 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter One: Rebirth of Beida Camp

    In the early morning, in the military camps of Fengtian City and Beidaying, the smoke from the kitchens was rising slowly, and the soldiers on the playground were shouting like thunder.  Zhang Xinghan stood in the field in front of the military camp wearing a military uniform, looking at the officers and soldiers who were doing morning exercises, and felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.  Just half a month ago, Zhang Xinghan fell into a mountain stream and died accidentally during a field military exercise. When Zhang Xinghan woke up, he found himself lying in a barracks of a military camp.  As a Chinese A-level special forces soldier in his previous life, he was no stranger to military camps, but the scene in front of him was very different from the barracks he was in during his lifetime. There were no smooth plaster walls and no bright light bulbs.  The entire barracks was a little dark, with a few small-wattage yellow light bulbs emitting faint light, and the limestone tile floor looked particularly cold.  After some communication with people around him, Zhang Xinghan learned that his current identity was the commander of the third battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army. It turned out that although he fell into the mountain stream and died accidentally in the accident, he came to  In September 1931 (the 20th year of the Republic of China) in Northeast China, he became a battalion commander of the Northeast Army.  Standing in the playground, Zhang Xinghan could not calm down for a long time. He had been uneasy for half a month. The day he arrived was September 1, 1931. He counted with his fingers and found that half a month had passed. That unforgettable event for countless Chinese people  The National Day of Humiliation, September 18th, is coming.  However, there was no atmosphere of nervous preparations in the entire Beida Camp. It was not that the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade were unaware of the Japanese army's obvious intentions, but that as the actual commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, Marshal Zhang had given repeated orders that if the Japanese army invaded, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Camp would fire bullets.  In order to avoid conflicts, the senior officials will come forward to negotiate.  This order was naturally given by the famous Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  Zhang Xinghan was full of disdain for this non-resistance order, which was regarded as extremely stupid by later generations. It was because of the non-resistance order that the 300,000 well-equipped Northeastern Army was driven out of the four northeastern provinces by the Japanese Kwantung Army without firing a single shot. Thirty million compatriots  They became slaves to the subjugation of the country, and more than one million square kilometers of land fell.  This is a disgrace, a great disgrace to the entire Chinese nation. Three hundred thousand elite Northeastern troops lost one-ninth of the country without firing a single shot, leaving tens of millions of compatriots in dire straits and at the mercy of others.  However, Zhang Xinghan was unable to change it at this time, because he was only a battalion-level commander of the Northeast Army and was unable to change the high-level decision-making of the entire Northeast Army.  But there is one thing Zhang Xinghan can do, and that is to train the officers and soldiers of the third battalion diligently. When September 18th comes, he will lead the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to defend the Beida Camp and defend Fengtian City (Shenyang) with their blood!  This is the responsibility that a soldier should fulfill.  Protect your home and country!  Even after nine deaths, I have no regrets!  …………………… “Kill! Kill! Kill!” “Kill! Kill! Kill!” The officers and soldiers of the third battalion who were practicing stabbing on the playground shouted in unison and the sound echoed over the entire Beida Camp, and Zhang Xinghan also  I woke up from my deep thoughts just now.  Although Marshal Zhang issued a "non-resistance" order, most of the soldiers of the Northeast Army have long been dissatisfied with the atrocities of the Japanese army. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of various departments have not slackened in their training and are always waiting for the Marshal to lead them in a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders.  It's just that the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army didn't know that when the war started, Marshal Zhang, the absolute leader in their hearts and the soul of the Northeast Army, was going his own way and ignorantly carrying out Chairman Chiang's policy of appeasement before resisting foreign aggression.  One hundred thousand Northeastern officers and soldiers abandoned their armor and retreated into the pass without firing a single shot.  Thirty million people were displaced and trampled under the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders. From then on, they were in dire straits and became slaves of the subjugated country for fourteen years. ??????????????????????????????????? Little Do I Know That The Northeast Army's retreat has opened the country's gates, and the people inside and outside the pass have been devastated by the war, and countless people have their families destroyed and displaced)).  "If the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army knew the result, I think as long as they are still men and the egg in their crotch is still there, they will never be willing to lose their hometown and fellow villagers to the enemy and become despicable slaves of subjugation!  Zhang Xinghan thought to himself.  Although half a month was not long, Zhang Xinghan still taught all the officers and soldiers of the third battalion what he had learned in the army in his previous life. He only hoped that they could learn more enemy-killing skills and be able to fight more in the following battles.  Kill some Japanese invaders.  Although the officers and soldiers of the third battalion obviously lacked understanding of the new training method taught to them by the battalion commander, it is no wonder that they knew the training method more than sixty years later. This training method was summed up after countless actual combats.  Yes, looking at today, even the most powerful German army in World War II is beyond its reach.  Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan still has a high prestige in the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion. Although the officers and soldiers did not understand it, they trained diligently under Zhang Xinghan's guidance.  At this time, a tall and tall officer wearing a colonel’s military uniform stood tall and tallChest strode over, followed by a guard.  Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhang Xinghan turned around and took a look. He immediately stood up and said: "Regiment seat!" The person who came was none other than Wang Tiehan, the colonel leader of the 620th Regiment of the **7th Brigade of the Northeast Army.  "Yes!" Wang Tiehan saluted back with a solemn expression: "Xinghan, you did a good job!" "The regiment has won a prize. Now the invaders' intentions are known to the world. They hold so-called military exercises from time to time, but they are just a cover-up.  "You really want to seize our four eastern provinces. As a soldier from the four provinces, you have the heavy responsibility of defending the country and resisting the enemy. It is your job to train diligently!" Zhang Xinghan said calmly.  "Xinghan, you said it well! Pay close attention to training so that you can serve the country and protect your fellow villagers in the future!" Wang Tiehan nodded.  "Yes!" Zhang Xinghan stood upright and responded without squinting.  At this time, the officers and soldiers had stopped their morning exercises and it was time to have breakfast. At this time, the Northeastern Army was undoubtedly the best among the local warlords in terms of food and equipment, and was not much worse than the Central Army.  Zhang Xinghan turned around with a snap and said solemnly: "Everyone is here, disband!" The more than 700 officers and soldiers of the whole battalion immediately dispersed in a rush. It was time to train and sweat, and it was time to eat green onions and garlic. The favorite of Northeastern Army soldiers, green onion dipping sauce.  .  At this time, the total strength of the 7th Brigade reached more than 10,000 people, including more than 8,000 combat personnel. It has three infantry regiments, and each regiment has three infantry battalions, a machine gun company, and a communications platoon.  The troops directly under the brigade have communications, baggage, machine guns, automobiles and other departments.  Zhang Xinghan's third battalion has three infantry companies, a heavy machine gun platoon with three Maxim heavy machine guns, a light artillery platoon, and four 60mm mortars. In addition to the three infantry platoons, each of the other companies has an artillery squad, or  One or two 60 mortars.  Such equipment is not common in the Northeastern Army. It was even considered one of the best in the country at that time, and it was not much inferior to the Central Army with all German weapons.  **The reason why the 7th Brigade can have such firepower equipment is because the 7th Brigade is the elite of the Northeast Army. It is the direct line of Marshal Zhang. It is similar to Zhang Lingfu’s 74th Division later and was Chairman Chiang’s Royal Forest Army.  .  Although the 7th Brigade was inferior in organization and personnel to the later 74th Division of the Royal Forest Army, it was adapted from Zhang Xueliang's Guards Brigade. From the day it was formed, it was regarded by Marshal Zhang as a close relative and the most elite unit in the Northeast Army.  The ace among aces.  This is also the reason why Marshal Zhang deployed the 7th Brigade in Beida Camp. As we all know, Beida Battalion guards the gate of Fengtian City (Shenyang). The Shenyang Arsenal, the largest arsenal in the country at that time, is behind them. There are a dazzling array of weapons, ammunition, and various equipment in Beida Camp. If  If the war is urgent, as long as Zhang Xueliang gives an order, the 7th Brigade can instantly open the warehouse and expand the army by one to three divisions.  Because at this time, Fengtian City (Shenyang City) had at least thousands of military police and an astonishing number of retired soldiers. In the early years when the Zhang family and his sons were in charge of the Northeast, their military strength once expanded to four to five million. Later, during the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang led the Northeast Army to change its flag.  After changing the flag and surrendering to the Nanjing government, the Nanjing government reorganized the Northeast Army. Zhang Xueliang also adopted the policy of improving troops and simplifying administration and reduced the number of troops to no less than 100,000. Among them, some of these retired officers and soldiers went home to work in farming, and most of them went to Shenyang and other major cities or  He became a military policeman, a military policeman, or a production worker in the Shenyang Arsenal.  Therefore, once the war begins, as long as Zhang Xueliang gives an order, the weapons and equipment accumulated in Shenyang City are enough to instantly expand twenty divisions or brigades.  Of course, these are just assumptions. If Zhang Xueliang had truly resisted, it would have been impossible for the Kwantung Army to defeat Wang Yizhe's elite 7th Brigade in a short period of time, nor would it have captured the entire city of Shenyang within five hours, let alone in one  Within a week, almost the entire territory of Liao-Ji Province was captured, covering more than a thousand miles.  As long as he gives an order, the more than 200,000 Northeastern Army officers and soldiers staying in the Northeast, the Northeastern officers and soldiers with navy, land and air force, can drive the Japanese Kwantung Army out of the three Northeastern provinces within a week, and even annihilate them all.  The more than 100,000 troops of Japan were also able to quickly return to support. Once the Japanese Kwantung Army's attack was thwarted, its domestic anti-war faction would immediately gain the upper hand, and the humiliation brought to China by the September 18th Incident would not be possible.  It is very likely that the July 7th Incident and the Japanese army's all-out war of aggression against China can be avoided or postponed, because after the Japanese authorities have a taste of the combat effectiveness and resistance determination of the Squadron, they will not have enough confidence to launch an invasion in a short time.  Chinese war.  Unfortunately, due to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's "non-resistance order" in Nanjing, hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops withdrew into the pass without firing a shot.  During the September 18th Incident, the losses in Shenyang City alone were extremely staggering, including more than 100,000 rifles stored in the Shenyang Arsenal, more than 60,000 pistols and machine guns, more than 200 heavy artillery and field guns, and 200 weapons stored in the aviation offices of the three northeastern provinces.  The remaining aircraft also fell into enemy hands.  Except for gunsEquipment, as well as countless bullets, artillery shells and other ammunition, the gun and artillery production lines of Shenyang Arsenal all fell into the hands of the enemy.  In addition, the Japanese army looted and looted everywhere after entering the city. According to official statistics, Shenyang lost at least 1.8 billion overnight.  PS: After hibernating this year, the autumn wind rises and the leaves fall, returning to the military. I hope to get the support of the vast number of new and old readers, so that we can continue to embark on a passionate journey of resistance.  This book inherits the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese tiger and the golden finger of the Super Chinese Empire, but it will not open the golden finger too much like the empire, but strive for moderation and reasonableness, so stay tuned!  !  !

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter Two: Infinite Bullet Production Machine

    After the officers and soldiers of the third battalion dispersed for dinner, the regiment leader Wang Tiehan declined Zhang Xinghan's invitation to have dinner with him and left with the guards.  Zhang Xinghan didn’t think much about it. After having breakfast with the officers and soldiers, he handed over the training to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo and then returned to his ** barracks alone.  As the commander of the third battalion, Zhang Xinghan has a private bedroom that is not very spacious.  Walking into the bedroom, Zhang Xinghan first lit a cigarette, sat at a square table not far from the bed and took a few puffs, then took out something from his pocket.  This was what he had brought with him when he was reborn. It was similar in shape to a multi-functional full-touch screen watch from later generations. Previously, the functions of this watch were not limited to telling the time and checking the date. It could also be used as an MP3 or MP4 player.  use.  As for how this multi-functional watch came to this time and space with him, Zhang Xinghan couldn't explain it. Isn't it an unexplainable fact that he can travel through time and be reborn?  Playing with the watch boredly, Zhang Xinghan was surprised to find that the power grid on the watch display was still full. He had not noticed this a few days ago. After all, the battery storage capacity of the watch was still very good.  But after thinking about it, it has been more than half a month since I traveled through time. Even if the battery of this watch has a strong power storage capacity, it is impossible for it to be on standby for more than half a month and still have full power, right?  Confused, Zhang Xinghan clicked on the screen lock of his watch and flipped through familiar songs and movies. Suddenly, a picture caught Zhang Xinghan's attention.  That is an in-game item, a simulation graphic called an infinite bullet production machine. After all, Zhang Xinghan is a soldier, and he likes everything related to the military.  So during a leisurely vacation while surfing the Internet, he downloaded this game from a famous military website, including this infinite bullet production machine.  According to the game description, this unlimited bullet production machine can produce various types of bullets in the game since the advent of thermal weapons, such as bullets for famous rifles such as Hanyang, Zhongguan, and Sanba Dagai during the Anti-Japanese War. Of course, in addition to rifles  , pistol bullets, machine gun bullets, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets and artillery shells of various calibers are also included.  Out of curiosity, Zhang Xinghan clicked on the game again. When he randomly clicked on the production of a rifle cartridge, something strange happened.  Zhang Xinghan’s watch first made an unprecedented sound, and then the LCD screen emitted a dazzling colorful light, and then a virtual light curtain about three meters square appeared around the watch.  A few clear large characters on the light screen are particularly eye-catching: Hanyang made five rounds of rifle ammunition. It is in production. Please wait Under Zhang Xinghan's surprised eyes, five brand-new 7.92MM round-nose rifle rounds were installed in a leaky clip.  It fell out of the almost substantial light curtain.  It landed on the table in front of Zhang Xinghan with a clang.  Zhang Xinghan, who was in a daze, picked up the clip and couldn't help but cursed: "What a fool!"     How is this going?  Bewildered and shocked, Zhang Xinghan clicked his watch several times in a row with excitement. As a result, he almost became overly excited. ??????????? All the bullets he selected were produced in less than a minute. What does this mean?  This means that Zhang Xinghan will have an unlimited supply of bullets from now on.  With an unlimited supply of bullets, he and his soldiers will not have to worry about running out of ammunition when fighting the Japanese invaders. Moreover, in the future, he can use the bullets he got for free to exchange for money and other things he wants, such as various military industries.  Machines, and even using the money from selling bullets to buy aircraft and cannons are not impossible.  After all, your own bullets are cost-free and can be sold at ultra-low prices. As long as the price is lower than the cost of the other party's own manufacturing, they will definitely buy them in large quantities.  The most important thing is that Zhang Xinghan has already made up his mind about the upcoming September 18th Incident. Once that day comes, he will lead the three battalions of soldiers to defend Beida Camp and Fengtian to the death.  But Zhang Xinghan also knew that it was easy to hold the Beida Camp with his existing troops. It was not so easy to hold the entire Fengtian City and deal with the Japanese army's subsequent counterattack.  But now that there is an unlimited supply of bullets, Zhang Xinghan has an extra trump card in his hand. After all, China now lacks everything except people.  As long as there are weapons and ammunition, there will be no shortage of troops, because Zhang Xinghan does not believe that the huge Fengtian City with a population of hundreds of thousands will lack passionate men who dare to fight the Japanese invaders to the death.  Just when Zhang Xinghan was still immersed in the joy of having this unlimited supply of bullets, footsteps sounded outside the bedroom.  A soldier came quickly and saluted Zhang Xinghan: {Barracks, a woman came outside the barracks. She said she was your fiancée and she wanted to see you for something.  }    {Um?  ｝Zhang Xing?He raised his eyebrows and immediately thought that in the remaining memory of this body, he was from the east of Fengtian City. He had parents and a younger brother. His father was in business and his younger brother was studying at Yanjing University in Peking. As for his fiancée, she should be  Wang Ruoying, the only daughter of General Wang Yizhe, the current commander of the 7th Brigade of the Northeastern Army's best friend, is his father's best friend.  {Why is she here?  ｝With doubts, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the bedroom and strode outside the camp.  Wang Ruoying was wearing a blue cheongsam and was walking back and forth on the path outside the camp. From time to time she turned her eyes to the military camp. The high slits of the cheongsam made her straight and slender legs exposed to the air from time to time as she walked, which was particularly tempting.  people.  While she was waiting a little anxiously, a tall and majestic figure appeared in her sight.  Seeing that he was still as charming as he hadn’t seen for many days, Wang Ruoying’s heart started to feel dissatisfied.  This was the first time Zhang Xinghan saw his fiancée. He was a little excited and mixed with a little curiosity and expectation. When he saw Wang Ruoying's face clearly, a feeling called surprise quickly spread in his heart.  Although Zhang Xinghan is not an appearance person, there is no man who does not want his woman to be a beautiful woman with a good appearance and a good figure and temperament.  No one wants to marry a dinosaur girl as his wife. Zhang Xinghan doesn’t ask for the beauty of his unmarried fiancée to be as beautiful as a fairy, as long as she can be seen through it. This is what Zhang Xinghan thought before meeting Wang Ruoying.  I just didn't expect that my fiancée would be so beautiful, with fair and smooth skin, a small cherry mouth with not too thick lips, a straight nose, and a pair of clear and bright red phoenix eyes under the curved Liu Yue eyebrows.  She had a beautiful face.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan arriving, Wang Ruoying smiled: {Xinghan, long time no see.  ｝ It didn’t matter that she smiled, two extremely cute dimples suddenly appeared on her cheeks. Zhang Xinghan couldn’t help but be stunned and stared at it.  Sensing Zhang Xinghan’s gaffe in front of her, Wang Ruoying not only didn’t get angry, but instead covered her mouth and started laughing.  No matter when, what woman doesn’t want her man to be distracted by her appearance and figure?  {Um, long time no see, Ruoying, why are you here today?  Could it be that you are looking for me if you have something to do?  ｝Zhang Xinghan coughed twice in embarrassment and asked quickly.     {how?  Can't I come to you if nothing happens?  ｝Wang Ruoying frowned and said deliberately.  {Depends on what you mean, of course.  ｝Zhang Xinghan was afraid of arousing Wang Ruoying's suspicion, so he smiled quickly.  {Hmph, you promised me that you would go shopping with me today, but now you are pretending to be crazy. What do you mean?  ｝Wang Ruoying pouted her mouth angrily and muttered with dissatisfaction.  {Oh, this is about it. I have been too busy with military affairs these days. As you know, the relationship between China and Japan is tense now. The Japanese invaders from the South Manchuria Railway Garrison are stationed not far from Fengtian, and they have been mobilized frequently recently.  We are ordered to be more vigilant and take strict precautions to prepare for unexpected events.  ｝Zhang Xinghan explained.  After listening to Zhang Xinghan’s explanation, Wang Ruoying nodded in understanding, her face returned to normal and calmly said: {I have also heard from my father in the past few days that the Japanese have been mobilized frequently, and I am afraid there is some conspiracy.  ｝ ｛Well, so I won’t go shopping with you today. I will play with you after this period of time.  ｝Zhang Xinghan said with a heavy face.  Sensing the change in Zhang Xinghan’s face, Wang Ruoying immediately said: {It’s okay. In fact, I have nothing to do. I just want you to spend more time with me. Since you have military affairs, you won’t go shopping.  If a war does break out, you must be more careful and take care of yourself.  ｝ ｛Well, I will, don’t worry.  ｝Zhang Xinghan solemnly nodded in agreement.  {Then I’ll go back first.  ｝Wang Ruoying looked at Zhang Xinghan with some reluctance.     {Um.  ｝Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: {You should also take care of yourself!  }    {oh!  ｝Wang Ruoying responded in a daze, looking at Zhang Xinghan's handsome face with beautiful eyes, then turned around and left reluctantly, taking three steps and looking back.  Looking at Wang Ruoying who was gradually going away and her eyes full of love and reluctance, something in Zhang Xinghan's heart was touched.  {Ruoying, wait a moment.  ｝Zhang Xinghan made up his mind to chase Wang Ruoying.     {Um?  ｝Wang Ruoying stopped in confusion and looked excitedly at Zhang Xinghan who was running towards her.  Under Wang Ruoying’s surprised gaze, Zhang Xinghan reached out and grabbed her white and smooth catkins, smiled heartily and said: {Let’s go shopping.  ｝ Wang Ruoying seemed to be in a dream, looking at Zhang Xinghan with surprise: {You are not involved in military matters} Before Wang Ruoying finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Xinghan: {It's okay, Jianguo is here, I will accompany you to have a good day.  }    {Um!  ｝Wang Ruo??I was so moved that I cried with joy and nodded heavily.  The national calamity is approaching, and our soldiers are shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the land and guarding the border. Soon the generals of the Xinghan Dynasty will lead the soldiers to swear to live and die with Fengtian. Life and death are unpredictable. I hope I can leave you a good memory today, and it is not in vain that you and I met and fell in love.  One game.  Running hand in hand with Wang Ruoying, Zhang Xinghan looked at his fiancée with tenderness and thought deeply in his heart.  If it weren’t for the war, maybe I could be in love with her and live a happy life from then on, right?  Zhang Xinghan looked at Wang Ruoying, who looked happy and happy, and sighed secretly.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 3: This is fucking China

    Women all like to go shopping. This is almost a woman's nature, except of course during the feudal period when yellow-flowered girls never left their boudoir or left their embroidery building.  Now, since the founding of the Republic of China and the promotion of democracy and freedom, the status of women has really improved. Although some places are still lagging behind, the status of women has not been improved as much as it should be.  But Fengtian, the largest city in the economic and political center of the three eastern provinces, is obviously not an example. Compared with remote and backward areas, Fengtian is extremely open and prosperous.  As the daughter of the leader of the Fengtian City garrison who had studied abroad, Wang Ruoying's thoughts were even more open and cheerful, without any shyness of women in feudal society. She held Zhang Xinghan's hand all over the street, looking at this and pointing, completely immersed in being with her sweetheart.  in a happy atmosphere.  After not much shopping, Zhang Xinghan had seven or eight more bags, big and small, in his hand. However, Wang Ruoying did not buy women's products such as rouge and gouache, but almost all of them were bought for Zhang Xinghan, including cigarettes, foreign wine, watches, and  A couple of suits and stuff like that.  The two of them walked eastward along Fengtian Street and soon came to a crossroads in the center of the city.  This place is very prosperous, with vendors and people everywhere. The shops on both sides of the street are next to each other. The streets are bustling with people coming and going.  If he were not familiar with history, Zhang Xinghan would really feel that he had arrived in a prosperous and prosperous age. In fact, under the management of Zhang and his sons for many years, the three northeastern provinces have been doing pretty well in terms of local people's livelihood, economy and military strength.  In terms of finance, the Northeast Military Government is self-sufficient and very well-off. Not only is the government rich, but the living standards of the people are also pretty good, at least much better than those in the Central Plains provinces where warlords have been fighting for years.  Fengtian City is so prosperous and prosperous, and the fertile Northeast is also full of beautiful rivers and mountains. I can't let it fall into the hands of the Japanese.  Zhang Xinghan was even more determined.  While walking around, suddenly there was a loud noise at the intersection ahead, and many people heard the sound and gathered around.  {The Japanese are beating people, the Japanese are beating people} The shouts of some Fengtian citizens reached Zhang Xinghan's ears.  {Ruoying, let’s go take a look.  ｝Zhang Xinghan called Wang Ruoying and strode towards the crowd.  After pushing through the crowd and coming to the front, Zhang Xinghan saw two Japanese ronin beating an old man with white hair on his temples. Next to the old man, a bamboo basket fell to the ground, with more than a dozen fish scattered on the ground.  Apparently the old man was a fish seller. At this time, he had been beaten by two Japanese ronin until he vomited blood. Although there were many people watching around him, they only dared to condemn and did not dare to come forward. After all, the two Japanese ronin were carrying steel knives.  , and they know very well that the Japanese are treacherous and cunning, and the government has nothing to do with them. They turn a blind eye to everything and make peace with others. If they offend the Japanese, they will probably be left with nothing to eat in the end!  } So, no one dared to stop it.  {Stop!  ｝ Anger ignited in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, he left the gift in his hand on the ground, shouted loudly, and ran quickly towards the two Japanese ronin who did not stop.  As he approached, Zhang Xinghan flew up and kicked a Japanese ronin who had just turned around with the force of running.  {Poof!  ｝Zhang Xinghan kicked the Japanese ronin in the chest, and the huge force immediately kicked him away and fell heavily to the ground.     {idiot!  ｝Another Japanese ronin was furious when he saw this, but what he responded to was a heavy punch from Zhang Xinghan. In his previous life, Zhang Xinghan was one of the most outstanding special forces of the Republic. He was outstanding in both shooting and fighting. Now he is possessed by this body that has been reborn.  His quality is also extremely outstanding, so in an instant, Zhang Xinghan's explosive power is extremely powerful.     {Snapped!  ｝A heavy punch hit the Japanese Ronin in the face, causing him to spin and retreat.  After taking several steps back, the ronin stopped, covering half of his bruised and swollen face, not caring to wipe the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Only then did the ronin see Zhang Xinghan clearly.  Seeing that he was wearing a military uniform, the Japanese Ronin was obviously startled, but he soon returned to normal, his eyes still full of excitement and anger, and shouted to Zhang Xinghan in blunt Chinese: {Bagaya Road, despicable China soldier, I am  Residents of the Japanese Empire, how dare you hit me!  ｝ Zhang Xinghan sneered and said nothing. At this time, the ronin who was kicked down by Zhang Xinghan stood up with blood on his chest and mouth. Seeing that Zhang Xinghan didn't speak, the two thought that Zhang Xinghan was scared.  The ronin who had been punched by Zhang Xinghan suddenly became energetic, pointed at Zhang Xinghan and said: {China pig, kneel down and apologize to us, otherwise you will die.  ｝ Zhang Xinghan still did not answer, but roared and rushed towards the two Japanese werewolves with lightning speed. The two ronin quickly drew their swords, but Zhang Xinghan was faster than they imagined.  Before they could pull out their Japanese swords, Zhang Xinghan jumped to the ground.?, kicked the two of them with both feet. The two Japanese ronin were unable to dodge and were kicked by Zhang Xinghan at the same time. They were kicked to the ground one after another.  One blow knocked down the two men at the same time. Zhang Xinghan did not continue, but stood proudly and looked at the two Japanese lying on the ground with frightened faces with disdain. He said in a deep voice: {Listen to me, what the hell is this?  It's Fengtian, China, not Tokyo!  If you want to run wild here, there is no way!  }    {asshole!  ｝After being beaten by Zhang Xinghan one after another, and hearing Zhang Xinghan's words again, the two arrogant Japanese ronin were furious. They almost simultaneously pulled out the Japanese swords they carried and rushed towards Zhang Xinghan while roaring.  {Xinghan, be careful!  ｝Wang Ruoying in the back saw two Japanese ronin drawing swords, and immediately exclaimed as a reminder.  Zhang Xinghan was not nervous at all. He clenched his fists and shouted angrily: {Seeking death!  ｝ One side dodged the steel knife slashed by one of the Japanese ronin. Zhang Xinghan reached out and grabbed the other Japanese ronin's arm, and twisted it hard. The Japanese ronin suddenly let out a miserable howl, and the Japanese sword in his hand quietly left his hand.  Zhang Xinghan quickly caught the Japanese sword with his right hand, kicked the Japanese ronin down, and slashed at another Japanese ronin with the sword.  {哐哐吐} Several harsh sounds of gold and iron were heard in succession. Zhang Xinghan wielded his Japanese sword and struck a blow with the Japanese ronin. The fierce force beat the ronin back repeatedly.  In the end, Zhang Xinghan swept through thousands of troops with one strike. The Japanese ronin's jaw was shattered, and the Japanese sword in his hand was knocked away.  {Shua}Zhang Xinghan held the knife with one hand on the neck of the Japanese ronin. The sharp blade was only two inches away from his aorta.  Feeling the cold breath coming from his neck, the Japanese ronin suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, looking at Zhang Xinghan with horror on his face. 我 Beating the elderly in our country on the street, and also to harm me with a knife, Little Japan, you are too fucking.  ｝Zhang Xinghan said coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.  At this moment, several rapid and harsh whistles sounded in vain.  As the crowd opened up, several Fengtian policemen in black police uniforms ran over in a hurry.  The leading policeman looked at the defeated Japanese ronin and saw Zhang Xinghan holding a knife against a Japanese. His face suddenly changed with fear.  He rushed to Zhang Xinghan and saw that Zhang Xinghan had the rank of lieutenant colonel. He hurriedly saluted and asked: {What's going on?  ｝ Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the sound, and felt that the person in front of him looked very familiar.  The policeman was also startled, and then said in surprise: {Brother, why is it you?  ｝ At this time, Zhang Xinghan remembered this person. He was the deputy chief of Fengtian Police Station. He and Zhang Xinghan were brothers who grew up together. His name was Wang Yicai. He was also a battalion commander of the regular Northeast Army. Later, Marshal Zhang took power in the Northeast and changed the  After the banner was changed to submit to the Nanjing government, more than 100,000 people were disarmed and reorganized, and Wang Yicai was transferred to Fengtian Police Station as deputy director.  {They beat the old fish seller in the street, and they even tried to chop me, but I beat him up.  ｝Zhang Xinghan explained nonchalantly.  {Ouch, my brother Xinghan, why are you so impulsive? Don’t you know what time it is now?  ｝Wang Yicai hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the knife from Zhang Xinghan's hand, and whispered: "The relationship between China and Japan is now tense and delicate. A war may break out if you are not careful. The Marshal has repeatedly ordered not to conflict with the Japanese. You are not the one."  have no idea.  ｝ When the two Japanese ronin saw the police arriving and Wang Yicai snatching the knife from Zhang Xinghan's hand, they suddenly became arrogant again, pointed at Zhang Xinghan and said to Wang Yicai: {Your soldiers are beating up our citizens of the Empire of Japan, you must kill them immediately.  Catch him!  ｝????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don’t fuck up, you are beating the common people of our country, and you are holding knives to hurt my *** people. This is just a small punishment for you, let’s forget it like this, don’t fucking not  Know your identity and get out of here!  ｝Wang Yicai certainly had no interest in the Japanese. As a soldier, he ignored the Japanese ronin's calls and shouted at them with a livid face.  {Hmph, just wait, this matter will never be over.  ｝Seeing that things were not going well for them, the Japanese ronin snorted, picked up his companions, and left in embarrassment.  After the two Japanese ronin left, Wang Yicai waved his hands to the people watching around him and said loudly: {Folks, please disperse, disperse, it’s okay.  } After the onlookers dispersed, Wang Yicai turned to Zhang Xinghan and said: {Brother, you should go back to the military camp as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the little devils will use this matter to put pressure on us on the summit. It's safer for you to return to the military camp.  }    {Um.  ｝Zhang Xinghan understood that his actions just now might induce the September 18th Incident to break out in advance, so he nodded immediately.  {Xinghan, are you okay?  ｝Wang Ruoying came over with a concerned look on her face.  {Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my fiancée Wang Ruoying.  ｝Zhang Xinghan introduced sideways.  &nbsp; {General Wang’s daughter Ruoying has been well-known for a long time. When I saw her today, she turned out to be as handsome and beautiful as a fairy. My eldest brother Xinghan is so lucky to be able to marry sister Ruoying.  ｝Wang Yicai's eyes lit up and he joked with a smile.  {You boy!  ｝Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but give Wang Yicai a slap and introduced Wang Ruoying: ｛This is Wang Yicai, my little brother, who is currently the deputy chief of Fengtian Police Department.  ｝ ｛Ruoying has met Director Wang.  ｝Although Wang Ruoying has a cheerful personality, she still knows how to be polite. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You are out of touch now. In the past, brothers like me had to kneel down and bow to my sister-in-law for the first time.  So, don’t call me Director, just call me Yicai.  ｝Wang Yicai said with a smile.  {Good, righteous wealth.  ｝Wang Ruoying was not a shy person, so she changed her tune quickly, but a blush appeared on her cheeks. After all, she had not yet officially married Zhang Xinghan, and the call from Wang Yicai's sister-in-law made her somewhat shy.  PS: Please vote, collect, and click.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter Four: The Storm is Coming

    In the evening of that day, at the headquarters of the 2nd ** garrison brigade of the Fengtian North Japanese Army's South Manchuria Railway, the current garrison brigade captain Shimamoto Masaichi was making a phone call with a solemn expression.  Behind him, two Japanese ronin carrying samurai swords were waiting on thin ice. They were the two people who were taught a lesson by Zhang Xinghua in Fengtian City during the day.  After being beaten, the two immediately left Fengtian by train and came to the station of the Second Military Guard Brigade. They reported to Shimamoto Masaichi that they were beaten in public by the Japanese in Fengtian City.  After Shimamoto Shoichi learned about it, he knew that this very sensitive period was of great importance, and he could not make up his mind. He immediately reported to Kanto who was urgently planning a detailed operational plan against the Northeastern Army, or to be precise, against the Chinese defenders of Fengtian City and Beidaying.  The new senior chief of staff of the army, Seishiro Itagaki, and the director of the operations department, Kanji Ishihara, and others reported.  The call was answered, and Shimamoto Shoichi reported the incident in detail to Ishihara Wanji, who answered the phone on the other end.  After Ishihara Wanji finished listening, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before a voice came.  However, the person speaking this time was not Kanji Ishihara, but Seishiro Itagaki. On the other end of the phone, in the Operations Department of the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun, Seishiro Itagaki said in a serious tone: {Shimamoto-kun, listen, the current situation for China Fengtian and  The battle plan of Beida Camp is still being formulated urgently. We are not fully prepared yet. You should ignore this matter for the time being. I will notify the diplomatic and consulates and let them test the pressure on the Chinese, so as to attract the dispersal of China.  Attention, provide effective cover and support for our next attack.  Understand?  }????????????????????? {Hay!  Humble position understands.  } On the other end of the phone, Shimamoto Masaichi nodded quickly. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and said coldly to the two ronin with a dark face: {The superiors have handed over this matter to the consulate. You can go down.  }????????????????????? {Hay!  }The two Japs bowed their heads at the same time, then turned around and left together.  ………………………………… In the conference hall of the Japanese Army Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters in Lushun.  Itagaki Seishiro, who had just finished talking to Shimamoto Shoichi, put down the phone, his face became more fierce and gloomy, and smiled at Ishihara who was sitting in front of him: {Ishihara-kun, the Chinese soldiers are so arrogant that they dare to beat our Chinese citizens in the street. It’s really true.  This is extremely arrogant. I agree with the battle plan to launch an attack on the Northeast Army the day after tomorrow.  }??????????????????????????? Itagaki-kun, you don’t need to be angry, the day after tomorrow we can punish those arrogant and despicable Chinese people, and let them know that the consequences of offending the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan are death.  } Ishihara Wanji stood up immediately upon hearing this and said with a sneer.  In fact, Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others had long been ambitious and secretly planning how to launch a battlefield, provoke trouble, and provide opportunities and excuses for the Japanese army to invade Fengtian and even the entire Northeast.  "It's just that they haven't made up their minds for a short time. After all, with their current military strength in the Northeast, they are at an absolute disadvantage, and rashly provoking a war is extremely risky.  If nothing else, just say that near Fengtian City, they only have the 29th Infantry Regiment of the Second Division and a ** garrison. The 29th Infantry Regiment has about two to three thousand people, and Shimamoto Masaichi's ** garrison.  The brigade has only 600 people and consists of four squadrons.  In addition to the large number of military police stationed in the entire Fengtian City, the Beida Camp more than ten miles north of the city is stationed with at least 10,000 elite Northeastern troops.  "And it is Shimamoto Masaichi's 2nd Army Garrison Brigade that is close to the 7th Brigade of the Northeastern Army of Beidaying. The disparity in strength is too great, and a hasty war is full of unknown variables.  Moreover, if they want to attack, the Japanese army can only divide their troops into two groups to attack Fengtian City and Beidaying at the same time, because neither Itagaki Seishiro nor Ishihara Kanji are sure whether all the Japanese troops concentrated near Fengtian City can attack in the northeast.  Before the arrival of military reinforcements, the **7th Brigade of the Northeastern Army stationed in Beidaying was defeated.  Because he is the ace among the aces in the Northeast Army. The elite troops of Zhang Xueliang's direct lineage are well-equipped and well-trained, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.  After all, once the Japanese army gathers more than 3,000 troops to attack Beida Camp, no matter whether the battle situation is stalemate, or the Japanese army pays a huge price to capture Beida Camp, will they still be able to win the battle in one go before the reinforcements of the Northeast Army arrive, having suffered heavy losses?  We have already taken precautions, and the city is surrounded by high walls and strong walls.  The answer is definitely no.  Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others decided during discussions that if they launched an attack, they would have to divide their troops into two groups and use the 29th Infantry Regiment with more troops and stronger combat power to launch a surprise attack on Fengtian City.  Seize Fengtian City with superior combat power.  ??And Shimamoto Masaichi’s Second Garrison Brigade was responsible for carrying out night attacks on Beida Camp. They did not seek to defeat the Northeastern Army in Beida Camp, but only wanted to contain them and buy time for the main force to capture Fengtian and for the arrival of reinforcements.     thisIn this way, as long as the 29th Infantry Regiment captures Fengtian City in time and reinforcements arrive in time, it will be much easier to deal with the 7th Brigade of Beida Camp.  However, whether a mere 600 people could contain the tens of thousands of troops of the Seventh Brigade was something that Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji were very worried about, so they were unable to make up their minds.  Zhang Xinghan's beating of two Japanese ronin in the street today just increased Itagaki Seishiro's determination to provoke a fight. Of course, even without Zhang Xinghan, Itagaki Seishiro and others would have made up their mind sooner or later. Maybe it would only be a day or a few days later than now.  Maybe an hour.  Because the history of the September 18th Incident broke out on September 18th, it is inevitable now.  What Zhang Xinghan did only played a slight role in promoting and guiding it, just like a pile of dry firewood that was about to burn at the critical point. What Zhang Xinghan did only made it burn earlier.  ???………………………………………………………… At the same time, the Beidaying Military Camp.  Zhang Xinghan separated from Wang Ruoying as early as the afternoon and returned to the military camp. After dinner, Zhang Xinghan took deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo and several subordinates to the vegetable field outside their camp defense area.  Speaking of this vegetable field, we have to talk about the current brigade commander of the 7th Brigade, General Wang Yizhe. Since the 7th Brigade was stationed in Peking University Camp, in order to improve the troops' food and strive for self-sufficiency, he reduced the financial burden of Shangfeng (Zhang Xueliang).  First, a munitions factory was opened. Soldiers with skills and learning ability were selected from the entire brigade, and various factories for leather shoes, toothpaste powder, footwear and socks were established.  In addition to the goods produced by the factory for the personal use of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade, the excess is also sold to some small traders in the form of wholesale, or by special personnel to the Fengtian city market for sale. In this way, after half a year, all battalions of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade have  Made money.  All of this money was used on the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade themselves, or was added to the military salary and distributed to the officers and soldiers, or used to improve their food and living standards.  Later, Wang Yizhe mobilized the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade to reclaim all the gaps between the barracks of each battalion and company in Beida Camp, as well as the overgrown wasteland outside Beida Camp, and planted various fruits and vegetables to improve the food of the officers and soldiers.  Therefore, most of the open space outside Beida Camp and the main road outside the military camp gate has been reclaimed and utilized.  There are vegetable and fruit fields everywhere, and what Zhang Xinghan and his party came to was the cabbage field in their camp reclamation area.  After walking back and forth in the cabbage field a few times, Zhang Xinghan set his sights on the woods in the distance of the cabbage field. It was about seven or eight hundred meters away from the camp of Beidaying. Over there was the South Manchuria Railway, which was not far away.  The Japanese Second Army Garrison Brigade is stationed.  If the Japanese army comes to attack, this forest will provide the Japanese army with excellent natural cover, which will help them quickly approach the 7th Brigade camp.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan staring at the woods in front of him without saying a word for a long time, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo asked doubtfully: "Battalion, is there any problem there?"  }???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Jianguo, you call all the engineers of our battalion, gather all the mines and weapons in our battalion, and bury a large number of mines densely in that forest and in our cabbage field. If there are not enough mines, then  Use grenades instead.  }Zhang Xinghan did not answer Liu Jianguo, but gave him instructions.  {Planting landmines?  Why?  Wouldn't this mean that our people wouldn't be able to come out?  The cabbage field is picked by a cooking team every day.  }Liu Jianguo was even more confused.  {You don’t need to ask about this. You will naturally know when the time comes. Just do as you are told. I will go to the group headquarters to find a group seat.  }Zhang Xinghan said calmly.     {okay.  }Liu Jianguo nodded in agreement, and turned back to the camp with Zhang Xinghan.  Ten minutes later, the 620th Regiment was at the headquarters.  Wang Tiehan, the leader of the Zhang Xing Han Dynasty, paid a standard military salute and said: {Regiment leader, I wonder if I have disturbed your rest.  } {Hehe, no, no, I am reading a book.  } Seeing Zhang Xinghan being so serious, Wang Tiehan smiled and waved his hand and said: {Come on, sit down.  } Zhang Xinghan sat down as he was told, and Wang Tiehan asked: {Why, you came to see me for something?  } Zhang Xinghan sat upright, looked at Wang Tiehan intently, and said in a serious tone: {Team leader, Xinghan came to you late at night to tell you something important.  }    {oh?  What's the matter?  }Wang Tiehan put down the book in his hand and asked curiously.  {According to intelligence, the Japanese Army's South Manchuria Railway ** garrison stationed not far from our camp has been mobilized frequently recently, and its troop strength has increased. The military police in the streets and towns along the railway have also changed their defenses. In addition, the South Manchuria Railway Station (  The Japanese businessmen near Shenyang Station also put on military uniforms. I guessed that the Japanese might want to provoke a war, and we had to guard against it.  } Zhang Xinghan prepared it before the futureThe rhetoric came out because he could not tell Wang Tiehan directly that the Japanese would launch an attack on Shenyang and Peking University Camp at the same time on September 18th, the day after tomorrow.  So we can only say that these are things that actually happened in history, in order to remind Wang Tiehan to consolidate his defense and be more vigilant.  Although there are three regiments stationed in the Peking University Camp, it is obviously unrealistic for a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander in Zhang Xinghan District to ask the other two regiments to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for battle.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan could only place his hopes on Wang Tiehan's 620th Regiment, the only one that had resisted in the battle at Beida Camp.  The total strength of the 620th Regiment is more than 3,000 people. Not counting the third battalion, there are still more than 2,000 people. If these two thousand people can be put into battle and stay with the third battalion to defend the Beida Camp, not only can they  It is not a problem to hold on to Beida Camp and even wipe out a few hundred invading Japanese troops.  Only by first guarding the Beida Camp and solving the Japanese second-largest garrison can Zhang Xinghan proceed with his next plan.  However, Wang Tiehan's answer made Zhang Xinghan a little unexpected. After Wang Tiehan listened to Zhang Xinghan's report, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he said very calmly: "Oh, I thought it was something important. I am also aware of what you said."  We got it and reported it to the brigade. After discussion, everyone agreed that this was a normal change of defense by the Japanese army and there was nothing to make a fuss about.  “After all, it’s not like the Japanese have never been mobilized so frequently. However, just in case, I have ordered all battalions and companies to be more vigilant.  }

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter Five: The War Is Coming

    {But, Tuanzuo, have you ever thought about it, what if the Japanese army really has an agenda?  }Zhang Xinghan said anxiously.  {He dares, with the 600 troops of his South Manchuria Railway Guard?  I can destroy them all with one group.  }Wang Tiehan said with confidence.  Zhang Xinghan nodded silently and did not persuade him again, because he really didn’t know how to persuade Wang Tiehan to prepare in advance. He couldn’t tell him that the Japanese army would attack on September 18th, right?  “Furthermore, Zhang Xinghan also figured out that no matter how well-prepared the entire 7th Brigade was, if there was no determination to resist on the summit, it would be in vain.  What’s more, now, the senior officers of the entire 7th Brigade seem to lack sufficient understanding of the possibility of a large-scale war. This can be seen from Wang Tiehan’s performance just now.  In fact, even Zhang Xueliang, the marshal of the Northeast Army at this time, believed that the Japanese would not launch a large-scale war because he believed that it was not in line with the current interests of the Japanese army. This was said by later generations Zhang Xueliang himself in his later years.  “It seems that we can only rely on ourselves in this matter,” Zhang Xinghan said secretly.  After paying a military salute to Wang Tiehan, he said goodbye and left.  Walking out of the regiment headquarters, Zhang Xinghan walked toward the battalion headquarters, lowering his head in thought.  His third battalion is a full-strength main battalion with more than 700 troops. If it is properly arranged, there is still hope of winning the upcoming defense battle of the Beida Battalion, Zhang Xinghan thought in his heart.  Only by solving the Second Continental Garrison Brigade of the Japanese South-Manchurian Railway that attacked Beida Camp first, can Zhang Xinghan be free to rescue Fengtian City.  Because there are thousands of military police in Fengtian City and the largest arsenal in the country, the ammunition stored in the arsenal warehouse is enough to expand the new army by several divisions.  Only by obtaining these can Zhang Xinghan turn the tide, because his bullet production machine can only produce ammunition, but cannot produce guns or artillery.  So at this stage, he must obtain a large number of guns and artillery from the Shenyang Arsenal and Shenyang City.  The regiment headquarters is not far from Zhang Xinghan's third battalion headquarters, about four to five hundred meters. Within a few minutes, Zhang Xinghan returned to his battalion headquarters.  At this time, a small-wattage yellow light bulb in the battalion headquarters gave off a faint light, preventing the entire battalion headquarters from being submerged in darkness.  Zhang Xinghan walked into the battalion headquarters, and the communications soldier Xiao Lizi who was left behind quickly came up to him and saluted: {Battalion seat, you are back!  } {Well, where is Deputy Battalion Commander Liu?  }Zhang Xinghan asked.  {Deputy Battalion Commander Liu led the engineers out.  }Xiao Lizi replied.     {oh.  }Zhang Xinghan knew that Liu Jianguo had laid the mines according to his instructions, so he nodded and was about to sit down when the phone at the battalion headquarters suddenly rang.  Xiao Lizi cleverly ran over and picked up the microphone: {Hey, we are the third battalion, who are you?  } On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man wearing a satin Confucian shirt said calmly: {Hello, I am Zhang Yuxi, I am looking for your battalion commander.  }????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It’s Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment, I will let our camp answer the phone.  }Xiao Lizi's tone suddenly became respectful.  Zhang Xinghan heard what Xiao Lizi said, but he did not take the initiative to step forward.  {Yingzuo, your father is calling to see you.  }Xiao Lizi turned to Zhang Xinghanhui to report.  {My dad?  !  }Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this. Since the army had a holiday once a month, Zhang Xinghan had not returned to his "own" home in Fengtian City since time traveling, so naturally he had not seen his father, who only had partial memories of him.  Mother.  Why are they calling at this time?  Zhang Xinghan was a little confused, but he still walked over and took the phone from Xiao Lizi: {Hello, Dad.  } {Xinghan, let me ask you, did you fight two Japanese ronin in Fengtian City during the day?  } Zhang Yuxi asked immediately on the other end of the phone.  {Well, they were bullying old people in the street, and when I saw them, I gave them a lesson out of anger.  }Although he didn’t know how his father knew, Zhang Xinghan still answered truthfully.  On the other end of the phone, Zhang Yu’s face was livid with joy: {You, you know how to cause trouble on impulse, don’t you know that Sino-Japanese relations are so tense now?  How dare you provoke the Japanese?  } {Dad, Xinghan, as a soldier, met the people of our country by the Japanese beaten by the Japanese. Can you ignore it?  What I did was just fulfilling my duty as a soldier.  }Zhang Xinghan's way of speaking righteously.  Zhang Yuxi on the other end of the phone softened her tone after listening to Zhang Xinghan's words, and said in a sweet and sincere voice: {I understand everything you said, but Xinghan, a good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences. The Japanese were in Huanggutun.  It also killed Marshal Zhang. Didn’t Marshal Zhang bear the hatred of killing his father?  You have to understand that I only have two sons, you and Xinghua, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.  } I feel the person on the other end of the phone who I have not yet met.Zhang Xinghan's heart warmed at his father's heartfelt concern and love, and he said: "Dad, I understand what you said, and I will pay attention to it in the future."  } Zhang Yuxi on the other end of the phone nodded with satisfaction and said: {Don’t worry too much about this matter. Before I called you, your Uncle Wang had already told me that they had suppressed this matter.  You won't have any trouble, just take care of yourself and come home to see me and your mother when you have time. After all, my second brother is not at home, so your mother will not be talking about you all day long.  }    {Oh well.  }Zhang Xinghan nodded: {Then you and your mother take care of yourself, that’s all.  }After that, he hung up the phone.  After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the battalion headquarters with a solemn mood, stared at the starry night sky and murmured to himself: With the virtue of the Japanese, they suffered a loss this time and did not take the opportunity to retaliate and threaten. It seems that the war is really coming soon.  coming. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Xinghan had a good sleep. Although he knew that the war was coming, he still had to eat and drink enough and get enough sleep to have the energy and physical strength to deal with the upcoming battle, right?  So, after washing up, Zhang Xinghan asked the orderly to bring the breakfast prepared for him in the kitchen to his bedroom, and began to eat breakfast happily.  Zhang Xinghan slept full of energy and ate a delicious breakfast, but as the deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo and dozens of engineers and soldiers in the battalion, their lives were not so good.  They fought hard all night last night and finally completed the mine laying task assigned to them by Zhang Xinghan.  No, when Zhang Xinghan was eating breakfast with gusto, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo walked in with a tired look on his face. His usually bright eyes were now red and bloodshot, looking very haggard and tired.  {Jianguo, are you done?  }Zhang Xinghan looked up at Liu Jianguo and asked.  {Well, according to your instructions, the open vegetable fields in our camp defense area were all buried with mines and grenades with trip ropes attached.  } Liu Jianguo yawned and replied.  {Okay, it's beautiful.  } Zhang Xinghan then showed a smile, pointed to the remaining breakfast on the table in front of him, and said hello: {Hurry up and have some breakfast. After eating, you and your brothers should go and catch up on your sleep to refresh me. What's next?  A fierce battle.  } {A fierce battle?  }Liu Jianguo looked at Zhang Xinghan suspiciously, but after working all night, his stomach was already growling with hunger. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to pick up the steamed buns and porridge on the table and started eating.  {Yes, a fierce battle.  }Zhang Xinghan nodded as if he was talking to himself.  ???……………………… September 17, 1931, at 3:30 in the afternoon, the 3rd Battalion Camp of the 620th Regiment in the North Camp of Fengtian City.  At this time, the sun has begun to tilt, and the less intense sunlight has stretched the figures of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion gathered in the open space of the station.  At the camp, more than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, led by Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo, formed seven neat rows. The soldiers wore neat and clean blue military uniforms and helmets or military caps with the blue sky and white sun emblem on their heads.  Wearing black cloth and white rough cloth shoes on the soles of the feet, and neat leggings on the legs.  Carrying on their shoulders are identical Liao 13-type manual bolt-action rifles, made in Hanyang. (The former is a self-produced standard rifle produced by the Shenyang Arsenal that imitates the Japanese 38 Gai and Mauser rifles. It is the main rifle weapon of the Northeast Army.}  , the sharp bayonet on the head of the rifle gave off a dazzling cold light under the sunlight. With the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion waiting, Zhang Xinghan led several orderlies and carried several large boxes from his battalion headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan walked out with his head held high. The eyes of the entire battalion officers and soldiers were attracted by the large wooden boxes carried by the orderly soldiers. Under the gaze of the entire battalion officers and soldiers, Zhang Xinghan led the orderly soldiers.  He carried the big wooden box to the rostrum in front of the queue. After getting on the stage, Zhang Xinghan first glanced at his subordinates under the stage and saw that their queues were horizontally and vertically aligned, and all the soldiers were in high spirits, with sharp bayonets in hand.  With a cold glow, a chilling air spread invisible. They are the most elite troops of the Northeast Army. They are the ace among aces. From this moment on, I, Zhang Xinghan, will rewrite their destiny. They will use it.  Their blood defended the Beida Camp and the dignity and glory of their ace troops of the Northeast Army. From then on, the Northeast Army was no longer a coward, but an unyielding anti-Japanese hero! Whether they live or die, their reputation will last forever!  Secretly making up his mind, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, and several servicemen behind him immediately opened all the large wooden boxes. As soon as the box was opened, the pile of bullets inside immediately glowed dazzlingly under the sunlight. Zhang Xinghan grabbed a handful of 7.92.  Rifle ammunition, he said loudly to the subordinates who were still confused in the audience: {Brothers, from now on, I will provide you with sufficient ammunition.Yao, you must cheer me up and defend our defense zone to the death and defend the honor of our soldiers.  } After saying that, before his confused subordinates could respond, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand again and said: {Infantry, each has one hundred and fifty rounds of rifle ammunition, each machine gun is equipped with three base ammunition, and each pistol is  Equipped with 100 rounds of bullets and 200 rounds of mortar shells for each gun, queue up now to get it!  } The officers and soldiers in the audience looked at each other in confusion. How come there is so much ammunition in the camp?  Two hundred rounds per mortar?  I'll be a good boy!  However, despite their doubts, all the officers and soldiers quickly carried out Zhang Xinghan's orders and lined up in an orderly manner to receive bullets and artillery shells. This shows that Zhang Xinghan's prestige among them is still very high.  PS: The first climax of this book is about to come. Please give Qiu Feng encouragement and support. Let us follow Zhang Xinghan and his soldiers to rush to the national crisis and turn the tide!  !  !

 Volume One: The September 18th War of Resistance Chapter Six: The September 18th Outbreak

    After about an hour or so, all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion finally received sufficient ammunition and returned to their original position to form a neat queue horizontally and vertically.  Foodies hope that they will never be able to finish their snacks, while prostitutes hope that they can persist and persist and not shoot out bullets so quickly.  As soldiers, especially in this era, their biggest hope is not how much military pay they have, or whether they can have enough to eat, but that their bullet bags will always be full.  Because only with sufficient ammunition can they win every battle they participate in. Only by winning battles can they survive and have the opportunity to receive military pay and food.  Therefore, after receiving an unprecedented amount of ammunition, all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were filled with a sense of happiness.  {Brothers, the Japanese have frequently held military exercises in recent days, and they are also targeted military exercises with us as the imaginary enemy and target. Their sinister intentions are clearly exposed.  As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to use it. In these troubled times, our soldiers should shoulder the responsibility on our shoulders to defend Fengtian, defend the Northeast, and defend the 30 million elders in the three northeastern provinces!  Because they raised us, the guns, artillery, military uniforms and quilts in our hands were all given to us by the folks from the three eastern provinces.  ??To put it in layman’s terms, it’s just a sentence. Soldiers eat food and fight. That’s a matter of course. We usually eat the common people’s food and wear the common people’s clothes. What do the common people want?  Don’t we just hope that when foreign enemies invade, we can stand up and defend our country?  Therefore, in order to prevent the possible outbreak of war conflicts in the future, I declare that the entire 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army will immediately enter a state of emergency combat readiness, level one alert, and be ready for battle at any time!  Understand?  } Zhang Xinghan stood on the rostrum, scanning the officers and soldiers in the audience with his eyes like knives, and said loudly and solemnly, and the last sentence made his voice even more accentuated.     {clear!  Defend Beida Camp to the death!  Defend Fengtian City!  Defend the three eastern provinces!  } More than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo, responded in unison.  ???…………………………………………………………… At about 10 o’clock in the night on September 17, the team headquarters of the Second Battalion of the Japanese Army’s National Guard on the South Manchuria Railway.  The lights inside the brigade headquarters are brightly lit, and the captain of the second brigade, Masaichi Shimamoto, is answering the phone with a solemn expression.  The call came from the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun. The callers were not Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, but Honjo Shige, the new Kwantung Army commander who had served as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser and was very familiar with the situation in Northeast China.  On the other end of the phone, Shigeru Honjo was sitting at his desk, holding the microphone and asked in a serious tone: {Shimamoto-kun, how is the situation over there now?  } {Return to the commander of the commander, our department is undergoing a military exercise of the railway patrolling along the railway in accordance with the plan that was formulated in advance.  } Shimamoto Masaichi replied sincerely.  {There was no conflict with the Chinese team, right?  }Honjo Shige asked.  It turns out that although Honjo Shigeru knew that Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others were plotting to control the Northeast by force, he only knew that this was the case. Honjo Shigeru was not very clear about how to implement it and the progress.  That’s why he made a leapfrog call to Masaichi Shimamoto of the 2nd ** Defense Battalion closest to Beida Camp, in an attempt to learn about the latest developments of the situation.  {Not yet.  } On the other end of the phone, Masaichi Shimamoto answered truthfully.  In fact, Shimamoto Masaichi didn't know when he would conflict with the Chinese army and launch an attack, because he was still waiting for orders.  And this order did not come from Honjo Shige, but from Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro who were rushing to the Fengtian front line.     {oh.  }Honjo Shige hung up the phone.  At the same time, on the railway from Lushun to Fengtian, a train full of Japanese troops was rumbling and speeding towards Shenyang.  In a luxurious box in a car in the middle of the train.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji both wore brand-new military uniforms. They sat opposite each other at a small table. In front of them was a combat map of the three eastern provinces. On the map, there were dangerous mountains and rivers and all major transportation routes.  Detailed labelling.  If there are any generals of the Northeast Army here, they will definitely be surprised. The battle map in front of Ishihara Wanji and the others is actually more detailed than the one in the hands of the Northeast Army themselves.  Staring at the battle map, Ishihara smiled and took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, raised his head and asked: {Itagaki-kun, have you thought about how to implement it specifically?  }    {Um.  } Seishiro Itagaki, who had been staring at the map and frowning in thought, raised his head when he heard this, nodded, and then pointed at the map and said: {Ishihara-kun, please take a look, after careful consideration, I decided that in addition to ** the second defense team's attack, look for gaps to attack.  Peking University Camp, the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Division enteredTo attack Fengtian, we should also order other troops to act at the same time. First, the Third Battalion of the National Defense Force near Yingkou and the Fourth Battalion of the National Defense Force near Phoenix City should launch attacks on Yingkou, Phoenix City, and Anton at the same time.  Make sure that the towns along the South Manchuria Railway are occupied by our army to facilitate the next stage of operations.  In addition, the main force of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Division should rush to Fengtian immediately to reinforce the 29th Infantry Regiment's attack on Fengtian.  The main force of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment directly under the division and the 1st Battalion of the ** garrison should attack Changchun, Erdaogouzi, Nanling and other places at the same time!  } After listening to Itagaki Seishiro's battle plan, Ishihara Wanji nodded with great satisfaction: {Itagaki-kun is indeed an outstanding soldier of the empire, and this battle plan is perfect.  } {Since Ishihara does not oppose, let's report the combat plan to the commander of Benzhuang.  After all, mobilizing other units of the Second Division still requires orders from the Kwantung Army headquarters.  } Itagaki Seishiro said.  {Okay, but one more thing should be added. In order to cope with the unpredictable situation and quickly and stably occupy the Northeast, General Honjo Shige should be asked to quickly request the base camp to send additional reinforcements. At least the North Korean 20th Division must cross the Yalu River as soon as possible.  } A hint of cunning and gloomy flashed through Ishihara's narrow eyes.  …………………………………… In the team of the Kanto Kanto of the South Manchurian Railway, after the call with the commander of the commander Ben, the captain Island's mood began to become impatient.  Because the order has not arrived, Shimamoto is anxious at this moment like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the team headquarters.  Suddenly, a communications soldier ran in with a hurried look, saluted and reported: {Your Majesty, Major, Commander Itagaki has an urgent call.  }    {oh?  Bring it quickly.  }Masaichi Shimamoto stopped and immediately reached out to take the message from the communication soldier. He read it hastily. Masaichi Shimamoto's face began to turn red with excitement. He folded the message in his hand and said to the communication soldier with great excitement.  He ordered: {Go and notify Lieutenant Kawashima to come see me immediately, hurry up!  }????????????????????? {Hay!  }The communication soldier quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left after being ordered.  After a while, Lieutenant Kawashima, leader of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Battalion, walked into the headquarters with his command knife in hand and his head held high.  {Your Excellency, Captain, what are your instructions?  } Lieutenant Kawashima stood at attention and saluted.  {Kawashima-kun, you immediately return to Hushitai Barracks, take your troops south along the railway and advance near Liutiao Lake. At ten o'clock tomorrow night, you must find a way to blow up a section of the railway and blame it on the Chinese soldiers in Beida Camp.  , and then you immediately lead your troops to launch an assault on the North Camp, and I will send other squadrons to support you in time.  }Shimamoto Shoichi ordered according to the orders and instructions in Itagaki Seishiro's telegram.  {Hay!  } Lieutenant Kawashima's eyes clearly shone with excitement when he heard this. This day is finally coming. As an imperial soldier, he never thinks about attacking the weak and despicable Chinese army, breaking the Beida camp, and capturing Fengtian City.  There are countless gold and silver treasures, guns and ammunition, and many beautiful flower girls.  With beautiful longings and fantasies, Lieutenant Kawashima happily accepted the order and left.  ………………………………………… while the Japanese army was secretly mobilized, and the North Battalion 3 camp was on the camp.  The lights in Zhang Xinghan’s bedroom were still on. In the bedroom, Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the table, writing something on a piece of paper.  In the fortifications of the camp’s defense area, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who had already entered the first level of alert, had increased their vigilance. They patrolled in groups, stood guard, and had both bright and dark sentries everywhere. They were ready for all battles.  The whole night was speechless, time passed, and soon it was dawn. Zhang Xinghan, who had stayed up all night, sorted his writing into three parts with red eyes, and then shouted to the door: {Serviceman!  } {Camp, the service soldiers have not got up yet.  }The voice of communications soldier Xiao Lizi came from outside.     {Come in.  }Zhang Xinghan said.  { Camp seat, what’s going on?  }Xiao Lizi walked in quickly and asked.  Zhang Xinghan took out two of the three written things and said to Xiao Lizi: {Xiao Lizi, these are two family letters I wrote to my fiancée Wang Ruoying and my father Zhang Yuxi. Send them back to Fengtian immediately.  Leave it to them.  }    {yes!  } Xiao Lizi happily agreed, put away the family letter, and was about to leave.  Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute."  }????{Xiao Lizi, I seem to remember you saying that you are the only son of your family, right?  }Zhang Xinghan asked.  {Yes, in fact, our family has been passed down through three generations since my grandfather’s generation.  }Xiao Lizi has no doubt that he told the truth.     {Um.  }Zhang Xinghan nodded with a calm expression and said: {Let’s do this. After you deliver the letter home, you can stay at my house. Don’tBack to Peking University Camp.  }?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Camp seat} Xiao Lizi looked at Zhang Xinghan with confusion. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Xinghan raising his hand: {Don't say any more, follow the order.  }    {yes!  }Little Plum immediately stood up and saluted, turned around and strode away.  Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, on the evening of September 18th, the day left and night fell. The entire Peking University Camp was suddenly brightly lit. The officers and soldiers in the camp began to finish training, change guards, and have dinner as usual.  .  In the barracks of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment, Zhang Xinghan has been sleeping since he sent away Xiao Lizi in the morning. He has not slept all night. He is very tired and needs to catch up on his sleep to replenish his energy to face the fierce battle that follows.  When night fell, Zhang Xinghan woke up and was eating in the bedroom. Since he went to sleep at noon, Zhang Xinghan's meal was equivalent to two usual meals.  After having a full meal, Zhang Xinghan picked up the helmet, put it on, and strode out of the bedroom.  Outside the barracks, except for the necessary sentries, most of the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were having dinner. When they saw Zhang Xinghan coming out, the officers and soldiers stood up and saluted.  {Everyone has eaten, hurry up and eat.  } Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand, and then said to the deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo who came up to him: {Jianguo, take a platoon and come out with me.  }    {yes!  }Liu Jianguo didn't ask any more questions, but stood upright and accepted the order happily.  ……………………………… Let’s talk about Xiao Lizi. He went to Fengtian City to deliver a letter home from Zhang Xinghan’s order. Originally, Xiao Lizi planned to deliver Zhang Xinghan’s letter home to his fiancée Wang Ruoying first, and then go to Fengtian City to deliver the letter home to his wife who lives in the east of the small city.  Father Zhang sent it.  If everything goes well, Xiao Lizi will be able to complete this mission by noon.  But he never thought that when Xiao Lizi rushed all the way to Wang Ruoying's house, he was informed by the guard that Wang Ruoying had gone to attend a banquet somewhere in the city with his father Wang Yizhe.  In desperation, Xiao Lizi had to go to the east of the city first. However, when Xiao Lizi found the Zhang family residence according to the address, he found that the door was closed. It turned out that Zhang Yuxi and his wife had gone to the banquet together with Wang Yizhe and his daughter.  As a result, Xiao Lizi couldn't find anyone on either side, so he had to sit and wait outside the gate of Zhang's house until dark.  It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Yuxi and his wife returned by car.  Xiao Lizi, who had been waiting at the door for almost a day, quickly stepped forward to stop the car and shouted anxiously: {Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhang Yuxi?  }    {it's me.  }Zhang Yu, who was sitting in the car, was delighted to see Xiao Lizi wearing a military uniform and asked doubtfully: {Who are you?  }????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I am the communication soldier of the 3rd Battalion, 620th Regiment, 620th Regiment, **7th Brigade, I am here to send you a letter home.  } Xiao Lizi said as he took out two family letters from his pocket and handed one of them to Zhang Yuxi.  Zhang Yuxi took the letter from home and did not immediately remove the card. Instead, she said to Xiao Lizi: {You have been waiting here for a day. You should be tired. Go inside and have some food.  } Little Plum was indeed hungry and thirsty, so she nodded quickly: {Hey!  } ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Liutiaohu section of the South-Manchuria Railway, more than 800 meters away from Beidaying, a Japanese second lieutenant and a dozen Japanese soldiers dragged three corpses wearing Northeastern Army uniforms  , sneaking to the railway line in the Willow Lake section.  Three corpses wearing Northeastern Army uniforms were placed on both sides of the railway line, and then the second lieutenant pressed the detonation device that had been installed.  {Boom!  boom!  }Two loud noises sounded in vain. The fire caused by the explosion in the dark night was as bright as fireworks, and the loud noise could be clearly heard ten miles away.  In the dazzling fire, a section of railway track and sleepers were blown into the sky, and debris and debris flew freely.  In an open space about two kilometers away from the explosion site, Lieutenant Kawashima, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the extremely eye-catching fire rising in the sky in the dark night. He was very excited. He immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted: {Despicable  The Chinese people dared to blow up our railway. We will never forgive them. Target, Beidaying, kill them!  } More than a hundred Japanese soldiers immediately jumped up and rushed toward the North Camp with rifles in hand.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter Seven: Long Waiting

    The night was as dark as ink, and outside the Beida Camp, I couldn't see my fingers.  On the Nanman-Manchurian Railway, about 700 to 800 meters away from Beidaying, Lieutenant Kawashima finally arrived with the main force of the squadron and met with a dozen Japanese from the Willow Lake Task Force who were responsible for sabotaging the railway.  {Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, we have completed the task as arranged, what should we do now?  }The Japanese second lieutenant of the task force came up and asked Lieutenant Kawashima.  {Immediately launch a surprise attack on Beidaying and capture Beidaying!  } Lieutenant Kawashima said with a serious expression.  {Attack Beidaying?  But sir, most of the ammunition we carry are blank ammunition specially used for exercises?  And we only have one squadron.  }The Japanese second lieutenant was obviously a little surprised and looked at Lieutenant Kawashima in astonishment.  It turns out that in order to prevent intelligence leakage, Kawashima only announced to the soldiers that they were going to conduct an exercise when leaving the barracks, so the soldiers carried blank ammunition specifically for the exercise.  Moreover, even the Japanese second lieutenant responsible for blowing up the railway only believed that the purpose of blowing up the railway was to create friction and blame it on the squadron in order to achieve some political or diplomatic purpose.  The Beida Battalion, which had tens of thousands of Chinese Northeastern troops, launched an attack.  {Yes, attack Beida Camp!  Fujimori-kun, have you forgotten that the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible? Without bullets, we can still defeat the weak and incompetent China people with bayonets!  Moreover, our reinforcements will arrive soon!  } Lieutenant Kawashima reprimanded Second Lieutenant Fujimori sternly.  Then he waved his command sword in the direction of Beidaying: {Attack!  !  !  }????????????????????? {Hay!  }The Japanese soldiers, including Fujimori, bowed their heads in response, and immediately carrying Sanba Gaigai with bayonets in their hands, they rushed toward the North Camp like a tide.  Soon, under the cover of the dark night, Lieutenant Kawashima led more than 150 Japanese troops from the 3rd Squadron and entered the south gate of Beida Camp, which was the grove in front of the vegetable field outside Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion defense area.  middle.  In the small woods, Lieutenant Kawashima ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing, and he took out his binoculars and looked forward. In the dark night, the lights of Beida Camp had already been turned off, and Lieutenant Kawashima saw pitch black.  But just in case, Lieutenant Kawashima still observed with his telescope for a while, making sure that all the Northeastern troops in the Beida Camp were asleep.  Lieutenant Kawashima waved his sword and led more than 150 of his subordinates to rush out of the woods. They wanted to quickly approach the wall of Beida Camp, rush into the camp, and launch a sneak attack with lightning speed to attack the camp.  The Northeastern Army was caught off guard.  However, when Lieutenant Kawashima and more than a hundred imperial warriors under his command, full of lofty ambitions, lofty sentiments, and no hesitation, they just rushed into the cabbage field cultivated by the 3rd Battalion outside the woods.  An accident happened.  {Boom!  boom!  boom!  } Several explosions sounded in vain, and a dazzling scarlet fire suddenly appeared. Lieutenant Kawashima and six or seven Japanese soldiers who rushed at the front were immediately blown to pieces and fell into a pool of blood.  The remaining Japanese soldiers were frightened by the sudden change and immediately stopped advancing. In panic, Second Lieutenant Fujimori, the leader of the first team, and several subordinates quickly stepped forward to lift Lieutenant Kawashima, who was beaten to a bloody pulp, and then evacuated.  Retreating to the woods, Second Lieutenant Fujimori shouted with a sad expression: {Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, are you okay?  } At this time, Lieutenant Kawashima was hit in the abdomen and crotch by the debris generated by the explosion. Dark red blood could not stop pouring out from the wound. The whole person was already dying and on his deathbed.  {Teng, Teng Shou-kun, the Chinese people are extremely cunning, you, you must help me take revenge and kill all the hateful Chinese people.  } Lieutenant Kawashima said in a difficult and broken tone.  "Hai, I can do it, I will definitely do it."  } Seeing the life of the commander he had been with day and night hanging in the balance, Second Lieutenant Fujimori was heartbroken and choked up and nodded repeatedly.  {But, unfortunately, I can no longer see the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji and the blooming cherry blossoms} Lieutenant Kawashima muttered to himself with a distracted look. Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head.  Just die.  Lieutenant Fujimori placed Lieutenant Kawashima's body on the ground, picked up the lieutenant's command sword from Lieutenant Kawashima's hand, stood up with a solemn expression, and raised the sword vigorously: { Warriors of the Empire, avenge your Excellency the squadron leader,  Kill Gaga!  } {Kill!  }The more than 140 Japanese soldiers who were also grieving immediately roared, picked up their rifles and charged forward again, completely ignoring the possibility of minefields ahead.  At the same time, in the Peking University Camp, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade of each regiment and battalion who had been resting were awakened by the explosion just now, and the sentries sounded the alarm one after another.  In the headquarters of the 7th Brigade, Zhao Zhenfan, the only Chief of Staff of the 7th Brigade who stayed at Beida Camp, was awakened. After asking about the situation and learning that there was a Japanese attack, he went straight to the communications company without getting dressed.  &nbsp"Since Wang Yizhe attended the banquet with his daughter during the day and did not return home until after ten o'clock in the evening after the banquet, he was not at Beida Camp at this time, but at home in Fengtian City.  Therefore, Zhao Zhenfan directly called Rong Zhen, who was then the Chief of Staff of the Lieutenant General's Office of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Just like in history, Chief of Staff Rong received an urgent call from Zhao Zhenfan.  After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Zhenfan: {The young marshal has made arrangements earlier. If the Japanese army provokes a provocation, in order to avoid the situation from escalating and triggering a war, the bullets will be stored in the warehouse to avoid conflict with them.  } Zhao Zhenfan on the other end of the phone was very anxious after hearing this and asked: {Sir Rong, what if the Japanese capture Beida Camp?  Are the nearly 10,000 elite soldiers of our seventh brigade going to be captured without mercy and become prisoners of the enemy?  }??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Rong Zhen pondered for a moment, and then continued:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? { You immediately send an order to the troops. If the Japanese army attacks, the troops will evacuate Beida Camp and retreat to Dongshanzuizi to stand by.  I will report the situation to the young commander immediately, that's all.  } After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhenfan was so angry that he punched the table next to the phone, {Damn, you are so fucking useless!  Why!  } While Zhao Zhenfan was arranging his troops to prepare for retreat as ordered, the 3rd Battalion defense area was on the battlefield.  After suffering nearly half of their casualties, the Japanese army led by Second Lieutenant Fujimori finally rushed through the cabbage field full of mines and grenades, and rushed to the trench outside the south gate of Beida Camp.  Since the South Gate Suspension Bridge had already been retracted, the Japanese army had to cross the trench if they wanted to rush into Beida Camp. The trench was three meters wide and one meter deep. Although there was no water in it, the three-meter-long trench did not carry a load of dozens of kilograms.  Japanese soldiers with short legs could jump over it.  Just when Second Lieutenant Fujimori ordered the troops to find a way to pass through with red eyes, hundreds of Northeastern Army soldiers suddenly stood up on the originally silent wall. The muzzles of hundreds of light and heavy weapons were all aimed at Second Lieutenant Fujimori and his soldiers.  subordinates.  {Little Japan, I have been waiting for a long time!  }On the wall about two meters high, Zhang Xinghan held a Hanyang-made weapon and shouted loudly: {Fire!  } After saying that, he took the lead in pulling the trigger. The Hanyang-made rifle in his hand suddenly made a crisp sound, and a 7.92 rifle bullet roared out of the muzzle like a small meteor and went straight to a Japanese soldier outside the trench.  {Pfft!  }The bullet accurately hit the target, and a fluffy mass of blood burst out from the Japs head, and then he fell down.  Before Zhang Xinghan's gunfire fell, hundreds of other officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion also opened fire. Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot at the south gate of Beidaying. Amidst the dense rain of bullets, the remaining sixty or seventy Japanese had no time to fight back.  They were knocked to the ground one after another.  Zhang Xinghan led the third battalion to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese army at the south gate of Beida Camp, while other troops in the camp were frightened. After receiving the retreat order from Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan, the 619th Regiment and the 621st Regiment began to evacuate first.  Due to the resistance of the 3rd Battalion of Zhang Xinghan at the south gate, the Japanese army failed to rush into the Beida Camp as historically, so Zhao Zhenfan's order to retreat was successfully conveyed to Wang Tiehan, the leader of the 620th Regiment, after receiving the order to retreat.  Wang Tiehan didn't know what to do. After learning that Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion was at war with the Japanese army, he sent a messenger to inform Zhang Xinghan and his 3rd Battalion to continue blocking the attack to cover the evacuation of the main force. After that, he took the regiment headquarters and the troops directly under him.  left.  While evacuating, Wang Tiehan thought of Zhang Xinghan bringing deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo to the regiment headquarters during the day, and he was extremely frightened.  ????………………………… The war broke out in Beidaying, and at the same time as the guns were fired, inside the Zhang family’s residence at the east gate of Fengtian City.  Zhang Yuxi and his wife Liu Liping got out of the car and walked into the living room of their home with Xiao Lizi, who was delivering the message for Zhang Xinghan. After entering the hall, Zhang Yuxi asked his wife to order the servants to prepare meals for Xiao Lizi, and at the same time asked Xiao Lizi to sit down.  After sitting down, Zhang Yuxi opened Zhang Xinghan’s family letter and asked with a smile while opening it: {Xiao Lizi, where is your hometown?  } {Return to Master Zhang, the humbler is from Tieling.  }Xiao Lizi quickly answered respectfully.  At this time, Zhang Yuxi, who had already opened the letter from home, was shocked by the content of the letter. The content of the letter from home was as follows: "Father, mother, when you read this letter from home, your son may have already gotten into trouble with the enemy. Japan  The people are determined to invade our three eastern provinces for more than a day or two. This can be seen from the time when they killed the commander Zhang Zuolin.  I remember that when I was young in Xinghan, my father and mother often taught me that I should study hard and serve the country and do something great when I grow up.  “Nowadays, the Japanese invaders are spying on our territory, plotting to start a war, and trying to occupy our three rich eastern provinces by force. As a national soldier, I should lead my soldiers to fight back and defend Fengtian and the Northeast.  However, bullets have no eyes, and life and death in battle are unpredictable. Unfortunately, Ru'er died in the battle., I hope the two elders will not be sad, because my son is fighting for the country and the nation, and he will be honored even if he dies!  "The only regret is that the two elders have raised Xinghan for many years, but Xinghan failed to repay him, let alone fulfill his filial piety for the two elders and support him until his death."  Fortunately, I still have a younger brother, Xinghua, who is young and smart, has a kind-hearted character, and respects and loves his two elders. If Xinghan unfortunately dies in battle, he will definitely be able to fulfill his filial piety for his son. In this way, my son will have no worries and can go all out to fight against the national calamity.  Be loyal to your country! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT  If your son is defeated and dies for his country, his father and mother should leave Fengtian as soon as possible and evacuate to the pass with the retreating troops. As for Little Lizi, his father can take him with him when he evacuates Fengtian. The pass is dangerous and unpredictable, and one more guard will mean more safety.  A guarantee.  Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. I hope my parents will forgive me. The unfilial son prospered in Han Dynasty and cried to his parents. It was the evening of September 17, 20th year of the Republic of China.  After Zhang Yuxi finished reading this tearful letter from home, she sat on the chair as if frozen, her hands began to tremble, and the letter from home fell to the ground.

    At this time, Zhang's mother Liu Liping walked in. Seeing her husband's face pale and family letters scattered at his feet, she hurried over and asked eagerly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"  } {Master reads the book of our camp.  }Xiao Lizi on the side also looked anxious.  Liu Liping hurriedly picked up the letter from home on the ground and hurriedly read the contents on the letter. Two lines of clear tears had already slipped down her cheeks that had obvious traces of time.  Liu Liping suppressed her grief and said to Zhang Yuxi with sobs: {Master, what should we do?  Are you just going to sit back and watch Xinghan die in battle?  } With that said, Liu Liping finally couldn't help but burst into tears, {My son, why are you so stupid.  } Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuxi, who had been silent and pale, suddenly stood up, looked at the starry night sky outside the hall, and said coldly but firmly: {No, Xinghan is not stupid, he is loyal!  } Stepping out of the living room and into the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, Zhang Yuxi said in a proud voice: {Xinghan is right, as soldiers and Chinese men, it is their duty and duty to defend the country and prevent humiliation.  My Zhang family will be happy and proud to have such descendants.  } Liu Liping did not speak, but kept sobbing softly. As a mother, although she hoped that her son would be safe, she had been influenced by a good family education since she was a child, and she still understood the righteousness, so she could only endure it at this moment.  Sad and praying that Zhang Xinghan can escape safely and return home in triumph.  At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly came from the distance. The sudden explosion woke up the sleeping citizens of Fengtian. It also heralded the Japanese 2nd Division, 2nd Brigade, 29th Infantry Regiment's attack on Fengtian City.  The attack begins.  However, most of the people in Fengtian are kept in the dark about all this, and they only dare to hide at home and dare not go out.  After the explosion lasted for about ten minutes, the Japanese infantry outside the city, which had been preparing for a long time, began to launch a formal attack on Fengtian City. For a moment, there were shouts of killing outside Fengtian City, and the sound of gunfire and gunfire resounded throughout the night sky.  A small number of garrison troops and a large number of military policemen in Fengtian City hurriedly boarded the city to resist, and a bloody battle began.  ???…………………………………… At the same time, Wang Yizhe was in his mansion.  When Wang Yizhe and Queen Ruoying returned to their residence, they learned about the Japanese attack on Beida Camp, and then heard intensive gunfire and shouts of killing coming from outside Fengtian City.  After asking about the situation, Wang Yizhe immediately decided to take Wang Ruoying and evacuate Fengtian, so he began to order Wang Ruoying and the servants in the house to pack their things and prepare to leave.  {Dad, the Japanese are coming in, why don't you command the troops to resist?  And what about choosing to retreat?  }In Wang Yizhe's study, Wang Ruoying asked Wang Yizhe who was packing things very puzzledly.  {Didn’t I say that this is an order from the top? As a soldier, I have no choice but to obey the order.  }Wang Yizhe explained.  {That also depends on what kind of order it is. Dad, have you ever thought about it? Once we retreat, the entire Fengtian and the entire Northeast may fall into the hands of the Japanese. In that case, wouldn’t our Northeast soldiers become homeless dogs?  }Wang Ruoying pouted dissatisfiedly.  {Nonsense, how do you know that Northeast China will fall into the hands of the Japanese? We are just temporarily retreating to avoid conflicts. The government and the young marshal will naturally come forward to negotiate with the Japanese.  }Wang Yizhe shouted.  {Hum, negotiation?  The Japanese have already reached Fengtian City. Is negotiation useful?  The young marshal is being cowardly. To put it bluntly, he is a coward. He has hundreds of thousands of troops and doesn't want to expand his territory. Now that the Japanese have provoked a war, he actually wants his troops to retreat. Even the marshal fought hard to defeat them.  I want to abandon my foundation and ignore it. Isn’t this a coward? What is this?  }Wang Ruoying snorted disdainfully.  {Shut up, what do you, a girl, know?  }Wang Yizhe was very jealous of Zhang Xueliang and immediately reprimanded Wang Ruoying.  Wang Ruoying turned her head and was very angry. She thought of Zhang Xinghan again, so she held back her anger and asked: "Dad, where is Xinghan?"  Will there be any danger?  }???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Chief of Staff Rong has already ordered Zhao Zhenfan to lead the troops to evacuate. Our troops from the Beida Battalion should have retreated at this moment, and Zhang Xinghan will not be in any danger.  }Wang Yizhe thought for a while and said.     {oh.  }Wang Ruoying nodded and then said: {Dad, let’s go to the east of the city later and take Uncle Zhang and Auntie to evacuate together?  They are safer with your guards.  } {You stinky girl, before the man marrys, he has a heart to her in -laws, hum.  }Wang Yizhe pretended to be angry.  {Dad!  If you don't take them with you, I won't leave either.  }Wang Ruoying muttered angrily and stamped her feet.  {Okay, okay, take them with you. Zhang Yuxi and I are close friends. Even if you don’t tell me, I will take them with you. Look at you, you are in such a hurry, you are really not a good girl!  }Wang Yizhe smiled bitterly and shook his head.  ……??……………………………………………… When the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment launched a massive attack on Fengtian City Defense under the cover of artillery, the battle at Beida Camp was temporarily over.  In the Peking University Camp, all three regiments of the **7th Brigade and the troops directly under the brigade headquarters have all withdrawn, except for Zhang Xinghan’s 3rd Battalion.  Next to the trench outside the south gate of Beida Camp, Japanese corpses were lying everywhere. After nearly ten minutes of fierce fighting, this completely one-sided massacre outside the south gate of Beida Camp finally came to an end.  Due to their superior strength and commanding position, and the fact that most of the Japanese troops carried blank ammunition specially used for exercises, in this small-scale battle, Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion completely annihilated the invading Japanese Kawashima Squadron without any casualties.  , won the first battle.  After wiping out the Kawashima Squadron, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the first company commander to take a company of officers and soldiers out to clean up the battlefield, and brought 150 Type 38 rifles with bayonets, several box pistols, twelve crooked machine guns and twelve  All the grenade launchers were seized.  The Japanese army carried blank ammunition. These weapons did not play their due role and power in their hands. But in the hands of Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion, they could immediately become murderous weapons, especially the twelve crooked light machine guns.  and twelve grenadiers, which greatly strengthened the light firepower of the third battalion.  Just as Zhang Xinghan’s 3rd Battalion finished cleaning the battlefield and sent out engineers to continue re-burying mines and setting up booby traps in vegetable fields and even woods.  Shimamoto Masaichi, captain of the Second Battalion of the Japanese South-Manchuria Railway Garrison, personally led the main force of the brigade (the 1st, 2nd, 4th Squadron and the brigade headquarters), a total of more than 450 people, and rushed to the North Camp in a mighty manner.  Come.  As soon as Shimamoto Shoichi led his troops to the area of ??Liutiao Lake, he received the shocking news from the scouts. His advance unit, the Kawashima Squadron, was completely wiped out, and the gate of the North Camp was not even breached.  They were completely wiped out by the defenders of the Northeastern Army of Beida Camp in the open space outside the camp.  After receiving this news, Shimamoto was furious and cursed the Chinese defenders for being despicable. He ordered the troops to immediately launch another attack on the North Camp to avenge the officers and soldiers of the Kawashima Squadron. At the same time, he quickly sent this information to the emergency telegram.  It was sent to Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji who were on their way to Fengtian.  On the train, Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara were drinking tea, looking anxious. Not long ago, they had just received news from the 29th Infantry Regiment Captain Yukihiro Hirata, and learned that the attack on Fengtian City had begun.  While Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji were waiting anxiously, a communications lieutenant walked in.  He stood up to salute the two men, and said with a sad face: {Sir, Major Shimamoto Masaichi, captain of the 2nd Battalion of the Railway Guard, sent an urgent message. His unit, the Kawashima Squadron, the vanguard of the attack on the Beida Camp, is attacking.  During the battle at Beida Camp, they encountered a minefield prepared by the Northeast Army defenders and suffered heavy losses. Later, they were heavily ambushed by the enemy. In the end, they were outnumbered and the entire army was annihilated outside the south gate of Beida Camp.  }    {What?  }Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji stood up suddenly in shock, and accidentally dropped the tea cups in their hands.     {How can this be?  }Itagaki Seishiro's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the communications lieutenant and then turned to Ishihara Wanji.  Ishihara frowned, thought for a while, and said: {Itagaki-kun, maybe the Northeast Army has prepared in advance.  } {Then what should we do?  }Itagaki Seishiro asked anxiously.  Ishihara Wanji did not answer, but turned to the communications lieutenant and asked: {Did all the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army of Beida Camp participate in the battle?  }?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is a humble job.  }The communications staff officer lowered his head in shame.  {If the Chinese are prepared, then now that Fengtian City is in danger, Zhang Xueliang will definitely order the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Beida Camp to reinforce Fengtian. We must not let them succeed.  }Ishihara Wan paused and continued: {Itagaki-kun, we immediately notify the Shimamoto Brigade and order him to contain the Chinese defenders of the Beida Camp no matter what, and they must not be allowed to deploy troops to reinforce Fengtian, as the 29th Infantry  The coalition captured Fengtian City to gain time.  }????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Shimamoto brigade has lost an infantry squadron now, and the strength is less than 500. Can they contain an enemy that is ten or even twenty times their strength?  } Itagaki Seishiro said worriedly.  {More than 400 reinforcements from the Fushun garrison can arrive at Fengtian in two hours. With the strength of the Shimamoto brigade, it is not a problem to use the cover of darkness to contain the Chinese for two hours.  As long as we can hold back the Northeastern Army's mobile force in Beida Camp, victory will belong to us.  } Ishihara smiled and said confidently.  Itagaki Seishiro nodded and waved his hand towards the communications lieutenant, indicating that he would follow the order.  After the communications lieutenant bowed his head and left, Itagaki Seishiro was still uneasy. He always felt an ominous premonition, but when he saw Ishihara Wanji sitting calmly on the Diaoyutai, so he didn’t say it.  ……………………………… After receiving the telegram from Seishiro Itagaki, Shimamoto Shoichi strengthened his determination and immediately ordered the artillery to build an artillery position two kilometers away. Not long after, the four-door nine-gun attached to the Shimamoto Battalion  The artillery position for the Type II infantry artillery was completed.  Originally, according to the normal personnel configuration of the Japanese army, in addition to three infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron and the brigade headquarters, a standard infantry brigade also had an artillery squad equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons and several mortars.  But in order to strengthen the offensive strength of the Shimamoto Brigade, before the attack, the Shimamoto Brigade was equipped with two additional Type 92 infantry cannons.  Four Type 92 infantry cannons were lined up in a row, and following an order from an artillery lieutenant, they began to fire one after another.  {Boom, boom, boom!  }The muffled sound of four artillery shells being ejected was heard one after another, and the four shells roared into the sky with scarlet tail flames, turning into arcs in the sky, and slammed towards the Beidaying defense fortifications.  The fire contained by the four shells in the dark night was extremely dazzling. Since the Japanese army had conducted detailed reconnaissance and survey of Beida Camp beforehand, the Japanese artillerymen already knew the coordinates of the shooting targets.  Therefore, in the first round of shelling, the Japanese army accurately hit the target. Almost all four shells fell on the camp fortifications of Beida Camp, erupting with deafening explosions and soaring flames.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 9: Victory in the First Battle (Part 2)

    In the bunker behind the fortifications of the 3rd Battalion of Peking University, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo spat out dust-covered spit. Looking at the wall fortifications in front of him that had been bombarded by shelling, he couldn't help but said: "Damn, the camp is really wise. I expected it earlier."  When the kid knows how to bombard, haha, now the kid’s shells all f**ked up.  } It turned out that after annihilating the Kawashima Squadron that was the first to invade, Zhang Xinghan expected that the Japanese army would probably use artillery fire in the ensuing battle, so he ordered that except for a few sentries to stay on the wall fortifications to continue their vigilance, the rest of the officers and soldiers would retreat.  Evacuated to the air defense bunker built in the camp.  These air defense bunkers were built when the 7th Brigade was stationed in Beidaying in order to guard against possible Japanese attacks. They were so strong that they could withstand even the bombing of aircraft, let alone the bombardment of the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery.  What's more, Shimamoto Masaichi's artillery bombarded all targets on the two-meter-high wall fortifications of Beida Camp.  The Japanese artillery fire was raging, and the defensive walls of Beida Camp became devastated in the explosions and fires. Unfortunately, some sentries who stayed on the walls were killed by the raging shrapnel and fell in a pool of blood.  On the playground in the center of Beida Camp, Zhang Xinghan and dozens of his subordinates were loading shells for the six imitation Krupp 75MM mountain guns that had just been rolled out from the 3rd Battalion ammunition depot, and calibrating the shooting points and directions.  In order to ensure that this artillery strike was effective and kill the Japanese artillery troops outside the camp, Zhang Xinghan, a former A-class special forces soldier, personally took control and calibrated the firing elements of each Krupp Mountain Cannon according to the ballistics of the Japanese artillery shells to lock in the exact target position.  About ten minutes later, the Japanese bombardment had just stopped, and Zhang Xinghan finally calibrated the six elements of the Krupp artillery to fire.  At this time, the Japanese troops charging and shouting outside the camp had already resounded through the night sky. At Zhang Xinghan’s signal, dozens of artillerymen and ammunition handlers were in place, and everything was ready.  Zhang Xinghan stared at the wall fortifications in front of him where the fire had not completely dissipated. Hearing the Japanese soldiers’ shouts of killing coming from outside Beida Camp, he waved his hand expressionlessly: {Fire!  }?{Boom!  }A Krupp 75MM mountain cannon not far from Zhang Xinghan took the lead in firing, and then the other five mountain cannons also followed suit: {Boom, boom, boom} Several ear-splitting blasts sounded one after another.  In the dark night, six artillery shells trailed long tail flames like meteors, piercing the dark night sky and falling in a parabola shape towards the Japanese artillery position two kilometers away.  When six fireballs flew through the night sky above their heads at almost the same time, the charging Japanese officers and soldiers were shocked. However, none of them dared to stop with their lives at stake. Instead, under the leadership of officers at all levels, they continued towards the grove ahead.  Rush away.  {Boom, boom, boom} When the Japanese offensive troops rushed into the woods, they immediately triggered the landmines and various booby traps that the 3rd Battalion had recently laid.  Although the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion set up in a hurry, the Japanese soldiers who were eager to charge in the dark night could not find that after pouring into the woods, the dozens of Japanese who rushed at the front were killed.  At the same time as the mines and booby traps exploded in the woods, the first round of artillery fire from the 3rd Battalion hit the ground and exploded.  Nearly all the six artillery shells hit the target. The Japanese artillerymen who had just finished firing and were loading artillery shells and preparing to provide artillery support to the attacking troops at any time had no time to escape.  He could only watch six fireballs falling around him. When the artillery shells of the 3rd Battalion exploded, they also detonated the remaining Japanese artillery shells. In an instant, the entire artillery position exploded with an unprecedented explosion.  In the dark night, a huge fire shot up into the sky, as bright as fireworks. In the fire, dozens of Japanese artillerymen were blasted into the sky together with four Type 92 infantry cannons. When they landed, the Japanese artillerymen turned into broken limbs.  The arms and the four Type 92 infantry guns were turned into a pile of scrap metal, with various parts scattered everywhere.  This scene was all seen by Masaichi Shimamoto, who was not far from the artillery position and was supervising and commanding the troops to charge. Looking at the artillery position that was already in flames, Shimamoto Masaichi's rat eyes opened with difficulty:  {Thishow is this possible?  }??????????????? Bagaya Road?  Didn't the scouts report that the main force of the Northeastern Army in Beida Camp had withdrawn?  So how come they have such powerful artillery?  }In rage, Shimamoto jumped three feet high one by one and roared.  The adjutants and guards nearby lowered their heads one after another, not daring to take a breath.  Compared with these, what shocked Shimamoto Masaichi even more was that the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army artillery in the Beida Camp was so powerful?  In the dark night, they can accurately locate their own artillery positions based on their own ballistics?  And it was so accurate that it hit the target with one hit?  This, how is this possible?  Shimamoto Masaichi, who was born in a regular military school, was shocked. How could the artillery quality of the Northeast Army be so excellent?  Of course Shimamoto wanted to break his headI don’t understand. As the most outstanding A-class special forces soldier in the 1970s and 1980s, Zhang Xinghan was proficient in operating various artillery pieces. For Zhang Xinghan, even the most advanced artillery pieces in the 1970s and 1980s.  Lots of experience.  The extremely simple Krupp Mountain Cannon is of course not a problem.  However, what made Shimamoto Shoichi vomit blood was yet to come. Just when he ordered the guards to search and rescue the artillery with all their strength, a messenger ran back from the front in a panic.  {Report, captain, no good, our offensive troops encountered a minefield in the woods ahead and suffered heavy casualties.  }The messenger soldier quickly stood at attention and reported hurriedly.     {What?  }Masaichi Shimamoto, who was already on the verge of going berserk, opened his eyes angrily, and immediately burst out howling like a slaughtering pig: {Thunderfield, another minefield, Bagaya Road, the Chinese people in Beida camp are cunning and shameless.  Big drop!  Didn't Kawashima Squadron encounter a minefield in the cabbage patch in front of the grove?  Why are there minefields in the woods?  } Shimamoto Masaichi was going crazy. First, the entire Kawashima Squadron was wiped out, and then the only four Type 92 infantry cannons he had used to attack the enemy were fired by a barrage of cold guns from the Beida Camp.  Now the attacking troops encountered another minefield in the woods, resulting in heavy casualties.  Didn’t the intelligence before the attack show that Chiang Kai-shek’s Nanjing government and Zhang Xueliang, the actual leader of the Northeastern Army, had already made up their minds not to resist?  Why is it that the Northeastern Army in Beida Camp seems to have predicted its own actions in advance and is so well prepared?  I have lost nearly two squadrons of troops so far, and I haven't even broken through the wall of Beida Camp.  The most important thing is that the big killer in his hand, the four powerful Type 92 infantry cannons, have also been destroyed. You must know that it is night, the aviation force cannot take off to come for reinforcements, and the reinforcements cannot arrive in a short time.  The artillery was lost and there was a minefield ahead.  Thinking of this, Shimamoto Masaichi felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.  The adjutant on the side analyzed: {Major, the Chinese minefield must have been completely destroyed by the Kawashima Squadron, so in order to block our attack, they temporarily set up a new minefield in the grove.  } The adjutant’s words inadvertently reminded Shimamoto Shoichi, who was very angry.  {If this is the case, then as long as we break through the woods, we can launch an attack on Beida Camp?  }Masa Shimamoto said brightly with a glance.  {Well, even if the Chinese set up minefields outside the grove, the density will not be too high. Because time does not allow, we can use mortars and grenades to bombard first, so that the threat of the minefield can be eliminated directly.  Launched an attack on Beida Camp.  }The adjutant nodded and analyzed.     {well!  }Shimamoto Shoichi nodded happily, as if he had regained his confidence, and ordered the messenger: {Order the troops to immediately use mortars and grenade launchers to bombard the grove and the cabbage field in front of the grove, and sweep out China.  After that, they attacked Beida Camp with all their strength.  } In Masaichi Shimamoto’s view, as long as his troops can invade the Beida Camp, with their strong morale and superb stabbing skills, it will not be a problem to defeat the weak Chinese defenders.  “Moreover, Shimamoto Shoichi still has military life. The task given to him by Itagaki Seishiro is to pin down the Chinese defenders of Beida Camp and never allow them to divide their troops to reinforce Fengtian City.  Based on the current situation, Shimamoto Masaichi can only complete the task assigned to him by Itagaki Seishiro if he attacks.  As for dividing the troops for siege, it's not that Shimamoto Masaichi didn't think of it, but Shimamoto Masaichi didn't dare. He only has less than 500 troops in total. This small number of troops needs to be divided into several directions, that is, lighting lanterns in the toilets——  Seeking death.  In the Beida camp, after completing the bombardment, Zhang Xinghan looked at the visible fire in the distance that had not dissipated for a long time, with a proud sneer at the corner of his mouth.  Immediately ordered the troops to return to the wall fortifications to prepare for the final battle. At the same time, the artillery was ordered to start shooting at Zhu Yuan, aiming the muzzles in the direction of the small woods outside the camp.  On the wall fortifications, under the leadership of Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion took their positions one after another, and light and heavy machine guns were re-erected.  The riflemen also pointed their muzzles forward one after another, while the bombardiers unscrewed the back covers of the grenades one by one to expose the leads, and placed them side by side on the wall, ready for battle.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 10: Victory in the First Battle (Part 2)

    {Boom!  Boom!  }On the wall fortifications at the south gate of Beida Camp, Zhang Xinghan and a communications soldier crouched and quickly came to the side of Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo.  Listening to the explosions coming from the front, Liu Jianguo pointed to the dazzling red light that kept rising and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Look at the camp, the Japanese are shelling the groves and cabbage fields."  }????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This is what I've been waiting for.  }Zhang Xinghan nodded calmly, took out a pack of cigarettes produced by the Northeast Cigarette Factory from his pocket, handed one to Liu Jianguo, and took another one for himself.  He took out a match and lit the cigarette, and handed the unburned match to Liu Jianguo. Zhang Xinghan took a long puff of the cigarette and felt the spicy smoke billowing in his lungs. Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.  It is to enjoy this intoxicating feeling.  The two of them were lying on the fortifications, smoking cigarettes, and enjoying the Japanese artillery fire ahead as if they were watching a drama. Originally, due to the rush of time, the engineers of the 3rd Battalion were not able to lay too many mines and booby traps in the woods.  It was even sparse in the cabbage field.  But this also achieved the effect Zhang Xinghan expected. Just as Zhang Xinghan expected, when Shimamoto Masaichi learned that the troops suffered heavy losses in the minefield in the grove, in view of the lessons learned from the Kawashima Squadron, Shimamoto Masaichi did not dare to continue.  Let the men risk the charge, but use mortar grenades to bombard the grove indiscriminately to achieve their purpose of clearing the minefield.  In this way, Zhang Xinghan calculated the approximate location of the Japanese attacking troops by observing the ballistic trajectories of Japanese mortars and grenade launchers.  First of all, as a Japanese Taisho 11-year-old 50mm grenade, its effective range is only 175 meters, less than 200 meters. Even if it bombards huge targets like woods, it can shoot without distinction. Calculated according to their maximum range,  They are no more than four hundred meters away from the grove.  When the Japanese infantry troops charged, the grenade launchers accompanied the front-line troops in the charge.  From this, it can be inferred that the Japanese offensive troops will not be too far from the location where the grenade was launched, and may even be right together.  After making the decision, Zhang Xinghan immediately turned to the communications soldier and said: {Inform the artillery to carry out indiscriminate shelling five hundred meters south of the target grove. Don't be stingy with shells. All remaining shells must be fired within ten minutes.  }    {yes!  }The communications soldier happily accepted the order, turned around and ran quickly down the wall, disappearing under the night sky of Beida Camp.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan's order was implemented. After receiving the order, the artillerymen quickly adjusted their target positions and began to fire.  Six Krupp 75MM mountain cannons opened fire almost at the same time. The shells were wrapped in scarlet fire balls and landed within a range of 500 meters south of the grove.  As Zhang Xinghan guessed, the Japanese grenadiers and mortar artillerymen were almost crowded together and pouring shells towards the grove and the cabbage field to the north of the grove.  Their infantry was waiting in formation not far behind the artillery. Therefore, when six artillery shells flew towards them with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, the Japanese infantry and artillerymen suddenly screamed in fear and scattered in succession.  .  However, how could the flying speed of the shells be comparable to the speed of their escape? Before they could disperse, six shells fell and exploded simultaneously within a radius of less than a hundred meters.  {Boom, boom, boom!  } Amidst the violent explosions, dazzling flames shot up into the sky, and countless shrapnel scattered wildly. The Japanese infantry and gunners who had nowhere to hide suddenly fell to the ground.  Soon, the second round of artillery bombardment by the Northeastern Army came as scheduled. The people who had been bombed were turned upside down. The heavy casualties of the Japanese army undoubtedly made it worse.  In this way, during the ten-minute bombardment, Shimamoto Masaichi's remaining three squadrons and their grenadier gunners were killed and wounded more than half of them. The open space south of the grove was a mess, with fire and pungent smell.  The smoke of gunpowder and the miserable howls of wounded Japanese soldiers intertwined into a Shura scene.  Shimamoto Shoichi, who was less than a mile away from the explosion site, crawled out from behind a mound under the protection of his guards. He was so shocked by the violent shelling by the Northeastern Army just now that he was pulled into hiding by his guards in panic.  Behind the mound.  When he saw that less than half of his hundreds of subordinates could stand after the Northeastern Army's bombardment, Shimamoto felt a cold feeling from the soles of his feet to his whole body, and he was stunned in place.  At this moment, the suspension bridge outside the south gate of Beidaying was lowered.  On the wall, Zhang Xinghan wore a steel helmet, clicked a sharp bayonet on the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand, and shouted sternly: {Bayonette!  } More than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion followed suit. For a time, there were bayonets on the wall. The 700 officers and soldiers looked solemnly and cast their eyes on Zhang Xinghan. A chilling atmosphere immediately spread.  Zhang Xinghan will hand overThe Hanyang-made rifle with a bayonet was raised high above his head and roared: {Attack!  !  !  } {Go!  Little Japan that destroyed dog days!  } Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo followed closely and shouted loudly.  {Go!  Kill!  } More than 700 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion shouted like thunder, and rushed down the wall like a tide, rushed across the suspension bridge, and rushed towards the grove.  Zhang Xinghan and deputy battalion commander Liu Jianguo rushed to the front with a group of top soldiers, feeling that nearly a thousand Northeastern men behind them followed them and launched a charge against the once arrogant and arrogant Japanese army without hesitation.  Zhang Xinghan's heart suddenly surged with pride. Tonight is destined to be the time when the Northeast Army becomes famous. The titles of coward and coward will forever say goodbye to the group of passionate men behind him.  In fact, countless soldiers from the Northeast are just like them. They are all decent men, and they are all brave men who dare to fight the enemy in bloody battles. However, no one leads them to complete the heroic feat of dying on the battlefield and being shrouded in horse leather.  However, tonight, the more than 700 soldiers of the Third Battalion belonging to the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army are different. Since joining the army, they have never fought such a battle to relieve their anger like today. They killed an entire Japanese army with zero casualties.  squadron.  All this is due to their commander, battalion commander, Zhang Xinghan. Now Zhang Xinghan took the lead and led them out of the Peking Camp and launched an incredible counterattack against the Japanese army.  For the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who had been reluctant to make concessions to the Japanese for many years, this was simply too damn enjoyable. At this moment, their admiration for Zhang Xinghan reached an unprecedented height.  Looking at Zhang Xinghan's charging back, at this moment, they felt that something still sleeping in their bodies was awakened, and their blood boiled. At this moment, they were truly fearless, without fear of life or death.  {Kill!  }The blood in Zhang Xinghan's body was boiling and burning crazily as he was immersed in the situation, and the blood that had been dormant for a long time burst out without reservation at this moment.  Under the roar, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo took the lead and rushed out of the grove, rushing towards the panicked remnants of the Japanese army that suffered heavy casualties.  An unlucky Japanese soldier met Zhang Xinghan head-on. He roared angrily and jumped up to kick him in the chest. A cracking sound of broken bones was heard. The unlucky Japanese soldier was immediately kicked out by Zhang Xinghan.  Without caring about his life or death, Zhang Xinghan kept rushing forward. An injured Japanese second lieutenant looked at Zhang Xinghan who was rushing towards him in horror. When he got close, he hurriedly raised his knife to slash at him, trying to force him back quickly.  Zhang Xinghan rushed over.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghan did not dodge or dodge, nor did he stop. The Hanyang rifle in his hand was like a stick and he swung it head-on.     {bump!  }Zhang Xinghan's rifle collided with the Japanese second lieutenant's saber without any fancy.  The Japanese second lieutenant was injured and was unable to defeat Zhang Xinghan. His saber was knocked out by Zhang Xinghan. The middle door opened wide, and Zhang Xinghan took advantage of the situation and thrust out the rifle in his hand.  {Pfft!  }The root of the sharp bayonet was completely gone, and the sharp tip penetrated directly into the body of the Japanese second lieutenant with bright red blood. The Japanese second lieutenant's eyes widened, and he lowered his head to look at the bayonet that had passed through his chest with a face full of reluctance, and mouthed.  He wanted to say something, but after a few grunts, only bright red blood surged out.  Zhang Xinghan pulled the rifle back with an expressionless expression. A burst of pungent blood suddenly splashed on his face, and the body of the Japanese second lieutenant fell forward unwillingly and fell to the ground.  With blood on his face, Zhang Xinghan waved his rifle forward: {Kill!  Leave no one behind!  } The more than 700 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who had rushed up immediately shouted in response, drowning the remaining Japanese like a tide, and a bloody massacre began immediately.  ????????????…………………………………………………… The victory of the Beida Camp was imminent. When Zhang Xinghan led his troops to kill the enemy in blood, Fengtian City was also in flames with guns and cannons firing.  Thousands of Japanese soldiers from the 29th Infantry Regiment outside the city launched violent attacks against Fengtian City again and again under the command of the commander Yukihiro Hirata.  On the top of the city, General Huang Xiansheng, currently the director of the Liaoning Provincial Security Department and the chief of the Fengtian Police Department, personally led the Fengtian Police Corps, the city defense troops staying in Shenyang, and the Zhang Xueliang Guards staying at the Marshal's Mansion, and were desperately resisting.  Bullets shuttled back and forth over Fengtian City, explosions sounded from time to time, and the battle once entered a fierce stage.  {Director, the enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and our brothers have suffered heavy casualties. What should we do?  }A fierce battle was going on at the top of the city. Deputy Director Wang Yicai fired at the city while anxiously asking General Huang Xiansheng.  {Damn you, what else can you do?  Behind us is Fengtian City, the Shenyang Arsenal, and the hundreds of thousands of Shenyang folks. Here’s the order, whoever dares to retreat will be punished on the spot!  } Huang Xiansheng shouted angrily. ?  {yes!  }Wang Yicai paused and then said: {But, Director, I heard that the 7th Brigade stationed at Beida Camp has retreated to Dongshanzuizi, and Beida Camp may have been captured by the Japanese army.  } Huang Xiansheng's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face. Huang Xiansheng naturally knew the news that the young marshal ordered no resistance, but as a Chinese soldier, he really couldn't sit back and watch Fengtian City be captured by the Japanese army. He really couldn't bear the huge Northeast.  A piece of land was handed over to the Japanese.  After a moment's hesitation, Huang Xiansheng snarled again: "Damn you, don't talk nonsense. I can't control others. I only know that if the little devil wants to step into Shenyang City, he must step on my corpse, Huang Xiansheng."  past!  }    {yes!  I swear to live and die together with my humble duty and devotion to heaven!  }Wang Yicai's face shuddered, he turned around and roared at his subordinates: {Hit me hard!  } PS: If there are no surprises, there should be two updates today. The collection will exceed 300, and there are still a few left. Please support me by collecting more.  In addition, thanks to the brothers of the Teacher's East Brothers for many evaluation votes for support, Qiu Feng thank you!  Finally, please vote for recommendation!  !  !

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 11: Rushing to the Aid of Fengtian

    The fierce battle in Fengtian City is in full swing, and the battle of the 3rd Battalion led by Zhang Xinghan in Beida Camp has come to an end.  In the dark night, hundreds of Northeastern officers and soldiers holding torches surrounded Shimamoto Masaichi and his last few guards.  Outside the encirclement, more Northeastern officers and soldiers were quickly cleaning the battlefield in accordance with the order, taking the opportunity to see if there were any wounded Japanese soldiers who had not yet expired. Once found, they were all killed. The red-eyed soldiers of the 3rd Battalion stabbed them to death with bayonets.  Within the encirclement, Zhang Xinghan suddenly inserted the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand into the ground. The bloody bayonet was almost submerged into the ground, and the gun body was trembling.  With an expressionless expression, he took off the helmet on his head, smoothed his sleeves, and with his bare hands, he raised his middle finger at Masaru Shimamoto who was in the encirclement, and said with a look of contempt: {Little devil, come on, you are not going to challenge me in a one-on-one fight.  ?  bring it on.  }?Masaichi Shimamoto, who had just clamored for a decisive battle with the commander of the Northeastern Army in front of him, couldn't help but become furious when he saw Zhang Xinghan being so trusting and contemptuous of himself.  Immediately he roared angrily and rushed towards Zhang Xinghan with knives in both hands.  The reason why Shimamoto Shoichi proposed a one-on-one duel with the commander of the 3rd Battalion when he was surrounded by soldiers of the 3rd Battalion was for no other reason than that Shimamoto Shoichi wanted to see who he was before he died.  Who can completely annihilate his second ** defense brigade.  When he saw that his opponent was so young, he was in a state of extreme shock and daze. Then he heard Zhang Xinghan's extremely contemptuous and provocative words. For a moment, shame, shame and anger all flooded into Shimamoto Shoichi's mind. At this moment, he wanted to kill him with a knife.  Zhang Xinghan chopped it to vent his hatred.  However, Shimamoto Masaichi was disappointed.  When he rushed to Zhang Xinghan with a knife and slashed hard at the top of Zhang Xinghan's head with the knife, he saw Zhang Xinghan ducking sideways at an incredible speed. At that moment, Shimamoto had no time to retreat and defend.  Zhang Xinghan punched Shimamoto Masaichi under the ribs. The huge explosive force immediately knocked Shimamoto Masaichi backwards. A heartbreaking pain came from the hit area under the ribs, which made him grit his teeth.  Zhang Xinghan was unyielding, and before Shimamoto could react, he quickly bullied him, raised his huge fist and aimed a series of fast punches at Shimamoto Masaichi's face.  He fainted from the beating, staggered unsteadily, and kept retreating, almost falling down.  Zhang Xinghan took three steps to run, and suddenly let out a loud roar. He spun and jumped up, and whipped his leg with huge inertia, {Pop!  }Hit Shimamoto Masaichi hard on the right side of his face.  The huge force immediately knocked Shimamoto Masaichi to the ground, and his whole body began to twitch. Zhang Xinghan showed no mercy. He jumped up again and hit Shimamoto Masaichi's neck hard with his right elbow.  Directly smash his Adam's apple.  Shimamoto Masaichi’s head lifted up as a reaction, and then quickly fell down. Blood soon flowed from the corner of his mouth.  After Zhang Xinghan killed Shimamoto Shoichi, he stood up and waved to the remaining Japanese guards: {Come on, Sun Tzu, don’t you believe in Bushido?  Aren't you afraid of death?  Grandpa teaches you what fighting is, come here!  } Several Japanese guards looked at each other, then roared at the same time, waving swords and rifles and charging towards Zhang Xinghan.  At this moment, several gunshots suddenly rang out. Liu Jianguo, who was in charge of the brigade cleaning the battlefield, held a mirror box and fired repeatedly, killing several Japanese.  {Bingzuo, it’s not good. I just received news that the Japanese army is besieging Fengtian City. General Huang Xiansheng, director of the Liaoning Provincial Police Department and chief of the Fengtian City Police Department, is now leading the city defense troops, Fengtian Police Corps and students from the Northeast Lecture Hall.  Bloody resistance, the situation is extremely critical.  }Liu Jianguo put away his gun and hurriedly reported to Zhang Xinghan, who looked puzzled.  Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled. He was so jealous just now that he almost missed the important event. After pondering for a while, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered Liu Jianguo: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, take your people back to Beida Camp immediately and take the rest of the troops in the camp."  All the military vehicles came out, loaded all the firearms we captured and took them away, and we rushed to help Fengtian.  }???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We only have 700 people in the camp. The main forces of other friendly forces have withdrawn to Dongshan Zuizi. Can our battalion alone break the siege of Fengtian?  }Liu Jianguo said with some worry.  {Whether we can successfully rescue the siege or not, we must go to Fengtian City, because in the city not only are the savings of our Northeastern Army for many years, but also the close relatives of you and me, including many brothers. If we don't go, Fengtian City will be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people will be killed.  The people may suffer disaster in an instant. As soldiers, even if we know that we are going to die, we must go. Even if we die, we must coexist and die with Fengtian City!  Execute the order!  }    {yes!  }Liu Jianguo agreed with a bang and quickly took the order and left.  ……………………………………………………… A recessed area two kilometers outside Fengtian CityIn the middle of the day, an unknown number of Japanese troops placed tight security here. In the middle of the depression was a command post built with a simple wooden shed.  The captain of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Yukihiro Hirata, stood in front of the battle map with a pale face and frowned.  Outside the command post, you can vaguely hear the sound of gunfire, explosions and the shouts of soldiers from both sides coming from the battlefield ahead.  {Your Excellency, Commander, the attack of the Third Battalion has failed again.  }A Japanese staff officer walked into the command post with a somewhat disappointed look and reported to Yukihiro Hirata.  {Baga, it’s been almost two hours, and we still haven’t been able to break into Fengtian City. This is an insult to the great reputation of our Second Division!  } Yukihiro Hirata finally spoke, and said coldly with an extremely dissatisfied tone.  {This is all Huang Xiansheng, a hateful Chinese, who openly defied Zhang Xueliang’s order of non-resistance and organized and armed thousands of military police in the city and even the guards Zhang Xueliang left behind at the Commander’s Mansion as well as the students at the Northeast Martial Arts Hall.  It is precisely because of the desperate resistance of these people that our attacks have repeatedly failed.  }The Japanese staff officer said with a grimace.  {Asshole, this Huang Xiansheng dares to go against the Japanese Empire. After breaking the city, I will kill this man with a thousand swords.  } Hirata Yukihiro roared angrily after hearing this.  {Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it is late at night, the night is dark, and our artillery and aircraft are unable to take advantage of it. I suggest that we use special bombs to attack Fengtian immediately in order to capture Fengtian City as soon as possible.  }The Japanese staff officer suggested with a gloomy look.     {Um?  Special ammunition?  } Yukihiro Hirata was slightly startled, pondered for a moment, nodded happily and said: {Yo Xi, that’s it.  } {Hay, I will arrange it immediately.  }The Japanese staff officer happily accepted the order, turned around and quickly left the command post.  ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Thank you, great god, for your reward and support.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 12: Rescue from Fengtian (Part 1)

    It was early in the morning. In the past, Fengtian City should have been completely quiet at this time, and the people in the city were in deep sleep. But today, the peace of the past was completely broken by the Japanese artillery fire and gunfire.  The people in every household in the city were in chaos, and people dragging their children and daughters could be seen everywhere preparing to flee the city.  In the dark night, people dragging their families and carrying suitcases and cupboards crowded and trampled on each other. Since the military police and city defense forces were resisting with all their strength and no one was there to guide them, the entire Fengtian City was in chaos.  Therefore, General Wang Yizhe, commander of the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, who had been preparing to retreat from the beginning of the battle, and his daughter Wang Ruoying and several accompanying guards took more than two hours to rush out of the city center.  Go to the Zhang family residence located in the east of the city.  After entering the house, Wang Ruoying hurriedly took Liu Liping's hand and urged: {Aunt, hurry up, pack your things and follow us.  } But he didn't notice that there were still tears on Liu Liping's cheeks, and her expression was a little sad.  Wang Yizhe even called the approaching Zhang Yuxi by his nickname and said: "Brother Xizi, you and your sister-in-law, take Xinruan and follow me out of the city. The Japanese are attacking Beida Camp and Fengtian City. Our defenders have been ordered to retreat. This Fengtian  The city cannot stay any longer.  } Zhang Yuxi looked at his best friend, smiled bitterly, and remained indifferent.     {What's wrong?  elder brother?  }Wang Yizhe realized something was wrong and looked at Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping at the side with confusion.  Wang Ruoying also noticed something unusual, because she found that Liu Liping's hands seemed to be trembling slightly. She was shocked and asked quickly: {Auntie, what's wrong with you?  What happened?  }?{Brother Dingfang, Ruoying, you all come in.  }Zhang Yuxi greeted Wang Yizhe and his daughter into the hall with a bitter look on his face. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hall.  The Wang father and daughter looked at each other in confusion, and immediately Wang Yizhe followed Zhang Yuxi towards the hall. Wang Ruoying also pulled Liu Liping and followed her into the hall while comforting her softly.  After entering the hall and sitting down, Wang Yizhe couldn't wait to ask: {Brother Xizi, what happened?  } {Dingfang, this is related to Ruoying.  }Zhang Yuxi said this, glanced at Wang Ruoying who was standing next to Liu Liping, and continued: {At the beginning of the Japanese attack on Beida Camp, Xinghan sent people back two letters from home, one for me and his mother.  , one portion belongs to Ruoying.  }?{Xing Han?  Our Beida camp garrison has been ordered to retreat. Shouldn't he retreat to Dongshanzuizi now?  }Wang Yizhe asked unclearly.  Zhang Yuxi smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying nothing.  {Uncle, where is the letter home from Xinghan?  }Although Wang Ruoying had an ominous premonition in her heart, she still asked immediately.  Zhang Yuxi picked up an opened family letter from the table next to her and said to Wang Ruoying: {Ruoying, originally, this family letter was given to you by Xinghan. Logically speaking, we shouldn't read it, buthey  , anyway, uncle hopes you can understand me as a father.  } After Zhang Yuxi finished speaking, tears shone in her cloudy eyes and her voice choked with sobs.  Wang Yizhe and Wang Ruoying discovered that it turned out that both Zhang and his wife's eyes were red, which was obviously caused by excessive sadness. They might have cried bitterly just now.  Wang Ruoying hurriedly stepped forward, took the family letter from Zhang Yuxi, and said comfortingly: {Uncle, Ruoying will never blame you.  } {Good boy, he is not blessed by Xinghan.  }Zhang Yuxi choked with regret.  Wang Ruoying's heart trembled, and she carefully opened the letter from home. The familiar handwriting caught Wang Ruoying's eyes, but the content made Wang Ruoying feel like she was struck by lightning, and she stood stunned on the spot.  {My wife Ruoying Qishu, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we are like sweethearts. My father and Uncle Wang have been close friends for eight years. They have made a marriage contract for us since we were young. If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely get married and spend this life together.  , this is what I dream of.  "If you are as beautiful and beautiful as a fairy, with a cheerful personality, well-educated and sensible, and have been in the heart of the Han Dynasty for a long time, I always sigh to myself, if I can marry you, I will have no regrets in this life."  "However, things are unpredictable. Today, the invaders brazenly provoked trouble and launched a sudden attack on the North Camp where our troops are stationed. As a soldier of the country, I shoulder the responsibility of defense and should rise up and resist. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Swordsmen have no eyesight, and fighting is the same, and life and death in the future are unpredictable. To avoid unforeseen circumstances, I hereby tell you that if I unfortunately die in battle and die for my country, Ruoying should never think of me. You can find another good relationship, and don’t make mistakes.  "If I am lucky enough to survive, on the day when the Japanese invaders are driven out, I will marry you in a big sedan chair, and we will join hands with you for the rest of our lives, and we will never leave you."  ??Fu Xinghan, the evening of September 17, the 20th year of the Republic of China.  After reading Zhang Xinghan’s letter home, which was like a letter of divorce and last words, Wang Ruoying almost burst into tears and her delicate body couldn’t help trembling.  Zhang Yuxi said with a sad face: {Ruoying, you are a good girl. If Xinghan can marry you, it will be his great fortune. However, now that the country is facing a national crisis, Xinghan?As a soldier, he cannot sit idly by and ignore it. He does this because he doesn't want to implicate you.  }    {What's the matter?  }Wang Yizhe on the side saw his daughter burst into tears suddenly. He quickly stood up and grabbed the family letter. After a quick look, he was stunned on the spot. Zhang Xinghan didn't retreat?  Wang Ruoying took a few deep breaths and resisted tears from flowing out. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Yuxi who was sitting in the first place and said: {Uncle, although Ruoying is a woman, she also knows loyalty. Since ancient times, the country is greater than the family. If the Han Dynasty is truly prosperous,  Unfortunately, Ruoying sacrificed her life for the country. Ruoying is willing to remain a widow for him for the rest of her life, because in this life, I, Wang Ruoying, am a member of the Zhang family and die as a ghost of the Zhang family. In this life, I will not marry unless I am a prosperous man.  } Wang Yizhe looked up at his daughter in surprise, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't.  " On the contrary, Zhang's mother Liu Liping stood up with a moved face and took Wang Ruoying into her arms: "Good girl, Xinghan is very lucky to have a fiancée like you.  } {Aunt!  }Leaning in her mother-in-law's arms, Wang Ruoying couldn't bear it anymore, her suppressed sadness suddenly burst out, and she burst into tears.  Liu Liping was also extremely sad. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried. The scene was very sad.  After crying for a while, Wang Ruoying suddenly raised her head and turned to Wang Yizhe and said: "Dad, we are not leaving, and we are not going anywhere. We are in Fengtian City, and Xinghan is still fighting bloody battles on the front line. We can't just abandon him like this. We can't."  Let him fight alone.  } Wang Yizhe nodded dullly and said nothing.  ???………………… Dongshanzuizi, the temporary residence of the 7th Brigade, the headquarters of the 620th Regiment.  Wang Tiehan was pacing back and forth anxiously inside the regiment headquarters. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the regiment headquarters.  Wang Tiehan hurriedly turned around and saw Zhao Zhenfan, the brigade chief of staff, walking in in a hurry.  {Take a seat!  }Wang Tiehan quickly saluted and greeted him.  After Zhao Zhenfan returned the gift, he asked: {How is it, your 3rd Battalion hasn’t come back yet?  } Wang Tiehan shook his head sadly.  {The reconnaissance company directly under the brigade headquarters reported that half an hour ago, violent explosions and shelling came from the direction of Beida Camp. It seems that the 3rd Battalion may} Zhao Zhenfan did not finish his words, but the meaning was already clear.  {At the beginning of the war, Zhang Xinghan, commander of the 3rd Battalion, came to the regiment headquarters to find me and asked for several Krupp mountain guns directly under my regiment headquarters. It seemed that they had a fierce artillery battle with the Japanese.  }Wang Tiehan said with a sad face.  {Zhang Xinghan?  Is this Zhang Yuxi, the son of Duke Zhang?  Our wealthy and wealthy fiancé Zhang Xinghan?  }Zhao Zhenfan was slightly surprised: {Did you give him all the cannons?  } Wang Tiehan nodded and said: {That’s him.  } Zhao Zhenfan was relieved immediately. With this relationship, Wang Tiehan had to give him the mountain cannon even if he didn't want to give it.  {How about I send the cavalry company directly under the brigade headquarters to visit Beida Camp to see if we can get them out.  } Thinking that Zhang Xinghan was the future son-in-law of brigade commander Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan said.  {This is very good, thank you for joining me.  }Wang Tiehan cupped his fists and thanked him. Although he knew that Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion might have all died for the country. After all, the gunfire from the Beida Battalion had stopped for almost half an hour, but he still didn't want to give up because there was a glimmer of hope.  Not only because Zhang Xinghan is the future son-in-law of brigade commander Wang Yizhe, but also because Zhang Xinghan is his subordinate. The friendship of comrades over the years has made their relationship more than just a commander and subordinate. From the heart, they are brothers.  , is Paoze.  {Hey, we are all brothers, why are you so polite? I just don’t know what the situation is like now.  } Zhao Zhenfan waved his hand and said with a worried look.  {The hotel is located in Fengtian City. Fengtian City is currently guarded by the Provincial Police Chief Huang Xiansheng and his troops. The hotel should have enough time to evacuate.  }Wang Tiehan said.  {Damn it, I feel useless just thinking about it. We, the regular army, turned out to be deserters. The huge city of Fengtian can only be defended by a few thousand military police. We are ashamed of the people of Fengtian and the 30 million people in the Northeast.  ah.  }Zhao Zhenfan said with an annoyed look.     {Why!  The young marshal didn't know what he was thinking. Should he just give up on Shenyang and the three eastern provinces?  Can the commander see clearly under Jiuquan?  }Wang Tiehan also sighed in annoyance.  ………………………………………… Beida Camp is less than six kilometers away from Fengtian City. Zhang Xinghan handed over six Krupp 75 mountain guns and the captured guns and ammunition to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo and led the team to move slowly.  , he personally led the main force of the 3rd Battalion on a rapid march, and in less than half an hour, they arrived outside the north of Shenyang City.  The Japanese attack was mainly carried out in the south of the city. In view of this, after Zhang Xinghan led his troops to the north of the city, they did not enter the city, but took advantage of the cover of night to detour towards the south of the city.

    The night was dark, and in a recessed area about two kilometers away from the south gate of Fengtian City, the headquarters of the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment was brightly lit, in stark contrast to the dark night.  Within one kilometer of the headquarters, many Japanese soldiers were conducting security patrols, and within four to five hundred meters, there were both light and dark sentries on various traffic arteries.  The entire command post can be said to be tightly guarded and impeccable.  In the pitch-black night, with no one visible, a group of more than 500 Japanese troops took advantage of the cover of darkness to come from the wasteland outside the north gate of Fengtian City, bypassing the east gate and heading straight for the south gate.  When they were about to arrive at the south gate, a Japanese major in the lead immediately waved his hand to signal the troops to stop advancing, turned his head and whispered behind him: {First Company Commander.  }Speaking clearly in Chinese.  {Camp seat!  }A middle-aged officer wearing a lieutenant's uniform, with a tall build and thick arms, walked quickly to the leading Japanese major.  {First company commander, you and two hundred brothers will follow up and be ready to support our retreat at any time. I will lead three hundred brothers to sneak into the vicinity of the Japanese headquarters and launch a surprise attack, trying to take over the Japanese headquarters in one go. Do you understand?  } Zhang Xinghan, wearing a major military uniform, whispered to First Company Commander Liu Guodong.  {yes!  Humble position understands.  }Liu Guodong lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, and then continued to touch forward with Sanbai Jian'er.  Due to the layers of defense on the outside, Yukihiro Hirata's headquarters was still brightly lit in the dark, without any worries at all.  And in this dark night, it happened to provide a guiding light for Zhang Xinghan's sneak attack.  With the lights of the Japanese military headquarters as a target, Zhang Xinghan's sneak attack troops quickly approached the two-kilometer range. At this time, Zhang Xinghan had already ordered his troops to form a column and marched in the direction of the Japanese military headquarters in a swaggering manner.  After walking about tens of meters, they encountered a Japanese patrol of twelve people. The leader of the Japanese army captain held a rifle and yelled in a loud Japanese voice: "Who are they?"  }{We are the second brigade of the South Manchuria Railway Garrison. Our unit has captured the Peking Camp, and we have been specifically ordered to come to reinforce your unit.  }The leader, Zhang Xinghan, responded in proficient Japanese.  {oh?  slogan?  }The Japanese army commander led by him was obviously very vigilant.  {Baga, our **Second Garrison Brigade is under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Commander and you are an independent entity. How did we know your night code in such a hurry?  } Saying that, Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and slapped the corps commander hard, hitting the Japanese corps commander with stars in his eyes and pain on his cheeks.  {Hai, this is my humble duty, sir, please forgive me!  }The Japanese army commander was almost beaten into a pig's head, but he still quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. At this moment, the strict hierarchy within the Japanese army was fully demonstrated.  {Well, thinking of you can be regarded as fulfilling my duty, so I don’t blame you.  } Zhang Xinghan took out a cigarette and handed one to the Japanese army commander. While smoking, he asked intentionally or unintentionally: {Hey, by the way, what is your password?  In order to prevent me from encountering such trouble later, the war ahead is urgent, and I have to quickly and boldly report to Commander Hirata, but I don't want to be delayed like this again.  }{The password is, valor endures forever, long live the emperor!  }The Japanese army commander replied without thinking while smoking a cigarette.  {Thanks.  }Zhang Xinghan nodded, threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, and waved his hand to the subordinates behind him: {Open the way!  }………………………………At the top of Fengtian City, the defenders had just repelled another fierce attack by the Japanese army. At this moment, the smoke of gunpowder had not dispersed and the firelight was still there.  Behind a wall, General Huang Xiansheng, the current police chief of Liaoning Province, accompanied by Wang Yicai, deputy director of Fengtian Police Department, was smoking a cigarette with his back against the wall.  While swallowing the clouds and puffing up the mist, Huang Xiansheng suddenly turned to Wang Yicai with interest and said: {By the way, Yicai, I remember you haven't gotten married yet, right?  }{Reporting to the director, it is true that I have not yet married.  }Wang Yicai replied without thinking.  {oh?  That means you haven’t even tasted what it’s like to be a woman?  } Huang Xiansheng looked at Wang Yicai's young face and suddenly felt a little scared.  Wang Yicai scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed twice awkwardly as an admission.  {Hey, actually, there are more than tens of millions of Paoze brothers your size. Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just talk about Fengtian City today. Among our thousands of brothers, most of them are in the same Mood for Love as you, young ones.  It's heartbreaking.  } Huang Xiansheng said with emotion.  {Virgo, please don’t say that. As a soldier, these are what we should do. As you said, today, as the Japanese soldiers are attacking Fengtian City, we, as soldiers, cannot leave behind all the fellow citizens in the city.  , your stomach is running for your life, right?  }Wang Yicai said, but the scene where he and Zhang Xinghan had gatherings and drank together appeared in his mind. Brother Xinghan, how are you doing now?  Have you evacuated safely?  Listening to Wang Yicai's heartfelt words, Huang Xiansheng smiled bitterly with both relief and helplessness, and immediately began to smoke alone without speaking.  The night was dark, and from time to time the painful groans of injured soldiers would be heard on the city top, and the sound of some officers and soldiers smoking. The burning cigarette butts from time to time were so eye-catching in the dark night.  Suddenly, a soldier ran up from the city, quickly came to Huang Xiansheng, and reported in a low voice: {Virgin, hundreds of people have come to the city with hot meals, saying they want to comfort the brothers who fought bloody battles.  Let them come up?  }{To comfort the army?  } Huang Xiansheng raised his eyelids, pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said: {Let them come up, bring a group of brothers, and help them pick up food to go to the city.  }{yes!  }The soldiers readily agreed, stood up quickly, and rushed down to the city to receive the order.  Not long after, a group of young men and women rushed to the top of the city to eat pots of food. A leading young man, led by the guards, approached Huang Xiansheng and saluted: "General Huang, we are students from Northeastern University. We know that you are leading the soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders."  We have been fighting for a long time, and we are hungry and thirsty. We specially brought a large amount of hot meals and drinks to work for the army!  } {Okay, on behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to express my gratitude to all you classmates at Northeastern University.  } Huang Xiansheng stood up and saluted in return: {Thank you for your hard work.  }{Compared with you fighting the Japanese invaders and defending Fengtian City to the death, our hard work is nothing.  }The young man said humbly.  PS: I went to do some work today and came back late, so the number of words is a little short. Tomorrow I will officially sprint to the home page to sign the new book list. Please vote for it and support it. There will be at least two updates tomorrow!  !  !

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 14: Rescue from Fengtian (Part 2)

    {俅俅俅!  }Suddenly, a sharp and piercing whistling sound suddenly resounded. On top of Fengtian City, Huang Xiansheng, who was comforting and encouraging his subordinates and thanking the Northeastern University students who came to work for the army, heard this sound and suddenly turned around in shock.  ?????????????????????????????????: A piercing scream of fireballs pierced the dark night sky like meteors, flying quickly towards our own city defenses.  Many students froze in place when they saw this, forgetting to evade. In fact, they had never been on the battlefield and did not know how to evade and hide.  When Huang Xiansheng saw this, he immediately became anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs: {Everyone lie down!  quick!  } As soon as he finished speaking, the artillery shells almost whizzed over, and there was a violent explosion. In the dazzling firelight, the entire city seemed to be shaking violently.  Fortunately, when the Japanese artillery shells were about to fall, most of the soldiers on the top of the city quickly knocked down the male and female students around them and blocked them with their bodies from the airflow and shrapnel generated by the explosion.  For this reason, many soldiers were hit by stray bullets and bled immediately.  Most of the young students who were rescued were frightened by the sudden change. Amidst the deafening explosions, their eyes were blurred. They didn't even seem to know that the soldiers who rescued them were injured and bleeding, and they fell into confusion.  {Guard platoon!  }Huang Xiansheng saw that the situation was urgent, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: {Send these students to a safe place immediately, quickly!  }    {yes!  }A second lieutenant platoon leader stood up in response and led dozens of soldiers to cover the young students as they descended from the city.  At this time, the student representative who had previously spoken to Huang Xiansheng finally realized what he was doing. He broke away from the guards' support and shouted to Huang Xiansheng: "General Huang, we won't leave. Please let us stay. We will fight side by side with you."  , kill the enemy and serve the country!  } {Nonsense!  You are all still students, come back to me. We soldiers eat food and fight, defend Fengtian, and defend the Northeast. This is our duty. Apart from making sacrifices in vain, what else can you do if you stay here?  } Huang Xiansheng said angrily, somewhat anxiously.  {General, as the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Although we are still studying, we are also sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. At this time of crisis for the country and the nation, General, you led the soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice on the front line. How can we hide?  Living an ignoble existence at the rear?  }The student representative said impassionedly and with great righteousness.  {Little brothers, there are ways to serve the country, and you don’t necessarily have to go to the front line with a gun. You are all students of Northeastern University and will be the pillars of the country in the future. You are extremely important to the country, the nation, and Northeast China. You are completely  There is no need to be cannon fodder on this battlefield in vain!  }After saying that, Huang Xiansheng didn't wait for the student representative to speak, and shouted to the guard platoon leader: {Platoon leader Wang, what the hell are you doing in a daze? Send them down safely as soon as possible!  }    {yes!  }The second lieutenant surnamed Wang responded loudly and forcefully dragged the student representative towards the city.  At this time, another round of shelling by the Japanese army struck, and the entire city of Fengtian almost turned into a sea of ??fire, with explosions everywhere, thick smoke and dazzling firelight.  During the explosion, soldiers of the Northeastern Army were unfortunately hit from time to time. Some were hit in vital parts by stray bullets and died on the spot. Others were swept down the city by the powerful explosion airflow and fell to their death.  Huang Xiansheng leaned his back against the wall, put a new magazine on his gun, took a few deep breaths, raised his head and shouted loudly: {Brothers, hold on, behind us is Shenyang City, where hundreds of thousands of people are.  Life and death depend on us. Therefore, if the little devil wants to step into Shenyang City, he can only walk over our corpses!  Come on, cheer me up. The kid's artillery sounds scary, but it's actually not accurate. Hold on!  } ………………… On a small road about six or seven hundred meters away from the headquarters of the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment, the officers and soldiers led by Zhang Xinghan stopped and looked at the Japanese troops in front of them who were unscrupulously shelling Fengtian City.  In the direction of the artillery position, Zhang Xinghan's eyes revealed a ferocious look.  {Signal Corps, tell Liu Guodong immediately and ask him to lead his men to follow immediately, kill all the Japanese sentries when they encounter them, and then kill the Japs’ artillery positions for me at all costs!  }Zhang Xinghan turned his head and shouted.     {yes!  }A communications soldier responded quickly, then turned around and disappeared into the night.  {Brothers, if gunshots ring out from behind, stop pretending to engage the enemy and attack the Japanese headquarters immediately. You must capture it at all costs!  }Looking at the Japanese military headquarters not far ahead, Zhang Xinghan gave instructions in a low voice.     {yes!  }The officers and soldiers took orders in low voices.  Immediately, Zhang Xinghan continued to advance towards the Japanese military headquarters in a swaggering manner.  At the same time, inside the headquarters of the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment.  The commander of the regiment, Colonel Yukihiro Hirata, accompanied by three staff adjutants, was standing on theHe was very busy watching the performance of his own artillery troops.  In order to enhance the offensive capabilities of the 29th Infantry Regiment and help it break through Shenyang City as soon as possible, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters specially transferred two heavy artillery pieces to Lushun Fortress to Yukihiro Hirata at the beginning of the war, with a caliber of astonishing 240MM.  With these two powerful fortress heavy artillery, Yukihiro Hirata's artillery strength increased rapidly. Therefore, although the defenders commanded by Huang Xiansheng were sitting in the Shenyang Arsenal, due to the rush of time, all the main troops were evacuated and lacked experienced artillery.  They were suppressed by the Japanese army under artillery fire.  The only small-scale artillery unit was destroyed by the superior artillery fire of the Japanese army not long after the war began, and thus fell into a situation of passive attack and artillery fire.  However, although the Fortress heavy artillery has a huge caliber and amazing power, its slow rate of fire is its obvious shortcoming. Coupled with the stubborn resistance of the defenders in the city, Hirata Yukihiro organized several attacks but were repelled by the defenders, and was temporarily trapped.  reached a stalemate.  This time, Yukihiro Hirata's face was still solemn. When he saw the shells falling towards Fengtian City like meteors under the flames, and eventually a huge explosion occurred, turning the entire Fengtian City into a sea of ??fire, Yukihiro Hirata  A proud sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth inadvertently.  {Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it’s almost time. Should we ask the artillery unit to replace it with special ammunition?  }A Japanese military staff officer standing behind Yukihiro Hirata stepped forward and asked.     {Um!  } Yukihiro Hirata nodded happily. It turned out that in order to catch the defenders in the city by surprise, the cunning Yukihiro Hirata discussed with his staff and decided that this attack would first use conventional artillery shells to fire fiercely at the Fengtian city defenses. After causing certain casualties to the defenders, he would then use  Use special bombs to conduct a surprise attack to catch the defenders off guard. Finally, order the already prepared offensive troops to launch an attack and seize the city!  If there are no accidents and according to the Japanese army's plan, the defenders at the top of the city will probably suffer heavy losses if they do not prepare gas masks, and Fengtian City may also be broken through by the Japanese army.  Just when the chief of staff bowed his head to accept the order, turned around and was about to call the artillery position to inform them to switch to special ammunition, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside the headquarters. In the silent night sky, this sudden gunfire seemed particularly special.  deafening.  Including Yukihiro Hirata, the expressions of several senior Japanese officers changed drastically. Their years of professional military careers told them that the gunfire definitely did not come from the frontier battlefield, but from somewhere not far from their headquarters.     {what happened?  }Hirata Yukihiro asked in confusion.  However, before the captain of the garrison squadron from the wing headquarters outside could rush in, a burst of closer and denser gunshots and shouts of kill suddenly rang out.  This time, Yukihiro Hirata's expression changed even more. Before he could react, the captain of the garrison squadron who was guarding outside rushed in with a panic expression.  {Your Excellency, Captain, what's bad, a group of enemy troops have sneaked in and are attacking us.  }The captain of the garrison squadron forgot to salute in his hurry, so he reported to Yukihiro Hirata.     {Um?  enemy?  Bagaya Road, where did the enemy come from?  What does your garrison squadron do for food?  How could the enemy sneak in so quietly?  }Hearing this, Yukihiro Hirata roared angrily and shouted.  {The enemy is wearing our military uniforms!  }The guard squadron leader explained with a look of shame.  {Brothers, the Japanese military headquarters is right in front of you. Charge and kill all the Japanese inside!  }Two or three hundred meters outside the Japanese military headquarters, Zhang Xinghan held a crooked machine gun and shouted loudly.  After saying that, the machine gun in his hand pointed forward with a long burst of fire. More than ten 6.5mm machine gun bullets rushed like a whirlwind towards several Japanese guards who were trying to resist a hundred meters away.  {Puff puff puff} Several Japanese soldiers fell down in response. Behind Zhang Xinghan, three hundred soldiers suddenly let out loud shouts and swarmed towards the Japanese military headquarters like a tide.  Around the Japanese headquarters, about a hundred Japanese guards hurriedly rose up to resist, and a close and bloody battle began.  At the same time, two hundred officers and soldiers led by First Company Commander Liu Guodong also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army. The first shot just now was fired by Liu Guodong. Liu Guodong did not speak Japanese. When intercepted and questioned by Japanese outposts, he could only answer with bullets.  After the gunfire rang out from his side, Zhang Xinghan, who had approached the Japanese headquarters less than half a mile away, also opened fire and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese headquarters.  The distance of two to three hundred meters is already an excellent assault distance. In addition, Zhang Xinghan knew that opening fire on his side would relieve Liu Guodong's attack on the Japanese artillery position, so he decisively ordered the opening fire attack without hesitation.  As Zhang Xinghan expected, when the Japanese military headquarters was attacked, the Japanese guards moved closer to the headquarters with all their strength in order to defend the regiment headquarters, and the defensive power in the direction of their artillery positions was naturally weakened.  Liu Guodong took the opportunity to take actionThey rushed and fought fiercely, and soon rushed to the vicinity of the Japanese artillery position. The Japanese artillery troops, which had already been alerted, were forced to interrupt their continued shelling of Fengtian City and launch special bombs, and instead resisted the sudden attack by Liu Guodong's troops.  attack.  However, how could the Japanese artillery unit, equipped with only a few dozen guardsmen, be the opponent of Liu Guodong's two hundred elite Northeastern troops when they were caught off guard.  Less than ten minutes later, Liu Guodong led his troops to break through the Japanese defense line and invade the Japanese artillery position. The Japanese artillerymen and ammunition soldiers, who were only equipped with self-defense pistols, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and were frantically slaughtered by Liu Guodong's two hundred tigers and wolves.  .  With the bayonets red, Liu Guodong and two hundred elites used the hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese army was most proud of, slaughtering the almost unarmed Japanese artillerymen and ammunition handers like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 15: Completed (Second Update)

    Compared with the easy massacre battle led by Liu Guodong, the resistance encountered by the main force led by Zhang Xinghan was much stronger.  Since there are many senior wing commanders in the headquarters, including Wing Commander Hirata Yukihiro, the resistance of the Japanese Guards is very tenacious, almost all of them are not afraid of death. In addition, Hirata Yukihiro also immediately issued a rapid response to the frontline troops.  Return order.  Therefore, although the 3rd Battalion had superior strength and a surprise attack, it was still unable to completely wipe out the Japanese army and attack Yukihiro Hirata's headquarters.  {Barracks, the Japs are resisting very tenaciously. Their reinforcements will arrive in five minutes at most. What should we do?  } At the critical moment, Second Company Commander Gao Chu, while manning a machine gun and firing fiercely to suppress the enemy, turned his head and asked Zhang Xinghan anxiously.  {Damn it, what does Liu Guodong do for food?  Haven't you captured the Japanese artillery positions yet?  } Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Xinghan suddenly became anxious and cursed.  {I’ll send someone to take a look right now!  }Gao Chudao.  {Tell Liu Guodong, after taking down the Japanese artillery position, immediately turn the muzzle of the gun, point it at the little devil’s headquarters and blast him, that son of a bitch!  }Zhang Xinghan ordered urgently.     {yes!  } Gao Chu happily agreed and immediately sent a communications soldier to run wildly in the direction of the Japanese artillery position.  ……………………………… At the top of Fengtian City, the Japanese army’s fierce bombardment that lasted for nearly half an hour finally stopped. Under the command of Huang Xiansheng, the surviving officers and soldiers at the top of the city re-entered with guns drawn.  He took a fighting position and stood ready.  But after more than ten minutes, the expected battle never happened.  {Virgo, that’s not right, why haven’t the little devils attacked yet?  According to their aggressive nature, shouldn't it be time for the infantry to charge and attack after the artillery bombardment is finished?  } Behind the wall at the top of the city, Wang Yicai turned to look at Huang Xiansheng in confusion.  Huang Xiansheng frowned, pondered for a while, shook his head and said: {I don’t know what the fuck the little devil is doing.  } {How about I take a company out of the city to spy on him for a while?  }Wang Yicai was eager to try.  {No, no matter what plots the little devils try, as long as we hold on to the city defense and don't give them any chance to take advantage of it, it's not feasible to go out rashly now that the night is so dark.  } Huang Xiansheng thought for a while, shook his head and objected.     {yes!  }Wang Yicai nodded and said.  ………………………………… {Pfft!  }Liu Guodong stabbed to death the last Japanese officer who resisted with a bayonet. Before he could order all the artillery to be blown up, at this moment, a communications soldier rushed over in a hurry. Before he could reach him, he shouted at the top of his lungs.  Said: {Company Commander Liu, there is an order from the camp. After taking down the Japanese artillery position, quickly turn the muzzle of the artillery and aim at the Japanese command post for bombardment. Quick!  The Japanese reinforcements are coming soon!  }    {knew!  }Liu Guodong pulled out his bayonet from the corpse of the Japanese officer, and immediately turned around and shouted: {Third Platoon Commander, take your people and turn the muzzles of these Type 92 infantry guns and mortars for me.  The quasi-Japanese army headquarters was bombarding him, and the first platoon was responsible for installing the artillery. Once the bombardment was over, all the artillery was immediately blown up.  Second row alert!  }    {yes!  } Several second lieutenants and platoon leaders agreed with a loud voice, and immediately took the orders and left.  After a while, the four Type 92 infantry guns and two 60MM mortars completed the muzzle rotation and locked the target.  A platoon of soldiers also placed most of the remaining artillery pieces, including the two fortress heavy artillery pieces, and everything was ready.  At this moment, the third platoon leader who personally operated a Type 92 infantry gun took over a shell from a soldier. As a person from the artillery section of the Northeast Lecture Hall, he noticed something was wrong on the spot. The shell he received seemed to be  It was much lighter than the shells he had been exposed to before.  Confused, he turned the cannonball in his hand and suddenly found a skull. Seeing this, the third platoon leader's face suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and shouted to Liu Guodong not far away: {Company Commander,  No, this is not an ordinary artillery shell, this is a poison gas bomb!  }    {What?  Gas bombs?  }Liu Guodong was also shocked when he heard this. He was also born in a martial arts hall in the Northeast, and he was no stranger to poison gas bombs. When the Fengtian army besieged Zhuozhou where Fu Zuoyi was defending, they had used this thing before. Now it is said in the warehouse in Shenyang  There are also a lot of poison gas bombs imported by Marshal Zhang.  {Yes, it’s a gas bomb.  What to do, use it or not?  }The third platoon leader asked hesitantly. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Use gas bombs, why don’t you use them, the little devils are planning to use gas bombs to attack Fengtian City, why can’t we use them, I didn’t say anything, just use gas bombs to blast that son of a bitch!  } He took the gas bomb from the hands of the third platoon leader and looked at it. After pondering for a while, Liu Guodong made a decision immediately.     {yes!  }The commander of the third platoon quickly acted with the other improvised artillerymen and quickly completed loading. Immediately after his voiceBelow, four Type 92 infantry guns and two 60mm mortars opened fire one after another.  Among them, two mortars fired poison gas bombs, and the other four Type 92 infantry guns all used high-explosive bombs for bombardment.  {俅俅俅!  Boom boom!  } After the dull and ear-splitting sound of the artillery muzzle sounded, four high-explosive bombs and two poison gas bombs rumbled out from the muzzle one after another. Under the scarlet flames, they dragged a long tail flame towards the Japanese military headquarters.  Smashed away.  At this time, the attack on the Japanese command headquarters has reached the final moment. More than 400 Japanese forward reinforcements are less than half a kilometer away from the battle site, and the sound of killing can be heard.  Four high-explosive bombs fell first, and there was a huge explosion. Hirata Yukihiro and three staff adjutants who were anxiously waiting for reinforcements in the headquarters were directly turned into earthen planes.  In the scarlet fire, the temporary wooden headquarters was completely shattered into pieces. Dozens of Japanese soldiers who stood outside the headquarters were also affected. At least half of them fell into a pool of blood. For a while, miserable screams could be heard one after another.  "The Japanese guards who were a little further away had not yet reacted to the sudden explosion. Two poison gas bombs fell on their heads with a harsh scream.  But surprisingly it didn’t explode, it just emitted auburn smoke and a strange hissing sound.  In the dark night, the Japanese guards could not see the smoke, but they could hear the strange crackling sound. When there was an occasional flash of fire, some sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers suddenly discovered something unusual and screamed in horror on the spot: {8  Ga, yes, it’s poisonous gas.  } As Japanese officers and soldiers who often used poison gas, no one knew the power and terror of poison gas bombs better than them. So when they found that the poison gas bombs had fallen around them and the poison gas had begun to spread, the Japanese soldiers spread the word from ten to ten, and suddenly  It's a big mess, everything is in disarray.  Zhang Xinghan, who had already approached within a hundred meters of the Japanese headquarters, saw that the Japanese headquarters had been blown into ruins and turned into a sea of ??fire. He immediately ordered: {Withdraw, quickly!  } PS: I have a friend who is going out tomorrow. As usual, I will see him off tonight. I won’t get home until 10:30 and start typing. I am still looked down upon and said to be unloyal, so the number of words is a little less. Don’t blame me.  It’s almost midnight, please click, collect and recommend!  !  !  !

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 16: Entering Fengtian

    At the same time that Zhang Xinghan ordered the retreat, Liu Guodong's second round of bombardment arrived as scheduled. The Japanese army, which was already in chaos, collapsed immediately. In the light of the fire, the Japanese soldiers were blown up and cried for their fathers and mothers, wailing all over the place.  What made the Japanese soldiers even more heartbroken was that they could not see or touch the poisonous gas that had merged into the dark night and spread.  With the slightest contact, he will soon convulse all over, foam at the mouth and die.  In order to protect Zhang Xinghan’s main force from the battle, Liu Guodong ordered three platoons of officers and soldiers to continue firing. The fierce artillery fire and poison gas formed a solid and solid barrier, which happened to block more than 400 Japanese reinforcements who had just returned from the front.  Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to lead the main force to evacuate quickly. After Liu Guodong led 200 elite soldiers to use up all the artillery shells, he ordered the bombs to be detonated and quickly evacuated.  {Boom, boom, boom!  } Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the entire Japanese artillery position instantly turned into a sea of ??fire.  Due to the barrier of poisonous gas, the Japanese reinforcements had no choice but to retreat, and watched helplessly as Zhang Xinghan and the others calmly evacuated and quickly disappeared into the darkness.  Since the headquarters was destroyed, the wing captain and other senior commanders of the wing were all shattered, and they were worried that they would be ambushed if they pursued in the dark. Therefore, the main force of the Japanese army did not pursue Zhang Xinghan and the others, but quickly became vigilant, cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded.  Report the news of the death of Yukihiro Hirata and other senior officers to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun.  ………………… At the same time, Huang Xiansheng and the other officers and soldiers who were holding on to the top of Fengtian City were shocked by the big explosion behind the Japanese position.  Looking at the flames soaring into the sky and the deafening explosions one after another, Deputy Director Wang Yicai said with confusion on his face: {Virgin, what is going on?  Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?  } {Reinforcements?  }Huang Xiansheng, who was also extremely surprised, muttered to himself uncertainly.  At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind them. The two men turned around suddenly when they heard the sound, and saw a soldier carrying a rifle and running up to the top of the city, panting, and quickly ran towards them.  {Director, Deputy Director Wang, a unit of our army has arrived from the north of the city. They claim to be the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th ** Brigade, saying they came from the Peking Camp to support us.  }When he reached the front, the soldier snapped his feet, stood at attention, and saluted and reported.  {From the seventh brigade?  How many of them are there?  } Huang Xiansheng's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously with excitement.  {There were about two hundred people, carrying a batch of artillery and a large number of guns.  }The soldier answered truthfully.  {There are only two hundred people?  Damn it, were all the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade killed in battle?  Why are there only two hundred people?  } Huang Xiansheng said a little disappointed and a little angry.  {Virgo, now is the time for us to employ people. The Seventh Brigade is a well-trained elite division. These two hundred people are also a great help to us.  } As Wang Yicai spoke, he leaned close to Huang Xiansheng's ear and whispered: {Furthermore, it's not like you don't know, Virtue, that the Marshal had repeatedly ordered the 7th Brigade not to resist before the war. I guessed that the 7th Brigade was probably  The Beida Camp was reluctantly evacuated. As for the entire army being annihilated, that was unlikely, because the Kwantung Army in Shenyang alone did not have such a big appetite.  }    {snort!  } Huang Xiansheng snorted coldly, and then ordered the soldier: {Notify the garrison and let them enter the city. In addition, ask the highest-ranking officer among them to come see me immediately.  }    {yes!  }The soldier just wanted to leave.  Suddenly, another soldier rushed from the city. He didn't even have time to stand at attention and salute before reporting to Huang Xiansheng: "General Huang, it's bad, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly appeared at the north gate, numbering about four to five hundred people. The situation is critical. Our company is in critical condition."  Please send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible!  }    {What?  } Huang Xiansheng and Wang Yicai were both shocked when they heard this. After looking at each other in astonishment, Huang Xiansheng immediately said to Wang Yicai: {Yicai, you stay here to command, I will lead a company to reinforce the north gate.  }    {yes!  Virgo must be careful.  }Wang Yicai promised with a bang, but did not forget his instructions.  {Damn you, the bullet that killed me hasn’t been made yet!  } Huang Xiansheng snorted angrily, and then waved his hand: {The Third Squadron of the Police Corps is coming with me to reinforce Beimen.  } After saying that, he took the lead and led hundreds of military police down the city, running straight along the street towards the north gate.  ……………………………… Outside the North Gate, the two hundred soldiers led by Liu Jianguo were responsible for transporting a large number of guns and artillery brought back from the Peking University Camp. After arriving at the North Gate, they were told by the defenders where they were.  wait.  When Liu Jianguo was depressed, Zhang Xinghan suddenly appeared in Japanese military uniforms with four to five hundred {Japanese soldiers}. Liu Jianguo was lucky because when he was cleaning the battlefield outside Peking University Camp, he knew that Zhang Xinghan ordered 500 soldiers to put on the corpses of Japanese soldiers.  Unplugged military uniform.  But the defenders on the city didn’t know it. When they heard the strange things,When the searchlight was shined in the direction of Zhang Xinghan and the others, a warning shot was fired immediately. A company commander in charge of the North Gate defense ordered the troops to open fire while sending someone to quickly report the sudden situation to Huang Xiansheng.  The defenders on the top of the city suddenly opened fire, which was beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectation. He had been retreating quickly, but he was also afraid that the Japanese troops were approaching, so he forgot to take off his Japanese military uniforms in his haste.  In order to avoid self-injury, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and stay put.  The defenders at the top of the city fired their machine guns, but stopped shooting when they saw no attack from the Japanese troops. The two sides faced off.  Liu Jianguo and two hundred soldiers were caught in the middle.  Forced to have no choice, Liu Jianguo shouted to the top of the city at the top of his voice: "Brothers above, don't shoot. Those who came just now are not Japanese troops. They are the main force of our 3rd Battalion. They have just made a sneak attack under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan from our camp."  Japanese army, you all heard and saw the big explosion just now, right? That was what they did.  } The superior company commander on top of the city looked at the city, pondered for a while and said: {Brothers below the city, just in case, you should prepare for battle quickly to prevent the enemy from sneak attack!  }????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I already told you, they are not the enemy, they are the main force of our 3rd Battalion.  }Liu Jianguo was furious when he heard this.  {Whether they are the Japanese army or not, you will know after dawn!  }The captain said.  {Okay, if you don’t believe them, then you should believe me, right?  Open the city gate quickly and let us in first.  } Seeing that the captain and company commander at the top of the city were difficult to deal with, and fearing that the Japanese army was approaching, Liu Jianguo planned to lead two hundred people into the city to control the city gate, and then let Zhang Xinghan and others enter the city.  Unexpectedly, the captain at the head of the city said impatiently: {Stop talking nonsense, no one can enter the city without General Huang's order.  }    {you!  }Liu Jianguo's face was livid with anger, but in order to avoid misunderstandings and triggering unnecessary exchanges of fire, he and his two hundred subordinates were within the absolute effective shooting range of the defenders on the city. If they were offended, he would fire a volley.  , throw a few more grenades, and it's over.  We can only tolerate it for the time being.

    In this way, the two sides fell into anxious waiting and confrontation.  Nearly twenty minutes passed before a burst of noisy footsteps came from the city. Huang Xiansheng hurried up to the city with more than a hundred soldiers.  The captain and company commander who was waiting at the top of the city quickly greeted and saluted: {General, you are finally here.  } {How is the situation now?  } Huang Xiansheng asked as he walked to the wall and looked outside the city.  {The two hundred officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade outside the city gate said that the four to five hundred people who came just now were not the Japanese army, but the main force of the 3rd Battalion who went to sneak attack the Japanese army. They also said that the big explosion in the direction of the Japanese army's position was caused by them.  However, just in case, I still haven't let them in, and I'm waiting for you to come and make a decision.  }The captain replied.     {Um.  } Huang Xiansheng patted his shoulder and said approvingly: {Good job.  } Outside the city, Zhang Xinghan noticed a sudden crowd of people on top of the city. Knowing that reinforcements might have arrived, he immediately stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs: {Brothers in the city, I wonder if General Huang Xiansheng, the Commissioner of Police, agrees to let go.  Are we entering the city?  } {Hum, Mom's Ba Zi, Lao Tzu is Huang Xiansheng, who are you?  } Huang Xiansheng heard Zhang Xinghan's question and asked coldly.  {General Huang, my humble position is Zhang Xinghan, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China. Three hours ago, the Japanese army suddenly attacked Beida Camp. I was ordered to lead my troops to stop the attack. After the bloody battle of the entire battalion, the invading Japanese army was finally wiped out.  Hearing of Fengtian's emergency, Xinghant led all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to rush over. They had just taken the opportunity to take over the command post and artillery position of the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment. In a short period of time, the Japanese were unable to attack Fengtian City, but our brothers fought fiercely.  In the middle of the night, we were exhausted. In order to prevent the Japanese army from pursuing us, we asked General Huang to quickly open the city gate and let us enter the city.  }Zhang Xinghan responded loudly.     {What?  Did you wipe out all the Japanese troops who attacked Beida Camp?  The Japs' headquarters and artillery positions were taken away again?  }Huang Xiansheng thought of the big explosion behind the Japanese army's position just now, and frowned in confusion as he pondered.  After a long time, Huang Xiansheng said to the outside of the city: "Captain Zhang, I'm really sorry. There are so many battalion and company commanders in the 7th brigade. I really don't dare to recognize you. So, your brigade, General Wang Yizhe, should still be in the city. I am sending people  Ask him to come and verify your true identity, and you can rest and wait outside the city.  }?{General Huang?  }Zhang Xinghan was anxious, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He immediately turned around and ordered all the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion: {Brothers, can everyone of us in the **7th Brigade still sing?  Now I start the song and everyone sings with me.  } {Hurts my nation, repeatedly oppressed by strong neighbors } {hurts my nation, repeatedly oppressed by strong neighbors, the most sad, cut land compensation, sovereignty deprives the great rivers and mountains, and the Chi Chi is half drifting. Who is there?  Can rise up to save the motherland, save the motherland!  We, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade, get up quickly and take charge. We are willing to work together and work together. The Prime Minister will never forget the will and the commander will be strict. We must ride the long wind and break through thousands of miles of waves to save China!  } Under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan, including Liu Guodong's troops outside the city gate, all more than 700 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion sang in unison, and the neat, high-pitched yet tragic singing resounded throughout the night sky across the north gate.  Feeling the solemnity and sorrow of the singing, all the defenders on the city were moved. Huang Xiansheng was stunned on the spot and lost his mind for a long time.  As the chief of the Liaoning Provincial Police and the chief of the Fengtian Police Department, he and Wang Yizhe are both colleagues and friends, so it is naturally impossible for him to be ignorant of the 7th Brigade's song.  {Open the city gate and let them in quickly.  }When the first wave of singing stopped and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion continued to sing repeatedly, Huang Xiansheng finally came to his senses.     {yes!  }The captain and company commander was also extremely excited and happily accepted the order and ran down to the city in person.  After Zhang Xinghan led his troops into the city, Huang Xiansheng was already waiting at the city gate with a group of guards.  “Maybe the original Zhang Xinghan had met Huang Xiansheng, so Zhang Xinghan recognized him at a glance, and quickly led Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Gao Chu and other subordinates to step forward and stand at attention and salute: {General Huang.  }?{Brothers, you have worked hard.  } Huang Xiansheng hurriedly returned the gift, and then Sushou said: {Let’s go into the city and rest quickly.  } After entering the city, Zhang Xinghan ordered Gao Chu and Liu Guodong to lead the troops to find a place to rest and eat. He and Liu Jianguo followed Huang Xiansheng to the south gate of the main battlefield.  As soon as a group of people walked up to the top of the city, Wang Yicai, who was left behind to command, came up to him. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he couldn't help being surprised: {Xinghan, why are you here?  } {How do you know each other?  } Huang Xiansheng was a little surprised.  {Virgo, he is my best friend since childhood. We both grew up wearing crotchless pants together.  }Wang Yicai explained excitedly.     {oh?  }Huang Xiansheng pointed at Zhang Xinghan and said: {Battalion Commander Zhang led his troops to defend Beida Camp and wiped out all the invading enemies, and then led his troops to rush to Fengtian. The big explosion in the direction of the Japanese position just now was their fault. They killed the ghosts.The old boy Yukihiro Hirata probably also ascended to the sky.  }?{No wonder!  }Wang Yicai suddenly realized something.     {how?  } Huang Xiansheng looked at him puzzled.  {After you went to the north gate, the Japanese army began to retreat. To this end, I also sent a reconnaissance team out of the city to conduct reconnaissance. I learned that the Japanese army had indeed withdrawn from all positions outside the city and was withdrawing towards its original station.  }Wang Yi’s wealth path.     {real?  Great, this way Fengtian City can be temporarily saved. I have to report to the young commander as soon as possible.  } Huang Xiansheng said extremely excitedly.  {Yicai, you and Battalion Commander Zhang will stay here temporarily in case the Japanese army comes back. I'll go back to the headquarters first.  }Huang Xiansheng said.     {yes!  }Wang Yicai and Zhang Xinghan stood at attention at the same time and responded.  Huang Xiansheng nodded and led the guards down to the city.  ???…………………………………… Lushun Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Because he was concerned about launching an attack on the Northeast Army and seizing control of the Northeast by force, the current commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, did not fall asleep. Instead, accompanied by several operational staff officers from the headquarters, he waited anxiously in the war room.  developments and news.  During the anxious waiting, a rush of footsteps sounded in vain, and a Japanese communications adjutant ran into the war room with a panicked look.  Seeing the appearance of the communications adjutant, Benzhuang Shige's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an ominous premonition.  {Sakamoto-kun, what’s going on?  }A combat staff member came forward to ask.  {Sir, Commander, no, it’s not good.  }The Japanese communications adjutant named Sakamoto panicked and reported intermittently: {The 29th Infantry, United, United} {Baga, make it clear, don't be nervous!  }Honjo Shige was very angry at his gaffe, and he slapped the table and shouted loudly.  Sakamoto suddenly fell silent. After a cold response, he stood up and said: {Your Excellency, General, the 29th Infantry Regiment received an urgent call. Just now, the 29th Infantry Regiment headquarters and artillery position were successively attacked by the Northeast Army. The artillery  The entire army was wiped out, all artillery was destroyed, and a number of senior officers, including the commander of the 29th Infantry Regiment, Hirata Yukihiro, were also unfortunately killed. Now the command hub of the 29th Infantry Regiment has been severely damaged, and it is necessary to defend the city.  The Northeastern Army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and all the brigades under the 29th Infantry Regiment voluntarily evacuated Fengtian and returned to their original bases to stand by.  }    {What?  }Although he was mentally prepared, Shigeru Honjo was still deeply shocked. The 29th Infantry Regiment failed?  Moreover, even the headquarters and artillery were taken away. How is this possible?  However, misfortunes never come singly, and blessings never come together. Before Benzhuang Shige could recover from the shock, another Japanese communications lieutenant rushed over with a panicked look on his face.  {Your Excellency, General, we have just received the latest information and were ordered to attack the 2nd Battalion of the South Manchuria Railway Garrison to attack the Beida Camp. During the battle to attack the Beida Camp, their entire army was wiped out by the captain of the brigade, Masaichi Shimamoto!  }The communications lieutenant hurriedly reported the report.  {Nani?  }Honjo Shige was completely dumbfounded, even the **Second Defense Brigade was wiped out?  what on earth is it?  Didn't Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji insist that this plan was foolproof, and Zhang Xueliang had already ordered the Northeast Army not to resist?  ?Then why does this happen again?  A series of questions appeared in Benzhuang Shigeru's mind one after another.  {Immediately report this information to Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, and ask them to come up with an emergency response plan immediately!  Come on!  } When Honjo Shige was in a state of confusion, he thought of Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, the specific controllers and planners of this incident. If the incident of seizing Northeast China by force ended in failure, then he, the commander of the Kwantung Army who had just taken office, was  There is absolutely no way to get rid of it.  As the actual initiators of this incident, Ishihara and Itagaki cannot escape the blame. Therefore, they will definitely try their best to save the situation until they win. Thinking of this, Honjo Shige, who is already mediocre in intelligence, immediately threw the problem like a ball.  Both of them.  ???………………………… At the Fengtian Station of the South-Manchuria Railway, a large number of Japanese troops have already guarded the place.  Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, two good friends, finally arrived at Nanman Station (Shenyang Station) after a long journey of more than ten hours.  However, as soon as they got off the train, before the two of them could get into the car that had been prepared and headed to the frontline headquarters, an accompanying communications officer hurried over.  He suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and reported to the two of them: {Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, sorry, the headquarters has just forwarded the latest battle report from the front line.  }    {How's it going?  }Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara smiled and looked at each other, anxiously asking in their hearts.  {The 29th Infantry Regiment and the South Manchuria RailwayThe attacks of the 2nd ** garrison ended in failure. Shimamoto Masaichi's 2nd garrison was completely destroyed outside the Beida Camp. The 29th Regiment headquarters and artillery position were destroyed. Commander Hirata and others  Senior military officers were also unfortunately shattered.  }The communications officer reports quickly.     {this?  How can this be?  }Itagaki Seishiro's face was full of disbelief.  {Reporting to the Chief of Staff, this news was sent from Lushun Headquarters and is confirmed to be correct.  }The communications officer replied.  {Bagaya Road, what on earth is going on?  } Itagaki Seishiro was immediately furious, and Ishihara Wanji on the side took advantage of the situation to grab him and whispered: {Go to the frontline headquarters first, and then make a decision after asking about the situation.  } PS: Thank you to the leaders of the Tianhai Alliance and the Dream Alliance, as well as sister of the Rolling Yangtze River West Passing Water, for their reward support. In addition, congratulations to Tianhai Xiangyun for becoming the first helmsman of the Anti-Japanese War Huben. Thank you!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 19: Trapped in the Lonely City

    A few minutes later, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, escorted by a large number of guards, arrived at Sujiatun near the South-Manchuria Railway, which was the original location of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division and the railway garrison.  When Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara arrived at Sujiatun, the Japanese troops of the 29th Infantry Regiment had already withdrawn here under the leadership of their respective captains.  After learning of this situation, Ishihara and I immediately asked officers above the second lieutenant of the 29th Infantry Regiment to come to the headquarters for a meeting.  Soon, the not-so-large headquarters became crowded with Japanese officers of all levels. However, except for Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro, none of the Japanese officers present had a rank higher than that of Colonel, and the highest was Major.  When Ishihara Wanji saw this, although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasped. The entire 29th Infantry Regiment, the best field regiment in the empire, had its command hub unexpectedly taken over by the Northeastern Army and the artillery unit.  Well, this is a huge shame for the Imperial Japanese Army, which prides itself on being invincible.  In contrast, what shocked and puzzled Ishihara Wanji even more: which unit of the Northeastern Army was responsible for all this?  According to his understanding of the Northeast Army in the Fengtian area, only Wang Yizhe's elite 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army was capable of doing so. But hadn't Zhang Xueliang and the Nanjing government headed by Chiang already given repeated orders not to resist?  How dare Wang Yizhe openly disobey orders and start a war with the imperial army?  Just when Ishihara Wanji was full of doubts, a member of the Special High School walked in quickly and sent the latest detailed military intelligence to Ishihara Wanji.  After Ishihara Wanji finished reading, his face was even more surprised. When Seishiro Itagaki saw this, he quickly asked: {Ishihara-kun, what’s wrong with you?  }?{Itagaki-kun, see for yourself.  }Ishihara Wanji handed the intelligence to Itagaki and said: {According to the intelligence, the elite 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Beidaying gave up resistance and retreated to Dongshanzuizi area at the beginning of the war, leaving less than half of the troops to block the attack.  Regiment, and the Chinese army stationed in Fengtian City has almost no regular troops, and most of them are made up of retired soldiers and military police.  }    {What?  In this case, wasn't the 29th Infantry Regiment defeated by a ragtag group of irregular troops?  }Itagaki Seishiro looked at the intelligence in his hand in surprise, and then said: {No, the intelligence said that the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army left less than half a regiment in the Beida Camp, and Shimamoto Masaichi's ** second  How could the garrison brigade be completely wiped out outside the Peking Camp?  Could it be the Northeast Army with less than half a regiment?  } Faced with the question raised by Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Wanji had no way of explaining it. After pondering for a moment, he asked the accompanying communications adjutant: {How is the progress of other units currently?  Is the attack on Yingkou, Fushun, and Siping going smoothly?  }????? {Reporting to your Excellency, according to a report not long ago, the attacks by various ministries on the above-mentioned areas were very smooth. The Northeastern Army defenders in various places collapsed at the first touch and fled without a fight. At present, the imperial army has basically controlled all major areas along the South Manchuria Railway.  town.  }The communications adjutant replied.  {That’s not right. If Zhang Xueliang instructed all units of the Northeastern Army to resist resolutely, how could all the Northeastern Army defenders in the above-mentioned areas flee without fighting?  How could the 7th Brigade give up the strategically important Beida Camp so easily?  } Ishihara smiled and murmured to himself.  {Ishihara-kun, how do you explain the encounter between the 29th Infantry Regiment and the **Second Defense Brigade?  }Itagaki Seishiro asked.  {This, I think, should be because some Northeastern troops in the Fengtian area were unwilling to evacuate and give up, but refused to carry out Zhang Xueliang's order and acted spontaneously, just like Huang Xiansheng organized military police and retired soldiers to defend Fengtian City, but we are still there for the time being.  Not sure who they are?  Being able to completely annihilate the Shimamoto Brigade and severely damage the 29th Infantry Regiment is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.  } Ishihara smiled meaningfully.  {Then what should we do next?  Should we continue to attack Fengtian City?  }Itagaki Seishiro asked.  {Attack, of course attack.  } Ishihara Wanji turned around as he spoke, came to the wall where a giant combat map was hung, and pointed to the South Manchuria Railway line on the map: {Itagaki-kun, look, currently, except for Fengtian City, from Siping to Yingkou,  More than a dozen important towns along the line have been controlled by us. Today, Fengtian City has become an isolated city. As long as we send cavalry troops to quickly seize the new people and cut off the Fengtian defenders' retreat southward to Jinzhou, then they will become a turtle in the urn and have wings.  There is no escape.  } {Then what does Ishihara-kun mean?  }Itagaki Seishiro was eager to try after Ishihara Wanji's analysis.  {Immediately increase reinforcements to prepare for the siege of Fengtian City, and quickly dispatch cavalry troops to attack Xinmin. After daybreak, our air force can take off to support the operation, and then launch another attack on Fengtian City. The defeat tonight is nothing. After daybreak,  That’s when the show really starts!  } Ishihara Wanji said confidently with a calm and strategizing expression.  {Yo??, just do as you say, Ishihara-kun.  } After hearing this, Itagaki Seishiro nodded happily with great approval: {After dawn, I will personally command the siege of Fengtian City to avoid the shame of tonight!  }???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just when Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro mobilized their forces to besiege Fengtian City, which had almost become an isolated city.  Inside the Fengtian City garrison headquarters.  Huang Xiansheng's face was particularly gloomy. Just now, he came to the headquarters full of excitement and was about to personally send a message to Marshal Zhang Xueliang who was far away in Beiping City to report that Zhang Xinghan led his troops to severely defeat the Japanese army and completely wipe out the Japanese army. However, he unexpectedly received a message from Siping.  Bad news came from the defenders in Yingkou and other places.  Almost all the important towns along the South Manchuria Railway were attacked by the Japanese army in just a few hours. Due to the commander's order, all the defenders abandoned the city to avoid fighting. Therefore, more than a dozen important towns were destroyed.  fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.  Huang Xiansheng is extremely clear about what this means to Fengtian City.  What made Huang Xiansheng even more angry was that when he called Zhang Xueliang with mixed feelings about this happy and sad information, the attendant who answered the phone told him that Zhang Xueliang had gone to the theater and was not in the official residence.  The Northeastern Army has long been aware of the evil intentions of the Japanese. As the absolute commander-in-chief of the Northeastern Army, how could he, Zhang Xueliang, have the leisure to attend the show at such a critical moment?  At this moment, Huang Xiansheng couldn't help but feel very sad and a little frustrated. Since the Japanese army had captured all the important cities along the Nanman Railway except Fengtian City, Fengtian City had become an isolated city. Although Zhang Xinghan's surprise attack tonight, he won a small victory.  However, it does not contribute to the overall strategic situation.  From Huang Xiansheng’s point of view, Fengtian City might not be able to be saved. How could he not be disheartened from this?  PS: Thanks to Hu Fa for the big reward, and thanks to the brothers for voting and collecting, thank you!  This is the first update today, and the second update may be late again. After all, Qiu Feng was unable to code this afternoon and was helping to make dumplings with his family.  Anyway, I will definitely repay what I owe, either tomorrow morning or after midnight, Chapter 20: Blood in the Lonely City will be updated, so stay tuned, the next part will be even more exciting.

    {guard!  }In despair, Huang Xiansheng shouted outside.  A burly guard came in and saluted: {Virgo, what are your orders?  } {Go and notify Deputy Director Wang and Battalion Commander Zhang to come to the headquarters. I have something to discuss with them.  }Huang Xiansheng said.     {yes!  }The guard agreed with a loud voice, turned around and quickly took the order and left.  ???………………………………… At the same time, Dongshan Zuizi established the temporary brigade headquarters of the 7th Brigade.  The commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade headquarters is reporting the situation to Zhao Zhenfan: {Participant, Beida Camp is empty. The 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment is missing. However, low-ranking officers found a large number of Japanese corpses outside the south gate of Beida Camp, numbering between five and six hundred people.  On the left and right, the uniforms and weapons of these Japanese corpses were all looted.  }    {Um?  Five or six hundred people?  }Zhao Zhenfan was obviously shocked and said: {The Japanese South Manchuria Railway garrison that confronted us before was only five or six hundred people. Could it be that they were all wiped out by the 3rd Battalion?  }?{I think it is very possible.  }The reconnaissance company commander said.  {So what is the situation in Fengtian now?  }Zhao Zhenfan asked.  {According to reports from the scouts, the battle in Fengtian has ended. The Japanese attack was frustrated and they were forced to evacuate Fengtian.  }The reconnaissance company commander replied.  {The attack was frustrated?  Just rely on the thousands of military police organized by Huang Xiansheng?  }Zhao Zhenfan was surprised.  {This is what the intelligence said, but the specific situation is not known yet.  }The reconnaissance company commander said.  Zhao Zhenfan fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said to the reconnaissance company commander: {In this case, you will immediately send people into the city, find a way to get in touch with the brigade, and ask us what to do next.  } {Will the parade have evacuated Fengtian?  }The reconnaissance company commander hesitated and said, "Probably not. Fengtian has not fallen, and it is still early in the morning. I think even if the brigade intends to evacuate, it should also choose to evacuate during the day. After all, the situation outside the city is more complicated at night."  You should send someone to look for him first. It would be better if he can be contacted.  }Zhao Zhenfan Road.     {yes!  }The reconnaissance company commander immediately stood up and saluted, then turned around and left quickly.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  During the long and anxious wait, the guards sent by Wang Yizhe to inquire about the news finally returned.  As soon as they entered the room, Wang Yizhe and others stood up one after another. Wang Yizhe even asked anxiously: "How is the situation outside now?"  }?{Reporting back to the brigade, the Japanese troops outside the city have been repulsed.  }The guard replied. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Brother Jingzhong did a great job. With the help of a temporary miscellaneous force composed of thousands of retired soldiers and policemen, they were able to defeat the long-premeditated Japanese elite. This battle was really beautiful.  }Wang Yizhe was quite excited after hearing this.  {Brigade seat, it was not Director Huang's troops that repelled the Japanese army.  }The guard saw Wang Yizhe's misunderstanding and said.     {What?  Not Huang Xiansheng’s army?  Which army did that?  }Wang Yizhe was extremely confused.  {This is the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of our **7th Brigade.  }The guard said something shocking.     {What?  3rd Battalion, 620th Regiment?  You said it was the 3rd Battalion led by Zhang Xinghan?  } Wang Yizhe, Wang Ruoying and others' expressions changed dramatically and they were shocked.     {Yes.  }The guard nodded.  {What about Beidaying?  Aren't Zhang Xinghan and the others holding firm at Beida Camp?  How did they come to Fengtian City, and how did they defeat the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment?  }Wang Yizhe asked one after another very puzzledly.  {Brigade seat, according to the information obtained by my humble position, Zhang Xinghan did lead his troops to hold on to the Beida Camp, but they wiped out all the Japanese troops who invaded the Beida Camp. After that, Battalion Commander Zhang led the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to disguise themselves as Japanese troops and go deep behind enemy lines.  The Japanese army's wing headquarters and artillery positions were destroyed, and the Japanese army was severely damaged. This forced the Japanese army to withdraw to Sujiatun.  }The guard explained.  Wang Yizhe seemed to be listening to heavenly scriptures, his mouth opened wide, this is incredible.  Wang Ruoying and Zhang's wife were even more happy and cried. In the view of Zhang Yuxi and his wife, their son not only did not sacrifice, but also made great achievements. This simply made them happy and delighted.  {Brother Xizi, congratulations on giving birth to a good son!  }Wang Yizhe sighed and said {You also have a good son-in-law!  }Zhang Yuxi's mood improved and she joked with a smile.  {Yes, he is a good son-in-law. He will give birth to a son like Xing Han. It is also a blessing for my family Ruoying to find a loyal man like Xing Han as her husband.  }Wang Yizhe nodded with deep approval.  {Dad!  }Wang Ruoying gave Wang Yizhe a charming and angry look, and then said a little shyly: {Dad, I want to see Xing Han.  }??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Xinghan has already returned victorious anyway, why are you so anxious? I'll send someone to escort you after daybreak.  }Wang Yizhe said.  {Yes, Ruoying, you have been waiting here for most of the night. Go to bed early. We will go to see Xinghan together tomorrow morning  }Zhang Yuxi also persuaded with concern.  {But}Wang Ruoying hesitated to speak. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? I have never seen you so worried about me when I was leading the army to fight. You are already worried about me even before you marry him!  Alas, it is true that women are not allowed to stay in college!  }Wang Yizhe said sourly.  {Dad!  }Wang Ruoying was angry and ashamed, and stamped her feet: {Isn’t she worried?  } ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You and Dingfang should go to bed early, I will take Ruoying to have a rest.  } At this time, Liu Liping stepped forward and took Wang Ruoying's hand to break the siege.  …………………………………… Fengtian Garrison Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai arrived hand in hand. They stood at attention and saluted Huang Xiansheng at the same time: "General Huang, please take your seat."  } {Zhang Ying, you are here.  } Huang Xiansheng looked a little sad and waved his hand towards them to signal them to come over.  {Virgo, what’s wrong with you?  }Wang Yicai noticed something was wrong with Huang Xiansheng's expression, and quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.  {I'm fine.  } Huang Xiansheng waved his hand and said: {I came to you in a hurry. I have something to announce to you. I just received the order from the Young Marshal. The Marshal ordered me to evacuate Fengtian immediately and rush to the north plane for instructions.  }It turned out that while Huang Xiansheng was waiting for Zhang and Wang, Zhang Xueliang returned to his official residence in Peking and made the call in person.  {Virgo, if you leave, what will happen to Fengtian City?  }Wang Yicai asked anxiously: {Also, Xinghan won a great victory and achieved great achievements. Have you reported it to the young marshal?  } Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai, sighed and said: {To tell you the truth, at the same time that we repelled the 29th Infantry Regiment, all the important towns along the South Manchuria Railway from Siping to Yingkou fell one after another.  In the hands of the Japanese army, that is to say, Fengtian City, which we defended along the South-Manchuria Railway, has not changed hands. As a result, Fengtian has become an isolated city.  }?{Therefore, although Xinghan first killed a Japanese garrison and then severely damaged the 29th Infantry Regiment and solved the siege of Fengtian, it did not help the overall situation in the Northeast. In order to avoid giving the Japanese army an excuse to launch a full-scale war, the Marshal decided  , withdrew all our troops inside and outside Fengtian City, including the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China in Dongshanzuizi and the police corps in Fengtian City.  } Huang Xiansheng said with an annoyed look.     {What?  Withdraw them all?  Then Fengtian City just gave up?  Wang Yicai obviously couldn't accept this fact, and said in a pitiful tone: {Virgin, we can't evacuate. If we leave, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of hometown elders in Fengtian City?  What to do about Shenyang Arsenal?  How can our Northeast Army's many years of foundation be handed over to the Japanese like this?  } {Why don’t I know these?  Why don't I feel sorry for this?  But as soldiers, it is our bounden duty to obey orders, so what can we do?  } Huang Xiansheng paused rather annoyed.  {General Huang, in fact, obeying orders is the bounden duty of our soldiers, but what Xinghan wants to say is that national dignity and national interests are above all else. What happened yesterday was the Japanese provocation first, and our army was forced to defend itself.  Fighting back is justified both emotionally and rationally. If the young commander sincerely resists, why should he be afraid of telling the truth to the Japanese?  }Zhang Xinghan, who had been deep in thought and silent, raised his head and said in a deep voice to Huang Xiansheng.  {Battle Commander Zhang, I understand everything you said, but have you ever thought about it, even if I, Huang, are willing to disobey orders and stay to defend Fengtian City, what about the other troops?  It's impossible for all of our 200,000 Northeastern Army officers and soldiers outside the Pass to disobey the Marshal's orders, right?  If they all retreat, what’s the point of our persistence?  } Huang Xiansheng asked in response to Zhang Xinghan's angry and reproachful gaze.  Obviously, Huang Xiansheng has no confidence in holding Fengtian City alone, which is human nature.  Zhang Xinghan was indifferent, and still said in a firm voice: "No matter what others do, Xinghan and all the brothers in the 3rd Battalion led by me will not give up Shenyang City easily, let alone the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City."  Escape alone, a real man lives in this world, doing something and not doing anything. From the day Xinghan put on the military uniform, I knew how heavy the responsibility was on our shoulders. It placed the hopes of 30 million elders outside the customs. It  It is something that we, as soldiers, must stick to. It is also called faith. If you defend your home and country, why would you regret it even if you die?  } {Baojia Wei Guo, why are you regretful?  !  }Huang Xiansheng was obviously touched by Zhang Xinghan's words. He repeated them twice carefully and couldn't help but praise: {Well said, if the young marshal had such thoughts and determination as you, Battalion Commander Zhang, how could our Northeastern Army have been defeated overnight?  Become a lost dog?  As a soldier, losing the city and losing land, causing humiliation and suffering to our fellow villagers, is really a sin that cannot be avoided. However, the young marshal has a great kindness to Huang, and I cannot disobey his order, but I decided,  I will leave all the police force and all the defenders in the city to you, Commander Zhang, and you will lead them to continue to defend Fengtian City. After I go to the north to see the young marshal, I will definitely urge the young marshal to send troops to regain the lost territory.  , I will personally lead my troops to support you!  }&nbsp; {Virgo, I will stay too, vowing to live and die with Fengtian!  }Wang Yicai raised his head and expressed his stance resolutely.  Huang Xiansheng did not refuse, but nodded with understanding: {Well, you may stay, and you can fully assist Xinghan in taking over the army.  }?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City have thanked General Huang. General Huang, please rest assured, as long as Zhang Xinghan is still breathing, the little devil will never even think of setting foot in Fengtian City!  }Zhang Xinghan was also quite surprised at this moment, and his admiration for Huang Xiansheng emerged spontaneously.  He originally knew that in the original history, Huang Xiansheng led his troops to resist for a while, then received Zhang Xueliang's order to retreat, and finally withdrew into the pass with thousands of his subordinates. It was not until the Great Wall War of Resistance broke out that he was able to lead the cavalry again.  The Second Division left the border and went deep into the hinterland of Northeast China to attack the Japanese army.  “I never thought that now, because of myself, he would keep the troops he had worked so hard to build. This shows how noble the patriotism in General Huang Xiansheng’s heart is.  {You don’t need to thank me, this is the last thing I can do for the elders in the city. When I return to Peiping, I will report it to the young marshal and ask for credit for you, and you will officially take over the position of Fengtian garrison commander.  .  } Huang Xiansheng waved his hand.  {Virgo, if you leave the army behind and return to Peiping, will the Marshal blame you?  }Wang Yicai asked worriedly.  {No, the irregular force of the police force is a self-defense force that I personally formed. The purpose of forming them is to defend Fengtian and the Northeast. It is better to keep them here than to bring them into the customs and live in an ignoble way.  .  As for the young marshal, I will explain to him. Besides, he has made great achievements in reviving the Han Dynasty. I think the young marshal will understand if I hand over the troops to him.  }Huang Xiansheng said.  {However, one thing is that from now on, Battalion Commander Zhang and your **7th Brigade number can no longer be used.  } Huang Xiansheng never forgot his instructions.     {Um!  }Zhang Xinghan nodded calmly.  PS: The chapter name was wrong yesterday, but it has been changed today.  ??Special thanks to sister enigmayanxi and Tianhaimeng for their rewards and evaluation support. Thank you, little brother!  !  !

    "Virgo, when do you plan to leave?" Wang Yicai asked.  "I'll leave right away, but before I leave, I have one more thing to do." After Huang Xiansheng finished speaking, he turned to the guard and shouted: "Guard, immediately notify all officers above the platoon leader in the city to gather at Qingnian Street quickly!" "Yes!  "The guard heard the guard's loud promise, and immediately there was a sound of footsteps disappearing quickly.  Knowing what Huang Xiansheng was going to do, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai both hurriedly stepped aside.  Huang Xiansheng was not polite. He stood up and took the lead and walked out. Zhang and Wang followed closely.  Half an hour later, on Qingnian Street north of the Hun River, about dozens of officers at all levels arrived in full uniform. Long before they arrived, Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan, and Wang Yicai came here with the guards of the headquarters.  .  Nearly a hundred guards officers and soldiers had already set up a three-step, one-post, five-step and one-post guard on both sides of the street. All the guards held torches to illuminate this section of the road.  At this time, Qingnian Street did not have the asphalt concrete pavement of later generations, but was all black soil pavement. However, after years of pressure, the black soil pavement has become extremely strong. As long as it does not rain heavily, the road here is still very smooth and easy to navigate.  By the light of torches, dozens of officers at all levels saw Huang Xiansheng and his entourage. They immediately stepped forward and saluted in unison: "Commander, Director, General." Huang Xiansheng returned the salute with a solemn expression, his eyes like knives  He glanced at the subordinates who had been following him for a long time in front of him, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I have called you here overnight. There is something important to announce to everyone." "Virgin, what's going on?"  The former police detective was obviously Huang Xiansheng's old subordinate. As soon as Huang Xiansheng finished speaking, he asked at the top of his voice.  Huang Xiansheng looked at the subordinate who had been with him for many years and said, "I just received the order from the young marshal. He ordered me to withdraw from Fengtian and go to Peiping." As soon as Huang Xiansheng said this, dozens of officers at all levels exploded.  The officer who had spoken earlier said anxiously: "Virgo, what will we do if you leave?" "Yes, Virgo, what will we do if you leave?" A group of officers at all levels  They all echoed.  Huang Xiansheng helplessly raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "Brothers, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say." "First of all, as soldiers, we must first obey orders as our bounden duty, don't you think so?" Huang Xiansheng said in another voice.  asked thoughtfully.  The officers did not speak, but nodded in agreement.  "Then I will announce now that from now on, you will be under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xinghan. From now on, he will lead you to continue to defend Fengtian City and continue to fulfill your oath and responsibility to defend Fengtian and live and die with Fengtian." Huang Xiansheng  Said: "I hope all brothers can obey my order for the last time, because the battle between Beida Camp and Fengtian City has proven that Lieutenant Colonel Zhang is both wise and courageous. He is definitely the best choice to command you." "Chu  "Sir" Some officers were a little reluctant. After all, they had followed Huang Xiansheng for a long time and had great loyalty and admiration for Huang Xiansheng in their hearts. It was somewhat difficult for them to accept the sudden change of commander.  Huang Xiansheng didn't wait for them to finish speaking. He waved his hand to stop them and said, "Stop talking. I just said it. As soldiers, our first priority is to absolutely obey the orders of our commanders and superiors. I am evacuating Fengtian and going to Peking. You can stay and follow Zhang Xinghan."  Continue to defend the city, that's right!" After saying that, Huang Xiansheng glanced at all his subordinates with stern eyes.  The officers had no choice but to stand up and say: "Yes!" Huang Xiansheng nodded with satisfaction, then glanced sideways at Zhang Xinghan, gesturing for him to speak.  How could Zhang Xinghan not understand his intention and not refuse, he immediately stepped out, first stood at attention and saluted everyone, and then asked loudly: "Brothers, tell us, are you soldiers?" The officers looked up in confusion.  He looked at Zhang Xinghan, then looked left and right, and then said perfunctorily: "Of course!" "Then please tell me, which army are you from?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.  "Northeast Army, Northeast Army." The officers replied again with some dissatisfaction.  "Well, very good. You still remember that you are a soldier, a member of the Northeast Army." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and then his tone suddenly changed: "Then you still remember that as a soldier, especially as a Northeast Army, our responsibilities  What is it?" Without waiting for the officers to answer, Zhang Xinghan continued to shout: "Our duty is to protect the 30 million elders in the three eastern provinces and to protect the more than one million square kilometers of land in the three eastern provinces from infringement. Now the Japanese  The troops came to Fengtian City,Tiancheng is in danger. As soldiers, our first thought should be how to repel them, instead of worrying about who your commander is and who is commanding you.  Because, I, Zhang Xinghan, can tell you responsibly that from this moment on, I will be with you in life and death, sharing weal and woe, and I will lead you to swear to live and die together with Fengtian!  " The officers' eyes changed when they looked at Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan's words seemed to arouse the dormant blood in their bodies and ignited their enthusiasm to protect their homes and the country. Wang Yicai on the side saw this and took advantage of the situation to raise his arms and shout: "Oath to Fengtian  Live or die together!  I swear to live and die with Fengtian!  " Finally, under the influence of Wang Yicai's sonorous and powerful shouts, the officers raised their arms and shouted: "Swear to live and die with Fengtian!  I swear to live and die with Fengtian!  " Not long after, the more than a hundred guards on guard around them couldn't help but roar in unison. In the dark night, the roars of nearly two hundred officers and soldiers reverberated throughout Fengtian City. They used their roars to tell Fengtian City that it was early.  Hundreds of thousands of compatriots who have been awakened and unable to sleep, their Northeastern Army will not escape alone, will not leave them alone, they will swear to live and die with Fengtian! Feeling the catharsis and shouting from the hearts of the officers and soldiers, stand beside Zhang Xinghan!  Huang Xiansheng beside him showed a happy smile. This unit was handed over to Zhang Xinghan. That's right. After officially taking over the command of all the defenders in the city from Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan immediately moved his headquarters to the south gate in the direction of the Japanese army's main attack.  After setting up his headquarters in an empty private house, Zhang Xinghan urgently summoned Wang Yicai, Liu Jianguo and others, and told them: "Yicai, Jianguo, now I will arrange a place for you two.  This is a particularly important task, and you must complete it at all costs, because it is crucial to our ability to defend Fengtian City in the future.  " "Well, Xinghan, just tell us what happened, and we will definitely do our best.  "Wang Yicai nodded solemnly. "Yes, camp, just give me whatever you want.  "Liu Jianguo also nodded in agreement. "Okay, first of all, you two must immediately lead a team of people to the Shenyang Arsenal and the airport to control them tightly. Note that when controlling the aircraft and the airport, you must report to the aviation team.  Explain and ask their commander Gao Zhihang to come to the headquarters immediately. I have important matters to discuss with him.  Seeing the two men nodding and writing them down one by one, Zhang Xinghan added: "In addition, after completing the above matters, you must quickly send someone to contact the students and instructors at the Northeast Lecture Hall and bring them all to our city defense headquarters.  I have important arrangements!  "    "yes!  "The two of them saluted at the same time and were about to take the order and leave. Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside. The three heard the sound and ran away. They saw the first company commander Liu Guodong running in in a hurry. Before he could stand at attention, he reported to Zhang Xinghan:  "Battalion, it's not good. After hearing that Huang Xiansheng was ordered to retreat, Commander Rong Ziheng of the Marshal's Guard Battalion wanted to take the Guard Battalion out of the city to evacuate, but was stopped by the Second Company Commander. Now the two sides have entered a confrontation. The situation is extremely serious.  It's urgent!  "    "who?  Rong Ziheng?  "Zhang Xinghan has never heard of this person in his historical memory. He doesn't even know the original memory of this body. What kind of unknown person appears from there? "Oh, Xinghan, this Rong Ziheng is the staff officer of our Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The son of Chang Rongzhen.  "Wang Yicai, who serves as the police chief in Fengtian, naturally cannot fail to recognize a typical second-generation official like Rong Ziheng, so he explained. "Rong Zhen?  Is that the big smoker's son?  A hint of cold murderous intent appeared in the corner of Zhang Xinghan's mouth, and he said solemnly: "First company commander, gather the troops and follow me!"  "    "yes!  "Liu Guodong agreed with a bang. "Xing Han, his father is a popular person around the young marshal, and Rong Ziheng himself is also a close confidant of the young marshal. This matter cannot be handled too harshly.  "Wang Yicai was afraid that Zhang Xinghan would do something impulsive in anger, so he kindly reminded him. "I know.  "Zhang Xinghan responded and strode out with Liu Guodong. Before they were far away, a voice came: "Yi Cai, Jianguo, you two don't have to worry about this. Go and do the things I asked you to do quickly.  ” PS: First of all, thank you to Tianhai League for your continued rewards, and then thank you to sister enigmayanxi and Little Sword Fairy 2 for your generous rewards. Now let’s talk about the updates. In the past two days, there have been one update of about 3,000 to 4,000 words, and the number of words in the update is not much.  Qiu Feng is very ashamed because she said she would work hard to update after posting the recommendation. But maybe it’s because I haven’t coded for a long time, or maybe I’ve read too many novels. Now, the code is really not as fast as before, and I find myself getting faster and faster.  The more I struggle with it, the more I feel pain. I used to write a chapter and basically finished it in one go. But now I always stop writing. I am always afraid that what I wrote is a common sense mistake, that is unreasonable, or that I am not satisfied with.  Wait.?Whenever I write about what I wrote before, I have never thought about it in advance. I almost always improvise, and the consequences are also there, that is, it ends in an anticlimactic manner. In the end, it is unsustainable and can only be eunuch or unfinished.  But this novel is different. It was a novel that was conceived and conceived more than a year ago. After more than a year of study and preparation, Qiu Feng thinks that his writing is slightly better than before.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????… ???????????? All in all, I feel pretty good about writing now, and I no longer feel like I don’t know what to write in the next chapter. Every time I finish writing a chapter, I have a general direction and preparation for the next one.  I think everyone should also know that this book should have reached the first big and high level by now.  During the time when the September 18th Incident broke out, I wanted to present him as authentically as possible, and of course, allow the protagonist to change the historical outcome that we don't want to see as naturally and reasonably as possible.  This requires a clear understanding and rough description of the Northeastern Army at all levels inside and outside the city at that time. This is very laborious. The editor told me that the first part of the novel is like laying the foundation for building a building.  Failure to do important things well will definitely have a great impact on future results.  I absolutely agree with this. If it is written with passion and enthusiasm, and updated suddenly, the number of words will increase when updated, but the quality and the continuation of the subsequent content will have a great impact.  Therefore, before it is put on the shelves, I will try my best to keep updating five to six thousand words a day. Of course, I will go all out to ensure the quality of writing. Occasionally, I will save some manuscripts for emergencies.  As for after it is put on the shelves, I will definitely explode. Empire originally updated 300,000 to 400,000 words per month. I think everyone should know that, so there is no need to worry about whether there will be explosive updates after it is put on the shelves.  Of course, under the premise of all this, everyone still needs to support Qiu Feng and encourage me. I am like what the saying says, a bitch is just a fucking pretentious person. I just like people to praise me and encourage me, but I don’t like others to criticize me.  , When you praise me, I may be full of strength; when you criticize me, I may feel like a deflated rubber ball.  My editor knows this, so he often encourages me!  Smirk (*^__^*).  I just want to ask everyone to be more tolerant and understanding, and then collect and vote for it. I will work hard. This book will never be unfinished again. The eunuch is so awesome, because this book is my collection of character and character.  A book about integrity, as long as everyone is willing to support it and give Qiu Feng a chance to be a new person, I think I will work hard to satisfy everyone.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 21: Bloodshed and the Lonely City (3)

    The South-Manchuria Railway runs through the north and south of Shenyang. Therefore, when the Japanese army launched an attack on Beidaying and Shenyang City a few hours ago, the direction of the attack was to the south and north of Shenyang City.  Xinmin is in the southwest of Shenyang. If you want to evacuate Shenyang and go to Jinzhou, Xinmin must pass through. Therefore, when Rong Ziheng and his guard battalion planned to leave the city, they took the west gate.  Knowing that Ximen might be the last escape route for Shenyang’s military and civilians, Zhang Xinghan ordered Second Company Commander Gao Chu to lead his officers and soldiers to Ximen quickly when he took over the command from Huang Xiansheng and took over the defense of Ximen.  Rong Ziheng wanted to lead his troops to evacuate. Without Zhang Xinghan's order, Gao Chu would not let him go. The two sides immediately confronted each other. In terms of numbers, Rong Ziheng's guard battalion suffered considerable losses in the battle to guard Fengtian, but there were still some  There are more than 500 people, and as Zhang Xueliang's trusted guards, all of them are elite men who have experienced battles for a long time. They are also very well-equipped. Some of the guards are also equipped with MP18 submachine guns.  The number of the second company in Gaochu was less than half that of Rong Ziheng's guard, so they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. However, the second company occupied the city wall and had a commanding position.  This is also the reason why Rong Ziheng did not forcefully seize the door, and the two sides continued to confront each other.  "Brother, we met by chance, and the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. What's the matter, please make it easier?" Rong Ziheng suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled at Gao Chu on the top of the city.  "Sir Rong, I'm really sorry. I was ordered by our camp. Oh, no, he should be the city defense commander of Fengtian City now. He has taken over the defense of Fengtian West Gate under the order of the commander. Without the commander's order, any  People are not allowed to come in and out without authorization, so I ask Sir Rong not to embarrass his humble position," Gao Chu politely declined.  As soon as Gao Chu mentioned Zhang Xinghan, Rong Ziheng became angry and immediately snorted with disdain: "Humph, what a bullshit garrison commander. It's just Huang Xiansheng who made the decision without authorization. When I return to Peking, I will report it to the young marshal and let them  Both of them can't eat and walk around!" After saying that, Rong Ziheng raised his head and said to Gao Chu: "Brother, I think you are a loyal man, and I will tell you the truth, the young marshal has no idea at all.  We plan to go to war with Japan, and now that the Japanese have captured most of the towns along the South Manchuria Railway except Fengtian, it is meaningless for us to continue to hold on. Instead of staying here and waiting to die, it is better to be ordered to evacuate to Jinzhou.  , as long as you let me out of the city, I can take you and your brothers together. When we get to Jinzhou, I will ask the young marshal for your merit. In the future, my brothers will have an unlimited future and enjoy endless glory and wealth!" "  Sir Rong, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. When I was young, my parents said that if I didn't have the blessings in my life, I would have a poor life. My parents also said that as a human being, you have to have backbone and become a soldier.  We have to have more backbone and cannot insult the word soldier. Therefore, if we are asked to leave hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City and escape alone, we really can't do it, because that is what a coward without eggs would do.  Well, we are capable men, we would rather die than be cowards!" Gao Chu sneered.  "You!" Rong Ziheng is so smart, how could he not hear Gao Chu's sarcasm, and immediately said with a black face: "Okay, since you are shameless, don't blame me for my bullets not having eyes, brother  "Come on, let's get out of the city!" "Let's see who dares to take action!" At this time, a loud shout came from the direction of the city, and the hesitant officers and soldiers of the guard camp immediately stopped and turned their heads.  Look.  Rong Ziheng was no exception. When he looked back, he saw a large number of heavily armed Northeastern officers and soldiers holding torches in the dark, rushing towards him with great momentum. They quickly rushed forward, and the muzzles of black holes were blasting away.  Aimed at them.  Many officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion subconsciously turned their guns and formed a confrontation with them.  "Surround them all, and don't let any of them go." Zhang Xinghan waved and shouted while riding on a military horse.  "Who are you? Dare to besiege the young marshal's guard?" Rong Ziheng was not present when Huang Xiansheng summoned his men to give up power to Zhang Xinghan, because at that time, he had already established contact with his father Rong Zhen and refused to resist the young marshal.  He was aware of Zhang Xinghan's attitude and the situation in Liaoning, and was planning to evacuate Fengtian. Therefore, he did not know Zhang Xinghan.  "Zhang Xinghan, commander of Fengtian City Defense!" Zhang Xinghan replied coldly.  "Ah! Are you worthy of being the commander of Fengtian's city defense? Who gave you the power? Without the official appointment of the marshal, how dare you call yourself the commander of Fengtian's city defense?" Rong Ziheng cursed angrily, full of foul language.  "Rong, please keep your fucking mouth clean. How can our camp be compared to you, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Guodong, the company commander, yelled angrily.  Rong Ziheng secretly calculated the strength comparison between the two sides while speaking before, and found that with the addition of the people Zhang Xinghan brought this time,He still had a certain advantage in terms of military strength, so he could not help but arrogantly snorted: "Humph! Who do you think you are? You dare to yell at me here, I am the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, I  Dad is the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. If you are sensible, please get out of my way and let me and my brother out of the city. Otherwise, I will make it difficult for you to walk around." "If you have the guts, give it a try."  ? !" Gao Chu shouted in a deep voice with murderous intent in his eyes. Before he could finish his words, the dozens of light machine guns on the top of the city opened their safety guards and were ready to fire at any time.  "Please be patient." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to be impulsive, and immediately turned his gaze to Rong Ziheng and his subordinates. After staring for a long time, Zhang Xinghan said: "Captain Rong, I think of you as Young Marshal.  For the sake of the captain of the guard, I can forget about this matter today and leave alone." "What?" Rong Ziheng was startled for a moment, then raised his head and laughed: "What the hell are you going to do about it?  ? What are you pursuing me for? Don’t say I’m not guilty. Even if I’m guilty, it’s not your turn. Why do you think so?” Zhang Xinghan didn’t say anything, but quickly pulled out his pistol.  , shot Rong Ziheng in the leg in a flash of lightning.  "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Rong Ziheng suddenly howled miserably. His right leg was hit by a bullet, and he half-knelt down involuntarily.  Under the severe pain, Rong Ziheng became furious. He raised his head and his eyes almost burst out with fire, "Zhang, I'm going to kill you, uncle. I'm going to kill you. Open fire on me!" "Rong Ziheng escaped from the battlefield. I  Severe punishment is imposed on the commander's orders. Anyone who dares to shoot without permission will be treated as the same crime and will be punished on the spot!" Zhang Xinghan shouted hurriedly.  The guards officers and soldiers who were about to take action fell into hesitation when they heard this. After all, they were now surrounded by Zhang Xinghan's troops, and they didn't know whether what Zhang Xinghan said was true or false. However, they still heard that Zhang Xinghan was appointed by Huang Xiansheng to take over the post of city defense commander.  Understand.  Zhang Xinghan did not go to see Rong Ziheng again, but said solemnly to the guards officers and soldiers: "Brothers, the national crisis is at hand, and I don't want to talk to you too much about it. I just want to ask you, as a general  The handsome and young marshal's guards, the marshal was killed by a Japanese conspiracy, and now the Japanese want to seize our land in the three eastern provinces, can you just have the heart to sit back and do nothing? The marshal's blood feud has not been avenged, and the city of Shenyang is in danger. How can you do that?  Just walk away?" Faced with Zhang Xinghan's heart-wrenching questions, many guards officers and soldiers lowered their heads in shame. Most of them were deeply grateful to the Zhang family. Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing, and they served as his bodyguards.  The guards were naturally filled with righteous indignation and were always looking forward to revenge.  But there has always been no chance, and now the Japanese are aggressively attacking Northeast China. If they have a choice, they would rather stay in Shenyang City until they die in battle, rather than retreat in despair.  "Zhang, I will kill you!" Seeing that his subordinates did not take action, Rong Ziheng endured the severe pain, raised his gun with difficulty and roared at Zhang Xinghan.  "Pa" There was another gunshot, and Rong Ziheng was shot again in the arm. He fell to the ground immediately, and blood surged out from the two wounds, quickly staining a large area of ??the ground red.  "You're such a bastard. You escaped from battle and tried to murder the commander of the city defense. That's an extra degree of crime." Liu Guodong put away his pistol and cursed disdainfully.  "As a captain of the Guard, Rong Ziheng does not want to serve the country, let alone avenge the commander-in-chief. Instead, he only thinks about escaping. Now I arrest him in the name of the commander of the city defense. I will deal with him after the Japanese army is defeated.  From now on, other guards officers and soldiers will return to the unified command of the city defense headquarters, and together with the entire city defenders, they will defend Fengtian to the death, and we will live and die with Fengtian! No one is allowed to retreat even half a step without an order, and those who disobey the order will be severely punished!" Zhang Xinghan!  After saying that, with a wave of his hand, two burly soldiers came forward and arrested Rong Ziheng.  The guards officers and soldiers did not stop him, but lowered their heads and turned a blind eye. It was not that they were afraid of Zhang Xinghan, but that they were all passionate patriots, and they were full of passion. In terms of national justice and personal emotions, they obviously chose the former.  "I would rather die in battle and be shrouded in horse leather than live in an ignoble existence and retreat to the pass. This is the truest thought in the hearts of these members of the Northeast Army's most elite unit at this time.  PS: Thanks to the Dream League, Tianhai League and Brother Muzhu for the reward. Thank you all. I have a buddy who is going out tomorrow and I will practice it for him tonight, so this is the update today.  Please excuse me!

    "My surname is Zhang. The retreat was ordered by the young marshal. Why do you frame me for escaping from the battle? My father is Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Army. If you dare to hurt me, my father will never let you go." Rong Ziheng  Seeing his subordinates sitting back and watching him being caught, he yelled in anger and unwillingness.  "Rong Ziheng's nonsense confuses the people and shakes the morale of the army!" Zhang Xinghan shouted coldly with a stern look on his head: "Kill!" After saying that, he rode away on his horse without looking back.  Without any hesitation, Liu Guodong raised his pistol and pointed it at Rong Ziheng's head.  Feeling Liu Guodong's obvious murderous intention, Rong Ziheng finally realized his fear, and begged for mercy with some trembling: "Don't kill me, please don't kill me, as long as you let me live, I promise to thank you! And today's  "The matter is wiped out." "Rong, don't think that everyone is as virtuous as you and your Rong family. What if you are rich and powerful? You are not the first scum to run away when the country is in trouble."  Quick? People like you will probably become traitors in the future, so for the sake of the country and the nation, just go to the Palace of Hell and report honestly." Liu Guodong decisively pulled the trigger.  A Mauser pistol bullet was fired into Rong Ziheng's head with a pop. The bullet was violently tumbling in his mind and instantly shredded his brain tissue. Rong Ziheng died on the spot and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, his eyes opened wide.  Boss, a disgusting mixture of red and white flowed from his terrifying wound.  Seeing this, many guards officers and soldiers were immediately silent, and felt a little more awe of Zhang Xinghan in their hearts.  "Who is the deputy captain of the guard battalion?" Liu Guodong asked in a loud voice after finishing his work.  "I am!" A major officer responded and saluted.  "Brother, take your people and follow me to the city defense headquarters." Liu Guodong saluted and said to him with a solemn hand.  The major officer immediately turned to the guards and shouted loudly: "Everyone is here. The rear team will change to the front team and run forward." More than 500 guards officers and soldiers put away their guns and quickly re-lined up and followed under the leadership of the major officer.  Liu Guodong and the others ran towards the city defense headquarters.  …………………………………………………………………………… The Zhang Family Residence.  The liaison officer of the Seventh Brigade of the Communist Party of China, who was ordered from outside the city to enter the city overnight to look for Wang Yizhe, finally found the Zhang family residence and reported it through the guards.  Wang Yizhe, who had already gone to bed to rest, quickly got up and ran out of the bedroom without even putting on his shoes. He asked the liaison officer: "How is it? How is the situation in the army now?" "Reporting to the brigade, everything in the army is fine.  In the battle of Beidaying, the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment blocked the Japanese attack, allowing the main force of our brigade to evacuate calmly, so we did not suffer any major losses. However, the 3rd Battalion, which was responsible for blocking, made a great contribution and killed all the Japanese who attacked Beidaying.  Got it done." The liaison officer saluted and replied.  "I already know about the 3rd Battalion." Wang Yizhe nodded.  "Then, when do you plan to evacuate Fengtian?" the liaison officer said: "Before I came here, the Chief of Staff told me that the Marshal has clearly instructed the defenders in our three northeastern provinces not to resist if the Japanese attack them.  Everyone retreats until the Nine-Nation Pact comes forward to mediate. "I also know all this. After finishing one thing tomorrow morning, I will lead the guards to evacuate. You go back and tell the chief of staff to make all preparations. I will be there tomorrow.  Dongshan Zuizi will join you." Wang Yizhe waved his hands somewhat distractedly, obviously very dissatisfied with Marshal Zhang's passive attitude of not resisting.  "Yes." The liaison officer nodded, and then said: "By the way, Brigade, when I came here, I heard that the city defense commander Huang Xiansheng had just transferred all the command of the city's defenders to Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment.  "Do you know that he will take over the command and continue to defend Fengtian City?" "Huh? There is also this matter?" Wang Yizhe was obviously surprised, and then frowned: "Now Fengtian City has  It has become an isolated city. Director Huang gave the troops to this boy Xinghan. Isn't it a harm to him? " "Why do you say that?" the liaison officer asked in confusion.  "Zhang Xinghan is my son-in-law. I know his character very well. If I let him lead the troops to defend Fengtian City, he will definitely fight to the death as his loyalty comes first. If so, won't my Ruoying be widowed?" Wang Yizhe,  The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. In his opinion, Fengtian City would definitely not be able to hold on now that it was over. If he insisted on holding on, he would not only lose his life in vain, but he would also be charged with disobeying the commander's military orders.  Rather than doing this, why would you choose this thankless approach?  "No, no, liaison officer, you return to the brigade headquarters immediately and ask Chief of Staff Zhao to send a message to the marshal in my name, asking him to send a message to Zhang Xinghan?A retreat order was issued, strictly ordering Zhang Xinghan to abandon Fengtian and withdraw to Jinzhou with our **7th Brigade.  "Wang Yizhe ordered immediately. "Okay, I will go back now."  "The liaison officer nodded and saluted and left. After seeing off the liaison officer, Wang Yizhe paced back and forth with a frown on his face. After thinking for a moment, he shouted behind him: "Adjutant, take your people and follow me to the city defense commander.  department.  "    "yes!  "Wang Yizhe's adjutant responded quickly and quickly gathered the guards. Wang Yizhe's move woke up Wang Ruoying, who was already worried. Zhang's mother Liu Liping naturally followed him out of the room, and Zhang Yuxi was no exception. "Dad, where are you going?  ?  "As soon as Wang Ruoying came out of the wing, she saw the guards gathering in the yard and asked quickly. Wang Yizhe looked at Wang Ruoying and the Zhang couple, sighed and said, "Oh, I just got the news that Xinghan was appointed by Huang Xiansheng as the leader of Fengtian City.  I am the city defense commander. Today, Fengtian City is an isolated city. Xinghan is a stubborn boy. I am worried that he will do something stupid like fighting to the death and sticking to Fengtian, so I plan to go to him personally and persuade him.  .  " "Then I'll go too.  Wang Ruoying said. "Brother, we are going too."  "Zhang Yuxi said firmly. "Oh, okay, let's go together.  "Wang Yizhe couldn't help but sigh. ……………………………… In history, when the September 18th Incident broke out, as the Northeast Army's air force, it was fashionable and considered to have more than 300 aircraft.  It has advanced fighter jets and has a large number of outstanding pilots. It also suffered a total annihilation due to its policy of non-resistance. As the main commander of this air force, Gao Zhihang witnessed the formation of the air force of the three northeastern provinces, which cost countless financial, manpower and material resources.  The entire army was wiped out in the night, and after years of hard work were ruined, he was disheartened and repatriated his family to their place of origin. From then on, he embarked on the road of loyalty to the country, and later became the greatest hero of the Chinese nation during the anti-Japanese war.  Air Force hero, and eventually died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for the country. At this time, due to the emergence of Zhang Xinghan, history was undergoing slight changes. Because Zhang Xinghan severely damaged the Japanese army, it forced the Japanese army to temporarily retreat, so that Fengtian City did not fall as in history.  . Similarly, the Shenyang Airport was still under the control of the Northeast Army. When Liu Jianguo and Wang Yicai rushed to the airport, Gao Zhihang and his air force comrades were anxiously waiting at the airport for orders to guard the airport.  The army has a reinforced battalion with a strength of 700, well-equipped, and equipped with a batch of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and other powerful weapons. After arriving at the airport, Wang Yicai and Liu Jianguo immediately presented the order from the Fengtian City Defense Commander, ordering the airport garrison battalion to stand by.  Resolutely safeguard the safety of Shenyang Airport, and then conveyed Zhang Xinghan’s order to Gao Zhihang. After listening to Wang Yicai’s explanation, Gao Zhihang happily stated: “Since Chief Zhang has taken over the position of Fengtian City Defense Commander, Gao Zhihang should obey.  command.  "After learning about Zhang Xinghan's heroic performance in Beida Camp and Fengtian City, Gao Zhihang admired him endlessly. "Major Gao, please come back to the headquarters with me first. The commander has important matters to discuss with you.  "Liu Jianguo took the opportunity and said. "Okay, I'll follow you right away.  "Gao Zhihang happily agreed and nodded. PS: I have to do something tomorrow (find a job for my uncle). The update is expected to return to normal the day after tomorrow.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 23: Bloodshed and the Lonely City (5)

    Liu Zhenhu is one of the eleventh batch of infantry science trainees of the Northeast Military Academy. He is now 22 years old. He was originally a captain company commander of the 23rd Brigade of the Northeast Army. He was later selected by the Northeast Military Academy and became the eleventh trainee.  , entered the Northeast Lecture Hall and began further studies.  The Northeast Military Academy is now located in Dongdaying, Shenyang City. After two generations of continuous development by the Zhang family, the Northeast Military Academy has become the largest military education institution in the country.  It has the ability to train the three branches of the army, navy and air force. At the same time, the Northeast Military Academy was established eighteen years earlier than the Whampoa Military Academy founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. So far, it has been established for twenty-five years.  Over the past twenty-five years, it has trained a large number of middle and lower-level officers for the Northeastern Army commanded by Zhang and his son, and has made immeasurable contributions to the regularization of the Northeastern Army and the improvement of its combat effectiveness.  In this eleventh issue, the Shenyang branch of the Northeast Military Academy has recruited more than 2,300 new students, the largest number in history. This does not include the Peking, Harbin and Changchun branches. If added together, the number of new students in the eleventh period alone  There must be at least three to four thousand students.  When the Japanese army attacked Fengtian City, more than 700 trainees from the Infantry Section of Northeast Jiangwu Hall spontaneously entered the city to join the defenders and participated in the resistance battle at night.  Now they have basically become an important backbone of the garrison. However, most of the trainees are still stranded in Dongda Camp without clear instructions, not knowing what to do.  Since the defenders have all been transferred to defend the city, the current guards of Dongda Camp are taken by current students in turns.  Liu Zhenhu and several companions were appointed as the first team of patrol guards, and at this time they were responsible for guarding the gate of Dongda Camp.  On the wall, Liu Zhenhu and several companions patrolled back and forth boredly.  At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the searchlights on the wall were still on, driving away the remaining darkness of night, making the entire Dongdaying as bright as day.  "Dong, dong, dong," a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded in vain. Liu Zhenhu and others were shocked when they heard the sound. They took off their guns and looked outside the gate. They saw a group of Northeastern Army cavalry running from the east gate of Shenyang City.  "It's one of our own, put down the gun." After Liu Zhenhu saw the person clearly, he ordered his companions.  In the blink of an eye, the cavalry team rushed outside the gate of Dongda Camp. The leader was Liu Jianguo, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment. Liu Jianguo held the reins of his horse, stood on the horse and shouted to Liu Zhenhu and others: "I am the **th cavalryman."  Major Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jianguo of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade has come here on special orders from the new city defense commander Zhang Xinghan to inform you that all the current students of the Jiangwu Hall will immediately bring all their equipment and facilities and enter the city quickly, waiting for dispatch! " "Sir Liu, I'm humble!  It’s Liu Zhenhu, captain of the 2nd Company of the 25th Regiment of the 23rd Brigade of the Northeast Army!” Liu Zhenhu saluted quickly.  "Captain Liu, hurry up and inform your leaders of the command from the headquarters. Time is running out. Please follow me into the city quickly." Liu Jianguo returned the greeting.  "Sir, you don't know something. Our chief of education went to the city for a banquet yesterday and never returned. I don't know who to report to because of my humble position." Liu Zhenhu said.  "That's it, then who has the highest official position in your martial arts hall now?" Liu Jianguo frowned and asked.  "I can't explain this humble position clearly. We have more than 2,300 trainees in this period, most of whom are middle and low-level officers of our Northeast Army and a group of outstanding sergeants. There are so many officers and lieutenants in the school, so I don't know who has the highest official position even in this humble position.  ." Liu Zhenhu replied with a guilty look.  "Oh, in that case, open the door immediately, take my people with you, and inform all students, regardless of rank, to pack up and enter the city. Just say that this is an order from Fengtian City Defense Headquarters. If you disobey, you will be punished according to military law.  !" Liu Jianguo said with a solemn expression.  "Yes!" Liu Zhenhu agreed loudly and quickly ordered someone to open the door of the martial arts hall.  Since the students were all at a loss, Zhang Xinghan's order was quickly implemented by all the students. They did not know the situation in Fengtian Province at this time, did not know that Fengtian City had become an isolated city, and they did not know that their young commander  A retreat order has been issued.  In their opinion, Shenyang City should be safe for the time being at least with garrison garrison, so they all followed Liu Jianguo into the city happily.  In Fengtian City, Zhang Xinghan was returning to the headquarters on a war horse with several guards. On the road, patrols ordered to maintain law and order passed by from time to time. When they saw Zhang Xinghan, the patrols stopped and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and returned the greetings one by one, which wasted some time. Because of this gap, Liu Guodong rushed up with his troops and the officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion who had just been stopped.  "The camp has been settled." After catching up with Zhang Xinghan's mount, First Company Commander Liu Guodong reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded expressionlessly: "Go back to the headquarters." After saying that, he waved his whip and whipped it hard. The horse felt pain and immediately spread its hooves.??Run forward.  Looking at Zhang Xinghan's running back, Liu Guodong wanted to say something, but did not say it. Rong Ziheng was dead, but as the only son of Northeast Army Chief of Staff Rong Zhen and the captain of the bodyguard of Marshal Zhang Xueliang, Liu Guodong always felt that,  This matter won't just settle down like this.  It was precisely because of this that he wanted to remind Zhang Xinghan to do something in advance to avoid being passive in the future.  In fact, how could Zhang Xinghan not know about Liu Guodong’s concerns?  Originally considering this level of stakes, Zhang Xinghan had no intention of killing Rong Ziheng. In any case, his father was the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Army, and he himself was Zhang Xueliang's confidant. He killed him without permission. From then on, he and Rong Zhen  The hatred is settled, and trouble is bound to happen.  But this is also a helpless move. If Rong Ziheng does not die, it will be difficult for him to successfully control the guard camp, and it will be difficult for such an elite team to play its due role in the subsequent bloody battle.  “Also, killing Rong Ziheng will serve as a warning to others and establish his prestige completely and stably.  As for subduing Rong Ziheng, Zhang Xinghan was not sure. Rong Ziheng had a prominent family background in the Northeast Army, his father held a high position, and he was highly regarded by the young marshal as his confidant. How could he be willing to obey Zhang Xinghan's command?  After all, Zhang Xinghan is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a time traveler, he is still an ordinary time traveler. He does not have the slightest aura of tyranny in him, but only full of passion and various advanced knowledge and knowledge that are more than 70 years ahead of this time and space.  The predicted direction of history.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan also has the biggest advantage, which is his watch that can provide unlimited ammunition, but this can only be regarded as Zhang Xinghan's secret in the closet, and it is not visible to others.  It is even more impossible to use it to recruit younger brothers to expand the army, at least not for now.  When Zhang Xinghan galloped on horseback and approached the headquarters, he spotted a few people who had just stepped out of a jeep, some of his closest relatives in this time and space.  Parents, fiancée and his Shangfeng brigade commander Wang Yizhe.  Wang Ruoying turned around when she heard the sound of horse hooves. When she saw her beloved, dressed in military uniform and riding a war horse, galloping majestically, tears began to well up in her eyes.  After being startled for a moment, Zhang Xinghan immediately turned over and dismounted. Guards had already come forward to lead the horse, and Liu Guodong and hundreds of soldiers also arrived behind him.  Zhang Xinghan looked back at his subordinates who crowded the entire street, and strode towards Wang Ruoying and the others with their heads held high.

    "Seat in the hotel!" Zhang Xinghan first saluted Wang Yizhe, and then knelt down to the two elders beside him: "Parents, my unfilial son is lucky to have survived, but due to busy military affairs, he failed to report in time, which worried the two elders. I hope you will forgive me.  "Sin!" "Get up quickly." Zhang Yuxi and his wife looked at their son who had not seen them for many days with surprise. They didn't know what to say. His son had always behaved well and had no outstanding performance.  He is a qualified ordinary soldier.  But they never imagined that he, who was usually taciturn, could play such a huge role in the face of a national crisis, turn the tide from falling, help the building from falling, and make the first contribution to the defense of the home and country.  After helping Zhang Xinghan up, Zhang Yuxi glanced at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Ruoying has been worried about you all night, and she hasn't rested yet." Zhang Xinghan nodded knowingly and walked towards Wang Ruoying.  "You are stupid." Zhang Xinghan said with a serious look on his face, showing a trace of reproach and pity.  "I do." Wang Ruoying held back tears and pretended to be stubborn.  "You have to retreat with the brigade later, so that I won't worry and can direct the battle with all my strength." Zhang Xinghan said cruelly.  "I don't!" Wang Ruoying refused directly, and then looked at Zhang Xinghan with tearful eyes and said word by word: "If you die for the country, I will accompany you. I don't want to live together, but I want to die together." Looking at the infatuated man in front of him.  The deepest woman, Zhang Xinghan, who has been living in the money society of later generations, was filled with infinite emotion.  In this era, as a soldier whose life is unpredictable, what more can I ask for when I have such a beautiful confidante?  Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xinghan hugged Wang Ruoying into his arms and repeated firmly with tears in his eyes: "I don't want to live together, but I want to die together!"  ……… Knowing that he still had a lot to do next, Zhang Xinghan sent his parents and Wang Ruoying home to wait for him, while he walked into the headquarters with Wang Yizhe, who had something to say.  As soon as he entered the headquarters, Wang Yizhe said to Zhang Xinghan earnestly: "Xinghan, I think you should be aware of the current situation, right? Tieling, Yingkou, Siping and other important towns along the South Manchuria Railway have fallen to the Japanese.  Changchun is also in danger. Shenyang is now an isolated city. I have contacted the young marshal. The young marshal means to abandon Shenyang immediately and withdraw the entire army to Jinzhou. So, don’t insist on the city defense of Shenyang.  Commander, please stop being the commander. This is a thankless position. If Shenyang is lost, you will be a national sinner. In order to deal with public opinion and give an explanation to the people, the young marshal will definitely treat you as a scapegoat. Then I will  I can't protect you." Zhang Xinghan naturally understood Wang Yizhe's good intentions, and immediately said: "But, Mr. Rong, I just killed Rong Ziheng, so even if I am ordered to evacuate, Marshal Rong and Chief of Staff will not let him go.  "Me." "What? Did you kill Rong Ziheng?" Wang Yizhe's expression changed dramatically.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously.  "Oops!" Wang Yizhe suddenly became very angry and paused: "Why are you so confused? Why did you kill Rong Ziheng? Don't you know that his father is Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army? Besides,  He is still the captain of the young marshal's personal guard. Think about it, if he can become the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, can his relationship with the young marshal be worse? "You are getting into trouble. You should never kill me."  Rong Ziheng!  He is still the only child of the Rong family, and Chief of Staff Rong will definitely not give up.  " "He disobeyed military orders and escaped from the battlefield without authorization. I dealt with him in accordance with military law.  "Zhang Xinghan said disapprovingly. "Military law?  Military law punishes ordinary officers and soldiers who have no backing. Rong Ziheng is obviously not among them, and the retreat is the young marshal's intention. As the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, he, Rong Ziheng, commands the guard battalion. Is he following the young marshal's order?  Retreat, this is still unknown, how could you kill him so hastily?  "Wang Yizhe asked anxiously with sweat on his face. "It's just a coward. If you kill him, kill him. All of the young marshal's guard battalions are elite, loyal and brave men. If you hand them over to such a person as the commander, it is because the young marshal has no knowledge.  People are wise, and I think it is a pity that such elite soldiers and generals did not stay in Shenyang and fight the Japanese army to the death, but retreated to Jinzhou in embarrassment.  Zhang Xinghan said this, paused and said to Wang Yizhe with determination: "Brigade seat, our ** Seventh Brigade still has tens of thousands of elites. In addition to the thousands of military police left by Director Huang in the city, the strength is nearly 20,000."  In addition, there are a large number of retired soldiers and young adults in Shenyang City. As long as we open the warehouse of Shenyang Arsenal, these people can be quickly expanded into an army. As for officers, there are students who have not yet graduated from the Northeast Lecture Hall in Dongda Camp this term.  More than two thousand people, absolutely fineWith them as the backbone, the newly formed troops can quickly form combat effectiveness.  Most importantly, we still have the Air Force.  The Japanese Kwantung Army, plus their newly formed retired soldiers in the countryside, has a total strength of only about 20,000. They attack in all directions, and their strength is extremely scattered. The maximum number of troops that can be used to attack Shenyang is 10,000.  As long as we work together to fight to the death, the outcome of the Battle of Shenyang is yet to be determined. And once we hold Shenyang, if the Marshal can mobilize the main force of our Northeastern Army in the pass to leave the pass and go north, and also deploy the cavalry of the two provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin to move south quickly, both sides will  A pincer attack will surely annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, regain lost ground, and win in one battle.  "Once Japan's Kwantung Army suffers heavy losses, the anti-war faction in Japan will immediately take advantage, and war will probably not break out. This is the way to end a war with war.  On the contrary, if we are cowardly and afraid of war, the Japanese will definitely push their ambitions further, and in the end we will no longer have foreign lands!  " Zhang Xinghan's words caused Wang Yizhe to fall into silence. For a moment, the blood in his body showed signs of boiling. He wanted to command his men to fight the Japanese army in Shenyang City as Zhang Xinghan said. But this idea  It was just a flash, and he was soon overwhelmed by reason. After all, he was not a time traveler, he could not predict history, and he lacked sufficient anticipation of the development of the situation. And he did not have Zhang Xinghan's unlimited ammunition supply as a strong backing.  After pondering for a moment, Wang Yizhe was forced to shake his head and said: "Xinghan, I admit that what you said is not unreasonable, but the young marshal has been kind to me, and I have to carry out his orders, so Fengtian City cannot be defended.  .  Therefore, you must retreat with me. For the sake of Ruoying's lifelong happiness, even if I beg you.  " "Bearer, have you ever thought about it, if the city of Shenyang is destroyed, how many compatriots will live in dire straits from here on? If we abandon the defense of the northeast, then the white mountains and black waters will be devastated, and the fields will be starved to death. Thirty million compatriots will live in dire straits.  From then on, he was trampled under the iron hoof of the Japanese army and became a subjugated slave without dignity.  " "As a soldier in Xinghan, how can I abandon 30 million compatriots just because of my happiness?  Zhang Xinghan changed his address to Wang Yizhe in desperation: "Uncle Wang, I know you are a person who values ??friendship and loyalty. The young marshal has been kind to you. You don't want to disobey his orders, but what is more important is personal feelings and the country."  Uncle Qing Wang, you should understand?  !  " "Stop talking, Wang Yizhe would rather die than betray the young commander, and he would never be an unfaithful and unfilial person.  "Wang Yizhe knew that everything Zhang Xinghan said was reasonable, but he still raised his hands stubbornly. Zhang Xinghan looked a little sad. He still failed to persuade Wang Yizhe. Otherwise, with the combat power of the Seventh Brigade, he would have been able to defend it easily.  Shenyang, and caused a devastating blow to the Japanese Kwantung Army. Zhang Xinghan was confident that after being silent for a while, Zhang Xinghan continued: "In this case, Xinghan will not force anyone to do anything. Please agree to Xinghan before you evacuate.  Han made a request.  "    "any request?  "Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Xinghan with some confusion. "Please Uncle Wang, please leave me all the tanks and armored troops of the **7th Brigade. They are the invincible armored troops of the Northeast Army. They are facing a national crisis. They should stay and fight with Shenyang City and the city.  Hundreds of thousands of fellow villagers live and die together.  "Zhang Xinghan got straight to the point. "What?  "Wang Yizhe was obviously taken aback. Zhang Xinghan's request was beyond his expectation. As the top ace of the Northeast Army, the **7th Brigade is equipped with a company-level tank unit, with a total of 12 Renault FT17 tanks and four armored personnel carriers.  Among them, the Renault tanks were newly imported through special channels after Zhang Xueliang came to power. They were equipped with a 37mm cannon and a Czech light machine gun. They were slightly more advanced than the Renaults purchased by Zhang Zuolin when they were in power and were only equipped with machine guns. The Japanese army attacked Peking University.  During the battalion, because the 3rd Battalion led by Zhang Xinghan blocked the Japanese attack and gave each unit ample time to retreat, all the tank troops of the 7th Brigade were able to withdraw and are now parked at the temporary station of Dongshanzuizi.  As we all know, at this time, the Northeast Army's tank unit can be said to be the only and most powerful in the whole of China. It is the extremely rare treasure pimple unit. Zhang Xinghan asked himself if he wanted to leave it, and Wang Yizhe was really reluctant to let it go.  However, when he saw Zhang Xinghan’s expression of hope and thought that he was about to lead a small force to fight the bloody battle in Shenyang City, Wang Yizhe still reluctantly nodded: “Okay, I promise you, I will order them to enter Shenyang at full speed and give you full command.  .  " "Thank you very much, Mr. Xinghan, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of elders in the city, thank you!  "Zhang Xinghan ecstatically saluted Wang Yizhe and said quite excitedly. "After officially taking over the defense of Shenyang, through Wang Yicai's report, Zhang Xinghan learned that a batch of Renault tanks were still stranded in Shenyang City at this time, and the warehouse of Shenyang Arsenal wasThere are also a large number of cars and self-assembled armored vehicles here, plus the armored company of the 7th Brigade.  “I already have an armored force that far exceeds that of the Japanese army. I can give the Japanese army a fatal blow at a critical moment. As for talents?  Among the current students of Northeast Martial Arts Hall, there are many who can drive armored vehicles and tanks.  With all this, can Zhang Xinghan not be excited?  "But I have one thing you must promise me." Wang Yizhe suddenly said.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan asked doubtfully.  "If the defense of the city fails, you must live for me. If Ruoying refuses to follow me, you all must live and return to Jinzhou alive. I will wait for you there." Wang Yizhe said firmly.  Zhang Xinghan immediately nodded solemnly: "Uncle Wang, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Ruoying and never let her be harmed in the slightest." Wang Yizhe patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "If the war goes wrong,  , you can lead the armored company to break through the encirclement, leaving the green hills behind so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood!" Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw Xiao Lizi, a communications soldier, running in with a panic. Just now, Wang Yizhe  Arriving at the headquarters, Xiao Lizi returned to his post.  "What's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a bad premonition in his heart.  "Brigade, we just received news that the Japanese cavalry suddenly rushed to Xinmin City half an hour ago. The defenders were caught off guard, and the marshal ordered not to resist. Xinmin has now been captured by the Japanese army." PS: There will be more in the evening.  There is a chapter, please recommend and vote for collection support.

    "What? Xinmin has fallen?" Zhang Xinghan's face changed greatly, and then he felt happy again. Xinmin had fallen, and the only retreat for the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang was cut off. Then Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade did not need to evacuate and could stay in Shenyang.  .  "Yes." Xiao Lizi nodded.  Zhang Xinghan looked back to see what Wang Yizhe was about to say, but Wang Yizhe asked Xiao Lizi: "How many Japanese troops are attacking Xinmin?" "I don't know this humble position. The defenders have been defeated, so there is no way to know." Xiao Lizi.  Li Zi said with a look of shame.  "Oh." Wang Yizhe frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You just said that the Japanese army was a cavalry attack on the new people, right?" "Yeah." Xiao Lizi nodded again.  "Hmph, the little devil's troops are too scattered, and they were defeated in the Beida camp and Shenyang company. They dare to attack the new people, cut off my retreat, and try to eat all our troops in the Shenyang area. They really have a big appetite.  I'm not afraid of breaking my teeth." Wang Yizhe said angrily.  "Uncle Wang, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xinghan asked anxiously.  "What else can be done? Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has just settled down in Xinmin and is not yet stable, attack Xinmin at a rapid rate, break the Japanese encirclement, and retreat to Jinzhou." Wang Yizhe said without thinking.  Zhang Xinghan was speechless. It turned out that in Wang Yizhe's mind, he had never thought about continuing to hold on to Shenyang City, or that he had no hope at all. Moreover, there was Zhang Xueliang's order, and the retreat to Jinzhou had already been preconceived in his mind.  , forming a fixed mindset that is difficult to change unless special circumstances occur.  "Uncle Wang, now that Xinmin has been invaded by the Japanese invaders, and the road to retreat to Jinzhou has been cut off, forcing a breakout is dangerous and unpredictable. I think it is better for you to use the excuse that Xinmin is occupied and has no way to retreat, and lead your troops to stay and Xinghan  Let’s stick to Shenyang together,” Zhang Xinghan persuaded without giving up.  "No!" Wang Yizhe immediately refused without thinking, saying: "Time is tight, I must go back immediately to command the troops to attack Xinmin quickly, and open the way to Jinzhou before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. If possible, I will  Xinmin left a force waiting to pick you up, take care of yourself!" "Yes! Take care, Uncle Wang!" Zhang Xinghan knew he couldn't force it, so he stood up and saluted immediately.  Everyone has their own choices and ideas. It was Wang Yizhe's choice to follow the order to evacuate, and it was his choice to stick to Shenyang. In some ways, there is nothing wrong with this, because everyone has the right to choose.  ????………………………………………………………… As soon as Wang Yizhe left, Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wang Yicai and others walked in one after another.  After saluting, Wang Yicai and the other three stepped forward and asked: "Commander, how are you? What are General Wang's plans?" "The Japanese army has captured Xinmin. The brigade will lead its troops to attack Xinmin, break through the Japanese siege, and evacuate to Jinzhou."  Zhang Xinghan calmed down and asked again: "How is it? How are you doing with the things I entrusted to you?" "Everything went well, Gao Zhihang has been brought here." Wang Yicai was the first to answer.  "All the students from Jiangwu Hall have entered the city and are currently gathered at the former police station on standby." Liu Jianguo answered.  "Okay! Where is Gao Zhihang?" Zhang Xinghan nodded excitedly and asked.  "Just outside the headquarters." Wang Yicai replied.  "Invite him in quickly, no, I will greet him personally." After Zhang Xinghan said that, he took the lead and walked outside the headquarters. Liu Jianguo and others looked at each other in surprise, and they also hurriedly followed.  At the headquarters, Gao Zhihang, wearing a major uniform with the Air Force logo, was pacing back and forth, looking up at the headquarters from time to time.  Suddenly, a young officer who was similar in age to him took the lead and walked out, followed by two colleagues who had gone to inform him. When Gao Zhihang saw this, he stopped quickly, straightened his chest and looked at him intently.  Zhang Xinghan.  When he arrived, Zhang Xinghan stood upright and saluted Gao Zhihang in front of him with a standard military salute, and introduced himself: "Zhang Xinghan, lieutenant colonel commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army and acting commander of Fengtian City Defense.  "Seeing this, Gao Zhihang also quickly followed the salute and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Gao Zhihang, the major captain of the Northeast Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army Air Force, was ordered to report and ask for instructions from the commander!" After the salute, Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily: "Major Gao is the commander.  "What year was he born in?" "Sir, I was born in 1907," Gao Zhihang replied.  "Oh? 1907?" Zhang Xinghan asked in surprise: "What month?" "May 14th." Gao Zhihang replied.  "May 14th? Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Zhang Xinghan said in surprise: "To be honest, Major Gao, Zhang and you are from the same family.??I am born in the same month, but a few days younger than you. I was born on May 20th.  "    "Yeah?  That's really a coincidence.  "Gao Zhihang was also a little surprised. "Major Gao is several days older than Zhang in terms of age. How about you please allow me to treat him as a brother?  "Zhang Xinghan looked at Gao Zhihang seriously. Gao Zhihang looked at Zhang Xinghan a little flattered. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he said: "It's an honor.  " "Brother Gao, please go in first, and we'll talk later.  "Zhang Xinghan immediately turned around and gave way to the road, Su said. "Sir Zhang, please.  "Gao Zhihang also bowed his hands and gave in. Zhang Xinghan laughed, took Gao Zhihang's arm and strode into the headquarters hand in hand. After entering the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan directly pulled the confused Gao Zhihang to the wall hanging on the wall.  In front of the battle map, the towns along the South Manchuria Railway, including Yingkou and Siping, were surrounded by white oil pens representing the Japanese army. Fengtian City was already surrounded by these Japanese troops. From this map,  Shangneng could see clearly at a glance, and Zhang Xinghan said to Gao Zhihang, who looked confused: "Brother Ziheng, look, the current Fengtian City is as shown on my map, surrounded by Japanese troops on three sides, oh, that's not right.  .  " Halfway through the words, Zhang Xinghan suddenly paused, turned around and took a colored pen, drew a white circle on Xinmin, and continued: "To be precise, it should be surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides. From a strategic point of view,  , Shenyang has become a dead place.  " Gao Zhihang nodded silently and couldn't deny it. Everything Zhang Xinghan said was right. "But.  "Zhang Xinghan suddenly said again: "In Xinghan's view, Shenyang is not all a place of death, because there are still you and me in Shenyang City, and there are thousands of patriotic soldiers.  As long as we unite as one, I am determined to defend Shenyang City, defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, and protect our three northeastern provinces.  " "But I need your full cooperation, Brother Gao.  " "If Chief Zhang needs Gao Zhihang to do anything, just ask him to do it. For the sake of Shenyang City, for the sake of the three eastern provinces, and for the 30 million elders of the three eastern provinces, Ziheng is willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"  "Gao Zhihang expressed his position very happily. Zhang Xinghan was moved to see the determination on Gao Zhihang's still slightly young face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Marshal Zhang has hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops, and his men are talented and patriotic.  There are so many soldiers, but he cannot make good use of them. Otherwise, how can the mere Japanese pirates dare to take a look at our three northeastern provinces? "The Japanese army has captured Xinmin and may launch another attack on Shenyang after dawn. Xinghan hopes that Brother Ziheng can go back?"  Reorganize all the fighter pilots in our Shenyang Airport, make all battle preparations, wait for orders to attack at any time, give the Japanese invaders the most violent air strikes, and help me hold on to Fengtian City.  "Zhang Xinghan got straight to the point. "Sir, please rest assured that Gao Ziheng and all his colleagues in the aviation team will be ready to attack at any time.  Gao Zhihang said without any hesitation.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 26: Unified Reorganization

    After sending Gao Zhihang away, Zhang Xinghan told Wang Yicai: "Yicai, you immediately mobilize the public security police in the city to protect the lives and property of the elders in Shangyang City. We are now urgently calling on all retired soldiers in the city.  Men in their 40s join the army to expand their military strength, defend Fengtian City to the death, and fight the Japanese to the death! " "Okay, I'll do it right away." Wang Yicai nodded happily.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan's recruitment notice came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Fengtian City. Countless Shenyang elders who had been awakened by the fighting last night took to the streets, gathered around the notice, and started talking about it.  "Er baby, you are just eighteen years old this year. Go join the army and don't embarrass me." A middle-aged pork seller in the crowd said to his slightly obese son who was over eighteen years old.  "Dad, when I leave, who will help you sell pork?" the fat boy said with a simple and honest look.  "You have such a stupid brain. You let the Japanese invade the city and steal all our pork? Then we will really be unable to continue selling pork." The middle-aged uncle patted his son on the shoulder and said seriously:  "Go ahead. Thirty years ago, when I was as old as you, I participated in Xiangyong and fought against old men and young devils. We must let foreigners know at any time that there are no cowards in the Northeast, they are all fucking  "A bloody man with a handle!" "Well, I will sign up to join the army later and try to kill more Japanese soldiers. I will never embarrass you, dad, or we Northeasterners."  The innocent and simple way.  If a pork vendor behaves like this, you can imagine the reaction of the passionate patriotic youth, students and people from all walks of life in Fengtian City.  For a time, a large number of young and middle-aged people flocked to the recruitment offices set up by Zhang Xinghan in various urban streets. Each recruitment office was overcrowded.  Among them, what Zhang Xinghan did not expect was that workers from the Shenyang Arsenal, Steel Plant and other military factories would go to the recruitment office in an organized manner, resolutely requesting to join the army to defend Shenyang and the various industries on which they had devoted countless efforts to make a living.  factory.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan knew that almost all workers from these factories in the military industrial system could shoot guns. Some were even more familiar with guns and weapons than active military personnel. They were a group of reserves who were ready to fight when called upon.  manpower.  However, for the sake of long-term plans for the future, Zhang Xinghan personally came forward to persuade the workers to return to the factory, perform their duties, and prepare to produce more guns and ammunition for the defenders to directly support the upcoming hard battle.  By eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan had recruited about 2,000 qualified recruits in Shenyang City, half of whom were veterans of the former Northeastern Army, and recruitment was still continuing.  In order to cope with the possible attack by the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan sent 2,000 new soldiers, more than 500 guardsmen of the Guards Battalion, and more than 1,600 cadets of the 11th phase of the Jiangwu Hall who had evacuated from Dongda Camp into the city, as well as his 700-3rd Battalion subordinates.  , all three thousand military and policemen left by Huang Xiansheng gathered together.  At this time, together with the two thousand new recruits and the more than 1,600 students from the Jiangwu Hall, Zhang Xinghan's number of defenders in Shenyang City reached nearly 8,000, not counting those who had just entered the city*  *The 7th Brigade Armored Company and Gao Zhihang’s aviation team.  After the troops were assembled, in order to unify command, Zhang Xinghan announced that the eight thousand defenders would be reorganized into three infantry regiments, a guard company directly under the city defense headquarters, a reconnaissance company and an artillery battalion.  The three infantry regiments are all equipped with the standard configuration of the 27th platoon of the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company, but the number of people in each platoon is over-full, reaching about 600 or 50 people, which is comparable to a full squad of the Japanese army.  To sum up, each of the three regiments has about 2,000 people. The first regiment is composed of Zhang Xinghan’s 3rd Battalion as the base, supplemented by a group of newly recruited recruits and students from the Lecture Hall. The regiment is headed by Liu Jianguo, the former deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion.  .  The Second Regiment is composed of the Zhang Xueliang Guard Battalion and some military police as the backbone, supplemented by some Martial Arts Hall students as grassroots officers. The commander of the Second Regiment is Liu Guodong, the commander of the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion. As for the most qualified person to serve as the commander of the Second Regiment,  The former deputy battalion commander of the Guards Battalion was transferred by Zhang Xinghan to his city defense headquarters as a combat staff officer.  The purpose of being promoted and demoted was to isolate him so that he could fully control Zhang Xueliang's elite guard battalion.  The third regiment is composed of a large number of military police left behind by Huang Xiansheng and new recruits. The regiment is headed by Wang Yicai, deputy director of Fengtian Police Station.  As for the guard company, reconnaissance company and artillery battalion directly under the headquarters, most of the members of these three units directly under the ** are current students of the Jiangwu Hall and loyal veterans Zhang Xinghan transferred from the 3rd Battalion, as well as artillery soldiers brought from the Peking University Battalion.  composition.  The reason why we chose to use Jiangwu Hall students to form the guard company and reconnaissance company is because each of them can be regarded as elite men with both civil and military skills. Before entering the Jiangwu Hall for further training, many of them were at the middle and lower levels of each army.  Outstanding officers and soldiers studied in the martial arts hall for more than half a yearback.  “ Their tactical command capabilities and individual combat capabilities have been greatly improved. Such people are perfect for forming guard companies and reconnaissance companies.  Of course, among these trainees, those who held relatively high official positions before entering school were sent to various regiments as battalion and company commanders by Zhang Xinghan with great care, and they did not stay in the above three directly-affiliated troops.  As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan knows the importance of mastering an elite lineage, which will be the final guarantee for him to settle down in the future.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan will not leave those with higher military positions in the directly-affiliated troops such as the guard company under any circumstances. Let alone whether they are willing or not, even if they are willing to give in, Zhang Xinghan is still afraid that they will form small groups and pull them together.  In the end, the gangs gradually lost their command of the anti-Japanese troops.  At this point, Zhang Xinghan basically had the city's defenders in his own hands. Overnight, the Shenyang city defenders completed their reorganization and were ready for a new battle.  ???………………………………………………………… At the same time, the Japanese army was not idle.  First, the cavalry regiment of the Second Division made a sneak attack at night and captured the important town of Xinmin, cutting off the last retreat route for the defenders in Shenyang City.  At the same time, under the strict orders of Itagaki Seishiro, the Japanese troops who had succeeded in attacking the towns along the South Manchuria Railway dispatched their main forces to assemble in the Shenyang area.  In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the attack on Shenyang, Ishihara Kanji even suggested to his good friends to postpone the attack on Changchun, transfer the imperial army that had entered Ji Province, and concentrate all efforts on attacking Shenyang.  However, Itagaki Seishiro believed that the troops attacking Ji Province had already arrived at Changchun City and would not be able to arrive for a while after returning, so he did not adopt Ishihara Kanji's suggestion.  Of course, the main reason is that Itagaki Seishiro believed that the troops he had assembled were sufficient and fully capable of the task of capturing Fengtian. There was no need to mobilize troops into Ji Province, which would delay the imperial army's original battle plan to capture Changchun.  To put it bluntly, Itagaki Seishiro wanted to bring the entire three eastern provinces into the territory of the Japanese Empire in one fell swoop.  By nine o'clock in the morning, Japanese reinforcements from Yingkou and Siping areas had arrived one after another. By now, the number of Japanese troops gathered in the Sujiatun area had reached more than 9,000, and thousands more reinforcements were arriving from the direction of Dalian.  .  Inside the frontline headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Sujiatun.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji are worried about one thing, that is, they have just received a report from the reconnaissance force. The elite Northeast Army who retreated from Beidaying to Dongshanzuizi attacked Dongshanzuizi, where the 7th Brigade suddenly left, and marched in the direction of Xinmin.  And go.  "Ishihara-kun, what do you think we should do? Should we attack Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade with all our strength or let them go and continue attacking Shenyang City." Itagaki Seishiro couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and suddenly raised his head to look at Ishihara, who had been thinking for a long time.  Wan Er asked.  Facing Itagaki Seishiro's gaze, Ishihara smiled slightly and said: "As far as I know, Zhang Xueliang was kind to Wang Yizhe. It is impossible for Wang Yizhe to disobey Zhang Xueliang's retreat order. In this way, if we resolutely block Xinmin,  Then Wang Yizhe will have an excuse to start a war, and he will definitely launch a fierce attack on Xinmin in order to break through the encirclement of our army and retreat towards Jinzhou. You must know that Wang Yizhe's **7th Brigade is the elite elite unit of the Northeast Army and has a large number of troops.  We have less troops, so we may not be able to defeat them. If we attack with all our strength, if the Chinese army in the city takes the opportunity to attack our army from both sides, the consequences will be disastrous. " "What Ishihara-kun means is this.  ?" Itagaki Seishiro asked uncertainly.  "Let Wang Yizhe evacuate smoothly and concentrate all the troops to seize Shenyang City." Ishihara Wan'er said sharply: "Wang Yizhe has no intention of resisting in his heart. He is bent on retreating. If we stop him, he will fight tooth and nail. If we let him pass, Shenyang City will be destroyed."  It will be completely turned into a dead place and will definitely be in the pocket of the imperial army." "Yo Xi, just do as you say." Itagaki Seishiro nodded in realization.  PS: Today I was decorating the doors and windows at home. I helped to do it for a long time. I was very hot and tired.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 27: Preparation to Face the Enemy (Part 1)

    South of Shenyang City, City Defense Headquarters.  The cooking team just brought breakfast to Zhang Xinghan, three or four freshly baked flatbreads, a few washed and peeled green onions, and a large bowl of porridge.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the fragrant breakfast, immediately walked over, picked up the green onions, rolled them up in pancakes, and started chewing them.  While devouring an authentic Northeastern-style breakfast, Zhang Xinghan marked something on the map.  At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Wang Yicai, the leader of the third regiment, walking in quickly. He made a military salute to Zhang Xinghan and said: "Brother, I just got the news that Wang Yizhe's unit actually succeeded."  Breaking through the siege and regaining Xinmin. " "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised, and then said: "Our seventh brigade is an elite force with good equipment and strong combat power. In addition, the Japanese army has not established a stable foothold in Xinmin, so this is not enough.  "That's strange." "What's going on with the main force of the Japanese army?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.  "No." Wang Yicai shook his head and said: "The main force of the Japanese army concentrated in Sujiatun has been indifferent, sitting back and watching Wang Yizhe lead his troops to break out. Moreover, the Japanese troops in the towns along the north and south lines of the South Manchuria Railway with Shenyang as the center are all coming.  They are constantly moving towards Sujiatun. The number of Japanese troops gathered in Sujiatun now exceeds 10,000. "The situation is not optimistic," Wang Yicai added worriedly.  Zhang Xinghan swallowed the last bite of pancake rolls with green onions in his hand, picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and said disapprovingly: "We have an infantry regiment with 8,000 people, hundreds of armored troops, and one or two hundred air force fighter planes.  With a complete military industry such as the Shenyang Arsenal, it is enough to defend the city. "Although the Japanese army has more than 20,000 troops in the Northeast, it is impossible to mobilize all of them to Shenyang. Although North Korea has reinforcements in Japan, it is difficult to mobilize them in a short time.  Come on!" Zhang Xinghan said, rolled out another pancake, took a bite, and continued: "So, in terms of military strength, the Japanese army does not have much advantage, but once the Shenyang war situation reaches a stalemate, the anti-war forces in Japan will definitely  We will take advantage of the situation and the siege of Fengtian will be lifted by then. " "But, brother, have you ever thought about it. Now that the Japanese have captured most of the important towns in Liao Province, even if we hold Shenyang and push back the Japanese army, what will happen to us?  Is it possible for them to give up the territory they have occupied?" Wang Yicai said.  "Yoshitai, do you think the Kwantung Army will still be able to continue to occupy the occupied areas after the Shenyang Defense War is over?" Zhang Xinghan asked with interest, and then said with concern: "Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese will  If you are not willing to fail and use all your strength to launch a full-scale invasion of China in advance, that will be troublesome. "Although, if the Kwantung Army's armed actions in Manchuria are frustrated, the anti-war voices in Japan may overwhelm the fanatical war faction.  The war ceased.  But things are unpredictable. Will the Japanese jump over the wall and launch a full-scale war of aggression against China?  You must know that in history, even though they were stuck in the quagmire of the protracted war against China and their national power was exhausted, the crazy Japanese launched an active attack on the United States, the then behemoth power, and opened the Pacific battlefield.  Although Japan’s current military and national strength has not reached its peak state in the 26th year of the Republic of China, how good can China be today?  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is still in Yi Xin'an, and the formalization of the Central Military Forces has hardly begun. The country has just experienced the Central Plains War. The military forces in various places have been severely damaged, their military and financial resources have been severely depleted, and they are in urgent need of recuperation. It can be said that China at this time  Far weaker than in 1937.  “If the Japanese forcefully launch a full-scale invasion of China at this time, the consequences may be even worse than in 1937.  Even if there is no full-scale invasion of China, if a massive increase in troops is used to attack the Northeast, it will not be something Zhang Xinghan can resist now, because he is not Marshal Zhang, and he does not have hundreds of thousands of Northeast elites under his command. He only has 8,000 people, and he can barely defend Shenyang.  It is absolutely impossible to defend the entire Northeast.  "Then, brother, what should we do next?" Wang Yicai asked in confusion.  "As the saying goes, in war, the best defense is to attack, Yi Cai, I remember that Director Huang's police department has two cavalry police corps?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered vaguely that he had seen it in later historical materials.  Detailed information about the cavalry units of the Northeast Army.  Among them are the two public security cavalry corps formed by Huang Xiansheng when he was the police chief of Liaoning Province. After the September 18th Incident, this cavalry unit entered the customs with Huang Xiansheng, and was later adapted into the army's first cavalry.  The second brigade was adapted from the second division of the cavalry assault led by Huang Xiansheng during the Great Wall War of Resistance.  However, Huang Xiansheng only took a few cavalry escorts with him when he withdrew. Most of the troops, both cavalry and infantry, should have stayed in Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan knew that on the battlefield in Northeast China,?The only thing the Northern Army was stronger than the Japanese Army was their cavalry.  During the Anti-Japanese War in Jiangqiao, the Heilongjiang cavalry led by Ma Zhanshan killed the Japanese cavalry regiment in a river of blood, resulting in heavy casualties and a disastrous defeat.  The reason is that the Northeast has been the land of the horseback people since ancient times. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Li Rusong's 2,000 Liaoning cavalry were able to defeat the Japanese army's 50,000 elite troops with an outnumbered enemy.  In terms of war horses, the Northeast Army also has an advantage. The horses of the Northeast Army are mostly produced in the Hulunbuir Prairie and the Horqin Grassland. Mongolian horses have been famous for their endurance and adaptability since ancient times. When the Mongolian cavalry galloped across the Eurasian continent,  , the biggest reliance is the amazing endurance and adaptability of the Mongolian horse.  Most of the Japanese war horses are tall horses imported from the West. They are not durable and can run faster than Mongolian horses at the beginning, but their endurance is far behind.  “Also, the Japanese are a short-legged nation. People with short legs are naturally not much better in terms of riding skills.  However, Wang Yicai's next answer disappointed Zhang Xinghan: "There is such a cavalry unit, but this unit is scattered in various counties under Liaoning. Before yesterday, Director Huang had a premonition that the Japanese army might provoke a war.  At the same time, he organized the public security corps to strengthen the city defense force in Shenyang City, and at the same time ordered the cavalry corps to conduct mobile inspections in the towns outside Shenyang to facilitate mobile attacks when a war breaks out. " "Oh, no wonder the entire city's troops were summoned before.  We didn't see many cavalry during the reorganization." Zhang Xinghan was disappointed but nodded in understanding. As for the cavalry, they are really not suitable to stay in Shenyang City to fight this kind of city defense war. They are best at maneuvering in the wild.  Only then can the power and advantages of the cavalry be brought into full play.  Huang Xiansheng's intention in making this arrangement was good. If Zhang Xueliang was determined to resist the September 18th Incident, these scattered cavalry could quickly cooperate with the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army and Shenyang's city defense troops to launch surprise attacks from behind against the Japanese army, thereby winning the war.  .  However, Zhang Xueliang's non-resistance made all this meaningless. After learning that the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China had withdrawn from Shenyang, most of the cavalry troops would retreat towards Jinzhou on their own.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan’s idea of ??using cavalry and armored troops to form an assault and roundabout mobile force, and actively attacking out of the city to cooperate with the main force to defend the city, could not be realized.  With more than 20 armored vehicles and Renault tanks, they can form an assault force that cannot be ignored, but without the accompanying protection of cavalry, this assault force can easily be destroyed and defeated by the Japanese army.  After all, the armor defense performance of Renault tanks and those armored vehicles produced by Shenyang Arsenal is still very low. It is not much better than the Japanese Type 89 tank, and ordinary artillery can destroy it.  It seems that we can only fight this defensive battle first and then think of other solutions.  Zhang Xinghan said silently in his heart.  "Yicai, please notify Jianguo immediately and ask him to quickly move a group to the main defensive position outside the South Gate City to prepare to block the Japanese attack." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan ordered Wang Yicai.  "Yes!" Wang Yicai stood at attention and saluted, then strode away.  After watching Wang Yicai leave, Zhang Xinghan finished the last pancake in his hand, wiped his mouth and said loudly: "Little Lizi, take a guard platoon with me to the arsenal." "Yes!" He has been promoted to the second lieutenant platoon leader of the guard company.  Xiao Lizi, a communications soldier, responded loudly outside the door, and immediately started to turn his head and shout: "Gather in a row!" PS: First of all, thank you Tianhai Alliance for the reward again. Congratulations on becoming the first hall leader in this book. The hall leader is mighty, and Tianhai Xiangyun is domineering.  !

    Shenyang Arsenal.  Zhang Xinghan took the guard platoon to the arsenal warehouse in a car, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the arsenal quickly opened the warehouse door.  "Xiao Lizi, go find me the person in charge of the arsenal." Zhang Xinghan ordered Xiao Lizi as he walked towards the warehouse.  "Yes." Xiao Lizi responded and immediately sent a guard to carry out the operation.  Taking advantage of the gap, Zhang Xinghan walked around the warehouse. After a rough calculation, he found that the military warehouse he was in was at least tens of thousands of square meters, and there were piles of guns and ammunition inside. There were all kinds of guns and ammunition, including Shenyang  The arsenal also produces a large number of weapons and equipment seized from the warlords' previous wars with foreign countries, mainly during the Second Zhili-Fengtian War.  "Damn, there are at least more than 100,000 rifles here, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and various types of artillery, there are too many pistols and grenades to count, and there are countless bullets. Not counting other things, just based on the Northeast Army's Shenyang Arsenal warehouse  The equipment he hoarded is enough to expand an army of 100,000. Zhang Xiaoliu is such a damn prodigal, the most prodigal bastard in modern history. I Zhang Zuolin saved such a huge fortune for him, but he had the heart to give it to the Japanese. It’s so shameful.  I'm so damn angry!" Zhang Xinghan looked at the piles of equipment and ammunition and cursed in anger.  While Zhang Xinghan was scolding Zhang Xiaoliu for being a prodigal son, a guard walked over quickly with two middle-aged men wearing suits and glasses.  "Commander, they are the people in charge of the arsenal." The soldier stood at attention and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan looked up and down, gave a polite military salute and said: "I would like to introduce myself, I, Zhang Xinghan, Commander of Fengtian City Defense, need your help now."  The commander's name has been heard throughout the city, and we are also aware of it. Our Zang General Office has already informed the subordinates. If you have any questions, we will fully cooperate." The older middle-aged man on the right said quickly.  "Tibetan General Office?" Zhang Xinghan was a little confused.  "Oh, it's Zang Shiyi, the governor of Liaoning Province and the mayor of Shenyang. He also serves as the general office of the Ordnance Industry Administration. Normally, he is responsible for taking care of the affairs of the arsenal. The final decision-making power rests with the governor of Tibet." Weng Zhilin explained.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded expressionlessly. Zang Shiyi was a famous figure in the northeast warlord regime in history. Before the September 18th Incident, he was highly appreciated by the Zhang family and his son. When the Huanggutun incident occurred,  He once took the lead in organizing the organization to block the news and not announce the funeral secretly. He secretly sent someone to notify Zhang Xueliang, which made great contributions to Zhang Xueliang's smooth takeover of the three northeastern provinces.  In addition, this man was an honest official and had great governance skills, so he was reused by Zhang Xueliang and was successively promoted to the position of governor of Liaoning Province. However, after the September 18th Incident, he was arrested by the Japanese army because he was unwilling to retreat. Later, he could not withstand the Japanese.  Using coercion and inducement, he eventually served as a lackey of the Japanese and became a famous traitor in Manchukuo.  However, judging from Zang Shiyi's behavior before surrendering to the enemy and treason, this person was quite loyal. If he had not fallen into the hands of the enemy and was forced to do nothing, he might not have done anything rebellious.  After pondering for a while, Zhang Xinghan said: "Weng Hui, I have something to ask you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully." "Commander Zhang, just ask if you have anything, I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything." Weng Zhilin said quickly.  "Is there still a batch of chemical weapons secretly hidden in our arsenal warehouse?" Zhang Xinghan asked straight to the point.  Weng Zhilin glanced at Zhang Xinghan in surprise when he heard this, and then nodded: "A batch of gas bombs were bought by a young marshal from Europe. They were bought after the Middle East Road Incident to deal with the Russians. But since then, we have  The Feng army has almost no major battles, so poison gas bombs have never been used. " "It's fine," Zhang Xinghan said happily: "Currently, the Japanese invaders are gathering forces and will attack Shenyang again soon. In order to defeat the Japanese army,  "I plan to requisition these gas bombs, and I also ask the Weng Committee Office for support." "The General Office of Tibet has said that as long as it is used to fight the Japanese, Commander Zhang can take as much as you want from the Shenyang Arsenal warehouse."  We will do our best to support the soldiers in fighting the Japanese invaders, defending Shenyang, and defending the Northeast." Weng Zhilin agreed readily without any hesitation.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghan said: "In addition to this batch of poison gas bombs, I also ask the Wenghui Office to send me 100,000 rounds of rifle bullets, 200,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, 30,000 rounds of pistol bullets, and 2,000 rounds of artillery shells, light and heavy machine guns  Please also distribute as many as possible to increase the firepower of our city defense troops and the aerial bombs required by the air force. Please try to meet their needs." "Well, no problem, I will have people start processing it right away.  "Weng Zhilin nodded in agreement again.  "Then I'll bother you, Weng Hui. Xinghan still has military affairs to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." Zhang Xinghan saluted with a military salute.  &nbsp; "Commander Zhang, walk slowly." Weng Zhilin quickly turned around and said with stern hands.  ………………………………… Weng Zhilin’s work efficiency is very good. Not long after Zhang Xinghan returned to the headquarters from the arsenal, he sent someone to secretly deliver a large amount of ammunition and poison gas bombs.  In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan is using his watch to produce gas bombs and aerial bombs. With the large amount of ammunition outside as cover, he can produce as much ammunition as possible.  Now he is sitting in the Shenyang Arsenal, which has hundreds of thousands of ready-made weapons and equipment in the warehouse. As long as there is sufficient ammunition, the eight thousand defenders can use various light and heavy machine guns and automatic firearms as unscrupulously as possible.  , without worrying about insufficient ammunition supply.  In this way, the firepower of the defenders will be greatly strengthened. It will not be easy for the Japanese army to break through the defense lines of the Shenyang defenders.  Looking at the gas bombs and aerial bombs falling out of the light curtain, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sneer with pride. What about the Kwantung Army?  What about the Empire of Japan?  With this watch that can produce unlimited ammunition, his squadron will never be in danger of lacking ammunition.  And now he has successfully mastered Zhang Xiaoliu's biggest assets, the Shenyang Arsenal Military Industry System Series Factory, the Northeast Air Force and a group of armored forces. As long as he defeats the Japanese Kwantung Army and gets a breathing space, Zhang Xinghan will be able to fight in a very short time.  Complete the army expansion within a certain period of time and create a brand new Northeastern Army.  He is not Zhang Xiaoliu. He has countless knowledge and predictions about the direction of history that are nearly 80 years ahead of Zhang Xiaoliu. As long as he has a strong enough new army, his goal will no longer be as simple as just defending the Northeast.  .  By 12 noon that day, all the defenders in Shenyang City had received additional ammunition and guns, and the field positions outside the city had been reinforced and modified in accordance with Zhang Xinghan's requirements.  At the same time, the Japanese army gathered more than 10,000 troops in Sujiatun. Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji immediately sent a brigade of forward troops to three kilometers outside the south gate of Shenyang and began to build attack positions.  By two o'clock in the afternoon, the construction of the Japanese forward attack position was completed. Itagaki Seishiro immediately personally commanded the main force of the more than 6,000 2nd Division to station and began to launch a formal attack on Shenyang.  "俅俅俅!" A typical Japanese attack method. The 36 75mm field guns of the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese 2nd Division, which had just arrived from Haicheng via the South Manchuria Railway for reinforcements, began to attack the 1st Regiment south of Shenyang City.  The position began shelling.  "Boom, boom, boom!" Dozens of artillery shells dragged their long scarlet tail flames and hit a group of positions, causing a violent explosion.  For a moment, a group of officers and soldiers hiding in bomb-proof caves and bunkers felt the earth trembling under their feet, and soil was constantly scattered above their heads.  On the top of the south gate city, Zhang Xinghan held a telescope and looked at the battlefield that was already full of smoke and flames. He frowned tightly and said nothing for a long time.  “Commander, Commander Liu’s phone number!” A communications soldier quickly ran to Zhang Xinghan’s side and reported.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope and followed the communications soldier towards the telephone.  "Hello, this is Zhang Xinghan." Zhang Xinghan said after picking up the phone.  On the other end of the phone, in the headquarters of a regiment, Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment, held the microphone in both hands and said loudly: "Hey! Camp, the kid's artillery fire is very fierce. My headquarters is about to collapse now." "Well,  I saw it. It was the Japanese 75th Field Artillery Group. It should be the artillery unit directly under the 2nd Division." Zhang Xinghan said calmly on the other end of the phone.  "Then can we find a way to kill that son of a bitch? If this continues, it will have a serious impact on the morale of our soldiers." Liu Jianguo shook his head and tried to shake off the dirt falling from his head.  "There's no rush. Just hold off the Japs' infantry attack for me. I'll arrange for the Air Force to kill the Japs' artillery." Zhang Xinghan said with determination as he looked at the smoke-filled field positions outside the city.  “Hey, don’t worry, as long as you kill that little Japs’ son-of-a-bitch artilleryman, I guarantee that I won’t let a Japs pass through the 1st Regiment’s position!” Liu Jianguo assured on the other end of the phone with confidence.  "Don't be too careless. The little devils are well prepared this time. Unlike when we caught them by surprise before and were unprepared, this is a head-to-head attack and defense battle. The hero or the coward will be revealed in this battle!"  Zhang Xinghan reminded.  "Don't worry about the camp, I promise I won't embarrass our **7th Brigade." Liu Jianguo stated swornly.  "Well, I believe that my soldiers will not let me down. The Japanese Second Division is known as the elite, but I fight for the elite. This is also my intention of putting your regiment on the front line."?I want all the fellow soldiers, civilians and Japanese in the city to see who is the real elite between us and the Japanese!  I will provide you with artillery fire and air support when necessary!  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "Yes!  "Liu Jianguo promised enthusiastically, and immediately hung up the phone. At this time, the Japanese artillery fire had begun to extend, and the explosions were gradually disappearing. Liu Jianguo immediately turned to the regiment headquarters and shouted: "The messenger, the Japanese three-blade axe.  After finishing the swing, I ordered all the brothers in the regiment to prepare for battle immediately and let the little devils have a taste of our power!  "    "yes!  "The two messengers who had been waiting outside responded loudly at the same time, and immediately turned around and went along the traffic trench to deliver the order. PS: I stayed up late until now to type out this chapter, mainly to consult a large amount of information for the future development of farming.  One piece of information is enough for me to read for more than half an hour, and I still have to digest it I know why there are so few colleagues who write military literature. It is really tiring. Even though I have written several books, I think  The preparation of materials is sufficient in all aspects, and we also face many difficulties when writing. The time spent checking the materials every day is very surprising. But who made us choose this field? It is not good to aim too high when doing what you love.  My father taught me this when I was doing business in Shenzhen. I will continue to work hard in the future. Starting from today, the updates will return to normal. One chapter will be written from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and one chapter will be published at 8 p.m., with 6,000 words per day until it is released.  However, this chapter is not counted as today’s two-chapter guarantee. It is considered as an additional update for Tianhai Alliance Leader to reward the Hall Leader. There will be two more updates during the day. In the future, every time a reward of 10,000 starting coins is received, an additional chapter will be added. Directly to the Alliance Leader  Ten chapters, but I only got the score in three days, because we have a reputation for being self-conscious, and writing ten thousand words a day would be exhausting. It is too much to write. Finally, I want to talk about it. Some readers said that there are too many PS thank yous and so on.  , what I want to say is that every reader who tips and votes for Qiu Feng can be regarded as Qiu Feng’s food and clothing parents. My source of income comes from your tips and subscriptions. Every time I see someone tipping me, I will be very happy.  I am so happy and touched. What can I do? Apart from updating the code, I can only write some words of thanks at the end of the chapter to express my gratitude. If you are not a writer, it is difficult for you to understand us writers, especially those of us who are street writers.  Great writers may not care. Their income from electronic subscriptions, Simplified and Traditional Chinese wireless and other peripheral copyrights is very considerable. But for me who writes about the niche subject of military affairs, apart from electronic subscriptions and rewards, I almost don’t care.  There is no other income, so every vote and every reward of one hundred starting coins is a kind of affirmation and support. It will support the author to continue to have the motivation to overcome all difficulties and write. When someone rewards and votes, as a writer.  There will be an indescribable sense of accomplishment in my heart. Regardless of the reward amount and the number of votes, I think many fellow writers should have a deep understanding of it.

    A group of front-line defense trenches outside the south gate of Shenyang.  The fat son of a pork guy who had just joined the army held a Liao 13-year-old rifle and followed the veteran squad leader out of the artillery hole, and cautiously entered the trench section in charge of his squad.  "Load the bullets and unscrew the grenade back caps. I'll treat the little devil later!" The veteran squad leader was holding a 38 cap, which was said to have been seized in the battle at Beida Camp last night. He  I am a private in the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th ** Brigade.  Now that the army has expanded, he has become a squad leader in charge of more than ten people in a regiment.  "Who is that? Did you hear what I said?" As the Japanese artillery fire continued to roar, the fat son of the pork guy was so frightened by the deafening sound of the artillery that he put his head in his hands and was shivering. He didn't hear the squad leader's words at all.  Order, the squad leader suddenly asked loudly and anxiously.  "Hey, who is that? What the hell are you doing? I'm asking you something, do you know?" The squad leader kicked his ass with great dissatisfaction.  "Ah, squad leader, I, I'm afraid of having sex." The little pork guy turned around and looked up at the squad leader with a confused look on his face.  "What's your name?" The squad leader asked, seeing the fear on his face.  "My name is Niu Erzhu!" the little pork guy replied.  "Niu Erzhu, he looks quite strong, but he is quite timid." The squad leader said with interest: "But it's no wonder, it's your first time on the battlefield, right?" "Yeah." Niu Erzhu nodded dully.  "Hey, I fought with you back then. The new recruits were all like bears when they first entered the battlefield. Isn't there a saying in our army that recruits are afraid of cannons and veterans are afraid of bugles? Actually, it's nothing. The enemy's cannons, listen.  The roar is loud, but the formation is quite scary. As long as we hide in the trench bunker and don't run around, we won't be hit at all." As the squad leader spoke, some other recruits couldn't help but come over.  The squad leader explained patiently: "Later, follow my orders. When our company's light and heavy machine guns fire, we can just shoot him and beat him up. We've all been told by the superiors. You recruits don't have to be afraid of bullets."  If it’s not enough, I’ll make it for you. I’ll replenish as much as you can.” “Oh, you guys are just greedy for the good times. Each of the new recruits is equipped with one hundred and twenty rounds of bullets.  You don’t need to pay attention to economy. I think back when I first joined the army, each person only had five rounds of ammunition. He couldn’t shoot them all at once. After firing three rounds, he had to follow the commander and rush out to fight Wu Peifu’s men. The bayonet was red. That was called a hand-to-hand fight.  Tragic." "Squad leader, why did you have so little bullet supply at that time, but we can get so much now?" Niu Erzhu asked inexplicably.  "It's not that our camp has a lot of money. Now we are backed by the big warehouse of Shenyang Arsenal. We have as many bullets, artillery shells and grenades as we need. They can be remade after they are used up. If we use the top, we will feed them with bullets at any cost.  , we must train you new recruits into truly qualified soldiers as soon as possible. "Oh, he is the commander of Fengtian City's city defense. He is the commander of our 3rd Battalion. Did you know that we killed him in the battle at Beida Camp last night?  There were more than five to six hundred Japanese soldiers, but none of them were injured or killed." The squad leader couldn't help but look proud when talking about Zhang Xinghan.  In the minds of the officers and soldiers of the old 3rd Battalion, their admiration for Zhang Xinghan has already reached a level that cannot be replaced by anyone. As long as Zhang Xinghan says a word, even if they are asked to die, they will not hesitate to take the lead in the attack.  At the front, without fear.  "The Japanese are coming, prepare to fight!" At this time, a shrill roar came from the trench in the distance. It was the roar of the commander of Niu Erzhu's company.  "The little Japs are here, take your positions. Remember, don't be afraid. Try not to shake your hands when shooting. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets. Shoot hard. If the Japs are close, use a grenade to greet the son of a bitch."  He stood up quickly, pulled the bolt of the Sanba Daigai gun in his hand, and gave instructions to more than a dozen of his subordinates.  Not a stranger, Niu Erzhu opened the safety of the steel gun in his hand, clicked the bolt, pushed the bullet into the chamber, and then slowly pointed the gun muzzle forward. His father was a butcher, and he spent many years in the mountains and forests.  Niu Erzhu Erzhu also learned a little bit about shooting through hunting, so it was not too unfamiliar to pick up the Liao Thirteen Years Style.  After emerging, Niu Erzhu could vaguely see Japanese soldiers in yellow military uniforms about a few hundred meters away, rushing towards their own position all over the mountains and plains.  As the distance approached, Niu Erzhu gradually saw clearly the bright and sharp bayonets on the muzzles of the rifles in the hands of the Japanese devils. Under the rays of the setting sun, they reflected a dazzling cold light, which was intimidating.  Niu Erzhu couldn't help but swallowed. He was a little nervous and turned to look at the squad leader. He saw that the squad leader was concentrating on raising his gun and aiming at it.The Japanese soldiers who were approaching were as motionless as if they were petrified.  Seeing this, Niu Erzhu felt a little more at ease, and tried to start looking for the target.  Time passed by minute by second, and just as the front-line recruits, including Niu Erzhu, were waiting a little distracted and unbearable, on a silent machine gun position, dozens of light and heavy machine guns fired one after another.  roared.  "Click, click, click click, click, click click, click, click" With the Shenyang Arsenal, the three garrison regiments have many more machine guns than ordinary Type A regiments. Just one company of the regiment is equipped with  It has four Type 13 79 heavy machine guns. In addition, each squad is also equipped with two Czech light machine guns. This kind of machine gun ratio cannot be matched by the elite of the Central Army 37 years later.  Once dozens of light and heavy machine guns opened fire, they erupted into a piercing roar, tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzles, and dense bullets rained down on the Japanese troops.  However, the Japanese army did not panic too much. The infantry formed a skirmish line and accelerated the charge. The mortars and grenadiers accompanying the charge were quickly looking for favorable positions and preparing for artillery fire to suppress them.  At the same time, the Japanese Taisho Type 3 heavy machine guns and the Taisho Type 11 light machine guns that accompanied the troops' charge also opened fire, engaging in firefights to provide fire support for their own attacking troops.  As the distance approached, the riflemen on both sides also opened fire. For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with bullets like rain, constantly shuttling back and forth. During the fierce battle, people were shot and fell from time to time, but the Japanese army as the attacker obviously occupied a higher proportion.  proportion.  In the trenches of the first regiment, Niu Erzhu had fired five shots in succession. Unfortunately, he failed to hit a single Japanese soldier. The battlefield was filled with bullets and explosions. How could it be compared to hunting?  Due to nervousness and fear, Niu Erzhu did not realize that the bullets in the chamber of his gun had been exhausted, but kept pulling the trigger while roaring.  "Niu Erzhu, are you fucking stupid or what? Load bullets!" The squad leader who was shooting at the side noticed something unusual and couldn't help but yelled angrily.  "Oh!" Niu Erzhu suddenly woke up and hurriedly touched the bullet bag on his body. In his nervousness, he spilled the full bullet bag all over the floor.  "You weakling, you are so anxious, squat down and fill me up with bullets before you hit me. If you are missing, the enemy will not be able to charge forward!" Seeing this, the squad leader cursed angrily.  Niu Erzhu then sat bald against the trench wall, breathing heavily and quickly, and began to grab the bullets scattered on the ground, and pressed them into the bullet chambers one by one with trembling hands.  After taking a few deep breaths and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Niu Erzhu roared, stood up and continued shooting with his gun.  "Bang!" A rifle bullet was fired from his gun, whirling and flying towards the crowd of Japanese soldiers.  "Poof!" About a hundred and fifty meters away, an unlucky Japanese soldier fell down.  Niu Erzhu was startled at first, and then said loudly and ecstatically: "Squad leader, I hit, I hit." "I saw it, good job Erzhu, just do it!" As the squad leader spoke, he clicked the button again.  After pulling the trigger once and knocking down a Japanese corps commander, he quickly entered the trench, skillfully took out yellow-orange bullets and started loading.  Niu Erzhu's confidence suddenly increased, and he began to aim at the next target with great excitement. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his fear and nervousness because of his excitement.  ………………………………… In a secret forward observation post on the Japanese attack position.  Seishiro Itagaki, who came to the front line to command in person, was holding a telescope to watch the fierce battle on the battlefield. He saw the warriors of his own imperial army being shot and falling to the ground under the intensive and fierce firepower of the opponent.  Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help but frowned, and said to the accompanying adjutant behind him: "How come the Chinese machine gun firepower is so powerful?" "Sir, according to intelligence, a large amount of weapons and equipment has been stockpiled in the Shenyang Arsenal of the Northeast Army.  I guess the defenders must have used the equipment stored in the arsenal, which is why the firepower is so strong," the adjutant thought for a while.  "Order the troops to stop the attack, and the artillery troops will immediately carry out fire strikes to destroy the Chinese machine gun positions." Seishiro Itagaki immediately ordered.  "Hai!" An adjutant behind him suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and quickly took the order.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.  Zhang Xinghan saw that the Japanese army, which had been attacking rapidly just now, suddenly stopped attacking and retreated like a tide. He immediately put down his binoculars and said to the communications soldier behind him: "Immediately give an order to Gao Zhihang and ask him to speed up the bombers to take off and target the Japanese artillery positions.  They will destroy the scum of the city and send the son of a bitch to the West!” “Yes.”"" A communications soldier agreed with a bang, and immediately turned around and ran quickly towards the city. The order was quickly passed to Shenyang Airport. After Gao Zhihang, who had been waiting for a long time, received the order, he immediately led more than 20 heavy bombers and more than a dozen more  A fighter jet took off from the Shenyang Airport and headed straight for the south gate battlefield. When the Shenyang soldiers and civilians in the city saw their own aircraft taking off, they couldn't help but cheer and shout "Long Live the Air Force".  Feeling the cheers from the city of Shenyang, he felt very relieved. As a member of the Northeast Army Air Force, he and his comrades could finally contribute to the fellow villagers in the Northeast. When they saw dozens of aircraft on the top of the South Gate City.  Fighter planes passed overhead, and Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sigh: Gao Zhihang's famous name will be resounding throughout China starting in 1931. The Northeast Army Air Force has finally fulfilled its responsibilities and missions. From now on, the Northeast Army will not resist unless  Name, will never appear again PS: Thanks to Tianhai League for the 5888 reward, and thanks to book friend 130124210456903 and sister enigmayanxi for their support.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 30: Defensive Counterattack

    After Zhang Xinghan's order was delivered to Gao Zhihang, before the Northeast Army's air force took off, the Japanese 75 field artillery group took the lead in firing at a regiment's defensive position after receiving the order from Itagaki Seishiro.  Under the Japanese artillery fire, some machine gun positions that had been locked by the Japanese artillery were destroyed. The machine gunners died heroically, and the scene was ablaze.  On the top of the city, Zhang Xinghan saw all this through the telescope. He did not show too much sadness. War has its iron laws, and it is impossible to kill the enemy without sacrifice.  Regarding the transfer of one's own exposed firepower points in advance, Zhang Xinghan did not expect this, but it is easy to say, but how simple is it to actually implement it?  First of all, the machine gun positions and bunkers were selected and constructed in advance based on the entire defensive position. If they were moved due to Japanese artillery fire, it would obviously be too late to come back after the Japanese artillery fire stopped.  Because when the Japanese artillery fire began to extend, the Japanese infantry units had already begun to charge. At this time, the machine gunners returned with a heavy machine gun weighing nearly one hundred kilograms and uncounted ammunition boxes to repair the destroyed position and bunker.  It was obviously too late to set up the machine guns.  The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can it be as easy to move the heavy machine gun position as written in some online novels?  Moved with just a few words.  Moreover, Zhang Xinghan always believed that this kind of embarrassing evasion with little effect was simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause, because the machine gunners who left the fortification bunkers during the evasion process were more likely to be hit by raging shrapnel and cold bullets.  In order to eliminate the threat of the Japanese artillery to our own firepower points, we can only take action from the bottom up, destroy their artillery positions, destroy all artillery, and kill all their artillery.  In fact, this is what Zhang Xinghan planned.  You must know that artillery is no better than other artillery. For Japan, an island country lacking in resources, almost all strategic materials such as steel are imported. For every artillery piece killed by the Japanese, the Japanese have to import a ton of steel from the West, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to re-produce it.  Replenish frontline battle losses.  ??And from the Japanese mainland to China is thousands of miles away, and if you want to transport artillery to the battlefield in mainland China, it will not happen overnight.  Therefore, as long as the Northeast Army's air force is deployed to kill most of the Japanese artillery outside the city, leaving the Japanese without artillery, then in the next battle, the Northeast Army will have the advantage and single-handedly defeat them.  Defeat is no longer a pipe dream.  When the September 18th Incident broke out, the air force was the inherent absolute advantage of the Northeast Army. However, Zhang Xiaoliu did not resist, making them a spoil of war for the Japanese army and unable to exert their due power and mission.  Correspondingly, the Japanese Kwantung Army at this time basically had no air force except for a few reconnaissance aircraft at the Lushun headquarters.  Therefore, in a short period of time, the Northeast Army's air force will have absolute air supremacy.  This is also the original intention of why Zhang Xinghan ordered people to contact Gao Zhihang as soon as he entered Shenyang City.  Gao Zhihang is an excellent pilot and air force commander. It is even more important for Zhang Xiaoliu to set up air force fighters that will become one of the most important forces in defeating the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Itagaki Seishiro stood in the bunker of the forward observation post, admiring the outstanding performance of his own artillery troops through the telescope with a little excitement. Looking at the bloody and bloody Northeast Army soldiers who were killed on the spot in the firelight, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.  A proud sneer appeared.  “The despicable Chinese people dare to resist the powerful Imperial Army of Japan, this is what they will end up with.  However, Itagaki Seishiro's pride did not last long when a familiar and harsh roar suddenly came from the sky.  Itagaki Seishiro changed his face when he heard the sound. As a professional soldier, he clearly heard the harsh roar just now. It was nothing else but the sound of the aircraft engine.  Judging from the intensity of the sound waves, this is by no means one or two aircraft, but an unknown number of mixed aircraft groups.  "What's going on? Where are the fighter planes coming from?" Because the bombing group led by Gao Zhihang flew very fast and passed through the air almost instantly. In addition, Itagaki Seishiro was in a low and hidden bunker. Due to the perspective, he  Not being able to see which direction the fighter jets were coming from, he turned around and shouted in fear.  Soon, a frightened reply came from the guard outside the bunker: "Sir, sir, it's not good, it's a group of Chinese fighter planes. It, they are flying towards the artillery position" Before the guard could finish his words, they were already flying.  After arriving at the destination and discovering the target, Gao Zhihang issued the order to attack. He piloted the fighter plane first and swooped down towards the Japanese artillery position, and the aircraft's machine gun opened fire immediately.  "Thud, tug, tug" Powerful heading machine gun bullets suddenly poured down from under the fuselage like a shower, and the artillery position, which had already fallen into panic, suddenly heardThere was a shrill howl, and several Japanese artillerymen and ammunition soldiers were unable to avoid it, were hit miserably, and immediately fell into a pool of blood.  The two wingmen of Gao Zhihang's plane followed closely behind. They formed a triangle and swooped down from high altitude at almost the same time as Gao Zhihang's fighter plane. They flew at low altitude over the Japanese positions. The aircraft's machine guns opened fire one after another, and bullets rained down on the Japanese troops.  And go.  Other fighter pilots also followed suit. For a time, bullets rained down from the sky, and the Japanese artillerymen fled in panic. Some people were shot and fell down, and the blood quickly stained the ground red.  However, the more violent attacks continued. Just as the dive and low-altitude strafing of more than a dozen fighter jets ended, more than 20 light and heavy bombers arrived as scheduled. The bomb bays were opened one after another, and heavy high-explosive aerial bombs were like meteorites.  It fell out of the belly of the plane, and began to fall vertically with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.  "Boom, boom, boom" Wherever the bombers passed, there was a huge explosion, and fire and smoke rose from the ground, covering the entire Japanese artillery position.  The violent explosion detonated the remaining artillery shells of the Japanese army, which triggered an even more violent explosion. A huge red light rose into the sky accompanied by thick smoke, which could be clearly seen for dozens of miles away.  In this violent explosion, many Japanese artillerymen on the Japanese artillery position were blown to pieces without even screaming, and the powerful artillery they were proud of was also blown into pieces.  Pile of scrap metal.  About two kilometers away, Itagaki Seishiro, who had just stepped out of the front bunker, happened to witness this scene. When he saw the huge fire and thick smoke rising into the sky, Itagaki Seishiro's rat eyes were full of shock, and his face was full of disbelief.  He did not expect that with Zhang Xueliang's order of non-resistance, the Northeast Army's air force would dare to take off fighter planes and openly carry out such a fierce and devastating air attack on the imperial army.  "It's over, the Second Field Artillery Regiment is over." The telescope in Itagaki Seishiro's hand fell to the ground quietly. His mood at this moment can be described as regretful.  Because they had figured out Zhang Xueliang’s and even the entire Nationalist government’s submissive attitude toward Japan in advance, both Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji somewhat underestimated the enemy when they initiated the September 18 Incident.  It wasn’t until the plan to attack Beida Camp and seize Shenyang failed that they finally paid attention to the next combat operation against Shenyang.  And when it was learned that Wang Yizhe was ordered to lead the last main force in Shenyang City, the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army, to evacuate, and that our own troops had captured most of the towns along the South Manchuria Railway, this level of attention dropped again.  Even though they know that there is still a resistance force left by Huang Xiansheng in the city, they think this is not a cause for concern.  Under the premise that Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army would not resist, they ignored that as the only air force of the Northeast Army, the air force stationed at Shenyang Airport would brazenly disobey orders and rise up to attack the imperial army.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji did not expect this, because they focused more on how to eliminate the only resistance force in front of them, thereby capturing the prosperous Shenyang City and occupying the largest Krupp Arsenal in the Far East.  Went to Shenyang Arsenal.  The artillery unit was destroyed and the attack could only be postponed. Extremely annoyed, Itagaki Seishiro issued an order to the accompanying adjutant to postpone the attack. He wanted to go to Ishihara Kanji to discuss countermeasures because he had realized that the Battle of Shenyang might not be realized without them.  It's as easy as imagined.  Itagaki Seishiro's order to postpone the attack does not mean that Zhang Xinghan will give up.  When he saw that Gao Zhihang led the air force to complete the mission, and also carried out bombing and dive strafing on the Japanese attack positions, Zhang Xinghan immediately picked up the phone and ordered the artillery unit that had been prepared: "Fire immediately, all artillery ten rounds  Rapid fire, target Japanese attack position." After putting down the phone, Zhang Xinghan called the first regiment headquarters.  "Hey, Commander Liu, the Japanese artillery positions have been completely destroyed by our air force. It's time to let the little devils have a taste of our power. After the artillery fired ten rapid rounds, the regiment immediately launched an all-out attack on the Japanese positions.  Attack, be sure to seize their attack position!" Zhang Xinghan pointed at the phone and said straight to the point when the call was connected.  On the other end of the phone, Liu Jianguo was startled at first, and then said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Jianguo will take the lead and launch a desperate attack against the Japanese invaders." Zhang Xinghan did not speak. At this time, the artillery deployed in the city had already opened fire.  Fengtian City has begun to be shrouded in gunfire. Looking at the dazzling fireballs dragging their long tail flames across the sky and flying out of the city, Zhang Xinghan hung up the phone.  Zhang Xinghan’s 3rd Battalion brought back 6 75mm Krupp field guns from Peking University Camp. After arriving in Shenyang, Huang Xiansheng’s military and police force also had several mountain guns and field guns, and the original Zhang Xueliang Guards Battalion also had a machine gun battery., equipped with six mortars. In addition, there are no less than a thousand artillery pieces of various types in the Shenyang Arsenal.  There are hundreds of mountain artillery and field artillery, and hundreds of mortars. However, the number of artillerymen who can fire cannons is limited.  Zhang Xinghan could only form an artillery battalion first, with a total of 20 75mm field guns, 16 Japanese Type 92 infantry guns, and more than 30 mortars. In fact, the scale has reached an artillery regiment.  Dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery fired one after another. Under the dazzling firelight, the artillery shells dragged two or three meters of tail flames, piercing the sky like meteors, and slammed down towards the Japanese attack position.  go.  PS: This chapter is a make-up of yesterday’s chapter, I’ll continue writing it after dinner.  My son was sent to his eldest sister's house. He worked hard all night tonight to make up for what he owed today!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 31: Baptism of Recruits

    "Boomboomboom!" The artillery shell fell into the Japanese position, and there was a violent explosion. For a moment, flames burst out, smoke billowed, and the entire Japanese position turned into a sea of ??fire.  The shelling continues, in the first line trenches of the regiment.  Liu Jianguo, wearing a steel helmet and carrying a ghost-headed sword in his hand, led his guard platoon and strode along the traffic trench to the front line trench.  At this time, our own artillery was still firing, and shells kept passing over their heads with a harsh whistling sound.  "The group is here!" an attendant and adjutant shouted at the top of his lungs.  For a moment, a group of officers and soldiers in the trench stood up one after another and cast their eyes at Liu Jianguo and others in unison, which naturally included the little pork guy Niu Erzhu.  Under the watchful eyes of all the officers and soldiers, Liu Jianguo arrived at the middle section of the trench.  He looked around at his surrounding subordinates with sharp eyes, and suddenly shouted in a cold voice: "Everyone has it!" All the veterans stood up and stood at attention, clutching the steel guns in their hands, and the recruits quickly followed suit.  "Fire the bayonet!" Liu Jianguo's eyes seemed to have a fire burning, and he roared again with a fierce fighting spirit.  "Shuashua!" The well-trained veterans immediately executed the military order, pulled out their sharp bayonets, and clicked them onto their guns.  With the veterans taking the lead in demonstrating, the somewhat confused recruits also followed suit and mounted their bayonets on their guns. However, compared to the well-trained veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles, their movements lacked a bit of sharpness and ease.  .  At this time, the artillery battalion in the city had almost completed its ten-round rapid fire, and the Japanese army's position was already a sea of ??fire, with wailing all over the place.  "Brothers, the time has come to show off the bravery of our Northeastern Army. Anyone who is a man, I will pick up the guy, press him up, and fuck the little devil!" After Liu Jianguo finished speaking, he suddenly swung the sword forward in his hand.  , shouted sternly: "Come on!" As soon as he said that, he jumped out of the trench and took the lead.  "Ah, kill!" The first to react were the well-trained veterans. They had already felt the burning fighting spirit in Liu Jianguo's eyes. It could be said that they had been waiting for a long time. When Liu Jianguo swung his sword, his voice had not yet fallen.  .  They turned around and jumped out of the trenches one after another, roaring in response: "Charge, kill! Kill!" Their bravery inspired the recruits who were slower to respond. They watched their officers and comrades jump out of the trenches one by one, holding rifles in the direction of the Japanese positions.  Rushing forward, the new recruits, including Niu Erzhu, were also deeply affected. They jumped out of the trenches one after another, roaring and rushing forward.  A bird's-eye view of the battlefield from the top of Shenyang City shows that when Liu Jianguo led a regiment to attack the Japanese army, the scene was extremely spectacular.  "Kill!" Under the leadership of Liu Jianguo, more than two thousand officers and soldiers rushed toward the Japanese position like a tidal wave bursting from a dike.  On the Japanese position, Seishiro Itagaki, who was hurriedly knocked down by the guards and hid in a bunker, struggled to crawl out.  Because the Northeastern Army's artillery attack came too suddenly, and a shell landed not far from Itagaki Seishiro and exploded, he did not have time to evacuate in time.  If it weren’t for the desperate efforts of the guards to save him, Itagaki Seishiro would probably have died in battle, and his soul would have returned to Japan to see their Emperor.  Pushing the guard’s body away, Itagaki Seishiro raised his head and looked around, only to see fire and gunpowder smoke everywhere as well as the wails of his injured officers and soldiers.  "Sir, it's not good, the Chinese have attacked us." A lieutenant commander reported anxiously while being happy to see Itagaki Seishiro survived.  "Baga, organize the troops, hold on for me, hold on!" Itagaki Seishiro remained in shock for the rest of his life. When he saw the lieutenant colonel who looked flustered in front of him, he couldn't help but get furious.  "Hai!" The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel suddenly lowered his head, took out his saber and turned around to organize the troops.  Itagaki Seishiro staggered towards the rear and withdrew. As an ambitious imperial man, he knew that he had to put himself in a safe place before making any plans. Of course he wanted to command the troops to resist him, but he was more afraid of losing it.  Life, because what he just experienced left him with lingering fears for the rest of his life, and he truly felt the threat of death.  "Kill!" Liu Jianguo bravely charged forward, holding the ghost head sword high and was the first to rush into the Japanese position despite the hail of bullets.  A fierce hand-to-hand battle began.  Liu Jianguo and his guard platoon were all experienced soldiers. Among the officers and soldiers of the regiment, they were the most courageous. Wherever they went, Japanese troops fell one after another.  The veterans following Liu Jianguo and the guard platoon were not left behind. They all fought for their lives and hacked to death.  The last ones who rushed up were the new recruits. At first theyThe soldiers who followed the veterans basically advanced very smoothly, and all they encountered were the corpses of fallen Japanese soldiers.  But as the fierce battle progressed, the recruits finally came into contact with the Japanese soldiers.  After Niu Erzhu shot and killed a Japanese soldier who was stabbed by the squad leader, before he could pull the gun bolt again, a Japanese soldier stabbed him with his gun.  At this time, the squad leader was fighting with a Japanese corps commander and had no time to help him. Seeing the bright bayonet stabbing him, Niu Erzhu didn't care about pushing the bullet into the chamber anymore and quickly waved his gun to block it.  "Bang!" Niu Erzhu's rifle collided with the Japanese soldier's bayonet in a sweeping move. Even though Niu Erzhu was fat and thought he had considerable strength, under this collision, he still felt his hands numb.  , the tiger's mouth seemed to have burst, and the pain was unbearable.  Before the attack was successful, the Japanese soldier was obviously experienced and quickly drew his gun and retreated, not giving Niu Erzhu a chance to counterattack. In fact, if he didn't do this, Niu Erzhu might not be able to seize the opportunity to counterattack.  During the confrontation, Niu Erzhu saw clearly the appearance of this Japanese man. He was not tall, but his body seemed to be quite strong and thick. The 38 rifle and bayonet in his hand were almost as long as his height. He looked very funny.  .  But Niu Erzhu couldn't laugh at all at this moment. He stabbed with bare blades and went on the battlefield with real swords and spears. This was his first time. Although he shot and killed someone in the defensive battle just now, the white knife went in and the red knife came out in the fierce hand-to-hand combat.  , he has never experienced it, and it is inevitable that he will be nervous and afraid.  Especially Niu Erzhu saw the cold murderous intention in the eyes of this Japanese soldier, which he had never encountered or possessed before.  If you are timid before fighting, your momentum will be at a disadvantage.  The Japanese soldiers obviously noticed this, and immediately roared, and stabbed at Niu Erzhu again with their guns.  With fear in his heart, Niu Erzhu could only retreat in panic while waving his gun to block.  At this time, the squad leader who was fighting with the enemy saw the danger of Niu Erzhu from the corner of his eye. He was so anxious that he kicked away a Japanese corps leader who was fighting with him, turned around and ran towards Niu Erzhu.  "Er Zhu, be careful!" Seeing that Niu Erzhu was about to be stabbed by the Japanese soldier's bayonet, the veteran squad leader shouted and hurriedly waved the rifle in his hand.  There was a muffled "clang" sound, and the Japanese soldier's bayonet was knocked open again. Before the Japanese soldier could react, the veteran squad leader quickly stepped forward and stabbed his chest with the rifle in his hand.  "Pfft!" The bayonet on the muzzle of the gun pierced the Japanese soldier's chest in an instant, completely piercing his back. The Japanese soldier looked at him with an unwilling face, and blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth.  However, before the veteran squad leader could draw out his bayonet, an angry shout of "Baga" suddenly came from behind him, followed immediately by the sound of a sharp blade breaking flesh: "Pfft." A bayonet penetrated from his back to his front.  Chest, the veteran squad leader lowered his head in pain and looked at the blood-stained bayonet tip, then raised his head and wanted to say something to the stunned Niu Erzhu.  But when he opened his mouth, blood surged out, and in the end he was unable to speak.  Niu Erzhu stood blankly on the spot, watching everything that happened in front of him with a blank mind. The monitor actually died. He died to save himself. He died.  Such voices sounded one after another in my mind.  "New recruits are afraid of guns, veterans are afraid of weapons." "When I was a soldier, I was the same as you, so don't be afraid." The squad leader's words to him not long ago echoed in his ears like a magic voice, and Niu Erzhu's eyes became moist.  The tears couldn't stop falling.  "Go join the army, don't embarrass me." What his father said to himself before joining the army also came out at this time.  "I want revenge! Revenge for the squad leader!" A roar of hatred roared in his heart, and Niu Erzhu's eyes began to turn red.  At this time, the Japanese captain who had sneak-attacked the squad leader drew his bayonet, and the veteran squad leader fell together with the Japanese soldier.  The Japanese army commander regarded Niu Erzhu as his next target and rushed towards Niu Erzhu with an angry roar.  "You little devil, I'm going to fuck your grandma!" Niu Erzhu roared like a crazy bull, and charged forward with his rifle.  …………………………………………………… In this hand-to-hand battle, one regiment won. With their enthusiasm, they defeated the Japanese army who had the advantage in panic and killed more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.  The remaining Japanese troops fled in panic.  Of course, the regiment also paid the price of more than 500 casualties. There were veterans among them, but there were more recruits. War is like this. It has its iron laws. In such a tragic and fierce battle, both sides will have unavoidable consequences.  Casualties, the key is who wins the final victory.  &nbsp;The first regiment won. Although they paid nearly a quarter of their casualties, more recruits among them saw blood and completed the first qualitative transformation from farmers to qualified soldiers.  They won this battle, and they won it with the hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese are most proud of. They are extremely proud of it. This will have an indescribable impact on their future growth.  Winning the first battle has an extremely important impact on a unit. After this battle, they will have a belief in their hearts that we are the real elite and we are invincible.  At this time, the sun had begun to set, and Niu Erzhu knelt in front of the corpse of the veteran squad leader, inserted a 38-meter cap upside down next to the corpse of the veteran squad leader, and remained silent for a long time.  Not far from him, the Japanese corps commander had been dead for a long time, but it was Niu Erzhu who killed him.  There were no tears in Niu Erzhu's eyes at this moment, but only indifference and hatred. He didn't even know the name of the squad leader who had saved his life.  At this moment, he was full of regret, why he didn't ask the monitor a few hours ago so that he could have a place to repay his kindness.  While feeling remorse, Niu Erzhu's hatred of the Japanese increased.  After silently kowtowing three times to the corpse of the veteran squad leader, Niu Erzhu stood up suddenly, pulled out the 38 cap of the veteran squad leader, glanced at his benefactor, turned around and strode away.  For a recruit to become a qualified elite soldier, this is an indispensable process. In the process of growing up, many recruits have witnessed the officers, comrades, and brothers they spent all day and night dying on the battlefield and having their bones buried.  A foreign country.  Precisely because they have experienced life and death tests and baptisms over and over again, they gradually grow up, and their minds can slowly change from the initial immature, cowardly, and kind-hearted to cold-blooded, tough, and brave, and finally become a real soldier.  Niu Erzhu was like this, most of the recruits in the regiment were like this, and it was also like this for millions of athletes who joined the army after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance.  "Squad leader, don't worry, I will use the life you gave me to continue the unfinished mission of you and your brothers." Niu Erzhu made a heavy promise in his heart.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 32: Fierce Battle at the Airport (Preface)

    The defenders won the first battle, and the news that the arrogant Japanese Kwantung Army was defeated by them and fled in panic soon spread like a whirlwind throughout the city of Shenyang.  For a time, all the soldiers and civilians in the city were immersed in the joy and excitement of victory. The whole city cheered and the soldiers and civilians celebrated together.  When Liu Jianguo returned with a group of surviving soldiers, Zang Shiyi, then governor of Liaoning Province and mayor of Shenyang City, had already led a large number of businessmen and gentlemen in the city and thousands of Shenyang citizens who came spontaneously out of the south gate to welcome him.  As the acting city defense commander of Fengtian City, Zhang Xinghan is naturally among them.  More than a thousand soldiers returned from the bloody battle. Under the leadership of regiment leader Liu Jianguo, they lined up outside the south gate and stood ready.  Liu Jianguo stepped forward, came to Zhang Xinghan and Zang Shiyi, stood upright and saluted solemnly: "Come to the camp, Governor Zang, our regiment has fulfilled its mission and won the first battle!" Zhang Xinghan nodded, while Zang Shiyi on the side had a look on his face.  He stepped forward excitedly and said: "Captain Liu, well done. Your regiment has made great contributions to the defense of Shenyang. I will ask the young marshal to take credit for you. But for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of elders in Shenyang, I hope you will continue to work hard."  "Governor, please rest assured. Our regiment of soldiers swears to live and die with Fengtian. As long as one of us is alive and breathing, we will never let the Japanese enter Shenyang City."  "Liu Jianguo immediately expressed his position.  "Okay, the soldiers have worked hard, and their families are all looking forward to being reunited with them. Let's disband first." Zang Shiyi said, turning to Zhang Xinghan and asking: "Commander Zhang, what do you think?" "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan's instruction, Liu Jianguo immediately turned around and issued an order: "Everyone disbands and returns to the team to assemble in fifteen minutes." Liu Jianguo gave the order and the troops immediately disbanded. At this time, a large number of orphans, widows and elderly people suddenly emerged from the crowd of people.  Callers and callers rushed towards the disbanded soldiers.  When the recruits, who had just experienced a baptism of life and death, saw their parents, wives and children, they couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards their relatives one after another.  Many people held their heads and wept with their wives, children, and parents. They felt both the joy of being reunited after life and death, and the fear and grievance of witnessing the brutal battlefield of life and death. At this moment, the recruits vented their suppressed emotions to their heart's content, and they burst into tears.  For the first time, I felt the preciousness of life. Being able to come back alive to see my wife, children, and parents was more important than anything else.  Of course, this does not mean that they will lose their fighting spirit and be afraid of going to the battlefield again. On the contrary, after crying and venting, they will pick up their guns without hesitation, put on their military uniforms, and rush to the battlefield again.  Because after they experienced the tragic battle and the ferocity of the Japanese army, and survived and returned to their relatives, they finally understood what the goal was for which they fought so bloody hard.  That is their wives, sons, daughters, and parents. In order for them to live happily and to prevent the Japanese bayonets from causing any harm to them, they must carry their guns and go to the battlefield like men.  Because they have no choice, this may be the sorrow of a man, a man in the battlefield era. It is also their supreme honor. It is a supreme honor to go to the battlefield for the fathers, wives, sons and daughters of his hometown, and to fight bloody battles for the country and the nation. This is the supreme honor.  .  The new recruit Niu Erzhu was no exception. As soon as the army was disbanded, his father Zhu Ganglie came calling him by his name in a panic.  Niu Erzhu saw his father's anxious eyes and walked over quickly with a gun on his back.  "Er Zhu! It's great that you are still alive." Zhu Ganglie also saw his son and was immediately ecstatic.  "Plop!" Niu Erzhu suddenly knelt in front of Zhu Ganglie.  Zhu Ganglie was visibly startled by his son's kneeling, and said: "Er Zhu, what are you doing? Get up quickly." "Dad, Er Zhu didn't embarrass you or our ancestors, I killed four Japanese.  Niu Erzhu said with a solemn expression.  "Well, dad knows, dad is proud of you." Zhu Ganglie nodded with great pleasure and said: "Get up quickly." "Dad, listen to Er Zhu's words." Niu Er Zhu did not get up, but continued: "Dad  , I want to tell you that from today on, Erzhu may not be able to fulfill his filial piety for you until you die, because your life is no longer your own. My life was saved by our squad leader. From now on  From now on, I will be a soldier, and I will always be prepared to sacrifice my life for the country. I will take over the squad leader’s gun to complete his unfinished mission and ideals. Even if one day, my son dies on the battlefield, dad should not be sad, because  Your son will not embarrass you, nor will he embarrass our ancestors. He died for the country." After saying that, Niu Erzhu burst into tears and kowtowed three times to Zhu Ganglie.  Listening to his son’s tear-jerking words, Zhu Gang…? Silent, many years ago he was as young as his son, and like him, he was awakened by this dog-eared war, something in his body that had been dormant for a long time.  "Dad won't blame you, get up." Zhu Ganglie nodded solemnly and pulled his son up after kowtowing to him.  ????????????Many recruits can return home in triumph, still alive and crying with their relatives, but the relatives of the hundreds of soldiers who died in the battle can only cry loudly around their bodies.  Seeing this scene, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but echo the last two lines of a poem. Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times!  However, his subordinates could not even drink a glass of water or wine before setting off for the expedition. Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan felt deeply self-blame and guilt. Although it is impossible to fight without casualties, witnessing such a tragic separation of life and death, separated by yin and yang,  Scene, Zhang Xinghan is not a tree, how can he be ruthless?  Determined, Zhang Xinghan strode towards the remains of the fallen soldiers. Most of these corpses were carried back by the living soldiers.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming forward, Zang Shiyi and others followed him even though they didn't know why.  Arriving in front of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, Zhang Xinghan took off the helmet on his head and saluted them with a standard military salute.  When Liu Jianguo, Zang Shiyi and others saw this, they took off their helmets and caps one after another as if they had some understanding, followed by the surviving officers and soldiers who followed suit.  "Raise your gun and fire a gun to see off the fallen soldiers, our brothers, our heroes!" Zhang Xinghan said loudly.  The soldiers present raised their guns one after another, pulled the bolts and got ready. With a wave of Liu Jianguo's hand, they all pulled the triggers.  In an instant, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and the dense gunfire echoed over the south gate for a long time.  After handing over the bodies of the fallen soldiers to Zang Shiyi’s organization for burial, Zhang Xinghan took Liu Jianguo and others back to his city defense headquarters. Although the regiment won the first battle, Zhang Xinghan knew that the Japanese would never give up, so.  The real battle has just begun.  Therefore, he needs to make arrangements for the next battle.  After returning to the headquarters, Liu Jianguo was the first to ask: "Bingzuo, shall we organize our troops to take the opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army? Defeat them completely." "No." Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said, "In the battle just now,  Although we have won the victory, it is far from time for a full-scale counterattack, because the main force of the Japanese army is still there, and we still have the strength to fight. Moreover, we will suffer a lot of casualties in such a battle. If we force a counterattack, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy.  It is possible that we will be defeated by the enemy." "Then let's continue to hold on," Liu Jianguo said.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "But the Japanese army will definitely change the target of attack next." "Move the target?" Liu Jianguo looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.  "Yes, because they suffered a big loss from our air force today, I think they will definitely launch an attack on our Shenyang Airport with all their strength in an attempt to disrupt our air force superiority and defeat us." Zhang Xinghan explained.  "Then we have to strengthen the airport's defense force as soon as possible." Liu Jianguo said immediately after visiting the airport.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded again and said, "I have already thought about it. I will leave the defense of the airport to your group. You have been to the airport and have an understanding of the surrounding environment and the airport's garrison strength. The important thing is that the airport  It is our top priority in the defense of Shenyang and there is absolutely no room for failure. The first regiment is formed from our 3rd Battalion, and you have just fought against the Japanese, so it is most appropriate to send your regiment.  Liu Jianguo nodded in agreement, and then asked: "What about the defense of the South Gate?" "Leave the defense of the South Gate to the Second Regiment. You can immediately lead the First Regiment to the airport. In addition, pass my order to the Shenyang Airport ** garrison camp."  We will be organized into a regiment and you will be under unified command," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo happily accepted the order, saluted, and strode away.  After Liu Jianguo left, the phone in the city defense headquarters suddenly rang. Zhang Xinghan walked over and picked up the phone: "I'm Zhang Xinghan." On the other end of the phone, Gao Zhihang, who had just made great military exploits, said excitedly: "Commander Zhang, this is  Did our air force do well in the first battle? " "Well, our victory this time is all due to the full strength of the air force led by Brother Ziheng," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible or not." Gao Zhihang said.  "Brother Ziheng, please tell me," Zhang Xinghan said.  "As far as I know, the Japanese troops are now massing in the area of ??Sujiatun Station. Is it necessary for our air force to carry out air strikes and bombings against them?" Gaozhi Channel.  It was obvious that after the battle, both Gao Zhihang and the pilots of the Northeast Army were looking forward to going out again.??, pouring out their fury on the Japanese.  "I've thought about this before, but brother Zi Heng, as far as I know your air force's fuel reserves are not very large, so I think it's better to control the number of sorties and use them when you are needed most." Phone call  Zhang Xinghan on the other end pondered for a moment and said.  How could he not know that it is very satisfying to have air superiority and carry out air strikes against the Japanese army? It can not only deplete the morale of the Japanese army, but also cause certain damage to them.  However, Zhang Xinghan knows more about the value of fuel. At this time, China does not have the ability to produce its own gasoline. Although there is a Daqing oil field in the northeast with amazing reserves, he does not yet have the opportunity or ability to exploit it. He can only wait for the future.  .  Therefore, Zhang Xiaoliu had to use some of the fuel he had accumulated when he was in charge of the family, so that he could maximize the value of the air force and bomb the Japanese army. The first time the effect might be good, but when the Japanese army was prepared, it would  It will have little effect.  Rather than doing this, it is better to save it and use it in battles like today to help ground troops win. This is the most cost-effective way.  "Yes, Ziheng understands." Gao Zhihang naturally knew about the fuel reserves, so he responded immediately.  ………………………………… As Zhang Xinghan expected, Itagaki Seishiro retreated hastily to Sujiatun in defeat.  Immediately smiled at Ishihara and said: "Ishihara-kun, we must destroy the Chinese airfield and air force and disintegrate their air force advantage. Otherwise, we will face a huge air threat." "Well, I think so too.  "After Ishihara Wanji heard about the failure of the front line, he thought about it in detail. In his opinion, it will take time to wait for the air force fighters to be mobilized from the mainland, and now they must capture Shenyang as soon as possible, because now September 1  The news of the outbreak of the Eighth Incident has basically not spread.  “The international community does not know yet, and the Nationalist Government has not yet had time to make any response.  They must capture Shenyang as soon as possible and create the fact that the Kwantung Army has actually occupied it. Only in this way can the Japanese remain invincible in future negotiations and in response to so-called international public opinion.  Furthermore, the Chinese ** team in Shenyang City has posed a serious threat to them. If they cannot eliminate them, they are likely to be defeated by them.  The current Ishihara Waul and Akihashiro Ishigaki are like opening the arrow of the bows. They can't turn back, they can only go down one way until they win this conflict.  "Then I will organize the troops immediately and attack Dongta Airport immediately." Itagaki Seishiro said immediately when he saw Ishihara Wanji agreeing.  PS: Thanks to Tianhai League, Daqin League and Kunlun Beggar King, Kuangqin, Lao Wang Arthur and other brothers for their rewards and support. Congratulations to Tianhai Xiangyun for becoming the first protector of Huben during the war. Thank you Qiufeng and we will work harder.  There was a heavy rain in Anhui. Damn it, there was a violent storm last night, and the power and network were cut off. Today the network is also extremely unstable. I can’t even get to the starting point. The most important thing is that my dozen acres of wheat were all blown down by the strong wind.  It will be harvested in about twenty days. Damn you, how much production will be reduced? Woohoo, I have more than 10,000 yuan of hard-earned money!

    "Yo Xi, this attack must be fought quickly, so Mr. Itagaki, I have ordered the remaining artillerymen to carry poison gas bombs with the army to attack." Ishihara Wanji looked at his good friend meaningfully and said: "The airport is facing the Chinese people  It is very important for me. I think they will definitely deploy heavy troops for defense, so" "Ishihara-kun, please don't worry too much. I have my own sense of everything. However, there is something that Ishihara-kun needs to do quickly. The Second Field Artillery Regiment  The entire army has been almost wiped out. We are in urgent need of organic artillery support. Ishihara-kun, you must immediately request Commander Honjo Shige for additional artillery support, the sooner the better," said Itagaki Seishiro.  “I’ll do it right away.” ……………………………………………………… In the evening, on the campus of Yanjing University in the western suburbs of Peking.  At this point, it has been more than 20 hours since the September 18th Incident broke out. Compared with the raging war and the sound of killing outside the customs, the campus of Yenching University seems much quieter and peaceful.  The moonlight shines softly on the campus, as if it is covered with a layer of silver, adding a little silence.  The cool breeze blew gently, causing the flowers and trees to sway.  The teachers in a room in the north corner of the campus did not turn off the lights as early as usual. The lights are still brightly lit, which is particularly conspicuous in the dark night.  On campus, a young female teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses announced to dozens of male and female students in the classroom with excitement: "Students, according to the latest news, the Japanese brazenly attacked our Northeastern Army last night.  Beidaying and Shenyang City have launched an offensive. Now the whole outside the pass is in flames, and the Japanese invaders have begun to trample the beautiful rivers and mountains of our three eastern provinces. The thirty million elders outside the pass are about to be in dire straits. At this point, the country is in crisis and the nation is in danger.  On this occasion, the school has decided to organize all teachers and students to march in Beiping City tomorrow to call on the people to resist and urge Zhang Xueliang to use force to defend the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. I hope everyone can participate.” “I will participate.  "Dozens of male and female students expressed their opinions with indignation, but one of them fell into deep silence.  "Mom, dad, brother, are you all okay? Nothing will happen to you, God bless you." Sitting in the back row, the handsome Zhang Xinghua murmured a prayer to himself.  "Xinghua, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about?" At some point, the young female teacher had walked beside him. Seeing that he was not gathering together with other students to excitedly discuss how to march for petitions and anti-Japanese wishes, the young female teacher  The teacher couldn't help but asked with some doubts.  "Teacher Su, I'm fine." Hearing the heavenly voice, Zhang Xinghua woke up from his meditation, looked up at the beautiful face that had haunted him for many years, and answered with a smile.  Three years ago, when he was just eighteen years old, he fell in love with this fairy-like gentle girl at first sight when they first met her, even though she was a few years older than him and she was his teacher.  Although it is against ethics, Zhang Xinghua doesn't care because he knows that she is not heartless towards him.  From a worldly perspective, the gap in family background between the two parties forced them to stop at love.  "Is everything okay?" Su Hanyun asked worriedly knowing that Zhang Xinghua's family members were all in the Northeast.  "Teacher Su, do you know what the current situation is in Shenyang? Has it fallen?" Zhang Xinghua didn't want to ask her more, but when he thought of his parents and elder brother far away in Shenyang, he couldn't bear it anymore.  "It probably hasn't fallen yet. The specific news will be known later, so don't worry too much." Su Hanyun replied with a concerned tone.  "Yeah." Although Zhang Xinghua was worried in his heart, but under the unclear situation, he would not do anything unusual in a hurry, but nodded knowingly.  ………………………………… At the same time, Zhang Xueliang was in his mansion in Peiping.  It has been more than 20 hours since the September 18th Incident broke out. Zhang Xueliang went from being surprised at the beginning to becoming extremely anxious now.  Because he had just received news that Huang Xiansheng handed over the command of the garrison to Zhang Xinghan, who had made the first contribution, and this news was confirmed by Wang Yizhe who was retreating towards Jinzhou.  At the same time, Wang Yizhe also reported to him a piece of news that shocked him even more. According to the report of the scouts of the 7th Brigade, who were left behind by the new recruits, Zhang Xinghan led the defenders to once again defeat the Japanese army at the gate of Fengtian City. It was not repelled, but  It was a serious defeat.  In addition, Zhang Xueliang also learned that the air force that he and his father had spent countless efforts to build was also controlled by Zhang Xinghan, and he used the air force to participate in the counterattack against the Japanese army.  At this time, Zhang Xueliang fell into a conflict of hesitation. On the one hand, he did not want toHis subordinates resisted, thus giving the Japanese army an excuse to expand the situation and launch a large-scale war. On the other hand, he was somewhat unwilling to give up the three northeastern provinces that his father had worked hard to conquer.  Although he, Zhang Xiaoliu, was a prodigal, it would still be a bit painful to throw away such a huge family property at will.  Not knowing what to do, Zhang Xueliang naturally fell into anxiety. The policy of non-resistance was an established decision in the Nanjing government's internal policy of war against foreign aggression. Before a certain army was solved, Jiang Gong and even the entire National Government and him  Zhang Hanqing is not optimistic about a large-scale national war with the Japanese in advance.  Especially Zhang Hanqing. Not long ago, in order to compete with the Russians for the Eastern Railway, he led the elite Northeast Army in a fight with Lao Maozi, but the result was a disastrous defeat. From this battle, Zhang Xiaoliu had some shadows in his heart.  The shadow of fear against the armies of the great powers.  In his subconscious mind, his Northeastern Army could not even defeat the Russians. How could they be the Japanese who had defeated the Russians many years ago with an outnumbered enemy?  Therefore, he lacked the courage to resist. Even though he knew that the Japanese army might take action, he still issued an order of non-resistance to the troops.  At this point, Jiang Gong in Nanjing and he had an amazing tacit understanding. Jiang Gong did not want to resist, at least not now, because he believed that his internal troubles had not been eliminated and it was difficult to compete with the Japanese.  Of course, as the leader of a country, Jiang Gong cannot directly issue a non-resistance order to the Northeast Army, so this order can only be issued by Zhang Xiaoliu, who also has the same non-resistance mentality.  That is to say, you will be blamed for the sinners of the nation. Just like in history, after the failure of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, in order to cope with the condemnation of public opinion, Jiang Gong said meaningfully to Zhang Xiaoliu, "Now the people of the country are very dissatisfied with us, and the two of us must have a relationship."  Go down alone so that they can shut their mouths." Finally, Zhang Xiaoliu was very generous and wise and went to visit Europe.  Therefore, in terms of non-resistance, Zhang Xiaoliu always maintained an amazing tacit understanding with the Nanjing government, and everything was kept secret.  If you, Zhang Xueliang, want the Northeastern Army to resist, that's fine. You just need to be sure that you can stop Japan's overwhelming troops.  Zhang Xueliang is not Zhang Zuolin. He does not have the courage, let alone the courage. Between death and preserving his strength, he chose the latter.  As mentioned earlier, in order to preserve his strength, he ordered the Northeast Army not to resist. However, when Zhang Xinghan won successive victories in Shenyang, he fell into conflict again and did not know whether to defend or give up completely.  “Human beings are complex animals, and Zhang Xiaoliu’s performance at this time perfectly interpreted this sentence.  After weighing it again and again, Zhang Xueliang made up his mind. He picked up his pen and started writing a telegram. He wanted to personally write a telegram to Zhang Xinghan, urging him to abandon Shenyang and lead his army to retreat to Jinzhou.  Now that he has given up most of the Northeast, there is no point in Zhang Xinghan holding on to the isolated city of Shenyang. Through the battle between Beidaying and Shenyang, Zhang Xueliang, who is fairly knowledgeable, has already seen that this Zhang Xinghan is a talent and can be entrusted to him.  Talents with important responsibilities.  He should keep such talents around and focus on cultivating them to prepare for the future.  It has to be said that Zhang Xiaoliu, one of the four most handsome men in the Republic of China, writes very quickly. In just ten minutes, two pieces of rice paper have been filled with his writing. After finishing writing, Zhang Xiaoliu immediately faced the door with dignity.  shouted: "Adjutant!" "Young Marshal!" An attendant adjutant came in and saluted: "What are your orders?" "Go and give this message to the Communications Department and ask them to send it to Shenyang City Defense Commander Zhang Xinghan as soon as possible.  "Zhang Xiaoliu handed the message to the adjutant, and he did not forget to say: "Add a sentence at the end of the message, I hope you will not shirk this order." "Yes!" The adjutant took the message and stood at attention suddenly.  He immediately accepted the order and left happily.  PS: I am Qiu Feng. It is raining heavily in Anhui and the entire network is down. There is still no power outage at all. So I hurriedly coded out a chapter and sent it to my editor on the Blu-ray with my mobile phone. I asked him to upload it for me. Please don’t blame me, book friends. Today  That's all the updates can do.  Without the Internet, it would be difficult to write without information.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 34 Fierce Battle at the Airport (2)

    (I am the author's editor. The author is temporarily unable to access the Internet, so I will upload it on my behalf) The Shenyang Airport of the Northeastern Army is located between Dongling and the South Canal, and is called Dongta Airport.  Dongta Airport is located in the southeast of Shenyang. Since it is blocked by the South Canal, if the Japanese army wants to attack, in addition to forcibly crossing the canal, they will have to bypass the south of Shenyang city.  The detour attack from the south of Shenyang City is obviously not in line with the Japanese army's original intention of a quick victory, and may also expose the target and encounter interception by the Shenyang defenders.  Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro chose the route to forcefully cross the South Canal. In order to capture Dongta Airport in one fell swoop, Itagaki Seishiro deployed 3,000 elite troops this time and equipped them with a large number of poison gas bombs.  Unlike the attack on Shenyang in the afternoon, although Itagaki Seishiro mobilized more than 6,000 people to attack Shenyang, in addition to the artillery troops, they also had to divide their troops to feign attack on the other gates except the south gate. Therefore, the number of troops used for the frontal attack was only two to three thousand.  people.  And attacking the East Tower Airport, Itagaki Seishiro can concentrate his troops in one place and attack with all his strength, so three thousand elite troops are more than enough to attack the airport.  Taking advantage of the darkness, Itagaki Seishiro personally led his troops to the east bank of the South Canal. Looking at the calm river that was not too wide, Itagaki Seishiro ordered the troops to prepare to cross the river with a wave of his hand. Soon more than 3,000 Japanese troops began to get busy.  Dongta Airport has the natural danger of the South Canal, so the Dongta Airport garrison naturally has to make good use of it. This combat idea was already determined when the airport was built.  Therefore, the airport garrison battalion had already built field defense positions along the river. Before Itagaki Seishiro's troops arrived, Liu Jianguo had already led a group to the airport and quickly took over the airport's defense, including the riverside positions outside the airport.  .  Although Itagaki Seishiro's troops were very careful and did not even use torches, it was not so easy for more than 3,000 people to repair their positions and prepare river crossing equipment in a concealed manner. Their whereabouts were soon discovered by the Northeastern Army sentries on the other side.  The sentry did not say anything, but quickly reported the information to Liu Jianguo.  Inside the airport, inside the temporary headquarters of the First Regiment.  Regiment leader Liu Jianguo was arranging combat missions for several battalion commanders, including the former commander of the airport garrison battalion. A soldier suddenly walked in quickly and reported to him: "Regiment seat, traces of Japanese troops were found on the other side of the river. They  It seems that they are preparing to cross the river. "It's really coming. Order the artillery to bombard the other side immediately," Liu Jianguo said calmly.  "Yes!" The soldier saluted and took the order.  Liu Jianguo then ordered Gao Chu, the former commander of the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment and the current commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment, beside him: "Old Gao, you go back immediately. The 1st Battalion must be nailed to the West Bank for me like a nail."  , As long as we survive tonight, our air force will be able to take off and bomb at dawn. By then, the little devil will be all over the place and it will be too late to run away!" "Yes!"  Gao Chu admired his old boss sincerely. Although he was the slowest to rise among the company commanders of the original 3rd Battalion, he had no complaints because his 1st Battalion was the old foundation of the original 3rd Battalion, the 1st Battalion and even the entire Shenyang  The most elite heroic troops in the city, they were the ones who annihilated more than 500 Japanese troops in Beida Camp last night and lifted the siege of Shenyang.  "Boom, boom, boom" The muffled sound of a series of artillery shells rang out, and the eight Krupp 75 mountain guns deployed at the airport fired one after another. The shells turned into bright and dazzling fire balls heading south in the dark night.  Flying quickly towards the east bank of the canal.  Looking at the artillery fire that suddenly fell from the sky, Seishiro Itagaki, who was waiting for the troops to repair their positions and prepare the equipment to cross the river, was shocked. After cursing a bastard, he lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" Just as he lay down, several artillery shells came as promised, crashed down hard, and a violent explosion occurred.  "Bagaya Road, despicable Chinese people, the artillery fires back immediately!" Seishiro Itagaki, whose face was covered with dust and his head was covered with dirt, suddenly roared angrily.  However, his roar was drowned out by the violent explosions that sounded one after another. The other Japanese soldiers fled in panic. No one heard his order at all, let alone executed it.  It wasn't until the second round of artillery bombardment from the Northeastern Army had yet to arrive that the adjutant heard his roar, and then he ran over desperately: "Sir, what are your instructions?" "Order the artillery to fight back immediately, fight back!" Itagaki Seishiro really said  He was so angry that the majestic Imperial Army of Japan was repeatedly hit by artillery fire by the despicable and insignificant Northeastern Army. This was simply unacceptable to him.  Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the adjutant's face suddenly became ugly, and he said awkwardly: "Sir, have you forgotten that our large-caliber mountain artillery and infantry artillery were destroyed by the Chinese, and the remaining artillery pieces were left in Sujiatun  It is ready to be used to attack Shenyang City. We only carry 60mm with the army.Fire cannon.  "    "so what?  The 60MM mortar group can still fight back, right?  "Itagaki Seishiro said without thinking in anger. "At this moment, the second round of artillery fire from the Northeastern Army came as scheduled. This time the explosion was even worse than the first time, with fire and flying earth debris everywhere. "Itagaki Seishiro  He and the adjutant lowered their heads and hid. The adjutant explained: "Sir, it is not difficult to judge from the power and ballistics of the Chinese artillery fire that they are using the Krupp 75 field artillery group. Their artillery position has exceeded our 60-meter force."  The effective range of the artillery was so we could not suppress them.  " "Baga Ya Road!  "Itagaki Seishiro immediately went berserk after hearing this, "Do you know that if this continues, we will not be able to capture the East Tower Airport before dawn, and once dawn, we will face the threat of air strikes from the Northeast Army Air Force. By then  , the situation will be worse!  " "Sir, the top priority right now is to evacuate as soon as possible. The Chinese are already prepared. It will be difficult for us to capture the Dongta Airport without strong artillery support.  "The adjutant suggested urgently. "Retreat?  "Itagaki Seishiro said with a gloomy expression: "No, we cannot retreat, we must attack, notify the troops, move two kilometers south, and forcefully cross the river from there.  " "Move two kilometers south?  Where the river is rushing, isn't it impossible to cross it?  "The adjutant said. "Baga Ya Road, we can't cross the river here, so execute the order quickly.  "Itagaki Seishiro roared angrily at the top of his lungs. ?????????????? At the same time, in order to cope with Itagaki Seishiro's surprise attack, Ishihara Kanji commanded the remaining thousands of Japanese troops to attack again.  The Shenyang South Gate launched an offensive. The officers and soldiers of the third regiment fought back under the command of commander Wang Yicai, and fierce fighting began again. At Lushun, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters looked at the message sent by Ishihara Kanji with surprise.  The attacking troops failed one after another. This was incredible. The Northeastern Army in Shenyang City actually dared to resist. Surprised, Shigeru Honjo quickly drafted an urgent message and gave it to the communications staff to quickly send it to Tokyo.  In the urgent message from the base camp, in addition to requesting the base camp’s War Department to quickly send reinforcements to the Manchurian battlefield, it also requested additional artillery and air forces. It was a joke that the majestic Japanese Empire was lost in the battle with the Northeastern Army.  It was a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army to lose artillery suppression and air control. As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru absolutely couldn't bear it and would never allow this situation to continue to exist. He sent troops to the base camp.  At the same time as the urgent telegram for help, Zhang Xinghan at the City Defense Headquarters in Shenyang City also received an urgent telegram from Zhang Xiaoliu from Peiping. He was slightly surprised, but Zhang Xinghan still opened the sealed telegram sent to him by Zhang Xiaoliu.  The content of the message after opening it is as follows: "My dear brother Xing Han, I am shocked to hear that the Japanese invaders brazenly started a war last night. I also heard that my dear brother led his soldiers to fight back at the critical moment and won a great victory.  I am very relieved.  But now my dear brother wants to hold on to Shenyang City and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders. Although his loyalty is commendable, it is actually inappropriate. Now, under the orders of the Nanjing Central Government, in order to prevent the situation from escalating and triggering a full-scale war between China and Japan, I have ordered our officers and soldiers in the Northeast to  Adopting an attitude of non-resistance, like the good brother who insists on retreating in Shenyang, will certainly win over people's hearts, but it will put our country and our country at a disadvantage in our diplomacy.  Therefore, considering the overall strategic situation, Han Qing hopes that his wise brother can lead his troops to withdraw from Shenyang immediately, avoid making unnecessary sacrifices, and wait for the adjustment of the League of Nations.  As for the lost territory in the Northeast, Han Qing has plans to recover it one day. Don't worry, brother. As the saying goes, if you can keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about having no firewood. As long as the wise brother can save his life and retreat to Jinzhou, when the future counterattack comes, the Han Dynasty will  Your Majesty will order you to be the vanguard and lead the army to the north to fight the Japanese invaders and regain the beautiful mountains and rivers in our northeast. This is a matter of urgency. I hope that my good brother will not hesitate and rush south to Jinzhou to join forces with the 7th Brigade and other units of our army.  We are stationed together in Jinzhou!  On the evening of September 20, the 20th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Hanqing was in Peiping"

    Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly after reading it. After pondering for a while, he picked up the pen and began to write a reply in his own hand: "Young Marshal Junjian, today's bandits are determined to occupy our inherent territory in the three eastern provinces. Xinghan cannot bear to sit back and watch the loss of his country, let alone  Thirty million Northeastern compatriots were in ruins, their families were destroyed! For this reason, thousands of athletes were led to fight back. As for the evacuation, it was not because Xinghan wanted to disobey the commander-in-chief, but he couldn't bear to abandon hundreds of thousands of Shenyang citizens in dire straits.  Xing Han would not dare to think about retreating from the Shenyang Arsenal that the Marshal and the Marshal had devoted countless efforts to build so easily. I hope that the Marshal will understand the good intentions of his subordinates. Fortunately, Xing Han leads the entire city's soldiers and civilians.  By holding on to Shenyang, most of the Kwantung Army's forces have been attracted to Shenyang, and several enemy attacks have been defeated. At this time, the Japanese army has lost its energy. At this time, if the commander-in-chief can personally lead the army to move north to Shenyang, he can then send troops to Heilongjiang Province.  The cavalry of the defense army moved south quickly. Xinghan should lead all the soldiers in Shenyang City and cooperate with the young marshal inside and outside. In this way, the Japanese invaders will be defeated and the lost territory of our Liao Province will be recovered. By then, the young marshal will have defended what the marshal spent his whole life building.  With his foundation, he will become a national hero who will be famous all over the world. Wouldn't it be better than fleeing without fighting and retreating to the pass to survive? "I think back to the time when the heroic deeds of our ancestors in the Han and Tang Dynasties intimidated the world, and the barbarians in all directions surrendered and bowed their heads wherever the banner went.  Later, there was the Ming Dynasty. Throughout the more than two hundred years of the dynasty, the 16 generations of emperors all held the emperor to guard the country. The king was determined to die for the country and never abandoned the country. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, which was plagued by internal and external troubles,  He has never bowed his head to any country or force, nor has he signed any unequal contract. Today, the young commander has hundreds of thousands of elite troops guarding the largest military factory in the country, but he wants to give up the war without firing a single shot.  Are you not ashamed of the three provinces in the Northeast that the Marshal has left for you? As a man, you should have your country in your heart and be unyielding. If the invaders brazenly launch a war today, the Marshal should lead all our soldiers in the Northeast to fight back and defend the country's sovereignty and sovereignty.  Territorial integrity is the key to defending the honor of our Northeastern Army. We must not fight cowardly to preserve our strength. Shenyang is in danger and the Northeast is in danger. All the soldiers and civilians of Xinghan and Shenyang City would rather die than surrender. They vow to live and die with Fengtian City and wait eagerly.  The Marshal is asking for reinforcements. I hope the Marshal will come quickly to help.” After hurriedly writing, Zhang Xinghan called the communications corps. After handing the handwritten message to the communications corps, Zhang Xinghan immediately left the city defense headquarters with a platoon of guards and headed towards Zheng Zheng.  We walked to the main battlefield of the South Gate where the fierce fighting was taking place.  ???………………………………………… Beiping City, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Zhang Xinghan's reply quickly flew to Zhang Xiaoliu's hands. Looking at the sarcastic messages in his hands, Zhang Xiaoliu's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent. After all, he was one of the top heroes during the Republic of China. Zhang Xinghan, a small boy in the Northeast Army,  The battalion commander was so thoughtful in every word, there was no way he could still act like a normal person and have no reaction.  Just when Zhang Xiaoliu was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Xinghan, there was a rush of footsteps outside the study.  Marshal Zhang looked up and saw his personal attendant Zhang Bin walking in with a hurried expression: "Young Marshal, I'm sorry, I just got news that the son of Chief of Staff Rong is the commander of the guard battalion staying at Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang.  Rong Ziheng was shot on the spot by Zhang Xinghan for escaping from the battle. " "What?" Zhang Xiaoliu stood up in shock and said in disbelief: "You said Zhang Xinghan was shot by Rong Ziheng?  " "Yes." Zhang Bin nodded.  "This Zhang Xinghan is so fucking bold. What right does he have to execute my guard captain?" Zhang Xiaoliu was so angry that he did not forget to ask: "Does Chief of Staff know about this?" "Already know.  "Yes, it is said that Chief of Staff Rong has arrived in Jinzhou and really plans to come to Peiping to seek justice from the young commander." Zhang Bin said.  Seeing Zhang Xiaoliu's face full of anger but not saying anything, Zhang Bin asked cautiously: "Young Marshal, what do you plan to do with Zhang Xinghan?" "Zhang Xinghan executed my subordinates without authorization. His crime is unpardonable. You should immediately give Gao Zhihang of the Air Force and the Air Force  Governor Zang Shiyi sent a message and told them that the air force would fly all the planes to Jinzhou for me. Governor Zang would directly take over the garrison in the city and immediately retreat to Xinmin. Also, Zhang Xinghan was to be arrested immediately and I would personally defend the city.  Chief of Staff Rong supports justice." Zhang Xiaoliu looked at the callback he placed on the table and said harshly.  "Yes!" Zhang Bin responded loudly, turned around and took the order in large strides.  ???…………………Sujiatun, the Japanese frontline headquarters.  "Sir Ishihara, the main force of our 2nd Brigade has been at war with the defenders at the South Gate of China. The current battle situation is in a stalemate." A combat staff officer in the headquarters lowered his head and reported to Ishihara Wanji who was sitting on his desk.  road.  "Yeah." Ishihara smiled and nodded, "?How is the situation at Tajikistan Airport?  "According to the latest report from the Signal Corps, the Chinese are obviously prepared in advance. Chief Itagaki is currently trying to find a way to cross the river."  "The combat staff officer said. Ishihara Wan'er couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and sighed: "It seems that the commander in Shenyang City is not simple. Why didn't we know beforehand that there was such a person in the Northeast Army?  Notify the Special High School Division and try to find out the identity of this person.  " "Hai, I'll take care of my humble job right away.  "The combat staff officer lowered his head and responded, turning around to leave, but Ishihara Wan'er stopped him again: "Wait a minute, tell the special high school class, if possible, get rid of this person at all costs.  " "Hai.  "The combat staff bowed their heads again, then turned around and left quickly. …………………………………………… On the east bank of the South Canal, about two kilometers southeast of Dongta Airport, there were small wooden boats and rubber boats.  As they were quietly entering the water, soon the heavily armed Japanese soldiers jumped on and immediately began to sail towards the other side. Surrounded by the guards and adjutants, Itagaki Seishiro came to the shore. Looking at his subordinates who were hurriedly crossing the river, Itagaki Seishiro suddenly came to the shore.  He turned to the adjutant and said: "Xiao Lin, please notify the second brigade immediately and ask them to quickly return to where we crossed the river just now, feint to cross the river, and provide cover for my main force. The Chinese bombardment should stop now.  "Hai." The Japanese adjutant named Junichiro Kobayashi lowered his head suddenly, and then strode away to accept the order. ……………………………… In the airport, a regiment headquarters. Listening to the sound of artillery gradually subsided, Liu Jianguo  He picked up the phone and dialed the number of First Battalion Commander Gao Chu: "Hello, Lao Gao?  How is the situation?  " On the other end of the phone, in the headquarters of the 1st Battalion, Gao Chu quickly stood at attention and said: "Report to the regiment, everything is normal. The Japanese troops have been shelled by us and have withdrawn. They seem to be heading south.  " "You must pay attention, send more scouts for reconnaissance, and never be careless.  "Liu Jianguo urged. "Please rest assured, everyone in the regiment, I have already deployed scouts within five kilometers along the river. As long as the Japanese army crosses the river, we will know it as soon as possible.  "As soon as Gao Chu finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded outside, and fire flashed in the dark night. Liu Jianguo on the other end of the phone obviously heard it, and asked anxiously: "Old Gao, what's going on?  Gao Chu did not answer, but loudly asked outside: "Guard, what's going on? Where are the cannons going?"  " Soon, a soldier hurried into the battalion headquarters and reported to Gao Chu: "At the camp, the Japanese troops on the other side are shelling my forward position, and they seem to be planning to force a crossing.  "    "I see.  Gao Chu waved his hand to signal the soldier to go out, and then said into the microphone: "Regiment leader, it seems that the little Japs are determined to attack. Please provide some more artillery support. I will organize the troops to prepare for the attack."  " "Well, okay, the supporting artillery fire will be here soon, you must guard it for me.  "Liu Jianguo nodded, put down the phone, turned around and shouted: "Inform the artillery to launch artillery fire suppression on the east bank immediately.  " PS: Damn, the person next door to Ma Lei in the Telecommunications Bureau has been offline for three days. Qiu Feng has not been able to access the Internet for three whole days. I use my mobile phone to check information and upload it to my QQ mailbox using my mobile phone. I sent it to my editor and asked him to upload it on my behalf. I am so excited.

    "Qiuqiuqiu" Several harsh and sharp whistles of artillery shells sounded in vain. In the dark night, those shells wrapped in scarlet flames dragged two to three meters of scarlet tail flames across the night sky and hit the east bank of the South Canal.  Fall away.  "Boom, boom, boom" As the artillery shells landed, violent explosions sounded immediately, and fire suddenly appeared on the other side, as bright as day. In the fire, many Japanese soldiers ran hurriedly. They were still carrying out attacks on the west bank just now.  The bombardment suddenly stopped.  "The little devil is such an unruly beating spirit, these two cannons have really blown him up." On the position of the first battalion, the battalion commander Gao Chu looked at the east bank that had been suppressed by his own artillery fire, and couldn't help but sarcastically  road.  ……………… Time goes back to fifteen minutes ago. On the east bank of the South Canal, two kilometers downstream from the airport, the main force led by Itagaki Seishiro was quietly crossing the river. When several small wooden boats and rubber boats loaded with Japanese soldiers quickly arrived at the west bank  At this time, changes suddenly occurred in the originally silent West Bank.  "Qiu!" With a sharp whistling sound, a red flare suddenly quickly rose into the air, followed by two gunshots, and two Japanese soldiers on a small wooden boat fell into the air.  After the gunfire, the Japanese army discovered that their traces had been exposed, and they immediately fired back. In the grass on the other side, a Northeastern Army sentry pulled the bolt of his gun and said to his companion next to him: "Li Shenming, I will support you here and go back immediately."  Report to the superior that the Japs are crossing in the direction of Niujiatun. Go quickly. ""Squad leader, the signal flare has been sent out. The other brothers should see it. The superiors will definitely send reinforcements. I won't leave. I'm here with you.  Fight the little devil," said the sentry named Li Shenming.  "Fart, although the signal flare has been sent out, the higher ups don't know what's going on. By the time they figure out the situation, the little Japs have already succeeded in forcibly crossing over. You run back and report to the camp. Go!" the sentry squad leader said and pushed.  his companion shouted.  Li Shenming gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful, monitor." After saying that, he quickly ran towards the airport and quickly disappeared into the night.  The signal flare slowly rose into the sky, and a battalion of sentries and scouts within one kilometer nearby rushed towards the sentry squad leader. When they rushed there, the Japanese army was about to rush ashore. Without explanation, the scouts and sentries opened fire one after another.  In the dark night, the Japanese army did not know how many Northeastern troops were on the other side, so they had to fire back aimlessly and wildly. For a while, there was loud gunfire in the Niujiatun section of the South Canal.  ………………… "Camp seat!" When Li Shenming ran back to the first battalion defense area out of breath, he happened to bump into Gao Chu who had just returned to the battalion headquarters from the position, and he hurriedly saluted before he could stand at attention.  He shouted loudly: "Bingzuo, it's not good. The Japanese army suddenly appeared in Niujiatun and is now forcing the crossing. Our squad leader and other brothers are fighting desperately to stop it. The situation is extremely urgent. Yingzuo should send troops to reinforce it as soon as possible." "What? Niujiatun  Tun?" Gao Chu was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the other side where it had calmed down. He suddenly realized that he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, the stupid little devil is just pretending to attack. Niujiatun is the main attack."  Chu immediately turned around and shouted: "The guard platoon and the first company immediately gathered with me to quickly reinforce Niujiatun. In addition, please ask the regiment to send reinforcements." "Yes!" The guard platoon leader who was following Gao Chu and several other companies were waiting for him.  The officers responded simultaneously.  ………………………………… When Gao Chu hurried to Niujiatun with the guard platoon and infantry company, all his sentries had been sacrificed, and about a hundred Japanese troops had already landed on the west bank.  Both sides discovered each other, and the enemies were extremely jealous when they saw each other. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers, led by a Japanese major, rushed up screaming and carrying Sanba Gai with bayonets.  "Fire!" Gao Chu first ordered the troops to fire, then pulled out a large iron sword and shouted sternly: "Fire the bayonet!" Nearly two hundred soldiers of the first battalion quickly loaded the bayonet.  "Fuck you!" Gao Chu waved his sword forward and took the lead, followed by nearly two hundred soldiers roaring and rushing towards the Japanese army.  The two sides collided fiercely like two torrents of steel. The sound of gold and iron clashing, the sound of angry curses, the sound of broken bones and sharp blades breaking flesh intertwined into a song of death.  Gao Chu cut down a Japanese soldier who was colliding head-on with his sword and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, throw these Japanese bastards down the river to feed the turtles. Reinforcements will be here soon. Kill them!"  When Seishiro Itagaki saw this, he immediately ordered the troops: "Immediately cross the river and land at full speed. We must wipe out the defenders on the west bank before the Chinese reinforcements arrive. Quickly!" "Hai!" A Japanese colonel suddenly shouted  Lowering his head, he immediately pulled out his command knife and jumped onto a small sampan: "Kill Gaga!" He took the lead and rushed towards the other side.  &nbsp; ………………………………… While Zhang Xinghan commanded the city defense troops to engage in fierce battles with the Japanese army at the East Tower Airport and the South Gate main battlefield, a conspiracy against Zhang Xinghan was secretly going on in Shenyang City.  About six or seven middle-aged men in suits gathered in a conference room on the third floor of the mayor's office building in the center of Shenyang.  "Mayor, since the young marshal has given the order, we will just carry it out." A middle-aged man sitting under Mayor Zang Shiyi said. His name is Jin Yufu, who is the secretary of Zang Shiyi, the current governor of Liaoning Province.  Chairman, and also serves as the Secretary-General of the Mayor of Shenyang City.  is Zang Shiyi’s right-hand man and a confidant of the Zhang Group.  "However, the military power of Shenyang City is now controlled by Zhang Xinghan. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for us to arrest him, right?" Zang Shiyi said hesitantly.  "This is not difficult. Governor Tibet, can you remember the guard camp left behind at the Marshal's Mansion?" Jin Yufu said.  "Of course I remember that after Zhang Xinghan killed Rong Ziheng for escaping from battle, he broke up the guard battalion and organized it into the Second Regiment of the City Defense Army. The leader of that regiment was Zhang Xinghan's original company commander of the 3rd Battalion and was his confidant." Zang Shiyi.  Disapprovingly.  "Although the Guard Battalion was disbanded by Zhang Xinghan and organized into the Second Regiment, as far as I know, the former deputy battalion commander of the Guard Battalion has now become a combat staff officer of Zhang Xinghan City Defense Command. We can find a way to contact this person through  He came to achieve his goal." Jin Yufu said.  "Isn't this inappropriate? If the deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion was loyal to Rong Ziheng, he would not sit idly by when Zhang Xinghan wanted to kill Rong Ziheng." Zang Shiyi said.  "You don't know something, Governor. Maybe he is not loyal to Rong Ziheng. After all, the Guard Battalion was somewhat helpless in that situation. But as a member of the Guard Battalion, there is no doubt about his loyalty to the Young Marshal.  , If he learned that it was the young commander's order, I think he would probably not refuse it, not to mention that now that he has been sidelined by Zhang Xinghan and took away the military power in disguise, there is no way he would not have a trace of resentment in his heart." Jin Yufu analyzed.  "Well, let's give it a try as you said, but we must be careful not to alert the enemy." Zang Shiyi sighed. In fact, in order to defend Shenyang City, Zhang Xinghan was leading the entire army in a bloody battle against the Japanese invaders.  Zang Shiyi did not want to carry out Zhang Xueliang's order.  But as the governor of Liaoning Province and the mayor of Shenyang City, he could not disobey Zhang Xiaoliu, because Zhang Xiaoliu and his father Zhang Zuolin had been kind to him, and he could not be ungrateful.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 37: Fierce Battle at the Airport (5)

    Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro's troops launched attacks in two groups at the same time on Shenyang's South Gate and East Tower Airport. Zhang Xinghan led a platoon of a guard company to the South Gate to supervise the battle just in case.  At this time, there were only a few staff officers and a large number of guards left in the city defense headquarters located inside the south gate.  Late at night, an American Ford sedan suddenly drove to the gate of the City Defense Headquarters. The guard at the gate immediately came forward to ask. Jin Yufu, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and took out his identification.  The guard looked at the provincial governor and secretary-general and hurriedly saluted and asked: "Secretary-General Jin, what can I do for you?" "I came to see your Counselor Song on the order of the governor of Zang. Is he here?" Jin Yufu said still smiling.  The guard did not doubt that he was there and replied: "Counsel Song is at the headquarters. Do you want me to inform him?" "No, I will just go in and find him myself." With that, Jin Yufu pushed the door open and got out of the car.  Seeing this, the guards quickly stepped aside. Jin Yufu looked around and strode towards the headquarters.  In the headquarters, Song Dexian, the former deputy battalion commander of the Guard Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, was smoking and chatting with the guard company commander Guo Zhong. Guo Zhong was the former guard platoon leader of the 3rd Battalion and was a close confidant of Zhang Xinghan. Song Dexian had a similar temperament with him. Since he was transferred to the city defense commander  The relationship between the Ministry and Guo Zhong has always been very good.  The two of them are both serving in the security force and have similar experiences and have similar personalities, so they feel a certain sympathy for each other.  The reason why Guo Zhong was close to Song Dexian was of course that Zhang Xinghan was not at ease with him and secretly asked Guo Zhong to get closer to him, trying to win over him and facilitate surveillance.  When Jin Yufu strode into the city defense commander's compound, Guo Zhong and Song Dexian discovered him. Guo Zhong did not recognize him, but Song Dexian, who had served as the deputy battalion commander of the Guards Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, did.  Therefore, before Guo Zhong could say anything, Song Dexian hurriedly came up to him and saluted and said, "Secretary-General Wang, why are you here?" Guo Zhong heard this and had no choice but to follow him and salute without saying a word.  "Haha, Counselor Song, I, the Governor of Fengzang, came to you to discuss something. Do you think it's okay?" Jin Yufu said and looked at Guo Zhong.  Song Dexian didn't think too much, and quickly turned sideways and said with solemn hands: "Secretary-General Jin, please go in and talk." "Okay." Jin Yufu nodded in agreement and walked towards the war room.  Song Dexian turned around and smiled apologetically at Guo Zhong: "Brother Guo, I'm going to discuss some things with Secretary-General Jin first, and we'll talk later." "Okay." Guo Zhong didn't show any dissatisfaction, and nodded in response, but his eyes  He stared at Jin Yufu's back, full of doubts.  Song Dexian patted Guo Zhong on the shoulder gratefully, said no more, turned around and walked in.  After watching Song Dexian enter, Guo Zhong immediately turned around and walked out.  In the war room, after Song Dexian came in, Jin Yufu looked behind him to confirm everyone before whispering: "Counsel Song, come here." "Secretary-General Jin, why did you come to your humble position this time?" Song Dexian was puzzled.  Walked over and asked.  "Commander Song, this is a secret message from the Marshal from Peiping. Take a look." Jin Yufu took out a piece of message from his arms and handed it to Song Dexian mysteriously.  Song Dexian received the telegram with a slightly surprised expression. When he opened it, his expression suddenly changed. He looked up at Jin Yufu with shock and said, "Secretary-General Jin, is this true? The young marshal wants to arrest Commander Zhang?"  "What bullshit commander? This commander was appointed by Huang Xiansheng. The marshal and the Nanjing government have never acknowledged it. He killed your commander, Battalion Commander Rong Ziheng, and blatantly disobeyed the marshal's orders. He has committed a capital crime. The marshal ordered us  To evacuate Shenyang to avoid a greater conflict with the Japanese army, which would lead to an all-out war, Zhang Xinghan overestimated his capabilities and attempted a decisive battle with the Japanese. It was extremely stupid. "What does the young commander need from me?" Song Dexian asked subconsciously.  "Seize Zhang Xinghan and support the governor of Tibet to take over the military power." Jin Yufu said in a low voice.  "Catch Zhang Xinghan? Is he an anti-Japanese hero?!" Song Dexian was struggling and hesitating in his heart.  "Commander Song, don't forget who killed your Battalion Commander Rong, annexed the Guard Battalion, and now transferred you to this headquarters as a staff officer without real power. Isn't the purpose of using you up? What does this mean?  It shows that Zhang Xinghan has never trusted you. As long as you help Governor Zang complete the tasks assigned by the young commander, you will have done a great job. When the guard battalion is reorganized, you must be the battalion commander." Jin Yufu hurriedly said.  Leeds said.  Song Dexian was a little moved. Indeed, Zhang Xinghan transferred himself to the City Defense Headquarters as a combat staff officer. It seemed that he was promoted, but in fact he lost his military power. It could be said that he was promoted openly and secretly.  But thinking about what Zhang Xinghan said when they intercepted them at the west gate last night, Song Dexian hesitated again.  As a soldier??Especially as a guard battalion, which is deeply favored by the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief, how can we sit back and watch the Japanese seize the territory of our three eastern provinces?  "The commander-in-chief's blood feud has not been avenged, so how can you retreat to the pass with peace of mind and live an ignoble existence?"  What Zhang Xinghan said yesterday kept echoing in his ears. Song Dexian knew that if he took action and arrested Zhang Xinghan, Shenyang City would definitely fall, and he would become a sinner for the ages.  Seeing Song Dexian's hesitation, Jin Yufu became anxious and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Consultant Song, do you want to disobey the Young Marshal's order? Don't forget how much kindness the Young Marshal and the Marshal have to you." Song Dexian frowned even more  It's true that Jin Yufu is telling the truth. The Zhang family and his son are indeed very kind to all the officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion, including him.  Although there is an element of shrouding people's hearts, they are indeed treated well.  After much hesitation, Song Dexian abandoned the idea of ??putting national justice first and chose the so-called loyalty and repayment of gratitude. He said to Jin Yufu: "Please Secretary Jin tell the governor of Tibet that Song will comply with the order." "Okay, when do you plan to do it?  Take action? Can you mobilize some of the troops from this headquarters?" Jin Yufu asked happily.  Unexpectedly, Song Dexian shook his head helplessly and said: "The city defense commander's garrison is controlled by that man just now. He is Zhang Xinghan's confidant. Without his order, no one can mobilize any soldiers." "Then.  It's too difficult for you to handle this matter alone," Jin Yufu said with a frown.  "Secretary-General Jin, isn't the Governor of Tibet going to take over the military power of the Shenyang City Defense Army?" Song Dexian said.  "Well, but you have to control Zhang Xinghan first." Jin Yufu said without thinking.  "In this way, when you and the Governor of Tibet bring people to the headquarters, I will take the opportunity to control Zhang Xinghan and force him to hand over his military power. The Governor of Tibet will take over directly." Song Dexian thought for a while and said, "Do you think this will work?" "  We are definitely coming to the headquarters, but can we control Zhang Xinghan alone? If something goes wrong, we will be in ruins," Jin Yufu said worriedly.  "Secretary-General Jin, please rest assured. Song has been practicing martial arts for many years. No one in the entire guard camp is his opponent. I am confident enough to subdue and control Zhang Xinghan." Song Dexian said with confidence.  In fact, his skills were indeed impressive. If Rong Ziheng was not Rong Zhen's son, the position of commander of the guard battalion should have gone to Song Dexian.

    "Yes." Jin Yufu nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll go back and report to the Governor of Tibet immediately. By the way, where is Zhang Xinghan now? When will he be back?" "He is bringing a platoon with him.  The guards have gone to the south gate to supervise the battle, and they will probably be back soon. You and the Tibetan governor can bring people over first. When he comes, we can take him down unprepared and force him to hand over military power.  Song Dexian said.  "Okay, I'll go back right now." Jin Yufu nodded: "You have to be careful not to reveal your flaws." "Secretary-General Jin, please rest assured, humble positions have their own sense of proportion." Song Dexian stepped aside to make way.  Jin Yufu said no more, but walked out.  Song Dexian followed him out and put Jin Yufu in the car, then turned and walked back to the headquarters compound.  Guo Zhong suddenly walked out from the side and asked: "Brother Song, why does Secretary-General Jin come to you?" Song Dexian had something in his mind and said in a panic: "No, it's nothing." "Nothing?" Guo Zhong was doubtful.  He nodded and said: "Oh." The Second Regiment Headquarters outside the South Gate.  Zhang Xinghan was standing with Liu Guodong, the leader of the Second Regiment, observing the front-line positions where the fierce fighting was taking place.  In the dark night, an unknown number of Japanese troops issued a wave of shouts and launched round after round of fierce attacks on the front-line positions stationed by the Second Regiment and the Third Battalion.  The officers and soldiers of the third battalion fought back, and the two sides launched a fierce battle, and the battle became fierce for a time.  Suddenly, a cavalryman came out of the city from the south gate and ran towards the headquarters of the second regiment.  When Zhang Xinghan and Liu Guodong heard the sound of horse hooves, they turned around and saw a guard company soldier galloping towards them. He quickly dismounted and came to Zhang Xinghan's ear and whispered in Zhang Xinghan's ear that Jin Yufu came to find Song Dexian and told him everything.  After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan frowned and said, "Jin Yufu? Why did he come to Song Dexian?" "This little guy doesn't know." The guard shook his head.  "Okay, I understand. You go back and tell Guo Zhong to keep an eye on Staff Song." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" The guard saluted, turned around, mounted his horse, and turned back.  At the same time, on the west bank of the Niujiatun section of the South Canal, as more and more Japanese troops landed, Gao Chu's military superiority disappeared, and a bitter battle began.  Gao Chu, covered in blood, used his knife to attack the Japanese commander in front of him who had been fighting with him for a long time. Looking back, he saw that his officers and soldiers were besieged by several times the number of Japanese troops. From time to time, someone fell down, and the casualties increased sharply.  "China pig, put down your weapon, I will leave you intact." The Japanese colonel held the Zuoguan sword and said to Gao Chu with a ferocious face.  "Go away, you mother. You want your grandpa to surrender? Go ahead and live your mother's spring and autumn dream." Gao Chu scolded with disdain in his eyes: "You little devil, stop talking nonsense and see the truth under your hands. Come on.  "Grandpa, let's have some fun with you." "Bagaya Road!" The Japs were so furious that they immediately roared and rushed toward Gao Chu again, waving their swords.  Gao Chu calmly picked up the iron sword and faced him. The sword in his hand suddenly slashed horizontally and collided with the Japanese Colonel's official sword.  "Bang!" A harsh sound of gold and iron sounded in vain with a few traces of sparks. Both of them felt their arms go numb. It was obvious that they were equally powerful.  "Aha!" Gao Chu roared angrily and pounced on him again with his sword. The Japanese Colonel also became fierce and slashed at Gao Chu with his sword in both hands.  Gao Chu hurriedly blocked with his sword, then kicked out suddenly, knocking the Japanese commander who was caught off guard to the ground. He was about to take the opportunity to rush up and kill him with a knife.  Unexpectedly, after the Japanese Colonel fell to the ground, he suddenly and alertly raised his sword and swept it towards Gao Chu's lower body. Gao Chu was forced to get out of the way, and he took advantage of the situation to get up.  At this time, a Japanese soldier tried to sneak attack Gao Chu from one side, but Gao Chu turned around and slashed him to the ground. Blood splashed all over Gao Chu's face.  Wiping the red and hot blood around his mouth, Gao Chu held a knife in one hand and hooked his fingers at the Japanese commander with the other hand: "Little devil, come here, grandpa will let you taste the power of my Gao family's sword skills." Facing Gao Chu's  Contemptuous and arrogant, the Japanese colonel was furious again, brandishing his sword and roaring, and rushed towards Gao Chu again.  "Pfft!" Gao Chu saw a loophole in the Japanese colonel and quickly dodged his knife. He held the knife in his right hand and stabbed the Japanese colonel's abdomen from the side.  Gao Chu didn't hesitate at all. After he succeeded in the blow, he quickly drew the knife, and blood immediately rushed out. The Japanese Colonel was startled. He held the knife in both hands as if he was about to chop, staggered two steps forward, and suddenly,  He fell to the ground and died.  Several Japanese soldiers saw their elders?Killed by Gao Chu, he immediately rushed towards Gao Chu with red eyes and roaring with a rifle.  Gao Chu was unafraid and rushed towards them with a roar and brandished his sword. He knocked away the bayonets of two of the Japanese soldiers with a horizontal slash. Gao Chu quickly drew his sword and slashed horizontally again, immediately knocking the two Japanese soldiers to the ground.  However, at this moment, a Japanese soldier attacked him from behind and stabbed his bayonet into his back.  There was a sudden sharp pain in his back. Gao Chu suddenly roared fiercely, turned around quickly and slashed the Japanese soldier who was caught off guard with a knife.  "Kill!" Seeing Gao Chu's injury, several more Japanese soldiers swarmed over with rifles.  Gao Chu covered the wound on his back with his hand and felt blood gushing out. Severe pain spread throughout his body, making him almost lose the ability to stand.  Panting violently, Gao Chu struck the ground with his sword and looked at several Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards him with a ferocious expression. When they approached, he roared with all his strength and drew his sword to meet them.  After a fight, although Gao Chu was injured in two places, he killed all the Japanese soldiers.  Due to excessive bleeding, he was completely exhausted at this time. Fortunately, several guards from the guard platoon rushed to his side and helped him block the attack of other Japanese soldiers.  Seeing that more and more Japanese soldiers were landing, and most of the soldiers under his command had been killed or injured, Gao Chu couldn't help but feel a little sad.  Just when the situation was extremely critical, intensive shouts of killing suddenly came from the direction of the airport.  Immediately afterwards, bursts of intensive gunfire rang out, and through the firelight Gao Chu saw groups of our own officers and soldiers roaring towards this side.  The ones leading the way were the officers and soldiers of the regimental security company holding MP38 submachine guns and holding light machine guns.  “Obviously, Liu Jianguo, the leader of the first regiment, personally led the team to come for reinforcements.  "Brothers, the regiment has arrived with the reinforcements. Kill them for me, and drive all the little devils down the river to feed the turtles! Kill them!" Gao Chu raised his sword in the air and shouted with anger.  "Kill!" Dozens of surviving officers and soldiers of the first battalion, with their morale greatly boosted, echoed in unison, roaring and started a desperate struggle with the enemy in front of them.  After a rapid fire, Liu Jianguo led the guard company into the battlefield, knocked down a large group of Japanese soldiers, and finally reunited with Gao Chu.  "Lao Gao, are you okay?" Liu Jianguo rushed to Gao Chu with a Czech penis and asked with concern.  Gao Chu endured the pain, forced a smile and said: "Tuanzong, I'm fine." "Okay, as long as everything is fine, retreat with me quickly!" Liu Jianguo said.  "What, retreat? Why retreat?" Gao Chu asked in confusion.  "The little Japanese are better with bayonets than us. We don't need to fight them head-on. Retreat to the airport. I have my own way to deal with them." Liu Jianguo explained quickly, and then said: "Quickly, take Battalion Commander Gao and retreat to the airport. Guards  Even covering fire!"

    After Liu Jianguo led the guard company and the main force of the second battalion to rescue the remnants of Gao Chu, he quickly used the automatic firepower of the guard company as cover and began to retreat toward the airport while fighting.  Seishiro Itagaki on the east coast was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately ordered his troops to pursue immediately and strive to capture Dongta Airport in one go. At the same time, he ordered the more than a thousand feint troops to immediately launch a real attack to support the main force in capturing Dongta Airport.  When Liu Jianguo led his troops to withdraw to the 1st Battalion position, the main force of the 1st Battalion, which had already been prepared, had already exchanged fire with the Japanese feint attack troops.  Liu Jianguo ordered people to bring Gao Chu into the airport for treatment of his injuries, while he commanded the second battalion and the guard company to launch a defensive attack on the spot.  When the pursuing Japanese troops saw Dongta Airport right in front of them, they all screamed excitedly and rushed towards the defense line without fear of death.  At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun company of the ** garrison battalion staying at the airport suddenly opened fire, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and several anti-aircraft cannons roared one after another.  The dense rain of bullets immediately enveloped the charging Japs crowd. In the dark night, wherever the scarlet and dazzling tongues of flames touched, the Japs soldiers all fell to the ground.  For a time, the Japanese soldiers were wailing all over the place, causing heavy casualties.  The nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers were blinded by the sudden and intensive firepower. The airport was surrounded by plains and wilderness. Under the intensive firepower of the defenders, they had nowhere to hide.  In just a few minutes, the Japanese troops who had just clamored to capture Dongta Airport abandoned hundreds of corpses and retreated hastily.  Seeing the opportunity, Liu Jianguo immediately ordered his troops to take advantage of the situation to counterattack. Nearly two thousand officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion, the Guard Company, the National Guard Battalion and the Third Battalion at the airport rushed out of the trenches and fortifications, roaring and launched a pursuit of the Japanese army.  Outside the airport, after a bloody battle, the defenders were about to win, but inside the airport, Gao Zhihang was in extreme conflict at the moment.  Not long ago, he, like Zang Shiyi, received a secret order from Marshal Zhang from Peiping.  Gao Zhihang did not immediately implement Marshal Zhang's order to withdraw all air force fighters to Jinzhou.  He knew that once he evacuated, Zhang Xinghan's defenders would lose air support and air superiority, and would become more passive. The battle to defend the city would also become much more difficult, and casualties would also increase. This was something he did not want to do.  Would like to see.  Gao Zhihang was extremely angry when he thought that Marshal Zhang had hundreds of thousands of troops in the three eastern provinces and wanted to abandon the three eastern provinces without a fight. After thinking about it again and again, Gao Zhihang made up his mind.  He wants to stay, and he wants to help Zhang Xinghan defend Fengtian City.  However, although Gao Zhihang made up his mind to stay, he still summoned all the pilots and wanted to ask their opinions. After all, he was disobeying orders.  Once a decision is made, there is no turning back. He does not want to decide the fate of these pilot comrades arbitrarily. Their fate should be chosen by themselves.  Looking at hundreds of comrades, Gao Zhihang said straight to the point: "Brothers, I have come to see you all night. I have something important to announce to everyone." As he spoke, Gao Zhihang took out the telegram sent by Zhang Xiaoliu and told everyone  He continued: "The Marshal just called. He asked us to abandon Shenyang Airport and fly all fighter planes to Jinzhou." "What? The Marshal wants us to retreat?" Gao Zhihang finished speaking, and all the pilots started to commotion in shock.  stand up.  "We withdraw, what will happen to Shenyang? Will we not defend it?" "Yes, the brothers of the city defense army outside are fighting bloody battles with the Japs to protect us. Brothers, listen, they are shouting to kill.  The sound of their gunshots, are we going to abandon them and retreat alone?" Looking at the chattering subordinates, Gao Zhihang said nothing.  Until the deputy captain asked him: "Captain, what do you think? Do you plan to take your brothers and evacuate to Jinzhou alone, abandoning hundreds of thousands of fellow soldiers and civilians in Shenyang?" Gao Zhihang put the major medal and symbol on his shoulders  He took off all the medals of honor of the Air Force, slapped them on the table and said: "Gao Zhihang will never be that cowardly person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as I still have breath, my fighters and I will not abandon Shenyang.  Fellow fellows from the three eastern provinces, I would rather die than retreat!" The pilots were infected by him. After being slightly startled, they all took off their armbands and swore in unison: "I would rather die than retreat!" "Okay, from now on!  We are no longer Marshal Zhang's Northeastern Province Air Force, we are the Shenyang City Defense Force Air Force Fighting Brigade, and we vow to live and die with Shenyang!" Gao Zhihang shouted excitedly, raising his arms.  “I swear to live and die with Shenyang! I swear to live and die with Shenyang!” A group of young pilots shouted their oath with all their strength.  Between good and evil thoughts, choices are also madeIn the blink of an eye, the choices made by Zang Shiyi, Song Dexian and Gao Zhihang tonight determine the fate of their lives.  On the east bank of the Niujiatun section of the South Canal, Itagaki Seishiro was still hot, and he had not had time to celebrate the substantial progress made by his own troops in the offensive.  One of our own soldiers rushed over panting, and without even saluting, he reported to Itagaki Seishiro: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good, our attacking troops were defeated by the Chinese. Now the Chinese have launched a full-scale counterattack. The situation is extremely critical."  "Commander, please make a decision quickly." "What? Defeated?" Itagaki suddenly stood up and said with disbelief: "What happened?" "The defenders of China Airport suddenly used their power.  Huge anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns strafed our attacking troops. Our attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. The Chinese took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack," the soldier explained quickly.  "Baga Ya Road." Itagaki Seishiro was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth. At this time, he had already seen his troops on the other side retreating in a panic.  The Northeastern Army took advantage of the situation to pursue the enemy. The situation was extremely critical. In a hurry, Seishiro Itagaki had an idea in his mind and immediately said to the soldier: "Inform the attacking troops immediately. There is no need to cross the river to withdraw eastward. They can retreat directly to the south of Shenyang City and meet the emperor there.  The main force of the army gathered. "Hai!" The Japanese soldiers lowered their heads suddenly and quickly took the order.  ???…………………South of Shenyang City, City Defense Headquarters.  After Guo Zhong received Zhang Xinghan's instructions, he strengthened his surveillance of Song Dexian and ordered his subordinates to be more vigilant just in case.  Not long after, several cars suddenly drove up to the gate of the City Defense Headquarters, and the first one to get out was Jin Yufu, who had left and returned.  Upon seeing this, Guo Zhong led someone forward and asked: "Secretary-General Jin, are you here again? What can I do for you?" Jin Yufu did not answer Guo Zhong, but walked to a car behind, opened the door, and greeted Zang Shiyi inside.  come out.  Seeing that it was Zang Shiyi, Guo Zhong was shocked and looked around. About a dozen men in suits got out of several cars one after another. They were all strong and powerful, and they were obviously not ordinary people.  Guo Zhong stepped forward, saluted, and said, "Governor Zang, I wonder why you came to our city defense headquarters late at night?" "Governor Zang came to discuss important matters with you, Commander Zhang. Where is Commander Zhang and others?" Jin Yufu asked knowingly.  road.  "The Japanese army is attacking fiercely, and our commander is supervising the battle outside the city." Guo Zhong answered truthfully.  "Oh, then go and inform him quickly. Just say that the governor of Tibet has something urgent to do with him." Jin Yufu said.  Guo Zhong nodded and immediately stepped aside to give way.  Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu were about to walk into the commander's office with their men, but Guo Zhong stepped forward and stopped them.  "Captain Guo, what do you want to do?" Jin Yufu shouted dissatisfied.  "I'm sorry, Governor Tibet. The city defense commander is an important military area. You can't bring so many people in without our commander's order." Guo Zhong said with a dark face. As he spoke, dozens of guards guarding the door were already ready.  Preparing for battle, he aimed his guns at Zang Shiyi and his party.  When Jin Yufu saw this, he immediately pointed angrily at Guo Zhong and the guards behind him and shouted: "What are you doing? How dare you point a gun at the Tibetan governor? Do you want to rebel?" "Secretary-General Jin, Guo and my guards  It's your duty as a soldier, please forgive me." Guo Zhong did not give in at all.  "You?!" Jin Yufu was furious.  "Secretary Jin, forget it." Seeing that the situation was somewhat deadlocked, Zang Shiyi immediately waved his hand to signal Jin Yufu to shut up. He smiled and said to Guo Zhong, "Captain Guo is doing his job well. That's good." After saying this, he said to the dozen or so people accompanying him.  The guard said calmly: "You all wait for me outside. Ah Jiu, just bring two people in." After saying that, Zang Shiyi took the lead and walked towards the courtyard. Guo Zhong did not intercept him again, but sent someone to notify him quickly.  Zhang Xinghan went.

    Outside the south gate, Zhang Xinghan had just commanded the Second Regiment to repulse another Japanese attack. He was discussing the deployment of troops with Liu Guodong, the commander of the Second Regiment, in the headquarters of the Second Regiment to prepare for the next Japanese attack.  A soldier from the guard company rushed to the headquarters of the second regiment and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Governor Zang brought some people to our city defense commander to see you, saying that they have something urgent to discuss with you." "Governor Zang?"  Zhang Xinghan looked at Liu Guodong in confusion, and said to the soldier: "I understand, you can go out first." After the soldier saluted and left, Zhang Xinghan said: "Guodong, what do you think?" "The camp seat, this Zang Shiyi  First, he sent his secretary-general to find Song Dexian, and now he brings people here in person. Is there some conspiracy?" Liu Guodong analyzed.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't think of what Zang Shiyi wants to do? What does he want to do that is detrimental to me?" "Yingzuo, otherwise, don't go back.  The City Defense Headquarters, let Zang Shiyi come here, here, Zang Shiyi can't succeed even if he has any conspiracy," Liu Guodong suggested.  “That’s not necessary, why do Zang Shiyi and Song Dexian want to harm me? Humph, they are not qualified.” Zhang Xinghan snorted disdainfully.  After explaining to Liu Guodong, he returned to the city with a platoon of guards.  At the city defense headquarters, Zang Shiyi seemed to be sitting calmly, but in fact he was already nervous. Seizing Zhang Xinghan's military power was an extremely risky move, and the consequences of a little carelessness would be disastrous. Although he had been in officialdom for a long time, how could he  not nervous?  "Compared with Zang Shiyi's forced calmness, Secretary-General Jin Yufu was not so calm. He kept pacing back and forth, casting his eyes outside the city defense headquarters from time to time, with an anxious look on his face.  Guo Zhong stood aside. He saw Jin Yufu's anxiety and didn't say much.  Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves outside. Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu were both slightly startled, and Zang Shiyi stood up.  Seeing this, Guo Zhong said to the two of them: "You two, maybe our commander is here. I'll go out." "Yes." Zang Shiyi nodded and made a gesture to Jin Yufu.  Jin Yufu understood and quickly followed: "I'll go with you to greet Commander Zhang." While speaking, he glanced at Song Dexian meaningfully.  Song Dexian nodded secretly, and then he followed Guo Zhong out with confidence.  Outside the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan got off his horse. Guards had already come forward to lead the horse. Guo Zhong and Jin Yufu had already come out to greet him.  "Commander!" "Commander Zhang." Guo Zhong and Jin Yufu spoke one after another.  "Secretary-General Jin and Governor Zang came to see me late at night. What is the important matter?" Zhang Xinghan nodded to Guo Zhong and turned to Jin Yufu.  "The Governor of Tibet has something important to discuss with you. He is inside and has been waiting for a long time. Please go in and talk first." Jin Yufu suppressed the tension in his heart and said solemnly.  Zhang Xinghan did not speak anymore, but took the lead and walked into the courtyard, took a look around the courtyard, and went straight into the main hall.  "Governor of Tibet!" Zhang Xinghan was the first to salute, and Zang Shiyi quickly stood up to greet him: "Commander Zhang." "Sit down." Zhang Xinghan greeted with his hands raised.  Zang Shiyi nodded mechanically and sat down.  Zhang Xinghan asked: "I wonder why the governor of Tibet is in such a hurry to find Xinghan?" "Oh, that's the case. The young marshal has an order for us to withdraw from Shenyang immediately, so I came here to inform Commander Zhang."  Zang Shiyi said nervously.  "What? Evacuate Shenyang?" Zhang Xinghan pretended to be surprised. He had already guessed their intention, and immediately asked: "Governor Zang, that's not right. Logically speaking, I am now the Commander of Shenyang City Defense. The Marshal wants me to  To abandon Shenyang, I should have given the order directly. Why did you pass it on to the Governor of Tibet? " "Actually, whether the Governor of Tibet conveyed it is the same, the key is your attitude, Commander Zhang." Jin Yufu was standing aside.  interjected.  "Well, yes, Secretary-General Jin is right." Zang Shiyi said smoothly.  "My attitude?" Zhang Xinghan glanced at the two of them with some contempt, stood up, and suddenly slammed the table: "If you want me to give up Shenyang, you go and ask the eight thousand city defense army brothers if they are willing. Go and ask the dozens  Wan Shenyang fellow villagers, are you willing?" The two Zangjin people were startled by Zhang Xinghan's sudden yell, but they quickly regained their composure. Jin Yufu looked at Zhang Xinghan with an increasingly cold look and said coldly: "So Commander Zhang.  Are you going to disobey the young commander's order?" Zhang Xinghan looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "So what?"?Zhang Xiaoliu, even if Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Nanjing ordered Zhang Xinghan, he would never abandon Shenyang or abandon the hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens in Shenyang City.  " "That means if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty.  "Jin Yufu changed his voice and shouted: "Commander Song, take action quickly.  " Song Dexian, who was standing not far from Zhang Xinghan, had already been prepared. He was as fast as a cheetah and rushed towards Zhang Xinghan in vain. He was so fast that even Guo Zhong, who had been monitoring him, did not react. At the same time, Shou was waiting for him.  Ah Jiu and two Zang Shiyi's guards outside the door drew their pistols and rushed in. Guo Zhong and several guard staff hurriedly drew their guns and faced each other, but they had no time to take care of Zhang Xinghan. At this critical moment, everyone thought that Zhang Xinghan would be killed by Song Dexian.  After all, his speed was so fast that no one else could react. Song Dexian himself thought so. Just when he thought he was about to succeed, a murderous aura suddenly filled the air.  Being able to serve as the deputy battalion commander of the Guards Battalion of the Marshal's Mansion, Song Dexian not only has great martial arts skills, he also has extraordinary perception, which is an instinctive sense of danger that he has developed from being on the edge of life and death for many years.  After so many years of life and death, Song Dexian thought that he had experienced countless life and death situations, and his heart was already firm. No one could shake his heart. But until today, when he saw the frightening killing intent in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, he felt an invisible pressure.  Covered in himself, his whole body felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and his soul was trembling. In this room of lightning and flint, Zhang Xinghan punched Song Dexian as fast as lightning. The punch was delivered with anger and hit the target with astonishing power.  Song Dexian grabbed the palm, "Bang!  "With a loud noise, Song Dexian only felt that his palm was hit hard by an electric hammer. The bones shattered and the severe pain quickly spread throughout his body. He howled in extreme pain before he could recover.  Come, Zhang Xinghan kicked him again, and kicked him away hard. His body hit Ah Jiu and the other two governor guards, and they were knocked to the ground. Zhang Xinghan finished it in the blink of an eye.  Song Dexian and three of Zang Shiyi's guards, Guo Zhong and others were shocked and quickly stepped forward to control them. Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu were stunned on the spot. Why did Zhang Xinghan still not recover from the scene just now.  How powerful? Song Dexian, who is highly skilled in martial arts and experienced in many battles, was actually knocked away by one of his moves? How could they, including the fallen Song Dexian, be compared to Song Dexian, who is the top elite special forces soldier in the Republic?  ? And after time travel and rebirth, Zhang Xinghan felt that his strength was even stronger than before rebirth. He took a cigarette from his pocket and took two deep puffs. Zhang Xinghan said to Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu who were already trembling and pale.  : “How about hiding the governor, what other tricks do you have?  Just use it.  " Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu looked pale, with cold sweat constantly breaking out on their foreheads, and did not answer Zhang Xinghan's words. Finally, Zang Shiyi raised his head with difficulty: "Zhang Xinghan, you disobey military orders, the young commander will not let you go.  "

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 41: Proclamation to the whole city that anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy

    After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sneer: "Just Zhang Xiaoliu? Do you think he has a chance to return to the three eastern provinces? Let me tell you, from the moment he gave the order not to resist, he was destined to become a lost dog.  , Sadly, he dragged hundreds of thousands of Northeastern soldiers to become homeless dogs with him. " "You!" Zang Shiyi and Jin Yufu were furious when they heard this, but they were afraid of Zhang Xinghan's strength and dared not speak out.  relatively.  Zhang Xinghan did not talk to them anymore, and directly waved his hand to Guo Zhong and said: "Take them down, keep them under strict supervision, and order all the officers and soldiers in the city to tell them that from now on, anyone who quits will be killed without mercy!" "Yes!"  !" Guo Zhong responded loudly, commanding the guards to escort Zang Shiyi and his party down. At the same time, Zang Shiyi's men who were left outside the compound were also disarmed and arrested by the guards led by Xiao Lizi.  Looking at Zang Shiyi and others being taken away, Zhang Xinghan snorted with great disdain: You don’t even have the courage to fight me to the death, how come you want to seize my military power?  Don't underestimate yourself.  Before Zhang Xinghan finished his mocking words, intensive gunshots and shouts of death suddenly came from outside the city again.  Zhang Xinghan quickly picked up the phone and called the Second Regiment Headquarters, and asked immediately: "Guodong, what's going on? The Japanese are attacking again?" On the other end of the phone, inside the Second Regiment Headquarters, Liu Guodong replied: "The camp, no,  A large number of Japanese troops suddenly retreated from the east of the city. They seemed to have been defeated by a regiment. They were now being fiercely pursued. " "A regiment?" Zhang Xinghan hung up the phone in confusion, then called the airport and answered the phone.  The one is Gao Zhihang.  "Hello, I'm Zhang Xinghan, how's the situation at the airport?" Zhang Xinghan asked anxiously.  Gao Zhihang quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the commander, the First Regiment and the airport garrison battalion, under the command of Commander Liu Jianguo, have defeated the Japanese invaders who attacked the airport. They are currently launching a full-scale counterattack. The Japanese troops were defeated and fled. Liu Regiment  The commander has personally led the security company to participate in the pursuit." "Yes, I understand." Zhang Xinghan hung up the phone and turned around and shouted: "Yes!" Guo Zhong stepped in and saluted, "Commander.  "What's your order?" "Immediately notify the tank armor company and all the cavalry in the city to gather quickly." Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong promised loudly, turned around and left.  “About ten minutes later, the armored company that had been assembled not far from the city defense headquarters and hundreds of cavalry stranded in Shenyang City rushed to the open space outside the headquarters compound.  The armored company at this time was strengthened based on the original **7th Brigade Armored Company, except for the twelve tanks and armored vehicles of the **7th Brigade.  Zhang Xinghan gathered four Renault tanks and six armored vehicles in Shenyang City to form a reinforced armored company.  So far, this armored fighting vehicle company already has twelve Renault tanks and ten armored vehicles.  Zhang Xinghan, wearing a military uniform and a steel helmet, strode out of the city defense headquarters with the support of Guo Zhong and others.  Standing on the steps at the door, he looked at more than a hundred cavalry and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles crowded in front of him.  Zhang Xinghan raised his voice and said sternly: "Brothers, the Japanese army has been defeated by our regiment. This opportunity is once in a lifetime. Can we hold Shenyang and defeat the Kwantung Army tonight? I am a man. Pick up your sword and follow  I'm leaving the city!" After saying that, Zhang Xinghan walked down the steps and walked towards one of his horses. He got on the horse, grabbed the reins with one hand, and pulled out the saber on the horse with the other hand. He turned the horse's head and shouted loudly.  : "Follow me!" After saying this, he urged the war horse to run towards the south gate.  More than a hundred cavalry soldiers drew out their bright and sharp swords one after another, and followed Zhang Xinghan closely on their horses: "Come on, kill! Drive!" After the cavalry company, the armored soldiers of the armored company also started their chariots and started roaring,  Follow them as they rumble out of the city.  "The great banner holds the top of the sky, and the flags cover the sun and the moon." Under the night, Zhang Xinghan held a sword in his hand and took the lead out of the city. Behind him, more than a hundred cavalry and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles followed closely, running around the outside of the city wall toward the southeast of the city.  Southeast of the city, after paying a heavy price of casualties, the Japanese troops who attacked Dongta Airport finally withdrew to the southern area of ??the city.  However, before they could catch their breath, Zhang Xinghan arrived with a mixed assault force composed of cavalry and armored soldiers.  "Dong dong dong!" In the dark night, thousands of horse hooves galloped at the same time, making a shocking rumbling sound.  "Nani?" The retreating Japanese army heard the sudden shaking and felt that the shaking was getting closer and closer to them, and the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking.  "Ah, no, it's the Chinese cavalry!" As the distance progressed,??, with the flash of artillery fire, a sharp-eyed Japanese saw clearly the large group of Northeastern Army cavalry rushing towards them with their swords raised and their horses thundering, and they began to shout shrilly at the top of their lungs.  In the dark night, the Japanese troops had just withdrawn to the south of the city and were already panicking. The appearance of the Northeast Army's cavalry troops made them even more confused.  The cavalry galloped very fast. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xinghan took the lead and rushed forward with his sword raised.  He yelled loudly, "Go to hell!" The saber in his hand slashed across the neck of a panicked Japanese soldier.  "Pfft!" With the help of huge inertia, the sharp saber cut off the Japanese soldier's neck completely, and a dead head was thrown high, and blood spurted out from the broken neck.  Zhang Xinghan’s horse continued to run wildly, knocking another Japanese soldier away. Zhang Xinghan swung his sword and struck at a Japanese soldier again.  "Pfft!" The sharp saber almost split the Japanese man's head in half, and a bloody seam appeared from the top of his head to his mouth and nose.  "Kill!" Zhang Xinghan killed three people in a row. More than a hundred cavalry behind him also rushed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers and began to attack and kill indiscriminately.  The twelve tanks and ten armored vehicles of the armored company that followed behind them opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets shrouded the Japanese on both sides of the cavalry company.  The sound of gunshots mixed with the miserable howls of the Japanese soldiers before they died resounded throughout the night sky.  When the cavalry company continued to advance and almost broke out of the formation, the armored company also began to rumble forward as a precaution.  Tanks and armored vehicles were firing and rumbling in one after another, like moving fortresses of firepower. Wherever they went, the Japanese troops fell one after another like grass.  If the Japs who died on the spot after being shot were fine, but those wounded Japs who were not shot in vital parts would soon be horrified to find that the tanks and armored vehicles were crushing them without any scruples.  Come.  Until the wounded soldiers on our side are crushed into balls of flesh.  Before they died, they could predict their own death. All the wounded Japanese soldiers roared hoarsely with fear on their faces, and kept struggling to move their bodies.  But how could they move at a speed that was seriously injured compared to the tanks and armored vehicles moving at full speed? They soon let out a scream of terror and were crushed under the tracks.  Soon the screams stopped abruptly and were replaced by the horrifying sound of bones breaking. When the tanks and armored vehicles rolled over, all that was left was blood and flesh everywhere.  When Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry to kill the Japanese army and came out of the formation, his whole body was covered in blood, and the horse under his crotch was also stained with blood.  The same is true for the more than a hundred cavalry company soldiers behind him.  Pulling the reins and turning the horse's head, Zhang Xinghan smelled the thick smell of blood, and the murderous blood in his body was completely awakened.  He slowly raised the blood-drinking sword in his right hand again.  More than a hundred cavalrymen immediately followed suit. For a moment, their swords stood like a forest, and a cold and murderous aura filled the air.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly swung his sword towards the chaotic Japanese troops who were being attacked by his own tanks and armored vehicles. He roared angrily: "Kill me!" Before the sound fell, his legs already urged the horse under his crotch to gallop forward.  "Kill!" More than a hundred cavalry echoed in unison, riding their horses to follow.  For a time, the assault group composed of more than a hundred cavalry rushed into the crowd of Japanese soldiers like a flood that burst an embankment. Wherever it went, swords were waved, heads were thrown down, and the Japanese soldiers who were killed were wailing all over the ground, and blood flowed into rivers.

    Just when Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry and armored soldiers to kill the Japanese army, they were defeated and blood flowed into rivers.  Liu Jianguo also arrived with a regiment and pursuers from the airport garrison battalion. Without any hesitation, they immediately joined the battle group.  With the addition of more than a thousand infantry, the Japanese army, which was already overwhelmed and suffered heavy casualties, collapsed instantly, and it was already a matter of time before it was completely wiped out.  At the same time, on the east bank of the South Canal, Itagaki Seishiro was commanding his thousand partial divisions to attack the defensive position of the first battalion outside the airport.  Itagaki Seishiro, an old Japanese soldier, was indeed a cunning man. While Liu Jianguo was leading the main force to pursue his defeated troops, he led a thousand partial troops to cross the river quietly at Niujiatun.  A sudden attack was launched on the 1st Battalion position. The 1st Battalion Guard Platoon and the 1st Company suffered almost all casualties in the previous battle. The remaining two companies also suffered a lot of casualties in the battle to block the Japanese division.  Now that we were suddenly attacked by more than a thousand Japanese troops, we gradually became unable to hold on.  When the situation was extremely critical, Gao Zhihang led hundreds of pilots and rushed out of the airport holding self-defense pistols.  After joining the first battalion’s defensive position, the pilots were unable to use their pistols, so they picked up the rifles of the fallen soldiers and fought back.  At the same time, some pilots also set up several anti-aircraft machine guns in the airport, imitated a regiment of officers and soldiers and leveled them, and started shooting at the attacking Japanese crowd.  The anti-aircraft machine guns fired extremely fast, several of them fired at the same time, and dense bullets rained down on the attacking Japanese crowd.  Under the powerful firepower of anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese soldiers fell in pieces like wheat.  The first battalion of defenders and most of the pilots also opened fire vigorously, and the Japanese offensive was immediately frustrated.  It didn’t take long before the Japanese army could no longer withstand the huge cost of casualties and evacuated hastily like a tide.  When Seishiro Itagaki saw that the attack failed, he flew into a rage and ordered fiercely: "Use poison gas bombs on Bagaya Road! Quickly." A dozen Japanese artillerymen immediately moved out several boxes of poison gas bombs and began to set up mortars.  Not long after, several mortars fired one after another, and poison gas bombs fell into the first battalion position with a whistling sound.  The poisonous gas spread quietly in the dark night. Upon seeing this, Gao Zhihang immediately covered his nose and reminded loudly: "No, it's a gas bomb. Put on a gas mask." Zhang Xinghan was preparing to move the gas bomb out of the Shenyang Arsenal.  When used, all units of the city defense army received gas masks.  But as the Air Force, an air force unit, Gao Zhihang and other pilots were not equipped with gas masks.  When the situation was extremely critical, the commander of the second company of the first battalion found Gao Zhihang: "Sir, you don't have gas masks, retreat to the back quickly." "We retreat, you can't stop the Japanese attack." Gao Zhihang did not  Stupid, on the contrary, his mind was very clear at this moment, and he did not shout any slogan about "I will not drive".  "The Third Regiment is in the city. If you retreat to the airport, call the Third Regiment immediately and ask for reinforcements. Then use anti-aircraft machine guns to give us fire support. We should be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive." said the Second Company Commander.  Seeing that Gao Zhihang was still hesitant, the second company commander immediately urged: "Sir, don't hesitate. You are the air force. It is not easy to train an air force. If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, our aircraft will become a fucking decoration. Hurry up and retreat."  Go back, positional warfare is our army's business, your battlefield is in the sky, you can't just sacrifice yourself like this!" Gao Zhihang glanced at his subordinates who were coughing due to the poisonous gas, gritted his teeth and said: "  "Withdraw!" ………………………… The former enemy headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Sujiatun.  An assistant officer ran in in a panic and reported to Ishihara Wanji: "Sir, it's not good. Chief Itagaki's main force attacking the airport was defeated by the Chinese." "What? Defeated?" Ishihara Wanji was incredibly surprised.  "How is this possible?" "Sir, when our attacking troops retreated southward along the South Canal in an attempt to move closer to our main force, a cavalry and armored unit of the Northeast Army suddenly appeared in the city. Our attacking troops were attacked on both sides.  The casualties are heavy and the entire army may be annihilated at any time. The situation is extremely critical. Please send reinforcements quickly, sir," the assistant officer said with an anxious look.  "Cavalry and armored troops?" Ishihara Wanji frowned and said immediately: "Immediately order the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and the 16th Infantry Regiment of the 15th Brigade to attack quickly to rescue the main force of Itagaki's command." "Hai  !" The Japanese sergeant suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and walked away quickly.  Itagaki Seishiro's three thousand troops were composed of two ** brigades and the 29th Infantry Regiment, except for a partial division (a ** brigade) left by Itagaki.  &nbsp; The rest of the main force is mainly the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division. In the previous battle, the 29th Infantry Regiment suffered heavy losses, and finally replenished a number of troops and restored its combat effectiveness.  This attack on the airport failed miserably. Now under the joint siege of Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo, the entire army was almost wiped out.  Fortunately, just when the new captain of the 29th Infantry Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Yasuhei Higashiguchi, was about to commit seppuku, reinforcements from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment directly under the division arrived first.  In the light of the fire, more than a thousand Japanese cavalry swarmed in. Zhang Xinghan's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he hurriedly ordered the armored company to step forward to attack. At the same time, he led the cavalry company to start re-arrangement, preparing to meet the enemy.  With the addition of the cavalry, hundreds of remaining soldiers of the 29th Infantry Regiment were able to escape intact.  Twelve Renault tanks and ten armored vehicles collided head-on with the Japanese cavalry regiment.  When the Japanese cavalry, waving their sabers and riding tall horses, rushed towards the tanks and armored vehicles, they were greeted by the roar of the vehicle-mounted machine guns.  "Ta-ta-ta" Tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the machine gun, and the Japanese cavalry suddenly fell off their horses in pieces.  What’s more, the Japanese cavalry who rushed at the front were beaten into a hornet’s nest, both men and horses.  The 37MM tank gun of the Renault tank also opened fire one after another. The high-explosive bombs fell into the group of Japanese cavalry, bursting out with astonishing lethality. The raging shrapnel in the center knocked down the surrounding Japanese cavalry in groups, including men and horses.  Because one's own cavalry kept being shot and fell from their horses, the horses lost control and trampled and collided with each other.  The Japanese cavalry's sprint ended here, but the twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles did not stop. Machine guns and tank guns formed a terrifying fire blockade.  At the same time, a group of light machine gunners also opened fire, and the riflemen also opened fire.  Bullets enveloped the Japanese cavalry like rain for a while. In just over ten minutes, more than a thousand Japanese cavalry suffered two to three hundred casualties.  The rest were in chaos. At this moment, the cavalry company led by Zhang Xinghan had completed the formation and assembly.  With a wave of Zhang Xinghan's blood-stained sword, more than a hundred cavalry lined up and accompanied Zhang Xinghan's fearless Japanese cavalry to launch an assault.  Twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles led the charge, and their machine guns fired wildly at the Japanese troops.  "Kill!" Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry from both wings towards the chaotic Japanese cavalry. With his sword in hand, a Japanese cavalry was struck by him and fell off his horse.  The quality of the Japanese cavalry is not as good as that of the Northeast Army cavalry. Coupled with the existence of the armored company, the cavalry nemesis force, the Japanese cavalry is unable to organize a decent counterattack at all.  By the time Zhang Xinghan led the surviving cavalry to break through the formation again, more than half of the more than a thousand Japanese cavalrymen had suffered casualties and finally fled.  Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xinghan waved his sword forward and shouted: "Chase me!" "Kill!" The more than 80 surviving Northeastern Army cavalry followed Zhang Xinghan to the death, roaring fiercely, waving their sabers, and followed Zhang Xinghan to start the pursuit.  .  Twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles also attacked forward. Upon seeing this, Liu Jianguo led a regiment and a garrison battalion to pursue again.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 43 The Great Victory at Fengtian (Part 2)

    "Kill!" Zhang Xinghan took the lead, his horse galloping with four hooves, and the earth was retreating rapidly.  "Kill!" More than 80 cavalrymen shouted angrily, galloping wildly to follow them to the death. Their clothes were soaked with blood, like bloodthirsty gods returning from hell, with murderous intent in their eyes as they moved forward indomitably.  The whole person, the sword in their hands, and the war horse under their crotches are almost integrated into one. At this moment, there is only attack and killing in their minds.  They would kill every Japanese soldier they encountered and use their heads and blood to prove that anyone who offends China will be killed.  On the position of the Second Regiment, Liu Guodong, the commander of the Second Regiment, learned that the Japanese 16th Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment were confronting them and rushed towards Zhang Xinghan and others.  Immediately he picked up an iron sword and led the guard company to the forward position.  "Brothers, the commander has personally led the cavalry to attack the Japanese army. Victory or failure depends on this. Either the little Japs will die tonight or we will! He is a man. I charge forward and chop up the stupid little Japs! Come on!  Ah!" As he spoke, Liu Guodong swung his iron sword forward.  "Charge! Kill!" Hundreds of soldiers of the Second Regiment suddenly shouted in response, and jumped out of the trench with rifles with bayonets in their hands.  Like a flood that broke a dike, they launched a fierce charge towards the Japanese positions.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Wang Yicai had just received a telegram from Gao Zhihang calling for help from the airport: "Captain Gao, please rest assured, I will personally lead the reinforcements immediately." After putting down the phone, Wang Yicai immediately strode out of the regiment headquarters and shouted sternly: "Signal Corps, notify the first battalion.  Gather immediately and follow me to reinforce the airport. " "Yes!" A communications soldier quickly stepped forward and left quickly.  "Regiment seat!" Just as the communications soldier left, a major officer hurriedly walked in.  "What's wrong?" Wang Yicai asked immediately when he saw that the person coming was Du Ting, the commander of the second battalion.  "Regiment seat, according to reports from our battalion soldiers, the commander has personally led the cavalry company and armored company out of the city to fight with the Japanese invaders. The Japanese army has sent reinforcements. Should we go out of the city to reinforce them?" Du Ting replied.  "The mission given to us by the commander is to guard Shenyang City, maintain law and order in the city, and prevent Japanese spies in the city from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. But I just got the news that the airport was attacked by the Japanese army and the situation is critical. This fucking mess is all messed up. What should I do?  Ah." Wang Yicai said with a headache.  "Regiment, one battalion is enough to maintain public security. Let's do this. I will lead the second battalion to reinforce the commander, and let the first battalion go to reinforce Dongta Airport. What do you think?" Du Ting suggested.  "Well, let's do it like this. I'll transfer the guard company to you, and you can rush out of the city to help Xinghan." Wang Yicai nodded.  "But" Seeing that Wang Yicai wanted to transfer the security company to him, Du Ting was a little worried.  "There's nothing wrong with it, let's act quickly." Wang Yicai interrupted him.  "Yes!" Du Ting didn't say much. After saluting, he turned around and left quickly.  ……………… A fierce battle was going on outside the city, and the Zhang family’s residence in the east of the city was also enveloped by a tense atmosphere.  In the main hall, Wang Ruoying walked back and forth with a worried look on her face. The gunshots and shouts of death outside the city were like an invisible hammer, not hitting her fragile nerves and heart.  Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping also looked worried.  "Ruoying, don't be too anxious. The gunfire has been outside the city, and it seems to be getting farther and farther. This means that Xinghan and the others have not failed, and they may have gained the upper hand." Although he also  Worried, Zhang Yuxi still persuaded Wang Ruoying.  Wang Ruoying nodded: "Yes." She was still extremely worried in her heart, but she said the same thing: "Uncle, I believe that Xinghan and the others will definitely win and return victorious." ????????? South Gate  On the main battlefield outside, Zhang Xinghan and his troops had collided head-on with reinforcements from the Japanese 16th Infantry Regiment.  What collided head-on with the 16th Infantry Regiment was the Japanese 2nd Cavalry Regiment, which was being pursued urgently by Zhang Xinghan's troops.  Since Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry and armored troops in hot pursuit, the remnants of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment had no chance and time to make a detour.  They happened to collide with the rushing reinforcements of the 16th Infantry Regiment. The Japanese trampled on each other and became overcrowded.  The pursuers led by Zhang Xinghan showed no mercy at all, and armored vehicles and tanks took advantage of the situation and opened fire.  Dense bullets and artillery shells fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were immediately knocked upside down and suffered heavy casualties.  Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry to take advantage of the situation and charged into the crowd of Japanese soldiers, wielding his sword and killing them wantonly. The Japanese army was suddenly like a piece of grass.The falling of the film.  Liu Jianguo led the main force of the infantry to arrive in time and poured into the chaotic Japanese army like a tide.  Due to the defeat of our own cavalry, the 16th Infantry Regiment that rushed in was also in panic. Under the joint attack of the main cavalry, armor and infantry forces of the city defense army.  Soon, the Japanese army began to retreat helplessly. Under such circumstances, once it retreated, the consequences would be unimaginable.  Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry and armored company to attack, and the Japanese army quickly turned from retreat to rout.  At this time, Du Ting rushed to the battlefield with the second battalion of the third regiment and the guard company directly under the regiment. With the addition of this new force, the city defense army's offensive increased greatly.  At the same time, Liu Guodong led the main force of the second regiment to attack across the board and launched a fierce attack on the position.  Because the 16th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment were ordered to reinforce the 29th Infantry Regiment, both were defeated.  And has been defeated and returned to its own position. Zhang Xinghan's cavalry and armored troops have broken into the Japanese position from the side.  As a result, the 30th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army who stayed in the position ignored the head and tail, and the defense line was quickly broken through by Liu Guodong's Second Regiment.  At this point, the Japanese 15th Infantry Brigade Headquarters and the 30th Infantry Regiment had to retreat hastily.  The last Japanese troops were scattered and disorganized, and for a time they were defeated like a mountain.  Zhang Xinghan led the main force of the city defense force to take the opportunity to pursue them bravely. The Japanese soldiers they killed cried for their fathers and mothers, and their blood flowed like rivers.  As the main force of the Japanese army was defeated across the board, Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry and armored company to attack Sujiatun. Under the extremely critical situation, Ishihara Wanji, who was in charge of Sujiatun, ignored his good friend Seishiro Itagaki and got on the train with a group of soldiers.  The guard staff fled in panic towards Liaoyang.  By four o'clock in the morning, the city defense army captured Sujiatun, completely defeating the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army and gaining countless victories.  Seishiro Itagaki, who attacked East Tower Airport, finally returned without success due to the timely arrival of reinforcements from the third regiment. After suffering heavy casualties, he was able to withdraw to the east bank of the South Canal.  Knowing that Sujiatun had been captured by the Northeast Army, he panicked and led his troops to retreat in a panic towards Benxi.  At five o'clock in the morning, the city defense army stopped their pursuit and began to clean the battlefield.  The house inside the Japanese frontline headquarters in Sujiatun was in a mess. There were documents, maps and other items everywhere that had not been completely destroyed when the Japanese troops retreated.  Zhang Xinghan walked into the headquarters carrying a blood-stained saber. He looked around and saw a sun flag hanging on the wall.  Immediately he stepped forward and split it into two pieces with a swing of his knife.  "Commander! Camp seat!" At this time, several familiar voices came from outside.  Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Liu Jianguo, commander of the first regiment, Du Ting, commander of the second battalion of the third regiment, and others walking hand in hand.  Zhang Xinghan walked out of the Japanese headquarters with a knife and asked: "What was the result of the battle?" "Commander, a great victory, a great victory. In this battle, we killed more than 6,000 people and captured more than 800 people. Most of them were seriously injured and lost the ability to move.  The Japanese wounded soldiers captured more than 9,000 guns and 70 artillery pieces of various calibers, including a large number of 120 light and heavy machine guns. Most of them are still usable. There are too many bullets and grenades for the time being.  It’s uncountable, and by the way, a group of Japanese doctors and female nurses were captured,” Liu Jianguo reported excitedly.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and then said: "Kill all the prisoners, leaving no one behind. The female nurse will reward the brothers, so I can die for fun!" "But?" Liu Jianguo hesitated.  With more than 800 prisoners, and those female nurses, wouldn’t doing this make them the same as bandits?  "But what?" Zhang Xinghan didn't allow him to say more, so he said coldly: "If the Japanese captured more than 800 of our wounded soldiers, they would kill them all without hesitation. As for women, the end is definitely not what you and I want."  It’s as miserable as you can imagine. I’m just treating others with their own methods.” “Besides, from the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War to the present, how many of our compatriots has the Japanese killed in our three eastern provinces?  How many girls do we have?” After saying that, Zhang Xinghan glanced at his subordinates with cold eyes like daggers, and shouted: “You all must remember it clearly for me. From now on, no Japanese prisoners will be taken, and all of them will be dealt with on the spot.”  , men and women! To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to ourselves. To deal with such despicable and shameless beasts as the Japanese, we can only retaliate with tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and let them know that we Chinese are not cowards and cowards, nor are we the Chinese nation.  Kind people can be bullied. Our ancestors have wiped out countless foreign barbarians. As their descendants, our blood is still cold and our blood is still there! Anyone who offends China will be killed! Do you understand?  !" All the subordinates responded in unison, starting from this moment.They no longer hesitate and are no longer soft-hearted.  They are no longer lambs to be slaughtered, but human-hungry tigers.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 44: Victory

    In mid-September, the Northeast has basically bid farewell to the hot weather, and the weather has gradually become cooler.  ??Especially in the early morning, the dew is quite heavy.  At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan handed over the matters of cleaning the battlefield, counting the results of the battle, and appeasing the wounded soldiers to Liu Jian, Wang Yicai, and others.  Riding a war horse and a few cavalrymen, he went straight into the city and ran towards his house in the east of the city.  It’s past six o’clock in Shenyang City and it’s already bid farewell to the dark night. The citizens, who had long been frightened by the noise of gunfire last night, walked out of their homes as soon as the sky lit up.  When they learned the exciting news that the city defense army had won a great victory and the Japanese army had been defeated, the citizens of the whole city fell into a state of revelry.  Zhang Xinghan led several cavalrymen and ran into the streets of Shenyang, covered in blood, and immediately attracted the attention of countless carnival citizens.  Looking at Zhang Xinghan, who was bleeding through his clothes, and several cavalry soldiers behind him, riding into the city, the people in the carnival became quiet one after another.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Seeing this, the common people took the initiative to give way. Zhang Xinghan and his men could move freely wherever they went.  "Which army are they from? Why are they covered in blood?" A group of middle-aged people were discussing in a corner on both sides of the street.  "Did you see the leader? He is Zhang Xinghan, the acting commander of our Shenyang city defense army. It was he who led the city defense army in a fight with the little Japanese last night. He killed the little Japanese with blood flowing into the river and fled in a miserable defeat."  The knowledgeable young student pointed at Zhang Xinghan who was riding by.  "How do you know?" Several middle-aged people turned to look at him.  "Several of our classmates have joined the city defense army. When we went to the labor force, we were lucky enough to meet Commander Zhang." The young student said proudly.  "Then this Commander Zhang is really young, and he's got the fucking talent to do it with a real sword and a real gun from Japan." A middle-aged man looked at Zhang Xinghan in the distance with admiration and said.  "Yes, the young marshal and his hundreds of thousands of men didn't dare to fight against Little Japan. Even the marshal was killed by the bomb." Another middle-aged man nodded and sighed.  "Well done, Commander Zhang! Well done to the city defense army! They are all great men!" The middle-aged man from before said loudly, waving his arms in excitement.  Seeing someone taking the lead, the other citizens, who had long wanted to say something, started shouting in unison.  At the end, he directly changed the slogan to "Long live Zhang Xinghan, long live the city defense army." Zhang Xinghan was deeply moved when he heard the chorus of thousands of citizens shouting. He reined up his horse and turned his head, and pulled out his cannon  The sword that drank the blood of the Japanese invaders was suddenly raised.  The people who had been shouting in unison just now fell silent, and the silence on the scene could be heard.  Zhang Xinghan raised his sword, looked around, and then shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, all the people in the city! The sword is with you, and the people are with you in the city! If the Japanese invaders dare to invade again, Zhang will use this sword in his hand."  , cut off their heads. In a word, as long as I, Zhang Xinghan, and the city defense army are here, Shenyang will be safe!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Xinghan skillfully put the sword back into the scabbard, pulled the reins, and the war horse neighed and spread its hooves.  He ran towards the east of the city.  It wasn't until Zhang Xinghan ran away with several of his subordinates that the citizens at the scene came to their senses. They excitedly started to raise their arms and shout: "Long live Commander Zhang! Long live the city defense army!" Amidst the cheers of the citizens,  , Zhang Xinghan and several of his men rushed outside the gate of his house.  At this time, the door of the Zhang family had been opened, and Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping, accompanied by Wang Ruoying, had heard the sound and came out.  Zhang Xinghan quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back." "Okay, it'll be good to be back." Zhang Yuxi said with a tearful smile.  Wang Ruoying hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Xinghan up, looking at his blood-stained military uniform with distress, and asked with concern: "Are you injured?" "No, this is the blood of little Japan." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Did you win this time?" Zhang's mother Liu Liping asked.  "Well, I completely defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army this time and gained a lot. Shenyang will be safe in a short time." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, let's all go in quickly. Xinghan, go wash up and change your clothes." Zhang Yuxi wiped away her tears and waved.  "No, Dad, I still have military duties to attend to, so I'll come home and make sure you guys are safe. After finishing the urgent military duties at hand, I'll come back and have dinner with you in the evening." Zhang Xinghan said, and was about to turn around.  "Hey, wait a minute." Wang Ruoying stopped him.  "What's the matter? Ruoying." Zhang XinghanThe head asked.  "How is my father doing?" Wang Ruoying asked.  "He should have arrived in Jinzhou by now. Everything is fine. Don't worry about it." Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment.  "I'm leaving." Zhang Xinghan got on his horse and was about to leave.  "Xinghan, please pay attention to your safety." Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping asked worriedly.  "Don't worry." Zhang Xinghan's voice came and he was already galloping away.  …………………………… After returning to the city defense commander, Liu Jianguo and others had finished cleaning the battlefield and were all present.  "Commander is here!" Following the guard's loud shout, Liu Jianguo and others stood up one after another and cast their eyes towards the door in unison.  Zhang Xinghan hurriedly took a shower, changed into a clean military uniform, and strode in with his head held high.  "Everyone, please sit down." Zhang Xinghan came in and waved his hands to them.  After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette and asked: "Jianguo, what are the casualties of each regiment?" "Commander, according to statistics, the losses of our city defense army are as follows. One regiment suffered the most casualties, with about 600 people injured.  , more than 400 people were killed, and more than half of them were killed. The second regiment suffered 231 casualties and 412 wounded. The third regiment suffered slightly fewer casualties, with 89 killed and 120 wounded. The cavalry company was killed.  Thirty-two people, and almost all of them were injured. By the way, there were also the airport garrison battalion. Their casualties were also more than 200. In this battle, our army suffered a total of about 900 casualties.  , more than 1,200 people were wounded, accounting for more than a quarter of our army's total number of casualties, and among the more than 1,200 wounded soldiers, no more than half could fully recover and demobilize. In other words, this group  In the battle, we lost more than 1,500 people, and together with the previous casualties, we lost more than 2,000 people," Liu Jianguo counted.  "So many?" Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard this. It seems that his weapons and equipment are still not advanced enough. Under such circumstances, the Japanese army can still cause such heavy casualties to his troops.  If you can have more advanced weapons and equipment, then such battle losses will definitely be improved.  Apart from anything else, if you equip all your cavalry with submachine guns, then in close combat, you can inflict a lot of damage to the Japanese army by just pulling the trigger.  If you had a sufficient number of tanks and armored vehicles, you might not need the cavalry and infantry to charge without regard for their lives.  They just need to follow the armored troops to pick up guala.  "By the way, two pilots of the aviation team unfortunately died." Liu Jianguo suddenly added.  "What? How could someone from the aviation team die?" Zhang Xinghan didn't know at this time that last night, the old Japanese Seishiro Itagaki took a desperate risk and led a partial division to attack the airport again when the main force was defeated. He couldn't help but be shocked.  "Last night, after the main force of the regiment and the garrison battalion defeated the main force of the Japanese army and took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit, another Japanese army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the positions of our regiment and battalion. The situation was extremely critical. Fortunately, Captain Gao Zhihang led all the pilots to join the battle in time.  The Japanese attack was temporarily blocked. "But the Japanese were unwilling to fail and used poison gas bombs on our troops at the airport, and the two pilots died as a result," Liu Jianguo said with a sad look.  "Sigh." Zhang Xinghan also said with regret. As an A-level special forces soldier, no one knows better than him how much time and cost it takes to train a pilot.  Especially at this time, China is lagging behind in science and technology and lacking in human and material resources.  The cost of training two pilots is enough to train a company of infantry.  "Go ahead and give the order to bury all the brothers who died. The injured brothers must be rescued at all costs." After Zhang Xinghan gave the order, he waved his hand and said: "If you have nothing to do, let's adjourn the meeting first and visit our injured soldiers more often to comfort and encourage the morale of the army.  " "Yes!" Liu Jianguo and others stood up at the same time and responded, then turned around and dispersed.  After everyone left, Liu Jianguo suddenly left again and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Yingzuo, we have achieved such a great victory. Should we send a message to the marshal or the Nanjing government to report the victory?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Well  , thank you for reminding me. Although the young marshal has now secretly broken with us, this good news still has to be sent. The brothers should get the awards they deserve and the praise of the people. So, you will immediately draft a message and send it directly to  Chairman Chiang of Nanjing sent a telegram to report victory. "Yes, I will do it right away." Liu Jianguo stood up and saluted again, and then left as ordered.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 45: Watch Upgrade

    After Liu Jianguo left, Zhang Xinghan began to worry about weapons and equipment. Although the Shenyang Arsenal could mass-produce weapons and equipment.  But in the eyes of Zhang Xinghan, a latecomer, its production lines are indeed somewhat backward, and most of the weapon production lines and technologies are imported and copied from Japan.  When facing the Japanese army, with the same number of troops and weapons, it is difficult to gain an advantage.  In this Shenyang defense battle, Zhang Xinghan can be said to have been mentally unprepared. He was familiar with the historical trend, which meant that he knew the Japanese army's next actions in advance.  That’s why we were able to pre-emptively strike at every turn, causing the Japanese army to run into obstacles at every turn, and ultimately suffered defeat.  But what’s next?  The Kwantung Army suffered more than half of its casualties in the defeat. With such heavy losses, will the Japanese give up?  The answer is definitely no.  More than twenty years ago, Japan’s Meiji Restoration had just begun to bear fruit, and it dared to fight with the old colonial empire, Tsarist Russia, in Northeast Asia.  Today, more than 20 years later, Japan’s national strength, military strength, scientific and technological level have undergone earth-shaking changes and have improved dramatically.  Having suffered such a huge defeat in the Northeast, the Japanese authorities and militarists will definitely not give up.  Since the establishment of the Japanese army in the Meiji period, the Japanese have fought with China, Russia and other neighboring countries without losing a single defeat. Japan has become the most powerful country in Asia.  Under such circumstances, the Kwantung Army returned defeated at the foot of Shenyang City, with over 10,000 casualties as their swords were broken and sank in the sand. One can imagine how much shock there would be in Japan after learning of this situation.  Will the Japanese swallow their anger and be willing to fail?  Before time travel, or even before the war, Zhang Xinghan once believed that once he could teach the Japanese Kwantung Army a sufficient lesson, the anti-war forces in Japan would gain the upper hand, thus preventing the expansion of the September 18th Incident and preventing the Japanese army from invading China.  However, after fighting with the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan suddenly understood that once the two sides fought, China and Japan would be in a fight to the death. Unless one country was defeated, there would be no way to stop fighting and make peace.  Of course, there is another possibility. If China is strong enough at this time, to be precise, if Zhang Xinghan's city defense army in Shenyang is strong enough, then maybe the Japanese will be afraid and dare not launch large-scale retaliation, so they can swallow their anger and stop fighting.  But this is just a if. At present, although Zhang Xinghan defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army, his own strength also suffered a great loss. Although there was no loss, Zhang Xinghan's strength was far from reaching the point where Japan could be afraid.  Because he is not the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army Zhang Xiaoliu at this time, and he has hundreds of thousands of troops, so no country or force can but have some scruples.  When he was bored, Zhang Xinghan took out the multi-function watch he always carried with him from his pocket.  From the day before yesterday to now, Zhang Xinghan has been busy deploying troops, formulating battle plans, etc. Except for yesterday using his watch to get a batch of poison gas bombs to use against the Japs in an emergency, he has no time to play with this watch, which Zhang Xinghan regards as a treasure.  .  Taking out his watch and turning on the screen lock, Zhang Xinghan first looked at the various popular songs that he often listened to later in life and listened to a few.  Recalling every bit of his past life, Zhang Xinghan showed a smile.  As his finger slid, the screen of the watch began to flip to the military game that Zhang Xinghan had downloaded.  My own unlimited ammunition production machine is a piece of software in this game, which was mutated after traveling through time.  With emotion, Zhang Xinghan clicked on the game icon again.  After clicking on the game, the first thing Zhang Xinghan saw was the icon of an infinite ammunition production machine.  After a pause, Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered that when he played this game before, there seemed to be some options at the back, such as aircraft, tanks, cannons, various guns, grenades and other military items.  They are integrated with this infinite ammunition production machine, so that you can fully enjoy the fun of the game.  At that time, when I clicked on this infinite ammunition production machine two days ago, I was shocked by the sudden change and my attention was attracted to it.  Since then, I haven’t had time to conduct in-depth research on other options in the game, until now I just won a big victory.  With his head full of worries and boredom, Zhang Xinghan took out his watch and clicked on the game.  Recalling that Zhang Xinghan pressed his index finger on the icon of the infinite ammunition production machine without letting go, he slid it to the right.  The screen changed, and an icon with crossed guns appeared on the screen.  There is also a line of small text annotation under this icon, "Infinite gun production machine." That is?, Zhang Xinghan muttered to himself with a familiar look on his face, stretched out his hand and clicked on the icon.  Suddenly, the mutation reappeared. Just like the day before yesterday, the watch screen suddenly burst out with a ball of colorful light, and then a three-meter-square similar substantial light curtain appeared above the watch screen.  The screen is covered with small pictures representing various guns.  Zhang Xinghan clicked on the first picture, and it zoomed in. Zhang Xinghan could see clearly that it was a semi-automatic rifle. There was also a small line of annotation under the picture: M1 American Garand semi-automatic rifle.  Zhang Xinghan clicked again with some excitement, and three eye-catching large characters "Producible" appeared on the screen. Under the large characters, there were two words "Yes" and "No" respectively.  Without hesitation, I clicked Yes, and the screen changed again. A digital virtual disk for selection appeared. There were OK and Cancel buttons on the upper right side of the virtual disk.  Zhang Xinghan clicked the number one button and then clicked OK. The screen suddenly changed. A Garand semi-automatic rifle appeared. There was a blue progress bar under the gun, which was moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.  As the progress bar came to an end, a pleasant "ding" sounded, and a brand new Garand semi-automatic rifle fell on the conference table in front of Zhang Xinghan.  With excitement in his arms, Zhang Xinghan picked up the Garand semi-automatic rifle in front of him. The gun body felt cold when he took it into his hands.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The hard body of the gun proves its existence and proves that this is not an illusion.  After sizing up the Garand semi-automatic rifle, Zhang Xinghan opened the safety and pulled the bolt.  Aiming at the wall in front and pulling the trigger, the expected "bang" sound did not sound, but a clanking sound of the bullet running out.  Zhang Xinghan held it in front of his eyes in confusion, thought about it for a while, then opened the magazine and saw that there was nothing inside.  He immediately slapped his forehead and laughed at himself: "This gun doesn't come with bullets." Putting down the gun, Zhang Xinghan looked at his watch again. At this time, the watch had automatically returned to the gun type.  Zhang Xinghan scrolled down the screen and saw all kinds of guns, grenades, and anti-tank grenades, most of which were famous guns and cannons from the Second World War. After all, this is a war military game.  In order to allow military fans to experience the most realistic war experience, software developers try to make the weapons and equipment in the game as antique as possible.  But it cannot be too backward to be boring, so famous guns and artillery from the Second World War have become the best choice.  With excitement, Zhang Xinghan successively tried to produce a German standard machine gun MG34 general machine gun from the 1930s and a German 80mm mortar.  They were successfully produced without any surprise. Finally, Zhang Xinghan tried to produce several other guns and artillery, and they were all successful.  A huge sense of joy suddenly filled Zhang Xinghan’s mind, and he couldn’t help but raise his head and start laughing.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 46: Become famous all over the world

    Hukou County is located on the south bank of the vast Yangtze River. This is an important port town where Poyang Lake enters the river.  Named after the only intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, it is the gateway to the water in Jiangxi, known as the key to the rivers and lakes and the thoroughfare (qu) of the three provinces.  At the port of Hukou County, a large number of well-equipped Japanese guards have been standing guard all around, and no one can get close to them.  Several American-made cars slowly drove into the port terminal. As soon as the first car stopped, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, pushed out the door with a wary look on his face.  .  After getting out of the car, the middle-aged man looked around, then turned and walked towards the second car.  He walked to the right side of the car, opened the door, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Principal, here we are." (Note: Jiang Gong became chairman of the Military Commission and chief of staff on March 6, 1932, so in  Before this, it cannot be called a committee member.) Mr. Jiang in the car nodded and got out of the car with his hat on.  "The boat is ready and we can leave immediately." The middle-aged man closed the car door and told Jiang.  "Well, let's go. The Japanese invaders invaded our northeast and the situation is critical. We have to return to Nanjing early." Jiang Gong nodded.  When the September 18th Incident broke out, Chiang Kai-shek was on his way to Nanchang by boat. He learned about the Japanese invaders' brazen launch of the September 18th Incident when he arrived at Hukou.  Anxiously, Jiang Gong decided to cancel his trip to Nanchang and planned to return to Nanjing today to convene important officials of the national government to discuss countermeasures.  At this moment, another car drove up on the road behind. Jiang Gong, the chief of guards Wang Shihe and other guards heard the sound and turned around.  Wang Shi, who is Jiang Gong's nephew, looked at the driveway in confusion: "Is there any emergency?" "Shihe, go and see what's going on." Jiang Gong signaled.  Wang Shihe responded and strode forward. At this time, the incoming car had been stopped by the peripheral guards of the Guard Corps.  A man in a suit quickly opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw Wang Shihe, he waved his hand and said: "Captain Wang, I have an urgent battle report to report to the leader." The person Wang Shihe saw was the person in charge of the Hukou Station of the Secret Investigation Team of the National Military Commission.  He immediately waved his hand to signal the guards to let him come over.  This secret investigation team is one of the predecessors of the Military Command Bureau. It was established in 1927 and was specially used by Jiang Gong to search for intelligence and deal with hostile forces. It also has a simple name, that is, the Secret Service Headquarters.  "What's going on?" Wang Shihe stopped him and asked.  “I just received a telegram forwarded from the Nanjing headquarters, it’s about Northeast China.” The person in charge said.  "Okay, leave it to me. I will hand it over to the principal. You can go back." Wang Shihe spoke with an unquestionable tone.  "Oh, okay." The person in charge did not dare to disobey and immediately turned around and left.  After watching him get into the car and drive away, Wang Shihe turned around and returned to Jiang Gong. By this time, Jiang Gong had already boarded the boat.  "Shihe, what's going on?" Jiang Gong asked, sitting on the sofa in a small living room in the cabin.  "Principal, this is a telegram from the Nanjing headquarters about the latest developments in the war in Northeast China." Wang Shihe said, handing over the telegram with both hands.  Jiang Gong did not answer, but waved his hand and said: "Read it." "Yes!" Wang Shihe opened the message as ordered, took a look, and then said excitedly: "The Japanese invaders of the Southern Manchuria Railway Garrison Unit 1 on September 9  At ten o'clock in the evening on the 18th of the month, we brazenly launched an attack on the Shenyang North Camp where the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army was stationed. I was forced to lead the entire battalion of officers and soldiers to fight back. After a fierce battle, the invading enemy was completely wiped out.  The main force of the bandits was also attacking Shenyang, the capital of our province. Under the critical situation, the Ministry of Staff led the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Brigade of our army to rush to the enemy's command post at night to attack the enemy's command post, killing one Japanese colonel-level officer and several other lieutenants.  , temporarily relieved the siege of Shenyang. Unwilling to fail, the Japanese invaders returned. Provincial Police Chief Huang Xiansheng was ordered to evacuate. He could not bear to sit back and watch the fall of Shenyang, so he took the initiative to take over the post of acting commander of the city defense army and led the entire city's soldiers and civilians to fight against it.  After a bloody battle by all the soldiers, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army was severely damaged last night, killing more than 6,000 enemies, injuring countless others, and capturing a lot of money. Now Shenyang is safe, thanks to the concerted efforts of the 8,000 soldiers of our city defense army.  Fight bravely. Now, the enemy Kwantung Army has been defeated and will never have the strength to fight again in a short time. If we can drive the soldiers from North China to the north and assist them from Jilin and Heilongjiang, we will humble ourselves and lead the soldiers from Shenyang as the vanguard. Hundreds of thousands.  The army besieged Dalian, Lushun, and they will definitely succeed in one battle and completely drive the Japanese invaders out of our territory outside the customs. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. I hope Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, the former commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the **7th Brigade and the Shenyang City Defense Force, will learn from it.  Acting Commander Zhang Xinghan reported to Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek in Shenyang on September 21, 2011.Wang Shihe finally finished reading, but Jiang Gong, who was sitting on the sofa and had been disapproving just now, had a huge change in his expression. He stood up and snatched the message from Wang Shihe's hand.  I read it carefully again and couldn't help but asked, "Is this news true?" "It should be true, otherwise the Nanjing headquarters would not be in a hurry to forward it." Wang Shihe said.  "Okay, my dear, my dear, this Zhang Xinghan is amazing, he is a formidable young man. This battle was brilliant. When we get to Nanjing, I will definitely reward this young man." Jiang Gong looked particularly excited.  The ship has already set sail, and a large number of guards have boarded the ship and are gradually leaving the shore.  "When did Zhang Hanqing have such a young and promising junior officer under Zhang Hanqing?" Mr. Jiang muttered in his heart.  ???…………………Yenjing University, Peking.  After careful preparation, more than a hundred students from various departments, including Zhang Xinghua, have all gathered on the playground on campus.  Yesterday, their demonstration and petition did not achieve any results, but they did not give up because of this.  “Students, before we leave today, I want to announce some exciting news to you.” Cao Binghua, currently the dean of the History Department of Yenching University, said excitedly when he came to the students, accompanied by Su Hanyun and other teachers.  Zhang Xinghua and other young students all looked at each other, confused.  When Zhang Xinghua looked at Su Hanyun, he found that her eyes were shining with joy.  After a pause, Cao Binghua announced loudly and excitedly at the top of his voice: "Students, last night, just last night, in Shenyang, someone created a miracle. With eight thousand poorly equipped city defense troops, they defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army.  The main force achieved the glorious result of annihilating tens of thousands of enemies. This battle reversed the critical situation in Shenyang. It not only saved the city of Shenyang, but also saved the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of compatriots. "Who is this?  real or fake?  The students were all shocked when they heard this. They looked around and started talking.  Zhang Xinghua was shocked. The eldest brother is in Shenyang. Could it be the eldest brother?  No, the eldest brother is just a battalion commander of the 7th Brigade of the **, it can't be him.  Looking at the talking students with a smile on his face, Cao Binghua said with great excitement and pride: "Students, this miracle worker is none other than our classmate Zhang Xinghua, who is currently the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Commander of the 3rd Battalion and Acting Commander of the Shenyang City Defense Force. "As soon as Cao Binghua said this, more than a hundred students immediately exploded, and everyone looked at Zhang Xinghua with complicated eyes.  Zhang Xinghua was a little at a loss. It turned out to be the eldest brother. It was really him. He actually created such a great miracle and history.  Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Hanyun and saw her happy smile, and Zhang Xinghua felt sweet in his heart for no reason.  "Last night's battle was the Chinese nation's first victory over Japanese imperialism since the Sino-Japanese War. Eight thousand Shenyang city defense troops, led by Commander Zhang Xinghan, defended the dignity of our Chinese nation and the honor of their soldiers with their own flesh and blood.  . It is said that during the fiercest battle last night, Commander Zhang Xinghan even risked his own life and led more than a hundred cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese invaders. He fought fiercely with the enemy and sacrificed his life for the country and the nation.  He is a national anti-Japanese hero who deserves to be learned and respected by all our people," Cao Binghua continued impassionedly.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 47: Army Colonel

    "Compare Commander Zhang Xinghan to Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Border Defense Force and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Navy, Land and Air Force. He has hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northeast Border Defense Force, yet he flees without fighting, is too timid to resist, and is greedy for life and fear of death. It is really shocking.  People are extremely angry!" Cao Binghua paused and then said: "Today, we will hold another demonstration and petition. We must publicize Commander Zhang's heroic deeds and create pressure on Marshal Zhang and other North China authorities to force them to arm themselves to resist Japan and protect their families.  Weiguo. "………………………… Beiping City, the residence of Marshal Zhang Xiaoliu.  Many people gathered in the main hall. They were Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 7th ** Brigade, and other military officers of the main brigades.  Because they did not resist the order, they, like the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, were forced to withdraw from their original base to the Jinzhou line.  As for gathering at the Young Marshal’s Mansion, it was not Zhang Xueliang’s order, but they all had their own purposes.  Some people came to Peiping to find Zhang Xiaoliu on their own initiative because they were not angry with the Japanese invaders for occupying the Northeast, hoping to persuade him to order a resistance. Others came for revenge.  He was Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Border Defense Army Headquarters. When he learned that his son was shot as a deserter by Zhang Xinghan in Shenyang.  Rong Zhen, a heavy smoker, almost fainted from anger. In a rage, he hurriedly sent a message to Zhang Xiaoliu, demanding revenge.  He even left Jinzhou without authorization and rushed back to Beiping City. He wanted to meet Zhang Xiaoliu in person and ask him to uphold justice for the Rong family.  As Zhang Xinghan’s prospective father-in-law and son-in-law caused such a catastrophe, he naturally could not sit idly by and ignore it, so after handing over the troops to Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan and others, he also followed them to Beiping City.  Everyone was sitting anxiously waiting with their own concerns. Rong Zhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the main hall.  "Young Marshal is here!" A loud shout came out, and all the generals of the Northeast Army, including Rong Zhen, turned around and looked along the sound.  Wang Yizhe also stood up from his chair. As Zhang Xueliang's absolute confidant, he could see that Zhang Xueliang had a sullen face and looked very unhappy.  "Everyone, please take a seat." Zhang Xueliang walked into the main hall and waved his hand to everyone.  Everyone did not dare to do it first, but saluted one after another.  They didn’t sit down until Zhang Xueliang sat down.  Rong Zhen did not sit down, but asked with a sad face: "Young Marshal, Zi Heng was harmed by Zhang Xinghan, a bastard. You have to uphold justice for your humble position. He is the only descendant of our Rong family."  A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhang Xiaoliu's eyebrows. He had already learned the news that Zang Shiyi failed to capture Zhang Xinghan and was controlled by Zhang Xinghan. Moreover, he also learned an even more shocking news. Zhang Xinghan, with less than ten thousand people,  The city defense army actually defeated the well-equipped Kwantung Army.  However, he did not show it immediately. Instead, he gave up and said to Rong Zhen: "Chief of Staff Rong, don't get excited first. Sit down first. Sit down." Sensing a hint of impatience in Zhang Xiaoliu's tone, Rong Zhen  He did not continue, but sat aside obediently.  After everyone sat down, Zhang Xiaoliu deliberately said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Zhang Xinghan killed my guard battalion commander without authorization and disobeyed the central government's order. I have decided to immediately remove him from all positions in our Northeast Army.  And ordered the agents to wait for the opportunity to arrest him so that he can be punished!" As soon as Zhang Xueliang said this, everyone present was slightly surprised, and Rong Zhen showed a proud sneer.  Wang Yizhe's expression changed greatly, and he stood up quickly and said: "Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan led his lone army to fight bloody battles to hold on to Shenyang City. There is no merit but hard work. Moreover, the night before, he led his troops to wipe out the more than 500 soldiers who invaded the Peking Camp.  The Japanese invaders also took over the headquarters of the 29th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army and solved the siege of Shenyang. As for the execution of Captain Rong, there may be another hidden reason. The Japanese invaders are determined to invade the territory of the three eastern provinces, and the enemy is now at hand.  , I hope the young marshal will put the overall situation first. " "Wang Yizhe, what do you mean by this? We both know that the Nanjing government has repeatedly issued orders not to resist, but Zhang Xinghan disobeyed and killed my son. Isn't that right?  Do you deserve it?" Rong Zhen suddenly jumped out of anger.  "Chief of Staff Rong, as a soldier, especially as a soldier from the Northeast, I watched the Japanese invaders invade the beautiful mountains and rivers of our three provinces and massacre the elders in my hometown, and remained indifferent. Although it was an order, how could I have a clear conscience?" Wang Yizhe said,  The conversation changed: "Zhang Xinghan is just a small battalion commander of our seventh brigade. When he heard about the Japanese invasion, he resolutely led his men to resist, and he also took the initiative to lead a lone army to defend Shenyang without any fear of life or death. And we, as the commander-in-chief, Pao Ze  , but lead the troops to flee without fighting, isn't it shameful?" Wang Yizhe's words were well received.Most of the Northeast Army generals agreed, and they all nodded in agreement.  Rong Zhen’s face turned pale with anger, his hands were clenched, his veins were exposed, and he looked at Wang Yizhe coldly with gritted teeth.  Just as he was about to have an attack, an attendant from the Young Marshal's Mansion suddenly walked in from outside with a somewhat hurried expression.  The attendant walked quickly to Zhang Xiaoliu and whispered: "Young Marshal, I just received the news that Jiang Gong, the commander-in-chief of the National Government, has personally sent Zhang Xinghan a commendation order and a letter of appointment, officially appointing him as the commander of the Shenyang City Defense Army.  Promote him to Army Colonel. ""What?" Zhang Xiaoliu was shocked when he heard this and looked at the attendant with a pale face.  "Is the news true?" "Absolutely true." The attendant replied.  "The meeting is dismissed, the meeting is dismissed." The upset Zhang Xiaoliu immediately waved his hand.  Rong Zhen just wanted to call him, but he glared at him and had to give up.  Watching Zhang Xiaoliu leave in anger, Wang Yizhe and other Northeastern Army generals were all confused.  They all came forward to ask the attendants, and the attendants told everyone the above-mentioned news.  After hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed with shock. How is this possible?  With less than ten thousand city defense troops, they actually defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army?  The one who was most surprised and unwilling to believe was Rong Zhen, a heavy smoker. After listening to the attendant's story, he grabbed the attendant's shoulders and roared: "How is it possible? How is this possible? How can this bastard defeat the Kwantung Army?"  "Chief of Staff Rong, it is true that the Nanjing National Government has issued a letter of appointment to Zhang Xinghan and sent a telegram of commendation. I think that by now, major newspapers will have started to publish this news, right? If you don't believe it, you can go to the street  Go buy a newspaper and read it." The attendant said with some displeasure as he shook off Rong Zhen's big hand.  Shenyang City, City Defense Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan is trying to get familiar with a 37mm German anti-tank gun that he just took out from his watch.  As a combat defense gun, that is, an anti-tank gun, Zhang Xinghan actually found a better choice, which was the 88mm anti-aircraft gun that shined in World War II.  "However, since the Japanese armored forces have never been very good, especially in these 31 years, their most advanced tank is the Type 89 tank.  "To deal with this kind of tank, a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun can turn it into a hornet's nest, let alone this authentic German 37MM anti-aircraft gun.  "When you fight against the Japs' tanks, you can definitely hit them one at a time."  Since the Northeast Army has a complete military-industrial foundation and military schools, Zhang Xinghan has no shortage of artillerymen who can fire cannons and tank and armor troops who can drive tanks.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan is interested in this kind of anti-war artillery is probably due to the curiosity of the time travellers.  As the Republic’s best special forces soldier in his previous life, he was good at operating and using almost all modern military weapons and equipment, but this was his first time with this famous World War II artillery piece.  Soldiers like weapons and equipment, just like gamblers like playing poker, and prostitutes like playing prostitutes. It's just a hobby.  Zhang Xinghan was studying intently when a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside.  "Commander, a call from Nanjing." A communications soldier stood up and stood at attention.  "Oh? Nian." Zhang Xinghan said without looking back.  "Commander Zhang Xinghan of the Shenyang City Defense Army, the good news of your unit has been received. The whole government is extremely happy, and the Central Committee is also extremely gratified. In recognition of your outstanding military exploits and heroic performance, you are officially appointed as the commander of the Shenyang City Defense Army and awarded the rank of Army Colonel.  , I hope you will make new contributions to the country and the nation, on September 21, 2019, Chiang Kai-shek,” the communications soldier read.  PS: During the busy farming season, the autumn wind will harvest wheat in the next two days. I don’t have time to code during the day, so I can only work hard at night. This is the update of this book today. There will be another chapter of Super Chinese Empire before twelve o’clock.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 48: Japan’s Response

    After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed and immediately ordered the communications soldier: "Immediately telegraph this commendation to all the soldiers in the city as an encouragement!" "Yes!" The communications soldier saluted and left.  Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and smoked it happily. The reason why he was happy was not because of Chairman Chiang's commendation message and letter of appointment.  Because even without these formal recognitions from Jiang Gong, Zhang Xinghan believed that his control over the remaining 5,000 city defense troops in the city would not change in any way.  He was happy that after being formally appointed and recognized by the Nanjing central government headed by Jiang Gong, it would not be so easy for Zhang Xiaoliu to do something to himself.  “At least it can’t be so blatant and unscrupulous.  Of course, it is undeniable that the formal appointment by the Nanjing government at least transformed these city defense forces from the Northeast Army into the real Shenyang City Defense Army, a city defense force under the command of Zhang Xinghan.  In fact, Jiang Gong’s public appointment and award really made Zhang Xiaoliu angry in Peiping.  After hastily disbanding the impromptu meeting with his subordinates, Zhang Xiaoliu went directly back to his study, closed the door, and began to roar and curse uncontrollably.  Just when Zhang Xiaoliu was angrily scolding Mr. Jiang for being fatuous and incompetent, he was playing the piano randomly.  There was a knock on the door outside the study.  Zhang Xiaoliu was furious and immediately shouted outside the door: "Get out of here, I won't see anyone!" "Han Qing, it's me." A pleasant female voice came from outside the door.  When Zhang Xiaoliu heard that the visitor was actually his confidante Miss Zhao, his scowl eased slightly and he suppressed his anger and said: "Oh, it's Qixia, come in." With a creak, the study door opened, revealing the naturally beautiful Miss Zhao.  Money walked in.  "Han Qing, what's wrong with you? You're so angry." Miss Zhao asked with a concerned look on her face.  "It's nothing." Zhang Xiaoliu didn't want to bring his troubles to her.  Miss Zhao was so smart, she nodded, and instead of asking more questions, she said to him: "Your body is the most important thing in everything. Being angry can harm your body." "Well, I know, you go first, I'll find you after I'm done.  "Zhang Xiaoliu nodded and waved his hands.  After Miss Zhao left as instructed, Zhang Xiaoliu immediately shouted to the door: "Adjutant Chen." "Young Marshal, are you looking for me?" Zhang Xiaoliu's chief adjutant Chen Dazhang entered in response.  "You go and notify Chief of Staff Rong and ask him to come see me immediately." Zhang Xiaoliu said.  "Yes, I will leave immediately." Chen Dazhang saluted, turned around and took the order.  After a while, Rong Zhen, a futile smoker, rushed over excitedly.  As soon as he entered the study, Rong Zhen said: "Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan actually jumped over the hierarchy to report his victory to the Nanjing government. He didn't take you seriously at all, Young Marshal. We can never keep such a rip-off." Zhang Xiaoliu  He immediately waved his hand to signal him to shut up and said: "Okay, you don't need to say more about this. I know it well. I came to you and asked you to do something."  Go all out." Rong Zhen said quickly.  "Find a way to rescue Governor Zang and the others, and then help me kill Zhang Xinghan. Remember, you must do it cleanly and without any clues." Zhang Xiaoliu said coldly with a fierce look in his eyes.  Rong Zhen was startled at first, then he nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Young Marshal, I will definitely try my best to complete this matter." "Well, you can go down first." Zhang Xiaoliu nodded.  By noon, the news that Zhang Xinghan led eight thousand city defense troops to defeat the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Shenyang, killing tens of thousands of Japanese troops, made headlines in major newspapers.  ??The streets of large and medium-sized cities such as Peiping, Tianjin, and even Jinzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Jinan, and Guangzhou were filled with news of the outbreak and victory of the September 18th Incident.  The three words Zhang Xinghan were like a strong wind, resounding throughout the country and abroad within one day.  Countless people now regard Zhang Xinghan as the greatest national anti-Japanese hero. Zhang Xinghan's reputation and fame suddenly reached an unprecedented height.  Abroad, the European and American Western powers were all extremely surprised when they heard the news. The Japanese army's brazen launch of a war of aggression certainly surprised them.  And it was even more incredible to them that this invasion ended in failure.  Newspapers from various countries have published this news that shocked the world. At the same time, well-known news organizations such as Time Magazine in the United States, The Times in the United Kingdom, and Reuters in France have sent exclusive reporters to Shenyang in Northeast China.  They are eager to get the inside story and process of the September 18th Sino-Japanese Incident.  &nbspThe Western powers were surprised and incredible, and as one of the countries involved, Japan, their reaction cannot be described in words.  The first to learn of the Kwantung Army's disastrous defeat were the Ministry of War and the Home Operations Department of the General Staff.  After the heads of the two major departments learned of the shocking news, they did not immediately report it to His Majesty the Emperor because they were afraid that doing so would trigger the impeachment of anti-war forces led by Cabinet Prime Minister Keisuke Okada.  These two departments occupy such an important position in Japanese militarism.  ?For example, they are like the general staff headquarters and the Ministry of National Defense of the later Republic.  Of course, under the special circumstances in Japan at that time, the Army Ministry could not fully represent the Ministry of National Defense.  Because they also have the Ministry of Navy, as we all know, the Japanese Army and Navy are also two factions in Japanese politics. This can be seen from the fact that they each have their own aviation forces.  Generally speaking, a country’s main arms include land, sea and air, as well as some other special arms.  But Japan in this era is quite special. Their navy and army have their own land-based aviation and sea-based aviation forces respectively.  Usually they do not belong to each other and form their own system. Unless they encounter a big battle, they will fight together.  For example, the later Battle of Songhu and other battles.  As for the power of these two institutions, they can mobilize a considerable number of troops to carry out certain operations without asking the emperor.  In order to restore the heavy losses of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and restore the invincible reputation of the Japanese Empire, the leaders of the Operations Department of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters and the Army Ministry.  Secretly mobilized the Kumamoto Sixth Division to sail to Manchuria by boat, and at the same time ordered the Twentieth Division in North Korea to immediately move towards Manchuria.  In addition to the field divisions, the Army Ministry also allocated two flying regiments to suppress the Northeast Army Air Force and cooperate with the ground forces.  The Japanese Ministry of War is preparing to use the powerful forces of three divisions to avert the humiliation of the Shenyang defeat.  Those in power believed that as long as they won the war and occupied the fertile Manchurian area, they would have no big problem if they killed first and then reported later.  PS: This is a chapter that I hurriedly ran back from the field to code. I will go to the field later, and the combine harvester will be able to harvest my wheat. That’s it.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 49: Update Weapons

    The Japanese Army Ministry was intensively mobilizing troops in an attempt to launch a retaliatory attack on Shenyang and achieve its goal of completely occupying the three eastern provinces.  In Shenyang City, Zhang Xinghan was gathering the main force of more than 5,000 city defense troops and was carrying out a comprehensive change of uniforms for them.  In addition to military uniforms, it also includes all individual soldier equipment such as steel helmets, leather military boots, military kettles, and aluminum lunch boxes.  All will be replaced.  In terms of weapons, the main weapons of individual soldiers have been replaced by the American M1 Garand rifle from the 38-year-old Gai and Liao 13-year-old rifles.  All light and heavy machine guns will be replaced by MG34 general-purpose machine guns, and mortars will all use authentic German 80mm large-caliber mortars.  Others, such as the 60mm imitation Japanese mortars, were all eliminated, and the replaced individual equipment, light and heavy machine guns, were stocked in the munitions warehouse of the Shenyang Arsenal.  There have been no major changes to the artillery force. The 75mm Krupp field gun can still meet the needs of combat on the Chinese battlefield for the time being.  Of course, in order to make up for the lack of firepower of large-caliber heavy artillery, Zhang Xinghan replaced a company of the artillery battalion with 105mm howitzers.  After the weapons and equipment were updated and refitted, Zhang Xinghan once again began to reorganize Shenyang's army and air force.  At present, the total strength of the urban defense army and air force in the Shenyang area is about 6,000.  Among them, there are more than 5,000 Army personnel and 600-700 Air Force pilots and ground crew members.  After careful consideration, Zhang Xinghan decided to formally reorganize the city defense army into the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. The three regiments remained the same, with only about a thousand personnel in each regiment.  In addition to the three infantry regiments, Zhang Xinghan also organized the former 7th Brigade Armored Company and the cavalry company in Shenyang City into an armored cavalry company directly under the brigade headquarters, with the strength increased to more than 400 people.  Mainly due to the increase in armored tank troops, the members were drawn from the cadets of the Northeast Lecture Hall.  Because the cavalry has no horses, its number has not increased for the time being, and it only has about two platoons.  This armored cavalry company also performs the mission and responsibilities of a reconnaissance company.  The original guard company was expanded into a directly affiliated guard battalion with more than 500 troops.  In addition to reorganizing a 105mm howitzer company, the original artillery battalion also added a new anti-aircraft company, equipped with six 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns and four 88mm semi-automatic anti-aircraft guns.  The so-called semi-automatic 88 anti-aircraft gun is an early product of the German 88 anti-aircraft gun family.  During the Second World War, in the later stages of the war, the 88 anti-aircraft gun derived many models, which were basically self-propelled. The reloading was much faster than the early models, which improved combat efficiency and maneuverability.  The number of the expanded artillery battalion, plus ammunition and heavy troops, has reached 700.  In addition to the above-mentioned troops directly under the brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan also reorganized the communications corps and cooking squad of the original city defense headquarters into a communications company and a logistics department directly under the brigade headquarters.  The total number of people is about four hundred.  The commander of the communications company is Xiao Lizi, the former second platoon leader of the guard company.  ……………………………… Lushun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army.  Honjo Shigeki looked at Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro who were standing in front of him with a livid face. After a long time, he slapped the table and reprimanded: "It's really unreasonable. You have been preparing carefully for so long, but you fell into the trap of an unknown little person.  " "My army of nearly 20,000 was defeated by a city defense force with less than half our strength. This is the most tragic loss suffered by the Imperial Japanese Army since the Meiji Restoration. This is a shame. " "  Your Majesty the General reprimanded me and Itagaki-kun for our poor command of this battle, and we are willing to accept any punishment." Ishihara smiled and admitted his mistake.  Honjo Shigeru sighed and said: "Forget it, I can't blame you entirely this time. If we are to blame, we can only blame our poor reconnaissance beforehand." With that said, Honjo Shigeru took out a top-secret message from his drawer and handed it to Er.  people.  Ishihara and Wanji were startled when they received the message. After opening it and reading it, they suddenly beamed with joy.  Itagaki Seishiro even more excitedly raised his head and looked at Honjo Shigeru sincerely and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, is this true?" "Well, the Sixth Division and the supplementary troops of our division have already set off by boat. The 20th Division  The regiment also set off from North Korea and is expected to arrive in about three days. After completing the assembly, we can resume the siege of Shenyang," Honjo Shige nodded.  "Great, this time we will definitely be able to avenge our shame. After breaking through Shenyang City, no chickens or dogs will be left behind. I will use the despicable Chinese people to pay tribute to the heroes of the Imperial Army soldiers who died this time!" Itagaki Seishiro said excitedly  .  "Itagaki-kun, don't be too happy too early. If something unexpected happens again this time, I'm afraid even I, the commander, will be left with nothing to bear."Fan Fan said meaningfully: "So, I ask you not to be careless, to be careful, and to completely win this battle, annihilate Zhang Xinghan's city defense army, and capture Shenyang City. Do you understand?" "Hai!"  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji suddenly lowered their heads and responded in unison, then turned around one after another and left hand in hand.  Shenyang Garrison Brigade Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan is handwriting a recruitment notice: "The Japanese invaders brazenly launched an attack on our Shenyang North Camp and Shenyang City on the 18th of this month in an attempt to annex our three northeastern provinces and brutalize our Northeastern compatriots. I, Zhang Xinghan, cannot bear the fall of our country and compatriots.  Tu Tan, led his soldiers to fight back, and has defeated the Japanese army. In order to prevent their comeback, our ministry has issued this recruitment notice. All patriotic compatriots aged 18 to 30 years old can come to Shen as soon as possible to sign up to join the army.  Work with us to defend the borders of the motherland and defend Shenyang. Finally, what Zhang wants to tell the people is that now that the war has begun, our Chinese compatriots, regardless of whether they are north or south, have the responsibility to defend their homeland and fight the war!  . Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, because this is a battle for the survival of the Chinese nation. If we do not defend Shenyang today, it may be Peking, Tianjin, or Shanghai and Nanjing that will fall in the future. We will have no way out.  But retreating is the only way out for our Chinese nation. The country is in crisis! The Northeast is in crisis, Shenyang is in crisis! Hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang are eager to help.  Yipan, waiting for brothers Paoze to come quickly for reinforcements. "……………………………………………………………… Peiping, Yanjing University.  Cao Binghua gathered the students together again and said indignantly: "Students, Zhang Xueliang is unwilling to resist. Now General Zhang Xinghan is alone in Shenyang City, waiting for reinforcements. He has issued a special recruitment notice, calling on compatriots across the country to join the army to serve the country and defend Shenyang.  , Defend the Northeast, defend the whole of China! There is a saying in his slogan that is very good. Once the war begins, our Chinese nation, no matter the north or the south, no matter how old or young, all have the responsibility to defend the country and fight the war. The country will rise or fall.  Everyone has a responsibility! "We have been highly educated for many years and we pride ourselves on being intellectually advanced young people. Now that we are facing a national crisis, we should abandon our writing and join the army to serve our country." "Director Cao, please take us to Shenyang.  If you want to join the army, we will follow Commander Zhang to fight the Japanese!" said one student with an excited expression.  "Yes, we want to join the army and fight the Japanese." Other students immediately echoed in unison.  PS: It’s finally written. It’s not easy for me. I’m so excited when I see so many brothers’ rewards. I don’t have time to thank them one by one because I have to go to the fields right now. The combine harvester is coming to my house.  It's time to cut the wheat. Mom just called me. ?????????????????????????????????????? Seeing how hard I have worked, I ask everyone to collect it and vote for it.  When the wheat harvest is almost done tomorrow, I will have plenty of time to type.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 50: Recruitment Proclamation

    Time goes back to the headquarters of the Shenyang City Guard Brigade.  After Zhang Xinghan finished writing, he immediately ordered the guards to hand it over to the Shenyang newspaper office for copying and posting it all over the streets and alleys of Shenyang City.  At the same time, the communications company was ordered to work with Shenyang newspapers to immediately find a way to send this recruitment notice to newspapers in other major cities.  Each major domestic newspaper has its own contact information, so these are not a problem.  After writing the recruitment statement, Zhang Xinghan habitually took off his helmet and gun hanging on the wall, and strode out of the brigade headquarters.  With a squad of guards on board a military truck, Zhang Xinghan began to patrol the city as he did yesterday.  "Persisting in patrols every day has many benefits. Soldiers do not dare to be lazy or neglect their duties, and they can grasp the thoughts and emotions of the troops in a timely manner.  “After all, this army is the foundation for your survival in this troubled world, and you must keep it firmly in your hands without making any mistakes, otherwise you are likely to fall into a situation of no return.  At this time, the defense of Shenyang City was mainly responsible for the First Regiment. As mentioned earlier, the First Regiment was formed based on the 3rd Battalion and was Zhang Xinghan's direct confidant.  Using a group to defend Shenyang is naturally Zhang Xinghan's first choice.  Sitting in the passenger seat of the military truck, Zhang Xinghan looked at the scenes of people retreating on both sides of the road, lit a cigarette and started smoking with a frown.  As a historical prophet, he defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army with mental calculations and unpreparedness, and changed the humiliating history of September 18th.  But he could not predict what the subsequent historical process would be like.  In other words, as a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan’s greatest advantage, the prophet, has been lost.  Because what trajectory the wheel of history will take next, whether Japan will launch a full-scale war of aggression against China in advance, or wait until six years later, is full of uncertainty.  However, Zhang Xinghan is a little relieved that with his multi-functional watch, he may be able to create history.  Arriving at the east defense area of ????the city, Zhang Xinghan ordered the guards to stop the car, pushed the door open, walked out, and walked toward the top of the city.  Two guards stayed behind to guard the car, while the rest followed Zhang Xinghan without saying a word, faithfully fulfilling their mission of guarding.  Walking up the city ladder, Zhang Xinghan led the people to the city wall and vaguely heard a discussion.  "Squad leader, do you think we have got so many good guys at the brigade? Look at the engraved marks on this rifle. They are all foreign codes." A young recruit held a Garand rifle in his arms and pointed at him.  Niu Erzhu, who has been promoted to squad leader, asked.  "Yes, squad leader, we have never seen this gun before. It can shoot continuously until all the bullets in the magazine are exhausted. It is much more powerful than the little devil's 38 Dagaike." Another soldier followed suit.  He nodded in agreement.  Niu Erzhu frowned and shook his head to express that he didn't know.  The recruit was obviously curious and continued: "Squad leader, do you think this weapon was bought by Brigade? I heard that Brigade's family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Shenyang." "Maybe it came from the Shenyang arsenal, right?"  I heard that the guys in the Shenyang Arsenal are enough to equip an army of 100,000 people." Another recruit also followed.  "Go on, we are just soldiers, why do we care so much? We have military pay, food to eat, and Japanese to kill. We can protect our family and defend our country. Isn't that enough? Where did the brigade get the weapons and equipment?  "You still want to explain to us?" Although Niu Erzhu was also very curious, he couldn't help but scolded.  As a soldier, he knows that there are some things that can be left unasked. The less you know, the better.  The two recruits shut up angrily and were about to get up and return to their posts.  At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded in vain.  Hearing the sound, Niu Erzhu and the other two people turned around and saw Zhang Xinghan, the hostess, walking over with several burly guards, heads held high.  The three people quickly stood up and saluted, and Niu Erzhu even said hello: "Travel seat." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan saluted and said: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work." "It's not hard to protect your home and country." Niu Erzhu hurriedly said  Stand up and say.  Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and patted Niu Erzhu's shoulder to encourage him, and then walked forward.  Several guards followed him like a shadow and quickly followed.  Looking at Zhang Xinghan and others leaving, the two recruits breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear.  “The squad leader is right, ask what you should ask and don’t discuss what you shouldn’t.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?  Thinking about it, I feel relieved. After all, I??This batch of weapons and equipment arrived too suddenly and from unknown sources.  It is normal for the soldiers to be curious and talk about it. Guessing is just guessing. As Niu Erzhu said, as the commander of a brigade, there are some things that naturally do not need to be reported to the big soldiers like them.  Similarly, they did not dare to abruptly ask Shangfeng how they got the weapons in their hands.  Because soldiers are soldiers, and troops are troops. This place is different from other places. There is a strict hierarchy here, with seniority and youth orderly. Soldiers only need to fulfill their duties, and officers at all levels should perform their duties. No one will be stupid.  Don't ask him about things he shouldn't ask.  In fact, Zhang Xinghan has tried his best to restrain himself in order not to arouse too much speculation and suspicion when it comes to new weapons and equipment.  “Otherwise, he would not hesitate to replace Gao Zhihang’s Shenyang Air Force with more advanced German fighters.  Considering the above factors and the fact that the current fleet of fighter planes is still sufficient to cope with the current war situation, Zhang Xinghan decided to postpone the replacement of aircraft.  Wait until the time is right and you have enough strength to protect yourself.  After inspecting the city defense, Zhang Xinghan saw that it was already noon, sent a guard back to the brigade headquarters to make an announcement, and then took a military truck to go home.  After all, he has not been home for a long time, and after the September 18th Incident, it can be said that he has gone through a life and death battle. While he is free, it is time to go home and have a meal with his parents.  ……………………………… In the western suburbs of Beiping, a dormitory at Yanjing University.  Zhang Xinghua and several classmates are packing their belongings. They have all signed up. The school organized an action to join the army in response to Zhang Xinghan’s defense of Shenyang and Northeast China.  They will go north to Shenyang with more than a hundred passionate and patriotic students in the school to join the army and serve the country.  Zhang Xinghua was cleaning up his room when footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.  He looked up and saw Su Hanyun walking over wearing a cheongsam.  "Teacher Su? Why are you here?" "Hello, Teacher Su." Zhang Xinghua and several roommates spoke one after another.  Su Hanyun smiled and nodded, and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Classmate Xinghua, please come out, I have something to ask you." "Okay, wait a minute, I will come right away." Zhang Xinghua quickly packed the remaining clothes.  Inside the luggage bag, he quickly walked out.  Walking side by side with Su Hanyun for a while along the dormitory corridor, Zhang Xinghua asked curiously: "Teacher Su, what do you want from me?" "You also signed up to participate in the school's support for your brother, right?" Su Hanyun did not answer.  asked rhetorically.  "Yes, not to mention for the sake of national justice, if today's invaders brazenly launch a war, Shenyang is always in danger. My brother raises his troops to resist the Japanese, trying to defend Shenyang and the two elders in the family. As a brother, I should go back and fight side by side with him to fight against the Japanese.  ." Zhang Xinghua said.  After saying that, Zhang Xinghua suddenly asked: "What, Teacher Su, what's the matter with you?" Su Hanyun's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said softly: "I have decided, I am going to Shenyang to join the army." "What? You  Are you going to Shenyang too?" Zhang Xinghua was delighted when he heard this, and then quickly shook his head and said, "No, Shenyang is already the front line of border defense, and war may break out again at any time. It's too dangerous for you to go, so you can't go." "Your brother is right.  , once the war breaks out, all the Chinese people, regardless of age or sex, have the responsibility to defend the country and fight the war. Like you, I also have a passionate and sincere patriotic heart. When the national crisis hits, I will also do my part."  Su Hanyun said firmly.  "But, it's men who fight, and you women shouldn't get involved." Zhang Xinghua said anxiously.  "Hmph, Xinghua, you are also a new intellectual. Why do you still have this feudal idea of ??favoring boys over girls? Besides, wasn't the ancient Hua Mulan also a woman? Hua Mulan can join the army, so why can't I join the army?" Su Hanyun  He said deliberately angrily.  "Because, because I don't want you to get hurt" Zhang Xinghua blurted out in desperation.  Su Hanyun blushed, turned her head away, and said softly with a blushing face: "I don't care, I have to go to Shenyang. Besides, don't you still have me? You will protect me, right?" When saying this  , Su Hanyun had turned her head and looked at Zhang Xinghua tenderly.  " I have to admit that Su Hanyun still has a good impression of Zhang Xinghua at this moment. He is upright, kind, young and handsome, and comes from a well-off family, but he is never ostentatious and does not have the bad habits of those playboys.  Zhang Xinghua's heart moved, and he nodded quickly: "Well, I will protect you with all my strength. As long as I am here, I will not let you be hurt or wronged in the slightest."……… Since Zhang Xinghua’s recruitment notice was issued, this is still the case for students at Yenching University, let alone compatriots from other walks of life across the country.  Within just a few days, there was a trend of heading north to Shenyang, joining the army to kill the enemy, resisting Japan and saving the country.  Countless passionate young people and intellectuals bid farewell to their relatives in their hometown, Master Paoze, and embarked on the journey north to join the army.  Businessmen and gentlemen from all over the country generously donated money and materials to Zhang Xinghan’s Shenyang garrison.  Countless people of insight have sent letters of condolence to Zhang Xinghan and the garrison brigade.  PS: Tianhai Xiangyun, Hero of the Qin Dynasty, enigmayanxi, I will upset you if I argue again, Shuyou 120321180343541, Viagra 2013, Kuangqin, Laowang Arthur, jingang9595, Tianze Dragon King and other brothers and sisters for their continuous support and rewards, especially  In the blink of an eye, the Tianhai Alliance had more leaders, and they burst into tears of gratitude.  The last piece of wheat is harvested tonight, and this year’s busy farming season can be declared over. Starting tomorrow, Huben will resume two updates, and will immediately update the empire.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 51: Rapid Expansion (Part 1)

    On September 25, 2018, six days had passed since the September 18th Incident broke out.  Since Zhang Xinghan led his troops to defeat the main force of the Kwantung Army three days ago, the communications company of the commander of the garrison brigade located in the south of Shenyang City has received varying amounts of condolence letters from all over the country every day.  “These letters of condolence include those from contemporary celebrities and people with lofty ideals, as well as from workers, students, and military and political leaders.  Unsurprisingly, Zhang Xinghan did not read any of these letters of condolence, because in his opinion, these verbal condolences were far less tangible than those in material and monetary terms.  The most important thing is that Zhang Xinghan also knows that many of the people in these condolence letters are people who are seeking fame and reputation, and have all kinds of show mentality.  Of course, there are also people who simply express their sincere condolences, but Zhang Xinghan and his communications soldiers do not have the time to screen each letter one after another.  Because today’s Shenyang city has become the focus of the world’s attention, just this morning, a group of reporters from famous newspapers from Western powers and countries came to Shenyang.  In addition, there are already patriotic young people in the surrounding areas of Shenyang and the northeastern region. After learning about his recruitment notice, the passionate righteous green forest heroes rushed to Shenyang to sign up to join the army.  Zhang Xinghan was busy receiving foreign reporters, while others were busy recruiting new soldiers. The entire garrison brigade was busy.  Nearly twenty male and female reporters with yellow hair and blue eyes gathered in the lobby on the first floor of a government office building next to the Shenyang Defense Brigade.  They carried with them all the most advanced photographic equipment of this era, and they were gathering in twos and threes, talking intensively.  As the guard outside the door shouted: "Brigadier Zhang is here!" These foreign reporters, who were more or less proficient in Chinese, turned around and saw a young, handsome, tall and tall Chinese military officer, leading an adjutant with his head held high.  He strode over with his chest held high.  Zhang Xinghan wore white gloves, a light yellow colonel officer's uniform, and a pair of polished large leather shoes. His whole person was filled with an indescribable aura of heroism.  Walking up to the group of reporters, Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and greeted: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Xinghan. I have kept you waiting for a long time." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, the group of reporters suddenly felt like sharks smelling the smell of blood.  They gathered around Zhang Xinghan.  Major Guo Zhong, the commander of the security battalion who was following Zhang Xinghan, quickly stepped in front of Zhang Xinghan. He glanced at the foreign reporters with cold eyes and said coldly: "Please step back." More than a dozen reporters were arrested.  Guo Zhong was shocked by the strong murderous intent in his eyes. He stopped involuntarily and looked at each other.  Someone even whispered in English.  Zhang Xinghan patted Guo Zhong on the shoulder and motioned for him to get out of the way. He stepped forward and waved to everyone with a smile: "Don't be excited or nervous. My adjutant is doing it for safety reasons. Please don't take offense." "  Brigadier Zhang, can we ask you a few questions?" Among the crowd, a beautiful blond female reporter in her twenties asked tentatively in somewhat stiff Chinese.  "Of course." Zhang Xinghan said: "But don't fight for it. You can take turns to ask questions one after another. This way we won't waste all of our time. So, if you have anything to ask, please raise your hands."  A female reporter raised her hand first. After getting Zhang Xinghan’s nod in agreement, she asked: “Brigadier Zhang, how many troops did you have on hand when the September 18th Incident?” “I was in the National Revolutionary Army during the September 18th Incident.  The **7th Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is appointed as the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment, with a total of more than 700 people," Zhang Xinghan replied readily.  "Oh, when the incident broke out, how did you and your men repel the Japanese troops who attacked your Peking University camp?" the female reporter asked again.  "This is quite long and I won't be able to finish it in a while. Let me ask my adjutant to tell you the detailed battle process between us and the Japanese army later. Please ask some substantive questions as much as possible because I am quite busy with military affairs." Zhang Xinghan  road.  "OK." The female reporter nodded in understanding and continued: "Last question, Brigadier Zhang, when you and your men were surrounded by Japanese troops whose strength was several times greater than yours, did you ever feel scared? What happened to you?  How can you defeat the Japanese army, which is three times your number?" As soon as the female reporter said this, other reporters turned their attention to Zhang Xinghan, obviously looking forward to his answer.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghan's Chinese was amazing, and he nodded and said: "To be honest, when we were deeply surrounded and trapped in the isolated city, my subordinates and I had fears and fears." As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, all the reporters started talking.  Their expressions changed, and they looked at each other in confusion.  &nbsp; Zhang Xinghan didn’t care and continued: “Yes, we are all afraid, because we are also human beings and we are also afraid of death. I think no one in the world is willing to die, and no one lacks the desire for life. But, as a human being, we are also afraid of death.  Chinese people, we can only face death, because behind us are hundreds of thousands of compatriots in Shenyang. Among them are our wives, children, children, and our brothers and sisters. We have no way to retreat." Zhang Xinghan finished speaking in one breath.  The reporters were stunned for a moment, then came to their senses, and started applauding fiercely, led by the female reporter.  "As for why we can defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has three times the strength of ours, what I want to say is that we Chinese people have never been worse than the Japanese army, and we Chinese people are even more willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.  Warriors. When our motherland is invaded and our relatives are in danger, we are fearless and only want to protect our country. In this patriotic war, we will never surrender to the Japanese, even if we fight to the end.  One soldier and one soldier will never do it." Zhang Xinghan paused and said.  "Commander Zhang, if the Japanese launch an attack on Shenyang again, do you think you can create another miracle and defeat them?" Another reporter raised his hand and asked.  "My friend, I want to use your mouth to convey a message to Japan and even the world. As long as I, Zhang Xinghan, are here, the Japanese want to annex Northeast China and capture Shenyang. There is no way out. If they dare to invade again, I and I  Our soldiers will use the fiercest firepower to punish all invading enemies. Anyone who offends our country will die!" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.  ………………………………… After dealing with a bunch of reporters and ordering his subordinates to arrange accommodation for them, Zhang Xinghan led Guo Zhong towards a recruitment point in Shenyang City.  When Zhang Xinghan arrived at the recruitment office by car, he found that the entire recruitment office was already overcrowded, and there was even a long queue of people on the street.  Some excited young students were holding up the words "Join the army, serve the country, kill all the Japanese invaders, defend Shenyang, defend the Northeast" and other words in their hands, and kept waving them.  Zhang Xinghan was quite happy when he saw this. It seems that the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people is still quite high. It is a pity that Zhang Xiaoliu, as the local emperor of the three eastern provinces, has hundreds of thousands of troops and a base of 30 million people.  They did not dare to resist and handed over the great rivers and mountains to the Japanese.  It’s really puzzling. If the Northeast is lost, can Zhang Xiaoliu’s Northeast Army be able to hold on?  At this moment, Zhang Xinghan had a new understanding of Zhang Xiaoliu, that is, he was mentally retarded.  After ventriloquizing Zhang Xiaoliu again, Zhang Xinghan ordered to drive. He was going to the hospital to visit the injured soldiers. This was a good way to win people's hearts. How could Zhang Xinghan miss it.  ?????????Jinzhou, **7th Brigade Headquarters.  Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan walked into the brigade headquarters in a hurry, and saluted the brigade commander Wang Yizhe who had just returned from Peking: "Brigade commander, there have been too many students, young people and patriots coming from the pass these days. They all want to  Go to Shenyang to join the army, what do you think we should do? " "What else can we do? Xinghan is fighting alone in Shenyang. We are extremely ashamed that we cannot provide support. It is rare for these passionate people to have such enthusiasm for serving the country, so let them go."  Tao without thinking.  "I think so too." Zhao Zhenfan said with a bitter face: "But the hotel is hundreds of miles away from Shenyang. Now it is a time of war. The Japanese and bandits may appear at any time. I am afraid that these students will rashly  Going north, something unexpected will happen. They are all still young and intellectuals. It would be a pity if something went wrong on the way." Wang Yizhe pondered for a while and said, "In this case, Chief of Staff, please do it yourself.  Leading a battalion, escorting the students to Xinmin, and then notifying Zhang Xinghan to send someone to pick up the recruits is the greatest help we can do for them. " "Okay" Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement.  PS: I was told in the morning that a small piece of land was confiscated. I haven’t farmed for many years and I can’t even tell how much land I have. I’m so embarrassed.  In the evening, I coded another 7,000 words in Empire. Huben really didn’t dare to carelessly code. It took him an hour and a half to code out one chapter. Today, it’s considered an update of nearly 10,000 words. There will be no more updates. I’m really sorry. Tomorrow  Second update.  Finally, I would like to thank the Tianhai Alliance Leader, Little Sword Fairy 2, Hero of the Qin Dynasty, hhjjss and other brothers and sisters for their rewards and support. Thank you!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 52: Visiting the Wounded Soldiers

    In Xinmin City, more than ten military trucks drove into the east gate of Xinmin. After entering the city, there were already soldiers of the Xinmin garrison waiting for them.  The trucks stopped one after another, the doors opened, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers from the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army jumped out of the trucks.  The alert came. On the passenger seat of a truck in the middle, Zhao Zhenfan opened the door and got out. A major officer had already rushed over and saluted: "Take a seat." "Yes." Zhao Zhenfan returned the salute: "I am with the brigade  I have an order to protect a group of patriotic students who are preparing to join the army in Shenyang. Make arrangements and prepare some food for them. In addition, immediately notify the Shenyang authorities and send someone to Xinmin to pick them up. " "Yes," the major officer responded quickly.  , immediately turned around and left quickly.  At this time, about a hundred young male and female students were on several trucks behind Zhao Zhenfan. With the help of the soldiers, they got out of the trucks one after another and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with great curiosity.  Zhao Zhenfan walked over and said to the students headed by Su Hanyun and Zhang Xinghua: "Dear students, this is Xinmin City. Someone will arrange for you to eat and rest later. I have notified Shenyang Zhang Xinghan to send someone to pick you up. Please wait patiently.  "Oh, thank you sir." Zhang Xinghua was a little excited when he heard his elder brother's name and did not forget to thank him.  "Okay, Zhao is busy with military affairs, so I'll take my leave." Zhao Zhenfan saluted everyone with a military salute.  Zhang Xinghua and other students were startled, and subconsciously raised their hands to salute a less than standard military salute.  Zhao Zhenfan glanced meaningfully at these hundreds of passionate young people, then turned around and got in the car and left.  The war is ruthless. No one knows whether these young people can survive in future wars. Maybe they will all die on the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country. Maybe some of them will be lucky enough to survive and become a qualified Chinese soldier.  *people.  Thinking that we might never see each other again in the future, Zhao Zhenfan felt sad.  "Drive." Zhao Zhenfan ordered with determination, his eyes no longer looking at those young and heart-wrenching faces.  Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters.  Xiao Lizi, commander of the communications company, walked into the brigade war room with the message he had just received, but Zhang Xinghan was nowhere to be seen.  Looking around, Xiao Lizi turned around and retreated. He asked a guard outside the door: "Where is the hostel?" "I went out with Guo Yingzao." The guard replied.  "That's it." Xiao Lizi thought for a while and then said: "Inform your company commander immediately and ask him to take people to find the hotel. Just say that there is a call from Xinmin City and there are a group of students who need us to respond." "Yes." Xiao Lizi  He was once the second platoon leader of the security company. Naturally, the guards did not dare not listen to his words and ran outside immediately.  ??????????????????????????…??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The original Shenyang Military Hospital, has now been renamed the Shenyang Garrison Brigade Field Hospital.  There was a class of garrison brigade officers and soldiers standing guard outside the hospital. When Zhang Xinghan stepped out of the car, the soldiers standing guard quickly stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and took Guo Zhong straight into the hospital.  At this time, there were four to five hundred lightly or severely wounded soldiers from the city defense army in the field hospital. Due to the limited number of beds in the room, many of the lightly wounded soldiers were forced to make simple bunks under the hospital corridor.  In the Northeast, the weather in October is already very cold, especially at night. The temperature in Shenyang will drop sharply compared to the daytime. There are only a few broken straw mats and old cotton batting on the floor to sleep on, which is very difficult for the wounded soldiers.  , the pain can be imagined.  When Zhang Xinghan led Guo Zhong into the hospital corridor, a distressing scene came into view. The long corridors on both sides were crowded with wounded soldiers from the garrison brigade with ragged clothes and haggard faces.  The gauze on many of their bodies was still bleeding out, dyeing the gauze into eye-catching red masses.  And when the wounded soldiers accidentally saw Zhang Xinghan arriving, almost as a conditioned reflex, hundreds of wounded soldiers struggled to help each other and stood up, regardless of their injuries.  Immediately, they all raised the hand that was shaking just from pulling on the wound and saluted their commander with a military salute.  Among them was a wounded soldier whose ankle was blown off. He gritted his teeth and held on to the wall as he climbed up with difficulty.  Zhang Xinghan felt a sore nose and walked over quickly. At this time, the wounded soldier with a broken foot was already struggling to stand up against the wall.  The already pale face looked even paler due to the severe pain, without a trace of blood, but when he saw Zhang Xinghan coming to him, a trace of excitement still flashed in his eyes.  "Brigade seat!" The wounded soldier with a broken foot stood up and saluted in vain.  "Good brother." Zhang Xinghan quickly supported him.  When the wounded soldier with a broken foot heard this, his eyes suddenly became sore, and the pain of the broken foot was gone.The tears that he couldn't stop flowing out flowed out like spring water at this moment.  "BrigadeBrigadeI didn't embarrass our old 3rd Battalion, and I didn't embarrass our ** people" The wounded soldier with a broken foot was originally a veteran of the 3rd Battalion, so he was like this when he saw Zhang Xinghan arriving.  He was so excited that he stood up and saluted his superiors despite the pain of his broken leg.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  As a soldier, an iron-blooded veteran, he is not afraid of death, bloodshed or injury. What he is afraid of is that he will be far away from the stage that belongs only to him - the battlefield.  He is deeply afraid that after leaving the army, he will be forgotten and will be at a loss.  As a professional soldier, Zhang Xinghan may have guessed what the veteran was thinking. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't be sad. Recuperate well. After you recover, I will transfer you to the cavalry company, mount the war horse, pick up the  Sword, you can still fight the enemy and serve the country. You will always be my soldier." The veteran looked up at Zhang Xinghan with tears on his face and said in disbelief: "Really?"  "Thank you, sir!" The veteran smiled through tears like a child, crying tears of excitement while laughing.  Infected by the veterans, many young recruits could not help but choke softly and shed tears silently.  They are different from veterans. They have heart palpitations for the rest of their lives, and they also have grievances that cannot be vented when faced with the threat of death.  At this moment, when they see Zhang Xinghan, they are like lost children seeing their relatives. They feel too many grievances and too many fears.  After all, they are still a group of young and heart-wrenching children, ten or twenty years old. At this age in future generations, they will still study comfortably under the care of their parents and family, and live a carefree life.  But they have to carry guns and bayonets to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending their homeland. They may not have even killed a chicken in ordinary times, but they have to witness with their own eyes every compatriot and the Japanese invaders on the extremely tragic battlefield.  Fight to the death.  When you see the blood staining the ground red and corpses strewn everywhere, when you see your compatriots and comrades who were still alive and kicking before the expedition, they have turned into cold corpses.  How much shock and fear will arise in their hearts?  Especially now that they are injured again and need to endure the constant pain and torture alone, spending the cold and silent night alone, without the care and love of their relatives, the loneliness in their hearts is conceivable.  At this moment, Zhang Xinghan arrived. The commander, who they usually respected so much, came to see them personally and called them brothers affectionately.  The grievances and fears they had accumulated for many days were vented at this moment.  "Brothers, don't cry or shed tears. I know how you feel in your heart at this moment. However, in troubled times, there are many things that we can't do anything about. Think about it, as a soldier, as a man with eggs, as a motherland  When we are invaded and the nation is destroyed, who will? Are we going to let our wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters fight against the Japanese? " Zhang Xinghan paused and said meaningfully: "Brother?  Hey guys, I’m here today just to tell you what’s in my heart. To be honest, if the Japanese devils hadn’t started this damn war, then my life would definitely be safe and happy, because I have a person whom I love deeply.  My fiancée, kind-hearted parents, my family is a well-known businessman in Shenyang, and my family is relatively well-off. However, I decided to sign up to join the army. Why, because I couldn't bear to sit back and watch the country perish. After all, a country only has a family, and the country is ruined.  , Why talk about family? In fact, every time I go home to see my parents and relatives, I feel like I want to cry for the rest of my life, but I know that I can’t cry, because I know that I am my parents and their relatives.  The backbone of our family is the backbone of our family. I want to tell them with my actions that even if the sky falls, my son will help them carry it on his shoulders. My parents are getting older, and I am their entire spiritual support at home, so I can't  Cry. Therefore, brothers, you must remember that we can bleed, be injured, and even die, but we must not shed tears, because our people and our relatives are watching us, because we are China.  *** people, our 400 million compatriots need our protection, because we are the backbone of this country and this nation. We must use our actions to tell the people that the sky is falling, but we soldiers are here, and the Japanese are coming.  , we soldiers are there to support us!" The wounded soldiers present gradually became quiet after hearing this. Everyone stopped crying, wiped away their tears, and looked at them firmly.They looked at their seats in awe, and at this moment, hope and fighting spirit were rekindled in their hearts.  "Adjutant Guo!" Zhang Xinghan turned his head and shouted.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong stepped forward and said.  "Immediately send someone to the Zhang family's house in the east of the city and ask my father to buy beds and bedding immediately. Just as I said, I can't let my men sleep on the ground to recuperate." Zhang Xinghan ordered in a deep voice.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded loudly, then turned around and walked out as ordered.  "Brothers, take good care of your injuries. My comrades and I are waiting for you to return to the team, waiting for you to fight side by side and join hands to kill the enemy!" Zhang Xinghan saluted and said, "Okay, I still have military affairs to take care of. Come back when I have time.  Look at you." "Brigade, walk slowly!" All the wounded soldiers stood up and saluted, saying sincerely.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 53: Recruiting Six Thousand Soldiers

    Zhang Xinghan Xinghan walked out of the hospital, but Guo Zhong came over in a hurry: "Brigade seat, news just came from the brigade headquarters. There is a group of students from Peking who want to join our garrison brigade. **The seventh brigade has already  They were escorted to Xinmin. In order to prevent any accidents, they asked us to send someone over to take care of them. "Students? Are they all college students?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "This is not clearly stated, but it should be." Guo Zhong said uncertainly.  "It just so happens that our army is short of educated people now. Let's do this. You go and notify the cavalry company to assemble immediately, and send six more military trucks. I will personally take them to recruit new soldiers." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Sir, do you want to lead the team yourself?" Guo Zhong was a little confused.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "I am planning to go out of the city to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain in the past two days. I brought these students here today to show that my garrison brigade attaches great importance to them." "Yes.  , I will make arrangements right away." Guo Zhong stood up suddenly.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  The Japanese soldiers didn't bother to wipe their noses, and looked at the warships entering the port one after another.  That is a Japanese warship, an invincible warship of their Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  As warships entered the port one after another, the Japanese soldiers could clearly see that the decks of the warships were filled with fully armed imperial soldiers, and their helmets reflected a dull light under the sunlight.  The bayonets on the rifles formed a dense forest of bayonets. The cold light flickered and a chilling air spread invisible.  As the landing ships docked one after another, groups of fully armed Imperial Army soldiers carried rifles, grenade launchers, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns on their backs, and disembarked in unison.  After landing, they quickly lined up in the predetermined area under the leadership of their respective commanders.  The whole process was orderly and orderly, showing the military quality of these imperial troops everywhere.  Following the infantry ashore were Imperial tanks and armored fighting vehicles painted with sun flags, as well as mountain guns and field guns.  ????????…………………… In Xinmin City, Zhang Xinghua and other students had a quick bite in the garrison barracks, and then were led by the garrison major to the north gate to wait.  Because the major has just received a reply from Shenyang, someone will be sent to take them into Shenyang immediately.  On the top of the city, the north wind was so strong that it made people's cheeks hurt. Zhang Xinghua looked sideways and saw Su Hanyun and several female classmates looking at the northeastern land in the distance, discussing something excitedly. Su Hanyun may have noticed Zhang Xinghua's gaze and turned her head.  She looked at him, raised her hand to brush her hair that was a little messy in the wind, and smiled at Zhang Xinghua.  Zhang Xinghua smiled slightly and nodded, then immediately withdrew his gaze and looked towards the north outside the city.  The sky is clear and the clouds are clear across the vast northeastern plain. Zhang Xinghua can't help but get excited thinking about returning home and seeing his parents and eldest brother.  Suddenly, Zhang Xinghua discovered that some small black spots appeared on the distant horizon.  He quickly opened his eyes. At this time, the defender major on the side raised his binoculars, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's the cavalry. It seems that the people from the garrison brigade are coming." Zhang Xinghua did not speak, but tried his best to look.  Go, as the distance got closer, he could clearly see that it was a group of cavalry wearing blue military uniforms.  They were carrying steel guns on their backs, with stern expressions on their faces, and were galloping towards them on horseback.  Standing on the top of the city, Zhang Xinghua could vaguely feel the shocking roar.  Outside the city, Zhang Xinghan held the reins with one hand and raised his whip with the other, whipping the war horse from time to time: "Drive!" The war horse was in pain and kept speeding up, followed closely by more than 70 cavalrymen who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives, and hundreds of them.  The hooves of the horses galloped at the same time. Wherever they passed, grass clippings flew and the ground rumbled.  Behind them, six military trucks were also driving at full speed.  But in this era without highways made of reinforced concrete and asphalt, especially on this endless plain of grassland.  The speed of military trucks at this time is far less than that of galloping war horses.  On the top of the city, watching the cavalry approaching, the garrison major said: "I will go to greet them, and the students will wait at the top of the city first." After that, he led an orderly and walked straight to the bottom of the city.  Not long after, Zhang Xinghan led more than 70 cavalrymen and galloped over like wind and clouds.  When he reached the bottom of the city, Zhang Xinghan suddenly pulled the reins, and the war horse let out a mournful cry. He stood up with his front hooves raised high. He saw Su Han on top of the city, including Su Han.Yun and other students were frightened inwardly.  "Hey!" Zhang Xinghan reined in his horse with his superb riding skills, turned sideways and shouted towards the top of the city: "I, Zhang Xinghan, the colonel commander of the Shenyang Guard Brigade, are here to meet the students from Peiping. Please open the city gate quickly."  Su Hanyun and other girls saw Zhang Xinghan so handsome and young, riding a war horse and leading his men, and they began to feel dissatisfied.  This is a real man, a real soldier.  "Brother!" Zhang Xinghua suddenly shouted excitedly.  Su Hanyun was shocked when she heard that he was Xinghua’s eldest brother?  Zhang Xinghan?  Su Hanyun looked at Zhang Xinghan again with complicated eyes.  Zhang Xinghan heard someone shouting again on the top of the city. He looked up and took a closer look, and immediately raised his riding whip: "Xinghua! Why are you here? Haha, come down quickly." "Hey!" Zhang Xinghua was so excited that he turned around and ran down to the city.  At this time, the city gate had been opened, and the garrison major and the orderlies trotted out to welcome them.  Arriving in front of Zhang Xinghan's horse, he stood upright and saluted, saying: "I don't know that your superior is coming in person. I am humbled by my humble position to welcome you from afar. Please don't blame me, sir!"  Why is it so strange?" "Brother!" Zhang Xinghua ran out of the city cave excitedly.  “You brat, why didn’t you write a letter to tell your family when you came back?” After the two brothers hugged, Zhang Xinghan hammered Zhang Xinghua’s chest and scolded.  "Hey, I was in a hurry from school and didn't have time. No, I just wanted to go home and give our parents a surprise." Zhang Xinghua said with a naive smile.  "By the way, aren't you studying in Yanjing? Why are you coming back at this time? Aren't you going to delay your studies?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "There is a national crisis. In order to respond to your call to recruit troops, our school has specially mobilized our students to abandon their writing and join the army to serve the country. Didn't you say, brother, that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Now that the nation is in crisis, we men should put the country and the nation first.  As for my studies, it won’t be too late for me to go back and continue my studies after the Japanese are defeated.” Zhang Xinghua said seriously.  "Okay, well said. It seems that your stay in Yanjing these past few years has not been in vain. From today on, we will follow my eldest brother, and we brothers will join hands to fight against the enemy and defend our country." Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded happily.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  In the compartment of a military truck, a female student smiled and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Classmate Xinghua, your eldest brother is so majestic." "Of course, my eldest brother has been in the army for four or five years and followed the young marshal to fight against Russia.  "When the September 18th Incident broke out, he had already been promoted to lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the 7th Brigade of the People's Liberation Army for his merit," Zhang Xinghua said proudly.  "By the way, classmate Xinghua, how old is your eldest brother this year?" the female student asked with some gossip.  "My eldest brother is three years older than me. He was born in the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907) and is now twenty-four years old." Zhang Xinghua answered without thinking.  "Twenty-four years old? Didn't he join the army when he was nineteen?" Everyone, including the female students, was slightly surprised.  "Well, my eldest brother decided to sign up to join the army after finishing middle school." Zhang Xinghua nodded.  "Then is your eldest brother married?" The female student expressed the sentiments of many female students, including Su Hanyun.  "No." Zhang Xinghua shook his head and suddenly said: "However, the eldest brother already has a fiancée, who is the beloved daughter of General Wang Yizhe, commander of the 7th Brigade of the **, Wang Ruoying." "Oh." Including the female student who asked the question  Inside, the other female students looked a little disappointed when they heard this.  "Oh, Song Shan, why are you asking these questions? The country is in trouble now. We came to Shenyang to join the army to serve the country and do our part for the country." Su Hanyun felt something was wrong, pushed the female student and said angrily  .  "I'm not curious," the student named Song Shan said with a blush.  "Those in the car are almost here. Get ready to get out of the car." At this time, the soldier's reminder came from the cab.  "Oh, I understand." Zhang Xinghua was a little embarrassed and quickly turned his head to respond.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan had already led the cavalry back to the garrison brigade headquarters.  As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Wang Yicai, Liu Jianguo and others waiting at the door.  Turning over and dismounting, Zhang Xinghan handed the reins to the guard, walked over and asked: "Jianguo, Yicai, why are you all here? How is the recruitment of new soldiers?" Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai and others quickly came forward and saluted: "Basically,  That’s almost it. The number of young adults that can be recruited in Shenyang City in the past few days has exceededWe recruited soldiers from the city and surrounding villages, totaling more than 6,000 people.  " "Oh, that's good, let's go in and discuss how to expand the army.  Zhang Xinghan said as he took the lead and walked towards the headquarters. Liu Jianguo and others responded, followed closely, and walked in.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 54: Rapid Expansion (Part 2)

    Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo and others walked into the headquarters' meeting and war room one after another, and everyone sat around the table.  The orderlies had already poured tea for everyone. Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and blew out the smoke: "Tell me, do you have any good suggestions for the arrangement of these six thousand recruits?" "Brigade, we are currently on guard.  At least one third of the 5,000 troops in the brigade are new recruits. Although they have experienced blood in the Shenyang defense battle a few days ago, it will still take some time to become qualified veterans.  Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of our troops remains at a relatively reasonable level, and we have relatively advanced weapons and equipment, so the new recruits will have little impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the troops. However, if another 6,000 new recruits are suddenly added, it will be.  The combat effectiveness of the troops will decline sharply, and even half of our current combat effectiveness will not be maintained." Liu Jianguo was the first to express his opinion.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded. Liu Jianguo's analysis did make sense.  "Brigade, Lao Liu is right. If it were in peacetime, we would have no problem. We could disperse the veterans into various units and train them slowly. However, we are now at a critical juncture in wartime. The Japanese army may come back at any time. At this time  Replenishing six thousand new soldiers will do more harm than good to the army's combat effectiveness," Wang Yicai followed up with analysis.  "Then what good ideas do you have? The troops still need to be expanded, because if we want to defend Shenyang, our current military strength alone cannot last for a while, but not for a lifetime, so we must expand our troops." Zhang Xinghan frowned.  Everyone fell into deep thought and whispered discussions.  At this time, Gao Zhihang, who had never spoken before, suddenly spoke: "Sir, I have a suggestion. Do you think it will work?" "Brother Ziheng, please tell me." Zhang Xinghan still respected Gao Zhihang and hurriedly raised his hands.  road.  "Both Commander Liu and Commander Wang made the right analysis just now. Since it is not convenient to expand these 6,000 recruits into each regiment and camp at the moment, can we form a separate unit of these 6,000 recruits for regular training?  , Of course the designation is temporary." Seeing no one objected, Gao Zhihang continued: "These six thousand recruits can be temporarily organized into second-line reserve troops. They can be trained in peacetime and can be used for transportation, rescuing the wounded, building fortifications and other logistical tasks during wartime. In this way,  As a result, we don’t have to take the risk of mobilizing so many civilians to help us with logistics work. As for the training of new recruits, I think it can be left to the wounded and disabled soldiers, or the wounded soldiers who have not yet recovered and returned to the army. They have rich battlefield experience.  , and have experienced the test of life and death, it is most suitable for them to train new recruits. Of course, in order to improve the training efficiency of new recruits and enable them to form an army as soon as possible, some grassroots officers should also be transferred from the previous front-line units to serve as military officers to work with them.  The wounded soldiers train together to train the new recruits. As for the weapons and equipment needed for the training of the new recruits, don’t they have a lot of them in the warehouse of the Shenyang Arsenal? We also have the equipment that we have changed. I think the new recruits can shoot freely, no.  Only by sparing bullets and giving the recruits more opportunities to shoot can they improve their shooting skills as quickly as possible." After Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately thought of the hundreds of wounded soldiers in the hospital. Although they were all injured and could not go to the battlefield for the time being.  However, there is no problem in helping train new recruits, and Gao Zhihang is right. These wounded soldiers have experienced the baptism of war and the test of life and death, and their fighting will and experience are much stronger than those so-called instructors.  Because they are the real military instructors. ??????????????????????? Shenyang Arsenal has stocked up so many guns, ammunition and weapons, and they keep them lying around, so they are really used to the best of their ability to train new recruits.  "Okay, Brother Zi Heng's suggestion is very good." With the decision in his mind, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but praise him with joy.  "You've won the prize, actually, I just thought of it accidentally." Gao Zhihang smiled modestly, and then suddenly said seriously: "But Master, Zi Heng has a request, and I hope you can agree to it." "You can say it, but don't say it.  One request is ten or a hundred, and I will try my best to satisfy you." Zhang Xinghan thought that Gao Zhihang would make a request about fighter jets, and he was confident.  "Please, Brigadier, allow me to select a group of knowledgeable patriotic young people from this group of recruits. I want to train as many pilots as possible for our garrison brigade." Gao Zhihang said bitterly.  Zhang Xinghan was startled, then his heart was filled with emotion, and he said: "No problem, before reorganizing the troops, you choose first. Anyone who you think can be made can be taken away." As a modern soldier, no one  Zhang Xinghan knows better than Zhang Xinghan how important the role of the Air Force is in modern warfare.  It is no exaggeration to say that in a battle, air superiority largely represents victory.? and failure.  Seizing air superiority means winning, and vice versa.  "Compared with the entire Japan, the air force in my hands is still too weak. After all, the Northeast Lecture Hall has been closed.  If a large number of active pilots are killed in action, there will be a gap in aviation talent, and the consequences will be disastrous.  The reason why Gao Zhihang looked bitter and helpless was probably because of this aspect.  Moved by Gao Zhihang’s dedication to serving the country, Zhang Xinghan immediately agreed without hesitation.  After thinking for a while, Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "By the way, brother Zi Heng, my brother Zhang Xinghua and more than a hundred of his alumni have just arrived in Shenyang from Peking. They are all college students of Yenching University and are considered to be high-level talents. You  I'll go back and see if there are any qualified candidates." "Okay, all the officers and men of the Air Force, thank you very much." Gao Zhihang stood up and saluted.  "Brother Ziheng is also thinking about the long-term plan for the anti-Japanese war for the country and the nation, so there is no need to thank me." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said.  "Okay, if there is nothing else, let's all adjourn the meeting. Jianguo, I will leave it to you to organize the new recruits. As for the numbers of the new recruits, they are called Shenyang Reserve Regiment, divided into three regiments. The temporary commander  You two, battalion commanders, can discuss this and send people from each battalion." Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo and others all stood up and responded in unison.  At this moment, Xiao Lizi, the commander of the communications company, suddenly ran in with a hurried expression. Before he could salute, he said to Zhang Xinghan: "Brigade, I'm sorry, I just received news that the Japanese have once again assembled the strength of three divisions.  , have arrived in Lushun one after another, and may launch another attack on Shenyang soon. " "What?" Everyone, including Zhang Xinghua, changed their expressions after hearing this. Zhang Xinghan was surprised. He did not expect the Japanese to be ready for revenge so quickly.  , and it turned out that three divisions were mobilized at once, such a big move.  “Is Japan completely controlled by militarism?  Unable to think about this, Zhang Xinghan asked, "Where did you get this news? Is it accurate?" "It came from a strange radio station. It even indicated the strength and time of the Japanese army's gathering." Xiao Lizi said.  "Strange radio station?" Zhang Xinghan wondered, who could send him a reminder?  Military rule?  No, military unification has not been established yet.  Zhang Xueliang’s Northeastern Army spy?  This is even more impossible.  "Sir, I think that regardless of whether the content of this message is true or false, we'd better prepare for the battle in advance and take precautions." Liu Jianguo suggested when he saw Zhang Xinghan was silent in thought.  "Well, with the Japanese people's vengeful character, after suffering such a big loss, they can't just swallow it and be willing to suffer losses, so I would rather believe what they have than what they don't have." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Pass my order, Second Regiment  Immediately stationed in Sujiatun, built field defenses along the railway station, dug more bomb-proof holes and air-raid shelters, and at the same time mobilized the people to help demolish as many railways as possible along the Sujiatun to South-South Manchuria Railway, and blow up all bridges and other transportation  "In addition, the third regiment immediately strengthened the fortifications in the South Canal and the south of the city and built a second line of defense. The cavalry company and the first regiment immediately left the city and dispersed to the countryside, especially in the areas east of Shenyang, to mobilize the people in the rural villages.  Carry all the food to move to Shenyang, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and fight the scorched earth. "The guard camp strengthened security patrols in the city to prevent lurking Japanese agents from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.  "    "yes!  "Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, Liu Guodong and others responded at the same time, and immediately took the order and left. "Brigade seat, I will go back first.  "Gaozhi Channel. "Well, Brother Ziheng can send out more reconnaissance planes in the past few days to detect the movements of the Kwantung Army eastward. If there is anything abnormal, please report it to Xinghan immediately.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "Yes.  "Gao Zhihang stood up to salute and was ordered to leave. After everyone was ordered to leave, Zhang Xinghan paced and pondered for a while, and said: "Little Lizi, you immediately give the Heihe Security Commander and Third Infantry Brigade Commander General Ma Zhanshan in my name.  To generate electricity, Shenyang is in crisis. General Ma is requested to put national justice first and speed up the Heilongjiang Cavalry troops to Shenyang for reinforcements. Our garrison brigade will be responsible for providing weapons and ammunition to all the troops.  " "At the same time, send a message to General Li Du, deputy commander of the Jilin Border Defense, asking him to put the country first and dispatch troops to assist as soon as possible. All ammunition and weapons for the reinforcements will be provided by our garrison brigade.  "    "yes!  "Xiao Lizi accepted the order happily. After saluting, he turned around and left. PS: The second update is here. The recommendation vote has always been Qiu Feng's flaw. Please beg me.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 55: Letter to Compatriots in the Northeast

    (First of all, this is a big chapter, and it involves a lot of knowledge. To be honest, it took four hours to write.) Because he was worried that Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and other Northeast Army generals would not come for reinforcements, Zhang Xinghan thought about it and decided to write it.  A letter to the compatriots in the Northeast said, "We have recently learned that the Japanese invaders are determined to attack Shenyang and have gathered a large number of troops to attack Shenyang. The Han Dynasty is afraid of insufficient troops. We hereby call on all our friendly and brother troops in the three northeastern provinces to put the nation and the country first and do not be afraid.  Sacrifice, lead the troops to Shen, I will lead all the soldiers to join hands with all my colleagues to fight against the enemy, and vow to fight the Japanese aggressors at the foot of Shenyang City. At this time of serious situation, when our soldiers are serving on the battlefield, I hope that my father, my children, and my country will be remembered.  When he was dying, he was about to be killed. We united and fought against the national calamity. We shared the same hatred and had no hesitation. Zhang Xinghan, the colonel of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, begged him in tears. " Zhang Xinghan wrote.  While writing a letter to compatriots from Northeast China, I was outside the gate of a courtyard in the north of Shenyang.  A young woman wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, black breeches, and high-heeled leather shoes held a parasol and looked around to find the entrance of this courtyard house.  After looking at the house number, the woman stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door of the courtyard three times.  "Dong dong dong" Not long after three knocks on the door, a man's voice came from the yard: "Who is it?" "Hello, is this Dr. Cao's house?" The woman followed the prepared password.  asked.  "Doctor Cao? Are you here to see the veterinarian?" The voice in the hospital came again.  "No, I just came to see Dr. Cao. I heard that Dr. Cao has excellent medical skills in Fengtian City. My brother occasionally gets strange illnesses. I came here to ask Dr. Cao to come home with me to treat my brother." The woman said calmly.  "What disease does my brother have?" the man in the hospital said tepidly.  "There are red spots all over the body. I don't know any medical skills, so I can't tell what the disease is." The woman looked around and made sure that everything was fine before continuing.  At this time, the far door creaked open, and a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing Confucian attire, boat shoes, combed hair, and glasses, came out.  "Are you Comrade Su Hanyun?" the middle-aged man looked at Su Hanyun and asked.  "Well, are you Comrade Cao Xingwen?" Su Hanyun also looked at the contact person in front of her and said.  "It's me, Comrade Su, come in quickly." Cao Xingwen glanced outside very warily, quickly stepped aside and said with solemn hands.  Su Hanyun put away the paper umbrella and walked in.  After following Cao Xingwen into the main room, Cao Xingwen greeted her and said: "Comrade Hanyun, please sit down quickly, I will pour you some water." "Comrade Cao Xingwen, thank you I'm not thirsty, let's talk about business." Su Hanyun sat down and stood up again.  .  "Well, okay." Cao Xingwen poured a glass of water for Su Hanyun, sat opposite her, and said, "Comrade Hanyun, everything went well on the road?" "Well, everything went well, thanks to the **7th Brigade and Shenyang  The garrison brigade will escort you along the way." Su Hanyun nodded.  "General Wang Yizhe and Zhang Xinghan are both lovers, so it is reasonable for them to do this." Cao Xingwen said.  "Comrade Cao Xingwen, when I left Yanjing, Director Cao once said to me that when I come to Shenyang to find you, you will naturally tell me the tasks assigned to me by the organization. Has the organization assigned me tasks?" Su Hanyun asked straight to the point.  road.  "Come down." Cao Xingwen said as he stood up, walked towards the back room, came back with a secret message, handed it to Su Hanyun and said: "Comrade Hanyun, the task assigned to you by the organization is to ask you to act as a patriotic young student.  identity, join the garrison brigade, it is best to join the command center of the garrison brigade, so that you can start your work. Remember that your task is to mobilize as much as possible to win over the garrison brigade commander and the commanders of each regiment, even if you cannot absorb them  To our party, we must also develop them into comrades who have a close relationship with our party and our army, so as to facilitate the future development and activities of our Northeast Revolutionary Army." "Well, please rest assured that Su Hanyun will go all out to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization.  The task." Su Hanyun stood up quickly and stood upright.  "Comrade Hanyun, your work ability has been fully recognized by your superiors after several years of training in Yanjing. You sit down first. I have some things to explain." Cao Xingwen waved his hand.  Su Hanyun nodded and sat down as instructed. Cao Xingwen said, "I heard that you are very close to Zhang Xinghan's brother?" A blush flashed across Su Hanyun's cheeks and she nodded in acknowledgement.  "This is a good breakthrough. This person has high utilization value. You can work on him first and try to develop him into one of ours. This will be more conducive to your future work." Cao Xingwen's eyes flashed with cunning  His eyes said.  &nbsp; Su Hanyun frowned and was silent for a while before nodding reluctantly.  "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back quickly. The Japanese have assembled heavy troops again and will attack Shenyang soon. Everyone in the garrison brigade should be very busy now. At this time, it is the last time to break into the garrison brigade.  Good time." Cao Xingwen stood up and said.  "What, the Japanese army will attack Shenyang soon? Does Zhang Xinghan know? Have you made preparations in advance?" Su Hanyun felt worried for no reason and asked anxiously.  "Don't worry, the organization has ordered me to anonymously inform Zhang Xinghan of this information. Now he should have started to prepare for resistance." Cao Xingwen said with a determined smile.  ?????……………………………… Because Zhang Xinghan defeated the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in Shenyang, the situation in Northeast China at this time was completely different from that in history.  In history, at this time, the Japanese army should have broken through Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, and swept most of the cities and strategic locations in Liaoji and Jilin provinces.  And due to the emergency of the Kwantung Army in the direction of Shenyang, the Japanese army was forced to give up the attack on Changchun and other places. As Zhang Xinghan led the city defense army to achieve an unprecedented victory in the defense of Shenyang.  The Japanese Kwantung Army’s attacks on various parts of Jilin have no choice but to end. So far, the areas occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army are only the towns along the Nanman-Manchuria Railway in eastern Liaoning, the towns along the Southwest Manchuria Railway from Shenyang to Siping, and coastal counties such as Yingkou.  The vast area in the north and south of Shenyang has not yet fallen.  As for the vast provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin, they are still in the hands of the Northeastern Army’s Provincial Defense Force and some cavalry units.  In the 18th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang led the Northeastern Army to change its flag and submit to the central government in Nanjing. After that, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were reorganized into the Northeastern Frontier Defense Force and the Provincial Defense Force.  The Border Defense Force is the elite main force of the Northeast Army. The Provincial Defense Force is somewhat similar to the second-line reserve force and is directly under the jurisdiction of each provincial government. The establishment of the Provincial Defense Force is slightly different from that of the regular front-line border defense force.  Like the main infantry brigades, the cavalry units of the Border Guards are all organized into brigade-level units, while the cavalry units of the Provincial Defense Force are organized into cavalry regiment units.  Due to the special terrain of the western Liaoning Plain, the provincial defense forces deployed by Zhang Xueliang in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces were mostly cavalry units.  Because of the Central Plains War in the 19th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang led more than 100,000 elite troops from the Northeast Army to enter the Pass to support Chiang Kai-shek. Later, because of the crusade against Shi Yousan to seize North China, he mobilized tens of thousands of elite border troops to enter the Pass.  Therefore, there are basically no front-line troops stationed in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, except for the infantry 3rd brigade of Ma Zhanshan, commander of the Heihe garrison and commander-in-chief of the cavalry of Heilongjiang Province, and the infantry of Yilan garrison envoy and deputy commander of Jilin City Defense Li Du.  Outside the 24th Brigade, they are all Provincial Defense Force troops.  Several front-line border defense infantry brigades in Liaoning, the 19th Infantry Brigade, the 20th Infantry Brigade, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, have all withdrawn from Tongliao and Taonan to the Jinzhou area under Zhang Xueliang's order.  As for the garrison envoys of Dongbian Road in eastern Liaoning Province, Yu Zhishan, and the garrison envoys of Taonan, Zhang Haipeng, they were not directly related to Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast Army, and they were at odds with Zhang Xueliang, after the September 18th Incident broke out.  Both of them have defected to the Japanese one after another.  It was precisely because the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang had not yet fallen, and tens of thousands of provincial defense troops still existed, that Zhang Xinghan thought of sending a message to Ma Zhanshan and Li Du, two famous anti-Japanese patriotic generals in history, asking for help, asking them to lead their troops to sink the country.  Only by concentrating enough troops can they have the capital to fight the Japanese reinforcements, and only then can they perform another miracle and win the second battle to defend Shenyang.  However, what Zhang Xinghan did not expect was that the situation in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces was already changing, and chaos was imminent.  Especially in Jilin, because Jilin Province City Defense Commander Zhang Zuoxiang is attending a funeral in his hometown at the moment, the military power of the City Defense Command has completely fallen into the hands of his Chief of Staff Xi Qia.  At this time, the commander of the 27th Brigade of the Provincial Defense Force stationed in Changchun, Jixing, was like Xiqia, a Manchu evildoer, and Jixing was a descendant of the royal family.  If the Kwantung Army hadn't broken their swords and sunk in the sand under Shenyang City, forcing them to terminate their march to Changchun, Xiqia and Jixing, two remnants of the former Qing Dynasty and famous traitors in history, would have surrendered to the Japanese army long ago and handed over Jilin.  Give in.  Li Du, deputy commander of city defense, and his 24th Brigade were stationed in Yilan, north of Harbin, and were beyond the reach of the Jilin Provincial Defense Force.  At noon, in Yilan County, west of Jiamusi, Yilan guards the ambassador's office.  General Li Du sat on a chair, frowning tightly as he looked at a piece of telegram brought by his adjutant.  This message is an urgent request for help sent from Shenyang by Zhang Xinghan.  Li Du read the contents of the message with a solemn expression. He stood up and walked to the door. He looked at the southern sky and sighed: "The 27th Brigade and the Jilin Provincial Defense Force are both under the command and control of the Chief of Staff of Xiqia."?, if they are determined to support Shenyang, the cavalry can go south along the North-Manchuria Railway and can arrive within two days, but now there has been no movement, which is really worrying.  " "Brigade, these two royalists, Xiqia and Jixing, are remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now that the invaders are pressing heavily on the territory, they may have been ready to rebel long ago and are preparing to surrender. The Japanese are betraying their country and seeking glory.  How could it be possible to reinforce Shenyang?  "Deputy brigade commander Zhao Zhenhe said immediately. "I don't know what the attitude of Li Guilin's department and Mu Dechun's 10th Army Artillery Regiment is.  "Li Du said worriedly. "They are all within the jurisdiction of Chief of Staff Xi, and Commander Zhang is not here. I estimate that if Xi Qia is determined to surrender to the enemy, he will definitely pull them in."  " Zhao Zhenhe analyzed. "Alas, in the midst of a national crisis, Commander Zhang was not in the provincial capital, and he handed over military power to Xiqia. This move is harmful to the country!  "Li Du couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A communications soldier walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand. He saluted Li Du and said: "Brigade, Heihe Security Commander and Heilongjiang Cavalry Commander.  Command General Ma Zhanshan to send an urgent message.  " Li Du quickly took the message and opened it. The message was as follows: "Brother Zhichu, I have received the request for help message from Zhang Xinghan, commander of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. I know that brother Zhichu is loyal and courageous and has the country at heart. Today, the invaders are brazen.  To raise troops, Zhang Brigade is alone in Shenyang and is in need of rescue. As soldiers, how can we sit idly by and ignore it?  When the message reached you, I had already begun to gather troops and was about to lead the army to join Brother Zhichu and march south to aid Shenyang. However, I suddenly heard that a brigade of Japanese invaders had set off from North Korea and had now crossed the Yalu River and was heading towards the hinterland of our Black Province.  To advance rapidly, in order to protect the territory of Heilongjiang, I must personally stay and command to resist the enemy.  Although I cannot personally lead the reinforcements to Shenyang, I have sent a cavalry regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Salib, to go south with you, brother Zhichu, to reinforce Shenyang.  There is also the 28th brigade of Ding Chao, who is stationed in Harbin. As the commander-in-chief of Heilongjiang, I have ordered him to lead his troops to go south with brother Zhichu to reinforce Shenyang. I hope that brother Zhichu will command well and go south at full speed to support Zhang Xinghan's troops.  After repelling the invading Japanese army from Korea, Zhanshan personally led the main force of our province’s cavalry southward.  Heihe garrison commander Ma Zhanshan, in Heihe on September 25, 20th year of the Republic of China.  "After reading it, Li Du suddenly put the message together and said to Zhao Zhenhe with a solemn expression: "Deputy Brigadier Zhao.  "    "have!  "Zhao Zhenhe quickly stood up and responded. "Pass my order and the entire brigade will assemble immediately. When Sabli's cavalry regiment arrives, they will immediately march towards Harbin and join forces with Ding Brigade to go south to reinforce Shenyang!  "Li Du said decisively. "Yes!  "Zhao Zhenhe responded with excitement.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 56: Jilin’s Internal Troubles

    Not long after Li Du's 24th Army Brigade was assembled, Sabli led a regiment of Heilongjiang cavalry and arrived.  Once the troops were united, Li Dusabuli and others led their troops south to Harbin.  At that time, there were two ** brigades in Harbin and surrounding areas, namely Ding Chao's ** 28th Brigade and Xing Zhanqing's ** 26th Brigade.  Among them, Xing Zhanqing’s 26th Brigade has one regiment stationed in Hengdaohezi, one regiment stationed in Yimianpo, and the brigade headquarters and another regiment stationed in Harbin.  The main task of its brigade is to be responsible for the defense of the Hadong area.  The main defense of Ding Chao's 28th Brigade is Harbin, and he himself is also a senior figure in the Northeast Army.  He graduated from the Infantry Section of the Japanese Army Sergeant School in 1911. After returning to China, he successively served as the commander of the Jilin Military Administration, the director of the Fengtian Ordnance Factory, and the station director of the Fengtian General Headquarters.  Especially during the later Middle East Road incident, he was appointed by Zhang Xueliang as the commander-in-chief of the Jilin Army's front enemy and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's commander-in-chief of the East Road front enemy. He collaborated with Navy Commander Shen Honglie, Yilan Governor Li Du and other troops in Sanjiangkou and Fuzhou.  Jin, Tongjiang and other places resisted the Soviet army.  He himself was promoted to Army Lieutenant General as early as 1927. Therefore, in Harbin, it can be said that Ding Chao has the final say.  Historically, Ding Chao also raised the anti-Japanese flag and participated in the Harbin Defense War with famous anti-Japanese generals such as Li Du and Feng Zhanhai.  But because of his weak will, when the resistance failed, he eventually betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor, ruining his reputation throughout his life.  In the headquarters of the 28th Brigade of the Harbin **, Ding Chao opened his military uniform collar, held a cigarette in his mouth, and sat carelessly on his desk. He looked at several telegrams received one after another on the table with a complex expression. He didn't know.  Think about something else.  At this time, Ding Chao was in his forties and had long lost the youthful, passionate and patriotic enthusiasm he had when he returned from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.  Twenty years of military career and officialdom have changed his personality drastically. At first glance, his posture and appearance are no different from that of a rough guy.  There are three telegrams placed in front of Ding Chao, two of which are letters and secret telegrams sent by Zhang Xinghan and Ma Zhanshan respectively to the compatriots in Northeast China.  Regarding Ma Zhanshan's order, Ding Chao, who claimed that his status and power were not lower than Ma Zhanshan's, turned a blind eye to it, ignored it in vain, and didn't take it to heart at all.  When will a Heilongjiang cavalry commander in ** be able to take charge of Jilin's affairs?  This is what Ding Chao wants to say most to Ma Zhanshan at this time.  As for Zhang Xinghan’s letter to compatriots in Northeast China, Ding Chao didn’t catch a cold. What really concerned him was the third message on the table.  That was just sent by Xiqia, the then chief of staff of the Jilin Military Administration. It is not difficult to see from Xiqia’s message that he has obviously begun to favor the Japanese.  Although Xiqia did not say so on the surface, as the chief of staff of the Jilin Military Administration, he ordered himself not to move the troops rashly and to station in his own defense area.  Doesn’t this clearly contradict Zhang Xinghan’s letter to compatriots in Northeast China?  When Ding Chao was hesitating, the adjutant walked in quickly and reported: "Brigadier seat, Brigadier Xing Zhanqing of the 26th Brigade is here and wants to see you." "Commander Xing? Please come quickly." Ding Chao immediately waved his hand and said  .  The adjutant was ordered to leave and returned a short time later. A person came in behind him. Ding Chao quickly stood up to greet him: "Brother Xing, why are you here?"  He solemnly took out a piece of telegram and said: "Brigadier Ding, this is the telegram that Chief of Staff Xi of the Military Administration just sent to Zhan Qing. Please take a look." Ding Chao took the telegram and looked at it in a hurry, and collected it with himself.  There was almost no difference when he arrived. He raised his head and said: "I have just received a telegram from Chief of Staff Xi. The content is the same as yours. Stay where you are." "Isn't this nonsense? The Japanese are now gathering preparations and may attack again at any time.  Attacking Shenyang, how can our Jilin army stand still at this time?" Xing Zhanqing was immediately furious.  "Brother Kuijiu, don't get excited. At present, Zhang Fushuai (Zhang Zuoxiang) is not here. All military and government affairs in Jilin are in the hands of Chief of Staff Xi. His orders are military orders. If we order our troops to move south to aid Shenyang, it will be disobedience.  I don’t comply. Moreover, the railway line and Changchun are both controlled by the 27th Brigade in Jixing. He is very close to Chief of Staff Xi, so without Chief of Staff Xi’s consent, even if we want to go south, there is nothing we can do.  "Ding Chao pretended to be annoyed and regretful.  "But, are we just watching the Japanese invaders in Shenyang?" Xing Zhanqing said angrily unwillingly.  "Brother Kuijiu, don't be anxious. It's just Shenyang. It can't change the world. At present, most of the northeastern Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces are still under our control. Even if the Japanese capture Shenyang??, the sky will not fall down.  Ding Chao patiently comforted him: "So, you and I should follow Chief of Staff Xi's order for the time being and wait for the opportunity."  "    "snort!  "Xing Zhanqing is impatient, but Ding Chao blocked everything he had to say. As the leader of Harbin, if Ding Chao doesn't nod, even if his 26th Brigade is intentional, it will be difficult for him to do anything. So besides snorting,  He had no other choice. At this moment, Ding Chao's adjutant came back again, this time looking particularly panicked: "Brigade, General Li Du, the envoy of Yilan and the deputy commander of defense of Jilin Military Administration, is leading the army.  The 24th Brigade and a regiment of Heilongjiang Cavalry are rapidly advancing towards Harbin.  In addition, the 21st Brigade of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Ning'an also headed towards Harbin under the leadership of brigade commander Zhang Zhibang.  "What? Li Du?" Ding Chao was shocked when he heard this. He knew Li Du's character very well, and in terms of his official position at this time, Li Du was not only the envoy of Yilan Town, but also the deputy commander of defense of Jilin Military Station. He was better than him.  One level higher.  The most important thing is that Ding Chao’s 24th Brigade is an elite border defense brigade with much better weapons and equipment than his 28th Provincial Defense Brigade.  ………………………………………………… Changchun City, Jilin Military Administration Headquarters.  Xiqia was sitting around a rectangular conference table with seven or eight people including Ji Xing, commander of the 27th Brigade of the **, Li Guilin, the 23rd Brigade of the **, and Mu Dechun, commander of the 10th Artillery Regiment.  Xiqia sat in the first place, and Jixing and Li Guilin sat on his left and right.  Looking around at everyone, Xicha said in an official tone: "Dear colleagues, there are some armed conflicts between the Shenyang Garrison and the Japanese Kwantung Army. I have just received a secret order from the Marshal. In order to avoid escalation of the conflict, our Jilin Provincial Border Guard Army and the  All troops, including the Public Security Guards, will be on standby without orders from now on. Not only will they act without permission, but those who disobey orders will be severely punished." As soon as Xiqia finished speaking, Ji Xing, who was already an Army Lieutenant General, was the first to stand up and pat him.  The table pretended to be fierce and said: "Since the Young Marshal has an order, whoever dares to disobey is disobeying the Young Marshal's military order. I, Ji Peizhi, will not be the first to spare him." Li Guilin on the side was silent when he saw this, and the 10th Artillery Regiment  The leader of the group, Mu Dechun, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.  Historically, Li Guilin and Mu Dechun were unable to withstand the temptation and pressure under the coercion and inducement of Xixia, and eventually became traitors with them.  As for several other military and political personnel in Jilin, they didn’t even dare to take a breath.  Seeing that no one had any objections, Jixing was very satisfied and turned to look at Xiqia. Xiqia immediately stood up and said, "Since everyone has no objections, let's adjourn the meeting." Li Guilin, Mu Dechun and others immediately stood up and  Dispersed with different expressions.  After seeing everyone leave, Jixing immediately turned around and asked, "Chief of Staff Xi, how was your discussion with the Japanese?" "I gave the Japanese an ambiguous answer." Xi Qia said meaningfully.  "What, you didn't agree to them? Rejected?" Ji Xing asked anxiously.  "No, I temporarily stabilized the Japanese on the grounds that I needed time to reorganize and reorganize Ding Chao, Li Du, Zhang Zhibang and other departments." Xi Qia said.  "Why do we do this? Wouldn't it be better for us to directly accept the Japanese suggestion, support the restoration of the late Emperor Xuantong, and then lead the army south to join the Japanese Kwantung Army at the foot of Shenyang City and flank Zhang Xinghan's garrison?" Ji Xing asked in confusion?  .  Xiqia shook his head and said, "No, now is not the time to support the late emperor's restoration." "How do you say this?" Jixing was puzzled.  "First of all, the Japanese Kwantung Army has been defeated by Zhang Xinghan in succession and suffered heavy losses in Shenyang. Now that the victory in the Shenyang battle has not been decided, we rashly changed our flag and supported the late emperor. This was an extremely risky move. Li Du, Ding Chao and even  Mazhan Shandu in Heilongjiang is very likely to send troops to oppose. On the contrary, if the Japanese Kwantung Army can win in one battle this time and capture the entire territory of Fengtian, it can then send troops into Jilin. Once the Kwantung Army enters Jilin, Ding Chao and  Li Du and his like have nothing to fear, now we can take the opportunity to support the restoration of the late emperor, and the restoration of our Manchuria heritage will be just around the corner," Xiqia explained.  "Oh." Ji Xing suddenly realized, and said disapprovingly: "Chief of Staff Xi, didn't the Japanese say that they have assembled three divisions this time? Are you still worried that they can't attack Shenyang and destroy Zhang Xinghan?  A small garrison? Besides, what kind of message did Zhang Xinghan send to the compatriots in the Northeast to ask for help?  "Anyway, I don't think the Japanese Kwantung Army will fail this time. The previous time, it can be said that the Kwantung Army was careless and gave Zhang Xinghan an opportunity to take advantage of. But this time the Japanese have already suffered a loss and will never do it again.  With the same mistake, this battle in Shenyang will be aIt was a head-on fierce battle without any fancy. Not to mention the Kwantung Army using the strength of three divisions. I think even if there is only one division, the Kwantung Army is guaranteed to win.  "Jixing said, his voice changed, and he added: "But what you said, Chief of Staff Xi, is not unreasonable. The matter is very important, so we should be cautious.  ” PS: First of all, I would like to thank nkj8084, Men Are Not Easy, Tianze Dragon King, Little Sword Fairy 2, Tianhai Xiangyun, Zhi Zhizun and Juesha, etc. for their generous rewards and support. Especially nkj8084, who has been doing this since Qiu Feng first started writing the book.  I have been supported so far, and all the autumn winds have touched my heart. I will definitely work hard to repay it this time. Also, let me explain the reason why there is no update during the day. I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and drove the tractor to sow soybeans with my father-in-law.  I didn’t go home until seven o’clock in the evening. After taking a shower and eating, it was already nine o’clock. This year’s busy farming season is really over. Starting from tomorrow, Qiu Feng will work hard to type and update diligently. Please wait and see.  Finally, I would like to ask for recommendation votes. This thing is free of charge. Don’t be stingy, brothers. Recommendation votes have always been Qiu Feng’s weakness since writing the book. I took a look and found that there is not much difference between him and the first place in the military classification recommendation list, which is one hundred.  It looks like a lot of votes. Brothers, if you can send the Anti-Japanese War Huben to the first place in the category before 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will update three chapters tomorrow. If you don't break your promise, please take it off the shelves!

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 57: Evil prevails over good (Part 1) First update

    Dalian Lushun, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters Building.  In an office on the third floor, good friends Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara were gathering together to discuss the next battle.  Now Japan’s domestic reinforcements of the 6th Division and the reserve forces of the 2nd Division, as well as most of North Korea’s 20th Division, have arrived at Lushun Military Port.  "Ishihara-kun, in a few days, after the 2nd Division has completed its replenishment and integration, we can march to Shenyang. How is the Jilin plan you planned going?" Seishiro Itagaki asked while smoking a cigarette.  "Xiqia has already given an answer. He has telegraphed the Chinese troops in all parts of Jilin to stay put so that they cannot go south to reinforce Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade in Shenyang to support the imperial army's attack on Shenyang." Ishihara Wan'er said thoughtfully.  "What is his attitude towards surrendering to the imperial army?" Itagaki Seishiro asked.  "In contrast, they are more inclined to support Puyi's restoration and the establishment of Manchukuo." Ishihara smiled.  Itagaki Seishiro said with disdain: "Huh, what's the difference between that and surrendering to the Empire of Japan? Without the support of the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan, they also want to support Puyi's restoration?" Ishihara Wanji smiled calmly and said: "  Mr. Itagaki, you are well versed in Chinese culture. You must have heard of the allusion of the Chinese people called "hiding their ears and stealing their bells?" Itagaki Seishiro chanted twice, nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi, that's right, the Chinese people just like to hide their ears and steal their bells. That's stupid."  "The Chinese pig haha." "However, this old guy Xiqia used Jilin Dingchao, Li Du and Heilongjiang Mazhanshan as an excuse to delay the immediate power supply and surrender to the imperial army," Ishihara Wan'er said suddenly.  "Huh, he's still waiting and watching!" Itagaki Seishiro said to the point.  "Yes, he is waiting for an opportunity." Ishihara Wan'er squinted his eyes and said: "This opportunity depends on whether the imperial army can capture Shenyang and annihilate Zhang Xinghan's garrison." "The damn Chinese people have a very bad conscience.  , Kill them all when you get the chance!" Itagaki Seishiro said angrily.  "Itagaki-kun, there is no need to be angry. The Chinese people are not stupid. It is naturally impossible for them to surrender to the imperial army rashly before we achieve a decisive victory. This is to be expected." Ishihara said with a smile.  "Moreover, even after we have won a decisive victory, if we want to occupy China for a long time and turn it into the territory of our Japanese Empire, we will still need the assistance of some Chinese people for a long time in the future. Therefore, the holy war for the empire  , For the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, some Chinese people cannot be killed, because they are still valuable." "Yes." Itagaki Seishiro adjusted his mentality and nodded in agreement.  Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had already received a reply from Ma Zhanshan and learned that a brigade of the 20th Division had directly invaded Heilongjiang Province from North Korea. Zhang Xinghan could not help but frown.  Fortunately, Ma Zhanshan still dispatched a cavalry regiment to follow Li Du's troops south to support, which made Zhang Xinghan feel a little relieved.  I just put away the message and wanted to go out to the Sujiatun front line to inspect the construction progress of the fortifications.  Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.  Zhang Xinghan had just stood up. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion and his adjutant, walking in with a man and a woman.  The person who came was none other than his younger brother Zhang Xinghua.  After returning to Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan went back to the headquarters to handle housework, while Zhang Xinghua went home to see his parents first.  Seeing that the woman who came with Zhang Xinghua looked familiar, Zhang Xinghan asked without knowing why: "Xinghua, you are not at home to accompany your parents. What are you doing here?" Zhang Xinghua glanced at Su Hanyun next to him, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile:  "Brother, this is Teacher Su from our department. He has always been very good to me when I was in Yanjing. This time I came to Shenyang with our classmates just to join our Shenyang garrison. I would like to know if you can help Teacher Su in your study."  The brigade department assigned him a position. "Zhang Xinghan, who has been born in two generations, can tell from his younger brother's behavior that he is interested in Su Hanyun next to him.  When I turned my attention to Su Hanyun, I saw her bright eyes and white teeth, skin like snow, beautiful nose and mouth, slender waist and long legs, big breasts and perky buttocks. She was indeed outstandingly tall.  When she found that Zhang Xinghan was looking at her, Su Hanyun shyly turned her eyes away, but then turned back and looked directly at Zhang Xinghan.  Unexpectedly, he suddenly raised his tall chest and stood at attention, accepting Zhang Xinghan's inspection like a soldier.  Zhang Xinghan was quite surprised and immediately asked: "Ms. Su, what majors do you know?" "Reporting to sir, before I became a teacher, I??Have studied radio major.  "Su Hanyun stepped forward and answered without being humble or overbearing. "Radio major?  " Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought after hearing this. He accidentally saw Zhang Xinghua's eyes full of eagerness and immediately decided: "Well, our communications company directly under the brigade headquarters is short of a trainee communications soldier. If Miss Su is willing,  , can stay.  " Su Hanyun was secretly happy in her heart, and she quickly stood up again and said: "Thank you sir for your permission. Su Hanyun will definitely fulfill his duties and contribute to the country and the nation.  " Zhang Xinghua was also overjoyed and said with joy: "Brother, thank you!  " "Silly boy, do we still have to be polite to each other?  Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly and said: "Besides, Miss Su knows radio and is from Yanjing. Talents like this are very popular in that army. I have to thank you, brother."  " "By the way, come home with me to have a meal with your parents at noon. The war is about to begin. Let's count it as a moment if we can spend more time with them.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Okay, big brother, then go back to the military camp with Teacher Su and bring her belongings, and then come to the brigade headquarters to formally report.  " Zhang Xinghua said with a smile. Zhang Xinghan nodded, and Zhang Xinghua and Su Hanyun immediately left hand in hand. The two went straight out of the garrison compound. Zhang Xinghua said excitedly: "Hanyun, that's great, my eldest brother agreed so readily.  .  " Su Hanyun looked at Zhang Xinghua who looked happy with guilt. She knew that the reason why Zhang Xinghua brought her to his elder brother and begged him to stay at the brigade headquarters was because he did not want to be assigned to the front-line troops.  , because everyone knows that compared to the front-line troops, it is much safer to stay at the garrison brigade headquarters. After thinking for a moment, Su Hanyun asked: "Xinghua, what about you?  Are you staying at the brigade headquarters too?  If you are willing, your elder brother will definitely agree.  " "No, I want to go to the Third Regiment of Brother Yicai.  "Zhang Xinghua's answer was beyond Su Hanyun's expectation. "Why?  Wouldn't it be safer to stay at the brigade headquarters?  And we can see each other often and take care of each other.  "Su Hanyun felt guilty and said in confusion. "How can a man be afraid of death? As the commander of Shenyang City Defense, my eldest brother even led the cavalry to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. How could I, as his younger brother, be afraid of death?  , while hiding in the brigade headquarters and living in confusion.  "Zhang Xinghua said with a firm and yearning look on his face: "The ancients said that when a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot green sword to make immortal achievements and be famous throughout the ages.  Now that I am living in troubled times and the national crisis is at the forefront, I should join the front-line troops and follow my elder brother to fight against the Japanese invaders. I do not seek to become famous, but only seek to do my best for the country and the nation. Even if I die on the battlefield and my body is shrouded in horse leather, I will not complain.  No regrets!  ” PS: I know that many brothers are waiting to see the rabbit but not the hawk. I will update one chapter first. As long as the chrysanthemum that ranks first in the category recommendation vote is exploded, I will definitely update two more chapters. Just one chapter  The gap is a hundred votes, brothers, go ahead!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 58: Inspecting the Positions

    "Well, that's well said." Su Hanyun's eyes were full of admiration and approval, and she nodded in praise.  Then he said softly: "But Xinghua, you must pay attention to safety. I hope we can see the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won together." "Yes, I will." Zhang Xinghua looked at Su Hanyun's beautiful face with nostalgia.  , nodded equally softly.  ????…………………… At around 10 a.m. on September 26, 2011, Zhang Xinghua took Guo Zhong and two other guards in a military jeep and left the garrison brigade headquarters located in the south of the city.  Exit the city from the south and drive toward Sujiatun.  Just after leaving the south of the city, people from Shenyang and nearby areas were everywhere helping the garrison brigade to repair and strengthen fortifications. Among these free workers, there were men and women, old and young.  When Zhang Xinghan was driving along the South Canal, he saw a scene that moved him very much.  A middle-aged woman with three children is helping a company of the third regiment of the garrison brigade build a position along the river.  The four mothers worked together to carry a willow tree with a diameter of about 20 to 30 centimeters and a length of about 4 to 5 meters, and happened to be walking slowly by Zhang Xinghan's car.  Seeing this, Zhang Xinghan quickly ordered Guo Zhong to stop the car, turned over and jumped out of the jeep, waved to the four women who had just missed him and said: "Fellow fellows." The middle-aged woman stopped walking, turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Zhang Xinghan wearing a military uniform.  Calling him, he quickly said to his two sons and one daughter: "Da Ya, Erhu is here to help mother put down the wood." Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan walked over quickly, and Guo Zhong and the other two guards who got out of the car also walked quickly  He ran over, and with the combined efforts of several people, the willow wood section weighing more than a hundred kilograms was easily lowered.  "Fellow, why did you bring your children to help repair the fortifications?" Zhang Xinghan looked at the four women. Among the three children, the girl was slightly older, about twelve or thirteen years old, and the two boys were about seven or eight years old.  Years old, nine years old like this.  The three children have dark skin and thin bodies, as if they would fall over if the wind blows.  “As a mother, a middle-aged woman basically has to bear the burden of carrying willow sections weighing hundreds or dozens of kilograms alone.  In addition to feeling distressed, Zhang Xinghan also became more and more angry. What on earth did Wang Yicai do? He actually asked a woman to bring several children to help him repair the fortifications.  At this time, the woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied breathlessly: "Sir, sir, my leader died in the battle a few days ago. I am here to replace him and help you repair the fortifications." "What?" Zhang Xinghan heard this.  Startled, something in his heart was deeply touched, and then he became furious again. He turned around and shouted: "Guo Zhong, call Wang Yicai right away. Damn you, who asked him to be taken by the martyrs' families?"  Are the children here to repair the fortifications? " Zhang Xinghan suddenly became furious, startling the woman and her children, and the three children subconsciously squeezed into their mother's body.  The middle-aged woman put her hands around her children to signal them not to be afraid, and quickly said to Zhang Xinghan: "Sir, don't misunderstand me. I don't blame Commander Wang. I came here of my own free will. I, a man, can sacrifice my life to fight the Japanese. I can't."  It’s just a little effort, no big deal. As long as you, sir, can kill a few more little Japanese devils and avenge dead people like my baby’s father, it will be worth it even if I die from exhaustion.” “You know Wang Yicai.  ?" Zhang Xinghan looked at the woman in surprise and admiration.  "Well, my husband worked with Commander Wang at the police station before he was alive. Later, when the Japanese came, Commander Wang and all the police officers became city defense troops." The middle-aged woman replied sadly.  "Fellow, what's the name of the child's father?" Zhang Xinghan looked at the three frail children with pity.  "Zhou Dasheng." The woman replied.  "Zhou Dasheng." Zhang Xinghan muttered to himself and said, "Well done, Zhou Dasheng sacrificed his life for the country. From now on, the garrison brigade will be responsible for the lives of you and your three children." "Thank you, sir." Women are already  She was worried about the future of her three children. When she saw Zhang Xinghan speaking, she quickly bowed her head and thanked her. She was even more excited and said immediately: "Sir, I can wash clothes, cook, and can do any kind of work" Zhang Xinghan quickly raised his hand to fight.  She was already a little incoherent and said: "You don't have to do anything, just raise the three children well. Zhou Dasheng sacrificed for the country, and the country should support you mother and child." The woman was so moved that she was at a loss. After thinking about it,  He said to his children: "Da Ya, Er Hu, San Hu, you three should kowtow quickly to thank this officer." "Hey, fellow countryman, I can't do it." Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan quickly stopped him and said, "You do this.  This is really embarrassing for Zhang. Let's do this. I think the two tiger brothers are very cute with their tiger heads and tiger brains. If you are willing, I will accept them as my godson. From now on, we will be a family.?Sister-in-law, what do you think?  " "That that's great thank you so much, sir.  "Mr. Zhou was overjoyed when she heard this and continued intermittently with excitement. "Two tigers, three tigers, call me godfather!  Kowtow to your godfather!  " Mrs. Zhou said anxiously to her two sons. After hearing this, the two tigers and the three tigers looked up at their mother. They immediately knelt down to Zhang Xinghan and called daddy at the same time. Zhang Xinghan did not stop the two little guys this time and formally accepted it.  After the two kowtowed, they helped them up. At this time, the guard had called Wang Yicai over.  "Seeing the outsiders, Wang Yicai immediately stood at attention and saluted. After Zhang Xinghan returned the salute, he pointed at Zhou's mother and son and said: "Captain Wang, they are the families of martyrs, orphans and widows. How can you let them help repair fortifications.  " "Bearer, this, they are Zhou Dasheng" Wang Yicai didn't finish his words. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, I know the specific reasons. I just recognized Erhu and Sanhu as my godsons. I  Since you have military affairs, you will arrange for someone to help us send the four of them to our house first, and also tell my parents about the situation.  " "Really?  "Wang Yicai was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, Zhou Dasheng, you should rest in peace now. With the help of the host, your wife and children will not suffer anymore. "Don't worry, I will ask the guards to send them there.  " "Well, that's good.  Zhang Xinghan then turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Sister-in-law, I still have military duties to attend to. You can stay at my house temporarily, and I will arrange a place for you to stay after I finish my work."  " "Well, you go about your business first.  "Ms. Zhou nodded quickly. Zhang Xinghan nodded, took Guo Zhong and others back into the jeep and continued driving towards Sujiatun. Sitting on the jeep and looking at the busy outside of Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan lit one  Guo Zhong started smoking silently. Next to him, Guo Zhong suddenly said: "Brigade, I have an idea.  "    "oh?  Tell me.  "Zhang Xinghan's eyes were still on the field defense position being repaired in the distance. "From what happened just now, I discovered a problem, that is, the orphans of the families of the fallen soldiers. Not to mention that as the war progresses in the future, there will be more  Human sacrifices, let’s talk about the brothers who died when the September 18th Incident broke out. After their death, their families may face the same difficulties as the orphan of the Zhou family today.  Guo Zhong saw that Zhang Xinghan had no intention of refusing to listen. He continued: "Therefore, I suggest that you set up an institution similar to a shelter to specially accommodate the orphans of the fallen soldiers' families. For the helpless family members and orphans,  Make a comprehensive settlement.  This organization can also try to set up a branch such as a school, which can provide centralized education and training for the children of these fallen soldiers. It can not only comfort the spirits of the fallen soldiers, but also cultivate some usable talents for our country, and can also avoid  The tragedy of the martyrs’ families being left alone and helpless.  " Zhang Xinghan turned around after hearing this, looked approvingly at Guo Zhong, who had a sudden idea, and nodded: "Yes, this suggestion is quite good. In fact, I was also thinking about the settlement of the families of the fallen martyrs just now. You  The suggestion immediately made me suddenly realize that not only should such a reception institution and school branch be established, this branch should also be divided into military education and normal knowledge education.  " "Well, Brigadier is right. In this way, we can also train as many military talents as possible for the future of our country.  "Guo Zhong nodded. As the two discussed, the jeep had already arrived at Sujiatun. Compared with the outside of Shenyang City, it was busier here. The entire Sujiatun Town, especially in the direction of the train station, was densely packed with reinforcements being excavated.  When the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment in the bunker and the civilians who came to help learned of Zhang Xinghan's arrival, the leader of the Second Regiment, Liu Guodong, came out of the regiment headquarters with several guards to greet him. After greeting him for a while, Zhang Xinghan immediately asked Liu Guodong to lead the way.  Walking to the regiment leader's position which was also the most advanced train station position, Zhang Xinghan looked around in the traffic trench that had been dug half a man deep. After pondering and calculating for a long time, he said to Liu Guodong: "Guodong, remember that trenches and traffic trenches must be separated.  Excavation and construction should be carried out in a curved shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Iron plates and strong civil bunkers must be added to the bombproof holes and air raid shelters.  " "Also, in front of each forward position, there must be a wide mine field, and the troops must be deployed according to the depth of the position, and resist step by step. The mission of your regiment is to kill a large number of enemies and weaken the enemy's spirit. You must not give up easily until it is absolutely necessary.  position, because Sujiatun is the last barrier in Shenyang.  "    "yes!  "Liu Guodong wrote them down one by one, stood upright and said: "Please rest assured, our Second Regiment, all the soldiers of our Second Regiment swear to live and die with Sujiatun.  ”&nbsp; "The Japs have an absolute advantage this time. We must eliminate as many of their effective forces as possible and preserve ourselves instead of fighting with them. Therefore, you must set up more minefields and use more firepower to kill the Japs. Let me inform all the battalions.  Commander, if you have enough ammunition, give me a good beating. Don't fight the Japanese with bayonets again unless you have no choice." Zhang Xinghan ordered in an unquestionable tone.  "Yes, please bear in mind this humble duty!" Liu Guodong stood up to attention again.  PS: Brothers, there are still less than 90 votes left. Come on, even if I kill him at 12 o'clock, I will give him an extra update.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 59: Attack on Xinghan

    After inspecting the main position of Sujiatun, Zhang Xinghan took a jeep and drove north along the east bank of the South Canal.  At this time, the garrison brigade had temporarily built several pontoons near Niujiatun on the Nanyun River, for no other reason than to facilitate the people in the rural villages and towns east of Shenyang to sink.  In order to win the battle to defend Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan had already issued an order yesterday to move people to villages outside the city. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Since yesterday, nearly 100,000 people in the vast countryside in the east of Shenyang City have been evacuating to Shenyang one after another under the cover of garrison cavalry and armored troops, carrying all edible and usable materials, old and young.  Therefore, when Zhang Xinghan arrived near Niujiatun by car, civilians with their families being evacuated to Shenyang could be seen everywhere.  Because of the cover of the garrison brigade cavalry and armored troops, Gao Zhihang also sent aircraft to provide early warning and cover in the air.  The remaining troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army along the South Manchuria Railway did not dare to act rashly and could only watch as the Chinese people with a radius of nearly a hundred miles on both sides of the railway line retreated towards Shenyang.  After all, in the huge Liaoning Province, the area currently controlled by the Japanese is the towns along the South Manchuria Railway and some large and small counties along the Bohai Bay.  Its power radiates no more than ten kilometers on both sides of the South-Manchuria Railway.  Of course, the lack of troops is also one of the reasons why the Japanese along the railway dare not take the initiative to attack.  It is precisely this way that before the arrival of reinforcements, the Japanese garrison along the line can only do their best to ensure the safety of the railway line, and cannot take the initiative to attack.  Because the Japanese soldiers clearly knew how important the South Manchuria Railway was to the next battle to attack Shenyang.  Sitting on the jeep, Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette. While smoking, he looked thoughtfully at the evacuated people who were crossing the river in an orderly manner.  After a long time, he flicked the burning cigarette butt away and said to Guo Zhong: "Let's go to the airport." Guo Zhong immediately started the jeep and quickly turned around and drove away towards the road he came from.  After a while, Zhang Xinghan took a jeep to the Dongta Airport located in the east of the city.  After jumping out of the car, Zhang Xinghan tugged on his military uniform, and strode towards the airport surrounded by Guo Zhong and two guards.  Dozens of soldiers from a platoon guarding outside the airport quickly stood up from their fortifications and stood at attention in unison to salute.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to them and led Guo Zhong and the others straight into the airport.  Dongta Airport has been expanded successively after two generations of Zhang and his son spent countless efforts. It is now the largest large-scale military airport in China and even in Northeast Asia.  There are airstrips composed of smooth and flat cement pavements, wide and neat aprons, and a three-story airport building.  All the advanced airport facilities of this era are available here.  On the tarmac, there were about a hundred fighter jets and bombers of various types parked neatly and quietly.  On the tarmac, there were many pilots gathered around a certain plane in twos and threes, discussing something.  There are also ground crews performing maintenance on some aircraft.  Zhang Xinghan and others had not gone far when Gao Zhihang came over with a few subordinates with a smile on his face.  "Travel seat." Gao Zhihang took the lead in saluting.  "Brother Ziheng, I'm coming to the airport to have a look and discuss some things with you." Zhang Xinghan returned the greeting.  "If you have any questions, please tell me if you have any questions." After Gao Zhihang finished speaking, he quickly turned aside and said, "please go to the aviation building to rest." Zhang Xinghan nodded, surrounded by Gao Zhihang, Guo Zhong and others.  Entered the aviation team's conference room.  After sitting down, a serviceman had already brought tea. Zhang Xinghan sat in the front seat and took a sip. He raised his head and said to Gao Zhihang: "Brother Ziheng, how is the current combat readiness of the air force?" "Our air force has a total of reconnaissance aircraft, bombers and fighter jets.  One hundred and fifty-four, all are ready for battle," Gao Zhihang stepped forward and replied.  "How is the ammunition reserve?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The ammunition reserve is still sufficient, but there is not much aviation fuel left in the brigade. We must find a way to solve it, otherwise the aviation fleet will gradually lose its combat capability." Gao Zhihang said with concern.  "Well, I will find a way to get the oil." Zhang Xinghan nodded and explained his purpose: "I don't know the current oil reserves. Is it allowed to dispatch a bomber group to carry out a large-scale air raid on the South Manchuria Railway?" "I don't know what the host wants.  What strategic purpose is to be achieved?" Gao Zhihang asked without answering.  "I want the entire South Manchuria Railway to be paralyzed except for the Dalian and Lushun section. It will be impossible to repair it and reopen it to traffic within a month." Zhang Xinghan said coldly.Gao Zhihang was lost in thought. After a while, he raised his head and said firmly: "Okay, but from the passenger seat, please get fuel replenishment within five days, otherwise our fighter group will not be able to participate in the pick-up."  "I will give you sufficient fuel supplies in five days." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said firmly.  "That's good, please wait patiently for the good news from our aviation team." Gao Zhihang said confidently.  Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Gao Zhihang and others, inspected the fighter jets and pilots at the airport and boosted the morale of the pilots.  Zhang Xinghan took a jeep and left the airport and returned to Shenyang City.  After returning to his brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan went to his bedroom alone, closed the door, and took out the multifunctional watch that he regarded as a treasure.  Skillfully open the watch screen lock, quickly click into the game, and flip through the production pages of those guns, ammunition, aircraft, tanks and artillery.  Zhang Xinghan found the military strategic materials page in his memory, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this page not only contained aviation gasoline needed for screw aircraft, but also aviation kerosene needed for jet aircraft.  In this way, I no longer have to worry about fuel.  Zhang Xinghan put away his watch with great joy and looked at the time. It was almost 12 noon.  After calming down his excitement, he walked out of the bedroom, mounted the war horse tied in the temporary stables of the headquarters, and headed straight to his home in the east of the city.  For safety reasons, Guo Zhong sent several guards to follow on horseback.  Zhang Xinghan rode like flying and quickly passed through Shenyang Street and arrived at the east of the city. At this moment.  Behind a stall on the right side of the street, two well-dressed men suddenly and quietly pulled out two mirror boxes and pointed their guns at Zhang Xinghan, who was running towards them.  When Zhang Xinghan rode his horse and approached, the harsh gunfire sounded in vain.  Along with the sound of gunshots, there was a loud shout: "Sir, be careful!" PS: I have something to go out, so this is the update today.  Two updates tomorrow.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 60: A certain Shen Xingye

    Zhang Xinghan instinctively lowered his head quickly, only to feel two waves of hot heat whizzing past his ears.  The scorching temperature made my temples feel burning.  When he raised his head and looked forward, he saw a big man in black attire already fighting with two assassins who were shooting at him.  The big man was very skilled, and in a blink of an eye, he knocked the box cannons in the hands of the two men to the ground with a storm of attacks.  After parrying the attack of one of the assassins, the big man quickly kicked away the other assassin behind him who wanted to take the opportunity to attack him.  The kicked assassin fell to the ground and rolled backwards for several meters, knocking over several stalls. He lay hunched on the ground in great pain, unable to stand up.  This shows how powerful the big man’s kick was.  After finishing off an assassin, the big man didn't give the assassin in front of him a chance to breathe. He grabbed his hands like iron pliers and pushed them away. With a loud shout, he raised his foot and kicked the assassin hard in the chest.  superior.  "Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and the sound of bones breaking came from the assassin's chest. His entire face was instantly distorted in pain, and a stream of bright red blood spewed out from his mouth involuntarily.  Ignoring wiping the blood on his face, the big man forcefully flicked the assassin's right wrist, and there was a crack of bones, followed by the assassin's heart-rending scream.  At this time, several cavalry guards had surrounded him, protecting Zhang Xinghan in the middle. They each drew out their pistols and submachine guns and watched the surroundings with vigilance.  Seeing that both assassins were subdued, Zhang Xinghan quickly shouted: "Leave alive!" Two cavalry guards armed with MP18 (flower machine) submachine guns immediately dismounted and rushed forward.  The strong man did not kill again. He stopped after hearing the sound and helped the two guards control the two seriously injured assassins.  The sound of gunfire had already alerted the patrol team in the city. Not long after, a patrol team with more than dozens of people rushed to the scene.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, one of the leading soldiers quickly stood up and saluted: "Brigade, are you okay?" "I'm okay. Let me arrest these two people first and put them in prison. They must be strictly guarded and cannot be let go."  They are dead." Zhang Xinghan said immediately.  "Yes!" the superior soldier responded quickly, and immediately ordered his men to arrest the people.  "Sergeant, what should we do with him?" The superior soldier looked at the burly man in a smart suit and turned to ask.  "He is the one who saved me. If he stays, you can take him back first." Only then did Zhang Xinghan have time to look at the man who saved his life. If he hadn't taken action in time and affected the accuracy of the two assassins, then he would have been  It might just hang up.  He is about 1.85 meters tall, with a sturdy back and thick arms. The muscles under his strong suit contain explosive power. What is particularly noteworthy is that there is a striking scar nearly seven or eight centimeters in length under his left eye.  His calm and cold eyes are intimidating.  ??And judging from the fight just now, this person is quite skilled. Although he may not be able to beat himself, he is also the best master he has encountered so far.  As the entire Shenyang garrison knew, it seemed that no one’s fighting skills could compare to the strong man in front of him.  With a feeling of love for talents in his heart, Zhang Xinghan immediately got off his horse. Upon seeing this, the other cavalry guards also dismounted. One of them even suggested to Zhang Xinghan in a low voice: "Brigade, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, we'd better leave as soon as possible.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said, "I know, there's no rush." ??As he said that, he walked towards the strong man in black. Several guards had no choice but to follow him with guns, observing the surroundings vigilantly and being prepared for emergencies at any time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan walking towards him, the strong man in black was also a little excited. After all, he was facing a famous anti-Japanese hero. He said goodbye to his brothers on the mountain and came down to Shen in response to his call to join the army.  Therefore, with a slightly excited mood, the strong man in black subconsciously stood up straight.  "My dear friend, thank you for saving my life." Zhang Xinghan first saluted him as a military salute and said sincerely.  "Sir, you don't have to be polite. You are dedicated to serving the country. How can you be harmed by traitors? It is right for you to come to the rescue." Shen Xingye said neither humble nor overbearing.  Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly and asked, "May I ask your surname, my dear friend?" "My surname is Shen, my first name is Xingye, my courtesy name is Yizhi." Shen Xingye replied.  "Shen Xingye? Shen Yizhi?" Zhang Xinghan muttered a few words to himself, and straight to the point said sternly to Shen Xingye: "Now that the country is facing a national crisis, Xinghan has raised his troops to serve the country, and he urgently needs the help of a skilled hero like Brother Shen. I wonder if Brother Shen can join my defense.  Travel??Working with Xinghan to serve the country loyally?  "To be honest, Shen came to Shen and wanted to join your army. Commander Zhang is so famous that everyone in the three eastern provinces knows about him?"  Shen is lucky to be able to follow his superiors to defend the border against Japan!  " Shen Xingye quickly expressed his feelings. When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly took Shen Xingye's hand and said with joy, "That's great. I am honored to have Brother Shen help me!  ” ………………………………… Arranged Shen Xingye to report to the garrison brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan took the guards back to his house in a good mood. As soon as he got off the horse, his younger brother Zhang Xinghua hurried from inside  He ran out, helped lead the horse and said, "Brother, you are back. Mom has cooked a table of our favorite meals and is waiting for you."  " "I was busy with military affairs, so I came a little late.  "Zhang Xinghan did not tell the story of the attack, so as not to worry his family. "Go in quickly.  "Zhang Xinghua had no doubt that he was there. Zhang Xinghan took the lead and walked towards the courtyard, and Zhang Xinghua followed him with a happy face. When the two brothers walked into the main hall hand in hand, their father Zhang Yuxi was sitting in the seat with his eyes closed and resting. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes.  With both eyes, Zhang Xinghan beamed with joy and said, "Xinghan is back?  Come and sit down.  "    "Um.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded, and he and Zhang Xinghua sat down one after another. After a while, his mother Liu Liping, Wang Ruoying, and the Zhou family came in with Zhang Xinghan's two godsons and one goddaughter carrying the last few dishes. At this time, the three Zhou families came in  All the children had put on new clothes and had taken a bath, especially the three children. After removing the dirt on their faces, Zhang Xinghan was very happy to see this. It was obvious that his parents were reasonable.  They didn't look down on them, and they didn't treat their mothers as outsiders. The family sat together happily and began to enjoy this rare reunion dinner before the war. During the dinner, Zhang Yuxi and her two sons drank wine and discussed current affairs.  Ruoying, Liu Liping and Zhou ate their food silently as the audience. The three children ate for a while and then went to play alone in the yard. After some discussion, Zhang Yuxi was very pleased to find that not only the eldest son was mature and steady,  The second son, Zhang Xinghua, who is upright and dedicated to the country and the nation, has changed a lot since he went to Yanjing. He has his own unique insights and views on current affairs, and his knowledge has greatly improved.  Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised to find that his brother's thoughts and opinions seemed a bit familiar. They were enjoying themselves during the dinner. After eating and drinking for two hours, the Zhang family was full.  After it was over, her father Zhang Yuxi went back to the bedroom to rest with Liu Liping's support because she had drunk a lot. Wang Ruoying and Zhou were responsible for cleaning up, and Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghua came to the yard one after another.  He sat down on the stone table in the middle, took out cigarettes, handed one to Zhang Xinghua: "Would you like to smoke?  Zhang Xinghua smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother, I don't smoke, so you should smoke less. Smoking too much is not good for your health."  " Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly, took out a match, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Xinghua, I heard from the recruitment office that you signed up for the Third Regiment?  "    "Um.  "Zhang Xinghua nodded. "Why go to the Third Regiment?  "Zhang Xinghan said in confusion. "Brother, why not go to the Third Regiment?  "Zhang Xinghua didn't answer the question. "The Third Regiment is a front-line force and may have a fierce battle with the Japanese army at any time. It's too dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to you.  Zhang Xinghan said. "Brother, didn't you say that once the war breaks out, all Chinese people, men, women, old and young, have the responsibility to defend their homeland and resist the war? How can I be an exception?"  "Zhang Xinghua said. "Nonsense, we two brothers must have someone left behind to support our parents in their old age, right?  Can you bear to see the two elders being helpless and suffering in their old age?  "Zhang Xinghan was a little angry. Yes, he had raised his arms and shouted such inspiring slogans, but it was just a means, a means to call on the vast majority of compatriots to rise up and resist. As the eldest son of the Zhang family, he would never allow his younger brother to do the same.  Just like himself, he ignored life and death. As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having an offspring. Zhang Xinghan can take his own life, just like what he said in his family book, he still has one brother and two elders to rely on, so he has nothing to worry about.  Now that his younger brother, whom he regards as his second oldest brother, is also joining the front-line army, how can he not be annoyed or angry? "Xinghua, let's do this, I plan to get closer.We will form an internal security force in the early stage, which is different from the direct guard battalion and reconnaissance force. It is a secret organization similar to the special agent company. Come to my brigade headquarters to join the special agent company.  "After the attack just now, Zhang Xinghan deeply felt a potential danger. This danger may come from the Japanese army, or it may come from Zhang Xueliang, who hates him deeply. Therefore, on the way here, he germinated to form a similar organization.  Later, the military commander directly took orders from his own internal security organization. Of course, the scale of the military commander in the future is definitely not comparable to that of the current Central Secret Service Headquarters. However, such a secret internal security force plus a guard camp are both visible and covert.  , you can help yourself eliminate dangers and protect your own safety as much as possible. PS: Thanks to avdfgdsf4d, Ant CEO, Tianhai Xiangyun, Kuangqin, Jump Out of the World, Jue.2 Ye, Lao Wang Arthur and other brothers for their reward and vote support. Thank you.  Everyone! There’s another update tonight.

    "Brother, I understand your good intentions, but I think you should also understand that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have never been complete. As the Chinese nation has developed and multiplied to this day, there has never been a shortage of loyal ministers and filial sons, and there is no shortage of loyal ministers and filial sons, let alone those who sacrifice their lives for the country and stand firm for the nation.  People, you and I are not the first group, and we will never be the last group. " "My eldest brother is worried that after we die in the war, our parents will have nothing to rely on, but there are thousands of other comrades who are happy to go to the national disaster.  Brother, have you ever thought about their families? Have you ever thought that they also have wives and children?" Zhang Xinghua's words were so righteous that Zhang Xinghan was speechless for a moment.  Zhang Xinghua did not give up when he saw this, but turned to Zhang Xinghan and said: "Xinghua understands the eldest brother's intentions. In fact, compared to you and me, the eldest brother deserves to live more than me, because not only because of our parents, you also  There is a woman who loves you deeply. Sister Ruoying is young and in her prime. Brother, if you love her, you should give her happiness and take care of her for the rest of her life. On the other hand, I am currently alone and have no worries.  One day, it is a blessing to die on the battlefield and die for the country." At this moment, Wang Ruoying came out of the kitchen at some point. After listening to the conversation between the two brothers, she couldn't help but stepped forward and scolded you two dissatisfiedly.  Brother, have you drunk too much? What are you talking about? No matter what, you must live a good life for me, not for anything else, just for your parents, and for everyone who cares about you. " Zhang Xinghan asked.  He took one last puff of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke meaningfully: "The second brother taught me a lesson. He was right. We have parents and relatives, and so do thousands of other comrades and brothers.  ? What will happen to their wives, children, and children after they die? "In the final analysis, this is a catastrophic Patriotic war that requires all Chinese people to face it. It is a blessing to shed blood and sacrifice for it."  Zhang Xinghan patted Zhang Xinghua on the shoulder and said: "Second brother, you go to the Third Regiment. Everyone has his own ambitions. A good man should not be afraid of life and death. He should bleed and sacrifice for the country and the nation. He should be wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield without any regrets." "  Thank you, brother." Zhang Xinghua didn't say much, but looked at Zhang Xinghan with a meaningful look and saluted him.  There is gratitude, encouragement and excitement in this look.  Shenyang Chengdongdongta Airport.  More than ten fighter jets took off first and were circling over the airport waiting.  With the deafening roar of engines, bombers loaded with ammunition took off one after another along the runway.  After all eight bombers took off, the fighter group that had been circling and waiting immediately flew around them. With the cooperation of the bomber group, a mixed fighter group formation was formed with the fighter group outside and the bomber group included.  The leading fighter was the Gao Delong fighter piloted by Gao Zhihang himself. This time, Gao Zhihang personally led the attack on the South Manchuria Railway to ensure nothing went wrong.  Since Zhang Xinghan asked him to paralyze the entire South Manchuria Railway as much as possible, Gao Zhihang and his colleagues discussed and decided to carry out bombing and destruction in stages and locations.  After discussion, they selected the section for the first bombing as the middle section from Liaoyang to Dengta County. Bridges and culverts will be their main targets for air strikes.  The lighthouse is less than a hundred miles away from Shenyang. Gao Zhihang led a mixed fleet to fly over the lighthouse in the blink of an eye. The fighter jets immediately spread out and flew in all directions, alerting them.  Under the cover of two fighter planes, the bombers attacked the railway line south of the lighthouse.  In the violent explosions, sections of railway tracks and sleepers were turned into fragments in the fire and smoke, and rubbles were shot all over the sky like stray bullets.  Because the incident occurred suddenly, the Japanese army had no time to prepare in advance, so Gao Zhihang's air raid went very smoothly.  In just over twenty minutes, all the important bridges and culverts along the dozens of kilometers of railway between Lighthouse and Liaoyang were basically destroyed.  Temporarily paralyzed railway traffic in this area.  Dalian Lushun, headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  News that the South Manchuria Railway line was attacked by the Shenyang Air Force quickly reached here.  Commander Shigeru Honjo immediately notified two major think tanks, Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, who were also the planners and promoters of the September 18th Incident.  After the two arrived, Shigeru Honjo said solemnly: "The China Air Force is too arrogant and started air raids on our South Manchuria Railway. How do you think we should respond?" Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro looked at each other and said: "Commander  Your Excellency, I believe that the South Manchuria Railway is hundreds of kilometers long, and passive defense is not the best solution. The only way is to eliminate it.?The air force in Shenyang must seize air supremacy to ensure the safety of the South Manchuria Railway. Therefore, I implore you, the Commander, to immediately order our aviation units to fight against the China Air Force.  " Itagaki Seishiro also gritted his teeth and said: "During the September 18th Incident, it was this China Air Force that caused great damage to the imperial army's offensive troops. It is so abominable that it must be eliminated.  " After listening to this, Honjo Shige pondered for a while and nodded: "At present, the supplementary troops of the 2nd Division have basically completed the running-in. A brigade of the 20th Division is also attacking in the direction of Heilongjiang as planned, and there are also Xiqia forces in the direction of Jilin.  The imperial army blocked all possible reinforcements from the Northeast China Army, and the time was ripe for the imperial army to attack Shenyang.  " Having said this, Honjo Shige suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Ishihara-kun, immediately order the air force to prepare for battle immediately and conduct an air attack on Shenyang Dongta Airport. All air power of the Shenyang China Army must be eliminated. The 6th Division, 20th Division, and  The 2nd Division was limited to complete all combat mobilization and preparations within three days, and three days later, on September 29, it attacked Shenyang.  " "In addition, manpower is organized to quickly repair the damaged railway from the lighthouse to Liaoyang, and it must be opened to traffic in three days.  " "Hai!  "Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro suddenly lowered their heads and responded in excitement, and then turned around and took the order. ……………………………… At the same time, Harbin. Li Du has led the troops to Harbin.  Outside the city, Xing Zhanqing, commander of the 26th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, and his troops welcomed him happily. Ding Chao, commander of the 28th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, had no choice but to join Li Du's troops to aid Shen. At this point, three Japanese brigades and a cavalry had gathered in Harbin.  regiment, plus the military and police patrols and security forces in the city, the total number of Northeast Army infantry and cavalry in Harbin has exceeded 40,000. After some discussion, Li Du, Ding Chao and others decided to leave Zhao Zhenhe and lead a regiment to stay in Harbin.  Du, Xing Zhanqing, and Ding Chao each led their ** brigade and a cavalry regiment from Sabli to advance along the Middle East Railway toward Changchun. News that Li Du, Ding Chao, Xing Zhanqing, and others joined forces and headed south soon spread to Xi.  These two big traitors were gathering forces in Changchun to intercept Li Du and other troops from going south to aid Shenyang. They also sent a message to Benzhuang Fan for help, and at the same time asked him to immediately launch an attack on Shenyang. The war was imminent.  …

    Shenyang City, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had already said goodbye to his family and returned to his headquarters with the guards. Zhang Xinghua also bowed and bowed to his parents before going straight to Wang Yicai's Third Regiment to report.  In the brigade war room, as soon as Zhang Xinghan entered, several people in the room stood up to greet him.  Zhang Xinghan took a look and saw that Shen Xingye and Su Hanyun were both there.  "My guest, Brother Shen and Miss Su have been waiting for you for a long time." Guo Zhong came up and explained.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded, took off his white gloves, walked in and said to Shen Xingye and Su Hanyun: "I'm sorry, I had a meal with my family, so I came a little late." "It's okay, it's okay."  Shen Xingye and Su Hanyun quickly said respectfully.  "By the way, Brother Shen, Miss Su, have you had lunch?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "If not, I will ask the cooking team to prepare some for you." "Thank you for your concern, sir, I have eaten."  Shen Xingye said.  "I've eaten it too." Su Hanyun replied immediately.  "Oh, that's okay." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Battle Commander Guo, go and call me Xiao Lizi." "Yes!" Guo Zhong took the order and turned around to leave.  Not long after, Xiao Lizi, the commander of the communications company, walked in quickly after him.  "Sir, are you looking for a humble position?" Xiao Lizi looked at Su Hanyun and Shen Xingye, and saluted Zhang Xinghan.  "Well, Captain Li, this Su Hanyun is from Yenching University and is good at radio. Now I am sending her to your communications company to assist you in your work." Zhang Xinghan pointed at Su Hanyun and introduced.  Xiao Lizi looked at Su Hanyun, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and said with joy: "Really? That's great." Zhang Xinghan looked at Su Hanyun. Su Hanyun was not afraid of stage. He stepped forward generously and saluted Xiao Lizi with his chest raised.  : "Captain Li, Hanyun will be working under your leadership from now on. Please give me your guidance and care." Although Xiao Lizi attended a private school for several years and later learned a lot from Zhang Xinghan, compared with Su Hanyun, a top student,  , still far from it.  Not to mention that such a beautiful young woman saluted him generously. She was a little dazed for a while and made a big blush.  It took a lot of effort to hold back a sentence: "Where is" Zhang Xinghan also found it funny and couldn't help laughing. He waved to him and said: "Okay, you first wait for Miss Su to go to the communications company dormitory to arrange a place for her. Remember.  I want a single room." "Yes!" Xiao Lizi stood up and responded quickly, walked to the door, and helped Su Hanyun carry the suitcase and left quickly.  Su Hanyun turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan before leaving with Xiao Lizi.  After Su Hanyun left, Zhang Xinghan said to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, from now on, you will temporarily serve as the deputy commander of my security battalion and my personal bodyguard. When the time is right, I will arrange other formal positions for you."  "You don't have any objections, right?" "Thank you for your respect, I'm so grateful. How can I be dissatisfied?" Shen Xingye stood up and saluted.  ……………………………… Dongta Military Airport.  Gao Zhihang led more than 20 combat and bomber aircraft to return home smoothly, after the first batch of fighter planes completed their landing.  Liu Cuigang, deputy captain of the Shenyang Air Force and captain of the first squadron, followed the agreement and led the second batch of mixed bomber groups to take off one after another.  Prepare to continue air strikes and bombings on the Manchuria Railway east of Liaoyang.  As soon as Gao Zhihang and other pilots' cars landed, the ground staff began to get busy, refueling and reloading the planes, and the entire airport became busy. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Liu Cuigang was born in 1909 and is now twenty years old. He is the second best pilot in the Northeast Air Force after Gao Zhihang.  Liu Cuigang piloted a Gao Delong fighter plane, and, escorted by two wingmen, led the entire fleet to fly eastward, covering the sky and the sun.  Then when Liu Cuigang and the others had just flown to the airspace between the lighthouse and Liaoyang, a large number of Japanese fighter planes with plaster flags suddenly appeared from the clouds.  Liu Cuigang looked horrified and quickly maneuvered the fighter plane to raise to meet the enemy. At the same time, he shouted sternly into the radio: "There are enemy planes. All bombers cancel their bombing and return immediately. Fighters will provide full cover!" "Copy that!" Although the Japanese plane suddenly appeared.  , but they didn’t seem to discover Liu Cuigang’s mixed fleet in advance, and the two sides just encountered each other.  After all, at this time, the air forces of both sides were not equipped with radars or even early warning aircraft, and combat and reconnaissance still relied on pilots.?? visual observation.  At this moment, the good training and excellent psychological quality of this group of Chinese pilots, who can be called the most elite of this era, were fully demonstrated.  After receiving Liu Cuigang’s order, all the pilots began to act in a panic. The bombers began to turn around, and the fighter jets, after circling upward, pounced on the Japanese planes, which were also preparing for a fight.  An aerial encounter began. If Zhang Xinghan knew the performance of these air force pilots, he would probably send a grateful message to Marshal Zhang in Peiping, and then go to Marshal Zhang's grave to lay an incense stick to express his gratitude.  Because they left themselves the most elite Chinese Air Force of this era. A large number of them graduated from the French Air Force School and held international pilot diplomas. At this time, they are undoubtedly the most precious military branch.  You must know that even Chiang Kai-shek's Central Air Force was only officially established in 1935 and became combat effective.  And regardless of the size of the fighter planes, the number of pilots cannot be compared with the Northeast Army at this time.  After Liu Cuigang pulled up and turned around, he had already stared at a Japanese Japanese fighter jet that was turning and flying. The aircraft was flying very fast in the air. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese fighter jet had entered the range of Liu Cuigang's heading machine gun.  Liu Cuigang had already seen the sun flag pattern on the wings and belly of the Japanese fighter plane. He made a decisive decision and opened fire immediately.  Two 12.7mm directional machine guns and a 20mm cannon suddenly opened fire, and dense rain of bullets rushed towards the Japanese aircraft like chains of fire in the air.  "Bang, bang, bang" As soon as the Japanese plane turned the corner, a series of machine gun bullets came like rain, leaving the cockpit and nose of the plane full of holes, and the Japanese pilot inside the cockpit was even more beaten.  Became a bloody man.  The out-of-control ** fighter jet suddenly fell downwards at an alarming speed with billowing black smoke.  Not long after, there was a deafening explosion from the ground, and fire and smoke rose into the sky.  At the same time, more than a dozen other pilots also locked fire on the target, and some Japanese aircraft that responded quickly also fired back.  For a moment, bullets crisscrossed the sky, crisscrossing like tongues of fire. From time to time, planes were hit by bullets and fell into smoke, while others were hit by intense firepower and directly volleyed and exploded.  However, without exception, the ones that crashed and exploded were all Japanese planes, because the Gaudelon fighter planes were slightly more advanced than the Japanese Japanese aircraft in terms of performance, and the pilots such as Liu Cuigang were well-trained and had participated in the battle against the Soviet Union.  It can be said that he has rich combat experience in air combat and the battle against the three friends. Therefore, after more than ten minutes of fighting, only one Gaudelon was slightly damaged. Although smoke kept coming from the tail, it could still fly.  And the Japanese had already been shot down and wounded seven of them. They suffered such heavy losses that the remaining dozen or so Japanese planes were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.  Liu Cuigang ordered the damaged fighter planes to return home, and he personally led his comrades in fighter planes to pursue the fleeing Japanese fleet.  PS: To explain, Liu Cuigang is an Air Force anti-Japanese hero as famous as Gao Zhihang in Chinese history. His ancestral home is Su County, Anhui (now Suzhou City). He was born in Changtu, Liaoning in 1913, the year of the Republic of China.  In the original history, this flying hero of the Chinese nation was martyred on October 25, the 26th year of the Republic of China, at the age of 24.  In order to commemorate this great anti-Japanese air force hero, Qiu Feng specially included him in the Northeast Air Force battle line a few years in advance, fighting side by side with Gao Zhihang, soaring in the blue sky, so his age was also fictitious by two years.  In addition, some book friends suggested that when the September 18th Incident broke out, the Northeast Army should have had about 200 to 300 fighter planes outside the customs.  In fact, this is the case. Historically, after Zhang Xueliang took over the Northeast Army, he not only trained pilots and purchased additional fighter planes, but also re-expanded two regular Chinese airports.  They are Huludao Airport and Fuling Airport in the northern suburbs of Shenyang. It is estimated that a considerable number of Northeast Air Force troops are also stationed at Huludao Airport and the Pingjin area.  Therefore, the number of Northeast Army Air Force fighter jets in the Shenyang area in the book is only more than 100, which should be relatively reasonable.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 63: Beiling Airport

    More than a dozen Japanese planes flew eastward in a hurry like bereaved dogs. Liu Cuigang led more than a dozen comrades in the fighter planes to launch a thrilling pursuit of beating the drowned dogs.  Liu Cuigang and more than a dozen pilots were very excited about defeating the Japanese Air Force in this air battle. After all, they are all still passionate young people in their twenties.  Although they are not as calm as the experienced old pilots, they are filled with a fighting spirit that is not afraid of death. They are full of blood and fly into the blue sky after flying the fighter plane, full of fighting spirit, and the blood in their whole body is boiling.  .  "Tap" A pilot piloted a fighter plane and bit a Japanese aircraft. Under a series of machine gun fire, the Japanese aircraft suddenly lost control and fell down in vain with the billowing darkness.  "Hahaha, captain, I shot down another enemy plane! Haha" The young pilot looked particularly excited and reported loudly into the radio.  "Rensheng, you did a great job! Continue the pursuit and send the little Japanese back to Japan!" Liu Cuigang commanded while controlling the fighter plane with a stern expression.  "Received received" Swish, swish a dozen Gaudelon fighter jets chased several Japanese planes and quickly passed over Liaoyang City.  When some Liaoyang people in the city saw this, they all looked up. Many sharp-eyed young people pointed to the sky with great excitement and shouted to people nearby: "Fellows, look, it's our Northeast Air Force" "I saw it, this is  A group of bastards have finally shown up. You should have come out and killed these Japanese devils long ago! " "Hahaha, everyone, look, another devil's plane has been shot, it's smoking, it's dead, little devil!  The ball is dead, hahaha, fuck your eight-generation ancestor, little Japan, it deserves it" Many people on the street raised their heads and said excitedly.  However, not long after, someone shouted: "Fellows, disperse soon, Xiaodongyang's patrol team is coming." The indignant people turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw dozens of Japanese soldiers with guns on their backs at one end of the street.  Run this way.  The people immediately dispersed in a rush. Of course, when they dispersed, they did not forget to greet the little devils and their families in dialects with Northeastern characteristics.  After more than ten minutes of pursuit, Liu Cuigang’s troops finally shot down all the dozen or so Japanese planes they had encountered east of Liaoyang.  However, just as Liu Cuigang was about to lead his team back, nearly twenty Japanese planes suddenly appeared in the sky ahead.  Liu Cuigang was shocked. The plane was going very fast and he couldn't help but meet each other in the air.  Without any hesitation, both sides opened fire one after another. During the battle, Liu Cuigang was surprised to find that most of the twenty or so Japanese planes were bombers.  There are only eight fighter jets.  It turns out that the dozen or so Japanese planes were just the first wave of fighter jets. They were used to explore the path and clear obstacles for the bomber group.  Originally, this tactic of the Japanese army was very correct. Once more than a dozen Japanese planes successfully arrived at Dongta Airport, they could suppress the airport with firepower, forcing the Northeast Air Force to be unable to take off to fight.  Then the bomber group arrived and carried out a devastating aerial bombing without any suspense, finally achieving its strategic goal.  But unfortunately, the first wave of Japanese fighter planes encountered Liu Cuigang's detachment, which was also performing air strikes.  The gap in aircraft performance and pilot level between the two sides caused the Japanese army to be caught off guard and defeated.  During the return flight and escape, it was also due to the performance of the aircraft that it was unable to escape the pursuing enemy. In the end, Liu Cuigang led his troops to catch up and annihilate them.  (Note: The maximum flying speed of the Japanese Type 1 fighter is only more than 300 kilometers per hour, while the flying speed of the Gaudelon fighter is as high as more than 400 kilometers.) Since the Type 9 fighter is not equipped with a wireless communication system, (Type 91  and Type 95, Type 96 and later Type 0), so the news that the first wave of Japanese aircraft groups was defeated was not promptly fed back to the bomber group flying towards Shenyang.  This led to the fact that our own bomber group was also caught off guard and encountered Liu Cuigang's command, which had just won a complete victory.  Although the eight Japanese fighter planes tried their best to block the escort, due to the surprising number and performance of the fighter planes, they were eventually shot down one by one.  “However, Liu Cuigang and the others were unable to continue to pursue and firepower the bombers that turned around and fled in a hurry, because the ammunition they carried had been exhausted due to repeated battles.  Fuel is also about to run out, and we must return immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.  Gritting his teeth, Liu Cuigang ordered angrily through the radio: "Brothers, return immediately." "Captain, the situation is great, so you just withdraw like this?" "Yes, captain, I have no ammunition and I'm piloting the battleship."?The little devil who killed him!  "The wireless intercom sounded the unwilling voices of the red-eyed pilots one after another. Liu Cuigang said coldly in an unquestionable tone: "I repeat, all fighter planes will return immediately and execute the order immediately!  " After saying that, Liu Cuigang took the lead in turning around, and the two wingmen had no choice but to follow Liu Cuigang in the air and began to return. The other fighters also turned around reluctantly. Liu Cuigang was flying smoothly, and Liu Cuigang joked into the intercom:  "Brothers, there is no need to be depressed. There is a long way to go. We have been brilliant enough today. The glory belongs to our first team and to each of you!"  ” ………………………………… The first person to report that the first detachment encountered the Japanese aircraft group was Captain Gao Zhihang. After Gao Zhihang learned of the situation, he personally led more than 20 fighter planes to take off to meet the first detachment, while ordering  The situation was quickly reported to the garrison brigade headquarters in the south of Shenyang City. Su Hanyun, who had just started working, had already put on a military uniform. She walked into the conference room with a hurried look and walked toward Zhang Xinghan, who was meditating in front of the map.  He puffed his chest and saluted: "Brigade, a call has just come from the airport. The first detachment encountered an unknown number of Japanese planes while performing an air raid mission. The two sides have already started a fierce battle. Captain Gao has already led a group of fighter planes to respond.  " "Japanese military aircraft fleet?  " Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, and immediately said to Su Hanyun: "Immediately inform the airport guard team that all anti-aircraft weapons must be ready for combat. Also tell Gao Zhihang that Japanese reinforcements have arrived, and they will fight to seize air supremacy.  We launched an attack on Dongta Military Airport to make him more vigilant and ensure the safety of Dongta Airport no matter what.  "    "yes!  "Su Hanyun happily agreed, saluted, turned around and left. After Su Hanyun left, Zhang Xinghan looked at the map in front of him in deep thought. At this moment, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and a sense of fatigue emerged spontaneously. Since the September 18th Incident, he has been doing everything by himself.  He was really tired from all the work. When he looked up and looked around, Zhang Xinghan suddenly found that he had no one with whom to discuss the sharing of combat plans and many other matters. Looking at the entire Shenyang garrison, Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wang Yicai and others could be the generals.  , but he is not qualified for the position of think tank. With more than seventy or eighty years of knowledge and experience in this world, as well as his prediction of the general direction of history, Zhang Xinghan can be said to be fearless of anyone in the world.  , He is also a human being, not a machine. He also needs talents who can make suggestions for himself and take charge of his own affairs. Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but think of a few suitable candidates, but now that the war is imminent, he has to wait to get their help.  Let’s talk about it later. After putting this method aside for the time being, Zhang Xinghan took out his watch, stared at it and said to himself: “It’s time!  "Zhang Xinghan turned around and shouted. "Yes!  Shen Xingye came in from outside, stood up and said, "What are your orders from the guest?"  " "Take a platoon and follow me to Beiling Airport.  "Zhang Xinghan put away his watch, put on his white gloves and helmet and ordered. "Yes!  "Shen Xingye agreed without any hesitation, turned around and was ordered to assemble his troops. ……………………………………… To the north of Changchun City, more than 150 miles away, is Zhangjiawan (today’s Dehui City).  Li Du's 667th Regiment of the 24th Brigade and the Heilongjiang Cavalry Regiment led by Sabli have arrived in Zhangjiawan. The 676th Regiment of the 27th Brigade of the Zhangjiawan garrison closed the city gates tightly on the orders of brigade commander Ji Xing.  After negotiating for a long time with no results, Li Du immediately ordered the cavalry regiment of the 667th Regiment to join the battle. Not long after, Ding Chao led the three regiments of the **28th Brigade.  , Xing Zhanqing and Li Du also arrived with the main force of their troops, and more than 20,000 people from eight infantry regiments of three ** brigades began to launch fierce attacks on Zhangjiawan. In order to break through Zhangjiawan as soon as possible, they went south to reinforce Shenyang.  After discussion, Ding Chao, Xing Zhanqing and others gathered the artillery directly under the three brigades and used them together. Jixing's 676th Regiment suffered heavy casualties and began to abandon the city and escape with its cavalry regiment.  The cavalry companies directly under each brigade immediately took advantage of the situation and launched a pursuit. In the wilderness, the remaining soldiers of the 676 regiment were defeated by the brave and capable Heilongjiang cavalry soldiers. After passing through the base station, most of the 676 regiment was wiped out and the rest were surrendered.  After capturing Zhangjiawan, Li Du and others continued to march towards Changchun. It took only half a day to rush to the outskirts of Changchun City.When Jixing and Xiqia learned that the main force, the 676th Regiment, had been completely wiped out, they were horrified and quickly transferred the three regiments of Li Guilin's 23rd Brigade from Erdaogouzi, Gongzhuling and other places into Changchun.  At the same time, the military police, gendarmerie and other troops in the city were organized into a regiment and the 676th regiment was rebuilt.  So far, Jixing and Xiqia have assembled two Japanese brigades, six regiments, one Chinese artillery regiment, and several troops directly under the brigades in Changchun City, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people.  ???……………… Beiling Airport in the northern suburbs of Shenyang.  Since this airport was expanded by Zhang Xueliang after the Middle East Road incident, and Dongta Airport is the main airport, Beiling Airport has not been put into use.  It was only used as a reserve airport for the Shenyang Air Force. When the September 18th Incident broke out, Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade withdrew from Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan sent a small force to garrison at Beiling Airport.  At this time, Beiling Airport has been alerted by heavily armed security battalion soldiers, and the searchlights turning back and forth in the dark night are particularly dazzling.  Outside the hangar gate, Shen Xingye personally led several soldiers holding MP18 submachine guns to guard them closely as if facing a powerful enemy.  After about a few hours, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the hangar a little tired.  "Travel seat." Shen Xingye and others quickly stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan rubbed his temples a little tiredly and said: "Let's go back to the brigade headquarters." After finishing speaking, he walked forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said to Shen Xingye: "By the way, when you turn around, you can lead a company of guards yourself."  Come to Beiling Airport to guard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order. If you disobey, you will be shot on the spot!" "Yes!" Although Shen Xingye didn't know what Zhang Xinghan was doing for so long, he immediately stood up and agreed.  PS: Yesterday, the whole town in my hometown had a power outage. It was dark and the temperature was as high as 34 to 5 degrees Celsius. Now that I think about it, the feeling was unbearable. Mosquito bites and high temperature. I carried my son and wife to the village to cool down until eleven o'clock.  The call came about half way through, and I was exhausted, so I went to bed early.  Today there will be three updates of compensation!  Thank you all for your votes and support. The recommendation votes are a bit poor. Please continue to vote and support, giving me the motivation to explode!

    When Zhang Xinghan returned to the headquarters, Shen Xingye returned to Beiling Airport with a guard company.  Walking into the brigade headquarters compound, Gao Zhihang came out with an excited face.  "Brother Ziheng, why are you here? What was the result of the air battle this afternoon?" Zhang Xinghan asked impatiently when he saw Gao Zhihang.  “Brigade, great victory, great victory!” Gao Zhihang said with excitement.  "What's the specific situation?" Zhang Xinghan asked as he walked towards the conference room.  Gao Zhihang suppressed his excitement and recounted the afternoon battle of Liu Cuigang's first unit to Zhang Xinghan from beginning to end.  After listening, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but praise vigorously: "Great, well done, twenty to zero, this result is enough to go down in history." Gao Zhihang nodded in agreement very happily, and suddenly, again  He said with a worried look: "Brigade, although we have achieved a glorious air combat victory today, we don't have much ammunition and fuel. The Japanese have suffered such a big loss now, and they will definitely counterattack crazily in revenge.  It’s not possible without sufficient fuel and ammunition.” Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly and said, “Brother Ziheng, just keep your heart in your stomach. In this way, you can go back to the airport to gather all the pilots and go to Beiling Airport. We are in Beiling.  "Meet at the airport." "Beiling Airport?" Gao Zhihang looked at Zhang Xinghan in confusion: "Where are you going?" "I want to give a big gift to Brother Zi Heng and all the air force officers." Zhang Xinghan pretended to be mysterious.  road.  "A big gift?" "Well, brother Ziheng, there's no need to ask anymore. Everything will be clear when we get to Beiling Airport!" Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements right away." Gao Zhihang nodded in agreement, then turned and left.  It was night outside Changchun City, and Li Du and others commanded Shen's reinforcements to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on Changchun.  For a time, scarlet artillery fire and countless illumination bombs illuminated the entire battlefield outside the city like daylight.  Since Mu Dechang’s 10th Army Artillery Regiment is in Changchun City, the Changchun rebels have an advantage in terms of artillery scale.  Therefore, although the troops assisting the sinking had an advantage in strength, they were unable to achieve any substantial progress in a short period of time.  The battle between the two sides entered a stalemate.  ???……………… Outside the gate of Beiling Airport.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting in the passenger seat of a jeep smoking a cigarette. Shen Xingye and several guards were standing around.  Shen Xingye's eyes moved from time to time following the searchlight, like a vigilant cheetah, alerting the surroundings.  Not long after, the roar of cars and dazzling lights came from the east side of the airport highway.  Seeing this, Shen Xingye immediately said to Zhang Xinghan: "Brigade, they are here." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan took one last puff of the cigarette in his hand, flicked the cigarette butt away, opened the door and got out of the car, straightened his military uniform, and left.  Go to the back of the car and stand with your hands behind your back.  About five or six military trucks arrived one after another. As soon as the lights of the first military truck were turned off, the passenger door opened.  Gao Zhihang jumped down first and strode towards Zhang Xinghan.  "Seat down!" As he approached, Gao Zhihang saluted as usual.  "Are you all here?" Zhang Xinghan asked casually in return.  "Well, they're all here." While the two were talking, more than a hundred pilots from the entire aviation fleet had already got out of the car one after another and were lining up under the command of Liu Cuigang.  "Okay, no need to line up, come with me." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  With Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots walking into the airport, Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye took the lead and walked directly towards the hangar.  When a group of them arrived in front of the hangar, the guards guarding the hangar stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan was accustomed to taking the lead into the hangar, but Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang looked at each other in confusion. How could the airport be so tightly guarded?  Despite doubts, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots followed Zhang Xinghan into the hangar.  After entering the hangar, it was pitch dark. The pilots all looked at each other in confusion, and some even started talking quietly.  At Zhang Xinghan’s signal, a guard next to Shen Xingye turned on the light.  For a time, the huge hangar was filled with lights. Under the illumination of the lights, the darkness disappeared without a trace in an instant.  Where the lights were bright, everyone present, including Gao Zhihang, was shocked by the sight in front of them.  Many pilots almost thought this was a dream and looked dismayed.He rubbed his eyes in belief and opened them again to find that the scene in front of him still existed.  Everyone was stunned, and many pilots were stunned with their mouths hanging open.  Because what appeared in their sight were brand-new new fighters. There were so many that they almost filled the entire hangar. There must be at least hundreds of them!  The reason why it is said to be a new type of fighter is because none of the pilots, including Gao Zhihang, have ever seen such a fighter.  Gao Zhihang took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked: "Brigade, Brigade, what's going on? Where did so many fighter planes come from?" "Brother Ziheng, I discovered this by accident.  It's probably imported from Germany." As he spoke, Zhang Xinghan walked to a BF109 fighter plane and pointed at the German pattern on the belly: "Hey, this is the German swastika flag." Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang.  The others walked carefully to the brand new BF109 fighter plane as if they were in a dream, touched the cold fuselage with trembling hands, and shed tears of excitement.  "Brother Ziheng, I have counted, there are 150 aircraft here, including 100 BF109 fighter planes, 20 Stuka dive bombers, and 30 HE11 tactical bombers." Zhang Xinghan said this  After a pause, he continued to add: "Oh, by the way, I also found a large amount of fuel and ammunition in the warehouse next to the hangar. In addition, the fuel tanks of these fighters have been filled with fuel." Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and others stood there  There was something at a loss next to the BF109 fuselage.  Seeing this, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but said with a smile: "Brother Ziheng, I believe that with these fighter planes, you should be able to defeat the Japanese Air Force without any suspense. Why don't you try it quickly and see if you can control it?" "Yes, try it!"  Only then did Gao Zhihang come to his senses, and immediately turned around and waved to the pilots behind him: "Brothers, hurry up, come and take a look!" "Brothers of the aviation team, you are the defenders of the skies over Shenyang. From now on,  , all the aircraft and ammunition here belong to you. I hope you can make full use of these fighters and use them to defend Shenyang's airspace and seize the air supremacy in Northeast China. From today on, I don't want to see another Japanese aircraft in the sky above Northeast China!  Plane!" Zhang Xinghan shouted at the right time.  PS: There will be a big chapter before twelve o'clock, please vote for recommendation!  !  !

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 65: The Eve of the Decisive Battle in the Air

    As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, the pilots became excited and rushed towards the brand-new fighters.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang stood up and solemnly assured Zhang Xinghan: "Please rest assured, I am a low-ranking official, but I am still alive. There is no trace of Japanese planes in the sky above the Northeast!" Zhang Xinghan nodded happily, turned around and motioned for Gao Zhihang to board the plane.  .  It is no exaggeration to say that these BF109 fighters were the most advanced fighters in the world in 1931. The Stuka bombers and HE11 bombers were definitely among the top bombers, bar none.  But everything remains true to its roots, and airplanes are no exception. The improvement of airplanes lies in their performance, and the actual control is basically the same.  Therefore, Gao Zhihang and the pilots of the aviation team quickly became confident in flying this new fighter aircraft.  Of course, the actual operation of some functions of the new aircraft cannot be verified and practiced until it takes off.  "How about it, Brother Zi Heng, can this plane fly into the sky tomorrow?" Zhang Xinghan asked, looking up at Gao Zhihang in the cockpit who was already in love with the new aircraft.  "It's not a big problem. My brothers and I will study it carefully tonight, and we should be able to take off for combat tomorrow!" Gao Zhihang said excitedly.  "Well, you and Captain Liu will take everyone here to study and familiarize themselves with the new aircraft. I will go back to the brigade headquarters first." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Well, okay." Gao Zhihang nodded and continued to fiddle with the cockpit console.  Liu Cuigang slapped a military salute to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan returned the salute with a smile, turned around and left with Shen Xingye.  ????……………… Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invasion force in Lushun.  Although it was late at night, the Kwantung Army headquarters was still brightly lit.  In an office located to the east of the headquarters, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji stood side by side with solemn expressions.  In front of them, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shige, sat behind his desk with a sullen face, smoking a cigarette impatiently.  "Your Excellency, Commander, the losses of the aviation force have been calculated. In the afternoon air battle, the imperial army lost a total of twenty-one ** fighter jets, four type 93 light bombers, and many other bombers were damaged to varying degrees." Ishihara  Wan'er lowered his head and reported all the battle losses.  Even though he was mentally prepared, Honjo Shige couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in disbelief: "Nani? We lost nearly thirty fighter planes in the first battle?" "Yes, General." Ishihara Wanji looked sad.  nodded.  Honjo Shige took a breath of air and said, "It's a shame. This battle is really a shame for the Imperial Army. The base camp sent us less than 150 fighter planes to assist us, but we lost more than a quarter in one battle. It's simply  "What a shame!" "Your Excellency, the Chinese people often say that victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism, and a single defeat is nothing. I believe that the imperial army should concentrate all its air power to fight to the death with the Chinese Air Force in Shenyang tomorrow, and win the battle in one battle to gain air supremacy."  !" Itagaki Seishiro said with a solemn tone.  "Concentrate all the fighter planes for a decisive battle?" Honjo Shige was a little wavering.  "Your Majesty General, please do not hesitate any longer. According to the intelligence obtained by me in advance, the maximum number of combat aircraft of the Northeastern China Army in Shenyang is more than a hundred. We can no longer carry out stupid refueling attacks, but should concentrate all  Aviation fighters, win the air supremacy in Northeast China with numerical superiority at all costs!" Itagaki Seishiro advised.  Honjo Shige turned his attention to Ishihara Kanji. Ishihara Kanji couldn't miss the opportunity and took the opportunity to persuade: "General, I think Itagaki-kun's suggestion is very correct. According to the battle report of the air force, our army's ** fighter jets are superior in performance."  "We will be slightly behind the Chinese fighters. In this case, we can only concentrate all the fighters and win with the advantage of numbers." "Of course, the general also suggested that the general immediately send a request to the base camp to send more new fighter jets to prepare for any eventuality.  "Ishihara-kun, most of the remaining fighter models in our air force are Type 91 Nakajima fighters. They are much more advanced than Type 1. I think they should be enough to deal with the Chinese Gaudron French fighters." Seishiro Itagaki suddenly said.  road.  "It's hard to say, but just in case, we need to increase the land-based aviation force." Ishihara smiled.  After pondering for a moment, Honjo Shige nodded happily and decided: "What Mr. Ishihara said makes sense. I immediately sent a message to the Army Ministry for help. I also notified all the Imperial Air Force pilots in the Air Force to attack tomorrow and fight to the death with the Northeast Army Air Force! Seize it at all costs."  Air supremacy! "Hai!" Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro responded at the same time, then turned around and left.  ……………………………… West Lake Jiang Garden.  &nbsp;This is a secret prison of Jiang Gong, specially used to detain political celebrities and social figures who are against Jiang Gong.  In a small wing in the park, a legendary figure in modern Chinese history is imprisoned.  He once studied in the Japanese Army Sergeant School, and together with Cai E, the hero who defended the country against Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Xiaohuai ranked among the top three graduates of the Army Sergeant School this time, and took away the sword gifted by the Emperor of Japan from more than 300 Japanese classmates.  After returning to China, he later served as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy. Nowadays, important officials from the Republic of China and the Communist Party of China are all among his students. Chen Mingshu, Tang Shengzhi, Fang Shengtao, Liu Wendao, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, etc. all studied under him.  It is no exaggeration to say that he has disciples all over the world.  Since he returned from his studies in 1905 and abandoned his writing to join the army, he has been successively hired as a guest of honor by Yuan Shikai, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang and other Chinese warlords of the time. He was treated with great courtesy and trusted as a think tank.  He is one of China’s Three Heroes, Jiang Fangzhen, also known as Jiang Baili, the founder of the Theory of National Defense. His Theory of National Defense later became the guiding principle for the National Government’s overall strategy in the War of Resistance.  Historically, because Tang Shengzhi failed in his rebellion against Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Baili, a teacher, was suspected by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who also had the same surname, and was arrested and imprisoned.  He was not released until the end of 1931.  The arrival of Zhang Xinghan failed to change this situation. Mr. Jiang Baili is still imprisoned in Jiangyuan, with daily newspapers and history books as his companions.  Fortunately, Mr. Jiang allowed his children to visit him several times a month to relieve Jiang Baili's depression.  In the side room, Mr. Jiang Baili was holding the latest newspapers and periodicals declared in Shanghai that his third daughter Jiang Ying brought in the afternoon, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.  (Mrs. Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen) Almost all the headlines and homepages of newspapers and periodicals carried one piece of news, that is, the September 18th Incident that had just broken out.  Jiang Baili, who had never had a good impression of Fengjun, heard that when the incident broke out, he told his daughter who came to visit in grief that Marshal Zhang would not rise up to resist in order to preserve his own strength, and the Northeast would fall.  However, the next development of the situation exceeded Jiang Baili's prediction, and it can even be said that it completely subverted his inner view of the Northeast Army.  He never thought that there was a young genius like Zhang Xinghan in the Northeast Army.  After being shocked, Jiang Baili began to have a strong interest in Zhang Xinghan, a national hero who emerged from nowhere. Especially, after seeing Zhang Xinghan's tragic decision, once the war started, our Chinese nation will not distinguish between north and south, no matter how old it is.  Young, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and fight the war!  slogan, I couldn't help but have the idea of ??going to the Northeast to meet Zhang Xinghan.  He wanted to see what kind of person he was, who could turn the tide and help the building before it collapsed like a myth.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 66: Sudden Heavy Rain

    When Zhang Xinghan returned to the headquarters, it was already late at night. After a busy day, he went to bed early.  It was speechless all night. Just at five in the morning the next day, the sky was gray, and Zhang Xinghan woke up from his sleep and washed it simply.  The cooking class has brought breakfast, a bowl of millet porridge, two steamed buns and some pickled dried radish.  Zhang Xinghan hurriedly finished his breakfast, then left the headquarters with Shen Xingye and a guard company, and drove towards Beiling Airport.  At Beiling Airport, more than a hundred pilots including Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang stayed up all night with excitement, staying up all night to get familiar with the new fighter aircraft, and all of them couldn't put it down.  And just when Zhang Xinghan was driving out of the city from the north gate of Shenyang, the gray sky was filled with lightning and thunder, the wind and clouds were changing, and it didn't take long for heavy rain to fall.  "Go back to the city." Zhang Xinghan blocked the dense rain with his hands and ordered Shen Xingye.  Shen Xingye immediately braked and turned around, and a guard company of infantrymen following the jeep turned around and returned to Shenyang in the rain.  Back at the headquarters, before Zhang Xinghan had time to change into a clean military uniform, Su Hanyun suddenly greeted him: "Bridge, a call from Beiling Airport." "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded, took off the helmet on his head and strode in  He walked into the war room and picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Zhang Xinghan." Gao Zhihang's voice came from the phone: "Brigade seat, it rained heavily today. All planes will definitely not be able to take off. I plan to stay at Beiling Airport to continue research.  Do you think it's okay to fly a new aircraft?" Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully, "No problem, I will arrange for your meals to be delivered to you." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan hung up the phone and took off his already wet military jacket.  , Guard Battalion Commander Guo Zhong quickly helped pour a cup of hot water.  After taking the water vat, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the war room, stood under the eaves and looked at the pouring rain and the sky filled with dark clouds and lightning, feeling particularly heavy.  This heavy rain has both advantages and disadvantages for the Shenyang garrison. Although the heavy rain will delay the progress of the Japanese army in repairing the damaged railway, it will also delay the air raids of the Shenyang Air Force.  “However, the new fighter jets have just been distributed to the air force, so it would be beneficial to give them more time to become familiar with the operation.  However, this heavy rain may have a big impact on Li Du and other troops assisting Shenyang.  Compared with Zhang Xinghan, who was in a heavy mood, Seishiro Itagaki, who was hundreds of miles away, was a little angry. A sudden heavy rain fell in Liaoning, which directly affected the decisive battle between the Imperial Army Air Force and the Shenyang Northeast Army Air Force.  But he didn’t know that this heavy rain temporarily prevented the aviation unit he had high hopes from being wiped out, thereby losing air supremacy in the Northeast.  "Bagaya Road, Bagaya Road, damn God, how could there be a sudden heavy rain!" In a war room at the Lushun headquarters, Itagaki Seishiro said angrily while looking at the pouring rain outside the window.  Ishihara Wanji also said with a solemn expression: "Such a heavy rain will also have a great impact on our imperial army's repair of the damaged railway in the Liaoyang section." …………………… Outside Changchun City, the troops assisting Shenyang  Provisional Joint Command.  Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others also hissed and sighed at the rainy weather outside.  After a fierce battle in the middle of the night yesterday, the 24th, 26th, and 28th brigades of the *** all suffered varying degrees of casualties, but they were unable to break through the Changchun rebels' defense line.  The main reason is that the rebels have an entire artillery regiment. In addition, Jixing's 27th Brigade and Li Guilin's 23rd Brigade also have artillery directly under the brigade headquarters.  Therefore, the rebels had an absolute advantage in the scale of artillery, causing huge casualties to Li and Du's attacking troops.  "Hey, how could there be a sudden heavy rain?" Li Du looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but sigh: "Shenyang is in urgent need of reinforcements now. We should open a road to help Shenyang as soon as possible and rush to help Shenyang. But this rain will have a huge impact on our siege troops."  It will be very disadvantageous. " "Brother Zhichu is right. The soldiers' vision is blurred due to the heavy rain. How can we shoot with guns? If we attack by force, our siege troops will definitely suffer heavy losses."  Ding Chao borrowed Li Du's words and said: "So, I suggest that we suspend the attack and wait until the rain passes and the sky clears before making a decision." "Two officers, we must not stop the attack. Now our army with Zhangjiawan  We are on the verge of victory and our morale is high. We should strike while the iron is hot and attack Changchun with all our might. We must not give them any chance to breathe. If we stop the attack now, the roads will be muddy after the rain and the weather clears, making it even more difficult for us to attack the city.  "Sabli, the commander of the cavalry regiment, suddenly said.  "But what Brigadier Ding said is not unreasonable. The heavy rain is spreading and the soldiers' sight is blocked, so their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced." Xing Zhanqing said worriedly.  “?If we attack from the sky, our sight will be blocked not only by us, but also by the defenders on top of the city.  "Sabuli analyzed. Everyone did not say much, but looked at Li Du, waiting for him to make a decision. Li Du pondered for a long time and said decisively: "Captain Sa is right, we must not give the rebels a breather.  The opportunity, Brigadier Ding.  Brigadier Xing, what do you think?  " "Brother Zhichu, you can fight as long as you want. Lao Xing will listen to you.  "Xing Zhanqing expressed his position, "Ding Chao is scheming. Seeing this, he could only nod his head and said: "In that case, let's continue the attack."  "    "good.  Li Du immediately turned around and shouted to the door: "Commander!"  "    "have!  "A messenger came in in response. "Pass my order, each regiment continues to attack, artillery cover!  "    "yes!  ” ………………… Time flies by in the afternoon. Li Du and other regiments launched several fierce attacks on the Changchun defenders despite heavy rain. Although they failed to successfully break through the defenders’ defense lines, they also caused relatively serious damage to the rebels.  Huge casualties. In Changchun City, the City Defense Headquarters said to Xixia with a solemn face: "Sir, the offensive of the Shen Army is too fierce and our army has suffered heavy casualties. It is not a long-term solution to continue like this. You have to think quickly.  Method.  " "Brother Xinshan, don't be anxious. We have plenty of food, grass and ammunition. Although we are slightly at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, our artillery still has the advantage, and the imperial army will come to help soon, so please hold on for a few more days, brother Xinshan.  On that day, after the imperial army's reinforcements arrived and destroyed Li Ding's bandit army, Xicha decided to ask for credit for Brother Xinshan!  "Xiqia pretended to be calm and comforted Li Guilin. "Yeah.  "Li Guilin nodded helplessly and left. "Brother Gemin, although it is not a big problem to hold off Li Ding and other troops for a period of time with the troops in our city, but now that there is a sudden heavy rain, will the Japanese be forced to postpone the attack on Shenyang?  Woolen cloth?  "After Li Guilin left, Jixing said with a worried look: "If the Japanese delay in attacking Shenyang, will Zhang Xinghan send troops north to attack Changchun with Li Ding and other troops?  " Xiqia said disapprovingly: "Zhang Xinghan shouldn't dare to do this, right?  It should be noted that his Shenyang garrison brigade has less than 10,000 people and is not enough to protect itself. How can he dare to divide his troops to attack Changchun?  " "It's not impossible. Since the September 18th Incident, he first wiped out a Japanese garrison with one battalion, and then went deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army's position and eliminated the 29th Infantry Regiment that was attacking Shenyang.  The headquarters finally defeated nearly 10,000 Japanese troops with a few thousand troops. It can be seen that Zhang Xinghan was not only extremely courageous, but also had extraordinary tactical literacy and strategic vision.  If the Japanese delay in attacking and Li Du's reinforcements are blocked in Changchun, and under such circumstances, once he has the idea of ??risking dividing his forces to attack Changchun, then our situation will be very bad.  "Jixing analyzed. After listening to Jixing's analysis, Xiqia's brows began to frown involuntarily: "If this is really the case, we really have to think of ways to be just in case.  " "Brother Gemin, the best way is to notify the Japanese as soon as possible and ask them to send troops to attack Shenyang as soon as possible so that Zhang Xinghan has no time to worry about anything else, so that we can be in an invincible position.  "Jixing said. "Can the Japanese listen to us?  "Xiqia was a little worried. "The Japanese are not fools. If Changchun falls and we are wiped out, then Li Du's reinforcements can support Shenyang. This will be extremely detrimental to them, so they will definitely agree to send troops.  "Jixing said very confidently. "Okay, I'll send a message to Commander Benzhuang Shige immediately.  "Xiqia nodded with determination. "Xiqia's telegram was quickly sent to Honjo Shige. After reading the telegram, Honjo Shige immediately called for Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro. "  Ishihara-kun, Itagaki-kun, what do you think?  " Honjo Shige asked after seeing the two read the telegram one by one. Ishihara Wan'er was the first to speak: "Your Excellency, General, I believe that Xiqia's concerns are reasonable. Zhang Xinghan is indeed different from ordinary China commanders.  In the last battle of Shenyang, it is not difficult to see that this person is very courageous and cunning. He has a strong ability to accept and apply new things and is good at seizing opportunities. If we delay the attack on Shenyang, then Xiqia's worries are very likely to come true.  Really, that would be extremely detrimental to our Kwantung Army.  " "Well, I agree with Mr. Ishihara. Now that Shenyang is isolated and helpless, it is the best time for us to capture it.  "Itagaki Seishiro nodded in agreement. "However, the damaged railway in the Liaoyang section has not yet been completely repaired. It is raining heavily and the roads are muddy, which will inevitably affect the movement of the Imperial Army's large forces, and the air force is still unable to take off to assist in the battle.  "Benzhuang Fan hesitated and said worriedly. "Your Excellency, General, we can transport the troops to Liaoyang by train."Finally, the large forces advanced towards Shenyang on foot. As for the air force, the Chinese air force was unable to take off, so we did not suffer.  "Ishihara smiled and said. "Ishihara-kun is right. The heavy rain now brings some trouble to the imperial army's march, but it will also affect the Chinese people's construction of fortifications. It is more likely that the imperial army will relax their vigilance because of such weather.  If you can launch an attack suddenly, you will surely win in one battle!  "Itagaki Seishiro followed up and analyzed. " Honjo Shige pondered for a long time, and finally stood up suddenly and made up his mind: "Attack, order the 2nd, 6th, and 20th divisions to advance to Shenyang immediately. This time, we must capture Shenyang and capture Zhang Xinghan alive.  Apologetic!  " "Hai, the general is wise!  "Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro suddenly lowered their heads at the same time.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 67: The Young Marshal Stirred Up the Trouble

    Peiping, Marshal's Mansion.  It was noon, and Shaoshuai Zhang was dining with Miss Zhao Si in the restaurant.  The adjutant Chen Dazhang suddenly came from outside in a hurry, stood up and saluted to Marshal Zhang, and said: "Young Marshal, I would like to see you, Chief of Staff." "Oh, I understand, you go first." Marshal Zhang nodded pretending to be calm.  nodded.  After Chen Dazhang was ordered to leave, Marshal Zhang apologized to Miss Zhao Si: "Qixia, Chief of Staff Rong is here in a hurry. There must be something urgent. You eat first, and I'll come back when I'm gone." "Well, okay,  Han Qing's military affairs are important, so go ahead." Miss Zhao Si nodded in agreement.  After saying that, he stood up and walked to the clothes rack to help Marshal Zhang bring over his general jacket.  "The weather has started to get cold recently, be careful to catch a cold." After helping Marshal Zhang put on his coat, Miss Zhao Si said softly with concern.  "Yes, I know." Marshal Zhang kissed Miss Zhao Si on the forehead, then turned and left.  After leaving the restaurant, Marshal Zhang changed his calmness and hurriedly walked towards the conference room.  When he arrived, Rong Zhen was pacing back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, waiting.  Hearing the sound of footsteps, Rong Zhen looked up quickly. When he saw Marshal Zhang, he quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Young Marshal." Zhang Xueliang waved his hand casually and asked eagerly: "How is it? Did it succeed?" Rong Zhen shook his head with a very bitter look on his face.  Shaking his head: "It's a humble job and incompetent. I sent two of the best warriors we had left in Shenyang City, but that bastard Zhang Xinghan still escaped. A skilled man saved him." "This bastard."  The life of this thing is quite high." Marshal Zhang was immediately annoyed when he heard this. He sat down and lit a cigarette: "What's the situation outside the customs now?" "The Japanese are unwilling to fail and have transferred two soldiers from China and North Korea.  The reinforcements of this division are preparing to attack Shenyang again. In order to resist, Zhang Xinghan has expanded his troops in Shenyang. His strength has now expanded to nearly 10,000 people, and he is currently stepping up the construction of defenses. " "By the way, Gao Zhihang was ordered to lead the aviation team yesterday.  An air attack was carried out on the Liaoyang section of the South Manchuria Railway, and then they encountered the Japanese air force and won a 20-0 victory," said Rong Zhen.  "Damn, this Gao Zhihang actually dared to disobey orders. I asked him to evacuate to Huludao, but he turned a deaf ear and ignored me." When Marshal Zhang heard about Gao Zhihang, he became furious.  Seeing this, Rong Zhen immediately took the opportunity to say: "There is one more thing. I don't know whether to talk about my humble position." "What is it? Tell me!" Zhang Xiaoliu, who was upset, said without thinking.  "Two days ago, a group of students from the Yanjing campus left the customs and went to Shenyang to join the army at Zhang Xinghan's call. When passing through Jinzhou, Wang Yizhe, commander of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, and Zhao Zhenfan, chief of staff, sent troops to escort these students to Xinmin City.  Zhang Xinghan personally led the cavalry to take these students to Shenyang," Rong Zhen said with a sinister look in his eyes.  His purpose is very clear. Wang Yizhe is Zhang Xinghan's prospective father-in-law. Zhang Xinghan has become Zhang Xiaoliu's biggest worry. He wants to get rid of him quickly. He wants to bring down Wang Yizhe, who has repeatedly protected Zhang Xinghan.  However, Rong Zhen obviously underestimated Zhang Xiaoliu’s regard for Wang Yizhe.  After Zhang Xiaoliu heard this, he was not as furious as Rong Zhen imagined, but changed the subject without any reaction: "Is there anything unusual about our army in Jihei Province?" Rong Zhen was a little discouraged, but he had no choice but to answer.  : "Zhang Xinghan issued a letter to the compatriots in the Northeast a few days ago. You must have read it, Marshal. The letter to the compatriots has been sent out. Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and others immediately assembled their troops and responded actively. At present, Li Du has united  Ding Chao, Xing Zhanqing and others gathered more than 30,000 horses and rushed towards Shenyang to help. However, in Changchun, they were blocked by the 27th and 23rd brigades headed by Xi Qia, Chief of Staff of Jilin Province. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.  "Xiqia, Jixing and Li Guilin?" Marshal Zhang was surprised and asked, "Why did they intercept Li Duding's troops?"  "Clear" Rong Zhen said hesitantly, not sure, "However, if Marshal you didn't order them to intercept Ding Li and other troops, then they may have colluded with the Japanese." "Damn it.  You guys, Xi Qia and Jixing are both leftovers from the previous dynasty, so it’s okay to collude with the Japanese. How come he, Li Guilin, is also colluding with them?" Zhang Xueliang roared angrily.  It turns out that during the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, Li Guilin, in order to cover the retreat of large troops, led his troops to fight fiercely with the Zhili army after breaking up, and made great military exploits.  The reason why Zhang and his son entrusted him with important tasks was to check and balance the monitoring of Jixing and Xiang in Changchun.He contacted these remnants of the royalist faction, but he never thought that when the current situation changed, Li Guilin would actually join forces with Xiqia Jixing and others.  How could he not be angry?  "Young Marshal, please don't get angry. The situation outside the customs is complicated and confusing. Zhang Xinghan has his own troops. If he is to defend Shenyang and defeat the Japanese, based on the Shenyang Arsenal, within three years, the three eastern provinces will no longer be owned by the Young Marshal.  "Rong Zhen said with ulterior motives.  "What do you mean by that?" Marshal Zhang looked at Rong Zhen with some displeasure.  "Young Marshal Mingjian, Zhang Xinghan now has a high reputation in the hearts of the people across the country due to his outstanding performance in the defense of Shenyang, especially in the Northeast region. From Ma Zhanshan, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Ding Chao and others  The Marshal agreed and led his troops to leave the garrison privately and rush south to rescue Shenyang. Their intentions are really intriguing. Just imagine, if Zhang Xinghan had the help of these reinforcements and the air force, he would definitely be able to hold Shenyang and defeat the Japanese army.  Defeated, Zhang Xinghan has gained a foothold in Shenyang and will divide the three eastern provinces with Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and others. The young marshal will completely lose control of the three eastern provinces. " "And" "And what?" Zhang Xiaoliu saw Rong.  Zhen Zhen asked, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.  "And Wang Yizhe, commander of the **7th Brigade, is also Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law, so the young marshal has to guard against him." Rong Zhen said slyly.  "If they dare to do this, I will personally lead my troops out of the border and annihilate them all in one fell swoop." Marshal Zhang became furious, slapped the table and roared.  "Young Marshal, the situation in North China is also unstable at the moment. It is really difficult for the main force of our army to escape. However, I have a way to avoid the above situation." Rong Zhen took the opportunity to say.  "What can I do? Tell me what's going on?" Marshal Zhang naturally knows what is going on in North China right now. His friends, the Three Old Minions, Yan Xishan's 100,000 Jin-Sui Army, and Song Zheyuan's tens of thousands of Northwest Army are all looking at him with eager eyes. He really wants to mobilize the hundreds of thousands of elite Northeast Army.  Once we return outside the customs, the situation in North China will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.  That’s why he placed his hope in Rong Zhen, the chief of staff.  Rong Zhen walked up to Zhang Xiaoliu pretending to be mysterious, and whispered his plan in his ear.  Zhang Xiaoliu frowned after hearing this and said hesitantly: "Isn't this not good? Isn't it an advantage for the Japanese?" "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I believe that if Shenyang is occupied by Zhang Xinghan, the young marshal will never return to Shen  On that day, because he had become an anti-Japanese hero, the young marshal wanted to take back Shenyang, so he had no name for it. If the Japanese occupied it, the young marshal sent troops to recover the lost territory. The two are completely different in nature," Rong Zhen analyzed.  .  "But once Shenyang is lost, how easy is it to take it back from the Japanese?" Apparently after the defeat on the Middle East Road, Zhang Xiaoliu already had some phobia against powerful countries like Japan and Russia.  "Young Marshal Mingjian, we can wait until Zhang Xinghan and the Kwantung Army are both injured and defeated and killed, and then take the opportunity to send troops. In this way, we can not only solve Zhang Xinghan's personal problem, but also regain Shenyang and improve the Young Marshal's reputation and prestige. It really kills two birds with one stone.  "Rong Zhen patiently weighed the pros and cons and analyzed it.  PS: This book will be on the shelves on July 5th.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 68: The Situation Turns Rapidly (Part 1)

    In the afternoon, heavy rainstorms continued in the northeastern Liaoning and Jilin provinces. The heavy rains have lasted for nearly a day.  The roads in Liaoji and Jilin provinces have begun to become muddy.  After a fierce battle for most of the day, water was up to the knees outside Changchun City, which had a serious impact on the siege troops.  Reinforcements** 28th Brigade Headquarters.  Brigadier Ding Chao was sitting unhappy in the brigade headquarters smoking, when an adjutant suddenly walked in mysteriously holding a message.  Before Ding Chao could ask, the adjutant came over and whispered: "Come on, Marshal Zhang is calling." "What?" Ding Chao was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he asked anxiously: "What are your instructions, Marshal?"  "The adjutant did not speak, but handed the message in his hand to Ding Chao.  Ding Chao took the message and opened it and read it quickly. His face changed for a while and he said hesitantly: "Now Harbin is guarded by Zhao Zhenhe, deputy commander of the 24th Brigade of the Communist Party of China. If we forcefully retreat, we can certainly avoid losses, but we will inevitably end up with Li Du.  "If you fall out, don't we have nowhere to go?" "Brigade, it's raining continuously, and the cost of attacking Changchun is too high. If we continue like this, our 28th Brigade will be finished. Now that we have the commander's telegram, we  You can tell Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others so that they don't dare to stop us," the adjutant suggested.  "Young Marshal can't send this retreat message to just me." A hint of cunning flashed in Ding Chao's eyes, and he said to the adjutant: "In this case, let's stay put for now and wait until I see how Li Du and Xing Zhanqing react."  …………………… The headquarters of the coalition forces assisting Shenzhou and the headquarters of the 24th ** Brigade.  Li Du put down the message in his hand with a heavy heart, lit a cigarette and started smoking with a frown. He couldn't figure it out. Marshal Zhang had hundreds of thousands of elite troops. He first ordered the garrison in Liao Province not to resist. Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan turned the tide.  .  But now Shenyang is in crisis again, and it's very critical. It's fine that he doesn't send troops to reinforce, but he actually wants to lead his troops to withdraw to Yilan. Li Du really doesn't understand why. As the actual leader of the three eastern provinces, why does he do this?  " In addition to being confused, Li Du was also completely disappointed with Marshal Zhang. Just when he was frustrated, Xing Zhanqing, commander of the 26th Brigade of the **, hurriedly walked into the headquarters. "Brother Kuijiu, what's the matter?  thing?  Li Du stood up and asked.  what to do?  " Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "I also received the Young Marshal's retreat order.  "    "What?  Did you receive it too?  "  I really don’t know what he thinks!  " Li Du was thinking about how to comfort him when footsteps sounded again outside. He and Xing Zhanqing turned around and looked up. Ding Chao had already walked in with his adjutant. "Brother Jiechen, you are here too.  "Li Du greeted politely. Ding Chao walked up to the two of them with a serious face and asked tentatively: "Brother Zhichu, brother Kuijiu, have you received the young marshal's telegram?  "  !  " Ding Chao disagreed and turned to Li Du and asked: "Zhichu, what do you think of this?  " Li Du did not answer, but instead asked: "Brother Jiechen, where are you?  What are your plans?  " "Since the young marshal has given orders, as soldiers, we should obey them. After all, this is our bounden duty.  "Ding Chao said deliberately. "What about Shenyang?  Can we still save him?  "Xing Zhanqing was immediately anxious upon hearing this. "Shenyang is in urgent need of rescue, but the Marshal has ordered us here. As soldiers from the Northeast, how can we disobey the Marshal's order?  "Ding Chao said hypocritically. "If we don't reinforce Shenyang, then Shenyang City will most likely fall into the hands of the Japanese army. How serious the consequences will be, have you ever thought about it, Brother Jiechen?  "Li Du said. Ding Chao fell into silence after hearing this. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Ding has a way, I don't know if it is feasible or not.  "    "any solution?  Brother Ding, please speak quickly.  "Xing Zhanqing was impatient and urged. "You two, it is raining continuously in large areas in Liao and Jilin provinces, and the roads are muddy. Not to mention that we are blocked in Changchun. Even if we capture Changchun at this time, if the large army wants to reinforce Shenyang,  It won't be possible to arrive in a short while.  " Ding Chao paused after saying this. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of interrupting, he continued: "Instead of doing this, we might as well ask Commander Sa to lead his cavalry regiment around Changchun. The cavalry is coming and going like this.??, and with our main force here, we don't have to worry about the rear at all. We can travel twice as fast as we did and rush to Shenyang. We will definitely reach Shenyang in less than two days.  Our three brigades can also take the opportunity to return to Harbin and rest for a while. It is not too late to make plans after the weather clears and the road has cleared. This can solve Shenyang's urgent needs without disobeying the commander's military orders. It is the best of both worlds. I don't know what you two think.  How about next?  "  , it is feasible to send a cavalry regiment to bypass Changchun and rush to Shenyang, but withdrawing to Harbin, Li thinks it is definitely not possible.  " "Brother Zhichu?  Why can't we withdraw to Harbin?  Do you want to disobey the young commander's military order?  "Ding Chao was a little angry. Li Du met Ding Chao's slightly resentful eyes and said righteously: "Brother Jiechen, as the ancients said, when generals are outside, military orders will be ignored. Today, the invaders intend to devour our territory.  In the three provinces, the army is besieging Shenyang. As soldiers from the Northeast, we should lend a helping hand and join forces with the Shenyang defenders to fight against the enemy. The young marshal is willing to abandon the three provinces in the East and cruelly abandons 30 million Northeastern elders. His military order, starting from today,  Li will never dare to accept it!  "    "you?  !  "Ding Chao pointed at Li Du angrily but hesitated, and finally walked away angrily. ……………………… In Changchun City, the 23rd Brigade Headquarters. Li Guilin’s adjutant was very vigilant and handed over a copy of the order from the 23rd Brigade.  The urgent telegram from Peiping was handed over to him: "Brigade, Young Marshal, urgent telegram.  "The adjutant explained. "Who?  Marshal?  "Li Guilin was shocked and stood up quickly. The adjutant nodded, and Li Guilin opened the message with a complicated mood. "This is Brother Xinshan. In the 13th year of the Republic of China, in order to cover the safe retreat of the main force of our Fengjun Army, I personally led the first brigade in Machang.  Fighting against the Zhizhi Army, Han Qing always remembers it as if it was yesterday.  When my father was alive, he always remembered his brother's loyalty and appointed him as the commander of the 23rd Brigade of the Communist Party of China. He wanted to rely on him as a Honggu to monitor and contain Ji Xing and Xiqia.  Brother, remember the old friendship and never do anything that is detrimental to national loyalty. Now the situation in Shenyang is complicated and confusing. Brother should lead his officers and soldiers to stick to Changchun. When the time is right, Han Qing will personally lead the main force of our Northeast Army back to Shen. By then, I hope,  My brother can be the internal correspondent for Han Qing, control the defense of Changchun, and guard against Xi Qia and Ji Xing.  Zhang Hanqing was born in Peking on September 28, 2019.  " After Li Guilin read Marshal Zhang's heartfelt and heartfelt message, he recalled the Zhang family's kindness and importance to him in the past, and burst into tears. He cried bitterly and knelt down facing south: "Young Marshal, I am sorry for the promotion and love given by you and the Marshal.  .  "……………………………………………………………… Outside the city, Ding Chao was so angry that he took his adjutant back to his brigade headquarters. He took out a letter he had prepared and said to the adjutant.  : "You enter the city immediately and deliver this letter to Xiqia in my name.  "    "yes!  "The adjutant took the order and left. Ding Chao gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Li Du, you are stubborn and stubborn. You forced me to do this.  " He can't go back to Harbin, and Marshal Zhang ordered all the troops who were supporting Shenyang to retreat. The meaning is very clear. " The strength is not good or bad, and he has to disobey the order and rush to help Shenyang. Ding Chaozhou will not take the risk with him. At present, there are Xiqia Jixing and others in Changchun leading the troops  Hold on, it's hard to get out in a hurry. Under these adverse circumstances, in Ding Chao's opinion, Zhang Xinghan is definitely doomed, and Shenyang will definitely fall. PS: Today's condition is not good, and it's troublesome.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 69: The Situation Turns Rapidly (Part 2) First update

    In Changchun City, the rebel headquarters.  Ji Xing hurried to the headquarters and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Xi, why are you looking for me so urgently?"  Brother Pei, please take a look." Jixing took the letter and looked at Xiqia in confusion and asked, "What is this?" "**This is a letter sent to me by Ding Chao, commander of the 28th Brigade.  "Xiqia replied.  "Ding Chao?" Ji Xing opened the letter hesitantly.  "What do you think, Brother Ji?" Xiqia asked after seeing him finish reading.  "The credibility is not high. What if it is a trap?" Jixing asked worriedly.  "Jixing's worries are not unreasonable. It's raining heavily now and the roads are muddy. Ding Chao, Li Du and others see that they can't attack by force. It's not impossible to use this strategy to lure our army out of the city." Xi Qia nodded and said: "As per me.  Look, it's better for us to stand still and hold on. Anyway, Ben Zhuangfan has already called back, and the main force of the Kwantung Army has moved towards Shenyang and will be approaching Shenyang City soon." The old and cunning Ji Xing pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother Xi, Ding Chao.  According to the letter, it was not stated that Sabli's cavalry regiment would be transferred to Shenyang, and it was agreed to lead the 28th Brigade to attack Li Du and Xing Zhanqing Brigade at two o'clock in the morning? " "Yes, what do you mean?" Xiqia asked?  road.  "Send additional scouts to closely monitor the movements of the brigades outside the city. If Ding Chao really leads his troops to attack the second brigade of Li and Xing, we can delay the attack for half an hour. When they are both injured, we can attack outside the city and reap the benefits.  !" Jixing said with a hint of evil in his eyes.  Xiqia fell into hesitation.  "Brother Xi, if Sabli's cavalry regiment is really transferred, our army can attack and try. As long as we win this battle, we can truly control the entire Jilin Province. By then, we will have more opportunities to negotiate with the Japanese.  With the confidence and capital, the restoration of our Qing Dynasty is just around the corner!" As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on Jixing's lips: "Brother Xi, we can still let Li Guilin lead the 23rd Brigade of the Communist Party of China to take the lead." Xi Qia heard this.  As soon as the light came on, he immediately slapped the table and decided: "Brother Ji, let's do it!" At the same time, inside the headquarters of the 23rd Brigade of the ** in Changchun City.  Li Guilin found his friend Mu Chunchang, commander of the 10th Artillery Regiment.  "Brother Xinshan, why are you so anxious to see me?" Mu Chunchang asked when they met.  Li Guilin took out the secret message sent to him by Marshal Zhang and said to Mu Chunchang: "Brother Mu, we are all favored by the Marshal and the Marshal. Now that the Marshal has given orders, we should resolutely abide by them and take it as our duty to hold on to Changchun. Wait for the Young Marshal.  After reading the secret message, Mu Chunchang pondered for a moment and was about to speak, when Li Guilin's adjutant suddenly walked in hurriedly.  "What's the matter?" Li Guilin was particularly dissatisfied with the adjutant's sudden intrusion and asked in an unhappy tone.  "Brigade seat, Xishen seat has sent someone to invite you and Mu to the headquarters for a meeting." The adjutant said quickly without bothering to explain.  "Oh?" Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang looked at each other and asked, "Brother Mu, are we going or not?" Mu Chunchang thought for a moment and said, "Go. The meaning of the young marshal's secret message is for us to make mistakes.  , Stick to Changchun, and firmly hold the control of Changchun in our hands, it does not mean that we will fall out with Ji Xing and Xi now." Li Guilin nodded when he heard this. Indeed, if he falls out with Ji Xing and Xi Qia now,  Regardless of who wins and who loses, Changchun will definitely not be able to defend it.  After some consideration, Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang left their brigade headquarters and headed straight for the headquarters with a guard platoon.  ………………………………… Outside the city, the headquarters of the **24th Brigade.  "Brother Sa, Shenyang is in danger, you lead the cavalry first to help. Brother Li and Xing will arrive soon!" Li Du patted Sabuli's shoulder very solemnly and said.  "Please rest assured, Chief Li, Sabuli will fulfill his mission!" Sabuli gladly stepped forward to accept the order.  "Be careful all the way!" Li Du saluted.  "Farewell!" Sabuli saluted back, turned and strode away with his saber in hand.  ………………………………… In the evening, the heavy rain continued, and the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the South Canal was in position outside Shenyang City.  Liu Zhenhu, a student of the 11th batch of Northeast Military Academy, has now become the captain company commander of the second battalion and first company of the third regiment of the garrison brigade.  Before entering the Jiangwu Hall to study, Liu Zhenhu was a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 23rd Brigade of the Communist Party of China. After more than half a year of further study in the Jiangwu Hall, he is now a captain and company commander, which is no problem.  Today Liu Zhenhu’s 1st Company has a rather special recruit. ??"Liu Company Commander, he is the brigade's younger brother. He was born in Yanjing. I have arranged for him to be in your 1st Company. You have to take good care of him." Liu Zhenhu looked up and down at Zhang Xinghua who came to report with his luggage, and he couldn't help but hear the sound in his ears.  The instructions given by the group leader Wang Yicai before leaving.  Seeing that Liu Zhenhu couldn’t help but look at him, Zhang Xinghua straightened his body involuntarily and accepted Liu Zhenhu’s review with the best spirit.  "Your name is Zhang Xinghua? Are you from Yanjing?" Liu Zhenhu asked after looking around.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghua replied neither humble nor overbearing.  "Okay, from now on you can stay at the company headquarters and be my orderly." Liu Zhenhu said.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghua stood up and objected: "Sir, please send me to the front-line infantry squad. I want to be a combat soldier!" "Huh?" Liu Zhenhu was secretly surprised when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Xinghua again, remembering Wang Yicai's instructions.  , and finally shook his head and said: "No, all the infantry platoons are full, and I am short of an orderly." "I don't want military pay. The company commander can put me into any platoon he wants." Zhang Xinghua insisted.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghua's performance far exceeded Liu Zhenhu's expectations. In his opinion, the younger brother of the traveler, a talented person from Yanjing University, came to his 1st company just to train and get gold-plated. It won't take long  He must be transferred to a higher position and be made a staff officer or something like that.  " Not only Liu Zhenhu thought so, but also Wang Yicai, Zhang Xinghan's brother, thought so, so he warned Liu Zhenhu in advance and asked him to take extra care of him.  "Zhang Xinghua, can you tell me why you have to go to the front-line combat unit?" Liu Zhenhu asked curiously.  "To kill the Japanese and protect our country!" Zhang Xinghua replied with no pretense of justice.  "The frontline combat team is very dangerous. They may bleed and die at any time. Aren't you afraid?" Liu Zhenhu nodded and asked again.  "At this time of national crisis and the survival of the nation, Xinghua has already put aside personal life and death. If you sacrifice for the country, Xinghua will be lucky. Why should you be afraid?!" Zhang Xinghua said righteously.  "Well said." Liu Zhenhu couldn't help but nod in praise after hearing this. He immediately stood up and said meaningfully to Zhang Xinghua: "Brother, let me tell you the truth. Once the war started, everyone including me, the company commander, had to go to the front line to participate in the battle. So  As my orderly, you don’t have to worry about not having the chance to go to the battlefield. I hope that when you go to the battlefield, you won’t be frightened by the roar of the gunfire.” “Company commander, please rest assured, there is no coward in the Zhang family.” Zhang Xinghua vowed.  Assured.  "Okay, put down your luggage and follow me to inspect the trenches." Liu Zhenhu picked up the helmet hanging in a batch and ordered.  "Yes!" Zhang Xinghua immediately put down his luggage and followed Liu Zhenhu out of the company headquarters.  At this time, the water in the traffic trench was almost knee-deep. Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua had just taken two steps when their bodies were completely soaked by the rain, and their feet were even deeper in the mud.  Zhang Xinghua could even clearly feel that his shoes were filled with cold rain and mud.  In order to clean up the accumulated water, most of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company were using shovels, water jars and other objects to pour the accumulated water in the trench out of the trench.  What’s worse, because there are no shovels or other items, he directly uses his own helmet as a water ladle.  "Company Commander, it's raining so hard, why don't our brothers even have raincoats? Can't you leave the fortifications first, take shelter in the city, and wait until the rain stops before coming back?" Zhang Xinghua looked at him who was soaked in the heavy rain.  Toru's officers and soldiers couldn't bear to say.  Liu Zhenhu looked back at Zhang Xinghua and explained patiently: "This is what we soldiers should do. We are not even afraid of death, so why are we afraid of a little rain?" "But soldiers will get sick if they are exposed to the rain like this.  ." Zhang Xinghua said without knowing why.  "You will not necessarily die if you get sick. If the position is lost, not only will we die, but also the people in the city will suffer." After Liu Zhenhu finished speaking, he continued to stride forward.  Zhang Xinghua certainly couldn't understand Liu Zhenhu's words at this time, and as a new recruit, he couldn't fully understand the meaning of the sentence "military orders are like mountains".  Just as he was about to continue the debate with Liu Zhenhu, one of the accompanying guards stopped him and explained in a low voice: "Brother, you don't understand anything when you first come here, so don't ask any more questions. The company commander is being polite to you. If you change  Others have already been scolded. "Why? Aren't all officers and soldiers equal? ??And my suggestion is correct? If you are exposed to the rain like this, how can you fight when you are sick?"  He asked not knowing why.  "Officers and soldiers are equal?" the guard said disapprovingly: "The chief is the chief, and the soldiers are soldiers. If everyone is equal, how can we still fight? This is the army."?Not a school.  " "Also, do you think the company commander is willing to watch more than a hundred brothers in the company suffer in the rain?  The little devil is about to call.  Moreover, there is an order from the brigade. All officers and soldiers on duty in the brigade must be on standby and ready for battle at all times. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be shot on the spot!  " "Tour seat?  Shot on the spot?  "Zhang Xinghua was secretly surprised. ……………………… In Shenyang City, the garrison brigade headquarters. Su Hanyun walked into the war room with a telegram in hand, and saluted Zhang Xinghan with a loud chest: "Brigade seat, **24th  Emergency call.  "    "oh?  "Zhang Xinghan received the telegram in surprise, opened it, read it, and immediately said: "Great, I will call General Li back immediately and say that I, Zhang Xinghan, thank him on behalf of all the elders in Shenyang City.  "    "yes!  Su Hanyun was ordered to turn around and leave. After taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Sir, can I ask you something?"  "    "What's up?  you say.  "Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood and said Sushou. "Which army has Xinghua been incorporated into?  "Su Hanyun asked. "Third Regiment, 2nd Battalion and 1st Company.  " Zhang Xinghan replied.

    Changchun City, rebel headquarters.  Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang walked into the conference room hand in hand. Xi Qia, Jixing and others were already there.  "Brother Xinshan, brother Chunchang are here. Brigadier Ji and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Xiqia smiled and stood up to greet you.  Li Guilin smiled: "Brother Li and Chunchang are late, I hope Xi Qia will forgive me." "There, there, please take a seat." Xi Qia smiled and waved his hand.  Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang were not polite and waited for everyone to sit down.  Li Guilin asked: "I wonder what the important matter is that Mr. Xi has urgently summoned the low-ranking officials?"  An excellent opportunity for the enemy. "Oh? I'd like to hear the details," Li Guilin asked pretending to be calm.  "It's like this. General Ding Chaoding, commander of the 28th Brigade of the ** outside the city, wants to join forces with us to attack Li Du's 24th Brigade of ** to relieve the siege of Changchun. After discussing with Brigadier Ji, I decided to send troops." Xi Xi  Negotiate.  "Could this be a trap? Didn't Li Du and Ding Chao already form a coalition to support Shenyang? Why did Ding Chao suddenly attack?" Li Guilin asked with a confused look on his face.  "I have also considered this. We can delay the attack for half an hour, and wait until Ding Chao actually takes action before we attack again." Xi Qia said.  "Since you already have a countermeasure, Li should follow it." Li Guilin nodded.  "Well, at 2:30 in the morning, I hope Brother Xinshan can lead his troops out of the city from the south gate. Brigadier Ji will lead the 28th Brigade out of the city from the north gate. The two groups of soldiers and horses will take advantage of the chaos to attack outside the city at the same time.  The 24th Brigade and the 26th Brigade of the Communist Party of China launch an attack and they will definitely win!" Xi Qia ordered.  It’s two o’clock in the morning.  Ding Chao led his troops to suddenly launch a surprise attack on the 24th Brigade of the Communist Party of China as scheduled.  Ding Chao was very cunning. He used a regiment of troops to launch a feint attack against the 699th Regiment of the 24th Brigade of the Communist Party of China adjacent to it, and personally commanded the main force to go straight to the brigade headquarters of the 24th Brigade of the Communist Party of China.  The sound of gunfire woke up Li Du, who was already sleeping soundly. Because he was on duty during the war, Li Du was sleeping with his clothes on. Hearing the sound of gunfire, he immediately woke up from his sleep, quickly ran out of the temporary tent, and shouted urgently: "Adjutant! What's going on?"  "Brigade seat, Ding Chao has betrayed him. This bastard is leading an attack on our brigade headquarters, and the security company is trying its best to stop it." The adjutant came to report in a panic.  "What?" Li Du was shocked when he heard this. He immediately pulled out his gun and said loudly and loudly: "Give me an order. The 667th Regiment will be on guard in Changchun City. The 668th Regiment and the 699th Regiment will immediately fight back. Give me a hard beating and send someone else to contact you."  Brigadier Xing, please cooperate with us in our counterattack!" "Yes!" the adjutant responded and left quickly.  Li Du personally commanded the security company, reconnaissance company and other units directly under the brigade headquarters to fight back.  However, due to the sudden incident, the 668th Regiment failed to respond in time and returned to the brigade headquarters. The 699th Regiment was also caught off guard and was defeated by a regiment of the 28th Brigade of the Japanese Army.  In the dark night, Ding Chao's troops were prepared but not prepared. After seizing the opportunity, they immediately launched a fierce attack on Li Du's 24th Brigade.  The 24th Brigade was caught off guard and collapsed quickly. Li Du had no choice but to lead the remnants of the brigade to retreat.  Xing Zhanqing’s brigade could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the dark, and at this time, Li Guilin led the 23rd Brigade of the Japanese Army to suddenly attack out of the city.  In order to avoid excessive losses, Xing Zhanqing had to command his troops to retreat while fighting.  An hour later, the situation outside the city was completely disrupted. Ding Chao's 28th Brigade of the Japanese Army captured the three regiments of the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the two sides started a melee.  Xing Zhanqing’s subordinate Li Guilin’s 23rd Brigade was retreating steadily under attack and had no time to take care of itself.  At this time, the 27th Brigade of the ** commanded by the cunning Jixing took the opportunity to rush out from the north gate and launched an attack at the same time against the 24th and 28th brigades of the ** who were fighting together.  There was a melee until five o'clock in the morning. Li Du's 24th Brigade and Ding Chao's 28th Brigade were both defeated by Jixing's 27th Brigade without distinguishing between friend and foe, and suffered heavy casualties.  The situation of Xing Zhanqing's 26th Brigade was slightly better, losing only one-third of its troops.  At this point, the coalition forces supporting Shen collapsed overnight.  When Li Du led the remnants of his troops to retreat to Zhangjiawan, the defeated troops gathered together and found that the number was less than one regiment. Most of the officers and soldiers were scattered and defeated.  Li Guilin and Jixing led their troops in pursuit without stopping, and immediately launched an attack on Li Du and the remaining troops of Xing Zhanqing.  The situation in Zhangjiawan is critical, and the positions of Li Xing's Second Division are in danger at this moment.  A sudden change occurred on the battlefield. A new force suddenly appeared behind Jixing and Li Guilin and launched a fierce attack on them.  Ji and Li were in chaos. Li Du and Xing Zhanqing seized the opportunity to attack. Under attack from both sides, they turned defeat into victory and defeated Ji and Li.  &nbsp; Due to the heavy losses of their own troops, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing chased for a while before stopping the pursuit, and then withdrew their troops and returned to Zhangjiawan.  The fresh force also stopped pursuing and joined Li Du and Xing Zhanqing.  "General Li, General Xing, you're late for your humble position!" After meeting, a tall middle-aged officer saluted the two of them.  "Are you Captain Feng Zhanhai?" Li Du looked at the middle-aged officer in front of him in surprise.  "It was my humble post. I heard that the general was raising troops to aid the sinking. I led all the soldiers of the Jilin Self-Defense Regiment (682 Regiment) day and night to come to help. Unexpectedly, I saw that the general was defeated. Feng Zhanhai came late. Please punish the general!" Feng Zhanhai looked ashamed!  The way.  "Thanks to Commander Feng's timely assistance in this battle, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous. It was too late for Li and others to be grateful, so why would they punish Commander Feng." Li Du said to Feng Zhanhai.  "Brother Zhichu, Commander Feng, time is running out. We should go back to Zhangjiawan first to consolidate the defense line to prevent the rebels from coming again, and then make plans." Xing Zhanqing suggested.  "Yes." Li Du nodded and said to Feng Zhanhai: "Captain Feng, please lead your troops to join us in Zhangjiawan." "Yes!" Feng Zhanhai agreed immediately.  ?????……………… In Nong’an County, northwest of Changchun, Ding Chao led his remaining troops to retreat to the county town to count their troops. At this time, his army of more than 10,000 troops actually had less than 1,000 men.  And even the communication radio station at the brigade headquarters was lost. In addition to anger, Ding Chao felt regretful and regretful, in order to avoid the pursuit of Ji Xing and other troops.  He was forced to lead his troops to move southwest of Jilin in an attempt to make a comeback.  In Changchun City, Jixing and Li Guilin have led their troops back to Changchun. Although they suffered a defeat in Zhangjiawan, overall, they still won.  In the battle last night, they basically annihilated the main forces of the two brigades Ding Chao and Li Du, and also seized a considerable amount of weapons and equipment. Changchun City is now free of worries.  However, after the defeat in Zhangjiawan, they were temporarily unable to continue attacking in the direction of Harbin.  …………… The situation in Jilin took a turn for the worse, and the war in the direction of Shenyang finally came.  At nine o'clock in the morning on September 9, Zhang Xinghan had just learned that Li Du and others were defeated in aiding Shen, and Liu Guodong, the leader of the Sujiatun Second Regiment, received another bad news.  The scouts learned that a large number of Kwantung Army troops were marching towards Shenyang along the South Manchuria Railway.  Due to weather reasons, the aviation reconnaissance plane was unable to take off, so when the cavalry scouts learned of the situation, the Kwantung Army's forward troops were less than 20 kilometers away from Sujiatun Railway Station.  When the enemy approaches, Zhang Xinghan can order the entire garrison brigade to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. At the same time, he secretly transports a large number of poison gas bombs to the Sujiatun Second Regiment position for emergency use in wartime.  PS: Updated yesterday

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 71: The outbreak of the war (third update on the 20th)

    At ten o'clock in the morning on September 29, the position of the Second Regiment of the Sujiatun Railway Station garrison brigade.  Zhang Xinghan took Shen Xingye and a guard platoon on horseback in the heavy rain to Sujiatun for inspection.  Because it rained continuously all day and night, the dirt road from Shenyang to Sujiatun was already muddy, making it impossible for jeeps to pass smoothly. It would be faster to ride on horseback.  After arriving at the Sujiatun train, Liu Guodong, leader of the Second Regiment, and others had been waiting for a long time.  "Search, you are here." As soon as Zhang Xinghan dismounted, Liu Guodong and several of his subordinates came up to him in the rain.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan handed the war horse to an adjutant and went to the Second Regiment Headquarters on the train station platform with Liu Guodong.  "Where are the Japanese troops?" Zhang Xinghan asked as he entered the room and took off his raincoat.  "According to the scout report, the Japanese cavalry vanguard is less than ten kilometers away from Sujiatun." Liu Guodong replied.  "It's raining all the time, and the air force's fighter planes can't take off. Otherwise, we can give some gifts to the Japanese cavalry." Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "The importance of Guodong Sujiatun, I  "You don't need me to explain it, right?" "Yes, please rest assured, all the brothers of the Second Regiment will defend Sujiatun to the death," Liu Guodong said immediately.  "Are there any difficulties or needs? I will try my best to satisfy you." Zhang Xinghan asked.  Liu Guodong thought for a while and said: "Brigade, if you can, it would be great if you could get a raincoat for each of the brothers. After all, we don't know when the weather will clear up. If it keeps getting rained like this, sooner or later the soldiers will be unable to bear it."  "Well, I'll try my best to solve this for you later." Zhang Xinghan paused briefly and then said, "Come with me to inspect the forward positions." "Yes!" Liu Guodong agreed.  Immediately, he followed Zhang Xinghan out of the regiment headquarters and followed the traffic trench to the forward position in the rain.  Since the Japanese army is about to arrive, the officers and soldiers of each battalion and company of the Second Regiment have entered a state of combat readiness.  The trenches were full of officers and soldiers holding on in the rain. When Zhang Xinghan arrived surrounded by Liu Guodong and others.  Wherever they went, the officers and soldiers standing there stood up and saluted.  "Brothers, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Xinghan was hurt by the situation and said in a loud voice: "When the little Japanese are defeated, I will put eight big bowls in Shenyang City for everyone. Everyone will have a share." "Sir, if I die in the battle,  "Where are you?" a new recruit who had just joined the army suddenly asked.  Zhang Xinghan looked at his young face and said with deep meaning: "Those who died in battle also have a share. I believe that even if we die in battle, our heroes will continue to guard Shenyang and the Northeast, so everyone has a share in the celebration banquet."  " "Brigade seat" The recruit was choked and speechless.  "Brothers, no matter when, no matter how critical the war situation is, I hope that everyone will be strong and brave to face it, because we are soldiers, soldiers from the Northeast. Although the Northeast is big, we have no way to retreat, because behind us  It’s Shenyang, it’s the hundreds of thousands of folks from Shenyang City!” Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xinghan raised his arms and shouted: “The long sword is pointing directly at the land in the north; the setting sun is like blood flowing on the journey south;  The flags are hunting and summoning the war drums of the eastward march; The long yellow sand cannot stop the pace of the Western Expedition; China has many heroes since ancient times, they can be killed but not humiliated! Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve since ancient times, and I bid farewell to my parents in tears; The Yang family is full of loyal generals, loyal to the country.  Wu Mu; The enemy! The army! The most beautiful clothes of a man; The horse-leather corpse is the heroic destination; The chariots are rolling.  Rows of corpses of barbarians; Han and barbarians have always been at odds with each other; since ancient times, no one has ever died, and his loyalty is as per the history books; The Japanese invaders Qi Jiguang and the Hun Huo Qubing are defeated; The enemy is still alive!  ! "Execute!" Zhang Xinghan's voice was loud and inspiring, and he sang a Han nationality war song that was circulated on the Internet impassionedly.  At this time, heavy rain was still pouring from the sky, and the soldiers of the Second Regiment present were silent. Only the raindrops fell on their helmets and made a crisp sound.  "Brothers, the Chinese nation has been full of generous and tragic people since ancient times. Now, at a time when the survival of the nation is at stake and the country is in trouble, we should follow the example of our ancestors, fight for the country and the nation, and use the bayonets in our hands to tell the Japanese,  Those who offend China will have only one fate, and that is death!”&nbsp"The war song I sang just now is the war song of our Chinese nation. From today on, it is also the military song of our garrison. I hope that all the officers and men of our garrison will chant the war song and kill the enemy to serve the country!" "Long Sword"  The direction is pointed directly at the land in the north; the setting sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south" Under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan again.  Hundreds of soldiers of the Second Regiment began to sing along with the chorus. In this impassioned and exciting singing, the soldiers felt that their souls were awakened and their blood was boiling.  From this moment on, fear and cold are insignificant to them. From this moment on, they are truly fearless.  At 11 o'clock at noon, more than 2,000 people from the Japanese 6th Division forward and the 6th Cavalry Regiment rushed to the outskirts of Sujiatun.  However, the Japanese army, which consisted entirely of cavalry, did not arrogantly launch an attack directly on the Sujiatun garrison position.  Instead, they rested on the spot and waited for the arrival of the main force of the division.  Lieutenant General Masaemon Sakamoto, then commander of the Sixth Division, led the main force of the division to the outskirts of Sujiatun at around 12 noon.  After successfully rendezvousing with the cavalry forward, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the Sixth Division took a short rest and prepared for the attack, under the command of Sakamoto Masaemon.  began to launch a tentative attack on the forward positions of the Sujiatun Second Regiment.  The Japanese army's attack is exactly the same, unchanged for hundreds of years. About one strengthened squad, carrying a 38 rifle with a fixed bayonet, and under the leadership of a Japanese second lieutenant, lined up in a skirmish formation and braved the rain to attack the Second Regiment.  The 1st Battalion Company came to the defensive position.  In the front trench of the 1st company, the captain of the 1st company, Chen Feng, was lying in the trench, pushing his helmet with a pistol, and staring at the rapidly approaching Japanese army.  "Company commander, the kid is coming up." A soldier next to him whispered nervously.  "I know, just like last time, this is a tentative attack by the Japs. Give me the order. After the Japs enter the effective range, the light and heavy machine guns do not need to fire. Use rifles to kill them one by one. Try not to let the Japs get too far into our mines."  Inside the field." Chen Feng ordered.  "Yes." The soldier quickly conveyed Chen Feng's orders one by one.  At this time, the rain in the sky stopped for a while, but it was still drizzling. Chen Feng wiped the rain off his face, couldn't help but sneeze and said: "Damn, this little devil is so rich, Raincoat  We only have one, but I’m freezing. I don’t know when the superiors will send us some raincoats.” “Company commander, we’ll kill these two little Japanese guys later. We won’t take off their raincoats.”  Do you have a raincoat?" the soldier next to him said.  "Nonsense, what are you afraid of if you get wet in the rain? No one is allowed to leave the trenches without my order. The little devil's marksmanship is not perfect. We don't have to risk our lives for two raincoats." Chen Feng scolded.  While the two were talking, about seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers had quickly approached within a thousand meters. This distance was already within the absolute effective range of light and heavy machine guns.  However, the 1st Company, which was the forward company, did not fire, and the other troops of the 2nd Battalion behind the position had to wait.  Although time passed, seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers, holding bayonets and walking in a zigzag line, quickly advanced to within 500 meters.  "Company commander, the Japanese are about to enter our minefield." A soldier warned urgently.  "It's too far. Wait until the Japs get within 300 meters before attacking." Chen Feng said lazily: "The minefield is so big that the Japs won't be afraid of stepping on a few. Anyway, it's raining now, so it's impossible to catch the Japs' plane."  Come for dive bombing, don't be afraid." "Company commander, the Japanese are starting to speed up," the soldier shouted again.  Chen Feng's eyes were in vain. When he saw seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers suddenly speeding up and charging, he quickly opened the safety of his pistol, pulled the bolt, and was ready to go.  The Japs were still running very fast. In almost the blink of an eye, they rushed over a hundred meters and rushed into the minefield area about three hundred meters away from the 1st Company position.  But the explosion in the minefield that Chen Feng expected did not happen. Seventy or eighty Japanese were running like flying, approaching dozens of meters closer in an instant.  Without thinking about anything else, Chen Feng immediately pulled the trigger toward the sky: "Hit me!" The sound of gunfire was an order, and more than a hundred riflemen who had been prepared pulled the trigger one after another.  PS: Faxiao, who grew up wearing crotchless pants and played with the mud until he was big, bought a new car today and was taken to celebrate it. He came back late.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 72: The bloody battle in Sujiatun (first update yesterday)

    "Pah, pah, pah" A row of gunshots sounded in vain.  The first salvo of hundreds of Garand semi-automatic rifles seemed astonishing, but the actual results were not great.  Seventy or eighty well-trained Japs rushed in quickly in a skirmish line, and the fire network composed of more than a hundred Garand rifles could not really cover them at all.  Most of the bullets missed, only two experienced veteran squad leaders hit the target, and the two Japanese soldiers fell down.  It’s not that the riflemen of the 1st company were poor in marksmanship, it was that it was too difficult to hit a target that was feinting to avoid using standard tactics at a distance of more than 200 meters.  It’s not something ordinary people can do.  "Damn it, pull the rope, pull the rope quickly, blow up the little son of a bitch to death." Chen Feng immediately ordered urgently when he saw that the Japanese were in the middle of the minefield as if there was no one around and there was no one to stop them.  "Company commander, the minefield has failed." A soldier in charge of the lead rope shouted anxiously.  "What?" Chen Feng became anxious when he heard this. He ducked down along the trench and rushed to an MG34 universal machine gun position. He pushed the machine gunner aside, pointed the universal machine gun at the charging Japanese troops and started shooting.  "Ta-ta-tata-ta-ta" The MG34 general-purpose machine gun began to roar, and scarlet tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzle.  Mud and water splashed around the Japanese soldiers hit by dense bullets.  Chen Feng opened the universal machine gun and opened fire. The other machine gunners no longer hesitated and followed suit.  A large number of 7.92mm bullets rushed towards the Japanese army like raindrops. Soon, some Japanese soldiers were unable to evade and fell to the ground after being shot.  Coupled with the close distance, the riflemen's Garand rifles also began to play their due role.  The Japs braved the dense rain of bullets and fired back, but how could the manual 38 rifle be compared to the semi-automatic Garand rifle that was an era more advanced than it.  More than a hundred Garand rifles fired a salvo, and the persistence and intensity of its firepower were completely comparable to that of a Japanese machine gun squadron.  Under the heavy rain of metal bullets, the Japanese squad could no longer advance even half a step forward. After leaving behind nearly twenty corpses, they fled in a panic.  In fact, their mission has been completed. All the machine guns of the 1st company in the forward position have opened fire. The Japanese artillery has already marked the targets for shooting.  Next is the time for artillery to show off.  The fifty or so Jaap vanguards turned around and retreated, their speed was no less than the speed of the charge.  Before the Japanese soldiers could retreat to their own positions, their artillery suddenly opened fire.  "Boom, boom, boom" There are 36 75 mountain guns, 12 75mm field guns of the 6th Artillery Regiment directly under the Sixth Division, and 16 Taisho 11 70mm infantry cannons from the squadrons directly under each infantry wing, a total of sixty  Four guns.  They opened fire one after another, and for a while, fireballs came one after another in the sky like meteors, with sharp piercing sounds and long scarlet flames, and they fell hard on the position of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment.  Among them, the most forward 1st company position is the top priority of the Japanese artillery fire coverage.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom" Deafening explosions sounded one after another, and thick smoke rose into the sky along with the fire.  Followed by the air flow, there was also the dusty soil.  Chen Feng shook his head and tried to get rid of the mud on his helmet, spitting out a mouthful of phlegm: "Damn it, this kid's artillery fire is really fierce." "Boom" There was another loud noise, and a shell fell.  Not far away from Chen Feng's right, the huge explosion shock wave immediately tore several 1st Company riflemen in that trench into pieces.  The trench, which was originally narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, was also blasted into a large crater with a diameter of more than five meters.  ??In the Sujiatun Railway Station, the Second Regiment Headquarters.  Liu Guodong held up the telescope and looked at the forward position that had been plunged into a sea of ??flames, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.  "Correspondent, report to the brigade headquarters immediately. The 1st Battalion of our regiment was hit by powerful enemy artillery fire. We request the brigade headquarters to provide artillery support." Liu Guodong turned his head and shouted.  "Yes!" A correspondent quickly answered the call at the brigade headquarters.  After learning the news, Zhang Xinghan, who was solving the raincoat problem for the officers and soldiers in the city, immediately ordered the artillery battalion to leave the city and rush to Sujiatun for support.  There was originally air support, but Zhang Xinghan planned to save the artillery battalion for last use.  Now it’s raining all the time, and the fighter planes can’t take off, so we have to use the artillery battalion in advance.  After giving the order to the artillery battalion, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong: "Where is Zang Shiyi being held now?" "He should still be held in the prison of the original police station." Guo Zhong said.  "Shen Yizhi!" Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly.  "Now that I'm in a humble position, what are your orders?"?Shen Xingye entered in response.  "Take a platoon and go to the police cell immediately and bring Zang Shiyi to me." "Yes!" Shen Xingye accepted the order and left.  After watching Shen Xingye leave, Guo Zhong asked in confusion: "Master, why are you bringing Zang Shiyi out now?" "Zang Shiyi is a talent. The reason why I don't kill him is because I want to keep him useful. Now there is a war."  Soon, the logistics pressure in the city will increase sharply, and I need his help," Zhang Xinghan said.  "But, is it possible that he wanted to murder you and activated it rashly?" Guo Zhong said worriedly.  "No, although this person is not a very loyal person, he has an upright old mother. Now that the country is facing a crisis, we are in urgent need of talents. We must make the best use of materials and people. Of course, you will personally take a squad of followers to protect you.  Him." Zhang Xinghan said with a profound meaning.  "Well, I understand the humble position." Guo Zhong nodded, and then said: "Then, sir, do you want me to bring someone to invite Zang Shiyi's mother? Or send someone to monitor her?" "No, Zang's mother has a temperament.  Be strong, that will only be counterproductive." Zhang Xinghan clearly remembered that in history, after Zang Shiyi was detained by the Kwantung Army for three months, he could not withstand the coercion and inducement of the Japanese and finally agreed to surrender and serve as an important official of the puppet Manchukuo. His mother was angry.  He committed suicide and died for his country.  Therefore, I will never do something stupid like detaining someone for surveillance, so that I can show my magnanimity.  ………………… On the forward position of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment.  After half an hour of bombardment by the Japanese army, the artillery fire finally began to extend.  Before Chen Feng could crawl out of the mud, a Japanese brigade of nearly a thousand people, who had been waiting for a long time on the opposite side, launched an attack on the 1st company position.  "Company commander, the Japanese are attacking again." A second lieutenant platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs with blood on his face.  Chen Feng struggled to crawl out of the mud, and the huge explosion caused a temporary roar in his ears.  He could vaguely hear the shouts of his subordinates, and subconsciously looked towards the front of the position.  I saw in the open ground ahead, the Japanese troops were approaching in dark groups silently towards their own positions.  Unlike the Chinese army who likes to roar when attacking, the Japanese army is very quiet when charging.  Apart from the sound of footsteps, the only sound left was the clatter of equipment colliding.  "Everyone who is alive should stand up and prepare to fight!" Chen Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.  The surviving soldiers of the company began to crawl out of the mud one after another. They didn't bother wiping the mud on their faces and got into fighting positions with their guns drawn.  The Japanese’s exploratory attack this time was different from the last time. After the infantry barely entered the range of the machine guns, they accelerated their charge in vain.  The heavy machine guns responsible for covering opened fire one after another.  When Chen Feng saw this, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hit me, machine gunner, hard!" Following his order, the seven or eight surviving MG34 general-purpose machine guns of the 1st company opened fire one after another.  At the same time, the machine guns of the other two companies of the 1st Battalion also opened fire one after another.  Dense bullets shuttled back and forth across the battlefield like a meteor shower.  Whether it was the Japanese soldiers charging in the rain or the soldiers of the garrison brigade holding on to block the attack, some people were shot and fell from time to time.  Due to heavy rain, the large number of minefields deployed by the Second Regiment at the forward positions were basically ineffective and failed to play their due role at all.  In desperation, Liu Guodong used a large number of poison gas bombs allocated to him by Zhang Xinghan. However, due to the rainy weather, the poison gas bombs could not exert their due power.  Under the successive attacks of the Japanese army's absolutely superior force, the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment suffered heavy casualties. In fierce fighting until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng's 1st Company had almost all its casualties.  The 1st Battalion also suffered more than half of its casualties. Liu Guodong hurriedly replaced the 1st Battalion and transferred the 2nd Battalion to take over. At the same time, the artillery battalion directly under the garrison brigade also rushed to Sujiatun.  The artillery of both sides quickly engaged in an artillery battle. The 105mm howitzers equipped by the artillery battalion caused the Japanese artillery to suffer a lot. However, due to the uneven quality of the artillery, it failed to cause a fatal blow to it.  As it approached five o'clock in the afternoon, the fierce fighting continued. The bodies of Japanese soldiers were already piled up in front of the Second Regiment's position, and the trenches were also filled with the bodies of soldiers from the garrison brigade.  Led by the rain, the blood flowed along the trenches almost throughout the entire ring of fortifications of the Second Regiment.  It is no exaggeration to describe the brutality of the battle as a river of blood.  At six o'clock in the evening, the fighting took a break.  Liu Guodong felt extremely heavy and wanted to call the brigade headquarters.  "Hello, I'm Zhang Xinghan." Zhang Xinghan's voice came from the other end of the phone.  "Brigade, all the minefields have failed, and the gas bombs are useless. Our regiment only fought fiercely with the enemy for one afternoon and suffered more than half of its casualties. The situation is very pessimistic. Please think of a solution quickly.  Liu Guodong said with a sad face.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 73: Bloody Battle in Sujiatun (2) Second update yesterday

    "Well, I already know the situation. I will dispatch a group of reinforcements from the Third Regiment to reinforce your headquarters later." In the garrison brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan put down the phone after giving some instructions.  The current critical situation faced by the Second Regiment really gave him a headache. Due to the continuous heavy rains, not only did the aviation team's fighter planes be unable to take off, but also the greatest air superiority of one's own side was lost.  Even the minefields and poison gas bombs that have been preset for a long time have lost their due effect.  This was something Zhang Xinghan didn’t expect. After all, there are unpredictable weather conditions, and there is no weather forecast in this era.  In addition to being anxious, Zhang Xinghan picked up the phone and called the third group.  "Hello, I'm Zhang Xinghan, I'm looking for your group leader." After answering the phone, Zhang Xinghan said straightforwardly.  "Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The respectful voice of a communications soldier came from the microphone.  After leaning a little, Wang Yicai's voice sounded: "Xinghan, what are your orders?" "Yicai, the Second Regiment's forward position is tight and they have suffered heavy losses. You should immediately send a battalion to support them." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, I'll transfer the second battalion over right away." Wang Yicai on the other end of the phone nodded in agreement.  After putting down the phone, Wang Yicai immediately turned around and shouted: "Signal Corps, notify Battalion Commander Du immediately and ask him to rush to the Second Battalion to support Sujiatun." "Yes!" A communications soldier took the order and left.  ???……………… At the same time, the temporary division headquarters of the Japanese 6th Division was established.  The division commander, Lieutenant General Masaemon Sakamoto, was working with the chief of staff, Colonel Kotaro Uedanaka, and several combat staff officers to formulate and discuss a combat plan around the combat map.  "Your Excellency, Division Commander, after the afternoon attack, the 13th Infantry Regiment, the main force of the 11th Brigade of our division, has suffered nearly one-third casualties, and it has not yet been able to break through the Sujiatun defensive position." Kotaro Uedanaka pointed at  Look up on the map and face Sakamoto Masaemon.  Sakamoto Masaemon couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said: "It seems that the previous defeat of the 2nd Division was not without reason. The Northeastern Army in Shenyang is so powerful and has such powerful firepower that it has never been seen before.  "Yes, according to the commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment, the Chinese Army is equipped with an extremely large number of automatic firearms, and they also possess an astonishing number of large-caliber artillery. In addition, during the afternoon battle, they  They even tried to fire special bombs at our attacking troops, but the stupid Chinese people may not know that special bombs are ineffective when used in rainy days," Kotaro Uedanaka said with a hint of ridicule.  "Special bombs? Do they still have special bombs?" Masaemon Sakamoto was slightly surprised.  "Yes, my humble guess is that the special bombs are stockpiled in the Shenyang Arsenal, because according to the qualifications we have, Zhang Xueliang purchased large quantities of special bombs during his rule in Northeast China and used special bombs in the civil war." Uedanaka Kotaro said.  "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do next? Should we stop the attack, wait for the arrival of the 2nd Division and the 20th Division, complete the encirclement of Shenyang City, and then attack again?" Kotaro Uedanaka asked.  Masaemon Sakamoto looked at the combat map, pondered for a moment and said: "No, due to the terrain of Shenyang, in order to complete the encirclement of Shenyang, Sujiatun, the forward China defense position, must be captured. Order the 11th Brigade,  Organize an attack all night, and be sure to capture Sujiatun Railway Station before dawn and wipe out all the enemy defenders at the station! " "Hai!" Uedanaka Kotaro lowered his head suddenly and immediately turned around and walked towards the temporary communication room.  Around 7 p.m., Du Ting led hundreds of officers and soldiers from the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment to Sujiatun Station in time.  took over the defense of the forward position from the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment.  On the position, in the trench of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion.  1st company commander Liu Zhenhu was inspecting the trenches with orderly Zhang Xinghua and another guard.  "Who is that? Don't stick to that piece of wood. Yes, hurry up and reinforce the fortifications. The Japs may attack at any time." "And you, platoon leader, your platoon's foxholes also need to be repaired.  They've all been blown into a big fucking hole, where can they bury people?" Li Zhenhu stopped and walked along, scolding his subordinates from time to time.  Zhang Xinghua followed Liu Zhenhu nervously, looking left and right. Since night had fallen, he couldn't clearly see the tragic scene around him.  It just seemed vaguely like there was a disgusting fishy smell.  Zhang Xinghua, who had never seen blood, didn’t know that these smelled like human blood.  Until he followed Liu Zhenhu along the communication trench and arrived at a trench at the far right end of the position, several soldiers from the 1st Company were digging earth to repair the fortifications.  “I don’t know who dug out a severed arm covered with soil from the mound.  The soldiers digging the soil may not have paid attention and just usedThe shovel was thrown back, and the broken arm was dripping with mud and hit Zhang Xinghua's back.  Zhang Xinghua’s back hurt, and he subconsciously turned around and held up a torch to find out.  A jaw-dropping scene appeared in front of him. Although the broken arm was covered with mud, the five fingers were still clearly visible.  Seeing this scene, Zhang Xinghua felt a sense of fear and nausea, and immediately turned his head and began to vomit violently.  After almost vomiting out all the overnight meals, Zhang Xinghua got slightly better.  Liu Zhenhu smoked a cigarette and waited until he was almost done vomiting, then came over and patted his back, and asked with concern: "Xinghua, how are you doing? Is that okay? No, I'll take you to the battalion headquarters." Zhang Xinghua  Feeling that his self-esteem had been severely hit, he stood up quickly, wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Company Commander, I'm fine, I can do it, I really can do it." Liu Zhenhu looked at him and nodded without saying anything.  Turn around and continue walking forward.  Zhang Xinghua did not dare to stay and quickly followed.  At eight o'clock in the evening, the Japanese 11th Brigade once again dispatched hundreds of elites. Under the cover of artillery fire, they launched a new round of attack on Sujiatun.  The Second Battalion of the Third Regiment of the defenders fought back under the command of battalion commander Du Ting, and the battle soon entered a stalemate.  The gunshots in Sujiatun rang through the night sky, and soon the battle report reached Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan, who was meditating on countermeasures, looked at Su Hanyun who came to report the battle situation with some surprise, and thought to himself, didn't it be said in later novels and TV series that the Japanese army was not good at night fighting?  Why are you suddenly launching an attack tonight?  After the initial surprise, Zhang Xinghan thought about it and understood. From history, it is not difficult to see that the so-called Japanese army is not good at night fighting is pure nonsense.  Because, whether it was the September 18th Incident or the July 7th Incident, when the Japanese army launched an attack, wasn't that time at night?  Of course, considering all factors, the Japanese army’s dislike of night fighting should not be entirely due to the peacock’s wind.  After all, as a highly modernized Japanese army with absolute advantages in land, sea and air force, the Japanese army may be accustomed to fighting during the day with the assistance of powerful firepower from artillery, air force and even navy.  On the contrary, after losing these obvious absolute advantages at night, the Japanese army may not be used to or like this method of combat.  After all, under such circumstances, the losses in a night battle may be greater than in a day battle.  However, this is by no means absolute. If necessary, well-trained and well-equipped Japanese troops can definitely carry out night battles.  The recent September 18th Incident and the performance of the Japanese army tonight are the best proof. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Therefore, for the Japanese army, there is almost no big difference between fighting during the day and fighting at night.  The only difference may be that the sight is blocked in the dark, but this is not a problem because the defender's sight will also be affected.  “ Moreover, they also have flares, which can completely clear the night and facilitate the attack.  When Zhang Xinghan was thinking about this, a white light suddenly lit up in the east direction of the city.  Zhang Xinghan walked out of the war room, stood under the eaves and looked eastward. In the dark night, he saw the illumination bombs rising into the sky like Kongming lanterns, emitting a dazzling white light, which was very eye-catching.  Flares, flares, yes, I have a way to stop the Japanese attack.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly had a bright idea in his mind, and immediately turned around excitedly and walked towards an ammunition depot in the brigade headquarters compound.  After a while, he called Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, immediately assemble the first company of guards and carry all the boxes with white markings in the ammunition depot onto the car. Let's go to Sujiatun." "Yes!" Shen Xingye immediately  After execution, more than a hundred guards were quickly recruited to move boxes of rather heavy wooden boxes onto military trucks.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Under the illumination of the flares, the entire Sujiatun frontier battlefield was almost like daylight.  Zhang Xinghua, who was lying next to Liu Zhenhu, was obviously not used to it. The strong light of the flares pierced his eyes and he could not open his eyes, let alone shoot.  "Ta-ta-ta" Liu Zhenhu had already taken over the squad of a dead machine gunner and acted as a machine gunner. He wielded a general-purpose machine gun and fired fiercely at the swarming Japanese troops.  The dazzling white light above his head seemed to have no effect on him.  Under the terrifying rate of fire of the MG34, the two hundred rounds of ammunition were quickly exhausted.  Liu Zhenhu and the guard were busy changing the barrel of the gun, and at the same time shouted to Zhang Xinghua: "Xinghua, help me quickly"Hands, reload!  " "Hey, okay.  "Zhang Xinghua responded hurriedly, rushed to the ammunition box, and picked up a new ammunition chain with trembling hands. Maybe it was because of nervousness, but he couldn't put the ammunition chain in. "Are you ready?  hurry up!  "Liu Zhenhu changed the barrel of a new one with the help of the guards, and threw the scarlet-hot barrel into the small puddle of water in the trench behind him, and there was a burst of hissing sound. "That's good" Zhang Xinghua  Zhang Xinghua responded with sweat all over his head, and his men were even more panicked. At this moment, a sharp whistling sound like a whistle suddenly came from the night sky. The sound was extremely harsh, almost covering up the sound of other gunfire.  Looking up in confusion, he saw Liu Zhenhu's guard warning loudly and vigilantly: "Company commander, be careful of the shells!  "After saying that, he dodged and threw Liu Zhenhu to the ground. "Boom" There was a loud noise, and the fire suddenly appeared. Zhang Xinghua only felt a wave of heat coming towards him, and he was suddenly thrown to the ground.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 74: Napalm (first update today)

    "Little tiger! Tiger!" Zhang Xinghua vaguely heard Liu Zhenhu's heart-rending shouts.  He forced himself to open his eyes, feeling a sharp pain on his right cheek, and subconsciously reached out to touch it.  But he touched blood on his hand, and he sat up suddenly with horror in his heart.  After sitting up, he saw a scene that shocked him extremely.  Liu Zhenhu’s face was covered with blood, and he was holding the bloody guard Xiao Huzi with a tragic expression.  Zhang Xinghua hurriedly crawled over, only to see a bloody mess behind the little tiger that was still alive just now, and bright red blood kept pouring out along Liu Zhenhu's arm.  "Company Commander, are you okay? Hu Zi?" Zhang Xinghua blurted out with sadness in his heart.  Liu Zhenhu did not answer, but slowly placed Xiao Huzi's body against a section of the trench. He turned around and touched the general machine gun. He skillfully picked up the bullet chain that Zhang Xinghua failed to load and installed it, and clicked the gun bolt.  .  "Come here!" Liu Zhenhu shouted towards Zhang Xinghua with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.  Zhang Xinghua rolled and crawled over almost mechanically, subconsciously dragging Huang Chengcheng's metal bullet chain.  "Click click click click" The MG34 general-purpose machine gun, which had been silent for a long time, roared again.  A dazzling tongue of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the gun and headed straight for the crowd of Japanese soldiers who had rushed to a distance of 100 meters.  Zhang Xinghua stared blankly at the Japanese soldiers who were continuously shot and fell to the ground in front of him. He could clearly feel that the bullet chain in his hand was shortening at an extremely fast speed.  The yellow bullet shells jumped out one after another, and soon formed a small pile next to Liu Zhenhu, almost burying his left foot.  "Come on, you little devil! I'm sorry for your ancestors!" Liu Zhenhu Zhuangruo yelled at the top of his lungs in a crazy voice.  The MG34 general-purpose machine gun exerted its maximum power in his hands, and a dense rain of metal bullets roared towards the Japanese crowd like meteors.  Immediately, the Japanese fell into pieces like they were harvesting wheat.  Zhang Xinghua looked at the almost crazy man in front of him with some strangeness. He was careful and suddenly found that Liu Zhenhu, who had always given him a severe and cold feeling, had tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.  Seeing this, Zhang Xinghua felt like his heart had been hit by a hammer, feeling very dull and depressed. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That looked back and saw the tragic death of the guard battalion Xiao Huzi lying in the trench, his eyes open, and an unprecedented sadness and anger filled his heart.  For the first time, he truly experienced the ruthlessness and cruelty of war. At the same time, he also understood that true defense of the homeland was not as simple as just shouting slogans in school.  It requires life and blood to complete.  When the anger filled his heart and expanded to an unprecedented level, he could no longer feel the fear.  The hands holding the bullet chain became extra strong, as if he fired every bullet with his own hands.  The two hundred rounds of ammunition were quickly consumed. This time, Zhang Xinghua quickly took out another ammunition chain from the ammunition box without Liu Zhenhu’s instructions.  And imitating Liu Zhenhu, he successfully loaded the bullet chain into the magazine.  Liu Zhenhu still pulled the trigger crazily and fired wildly at the attacking Japanese crowd.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan, Shen Xingye and a guard company took several military trucks and rushed to Sujiatun carrying the mysterious wooden boxes.  Liu Guodong, who was integrating his troops and ready to go into battle at any time, learned of Zhang Xinghan's arrival.  hurriedly came out.  "Brigade, I did not fight this battle well, and more than half of the troops were killed or injured. Please punish me!" Liu Guodong stood up and saluted with a guilty look on his face.  "Okay, this battle was caused by the weather, not the fault of the command." Zhang Xinghan said, pointing to the military truck behind him and said to Liu Guodong: "Immediately bring someone to move all these boxes for me, and then give them to the artillery battalion.  Send it. " "What's in this box?" Liu Guodong asked curiously.  "Napalm." Zhang Xinghan didn't bother to explain, so he ordered: "Tell the artillery battalion to change to this bomb immediately, and immediately shell the front of our forward position. Remember, it is better to be inaccurate than to hit this napalm bomb."  We'll go up on our own." "Yes!" Liu Guodong didn't ask any more questions and immediately took people to unload it.  Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye and the guards to carry about a dozen wooden boxes in a row, took several 60mm mortars directly into the traffic trench, and ran towards the forward position.  “Kill Gaga!” A Japanese Shao Zuo who was in charge of commanding the battle saw that he was far away from the Northeastern Army’s forward position.?It was already less than two hundred meters away, and he immediately waved his command knife in great excitement.  About six to seven hundred Japanese soldiers rushed forward, roaring as if they had been given blood.  In their charge formation, the grenadiers and machine gunners were not idle, and they opened fire to cover.  Especially the Japanese grenade, the hit rate is extremely high at a distance of two to three hundred meters, almost hitting here and there.  The MG34 general machine gunners of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Japanese grenadiers.  The reason why Huzi died just now was because of the masterpiece of the Japanese grenadiers.  It was precisely the grenadiers that suppressed most of the machine gun firepower of the 1st Company, and the Japanese were able to charge so close.  The situation was so critical that Liu Zhenhu barely had time to change the barrel of his general-purpose machine gun.  At this moment, Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye rushed to the front line trenches with more than a hundred guards and fresh troops along the traffic trenches.  Most of the soldiers in the guard company were equipped with MP18 submachine guns. With their participation, they swept through the enemy's army and caused great damage to the Japanese.  At a distance of a hundred meters, hundreds of flower traps fire at the same time, and the power is extremely amazing.  Liu Zhenhu was in a frantic state and had no reaction to the arrival of reinforcements. He was still firing frantically and risking his life.  Zhang Xinghua felt that the figure of the person suddenly lying next to him looked familiar.  He turned around and said with surprise: "Brother, why are you here?" Zhang Xinghua, holding an MP18 submachine gun, was shooting at the Japanese army when he heard Zhang Xinghua shouting for himself.  He turned his head hurriedly and saw Zhang Xinghua's face was covered with blood. It was very scary. He hurriedly ran over: "Xinghua, are you okay? Why are you injured?" Zhang Xinghua seemed to have a look on his face and smiled bitterly.  He shook his head and said: "Brother, I'm fine." Zhang Xinghua looked reproachfully at Liu Zhenhu, who was still shouting and shooting, and said in a reproachful tone: "Xinghua, why did you come to the front? You know it's very dangerous here." "  Brother, I'm fine, so many brothers have died in the battle, of course I can't stay back and be a coward, right?" Zhang Xinghua said with warmth in his heart.  "Traveler, get ready." At this time, Shen Xingye ran over and reported.  "Yizhi, watch Xinghua here and protect him." After Zhang Xinghua said that, he got up and ran towards several mortars.  "Yes!" "Brother, I'm fine, I don't need to be protected." When Zhang Xinghua saw that Zhang Xinghan had walked away, he immediately said anxiously to Shen Xingye: "Brother Shen, go and protect my brother quickly. I can protect myself, it's okay.  "The brigade has an order, Shen Yizhi must carry it out, Xinghua, come here, I will be his ammunition hand," Shen Xingye said, pulling Zhang Xinghua away and taking over from him to hold up the ammunition belt for Liu Zhenhu.  When Zhang Xinghua saw this, he thought for a moment and chased Zhang Xinghan along the traffic ditch.  "Brother Xinghua, where are you going? Come back!" Shen Xingye was anxious, but couldn't get away.  Zhang Xinghan carried a submachine gun to the temporary artillery position of several mortars. More than a dozen artillerymen had already set up the guns, and several wooden boxes were all opened, revealing brand-new napalm bombs.  "Aim 150 meters in front of us and fire immediately." Zhang Xinghan ordered coldly.  "Yes!" The leading artilleryman responded, taking the lead in taking a napalm bomb from the ammunition hand, and skillfully loaded it into the mortar barrel.  "Tum!" A dull voice sounded, and the solidified incendiary bomb flew through the air with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.  After drawing an arc in the night sky, the hood fell towards the attacking Japanese army.  "Boom" The napalm bomb exploded on the ground. It was not as shocking as the high-explosive bomb, but the raging flames made the Japanese army suffer instantly.  If the burning liquid emitted by the napalm bombs touches the Japanese soldiers, they will immediately catch fire and cannot be extinguished.  Some Japanese soldiers screamed in fear and fell down and rolled in an attempt to put out the flames, but unexpectedly the flames flew around and soon his whole body was covered in flames.  The Japanese soldiers howled so violently that it was heartbreaking and heartbreaking.  When Zhang Xinghua arrived, several other main gunners also fired.  Several rounds of napalm bombs fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers one after another, like sparks falling into a flock of sheep, immediately setting dozens of Japanese soldiers on fire.  Dozens of Japanese soldiers ran and rolled in panic, howling miserably, and soon splashed flames onto other comrades-in-arms.  Not long after, all the Japanese soldiers who were touched turned into burning men and were burned to death.  &nbsp; At this time, dozens of large-caliber artillery pieces from the artillery battalion also began shelling.  Hundreds of napalm bombs rained down on the front of the 1st Company position.  Soon the entire front of the position turned into a sea of ????fire, and it was still a sea of ????fire that could not be extinguished.  The drizzle still falling in the sky was unable to effectively suppress the sea of ????fire.  "AhahhelpBensang-kun, help me" In the sea of ????fire, the Japanese soldiers who were on fire screamed heartbreakingly and ran for help.  The entire sea of ????fire is like a Shura hell, and it is too miserable to look at.  Zhang Xinghua was stunned, and the surviving officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion were also stunned. Not only was the miserable situation of the Japanese army, but the power of this weapon of mass destruction, which they had never seen before.  PS: There are three updates today. Yesterday’s two updates have all been made up. There will be another chapter before twelve o’clock in the evening. Please recommend, vote, collect, support and encourage me!  Thanks.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 75: No need for mercy when treating the enemy

    After staring blankly for more than ten minutes, the Japanese attack was completely crushed, most of the Japanese soldiers were burned into charred corpses, and the air was filled with a disgusting burning smell.  Only then did Zhang Xinghua react. He turned around and looked at Zhang Xinghan in shock, and asked, "Brother, what kind of weapon do you have that is so powerful?" "Napalm bombs are also called napalm bombs." Zhang Xinghan replied expressionlessly.  .  "Isn't it a little too cruel to use this kind of weapon of mass destruction?" Zhang Xinghua looked at the charred corpses everywhere and asked.  Zhang Xinghan glanced at his younger brother and said earnestly: "Xinghua, please remember one thing for me, that is, never be kind to your enemies at any time. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself." Zhang Xinghan  Of course, he would not tell his brother that if the Japanese army captured Shenyang and captured the entire Northeast, they would unscrupulously conduct bacterial gas experiments on living people, and conduct so-called inhumane scientific experiments such as human body anatomy.  Zhang Xinghua nodded vaguely.  ???……………… Headquarters of the Japanese 6th Division.  The commander of the 6th Division, Masaemon Sakamoto, and the Chief of Staff, Kotaro Uedanaka, were anxiously waiting for the results of the 11th Brigade.  During the suffocating wait, Sakamoto Masaemon couldn't help but pace back and forth with one hand behind his back, and smoked one cigarette after another.  Finally, after Sakamoto Masaemon smoked more than half of a pack of cigarettes, a communications lieutenant rushed out of the communications room.  Both Sakamoto Masaemon and Uedanaka Kotaro focused their attention on the communications lieutenant.  "Your Excellency General, urgent report from the 11th Brigade!" The communications lieutenant snapped his feet back and stood at attention in salute.  "Read it quickly!" Sakamoto Masaemon hurriedly signaled.  "The 11th Brigade reported urgently that our 47th Infantry Regiment was suddenly attacked by a large-scale arsonist and incendiary bomb by the Chinese during the attack just now. It was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The attack was frustrated again. The two main infantry regiments of the entire brigade have already  We have over half casualties, please give us urgent tactical guidance, Commander," the communications lieutenant opened the message and read quickly.  "What? Arson and incendiary bombs?" Sakamoto Masaemon was shocked when he heard this. He immediately burst into anger and cursed: "Bagaya Road, Zhang Xinghan is cunning. He sent me an order to concentrate all the artillery fire of our division on the Su family immediately.  "Hai!" the communications lieutenant suddenly lowered his head and left.  "General, what should we do next? The Chinese have large-scale gasoline and incendiary bombs, and a forced attack will inevitably cause extremely heavy losses to our attacking troops." Kotaro Uedanaka said with a worried look.  Masaemon Sakamoto pondered for a long time and said in a surprising way: "If the frontal attack is frustrated, then send a small force to make a detour at night and flank the rear of Sujiatun." "Well, that's the only way we can do it for now."  Uedanaka Kotaro nodded.  "Order that the 11th Brigade withdraw from the attack position for replenishment and recuperation, and that the 36th Brigade take over. The 36th Brigade is ordered to deploy 500 elite warriors to immediately conduct a roundabout attack at the rear of Sujiatun in order to cope with the main front of the brigade.  Defeat the enemy and capture Sujiatun," Masaemon Sakamoto immediately ordered.  "Hai, I'm going to personally give the order to the 36th Brigade immediately." Koutarou Uedanaka bowed his head and responded.  ???…………………Sujiatun Railway Station.  Zhang Xinghan led the first company of guards to leave the front-line trenches and handed over the defense to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment.  "Guodong, the Japanese army has suffered a defeat. They should not attack again in the short term. However, you must be more vigilant. Everything is just in case. You must not let the little devil take advantage of the loophole. Hold on until dawn tomorrow and I will send troops again.  Switch defenses with you." Walking towards the military truck, Zhang Xinghan did not forget to tell Liu Guodong who came to see him off.  "Brigade, in order to facilitate command, I have compressed the first and second battalions and temporarily combined them into a reinforced company. As for the position, again, as long as there is one person in the second regiment, the little devil can't even think about it.  "Jiatun has passed one step," Liu Guodong assured.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded, patted Liu Guodong's shoulder to encourage him, and then turned around and got into the military vehicle.  Shen Xingye commanded the officers and soldiers of the first guard company to also wait for the bus quickly, and soon they all got on the bus.  The convoy started slowly and turned around to return to Shenyang.  When Zhang Xinghan returned to the brigade headquarters with his guards, Zang Shiyi, who had just been released from prison, had been waiting for him for a long time, accompanied by Guo Zhong.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Zang Shiyi was a little embarrassed and couldn't stand still.  Zhang Xinghan didn’t pay attention. Instead, he greeted with a smile: “Governor of Tibet, have you gone home to see your father-in-law?” &nbsp"Well, see you." Zang Shiyi nodded quickly.  "How is your mother's health?" Zhang Xinghan walked into the war room and asked back.  "Thank you, Brigadier Zhang, for your concern. Fengjiu's mother is doing well." Zang Shiyi replied with a deeper guilt in his heart.  "Governor Zang, you are so polite." Zhang Xinghan suddenly turned around, stared at Zang Shiyi with a sharp gaze, and said, "Governor Zang, Xinghan released you today regardless of previous suspicions because of the national crisis. I need your help.  Help. Without talking too much nonsense, Xinghan only asks Governor Zang to put the national interests first and the hundreds of thousands of fellow villagers in Shenyang City. I can’t guarantee anything else, but please rest assured on one thing.  , As long as Zhang Xinghan is still breathing, as long as our garrison brigade has one soldier, Shenyang will not be lost. Therefore, Governor Zang is asked to devote himself to the work of logistics and appeasing the people in the city. After all, there are now ten more people in the city.  There are tens of thousands of homeless people. We can't let the people sleep on the streets day and night, right? As for Xinghan's disobedience to the commander's military order, I just want to say that the merits and demerits will be decided in the future. I hope the governor of Tibet will  Think carefully and think twice." After hearing Zhang Xinghan's heartfelt words, Zang Shiyi nodded hurriedly and apologized with a guilty look on his face: "What Brigadier Zhang said was that Zang Fengjiu was confused and almost made a big mistake, but he only woke up after his mother scolded him today.  "Commander Zhang is the barrier of Shenyang. Zang Fengjiu will fully support you in defending Shenyang City." "Well, I believe you." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Without further delay, let me first go to the city to get familiar with the actual number of compatriots in the city, and then formulate countermeasures." Zang Shiyi asked tentatively.  "Yes, but the city is now full of fish and dragons. For safety reasons, I asked Battalion Commander Guo to lead his entourage for protection." Zhang Xinghan said in an unquestionable tone.  "Thank you, Commander." Zang Shiyi understood in his heart and nodded in agreement without hesitation.  "By the way, you can put it away first to appease the people. You first go to the munitions warehouse in Shenyang Arsenal to see if there are any raincoats and other rainproof and cold-proof clothing and equipment. Send them to the Sujiatun garrison immediately." Zhang Xinghan suddenly said  Think of Tao.  "Okay, I'll do it right away." Zang Shiyi nodded in agreement, turned and left.  After getting a nod from Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong followed Zang Shiyi and strode away.  Changchun is nearly 300 kilometers away from Shenyang in a straight line. When Sabli led the cavalry regiment to bypass Changchun and enter Liaoning.  Because the entire railway line from Siping to Tieling to Shenyang was under the control of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Since the Japanese Kwantung Army did not have many troops in these areas, Sabli still chose to go around.  Because he knew that his mission was not to regain the lost territory along the railway, but to rush to Shenyang as soon as possible.  Therefore, in order to avoid fierce fighting with the Japanese troops stationed along the railway line and delaying the speed of the rescue, Sabli led the cavalry regiment southward through Siping as soon as they entered Liaoning.  Passing through Kangping and Diaobingshan areas, bypassing Kaiyuan and Tieling, we went straight to Shenyang.  On the dirt road from Diaobing Mountain to Liaohe River, Sabli and more than a thousand cavalry were marching towards Shenyang in the heavy rain.  "Drive! Drive!" Sabli took the lead, whipping his whip to urge the horse.  The war horse was galloping in pain, and its hooves couldn't stop running wildly. Wherever it passed, water and mud splashed everywhere.  "Captain, we have been traveling for almost a day, so we should stop and take a rest." An adjutant galloped to catch up with Sabli and shouted loudly.  "No, if we delay for one more minute, Shenyang will be in more danger." Since there is no radio, Sabli still doesn't know that the battle situation in Changchun has changed at this time, and said expressionlessly.  "However, if the soldiers can stand it, our horses can't stand it either. If we don't let them rest and eat, they will be exhausted to death before they reach Shenyang. Even if they are not exhausted, they will lose their strength." The adjutant said  He advised with earnest words.  Sabli thought for a while and said: "Okay, give the order, rest when you reach the Liaohe River, and cross the river again early tomorrow morning." "Yes!" The adjutant responded, then slowed down the horse, turned the horse's head and sent the order.  ???………………??Beiping City, the marshal’s residence.  The current Chief of Staff of the Northeast Army Rong Zhen reported to Zhang Xueliang with some excitement: "Young Marshal, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, and Ding Chao have all been defeated by Li Guilin and Jixing, and the Japanese army arrived in Shenyang yesterday afternoon and launched an attack  Attack, it is no longer possible for Li Du and the others to cross Changchun and rescue Shenyang." Zhang Xueliang was not happy at all, and asked with a gloomy face: "As far as I know, the reason why Li Du and the others were defeated was because of Ding.  Super directionDid they launch a sneak attack?  " "Thisshould be so.  "Rong Zhen had something in his heart but didn't dare to hide it. "Hmph, what kind of wishful thinking does this Ding Chao have?  Could it be that he also wanted to defect to the Japanese, so he deliberately launched an attack on Li Du to show his kindness to the Japanese?  "Zhang Xueliang is obviously very smart, and he hit the nail on the head. "I don't know about this humble position. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable during times of war.  "Rong Zhen said vaguely. "As the saying goes, adversity reveals a person's heart, and a long road reveals a horse's strength. Now that the national crisis is approaching, it will be clear who is loyal and who is traitorous. Zhang Xinghan's disobedience to our military orders is certainly hateful, but Ding Chao, Ji Xing, and Xi  The villain who waits to take advantage of the situation deserves death!  " Zhang Xueliang said with some emotion. He looked at Rong Zhen with some displeasure and said: "Chief of Staff Rong, to be honest, I regret adopting your previous strategy now. Although it prevented Li Du and the others from reinforcing Shenyang,  But it also created an opportunity for Ji Xing and Xiqia to take advantage of. Fortunately, Feng Zhanhai was loyal and showed up in time, otherwise the situation in Jilin would have become out of control.  Rong Zhen lowered his head with a guilty conscience and said, "I didn't think carefully about my humble position. Please punish me, Young Marshal."  "Forget it, now that Feng Zhanhai has joined, the situation in Jilin has temporarily maintained a balance, and everything is still under my control."  "Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and said. "Then young marshal, do you want to organize manpower to find a way to get rid of the two traitors Xiqia and Jixing?  "Rong Zhen asked flatteringly. "No need, Ji Xi and the two can be killed with a backhand!  "Zhang Xueliang said confidently. "Young Marshal, I want to see the Young Marshal" At this time, there was a burst of noise and chaotic footsteps outside.

    "Who is it? Making a loud noise?" Sensing the displeasure on Zhang Xueliang's brow, Rong Zhen quickly shouted out in a pretentious manner.  "Let me in Young Marshal, I am Huang Xiansheng, I want to see the Young Marshal" Huang Xiansheng's anxious and angry voice sounded outside.  "Let him in." Zhang Xueliang's voice came out unhurriedly before Rong Zhen could react.  Chen Dazhang, the adjutant outside, finally moved out of the way and Fang Huang Xiansheng walked in.  Huang Xiansheng’s appearance obviously surprised Zhang Xueliang and Rongzhen.  He has a sloppy beard, his military uniform is somewhat damaged, and is stained with dirt and dirt. He looks like a beggar.  "Alarm bell, why do you look like this?" Zhang Xueliang stood up from his seat and asked with a concerned look on his face.  Huang Xiansheng's slightly tired eyes looked at Zhang Xueliang, who had not seen him for many days, and he burst into tears in vain: "Young Marshal!" "Brother Jingzhong, what's wrong with you? Don't get excited, talk properly." Zhang Xueliang hurriedly advised him for no apparent reason.  road.  "Please Marshal, please send reinforcements to Shenyang quickly. I heard on the way to Peiping that the Japanese invaders have increased their troops by two divisions and launched another attack on Shenyang. Please Marshal, please send reinforcements quickly. If you wait too long, Shenyang will be in danger, and the Northeast will be in danger." Huang Xiansheng  He choked and lost his voice.  "Brother Alarm Bell, regarding the September 18th Incident, didn't I say that everything is decided by the central government. In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict, we need to be patient and restrained and wait for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the League of Nations to come forward to resolve it. So, what we need to do now is to be patient.  Wait for the opportunity." Zhang Xueliang said.  Huang Xiansheng stared at Zhang Xueliang with a burning gaze, which made Zhang Xueliang feel guilty and deliberately avoid him. He said in a deep voice: "Young Marshal! You are really confused! The Japanese have wanted to annex our three eastern provinces for more than a day or two. At this time,  Do you still believe in diplomatic mediation and League of Nations intervention? A weak country has no diplomacy. The League of Nations is determined not to offend Japan for China. If you want to protect the country's territorial integrity and defend national dignity, you can only resist without fear of life or death and loss.  "Brother Jingzhong, please calm down, I have my own sense of responsibility," Zhang Xueliang said, feeling a little embarrassed, and his tone gradually became colder.  "Young Marshal, how can you calm down the yellow alarm bell? Young Marshal is sitting on hundreds of thousands of troops. If you give an order, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Jinzhou front line can arrive at dawn and dusk to encircle the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Shenyang City. By then, they will be with Shenyang  The garrison brigade will attack from inside and outside to win a great victory. But now, Marshal, you are standing still and placing your hopes on the crappy League of Nations. You are sitting back and watching the Northeast's foundation decline. Soon, hundreds of thousands of our Northeast Army soldiers will be homeless.  Huang Xiansheng said emotionally.  "Japan's national strength is strong, and its military training and equipment are superior to ours. If it starts a war rashly, it will only give the Japanese invaders leverage and trigger their full-scale invasion of China. Do you think I can fight this war?" Zhang Xueliang was also a little angry.  Huang Xiansheng faced Zhang Xueliang's angry gaze with some frustration, and said word by word: "Young Marshal, don't you see Zhang Xinghan? Zhang Xinghan has less than 10,000 soldiers, is trapped in an isolated city, and fights bloody battles alone, but he still dares to fight the Japanese invaders and would rather die than surrender.  The young marshal has hundreds of thousands of troops. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the country's army, navy and air force, are you ashamed in comparison? " "Huang Jingzhong, you are so presumptuous, how can you talk to the young marshal?" Rong Zhen saw Zhang Xueliang's face turned pale.  He immediately yelled and shouted.  Huang Xiansheng glanced at Rong Zhen with great disdain, turned to look at Zhang Xueliang, and said: "Young Marshal, as the old saying goes, everyone is destined to die. It may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. As a senior general, guarding  On the other hand, I hope the young commander will think twice before doing anything." After saying this, Huang Xiansheng turned around and strode out without looking back.  Looking at Huang Xiansheng’s leaving figure, Zhang Xueliang’s face was ashen and his eyes were about to burst into flames.  "Young Marshal, Huang Xiansheng is arrogant and contradicts the Young Marshal. I will lead people to arrest him." Rong Zhen on the side saw this and took the opportunity to say.  Zhang Xueliang suppressed the anger in his heart and finally shook his head: "No, Huang Alarm Bell was picked up by me anyway. There is no need to get to know me." Rong Zhen smacked his lips and said nothing more.  ……………………… Late at night, Sujiatun Railway Station has become so quiet that you can hear it. Many soldiers snored sweetly, which was so clear and harsh in the dark night.  Resting took turns, and no less than a dozen warning sentries were left in the front trenches.  Coincidentally, Zhang Xinghua was among the dozen or so sentries on guard.  A soldier on duty with him had fallen asleep leaning on the trench.  Zhang Xinghua lay down behind the bunker conscientiously and carefully observed the place in front of the position.  From time to time, he would fire a flare to prepare for the sun.?Possible offense.  What makes Zhang Xinghua relieved is that the Japanese have not launched a raid since he was on duty until now.  At this time, the rain has begun to gradually decrease. If it continues like this, it will stop raining tomorrow at the latest.  Zhang Xinghua didn’t know how cruel the battle would become for both sides if the weather cleared. He only knew that once the weather cleared, the soldiers would no longer have to fight in the rain.  At the same time that Zhang Xinghua fired another illumination bomb, about 500 Japanese soldiers quietly left their attack position and disappeared into the rainy night.  At the same time, inside the Second Regiment headquarters behind the train station.  Regiment leader Liu Guodong put on a helmet, picked up a submachine gun and left the regiment headquarters with about a platoon of guards.  Just in case, he was going to inspect the position.  Liu Guodong’s caution not only saved his life, but also saved the lives of nearly 2,000 garrison soldiers at Sujiatun Railway Station.  When he came to the rear of the defense line with a platoon of guards, gunfire suddenly rang out from the direction of his regiment, followed by explosions and scarlet fire.  Liu Guodong looked back and saw that his regiment headquarters had turned into a sea of ??fire, and countless Japanese soldiers appeared one after another in the dark night like ghosts.  "Pah hookpah hook" The unique sound of the Sanba Gai was mixed with the sound of the Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun.  The sound of grenade mortar shelling also followed.  Liu Guodong was taken aback. He immediately opened the safety of his submachine gun and shouted: "Get ready to fight." Dozens of guards quickly dispersed and prepared for battle. Not long after, the defeated troops who stayed at the regiment headquarters retreated.  Liu Guodong immediately stopped a defeated soldier and asked: "What's going on?" "Regiment, regimental seat, the Japanese came out of nowhere. The regiment headquarters has been blown up and captured by them." The defeated soldier was trembling with fear.  replied.  "The machine gunners set up all the general-purpose machine guns for me, hold them up for me!" Liu Guodong turned around and shouted sternly.  Several machine gunners quickly grabbed a favorable position with the general-purpose machine gun and set it up. After a while, three MG34 general-purpose machine guns were set up, with the muzzles pointed forward, ready to go.  Other guards also opened the safety of their Garand semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, and pointed their muzzles forward.  After capturing the headquarters of the Second Regiment, the Japanese took the opportunity to rush towards the rear of the Second Regiment's defensive position.  It seems that they want to defeat the second group from behind in one fell swoop, without the slightest surprise.  Liu Guodong immediately ordered the guard platoon to open fire, and three MG34 general-purpose machine guns were the first to roar.  Dozens of Garand rifles and submachine guns also opened fire one after another.  In the dark night, bullets cut through the darkness like a meteor shower and rushed toward the Japanese.  Some of the Japanese who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground in an instant.  However, the combat quality of this Japs was obviously extraordinary. After their attack was thwarted, they immediately stopped their blind charge, dispersed on the spot, and started to fire back while relying on obstacles.  Although Liu Guodong's guard platoon is well-equipped, its military strength is at an absolute disadvantage, and the combat effectiveness of this group of Japanese soldiers is extraordinary.  Soon the three machine guns were shut down, relying on the stubborn resistance of the submachine gun with an astonishing rate of fire and the semi-automatic rifle with high endurance.  Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Guodong immediately led more than 20 surviving guards to retreat towards the rear of the train station's position while fighting.  At this time, the reinforced company remaining in reserve also came out from the second-line position.  Liu Guodong immediately led them to retreat to the second line of defense. At this moment, the forward position suddenly erupted with gunfire and gunfire.  Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan said to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, you immediately send someone to notify the next three new regiments and tell them that at five o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will gather at the south gate of the city." "Okay, I will send someone to inform them immediately." Shen Xingye nodded.  Replied.  "Okay, you go ahead, I'll take a rest." Zhang Xinghan yawned a little tiredly.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye saluted and turned to leave.  Just as Zhang Xinghan was about to walk towards the bedroom, there was suddenly a heavy sound of gunfire outside.  Zhang Xinghan's face was startled, and he hurriedly called out to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, what's going on? Where are the shootings going?" "It seems to be in the direction of Sujiatun." Shen Xingye replied while standing in the yard.  PS: Sanjiang tickets, please ask for all kinds of things, brothers, please do your best!

    "Sujiatun?" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly ran out of the brigade headquarters compound and stood at the door of the compound looking in the direction of Sujiatun.  I saw fires rising one after another there, and gunshots like rain.  Through the sound of gunfire, Zhang Xinghan could imagine the intensity of the fierce fighting in Sujiatun.  "Pass my order, the third regiment and the first battalion will immediately go forward to support Sujiatun! The armored cavalry company and the first and second companies of the guard battalion will gather immediately and follow me out of the city to help." Zhang Xinghan immediately turned to Shen Xingye and ordered.  Shen Xingye quickly took the order and left, and soon the two guard companies were gathered together.  At the same time, the messenger also conveyed Zhang Xinghan’s order to Li Zhenyuan, commander of the armored cavalry company stationed not far from the brigade headquarters.  Li Zhenyuan was originally the captain of the armored combat convoy directly under the **7th Brigade.  When Wang Yizhe left the chariot fleet to Zhang Xinghan to guard Shenyang, he naturally stayed with him.  After receiving the order, Li Zhenyuan immediately led about 80 cavalrymen and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles to the street outside the brigade headquarters.  At this time, the first and second companies of the guard battalion have completed their assembly.  Zhang Xinghan turned over and mounted a war horse with an MP18 submachine gun. He waved the submachine gun and said, "Brothers, there is an emergency in Sujiatun. Follow me!" More than two hundred guards, led by Shen Xingye, started to move, following Zhang Xinghan.  after.  Li Zhenyuan immediately ordered the armored cavalry company to follow.  When Zhang Xinghan led his elite reinforcements out of the city, Wang Yicai had already sent three battalions straight to Sujiatun for reinforcements.  On the Sujiatun position, thousands of the main force of the Japanese 36th Brigade took the opportunity to launch a fierce charge towards the forward position guarded by the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment.  The 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion, which was standing at the forefront, had suffered more than half of its casualties. Fortunately, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment stepped up in time and joined the battle.  1st Company Commander Liu Zhenhu was unfortunately hit in the arm by a stray bullet and was seriously injured. ???????????????????????? However, he couldn’t stand the firing line, so he simply asked the medical soldiers to bandage him, and then he once again fired an MG34 general-purpose machine gun and started firing to suppress the Japanese army.  Zhang Xinghua held an MP18 submachine gun he picked up from somewhere in his hand. He aimed a random sweep at the outside of the trench, and then took back the gun while panting.  Sitting in the trench, he could clearly feel bullets whizzing by with scorching heat above his head.  So much so that he didn't even dare to show his head and shoot, because in the fierce battle just now, he witnessed too many people being shot in the head by bullets fired from unknown sources, and the bullets shot out from the back of their heads.  Bring out a large piece of red and white mixture and a piece of skull.  The trenches were filled with fallen comrades, and fewer and fewer people were left fighting alive.  Zhang Xinghua’s heart was suppressed by fear.  “Da da da… boom boom…” Amidst the explosions of guns and artillery, Su Hanyun’s beautiful figure and sweet smile emerged in his mind.  Thinking back to every bit of the past on campus, getting along day and night, and remembering the heroic words and feats I said before joining the army.  "Hanyun, I'm not a coward, I'm not afraid of death." Zhang Xinghua roared twice, suddenly turned around, raised his submachine gun and fired fiercely at the outside.  It wasn’t until he had emptied all the remaining bullets in the magazine and knocked down several Japanese soldiers that he hurriedly retreated back to the trench.  With his back against the trench, he looked around in rough clothes looking for spare magazines. Soon, he saw a fallen soldier not far away with two submachine gun magazines on his body.  He quickly crawled over on his knees, replaced the magazine, inserted another ammunition bag into his body, stood up in vain and started a new round of shooting.  "Click, click, click" The MP18 submachine gun let out a series of roars, and the hot bullets were like rain, knocking down several Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard.  Behind the position, Liu Guodong led a guard platoon and the reduced reinforced company relied on the fortifications, and finally blocked the attack of this elite group of Japanese.  As the battle progressed, the advantages of Liu Guodong's weapons and equipment began to gradually show up.  However, at this time, a communications soldier ran from the front along the communication trench, found Liu Guodong and reported urgently: "Captain Liu, the Japanese offensive is too fierce. Our Second Battalion can hardly withstand it. Our Du  Battalion Commander, please think of a solution quickly. "Where is the third battalion? The third battalion goes to the front line!" Liu Guodong shouted urgently.  "The third battalion has already gone up, but they suffered heavy losses!" An officer on the side turned his head and answered despite the rain of bullets.  "Tell the brothers, as soon as the gunfire rings out, the brigade will definitely send reinforcements to support us. If you hold on a little longer, you will never retreat without permission, even if the entire regiment is exhausted!" Liu Guodong ordered the communications soldier.  "Yes!" The communications soldier solemnly saluted with a military salute, bent his waist and walked along the traffic trench.Run all the way.  Inside the 36th Brigade Headquarters.  Major General Mitsuru Ushijima, commander of the Japanese 36th Brigade, was pacing back and forth anxiously.  Listening to the increasingly intensive gunshots and explosions outside, Ushijima Mitsuru couldn't help but ask: "How is the progress?" "Your Excellency, General, Okamoto Town Minister Colonel has personally led the 23rd Infantry Regiment to launch a charge. Task Force  The team also attacked the enemy's rear, but the enemy's resistance was very tenacious," replied a Japanese lieutenant on the side.  "Tell Okamoto-kun that we must capture Sujiatun as soon as possible, otherwise once the Chinese reinforcements arrive in the city, all our efforts will be in vain." Ushijima said with a solemn face.  "Hai!" the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel responded and took the order.  At the same time, inside the temporary headquarters of the 6th Division.  Sakamoto Masaemon was also very anxious, and said to Chief of Staff Uedanaka Kotaro: "Ueda-kun, how is the progress of the 36th Brigade?" "It is still fighting fiercely, and it should not be won yet, otherwise General Ushijima Mitsuru should have reported victory long ago.  "Yes." Uedanaka Kotaro replied.  "If this continues, the Shina people will bring reinforcements." Masaemon Sakamoto looked anxious and said, "Can the 6th Cavalry Regiment be sent up to support the 36th Brigade's detour task force?" "General, I'm afraid that's the case.  No, because Sujiatun is located on the east bank of the Hun River Basin. If you want to go around to the rear of Sujiatun to launch an attack, you must cross the tributaries of the Hun River. A small group of infantry can barely make it, but it will be much more troublesome for the cavalry to cross the river.  " Uedanaka Kotaro replied.  "Yes." Masaemon Sakamoto nodded in agreement. The terrain restrictions highlighted the importance of Sujiatun, and also restricted the 6th Division's superior strength from being fully deployed.  Of course, it is not impossible to bypass Sujiatun and directly cross the Hun River and Nan Canal to launch an attack on Shenyang.  It’s just that the Northeastern Army in Sujiatun will seriously threaten the Japanese army’s flanks and rear.  Therefore, before directly attacking Shenyang, the Japanese army had to remove Sujiatun.  And according to the instructions of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the mission of the 6th Division is to capture Sujiatun and attract the attention of the Shenyang defenders.  Create opportunities for the 2nd Division and the 20th Division to encircle Shenyang.  ………………… While the garrison brigade and the 6th Division were fighting fiercely in Sujiatun, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji had already arrived in Liaoyang by train.  At the same time, the 2nd Division and the 20th Division were also marching towards Shenyang in the rain.  "Ishihara-kun, the 6th Division is attacking Sujiatun overnight. The main attention of Shenyang's defenders has been drawn to Sujiatun. It's time to implement my surprise attack plan." Seishiro Itagaki said at the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Liaoyang County.  "Well, the key to the Battle of Shenyang is air supremacy. The reason why we failed last time was because the Chinese defenders had absolute air superiority and caused heavy casualties to the imperial army. So I fully agree with your raid plan, Mr. Itagaki.  ." Ishihara smiled.  "Well, I have ordered Colonel Kawamoto to lead the assault force to advance towards Shenyang with the 2nd Division. It is expected that the attack on Dongta Airport will be launched soon." Seishiro Itagaki clenched his fists coldly and said: "This time, I want to  A shameful apology!"

    Ahead was Sujiatun. Zhang Xinghan took the lead and led an armored cavalry company and two guard companies across the Hunhe River Bridge controlled by the Third Regiment and headed straight for the war-torn Sujiatun Station.  "Drive!" Zhang Xinghan held the MP18 submachine gun in one hand and the reins in the other, and galloped wildly.  Behind him were about eighty cavalrymen, all equipped with an MP18 submachine gun.  Li Zhenyuan personally drove a Renault tank and led more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles to follow the cavalry.  Shen Xingye’s infantry guards fell at the back.  However, when Zhang Xinghan and others passed the Hunhe Bridge, Li Zhenyuan and other armored soldiers accelerated in vain.  Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry to give way and letting armored vehicles and tanks attack from the front was the safest way at the moment.  Because the enemy situation this time is unknown, it is different from the last Japanese defeat.  In the Sujiatun Railway Station, Major Sakamoto, the captain of the task force, was anxiously scolding his subordinates to attack.  The tenacious resistance of the defenders exceeded Major Sakamoto's imagination, although at the beginning, they attacked and killed the defenders' regiment headquarters and artillery positions.  But what Major Sakamoto didn’t expect was that Liu Guodong, the commander of this unit, actually escaped.  "Your Majesty, Major, a batch of solidified incendiary bombs were found." A Japanese artillery officer braved the rain of bullets and came to Major Sakamoto to report.  "Frozen incendiary bombs?" Major Sakamoto's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Use it immediately, aim at the Chinese position, quick!"  A stray bullet hit him and he fell to the ground immediately.  Upon seeing this, Major Sakamoto shouted urgently: "Kobayashi-kun, Kobayashi-kun." After calling several times but no response, Major Sakamoto immediately became furious and punched the bunker hard, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Cover me!" Several machine guns  The commanders opened fire desperately and exchanged fire with Liu Guodong and the others, taking advantage of this gap.  Major Sakamoto rushed out of the bunker with his waist bent and rolled a few times on the ground. The dense bullets always fell behind him, causing sewage flowers to rise.  With his strong skills, Major Sakamoto successfully arrived at several of his own mortar positions.  "Where are the captured napalm bombs? Use them immediately, fire at the Chinese, quickly!" Sakamoto ordered with rapid breathing.  "Hai!" More than a dozen Japanese artillerymen and a group of ammunition handlers began to get busy.  When the Japanese ammunition carriers and artillerymen brought over a batch of captured napalm bombs, they were ready to fire.  The alert sentry behind them suddenly fired a warning shot, before Major Sakamoto could react.  A dense roar of machine guns followed, followed by the explosion of artillery shells.  When the fire suddenly appeared, Major Sakamoto clearly saw that the security squad he had left to guard Shenyang was instantly wiped out.  Immediately afterwards, armored combat vehicles and tanks rumbled over, and one of the tank guns was aimed at his location.  "Boom!" The tank gun fired in vain. There was a flash of fire and a 37mm high-explosive projectile flew from the chamber.  Major Sakamoto was terrified and quickly escaped, but it was too late.  The shell fell instantly and a violent explosion occurred.  In the explosion, the boxes of napalm bombs were exploded, and a series of even greater explosions occurred.  The earth shook, scarlet flames shot up into the sky, and flames formed by the fragmentation of countless napalm bombs shot out in all directions like a meteor shower.  Major Sakamoto was the first to bear the brunt, and instantly turned into a man whose whole body was on fire, and a tragic wailing sounded immediately.  "Brothers, kill!" Zhang Xinghan roared from behind the armored tank, waving his gun.  With more than 80 cavalrymen pouring out from the wings of tanks and armored vehicles, the horses charged towards the Sakamoto task force as fast as the wind.  "Click, click, click" This time, Zhang Xinghan and the others did not rush to use sabers. Instead, they first used submachine guns to start a large-scale firepower sweep.  Wherever the cavalry went, the Japanese troops who were caught off guard were shot and fell in groups.  Upon seeing this, Liu Guodong also held guns with both hands and fired fiercely. He immediately jumped out of the trench and waved his arms: "Brothers, the reinforcements are here, kill!" "Kill! Charge!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the reinforced company and guard platoon immediately shouted.  They jumped up and followed Liu Guodong to charge towards the Japanese army.  The cavalry led by Zhang Xinghan quickly used up a full magazine. The cavalry hung their submachine guns diagonally behind their backs and drew out their sharp swords.  "Kill!" Zhang Xinghan roared angrily, waving his sharp saber, and galvanized his horse to rush towards the ghosts who had fled in all directions.Soldiers.  "Kill! Kill!" More than eighty cavalrymen waved their sabers and began to chase.  Li Zhenyuan commanded tanks and armored vehicles to block the Japanese's escape route, and used vehicle-mounted machine guns to conduct fire blockades.  Not long after, more than 500 Japanese soldiers from the Sakamoto Task Force were killed.  "Li Zhenyuan, immediately lead the tanks and armored companies to counterattack the Japanese troops from both sides of the position. Quick!" After hacking to death the last Japanese soldier who resisted, Zhang Xinghan, holding a sword full of blood, rode up to a Renault tank.  , ordered.  "Yes!" Li Zhenyuan ordered, immediately started the tanks, and continued to rush forward with more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles.  "Brigade leader, you are despicable and incompetent. You almost lost Sujiatun. Please punish us!" Liu Guodong, leader of the second regiment, came to Zhang Xinghan's horse and lowered his head in shame.  "Stop talking nonsense, gather the team immediately and prepare to counterattack!" Zhang Xinghan urged, knocking Liu Guodong's helmet with the back of his saber.  "Yes!" Liu Guodong immediately turned around and shouted to the surviving soldiers of the reinforced company and guard platoon: "Follow me." The main attacking force of the Japanese 36th Brigade did not know that the Sakamoto Task Force had been completely wiped out, so at this time it was still  Attacking the forward position of the Second Regiment.  Under the continuous fierce attacks by the Japanese army, the two main battalions of the 3rd Regiment's 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Regiment's 3rd Battalion had suffered two-thirds casualties.  The position is already in danger, at this critical moment.  Li Zhenyuan led more than 20 Renault tanks and armored vehicles to suddenly rush out, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns roared loudly.  The dense bullets rushed towards the attacking Japanese like tongues of fire.  "Boom, boom" The tank guns also opened fire at the right time, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese and setting back the offensive.  At this time, Liu Guodong led the remaining troops to the front-line trenches in time and stabilized the defense line.  Li Zhenyuan led the tanks and armored vehicles to continue their assault on the Japanese army. Under the double blow of vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns, the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were shot and fell to the ground.  When the Japanese were in chaos, Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry to launch an assault. Seeing this, Liu Guodong also led the infantry to jump out of the trenches and launched a countercharge against the Japanese army.  ????????????????????While the fierce battle in Sujiatun was going on.  Located at Dongta Airport in the east of Shenyang City, a squad of the former airport garrison battalion that has been organized into a regiment is conducting routine patrols on the west bank of the South Canal outside the airport.  As early as during the day, a large number of ground staff had secretly been transferred to Beiling Airport to help pilots become familiar with and practice new fighter aircraft.  “After all, Beiling Airport is ready, so there is no need for the Air Force to transfer the 150 new fighters to Dongta Airport.  What’s more, there are more than a hundred aircraft of various types in the Dongta Airport, and it cannot accommodate so many fighters.  Therefore, at this time, only one reinforced company of the regiment is stationed at Dongta Airport.  "The one on duty tonight is the 1st platoon of the 3rd battalion and 1st company of the 1st regiment. The platoon leader is Niu Erzhu who has just been transferred from the 1st battalion.  Due to his outstanding performance in the last battle, Niu Erzhu has been promoted from squad leader to second lieutenant platoon leader.  Except for the routine patrol of one squad sent out, two of the remaining three squads of Niu Erzhu Platoon guarded the front fortifications outside the airport, and one guarded the airport gate.  The remaining three platoons are resting at the airport.  When the patrol squad arrived at Niujiatun, a soldier suddenly discovered a strange noise in the grass by the river and quickly reported it to the squad leader.  More than a dozen soldiers held guns in their hands and walked toward the river vigilantly.  At this moment, about a dozen black shadows suddenly appeared behind them. Each of these black shadows held sharp blades and rushed at the patrol squad whose attention was attracted by the grass with lightning speed.  When some soldiers noticed something unusual and turned around to find out, they were greeted by sharp bayonets.  "Puff, puff!" The sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh were heard one after another. More than a dozen patrol soldiers, including the squad leader, fell into a pool of blood one after another, unable to even make a cry.  These Japs were obviously masters of fighting. They struck quickly and covered the mouths of the patrols, killing them with one move, leaving them unable to react or warn them.  After taking care of the dozen patrols of the garrison brigade, they quickly put on the military uniforms and weapons of the garrison brigade.  At the same time, a large number of Japanese soldiers suddenly emerged from the dense grass on the river bank, numbering no less than a hundred.  At the same time, there was the sound of rowing boats on the other side of the river, and it was obvious that there were still Japanese soldiers coming towards the west bank.  When no less than 300 people gathered on the west bank, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had put on the uniforms and weapons of the garrison brigade patrol were ordered to head east.??Go in the direction of the airport.  A Japanese colonel looked at his watch and said to several subordinates squatting beside him: "Remember, our mission is to destroy all the fighter planes in the East Tower Airport. After completing this goal, there is no need to fight and evacuate quickly."  "Hai!" Several Japanese officers lowered their heads and responded.  "Let's take action." The Japanese commander took an MP18 submachine gun hanging on his body and ordered in a low voice.

    In the front fortification outside Dongta Airport.  Except for the necessary sentries, most of the nearly thirty officers and soldiers of the two squads of the garrison brigade were leaning in the trenches and falling asleep at the moment.  At the airport gate, platoon leader Niu Erzhu and a soldier walked towards the fortification as usual.  When Niu Erzhu walked into the fortification for a routine inspection, the "fourth squad" in charge of patrol came back.  Seeing this, Niu Erzhu kicked a sleeping sergeant squad leader and urged: "Old Wang, wake up quickly, it's your squad's turn to take over the patrol duty from the fourth squad." Sergeant Wang rubbed his eyes and stood up.  Start calling the whole class of soldiers to assemble.  Niu Erzhu then turned around and greeted the fourth squad who was about to enter the fortification: "How are you, Lao Zhou? Nothing unusual, right?" However, the fourth squad squad leader Zhou did not answer, and there was no one among the dozen or so soldiers of the fourth squad.  In response, he continued walking toward the fortifications with his head down and his gun on his back.  Niu Erzhu suddenly became alert and shouted again uncertainly: "Old Zhou? What's going on? Why are you silent?" There was still no response from Class Four. Niu Erzhu immediately pulled out his gun and shouted loudly: "Stop?"  A dozen soldiers from the fourth squad suddenly made an astonishing move. The leader quickly took off the Garand rifle from his back, raised the gun and shot in the direction of Niu Erzhu.  “Bang!” The bullet hit the fortification bunker next to Niu Erzhu.  "They are the enemy! Get ready to meet the enemy!" Niu Erzhu was shocked and quickly fired back.  At this time, the dozen or so Japs behind the leader had quickly dispersed.  And began to shoot at Niu Erzhu and their fortifications. The Garand rifle was in the hands of the well-trained Japanese with extremely accurate marksmanship, and its power increased exponentially.  Many officers and soldiers of Niu Erzhu Platoon had just woken up from their sleep. Just when they wanted to stand up and show their heads to find out, they were shot in the head by the Japanese with a precise shot.  The continuous firepower of the Garand rifle was also fully utilized by the Japanese. They worked in groups of three and continuously fired short bursts at the second column of cattle.  It’s more powerful than a submachine gun.  Niu Erzhu's two classes were soon suppressed by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and were unable to hold their heads up.  At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers from a squad guarding the airport gate came in timely reinforcements and fired back with fierce firepower, giving Niu Erzhu and the others a precious breathing space.  Taking advantage of part of the Japanese firepower being attracted by our own reinforcements, Niu Erzhu and the soldiers raised their heads and shot.  "Pa bang bang" After a rapid burst of shooting, two Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.  However, nearly half of the soldiers in the squad that came for reinforcements were knocked down by a few short bursts of Japanese fire.  The sound of gunfire has alerted the main force of the reinforced company in the airport. Nearly 150 people from three reinforced platoons are urgently gathering under the command of a captain and company commander.  A regiment of garrison troops in the east of Shenyang City was also alerted, and about a platoon of troops was coming here for reinforcements.  However, just when Niu Erzhu Platoon was in a stalemate with the Japanese, the Japanese brigade arrived.  In addition to the fierce firing of hundreds of rifles and submachine guns.  The two MG34 general-purpose machine guns of the fourth squad were fully utilized by the Japanese.  There was a roar that was very familiar and frightening to the officers and soldiers of the Niu Second Pillar Platoon.  The dense bullets immediately suppressed the soldiers of Niu Erzhu Platoon again, and the remaining soldiers of the reinforcement squad were all knocked down.  Niu Erzhu pushed away a dead machine gunner, personally picked up an MG34 machine gun and started to fight back.  However, before he could fire many rounds, a 50mm grenade flew out of the 50mm grenade and landed directly on the machine gun bunker of Niu Erzhu.  There was an explosion immediately, and Niu Erzhu was knocked to the ground. Several soldiers around him also suffered heavy casualties.  Hundreds of Japs, especially the dozen or so Japs forwards pretending to be members of the Fourth Squadron, immediately took the opportunity to swarm forward.  Niu Erzhu’s life or death was unknown. The dozen or so soldiers who survived in the trenches were quickly overwhelmed by the Japanese army, and all of them died heroically.  After taking down the fortifications, the Japanese army launched a non-stop charge towards the airport.  They happened to meet head-on with the main force of the reinforcement company who came out from the airport to reinforce the second column platoon.  A close-range firefight began. Not only did this Japs have a large number of people, they were also equipped with a considerable number of submachine guns. In addition, their commander was very smart and ordered the follow-up troops to capture Galan who had been equipped with dozens of garrison brigades.  German rifle.  Therefore, after a single shot, the reinforcement company suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat towards the airport.  As soon as the reinforcement company retreated, the Japanese soldiers immediately took advantage of the situation and chased in. As a result, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the airportAll the anti-aircraft guns were too late to be used.  Intensifying their retreat, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns soon fell into the hands of the Japanese.  The Japanese soldiers, who had suffered heavy losses from anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, very cleverly turned the muzzle of their guns and aimed them at the remnants of the reinforced company who were stubbornly resisting.  Under such fierce firepower, the reinforced company suffered heavy casualties, and finally had to abandon the airport and evacuate hastily to the west.  Seeing that the reinforced company was escaping, the Japanese colonel did not order a pursuit, but left a small team to man the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to guard the airport gate.  The rest of the people were all sent by him to carry out the blasting mission.  When a platoon of reinforcements from the east gate of the regiment rushed outside the airport gate, they were immediately hit by fierce firepower from anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.  After suffering heavy losses, they had no choice but to retreat and call for reinforcements from the city.  However, before the reinforcements arrived, there was an earth-shaking explosion in the airport. Looking from a distance, I saw a raging fire in the airport, and the fire soared into the sky with the explosion.  The huge sound resounded throughout Shenyang and could be clearly heard for dozens of miles away.  On the Sujiatun battlefield, after a bloody battle, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to finally defeat the attacking troops of the Japanese 36th Brigade and defended the Sujiatun Station.  However, when the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded.  A violent explosion in the direction of Dongta Airport suddenly sounded. Zhang Xinghan looked in the direction of Dongta Airport with a shocked face. Hearing the deafening successive explosions, he was stunned on the spot.  "The group seat is in the direction of Dongta Airport. Could it be that something happened at the airport?" Liu Guodong, the leader of the second group, said with a surprised look on his face.  "Guodong, I'll leave this to you. I'll leave the two guard companies with you. I'll wait for the armored cavalry company to go back and take a look." Zhang Xinghan made a decision immediately.  "Yes! Please be careful, sir." Liu Guodong said.  ??…………………………………………… At the East Tower Airport, Colonel Kawamoto Shiro looked at the East Tower Airport that was in a sea of ??flames with a proud look on his face, and immediately withdrew calmly with his troops.  The platoon that came out from the east gate to support suffered heavy casualties and was unable to pursue it.  By the time Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment, led the main force of the regiment to arrive from the city, Shiro Kawamoto had already led his troops to evacuate the west bank.  Not long after, Zhang Xinghan also arrived with his armored cavalry company.  Liu Jianguo walked up to Zhang Xinghan with a guilty look on his face: "Host, it was my negligence that led to the fall and destruction of the East Tower Airport. Please punish me!" "Which company is guarding the airport?" Zhang Xinghan looked at the sea of ??fire in the East Tower.  Tajiang Airport asked coldly.  "The Ninth Company is a strengthened company." Liu Jianguo replied.  "Kill the company commander!" Zhang Xinghan said coldly.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo readily agreed without hesitation.  Looking at Dongta Airport, which was burning and exploding from time to time, Zhang Xinghan said to himself with great joy: Fortunately, there is Beiling Airport

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 80: Although the Northeast is huge, we have no way to retreat

    Zhang Xinghan stood outside Dongta Airport, which was in a sea of ??flames. He lit a cigarette with a frown and said to Liu Jianguo, who had just executed the execution order: "Jianguo, just in case, immediately strengthen the defense force of Beiling Airport. We must not continue  Let this happen a second time. " "Yes, I'll make arrangements right away." Liu Jianguo accepted the order happily and turned around to leave again.  At this time, the soldiers of the first regiment had begun to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded.  When several soldiers searched and rescued the front trench, they found that the body of a fallen soldier was suddenly overturned.  Immediately afterwards, a second lieutenant officer, whose face was covered with dirt and his body was covered in blood, staggered to his feet.  Several soldiers were startled at first, then immediately stepped forward to support them, shouting in surprise: "Medical soldier, come here quickly, there is still someone alive here!" Zhang Xinghan, who was standing not far away, turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that there were already two medical personnel.  The soldier rushed over carrying a first aid kit.  Niu Erzhu stabilized his shaky body with the help of several soldiers. He looked around and asked, "Where are my brothers? Where are they?" Several soldiers couldn't bear to tell each other and kept silent and bowed their heads.  no answer.  Suddenly, there was another explosion in the airport. Niu Erzhu reflexively broke away from the support and struggled to climb out of the trench. He saw that the airport was already a sea of ????fire, and the bodies of fallen soldiers were everywhere.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan came over. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, Niu Erzhu fell to his knees with a plop, and choked with sorrow and guilt: "Brigade, I failed to guard the airport because of my humble duty, and let little Japan take advantage of it. You can kill me."  "At this time, another second lieutenant platoon leader of the regiment came over. Knowing that Zhang Xinghan had already shot a company commander, he quickly defended Niu Erzhu and said, "Brigade commander, it's not that he didn't try his best. They were platoon five.  More than a dozen soldiers all died for the country, and even he survived by chance." Zhang Xinghan moved slightly, stepped forward to help Niu Erzhu up, and said: "Brother, you and your subordinates are both good, that's why I shot him.  Your company commander, because of his stupid and pig-like command, not only lost the airport, but also ruined the lives of nearly two hundred soldiers. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in the airport were left unused, and in turn were seized by the Japanese and used to attack us.  Such a commander is a stupid pig, and he will kill more soldiers if he stays behind to command." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan patted Niu Erzhu on the shoulder and said, "From now on, you are the captain and commander of the first company of the third battalion of the regiment. Do your best!  " Niu Erzhu seemed to be in a dream. It wasn't until someone next to him secretly pushed him that he realized what he was doing. He stood upright in surprise and said, "Thank you for not killing me. Niu Erzhu will set an example in the future and kill the enemy bravely to serve the country!"   ……………………… 6th Division Headquarters.  The division commander, Masaemon Sakamoto, was furious. He used a full brigade of troops, detoured from the flanks and attacked from the front, but he was still completely defeated.  How can he not be annoyed, how can he not be angry?  But the anger was due to anger. The 6th Division, which had been fighting fiercely with the garrison brigade for nearly a day and night, was now extremely exhausted.  The two main brigades also suffered heavy losses, but Sakamoto Masaemon had no choice but to order a halt to the attack and seize the time to rest and prepare for another battle in the future.  At the same time, the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Liaoyang.  A Japanese communications soldier strode into the headquarters conference room holding a telegram, stood up and saluted Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara with a smile: "Sir, there is an urgent call from Kawamoto Osaka." "Oh? Read it quickly!" Itagaki Seishiro was very excited.  He stood up and waved his hand.  "Kawamoto Osaka sent an urgent message that our raid plan was a complete success. After fierce fighting, we wiped out most of the defenders of the China Airport and destroyed the entire airport. In addition, we captured a batch of advanced equipment used by the enemy in Shenyang." The communications force quickly opened the door.  The message read.  "Youxi, it's great. It destroyed the enemy's air force in Shenyang. The imperial army will win this battle. Shenyang can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!" Itagaki Seishiro said excitedly after hearing this.  The thoughtful Ishihara Wanji waved his hand to the communications soldier who was about to retreat and asked: "You just said that Colonel Kawamoto reported in the message that a batch of new weapons had been seized?" "Yes, sir." Communications Corps  He nodded.  "Immediately call back to Colonel Kawamoto and ask him to send these new weapons to Liaoyang as soon as possible." Ishihara Wanji ordered.  "Hai." The communications soldier nodded and retreated.  Itagaki Seishiro said with some confusion: "Ishihara-kun, what's the problem?" "Itagaki-kun, don't you think the combat effectiveness of the enemy in Shenyang, especially the firepower, is a bit unreasonable?" Ishihara Wanji asked in return.  Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said: "In the last battle in Shenyang, the Chinese people's firepower was relatively powerful, but I did notNo abnormalities were found, because judging from the sound of gunshots, they were probably equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. After all, the strength of the Shenyang Arsenal was there.  " "If the facts are true as Itagaki-kun said, then why did Colonel Kawamoto say in the message that they had seized a batch of new weapons?  "Ishihara Wan'er gave another example: "Moreover, the 6th Division failed to capture Sujiatun after a day and night of fierce attacks.  Don't you think this is strange?  According to our intelligence, Zhang Xinghan’s garrison brigade has a maximum of 6,000 regular troops. These troops have to guard Shenyang city and Dongta Airport. This means that the number of troops that can be deployed in Sujiatun is really limited.  But even this limited force was able to withstand the fierce attack of one of the most elite field divisions of the Imperial Army head-on day and night. Is this a bit unconventional?  " Itagaki Seishiro nodded when he heard this and said: "Ishihara-kun's analysis is not unreasonable. Do you mean that the Chinese may have been equipped with some new weapons?  But what exactly is this new weapon?  " "We will know this when Colonel Kawamoto comes back.  "Ishihara smiled thoughtfully. "Yeah.  "Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "Kawamoto-kun will bring the weapons. The top priority is that we should study how to capture Shenyang City.  " "The Chinese air force has been destroyed by us, and I see that the rain has weakened a lot. If nothing happens, it may stop tomorrow.  Once the rain stops, the imperial air force can immediately take off to assist in the battle. So as long as it clears up tomorrow, we will first concentrate our forces to capture Sujiatun under the cover of the air force, then encircle Shenyang and launch the final fierce attack.  Ishihara smiled and said with longing: "As long as Shenyang is captured, Manchuria will be in the possession of the Japanese Empire, haha!"  " "In fact, you and I are the heroes of the Manchuria Incident, the heroes of the Japanese Empire, hahaha" Seishiro Itagaki also laughed with pride. ……………………………… When Zhang Xinghan returned to the headquarters in the city  , it was already past four in the morning, and the sky was getting gray and bright. “Brigade, all three regiments of recruits have been ordered to assemble, please give instructions.  "Shen Xingye walked in and reported. "Okay, I understand.  Zhang Xinghan didn't have time to drink a glass of water, so he stood up and said, "Let's go to the playground."  "When Zhang Xinghan led Shen Xingye and others to the recruit gathering place, six thousand recruits had already crowded the huge playground. Looking around, the helmets were swarming and it was dark. The weather at this time was in Shenyang in September.  It was the coldest time. Especially when there was still drizzle in the sky, the cold rain soaked the military uniforms, and the cool breeze in the morning was enough to make people feel the bone-chilling coldness. However, Zhang Xinghan did not see it on their faces.  Seeing a hint of complaint and dissatisfaction, Zhang Xinghan could clearly feel that the eyes of the six thousand recruits were all focused on him. Feeling the gaze of the recruits, Zhang Xinghan stepped onto the podium.  Zang Shiyi had arranged a microphone for him. Zhang Xinghan walked behind the microphone, slowly glanced at the recruits present, and suddenly said: "Brothers, do you know why I gathered you all night?  "    "Know!  "The recruits answered in unison. Of course they knew that the gunshots outside Shenyang City had been ringing all day and night. "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and said in a low and solemn tone: "The reason why you are gathered here is because the battle to defend Shenyang has reached the most critical moment. One of my regiments has fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders in Sujiatun for a day and a night.  There were almost all casualties and the situation was extremely critical!  So, it’s your turn to go to the battlefield!  "The scene fell into silence. Yes, it's time for us to go to the battlefield. The heroic seniors have fought bloody battles with the Japanese for a day and a night. At this moment, Zhang Xinghan's infectious voice sounded again: "Brothers,  I know that most of you are still new recruits who have just joined the army a few days ago.  “Even a few days ago you were still students on campus, so it would be extremely cruel for you to be sent to the battlefield like this.  "However, we have no choice, because although the Northeast is huge, we have no way to retreat, because behind us is Shenyang, hundreds of thousands of Shenyang folks, they are our brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children.  In order to let them live better and prevent them from being massacred by the Japanese, we can only fight to the death.  Brothers, pick up the weapons in your hands and use the fiercest firepower to tell the Japanese and tell the world that there are people resisting in the huge Northeast!  ” “Tour seat, please get off.”Give the order, we are all ready for battle and can go to the front line to fight at any time.  "A veteran of the former garrison brigade immediately continued to express his position excitedly. "Yes, we are ready to sacrifice our lives for the country. We swear to live and die with Shenyang!  "A passionate young man from Yanjing raised his arms and shouted. "I swear to live and die with Shenyang!  " "I swear to live and die with Shenyang!  " "I swear to live and die with Shenyang!  "The recruits shouted in unison one after another, and the huge sound resounded throughout the city and echoed for a long time.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 81: The rain finally stopped

    Chanting exciting slogans, six thousand recruits left the playground in batches, and one regiment went to Sujiatun to replace Liu Guodong's regiment, which had suffered heavy losses.  A regiment rushed to the east gate to set up defenses along the west bank of the South Canal to prevent the Japanese army from sneaking across the South Canal again to launch a sneak attack.  A regiment went to the main position outside the south gate to serve as a reserve team.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan transferred the second regiment that had been transferred from Sujiatun to the west of Shenyang to garrison.  Wang Yicai’s third regiment held the second line of defense on the west bank of the Hun River, Liu Jianguo’s first regiment and two battalions were stationed in Shenyang City, and the other battalion was all transferred to Beiling Airport.  When the garrison brigade finished all this, it was already broad daylight, and both sides were making pots of rice. From the Sujiatun forward position, both sides could even see the smoke rising from behind the other side's position.  The Japanese army, which thought they were sure of victory, did not rush to launch an attack, which gave the officers and soldiers of the First Recruitment Regiment stationed in Sujiatun a valuable buffer opportunity.  And Zang Shiyi did not disappoint Zhang Xinghan. He equipped most of the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade with basic personal items such as raincoats, and organized the people in the city to help the garrison brigade repair the South Canal and the defensive positions in the west of Shenyang City.  Outside the headquarters compound in the city, Zhang Xinghan dragged his tired body out of the jeep. In a daze, he suddenly looked up and realized that something seemed to be missing.  "Tourist, what's wrong?" Shen Xingye, who was standing by, stepped forward and asked with concern.  Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hands and looked up at the increasingly clear sky, and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, the rain stopped, the rain finally stopped, hahaha!" "Shen Yizhi!" Zhang Xinghan suddenly stopped laughing and shouted coldly.  "It's my humble duty!" Shen Yizhi hurriedly stood up and responded.  "Pass my order, and the artillery battalion will immediately gather all the poison gas bombs stored in it. If the Japanese army attacks again, they will immediately use poison gas bombs to stop the attack." Zhang Xinghan ordered coldly.  In the melee last night, although the artillery battalion lost a lot of equipment, especially the artillery company directly under the second regiment, which was completely wiped out, the officers and soldiers transferred by Zhang Xinghan to support the Sujiatun artillery battalion did not suffer much loss, and they escaped in time.  .  For Zhang Xinghan, it doesn’t matter if weapons and equipment are lost. As long as the people are still there, he can immediately replace all the lost equipment for them.  Not to mention that his watches can mass-produce weapons and ammunition, even the artillery stockpiled by the Shenyang Arsenal is enough to equip several artillery battalions.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye accepted the order and was about to leave.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him: "Also, notify Gao Zhihang and prepare for battle immediately. The Japanese army mistakenly believes that our air force has been wiped out. In the next battle, they will use all their strength to bomb and air attack our defensive positions. The air force can take advantage of the situation and attack.  Catch the Japanese army by surprise." "Yes." Shen Xingye agreed and turned around to take the order and leave.  September 30, eight o'clock in the morning.  As the supervisor and commander-in-chief of this operation, Seishiro Itagaki sent a telegram from Liaoyang to the 6th, 2nd, and 20th Divisions at the same time to order the attack on Sujiatun.  At the same time, he called Honjo Shige to dispatch dozens of bombers and fighter planes to Shenyang to assist the ground troops in the attack.  At 8:30, the 6th Division, the enemy in front of Sujiatun, concentrated about one regiment of troops and launched another fierce attack on Sujiatun under the cover of artillery fire.  At the same time, the main force of the 2nd Division also began to forcefully cross the South Canal in the direction of Niujiatun, and the Second Regiment of the West Bank Garrison Brigade's new recruits fought back.  A brigade of the 20th Division was left in the direction of Sujiatun to assist the 6th Division in the attack.  Itagaki Seishiro relied on his own absolute air superiority and mastered the air supremacy. He was determined to capture Sujiatun first and then encircle Shenyang.  He wanted to avenge his humiliation and defeat Zhang Xinghan, who had humiliated him step by step, from the front, completely defeat him, and completely conquer Shenyang, a city that had not dared to surrender.  Therefore, until Sujiatun was not captured and the South Canal defense line was not broken through, the 20th Division had to temporarily serve as a reserve force.  The first is the 6th Division, which suffered a lot last night, but the attack of the 6th Division was quickly repelled.  It was not that the first regiment of new soldiers was more effective than Liu Guodong's regiment, but that the artillery battalion that came to assist fired a large number of poison gas bombs at the attacking Japanese troops.  The entire battlefield was filled with poisonous gas, and the Japanese troops who were caught off guard suffered heavy losses. The first wave of attacks immediately failed.  An extremely angry Sakamoto Masaemon ordered the logistics department to distribute gas masks to front-line combat troops, while urging the air force to come in for support.  At nine o'clock in the morning, an air strike group consisting of about 20 bombers and more than a dozen fighter jets flew over Sujiatun.  Immediately launched a frantic dive, strafing, and bombing attack on the Sujiatun garrison position.  The entire Su family?Soon it fell into a sea of ????fire, and the casualties of the soldiers increased greatly.  However, the Japanese bomber group could not show off its power for long. Suddenly, there was a harsh engine roar in the northern suburbs of Shenyang.  The soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City looked up and saw brand-new fighter planes taking off one after another over the northern suburbs.  There were dozens of them, and then they flew toward Sujiatun in the southeast of the city, covering the sky and the sun, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Shenyang soldiers and civilians.  "Captain, I feel great, this is a real fucking fighter plane!" Liu Cuigang, captain of the first high-altitude detachment, said very excitedly while flying a brand new BF109 fighter plane.  "Yes, it is full of power and its flying speed is far faster than our Gao Longde." Gao Zhihang was also very excited, "Okay, it's time to let the little devils have a taste of our power. The target is Sujiatun, attack freely!"  To" "Received" The wireless communicator sounded the responses of dozens of pilots.  “Whoosh…whoosh…whoosh…” Fighter planes flew over Shenyang one after another.  The maximum speed of BF109 is close to 700 kilometers per hour. For pilots such as Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang, it seemed that it only took the blink of an eye to take off from Beiling Airport to Sujiatun.  They discovered a group of Japanese aircraft that were bombing and strafing their own positions in Sujiatun unscrupulously.  Without any pause, dozens of pilots, led by Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang, flew fighter planes toward the Japanese aircraft.  "Click, click, click" The BF109s with dual aircraft and double cannons opened fire one after another, and the dense rain of bullets quickly knocked several Japanese aircraft that were caught off guard into the air and exploded.  The Japanese pilots were shocked, and they all tried their best to pull up and turn around to prepare to meet the enemy.  But the BF109 is far superior to the Japanese aircraft at this time in terms of speed, firepower and armor defense capabilities.  “ Moreover, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang were caught off guard, so in just one encounter, no less than five Japanese aircraft were shot down directly.  Other Japanese planes were also bitten by Northeastern Army fighters one after another. Due to their speed disadvantage, they could not escape at all. They were quickly hit one by one and fell from the sky with black smoke.  Asking for recommendation votes and Sanjiang votes

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 82: Destructive Air Raid

    "Great, it's our Air Force Haha" "Well done, kill these little sons of bitches, long live the Air Force!" The fierce battle in the air was going on, and almost a massacre on one side was going on. On the ground  The officers and soldiers of the First Recruitment Regiment in Shangsujiatun were so excited that they cheered loudly.  Soon, about thirty Japanese planes were wiped out without any suspense. It was not that they did not want to escape, but that the BF109 fighter jets of the air force did not give them a chance to escape.  With the BF109 fighter jets flying at almost twice their speed, they chased them down without any suspense and shot them down one by one.  After completing their first appearance in the battle, Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang led their fighter planes to dive towards the attack position of the Japanese 6th Division.  “Tap-tat-tat…boom-boom-boom…” The 12.7mm caliber MG17 heading machine gun and the 30mm machine gun roared.  The dense bullets were like tongues of fire, pouring towards the Japanese attack position.  The Japanese on the ground were unable to evade and were immediately injured and killed numerous times.  It was not until all the ammunition they carried was exhausted that Gao Zhihang and other pilots flapped their wings and returned home with satisfaction.  Just after Gao Zhihang and the others returned, another wave of combat aircraft took off from Beiling Airport. This time, eight Stuka dive bombers, two HE111 medium bombers, and ten escort BF109 fighters took off.  This wave of mixed aircraft did not fly towards Sujiatun, but flew directly over the canal in the southeast of the city.  Directly launched an air attack on the attacking troops of the Japanese 2nd Division who were forcibly crossing the river to attack.  The Stuka dive bomber is a famous two-seat anti-tank attack aircraft during World War II. In addition to being equipped with powerful airborne weapons, each aircraft can also carry six bombs with a total weight of 1800kg.  The total weight of bombs carried by the eight JU Stukas has reached an astonishing 7,200 kilograms.  The maximum takeoff weight of the HE111 medium bomber is more than 12,000 kilograms, and it can carry 4,500 kilograms of internal and external aerial bombs. Therefore, with the two HE11 medium bombers, the total weight of bombs they carry is close to 7,800 kilograms, which is 15,600  Jin Not to mention a 15,000-kilogram bomb, even a 15,000-kilogram non-explosive steel dropped would be enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot.  The first to attack were ten BF109 fighter jets. They attacked the Japanese troops who were crossing the river. They fired with both guns and cannons at the same time. The powerful and intensive firepower caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops crossing the river.  The machine-gun shells hit the river, causing a series of splashes.  The small landing craft and rubber boats used by the Japanese to cross the river were punched with countless holes by the firepower of the heading machine guns and machine guns, and they quickly took on water and sank.  The power of the 30MM machine gun is enough to penetrate thinner tank armor, and the effect of hitting a person can be imagined.  Several Japanese soldiers were hit by machine shells and cut off at the waist, turning into a pile of minced meat.  The enemy’s nightmare has just begun. The first round of dive and strafing strikes by fighter jets has just ended.  Eight JU Stukas arrived as scheduled. Not only did they drop bombs, but the two 37mm cannons equipped with the Stukas also opened fire at the same time.  After the machine-gun-like strafing, the bombing of heavy aerial bombs arrived as scheduled, setting off waves of shocking waves on the river, and the landing craft and rubber boats full of Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces.  The Stuka flew by in front, and a 7.62mm heading machine gun located behind the cockpit began to fire again.  After the first round of strafing and bombing, most of the nearly a thousand Japanese who crossed the river to attack had been killed or injured.  At the same time, two HE111 medium bombers headed straight for the Japanese artillery position.  "俅俅俅" Amidst the rapid and harsh screams, bombs weighing more than 300 kilograms began to fall one after another in a free fall under the control of the bombardier.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom" Aerial bombs weighing more than 300 kilograms exploded one after another, and the range and power of the radiation were beyond words.  Looking from a high altitude, the entire ground was engulfed in a sea of ??fire, with thick smoke and fire rising into the sky one after another.  In the historical European battlefield, the HE111 medium bomber was originally used by the German army as a heavy bomber.  Such a powerful aerial bomb may not be a big deal in the European battlefield where artillery and aerial bombing are intensive.  But in today's Asia in the 1930s, in Northeast China, it is absolutely a destructive force.  Except for the Japanese battleships and heavy cruisers, the power of large-caliber naval gun shells can be compared with it.  When a three-hundred-kilogram aerial bomb falls, it creates a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the shrapnel shock wave covers a range of several dozen meters.?? meters.  Therefore, two HE111 bombers, just two, bombed the artillery position of the artillery wing directly under the 2nd Division into ruins through a violent bombing.  Dozens of artillery were all blown into piles of scrap metal. The violent explosion caused the detonation of the Japanese shells, which caused superimposed damage to the Japanese.  After the two HE111s easily completed the bombing mission, they flapped their wings and began to return.  The performance of eight JU Stukas and ten BF109 fighters is not over yet.  They swooped and strafed the Japanese attacking troops already crossing the river and on the river bank. After inflicting heavy damage on them, they did not turn around, but continued flying along the Japanese positions.  During the low-altitude flight, all machine guns and aircraft-borne machine guns opened fire, and Stukas also continued to drop bombs.  The Japanese troops of the 2nd Division only felt that their heads were covered by a rain of steel bullets, and they fell down in pieces.  Some unfortunate people were directly blown to pieces by the explosion.  Similarly, the mixed air raid group of the Shenyang Air Force did not start its return flight until all the ammunition it carried was dumped on the Japanese positions.  What almost made the Japanese commanders collapse was that their nightmare continued.  When the second wave of bombers returned, a larger mixed group took off from Beiling Airport.  This time, Gao Zhihang personally led the team and used the remaining twelve JU Stuka dive bombers and twenty-eight HE111 medium bombers. In addition, thirty fighter jets were used for escort and cover.  Forty bombers carry a total bomb load of more than 150,000 kilograms, which is 300,000 kilograms.  This time, Gao Zhihang chose the 6th Division and the 20th Division in the direction of Sujiatun as the targets of the air attack. Of course, this was Zhang Xinghan's intention.  More than 300,000 kilograms of bombs fell on the positions of the 6th Division and the 20th Division in less than an hour.  The Japanese collapsed, their positions were almost completely plowed by the explosion, and many fortifications were destroyed.  Each regiment suffered heavy casualties, especially the 6th Division, which suffered the heaviest losses after a day and night of fierce bloody battles.  Even the division headquarters of the 6th Division was blown to ashes by the pilots commanded by Gao Zhihang. Division Commander Masaemon Sakamoto and Chief of Staff Kotaro Uedanaka and other senior officers of the division were all killed in one fell swoop.  The most useless one is the 20th Division, which came thousands of miles from North Korea for reinforcements. Up to now, it has been crippled by a sudden and devastating air strike without firing a single shot.  At this moment, a cavalry force of thousands of people appeared in the southern suburbs of Shenyang.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 83: Reinforcements Arrive

    "Hey!" Sabli led the cavalry regiment to the southern suburbs of Shenyang with a dusty look on their faces.  I happened to see that extremely shocking scene. In the direction of the Japanese army's position in Sujiatun, huge balls of flames rose into the sky along with thick smoke.  The fire was about to break through the sky.  "Commander, what should we do?" a cavalryman asked.  "Let's wait until the bombing is over. Damn it, is this the air force of our Northeastern Army? So powerful?" Sabli said with a shocked face as he looked at the group of aircraft in the sky that were still circling, diving and strafing bombing.  On the south gate wall, Zhang Xinghan and a group of guards were also enjoying the performance of the aviation team, although they were mentally prepared.  But after seeing the devastating blow displayed by the aviation team, Zhang Xinghan still took a breath of air.  The power of German fighter planes is indeed extraordinary.  "Brigade, a large group of cavalry was found in the southern suburbs. It seems that our reinforcements have arrived." At this time, a soldier hurried up to the city to report.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan quickly raised his telescope and looked due south.  I saw a large group of dark cavalry appearing on the plain in the southern suburbs.  "Great, Commander Sa's cavalry regiment has arrived." Zhang Xinghan was very excited, and immediately turned to Shen Yizhi: "Pass my order, the air force will continue to carry out air strikes against the enemy in front of Sujiatun, and the first and third regiments will be formed. Wang Yicai  The third regiment, the first and second battalions of Liu Jianguo's first regiment, Liu Guodong's third regiment, and the cavalry armor company directly under the brigade headquarters, and the guard company immediately gathered in the direction of Sujiatun to prepare for a counterattack against the Japanese army. In addition, people were immediately sent to contact Sa.  Commander, tell him, please lead the cavalry regiment to cooperate with our armored cavalry company in the assault. In this battle, we must defeat the Kwantung Army in one fell swoop!" "Yes!" Shen Xingye stood up and responded quickly, taking the order and running down the city.  Soon, one regiment, two battalions in the city, all the guard battalions, the armored cavalry company and the remnants of Liu Guodong's regiment in the west of the city began to gather towards the south of the city.  On the position of the newly formed regiment in Sujiatun, after receiving the order, the officers and soldiers began to fix their bayonets, prepare grenades, and load their rifles with bullets.  "Commander SaCommander Sa" Sabli was waiting for the opportunity when a cavalry galloped from the direction of Shenyang City and waved.  Sabli took a few steps forward on his horse. The cavalryman had already rushed to the horse and saluted: "You are the commander of the reinforcement cavalry regiment, Chief Sabli." "Exactly." Sabli reined in the reins and replied.  "I am here to inform Commander Sa on the orders of Shenyang City Defense Commander and Commander of Shenyang Defense Brigade. Our brigade will launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army after the air raid is over. Our brigade would like to ask the Commander to lead the cavalry to the west bank of the Hun River to gather and cooperate with me.  The armored troops launched a surprise attack." The cavalry stated their intention.  "Okay, please report back to Commander Zhang. Sabuli will cooperate resolutely and will go immediately." Sabuli nodded and agreed without any hesitation.  After the cavalry saluted, they turned their horses and rode away.  Sabli raised his riding whip and shouted: "Send my order, the whole regiment will follow me." ……………………  Got to the airport.  And when they had just returned, the first squad leader Liu Cuigang led the remaining seventy or eighty BF109 fighter planes to take off one after another. The troops divided into two groups and flew straight towards Sujiatun and Niujiatun on the east bank of the South Canal to cross the river.  At the same time, inside the Japanese military police headquarters in Liaoyang County.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji looked at the two new weapons on the table with great curiosity.  A Garand semi-automatic rifle and an MG34 general-purpose machine gun.  Itagaki Seishiro picked up the Garand semi-automatic rifle, looked at it, turned around and asked: "Kawamoto-kun, is this the new weapon you are talking about? What's so special about it?" "Yes, this rifle has an ammunition capacity of eight rounds.  The Imperial Army's Type 38 rifle has three more rounds. The biggest advantage is that it can shoot continuously, and its firepower is comparable to that of a submachine gun." Kawamoto Shiro said, taking the Garand rifle from Itagaki Seishiro, opening the safety, and pulling the bolt.  .  He turned around and pointed at the sky outside and started to pull the trigger.  “Pap bang…” Kawamoto Shiro continued to pull the trigger until all eight bullets in the gun chamber were fired, and then he stopped.  Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro looked at each other in astonishment, and walked over. Itagaki Seishiro was shocked and said: "Which country's new weapon is this? It can shoot continuously? This way, the rate of fire is faster than the manual type of the imperial army.  The rifle is much faster. "There is English on the gun. I think it was produced in Britain and the United States." Shiro Kawamoto said.  "Britain and the United States? Their weapons are so advanced?" Itagaki Seishiro said in surprise.  &nbsp"What about this machine gun? What's the difference?" Ishihara Wanji turned around and pointed at the MG34 general-purpose machine gun on the table and said, "Is it also British and American equipment?" "No, this machine gun is German equipment. I'm in Berlin.  I had the honor to see it when I was studying abroad, but the one in front of me seems to be more advanced than the one I saw in Berlin. Its rate of fire is amazing, with a rate of fire reaching 100 rounds per minute. It can be used as a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun.  Machine gun use," Colonel Kawamoto replied.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji immediately took a breath of air when they heard this. They were both professional soldiers. A machine gun can be used as both a light machine gun and a heavy machine gun. The rate of fire can reach 100 rounds per minute.  Do they know exactly what this means?  How terrifying is this.  Because the rate of fire of the heavy machine gun they were proud of was less than half that of the general machine gun in front of them.  "No wonder the 6th Division was unable to attack for a long time and suffered such heavy casualties. Such machine gun firepower is simply disastrous for the attackers." Ishihara Wanji said thoughtfully.  "Itagaki-kun, Kawamoto-kun, have you ever thought about how it is possible for the Northeastern Army in Shenyang to possess weapons and equipment from Germany and the United Kingdom and the United States at the same time? According to the information we have, Zhang Xuehao does not seem to have imported such weapons and equipment." Ishihara Wan  Erdao.  "Ishihara-kun, I believe that these are matters of the intelligence department. We should report this situation to the base camp and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the United States and Germany. If this rifle is from the United States, we must find a way to introduce it, not to mention the machine gun.  It must be introduced to improve the imperial army's light and heavy machine guns," Kawamoto Shiro said.  "Kawamoto-kun is right. Investigating intelligence is a matter for the special high school class." Itagaki Seishiro said, taking the Garand rifle from Kawamoto's hand, looking at it fondly and murmuring to himself: "Such a good weapon.  I hope it's not British, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get it. "At this moment, a communications lieutenant ran in with a panic and reported to the three people without even saluting: "Sir, no, it's not good."  "Baga? Why are you panicking? What's going on?" Itagaki Seishiro was very dissatisfied with the communications lieutenant's performance and scolded him coldly.  "Sir, the Chinese still have an air force, and their combat power is more powerful than before. The air force we sent was completely wiped out, and the attacks of the 6th Division and the 2nd Division were all frustrated. Currently, the Chinese Air Force is carrying out unscrupulous air attacks on our divisions.  The situation in the regimental position is very critical!" the communications lieutenant lowered his head and reported.  "Nani?" Itagaki Seishiro's face was stiff, with disbelief in his eyes. He suddenly grabbed the communications lieutenant's collar and roared: "What are you talking about? Haven't the Chinese airports been completely destroyed by the imperial army? They  The air force that emerged from there?" After saying that, Itagaki Seishiro turned his attention to Kawamoto Shiro. Kawamoto Shiro trembled and quickly explained: "Itagaki-kun, I can swear on my honor as a soldier that I and my assault  The team successfully destroyed the entire Dongta Airport, including hundreds of fighter planes inside. This can be proved by the forward troops of the 2nd Division.”

    "I remembered that Zhang Xueliang built another airport in Shenyang not long ago, called Beiling Airport. Yes, it must be there. Zhang Xinghan must have hidden a group of Air Force fighter planes there." Ishihara Wan'er was suddenly shocked.  cried out.  After listening to Ishihara Kanji’s analysis, a somewhat frustrated Itagaki Seishiro let go of the communications lieutenant and sat on the chair with a dejected look on his face.  The gendarmerie headquarters fell into a deathly silence.  "Itagaki-kun, now is not the time to be depressed. We should cheer up and save the crisis that may occur next." Ishihara Wanji said upon seeing this.  "Rescue?" Itagaki Seishiro suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "Yes, the winner has not been decided yet. We still have three divisions of troops, and we have not completely lost our air supremacy. Ishihara-kun, you immediately call Commander Honjo Shige  The official sent a message, asking him to send the air force here as soon as possible. I want to fight Zhang Xinghan to the death. " "Itagaki-kun, the telegram just said that the 6th Division was subjected to fierce air attacks and bombings by the Chinese, and suffered heavy losses. In addition to the previous  The battle losses of the 6th Division must be very bad, so as a precaution, we should quickly notify the frontline divisions to strengthen their defenses, and then mobilize the air force for a decisive battle with the Chinese." Ishihara Wanji thought.  I want to persuade.  "Sir Itagaki, Ishihara-kun is right. Commander Zhang Xinghan of Shenyang is so cunning that he actually hid a batch of fighter planes. We must not be careless again, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Colonel Kawamoto echoed.  "Kawamoto-kun, are you sure you can raid Beiling Airport again?" Itagaki Seishiro suddenly asked.  "This, I think the possibility of success is extremely small. As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. The Chinese have already suffered a loss once and will never give us a chance to attack again." Colonel Kawamoto said truthfully.  "Without further delay, let's stabilize the situation first and then make plans." Ishihara Wanji immediately said to the communications lieutenant: "Immediately send power to the 6th, 2nd, and 20th Divisions, and order them to stick to their current positions, especially to do a good job  Air defense preparations." The communications lieutenant quickly recorded the order, and before he could turn around and leave, another communications soldier hurried in.  "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, unfortunately, the headquarters of the 6th Division was unfortunately bombed by the China Air Force. Division Commander Masaemon Sakamoto, Chief of Staff Koutaro Uedanaka and other senior officers of the 6th Division were all shattered.  "I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." "What?" Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and Kawamoto Shiro were all shocked on the spot. They thought that the situation of the 6th Division might not be optimistic, but they did not expect it to be so serious.  Nagasaka Motoemon died in pieces.  But the communications soldier continued: "Due to the continuous air raids and bombings by the Chinese Army, more than half of the 6th Division has suffered casualties, and the 2nd Division has also suffered heavy casualties. The position was almost razed to the ground, and even the 20th Division was attacked.  "A huge loss." "Even the leader of the political division was killed?" Ishihara Wanji also looked dazed and looked miserable.  "Both of you, reason tells me that we should withdraw our troops to Liaoyang first and then make plans." Kawamoto Shiro said.  "Retreat? We haven't even seen the city walls of Shenyang, how can we just retreat?" Itagaki Seishiro roared unwillingly.  "However, now the main 6th Division has lost more than half. The division commander and other senior officers have all been killed in the battle. If they are left in Shenyang, if the Chinese take advantage of the situation to counterattack, the consequences will be disastrous." Shiro Kawamoto said anxiously.  "Itagaki-kun, Kawamoto-kun is right. The most correct way at the moment is to shrink the troops and wait for rest and replenishment before attacking again. Although the warriors of the Imperial Army are brave and good at fighting, they are still flesh and blood. As commanders, we cannot let them  A worthless death," Ishihara Wanji said to Itagaki Seishiro after coming back to his senses.  Itagaki Seishiro was very unwilling, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily in anger. After a long time, he calmed down his anger and said: "Give power to the divisions on the front line and alternately cover the retreat to Liaoyang." "Hai!" The two Japanese communication soldiers lowered their heads at the same time.  He responded, turned and left.  ????………… Although Itagaki Seishiro finally made up his mind to temporarily withdraw his troops, it was too late.  When he just made up his mind, Shenyang City South.  The first and third regiments of the new soldiers plus the three regiments of the original garrison brigade, a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the garrison brigade, have been assembled. At the same time, Sabli led more than a thousand cavalry from the cavalry regiment to the gathering place.  Zhang Xinghan, wearing a military uniform and riding a horse, arrived at the assembly point of the Sabli Cavalry Regiment, surrounded by more than 80 cavalry company soldiers who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives.  "Shenyang Garrison Brigade Colonel Zhang Xinghan is here, where is Commander Sablisa?" Zhang Xinghan reined in the reins and asked loudly.  In the cavalry formation of the cavalry regiment, two cavalrymen rushed out in response, the first oneHe was about forty years old, and he was a sturdy man with a beard. His thick black beard and his strong body made Zhang Xinghan have a good impression of him.  "He is definitely a strong general who is good at fighting," Zhang Xinghan thought in his mind.  Sabli immediately saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Sabuli, the commander of the Heilongjiang *** Cavalry Regiment, was ordered to lead the entire regiment to support Shenyang. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Please give me the order, sir." "Thank you, Commander Sa, who is not far away."  Zhang Xinghan came thousands of miles away to help. On behalf of all the folks, soldiers and civilians in Shenyang, thank you!" Zhang Xinghan did not salute but said with a serious look on his face.  Sabuli said quickly: "Sir, you're welcome. Resisting Japan, saving the country, and rescuing the country from disaster are our duty as soldiers, so why should we thank you?" "That's right, the war is urgent now. After this battle is over, I will be working for Commander Sabuli and Regiment Sabuli.  Brothers, take the wind and wash away the dust." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said solemnly.  "The entire cavalry regiment of our regiment is following your lead, sir. Sir, just give the order." Sabli said with a solemn face.  "The cavalry regiment will attack with me, please wait." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and said to a messenger: "Give me the order, the artillery will immediately shell the Japanese position." The messenger took the order and left soon.  Zhang Xinghan's order was passed on.  Dozens of large-caliber 105mm howitzers from the artillery battalion opened fire one after another, and shells flew towards the Sixth Division's position with flames and screams.  Seventy-eight BF109 fighters led by Liu Cuigang also launched fierce air attacks on the Japanese 6th and 20th Divisions and the 2nd Division in two groups.  Fighter planes dived and fired, and dense bullets enveloped the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches. From time to time, someone was shot and died.  After the artillery battalion completed ten rapid fire rounds, the artillery fire began to extend.  Zhang Xinghan drew out his sharp sword with a swish, and Sabli and more than a thousand cavalry also drew their swords with a swish. For a time, the swords were like a forest, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.  "Attack!" Zhang Xinghan waved the saber forward and roared in a long voice.  More than 20 tanks and armored vehicles that had been waiting for a long time rumbled into action, and the cavalry also mobilized their horses and rumbled forward.  "Kill, charge!" Thousands of infantrymen also shouted out, carrying rifles with bayonets and submachine guns loaded with bullets. General-purpose machine guns jumped out of the trenches, following the cavalry and armored soldiers like a tide.  Rushing towards Sujiatun.  The armored and cavalry troops were very fast, and soon they rushed through the mixture, crossed the defensive position of the 1st New Regiment, and attacked the defensive position of the Japanese 6th Division.  "Brothers, charge!" The officers of the First Recruitment Regiment took the lead in rushing out of the trenches and joined the attacking army.  If you look at it from a high altitude at this time, the scene you see is extremely spectacular. On the ground, the garrison brigade charges with tanks and armored vehicles, and thousands of cavalry follow up on its two wings, crushing towards the Japanese positions.  In the low altitude, BF109 fighter planes were constantly diving, circling, and strafing bombs.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 85: Unprecedented Victory (Part 1)

    "Bang bang bangta da da" On the forward position of the Japanese 6th Division east of Sujiatun, tanks and armored vehicles opened fire one after another.  More than a thousand cavalrymen who followed the armored troops screamed and shouted loudly. Zhang Xinghan held a saber in one hand and a submachine gun hung around his neck in the other and fired violently.  After a series of aerial strafing bombings and artillery strikes by the garrison brigade.  The 6th Division had already suffered more than half of its casualties. Not only the division headquarters suffered a devastating blow, it was also defeated.  The command hubs of each brigade, brigade and even squadron have been hit to varying degrees.  The communication between the troops at all levels was chaotic, and the instructions could not be conveyed in time. In addition, dozens of BF109 fighter planes were constantly circling, diving and strafing in the air.  Therefore, the Japanese army was unable to organize effective resistance at all. Few Japanese soldiers rose up to resist, but they were quickly swept into a sieve by the vehicle-mounted machine guns of the tanks and armored troops, and then crushed into pieces.  No surprise, the assault force quickly broke through the forward position of the Japanese 6th Division. Under the low-altitude strafing strikes from the aircraft, the Japanese army had to retreat hastily.  Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli led the cavalry to immediately bypass the Japanese trench position and attack the two wings of the Japanese position in a roundabout way. Some Japanese who could not escape were quickly chopped to the ground and trampled to pieces by the swarming horseshoes.  Some remaining Japanese troops were also overwhelmed by the swarming crowd of infantrymen from the garrison brigade.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to attack in less than half an hour, and the remnants of the 6th Division were completely defeated.  At the same time, the newly formed Second Regiment, which was confronting the Japanese 2nd Division across the river, also took advantage of the situation to attack.  The 2nd Division was also violently bombed and strafed by the garrison brigade air force fighter planes. All machine gun fire points and artillery positions were completely destroyed.  With nearly thirty BF109 fighter jets continuously strafing their heads, the 2nd Division was unable to concentrate its efforts on blocking the newly formed 2nd Regiment from crossing the river.  Therefore, when Zhang Xinghan led the main force to successfully break through the 6th Division's defense line, and took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit.  The newly formed 2nd Regiment also crossed the South Canal under the cover of the air force and began to attack the forward positions of the 2nd Division.  Gunshots were heard in the rain, in an unknown small village about five kilometers away from Niujiatun.  A large number of heavily armed Japanese troops have already put this place on alert. In the largest courtyard in the village, several poplar trunks more than ten meters long and as thick as arms are erected high. ? What is tied to the top of the tree trunk is the antenna necessary for the radio station.  In a wing room in the courtyard, Japanese military communications staff and officers came and went from time to time.  In the side room, several high-power radio stations kept beeping.  In the main hall, the current commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Domon, stood silently for a long time in front of the giant combat map hanging on the wall with one hand on his back.  Behind him, the current chief of staff, Colonel Amagishitaro, remained silent and stood waiting.  "General, the 4th Regiment has suffered heavy losses under the continuous air attacks of the Chinese. It has been defeated by the Chinese army in front of them, and its forward position has been lost." A Japanese major rushed in, suddenly stopped his feet and saluted.  Domen Erlang turned around when he heard this, looked at the communications major with a cold face, and said: "The Chinese troops confronting us are only one regiment, one or two thousand people. When did the imperial army's combat power become so unbearable?"  "General, the Chinese air force has caused heavy casualties to the imperial army. Even now, it has continued to conduct air strikes and firepower on our division. The 4th Wing lacks air defense capabilities and has already suffered heavy losses. It is helpless to be defeated.  Facts." Chief of Staff Taro Amangishi quickly explained.  "Shut up. At 9/18, our 2nd Division has already suffered a defeat. This time we are here to avenge our shame. Send me an order to shoot the captain of the 4th Regiment immediately on the spot as a warning to others."  Erlang shouted coldly.  Taro Amangishi lowered his head and said nothing more, but the Japanese Major suddenly raised his head and said: "General, Captain Masano of the 4th Regiment has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." "Is he dead?" Jiro Tamon said slightly.  Somewhat surprised.  "Yes, the captain of the Zhengye Alliance personally went to the front line to command the troops to resist. He was swooped and strafed by China fighter planes. Unfortunately, he was shot and died in the battle." Japanese Major replied.  Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed across Domonjiro's eyes, and he slowly closed his eyes and said: "Colonel Masano is an excellent Imperial man." Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and another communications soldier held a telegram.  Walked in quickly.  "Your Excellency, the division commander, Chief of Staff Itagaki is calling." The communications soldier snapped his feet and saluted.  "Read it!" Domenjiro waved his hand without thinking.  “In view of the powerful firepower of the Chinese aviation force, in order to avoid greater losses, such as the situationIn a critical situation, General Duomen can stop the attack and retreat to Liaoyang and Benxi to conserve his strength for another attack.  " Just as the communications soldier finished reading, another communications soldier ran in with a panic look. He didn't even have time to stand at attention and salute: "Your Excellency, the division commander, we just got the news that the 6th Division has been defeated by the Shenyang China Army, and suffered heavy losses and was defeated across the board.  The 20th Division is currently engaged in a fierce battle with it.  "    "What?  The 6th Division was completely defeated?  How can this be?  "Both Jiro Tamon and Taro Amangishi were shocked. The 6th Division is an elite division that is no less powerful than the 2nd Division. If you include the 2nd Division's large number of left-behind reservists, all of them are active duty officers and soldiers.  The formed 6th Division is more powerful than the current 2nd Division. Even if such a unit fails, how can it be defeated across the board? You must know that defeat and defeat are completely different concepts.  , As long as the main force is still there and the strength is still there, there is still a chance to make a comeback and turn defeat into victory. But a defeat will be a crippling injury. "How is this possible?  How did Division Commander Sakamoto Masaemon command the troops?  "Jiro Domon questioned loudly. "General, the news is that the division commander Sakamoto Masaemon and the chief of staff Kotaro Uedanaka and other officers and soldiers of the division were unfortunately bombed by the Chinese Air Force, and no one was spared.  .  Since the command hub of the 6th Division was destroyed, the Chinese used armored troops, cavalry and the air force to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The 6th Division could not resist and turned into a complete rout.  "The communication soldier replied. Domon Jiro and Amagishitaro suddenly took a breath of air when they heard this. Domon Jiro stared in disbelief and said: "You said that General Sakamoto Masaemon was killed in battle?  "    "Yes.  "The communications soldier lowered his head and answered. Domon Jiro was immediately horrified. The air force of the Shenyang China Army was so powerful. Thinking of this, Domon Jiro began to want to retreat. Chief of Staff Taro Amagishi said: "General, now the 6th  The division has been defeated and we are helpless. I suggest we withdraw to Benxi first and then make plans.  " "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff Tian'an, is right, General, we are too close to the front line. Once discovered by the China Air Force, the consequences will be disastrous, so Your Excellency, the Division Commander, it is best to leave here as soon as possible."  "The communications major also took the opportunity to persuade. His words struck a deep chord in Domon Jiro's heart. This is what Domon Jiro was worried about at this time. He was about to reach retirement age, and he was afraid that he would follow Sakamoto Masaemon's footsteps.  Following in his footsteps, being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor is a supreme honor? Are you kidding me? It was just used by the empire’s senior officials and the Emperor to brainwash the rank-and-file officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army. Jiro Domon was born in 1878.  , now fifty-three years old, at his position and age, he would not be stupid enough to fight for their emperor as a last resort. He would not want to leave his family and the wealthy and prosperous life for many years against his subordinates.  As a division leader, he naturally has to show a stern and firm side. But when his own life may be threatened, it is a different matter. PS: I just can’t bear it, so I’ve coded two chapters. Please give me a try.  I saved a chapter so that I can code steadily without being in a hurry. I will post this chapter today.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 86: Victory in Air Combat (Part 2)

    Taro Amangishi and several communication soldiers all set their sights on Jiro Domon, waiting for him to make a decision.  Facing the eager eyes of his subordinates, Domon Jiro pretended to be sad and said in a deep voice: "Order, the 29th Infantry Regiment and the 4th Infantry Regiment are responsible for the rear cover, the entire 15th Brigade and the division are directly under the 2nd Cavalry.  The regiment, the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment, and the 2nd Engineer Squadron immediately retreated toward Benxi. "Hai!" Taro Amangishi and others responded at the same time, and several communications soldiers quickly took the order and left.  "General, please withdraw first." Taro Amangishi advised him at the right time.  Domenjiro didn’t speak, and nodded silently.  ……………………………………………… On the battlefield five kilometers east of Sujiatun, Zhang Xinghan led the assault force to defeat the 6th Division, and then started a fierce battle with the 20th Division  .  Zhang Xinghan handed over the task of chasing the collapsed 6th Division to Sabli's cavalry regiment, and personally commanded the armored troops. The main infantry force, with the cooperation of the air force, launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the 20th Division's positions.  "Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, thousands of garrison brigade officers and soldiers opened fire repeatedly with Garand semi-automatic rifles and MP18 submachine guns.  The dense bullets hit the Japanese fortification bunker, causing dirt to fly.  Air Force fighter planes are also strafing as accurately as possible to provide fire support to our own offensive forces.  "Compared to the 6th Division and the 2nd Division, the 20th Division suffered the lightest level of aerial bombing.  Therefore, part of its fortifications were preserved, which now became a stumbling block to the attack of the garrison brigade.  Some Japanese soldiers relied on the incomplete fortifications to resist tenaciously, firing desperately with Type 3 heavy machine guns (the predecessor of Type 92 heavy machine guns, the latter changed the bullet caliber).  "Thud, tug, tug" The distinctive dull sound of the Taisho Type 3 heavy machine gun resounded.  The hot bullets hit the garrison brigade officers and soldiers who charged desperately one after another.  I have to say that at this time, the quality of the Japanese army's individual soldiers was still extremely high.  Although the rate of fire and power of the Taisho 3-year-old heavy machine gun are average, using 6.5mm caliber machine gun ammunition is not even as powerful as the Garand rifle used by the infantry of the garrison brigade.  But the precise shooting of Japanese machine gunners made up for this shortcoming.  Many recruits who were eager to charge and attack fell under their guns until the veterans set up MG34 general-purpose machine guns and launched fire suppression.  The Japanese heavy machine gun firepower was gradually suppressed, and was successively destroyed with grenades by the garrison brigade infantry who rushed forward.  Although the Japanese machine gun shooters have undergone long and arduous training and have rich shooting experience, they cannot rely on the Taisho Type 3 machine gun with a combat rate of fire of less than 300 rounds to compete with the MG34 general-purpose machine gun with a rate of fire of 100 rounds.  What’s more, the number of MG34 general-purpose machine guns in the garrison brigade is much higher than the Japanese Taisho 3-year-old heavy machine guns.  In addition, dozens of fighter jets of the garrison brigade’s aviation team are still searching for Japanese firepower points on the ground like eagles, and carrying out destructive fire strikes on them.  Under such extremely unfavorable circumstances, the 20th Division's stubborn resistance could not last long.  When Li Zhenyuan commanded more than 20 Renault tanks and armored vehicles to roll over, and used tank guns to call out the remaining Japanese firepower points one by one.  The 20th Division's defense line finally fell, and thousands of garrison brigade officers and soldiers swarmed in like a flood that burst a dike.  Hand-held automatic weapons with powerful firepower opened fire one after another, widening the gap bit by bit.  At this point in the battle, there was no suspense. Not long after, the Japanese 20th Division also evolved from a defeat to a rout.  The garrison brigade took advantage of the situation and launched a full-frontal pursuit. The pursuit lasted until the evening before it came to an end.  Among them, the cavalry regiment led by Sabli almost caught up with Liaoyang City with the cover and cooperation of the air force, and severely damaged the 6th Division and the 20th Division before withdrawing.  On the way back to Sujiatun along the Nanman-Manchuria Railway, Zhang Xinghan was riding his horse slowly, surrounded by a group of cavalry.  At this time, the sun was about to set, and the soft sunset light seemed to put a touch of red makeup on the entire land.  Riding his horse, Zhang Xinghan looked around at the battlefields where fierce battles had taken place on both sides of the railway.  There were corpses of soldiers from both sides everywhere as far as the eye could see. Of course, more than 90% of the corpses were Japanese soldiers.  Various weapons and equipment are scattered everywhere.  From time to time, you can see the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade dragging their tired bodies to clean the battlefield again.  Although fundamentally speaking, Zhang Xinghan really despised the large number of Japanese weapons left on the battlefield, he could not ignore them.  That will only make it cheaper for the Japanese andbandit.  “ Moreover, seizing a large amount of trophies can also serve as a cover for secretly producing a large number of weapons and equipment.  "Give the order, give priority to collecting the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers as much as possible. As for the weapons and ammunition that can be taken away, take away the weapons and ammunition that cannot be taken away and destroy them on the spot. In short, not a single bullet can be left to the Japanese devils." Zhang Xinghan saw every  A soldier cleaning the battlefield, carrying an astonishing number of weapons and ammunition of all kinds, immediately gave the order.  A cavalryman took the order and rode away.  At this time, a deafening sound of horse hooves came from behind Zhang Xinghan and others.  Zhang Xinghan reined up his horse and turned around, only to see a large group of Northeastern Army cavalry running towards him.  Only when he got closer did Zhang Xinghan see clearly that the people coming were none other than Sabli and his cavalry regiment soldiers. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of sight, and saw that Sabli and the soldiers of the cavalry regiment were all soaked in blood, and their clothes were soaked with blood, like devil warriors returning from the Asura Hell.  Sabli put away his blood-drenched saber and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander Zhang, you have lived up to your humiliation. In this battle, our cavalry regiment annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese troops, including two colonels, and officers below the lieutenant colonel were not counted. I  The casualties of our troops are less than a hundred. " "Well, you are worthy of being our Northeast Cavalry, and Commander Sa is worthy of being a descendant of Genghis Khan. This battle has greatly enhanced the prestige of our Chinese cavalry. Please follow me back to Shen. After entering the city, I will prepare a celebration for you.  Let’s have a banquet and ask the Marshal and the Nanjing government for credit tomorrow!” After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he took the lead in turning the horse’s head.  With his legs clamped around the horse's belly, the horse immediately spread its hooves and ran forward.  Sabli and a group of cavalry warriors mobilized their horses to follow closely, and more than a thousand cavalry roared towards Shenyang with a roar.  After Zhang Xinghan returned to the city, he ordered Zang Shiyi to go to the major restaurants in the city to arrange food and drinks, intending to reward all the soldiers in the city.  It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the troops outside the city finished cleaning the battlefield and returned one after another. After entering the city, the officers and soldiers who had fought the Japanese invaders for a day were warmly welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people.  The entire city of Shenyang quickly fell into a carnival of victory, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless carnival night.  To the surprise of Zhang Xinghan, Zang Shiyi and others, hundreds of restaurants, large and small, in the city did not charge any fees and were all open to the soldiers defending the city for free.  What’s more, some enthusiastic citizens directly invited some officers and soldiers to their homes to entertain them with good wine and meat.  In the largest restaurant in the city, the lobby on the first floor was overcrowded, packed with officers and soldiers from the garrison brigade.  They drank as much as they wanted and enjoyed the happiness of fighting bloody battles for the rest of their lives.  Some people shed tears while drinking, and cursed: "Damn it, my blood is not in vain, my life is not in vain, just because the elders in the city treat us like this, I am worth dying in battle!"  The first to win the victory in Shenyang was the First Department of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China stationed in Xinmin. They were always paying attention to the situation in Shenyang.  But when they figured out the truth, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. The New Civil Guards were so excited that they quickly reported the news of this unprecedented victory to Wang Yizhe who was far away in Jinzhou.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 87: This is impossible

    Jinzhou, headquarters of the **7th Brigade.  Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan just put down the phone, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and told the brigade commander Wang Yizhe at the side about the unprecedented victory of the garrison brigade in defeating three Japanese divisions.  After Wang Yizhe heard this, he was stunned on the spot for a long time and asked uncertainly for a long time: "Brother Guoping, is this true?" "It's absolutely true. According to the report from our army's forward observation post, the garrison brigade came from the direction of Jilin with  The cavalry regiment, under the cover of the air force, launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army. The Japanese army was completely defeated, and corpses were everywhere from Sujiatun to Liaoyang," Zhao Zhenfan replied excitedly.  "Okay, you did a damn good job! I, Wang Yizhe, can have such a good son-in-law, what more could I ask for!" Wang Yizhe praised fiercely.  "Sergeant, would you like to report your victory to the young marshal?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "Well, send the electricity to the young marshal and report it truthfully." Wang Yizhe said.  "Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan responded, turned and left.  ???……………………Beiping, Zhongnanhai.  After Marshal Zhang led his troops into the customs last year, he selected several residences in the western suburbs of Peking and Zhongnanhai in the Forbidden City.  Zhongnanhai is one of them. Zhongnanhai covers an area of ??more than 150 hectares, including 50 hectares of water area.  There are many pavilions and green water. In his spare time, the young marshal often goes boating and swimming with Miss Zhao Si, which is so comfortable and romantic.  At this time, the young marshal was walking along Taiye Pond with Miss Zhao Si. There were heavily armed guards everywhere along the way.  Looking at the blossoming buildings and palaces, accompanied by beauties, in front of the flowers and under the moonlight, the young marshal seemed to have forgotten the Northeast, which was already at war.  Miss Zhao Si was walking with the young marshal on her arm, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind them.  Hearing the sound, Marshal Zhang looked back and saw the adjutant Chen Dazhang rushing towards him.  Marshal Zhang said to Miss Zhao Si: "Qixia, you go to the front and wait for me." "Yes." Zhao Yidi nodded very understandingly, let go of Marshal Zhang and walked forward alone.  Marshal Zhang looked at Zhao Yidi's graceful back gradually walking away, and then turned around.  Chen Dazhang walked forward quickly and immediately saluted and stood at attention: "Young Marshal, the communications room has just received an urgent report from Brigadier Wang Yizhe." "Huh? What's the matter?" asked Marshal Zhang.  "The three divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army that attacked Shenyang were all defeated by the garrison brigade led by Zhang Xinghan, and Shenyang was saved." Chen Dazhang replied.  "What? The garrison brigade defeated the Japanese army of three divisions?" Zhang Xueliang was shocked, his face full of disbelief.  "Yes, they were defeated head-on. The three divisions of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and were almost disabled. Now they have retreated to the Liaoyang area." Chen Dazhang nodded.  Marshal Zhang was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he roared in disbelief: "How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible." The voice was so loud that Miss Zhao Si, who had already walked away, heard it and couldn't help but stop and turn around.  Realizing that he had lost his composure, Marshal Zhang suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered Chen Dazhang: "Go back first and notify Chief of Staff Rong to verify the authenticity of this information immediately." "Yes!" Chen Dazhang saluted and turned to leave.  ???………………??It is late at night in Shenyang City.  Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli both drank a lot of wine. They walked on their backs, staggering a little. Shen Xingye followed behind, waiting for Zhang Xinghan to help him when he became unsteady.  At the wine table just now, Zhang Xinghan had seen the drinking capacity and bold character of this natural cavalryman and descendant of Genghis Khan.  Sabli also admired Zhang Xinghan very much. After all, Zhang Xinghan was so young but was able to turn the tide. He led a garrison brigade of less than ten thousand people to not only defend Shenyang City, but also defeated enemies several times his own.  This is definitely worthy of his admiration and respect.  The two met like old friends, and with the officers and soldiers taking turns toasting, they both drank too much by the end.  Unable to ride a horse, Zhang Xinghan and Sabli supported each other and walked back to the brigade headquarters.  Liu Jianguo and Wang Yicai were okay and were not too drunk. They were settling down and dealing with the aftermath with the help of Zang Shiyi.  After returning to the brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to take Sabli to the room that had been prepared for him to rest.  He staggered towards the bedroom, speechless all night.  The next morning, Zhang Xinghan opened his eyes with a headache, washed up and had breakfast.  Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, Gao Zhihang, Sabli and others have been waiting for him in the conference room for a long time.  "AllBe early!  "Zhang Xinghan walked into the conference room vigorously and said hello with a smile. Liu Jianguo and others quickly stood up and said one after another: "It's early in the hotel, Commander Zhang is early.  " "Okay, everyone, sit down.  "Zhang Xinghan came to the first place and sat down, and said with a sigh of relief. "Everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan looked around at everyone present and asked: "How is it? Have the results and losses been calculated?"  Liu Jianguo replied: "According to statistics, our army annihilated more than 12,000 Japanese troops in this battle and seized countless weapons and ammunition."  "More than 10,000 people! Everyone present was surprised and proud. Even though they personally participated in yesterday's unforgettable battle, they were also shocked by this number. "More than 10,000 people, since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to the present day,  , an unprecedented victory that has never been seen in any war between the Chinese nation and Japan. Zhang Xinghan had already expected it, and continued to ask without excitement: "What are our losses?  "Reporting back to the brigade, according to statistics, our garrison brigade and reinforcement cavalry regiment have a total of more than 2,000 soldiers killed and more than 3,000 wounded.  "Liu Jianguo replied. As soon as Liu Jianguo said this, Zhang Xinghan's mood suddenly became extremely heavy. Five thousand people were injured and killed, and his garrison brigade could be said to have suffered more than half of its casualties. "This still has absolute air superiority and the battle situation is completely unfavorable to the Japanese side.  In the eyes of Liu Jianguo and others, they were able to annihilate more than 12,000 Japanese troops at the cost of 5,000 casualties, and achieved such a glorious victory, which was completely worthy of celebration and gratifying. But Zhang Xinghan was not.  Thinking this way, our troops are an era ahead of the Japanese army in terms of equipment, but they still paid such a heavy price in casualties. It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army cannot be underestimated, if they also have weapons that are close to those of the garrison brigade.  Equipment and air power, then the outcome of this battle should be rewritten. Of course, this made Zhang Xinghan realize the fact that the recruits he had rushed to recruit were far lower than the Japanese army in terms of training and combat experience.  If another battle happens one or two times, it is simply not something that I can bear. After all, I am not Marshal Zhang, and the available troops under his command are really pitiful. Not to mention the quality of the temporary expansion of troops, the battle damage ratio cannot keep up.  Zhang Xinghan was worried, but Liu Jianguo and others didn't know it, and said: "Brigade, do you think we should report the great victory achieved by our department to the Marshal or Nanjing Electric Power?  " When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately came to his senses. No matter what the situation would be in the future, this good news must be sent out now. Having made up his mind, Zhang Xinghan stood up immediately and said solemnly: "Immediately send a message to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing. Our department sent a message yesterday  Tens of thousands of Japanese invaders were defeated, 12,000 of them were killed, and countless captured. Shenyang was safe for the time being!  "    "yes!  "Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, and Sabuli stood up at the same time and responded.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 88: Army Major General

    After the meeting, Zhang Xinghan took Shen Xingye to Sujiatun and the airport as well as the regiments in Shenyang City to visit and express condolences to the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade regiments.  At this time, the garrison brigade had been reduced by nearly half, and there were still more than 3,000 wounded soldiers. Zhang Xinghan returned to the brigade headquarters after a visit.  Immediately began discussions with Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai and others to reorganize the troops.  ………………………………… Nanjing, Jiang Gong’s residence.  Wang Shihe, the chief of Jiang Gong's bodyguard, walked out of the communication room of the third attendant's room with a strange look on his face.  Looking down at the message he had just received, Wang Shihe couldn't help but feel excited.  Suppressing his inner excitement, Wang Shihe walked down the corridor towards Mr. Jiang's office.  Not long after, he came to Jiang Gong’s office, although the door of the office was ajar.  But Wang Shihe still tapped twice.  "Dong dong" "Who?" Jiang Gong's voice came from the office, "Principal, it's me, Shihe." Wang Shihe replied in a respectful tone.  "Oh, come in" Wang Shihe then pushed the door open and saw Jiang Zhengyi sitting behind the desk reviewing documents.  Seeing Wang Shihe come in, Mr. Jiang put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter with Shihe?" Wang Shihe stood up and saluted, and said, "Come here, I'm calling from the Shenyang garrison." "Oh? Bring it to me quickly."  ." Mr. Jiang waved his hand expectantly.  Wang Shihe stepped forward according to his words and handed the message to Jiang Gong respectfully.  Jiang Gong took it, opened it and read it quickly. He slammed the table and stood up and praised: "Okay! Great! It was a beautiful fight. This battle has made me more powerful and powerful!" "Such a foreign war.  This is a victory that our country has not had since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Shihe immediately drafted an award in my name, promoted Zhang Xinghan to Army Major General, and awarded another 10,000 yuan. The other officers of the garrison brigade at all levels were rewarded according to their merit!  "Mr. Jiang said extremely excitedly.  "Yes!" Wang Shihe bowed his head and responded, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Jiang Gong worriedly: "Principal, the Japanese have suffered heavy losses outside Shenyang City one after another. I think they may not let it go.  We still need to make complete preparations early." Wang Shihe's words reminded Mr. Jiang. After thinking for a moment, Mr. Jiang frowned and said: "What you said, Shihe, is not unreasonable. With the Japanese way of doing things, it is absolutely impossible.  It's impossible to be willing to suffer a loss. ""The principal also thinks that they will mobilize heavy troops to attack Shenyang again?" Wang Shihe said tentatively.  "This is just one aspect. Not to mention that the Japanese suffered two defeats in a row. It will take time to mobilize troops again. Even if the Japanese attack, Zhang Xinghan will defend Shenyang and there will be no worries in a short time. What I am most worried about is that the Japanese will pass  Political diplomacy is putting pressure on us," Jiang Gong said with a worried look.  ????……………… I have to say that Mr. Jiang’s political sense is quite keen.  At the same time, inside the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Lushun. ?? Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, two good friends, have rushed back to Lushun overnight, and are now reporting the battle damage and apologizing to Honjo Shige.  The news that the Kwantung Army was defeated again under Shenyang City was not concealed this time like last time. Navy Ministry officials reported the news to the headquarters and Emperor Hirohito.  Emperor Hirohito was naturally furious after hearing the news, and ordered the current Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki to immediately hold the Kwantung Army and some officials of the General Staff Headquarters accountable for their negligence.  However, Emperor Hirohito is obviously a little too optimistic. In Japan, where militarism has completely taken over, the emperor is naturally the supreme being.  But policies and practical actions that are conducive to the expansion of the Yamato nation are still very popular among fanatical young soldiers.  In the end, Wakatsuki Reijiro failed to impose any decent punishment. Just to appease the Navy Ministry officials, he symbolically dismissed the current Kwantung Army Senior Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki from his post. At the same time, he replaced the Kwantung Army Commander Honjo Shigeru as a reserve and replaced him with the Army Minister.  Nanjiro took over.  The responsibility and fault of concealing and not reporting the incident and privately initiating the war incident have been exposed by the Japanese government with a tacit understanding.  But regarding the losses suffered by the 6th, 2nd, and 20th Divisions, everyone in Japan, from the emperor down to all members of the cabinet, said they could not let it go.  It is a characteristic of the Yamato nation to retaliate and refuse to suffer losses. What's more, the current Japanese government, especially the military, is controlled by a group of fanatical young officers and careerists.  Regarding how to retaliate, two voices emerged in the Japanese base camp. Some officials, led by the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Navy Anbao Qingzhong, believed that it should be avoided as much as possible.With the outbreak of a large-scale war, diplomatic channels were used to put pressure on the Chinese authorities and Zhang Xueliang, the actual controller of Manchuria.  Strive to obtain Shenyang in a non-combatant manner, forcing Zhang Xinghan's Shenyang garrison brigade and other resistance forces to withdraw from Shenyang, causing them to lose their base, especially the Shenyang Arsenal, the largest arsenal in Northeast Asia.  are annihilating them.  However, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of War, Kazunari Ugaki, and the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Headquarters, Prince Kanin, insisted on mobilizing heavy troops from the country, seizing Shenyang with absolute strength superiority, and completely annihilating the Shenyang garrison led by Zhang Xinghan.  The shame of Yixue Imperial Army being defeated in both battles.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Imperial Japanese Army has never suffered a single defeat from the Qing Empire or Tsarist Russia since the establishment of the army in the Meiji period.  Now, they have defeated Shenyang twice in a row, making the Imperial Japanese Army's invincible reputation a laughing stock around the world.  This is something that those in power in the Japanese government will never tolerate.  Finally, with the mediation of Emperor Hirohito, the navy and army reached an agreement. On the one hand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately put pressure on the Chiang government in China and Zhang Xueliang, the actual general of the Northeast Army, demanding that they immediately order the withdrawal of all resistance forces in Shenyang and surrounding areas.  "Otherwise, the Empire of Japan will not rule out using force to invade China on a large scale.  On the one hand, the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters are actively deploying domestic troops to expand existing troops, calling on a large number of reservists to re-enlist. Once political diplomacy fails to work, they will immediately use force to solve the problem in Manchuria.  In the Kwantung Army headquarters, Honjo Shige unexpectedly did not reprimand Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara.  After listening to the punishment report of Seishiro Itagaki and Seishiro Itagaki, he calmly said to them: "Ishihara-kun, Itagaki-kun, in view of the failure of the second attack on Shenyang, the base camp has issued new orders and instructions. From now on, we will  I no longer serve as the commander of the Kwantung Army and will be replaced by General Nanjiro. General Nanjiro has already set off from the mainland and is expected to arrive in three days. I will return to the country by then. Therefore, I have no right to interfere with your disposal.  All plans will be made after the arrival of the new commander, General Nanjiro." Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji were shocked when they heard this and looked at each other.  Ishihara smiled and said: "General, what is the current attitude of the base camp? How to solve the dilemma facing the Manchuria Incident?" "Well, as far as I know, the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters have issued assembly orders to the remaining divisions in the country.  A large number of reservists are being demobilized. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also preparing to put pressure on the Chinese government. It can be seen that the base camp is not ready to give up. The imperial army will definitely capture Shenyang and avenge the death of more than 10,000 imperial warriors.  "Benzhuang Fan said in a calm tone.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Wanji were secretly happy when they heard this. As long as the base camp is determined to solve the problem by force, there is still a chance for them.  PS: Strongly recommended, please click, recommend, and collect.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 89: Reorganization

    At nine o'clock in the morning on October 2nd, the sky was clear in Shenyang City.  After some discussion, Zhang Xinghan and others decided to reorganize the garrison brigade.  Because the three newly formed regiments of the original garrison brigade suffered too many casualties in the Shenyang defense battle, they were all officially added to the three main regiments of the garrison brigade.  Of the more than 3,100 wounded soldiers, about 1,800 were slightly injured and did not need to be hospitalized. Among the remaining more than 1,300 soldiers, more than 500 were seriously injured and more than 800 were lightly injured and needed hospitalization.  At this point, there are a total of more than 7,800 officers and soldiers in the garrison brigade, excluding the more than 1,300 lightly or seriously injured soldiers hospitalized in this battle and the more than 1,000 cavalry regiments of Sabli.  There are three regiments, each with a strength of more than 1,500 men, and the establishment remains the same.  If you include Sabli's cavalry regiment and the four to five hundred lightly or seriously injured soldiers who were hospitalized due to injuries during the First Shenyang Defense War (see Chapter 52 Visiting the Wounded Soldiers), the current total strength of the garrison brigade still reaches more than 9,000.  It’s close to ten thousand people.  "However, there are nearly two thousand wounded soldiers among them, and they cannot be counted as combat effectiveness.  In the lobby on the first floor of the municipal government building away from the Shenyang Garrison Brigade.  Zang Shiyi, who was selected as agent by Zhang Xinghan, was holding a press conference with a radiant look.  Help Zhang Xinghan deal with temporary reporters stationed in Shen from countries such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union.  As expected, when Zhang Xinghan led the garrison brigade to create another miracle, defeating three Japanese divisions with an outnumbered enemy, the reporters from various countries stationed in Shenyang suddenly went crazy.  This time they were far more excited than last time, because they almost witnessed with their own eyes this victory that could be recorded in history.  Although Zang Shiyi is not as easy to deal with as Zhang Xinghan, his many years of official career have already made him well-informed and capable.  “However, compared to Zhang Xinghan’s previous answers in interviews, Zang Shiyi’s answer seems a bit more official.  Therefore, a group of reporters, led by British Reuters special correspondent Alice and American Time magazine special correspondent Erin Matt, have requested to interview Zhang Xinghan again.  Zang Shiyi had no choice but to report to Zhang Xinghan.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan was chatting with Sabli at the brigade headquarters. He went to drink and celebrate yesterday.  Zhang Xinghan hadn't had time to ask about the real current situation of Heilongjiang and Jilin. In particular, Zhang Xinghan was reluctant to let Sabli return to Heilongjiang, and he and his more than a thousand cavalry.  For Zhang Xinghan at this moment, he is a force that cannot be ignored.  Through the conversation with Sabli, Zhang Xinghan had a general understanding of the situation in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.  Just when he was about to persuade Sabli to follow him to fight against Japan, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard.  Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the sound and saw Zang Shiyi walking towards him with a hurried expression.  Zhang Xinghan and Sabli stood up, walked to the door of the conference room to greet each other, and asked: "Governor Tibet, why is it so urgent?" "Commander, those foreign reporters are strongly requesting to interview you. Do you think you can make time to interview you?"  Them?" Zang Shiyi asked tentatively.  Zhang Xinghan did not answer, but thought for a while.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's silence, Zang Shiyi thought he was unwilling to meet him, so he immediately said: "If you don't have time, Commander, I'll turn it down right away." "Wait a minute." Zhang Xinghan raised his head and said, "We just want to use these foreigners to promote us.  , To strengthen China’s national prestige, you can make arrangements in our brigade headquarters compound.” “Okay, I’ll make arrangements right away,” Zang Shiyi said and turned around to leave.  Watching Zang Shiyi leave, Sabuli, who was standing behind Zhang Xinghan, suddenly said: "Commander Zhang, do you want to avoid this humble position?" "No, we will meet with these reporters from the Western powers later. I remember there are some among them.  "A few young and beautiful Yangma, let me introduce them to you later," Zhang Xinghan said jokingly.  "Hehe" Sabuli blushed in a rare blush, scratched his head, and giggled awkwardly.  "Brief, Nanjing has called back." While Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli were talking, Xiao Lizi, commander of the communications company, came over with a message in his hand.  "Huh? What's the content?" Zhang Xinghan asked habitually, looked at Xiao Lizi, and asked doubtfully: "Where is Su Hanyun? Why do you want you to send the message in person." "She said she had something to take off today." Xiao Lizi asked.  Li Zi replied.  "Oh, how did the Nanjing government react?" Zhang Xinghan nodded and said.  "President Chiang called and promoted you to the rank of Army Major General. All officers and soldiers of our garrison brigade who have participated in the war with merit can draw up a list of personnel and report it to the National Government, and rewards will be given based on merit. In addition, President Chiang also rewarded us with 10,000 yuan."  Xiao Lizi replied.  &nbsp; "Congratulations to Commander Zhang on your promotion!" Sabli quickly raised his hand in congratulations.  "Commander Sa is still polite to me. Your cavalry regiment has made great achievements in this battle. After receiving these reporters later, I will personally draft a telegram to the Nanjing government to ask for credit for you!" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  Su Hanyun changed into a water-red cheongsam today, and put on a very fashionable black British spring and autumn woolen dome hat and boat high heels.  Walking on the street, it looks particularly beautiful and dazzling, and the rate of turning heads is very high.  Carrying her handbag, Su Hanyun walked along Shenyang Street to an inconspicuous restaurant.  She raised her head and looked at the name of the restaurant. After confirming that it was correct, Su Hanyun stepped in.  Su Hanyun found a relatively remote seat to sit down and simply ordered a pot of tea. Su Hanyun began to wait silently for the contact to appear.  Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and black leather shoes walked into the restaurant. After looking around, he noticed Su Hanyun's black dome hat, so he walked straight towards Su Hanyun.  Sensing the sound of footsteps, Su Hanyun turned around subconsciously. When she saw the person coming, she stood up in surprise: "Director Cao, why is it you?" The person coming was Cao Binghua, and he gestured to Su Hanyun.  She was quiet, walked over quickly, and sat opposite Su Hanyun.  After sitting down, Su Hanyun couldn't wait to ask: "Director Cao, when did you arrive in Shenyang?" "I arrived a few days later than you. Now the situation outside the customs is chaotic, and I was delayed for a few days on the way." Cao Binghua picked up Su Hanyun and helped him arrive.  After getting a cup of tea, he held it up and pretended to drink it, but his eyes were watching the surroundings vigilantly and he whispered.  "Oh" Su Hanyun nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.  "I came to Shenyang this time on behalf of a higher-level organization. Firstly, I want to understand the anti-Japanese situation in Shenyang and even Liaoning, and contact our party's anti-Japanese troops. Secondly, I am here for the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. How about it? You have now entered the center of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade.  Institution, what is Zhang Xinghan's attitude towards our party? "Cao Binghua said.  Su Hanyun replied with some embarrassment: "Director Cao, during this period, the garrison brigade has been busy responding to the Japanese attack and defending Shenyang. I have no time to test Zhang Xinghan. Moreover, I just joined the garrison not long ago. If I test rashly, it is very likely that I will  "It's not conducive to the development of future work." "Yes." Cao Binghua nodded in understanding and asked, "Did you make any unexpected discoveries about the Shenyang garrison's victory over the Japanese Kwantung Army again?"  ?" Su Hanyun was a little surprised: "Director Cao, what are you referring to?" "It is the source of the weapons and equipment of the garrison brigade. As far as I know, the weapons and equipment equipped by the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade are not produced by Shenyang Arsenal. Also,  The night before yesterday, Japanese special forces attacked Dongta Airport and destroyed the entire airport together with hundreds of fighter planes. However, the garrison brigade hid a large number of fighter planes at Beiling Airport, which finally surprised the Japanese and reversed the battlefield situation.  , thereby winning the Shenyang defense battle. According to the information we have, the Shenyang Air Force only has more than a hundred fighters at Dongta Airport. Where did the fighters at Beiling Airport come from? We have been instructed by our superiors to investigate at all costs.  The source of the garrison brigade’s weapons, equipment and aircraft,” Cao Binghua said.  "I have never paid attention to weapons and equipment. I have never seen the so-called new equipment. I thought it was ordinary Northeastern Army equipment. As for the hidden aircraft at Beiling Airport, I heard that Zhang Xueliang left it secretly. After the September 18th Incident,  At that time, they were unable to evacuate and were discovered and exploited by the garrison brigade." Su Hanyun answered analytically.  "This is impossible. Our lurkers around Marshal Zhang have never discovered that he has imported fighters of this scale in recent years. If he has, we will not know about it." Cao Binghua denied it and said.  "Where did these fighters come from?" Su Hanyun looked at Cao Binghua in confusion.  "So you must secretly investigate and find out the origin of these fighters." Cao Binghua instructed.  "Okay, I will investigate as soon as possible." Su Hanyun nodded and replied.  She had just finished speaking when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Hanyun, why are you here?" I beg for votes, collections, and all support in the early hours of the morning!  !  !

    This sudden shout surprised both Su Hanyun and Cao Binghua.  Cao Binghua looked up when he heard the sound and saw a young soldier in military uniform walking towards them with a smile on his face.  Su Hanyun also felt that the voice was familiar, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that the person coming was Zhang Xinghua, who had not been seen for several days.  "Xinghua, why are you here?" Su Hanyun stood up quickly.  Zhang Xinghua looked at Cao Binghua, who was sitting opposite Su Hanyun, and said in surprise: "Director Cao, it's you" "You have the wrong person." Cao Binghua pretended not to recognize Zhang Xinghua, stood up and left.  "Hey, Director Caoyou" Zhang Xinghua was confused and just wanted to stop him and ask for clarification.  Su Hanyun reached out to stop him, and whispered: "Xinghua, you identified the wrong person." Zhang Xinghua turned around and looked at Su Hanyun's pleading eyes. He ignored Cao Binghua and asked knowingly: "Hanyun,  What's going on? Director Cao, why doesn't he recognize me? " "It's nothing, he may have his own reasons." Su Hanyun thought about it, but still didn't reveal the truth to Zhang Xinghua.  Zhang Xinghua looked back doubtfully, but Cao Binghua was nowhere to be seen.  Su Hanyun was afraid that he had changed, so she immediately took his arm and asked with concern: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard from your elder brother that you are in the Third Regiment now?" "Well, you are in the Third Regiment. I am now a middle school student.  I'm the squad leader." Zhang Xinghua replied proudly.  "Have you achieved military exploits? Were you not injured in yesterday's battle?" Su Hanyun's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.  "Yes, I was lucky not to be injured, but" Perhaps thinking of the bloody battles of the previous two days, Zhang Xinghua's eyes inadvertently showed a sense of desolate sorrow, and he said sadly: "But many comrades in arms fell in a pool of blood.  "They died for the country." Feeling the sadness in Zhang Xinghua's heart, Su Hanyun patted his shoulder empathetically and comforted him softly: "They are all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, and they are true heroes who are always worthy of our memory."  Let's not talk about this anymore. It's a rare occasion for us to meet each other. Let me treat you to dinner today." Zhang Xinghua suddenly smiled and said, having already forgotten Cao Binghua's unusual behavior just now.  "Okay, but let me treat you." Su Hanyun also smiled and said with a smile.  ………………… "Mr. Commander Zhang, I am Alice, the special correspondent of Reuters in the UK. Mr. Commander must still have an impression of me. Just last time, you led the city defense army to achieve the first victory."  When the Shenyang defense battle was won, I was the first to interview you," Alice, a hot figure, said in unskilled Chinese.  "OhMiss Alice, I remember it, yes, I have an impression." Zhang Xinghan pretended to suddenly realize it, and nodded with a smile.  "Mr. Commander, you have won this battle again. Is this related to your extraordinary command skills? Or are there other factors?" Alice asked with a pen and a small notebook in her hand.  "The reason why our army was able to win this battle was all due to the unity of our entire city's soldiers and civilians. More than 10,000 soldiers in the garrison fought for their lives. Of course, the command of my companions and I is also crucial." Zhang Xinghan replied with a well-deserved answer.  .  "Oh, this is great. Mr. Commander is such a young and talented man. He commanded thousands of troops to defeat the Japanese army, which is known as the strongest army in Asia, twice in succession. I think your commanding ability is enough to put many military seniors to shame.  I'm so embarrassed," Alice said half-jokingly.  "Miss Alice, thank you. Xinghan is a soldier. When my country was invaded, I just fulfilled my duty as a soldier because I couldn't watch the Japanese massacre my compatriots and invade us.  Ignore your hometown, there is nothing else," Zhang Xinghan said righteously.  Alice nodded and quickly lowered her head to record their conversation.  At this time, a young female reporter with blond hair and blue eyes raised her hand.  Zhang Xinghansu gestured with his hand: "Miss, please ask a question." "Dear Commander Zhang, I am Eileen Matt, a special correspondent for Time Magazine. First of all, I would like to thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to ask questions and interview." Eileen  ·Matt stood up and said in very standard Chinese.  Zhang Xinghan nodded calmly on the surface and motioned for him to continue asking questions, but he was so happy in his heart, whether it was Reuters or Time Magazine.  These are all well-known news media agencies in later generations, especially Time Magazine.  In later generations, whether they are political celebrities, wealthy businessmen, or performing arts stars, they are all proud to be on the cover of Time Magazine.  And such a very influential news media is standing in front of me respectfully, interviewing and asking questions, and thinking that it can give them the opportunity to interview.And burst into tears of gratitude.  This is a refreshing feeling that people in this era cannot experience.  Erin Matt nodded in understanding, opened the notebook in her hand, and asked some questions that were similar to Alice's. One of the questions received a solemn reply from Zhang Xinghan.  That is how the garrison brigade will treat captured Japanese soldiers, and whether there is any abuse of prisoners that violates the Geneva Convention and humanitarianism.  Zhang Xinghan's answer was: "I'm sorry, Miss Eileen, my troops have not captured a Japanese prisoner so far. I have to admit that the Japanese invaders are also very tenacious, and they will fight to the end even if they are injured. Therefore,  My subordinates could not capture them alive, so they could only kill them all." Nanjing, Jiang Gong's residence.  It is located in the study room on the left side of the main hall of the mansion.  Principal Jiang, who had just met with Finance Minister Song Ziwen who was designated by him to meet with the Japanese representative in China and others, was furious in the study.  "Mother Xipi! Mother Xipi! These bastard Japanese are bullying others too much. They are simply bullying others too much!" After Song Ziwen finished reporting, he immediately couldn't help but roar.  "President, I am extremely angry about this. The Japanese attitude has been clear. They require us to order Zhang Xinghan and his garrison brigade to abandon Shenyang City immediately. Otherwise, they will no longer guarantee a restrained attitude towards China and are very likely to take large-scale military measures against us."  Take action and use force to solve the problem. "At present, the internal conflicts in the country are not over, and the powerful local factions are really unable to have a direct all-out war with Japan. The president should focus on the overall situation," Song Ziwen quickly advised. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even Zhang Hanqing, who is entrenched in North China, has an ambiguous attitude. The entire country of China seems to be unified, but in fact, local powerful factions have their own agendas and are at odds with the central government.  Under such a background, it would be extremely unwise to rashly launch an all-out war with the Japanese, not to mention whether China will be subjugated.  President Jiang’s leadership position will definitely be seriously threatened. In this case, whether the Shenyang garrison will hold on to Shenyang is not worth mentioning.  After pondering for a moment and calming down the anger in his heart, Principal Jiang shouted to the door: "Shihe!" Please recommend, collect and share in the new week!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 91: Must Evacuate

    After dealing with Alice and a group of reporters, it was already noon, and Zhang Xinghan asked the kitchen to prepare some side dishes.  Sabuli stayed to have lunch with him, and Sabuli did not refuse.  The two had a heart-to-heart conversation, and Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to test it out: "Although the Japanese army has retreated, it will come back sooner or later. I wonder if Commander Sa can stay to help Han?" Sabuli put down his chopsticks, pondered for a while and said: "Really  To be honest, I was ordered to assist Shen Shen. Now that the mission has been completed, the Japanese invaders are fighting fiercely with Commander Ma. I plan to lead the cavalry regiment back as soon as possible to reinforce. " Zhang Xinghan nodded irrefutably. Indeed, the 20th Division's troops.  A brigade with thousands of troops was attacking Heilongjiang at this time.  Ma Zhanshan was leading his troops to resist. Under such premise, he was really embarrassed to force Sabli and his cavalry regiment to stay.  A little disappointed, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. At this moment, Xiao Lizi suddenly hurried out of the communication room and went straight to the main hall.  "House seat, urgent call from Nanjing." Xiao Lizi stood at attention and saluted as he entered.  Zhang Xinghan, a little drunk, turned around and waved his hand and said: "Read it!" "This is to order Zhang Xinghan of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. Your troops have been stationed in Shenyang and have fulfilled their bounden duty as a soldier. They have defended the honor of the Chinese people and served the nation.  For a long-term plan, Shenyang should be evacuated immediately to conserve strength and wait for the opportunity. Before retreating, people in the city should be evacuated or evacuated in an orderly manner. All factories, airports, stations and other industrial infrastructure in the Shenyang Arsenal Industrial Zone should be evacuated.  Destroy it as much as possible, prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy, and use it to support the enemy. Chiang Kai-shek, the National Government, read the message.  After listening to this, Zhang Xinghan sobered up in vain. He stood up and grabbed the message. He read it with a look of disbelief on his face and said, "What's going on? Why did Principal Jiang suddenly order our troops to evacuate Shenyang? What happened?" Xiao Lizi  Shaking his head, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Call back to Principal Jiang immediately. Our department has gone through two bloody battles. More than ten thousand soldiers fought with their lives. Thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. Just now, Shenyang was saved. Today, the morale of our officers and soldiers is  We are prosperous, and we are eagerly waiting for the president's reinforcements to regain our lost territory outside the customs and annihilate the Japanese invaders! How can we give up easily? I hope that the officers and soldiers of our garrison will take back their lives despite the hardships of bloody battles. Xinghan will lead the entire brigade and swear.  Live and die with Shenyang, fight the Japanese aggressors to the last soldier" ………………………………… Nanjing, the residence of Duke Jiang.  The head of the bodyguard, Wang Shihe, walked into Mr. Jiang's office again with Zhang Xinghan's reply call in hand with an embarrassed look on his face.  As Jiang Gong’s most trusted and closest bodyguard, Wang Shihe had no understanding of Jiang Gong’s character and temper.  Let you retreat from Zhang Xinghan and destroy all industrial foundations such as Shenyang Arsenal, and naturally have the difficulties of the principal. You just execute it. What discounts do you play?  “Anyway, you, Zhang Xinghan, have already made a mark in Principal Jiang’s heart. Given time, you will definitely have a bright future.  "However, you ignorantly persuaded the principal to withdraw the order and continue to defend Shenyang.  In Wang Shihe’s view, this is really a mistake. If you can hold on, will the principal let you give up Shenyang immediately?  This Zhang Xinghan will definitely leave a bad impression on the principal in the future, and his bright future will most likely be cast into a haze.  When Wang Shihe walked into the office, Jiang Gong had calmed down a little and was practicing calligraphy with a brush to relieve his depression.  "Principal, Zhang Xinghan has called back." Wang Shihe saluted.  "Oh? What do you say?" Jiang Gong raised his head and looked at Wang Shihe, then lowered his head and continued to dance with dragons and phoenixes.  "Zhang Xinghan does not want to retreat. He wants to lead his troops and vow to live and die with Shenyang." Wang Shihe said.  "Huh?" Principal Jiang paused when he heard this. He raised his head and had a flash of displeasure in his eyes. He reached out and took the message from Wang Shihe.  Opening it and looking at it, Mr. Jiang was not as angry as Wang Shihe expected, but instead showed a rare smile.  He closed the message and smiled to himself: "This Zhang Xinghan is really a loyal man, courageous and bloody. He is much stronger than Zhang Hanqing who only wants to preserve his strength." As he said this, Principal Jiang sighed: "If the party-state  All the generals are like him, so why should we be afraid of mere Japanese slaves?" Wang Shihe's eyes were full of surprise. He didn't understand why Principal Jiang didn't blame Zhang Xinghan for his disobedience.  In fact, it is very simple. No one in power likes his generals to disobey their orders.  Principal Jiang is no exception, but it depends on the background and time.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan disobeyed Duke Jiang was because he wanted to lead his troops to continue fighting against the Japanese invaders, defend the territory and defend the borders, and??Kill the enemy bravely and serve the country.  It is different from some black sheep who run away without authorization when encountering a war crisis, causing the entire battle situation to collapse and fail.  In Jiang Gong’s view, Zhang Xinghan was young, promising, aggressive and courageous. Although he was a little reckless and impulsive, he was a completely loyal and brave man.  His persistence in Shenyang is proof of his passion to serve the country.  Of course Mr. Jiang would not be angry at such disobedience, but would rather appreciate it.  Even Jiang Gong has long-term plans for the future. Zhang Xinghan is now outstanding among the generals of the Northeast Army. With a little favor, he will definitely be able to use it to his advantage in the future. He will achieve unexpected gains in dividing, disintegrating and controlling the Northeast Army.  .  Although it is said that during the Central Plains War, Zhang Hanqing led troops into the Pass to support President Chiang, in fact it was when the Central Army of Nanjing captured Jinan, the Nanjing government was in sight of victory, and all parties involved in the war were exhausted and severely weakened.  It was not without sinister intentions of opportunism, and after more than 100,000 Northeastern Army elites entered the customs, they actually controlled the four provinces of Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei and Suizhou and the three cities of Pingjin and Qingdao.  The Northeastern Army was under the control of Zhang Hanqing. On the surface, it accepted the control of the Nanjing government, but in fact it was an independent entity.  Therefore, Principal Jiang is always thinking about disintegrating the Northeastern Army and bringing it under the jurisdiction of the National Government.  What kind of sworn brothers are worth mentioning in the face of politics and power?  "Principal, how should you reply to Zhang Xinghan?" Wang Shihe asked cautiously.  Principal Jiang pondered for a while and said: "Call back to the garrison brigade and tell Zhang Xinghan clearly that the Japanese suffered a big loss and were unwilling to fail. They put diplomatic pressure on the National Government. If he did not withdraw his troops from Shenyang, Japan would inevitably become overwhelmed.  In order to invade China, for the sake of the overall interests of the nation and the country, the garrison brigade must evacuate from Shenyang. There is a long way to go. Please don't be impulsive and wait for the opportunity" "Yes!" Wang Shihe saluted and turned around.  PS: Thank you to Mr. Wang Arthur for your continued support. I will add updates for you and put them on the shelves of the book on July 5th.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 92: Where to Evacuate

    Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters compound.  Su Hanyun has ended her vacation today, bid farewell to Zhang Xinghua, and returned to the team.  At this time, a message from Nanjing is being received.  After skillfully interpreting all the messages, Su Hanyun took off her earphones, stood up and walked towards the other company commander's office in the communication room with the message in hand.  "Company Commander Li, I just received a call from Nanjing. Do you think it's me who is going to give it to the passenger, or is it?" Su Hanyun came in and asked.  "The host has taken Deputy Battalion Commander Shen out. He's not here for the time being. Let's leave it alone for now." Xiao Lizi pointed to the table in front of him.  "Yes!" Su Hanyun responded. After putting down the message, a look of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she turned and left.  ????????????????It is already night at Beiling Airport.  Airport guards have begun routine patrols, and several searchlights on the watchtower at the airport gate are on as usual, shining back and forth.  ?In the airport, in a large conference room on the second floor of the aviation building.  More than a hundred pilots were sitting at dozens of tables, gathering together to feast and drink wine.  The whole conference room was bustling with people.  The success of the Shenyang defense battle was entirely due to the strength of the air force.  As the commander of the garrison brigade, Zhang Xinghan naturally wanted to have a meal with them to celebrate.  On the round table in the north, Zhang Xinghan, Gao Zhihang, and Liu Cuigang were toasting and drinking.  After three drinks and five dishes, Zhang Xinghan picked up his glass and stood up. Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots at the same table quickly stood up.  After looking around at the pilots present, Zhang Xinghan raised his wine glass and said loudly: "My colleagues, since the September 18th Incident, our army and people in Shenyang have been able to win two consecutive victories, defeat the Japanese army, and save Shenyang. It is all thanks to your air force officers and soldiers who risked their lives.  , I have already asked President Chiang to take credit for all the brothers in the air force. The awards will surely come soon~" More than a hundred pilots present quickly picked up their glasses and stood up. Captain Gao Zhihang spoke righteously and solemnly!  Said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Today, the invaders want to occupy Shenyang. All officers and soldiers of our aviation team rise up to fight back. It is indeed their duty. It doesn't matter whether you have military merit or not. As long as you can defend your homeland, it will not matter if you die as a member of the aviation team."  "Sorry?" "That's good, but I still want to toast all the brothers here in Shenyang tonight! Let's do it first!" Zhang Xinghan said, raising his head and drinking.  He smacked his lips, turned the wine glass in his hand over, and said in a serious voice, "Do it!" "Do it!" Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots responded in unison, raising their glasses to drink together.  Putting down the wine glass, Zhang Xinghan said: "Brothers, there are many things going on in the city. I still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't accompany you. You can drink as much as you want tonight. I'll go back first." "Commander, we'll see you off."  Liu Cuigang immediately expressed his position.  "No, you continue, haha!" Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily and strode out with Shen Xingye.  …………… Zhang Xinghan and others took a jeep back to the brigade headquarters. It was already eight o’clock in the evening.  As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Lizi came up to him with the telegram.  "My guest, a call from Nanjing." Xiao Lizi saluted.  Zhang Xinghan took the message, walked towards the headquarters compound, and opened it.  Xiao Lizi followed Zhang Xinghan. He clearly noticed that Zhang Xinghan's face gradually became serious after opening the message.  "Honor, what should we do?" Xiao Lizi had already read the contents of the message and asked cautiously.  While they were talking, they had already entered the main hall. Zhang Xinghan took off his helmet and put it on the table. After pondering for a while, he turned to Xiao Lizi and said: "Immediately send someone to inform Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment, and Wang Yicai, the commander of the third regiment.  Liu Guodong, the commander of the second regiment, and Sabli, the commander of the cavalry regiment, came to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and told them that the situation was urgent and they should come quickly. " "Yes!" Xiao Lizi stood up and said, turned around and left quickly.  About half an hour later, Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai, Liu Guodong and Sabuli arrived one after another after a long journey.  "Sir, why are you here in such a hurry to see us?" Liu Jianguo was the first to ask.  Zhang Xinghan directly handed him the reply call from Nanjing and said to them: "You should take a look first. This is the second withdrawal order sent to me by Principal Jiang of Nanjing, asking us to withdraw from Shenyang." "What?" Liu Jianguo  He received the telegram in surprise, and after reading it one by one with Wang Yicai and others, they were all a little stunned. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.  In the end, it was Wang Yicai who asked: ?Brother, what are your plans for this?  " Zhang Xinghan didn't answer but asked: "What about you?  Tell me what you guys think?  " Facing Zhang Xinghan's gaze, Wang Yicai took the lead and said: "Let me tell you, it was hard for us to save Shenyang. Moreover, if we withdraw, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang?  We have said that we will live and die with Shenyang and we will never retreat.  " "Commander Wang is right. If our garrison brigade retreats, it is very simple. What will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in the key city?  The Japanese suffered such heavy losses twice in a row. If we withdraw and they fail to retaliate, will they turn their anger on the folks in Shenyang?  "Liu Guodong also followed. "There is another troublesome question, that is, where can we evacuate?  The infantry regiments are easy to talk about, but what about the air force?  What about steel-making and other factories in industrial zones such as Shenyang Arsenal?  "Liu Jianguo, the leader of the first regiment, said with a worried face: "Furthermore, Principal Jiang has already stated in the message that if we do not retreat, it is very likely that the Japanese will invade China with all their might, and then we may disobey the leader's military orders.  , causing war and becoming a national sinner) Zhang Xinghan nodded unequivocally. What the three subordinates said made sense. These were the problems that he actually needed to face at the moment.  Liu Guodong and Liu Jianguo are both right. If it were just the three infantry regiments of the garrison brigade, everything would be easy to say.  You can retreat wherever you want, but the key point is Gao Zhihang’s air force. You can’t let them blow up all the planes. You should retreat with yourself as infantry, right?  Blowing up the planes is not the most important thing. As long as the time is right, Zhang Xinghan can re-equip them with a batch of fighter planes at any time.  The key is the reason. You can’t just have a new batch of fighter jets appear out of thin air, right?  You must know that Gao Zhihang and the pilots are all living people, and they also have their own ideas.  There has to be a valid reason.  The same is true for the Air Force and the Shenyang Arsenal.  Without the cover of Shenyang Arsenal, the source of future weapons will be unclear.  “This is extremely dangerous until you are strong enough, unless you lead your troops into the deep mountains and forests and never show up again.  Of course that is impossible.  Because people in this era are not all idiots and mentally retarded as written in some online novels.  “For example, the leaders of various countries in the world, the reason why they can become the leaders of a country in this troubled world must be different from ordinary people.  When fighting, you can use advanced weapons, fighter planes, experience that is nearly 80 years ahead of this era, and predict the direction of history, and win by chance twice.  But if the news about a watch that can produce unlimited weapons and equipment leaks out, it will definitely bring disaster to yourself.  "It's as if an omnipotent alien suddenly came to the earth in the 21st century. Do you think that for the sake of their own vital survival interests, can all human countries on earth not rise up to eliminate such aliens?  And whether we evacuate Shenyang or not, the resistance against the Japanese will continue and the troops will still develop.  Therefore, the arsenal cannot be set on fire or blown up like President Chiang’s telegram.  Even if the aviation force and arsenal are left alone, Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade cannot safely evacuate like this.  Liu Guodong is right. The Japanese suffered two big losses in Shenyang City in a row, with losses exceeding 10,000 yuan.  It would be considered a great shame and humiliation by the Japanese if Zhang Xinghan really followed Principal Chiang’s order and blew up the Shenyang Arsenal and all industrial and military infrastructure after the evacuation.  The Japanese occupied Shenyang, but they didn’t capture anything, and they couldn’t find a garrison brigade. Based on the nature of the Japanese, it is very likely that the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City would be attacked and vented.  As a Chinese and a descendant of Yan and Huang, Zhang Xinghan must not let the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre be staged in Shenyang City. Even if he is shattered to pieces and all members of the garrison brigade die in battle, he cannot let such a historical tragedy happen.  After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan made an astonishing determination and said to several subordinates: "In that case, then we will evacuate the people in the city, and then dismantle and transport all the factories including the Shenyang Arsenal, leaving an empty city for the Japanese.  "Evacuate the entire city and all factory infrastructure?" Liu Jianguo looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.  Zhang Xinghan nodded.  But Liu Jianguo waved his hand hurriedly and said: "Brigade, this is absolutely not possible. Not to mention that evacuating hundreds of thousands of people will be time-consuming and time-consuming. The nearly 10,000 large and small machines in the Shenyang Arsenal factory complex alone are enough for us to work on. Moreover,  Have you ever thought about taking hundreds of thousands of people and so much industry with you?Where can we evacuate the server equipment?  " "There is also an air force. If we want to withdraw, we have to evacuate to a city with an airport. If the Japanese army follows us and pursues us when we retreat, the consequences will be disastrous!  "Wang Yicai also frowned and said worriedly. PS: Please recommend and support!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 93: Evacuation to Tongliao

    "Where to retreat?" Zhang Xinghan frowned and turned to look at the giant combat map hanging on the wall.  Stepping towards the map, Liu Jianguo and others quickly followed.  Gazing at the map, Zhang Xinghan mused: "Everyone, where do you think we can retreat?" "North and east are definitely not possible, so we can only retreat to the west and south." Liu Jianguo looked at the map and said.  "Not in the Jinzhou direction. Not to mention that we have been regarded as rebels by the Marshal. Even if the Marshal allows us to evacuate to Jinzhou, we can't go because we are too close to the South Manchuria Railway. The Japanese Kwantung Army will definitely not sit back and watch.  We evacuated. You must know that our evacuation is not a simple evacuation of the army. There are hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of industrial machines and other equipment. It cannot be completed overnight," Wang Yicai analyzed.  "Brigade, why don't we first capture Tieling and Siping along the South Manchuria Railway, and then contact General Li Du, the garrison envoy of Yilan, to attack Changchun from both sides? After capturing Changchun, we can defend Jihei with General Ma Zhanshan to resist the Japanese army?"  Liu Guodong stepped forward and pointed at the map and suggested.  Liu Jianguo and Wang Yicai looked at the map and then turned their attention to Zhang Xinghan. Apparently they thought Liu Guodong's proposal was good and were waiting for Zhang Xinghan's decision.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the map, pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "No, this method seems feasible, but in reality it is very difficult. You must know that the strength of the Yilan garrison and other troops has been greatly reduced after the Changchun War, and General Ma Zhanshan also  Being entangled by a brigade of the Korean Japanese army, the key is that we divide our forces to attack Changchun. The Kwantung Army will surely attack Shenyang again. By then, Changchun will not be captured, and Shenyang will also be in crisis. After all, the troops in our hands are still too weak.  , we cannot fight on two fronts. “Moreover, if we want to withdraw from Shenyang without leaving behind hundreds of thousands of elders and a large amount of machinery and equipment in Shenyang City, we must use most of our forces to prevent the Kwantung Army from attacking again.  "We can only stop the Japanese Kwantung Army's attack and buy time for the evacuation of Shenyang." "Then where should we retreat?" Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai and others looked at each other with worried faces.  road.  At this moment, Sabli, who had not expressed his opinion, suddenly stepped forward, pointed to a place name on the map and said: "Everyone, based on your previous analysis, I think that right now, this is the most suitable place for us to evacuate to.  " Zhang Xinghan and others looked at the place pointed by Sabli and asked in surprise: "Horqin Prairie?" Sabli nodded: "To be precise, it is Tongliao Town, which is located at the western end of Songliao Plain.  The northern part is located in the southern foothills of the Daxingan Mountains, bordering Jilin to the east, Fengtian to the south, and Chifeng to the west. If we establish an anti-Japanese base here, we can invade Liaoning and Jilin Provinces and retreat to North China.  It’s actually the best place for us right now.” Zhang Xinghan walked over to the map and looked at it carefully.  Sabli then introduced Zhang Xinghan: "Commander Zhang, please look, this is Tongliao Town, which is about five hundred miles away from Shenyang. If an airport is built here, Commander Zhang's air force will be able to fly there within half an hour."  Shenyang, to carry out bombing and air raids against the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army wants to attack Tongliao from Shenyang, more than five hundred miles is enough for us to respond in advance. " "As far as I know, the Horqin Prairie is flat.  There is no danger to defend the grassland." Zhang Xinghan has never been to other places except around Shenyang when he came to this world, and he only has a rough understanding of the Horqin Grassland in his later memories.  Sabli smiled and explained: "Commander Zhang, you don't know something. The so-called Horqin Prairie is just a broad term for the Horqin Prairie. The Tongliao Town that Beizhi mentioned is located at the westernmost end of the Songliao Plain, and is located in the north.  The southern foothills of the Greater Hinggan Mountains are vast and sparsely populated, shaped like a saddle. The mountains are to the north, hills are to the south, and the plains are in the middle. It is very suitable for housing hundreds of thousands of our compatriots in Shenyang, and on the road to Tongliao Town  , passing through the Qinglong Mountains, we only need to hold on to this traffic artery to withstand the large-scale Japanese attack." "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this, and suddenly he looked up at Sabli and asked.  Said: "Captain Sa, why are you so familiar with Tongliao Town?" Sabuli smiled and said: "To be honest, sir, my hometown is from Horqin." "Oh, I see." "Brigade seat, what should I do?  "Are we evacuating to Tongliao?" Liu Jianguo asked.  "Who is the garrison envoy of Tongliao?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked.  "Zhang Shusen, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, was only a member of the September 1st ArmyAfter the incident, he had already led the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and was ordered to go to Jinzhou.  "Wang Yicai replied. "That means that Tongliao is now in a state of no one's jurisdiction?  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. "Yes, at most, the military police, police and security teams will be left responsible for maintaining law and order.  "Wang Yicai nodded and replied. Zhang Xinghan took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it with a match, took two puffs and slowly exhaled a light smoke, and made up his mind: "That's it.  " "Has the seat been decided?  " Liu Jianguo asked. "Well, it's decided, we will evacuate to Tongliao.  "After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he looked up at his subordinates and said meaningfully: "Brothers, before you execute the order, I have something to make clear to you.  First of all, we have taken advantage of the Japanese. With the nature of the Japanese, they will never let it go. I said that since the gunfire sounded on the night of September 18, there has been no relationship between us and the Japanese.  It is doomed to fight to the death.  We have no choice but to defeat and win.  “As far as the current situation is concerned, we can say that we are in trouble internally and externally. The reason why we gave up Shenyang is just to use greater strength to carry out longer-term resistance in the future.  From a strategic location, the Four Battles of Shenyang cannot be defended for a long time.  What I want to tell you is that today’s retreat is a strategic shift, and one day we will come back.  " "Well, I understand, I understand, Brigadier, please assign us tasks.  "Wang Yicai and others nodded. "Okay!  Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered: "First, the three regiments stayed in Shenyang to assist Governor Zang in arranging evacuation and escorting the people to Tongliao."  In addition, the third regiment needs to send an advance force to rush to Tongliao and strive to repair a simple airport within half a month.  "Brother, don't worry, I will fully cooperate with Governor Zang."  "Wang Yicai immediately expressed his position. Zhang Xinghan nodded and continued: "As for the first and second regiments, the security battalion directly under the brigade headquarters immediately mobilized and went to the Shenyang Arsenal to help disassemble the production line machines. Before the Japanese army invaded, we  No combat missions.  "    "yes!  "Liu Jianguo and Liu Guodong agreed at the same time. "Commander Zhang, what about the humble cavalry regiment?  "Sabuli said quickly when he saw this. "Commander Sabuli is willing to stay and assist my garrison?  Not going back to Heilongjiang for the time being?  "Zhang Xinghan said quite unexpectedly. "Now that the whole city of Shenyang is being evacuated, Commander Zhang, you don't have many troops, so I will lead the cavalry regiment to stay temporarily to cooperate with you in covering this evacuation.  "Sabuli said solemnly. "Okay, Zhang, on behalf of all the people in the city, would like to thank Captain Sa!  "Zhang Xinghan saluted. "The cavalry regiment is temporarily resting. I have important combat tasks for you later.  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. Sabuli nodded, so that Liu Jianguo and others could leave together. After watching Sabuli and others leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, go and notify Mayor Zang immediately.  Let him immediately prepare to mobilize the entire city to evacuate.  " "In addition, my military order is passed on. From now on, all cars and carriages in the city will be brought to one place and used uniformly. The old, weak, women and children will be sent out of the city first. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order and disrupt the order of retreat will be killed without mercy.  !  "    "yes!  "Shen Xingye stood up and responded, quickly taking the order and leaving.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 94: Traitor and Treason

    The order was passed on, and the whole city was in an uproar. As the garrison brigade defeated the Japanese army twice in a row, it won the battle to defend Shenyang.  The sudden need to evacuate the entire city has made many citizens feel overwhelmed, and the vast majority of people are unwilling to evacuate.  Less than three hours before the order was issued, Zang Shiyi, the governor of Fengtian Province and mayor of Shenyang City, who was responsible for coordinating the evacuation, came to Zhang Xinghan's brigade compound with a sad face.  "Commander Zhang, except for the more than 100,000 people who were evacuated from the countryside east of Shenyang, most of the people in the city are unwilling to evacuate." Zang Shiyi complained to Zhang Xinghan with a sad face.  "Oh? What's going on? Didn't you tell them that the retreat was an order from the National Government?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "I have said it, but most of them are aboriginal people who have lived in Shenyang for generations. Some of them have great businesses. It is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to have them all abandon these evacuations at once." Zang Shiyi continued intermittently with some hesitation.  Said: "Andand" "And what? If you have something to say, just say it." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Moreover, there is opposition among the citizens in the city. Not only do they oppose the evacuation of Shenyang, they are also questioning you, Commander Zhang, saying that you have sworn to live and die with Shenyang, and the city is still there." Zang Shiyi said bravely.  Zhang Xinghan did not get angry after hearing this, but suddenly laughed, "Hahaha" "Commander Zhang, what do you think we should do about this?" Zang Shiyi asked tentatively, beating in his heart.  "In this case, you go and arrange to send those people who are willing to evacuate first. As for those who are unwilling to evacuate, tell them that the evacuation of our garrison brigade is in compliance with the order of Jiang Gong of the Nanjing National Government, and we have caused damage to the Japanese army twice in a row.  The heavy casualties, our soldiers have no fear of death, lest the Japanese break through the city defenses and kill my Shenyang elders, we decided to retreat In short, Governor Tibet, no matter what means or methods you use, you must bring down the people of the whole city!  Evacuate as much as possible to Tongliao. Of course, if there are people who are really unwilling to evacuate and are willing to stay with the Japanese as obedient citizens and slaves of the subjugated country, leave them alone! Of course, if there are people who are really unwilling to leave their hometowns, there are nearby cities.  If relatives defect, they can also be allowed to leave on their own," Zhang Xinghan said.  "This" Although Zhang Xinghan's order was a bit overwhelming, Zang Shiyi looked at his unquestionable face and had to lower his head and said: "Okay, Zang will do his best."   Honjo Shigeru has received his "ticket" to return home, and the new commander Nanjiro unexpectedly arrived in Port Arthur early to take office.  And announced the punishment of Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara from the base camp in person.  Knowing that he could still serve in the Kwantung Army, Itagaki Seishiro was overjoyed and did not care at all about the punishment of his dismissal from the base camp.  Nanjiro is also quite good at controlling people. Knowing that he is a new official, he has to rely on Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others for many things in order to integrate into this new position as soon as possible.  Therefore, based on the order of the commander of the Kwantung Army, he established a separate operational investigation and processing team for the Manchuria Incident, with Seishiro Itagaki as the team leader.  Ishihara Kanji stayed at the headquarters and continued to serve as a staff officer.  This investigation and processing team, in fact, the mission assigned to it by Nanjiro is a spy agency similar to the Special High School Action Team. ? Established specifically for the situation after the September 18th Incident.  There are no specific mission targets, but it can have a hand in everything involving the Manchurian Incident.  To put it bluntly, in order to establish a good relationship with Itagaki Seishiro, Nanjiro gave him a temporary position so that he could be commanded and utilized.  And Itagaki Seishiro is indeed an outstanding talent of the Japanese Empire.  “ As soon as this investigation and processing team was established, he obtained an important piece of information through his friend Kenji Doihara, who had just returned to Manchuria from China and had been responsible for assisting the Special High School Class in conducting espionage activities in China for a long time.  Taonan garrison envoy Zhang Haipeng and Dongbian Dao garrison envoy Yu Zhishan had sent people to change their banners and join the Kwantung Army.  Itagaki Seishiro did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan to Dalian to plot their surrender.  In order to show respect and sincerity, Itagaki Seishiro personally met with Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan.  As senior generals of the Feng clan, Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan proposed to Itagaki Seishiro that the Taoliao and Shancheng towns should be separated. They each served as commanders of security and security as a condition for surrendering to the Japanese.  Itagaki Seishiro did not dare to make the decision privately, so he immediately bid farewell to the two of them and returned to the Lushun Kwantung Army Headquarters to report to the new commander Nanjiro.  "Your Excellency General, Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan haveWith agreement, he surrendered to the imperial army.  "Itagaki Seishiro paused and said: "But they have some conditions and want the imperial army to support the independence of their jurisdiction.  " "Zhang Haipeng?  Yu Zhishan?  "Nanjiro looked at Itagaki in confusion. "The general doesn't know. They are the Taonan garrison envoy and the Dongbian Dao garrison garrison of the Northeast Army respectively. They are also very senior in the Northeast Army, especially Zhang Haipeng. He and  Zhang Zuolin had the Jinlan Alliance and was quite prestigious within the Northeastern Army. If the Imperial Army could get his help, it would be of great help to us in comprehensively attacking and occupying the three provinces of Manchuria.  " "Since they want to join the Imperial Army, they should show sincerity to the Imperial Army to show their loyalty. How dare you put forward conditions?  " Nanjiro said disapprovingly. Itagaki Seishiro lowered his head and explained: "General, the Chinese people have a proverb. I don't know if the general has heard of it.  "    "Speaking.  " Nanjiro gestured with his hands raised. "Being a bitch and wanting to build a memorial arch describes a person who has done bad things but also wants a good reputation. Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan have this mentality. For such people, I think they  Better control, more usable by the Imperial Army, and more effective for our Empire of Japan.  "Itagaki Seishiro explained and analyzed. Nanjiro seemed to understand. He nodded and said: "Itagaki-kun, you are fully responsible for this matter. Local reinforcements will not be able to arrive in a short time. We do not have enough troops. I hope Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhi  The people of Shan can be used by the imperial army and play their due role!  "Hai, please rest assured, General, you will do your best for your humble duty!"  "Itagaki Seishiro suddenly lowered his head. Before Itagaki Seishiro could leave, Ishihara Wanji, who was still serving as a staff officer at the headquarters, suddenly hurried in. Without even bothering to say hello to Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Wanji saluted Nanjiro and said, "Commander  Your Excellency, we have just received the latest news from the lurking personnel at the Shenyang Station of the Super High School. Zhang Xinghan, commander of the Shenyang garrison brigade, has ordered the entire city to evacuate.  "    "What?  " Nanjiro and Itagaki Seishiro were both shocked. " Ishihara-kun, is this news accurate?  Where do the Chinese plan to retreat?  " Before Nanjiro could ask, Itagaki Seishiro asked first. "It's true. The report from the Special High School said that Zang Shiyi, the former mayor of Shenyang, has begun mobilizing and evacuating the entire city.  It's still unclear where to evacuate this, but I think the Special High School agents will find out soon.  "Ishihara smiled and said. "Hey, it seems that the diplomatic pressure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is effective, but why on earth did the commander of the Northeast Army in Shenyang City want to evacuate the entire city?  "Nanjiro nodded happily but said in confusion. "Your Excellency General, I think Zhang Xinghan wanted to leave an empty city for the imperial army so that we could get nothing. You must know that Shenyang is the largest and most powerful city in Fengtian Province and even in the entire Manchuria.  It is a wealthy city. Among other things, the main assets of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, such as the Shenyang Arsenal, are located in Shenyang. This shows how sinister Zhang Xinghan's intention to evacuate the entire city is.  "Ishihara Wan'er analyzed. "Bagaya Road, Zhang Xinghan is very cunning and very hateful. He must not be allowed to empty Shenyang. We must find a way to stop him!  " Nanjiro was furious when he heard this. "General, don't be anxious. Shenyang has a large population of hundreds of thousands. Evacuating all of them cannot be accomplished overnight. Our top priority now is to find out who the Chinese people are.  Escape route and destination, so that we can formulate countermeasures to stop it!  " Itagaki Seishiro hurriedly suggested. "Yes.  Nanjiro nodded and said to Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro: "Order the intelligence department to closely monitor the movements of Shenyang China's military and civilians and figure out their retreat route and destination as soon as possible."  " "Hai!  "Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro lowered their heads at the same time, then turned around and left hand in hand.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 95: Evacuation Begins

    In Shenyang City, the first batch of more than 100,000 people who moved from the villages in the east town of Shenyang began to evacuate.  "Compared with the aboriginal people in Shenyang, they were more likely to accept the order to evacuate to Tongliao.  After all, they can no longer return to their home. It is the same to them whether they are in Shenyang or Tongliao.  And Zang Shiyi, chairman of Liaoning Province and mayor of Shenyang City, has promised them that as long as they evacuate to Tongliao, the government will not ignore them and will provide them with the most basic living security.  Of course, in addition to their promises, Zang Shiyi and other government officials also told the people that if the Japanese invaded Shenyang, their lives and property would likely be threatened.  At this time, the people in the Northeast were still very simple. In addition, after the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xinghan led the garrison brigade to fight to the death and turn the tide. Therefore, the garrison brigade was still very popular in Liaoning, especially in Shenyang.  On the one hand, they are vicious invaders, and on the other hand, they are the soldiers from their hometown, and they are the soldiers who protect them with their lives and blood.  Since these young soldiers would rather die than retreat and did not abandon the old, weak, women and children to escape alone, they are of course willing to evacuate to a safe place with these guardians.  Where there is a blue sky and white sun, red flags all over the ground, and soldiers of the garrison, they will feel safe in their hearts.  More than 100,000 people were evacuated. Even if Zhang Xinghan gathered the garrison brigade and all the cars in the city, it would not be enough.  Therefore, we can only go there by car in batches, while most of the others walk out of the city and head towards Tongliao.  During the evacuation, Zang Shiyi strictly followed Zhang Xinghan’s orders, and the elderly, weak, women and children were given priority in taking the bus to Tongliao.  When the first batch of evacuated people arrived in Tongliao by car, all the cars immediately returned, filled with people who were walking and continued to move forward. This cycle continued until the first batch of more than 100,000 people arrived in Tongliao.  Of course, a small group of troops took priority in cars and headed towards Tongliao ahead of the evacuated people.  They are an advance team sent by the Third Regiment composed of engineers, infantry, and some engineers and technical workers who participated in the construction of Beiling Airport.  Their mission is to arrive at Tongliao first and immediately organize the local people to repair an airstrip within half a month for the Shenyang Air Force to evacuate, land and conduct operations.  After careful consideration, Wang Yicai, the leader of the third regiment, handed over this task to Du Ting's second battalion and first company. The reason for this arrangement.  Naturally, considering that Zhang Xinghua is in the Second Battalion and the First Company, all fools know that Tongliao will soon become the rear area of ??the garrison and the anti-Japanese base area.  Wang Yicai sent a company to Tongliao first, with the purpose of protecting Zhang Xinghua.  On the road leading to Tongliao, about two dozen military trucks were meandering along the dirt road.  The trucks in the front and the trucks in the back were full of heavily armed officers and soldiers of the first company, about a hundred people.  The dozen or so trucks in the middle carry dozens of engineers, engineers and other technical personnel, as well as a batch of necessary equipment and tools for building the airport.  In the cab of the leading military truck, Liu Zhenhu, the company commander, personally acted as the driver, and Zhang Xinghan, the sergeant squad leader, was lucky enough to sit in the co-pilot and ride in the same car with Liu Zhenhu.  The reason why Zhang Xinghua has this honor is not because he is Zhang Xinghan's younger brother, but because of the posthumous friendship between him and Liu Zhenhu during the bloody battle in Sujiatun.  The two fought bloody battles side by side. Zhang Xinghua's performance greatly exceeded Liu Zhenhu's expectations. He did not expect that Zhang Xinghua, a student soldier and a son of a wealthy family, would dare to fight for his life with a little Jaap.  Zhang Xinghua used his actual actions to prove to Liu Zhenhu that the men of the Zhang family were by no means cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death.  He will never embarrass his eldest brother or the Zhang family.  "Company commander, how did you learn to drive?" Zhang Xinghua asked boredly while sitting in the passenger seat.  "During the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, I learned to drive a car, but I wasn't very good at it. Later, I entered the Northeast Martial Arts Hall and studied for a while, so I became good at it." Liu Zhenhu replied while driving.  "Oh, can you teach me if you have time?" Zhang Xinghua said with interest.  "Okay, when we gain a foothold in Tongliao, I will teach you. Not only will I teach you, but I will also teach all the brothers in our company. It is not enough for modern warfare if you don't know how to drive a car." Liu Zhenhu said.  "That's a deal." "Well, it's a deal!" In addition to sending Liu Zhenhu Company as the advance team, Wang Yicai sent two other companies, the First Battalion and the Second Battalion, out of the city.  He accompanied and protected the people as they retreated to Tongliao.  Directly under the Third Battalion and the Regiment HeadquartersThe troops stayed in the city to maintain public security and ensure order in the city to prevent enemy agents from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.  At the same time, thousands of officers and soldiers including the First and Second Regiments and the security battalion directly under the brigade headquarters rushed to the Shenyang Arsenal to gather.  Help the technicians and workers of Shenyang Arsenal to start dismantling all machinery and equipment, including power plants, steel mills and other equipment.  Zhang Xinghan led Shen Xingye to the arsenal to supervise and command.  And Sabli's cavalry regiment was transferred to Sujiatun by Zhang Xinghan for temporary stationing, just in case.  "Brigade, we can't just patronize the arsenal. We should also control all the banks in Shenyang as soon as possible, load all the gold and cash inside and prepare them for evacuation at any time." In an office in the arsenal, Liu Jianguo suddenly suggested  road.  "Bank?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized and stood up and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that." "Then I will take someone to do it right away?" Liu Jianguo said.  "Not only the bank, but also Marshal Zhang's Mansion. The Zhang family and his son have been in power in the Northeast for many years. The Marshal's Mansion must have accumulated a lot of wealth." Zhang Xinghan said: "In this case, Jianguo, you take a team of people to the bank and escape.  "Take a company to the Marshal's Mansion."  Not appropriate?" Liu Jianguo said hesitantly.  "In the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang ignored the life and death of 30 million people in the three eastern provinces and refused to resist. It's time for him to provide some money for the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated and resettled. They were in urgent need of money. The Young Marshal's Mansion  Wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't take the money and leave it to the Japanese?" Zhang Xinghan turned to Shen Xingye with a firm attitude and said, "Yizhi, if you encounter any obstacles when you get to the Young Marshal's Mansion, just tell Mrs. Zhang and Miss Yu.  This money originally belonged to the people, and it’s time to return it to the people.” “Yes!” Shen Xingye happily agreed and turned around to accept the order.  "Sir, is this appropriate?" Liu Jianguo said with a worried look on his face as he watched Shen Xingye leave.  "There is no right or wrong, only right or wrong. If you want to watch hundreds of thousands of people starve and freeze to death on the Horqin Grassland, then I will let Shen Xingye come back." Zhang Xinghan said.  Liu Jianguo lowered his head when he heard this and said no more.  "Okay, go quickly, I know my own rules." Zhang Xinghan waved to him.  "Yes." Liu Jianguo no longer hesitated, and after saluting, he was ordered to leave.  ………………… More than 100,000 people came out of the city with great momentum. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it from the Japanese agents lurking in Shenyang City.  Some Japanese agents mixed in with the retreating crowd and happened to overhear the conversation of several garrison brigade soldiers who were responsible for accompanying the escort, and learned the retreat destination of the garrison brigade.  Moreover, Japanese agents lurking in Zhangwu and Xinmin also accidentally discovered traces of the advance team of the Third Regiment.  These news were quickly reported to the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters by Japanese military agents through the radio.  At the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Lushun, Nanjiro handed the intelligence message of the Special High School to Seishiro Itagaki, who had just arrived under orders.  After he read it, he asked: "Itagaki-kun, what do you think?" Seishiro Itagaki held the telegram in his hand and muttered: "Zhang Xinghan did not evacuate to Xinmin and Jinzhou, but chose Tongliao, which is farther away. His intentions are really  It is intriguing. Based on the intelligence analysis provided by our agents around Zhang, it seems to be a fact that Zhang Xinghan is at odds with their young commander. " "I want to know what action we should take next. Should we just sit back and watch China.  Are the troops evacuating?" Nanjiro continued to ask.  "Of course not, General, Zhang Xinghan's evacuation just gave us an excellent opportunity to fight." Itagaki pretended to be mysterious.  "Fighter plane? What kind of fighter plane? Please speak clearly, Mr. Itagaki." Nanjiro said with a sigh of relief.  "Defeat the China garrison and take the opportunity to capture Shenyang's fighter plane." "Be specific." "First of all, according to the information provided by our agents, the number of Chinese people currently evacuating to Tongliao out of the city is nearly 100,000. Such a huge retreat  , the garrison brigade will definitely send troops to escort. As a result, the strength of the garrison brigade in the Shenyang area will inevitably be weakened. I think that with the 2nd Division and the 20th Division as the main force, the troops will be divided into two groups to attack Shenyang again, and we will definitely be able to win in one battle.  Victory, capture Shenyang." Itagaki Seishiro had a well-thought-out plan.  After hearing this, Nanjiro nodded thoughtfully, then turned to the staff officer Ishihara Wanji next to him and asked: "Ishihara-kun, what do you think?" "General, Your Excellency, Itagaki-kun's plan is very good, but it is not perfect yet." Ishihara Wanji  I looked at Itagaki Seishiro and said to Nanjiro.  "Oh? Is there anything imperfect????  Please tell me, Mr. Ishihara.  "Nanjiro said slightly surprised. "I believe that Zhang Xinghan will never send his main force to escort the people to evacuate, so most of their main force must still be in Shenyang, and they also have a strong air force. It will be difficult to win if they attack the imperial army rashly.  Before attacking Shenyang, a mobile cavalry force could be sent to attack the retreating Chinese people and lure Zhang Xinghan to send troops out of the city for rescue. In this way, the certainty of attacking Shenyang would be much greater.  "Ishihara Wanji analyzed slyly. "Well, Ishihara-kun's suggestion is very good.  "Nanjiro nodded approvingly. "But now the 6th Division has suffered heavy losses and the local reinforcements have not yet arrived. Are our troops somewhat insufficient?  "Nanjiro was a little worried again. "General, don't worry. The imperial army does not need to handle the task of the attack in person. You can completely use Zhang Haipeng's department. As far as I know, the predecessor of Zhang Haipeng's department was the first unit of the 32nd Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army.  They can be used to complete the task. Even to attack Shenyang, they can also use Yu Zhishan's troops as the vanguard and let them fight with the garrison. After both are injured, the imperial army will attack again and win at the minimum cost.  "Ishihara smiled with an extremely cunning smile. "Hey, Ishihara-kun is really resourceful, so let's do it like this.  "Nanjiro nodded in agreement very happily. PS: Please inform me in advance that Huben will be on the shelves tomorrow afternoon. I will update this chapter today. I will update another chapter for the public version tomorrow morning. After it is released in the afternoon, I will do my best.  I will burst out with all my strength. I will tell you more when I say it on the shelves. Please leave a few monthly tickets for Huben to help Huben sprint to the monthly ticket list. Thank you!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 96: Crisis Surrounded

    Taonan County, Taoliao garrison headquarters.  Accompanied by the guardian envoy Zhang Haipeng, the famous Japanese agent Kenji Tong Doihara of China walked into the compound of the envoy Zhang Haipeng.  Accompanying him were Yu Zhishan, the garrison envoy of Dongbian Road, and his adjutants.  After entering the main hall, Zhang Haipeng invited Doihara Kenji and Yu Zhishan to take their seats.  The orderly had already served them tea.  After everyone sat down, Zhang Haipeng stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Mr. Doihara, I wonder what General Nanjiro's attitude is towards the reorganization of our department and Brother Yu's department?" Doihara Kenji smiled and was kind.  He said: "Zhang Sang, Yu Sang, first of all I want to congratulate you. General Nanjiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan, has agreed to your conditions. Therefore, starting immediately, your two troops can officially announce*  *, the imperial army will provide you with weapons, ammunition and even military advisors and other support." Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan looked at each other, beaming with joy, and said: "If this can be done, brother Yu and I will do our best to serve the imperial army and serve the people.  His Majesty the Emperor repaid you with all his heart. " "We fully believe in your sincerity, and the Empire of Japan regards you as its most loyal ally," Kenji Doihara said, standing up and extending his left hand.  Zhang Haipeng quickly stood up and shook hands with him.  "Zhang Sang and Yu Sang wish us a happy cooperation!" Kenji Doihara said with a smile after shaking hands with Yu Zhishan.  "Happy cooperation!" Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan nodded repeatedly in flattery.  "By the way, Zhang Sang, Yu Sang, His Excellency General Nanjiro still has a task for you." Doihara Kenji pretended to remember.  "What mission?" Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan looked at each other and asked.  "Zhang Sang led his cavalry troops to form a mobile unit and attacked the soldiers and civilians of the garrison brigade evacuating from Shenyang to Tongliao, forcing the main force of the garrison brigade to leave Shenyang for rescue, creating an opportunity for the imperial army to capture Shenyang." Doihara Kenji said it without any doubt.  He seductively said to Zhang Haipeng: "Zhang Sang, as far as I know, the number of civilians evacuated from Shenyang is as high as more than 100,000. All of them moved their families and evacuated." Doihara Kenji's words fell on this  In Zhang Haipeng's ears, Zhang Haipeng's eyes immediately lit up.  Who is Zhang Haipeng?  He was born as a fierce bandit. In his early years, he traveled across the western Liaoning region, robbing homes and businesses, and did all kinds of evil.  Therefore, after Doihara Kenji reminded him, he immediately realized that this was a good trip.  There are more than 100,000 people. How many oceans and how many gold and silver jewelry are there?  As for the danger, the old and cunning Zhang Haipeng is really not worried. His cavalry is coming and going like the wind, not to mention some escorting garrison brigade infantry. Even Marshal Zhang's ** Cavalry Brigade can't do anything to him.  Zhang Haipeng still has this confidence.  While Zhang Haipeng was still contemplating his lust, Doihara Kenji said to Zhishan: "Yu Sang, your troops must move to Liaoyang immediately and be ready to assist the main force of the imperial army in raiding Shenyang." "How about it?"  Zhang Sang, Yu Sang, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, Doihara Kenji asked.  Only then did Zhang Haipeng react and quickly expressed his position: "Please tell Commander Nanjiro, Mr. Doihara, that Brother Yu and I will fully cooperate with the imperial army in this operation!" "Youxi, when the imperial army captures Shenyang, you two will  For your first achievement, Commander Nanjiro and my base camp will definitely give you two big rewards!" Doihara Ken nodded happily.  That night, Zhang Haipeng led his four cavalry regiments to leave Taonan and head towards Tongliao.  Yu Zhishan also ordered his three infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, with nearly 10,000 troops, to assemble in the directions of Liaoyang and Benxi from Shancheng Town and other important towns on the east side.  Taonan is located in the northwest of Jilin, at the junction of the three northeastern provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia.  The straight-line distance from Tongliao is more than 240 kilometers, and the actual distance is more than 500 miles.  When Zhang Xinghan chose Tongliao as his retreat destination, he did not fail to consider Taonan garrison envoy Zhang Haipeng, a notorious traitor unit in history.  But when the situation in Northeast China is still unclear, Zhang Xinghan is not sure whether Zhang Haipeng will still defect to the Japanese.  After all, the traitor troops of Xiqia and Jixing in Jilin Province have been greatly reduced in strength and are at a disadvantage.  The garrison brigade defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army twice in Shenyang and achieved brilliant victories.  The Japanese Kwantung Army’s efforts to capture the three eastern provinces were blocked in Shenyang City.  Under such circumstances, would Zhang Haipeng, an old and cunning old bandit, still surrender to the Japanese and commit treason and become a traitor?  Even if Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler, he cannot predict the answer, because he has already changed history.  &nbsp; You must know that as early as in history, the two provinces of Liaoning and Jilin should have fallen into the hands of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan, two famous traitors, and the local powerful faction of the Northeast Army have also changed their banners long ago.  Became a traitor.  So this is full of unknown variables.  " Moreover, Tongliao and Taonan are nearly 600 miles apart. Zhang Haipeng, an old traitor with a background of bandits, cannot pull off any decent tricks, so Zhang Xinghan really doesn't take him to heart.  Originally, Zhang Xinghan planned to wait until he had established a foothold in Tongliao and freed up his hands to deal with Zhang Haipeng, a big traitor. After all, the four cavalry regiments under him were good supplementary soldiers.  However, what Zhang Xinghan didn’t expect was that Zhang Haipeng would take the initiative to attack him.  When Zhang Haipeng led his troops from Taonan, the advance team of the third regiment led by Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua had already traveled nearly 100 kilometers.  As long as the truck has fuel, it can move forward without stopping.  But the same cannot be said for war horses. Every time they run for a period of time, they must stop to eat and rest.  In contrast, the marching speed of Zhang Haipeng's four cavalry regiments was much slower than the advance team of the garrison brigade.  The next morning, after a day and night of rapid march, the advance team had left the border of Liaoning and entered the Zhelim League, that is, the Horqin grassland area.  It is less than fifty kilometers away from Tongliao Town.  At three o'clock in the afternoon, the advance team arrived at Tongliao Town. The number of defenders left in Tongliao was not beyond the expectations of Sabli and others, with only more than a hundred military police, police and militiamen.  Liu Zhenhu immediately recruited them, and at the same time found political officials in the Tongliao area and asked them to mobilize young and strong labor to prepare to start repairing an airport.  Zhang Xinghua was ordered to take a squad of soldiers to escort the engineers to select a site for the airport.  Liu Zhenhu led other officers and soldiers to start repairing the defense fortifications. Although it is impossible for Japanese soldiers to infest this place, it is about to become the rear area of ??the garrison brigade and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shenyang. Necessary defenses are still needed.  Liu Zhenhu’s caution saved the lives of him and the officers and soldiers of the advance team, workers and engineers.  To a certain extent, it even saved the garrison brigade and hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan in Shenyang City has taken all the huge wealth of the Marshal's Mansion and Shenyang Bank for his own use.  During this period, when Shen Xingye led people to the Marshal's Mansion to search the house, the behavior of Zhang Xueliang's wife, Miss Yu, was somewhat beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectations.  She didn’t resist or refuse at all, and allowed Shen Xingye to lead people to empty out all the belongings in her house.  The Shenyang evacuation operation was in full swing. Just in case, Zhang Xinghan ordered Gao Zhihang to send fighter planes to closely monitor the movements of Japanese troops in Liaoyang, Benxi, and even Yingkou.  Because Yu Zhishan’s troops received instructions from Ishihara Wanji, they took advantage of the night march and rushed to the Benxi and Liaoyang areas one after another.  Therefore, Gao Zhihang’s aviation team failed to detect this abnormal situation.  Time passed like this minute by minute. The major dismantling of the Shenyang Arsenal was still in progress. Zang Shiyi and some former Shenyang Municipal Government officials were also busy running around.  The entire city of Shenyang is in a state of extreme excitement and noise.  In the evening, Zhang Xinghan dragged his tired body back to the brigade headquarters with Shen Xingye.  As soon as he entered the brigade headquarters compound, Communications Corpsman Su Hanyun came up to him in a hurry with a message.  “Brigade, I just received another message from a mysterious radio station.” Su Hanyun saluted and reported.  "Oh? What's the content?" Zhang Xinghan was very curious.  "The message says that Yu Zhishan, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's East Road garrison, and Taoliao garrison's Zhang Haipeng may have surrendered to the enemy, reminding us to pay more attention and be careful," Su Hanyun said.  "Yu Zhishan, Zhang Haipeng?" Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately strode towards the war room.  Coming to the map, Zhang Xinghan found the locations of Yu Zhishan and Zhang Haipeng on the map.  The east road where Yu Zhishan is stationed is in the northeast of Shenyang. There is not much threat, but it is Zhang Haipeng in Taonan.  At this time, it is certainly impossible for such a large-scale retreat from Shenyang City to be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Japanese.  If Zhang Haipeng has really surrendered to the enemy and treason, then he will be in great danger to Tongliao.  Thinking that the advance team sent by the garrison brigade to Tongliao only had one company of troops, Zhang Xinghan's heart skipped a beat.  "Yizhi." Zhang Xinghan turned his head and shouted.  "My humble duty is here, what are your orders?" Shen Xingye heard the voice and stepped forward.  "Immediately send someone to notify Sabli and ask him to rush the cavalry regiment towards Tongliao. In addition, the armored company will alsoGo and rush to Tongliao as quickly as possible.  "Right now, Tongliao is too important to Zhang Xinghan. If Zhang Haipeng takes Tongliao, the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the garrison and the hundreds of thousands of elders in Shenyang City will be cut off. Unless he gives up the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City.  People, blow up all the machinery and equipment, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Sabli and Li Zhenyuan can lead a cavalry regiment and a cavalry armored company from Sujiatun to the south of Shenyang City and go straight to Tongliao.  However, the journey of nearly 500 miles can be reached in an hour and a half. The next morning, Sabli and other reinforcements were still halfway there, and a cavalry battalion of Zhang Haipeng's vanguard finally arrived at Tongliao after three days and two nights of rapid march.  This cavalry battalion did not expect that Tongliao was already stationed with troops from the garrison. It was caught off guard by Liu Zhenhu's command of the troops and suffered heavy losses.  Only then did I remember to report this information. Due to the heavy firepower of the defenders Liu Zhenhu Company, the puppet cavalry battalion did not know the actual strength of the advance team, so it was delayed until the afternoon when Zhang Haipeng and the remaining main force of thousands of cavalry arrived.  Finding that the advance team was insufficient, he immediately commanded the troops to attack and defend the town. With the help of buildings and fierce machine gun fire, Zhang Haipeng repelled the puppet troops' attacks again and again. Seeing that the defenders were insufficient, Zhang Haipeng commanded the troops to attack.  The entire Tongliao town was surrounded and they took turns to attack. Liu Zhenhu, while commanding the soldiers to resist in a bloody manner, quickly used the radio to ask for help from Shenyang.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 97: Critical Situation

    Zhang Xinghan was afraid of what might happen. After sending out the cavalry regiment and armored company last night, he almost stayed up all night worried.  Before he could take a nap, Su Hanyun rushed in and said in a panic: "The hotel is not in good condition. The advance team is besieged by a large number of puppet cavalry. Currently, the company commander Liu Zhenhu is leading the soldiers to resist desperately.  "The situation is extremely critical. Company Commander Liu requested the brigade headquarters to send reinforcements as soon as possible." After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan responded quickly: "Immediately call the airport and inform Captain Gao to send fighter jets and bombers to Tongliao as soon as possible."  Provide air support to the advance team. Remember to take off reinforcements in batches to provide maximum air support to the advance team. At the same time, call back to the advance team and tell them that the reinforcements are already on the way and ask them to do it no matter what.  Stick to it!" "Yes!" Su Hanyun responded and did not leave immediately.  "Why, is there anything else?" Zhang Xinghan felt heavy at this time, with a bit of displeasure in his tone.  "Xinghua is also in the advance team." Su Hanyun said with a worried look.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this. He raised his head and stared at Su Hanyun's beautiful face for a while, then calmed down and waved his hand: "I understand, you can go ahead." "Xinghua, you must stand up.  Stay." Zhang Xinghan said silently as he watched Su Hanyun leave with a somewhat sad figure.  Not long after Su Hanyun left, a fighter plane took off from Beiling Airport, roaring through Shenyang City and flying towards Tongliao.  Not long after, there was another burst of hurried footsteps in the brigade headquarters compound. Zhang Xinghan looked back when he heard the sound, and saw Wang Yicai, the leader of the third regiment, walking in a hurry.  "Brother, I'm sorry for you!" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yicai knelt down in front of Zhang Xinghan with a plop.  Zhang Xinghan hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said confusedly: "Yicai, what are you doing?" "Tongliao is besieged and Xinghua is in danger. It is my dereliction of duty. I should not have arranged for him to go to Tongliao." Wang Yicai choked with sobs.  road.  Zhang Xinghan helped him up, patted his shoulder and said: "Yicai, we are all brothers. Your intention in sending Xinghua to Tongliao is good. I understand all of this. If anything happens to Xinghua, then  It’s okay. If we join the army, we will have one foot in the coffin if we don’t leave? He died for the country. He should have understood it since he put on this military uniform.” Wang Yicai burst into tears and said anxiously.  Brother, I will personally help Tongliao. I have to rescue Xinghua no matter what." "No, I have sent the air force and Sabli's cavalry regiment and armored company to reinforce.  They all rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. We must not draw any more troops from Shenyang, otherwise Shenyang may be in danger." Zhang Xinghan immediately rejected his request.  "Then what should we do now?" Wang Yicai asked eagerly.  "You go back first and help Mayor Zang continue to evacuate the people. I have my own arrangements to stop the Japanese army." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  Although Wang Yicai was a little reluctant, after seeing Zhang Xinghan's unquestionable eyes, he still nodded and left.  After watching Wang Yicai leave, Zhang Xinghan shouted to the door: "Yizhi!" "Yes!" Shen Xingye entered in response.  "Pass my order, the first regiment, the second regiment, and the brigade headquarters are directly under the guard battalion, and the artillery battalion will assemble immediately. The first regiment, the artillery battalion will be stationed in Sujiatun, and make all battle preparations." Zhang Xinghan ordered quickly to cut through the mess.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye agreed loudly, saluted, turned around and left as ordered.  ………………………………… Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  A Japanese communications soldier handed a message he had just received to headquarters staff officer Ishihara Kanji.  Ishihara Wanji took the telegram and read it hastily. He was immediately happy and went straight to the war room with the telegram in hand.  In the war room, Itagaki Seishiro was ordered to discuss the battle plan with Nanjiro.  Seeing Ishihara's happy face, Nanjiro asked: "Ishihara-kun, why are you so happy?" "Your Excellency General, our opportunity has come. The Special High School Agents just reported that the police stationed in Sujiatun  The Northeastern Army's cavalry and the armored combat vehicle unit that caused the Imperial Army a lot of trouble suddenly left Sujiatun yesterday and rushed quickly towards Tongliao. Also, not long ago, the Chinese Air Force at Beiling Airport.  Dozens of them also took off and flew towards Tongliao. "Oh?" Nanjiro asked in confusion.  "Could it be that Zhang Haipeng's attack was effective?" Itagaki Seishiro, who was standing beside him, said with his eyes bright.  "It should be. Counting the time, Zhang Haipeng's troops should have passed Tongliao." Ishihara smiled and nodded.  "Youxi, the opportunity has come."Seishiro excitedly turned to Nanjiro and said: "Your Excellency General, now all the Chinese air force, cavalry, and armored forces in Shenyang City have been transferred south. Our opportunity to capture Shenyang has come. Please give the order to take action as soon as possible." "Yes.  " Nan Jiro nodded, and immediately told Ishihara Wanji: "Naiden, the 2nd Division, the 20th Division, and all the aviation units at Zhishan headquarters will attack Shenyang immediately. The aviation units must grasp the time of attack.  , cooperate with the ground troops to fight, and strive to provide timely and accurate air support for the ground offensive troops. "Hai!" Ishihara Wanji also said excitedly and suddenly lowered his head, turned around and took the order.  After Ishihara left, Nanjiro said to Itagaki Seishiro: "Itagaki-kun, your investigation team should go to the front line immediately and supervise the Yuzhishan headquarters for me." "Hai, I will leave immediately."   ……………………Beiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Zhang Xinghan’s move to evacuate Shenyang naturally could not be hidden from Zhang Xiaoliu.  At this moment, he was scolding his mother in the office, especially after receiving a report from a hidden agent. Zhang Xinghan was sent to raid his Marshal Zhang’s home in Shenyang yesterday.  In Zhang Xiaoliu’s opinion, this is simply a fucking rebellion.  "Young Marshal, according to the latest news from my humble position, the advance team sent by Zhang Xinghan was besieged by the rebel Zhang Haipeng. At present, Zhang Xinghan has dispatched a tank and chariot company, a Sabli cavalry regiment and a large number of aircraft to Tongliao for reinforcements.  Got it." In the office, Chief of Staff Rong Zhen, who came to report to Zhang Xueliang, reported carefully.  "You deserve it. Zhang Xinghan, that bastard, ransacked my Zhang Hanqing's house, and even tried to evacuate Shenyang to Tongliao to support his own troops. He simply didn't care about life and death." Zhang Xueliang cursed angrily: "There is also this old man Zhang Mazi.  An old man with gray hair, he dared to rebel and join the Japanese army in vain! "Young Commander, please calm down, what should we do now?"  Zhen asked tentatively: "For example, when the Kwantung Army is preparing to fight the Shenyang garrison again, we will make preparations in advance. After they have both suffered losses, we will take advantage of the situation and send troops to reap the benefits and recapture Shenyang and other lost lands." Marshal Zhang was not without frustration.  He shook his head and said: "No, as far as I know, Japan has begun large-scale war mobilization in the country, and Nanjing is also seeking compromise and seeking an armistice and peace. At this juncture, whoever resists is a challenge.  The war started, so we have no chance to send troops. " "Oh, so we just sit back and watch?" Rong Zhen was also a little disappointed.  Zhang Xueliang nodded silently without speaking, as if he felt sad again that he was about to completely lose his roots in the three eastern provinces.  ………………………Nanjing, official residence of the leader.  In addition to being busy launching another offensive against the Red Army, Principal Jiang is also always paying attention to the situation in the Northeast.  "Principal, according to the latest information from our agents, there seems to be a new change in the Northeast War situation. First of all, Taoliao garrison envoy Zhang Haipeng and Dongbian Dao garrison envoy Yu Zhishan have confirmed that they have surrendered to the enemy and treason. And Zhang Xinghan has not fully obeyed you, principal.  "We ordered to blow up all industrial bases and lead our troops to evacuate Shenyang," Wang Shihe said.  "What? Didn't you follow it completely? What do you mean? Duke Jiang looked at his captain of the bodyguard in confusion and asked: "Zhang Xinghan is still unwilling to retreat?  " "No, he agreed to retreat, but it was not a simple military retreat. According to intelligence, he was urgently evacuating and mobilizing the people of Shenyang to evacuate. In addition, he seemed to be planning to evacuate all the machinery and equipment from the Shenyang Arsenal and other factories.  and take away.  "Wang Shihe explained. "Stupid.  "After hearing this, Principal Jiang couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, Zhang Xinghan is so smart that he was confused for a moment. A Shenyang city can earn hundreds of thousands, right?  There are so many machines and equipment. Is it possible for him to move them all?  Will Japan sit back and watch his successful evacuation?  Furthermore, where can he retreat with so many burdens?  " "That's right. It's hard to explain why he is so humble. Logically speaking, Zhang Xinghan shouldn't have thought of him, but why did he do this?  "Wang Shihe asked himself in confusion. "Forget it, no matter what this bastard wants, you will immediately send a telegram to the garrison brigade, asking Zhang Xinghan to lead the garrison brigade to evacuate as soon as possible. As for the citizens, factory equipment and equipment,  , If you can’t bring it, don’t bring it.  Tell him clearly that as long as he can return to the pass alive, as long as he is willing, I can add a brigade, no, a division to him at any time.  "Principal Jiang waved his hand and solemnly ordered. Wang Shihe was awe-inspiring. Since he came with the principal, he has never seen the principal treat anyone.Have valued it so much.  ??……………Tongliao Town, it was evening and the sun was setting in the west.  Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua led their troops to resist desperately, and have repelled no less than ten attacks by the puppet troops.  Due to terrain restrictions, Zhang Haipeng’s cavalry advantage could not be brought into play. In terms of weapons and equipment, the puppet cavalry were equipped with Type 79 carbines.  Of course, it cannot be compared with the advance team equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns and a large number of mg34 general-purpose machine guns.  Even so, after nearly half of the bloody battle, the advance team still suffered heavy casualties, after all, many elephants were killed by ants.  Although the advance team has advanced weapons and equipment, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.  From the fierce fighting in Baiyao to the evening, the more than one hundred military police, police and militiamen who had been recruited earlier were all dead and dispersed.  Now even engineers and technical workers are forced to pick up guns and join the fight.  The situation is extremely critical.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 98: Fierce fighting breaks out

    However, at this moment, a deafening roar of an engine suddenly came from the sky.  Both sides who were fighting fiercely couldn't help but look up at Yao.  The advance team members, including Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua, were excited, and some soldiers even cheered with emotion: "The Air Force is our Air Force fighter plane." But the disaster of the puppet army as the attacker came, and before they could recover, they  Come, fighter planes emerged from the clouds and swooped towards them.  Immediately afterwards, dense metal bullets poured down like rain.  The charging puppet cavalry were shot one after another and fell into a pool of blood.  Zhang Haipeng, who was responsible for commanding the troops to attack from a distance, stood on the spot with shock on his face.  It wasn’t until bombers started dive bombing that the violent explosions brought him back to reality.  Seeing his subordinates who suffered heavy casualties and were fleeing like birds and beasts, Zhang Haipeng began to roar angrily: "Quick, give me the order to retreat immediately, retreat, stop attacking!" After several days of forced march, plus a fierce attack for most of the day,  , failed to succeed, Zhang Haipeng's puppet army was already exhausted and could not continue.  When they were hit by a sudden and devastating air strike, the puppet troops, who were already at the critical point of collapse, suddenly collapsed.  Due to insufficient troops, Liu Zhenhu did not order a pursuit. He knew very well that if he wanted to hold on to his limited troops until reinforcements arrived, he must rely on his superior firepower and the support of the air force to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.  If he leaves the house fortifications and if the air force retreats, the rebels, who are all cavalry, can easily turn defeat into victory and cut him into pieces.  When night fell, the air force fighters of the garrison brigade had to return to stop bombing and sweeping.  The exhausted puppet troops, which had suffered heavy losses, did not launch another attack.  Tongliao Town gained a brief period of peace.  Under the dark night sky, Tongliao Town, which has almost turned into ruins, looks a little lonely.  Behind a house in the town, company commander Liu Zhenhu was leaning against the wall and breathing heavily. His hands were trembling as he smoked a cigarette and took out a match to light it.  Liu Zhenhu took two strong puffs and felt the intense stimulation caused by the smoke churning violently in his lungs. Liu Zhenhu closed his eyes comfortably.  Suddenly, there was a slight noise not far away. Liu Zhenhu suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed an MP18 submachine gun and shouted: "Who?" "Company commander, it's me." Zhang Xinghua's voice was a little hoarse.  Liu Zhenhu put down his gun and continued to smoke.  "Company Commander, let's have something to eat." Zhang Xinghua held a green onion and two steamed buns in his hand.  "I'm not hungry, you can eat." Liu Zhenhu continued to smoke and had no intention of picking up the steamed buns and green onions.  Without much persuasion, Zhang Xinghua came over and sat side by side with Liu Zhenhu, leaning against the wall and looking up at the night sky.  Zhang Xinghua suddenly said: "Company Commander, give me a cigarette." Liu Zhenhu glanced at him in surprise, took out the cigarette case and handed it to him.  Zhang Xinghua took one out and borrowed half of Liu Zhenhu's cigarette to use as a fire. He took a decent puff and couldn't help but cough.  "If you don't know how to smoke, don't smoke. Smoking too much of this stuff is bad for your health." Liu Zhenhu said in a cold tone.  Zhang Xinghua did not answer him, but suddenly turned his head and looked at him and asked seriously: "Company commander, do you think we can survive this time?" Liu Zhenhu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said firmly: "Yes,  As long as you believe there is, we will be able to survive this hardship and persist until the reinforcements arrive." Looking at Liu Zhenhu's firm eyes, Zhang Xinghua nodded dullly.  Suddenly, a harsh gunshot broke the tranquility of the night and woke up many advance team members who were sleeping in the fortifications.  Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua were very familiar with this gunshot, because they clearly heard it was the gunshot of the Garand rifle.  At this time, gunshots suddenly rang out, and the only possibility was that the enemy was attacking.  Liu Zhenhu responded to the situation and grabbed the MP18 submachine gun he had thrown aside again, and shouted loudly: "What's going on?" At this time, gunshots began to sound in front of him.  The guard who fired the gun pulled the trigger several times in succession. After knocking down the two puppet soldiers, he lowered his head and shouted to the back at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is attacking at night! Attack at night!" "Send flares and prepare to fight.  !" Liu Zhenhu pulled the bolt of the submachine gun and shouted angrily.  "Qiuqiuqiu" three illumination bombs were launched into the air one after another, immediately illuminating the front of the advance team's position like daylight.  &nbsp; With the light of the flares, Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua clearly saw the puppet troops who came to attack them. They were a large area of ??darkness, hundreds of them in total.  Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen mg34 general-purpose machine guns opened fire first, and a round of dazzling flares guided the dense rain of machine gun bullets toward the puppet troops' heads like a meteor.  Under the illumination of the flares, the lurking puppet cavalry was obviously helpless and helpless, and was knocked down in pieces by the sudden general-purpose machine gun fire.  It wasn’t until dozens of troops were lost that the remaining puppet cavalry lay down and hid as if they had just woken up from a dream.  "Commander Zhang has an order. If you kill someone, you will be rewarded with three yuan. If you take Tongliao, you will be rewarded with three thousand yuan. Come on, brothers!" A puppet battalion commander waved his saber and howled at the top of his lungs like a pig.  "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. This sentence is absolutely applicable to any era and any battlefield."  I saw hundreds of puppet troops getting up again and charging forward bravely despite the heavy rain of bullets and bullets.  Some even lay on the ground and crawled forward.  "Brothers, hit me hard. As long as we hold on until dawn, reinforcements will arrive, and our air force will be able to provide air support. By then, these rebels will be damned dead. Hit!"  Liu Zhenhu fired his submachine gun and roared fiercely.  Zhang Xinghua took a Garand rifle and hid on the other side of the wall and opened fire, echoing Liu Zhenhu from afar.  At this time, his marksmanship has improved greatly, and he can basically hit a target every two or three shots he fires.  "Mortar, give me those heavy machine guns." Liu Zhenhu discovered several heavy machine guns of the puppet army forming a crossfire while changing the magazine, trying to suppress and counterattack the defenders, and immediately turned around and shouted.  Soon, the three 60mm mortars all turned their muzzles and aimed at several heavy machine guns of the puppet army.  “Boom, boom…” After a few muffled sounds, three 60mm grenades came out of the chamber one after another, roaring towards the puppet army’s heavy machine gun position.  "Boom, boom, boom!" Loud noises sounded one after another, and fire flashed. One of the three shells hit, directly blowing up a heavy machine gun. Three puppet army machine gunners and ammunition handlers were also bombed.  His flesh and blood were bloody and he died on the spot.  With the first round of test fire, the artillerymen's second round of bombardment was much more accurate. All three shots hit, and the red light bloomed into the sky like fireworks, dazzling.  Without the cover of heavy machine gun fire, the charge of the puppet infantry seemed to have no impact.  Under the crossfire net of terrifying rapid fire from more than a dozen mg34 general-purpose machine guns, the charging puppet troops fell one after another like harvested wheat.  A few surviving puppet soldiers who escaped the net were also killed by crossfire composed of Garand rifles and submachine guns.  The fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, and four-fifths of the more than 500 puppet troops who came to attack were killed or wounded. In the end, they had to evacuate hastily due to excessive casualties. The night attack ended in complete failure.  Outside Tongliao Town, inside the temporary headquarters of the puppet army.  Zhang Haipeng, who was waiting anxiously, heard the gunfire gradually stop in the town, and asked the adjutant in confusion: "What's going on? Why did the gunfire stop?" Without an answer from the adjutant, a captain officer ran into the command center covered in blood.  Inside the tent.  Seeing Zhang Haipeng, the captain officer burst into tears: "Commander, the night attack failed. We lost more than four hundred brothers." "What?" Zhang Haipeng did not expect that he was determined to win a blow unexpectedly, but he still ended in failure.  .  Looking at the bloody captain officer, he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Idiots, a bunch of losers, no matter how hard they fight, they can only survive with one or two hundred people. Bai Yao has planes to assist in the battle and can't win, so forget it. At night  "Commander, it's not that the brothers are incompetent, it's because the defenders have too much firepower. Almost all of them are equipped with automatic firepower and artillery."  "The brothers charged forward risking their lives, but they couldn't charge forward at all. Even our battalion commander was beaten to a pulp by machine gun bullets," the captain exclaimed immediately.  "Okay, you go down first, I understand." Zhang Haipeng waved his hand impatiently, and immediately said to the adjutant: "Add more troops and keep an eye on Tongliao Town and Shenyang in case reinforcements are sent from Shenyang.  I'll take a nap first. I'm damn old after all. After riding a horse for a long time, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart. I won't be the same again after all." "Yes," the adjutant lowered his head and turned around to walk out.  ………………………Shenyang, Sujiatun.  The first regiment and artillery battalion have been stationed in Sujiatun and have completed all battle preparations.  In order to prepare for the coming battle, Zhang Xinghan served as an artilleryman.It is equipped with hundreds of tons of poison gas bombs and thousands of tons of incendiary bombs.  All officers and soldiers of the first regiment and artillery battalion have been issued gas masks, and everything is ready, just waiting for the Japanese army to attack.  In the trenches at the forefront of Sujiatun, Niu Erzhu, who has been promoted to captain of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 1st Regiment, is not asleep at the moment, but is patrolling the trenches with fully armed guards.  In the trenches, there were soldiers lying on the ground and falling asleep everywhere. Niu Erzhu did not wake them up. Wherever he went, he only asked the remaining vigilance sentries to provide vigilance.  When he inspected the company positions and was about to return to the company headquarters, suddenly a guard sentry not far away shouted: "Who?" The sentry was answered by a gunshot, a unique sound of a Type 79 rifle.  Gunfire rang out.  The sentry lowered his head and hid in the trench, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" As soon as the gunfire rang out, the entire regiment of officers and soldiers in Sujiatun were awakened.  In response, everyone picked up their guns and stood up.  Niu Erzhu immediately shouted: "Don't panic, the artillery will fire flares immediately, and the rest will be ready for battle."

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 99: Fierce Fighting at Night

    At the same time as Niu Erzhu gave the order, Yu Zhishan's subordinate Jiang Quanwo, who was responsible for commanding the night attack, saw his whereabouts exposed and couldn't help but cursed: "What the hell, what's the food to eat? Give it to me. Let's take down Sujiatun in one go."  !” About two thousand puppet troops suddenly swarmed forward and charged towards Sujiatun.  At this moment, several 60-mm mortars from a company suddenly fired, firing illumination bombs into the night sky in front of the position.  The other two companies of the third battalion responsible for frontal defense also followed suit. For a while, the aerial flares were competing to emit bright and dazzling light like fireworks.  Wherever the hot and dazzling white light went, the night suddenly dissipated without a trace. Looking up, it was as bright as day within a thousand meters.  The figures of large groups of puppet troops are clearly visible.  Without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, each company of the three battalions opened fire with light and heavy weapons.  In an instant, criss-crossing bullets enveloped the puppet army like fire snakes.  The bullets whizzed back and forth, looking particularly dazzling in the dark night.  The charging puppet troops continued to be shot and fell down. Under such fierce firepower from the garrison brigade, even the well-trained Japanese Kwantung Army could not avoid suffering heavy casualties.  Not to mention these puppet troops adapted from bandits and local hooligans. As soon as they exchanged fire, they were blinded by the fierce firepower of the defenders.  Especially the power unleashed by the mg34 machine gun group was something they had never heard of or seen before. What kind of machine gun could fire so fast?  Soon, the popping and popping sound of the chainsaw unique to the mg34 general machine gun became a nightmare in the ears of the puppet soldiers.  Once this dull sound of popping is heard, the puppet troops will fall in droves.  In Shenyang City, the gunshots from Sujiatun had already alarmed Zhang Xinghan.  In the communications room of the brigade headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was on the phone with Liu Jianguo, the commander of the first regiment.  "Brigade, the ones who came to attack were not Japanese troops, but puppet troops. Damn it, these bastards are so excited that they are really emboldened by their ambitions." Liu Jianguo reported loudly on the other end of the phone.  "Jianguo, don't be careless. These puppet troops must be used by the Japanese as cannon fodder to consume us. Our real enemy is coming from behind. Don't use poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs for the time being. Let the artillery battalion use conventional artillery shells to repel the puppet troops first."  Say it again." Zhang Xinghan said while holding the microphone.  "Yes!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinghan said to himself: "It seems that it is true that Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. This little devil's trick is quite dangerous." Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Su Hanyun beside him suddenly  He took off his earphones, occupied them, and saluted him: "My seat, a call from Nanjing." With that, he handed the message to Zhang Xinghan with both hands. Zhang Xinghan took the message, opened it, looked at it, thought for a moment, and immediately said to Su Hanyun: "Give it to me immediately.  When Nanjing called back, he said that our garrison brigade would never abandon the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City and evacuate alone. If the Shenyang people did not evacuate Qianjing within a day, the garrison brigade would hold on for a day until everyone in the capital was safely evacuated. "…  ………………Sujiatun, Jiang Quan’s attack has been repelled by the third battalion of the first regiment of the garrison brigade and the artillery battalion.  In this battle, one of Jiang Quan's regiments lost a total of three hundred troops in less than an hour.  Such a speed of battle damage has never been encountered by Jiang Quan and me.  So, when dozens of 105mm howitzers from the artillery battalion directly under the garrison suddenly opened fire, causing heavy casualties to his attacking troops.  Jiang Quan and I decisively chose to retreat.  However, before Jiang Quanwo could lead the remaining troops to retreat far, they encountered the main force of the 20th Division head-on.  Without even a chance to take a breath, Jiang Quan and I were forced with bayonets by the princes of the 20th Division, whom he respected as their ancestors, and rushed towards Sujiatun again.  In order to prevent Jiang Quan's troops from not attacking with all their strength and retreating again, the 20th Division Commander's Office Kanetsi sent a heavy machine gun brigade to supervise the battle.  "We also ordered that if any of Jiang Quan's soldiers disobeyed the order and retreated without permission, they would all be shot."  Under such circumstances, one of Jiang Quan's regiments bravely charged, and was eventually annihilated by the first regiment and the artillery battalion.  In the temporary headquarters of the 20th Division, Colonel Mori Goroku, who was the chief of staff of the division at the time, walked quickly, stood up and saluted Muro Kanji: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Jiang Quan and our entire army have been wiped out."  "Yo Xi, it's time to attack. Order the artillery to fire immediately. The 77th Infantry Regiment will be the main attack. The 78th Infantry Regiment will coordinate with the 77th Infantry Regiment to attack! The Cavalry Regiment will guard the headquarters of the division." Muro Kaneji nodded happily.  , ordered.  As mentioned before, in the last Shenyang defense battle, the 20th Division and the 2nd Division had much less losses than the 6th Division due to their timely evacuation.  &nbspAmong them, the artillery regiment directly under the 20th Division survived because of its timely evacuation.  Because before entering Liaoning, the 20th Division divided into two divisions to conduct a diversionary strategic attack on Heilongjiang.  Therefore, the 20th Division at this time actually only had more than half the strength of the division.  The first to receive the order was the field artillery regiment of the 20th Division. After the 77th Infantry Regiment received the order to attack, the artillery fire began to extend.  The captain of the 77th Regiment immediately dispatched a reinforced team with more than 70 soldiers to launch a tentative attack on the Sujiatun Third Battalion position under the cover of night.  On the forward position of the Third Battalion, Niu Erzhu spit out a mouthful of mud-filled phlegm and crawled out of the bunker.  "Brothers, the Japanese have finished swinging their three-axe, prepare to fight!" Niu Erzhu's shout rang out, and soon the officers and soldiers of the company who were lying in the trench to avoid the Japanese bombardment stood up one after another.  Of course, some people were unfortunately hit by the raging shrapnel and could never stand up.  The general machine guns were set up again, and the black muzzles of submachine guns and Garand rifles were aimed at the front.  At the same time, the third camp pointed inward.  Liu Jianguo immediately ordered to the commander of the third battalion: "Send the illumination bombs immediately. The Japs should start their attack after the bombardment." A round of illumination bombs roared into the sky one after another, blooming with dazzling white light.  Under the illumination of flares, the whereabouts of more than seventy Japanese were immediately exposed.  The Japs second lieutenant who was leading the team did not hesitate when he saw his whereabouts exposed. He immediately drew his command knife and said, "Kill Gaga!" More than seventy Japs quickly ended their covert engagement with the enemy and changed to walking in a zigzag line to charge quickly.  stand up.  Liu Jianguo held up his binoculars to see this scene in his eyes, and said with a sneer: "The Japs are still doing the same damn thing." He ordered the frontline troops to get closer to them before attacking. This probing offensive force of the Japs must be wiped out.  "Company commander, the regiment has an order, bring this group of enemies closer before attacking, and be sure to wipe them all out!" In the front trench, a communications soldier ran over along the trench with his waist bent.  "Got it." Niu Erzhu responded and replaced the submachine gun in his hand with a new magazine.  Turning his head to look at the approaching Japanese soldiers in front, he issued an order: "Let the enemy come within a hundred meters before attacking." At the same time, Yu Zhishan's two infantry regiments and  A cavalry regiment also rushed to the east bank of the South Canal in the eastern suburbs of Shenyang.  Also arriving with them was the Kawamoto Special Forces team that successfully carried out a raid on Dongta Airport last time.  In a forest on the east coast, Colonel Shiro Kawamoto summoned two infantry regiment commanders, Liao Bichen and Tian Desheng, as well as the cavalry regiment commander Cao Bingsen, and was arranging combat tasks for them around the combat map.  Colonel Kawamoto held a flashlight in his right hand, pointed at the combat target that had been marked on the map and said: "Liao Sang, Tian Sang, the main task of your two infantry regiments is to force the crossing from Niujiatun and seize the opportunity for the main force of the imperial army on the other side.  At the landing site, Cao Sang and your cavalry regiment are responsible for covering and coordinating Liao Sang and Tian Sang. Once Liao Sang and Tian Sang's troops successfully cross the river, your troops should quickly find a way to cross the river, and then immediately launch a surprise attack on Beiling Airport. " " Liao Bichen and Tian Desheng.  Sanru nodded after hearing this, and said eagerly: "Kawamoto Taijun, please rest assured, we will go all out to capture Shenyang City for the imperial army!" "Youxi, when we capture Shenyang City,  I will ask for rewards from the headquarters for you." Kawamoto Shiro nodded happily and patted Sanru's shoulder: "Let's go." Watching Sanru leading the team away, Kawamoto Shiro waved his hand behind him.  The adjutant ran over immediately.  "Sir, please give me instructions." "Give me the order. The entire Kawamoto Special Forces team will immediately advance to Dongshanzuizi, cross Dongshan, and target Beiling Airport for a surprise attack!" Shiro Kawamoto ordered in a cold tone.  "Hai!" The adjutant lowered his head suddenly, and soon disappeared into the night with hundreds of commandos.  Kawamoto Shiro looked at the direction of Sujiatun where the flames were blazing, with a cruel sneer on his lips, and then turned around and led the guards to chase the large army.  ??………Sujiatun frontier battlefield.  More than seventy Japanese soldiers rushed to within a hundred meters of the defenders at the fastest speed, even though they knew their whereabouts had been exposed.  They have no choice, because their mission is to induce the defenders to fire, exposing them in advance and providing opportunities for the artillery troops to carry out sweeping strikes.  To put it bluntly, they came here just to risk their death.  Therefore, even if flares are emitted from time to time in the front defenders' positions, they are still??There is nothing to hide in the night.  They had no choice but to charge with all their might.  "Click, click, click" The MP18 submachine gun in Niu Erzhu's hand took the lead with a short shot, knocking down a Japanese soldier immediately.  The sound of gunfire was an order. The officers and soldiers of the company who had been preparing for a long time opened fire one after another. Hundreds of Garand rifles, flower machine guns and more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns opened fire at the same time. Hot tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzles of the guns, dense  Bullets immediately enveloped more than seventy Japanese soldiers.  At a distance of one hundred and ten meters, even if the Japanese soldiers lined up in a skirmishing line, it would be of no avail.  A company of more than a dozen mg34 general-purpose machine guns poured out ammunition at a terrifying speed of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, and dense bullets were shot out in a fan shape.  The Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another.  ps: I slept for two hours at noon. From yesterday to now, I have updated three VIP chapters with 9,000 words, one chapter for the public version and one chapter for the launch, more than 6,000 words, and a total of more than 16,000 words have been coded.  , there are two more updates in the evening.  Qiu Feng once again begs for monthly support from brothers. This month I will do my best to update the code and ask for the firepower support of the Tiger Soldiers!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 100: Poison Gas Defense

    "Baga, damn it!" In the trench of the attack position of the 77th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.  The captain of the 77th Infantry Regiment, who had been holding a telescope to observe the battle situation with the help of flares, suddenly put down the telescope angrily and slammed his right fist on the bunker.  It turns out that the reinforcement team he sent was completely wiped out in the fierce battle just now.  From the exchange of fire between the two sides to the complete annihilation of the forward team, it took less than half an hour.  Out of embarrassment, the captain of the 77th Infantry Regiment immediately requested artillery retaliation from the division headquarters.  In fact, the annihilation of the forward team of the 77th Infantry Regiment is not without value.  Detectors from the field artillery wing directly under the division have secretly marked down the garrison's light and heavy firepower points one by one.  “About ten minutes later, the Japanese’s vindictive bombardment came as promised, with dozens of 75mm field guns firing one after another.  "Compared with the previous bombardment, the 20th Division's bombardment this time was more targeted and targeted.  ??A round of artillery shells fell on the ring fortifications of the third battalion, and a violent explosion occurred.  The first company at the forefront was the focus of the Japanese artillery fire. Fortunately, Niu Erzhu had already ordered the machine gunner to move his position and hide in the anti-gun hole.  The bombardment only lasted about ten minutes. The captain of the 77th Infantry Regiment waved his command knife forward: "Kill Gaga!" Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the trenches with rifles and formally launched an attack on Sujiatun.  .  Pointing in front of the third battalion, Liu Jianguo put down his telescope and said: "Order all companies and platoons to put on gas masks immediately. The artillery battalion will fire in three minutes!" Liu Jianguo's order was quickly conveyed to all companies and platoons of the third battalion, including Niu Erzhu's first company.  Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the third battalion put on the gas masks they carried with them.  Almost as soon as Niu Erzhu and the others put on their gas masks, the artillery battalion, which had been waiting for a long time, started shelling.  "Boom, boom, boom" The muffled sound of artillery being ejected came one after another, and poisonous gas bombs pierced the night sky and flew towards the front of the third battalion's position.  "俅俅俅" The attacking Japanese soldiers thought it was a conventional shelling and quickly lay down to avoid it.  However, when the "cannonballs" landed one after another, they were shocked to find that these "cannonballs" did not explode, but began to make a squeaking sound.  When they knew that illumination bombs were being launched into the sky, they suddenly discovered that the shells were emitting bursts of reddish-brown smoke.  Some Japanese soldiers suddenly screamed: "Poison gas, this is a poison gas bomb" The poisonous gas soon spread, covering hundreds of Japanese soldiers.  Soon after the Japanese entered the group, there were violent coughs, miserable groans and calls for help.  On the position of the third battalion, the officers and soldiers were looking at the Japanese troops who were in agony and covered with poisonous gas with expressionless expressions.  "Old squad leader, you saw it above, these haggis are all fucking dead now. My brothers and I have avenged you and those comrades who sacrificed their lives." Niu Erzhu, the commander of the company, was breathing heavily while wearing a gas mask.  He quickly looked up at the night sky and said in a deep voice.  The 77th Regiment on the opposite side is in the attack position.  The captain of the 77th Regiment was even more stunned, with his triangular eyes wide open, knowing that almost all of his hundreds of subordinates had fallen down, and none of them could stand up and run for help.  He roared madly for a few seconds: "Baga Ya Road, this, this is impossible, despicable and hateful China!" The 20th Division Temporary Headquarters.  Chief of Staff Mori Goroku came in in a panic, and said without a chance to salute: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what's wrong, China suddenly used a large number of poison gas bombs on our attacking troops. The 77th Infantry Regiment was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The attack  "Failed." "The Shenyang garrison is cunning and despicable on Bagaya Road. It has repeatedly used poison gas bombs against the imperial army. Immediately order the baggage regiment to issue gas masks to the officers and soldiers of the 77th and 78th regiments. Hurry up!"  He ordered angrily.  "Hai!" Sen Wuliu suddenly lowered his head and responded, quickly taking the order and leaving.  …………… While the attack of the 20th Division was frustrated, the two infantry regiments of Yu Zhishan, Liao Bichen and Tian Desheng, also exchanged fire with the Second Regiment of the garrison brigade.  Since the Dongta Airport was destroyed in the attack, Zhang Xinghan not only strengthened the defense forces at Beiling Airport, but also strengthened the defense forces along the South Canal in order to avoid repeating the same mistake.  The First Battalion of the Second Regiment stationed at the 1st site of the original Dongta Airport in the afternoon, and deployed two companies of troops along the west bank of the South Canal, especially across Niujiatun, to protect the safety of the east gate of Shenyang.  When the Second Regiment of Liao Bichen and Tian Desheng rushed to Niujiatun to force the crossing, a company of the Second Regiment guarding the west bank immediately opened fire, and the two sides started to fight.Fierce fighting.  The two regiments, Liao Bichen and Tian Desheng, originally belonged to the battle order of the Provincial Defense Force, and were second-line troops in the Northeast. Their weapons and equipment were not inferior to those of the first-line border defense troops such as Wang Yizhe's Duli 7th Brigade.  The quality of its soldiers is mainly ruffians, old, weak, sick and disabled.  Therefore, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, and the results of the forced crossing in the absence of heavy weapons for effective suppression can be imagined.  The officers and soldiers of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Garrison Brigade used general-purpose machine guns to build a crossfire network, killing the puppet troops who forcibly crossed the river in droves.  Due to the terrifying speed of the mg34 general machine gun, it has extremely deterrent destructive power. The dense rain of bullets even broke the small sampans and rubber boats on which the puppet soldiers were riding into two pieces and fragments.  The entire South Canal was suddenly covered with floating corpses, and the river water was almost stained red with blood.  Inside the temporary command post of the puppet army in Niujiatun.  Liao Bichen, Tian Desheng and Cao Bingsen were gathering together with sad faces and sighing.  "Commander Tian, ??Commander Cao, why is this garrison brigade so damn powerful? I don't think even Japan can keep up with that machine gun firepower, right?" Liao Bichen couldn't sit still and stood up.  Tian Desheng glanced at Liao Bichen angrily and said: "You ask me, I'm asking who is going. Less than one squad of the two companies that attacked me just now swam back by luck, and the rest were all sacrificed." "This.  It is reasonable for the garrison brigade to be so powerful, otherwise how could it defeat the Japanese twice?" said Cao Bingsen, commander of the cavalry regiment.  "Together, the three of us, what should we do next? Are we looking for some artillery from Japan? Without artillery suppression, it is impossible for us to cross the river, let alone establish a defensive position on the west bank and open up a landing site.  ." Liao Bichen said.  "Yes, let's ask the Japanese for artillery. In this attack on Shenyang, the Japanese put us in front as cannon fodder, but they haven't moved yet. At least they have to give us a few cannons to support us." Tian Desheng nodded angrily.  echoed.  ……………Shenyang City, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had just had dinner and was listening to Signal Corps Su Hanyun's report on the latest battle conditions reported by each regiment and battalion.  "The Japanese and puppet troops attacking Sujiatun have been repelled by our regiment. No less than two thousand Japanese and puppet troops were killed in total. Our army suffered very few casualties. Sujiatun is as stable as a rock. However, the South Canal appeared in the direction of Niujiatun.  A large number of puppet troops tried to cross the river, but they were repelled by the First Battalion of our Second Regiment." After Su Hanyun reported, she closed the folder, saluted Zhang Xinghan, and turned to leave.  After Su Hanyun left, Zhang Xinghan came to the giant combat map, lit a cigarette, stared at the map and fell into deep thought.  After two losses in the Battle of Shenyang, the Kwantung Army was short of troops and used the puppet troops led by Yu Zhishan and Zhang Haipeng as cannon fodder, which was as expected.  However, many years of foreknowledge of danger told Zhang Xinghan that things did not seem to be that simple.  “It is basically impossible to break through the defense line of the garrison brigade from the front based on the current strength of the Kwantung Army and Yu Zhishan and other puppet troops.  The only thing that needs to be worried is the advance team in Tongliao, but as long as they can survive tonight, the Air Force will be able to provide them with absolute air fire support after dawn.  If we persist a little longer, Li Zhenyuan's armored company and Sabli's cavalry regiment will almost arrive.  In this way, the entire situation seems to be still under his control, Zhang Xinghan.  However, after two defeats in the Battle of Shenyang, it is impossible for the top commanders of the Kwantung Army not to see this.  Since they know the outcome, they still launch a frontal attack at any cost. Either the Kwantung Army is crazy, or there is only one possibility: they are carrying out some conspiracy.  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan began to sort out his own possible loopholes and weaknesses.  Finally, he set his sights on Beiling Airport. There is no doubt that the air force at Beiling Airport has become a strategic force that can influence the current occupation of Northeast China.  For the garrison brigade, as long as this air force remains, it will be invincible.  On the contrary, for the Japanese, this air force is their biggest threat to capture Shenyang and annihilate the garrison brigade.  Thinking back to the attack and destruction of Dongta Airport, Zhang Xinghan suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.  "Shen Yizhi." The ominous premonition in his heart became more and more serious, Zhang Xinghan immediately turned his head and shouted.  "Brigadier, what are your orders?" Shen Xingye, deputy battalion commander of the police battalion directly under the brigade headquarters, came in and stood up to salute.  "Assemble the first company and follow me to Beiling Airport immediately." Zhang Xinghan said, having already put out half of the cigarette that he had not finished smoking, and took outThe steel helmet and white gloves hanging on the wall are about to go outside.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye didn't ask any more questions, but quickly walked out and gathered the troops.  Beiling Airport is built 3.5 kilometers north of Shenyang City, with Dongshan Zuizi as a barrier to the east, and the airport gate faces the northwest of Shenyang City.  Since there are natural barriers such as Shenyang City and Dongshanzuizi, from the terrain point of view, if you want to attack Beiling Airport, it is only possible to attack Beiling Airport from the west of Shenyang City.  Before the September 18th Incident, Beidaying, the headquarters of Wang Yizhe’s 7th Brigade, was located southwest of Shenyang, so Beiling Airport was very safe.  But there are no absolutes. From a general military perspective, Beiling Airport is indeed impeccable.  In order to imitate the attack on Dongta Airport and destroy Beiling Airport, Kawamoto Shiro spent sleepless days and began to study how to attack and destroy Beiling Airport in the past few days.  To achieve great military exploits for the Japanese Empire again, I have to say that Kawamoto Shiro is still very adventurous and creative.  After carefully studying the geographical environment around Shenyang and Beiling Airport, he decided to personally lead a special force team to risk crossing Dongshanzuizi to surprise Beiling Airport.  It is precisely because of this that he received approval to rush to Shenyang with the puppet troops under Yu Zhishan's command, and use them to launch a main frontal attack to attract the attention of the garrison brigade and provide cover for his surprise attack.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 101: Complete Annihilation of the Sichuan Special Forces

    On the top of Dongshan Zuizi Mountain, Shiro Kawamoto and his more than 300 special forces finally reached the last cliff behind Beiling Airport after many difficulties. As long as they got down to the lower cliff, they could launch an unexpected attack on Beiling Airport.  .  However, at this time Kawamoto Shiro and his subordinates fell into hesitation.  Dongshanzuizi is not high in altitude, but it is very steep, especially in the direction leading to Beiling Airport.  The mountain is vertically up to tens of meters high. It is basically impossible for regular visitors to climb up these tens of meters of steep cliffs or to land safely from above.  Even Zhang Xinghan, if he had made adequate preparations in advance, he would have been able to slide down the cliff safely at most.  But if you want to climb this steep and smooth cliff that is tens of meters high, it is absolutely impossible to rely on strength alone with the technical equipment of this era.  In other words, if Shiro Kawamoto and his special forces team choose to go down, they will be embarking on a road of no return. Only by defeating their opponents can they have a chance to fight their way out.  "Otherwise, they will become turtles in a urn, unable to escape."  This is also the reason why Kawamoto Shiro and his subordinates hesitated.  Looking at Beiling Airport, which was so close and within easy reach, Shiro Kawamoto finally gave up the idea of ??retreat, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Get ready to get off the cliff!" "Sir, this cliff is extremely steep and smooth. If you go down, you may never be able to come back up again.  "The adjutant reminded.  But Shiro Kawamoto stared at Beiling Airport in the distance and said coldly: "I know this, but this is exactly where our advantage lies. You all think so, and China must also think so. There is no possibility of enemy troops here, so  Our chance of success has increased by 10%. Send my order, and the combat teams will immediately prepare to go down the cliff, and then launch an unexpected attack on Beiling Airport. We will definitely succeed in the battle. By then, we will be the heroes of the Manchurian Incident and even the Yamato nation.  You are all honored!" "Hai!" The adjutant was so excited by what Shiro Kawamoto said that he immediately lowered his head and accepted the order.  Not long after, some Japanese soldiers began to prepare ropes and other items and began to descend the cliff one after another.  It was not until the first combat team successfully descended the cliff that Shiro Kawamoto grabbed a rope and personally led the team to slide down.  “About half an hour later, all the three hundred Japanese soldiers slipped down from the top of the cliff smoothly. Except for two Japanese soldiers who fell slightly injured due to loose ropes, no one was lost.  As Colonel Kawamoto expected, the garrison troops who were ordered to garrison the airport did not expect that there would be an enemy invasion on the cliff behind the airport.  Therefore, the main defense forces are deployed at the front of the airport, various hangars, and outside the ammunition depot.  At this critical moment, Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye took the Guard Company and arrived at Beiling Airport in a Guppy vehicle.  Airport guards had already informed Air Force Captain Gao Zhihang and others to come in. After receiving the news, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang came out to greet him.  The two sides had just met, and before they had time to exchange greetings, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from behind the airport, and a dazzling fire broke out.  "What's going on?" Gao Zhihang turned around and asked in shock.  Liu Cuigang shook his head.  Zhang Xinghan, who had just got off the Gup car, changed his face drastically. He immediately took an MP18 submachine gun from the guard beside him and shouted sternly: "Enemies are attacking, they are all here, come with me to meet the enemy!" How many locations are there at Beiling Airport?  Needless to say, it was important. Shen Xingye led a company of police guards and immediately followed Zhang Xinghan and ran quickly towards the sound of the gunfire.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang realized what they were doing, and immediately pulled out their guns and rushed forward with the garrison in front of the airport.  When Zhang Xinghan arrived at the battle site with reinforcements, Shiro Kawamoto had already blown open the airport wall and rushed in with more than 300 men.  A hangar is being stormed. Almost all the soldiers of a squad guarding the hangar have been sacrificed, and only two wounded soldiers are left hiding in the fortifications to resist tenaciously.  Zhang Xinghan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately led his guards to charge forward.  The flower mechanism in his hand pulled the trigger and swiped violently. Shen Xingye and more than a hundred security guards from the security company also opened fire.  The intensive firepower knocked down more than a dozen of the unprepared Japanese soldiers and successfully attracted their attention.  The Japs of the Kawamoto Special Forces were obviously different from ordinary Japs. After being attacked, they immediately dispersed and began to confront Zhang Xinghan and the others.  In the dark night, the two sides started a fierce exchange of fire at close range inside the airport.  However, as the fierce battle progressed, Zhang Xinghan was surprised to find that the Japanese troops who came to attack were also equipped with mg34 general-purpose machine guns and MP18 submachine guns.  Some special operations units of the Japanese ArmyThere is nothing strange about being equipped with fancy mechanisms. After all, these are all products of the First World War.  But the mg34 general-purpose machine gun is definitely the only one in China, and even in Asia, that owns the garrison.  Surprised, Zhang Xinghan immediately thought of the origin of this Japanese army.  "Brothers, they are the little devils who attacked me at Dongta Airport, killed me, and destroyed my fighter planes. Beat them hard and kill them all to avenge their dead brothers!" Zhang Xinghan pulled the trigger and fired a short shot.  , shouting at the top of his lungs.  "Brother Ziheng, send in the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons to me immediately." After shouting, Zhang Xinghan ordered Gao Zhihang who was shooting with a pistol.  "Yes, you should pay more attention to yourself." Gao Zhihang responded, and immediately under the cover of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Guards Company, he and Liu Cuigang crouched and quickly evacuated the battle.  "The success or failure of the warriors of the empire depends on this. The time to serve His Majesty the Yao Emperor has come, kill Gaga!" Kawamoto Shiro did not expect the airport garrison to respond so quickly. Seeing more and more reinforcements at the airport, he couldn't help but shout out his encouragement.  Although the garrison brigade has a slight advantage in firepower, the individual combat qualities are slightly inferior to those of the enemy elites opposite them.  For a time, the fierce battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate.  However, this stalemate only lasted less than half an hour, when Gao Zhihang led the pilots to assist the defenders in driving a truck to pull in more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and four 88mm anti-aircraft cannons.  The battle situation immediately changed. A dozen anti-aircraft machine guns with a caliber of 12.7mm and four 88mm anti-aircraft cannons opened fire one after another.  The densely packed high-power bullets instantly caused heavy casualties to the Kawamoto Special Forces team.  Wherever the scorching and dazzling tongues of fire touched, the Japanese soldiers fell immediately upon contact, and some were even cut off by extremely powerful bullets, turning into pieces of corpses and rotten flesh.  Seeing the garrison brigade using anti-shè machine guns and 88mm anti-shè cannons, Colonel Kawamoto suddenly showed fear in his eyes and shouted: "Hurry up and hide, hurry up!" The last time at Dongta Airport, Kawamoto Shiro and his subordinates all saw this kind of high-definition weapon.  The power of machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.  I also learned a trick, which is to place anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns flat and use them as direct-fire artillery and heavy machine guns.  But they never expected that they would encounter these terrifying weapons at Beiling Airport.  Seeing that the Japs were suppressed, Zhang Xinghan threw away the trap, turned around and jumped on a military truck, personally fired a high-altitude machine gun, and began to rain down metal bullets on the crazy people who were hiding in a hurry.  “About an hour later, Zhang Xinghan no longer remembers how many rounds of high-definition machine gun bullets he fired. He only knows that his feet are almost full of metal bullet casings.  In the past hour or so, more than 70% of the 300 incoming members of the Kawamoto Special Forces have been wiped out.  The remaining dozens of remnant soldiers, led by Shiro Kawamoto, fled in a panic towards the road they came from.  "Chase them, be sure to annihilate them all and prevent them from slipping through the net!" Zhang Xinghan stopped shooting and shouted sternly at the top of his voice.  Shen Xingye immediately led hundreds of guards and guards to chase after him.  Ten minutes later, Shen Xingye led a team to chase Shiro Kawamoto to the foot of the cliff.  In despair, Colonel Kawamoto brandished a knife and committed seppuku. The remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers were reduced to a bloody sieve by Shen Xingye and several machine gunners using general-purpose machine guns and flower traps.  At the same time, in the direction of Sujiatun.  Equipped with gas masks, the 20th Division sent the 78th Infantry Regiment to attack Sujiatun again.  However, before the attack force of the 78th Infantry Regiment approached the position of the third battalion of the garrison brigade.  The direct artillery battalion, which had been preparing for a long time, fired again. This time they fired no longer poison gas bombs, but solidified incendiary bombs.  "Boom, boom, boom" In a series of explosions, hot sparks flew everywhere, and soon the Japanese attackers were enveloped in a sea of ??fire.  Kanetsuji, the commander of the 20th Division, was furious when he saw that the attacking troops were in a sea of ??fire and the attack failed again.  However, he had no other choice but to angrily scold the garrison for being cunning and despicable.  The attacks of the two major armies ended in failure, and one of Jiang Quanwo's puppet legions was completely wiped out.  But the Sujiatun position of the garrison brigade remained motionless, as stable as Mount Tai.  With no choice but to report the results of the battle to the Kwantung Army headquarters, Muro Kaneji had no choice but to report the results of the battle.  …………… Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Ishihara Kanji hurriedly came to Nanjiro's bedroom with a telegraph in hand, knocked on the door violently and shouted: "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency," the door was opened suddenly, and Nanjiro walked through.Standing barefoot in pajamas in front of the door, he asked with a dark face and an unhappy tone: "Ishihara-kun, why are you so panicked?" "The 20th Division failed in both attacks and suffered heavy losses. Yu Zhishan's  One regiment has been wiped out, and the 20th Division is unable to attack again," Ishihara Wanji hurriedly opened a message and read.  "What? Didn't the report say that the cavalry and armored units of the garrison brigade were transferred to Tongliao? How could the 20th Division's attack be so unsatisfactory?" Nanjiro asked in confusion.  "China used poison gas bombs unscrupulously during the defensive battle. After the imperial army's offensive troops changed to gas masks, they switched to arson bombs, causing a large number of casualties to our offensive troops. As a result, the 20th Division's attack failed. At present,  There is no good way to eliminate the threat of poison gas and arson bombs in China, so it is meaningless for the 20th Division to attack again except Tu Zeng." Ishihara Wanji explained.

    Nanjiro nodded noncommittally, turned around and put on his shoes and clothes, and then followed Ishihara Wanji to the war room.  "How is the progress of Colonel Kawamoto's surprise attack?" Entering the war room, Nanjiro stood in front of the map with one hand behind his back, staring at the map, and suddenly turned his head and asked.  Ishihara smiled and was about to answer, when a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.  Ishihara Wan'er turned around and saw a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in with a message in his hand.  Arriving in front of Nanjiro, the communications staff officer suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, I have just received a farewell message from the Kawamoto Brigade." "Read it!" Nanjiro said with tight eyes.  "Our surprise attack on the airport failed, and we fell into a heavy siege by the Chinese Army. After a bloody battle, we suffered heavy losses. We broke through with force. Colonel Kawamoto committed seppuku. The officers and soldiers of our special force were also shattered by His Majesty the Emperor. Communications Corpsman Onoya  Er Yu risked his life to send a message to say goodbye at the last moment. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, and long live the Empire of Japan!" the communications staff officer read quickly.  After hearing the huge change in his face, Ishihara Wanji looked at Nanjiro and saw that his face was turning livid, his fists were clenched, and the corners of his mouth could not help but begin to twitch.  "Bagaya Road!" Nanjiro gritted his teeth and said: "All the soldiers of the Kawamoto Special Forces are all outstanding members of the Imperial Army. Colonel Kawamoto is an outstanding special operations commander in the Empire. I didn't expect that all of them would be shattered like this.  ." Ishihara Wanji opened his mouth to say something, but in the end nothing came out.  I saw Nanjiro taking off his military cap, bowing his head in silence.  After a long time, Nanjiro raised his head with a sullen face, and said in a gloomy voice: "Ishihara-kun, give me an order to immediately mobilize the remnants of the 6th Division, and then mobilize a unit from the Yuzhishan Division from the direction of Niujiatun.  The Corps reinforces Sujiatun and cooperates with the 20th Division to attack at night and must capture Sujiatun. " "General, please don't be impulsive. Now that Kawamoto-kun's surprise attack failed and failed to destroy the Shenyang Defense Brigade's air force base, if  We cannot defeat the ground troops of the garrison tonight, so there is no point in continuing the battle except to waste our troops." Ishihara Wanji quickly advised.  "Do you want the imperial army to sit back and watch as China invades and turns Shenyang City into an empty city? Sit back and watch them safely evacuate to Tongliao?" Nanjiro looked at Ishihara and said with a smile in a cold tone.  "Of course not, Your Majesty General, since it is difficult to make progress in attacking Shenyang, I believe that we should divide our troops to bypass Shenyang and attack the retreating Chinese soldiers and civilians, so as to prevent China from evacuating from Shenyang and wait for local reinforcements." Ishihara smiled and said.  "Bypassing Shenyang? Easier said than done?" Nanjiro turned around and looked at the map and shook his head.  Ishihara Wanji stepped forward and stared at the map for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed at the map and turned to Nanjiro: "General, since we can't capture Shenyang, we can definitely capture this place smoothly." "Xinmin?" Nanjiro said slightly.  Looked at Ishihara smiling in surprise.  "Yes, from the beginning, we did not take the resistance in Shenyang City seriously, so we let go of Wang Yizhe's 7th Brigade and also gave up the strategic location of Xinmin City. This is our dereliction of duty, because we  He overestimated Shinaru's will to resist and fought, which led to the Kwantung Army's defeat." Before Ishihara smiled, Nanjiro nodded and said, "Ishihara-kun, you are right from the beginning.  , our strategic thinking fell into a dead end. The imperial army's sense of honor prompted us to impatiently defeat the garrison brigade that defeated Zhang Xinghan in the frontal offensive battle, avenge the shame, and prove to the world that our Japanese imperial army is  It is invincible, but it also limits the flexibility of tactics." After saying this, Nanjiro said: "Ishihara-kun, send power to the 2nd Division and the 20th Division. The surprise attack of the Kawamoto Special Forces Team failed.  The division should adjust its main attack direction to Sujiatun. Some flanking troops can be left on the east bank of the South Canal to attract the Chinese defenders. The 20th Division immediately withdraws from the battle, bypasses Shenyang, and advances towards Xinmin City. Before dawn,  We must capture Xinmin City. "General, as long as we capture Xinmin, we can attack Shenyang by bypassing Sujiatun, or we can use Xinmin as an advance base to attack the Chinese soldiers and civilians retreating from Shenyang and seize the initiative on the battlefield!"  Ishihara Wan'er quickly bowed his head in praise, then immediately followed the order and left.  ??……………Beiling Airport, Zhang Xinghan sat in a military truck smoking a cigarette and waiting for his subordinates to clean the battlefield and tally the results.  "My dear, how did you know that the Japs would cross Dongshan Mountain and attack the airport?" Gao Zhihang looked at Zhang Xinghan in confusion and asked.  "I don't know where the Japanese will attack the airport from, but my intuition tells me that the airport is in danger." Zhang Xing said calmly while smoking a cigarette.  "Oh." Gao Zhihang nodded in understanding.  "Travel"?, the statistics came out, there were 318 soldiers in total. Except for one colonel who committed suicide, the rest were all wiped out by us. We suffered more than 50 casualties.  "Shen Xingye and Liu Cuigang walked over hand in hand and said excitedly. "How many mg34 general machine guns are there?  "Zhang Xinghan asked subconsciously. "Wu Ting.  Shen Xingye replied. "Where is the Garand rifle?"  " "Fifty poles, and more than a hundred flower traps.  "Zhang Xinghan frowned and said: "These numbers are much smaller than the number lost by the regiment in the battle of East Tower.  " "Could it be that the notebook was lost or damaged?  Gao Zhihang said unclearly. Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "No, since they can equip so much, it means that the number they seized must be more than this. What I am worried about now is that the Japanese have discovered the use of these weapons and equipment."  After advanced, they will use the captured weapons as specimens to conduct research. This will inevitably stimulate the leapfrog development of Japan's military industrial enterprises. This is not a good thing for us in China, and even for the whole world.  " "Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. Brother Ziheng, you can take care of the aftermath. I'll go back to Shenyang to direct the overall situation.  "Zhang Xinghan calmed down and jumped out of the truck to face Gaozhi Channel. "Yeah.  "Gao Zhihang solemnly nodded in agreement. "When Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye led the 1st Guards Company back to the brigade headquarters in the dust, Liu Guodong, the commander of the 2nd Regiment, had been waiting in the war room for a long time. "Brigade seat, airport  Not much loss, right?  "When he saw Zhang Xinghan, Liu Guodong hurriedly saluted and asked. "There was no damage to the airport facilities, but dozens of brothers were sacrificed. Fortunately, we have eliminated all the little Japs who came to attack.  After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he asked: "How is it? How about the South Canal defense line?"  " "Those puppet troops stopped attacking after suffering losses. Everything is fine on the east defensive line of the city.  Liu Guodong replied. "Where is the direction of Sujiatun?"  " "I heard that Jianguo won another battle and lost no less than two thousand Japanese puppet troops.  Unwilling to fail, the Japanese attacked again, but were again defeated by a group of soldiers using gasoline bombs and poison gas bombs.  "Liu Guodong replied. "Well, then I'm relieved. I tell all regiments, battalions and companies to be vigilant and not to give the Japanese invaders an opportunity. Persistence is victory.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded with confidence. "Yes!  Liu Guodong quickly stood up and responded. …………… The 2nd Division moved smoothly at night to Sujiatun, and took over the important task of attacking Sujiatun from the 20th Division.  The commander of the Second Division, Duomen Erlang, left Liao Bichen's regiment in Niujiatun as a suspect. He transferred all Tian Desheng's regiment and Cao Bingsen's cavalry regiment to Sujiatun. In order to cover the 20th Division's attack on Xinmin, Duomen Erlang.  The old Japanese cunningly ordered the artillery regiment to bombard Sujiatun, but did not send infantry to attack. Instead, they secretly took the opportunity to repair defensive positions and fortifications, especially the air defense bunkers. Apparently, after suffering heavy losses from the garrison brigade air force, there were more.  Men Erlang was obviously vigilant. After he was constantly bombarded, Liu Jianguo quickly ordered the artillery battalion to fight back. The two sides were engaged in intermittent artillery battles, but due to lack of detailed accuracy.  Target, the shelling by both sides achieved little effect. In the early morning, both sides stopped the shelling one after another and entered a temporary truce. Xinmin City, fifty kilometers south of the Shenyang battlefield, was completely quiet at this time.  , because the weather was too cold, the sentries who were supposed to be patrolling back and forth on the city hid in the gate tower to keep warm. At about four o'clock in the morning, the 20th Division was strengthened by a full infantry brigade and cavalry.  The assault detachment formed by the regiment quietly arrived at the outskirts of Xinmin. After some preparations, more than a dozen 60 mortars carried by the Japanese army suddenly started bombarding Xinmin City. The sudden sound of artillery and explosions woke them up from their sleep.  The Xinmin soldiers and civilians in the city gate tower were awakened. However, before they could run out to take a look, the gate tower was hit by a Japanese grenade under the impact of a huge explosion.  It suddenly collapsed and turned into ruins, and all the dozens of sentry guards inside were killed. After a sudden fire attack, hundreds of Japanese soldiers charged towards Xinmin City with rifles and quickly moved around to other parts of Xinmin City.  A feign attack was launched in the east direction to support the infantry siege. As the guards in the east of the city were attacked by a burst of Japanese artillery fire, the Japanese infantry who launched a fierce attack from the northeast quickly crossed the moat and rushed under the city gate.  ?After the east city gate exploded, hundreds of Japanese troops poured in from the city gate like water.  They collided head-on with the 619th Regiment of Duli's 7th Brigade in the city, and the two sides immediately started a fierce exchange of fire at the East Gate.  As the fierce battle progressed, the Northeastern Army, which hurriedly responded to the battle, suffered heavy casualties, and the east of the city was about to be broken through by the Japanese army.  At this critical moment, there was suddenly a burst of intensive gunfire and the deafening roar of horse hooves outside the East City Gate.  The Japanese troops who were attacking crazily outside the city gate were caught off guard and fell down one after another.  A Japanese major who was in charge of commanding the attack looked back and saw countless Northeastern Army cavalry suddenly coming out of the dark night like ghosts. After a round of shooting, they all drew out their sharp sabers and rushed towards them.  The Japanese Major was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly mobilized his troops to resist.  But it was too late, a large group of Northeast Army cavalry attacked instantly with swords, and a one-sided massacre immediately began.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 103: Huang Xiansheng comes to help

    "Kill!" Huang Xiansheng rode a tall horse, swung his saber and cut down a Japanese sergeant to the ground, then drew the saber forward fiercely.  More than a thousand cavalrymen behind him immediately rushed forward with their horses and swords waving.  Once such a battle is successfully attacked by cavalry, the result will be self-evident.  In less than half an hour, hundreds of Japanese infantrymen who attacked the east gate were killed, and only a few managed to escape under the night light.  When the Japanese cavalry arrived after hearing the news, the battle was already over. General Huang Xiansheng had already led his cavalry into the city from the east gate. The remnants of the 619th garrison regiment also temporarily repaired a defensive fortification at the city gate.  Machine guns were set up, but the Japanese cavalry failed to attack, and without infantry, they were helpless in the face of the prepared fortified city.  Had to retreat.  Inside the city, Li Dajun, deputy commander of the 619th Regiment responsible for guarding Xinmin, had already come up with his police guards.  Seeing that it was Huang Xiansheng, Li Dajun was surprised and asked: "General Huang, didn't you go to the pass? Why are you back?" "Yes, I went to Peking. Alas, it's a long story." Huang Xiansheng  He turned over and dismounted, walked side by side with Li Dajun and said: "I wholeheartedly hoped to find the young marshal when I arrived in Peiping and ask him to send reinforcements to Shenyang as soon as possible. However, I didn't expect that the young marshal insisted on going his own way. Not only was he unwilling to send troops to rescue him, but he was also the son of Chief of Staff Rong.  "Zhang Xinghan should be punished." "Rong Ziheng? Such a man, relying on the young commander's favor, usually dominates the territory of Shenyang, and flees without fighting when the Japanese attack. He deserves to be killed, and neither does he."  What a good bird, a big smoker?" Li Dajun said with great disdain.  "Yes, but I don't know why the young marshal can't understand such a simple truth." Huang Xiansheng sighed and said: "Although the young marshal is willing to sit back and watch the Northeast fall to the enemy and watch Zhang Xinghan lead his army to fight alone, I can't do it.  Therefore, I left the customs overnight and summoned the public security teams from all counties in the southern half of Liao Province in the name of the provincial police chief. I gathered more than a thousand cavalry scattered in various counties. I heard that the Japanese army Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhi  Shan rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and the Japanese invaders invaded Shenyang again. He led the cavalry to come for reinforcements day and night. Unexpectedly, he encountered the Japanese invaders besieging Xinmin. " "On behalf of all the soldiers of our 619th regiment, I would like to thank Director Huang for his timely rescue.  I will definitely report this situation to our brigade and ask him to thank the general." Li Dajun saluted.  "You're welcome, we are brothers, we should help each other and fight the enemy together." Huang Xiansheng waved his hand.  Asked: "By the way, Deputy Commander Li, our troops have traveled day and night and are in dire straits. Can you provide some food and fodder? After the troops have rested for a few hours and regained their strength and energy, I will lead the troops to reinforce Shenyang."  "I'll go make arrangements in person right away. Please wait a moment, Director Huang." "Yes." Huang Xiansheng nodded gratefully.  …………………The 20th Division Cavalry Regiment encountered the main force of the division that was coming shortly after retreating.  The captain of the cavalry regiment quickly reported the news that the assault detachment encountered a Chinese cavalry assault and the infantry brigade was completely lost to the division commander's office, Kanetsugu.  Shi Kanetsi was furious when he heard this and slapped the captain of the cavalry regiment several times: "Baga Yalu, what do you want to eat? Are you sitting back and watching the infantry regiment be defeated by the Chinese cavalry?" "Your Excellency, division commander,  I was leading a feint attack in other directions at that time, but I couldn't rescue him in time" The captain of the cavalry regiment lowered his head in grievance.  "That's enough, give me the order to advance to Xinmin immediately and surround Xinmin City!" Shi Kanci was very angry. He couldn't take Sujiatun. He couldn't take a small Xinmin City with one division?  "General, our raid failed. China must be prepared. We cannot attack Xinmin City too hastily. Besides, our warriors have been fighting continuously for a whole night and are extremely tired. Should we rest on the spot and make plans tomorrow?"  ?" Chief of Staff Mori Goroku advised with a worried look.  Kanoji Kanji was hesitant, and Mori Goroku continued to persuade: "And the battle is about to begin, and the China Army's air force will soon take off to join the war. I suggest that we stop advancing immediately and do our best first."  The air defense is ready to attack again." Shifu Kanci pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Just do what you said, chief of staff." Jinzhou, Duli Seventh Brigade Headquarters.  Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly walked into the brigade headquarters and reported to the brigade commander Wang Yizhe: "Brigade, Li Dajun sent an urgent call. An hour ago, Xinmin was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army. At this critical moment, fortunately General Huang Xiansheng led the cavalry.  Appearing in time to defeat the Japanese army, Li Dajun asked for instructions. If the Japanese invaders attack again, how should the 619th regiment respond? "What? The Japanese are attacking Xinmin?" Wang Yizhe was shocked when he heard this.  "In my opinion, the Japanese failed to attack Shenyang continuously. The attack on Xinmin was to steal the rear of the Shenyang garrison.After all, the garrison brigade is currently evacuating people from Shenyang, and the Japanese cannot sit indifferently and watch their safe evacuation.  "Zhao Zhenfan analyzed. "The analysis makes sense.  "Wang Yizhe nodded with deep understanding. "Tour Master, what should we do?  "Zhao Zhenfan asked. "Should I send a message to the young marshal for instructions?  Should we recruit new troops to resist?  " Wang Yizhe looked at Zhao Zhenfan hesitantly and said. "Brigade seat, Guoping thinks it is absolutely impossible. Judging from the young marshal's current attitude towards the Shenyang garrison, if we report this information to him, he will probably order us to abandon Xinmin.  , shrink the defense line.  "Zhao Zhenfan said sharply. "Then what should we do?  Deploying troops to reinforce the new people without asking the commander-in-chief?  At that time, he will be charged with starting a war with Japan without authorization.  "Wang Yizhe was very embarrassed. On one side was the young marshal who was kind to him, and on the other was his son-in-law. "Bridge, I was born in troubled times. A man does something and something he doesn't do. Now the national crisis is looming, and the Japanese invaders have taken over our land.  , kill my compatriots. As Chinese Communists and soldiers from the Northeast, we cannot blindly carry out the Young Marshal's non-resistance military order. The Young Marshal can bear to abandon tens of millions of compatriots in the three eastern provinces. We cannot, I suggest, Brigade Commander  Immediately secretly order all units of our brigade to march towards Xinmin, and form an angle with the Shenyang garrison to fight against the Japanese army!  "Zhao Zhenfan suggested with some excitement. "Are you asking me to betray the young marshal?  "Wang Yizhe said thoughtfully. "No, this is definitely not a betrayal. Whether you are loyal to the young commander and national dignity is insignificant compared to the safety of the country. We are fighting for the country and the nation, and we are definitely not recruiting troops for personal gain.  Self-respect, so there is no betrayal.  " Zhao Zhenfan said. "However, the young marshal was kind to me and handed over the seventh brigade to me. How could I ignore his military orders and act without authorization.  "Wang Yizhe said hesitantly. Zhao Zhenfan paused heartbrokenly and said: "Sergeant, protecting the family and the country is the duty of the army. How can we sit back and watch the mountains and rivers fall and the compatriots be in trouble just because of the young commander's wishes?  Furthermore, Ruoying was also in Shenyang City, and Zhang Xinghan led his army to fight alone for many days. Could the brigade have the heart to do this?  " Wang Yizhe's face moved slightly, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Brother Guoping, we are in the army, and obeying orders is the first duty of the army.  But from now on, I order you to lead the rest of the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment to immediately relieve the new people and reinforce Li Dajun.  " Zhao Zhenfan looked at Wang Yizhe with some confusion and said: "Brigade leader, why don't you personally lead the entire brigade of officers and soldiers to help Shen resist the Japanese?  " "Someone must give the young marshal an explanation. It is my military order to reinforce Xinmin. I will bear all the responsibilities for the young marshal. After arriving at Xinmin, brother Guoping can lead the 619th and 620th regiments to join hands with the garrison brigade of Xinghan to fight.  ri, no need to return to Jian again!  "Wang Yizhe looked out the window meaningfully and said. "Zhao Zhenfan was deeply moved. Seeing that Wang Yizhe had made up his mind, he said no more, stood up and saluted, and said: "The travel seat is precious. If the national screen is not dead, we will definitely see each other tomorrow."  You and I, brothers, can have fun over wine again!  " "Well, take it seriously.  Wang Yizhe returned the salute and solemnly said: "Go."  ” ……………Beiping, the Marshal’s Mansion, it was just dawn. A car stopped in front of the Marshal’s Mansion, the door opened, and the current Chief of Staff of the Northeast Border Defense Rong Zhen looked solemn.  He walked down and hurried straight to the young marshal's residence. Rong Zhen first found Zhang Xueliang's adjutant Chen Dazhang, and he informed Zhang Xueliang that he was waiting in the living room.  After waiting for more than half an hour, just when Rong Zhen was so anxious that he couldn't help but go to the young marshal's bedroom to look for him, Zhang Xueliang walked into the living room sleepily. He had a romantic night with Miss Zhao last night, so he was too indulgent.  Zhang Xueliang looked listless at the moment. After being urged several times by Chen Dazhang, Rongzhen hurriedly greeted Zhang Xueliang and asked eagerly: "Young Marshal, you are finally here."  " Zhang Xueliang yawned and straightened the collar of his military uniform. He sat on a chair and asked in a lazy tone: "Chief of Staff Rong, what important matter does he want to see me for so early?  " "Young Marshal, according to the latest information obtained by my humble position, the Japanese army attacked Xinmin in the early morning.  "Rong Zhen said. "Huh?  Attack Xinmin?  Zhang Xueliang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it?"  Xinmin lost?  "    "No.  Rong Zhen shook his head and said: "Huang Xiansheng secretly assembled more than a thousand provincial public security cavalry teams, appeared in time and defeated the Japanese army, relieving the danger of the new people."  " "Huang Jingzhong?  A trace of displeasure flashed across Zhang Xueliang's eyebrows and he said, "What does he want?"  " " I guess he is probably planning to lead the cavalry north to Shenyang to join Zhang Xinghan.  "Rong Zhen took the opportunity to say. "You bastard!  Which army is stationed in Xinmin?  "Zhang Xueliang heard this.Angry.  "The first unit of the 619th Regiment of the 7th Brigade is commanded by Deputy Regiment Commander Li Dajun." Rong Zhen replied.  "Immediately send a message to Li Dajun and order him to secretly arrest Huang Xiansheng immediately and recruit his cavalry!" Zhang Xueliang said coldly and ruthlessly.  But Rong Zhen said with a grimace: "Young Marshal, I'm afraid it's too late." "Why is it too late? What do you mean?" Zhang Xueliang looked at Rong Zhen in confusion and asked.  "According to reliable information, Wang Yizhe's 620th Regiment and the remaining 619th Regiment have left their garrison in Jinzhou and secretly marched towards Xinmin." Rong Zhen took the opportunity to say: "I guess, Wang Yizhe definitely wants to follow Huang Xiansheng's lead and lead  The troops betrayed the young commander and went to Shenyang to join forces with Zhang Xinghan and support themselves. "

    "What, what did you say? Wang Yizhe mobilized troops without authorization?" Zhang Xueliang couldn't believe his ears and asked with a look of astonishment.  "Come back to Marshal, it's true. The 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment secretly left the Jinzhou station early this morning. If Marshal doesn't believe it, he can directly send a message to question Wang Yizhe." Rong Zhen responded firmly to Zhang Xueliang's gaze.  "Rebellion, betray him, this ungrateful bastard Wang Yizhe, I have cultivated and valued him so much in vain, he dares to betray me?" Zhang Xueliang's face was livid with anger and he gritted his teeth and said: "Send electricity to Wang Yizhe immediately, no, directly to  The 619th and 620th regiments ordered them to return to their original positions immediately. No one is allowed to mobilize any soldiers without my order. Anyone who violates the order will be subject to military law!  go.  ……………………The 620th Regiment did receive Marshal Zhang’s order, but the commander of the 620th Regiment, Colonel Wang Tiehan, who had long been dissatisfied with him for not resisting the order, sent it to the Marshal in front of Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan.  The message was torn into pieces.  Then, Resolute troops continued to advance.  As for the telegram sent to the 619th Regiment, Colonel Zhang Shixian, the leader of the 619th Regiment, did not receive it at all.  Because under normal circumstances, the radio stations of Duli 7th Brigade are only equipped to the regiment level.  In order to facilitate the communication between the Xinmin City garrison and the brigade headquarters, Wang Yizhe assigned the direct communication platoon of the 619th Regiment to the regiment deputy Li Dajun.  So it was Li Dajun who was far away in Xinmin who received the order from Marshal Zhang.  After receiving this telegram from the Marshal, Li Dajun was a little confused. If we were to withdraw the 619th Regiment to its original location, would it be a withdrawal to the Shenyang North Camp or the current Xinmin City?  Confused, Li Dajun took the telegram to find Huang Xiansheng, director of the Provincial Police Department.  In any case, Huang Xiansheng has the rank of major general. Huang Xiansheng, the police chief of Liaoning Province (equivalent to the director of the Provincial Public Security Department in later generations), took the telegram and read it, and said to Li Dajun: "Deputy Commander Li, Marshal  The order is unknown. You should ask your brigade commander and take your command as the standard. Bi Jing's overstepping of command is rare. " "Yes, I think so too," Li Dajun nodded in agreement.  Agree.  ………………………Jinzhou, headquarters of the 7th Brigade.  Wang Yizhe had received the inquiry message from Li Dajun. After pondering for a moment, Wang Yizhe immediately called back and asked him to continue to stick to Xinmin. He would make a decision after the arrival of Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan.  As soon as the communications soldier took the order to leave, a middle-aged officer walked in.  Wang Yizhe saw clearly what was coming and could not help but smile and greet him: "Here you come, Li Chong." It was none other than Major General He Lichong, the commander of the 621st Regiment of Duli's 7th Brigade and attached to the brigade.  "Brigadier, I have just received an order from the Marshal. From now on, I will temporarily take over the position of commander of Du Li's 7th Brigade. The Marshal orders you to return to Peking immediately to report on your duties!" He Li rushed in and gave a military salute casually, saying in an indifferent tone.  "Okay, I understand." Wang Yizhe nodded calmly as if he had expected it.  This is also the reason why he did not send out the 621st Regiment, because in terms of military rank, He Lichong is a major general, which is one level higher than Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan.  "If the 621st Regiment is really sent out, once the young marshal learns about it, he only needs a telegram to bring the troops back.  "I have prepared a car for the brigade, please." He Lichong waved his hand outside, and two soldiers walked in with guns.  Wang Yizhe stood up with a smile, straightened his appearance, and walked out calmly.  Shenyang, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan rested for a few hours. As soon as dawn broke, he ordered Gao Zhihang to immediately send aviation troops to Tongliao to bomb Zhang Haipeng's puppet troops.  At the same time, more than a dozen Stuka dive bombers were dispatched to attack the enemy in front of Sujiatun.  However, due to the preparations made by the 2nd Division in advance, the results of this air attack were not great.  In the field headquarters of the 2nd Division, given that our own troops were frequently subjected to unscrupulous air raids by the Shenyang Air Force.  The angry Domon Jiro called the chief of staff and ordered: "Immediately send a message to Commander Nanjiro and ask him to immediately send aviation troops to provide emergency air support. It is time to show off with the China Air Force."  ………… Dalian Lushun Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  After receiving the telegram from Jiro Domon asking for help, Nanjiro immediately instructed all bombers and fighter jets of the Kwantung Army's air force to take off immediately, targeting Shenyang to bomb Shenyang and fight to the death with the Northeast Air Force in Shenyang.  After the first two air battles, the air force directly under the Kwantung Army now has more than 100 aircraft left, among whichThere are more than 80 fighter jets and more than 30 bombers.  ??This time everyone came out, it seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.  With their Japanese arrogant and arrogant character, how could they be willing to let the Chinese Air Force occupy air supremacy and fight hard in air raids and bombings every day?  In fact, if it hadn’t been for the heavy rain last time, the former commander of the Kwantung Army’s plan to mobilize all air power to fight the Shenyang Air Force in a decisive battle would have been implemented long ago.  Now after Nanjiro took over, although he knew that it would be difficult to win based on the quantity and quality of existing aircraft, in order to capture Shenyang, he completely wiped out the garrison brigade.  He still did not hesitate to take risks with a lucky mentality, and he pinned his hope on the rich flying experience of the Kwantung Army pilots.  Yaozhen believes that relying on flight experience can make up for the lack of fighter performance.  …………………In Tongliao Town, a cold current from the northwest surged over the Horqin Grassland in the early morning, causing the temperature in Tongliao to plummet.  The dew in the morning was heavy, and my breath was obviously steamy.  Zhang Xinghua felt like he was hit by something, and subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see company commander Liu Zhenhu gesturing towards him not far away.  Zhang Xinghua crouched down quickly, holding the gun and running towards Liu Zhenhu at high speed.  "Company commander, what's wrong?" Zhang Xinghua quickly came to Liu Zhenhu's side, squatted down and asked.  Liu Zhenhu reached out and pointed outside the wall. Zhang Xinghua quietly poked his head out and saw hundreds of puppet troops outside the town quietly approaching.  Looking at the approaching puppet troops, Zhang Xinghua couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, turned around and asked: "Company commander, what should we do?" "We don't have much ammunition. Let's move the puppet troops closer and then fight.  Try to use the minimum consumption to get as many enemies as possible," Liu Zhenhu took a few deep breaths and clenched the submachine gun in his hand.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghua nodded and clicked the bolt of the steel gun in his hand.  Outside the town, Zhang Haipeng, surrounded by several regiment leaders, was holding a telescope to observe the progress of the attacking troops.  "What the hell are these grandsons from the Shenyang Garrison Brigade doing?" Zhang Haipeng couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the attacking troops were approaching the town, but no defenders were seen opening fire to stop them.  Just as he finished speaking, gunfire suddenly erupted in the silent town.  The puppet soldiers who were cautiously entering the town were immediately knocked down.  The others scattered in response, looking for bunkers to lie down and hide, and began to fire back.  For a time, Tongliao Town was once again shrouded in intensive gunfire and one after another explosions.  At first, Liu Zhenhu and his men caused greater casualties to the puppet troops by virtue of their superior firepower. However, as ammunition continued to be consumed, the machine gunners had to slow down their firing speed to delay the consumption of bullets.  As a result, the blocking firepower is greatly reduced. With only sporadic firing from rifles, it can be imagined how difficult it is to suppress the large number of puppet troops.  Seeing that the puppet troops were advancing more and more and the situation was extremely critical, Liu Cuigang led more than 20 fighter jets and bombers to arrive in time.  More than 20 fighter planes immediately began to swoop, sweep and bomb Zhang Haipeng's offensive troops.  Aerial bombs fell one after another, and a dense rain of aerial bombs poured down.  Hundreds of puppet troops who were desperately attacking were suddenly hit, blown to pieces, and some were cut off in the middle by extremely powerful machine gun shells.  The puppet army's attack collapsed, and the remaining puppet troops began to run around in a panic, turning the entire battlefield into a mess.  After defeating Zhang Haipeng's attacking troops, Liu Cuigang directed the pilots to fly fighter planes to launch air strikes, sweeps, and bombings against Zhang Haipeng's cavalry brigade.  For a moment, the explosions outside Tongliao Town were deafening, and the smoke and fire were accompanied by the puppet soldiers' miserable cries for help, intertwined with the frightened neighing of war horses.  Looking down from the air, you can see frightened cavalry running wildly everywhere. Some horses were frightened and even dragged their masters to run wildly, dragging some puppet cavalry to death.  Zhang Haipeng and several regiment leaders only had to flee for their lives alone to avoid the bombing. In the panic, they still cared about the life and death of their subordinates.  However, their nightmare was far from over. Just when the air force fighter planes of the garrison brigade were about to return home from bombing and sweeping due to range reasons.  After a long and overnight march, more than 20 Renault tanks and armored fighting vehicles from Li Zhenyuan's armored cavalry company arrived on the battlefield in time.  As for Sabli's cavalry regiment and armored company's cavalry, they have long been left far behind.  At this time,Haipeng's four cavalry regiments were in complete chaos. The battlefield was full of fleeing cavalry and horses scurrying everywhere.  Li Zhenyuan and dozens of armored soldiers did not care about rest, and immediately drove tanks and armored vehicles to attack the chaotic puppet troops with strong energy.  The vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank cannons opened fire one after another, and the puppet troops who could not evade them joined the horsemen one after another and were knocked down in groups.  Tanks and armored vehicles fired while moving, so many wounded soldiers and horses of the puppet army were directly crushed into puddles of flesh and blood.  These puppet cavalry had seen such a battle before, and they were already frightened and fled in all directions. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs and were unable to organize any resistance.  Even if there were occasional puppet army officers who wanted to resist, there was nothing they could do against Li Zhenyuan's tanks and armored vehicles. They were either turned into sieves of blood by machine guns, bombarded into pieces by tank shells, or simply crushed into meat patties.

    Outside Tongliao Town, massacre-like fighting is still going on.  Li Zhenyuan commanded more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles to kill the puppet cavalry who could not escape.  The power of the vehicle-mounted machine gun was maximized at this moment. Tongues of flame roared out from the muzzle, like deadly scythes, harvesting the lives of the puppet soldiers in patches.  Seeing the opportunity, Liu Zhenhu rushed out with the surviving officers and soldiers holding a general-purpose machine gun, beating down the drowned dogs along with the armored vehicles and tanks.  The commander of the puppet army Zhang Haipeng tried his best to gather his troops to fight, but his troops had long been disrupted by the bombing of the garrison brigade air force.  They were beaten hard by the sudden tanks and armored troops, and they were instantly defeated.  He could gather less than a hundred puppet troops, and this also caused trouble for him.  Li Zhenyuan discovered Zhang Haipeng and a large number of puppet troops around him, and personally brought several tanks and rushed over while firing.  Under the bombardment of tank guns, Zhang Haipeng’s more than a hundred subordinates who had finally gathered together quickly gathered together.  Zhang Haipeng himself was so frightened that he even ran away.  And not long after, the second echelon bombing mixed group of the garrison brigade air force arrived as scheduled.  Immediately cooperated with the ground troops and began to launch dive sweeps and bombings at the puppet cavalry who were fleeing all over the mountains and plains.  The puppet army could no longer organize a decent resistance and the entire army was defeated.  Li Zhenyuan led tanks and armored vehicles in pursuit for dozens of miles under the guidance of Air Force fighter planes. All four of Zhang Haipeng's cavalry regiments were defeated and more than half of them died.  For a time, horse corpses were everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.  At the same time, on the battlefield in Shenyang.  When the huge mixed fleet of the Japanese Army Air Force just arrived in the airspace near Liaoyang, it was discovered by the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft that had been cruising this airspace.  The reconnaissance plane immediately reported this information to Beiling Airport.  At this time, the first echelon of aircraft led by Liu Cuigang had just landed and were replenishing fuel and ammunition.  The situation was urgent. Gao Zhihang could not wait for Liu Cuigang's first flight group, so he led the remaining sixty or so BF109 fighters to take off to meet the enemy.  However, before all the more than 60 fighter planes took off, the Japanese military planes arrived quickly.  Gao Zhihang and the first few fighters to take off immediately started a fierce battle with the enemy planes.  A dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and four anti-aircraft cannons deployed at the airport also roared immediately, and the fierce anti-aircraft firepower was as bright as fireworks.  The older the fighter jets were, the more they took off forcibly at the risk of being shot down. The Japanese planes began to desperately sweep the bombing organizations For a while, violent explosions sounded one after another near Beiling Airport. Some BF109 fighters were unfortunate to take off during the liftoff process.  It was hit by a plane, caught fire, and crashed with black smoke.  Gao Zhihang was stunned when he saw the heavy losses of his own fighter planes. He led several fighter planes and fired fiercely at the Japanese planes to cover the takeoff of his own fighters.  Although the desperate blocking of the ri plane caused difficulties for the air force to take off, it also exposed itself to the firepower of the airport's air defense force.  From time to time, Japanese fighter jets and Type 91 bombers were hit and fell, and some were directly hit by the explosion wave of anti-aircraft shells, and they volleyed and exploded on the spot like a brilliant firework.  The superior performance of the bf109 fighter jet and the outstanding flying skills of Gao Zhihang and other pilots shot down a Japanese aircraft.  As the battle progressed, about twenty BF109 fighters successfully took off.  The aviation team already had the power to fight in the air, and then the superior performance of the bf019, which was a full generation ahead of the Japanese aircraft, began to show the gap between the two sides.  The air force pilots drove the extremely fast BF109 and easily got rid of the locking attack of the RI aircraft. They quickly turned around and locked the RI aircraft in turn, and opened fire violently.  The Japanese fighter jets flown by Japanese pilots are far inferior to the BF109 fighters in terms of defensive armor and firepower.  Coupled with the huge difference in speed, they fell into absolute passivity in air combat.  "Da da da" Gao Zhihang piloted his fighter plane to lock onto an RI Type 91 bomber. After a series of violent fires, dense machine shells set the Type 91 on fire, dragging black smoke violently.  It rolled and swayed and fell towards Dongshanzuizi.  After missing the enemy plane, Gao Zhihang flew forward at full speed, then turned around and pounced on a Japanese plane again.  The anti-aircraft firepower on the ground was also firing with all its strength, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns formed a criss-crossing network of anti-aircraft firepower.  Its terrifying speed of fire is reflected in the piles next to the anti-aircraft machine gun.?Hill of metal cartridge casings.  With the full containment of more than 20 BF109 fighters and the full cover of air defense firepower, the remaining 30 or so fighters finally successfully took off one after another.  Liu Cuigang, the captain of the first squadron, flew the fighter plane to take off to fight, regardless of the fact that the fighter plane had not yet been completely filled with fuel.  As this batch of more than 30 fighters took off one after another, the power disparity between the two sides in the air immediately became huge.  The ri planes have lost more than twenty fighters and bombers after the battle, and there are still about sixty or seventy left at this time.  But in terms of aircraft performance, firepower, and defense, they are far worse than the garrison brigade air force.  A fierce aerial battle began on the tragic occasion. Due to the extremely lagging performance of the aircraft, Nanjiro's hope that the pilots could use their experience to make up for the gap between the fighters failed to materialize.  Because what he didn’t know was that the fighters equipped by the Shenyang Air Force at this time were bf109 aircraft that were much more advanced than the previous Gaudelon fighters.  The performance gap between the two fighters has become so large that pilot experience alone cannot make up for it.  What’s more, after many days of actual air combat, the actual combat experience of Gao Zhihang and other pilots who have undergone rigorous training has been greatly enhanced.  Under such unfavorable circumstances, it is reasonable for the Japanese fighter fleet to fail.  Coincidentally, just when the Japanese military aircraft fleet suffered heavy losses and was about to lose its support.  Twenty fighters and bombers from the second-echelon mixed fleet returned from the bombing mission in Tongliao arrived in time.  Without the slightest hesitation, more than a dozen BF109 fighters immediately joined the battle group.  This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Japanese military aircraft group, only half an hour later.  More than 100 Japanese planes were shot down and more than 70 were destroyed. The remaining 20 or so planes saw that the situation was not good and immediately turned around and fled.  But how could an RI aircraft with a speed of only more than 300 kilometers per hour escape from the pursuit of a group of BF109 fighter jets that could reach a speed of 700 kilometers per hour.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang piloted fighter planes and led their comrades in pursuit. After chasing them to the sky above Liaoyang, they finally destroyed all the Japanese planes and crashed.  Completely win this air battle.  After the victory, some pilots were furious because of the sacrifice of some of their comrades. They flew fighter planes to conduct dive and sweep attacks against the 2nd Division that was confronting the garrison brigade in Sujiatun, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese.  At the same time that the Shenyang Air Force achieved a huge victory in annihilating the Kwantung Army's air power, the cavalry regiment and armored cavalry company led by Sabli also arrived in Tongliao.  At this time, Zhang Haipeng's troops had been completely defeated. In order to prevent them from coming back, Sabli and Li Zhenyuan formed a surprise pursuit group and began to pursue the remnants of Zhang Haipeng's cavalry.  Along the way, they annihilated hundreds of Zhang Haipeng's defeated soldiers and captured a large number of weapons, ammunition and horses.  Sabli and Li Zhenyuan led their troops to chase for nearly a hundred miles, completely defeating Zhang Haipeng's effective forces, and returned with a great victory.  At the same time, the first batch of thousands of people evacuated from Shenyang had arrived in Tongliao.  The news quickly spread back to Shenyang.  Inside the Shenyang Garrison Brigade Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan was communicating with Gao Zhihang in high spirits, commending and encouraging the aviation team to achieve such a glorious air combat victory.  As soon as she hung up the phone, Su Hanyun took off her earphones, stood up, turned around, and saluted Zhang Xinghan with a smile on her face, "Seat at the hotel, the advance team is calling urgently." "Oh? Tell me quickly, how is the situation?" Zhang Xinghan asked eagerly.  gestured.  "The Air Force fighter planes and the armored troops led by Captain Li Zhenyuan arrived in time. They not only rescued the advance team, but also defeated the puppet army. Captain Sabli and the cavalry arrived later. They are currently taking advantage of the situation to pursue, expand the results, and eliminate Zhang Haipeng as much as possible.  "Also, the first batch of people evacuated from Shenyang have arrived in Tongliao safely," Su Hanyun replied with unconcealed joy.  "Where is Xinghua? Is he safe?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.  "Company Commander Liu Zhenhu reported in the message that Xinghua is safe and sound." "Great!" Zhang Xinghan was excited when he heard this and said: "With the defeat of Zhang Haipeng's puppet army, our army no longer has any worries.  I ordered that all the members of the advance team be rewarded. After the entire army has successfully evacuated to Tongliao, rewards will be officially announced. " "Yes!" Su Hanyun saluted, turned around, sat down and went to make electricity.  ……………Xinmin City, after several hours of rest, General Huang Xiansheng and his cavalry have recovered their strength.  When he was about to lead his troops out of the city to Shenyang to join the war, the scout cavalry sent out first brought back shocking news.  "Director, east of the cityA large group of Japanese troops were found in the ?? direction, including cavalry and more infantry.  "The scout cavalry reined in the horse and reported to Huang Xiansheng before he could dismount. "Huh?  Huang Xiansheng was slightly surprised when he heard this. Li Dajun, who came to see him off, stepped forward and suggested: "General, the enemy situation outside the city is unknown. Just in case, I suggest you not to leave the city for the time being and wait until our chief of staff arrives before making any plans."  .  " "Is your chief of staff coming over?  " Huang Xiansheng asked. "Yes, I have just been informed that the chief of staff led the main force of our 619th regiment and the 620th regiment have all left Shenyang and are marching towards Xinminji.  "Li Dajun nodded and replied. Huang Xiansheng pondered for a while after hearing the words, nodded and said: "Okay, I will wait for Zhao Guoping to come before making plans.  "

    Dalian Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Ishihara Wanji walked into the headquarters war room with a solemn face and a piece of message.  "Your Excellency, General, our air force was defeated in Shenyang's air force and the entire army was wiped out." Ishihara Wanji lowered his head and reported to Nanjiro with a sad face.  When Nanjiro, who was standing in front of the map with great interest to study the battle plan, heard this, he quietly dropped the pencil in his hand. He was stunned for a while and then asked in disbelief: "Ishihara-kun, what did you say?"  , all more than a hundred fighter planes of our air force were destroyed, and all the pilots were killed," Ishihara Wanji looked up at Nanjiro with a look of shock.  "This is impossible, this is impossible." Nanjiro shook his head repeatedly with a stunned expression. He obviously could not accept such a cruel fact.  This Imperial Japanese Air Force, which has always been able to fly across Northeast Asia, was completely wiped out?  Even if we lose, some of the fighters should be withdrawn?  But now that not a single fighter plane has returned, could it be said that the Northeast Army Shenyang Air Force has become so powerful?  Nanjiro was heartbroken, but Ishihara Wanji said: "Also, Zhang Haipeng's siege of Tongliao also failed. The China Army's air force and armored forces arrived in time to defeat it. Currently, Zhang Haipeng's four main cavalry regiments have already  They were defeated and could no longer organize a decent attack in a short period of time. "That's enough!" Nanjiro shouted in frustration.  After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Give power to the 2nd Division and the 20th Division, and ask them to secretly retreat to Liaoyang tonight and temporarily stop the attack on Shenyang. In addition, give power to the base camp immediately. The Chinese Army in Shenyang area  It has become a serious problem for the Imperial Army. Our Kwantung Army Air Force was completely wiped out in the sky over Shenyang early this morning. The 2nd, 6th and 20th Divisions also suffered heavy losses. Now Shenyang China’s resistance is very strong and cannot be eliminated without force.  No, please send heavy troops from the base camp to encircle and suppress them quickly to avoid further trouble!" "Hai!" Ishihara Wan'er knew that this was the most correct choice at the moment, so he bowed his head and left without saying anything.  ………………………Nanjing, official residence of the leader.  Mr. Jiang was sitting in the study and had just read Zhang Xinghan’s call back that Wang Shihe had brought.  After reading with frowning eyes, Principal Jiang said in a somewhat displeased and more puzzled tone: "This Zhang Xinghan, what does he really think?" Wang Shihe on the side was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say more.  After pondering for a long time, Chairman Chiang put the message on his desk, and seemed to say to himself or to Wang Shihe: "Forget it, let's ignore him for now. I want to see how Zhang Xinghan can accomplish this almost impossible task."  The mission will allow him to endure some hardships and temper his rebellious character. Notify the special agent headquarters and ask our intelligence personnel in Shenyang to pay close attention to the development of the situation in Shenyang. If necessary, we can secretly protect Zhang Xinghan's safety.  , No matter what, he is an anti-Japanese hero, and he still has a high reputation among the people. " "Yes!" Wang Shihe bowed his head, turned around and retreated respectfully.  ??……………Beiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Marshal Zhang was furious in the study at this moment. Although He Lichong took control of Wang Yizhe and temporarily relieved him of his command.  But the 619th and 620th regiments turned a deaf ear to their orders.  When He Lichong called and said that the 619th Regiment and the 620th Regiment, led by Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan, were about to arrive in Xinmin.  Zhao Zhenfan is a young officer who was born in the fourth period of the Jiangwu Hall. He was one of the officers who was deliberately promoted and cultivated by himself when he became the head of the Jiangwu Hall.  He is so ungrateful and betrays himself?  How could the arrogant and arrogant Zhang, who has always been a young man who has achieved success and commanded thousands of troops at a young age, not be angry?  However, Marshal Zhang may not understand that in the face of national justice and national dignity, personal grievances, honors and disgrace, as Zhao Zhenfan said to Wang Yizhe, are really insignificant.  Because not everyone will be as loyal to Zhang Xueliang as Wang Yizhe.  As a patriotic, ambitious and passionate young officer, Zhao Zhenfan obviously would not put the life and death of the country and the nation at risk just because of Zhang Xueliang.  To some extent, Zhao Zhenfan’s thoughts are more worthy of admiration than Wang Yizhe’s.  However, besides scolding Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe to vent his anger, Marshal Zhang had no good way to stop the actions of Zhao Zhenfan and the 619th and 620th regiments.  If you send troops to chase without saying whether you can catch up or not, you will not be able to stand up to the interests of the nation.  Moreover, Marshal Zhang also knew that due to his non-resistance, many Northeastern officers and soldiers outside the customs would inevitably have complaints in their hearts. If he sent troops to intercept the 619th and 620th regiments who were going to Xinmin to resist Japan, it would further intensify the officers and soldiers' hatred of him.  dissatisfactionIt will directly shake his prestige among these Northeastern officers and soldiers, and may even trigger a larger-scale mutiny and rebellion.  Just like how he dealt with Zhang Xinghan, no matter how much he, Zhang Xueliang, hated Zhang Xinghan and no matter how much he wanted to get rid of him quickly, he could only do it secretly.  Even if you lend him eight courages, he wouldn't dare to do it in such a reckless way.  Of course, in order to completely prevent such incidents that are called anti-Japanese but are actually rebellion from happening again, Marshal Zhang has already had the idea of ??abandoning Jinzhou and withdrawing all the troops outside the pass into the pass.  However, he is still undecided about this decision. After all, if he abandons Shenyang first and then Jinzhou, then his charge of not resisting the general will be completely confirmed, and it will be difficult to stand up and clear his name.  ……………Xinmin City, Zhao Zhenfan finally arrived with more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 619th and 620th Regiments.  After the rendezvous, Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan, 620th Regiment Commander Wang Tiehan, 619th Regiment Commander Zhang Shixian, Deputy Regiment Leader Li Dajun, and Police Chief Huang Xiansheng held a temporary meeting.  Zhao Zhenfan understood the purpose of leading his army this time, which coincided with Huang Xiansheng's idea of ??resisting Japan, saving the country and aiding Shenyang.  The two sides immediately discussed joining forces, first defeating the Japanese troops outside the city, and then meeting up with Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade to discuss the formation of a new anti-Japanese Northeast Army team.  Because among the officers present, Huang Xiansheng was the oldest (No. 3 of the Northeast Lecture Hall) and had the highest military rank.  Therefore, after deliberation, Huang Xiansheng was selected as the interim commander, Zhao Zhenfan was appointed as the deputy commander, and Zhang Shixian and Wang Tiehan remained in their original positions.  After joining forces, Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan immediately sent a joint message to Zhang Xinghan to discuss matters such as counterattack against the Japanese army.  ……………Shenyang City, garrison brigade headquarters.  After Zhang Xinghan received the joint message from Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned the second regiment leader Liu Guodong, the first regiment leader Liu Jianguo and Gao Zhihang to come to a meeting.  After everyone gathered, Zhang Xinghan took a telegram and said to everyone: "Everyone, I just got the news that the Chief of Staff of Duli's 7th Brigade has led the 619th Regiment and the 620th Regiment to Xinmin City. In addition, General Huang Xiansheng, Director of the Provincial Police Department,  He also led a cavalry regiment to Xinmin and joined forces with the 619th and 620th regiments to join forces with us to defend Shenyang. "What?" Liu Guodong and the old regiment leader are here.  Liu Jianguo looked at each other and said happily, even though they have been promoted to colonels, Wang Tiehan and Zhao Zhenfan are their old bosses. After many years of military career, they still have some feelings.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Great, with the help of Director Huang and Zhao Shenzuo, we don't have to give up Shenyang?" Liu Guodong said excitedly.  "No, Shenyang still has to give up. I said that the Four Battles of Shenyang cannot be defended for a long time. After the Japanese suffered heavy losses, they will not give up. However, their reinforcements provided us with a chance to completely annihilate us in front of us.  Opportunities for the enemy." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "To annihilate the enemy in front of us? The brigade refers to the Japanese 2nd Division that faced us in Sujiatun?" Liu Jianguo and Liu Guodong looked at each other and said in surprise.  "It is this 2nd Division. The Japanese army currently in the Northeast is still intact. The only one whose combat power can pose a threat to our evacuation from Shenyang is this 2nd Division. As long as we can annihilate it, then at least it can help us.  Evacuating Shenyang gives us half a month, which is enough for us to evacuate the entire city to Tongliao," Zhang Xinghan said.  "But as you said, the 2nd Division did not suffer much losses in the previous battle, and its combat power is still there. I'm afraid it is impossible for us to annihilate them all, right?" Liu Jianguo said worriedly.  "In the absence of the cavalry regiment and the armored cavalry company, it is impossible to rely solely on the strength we have now. However, with the help of the 619th Regiment, the 620th Regiment and a cavalry regiment of Director Huang, it is completely possible.  It's possible." Zhang Xinghan said with confidence: "The 619th Regiment and the 620th Regiment are the main regiments of our seventh brigade. They are well-equipped, well-trained, and powerful. Now we have complete control of the air and can defeat and defeat them all.  It is completely feasible to wipe out the enemy's 2nd Division. "What's the specific battle plan for the brigade?" Liu Jianguo asked.  "Guodong, you immediately transfer all the main forces of the 2nd Regiment to Sujiatun and join forces with the 1st Regiment. Under the unified command of Jianguo, concentrate all artillery fire and use gas bombs and arson bombs to launch a frontal attack on the 2nd Division. We  The air force will be sent to support you at any time," Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo and Liu Guodong stood up at the same time and responded, then turned around and took the order.  After watching the two men leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Gao Zhihang: "Brother Ziheng, please go back and command the air force to gather all the He111s."bombers to launch a full-scale bombing of the enemy's 2nd Division to cover and coordinate the ground troops' attack. In addition, some Stuka bombers were also sent to bomb the railway from Liaoyang to Lushun, and their coefficients must be destroyed to paralyze the South Manchuria Railway.  .  In addition, a group of fighter jets and Stuka dive bombers were sent to Xinmin City to launch an air attack on the enemy's 20th Division there to cover Xinmin's friendly forces and conduct strategic detours.  "    "yes!  "Gao Zhihang also stood up and agreed with a loud voice, saluted and quickly took the order and left.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 107: Interspersed and Detours

    After Gao Zhihang left, Zhang Xinghan personally wrote a detailed combat plan to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan.  Then, he called Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, take a company with you and go to the airport immediately and bring all the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns." Xinmin City, Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others  Ru Zheng was anxiously waiting for Zhang Xinghan's call back.  While waiting anxiously, the platoon leader of the direct communications platoon of the 619th Regiment finally walked in excitedly with a telegram in his hand, stood up and saluted Huang Xiansheng and said: "Sir, please take a seat, regiment, Shenyang calls back." "Hurry.  Read it!" Zhao Zhenfan waved his hand.  "This is to call Director Huang, Zhao Shenzuo, and Wang Tuanzuo. We have learned that you can put the national justice and national security first and lead your troops to come to the rescue. Xinghan is extremely moved. Now our Shenyang Air Force has fought bloody battles and shot down one after another.  With nearly 200 Japanese aircraft, they have completely mastered the air superiority in the Northeast. At this time of great victory, it is time for the three armies to use their lives to completely attack the Japanese invaders and defend our great mountains and rivers in the Northeast. Today, the enemy's and our forces in the Shenyang area have reversed. After careful consideration.  , I decided to concentrate all my forces to encircle and destroy the enemy's 2nd Division. I also hope that all brothers will cooperate with you. First, I will send out the air force to bombard the enemy in front of you, and order the main force of our garrison to launch a strong attack on the 2nd Division from the front.  I will also give you your full assistance. I hope you brothers will leave some troops to defend Xinmin. The rest of the main force will be led by Director Huang’s cavalry, crossing the Liaohe River from Liaozhong County via Jinwutai and Manduhu, and making a circuitous route to the northwest of Liaoyang to attack and occupy.  In Dengta County, we will cut off the enemy's 2nd Division's retreat to Liaoyang. I will also send an assault force from Chen Xiangtun to join you in attacking Dengta. Remember, if you encounter a small group of enemy troops along the way, do not be reluctant to fight at any cost.  Seize the lighthouse as soon as possible and strive to defeat the 2nd Division before the defeat, because our Shenyang Air Force can provide powerful air fire support, causing strong deterrence and damage to the enemy. " The communications platoon leader read the message in one breath, Huang Xiansheng,  Zhao Zhenfan and others all looked at each other in shock.  Zhang Shixian, the leader of the 619th Regiment, even took a breath of air and said: "Encircling and annihilating the 2nd Division? Isn't this a little too crazy?" Wang Tiehan, the leader of the 620th Regiment, was also a little worried: "At present, we are adding Xinghan's garrison brigade.  At most, our military strength is equal to that of the enemy's 2nd Division. According to the art of war, if we are five times stronger than the enemy, we can encircle and defeat them. Only when we are ten times stronger than the enemy, we can encircle and attack them. We do not have an advantage in terms of military strength today. Please note that  In addition to the enemy's 2nd Division, there is also the 20th Division in the Sujiatun area. Is it too risky to do so? "Although Zhang Shixian and Wang Tiehan both studied in the Northeast Military Academy, they are deeply familiar with modern military.  Tactical theory and use are still quite backward and unfamiliar.  In fact, let alone him, the entire China, even the elite generals who were born in Huangpu, are extremely backward in the use and understanding of tactics.  Before the outbreak of World War II, who could have thought that the German blitzkrieg gave the best interpretation of modern warfare?  Who could have imagined that with an absolute numerical disadvantage, the German army completed beautiful battles with fewer and more, and created counterattacks again and again.  Regarding the concerns and doubts of the two subordinates, Zhao Zhenfan did not express his opinions directly, but asked Huang Xiansheng: "Brother Jing Zhong, what do you think?" "To be fair, Zhang Xinghan's move was a bit risky, but maybe it is because he has this habit  Only those who have the courage to create miracles one after another, right?" Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Shixian and others meaningfully.  "What do you mean?" Zhao Zhenfan asked tentatively.  "Full cooperation, Zhang Xinghan is younger than everyone here, and his qualifications are not as good as ours. Once upon a time, we even lost the spirit of fighting to the death?" Huang Xiansheng said excitedly: "On the night of September 18th, you all are  Shenyang Barrier, nearly 10,000 troops withdrew without a fight. In the name of non-resistance, we have been humiliated so far. It is time to use our blood to wash away this shame and prove to the country that we are not cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. For the sake of the country and the nation  , we also dare to fight to the death with little Japan!" Zhao Zhenfan was so ashamed and angry that he immediately said loudly: "Sir, it's time to avenge the shame of our Duli Seventh Brigade, please give the order." "Deputy Commander Li.  One battalion of troops will stay behind Xinmin, and the rest will lead their troops and horses to immediately leave the city and attack the lighthouse in a roundabout way," Huang Xiansheng made a quick decision and made arrangements quickly.  ……………Sujiatun, the headquarters of the Japanese 2nd Division.  Domon Jiro was drinking at the headquarters. The entire air force was annihilated and the situation in Shenyang was reversed, which made him worried.  At this time, a communications staff officer strode in holding a message.  After saluting with hands and feet, the communications staff reported: "Your Excellency General, NanCommander Lang called.  "    "read!  "Jiro Domon picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and ordered with a red face. "The Kwantung Army Headquarters sent a message. In view of the total loss of the aviation fleet and the loss of the fighter planes that captured Shenyang, we specifically order your troops to stop the attack and retreat to  Liaoyang is on standby. In order to prevent the China Air Force from attacking and bombing, the retreat should be carried out quietly at night.  "The communications staff officer opened the message and read. "I understand.  "Jiro Domon waved his hand to the communications staff to signal him to go down, lowered his head and continued to drink. The communications staff lowered his head, turned and left. Suddenly, there was a deafening roar of an engine outside. "  Then there was a violent explosion that shook the earth and the mountains. The communications staff turned back in a panic, protected Domon Jiro and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, there is another air attack from China. Please take shelter for the time being.  "Jiro Domon may have drunk a little too much, or he may have had enough of being a coward of being bombed repeatedly. He pushed the communications staff away and roared extremely angrily: "Give me an order, and all regiments will immediately organize machine guns.  Fight back, fight back against the despicable China fighter planes!  " "Your Majesty General!  "The communications staff member hurriedly wanted to persuade him again. However, he was slapped by the angry Domon Erlang and angrily shouted: "Baga, execute the order!  " "Hai!  "The communications staff member quickly lowered his head, turned around and left quickly. In order to cooperate with the ground troops' attack, Zhang Xinghan specially ordered Gao Zhihang to dispatch all thirty He111 bombers of the aviation team at once. The total bomb load of the thirty He111 bombers reached 135,000 kilograms.  This does not include the amount of bullets from the three airborne machine guns loaded on the bomber itself. Aerial bombs weighing up to 135,000 kilograms began to fall freely in the bomber's magazine towards the 2nd Division's position. There was no need to worry about the Japanese air defense.  Due to the threat of weapons, the He111 bombers dropped their bombs at a very low altitude, so the bomb delivery accuracy was greatly improved. For a time, the defensive positions of the 2nd Division's wings were in a sea of ??fire, with violent explosions everywhere.  Under such intense bombing, the civil defense bunkers built hastily by the Japanese army began to be unable to withstand the impact of the explosion shock wave, and they collapsed one after another. Some were directly hit by aerial bombs, and some regiments were directly blown into ruins.  After receiving the order from Jiro Domon, he sent out machine gunners to try to defend themselves against the air with light machine guns, but they were all torn to pieces by the violent explosion shock wave.  The buried telephone lines began to be destroyed, and all units suffered heavy casualties. After more than half an hour, thirty He111 bombers completed the bombing, dumping 135,000 kilograms of aerial bombs on the 2nd Division's position.  The Japanese positions were filled with blazing fires and blown-up fortifications, and the air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent stench of fresh blood. Before the surviving Japanese troops could crawl out of the fortifications, the garrison brigade arrived.  The direct artillery battalion began the first round of shelling. The artillery battalion used arson bombs, and then switched to poison gas bombs. Under the coverage of these two weapons of mass destruction, the 2nd Division suffered a terrible death rate.  Many Japanese officers and soldiers were locked in bunkers by high-temperature burning gasoline bombs, unable to move. The communication between various departments was completely interrupted, and there was no time to use gas masks. The poisonous gas that followed quickly sent them all to Xi Yao.  While the 2nd Division was under intense ground-to-air fire, another bomber group composed of Stuka dive bombers from the Air Force also flew over the 20th Division's position and began to attack the 20th Division in rounds.  Although the Stuka bombers cannot carry as much bombs as the He111 medium bombers, their ultra-low-altitude flight capabilities make their bombing extremely accurate, coupled with the 20th Division's defenses, especially the construction of anti-aircraft bunkers.  Not as good as the 2nd Division. So after the first round of bombing, the 20th Division suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and most of the fortifications and bunkers were destroyed. The 20th Division fell into a short period of time.  In the chaos and busyness, Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others took the opportunity to lead two battalions of the 619th Regiment and the troops directly under the regiment, as well as two battalions of the 620th Regiment (the 3rd Battalion had stayed in Shenyang with Zhang Xinghan and had been expanded to the garrison brigade) and the troops directly under the regiment.  As well as more than 1,000 public security cavalry troops, a total of more than 4,000 infantry and cavalry troops were recruited.  Quietly leave the city from the south, take a detour southward, and go straight towards Jinwutai in the direction of Liaohe River.  At the same time, in Shenyang City, Shen Xingye has led the Guards Company to attack more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and four 88mm anti-aircraft guns at Beiling Airport.The artillery was towed by military trucks outside the brigade headquarters compound.  The other two companies of the guard camp are also fully armed and have been assembled.  Accompanied by battalion commander Guo Zhong, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the brigade compound wearing a helmet and white gloves, carrying an MP18 submachine gun.  Looking at the more than 300 officers and soldiers of the guard camp who were fully armed and on standby, Zhang Xinghan turned to Guo Zhong and said: "Zhongzi, I will leave a platoon for you, and the brigade headquarters will be handed over to you." "How about I take the brigade seat?  Let's go." Guo Zhong said worriedly.  "No, I have to personally command this battle." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand. It was not that he did not trust Guo Zhong, but that Guo Zhong did not have the prestige and courage to jointly command Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan's troops.  Guo Zhong nodded and said nothing more.  Zhang Xinghan, holding a submachine gun in one hand, looked around the officers and soldiers of the police camp with a burning gaze, and said solemnly: "Leave one company and one row behind, and all the rest will get on the car and set off!" Nearly three hundred officers and soldiers of the police camp responded with a bang, and immediately  They all rushed towards the dozen military trucks and trucks used to pull anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that Zhang Xinghan had prepared.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 108: Annihilation of the 2nd Division

    After a while, nearly 300 security officers and soldiers were all waiting for the vehicle. Zhang Xinghan opened the passenger door of a military truck and got in.  The drivers started to start their cars one after another. After the roar of the motors, more than thirty military cars filled with soldiers and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns started slowly and headed east of the city.  Due to the loss of air superiority, it was also subjected to carpet air raids by the Shenyang Air Force.  Therefore, the 2nd Division failed to discover the roundabout force led by Zhang Xinghan in time, but was desperately repairing the damaged positions and rescuing the wounded.  Waiting for the arrival of darkness in fear and anxiety.  By noon, the aviation force, which had replenished fuel and ammunition, once again dispatched all thirty He111 bombers to conduct another carpet bombing of the 2nd Division.  At the same time, a group of Stuka dive bombers launched a second air attack on the 20th Division.  Thanks to the full assistance of the Air Force, the roundabout troops led by Huang Xiansheng and Zhang Xinghan successfully rounded back to the lighthouse by 1 p.m.  In a deserted small village near the East Tower, Zhang Xinghan led a guard battalion to be temporarily stationed here.  The communications class quickly set up a radio station, and through the radio, Zhang Xinghan issued orders to Gao Zhihang and Liu Jianguo respectively.  Order Liu Jianguo to command the main force to immediately launch a frontal attack on the 2nd Division to attract and contain the enemy's 2nd Division's attention so that it cannot escape south.  Ordered the aviation team to dispatch fighter planes to attack the 20th Division, the 2nd Division and Dengta County respectively.  By assisting the frontal attack of the main force of the garrison and the outflanking troops' raid on the lighthouse, we ensured that we could win with one blow, seize the lighthouse, cut off the 2nd Division's escape route to the south, complete the strategic encirclement of the 2nd Division, and implement  Encirclement and annihilation.  At the same time, they contacted Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan's headquarters through the radio, and agreed to launch an attack on the lighthouse at the same time. Huang Xiansheng's cavalry team was responsible for intercepting Japanese reinforcements from Liaoyang.  and the Japanese troops who escaped from the siege in Dengta County.  After everything was ready, Zhang Xinghan personally led the guard battalion with more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns and quietly moved to a group of trees on the eastern outskirts of the lighthouse.  Not long after, the huge roar of the aircraft engine came from the sky.  Immediately afterwards, a rapid air raid siren sounded in Dengta County. The Japanese troops of the 1st Division of the 2nd Division and the 1st Division of the South Manchuria Railway Garrison who were left behind to guard the lighthouse suddenly became a mess.  The Air Force dispatched four or five He111 bombers and seven or eight Stuka dive bombers this time.  It’s not that Gao Zhihang doesn’t want to send more bombers.  It was because most of the bombers had just completed bombing the 20th Division and the 2nd Division and had not had time to replenish their ammunition.  “However, even though there were only a dozen bombers, they still caused considerable shock and casualties to the Japanese troops in Dengta County.  Several city walls were destroyed by violent explosions and collapsed for a long time.  Some Japanese soldiers who could not escape were blown to pieces.  About ten minutes later, the bomber completed its air strike mission and began to return.  Outside the eastern suburbs of the city, Zhang Xinghan calmly saw that the Japanese troops were busy dealing with air raids, so he drove all four anti-aircraft guns and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns outside the east gate in cars.  And quickly adjusted the shooting angle.  When the air raid just ended, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Four anti-aircraft guns and a dozen or so anti-aircraft guns opened fire immediately. Due to the terrifying rate of fire of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, bullets and shells suddenly struck like a torrential rain towards the east city gate.  There were several violent explosions, and the entire city gate was immediately blown to pieces.  However, Zhang Xinghan did not rush to let the infantry charge, but ordered to stop shooting.  Not long after, Japanese troops came to the city after hearing the news. Zhang Xinghan observed through the telescope and found that there were hundreds of people.  More than a hundred Japanese soldiers saw the city gate blown open.  They were so frightened that they built fortifications in the city and set up machine guns on the top of the city.  Zhang Xinghan then ordered to fire, and four 88 anti-aircraft guns took the lead in firing.  Due to the extremely fast rate of fire, the shells of the 88 anti-aircraft gun are like a hail of bullets fired by a machine gun.  Dazzling tongues of fire formed.  But it’s an extra-large one.  Dense cannonballs poured down on the city like a torrential rain, causing violent explosions one after another.  The masonry of the city wall was blown away, and the huge shock wave blew up the dozens of Japanese who had just climbed onto the city, including their men and guns, into parts scattered everywhere.  The anti-aircraft machine gun also burst out with terrifying power, and dense bullets swept in from the city gate like a gust of wind.  "Immediately, dozens of Japanese soldiers who were repairing the fortifications were thrown to the ground like grass.  "Brigade. Let's charge?" Shen Xingye saw that only the first salvo fired, and more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed.Lost more than half.  Holding a piece of mg34, he was eager to try it.  "Don't worry, Yi Zhi, you immediately take two 88 anti-aircraft guns and five anti-aircraft machine guns to the west gate to reinforce Director Huang and the others," Zhang Xinghan ordered.  It is obvious that bulky weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are not suitable for street fighting after entering the city.  Zhang Xinghan wanted to attract as many of them as possible and eliminate them on the city, and capture Dengta County with minimal casualties.  Shen Xingye immediately took the order and left, leading an infantry platoon to cover the anti-aircraft soldiers, pulling anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns around the south gate and heading straight for the west gate.  Outside the west gate, not long after the air raid ended, Zhao Zhenfan led the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment and rushed to the outside of Beacon City.  And immediately followed Zhang Xinghan’s instructions, deploying the two battalions of the 619th Regiment and the directly affiliated troops at the south gate and the north gate as a feint attack, and deployed the entire 620th Regiment at the west gate to serve as the main attack.  After completing the siege of the entire city of Lighthouse, Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Tiehan immediately ordered their troops to attack. The Japanese troops in the city hurriedly resisted while sending power to the 2nd Division and the Japanese troops in Liaoyang for help.  Outside the west gate, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Shen Xingye arrived with two 88 anti-aircraft guns and five anti-aircraft machine guns.  With the powerful fire cover of 88 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the Japanese resistance quickly collapsed.  The officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 620th Regiment took advantage of the situation to attack the city. Immediately, the regiment commander Wang Tiehan personally led the 2nd Battalion and the troops directly under the regiment to rush into the city along with the 1st Battalion and began to expand the victory.  The 619th Regiment also successively entered the city at the north gate and south gate and began to advance towards the city center from three directions.  The remaining Japanese defenders were forced to retreat toward the east gate in an attempt to break out from the east gate.  However, it was hit by devastating firepower from the guard battalion.  An hour later, the Northeastern Army eliminated all remaining Japanese invaders in the city and successfully captured Dengta County.  During this period, the 2nd Division was overwhelmed by the onslaught of the main garrison brigade and the bombing of the air force, and was unable to mobilize troops to rescue the lighthouse.  The Japanese army in Liaoyang, under the supervision of Itagaki Seishiro, sent a reinforcement force of more than 500 people, but it was suddenly intercepted and killed by Huang Xiansheng's cavalry troops.  After losing more than half, they hurriedly returned to Liaoyang City.  At this point, Zhang Xinghan had completed the strategic encirclement of the 2nd Division. The Air Force began to bomb the South Manchuria Railway, destroying all the South Manchuria Railway from Liaoyang to Haicheng before dark, completely paralyzing it.  It was night, Tamon Jiro and Muro Kaneji each led their troops to break through the encirclement in the east and west directions in an attempt to escape.  Zhang Xinghan was well prepared and immediately asked Huang Xiansheng to lead the cavalry troops and an air defense company consisting of four anti-aircraft guns and a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns to intercept the 2nd Division.  At the same time, Liu Jianguo was ordered to lead the 1st and 2nd regiments to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack from the front, and Zhao Zhenfan commanded the 620th and 619th regiments to attack from the lighthouse.  Launched a full-scale attack on the 2nd Division.  A cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment in Yu Zhishan were completely defeated during bombing and air raids during the day. At night, Domon Jiro left them behind to block the pursuit of the garrison brigade.  The remnants of the puppet army, who had long been frightened by the brutal bombing and gas warfare, surrendered one after another.  As a result, the two main regiments of the garrison brigade directly caught up with the rearguard of the 2nd Division.  At this time, the 2nd Division was already demoralized and depleted of men and horses. During the day, it suffered heavy losses from powerful air strikes and artillery bombardments by the garrison brigade, and had no fighting spirit.  The rearguard troops were overtaken by the garrison brigade. Before Jiro Domon could react, the forward troops were intercepted by the Chinese cavalry troops.  The air defense company brought by Zhang Xinghan caused unimaginable casualties to Domon Erlang's forward troops.  Almost at the same time, the 620th and 619th regiments commanded by Zhao Zhenfan also arrived in time and immediately launched an attack on the middle troops of the 2nd Division.  Suddenly the 2nd Division was cut into three sections, making it impossible for the head and tail to see each other.  Although the weapons and equipment of the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment are not as good as Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade, they are not much worse than the current Japanese army.  Especially in light weapons, they still have a slight advantage. In terms of training, they are also well-trained and no worse than the Japanese army.  Especially after the humiliating retreat of the September 18th Incident, the officers and soldiers of these two regiments were all determined to kill the enemy and avenge their humiliation, and the combat effectiveness they unleashed was much greater than before.  Under such unfavorable circumstances, the 2nd Division fell into an unprecedented crisis. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of a dense rain of bullets, one after another violent explosions, Domon Jiro is personally seeking help from Muro Kaneji's 20th Division.  However, the 20th Division, which had already lost more than half of its troops, was frightened by the garrison brigade, and the division commander, Kanetsuji Muro, was even more frightened.  Seeing our own troops break through the encirclement tenEverything went well, and they learned that there was loud gunfire in the direction of the lighthouse, and they were willing to go back for rescue, so they hurriedly led their troops to escape south along the Liliao River.  Without reinforcements, the destruction of the 2nd Division is inevitable.  After two hours of fierce fighting, the frustrated Domon Jiro sent his last farewell message to the commander of the Kwantung Army, and committed suicide with a knife.  The 2nd Division was quickly completely defeated, and a hunt-and-kill feast began again.  Thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers began to pursue the remnants of the fleeing Japanese troops unscrupulously. The red light produced by the explosion was everywhere in the dark night. Huang Xiansheng's cavalry took advantage of its speed to the extreme in the pursuit battle at this moment.  More than a thousand cavalrymen waved their sabers and mobilized their horses, cutting down the Japanese who could not escape one after another to the ground.  There is no suspense in the battle at this point.  (This website (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 109: Evacuation of the whole city

    In the early morning of the next day, the rising sun rose slowly from the distant eastern sky as usual, and the soft sunlight covered the earth with a layer of golden color.  In the fields on the outskirts of Dengta County, patches of red sorghum are swaying gently with the morning breeze.  The large sorghum field in the northeast of the county has been devastated and in a mess.  There are burnt sorghum everywhere, and there are large and small craters everywhere.  In addition to guns and ammunition scattered everywhere, there are also pieces of Japanese corpses.  In the sorghum field, officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade and the 7th *** brigade were cleaning the battlefield.  Zhang Xinghan came to the battlefield surrounded by Shen Xingye and other guards, looking at the Japanese corpses everywhere.  Zhang Xinghan felt as if a huge boulder had been put down in vain, feeling more relaxed than ever before.  With the 2nd Division completely wiped out, Shenyang’s soldiers and civilians can evacuate calmly.  Zhang Xinghan said to himself excitedly while feeling relaxed.  "Xinghan!" At this time, a loud shout came from the distance.  Zhang Xinghan looked up and saw General Huang Xiansheng riding a war horse and waving towards him.  "Director Huang" Zhang Xinghan quickly led Shen Xingye forward to greet him.  When he arrived, Huang Xiansheng turned over and dismounted, quickly came to Zhang Xinghan, looked him up and down, stretched out his fist and hit Zhang Xinghan's chest: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for many days, but you have become stronger, but your face is a little haggard, look at this unshaven beard."  , He still looks like a young man in his twenties." Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, and suddenly stood up and saluted Huang Xiansheng seriously.  Huang Xiansheng also put away his smile and looked at Zhang Xinghan solemnly.  "Director, if you hadn't handed over the command of the entire city's troops to me that day, Shenyang would have fallen long ago. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of folks in the city, I would like to thank you!" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.  "Hey, don't say that. The victory of Shenyang is all due to your command, Zhang Xinghan, and all the soldiers fighting for their lives. I, Huang Jingzhong, fled without a fight. I can't even see the elders of Shenyang. I don't deserve your thanks."  !" Huang Xiansheng waved his hands quickly.  "Director, you did not leave Shenyang out of greed for life and fear of death. Xinghan can clearly feel the general's patriotic enthusiasm. Because we are all the same. The blood here is not cold!" Zhang Xinghan said and punched his chest several times.  , said awe-inspiringly.  While the two were talking, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Tiehan and Zhang Shixian came over.  "Xinghan, Commander Zhang." Wang Tiehan and Zhao Zhenfan greeted each other one after another.  Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and shook hands with them one by one and saluted: "Seat down the regiment. Take your seats. I haven't seen you for many days." "Don't call me that. Xinghan, you are now a major general in the army and the commander of a brigade. Ordinarily I have to call you  You are Brigadier Zhang or General," Wang Tiehan teased happily.  "Don't make fun of Xinghan, everyone." Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly.  He shook his hands and said to them: "Everyone, this is not the place to talk for the time being. Please follow me back to Shenyang first. Let's catch up on old times and discuss future actions." "Okay." Huang Xiansheng and others nodded.  ……………………………………… Shenyang City, garrison brigade headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan handed over the aftermath instructions such as cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded to the command of Liu Jianguo and Liu Guodong, and returned to the brigade headquarters together with Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Tiehan and others.  Arriving at the brigade war room, everyone sat down around the conference table.  "Brigadier Zhang, we were able to achieve such a glorious victory today. It's all thanks to your meritorious command. I was still hesitant about your battle plan before, but now I, Zhang Shixian, am completely convinced. I am convinced." Zhang Shixian said as soon as he sat down.  He smiled and cupped his fist at Zhang Xinghan.  "Haha." Zhang Xinghan also liked Zhang Shixian's straightforward and straightforward character, and said with a smile: "Brother Shixian, thank you very much. The reason why we can win today's battle is inseparable from the concerted command of everyone, let alone  Zhang Xinghan would never dare to do this alone without our two brigades fighting for their lives!" "Okay, Xinghan, don't be humble. You can win the defense of Shenyang twice in a row.  It proves that your commanding ability is far superior to mine." Huang Xiansheng immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand.  "Yes, what Director Huang said makes sense." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked: "Commander Zhang, now we have completely annihilated the enemy's 2nd Division and relieved the crisis facing Shenyang. What next?  What are your plans?" Zhang Xinghan paused and asked instead, "I wonder what your plans are, Director Zhao Shenzuo and Director Huang?" Huang Xiansheng answered first, "I have been to Peiping, and the young commander has no determination to resist Japan."  , I had already decided before coming here to gather my team and join forces with you, Xinghan, to hold a joint event.The Japanese flag.  "But Xinghan, don't think too much. I, Huang Jingzhong, have no intention of competing with you for command. As long as we can defeat the Japanese, even if you let me be a soldier."  " Huang Xiansheng's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone present. Zhang Xinghan even smiled and said: "The director's words are untrue. We will discuss who will be the commander when encountering war in the future.  " Zhao Zhenfan coughed twice and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander Zhang, to be honest, Zhao led the 620th and 619th regiments to reinforce Shenyang in compliance with his military orders from the brigade. The brigade instructed us to  Putting the country and the nation first, we will join hands with you to fight against Japan and defend the territory together!  " "Tour seat?  How is he now?  Why didn't he come with his own troops?  "When Zhang Xinghan heard that it was Wang Yizhe's order, he quickly asked. "He said he wanted to give the young marshal an explanation.  "Zhao Zhenfan looked a little sad and said. Zhang Xinghan was silent for a while after hearing this, and thought to himself, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang, you'd better not do anything to my father-in-law, otherwise you won't blame me for being ruthless. "Oh, Xinghan, you are still hesitating there.  What, as long as you are willing, our **7th Brigade will be co-organized with your garrison brigade, and you will serve as the commander.  After all, your garrison brigade was formerly part of our **7th Brigade. They were brothers at first, but now they are co-organizers, so they can work together to fight the Japanese.  "Wang Tiehan saw Zhang Xinghan was silent and said carelessly. "Yes, in terms of military rank and position, you are now fully qualified to be the commander of our anti-Japanese armed forces, and I will be your deputy.  "Huang Xiansheng also immediately expressed his position. "Well, since you have no objections, the matter of our two departments being co-edited has been decided for the time being. However, I plan to wait until we evacuate to Tongliao to proceed with the unified reorganization.  "Zhang Xinghan no longer hesitated and said at the right time. "What?  Do you want to give up Shenyang?  "Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others looked at each other and said in surprise: "Why?  We have just won a great victory, and Shenyang is now firmly in our hands.  Why give up Shenyang at this time?  " "Brother Jingzhong, Brother Guoping, you don't know something. The evacuation of Shenyang was a military order personally given to me by Duke Jiang of Nanjing.  Of course, if it was just because of Jiang Gong’s telegram, I would not give up Shenyang easily.  The reason why we have to abandon Shenyang.  It’s really for the longer term.  ??First of all, look.  Shenyang is located in the hinterland of the Liaoning Plain, and the surrounding terrain is unsafe to defend. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to defend Shenyang for a long time.     To know.  Shenyang is the political and economic center and transportation hub of the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning. The Japanese invaders have been watching for a long time. In addition, they suffered successive losses in the Shenyang area and suffered heavy losses.  Therefore, they will never give up.  According to the information I have received, the Japanese are currently making large-scale war preparations on their homeland. Now the Kwantung Army has suffered another disastrous defeat and suffered heavy losses.  Based on the nature of the Japanese, it has become inevitable to increase the number of troops on a large scale.  By then, Shenyang will surely become the primary target of attack by the Japanese army.  We only have 10,000 troops in hand and lack sufficient reserve troops. At present, we are still unable to fully and sustainably compete with Japan.     therefore.  We can only retreat temporarily, abandon Shenyang, and avoid its sharp edges, until we can expand and strengthen our strength after a period of rest.  Then wait for an opportunity to attack the Japanese.  "Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and explained. After Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others listened, they pondered and nodded in agreement. "But, Xinghan.  If we evacuate, the people of Shenyang and the Shenyang Arsenal will suffer.  And what about the Air Force?  "Huang Xiansheng knew the importance of Shenyang Arsenal and the Air Force, and said with a worried face. Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Brother Alarm Bell, you can rest assured that I have sent advance troops to control the Tongliao area, and are repairing an airport there to facilitate  As for the evacuation of the air force, the people in the city began to evacuate one after another a few days ago. At present, about 100,000 people have been evacuated, some of them have arrived in Tongliao, and most of them are still on the way.  I have also ordered people to start dismantling the various factory machinery and equipment in the Shenyang Arsenal Industrial Zone. It will be completed soon and can be loaded into trucks and transported to Tongliao. After the factory is rebuilt, it can continue to be put into production.  " "Oh, so you are fully prepared to retreat?  It seems that I worry too much, haha.  "Huang Xiansheng heard this, his brows stretched and he smiled with joy. "Now that the 2nd Division has been completely wiped out by me, the Kwantung Army will no longer be able to invade Shenyang in a short period of time. It is a good time for us to evacuate the whole city, but right now you are all continuing to direct operations.  After a whole night, we must be very tired, so let's go, everyone goes to rest first, and we will hold a celebration banquet at noon to celebrate the victory, and the city-wide evacuation operation will officially begin tomorrow.  "Zhang Xinghan stood up and said. &nbsp; "Okay, let's do it like this." Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others stood up and left one after another.  After watching everyone leave, Zhang Xinghan summoned Su Hanyun and ordered: "Immediately send a message to the Nanjing National Government and the Peking Marshal's Mansion. After a night of bloody battle, our unit has completely annihilated the entire 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army. The specific results are being tallied.  I would like to report this great victory to the leader and the people first, Major General Zhang Xinghan of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade. " "Yes." Su Hanyun was also excited, and she quickly turned and left.  ps: The third update was completed yesterday. The reason why this chapter is so late is because when I was writing the second chapter today, I was discussing the follow-up development of the book and the formation of the army with two book friends in the group, so it was delayed.  Some coding time.  I am very grateful to two book friends, Huben Group Army and China Tiger Ben Army, for their suggestions. Some of your suggestions have really helped me a lot. From the beginning of the empire to the present, I feel that you are both mentors and friends to me. Every time we chat, you will come up with many useful suggestions.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 110: Completed Evacuation

    The news that the garrison brigade and the Du 1i 7th Brigade had joined forces to completely annihilate the enemy's 2nd Division quickly spread across the entire land of China like a strong wind.  Countless people from all over the world rejoiced and cried. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, China has suffered repeated defeats in foreign wars, losing power and humiliating the country, and has been humiliated to this day.  Now, Zhang Xinghan and his garrison have emerged, turning the tide in the September 18th Incident and helping the building to collapse.  It is their heroic deeds that gave the country great confidence and greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Chinese nation.  For a time, Zhang Xinghan’s prestige in the hearts of all the people reached a peak.  Many passionate young people are proud of him and join the army. They want to imitate him and shed blood on the battlefield for the country and the nation, protecting the land and guarding the territory.  The most surprising people in China were Principal Jiang and Shaoshuai Zhang from Peiping.  They could not have imagined that at this time, Zhang Xinghan could create another miracle and annihilate a Japanese division.  Especially Marshal Zhang, at this time, he had all the senses in his mind. Putting aside his personal grudges and prejudices against Zhang Xinghan, Marshal Zhang even began to secretly regret his original order not to resist.  If he had known that Japan was so vulnerable, why should he be as afraid as a tiger?  "If I had known that Zhang Xinghan could hold Shenyang with a brigade of less than 10,000 troops and almost annihilate the Kwantung Army, why would he give up his great foundation in Northeast China?  "However, I have never regretted selling medicine since ancient times. Zhang Shaoshuai's non-resistance perfectly set off Zhang Xinghan's greatness.  The people in the country even said directly that the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueliang was not the real Northeast Army, but Zhang Xinghan's command was the real Northeast Tiger and Wolf Army, a passionate army.  When the Northeast Army heard this, they were all ashamed. They wrote to Zhang Xueliang asking for a fight, demanding to attack Dalian and Lushun, drive the Japanese invaders into the sea, wash away their shame of non-resistance, and regain the lost territory in the Northeast.  In that moment, Zhang Xueliang's blood boiled with excitement. He really had such impulsive thoughts.  However, when he learned through diplomatic channels about Japan’s reaction to the Kwantung Army’s failure, this impulse and thought completely disappeared.  On October 18, the 20th year of the Republic of China, Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs notified the world about the Manchuria Incident.  "To confuse right and wrong, it is said that the Northeast Army deliberately provoked and destroyed the South Manchuria Railway operated by the Kwantung Army, and the Imperial Army was forced to launch combat operations to protect the railway.  However, the Chinese Army (referring to Zhang Xinghan’s garrison brigade) repeatedly ignored the imperial army’s warnings and killed Japanese nationals of the Yamato ethnic group, seriously damaging the lives and property of Japanese nationals in the Northeast.  In view of this, the Japanese base camp decided to mobilize twelve divisions to send troops to Manchuria in the name of protecting bridges and roads to severely punish the enemies of the Yamato nation - the Northeastern bandits in the Shenyang area.  As soon as this announcement came out, the world was in an uproar.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the way, anyone with a clear eye knows that Japan is unwilling to suffer heavy losses in Manchuria and wants revenge.  But on the surface, the excuse for this large-scale increase of troops in the Northeast is high-sounding. This is political and diplomatic needs.  After the national government learned of this news, they immediately lodged a solemn protest and requested the League of Nations to stop the Japanese from doing this, which was called road protection but was actually an act of aggression.  The result is naturally nothing. The Japanese are still stepping up their preparations for weapons, equipment, food and ammunition, and the thirteen permanent divisions in the country are also stepping up their expansion and reorganization.  ??……………At the same time, Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others began to command the garrison brigade and the 17th Brigade to mobilize the entire city of Shenyang and Xinmin, a total of more than 500,000 people, to retreat in batches.  In order to ensure that more than 500,000 people had houses to live in and food to eat after they evacuated to Tongliao, Zhang Xinghan used the huge wealth stolen from Shaoshuai Zhang’s home and the Shenyang Bank to send troops to purchase food and other daily necessities.  A large number of military tents stored in the Shenyang Arsenal warehouse were all loaded and transported to Tongliao.  Of course, the tents stored in the arsenal are far from being able to meet the temporary housing needs of more than 500,000 people.  But this is not a problem for Zhang Xinghan. The logistics option in the war game in the multi-function watch can not only produce military tents, but also other logistics and daily necessities.  In order to speed up evacuation transportation, Zhang Xinghan produced more than a hundred Dodge military trucks from the watch military vehicle category to transport arsenal machinery and equipment and evacuate civilians.  Starting from October 18th, the city's evacuation operation lasted for half a month. Snow had already begun to fall in Shenyang in November. Fortunately, most of the people in the city had already evacuated to Tongliao and received military supplies.  Various living supplies such as tents were temporarily settled.  On November 4th, Zhang Xinghan, dressed in winter clothes and a plush military cap, walked to the top of Shenyang City accompanied by Huang Xiansheng and others.  ? ?Looking up outside, everything is white, and snowflakes are still falling from time to time in the sky.  "We'll say goodbye today. I don't know when I can return to Shenyang again." Huang Xian said with some sadness as he looked around the familiar Shenyang city.  "In less than a year, we will definitely be able to come back." Zhang Xinghan vowed, looking at the snowy scenery outside the city.  "One year?" Huang Xiansheng smiled wistfully.  At this time, Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly walked up to the city from the city wearing a military coat.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan and Huang Xiansheng, they hurriedly waved: "Xinghan, Brother Jingzhong, I'm looking for you." "How is it? The last batch of people have evacuated, right?" Zhang Xinghan turned around and asked.  "Except for the thousands of landlords and wealthy people who are unwilling to evacuate with us, the last group of more than 3,000 people have all evacuated." Zhao Zhenfan nodded and replied.  "That's fine." Zhang Xinghan nodded with confidence: "Each person has his own ambitions. If they are willing to stay and be obedient citizens to the little devils, we won't force them, as long as they don't regret it." "However, Zhang Xinghan, we have a problem.  It needs to be solved quickly." Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "What's the problem?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "According to the news from Tiehan and Shixian from Tongliao, the temperature in the Horqin Grassland dropped sharply after winter, and the people lacked fire charcoal to keep out the cold. This matter must not be taken carelessly. It's okay now. Once we enter the twelfth lunar month, the temperature will be minus two to three degrees below zero.  It’s ten degrees, so it’s impossible to keep warm without charcoal,” Zhao Zhenfan said solemnly.  "I have a solution for this." Huang Xiansheng said: "Mobilize young and strong laborers to go up the mountain to cut wood, make homemade charcoal, and use charcoal for heating." "Well, this is a good idea." Zhao Zhenfan nodded after hearing this, but then said: "But just relying on homemade charcoal  I’m afraid it can’t fully meet the daily heating needs of half a million people, right?” Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: “Brother Guoping, are there coal mines in Benxi?” “Yes, Benxi is not only rich in high-quality coke?”  Mineral deposits, as well as a large amount of phosphorus iron and special steel, are all under the control of the Japanese government. In the past, the materials needed by our Shenyang Steelmaking Plant were purchased from Shanxi and other places.  You damn coward, we don’t have the right to mine our mineral deposits in our country,” Zhao Zhenfan said with an annoyed look.  "In that case, the coal we need will be obtained from Benxi." Zhang Xinghan said with a chill in his eyes.  "You mean, send troops to Benxi? Seize coal?" Huang Xiansheng asked in surprise.  "Well, at this time, we must first deal with the common people's winter needs. Brother Jing Zhong, please send an order immediately to mobilize all tanks, armored vehicles and military trucks to sink, send troops to Benxi, and rob all coal mines!" Zhang Xinghan ordered sternly.  "Okay, I'll go right away." Huang Xiansheng nodded and responded.  "Xinghan, should you think about it again? According to the news I got, the 12 divisions in Japan may have completed their deployment and assembly, and have even landed in Lushun. Isn't it too risky for us to attack Benxi rashly?"  Already?" Zhao Zhenfan reminded with some concern.  "Brother Guoping, don't worry. This time we are getting back something that belongs to us. In order to facilitate movement, all the troops use cavalry and armored troops. As for Japan's local reinforcements, they are not that fast. Even if they come, we will not  You can evacuate calmly." Zhang Xinghan patted Zhao Zhenfan on the shoulder confidently.  Zhao Zhenfan nodded, said no more, turned around and went down to the city with Huang Xiansheng.  ……………………… Outside the Kwantung Army Headquarters compound.  A car parked on the street outside the headquarters compound, flanked by two tricycles and two military trucks.  There were three Japanese soldiers sitting on the two three-wheeled motorcycles, each holding a crooked light machine gun.  The two military trucks at the back were loaded with dozens of fully armed Japanese troops. These Kwantung Army soldiers were wearing winter military uniforms, wearing plush military caps with full face, and carrying a 38-meter rifle with a bayonet on their back.  He is cold and stern, and he looks like an elite person at first glance.  Not long after, the current commander, Nanjiro, led Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro out of the car in high spirits. The driver of the car quickly got out of the car, walked respectfully to the right side of the car, opened the rear door, and saluted with a solemn hand: "General."  Your Excellency, please." Nanjiro lowered his head and got into the back seat of the car. Ishihara Wanji followed him, but Itagaki Seishiro got into the front passenger seat.  After the car doors closed, motorcycles, cars and military trucks started one after another and drove slowly along the street towards the Lushun Military Port.  Sitting in the car, Nanjiro was obviously a little excited, and said to Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro: "The reinforcements from the base camp have finally arrived. This time we can finally capture Shenyang, avenging our shame." &nbsp; "General, I don't know whether to say something or not." Itagaki Seishiro paused with a look of embarrassment on his face.  "Speak directly if you have anything to say." Nanjiro said in a good mood.  "According to the news from the intelligence officers of the Special High School, almost all the Chinese civilians in Shenyang City have been evacuated, and most of Xinmin City has also been evacuated. I think Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade will also evacuate Shenyang soon. Now, Shenyang  It can be said that it is already an empty city." Itagaki Seishiro said with some dissatisfaction in his tone.  "Itagaki-kun, what do you want to say? Just say it bluntly." Sensing that there was something in Itagaki Seishiro's words, Nanjiro gestured.  "General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The reinforcements from the base camp have wasted too much time on the mainland, and we have lost our best fighter opportunity." Itagaki Seishiro lowered his head and said.  "This is also why the Military Headquarters is helpless. The cabinet members headed by the Navy Minister have always disagreed with the large-scale invasion of China. Even after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed their intention to send troops to Manchuria, they are still trying their best to obstruct the expansion of the war against China and oppose sending troops to Manchuria. That's why they  It took such a long time." After saying this, Nanjiro changed his voice and said: "However, now the Sixth Army has sent us 12 active divisions. These troops are not only enough for us to conquer the entire Northeast, but also  It is enough for us to capture North China. As for the small Shenyang garrison, it is no longer the ultimate strategic goal of the Army." "The general's China garrison is well equipped and the air force fighters are extremely advanced. The threat cannot be underestimated.  Now the temperature in the Northeast has begun to drop sharply, and heavy snow is continuing to fall. If the bad weather continues like this, it will bring a lot of trouble to our subsequent suppression operations," Seishiro Itagaki said with concern.  "Itagaki-kun, you are worrying too much. With 12 permanent divisions and more than 300,000 imperial soldiers, no matter how great the difficulties are, they cannot stop the progress of our Imperial Army." Nanjiro said with confidence.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 111: Rescue the Miners

    Benxi Lake Coal Mine is the largest coal mine in Benxi. As early as the Japanese-Russian War, the Japanese defeated the Russians and gained control of the railways in the southern Manchuria area.  In order to exchange for Japanese support, Fengjun leader Zhang Zuolin sold and contracted all mineral deposits with important mineral deposits such as Benxi and Anshan at low prices, or gave them to Japanese businessmen with military background for free.  “These Japanese businessmen came to China to open mines and set up factories, and they showed no fear of outsiders. They did not regard Chinese miners as their own people at all, and squeezed the labor value of the workers as much as possible.  He seemed to regard himself as the master here. Since the warlords of the Feng clan needed Japan's help to compete with the domestic princes, they turned a blind eye to these matters and ignored them, allowing the Japanese mine owners to take action.  He was domineering and bullied the local miners wantonly.  On the road leading to the Benxi Coal Mine, Zhang Xinghan sat in the passenger seat of a military truck and smoked a cigarette while trying to recall the burial locations of coal mines, oil and other resources in the Northeast.  Of course he remembers the Daqing Oil Field, but right now, with his current strength alone, he cannot exploit the Daqing Oil Field.  “Otherwise, once the existence of the Daqing Oil Field is known to the Japanese, it will most likely bring immeasurable disaster to the entire China.  The Benxi Coal Mine has considerable mineral reserves, but now it has become a private property for Japanese businessmen to make a fortune.  Memories of his past life flew through his mind, and Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered an extremely important thing related to the Benxi Lake Coal Mine.  Zhang Xinghan remembered that before he was reborn, he once read a record in a history book about the worst coal mine disaster in the world.  The mining accident recorded in the book occurred in Benxi Lake. In 1942, a gas explosion occurred in the Benxi Lake Coal Mine. The black-hearted Japanese mine owner stopped the air supply in order to preserve mineral resources.  As a result, all 1,518 Chinese miners working underground died tragically due to carbon monoxide poisoning.  The number of victims of this gas explosion mine disaster is the highest since coal mines were classified into mining.  No matter what, the Japanese cannot be allowed to continue mining in the Benxi Lake Coal Mine.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but clenched his fists when he recalled this.  By the way, there seems to be a lot of mineral deposits in Tongliao.  Zhang Xinghan tried hard to remember, and finally remembered that there was an excellent coal mine in Tongliao that he could mine for his own use.  That is the Huolinhe Luyao Coal Mine. This coal mine is one of the five largest Luyao coal mines in China in later generations. Its total mineral reserves reach more than 13 billion tons, which is 9 times that of the Fushun Coal Mine and 4 times that of the Datong Coal Mine.  The Luyao Coal Mine is much more convenient than underground mining. The Huolinhe Luyao Coal Mine has such a large amount of mineral reserves that it can be used for more than a century even if it mines 10 million tons a year.  But with current mining technology, one to two million tons a year is already a very high output.  Some time ago, Zhang Xinghan was busy with the war in Shenyang. He only had a rough impression of the various strategic resource deposits in the northeast and northwest, and did not have time to recall and confirm them carefully.  The reason why he chose Tongliao as the anti-Japanese base area for the garrison brigade and Shenyang soldiers and civilians was because he vaguely remembered that Tongliao's very rich mineral resources were available for use.  Now that he carefully recalled the Huolinhe Luyao Coal Mine, Zhang Xinghan immediately had a new idea in his mind.  Because the ground is covered with heavy snow, the speed of military trucks is not very fast.  Suddenly, several cavalrymen roared and galloped from the front.  As soon as the leader entered, it was Huang Xiansheng who led the cavalry in person.  Zhang Xinghan was brought back to reality by the sound of horse hooves outside the car. When he saw it was Huang Xiansheng, he immediately waved his hand to the driver to stop.  He opened the car window and stuck his head out and asked: "Brother Jing Zhong, what's going on?" "Twenty miles ahead is the Benxi Lake Coal Mine. I personally conducted a reconnaissance with the scouts. The Japanese don't have many troops here at all.  At best, it's just some lackeys raised by Japanese mine owners and some retired Japanese soldiers who joined the armed forces." Huang Xiansheng said.  "Well, that's good, it will be easier for us to move." Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this, and immediately said to Huang Xiansheng: "Brother Jing Zhong, please pass on the order. When attacking the coal mine later, we must be careful not to accidentally injure the Chinese in the mine.  Miners, don't rush to blow up the mine entrance yet, let all the workers in the mine come up at any cost to destroy and seal the shaft," Zhang Xinghan said.  "After the Japanese are eliminated, we should load coal and evacuate as soon as possible. Rescue of the miners will definitely delay our time." Huang Xiansheng said in confusion: "What do you want them for?" "You will know this later, these  I keep the miners for great use, we don’t need the coal this time, but the miners must be taken away,” Zhang Xinghan said firmly. ?"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Huang Xiansheng nodded, turned his horse's head and galloped away with his two subordinates.  The distance of ten kilometers would take up to half an hour for armored companies and car teams to travel at full speed.  Now due to the heavy snow, the speed has been slowed down, and it took them almost an hour to reach the Benxi Lake Coal Mine.  But when they arrived, Huang Xiansheng had already commanded the cavalry to capture the mine and arrested all the Japanese mine owners and his lackeys.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan got out of the car, Shen Xingye, deputy commander of the police battalion, led several heavily armed guards to protect him.  Zhang Xinghan tugged on the collar of his military coat and walked towards the mine.  Huang Xiansheng dismounted and came over: "Xinghan, the guards at these mines are all fucking cowards. Our cavalry defeated them all with one charge, except for the dozen Japanese veterans who were hacked to death."  "In addition, this ruthless Japanese mine owner and his Japanese lackeys, totaling more than 20 people, were all arrested by me. They are just in front." "Ignore them for now, and immediately notify the miners working underground to quickly rise to the mine.  !" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  About half an hour later, more than a thousand Chinese miners and several Japanese foremen all came ashore.  When they saw the heavily armed Chinese cavalry everywhere in the mine, the Japanese foremen turned pale with fright, while the Chinese miners looked at each other and started talking.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and said loudly to the miners: "Brothers, we are the Shenyang Guard Brigade, specially here to rescue you." "Shenyang Guard Brigade? Never heard of it." The miners' reaction was a bit unexpected.  Zhang Xinghan’s prediction.  "Host, most of them come from poor families. They don't have enough to eat outside, so they come to this mine to make a living for the Japanese. It's useless if you talk to them too much." Shen Xingye reminded from the side.  .  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized that he could imagine what these miners were thinking at this time. First of all, they had almost become slaves and did not care about the hatred between the country and the family.  What they care about is whether they can earn wages so that they and their relatives can have enough to eat and not starve to death.  For this reason, it doesn’t matter even if Qianhuo is often bullied and abused by Japanese people here.  Although they say that they have captured this place with their troops and controlled the Japanese mine owners, what they think more about is that your Northeast Army will have to leave sooner or later, and then the Japanese will still have the final say in this coal mine.  Therefore, even if they have heard of the reputation of the garrison brigade, they do not dare to show too much intimacy.  After finding out what they were thinking, Zhang Xinghan changed his strategy and said loudly again: "Brothers miners, I know what you are afraid of. You are afraid that if we leave, the Japanese Association will continue to bully you. What I want to tell you is that today we will come  We are here to save everyone. We are going to open our own coal mine. You no longer have to work for the Japanese and have to worry about not getting paid. " "Sir, are you telling the truth?"  The slightly bolder middle-aged miner asked timidly.  "It's absolutely true. Have you seen the cars outside? As long as you are willing, we will blow up this coal mine later, kill these bastards and evil-minded people, leave here by car, and go to China to build our own coal mine.  I guarantee that each of you will get a satisfactory job. You will no longer have to worry about whether you can have enough to eat. When the time comes, I can also help you connect your home to our coal mine.  Go up and let you reunite." Zhang Xinghan responded loudly.  "Sir, to tell you the truth, we have all heard about your heroic deeds in leading the troops to invade Shenyang. Brothers often talk about you in private. In fact, we are always looking forward to our Northeast troops being able to drive away  These evil Japanese black-hearted mine owners have given the little Japanese a thousand lives, and we are forced to do nothing." Some miners who were often bullied by the Japanese spoke out.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to signal them to be quiet and said: "Brothers, from now on, I, Zhang Xinghan, promise you that no one will dare to bully you from now on." With that, Zhang Xinghan winked at Shen Xingye,  Shen Xingye immediately carried the Japanese mine owner, who was as fat as a pig, like a chicken.  The Japanese mine owner was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. After all, he was just a businessman, not a soldier. The so-called Bushido spirit did not exist in him at all. He was very afraid of death. Looking at him at this moment  As these murderous agents entered around him, he felt fear in his heart, the fear of death.  Zhang Xinghan turned a blind eye, took the riding whip from Huang Xiansheng's hand, and slapped the Japanese mine owner on the face. The Japanese mine owner suddenly let out a miserable howl like a slaughtering pig.  "BrotherLadies and gentlemen, today, if you have any grudges or grievances, these Japanese devils who usually bully and bully you all can be beaten to death by me, so that you can breathe out your bad breath.  "Zhang Xinghan said, raised his riding crop and whipped it again. Two eye-catching bloody marks suddenly appeared on the fat face of the Japanese mine owner. "Brothers, these bastards are Japanese, and they deduct our wages on weekdays.  He didn't say anything, but he often beat us. What he didn't say, he beat us like a son of a bitch.  " "Yes, beat her son of a bitch.  "Go on, kill them." "And those scoundrels are even more abominable." The miners suddenly swarmed up in excitement, punching and kicking the Japanese mine owner and his foreman and lackeys, and the long-standing  All the accumulated resentment turned into fists and kicked and poured onto the Japanese mine owner and his subordinate Han Jiān.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 112: Withdraw to Tongliao

    When the anger that has been stored up for a long time is given the opportunity to be completely released, the power that the angry person unleashes is terrifying.  Not long after, the Japanese mine owner who had been beaten by the miners with fists and kicks just now became silent.  Several Japanese foremen were also beaten to death by extremely angry miners.  "Compared to the mine owners, these Japanese foremans who personally carry out the persecution of the miners on ordinary days are even more hateful, and make the miners hate them to the core.  “It didn’t take long for the Japanese mine owner and his more than 20 shabby foremen to be dragged and thrown into the mine by the excited miners.  The cavalrymen hurriedly connected the long lead wires to the ** packages that had been prepared and placed them.  Huang Xiansheng directed the miners to bring some simple tools, get into their cars, and drive towards the road they came from.  Just when Zhang Xinghan was about to order the soldiers to detonate the bombs and completely destroy the mine, a miner suddenly jumped out of the car.  He knelt down in front of Zhang Xinghan with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, my cousin Xie Yong is also working day and night in another mine in Japan. Please go and save him, sir." "Brother."  , you get up first, where did your cousin work in the coal mine in Japan? "Zhang Xinghan helped him up and asked.  "In the Niuxintai Coal Mine, it is on the east bank of the Taizi River, about fifteen kilometers northeast of Benxi City, and about twenty miles away from here." The miner choked.  "Do you know how big the Niuxintai Coal Mine is, how many miners there are, and how much money they have?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The scale is not as big as our Benxihu Coal Mine, but the income is also quite high. The salary of the workers must be between six and seven hundred, and there are about twenty or so of the Japanese and the mine owner's lacklusters." The miner thought for a while and replied.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked, "By the way, what's your name?" "Sir, the younger one's name is Xie Wu!" Xie Wu replied quickly.  "Okay, okay, you can get in the car first, and I will arrange to go in and rescue them immediately." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  After Xie Wu got into the car with gratitude, Zhang Xinghan found Huang Xiansheng and said: "Brother Jing Zhong, there is also a coal mine in Niuxintai. There are six to seven hundred miners there, and there are a lot of people. I decided to rescue them too."  "Okay, if we don't stop doing it, let's clean all the large and small coal mines in the Benxi area. This will not only save a large number of miners, but also give the little devils a little look." Huang Xiansheng's character  At this moment, everything was revealed.  Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to open the army map, then called Xie Wu over, and finally determined the locations of various large and small coal mines in Benxi.  After pondering over the map for a while, Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xiansheng and Shen Xingye: "Brother Jing Zhong, you and Shen Yizhi will each lead a team of cavalry to sweep the Japanese coal mines from the north and south directions, eliminate the miners, and finally meet here." "Okay.  " Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement, and then he and Shen Xingye each led more than 500 cavalry troops in two groups and began to raid seven or eight coal mines around Benxi.  About two hours later, Huang Xiansheng and Shen Xingye returned successfully with their cavalry.  There were more than a thousand cavalry when they passed. When they came, a long stream of cavalry was already following behind them. A rough calculation showed that there were nearly two thousand cavalry.  Together with the more than 1,000 miners rescued from the Benxi Lake Coal Mine, the total number of miners rescued this time has exceeded 3,000.  Zhang Xinghan brought more than 100 military trucks and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles this time, which was barely enough to evacuate these miners in one go.  We had no choice but to give up the plan of loading coal and just pull it back.  Before leaving, Zhang Xinghan did not forget to order the largest Benxihu coal mine to be blown up.  ………………… At Lushun Military Port, a large number of Japanese warships have entered the port one after another, and groups of fully armed Japanese troops are disembarking.  The scale and momentum of the attack were far greater than the scene when the 6th Division and the 20th Division arrived last time.  The commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, was smiling as he greeted the several division commanders who had been approved as 6th.  After some pleasantries, the division commanders of each division boarded the cars that Nanjiro had prepared for them and drove towards the city.  Nanjiro was just about to wait for the bus when a three-wheeled motorcycle came speeding from the city.  Before the motorcycle was steady, a Japanese Army second lieutenant on the car jumped off impatiently, snapped his feet and stood at attention, saluting Nanjiro: "Your Excellency, General, I have just received a report from the Benxi garrison. Benxi Lake is waiting for our empire's merchants to come into operation."  The mine was attacked by the Chinese cavalry one after another. All the miners were rescued and all the workers in the mine were brutally killed. "What? The mine was attacked?" Nanjiro was shocked when he heard this.Has anyone figured out which unit of the China Army it is?  " "Shenyang garrison brigade.  "The second lieutenant of the Japanese Army replied. "Shenyang Garrison Brigade?  It's this Shenyang garrison again!  hateful.  "Nanjiro was furious. "General, now is not the time to get angry. Let's go back to the headquarters first. The commanders of other divisions are waiting for you.  "Ishihara Wan'er stepped forward to persuade. "Humph!  " Nanjiro snorted in anger, threw away his hands and walked towards the car. Although Nanjiro was angry, he could not send troops to intercept and kill the cavalry troops of the garrison brigade that had committed many evil acts. Because the divisions had just landed, everything  They are not ready yet. After all, this is an army of more than 300,000 people, not two or three thousand. It will take a few days of rest before they can officially enter the battlefield. However, Nanjiro has already started fighting with everyone.  The division commander and chief of staff studied the next battle plan together. The goal of the 6th Army Headquarters this time was not only to capture the empty city of Shenyang, but also to chase and annihilate the Shenyang garrison that had mostly fled to Tongliao.  Instead, they attacked the entire three eastern provinces, defeated the Northeast Army units currently entrenched in Jinzhou, southern Liaoning, and invaded the pass. At the same time, Zhang Xinghan led the brigade directly under the guard camp outside Shenyang City.  , the communication company and other direct troops, Huang Xiansheng's cavalry and the last batch of more than 3,000 rescued miners were evacuated from Shenyang. Zhang Xinghan got out of the car and walked into the Beida Camp to see that the neat military camp in the past was now in dilapidated condition.  Zhang Xinghan inevitably felt a little lonely. This was the battlefield where he came to this world. It could also be said that when he returned to Shenyang, he had to build this military camp to commemorate those who died in the war in Shenyang.  Brother Paoze: "Tour seat, the wind and snow are getting worse. You'd better get in the car quickly.  "Shen Xingye came over and reminded him with concern. Zhang Xinghan looked back at him, nodded, and walked straight out without looking back. ……………… After nearly twenty hours  During the trip, Zhang Xinghan led the last group of officers and soldiers to arrive at Tongliao, the base of the current garrison brigade, on November 7th. He handed over arrangements for the miners and other matters to Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng. Zhang Xinghan rode a war horse and took Shen Xingye to a house in the town.  It is a spacious courtyard. This is the temporary residence of Zhang Xinghan's parents and his fiancée Wang Ruoying. They moved to Tongliao from Shenyang. Zhang Xinghan has been busy with the military and has no time to take care of his family. Now that the entire army has safely withdrawn to Tongliao, he is very worried.  He took a break from his busy schedule to visit his parents and Wang Ruoying. The reason why he said he was busy was because there must be many things waiting for him to deal with. When he arrived outside the small courtyard, Zhang Xinghan got off his horse and handed the reins to him.  Shen Xingye. At this time, the people inside the house had already heard the sound of horse hooves, and Wang Ruoying, who had not been seen for many days, was wearing a black fur coat, a white scarf, a pair of black leather pants, and a pair of long boots.  Leather boots ran out in joy and threw herself into Zhang Xinghan's arms. Smelling the fragrance of Wang Ruoying's body, Zhang Xinghan patted her shoulder and reminded: "Ruoying, there is someone next to you"  After that, Zhang Xinghan looked at Shen Xingye who was tying his horse with an embarrassed look. Shen Xingye snickered and quickly turned his head away. However, Wang Ruoying was not moved at all and hugged Zhang Xinghan tightly.  Leaning on his strong chest, as if he was afraid that Zhang Xinghan would disappear if he let go. Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to open his arms and hug her, and comforted her softly: "I'm sorry for making you worry.  " Wang Ruoying shook her head gently, tears filled her eyes, and soon the tears couldn't stop falling. "Xinghan is back?  "At this time, father Zhang Yuxi's voice sounded from the yard. Wang Ruoying let go of Zhang Xinghan, turned her head and wiped her tears quietly, with a blush on her pretty face. "Dad, mother, it's me who's back.  "Zhang Xinghan saw his father and mother walking out one after another, and immediately stepped forward to greet them. "You're not injured, are you?  "Mother Liu Liping came over and looked up and down with concern and asked. "Mom, no, I'm fine.  "Zhang Xinghan gave her a smile to reassure her. "Why didn't Xinghua come back with you?  "Zhang Yuxi stretched her head and looked around, and asked doubtfully. "Xinghua should be helping to resettle the people now. I didn't go to him. He just came back and came back alone.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Oh, hurry up and enter the house.?, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold, and there's that one.  "Zhang Yuxi pointed to Shen Xingye, who had tied up his horse in the distance. "Oh, he is my adjutant and deputy commander of the security battalion. He saved my life in Shenyang.  After Zhang Xinghan introduced him, he waved his hand to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, come here and enter the house."  " As soon as they entered the yard, two tough-looking little guys ran out of the kitchen and ran into Zhang Xinghan's arms. " Qian Daddy, Qian Daddy!  "Er Hu and his brother Xiao Hu shouted in unison. Zhang Xinghan picked up both brothers and said kindly: "Er Hu, Xiao Hu, do you miss Qian Daddy?  " "Think about it.  "The two little guys replied at the same time. "Come and give Qian Daddy a kiss.  "Zhang Xinghan tilted his face to indicate. The two little guys were very cute and obedient and kissed Zhang Xinghan's face respectively. Zhang Xinghan said happily in his heart: "You are so good, come down first.  " After putting the two children down, Zhang Xinghan took out three big yuan from his pocket, handed it to Er Hu and said, "Here, Qian Dad came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you anything delicious. You and your sister can use this money.  Take one piece and ask your mother to help you buy whatever you want to eat.  " "Thank you Qian Dad.  " Erhu reached out and took Dayang, and ran towards the kitchen with his brother happily. After a while, Mrs. Zhou came out with her daughter Da Ya wearing an apron. When she saw Zhang Xinghan, she said very excitedly: "Brother Xinghan,  You're back?  How do you pay the kids back?  " "This is what I buy snacks for my children.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded with a slight smile. "Sister-in-law Zhou, it's rare for Xinghan to come back today. Please cook more delicious dishes so that our family can have a delicious reunion dinner.  "Zhang Yuxi said to Zhou. "Hey, okay, I'll go get ready right away.  "Ms. Zhou happily agreed, turned around and walked into the kitchen. "Xinghan, you and dad chat first, and I'll go to the kitchen to help.  "Wang Ruoying said.

    It was a rare occasion to have a meal with his family, and Zhang Xinghan was in a very happy mood. Although he was missing his younger brother, his two godsons were enjoying themselves during the dinner.  After dinner, Shen Xingye went out to fetch his horse, Zhang Xinghan said goodbye to his parents, and Wang Ruoying went out to see him off, all the way out of the town.  Because all the residential buildings in the town were used to house the people evacuated from Shenyang and the wounded soldiers of the garrison brigade.  Zhang Xinghan’s brigade headquarters was located outside the town.  Seeing that the town was getting farther and farther away from the town, Shen Xingye led the two horses and stopped and waited in front of them from time to time.  Zhang Xinghan took Wang Ruoying's soft and boneless hand and said: "Okay, Ruoying, just send it here. When I'm done, I will go home to see you and your parents at any time." "Yes." Wang Ruoying is well-behaved.  He nodded, stood on tiptoes and kissed Zhang Xinghan's resolute face. His delicate dimple was suddenly covered with a layer of red clouds. He lowered his head and said, "Take care." "Yes, I will." Zhang Xinghan nodded solemnly and endured  He resisted the urge to hold her tightly in his arms, said goodbye, turned around and strode towards Shen Xingye without looking back.  Tongliao Town is located on the south bank of the Xiliao River. Zhang Xinghan's brigade headquarters is located near the airport to the west of the town.  When Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye arrived at the headquarters in the wind and snow.  Zhao Zhenfan, Huang Xiansheng and others have been waiting for a long time.  They burned a basin of charcoal in the tent to keep the temperature inside from getting too low.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan entered the room, he felt warm as spring. He quickly walked to the charcoal basin to warm his hands, and waved to Zhao Zhenfan and others: "Okay, please sit down." Huang Xiansheng and others who had just stood up started to  After sitting down, Zhao Zhenfan said: "Xinghan, you are here just in time. There are some things that I need to report to you. There is also the matter of the reorganization of our two brigades. In order to unify the combat effectiveness, I think it is best to resolve it as soon as possible." "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded thoughtfully.  "First of all, the people who were evacuated from Xinmin City in Shenyang. Tiehan, Shixian and others, myself and others, commanded the troops to help them move into several towns such as Tongliao Town, Qinghe Town, Yuxin Town, Toyota Town and Mulitu Town, as well as these  Military tents and other living materials have also been distributed to the villages around the town, temporarily solving the food and housing problems of the people in Shenyang and Xinmin," Zhao Zhenfan said seriously and in detail.  "Well, well done, but we must pay attention to coordinating the relationship with local residents in each town." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "This is not a big problem. The local people are very supportive of our resistance to Japan. In addition, Captain Sabli is a local and an anti-Japanese hero, so there is no need to worry at all." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Well, that's good." Zhang Xinghan took out a cigarette from his pocket, picked up a small piece of charcoal and used it as a match, lit the cigarette, took two heavy puffs, stood up and walked: "Brother Alarm Bell, Brother Guoping, about  What do you think about our three co-editors?" "As long as you serve as the commander of the army, Xinghan, I have no objection," Huang Xiansheng said first.  "Brother Jingzhong is right. In terms of tactical command ability, no one here can control you. It is most appropriate for you to be the commander and unified command of all the anti-Japanese troops in Tongliao." Zhao Zhenfan also nodded in agreement.  "Zhao Shenzuo and Director Huang are right. You, Xinghan, will serve as the commander. I, Wang Tiehan, am convinced. If anyone is not convinced, whoever can defend Shenyang with only a few thousand troops and defeat tens of thousands of Kwantung Army. I, Wang Tiehan, will  Choose him as commander." Wang Tiehan, leader of the 620th Regiment, also expressed his opinion.  Seeing Wang Tiehan and three others saying this, Zhang Shixian was afraid of being left behind, and quickly expressed his position: "I have no objection. The position of commander must belong to Xinghan." Zhang Xinghan was silent for a moment, and said: "The matter of co-editing our ministries,  Our private discussions don't count. If we want to be formally recognized and appointed, we need a letter of appointment from the Nanjing National Government. I think this is how we will briefly report our withdrawal to Tongliao to Nanjing and see how President Jiang will arrange it.  "No matter what Jiang Gong arranges, you are determined to be the commander of this force, Xinghan. Haha." Huang Xiansheng laughed heartily and patted Zhang Xinghan on the shoulder. Whether it was the previous two battles to defend Shenyang or this siege.  Battle of the 2nd Division.  Huang Xiansheng's attitude toward Zhang Xinghan at this time was just one word: "I'm convinced."  Zhao Zhenfan nodded and then said: "What Xinghan said is not unreasonable. After all, Nanjing government is the only legal government now." "The most urgent task now is that we still need to solve the problem of charcoal and other heating materials that the people need for winter." Zhang Xinghan said.  "By the way, those more than 3,000 miners have been rescued. Xinghan, didn't you say they were reused? I'm curious what you plan to use them for?" Huang Xiansheng looked at it in confusion.?Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan smiled mysteriously, walked to the map, searched with his eyes, and finally pointed to a small town in the northwest of Tongliao and said: "This is it." "Huolin River?" Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others looked at each other in confusion.  "Yes, it is the Huolin River. This is a natural open-pit coal mine with an amazing reserve. I want to open a mine here to meet the coal needs of the military and civilians in my Tongliao base. Of course, with the increase in mining volume, in the future  It can also be used to develop other industries, or sold for financial income," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Open-pit coal mine? Xinghan, how do you know there is a coal mine in Huolinhe?" Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.  "My father came here when he was doing business in the early years. Maybe he heard about it. I also heard what my father said. As for whether it is true, I have to send experienced miners like Xie Wu and others to check it out." Zhang Xinghan had already thought about it.  Huang Xiansheng and the others couldn't just go and ask their father, right?  "Oh." Huang Xiansheng said: "Then when will we send people there?" "The sooner the better, it is best to leave today. Just in case, Brother Alarm Bell, you have to send some cavalry to escort and protect the miners. If it is determined that the coal mine  If it does exist, then start building the mine as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan said, "Brother Guoping, go and select a group of experienced miners." "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhao Zhenfan nodded and left.  "Xinghan, the deployment of troops must be temporarily planned. Now we have five infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments with nearly 15,000 people crowded in Tongliao Town. If the Japanese army invades, there will be no depth of defense."  After Zhao Zhenfan left, Huang Xiansheng looked at the map and said to Zhang Xinghan.  "Well, Qinglong Mountain guards the transportation artery from Tongliao to Shenyang and is a strategic location for our Tongliao base. I plan to mobilize two main infantry regiments, supplemented by artillery battalions, to build a large number of permanent defenses in Qinglong Mountain to serve as a barrier to Tongliao.  ." Zhang Xinghan pointed to the Qinglong Mountain area east of Tongliao.  "It seems that you have a plan." Huang Xiansheng looked at the map for a while and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Yes. Qinglong Mountain is indeed a rare defensive location." "Send those groups specifically. When we call back from Nanjing, we will  Let’s decide again,” Zhang Xinghan said.  ????………Nanjing, Jiang Gong’s residence.  With the message sent by Zhang Xinghan, the chief of guard Wang Shihe came to the mansion garden and found Principal Jiang who was taking afternoon tea and taking a walk.  "Principal, Zhang Xinghan called." "Oh?" Principal Jiang, who was walking slowly with a cane, stopped when he heard the words, raised his hand and said: "Read it." "Zhang Xinghan called, the remaining troops have successfully evacuated to Shenyang and Xinmin City along with the people.  Tongliao is planned to be based on Tongliao to persist in the resistance against Japan. The cavalry led by Liao Police Chief Huang Xiansheng, two regiments led by Zhao Zhenfan, chief of staff of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, and a regiment of Heilongjiang cavalry are currently all in Tongliao, hoping to join forces to strengthen.  The anti-Japanese forces hope that Duke Jiang will approve it." Wang Shihe finished reading quickly.  "Huh?" Principal Jiang is so smart, but he can't tell that Zhang Xinghan is asking for his own establishment.  However, what is quite surprising is that Zhao Zhenfan actually took away two regiments of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China and joined forces with Zhang Xinghan. ?? **The 7th Brigade is the ace elite of his sworn brother Zhang Xiaoliu. Is it just hollowed out like this?  With a burst of joy in his heart, Jiang Gong pondered for a moment and said to Wang Shihe: "Draw a telegram to revive Zhang Xinghan. The telegram has been received. In view of the heroic performance of your troops in Shenyang. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of Tongliao's anti-Japanese troops, unified command, special order  The Shenyang Garrison Brigade was reorganized into the Tongliao National Salvation Division of the National Revolutionary Army. Zhang Xinghan was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and division commander. Huang Xiansheng was the deputy division commander and the rank of major general. The original designations of the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment were no longer allowed.  It is still owned by the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army. Please report the specific personnel of each regiment to the government, and then the Ministry of Military Affairs will issue a unified number." "By the way, send a message to Han Qing.  The designations of the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment still belong to the **7th Brigade," Principal Jiang did not forget to add.  "Yes." Wang Shihe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, Principal, this is too cruel. You helped Zhang Xinghan poach Deputy Commander Zhang, and even sent a text message to disgust him.  ????………………Beiping, Marshal Zhang’s Mansion.  As Principal Jiang and Wang Shihe expected, Marshal Zhang, who was originally training Wang Yizhe, received this notification message from Principal Jiang.  He was so angry that he threw the message at Wang Yizhe and shouted angrily: "See for yourself, what does Mr. Jiang mean? Does it mean that I have no control over my subordinates and all of them rebelled without permission? Look at it."  ” Wang YizheHe straightened his body and said with a straight look: "Young Marshal, Chief of Staff Zhao led the 620th and 619th regiments back to Shen Kangyang. They are all humble orders. All punishments are borne by one person and have nothing to do with other people." "You  !" Zhang Xiaoliu's face turned livid with anger. No matter what, Wang Yizhe was his confidant and he could not bring himself to deal with Wang Yizhe for the moment.  "Young Marshal, you are doing this under your humble position just to rectify the name of our Northeastern Army. Our Seventh Brigade is stationed at Beidaying and shoulders the important task of guarding Shenyang. We abandoned Beidaying and Shenyang without firing a single shot, which is a threat to our countrymen.  What kind of face does it have for the nation to meet the elders in Guan Nei?" Wang Yizhe said righteously.  "Okay, you don't want to go back to Jinzhou for the time being. Stay in Peiping and reflect on yourself." Zhang Xiaoliu suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand to him patiently.  ps: My son didn’t know what was going on last night. He kept crying and refused to sleep or take a bath. The weather was hot. After coaxing him, it was already past 11 o’clock. I was too tired to go to bed, which delayed yesterday.  of updates.  I’m extremely sorry, there must be five shifts today, and all the hard work I owe will be paid off in the next few days.  Sorry.  (This website (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 114: Reorganization and Dressing

    Mr. Zhang was so handsome that he almost went crazy. After Zhang Xinghan and others from Tongliao got the reply from Principal Jiang, they all laughed from ear to ear.  . In the headquarters, Huang Xiansheng's hearty laughter rang out: "Haha, Principal Jiang is finally wise this time. I want to congratulate you, Xinghan. You have been promoted to lieutenant general and division commander in a blink of an eye." Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood and said with a smile:  "I hope we can work together in the future to fight against national crises." "Of course." Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others nodded.  "Chief of Staff, please count the number of personnel in each regiment, and then report it to Nanjing. We will officially start reorganization tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan said to Zhao Zhenfan.  “Yes.”……………………… At ten o’clock in the morning the next day, Zhang Xinghan ordered the five infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments, and the artillery, baggage, guard, and other units directly under the garrison brigade in the Tongliao area.  A total of more than 15,000 people gathered in the open space beside the Xiliao River to start the official expansion meeting of the Tongliao reading force division.  At the conference, Zhang Xinghan officially issued an order to reorganize the troops after speaking about some inspiring national righteousness as usual.  After the reorganization, the five infantry regiments were reduced into four. Each regiment has three infantry battalions, and one company each for troops, baggage, artillery, cavalry, guards, and communications directly under the regiment.  Each infantry battalion has three infantry companies and one artillery platoon. The infantry company is organized according to the normal organization, with three platoons and nine squads.  The artillery platoon directly under the battalion is temporarily equipped with some Japanese 70- and 75-caliber artillery captured from Shenyang, with three to four guns in each row.  Infantry squads, each squad has an mg34 general-purpose machine gun and a 60mm mortar as fire support, and other soldiers are all equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles.  In addition, the cavalry company directly under the regiment is responsible for the combat mission of the reconnaissance company, and the artillery company is equipped with four to six 105mm German howitzers.  The four infantry regiments are numbered 701, 702, 703, and 704 respectively.  The leaders are: Liu Jianguo of the 701st Regiment, Liu Guodong, the deputy leader, Wang Yicai, the deputy leader of the 702nd Regiment, and Gao Chu, the deputy leader.  Regiment 703 Wang Tiehan, deputy commander Du Ting.  Zhang Shixian, the leader of the 704 regiment, and Li Dajun, the deputy leader.  As for the cavalry, except for some units that were transferred and organized into units directly under the four regiments, the rest were unified into one regiment, directly under the command of the division headquarters, and the regiment leader was Sabli.  The original armored cavalry company, all cavalry were assigned to Sabli's cavalry regiment, the armored tank company's temporary organization remains unchanged, and the company commander is still Li Zhenyuan.  The artillery battalion transferred some backbones and some of the original artillery of the 620th and 619th regiments to form artillery companies directly under each regiment.  The remaining ones were retained by Zhang Xinghan to prepare for expansion into an artillery regiment.  The original staff of the communications company remains unchanged, but Su Hanyun was promoted to deputy commander of the communications company due to her outstanding work ability.  The establishment of the original guard battalion remains unchanged, and the battalion commander is still Guo Zhong.  The Air Force has also been reorganized, officially designated as the Anti-Japanese Flying Group, and has five squadrons, three fighter squadrons, one dive Stuka bomber squadron and one He111 medium bomber squadron.  The number of fighter aircraft remains unchanged, the group leader is still held by Gao Zhihang, and Liu Cuigang is promoted to deputy group leader and captain of the first fighter squadron.  After the reorganization of the five infantry regiments, there was nearly one more regiment of troops. Zhang Xinghan selected the best from them and transferred some of them to Shen Xingye, ordering him to form a special agent force similar to that of the military commander.  Helping him to monitor the regiments and camps, as well as spy on the enemy's situation, etc., it is easier for Zhang Xinghan to control the entire division. Of course, this unit was secretly formed and is nominally a reconnaissance company directly under the division headquarters.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan established a reading force battalion of 800 people. Chen Feng, the former commander of the first battalion and company of the second garrison brigade, was appointed as the commander of the reading force battalion, specifically responsible for guarding Tongliao Airport.  Others were transferred to the artillery battalion and the aviation team according to their respective potentials. After completing the reorganization, Zhang Xinghan and Huang Xiansheng immediately transferred Wang Yicai's 702 Regiment and Wang Tiehan's 703 Regiment to go to Qinglong Mountain to build a defense line.  Because the artillery regiment is still in the process of expansion, it remains in the base area for the time being.  The reading force division has just completed the reorganization, and Xie Wu and other miners have also returned from Huolin River.  Inside the division headquarters, Xie Wu and his cousin Xie Yong walked in under the leadership of Guo Zhong.  "Sir." When Xie and Wu saw Zhang Xinghan, they felt very cordial and immediately stood up to salute him, which was not a standard military salute.  "Oh, brother Xie, how are you back? Is there any coal in Huolin River?" Zhang Xinghan stood up and greeted.  Speaking of coal, Xie Wu and Xie Yong both looked excited and said, "Reporting to the officer, the Huolin River is simply an excellent natural coal mine. According to the local people, the wells they dug can produce many  This shows how rich the coal resources are here and unlike Benxi.??The coal seams are shallow and easy to mine. Sir, please send people to mine as soon as possible.  "    "Yeah?  "Zhang Xinghan pretended to be excited and looked back at Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng. The Xie brothers nodded vigorously. "Master, in this case, let's set up a mine as soon as possible.  "Huang Xiansheng was also quite excited. He stood up and said to Zhang Xinghan. "Yeah.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Xie Wu: "Xie Wu, I have decided to open a mine in Huolin River immediately. You will be the director of the mine and help me mine coal with all my strength."  "    "ah?  I?  "Xie Wu was obviously surprised and at a loss. He pointed at himself and looked unsure of himself. He hesitated and said: "Sir, I can't do it. I'm just a miner. How can I be a mine manager?  " "I say you can do it, you can do it. No one can mine or be a mine owner from birth. Open-pit mining in Huolinhe Coal Mine is very dangerous. You have enough time and opportunity to learn, progress and adapt.  new job.  Zhang Xinghan patted his shoulder very firmly and continued: "Work hard and dig more coal. It is also a contribution to the fight against Japan. I am optimistic about you."  " "Yes, thank you sir for your kindness. I can't repay Xie Wu. I will definitely work hard."  "Xie Wu stood up and saluted with tears in his eyes. "Okay, you go back and prepare first. Inform the miners that they are preparing to leave for Huolin River. Tell everyone that anyone who is willing to work in the new mine will be given high salary and preferential treatment. Everyone  Five oceans a month. In the future, when the family comes to live together, the coal needed will be free.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered. "Yes.  "Xie Wu and Xie Yong saluted at the same time, turned and left with gratitude. "Chief of Staff, please inform the cavalry regiment and ask Sabli to send a battalion to escort the miners to the Huolin River, and then station them on the spot at the Huolin River.  , to protect the safety of miners.  In addition, young and middle-aged people are recruited from the people of each town. As long as they are willing to go to the Huolinhe Mine to help with mining, the coal they need at home will be supplied free of charge, with each person receiving three oceans per month.  "After watching the Xie brothers leave, Zhang Xinghan turned to Zhao Zhenfan and said. "Well, I'll make arrangements right away.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded in response. "In order to facilitate mining, Zhang Xinghan transferred more than a hundred military trucks to the mine for use. The next day, Zhao Zhenfan was busy recruiting laborers to work in the mine. Accompanied by Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan came to Hedong, Xiliao  Last night, Zhang Xinghan quietly added a batch of new equipment to the armored company and artillery battalion, mainly replacing the outdated armored vehicles produced by the Shenyang Arsenal.  As the artillery suppression force in the future, Zhang Xinghan was determined to strengthen the artillery battalion, so he equipped the entire artillery regiment with forty 105mm howitzers. Surrounded by Guo Zhong and other guards, the two men marched along the river bank.  First, we arrived at the armored company’s station. Suddenly, Huang Xiansheng was shocked by the sight in front of him. Nearly a hundred officers and soldiers of the armored company were discussing something excitedly around several large iron trucks.  ?  "Huang Xiansheng pointed forward and turned around in surprise. "It's a new type of tank, called the No. 3 tank.  " Zhang Xinghan said. " Tank No. 3?  "Huang Xiansheng was surprised and walked quickly towards a tank. Armored company commander Li Zhenyuan and several armored soldiers quickly saluted: "Deputy division seat.  Huang Xiansheng waved to them casually, walked around the tank, and said in shock: "Master, why is this tank so big? It is much bigger than the Renault tank we are equipped with."  " "Of course, this Panzer III weighs 22.7 tons and is equipped with a 50mm caliber tank gun and two mg34 general-purpose machine guns. Its armor protection capability and firepower are more than twice as advanced as the Renault tank.  "Zhang Xinghan said quite proudly. Suddenly, Huang Xiansheng seemed to have thought of something. He pulled Zhang Xinghan aside and asked in a low voice: "Xinghan, tell me the truth, where did you get these tanks?  Why didn't I know this beforehand?  " Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and explained seriously: "Brother Jingzhong, to be honest, these are new tanks that I asked my father to secretly purchase from Russia through connections. In addition, there are also a batch of large-caliber artillery.  "In order to ensure the smooth flow of this road, and for the sake of our future anti-Japanese plan, we hope that Brother Jingzhong will help keep it secret and never leak it.  " Huang Xiansheng nodded doubtfully and said: "Don't worry, I know the relationship.  "After the artillery regiment and armored company were reorganized. The armored company stayed in Tongliao, and the artillery regiment immediately went to Qinglong Mountain to strengthen the combat power of the 703 and 702 regiments. &nbsp; In the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Guo Zhong, left the division headquarters and took a bus to the foot of the mountain in the northern section of Tongliao Town.  This is a mountainous area at the southern foot of the Daxingan Mountains, with high mountains and dense forests. Nowadays, the mountains here are covered with heavy snow and everything is white.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan got out of the car, two elite soldiers wearing white cloaks and fully armed jumped out of their bunkers at the foot of the mountain.  Because of their extremely fast speed, Guo Zhong and others thought they were enemies and quickly drew their guns.  Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand to block them: "Don't be nervous, they are one of our own." Guo Zhong and others then put down their weapons, and the two soldiers walked side by side towards Zhang Xinghan. When they came forward, they stood up to attention and saluted: "Master's seat  "Well, where is your company commander?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a nod.  "In a mountain camp." One of the soldiers answered.  "Lead the way." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  The two soldiers agreed and immediately led Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong into the mountain.  (To be continued) q

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 115: A mule or a horse

    Along the winding mountain road, stepping on the insufficient snow, Zhang Xinghan and his party entered the mountain forest under the leadership of two soldiers.  . The route taken by the two soldiers along the way puzzled Guo Zhong and the several guards accompanying him.  But Zhang Xinghan saw it in his eyes, and after stopping to observe carefully, he showed a knowing smile.  Through the various traps and booby traps set up in the mountain, it can be seen that the elite soldiers assigned to Shen Xingye are quite capable.  If you use it to deal with ordinary enemies, of course it will be invincible.  But from the perspective of Zhang Xinghan, a top special forces soldier, they are still far from being truly qualified.  It’s no wonder, because although they are all good players in various armies, the knowledge and training they received is still too backward in the eyes of a time traveler like me.  It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xinghan decided to take time to assist Shen Xingye in teaching them some training methods and combat skills for later generations of special forces.  Guide them to complete the training as soon as possible and become qualified agents who can be satisfied with the war at this time, including espionage combat.  Use it for yourself as soon as possible.  Of course, in addition to this, Zhang Xinghan’s arrival also has a very important purpose, which is to win over people’s hearts.  With such a key force, Zhang Xinghan must absolutely ensure their loyalty to him and firmly hold them in his hands.  For these elites who were the best in the original army, financial win-over is a must, but impressing them with their personal strength and charm can further ensure their loyalty and respect for themselves.  Because no matter where or in any country, the strong are respected in the army.  Led by two soldiers, the secret sentries set up by Shen Xingye on the way were all allowed. Zhang Xinghan and the others passed without hindrance, and arrived at the temporary training base of the agents after about half an hour.  At this time, Shen Xingye was training more than a hundred agents on their unarmed fighting skills.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong and others arriving, Shen Xingye hurriedly ran to greet them, stood up and saluted: "Master." "Well, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xinghan looked at Shen Xingye and the hundreds of agents behind him.  They nodded.  "Yizhi, why are you all wearing so little? Isn't it cold?" Guo Zhong couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw that Shen Xingye and the hundreds of soldiers present were all wearing close-fitting clothing, not even winter military uniforms.  Just when Shen Xingye was about to answer, Zhang Xinghan said first: "Soldiers should have a will of steel and a strong body. They will be the most elite and powerful elites of my force reading division in the future. What does this coldness mean?"  , Zhang Xinghan stepped towards the agents who had stopped training and formed five columns.  I saw that each of them was strong, tall, and had thick and long arms. Although they only wore a close-fitting garment, there was no trace of coldness in their faces.  When Zhang Xinghan slowly glanced at each of them, he straightened his back and chest involuntarily.  "Well, judging from your mental outlook, you have the aura of an elite!" Zhang Xinghan praised first, then changed his tone and said suddenly: "However, in my opinion, you are still a damn long way from being truly elite.  Stay away! They are all worthless trash!" "These people are always thorns in their respective armies. Even their commanders are very protective of them. Who would dare to question them face to face?  Of course, they do have the ability to be respected by Paoze and loved by their superiors.  Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan seemed to be very angry and questioned their ability.  Some veterans with more impulsive personalities said unconvincedly: "Master, as the saying goes, we have to pull it out to know whether it is a mule or a horse. You have never tried us, how do you know that we are useless?"  "That's right." These words resonated with other agents, and they all echoed.  Shen Xingye immediately opened his eyes and shouted loudly: "What are you arguing about? Who told you to talk? Shut the hell up!" As soon as Shen Xingye said this, the agents fell silent, obviously showing great respect for him, which also showed that  He has already established prestige in the hearts of these people.  Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand to stop Shen Xingye, and said with a smile to the burly soldier who took the lead in speaking: "You are right, we have to pull it out to know whether it is a mule or a horse, but do you dare to come out and try?" Face to face  Zhang Xinghan asked with interest, and the burly soldier said without hesitation: "Master, if you don't believe it, besides our company commander, you can ask the guards to come over and try." Guo Zhong was not angry after hearing this and stepped forward. Zhang Xinghan  She stretched out her hand to stop him, still smiling at him.The soldier said: "You don't need my guards, I will fight with you. As long as whoever can knock me down today, I will reward you with one hundred oceans each. In addition, I will promote him to the deputy commander of the reconnaissance company. "Master, speak.  count!  "The burly soldier said excitedly with his eyes shining, as if the position of deputy company commander and a hundred oceans were already in his pocket. "A gentleman's words are hard to chase.  "As Zhang Xinghan said, he had already unbuttoned his military coat. After taking off the military coat, he took off the military uniform underneath, only wearing a thin white open-collar T-shirt. The general's coat and military uniform were handed over to Guo Zhong  , Zhang Xinghan took a step forward and waved his hand to the soldier: "Come on, whether you are a good player or a waste, we will see the truth under your hands.  " "Teacher, please think carefully. Our old man, Cheng, is very strong. We don't want to attack you too soon."  "The recruit came out. "What's your name?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Cheng Bin!  "The burly soldier replied. "Today our competition is all based on ability. If Cheng Bin hurts me, it is because I, Zhang, am not as skilled as others. I will never hold any responsibility afterwards.  After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he smiled and said to Cheng Bin: "How about this? Is this okay?"  You can do your best without any worries!  " "Okay, then our old Cheng is offended.  "Cheng Bin put on a posture as he spoke, clenching his hands, and the veins on his arms were bulging, and the muscles full of explosive power were clearly evident. Zhang Xinghan didn't say anything, and hooked his hand directly at him. Cheng Bin shouted and waved  The fist launched an attack on Zhang Xinghan. From Cheng Bin's footsteps, Zhang Xinghan could see that his foot was very stable, and there was a faint wind in his fist, which showed his great strength and speed. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Bin rushed to Zhang Xinghan.  His right fist hit Zhang Xinghan's face like lightning. Zhang Xinghan quickly tilted his head and snatched it away. Cheng Bin reacted very quickly. Almost at the same time that Zhang Xinghan was barely able to snatch away his first blow, his left fist hit Zhang Xinghan's face again.  Come on. Zhang Xinghan's right hand suddenly stretched out to block with lightning speed. There was a crisp sound, and Cheng Bin's extremely powerful left fist collided with Zhang Xinghan's right palm. In an instant, Cheng Bin felt like it.  His left fist hit a steel plate. As the force rebounded, a heartbreaking pain spread throughout his body. Cheng Bin was shocked and reacted very quickly.  The right fist suddenly turned into a palm knife and sliced ??across the left side of Zhang Xinghan's face. Zhang Xinghan did not dodge this time, but kicked out his right foot suddenly, hitting Cheng Bin in the abdomen. The huge force immediately knocked Cheng Bin back several steps, and the knife was thrown.  The attack was completely neutralized. Cheng Bin tried to steady his steps, held back his abdomen, and shook his sore arms. He looked at Zhang Xinghan, including Shen Xingye, who had not even taken a step in surprise.  The eyes of more than a hundred agents were filled with disbelief. How could the seemingly young, handsome, and elegant master be so powerful? He even got a hit from him.  In terms of fighting skills, their reconnaissance company is not ranked first, but second, because the first is their company commander Shen Xingye. Shen Xingye was also quite surprised, and admired Zhang Xinghan in his heart. He always thought that Zhang Xinghan might be good at fighting skills.  But that only refers to ordinary people. He has never thought that Zhang Xinghan is so powerful? Because he knows how strong Cheng Bin is. If he wants to defeat him with bare hands, he will need at least dozens of experts.  You can tell as soon as you make a move. From the previous round of fighting between Zhang Xinghan and Cheng Bin, Shen Xingye had already seen that Cheng Bin was no match for the master. He even vaguely felt that Zhang Xinghan didn't seem to be trying his best.  , he was in trouble this time, but he just gave up. He adjusted his breathing slightly, and shouted again, and rushed towards Zhang Xinghan. As soon as he took two steps, Cheng Bin shouted.  , jumped up, and swept his right leg towards Zhang Xinghan's head like a whip. To everyone's expectation, Zhang Xinghan was not passively defending at the moment Cheng Bin jumped up.  , he jumped up suddenly and rushed forward with his right leg. "Bah!"  "Another head-to-head strike. This time, Zhang Xinghan had no reservations and struck with all his strength. Cheng Bin was sent flying directly, spinning and falling to the ground. Cheng Bin couldn't keep his face, and he tried to stand up, but his right hand  His legs seemed to have lost consciousness, and they were so numb that they didn't obey any orders. Zhang Xinghan looked at everyone in shock., strode over, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, are you okay?" Cheng Bin looked up at Zhang Xinghan with complicated eyes, hesitated for a while, and stretched out his hand.  Zhang Xinghan pulled him up, patted his shoulder and said: "Brother, you are very good. You are a horse, not a mule. If you train harder in the future, I believe you will be able to grow into a good horse! In addition, the reconnaissance company  I’ll leave the position of deputy company commander to you.” Through the previous confrontation, Zhang Xinghan also knew that Cheng Bin’s skills were not weak.  There is still a gap between him and himself, but he still has a lot of room for improvement.  Cheng Bin looked at Zhang Xinghan somewhat unexpectedly, but Zhang Xinghan turned his attention to the remaining agents, still smiling and said: "Which of you still wants to come out and give it a try?" (To be continued) q

    "No need to compete." Cheng Bin suddenly said.  Looking at his comrades and then at Zhang Xinghan, Cheng Bin said: "Master was right just now. We are still damn far away from the real elites. I was convinced after the battle just now.  It's because we are too proud and ignorant." As soon as Cheng Bin said this, most of the other agents lowered their heads. They couldn't even defeat Cheng Bin, let alone fight Zhang Xinghan.  Cheng Bin’s failure was not his personal failure, but the failure of their entire reconnaissance company.  However, fighting alone obviously cannot convince everyone like Cheng Bin.  Zhang Xinghan was about to say something when a soldier who was not as tall as Cheng Bin walked out of the queue.  He said to Cheng Bin: "Cheng, when can you represent the entire reconnaissance company?" "What, Zhao Long, you fucking want to fight me?" Cheng Bin said dissatisfied.  The soldier named Zhao Long did not respond to Cheng Bin's challenge. Instead, he turned his head and said to Zhang Xinghan lukewarmly: "Master, I admit that your kung fu is very good. None of us can be your opponent. But  Since the advent of thermal weapons, the factor that determines the outcome of a battlefield has been purely personal martial arts. No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of being shot by a gun. Zhao Long did not overestimate his ability and wanted to ask his master for guidance on marksmanship.  I hope you will give me some advice." Zhang Xinghan was not angry, but smiled heartily: "Haha, that's good. Since the advent of various guns and weapons, the role of kung fu has been gradually reduced, but hand-to-hand combat is still the same.  Real skills are indispensable, but marksmanship is equally important. Since you are determined to compete with Ji Ru, then I will help you. "" Camp Commander Guo, bring me the gun." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Guo Zhong hurriedly asked two guards to bring up two Garand semi-automatic rifles and two submachine guns.  "What kind of gun are you planning to compete with?" Zhang Xinghan asked, holding a submachine gun in one hand and a Garand semi-automatic rifle in the other.  "There's no point in shooting at close range with a submachine gun. If you want to play with it, it's better to use a rifle." Zhao Long's tone revealed extreme confidence.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghan threw the semi-automatic rifle to Zhao Long, and picked up another semi-automatic rifle himself.  "Master, what target are you planning to hit?" Shen Xingye asked.  Zhao Long just wanted to talk about shooting snowballs, but Zhang Xinghan said lightly: "Of course it's a moving target. On the battlefield, it's impossible for the enemy to stand still and let you shoot."  ." Shen Xingye led his men and quickly set up several moving targets.  The so-called moving target is nothing more than a few soldiers holding branches and constantly moving back and forth.  Zhao Long raised his prepared semi-automatic rifle and fired. With a gunshot, the branch held by a soldier about 150 meters away broke in the middle.  "Okay!" From a distance of 150 meters, one shot hit the moving branch. This kind of shooting is absolutely superb. You must know that the branch is only a little thicker, but it is still moving. The agents of the reconnaissance company cheered in unison.  .  "Yes, good marksmanship. Even someone who can defeat an enemy at a hundred steps can only do so." Zhang Xinghan nodded in praise. Under the gaze of Zhao Long and other agents, he opened the safety, pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the chamber.  It may have been caused by Zhao Long's gunfire. At this time, a frightened bird suddenly flew up from a poplar tree not far away.  When Zhang Xinghan saw it, he immediately raised his gun and aimed it, and decisively pulled the trigger at three o'clock and one line.  "Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded, echoing in the forest for a long time.  The bird fell down in response.  ??Including Zhao Long, all the agents looked at the place where the bird fell and where Zhang Xinghan was. All the agents were stunned.  Because they visually inspected it, the distance in between must be at least nearly two hundred meters.  From a distance of two hundred meters, one shot hit the flying bird. This shot was obviously much more powerful than Zhao Long's.  Because of the branches moving back and forth and the birds in flight, the difficulty of the two is completely incomparable, not to mention the extra distance of nearly fifty meters.  Zhang Xinghan put the Garand rifle on his shoulder, turned to Zhao Long with a smile and said, "How about we compete again?" Zhao Long, who was in shock, came to his senses immediately after hearing this, blushing and hesitating.  Know what to say.  He has always been proud of his marksmanship. On the battlefield, not one hundred but eighty Japanese died under his gun.  But today, like Cheng Bin, he was severely hit by Zhang Xinghan's monster-like strength  "What's the matter, Zhao Long, why are you still not convinced after losing to the master? Do you still look like a man? If you dare to compete, you can afford to lose." Seeing Zhao Long lower his head and remain silent, Cheng Bin took the opportunity to ask sarcastically.  "Who said I can't afford to lose?" Zhao Long raised his head with a red face and said with some lack of confidence: "I just didn't expect that Master Jingran is proficient in marksmanship and fighting. I didn't say it before, Master, I, Zhao Long, am convinced that I lost."  "If you have the chance, please teach me how to improve my shooting skills." "Haha, that's right. If you lose, you lose," Cheng Bin took the opportunity to laugh.  "Zhao Long, your marksmanship is really outstanding. As long as you train diligently, you will be able to surpass me in time." Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to comfort him.  "Well, thank you Master for your encouragement." Zhao Long nodded gratefully, looking at Zhang Xinghan with less arrogance and more admiration.  In the following time, Zhang Xinghan carefully instructed the agents in combat skills and shooting methods one by one, and then handed over to Shen Xingye the various training methods he learned in later generations.  After finishing all this, it was already dark, Zhang Xinghan led Guo Zhong and others and hurriedly went down the mountain.  Shen Xingye personally went down the mountain to see him off. On the way down, Zhang Xinghan had to give Shen Xingye face-to-face instructions. He should timely instill the idea of ??loyalty to himself in the agents, and gradually brainwash them so that they can be completely used by him.  When taking the Gup car with the guards back to Tongliao Division Headquarters.  Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xianshengjing were both in the division headquarters, and they both looked anxious. They had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng stood up to greet him and said eagerly: "Master, you are back." "What's wrong? What's the emergency?" Zhang Xinghan asked doubtfully.  "In the evening, we just received news from Nanjing claiming to be that 12 Japanese reinforcements of more than 300,000 troops have landed in Lushun. The message reminded us that we must strengthen preparations to prevent Japan from entering heavy troops.  Attack." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Japan came in really quickly." Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised after hearing this.  "That's right. The 12 divisions have more than 300,000 soldiers. I think it won't be long before we have a fierce battle." Huang Xiansheng said with concern on his brows.  "It's not that fast. An army of 300,000, especially if it comes from Japan across the sea, can't even be completed in just three to five days just to land and assemble. In addition, Japan also needs to prepare a large amount of food, grass and ammunition."  , gasoline and other logistical supplies, and Dalian and Tongliao are nearly 700 kilometers apart. Even if the Japanese march at full speed, they will not be able to arrive in a while. Even if the Japanese reinforcements march desperately, it will not pose a big threat to me. One thousand.  If they don't make sufficient logistical preparations for the many miles of supply lines in advance, they will be out of food and fuel before they reach Tongliao, let alone fight in the Northeast.  , is our homeland. If the Japanese do not consolidate the cities and counties along the way, they will not be able to ensure the smooth flow of logistics supplies. Therefore, the Japanese will not be able to defeat it in a short time, which means that we still have at least a month.  Preparation time. "Master, I think we need to recruit troops quickly. Our troops are still a little too small.  " Zhao Zhenfan suggested. "Yeah.  Zhang Xinghan nodded: "We are going to continue recruiting troops and expand the army."  " "Xinghan, in one month, for us, even if we can recruit troops, there will not be enough time for training. In my opinion, we must have at least three more months of preparation time, unless we can recruit  to a large number of veterans with combat experience.  "Huang Xiansheng still looked solemn. "A veteran with combat experience?  It's impossible to recruit this easily. There are many active troops, but if the young commander doesn't resist, there's no way he can be counted on.  "Zhao Zhenfan said. "In this case, we can only delay the time for the Japanese army to gather and attack as much as possible. Regarding Xinghan, can we send the air force to attack Dalian?  Especially the Japanese military port of Lushun.  That is an important port for Japan to gather troops and supplies. If we can carry out successive large-scale air strikes and bombings there, it will certainly be able to slow down the speed at which Japan gathers supplies and troops, thereby buying us more time.  " Huang Xiansheng said suddenly. Zhao Zhenfan also suddenly remembered and looked at Zhang Xinghan eagerly. Obviously bombing is the best way at the moment. "It's okay to send out the air force, but" Zhang Xinghan frowned and hesitated. "But what?  "Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan asked one after another. "However, the BF109 fighter planes equipped by our flying brigade have a maximum range of only 700 kilometers. Even if they fly toEven the aircraft cannot return home, so its combat radius cannot provide full air escort for our bombers.  Without the escort of fighter jets, if the bombers go to bomb Dalian, not only will they not be successful, but the entire army may also be annihilated.  "Zhang Xinghan expressed his worries. At the same time, he also deeply felt that the fighter he chose could no longer meet the current combat needs. Of course, in close-range and high-altitude combat, the bf109 is still extremely outstanding in all aspects, but it only has three hundred  The multi-kilometer combat radius has become its biggest weakness. If he were on the offensive side, it would be better. He could move the air force's forward base along with the battlefield at any time, but now he is on the defensive and wants to carry out strategic bombing against the Japanese army.  , you have to replace it with a new fighter aircraft that has a powerful range and other characteristics that can suppress the Japanese army. It is not difficult to replace the fighter aircraft. The aircraft options in your watch game include various famous aircraft during World War II, even those in the late World War II.  There are also various aircraft. But those production options are gray and the display has not been turned on. Zhang Xinghan has been busy with the Shenyang war and has not calmed down to study how to upgrade and activate the more advanced weapons that are in gray.  Equipment. Therefore, replacing fighter planes is not a problem. The key is that Zhang Xinghan has to find a better source for these new fighters.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 117: Zero Fighter

    "Then can we find a way to replace a batch of fighter jets?" Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan with meaning.  "Well, I'll go back to my father to see if I can rely on my connections to buy a batch of new fighter planes. Anyway, we still have a lot of gold and oceans that we borrowed from the Shenyang Marshal's Mansion and the bank. It's really not possible. My father has been in business for many years.  My family is well off, so I think we can pay it in advance and we can pay it off with coal later." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said thoughtfully.  It is indeed a good idea to use coal to pay off the debt. In the future, there will be an opportunity to mortgage the excess coal to my father and his merchants in the form of debt repayment.  It is also a good way to make money by letting him come forward and use his business connections and methods to sell or export.  “ Combined with the future tax and other income from the base area, I will be able to pay the officers and soldiers myself.  In addition to coal, you can also export weapons and equipment that are not enough to pose a threat to you to other warlords or countries. For example, the large amount of weapons and equipment stored in Shenyang Arsenal, as well as the captured Japanese weapons, can be sold for money.  You can also make money.  This is what Zhang Xinghan thought in his heart.  “Master’s father, is there any way to get a plane?” Zhao Zhenfan was a little surprised.  "Yes, Chief of Staff, have you forgotten that my father has been in business for many years, and when the commander-in-chief was in charge of the Northeast, my father also had many connections with Russia in his dealings," Zhang Xinghan said.  After hearing this, Zhao Zhenfan nodded unequivocally: "That's true, Master's family is a wealthy businessman in the Northeast. The Zhang family's business is spread across the three northeastern provinces. It is reasonable for Russia to enter. However, Master, since the Middle East Road  After the incident, we have almost cut off our trade relations with the Soviet Union. Is your father's approach still feasible? " "Chief of Staff, there is a saying that money can make trouble. I think you must have heard of it."  Put on a mysterious smile.  Zhao Zhenfan nodded in disbelief.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "Chief of Staff, we are in urgent need of recruiting troops to expand our troops. From tomorrow, you will be responsible for recruiting troops from Tongliao and surrounding counties and villages, as well as tribes in the grasslands in the west. We must recruit more recruits as soon as possible.  , In order to expand our troops, we can be invincible in the next possible battle." "Okay, don't worry, leave it to me." Zhao Zhenfan nodded immediately.  "Brother Jing Zhong, I will go home and discuss it with my father first, and let him find a way to see if he can help us purchase a new fighter plane." Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xiansheng.  "Well, be careful on the road. If you can buy it, buy more fighter planes with a long range." Huang Xiansheng instructed.  After bidding farewell to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan, Zhang Xinghan left the division headquarters with Guo Zhong and a guard squad.  However, he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he found a remote woods, excused himself to relieve himself, and went in alone.  With no one around, Zhang Xinghan took out the multifunctional watch he always carried close to his body.  Opening the aircraft option in the game, Zhang Xinghan began to browse and select fighters.  Since bf109 is limited by its range, Zhang Xinghan’s choice this time was entirely based on range.  Soon, two fighter jets came into view.  To be precise, these are two carrier-based fighter jets.  Zhang Xinghan enlarged their pictures and saw clearly the models of these two fighters.  They are the Zero carrier-based fighter produced by Japan and the F6F carrier-based fighter produced by the United States.  As for these two fighter jets, there are also more advanced American-made F4U carrier-based fighter jets, P51 Mustang Army Aviation fighter jets, and German Me109 fighter jets.  But they are not yet in gray state and have not yet been unblocked.  Zhang Xinghan didn't care about the more advanced fighters because he knew that the Zero and F6F were advanced enough.  This can be seen from their service years. The Zero fighter officially entered service with the Japanese army in 1940, that is, nine years later, while the F6f was even later, in 1943.  After much thought, Zhang Xinghan decided to use the Zero fighter. First of all, it was lagging behind the F6F, even if it was captured in future battles.  Zhang Xinghan did not have to be afraid of the Japanese army acquiring and producing the Type Zero in advance, because the F6F fighter, known as the Type Zero killer, was ready to go into battle at any time.  Furthermore, the Zero has a greater range than the F6F, a full 3,000 kilometers, and a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, which is enough to cover the entire Northeast region.  Although other types of performance are not as good as the F6F, they are an era ahead of the Type 91 and Type 95, the most advanced fighters of the Japanese army at this time.  It is completely sufficient to deal with any emergencies and various air battles of the Japanese Air Force at this stage. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?In addition, the Zero not only has a long range and a large bomb load, but can also be used as a bomber, killing two birds with one stone.  Furthermore, from a Chinese perspective, there is nothing more satisfying than using Japan's own later-produced aircraft to deal with the current Japanese Air Force and bomb their ground targets.  After deciding to use the Zero fighter, Zhang Xinghan immediately put on his watch, walked out of the woods, and walked straight towards his home in Tongliao Town with Guo Zhong and other guards.  After returning home, he had a brief talk with his father. Zhang Xinghan asked him to cooperate with him in pretending to have trade relations with the Soviet Union, and told him that the future sales of minerals in the entire base area and seized weapons and equipment would bring unimaginable consequences to the Zhang family.  of wealth.  Of course, his father, who was originally a businessman, fully supported his son's anti-Japanese actions.  Everything was ready. Two days later, Zhang Xinghan received news from his father that the new fighter jet had been "bought", but he had to go to the Sino-Soviet border to receive the goods.  "Brother Jing Zhong, Brother Guoping, the newly purchased fighter planes are about to arrive at the border. In order to help General Li Du, the envoy of Yilan Guard, defeat the rebels in Changchun, I decided to personally lead the team to Harbin and solve the problems of Xiqia and Gu first.  Let's talk about the excitement of these idiots. "While I am away, the safety of the base area will be entrusted to you." Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan in the division headquarters with a serious look.  "Xinghan, how about I lead a team to reinforce the Yilan garrison, and transport the plane back by the way. You stay in the base area." Huang Xiansheng said kindly.  "No, these planes can only be flown back by our pilots in person. They cannot be transported. In addition, the situation in Gulin is complicated, so I have to go in person." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and rejected Huang Xiansheng's kindness.  ……………After arranging everything in the base area, Zhang Xinghan left Tongliao with Sabli’s cavalry regiment, Liu Cuigang and more than 20 pilots, crossed the Xiliao River north, and headed straight for Songyuan  .  After Wu Yao’s journey, they arrived at Songyuan City and unexpectedly discovered a Northeastern Army of less than 2,000 men stationed in Songyuan.  After being sent to inquire, Zhang Xinghan learned that the people stationed in Songyuan were not other people. It was the counterattack in the Battle of Changchun that caused the failure of the Yilan garrison and other aiding troops. The big Han provoked Ding Chao's duli.  The remnants of the 28th Brigade.  After a month or two of recuperation, Ding Chao recruited a group of new soldiers in the Songyuan area and restored the army to a regiment.  The arrival of Zhang Xinghan surprised Ding Chao, but when he learned that the enemy troops outside the city were all cavalry and lacked heavy weapons, Ding Chao's heart was relieved.  South of Songyuan City, the temporary resting place of the cavalry regiment.  The commander of the cavalry regiment, Sabli, was very angry and asked Zhang Xinghan to fight: "Master, Ding Chao, this traitor, killed countless compatriots who were aiding Shenzhou. He was punished when he got the chance. Today, we bumped into him. How can we just do it?"  Are you ready to give up? " "Commander Sa, don't worry. We currently lack the heavy weapons needed to attack the city, and our troops are all cavalry. If we attack Songyuan by force, we may not be able to attack it, and it may cause heavy casualties to the troops. "  Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Master, our cavalry regiment can also dismount and attack the city on foot. As long as you give the order, I will personally lead the entire regiment to attack the city to the death. We will surely capture Songyuan City and cut off the head of this bastard Ding Chao as a memorial.  The anti-Japanese compatriots who were killed by him," Sabli said emotionally.  Seeing that Sabli was excited, and considering that Songyuan is an important town on the south bank of the Nen River, if this place is not captured, it will not be conducive to the next operation.  Zhang Xinghan finally nodded and said: "But don't be impatient. I will equip you with some siege weapons after Yaohei and then attack." "We still have to wait until Yaohei?" Sabli is also impatient.  "Wait, we have to wait. Training a cavalry is more difficult than training an infantry. Bai Yao's attack target is large and the casualties are high. If your regiment commander doesn't take the lives of his men seriously, I can't bear the unnecessary sacrifice of my brothers." Zhang  There was no doubt in Xinghan's tone.  Sabli could only lower his head and said, "Yes." In Songyuan City, in the compound of the 28th Brigade Headquarters.  Ding Chao was pacing back and forth impatiently when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Have the Northeastern cavalry outside the city withdrawn?"  "Retreat?" the adjutant said cautiously, having already been frightened after the battle in Changchun.  "Fart, they are all cavalry. If we leave the city, it will play into their hands. As long as we defend the city defense, they will be unable to do anything to us without heavy weapons. As time goes by, they will naturally retreat." Ding Chao shouted angrily.  At this moment, a deafening shelling explosion suddenly sounded outside the city. ??Ding Chao and his adjutant's faces changed drastically when they heard this, and not long after, a communications soldier hurried in.  Before he could salute, he said: "Brigade, what's wrong, the enemy troops outside the city are shelling." "What? Shelling?" Ding Chao was shocked, and the adjutant next to him turned pale with fear.  "Yes, listen to the noise, it was quite powerful. The south gate was almost destroyed by them." The communication soldier replied with a sad face and nodded.  "Let's go, follow me to the south gate." Ding Chao said immediately.  Although the adjutant was afraid, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the guards to follow Ding Chao towards the south of the city.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 118: Air Raid on Lushun

    Outside the south gate of Songyuan City, under the personal leadership of Zhang Xinghan, a dozen cavalrymen who were good at artillery were shelling the south gate with several 60mm mortars.  "Boom, boom, boom" After a muffled sound, shells roared towards the south gate, enveloped by the fire.  But all the cannonballs hit the city walls and city walls and exploded.  The reason why the accuracy is so poor is of course Zhang Xinghan’s deliberate decision.  He didn’t want to cause unnecessary casualties to innocent people in the city because of these puppet troops.  The purpose of using artillery was not to break through the city defense of Duli 28th Brigade, but to create a deterrent effect on the defenders and force Ding Chao and his troops to abandon the city and escape.  Regarding the origin of several 60mm mortars, Sabli, whose mind had been filled with anger, did not think of asking.  As for other ordinary soldiers, they only have the responsibility to execute orders. Where the weapons and equipment come from, they are obviously not qualified to ask.  After five rounds of firing, under Zhang Xinghan's instruction, the artillery stopped the bombardment. A soldier with a loud voice was sent out and shouted at the top of the South Gate city at the top of his voice: "The puppet troops on the city, listen.  , we are the savior division. For the sake of you all still being Chinese, our division does not want Songyuan to bleed into a river of blood. We should immediately put down our weapons, leave the city, surrender, and accept the adaptation. Otherwise, we will attack the city and destroy it.  After the city, it will be too late to surrender. "The smoke had not cleared and the fire was not extinguished. On the top of the south gate city, the panicked puppet soldiers suddenly thought of the slogan outside the city and suddenly started to stir.  At this time, Ding Chao arrived with his adjutant and a group of guards.  The psychological offensive outside the city was still going on. After hearing this, the adjutant said to Ding Chao with a sad face: "Sergeant, what should we do? Why don't we surrender?" "Shut the hell up, you idiot.  Oh, didn't you hear that Zhang Xinghan's troops are outside the city? This bastard never takes prisoners when he goes into battle with the Japanese. If we surrender, will we still survive?" Ding Chao slapped the adjutant angrily.  "But if we don't surrender, can we survive? This Duli Division has been beaten to pieces by them. I heard that they still have an air force. Even if we can hold on tonight, if we wait until dawn, Zhang Xinghan will mobilize  If the air force comes to bomb, the brothers will definitely not be able to stop it," the adjutant said with a sad face, covering the left side of his face that was hit.  The adjutant's words inadvertently reminded Ding Chao that Zhang Xinghan still had the air force. If he was determined to attack Songyuan, he would not be able to defend it no matter what.  Surrender to Zhang Xinghan?  Ding Chao didn't even dare. Knowing Zhang Xinghan's iron-blooded methods to deal with the Japanese, Ding Chao shuddered.  Yao knows whether he can forgive his violent behavior?  Not daring to surrender and having no intention of resisting, Ding spontaneously came up with the best idea, which was to retreat.  After pondering for a long time, he gave instructions to his subordinates who were left behind to guard the south gate, asking him to guard the south gate no matter what.  He hurriedly evacuated the south gate with his adjutants and guards, returned to the brigade headquarters, hurriedly took some belongings, and fled to the north of the city in a hurry.  The reason why they fled to the north of the city was because the Nenjiang River was more than thirty kilometers north of the city. Shen looked at the Nenjiang River basin and it had not yet frozen. As long as they crossed the Nenjiang River, they would be safe.  With some of his subordinates from the North Gate and the Brigade Headquarters, Ding Chao escaped from the North Gate in a hurry.  Just as Yu was escaping at night, suddenly there was a piercing scream in front of him. Under the surprised gaze of Ding Chao and his men, one after another flares rose into the sky.  A dazzling white light burst out, illuminating the night like daylight in an instant.  Immediately afterwards, bursts of deafening hoofbeats came from far and near in front of them, running wildly.  With the blazing light of the flares, Ding Chao and his puppet soldiers could clearly see the bright sabers that the cavalry was constantly waving in their hands.  "Shoot, shoot!" Ding Chao said sadly at the top of his lungs.  However, his subordinates were all scared out of their wits and had no intention of fighting. They fired machine guns sporadically and subconsciously, but they were unable to stop the surging torrent of cavalry.  The cavalry was very fast. In the blink of an eye, Sabuli, with red eyes, raised his saber high and led his men to drown Ding Chao and other remnants in the torrent of cavalry.  The sharp saber slashed again and again, and with the help of the sprint of the war horses, the heads of the puppet soldiers were easily chopped off and thrown high.  Ding Chao was also beheaded by Sabuli himself. The body was found in a different place. Where the head was severed, hot and dark red blood spurted out and sprayed all over Sabuli. The white war horse under his crotch was also injured.  Blood stained half of it red.  The whole person and the war horse are like a bloodthirsty murderer returning from hell, especially penetrating.  Out of hatred for Ding Chaohan's radical behavior, Sabli did not order his troops to attack Ding Chao after hacking him to death.??Stop attacking.  Rather, they did not stop until all the remnants of Ding Chao who had escaped from the north gate were slaughtered.  There is no other reason. To be able to abandon the city and flee with Ding Chao must be a die-hard loyal Han Jiān.  They all bear the blood debt of thousands of officers and soldiers who aided Shen Shen. Blood debts must be repaid with blood. This truth remains unchanged.  When Sabli led the cavalry to bring Ding Chao's head outside the south gate, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. The commander of the south gate immediately ordered his men to put down their weapons and leave the city to surrender to the Duli Division.  “Are you kidding? The brigade commander was beheaded, and he still resisted.  Speaking of loyalty, Ding Chao left them as cannon fodder to block the attack, and fled the city with his cronies, abandoning them without caring about their lives. Why should they remain loyal to Ding Chao.  What's more, many of the new recruits are new recruits from Songyuan, and they are far from loyal to Ding Chao.  After taking Songyuan City easily, statistics showed that more than 1,500 puppet soldiers were captured.  After passing the screening, all the more than 300 members of the original 28th Brigade were given two yuan as travel expenses and sent home.  The remaining recruits were all reorganized into the Songyuan Duli Regiment by Zhang Xinghan on the spot, and a cavalry battalion was left behind to control the situation.  Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan and Sabli led a cavalry battalion and Liu Cuigang and other pilots left Songyuan and headed north to Harbin along the Nen River.  After a long march, Zhang Xinghan and Sabli led their troops to Harbin.  After hearing the news, Zhao Zhenhe, deputy commander of the 24th Duli Brigade who stayed in Harbin, hurried out of the city to greet him in person, and sent a telegram notification to Li Du, who was still on the front line.  After entering the city, Zhao Zhenhe was very polite to Zhang Xinghan, not to mention the warm banquet he hosted.  At ten o’clock that night, Zhang Xinghan took Liu Cuigang and other pilots to a shop in Harbin.  This is the Harbin branch of Zhangjia Company. The owner is a loyal partner of Zhangjia Company.  During the time Zhang Xinghan came to Harbin, his father Zhang Yuxi had already contacted the branch manager for him.  The store manager followed Zhang Yuxi’s instructions and found several Russian businessmen in Harbin to pretend to be arms dealers dealing with the duli division.  The next day, Zhang Xinghan took the pilot and part of the cavalry and the few Russian businessmen on the China Eastern Railway train to the Sino-Soviet border in Suifenhe.  After arriving in Suifenhe, Zhang Xinghan found the person in charge of his own company Suifenhe under the leadership of Harbin Zhangjia Company.  He secretly found a solid road section for the plane to take off. The planes of this era were different from those of later generations.  As long as the ground is flat and smooth enough to bear the weight of the plane, the plane can take off successfully.  No matter whether the road is asphalt, cement or dirt.  But landing on a hard enough road surface is necessary, otherwise it is very likely to cause damage to the aircraft or even destroy it.  Zhang Xinghan quietly took out his watch and produced twenty-five Zero fighter jets.  Then he let in and informed Liu Cuigang to wait for the pilot to come and receive the fighter plane.  Liu Cuigang and the others can easily master the BF109, a new fighter aircraft, and the Zero fighter is also a no-brainer.  That afternoon, as Liu Cuigang successfully took off in the first Zero fighter, the test flights of other pilots were also successful.  In terms of maximum speed, the Zero is still slightly inferior to the BF109. The maximum speed is close to 600 kilometers per hour, but the difference is not big, and the control is easier. Soon Liu Cuigang was ordered to lead the other 24 pilots to fly all the Zero fighters back home.  Tongliao.  Zhang Xinghan, several cavalrymen and his own Harbin company took the train back to Harbin that evening.  After nearly two hours of flight, they successfully flew to Tongliao Airport and filled up the fuel with the help of ground crew.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang personally led the team on Zhang Xinghan's order, flying 25 Zeros, 30 He111 medium bombers, and 20 Stuka dive bombers.  Flying towards Lushun Military Port.  The straight-line flight distance between Tongliao and Dalian Lushun is more than 530 kilometers. According to the maximum flight speed of the Zero, it will take less than an hour to arrive.  However, in order to protect the slower-flying bombers, the pilots flying the Zero fighter lowered their speed.  After about an hour and a half of flight, the Duli Division’s mixed fleet arrived over Dalian.  In an instant, harsh air defense sirens sounded one after another at Dalian and Lushun military ports.  As well as tens of thousands of Japanese troops and a large number of Dalian citizens who had gathered ashore, Japanese overseas businessmen and merchants all became panicked.  Just land from RI's homeland to deploy with tens of thousands of reinforcements.?Dozens of Type 92 fighter jets among the first batch of more than one hundred Japanese aircraft at Dalian Airport hurriedly took off to intercept.  Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang each led more than ten fighter planes and happily faced the enemy.  Although they are both RI-type aircraft, the gap between the two sides is ten years and a whole generation.  Regardless of speed, firepower climbing ability, and turning radius, the Zero completely destroyed all Japanese military aircraft.  The result of such a battle can be imagined, as a Japanese plane was shot down and exploded.  Other pilots flew bombers towards the Japanese air defense firepower points and the busy military port.  Stuka dive bombers dealt with the Japanese air defense firepower points, while the He111 bomber group flew over the Lushun Military Port Pier under cover.  The magazine opened, and heavy aerial bombs began to fall one after another.  The sharp and ear-piercing sound of bombing began to resound over the Lushun Military Port.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 119: A Sea of ??Fire

    "Qiuqiuqiu" Sharp and piercing whistling sounds rang out, covering the entire sky above Lushun.  Heavy aerial bombs fell one after another, and the entire Lushun Military Port was suddenly in chaos.  The transport ships that were transporting supplies and soldiers to the dock started one after another, trying to turn around and escape.  The Japanese soldiers who had already landed on the dock and the heavy troops carrying supplies were running around to avoid them.  "Boomboomboom, boom, boom" As the first aerial bomb fell and exploded, huge and ear-splitting explosions sounded one after another.  The violent explosion on the water set off terrifying waves. Under the huge shock wave, the transport ships rolled over and entered the water. Some small landing craft at the center of the explosion were blown to pieces.  The shell landed on the pier, and a roaring fire and mushroom clouds suddenly ignited.  The Japanese army worked hard to transport a large amount of military supplies from the mainland and were destroyed in an instant. The Japanese soldiers who could not escape were instantly swallowed up by the fire, and no bones were left.  The entire Lushun Military Port was completely enveloped by the huge explosion. Everyone felt a buzzing and roaring in their ears, and the violent explosion made their eardrums hurt.  At this time, the Japanese air defense firepower points located in the military port and Dalian City and the Stuka dive bomber group of the Duli Division also launched a fierce stranglehold.  Although Japan does not have 88 anti-aircraft guns, it still has self-produced 13 mm large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns. Dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns fire at the same time, and their power cannot be underestimated.  Dense bullets criss-crossed in an attempt to get ahead of the Stuka bomber and shoot it down.  But few can achieve this. Although the Stuka dive bomber is slightly slower than the Zero, when it dives at a large angle, its speed will increase sharply compared to when flying parallel.  In this way, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower was like a whip, moving quickly as the Stuka flew past.  The bullet finally hit the air and almost became a horizontal line.  As a fierce scream passed by, aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms accurately landed on the Japanese air defense firepower points that were firing.  At an altitude of one thousand meters, the accuracy of the Stuka differs by no more than fifteen meters.  Experienced pilots can even reduce the error to within five meters.  Within this range, the destructive power erupted by aerial bombs is enough to cause a devastating blow to the Japanese air defense firepower points.  After the violent explosion, the Japanese air defense fire points were covered and swallowed up by fire and thick smoke. After the smoke, they were in ruins.  Due to the overall huge gap in performance between the two sides' fighters, the Zero fighters flown by Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang quickly ended the battle and wiped out more than 20 Japanese fighter jets that took off to attack.  Afterwards, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang flew directly to the Dalian Airport of the Japanese Army with their comrades.  At this time, all the Japanese fighter jets that could fly were shot down. The air defense firepower of the airport was simply not enough to withstand the extremely fast and superior performance Zero.  Relying on flexible mid- and low-altitude maneuverability, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang easily evaded the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese military airport, and then destroyed it with the machine guns and machine guns they carried randomly.  After destroying the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese military airport, Gao Zhihang and other pilots began flying at ultra-low altitudes, and began carpet bombing and clearing the Japanese bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport aircraft that had nowhere to escape on the airport.  The bombers parked on the tarmac were basically fully loaded with fuel and ammunition. After being hit, they exploded immediately.  The Zeros driven by Gao Zhihang and others were each equipped with two 60-kilogram small aerial bombs.  Under such a devastating combination of bombing and suicide bombing, the entire airport quickly turned into a sea of ??flames.  More than a hundred fighter jets and bombers that had just been shipped from the mainland were all destroyed.  Dalian Airport was completely paralyzed, and the aviation building was collapsed by the shock wave generated by the distant explosion.  After destroying the Japanese army's airport, 25 Zeros, led by Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang, were divided into two groups to support the He111 bombers that were bombing the Lushun military port, and to conduct air strikes on areas that might be the Japanese army's headquarters.  .  At this time, under the threat of huge air strikes, the anti-aircraft firepower on the Japanese navy ships had opened fire.  However, it has little impact on the He111 bomber that conducts horizontal bombing at high altitudes.  Aerial bombs are still falling from high altitudes in a free way.  The heavy losses of the Japanese army continue.  Several large-tonnage ships have suffered varying degrees of damage, and the situation is extremely critical.  At this moment, a group of extremely fast Zero fighters and Stuka dive bombers were added one after another.Entered the battlefield.  As a result, the pressure on the Japanese Navy suddenly increased, and the warships would not be able to withdraw for a while. After the Stuka bombers destroyed most of their shipboard anti-aircraft firepower.  More than 20 large and small ships anchored in Lushun Military Port have become lambs to be slaughtered.  This air raid, which can go down in history, finally ended after more than half an hour.  The mixed fleet of the Li Division Flying Group achieved brilliant results with the loss of only two Stuka bombers.  Of the more than 20 Japanese warships in the Lushun Military Port, all were destroyed by intensive aerial bombardment, and half of them were seriously damaged and sank to the bottom of the sea as soon as the battle was over.  The other half was also blown up and smoke was everywhere. All the power systems were lost. Most of them were still filled with water. It was only a matter of time before they sank.  In addition, they also destroyed Japanese airports, hundreds of aircraft of various types, and a large amount of military supplies.  The casualties of the Japanese army, navy and army cannot be calculated.  Half an hour after the air raid, the Japanese Kwantung Army in Lushun was in the secret room of the underground air defense bunker.  Kwantung Army Commander Nanjiro and several division commanders were all in shock and restless in a conference room, waiting anxiously for the report of the ground recruits.  Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke the silence of the basement.  Nanjiro and the others turned around after hearing the sound, only to see senior staff officer Ishihara Wanji, who had risked his life to stay on the ground, walked in with a dignified expression.  "Ishihara-kun, how is the situation above?" Nanjiro asked urgently. When the bombing of the Duli Division came just now, Nanjiro and several division commanders hurriedly hid in the underground bunker that had been repaired long ago to avoid the air attack.  .  So, I don’t know the above situation.  "General, just now more than ten Chinese Army fighter planes flew over the airspace near our headquarters, but they did not find our specific location. After launching air strikes and sweeps on several pairs of Imperial Army patrols patrolling nearby, they turned around and left.  .    "oh.  Nanjiro felt a little relieved and asked again: "What about the military port terminal?"  " Ishihara smiled and lowered his head: "The Second Fleet of the Navy lost more than 20 ships, including two cruisers, four large transport ships and a large number of landing craft.  "    "What?  Twenty warships lost?  "Everyone, including Nanjiro, was shocked. "How is this possible?  Where are our aviation forces?  Why not take off to meet the Chinese Air Force?  " Nanjiro asked unwillingly. "The newly added air force took off more than 20 fighter jets as soon as the China Air Force attacked. However, more than 20 fighter jets were all shot down by the China Air Force's escort fighter jets!  After that, Chinese planes attacked and destroyed our airport. Nearly 80 bombers and reconnaissance aircraft on the airport that had not had time to take off were destroyed, and the entire airport was also completely destroyed.  "Ishihara smiled and said with an even uglier expression. "Nani?  The newly replenished air force was also completely wiped out?  "Nanjiro looked shocked. The current commander of the Third Division, Lieutenant General Sakabe Jusunho, stepped forward in disbelief and said: "Ishihara-kun, are you telling the truth?  "Ishihara Wan'er nodded with a painful look on his face. "How is this possible?  "Sakabe Shisunsui murmured in disbelief: "When did the China Air Force become so powerful?  "The entire basement fell into a dead silence, and no one knew the answer. "Nanji-kun, we must strengthen our air defense forces. In addition, we need to ask the base camp to send additional sea-based aviation forces to strengthen the imperial army's air power. Otherwise, what will happen today will happen.  Tragedies will continue to happen.  "After Banbe Shichensui pondered for a long time, he turned to Nanjiro and said. "But Nanjiro shook his head with a miserable look on his face and said: "Sakabe-kun, the Navy Ministry does not agree with this large-scale dispatch of troops to the Northeast. Now the Navy's 2nd  The fleet suffered such heavy losses that it has never been seen before in the Japanese Empire since the establishment of the Meiji army.  Will they agree to continue to increase investment in the Northeast War?  " "Then what else can be done?  Now five of the 12 divisions we mobilized have landed, and the remaining seven divisions should have also boarded the ship. Will the base camp let us give up military operations in the Northeast?  So why did we come to Northeast China?  Watch the Chinese Air Force performance?  "Sakabe Shisunsui said with some annoyance. "General, I think it is better to report the news of the attack on Lushun to the base camp and the Army Minister as soon as possible and ask them to make a decision.  "Ishihara Wanji reminded him loudly. "The flying brigade achieved an unprecedented victory and returned home with a full load. Zhang Xinghan was on the train to Harbin, and Zhang Xinghan and his party were included.? car.  There is a small private room in the carriage. At this time, Zhang Xinghan was looking out the window at the scene of rapid retreat, frowning in thought.  He was worried about whether the air attack on Lushun by the flying brigade went smoothly, and at the same time he was also thinking about how to help Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others defeat the Han guerrillas such as Xiqia and Gu Xing.  And the question of where Li Du and other troops will go after they are defeated. From Zhang Xinghan's heart, he is extremely eager to recruit Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and other troops.  Because they are all famous anti-Japanese heroes in history, their loyalty to the nation and the country is unquestionable, and they can be reused with confidence.  But how can we persuade them to give up Changchun, or even give up the ancient forest temporarily?  Also, Li Du's rank is Lieutenant General of the Army, and his position is higher than himself. He will be willing to work with his Du Li division.  These all gave Zhang Xinghan a headache.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 120: Attack on Changchun

    When thinking about something reaches a certain level, the brain will protest due to excessive fatigue.  Zhang Xinghan's brain was protesting against him at this moment, and he felt a headache and sleepiness sweeping over him like water.  Zhang Xinghan leaned on the seat in the box and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was awakened by the knock on the door of the accompanying cavalry: "Master, we have arrived in Harbin." "Oh, I got it." Zhang Xinghan got up after hearing the sound.  , stretched out, picked up the round felt hat on the table and deliberately lowered the brim, and followed the flow out of the car with a few accompanying cavalry.  When Zhang Xinghan and his party secretly returned to the temporary base of the cavalry battalion, it was already early the next morning.  "Master, you are back." Sabli went out to greet him personally.  "How is it? Is everything okay?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "Everything is fine. General Zhao Zhenhe, deputy commander of the 24th brigade, has tried to find you many times, but he declined his humble position and went back. I heard that General Li Du, General Xing Zhanqing, and Feng Zhanhai, the envoys of Yilan garrison, have returned.  Harbin, waiting to see you," Sabli said.  "Well, I understand. We will go into the city to meet them later. By the way, did the air force's air raid yesterday go smoothly?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "More than a success, it was a great harvest. According to the news from the base area, yesterday Captain Gao Zhihang led our air force to wipe out more than a hundred fighter planes of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and also tried their best to destroy the Dalian Airport.  In addition, more than 20 Japanese naval ships were sunk and damaged, as well as a large amount of military supplies. Now the air force has completely dominated the air in Liaoning," Sabli said excitedly.  "Really? Qiande is good." Zhang Xinghan felt a stone fall in his heart. It seemed that the Zero fighter did not disappoint him.  "Okay, you first send troops into the city to inform General Li Du. We will enter the city later to meet them." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and ordered.  “Yes.” ……………More than half an hour later, Zhang Xinghan simply washed up, and after breakfast, he led Sabli and a cavalry squad into Harbin City.  Li Du, Zhao Zhenhe, Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai, who had received the notice early, had been waiting outside the main gate of Harbin City to greet them for a long time.  Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli, surrounded by cavalry, rode their horses to the street outside the city government gate, far away.  Sabli pointed his riding whip at Li Du and others who were standing outside the government gate and said, "Master, look, the leader is General Li Du, the envoy of Yilan Guard." Zhang Xinghan took a closer look and saw only one  He is an officer in his fifties, with a tall build, a Chinese-character face, and piercing eyes under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.  Zhang Xinghan immediately got off his horse, and Li Du, Feng Zhanhai and others hurriedly came over to greet him.  When he arrived, Zhang Xinghan took the lead and stood up at attention and saluted: "Zhang Xinghan, commander of the Tongliao Anti-Japanese Rescue Division of the National Revolutionary Army." "Li Du, commander of the 24th Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army." Li Du saluted in return.  , and then pointed sideways at a middle-aged officer beside him and said: "This is Colonel Feng Zhanhai, the commander of the Self-Defense Regiment of the Border Guard and Provincial Office of Gurin Province." "This is General Xing Zhanqing, the commander of the Duli 26th Brigade."  Li Du pointed to Xing Zhanqingdao next to Feng Zhanhai.  "Captain Feng, General Xing and General Li are all patriots with the country at heart. They have prospered the Han Dynasty and have been famous for a long time." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "General Zhang is honored. General Zhang's name is so popular among us. The general became famous in the battle of Shenyang. He avenged his shame for the country and the nation. He is truly a role model for our generation." Li Du said seriously.  "However, what Li didn't expect was that General Jing was so young, so he was really formidable. Having a young hero like Master Zhang in our Northeast is really a blessing to the 30 million people outside the customs, and a blessing to the nation." "The general praised him so much.  , Xinghan deserves it," Zhang Xinghan said modestly.  "You can definitely bear it." Li Du turned sideways and said with solemn hands: "Please invite General Zhang to come in and talk." "Please!" Zhang Xinghan also invited with solemn hands, and then walked into the market center with Li Du and others.  After entering a conference room in the city government building, orderlies had already brought tea to Zhang Xinghan and the others.  After everyone sat down, Li Du was the first to speak: "I was shocked to hear last night that the air force commanded by the general launched an air raid on Lushun, causing heavy losses to Japan. May I ask the general if the news is true?" "It is true." Zhang Xinghan clicked.  Nodding, he said: "Currently, in the name of protecting bridges and protecting roads, Japan has assembled 12 permanent divisions with more than 300,000 troops, brazenly increasing its troops in the Northeast. Its strategic purpose is self-evident, in order to obtain more preparations  time to prepare for the next important battle. I have ordered the Air Force to attack the brigade at all costs.The air strike was launched in response to the gathering Japanese army, aiming to slow down the speed of the Japanese army's accumulation. So far, the results have been quite fruitful.  " Li Du and others looked at each other and nodded. Then Feng Zhanhai said: "I wonder what General Zhang's plans are for coming to Kazakhstan this time?  " Zhang Xinghan glanced at the crowd and said: "To be honest, Xinghan's trip is to unite you to form a stronger anti-Japanese armed force in the three eastern provinces and strengthen the strength of our anti-Japanese armed forces to counter the Japanese invasion of China.  The army is heavily armed.  " Li Dusan looked at each other in confusion, and Xing Zhanqing said: "I wonder what General Zhang's specific thoughts are?  " "After the battle of Changchun, the general's Duli 26th Brigade and General Li's Duli 24th Brigade suffered heavy losses and have been damaged. If we don't unite and fight separately, it will be easy for the Japanese army to defeat each other.  Break.  Therefore, my suggestion is that the three officers and soldiers of each department should follow me back to Tongliao. We should form an anti-Japanese rescue force and concentrate our efforts to fight against the Japanese army. Only in this way can there be a way out.  "Zhang Xinghan said tentatively. "Mr. Zhang wants us to abandon the ancient forest?  "Li Du said expressionlessly. "Give up for now. When we have enough strength in the future, we will come back to regain the lost ground.  "Zhang Xinghan said without hesitation. "No.  "Li Du unexpectedly directly rejected Zhang Xinghan's suggestion. Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but looked at Li Du with questioning eyes. Finally, he said in confusion: "I know that you are all patriotic who care about the people of the country.  General, but the current situation is that it is urgent to join forces to build an anti-Japanese and rescue force. Instead of dividing our troops and being defeated by the Japanese invaders one by one, and eventually losing the city and territory, it is better for us to concentrate our forces first and defend Tongliao as a strategy to resist the Japanese and rescue the Japanese.  ** An important place for development for a long-term plan.  " After a long time, Li Du raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Xinghan and said: "General Zhang used to have only thousands of elite soldiers under his command, but he did not hesitate to fight bloody battles across the city to protect Shenyang.  Now how can we abandon the ancient forest without fighting?  " "In the battle of Changchun, because of the bastard Ding Chao's defection on the battlefield, traitors like Xi Qia and Gu Xing got a huge advantage, so why not kill them all to commemorate the fallen soldiers of our troops who were assisting Shenyang?  Brothers, I am really unwilling to give up the ancient forest like this, and I do not agree to evacuate to Tongliao.  "  , they can also retreat to the northwest and retreat to the pass. But what Li Du and Xing Zhanqing said makes sense. No one is willing to let so many troops give up their hometown to Han Jiān like Xiqia and Guxing. Zhang Xinghan pondered.  After a moment, he said to Sanrui: "In this case, Xinghan will not force it, but before leaving, I want to help you capture Changchun and put down the rebels.  " "Capture Changchun?  "Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others were all shocked and looked at each other. ……………………… Tongliao Duli Division Headquarters. Su Hanyun, deputy commander and chief communications soldier of the communications company, walked out of the communications company tent with a message in hand and walked into the division headquarters war room.  . Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan was busy recruiting new soldiers when the deputy division commander Huang Xiansheng came in and said, “Report to the deputy division commander, the division commander is calling!  "Su Hanyun stood up and saluted. "Oh?  What did Xinghan say?  "Huang Xiansheng stood up and asked after hearing the words. "With the order from the commander, the flight brigade immediately flew to Harbin Majiagou Airport to stand by.  "Su Hanyun said. "Oh, I know.  " Huang Xiansheng nodded, reached for the phone and connected the call to Tongliao Airport. He gave Gao Zhihang some instructions before hanging up the phone. Seeing that Su Hanyun had not left, Huang Xiansheng asked in surprise: "Why Su?  Lieutenant, do you have anything else to do?  " "Master, I would like to take a leave of absence."  "Su Hanyun said. "Ask for leave?  "Huang Xiansheng also heard to some extent that the relationship between the beautiful deputy company commander of the division's communications company and the younger brother of the division commander was somewhat unusual. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to come back early.  " "Yes, thank you, Deputy Master.  "……………………Harbin Majiagou Airport. Ten Zero fighter jets and five Stuka dive bombers landed in Majiang one after another under the leadership of Liu Cuigang, deputy captain of the flight group and first squadron leader.  Jiagou Airport. On the rooftop of the airport air station, looking at the combat aircraft landing smoothly, Zhang Xinghan turned to Li Du and others and said: "Everyone, these combat aircraft are the bombers and fighter jets that have just participated in the air raid on Lushun. Let's continue.  In the coming battle, they will provide you with powerful air fire support and help you defeat the Changchun rebels and capture Changchun.  ” Li ?Everyone looked at the fighter planes on the airport with envy, and nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Commander Zhang, for your help. With the help of the Air Force, we can easily capture Changchun."  "By the way, the remnants of Ding Chao's troops who fled to Songyuan have been wiped out by our cavalry regiment. The brigade commander Ding Chao was beheaded by the regiment commander Sa, which can be regarded as revenge for the hundreds of officers and soldiers who died under Changchun City.  "Zhang Xinghan said suddenly.  "Ding Chao is dead?" Li Du and Xing Zhanqing both looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded to confirm.  "It's too cheap for this bastard old guy. I still want to chop him alive with my own hands." Xing Zhanqing said in a hateful voice through gritted teeth.  "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the front line first." Zhang Xinghan suggested.

    That evening, Zhang Xinghan, Li Du and others led a cavalry battalion brought by Zhang Xinghan to the Zhangjiawan front line secretly.  After this period of gathering, most of the officers and soldiers of Li Du and Xing Zhanqing's troops who were defeated in the Changchun battle were gathered back into the team.  In addition, Zhao Zhenhe, who stayed in Harbin, continued to recruit new soldiers and expand his troops with his remaining regiment. At this time, Li Du's duli 24th brigade had barely recovered to 4,000 troops.  With the addition of most of Xing Zhanqing's brigade and Feng Zhanhai's self-defense regiment, the total strength of Zhangjiawan's three brigades, Li Xing and Feng, reached 12,000.  That night, at Zhang Xinghan’s suggestion, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, and Feng Zhanhai each led their troops to march toward Changchun overnight.  By Yaoming, after a night of rapid march, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and other troops successfully arrived in the northern suburbs of Changchun.  In Changchun City, just after dawn, Li Guilin, the commander of the 23rd brigade, and Gu Xing, the commander of the 27th brigade, were urgently summoned to the government office by Xiqia.  In the office, Xi Qia said to the two men anxiously: "According to the scout report, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and other bandits have made a comeback and quietly approached the northern suburbs of Changchun last night. What do you think we should do?" "After  After their defeat last time, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing dare to come again?" Li Guilin was a little surprised.  "Chief of Staff Xi, we have an advantage in terms of strength and artillery fire. After the last battle, Xing Zhanqing and Li Du's troops were seriously injured and have not recovered yet. What is there to be afraid of?" Gu Xing didn't care.  Dao, obviously after defeating Li Du and Xing Zhanqing last time, he had already ignored them and thought they were vulnerable.  "Moreover, hasn't Japan announced that it has mobilized more than 300,000 troops to enter the Northeast? Didn't Zhang Xinghan of Shenyang escape from Shenyang because he is so good at fighting? Li Du and the others are still so overestimating their own capabilities. They are simply seeking death. We only need to hold Changchun  "When the Japanese invade Shenyang and heavy troops arrive, it will be their death." "However, I just got the news that Ding Chao's troops, which were routed to Songyuan, were suddenly wiped out by Zhang Xinghan's Duli Division two days ago.  Super Ben's head was chopped off," Xiqia said worriedly.  “What Xiqia Shenzhen means is that Li Du’s comeback this time is supported by Zhang Xinghan?” Li Guilin asked.  "It's very possible. I'm now afraid that Zhang Xinghan will also lead his troops to attack Changchun. The combat effectiveness of his Du Li division is unmatched. Even Japan's powerful troops will be defeated by him. If his troops really participate in the attack,  Chang Chun, that is definitely not a good thing for us," Xi Qia said with a worried look.  Just as Xiqia finished speaking, the roar of an airplane engine suddenly came from outside.  Xi Qia and others' faces changed drastically when they heard the sound, and they hurried out of the house. They saw some black spots in the sky in the north direction of the city, approaching quickly and getting bigger under their eyes.  The roar of the engine became more and more harsh.  "Where did this plane come from?" Xi Qia's tone was trembling.  "It can't be the air force of Zhang Xinghan's Duli Division, right?" Gu Xing looked towards the north of the city with some horror.  Under their speculation, Liu Cuigang led ten Zero fighter jets and five Stuka fighter jets to fly over the north of Changchun City.  Under the guidance of the ground troops, carpet bombing and fierce dive sweeps began towards the northern defense line of the Changchun rebel city.  Under Stuka’s accurate and powerful bombing, all the rebel fortifications in the north of Changchun City were destroyed, and several city walls were blown down.  The Zero fighter jets that were constantly flying at low altitudes, circling, diving and sweeping were causing unimaginable damage to the rebels.  The entire north gate turned into a sea of ????fire in an instant. The rebel soldiers screamed before they died, and the Zero fighter's 20mm cannon fired continuously, one after another.  The air raid lasted for more than half an hour. The rebel defenses were plowed several times. There were fire and thick smoke everywhere, and it was impossible to see the city head within a hundred or ten meters.  At this time, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing issued an order to the troops to attack across the entire front. Thousands of officers and soldiers, roaring with guns in hand, launched a charge towards the north gate.  Feng Zhanhai, the leader of the Self-Defense Regiment, was extremely brave and led his men to charge with a light machine gun in hand.  Under his encouragement, the officers and soldiers of the Self-Defense Regiment took the lead and were the first to rush into the city through the gap in the city wall that was destroyed by the air force.  By this time, the rebels at the north gate had already lost all their casualties, and the few survivors were so frightened that they fled in all directions, unable to organize any decent resistance.  In this way, the officers and soldiers of the Self-Defense Regiment and the 24th and 26th brigades of Duli rushed into the city with great ease. The 10th Artillery Regiment of the defenders in the city had no time to fire to suppress it, and the artillery advantage was unable to be used.  In panic, Xiqia and Guxing were forced to lead some troops to withdraw from Changchun from the south gate. Li Guilin and the 10th Artillery BattalionThe leader of the regiment, Mu Chunchangquan, was captured alive.  After capturing the entire city, the Xing Zhanqing command post headed south to pursue the remnants of Guxing and Xiqia.  They were caught up and annihilated in the Gongzhuling area. Xiqia and Gu Xing managed to escape to Siping through the mountain path with only a few guards.  In Changchun City, officers and soldiers of the 24th and 26th brigades escorting prisoners were passing by everywhere.  Zhang Xinghan led Sabuli, Li Du and others into the city, looking at the scene of the city with traces of war and ruins everywhere.  Li Du couldn't help but sigh: "Xiqia and Guxing, these traitorous traitors from the Han Dynasty, have harmed the people of Changchun like this. They really deserve death." "Brigade Commander Xing personally led the cavalry to pursue them. He will definitely be able to kill these two thieves. For  Revenge for the sacrificed officers and soldiers and the innocent people of Changchun who died in the war," Sabu said forcefully.  "I hope so." Li Du nodded and said to Zhang Xinghan: "General Zhang, the battle in Changchun was all thanks to your air force assistance. Li expresses his solemn thanks to you on behalf of our 24th Brigade and other departments." "No need."  Thank you, when Xinghan was trapped in Shenyang, didn't you all come to our aid at all costs? We are all in this Patriotic War, so we should join hands to fight against the enemy and help each other." Zhang Xinghan said.  While they were talking, the leader of the self-defense regiment, Feng Zhanhai, covered in blood, strode over with a group of subordinates.  "General Li, General Zhang." Feng Zhanhai couldn't help shouting excitedly from far away Seeing Feng Zhanhai covered in blood, Li Du stepped forward with concern and asked: "Captain Feng, are you okay?" "I'm okay.  "Feng Zhanhai turned and pointed at the officers being held behind him and said: "These are the prisoners I captured, including Li Guilin, commander of the 23rd Brigade, and Mu Chunchang, commander of the 10th Artillery Regiment."  Du walked over and looked at the middle-aged officer at the head, and said with some regret: "Brother Xinshan, you and I are both highly regarded by the commander-in-chief and the young commander-in-chief, and are entrusted with the important task of border defense. How can we betray the country and surrender to the enemy and become a traitor to the Han Dynasty?" Li Guilin  He looked at Zhang Xinghan behind Li Du and wanted to explain, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing.  Seeing Li Guilin's silence, Li Du said to Feng Zhanhai: "Captain Feng, imprison them all first, and we will deal with them later." "Yes." Feng Zhanhai immediately responded, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates took Li Guilin and Mu into custody.  Chunchang waited to leave.  Watching them leave, Li Du couldn't help but sigh: "What a mistake, one mistake will lead to eternal hatred. At any time, you can't lose your backbone, otherwise you will be in disgrace for thousands of years and it will be too late to regret it." "General Li, the top priority now is that you should hurry up as soon as possible.  Recruit prisoners, recruit new soldiers, expand troops, and strengthen Changchun's defense. In addition, all the artillery and artillery of the 10th Artillery Regiment must be taken over, which can greatly enhance your combat effectiveness." Zhang Xinghan reminded.  "Well, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Li Du nodded in agreement.  "Hello!" Not long after, Xing Zhanqing roared over on his war horse with a group of cavalry, and he got off his horse.  Sabli couldn't help but asked: "Commander Xing, how are you? Have you captured Xi Qia and Gu Xing?"  The two bastards, Xi Qia and Gu Xing, may have taken advantage of the chaos to escape. "The 27th Brigade has been completely wiped out. They will no longer be a threat in the next two days, so there is no need to worry," Brigadier Xing advised in time.  .  That day, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and others officially moved the headquarters from Zhangjiawan to Changchun City, and began to send in new soldiers everywhere.  Recruited and surrendered prisoners, repaired the damaged Changchun defense fortifications, and at Zhang Xinghan's suggestion, pushed the field defense position to Gongzhuling.  Mobilize civilian labor to build semi-permanent fortifications at Gongzhuling to cope with future Japanese attacks.  Seeing that the Changchun war has ended, Li Xing and other troops have also taken control of the situation.  Zhang Xinghan took Sabuli to bid farewell to Li Du. Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and others went in and out of the city to see each other off.  Before leaving, Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered something and said to Li Du and others: "By the way, there is one thing that Xinghan would like your help with." "Oh?" Li Du and others looked at each other and said, "General Zhang, feel free to speak frankly.  Within the scope of our ability, we will definitely do it. " "As you all know, our division evacuated from Shenyang, and most of the people in Shenyang, Xinmin City and nearby areas also followed, totaling more than 500,000 people. The amount of food required for daily life is huge.  At present, we don’t have much grain purchased from Shenyang and other places, so I ask you brothers to purchase and raise a batch of grain from various places in Gulin to help our more than 500,000 elders in Tongliao survive the winter. Of course, I can’t ask you to pay for grain.  I will send you a batch of weapons and equipment later, which will be used to purchase food and also help.?You expand your troops and strengthen your strength.  Zhang Xinghan said. Li Du pondered for a while and said: "That's okay. A large amount of grain has been seized in Changchun City. There is also a lot of grain in Harbin and other places. We will buy some from the private sector in various towns and supply it to the 500,000 people in Tongliao for the winter."  Not a problem.  " "Then I'll leave it to you. The weapons and equipment will be delivered within half a month. Xinghan said goodbye.  "After Zhang Xinghan saluted them, he got on his horse. "Thank you, General Zhang. General, take care of yourself all the way.  "Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others saluted each other one after another. "Take care!  drive!  "Zhang Xinghan mobilized his war horses and ran away with Sabli and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 122: Strategic Air Raid

    Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry battalion, marching northwest from Changchun, and arrived at Songyuan County that night.  After resting for a night in Songyuan, the next day, Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry regiment and began to withdraw to the Tongliao base area with the integrated Songyuan duli regiment.  At the same time, Liu Cuigang also led fifteen planes back to Tongliao Airport.  Since there were more than a thousand infantrymen from the Songyuan Duli Regiment accompanying them, Zhang Xinghan and his companions' marching speed was greatly reduced.  It took four days, that is, the morning of December 7, to return to the Tongliao base area.  During Si Yao's march, both the cavalry and the infantry were very tired, and they were trapped and ran out of horses.  After handing more than a thousand recruits of the Songyuan Duli Regiment to Huang Xiansheng to arrange a rest.  Zhang Xinghan also returned to the bedroom and took a nap. Although there were many things waiting for him to deal with, he had hardly slept soundly once during the ten-year journey.  After sleeping for five hours, Zhang Xinghan was woken up by Zhao Zhenfan.  "Chief of Staff, what's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan asked, rubbing his temples.  Zhao Zhenfan looked very excited and said humbly: "Master, I didn't want to wake you up so soon and let you have a good rest, but I can't help but report this news to you immediately." "  What's the news? About the Japanese army?" Zhang Xinghan patted his forehead, got out of bed and started to put on his military uniform.  "No, it's the Huolinhe Mine. Xie Wu sent news that they have successfully mined coal. He also said that the quality of the coal in Huolinhe is much better than that in Benxi. It can be sold for power generation or to railway companies.  A very good price." Zhao Zhenfan said excitedly.  "Really?" Zhang Xinghan was very happy when he heard this and lit a pipe: "In the name of the division, we will electrify and reward all the miners. All the miners will receive an extra one yuan in salary for this month. In addition, Xie Wu will be awarded a hundred yuan in reward." Zhao Zhenfan  His face suddenly became a little ugly.  Zhang Xinghan noticed something unusual and asked in confusion: "Brother Guoping, what's wrong?" Zhao Zhenfan said bitterly: "Master, we don't have much money brought from Shenyang anymore. Since the September 18th Incident, the troops have  There has been no military pay for more than two months. "How much is left?" Zhang Xinghan frowned.  Since the September 18th Incident, I have not paid any military salary to my subordinates. In the past, I was in danger in Shenyang, and I was united as one to fight against the Japanese aggressors and defend Shenyang.  It is understandable that military pay was not paid.  Now the troops have withdrawn to Tongliao, and with them there are hundreds of thousands of Shenyang people, including many family members of local officers and soldiers.  Even though they don’t need to receive military pay, they still have enough money to support their families, because no soldier wants to live a better life because of their relatives.  In addition, the expansion of the army has also led to the inevitability of timely payment.  Not to mention the two main regiments of the original garrison brigade and the original 7th brigade, it is absolutely impossible to recruit recruits locally in Tongliao without military pay.  Because they are all locals who came to serve as soldiers, the family lacks strong labor, and their family members may even live on their military pay.  Zhao Zhenfan took out an account book, looked at it carefully and calculated it for a while, and said: "At present, the gold, jewelry and other properties left in the division are all equivalent to oceans, which is about 200,000 oceans."  Said: "Although there are still more than 200,000 yuan, the troops are already two and a half months behind. Ordinary soldiers are calculated as three yuan per month for two months. At present, we have more than 12,000 soldiers and need 60,000 yuan.  Civilian salaries for officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels are more than 2,000 yuan, and the minimum basic monthly salary is only 7 or 8 yuan, and for officers above the captain level, it is as high as tens or hundreds of yuan. This requires at least 100,000 yuan, in addition to that.  There are more than 10,000 employees and technicians in the arsenal, food for the troops, horse materials for the cavalry, and other daily living expenses. The remaining 100,000 yuan is simply not enough. " "Is the military salary so much?" Zhang Xinghan looked a little surprised.  With Zhao Zhenfan.  Zhao Zhenfan patiently explained: "Master, have you forgotten that our Northeast Army's military pay is generally higher than that of other local troops in the pass, especially our seventh brigade, which is higher than that of the central army. If nothing else, Master  You should still remember how much your monthly military salary was when you were a battalion commander, right?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized and nodded. He remembered that what Zhao Zhenfan said was true. In recent years, the Northeast has been financially better due to the efforts of Zhang and his son.  It was already very comfortable before.  The treatment of the army is very good. In addition, Wang Yizhe was appointed as the commander of the 7th Brigade. During the period when he led the troops to be stationed there, he organized the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade to open many small industrial factories and workshops. ??????? Profitable, so that du li The officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade receive very high salaries.  A captain and company commander can entertain his colleagues in the best tavern in Shenyang every week, which shows how much military pay he has.  It seems that the two hundred thousand oceans of my own are really not enough.  Zhao Zhenfan said: "This does not include the 25 new fighter planes that your father-in-law paid for us to buy. If we count them all together, our division can now be described as heavily in debt. It is not an exaggeration at all.  "Now that the young marshal has cut off our military pay for two months, and the Nanjing government only provides personnel but not military pay, our top priority is to find a way to raise military pay as soon as possible." "Well, it seems that we have to find a way to raise military pay."  "Zhang Xinghan nodded thoughtfully: "Let's cancel the rewards for the mine workers first, and then reward them when we are financially strong." Zhao Zhenfan nodded.  "By the way, Chief of Staff, how many extra weapons and ammunition do we have now? Especially how many of the self-produced and seized RI-type weapons we eliminated from the Shenyang Ice Factory?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked.  "The warehouse of the Shenyang Arsenal originally stocked about 150,000 to 60,000 rifles and pistols, with millions of rounds of ammunition almost intact. In three battles with the Japanese army, we seized a total of more than 20,000 rifles and more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, large and small.  More than a hundred artillery pieces are now stored in the temporary warehouse in Tongliao Town, the arsenal." Zhao Zhenfan thought for a while and replied.  "Oh, we don't need these weapons and equipment for the time being. You can send them to sort them out. I'll ask my father to contact the buyers and we will sell them to raise military pay and pay for the troops." Zhang Xinghan instructed.  “Master, are you going to resell arms?” Zhao Zhenfan was a little surprised.  "Yes, in the future, excess weapons and equipment can be sold to other local troops. Firstly, it will strengthen the combat of other local troops and improve China's national defense strength as a whole. Secondly, we can also get huge profits, which can solve our problems.  Financial crisis." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said, "Therefore, the arsenal needs to rebuild the factory as soon as possible and resume production as soon as possible." "Well, this is a good way to get the best of both worlds." Zhao Zhenfan nodded after hearing this.  "By the way, how has the recruitment of new soldiers been going these days?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "It's going well. In the past half month, I have recruited more than 1,500 people. Most of them are Mongolian compatriots who are good at riding and shooting. Many of them still have war horses with them. We can continue  A cavalry regiment has been formed." Speaking of recruiting soldiers, Zhao Zhenfan said excitedly.  "No, one cavalry regiment is enough, not to mention that each regiment has been assigned a cavalry company directly under the regiment. In the future, our assault troops will mainly be composed of tanks and armored troops, and the cavalry will be completely reduced to an auxiliary force, and will eventually leave modern warfare.  The stage." Zhang Xinghan said.  "It makes sense." "Well, the newly recruited Mongolian recruits are allowed to ride horses when marching, but they need to dismount and fight like infantrymen riding in cars during combat. After all, they have just joined the army, so they are not allowed to do so.  It will be difficult for them to accept being on horseback as infantry. We need to wait until they are gradually integrated into our army before they can be deployed and reorganized in a regular manner. " "Yes, I understand."  Lushun Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Lushun was hit by an air raid, resulting in heavy losses for the army, navy and air force, and a large amount of military supplies were lost, which shocked the whole country of Japan.  It also shocked officials of the Navy Ministry and Navy Ministry who have never advocated expanding the war against China.  If the previous successive defeats of the Kwantung Army were due to underestimation of the enemy and the stupidity of frontline commanders, then this long-distance and super-intensity air raid.  It has been proved enough that the threat posed by Zhang Xinghan’s troops can no longer be ignored, especially after their air force in the Northeast was wiped out again.  It aroused the urgent attention of the base camp. Through investigation and discussion, the base camp came to a correct conclusion.  That is Zhang Xinghan’s air force based on the Northeast Army Air Force, which is already very powerful.  And all this was less than three months before the war broke out, which shocked Japan's top brass.  In just three months, Zhang Xinghan's troops have grown to such a powerful level. If they are not wiped out in time, given time, wouldn't they be in serious trouble for the empire?  As a result, the Navy and the Army Ministry had a rare consensus of opinion.  Increase preparations and investment for the war against China, deploy a large number of sea-based aviation, land-based aviation, and large-scale air defense forces.  In addition, Japan’s local aircraft manufacturing plants are also operating at full capacity and working overtime day and night to produce new fighter jets.  At the same time, Kawamoto’s special battle?Previously seized samples of new machine guns and rifles were also sent back to Japan by the Kwantung Army.  Japanese military industry experts are very interested in this and have conducted research on it.  Naturally, the news that Japan was deploying a large-scale increase in troops to prepare for landing could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Nanjing Secret Service Headquarters.  Under the instruction of Chairman Chiang, the agents reported this information to Zhang Xinghan.  After Zhang Xinghan received the notice, he made a decisive decision to continue the air attack on Lushun and delay the Japanese troops' assembly and landing with a powerful air attack.  At noon that day, the bombers of the Duli Division Aviation Group and 25 Zeros came out again and flew towards Lushun.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 123: Selling Arms

    Because Japan's incoming air defense forces and a large number of sea-based and land-based reinforcements are still heading to China's sea.  Therefore, the Duli Division's second air raid continued very smoothly and encountered almost no obstruction.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang led a group of fighter planes to fly over Lushun Military Port.  " However, after the Japanese suffered a big loss last time, they were obviously on guard. Except for a few small ships with no attack value, there was no Japanese ship at all in the military port.  There were only some necessary guards on the pier. When the harsh air defense sirens sounded, they all rushed to the air defense bunkers in panic.  Seeing that there were basically no valuable targets in the entire Lushun military port, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang were unwilling to return, and led a group of fighter jets to fly out to sea and search for more than a hundred kilometers.  However, we still could not find any Japanese naval ships with attack value.  After all, in this era where there is no radar search, no early warning aircraft, and no satellite positioning, if the Japanese navy ships evade in advance.  Finding them in the vast sea is like looking for a needle in a haystack.  Since they did not find any target with an attack bonus, pilots such as Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang were unwilling to return without success. When returning via Lushun, they once again launched a devastating bombing towards the Lushun Military Port Terminal.  Destroyed all the scarred terminal infrastructure, completely paralyzing the Lushun Military Port Terminal.  As for the Japanese Army garrison stationed near the residential areas inside and outside Dalian City, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang did not order an attack out of consideration for the common people of Dalian.  After the bombers dumped almost all the bombs they carried onto the military port, they began their return journey under the escort of fighter jets.  As soon as they returned, countless Japanese soldiers poured out of nowhere near the dock and began to nervously repair the destroyed infrastructure.  ??……………Tongliao, where the Duli Division is stationed.  Zhang Xinghan approached his father Zhang Yuxi and asked him to help contact Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, the Ma Jiajun of Sima in the northwest, and Sun Dianying, Gu Hongchang and other Northwest Army corps in Chahar and other places.  Begin to prepare to sell to these large and small warlords weapons and equipment that the Duli division has no use at all, as well as a large number of captured Japanese weapons.  Zhang Xinghan knew very well that after the failure of the Central Plains War, Yan Xishan was forced to step down. Jiang Gong of Nanjing tasked Zhang Xiaoliu to unify the control of military and political power in the two provinces of Shanxi and Suizhou, and organize the Shanxi-Sui army.  Seriously weakened the strength of the Jinsui Army, especially the Taiyuan Arsenal founded by Yan Xishan.  Before the Central Plains War, the Taiyuan Arsenal once developed to the point where it could produce monthly: 35 light and heavy artillery pieces, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, 15 machine guns, 900 submachine guns, 15,000 artillery shells, 9,000 mortar shells, and bullets.  4.2 million rounds.  Relying on these weapons and equipment, Yan Xishan allowed the Jin army to grow to a strength of 300,000 soldiers, and he had the spare capacity to sell weapons at high prices to warlords from other provinces such as Li Zongren, Ma Hongkui, and Ma Bufang.  But after Yan Xishan left office, Zhang Xiaoliu immediately stopped production at the Taiyuan Arsenal, and most of the workers were laid off.  Three months ago, after the September 18th Incident broke out, and under the unprecedented rise of national demands for unified resistance to Japan, Jiang Gong had already shaken hands with Yan Laoxi and made peace.  Yan Xishan was re-appointed as director of the Taiyuan Appeasement Office, regained control of Shanxi's military and political power, and is making every effort to restore the production and scale of his Taiyuan Arsenal.  But it is obviously impossible to return to the scale of production before the Central Plains War for a while.  At this time, Yan Xishan still has less than 100,000 troops under his command. In order to improve his own strength and increase his voice, Yan Xishan is recruiting new troops from all over Shanxi.  It can be said that there is an urgent need for weapons and equipment, and the Japanese-style weapons in Zhang Xinghan's hands or the imitation Japanese-style weapons produced by Shenyang Arsenal are no worse than those produced by Taiyuan Arsenal in terms of quality and performance.  If Yan Xishan learns that Zhang Xinghan wants to sell these weapons, he will rush to buy them.  As for warlords such as Sun Dianying and Shi Yousan, they even tried their best to purchase weapons to expand their military strength.  It’s just that whether Yan Xishan is still in North China, Zhang Xiaoliu, who controls the Pingjin Pass, or Principal Jiang of the Nanjing government, they are sparing no effort to block every weapon purchase channel they open.  Compared with Yan Xishan and Zhang Xiaoliu, their economic strength is obviously not valued by the arms dealers of the great powers.  For those who have no financial strength, the powerful arms dealers are obviously more inclined to make deals with Yan Xishan, Zhang Xiaoliu and the Guangxi warlords.  In this way, it is conceivable that they, the remnants of the Northwest Army, and warlords of all sizes have a need for weapons and equipment.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan is not worried about not buying weapons at all. Instead, he is a little worried that the supply of weapons exceeds demand.  Therefore, ?The governor ordered Zhao Zhenfan to deploy the Shenyang Arsenal to rebuild the factory and resume production as soon as possible.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan also had another purpose for doing this, which was to use the original team of Shenyang Arsenal as a cover to secretly prepare a batch of more advanced production lines to specialize in the production of German and American equipment equipped by the Du Li division.  Cover yourself and use your watch to massively explode equipment.  Regarding American and German production line machinery and equipment, as long as he has enough money, he can buy them from the United States and Germany. Of course, he will not travel thousands of miles to Western countries to purchase them.  Not to mention the difficulty of transportation, the cost alone is prohibitive.  Because the construction page in his watch game can produce various military-related production machines and equipment.  When Zhang Xinghan was bored, he took out his watch and opened it again. He had not been able to figure out why some of the more advanced and advanced weapons and equipment in the infinite game showed that they had not been unlocked the previous few times.  How can the competition be unblocked? What conditions need to be met?  With such doubts, Zhang Xinghan clicked on the game icon and entered the production page in the game.  ??The option to produce fighter jets was brought up and placed below the Zero fighter jet and P40 fighter jet.  More advanced American F6F, FU4, and even P51 Mustang, German FW190 and other fighter models appeared in Zhang Xinghan's sight.  After looking closely at the watch screen, I still couldn’t find any useful clues.  Inadvertently, Zhang Xinghan pressed his right index finger on the P51 fighter icon. After several seconds, his watch vibrated slightly.  Zhang Xinghan looked down and saw that the watch screen had turned into a few lines of Chinese characters.  "The P51 fighter plane is one of the most advanced fighters in the late World War II. Production requirements require a kill value of 250,000. In battlefield mode, if you kill one enemy infantry, you can get 10 kill points, 300 artillery points, and 5 tanks.  Hundreds, you can get one thousand kill points for shooting down an aircraft, five thousand for a warship" The last sentence is that the kill value can be viewed on the right side of the aircraft production icon. The progress bar of the kill value can be viewed.  Zhang Xinghan pressed the reverse button out of curiosity and switched the screen to the page of P51 and other fighters.  Clicking on p51 alone this time is different from long pressing, entering the production screen of p51.  I pulled the page slightly to both sides, and sure enough I saw an imperceptible white progress bar.  Because the color is close to the watch screen, and Zhang Xinghan didn’t know it beforehand, he always rushed to produce the weapons and equipment he needed without studying it carefully, so this little secret has never been discovered.  Zhang Xinghan looked carefully and saw a little red under the white progress bar, which should be the number of enemy kills.  It seems that the enemy kill value in Shenyang City has been used up by the unblocked bf109 fighter plane and the No. 3 tank.  These enemy kill values ????should be newly obtained from the Air Force’s air raid on Lushun a few days ago.  After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan finally figured out the specific functions and various limitations of his multi-function watch.  First of all, as he traveled through time, the watch underwent inexplicable changes, automatically treating the earth as a real-time battlefield in the original game.  The Japanese soldiers fighting Zhang Xinghan are naturally regarded as enemies. Killing Japanese soldiers can automatically obtain the enemy kill value.  When the enemy kill value reaches a certain level, the game will automatically unlock some weapons and equipment that are more advanced than the current weapons and equipment.  The levels of the entire game are also divided into three major categories, namely World War I to World War II.  World War II to the 1980s, and the 1980s to the era of game development, which is the 21st century.  ??The game can be unlocked until the end of World War II, and it can be completed, but it takes a lot of time and energy.  Zhang Xinghan failed to pass the test. In addition, as he is in the special forces, he has a lot of training and various tasks, so he does not have the opportunity and time to understand and ponder in detail.  I just use this game on my watch as a game console to kill time occasionally and a tool for telling the time.  Now with Zhang Xinghan’s time travel, the game in the watch has also mutated.  Zhang Xinghan failed to grasp the secret of this watch before, but now by chance, he finally did.  This allowed him to have clearer plans and goals for his future development.  That is to do everything possible to eliminate the current enemies, obtain enemy kill points to continuously accumulate, and finally upgrade and unblock more advanced combat equipment and machinery.  To satisfy their own needs to develop their own strength and expel the Japanese aggressors to defend their country.  Zhang Xinghan was thinking about his future development, when the sound of rapid footsteps brought him back to reality.  Zhang Xinghan looked up and saw that Su Hanyun had already arrived.At the door, he knocked on the already open door and reported: "Master." Zhang Xinghan quickly put away his watch and said: "Please come in." Zhang Xinghan's little move naturally failed to hide Su Hanyun, but she did not let it go.  In my mind, I just thought it was an ordinary watch and walked in without thinking too much.  Standing at attention and saluting: "Master, Captain Gao and the others are back." "Oh? What was the result of the battle?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Su Hanyun shook her head gently: "The Japanese have been prepared for a long time. There is not even a single Japanese ship in the military port, and the Lushun Pier is almost empty. Our bomber group failed to destroy any valuable targets and achieved no results."  "Are you ready?" Zhang Xinghan frowned and said to Su Hanyun immediately, "Inform Gao Zhihang immediately and ask him to come to the division headquarters as soon as possible."

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 124: Night Flight

    "Yes!" Su Hanyun responded, turned around and went out.  About twenty minutes later, Gao Zhihang, dressed in a flight suit, strode to the division headquarters.  "Report!" "Come in." "Brother Ziheng, you are here." Zhang Xinghan stood up to greet him.  "Master, do you have anything to do with me?" Gao Zhihang asked.  "I just learned that this air strike did not achieve any substantial results?" Zhang Xinghan asked Gao Zhihang while asking him to sit down.  "Yes, the Japanese are clearly prepared. We haven't been able to find any valuable targets." Gao Zhihang nodded and said, "My humble guess is that the Japanese must have moved the assembly operation to the night, and Yao Yiliang,  They left the port, dispersed at the dock, and all hid in the air defense bunkers, not giving us a chance to succeed in the air attack. " "Well, it's very possible." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement with Gao Zhihang's analysis, and then said: "I came to you.  Let’s see if we can think of a way to continue strategic bombing of Lushun as much as possible to slow down the concentration of Japanese troops and buy time for us to recruit new soldiers and expand our troops.” “The best way is to conduct air strikes at night, but our fighter planes are now available.  Not capable of flying at night," Gao Zhihang said sharply.  "Brother Zi Heng, do you know how to fly at night?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised. He originally thought that Gao Zhihang only knew Bai Yao flying and didn't know much about night flying. He planned to use his knowledge that was seventy or eighty years ahead of the world to have a good discussion with him.  We were talking about it, but I didn’t expect that Gao Zhihang was not as backward as he said.  "I understand. When I was learning to fly in Europe, I took a class in this area, so I know a little bit about it." Gao Zhihang nodded modestly.  "Then tell me why our aircraft does not have the ability to fly at night?" Zhang Xinghan really didn't know whether the Zero fighter, which was more than ten years ahead of this era, had the ability to fly at night.  "In fact, from a fundamental theoretical point of view, except for the irreversible disturbance caused by nature such as thunderstorms and heavy snow, which makes the aircraft unable to fly, it should be able to fly during the day and night. The key is that in the dark night, the pilots' line of sight will be  It will be affected, but taking off and landing are better. Our airport can provide accurate starting direction and lighting instructions. The key is that when flying in the dark, we cannot accurately grasp the direction and target position, and it is easy to have flight deviations and fail to complete the mission.  Or return," Gao Zhihang explained.  Zhang Xinghan nodded. He understood that the difficulty Gao Zhihang mentioned was that current aircraft are not equipped with radar wave detection and infrared detection.  "Master, in fact, the problem of not having night-flying fighters is not big. The main reason is that we have too few pilots now. We lack enough pilots as reserve sources. Once the battle is damaged, our air force strength will be greatly damaged. Therefore, we  We must ensure the success of every air strike and ensure that the pilots who fly out can return safely as much as possible. Therefore, flying in Baiyao is the safest for me, but flying at night is extremely risky and the number of our own pilots is weak.  We don’t have the strength to take risks and try night flight bombings.” Gao Zhihang said: “Therefore, I suggest that a group of knowledgeable and educated patriotic and passionate young people should be recruited as soon as possible and they should be trained in emergency flights. As long as they have mastered the basics.  Flying technology can be used for Baiyao air raid bombing and combat. We experienced pilots can take the risk of conducting night bombings. In this way, in time, the night flying troops have suffered greater losses, and our new pilots can also fly fighter planes into the sky.  , go on duty in Baiyao and complete the bombing mission so that we will not lose the ability to conduct air operations. " "Well, this is a good suggestion. I will ask the chief of staff to provide high-quality soldiers to your flying brigade as a priority as possible. You want it.  Train more pilots in the shortest time. As for fighter planes, you don’t have to worry at all. I will do everything possible to buy enough fighter planes for you. And later, I will let people contact foreign aircraft dealers to see if they can be purchased.  Night fighter to enhance the night combat capabilities of our flying group," Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Then I'll take my leave first." Gao Zhihang stood up and saluted, and after Zhang Xinghan nodded, he turned and left.  As soon as Gao Zhihang left, Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan rushed over.  "Chief of Staff, you came just in time, I'm looking for you." Zhang Xinghan waved.  "Master, what do you want from me?" Zhao Zhenfan came over and placed a document in front of Zhang Xing.  "Immediately draft an order and issue it to all regiments and battalions in the division. Soldiers who have studied and gone to school can join the pilot test and take the test. If they pass, they can stay in the flying brigade to receive training and become a pilot." Zhang Xinghan?? said.  "Yes." Zhao Zhenfan stood up and responded: "I'll do it right away." Qinglong Mountain, where the first company of the 2nd Battalion of the 702nd Regiment of Duli Division is stationed.  Since the advance team successfully completed the task of repairing the airport, the complete retreat of the Shenyang Air Force was ensured.  Liu Zhenhu, the former commander of the second battalion and first company of the third regiment of the garrison brigade, was promoted to the commander of the second battalion after this reorganization. Zhang Xinghua, who fought bravely, was promoted two levels in a row and became the captain and first company commander of the second battalion of the 702 regiment.  Zhang Xinghua, who is already a captain, is holding a division order that has just been issued by the regiment headquarters.  After reading the content of the order, Zhang Xinghua had an impulse in his heart.  A few minutes later, he took the order and came to the camp headquarters secretly built in the mountain col.  "Bingzhao, I'm going to join the flying brigade." Liu Zhenhu, who was already a lieutenant colonel and the battalion commander, said in Zhang Xing's Chinese language in surprise.  "What? You want to be a pilot?" Liu Zhenhu asked in surprise, not believing his ears.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghua nodded.  "You're crazy. You're already a captain and company commander. Why are you trying to be a pilot? I heard that some time ago, the flying brigade conducted an air raid on Lushun. The bombers driven by several pilots were hit and crashed into the sea on the spot. No bones were left.  "Liu Zhenhu likes his subordinate Zhang Xinghua more and more. Not only does he dare to fight, but he also doesn't have the bad habits of a playboy, so of course he doesn't want him to join the air force.  Zhang Xinghua handed the order from the division headquarters to Liu Zhenhu and said: "Bingzuo, it has been clearly stated above that our Duli Division is in urgent need of pilots now. You and I both know the role of the modern warfare air force. If there is no air force, we will  I will be in an extremely difficult situation. “So, I have to report to the flying brigade.” “You are my first company commander,” Liu Zhenhu said a little angry.  Zhang Xinghua was just about to argue, but then he thought about it and said in a calm tone: "Yingzuo, I understand your mood. You brought me up with one hand. I am very grateful. But, why do we soldiers carry guns and fight? Isn't it just to protect our lives?"  To defend the country? Our army is in urgent need of pilots, and due to limited knowledge, a large number of pilots are not qualified for this service. Therefore, I have to go, and I ask for your understanding." Seeing Liu Zhenhu's attitude, he was a little hesitant.  , Zhang Xinghua said half-jokingly: "Bingzhu, even if I become a pilot, we can fight side by side. From now on, you will lead our brothers from the old company to attack on the ground, and I will fly the fighter plane to provide you with fire support." "  You have a special status. Whether you can be a pilot or not is not something I have to discuss with the regiment leader. You should tell the instructor directly," Liu Zhenhu said reluctantly, knowing that he could not stop you.  "Okay, I will apply to the master." Zhang Xinghua thought for a while and said: "Come on, camp, I'll treat you to a drink." After saying that, before Liu Zhenhu agreed, he hugged him and supported him.  Head outside.  ………………………Three days later, the coal mined from the Huolinhe Coal Mine has been transported to various towns in Tongliao by cars.  It was distributed free of charge to hundreds of thousands of people to keep them warm during the winter.  At the same time, a large amount of grain raised by Li Du and Xing Zhanqing was also transported to the Tongliao base area.  In return, Zhang Xinghan gave them 8,000 Japanese-style 38 rifles, 100 light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, and three basic bullets.  At this point, the Tongliao base area has no worries about food, coal and other basic living supplies for the time being.  In the small courtyard of the Zhang family in Tongliao Town, Zhang Xinghan was having a secret conversation with his father in a study room.  "Xinghan, we have contacted Shanxi and Chahar. They are very interested in the weapons we sell. When do you think we can trade with them?" Zhang Yuxi lowered her voice and said to Zhang Xinghan.  "The sooner the better, Dad, please help arrange this. I will send Chief of Staff Zhao to lead the troops to escort the weapons and ammunition. I want to tell them that we only want to find oceans and gold and silver jewelry, and no legal currency is required." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then which location do you think is safe and suitable?" Zhang Yuxi said.  "Let them choose the location. We are only responsible for escorting it to the transaction location. Of course, the location cannot cross Rehe, otherwise the transaction will be cancelled." Zhang Xinghan has already done an analysis based on the actual conditions in Rehe, Chahar and other places.  Now Rehe is under the jurisdiction of Tang Yulin, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army.  The thousand-mile plain of Rehe is very conducive to the actions of your cavalry and armored forces.  Therefore, when trading in the Rehe area, there is no need to worry about anyone daring to take advantage of others.  "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Zhang Yuxi nodded in agreement. ??At this moment, Zhang Xinghua's voice suddenly sounded in the yard: "Father, mother, I'm back." Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Xinghan hurriedly walked out of the study after hearing this.  "Xinghua, you're back." Zhang Yuxi shouted.  "Dad." Zhang Xinghua looked at Zhang Xinghan behind his father in surprise and said, "Hey, brother, are you back too?" "Well, I came back to see dad for something." Zhang Xinghan nodded and replied, and then asked: "You 702  Isn't the regiment in Qinglong Mountain? Why did you come back today? " "I asked for leave to come back to visit my parents, and I also planned to ask you to do something. You happened to be at home, so I went to the division headquarters to find you."  While talking, he followed Zhang Yuxi and Zhang Xinghan into the main room.  "What do you want from me?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "Brother, I'm going to join the flying brigade. Our regiment commander and battalion commander don't dare to make the decision. They say they need your permission." Zhang Xinghua explained his intention.

    "What, you want to join the flying brigade?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  "Yes, didn't the division headquarters issue an order to the entire division, calling on educated young people to become pilots? I'm not just the right person. I can fly a fighter plane across the sky, and fly across the sky. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil." Zhang Xinghua nodded with a look on his face.  The way of longing.  "Xinghua, if you follow my suggestion, you'd better come to my division headquarters and serve as my adjutant and staff officer, so that you and Miss Su can face each other day and night. It is extremely dangerous to be an infantryman or a pilot." Zhang Xinghan said  After a pause, he looked at his father and continued: "But I know that you have your own ideas. I can't decide for you. You can let dad make your decision on this matter. If dad agrees, I have no objection!"  Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghua turned his attention to his father, Zhang Yuxi.  Zhang Yuxi pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Let's eat first, and then discuss this matter after eating." "Dad, you don't disagree, right?" Zhang Xinghua said uneasily.  "Xinghua, tell me the truth, what did your elder brother say about Miss Su just now?" Zhang Yuxi asked without answering.  "Susheshe is a teacher in our department. When I first went to Yanjing, she just graduated and then stayed at the school to teach, so she is also my senior." Zhang Xinghua lowered his head in embarrassment.  "Dad, I can see that Xinghua is interested in Su Hanyun." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Brother, don't talk nonsense." "Then what does the young girl mean to our Xinghua?" Zhang Yuxi ignored Zhang Xinghua's protest and continued to ask.  "She probably likes Xinghua quite a lot. Last time Xinghua's advance team was in danger, I think she was quite anxious." Zhang Xinghan replied thoughtfully.  "That's good, that's good." Zhang Yuxi said to Zhang Xinghua very happily: "Xinghua, if you have time, you'd better bring Miss Su home for a meal." "Dad, I'm looking for you now.  Discussing joining the flying brigade is nothing." Zhang Xinghua felt dizzy and was very embarrassed.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuxi said: "Don't laugh, Xinghan. You and Ruoying must get married as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be easy to drag it out like this." "Um Dad, the national crisis is at the forefront, and the Japanese invaders have not been eliminated.  Isn't it appropriate for me to get married now?" Zhang Xinghan felt depressed for a while.  "What's inappropriate is that now we are facing a national crisis. As soldiers, you have to contribute to the country and the nation. As a father, I support it, but you can't let my old Zhang family break up, right? So, you and Ruo,  Ying must get married as soon as possible, even if you die for the country, you still have to leave a seed for our old Zhang family!" Zhang Yuxi became more and more uncomfortable as she talked, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.  "And Xinghua, you said, wouldn't it be much safer if you became a staff adjutant next to your elder brother? You have to be a front-line infantry, and now you are going to be a pilot. You are loyal to the country, but have you considered it?  Do you and I feel the same way? Do you have the heart to let us have sex for nothing? Yes, it is very selfish of me to think so, but no parent wants anything to happen to his son. I am not a saint, so I do.  I am not a stone-hearted person, but I am of flesh and blood. I am just an ordinary father!" Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghua looked at each other and quickly advised: "Dad, it's our fault, don't be sad, but the country is in trouble, how can we just sit back and watch?  ? As for the marriage with Ruoying, you have to inform your father-in-law Da Ru and let him participate, right? " "Dad, brother is right, this wedding is not a child's play. Uncle Wang must be present, otherwise my sister-in-law will not be there.  It’s really unreasonable that my mother-in-law doesn’t have a wife.” Zhang Xinghua also said.  "By the way, where is your Uncle Wang now?" Zhang Yuxi suddenly thought of her friend and relative Wang Yizhe.  "I heard that he was summoned to Peiping by Marshal Zhang. Currently, the brigade commander of the 7th brigade is He Lichong, who is attached to the brigade. I think Uncle Wang should be under house arrest by Marshal Zhang." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said.  "Then can we find a way to rescue him?" Zhang Yu said happily.  "I will find a way to do this. Dad, please don't tell Ruoying for now, lest he worry." Zhang Xinghan did not forget to ask.  “Brother, you must agree to my going to the flying brigade.” On the way out of the Zhang family courtyard and out of town, the two brothers Zhang Xinghan walked side by side.  "Okay, I'll say hello to Captain Gao later. The flying brigade is indeed in urgent need of young intellectuals like you." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and nodded seriously.  "However, Xinghua, how far has the competition between you and Su Hanyun gone? If possible, you should take it home to show to your parents if you have the chance. Even if it is to give the two elders some psychological comfort, it would be good." "Well, I  Got it.”Xinghua nodded silently, thinking of Su Hanyun's beautiful face.  “Come with me back to the division headquarters to see her?” Zhang Xinghan suggested.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghua immediately nodded in agreement.  After returning to the division headquarters, Zhang Xinghua received special approval from Zhang Xinghan and asked Su Hanyun to go out for a walk.  Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Zhao Zhenfan, arrived at the recruit training base located on the bank of the Xiliao River.  This place is not far from the division headquarters. Zhang Xinghan, Zhao Zhenfan and others took Guo Zhong and other guards and arrived at the recruit training base within a short time of walking.  The recruits here include more than a thousand members of the du 1i regiment brought by Zhang Xinghan from Songyuan, as well as the recruits recruited by Yaozhao Zhenfan from various places in Tongliao.  Now the number has exceeded 3,000.  The person in charge of training these recruits was Deputy Division Commander Huang Xiansheng. He took a large number of wounded soldiers from the former Shenyang Garrison Brigade who had just been discharged from the hospital to conduct pre-war basic training for these recruits.  When Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Zhenfan arrived, the veterans were conducting one-on-one training for the new recruits under the supervision and command of Huang Xiansheng.  Especially the du 1i regiment brought from Songyuan, many of them are local hunters and stragglers.  After being recruited by Ding, they have undergone some training, so in terms of basic shooting and other aspects, they can completely drive the recruits who have just joined the army from farmers and herdsmen.  The training of recruits in the 1i Division is more luxurious than any recruits in China at this time.  Because they can shoot without hesitation with bullets. If they miss one shot, they can shoot ten, a hundred, or even a thousand.  This is impossible for the warlords in China and even for the central yang army of President Chiang Kai-shek.  Some troops even practice gun-raising in theory before actually going into battle.  The so-called three points and one line have no practice at all.  Gunshots were heard one after another along the Xiliao River, echoing on the river for a long time.  "Master, Brother Guoping, you are here." Seeing Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Zhenfan walking hand in hand, Huang Xiansheng hurriedly walked over to greet them.  "Brother Jing Zhong, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "This is all duty, there is no such thing as hard work or not." Huang Xian said.  "How is it? How are the training of these new recruits?" Zhang Xinghan and Er Ru asked while looking at the new recruits who were actively training.  "Fortunately, many of these people are from Orions, and some of them are already good at shooting. The training is much easier than that of ordinary farmers." Huang Xiansheng replied.  "By the way, have you thought about the issue of recruiting new soldiers?" Huang Xiansheng asked.  "Although we can still organize another main force regiment on the 1st, I am afraid that the official designation will not be available for the time being." Zhang Xinghan mused: "After discussion with the chief of staff, we decided to organize them into the temporary Tongliao Defense Reinforcement Regiment, and the regiment leader will be 7o1  Liu Guodong, deputy commander of the regiment, is responsible for the security of the base area. " "Well, this method is good. One garrison regiment plus the airport garrison brigade, the strength of the two regiments is enough to ensure the security of our base area.  The four main regiments can all be used for offensive or mobile operations," Huang Xiansheng said.  "Of course, the reason why they are organized into a garrison regiment is because as a second-line reserve force, they can have more time to train. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not have combat missions for the time being. Moreover, we must regard them as our  The base is to continuously recruit new soldiers, and after being trained by the garrison regiment, they can continuously provide wartime troops for the four main regiments," Zhang Xinghan said.  "This strengthened garrison regiment is temporarily organized into three infantry battalions, one air defense battalion, and other units directly under the Ruoqian Regiment. The specific follow-up work will be handled by you and the chief of staff." Zhang Xinghan instructed.  "Okay, no problem, just leave it to us." Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement.  "Brother Jing Zhong, let's go to Qinglong Mountain together." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Going to Qinglong Mountain?" "Yes, I'm going to inspect the defense lines of the 7o2 and 7o4 regiments. After all, this is the gateway to our base area, so there is no room for carelessness." Zhang Xinghan said.  “I’ll arrange the work at hand right now.” After Huang Xiansheng said that, he walked straight towards the training team.  Not long after, Sanru, accompanied by Guo Zhong and a police platoon, left the division headquarters in a Guppy vehicle and drove towards Qinglong Mountain.  …………… Lushun Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Being guessed by Gao Zhihang, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters wanted to prevent the naval transport troops, the divisions of the Sixth Army and a large number of military supplies from being attacked again by the Du 1i Division.  Agree with Ishihara Kanji’s proposal to provide reinforcements and reinforcements to the local air force.Before the arrival of the air force, all operations were carried out at night.  At this moment, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, was thundering.  Because although Jin Yao Bai Yao escaped another air attack by the Du 1i Division, the military port dock was severely damaged.  Although each division dispatched engineering regiments, the Dalian garrison gendarmerie also recruited a group of strong Chinese laborers from the city to carry out emergency repairs.  However, it will be difficult to completely repair it for a while, resulting in the inability to resume use for the next three days or even longer.  The dock cannot be used, and the naval transport ships are useless even if they enter the military port.  Soldiers can barely get ashore with small boarding boats and other equipment, but large artillery, tanks, and large quantities of artillery shells and other military supplies cannot get ashore.  "General, please don't calm down. Our sea-based and 6-based aviation forces and a large number of air defense forces can all arrive in a week at most. By then, we will no longer have to suffer air attacks from the China Army without being able to fight back.  It will take at most another month for the Imperial Army to complete all strategic preparations and assembly, and this month will not pose any substantial threat to the strength of the enemy and ourselves. Once the Imperial Army has fully landed on 6 and prepared sufficient strategic supplies,  Victory still belongs to us, and the imperial army's plan to capture the entire three eastern provinces can still be realized, so there is no need to be impatient, let alone angry, please stay calm. " "Yes," Nanjiro said after listening to Ishihara Kanji's comforting analysis and persuasion.  My mood calmed down a lot, and I nodded in agreement.  Later he asked: "By the way, how is the implementation of Itagaki-kun's so-called infiltration plan? Is there any substantial progress?" "It is currently in progress. With Itagaki-kun's ability, I believe that substantial results will be achieved soon.  ." Ishihara smiled and replied.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 126: Inspection of Positions

    Our own air force lost air superiority, and the assembly of hundreds of thousands of troops was forced to take place at night.  This is a shame for the entire Japanese army.  Everyone is sharpening their swords and trying hard, waiting for the orders from the Kwantung Army headquarters and their respective division commanders, and then they will attack the Tongliao Division, which has brought shame to the entire Japanese Empire and is the sworn enemy of the entire Yamato nation.  Attack.  As the commander of the Du 1i Division, Zhang Xinghan was regarded as an enemy by officers at all levels of the Japanese army, and they wished they could crush him alive and eat him alive to vent their hatred.  And Seishiro Itagaki, who was the main planner of the September 18th Incident, started an attack in another way.  He teamed up with Kenji Doihara’s Northeast Branch of the Super High School and his own investigation team to send a large number of agents to Tongliao and its surrounding areas.  Started to investigate the current situation in Tongliao, as well as the deployment of the garrison troops.  Among them, Doihara Kenji specially sent an ace agent whom he valued very much and deliberately trained.  She is the famous Nan Zao Yunzi in history. During the war of aggression against China, she used her enchanting beauty to capture many people from the Nanjing government under her pomegranate skirt, and continuously stole important information from the national government.  .  Two years ago, Nan Zao Yunzi was sent to Shanghai. More than two years of practice and training as an agent have made Nan Zao Yunzi an extremely outstanding and qualified agent.  It is no exaggeration to say that she is now a veritable flower of the empire.  The reason why Doihara Kenji, an old agent, transferred her here is because the situation in Northeast China has always put the imperial army at a disadvantage.  He hopes that he can complete some special plans with the best agent of the empire that he has carefully cultivated, thereby helping the imperial army to dismantle and eliminate the Chinese resistance forces in the Northeast.  Especially Zhang Xinghan’s Tongliao Division 1i.  In Mulitu Town, southeast of Tongliao, an ox cart pulled some sorghum straw out of the town and was slowly heading east along the dirt road.  The driver was an old man in his fifties, dressed as a farmer, holding the reins of the cow in one hand, and carrying a whip made of a strip of coarse cloth in the other.  What’s a bit special is that behind the old man is a middle-aged man wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket and a plush fur hat, with a rectangular suitcase beside him.  This person was none other than Cao Binghua, who secretly sneaked into Tongliao a few days ago to meet Su Hanyun.  All Shenyang soldiers and civilians evacuated to Tongliao safely and smoothly, and Cao Binghua's work was also moved to Tongliao.  This time, he found out an extremely important piece of news through Su Hanyun, that is, Zhang Xinghan's family had a way to smuggle arms.  And it is said that this channel is still in Russia. This is very important news. In order to confirm the truth or falsehood, he must leave Tongliao and go to Peking in person to report to his organization.  And ask the organization to identify the authenticity through its relationship with the Russian people.  In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, he deliberately pretended to go to Zhangwu County to visit his bride, and hired an old man who happened to be going to Zhangwu to take his ox cart there.  When the two of them drove an ox cart through Qinglong Mountain and traveled less than ten miles to the east, they passed through a forest.  Suddenly, several strong men dressed as farmers rushed out from both sides of the road. They held pistols and surrounded the ox cart.  The old man driving the bullock cart was so frightened that he fell off the cart. Cao Binghua, who was sitting in the cart, clearly saw that the person blocking the road was holding a tortoise box, that is, a Southern Type 14 pistol.  With a heavy heart, he quickly pretended to be frightened, put his head in his hands and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare my life, if you have something to say, if you have something to say, please say it." But those big men were indifferent, looking at him with indifferent expressions, holding in their hands  The black muzzle of his pistol was still pointed at Cao Binghua.  Just as Cao Binghua was shaking, he was secretly thinking about how to escape.  Two young women wearing ordinary rural girl clothes walked out of the woods hand in hand.  Cao Binghua quietly took a look at these two young women from the corner of his eye. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they still could not hide their graceful figures and beautiful faces.  From their skin, eyes and behavior, Cao Binghua can conclude that they are by no means ordinary rural women.  And the respectful behavior of the big men surrounding him towards their couple also confirmed Cao Binghua's guess.  When a tall man saw the two men, he quickly stepped forward and bowed his head: "Sir, we stopped a suspicious target." "Well, Qiande is good." The one who spoke was naturally Nan Zao Yunzi, and she  Next to me, Yoshiko Kawashima, the ace agent of the Northeast Branch of the Special High School, who has been working in Northeast China for many years.  She once participated in the imperial concubineThe incident directly killed Zhang Zuolin, and she was even involved in the September 18th Incident. She was an extremely outstanding female imperial agent who could rival Nan Zao Yunzi.  But this time Kawashima Yoshiko became Minami Yunko's deputy, not because her ability was lower than Minazou Yunzi's, but because she was not a real Japanese person.  Her father is Aixinjueluo Shanfan, Prince of Manchu Qingsu. She is the fourteenth daughter of Shanfan. Her Manchu name is Aixinjueluo Xianju, and her Chinese name is Jin Bihui.  After saying that, Nanzo Yunzi and Kawashima Yoshiko focused their attention on Cao Binghua at the same time.  Feeling the two sharp gazes, Cao Binghua lowered his head with some guilt and his whole body was shaking.  "Raise your head, stop pretending." Nan Zao Yunzi suddenly spoke with a cold and frightened tone.  Cao Binghua was shocked, but he still pretended to be scared and trembling, holding his head with his hands and saying: "Xia Xia, please forgive me, Xia Xia, please forgive me." Nan Zao Yunzi snorted with some disdain and said: "It seems that you are planning to get through?  Let me tell you, just now my entrance suddenly surrounded you, the old man had a truly natural reaction, and you hesitated for about ten seconds, and finally chose to muddle through after weighing the pros and cons, right? "  Cao Binghua was shocked in his heart, but on the surface he was still holding on.  Nan Zao Yunzi stopped talking nonsense to him and winked at his two subordinates.  The two Japanese agents raised their guns and tried to get past. They first threw Cao Binghua's suitcase on the ground, and after opening it, they found nothing unusual.  Seeing this, Cao Binghua quickly begged for mercy: "Hero, you see, heroine, I am an honest person. I am going to Zhangwu to visit relatives. If you want money, just take it all. I have more than a dozen more in my suitcase."  "Oh, and my watch." As he spoke, Cao Binghua hurriedly took off a pocket watch on his left arm and handed it to Nanzo Yunzi and Kawashima Yoshiko who were standing in front of him.  Nan Zao Yunzi took a step forward and reached out to grab his pocket watch. Unexpectedly, Cao Binghua, who had been squatting on the bullock cart, suddenly felt troubled.  He grabbed Nan Zao Yunzi’s arm at an extremely fast speed and pulled it forward. With lightning speed, his other hand took out an American m1922 automatic pistol and pressed it against Nan Zao Yunzi’s temple.  Kawashima Yoshiko and other agents were shocked when they saw this sudden change.  "Stand still, if you dare to move forward again, I will kill her with one shot." Cao Binghua shouted confidently with the hostage in hand.  Kawashima Yoshiko raised her hands to signal her subordinates not to act rashly.  Nan Zao Yunzi, who was held hostage, was calm and said with a smile: "You are indeed no ordinary person." "Stop talking nonsense and make way for me, otherwise I will kill you with one shot." Cao Binghua  He used it to butt the pistol and threatened.  While he was speaking, he had already turned Nanzo Yunzi around, clasping her shoulders with one hand, and holding a gun against the back of her head with the other.  Kawashima Yoshiko was forced to order the agents to retreat, and Cao Binghua led Nanzo Yunzi forward cautiously.  Before he had taken two steps, Nan Zao Yunzi suddenly tilted his head while he was looking at the agents on both sides.  His right leg suddenly kicked up high, directly hitting Cao Binghua's pistol and hitting him in the face.  While Cao Binghua was panicking, Nan Zaoyunzi quickly bent down and swept his legs. Because the ground was covered with ice and snow and was very slippery, Cao Binghua's feet were unstable and he was swept to the ground on the spot.  Then she stepped forward with strong skills, and hit Cao Binghua hard on the chest with a roundhouse kick, causing him to vomit blood from the mouth.  Kawashima Yoshiko and other agents had already taken the opportunity to surround him, with their guns pointed at Cao Binghua.  Nan Zao Yunzi was afraid of the ice and snow on his legs, and said with great disdain: "You don't overestimate your capabilities." …………………… Qinglong Mountain 7o2 regiment position.  Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others, was inspecting the defenses of each battalion and company.  Qinglong Mountain is located between Mulitu Town and Nugusitai Town. It runs east-west. It borders the southern foothills of the Greater Khingan Mountains in the northeast and the Xiliao River in the west. It is a natural barrier for Tongliao. The main highway from Tongliao to Shenyang starts from the mountain.  Cross across.  Zhang Xinghan built defensive positions in depth on both sides of the highway with the 7o2 Regiment and the 7o4 Regiment relying on the Qinglong Mountain ladder, which blocked the only main road from Shenyang to Tongliao.  Standing at the foot of Qinglong Mountain and looking down, Zhang Xinghan held up a telescope and looked for a while, then said to Wang Yicai, the leader of the accompanying 7o2 Regiment: "Yicai, the defensive positions ahead must be dug in strict accordance with the standards I set for you, in a circular shape.  The fortifications must be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, dug in an S shape, and more anti-gun holes must be dug, and the tops must be reinforced with steel plates and other materials. General machine gun positions and battalion and company-level light mortar positions must also be carefully constructed.  Apart from that, ???It is necessary to lay a lot of mines, especially the roads in the middle of the valley. They must all be set up as minefields. Even if your frontal defense fails, it will make it difficult for the Japanese to move forward. This will also buy time for the second line of defense.  .  " "Yes, please bear in mind your humble position.  "Wang Yicai quickly wrote them down one by one with his adjutant. "There are also artillery battalions and artillery positions directly under the artillery company of your regiment. It is best to deploy them in the anti-slope position on the other side of the mountain, so as to avoid the Japanese artillery retaliation.  "Zhang Xinghan turned around and looked at the top of the mountain and said: "Deploy the artillery on the reverse slope of the mountain, from a high position. Not only will you have Yaoran's defense, but the artillery attack will have more advantages.  " Wang Yicai immediately motioned to the adjutant to write it down quickly. "Let's go to the 7o4 group to have a look.  "Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to signal, and immediately led Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others into the defensive position of the 704th Regiment. "Master, sit down and walk slowly.  "Wang Yicai and his lieutenants quickly stood up and saluted.

    Zhang Xinghan and his party inspected the defense line of the 704th Regiment again, and asked the regiment leader Zhang Shixian to strengthen the fortifications. After paying attention to some details, they returned to the division headquarters. That night, Zhang Xinghan announced the formal establishment of the Tongliao Garrison Regiment and transferred Liu Guodong, deputy commander of the 702nd Regiment, to serve as  Head of the group.  Three main infantry battalions were established first. In order to successfully establish the air defense battalion, Zhang Xinghan specially transferred a dozen veterans of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns from the airport defense brigade (Reading Battalion) and assigned them to Liu Guodong to use them as the basis.  Form an air defense battalion.  After the formation of the garrison was completed, his father Zhang Yuxi sent someone to inform him that he would go to Rehe for trading in three days.  Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Zhao Zhenfan to prepare weapons and ammunition, and also ordered Li Zhenyuan's armored company and Sabli's cavalry regiment to be ready at any time.  Three days later, Zhang Xinghan led the entire armored company, two battalions of the cavalry regiment (one battalion served as guard defense at the Huolinhe Coal Mine), and one hundred and twenty Dodge ten-wheel military trucks.  Pulling 100,000 rifles, 2,000 pistols, 300 light and heavy machine guns, and 100 60mm mortars and a large number of bombs, grenades, and artillery shells were launched.  If a 38-type rifle weighs 3.95 kilograms, it is calculated as four kilograms. One hundred thousand rifles equals four hundred tons.  As for the Dodge ten-wheel truck, each vehicle weighs ten tons, has a dead weight of three tons, and a load capacity of seven tons. One hundred and twenty vehicles have a load capacity of 840 tons.  Even with most of the ammunition added, the load of these 120 Dodge ten-wheel trucks is more than enough to pull them all.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan personally led the armored company and cavalry troops to escort weapons and equipment to Rehe to trade with Shanxi, Chahar and other warlords.  Naturally, it is to prepare for the occupation of Rehe in the future, and to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the Rehe area. The plain of Rehe is a thousand miles away, which is very suitable for the advancement of mechanized troops. Once you gain a foothold in Tongliao in the future, it is necessary to get involved in Rehe.  Because Rehe is close to Chahar and Hebei, it can more conveniently border the pass, and trade and recruitment are much more convenient.  There are also a large number of iron ores, coal mines and gold mines as well as a large number of non-metallic minerals in Rehe.  While Zhang Xinghan personally led his troops to escort a large number of weapons and ammunition to Jehol secretly.  Xinmin, in the dungeon of the Japanese military police headquarters.  Cao Binghua was suffering inhuman torture. Nan Zaoyun, who had changed into a military uniform, walked up to the dying Cao Binghua and said in a joking tone: "Can't you tell, your bones are quite strong?" "You guys kill him.  Leave me alone, I won't say anything," Cao Binghua said weakly, unable to bear the torture.  "Want to die?" Nan Zaoyun showed an angelic smile, and suddenly his tone changed to a sharp and sinister tone: "It's not that easy. You Chinese invented a kind of punishment in ancient times. It's called Lingchi. I think you want to  Let’s try it. “Well, I also want to see how many swords you can bear without dying? Ten swords? Or a thousand swords?” Cao Binghua looked in front of him with fear.  This femme fatale woman with an angelic face cursed in grief: "You devil-like woman, you will not die well." "I advise you to save your energy, because I'm worried that you won't be able to see yourself.  The moment the heart was cut off, it was such a pity," Nan Zaoyun said in an understatement, pretending to be regretful.  At this time, some Japanese jailers had already begun to prepare torture instruments. Looking at the bright and sharp blades, Cao Binghua became even more frightened.  Who is Nan Zaoyun? She is good at observing words and emotions. She immediately clapped her hands and a jailer pulled up the wallpaper blocking the wall of the secret room.  Behind the wallpaper is a piece of transparent glass. Through the glass, you can clearly see a young and beautiful woman wearing scantily clad clothes. Her blood-swelling figure is looming. She is seducing those who are curious to look at her with a very seductive posture and eyes.  Cao Binghua.  Nan Zaoyun was very satisfied with Cao Binghua's surprised expression and said with a smile: "How is it? Isn't she very tempting? I'll give you two choices. The first is to tell the truth and cooperate with the imperial army. Not only will I guarantee that your life will be safe, but  And I will give you that beautiful woman to enjoy, and other benefits will continue to come to you. "Second, prepare to experience Ling Chi's feelings." After saying that, Nan Zaoyun didn't wait for Cao Binghua's reaction, and held the knife on the side.  Waving his hands, he said: "Let's do it." "Hai!" The two sturdy ghosts lowered their heads suddenly, then picked up the sharp blades they had prepared and walked towards Cao Binghua.  Looking at the bright sharp blade in the hands of the Japanese jailer, Cao Binghua felt a cold air coming towards him.  With his liver and gallbladder split, he had no time to think about it, and quickly shouted: "Spare my life, spare your life, I'll attack, I'll attack, I'll attack them all." In the end, Cao Binghua chose to give in, and he put hisHe fully disclosed his identity and the work he was responsible for.  When Nan Zaoyun learned that Cao Binghua had actually arranged the latent agents into the command center of the force reader, he was quite satisfied.  Soon someone was sent to treat Cao Binghua’s injuries, and the comfort woman brought from the comfort station was rewarded to Cao Binghua.  After enjoying the enjoyment, Cao Binghua worked hard. In order to further please Nan Zaoyun, he told the organization he knew about "Rebirth 1985" Super All-rounder Full Text Reading "Latest Chapter List" The organization's secret joint point in the Northeast and a large number of  The entire list of secret agents was told to Nan Zaoyun.  Nan Zaoyun immediately reported it to Kenji Doihara. In just one day, Kenji Doihara destroyed more than a dozen secret contact points of the Red Army in Dalian, Yingkou and other places, and arrested a large number of agents.  Nan Zaoyun, who had made great achievements, was very excited, and at the same time, he began to brew an even crazier plan.  "Mr. Cao, in order to reward you for your contribution to the empire, I have decided on something." In an office, Nan Zaoyun exhaled like blue and said to the silent Cao Binghua.  Facing the charming look on Nan Zaoyun's face, Cao Binghua couldn't bring up the slightest desire. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare to think about it.  Because he knew what a powerful cold-blooded creature the woman in front of him was.  "Everything the villain did was right." Cao Binghua nodded tremblingly, not even daring to raise his head.  "Mr. Cao, our empire has always made clear rewards and punishments. If you have made meritorious service, of course I will reward you." Nan Zaoyun walked over, put a hand on Cao Binghua's shoulder, and looked at her with charming eyes.  , the other hand deliberately opened the neckline, revealing her plump breasts.  Being tempted at such a close distance, Cao Binghua's breathing became a little rapid. Nan Zaoyun was indeed a very beautiful woman.  She has a plump figure and skin like snow, especially between her eyebrows, which always exudes a strong aura of foxiness, which is breathtaking.  Many people cannot resist her temptation, and Cao Binghua is not surprised either.  But he didn’t dare to act rashly. She didn’t know whether Nan Zaoyun was sincerely rewarding her, or whether he was deliberately testing her and making fun of herself.  Seeing that Cao Binghua was lustful but not bold, Nan Zaoyun took the initiative to grab Cao Binghua's big hand and press it towards his soft spot.  Cao Binghua couldn't bear it anymore, let out a deep roar like a wild beast, and threw Nan Zaoyun onto the desk.  …………………………………After two days of rapid march, Zhang Xinghan finally led his troops to reach the transaction place agreed upon by both parties - Chifeng.  The contact person arranged by his father had already come to greet him and informed Yan Xishan that the person had arrived.  At this time, a regiment of Tang Yulin was stationed in Chifeng. With insufficient self-protection, how could they dare to provoke the mighty force of force readers.  But what surprised Zhang Xinghan was that the traders sent by Yan Xishan actually came from Chifeng County.  Out of doubt, Zhang Xinghan ordered his troops to retreat twenty miles as a precaution.  Ask the contact person to tell Yan Xishan’s representative that if he wants to trade, come alone, otherwise the transaction will be cancelled.  To Zhang Xinghan’s surprise, Yan Xishan’s representative was not angry, but actually came to Zhang Xinghan’s temporary residence alone.  After meeting, Zhang Xinghan always felt that the person who came here looked familiar, and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if you hold any positions in the Shanxi-Sui Army?" "Thanks to the love of Commander Yan, I am now the commander of the 35th Army and the commander of the 73rd Division."  The person who comes is neither humble nor arrogant.  "Oh? Could it be that you are Fu Zuoyi, General Fu who became famous in the Battle of Zhuozhou?" Zhang Xinghan was extremely surprised, because he knew that at this time in history, there was only one 35th Army, and that was Fu Zuoyi stationed in Suiyuan.  department.  "Haha, it's me." Fu Zuoyi smiled calmly.  "How dare you make a single move?" Fu Zuoyi asked.  "Haha, I'll tell you the truth, I am Zhang Xinghan, the lieutenant general of Tongliao Duli Division." Zhang Xinghan told him frankly.  "Sure enough, it's General Zhang who is famous outside the pass. Fu recognized you as soon as we met, but he was a little unsure. Thank you General for telling me frankly." Fu Zuoyi secretly praised and smiled in his heart.  "General Fu, please be frank. Of course Zhang can't hide it." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he asked again: "But there is something I don't know, and I hope General Fu will make it clear." "Please speak." Fu Zuoyi waved his hand.  "As far as I know, Chifeng County is under the jurisdiction of the Tang Yulin Department of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army. General Fu came to trade with me this time. How could he walk out of Chifeng County with such swagger? Is there something fishy in this?" Zhang Xinghan expressed his doubts.  ? ??Actually, there's nothing fishy. I'm just familiar with the Chifeng garrison commander, and after this transaction is completed, we will give him a certain percentage of dividends. That's why he agreed to us conducting a secret transaction on the territory of Chifeng and doing it for us.  Confidentiality.  "Fu Zuoyi explained. "Oh?  Is there such a thing?  "Zhang Xinghan was not without surprise. After all, Tang Yulin's subordinates can be considered a member of the Northeast Army. Not only did he not report such a situation in his jurisdiction, but he also participated in it. It has to be said that Zhang Xiaoliu's control over the Northeast Army is really important.  Much worse than him. “In doing business, we must first learn to give benefits to others, and then people will be convenient for us.  "Fu Zuoyi said with a smile. "Yeah.  " "General Zhang, can we talk about business now?  " "Okay, have you brought the money?  " "Of course, can you take a look at the goods first?  "    "no problem.  "After that, Zhang Xinghan stood up and led Fu Zuoyi outside. (To be continued)

    Needless to say, the quality of the weapons and equipment brought by Zhang Xinghan, whether they are captured Japanese-style weapons or self-produced imitation Japanese-style weapons from the Shenyang Arsenal. When you get the equipment inside the customs and send it to the army, they will definitely be elites.  Fu Zuoyi, who was born in the army, personally tested some weapons and was very satisfied. He put down a Type 79 and turned around and asked: "General Zhang, this gun is good." "That's right, these are all Type 79s produced by our Shenyang Arsenal.  The range and power of the standard rifle are almost the same as those of Japan's 38-year-old Gaidu," Zhang Xinghan said quite proudly.  "So, what's the price?" Fu Zuoyi asked, pretending to be slow.  "The rifle is equipped with one thousand rounds of ammunition for eighty oceans. One 60mm mortar costs one thousand oceans. One 70mm field gun costs one thousand and five oceans. Each shell has 30 ocean shells. One light machine gun costs one hundred and twenty fast oceans.  , three hundred heavy machine guns, each equipped with three thousand rounds of machine gun ammunition." Zhang Xinghan said the price he had already thought of.  After hearing this, Fu Zuoyi reacted as Zhang Xinghan expected. He looked at Zhang Xinghan in disbelief and asked, "General Zhang, are you sure you are not joking?" "Of course, how could I joke with General Fu about this?  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "But" Fu Zuoyi stopped talking.  Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese: "General Fu, I know what you want to say. Take this Japanese-style rifle as an example. One thousand rounds of ammunition plus a new gun will cost about forty-two dollars to produce. According to today's  The exchange rate between silver dollars and US dollars is about 120 dollars. If it is a normal arms trade, plus transportation costs, it will cost at least 150 dollars to 200 dollars for light and heavy machine guns and mortars.  Not to mention the cannon, the ex-factory price of the 60mm mortar is four hundred dollars. "Yes, I didn't expect General Zhang to sell it to us at such a cheap price," Fu Zuoyi said with excitement and gratitude.  .  "The reason why I did this is because we are all descendants of the Yanhuang people, and we are all China's national defense force. If it were not forced by the daily life and normal payment of military pay for all the soldiers of my division and hundreds of thousands of people, Zhang  We can even give these weapons and ammunition to the Jin-Sui Army allies for free," Zhang Xinghan said sincerely, as if he had completely forgotten that the weapons and ammunition cost him not even a dime.  I also forgot that most of these weapons and ammunition were left behind by Zhang Xiaoliu and the Japanese.  "Fu Zuoyi admires General Zhang for his high moral integrity!" Fu Zuoyi solemnly said with admiration on his face.  "It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning. I wonder how much General Fu plans to ask for?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "Originally, Chief Yan gave me an order to purchase 30,000 rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, and three base numbers of ammunition. Now that General Zhang has given such a favorable price, I decided to purchase 50,000 rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, and 50,000 light and heavy machine guns at one time.  One hundred and fifty, fifty heavy machine guns, one hundred mortars, fifty field guns, and one thousand rounds of artillery shells each," Fu Zuoyi said boldly after thinking about it.  Zhang Xinghan took out a portable notebook and made a quick calculation. After a while he nodded and said: "Rifles are four million, light and heavy machine guns are thirty-three thousand, mortars plus field artillery and artillery shells are six hundred and twenty thousand, a total of four hundred and sixty thousand."  Fifty-three thousand yuan. Well, for General Fu's sake, I'll give you a discount of 153,000 yuan. Just pay me a total of 4.5 million yuan. " "General Zhang is really generous.  Chief Yan and the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties expressed their gratitude," Fu Zuoyi said with cupped hands.  Zhang Xinghan held his hand and said meaningfully: "Hey, General Fu doesn't need to thank me on behalf of Commander Yan. The reason why I can give you a discount of 150,000 yuan is because I admire General Fu as a person who has been famous for a long time.  , I was extremely happy when I saw him today. "How can Fu Zuoyi be so valued by the general?" Fu Zuoyi was very moved.  The two of them cherished each other for a while, and the transaction was successfully completed.  Four and a half million oceans, Fu Zuoyi used two regiments of troops and a large number of strong laborers to transport them to the vicinity of the trading place and secretly delivered them to Zhang Xinghan.  The total weight of 4.5 million oceans reached 117,000 kilograms. Zhang Xinghan only used ten Dodge ten-wheel trucks to load them all.  In the next five days, Zhang Xinghan made several transactions with Pang Bingxun, Sun Dianying and other Northwest Army warlords.  He sold more than one million oceans worth of weapons and ammunition. Together with the transactions with the Jinsui Army, he had already earned about six million oceans from this trip.  In the end, there were more than 30,000 rifles, more than 500 pistols and a batch of ammunition left.  The 300 light and heavy machine guns and 100 60mm mortars that I brought with me, as well as some 70mm field guns that I produced from watches, were all sold out.  Hand grenades and shells also sold poorly.?Much.  It can be seen that warlords of all sizes still like light and heavy machine guns and artillery very much.  Since he could not find a competent buyer for the time being, Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to take back the remaining 30,000 rifles and ammunition.  "It is still the powerful local warlords like Yan Laoxi who have money. Sun Dianying's generation is far behind him." Zhang Xinghan sighed secretly on the way back.  It is indeed true that Yan Xishan has been in power in Shanxi, Suiyuan and other places for nearly 20 to 30 years. Shanxi, Suiyuan and other places have experienced a period of relatively peaceful development under his jurisdiction.  This has provided a good environment for economic development and growth in the Jinsui region, thus establishing the strength of the Jinsui Army among local warlords in the country.  Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, excluding Chairman Chiang’s Central Army, the local powerful warlords who controlled the three fertile eastern provinces were stronger than the Shanxi-Sui Army.  Others such as Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and Li Zongren's Gui Clan cannot compare with the Jinsui Army in terms of financial resources and equipment level.  Therefore, Yan Laoxi was able to purchase weapons and equipment worth millions of dollars in such a large sum. However, it is not difficult to tell from Fu Zuoyi's tone that the amount of money allocated to him by Yan Xishan seemed to be far more than that.  “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the ability to make the decision and buy 20,000 more guns at once.  And the purchase intensity can also be confirmed from the side. Yan Xishan has spent a lot of money on his return to power this time.  But these are not what Zhang Xinghan needs to care about right now, through this trade.  He has received an income of nearly 6 million yuan, and his reading teacher will no longer have financial difficulties in a short period of time.  And with the income of these 6 million, the mining of Huolinhe Coal Mine can also use its own business name as a cover to greatly expand the basic strength of the Tongliao base area.  For example, a large number of new tanks were “purchased” to expand the armored force, and aviation and armored training colleges were established to train high-tech reserve personnel.  It also helped the Shenyang Arsenal to add new machinery and equipment, and the weapons and ammunition produced by the new production line were supplied to the readers for their own use.  The weapons and equipment produced by the original production line were sold to various warlords, large and small, and they profited from it.  This not only solves the financial problem, but also solves the urgent needs of the base area development and the army's armored and aviation forces.  Only by solving these problems can you command your troops to fight against the Japanese army without any worries.  Zhang Xinghan sold his weapons and was leading his troops back to the base area on the same day.  Cao Binghua, who had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, secretly sneaked into Tongliao again and notified Su Hanyun in a secret way.  Inside the division headquarters, Huang Xiansheng was discussing with Zhao Zhenfan the reconstruction of the arsenal and other matters.  Su Hanyun walked to the door obediently: "Report!" Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng turned around after hearing the voice, "Deputy Company Commander Su, what's wrong?" "Come here, I want to ask for leave." Su Hanyun walked in and said.  "Ask for leave?" Zhao Zhenfan said subconsciously: "What, what's the matter?" Seeing that Su Hanyun was a little reserved, Huang Xiansheng smiled and patted Zhao Zhenfan on the shoulder: "Guoping, let her go, don't ask so many questions." "Why?  What?" Zhao Zhenfan didn't understand for a moment when he saw Huang Xiansheng winking at him.  Huang Xiansheng stood up and whispered a few words. Zhao Zhenfan suddenly understood and quickly said to Su Hanyun: "Well, Deputy Company Commander Su, I have approved your request for leave. You can go."  He immediately thought of what they were thinking, but instead of explaining, he blushed in embarrassment and said thank you, then turned and left.  After Su Hanyun left, Zhao Zhenfan said to Huang Xiansheng: "Brother Jingzhong, do you think she and Master's younger brother can make it work?" "I think they can, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match." Huang Xiansheng said without thinking.  "I always feel that this Su Hanyun is not as simple as she appears. She is so familiar with the radio business that she has almost eclipsed Captain Li." Zhao Zhenfan said with a frown.  "Guoping, you are too suspicious. She and the teacher's younger brother were classmates in the same school. Later, they graduated and stayed in the school to work, and became Zhang Xinghua's nominal teacher. Since they can travel thousands of miles to Shenyang together,  "I think this little girl is young, beautiful and knowledgeable. What's wrong with being able to do radio? We should have more young talents like this in our country."  "I hope I'm overthinking it." Zhao Zhenfan nodded hard.  &nbsp;……………………In an inconspicuous farmhouse in the northeast corner of Mulitu Town.  Su Hanyun was shocked. She stood up and looked at Cao Binghua in front of her with surprise. She asked uncertainly: "Director Cao, what did you say? The organization wants to get rid of Zhang Xinghan? Why is this? He is an anti-Japanese hero!" "After the organization, we want to get rid of Zhang Xinghan?"  According to the investigation, Zhang Xinghan is the real traitor to the Han Dynasty and not an anti-Japanese hero, so the organization requires you to use your current status to get rid of Zhang Xinghan at all costs," Cao Binghua said with a serious and calm expression.  "How is this possible? How could Zhang Xinghan be a Han annihilator? How could he be a traitor? When he led his men to fight the Japanese in Shenyang, did you know, director? Who among the compatriots in the country didn't know?" Su Hanyun shook her head repeatedly.  Believe the Word.  (To be continued)

    "Comrade Hanyun, listen to me, do you know how Zhang Xinghan got his planes, tanks, cannons and many advanced weapons?" Cao Binghua also stood up and asked patiently to reassure him.  Su Hanyun shook her head.  "That was obtained by colluding with the United States and Germany. He used his father's name to obtain secret support from the United States, Germany and other Western countries through trade. In order to monopolize the Northeast and compete with the big brother of the Soviet Communist Party, in addition to  In addition, he is secretly colluding with Jiang Jie. After he establishes a foothold in the Northeast, he will send troops into the pass to help Jiang encircle and suppress our Red Army. As for the resistance against Japan, it is just for him to gain political capital for himself.  "Cao Binghua said with seriousness.  Su Hanyun still wanted to believe it, and shook her head with a somewhat ugly face. After all, this matter suddenly changed too quickly.  “Just before coming here, Zhang Xinghan was still an upright national hero of the anti-Japanese war in her heart, and he was one of the people she tried hard to win over.  He turned into a traitor in the blink of an eye, especially when he was Zhang Xinghua’s brother, which she couldn’t believe and accept for a while.  Cao Binghua was not impatient and pretended to be understanding: "Comrade Hanyun, I know that it will be difficult for you to accept and change your mind for a while, but there is some unfortunate news that I think I should tell you." "What news?  "Su Hanyun's heart was shaken, and she raised her head and looked at Cao Binghua eagerly.  Cao Binghua pretended to be sad: "Our party's contact point offices in various parts of the Northeast were suddenly attacked by Japanese secret services in the past two days and suffered a devastating disaster. Most of our comrades were killed by the Japanese."  ", including Comrade Cao Xingwen from the Shenyang Contact Point." "What? How is this possible? Is there a traitor among us?" Su Hanyun said in shock.  "No, according to the accurate information I just received, it was Zhang Xinghan who colluded with the Kuomintang agents and deliberately revealed our contact point in the Northeast to Japan." "Zhang Xinghan? How could it be him? In this way, my identity is his.  Have you already seen through it?" Su Hanyun was shocked and confused.  "Probably not yet. Only Comrade Cao Xingwen and I know your specific identity. He has already died in a fight with Japanese agents. Otherwise, you will not be immune to this attack." Cao Binghua said.  Su Hanyun only felt that the situation had darkened for a moment. She really couldn't believe that Zhang Xinghan, who led his troops to resist foreign invasion for the sake of the country and the nation, was actually a sanctimonious tyrant and traitor.  But now, the facts seem to have been laid before her.  When I walked out of the farmhouse, I was on the way back to the division headquarters.  Su Hanyun seemed to have lost her soul, walking slowly and listlessly.  When I thought about Cao Binghua’s sharp eyes before leaving, he asked himself to find a way to kill Zhang Xinghan no matter what, and then thought about Zhang Xinghua turning against him because of his brother’s death.  Her heart was as depressed as a big millstone.  When she left Mulitu Town and just arrived in Tongliao Town, she was about to go back to the division headquarters.  A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Hanyun." Su Hanyun's delicate body trembled, and she turned around mechanically. She saw Zhang Xinghua jumping out of a military Gup truck and running towards her quickly.  "Hanyun, why are you free today?" Zhang Xinghua asked with a smile.  Su Hanyun calmed down and said: "I was ordered to go out to do something, and I plan to go back now." "What about you? Where are you going?" Seeing a bag of salutes on the Gup car Zhang Xinghan was riding,  she asked rhetorically.  "Oh, didn't I tell you two days ago that I was going to be a pilot? I have just completed the handover of work in the company and am about to report to the flying brigade." Zhang Xinghua said.  "Oh." Su Hanyun was a little upset and nodded subconsciously.  "Hanyun, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xinghua noticed something unusual about her and asked with concern.  "Oh, no, I'm fine." Su Hanyun forced a smile.  "Is it really okay?" Zhang Xinghua asked worriedly.  "It's really okay. By the way, are you in a hurry now? Do you have time to walk with me?" Su Hanyun said suddenly.  "No rush, I'll let the driver salute me first and take me to the airport. I'll sign up later. You wait." After Zhang Xinghua finished speaking, without waiting for Su Hanyun to answer, he ran to the Gup car and told the driver a few words.  After that, the driver drove away.  Zhang Xinghua walked to Su Hanyun and said happily: "Hanyun, let's go, where do you think we should go?" "Let's go drinking together?" Su Hanyun thought in her heartHe suddenly made a decision and suggested.  "Drink?" Zhang Xinghua looked at Su Hanyun and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and said, "Okay, let's go to Hongsheng Restaurant in Tongliao Town." Half an hour later, there was a remote place on the second floor of Hongsheng Restaurant.  in the private room.  Zhang Xinghua grabbed Su Hanyun's hand holding the jug and said puzzledly: "Hanyun, what happened to you today? You drank so much wine." Su Hanyun looked at Zhang Xinghua, her cheeks were flushed because of drinking.  He looked good, and said with a smile like a flower: "Xinghua, can you get drunk with me today?" "But" Zhang Xinghua was a little embarrassed, his eyes were full of worry, can a girl drink so much wine be good for her health?  "There's nothing wrong with it. Just think of it as me begging you, okay?" Su Hanyun looked directly at Zhang Xinghua, her beautiful eyes showing such pity that she couldn't help but care for him.  Zhang Xinghua let go of his hand, took the jug over, and filled it up for each of them: "Okay, we won't get drunk until today, and I will accompany you." I don't know how long it took, but both of them had drank.  Drunk, Su Hanyun's pretty face was as red as a ripe apple, which was particularly tempting.  Suddenly she looked at Zhang Xinghua with drunken eyes and said quietly: "Xinghua, if one day I hurt your intimacy, will you hate me?" Zhang Xinghua was also a little conceited and did not carefully appreciate the potential meaning of Su Hanyun's words.  She smiled without thinking: "Hanyun, what are you kidding me about? How could you hurt my relationship? Let me tell you, my parents and my eldest brother already knew that we were dating, and my dad still  She asked me to find a chance to take you home for a meal. "Su Hanyun felt bitter in her heart. She did not deny that they were dating, but continued to ask seriously: "I mean, if, if I really hurt you.  People around me, will you hate me?" Zhang Xinghua seemed to think for a while, and under Su Hanyun's eager gaze, he finally shook his head and said: "No, no matter what time you do, I will not  I will hate you, because, because you are my favorite person in this life, no matter what you do, I will never hate you." Su Hanyun finally couldn't help but burst into tears. She was heartbroken and smiled through tears.  : "You're so stupid." "Hanyun, do you like me?" Zhang Xinghua was already seven or eighty percent drunk, and he asked boldly with the help of his drunkenness.  Su Hanyun felt even more uncomfortable. If she could turn back time, she would rather not come to Shenyang, or even be an ordinary person.  That way she can live a carefree life with Zhang Xinghua forever and stay together for the rest of her life.  After pondering for a while, Su Hanyun made up her mind and did not answer. Instead, she reached out and unbuttoned her collar.  "Hanyun, what are you doing?" Zhang Xinghua vaguely saw Su Hanyun's movements with drunken eyes and asked in confusion.  Su Hanyun did not answer. Instead, she took off her leather jacket and unbuttoned the collar of her white shirt, revealing a patch of snow. She stood up and knocked Zhang Xinghua down.  "Xinghua, I love you" Su Hanyun whispered in Zhang Xinghua's ear with tears in her eyes, and immediately began to help him take off his clothes in a panic.  …………………Three days later, Zhang Xinghan successfully returned to Tongliao with his cavalry regiment and armored company with six million troops.  In the division headquarters, the hearty laughter of Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan kept ringing.  "Haha, great, six million dollars is enough to solve our financial crisis." Huang Xiansheng laughed.  "That's right. Not only will the soldiers' pay be worry-free, but even doubling the army will be more than enough!" Zhao Zhenfan was also extremely excited.  "Haha, anyway, with this amount of money, we don't have to live a tight life these days." Zhang Xinghan smiled and said to Zhao Zhenfan: "Chief of Staff, you can give the military pay to each regiment later. In addition,  Send some to the families of the fallen martyrs to ensure that they can survive this cold winter smoothly. "Okay, I will make arrangements later." Zhao Zhenfan said happily.  Their conversation happened to be heard by Su Hanyun who was passing by to deliver documents. Su Hanyun felt hesitant again. Why did he treat the martyrs who died so well?  Is it to win over people?  This should be.  When she thought of Cao Xingwen and other sacrificed comrades, Su Hanyun became more convinced of this suspicion.  Zhao Zhenfan stood up and left, Zhang Xinghan and Huang Xiansheng also walked out one after another.  Su Hanyun quickly turned around and walked towards the communication room.  "Master, I'm going to the garrison to have a look." After leaving the conference room, Huang Xiansheng said goodbye and left.  "Well, you go ahead."Xinghan nodded and shouted to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go prepare the car, let's go to Dongshan." "Yes." Guo Zhong also left in response.  Zhang Xinghan was the only one left in front of the division headquarters conference room.  Su Hanyun saw the opportunity and couldn't miss it. She held a document in her hand as a cover and secretly hid a pocket-sized gun and walked towards Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan was about to turn around and go back to the conference room to get his helmet and weapons. Su Hanyun suddenly called out to him: "Master." "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan turned around after hearing this.  At this moment, Su Hanyun pulled the trigger, and the pistol hidden under the document suddenly fired. A hot bullet penetrated the thin document and shot towards Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan’s pupils dilated sharply, his face full of shock. He was so close that he had no time to escape.  He had no choice but to tilt his body quickly at the critical moment, and the bullet hit his chest.  His whole body was stunned for a moment, and then he staggered and fell down against the door of the conference room. Dark red blood quickly poured out from the corners of his mouth and wounds.

    As soon as the gunfire rang out, the entire Duli Division headquarters was alerted, including the departed chief of staff Zhao Zhenfan and deputy division commander Huang Xiansheng, who ran back after hearing the news.  The first to return were Guo Zhong, the commander of the police battalion who had just left but had not yet gone far, Xiao Lizi, the commander of the communications company in the communications room, and several guards.  When Guo Zhong and Xiao Lizi saw Zhang Xinghan vomiting blood and fell in front of the conference room door, they quickly ran over with their eyes split open.  With one hand and another, he controlled Su Hanyun who was stunned.  Su Hanyun did not fire the second or third shot because the moment she fired, she regretted it as she had never killed anyone before.  Especially when she saw Zhang Xinghan’s eyes full of confusion and disbelief.  She could feel Zhang Xinghan's heartbreak at being betrayed.  Taking the gun from Su Hanyun's hand and giving it to Xiao Lizi to control, Guo Zhong quickly walked to Zhang Xinghan and shouted anxiously: "Master, are you okay?" Blood was still flowing from the corner of Zhang Xinghan's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to point extremely weakly.  Su Hanyun said intermittently: "Youwho are you?" After saying this, she fainted due to excessive blood loss.  Guo Zhong and Xiao Lizi were filled with grief and shouted: "MasterMaster!" At this time, Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan returned. Seeing this scene, they jumped up and walked quickly to Zhang Xinghan.  Huang Xiansheng stretched out his hand to take a breath, and said thankfully: "Fortunately, Xinghan is still breathing. Hurry, send him to the field hospital." "Battle Commander Guo, you guys hurry up and find the stretcher!" Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly ordered.  .  "Yes." Guo Zhong glared at Su Hanyun, who had not yet recovered, and left quickly with the two guards.  After a while, they found a stretcher and carefully lifted Zhang Xinghan onto the stretcher, quickly running towards the field hospital.  Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng did not follow. Such an unexpected incident suddenly occurred and they wanted to stay and take charge of the overall situation.  "Brother Guoping, what should she do?" Zhao Zhenfan pointed at Su Hanyun who was controlled by Xiao Lizi and asked in a bad tone.  Huang Xiansheng looked at Su Hanyun with a complicated look, waved his hand and said, "Lock him up first." After saying that, he turned and walked into the conference room.  Zhao Zhenfan made arrangements and followed in.  "Brother Guoping, what should we do? What if the master sits on him!" Zhao Zhenfan asked as he entered the room.  "First send police guards to closely guard the field hospital, seal off the news, and protect the division seats to prevent the enemy from entering and a second assassination plan. Second, order the 701st Regiment and the 703rd Regiment to strengthen security in the towns in the base area.  Patrol, and if suspicious objects are found, arrest them immediately. It is better to arrest them by mistake than to miss one. Third, order the airport duli battalion to be more vigilant to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to sabotage and attack the airport, cavalry regiments, armored companies, and newly formed garrison regiments.  , all on standby, with all possible measures in place. "Huang Xiansheng is worthy of being the director of the Provincial Police Department, and he is very good at handling emergencies.  "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhao Zhenfan agreed deeply and responded immediately.  "I also went to the hospital to see Master. I hope that nothing will happen to him and that he will survive this." Huang Xiansheng said.  “You go first, I’ll be there soon.” After saying that, Zhao Zhenfan took the lead and walked out of the conference room.  The field hospital of Duli Division was formed by the merger of several large and small regular Western hospitals in Shenyang City during the Shenyang Defense War.  Not only are the facilities advanced, but there are also many attending physicians who Zhang Xueliang will spend heavily to train and recruit.  During the second to third Shenyang defense battles, due to the heavy casualties of the garrison brigade and the insufficient supply of field hospitals, many patriotic female students came to help save the lives of the wounded and sick.  They all put on nurses’ uniforms and began to work for free in field hospitals.  Zhao Yating, who is only twenty years old, is one of these young envoys in white. She was originally a student at Northeastern University, but she saw the country was in ruins and her compatriots were in trouble.  Like many of her classmates, she planned to give up her writing and join the army to serve the country.  However, because Zhang Xinghan was determined not to accept female soldiers into the army, she and a group of female classmates finally chose to join the field hospital as nurses.  When Guo Zhong and the police carried Zhang Xinghan into the hospital, Zhao Yating and a classmate were drying freshly washed gauze on the lawn of the hospital.  I saw a lieutenant colonel officer with an anxious face, leading a few wolf-like soldiers to carry a stretcher and rampage. The lieutenant colonel officer couldn't help shouting at the top of his voice: "Doctor, doctor, hurry up and rescue  …!” Not long after, several attending doctors from the hospital were informed and rushed over. Zhao Yating found out that when the doctors came in, she saw him.Everyone looked shocked and hurriedly arranged the surgery themselves.  Because of her good performance, Zhao Yating was temporarily hired as an assistant nurse.  The operation was carried out quickly, and Zhao Yating suddenly discovered that the injured Jing was Zhang Xinghan, General Zhang, whom she had met once in Shenyang City.  "How could he be injured? What happened?" Zhao Yating was puzzled.  An attending physician had already begun to anesthetize Zhang Xinghan, but at this moment, Zhang Xinghan, who had been in a coma, suddenly shouted something confused.  "Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about?" One of the attending doctors couldn't help but asked: "You are injured and must operate immediately. I will inject you with anesthesia now." Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan suddenly opened his eyes.  He glanced at the doctors and nurses surrounding him.  Zhang Xinghan spat out one sentence: "Don't give me anesthesia." "This?" Several attending doctors looked at each other in shock.  "I can hold on, I want to have a clear head. The Japanese invaders have not been eliminated, so I must keep a clear mind." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Sir, this bullet is shot into your chest. If you don't inject an anesthetic, you won't be able to bear it." A doctor reminded.  "I can hold on, youyou guys start." Zhang Xinghan's tone was a little weak.  The doctors looked at each other, nodded, and began the operation.  When the scalpel cut open the flesh, Zhao Yating turned her head away in fear.  But she, who helped hold Zhang Xinghan down, could clearly feel from her hands that Zhang Xinghan's body suddenly tensed up, as if all the strength in his body had been concentrated.  As the operation progressed, the nurses and doctors present were sweating nervously on their foreheads, but Zhang Xinghan was always awake. Although he was trying his best to endure the pain, he did not make any sound from beginning to end.  How much endurance and willpower can he endure this physical pain?  Zhao Yating looked at the pale and handsome face that turned a little ferocious due to the severe pain, and a certain string in her heart seemed to be touched.  The operation lasted for about forty minutes, and the bullet was successfully removed. When he heard the snap of the bullet falling into the porcelain plate, Zhang Xinghan's vision finally went dark and he fainted again.  Having lost too much blood and holding on until now, his endurance has reached its limit.  "In ancient times, Guan Gong scraped bones to cure poison. Today, I see Mr. Zhang perform a bullet removal operation without anesthesia. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." After the operation, an attending physician wiped his forehead.  Sweating, he took off his mask and looked at Zhang Xinghan who had fainted.  "Director Tang, is Mr. Zhang's life in danger?" Zhao Yating had just recovered from the extreme shock and asked quickly with concern.  "It was a coincidence that the bullet did not damage Mr. Zhang's vitals. Now that the bullet has been taken out, as long as he does not have a fever, there will be no big problem." The doctor surnamed Tang said.  "Oh." Zhao Yating secretly glanced at Zhang Xinghan's pale face, and a huge stone dropped in her heart.  The scene she just experienced left a huge shock to her. Apart from the shock, her pure heart was also deeply marked by Zhang Xinghan's shocking behavior.  This is you, the real strong-willed man, the real hot-blooded man.  When Director Tang led the doctors and nurses out of the operating room, a large group of military officers had already surrounded the place.  As soon as he saw them coming out, the leading major general hurriedly asked: "How is it? Master, how is he?" Director Tang obviously knew Huang Xiansheng, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander Huang, we have already put the warhead on the ground."  It was successfully taken out, and the warhead coincidentally did not cause any real damage to Mr. Zhang. However, he lost too much blood, and I am worried that he may have a fever. " "Doctor, just tell me whether our teacher's life is in danger.  ?" Guo Zhong asked anxiously through gritted teeth.  "It's hard to say. From a surgical perspective, our operation was very successful. However, if he has a high fever, it may be very troublesome." Director Tang replied.  "If there is anything wrong with the master's seat, I will let that lowly Su Hanyun be buried with him." Guo Zhong said with thunderous hatred.  "Battle Commander Guo, calm down. This is a hospital, don't make any noise." Zhao Zhenfan turned around and scolded.  "You'd better not be too noisy. It will be good for Mr. Zhang to have a quiet environment to rest." Director Tang instructed before leaving.  "Hey, wait a minute, Director Tang." Huang Xiansheng stretched out his hand to stop him: "Please tell me, please, that our teacher's seat was attacked, and everyone must temporarily stay there."It is confidential and must not be disclosed without authorization, otherwise military law will be engaged.  " "Okay, I understand. I will ask all the nurses and doctors in the hospital to keep it strictly confidential.  "Master, do you want to inform the master's family?" Guo Zhong asked after Director Tang and other doctors and nurses left.  Zhao Zhenfan and Huang Xiansheng looked at each other, thought for a while and said, "Don't inform us for the time being. Anyway, now that they know it, they can't do anything except being frightened. Let's wait until Master wakes up."

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 131: Play hard to get

    After being in a coma for a whole day and night, Zhang Xinghan finally woke up on the afternoon of December 21st.  . In the ward, Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Gao Zhihang, Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong and others were all present.  When Zhao Yating carefully fed Zhang Xinghan, he ate a small bowl of rice porridge and left.  Huang Xiansheng and others immediately gathered around Zhang Xinghan's hospital bed.  "Master, it's great that you are safe and sound. Guoping and I are both sweating for you." Huang Xiansheng said with concern.  "Yes, it is my great fortune to be a force-reading master and to survive the catastrophe, Master, and to the Northeast." Zhao Zhenfan said sincerely.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, his face still a little pale, and said half-jokingly: "How can I be willing to die before defeating the Japanese? Besides, even if I want to die, the Lord of Hell will not stop me." "Master.  Sir, how do you deal with that Su Hanyun? She dared to kill Master, I suggest that she be shot immediately." Guo Zhong was furious when he thought that Zhang Xinghan almost died under her gun.  When Su Hanyun was mentioned, the smile on Zhang Xinghan's face froze. He had always thought that Su Hanyun might be a [***].  But she didn’t take it to heart, because from a national standpoint, she really had no chance of doing anything to herself.  In addition, she and Xinghua fell in love with each other, and because she was really suitable for radio work, they kept her at the division headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan thought, no matter whether she is a member of the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, as long as she can serve the country under his command, when she and her brother get married, they will be his younger siblings.  We are all a family, so nothing is a problem.  But he never expected that Su Hanyun would want to kill him.  As a time traveler, he has been very sensitive to this since he encountered an assassination in Shenyang last time.  That’s why he didn’t hesitate to invest and asked Shen Xingye to help him train a group of internal security agents who were responsible for secretly protecting him.  At the same time, it can also be responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence functions.  After something like this happened, Zhang Xinghan had to redefine Su Hanyun's identity.  Even the relationship between her and her brother is very likely to be fake, just to sneak into the division and achieve its ulterior secrets.  But then I thought about it, if Su Hanyun had the intention of assassinating herself from the beginning, then there was no need for her to wait until today to take action?  She had many better opportunities than she had today.  There were too many doubts here, and Zhang Xinghan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he asked Guo Zhong: "Where is she now?" "The humble position has locked her up." Guo Zhong replied.  "Don't touch her for now. Also, don't let my brother know about this." Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes." Although Guo Zhong was not angry, he nodded in response.  "Master, what should we do next? I have blocked the news of your injury and it has not been leaked yet. What do you think we should do?" Huang Xiansheng asked.  "Well done, no news about me will be announced to the public for the time being. I want to see which force is behind Su Hanyun." Zhang Xinghan narrowed his eyes and said.  "Master, do you mean to let Su Hanyun go?" Zhao Zhenfan said uncertainly.  "Before that, we need to make some preparations. Pass my order and the reconnaissance company directly under the division headquarters will go down the mountain immediately. I also order Shen Xingye to come to me quickly to discuss the instructions with him." Zhang Xinghan said.  ??………………the evening of December 21st.  Since there is no prison in the Tongliao base area for the reading force division, Su Hanyun was imprisoned in a dilapidated private house in the eastern suburbs of Tongliao Town, not far from the reading force division headquarters.  Outside the house, Guo Zhong deployed about a squad of troops, with two people guarding the door and others patrolling back and forth within a range of 500 meters.  It was around twelve o'clock in the morning, the night was dark, and the cold wind was howling.  In a private house, Su Hanyun sat in a corner with her hands on her knees and her eyes dull.  He didn’t know whether Zhang Xinghan was alive or dead, but since he had taken action, it meant that her subjective consciousness still believed in Cao Binghua more.  When she thought that Cao Xingwen and a large number of comrades were killed by Zhang Xinghan, her heart was filled with hatred. Coupled with the guilt and longing for Zhang Xinghua, at this moment, her heart was filled with five flavors.  What Zhang Xinghua said yesterday at Hongsheng Restaurant echoed in my ears.  No matter what happens, no matter what you do personally, I will never hate you, because I love you, because you are the woman I love most in my life.  "Xinghua, do you really not hate me?"?Su Hanyun murmured sadly with tears in her eyes.  Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and someone could only hear someone saying loudly and sadly: "Brothers, it's not good, MasterMaster" "What's wrong with Master?" Two people guarding the door  one of the guards asked urgently.  Su Hanyun was also attracted by the conversation outside, and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.  "Master, he was seriously injured and died!" The speaker said in a sad and angry tone: "Get out of your way, I will go in and kill that woman to avenge our teacher." "Squad leader, there is an order in the camp. No one can do it without an order.  Move her." The guard outside the door stopped him.  "You fucking fart, the master is dead, it was this woman who killed him. Don't you want to avenge him? It's in vain that the master is so kind to you." The squad leader was obviously very angry.  The two guards had no choice but to give way and allowed their squad leader to kick the door open.  However, as soon as he entered the room, Su Hanyun, who had been hiding on the left side of the door, suddenly rushed out.  The guard squad leader felt like a cold and sharp object was pressing against his neck.  Su Hanyun said in a cold tone: "Don't move." The monitor remained silent and raised his hands involuntarily.  Su Hanyun quickly snatched a pistol and bullet bag from his waist with her other hand, and knocked him down with a single blow.  At this time, the two guards outside the door noticed something unusual and quickly raised their guns and shouted: "Don't move." Su Hanyun quickly stepped aside, quickly opened the pistol safety, popped the muzzle and fired three shots. The two guards were frightened.  They quickly spread out and lay down, and fired back with a Garand rifle. "Pap bang" The dense bullets suddenly hit the houses and splashed dirt. The sound of gunfire broke the quiet night and echoed in the air for a long time.  Su Hanyun knew that she had to find a way to break out and report the news to Director Cao. When the situation was critical, she caught a glimpse of two wooden-handled grenades on the other side of the waist of the guard squad leader who she had knocked unconscious. Her eyes lit up.  , fired several shots at the door again, and taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress the fire, she quickly rolled on the spot, picked up a grenade as fast as lightning, and then leaned on the right side of the door to unscrew the back cover.  He pulled the fuse and threw the smoking grenade towards the door. Seeing this, the two guards quickly ran away. "Boom" There was a loud noise and a red light suddenly appeared, and the two guards fell down.  He fell into a pool of blood and passed out. The other guards on patrol were obviously running towards this direction, all of them yelling and looking very anxious. Seeing the opportunity, Su Hanyun picked up another grenade and ran out quickly.  , quickly ran north around the house, and soon disappeared into the dark night. After Su Hanyun escaped, a burst of chaotic gunfire rang out near the house. Su Hanyun fled about two miles north and entered a bush.  , changed the magazine and rested for a while, she panted and continued toward the northeast. But she didn't notice that not long after she walked forward, a black figure followed behind her quietly like a ghost.  At the civilian residence, a large number of guards came after hearing the news and surrounded the place. Battalion Commander Guo Zhong checked the situation of the three subordinates. Two were injured and the other was knocked unconscious. It seemed that she was not so cruel.  There was no pain in the killing. After a while, the squad leader who was knocked unconscious woke up, rubbed his neck in pain, and said to Guo Zhong: "Yingzuo, this Su Hanyun has really strong hands, she is definitely not an ordinary person.  " "Nonsense, how could ordinary people assassinate our master?  " "The camp seat, is our master seat really dead?  "The squad leader asked with concern. "No, but from now on, you must keep your mouth shut. No one is allowed to tell me anything about whether the teacher is dead or alive. Otherwise, military law will be engaged, and we will be arrested immediately.  Chase Su Hanyun in the base area!  "Guo Zhong said with a serious attitude. "Yes!  "Hundreds of guards and soldiers present responded at the same time, and immediately dispersed under the leadership of their respective commanders, and began a large-scale arrest operation in the base area. Su Hanyun rushed to the private house in Mulitu Town where she and Cao Binghua met overnight, but  The place was already deserted. The cunning Cao Binghua left the place after meeting her, but Su Hanyun found the secret message he left and secretly noted down the address where they would meet again. Su Hanyun decided to see Zhang Xinghua again.  , because the address left by Cao Binghua is no longer in Tongliao. She wants to see Zhang Xinghua one last time before leaving, even if it is dangerous.?? points.  When she walked out of the private house cautiously, Shen Xingye, who was lying in wait outside, found that there was no one in the house. He did not rush to take action but continued to follow her.  The next morning, guards could be seen running nervously on the streets of various towns in Tongliao.  Since Zhang Xinghua had just signed up in the flying brigade, Gao Zhihang had not yet started formal training and teaching for them.  So he decided to take advantage of this rare free time to go to the division headquarters to see Su Hanyun. After that night, Zhang Xinghua fell in love with Su Hanyun even more deeply and couldn't help himself.  I haven’t seen you for a moment, and I miss you terribly.  Taking the opportunity to take a jeep from the airport to run errands, Zhang Xinghua came to the street of Tongliao Town. Zhang Xinghua came to a food stall.  These are all moved from Shenyang. After arriving in Tongliao, the base of the people is still there, so these time-honored snacks and businesses continue to do their old business with the encouragement and support of the readers.  With infinite happiness, Zhang Xinghua bought a few authentic Shenyang snacks for Su Hanyun, and then walked happily towards the division headquarters.  (To be continued) q

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 132: Follow me back to see the Master

    Zhang Xinghua didn't go far when he noticed someone seemed to be following him.  He suddenly looked back and saw a beautiful figure standing at the entrance of an alley on his left.  When Su Hanyun saw Zhang Xinghua found her, she turned around and left.  Zhang Xinghua was confused and hurriedly chased after him.  Su Hanyun took him through two alleys before stopping.  Zhang Xinghua finally caught up and said in confusion: "Hanyun, why are you running?" Su Hanyun then turned around and looked at Zhang Xinghua with complicated eyes.  Zhang Xinghua saw that her expression was wrong, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Hanyun, what's wrong with you? I bought you breakfast, and I said I would go to the division headquarters to find you, eh? By the way, why are you here so early in the morning?  ? And why did you change your clothes? Why are you not wearing a military uniform? " At this moment, Zhang Xinghua discovered that Su Hanyun not only looked abnormal, she was not wearing a military uniform. She was wearing a black tight-fitting one with a  A black round felt hat.  The corners of Su Hanyun's mouth twitched, and her face was filled with pain as she said, "Xinghua, do you still love me?" "Yes, of course I do, Hanyun, I was planning to ask dad to arrange the wedding for us." Zhang Xinghua said.  When Su Hanyun heard this, she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.  "Hanyun, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Zhang Xinghua was greatly surprised. He stepped forward and held her shoulders distressedly and asked.  With tears on her face, Su Hanyun raised her head and sobbed, looking at Zhang Xinghua's face, and said word for word: "I will kill your eldest brother." Zhang Xinghua's face instantly stiffened, as if struck by lightning, he was stunned on the spot.  "You, what did you say?" Zhang Xinghua's face was full of disbelief.  "I said I killed your eldest brother. I am a member of the Communist Party, and your eldest brother is a traitor. He colluded with the British, American and other powers and killed many of our comrades. I was ordered to kill him." Seeing Zhang Xinghua's reaction, Su Hanyun felt in her heart  Feeling even more uncomfortable, she told him all the facts in one breath.  "You said my eldest brother was a traitor? Did you kill him?" Zhang Xinghua looked sad and didn't care about Su Hanyun's identity. He couldn't believe it was true.  "Hanyun, are you kidding me, right?" "No, I did kill him." Su Hanyun almost collapsed and cried bitterly.  "This is impossible! How could my eldest brother die? How could he die?" Zhang Xinghua felt like the sky was falling for a moment.  Keep coming.  He all followed Zhang Xinghan as his example. The eldest brother was like his father. Needless to say, the relationship between the two brothers was great.  But now, the woman he loved most had killed his eldest brother, whom he regarded as his father and brother. This kind of blow made his heart twist like a knife.  "Xinghua, I'm sorry, I was forced to have no choice. Your elder brother killed many of our comrades. I must avenge them." Su Hanyun explained with heartache when she saw Zhang Xinghua was very sad.  "How could my elder brother be a traitor? How could he harm you? I don't believe it!" The breakfast in Zhang Xinghua's hand quietly fell to the ground, he looked at Su Hanyun with red eyes, turned around and ran away.  "Xinghua!" Su Hanyun shouted sadly, but the grief-stricken Zhang Xinghan did not look back at all. He wanted to go to the division headquarters to see with his own eyes and confirm that what Su Hanyun said was true.  Su Hanyun wanted to chase him, but found him at the other end of the alley.  Several heavily armed guards seemed to have noticed something unusual here and were running over quickly.  She had no choice but to reluctantly leave.  Zhang Xinghua rushed all the way to the division headquarters, only to find that there were only a few guards guarding the door.  There was no one else around, so he looked extremely calm.  The ominous feeling in his heart suddenly rose, and Zhang Xinghua still walked towards the division headquarters compound.  "Where is my eldest brother?" Zhang Xinghua asked as he grabbed a guard.  "Master, Master, he is" The guard had already received strict orders and hesitantly said: "Master, he is in the hospital." "Hospital?" Zhang Xinghua was horrified. What Su Hanyun said was most likely true, "He is  How are you now? Are you alive or dead?" The guard shook his head and said he had no comment.  Zhang Xinghua didn’t bother too much.  Instead, he turned around and ran towards the division field hospital.  When he arrived at the hospital, he found that there were armed guards and soldiers everywhere outside the door. He just wanted to break in, but was stopped by the guards.  "Let me in, I want to see my big brother." Zhang Xinghua roared at the top of his lungs.  The guards naturally did not dare to let him go without an order, but someone quickly reported the news to Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and others.  In the ward, Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan and asked, "Master, what should we do? Let Xinghua come in?" "Yizhi just sent back the news, and Su Hanyun just went to see him. In order to?This drama is done well, it’s better not to see him for the time being. Brother Jingzhong, go out and see him.  "Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said. "Okay.  "Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement and walked out. After a while, Huang Xiansheng arrived outside the hospital. When Zhang Xinghua saw Huang Xiansheng, he quickly waved to him: "Assistant teacher's seat, assistant teacher's seat, let me in."  " Huang Xiansheng came to the door and said to Zhang Xinghua with a heavy expression: "Xinghua, what do you want?  " "What happened to my eldest brother?  Is he dead?  " Zhang Xinghua asked eagerly. Huang Xiansheng nodded solemnly: "Xinghua, don't be sad. We are also very heartbroken when something like this happens, but we still have to cheer up and continue to complete the unfinished work of the master.  Last wish!  "    "This is impossible.  Zhang Xinghua didn't want to believe it and walked inside: "This is absolutely impossible. I want to see my elder brother."  " Huang Xiansheng and several guards stopped him and said: "Brother Xinghua, you should not go in for the time being. We cannot let the outside world know about the attack on the division. Otherwise, the consequences will be harmful to our division.  It will be disastrous for you. Therefore, you must keep this secret until the Nanjing government appoints a new division commander.  " Zhang Xinghua fell to his knees in grief, looked up to the sky with tears streaming down his face and said sadly: "This is impossible!  Brother!  how so?  !  " "First platoon leader, take him back to the division headquarters first. You are not allowed to let him go without my order. You must keep an eye on him.  " Huang Xiansheng deliberately pretended to be afraid that he would leak the news and ordered. "Yes!  "A second lieutenant platoon leader immediately waved his hand and led a few people to lift up the frustrated Zhang Xinghua and bring him into a military jeep. ………………………………… located at Horqin’s rear left flag  Yihuta Town in the northwest was originally an inconspicuous small village. Because the highway from Tongliao to Shenyang passed by the village, the town gradually became prosperous with several hotels and restaurants for passing business.  Guests were resting. In a small restaurant in the town, Cao Binghua, dressed in Confucian attire and a felt hat, was sitting in the corner drinking tea. He had been waiting here for two days and planned not to wait until Su Hanyun arrived today.  , he was about to leave. To be honest, he really never thought that Su Hanyun could escape alive after assassinating him again. However, since the Tongliao army has now implemented martial law, he will not be able to sneak into Tongliao in a short time to find out who Zhang Xinghan is.  Life or death, that’s why he decided to wait here for three days to see if a miracle could happen. Of course, Cao Binghua relied on the relationship between Su Hanyun and Zhang Xinghan’s brother. In his opinion, Zhang Xinghua must love her so much.  He will find a way to get her out of trouble. Of course, if there is no trace of her in three days, it means that she is definitely in danger. Cao Binghua will have to go back to Nan Zao Yunzi to discuss other aspects to find out whether Zhang Xinghan is alive or dead.  Just when Cao Binghua was bored and drinking tea and almost couldn't sit still, a familiar figure appeared in the restaurant. Cao Binghua took off his hat and waved it in his hand. Su Hanyun spotted him and walked towards him quickly.  Afterwards, Cao Binghua drank tea and asked in a low voice: "How was it?  Succeeded?  "    "Um.  "Su Hanyun has not yet completely come out of her sadness, and she nodded with an unnatural expression. "Zhang Xinghan is dead?  "Cao Binghua couldn't restrain his excitement. "Dead.  "Su Hanyun looked up at Cao Binghua and nodded again. "Okay, great, Hanyun, you have made a great contribution, I will report it to the organization.  "Cao Binghua was very excited. Looking at Su Hanyun who was so beautiful, his thoughts had completely deteriorated, and an evil thought came into his mind. "Comrade Hanyun, you can't stay in Tongliao, you can't stay here anymore," he said to Su Hanyun immediately.  Let me go, I will arrange a new job for you.  " "I want to go back to Tongliao again. My mission has been completed. I have avenged Cao Xingwen and other comrades, which is worthy of the organization's cultivation.  " Su Hanyun said suddenly. "What?  Do you want to go back to Tongliao?  Isn’t that just throwing yourself into a trap?  Cao Binghua was a little unhappy, but pretended to be concerned: "Hanyun, I know you want to go back to see Zhang Xinghua, but you killed his brother and it's impossible for you, so it's meaningless for you to go back."  " "Stop talking, I have to go back.  "When Su Hanyun thought of Zhang Xinghua's grief-stricken eyes, her heart felt like being pricked by needles. "Comrade Hanyun, you must unconditionally obey the orders and arrangements of the organization. Have you forgotten your oath to join the party?  "Cao Binghua was a little anxious and scolded angrily.At this moment, a group of tall and well-dressed men suddenly rushed towards them.  Cao Binghua and Su Hanyun sensed the approaching danger at the same time and stood up quickly.  As soon as Cao Binghua stood up, a gun was pressed against his back. At the same time, a pistol was pointed at Su Hanyun's head.  Behind Cao Binghua, Shen Xingye came out and grinned at Su Hanyun, who was controlled by Cheng Bin: "Miss Su, long time no see." "Su Hanyun, what on earth is going on? You betrayed the party?" Cao Binghua's heart  He was horrified and glared at Su Hanyun.  "I didn't." Su Hanyun quickly denied it.  "Okay, there is so much nonsense. If you are sensible enough, please go back and see our master." Shen Xingye pushed his gun into the back of Cao Binghua's head.  "Take them away!" Without waiting for their reaction, Shen Xingye and Cheng Bin took off their guns and waved orders to the other agents.  (This website (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)

    "What? You said Zhang Xinghan is not dead?" Cao Binghua's face changed drastically.  "It's a joke, of course it's not dead. Just you guys, do you want to kill our master?" Shen Xingye smiled disdainfully.  "Su Hanyun, you still said you didn't betray!?" Cao Binghua looked at Su Hanyun with bitter eyes.  Su Hanyun was confused and didn’t know what she was thinking.  Seeing that Cao Binghua was not cooperating, Shen Xingye said: "Boy, don't blame us for not reminding you. Cooperate honestly, otherwise I can't guarantee whether my snipers will blow your heads off with one shot." After Shen Xingye said this, he walked towards the restaurant on the second floor.  There was a wave of hands in the corridor.  Cao Binghua and Su Hanyun looked up and saw at least three or four snipers with sniper rifles aiming at them in the corridor.  Seeing this, Cao Binghua’s remaining sense of resistance instantly collapsed.  It wasn’t until Cheng Bin led the agents to escort the two of them out of the restaurant that Shen Xingye waved to Zhao Long and other snipers to signal them to retreat.  The group of people got into the car that had been prepared and headed towards Tongliao.  ………………………Nanjing, National Government Building, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek’s office.  Guard chief Wang Shihe walked into the office cautiously, stood at attention and saluted Principal Jiang who was at work: "Principal, the Secret Service Headquarters just received important news. Zhang Xinghan, the teacher of Tongliao Reading Division, was assassinated yesterday." "What?  Zhang Xinghan is dead?" Principal Jiang was shocked: "Is the news true?" "The hospital where Zhang Xinghan is currently under martial law has not yet been confirmed by the Secret Service Headquarters, but judging from his brother's behavior, it is likely that something happened." Wang Shihe replied.  "Who did it?" Principal Jiang was obviously a little angry. After finally finding a man who could fight and stand up to Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhang Xinghan, who would be of great use to the disintegration of the Northeastern Army in the future, died like this.  "It is said that he is the lover of Zhang Xinghan's younger brother Zhang Xinghua. He is a communications second lieutenant in the force-reading division. This person's identity has been verified and he is a [***] lurking in the force-reading division." Wang Shihe said.  "[***]? How could they attack Zhang Xinghan?" Principal Jiang asked very puzzledly.  "Based on the information currently available, Su Hanyun is indeed [***], but her superiors have confirmed that she rebelled against the party and defected to the Japanese earlier, and the ***'s underground organization in the Northeast was completely destroyed because of this person.  , Therefore, it is very likely that the [***] agent lurking in the power reading division has been taken advantage of," Wang Shihe explained.  "By the way, when I came just now, the secret service headquarters had just received the latest news. It seems that the power reader has captured the assassin who assassinated Zhang Xinghan and the person who contacted her, that is, the one who had defected to the Japanese."  ***] Agent." Wang Shihe added.  "In this way" Principal Jiang pondered for a while and then ordered: "Order the Secret Service Headquarters to find a way to inform the deputy commander of the Reading Division Huang Xiansheng and the chief of staff Zhao Zhenfan about this news. This is a Japanese conspiracy. If Zhang Xinghan is really dead,  I will probably take military action in advance and ask them to deal with it carefully. I also want them to report quickly whether Zhang Xinghan is alive or dead." "Yes!" Wang Shihe stood up and responded, immediately turning around and following the order.  go.  …………………Tongliao Duli Division Field Hospital.  Shen Xingye, dressed in a smart outfit, came to Zhang Xinghan's ward, saluted Zhang Xinghan and reported: "Master, Su Hanyun and her contacts have all been arrested. After a low-level interrogation, it was confirmed that they are indeed [***] in the Northeast.  "Underground worker." "Really [***]?" Zhang Xinghan couldn't believe it, because neither the Kuomintang nor the [***] had a reason to kill him until now?  At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan and Deputy Division Commander Huang Xiansheng walked in hand in hand.  yellow  Was destroyed by the Japanese. "Huh? So, Su Hanyun was used as a weapon?" Zhang Xinghan asked in surprise.  "We can't draw a conclusion yet!" Zhao Zhenfan said: "No matter what, Su Hanyun assassinated a national hero, we must bring her to justice to serve as a warning to others!" At this moment, a guard platoon leader suddenly rushed out  He came to the outside of the ward, stood up and saluted: "Report, attendant, assistant teacher, Zhang Xinghua threatened to commit suicide and asked to see the teacher for the last time." "Huh?" Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan immediately turned their eyes to Zhang Xinghan after hearing this.  Zhang Xinghan frowned and said thoughtfully: "Bring him to see me." "Yes!" The second lieutenant platoon leader immediately saluted.?Leave as ordered.  Not long after, Zhang Xinghua, who was in a daze, was brought over, and Zhao Zhenfan, Huang Xiansheng and others retreated directly.  Let Zhang Xinghua enter the room alone. When Zhang Xinghua walked into the ward with heavy steps and a heavy heart, he found Zhang Xinghan sitting peacefully on the hospital bed and looking at him with a smile.  "Brother, are you alive?" Zhang Xinghua was overjoyed and rushed over.  “The bullet missed by a few centimeters, luckily he didn’t die.” Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Hanyun, she" Zhang Xinghua didn't finish his words.  Zhang Xinghan interrupted him and said, "You don't need to say anything. I have already ordered people to arrest her and her accomplices. After the interrogation is clear, they will be sent to a military court." Zhang Xinghan had already made up his mind just now. He would rather  To make her brother sad, she should also take this opportunity to completely sever ties with her.  He would rather let his brother find an ordinary girl with no lawless status than to get involved in any political party.  Even he himself does not want to have too much entanglement with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. His goal is to protect his family and the country, and politics will never be what he, a soldier, needs to care about.  "Brother, are you going to send Hanyun to a military court?" Zhang Xinghua looked at Zhang Xinghan in shock.  "After the review is clear, it should be." Zhang Xinghan nodded: "Xinghua, you have to know that I almost died in her hands. Do you know what her behavior was? Assassinating anti-Japanese heroes and collaborating with the enemy and treason." "I know, but  Brother, how could Hanyun collaborate with the enemy and treason? Is there any hidden secret or misunderstanding?" Zhang Zhang Xinghua asked anxiously.  "Xinghua, we have preliminary evidence. Su Hanyun's immediate boss had surrendered to the enemy and treason not long ago and became a Han Annihilator, so we cannot rule out the possibility that she was also a Han Annihilator." Zhang Xinghan said.  "How is this possible?" Zhang Xinghua shook his head in disbelief with a look of pain on his face.  Seeing his brother like this, Zhang Xinghan sighed and said: "Xinghua, I advise you to forget her. You will meet a girl who is really suitable for you in the future. Su Hanyun is not as innocent as you think. She is  It's not suitable for you. Maybe she fell in love with you just to facilitate her assassination with me. She may not really love you." "No." Zhang Xinghua shook his head and said firmly: "I can feel that Hanyun really loves me.  Yes, just like I love her." "Xinghua, you are still too naive. This matter is not as simple as you think." Zhang Xinghua smiled bitterly and shook his head.  "Brother, do you think there is anything more precious to a woman than her first time?" Zhang Xinghua stared at Zhang Xinghan intently.  "Huh? You mean, you have?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  "Yes, we have made a lifelong commitment, brother. I believe that Hanyun must have been wronged, otherwise she would never assassinate you, brother." Zhang Xinghua said firmly.  "I will investigate this clearly. You go back first. By the way, don't tell my parents about the attack on me, and don't tell others that I am safe and sound." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said.  "Brother, please let me see Hanyun." Zhang Xinghua begged sincerely.  "Okay, I'll let Shen Xingye take you there later." After all, he is his biological brother, Zhang Xinghan still felt soft and nodded.  "Thank you, brother!" Zhang Xinghua was moved.  …………………In the secret detention point, Zhang Xinghua was led by Shen Xingye to the room where Su Hanyun was detained.  "Hanyun!" Zhang Xinghua couldn't wait to push the door open and enter.  Shen Xingye stood outside the door and said, "Xinghua, call me if you need anything. I'll be right outside." Zhang Xinghua nodded, then turned to look at Su Hanyun.  Su Hanyun was overjoyed to see Zhang Xinghua arrive. She stood up and asked, "Xinghua, why are you here?" "Are you okay? Hanyun, my eldest brother is not dead. Don't worry, I will ask him to let you go.  "Zhang Xinghua held her in his arms and asked with concern.  "Is he really not dead?" Su Hanyun said expressionlessly.  "Well, he's not dead, Hanyun. You must have misunderstood my elder brother. He is not a traitor or a traitor at all, and he has never framed your comrades." Zhang Xinghua nodded.  "How do you know he didn't do it?" Su Hanyun looked up at him.  "Because my elder brother's investigation has made it clear that your boss is the real Han fighter. It was he who betrayed your party and defected to the Japanese. It was also he who united with the Japanese to destroy most of your underground organizations in the Liaoning area." Zhang Xinghua  road.  "What? Your Director Cao is a Han fighter?" Su Hanyun was shocked when she heard this: "How is this possible?""You said your boss is Director Cao?" Zhang Xinghua was also very surprised.  "Well, he was the one who introduced me to join the party." Su Hanyun nodded and said, "Xinghua, the reason why your elder brother said this may be to exonerate himself, but I can't believe it all. I don't believe that Director Cao will betray him."  Party, he is a proven proletarian fighter and a role model for me. How can such a person defect to the Japanese? " "Nothing is absolute. Nowadays, the war is in chaos, the country is in crisis, and people are unpredictable. As for my eldest brother,  , he will definitely not be a Han fighter, let alone go against you [***], I can guarantee this with my life. Just imagine, if my elder brother is really a Han fighter, he can join the Japanese and gain glory and wealth.  , but he did not do that. In the Battle of Shenyang, he fought with thousands of soldiers regardless of life and death, and finally saved Shenyang without danger, and then safely evacuated to Tongliao. Such a man who did not hesitate to live and die for the country and the nation, and was not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice,  How could he be a Han fighter?" Zhang Xinghua said earnestly.

    Su Hanyun did not continue to argue with Zhang Xinghua, but hugged him tightly and said: "Let's not mention those unhappy things anymore. I just want to hug you quietly for a while."???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In another room, Cheng Bin and Zhao Long were interrogating Cao Binghua.  Su Hanyun was unable to move because of Zhang Xinghua, but Cao Binghua was different.  This big man had been trained as a punching bag by a big man like Cheng Bin for more than half an hour. His face was swollen into a pig's head after being beaten, and his flesh and blood were blurred. It was very scary at first glance.  "Old guy, what's up? Let's recruit them quickly. Who are you and Su Hanyun? Why did they assassinate our master?" Zhao Long persuaded while smoking a cigarette.  "I don't know what you are going to say. I don't know anything. I have nothing to do with Su Hanyun." At this point, the cunning Cao Binghua knew that if he confessed, he would not escape death anyway, so he tried his best to distance himself from Su Hanyun.  They don't know each other at all.  "Hmph, old man, I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. I caught you on the spot and you still dare to quibble." Zhao Long took two strong puffs on the cigarette. The butt of the cigarette was red. He walked over and pressed it hard.  on Cao Binghua's face.  Cao Binghua suddenly let out a miserable howl.  Zhao Longfang didn’t give up until the cigarette butt was put out. However, before Cao Binghua could take a breath, he suddenly hit his chin with a roundhouse kick.  This blow was so powerful that it knocked Cao Binghua unconscious.  “Zhao Long, don’t fucking beat him to death.” Cheng Bin reminded.  "Hey, I can't die." Zhao Long took half a basin of cold water with ice slag and poured it on the unconscious Cao Binghua.  He woke up immediately. The cold water made Cao Binghua shiver a little, and he looked at Zhao Long and Cheng Bin with burning eyes.  "Hey? Are you still staring at me? Do you want to kill me?" Zhao Long went up and kicked him again.  "Tell me quickly, how did you collude with the Japanese, then betray your organization, and then want to murder the anti-Japanese heroes?" "If you don't tell me, I will let you try what a tiger bench is." Zhao Long threatened.  "The master's gunshot wound recurred and he has died. The deputy master's command has given orders to take the suspect away and shoot him immediately!" At this time, a soldier suddenly walked in and informed.  When Cao Binghua heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "I'll recruit, I'll recruit, please don't kill me."  Field hospital, Shen Xingye came to Zhang Xinghan's ward excitedly  , reported: "Master, the person who was in contact with Su Hanyun has been recruited. He is Su Hanyun's boss, but he was accidentally fell into the hands of the Japanese not long ago, and he rebelled and surrendered to the enemy after being tortured. Does Su Hanyun know this?  We don't know yet." "Go and bring Su Hanyun to see me." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye immediately took the order and left.  Not long after, a guard company commander suddenly walked in and saluted: "Master, a person who claims to be the special envoy of the Communist Party of China is coming to see you." "Huh? The special envoy of the Communist Party of China?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said:  "Bring him in." The guard company commander took the order and left. A few minutes later, he walked in with a middle-aged man.  The middle-aged man is about forty years old, with a medium build and wearing glasses. He looks gentle and gentle like a teacher.  "I've met General Zhang." The middle-aged man took off his hat and bowed.  "Who are you?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Oh, let me introduce myself. I am Cao Xingwen, the liaison officer of ZG Shenyang Branch." The middle-aged man said quickly.  "Cao Xingwen? Why did you come to see me?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "It's like this, there is a traitor within our party" Cao Xingwen told Zhang Xinghan everything that happened these days.  It turns out that when Shenyang's army and civilians evacuated the city, there were still many people in Shenyang who had not evacuated. Considering that there was already a Su Hanyun in the reading force, and Shenyang was an important city, Cao Xingwen's organization ordered him to continue to stay.  In Shenyang City.  When Cao Binghua rebelled and led Japanese agents into Shenyang City to arrest him, he was lucky enough to escape. However, one of his companions who worked with him died to protect him.  This is also the reason why Cao Binghua thinks Cao Xingwen is dead.  Because the organization suffered great damage in the Northeast, Cao Xingwen went through all kinds of troubles to contact the organization within the pass, and learned that Su Hanyun was used by Cao Binghua to assassinate Zhang Xinghan.  In order to avoid greater losses and misunderstandings with Zhang Xinghan, the government appointed Cao Xingwen as a special envoy to immediately come to meet Zhang Xinghan and tell him everything.  After listeningAfter hearing what Xingwen said, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Cao, there is something unclear about Xinghan. How do you know that I am not dead? And I will definitely meet you?" "As for whether the general is safe and sound, I just wish to  I'm here on the count of five to five, but as long as the general is here, the general will definitely see me, because the general doesn't want to see his brother lose his beloved woman," Cao Xingwen answered bluntly.  "Well, that's good. It seems that Mr. Cao has figured out my thoughts." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "I don't dare." Cao Xingwen said with cupped hands.  Not long after, Shen Xingye brought Su Hanyun over.  As soon as she saw Cao Xingwen when she entered the door, Su Hanyun's pupils dilated, and she said in surprise: "Liaison Officer Cao, are you still alive?" Cao Xingwen smiled and nodded: "Yes, I had to fight to the death for my comrades to protect me, and I finally escaped.  "Then Director Cao said you were killed, what happened?" Su Hanyun asked confused.  Cao Xingwen told Su Hanyun everything about the incident. After hearing this, Su Hanyun was so angry that she gritted her teeth and turned pale. Looking at Zhang Xinghan lying on the bed, she felt extremely guilty.  He said harshly: "Cao Binghua, this scum, I want to kill him with my own hands and clear the door for D!" "Hey, Hanyun, this matter is not urgent for the time being, I still have great use for Cao Binghua." Zhang Xinghan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her.  That night, Cao Binghua, who had been beaten and bruised, was tied up in the room and suffering. At this moment, he was hungry and cold.  Fortunately, since he confessed, the two burly men who were readers have not touched him again.  In the middle of the night, Cao Binghua was suddenly awakened by a strange noise coming from outside the door.  Suddenly, the door was kicked open with great force. Under the dim light, Cao Binghua was surprised to find that the person who came was Su Hanyun.  She held a pistol in her hand and rushed over: "Director Cao, I'm here to save you." "Hanyun, how did you escape?" Cao Binghua asked happily.  "It was Zhang Xinghua who saved us. We don't have much time. I'll rescue you first." Su Hanyun said and helped Cao Binghua untie the rope.  Cao Binghua was in pain all over and almost collapsed to the ground.  Su Hanyun supported him and asked, "Are you okay?" "It's okay, let's go quickly." Cao Binghua looked at Su Hanyun gratefully.  Not long after the two escaped, a large number of force-reading division officers and soldiers chased them.  Seeing that the situation was critical, Su Hanyun said to Cao Binghua: "Director Cao, you run away first, I will stay here to stop the enemy and cover you." Cao Binghua was happy in his heart, but pretended to be reluctant to leave and said: "Comrade Hanyun, I will withdraw  What are you going to do?" "Leave me alone, retreat first, quickly!" Su Hanyun changed the magazine and shouted anxiously.  "Okay, you must take care of yourself." Cao Binghua shed a few tears in a hypocritical manner. After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked: "By the way, Comrade Hanyun, I heard that Zhang Xinghan died of a recurrence of his gunshot wound. This  Is the news true?" Su Hanyun turned around and nodded: "It's true. Now Huang Xiansheng, deputy commander of the Reading Division, is busy competing with the chief of staff for the position of division commander and has no time to take care of us. That's why Zhang Xinghua has the opportunity to rescue me. Don't worry.  Well, we have avenged Cao Xingwen and other comrades. "Well, Comrade Hanyun, you did a good job. Comrade Xingwen can rest in peace in heaven.  "After saying that, Cao Binghua turned around and limped away into the night. When he fled far away, Su Hanyun opened a grenade, threw it more than ten meters away, and fell to the ground. "Boom!  "There was a loud noise, and scarlet fire shot up into the sky, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night. Cao Binghua looked back, thinking that Su Hanyun had been killed, so he didn't do much and tried to endure the pain and run away quickly.  In Zhangwu County, Cao Binghua finally found Nan Zao Yunzi who was waiting for him here. “Are you telling the truth?  Zhang Xinghan is dead?  Nanzo Yunzi asked in surprise. "Yes, Miss Yunzi, my subordinates rescued me with all their lives. Before I was about to be shot, those angry readers soldiers also said  , Zhang Xinghan was seriously injured by the gunshot and died after ineffective rescue.  "Cao Binghua bowed his head and said. "Great, I finally got rid of a serious problem for the empire.  Nan Zao Yunzi was elated, looking at Cao Binghua with charming eyes, and touched half of his face that had been destroyed: "My dear, you have worked hard, and I will reward you well today."  " "Thank you, Miss Yunzi, but I still have something to say about my humble position.  "Cao Binghua was ecstatic and eager to show it off. &nbsp; "What are you talking about?" Nan Zao Yunzi looked at him with interest.  "Now that Zhang Xinghan is dead, the chief of staff and deputy division commander of the reading force division are busy fighting for power. The reading force division is leaderless. If the imperial army can send troops to attack at this time, they will definitely win in one battle and annihilate this enemy. I have long been humble.  My subordinates have figured out the troop deployment of the Reading Division and the terrain of Tongliao, which can help the imperial army," Cao Binghua said.  When Nan Zao Yunzi heard this, his eyes lit up and he felt even more happy. He stepped forward and held Cao Binghua's chin and said, "My dear, you really make me like you more and more."

    Dalian Lushun, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  . Itagaki Seishiro strode into the war room. Nanjiro and several division commanders were gathering in front of the map to discuss the battle plan.  "Report to the commander." After entering the door, Itagaki Seishiro suddenly put his feet together and stood upright to salute.  "Itagaki-kun, the phone call you made before coming here said that you had something important to report. The commanders and commanders of each division are here now. Please tell me." Nanjiro returned the greeting and said solemnly.  "Hai!" Itagaki Seishiro walked over with his head lowered, came to the battle map, picked up a wooden command pole, looked around everyone present, and pointed to Tongliao Road on the map: "Generals, the current Tongliao Reading Force Master  Division Commander Zhang Xinghan was successfully assassinated by our agents. According to reliable information, Deputy Division Commander Huang Xiansheng and Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan are fighting for command. ""Itagaki-kun, is the news true?" Nanjiro asked in surprise.  "Yes, General, this news has been confirmed to be true by the Empire's ace agent." Itagaki Seishiro nodded.  "Well, you continue." Nanjiro said with his hands solemnly.  "The readers are caught in an internal struggle for power and are leaderless. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for our Kwantung Army." Before Itagaki finished speaking, the commander of the third division, Kawashima Yoshiyuki, interrupted him.  : "Itagaki-kun, you didn't explain clearly why the deputy division commander and the chief of staff of the Reading Division were competing for command? As far as I know, the position of deputy division commander in the China Army is above that of the chief of staff. If something happens to the division commander,  , the deputy division commander should take over the command. The chief of staff only has the rank of colonel and does not have the same power as the deputy division commander. How can he compete with the deputy division commander for command? " "General Kawashima, you don't know something," Itagaki Seishiro said: "First of all, I want to be simple.  Let’s talk about the components of the reading force division. They are composed of three parts. First, the Shenyang garrison brigade evolved from a strengthened battalion brought out by the division commander Zhang Xinghan from the Peking University Camp. The composition of the garrison brigade is based on this battalion.  It is composed of a large number of military police and military police in Shenyang City and a large number of current students from the Jiangwu Hall. The second is the group of cavalry troops brought by the former Liaoning Police Chief Huang Xiansheng. The third is the chief of staff of the 7th Duli Brigade.  Since the two main regiments brought by Zhao Zhenfan had just been established and had not yet achieved true integration, Zhang Xinghan was naturally able to conduct unified command with his prestige and the support of Huang and Zhao.  Zhang Xinghan has now been killed by us. Although Zhao Zhenfan is only the chief of staff, one level lower than Huang Xiansheng, two of the four main groups of readers support him, so he is the one who supports him.  We have the capital to compete with Huang Xiansheng, and most of the original garrison troops are Huang Xiansheng's old troops, so the two are evenly matched and it is difficult to win. This situation is undoubtedly what we want to see the most." Kawashima Yoshiyuki heard this.  He nodded and raised his hands towards Itagaki Seishiro to signal him to continue.  Itagaki Seishiro immediately pointed to the map and said: "At present, our agents have figured out the troop deployment of the China Reading Division in Tongliao and are more familiar with the terrain there. I suggest that we should immediately send two to three divisions to occupy Shenyang and Xinmin.  Use Shenyang and Xinmin as advance bases to launch an attack on Tongliao, striving to seize this opportunity to completely eliminate the Tongliao Duli Division and avenge the shame of our entire Japanese Imperial Army!" "But the sea-based and land-based aviation forces have not yet been launched!  In place, the Dalian airport and dock have also been repaired, and the Shenyang airport was also damaged during the evacuation of the force readers. If the imperial army cannot win the battle within a week, the logistics supply line will be interrupted, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Nanjiro said a little.  Undecided.  "Your Excellency General, the power reading divisions are now leaderless. The imperial army does not need a week to defeat them, and we do not need to use too many troops. Three divisions are enough as the main attack force. As for food, we can plunder it along the way. One  A week's ammunition reserve is enough for us to break through the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the China Reading Division and completely annihilate it. "As for the dock and airport, they can be repaired within a week and can be put into use in half a month at most. By then, the imperial army will be reinforced.  Supplies will continue to flow to the front line, and we can take advantage of the situation to attack Jinzhou, Changchun and other directions, and capture the entire three provinces of Manchuria in one fell swoop." Itagaki Seishiro said eagerly: "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't miss it.  Don't come again. Please give the order, General." Nanjiro was in hesitation. It had to be said that the Kwantung Army suffered too many defeats in the previous battles, which forced him to put away his past arrogance.  and defiant.  Be careful with reading power teachers. Although Zhang Xinghan is dead, the power of death is still there.  It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xinghan has caused a psychological shadow on Nanjiro. He knows very well that under his tenure??The Kwantung Army must not be defeated again, otherwise not only will he be the commander in chief, it is very likely that his military career will end prematurely, and he will be transferred to the reserve like his predecessor Honjo Shige, and will wait to die from old age.  Therefore, Nanjiro had to be cautious, he had to be cautious, he still had many ambitions that had not been realized, and he wanted to fill in a strong color in his military career.  That is to command the Kwantung Army to capture the entire Manchuria and expand territory for the Japanese Empire.  Seeing Nanjiro hesitate, Itagaki Seishiro gave Ishihara a smile.  Ishihara smiled and immediately said to Nanjiro: "Your Excellency Commander, in war, risks and rewards are directly proportional, or even exceed.  Without taking risks, there would be no place for our great Japanese empire in Manchuria and even Northeast Asia. What’s more, today we have an absolute military advantage. We had occasional failures in the past because we underestimated and despised the enemy. Now we have failed.  The lessons learned, the imperial officers and soldiers at all levels are much more cautious than before. In order to avenge the shame, the morale of the officers and soldiers is also unprecedentedly high. Now that the soul of the Chinese force readers, Zhang Xinghan, is dead, the force readers are leaderless and no longer have the previous combat strength. The imperial army only has one.  If we attack, we will definitely win in one battle. I sincerely ask you, General, not to hesitate, please give the order. The honor of the empire depends on this battle." After Ishihara Kanji's very provocative persuasion, Nanjiro finally made up his mind.  The voice said: "Pass my order, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th, and 14th Divisions will immediately advance to Shenyang and Xinmin. The 14th Division will be stationed in Tieling and Siping to guard the Changchun China Army. Another 11th Division will be sent.  , the 12th Division marched westward to Panjin to deter the main force of the Northeast Army in the Jinzhou area. The 2nd, 20th, and 6th Divisions stayed in Dalian, waiting for the 4th, 7th, 8th, and 10th Divisions to arrive and complete the replenishment.  Then gradually enter the battlefield. This battle is related to the reputation of the empire in the world. Please fight to the death and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, so as to expand the territory and expand the living space of our Yamato nation. " "Hai!" "Including Sichuan!  All the generals including Shima Yoshiyuki, Itagaki Seishiro and others bowed their heads and responded in unison.  After Nanjiro's order was given, all divisions naturally began to mobilize urgently and get busy.  ??………………to the east of Daoshan Town, at Zhishan Mansion.  Hua Zhizhaozhan, dressed as Nan Zao Yunzi, is having a secret meeting with Yu Zhishan.  In the Battle of Shenyang, all four of Yu Zhishan's infantry regiments were wiped out. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.  However, in order to win over him to continue to be cannon fodder, the Japanese funded him a lot of weapons and ammunition, helping him to build up a team of thousands of people again during this period.  Nan Zao Yunzi came this time naturally under the orders of Doihara Kenji, and ordered Yu Zhishan to lead his troops to follow the imperial army to attack Tongliao and serve as cannon fodder.  But Zhishan is not stupid either. Having already suffered a big loss, he is a little hesitant at this time.  Seeing that he was hesitant, Nan Zao Yunzi finally used his trump card and took off his clothes in front of Yu Zhishan, revealing his alluring snow-white body.  After capturing the beauty of Yunzi in Nanzhao, Yu Zhishan immediately mobilized all the troops he could gather and began to march towards Shenyang.  At the same time, Taonan City north of Tongliao.  Zhang Haipeng, the garrison envoy who fled Liao and almost lost his life in Tongliao, was sighing and drinking wine in his garrison's mansion.  In the battle of Tongliao, four of his cavalry regiments were wiped out, and many years of hard work were ruined. This made him extremely sad, and he also hated Zhang Xinghan and the readers.  Suddenly, the adjutant came in from outside and reported: "Commander, Miss Yoshiko Kawashima of Japan Special High School wants to see you." "No, no, I don't see anyone." Zhang Haipeng was already a little drunk, and he said it without thinking.  The adjutant waved his hand impatiently.  The adjutant was a little embarrassed. At this time, Kawashima Yoshiko, dressed in men's clothing, walked in uninvited and said with a smile: "Zhang Zhenzheng has such a bad temper." Zhang Haipeng was filled with anger, but the Japanese made no move.  , which made him question the Japanese occupation of Northeast China. He immediately slapped the table and cursed angrily: "You fucking bitch, who let you in?" Kawashima Yoshiko suppressed her anger and still smiled and said: "Zhang Zhenshou  Don't be angry, I'm here to tell you some good news." Zhang Haipeng also realized that his tone was a bit tough, and he was afraid of offending the Japanese, so he calmed down and said, "What's the news?" "Tongliao Reader?  Commander Zhang Xinghan is dead!" "What? Zhang Xinghan is dead?" Zhang Haipeng was shocked: "Really?" "Yes, he was killed by our agents.?Absolutely true.  "Kawashima Yoshiko said. "Great, this bastard is dead, then won't the power readers be leaderless?  "The depression in Zhang Haipeng's heart was swept away, and he said quite excitedly. "Of course, now our Imperial Japanese Army has assembled an army of 300,000 troops and is preparing to attack Tongliao. As long as the Tongliao Duli Division is eliminated, the entire Northeast  They will all be in the possession of our Japanese Empire. I came to Taonan to discuss cooperation with you, Zhang Zhenshou.  "Kawashima Yoshiko said proudly. (To be continued) q

    "Cooperate, I will fully cooperate with the imperial army's actions." Zhang Haipeng's face turned faster than ejaculation, and he quickly said with a flattering smile: "I wonder what your orders are, Miss Yoshiko?" ……………  ………… Tongliao, ** Division Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan has recovered well from his injury and is able to get out of bed and walk around. In order to direct the possible war that will break out next, he has returned to the division headquarters from the field hospital.  “However, in order to facilitate Zhang Xinghan’s recovery from his injuries, the field hospital will always take care of Zhang Xinghan. Zhao Yating, who has performed well, has been assigned as Zhang Xinghan’s temporary personal nurse.  In the war room of the division headquarters, Shen Xingye arrived in a hurry. After saluting Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and others, he reported: "Master, according to the latest news I got, the Japanese have begun to take action. The Japanese troops in Dalian are attacking in large numbers.  Take the train to Shenyang. "So the Japanese took the bait?" Zhang Xinghan beamed.  "Yes, I took the bait." Shen Xingye nodded.  "Okay, this time I want to let the Japanese have a taste of the power of our military divisions, and teach these Japanese bastards who have been stealing from China since the Tang Dynasty what it means to be brave and deceitful." Zhang Xinghan said fiercely.  "Master, what should we do next?" Zhao Zhenfan asked: "Should we immediately dispatch the air force to bomb the South Manchuria Railway to delay the Japanese army's concentration?" "No, dispatching the air force now will most likely cause the Japanese to cancel this mission.  Risky action. After their offensive troops gather in Shenyang and begin to march towards our base area, the air force will attack again. I will make them unable to advance or retreat." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he smiled and said to Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan: "Brother Alarm Bell, Guoping.  Brother, you two have to put on a good show for me to convince the little devil that I'm dead." "Don't worry," Huang Xiansheng said with a smile.  "However. Teacher, President Jiang from Nanjing called and asked if you have really sacrificed your life. How should we reply?" Zhao Zhenfan said.  Considering that there may be many Japanese spies lurking in the National Government agencies in Nanjing.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Just call Principal Jiang back and say that I have indeed died. Let's ask Principal Jiang to help us make this play more realistic."  , Young Marshal's Mansion.  After listening to Chief of Staff Rong Zhen’s report, Marshal Zhang.  Jumping three feet high, he said with disbelief on his face: "What did you say? Zhang Xinghan is dead?" "Yes, the Japanese have begun to mobilize their troops aggressively and prepare to besiege Tongliao." Rong Zhen nodded.  "Did the Japanese do it?" asked Marshal Zhang.  "Yeah. It was the Japanese who used the rebellious ZG agents to instruct their agents lurking around Zhang Xinghan to do it." Rong Zhen said.  At this moment, the adjutant Chen Dazhang suddenly walked in with a hurried look, saluted Zhang Xueliang and Rong Zhen and said: "Young Marshal, it's not good. General He Lichong sent an urgent message from Jinzhou. Our scouts reported that two Japanese divisions  Heading west from Dalian, we are currently marching towards Jinzhou. General He Lichong asked for instructions. How should our Jinzhou troops respond if they attack? " "What is the appetite of the Japanese?  Not small?" Marshal Zhang was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't dare to resist when the Kwantung Army was still very weak in September 18th.  Not to mention that the Kwantung Army has now added more than ten divisions. After pondering for a while, Zhang Xueliang immediately ordered Chen Dazhang: "Telegraph He Lichong that if the Japanese show signs of attacking Jinzhou, they can withdraw their troops to Shanhaiguan.  Don't fight with them, and give the enemy an excuse to launch a massive attack." Chen Dazhang hesitated, but finally reluctantly saluted with disappointment: "Yes!" "Young Marshal, the Japanese have assembled an army of more than 300,000, and it is very likely that they will invade the pass.  Ah, we have to prepare in advance." Rong Zhen said.  "Damn little Japan, I have already given them Northeast China. If they still want to get involved in North China, I will fight them to the end." Zhang Xueliang said with shame and anger.  Rong Zhen did not answer, but he was complaining in his heart. When the September 18th Incident broke out, the arsenal and the air force were not resisting you. Now that your family fortune is almost lost, you want to fight with Japan again. Can you survive?  ………………………………………………… Nanjing, the official residence of the leader.  "Principal, the teacher has called back." Wang Shihe saluted and reported to Principal Jiang with a solemn look.  "How do you say it?" Although Principal Jiang could already see the answer from Wang Shihe's face, he asked unwillingly.  "Zhang Xinghan did suffer from a serious gunshot wound and died." Wang Shihe said.  Principal Jiang stood up after hearing this, walked to the window and stared outside for a long time. After a long time, heHe turned to Wang Shihe and said: "Immediately send a telegram to posthumously confer Zhang Xinghan the title of lieutenant general and general of the National Revolutionary Army, and award him the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun and the title of Anti-Japanese Martyr. Huang Xiansheng was also appointed as the commander of the ** Division and led his troops to continue fighting.  . ”……………………Hangzhou, Chiang Kai-shek.  General Jiang Baili, who had just been acquitted by Duke Jiang, had just returned to the mansion with his children.  Having just been released from prison, he rejected many invitations from his disciples and generals to celebrate his success.  Instead, he was sitting in his study alone with a copy of the latest Shanghai Declaration newspaper.  The eye-catching words on the declaration are clearly that Zhang Xinghan, the Chinese nation’s anti-Japanese hero and commander of the Tongliao *** Division, was attacked by enemy agents many days ago and died of his injuries. He was only 24 years old "Heaven is jealous of talents, God is jealous of talents."  What a talented person!" Jiang Baili couldn't help but sigh up to the sky: "How can Heaven help the thieves to invade our country?" ……………………… In a private room in a tavern in Tongliao Town.  Zhang Xinghua was hugging Su Hanyun tightly: "Hanyun, that's great. My eldest brother promises to let you forget the blame, and we can be together forever." Su Hanyun looked a little solemn and said, "Xinghua, I may have to leave Tongliao.  "Huh? Why?" Zhang Xinghua was shocked when he heard this, and looked at her: "Why do you want to leave? My brother is true to his word and will never pursue you for assassinating him again."  This, my identity has been exposed, the organization has asked me to leave, and I must comply." Su Hanyun said.  "Hanyun, don't leave me, please don't leave me. I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I'm afraid that if we say goodbye today, we will never see each other again!" Zhang Xinghua was reluctant to leave.  With tears in her eyes, Su Hanyun said: "I don't want to be separated from you, but I, I must obey the order of the organization. Xinghua, let's break up. Just forget about me. We are really not suitable." "No." Zhang Xinghua kept saying,  Shaking her head: "Hanyun, I really love you. If I don't marry you in this life, I will never agree to break up with you." "Xinghua!" Su Hanyun was deeply moved and stepped forward to save Zhang Xinghua again.  After a long time, Su Hanyun said quietly: "Xinghua, please wait for me. After I complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization, I will come to Tongliao to find you. Please believe me."  ……………… At night, on the banks of the Xiliao River, about three thousand cavalry gathered together in a dark crowd.  In front of the cavalry team were forty brand-new Panzer III tanks and German tracked armored vehicles.  Over the past few days, the armored company has completed the re-equipment and has a total of twenty Panzer III tanks with advanced performance and powerful firepower, and twenty new tracked armored vehicles.  Both the armor protection capability and firepower are much more powerful than before.  Behind the cavalry, there are more than 150 military trucks and motorcycles.  The military trucks were all packed with infantrymen of the ** Division who were armed with live ammunition.  Zhang Xinghan got into the co-pilot of a military truck surrounded by Shen Xingye and others.  Soon, the troops set off one after another and quietly left Tongliao along the Xiliao River at night.  This force is composed of the 701st regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters, the reconnaissance company, the armored company and the cavalry regiment, with a total of more than 6,000 infantry and cavalry, and nearly 200 armored tanks and military trucks.  The cavalry regiment was originally a battalion stationed at the Huolinhe Coal Mine, and the defense was replaced by a battalion from Liu Guodong's garrison regiment.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan secretly gathered such a highly mobile mobile force was for one purpose, which was to take the initiative and, with the cooperation of the air force, continuously harass the Japanese offensive troops and continuously attack the Japanese army's logistics supply lines and rear advance.  base.  Once the supply line, which is thousands of miles long from Tongliao to Dalian, is destroyed, the Japanese frontline offensive troops will fall into unprecedented difficulties in such an icy and snowy environment.  The assault force of more than 6,000 people can completely deter any Japanese army. Once there is a suitable opportunity, it can encircle and annihilate any small Japanese army that loses its orders.  Their strong mobility gives them the ability to hit and run, and they can easily escape before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.  Attack is the best defense, Zhang Xinghan firmly believes in this. If he just sticks to Tongliao, he will fall into an endless war of attrition with the Japanese army.  With a total force of only more than 20,000 men, he could not consume more than hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops no matter what.  Therefore, the best way is to take the initiative and use offense instead of defense to make it difficult for the Japanese army to attack from head to tail, and to supplement it with air force.Continuous air raids and bombings eventually wore them down, forcing them to cancel the attack and retreat.  At that time, if the army takes advantage of the situation and attacks, it will definitely win a complete victory.  Zhang Xinghan led the assault force to advance westward along the Xiliao River under the cover of night. By dawn, they had advanced more than 100 kilometers westward and entered the Naiman Banner area.  Successfully avoided Japanese scouts and agents along the route.  After entering the Naiman Banner area, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to stop marching and all enter the local dense woods to stand by.  ‘ ‘ They are like wild wolves in the night, hiding, waiting for the best opportunity to strike with a fatal blow.  ps: Thanks to the Daqin Alliance for the reward, thank you very much!  !  !

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 137: Lightning Raid

    Shenyang City, Sujiatun Railway Station.  .???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After more than two days of rapid march, the Japanese forward 5th Division was the first to arrive at the station.  Groups of heavily armed Japanese troops filed out of the train and immediately crossed the Hun River Bridge under the leadership of the army commander.  They entered Shenyang City, which they failed to enter at the cost of tens of thousands of lives some time ago.  However, the current Shenyang City has greatly disappointed the Japanese officers and soldiers who have been to Shenyang.  The most prosperous big city in Northeast Asia is now in a state of depression and dilapidation.  The city was almost deserted, and the once bustling and noisy streets were desolate. Not even a mouse could be found.  The first one to enter the city was the Japanese 5th Division. Captain Motojima was a squadron leader of the 11th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Division. He thought he would be the first to leave the city and grab a lot of Chinese girls, money and other items.  Now I am sitting on the steps in front of a closed restaurant, smoking a cigarette very depressed.  A company commander from Yu Zhishan’s headquarters was waiting respectfully.  "Lin Sang, Shenyang, I don't have the flower girl, I don't have the money, I'm very angry, you have to find a way to find the flower girl!" Bendao said dissatisfiedly to the puppet company commander surnamed Lin while smoking a cigarette.  The puppet company commander rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I know where the flower girl is. Please follow me." "Really?" "It's absolutely true." "Yo Xi, open the way!  "Captain Benjima stood up and waved his hand.  That afternoon, the 1st, 9th, and 14th divisions also arrived one after another.  After taking a short rest, the 1st Division and the 5th Division took the lead to leave Shenyang and headed for Xinmin. After arriving at Xinmin, they rested overnight before marching.  Immediately afterwards, the 14th Division also continued northward along the Nanman Railway, and the 9th Division also set off from Shenyang and headed westward in the early morning of the next day (December 25).  ????……………… During the two or three days when the Japanese army marched.  Zhang Xinghan was not idle either. After careful consideration, he finally decided on the next method of fighting.  That is to imitate the German blitzkrieg in World War II and choose the opportunity to launch an active attack on the Japanese army.  First of all, Zhang Xinghan’s army is fully capable of carrying out blitzkrieg.  A ground assault force composed of Panzer III tanks and German tracked armored vehicles.  Coupled with the full assistance of Stuka dive bombers in the air.  Such an assault force is unstoppable by the Japanese at this stage.  Stuka dive bombers' low-altitude bombing raids posed a huge threat to ground troops, let alone Japanese troops marching in the field.  Even the French army, which had strong permanent fortifications, failed to stop the German advance after the Maginot Line fell.  He can form a frontal assault force with forty tanks and armored vehicles, and more than two thousand main infantrymen of the 701st Regiment can follow up.  The cavalry regiment attacked from the flank and used a group of Stuka dive bombers to clear all obstacles and launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.  Although the scale of the armor composed of forty tanks and armored vehicles is small, from a tactical level, it can launch a separate assault against a Japanese division or even a regiment.  Still more than enough.  Having decided on the next combat method, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Shen Xingye to lead the reconnaissance company to disperse on military motorcycles and war horses to detect the latest movements of the Japanese army.  To ensure that the information is accurate and not leaked.  Zhang Xinghan added double insurance.  Gao Zhihang was secretly ordered to send out reconnaissance planes and Zero fighter jets for aerial reconnaissance.  Therefore, almost every move of the Japanese army is in the hands of Zhang Xinghan.  When it was learned that the Japanese 5th Division and 1st Division had marched towards Tongliao, the 9th Division subsequently set off from Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan immediately led the assault force to leave Naiman Banner and march eastward, waiting for the opportunity.  In order to attract the attention of the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan ordered the air force to frequently dispatch to harass the Japanese army.  At the same time, the reconnaissance company led by Shen Xingye also launched a fierce stranglehold with Japanese scouts scattered all over southwestern Liaoning.  Two days later, on December 27th, a great opportunity finally presented itself.  After reconnaissance by scouts and aerial reconnaissance aircraft, it was learned that the distance between the Japanese 1st and 5th Divisions and the 9th Division, which was the second wave of follow-up, had widened to 50 kilometers.  The reason is that the 9th Division is responsible for the transportation of baggage for three divisions, while the 1st and 5th Divisions, as the main attacking forces, advance lightly and have already reached Horqin's left rear flag.  The 9th Division has just arrived in Zhangwu and is preparing to move Zhangwu's supplies forward, using the Horqin Left Rear Banner as a supply place to facilitate the offensive troops to attack Tongliao directly.  Zhang Xinghan decided to seize this opportunity and immediately reported to the 9th Division.Launch a surprise attack.  The reason why the 9th Division was chosen was not only because it escorted a large amount of baggage, but mainly because there were not many Japanese troops behind the 9th Division.  The 14th Division went to Siping, and the troops left in Shenyang and Xinmin were less than a regiment. These troops were not enough to protect themselves. Where could they still have the ability to send reinforcements?  Even if the Japanese army desperately sent troops to reinforce the 9th Division that was under attack, the battle from Shenyang to Zhangwu was more than 100 kilometers away, and the battle was already over before they arrived.  Zhang Xinghan’s assault force had already fled hundreds of miles away.  The key to whether the attack on the 9th Division can inflict heavy damage is whether Zhang Xinghan's assault force can defeat the 9th Division before the 5th and 1st Divisions return for reinforcements.  Without the Air Force, Zhang Xinghan’s plan would undoubtedly be very risky.  But now it’s different. With the backing of a powerful air force, Zhang Xinghan’s assault force can not only receive almost terrifying precision low-altitude bombing support from the Air Force’s Stuka dive bombers.  You can also rely on air force bombing and strafing to delay the return support of the 1st and 5th Divisions, buying time for the assault force to defeat the entire 9th Division.  This is the charm of modern warfare. The number of people is no longer the fundamental factor that determines the victory of a battle.  The most important thing is the use of tactics and the timing of coordination between various advanced arms.  In a virgin forest about twenty miles southwest of Zhangwu.  At this time, it was dark, and Zhang Xinghan and more than 6,000 subordinates were waiting for dawn. With the air force, daytime was the best time to fight.  However, things didn’t work out as expected. Zhang Xinghan just leaned on his seat and wanted to take a nap.  A burst of rapid footsteps woke him up, and he looked around.  The commander of the reconnaissance company, Shen Xingye, walked over in a dark color and hurriedly.  "Yizhi, what's wrong? Is there something going on?" Zhang Xinghan asked with an ominous premonition in his heart.  Shen Xingye nodded and said: "Master, it's not good. The Japanese 9th Division in Zhangwu City set off overnight." "Huh? Set off overnight?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes froze.  "Yes, a large amount of military supplies has been loaded into hundreds of military trucks and ox carts. It is estimated that it is time to go more than ten miles west of the city." Shen Xingye nodded.  "It seems that the Japanese have also learned to be smart, and they actually know how to use the dark night march to avoid bombing by our air force." Zhang Xinghan said with great interest.  "Yes. The Japanese must have been frightened by our air force. They suffered many losses, and now they finally have some memory." Shen Xingye asked: "How about it, Master. Should we wait until dawn before attacking, or should we wait for dawn?"  Attack now? " "It's definitely not possible after daybreak. Even if the Japanese army can't reach Horqin's left rear flag overnight, we will have already lost the fighter plane." Zhang Xinghan frowned and thought for a while.  , gritted his teeth and decided: "Give me the order, the troops will set off immediately and attack all night." "Attack all night? Master, this way we will not get support from the air force. Isn't it a bit risky?" Shen Xingye was a little worried.  "Even though we lost the advantage of the air force in the dark night, we also got the cover of the night. We used the armored troops as the leader to launch a surprise attack directly into the center of the Japanese 9th Division, so that its leader could not take care of both, and we tried to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.  After destroying their military supplies, there is no need to fight, and the armored troops and cavalry immediately retreat and break away from the battle. "Zhang Xinghan analyzed: "In the dark, the Japanese army does not know our true strength and will definitely not dare to pursue them. After we are out of the battle, we will.  Take the opportunity to attack Zhangwu and force the Japanese army to return reinforcements. By dawn, we will launch a surprise attack on the 9th Division with the joint air force and we will win. "After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, the armor and cavalry troops and  More than 6,000 officers and soldiers from the 701st Regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters mobilized.  With the armored troops as the vanguard, the cavalry regiments protecting the flanks, and the infantry following in military vehicles, the 6,000-strong army used the cover of night to approach the marching 9th Division.  On the road from Zhangwu to Tongliao, the marching team of more than 20,000 people of the 9th Division stretched for several kilometers. In the dark night, the torches meandered like a long fire dragon, constantly moving forward.  In order to ensure the safety of a large amount of baggage materials, the current division commander of the 9th Division, Kenkichi Ueda, not only chose to march at night, but also arranged all baggage vehicle personnel in the middle of the marching column.  The two main brigades of the division were escorting them forward slowly. In addition to the baggage troops, Ueda Kenkichi's division headquarters was also in the middle.  At this time, the mechanization level of Japan's 17 permanent divisions was far from what it would be six years later. Even an old division like the 9th Division was only equipped with a reconnaissance tank squadron, which was subordinate to the cavalry regiment directly under the division.  Team.  &nbsp; There are not many vehicles and other tools, and most of the vehicles in the baggage troops are still horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.  It can be said that it is a semi-mechanical and semi-horse-making division group.  However, as the division commander, Ueda Kenkichi still owns an armored car as a means of transportation.  Ueda Kenkichi was riding an armored vehicle forward when suddenly the sound of harsh warning shots rang out outside. ? Immediately afterwards there was a deafening explosion, followed by intensive gunfire and shouts of death.  Ueda Kenkichi quickly opened the car door and got out of the car. He saw clouds of red light rising from the southwest. Huge explosions and intensive gunfire came from that direction, and they were getting closer and closer.  ps: I don’t know if I was poisoned while watching the romance movie about the island country. The computer froze and the sound card driver was broken. Reinstalling had no effect, so I reinstalled the system in the afternoon. Many of the original chapter manuscripts and information were no longer available.  Flying with wings, crying in pain.  I was busy downloading and installing various required software, which delayed my coding time. After finishing all this, the inspiration for coding was gone. I have been grinding until now to write today's third update.  I’m really sorry. I’ll update the next chapter tomorrow. I’ll prepare and write the next plot. I hope it will be exciting and exciting. I also hope that I can update ten times a day!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 138: Attack on Zhangwu

    "Adjutant! Adjutant! What's going on?" Ueda Kenkichi shouted hurriedly.  "General, yes, it's the armored assault force of the China Army!" An adjutant ran over in a panic and failed to stand at attention and salute.  Ueda Kenkichi’s face was very ugly. He had already sent the chariot squadron of the cavalry regiment to open the way in front. At present, there was nothing in the middle that could stop the Chinese army’s attack.  Where did these damned Chinese troops come from?  "Order the 6th Brigade and the 9th Cavalry Regiment to quickly return for reinforcements, and the 18th Brigade to advance immediately, and then send power to the 1st and 5th Division, asking them to quickly return for reinforcements." Ueda Kenkichi quickly deployed.  The adjutant lowered his head to accept the order, but before he could relay the order, he discovered that a group of tanks and armored vehicles spitting out flames had broken through the blocking of the security forces and rushed toward the division headquarters with a bang.  Several tanks took advantage of the situation and fired, and high-explosive bombs fell into the Japanese army's baggage team on the road.  "Boom, boom, boom" Violent explosions were accompanied by red lights. The adjutant quickly protected Ueda Kenkichi and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, division commander, this place is too dangerous. Please evacuate immediately." Ueda Kenkichi.  Didn't he know that this place was dangerous? He was so frightened that he immediately got into the armored vehicle and ordered the driver to drive immediately.  Bypassing the chaotic and crowded baggage troops on the highway, they fled forward.  Ueda Kenkichi is not really escaping. He is very smart. In front of him are the 6th Brigade and the 9th Cavalry Regiment, the main force of the division, as well as the only armored fighting vehicle squadron of the entire division.  As long as he leaves the danger area, he can immediately command the 6th Division and the 9th Cavalry Regiment to return to support the supply troops.  But his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness. If he took advantage of the chaos and escaped on foot in the dark, no one would be able to detect him.  But eager to escape quickly, he chose to take an armored vehicle, and nearly two hundred guards from his division headquarters' garrison squadron were still protecting the armored vehicle and following the armored vehicle to evacuate.  This abnormality quickly attracted the attention of the armored soldiers of the armored company and immediately reported it to the company commander Li Zhenyuan.  "That must be the senior officer of the Japs. Three rows and four rows will provide fire cover. One row and two rows will rush up with me and kill that armored vehicle." Li Zhenyuan quickly issued the order.  The third and fourth rows are armored vehicle platoons, equipped with a large number of vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the machine gun firepower is very fierce. After receiving the order, they immediately concentrated their firepower and violently fired at the chaotic Japanese supply troops.  The tanks in the first and second rows immediately took advantage of the situation to attack and fired while advancing.  From time to time, shells fell and exploded around Ueda Kenkichi's armored vehicle.  From time to time, guards from the division's garrison squadron were blown away.  At the same time, a large number of infantry rushed in, including a large number of mg34 general machine guns.  The dense firepower composed of MP18 submachine guns and Garand semi-automatic rifles suddenly covered them like raindrops.  The already chaotic Japanese troops were suddenly thrown to the ground in pieces like wheat.  More than 3,000 cavalrymen led by Sabli also arrived in two groups. The cavalrymen first fired a round of fierce fire with submachine guns, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese army. After getting closer, they drew their sabers and began to kill everywhere.  The Japanese baggage troops of about several thousand people have been completely cut into several sections by cavalry and infantry. The intensive firepower of the 701 regiment infantry is gradually wiping them out.  2. The tank troops led by Li Zhenyuan ran rampant like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep.  Chase all the way.  Under the constant bombardment of tank soldiers.  Ueda Kenkichi's guards had almost all their casualties, and the armored vehicle rushed into a low-lying area in a panic and broke down on the spot.  Li Zhenyuan personally controlled a 50mm tank gun and aimed it at the armored vehicle in which Kenkichi Ueda was riding.  There was a loud bang, and an armor-piercing bullet roared out.  There was a sudden flash of fire, and the armor-piercing bullet accurately hit the armored vehicle, instantly penetrating its weak and pitiful defensive armor.  The extremely high temperature immediately burned Ueda Kenkichi and others inside, and the subsequent explosion turned them and the armored vehicle into ruins.  Huge flames shot up into the sky, and the few remaining Japanese guards beside the armored vehicle were blown to pieces and died tragically on the spot.  After killing this armored vehicle.  Li Zhenyuan did not know that he had killed the command hub of the 9th Division, but instead led his tank crews to start firing at the heavy supplies of troops who were stubbornly resisting the Japanese.  The Panzer III tank was simply invincible to the Japanese supply troops who lacked anti-tank weapons.  The 50mm caliber high-explosive bomb was enough to destroy any stubborn Japanese troops hiding behind the baggage vehicles.  The cavalry and infantry were also speeding up their attacks. The Japanese 6th Brigade in the front and the 18th Brigade in the rear were alerted by the sound of gunfire.  But they were unable to get in touch with the division commander Ueda Kenkichi, so they had to lead their troops to return reinforcements.  The first one to arrive was a tank squadron of the 9th Cavalry Regiment. When the Japanese tank squadron appeared, Zhang Xinghan quickly orderedThe Sabli Cavalry Regiment retreated, and Li Zhenyuan led the armored company to attack.  The tank squadron of the 9th Division, except for two ** medium tanks (weighing 12 or 3 tons), the rest are all thin-skinned tanks and the Type 94 light tanks, commonly known as bean tanks.  This kind of light tank weighs only 3.5 tons and has a defensive armor of less than 12 mm. It can be easily destroyed by any anti-tank weapon.  In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the Czech-style 7.7mm light machine gun commonly equipped by the Chinese Communist Party was able to dent the armor of Little Japan's Bean Tank by five or six millimeters with one stroke.  Not to mention the Panzer III equipped with a 50mm tank gun.  Even the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun equipped on armored and tracked armored vehicles can penetrate it.  And the armored company has a total of forty Panzer III tanks and armored vehicles, while the tank squadron of the 2nd 9th Division only has eight tanks.  With the exception of the two ** medium tanks which were somewhat capable of fighting, the other bean tanks were barely vulnerable to a single blow in the ** armored company.  Their weak armor was as fragile as tofu under the fierce and powerful firepower coverage of the armored company.  Even though the medium tanks they were proud of were less than half the weight of the Panzer III tank, the defensive armor was naturally unable to withstand the artillery fire of the Panzer III tank.  Twenty tanks fought against two Japanese tanks, which can only ride on light tanks in the world, and the result is self-evident.  In less than ten minutes of fighting between the two sides, the precious tank squadron of the 9th Division was completely wiped out.  All eight tanks were blown to pieces.  At this time, the infantry had basically eliminated all the Japanese troops who were stubbornly resisting, and used grenades to ignite a large number of Japanese military supplies.  Seeing that the strategic goal had been achieved, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the infantry to evacuate first, and the armored company and cavalry regiment provided cover. Later, they alternated cover and withdrew from the battle.  As Zhang Xinghan expected, after the reinforcements of the 9th Division, which suffered heavy losses, arrived, they did not dare to send troops to pursue them because they did not know the truth and the division commander had been killed.  Instead, they tried their best to rush away the military supplies that had been ignited by the explosion, but with little success.  After leading his troops to quickly escape from the battle, Zhang Xinghan immediately commanded his troops to rush towards Zhangwu County.  The 1st and 5th Divisions, which had already advanced to Horqin's left rear banner, received news that the 9th Division had been attacked and the baggage troops had suffered heavy losses.  After being shocked, they sent cavalry mobile troops to return reinforcements.  But it was too late. Almost all the baggage and supplies escorted by the 9th Division were lost in the fire.  About an hour later, Zhang Xinghan led his troops quietly around the east gate of Zhangwu and arrived at the outskirts of the north gate of Zhangwu.  After some preparations, the artillery company directly under the 701st Regiment pulled out several 105 howitzers, dozens of mortars and 70 field guns.  With the help of twenty No. 3 tanks, all the muzzles were aimed at the north gate of Zhangwu.  "Fire!" Zhang Xinghan stood on a military truck and waved his hand.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom, boom" Shells roared out one after another, crashing towards the north gate of Zhangwu under the flames.  The 9th Division's troops left in Zhangwu were not many, with only one infantry brigade. After all, a large number of military supplies had to be moved forward to Horqin's left wing and rear banner, so there was no need for Zhangwu to leave more troops to waste.  .  When the 9th Division, which had just left the city, was attacked, the main attention of the Japanese troops in Zhangwu City was drawn to the southwest.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan's artillery suddenly opened fire, catching the small number of Japanese troops at the North Gate by surprise.  After only three rounds of volley fire, the Japanese troops responsible for the defense of the North Gate became completely dead and wounded. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  More than 3,000 infantrymen from the 701st Regiment and the Guard Battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly swarmed forward like a tide.  Under the cover of powerful firepower from tanks and armored vehicles, the closed city gates were easily opened and they entered the city.  The battle lasted for less than half an hour, and the remaining Japanese troops were driven out of Zhangwu County by the powerful 701 Regiment and guard battalion.  The Japanese troops, who suffered heavy casualties, fled hurriedly to the southwest.  When they met with the reinforcements from the 9th Division and the 1st and 5th Divisions who had heard the news, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to quickly withdraw from Zhangwu County.  Of course, during the evacuation, all captured Japanese warehouses and field hospitals were destroyed.  When the reinforcements from the 9th, 1st, and 5th Divisions returned to Zhangwu, Zhang Xinghan had already led his troops to evacuate Zhangwu.  In Zhangwu County, the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army looked at the messy Zhangwu garrison headquarters and cursed angrily.  At the same time, the three divisions immediately reported the unexpected situation to the Kwantung Army headquarters.  Inside the Kwantung Army headquarters.  Being called by the communications staffNanjiro was stunned when he woke up: "Nani Ueda Kenkichi, the division commander, was killed in action?" "Yes, Your Excellency General, the one who attacked the 9th Division was a well-equipped armored force, and its combat power was comparable to that of the Shenyang garrison.  The armored force of the brigade is even stronger." The communications staff member lowered his head and said, "However, Zhangwu County was also captured by the Chinese Army later, but it has been recaptured, but most of the supplies of the three divisions of the Imperial Army were destroyed.  The situation is not optimistic." Nanjiro felt a headache and immediately said: "Inform Chief of Staff Ishihara to come see me immediately." "Hai!" The Japanese communications staff member suddenly lowered his head and quickly took the order and left.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 139: Attacking the New People

    Not long after, Ishihara Wan'er arrived in a hurry.  On the way here, he had already heard the news about the death of the division commander of the 9th Division in the attack.  When Ishihara Wanji arrived, Nanjiro was already waiting for him in the war room.  He went straight to the war room. When he reached the door, he stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, General." "Ishihara-kun, come in quickly." Nanjiro waved his hand.  "Tell me, what should we do now? The commander of the Ueda Kenkichi division was killed in an attack. Most of the large quantities of logistics supplies escorted by the 9th Division were destroyed. The supplies carried by the 1st and 5th Divisions were only enough to last for three days. The most critical thing is  What's more, now this China armored force with unknown origin may threaten the imperial army's logistics supply line at any time, what should we do?" Nanjiro said with an extremely ugly face.  "It's very strange that Itagaki-kun has successfully eliminated Zhang Xinghan. In addition to his army division in the Northeast, which army also has armored units? And since Zhang Xinghan is dead and the army division is caught in an internal struggle for power, how dare you  Sending armored assault troops to attack the imperial army's offensive troops?" Ishihara Wanji was also extremely confused.  "Ishihara-kun, is it possible that Zhang Xinghan is not dead?" Nanjiro broke out in a cold sweat.  "Well Itagaki-kun shouldn't make such a big mistake in his work, right?" Ishihara smiled and said with a troubled face: "Now the imperial army is on the verge of firing. If it's just because of a Chinese armored force with unknown origin, we  Just withdraw the 1st, 5th, and 9th Divisions with fear like a tiger. Then where will the Imperial Army of Japan have any face?" Nanjiro was silent when he heard this. Indeed, now that the Imperial Army has become as strong as an arrow, it will just withdraw like this.  Come, I will definitely not be able to explain to the military and the entire Japanese people.  You must know that the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops is not as simple as sending out a small force to suppress the bandits, attacking when they say to attack, and withdrawing when they say to withdraw.  "Ishihara-kun, the top priority now is that we still have to come up with a better way. Ensure that the imperial army's logistics supply line is smooth before we can carry out the next offensive action." Nanjiro said.  "This is more difficult. Unless we transfer all the 14th, 11th, and 12th Divisions to Shenyang and Xinmin to Zhangwu, we can ensure the smooth flow of the logistics supply line of our offensive troops with strong force. But in this way, we will not be able to attack Changchun and Jinzhou.  Let’s move forward to carry out alert and attack,” Ishihara Wanji thought for a while.  "When will the supplementary forces of the 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 2nd, 6th and 20th divisions arrive in Dalian?" Nanjiro said.  "It is expected that it will take at least a week to complete mobilization and arrive. The most important thing is that our docks, airports and other infrastructure have not been repaired. In order to prevent another air attack by the China Air Force, even after reinforcements arrive, they must choose to land at night.  Going ashore, this undoubtedly had a great impact on our assembly speed," Ishihara smiled.  "A week is too long." Nanjiro frowned.  Ishihara Wanji stared at the map for a while and suddenly said: "General, judging from the time when the 9th Division and Zhangwu County were attacked successively, the action route of this unknown China Army armored force should be from west to east.  . In other words, after evacuating Zhangwu, they should now be in the Xinmin Liuhe area." Nanjiro hurriedly found Xinmin and Zhangwu on the map and said in shock: "Ishihara-kun.  The next target of this Chinese army will not be Xinmin, right? The imperial army does not have many troops in Xinmin. "It is very possible." Ishihara Wanji said bluntly: "General, in order to ensure that nothing happens, I suggest that the above-mentioned troops be transferred immediately.  The three divisions move closer to Shenyang and Xinmin. At the same time, the 1st, 5th, and 9th divisions should be ordered to advance eastward from Zhangwu in an effort to encircle and annihilate this China army in Shenyang and Xinmin. Of course, we must first send a telegram to Xinmin and Shenyang to guard  The army should be on alert to prevent a surprise attack by the Chinese Army." Nanjiro pondered for a while, then nodded and decided, "The 14th Division will be transferred back to Shenyang immediately, and the 11th and 12th Division will immediately go north from Panjin to Xinmin.  , While ensuring that the supply line of the imperial army is unobstructed, we can encircle and destroy this Chinese armored force and completely solve the imperial army's worries. " "Hai!" Ishihara Wanji lowered his head suddenly, turned around and took the order to leave.  The Kwantung Army’s orders were quickly issued to the 14th Division and the 11th and 12th Divisions. The three divisions started from Tieling and Panjin directions and moved closer to Shenyang and Xinmin areas respectively.  Looking back at Zhang Xinghan’s assault force.  After evacuating Zhangwu, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to maneuver to the vicinity of Liuhe south of Daliu Town, about 24 kilometers northeast of Zhangwu. After a short rest, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to advance along Liuhe in the direction of Xinmin.  His strategic purpose is obvious. Now that the Japanese troops in Shenyang and the New People's Liberation Army are empty, it is a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the void and capture these two places.  Just imagine, if even Shenyang was captured by Zhang Xinghan, how much of a shock would it cause to the Japanese army? But Zhang Xinghan didn’t know for the time being that Nanjiro had already adjusted the deployment of troops in time. The 11th, 12th, and 14th divisions had 60,000 to 70,000 soldiersThe army is encircling Shenyang and Xinmin areas.  "Master, we have been fighting all night. The armored soldiers are fine, but the brothers in the cavalry regiment are exhausted, especially the horses. If we don't stop to rest, they are likely to collapse from exhaustion." During the march, the cavalry regiment was exhausted.  The regiment leader Sabli rode a war horse and caught up with Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Okay, order the troops to rest in place for two hours, and send out more cavalry sentries just in case." Zhang Xinghan naturally knows that troops need to be quick, but it is still more than two hours before dawn.  At that time, our own air force will be able to provide powerful air support and reconnaissance and early warning.  “ Moreover, after the 9th Division and Zhangwu County were attacked one after another, the Japanese troops in Xinmin must have been on guard, and going to Xinmin at this time was also a forceful attack.  "In addition, the troops have been running for hundreds of miles in recent days. They have just gone through two fierce battles, but they are exhausted and in urgent need of rest.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan gave up his decision to attack Xinmin at all costs, and decided to wait until dawn and rely on the support of the air force to attack again.  After the troops stopped, Zhang Xinghan got out of the car and, surrounded by guards such as Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye, visited his subordinates who were resting and eating.  Since they only had two hours, the troops had to take a break and there was no time to light a fire to cook. Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan provided them with sufficient canned beef, compressed biscuits and other food before departure.  After all, in order to ensure its mobility, such an assault force generally does not have many cooking squad members.  The weather was very cold, and the water in the soldiers' kettles had already frozen into lumps. Many soldiers just ate compressed biscuits and some canned beef on ice, and fell asleep in the car after eating.  "Teacher." When he inspected the 701st regiment, the regiment leader Liu Jianguo saluted quickly with a piece of compressed biscuit in his hand.  "Jianguo, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and patted the old subordinate on the shoulder to express comfort.  "Hehe, we are all fighting against Japanese invaders. There is nothing hard or hard about it. Master, where should we fight next?" Liu Jianguo asked with a smile.  "First capture Xinmin, and then attack Shenyang according to the situation. If we can capture it, it will be best. If not, we can lead our troops south to cross the Hun River and then make plans." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Master, we are resting here. What if the Japanese troops behind us catch up?" Liu Jianguo said worriedly.  "The Japanese army has just experienced the Battle of Zhangwu, and the enemy situation is unclear at night, so they dare not act rashly. Besides, even if they want to attack at night, their scouts must be able to detect our position now.  "Zhang Xinghan said and looked at Shen Xingye meaningfully.  Shen Xingye smiled knowingly and nodded.  At the same time, there is a hilly mountainous area about ten kilometers east of Zhangwu.  Several scouts led by Zhao Long were ambushing here. As Zhang Xinghan expected, the Japanese army did not know the enemy's situation, so they sent many scouts out of the city to spy on the situation.  However, they were all blocked by the well-prepared reconnaissance company. Nearly half of the more than 100 scouts were used to defend against Zhangwu.  "Head, there is one at six o'clock, fifty years away" A deputy beside Zhao Long held up a telescope and observed carefully through the moonlight and whispered.  "Copy that." Zhao Long raised the sniper rifle in his hand and quickly spotted the sneaky black figure under the moonlight, and followed him to pull the trigger.  An inaudible gunshot rang out, and the black figure fell down about forty meters away.  At the same time, there was a forest about two or three kilometers away from the area where Zhao Long and the others were.  Several Japanese scouts were walking through the woods with rifles. Suddenly, several black figures jumped down from the trunk of the big tree where people were holding them, and the sharp knives in their hands were fiercely inserted into the bodies of the Japanese scouts.  Occasionally, some Japanese scouts barely managed to escape, but the knife-wielding agents of the reconnaissance company quickly came up to them, and within a short time, they were all easily eliminated.  After Cheng Bin killed the last Japanese scout, he grinned and said: "Take off all the grenades on them, make them into booby traps, and give breakfast to the little Japs who will collect their corpses tomorrow."  ………… Two hours passed in a blink of an eye. It was already past five o’clock in the morning, the night had faded slightly, the sky was gray, and the visibility had been greatly improved compared to two hours ago.  Zhang Xinghan sat in the cab of the military truck and took a nap. At this time, Shen Xingye came over and woke him up: "Master's seat, Master's seat, it's almost dawn." "Yeah!" Zhang Xinghan woke up after hearing the sound and rubbed his hands.  Rubbing his eyes, he said: "Nothing unusual, right?" "No, Zhao Long and Cheng Bin reported that a group of Japanese scouts did want to infiltrate and conduct reconnaissance eastward, but they were all dismissed." Shen Xingye said proudly  .  "Okay, order the troops to set off immediately. At the same time, send power to the Chief of Staff, and the entire air force will be dispatched immediately. Be sure to reconnoitre the enemy's situation in a radius of three hundred miles centered on Shenyang and Xinmin."?Report any abnormalities immediately.  "Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered. "Yes!  "Shen Xingye stood up to attention and immediately took the order to leave. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 140: Mobile Warfare

    Tongliao ** Division, military airport.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, Zhao Zhenfan immediately called Gao Zhihang.  Gao Zhihang immediately and deputy captain Liu Cuigang personally led their subordinates to fly fighter planes and bombers to take off.  Near the airport apron, a group of new pilots were watching with envy as fighter planes took off one after another.  Zhang Xinghua was also one of them, watching the pilots flying fighter planes into the sky, flying to the battlefield, killing the enemy and serving the country.  Zhang Xinghua felt that his blood was boiling: "Hanyun, brother, look at it. Sooner or later, I will be flying a fighter plane, soaring in the sky, fighting for the blue sky and peace of the motherland."  …………………… Outside the west gate of Xinmin County, Zhang Xinghua led the assault force to launch an attack. Dozens of mortars, field artillery and eight 105mm howitzers were violently bombarding Xinmin City.  The west gate of Xinmin City, hit by fierce artillery fire, suddenly burst into flames and thick smoke billowed. On top of the city, the Japanese troops were risking their lives to rescue the wounded and carrying sacks to reinforce the defenses.  Suddenly, there was a sound of an engine that grew smaller and louder from the distant sky.  Many Japanese soldiers on top of the city looked up and saw some violent spots appearing in the sky that had just opened. As the distance got closer, the Japanese soldiers discovered in horror that the incoming object was actually an airplane.  Zhang Xinghan stood in front of the front of a military truck, holding a cigarette in one hand. He looked up at the fighter planes flying over his head and said to Guo Zhong next to him: "Send the order. In ten minutes, the 701st Regiment will attack across the board to capture Xinmin."  City." A series of Stuka bombers rushed toward the west gate of Xinmin County with a sharp roar.  "俅俅俅俅" Along with a sharp whistling sound, heavy aerial bombs were accurately dropped on the head of Xinmin Ximen City by Stuka bombers.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom" Violent explosions sounded one after another, immediately blowing down the city wall. Huge flames and thick smoke rose into the sky. The Japanese troops on the top of the city were torn to pieces by the shock wave in the explosion.  Along with countless weapons and fragments of bunkers, they flew into the sky.  Several Zero fighter jets were also circling and shooting. In almost a few minutes, the ruins of the city turned into a sea of ??flames.  With the Japanese army suffering casualties, the infantrymen of the 701st Regiment, under the command of regiment leader Liu Jianguo, relied on the accompanying cover of tanks and armored vehicles to launch an attack on Xinmin County.  Under the cover of the air force, tanks, and armored vehicles, the infantry's attack went very smoothly.  ??See.  When they were about to capture Xinmin City and wipe out all the Japanese troops in the city, Shen Xingye suddenly walked over with a hurried expression.  He saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Master, our reconnaissance has just discovered that Japanese troops in Zhangwu and other places are moving closer to Xinmin. Air Force reconnaissance planes have also discovered important information. There are large numbers of Japanese troops in Panjin and Tieling heading towards Shenyang and Xinmin."  "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately took out a small combat map from the side and stared at the map for a while.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly said: "It seems that the little devil has a big appetite. He wants to gather us in the Xinmin and Shenyang areas." "Then what should we do next?" Shen Xingye asked.  "Pass my order, the 701st regiment and the armored company immediately stop attacking and withdraw from the battle. The cavalry regiment also withdraws from the siege of Xinmin City, and the entire army immediately crosses the Liuhe River south." After Zhang Xinghan said this, he said: "Call again to Gao Zhihang,  Liu Cuigang, the Air Force needs to use all its strength to bombard the main force of the Japanese army moving eastward from Zhangwu to slow down its advance and buy time for our troops to cross the Liuhe River." Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment and then ordered.  "Master, when we just withdrew from Zhangwu, I reconnoitred the situation of the Liuhe River. The average water depth is more than five meters and the width is several hundred meters. There are no large and solid bridges in the area from Zhangwu to Xinmin for our tanks.  To pass with the armored vehicles, a pontoon bridge was built on the spot. Not to mention that time was not allowed, and there were no equipment or engineers." Shen Xingye said a little embarrassed.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan realized that indeed, he had ignored this important issue. The No. 3 tank weighed more than 20 tons, and the nearby bridge that could withstand it passing safely and smoothly was the Hunhe River Railway Bridge in Shenyang.  So, Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and looked at the map again. After some careful inspection, Zhang Xinghan discovered that the Liuhe River was one of the tributaries of the Liaohe River, winding from the Kulun Banner to the east of Xinmin and joining the Liaohe River.  There is a bridge leading directly to Shenyang on the Liaohe River, but bypassing Xinmin and going to Shenyang is undoubtedly an extremely risky move at the moment.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan finally decided: "Order the troops to move north immediately, targeting Faku County. We must first get rid of the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army before making any plans." "Yes!" Shen Xingye took the order and left.  ????…………… East of Zhangwu, tens of thousands of troops from the 1st, 5th, and 9th Divisions were ordered to march toward Xinmin.  But before they could reach Xinmin, they were bombed by the air force led by Gao Zhihang. They suffered heavy casualties and were traveling at a very fast speed.?Severe decline.  When they rushed to Xinmin despite the bombing, Zhang Xinghan had already led his troops to bypass Xinmin City and fled north.  After arriving at Xinmin, the Japanese army did not pursue blindly, but reported the situation to the Kwantung Army headquarters.  In the headquarters, Nanjiro has not slept since he was woken up last night. He is sitting in the war room smoking and anxiously waiting for real-time reports from the front.  Ishihara Wanji walked in quickly with a message in hand with a solemn face, "Your Excellency General, the 1st Division, the China Army has escaped." "Huh? Escaped?" "Yes, after dawn, their air force will attack everywhere,  He must have discovered the intention of the imperial army divisions to gather towards Shenyang and Xinmin, and fled from Xinmin," Ishihara smiled and said.  "It's the Air Force again. The majestic Imperial Army of Japan actually lost air supremacy in Northeast Asia. If you hadn't experienced it personally, you wouldn't believe it." Nanjiro said angrily.  "General, don't be angry. The reason why the imperial army lost air superiority was entirely because our pilots underestimated the enemy, and the Chinese air force fighters were too advanced. It is not a crime other than war. In three days at most, the airport can be repaired. By then  , we can get the support of a large number of sea-based and land-based aviation forces and regain the air supremacy of Liaoning," Ishihara Wanji advised somewhat helplessly.  Before launching the September 18th Incident, who would have thought that China would have such a powerful air force? As for the origin of the advanced fighter jets of the **, the Japanese agents broke their heads and failed to figure out the reason.  "Ishihara-kun, what should we do next? Should we continue to pursue this Chinese army, or continue to attack Tongliao?" Nanjiro asked after calming down.  "They are a mobile force composed of armored and cavalry units. They have extremely strong mobility. Without specific terrain restrictions, it would be difficult for the imperial army to catch up with and destroy them on the Liaozhong Plain. In this case, any further pursuit would be futile. So  I suggested that the pursuit should be stopped immediately, and the 14th, 11th, and 12th divisions should cooperate with the local garrison to ensure the smooth flow of logistics supplies. The 1st, 5th, and 9th divisions should still attack Tongliao. As long as Tongliao is captured, the ** division's base area will be destroyed.  , the imperial army will be free to attack Changchun or Jinzhou," Ishihara Wanji thought for a while.  "Well, that makes sense, but the commander of the 9th Division, Kenkichi Ueda, was killed in action. Before the arrival of the new division commander appointed by the base camp, it is obviously not suitable to serve as the main offensive force for the time being. So, the 9th Division  Stay behind and move forward with the 11th Division," Nanjiro said.  "Hai!" Ishihara smiled and suddenly put his legs together and lowered his head to accept the order.  ………………………………… December 28, Faku County.  At this time, Faku County was in an ownerless state. Before the Japanese had time to capture it, the Northeastern Army had already withdrawn. There were only some old, weak, sick and disabled military police and policemen in the city.  After Zhang Xinghan led his troops to arrive, the old, weak, sick and disabled immediately raised their weapons and left the city to surrender.  In Faku County, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo were discussing the next battle plan around the map.  "Master, according to the information from the Air Force reconnaissance, the Japanese army has transferred all the tens of thousands of people originally deployed in Siping and Jinzhou to Shenyang and Xinmin. The purpose is self-evident, which is to expel us and consolidate their logistics.  supply line, thereby ensuring that the main offensive force attacks our Tongliao base area," Liu Jianguo gestured on the map.  "With tens of thousands of people, it seems that the little devils are determined to destroy our Tongliao Army." Zhang Xinghan smiled.  "This is also a matter that is being cleaned up. Ever since the Battle of Shenyang, the Japanese have regarded us as a serious threat and wish they could get rid of us quickly. To be arrogant, the reason why Little Japan mobilized more than a dozen divisions  The Japanese invaded the Northeast with nearly a whole nation of troops, mostly because our resistance caused them unprecedented trouble. In order to save their invincible reputation and achieve their strategic goal of occupying the three northeastern provinces, the Japanese had to take risks and fight with all their strength.  ." Liu Jianguo said.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: "That makes sense, but these dozen divisions are not Japan's national army. The Japanese currently have at least two million reserve soldiers of appropriate age. Of course, war is all about consumption.  , What is burned is money. If it does not reach a certain level, the Japanese will not participate in the war as a whole. Therefore, as long as we can survive this Japanese attack and stabilize our position, we will usher in a period of relatively peaceful development.  At this time, both the Japanese and we are in urgent need of rest and replenishment. "With our current cold speed, we will have an army of 100,000 in less than a year. By then, we will definitely have a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese army."  Drive the little devil out of the three eastern provinces," Liu Jianguo said with confidence.  "Well, that's right." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and patted Liu Jianguo on the shoulder.  "Then Master, what should we do next?" Liu Jianguo asked.??.  Zhang Xinghan stared down. After a long time, he took a picture of the map and said, "Here, order the troops to set off immediately." "Tieling?" Liu Jianguo looked at the map in surprise.  PS: The fourth update should come out around 1 o'clock, and it does not count as tomorrow's update. There will still be three updates tomorrow, or four updates at most.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 141: Strategic Locations

    Tieling is located between Shenyang and Siping. The South-Manchuria Railway runs through the entire territory. Tieling is also an important station of the South-Manchuria Railway.  Long before the September 18th Incident, this was one of the important garrison points of the Japanese on the Nanman Railway.  Since the September 18th Incident, Shenyang has been in full swing, but Siping and Tieling have been strangely quiet.  This was due to their awkward position. When the 29th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division was attacking Shenyang, another unit of the 2nd Division went north along the South Manchuria Railway in an attempt to cooperate with the garrison in Siping and Tieling.  Encroach on Jilin and capture Changchun.  However, when the battle situation in Shenyang took a turn for the worse, the 2nd Division had to give up its attack on Jilin and withdraw all its troops to Shenyang to participate in the war.  Due to insufficient strength, the garrison troops in Siping and Tieling had to stay put until today.  The former 14th Division was ordered to go north along the South-Manchuria Railway again, preparing to spy on Jilin, but due to the sudden change in the war situation, it withdrew to Shenyang. At this point, the Japanese garrison strength in Tieling returned to its original size.  There are less than three hundred people.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan chose Tieling as the target of this attack was not only because the Japanese army had limited troops in Tieling and Siping.  He wanted to capture Tieling and Siping and open up contact with Li Du and others in Changchun. They led his troops south along the South Manchuria Railway to attack Shenyang, threatening the Japanese's logistical supplies.  In order to prevent the Japanese from abandoning the city and fleeing, Zhang Xinghan ordered Sabuli to lead the cavalry regiment to surround Tieling County and the station regiment, and immediately commanded the armored company and the 701st regiment to launch an attack using Tieling station as a breakthrough.  The battle lasted less than an hour, and all the Japanese troops in Tieling City were wiped out.  After capturing Tieling, Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion to stay in Tieling City and ordered Liu Jianguo to lead the 701st Regiment, Cavalry Regiment and Armored Company to attack Siping.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan sent an urgent message to Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others.  In Changchun City, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and others have reorganized their headquarters into Jilin Anti-Japanese Rescue Corps after discussion.  Li Du is the commander, and Feng Zhanhai and Xing Zhanqing are the deputy commanders respectively.  Since we got Zhang Xinghan’s batch of weapons and ammunition.  Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others actively cooled down the troops and incorporated the old brigades of the 24th, 28th, and 27th brigades. In less than a month, the strength of the troops had grown to more than 20,000.  The headquarters is still organized into three brigades, with Li, Xing and Feng each serving as commanders of one brigade.  In the headquarters, Li Du was chatting with Xing Zhanqing, and Feng Zhanhai hurriedly walked in.  "Brother Zhichu. Brother Kuijiu just received an urgent message from Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the Tongliao ** Division." After Feng Zhanhai finished speaking, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing stood up in surprise, and asked in great surprise: "Who are you talking about? Zhang Xinghan?"  See Feng Zhanhai nodding.  Xing Zhanqing said in confusion: "Didn't Zhang Xinghan die after being assassinated by a traitor?" Li Du pondered for a while and said: "I think this matter is not that simple. The Japanese have gathered heavy troops to wipe out the three eastern provinces. The ** Division  First of all, Zhang Xinghan must have done this deliberately to show the enemy's weakness and to use surprise to win. ""What did Zhang Xinghan say in the message? What's the matter?" Li Du asked.  "Commander Zhang said in the telegram that he has led his troops to capture Tieling and is currently attacking Siping. He will attack soon. He hopes that we can lead his troops to go south with him and attack Shenyang to threaten the Japanese logistics supply line. He also said that Tongliao  We are close to Changchun, and we need to work together to fight against the powerful enemy. Only then can we protect Changchun and Tongliao." Feng Zhanhai replied.  "He actually led his army to attack Tieling and Siping?" "Brother Zhichu. Since Zhang Xinghan has already attacked Siping, we will quickly send troops to join forces with them and capture Siping first." Xing Zhanqing said eagerly.  Li Du pondered for a while and said: "Zhang Xinghan is right. We are at loggerheads with his Tongliao Army. We will immediately gather our troops and march towards Siping."  department.  "General, Tieling has been lost. Siping has been surrounded by the Chinese army and is under fierce attack. More than half of the Siping garrison has been killed or wounded. Brigade leader Major Sasaki requested emergency tactical guidance." A communications staff officer quickly walked into the war room with his legs together and stood up to salute.  reported.  In the war room, Nanjiro and Ishihara Wanji both changed their expressions when they heard this and looked at each other.  Nanjiro said to Ishihara Wanji: "Ishihara-kun, this China army is extremely cunning, what should we do?" Ishihara Wanji frowned and said: "They are extremely mobile and equipped with a large number of artillery. Their combat style is similar to that of Zhang Xinghan.  The ** Division was exactly the same. At dawn today, the ** Division's air force fighter planes continued to attack various parts of the Imperial Army. Immediately afterwards, the Chinese Army, which was still attacking Xinmin, immediately stopped attacking as if it had received the news in advance.  Run away, General."Don't you think this seems a bit too coincidental?" "Ishihara-kun, what you mean isZhang Xinghan is not dead yet?" Nanjiro looked at Ishihara Wanji with a sad face. "It is very possible that not only is he not dead, but he is even suspected of being under the position,"  This China armored force is the ** armored force led by Zhang Xinghan.  "Ishihara Wanji said with a serious face. Nanjiro's face was uglier than his dead father, and he was ashamed and angry: "Didn't Itagaki-kun say that Zhang Xinghan is dead? What on earth is going on?" "General, please don't be angry about this.  It's just a humble guess, and it needs to be verified by the special higher education department before we can draw a conclusion.  "Ishihara Wanji was deeply afraid that Nanjiro would do something detrimental to his good friend in anger, so he quickly explained. "I order Doihara Kenji and Itagaki Seishiro to find out whether this matter is true or false.  "Nanjiro said solemnly. "What about Siping?" Ishihara Wanji asked tentatively. "Jade broken battle.  " Nanjiro almost said this through his teeth. Ishihara Wan'er didn't say much, lowered his head and accepted the order. "In fact, they all know that Siping is thousands of miles away, and there is no way to rescue them. Even if they can  Rushing for reinforcements has no value in rescuing them. At this point, no troops can rush to Siping before it is captured by the Chinese army. Therefore, the only way left for the Siping defenders is to fight to the death.  Martyrdom, as for surrender, it doesn’t matter whether the squadron outside the city is willing to accept it. The Japanese, who have always upheld the spirit of loyalty and bushido, would rather die in battle than surrender. Not only will they not be able to enter Yasukuni after their death.  Shrine. Their relatives will also be discriminated against. However, Zhang Xinghan never thought of accepting the surrender of any Japanese. Even if the Japanese army in Siping City did not fight to the end, there was only one outcome waiting for them, and that was death.  The firepower, ground assault force and artillery attack of the Japanese division were naturally not something that hundreds of Japanese remnants could withstand. Under the devastating blow of absolute strength, the personal bravery and bushido spirit that the Japanese believed in were fragile.  Under the crushing bombardment of tanks and artillery, the flesh-and-blood Japanese soldiers were killed one after another. When Li Du and Feng Zhanhai led two and a half brigades with a total of more than 15,000 troops, they left Changchun and arrived near Gongzhuling.  . Siping had been captured by Liu Jianguo, and several hundred Japanese troops were wiped out. After learning that Siping was captured, Li Du and others immediately marched towards Siping, and the two sides joined forces at Tieling.  In the former Japanese garrison headquarters, Zhang Xinghan, Li Du, Feng Zhanhai and others were discussing the next battle plan. "Brother Zhichu, Brother Shoushan, according to the report of our air force, the Japanese forward troops passed through Horqin's left wing yesterday.  The rear flag is currently advancing towards Qinglong Mountain.  The Japanese troops in the direction of Shenyang and Xinmin had no motive to go north and seemed to be planning to abandon Tieling and Siping.  Concentrate our efforts to attack the base area of ??our ** division.  "Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and introduced the two of them. "General Zhang, just tell us what our next move will be.  We will fully cooperate.  "Feng Zhanhai admired Zhang Xinghan endlessly. He was very happy to see that Zhang Xinghan was really alive. Li Du also nodded and said: "Yes.  Please also ask brother Xinghan to assign combat tasks to us.  " "Brothers Zhichu and Shoushan are serious. This battle is not only related to the gains and losses of our ** division's base area, but also related to the life and death of tens of millions of compatriots in the entire three northeastern provinces. With this victory, Jilin'an and most of the Northeast are still in danger.  In the hands of our Chinese team.  If this station is defeated, not only the whole of Liaoning will be lost.  The entire three eastern provinces will be lost, and even Guan Nei will be affected.  So, before that, Xinghan has something to tell you. This battle is related to the life and death of our Northeast. Please tell the officers and soldiers at all levels in your department that you need to go all out and fight with blood!  Generals will not be greedy for life, and soldiers will have the heart to die. For the tens of millions of compatriots and elders in the three eastern provinces, our two athletes should not be afraid of sacrifice and fight to the death. If we succeed, we will be rich and powerful, and if we die, our names will go down in history!  " Li Du and Feng Zhanhai were deeply moved, and immediately expressed their stance: "General Zhang, don't worry, once the gunfire rings out, Li and Shoushan will lead their soldiers to fight to the death, and they will never be cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.  " "Well, I will let the air force provide support to you at any time.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and pointed to the Nanman Railway line on the map: "The mission of the two of you is very simple, that is, lead the troops south to Shenyang along the Nanman Railway, threaten Shenyang under the cover of the air force, and attract the attention of the Japanese army for my roundabout troops.  We will use our strength to attack the Japanese army's logistics supply lines as much as possible. The most critical point is the Hun River Bridge east of Shenyang. As long as you attract the attention of the main force of the Japanese army, I will take the opportunity to seize the Sujiatun Station and send the air force to blow up the Hun River.  The railway bridge completely cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Shenyang and Xinmin areas and the rear areas of Dalian."Cut off their later supplies. Without logistical supplies, in a few days, the Japanese army will turn into toothless tigers with just a few divisions. By then, we will take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale counterattack, and we will definitely win!"  "But, if this happens, Sujiatun will become the focus of the Japanese army's fierce attack. Can you hold Sujiatun?" Li Du said with some worry. "The victory will be known until the last soldier is killed!"  "Zhang Xinghan said coldly and solemnly. "Okay, we will do our best, general, don't worry.  "Li Du and Feng Zhanhai saluted at the same time. Zhang Xinghan also stood up and saluted: "Take care!  "    "Take care of yourself!  "Li and Feng stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and strode away with the adjutant. PS: I just finished writing this. I am so tired and sleepy.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 142: Fierce Battle at Qinglong Mountain

    On January 1, the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), Zhang Xinghan and Li Du separated their troops from Tieling.  Li Du and Feng Zhanhai led their troops, totaling more than 15,000 people, to advance toward Shenyang along the South Manchuria Railway.  Zhang Xinghan led his armored troops to quietly advance from Tieling to the southeast.  At the same time, the Japanese 1st and 5th Divisions have arrived at Qinglong Mountain in Tongliao, and the 11th Division, which replaced the 9th Division, has also arrived at Horqin's left rear banner.  The 9th Division is stationed on the line from Zhangwu to Xinmin, the 14th Division is stationed in Shenyang, and the 12th Division heading north from Panjin is deployed in Anshan, Liaoyang, Dingtao and other important South Manchuria railway towns.  Deputy Division Commander Huang Xiansheng learned that the Japanese offensive troops had arrived, and drove to Qinglong Mountain overnight to prepare to command the defense.  In a secret observation post at the front of the 702 regiment's position at the west end of Qinglong Mountain, Mr. Huang, accompanied by Wang Yicai, the leader of the 702 regiment, was observing the movements of the Japanese troops with a telescope.  Through the telescope, Huang Xiansheng could clearly see that the Japanese army was building an attack position.  "Vice-in-Chief, are you asking the artillery to give him a few blows?" Wang Yicai said angrily as he put down his binoculars.  "It is not appropriate for the artillery to be exposed for the time being. Let's call the air force for bombing and give the little devils a greeting gift. We can't let them repair the offensive position in peace." Huang Xiansheng put down the telescope and turned around and said.  "Yes!" Wang Yicai stood up and responded, then turned and left.  Captain Bendao was in a good mood. Under the guidance of the puppet troops along the way, his squadron massacred several Chinese villages.  He himself also found a few pretty young flower girls, and his animal desires were well vented.  At this moment.  His squadron was being ordered to build fortifications, so as the squadron leader, he naturally did not have to do the work himself.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Suddenly, a deafening roar of engines sounded from the front. The captain of the island stood up in shock. He saw about a dozen Chinese fighter planes flying past the hills in front, roaring towards them.  Captain Motoshima's pupils suddenly dilated, he threw away the wine bag and shouted at the top of his lungs: "No, China Army air attack. Hurry, take cover!" The plane was extremely fast, and Captain Motoshima barely finished speaking.  The He111 bomber roared in.  A carpet bombing began with sharp and piercing screams.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded one after another, and several forward squadrons, including the main island squadron, were all shrouded in fire and gunpowder smoke.  Under the huge shock wave, some Japanese soldiers were wiped out in an instant.  In the observation post of the 702nd Regiment in Qinglong Mountain, Huang Xiansheng and Wang Yicai were watching the Air Force bombing with binoculars.  I saw huge clouds of thick smoke rising from the Japanese position accompanied by fire, and the entire Japanese position turned into a sea of ??fire.  Wang Yicai said excitedly: "Great, blow up these little bastards." Inside the temporary field headquarters of the 5th Division.  The current commander of the 5th Division.  Lieutenant General Shouichi Temple's face was solemn and he was holding a telescope to watch what was happening in the forward position.  As the Chinese Air Force bombing continued, Terauchi Shouichi's face gradually turned livid.  The hands holding the telescope were clenched involuntarily, and the veins on his arms popped out.  "Baggaya Road, the abominable Chinese people bombed our Imperial Japanese Army so unscrupulously." Terauchi Shouichi couldn't help but be angry. The majestic Imperial Japanese Army actually lost air superiority and could only be passively bombed.  This feels really bad.  "Division Commander, please calm down. The loss of air supremacy by the Imperial Army has become an established fact. Next, we still need to prepare for air defense and study how to launch an attack on the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the China Army." The current Chief of Staff, Colonel Ando Toshiyoshi, quickly  advised.  "Terauchi Juichi was able to serve as the commander of the North China Front of the Japanese invaders six years later and was promoted to general, and to be promoted to marshal ten years later, which is enough to prove that this person is not an ordinary person.  The anger he had just returned was quickly calmed down, and he returned to his former composure. After pondering for a moment, Touichi Terauchi said sharply: "The key to successfully breaking through the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the Chinese Army lies in whether the Imperial Army's artillery unit can successfully attack it."  The Chinese Army survived the air attack. Otherwise, once it loses the cover of artillery fire, it will be as difficult as trying to break through the long-established defense line of the Chinese Army. " "Of course, the most critical point is logistical supplies.  To keep up, the attack on Qinglong Mountain must be a fierce head-to-head war of attrition, and supplies such as bullets, artillery shells, etc. must be kept in constant supply. " "Your Excellency, the division commander, is right. I humbly suggest that all the air defense forces of the entire division be assigned to the artillery.  The 5th Regiment is to strengthen the survival rate of the artillery regiment and ensure the imperial army's offensive.The army's artillery cover continued.  "Ando Toshiyoshi said respectfully. "Well, this matter should be dealt with quickly. I order the captain of the 5th Artillery Regiment to do a good job in concealing the troops and not to slack off!  "Terauchi Shou nodded and agreed. "Hai, I'll make arrangements right away.  "Ando Rikichi put his feet together respectfully and bowed his head suddenly in response, then turned around and took the order. As a division chief of staff, there is a reason why Ando Rikichi respects Juichi Terauchi so much. After Juichi Terauchi came from a well-known family, he  His father, Masaki Terauchi, was a founder of the Meiji period and a descendant of the hereditary noble family of the Yamato nation. In a country with such a strict hierarchy like Japan, how could Ando Rikichi, who came from an ordinary background, dare to be disrespectful at all? Compared with the caution and calmness of Juichi Terauchi, the current 1st Division  The division commander, Lieutenant General Lin Xian, was even more cunning. He not only concentrated the entire division's anti-aircraft weapons, such as 20mm rapid-fire cannons and 12,7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and deployed them around the artillery positions, he also ordered the troops to seize the time at all costs.  Emergency repairs and excavation of air raid shelters and other defensive fortifications were carried out. You must know that the temperature in the northeast during the cold winter months is minus 30 or 40 degrees, especially on the Horqin grassland. The land covered with snow and water is extremely hard, and bullets cannot penetrate even a millimeter.  The bullet impact point left a slightly invisible mark, which was difficult to dig with a shovel. However, Lin Xianzhi, an old devil, ordered the logistics team to use fire to break the ice to assist the engineers and field troops in the excavation.  The fortifications. Lin Xianzhi's persistence was not in vain. In the following battle, the 1st Division avoided suffering heavy casualties due to large-scale bombing by the Japanese Division. Until that night, the various units of the 11th Division also suffered.  Arriving one after another, the 1st and 5th divisions took advantage of the cover of darkness to launch attacks on the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the 702nd and 704th regiments respectively. In the dark, the first to fire was the Japanese artillery regiment, which dropped shells one after another.  On the positions of the 702nd and 704th Regiments, there were dazzling fires. The cold weather made the fortifications and bunkers built by the ** Division much stronger than before. The Japanese army was mostly bombarded by 75- and 70-caliber artillery.  , completely unable to shake the fortifications of the battalions and companies of the 702nd and 704th regiments. After the fire, the machine gun bunkers and bunkers were still standing intact. About 20 minutes after the Japanese bombardment, the 1st and 5th divisions were dispatched respectively.  An infantry brigade launched a charge towards the positions of the two regiments of the ** Division. At this moment, the two regiments' artillery companies, which had been silent, fired one after another with more than a dozen artillery shells.  With a scream, they fell into the charging Japanese army. Even though the Japanese skirmishers were spread out, they suffered heavy casualties. Seeing this scene, both the commander of the 5th Division and Juichi Terauchi were killed.  Lin Xianzhi, commander of the 1st Division, could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. However, the bombardment failed to break up the Japanese attack. The two Japanese commanders pulled out their command swords and slashed forward: "Kill Gaga!"  "Hundreds of Japanese troops accelerated in vain, and launched a rapid charge in a wavy line silently. The first to fire were several machine gun fire points at the front of the 702 regiment. In the dark, dense bullets came from the muzzles of the machine guns like tongues of flame.  The jets were particularly dazzling. The dense bullets immediately knocked down the first few Japs to the ground, but more Japs rushed forward one after another, and then the 702 regiment's firepower points in depth also opened fire, and they were suddenly hit by fierce firepower.  Suppressed, the attacking Japanese infantry fell down one after another. Under the cover of their own light and heavy machine gun fire, they began to crawl forward while firing back. The Japanese grenades charging with the infantry squad were now in an embarrassing situation. The active grenades they were equipped with.  The grenade was a Taisho 11-year-old grenade. The effective distance of this grenade was only 250 meters. Before they could reach this distance, the intensive machine gun firepower of the ** Division defenders had already suppressed them, making them unable to raise their heads.  They were unable to provide effective fire support to the infantry in time to help the infantry achieve an offensive breakthrough. Fortunately, at this time, the Type 89 grenade that was later commonly equipped by the Japanese invaders had not yet been installed. Otherwise, the Type 89 grenade would be used.  The effective range of the grenade is 500 meters, and the machine gun firepower of the ** division is dangerous. In the dark night, gunshots are heard under Qinglong Mountain. Looking down from the regiment headquarters halfway up the mountain, the entire battlefield situation is in full view, and the dense bullets are like a gun.  Meteors generally shuttled back and forth. Under the blow of these "meteors", the attacking Japanese troops continued to fall on the charging road. The explosions caused by grenades and mortar shells bloomed one after another, like small fireworks.  "Order the troops, launch flares, and beat him up hard, son of a bitch.  Huang Xiansheng turned to Wang Yicai and ordered."Yes!" Wang Yicai immediately picked up the phone and quickly conveyed the order to the commanders of each battalion and company.  Not long after, a large number of flares were fired from the 702 regiment's position, and the 704 regiment on the left followed suit.  In an instant, the bright flares dispersed the thick darkness of night, illuminating the entire Qinglong Mountain battlefield as if it were daytime. The Japanese troops who were crawling and attacking were suddenly nowhere to be seen.  ps: Thank you to I'm Dizzy~~~~~~, abccd5432, Laowang Arthur, Tianya Buyao, ianmonne, Heroes of the Qin Dynasty, Mouse Love mm and many others who voted for Huben.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 143: Attack on Sujiatun

    Under the blazing white light of the flares, the entire Qinglong Mountain battlefield was as bright as day, and the identities of the captain and his subordinates who were participating in the attack were immediately exposed.  Liu Zhenhu, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 702nd Regiment, was manipulating a general-purpose machine gun to shoot at the captain of the island and others.  The dense rain of bullets poured out in a fan shape, and "bang bang bang" the sound of bullets hitting rocks and ice was heard one after another around the captain of the island.  A Japanese soldier who was less than ten meters away from the captain of the island was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot.  Captain Motojima was very alert and rolled and crawled away into a bomb crater. He lay down in the crater without daring to raise his head at all.  I just feel like bullets are constantly flying over the crater.  Captain Motojima is as alert as he is, but that doesn’t mean that his subordinates are as lucky as him to hide in the crater in time.  With the help of flares, the sights of the ** division soldiers were widened, and the shooting accuracy of machine guns and rifles was greatly improved. Under the intensive firepower, the prostrate and attacking Japanese troops were shot one after another, lying on the ground and turning into corpses.  It didn’t take long for the Japanese army to retreat like a tide because they could not bear the increasing casualties.  ……………… While the fierce battle in Qinglong Mountain was in full swing, Zhang Xinghan led the assault force also bypassed Shenyang and Fushun, starting from the Salhu Mountain in the southeast of Fushun (near the Dahuofang Reservoir in Fushun today, that is, the Battle of Salhu  The site) area is crossed to the south by the Hun River.  After crossing the Hun River in the south, Zhang Xinghan immediately led his troops to march westward along the Hun River. Taking advantage of the strong mobility of the troops, they marched nearly 140 kilometers day and night, and arrived near the east of Sujiatun in the early morning of the 1st.     at this time.  All the people east of Sujiatun and south of Hunhe River, including Niujiatun, had already evacuated to Tongliao with the ** division. There was no human habitation within a hundred miles, which provided an opportunity for Zhang Xinghan's assault troops to sneak in.  Until he led his troops to the eastern suburbs of Sujiatun, his whereabouts were not discovered by the Japanese.  At this time, Sujiatun has become the absolute rear of the Japanese. Not to mention the 14th and 9th divisions on the north bank of the Hun River and the 1st, 5th, and 9th divisions that are attacking Tongliao, Anshan is south of Sujiatun.  There is also a reorganized division of the 2nd Division stationed in Liaoyang and Dingtao.  Dalian even has three divisions: the 2nd, 6th, and 20th.  Although they suffered a defeat, their morale has recovered after such a long period of rest. If something happens to Sujiatun, they can quickly form a division and go north for reinforcements.  Under such circumstances, a Japanese squadron stationed in Sujiatun never expected that a squadron would suddenly appear.  In order to delay the time when the Japanese army knew about the attack on Sujiatun, and to delay as much as possible until dawn so that they could use the air force to destroy the Hunhe Railway Bridge, Zhang Xinghan did not launch a forceful attack.  Instead, the reconnaissance company first cut off the telephone lines between Sujiatun Station and Shenyang and the lighthouse.  "Immediately let Shen Xingye lead the reconnaissance company and some elite guards from the guard battalion to quietly approach Sujiatun Station.  Because of the cold weather and freezing ground.  Except for the necessary ten sentries, the more than one hundred defenders of Sujiatun all hid in the station barracks to sleep.  In order to prevent the burst of gunfire from alerting the Japanese troops in the direction of Shenyang and the lighthouse, Zhang Xinghan instructed Shen Xingye and several reconnaissance company leaders to quietly kill more than ten Japanese soldiers who were on guard.  Then he directly used poison gas bombs to send all the more than a hundred sleeping Japanese to meet their Amaterasu, and captured Sujiatun Station almost without any blood.  Actually, it’s not that the Japanese army is incompetent. In fact, the appearance of Zhang Xinghan and the others was so unexpected that the Japanese army was not mentally prepared at all and their vigilance was completely relaxed.  “In addition, all the reconnaissance companies are very good at kung fu, so they can easily defeat the Japanese guard post because of their mental arithmetic and unpreparedness.  Finally, they were all killed with poison gas.  After quietly capturing Sujiatun.  Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered each battalion and company of the 701st Regiment to garrison their positions.  Fortunately, at this time, the defensive positions and fortifications built by the Shenyang Garrison Brigade in Sujiatun were still intact.  It saves the officers and soldiers of the 701st Regiment a lot of trouble.  In terms of troop deployment, Zhang Xinghan deployed two battalions of the 701st Regiment facing south, and one battalion faced north to guard. It was obvious that the Yilian River Bridge was blown up by an air force air strike.  The assault force’s first defense will be the Japanese 12th Division in Liaoyang.  As for the 14th Division in Shenyang and the 9th Division in Zhangwu, the Air Force patrolled and bombed along the river during the day. It was impossible for them to build pontoons to cross the Hun River on a large scale.  As for the cavalry regiment and armored company.  Especially the cavalry regiment, which was withdrawn to Sujiatun by Zhang Xinghan and immediately rested on the spot, because he still had extremely important tasks to hand over to the cavalry regiment.  The waiting room of Sujiatun Station has now become Zhang Xinghan’s temporary headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan was filled with sadness when he returned to Sujiatun after dozens of days, but this time he was about to face a more severe situation than the last time.  If things don’t work out, defeat the enemies in the areas north of the Hun River and east of the Liao River in the west.The strategic plan of the entire Japanese division would be in vain.  If successful, the situation in the entire Northeast will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes. Even if the next few divisions of the Japanese army arrive, they will be unable to fight again in a short time.  Therefore, the battle of Sujiatun will be directly related to the future situation of the Northeast region.  As a time traveler, with unlimited ammunition and weapons as his backing, Zhang Xinghan never thought about just immersing himself in development and watching the Japanese conquer the entire Northeast. He also never thought about waiting for the Japanese to gain a foothold in the Northeast and launch a full-scale war of aggression against China.  Another battle with the Japanese.  Therefore, even if the Japanese do not take the initiative to attack the Japanese division this time, Zhang Xinghan will mobilize as many troops as possible to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army.  Of course, there is another important reason why Zhang Xinghan dared to lead hundreds of troops to attack Sujiatun at the risk of being trapped in a tight siege.  That is the unlimited production of your own watch game. If you want to obtain more advanced weapons and equipment, you must have enough enemy kill value. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of 10 enemy kill points for killing a Japanese.  If the strategic goal can be achieved this time, I can get at least 300,000 to 500,000 enemy kills.  In this way, you can at least equip your troops with a batch of more advanced fighters or tanks.  In modern air combat, the superior performance of fighter aircraft across generations will infinitely magnify the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves in actual combat.  For example, the speed and airborne equipment of fighter planes before World War II were very backward, and air combat between the two sides was basically close combat.  “As older and more advanced instruments are loaded, fighter planes become faster and faster, and close combat between fighter planes will gradually evolve into beyond-visual-range battles.  Therefore, in modern air combat, the more advanced the performance of fighter aircraft, the more quality can be achieved over quantity.  “We currently lack enough pilots, let alone complete and abundant reserve pilots, so every pilot, especially veteran pilots with combat experience, is extremely precious.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan can’t wait to obtain more advanced fighters. Only by replacing the Air Force with more advanced fighters as soon as possible can the Air Force continue to maintain its air superiority in Northeast Asia.  With air superiority, it will be able to greatly make up for the disadvantage in military strength.  It can also greatly limit any enemy combat actions.  The radio station was quickly set up, and Zhang Xinghan immediately sent telegrams to Gao Zhihang, Zhao Zhenfan, and Huang Xiansheng respectively.  Informed them of the purpose of their next operation, and ordered the air force to take off immediately at dawn to bomb and destroy the Hun River Bridge.  A few hours passed quickly, and it was just getting dark when Zhang Xinghan was awakened by the sound of an airplane engine.  I quickly walked out of the headquarters and saw a dozen of our own fighter jets covering the Hun River Bridge north of the station, covering about four or five Stukas attacking the Hun River Bridge.  The small group of Japanese troops guarding the north bank of the Hun River were completely unprepared for the sudden arrival of the ** Division Air Force. Under the strafing fire of Zero fighter jets, they were unable to fight back and were quickly killed and injured.  The Stuka bomber's accurate bombing performance was fully demonstrated at this moment.  Heavy aerial bombs landed accurately on the Hunhe River Railway Bridge. The huge explosion immediately broke the bridge, and subsequent explosions brought the damage to the extreme.  There were flying rails and gravel everywhere. Sections of rails and huge stones rolled into the thinly frozen river water, easily breaking through the ice and falling into the cold river bottom.  The huge explosion at the Hunhe Bridge soon alerted the headquarters of the two Japanese army regiments in Shenyang and Liaoyang.  For convenience, the staff officer of the Liaoyang 12th Division Headquarters called Sujiatun and planned to ask the Sujiatun garrison squadron to go and see what happened.  However, they found that the phone could not get through at all, and the 14th Division in the direction of Shenyang could not contact Sujiatun. However, the 14th Division had already learned that it was the Chinese Air Force that attacked the Hunhe Bridge.  Because Sujiatun could not be contacted, the 12th Liaoyang Division could not be contacted by phone.  In the end, the headquarters of the two divisions established contact through radio. The headquarters of the 12th Division ordered a regiment stationed in the lighthouse to send troops to Sujiatun to conduct reconnaissance to see what happened there.  The Japanese army in Lighthouse sent a small team on a locomotive heading towards Sujiatun.  Shen Xingye’s reconnaissance company soldiers immediately reported this information to Zhang Xinghan.  After Zhang Xinghan learned about it, he immediately ordered the scouts of the reconnaissance company to blow up the railway in the rear after the Japanese team's locomotive passed by, cutting off the Japanese team's retreat.  Immediately ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead an armored company to attack decisively, using tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns to kill thisThe entire Japanese squad was wiped out on the locomotive.  After the Japanese army in Beacon discovered that there had been no news from the dispatched team, they finally lost their composure and sent out an infantry brigade to quickly drive towards Sujiatun along the railway.  Just halfway through the march, the Japanese brigade discovered the railway that had been destroyed by the ** Division's scouts.  The shocked Japanese army immediately reported this abnormal information to the regiment headquarters.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 144: Encountering a Hard Trouble

    When the Japanese troops in Lighthouse learned the news, they were shocked. While reporting it to the division headquarters, they rushed out in full force and headed towards Sujiatun along the railway line.  The previously dispatched team lost contact, and the Hunhe River Railway Bridge was bombed, so the Sujiatun garrison squadron could not be contacted. No matter how stupid the Japanese were, they could guess that something had happened in Sujiatun.  Liaoyang Japanese 12th Division Headquarters, Lieutenant General Sugiyama Gen., the current commander of the 12th Division, said with a surprised face: "What did you say? Sujiatun might be attacked?" "Your Excellency, it is very possible that Su  The Jiatun Garrison Squadron has not contacted us since last night. An infantry team sent by the 14th Infantry Regiment of the 12th Brigade stationed at the lighthouse also lost contact not long ago. The 14th Regiment is currently in the distance.  Not far from Sujiatun, a damaged railway was discovered," Colonel Ogawa Toshio, then chief of staff of the 12th Division, nodded.  After hearing this, Sugiyama Gen walked towards the map, stared at it for a moment, and said: "Who is so bold and dares to attack Sujiatun at this time? What do they want to do?" Ogawa Toshio did not answer, but waited for Sugiyama Gen's decision.  After pondering for a moment, Sugiyama Gen finally made a decision: "Telegram to the 14th Infantry Regiment, no matter what happens in Sujiatun, take it back immediately." "Hai!" Ogawa Toshio put his feet together, lowered his head suddenly, and turned around immediately  Leave.  At this moment, Sugiyama Yuan is naturally still unable to figure out which force the Chinese army attacked Sujiatun is and what its strategic purpose is.  However, his keen military intuition told him.  No matter what, we must take back Sujiatun first.  After receiving the order from the division commander Sugiyama Yuan, the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Lighthouse, which had already rushed out, immediately accelerated its march towards Sujiatun under the leadership of the commander.  It only took less than two hours to arrive at Sujiatun, but the ** Division Armored Company, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately launched a head-on attack on them.  Sabli's cavalry regiment also launched a surprise attack from both wings, and Guo Zhong led two infantry battalions, the Guard Battalion and the 701st Regiment, to launch the attack along with the armored company.  Being suddenly attacked fiercely by armored troops, and also being besieged and attacked by cavalry on both wings, the 14th Infantry Regiment was unable to resist at all.  As a large number of ** Division infantry kept up, the firepower advantage gradually came into play, and the 14th Infantry Regiment was beaten back with almost no power to fight back.     after an hour.  Less than 500 people from the Japanese 14th Infantry Regiment fled in panic along the railway line back to Dengta County.  Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to stop the attack and withdraw to collect food, grenades, ammunition and other items from the Japanese corpses along the way.  The news that the 14th Infantry Regiment suffered a sudden head-on attack and was nearly wiped out quickly spread to Liaoyang.  Sugiyama Gen was so shocked that he quietly dropped the cigarette in his hand. He looked up at Chief of Staff Toshio Ogawa with a horrified face and said in disbelief: "What did you say? The 14th Infantry Regiment was almost wiped out?" "Yes, it can be done at the moment.  It was confirmed that Sujiatun had been captured by the enemy, and I guessed that the Chinese army that attacked Sujiatun was probably the same Chinese army that attacked the 9th Division before, because there was only this Chinese army on the ground in the northeast.  The Chinese Army has a large number of tanks and vehicles and an astonishing number of rapid-fire weapons, and they are the only ones accustomed to using tanks and vehicles to carry out frontal assaults on the Imperial Army, and defeat the Imperial Army with powerful assault firepower," Ogawa Toshio analyzed with a nod.  Sugiyama Moto suddenly took a breath of air, "If this is the case, then we may be in big trouble." "What do you mean, general?" Ogawa Toshio looked at Sugiyama Moto uncertainly.  "Ogawa-kun, look at the overall situation of Sujiatun on the entire battlefield between us and the enemy. Its strategic position is now beyond doubt. All the weapons, ammunition, food, medicine and other supplies needed by the five divisions of the Imperial Army north of the Hun River must pass through.  Sujiatun Station and the Hunhe River Bridge were transported over. Now the Chinese Air Force suddenly launched an air attack on the Hunhe River Railway Bridge. At the same time, their armored assault force also attacked Sujiatun. Isn't its purpose self-evident?"  Sugiyama Mobetsu pointed at the map and looked at Ogawa Toshio Road.  "The China Army has such a big appetite, do they want to eat five divisions of the Imperial Army in one go?" Toshio Ogawa took a breath of air.  He said with a shocked face.  "It's not that easy to kill the five divisions of the Imperial Army in one go. However, if we don't recapture Sujiatun and repair the Hun River Railway Bridge, the logistics supplies of our five divisions on the north bank of the Hun River will be exhausted.  Once this happens, the imperial army will no longer be able to attack Tongliao, and it will be impossible to destroy the Japanese division. Once the imperial army breaks away, it will have to find a way to cross the Hun River, Liao River and Liu River, but the China Army will not be able to attack Tongliao.  The Air Force will definitely not sit back and watch the Imperial Army successfully cross the river and retreat southward. If the First Division of the Chinese Army takes advantage of the situation to attack, the consequences will be really disastrous. We, the brave warriors of the Japanese Imperial Army, will definitely??Courageous and good at fighting, but no one can defeat hunger.  " Before Sugiyama Yuan finished speaking, another communications staff officer came in with a hurried look and a message in his hand. He put his feet together and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, the commander of the 14th Division, General Shunroku Hata, is sending an urgent message to the north of Shenyang.  General Hata Shunroku is currently commanding the troops to attack a large number of Chinese troops. Please ask our ministry to immediately clarify the situation in Sujiatun, coordinate with the engineers of the 14th Division to repair the Hun River Railway Bridge as soon as possible, and keep the imperial army's logistics supply lines open.  "Huh?" Sugiyama Yuan's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said: "It seems that the ambition of the China Army is really great this time. They actually want to accomplish all their efforts in one battle and eat up the five imperial troops north of the Hun River and Liao River in one bite."  A division? Are you afraid of bursting your stomach?" "General, let's quickly mobilize our troops to retake Sujiatun first. As long as Sujiatun is retaken, everything will still be under the control of the imperial army.  The division can continue its attack on Tongliao, and victory will definitely belong to our Imperial Japanese Army.  "Ogawa Toshio suggested. "Yo Xi, that's right. As long as Sujiatun is recaptured, the Chinese conspiracy will have no chance of success.  "Sugiyama Yuan nodded happily and immediately ordered: "Give me the order, the 24th Infantry Regiment, the 46th and 48th Infantry Regiments of the 24th Infantry Brigade, the entire 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 24th Field Artillery Regiment,  The 4th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment, the 1st Tank Regiment, and the 12th Cavalry Regiment immediately assembled towards the lighthouse and prepared to attack Sujiatun.  ” The 12th Division is a relatively special division among the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army. First of all, it is equipped with a heavy artillery brigade that other divisions do not have. You must know that such a heavy artillery brigade by 1937, the entire invasion  The Sino-Japanese Army only formed 5. In addition to the heavy artillery brigade, the 12th Division was also equipped with an anti-aircraft artillery regiment and a tank and combat vehicle regiment. Of course, historically, by 1937, the 12th Division had local left-behind troops.  It is also equipped with a 4th Air Force, which can be regarded as a land-based aviation force directly under the division. Not only that, the 12th Division also quickly formed an 18th Division with local left-behind troops after Japan invaded China in the 26th year of the Republic of China.  . The 18th Division showed strong combat effectiveness in the subsequent wars against China, whether it was the Battle of Songhu or the Battle of Nanju, as well as the subsequent British and French troops sweeping across Southeast Asia. It can be seen that the 12th Division showed strong combat effectiveness.  It is by no means worse than the 5th and 6th divisions in terms of combat effectiveness. For now, it is even slightly better, because the anti-aircraft artillery regiment and the tank and chariot regiment are not what the current 5th and 6th divisions have.  This is why Nanjiro dared to leave only one 12th Division in such a vast area south of Shenyang. You must know that Jinzhou still has an army of hundreds of thousands. But in history, this 12th Division has always been there.  Stationed in Manchuria and China, he hardly participated in any battles against China, so his reputation was far less than that of the notorious 6th and 5th Divisions. In addition, the current division commander of the 12th Division was the later Japanese Marshal.  The commander of the North China Front, Sugiyama Yuan, has a very good strategic vision. Therefore, Sujiatun must be recaptured because it involves more than 100,000 emperors.  The logistics supply of the army is related to whether the battle plan of attacking Tongliao and annihilating the Japanese division can be completed, and it is also related to the life and death of more than 100,000 imperial troops. After receiving the order, all units of the 12th Division began to assemble in the direction of the lighthouse. Such a large group.  Naturally, the news could not be concealed by the reconnaissance planes of the ** Division. After Zhang Xinghan learned the news, he immediately ordered the Air Force to dispatch some fighter planes to assist Li Du and Feng Zhanhai in fighting the Japanese troops in Shenyang, and another part of the fighter planes to assist the main force of the ** Division in holding the Qinglong Mountain defense line.  Some bombers immediately came out to carry out air strikes and bombings on the gathering 12th Division, killing as much of the 12th Division's effective forces as possible. However, since the 12th Division was assigned an anti-aircraft artillery regiment, plus some anti-aircraft machine gun units,*  The ** division's air raid did not go very smoothly. The results did not meet expectations. At the Sujiatun station, the ** division's assault force temporary headquarters saluted Zhang Xinghan with a solemn face: "Master, investigate.  It is clear that the Japanese 12th Division stationed in Liaoyang is the only active Japanese division equipped with strategic artillery units such as wing-level air defense units and heavy artillery brigades.  The total strength of the army exceeds 30,000. The one we defeated before was only an infantry regiment of the 12th Division, and we failed to damage its roots at all.  "More than 30,000 people, regiment-level airborne troops and heavy artillery brigades? Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but feel heavier after hearing this. It seems that he has encountered a tough problem this time. "Master's seat, anyway, the Hunhe River Bridge has been blown up.  The Japanese can't repair it in a short time. Should we avoid the little devil's edge first?" Shen Xingye advised tentatively. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 145: Fierce Battle at Sujiatun

    "Retreat? We haven't reached that point yet. We still have six to seven thousand men, well-equipped, and supported by the air force. How can we escape without a fight? As I said, the more ferocious the Japanese counterattack is, the more ferocious the Japanese counterattack is, which means that Sujiatun  The more important it is, the greater the necessity for us to defend this place! " "Pass my order, and the armored company will immediately move westward to the area of ??Liutiao Village. The reconnaissance company will do its best to reconnoiter the location of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and use the armored company to take the lead.  Kill the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and then lead the air force to carry out bombing! In short, I must kill the Japanese heavy artillery brigade and air defense regiment at all costs," Zhang Xinghan ordered resolutely.  "Yes, I'll do it right away!" Shen Xingye immediately took the order and left.  As soon as Shen Xingye left, Liu Jianguo, the leader of the 701st Regiment, hurriedly walked in.  "Master, the Japanese are pressing heavily on the territory, shall we?" Liu Jianguo did not finish his words.  Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Jianguo, we must hold on in Sujiatun for at least a week. After one week, the entire battlefield situation will undergo earth-shaking changes. Please trust my judgment." Liu Jianguo nodded.  He said with concern: "Since the master is determined to hold on, Jianguo will naturally go all out. However, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. In the next battle, our weapons and ammunition consumption will definitely be very high. Whether we can hold on for a week is a big question."  "It's a big problem." "You don't have to worry about this at all. If you pass on the order, officers and soldiers at all levels don't have to save ammunition. In a word, I will beat the little son of a bitch hard. As long as the ammunition is used up, I will be fine."  Make sure they don't lack bullets and cannonballs," Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  "Yes, with the words of the teacher, I can rest assured. As long as there is one person in my 701st regiment, the little devil can't even think about taking a step forward." Liu Jianguo stepped forward very happily.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, most of the scouts in the reconnaissance company immediately dispersed. Li Zhenyuan also led the armored company to quietly leave Sujiatun and head west.  On the forward position of the 701st Regiment, Niu Erzhu, who has been promoted to the commander of the third battalion of the 701st Regiment, is inspecting the front-line trenches with two guards wearing flowers on their breasts.  Wherever Niu Erzhu goes.  The officers and soldiers of the third battalion, who were reinforcing the fortifications and sorting out equipment and ammunition, stood up and saluted.  Suddenly, a guard soldier carried a Garand semi-automatic rifle and ran towards the forward position with his waist high and high.  Baldly, he jumped into the trench and came right in front of Niu Erzhu. He saluted and said, "Battle base, the Japanese forward is already less than three kilometers away from us." "Everyone is ready to fight!" Niu Erzhu immediately shouted loudly and finished.  He took a Garand from a soldier, turned on the safety, and lay down on the fortification skillfully.  The other soldiers in the trench fell down one after another.  All kinds of weapons were set up on the fortifications.  The black muzzles of the guns exuded an aura of killing invisibly.  "Woo swish woo swish" the biting cold wind kept blowing.  Niu Erzhu and the soldiers of the Third Battalion were still waiting patiently for the Japanese army to appear.  In order to prevent their fingers from being frozen on the trigger, many soldiers had to put their fingers in their mouths to exhale to drive away the cold.  After nearly half an hour of suffocating waiting, Niu Erzhu and the others finally discovered the Japanese army.  At the end of the line of sight, there was a vague figure shaking.  Niu Erzhu hurriedly raised his telescope and looked around, only to see about dozens of Japanese soldiers wearing female-colored winter military uniforms and wearing plush hats on their heads heading this way.  But before they advanced very far, the dozens of Japanese soldiers stopped.  Niu Erzhu frowned in confusion, what the hell, what is Little Japan doing again? Isn’t this the same old probing attack? He was confused.  Niu Erzhu raised the telescope again, and soon he discovered something unusual again. A tank appeared behind dozens of Japanese soldiers.  First there was one, then two, then three, and finally Niu Erzhu counted more than ten tanks.  "Damn it. These Japs are not simple. They actually have so many tanks?" Niu Erzhu was shocked.  With the arrival of the tanks, the number of Japanese infantry also increased. Soon a company platoon leader shouted in alarm: "Barracks. Look, the main force of the Japanese is coming!" Niu Erzhu raised his telescope and looked to both sides, only to see  A large number of Japanese troops, at least a regiment, poured out of the area about a thousand meters long in the center of those ten tanks.  In addition to infantry, there are also a large number of cavalry.  "Hurry up and inform the master and the group," Niu Erzhu turned his head and shouted.  A communications soldier quickly ducked and ran toward the rear along the traffic trench.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others arrived at the front trenches.  "Captain Niu, how is the situation?" Zhang Xinghan came to Niu Erzhu's side along the trench and asked.  "Master, the little devil has a lot of background this time. Look, tanks and cavalry are coming up." Niu Erzhu pointed forward.  &nbsp; Zhang Xinghan stepped on the fortifications and looked forward with his telescopes in both hands.  After watching for a while, Zhang Xinghan frowned and said: "The little devils should actually build attack positions and artillery positions, and they are expected to launch an attack soon." Liu Jianguo also put down the telescope and said: "Master, should we bring the armored company back?  It looks like there are a lot of Japanese tanks. "No, we have many ways to deal with these Xiaodou tanks." Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and visually measured the distance and said, "The Japanese tanks and cavalry should be two thousand meters away. Tell the gun."  Company, let’s do some crazy artillery first, even if it fails to hit, it will give the little devil a boost, and immediately move the artillery position after the artillery attack.” “After the artillery bombardment, the infantry must be ready for artillery defense at any time, and call the air force to come immediately.  Rush for help!" Zhang Xinghan did not forget to urge.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo, Niu Erzhu and others responded at the same time.  Immediately, Liu Jianguo said: "Master, you'd better withdraw first?" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, took a flower trap from the guard behind him, and said solemnly: "Inform the entire regiment, the battle at Sujiatun is not  The death of the enemy means our death. Zhang Xinghan will fight side by side with you. If we lose, we will live and die with all the soldiers! " "Master" Liu Jianguo wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Xinghan stopped him with his eyes. The 12th Division was coming fiercely and was not strong enough!  Don't underestimate me. The 701st regiment is outnumbered and trapped in a tight siege. If I don't inspire the morale of the officers and soldiers, this battle will be really difficult to fight.  As for staying on the front line, although there is some danger, as the king of special forces, Zhang Xinghan has a higher chance of survival than any veteran on the entire position.  As the saying goes, if you don’t have diamonds, you can’t do porcelain work. Zhang Xinghan still has this confidence.  "The master has an order, and he swears to live and die with the position!" "The master has an order, and he will fight side by side with us!" "The master has an order, and he swears to live and die with the position!" "The master has an order, and he will fight side by side with us!"  Soon, there were messengers conveying Zhang Xinghan's orders to the ears of the entire regiment one after another.  After hearing the news, the officers and soldiers of the 701st Regiment at all levels all looked solemn and determined to fight to the end.  As the commander of a division, I personally picked up the guy and went to the front.  What else can they say as soldiers? Soon the eight 70 field guns of the artillery company directly under the 701 regiment opened fire one after another, and the shells roared towards the Japanese tanks and cavalry more than 2,000 meters away.  It soon hit the ground and exploded. Although it was not accurate, it still shocked the Japanese cavalry and tank soldiers.  They all stepped back temporarily.  After five rounds of salvo fire, the artillery company stopped the bombardment according to the order and began to move its position.  And just less than ten minutes later, the Japanese artillery that had just been prepared launched a retaliatory counterattack. ??????????? Including the regiment’s positions, all came under Japanese artillery fire.  However, to Zhang Xinghan’s surprise, judging from the explosion range of the Japanese shells, it seemed that the Japanese did not use the 150mm heavy artillery of their heavy artillery brigade.  Most of them are 75 and 70 mountain guns and field guns.  Zhang Xinghan’s judgment was correct. Before Sugiyama Yuan ordered the assembly, various parts of the Japanese 12th Division were distributed in Liaoyang, Dingtao, Anshan and other places, and its 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade was still in Anshan.  Since part of the railway section from Lighthouse to Sujiatun was damaged by the ** Division's reconnaissance company, a heavy artillery regiment of the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade was still at Lighthouse Station at this time, and the main force was still in Liaoyang, waiting for the engineer regiment to repair the railway.  Woolen cloth.  Under such circumstances, the tank regiment and the cavalry regiment arrived first.  The Japanese bombardment did not last long. It was just a retaliatory bombardment without an accurate target position. If it was too many, it would be a waste of shells.  About ten minutes later, the Japanese army’s first attack began.  With the help of tanks and chariots, we also integrated the experience of other divisions in fighting with the ** division some time ago.  This time, the 12th Division did not send out a death squad to conduct a tentative attack. Instead, it dispatched a full brigade at once, supplemented by twelve tanks and chariots, to directly launch a formal attack.  At this time, more than twenty minutes had passed since Zhang Xinghan called for air force support, and several Stuka bombers were arriving at full speed.  The 12 Japanese tanks charged forward, followed by a large group of Japanese infantry. After reaching a distance of one thousand meters, the Japanese tank guns began to fire in a mighty manner.  From time to time, artillery shells fell on the defensive position of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment.  In the trenches, Zhang Xinghan was patrolling back and forth with a gun in both hands, emboldening his subordinates.  Wherever Zhang Xinghan went, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. They wished they could rush out of the trenches and engage in a bloody battle with the little Japanese.  "Master, the little devil is less than two hundred meters away from us." Niu Erzhu shouted with a somewhat anxious voice.road.  Zhang Xinghan lay down on a bunker, exchanged weapons with a soldier next to him, and used a Garand rifle to aim at a Japanese soldier about two hundred meters away who was advancing with a tank.  Sergeant.  After adjusting his breathing, Zhang Xinghan decisively pulled the trigger, and the Garand rifle in his hand suddenly made a gunshot.  A 7.62 bullet immediately spun out at high speed and hit the Japanese sergeant accurately with a pop.  At the same time that the Japanese Army Cao fell in response, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion who had been waiting for a long time opened fire one after another.  For a time, the entire third battalion position was filled with gunshots and flames.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 146: A fierce battle lies behind

    As Zhang Xinghan's absolute direct unit, the 701st Regiment's old foundation, equipment, and soldier quality brought by the former 7th Brigade of the ** are second to none in the entire ** division.  The third battalion is one of the main battalions of the regiment, and its individual weapons are all equipped with Garand rifles and a large number of fancy weapons.  In terms of machine guns, each squad has one mg34 general-purpose machine gun. In addition to the directly subordinate machine gun company of the third battalion, each company has four platoons, and each platoon has four squads. The total number of general-purpose machine guns in the three infantry companies has reached  48 quite.  With the addition of the direct machine gun company, the total number of machine guns has reached 60, and 60 general-purpose machine guns with a rate of fire of nearly 89 hundred rounds per minute opened fire at the same time.  How terrifying is the area and number of bullets fired? Not to mention that there are hundreds of Garand semi-automatic rifles that are also firing when charging with the MP18.  So as soon as the gunfire rang out, the entire front of the third battalion's position was almost enveloped by dense bullets.  The dense bullets hit the armor of the Japanese tank, making a series of tinkling sounds and sparks flying everywhere!  However, more bullets were fired in the gaps between the Japanese tanks. Once the Japanese soldiers charging with the tanks were exposed, they would be hit by bullets and fall to the ground.  "However, these Japanese soldiers are obviously elite divisions that have undergone rigorous training. Most of them are hiding behind the tanks and advancing forward with the tanks.  Although the firepower of the third battalion was fierce, it failed to cause them too many casualties, let alone stop their continuous advancement.  "Grenade, fire for me! Blow up that son of a bitch." Zhang Xinghan turned his head and shouted toward the rear.  A group of grenadiers deployed in the middle and rear of the position fired their guns one after another, and there was a muffled "Boom, Boom, Boom" sound.  Grenades flew down with flames towards the attacking Japanese crowd.  The power of the grenade's direct fire was fully exerted at this moment. In order to avoid the dense rain of bullets from the defenders, the Japanese army almost formed long and narrow attack formations behind the tanks. The grenades fell into the crowd and immediately caused heavy casualties to the Japanese.  , screaming again and again.  Suffering a loss, the Japanese's grenade fired back quickly, but due to the range of the grenade, the Japanese's grenade failed to threaten the grenadiers of the third battalion.  The reason is that the grenades equipped by the Japanese are of the Taisho 11th-year type currently in service.  The effective range is only two hundred meters, and Zhang Xinghan equipped his men with **-type grenades that are more advanced than the Taisho 11th-year-old type.  The range of this grenade is twice that of the Taisho Eleven-year Type, which is why Zhang Xinghan deployed the grenadiers behind the position.  Taking advantage of the range, the enemy was unable to fight back.  The grenadiers continued to fire, and some grenades even fell on the roof of the Japanese tank that was rumbling forward. Although the violent explosion failed to destroy the Japanese tank, it caused extensive damage to the Japanese soldiers following the tank.  The Japanese soldiers suddenly fell down in large pieces like wheat. After the grenade exploded on the roof of the tank, the shrapnel hit the steel plate and bounced off in a circular shape.  The Japanese behind the tank were unable to hide.  However, as the battle progressed, the Japanese tank guns caused considerable damage to the machine gunners and grenadiers of the third battalion.  Seeing that the Japanese tanks were about to rush within a hundred meters.  At this time, a harsh and familiar scream from the officers and soldiers of the ** Division suddenly came from the sky.  Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw five Stuka bombers coming towards this side.  "Everyone, lie down!" Zhang Xinghan shouted at the top of his lungs, and after speaking, he fell down in the trench.  The other officers and soldiers passed on word of mouth, held hands, stopped shooting and lay down in the trenches.  Five Stukas roared past at almost ultra-low altitude, not only began to drop bombs, but several airborne machine guns also opened fire.  "Dense bullets came from the air, and the Japanese hiding behind the tank suddenly had nowhere to hide.  They were all shot and wailed to the end.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" As heavy aerial bombs were dropped, a series of huge explosions began to sound.  Zhang Xinghan, who was lying in the trench, could clearly feel the ground beneath him shaking, and hot shock waves roared past the trench from time to time.  By the end of the first draft of the five Stukas, six Japanese tanks were turned into a pile of scrap metal in the flames. The Japanese soldiers charging behind the tanks were knocked down in pieces by the wanton explosion shock wave.  , many Japanese soldiers had their internal organs shattered.  Those closest to the bullet impact point were directly torn into pieces.  There are no bones left, and they are destroyed in ashes.  The five Stuka bombers quickly turned around in the air and pounced again on the nearly paralyzed Japanese offensive force.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom, boom." After the aerial bombs carried by the five generals were poured out, all twelve Japanese tanks had been bombarded to smithereens.  Most of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who attacked with the tanks were killed or injured, and the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and fire.  Japanese wounded everywhereThe soldiers howled.  The five Stukas then flapped their wings and returned to their destination and flew away.  Zhang Xinghan shook his head, tried to shake off the dirt and dust on his head, and climbed up from the trench.  Looking around, the front of the position has turned into a sea of ??fire, with thick smoke everywhere and blazing fires everywhere.  The commander of the third battalion, Niu Erzhu, also climbed up from the trench and hurried to Zhang Xinghan: "Master, are you okay?" "It's okay." Zhang Xinghan patted the soil on his body.  "Our air force is really powerful. This guy just blew all these little bastards into pieces." Niu Erzhu said proudly as he looked at the smoke billowing ahead.  Zhang Xinghan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Niu Erzhu, lit one himself, took two puffs and said: "I guess the next battle won't go so smoothly before the Japanese air defense troops arrive.  Let the brothers take the time to replenish ammunition and rescue the wounded. There will be a fierce battle ahead. " "Yes!" Niu Erzhu hurriedly took away the cigarette he had just put in his mouth and stood upright.  ……………… Liaoyang, headquarters of the Japanese 12th Division.  After answering a phone call, Chief of Staff Ogawa Toshio walked to the division commander Sugiyama Gen with a solemn expression.  "Ogawa-kun, what's wrong?" Sugiyama Gen asked, not knowing why.  "Report to the General (His Excellency the General). The 24th Infantry Haruka Squadron's telephone number, the attack squadron's attack, the China Air Force's 榘阬檆のExplosion attack, and the failure of the Battle Vehicle Haruka Squadron are all in jeopardy. (No. 24  The infantry wing received a call. Their attack failed due to bombing by China Air Force fighter planes. A squadron of the tank wing was completely destroyed." Ogawa Toshio lowered his head and reported: "The front commander hopes that our 4th Air Defense Force will rush to the front line immediately to cover it.  Attacking troops!" Sugiyama Gen heard this and asked: "Where is the 4th Air Defense Regiment now? Why hasn't it rushed to the front line yet?" "The 4th Air Defense Regiment has been operating with the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade, because the distance from the lighthouse to Sujiatun  The railway was damaged by a small force of the China Army, and the engineering troops are currently repairing it, so it is still at the lighthouse," Ogawa Toshio replied. "Order the 4th Airborne Regiment to immediately dispatch a brigade, which should be driven by cars and rush to the Sujiatun front line.  , to prevent another air attack by the China Air Force." Sugiyama Yuan said immediately. "Hai!" Dalian Lushun. Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters. "Your Excellency, there is the latest news from the Special High School Division.  The village has been captured by the China Army, and the Hun River Railway Bridge was destroyed by the China Air Force bombing. "Ishihara Wanji lowered his head and reported to Nanjiro. "Has it been investigated clearly which unit of the China Army did it?" Nanjiro looked a little expressionless.  Seriously. "Not yet, but according to the analysis of the battle report of the 12th Division, it is probably the Chinese force that attacked the 9th Division." "Sujiatun must be recaptured, in order not to affect it.  The morale of the divisions on the front line must be kept secret." Nanjiro ordered in shame. "General Sugiyama Yuan has mobilized the 12th Division to start preparing to attack Sujiatun." Ishihara.  "Telegraph to the commander of the Sugiyama Gen Division that the Imperial Air Force will be able to launch combat support in five days at most. Ask him to take back Sujiatun and open up the communication between the two sides of the Hun River," Nanjiro said.  "Hai," Ishihara Wanji suddenly put his feet together and lowered his head in response, then turned and left. In the afternoon, an anti-aircraft brigade of the Japanese 4th Air Defense Wing was ordered to leave the lighthouse station and be towed to it by car.  On the Sujiatun front line, the Japanese anti-aircraft brigade was discovered by the ** Division scouts ambushing nearby less than five kilometers away from the lighthouse. The scouts immediately reported this information to the armored company ambushing near Liutiao Village.  After the incident, Li Zhenyuan decisively decided to attack with his armored company to kill the Japanese air defense force and prevent them from reinforcing the Sujiatun battlefield. However, the lighthouse was only more than fifty miles away from Sujiatun. Because the railway was damaged, the Japanese army fired anti-aircraft fire.  The brigade had to detour along the dirt road. The distance increased by at least ten kilometers. When the Japanese anti-aircraft brigade arrived near Linshengbao Town, Li Zhenyuan's armored company caught up with them in two groups.  Attacked from the front and back, the sudden attack caught the Japanese anti-aircraft brigade off guard, and the anti-aircraft guns had no time to adjust their muzzles.  The anti-aircraft machine gun was unable to cause an effective blow to the Panzer III tank.  On the contrary, the 50mm tank gun of the Panzer III tank blasted the Japanese tractor vehicles, as well as the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns into scrap metal.  Hundreds of Japanese anti-aircraft soldiers were fighting with the vehicle-mounted machine guns of the armored company's armored vehiclesThey were all killed and injured under the fire.  The battle lasted less than twenty minutes and came to an end. The armored company suffered no casualties and completely annihilated the Japanese air defense brigade with rapid and powerful firepower.  By the time the Japanese reinforcements arrived from the lighthouse after hearing the news, Li Zhenyuan had already led his armored company to evacuate the battlefield early.  PS: Second update.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 147: Wu Chengfeng Camp

    While fierce fighting was going on in the direction of Sujiatun, in the direction of Tongliao.  The Japanese 1st, 5th and 11th divisions that arrived later also took turns launching several attacks on the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the ** division throughout the morning.  However, they were all repelled by the 702nd and 704th Regiments of the ** Division. In front of the ** Division, which had complete fortifications and the full cooperation of the Air Force.  The Japanese army’s superiority in military strength failed to exert much effect.  In addition to the air force of the ** Division, the artillery regiment of the ** Division deployed on the reverse slope of Qinglong Mountain also caused a lot of damage and threats to the Japanese.  This kind of deployment gave the Japanese a headache. The artillery groups of the three divisions could not threaten them at all.  In turn, our own artillery must always be on guard against air attacks from the ** division.  Under such circumstances, the Japanese attack had little effect other than increasing casualties.  While the Qinglongshan Battlefield and Sujiatun Battlefield were raging, a threat from the north of Tongliao approached the Huolin River.  There was a fierce battle with a battalion of the garrison guarding the Huolin River.  This army is none other than the army of Zhang Haipeng, the official Taoliao garrison envoy.  With the financial help of the Japanese, Zhang Haipeng aggressively gathered the old troops that had been dispersed by the Japanese army, and recruited bandits, thieves and traitors.  Now the number of the team has returned to more than 3,000, in order to help Zhang Haipeng's troops improve their combat effectiveness.  The Japanese Special High School also specially ordered Yoshiko Kawashima to bring him a group of Japanese veterans with combat experience to serve as instructors and instructors in the army.  At the same time, he was also a war supervisor, using bayonets and pistols to force the Zhang puppet troops who were greedy for life and fear of death to attack.  "Brothers, give me a hard beating and capture the Huolinhe Coal Mine. Each of you will be rewarded with a hundred yuan, one for each beautiful woman!" Zhang Haipeng was arrogantly holding a tortoise box and motivating his subordinates.  His troops launched several attacks, but were repulsed by well-equipped garrison regiments, suffering heavy casualties.  Since Qinglong Mountain was under heavy attack by the Japanese army, the main elite troops of the ** Division were placed on the Qinglong Mountain defense line. The cavalry regiment, armored company and other troops as well as a large number of military vehicles were taken away by Zhang Xinghan.  So at this moment, the reinforcements from the Tongliao base have not yet arrived.  The second battalion of Liu Guodong's garrison was ordered to garrison the Huolinhe Coal Mine. The commander of the second battalion, Liu Guodong, brought out an old subordinate named Wu Chengfeng from the 3rd Battalion of the 602nd Regiment of the 7th Brigade.  Wu Chengfeng is twenty-six years old and is still single.  With a bad temper, he used to be a thorn in the seventh brigade of the Communist Party of China. Gambling and prostitution were almost all things he didn't dare to do. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But because this boy was ferocious by nature, brave in combat, and quite cunning like a man in the market, his old officer Liu Guodong turned a blind eye.  As Zhang Xinghan's troops gradually became colder, Wu Chengfeng gradually rose from the initial position of a small squad leader to the position of battalion commander.  However, since the garrison does not have a formal designation, Wu Chengfeng's military rank is still captain.  The captain and battalion commander are also weird.  Although the military rank has not changed.  But Wu Chengfeng has fully adapted to the position of battalion commander. In order to prevent him from causing trouble, Liu Guodong directly transferred his second battalion to Huolinhe Coal Mine to guard the border.  Wu Chengfeng, who has been dealing with sand and coal every day in Huolin River for a long time, has long been tired of it.  If he hadn’t known about the vigorous and resolute methods of his teacher Zhang Xinghan, his old boss Liu Guodong might not be able to protect himself once he made a mistake.  He had already led his men out to do something bad.  When Wu Chengfeng was bored and his balls ached, Zhang Haipeng and his troops called.  Having nothing to say, Battalion Commander Wu was so excited that he immediately commanded the troops to fight.  Although Wu Chengfeng was a little thorny, his mind was not stupid. He did not rush to confront Zhang Haipeng head-on. Instead, he relied on the existing fortifications to start an offensive and defensive battle with Zhang Haipeng.  In the forward trench of the Second Battalion.  Wu Chengfeng had a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and was holding a general-purpose machine gun and pouring bullets at the attacking puppet army.  "Come on! You devils, Grandpa Cheng Feng treats you to iron bullets!" The tactical quality of these miscellaneous puppet troops temporarily recruited by Zhang Haipeng is very different from the well-trained Japanese army.  During the attack, the skirmisher line charged almost man-to-man, and was knocked down in pieces by the rapid-fire firepower of Wu Chengfeng and the officers and soldiers of the second battalion.  In addition to the shortcomings in tactics, the weapons and equipment under Zhang Haipeng are also extremely backward. They are basically old-fashioned Shui Lianzhu and some imitation Japanese-style 79 rifles produced by Shenyang Arsenal.  "Compared with the Wu Chengfeng Battalion, which is all equipped with American rifles and German machine guns, this kind of equipment is far different.  Even though Wu Chengfeng’s second battalion had just formed the army, its combat effectiveness could not compare with the elites of the other four regiments.  But to deal with Zhang Haipeng’s rabble, it’s stillMore than enough.  What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers? Under the leadership of Wu Chengfeng, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion fired desperately. The intensive firepower quickly pushed back Zhang Haipeng's attacking troops.  The rear of the puppet army.  Seeing that his troops' attack failed again, Zhang Haipeng couldn't help but sigh and said angrily: "Damn it, didn't the Japanese intelligence say that those guarding the Huolin River were just recruits of the Japanese Army? How could they not have enough firepower?  Are you so fierce?" "Commander, if we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to capture the Huolin River even if we wipe out all our troops," the adjutant next to him said with some fear.  The adjutant’s words reminded Zhang Haipeng, but when he thought of the splendid future that Yoshiko Kawashima had painted for himself, he fell into a dilemma.  "With the hundreds of thousands of troops assembled by the Japanese, this bastard Zhang Xinghan will definitely be finished this time. If we don't work harder at this juncture, will the Japanese still give us good things to eat in the future?" Zhang Haipeng seemed to be talking to the adjutant.  He said to himself.  The adjutant rolled his eyes and said: "Commander, how about we bypass the Huolin River and march directly to the hinterland of Tongliao? Anyway, the main force of the ** division is now being restrained by the Japanese. Maybe we can catch them by surprise and achieve great success.  "Zhang Haipeng was a little hesitant and started smoking his dry cigarette. The last time he was almost beaten by the Japanese army and the entire army was annihilated is still vivid in his mind.  Even he himself was almost captured by the army.  It would be okay to let him lead his troops to provide support on the periphery and capture one or two towns.  If you ask him to lead his troops deep into the hinterland of the army, he really doesn't have the guts now.  .  Just when Zhang Haipeng was hesitant, a Japanese military instructor left by Yoshiko Kawashima came over and saluted Zhang Haipeng: "Zhang Sang, my boss asked me to inform you that according to the latest news obtained by the imperial army, the Tongliao ***  The armored troops and cavalry units of the division have probably been transferred out of Tongliao. They are currently in a weak state in the hinterland. She asked me to tell you that if the situation is delayed at Huolin River, you can consider leading the troops to bypass Huolin.  He, march directly to Tongliao to cope with the frontal attack of the main force of the imperial army. After this is accomplished, Zhang Sang will be the number one hero, and the imperial army will reward you greatly. " "Really or not?" Zhang Haipeng's eyes lit up.  "The information provided by my boss is usually correct, because it affects whether the imperial army can successfully capture Tongliao and eliminate Zhang Xinghan's army." said the Japanese instructor.  I pondered for a long time.  Zhang Haipeng put away the dry cigarette, stood up and said seductively: "Damn it. I have done it. Whether I succeed or fail depends on this time." On the surface, he was expressing his determination to be loyal to the imperial army. In fact, secretly, this old guy Zhang Haipeng had already  Have weighed the pros and cons.  As long as the armored troops and cavalry of the ** division are not there, it means failure, and he is sure to evacuate quickly.  You must know that he still has a considerable number of cavalry in his hands. If he can't defeat them, can he still escape? Inside the headquarters of the Second Battalion of the Garrison Regiment.  After repelling another attack by the puppet army, Wu Chengfeng led the guards back to the camp headquarters.  The communications soldier who stayed behind at the battalion headquarters stood up and greeted him: "The camp seat. The regiment seat and the division chief of staff called. They asked us to hold on to the Zolin River no matter what. The reinforcements are already on the way and will arrive at the latest at night."  "Call back to the regiment and division headquarters. As long as I, Wu Chengfeng, are here, these Japs can't even think of capturing the Huolin River." Wu Chengfeng said, taking a cup of hot water from an orderly.  His words trailed off.  A soldier rushed in from outside and saluted: "Barracks, those Japs on the opposite side seem to be about to withdraw." "Huh?" Wu Chengfeng heard this and pushed the tea cup into the hands of the orderly, then turned around and said: "Let's go  "Let's take a look." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the camp.  He led the guards to the front trench with their backs bent, and a company commander who was staring at the front came up to him and said: "Barracks, these Japanese Japs are retreating. I don't know what their agenda is." Wu Chengfeng held up the telescope and looked at it.  Sure enough, we saw the puppet troops retreating in batches in a well-prepared manner.  Putting down the telescope, Wu Chengfeng said: "Send more scouts to find out the movements of these Japs and see what they are up to." "Yes!" ……………………………… Liaoyang,  12th Division Headquarters.  Sugiyama Motomasa watched Ogawa Toshio and a group of combat staff conduct war games on the sand table.  Suddenly, a communications lieutenant came in with a panic look. He suddenly put his feet down and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, it's not good. The 1st Battalion of the 4th Air Defense Wing was ambushed by a Chinese armored force near Linshengbao Town.  All anti-aircraft weapons were destroyed, and more than 500 Imperial Army anti-aircraft soldiers were shattered! " "What?" Sugiyama Gen was shocked when he heard this, and Ogawa Toshio and other combat staff also stopped the war game.  "General, it seems that the Chinese army is very cunning, we must be careful and cautious in dealing with it." Xiao ?Toshio vs. Sugiyama Motochi.  "Order the 4th Tank and Combat Vehicle Regiment to return to the lighthouse immediately and escort the air defense troops to the front line." Sugiyama Yuan ordered immediately and decisively.  "Hai." The Japanese lieutenant suddenly lowered his head and followed the order.  After watching the communications lieutenant leave, Sugiyama Moto waved to Ogawa Toshio and others: "Continue." ps: Thank you brother Xuanyuan Hama for the generous reward. I took a look at my brother's personal space. It seems that the Anti-Japanese War Tiger Ben is your only reward.  Qiu Feng is so honored to read this book, and I sincerely thank you!  !  !

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 148: Annihilation of Zhang Haipeng’s troops

    The soldiers sent by Wu Chengfeng quickly detected Zhang Haipeng's true movements and quickly reported this information to Wu Chengfeng.   After receiving the news, Wu Chengfeng immediately summoned several company and platoon leaders to discuss countermeasures.  "Battalion, the top priority is that we should report this situation to the regiment and division headquarters as soon as possible, so that they can prepare in advance." After learning about the situation, the first company commander was the first to speak.  "How about we send troops to pursue Zhang Haipeng's idiotic attack? It would be best if the regiment leader and we attack from both sides and annihilate this rabble." The second company commander said tentatively.  "No, what if this is just a ploy by the Japs to divert the tiger away from the mountain? The Huolinhe Coal Mine is extremely important. The order given to us by the division headquarters and the regiment is to strictly guard this place and make no mistakes. Otherwise, we will be waiting to be captured.  Let's handle it according to military law." The third company commander hurriedly stopped him.  "Okay, stop fucking making such a fuss, I know better than you how important the Huolin River is." Wu Chengfeng scolded impatiently.  "Of course he knows how important Huolin River is, not only the coal mine here, but mainly the life safety of more than 3,000 mine workers here. This must not be lost, otherwise even Wu Chengfeng's ten heads would not be enough to cut off.  "But, camp, are we just going to sit back and watch Zhang Haipeng, the old grandson, lead his people to attack our base?" the second company commander said unwillingly.  Wu Chengfeng thought for a long time and said to several subordinates: "Second Company Commander, go to the mine and find Director Xie and ask him to bring us a dozen or twenty cars, saying that we are in urgent need." "Yes.  "!  The second company commander immediately took the order and left.  "Bingzuo, what do you want to do?" The third company commander asked in confusion.  "What are you doing? I'm going after Zhang Haipeng, that bastard. I can't just let him go so easily. Otherwise, where's my honor? How can I fight against those old guys from the 7th Brigade in the future?"  In front of the brothers?" Wu Chengfeng said angrily.  "But, we only have one camp. There are more than 600 people. It's barely enough to hold on. I'm afraid we don't have enough troops to actively pursue it? You must know that the two Japanese soldiers have as many as two to three thousand, and there are many cavalry.  ." The third company commander said with some worry and a little want to laugh.  Why does this have to do with honor?  "I know, if I weren't afraid of the Japanese cavalry, would I still have to ask Director Xie to borrow a car? As for the other rabble, I'm not afraid of three thousand people." Wu Chengfeng said.  Suddenly turned his head and ordered to the communications soldier: "Immediately send electricity to the regiment, and tell them that the puppet army Zhang Haipeng's troops have bypassed the Huolin River and invaded the hinterland of our base. Please adjust the deployment immediately. Prepare to meet the enemy, Wu Chengfeng should lead the troops  Cut off the retreat of the puppet troops and try to eliminate them all forever." "Yes" the signal soldier responded quickly.  He quickly took the order and left.  Watching the communications soldiers leave, Wu Chengfeng said to the first and third company commanders: "I will only take the second company and the battalion guard platoon, but I will bring more machine guns and submachine guns. You two companies must fully cooperate and allocate the machine guns reasonably."  And the machine gunner." "Yes!" The two company commanders stood up at the same time.  About half an hour later, twenty military trucks transferred from Xie Wu and twenty miner drivers arrived at the Second Battalion position.  The garrison regiment is a strengthened regiment, and Wu Chengfeng's battalion has more people than the four main regiments.  There were more than six hundred people.  There are three infantry companies and one machine gun company. The machine gun company has two machine gun platoons and two artillery platoons. Each platoon has two or three 70mm field guns or 60mm mortars.  There are 48 general-purpose machine guns in one or three companies of the whole battalion, plus two machine gun platoons, there are a total of 70 general-purpose machine guns.  Wu Chengfeng mobilized 50 general-purpose machine guns and assigned them a sufficient number of machine gunners. Together with the second company and guard platoon and 20 miner drivers, a total of 270 people formed a motorized mobile force.  Twenty military trucks, each equipped with an average of two to three general-purpose machine guns and more than a dozen infantrymen.  The Dodge Ten-Wheel Truck has a load capacity of seven tons. If fully loaded, it can hold twenty fully armed soldiers.  Wu Chengfeng’s current equipment can provide soldiers with a wider space for shooting.  After arranging the next two company commanders, Wu Chengfeng took this temporarily formed motorized mobile force and set off towards the Tongliao base area.  Although Zhang Haipeng still had hundreds of cavalry, most of them were infantry, so the marching speed was seriously slowed down.  Within an hour and a half, Wu Chengfeng's motorized mobile unit caught up with them.  "Barracks, look, there's Zhang Haipeng's little devil in front of you." On the leading military truck, a soldier suddenly pointed forward.  Wu Chengfeng raised his telescope and saw many puppet troops marching forward in chaotic formation.??But judging from their reactions, it is obvious that they have discovered their side.  Wu Chengfeng personally mounted a general-purpose machine gun on the roof of the cab, and said loudly: "Go at full speed, beat these sons of bitches hard, and stab Zhang Haipeng in his asshole!" Twenty cars  The cars immediately dispersed, almost forming a line formation and quickly rushed towards the puppet soldiers. All fifty machine guns were set up.  The infantrymen also pulled the bolts of their guns and pointed their guns forward.  Zhang Haipeng was leading the troops to march in front. At this time, a subordinate on horseback chased him up from behind and said in a loud voice: "Commander, Commander! Oh no, there are people from the Army Division catching up behind us. Everyone is here."  "It's a truck!" "What? They dare to catch up?" Zhang Haipeng was shocked and immediately took out the turtle box and said loudly: "Brothers, get ready to fight. If you kill an Army soldier, you will be rewarded with ten yuan. If you kill an officer, you will be rewarded with one yuan."  Hundreds!" Hundreds of his cavalry took the lead in drawing their sabers, while the other puppet troops started to turn around with their guns in some confusion, and then dispersed in confusion.  "Come on! Surround them and kill all these bastards!" Zhang Haipeng saw that the pursuing military divisions only had a dozen or twenty military trucks, and there were only a few people on them. He suddenly became energetic and hit the sky several times.  Trigger, "bang bang bang" after several gunshots.  The hundreds of cavalrymen around him immediately rushed towards Wu Chengfeng's troops, shouting and waving their swords.  Other puppet infantrymen also followed the cavalry with guns in hand, rushing in a chaotic manner.  "You devils, come on, let's have a taste of your Grandpa Chengfeng's power!" Wu Chengfeng was not afraid at all, but was extremely excited. He held a general machine gun and fired fiercely.  Other machine gunners and riflemen also opened fire, and dense bullets suddenly roared towards Zhang Haipeng's cavalry several hundred meters away.  “Puff, puff, puff…” The cavalrymen who were charging with their swords were suddenly shot and fell from their horses in droves.  Some war horses were also sprayed with blood by dense general-purpose machine gun rounds.  With a cry, they all fell to death.  The cavalry behind them were unable to dodge, trampling on each other and the continuous firepower of Wu Chengfeng and his men, and soon most of them were killed or injured.  The puppet cavalrymen who were lucky enough to survive were horrified and turned their horses to try to escape.  But it was too late.  Wu Chengfeng's military truck drove over quickly, and fifty general-purpose machine guns and hundreds of Garand rifles created a dense crossfire.  The dense bullets quickly wiped out the remaining puppet cavalry, and the puppet infantry who had just followed the cavalry and rushed up also suffered a head-on attack.  Although there are many of them, they have now become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.  The powerful firepower of fifty general-purpose machine guns made the puppet soldiers unable to fight back at all. The key was that they were still in the car, condescending.  Even more advantage.  Unable to withstand the huge casualties and psychological pressure, the puppet army quickly collapsed, no matter how Zhang Haipeng and his Japanese instructors tried to stop them.  Even shoot.  It was impossible to prevent the defeat of the puppet troops.  “Compared with their supervising killing, Wu Chengfeng’s powerful machine gun firepower and the piercing sound of high-speed chainsaws were obviously more intimidating, making the puppet soldiers frightened and terrified.  No one wants to be beaten to a bloody sieve alive by the dense bullets, and no one wants to be directly crushed into a puddle of minced meat by the wheels of those military trucks.  In this way, Zhang Haipeng's more than 2,000 people were completely defeated by Wu Chengfeng's mobile force of less than 300 people.  There is no suspense about the next battle.  When Liu Guodong personally led the regiment's cavalry company and part of the infantry to come for reinforcements, Wu Chengfeng had almost wiped out Zhang Haipeng's troops and captured Zhang Haipeng and his adjutants.  "Commander, what do you think we should do with this old thing?" Wu Chengfeng held a captured saber in his hand, put it on the neck of the ashen-faced Zhang Haipeng, and said to Liu Guodong, who was riding over on a war horse.  Liu Guodong was so happy that he got off his horse and gave Wu Chengfeng a blow on the chest. He laughed and scolded: "Madman Wu, you can do it. You have done a great job this time. As for this old traitor, he has a special status. He will be escorted back to the base first and wait for the division."  Come back and deal with it later!" "Hey, okay." Wu Chengfeng was overjoyed and nodded immediately.  "Brothers, clean the battlefield quickly and collect the prisoners!" Liu Guodong turned his head and ordered loudly.  "Um, group leader, you see I have made a great contribution this time, can you give me a half-day holiday?" Wu Chengfeng pulled Liu Guodong aside and whispered with a smile.  Liu Guodong asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What's the matter with you?" Wu Chengfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, and with a rare blush on his face he said with a silly smile: "Well, we have been deploying defenses against Huolinhe for some time, many days  There’s nothing like that anymore, you know the group membersYes, after so many days, Lao Wu, I was almost exhausted.  " When Liu Guodong heard this, he was startled at first. He looked at Wu Chengfeng's evil smile, and suddenly realized it. He was angry and funny and said angrily: "Fuck you, besides women, you kid can do anything else all day long.  Anything else?  Now that the war is urgent, troops at all levels are extremely busy. Your mother is guarding the Huolin River for me. If anything goes wrong, my head will have to be moved. Do you know?  " When Wu Chengfeng heard this, he immediately said with a mournful face: "Members of the group, please don't stand and talk without hurting your back. Tongliao has Zuixianglou that was moved from Shenyang. Of course you are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry he is" "You damn thing are still there.  Say Do you believe that I will kill you?  !  Liu Guodong felt a little guilty after being told by Wu Chengfeng, and he immediately pretended to draw his gun. "Hey, goodbye, my humble position is just a joke with the old officer. It's a joke. I will lead the team back right now to ensure that there will be no mistakes in Huolinhe!"  "Wu Chengfeng quickly waved his hands and tried to escape. Liu Guodong then smiled and cursed: "That's pretty much it. Go ahead. After this battle is over, I will invite you to Zuixiang Tower, provided that we are all still alive by then.  " "You must keep your word!"  "    "get out!  " "Take care, everyone!  " "Well, take care!  ” ……………………………………………………… ps: Last night, I discussed life with several brothers, including Habitual Wearing Flower Underwear and Sui Feng in the Past, until one or two in the morning.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 149: Night Attack on the Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade

    The former enemy headquarters of the 24th Brigade of the Japanese 2nd Division in Sujiatun.  The Chief of Staff of the 24th Brigade, Colonel Goro Gosho, bowed his head and reported the military situation to the Commander of the 24th Brigade, Major General Yutaro Tenghei: "Your Majesty, the Brigade Commander, the 2nd and 4th Wing Headquarters of the 4th Air Defense Wing have all arrived and been deployed.  "It's time to attack." "Ryo (very good)" Teng Ping Yutaro nodded happily and said, "When will the heavy artillery brigade arrive?" "It is expected to be at noon tomorrow at the earliest."  "At noon tomorrow, let's not wait any longer. With the assistance of the Air Defense Regiment, we no longer have to fear the Chinese air raids." After speaking, Yutaro Tengping paused, stood up and said solemnly: "Pass my order, the 48th Regiment  Immediately take over the 24th Infantry Regiment and launch an attack on Sujiatun!" "Hai!" Oxford Wulang suddenly lowered his head and responded.  At Sujiatun Station, Zhang Xinghan has returned to the division headquarters. Through his first personal visit to the front line, his goal of boosting morale has been achieved.  As the supreme commander and soul of the ** division, of course he cannot always stay in the frontline trenches and act as the lead soldier.  There are still very important things waiting for him to make overall decisions.  "Master, please call me urgently." A communications soldier suddenly stood up and said.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan took the telegram in his hand and read it quickly. He couldn't help but smile: "This Wu Chengfeng is not bad. He actually knows how to use mechanized warfare. Call the chief of staff and ask him to encourage him first."  Crazy Wu, I will formally reward him after this battle!" "Yes!" The communications soldier stood up at attention.  At this time, the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong came in and saluted: "Master, Li Zhenyuan just sent someone to inform that another Japanese air defense regiment, under the cover of its main infantry force, has arrived at Sujiatun. There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.  It was too big, and after the first attack, the Japanese air defense forces had obviously increased their vigilance. The armored company had no chance to make a move, so they let it pass. "One Japanese air defense regiment killed three brigades, and the armored company killed another one."  Leave them behind to assist the heavy artillery brigade in air defense. Those who can be transferred can support a brigade. A mere air defense brigade will not pose much of a threat to our air force.  By the way, have you figured out the specific location of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Not yet, the reconnaissance company is doing its best to detect, but it should be on the railway line near the lighthouse. After all, it is extremely troublesome for the heavy artillery brigade to drag the devil's car away from the railway.  The Japanese had implemented martial law around the railway, so reconnaissance was a bit difficult.  " "Tell Yizhi that we must find out the specific location of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade as soon as possible and guide the air force to carry out precise bombing.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Yes, I'll go right away.  "Guo Zhong saluted and left. "In the evening, after careful preparations, the 48th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 24th Brigade once again mobilized ten tanks and a large number of infantry to launch a fierce attack on the 701st Regiment of the Japanese Division.  As darkness was approaching, the 701st Regiment was unable to receive air force reinforcements. This defensive battle was extremely fierce. The Japanese tanks posed a great threat. When the battle was fierce, some of the 701st Regiment's death-defying soldiers even used Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades to jump out of the trenches and rush towards the Japanese tanks.  In order to avoid infantry casualties, Zhang Xinghan urgently mobilized Li Zhen Armored Company to return reinforcements. Under the assault of the armored company, he defeated the Japanese attack and destroyed several Japanese tanks, killing hundreds of enemies in order to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the opportunity.  Crossing the river and attacking from both sides, Zhang Xinghan ordered Sabli to lead the cavalry regiment to patrol along the east bank of the Hun River. At nine o'clock that night, Tengping Yongtaro, who was unwilling to fail, mobilized troops to attack again. When the fierce battle was fierce, Tengping Yongtaro even went to the front line to wave his command sword to encourage his men.  They charged. The artillerymen on both sides were also firing at each other with all their strength. The whole Sujiatun was rumbling with gunfire. In the dark night, the flames and the crisscrossing flames in the dense night sky were particularly dazzling. The 701 regiment relied on its absolute firepower advantage.  Killing the Japanese who were charging in small groups, Zhang Xinghan ordered Li Zhenyuan to command the armored company to take the opportunity to go back to the rear of the Japanese 24th Brigade and kill the joint artillery of the two regiments of the 24th Brigade.  The attack of the 24th Brigade lost the cover of artillery fire and failed again. In the temporary headquarters of the 2k Regiment, Teng Ping Yutaro was standing up straight and answering the phone, enjoying the angry roar from the division commander Sugiyama Moto.  ,asshole!  "Sugiyama's vitality on the other end of the phone is broken. He has lost the artillery group, which means that the attack cannot continue. Night is now the most precious time of the imperial army. If it is wasted like this, how can Sugiyama Yuan not be angry. " On the other end of the phone, Teng Pingyong nodded repeatedly.  : “Hai, hai!  " "Please ask the division commander to send heavy artillery as soon as possibleThe brigade rushed to the front line. As long as the heavy artillery brigade arrived, we could easily destroy the Chinese defense lines and completely encircle and annihilate them.  "After being scolded, Teng Pingyong began to plead. "Mobilize all air defense forces to prepare for air attacks by the China Air Force. We must ensure the safety of the heavy artillery brigade no matter what!"  Do you understand?  "Sugiyama Yuan yelled in an unpleasant tone. "Hai, I understand the humble position.  " "The railway has been repaired and the heavy artillery brigade will arrive in two hours at the latest. You must be prepared to respond.  "Hai, thank you very much for the support of the division commander. I will definitely live up to my expectations this time. I will definitely capture Sujiatun and annihilate all the enemies in front of me. No one will slip through the net."  "Teng Ping Yong Taro suddenly lowered his head in joy. The malaise caused by the failure of the attack just now disappeared. With the heavy artillery brigade, the end of the Chinese people on the opposite side has come, and Teng Ping Yong is extremely proud. Sujiatun Station, a reconnaissance officer  The soldiers arrived in a hurry and reported to Zhang Xinghan: Commander, the Japanese have repaired the railway, and a large number of trains have started from the direction of the lighthouse. They are patrolling the railway line with armored trains and infantry. We cannot cause further damage. Company Commander Shen has given special instructions.  I'm here to report, please think of a solution quickly." "Master, it's still early before dawn. We must not let the Japs' heavy artillery brigade arrive smoothly, otherwise they will be able to attack me in less than three hours.  If the 7oq regiment's position is shelled, the consequences will be disastrous." Liu Jianguo was a little anxious after hearing this.  Zhang Xinghan said clearly, he knew better than anyone how big a threat the Japanese heavy artillery brigade was. All large-caliber heavy artillery fired a projectile weighing dozens of kilograms.  The explosion’s damage radius reaches tens of meters. It is no exaggeration to say that if it’s a coincidence, one shot can kill a platoon.  Its destructive power is extremely shocking, not to mention the non-reinforced cement permanent fortifications in Sujiatun, even permanent fortifications made of reinforced cement.  If you are hit by this heavy artillery accurately, there will only be one end: wiped out in ashes.  Therefore, it must be destroyed no matter what, or delay the Japanese heavy artillery brigade from reaching the front line. ?????????????????? Otherwise, if Sujiatun cannot be defended, all 6,000 infantry and cavalry of our own will have to be accounted for here.  Of course, you can also lead your troops to retreat now.  “In that case, all previous efforts will be in vain. Obviously, the situation is not bad yet, and Zhang Xinghan will never give up easily.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan made up his mind and said: "Give me the order, the armored company and the guard battalion will all assemble and follow me around Liutiaogou to attack the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be allowed to reach the Su family before dawn.  "Tun." "Master, the Japanese heavy artillery brigade is so heavy. They will definitely be heavily guarded. Isn't this too risky?" Liu Jianguo said with a worried look.  "No matter how threatening it is, we must give it a try, otherwise we will have to retreat." Zhang Xinghan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sujiatun will be left to you. Before dawn, I tried my best to stop the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.  The regiment joins the battle, but you must always be vigilant to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of the situation. "Please rest assured, everyone is in position!"  "Liu Jianguo stood up and said solemnly. "About ten minutes later, in order to cover Zhang Xinghan's actions, Liu Jianguo ordered the frontline troops to launch a symbolic night attack on the Japanese, attracting the attention of the Japanese army. Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion and armored company to take the opportunity.  After quietly leaving Sujiatun, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to meet up with the reconnaissance company fifteen kilometers away from Sujiatun. “Yizhi, how is the situation?  "Seeing Shen Xingye, Zhang Xinghan asked. "The Japanese train is pulling heavy artillery, and it may have to guard against our night attack, so it is very full. This thing looks really heavy.  "Shen Xingye said. "What is the deployment of the Japanese troops?  "Zhang Xinghan asked again. "There are armed armored trains at both ends of the train. Each two carriages are also equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. The muzzles of the guns are leveled. There are also a large number of infantry along the railway to guard and guard the whole journey. If you want to  A strong attack is too difficult.  Shen Xingye replied with a worried look. "It seems that the Japanese have stolen a lot from us and know how to use anti-aircraft weapons to attack ground targets."  "Zhang Xinghan smiled bitterly. Shen Xingye nodded silently. "Master, what should we do?  "Guo Zhong asked. "Bring the map.  " Zhang Xinghan waved his hand. Soon an orderly brought the map over and handed it a flashlight. With the light of the flashlight, Zhang Xinghan looked at the map, pointed at the railway line and said: "At the speed of the Japanese, one hour at the latest  They can get to Sujiatun, so weYou must take action immediately, otherwise it will be too late.  " "Master, what do you think we should do?  "Shen Xingye said. "Divide the troops.  " "Divide the troops?  " "Yes, Yizhi, I will equip you with two armored vehicles. You take the reconnaissance company to the front of the Japanese train to pretend to attack and destroy the railway, attracting the Japanese infantry and armored trains as much as possible, and then I command the armored company to move towards  The Japanese launched an assault, trying to destroy it. Even if they could not completely destroy it, they would paralyze it. They would wait until daybreak before sending in the air force to completely destroy it.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "PS Yesterday, a friend went out to work and returned to his hometown. We drank together. There was no coding at night. Today is the tenth update to make up for it. I won't talk about it anymore. Let's code first. This is the first update.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 150: Tank Battle

    "Yes!" Shen Xingye stood at attention happily and immediately took the order and left.  “About a few minutes later, there was a violent explosion and intensive gunshots several miles away from where Zhang Xinghan and the others were lurking.  A large number of Japanese troops were alarmed by the sound and ran forward along the railway. Several armed armored trains also accelerated and rumbled forward.  What the Japanese fear most now is that the railways will be damaged, so as soon as the guns are fired, they almost without hesitation dispatch a large number of troops and rush towards the firing point.  Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Xinghan immediately jumped on top of an armored vehicle, personally operated a large-caliber machine gun, and issued the order to attack.  Thirty-eight tanks and armored vehicles immediately started up and roared towards the railway line.  Hundreds of officers and soldiers from the guard camp followed closely.  When the distance was close to one thousand meters, the tank guns fired one after another, and high-explosive bombs flew towards the Japanese train that had stopped moving.  "Boom, boom, boom" The shells exploded one after another, and dazzling flames suddenly appeared. Many Japanese artillerymen on the train were blown down.  Being suddenly attacked, the attention of the Japanese guards on the train, especially those operating anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, was immediately attracted.  ??quickly started to fight back with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.  Dense, high-speed anti-aircraft machine gun shells and anti-aircraft artillery shells suddenly poured down like rain.  Fortunately, most of the bullet rain was blocked by the strong armor of the Panzer III tank.  During this period, the Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were basically modified 13.2mm large-caliber machine guns. The so-called anti-aircraft guns were a large number of 20mm machine guns.  Other large-caliber Taisho 11th-year-old 75mm anti-aircraft guns.  They are very few in number and far less powerful than the German 88mm anti-aircraft guns.  It is even worse than the four-type 75mm anti-aircraft gun developed by the Japanese during World War II.  The backwardness and lack of air defense weapons of the Japanese Army is actually a normal phenomenon.  You must know that the Japanese had no opponents at all in East Asia or even the entire Asian region at this time.  The target of their invasion, China, is an agricultural country with a weak and vulnerable air force. The Japanese can seize air supremacy simply by relying on their advanced air force and turn China's airspace into their flight training ground.  Before the war begins.  Who could have imagined that the situation in Northeast China would develop into what it is now?  Who would have thought that Zhang Xinghan would emerge from the sky and possess a powerful air force that would scare the Japanese?  Historically, the Japanese have vigorously researched and developed anti-aircraft weapons. This was also in order to cope with the increasingly serious air threat from the US military after their defeat in the Pacific battlefield.  So today in the 1930s, in a hurry, the Japanese army did not have many available anti-aircraft weapons.  With the air defense weapons currently in service in their army, they want to deal with the Zero fighter, which is at least ten years more advanced than this era.  There are really a lot of difficulties.  However, although the performance of these air defense weapons is lagging behind, their power when used to attack ground targets cannot be underestimated.  As the distance gets closer.  Two armored vehicles of the armored company have been destroyed by Japanese anti-aircraft guns.  The defensive armor of the armored vehicle cannot be compared with that of the Panzer III tank. It can only withstand Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun fire. It cannot withstand the more powerful anti-aircraft gun at all.  Seeing that the armored troops he regarded as his treasures suffered casualties, Zhang Xinghan quickly ordered the No. 3 tank group to rush forward quickly and use full firepower to suppress the Japanese anti-aircraft guns.  At the same time, Guo Zhong was ordered to lead the guard battalion to follow up quickly and approach the Japanese train carrying heavy artillery in an attempt to blast and destroy it.  Under the fierce firepower of twenty Panzer III tanks and a dozen armored vehicles, several Japanese anti-aircraft guns misfired one after another.  The infantrymen took advantage of the situation and advanced.  The machine gunners opened fire to cover with all their strength, and the infantry began to throw a large number of bomb bags down the railway tracks.  At this time, a large number of Japanese troops had begun to return for reinforcements. Zhang Xinghan ordered the armored company to attack. The machine guns on more than a dozen armored vehicles opened fire violently, knocking down the Japanese infantry who came for reinforcements.  The No. 3 tanks fired one after another, and the shells fell into the crowd of Japanese.  There was a violent explosion, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese soldiers.  At this moment, a deafening train whistle sounded, and several armored trains fell back.  The snow-white light shone like a laser.  Immediately afterwards there was a huge muffled sound, and a dazzling flame rose into the sky from the Japanese armored train.  Flying across the night sky towards the armored company's tank group at extremely fast speeds.  "Boom" There was a loud noise, and a huge red light suddenly appeared. Zhang Xinghan saw in horror that two of his own No. 3 tanks were instantly destroyed.  One of them was even lifted by a huge shock waveTurned over.  "Master, this kid's heavy artillery!" Li Zhenyuan, commander of the armored company, shouted.  Zhang Xinghan was so horrified that he quickly turned around and shouted: "Zhongzi, that's enough, retreat quickly!" Zhang Xinghan knew that this was a large-caliber heavy artillery equipped on the Japanese armored train.  He has never seen introductions about armored trains in later military forums. It is said that the artillery caliber on armored trains has a maximum caliber of more than 200 mm.  This caliber is larger than the 150mm heavy howitzer of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, and it is definitely not something that the current Panzer III tanks of the armored company can withstand.  With a large caliber of more than 200 mm, let alone the No. 3 tank, even the later Tiger tanks could not withstand bombardment at such a close range.  After Guo Zhong led the infantry to retreat, Zhang Xinghan directed the tanks of the armored company to fire back fire while directing the retreat.  Fortunately, although the Japanese's large-caliber heavy artillery is powerful, its rate of fire is slow, with only one shot taking several minutes.  Coupled with the fierce bombardment of the tank guns of the ** Division's armored company, the Japanese soldiers operating the heavy artillery suffered heavy casualties and their rate of fire was even slower.  When the armored company withdrew several hundred meters away, the No. 3 tank driven by Li Zhenyuan personally aimed its gun barrel at the rails that had been stuffed with a large number of bomb bags and cluster grenades.  "Boom" There was a muffled sound, and a high-explosive bomb roared out, accurately hitting the railway track full of gunfire.  The explosion of hundreds of bomb bags and cluster grenades detonated the heavy artillery shells on the Japanese train.  There was a violent explosion immediately, and tons of shells exploded one after another.  The flames soared into the sky dozens of meters high.  Train tracks and heavy artillery parts were scattered everywhere in the explosion.  The huge explosion resounded through the sky and could be clearly heard for dozens of miles away.  On the way to retreat, Zhang Xinghan leaned on a vehicle-mounted machine gun and lit a cigarette. Looking at the huge flames rising into the sky, a huge stone fell in his heart.  Without the heavy artillery brigade, the 12th Division alone wanted to capture Sujiatun, which was a wishful thinking.  A few minutes later, the headquarters of the Japanese 24th Brigade in Sujiatun.  Teng Pingyong was alarmed by the huge explosion in the distance and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?" After a while, a Japanese major ran into the brigade headquarters in a panic.  Bu Ji saluted: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what's wrong, the heavy artillery brigade was attacked near Dahenan Town. The train and the heavy artillery were blown up, and two-thirds of the heavy artillery brigade was lost. Due to the destruction of the railway, the heavy artillery brigade  Already in a state of paralysis." "Nani?" Teng Pingyong thought he heard wrongly and couldn't believe his ears. His triangular eyes widened.  Very scary.  The Japanese Major lowered his head in silence and said: "The heavy artillery brigade was attacked and two-thirds were lost." "Baga!" Yutaro Tengping seemed to be crazy.  He grabbed the collar of the Japanese major in front of him, picked up the big-eared melon seeds and started working: "Baga, Baga, Baga Yalu, how is this possible?" "Hai! Hai!" The Japanese major was beaten so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.  , blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he still quickly put his legs together and lowered his head to admit his mistake, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.  After slapping the major officer in front of him more than a dozen times, Yutaro Tenghei seemed to be deflated.  He sat on an ammunition box with a depressed expression.  It is in sharp contrast to the extremely proud moment not long ago.  At the same time, in Liaoyang County, the headquarters of the Japanese 12th Division.  Sugiyama Motoya just learned the bad news that the heavy artillery brigade was attacked.  Sugiyama Yuan’s expression at this moment was no different from that of his dead parents. He was listless and his face was frighteningly gloomy.  He knows better than anyone how important the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade is, such a strategic force.  Now, almost the entire army has been wiped out in his own hands. Based on this alone, he, Sugiyama Yuan, as the division commander, will be finished.  Upon seeing this, Chief of Staff Ogawa Toshio advised: "Your Majesty General, we cannot continue to be so disheartened and decadent. We must cheer up." A sinister look flashed in Sugiyama Yuan's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Password  I ordered the 24th Brigade, the 1st Chariot Regiment, and the 12th Cavalry Regiment to immediately launch an attack on Sujiatun. I telegraphed to Teng Pingyong that he could not capture Sujiatun before dawn and asked him to commit seppuku to express his apology to His Majesty the Emperor.  Toshio opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He knew that Sugiyama Gen was on the verge of becoming angry and violent, so he wisely lowered his head and followed the order.  After receiving the order, Yutaro Tengping, who was also frustrated, suddenly burst out with monstrous anger.  He immediately carried out Sugiyama Gen's orders cleanly and thoroughly, taking advantage of the darkness when the Japanese Army's air force could not come to bomb.  He will confess??The remaining dozens of tanks and dozens of armored vehicles of the 1st Regiment were all gathered together.  Because of his anger, Yutaro Tengping made an extremely correct tactical choice by mistake, and concentrated all tanks and armored vehicles for use.  Such a powerful assault force is enough to tear apart any enemy's defense line.  This kind of tactics is beyond the imagination of the Japanese with their backward tactical thinking.  Even though the officers and soldiers of the 701st Regiment tried their best to stop the assault force composed of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, they were still unable to stop its advance.  Seeing that the defense line was about to be broken through by the Japanese, at this critical moment, Zhang Xinghan led his armored company to arrive in time.  Immediately launched an assault on the Japanese tanks and armored vehicle groups, and a tank battle immediately began.  A large number of Japanese cavalry and infantry also took advantage of the situation and launched a general attack on the 701st Regiment's position.  ps: The second update is here. I’m pretty fast at typing. My fingers are starting to hurt. The tenth update is true to its word. Everyone will wait and see. However, monthly tickets are about to be sold out.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 151: Heavy damage to the 12th Division

    "Tu tu tu tu" On the 701 regiment's position, Niu Erzhu personally held a universal machine grille and started shooting wildly at the Japanese troops coming in like a tide.  Wherever the bullets hit, the Japanese troops fell one after another like grass.  The Japanese army launched a general offensive and the situation was critical. Liu Jianguo also mobilized the last reserve battalion to deal with the Japanese cavalry.  He also notified Sabli to lead the cavalry regiment to quickly come for reinforcements.  "Kill!" Sabli raised his saber high, shouted with arms raised, and led more than 3,000 cavalry to launch an assault on the attacking Japanese infantry and cavalry.  Nearly 1,500 Japanese cavalrymen from the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army also came forward with swords under the command of their commander.  The two sides immediately started a fierce cavalry melee.  At the same time, the armored company commanded by Li Zhenyuan also had a fierce battle with the Japanese tank regiment.  Although the Japanese tank regiment had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, its firepower, mobility, and armor protection capabilities lagged behind the ** Division III tanks.  Especially the 3'94 type bean tank, the main tank of the Japs, its armor is so weak that even the large-caliber machine gun mounted on the armored vehicle of the armored company can easily penetrate it.  The 50nn gun of the No. 3 tank fired one at a time, directly blasting it into scrap metal.  The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles also fought back with all their might, but the shells and bullets hit the front armor of the No. 3 tank, which was more than 20 mm and nearly 30 mm thick, and only scratched the No. 3 tank.  At most, the 37mm tank gun can dent it a little, but it cannot penetrate the defensive armor of the Panzer III tank at all.  As for the 77mm vehicle-mounted machine gun equipped by the Japanese's Type 97 armored vehicle, it is not as powerful as the general-purpose machine gun of the infantry of the ** Division. It is of no use against the thick defensive armor of the Panzer III tank except for a series of sparks.  Because of the distance, some No. 3 tanks could overturn the Japanese Type 94 tanks and Type 97 light armored vehicles without firing their guns and charging directly.  This completely asymmetric tank and armor battle has been a one-sided massacre from the beginning.  The only thing that can pose some threat to the armored company is the Japanese's small number of Japanese medium tanks.  However, the threat posed by the ** tanks is only to the armored vehicles with relatively weak armor in the armored companies.  They still had nothing to do with the remaining eighteen Panzer III tanks.  ?Compared to the battle between armored tanks and vehicles, the battle between cavalry on both sides was bloodier and more tragic.  The saber was swung, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and heads and broken arms kept flying down.  Sabli's cavalry regiment had an absolute advantage in terms of strength. During the battle, some cavalry were very alert and used the submachine guns equipped by Zhang Xinghan to sweep through them, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese cavalry.  As the fierce battle progressed, the gap in the strength of the two sides became more and more obvious. Originally, in terms of the personal quality of the cavalry, Sabli and his men, who were born on horseback, were better than the Japanese cavalry.  Coupled with the advantage of numbers, the battle quickly became no longer suspense.  Sabli was like a crazed lion, charging wildly with his horse, and slashing left and right with the saber in his hand. There were no less than a dozen Japanese cavalrymen who fell before him.  It wasn’t until he led the cavalry out of the formation that Sabli looked up to the sky and roared. At this moment, the warlike factors and blood of the descendants of Genghis Khan in his body were completely stimulated.  He and his subordinates quickly reined in the reins and turned the horse's head. Sabli swung his blood-stained saber forward. Thousands of cavalry behind him immediately shouted in response. They raised their sabers high and shouted loudly towards the Japanese army again.  The cavalry charged.  Compared with the high morale of the ** Division Cavalry Regiment, the morale of the Japanese 12th Cavalry Regiment, which had more than half of its casualties, seemed a bit low.  However, the Japanese cavalry, who had been deeply poisoned by Bushido, did not run away. Instead, under the command of their captain, they still charged forward with swords in hand.  Like two incompatible steel torrents, the two sides collided head-on again.  The sound of gold and iron produced by the clash of sabers, the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh, and the sound of broken bones are intertwined into a song of death.  Although the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in terms of cavalry, the infantry had an absolute advantage.  Although the 701st Regiment's firepower was fierce, the Japanese army still launched waves of attacks like a tide.  On the attack position of the Japanese 24th Brigade, the brigade commander Yutaro Tenghira had taken off his military coat and tied a piece of white cloth with the words "loyalty and bravery" written on his forehead.  With a "swish" sound, he pulled out his Shogun's sword. Yutaro Tohira swung it forward and shouted hoarsely: "Attack! Attack! His Majesty the Emperor of Japan!" Behind himMore than a thousand Japanese soldiers rushed out, holding bayonets on their rifles and shouting slogans such as "Long Live the Emperor" and "Long Live the Empire of Japan".  Yutaro Tenghei also waved his saber and joined the charge with his subordinates.  The brigade commander personally conducted the charge, which greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese troops who suffered heavy casualties as their attack was blocked. They all continued to charge without fear of death!  In the front trench of the 701st Regiment, the general-purpose machine gun in Niu Erzhu's hand was still roaring, and bullets were piled around his feet.  The weather was more than 20 degrees below zero, and the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun he used was red and hot again. Some of the snow-hard mud flying from the explosion fell and suddenly sizzled and emitted green smoke.  "Ammunition hand, change the barrel, quickly!" Niu Erzhu suddenly stopped shooting, skillfully opened the barrel circlip, and the hot barrel immediately fell.  The ammunition hand on the side quickly picked up a barrel that was buried in the snow to cool down and was about to change it.  Suddenly, a bullet flying from nowhere hit the ammunition hand on the forehead. The ammunition hand was stunned and fell straight back, still holding the barrel of the gun tightly in his hand.  Niu Erzhu ignored his sorrow, picked up the barrel of the gun and loaded it quickly. While continuing to shoot, he turned around and shouted: "Ammunition hand! Give me another ammunition hand!" Suddenly, a majestic figure came up and helped him pick up the gun.  Niu Erzhu took off the bullet chain and continued to pull the trigger and shoot without paying attention.  "Click, click, click" The dense bullets immediately knocked down a large number of Japanese soldiers.  "Third Battalion Commander, quickly, over there, suppress that heavy machine gun!" The ammunition hand next to him suddenly pointed forward and reminded loudly.  Niu Erzhu felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and turned around suddenly, only to see the regiment leader Liu Jianguo wearing a helmet holding the bullet chain for him.  "Regiment seat!" "Hurry up and fire, stop talking nonsense." "Yes!" Niu Erzhu then discovered that there had been a group of comrades from the regiment security company around him. They were using submachine guns in their hands or taking over those  The fallen machine gunner resumed his general machine gun and opened fire violently.  "Little devils, come on!" The unique chainsaw sound of the general machine gun sounded along with Niu Erzhu's voice.  The entire 701 regiment relied on their powerful rapid-fire firepower to resist desperately. Even though the Japanese army had almost rushed to the front, they did not jump out and fight the Japanese with bayonets.  It’s not that they don’t have the courage, but Liu Jianguo knows that their task is to withstand the Japanese onslaught and wait for the cavalry and armored forces to win.  Comparing the difference in the number of infantry between the two sides, the bayonet attack is entirely based on one's shortcomings and attacking the enemy's strengths.  Under the leadership and encouragement of Yutaro Tenghei, thousands of Japanese soldiers braved the rain of bullets and charged desperately.  When he was about to break through the fire blockage of the 701st Regiment, he successfully broke into their trenches and started a hand-to-hand battle.  There was sudden chaos behind Yutaro Tenghei. Looking back, he saw that his cavalry, tanks and armored forces had been completely wiped out.  The cavalry of the Chinese Army was killing its own attacking troops wantonly, and tanks and armored vehicles were rolling over with tongues of fire spitting out.  Yutaro Tengping was suddenly disheartened. Knowing that the defeat was certain, he led the guards around him and launched a suicidal charge towards the 701st Regiment's position.  Not long after, he and his guards were beaten by the dense bullets and fell to the ground.  At this time, Liu Jianguo jumped up from the trench with an MP18 submachine gun in his hand. He opened fire and roared: "Brothers, charge!" Niu Erzhu also put away the tripod of the general machine gun and wrapped the ammunition belt around his body and neck.  , holding the universal machine gun and rushed out, pulling the trigger as he rushed, pouring a dense rain of bullets into the already defeated Japanese crowd.  The officers and soldiers of the 701st Regiment immediately jumped out of the trenches, armed with machine guns and submachine guns, and began a counterattack.  Cooperate with your own cavalry and armored forces to attack from both sides.  Under the attack from both sides by the Japanese Army Division, the Japanese 24th Brigade, which had lost its commander, was completely defeated.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to cover up the killing. The Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another, causing heavy casualties.  When the battle ended, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. In the pursuit battle, the cavalry regiment and the armored company made the most gains. More than half of the Japanese were killed by the cavalry's sabers and the armored company's machine guns and artillery shells.  In this battle, the 24th Brigade, the main force of the 12th Division, and the tank regiment directly under the division headquarters were completely wiped out. The cavalry regiment was completely wiped out, and no more than one Japanese squadron managed to escape.  Including the 14th Infantry Regiment of the 1k Regiment, which was previously defeated by the ** Division, the entire 12th Division has lost more than two-thirds.  While his subordinates were cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the communication.?Call the Air Force.  Half an hour later, Gao Zhihang personally led more than a dozen bombers to arrive and launched a devastating bombing on the remnants of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade paralyzed on the railway from Lighthouse to Sujiatun.  Twenty minutes later, all the artillery of the heavy artillery brigade of the 12th Division was turned into scrap metal, and the entire railway from Beacon to Sujiatun was completely destroyed.  ps: The third update is here.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 152: The Traitor is Executed

    The news that the 12th Division was defeated and the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Strategic Force was completely annihilated soon reached Dalian and Lushun.  Headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Nanjiro’s face was extremely gloomy at this time, as if the temperature in the entire headquarters war room had dropped several degrees.  Ishihara Wan'er was silent at the side, not daring to say anything. At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside.  Ishihara smiled and looked up, but it was his good gay friend Seishiro Itagaki who was here.  He quickly winked at Itagaki Seishiro, telling him to be careful what he said.  Nanjiro turned around when he heard the sound, and when he saw Itagaki Seishiro, he immediately became furious: "Itagaki Seishiro, what's going on? According to reports from the frontline troops, the one who fought with them in Sujiatun was the ** division of the China Army.  This morning, their air force attacked the heavily damaged heavy artillery brigade again. Is this all a coincidence?" Itagaki Seishiro was about to explain, but Ishihara Wanji said first: "General, please calm down. You want to know whether Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the ** Division?  First, the leader of the Chinese Nanjing government, Chiang Kai-shek, publicly sent a memorial message and posthumously awarded Zhang Xinghan the title of Army Lieutenant General. "Asshole, the Chinese people have always been cunning. Zhang Xinghan must not be dead. Besides him, there is no one else in the Northeast."  Was he capable of so severely damaging the 12th Division? If he was really dead, why were the attacks of the 1st, 5th and 11th Divisions blocked at Qinglong Mountain? There was no internal strife in the China Army Division. All of this was a conspiracy.  What a conspiracy!" Nanjiro broke out completely, roaring like crazy.  Ishihara Wan'er was speechless. The reason why he spoke first just now was just to reduce the national responsibility as much as possible for his good friend.  Itagaki Seishiro lowered his head with a heavy face and said: "General, this is indeed a humble mistake. Please punish me, General!" "You are responsible for the entire 12th Division's fallen Imperial Army warriors, and you are responsible for the entire 5th Heavy Artillery Division.  The brigade is responsible!" Nanjiro roared angrily.  Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro both had pale faces, looked at each other, bowed their heads tightly and remained silent.  "Sujiatun was occupied by the Chinese army, and the 12th Division suffered such heavy losses. It is no longer able to recapture Sujiatun. Send me an order. The 91st and 14th Division immediately mobilized troops to cross the Hun River south. We must recapture Sujiatun no matter what.  Tun!" Nanjiro quickly ordered after calming down.  "General, will you withdraw the 1st and 511th Divisions?" Ishihara Wanji asked cautiously.  "The air force will arrive the day after tomorrow. We still have a chance. We still don't know who will win. This time I will completely and cleanly eliminate Zhang Xinghan." Nanjiro said with a look of hatred on his face.  Zhangwu County, the prison of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters.  Nan Zao Yunzi has changed from his usual charming attitude. At this moment, he is beating the tied Cao Binghua severely with a cowhide whip.  Every time the whip was applied, there would be a clear and bloody blood mark on Cao Binghua's body.  "Miss Yunzi, I really didn't lie to you. I really don't know that Zhang Xinghan is not dead. Oops please spare me Ouch" Cao Binghua was filled with hatred at this moment.  Su Hanyun howled miserably and begged for mercy.  Nan Zaoyunzi's eyes were staring at Cao Binghua like fire. At this moment, she wanted to cut Cao Binghua into pieces to vent her hatred.  Especially when she thought that she had continued to serve the imperial army, acted as a good lackey, and given her body to him several times in order to reward him, Nanzo Yunzi's anger became even more uncontrollable.  The whip in his hand became faster and harder, until Cao Binghua was beaten to a bloody pulp and there was no sound anymore, Nan Zao Yunzi threw the whip away while panting.  He turned his head and said, "Throw him into the mountains to feed the wild wolves!" At that moment, several Japanese men stepped forward and picked up the dying Cao Binghua and took him away.  In a wild mountain forest northwest of Zhangwu, two Japanese soldiers drove Cao Binghua here on a motorcycle tricycle. They were about to get off the car when suddenly two gunshots rang out in the forest.  The two-faced Japanese soldier immediately fell to the ground.  In confusion, Cao Binghua opened his eyes and saw two figures, a man and a woman, walking towards him.  When he tried to open his eyes and see the person clearly, he was so frightened that he was scared to death. He begged for mercy extremely weakly: "Nodon'tdon't kill me." "You traitor, I knew you would one day become a Japanese.  Knowing that Zhang Xinghan is not dead and you have suffered a big loss in his hands, you will be kicked away by them like a wild dog sooner or later. So I have been waiting for you." Su Hanyun said with a layer of frost on her pretty face.  "Hanyun, why are you talking so much nonsense to him? I will fight for the organization!" Cao Xingwen said, raising his pistol.  Su Hanyun stopped him with her middle hand and said, "I'll do it." After saying that, she raised her pistol and pointed it at Cao Binghua's head, and pulled the trigger several times in succession."Let's go quickly, the Japanese will be here later." Cao Xingwen pulled Su Hanyun, who was a little excited.  "Yeah!" Su Hanyun nodded, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly started to retching.  "Comrade Hanyun, what's wrong with you?" Cao Xingwen thought she couldn't bear the bloodshed just now, so he quickly patted her back and asked with concern.  "I'm fine." Su Hanyun vomited for a while, breathed a little quickly, waved her hands and continued walking forward.  It’s been almost half a month since her husband came. Thinking of that time with Zhang Xinghua in the restaurant, she was shocked.  Sujiatun Station, temporary headquarters of the assault force.  After half a day of statistics and cleaning the battlefield, the results of last night’s battle came out.  In this battle, the soldiers of the ** Division annihilated more than 12,000 Japanese troops, nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles, and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment.  Since the 24th Infantry Brigade and the cavalry and tank regiments were completely wiped out, the 2nd Division had retreated to the lighthouse and did not dare to launch any more attacks.  As for the ** Division, the 701st Regiment lost more than 300 people and injured more than 500 people. The cavalry lost 240 people and injured more than 700 people. Fortunately, most of them were minor injuries and could continue to fight.  One-third of the casualties in the guard battalion were mainly caused by Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns during the raid on the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.  The armored company lost five armored vehicles and two tanks, the largest loss since its formation.  But they also achieved brilliant results.  During the day, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang led the air force pilots to start the busiest air raid of the day.  Continuously launched air strikes against the Japanese troops in Shenyang and Qinglong Mountain to support our own ground forces on both sides.  At noon, Zhang Xinghan ate some compressed biscuits, drank some boiled water, and just wanted to take a nap at the headquarters.  A rush of footsteps woke him up. When he looked up, he saw Li Zhenyuan walking in quickly.  "Zhenyuan, what's wrong?" Zhang Xinghan sat up and asked.  "Division seat, the cavalry scouts discovered that Japanese troops were secretly crossing the river at several ferries in the direction of Niujiatun and the western section of the Hun River." Li Zhenyuan stood at attention and saluted.  "What? Stowaway?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly lost all sleep. He walked quickly to the map, stared at the map and said: "It seems that the little devil is still not determined to give up. He has begun to mobilize the Japanese troops in Shenyang and Xinmin to prepare for a counterattack on Sujiatun." "  Master, what should we do?" Li Zhenyuan asked.  "You go and inform Commander Sa and ask him to lead the cavalry to the western section of the Hun River and Niujiatun and other crossings to patrol and guard. Once the Japanese troops cross the river, call the air force for bombing. Wait until the evening when your armored company and reconnaissance company will take over the cavalry regiment.  The warning, in short, will never allow the Japanese to cross the river smoothly. If we persist for five days at most, the Japanese army attacking Tongliao will run out of food. By then, victory will belong to us," Zhang Xinghan ordered in a deep voice.  "Yes, I'll do my humble job right away." Li Zhenyuan stood up and responded, then turned and left.  "Signal Corps!" Zhang Xinghan suddenly shouted after Li Zhenyuan left.  "Master, what are your orders?" A communications soldier took off his earphones and stood up quickly.  "Give power to Li Du and Feng Zhanhai who are pretending to attack Shenyang, and ask them to increase their attack intensity and hold off the Japanese troops in Shenyang as much as possible." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" The communications soldier responded immediately, sat down quickly, put on his earphones and began to generate electricity quickly and skillfully.  North of Shenyang, Xinchengzi, Jilin Anti-Japanese Rescue Headquarters.  Due to the strong support of the ** Division Air Force and the replacement of a large number of weapons and equipment by Zhang Xinghan, the combat effectiveness of Li Du's unit has undergone major changes.  At present, its main offensive force has advanced to the area of ????the former Shenyang Beidaying.  However, without armored vehicles and tanks as the rescue force of the assault force, the offensive is limited to this.  The Japanese 14th Division built strong defenses here, and the two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war here.  During the day, the rescuers have strong aerial firepower, giving them an advantage and making them easier to fight.  At night, everyone basically turns to the defensive. As long as they can hold the positions they captured during the day, they will win.  But as one of the 17 permanent divisions, the 14th Division's combat power is by no means ordinary. At night, they can usually regain the positions lost during the day and inflict heavy losses on the rescuers.  With the Air Force during the day, the situation is reversed.  In this way, the two sides fell into a battle of attrition, and the winner was temporarily unable to be determined.  Just when Junliu, the current commander of the 14th Division, was about to send his troops to the rear to rescue the enemy, he tried to defeat him in one fell swoop.  Nanjiro ordered the 14th Division to cross the river and attackSujiatun's order was issued.  Shunroku had no choice but to scold Nanjiro for his stupid command while using the excess troops in the direction of Sujiatun.  In fact, Junroku also knew that after the 12th Division was severely damaged, it became more and more urgent to recapture Sujiatun, so he rarely disobeyed and carried out Nanjiro's orders seriously.  Junliu, an old guy, is not stupid. He knew that there was an air force of the ** Division during the day, so he just sent some advance troops to conduct some exploratory crossing operations.  As expected, they were severely guarded and attacked by the air by the cavalry of the ** Division on the other side.  PS: Brothers, this is the fourth update, please continue to roll around and ask for monthly votes!  Target the top six, kill Gaga!  !  !

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 153: Ambush of the Japanese Army

    After he arrived at night, Junliu began to issue formal orders to the 14th Division and the 9th Division to cross the river, and deployed artillery units to provide full cover.  Since the new division commander of the 9th Division has not yet taken office, the current 9th Division is under the control of Junroku.  Compared with the 14th Division, the 9th Division can deploy more troops for the cross-river attack.  At ten o'clock that night, in the dead of night, about 5,000 Japanese troops arrived in Shenyang from Xinmin City. After fighting with more than 3,000 troops from the 14th Division, they immediately split into two groups.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbps out???  " However, Junliu was extremely cunning. He deployed only a partial force in Niujiatun, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the army nearby.  Provide opportunities for the real river-crossing force. The real river-crossing force is the Nishimura detachment composed of two regiments of the 9th Division.  The commander is Major General Xi Cunxiang, commander of the 1st Regiment Brigade of the 9th Division.  At twelve o'clock in the evening, the 14th Division's river-crossing troops began to cross the river in Niujiatun, and were quickly discovered by the ** Division's scouts.  Li Zhenyuan immediately led an armored company to rush to stop it. Eighteen tanks and fifteen armored vehicles lined up along the bank and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops crossing the river. The Japanese troops suffered heavy losses and retreated hastily.  However, at the same time, the Xicun detachment started smuggling in the direction of Yujiacun, sixty miles away.  Although the scouts of the reconnaissance company discovered them in time, they waited for them to report the urgent military information to Zhang Xinghan on horseback.  Most of the Xicun detachment has crossed the Hun River, and it is too late for Zhang Xinghan to mobilize the armored company to intercept them.  At Sujiatun Station, Liu Jianguo, Shen Xingye, Guo Zhong and others looked at Zhang Xinghan anxiously, waiting for him to think of a solution.  It’s too late, what should I do?  "Master, we can't just passively wait for the Japs to attack. We should take the initiative and catch the Japs by surprise. Maybe we can get unexpected gains." Shen Xingye, who had already tasted the benefits of taking the initiative to attack, saw that Zhang Xinghan was silent and suggested  road.  "Take the initiative?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up. Yes, the Japanese must not have thought of it. After all, after the battle with the 12th Division, they would definitely think that even if their troops were not completely lost, they would be exhausted.  It’s good to be able to hold on, but where is the remaining energy to attack?  What's more, in the eastern section, we still have to deal with the 14th Division's feint attack.  Under such circumstances, the Japanese commander would never have thought that the Sujiatun squadron would dare to take the initiative to attack. At this point, the effect of surprise can be achieved.  However, the key is the deployment and use of troops, otherwise the Japanese army will not be defeated and will instead be harmed.  After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan said to everyone: "After my order, the cavalry regiment immediately transferred a battalion to Niujiatun. The infantry of the guard battalion arrived shortly after and replaced Li Zhenyuan's armored company with me. In addition, the artillery company carried a large amount of poison gas.  The bomb was traveling with the armored company in a military truck. "The commander plans to use gas bombs against the Japanese," Liu Jianguo asked in surprise.  "What, what's wrong?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "No, it's just that my artillery company doesn't carry many poison gas bombs this time. I don't know if they are enough." Liu Jianguo said.  "I have my own way of doing this. The poison gas bombs are just to cause chaos to the Japanese army, and this battle is mainly an ambush battle. As long as it causes chaos to the Japanese army, our army will definitely be able to defeat this Japanese army with armored troops and infantry charges."  ." Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map with confidence.  He turned to the crowd and said: "Look, the straight-line distance between Yujiacun and us is about 20 kilometers, and the actual marching distance is definitely more than sixty miles. Excluding the time spent on the scout's report, this Japanese army has reached half of the way at most.  "In this way, we have at least more than an hour to prepare." "Master, what if this little Japs doesn't come to attack and instead defends the Yujiacun Ferry to help other Japanese troops cross the river? Then wouldn't that be our ambush plan?"  Is it going to fail? Moreover, once the Japanese army mobilizes more troops to cross the river, won't our situation be dangerous?" Liu Jianguo said with some concern.  "No, the Japanese will definitely attack." Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  "How can you see it?" "Because it is less than five hours before dawn, and after we fought the 12th Division, the Japanese will definitely think that we also suffered heavy casualties and were at our weakest. Therefore, they  We will never let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must know that as soon as daybreak, our air force will be able to come to support.??They will be met with devastating air strikes coupled with assaults by our ground armored forces.  "Zhang Xinghan analyzed. "It makes sense.  "Liu Jianguo nodded. "Okay, hurry up and get ready.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hands to everyone and said. "Yes!  "About five kilometers southwest of Sujiatun, there are sorghum fields higher than the ground everywhere. A not-so-wide dirt road passes through it, and this road leads directly to Sujiatun Station. People from various villages in the southwest area of ??Sujiatun  The only way to get to Sujiatun was a country road. Later, with the rise of the South Manchuria Railway, people often took the train to Shenyang or Liaoyang and other places for business. There were also many businessmen passing by, and there were more people walking there.  As the road became wider, Zhang Xinghan led his armored company, two battalions of the cavalry regiment, and the artillery company of the 701st Regiment to advance into the endless sorghum forest.  They had already set up the mortars and adjusted the shooting elements. Boxes of gas bombs were opened by the ammunition hand. Each of the main gunmen had a 60mwr caliber gas bomb in their hands. They just waited for Zhang Xinghan's sound.  All armored tank soldiers and cavalrymen were equipped with gas masks. In the dark night, the cavalrymen were as if they were devils from hell, and it took more than half an hour.  , the roar of a motorcycle finally came from the end of the field road. Zhang Xinghan shrank his head subconsciously in the sorghum field. Behind him, a scout was moving vigorously through the sorghum field, and soon came to Zhang Xinghan's side and reported: "  Division seat, the Japanese are coming, led by two motorcycles with machine guns, followed by a large group of infantry.  " "Well, I know, no one is allowed to act rashly before the artillery fires my order. After the artillery fires, the armored company immediately cuts off the enemy's retreat and advance forward and backward, and then opens a path with firepower to advance in the opposite direction, with the cavalry attacking in the middle.  , leave no one behind!  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered. The scouts took the order and quickly disappeared into the sea of ??sorghum. Not long after, two sidecars carrying six Japanese soldiers drove over. To Zhang Xinghan's surprise, they were mounted on the sidecar.  Wherever the two crooked machine guns went, there was not even a fire reconnaissance test. After thinking about it, I was relieved. This Japanese army came here smuggled in. Their commander must have thought that Sujiatun was the center.  The attention of the * team was attracted by the 14th Division. In order not to alert the enemy, the Japanese soldiers did not conduct fire reconnaissance as usual. Zhang Xinghan paid no attention to these two Japanese motorcycles.  There was nothing worthy of our own action. Our target was the main force of the Japanese army behind us. As expected, not long after the three rounds passed by the two Japs, a large group of Japanese infantry came over in neat rows.  , except for some motorcycles and three-wheelers, there were no other armored vehicles in front of them. When the Japanese completely entered the ambush circle, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the dozens of Albm mortars that had been prepared for a long time to fire. "  "Boom, boom, boom" There was a series of muffled sounds, and more than a dozen poison gas bombs fell towards the middle of the road with a harsh whistling sound. The Japanese reacted very quickly. As soon as the gunshots were fired, they fell down one after another.  They fired into the sorghum fields on both sides. But to their surprise, the shells that came unexpectedly did not explode but smoked. Soon some Japanese soldiers were poisoned.  The Japanese suddenly went into chaos. At this time, the second round of shelling came. At the same time, the armored company that had been lying in wait for a long time also divided into two groups and used vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank gun assault firepower to appear in front of and behind the Japanese marching column.  Bu Li led the cavalrymen wearing gas masks to suddenly rush out from the fields on both sides. All the cavalrymen followed Zhang Xinghan's instructions and fired fiercely with the submachine guns on their chests until all thirty rounds of submachine bombs were fired.  They all drew their swords and rushed towards the Japanese troops who were already suffering heavy casualties and were in chaos. As soon as the gunfire rang out, Xi Cunxiang, the leader of the Japanese detachment, fell down from his horse in a very alert manner and was protected by layers of guards around him.  When he stood up, there was loud gunfire from both ends, and he was also fired at close range by intensive submachine gun fire. The men around Xi Cunxiang fell one after another. His guard squadron protected him and then retreated, but he was quickly beaten.  The troops retreating from the rear were thrown into chaos. As soon as I looked around Xicun Alley, I saw.I saw an unknown number of Chinese tanks in the dark night, firing fiercely and crushing and attacking towards us.  At this moment, the artillerymen of the artillery company had slightly adjusted their shooting angle and continued to fire according to Zhang Xinghan's prior arrangements.  After a round of shelling, dozens of poisonous gas bombs all fell at the back of the queue in Xicun Alley.  The poisonous gas quickly spread, and the guards and subordinates around him suddenly fell into chaos.  Nishimura himself accidentally inhaled the poisonous gas, and soon fell down, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.  "Kill them all and leave no one alive!" Zhang Xinghan stood on an armored vehicle and ordered loudly while wearing a gas mask.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 154: Anti-River Crossing Battle

    In this battle, the moment Xi Cunxiang, the leader of the Japanese detachment, was poisoned and fell down, there was no suspense. Thousands of Japanese troops were squeezed on the narrow dirt road. Both ends were blocked by tanks and armored vehicles with powerful firepower and invincible defenses, and they were constantly blocked.  Fire and advance.  In the middle, they were attacked by thousands of cavalry, who fired fiercely at first, followed by an assault. The most deadly thing was the thick poisonous gas that had been diffused and invisible at all.  Under the pervasive poisonous gas, the Japanese command system at all levels fell into unprecedented chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective breakout or counterattack.  “Many Japanese were poisoned by poisonous gas and then trampled to death by the horses’ hooves, or hacked to death with sabers by highly skilled cavalrymen.  The worst victims were the Japanese troops at the front and rear. Not only were they enveloped in poisonous gas, but the lethality unleashed by the armored company's tank guns and large-caliber machine guns was extremely terrifying.  ??Especially when the Japanese troops were so densely packed together and shooting together, they would basically fall down in large pieces.  After many Japanese soldiers were knocked down by the dense bullets, even if they were not killed, they would be crushed into pieces by the tanks and armored vehicles that followed.  This massacre-like battle lasted for nearly two or three hours. Most of the Japanese were eliminated on the spot, and the entire road was filled with Japanese corpses.  Some of the Japanese skirmishers who were slightly stronger and could escape after being poisoned by poison gas were quickly killed in the corn field by the chasing cavalry.  Although some Japanese escaped the pursuit of the cavalry, they fell into the sorghum field because the poisonous gas invaded their internal organs.  Four hours later, the troops completed cleaning the battlefield, all 5,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, and a large amount of weapons, equipment and ammunition were seized.  The casualties of the ** division were completely negligible. After taking away as much weapons and ammunition as possible, Zhang Xinghan led his troops back to Sujiatun at around five o'clock in the morning.  "Master, you are back. How is the result?" Liu Jianguo came up and asked.  "Annihilated more than 5,000 Japanese troops. Zhang Xinghan said very calmly. More than 5,000 people? Oh my god! This is unbelievable." Liu Jianguo was shocked and said with joy.  "From this war, I think you should have a new understanding of chemical weapons of mass destruction such as poison gas bombs." Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully: "Especially when used by surprise, and supplemented by a powerful attack  "The power of poison gas bombs will be amplified ten times or even dozens of times!" "Yes." Liu Jianguo and others nodded in understanding.  "Where is the direction of Niujiatun? Nothing unexpected happened, right?" Zhang Xinghan walked into the headquarters, took off his helmet and asked.  "Niujiatun has not been firmly in our hands, and the Japanese have not launched any decent forcible crossing attacks. They have ordered cavalry to patrol along the river, and no abnormalities have been found." Liu Jianguo said.  "Well, that's good." Zhang Xinghan took out a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs and said, "Tell the brothers to hold on for a few more days. It will be very hard these days, especially at night." "Yes!" In Shenyang City, No.  14th Division Headquarters.  Junliu stayed up all night, his eyes were already bloodshot, and coupled with his animal face, he looked particularly scary.  At this moment, the old devil was clasping his hands on the table covered with combat maps and staring at the map.  "How's it going? Is there any news from the Nishimura detachment?" Junliu asked without looking back when he noticed the footsteps behind him.  The person who walked in was the current chief of staff of the 14th Division, Colonel Noda Cuckoo.  Noda Cuckoo shook his head tremblingly and said: "No. Since the Nishimura detachment successfully crossed the river five hours ago, they have not contacted us again." "Baga Nishimura, this idiot, it is already dawn, and Sujiatun has not been captured yet.  "What is he doing? Immediately ask the intelligence department to find a way to investigate the area southwest of Sujiatun." Junliu said angrily.  "Hai!" Noda Cuckoo suddenly put his feet back and lowered his head in response, then turned around and took the order.  Not long after Noda Cuckoo left, a piercing air raid siren sounded in Shenyang City.  Junliu's face was gloomy. He knew that this must be another attack by the Japanese Air Force.  Helpless, Shunliu had to order all the feint attacking troops in the south of the city to withdraw to the city and make another plan.  At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shunroku had just finished lunch, and Chief of Staff Noda Cuckoo walked into the headquarters in a hurry.  Before he could salute, he said: "Your Excellency General, the latest news came from the Special Higher Education Department. A large number of corpses of imperial officers and soldiers were found five kilometers southwest of Sujiatun. It has been confirmed that the Xicun detachment has been completely wiped out." "What?"  Junliu, who was drinking tea, spit out the tea in a sip and almost fainted.Choking to death, he looked up at Noda Cuckoo with a horrified face, and said in disbelief: "Noda-kun, is this news true?" "The Special High School Agent has confirmed it again and again, and it is true." Noda Cuckoo nodded solemnly.  road.  "Bagaya Road!" Junliu was so furious that he smashed the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand and roared with gritted teeth: "Damnable Chinese people, so damned! This idiot Nishimura, what happened to him? Yesterday, what happened to him?  "What happened at night?" "General, according to the intelligence provided by the agents, they were communicating

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 155: Japanese Plane Attack

    "BoomBoomBoom" A violent explosion soon sounded, and the obedient people controlled by ghosts, as well as the ghosts who controlled them, fell one after another in the explosion.

    Some people even had no bones left and were completely destroyed.

    Several Zero fighter jets also began to dive and strafe.

    Ten minutes later, the Japanese troops who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties and hurriedly withdrew into the city.

    The news was sent back to the 14th Division headquarters.

    Junroku was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Noda Cugu next to him carefully advised: "General, please don't get angry. It's hard to predict that the commander of China will be so crazy"

    "Shut up!" Noda Cuckoo's words to him on the steps, at this moment, there was a hint of sarcasm in Junroku's ears. He was so angry that he immediately stopped Noda Cuckoo.

    Noda Cuckoo suddenly fell silent. For a while, the whole headquarters was silent except for the continuous beeping sound from the radio room next door.

    After a long time, a communications lieutenant came out of the radio room, holding a message and saluting the two: "Your Excellency, the Division Commander, Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, this is a call from the Kwantung Army Headquarters."

    Junroku didn’t even raise his head, Noda Cugu waved his hand and said: “Read it!”

    "Hai!" The communications lieutenant lowered his head suddenly, opened the message and read quickly: "The aviation force will arrive at Dalian Airport this evening and fly to Sujiatun tomorrow morning for combat. Please prepare for the cross-river attack. The aviation force will go all out.  Cooperate and assist! Telegraph from Kwantung Army Headquarters.”

    Noda Cuckoo immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, and said to Junroku, who had not yet come to his senses: "Your Excellency, division commander, did you hear that our air force of the Imperial Japanese Army is here, and we finally don't have to be afraid of the Chinese anymore, haha  !”

    Junliu's eyes flashed with vengeful anger, and he said in a serious voice: "Give me an order to defeat the Chinese army in the direction of Beidaying tonight, and concentrate on preparing to cross the river tomorrow morning!"

    "Hai!" Noda Cuckoo suddenly lowered his head.

    In the afternoon, the three Japanese divisions also stopped their attack on Qinglong Mountain. They all received notifications from the Kwantung Army Headquarters about the arrival of aviation units.

    And after these two days of fighting, it has also been confirmed that attacking during the day will only increase casualties. Without air superiority, it is impossible for their attack to be effective when attacking an independent division's defense line with complete defense facilities.

    So, that afternoon, China and Japan entered into a rare brief truce in Qinglong Mountain, Shenyang, and Sujiatun.

    At the same time, the news that the Japanese army captured Shenyang, Xinmin, Zhangwu and other places and began to gather heavy troops to attack Tongliao finally spread throughout China.

    Patriots from all walks of life across the country have not yet come out of the shadow of the national anti-Japanese hero Zhang Xinghan who was unfortunately killed by a traitor, but their attention was attracted by the Battle of Tongliao.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…

    However, without the soul figure, can the independent division of miracle creator Zhang Xinghan create miracles again?

    The people of the country are all worried and sweating for the independent division.

    Nanjing, the leader’s retreat.

    Dai Li, currently the director of the Secret Service of the Blue Clothes Society, hurriedly got out of the car and went straight to the leader's cabin.

    The guard did not stop him because he had the leader's decree and could enter and exit the carriage house at will.

    Dai Li had not entered the rear of the camp until he met the attendant officer Wang Shihe.

    "Why is Director Dai in such a hurry?" Wang Shihe stopped him and asked.

    Wang Shi and Dai Li still did not dare to be presumptuous, so they responded very respectfully: "I have urgent information to report to the principal, and I hope that the captain of the guard Wang will inform it on my behalf."

    "Well, the principal is in the office. You can go by yourself. I have something to do." Wang Shihe nodded with satisfaction and said Su Shou.

    "Okay." Dai Li lowered his head and walked towards Principal Jiang's office.

    As soon as he arrived at the office, Dai Li found that the door of the office was wide open and Principal Jiang was working inside. So he knocked on the door and stood at attention and said: "Report, Principal, the students have something to report!"

    "Oh? Yunong? Come in and talk." Principal Jiang raised his head when he heard the sound, put down the pen in his hand, and took off his glasses.

    Dai Li strode in with his head held high, and he stood upright and saluted to show respect.

    Principal Jiang waved his hand with great satisfaction and said, "What's the matter with Yunong?"

    "Principal, I have just received confirmation that Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the Tongliao Independent Division, is not dead." Dai Li said.

    "Oh? Is this serious?" Principal Jiang was obviously very surprised.

    Dai Li recognizedHe nodded eagerly: "It's true. Not only did Zhang Xinghan survive, but he also joined forces with Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and other units of the Jilin Northeast Army to launch an attack on Shenyang. He himself even led an elite force to detour hundreds of people.  Kilometers, a few days ago, they captured the strategic location of Sujiatun and destroyed the Hun River Bridge, cutting off the retreat of the five Japanese divisions north of the Hun River, Shenyang Xinmin and other places! "

    Principal Jiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Zhang Xinghan captured Sujiatun? What is he going to do?"

    "You can't see through your humble position. I don't think that one of his divisions can defeat five Japanese divisions." Dai Li shook his head and said

    "He captured Sujiatun, how could the Japanese just let it go?" Principal Jiang said.

    "The Japanese did not give up and assembled a full-scale division to attack Sujiatun. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese army that attacked Sujiatun was defeated yesterday by Zhang Xinghan's troops and completely lost their ability to attack.  ." Dai Li said.

    Principal Jiang fell into silence. After a long time, Dai Li couldn't help but tentatively asked: "Principal, should we do something? Zhang Xinghan actually deceived the principal and falsely reported his death"

    Before Dai Li finished speaking, Chairman Jiang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Don't make any moves yet. Let's wait and see how the battle situation changes before making any plans."

    "Yes!" Dai Li did not dare to disobey and quickly bowed his head in response.

    Hangzhou, Jiang Baili’s residence.

    As the principal of Baoding Military Academy and the mentor and friend of many rising military talents in the country, he naturally has many channels for information.

    He has been paying attention to the situation in Northeast China, and he and Principal Jiang learned about the current changes in the situation in Northeast China almost immediately.

    When he learned that Zhang Xinghan might not be dead, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He asked his wife Jiang Zuomei to pack his luggage for him that night. He was eager to rush to the Northeast District as soon as possible.

    He will try his best to assist Zhang Xinghan with what he has learned throughout his life, and join hands with him to fight against the Japanese aggressors in the white mountains and black waters.

    That night, under the cover of artillery, the Japanese troops in Beida Camp suddenly launched an attack on Li Du and Feng Zhanhai.

    At the same time, a cavalry regiment and an infantry brigade of the 14th Division detoured behind Li Feng's Second Division and launched an attack.

    Li Du and Feng Zhanhai were attacked from both sides and fought bloody battles until the early hours of the morning. Finally, they lost and were defeated by the Japanese army.

    The troops suffered heavy losses and were forced to flee to Tielingzhe.

    Fortunately, the Japanese army did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but quickly ended the night battle and returned to Shenyang.

    To the Japanese, Li Du and Feng Zhanhai were just scabies, but the independent division occupying Sujiatun was a serious problem.

    Without recapturing Sujiatun, the logistics supplies of the five Japanese divisions on the north bank of the Hun River would not be able to maintain smooth flow, let alone repair the damaged Hun River Bridge.

    Over time, the consequences will be disastrous.

    On the way to Tieling,

    "Oh, it's really embarrassing. We have more than 15,000 people, but we are not as good as Zhang Xinghan's 6,000 partial troops." Li Du sighed with shame and anger.

    "Brother Zhichu, now is not the time to feel guilty. Let's inform Zhang Xinghan of this situation as soon as possible so that he can be mentally prepared. You and I will retreat to Tieling first, gather our troops, and then make more plans!" Feng Zhanhai said.

    "Okay." Li Du sighed.

    Sujiatun Station, temporary headquarters.

    After reading the message brought by the communications corps, Zhang Xinghan’s face became a little solemn.

    Liu Jianguo saw this and asked, "What's wrong, Master? What happened?"

    "Li Du and Feng Zhanhai's troops were attacked from behind by the Japanese army and suffered a tragic defeat. They have now retreated to Tieling." Zhang Xinghan said with some disappointment.

    "They have more than 15,000 people. Even if they are unable to attack, it shouldn't be a problem to defend the current position, right? How is this battle directed?" Liu Jianguo was slightly surprised, with some dissatisfaction in his tone.

    "Their equipment is not as sophisticated as ours, their firepower is far inferior to ours, and they do not have cavalry and armored forces. Once they are outflanked by the Japanese army, it will be difficult not to fail." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and sighed: "

    It seems that we will have to fight alone next time.  "

    "Master, we have been here for four days, how long do we have to stay here?" Liu Jianguo asked.

    "Three days, five days at most. If I guess correctly, the supplies carried by the Japanese divisions are only enough to last for more than a week at most. Five days ago, we destroyed a large number of them in Zhangwu. I estimate that the Japanese  The supplies will not last for more than five days, and you will have to go hungry. You must know that it is freezing and the army of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers will not be able to hold on for too long without food." Zhang Xinghan analyzed.

    Liu Jianguo was relieved.head.

    "Okay, let's have a good rest tonight. Everyone should be very tired from fighting and fighting for days. Refresh yourself for another fight!" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand towards Liu Jianguo.

    After being speechless all night, Zhang Xinghan was startled by a harsh engine roar at dawn the next day, followed by a series of violent explosions.

    The people in the headquarters, including Zhang Xinghan, felt like the ground was shaking and their ears were buzzing.

    When they ran out of the headquarters, they saw Japanese planes swooping down everywhere above their heads.

    The dazzling plaster flag is particularly eye-catching when flying at low altitude.

    Shen Xingye crouched to avoid the bombing and strafing in the air, and quickly came to Zhang Xinghan's side. He said in a hurried tone: "Master, please hide quickly, this little devil's plane came too suddenly."

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 156: Aerial Strangulation

    Zhang Xinghan stared at the Japanese aircraft that were constantly circling, bombing and swooping in the sky, and said in a cold voice: "Give me the order. Each battalion and company will set up general-purpose machine guns and fight back with all their strength. The communications company will immediately send electricity to Tongliao and order the air force to come quickly to support!"

    "Master, it's too dangerous for you to be here" Shen Xingye hesitated uneasily.

    "Execute the order." Zhang Xinghan ordered in an unquestionable tone.

    Shen Xingye had no choice but to take the order and leave, while Zhang Xinghan went straight to a sacrificed machine gunner in the distance.

    Running quickly in a zigzag pattern, Zhang Xinghan quickly came to the side of the sacrificial machine gunner. He hung the ammunition belt on his body, held the general-purpose machine gun and aimed at a Japanese plane that was flying by.

    The anti-aircraft machine guns of the armored company were also set up and were firing continuously into the air.

    The Japanese plane was counterattacked by ground fire. The furious Japanese pilots became even more crazy and began to dive back and forth, strafing and bombing desperately.

    Both sides suffered injuries to each other. Of course, the casualties of the independent division's ground troops were much greater than those of the Japanese aircraft.

    From the perspective of actual battle damage value, shooting down a Japanese plane and losing twenty soldiers is a good deal.

    The most important thing for China is soldiers, and for the Japanese, a Japanese plane is a loss of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    The most important thing is that the Japanese need to import all their steel and crude oil from foreign countries, and their losses far exceed those of other countries.

    Training a pilot is more expensive than training twenty infantrymen.

    At the same time that Sujiatun was attacked by Japanese air raids, the Japanese 14th Division also began to prepare for a forced crossing from Niujiatun.  The guard battalion guarding Niujiatun immediately opened fire to block the attack, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

    At the same time, the Tongliao Independent Division flew to the airport.

    Hundreds of pilots rushed out of the aviation building and ran towards their planes.

    The ground crew had made all logistical preparations for them, and soon, a Zero fighter took the lead in taking off.

    Other Zero fighters and a batch of BF109 fighters also took off one after another. Tongliao is five hundred miles away from Shenyang and is still within the combat radius of BF109.

    The last ones to take off were a group of Stuka bombers. Their mission was to select opportunities to bomb the Japanese ground forces in order to assist our own ground forces in combat.

    Half an hour later.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang led 20 two-type fighters and 30 BF109 fighters to the sky above Sujiatun first.

    Coinciding with the second wave of Japanese fighter jets, fifty Type 97 fighters came to cover the twenty bombers.

    The Type 97 fighter is currently the most advanced fighter aircraft equipped by the Japanese sea-based and land-based aviation forces.

    It was officially installed in the country last month. There were only 200 aircraft in total in the initial stage. However, Japan's domestic aircraft manufacturing plants, tanks and combat vehicles and other factories are already operating at full capacity to produce aircraft, tanks and other combat equipment.

    When the enemies on both sides met, they were extremely jealous and immediately started a fierce aerial battle.

    "However, the Japanese obviously overestimated the performance of their latest fighter jets, whether compared with the BF109 or Zero fighter.

    The Japanese Type 97 monoplane fighter still looks weak and is no match at all.

    The fierce battle lasted less than half an hour.  More than half of the fifty Type 97 Japanese aircraft were lost, and the remaining Japanese aircraft were already frightened.  Wherever they dared to continue, they all turned around and ran away.

    Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang led their men in pursuit and shot down more than a dozen Japanese planes. In the end, less than twenty Japanese planes escaped.

    When our own fighter jets and the Japanese army launched a fierce air battle, the Stuka bombers of the flying group rushed to the battlefield and immediately flew towards the already critical Niujiatun.

    Launched a fierce low-altitude dive bombing campaign against the Japanese troops of the 14th Division who were forcibly crossing, and successfully assisted the guard battalion in crushing the Japanese attack.

    And blew up a large number of wooden boats, rubber boats and other river crossing equipment used by the 14th Division to cross the river.

    Sujiatun, the fierce air battle has ended.  Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang led their troops to return home. They had to go back to refuel and replenish ammunition in preparation for another strategic air raid on Dalian in order to destroy the Japanese air force base in the Northeast and regain complete control of the air.

    The ground is filled with smoke, Zhang Xinghan.  Liu Jianguo is commanding the troops to rescue the wounded.

    "Master, are you okay?" Shen Xingye ran over panting.

    "I'm fine, how about the direction of Niujiatun?" Zhang Xinghan patted the dirt on his body and asked.

    "Our bomber group arrived in time and held the position." Shen Xingye replied.

    "The Japanese air force reinforcements have arrived. We must adjust our troop deployment, otherwise, before our air force can kill their airports and regain control of the air,They are very dangerous.  " Zhang Xinghan said.

    "I wonder what the master's arrangements are?"

    "Let's wait and see if Captain Gao and the others can successfully destroy the Japanese air force base in Dalian this time before making any plans." Zhang Xinghan said.

    "The Japanese suffered a big loss last time. They will definitely strengthen their air defense force this time. I feel that it may not be that easy this time." Shen Xingye said worriedly.

    "No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. If we don't fully control the air, then there is no need for us to defend Sujiatun any longer. After all, our air force cannot always patrol in the air to watch for incoming Japanese planes." Zhang Xinghan said.

    ??……………………

    Dalian Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    Ishihara Wanji reported to Nanjiro with an extremely ugly face: "General, the 3rd Aviation Group just had an encounter with the China Air Force over Sujiatun."

    "Oh? How powerful is the new fighter plane of the Imperial Army?" Nanjiro asked with interest.

    Ishihara Wanji lowered his head with a sad face and said: "Reporting to Your Excellency, General, the 3rd Group lost more than thirty new fighters and was completely defeated."

    "What? Are the new fighters still inferior to the China Air Force fighters?" Nanjiro was disappointed.

    Ishihara Wanji didn’t answer, but nodded.

    "Your Majesty General, I believe that China Jun has been attacked by the Imperial Air Force. In order to avoid such a threat, they will definitely attack the Imperial Army's airport in Dalian again. I think we should focus on strengthening the airport's air defense.  Preserve the Imperial Army's air power as much as possible.

    As long as our fighter planes and airports still exist, we will be able to mentally threaten the Chinese Army at all times, thereby constraining their possible military adventures and other actions.  "Ishihara Wanji suggested.

    Regarding Ishihara Kanji's suggestion, Nanjiro nodded in agreement and said: "Inform all air defense units to get to their respective positions and be more vigilant. It is best to make all air defense preparations and ensure that Dalian Airport is safe and sound no matter what."

    "Hai, I'll take care of my humble duty right away." Ishihara smiled and responded, turning around and leaving.

    ??……………………

    An hour and a half later, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang led the Independent Division Air Force's twenty Zero fighters, twenty Stuka bombers, and thirty HE111 medium bombers, almost all of them came out and flew over Dalian, heading straight for the Japanese army in Dalian.  Leaving the airport.

    However, as soon as they arrived over Dalian this time, a harsh air defense siren sounded throughout Dalian, and intensive air defense firepower also opened fire.

    The sky was filled with exploding anti-aircraft shells and raindrops of anti-aircraft machine gun shells.

    “Pull it up, pull it up, the enemy’s air defense firepower is very dense this time.” Liu Cuigang, the lead aircraft, issued a warning.

    "01, 01, the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower is too strong, can we drop bombs at high altitude?" Liu Cuigang asked Gao Zhihang for instructions after flying over the airport.

    "02,02 Please note that an enemy plane has taken off. An enemy plane has taken off. The first fighter group is attacking! The bombing squadron will immediately carry out high-altitude red bombing!" Gao Zhihang made a quick decision.

    Liu Cuigang led a dozen Zero fighter jets to attack the incoming Japanese fighter jets, while Gao Zhihang Zezi took the remaining Zero fighter jets to cover the bomber group and began to drop bombs.

    At this moment, another group of Japanese sea-based aviation troops flew over the sea level.

    Seeing that the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, Gao Zhihang made a decisive decision: "All bombers will return immediately, return immediately, 02 and I will lead the fighter group to provide full cover!"

    "receive!"

    "receive!"

    The bomber groups that had just dropped a few aerial bombs were ordered to return. Liu Cuigang, who had already shot down two Japanese planes, led two wingmen to take the lead in facing the Japanese sea-based aviation groups that had just arrived.

    Although Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang had far fewer fighter planes than the Japanese, they were still able to handle it with advanced performance and powerful firepower until it was confirmed that the bomber group had successfully returned.

    They quickly got rid of the entanglement of the Japanese planes and began to return home.

    Sujiatun Independent Division Temporary Headquarters.

    The communications corps had received news of the unfavorable air strike of the flying brigade and immediately reported it to Zhang Xinghan: "Divisional seat, Captain Gao and their air attack on the Japanese airport in Dalian failed. The Japanese were equipped with an astonishing number of anti-aircraft weapons, and our fighters could not  Conduct low-altitude precision bombing.

    “Moreover, the Japanese also mobilized a large number of sea-based aviation forces, combined with land-based aviation forces and a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower, and our air strikes failed.

    Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan's face became quite heavy. After pondering for a long time, he gave the order: "Give me the order, armored company, cavalry regiment behind, 701st regiment,The guard camp and the reconnaissance company immediately retreated eastward and evacuated Sujiatun.  "

    "Evacuate Sujiatun?" Liu Jianguo and Sabli were puzzled.

    "Yes, evacuate Sujiatun, don't ask why, execute it quickly!" Zhang Xinghan's tone revealed no doubt.

    Liu Jianguo and Sabuli had no choice but to take orders and leave in unison.

    Soon, the 701st Regiment, the Guard Battalion and the Reconnaissance Company left Sujiatun in military trucks pulling a large number of captured weapons and ammunition.

    The armored company and the cavalry regiment also took turns covering the retreat to the east.

    Not long after Zhang Xinghan led his troops to evacuate, a group of Japanese sea-based bombers arrived like a swarm of blood-sniffing sharks.

    However, they failed and learned that the Independent Division had evacuated Sujiatun. The Japanese pilots immediately reported the news to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

    Nanjiro was delighted when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the remnants of the 12th Division and the 14th Division to quickly occupy Sujiatun and consolidate the defense line to prevent further accidents.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 157: New Target

    Zhang Xinghan led his troops to retreat eastward, and it took less than two hours to retreat to the Saarhu area.  "Master, are we going to withdraw to the base?" Shen Xingye, the driver of a military truck, turned around and asked.

    "Yes, go back." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

    "Then are we all busy in vain?" Shen Xingye said unwillingly.

    "How can we say that all our hard work was in vain? We defeated two divisions of the Japanese army and seized tens of thousands of guns and ammunition. Now the battlefield situation has changed dramatically. There is no need to hold on to Sujiatun anymore. If I didn't guess,  If it is wrong, since the Japanese sea-based air defense forces have arrived in large numbers, the next few divisions of the 12 divisions previously claimed by Japan should also arrive in succession.

    Now, the Japanese are fully prepared, and our air force is no longer able to completely seize air supremacy in the Northeast. Therefore, my previous strategic goal of cutting off the retreat of the five Japanese army divisions north of the Hun River has been unable to be achieved.

    However, although it is impossible to defeat the five Japanese divisions, there is still a chance to defeat the three Japanese divisions that are deep in the hinterland of our base.  "Zhang Xinghan explained patiently.

    "Oh? How do you say this?" Shen Xingye asked curiously.

    "If you were the commander of the Japanese army and learned that we had voluntarily evacuated the strategic location of Sujiatun, what would you do?" Zhang Xinghan asked rhetorically without answering.

    Shen Xingye thought for a moment and said, "I will immediately send troops to Sujiatun and organize forces to build the Hun River Bridge."

    "That's right, in the Shenyang area, the 9th Division and the 12th Division have been almost crippled by us. The only one capable of entering Sujiatun is the Japanese 14th Division in Shenyang City.

    In order to ensure that no more accidents occur in Sujiatun, the Kwantung Army Headquarters will definitely deploy heavy troops here.

    And this is exactly what we need. The main force of the 14th Division is tied up in Sujiatun. We only need to send the air force to continuously bomb the Hunhe River Railway Bridge to prevent the Japanese from repairing it and organize supplies for the Japanese army.  and follow-up troops heading north.

    At this time, we immediately quickly maneuvered back to Horqin's left wing and rear flag, and cooperated with our main force to attack the 1st, 5th, and 11th divisions of the Japanese Army at the same time. We would attack from the front and back, and we would definitely win. As long as these three divisions of the Japanese Army were defeated, we  , our base area will be safe for the time being.  " Zhang Xinghan said.

    "Okay, let's get out quickly, go back to Tieling first, and then insert the flag directly on Horqin's left wing. With our march speed, we can arrive tomorrow at the latest."

    "Yes." Shen Xingye quickly moved the car and started driving quickly, leading his troops around Fushun and heading north.

    It was only a hundred miles from Fushun to Tieling, and it took Zhang Xinghan and the others more than two hours to get to Tieling.

    Reunited with Li Du and Feng Zhanhai who were resting here and were in a dilemma.

    "General Zhang, during the battle in Shenyang, Li was extremely ashamed!" Li Du said with a guilty look on his face when he saw Zhang Xinghan.

    "Brother Zhichu, there is no need to blame yourself. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. However, now I have an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and avenge the shame of your army. I wonder if brothers Zhichu and Shoushan are interested?" Zhang Xinghan said straight to the point.  road.

    Li Du and Feng Zhanhai looked at each other and said, "General Zhang, please make it clear that as long as there is a chance to defeat the Japanese and avenge the shame, Brother Shoushan and I will definitely help!"

    "Okay, now the 1st, 5th, and 11th divisions of the Japanese Army are confronting the main force of our Du1i Division on the front line of Qinglong Mountain. I decided to lead my troops back to Qinglong Mountain to aid Qinglong Mountain, and attack front and back with the main force of our Du1i Division to fight for a battle.  And win, defeat these three divisions of the Japanese army. Do you want to go together?" Zhang Xinghan said in a relaxed tone.

    Li Du and Feng Zhanhai looked at each other and took a breath of air at the same time. Defeated three divisions of the Japanese army?

    We haven’t even beaten a single division, and I feel like crying.

    "What, are you two afraid of being beaten by the Japanese? Don't you dare to go?" Zhang Xinghan asked deliberately and aggressively.

    "Li doesn't like to hear what General Zhang said. We are both from the Northeast Army. We Gulin rescuers are greedy for life and afraid of death. I have decided to go to Qinglong Mountain with you." Li Du was of course because of Zhang Xinghan.  Jijiangfa agreed so easily.

    In fact, even if Zhang Xinghan didn't need to provoke the generals, he and Feng Zhanhai would agree to go together. In the battle of Shenyang, they lost face.

    “Nowadays, the Northeast has become the focus of attention of compatriots from all walks of life across the country. They really don’t want to be looked down upon by compatriots in Guan.

    So they need a victory to clear their name!

    ??……………Tongliao, du1i Division Headquarters.

    Xiao Lizi, the commander of the communications company, personally walked into the war room with a telegram, saluted to the chief of staff Zhao Zhenfan who was on duty and reported: "Commander, the division is calling."

    &nbsp;"Huh?" Zhao Zhenfan was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and took the message. After reading it hastily, Zhao Zhenfan hurriedly said to Xiao Lizi: "Captain Li, I will leave the division headquarters to you. I have to go to Qinglong Mountain as soon as possible.  "

    "Yes!" Xiao Lizi happily accepted the order.

    Zhao Zhenfan left the division headquarters and got into a military Gup with a few guards. As soon as he got on the car, Zhao Zhenfan said: "Go to the garrison headquarters first."

    The driver immediately drove towards the garrison headquarters.

    Soon, we arrived at the headquarters of the garrison regiment.

    Liu Guodong heard the sound and came out. When he saw Zhao Zhenfan, he quickly ran over, saluted and asked: "Master, what can I do? You are here in person."

    "Commander Liu, I am now announcing to you the order of the division commander in the name of chief of staff. All officers and soldiers of the garrison must be assembled before tonight and go to the front line of Qinglong Mountain." Zhao Zhenfan said directly without even getting off the car.

    Liu Guodong's face tightened, and he put away his smile and asked solemnly: "Senate, what's the matter? The front line can't withstand it anymore?"

    "No, I will tell you the combat mission when you get there, so hurry up and execute the order!" Zhao Zhenfan said.

    "Yes!" Liu Guodong didn't say much, stood up and saluted, and watched Zhao Zhenfan leave in the car.

    Liu Guodong turned around and shouted: "Correspondent, please inform Wu Chengfeng immediately and order him to come to the regiment headquarters immediately. This order is extremely urgent and must be executed immediately without delay!"

    "But, regimental commander, Commander Wu and the others are no longer guarding the Huolinhe Coal Mine?" the adjutant asked.

    "Stand still, this is the order of the master. There must be a big battle." After Liu Guodong said it, he felt something was wrong and added: "Let's let Crazy Wu leave some weapons for the miners.  They formed a temporary garrison just in case.”

    "yes!"

    ??……the Second Battalion Headquarters of the Huolinhe Coal Mine Garrison Regiment.

    "What did you say? The regiment leader asked us to go to the regiment headquarters to be on standby?" Wu Chengfeng looked at the communications soldier in surprise.

    "Yes, the regimental commander also said that this order is extremely urgent and needs to be executed immediately without delay." The communications soldier nodded.

    "Damn it, it seems that the leader is serious about it. Did the leader say what the mission is?" Wu Chengfeng did not forget to ask.

    "No."

    "Okay, pass my order, the whole camp must assemble!" Wu Chengfeng stood up and ordered.

    ???…………………Qinglongshan Du1i Division 7o2 Regiment Headquarters.

    Deputy division commander Huang Xiansheng was discussing military situation with Wang Yicai, Du Ting and others in front of the map.

    Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside. Huang Xiansheng turned around when he heard the sound and saw Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan striding in.

    The two guards standing outside the regiment headquarters were saluting him.

    "Chief of Staff, why are you here?" Huang Xiansheng greeted with some surprise.

    "Take a seat!" Wang Yicai and Du Ting came in and saluted.

    After Zhao Zhenfan responded to them, he said to Huang Xiansheng: "Brother Jing Zhong, you didn't receive the telegram from Master, did you?"

    "A telegram order, what telegram order?" Huang Xiansheng looked back at Wang Yicai and the others and shook his head.

    Zhao Zhenfan took out a piece of telegram from his arms, handed it to him and said, "You guys have a look."

    Huang Xiansheng received the telegram with doubts. After reading it with Wang Yicai, his face gradually became serious, and he frowned and said: "Guoping, do you think the teacher is taking too many risks now?"

    "How can I say this? Since the September 18th Incident, Master has always taken risks in every battle, and has not always completed seemingly impossible battles, creating miracles again and again." Zhao Zhenfan said it honestly.  .

    Huang Xiansheng nodded unequivocally, and then said: "Since Master has made up his mind, we as subordinates should fully cooperate and implement it."

    "Well, you guys prepare here first, the airport guard camp, Liu Guodong's guard group will arrive before dark." Zhao Zhenfan said: "I'll go to the 7o4 regiment to make arrangements first."

    "Well, Zhang Shixian is your old subordinate, so it's perfect for you to go." Huang Xiansheng and Wang Yicai sent Zhao Zhenfan out of the command post.

    ???……………Inside the temporary field headquarters of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

    Division Commander Terauchi Juichimasa and Chief of Staff Toshiko Ando toasted and drank.

    "Youxi, Mr. An Teng, our air force and a large number of reinforcements have arrived in Dalian. Sujiatun has been recaptured by the imperial army, and the Chinese army fled in panic.

    Soon, the Hunhe River Railway Bridge will be open to traffic. By then, the Imperial Army's logistical supplies and reinforcements will continue to move to the front line. By then, we willIt will be easy to break through the Qinglong Mountain defense line of the Chinese Army.  "Shouyi in the temple was very proud of himself.

    "What the general said is absolutely true. I seem to have seen the imperial army's flag flying over Tongliao!" Ando Toshiko echoed.

    "Hahaha, Yoxi, Yoxi, come and drink!" Temple Shouichi laughed wildly with pride and raised his glass.

    Ando Toshiko quickly raised a toast to greet them, and drank both of them in one gulp. Immediately after drinking, he began to drink incessantly and imagined the beautiful scene after breaking through the Qinglong Mountain defense line and entering Tongliao.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 158: The Great Victory of Tongliao

    That afternoon, we were near Changsheng Town, about 25 kilometers away from Qinglong Mountain.  Zhang Xinghan led his more than 5,000 mobile assault troops to arrive here after several hours of rapid march at full speed.  "Master, why did you stop?" Liu Jianguo, the leader of the 701st Regiment, found Zhang Xinghan and asked.  "The order I gave to all the troops in the division is to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army at five o'clock tomorrow morning. All we have to do is arrive at the designated position tonight. There is enough time. Let's wait here for Li Du and Feng Zhanhai's troops until they arrive.  After that, we will join forces and head to Qinglong Mountain," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yeah." Liu Jianguo nodded and said, "Then I'll go on an inspection tour." "Jianguo, wait." Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered something and stopped him.  "Master, do you have any other instructions?" Liu Jianguo turned around and asked.  "You go back and sort out the Japanese weapons we captured. When General Li Du and others arrive, try to change their clothes and equip them with as many light and heavy machine guns and other automatic firearms as possible." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, I'll do it right away." Liu Jianguo nodded and strode away.  Zhang Xinghan walked to a woods, put a cigarette in his mouth, took out his crotch, and started to drink water. He almost held it in for the entire ride, and his balls really hurt.  "Master!" Zhang Xinghan was just releasing water when Shen Xingye suddenly shouted from behind.  He was so frightened that he almost peed on his pants. After lifting his pants, Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Shen Xingye walking over quickly with a hurried look on his face.  "What's wrong, Yizhi?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Master, Zhao Long and his second platoon captured a woman." Shen Xingye whispered.  "Woman, what woman?" Zhang Xinghan looked at Shen Xingye in confusion. Everyone in the reconnaissance company was an elite, and they should not be able to make low-level mistakes.  "She is not an ordinary person." Shen Xingye said mysteriously: "Master, she is Su Hanyun, the one who assassinated you. In the base area, you had no choice but to let her go because of the face of the gcd and your brother. This wilderness  It's bad luck for her to meet her. How about I let Zhao Long shoot her? No matter what, she wanted to kill you." "Why is she here?" Zhang Xinghan was confused.  , was also a little moved by Shen Xingye's words, leaving aside his relationship with Zhang Xinghua.  I am a time traveler myself, and what I value most is my own life safety. This is the absolute bottom line.  Only if you can survive can you possibly change or prevent the tragic history of the Chinese nation.  Therefore, when someone threatens his life, Zhang Xinghan will never show mercy.  It’s just that Su Hanyun is a special case. At that time, she was used to pass the news of her death to the traitors and then to the ears of the Japanese.  In addition, her relationship with her brother Zhang Xinghua was extraordinary. In order not to make his brother sad and not arouse the hostility of gd, he had no choice but to acquit her with a magnanimous attitude.  However, as Shen Xingye said, there is no one in the wilderness. Even if she is executed secretly, no one will know about it. More people will only blame the Japanese for this.  From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xinghan disapproved of his younger brother Zhang Xinghan and Su Hanyun being too close.  Because he knows that being an agent is a dangerous profession and generally does not end well.  Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan made up his mind and said: "Where is she? I will deal with her myself." "In the grove not far behind, Zhao Long and his men have already spotted her." Shen Xing  Ye pointed to the back of the team and said.  "Lead the way." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Not long after the meeting, Zhang Xinghan was led by Shen Xingye to the grove.  Before entering, I heard a sound of retching coming from inside.  Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye were slightly startled and couldn't help but speed up their pace.  "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" Su Hanyun sat on a fallen dead tree, stopped retching, and looked at Zhao Long and his men with some fear in her eyes.  Shen Xingye's reconnaissance company was secretly formed. Except for the company commander Shen Xingye and Su Hanyun, she didn't know any of the other members.  After Cao Binghua was executed yesterday, Su Hanyun, who knew she might be pregnant, said goodbye to Cao Xingwen and was planning to find a way to return to Tongliao to tell Zhang Xinghua the news of her pregnancy and meet him by the way.  "It was only because the army and the Japanese were fighting fiercely on the front line of Qinglong Mountain, and the road to Tongliao was almost completely blocked, that she wandered around in this area waiting for an opportunity.  I never expected to meet the ** Division scouts who came here to inquire about the military situation., Zhao Long thought she was acting suspicious and immediately led people to arrest her.  And reported it to Shen Xingye. After Shen Xingye saw clearly that it was Su Hanyun, he hurried to report to Zhang Xinghan without letting her see him.  After all, this woman is not an ordinary person, and she has an inexplicable connection with Master's younger brother. If Shen Xingye wants to get rid of her, he must obtain Zhang Xinghan's consent.  Hearing the footsteps, Su Hanyun quickly turned her head. When she saw that the people coming were Zhang Xinghan and Shen Xingye, she stood up quickly. Just as she was about to speak, she felt nauseated again. She covered her mouth, bent down and began to retching.  Zhang Xinghan saw that her situation was abnormal and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you here?" Su Hanyun retched for a while, then raised her head and said, "I'm going to Tongliao to find Xinghua. I have his child." "What?  ? You have his child?" Zhang Xinghan was surprised, and Shen Xingye's expression behind him also changed drastically.  "Yes." Su Hanyun nodded, looked at Zhao Long and others, and said, "Are they all your subordinates?" "Yes, my scouts." Zhang Xinghan replied subconsciously, thoughtfully.  "Can you take me back to Tongliao with you?" Su Hanyun asked.  "Why do you still want to go to Tongliao? Isn't it enough for our master to be assassinated by you once?" Shen Xingye's tone was a little cold.  Su Hanyun opened her mouth, but what she wanted to say remained unsaid. She just stared at Zhang Xinghan, waiting for him to speak.  After a long time, Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked at her with sharp eyes, and said seriously: "Yes, but you have to get married to my brother immediately and live a good life with him from now on." Su Hanyun was a little surprised, and quickly shook her head and said: "This can't be done.  You know, my identity" "Don't use these bullshit as an excuse. As long as you are willing, I can help you settle all this. No one will disturb your life. I hope you can agree.  For yourself and for your and Xinghua's child, he is the blood of our Zhang family! Therefore, you must agree," Zhang Xinghan waved his hand impatiently and interrupted.  At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing finally arrived with their troops. Taking advantage of the break, Zhang Xinghan asked Liu Jianguo to hand over all the weapons and equipment prepared for them.  Basically, the equipment of Li Du and Feng Zhanhai was replaced, especially the number of light and heavy machine guns, which was greatly increased.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan prepared a batch of gas masks for them.  After the change of clothes was completed, Zhang Xinghan summoned Li Du, and Feng Zhanhai, Liu Jianguo, Sabuli and others began to assign combat tasks to them.  Several people gathered around a battle map. Zhang Xinghan held a flashlight and illuminated the map, making gestures and saying to everyone: "I have ordered my chief of staff and deputy division commander to quietly gather all the troops of our ** division to Qinglong Mountain. Tomorrow morning at five.  At 6 o'clock, all the fighter bombers of our flying brigade will be dispatched to launch fierce air attacks on the three divisions of the Japanese army. At the same time, the artillery group of our ** division will also launch bombardment and artillery bombardment on the Japanese army until six o'clock.  Hours of intense air raids and bombings are enough for the little devils to drink. Then our artillery regiment and the air force will launch air-dropped poison gas bombs at the Japanese divisions. At this time, we will take the armored company as the leader, followed by the cavalry, and the infantry.  Then follow up and take the opportunity to attack the Japanese army. At the same time, the main force of our ** division will attack the Japanese army from the front. Under such two attacks, the Japanese army will definitely be defeated. "Liu Jianguo and Sabli and others.  People have seen the power of poison gas bombs, and they are convinced by Lian Lian. Li Du and Feng Zhanhai are a little worried, saying: "General Zhang, the Japanese army has three divisions and more than 60,000 people, which is twice our total strength.  More than half, is this possible? " "Brother Zhichu, brother Shoushan, please believe me, I will not make fun of the lives of the 20,000 soldiers of our army." Zhang Xinghan said seriously: "If we win this battle.  , Tomorrow is the day when your brothers will become famous all over the world, and it is also the time for your department to avenge its reputation. The success or failure of the battle of Tongliao depends on this. I hope that all my colleagues will fight hard and make this immortal contribution to the country and the nation!"  At three o'clock, Zhang Xinghan, Li Du and others led their troops into the predetermined area quietly, and formed a strategic encirclement with the main force of the Japanese division against the three Japanese divisions.  Shen Xingye and his elite reconnaissance company have been busy since early morning, secretly killing the Japanese scouts and clearing the way for the troops to form an encirclement.  Two hours passed quickly, and the sky was already gray and slowly starting to dawn.  When Zhang Xinghan’s watch showed five o’clock, a deafening roar of aircraft engines came from behind Qinglong Mountain.  At the same time, on Qinglong Mountain, each regiment directlyThe large and small artillery pieces of the artillery and artillery regiments directly under the ** division roared.  Zhang Xinghan and the others could vaguely see a ball of fire rising into the sky in front of them, flying towards the Japanese position.  Immediately afterwards there was a huge deafening explosion, and as the bombers dropped bombs, even bigger explosions sounded one after another.  The sky-high fire caused by the explosion could be clearly seen for tens of miles away, and it was so dazzling. Li Du and Feng Zhanhai could even feel the ground beneath their feet shaking faintly, and they were quite shocked. The air force bombing power of the ** division was so powerful.  ?

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 159: The Great Victory of Tongliao

    On the position of the 5th Division, most of the Japanese troops who were sleeping were confused when they were suddenly shelled and bombed. However, there were no major mistakes. Most of the Japanese troops were inside the fortifications.  They clutched their heads tightly and hid in the fortifications. The experienced Japanese soldiers even leaned on the ground with their hands and lay in the trenches.  Captain Honjima, who was lucky enough to survive repeated attacks, was even more alert this time. When he was awakened by the sound of the engines of the Japanese Air Force, he ducked into an air-raid shelter next to him.  Compared with the subordinates on the battlefield, the headquarters of the 5th Division was in chaos. Terauchi Juichi, who had been drunk with Chief of Staff Rikichi Ando last night, was so shocked that he almost rolled off the camp bed.  Fortunately, he was supported by the adjutant and the captain of the division's security squadron who came to report the news. Then he dragged his sleepy body and hid in the air-raid shelter dug by his subordinates with great effort.  Before entering the cave, Juichi Terauchi came to his senses and roared to the adjutant: "Immediately send a power to the Kwantung Army headquarters and request the aviation force to be sent for air support immediately." ………………… On the position of the 1st Division  , similar to the 5th Division, most of the Japanese in the 1st Division were terrified and hiding in the trench fortifications, not daring to show their faces at all.  The only thing better than the 5th Division is that the 1st Division has a lot more air-raid shelters. This is the result of the insistence of the division commander Lin Xianzhi.  At this moment, many Japanese lives of the 1st Division were saved.  The division headquarters of Lin Xianzhi, commander of the 1st Division, is built semi-embedded behind a mound. As long as it is not directly hit by an aerial bomb, it is generally very safe.     at this time.  Lin Xianzhi was also awakened by the sudden air strikes and shelling.  "Why are the Chinese people so crazy? They launched such a fierce aerial bombing and artillery attack at dawn?" Lin Xianzhi said to Chief of Staff Asano Yuto, either talking to himself or asking questions.  Colonel Asano Yuto shook his head and said: "It is impossible to guess what the Chinese people want to do." "Order all troops to prepare for an attack no matter what!" Lin Xianzhi ordered.  "Hai!" Yuuto Asano lowered his head suddenly, then walked towards the phone with a saber in his hand, and picked up the phone: "Missi Missi" ……………………………… The Air Force of the ** Division  and artillery conducted a fierce bombing of three Japanese divisions for an hour. At this moment, the Japanese aviation force was halfway on the road.  Almost plowed the defensive positions of the three Japanese divisions back and forth several times.  Fire and gunpowder smoke were everywhere south of Qinglong Mountain. Within ten minutes, the artillery of the ** Division fired again, but this time they fired not high-explosive bombs, but gas bombs that only sounded but did not explode.  The air force also left and returned.  While the smoke was still lingering, they began to throw a large number of poison gas bombs.  In the headquarters bunker of the 1st Division, Lin Xianzhi listened to the sharp and harsh air strikes and bombings and the deafening sound of artillery sounds outside again.  Lin Xianzhi's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "On Bagaya Road, the Chinese are bullying others too much. When will the Royal Air Force arrive?" "A large number of Imperial Air Force is on the way, and it is expected that at most half of them will arrive.  We'll be there in an hour, General, please be patient!" Chief of Staff Asano Yuto said.  Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the sky above their headquarters, "俅" Yuuto Asano's expression changed drastically.  He quickly stepped forward and threw Lin Xianzhi down and shouted: "Division commander, be careful!" However, it was beyond Lin Xianzhi and Asano Yuuto's expectations.  An aerial bomb landed at the entrance of their headquarters by coincidence, but it did not explode.  When Lin Xianzhi and Asano Yuuto got up to find out, they were horrified to find that a stream of auburn smoke had already poured in from the headquarters.  "Baga! It's poisonous gas!" Lin Xianzhi was horrified and quickly covered his nose and ran outside.  Chief of Staff Asano Yuuto also changed his expression drastically, and hurriedly ran out with his breath taken away. However, when they ran out of the headquarters, they made a desperate discovery.  The guards outside have all been enveloped by the poisonous gas, and some are already frothing at the mouth, convulsing and falling to the ground due to poisoning.  Neither Yuuto Asano nor Senyuki Hayashi are gods, nor are they professional divers.  They are unable to stop breathing for an extended period of time.  After running out, the two of them soon inhaled the poison gas to varying degrees, and soon the poison began to develop.  Fortunately, the captain of the baggage alliance soon sent them gas masks in time, which prevented the two from being poisoned.  However, the other Japanese officers and soldiers of the 1st Division were not so lucky. The gas masks under the jurisdiction of the baggage regiment could no longer be distributed to the front-line troops in time during this chaos.  Compared with the 1st Division.  The 5th Division was even worse. They were already heavily killed by the air and ground firepower of the ** Division. They suffered heavy losses and were suddenly attacked by poison gas bombs.  A large number of Japanese soldiers were poisoned.  Even those who have always been very luckyThe captain of the island was not spared this time. He was hiding in the air-raid shelter and was poisoned to death by the dense poisonous gas before he could even get out of the air-raid shelter.  The commander of the 5th Division, Juichi Terauchi, and the chief of staff, Toshiyoshi Ando, ??had slightly better luck. The aerial bombs dropped by the ** Division and the poison gas bombs fired by the artillery were still quite far away from their hiding places.  By the time the poisonous gas filled the air, they had already fled in panic and escaped in advance.  As for the 11th Division, because the current division commander, Taro Taro, is an idiot, his performance is even worse. The fifty-four-year-old Taro Taro values ??his own life more.  Therefore, when the shelling and bombing of the ** division just started, he handed over the task of staying behind to his chief of staff, and he took a group of guards to hide in the mountains and forests behind the division headquarters.  "Compared with the 1st Division and the 5th Division, the 11th Division is quite different in terms of the quality of its commanders and the individual qualities of its soldiers. They are even incomparable to the 9th Division. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the retired officers and soldiers from the reserve recently, the division has just been established less than two months ago.  Compared with ordinary squadrons, they are well-equipped and well-trained, but compared with a real battle-hardened division, they can only be regarded as a group of recruits who have been fully trained but have not seen blood yet.  .  Although most of the officers at all levels of the army came out of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, those who actually experienced the Russo-Japanese War more than 20 years ago have already been promoted to high positions.  Most of the middle and low-level officers are recent graduates from military academies.  Due to various factors, when the 11th Division was subjected to repeated violent bombings by the ** Division, it suffered heavy casualties, the morale of the troops fluctuated, and their morale plummeted.  When the poison gas attack by the ** division was carried out for about ten minutes.  On Qinglong Mountain, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers from the 702nd and 704th regiments, as well as the garrison regiment and airport ** battalion, put on gas masks and carried weapons, rushed out of the fortifications and launched a full-line attack on the Japanese army from the front.  "Little devil, your grandfather Wu Chengfeng is here!" The Second Battalion of the garrison regiment, led by its leader Wu Chengfeng, charged at full speed, almost the best in the entire division.  Wu Chengfeng personally held a general-purpose machine gun, and his body was covered with ammunition chains. He took the lead, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers in his unit. They followed closely behind and accelerated the charge.  "Attack!" Zhang Xinghan gave the order, and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles from the armored company that had been waiting for a long time started to roar towards the rear of the Japanese army.  "Kill!" Sabli raised his saber high and shouted sharply.  "Kill!" Nearly three thousand cavalrymen behind them raised their swords in response, shouting loudly and mobilizing their horses, vowing to follow them to the death!  The charging group composed of thousands of cavalry was as dark as the tide, with swaying horse heads and galloping hooves. The bright swords formed a forest of swords, filled with endless chilling atmosphere.  "Brothers, the time has come to avenge the past, charge forward and destroy little Japan!" Feng Zhanhai suddenly stood up and roared while holding a crooked light machine gun. After saying this, he took the lead and rushed forward.  Behind him, thousands of Jilin rescuers and soldiers jumped to their feet, following him and rushing forward with the assault troops of the Army Division.  Guo Zhong rushed forward with the guard battalion, leaving only Shen Xingye's reconnaissance company beside Zhang Xinghan responsible for guarding a large number of military vehicles.  Behind the 1st Division position, division commander Lin Xianzhi and chief of staff Yuto Asano, who had already put on gas masks, had just evacuated to a safe area under the escort of surviving guards.  Suddenly, there was a sound of killing in the direction of Qinglong Mountain. Lin Xianzhi hurriedly ordered: "Quick, order the troops to attack with all their strength. We must block the Chinese attack. Hurry! Coughcoughcough" Obviously, Lin Xianzhi  He was already quite poisoned, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough violently.  In fact, Lin Xianzhi felt very uncomfortable at the moment, and an unbearable nausea was constantly tormenting him.  "Division Commander, there is poison gas everywhere, and the regiments may not be able to stop it!" Chief of Staff Yuto Asano said with a sad face.  "Baga!" Lin Xianzhi slapped Asano Yuuto angrily, threw the gas mask in his hand to him, and said sternly: "Go right away, you will personally command the troops!" "Hai!" Asano Yuuto  He had no choice but to lower his head and answer, put on a gas mask, and returned to the position full of poisonous gas.  However, once he left, he never came back. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??????  This place has long been under intensive care by the air force and artillery of the ** Division. Most of the Japanese on the front line were killed by bombs or poison gas bombs.  Only some of the poisoned remnants of the defeated generals are still resisting.  Wu Chengfeng held a machine gun and swept through it, killing all the wounded Japanese soldiers. He ran into the Japanese position as fast as flying and passed the first enemy.He walked through the trenches and continued to rush forward with his men.  Most of the charging ** division officers and soldiers used submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns to clear the way. When encountering resistance, they went up and fired fiercely.  Some riflemen with accurate marksmanship also squatted down and fired a few shots from time to time, specifically to accurately attack the remaining Japanese machine gunners.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 160: The Great Victory of Tongliao

    On a horizontal battlefield that stretches for nearly two kilometers, a large number of officers and soldiers of the ** Division wearing gas masks have successively broken into the positions of the Japanese 1st, 5th, and 11th Divisions.  The Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses, was desperately organizing its forces to stop them. However, at this moment, the rapid assault force composed of the armored company and the cavalry regiment of the Japanese division stabbed into the rear of the Japanese like a sharp blade.  A large number of Jilin rescue infantry followed, followed by cavalry and tanks and armored vehicles, and launched a fierce attack on the unprepared Japanese army.  The Japanese army, which was already troubled by the poison gas and fell into chaos, was immediately thrown into chaos and became even more chaotic under the attack from the front and rear of the squadron.  At this time, the Japanese air force reinforcements arrived, but on the ground battlefield, the Chinese army had already broken into the positions of each division, and the entire battlefield situation was already in a criss-cross state.  Without clear instructions, it is naturally impossible for Japanese pilots to directly carry out indiscriminate bombing attacks.  Before the Japanese Air Force could hesitate for long, dozens of Zero fighters and BF109 fighters from the ** Division took off one after another and flew over.  The two sides immediately launched a fierce air battle. Over the battlefield, fighter planes shuttled for a while, and dense machine guns and machine gun bullets rained down like rain, almost covering the sky and the sun. It was very spectacular.  On the ground, nearly 100,000 Chinese and Japanese troops were already fighting together.  The well-equipped Chinese army with strong firepower and the cooperation of cavalry and armored troops was invincible. Most of the poisoned Japanese troops were vulnerable to a single blow.  One to ten, or even more battle damage ratios are happening everywhere.  From time to time, Japanese planes were destroyed in the sky, spinning and falling like kites with broken strings, emitting thick black smoke.  The battle in the air lasted less than half an hour.  The Japanese fleet suffered heavy losses and fled in panic.  The battle on the ground lasted for more than two hours. The Japanese divisions, which had suffered more than half of their casualties, finally could no longer resist, and the defense lines were completely broken through, and they began to break out in all directions.  Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered all units of the Army Division and the Jilin Rescue Corps to launch a comprehensive pursuit.  At the same time, the Air Force also sent bombers and fighter jets to continuously bomb and straf the Japanese troops who broke through and escaped.  The pursuit continued until dark. More than 20,000 infantry, cavalry and armored troops from the Army Division and the Jilin Rescue Army pursued them from Qinglong Mountain to Zhangwu County before they stopped commanding and returned in triumph.  The Japanese 1st, 5th, and 11th divisions were almost completely wiped out, and all the baggage, artillery and other directly affiliated troops were lost.  More than two-thirds of the main force units were killed or missing in action, and some were even worse.  Some teams, including the team leader, are all in pieces.  There were more than 60,000 people in the three divisions before the expedition. At this time, less than 10,000 people were left. The rest were all wiped out by the Japanese division because the Japanese division never wanted Japanese prisoners.  ……………………………… Dalian Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "Your Excellency, General, the 1st, 5th, and 11th divisions were completely defeated. Each imperial army lost more than two-thirds and has completely lost its combat effectiveness." Ishihara Wanji lowered his head and reported to Nanjiro with a miserable expression.  Rao was already mentally prepared.  Nanjiro couldn't help but stood up and said in a trance: "This, how is this possible?" When he saw Ishihara Wan'er solemnly nodding his head to confirm.  Nanjiro was desperate. He knew that the Kwantung Army had lost more than three divisions during this period of fighting, and he was probably done as commander.  "General, general, what should we do now? Should we report this important battle situation to the base camp?" Ishihara Wanji asked when he saw Nanjiro being silent.  "Report to the base camp?" Nanjiro was suddenly startled.  He looked up at Ishihara Wan'er and finally nodded silently.  ……………………………… Tongliao, ** Division Headquarters.  When the battle situation was determined, Zhang Xinghan, Li Du and others took the lead in returning to Tongliao.  By now, the commanders of each regiment have returned one after another.  Zhang Xinghan asked the cooking team to rush to prepare a table of hot meals.  Having been munching on compressed biscuits and boiled water for many days, Zhang Xinghan’s mouth has already turned pale.  This time, they successfully defeated three Japanese divisions and achieved an unprecedented victory.  Naturally, I want to reward myself and my subordinate officers.  In the war room, Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting at the head of the table, raised his glass and said to everyone: "Brothers, in order to celebrate our unprecedented victory, let's have a drink! Come!" "Do it!" "Do it!" Everyone raised their glasses excitedly.     That night.  Zhang Xinghan, Li Du and other commanders at all levels were all drunk.  Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan was woken up by Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan.  "Guoping, what's going on?" Zhang Xinghan felt a little dizzy and said sleepily as he rubbed his temples.  "Master, the results of the battle have been calculated. In this battle, we annihilated a total of more than 46,000 Japanese troops."Nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers were poisoned and surrendered, but they were all shot down by machine guns from all units.  In terms of seizures, we seized nearly 40,000 rifles, more than 1,000 light and heavy machine guns, as well as a lot of ammunition and small-caliber artillery.  "Zhao Zhenfan reported the report very excitedly. "Well, well done, the whole division has been electrified, and everyone will be rewarded with ten yuan!  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "The division headquarters' funds are quite generous, so we can have this.  " Zhao Zhenfan nodded and suddenly asked: "By the way, master, do we need to telegraph victory to Nan Jin?" "Of course, but not to Nanjing, but to the whole country and the whole world to announce that our ** division is here.  Tongliao has achieved an unprecedented victory. I want the people of the country to know that the Northeast will never fall unless I, Zhang Xinghan, die!  "Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment. He then said: "As for the content of the message, it can be slightly modified. The battle results report should include the number of enemies we killed in Sujiatun, Zhangwu, Xinmin and other places.  " "Yes, I'll do it right now.  "Zhao Zhenfan accepted the order happily. ……………………… As soon as the news of Zhang Xinghan’s victory came out, the whole country was excited, and no one could believe it was true. Countless compatriots who thought Zhang Xinghan was dead were excited, and the national hero in their hearts was still  Today, the heroic army that resisted the Japanese army outside the pass is still there. Countless people rushed to cry out. For a time, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the entire Chinese people reached an unprecedented height, and Zhang Xinghan's personal reputation also reached a new height.  Has vaguely surpassed Principal Jiang. Nanjing, Jiang Gong’s residence. Principal Jiang had already learned immediately that Zhang Xinghan led his troops to defeat 60,000 enemies. However, what made Principal Jiang a little surprised and angry was that Zhang Xinghan did not.  He was the first to send a message of victory to himself, but directly sent a message of victory to the whole country and even the world without permission. "Chairman, how should we react to the great victory achieved by Zhang Xinghan's troops in Tongliao?" In Chiang Kai-shek's conference room, Shi  Chen Cheng, who served as General Commander of the 18th Army and was a close confidant of Jiang Zhi, asked, “Generate electricity, reward!  "Principal Jiang only said four words. "" Three days later, the Japanese base camp officially issued a new order to revoke Nanjiro's position as commander of the Kwantung Army and transfer him back to the country. "At the same time, the Japanese Army's 3rd, No.  4. The 7th, 8th, and 10th Divisions also landed in Dalian one after another. The Japanese base camp instructed the above-mentioned divisions to station in Shenyang, Xinmin, Zhangwu and other places respectively. The 14th Division also reoccupied Siping of Tieling, and the troops were in a straight line.  It means that the Changchun, 9th, 12th, 1st, 5th, and 11th divisions were immediately transferred back to the country for reinforcements. In view of the Kwantung Army's repeated defeats at the hands of the Japanese division, the Japanese base camp and the military headquarters decided to pick up the weak first.  Persimmon is to capture the entire three northeastern provinces except Tongliao, and then concentrate on dealing with Zhang Xinghan's army.  Northeastern Army and Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces Of course, all this will not be implemented until the arrival of the new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi.  In an emergency to recruit new troops to replenish battle losses, the ** division also suffered one-third casualties, including more than 3,000 killed. Li Du and Feng Zhanhai led their troops to bid farewell to Zhang Xinghan two days ago because the Japanese army was approaching Siping.  Returned to Changchun. In order to strengthen their combat power and form a rivalry with him, Zhang Xinghan specially presented 10,000 rifles, hundreds of machine guns and dozens of artillery pieces as gifts to Li Du and others before they left.  The ammunition was given to Jilin to save the army. After this great victory, the fame of Zhang Xinghan and his army once again spread across the land of China. Countless enthusiastic young students abandoned their studies and rushed to Tongliao, signing up to join the army in order to serve the country.  After visiting her parents at home, Su Hanyun had already met Zhang Xinghua. With their parents’ consent, the two agreed to get married in half a month, and Su Hanyun temporarily stayed at Zhang’s house. “Xinghan, I came to see you today because I have something to ask of you.  help.  "On the street of Tongliao Town, Wang Ruoying was wearing a tight black leather jacket and a gray scarf, holding Zhang Xinghan's hand affectionately. Zhang Xinghan put one hand in his pocket, and held a cigarette in the other hand and turned to look at her and said  : "Do we still need to beg for anything? Just tell me what you want. Except for the stars and the moon in the sky, I can satisfy you."  " "Han Yun's parents are also in Peking. Do you want to send someone to pick them up?" Wang Ruoying asked. "Well, I will ask Shen Xingye to take people to Peking in person in the afternoon.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded without thinking. "Can you ask Adjutant Shen to bring my father back by the way? I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know how he is now.  "Wang Ruoying said sadly."Well, I will tell Shen Xingye about this when I get back." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and nodded.  "Xinghan, you are so kind. When my father comes, shall we get married too?" Wang Ruoying looked forward with a smile on her face.  "Marriage?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  Wang Ruoying turned around and looked at him with big eyes, muttering: "Why, you don't want to marry me?" Zhang Xinghan quickly waved his hand and said: "Of course not, it's just a little too sudden." (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 161: Double Happiness

    "Hmph, I think you have changed your mind. You are now a national hero that everyone respects. I don't know how many young girls want to marry you. How can I be worthy of you?" Wang Ruoying pouted deliberately.  Xiaozui turned his head and hummed.  Zhang Xinghan smiled helplessly, put his arms around her, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? How could I be such a person? No matter what I become, I can swear that for  Your heart will never change. I will only take one scoop of the weak water. Now I just think that after defeating the Japanese and putting our motherland on the right track of prosperity, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests with you and grow old together.  "Old." "Really?" Wang Ruoying said sweetly, "Then let's get married." "Well, when I bring Uncle Wang back from Peking, I will ask him and my father to hold a wedding for us!"  Decide.  The recruitment operation of the ** Division progressed very quickly. In just one week, more than 10,000 new soldiers were recruited.  One-tenth of them are young intellectuals from inside and outside the country.  Zhang Xinghan immediately replenished them into various regiments. The intellectuals selected suitable personnel and replenished them in large numbers into artillery, armored tanks, air force and other units.  These three arms will play a decisive role in future battles and must be carried out coldly.  Especially Li Zhenyuan’s armored company, after this battle, the armored company suffered a lot of losses, and its current size is no longer capable of large-scale battles in the future.  Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Xingye and Cheng Bin had returned from Peiping, and Su Hanyun's parents had successfully taken them back.  Wang Ruoying's father was also successfully rescued.  Although Zhang Xueliang placed Wang Yizhe under house arrest, he did not impose a strict blockade and only restricted some of his freedoms.  In addition, they did not expect that someone would come from thousands of miles away to rescue them. They were caught off guard, and Shen Xingye and others rescued Wang Yizhe easily.  In the past half month, the ** division has recruited more than 20,000 new soldiers, and the armored company has been expanded into an armored regiment.  The Flying Group was also expanded into the ** Division Flying Group, and the number of new pilots exceeded 2,000.  Of course, whether it is an armored regiment or a flying regiment, many recruits are still in training.  It is not yet able to form combat effectiveness.  Because the recruits are still in training, Zhang Xinghan has not replenished the armored regiment with new tanks and armored vehicles for the time being. He plans to wait for them to undergo initial training before uniformly equipping them with new and more advanced tanks and combat vehicles.  Through the Battle of Tongliao, Zhang Xinghan's enemy kill value has accumulated to more than 700,000, and he can replace the troops with many new weapons and equipment.  But right now, Zhang Xinghan has a more important thing to do, which is to get married.  ……………… ** Division Headquarters Today, officers and soldiers of the guard battalion hung up lights and streamers everywhere, and the entire division headquarters was permeated with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.  In Tongliao Town.  In the small courtyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Hong was also honored.  There was even a small suona troupe playing at the door.  For a time, the gongs and drums outside the small courtyard door were noisy and lively.  In the small courtyard, brothers Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghua both wore red robes and hung red flowers on their chests.  Huang Xiansheng, deputy commander of the ** Division, served as the officiant.  "Two groomsmen, it's almost time, go pick up the brides quickly." Huang Xiansheng looked at the sun and said to them with a smile.  The two brothers nodded and walked out of the yard one after another.  Shen Xingye and Guo Zhong drove the military jeep with red stickers in time, and the two brothers each got into the car.  The jeep immediately turned around and drove out of the alley of Zhang's courtyard.  Meet up with the four tricycles with the same red stickers that have been waiting for a long time. There are two men playing suona on each tricycle.  Two motorcycles are in the front, two military Jeep wedding cars are in the middle, and two motorcycles are in the back.  Blowing the trumpet and driving towards the division headquarters in a mighty manner.  In Zhang Xinghan’s wedding car, Shen Xingye, who was acting as the driver, lit a cigarette in his mouth and lit some small firecrackers from time to time and quickly threw them out.  Everywhere you go.  The firecrackers were blasting together, which was very lively.  "Master, I have to stay drunk with my brothers today!" Shen Xingye looked particularly excited, turning around and saying while driving.  "How can that be okay? Your sister-in-law is not allowed to hit me later!" Zhang Xinghan was also very happy and said with a smile.  "Hahaha, that's right, I forgot about this, the wedding is still important, we can't neglect my sister-in-law!" Shen Xingye laughed suddenly.  **Zhang Xinghan's bedroom in the division headquarters has been temporarily transformed into the boudoir of the two brides.  In the boudoir, Wang Ruoying and Su Hanyun were wearing red wedding clothes, and they both playfully held the red hijab in their hands.  At this moment, I am eavesdropping on what is going on outside behind the door.  NoAt this moment, there was a burst of suona sound outside, and then Wang Ruoying heard someone outside shouting: "The master is here, the master is here to welcome the bride!" "They are here, hurry up, cover it quickly." Wang Ruoying was a little in a hurry.  urging.  By the time the two of them put on their red headscarves, the door had already been pushed open to pick up the bride.  The division's guards and communications soldiers were all crowded into the war room at this moment, looking at the somewhat bewildered Zhang Xinghan brothers.  Shen Xingye took the lead in shouting: "Master, please carry my sister-in-law and pick her up, right brothers?" "Yes, give me a hug, give me a hug!" The surrounding communications soldiers and guards echoed.  "Okay! Then let's get in the car!" Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily, stepped forward and shouted: "Ruoying, come with me." Wang Ruoying, who was sitting on the right, nodded lightly, and Zhang Xinghan stepped forward.  He picked her up by the waist and walked out laughing.  Because Su Hanyun was pregnant, Zhang Xinghua just held her hand and walked slowly outside.  When the two newlyweds got on the car, the wedding team began to return to the Zhang family courtyard. After paying their respects as usual, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.  Zhang Xinghan accompanied his officers to drink until evening, then stumbled into his new house.  Wang Ruoying had been waiting for a long time. When she heard the footsteps, she quickly put the red hijab on her head.  However, not long after, there was a muffled thud.  Wang Ruoying didn't see Zhang Xinghan coming over to lift her red hijab.  In the end, she couldn’t wait any longer. She raised her hand and lifted the red hijab, and saw a scene that made her dumbfounded.  Zhang Xinghan was lying drunkenly on the threshold and actually fell asleep. It was obvious that he had tripped just now.  Wang Ruoying was angry and ashamed, took off her red hijab, walked over and tried her best to lift Zhang Xinghan up, and dragged her back to the bed.  Carefully, she went to get a basin of hot water, wiped Zhang Xinghan briefly, and took off his shoes.  Washed his feet.  Finally, he covered Zhang Xinghan with a quilt, blew out the lamp, and slept next to Zhang Xinghan.  After all this work, Wang Ruoying was already a little tired. She fell asleep not long after lying down, and didn't even have time to take off her wedding clothes.  After a speechless night, Zhang Xinghan woke up habitually in the early morning of the next day and just wanted to get up.  But I felt like there was someone lying in my arms.  Looking down, I saw Wang Ruoying lying on her side like a bird.  Maybe it was because it was too cold last night, but at this moment, her delicate body was slightly arched close to him, sleeping very soundly.  Looking at her smooth and fair cheeks, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead gently.  Unexpectedly, this kiss woke Wang Ruoying up.  Her long eyelashes trembled, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened. With her sleepy eyes, her little mouth was slightly raised, making her look very endearing.  "Are you awake?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "Yeah." Wang Ruoying lowered her head and said softly with a blush on her cheeks.  "Well, I drank too much last night. I'm sorry." Zhang Xinghan said apologetically.  "No, it's okay." Wang Ruoying said and suddenly raised her head and said: "By the way, Xinghan, are you hungry? I'll make breakfast for you." "I'm not hungry." Zhang Xinghan felt her sincere concern that was beyond words,  Feeling warm in his heart, he reached out and hugged her tightly.  "Ruoying. I love you." She said softly: "Ruoying." Wang Ruoying's heart was pounding, her cheeks were hot, she buried her head in Zhang Xinghan's arms, and said softly: "I love you, too." She received Wang Ruoying's response.  Zhang Xinghan began to kiss her pink neck, which was as white as a swan.  Wang Ruoying felt as if her body was being stabbed by electricity, and an unbearable numbness quickly spread throughout her body.  As Zhang Xinghan went deeper, her delicate body couldn't help but twist.  Zhang Xinghan quickly took off their clothes and entered her body, making the whole room feel happy.  ……………………………… Newly married Yaer, a moment worth a thousand dollars, but Zhang Xinghan did not nostalgic. One was that he was afraid that his wife was for the first time and could not bear his body.  At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan came to the division headquarters.  Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan greeted them with smiles. Huang Xiansheng was the first to joke: "Xinghan, why did you come to the division headquarters today? Why don't you stay at home to spend time with your brothers and sisters?" "I thought the master stayed up too late last night, but why don't you come to the division today?"  I need to get some sleep, I didn’t expect to come so early.” “Haha, I have military affairs in hand, how dare I betray the public?” Zhang Xinghan smiled and said immediately: “By the way, brother Guoping, how are the arrangements for the new recruits?  "At present, the four main regiments and the cavalry regiment have been replenished to the pre-war quota. The remaining more than 10,000 recruits, more than 1,000 have been incorporated into the flying regiment, and more than 2,000 have been incorporated into the armored regiment. Currently, there are still more than 10,000 new recruits.  The remaining eight thousand recruits will be temporarily trained by the garrison regiment," Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile.  &nbsp"It's time to expand our troops again. We will immediately summon the heads of each regiment to the division headquarters for a meeting." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said.  "Okay, I'll send someone to notify you right away." Zhao Zhenfan nodded and responded.  At this time, Shen Xingye walked in mysteriously, walked to Zhang Xinghan and whispered in his ear: "Master, there is a man who calls himself Jiang Baili and asks to see you." "What? Who are you talking about?" Zhang Xinghan heard this.  Yan was shocked and could not react for a moment.  "Jiang Baili." Shen Xingye repeated.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly became excited, grabbed Shen Xingye's shoulders and asked eagerly: "You said it was Jiang Baili? Where is he now?" "He was controlled by my scouts, in Toyota Town on the west bank of the Liao River." Shen Xingye Jianghu  Of course, I don’t know who Jiang Baili is.  But Zhang Xinghan knew that he was undoubtedly the number one military strategist of the Republic of China, but he never had the opportunity to display his ambitions, and eventually died young due to illness.  His treatise on national defense served as the strategic guidance for the war of resistance in China’s theaters during World War II.  "Invite him to come see me quickly." Zhang Xinghan said excitedly: "No, prepare the car immediately, I want to go and greet you in person."  I would also like to thank: Lei Nana, aa A Liang, Quanchengren, Sword☆Hero, The Reckless Soldier, Lao Wang Arthur, Watermelon Caimao, Ming Yu, Shuyou 130717150707559, Kongming Xiaoxi, Last Night.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 162: New Northeastern Army

    Shen Xingye didn't know who Jiang Baili was, and it was impossible for Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan to know who he was. Their expressions also changed drastically, and they were extremely surprised.  Huang Xiansheng said immediately: "Master, I will go with you to greet Mr. Jiang." "I will go too," Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Well, that's fine, let's go together to show our respect!" Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement.  At that moment, the four people walked out one after another, got into a military jeep, and headed straight to Toyota Town.  Jiang Baili was dressed in military uniform at this time. This was obviously done deliberately to attract the attention of the Tongliao defenders.  Sure enough, when he first arrived at the boundary of Toyota Town, he was discovered by the scouts wandering around in this generation, and he was immediately detained in military uniform.  During the interrogation of the scouts, Jiang Baili told his name without being humble or overbearing, and said that your master would definitely invite me to tea.  Seeing that he spoke unusually and behaved differently than an ordinary person, the scout quickly reported the situation to Shen Xingye.  This is what happened before.  Zhang Xinghan and others drove across the Xiliao River Bridge in a jeep and soon arrived at Toyota Town. Shen Xingye drove straight to the place where Jiang Baili was detained.  Before the car stopped, Zhang Xinghan jumped out. This was an uninhabited hut that was temporarily requisitioned by the reconnaissance company as a stronghold in Toyota Town for rest, communication, and guard changes.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan arrived at the door, the two scouts guarding the door raised their hands in salute.  Zhang Xinghan didn't care to give them a gift in return, so he couldn't fight and walked in, shouting: "Where is Mr. Baili?" Jiang Baili had already heard the sound of the car, and when he saw Zhang Xinghan pushed the door open and entered.  When calling his name.  Still slightly startled, he did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would be so impatient to come to greet him in person, nor did he expect that Zhang Xinghan was younger than in the photo.  "Are you Mr. Baili?" Zhang Xinghan looked Jiang Baili up and down and asked in a respectful tone.  "That's right, who are you?" Jiang Baili asked knowingly.  Zhang Xinghan quickly saluted to show his respect and said: "Mr. Jiang, I, Zhang Xinghan, am currently the commander of the Tongliao ** Division. I have admired your name for a long time. I met you today. It is a lifetime comfort!" "It turns out to be the famous anti-Japanese hero General Zhang, Bailiyi  Ordinary people, generals have won several great victories, served the country and become famous all over the world, why would Baili do this to him?" Jiang Baili saluted back, somewhat surprised.  Zhang Xinghan said with a serious expression: "Sir, you are too self-effacing. When it comes to bringing glory to the country, you were already famous in Japan when you and General Cai Songpo, who re-established the republic, were studying in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Later, for the sake of national justice, you took the country as your priority.  Serious. He abandoned his personal grievances and went south to fight for Yuan Hu's death. He later became a close friend and supported the coffin for thousands of miles. He showed his true character as a hero. Compared with the generals, Xinghan is far behind!  , It’s all in the past, it’s nothing to worry about. If the invaders invade China today, young and promising people like the general are the pillars of the country and the hope of the nation!” Jiang Baili said with a smile.  At this time, Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan had already walked in. After some polite greetings, Zhang Xinghan said solemnly: "Sir, this is not the place to talk. Please follow Xinghan back to the division headquarters. Brother Jingzhong and Guoping, I and I will greet you, sir."  Wash off the dust." "Well, that's troublesome for you, General." Jiang Baili didn't refuse and immediately walked out side by side with Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan not only asked him to get in the car first.  He even helped him carry his luggage with his own hands, showing the utmost respect.  Jiang Baili was flattered, and his affection for Zhang Xinghan doubled, so he made up his mind to stay and assist him and serve the country.  After returning to the division headquarters, Zhang Xinghan personally poured tea for him, greeted him with greetings, and showed him double respect.  The few people had a great time talking about domestic and international situations, from politics to military affairs. Jiang Baili was particularly surprised by Zhang Xinghan's strategic vision.  Even some of Zhang Xinghan’s ideas had not occurred to him and were unheard of.  For a moment, I felt like we were late to meet each other.  Seeing that the heat had arrived, Zhang Xinghan asked tentatively: "I wonder what your plans are, sir, for coming to Tongliao this time?" Jiang Baili put away his smile, looked at Zhang Xinghan, and said solemnly: "To be honest, Baili is going north to get out of the customs this time.  , The purpose is to serve the country together with the general. If the general does not give up, Baili is willing to serve as a staff officer and use all his life's knowledge to assist the general in defending the Northeast and fighting against the Japanese invaders. " Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and was filled with joy!  He said: "If the Han Dynasty can be revitalized with the help of Mr., we can win a hundred thousand elite soldiers. This will be the blessing of tens of millions of elders in the Northeast."  However, the country is poor and weak, and the people in power are busy with civil war, but no one dares to contend with the Japanese invaders. Seeing the fall of the mountains and rivers, and the loss of sovereignty, I have been heartbroken for a long time. Fortunately, the Northeast has young heroes like you, General. What a great country.  How lucky is the nation?" Jiang Baili responded modestly.Tao.  "Haha, sir, we don't need to compliment each other like this. Let's eat first and talk about it after the military has finished eating." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile when he saw that the cooking team members had walked in with freshly prepared meals.  After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Zhang Xinghan personally took Jiang Baili on a jeep tour to inspect various departments of the ** division.  Including the Qinglong Mountain defense line and battlefield sites, the ** Division Flying Regiment’s station, the garrison’s garrison station, and the Huolinhe Coal Mine.  After visiting all the military bases of the ** Division, Jiang Baili couldn't help but sigh: "I have never seen such an elite division since Baili returned to China. With such an elite division, why should we fear the Japanese pirates from the East?" "  Sir, as you saw just now, I have recruited a new batch of new soldiers. The existing units are already saturated, and I am planning to freeze the formation of the army. I wonder if you have any good suggestions, sir?" Zhang Xinghan asked in person.  "At present, it is impossible for the Nanjing government to give the Nanjing Division a designation and organization. After all, Nanjing does not dare to declare war on the Japanese invaders. From a political level, the Anti-Japanese War of the Nanjing Division is purely a spontaneous organization of border guards and has nothing to do with the Chinese government." Jiang Baili  road.  "Yeah, you're right." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement.  "In this case, the general does not need to stick to the so-called formal establishment and designation. He can organize the officers and soldiers under his command in a unified manner according to the actual situation in the Northeast region. In short, everything must be conducive to command, remove all restrictions, and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.  Maximize it so that your orders can be quickly and thoroughly implemented to the troops at all levels." Jiang Baili paused and continued: "There are not many troops in the general's hands now, so there will be no confusion in the government orders and confusion in the organization.  In the future, as the army continues to become colder, formal unification will become more and more necessary." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and asked: "By the way, Mr. Baili, why do you want me to recruit soldiers on my own?  What do you think of the cold troops?" "For the country and the nation, recruiting troops on your own is a righteous thing, but if you recruit troops for your own selfish desires, it will be a worm that harms the country. However, judging from what the general did on the Northeast battlefield, the general belongs to  The former." Jiang Baili said bluntly.  ………………………… Lushun Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Today, the members of the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun are in particularly high spirits because their new commander, General Nobuyoshi Muto, is about to arrive.  For Muto Nobuyoshi, many Japanese staff officers, adjutants, and correspondents in the Kwantung Army Headquarters were much more welcoming than Nanjiro and Honjo Shige.  Because Muto Nobuyoshi served as the commander of the Kwantung Army five years ago, many senior officers and staff officers in the headquarters naturally have a lot of close respect for this old boss.  Muto Nobuyoshi is 64 years old. He was the last Japanese officer to be promoted to general in the Japanese military during the Taisho period.  This man is taciturn and scheming. In the original history, he commanded the Kwantung Army to invade Jehol, defeated more than 20 divisions of Chinese defenders in the Great Wall area, and marched to the gates of Peking City.  Forcing He Yingqin to sign a humiliating alliance under the city, in fact, isolated the four provinces outside the pass.  It is hailed as the patron saint of Manchuria by the Japanese military circles.  The Japanese base camp re-enabled Nobuyoshi Muto this time because this man had served in the Kwantung Army and had high hopes for him.  Wearing a straight military uniform, Muto Nobuyoshi, accompanied by the new chief of staff, Major General Hashimoto Toranosuke, got out of the car and strode into the Kwantung Army headquarters after an absence of five years.  The Japanese guard guarding the door quickly stood up and saluted.  Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and stepped into the headquarters compound with his saber in hand.  In the yard, the officers and staff of the headquarters headed by Ishihara Kanji and others have been waiting for a long time.  Seeing Muto Nobuyoshi, Ishihara Kanji quickly stepped forward and took the lead in saluting: "General, you have worked hard all the way. I have prepared a room for you." "Are you Ishihara Kanji?" Muto Shinji looked at the man in front of him.  The low-ranking staff officer asked.  "Hai, this is a humble position." Ishihara Wanji suddenly lowered his head and said.  "I'm really surprised that the Kwantung Army has lost two battles and has had two commanders, but you, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, are still safe and sound. How did you do it?" Muto Nobuyoshi said in a joking tone.  road.  When Ishihara Wanji heard this, his face immediately turned red. He wished he could find a hole in the ground and burrowed into the ground. He lowered his head suddenly and said, "General, please give me a chance to make meritorious service. I will definitely fulfill my duties and fully assist the general in his future work." Muto Nobuyoshi then let him go.  , stepped forward.  After entering the war room, Muto Nobuyoshi took off his sword, which was a gift from Emperor Yoshihito, and held it in his hand as a command stick, pointing at the map on the wall. He pondered for a moment, turned around and shouted: "Chief of Staff Hashimoto." "  I have a humble position, what are your orders, General?" Hashimoto Toranosuke hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head.  "With the Kwantung Army Headquarters"In the name of the enemy, immediately send a message to the 4th and 7th Divisions, asking them to march to Jinzhou immediately. They must capture Jinzhou by the end of January and advance the front line to Shanhaiguan!  " Muto Nobuyoshi moved the command knife in his hand, pointed at Changchun and said: "In addition, the 10th, 3rd, and 14th Divisions are ordered to immediately attack Changchun, capture the entire Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, and completely isolate Zhang Xinghan's Tongliao Anti-Japanese Armed Forces.  " "Hai!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and strode away with his saber. (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 163: New Northeastern Army

    Muto Nobuyoshi's strategic goal is very clear, which is to first capture the three provinces of Zhengbei except Tongliao.  As long as Jinzhou is captured and the front is advanced to Shanhaiguan, the Kwantung Army can take the opportunity to attack Rehe. This move is of course intended to cut off Zhang Xinghan's Tongliao Army Division from the interior of the pass.  Muto Nobuyoshi’s order was quickly issued to the main divisions. The 4th and 7th Divisions, which had already moved to the Jinzhou front line, immediately launched an attack on the Jinzhou Northeast Army’s defense line.  The local Northeastern Army immediately counterattacked. The Japanese used aircraft, tanks and artillery as cover to launch several fierce attacks. However, they failed because the Northeastern Army in Jinzhou area tried their best to resist.  News of the Japanese attack on Jinzhou soon spread to Peiping.  Marshal Zhang, who was originally working for Zhang Xinghan to win another victory and sent someone to take away Wang Yizhe, was unhappy when he learned that the Japanese army had invaded Jinzhou.  Fearing that his troops would be eaten by the Japanese, in order to preserve his strength and despite the opposition of the Nanjing government and the people across the country, he secretly ordered Commander He Lichong to abandon Jinzhou and evacuate to Shanhaiguan two days later.  At this point, Marshal Zhang has completely established his reputation as a non-resisting general.  At the same time, one unit each of the Japanese 31014th Division marched from Siping towards Gongzhuling.  At that time, Li Du, Feng Zhanhai, Xing Zhanqing and other troops were reinforced with weapons and ammunition from Zhang Xinghan, and their military strength had been restored.  The two sides started a fierce battle at Gongzhuling. The Japanese army had the advantage and had air fire support. Li Du and other troops suffered heavy losses.  Having no choice but to ask Zhang Xinghan for help.  Tongliao.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others are convening battalion and regiment-level officers of the ** Division to discuss the reorganization and expansion of the army.  Wang Yizhe, the former commander of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, also made an exception to attend the meeting.  While everyone was discussing, Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan walked out of the communications room quickly with a message in hand.  "Master, General Li Du sent an urgent message from Changchun. Three Japanese divisions are attacking Gongzhuling. They have suffered heavy casualties and are asking for our support." As soon as Zhao Zhenfan said this, all the officers of the ** division present were stunned.  Shocked, they all started talking in low voices.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan turned to look at Jiang Baili and Wang Yizhe, and then waved to the battalion-level officers present and said, "Let's break up today's meeting here." Everyone got up and left one after another.  After watching everyone leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng: "There were so many people just now that it was inconvenient to say something. I wonder if you have any opinions on the urgent matter in Changchun?" "Mr. Jiang is a famous military scientist, so please invite me.  Mr. Jiang, please give me your opinion." Wang Yizhe said.  "Yes, I also want to hear Mr. Jiang's opinion." Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement.  Seeing this, Jiang Baili did not refuse, got up and walked towards the map.  Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan followed.  Jiang Baili pointed to the Changchun area on the map and turned to Zhang Xinghan and others: "Please see that the Japanese invaders are now divided into two groups, heading west to Jinzhou and all the way north to Changchun. Zhang Xueliang will not resist, and Changchun's anti-Japanese force is too weak.  The Japanese army can easily capture the above-mentioned areas and open up the road to Guannei and Jihei Province. "Mr. Jiang, you mean that the Japanese plan to attack Guannei?" Zhao Zhenfan asked in surprise.  "It's hard to say. The Japanese are definitely not ready for a large-scale attack in North China. However, it can still be achieved by occupying Rehe and cutting off the connection between the anti-Japanese armed forces outside the customs and the inside." Jiang Baili said this, pointing to the Changchun area and said: "In summary, we  According to the analysis just now, the Japanese's strategic purpose is to ignore our Tongliao Army Division, first defeat Li Du and other troops, capture most of the three eastern provinces, and then invade Rehe through Shanhaiguan. This will form a strategic threat to us.  "Surrounded." Huang Xiansheng and Wang Yizhe didn't understand, but Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized: "Mr. Jiang, what you mean is that we only need to ensure that Rehe is not occupied by the Japanese?" Huang Xiansheng said this.  Both Zhao Zhenfan and Zhao Zhenfan were confused and looked at each other.  Jiang Baili nodded approvingly and continued: "Yes, if the general had chosen Jilin or Heilongjiang as the future anti-Japanese base area, Changchun would definitely not allow for any mistakes. But now it seems that the general had the foresight to plan the anti-Japanese war.  The base area was chosen in Tongliao, which borders Jilin to the east, Liaoning to the south, and North China to the west. It is the junction point between Northeast China and North China. As long as we gain a foothold here, most of China in the entire pass will be our rear.  They can also lead their troops to withdraw to the northwest and continue the war of resistance. On the other hand, Jilin and Heilongjiang are far away. With the current strength of the general, at best, he can only establish a base area with a city as the center and a radius of no more than a hundred miles.sp; Once the Japanese army invades Jilin and most other areas of Heilongjiang, they can completely surround us strategically and impose an all-round economic and other blockade on us. It is impossible to maintain such a base for too long.  Because Jihei has no rear to rely on, we can’t expect the Russians to provide us with support, right?  " Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe and others nodded in understanding. Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan with admiration and said: "So I say it is fortunate that General Zhang chose Tongliao as his base. Compared with attacking Jilin and Heilongjiang, it is more difficult to attack Jilin and Heilongjiang.  It is not that easy to capture Rehe. This gives us more time to expand our troops and prepare for war.  " "Mr. Jiang is worthy of being a well-known military scientist both inside and outside the broadcaster. His analysis is very correct. The reason why Jilin was not chosen as the base for the retreat of our ** division was that, in addition to Siping and Tieling, which were still in the hands of the Japanese, Jilin and Heilongjiang  The complexity of the situation is not suitable for our development. The most important thing is, as Mr. Wang said, we have no rear.  "Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili with approval and said with a smile. "As for General Li Du's request for help, how should we respond? Should we just sit back and ignore it?  "Zhao Zhenfan asked. "We must save, but we can only send air force support. As for the infantry, our department has just experienced the battle of Qinglong Mountain and suffered heavy losses. It is currently being reorganized. Recently, the Japanese army invaded Jinzhou from the west.  In order to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to attack our base area, our troops can only strengthen the defense. Self-defense is still insufficient. It is really impossible to send reinforcements to Changchun. I told Li Du that if the battle situation in Changchun is really unsustainable, please ask them to immediately lead the troops to retreat west to Tongliao.  The ** division will pick them up.  "Zhang Xinghan pondered. "Yes, I understand.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded and accepted the order and left. Changchun, Jilin Rescue Command. After receiving Zhang Xinghan's call back, Li Du couldn't help but sigh. Feng Zhanhai and Xing Zhanqing quickly asked: "What did General Zhang say?  " "The Japanese invaded Jinzhou, and the ** division had insufficient self-protection and was unable to deploy infantry troops to reinforce Changchun. However, Zhang Xinghan has promised to send the air force to support. He also said that if Changchun cannot be defended, we can retreat to Tongliao, and he will  Send troops to meet us.  "Li Du said a little distractedly. "With the support of the air force, we should be able to defend Changchun.  "Feng Zhanhai said with some relief. "The Japanese have three divisions and an air force advantage. No matter how much support the ** division's air force provides, it is impossible to arrive in time all the time, and it will no longer be able to provide support at night.  Whether we can withstand the Japanese attack is really unknown.  "Li Du's attitude was a little pessimistic. It was obvious that the last battle in Shenyang had left a shadow on him. His savior could not even defeat a 14th Division, let alone the Japanese army having three divisions this time? After Li Du said this  Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai couldn't help but worry. Feng Zhanhai thought for a while and said tentatively: "How about we take advantage of the fact that the main force has not suffered much losses and voluntarily abandon Changchun and evacuate to Tongliao?"  As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. As long as the troops are still there, we will definitely be able to fight back in the future.  "  and spiritual support. Everyone envied the ** division's powerful air power and armored assault force cover during the battle. Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai were obviously affected by this idea, but Li Du was a little unwilling to give up the entire Jilin and even the whole.  Heilongjiang. It’s not that he doesn’t want to give up military power, but the backward and conservative thoughts in his heart are at work. Jilin and Heilongjiang are thousands of miles apart, and it would be more uncomfortable for him to give up without a fight than to kill him. After being silent for a long time, Li Du finally shook his head and said.  As a soldier, I cannot escape without fighting and abandon the huge Jilin Province.  " Feng Zhanhai looked at him with some disappointment and said anxiously: "But, brother Zhichu, now we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. It is a dead end to continue to hold on to Changchun. Rather than increasing casualties like this, we should retreat to preserve as much as possible our hands.  We can use our precious troops to fight back when the time is right in the future.  " "Stop talking, I have made up my mind to fight the Japanese invaders to the death in Changchun!  "Li Du waved his hands. Feng Zhanhai sighed and left with a puff of his sleeves. "Brother Zhichu, I think Shoushan is right. We can leave green hills without worrying about having firewood. We really can't make the mistake of spending tens of thousands of people just for one Changchun.  The lives of the soldiers!  "After Feng Zhanhai left, Xing Zhanqing persuaded him nicely. "Brother Kuijiu, you and I have worked together for many years. Don't you still understand my temper?  I've already decided, don't try to persuade me anymore.  "Li Du turned away with some displeasure. "Alas!  "  Annihilation. Li Du, Feng Zhanhai and Xing Zhanqing led their troops to resist desperately, and the ** Division Air Force came several times for reinforcements. However, due to the huge disparity in strength, Changchun City was captured by the Japanese army. Li Du led his troops to fight the Japanese invaders until the last minute.  Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai led the remaining troops to break out and retreat towards Tongliao. There are only five more chapters left. Please continue to work hard.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 164: Under the New Northeastern Army

    Tongliao, ** Division Headquarters.  Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan reported to Zhang Xinghan with a solemn face: "Master, I just got the news that Changchun was lost last night. General Li Du would rather die than retreat and died for his country! Most of the Jilin rescuers died in the battle, and only a few broke through." Zhang Xinghan.  After hearing this, he took off his military hat with regret, stood up and bowed his head in silence.  Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe and others also followed suit.  After a few minutes of silence, Zhang Xinghan put on his military cap, raised his head and said: "Order Commander Sa to immediately lead the cavalry regiment eastward, and try his best to coordinate the remnants of the Changchun garrison to withdraw to our base." "Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan stood up and responded, turning around.  Leave.  "Now that Changchun and Jinzhou have been lost, we don't have much time left. We must complete the expansion and reorganization as soon as possible!" After Zhao Zhenfan left, Zhang Xinghan turned to Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others: "For details such as specific personnel and resources, Mr. Jiang  "Uncle Wang, please worry about it." "Don't worry, Mr. Baili and I will do our best," Wang Yizhe said.  Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Sabli successfully brought back the remnants of Xing Zhanqing and Feng Zhanhai who had broken out from Changchun.  However, both of their troops suffered heavy losses, and fewer than a thousand people retreated to Tongliao with them.  During these three days, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng and others worked tirelessly to finally develop a detailed reorganization plan for Zhang Xinghan.  After Zhang Xinghan read it, he made slight modifications and immediately ordered all units of the ** division to assemble and implement it.  At this time, the total strength of the Army and Air Force of the ** Division in Tongliao has exceeded 40,000.  Nearly half of them are new recruits.  Therefore, reorganization and reorganization must be carried out to integrate the combat effectiveness of the entire division.  First of all, the Tongliao Anti-Japanese Army was officially renamed the Northeast New Army.  The New Army has temporarily established three infantry divisions, one directly affiliated flying regiment, one directly affiliated armored brigade, one directly affiliated heavy artillery brigade, one cavalry regiment, and a guard battalion.  One for each reconnaissance battalion.  The reconnaissance battalion was expanded from the original reconnaissance company, selecting suitable seedlings from the recruits and conducting secret training.  Each division has three infantry regiments, each with more than 2,000 men.  The troops directly under the division headquarters include an artillery battalion, a guard company, and a transport company. The cavalry company directly under the original regiment was reorganized into a cavalry reconnaissance battalion directly under the division. After reorganization, the total number of people in each division is about 9,000.  The strength and weapons configuration of other infantry regiments.  They are almost the same as the four main groups of the previous army.  The biggest change of the Northeast New Army is that each division and regiment is equipped with sufficient motorcycles and military trucks.  The transition from a pure infantry division to a motorized infantry division was realized.  “Of course these trucks and motorcycles were produced by Zhang Xinghan from watches.  Considering that in future battles with the Japanese army, they may encounter the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, in order to ensure that the new army has the artillery fire to compete with it.  Zhang Xinghan replaced all the two artillery regiments of the artillery brigade directly under him with 150mm-caliber heavy howitzers, making this heavy artillery regiment the strategic artillery unit of the ** Division.  As for the 105mm howitzers that were replaced by the artillery brigade, Zhang Xinghan added some more and assigned them to the artillery battalions directly under the three motorized infantry divisions.  This also ensures that each motorized infantry division has a sufficiently powerful division-level artillery group.  In addition to two heavy artillery regiments, the heavy artillery brigade also has an air defense regiment equipped with more than a dozen 88mm anti-aircraft guns and more than 30 anti-aircraft machine guns.  The armored brigade.  Considering that the Panzer III tank is still a bit behind.  Zhang Xinghan is determined to build it into an armored force that is invincible in Northeast Asia and lay the foundation for future mechanized forces and armored divisions.  Zhang Xinghan eliminated dozens of Panzer III tanks from the original armored company and reserved them all for the training and learning of new armored soldiers.  The armored brigade has been equipped with one hundred more advanced German Panzer IV tanks. Since they are the "brothers" of the Panzer III tanks, the veterans of the armored regiment can quickly master and familiarize themselves with their operation methods.  In addition to one hundred Panzer IV tanks, an armored brigade is also equipped.  One hundred tracked armored vehicles, each of these armored vehicles is equipped with one to two 12,7mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, or an 88mm anti-aircraft gun.  The armored brigade has a tank regiment and an air defense regiment. Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns can also be used to deal with ground targets.  It assists tank regiments in assaults and can also be used for air defense. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.  As for the flight group, the number of aircraft has not changed much. After all, the Zero fighter will still be the absolute air supremacy in Northeast Asia for several years to come.  With bf109, one is responsible for long-range combat and the other is responsible for close-range combat. The combination of each other is perfect.  However, Zhang Xinghan’s enemy kill value is more than that of unblocking the No. 4 tank.There are still more than 200,000 150mm heavy howitzers left.  As long as he needs it, he can unblock more advanced land-based and sea-based fighters such as F4F, F6U and P51 Mustang at any time.  The guard battalion maintains its original size, while the reconnaissance battalion has undergone considerable changes. Not only has its personnel expanded three times.  Its formal organization is also different from that of ordinary reconnaissance troops. There are three companies in the whole battalion.  Since each division and regiment is equipped with a directly affiliated cavalry reconnaissance unit, Shen Xingye's reconnaissance battalion no longer undertakes reconnaissance operations under normal circumstances.  Instead, he is secretly transforming into an agent, specializing in intelligence detection, preventing enemy agents from penetrating into base areas, and monitoring the chief officers of divisions and regiments.  Of course, these three companies are the only ones who have truly received rigorous training from Shen Xingye. After training, the agents of these three companies will be sent out in a wide-net manner, each acting under orders to develop their own downlines.  The required funds were secretly allocated by Zhang Xinghan.  Sabli’s cavalry regiment also remains unchanged, with its strength remaining at around 2,500 to 3,000 men, until the armored brigade officially forms combat effectiveness.  More Sabli personnel will be responsible for tasks such as security, patrol, and public security in the base area.  After all, in future battles, cavalry will slowly withdraw from the stage of modern warfare and be gradually replaced by powerful armored forces.  Regarding the military commanders of each division and brigade, the details are as follows.  The First Motorized Infantry Division was expanded from the original 701 Regiment. The division commander was Wang Yizhe, and the deputy division commander was Liu Jianguo. He also served as the commander of the First Motorized Infantry Regiment.  Wang Yizhe was originally an army lieutenant general and the old boss of Liu Jianguo and Zhang Xinghan. Now he is Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law. It is most suitable for him to serve as the commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division.  The Second Motorized Infantry Division was formed by the expansion of the original 702 regiment and the Tongliao garrison regiment.  , the division commander was appointed by Wang Yicai, the former commander of the 702 regiment, and the deputy division commander was Liu Guodong, the former commander of the garrison regiment.  The Third Motorized Infantry Division was formed by the former 703 Regiment and the 704 Regiment. The division commander is Wang Tiehan, the former commander of the 703 Regiment, and the deputy commander is Zhang Shixian, the commander of the 704 Regiment.  The deputy division commanders of the above divisions act as chiefs of staff.  The members of the New Army Headquarters are composed of Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, and Zhao Zhenfan.  Zhang Xinghan is the commander-in-chief.  Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan served as deputy commanders, and Jiang Baili served as chief of staff.  The commander of the armored brigade is still Li Zhenyuan, the former commander of the armored company.  As for Feng Zhanhai and Xing Zhanqing.  He was appointed as the staff officer of the New Army Headquarters and basically had no real power.  Zhang Xinghan made this arrangement out of necessity. All the officers and soldiers under them were lost in the Battle of Changchun. They cannot be allowed to take over the jobs of the main division and regimental commanders as soon as they arrive.  That would be too unfair to these old subordinates who have followed him through life and death.  Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Xinghan to lose the loyalty of his old subordinates for them.  After the reorganization was completed, all departments of the New Army immediately launched high-intensity training to prepare for the possible battles that may follow.  During the period of training of the New Army, reports of defeat were frequent in the Northeast. First, Zhao Zhenhe, the former deputy commander of the 24th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, was defeated in Harbin.  He led the remaining troops to retreat to Qiqihar.  Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army broke through Shanhaiguan, and their troops pointed directly at Pingjin.  By mid-March 21 of the Republic of China, the Japanese army captured the entire Jilin Province, and most of the remaining Jilin Province defense troops defected to the Japanese and became traitors.  With the help of a large number of puppet troops, the 14th Division invaded Heilongjiang in late March.  Zhao Zhenhe, Ma Zhanshan and others led their troops to resist at Jiangqiao, although this battle to defend Jiangqiao was nearly half a year later than in the history of another time and space.  But equally tragic and tragic.  Although Zhang Xinghan sent the air force to fly over Jiangqiao several times to provide support, the troops of Ma Zhanshan and Zhao Zhenhe finally found that the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was too great and they were outnumbered.  After resisting for three days, they were forced to retreat due to excessive casualties.  During this period, in order to counter the so-called League of Nations' denunciation by Western countries, the Japanese were afraid of another three-nation intervention and return to Liaoning.  Through agents, the late Qing emperor Puyi, who was living in Tianjin, was brought to Dalian.  They began to secretly plan to establish Manchukuo, using Puyi as a puppet to achieve their strategic goal of actually controlling and occupying the Northeast.  At the same time, the Kwantung Army's 2nd Division, 6th Division and 20th Division had been reorganized. Muto Xinyi began to invade and occupy Rehe, cutting off the Tongliao Anti-Japanese New Army's connection with the interior of the pass, thereby completing the strategic encirclement of Zhang Xinghan's troops.  plan.  In order to ensure the smooth establishment of Manchukuo, the Japanese base camp instructed its secret service department to deliberately provoke trouble in Shanghai at an opportunity to divert the attention of the Chinese government and other countries around the world.  So, Japan Super High School Shanghai ExtensionA secret planning operation began, and the ace agent Yoshiko Kawashima who was stranded in the Northeast was also ordered to secretly rush to Shanghai.  The Japanese Navy is also secretly deploying troops to Shanghai, and a strategic conspiracy is about to be staged in Shanghai.  Tongliao, Northeast New Army Headquarters.  Jiang Baili pointed to the map and said to Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and others sitting aside: "According to intelligence, the Japanese 4th Division has begun to move closer to Rehe under the cover of the 7th Division. If we do not send troops to intervene, it will take at most a week.  , Rehe will be lost." As soon as Jiang Baili finished speaking, Zhao Zhenfan continued: "However, the Japanese army in the direction of Zhangwu and Xinmin has increased to three divisions, namely the 8th Division, which was severely damaged by us.  The purpose of the reorganized 2nd and 6th Divisions is obvious. These three divisions are here to contain us. " "In addition to these three divisions, the main force of the Japanese 10th Division is also assembled in Changchun.  They can march westward and threaten our Tongliao base at any time," Huang Xiansheng added.  After the three of them finished speaking, they all turned their attention to Zhang Xinghan, waiting for him to make a decision.  (This website (.) Your support is my greatest motivation.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 165: Send Troops to Rehe

    Zhang Xinghan pondered for a long time, then slapped the table and said: "Rehe must not fall into the hands of the Japanese. Fight!" "But Commander, our three main divisions and the armored brigade directly under the headquarters have just been expanded, and the training has not been completed. Besides, the Japanese army  I’m afraid it’s inappropriate to have four divisions deployed to the south and east of us, right?” Zhao Zhenfan said: “I suggest that we wait for three to five months to complete the training of the troops.  After they have become more effective, it is not too late to send troops to Rehe. "Three to five months is too long, and the purpose of sending troops to Rehe this time is not only to stop the Japanese and break their conspiracy to form a strategic encirclement against us."  The tens of thousands of former Northeastern Army soldiers under the garrison Tang Yulin are very good supplementary soldiers. Not to mention bringing them all back, if I can bring back one-third of them, then I will bring back one-third of them from each division of the New Army.  The combat power will soar rapidly. Moreover, since we defeated the Japanese army in January, Japan has successively attacked cities and territories, and its arrogance has become arrogant. It is time to teach them a lesson," Zhang Xinghan said: "So, we must send troops this time.  "Rehe." "The commander is right, Tang Yulin is a idiot, but the tens of thousands of troops under his command are all authentic Northeastern troops. Since the September 18th Incident, these Northeastern troops have always wanted to fight back to their hometown in Northeast China.  We dispatched troops in time, before they were defeated by the Japanese army, collected them, and with a little training, they became a new force capable of fighting. It is much more cost-effective than recruiting new soldiers and training them from scratch," Jiang Baili said.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "I have decided to deploy the armored brigade tank regiment, the cavalry regiment and the first motorized infantry division, supplemented by the air force, to advance towards Rehe today." "The safety of the base area will be left to us.  Alarm Bell and Guobing." Zhang Xinghan looked at the two of them meaningfully.  "Please rest assured, Commander, we will do our best to ensure that the base area is safe." Huang Xiansheng said with some worry: "However, Commander, you only brought these troops, isn't it a bit too few?" "It's quite a lot, Rehe is thousands of miles away.  , extremely suitable for mobile assault operations of our motorized troops, especially for our tank regiment to sweep across a division of the Little Japanese Army.  We will gain some valuable practical experience," Zhang Xinghan said with confidence.  "Chief of Staff, please work hard and lead the army with me." Jiang Baili smiled and nodded: "Baili takes the order!" Peiping, Marshal's Mansion.  Zhang Xueliang was pacing back and forth in his study anxiously at this moment. The Japanese actually broke through Shanhaiguan and showed no sign of stopping.  There is great potential to break through the passes of the Great Wall, take Pingjin directly, and get involved in North China.  Zhang Xueliang is really anxious at this moment. Northeast China has been lost, and North China cannot be lost no matter what.  “Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where to withdraw the hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops he relies on for survival.  "Young Marshal, urgent report from the front." Chief of Staff Changrong walked into the office in a hurry and saluted Zhang Xueliang to report.  "Huh? Has the situation changed?" Zhang Xueliang asked hurriedly.  "According to our frontline reconnaissance, the main force of the Japanese 4th Division has turned north to Jehol, and its 7th Division is still confronting our frontline troops at the Great Wall Pass." Rong replied quickly.  "The Japanese went to Rehe? They actually want to capture Rehe?" Zhang Xueliang said in shock and anger: "Immediately send electricity to Tang Dahu and tell him to step up combat preparations and prepare to attack. If Rehe is lost, Chahar will not  Guaranteed, another telegram ordered the 29th Army of the 3rd Group Army and Sun Dianying's troops to quickly go north to reinforce Rehe! " "Young Marshal, Sun Dianying is a capricious person and a remnant of the Northwest Army. He hates our Northeast Army to the core.  Although it is nominally under your control, Marshal, but Rehe is in danger, they will definitely sit back and take advantage of it, " said Rong.  "No matter what, tell Sun Dianying that as long as Rehe can be saved, I will recommend him as the chairman of Chahar Province!" Zhang Xueliang said.  "Yes." Rong had no choice but to bow his head and accept the order to leave.  On the plain road from Tongliao to Rehe, a huge torrent of steel composed of one hundred Panzer IV tanks and nearly two hundred military trucks and motorcycles was roaring towards the territory of Rehe.  Behind the convoy were Sabli's three thousand cavalry.  From time to time, there will be fighter planes flying over the sky. They are the reconnaissance planes dispatched by the flying group first, so that Zhang Xinghan can keep abreast of the latest situation in Rehe.  Chengde, the largest city in Rehe, is also the provincial capital of Rehe.  There is a three-story building located in the south of the city, which is the provincial chairman of Tang Yulin.Public building.  To put it bluntly, it is Tang Dahu’s private mansion.  In a spacious office on the second floor of the building, Tang Dahu's secretary and staff were ordered to help him pack his things.  Knowing that the Japanese were coming, Tang Dahu’s first thought was to flee with the gold and silver jewelry he had collected and his concubine.  Rather than leading his troops to fight against the Japanese aggressors and guard his Jehol Province.  “Just kidding, as the absolute leader of the Northeast Army and Zhang Zuolin’s successor, Marshal Zhang doesn’t want the entire Northeast, and he doesn’t dare to go to war with the Japanese.  How could Tang Yulin and He De dare to fight against the Japanese who were already red-eyed?  Tang Yulin didn't want the Japanese's anger at Zhang Xinghan's place to be poured out on him. Tang Yulin was anxiously directing his subordinates to pack up his so-called valuables and important documents.  A communications adjutant quickly walked up to the second floor with a telegram in hand, found him, and saluted: "Chairman, the young marshal is calling." "Who? Xiao Liuzi?" Tang Dahu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and took the telegram in his hand and read it hastily.  Once, he immediately yelled: "Damn you, the Japanese have already invaded Shanhaiguan. At this time, the little six thought of resisting, what the hell did he do?" "There is no danger to defend the Thousand Miles of Rehe Plain.  What do you want me to do to resist the Japanese attack?" As he said that, he tore the message into pieces and threw it on the floor like garbage.  The communications adjutant bowed his head and did not dare to say more.  Tang Yulin walked back and forth a few steps and kicked the communications adjutant in anger: "What the hell are you still doing here? Go back and take the radio with me and retreat with me!" "Yes!" The communications adjutant turned around quickly.  Run downstairs.  "What a bastard!" Tang Yulin's anger was still lingering, and he cursed at the busy subordinates in the office. The subordinates were afraid of Tang's power and dared not speak out.  That night, Tang Yulin abandoned the nearly 40,000 soldiers of the 36th Division and fled Chengde City with a few family members and a large amount of money.  The Japanese 4th Division moved north from Shanhaiguan and arrived in the Pingquan area three days later.  Stationed in the plain is the 213th Regiment of Dong Futing's 107th Brigade of Tang Yulin's 36th Division.  But the leader of the 213th Regiment had long been bribed by the Japanese secret service to instigate rebellion. When the cavalry vanguard of the Japanese 4th Division arrived, they opened the gates of Hingquan County and welcomed the Japanese into the city.  Then he acted as a guide and led the Japanese to attack Qigou Town, which was also stationed by the 10kz14 regiment.  Due to the mutiny of our own troops, the 214th Regiment was defeated and retreated towards Chengde. With the cooperation of the rebels, the Japanese cavalry troops began to penetrate Chengde.  If Tang Yulin does not withdraw at this time, he can completely concentrate his superior forces to kill the 4th Division Cavalry Regiment that is alone in the depths.  Because there are still 10 two regiments stationed in Lingyuan just northeast of Hiraizumi. As long as he gives the order, this brigade can quickly detour towards Hiraizumi and cut off the Japanese cavalry's retreat.  It is no problem to mobilize the kb brigade in Longhua and the two cavalry brigades in Chengde city to completely annihilate the Japanese cavalry.  It’s a pity that this is all hypothetical. Now Comrade Tang Dahu has already fled to the rear of Shuangluan City with his family and a large amount of private property.  Just as the cavalry troops of the Japanese 4th Division were heading towards Chengde, Zhang Xinghan had already learned about the movements of the Japanese troops through aerial reconnaissance planes.  led his troops to march at full speed, and was also marching towards Chengde at this time.  In order to get to Chengde before the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan once again called the air force to conduct air strikes and bombings against the Japanese army and the rebels.  This slowed down the advance of the Japanese and puppet troops, and finally arrived outside Chengde City in the evening of that day.  Zhang Xinghan did not rush into the city, but lined up the tank regiments in the east of Chengde City to give the cavalry a rest. While the infantry had time to get off their vehicles and prepare, they were also waiting for the arrival of the Japanese cavalry.  More than an hour later, about a thousand Japanese cavalry, with the cooperation of hundreds of puppet troops, rushed to the eastern suburbs of Chengde.  Zhang Xinghan's assault force had been waiting for a long time. Following Zhang Xinghan's order, a hundred tanks fired one after another and began to advance forward.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan ordered Sabli to lead the cavalry regiment to detour from the left, preparing to intercept the fleeing Japanese and puppet troops.  Liu Jianguo, deputy commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division and commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment, led the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment following the armored regiment and launched an active attack on the Japanese cavalry.  Facing this sudden steel torrent composed of hundreds of tanks, the Japanese and puppet troops, who were almost dazzled by the victory, were completely stunned.  Especially the puppet troops, they have never seen so many tanks lined up charging collectively.  When hundreds of artillery shells fell around them, hundreds of puppet soldiersImmediately they became birds and beasts and fled in all directions.  The Japanese cavalry was barely calm, at least they didn't run away immediately.  But from the expression of the captain of the Japanese Cavalry, you can see how shocked he is. The 4th Division to which he belongs has been fighting since the landing in Lushun.  Falling into Jinzhou and breaking through Shanhaiguan, he was invincible and invincible. However, at this moment, the captain of the Japanese Cavalry Company was no longer as brave and fearless as he had been in the previous days.  When the high-explosive bombs fell and their horses were frightened and almost out of control, he finally came to his senses and gave the order to retreat.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 166: Coaxing and Intimidating

    When the captain of the Japanese cavalry unit took the lead in turning his horse's head and turning around to escape, his subordinates also started their horses to run away.  The Japanese cavalry were not stupid. They could not compete with the huge group of tanks and chariots in front of them. Now that the commander ordered a retreat, they couldn't get it. They all just hated that their horses ran too slow.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the tank regiment to speed up. The tank soldiers also fired one after another, using artillery fire to prevent the Japanese cavalry from escaping.  Within a certain distance, the cavalry will definitely run faster than the No. 4 tank, especially in this plain area.  Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan brought Sabli's cavalry regiment up. It was precisely because of the cavalry regiment that he would use all the tank regiments together. Otherwise, he would have divided his forces to attack and outflank them.  The Japanese cavalry could not escape for five miles before being intercepted by Sabli's cavalry regiment.  Even without the tank regiment and the motorized infantry regiment, Sabli's three thousand cavalry alone would be enough to completely annihilate the Japanese cavalry, which was less than half their strength.  The cavalry on both sides fought in a melee, and soon the tank regiment and the first motorized infantry regiment caught up. In order to avoid accidental damage, the armored soldiers of the tank regiment no longer fired, but only fired with vehicle-mounted machine guns.  The auxiliary weapons of the No. 4 tank are two mg34 general-purpose machine guns. One hundred tanks are two hundred general-purpose machine guns. With such powerful firepower, not to mention that the Japanese only have less than 1,500 people.  Even if there are two thousand of them, in such an unobstructed terrain with no way to hide, there is only one end.  That means being beaten into a sieve by a hail of machine gun bullets.  This battle lasted less than an hour. The Japanese cavalry regiment, which was alone and deeply penetrated, was declared annihilated with the last gunshot.  Except for a few who were killed by Sabli's cavalry, four-fifths of the Japanese cavalry died under the intensive machine gun fire of the tank regiment.  The crossfire network composed of two hundred general-purpose machine guns, the dense bullets fired almost formed a barrage, and the Japanese cavalry, including men and horses, were almost all beaten to a bloody sieve.  After killing the Japanese cavalry, Zhang Xinghan led his troops into Chengde City with great vigor.  At this time, most of the Tang troops in the city fled on lookout to see if the Japanese troops were coming. Chengde City had almost become an undefended empty city.  When Zhang Xinghan’s tank regiment rumbled into the main street of the city one by one, the people in the city suddenly became excited.  Behind the tank was a heavily armed motorized infantry regiment. Their neat steps, all standard equipment and sharp bayonets shocked the visual senses of Chengde citizens.  This is the real fucking army.  After being moved, enthusiastic Chengde citizens began to spontaneously organize operations to support the troops.  Many young girls frequently waved to the heroic and majestic New Army soldiers.  When Zhang Xinghan led his troops into the Provincial Chairman's Building in Tang Dahu in the south of the city, many officers and soldiers of the motorized infantry regiment were filled with eggs, steamed buns, steamed buns, and various fruits by enthusiastic citizens along the street.  What made Zhang Xinghan dumbfounded was that the tank barrels of the tank regiment were covered with labor gifts from enthusiastic people.  Zhang Xinghan jumped out of a No. 4 tank and waved his hand, and soldiers rushed in carrying Garand.  At that time, the main force of the Japanese 4th Division had just passed Qinglong County. Compared with the cavalry, the main force of the infantry was marching much slower.  Lieutenant General Nobuyuki Abe, the current commander of the 4th Division, was traveling in a military vehicle. Suddenly, a communications soldier jumped out of a military vehicle in front and ran to the car where Nobuyuki Abe was riding.  He waved his hand to stop the car, and saluted nervously: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, has just received the news that our forward cavalry unit was jointly attacked by a large group of chariots and cavalry of the China Army, and was defeated by all of them!" "What? The chariot group?"  ?" Abe Nobuyuki was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said to the communications unit: "Order the troops to stop advancing immediately and wait for orders. Then send a message to the Kwantung Army headquarters. Our troops encountered a group of Chinese tanks and the cavalry troops were completely wiped out.  Just in case, please ask the headquarters for emergency tactical guidance and send aviation troops to support at any time." "Hai!" The communications soldier suddenly lowered his head and ran forward quickly.  Jinzhou, in order to facilitate the command of various units, Kwantung Army Commander Muto Nobuyoshi moved his headquarters here.  The urgent message from the 4th Division was quickly sent to the communications room of Jinzhou Headquarters.  After Major General Hashimoto Toranosuke, Chief of Staff, took the telegram from the Communications Lieutenant, he hurriedly read it and was shocked. He immediately took the telegram to report to Muto Nobuyoshi.  Muto Nobuyoshi is currently participating in the city entry ceremony organized by the 20th Division in Jinzhou City. ??????????????????????????????????I found him panting while reading the telegram and reported the contents of the urgent telegram from the 4th Division to Nobuyoshi Muto.  Muto Nobuyoshi was surprisingly calm, pondered for a moment and said: "Chariot group? Except for Zhang Xinghan's troops in Tongliao, the China Army in Northeast and North China has no organized tank troops. So, Zhang Xinghan's troops entered Rehe?  " Hashimoto Toranosuke nodded and said: "It's very possible. General, what should we do? " "Order, the 20th Division immediately takes over from the 7th Division, and the 7th Division quickly moves north to join the 4th Division and head toward Chengde.  Advancing, the aviation force is ready to take off at any time at Jinzhou and Huludao airports. Once the Chinese tank troops are discovered, they will immediately call for air force support. At the same time, the No. 3, 6th and 8th Divisions will be ordered to immediately attack from the east and south.  Let's launch an attack on Tongliao!" Muto Xinyi quickly made arrangements.  "Hai." Hashimoto Toranosuke quickly bowed his head in response, quickly turned around and took the order to leave.  In Chengde City, Zhang Xinghan had temporarily stationed himself at Tang Dahu's Provincial Chairman's Building. When he learned that Tang Yulin, this idiot, had already escaped with his property.  Zhang Xinghan was angry and resentful. If Tang Yulin was here, he could use him to command his 36th Division.  It will be much easier to recruit the 36th Division this way.  But now Tang Yulin has run away, but he still holds the title of Commander of the 36th Division and Chairman of Rehe Province, and all the units of the 36th Division still obey his command.  If you force yourself to collect them, unexpected accidents may happen.  Unable to think of any good solution, Zhang Xinghan immediately asked someone to find Jiang Baili who was appeasing the people.  "Chief of Staff, now Tang Yulin has fled Chengde, and the Japanese forwards have been eliminated by us. The other Tang troops still have strength, and it seems a bit difficult to recruit them. Do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Commander, you have forgotten that Tang Yulin's escape may not be fully known to his subordinates. Before the news is leaked, we can completely order Tangbu stationed in Lingyuan and Longhua and other places in the name of Tang Yulin.  Accept the reorganization of the Northeastern New Army. "We will send the tank regiment to use absolute force to deter them, and then we will coax them to integrate them," Jiang Baili wrote lightly.  "Coaxing and lying? Is this possible?" Zhang Xinghan was a little uneasy.  "How will you know if it works if you don't give it a try? Anyway, Tang Yulin has already escaped, and his men are leaderless. Under the strong force of our tank regiment, they have no choice." Jiang Baili said: "Disarm them first.  , and then the cavalry regiment and the motorized infantry regiment will transport them back to the base area by car. I believe that when they arrive at our base area and understand our system and treatment, they will definitely be willing to join our Northeast New Army." "Okay.  Well, I'll let Jianguo and Li Zhenyuan try it right away." Zhang Xinghan nodded and made up his mind.  That night, Lingyuan County, the headquarters of the KB Brigade in Tangbu.  The brigade commander Liu Yanchun asked the adjutant in confusion: "What do you think Chairman Tang thinks? Why do you want us to surrender our weapons to Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army and accept recruitment?" The adjutant shook his head and said: "This humble position can't figure it out. Is it possible?  Said, Chairman Tang has defected to the Northeast New Army? " "You damn pig brain, Chairman Tang is the governor of a province, how could he defect to Zhang Xinghan, he is just a division commander?" Liu Yanchun couldn't help it.  Cursing.  "What should we do, then?" the adjutant asked cautiously.  "We'll wait and see what's going on first." Liu Yanchun lit a cigarette and frowned.  The whole night was speechless. Early the next morning, Liu Yanchun, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the adjutant's urgent shout.  "Hotel seat, hotel seat, it's not good" Liu Yanchun's sweet dream was disturbed, and he was furious: "Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning? You're disturbing me in my sleep!" "Bridge, hotel seat, it's bad, you're from outside the city.  A large number of tanks and infantry have surrounded Lingyuan County." The adjutant spoke nervously, feeling a little embarrassed.  "What? Where did the tank come from?" Liu Yanchun was shocked when he heard this, and he suddenly lost all sleepiness.  "I don't know, but looking at the military uniform, they are not Japanese, but more like our Northeastern Army, but a little different." The adjutant replied very tangledly.  "Fuck you, all this nonsense, come with me to the top of the city to have a look." Liu Yanchun took his military coat and walked out.  Soon, Liu Yanchun led his adjutant and several guards to the top of the city, and cautiously stretched his head to look outside the city.  Liu Yanchun suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning. A large number of tanks were lined up outside the city, and the black muzzles of the guns were already aimed at the top of the city.  Damn it, these people are really evilThose who came out looked more powerful than the little devils.  Liu Yanchun hid behind the wall, took a deep breath to calm down his somewhat excited mood, and said secretly.  At this moment, a loud shout sounded outside the city: "Friendly 106th Brigade in the city, listen, we are the Tongliao Anti-Japanese Northeast New Army, and we have been ordered to come and integrate your unit. Time is tight, you only have half an hour to think about it.  Time, please tell your brigade commander, General Liu Yanchun, to obey the order of your division commander, Chairman Tang Yulin, and leave the city immediately to accept reorganization!"

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 167: Actual Combat Training

    The shouting outside continued to be repeated, and despite the low temperature of 20 to 30 degrees below zero, Liu Yanchun still had cold sweat on his forehead.  The adjutant was also so frightened that his legs were trembling, and he asked in a low voice: "Host, what should we do?" "Damn it, I really don't understand how Chairman Tang could give such a bastard order!" Liu Yan  Chun said confused and extremely angry.  "Brigade, now is not the time to blame Chairman Tang. Let's make a decision quickly. Otherwise, look at those tanks outside the city. The artillery is much larger than the tanks we used to have in the Northeast Army. If the cannon is fired, the entire Lingyuan will be destroyed.  "Razed to the ground!" the adjutant said in horror.  At this time, the shouts outside the city became more severe: "Friends of the 108th Brigade, half an hour is coming. If you refuse to carry out Chairman Tang's order, we will fire." "Don't fire.  Don't fire, I obey Chairman Tang's order." Liu Yanchun gritted his teeth and quickly stood up from the wall, waving his hands.  "Open the city gate, everyone gather outside the city, and throw all the weapons and equipment together." Liu Jianguo excitedly grabbed the simple shouting microphone from the hands of his subordinates.  Half an hour later, Liu Yanchun's brigade headquarters and a regiment, totaling more than 5,000 troops, became the "prisoners" of the Duli Division.  Liu Jianguo divided his troops into one group and went to Jianping County, northeast of Lingshui, to follow the same pattern and recruit all the other regiments under Liu Yanchun's command.  “Then one cavalry regiment, one motorized infantry battalion, and the motorcycles and military trucks of the motorized infantry regiment were used to pull Liu Yanchun’s two regiments and the brigade headquarters, a total of more than 8,000 people, and transport them back to the Tongliao base area.  That afternoon, the 4th Division of the Japanese Army received reinforcements from the 7th Division, and the main force marched forward to Pingquan County.  Zhang Xinghan transferred back the tank regiment and motorized infantry regiment to deal with the 106th Brigade in Longhua in the same way, but unfortunately, the 106th Brigade Commander Zhang Congyun had already made contact with Tang Yulin who had withdrawn to Shuangluan.  Naturally, he would not be fooled. Just when Zhang Xinghan was about to order Liu Jianguo to "beat and beat" Zhang Congyun, in order to force them to leave the city and accept recruitment.  The cavalry and air force scouts brought back news that the Japanese army had arrived in Pingquan.  In order not to cause a fight with Tang Yulin's troops for the time being, so as not to force them to defect to Japan and become Han soldiers.  Zhang Xinghan ordered Liu Jianguo to withdraw his troops, and at the same time ordered the air force to fly to Pingquan to conduct bombing and air raids on the Japanese army.  At the same time, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army and Sun Dianying's 40th Division rushed to Rehe one after another.  Sun Dianying’s arrival was beyond Zhang Xinghan’s expectation, but he was relieved when he thought that the only shining point in Sun’s life in history was his good performance in the 32-year War of Resistance in Rehe.  This capricious guy does not really come for the so-called national justice, but comes for prestige in order to make a comeback.  He wants to earn reputation for himself in the name of resisting Japan. At the same time, he is also suspected of fishing in troubled waters.  Whether it is Song Zheyuan or Sun Dianying, they must have learned the news that Tang Yulin fled without a fight, and they all wanted to take the opportunity to pick some "peaches".  However, when the second officer learned that Zhang Xinghan had led his troops to Chengde, his heart dropped. Everyone was well aware of each other's intentions.  Sun Dianying led his troops to the Chifeng area and stopped advancing. Song Zheyuan's troops also stayed near Ningcheng, taking a wait-and-see attitude.  At the same time, news came from the Tongliao base area that four Japanese divisions launched an attack on Tongliao from two directions.  Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others led their troops to resist with all their strength.  In view of this situation, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to quietly leave Chengde that night and advance towards Pingquan.  He wanted to defeat the Japanese army as soon as possible, thwart their conspiracy to occupy Rehe, and then return to Tongliao as soon as possible.  Zhang Xinghan knew that the situation in Rehe had changed strangely due to his arrival. He could only withdraw temporarily and let Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying, the Northwest Army, and Tang Yulin's Northeast Army enter and fight with the Japanese, and both sides would lose.  It would be most appropriate to clean up the mess later.  Since one of Tang Yulin's brigade has been incorporated, Zhang Xinghan's trip has been worthwhile.  However, before leaving, Zhang Xinghan still had to add some color to the Japanese army to prevent it from being too disparate in strength from the Chinese local miscellaneous troops in the Rehe area, so that they could maintain a certain balance and stalemate and consume each other.  Another reason that prompted Zhang Xinghan to return quickly was that the Japanese army began to attack the base area aggressively.  Jiang Baili suggested to him that he could take advantage of the Japanese attack and rely on the favorable terrain and established positions to let the divisions and regiments take turns to participate in the battle, and use this actual combat training to train troops.  However, just in case, Zhang Xinghan had to take the tank regiment back, which was just the time to sit back and watch the situation in Rehe.The purpose of finally reaping the benefits of the fisherman.  At twelve o'clock in the morning that night, Zhang Xinghan led the tank regiment, the first motorized infantry regiment (less than one battalion), and the cavalry regiment (less than one battalion) to Hiraquan in a forced march.  Taking advantage of the night, with one hundred No. 4 tanks as the main assault force, a surprise attack was launched on the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.  A torrent of steel composed of a hundred tanks broke into the Japanese army's position with ease. Tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns caused all Japanese soldiers to be shot and fell to the ground wherever the tanks went.  Thousands of officers and soldiers of the cavalry and motorized infantry regiment took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack. The 4th Division, a merchant division from Osaka, was defeated in less than an hour.  Li Zhenyuan and Sabli led the tank regiment and cavalry in hot pursuit until dawn, killing the 4th Division and bleeding into rivers. They stopped the pursuit only after the dead and wounded were lying dead, and quickly withdrew to Pingquan. Soon, under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan,  Withdrew towards Tongliao.  When the Japanese Air Force heard the news and came for reinforcements, Zhang Xinghan's troops were nowhere to be found.  After the defeat of the 4th Division, the Japanese attack on Rehe was immediately suspended. The remnants of the 4th Division were temporarily stationed in the Qinglong County area to be supported by the 7th Division.  "At the same time that Zhang Xinghan led his troops back to the base area, thousands of miles away in Shanghai, a conspiracy directed and performed by the Japanese began to be implemented two days ago.  Two days ago, on April 5th, Japanese agents instigated and directed several Japanese monks to have a dispute with the volunteer volunteers of Shanghai Sanyou Industrial Company, and a fight broke out between the two parties.  Japanese agents secretly instructed some Japanese monks to mingle among the workers and took the opportunity to seriously injure several Japanese monks.  “Then the Japanese announced that a monk had been beaten to death, and used this as an excuse to put pressure on the authorities in Shanghai, China, and instigated young Japanese expatriates in Shanghai to burn Sanyou Industrial Company at night.  ??And hacked to death the three Chinese police officers who rushed after hearing the news.  On April 6, Japan gathered thousands of Japanese people to hold a demonstration in Shanghai, strongly demanding the intervention of the Marine Corps and the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai.  Japanese Consul General in Shanghai Murai Somatsu made four unreasonable demands to the Shanghai mayor: apology, punishment, compensation, and dissolution of anti-Japanese groups.  At the same time, Commander Shiosawa Koichi of the Japanese Navy's 1st Foreign Deployment Fleet stationed in the waters of Shanghai issued a threatening statement, stepping up preparations for war on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese, and began to mobilize troops from Japan to Shanghai.  The war in Shanghai is about to break out.  At this time, almost three months have passed since the Battle of Tongliao. The five Japanese army divisions that suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Tongliao and were transferred back to the country have been reorganized and replenished.  In order to provoke a war in Shanghai and respond to the Kwantung Army's actions in the north, Japan transferred the 9th Division (after replenishment), which suffered minimal losses in the Battle of Tongliao, and sent an additional 3rd Navy Fleet to Shanghai to increase its troops.  ??………Tongliao Northeast New Army Base Area.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to successfully return to Tongliao on April 7. At this time, various departments of the New Army were already engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army in the Qinglong Mountain, Turji Mountain, and Qinghe area.  In addition to the three divisions storming Qinglong Mountain, the Japanese 10th Division set out from Shuangliao and launched an attack from the east of Tongliao along Turji Mountain and the Qinghe River Basin.  However, due to the dense mountains and dense woods here, the attack of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army did not go smoothly. A regiment of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, with the cooperation of the Air Force, blocked the 10th Division in the north of Turki Mountain by virtue of the favorable terrain.  The first line of foothills.  After learning in detail about the general situation of the various Japanese armies, Jiang Baili immediately suggested to Zhang Xinghan: "Master, of the two Japanese armies, only the 10th Division on the East Road is the weakest. I think we can concentrate our superior forces.  , using armored brigades and cavalry regiments to form an assault force, adopting frontal assault and outflanking tactics, striving to eat up the 10th Division. " "However, because the new recruits of the armored brigade have not yet completed their patrols, the armored air defense regiment is basically unable to participate in the battle.  Turki Mountain is also a mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to mobile operations of our armored forces. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected results," Zhang Xinghan said hesitantly.  While the two were discussing, a communications soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry, saluted Zhang Xinghan and others and reported: "Commander, I just got the news that a few hours ago, the Japanese Marine Corps suddenly attacked our 3rd Army in Zhabei, Shanghai.  The 19th Route Army launched an attack, and the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, General Cai Tingkai, has issued a declaration of resistance, vowing to defend Shanghai and Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou to the death! The 78th Division currently stationed in Shanghai is already at war with Japan. "ri" "What?"  The army is attacking Shanghai?" Everyone including Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng were shocked when they heard this.  Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then he understood that this was a trouble deliberately provoked by the Japanese in order to cover the Kwantung Army's invasion of Manchuria.  Although the Shanghai incident happened three months later than in history because of his own arrival, it still happened.  Huang Xiansheng waved his hand to the signal corps.??He left. After the signal soldier saluted, he turned and left.  Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and asked: "Commander, Chief of Staff, what do you think about this?" Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but Jiang Baili smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, the Japanese will not really invade Shanghai, let alone  Invading Nanjing, if they really shift their strategic focus southward, would be far less harmful from a strategic perspective than the Japanese army's policy of occupying Manchuria and cannibalizing North China. "In a word, China is not afraid of swallowing up, but it is afraid of cannibalization."  Nodding, it seems that Jiang Baili has a clear strategic plan for the war that may break out between China and Japan in the future.  "The top priority now is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to practice defensive warfare to train the various units of our new army in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops as soon as possible. Order each regiment to take turns to go into battle and train in actual combat! Without my order, no one is allowed to take risks.  Then attack." Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered.  "Yes!" Huang Xiansheng and others, although confused and did not understand the meaning of Jiang Baili's words just now, still agreed in unison.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 168: Sitting on the sidelines

    Shuangliao County, headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army.  In order to facilitate the command of the troops, the current division commander of the 10th Division, Hirose Hisuke, moved his headquarters from Changchun to Shuangliao.  In the headquarters, Hisuke Hirose was listening to the communication staff's feedback on the progress of the battle situation from the frontline troops.  "The 8th Brigade advanced along the Qinghe River Basin and encountered stubborn resistance from China. It is currently working hard to attack in order to make progress. The 33rd Brigade was also blocked in the mountainous area at the northern foot of Turki Mountain" The communications staff report was completed and the message was closed.  He stood up and said: "The above is the progress of each department of our division. Please give instructions to the division commander." "I am ordering the 8th Brigade to strengthen the attack, but pay attention to air defense. This time we are only supporting roles. The 2nd and 8th Divisions are the only ones."  It is the main offensive force. Our task is to attract and disperse the forces of the Tongliao defenders and complete the mission," Hirose Tosuke Yun Danfengqing said.  "Hai!" the communications staff member responded quickly, lowering his head.  …………Compared with the passive and sabotaging attitude of the 10th Division, the 2nd, 6th and 8th Divisions, which were eager to avenge their shame, and participated in the war for the first time, attacked much more rapidly.  Since they also have the assistance of the air force, although they are unable to defeat the Chinese Air Force in Tongliao, they can provide certain air firepower reinforcements.  Therefore, the attack intensity of the 2nd Division is unprecedented.  The Second Motorized Infantry Division was the first unit to pull up the Qinglong Mountain defense line. More than 9,000 soldiers took turns to fight, braving the rain of bullets to block the attack.  Most of the new recruits, led by veterans, held up their guns and fired continuously in the fortifications.  Bullets flew overhead, and huge explosions were heard from time to time on the battlefield. All these frightened the recruits' hands and feet with cold hands and trembling lips.  But invisibly, they are adapting to such a battlefield subtly, and they are also undergoing the baptism of real war that is far higher than training.  Liang Tingguang, 20 years old, is one of the recruits. He is from Baoding and attended high school. He and his classmates spontaneously came to Tongliao three months ago and signed up to join the Northeast New Army.  Because Liang Tingguang was a civil servant, he was transferred to the First Regiment of the Second Motorized Infantry Division to work as a clerk for the regiment leader Du Ting. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of?Du Ting braved bullet rain and artillery fire to inspect the trenches, as nearly half of the troops were new recruits, just in case.  Du Ting brought some guards and Liang Tingguang and others in, and walked out of the regiment headquarters at the beginning of the battle, patrolling and motivating the frightened recruits.  "Boom boom ta-ta-da" Amidst the deafening explosions and dense gunfire, Liang Tingguang followed Du Ting and could clearly feel the vibrations transmitted from the ground. Every explosion would shake him.  His heart suddenly twitched.  Extremely nervous, he tightened his grip on the strap of the briefcase he was carrying.  While following Du Ting on his inspection tour, suddenly a division head who was lying on the edge of the trench and shooting suddenly fell backward.  Liang Tingguang was horrified to see that there was a wound on the soldier's forehead as big as a jujube, and blood was pouring out from the wound The soldier's eyes were wide open, as if he could not rest in peace.  Seeing this scene, Liang Tingguang's heart suddenly beat faster and faster. It seemed that there was a thousand pounds of weight under his feet, making it difficult to move at all, and he was just frozen in place.  Du Ting was also attracted by this soldier. He turned his head and looked around, as if turning a blind eye to the dead soldiers. He directly said to Liang Tingguang, who was stunned on the spot: "Who is that? What Liang? Don't fucking stick there.  Where are you waiting to die? Follow me back to the regiment headquarters." After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.  It wasn’t until Du Ting had gone a long way with the guards that Liang Tingguang came back to his senses, hurriedly passed over the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and quickly chased after him with his briefcase on his back.  …………… Jinzhou, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army.  Hashimoto Toranosuke is reporting battle reports from various departments to Muto Nobuyoshi: "General, the 4th Division has lost more than one-third and is currently resting in the Qinglong County area. The Imperial Air Force has dispatched many times but has failed to find traces of the China Armored Forces.  "Where is Tongliao?" Muto Xinyi asked.  "The four divisions of the imperial army in Tongliao launched attacks from the east and south at the same time, but the resistance of the Tongliao China Army was very tenacious and the fierce fighting continued." Hashimoto Toranosuke said.  "Rehe Drop must be captured. In this way, the imperial army can attack Tongliao from the northwest of Tongliao, and the Qinglong Mountain defense line and the terrain advantage of the eastern mountains will be lost." Muto Nobuyoshi pondered for a while and said: "  The terrain of Qinglong Mountain is steep, and we are eager to move south. Let's order the 2nd, 6th, and 8th Divisions to stop the frontal attack, and use the 6th and 2nd Divisions to contain the China Army in Tongliao. Move the 8th Division along Horqin's left flank.  The flag advanced towards the Naiman flag and crossed the religiousLaihe, attack in the direction of Chifeng, and attack Chengde from the north and south with the 4th and 7th Divisions. At the same time, the above-mentioned divisions are strictly ordered to strengthen vigilance and search for China's armored forces. Once discovered, they will immediately call in aviation units for bombing support.  You must also be prepared for defense when marching at night!  " "General wise, our Imperial Japanese Navy's First Fleet has already entered into a firefight with China in Shanghai. Domestic reinforcements are rushing to Shanghai urgently. There is no possibility that the main force of China's central army will go north, so it is the imperial army's chance to capture Jehol Province at this time.  The best chance.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke took the opportunity to praise. "Hurry up and pass on the order. Now the imperial army has occupied most of the three northeastern provinces. As long as they capture Rehe, the next target is Tongliao and Zhang Xinghan's headquarters, which can open up frontiers for the empire.  Expanding soil can be regarded as fulfilling my lifelong wish.  "Muto Xinyi waved his hand with emotion. "Hai.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and took the order and left. April 8, Shanghai. The 156th Brigade of the 78th Division, which was stationed in Shanghai at the time, was attacked by the 16th Military Police Division who came to take over the defense.  With the cooperation of the regiment, they repelled the Japanese troops attacking from Hengbang Road, Qiujiang Road, and Baoshan Road, and began to launch a counterattack at Yaotong'an Station and Shanghai North Station occupied by the Japanese troops. After a night of fierce fighting, the Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties.  , Japan retreated from the concession and reached a ceasefire agreement through the mediation of Britain, the United States and other countries. On the same day, Japan's government issued a statement to intimidate and threaten the Chinese government, falsely accusing the Shanghai incident of being caused by China's anti-Japanese movement.  To create an excuse for a large-scale increase of troops, Jiang Guangnai quickly transferred the 60th and 61st Divisions stationed in Nanjing and Suzhou to reinforce Shanghai, and issued a statement of resolute resistance in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Suzhou.  Scholars and young students from all walks of life in Hangzhou organized rescue teams and volunteers to assist the 19th Route Army in the war. The Songhu War of Resistance entered its peak period. At the same time, the Japanese Army was on the battlefield in Tongliao.  The frontal attack was stopped on April 8, and the 8th Division was secretly moved westward to Rehe. After Zhang Xinghan learned of the Japanese movement through air force reconnaissance, he immediately discussed countermeasures with Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and others.  In addition to the two divisions of the attacking Japanese army that retreated to Horqin's left flank and rear banner, another division had already advanced southward with the obvious intention of attacking Rehe.  Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and said, "Everyone, please tell us your opinions."  "Commander, don't be anxious, wait until the Japanese army invades Rehe before making any plans."  "Jiang Baili said meaningfully. "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement. "Commander, Chief of Staff, didn't you say before that there is no room for error in Rehe?  Why are you sitting back and watching the Japanese army enter Rehe now?  "Zhao Zhenfan said in confusion. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other and smiled, and said to Zhao Zhenfan: "Guoping, you will know why soon. The Japanese army stopped attacking, which just gave us a chance to absorb and reorganize what I recruited from Rehe.  Opportunity for eight thousand veterans.  " "What do you mean, Commander?  " Huang Xiansheng asked. " Disorganize all these eight thousand veterans and integrate them into the nine main regiments of our New Army. With their participation, the combat effectiveness of our three divisions will make a qualitative leap.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "One more thing to note is that among the eight thousand Tangbu officers and soldiers, all officers above the company must be replaced. They must be detained together with their brigade commander first and then we can talk about it later.  "Jiang Baili added. "The chief of staff is right. Replace all their company, battalion and regiment level officers. Only in this way can we ensure our absolute control over the eight thousand new recruits.  "Zhang Xinghan agreed. On April 9th, the Japanese Army's 8th Division, 4th Division, and 7th Division divided into three groups and began to attack the Chengde and Chifeng areas. At this time, they were stationed.  Sun Dianying's troops in Chifeng soon started a fierce battle with the 8th Division. Sun Dianying, who had already known about the impending arrival of the Japanese Army, used his main force to set up an ambush in the Yuanbaoshan area to wait for the 8th Division of the Japanese Army to cross.  After crossing the Laoha River, they made a sudden attack and even attacked near the headquarters of the 8th Division. However, due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese army and the lack of assault forces such as armored tanks and vehicles, the Japanese army was forced to withdraw from the battle when reinforcements arrived.  Although Sun Dianying's troops caused certain casualties to the Japanese army in the battle of Yuanbaoshan, as the main force of the Japanese 8th Division arrived one after another, Sun Dianying's troops successively lost their outer positions in Chifeng. By April 10th,  The Japanese army was already approaching the city of Chifeng County. In order to preserve its strength, Sun Dianying ordered his troops to retreat, and the Japanese army occupied Chifeng. At the same time, the first batch of Japanese reinforcements, more than 7,000 marines, arrived in Shanghai.  . After receiving reinforcements, the Japanese army and 10ri broke the armistice agreement and attacked Zhabei and other places again. After fierce fighting, they were defeated again by the heroic 19th Route Army.  The war situation in Shanghai has temporarily fallen into a state of confrontation.  Three days later, the Japanese 9th Division and the newly formed 3rd Fleet arrived, and the commander of the 3rd Fleet, Kozaburo Nomura, became the commander-in-chief.  After Nomura took over the command, he immediately commanded the 9th Division and the Marine Corps to launch another attack on Wusong and Jiangwan.  Cai Tingkai commanded the 19th Route Army to resist desperately. The two sides fought fiercely for several days. The Japanese Army was defeated again by the 19th Army. The despicable Japanese Army once again intervened through Britain and the United States and waited for local reinforcements.  The progress of the battle in Shanghai far exceeded the expectations of the senior leaders of the Japanese base camp. While they urgently sent additional reinforcements, they urged the Kwantung Army to end the northern war as soon as possible, that is, to complete the occupation of Rehe.  Under the urging of the base camp, the 4th Division and the 7th Division arrived at the outskirts of Chengde on April 14th and had a fierce battle with the 106th Brigade of Tangbe and the 29th Army who came for reinforcements.  At the same time, one part of the 8th Division continued to attack Sun Dianying's headquarters, while the main force quickly moved south from Chifeng.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 169: Encirclement and Reinforcement

    The 29th Army is the old foundation of the Northwest Army. It has a strong sense of combat and good combat effectiveness.  The Japanese 4th Division and the 7th Division fought fiercely for three days and nights in Chengde and Japan. Although there were heavy casualties, the positions remained firm.  However, in the end, because the 106th Brigade responsible for the defense of the left wing was defeated by the 8th Division of the Japanese Army coming from Chifeng, the 29th Army was attacked from both sides and had no choice but to retreat.  Chengde fell to the enemy on the evening of April 17th and was occupied by the Japanese army.  After occupying Chengde, the Japanese army pursued the situation non-stop and quickly drove the 29th Army and the remnants of Tangbe out of Rehe, and captured the entire territory of Rehe in less than a week.  However, when the main force of the Japanese army was in the southern area of ??Jehol, they had not yet had time to move back.  Zhang Xinghan, who had been waiting for a long time, assembled a tank regiment, a motorized infantry division and a cavalry regiment to form a powerful mobile force. They set out from Tongliao and took the lead in launching an attack on Chifeng.  At this time, the headquarters of the 8th Division was located in Chifeng, and the newly appointed Kotaro Nakamura was in Chifeng.  At this moment, the strength of the 8th Division remaining in Chifeng is less than one regiment.  Zhang Xinghan commanded the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, easily surrounded Chifeng County, and began a fierce attack.  During this period, Kotaro Nakamura tried to lead his troops to break out, but was attacked head-on by the tank regiment. He suffered heavy losses and fled back to the city in embarrassment.  Unable to break through, Kotaro Nakamura had no choice but to report to the Kwantung Army Headquarters. At the same time, he sent power to the 4th and 7th Divisions and the main division of the headquarters, asking for relief.   "Baga Ya Road, Zhang Xinghan is so cunning!" In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army in Jinzhou, Commander Muto Nobuyoshi learned that the headquarters of the 8th Division was besieged in Chifeng, and he was furious: "Order No.  2. The 6th and 10th Divisions immediately stormed Tongliao, and the aviation force immediately took off and rushed to Chifeng for reinforcements. The 4th and 7th Divisions also needed to go north to Chifeng immediately, and they must arrive before Chifeng County fell, no matter what.  "Hey!" Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly closed his legs, lowered his head and responded, then quickly took the order and left.  ……………In fact, even if Muto Nobuyoshi did not give the order, after learning that the commander of the 8th Division was besieged Chifeng, the 4th and 7th Divisions had already begun an urgent march to Chifeng for reinforcements.  South of Chifeng County, Yuanbao Mountain.  Zhang Xinghan's temporary headquarters is located here. In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan is playing chess with Jiang Baili with great interest.  Zhang Xinghan held a cigarette in one hand and said while playing chess: "Chief of Staff, this is called encirclement for reinforcements, haha, I'm sorry." As he said that, he took one of Jiang Baili's turns.  Jiang Baili sat upright, staring at the chess game, and said: "A violent attack on Chifeng without entering the city not only creates a greater psychological deterrent for the enemy, but also prevents our army from falling into bitter street fighting after entering the city.  After the Japanese reinforcements from the outside were defeated, Chifeng was defeated without attacking! The commander's mastery of tactics and understanding of the enemy's psychology are admirable! " "Haha, the chief of staff praised it." Zhang Xinghan smiled.  , said: "Play chess, keep playing chess." Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili turned their heads and saw Sabu, the commander of the cavalry regiment, walking over in a hurry.  "Reporting to the commander and chief of staff, the reconnaissance unit of our cavalry regiment reports that the Japanese army has passed Chengde and is heading towards Chifeng day and night." Sabli saluted and reported to the second entry.  "Well, continue to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, and report at any time." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "Yes!" Sabli stood up and responded, then turned around and took the order.  ???……………The battlefield in Jehol was changing, and the 19th Route Army in the Songhu area finally ushered in the most brutal battle.  The Japanese Army once again added two more divisions, the 5th and 11th Divisions. Together with the previous 9th Division, the Marine Corps and the Armed Military Bridge, the total strength of the Japanese Army in Shanghai has exceeded 80,000.  It also has nearly 200 sea-based combat aircraft and dozens of various naval vessels.  With the help of naval ships, the Japanese army began to launch a comprehensive general attack on Shanghai. The newly reinforced 5th Division of the Japanese army landed in separate groups. With the assistance of the navy and air force, it penetrated directly into the Yangtze River Estuary, starting from Liuhekou, Yanglinkou, Qi  Yakou suddenly landed and quickly surrounded the defenders' retreat.  When the 19th Route Army was attacked from both sides, General Zhang Zhizhong led the Central Training Corps and two elite military divisions, 87 and 88, to the battlefield in time.  The outflanking troops of the Japanese 5th Division were repulsed and the defense line was temporarily stabilized.  The two sides began a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Shanghai. Since the Chinese defenders had no air superiority and lacked air defense weapons, they were helpless against the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese warships.  Therefore, under the continuous bombing and air raids by the Japanese navy and air force, the casualties were extremely heavy.  The two sides fought fiercely.On August 20, the 19th Route Army and Zhang Zhizhong's Fifth Army finally turned to the defensive due to excessive casualties, and began to shrink their defense lines towards Jiading.  The defeat of the Shanghai War is now inevitable.  ……………… In the early morning of the 20th, Zhang Xinghan had just woken up when he was woken up by Jiang Baili: "Commander, the scouts reported that the main force of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived in Ningcheng, less than fifty kilometers away from us." "  Really? We're finally here." Zhang Xinghan was completely sleepless. He picked up his helmet and put it on. He stood up and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, I'll leave you a tank company and a motorized infantry regiment. You can continue to surround Chifeng.  , again, if you surround but don’t fight, if the little devil wants to break out, I’ll give him a good beating. I’ll personally lead the main force to eat the main force of the 8th Division first.” “Okay, you.  Be more careful." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  "I will." Zhang Xinghan nodded and shouted outside the headquarters: "Commander, order the tank regiment, the first infantry regiment, the second infantry regiment, and the cavalry regiment to all assemble!" Chifeng County  , inside the headquarters of the 8th Division.  Chief of Staff Takayoshi Muraki was reporting to Kotaro Nakamura: "General, the 32nd and 31st Infantry Regiments have arrived in Ningcheng and will arrive within a day at most. The 4th Division and the 7th Division are also arriving as soon as possible.  Come on, the 17th Regiment of our division has also stopped attacking Sun Dianying's troops and is returning eastward at full speed. Reinforcements will arrive soon." Nakamura Kotaro's face showed no joy at all. He only had one 5th Infantryman in his hand.  What puzzled him was that the Chinese army outside the city had almost never launched a serious attack until now.  Most of the attacks were rapid artillery attacks consisting of tanks, artillery and infantry artillery. However, after the artillery bombardment, few infantry launched siege charges.  This made Kotaro Nakamura very confused. What did the Chinese team outside the city think about?  Nakamura Kotaro expressed his confusion. After hearing this, Chief of Staff Koyoshi Muraki was also confused. However, this guy soon said excitedly: "Your Excellency, no matter what the Shinawatra wants to do, as long as we  If we hold on for a while, the main force of our division and the friendly forces of the 4th and 7th divisions will arrive, and then the siege of Chifeng will be lifted. If our three divisions join forces, we will definitely defeat Zhang Xinghan for Tongliao!  The Imperial Army warriors who died in the battle avenge themselves!" Under the influence of the Chief of Staff's optimistic attitude, Nakamura Kotaro nodded, "Order the officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment to strengthen their defense and persist until reinforcements arrive no matter what." "Ha.  "Eh." Xiaoyi Muraki bowed his head happily, turned around and walked away quickly as ordered.  ……………………Laoha River originates from Liuxi Manchu Township in the northwest mountainous area of ????Pingquan County. It enters Chifeng from Dianzi Township in Ningcheng County, flows through the southeast of Chifeng, and meets Naiman in the east of Daxing Township in Wengniute Banner.  At the junction of the banners, it merges with the Xilamulun River to form the southern source of the Xiliao River.  The Laoha River reaches near Xizi Town, about 30 kilometers north of Ningcheng, and meets the Kundulun River to the west.  If the Japanese army wants to reinforce Chifeng from Ningcheng, they must cross the Laoha River and the Kundulun River. Fortunately, due to the low temperature, these two rivers have completely frozen, with the ice thickness reaching 30 to 50 years.  Many centimeters.  The two regiments of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army basically successfully crossed the Laoha River and the Kundulun River without building a bridge at all.  However, just as they had just finished crossing the river and were still gathering, the vanguard reconnaissance unit that had set out first came back in a hurry on their horses.  Before the Japanese commander could ask about the situation, they felt the rumble of a huge motor and the sound of galloping horses coming from the front.  The Japs of the two regiments were all shocked. Through their telescopes, they discovered that on the plain ahead, a large group of Chinese tanks and chariots were roaring towards their side at full speed.  There were groups of cavalry on both wings behind the tank, and a large number of infantry who followed.  The top commanders of the two regiments were frightened and quickly ordered the troops to return to the crossing and prepare to withdraw to the south bank for another resistance. However, thousands of people who entered the camp just said they would go back.  Before the Japanese could escape back to the south bank, the roar of an engine came from the sky in the distance.  A group of Stuka dive bombers, escorted by more than a dozen fighter jets, flew quickly towards this side.  The plane was extremely fast and arrived in the blink of an eye. More than a dozen BF109 fighter jets pounced on the group of Japanese soldiers who were desperately escaping back.  Nearly fifteen Stuka dive bombers aimed at the Kundulun River and Laoha River and dived away.  Flying at an ultra-low altitude, he dropped heavyweight aerial bombs on the river. The violent explosion immediately exploded the frozen river surface. Countless ice cubes and river water were thrown high by the shock wave, and the broken ice cubes were like  It was like sharp shrapnel, causing a lot of damage to the Japanese who were crossing the river.As the bombing progressed, almost all the ice on a stretch of river several kilometers long was destroyed. A large number of Japanese who crossed the river died under the bombing sweep, and some even fell into the freezing cold water and drowned alive.  .  But more Japs were blocked on the north bank, and it was too late to go around and cross the river at this time.  Because the torrent of steel composed of Zhang Xinghan's ninety tanks had rolled over like water, a large number of cavalry also circled around from both wings, completely blocking the escape route of the Japanese army of the 8th Division.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 170: Massacre Battle

    Under the crossfire coverage of ninety tanks and one hundred and eighty mg34 general-purpose machine guns, the chaotic Japanese army fell in pieces like wheat.  Behind the tank group, more than 5,000 infantrymen from two motorized infantry regiments followed in time. Thousands of rifles and hundreds of machine guns poured bullets on the Japanese soldiers' heads like water.  The bombardment of grenades and mortars made the enemy’s situation worse.  There is no suspense in such a battle. This is not the era of cold weapons. It is naturally impossible for Japan to stage a last-ditch battle and turn defeat into victory.  Being surrounded on three sides by nearly a hundred tanks, thousands of cavalry, and more than 5,000 infantry, and facing a dense rain of hundreds of thousands of bullets every minute.  Thousands of Japanese soldiers fell as fast as straw under the blade of a combine harvester.  What's more, there are still more than a dozen Chinese fighter jets in the sky, swooping down, sweeping and bombing.  Massacre, this is a complete massacre battle.  Half an hour later, this massacre battle came to an end as the last remaining Japanese soldiers fell.  Within a few miles of the entire north bank, there were corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. There was no blood everywhere, because under the severe low temperature, after the Japanese soldiers were shot, the hot blood would not flow out much because the blood outside the wound would freeze.  ice and stop.  Some of the blasted ice in the river has begun to re-form with a thin layer of ice.  The corpses of the Japanese floating above were also slowly frozen.  Zhang Xinghan stood on the tank and looked around expressionlessly at the battlefield filled with Japanese corpses.  At this moment, there was no emotion in his heart, as if only a few thousand pigs had died.  It’s not that Zhang Xinghan is cold-blooded, but that no Chinese son or daughter with blood and conscience will have the slightest mercy towards the Japanese invaders.  At the end of the massacre-style battle just now, the frightened Japanese army dropped their guns and knelt down begging for surrender.  There is no doubt that the answer to them was a dense rain of machine gun bullets.  "Xinghan, according to the Air Force reconnaissance report, the remaining two divisions of the Japanese Army should have arrived in Ningcheng County by now." Wang Yizhe, commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, walked over in uniform.  "We should know by now that the main force of the 8th Division has been attacked." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Well, you should know." Wang Yizhe nodded.  "Uncle Wang, please pass on the order. The troops will immediately return to Chifeng, cross the river from Yuanbao Mountain, march eastward, and then go south along the Laoha River and go straight into Ningcheng!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "We want to attack Ningcheng? The Japanese army has two divisions in Ningcheng. If they can't hold on, won't it be difficult to attack by force?" Wang Yizhe said.  "If the Japanese are unable to get out, we will bypass Ningcheng and advance directly to Chengde. We are not afraid that the little devil will not come out." Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  "Well, I'll do it right away." Wang Yizhe nodded, turned and left.  ……………Ningcheng County, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yizhe’s expectations were right. The 4th Division and the 7th Division had already learned that the main force of the 8th Division had been attacked, and in less than an hour,  News that the entire army was wiped out within a short period of time. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 4th Division Commander Abe Nobuyuki and 7th Division Taro Nakagawa quickly ordered the troops to stop advancing and stationed in Ningcheng County.  In Ningcheng County, inside the temporary headquarters of the 4th Division.  Abe Nobuyuki said in shock: "Nakagawa-kun, we have all been fooled. China surrounded Chifeng but did not attack. The purpose was to lure us to reinforce, so that they could ambush us in the middle." Nakagawa Taro nodded with deep understanding.  : "Yes, Mr. Abe is right, but should we just give up our reinforcements to Chifeng? You must know that the headquarters of the 8th Division is in Chifeng City, and Commander Muto Xinyi strictly ordered us to rush our reinforcements."  " "We have to report the actual situation in Rehe clearly to Commander Muto. I think he will make correct judgments and instructions. As for Nakamura Takajun and his division headquarters, we can only express our condolences, Emperor Yao.  Your Majesty will protect them," Abe Nobuyuki said solemnly.  ………………………Jinzhou, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army.  When Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke received the message from Nobuyuki Abe, he was so shocked that he could almost put a duck egg in his mouth.  In panic, he quickly walked into Muto Nobuyoshi's office, suddenly closed his feet and saluted and reported: "Your Excellency, General, we have just received an urgent telegram from the 4th Division from Rehe." "Read it!" Muto Nobuyoshi raised his head and waved his hand.  .  "The 8th Division was surrounded by Chifeng. It was a conspiracy. China was surrounded and did not attack, but it set up heavy troops to ambush the main force of the 8th Division halfway back and rushed back to help, leading toAs a result, the two main regiments of the 8th Division were completely wiped out.  In order to prevent being attacked by China's armored assault troops, our department and friendly forces of the 7th Division have decided to stop marching towards Chifeng, Nobuyuki Abe, commander of the 4th Division.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke said quickly. "What?  "Muto Xinyi stood up suddenly in shock, slapped the table and roared angrily: "Bagaya Road, a bunch of losers!  "General, please calm down. It's not that the Imperial Army is ineffective in fighting, but that the armored assault force of the China Army is too powerful. By the time of the Battle of Tongliao, their size had been at least doubled, and they were calculated and unprepared."  , as well as the timely support of the air force. The imperial army was attacked from both sides, its retreat was blocked, and it lacked effective anti-tank weapons. It is not surprising that it failed.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke comforted. "He was really afraid that the old officer, who was already over sixty years old, would drive Hexi to see the great god Yaotera in a fit of anger. "The corners of Muto Nobuyoshi's mouth couldn't help twitching, and his fists were clenched tightly.  He said angrily: "Zhang Xinghan mobilized such a heavy force to enter Rehe. His Tongliao base area must not have many troops left. He ordered the 2nd, 6th, 10.14th and other divisions to take the opportunity to capture Tongliao. Each division will be divided into main attacks and feint attacks.  , attack with all strength, be the first to invade Tongliao, I will give a grand commendation to His Majesty Emperor Ming Yao!  " "Hai.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke lowered his head and responded, then raised his head and asked: "But, general, what about Chifeng County?  The 8th Division Headquarters and the 5th Infantry Regiment are still trapped.  " Muto Nobuyoshi pondered for a moment and said: "Give General Nakamura Kotaro a power and ask him to find a way to break out of the encirclement at night. If he cannot break out, ask him to show the integrity of an emperor and be loyal to His Majesty the Yao Emperor!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke's expression froze, and then he suddenly lowered his head in response, turned around and left. Chifeng County, 8th Division Headquarters. Xiaoyi Muraki looked a little sad and held the message he just received.  When he walked up to Nakamura Kotaro, he even forgot to salute and said: "General, Commander Muto Nobuyoshi is calling.  "    "Um?  "Kotaro Nakamura raised his head and looked at Xiaoyi Muraki, feeling a hint of ominousness from his expression. He reached out to take the telegram, opened it and read it again. Kotaro Nakamura's face changed again and again, and he suddenly tore the telegram into pieces with his hands.  , clenched into fists, breathing rapidly, and said with twitching mouth corners: "Order the 5th Regiment, all units directly under the division to fight in pieces!  " "General, urgent call from the 17th Infantry Regiment!  "At this time, another Japanese Army communications lieutenant hurriedly walked in. "Nian!  "Kotaro Nakamura gritted his teeth and ordered. "Our unit has got rid of the entanglement of Sun Dianying's troops of the China Army. It will arrive in Chifeng this evening. I have been informed of the destruction of all the 31st and 32nd Infantry Regiments. China is now outside Chifeng City.  The main force of the army has already moved south to Ningcheng. I have decided to attack the Chinese army outside the west gate at 12 o'clock tonight. The general can lead the troops in the city to respond, take the opportunity to break out and evacuate Chifeng, and then make plans.  The commander of the 17th Infantry Regiment, Jusanro Anten, received a telegram.  "The communications lieutenant read quickly. Nakamura Kotaro and Xiaoyi Muraki both brightened up when they heard this. Xiaoyi Muraki said even more excitedly: "General, we still have hope, we haven't reached the last moment yet!  "    "Um.  "Kotaro Nakamura nodded with deep understanding and said: "Inform all departments of the 5th Regiment and Division Headquarters to be prepared, and call back to the Itan Regiment to agree on a time.  " "Hai.  "Xiaoyi Muraki and the communications lieutenant suddenly lowered their heads in response, and immediately turned and left. …………………North of Ningcheng County, on the south bank of the Laoha River. Zhang Xinghan has already led a tank regiment, a cavalry regiment and two  The motorized infantry division arrived here. As he expected, the scouts found out that all the Japanese troops had retreated into the county town. "Commander, what should we do?"  Siege the city?  "Li Zhenyuan, commander of the armored brigade, asked. "It's O, the division commander, who just happened to kill the devils of these two divisions at once.  "Liu Jianguo, deputy commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division. Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said to everyone's surprise: "Order, the troops immediately bypass Ningcheng and advance towards Chengde.  "………………………………In Ningcheng County. Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa were pacing back and forth anxiously in the headquarters. Just when they were getting impatient with waiting, a Japanese cavalry officer walked quickly  After walking into the headquarters, he saluted Erru and said: "Report to your Excellency General, Chinaru did not attack the city, but ran towards the southeast.  "    "What?  Southeast?  "After hearing this, Abe Nobuyuki quickly turned around and walked to the map. When he looked at the map, his face suddenly turned pale, "Is China going to attack Chengde?  " "Abe-kun, what should we do?  "Taro Nakagawa was also sweating on his forehead. &nbsp;"Chengde is the provincial capital of Rehe. The imperial army has just captured it. If we sit back and ignore it, we will probably lose it again!" Nobu Abe paced back and forth as anxiously as ants on a hot pot, and suddenly stopped and said  "Send a message to Commander Muto, yes, let him decide!" "Signal Corps, send a message to Commander Muto immediately. The China Army may bypass the formation and attack Chengde directly. Please request emergency tactical guidance!" Abe Nobuyuki immediately turned around and shouted loudly.  .

    "Nani?" Muto Xinyi stood up and said with surprise: "The Zhang Xinghan Division of the China Army bypassed Ningcheng and marched towards Chengde?" "Yes, it was sent jointly by the commanders of the 4th and 7th Divisions.  There is nothing wrong with the telegram," Hashimoto Toranosuke nodded.  "Baga Ya Road, Zhang Xinghan is so disgusting!" Muto Xinyi was furious and swept away all the office supplies on the desk in front of him.  Documents and other items were scattered all over the floor.  "General, what should we do? Should we order the 4th and 7th Divisions to send troops to reinforce Chengde?" Hashimoto Toranosuke asked cautiously.  Because he knows that Chengde is the capital of Rehe Province and symbolizes the political and economic center of Rehe. For the Japanese Empire, it is absolutely unacceptable to lose something and lose it again.  Even if the Kwantung Army headquarters agrees, the base camp will not agree.  Therefore, no matter how angry Muto Nobuyoshi is, he still has to ask Guijing what to do.  Muto Nobuyoshi roared for a while, and breathed quickly: "If you support Chengde, the 4th and 7th divisions will be attacked by the armored troops of the China Army. This is also Zhang Xinghan's cunning. He knows that the imperial army is not him in the field."  The opponent of the army, so they bypassed Ningcheng and launched an attack on Chengde. The purpose was to lure the imperial army into being fooled. Therefore, Chengde could not send reinforcements, and the reinforcements fell into Zhang Xinghan's trick. " "But, general, Chengde is the first in Rehe.  Are you going to give up on Ichigo Town like this?" Hashimoto Toranosuke said a little worried.  "Zhang Xinghan will not stay in Rehe for long even if he captures Rehe. His purpose is to eliminate the effective strength of the imperial army as much as possible, not to attack the city." Muto Nobuyoshi analyzed more calmly: "So, give it to us immediately.  The 4th and 7th Divisions called back and ordered them to hold on and wait for the opportunity! " On the way to Chengde, Zhang Xinghan was leading his troops slowly.  "Commander, commander!" Zhang Xinghan was sitting on the roof of a tank and was moving forward when a shout came from behind.  Hearing the sound, Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Sabli, the commander of the cavalry regiment, riding up on his horse.  Zhang Xinghan ordered the tank commander to stop, and Sabli caught up with him. He immediately saluted: "Commander, the Japanese army is still unable to retreat, and there is no sign of leaving the city." Zhang Xinghan frowned when he heard this, and thought deeply, this little devil is still here  Are you so calm that you would rather give up Chengde than take any more risks?  "Commander, judging from my humble position, the Japs must have been frightened by us. What should we do next? Should we really attack Chengde, or go back?" Sabli asked.  "Chengde has no danger to defend and can be attacked at any time. Our goal is to eliminate as many effective forces of the Japanese army outside the pass as possible and buy us more time to develop." Zhang Xinghan muttered: "Order the troops to stop advancing immediately and turn around.  Back to Ningcheng, since the little devils are hiding in their turtle shells, I will use my absolute strength to smash their turtle shells and see what the old devil, Nobuyoshi Muto, can do. " "Yes!"  Li quickly turned the horse's head and rode away.  A few hours later, as the sky was getting darker, Zhang Xinghan led his troops and returned, arriving at the outskirts of Ximen, Ningcheng County.  Under the vast night sky, the ninety No. 4 tanks of the tank regiment had been divided into four horizontal formations and lined up.  Next to the tank regiment were 5,000 heavily armed infantrymen of the Motorized Infantry Division. Zhang Xinghan did not order the tank regiment to block the entire city.  He wanted to concentrate his strength to give the Japanese army the strongest blow from one direction, forcing the Japanese army to abandon the city and flee. As long as the Japanese escaped from the city, there would be no suspense about the next battle.  Zhang Xinghan jumped on the roof of a No. 4 tank, pointed at Ningcheng County behind him and said loudly: "The little devils can't hide, because we have nothing to do with them. Brothers, use your strength to show the little devils."  Look at the power of our new Northeast Army. Use our tanks and chariots to break open the turtle shells of the little devils, recapture Ningcheng, and annihilate the Japanese army!" "Recover Ningcheng, annihilate the entire Japanese army!  "Annihilate the Japanese Army!" "Recover Ningcheng and wipe out the Japanese Army!" Thousands of New Army soldiers raised their arms and shouted.  The huge sound waves broke through the sky and could be clearly heard inside and outside Ningcheng County.  In the county town, Nobuyuki Abe, commander of the 4th Division, learned that Zhang Xinghan had led his troops and returned. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and kept pacing back and forth in the headquarters.  Suddenly, there was a shout outside the city, and Abe Nobuyuki stopped in surprise and ran out. He called the staff and asked: "What happened? Where did the sound come from?" The staff shook his head and expressed that he didn't know, but after a while, he personally led the team out.  Taro Nakagawa, the commander of the 7th Division who was investigating the situation, came back in a hurry.  "Nakagawa-kun, how is the situation?" Abe Nobuyuki quickly stepped forward and asked.  &nbsp; "All the Chinese troops are gathered at the west gate, and there are only some cavalry in other directions. It seems that they plan to attack from the west gate." Taro Nakagawa said with a solemn face.  "You and I have a total of more than 30,000 troops. We are defending with all our strength. How can we not defend Ningcheng?" Abe Nobuyuki seemed to be emboldening himself and seemed to ask Nakagawa Taro again.  "No matter what, we must block the attack of Shinaru." Taro Nakagawa thought that there were still 30,000 imperial troops entering the city, and he regained some confidence. The reason why they were so abnormal was really because of these days.  Being beaten by Zhang Xinghan was frightening.  First, there was the Battle of Shenyang, and then the Battle of Tongliao. The 17 permanent divisions of the imperial army were almost "bullied" by Zhang Xinghan.  Abe Nobuyuki's 4th Division was defeated by Zhang Xinghan not long ago and fled in disarray.  And the two regiments of the 8th Division were almost completely wiped out by Zhang Xinghan under their noses.  Under such a psychological influence, it is understandable that they all have some phobias.  Er Rui had just calmed down when the new Northeastern Army outside had begun to attack.  The 75mm tank guns of the ninety tanks were all aimed at the west gate of Ningcheng, and they fired one after another.  In order to completely defeat the Japanese troops in the city and force them to abandon the city and flee, Zhang Xinghan did not give the tank regiment too much scruples. How could anyone enter the war without dying?  Are you timid and want to defeat the 30,000 Japanese troops in the city?  wishful thinking.  In short, winning the war at the expense of a small number of people and sacrificing a small number of people in exchange for the peace and happiness of the vast majority of people is both a helpless move and a very worthwhile move.  Since they have no scruples, the tank crews of the tank regiment can fire as much as they want.  The powerful and intensive artillery fire soon covered the entire city wall section of several hundred meters from the west gate of Ningcheng in flames.  The huge explosion gave people the feeling of a big earthquake, and the ground beneath their feet was shaking.  As the shelling continued, the city wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, began to be overwhelmed, and several sections were blown down one after another.  The Japanese troops guarding the south gate suffered heavy casualties, and more Japanese troops evacuated hurriedly towards some residential buildings in the city.  But soon, the tank regiment’s artillery fire began to extend from the city wall to the residences in the city.  The Japanese hiding in the houses were wiped out in the fierce flames, and some were directly buried alive by the collapsed houses.  When the shelling lasted for two hours, almost all the residential buildings near the west gate of Ningcheng had been razed to the ground, and there were ruins and red smoke everywhere.  Feeling that the heat was almost there, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered Gao Chu, commander of the Second Motorized Infantry Regiment, to lead a battalion. Under the guidance and cover of ten No. 4 tanks, they rushed into the city through several gaps in the collapsed city wall and began a surprise clearing operation in the city.  .  Ten tank troops divided into three groups to guide hundreds of new infantrymen to advance along the three main streets in the city.  The two vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns of the No. 4 tank were vigilant to the front and sides respectively. Once traces of the Japanese troops were found, they would fire violently to clear up the enemy. If they encountered Japanese barricades, they would fire in advance.  The infantrymen continued to advance behind the tanks, and the progress was extremely smooth.  At the Japanese Army Headquarters, a disgraced Japanese Major rushed in in a hurry, and before he could stand at attention and salute, he said: "Your Excellency, two generals, the Chinese army has broken into three groups and rushed into the city. The imperial army cannot resist it at all, and one of them is heading towards  Our headquarters is attacking, the generals should evacuate quickly. " "What?" Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa were shocked and stood up and said: "They are all idiots. There are many civilian houses in the city. Why don't you occupy the base to stop the advance of the Chinese army?  " "General, China has no scruples at all. When they found out that the imperial army was hiding in a civilian house, they opened fire violently without distinguishing between friend and foe. Their tanks were equipped with powerful machine guns, and they had infantry to coordinate with them. There was nothing the imperial army could do.  They are o.  "Mao Zuo explained hurriedly. "Baga, use war artillery to stop the Chinese tanks no matter what.  "Abe Nobuyuki said angrily. "It's useless. The Chinese tank's defensive armor is extremely thick. Even if the imperial army's war artillery can hit it, it cannot destroy it."  " Taro Nakagawa on the side said with an ashen face: "Abe-kun, we should withdraw our troops from Ningcheng as soon as possible. China has gone crazy. They do not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy regardless of the cost. If we continue to hold on, we will not be able to do it until dawn.  , we will be completely wiped out.  " Nobuyuki Abe was a little hesitant. He had suffered a huge loss from Zhang Xinghan in the field and he did not dare to make this decision easily. "If we leave the city, we may be pursued by Chinese tank troops, and we will be even more passive.  "Abe Nobuyuki said worriedly."nbsp; "We can break out separately. In the dark, it is impossible for all the Chinese tank troops to catch up with us." Nakagawa Taro's words woke him up from his dream.  Abe Nobuyuki immediately nodded happily: "Youxi, Mr. Nakagawa, you really reminded me that we can use a small number of troops to drive the Chinese people to break out from the north and south gates, and you and I will lead the main force to quickly evacuate from the east gate."  , Let’s do it like this.” The two old devils said with a proud smile.  …………… Outside the city, as the siege troops deepened, Zhang Xinghan invested two more battalions to meet the troops who entered the city early and consolidate and expand the occupied area.  "Commander, there are Japanese troops leaving the city from both the north and south directions at the same time. Our regiment leader asks for instructions whether to intercept them?" A cavalry communications soldier rushed over on a horse and asked for instructions.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 172: Strangulation in the Night

    "Breaking through from both directions from the north and the south at the same time?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Tell your regimental commanders to first find out the actual strength of the Japanese troops. If they exceed a thousand troops, they will intercept them immediately. If they fall below a thousand troops, leave them alone.  There are more than 30,000 Japanese troops in the city, and the bulk is behind them. " "Yes!" The cavalry saluted and immediately rode away.  After watching the cavalry disappear under the night, Zhang Xinghan said to Wang Yizhe: "Uncle Wang, you stay here and take command. I will take the tank regiment to the east of the city to have a look." "Do you think the Japanese may break out from the east of the city?"  Wang Yizhe asked.  "Judging from the movements of the Japanese, it should be that breaking out from the north gate and south gate is obviously not as convenient as the east gate. What Japan did just now is like making an attack in the east and attacking in the west, concealing the enemy." Zhang Xinghan analyzed.  "You're right, the little devils are so cunning, but when they met you, haha, they had no choice but to walk away without food." Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Xinghan with approval and praised.  There is a saying that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. This is how Wang Yizhe feels now.  Especially the several miraculous battles that Zhang Xinghan commanded in the Northeast during these days created unprecedented glory and honor. His father-in-law was even more happy.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan led the remaining 70 or so tanks of the tank regiment to detour through the south of the city and headed east of Ningcheng.  When passing by the south gate, they happened to encounter Sabli leading the cavalry to kill a small group of Japanese troops.  Several tanks from the tank regiment went up and fired their machine guns at them, and the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground one after another.  Sabli rode a war horse and came up with a saber.  "Lao Sa, what's going on?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Commander, these devils led a group of common people to break out. In order to save these common people, I ordered them to be intercepted and killed." Sabli replied.  "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan said slightly surprised: "It seems that the Japs at the North Gate and South Gate are just bluffing, and the East Gate is the real direction for the Japs to break out." "Commander, let's go to the East Gate to intercept it." Sabli used his saber.  Point towards the east.  "No, since we already know that the Japanese plan to break out from the east gate, let's simply release them all out of the city, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Lao Sa, you gather the cavalry regiment immediately and follow me.  Wait for the Japanese army ten miles to the east of the city, and send another communications unit to inform Division Commander Wang that after the Japanese enter the abandoned city, the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments must not stay in the city. They should leave the city immediately from the east city gate and concentrate machine gun fire to prepare to attack the Japanese from both sides with us.  "Army." "Yes!" Sabli raised his saber in salute, then rode away.  ……………………………Ningcheng County.  "Two generals, the troops are ready. The situation is critical. Please get in the car quickly." At the entrance of the Japanese Army Division Headquarters, a Japanese officer stood next to a military armored vehicle and headed towards the Japanese army who had just walked out of the headquarters compound.  Abe Nobuyuki and Nakagawa Taro Susotedo.  Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa held their sabers in one hand and got into the armored vehicle one after another with their heads lowered.  The armored vehicle immediately started up and roared forward.  A large number of Japanese infantrymen with guns and live ammunition immediately ran to keep up.  Since the Chinese ** team mainly attacked the west gate, the Japanese army's breakout operation went very smoothly, and the success was somewhat beyond the expectations of Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa.  They didn’t expect that the Chinese team had no defense at the east gate.  In the armored vehicle, Abe Nobuyuki said proudly: "Nakagawa-kun, it seems that the stupid Shinobu has been fooled by us. They must have been attracted to the North Gate and South Gate, haha!" "It's o,  That must be the case, thanks to your bluffing plan, Mr. Abe," Taro Nakagawa said with a smile.  The triumphant laughter of the two old devils came from the armored car.  On the grassland ten miles east of the city, more than 70 tanks have been lined up in a line and have been waiting for a long time. Three thousand cavalry, led by Sabli, also lined up behind the tanks with knives on their shoulders.  In the dark night, the bright saber reflected a chilling light under the illumination of the moonlight.  Zhang Xinghan was standing on a tank and smoking. In front of him was an mg34 vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun.  The suffocating wait lasted for less than half an hour, and several cavalrymen cruising in front rushed over quickly.  Zhang Xinghan knew that the Japanese were coming. He threw away the few remaining cigarette butts, raised his hand, paused for about a minute, then suddenly waved it down and shouted: "Attack!" More than seventy tanks started one after another, the roar of the motors  The sounds suddenly came and went, deafening.  Immediately began to accelerate the booming forward, and the cavalry followed the motion to fight the horse.The speed also continues to increase as the tank accelerates.  At the end, all the tank soldiers pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and the motors of more than 70 tanks roared loudly, driving the steel beasts weighing more than 20 tons to rumble forward quickly.  The cavalry also increased their speed to extremely fast speed, following closely behind the tank.  Soon, the New Army assault force composed of tanks and cavalry collided head-on with the retreating Japanese forward.  More than 70 75mm tank guns and more than 150 vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns opened fire first.  Cannonballs fell into the Japs group one after another and exploded one after another. The Japs soldiers were immediately bombed to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and suffered death and injury.  The biggest threat to the Japanese is the fierce shooting of more than a hundred tank machine guns.  The dense rain of bullets almost formed a barrage. Wherever it went, all Japanese soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.  The sudden gunshots and explosions shocked Abe Nobuyuki and Nakagawa Taro, who had just been carried away.  Before the armored vehicle Erri was riding in stopped, Taro Nakagawa kicked the door open and got out of the vehicle nervously with Nobuyuki Abe.  "What's going on?" After getting out of the car, seeing the flash of fire and gunfire in front of him, Abe Nobuyuki asked in shock.  Nakagawa Taro was speechless. Fortunately, soon, a Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly ran over from the front.  After finding Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa, the Japanese second lieutenant almost cried: "Two generals, it's not good. Our forward troops were attacked by the Chinese tank troops. The situation is extremely bad. Please ask the general for emergency tactical guidance."  "What? You mean a Chinese tank unit appeared in front?" Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa changed their expressions.  "Yes." The Japanese second lieutenant nodded to confirm.  Nobuyuki Abe looked at Taro Nakagawa with a shocked face, and immediately fell into silence.  At this time, the gunfire from the front was even louder, and the gunfire was becoming more fierce. It was obvious that the distance was shortening.  "Abe-kun, what do you think we should do? How about we disperse and retreat? This will at least ensure that all the imperial troops can safely evacuate here and get rid of the damn Zhang Xinghan." Taro Nakagawa couldn't hold his breath anymore.  They were all subordinates of his 7th Division. As time passed by, his heart was bleeding.  Abe Nobuyuki frowned. His troops had suffered considerable losses in the battles of the past few days. If they separated from the 7th Division at this time, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.  So he shook his head without hesitation and said: "Brother Zhongchuan, if we divide our forces now, we will be defeated by the Chinese army one by one. I suggest you order your forward troops to resist with all their strength. Let us quickly bypass the battlefield and evacuate to Jianping."  Although Taro was unwilling to do so, the critical situation did not allow him to hesitate too much, so he had to nod in agreement.  “ However, Nobuyuki Abe obviously underestimated Zhang Xinghan, and even more underestimated the assault capability of Zhang Xinghan’s tank regiment.  Before they could escape far, Wang Yizhe and Liu Jianguo led two regiments of the First Motorized Infantry Division to rush out of the city and bite the Japanese rearguard.  At the same time, the tank regiment and cavalry regiment under Zhang Xinghan's personal command also overwhelmingly defeated the Japanese forward troops and pursued them.  ………………………While Zhang Xinghan led his troops to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Ningcheng, Chifeng was more than 200 miles away.  The breakout plan of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army is also quietly underway.  Like Zhang Xinghan in Ningcheng, Jiang Baili is now extremely confident that the Japanese troops in Chifeng City can take the initiative to abandon the city and flee.  Because the New Army’s encirclement and reinforcement plan has been completed, Chifeng County no longer serves as bait at this time.  Therefore, Jiang Baili gathered all the main force of the motorized infantry regiment left by Zhang Xinghan in the direction of the south gate, leaving only some necessary warnings in other directions.  Around 12 o'clock in the morning, a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly rang out from the west gate of Chifeng. Dozens of Northeastern New Army soldiers guarding here immediately opened fire back.  While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Japanese troops in the city suddenly came out from the west gate. Although dozens of new troops had strong firepower, they were attacked from both sides and were outnumbered, so they had to fight and retreat.  The two Japanese armies quickly successfully merged and immediately withdrew towards the northwest.  The sound of gunshots quickly alerted Jiang Baili, "Where are we shooting?" "It sounds like it's in the west direction of the city." Not long after the meeting, an unkempt New Army soldier rushed over with a rifle.  "Chief of Staff, a group of Japs suddenly appeared outside the west gate, and they cooperated with the Japs in the city. Our platoon couldn't resist it, and now they have let the Japs break out of the city." Jiang Baili was not surprised or impatient after hearing this. He pondered for a while and said to the soldier  He ordered: "Return to the team immediately and tell youThe commander of the regiment immediately rushed to the west gate with the tank company. They must catch up with the Japanese army no matter what, and must not let them escape smoothly!  ” …………… on the plains on the eastern outskirts of Ningcheng County. The massacre battle continued. With the addition of the infantry regiment, the Japanese army collapsed completely. The cavalry of Sabli’s cavalry regiment had already finished their battle.  They were firing bullets and waving their sabers to pursue and kill the fleeing Japanese troops. The tank soldiers also drove their tanks to continuously sweep and pursue. Although the Japanese army had an advantage in strength, they were defeated and fled in such a plain area.  Being overtaken by tanks and cavalry on the way, it was impossible to organize effective resistance in time. The New Army's tank regiment was simply invincible to them.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 173: Air Raid on Shanghai

    In the original history, the Japanese invaders often defeated Chinese troops with dozens of times their strength as a regiment or even a brigade.  In addition to the reason for the low training of the Chinese ** team, it is largely due to the fact that the Japanese have an overall lead in rapid firepower, artillery, air force and ground armor. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by No?Fear of Death, there are many such hot-blooded and daring warriors in the Chinese Army.  However, in the face of steel artillery shells, air force bombings and ground armored vehicles, being brave and full of blood will be completely useless.  After all, flesh and blood cannot compete with armored vehicles and tanks made of steel plates.  For example, in a conventional battle, the Japanese can sometimes make the Chinese defenders at a loss with just one or two or four or five tanks and armored vehicles with extremely backward performance and extremely weak armor defense.  .  In the end, they were able to successfully break through the enemy positions whose strength was several or even ten times theirs.  This is the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides. Given the general lack of effective anti-tank weapons in the Chinese Army, no matter how inferior the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles are, they are still invincible.  And this situation is now happening between Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army and the Japanese Army.  Compared with the tanks and armored vehicles used by Japan to deal with the Japanese, the Panzer IV tank now equipped by the tank regiment of the Northeast New Army, which shone throughout World War II, has more powerful firepower.  , more indestructible.  Even more invincible to the Japanese army.  Therefore, after the Japanese army collapsed in this battle, there was no suspense.  It can also be exaggerated to say that in today's China, Zhang Xinghan's tank regiment is definitely a tank and armored force that is close to invincible in plain field mobile battles.  "If we wait until the armored brigade's air defense regiment completes training, as long as we are not fighting near the sea, we will not encounter super-large-caliber bombardment like the Japanese naval gun.  The armored brigade must be invincible.  As the commanders of these two divisions, Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa were not very lucky.  The armored vehicle they were riding in became the target of the New Army tank crews' pursuit during their escape.  During the pursuit, an armor-piercing projectile fired from a tank's 75mm tank gun luckily hit it.  The scorching heat immediately burned Erru to death, and the ensuing explosion blew apart Nobuyuki Abe and Taro Nakagawa and their thin-skinned armored vehicles into ashes.  The battle lasted until Yaoming. Except for a few lucky soldiers who escaped in the dark, most of the 30,000 Japanese troops were wiped out by Zhang Xinghan.  When Yaoliang was cleaning the battlefield, he found that the entire battlefield had stretched for more than ten miles, with corpses of Japanese soldiers and various discarded weapons and ammunition everywhere.  And at the same time.  Jiang Baili commanded the Third Motorized Rifle Regiment and a tank company left to him by Zhang Xinghan after several hours of fierce battle.  Finally, the Japanese 17th Infantry Regiment and the remnants of the 5th Infantry Regiment that escaped from Chifeng were defeated, achieving a good record of annihilating 3,000 enemies.  In this pursuit battle, more than a dozen Panzer IV tanks of the tank company played a great role. With their fierce firepower, powerful assault capabilities and armor protection, they finally defeated the stubborn resistance with the cooperation of the infantry regiment.  The 17th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army.  Once the 17th Infantry Regiment was defeated, the 5th Infantry Regiment, which had suffered heavy losses from the Northeast New Army tanks and artillery bombardment in Chifeng, had only one way to flee.  After cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Xinghan received a report from Jiang Baili and learned that the Chifeng Japanese army had been defeated and Chifeng County had been captured.  Zhang Xinghan, who was in a good mood, ordered his troops to station in Ningcheng to rest and recuperate. After all, Jing's troops had been maneuvering and attacking for many days in a row. They were trapped and lacked horses and were in urgent need of rest and recuperation.  However, less than half a day after resting in Ningcheng, Zhang Xinghan received an urgent telegram jointly sent by Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhenfan from Tongliao.  With the cooperation of the air force, the four divisions of the Japanese Army stormed the defense lines in the east and south directions of Tongliao, especially last night.  The 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army defeated the New Army troops stationed at Turki Mountain on the eastern front during the night.  The eastern front was lost. Although Huang Xiansheng mobilized two reserve regiments in time to fight back, the situation had reached a critical moment that could not be delayed.  Therefore, after discussing with Zhao Zhenfan, Huang Xiansheng decided to request Zhang Xinghan to send his troops back to Tongliao to aid him.  Knowing that Tongliao was in danger, Zhang Xinghan found Jiang Baili in Chifeng and ordered him to lead his troops to return to Tongliao immediately.  He also led his troops to leave Ningcheng in the afternoon, traveling all the way and heading northeast.  ??……………In the evening, Jinzhou Japanese Army Headquarters.  The bad news of the annihilation of the 4th and 7th Divisions and the 8th Army,Eventually it spread to Jinzhou and also reached the ears of Kwantung Army Commander Muto Nobuyoshi.  In the conference room of the headquarters, there were more than a dozen Japanese officers of all levels attending the meeting, but all of them were silent, and the entire conference room was so quiet that it made people panic.  Muto Nobuyoshi sat in the first place, with no trace of emotion on his silent face.  Without any change in expression, his subordinates could not figure out how to respond, so the atmosphere in the conference room seemed particularly depressed and solemn.  After more than ten minutes, Muto Nobuyoshi, who had been silent, slowly opened his mouth: "Let's adjourn the meeting" "General" Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke wanted to say something, but he raised his hand to stop him.  The Japanese officers present at the meeting immediately stood up and left, as if they had been granted amnesty.  It wasn't until all the officers were gone that Hashimoto Toranosuke couldn't help but said: "General, what should we do next?" Muto Nobuyoshi seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, leaning on his chair with a depressed expression, and said slowly:  "Immediately order the 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th Divisions to stop the attack immediately and evacuate Tongliao." "But, General, news just came from the 10th Division and the 14th Division. After last night's night attack, they have been defeated.  If they defeat the enemy in front of them, they will be able to invade Tongliao and win this battle in at most two days," Hashimoto Toranosuke said a little unwillingly.  Muto Nobuyoshi said weakly: "The three imperial army divisions that attacked Rehe were all wiped out. This shows that the combat effectiveness of this unit led by Zhang Xinghan was terrifying. There is no fighting in Rehe now. How could Zhang Xinghan sit back and watch when he heard that Tongliao was in danger?  Ignore? If his mobile troops march at full speed, they will be able to get back to Tongliao at the latest. If we can't defeat the Tongliao defenders before Zhang Xinghan returns to reinforcements, it will be meaningless to continue fighting. " Hashimoto Toranosuke heard this.  , nodded in relief, accepted the order and left.  A day later, Zhang Xinghan led his troops and Jiang Baili returned to the Tongliao base area one after another. However, by this time, the four Japanese army divisions that attacked Tongliao had already withdrawn.  Zhang Xinghan did not continue the pursuit. His troops needed to rest and recuperate, and the recruits needed longer training. The temporary forbearance was to prepare for a substantial and large-scale counterattack in the future.  "Compared with the victory of the Northeastern New Army in the northern battlefield, on the Songhu battlefield in the south, the army suffered heavy losses and frequent reports of defeat.  Although the troops temporarily stopped fighting, Zhang Xinghan continued to pay attention to the progress of the Songhu War of Resistance.  Tongliao, inside the headquarters of the New Army.  Zhang Xinghan put down the latest information obtained by the reconnaissance battalion agents, sighed and said to Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng: "Alas, the Japanese army has increased its troops in Shanghai by tens of thousands, and the 19th Route Army may not be able to hold on for long."  "Principal Jiang does not want to send any more reinforcements. The failure of the Songhu War is a foregone conclusion. Commander, there is no need to worry about it." Jiang Baili seemed to have expected it and was not shocked.  "It's a pity that we are too far apart, otherwise we would have to give some support to the 19th Route Army anyway. They are poorly equipped, and Shanghai is close to the coast. Japan's naval and air force advantages can be brought into play. It is not difficult to imagine that the soldiers of the 19th Route Army are in  What kind of hard and bloody battle is going on?" Huang Xiansheng said sympathetically.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff, I have an idea." "Commander, please tell me." Jiang Baili said solemnly.  "I decided to send fighter planes to Shanghai to support the 19th Route Army. Firstly, it can boost the morale of our navy and civilians in Shanghai. Secondly, it can also announce to the country and even the rest of the world that our Northeastern New Army has once again achieved a great victory in annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese troops.  We must let Japan and the country know that we are the elite troops who are truly capable of fighting the Japanese aggressors and protecting our country." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili pondered for a while and nodded: "I think it's okay, but Commander, the straight-line flight distance from Tongliao to Shanghai is more than 1,300 kilometers, and the round trip is 2,600 miles. Can our fighter planes fly back?" Zhang Xinghan  Hearing this, he smiled easily and said: "Our current tactical bomber He111 has a maximum range of 2,300 kilometers, and our latest fighter jet has a range of 3,000 kilometers, and a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, so it flies to Shanghai  It's not a problem to carry out air strikes against the Japanese army for a certain period of time. " "Oh, that's good." Jiang Baili nodded with relief.  After unifying their opinions, Zhang Xinghan ordered Gao Zhihang to personally lead 20 Zero fighters to carry a certain number of aerial bombs to serve as long-range bombers, and 30 He111 tactical bombers.  We took off from Tongliao Airport and flew straight to Shanghai.  The main air strike mission of the air force led by Gao Zhihang this time was various Japanese warships anchored in the waters offshore Shanghai and the Yangtze River Estuary.  Strive to sink and destroy a Japanese aircraft carrier or large cruiser by surprise.  &nbsp;Thus destroying the morale of the Japanese army and inspiring the southern anti-Japanese compatriots.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  Because the New Army Air Force flew at a higher altitude, the Japanese troops stationed in Dalian did not notice that such an air force had flown towards Shanghai.  At this time, the Japanese navy and air force in Shanghai were still bombing the Chinese defenders in Shanghai with all their strength, without realizing that the danger was approaching them.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 174: Sinking the Fengxiang Aircraft Carrier

    At this time, the Japanese 3rd Fleet and 1st Fleet owned a total of three aircraft carriers.  One of the 3rd fleet is the Fengxiang aircraft carrier. This ship is the world's first true aircraft carrier. It was built in 1921 and officially entered service in 22 years.  The other two are the Kaga and Akagi of the 1st Fleet. These two aircraft carriers are both products of Japan's Eighth-Eight Fleet Plan period, and both were modified from battleships.  Most of the three aircraft carriers are equipped with Type 98 carrier-based fighter jets and Type 99 carrier-based attack aircraft.  The three aircraft carriers, plus the reconnaissance aircraft carried by other cruisers and the sea-based air force base of the Marine Corps in the Japanese concession, have a total of nearly 200 combat aircraft of various types.  The 1st Fleet assigned the 9th Division and the Marine Corps to attack Zhabei.  The 3rd Fleet is responsible for covering the 5th Division's attack on Jiading and other places. In order to facilitate the take-off of carrier-based aircraft and provide powerful naval gun support for the attacking forces, the 3rd Fleet's aircraft carrier Fengxiang is anchored at the estuary of the Yangtze River.  Most of the more than twenty aircraft of various types on the Fengxiang have left the mothership and flown to Jiading and other places to conduct air strikes on the squadron positions and other strategic facilities.  Around the Fengxiang, a large number of thousands-ton light cruisers and anti-aircraft gunboats were cruising in the waters of the Yangtze River and Huangpu River, alerting, and incidentally providing some naval gun fire support to the army's offensive forces.  As for the direction of the open sea, that is the responsibility of the Japanese Navy, so there is no need to worry at all.  Ozawa Kawai is an ordinary sailor on the Hosho, and is usually responsible for ground support work such as guiding the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft.  At this time, most of the carrier-based aircraft had already taken off. Ozawa Kawai had nothing to do for the time being, so he and his companions leaned on the deck guardrail to smoke and chat.  "Ozawa-kun, remember, your hometown is Hokkaido?" Another Japanese sailor asked boredly while smoking a cigarette.  "Yes, I am Hokkaido." Ozawa Kawai nodded hurriedly.  "I heard your hot springs in Hokkaido are pretty good, but it's a pity that I never had the chance to try them." The Japanese sailor sighed.  "It's very good, especially taking a long bath in the hot springs in winter is good for your health. I heard it can also prolong your life." Ozawa Kawai nodded.  "By the way, Ozawa-kun, I heard that there is a custom there where you can do that kind of thing with a beautiful woman in the hot spring, right?" The Japanese sailor suddenly asked with a sinister smile on his face.  .  Ozawa Kawai said with a proud smile: "You know this? To tell you the truth, I once passed a nineteen-year-old girl in a hot spring. It was really cool." "Yo Xi, that must be very good.  It's cool." The Japanese soldier nodded and smiled: "I really want to try it if I have the chance." "After returning home this time, I will take you to Hokkaido to try it?" Ozawa Kawai said with a smile.  "That's great." The Japanese soldier nodded repeatedly with his eyes shining.  He put in a cigarette to see if it was finished. At this moment, a deafening engine roar suddenly sounded in the sky far north of the deck.  Ozawa Kawai quickly said to his companions: "Hurry, our fighter planes are returning, and we are ready to guide and pick them up." The two hurriedly ran towards the work place, but when they were halfway there, the sharp-eyed Ozawa suddenly heard the small footsteps, and his companions were not surprised.  He asked calmly: "Ozawa-kun, what's wrong with you?" Ozawa Kawai's eyes were fixed on the group of fighter planes that were getting closer and closer in the sky. Finally, his face changed drastically, and he pointed at the group of planes and said loudly: "That's not it.  Our plane is an enemy plane, and the enemy plane is attacking! ! ” At the same time that Ozawa Kawai discovered the abnormality, the Japanese lookout soldiers also discovered that something was wrong, and the entire Fengxiang aircraft carrier suddenly fell into tension and chaos.  At this time, the Fengxiang's anti-aircraft firepower was very weak, with only two 40-caliber three-year-old anti-aircraft guns, and the rest were all 14cm-caliber single-mounted naval guns.  Soon, Gao Zhihang led twenty Zero fighters and thirty He111 bombers to attack the behemoth Fengxiang.  By the time the surveillance ships outside the Fengxiang discovered it and opened fire for air defense, it was too late.  The aircraft was extremely fast and passed by almost in the blink of an eye. The anti-aircraft firepower on the Japanese anti-aircraft gunboats and cruisers basically fell into the air. The air defense firepower was like a kite string blown by the wind in the air, just like the New Army fighter jets in the Northeast.  The back of the butt is swaying.  Although the two anti-aircraft guns on the Fengxiang tried their best to block the attack, they could no longer stop the fighter planes flown by Gao Zhihang and his men.  Gao Zhihang personally piloted the fighter plane and headed straight for the aircraft carrier deck and hangar under the cover of two wingmen.  The Japanese sailor Ozawa Kawai and his companions were stunned on the deck until they saw a series of bullets fired from the Yaokong aircraft and poured onto the deck. The deck was hit by sparks.  They just came back to their senses, turned around and ran away in a hurry.  After flying a fighter plane to sweep the deck, Gao Zhihang immediately pressed the bomb release button, and several fifty-kilogram aerial bombs suddenly crashed towards the Japanese hangar with a harsh whistling sound.  "Boom, boom, boom" Although the power of the fifty-kilogram aerial bomb could not be compared with that of the heavy aerial bomb, it still destroyed the Japanese hangar. Several large holes were blown in the deck, and the hangar caught fire.  , several reserve aircraft inside exploded one after another.  After the first wave of bombing was completed, Gao Zhihang immediately pulled up. The two wingmen following his plane also dropped bombs one after another, followed by the increase.  When Gao Zhihang and the others flew several hundred meters before turning around, a dozen fighter jets and thirty He111 bombers flown by other pilots had already flown by, launching carpet bombing and mopping up the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.  The sweeps and bombings of the Zero fighter jets were not enough to cause fatal damage to the Fengxiang, but the aerial bombs weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms carried by thirty He111 bombers were different.  With a series of explosions, the entire Fengxiang aircraft carrier was plunged into a sea of ??fire. In the light of the fire, the huge explosions continued.  With only the first wave of attacks, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier was already doomed.  After deciding that there was no way to save the large Japanese warship under attack (Gao Zhihang didn’t know yet that they were attacking a Japanese aircraft carrier), Gao Zhihang no longer wasted precious voyage and ammunition.  You can order the troops via radio to pounce on the Japanese ground troops that have landed.  The 5th Division and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army were both attacked by air strikes from the Northeast New Army Flying Group.  In the end, Gao Zhihang led twenty Zero fighters still over Shanghai, and a dozen naval carrier-based aircraft from the Fengxiang returned after hearing the news.  The two sides engaged in a fierce battle over Shanghai.  On the ground, countless Shanghai navy and civilians had tears in their eyes, running to tell each other, pointing to the air and shouting like crazy: "Compatriots, look, that is our air force, that is our Chinese air force!" More and more  Many Shanghai citizens gathered on the streets. They were worried and worried about the Chinese Air Force that was fighting with Japanese planes in the air.  However, soon, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their worries were completely unnecessary.  The two sides fought fiercely in the air for more than ten minutes. All the planes that were shot down and destroyed were planes with plaster flags painted on them. Not a single Chinese Air Force fighter plane fell down.  When Gao Zhihang wiped out this Japanese military aircraft group, he led his fighter planes to continuously circle and pass over Shanghai to pay tribute to countless Shanghai citizens.  Tens of thousands of Shanghai citizens suddenly fell into a state of crazy ecstasy. Under the impact of huge joy, many people burst into tears. ????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you are not living in this era, it is difficult to empathize with it. When a country has no sea power or air supremacy, and it cruises on the sea, all the ships and aircraft flying in the sky are enemy countries' ships and aircraft.  And because our own troops have no air control and sea control, they are passively attacked and have to make heavy sacrifices to defend the country.  It is conceivable how sad and disappointed the Shanghai citizens who witnessed all this with their own eyes felt.  The emergence of the Northeast New Army Air Force led by Gao Zhihang gave the people hope and pride.  When Gao Zhihang led his men to annihilate the arrogant and domineering Japanese army, many people could no longer control their long-repressed emotions.  They need to be released, completely released.  After calculating that the voyage was almost done, Gao Zhihang led the team to return.  However, at this time, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier located at the mouth of the Yangtze River had begun to take in a large amount of water, and half of its hull had sunk into the water.  Around it, many Japanese ships, large and small, were busy coercing the naval officers and soldiers on the Fengxiang aircraft carrier, trying to prevent the Fengxiang from sinking and save this aircraft carrier, which represented the honor of the Imperial Navy.  But all this is in vain. Anyone with a clear eye knows that there is no way to save the severely damaged Fengxiang. The only thing waiting for it is to sink and break.  About three hours later, Gao Zhihang led the mixed fleet of the flight group back to the Tongliao base smoothly.  Since he did not know that they were attacking a Japanese aircraft carrier, Gao Zhihang only mentioned in his report to Zhang Xinghan that he had destroyed and sunk an enemy naval warship of larger tonnage, possibly a heavy cruiser or battleship.  Zhang Xinghan didn't take it to heart. After all, this time he sent the air force to Shanghai to attack the Japanese army. He focused on the political impact. As for the result, it was not the most important.  Two days later, the Blue Clothes Secret Service learned of the shocking news.  Dai Li knew that this matter was of great significance and did not dare to neglect it. He quickly went to Nanjing to report to President Jiang in person.  "Principal, the student justWe received accurate information that the Japanese ship that the Northeast Air Force sank at the mouth of the Yangtze River two years ago turned out to be a Japanese aircraft carrier named Fengxiang.  "In Jiang Guilin's guest room, Dai Li reported excitedly. "What did you say?  The Northeast Air Force sank a Japanese aircraft carrier?  "Principal Jiang was also shocked when he heard this. "Yes, principal, as far as I know, the Fengxiang aircraft carrier is the world's first new aircraft carrier, which is of great significance to the Japanese Navy and even the world's navies.  "Dai Li nodded and said. "Damn it, the Northeast Air Force is so beautiful this time, but how could it be possible to lose money and join an aircraft carrier?  It's unbelievable.  "Principal Jiang was also very excited and said: "Immediately make this news public to the world, so that all the Japanese people and Western countries can see the strength of our Chinese Air Force.  Oh, by the way, I will send a message to Zhang Xinghan later, asking who is leading the air strike this time and what his name is. I want to reward him well.  "

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 175: Armed Forces Preparation

    "Commander, Chief of Staff, I just received news that my flight group sank the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Fengxiang in Shanghai two days ago." Deputy Commander Zhao Zhenfan of the Tongliao New Army Headquarters said to Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  "Is this true?" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili both looked slightly moved, "Why didn't Ziheng report it before?" "Commander, it seems that when Commander Gao came back, he mentioned in his report that they sank a Japanese ship.  A large warship," Jiang Baili recalled.  "Commander, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter. Principal Jiang from Nanjing has called to ask who the commander who led the air attack on the Japanese army was, and said he wanted to be rewarded." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "It's really gratifying. Since the advent of aircraft carriers, no team has sunk an enemy aircraft carrier in the history of world wars. We have set a precedent. Zi Heng and the flight group  The soldiers of the Japanese army created a miracle that can be recorded in history! " "That's right. Sinking an aircraft carrier in Japan will not only cause a huge shock in the world, but it will also be a huge blow to Japan.  It's no less than eating their entire division." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement.  "Brother Guoping, call President Jiang back and report the names, place of origin and other detailed information of all our New Army pilots who participated in the air raid on Shanghai in the past two days, and give credit to Gao Zhihang and the pilots!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan immediately took the order and left.  Zhang Xinghan and others had expected it. All the military and political circles at home and abroad in Japan were shocked when they learned that their first aircraft carrier, the Fengxiang, had been sunk.  It is no exaggeration to say that the whole country was shocked. Since defeating the Beiyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Japan has considered itself the number one naval power in Asia.  After decades of development, Japan has built its navy into the dominant force in Asia. Coupled with Japan's arrogant self-confidence, Japan's navy has always been regarded as an invincible and powerful force.  There is a saying that has been popular within the Japanese Navy, that is, within the thousands of miles of blue water around the Japanese island, the combined fleet of the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy has no rival.  As for the waters of China and even the Korean Peninsula, they are the back garden and training base of the Japanese Navy.  Under such a mentality, the first aircraft carrier in Japan’s most proud naval fleet and the world’s first aircraft carrier was destroyed and sunk by the Chinese Air Force in the waters of the Yangtze Estuary in China.  Such news has an impact on Japan’s main island, which is tantamount to throwing a heavy bomb into the crowd.  The whole country in Japan is mourning for their first aircraft carrier.  The extremely angry Japanese authorities ordered the Shanghai dispatched troops to capture Shanghai no matter what and avenge the sinking of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.  As a result, the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force, after stopping for two days, once again launched a full-scale attack on the Shanghai Chinese Army's defense line.  The 19th Route Army and the 5th Army were already at the end of their efforts, and the national government was reluctant to send additional reinforcements.  After three fierce battles with the Japanese army, the 19th Route Army and the 5th Army were finally defeated by the Japanese army due to heavy casualties. On May 18, 21st year of the Republic of China, Shanghai was captured by the Japanese army.  The 19th Route Army and the 5th Army were forced to retreat along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway and Highway, and continued to resist relying on Wu Fu and other defense lines.  Because the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in Shanghai, and the Kwantung Army in the north suffered another defeat, the three divisions were almost completely wiped out by Zhang Xinghan in Rehe.  After the pursuit and attack reached the Zhenru and Nanxiang areas, they stopped going deeper, and the Songhu War of Resistance ended.  In order to gain more time to complete their plans to fight against the rebellion and suppress the bandits, and to pacify the outside world and internal peace, the Nanjing government, headed by Chiang Kai-shek, signed the Songhu Armistice Agreement with the Japanese through the mediation of Britain, the United States and other countries, which was humiliating to the country and humiliating the country.  And the 19th Route Army, which fought bravely in the war, withdrew from the Songhu area.  Regarding this historical fact, Zhang Xinghan is still beyond his reach at this moment and cannot take it into consideration. He is fully training and integrating his 50,000 new Northeastern troops.  With 8,000 Northeastern veterans recruited from Rehe, the total strength of the Northeastern New Army has increased to more than 50,000.  With the addition of these veterans, once the integration and tempering is completed, the combat effectiveness of the new army will quickly undergo a qualitative leap.  As for the Japanese Kwantung Army, due to the annihilation of the 4th, 7th, and 8th divisions and their vitality, and the need to consolidate most of the occupied areas, they have no time to attack the New Army in Tongliao for the time being.  However, the growing strength of the Tongliao New Army has attracted enough attention from the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese base camp. The Japanese are trying their best to produce and expand armaments, and have begun to seek exchanges of interests and the import of strategic materials from Western powers and other countries.  Loans and other matters.  ri is accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.  Zhang Xinghan is also accumulating strength. What is his next step?The goal is no longer as simple as resisting Japan in Northeast China.  The Northeast New Army under his command has developed to this stage. Next, he will not only regain the Northeast and completely expel the Japanese from the Liaodong Peninsula, but also use the Northeast as a base to establish a powerful, brand-new Northeast China Border Defense Force.  . ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? with awe, will eliminate all threats to future generations of the Chinese nation.  "Ready, fire" Following the order from the commander of the armored brigade air defense regiment, the air defense regiment was conducting an air defense training exercise in the northern plains of Tongliao, with dozens of 88 anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of  The high-altitude machine guns roared one after another.  The sky was instantly filled with dense air defense firepower. Since there were no target drones, the targets of the air defense regiment's aerial attacks were hundreds of freely floating hot air balloons.  Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan provided the air defense regiment with an almost inexhaustible supply of ammunition, which allowed these rookies to fire as much as they wanted.  In fact, in Zhang Xinghan’s vision, the real deal with enemy air power still has to rely on one’s own air force fighters.  The establishment of the air defense regiment is more about providing some air defense fire support to the armored forces at critical moments. What Zhang Xinghan values ????more is the powerful firepower of the 88mm anti-aircraft cannon and 12,7mm anti-shè machine gun to cooperate with the tank regiment's attack.  Enemy ground targets, assist the tank regiment in clearing obstacles, and complete strategic assault attacks. This is why Zhang Xinghan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to form this armored air defense regiment.  As a later time traveler, Zhang Xinghan naturally knew how important the armored assault force would play in the 1930s and 1940s.  Germany’s armored strategic blitz destroyed countless countries in less than a year and swept across most of Europe. This shows the importance of armored forces and air force in modern warfare.  Under intensive anti-aircraft fire, most of the hot air balloons were shot down one after another.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili rode in a military GUP vehicle to watch the training of the air defense regiment from a distance.  Looking at the dazzling rapid firepower, Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan with emotion: "Commander, once upon a time, China also had such powerful air defense firepower. Looking back on it, it's like a dream." "  Chief of Staff, this is just the prototype of the air defense force. In the future, we will have more powerful ground air defense forces and air forces. Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is. This will no longer be an empty talk!" Zhang Xinghan said!  "Yeah." Jiang Baili nodded repeatedly with conviction.  In the following days, Zhang Xinghan organized financial resources to start building a modern highway bridge in the Tongliao section of the West Liao River to facilitate the movement of troops.  At the same time, he expanded the recruitment of absentees, increased the mining of the Huolinhe coal mine, and obtained more coal for sale. At the same time, he also used a large number of captured Japanese-style weapons to cooperate with warlord factions such as Sun Dianying, the Ma family in the northwest, and the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan.  Several transactions. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Basically solved the daily expenses of the New Army’s military pay and other needs for the time being.  During the training of the new army, Song Zheyuan had replaced Tang Yulin as the new chairman of Rehe Province because of his meritorious service in leading his troops to fight against the Japanese invaders in Rehe.  The remnants of Tang Yulin's army were also divided between him and Sun Dianying. Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying used the good reputation they earned from fighting against the Japanese invaders in Rehe to begin recruiting troops and expanding their forces in Rehe, Chahar, Hebei, Suiyuan and other places.  The strength of the unit.  In just three months, Song Zheyuan's troops had expanded to more than 50,000, and Sun Dianying's troops had also expanded to more than 40,000.  In just a few months, they have grown from the remnants of the Northwest Army into a small military group that cannot be ignored in the Rehe and Chahar regions.  Time flies, time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it has been almost five months since the end of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War.  Zhang Xinghan's 50,000 new troops have completed basic military training, but what they lack is real combat baptism.  On the runway of Tongliao Airport, Zhang Xinghan came to a BF109 fighter jet surrounded by Shen Xingye.  Zhang Xinghua has put on a flight suit and is preparing to board the plane. In the past few months, Zhang Xinghua and most of the students who joined the flight group at the same time have gradually mastered flying skills.  Today is the first time that he and his colleagues have piloted a fighter jet alone for a test flight. Zhang Xinghan heard the news and came here to visit It has been nearly a year since September 18th that Zhang Xinghua abandoned his writing and joined the army. Today, he has long since faded away from his original immaturity.  , The skin color is also tanned a lot.  "However, my mental state is much better than when I first left campus, and I am more mature and calm.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghua and other pilots stood up and saluted: "Commander!" Zhang Xinghan returned the salute with a smile and left.Zhang Xinghua came forward and helped him tidy up his flight suit. He patted his shoulders and encouraged with a smile: "Brother, come on!" "Yes, I can!" Zhang Xinghua nodded solemnly.  Zhang Xinghan took a few steps back, glanced at the nearby pilots, and said loudly: "Brothers, after more than half a year of training, I think you have become outstanding enough. Now it is time to prove yourself, show your best  The outstanding results prove to me that you use your ability to defend the motherland Lan Yao! "

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 176: Conquest of Manchukuo

    "Serve the country with loyalty, sacrifice one's life for righteousness, and defend the airspace of the motherland to the death!" Dozens of pilots shouted exciting slogans and boarded the plane one after another.  The bf109 driven by Zhang Xinghua was the first to start. After ground inspection preparations were completed, it drove out of the apron and accelerated along the runway toward the end.  When the speed increased to a certain level, as Zhang Xinghua slowly lifted up, the plane began to take off and successfully flew into Lan Yao.  …When Zhang Xinghua returned to the headquarters from the airport, he saw that Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan had abnormal expressions on their faces.  Before he could ask, Zhao Zhenfan came up to him when he saw him, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Commander, you are back." "Guoping, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Xinghua asked.  "I just got the news that the former Qing Emperor Puyi was the head of state and announced the establishment of the Manchu Empire in the Northeast." Zhao Zhenfan said with a serious expression.  "What? The Manchu Empire?" Zhang Xinghua was shocked when he heard this.  "Yes." Jiang Baili took the words and said: "In fact, even if the Japanese support the puppet regime, they use Puyi as a puppet to achieve their actual control of our three northeastern provinces." It turns out that in the past four months,  The Japanese Kwantung Army gradually consolidated the occupied areas. The anti-Japanese volunteers such as Mazhanshan and Zhao Zhenhe in Heilongjiang were defeated one after another. Zhao Zhenhe and his remaining troops disappeared, and Mazhanshan retreated into the Soviet Union.  After nearly half a year of preparation, Japan announced to the world in Dalian that the Manchu Empire was established, and Puyi became the ruler of Manchuria.  When the Manchu Empire was established, the emperor Puyi announced to the world that the so-called strategic alliance between Japan and Manchuria was openly used as a puppet and lackey by Japan. However, the Manchu Empire at this time was slightly different from that in history.  Due to the presence of Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army in Tongliao, the Japanese did not dare to set the capital of Puyi in Changchun, which was less than five hundred miles away from Tongliao. Instead, Gulin, the provincial capital of Gulin, was renamed Xinjing and Gulin was officially the capital.  In addition to choosing the ancient forest farther away from Tongliao, the Japanese also helped Puyi to recruit members of the former Northeastern military and political affairs, including Yu Zhishan, Xi Qia, Zhang Jinghui, and the Han troops led by Gu Xing to form the puppet Manchuria Emperor*  *.  At the same time, several divisions of the Japanese army were deployed along the South Manchuria Railway and the North Manchuria Railway, and a large number of civilians were forced to build a large number of permanent defenses to guard against Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army.  It has been reported that Japan openly supported Puyi in establishing the Manchu Empire in the Northeast and divided the inherent territory of the Chinese nation, which immediately aroused strong opposition from 40 million Chinese compatriots.  Countless foreigners in hundreds of large and medium-sized cities on both sides of the Pass and in hundreds of large and medium-sized cities inside and outside the Yangtze River have spontaneously organized marches, petitions and protests to petition the government to send troops to the Northeast to conquer the rebellion of Manchu and Mongolia, regain lost territory, and defend the territorial integrity and national dignity of the Chinese nation.  However, at this time, apart from making strong diplomatic protests and refusing to recognize Puyi's Manchu and Mongolian empire, the national government could not take any other practical action.  Send troops to the Northeast?  Don't be kidding, not to mention that there are now many warlords in North China, and the orders of the national government cannot cross the Yellow River. Even in the south, Chairman Chiang has not figured it out yet.  In the headquarters, Huang Xiansheng said sadly: "The Japanese have been bullied too much. The country is so cowardly and incompetent. It is really a pity!" Zhang Xinghan thought for a long time, looked at Jiang Baili and others, and said: "Send the order, I am in the northeast.  All the officers and men of the New Army will prepare for war immediately, to conquer the Puppet Manchukuo for the country and the nation, and at the same time electrify the whole country. Once a shot is fired, the Northeast New Army will never sit back and watch the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo. All the officers and men of the Northeast New Army will defend it at all costs.  The territorial integrity of the country and the national dignity of the Chinese nation will be defended! " "I think it is possible. Our new army has just formed and is in need of actual combat training. It is just an excuse to send troops. Now the compatriots across the country are filled with indignation. By sending troops, we will definitely win.  Great support and reputation." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  "Chief of Staff, I'll leave the conquest message to you. Let's discuss the specific troop dispatch plan first," Zhang Xinghan said.  “I wonder what the commander’s plans are?” Jiang Baili asked.  "Gu Lin is the capital of the Puppet Manchukuo State. As the saying goes, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. I decided to lead my new army in a strategic assault to bypass the Japanese railway defense line, penetrate directly into Gu Lin, and first capture the so-called bullshit capital of Puyi.  "Zhang Xinghan said without thinking.  "This is the best. If Gulin can be captured, it will definitely deal a serious blow to the Japanese and puppet troops. It is the most effective way to prevent the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo." Jiang Baili paused and said: "However, the Japanese are now in  A large number of troops are deployed along the railway. It will not be easy to break through and attack the ancient forest! " "I have my own plan for this," Zhang Xinghan said with a mysterious smile.  ……………Three days later, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan, Huang Xiansheng, Wang YizheThe name issued a telegraph statement to the whole country, saying that it would carry out military operations to conquer and quell the puppet Manchukuo, resolutely defend national sovereignty, and eliminate any enemy attempts to split China's territory  The joint power of attorney has been sent out, and the whole country is excited. The reputation of Zhang Xinghan and his Northeastern New Army has once again reached an unprecedented height.  ……………Nanjing, Jiang Gong’s residence.  The chief of guard carefully read the telegram statement from Zhang Xinghan and others to Chairman Chiang.  After the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, Jiang Zhongzheng was recommended by Wang Jingwei and officially served as chairman of the Chinese National Government Military Commission, thus beginning a situation in which Wang was in charge and Chiang was in charge of the army.  Chairman Jiang quietly listened to Wang Shihe's report. After a long silence, he said, "I understand." After saying this, he waved his hand and signaled Wang Shihe to leave.  At this moment, Chairman Chiang’s mood was complicated. He was relieved that there was only Zhang Xinghan, a resisting general in the Northeast. Even when Zhang Xinghan led his troops to send a telegram to march against the puppet Manchukuo, he also acquiesced.  But on the other hand, Chairman Chiang is inevitably a little uncomfortable. In the past six months, Zhang Xinghan has emerged in the Northeast, winning successive battles against Japan, and gained extremely high political prestige. His personal political prestige and limelight  Even overshadowing him as a leader.  No one can deal with this calmly.  Therefore, Chairman Chiang is caught in a contradiction in his thinking. He not only hopes that Zhang Xinghan can continue to contain and consume the Japanese in the Northeast, making him unable to spy on the pass, but he is also deeply afraid that a second local warlord of the Zhang family will appear in the Northeast.  However, considering the lesser of the two, Chairman Chiang decided to sit back and let Zhang Xinghan worry about the Northeast and Japan.  At worst, after consolidating the customs, there will be another Northern Expedition and a full-scale war with Japan. At this time, Jiang Gong does not have much confidence, but in dealing with these domestic warlords, especially in political games, Principal Jiang is still somewhat confident.  ??……………Beiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Zhang Xueliang was very angry at the moment and was throwing things in the study.  Zhang Xueliang was extremely angry and depressed at the moment. Since the September 18th Incident, he and Zhang Xinghan have almost become representatives of the good and the bad.  Of course, he is the one who is against it, and Zhang Xinghan is the one who is upright.  Because all Zhang Xinghan’s actions were contrary to him, his actions highlighted all the shortcomings of Zhang Xueliang.  Nowadays, Puyi, a bastard, is trying to establish some kind of bullshit Manchu Empire on his own territory with the support of the Japanese, and Zhang Xinghan immediately issued a message to send troops to conquer.  “In a sense, Zhang Xinghan’s actions were a slap in Zhang Xueliang’s face.  So after hearing the news, Marshal Zhang was angry and ashamed. When he had no choice but to take it out on his four treasures of the study.  …………………………… Dalian Lushun, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  After the Battle of Jehol, Muto Nobuyoshi moved his headquarters back to Lushun.  In the headquarters, Muto Nobuyoshi put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and said to Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke: "Hashimoto-kun, what do you think about this matter?" "General, there is no need to worry. After several months of emergency repairs, the emperor is now  The military departments learned from the reasons for previous failures and based on Zhang Xinghan's combat characteristics, they have built a large number of permanent defense fortifications in important urban strongholds along the South Manchuria Railway, and formed mobile units with a large number of armed armored vehicles to establish a complete defense  "It is absolutely wishful thinking for Shinaru to break through the imperial army's railway defense line."  Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and ordered: "We still need to inform all the troops of the imperial army to be vigilant, take strict precautions, and ensure safety along the railway. The base camp is currently studying how to eliminate Zhang Xinghan's resistance army in the next stage.  Our current task is to ensure the security of Manchukuo except Tongliao and make it a production base that can continuously provide coal, steel, cotton, and food for the Japanese Empire. "Hai!" Hashimoto Toranosuke immediately bowed his head.  He said, then turned and left.  ………………… Tongliao, the base area of ??the New Army.  Zhang Xinghan started preparations before the power was released. So far, 50,000 New Army soldiers have completed their assembly, and supplies such as food and ammunition have been prepared.  After discussions with Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others, Zhang Xinghan decided to use the first and second motorized infantry divisions and the entire armored brigade to form an armored mobile force, which he would personally command and lead to implement the strategic attack on Gulin.  Jiang Baili led the Third Motorized Infantry Division south from Qinglong Mountain and pretended to attack Zhangwu and other places. The Fourth Motorized Infantry Division stayed at the Tongliao base and was responsible for supporting the Third Motorized Infantry Division.  There are hundreds of people on the playgroundCountless tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks, and motorcycles were parked neatly together, and tens of thousands of New Army officers and soldiers were fully armed and on standby.  On the rostrum, Zhang Xinghan saluted Huang Xiansheng, Jiang Baili and others: "Deputy division commander, chief of staff, take care of everything!" "Commander, take care!" Huang Xiansheng and others said in return.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, turned around, glanced at the tens of thousands of subordinates on the playground, raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 177: Feint Attack on Siping

    Zhang Xinghan gave an order, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the two infantry divisions began to wait for the train in an orderly manner.  The tanks and armored vehicles of the armored brigade also started up one after another, slowly driving out of the Tongliao base area and advancing eastward.  Regarding the tactical arrangements for this assault on the ancient forest, Zhang Xinghan conducted detailed and careful consideration and discussion with Jiang Baili and others during these three days.  After discussion, an offensive route was decided, which was to advance from Tongliao eastward along the Qinghe River, bypassing Shuangliao, and directly attack the important town of Siping.  Siping is located at the junction of the Liao and Ancient provinces, in the hinterland of the Songliao Plain, and the South Manchuria Railway runs through the entire territory. Once Siping is attacked, Japan will definitely mobilize heavy troops from Changchun and Shenyang for reinforcements.  When the goal of mobilizing the Japanese army was achieved, the Northeast New Army's strong maneuverability was used to quickly take a roundabout route through Gongzhuling and penetrate into the ancient forest through Changchun.  At present, in the Northeast region, the total strength of the Japanese army is to have an absolute advantage, but it is distributed in the three northeastern provinces. Although the Japanese will try their best to concentrate the main force along the South Manchuria Railway.  But compared with the 50,000 Northeastern New Army, some are still at a disadvantage.  And in terms of air force, tanks and armored units, artillery fire, and infantry rapid fire firepower, they are even more lagging behind Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army.  The only advantage of the Japanese Army is that their soldiers are more well-trained than the Northeast New Army and take longer to train.  However, this has disappeared invisibly due to the absolute firepower and Zhang Xinghan's superb battle command that is beyond the era.  While Zhang Xinghan led the 1st and 2nd Motorized Infantry Divisions and the Armored Brigade to march eastward from Tonliao, Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng also commanded the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division and directly subordinate cavalry regiments to move south from Qinglong Mountain to threaten Zhangwu, Shenyang and other places.  The new army in Tongliao is divided into two groups and is so powerful that it is naturally impossible to hide it from the Japanese scouts and agents who are interested in reconnaissance.  The news was quickly reported to the Kwantung Army headquarters.  Wu Teng Xinyi was shocked when he heard this. He slapped the table and stood up and said: "Zhang Xinghan has gone too far on Bagaya Road. With his small force, he dares to divide his troops into two groups and want to attack Changchun and Shenyang at the same time?" "Your Excellency, General,  I believe that one of the two Chinese armies must be a feint attack, and Zhang Xinghan will not be stupid enough to disperse his limited forces and attack important cities and towns that are heavily defended by the imperial army," Hashimoto Toranosuke said.  "Oh? Then Hashimoto-kun thinks that the way to China is false, and which way is real?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.  "Reporting to the general, we can't draw a conclusion yet, but we can inform the frontline divisions in advance, especially the troops in Changchun and Shenyang, to take strict precautions. No matter which direction China attacks from, the imperial army should be able to ensure that the situation is  It’s important to have a defensive line that won’t be breached,” Hashimoto Toranosuke said.  "Yes." Muto Nobuyoshi nodded, paused and said: "The telegram orders the 2nd and 6th divisions to strengthen the defense in Shenyang and Zhangwu. If necessary, they can abandon Zhangwu and retreat to the Xinmin front line to rely on favorable terrain for defense.  . The 14th and 10th Divisions strengthened Siping and Changchun's defense forces, and deployed six other Manchurian divisions including Zhishan, Guxing, and Zhang Jinghui to coordinate with them to ensure the safety of the South Manchurian Railway defense line. " "Hai!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and strode away with his saber in hand.  ……………In order to concentrate its forces to shrink and defend the South Manchuria Railway line, the 10th Division decisively abandoned the isolated Shuangliao County after learning that Zhang Xinghan was leading his army from Tongliao.  An infantry brigade stationed in Shuangliao County and a regiment of puppet Han troops were all withdrawn to Siping.  Li Zhenyuan led the armored brigade to occupy Shuangliao, but soon gave up on Zhang Xinghan's order, and the entire brigade's two hundred tanks and armored vehicles rapidly advanced towards Siping.  Zhang Xinghan led 20,000 officers and soldiers of the First and Second Motorized Infantry Divisions to follow suit.  That day, the New Army Flying Group dispatched a large number of bombers to conduct air raids on the South Manchuria Railway, Siping, Gongzhuling and other stations, causing considerable casualties and trouble to the Japanese.  On August 15, the 21st year of the Republic of China, Li Zhenyuan, commander of the New Army Armored Brigade, led his troops to the western suburbs of Siping.  Zhang Xinghan then led two motorized infantry divisions to arrive.  Knowing that the Northeastern New Army was pressing heavily on the border and approaching Siping City, Muto Nobuyoshi quickly ordered Changchun, and Tieling Japanese and puppet troops rushed along the railway line to aid Siping.  At the same time, part of the 2nd Division was also transferred from Shenyang to Siping.  In order to further attract the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan ordered his troops to set up their positions in the western suburbs of Siping and began to launch the first fierce attack on the Japanese army's Siping defense line.  Dozens of No. 4 tanks guided and covered thousands of New Army infantry on a front more than a thousand meters wide. Under the cover of fierce firepower from their own artillery groups, they launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet defense lines.  Throughout the battlefield, there were dense gunshots, rumbling cannons, and clouds of fire and thick smoke rising from the ground  In the forward command post, Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe and others were watching the troops' attack with telescopes in both hands.  "Commander, it seems that Japan has made a lot of preparations in the past few months." Liu Jianguo, deputy commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division, put down his telescope and turned to Zhang Xinghan.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan held up his binoculars and nodded in disbelief as he watched his own offensive troops fighting fiercely with the Japanese army relying on a large number of machine gun bunkers.  On the battlefield, a large number of officers and soldiers of the Motorized Infantry Regiment were charging with their own tanks in the rain of bullets.  The No. 4 tank kept firing, but many shells fell on the Japanese bunker, bursting out with dazzling fire.  But the Japanese bunker was obviously different from ordinary civil bunkers. After the flash of fire, the machine gun fire in the bunker paused for a moment, then roared again.  Many infantrymen of the Motorized Infantry Regiment were unfortunately shot and fell in a pool of blood.  The offensive and defensive hands are locked in a stalemate, and people are getting shot and dying every minute.  After the attack lasted for half an hour, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope decisively and said: "Order the troops to stop the attack and call the air force for bombing." "Yes!" A messenger who had been waiting beside him happily stepped forward and quickly walked out of the command post.  .  After receiving the order, the attacking Motorized Infantry Regiment and dozens of tanks stopped charging one after another and withdrew like water.  Not long after, about a dozen He111 medium bombers, escorted by five Zero fighters, flew over the battlefield.  Toward the Japanese army's defensive position and bunker group, light and dark firepower points began a violent bombardment.  Coincidentally, a group of Japanese fighter planes were also ordered to arrive on the battlefield at this time.  Five Zero fighter jets immediately rushed forward. The Japanese fighter jets, which had been frightened by the Northeast New Army Air Force fighter jets, immediately turned around and fled without hesitation.  However, the Zero, which was much faster than them, quickly caught up and eventually shot down the two unlucky Japanese planes.  In the forward command post, Zhang Xinghan and others looked forward with telescopes. Everything they looked at was shrouded in fire and smoke, making it impossible to see the Japanese positions clearly.  Feeling that the ground beneath his feet was shaking slightly under the violent explosion, Liu Jianguo said excitedly: "This is enough for the bastard little devil to drink a pot of. Commander, in my opinion, let's attack with all our strength quickly and take it down in one fell swoop."  "Forget Siping." "It's not that simple. Siping has now become one of the extremely important strategic hubs for the Japanese and puppet troops in the Northeast. It is related to the smooth flow of the South Manchuria Railway and the Zhongchang Railway. We stormed Siping and the Japanese entered.  We will definitely continue to increase our troops to ensure Siping. If we really capture Siping, the Japanese will never give up and will definitely mobilize heavy troops to counterattack. In this way, we will fall into a repeated tug-of-war of attrition with the Japanese unless we withdraw.  Siping, but then our previous efforts will be in vain. Therefore, what we need to do now is to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy forces in Siping, attract and mobilize more Japanese and puppet troops to reinforce Siping, and then leave a force when the time is right.  To attract the Japanese army with Siping, the main force immediately detoured to Gongzhuling and thrust into Gulin City. After Gulin was captured, we were able to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese puppet army in order to maintain the so-called puppet Manchukuo.  After completing the agreement with Japan, we will definitely counterattack Gulin. At that time, we will attack again depending on the situation, relying on our army's strong maneuverability to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in mobile warfare.  Wait for the counterattack to regain our lost territory in the Northeast." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he put down his telescope and walked to the conference table to sit down, lit a cigarette and started smoking.  "So, now we should patiently wait for the opportunity to appear. Just watch, Japan will not be able to calm down, and the reinforcements will continue to move towards Siping." ………………………Zhang Xinghan  As expected, most of the Japanese troops stationed in the Siping area at this time were the 10th Division. When the Northeast New Army really used aircraft and tanks to launch a fierce attack.  Hirose Hisuke, the commander of the 10th Division, was in desperate need and sent several telegrams asking for help to Muto Nobuyoshi.  Muto Nobuyoshi then transferred more than 60,000 Manchurian troops from Zhishan, Guxing, Zhang Jinghui and other Han troops, which were adapted and expanded. The troops were divided into groups and began to support Siping from Gulin, Liaoyuan, Xifeng and other places.  The 14th Division also mobilized its troops from the Changchun direction as much as possible to prepare for a melee with the Northeastern New Army in Siping.  "Commander, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops are heading towards Siping. The Japanese troops in Gongzhuling and Changchun directions have also been ordered to mobilize a considerable number of troops southward, especially in Gulin and Manchuria* headed by Yu Zhishan.  Most of the people have been ordered to help Siping. The ancient forest is now an empty city, and the time is ripe."That night, Shen Xingye, commander of the reconnaissance battalion, quietly came to the New Army's former enemy headquarters and secretly reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Is the news accurate?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Shen Xingye nodded and said: "Well, I have turned a considerable number of brothers from the reconnaissance battalion into civilians and sneaked into Gulin City. The news is definitely not wrong." "Okay, you go first, I will order the troops right now  Let's go." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  After Shen Xingye saluted, he quietly left.  Zhang Xinghan immediately called Wang Yizhe, Wang Yicai and others. After discussion, Zhang Xinghan decided to use the Second Motorized Infantry Division to stay in Siping and pretend to be the main force to confront the Japanese. The First Motorized Infantry Division and the Armored Brigade immediately evacuated at night and headed north to Li.  Advance in Shuxian, then break through Gongzhuling and march towards Gulin.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 178: Soldiers Encircle Jilin

    Lishu County is less than thirty miles away from Siping. Because all Japanese troops are deployed in towns along the Nanman Railway Line, it is now under the control of the Manchukuo puppet army. There are about three hundred puppet troops stationed here.  The night is as dark as ink, and you can’t see your fingers when you reach out.  Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rumbled forward in the night, and it took less than an hour to reach the southern suburbs of Lishu County from Siping.  In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Zhang Xinghan ordered all tanks and armored vehicles to turn off their lights and move slowly, detouring from the Sikeshu and Baishan areas west of Lishu County.  We arrived at Gongzhuling three hours later.  Gongzhuling, also known as Gongzhuling, is the tomb of the third daughter of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and Princess Jinggulun.  Since it is located between Changchun and Siping, the Japanese army still left a considerable number of troops stationed here.  In addition to a regiment of Japanese troops, there are thousands of puppet troops distributed in large and small bunkers and machine gun fire points near Gongzhuling Station.  The Japanese army of this regiment deployed its main forces on the north and south sides of the Dongliao River Railway Bridge south of Gongzhuling, because this railway bridge is directly related to the smooth flow of the South Manchuria Railway.  It is an extremely important strategic location.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to detour from Lishu County. If he wanted to break through Gongzhuling, the railway bridge between Caijia Town and Nanweizi Town became the only way to pass.  In order not to damage the railway bridge, ensure that your armored troops can pass smoothly.  After discussion, Zhang Xinghan and Li Zhenyuan decided to use the anti-aircraft machine guns and 88mm anti-aircraft guns carried by the armored vehicles of the anti-aircraft regiment as fire cover to use infantry to seize the Dongliao River Railway Bridge.  To this end, the air defense regiment dispatched more than 20 armored vehicles, ten 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 20 anti-aircraft machine guns to launch a sudden fire attack on the Japanese bunker group guarding the south bank.  The rapid and fierce firepower of the 88mmg anti-aircraft gun suddenly hit the Japanese bunker, with fire igniting and causing earth and rocks to fly.  Although the high-explosive shells of the 88 anti-aircraft gun could not directly destroy the Japanese bunkers, the continuous bombardment and explosions killed most of the Japanese inside.  Some of the flying shrapnel penetrated through the firing holes, causing serious damage to the Japanese.  Niu Erzhu, who had been promoted to the commander of the First Motorized Infantry Regiment, personally led two companies of infantry to take advantage of the situation and launch a charge against the Japanese bunker firepower group.  The armored vehicles of the New Army continued to suppress the Japanese bunker group with intensive firepower. Some armored soldiers even drove their armored vehicles directly in front of the Japanese tanks, blocking the desperate Japanese machine gun bullets with heavy armor.  The infantrymen of the Motorized Infantry Regiment took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, firing grenades and throwing them in through the firing holes on both sides.  There was an explosion and a flash of fire. All the Japanese in the bunker were killed.  Using this method of fighting, the Mobu group quickly eliminated the Japanese on the south bank.  Immediately, five armored vehicles were used as the front to attack the north bank.  The Japanese troops on the north bank had already been alarmed by the fighting on the south bank. The firepower points of large and small machine gun bunkers on both sides of the railway opened fire one after another, and dazzling tongues of flames shot out, which looked particularly dazzling in the dark night.  The defensive armor of the two armored vehicles at the front was continuously hit by dense bullets, making a series of clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere.  "Come on!" A New Army second lieutenant yelled angrily while holding a machine gun, and the machine gun in his hand kept firing with rapid fire.  Hundreds of New Army infantrymen continued to advance behind the armored vehicles.  In order to stop the approaching New Army armored vehicles, the Japs on the north bank began to send out death squads holding gun bags and rushing out of the fortifications, rushing towards the New Army armored vehicles along the railroad tracks.  The machine gunners on the two armored vehicles soon discovered it and immediately turned their guns and started shooting at the Japanese soldiers who were running quickly.  The Japanese soldiers were dodging left and right. Although they were experienced and obviously well-trained veterans, the dense rain of bullets caused by the terrifying speed of the four high-speed machine guns still knocked them to the ground one by one.  Some bullets even hit the gun bag in the Japs' arms, causing a violent explosion. After a flash of fire, several Japs soldiers were instantly blown to pieces.  "Come on!" the new officers and soldiers roared and took advantage of the situation to attack. The five armored vehicles also accelerated in vain, and soon rushed to several Japanese fire bunkers.  Those who followed rushed up from both sides of the armored vehicle and used grenades to clear out the Japanese trapped inside.  The whole battle took less than half an hour. Under the cover of the air defense regiment, the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment captured the Dongliao River Railway Bridge. The Armored Brigade immediately took the lead in crossing the river and advanced along the railway towards Gongzhuling.  The main force of the First Motorized Division followed and crossed the river.  News that the railway bridge in Princess Lingnan was suddenly attacked was quickly reported to Nobuyoshi Muto.  &nbsp; Muto Nobuyoshi was shocked and quickly ordered the main force of the 14th Division that had just gone to Siping to return to Gongzhuling.  But it was too late. By the time Muto Nobuyoshi's order was issued, Zhang Xinghan had already commanded the troops to cross the South Manchuria Railway eastward via Gongzhuling and advance towards the ancient forest.  Therefore, when the main force of the 14th Division hurriedly returned from Siping to Gongzhuling, Zhang Xinghan's assault force had disappeared.  The news was sent back to the Kwantung Army headquarters.  Muto Nobuyoshi frowned and said to Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke: "Hashimoto-kun, Shinaru did not attack Gongzhuling. It seems that their target is Changchun. What do they want?" Hashimoto Toranosuke looked at the map and then  He shook his head and said: "Zhang Xinghan is a guy who doesn't play by common sense, and he can't predict even in his humble position." At this moment, a communications staff officer walked in with a message in his hand, suddenly stopped his feet and saluted: "General, 2nd Division  A call came in saying that the South China Tongliao Army had occupied Zhangwu County. Its cavalry troops had bypassed the Imperial Army's New Civilian Defense Line and were attacking the Shenyang-Tieling section of the South-Manchuria Railway. The 2nd Division and the 6th Division were trying their best to expel them. " Muto Xinyi suddenly had a panic attack.  Such a sense of helplessness due to physical and mental exhaustion, what kind of person is this guy Zhang Xinghan? Since Shenyang Hengkong was born, he has caused heavy losses to the imperial army one after another. This person has almost become the nemesis of the imperial army of the Japanese Empire.  Counting Muto Nobuyoshi, the Kwantung Army has changed its commander three times.  After taking a few deep breaths, Muto Nobuyoshi said: "Order the 6th and 2nd divisions to hold on to the new civil defense line and ensure the smooth flow of the Shenyang section of the South Manchuria Railway!" "Hai!" the communications staff member suddenly lowered his head and responded,  He immediately turned around and strode away.  "General, what about the Changchun direction?" Hashimoto Toranosuke asked.  "Command Chang Chun and all ministries in Siping to immediately dispatch cavalry reconnaissance troops to make sure to detect traces of the China Army that attacked the Dongliao River Railway Bridge." Muto Nobuyoshi said.  "Hai." Zhang Xinghan led his troops through Gongzhuling, passed Shuangyang, and Yonggu marched urgently to the south of the ancient forest.  Gulin is located in the middle of Gulin Province. The Songhua River flows through the entire Gulin City. Gulin City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has bad water on three sides. It is a dangerous place. If there are sufficient troops stationed, no enemy can capture it.  so easy.  However, due to the emergency in Siping, Muto Nobuyoshi transferred all the tens of thousands of puppet Manchurian troops originally deployed near Gulin to Siping.  The main force of the Japanese army was also based on the South Manchuria Railway. At this time, there were less than 10,000 puppet troops stationed in Gulin, and the force was extremely weak.  Zhang Xinghan used powerful assault firepower to capture Yonggu County, known as the southern gate of Gulin.  The gates of Gulin have been opened, and the news reached Gulin. Puyi, who had just become the head of state and was still dreaming of ascending to the throne again, and other Manchu remnants of the Qing Dynasty, were shocked and confused.  Puyi packed his bags and fled the ancient forest overnight. Kenji Doihara, the head of the Japanese Kwantung Army secret service who was ordered to monitor Puyi, stopped him on the spot.  "As the ruler of the puppet Manchukuo country, how can you easily abandon the capital of your country and run away in haste? If so, how can you convince the public in the future?" "However, Mr. Doihara's rebels are coming fiercely, and the ancient forest city is empty of troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on.  Oh!" Pu Yi said with a troubled face.  "Your Excellency, there is no need to panic. I will send a message to the Kwantung Army headquarters to request reinforcements. The imperial army will not sit back and watch the rebels capture the capital of your country." Doihara Kenji said.  "That's very good, that's very good." Pu Yi nodded repeatedly in shock.  ??????…………… It was just dawn, and Muto Nobuyoshi had just fallen asleep and had no time to fart, when he was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.  “Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General, it’s not good!” Hashimoto Toranosuke’s anxious voice came from outside the door.  Muto Nobuyoshi dragged his exhausted body up from the bed, opened the door and asked hurriedly: "Hashimoto-kun, what are you so anxious about?" "General, Doihara Kenji just sent an urgent telegram from the ancient forest, and there was a surge of China troops and  In the early morning, Yonggu County was captured by surprise, and now the troops are at the foot of Furin City. Now the strength of Furin City is empty. In order to protect the ancient forest, Doi-kun requested that reinforcements be sent quickly. "Hashimoto Toranosuke hurriedly handed over the message in his hand.  Nobuyoshi Muto.  "Nani?" Wu Teng Xinyi was shocked when he heard this. After quickly taking the message and reading it, he suddenly roared angrily: "Bagaya Road, Zhang Xinghan is so cunning, he wants to capture the ancient forest?!" "General, we are  What should we do? Gulin City is now the capital of the Manchu Empire and cannot be lost easily, otherwise it will cause an immeasurable blow to the existence of the Manchu Empire." Hashimoto Toranosuke said with a worried look.  "Order the 14th Division, Manchuria to attack Zhishan, Guxing and other units to immediately relax?Gulin City, hurry up!  "Muto Xinyi ordered in a cold voice. "General, what should we do about Siping?  "Hashimoto Toranosuke said. "The real target of Shinaru is the ancient forest, not Siping. The defense of the 10th Division is enough. Let's execute the order quickly.  "Muto Nobuyoshi urged. "Hai.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke lowered his head, turned around with his saber and strode away. ……………………………… Yongu County, Zhang Xinghan has set up his headquarters here. In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan is heading towards  Wang Yizhe, Liu Jianguo, Li Zhenyuan and others entered the deployment of combat tasks. "The First Motorized Infantry Regiment launched an attack from Erdao Mountain in the south of the city. The Armored Brigade sent a tank battalion to assist in the attack. The Third Motorized Infantry Regiment circled to the west of the city and first captured Dasuihe Station.  Ancient Forest City attack.  The Second Motorized Infantry Regiment serves as the reserve force, and the main force of the Armored Brigade is responsible for the assault from the north of the city. All units should fight with all their strength to capture the ancient forest as soon as possible. One thing to note is to capture Puyi alive as much as possible.  "Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and distributed the orders to everyone. "Liu Jianguo, Li Zhenyuan and others stepped forward to accept the promise at the same time, and immediately took their orders and left.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 179: Capture of Jilin

    While Zhang Xing and the Han soldiers besieged the ancient forest, Jiang Baili lived up to his trust and not only led his troops to capture Zhangwu County, but also sent Sabuli to lead a cavalry regiment to bypass the Xinmin and harass the rear of the Japanese army as a response.  After the dawn of the war, he personally commanded the Third Motorized Infantry Division to set out from Zhangwu and attack Xinmin City under the cover of the air force.  Forced the Japanese troops in Shenyang and Xinmin areas to be unable to move north to reinforce Siping.  ……………In Gulin City, the 1st and 3rd regiments of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division of the Northeastern New Army have entered the attack position.  Dozens of aircraft from the flying group came for reinforcements on Zhang Xinghan's order. At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan gave an order, and the two main groups immediately launched an attack to the south and west of Gulin City.  Li Zhenyuan’s armored brigade also assaulted the main city of Gulin from the north of the city. 88 anti-aircraft shells and 75 tank gun shells fell like rain on the puppet army’s position.  These puppet troops were composed of Zhang Jinghui, Yu Zhishan and other members of the 1st Northeast Army from various parts of the three eastern provinces, combined with local ruffians.  It’s okay to bully and bully the common people on weekdays and maintain law and order.  "But when fighting against the Northeastern New Army, which couldn't even defeat the Japanese, they were simply vulnerable.  Especially the puppet troops in the north of the city. Although Japanese advisers personally commanded and supervised the battle, they had never seen such huge tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the puppet troops that attacked with firepower almost like a torrential rain, and collapsed instantly.  Li Zhenyuan personally led the tanks and armored vehicles to pursue them relentlessly.  The Japanese advisers and puppet soldiers who could not escape were shot and fell to the ground.  The shells fired by the 88mm anti-aircraft gun and the 75mm tank gun killed and injured countless puppet troops who left their bunkers and tried to escape back into the city.  On the battlefield in the south of the city, Niu Erzhu commanded the officers and soldiers of the Motorized Infantry Regiment, shouting slogans of capturing the ancient forest and capturing Puyi alive. With the cover and support of a tank battalion, they also launched a charge towards the puppet army positions.  It was similar to the North Gate. It was already frightened. The two groups of weak puppet soldiers turned around and ran away after just a few shots.  The puppet army collapsed at the first touch, and the attack went smoothly beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectations.  Wang Yizhe was also quite surprised and said: "Xinghan, these puppet troops are too vulnerable." "Yes, they are completely vulnerable. With these troops, Puyi still wants to restore his Qing Dynasty.  ? Let's have his spring and autumn dreams." Zhang Xinghan smoked a pipe in a good mood.  "Reporting to the commander, Air Force reconnaissance aircraft have learned that a Japanese division with tens of thousands of puppet troops has left Changchun and Siping and is marching towards Gulin." At this time, a communications soldier came over to Zhang Xinghan  Salute reported.  "I know." Zhang Xinghan didn't have any worries at all. The distance from Siping to Gulin was more than 150 kilometers, and even from Changchun it was more than 200 miles.  With the speed of the Japanese and puppet troops marching on foot, they would not be able to catch up in a single day or night. Judging from the performance of the Gulin puppet army, our troops should be able to capture Gulin very quickly.  There is absolutely enough time.  The Third Motorized Rifle Regiment in the west of the city is not equipped with tanks or armored vehicles, but under Zhang Xinghan's instructions, they received special care from the Air Force Flying Group fighters.  A large number of aerial bombs were thrown at the puppet army's positions in the west of the city, causing extremely heavy casualties to the puppet troops. What was even more serious was the psychological deterrence caused to the puppet troops.  Under such a powerful air attack and bombardment, the morale of the puppet army, which was not very high, dropped to freezing point for a while.  The artillery of the Third Motorized Infantry Regiment bombarded them, and the infantry attacked with super firepower. The frightened puppet troops turned around and ran away, and some even threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees with their hands raised.  At ten o'clock in the morning, two regiments of the 1st Motorized Infantry Division invaded Gulin City from the south and west of the city respectively.  The armored brigade also entered from the north of the city, and the puppet troops in the city retreated in panic.  The ancient forest is already within Zhang Xinghan’s pocket.  The mob in the city is not the Soviet Red Army in Stalingrad. It is impossible for them to withstand the attack of the new army and defend the ancient forest.  At 12 o'clock at noon, the Motorized Infantry Regiment took the lead in attacking Puyi's presidential palace and successfully captured Puyi and his accompanying ministers alive.  However, Puyi’s senior adviser Doihara Kenji had a lucky escape.  At one o'clock in the afternoon, the puppet troops in the city were basically eliminated. Some of the puppet troops who resisted were shot dead, and most of the puppet troops surrendered.  Outside the Heads of State, an armored vehicle roared over, the door opened, and Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yizhe stepped down from it.  By this time, Puyi and his ministers had been guarded by heavily armed New Army soldiers and were kneeling at the gate of the Heads of State.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan and others walking towards him, Pu Yi turned pale with fright and quickly lowered his head. ????????????????Changniu Erzhu came up to him and saluted: "Commander, Master, Puyi and his ministers have all been captured by us. What should we do with them?" "Those who betray the country should be killed!" Wang Yizhe hated these traitors the most and always dreamed of restoration.  Their feudal dynasty ruled, so they immediately said harshly.  Niu Erzhu looked at Zhang Xinghan, waiting for his final decision.  Zhang Xinghan walked up to Pu Yi and the others, looked at him, and said indifferently: "What the hell is it this year? Are you still dreaming of your dream of being an emperor? You are still hell-bent on continuing your feudal and backward ways.  Rule?" Pu Yi looked up at Zhang Xinghan in fear, speechless.  Zhang Xinghan continued: "For your dream of being emperor, you are willing to bend your knees and become a lackey for the Japanese. I really don't know if your ancestors will be ashamed of their descendants if they know this." "Don't insult me.  Our ancestors were so brave" Pu Yi protested.  "Stop your mother, if it weren't for that big man Wu Sangui, would you Tatars also want to take over the Central Plains? Just have your mother's spring and autumn dream." Zhang Xinghan interrupted him before he could finish his words.  "You" Pu Yi was angry and annoyed.  "What? You don't accept it? Today, on behalf of the 40 million Chinese people, I declare the death penalty for traitors like you, and they will be executed immediately." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan whispered in his ear: "Goodbye, you Tunguska bastard  "Pig." "I'll fight with you" Pu Yi was so angry that when he was about to get up, he was hit hard by a New Army soldier behind him with the butt of his rifle, causing his head to bleed immediately.  The recruit yelled angrily: "Fuck you, be honest." "Execute it." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "Commander, I will execute it personally." Wang Yizhe took a general-purpose machine gun from a soldier, took two steps forward, held the machine gun and fired fiercely at Pu Yi and his lackey ministers.  "Click, click, click" After a burst of gunfire, this wishful thinking traitor and their subordinates ended their criminal life.  After executing Puyi, Zhang Xinghan ordered his troops to rest in Gulin until that night, and then looted all the banks and treasury in Gulin City where the Puppet Manchukuo had just been established.  Gulin was evacuated at twelve o'clock in the evening. This time, Zhang Xinghan did not lead his troops to follow the way they came. Instead, he marched directly west from Gulin to Changchun. He wanted to attack the Japanese 14th Division from Changchun to Gulin for reinforcements at night.  The group goes.  As for the Japanese and puppet troops, Zhang Xinghan still focused on eliminating the effective forces of the Japanese in the Northeast. As for the puppet troops, most of them can be transformed and incorporated into his own forces.  As long as Japan loses power in the Northeast and executes hardcore Han leaders like Zhang Jinghui, Yu Zhishan and Gu Xing, it will be possible to organize a large number of puppet troops into an organized system.  "Commander, Gu Lin has been captured by us. Will the Japanese army return to Changchun?" Wang Yizhe asked in an armored vehicle.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Probably not. I don't know whether Puyi is alive or dead now. They will definitely take back the ancient forest at any cost and rescue Puyi, because they need a puppet like Puyi so much."  Zhang Xinghan's guess was similar. Although the 14th Division received news when Gulin had just been lost, Muto Nobuyoshi did not let them stop advancing.  Instead, they were ordered to continue marching to Gulin, recapture Gulin at all costs, and try their best to snatch Puyi back from Zhang Xinghan.  Therefore, the commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hata, had no choice but to order the troops to continue advancing and march overnight.  At about three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan led his troops and encountered the 14th Division of the Japanese Army in the Bonihe Town area.  Without the slightest hesitation, such a field battle was exactly what Zhang Xinghan dreamed of. He immediately ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the armored brigade tank regiment in a frontal assault, and Liu Jianguo led the first and second motorized infantry regiments to charge in coordination.  He led the armored anti-aircraft regiment and the third motorized infantry regiment in two roundabout ways to intercept the rear of the 14th Division.  In such a field battle, the 14th Division was unable to withstand the group assault charge of hundreds of Panzer IV tanks from the tank regiment, and the forward troops were soon defeated.  The infantry of the two main regiments commanded by Wang Yizhe and Liu Jianguo then followed up and launched a general attack on the 14th Division.  Zhang Xinghan led the air defense regiment and an infantry regiment and successfully detoured back to the rear of the 14th Division. The superior firepower of the air defense regiment launched an attack on the rearguard of the 14th Division.  Being attacked from both sides, the defeat of the 14th Division is certain.  The fighting lasted from three o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning.  Under the attack of New Army tanks and armored vehicles, the 14th Division was defeated. Except for a few soldiers who managed to escape through the night, most of the Japanese troops were surrounded and annihilated in the Shitou River area."Commander, we have wiped out 10,000 Japanese troops in this battle, and our casualties are less than 200!" After the battle, Liu Jianguo reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  "I understand. I ordered the troops to take away what they can and destroy what they can't take away. The whole army will march to Changchun immediately." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "We can't take away the weapons. Our cars are all filled with valuables such as oceans and gold brought from Gulin City. Now we can't even take away a hundred rifles!" Liu Jianguo said.  "Then destroy it on the spot." Zhang Xinghan said nonchalantly.  "Yes! I'll go organize it right away and take care of it." After Liu Jianguo saluted, he turned and left.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 180: Recapture of Changchun

    The news that the main force of the 14th Division encountered the Chinese ** troops in Bonihe Town had been reported to the division headquarters in Changchun via radio just before the battle began.  The commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hata, was shocked when he learned the news. He quickly ordered the 14th Division to retreat while fighting. At the same time, he also sent electricity to Yu Zhishan and other puppet troops in the south, asking them to go north immediately for support.  However, Yu Zhishan and other puppet troops were hundreds of miles away from the 14th Division at that time, and they had already learned that Gulin had been captured by Zhang Xinghan, so they chose to treat the rescue of the 14th Division negatively.  Within just a few hours, more than 10,000 main troops of the 14th Division were wiped out. Several regiment captains and a major general brigade commander were all killed in the battle.  After hearing the news, Shunroku Hata almost went crazy. He pulled out his command knife and started slashing in the conference room like crazy.  "Your Excellency, General, the scouts reported that the Chinese Army in Bonihe Town is currently moving towards Changchun at full speed and seems to be planning to attack Changchun!" While Hata Shunroku was venting, Chief of Staff Noda Cugu walked in with a solemn expression.  Shunroku Hata's raised command sword stopped in the air, turned around and said: "Shinaru wants to attack Changchun?" Noda Cuckoo nodded and said: "Zhang Xinghan, you are very cunning. Now that the main force of our division has been wiped out, what is his purpose?"  It’s very clear that I want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Changchuno!” “Baga Yalu, I want to fight him to the death!” Hata Shunroku suddenly became furious when he thought of Zhang Xinghan’s heavy losses in Shenyang.  "General, don't be impulsive. Now that our main force has been wiped out, we are unable to resist the attack of Zhang Xinghan's troops. We should ask Commander Muto Nobuyoshi for help as soon as possible." Noda Cugu hurriedly advised.  ??Hata Shunroku was silent for a while, and finally put away his general sword and said: "Send power to the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately and request emergency support!" ??…………………… Dalian Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Hashimoto Torano's assistant hurriedly walked into the headquarters with a telegram, and said to the anxious Muto Nobuyoshi who was already waiting: "Your Excellency, General, Gu Lin has been lost, the main reinforcements of the 14th Division have been wiped out, and Zhang Xinghan's troops are currently marching towards Changchun.  , the situation is extremely critical, and the commander of the 14th Division, General Shunroku Hata, requested emergency reinforcements. " Muto Nobuyoshi's face suddenly turned gloomy. The main force of the 14th Division was wiped out, and the 10th Division had to fight another northeastern force in Siping.  The new army is facing a confrontation. Where can we mobilize reinforcements now?  As for the tens of thousands of puppet troops, fighting a smooth battle may be able to help, or they may be able to hold on to strong fortifications for some time, but they have to go to Changchun to support the heavily armed Zhang Xinghan troops.  Muto Nobuyoshi didn’t even dare to think about it, especially when Gulin had been captured and Puyi might become Zhang Xinghan’s prisoner.  "Hashimoto-kun, how do you think we should respond next?" Muto Nobuyoshi couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he asked.  Hashimoto Toranosuke frowned and pondered for a while, and said with a solemn face: "General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but now our Kwantung Army no longer has an advantage over Zhang Xinghan's new army in the three northeastern provinces because of our military strength.  It was too spread out, and its firepower, armored forces and air force were all at a disadvantage. Under such circumstances, Zhang Xinghan's troops could concentrate their forces and form an absolute advantage over the imperial army on a certain local battlefield.  If this continues, our Kwantung Army will be in dire straits, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Muto Nobuyoshi fell into a deep silence after hearing this, and then said after a long time: "Then what do you think we should do?" "Give up immediately?  Gulin, Changchun, and Siping should concentrate their forces mainly in Shenyang and Xinmin areas. Only in this way can we ensure the entire southern Manchuria area!" Hashimoto Toranosuke boldly suggested.  "Abandon the North Manchuria area? The base camp will not agree." Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head and said.  "General, the situation has taken a turn for the worse now. Military orders abroad will be violated. We must make a decision as soon as possible. We must not delay it any longer. We will reserve our troops and concentrate them in Shenyang and wait for reinforcements from the base camp. I think that as long as we explain to Tokyo the situation in the Northeast.  , they will definitely not blame us," Hashimoto Toranosuke anxiously advised.  Weighing the pros and cons, Muto Nobuyoshi finally nodded with difficulty.  Changchun, the 14th Division Headquarters, the entire headquarters was extremely busy, with officers and staff at all levels constantly going back and forth from the communications room to the combat conference room.  Report the latest information to the division commander Shunroku Hata one by one.  When Shunroku Hata was discussing possible response plans with Chief of Staff Noda Cugu, a communications soldier walked in, stood up and saluted Erru and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, General, there is a call from the Kwantung Army Headquarters." "Read it!" Shunroku Hata immediately said  Waved. ?"Commander Muto ordered that in view of the rapid deterioration of the situation in Northern Manchuria, in order to preserve the strength of the Imperial Army, you are specifically ordered to abandon Changchun immediately, and the 10th Division will support your troops to evacuate to Shenyang. Temporarily abandon Northern Manchuria and concentrate your forces to ensure that Southern Manchuria is  ! Muto Nobuyoshi," the communication soldier quickly opened the message and read.  After hearing this, Shunroku Hata and Cugu Noda looked at each other and asked, "Is this true?" "Reporting to Your Majesty the General, it is absolutely true. This message was signed by Commander Muto himself." The Japanese communications soldier lowered his head and confirmed.  "Bagaya Road" Shunroku Hata kicked over a chair next to him with some reluctance.  Noda Cugu quickly advised: "Your Excellency General, Commander Muto issued this order out of necessity. Now the imperial army is unable to hold on to Changchun in the northern Manchuria area." "Order the troops and prepare to retreat immediately!" Shunroku Hata!  Finally, he gave an order in a helpless voice.  ……………Bonihe Town is less than a hundred miles away from Changchun. Zhang Xinghan’s armored brigade took less than three hours to cross-country and reach the eastern suburbs of Changchun.  However, at this time, the remnants of the Japanese 14th Division in Changchun City had given up on Changchun and retreated along the railway towards Gongzhuling and the Siping defense line.  After figuring out the situation, Zhang Xinghan stationed a regiment to take over Changchun, and led the armored brigade and two main regiments to quickly go south along the railway to pursue.  At the same time, Wang Yicai was telegraphed to lead the Third Motorized Infantry Division to immediately attack Siping to prevent the Japanese from escaping to the south. He also telegraphed Jiang Baili and ordered him to lead his troops to continue attacking Xinmin to contain the Japanese troops in the Shenyang area and prevent them from having the opportunity to go north to meet the northern Manchuria area.  Japanese troops fleeing south.  "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese Army has captured Changchun and is pursuing us southward." On the road south of Gongzhuling, Shunroku Hata and Cuckoo Noda were evacuating hurriedly to Siping on a train. A communications soldier walked into the second  Reported after entering the car.  "At Bagaya Road, order the rearguard troops to blow up the Dongliao River Railway Bridge to prevent the China Army from pursuing it!" Shunroku Hata made a quick decision.  "General" Noda Cuckoo wanted to dissuade him, but after a second thought, he gave up the idea. If the Dongliao River Railway Bridge was not blown up, the armored troops of the Chinese ** Corps might pursue him at any time, but once the railway was blown up,  bridge, the South Manchuria Railway will be paralyzed.  Soon, Hata Shunroku's order was conveyed.  The rear guard of the Japanese army immediately blew up the Dongliao River Railway Bridge. When the bridge was blown up in the north, Zhang Xinghan led the armored brigade to arrive.  "Commander, what should we do?" Looking at the broken Dongliao River Bridge, Armored Brigade Commander Li Zhenyuan jumped off a No. 4 tank and came to Zhang Xinghan's side.  "There is no other way. If we want to go around, we need to drive from Shuangliao County along the Dongliao River to Shuangliao County, and then drive from Shuangliao County to Siping. The distance is more than four to five hundred miles. No matter how fast we go,  It will take more than ten hours. In such a long time, the Japanese will have already retreated to Shenyang along the railway line," Zhang Xinghan said with some frustration.  "Then let's let the kid go like this?" Li Zhenyuan said unwillingly.  "Let the little devils go for now, but there is an enemy force that we need to deal with right now." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully: "Give Wang Yicai some electricity to stop his attack." Li Zhenyuan nodded and thought for a while.  Suddenly said: "Commander, are you referring to the puppet troops who originally planned to support Gu Lin?" "Yes, it is them. With the help of the Japanese, these puppet troops have expanded to tens of thousands. Let's get rid of the dregs and get the essence."  , we can get at least 20,000 to 30,000 suitable soldiers, or even more." Zhang Xinghan said.  "In addition to this, if we recruit a group of new soldiers in Changchun and other places, our army will be able to expand to 100,000." Li Zhenyuan said with some excitement.  "Yes, the most important thing is that these puppet troops are slightly stronger than the recruits who have just joined the army. With a little integrated training, they will be able to fight on the battlefield. We will rest for a whole month and wait until the Dongliao River Railway Bridge is repaired.  We can attack the Nanman area and recapture Shenyang. ""Inform the Mobu Division to immediately turn east and advance toward Yitong and Shuangyang!" Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered.  ………………… Shuangyang County, Puppet Manchuria Allied Forces Joint Headquarters.  Guxing, Yu Zhishan, Zhang Jinghui and others gathered together to discuss a way out "Everyone, Gulin has been lost, Puyi is missing, Changchun has also been captured by Zhang Xinghan's Tongliao army, and the Japanese have fled south. We  Let’s talk about what we should do next.” Yu Zhishan looked at the crowd.  "Now that the ancient forest is empty, I suggest that we go back to the ancient forest. The ancient forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has bad water on three sides. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have nearly 60,000 people. As long as we work together, we will be able to defend the ancient forest." Gu Xing?.  Yu Zhishan certainly doesn’t want to go back to the ancient forest, because the ancient forest is too close to Changchun and may be attacked by Zhang Xinghan at any time. In contrast, he would rather go back to the Daoshan City area to the east of his hometown.  But he didn’t want to go back alone. He wanted to bring all the 60,000 puppet troops there, so that he could establish a duli force based on his base.  But this must be agreed by both Gu Xing and Zhang Jinghui, so he asked Zhang Jinghui, the brother-in-command of Zhang Zuolin, the former veteran of the Northeast Army: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 181: The Liberation of Northern Manchuria

    Zhang Jinghui rolled his eyes and asked, "What are Brother Lanbo's plans?" (Yu Zhishan's cousin) Yu Zhishan looked at Ji Xing and Zhang Jinghui and said, "What Brother Pei just said is right, Jilin  It is indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, but I think Jilin cannot be defended. <->" As soon as Yu Zhishan spoke, Ji Xing was still satisfied, but when he finished speaking, Ji Xing immediately changed his expression and said: "Lan Bo.  Brother, what do you mean? Why can't Jilin be defended? Where can we go if we don't go to Jilin? " Yu Zhishan said unhurriedly: "First of all, Jilin is too close to Changchun. If Zhang Xinghan sends troops from Changchun,  With the speed of his mechanized troops, they can reach Jilin City in less than five hours. "So what? We have nearly 60,000 people. How can we not stand up to Jilin City?" Ji Xing said unconvinced.  "Brother Pei, now the Japanese have been defeated by Zhang Xinghan and have been forced to abandon Northern Manchuria. Without the main restraint of the Japanese, do you think we can withstand Zhang Xinghan's joint land and air attack? His armored troops  The Japanese are helpless, let alone us?" Yu Zhishan analyzed.  "Brother Lanbo, where do you plan to evacuate?" Jixing asked, suppressing his anger.  Yu Zhishan paused and said: "I suggest that we retreat to the northeast." "Northeast? Could it be that Brother Lanbo is planning to retreat to your east side?" Jixing couldn't help snorting coldly: "Brother Lanbo is really  It's a good idea. Pull the troops back to reorganize your Dongbian Road garrison." "Brother Pei, you are right. That's where Yu's base is. As long as we withdraw to Dongbian Road, we can do it ourselves.  Integrate into one body. With the Japanese, Zhang Xinghan stands on the same footing. As for reorganizing my Dongbian Road garrison, I have no intention of doing so," Yu Zhishan said with a serious face.  "Hmph, that's nice to say. Commander Dao Yu, will you change your mind when we get to the east? Anyway, I don't plan to retreat to the east. At worst, I will go to the Songhua River to become a water bandit!" Ji Xing snorted coldly.  "You" Yu Zhishan's face turned red due to anger.  Then he turned to Zhang Jinghui and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are highly respected, please tell me where we should retreat." Zhang Jinghui pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Lanbo's proposal of retreating to the northeast is feasible. After all, once we  Withdrawing to the east road, the Japanese are watching, and Zhang Xinghan will not attack us easily. The Japanese also need our cooperation, so that we can be invincible. " Zhang Jinghui just finished speaking.  Xing retorted, and there was a sudden earth-shaking explosion outside.  The three of them were shocked, and they all stood up and walked out of the joint headquarters. They saw a bright red fire rising in the northwest of Shuangyang County.  That's where the huge explosion came from.  Not long after, a puppet army commander staggered over and looked panicked. He said before saluting: "Commander Yu, Commander Zhang, Commander Ji is not good. The Northeast New Army, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army is coming."  "What? How are you sure it's Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army? Jixing asked in shock. "Tank.  There are a lot of tanks. What just attacked us was a large number of tanks. In addition to Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army in the Northeast, there is also that army with such a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.  "The leader of the puppet army said with a sad face. Jixing, Yu Zhishan, and Zhang Jinghui all took a breath of air-conditioning. Jixing said: "You two, what do you think we should do next?  " "How about we order the troops to surrender to Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army? In this way, maybe he can let us go, and maybe you can find an official position.  Zhang Jinghui, who was as timid as a mouse, suggested. He knew that Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng, the former generals of the Northeast Army, are now under Zhang Xinghan. He took the initiative to surrender and relied on his past friendship with these people. Zhang Xinghan should be able to bypass him this time. Zhang Jinghui  Thinking like this, Yu Zhishan and Jixing are different. They know that they have fought against Zhang Xinghan and even had the blood of Zhang Xinghan's subordinates on their hands. So Zhang Xinghan will not let him go no matter what.  As soon as these words came out, the two people immediately objected. Yu Zhishan was the first to shake his head and said: "No, we must not surrender to this bastard Zhang Xinghan, he will kill us.  " "Yes, he will definitely not let us go. Let's fight him.  "Jixing also rarely vented his anger with Yu Zhishan, and nodded in agreement. "I'm afraid it will be unlucky to fight head-on.Less.  Zhang Jinghui frowned and suggested: "How about we lead our troops to break out before they besiege the city?"  " Zhang Jinghui said something in their hearts. No one wants to wait for death here. They also know that these rabble under them are no match for Zhang Xinghan's elite division. After pondering for a moment, the two of them said goodbye and left with the guards.  Zhang Jinghui also took his guards to gather his troops, but unlike Jixing and Yu Zhishan who led their troops to escape, he went to order the troops to surrender.  As time went by, the two main regiments of the Motorized Infantry Division also arrived one after another and joined the battlefield. Zhang Xinghan personally led the armored brigade to launch a fierce attack from the west and north of the city. Soon, the attacking armored troops discovered the puppet troops on the top of the city.  Zhang Xinghan, who tremblingly raised a few white flags with the purpose of recruiting the puppet army and expanding his troops, quickly ordered the troops to stop the bombardment. After a while, a voice came from the top of the city: "Brothers from the Northeastern New Army outside the city.  Guys, stop fighting. Our Commander Zhang Jinghui has decided to surrender to your army. Please don’t fight anymore" After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Li Zhenyuan: "Tell them that I accept their surrender and let them raise their hands.  The weapons left the city one by one and were accepted for collection.  " "Yes" Li Zhenyuan was immediately ordered to move forward. Soon, the city gate, which had been riddled with fierce firepower from the armored brigade, opened. Groups of puppet soldiers in khaki military uniforms lined up with weapons raised.  "Commander, there are two groups of puppet troops fleeing from the east and south of the city.  A group of motorized infantrymen were volleying.  "A communications soldier rode a three-wheeled motorcycle and came to report. "Zhenyuan, I leave this to you. I will lead the troops to pursue it.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered Li Zhenyuan. "Commander, don't worry.  "Li Zhenyuan nodded and assured. Zhang Xinghan turned to the communications soldier and said: "Order the patrolThe First Regiment and Second Regiment immediately pursued them with all their strength. The attacking troops shouted to surrender their guns but not to kill, trying to induce the puppet troops to surrender as much as possible. Those who resisted would be killed without mercy.  "    "yes!  "The communications soldier immediately kicked up his motorcycle, turned on the accelerator, turned around and galloped towards the east of the city. Liu Zhenyu was left with a tank battalion, and Zhang Xinghan led two tank battalions and an air defense regiment to pursue towards the south of the city.  Ji Xing was the most unlucky. He led his troops out of the city and happened to encounter the Motor Bu Regiment that had just arrived in Shuangyang. The two sides immediately started a firefight. How could the firepower of the Mo Bu Regiment be comparable to that of his ragtag group?  Under the cross fire, the thousands of people brought out by Jixing suffered heavy casualties. Jixing led the remaining troops to flee eastward around the city. At this time, the Motorized Infantry Regiment had received orders from Zhang Xinghan. Niu Erzhu led his troops to pursue them immediately and ordered the officers and soldiers to pursue them during the pursuit.  From time to time, they shouted that they should surrender their guns and avoid death. The puppet soldiers who were running slowly dropped their guns and knelt on the ground with their hands raised in surrender. Before Jixing and his troops had run far, they were met by two motorbike soldiers as soon as they reached the east of the city.  In the interception of the regiment, not only the troops were completely lost, but he himself became a prisoner of the Second Motorized Infantry Regiment. Yu Zhishan's luck was better than that of Ji Xing. He led his troops to retreat all the way from the east gate, because there was no new troops at the east gate for the time being.  The army intercepted, so many puppet troops in the city followed and fired from the east gate. At first glance, it seemed that there were quite a few puppet troops who followed Yu Zhishan to retreat. However, Zhishan's luck could not be maintained, and he and his troops had not yet escaped.  Five miles later, Zhang Xinghan personally led a group of tanks and armored vehicles to catch up. The puppet troops running behind were immediately frightened when they saw such a powerful number of tanks and armored vehicles. The puppet troops behind Yu Zhishan were gradually surrendering.  As the two infantry regiments arrived, Zhang Xinghan led the armored troops to withdraw and continue the pursuit. Half an hour later, they finally caught up with Yu Zhishan and his remnants. Yu Zhishan raised his hands in despair.  The subordinates surrendered, and Zhang Xing and the Han Ming people took him away. The Battle of Shuangyang came to an end. After nearly a day of statistics, the New Army captured a total of prisoners.There were more than 43,000 puppet troops, and thousands of them were killed and injured. Some puppet troops took advantage of the chaos to escape and became stragglers.  Zhang Xinghan escorted all the more than 40,000 prisoners to Changchun. At this time, the Japanese 14th and 10th Divisions had abandoned Siping and retreated to Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan then ordered Wang Yicai to occupy Siping, and at the same time ordered Jiang Baili to stop the attack and withdraw to the Tongliao base.  After returning to Changchun, Zhang Xinghan stationed the 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment in Jilin, the 2nd Motorized Infantry Regiment, and the 3rd Motorized Infantry Regiment in Changchun. He ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the armored brigade north along the Zhongchang Railway and began to prepare to recover Harbin and Qiqihar.  In order to ensure the strength of Jilin's troops, the Fourth Motorized Infantry Division and the cavalry regiment directly under the headquarters were simultaneously transferred to the Tongliao base area, and the guard battalion moved towards Changchun.  The task of defending the base area is handed over to the Third Motorized Infantry Division led by Jiang Baili.  Within three days, Li Zhenyuan led the armored brigade to recapture Dehui, Fuyu and Harbin one after another. The puppet troops in the nearby counties on both sides of the Zhongchang Railway also surrendered and sent people to Changchun to express their willingness to join the Northeast New Army to Zhang Xinghan.  To the north, Zhao Zhenhe, the former commander of the 24th Independent Brigade, who was defeated by the Japanese a few months ago, also took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the opportunity to recapture Qiqihar.  Changchun City, the Fourth Motorized Infantry Division, the Cavalry Regiment, and the guard battalions have all arrived one after another.  Zhang Xinghan immediately began to prepare to reorganize the 40,000 captured soldiers and the puppet troops who surrendered to various counties.  …………… At the same time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Dalian and Lushun.  The commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hata, who was defeated in Shenyang, as well as the commanders of the 10th Division, the 2nd Division, the 6th Division and other divisions have been ordered to gather in Lushun.  The entire northern Manchuria area fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army. The entire Japanese base camp was extremely angry and ordered Muto Nobuyoshi to prepare troops and prepare for a fierce attack at any time.  In addition to recruiting and expanding new troops on the mainland, the Japanese base camp also transferred the troops used in Shanghai to the northeast via sea route, preparing to fight with all its strength to recapture the newly lost northern Manchuria.

    In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, Shunroku Hata and others were sitting upright with their arms folded.  <-> There was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a shout: "Commander Muto is here!" Hata Shunroku and others immediately stood up.  I saw Muto Nobuyoshi striding in wearing a military uniform, a general's sword on his waist, wearing long black leather boots with a dark face.  "General!" Hata Shunroku and others stood up and saluted.  Muto Nobuyoshi did not return the gift, but took off his general's sword and placed it on the conference table. He glanced at Hata Shunroku and others with a gloomy look, suddenly stretched out his right hand and patted his right cheek and said with a stern voice: "  Shame, simply a shame! In just one week, the imperial army lost the entire northern Manchuria. Our impregnable railway defense line became the laughing stock of the whole world.  It is written that the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia, because they were able to defeat the Japanese army, which is known as the world's largest army. This is an absolute shame for the Japanese Empire. The Battle of Northern Manchuria is a shame for you and me here!  Everyone should commit seppuku to His Majesty the Emperor and apologize to the entire Yamato nation!" Muto Nobuyoshi was almost roaring at the end.  His words were heartbreaking, as if they were slapped hard on the faces of Shunroku Hata and others, causing burning pain.  Hata Shunroku and others lowered their heads in shame and shouted "Hai" in unison.  After Muto Nobuyoshi finished speaking, he said with great sorrow and indignation: "Everyone, His Majesty the Emperor has solemnly granted all the generals of the Kwantung Army, including me, a chance to atone for their generals' crimes. Reinforcements will arrive in the near future. This time the Imperial Army will  The number of troops used will exceed any before, so this battle will be a battle that determines the fate of the empire. I hope you will learn from the lesson, change your mind, and make all preparations for the next battle. In this battle, we  The Yamato nation must avenge its shame!" "Hai, long live the Emperor. Long live the Empire of Japan! We are all willing to fight to the death for His Majesty the Emperor!" Hata Shunroku and others bowed their heads in unison.  ???…………………… In Changchun City, Zhang Xinghan’s desk was filled with letters of condolences sent by the Signal Corps from celebrities, gentlemen, and even students and other patriotic compatriots from all over the country.  There are even some ambiguous letters sent by all the famous ladies in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, which are similar to confessions of love.  In just one week, Zhang Xinghan led the new army to not only capture Jilin with the tactics of "black tigers tearing out the heart", but also occupied Changchun, and finally defeated the Japanese and recovered the entire northern Manchuria area.  And he also executed the evil traitor and treasonous Emperor Puyi of Manchukuo.  The morale of the whole people has been greatly boosted, and the number of new people has increased sharply.  It’s like hearing a lot.  Hu Shi and other Crescent Sect celebrities even expressed their opinions, calling Zhang Xinghan the savior of the Chinese nation.  Cai Yuanpei, the former president of Peking University, and many celebrities in North China even claimed that with Zhang Xinghan here, the whole of Liao would soon be restored to state ownership.  Zhang Xinghan’s personal reputation has once again reached an unprecedented height.  The whole country in China was excited, the people cheered and encouraged, and the Western world was extremely shocked. Major newspapers and news agencies exclaimed that a Napoleon had appeared in the East.  I briefly read a few condolence letters.  There was a sound of footsteps outside.  I looked up and saw Shen Xingye walking in quickly.  "Commander, the division commanders, Chief of Staff Chiang, and Deputy Division Commander Huang are all here. They are waiting for you in the conference room." Shen Xingye saluted with a snap.  "Well, I understand." Zhang Xinghan closed a condolence letter.  Picking up a document that had already been drafted, Shen Xingye stood up and said, "Let's go." Shen Xingye immediately turned sideways and waited for Zhang Xinghan to walk over first, then stepped out and followed Zhang Xinghan.  The conference room is located on the second floor of the former Changchun City Government. When Zhang Xinghan just walked to the door of the conference room, Shen Xingye, who was following him, suddenly shouted in a loud voice: &#x201c;Commander Zhang is here!  "The people in the conference room who were talking a moment ago fell silent immediately. Zhang Xinghan opened the door and walked in. Everyone, including Jiang Baili, stood up to show respect. Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting.  .  " With that said, Zhang Xinghan walked to the front seat, sat down and waved to everyone: "Everyone, please sit down.  " Everyone then sat down one after another. After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan said: "My colleagues, in the past week or so, we have achieved brilliant victories, and now we are ripe for large-scale military expansion.  After Zhang Xinghan said this, he took out the document he had brought and handed it to Jiang Baili, who was sitting next to him. He said to everyone: "This is the army expansion plan I have drafted in the past two days. Please circulate it first and see if there is anything."  Suggestions can be made.  " Jiang Baili took the lead to read it carefully, and then passed it on to Huang Xiansheng and others. After everyone read it, Zhang Xinghan asked: "How is it? Do you have any good suggestions?  " Jiang Baili was the first to speak: "Commander, your army expansion plan states that the first phase of our Northeast New Army's strength should be maintained at around 100,000 people. I think it is still a little small.  "    "oh?  If the Chief of Staff has any good suggestions or ideas, feel free to speak them out without any worries.  "Zhang Xinghan looked at him curiously and said. "First of all, our Northeast New Army's current strength has reached more than 50,000 people. In addition, more than 43,000 puppet soldiers were captured in this battle, which is already worth 100,000. In addition,  The number of puppet troops who surrendered in various counties and towns in northern Manchuria has exceeded 100,000.  I have roughly investigated the more than 40,000 puppet troops in the city. Except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled, most of these puppet troops are young and strong soldiers of the right age.  Therefore, we only need to screen out some people with bad conduct and the old, weak, sick and disabled, and we will eventually get about 40,000 usable soldiers.  After the above analysis, I think that based on the area we currently control,x4eba; With the population base, we can at least recruit about 50,000 to 70,000 available troops in a short period of time.  "Jiang Baili paused after saying this, looked at Zhang Xinghan and asked: "Commander, before continuing the analysis, I would like to ask what the commander's next goal is. If it is only to defend Northern Manchuria, then one hundred thousand soldiers will be able to attack it in a short time.  Inside is enough but if want to go further.  For example, going south to recapture southern Manchuria with a hundred thousand troops is not enough.  " Zhang Xinghan listened patiently and immediately replied: "The next step is of course to send troops south.  Retake Shenyang, even Dalian and the entire southern Manchuria.  "    "Um.  "Jiang Baili nodded and continued: "Since the commander's strategic goal is to regain the entire Liao Dynasty, I will continue to analyze it for everyone. At present, except for some remote areas in northern Manchuria, such as Manzhouli, we are still unable to take into account the outside world.  , most of the area has been included in the jurisdiction of our Northeast New Army.  With about 100,000 troops.  We must not only hold on to the long border with the Russians, but also be stationed in vast areas of Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. In the end, we will have very few troops left to attack South Manchuria.  Therefore, I suggest further expansion of the army, preferably increasing the number of troops to 170,000 to 200,000. A second-line reserve force of about 70,000 will be used to guard the border and be responsible for the defense and security of major and medium-sized cities in Jihei Province.  Concentrating one hundred thousand mobile troops, the troops can be divided into two routes to go south.  Starting from Tongliao all the way to attack Xinmin, and all the way along the South Manchuria Railway to directly attack Tieling, the two armies will eventually attack Shenyang.  ??In the end, a strategic battle was launched with the Japanese army in Shenyang, and the entire Southern Manchuria was captured.  If you fail, you can return to Beiman and make plans again.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement when he heard this. He admired Jiang Baili's analysis and suggestions in his heart. This person's strategic vision and analysis of the strategic overall situation are top-notch. " At least he sees more thoroughly than himself, and his insights are unique and reasonable.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan nodded happily and said: "The chief of staff's analysis is very reasonable, and I agree with your suggestion.  I will leave this matter to you with full authority&#29702; We can quickly order all counties and cities to post recruitment notices and recruit at least 70,000 to 100,000 recruits. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 who is in good health and has no bad habits can enlist.  "    "yes!  "Jiang Baili stood up and responded excitedly. "If everyone has nothing else to do, let's leave the meeting as it is.  "Zhang Xinghan stood up and said. Everyone stood up one after another and saluted and said goodbye. Zhang Xinghan did not leave, but stopped Huang Xiansheng and said: "Brother Jingzhong, don't leave yet.  "    "Um?  Commander, what's wrong with me?  "Huang Xiansheng stopped, turned around and walked over and asked. "That's right, now we have controlled most of the cities in Northern Manchuria. The garrison tasks of these counties and towns are the responsibility of the army, but daily security maintenance still needs to be done.  The police and the gendarmerie.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Commander, you want me to form a police force?  "Huang Xiansheng said suddenly. "Yes, brother Jingzhong, you were the police chief of Liaoning Province. The job of establishing the police force belongs to you.  Zhang Xinghan said with a smile: "You can decide on the scale of the police force establishment in major, medium and small cities. I will fully support you with the necessary funds and weapons."  " "Yes, the alarm bell will live up to the commander's trust, and we will do our best to handle this matter.  "Huang Xiansheng immediately stood up and agreed. Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved, and the two of them walked out of the conference room one after another. In the following days, Zhang Xinghan officially moved his Northeast New Army headquarters to Jilin City. When attacking Jilin, he saw  Thanks to Jilin's superior geographical location, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others were responsible for recruiting new soldiers, and the formation of police and gendarmerie units was handled by Huang Xiansheng, while Zhang Xinghan was responsible for the appointment and dispatch of political officials in major, medium and small cities.  It was handed over to Zang Shiyi, the former governor of Fengtian Province and mayor of Shenyang City. Of course, Shen Xingye's agents were under constant "protection". In addition to the headquarters, it was originally delayed in Tongliao No. 1.; The arsenal and other industrial plants that failed to resume production were also ordered by Zhang Xinghan to relocate to Jilin and begin formal reconstruction.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan also instructed Zang Shiyi to mobilize technicians and migrant workers to start building and expanding military aircraft in Harbin, Jilin, Changchun, Qiqihar and other places, and prepare to repair the Dongliao River Railway Bridge that was bombed by the Japanese.  After everything was basically arranged, Zhang Xinghan rarely had some leisure time. He took Wang Ruoying on a boat ride on the Songhua River, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Songhua River, fishing on the bow, and being accompanied by a beautiful woman. It was very pleasant.  ps: It’s the fifth update. Today’s tenth update should be no problem.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 183: Niang Xipi, he wants to be the king of the Northeast?

    It's August, and the cold weather in the Northeast has bid farewell to the cold winter and ushered in the scorching summer. By this time, the ice on the rivers has already melted.  Today, on the Songhua River, the water flows slowly on the wide river. There are high mountains and dense forests on both sides of the river. In summer, all kinds of flowers, plants and trees in the forest have grown new branches and leaves, and the scenery is beautiful.  Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying were on a small steamer with a cabin, followed by several captured patrol boats. Guards Battalion Commander Guo Zhong personally led a platoon of guards to accompany them for protection.  The steam engine of the small steamer has stopped running, and the ship is drifting slowly with the current. Zhang Xinghan is wearing a white shirt and black trousers, sitting on a chair, holding a telescope in his hand.  Wang Ruoying was wearing a white gauze skirt, a dome hat, and a pair of black sunglasses. She sat next to him and gently held his arm, leaning on his shoulder, with a look of happiness on her face.  Soon Zhang Xinghan discovered a group of wild ducks, immediately picked up a Garand semi-automatic rifle and stood up.  Wang Ruoying also stood up, looked ahead and said, "Xinghan, what do you want?" "It's okay, let me get my wife some game for you to try." As he said this, Zhang Xinghan had already turned on the safety and aiming sight of the steel gun in his hand.  .  After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his rifle and quickly aimed at the ducks playing in the water on the river bank about 150 meters ahead.  After locking one, Zhang Xinghan decisively pulled the trigger, and a crisp gunshot sounded, breaking the tranquility of the river.  Most of the wild ducks in the duck flock were frightened and ran away, but another duck floated on the water.  Zhang Xinghan put away his rifle and gave instructions to the soldiers behind the cabin. The soldiers immediately launched the boat and soon arrived at the place where the wild ducks were playing in the water.  Zhang Xinghan used an old net to fish out his prey and said with a smile: "Hey, dear, it's quite heavy. It weighs six or seven pounds at least. This is enough for us to have a full meal." "I will do it later.  I’ll cook it for you.” Wang Ruoying squatted down with a smile and looked at the prey.  "Really? You can also cook game?" "Well, when I was in Shenyang, my father often took me hunting. I am very good at it." Wang Ruoying nodded seriously.  "Then I will be blessed in the future. When the war is over and the country is at peace, I will go boating on the lake with you every day and stay together for the rest of our lives." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile and full of affection.  "Yes." Wang Ruoying had a happy smile on her face. At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.  …………After about half a month, Jiang Baili and others have recruited more than 50,000 new soldiers from all over Northern Manchuria. This progress has greatly exceeded the expectations of all the top officials of the New Army, including Zhang Xinghan.  .  But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. With Zhang Xinghan's personal reputation, the Northeast New Army's brilliant record, and good treatment, it is not surprising that there is a trend of enthusiastic joining the army.  After moving to Gulin, Zhang Xinghan chose a nice house in Gulin as his and Wang Ruoying's home.  Zhang Xinghan rested for more than half a month. In the past half month, he and his wife visited the mountains and rivers every day and had a good rest. Now he looks refreshed and full of energy.  Today he received a report that Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and Zang Shiyi were all coming to Gulin to report to him.  So he crawled out of bed early, washed himself, and after breakfast, he took a car to the headquarters.  When he arrived at the headquarters not far from his home, Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, Zang Shiyi and others had already arrived in advance and were just about to enter.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming in the car, several people rushed to greet him and saluted: "Commander." "Chief of Staff, you are here early." Zhang Xinghan got off the Gup car and smiled.  Salute and shake hands with them.  "Brother Jing Zhong and I took the train to Changchun last night, and happened to meet Governor Zang who was also coming to Gulin to report on his work, so we took the bus together and rushed here overnight." Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in first and talk later." Zhang Xinghan said and took the lead into the headquarters.  After entering the headquarters conference room, the orderly served them a cup of tea and then left.  After sitting down, Zhang Xinghan asked: "How is it? Is the recruitment of new soldiers going smoothly?" Jiang Baili hurriedly took out a document and handed it to Zhang Xinghan and said: "It went very smoothly. Here are the specific recruitment processes and enrollment figures for each county.  "Zhang Xinghan opened the file and was slightly surprised: "Sixty thousand? So fast?" "Yes. When they heard that our new army was recruiting troops to fight the Japanese to protect their hometown, people all over Northern Manchuria were very enthusiastic.Nowadays, there are still many people coming to enlist in the army every day.  "Jiang Baili said very happily. "Well, very good.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly and said: "I am very relieved when the Chief of Staff is doing his job. Let's reorganize as soon as possible. We will use the original four main divisions as the main ones and expand them to at least ten motorized infantry divisions. If we don't have enough troops, we can continue to recruit.  .  The original armored brigade has been expanded to three armored divisions. You can select the soldiers from each unit. The original artillery regiment has been expanded to at least three or five heavy artillery brigades.  In addition, the ten newly established main divisions will be equipped with directly subordinate artillery regiments, and a new tank regiment and an air defense regiment will be added.  Weapons and equipment, I will solve this for you, just do your best to do it.  "    "yes!  "Jiang Baili was a little excited, and nodded slightly. Zhang Xinghan turned to Huang Xiansheng and asked: "Brother Jing Zhong, do you have enough police troops in each county?  " Huang Xiansheng said with a somewhat depressed face: "For more than half a month, the humble position has only recruited less than 30,000 soldiers, and many of them are middle-aged soldiers in their thirties.  "    "oh?  That is how the matter?  "Zhang Xinghan asked with great interest. Huang Xiansheng deliberately nuzzled Jiang Baili and said sourly: "It's not because of the chief of staff. He recruited regular troops from the front. The military pay is high and the treatment is good. The common people are proud to join the new regular army.  Basically, those who are willing to join our police force are the remaining crooked melons and jujubes picked by the chief of staff.  "Haha, that's because you, the director of the police department, have not done enough publicity. You can publicize it so that the people know that joining the police force of our new army is also extremely co-prosperous. When necessary, the police force can  Troops also need to go to the battlefield, and to protect the lives and property of the people in their hometown, the meaning is not to go to the front line to kill ghosts!  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile. "However, currently there are troops in each county to jointly manage public security, and a humble job of more than 20,000 people can barely be used. When the main force is fully recruited, I think the situation should improve.  " Huang Xiansheng said. "Well, anyway, you just have to figure it out.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and turned his gaze to Zang Shiyi, who was sitting dangerously beside him. Zang Shiyi quickly took out a pile of documents, stood up and put them on the conference table in front of Zhang Xinghan respectfully, and said: "Commander Zhang, these are the documents from various departments in the Northern Manchuria region.  Appointments of county officials at all levels and their identity details.  "    "Um.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and did not rush to read the documents. He said, "How is the construction of airports and Donliao River Railway Bridge in various places?"  " "Reporting to the commander, Harbin Airport has completed the expansion on the original basis. Changchun, Qiqihar, Gulin, and Jiamusi Airports have now started construction one after another, and it is expected that they will be completed in one to two months!  Zang Shiyi replied calmly: "As for the Dongliao River Railway Bridge, it is too difficult. We also lack engineers in this area as well as the machinery and related talents to build large railway bridges. We don't have much clue yet."  When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he frowned and said: "The Dongliao River Railway Bridge is the only way for the South Manchuria Railway and the only way for us to march south. It must be repaired and opened to traffic within three months."  " Zang Shiyi said with some embarrassment: "This" "I know you have difficulties. If you don't have engineers, go to foreign countries. If you don't have equipment, buy it. Money is not an issue. No matter the Soviet Union or other European countries, as long as they are willing to help us repair it,  We will pay whatever the bridge costs, but I don’t believe it. The railway bridge that could be built during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties can’t be built here now?  "Zhang Xinghan said in an unquestionable tone. After receiving Zhang Xinghan's financial support, Zang Shiyi immediately said: "Yes, I will try my best to deal with this matter quickly, and I will try to repair it within three months.  "……………………Nanjing, Military Commission Conference Room. Jiang Gong had just finished a regular meeting. Accompanied by the Chief of Guards Wang Shihe, he just walked out of the conference room when he saw Dai Li, Director of the Secret Service of Lanyi Society.  Chairman Chiang walked towards him quickly. Wang Shihe stood outside the door knowingly. When Dai Li arrived, he waved for him to go in. When he saw Chairman Chiang wearing a Chinese tunic suit, Dai Li took off his hat and saluted.  Said: "Principal, students here have the latest information about Northeast China.  "    "oh?  What's going on in the Northeast now?  "Chairman Chiang asked. After Zhang Xinghan occupied Changchun, Gulin and other northern Manchuria areas, he recruited troops on a large scale in the past half a month. At present, the total number of troops in his hands has exceeded the 150,000 mark." "What,  150,000?" Chairman Jiang was also surprised: "You are not mistaken, right?" "Reporting to the principal, this news has been verified repeatedly. When Zhang Xinghan reorganized the Duli Division into the Northeast New Army without authorization,  , his troops had reached 50,000, and when he occupied southern Manchuria, he captured at least more than 40,000 prisoners.army, and incorporated most of them into the army.  In the past nearly a month, he has recruited no less than 60,000 new soldiers in Gulin, various large and medium-sized cities in Heilongjiang, and rural areas. Adding in the surrendered puppet troops from various counties, the total strength of his new army is  Now 150,000 is just a lot more.  Dai Li said. "With an army of 150,000, my mother Xipi, does this Zhang Xinghan also want to imitate the Zhang family and his son, stand outside the pass, and become the king of the Northeast?"  "Chairman Chiang said with a hint of anger in his tone.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 184: The Problem of the Middle East Railway

    "It's very possible. I also heard from my humble position that Zhang Xinghan was in Gulin and that major cities in Heilongjiang were starting to build military airports. His intentions are obvious." Dai Li said hurriedly.  Hearing this, Chairman Jiang frowned and fell into deep thought. He was weighing the pros and cons. How should he deal with the strong rise of Zhang Xinghan? Should he kill him?  Stay?  Dai Li didn’t say much. He knew that Chairman Chiang was also hesitant at this moment. As an excellent agent, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.  He knows better what to say and what not to say. Therefore, regarding how to deal with Zhang Xinghan, even if he obviously prefers to solve it as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles, he will not directly suggest to Chairman Chiang to kill Zhang Xinghan.  He has to wait for Chairman Chiang to make this decision himself. In any case, Zhang Xinghan is the most popular person in China today.  The halo of national hero has been firmly placed on his head. It is not difficult to imagine how much shock it will cause at home and abroad if the news of Zhang Xinghan's assassination is revealed.  “Perhaps Chairman Chiang will use him as a scapegoat in order to shirk responsibility. This is really a big deal for Chairman Chiang.  As Dai Li expected, it didn't take long for Chairman Chiang to ponder: "Yunong, what do you think about Zhang Xinghan's unauthorized military expansion?" Dai Li was slandering in his heart, but on the surface he still bowed his head respectfully and said: "Yu Nong, what do you think of Zhang Xinghan's unauthorized military expansion?"  All farmers obey the principal's arrangements, and the principal obeys his orders. Although Zhang Xinghan expanded the army without authorization, his outstanding military exploits have made him a national anti-Japanese hero. In short, this person cannot be treated as a regular person and needs to be carefully considered. "  "You said that if I ordered him to come to Beijing to report on his duties, would he come?" Chairman Chiang suddenly said.  "Probably not." Dai Li said without hesitation.  "If he dares to come to Nanjing, it means that he has no wrong intentions. If he doesn't come, it means that he has something evil in his heart. If he really wants to support his troops and respect himself, and imitate the Zhang family and his son to become the local emperor outside the Pass, then he must do whatever it takes.  The price is to eliminate the root cause in advance," Chairman Chiang said to the point.  Dai Li's eyes lit up and he accepted the order happily: "Student understands." "Well, you go back and let Shihe come see me." Chairman Jiang signaled.  "Yes! Students resign!" Dai Li stood up and saluted, then turned around and left as ordered.  ……………………………Gulin City, General Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan was about to go home for dinner when Xiao Lizi, who has now been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel Communications Officer of the New Army Headquarters, his real name is Li Guocai, hurriedly stopped him holding a message.  "Commander, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has an urgent message from Nanjing." "Hmm?" Zhang Xinghan stopped and turned around when he heard this, and said, "What does the message say?" "Commander Chiang Kai-shek has ordered you to go to Nanjing to report on your work and participate in the meeting organized by the Military Commission in the near future.  ." Li Guocai said.  "Going to Nanjing?" Zhang Xinghan changed slightly and reached out to take the message and read it again. He frowned and said to Li Guocai after thinking for a moment: "Call back to Chairman Chiang and say that the situation in Northeast China is still unstable. Please consider it."  I'll give you a reply after dealing with urgent matters." "Yes!" Li Guocai agreed and turned around to take the order and walked towards the telecommunications room.  Zhang Xinghan had just walked outside the headquarters gate when he saw Shen Xingye walking over in a hurry.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Shen Xingye quickly saluted and said: "Commander, I just got the news that Japan has begun its first national strategic mobilization. It seems that it is determined to take back Southern Manchuria and fight to the death with us."  It’s urgent to understand that our top priority now is to expand and train the new army as soon as possible. We will not be able to complete the mobilization in a few months,” Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, there is one more thing." Shen Xingye stopped him and said.  "What's going on?" "The foreign reporters who interviewed you in Shenyang last time are here again, and they should have arrived in Changchun now." "Oh, I know, you can arrange interviews with them after they arrive in Gulin." Zhang Xinghan  After saying that, he got on the Gup car.  ………………………Two days later, in the conference room of the Northeast New Army Headquarters.  More than 20 journalists from Britain, the United States, France and other countries, headed by Alice and Erin Matt, gathered together.  They were either discussing something in a low voice or checking their photography equipment.  Sitting on the right side of the conference table is Alice, the chief ace reporter of Reuters. Her last interview in China was a complete success. The article she published after her return about Zhang Xinghan, China’s new god of war, attracted much attention.  Now a few months have passed, and the situation in Northeast China has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhang Xinghan, a legendary figure, has created a series of incredible miracles.  So her reportThe boss sent her to China again to interview Zhang Xinghan, who she had met once before.  “Coincidentally, Eileen, the American Times reporter with whom she traveled together last time and developed a profound friendship, is also coming to China again.  "Alice, what kind of person is this Zhang Xinghan? He can actually create so many seemingly incredible miracles in just a few months." Eileen said out of boredom.  "He should be a Napoleonic oriental hero. Yes, he is now a world-famous Chinese hero. His record creation time is even shorter and faster than Napoleon's, almost one after another." Alice smiled.  road.  "Well, I also think that I have always heard in the past that Chinese people are cowards and even called the sick man of East Asia. Now the appearance of Zhang Xinghan has changed my understanding of this country. They also have brave and fearless soldiers.  There are also extremely outstanding generals," Eileen said meaningfully.  "Eileen, those who say China is cowardly mean that they don't understand the true history of China. Their Han nation once created glory comparable to our British Empire, and their blood was filled with bravery and martial arts.  It’s just that the Qing Dynasty in modern times was incompetent and castrated the bloody and martial spirit of the Han nation. However, since the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the bloody and martial spirit of the Chinese nation seems to be gradually awakening.  The ** team is the best example and representative," Alice said patiently.  After they finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the conference room: "Commander Zhang is here!" "He's here." Alice is proficient in Chinese and is familiar with the history and culture of Han Dynasty. She took the lead in saying to Irene.  stood up.  More than 20 male and female reporters stood up and turned around, only to see a young officer with a handsome face like a standard oriental man. He was wearing a new military uniform and shiny long leather boots. He strode in with his head held high and his chest high. He was tall and tall.  , giving a tough and upright temperament.  "Hello everyone." Zhang Xinghan walked to the front and waved to the reporters.  "General Zhang, it seems that we haven't seen each other for almost half a year, but you are still so handsome." Irene joked with a joking tone.  "Oh, it's you, Miss Eileen, I remembered it. Thank you for your compliment. Please sit down, everyone." Zhang Xinghan said calmly.  "You can ask any questions you have, but you have to come one by one. I have plenty of time today, so there is no need to rush." ??After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan said with a kind smile.  A Soviet male reporter raised his hand first. After Zhang Xinghan nodded his approval, he stood up and spoke a lot in Russian.  But Zhang Xinghan couldn't understand a word of it. He shrugged helplessly and said in English: "Sāo Rui, sir, I can't understand a word of what you said. Please use English or Chinese." Alice and  Irene and other reporters from the United Kingdom and the United States couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Zhang Xinghan's words and the stunned expressions of the Soviet reporters.  "Hey, isn't this Miss Alice? I'm very sorry, I didn't recognize you just now. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you are getting more and more beautiful." Zhang Xinghan suddenly said in Chinese.  Alice then suppressed her laughter and said in proficient Chinese: "Thank you, General Zhang, for the compliment, but the general seems to be in some trouble. Do you need a Russian translation?" "You know Russian?" Zhang Xinghan secretly said in surprise.  .  "Of course, I am proficient in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese." Alice said with some pride.  Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised. This little foreign girl is really not an ordinary girl. She is proficient in so many languages. Could it be that she is a spy?  If Alice could read minds, she would probably be pissed to death by Zhang Xinghan's guess.  The reason why she knows so many foreign languages ??is not only because she loves learning and has a higher talent for languages ??than ordinary people, but also because her family’s huge financial resources also provide her with the opportunity to learn so many foreign languages.  She has hardly left home since she was a child. Teachers who are proficient in various languages ??will come to her home to teach her carefully.  Even some history books from other countries, even if they are thousands of miles away, will appear in her study within a month if she wants them.  This shows how terrifying his family’s financial resources and strength are.  "General, don't you need it?" Alice saw Zhang Xinghan was silent, and she blinked her big sapphire eyes at him with some dissatisfaction.  “You need it, of course you need it, then I’ll bother Miss Alice.” Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  Alice nodded and turned to think about the confused Soviet male reporter who said a few words in Russian. The Soviet reporter's face turned red for a while.  &nbsp; Finally, I mustered up the courage to say a lot to Alice, and then sat down.  Alice put away her smile, turned her head and translated to Zhang Xinghan: "General Zhang, this Soviet colleague asked me to ask you for him, now that your troops have seized control of the North Manchuria area, what about the ownership of the China-Eastern Railway?"  , what are you going to do? I heard that your subordinates have expelled some Russian Railways employees. What is your explanation for this? " "Oh, I will investigate this issue clearly, but what I want to tell you is,  The Northeast has been China's territory since ancient times. In fact, not only the three northeastern provinces, but also Vladivostok is the territory of our Chinese nation. It was just seized and occupied by your tsar in modern times. After the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, your leader Mr. Lenin once said  All the Chinese territory occupied by Tsarist Russia will be returned to us, China. Why haven’t you seen your government take actual actions yet?” Zhang Xinghan’s tone became more serious as he spoke.

    Perhaps he noticed the change in Zhang Xinghan's face. After listening to Alice's translation, the Soviet male reporter's face turned a little pale, and he quickly explained: "I am just an ordinary reporter. I have no right to answer on behalf of the government of our country."  This is your question.” After listening to Alice’s translation, Zhang Xinghan nodded, regained his smile and said, “Since you don’t have the right to answer on behalf of your country, please don’t ask questions about politics, national sovereignty, etc.  Question." American reporter Erin raised her hand for the second time. After receiving Zhang Xinghan's agreement, she stood up and asked in English: "General, can you tell me what plans or strategic goals you and your army have next?  " Zhang Xinghan smiled after hearing this and said: "Originally, this involves military secrets, I can't disclose it to you, but there is one thing I can tell you seriously and responsibly, the next strategic goals of me and my subordinates.  That is, to recover all the lost territory in the northeast of our country and eliminate all enemies who have occupied our territory." Zhang Xinghan's words immediately aroused discussion among the reporters present. The male Soviet reporter was even more worried. Is he also going to war with Russia and the Soviet Union?  After Dang Yao’s interview ended, reporters from all over the world, including the Soviet male reporter, sent what they had interviewed back to China.  Moscow, Kremlin.  Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, dressed in a suit, hurriedly walked towards the office of the Soviet power center.  There were many heavily armed and tall Soviet guards along the way Beria passed, but these guards did not stop him, which shows that his identity is different from that of regular visitors.  Beria is the leader of the Soviet secret police force, similar to Dai Li, the Chinese leader, but he has much greater authority than Dai Li.  Quickly arriving in front of SDL's office, Beria gently knocked on the door and reported: "Dear leader of SDL, I have something important to report." After a while, a quiet sound came from the office.  But he revealed an unspeakable majestic voice: "Come in." Beria opened the door and walked in. Behind the desk, he saw SDL sitting on a recliner with his back to him, facing the wall, hanging on the wall.  Holding a huge map of the world.  "Dear leader, our intelligence workers have just returned from Northeast China a message that cannot be ignored." Beria bowed his head respectfully.  "What's the matter?" SDL didn't turn around for a while, and asked in a lukewarm tone, as if the world map attracted him.  "A new Chinese general has emerged in Northeast China. He led his troops to develop and grow in half a year, and defeated the Japanese army that had captured the entire Northeast. Currently, it has occupied the entire North Manchuria region." Beria had just finished speaking.  SDL interrupted him, "Beria, I hope you will not be disappointed. If you come to me just for these trivial things and have nothing to do with the interests of our great Soviet Union, then I will be very disappointed."  "Beria was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head and said: "Dear leader, please listen to what I have to say. The newly rising Northeast warlords have expelled our employees on the China Eastern Railway, and their commander.  In a media interview, he openly questioned Chinese reporters, saying that Vladivostok is their Chinese territory, and asked why we did not implement Lenin's declaration on China. "Beria did not dare to say any more at this point. He was waiting for sdl.  Reaction.  Sure enough, SDL finally turned around, looked at Beria with a gloomy face and said, "What is the name of this newly emerged warlord?" "Zhang Xinghan." Beria answered hurriedly.  "Zhang Xinghan? What is his relationship with Zhang Xueliang?" SDL asked doubtfully.  "Reporting to the leader, he and Zhang Xueliang are not related. They just have the same last name. In just over half a year, this person has developed from scratch into a new type of warlord with a strength of hundreds of thousands.  , and this person seems to be very hostile to our great Soviet Russia," Beria said.  "Order the Far East authorities. If Zhang Xinghan is dishonest, we don't mind teaching him a lesson just like Zhang Xueliang. Anyone who dares to touch the China Eastern Railway is our enemy of the entire Soviet Russia. We will completely eliminate them." SDL said in a cold tone.  The way.  "Yes!" After receiving SDL's clear attitude, Belia lowered his head in response, turned around and left respectfully.  SDL’s order was quickly passed on to the Soviet Far East authorities. After receiving the order, the Far East authorities immediately began secret pre-war preparations to deal with any possible war conflicts.  ???……More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the recruitment of the Northeast New Army and the establishment of the local police force have been basically completed.  Qiqihar, Harbin, Jiamusi, Changchun, and five ancient forestsThe military airport has also been restored.  The Dongliao River Railway Bridge is also undergoing emergency repairs, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.  After nearly two months of recruitment, Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army has recruited more than 120,000 qualified recruits.  With the addition of more than 40,000 puppet troops and more than 10,000 surrendered puppet troops, the total strength of the Northeast New Army now exceeds 200,000.  Zhang Xinghan expanded the nearly 230,000 troops into ten motorized infantry divisions. The number of troops was specifically based on the original New Army Motorized Infantry Division, but directly affiliated tank regiments, air defense regiments, and artillery battalions were also expanded into artillery regiments.  On average, each division has an income of about 13,000 to 15,000.  In addition to ten motorized infantry divisions, Zhang Xinghan expanded three armored divisions and four heavy artillery brigades on the original basis.  Each armored division has three regiments, and there is no brigade level. They are two tank regiments, two hundred Panzer IV tanks, an air defense regiment, and one hundred armed armored vehicles, equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons.  The heavy artillery brigade has four heavy artillery battalions, which can also be called a reinforced heavy artillery regiment, all equipped with 150mm caliber heavy artillery, an air defense regiment, and troops directly under the brigade headquarters.  Each armored division has about 15,000 troops, and each heavy artillery brigade has about 4 to 5,000 troops.  It is a motorized infantry division with the designations from the 1st to the 10th Division of the Northeast New Army. This designation was self-proclaimed by Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili at the time. It is impossible for the national government to give them so many official designations.  "But it doesn't matter. With the territory, financial revenue, and foundation, everything can be self-sufficient, and the same goes for the military establishment number.  The commanders of the ten motorized infantry divisions are respectively Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe, Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wang Yicai, Wang Tiehan, Zhang Shixian, Gao Chu and Du Ting.  The three armored divisions were combined into the Armored Group Army, with Zhang Xinghan concurrently serving as the commander of the group army, and Li Zhenyuan as deputy commander. Zhang Xinghan must firmly control such a strategic force in his own hands.  However, Li Zhenyuan is responsible for daily training and command. When encountering major battles or major events, Zhang Xinghan's personal telegram or handwriting is needed.  After the reorganization of the troops was completed, Zhang Xinghan deployed as follows: the Duli 1st Division was stationed in Gulin City, and the Armored Group Army was stationed in the area of ??Gulin and Changchun.  The 2nd Duli Division is stationed in Siping and Changchun, and the 3rd Duli Division is stationed in Tongliao.  The 4th duli division is stationed in Harbin, the 5th duli division is stationed in Qiqihar, the 6th duli division is stationed in Jiamusi, and the 7th duli division is stationed in Heihe.  The 8th Duli Division was ordered to march towards Manzhouli, the 9th Duli Division was stationed in Songyuan, and the 10th Division was stationed in Yichun.  Of the four heavy artillery brigades, one is deployed in Harbin, and the other three are deployed in Gulin, Changchun and Tongliao.  In addition to the army, the flight group has also been stationed in Gulin, Harbin and Jiamusi from Tongliao Airport.  From the deployment of troops, it is not difficult to see that at this time, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili’s strategic focus was still on Southern Manchuria.  After the army expansion is completed, the above-mentioned troops will quickly go to their respective designated defense areas.  However, when Liu Guodong's Duli Fifth Division was advancing towards Qiqihar, an accident occurred.  When Wu Chengfeng, then the commander and deputy commander of the first regiment of the 5th Duli Division, led his regiment to Qiqihar along the Middle East Railway, he clashed with a group of members of the Soviet Federation of Industry and Commerce.  The cause of the incident is that while Zhang Xinghan was expanding his army on a large scale, he also asked Zang Shiyi to start drastic reforms and streamline government affairs.  At the same time, the police and military police formed by Zang Shiyi and Huang Xiansheng were secretly instructed to begin a phased and targeted recovery of the China Eastern Railway.  This move by the New Army government naturally aroused serious protests from the Soviet Eastern Railway Administration, especially when they learned that the Supreme Leader had authorized the Far East authorities to prepare for war.  Even more unscrupulously, they gathered their joint industrial and commercial teams and openly blocked the government gate of Qiqihar. Since all the regular troops went to Changchun for reorganization, they had not yet returned.  Only a few police officers were left in Qiqihar to maintain law and order, and the confrontation between the two sides continued.  Wu Chengfeng arrived with his group. Seeing that Lao Maozi dared to block his own government office, Wu Chengfeng became furious and immediately led his group to expel them.  The members of the Soviet Union of Industry and Commerce were unwilling to retreat, and a fight broke out between the two sides. In the chaos, Wu Chengfeng's head was smashed with bricks by either himself or the Soviet Union.  Covering his bleeding forehead, Wu Chengfeng became angry, picked up a general-purpose machine gun and aimed at the old men who were no different from the rioters and were fighting with his subordinates.  The regiment commander and deputy division commander all opened fire, and the officers and soldiers of the regiment who had been angry for a long time immediately opened fire one after another.  The conflict eventually turned into a massacre?Sacrificial massacre, of course the ones being massacred were the troublemaking old men.  After becoming red-eyed, Wu Chengfeng did not stop and ordered his subordinates to seal the Soviet Embassy in Qiqihar. With the cooperation of the police, he arrested all Soviet-Russian railway employees in Qiqihar.  When Shen Xingye’s agents learned of this information and urgently reported it to Zhang Xinghan, the situation had reached an irreversible point.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 186: The Border War breaks out

    Gulin, the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  The atmosphere in the conference room seemed particularly depressing. The emergency meeting was attended by Huang Xiansheng, commander of the First Division and director of the Security Bureau of Guhei Province, Jiang Baili, chief of general staff of the Northeast New Army, and Li Zhenyuan, deputy commander of the Armored Group Army.  Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette and frowned. After a long time, he suppressed another thought and said to Jiang Baili and Huang Xian, "Do you have anything to say?" "Commander, I think this matter may be a problem."  The war that caused us to enter the war with Russia should be to remove Wu Chengfeng and investigate and deal with it first to ease the situation. After all, our new army has just been formed, and more than half of them are new soldiers, who lack training and combat experience." Huang Xiansheng said the same.  He frowned.  Jiang Baili did not speak, but was deep in thought, as if thinking about something.  Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "Brother Jing Zhong, you still don't understand the Soviet Union. If Wu Chengfeng just arrested a Russian railway employee, it would be fine. If he releases him and apologizes, this matter will be over."  "But this bastard almost wiped out Lao Maozi's railway industrial and commercial unit in Qiqihar, killing at least a hundred people! It's impossible for the Russians to let us go." "What should we do?"  Worried.  "What else can we do? We can only start fighting." Zhang Xinghan said angrily.  "But, right now, Southern Manchuria is still in the hands of the Japanese, and we are at war with Lao Maozi. If the Japanese take advantage of the situation and attack, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?" Huang Xiansheng said very worriedly.  "Being attacked from both sides is unlikely for the time being. Japan's Kwantung Army was severely wounded by our defeat and will be unable to move northward in a short period of time. If a war breaks out with Russia, we only need to defend Siping and Tongliao. This is very important to us.  It’s not difficult,” Jiang Baili said suddenly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and asked eagerly: "Chief of Staff, if we go to war with Lao Maozi, what do you think? Do you think we have a chance of winning?" Jiang Baili pondered: "About the specific number of Russian troops in the Far East  , I don’t know very well, but based on the Middle East Road incident three years ago, once a war breaks out, the Russian army can reach at least 100,000 troops in a short time. And the Russian army is different from the Japanese army. It is no longer the Russian army during the Tsarist period.  Since the October Revolution, their weapons and equipment and the ideological and willpower of their combat personnel have undergone earth-shaking changes. Therefore, there are still considerable risks in this battle with Russia.  But we are not without a chance of winning. At least our air force and armored forces should have an absolute advantage." After listening to Jiang Baili's analysis, Zhang Xinghan nodded, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Instruct all divisions to move in immediately.  respective defense zones to prevent possible attacks by Russia. If Russia enters a war, then we will accompany them to fight and take advantage of the opportunity to take back all control of the China Eastern Railway. Damn it, China has been cowardly for many years, foreign countries have entered the war.  They can build railways on our land and occupy it for a long time. " "Since the commander has decided to fight, we must prepare as soon as possible." Jiang Baili said.  "Well, the Armored Group Army, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigades will move toward Harbin immediately. The 2nd Division will hand over the city defense task to the Changchun Police Force. The entire division will also immediately move toward Harbin along the railway." Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered.  .  "Oh, by the way, there is also the Air Force Flying Group. Except for the necessary reconnaissance aircraft, the rest of the main fighter bombers will immediately divert to Harbin Airport as a precautionary measure." "Yes!" Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng, Li Zhenyuan stood up at the same time and agreed.  "Brother Jing Zhong, I will leave Gulin to you. The chief of staff and I will go to Changchun first, and then go to Harbin in case a war breaks out." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said to Huang Xiansheng.  "Commander, please rest assured. As long as I am here, there will never be any accidents in Gulin." Huang Xiansheng assured, patting his chest.  Vladivostok, the headquarters of the Russian Far East Military District.  The current commander of the Far East Military Region, Vasily Konstantinovich Bluukher, was roaring to his subordinates with great indignation: "Comrades, the Northeast China Army has openly massacred hundreds of our citizens in Qiqihar. The Supreme Leader has already  Agreeing to carry out the crusade against the Northeast Central Committee, we will be prepared to make all sacrifices and fight to the end to defend the honor of SL and fight to the end for the Russian citizens who died unjustly."  , Revenge for the dead compatriots!" Bluher shouted emotionally, raising his arms.  "Revenge, revenge." A group of Russian army officers raised their arms and shouted.  ……………Three days later, all units of the Northeast New Army have entered their predetermined positions. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili also led the guard battalion to Harbin by train.  &nbsp; Shen Xingye, who had already arrived in Harbin first, and Liu Jianguo, commander of Duli's 4th Division stationed in Harbin, rushed to the station to greet them.  After getting into the car that Shen Xingye and Liu Jianguo had prepared, Zhang Xinghan asked: "Yizhi, how are you? Is there any movement from Lao Maozi?" "Yes, Lao Maozi has sent additional troops in the direction of Hailanpao and Manzhouli.  There are signs, and the original garrison is also preparing for battle," Shen Xingye answered straightforwardly.  "It seems that a war with Lao Maozi is inevitable." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Even if the Qiqihar incident doesn't happen, we will still have a battle with Lao Maozi." Jiang Baili suddenly said in shock.  "Why did the chief of staff say this?" Zhang Xinghan planned to be strong enough in the future when Germany attacked Russia and take the opportunity to regain the lands that belonged to the Chinese nation.  But he didn’t expect Jiang Baili Jingran to have such thoughts.  "Because our Northeastern New Army has gradually become stronger, and the strength will make the old Maozi turn away from mice. In the future, the Middle East Railway will be an extremely important railway transportation line for us, and it will definitely be taken back, and Russia's entry is a guarantee  Among them, the privileges of the Eastern Railway are bound to fall out with us, so sooner or later we will have a war, so there is no difference between fighting now and fighting later. " "Of course we have a considerable number of troops.  They are all new recruits, but we still have nearly 100,000 veterans with combat experience. Our air force, ground armored forces and heavy artillery brigades have an absolute advantage. If something unexpected happens, Russia is not fully prepared to enter now. If we wait until now.  In the future, if we are strong enough, as we become stronger, Russia will inevitably increase its military strength in the Far East to cope with the pressure and potential threats we bring to them," Jiang Baili analyzed in detail.  "Well, that makes sense." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement, suddenly enlightened and relieved. He was indeed too worried. In terms of firearms, ground armor assault power and air power, his Northeast New Army is no worse than Lao Maozi.  .  “I also have advanced knowledge that is nearly a world ahead of this era. With Jiang Baili’s assistance, my ability to use tactics and strategic layout will be upgraded to a higher level.  Decades later, New China relied on millet and rifles to defeat the United States, which was armed to the teeth and known as the world's largest military power, forcing the United States to sign the first armistice agreement signed due to failure since the founding of the People's Republic of China.  He has an army of 200,000, and has weapons, equipment and technical weapons that are more advanced than the Russian army, and he has no worries about ammunition, fuel, etc.  ?Compared to the Russian army, their logistics and transportation all rely on the Trans-Siberian Railway. As long as their own air force can destroy the Trans-Siberian Railway as much as possible, paralysis can effectively weaken the Russian army's logistical supplies.  By then victory will not be far away.  The most important thing is that the Russian army will definitely not launch a large-scale war of aggression against China at this time, because its strategic center is in Europe.  “As long as we moderately control the attack on the Russian army, the two sides are likely to return to the negotiating table.  Of course, if the Soviet Union is determined to invade China at all costs, Zhang Xinghan is not afraid. In the worst case, he will lead his troops to retreat to the pass, or he may lead his troops into the mountains to fight guerrillas. He has unlimited ammunition production machines and logistical military supplies without worries.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan can definitely try his best. You must know that the best place to train qualified soldiers is the battlefield.  Ten years of training is not as good as going to the battlefield to fight. The real elites are never trained on the training ground, but are forged on the real battlefield through bloody battles.  When Zhang Xinghan and others entered the headquarters of Duli's 4th Division in Harbin.  The divisional communications corps of the 4th Division received an urgent telegram just transferred from Gulin.  About one division of the Russian army suddenly launched an attack on Aihui from Hailanpao. Wang Tiehan of the Duli 7th Division stationed in Heihe immediately counterattacked, and the two sides started a fierce battle.  The Russian army quickly increased its troops, and with the cover of its naval ships, it transported about two regiments of troops across Heilongjiang. At the same time, it dispatched the air force to bomb the Duli 7th Division defense forces.  Wang Tiehan led his troops to resist resolutely and asked Zhang Xinghan for help.  After reading the message, Zhang Xinghan immediately responded: "Order, the flying regiment is dispatched immediately. The 6th Division of Jiamusi Duli immediately sends troops to reinforce Heihe. At the same time, the 1st and 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment are deployed to quickly move along the railway towards the Heilongjiang border.  Inform the troops on the front line that this is a battle to protect our homeland and our soldiers should fight bravely to defend our territorial integrity!" The communications troops immediately took the order and left.  Jiang Baili said: "Commander, should you send an armored division to help the black army?"?Frontline?  "No, Heihe is blocked by Heilongjiang. The more contest between the enemy and us will be artillery and air force. Armored troops are unlikely to be of use, but in the direction of Manchuria. I think the armored troops entering from Russia will definitely break through from Manzhouli."  , marching towards Hyrule.  " Zhang Xinghan said.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 187: Victory in the First Battle

    Jiang Baili nodded in agreement and said: "Then let's quickly transfer the Armored Group Army to Manchuria. Compared with the terrain of Heihe, Manzhouli is easier for Russia to break through." "I plan to personally lead the Armored Group Army to Manchuria to prepare for Russia.  If the army launches an assault, the defense of the northern front will be left to you." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  When it comes to commanding armored troops in combat, Li Zhenyuan is far behind him. Lao Maozi's tank troops and artillery troops cannot be underestimated. Zhang Xinghan had to be cautious, so he decided to personally command this battle.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's resolute attitude, Jiang Baili did not dissuade him too much, but said: "Commander, you must pay attention to safety, you are the backbone of our 200,000 new army." "I know this, I will not take the lead and risk the charge.  Yes, in terms of tactical command ability, Zhenyuan is not as good as me, so I can act according to the situation and formulate the most correct battle plan." Zhang Xinghan said.  That same day, Zhang Xinghan led three armored divisions to advance westward along the Zhongchang Railway toward Manzhouli. At the same time, Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng's duli 5th Division were mobilized from Qiqihar to Hulunbuir for reinforcements.  The first to arrive in Manzhouli was not the armored force led by Zhang Xinghan, but Zhang Shixian's unit of Duli's 8th Division, which had been ordered to station in Manzhouli earlier.  Almost as soon as Zhang Shixian's 8th Division arrived in Manchuria, it met the Russian offensive troops head-on.  The Russians used tanks and armored vehicles as their assault force, supplemented by fierce artillery fire, and easily repelled Zhang Shixian's Duli 8th Division.  The Russian army then occupied Manzhouli and pursued Zhang Shixian's troops all the way to Hailar.  At the critical moment, Zhang Xinghan led three armored divisions, a huge torrent of steel consisting of 600 tanks and 300 armored vehicles arrived.  One armored division made a frontal assault, and two armored divisions outflanked them. The tanks and armored vehicles in front of them could easily wipe out the Russian tank and armored force that was pursuing Zhang Shixian's troops.  At this time, the first batch of Russian medium-sized tanks, the T-28, had not yet officially entered service. Lao Maozi's tank and armored forces were still equipped with the MC-18 tanks that fought against the Fengtian Army three years ago.  This kind of tank is known as a replica of the Russian Renault tank. Its performance is similar to the batch of Renault tanks of the Northeast Army that the original Fengjun, Zhang Xinghan, received in Shenyang City.  Even the German Panzer III tanks that the Northeastern New Army replaced some time ago are inferior, let alone the more advanced Panzer IV tanks now equipped by the Northeastern New Army.  “ Moreover, Lao Maozi’s tank unit only has less than thirty vehicles, which is less than one-thirtieth of the armored group army of the Northeast New Army.  In the case of the original aspect of Xing, it was beaten by thirty to one.  The fate of the Russian tank troops can be imagined.  After annihilating this Russian tank force without much effort, Zhang Xinghan could order the Duli 8th Division to join forces with the Qiqihar Duli 5th Division, which came for reinforcements, and the three armored divisions to counterattack towards Manchuria.  At this time, the Russian army had less than two infantry regiments in Manchuria. It was learned that the tank troops had been wiped out, and China's Northeastern New Army counterattacked in a large scale.  The Russian army quickly called for reinforcements while holding on to the spot, hoping to hold on until reinforcements arrived and defeat the Northeastern Army.  However, when Zhang Xinghan led a huge torrent of steel consisting of nearly a thousand tanks and armored vehicles, arrived in Manzhouli.  "Lao Maozi was all stunned. They had no idea that this Northeast Army actually had such a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.  Zhang Xinghan did not give the Russian troops a chance to breathe, nor did he stop because of their surprise. He immediately ordered the tanks and armored troops to launch a fierce fire attack on the Russian positions in Manchuria with thousands of guns fired.  Subsequently, the Duli 5th Division was dispatched to launch an all-out attack on Manchuria in conjunction with tanks and armored vehicle units.  Wu Chengfeng, who caused great disaster in the Qiqihar Incident, was extremely brave. As the deputy division commander, he took the lead and personally led a regiment of officers and soldiers to charge with the tanks.  Because of its special geographical location, Manzhouli is different from other cities. It is a border county without city walls.  No matter which side the defenders belong to, they can only build field defenses along the city.  In such a flat terrain, without the obstruction of city walls, the assault capabilities of tanks and armored vehicles will be maximized.  ??The simultaneous fire coverage of nearly a thousand tanks, six hundred 75mm tank guns, hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns, and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns is something that no single army can bear.  Especially in the absence of complete and strong permanent defenses.  In just ten minutes of fierce firepower, the Russian army of less than two regiments suffered hundreds of casualties under the powerful assault of the New Army tank troops.  Their defense line was in a state of emergency in less than half an hour.Cheng Feng led the infantry into the Russian position and launched a fierce sweep with submachine guns and machine guns.  The Russian army was completely defeated, but they had been surrounded by 30,000 troops in front of a tank. Except for a few who resisted and were beaten to death by bullets, most of them wisely threw away their weapons and chose to surrender.  Zhang Xinghan did not order the prisoners to be killed. He did not want to anger the leader of Lao Maozi too much, because now is not the time for a full-scale war with Lao Maozi.  After retaking Manchuria, Zhang Xinghan did not continue the attack in a hurry. Instead, he began to order his troops to rush to repair and strengthen fortifications in Manzhouli, waiting for the Russian army to attack.  At the same time, on the eastern battlefield, reinforcements from the Northeast New Army Air Force and Jiamusi arrived.  The two regiments of Russian troops that crossed the river retreated hastily back to the east bank after suffering heavy losses.  However, soon the powerful artillery firepower of the Russian army began to bombard the defensive positions of the Aihui defenders of the Northeast New Army, and Air Force fighter planes also took off to assist in the battle.  However, they suffered a devastating blow from the fighter jets of the flying group led by Liu Cuigang. All six Russian aircraft that took off were destroyed and shot down.  When the news came back to Vladivostok, the current commander of the Far East Military District, Vasily Konstantinovich Bluukher, was shocked.  All attacks from the east and west failed?  "How can Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army be so powerful? Especially their air force and armored forces seem to be far stronger than our Red Army's troops." Bluher said to himself in fear.  "General, what should we do next? Should we stop the attack?" an adjutant asked.  "No, we must never give up on peace with China, but we must mobilize more tanks, aircraft and artillery to win. I will immediately send a message to the leader and ask for reinforcements." Bluher said immediately.  ……………………………Nanjing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek’s official residence.  Wang Shihe hurriedly walked into Chairman Chiang's study and saluted: "Commissioner, the matter has been clarified. The cause was a dispute between the two sides on the China Eastern Railway. When Wu Chengfeng, deputy commander of the 5th Division of the New Army, shot and killed one hundred people, he  Many Russians triggered this war with Russia. " "Who, Wu Chengfeng? Damn it, this guy is so good. In this way, Zhang Xinghan's strength will definitely be hit by the Soviet Union.  After hearing this, Chairman Jiang was not worried but said happily: "Zhang Xinghan has been in too much limelight these days. It's time to kill his spirit." "Commissioner, what should we do?" Wang Shihe asked tentatively.  .  "No need, just sit back and watch what happens." Chairman Chiang said without hesitation.  ……………………… Dalian Lushun, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Hashimoto Toranosuke rushed into Muto Nobuyoshi's office excitedly, and said to Muto Nobuyoshi excitedly: "Your Excellency, General, I just got the news that Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army has a military conflict with the Russians. Currently, the two sides have launched a military conflict in the border area.  "Nani? Is this serious?" Muto Xinyi couldn't believe his ears. Zhang Xinghan dared to start a war with Russia at this time?  "Reporting to Your Excellency, General, it is absolutely true." Hashimoto Toranosuke said, taking out a piece of information and handing it to Nobuyoshi Muto: "Your Excellency, General, please read this and you will understand the cause of this matter."  After reading it, he couldn't help but snorted: "Zhang Xinghan also wants to follow Zhang Xueliang's example and take back the China Eastern Railway? Does he really think that Russia is willing to give up? He is just dreaming."  Fight and take the opportunity to counterattack Northern Manchuria?" Hashimoto Toranosuke asked eagerly.  Unexpectedly, Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head and said: "No, the imperial army's local reinforcements have not yet arrived. Zhang Xinghan has deployed heavy troops in Tongliao and Siping. It is difficult to win if he attacks rashly." "But, general, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."  Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army is being restrained by the Russians. If we take the opportunity to attack, he will be attacked from both sides. This opportunity cannot be missed!" Hashimoto Toranosuke hurriedly advised.  "Hashimoto-kun, you are oversimplifying things. First of all, after the battles of Shenyang, Tongliao, Jehol and Northern Manchuria, our Kwantung Army's main divisions have almost been lost. At present, we are not enough to protect ourselves.  , How can we have the troops to counterattack Northern Manchuria? "So we have to wait for the opportunity," Muto Nobuyoshi said meaningfully.  "But, General, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again!" Hashimoto Toranosuke was a little reluctant.  "The opportunity will definitely come again. This time Zhang Xinghan has become enemies with Russia. No matter who wins this war, once we launch an attack on Northern Manchuria when the time is right, we can invite Russia to attack at the same time with us, attacking from both sides.  ” Muto Nobuyoshi explained  …………………Beiping, Marshal Zhang’s Mansion.  The adjutant Chen Dazhang came to Zhang Xueliang's office mysteriously and reported to him: "Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan led his Northeastern New Army to fight with the Russians in Manchuria and Heihe." "What? You said Zhang Xinghan and the Russians started a war.  ?" Zhang Xueliang was shocked.  "Yes, to be precise, Russia started a war with Zhang Xinghan." Chen Dazhang nodded.  Zhang Xueliang was startled at first, and then laughed proudly: "Haha, this idiot Zhang Xinghan went to start a war with the Russians. He thought the Russians were Japanese and so easy to offend? Humph, this bastard this time  Finally, I have to walk away without any food left!”

    Chen Dazhang lowered his head helplessly and smiled inadvertently.  In his heart, Marshal Zhang was really frightened by the Soviet Union. The shadow of the China Eastern Railway incident has not yet disappeared from his mind.  At the same time, Chen Dazhang couldn't help but sweat for Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army. The young marshal was right, the Soviet Union was not comparable to the Japanese.  They are connected to the northeastern land, and the Trans-Siberian Railway reaches directly to the Far East. It is more convenient to dispatch troops than Japan.  Moscow, Kremlin.  "Leader, Far Eastern Army Commander Vasily Konstantinovich Bluukher sent an urgent military intelligence report." An SDL guard reported to him respectfully.  "What's going on?" SDL's tone revealed a heart-stopping majesty "The Far East Army's offensive in the direction of Manchuria and Aihui suffered a failure, especially in the direction of Manzhouli. Our offensive troops were attacked by China's Northeastern New Army.  The siege by the powerful tank and armored forces caused extremely heavy losses. General Blyucher said in the report that the Northeast New Army has a huge number of tanks and armored vehicles, and its firepower, mobility and other capabilities are comprehensively superior to ours.  Tanks. General Blyucher requested that additional tanks, aircraft and artillery be sent to the Far East immediately, otherwise we will not be able to win this crusade," the guard reported.  "Order the General Staff Headquarters and the Logistics Department to immediately formulate assistance to the Far East Army. We must ensure the victory of this war to show the Chinese people the powerful force of our Sulian Red Army, thereby ensuring that our interests in the Far East region are not infringed upon."  ………………Manzhouli.  Accompanied by Li Zhenyuan, Wu Chengfeng and others, Zhang Xinghan arrived at the border line in armored vehicles and tanks. It was September, and when he looked through the telescope, he saw an endless sea of ??green.  "Commander, more than 70 kilometers north from here is Borgia." Li Zhenyuan pointed to Zhang Xinghan in the distance.  “Borja, Krasnoyarsk, and the Ulaanbaatar Prairie were once and now our Chinese territory.” Zhang Xinghan sighed as he faced the refreshing cool breeze.  "Commander, why don't we use our armored forces to push northward and go straight to Krasnoyarsk?" Wu Chengfeng, commander of Duli's 5th Division, said.  "No, the time is not yet ripe. We do not yet have the strength to start a full-scale war with Lao Maozi. Therefore, we can only defend instead of attack. As long as Lao Maozi takes the initiative to invade our land, then we will be in the Patriotic War. Politically, it is a war.  Just." Zhang Xinghan shook his head and objected.  In fact, he still has something to say, that is, once he leads his army to capture Krasnoyarsk, the biggest city in the Far East, the war situation between the two sides will immediately escalate to a terrifying level.  .  By then, the angry and humiliated Russia will most likely use all its national strength to attack the northeast. That is what Zhang Xinghan does not want to see at the moment.  As long as the new Northeastern Army does not cross the current boundary line, it can use fighting to promote peace and force Lao Maozi to sit at the negotiating table.  "Let's go back to Manzhouli." Zhang Xinghan put down the telescope, turned around and walked back.  Li Zhenyuan, Wu Chengfeng and others quickly followed, and soon they got into two armored vehicles. When the tanks and armored vehicles started to turn around one after another.  About hundreds of infantrymen who were on alert within a few miles around gathered up and returned to Manchuria in military trucks.  Riding in an armored vehicle along the China-Eastern Railway, Zhang Xinghan and his party returned to the vicinity of Manzhouli Railway Station.  Along the way, there were everywhere the new Northeast Army officers and soldiers who were digging and building defensive positions and thousands of strong Manchurian laborers.  It is midsummer, and the soil in Manzhouli is soft at this time. Compared with winter, when the ground is freezing and cold, it is much easier to dig fortifications.  Within a few days, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the Duli 5th Division and the Duli 8th Division built several defenses with the help of local people.  The next time is to strengthen and improve.  Returning to the temporary headquarters located in the center of Manzhouli City, an agent from the reconnaissance battalion directly under the headquarters quietly came to Zhang Xinghan's temporary residence.  "Commander, our army has stabilized the Aihui defense line on the eastern battlefield, and the Russian troops have retreated to the east bank of Heilongjiang." "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Tell the chief of staff to call the commanders of the divisions on the front line.  Don't be careless, Russia will never give up at this moment, and must be prepared for a war." "Yes!" The agent bowed his head and turned around to leave.  ????…While Zhang Xinghan led his troops to the border to fight against Russia, he had already moved outside the gate of the Zhang family residence in Gulin City.  A military Gup truck came flying over. The car had just stopped and he was wearing a flight suit.Zhang Xinghua jumped down from above and hurried towards the yard.  When Zhang Xinghua came to the inner courtyard, he saw his father Zhang Yuxi and his mother Liu Liping waiting anxiously in the yard with Zhang Xinghan's two thousand sons.  Father Zhang Yuxi kept pacing back and forth, taking a puff of the dry tobacco rod in his hand from time to time.  "Father, mother, Hanyun, how is she?" Zhang Xinghua asked hurriedly.  When they saw their son coming back, before the two elders had time to answer, they heard Su Hanyun's heart-rending shouts suddenly rang out in the room.  "Hanyun!" Zhang Xinghua was very anxious when he heard the voice and was about to open the door and enter the house.  Zhang Yuxi stopped him: "Don't go in. Your sister-in-law Zhou, your sister-in-law Ruoying and the midwife are all here. If you go in now, you will only cause trouble." It turns out that Su Hanyun has been pregnant for nine months, and when it is time to give birth, she will see redness in the morning.  There were no signs, but Zhang Xinghua was ordered to fly a fighter plane on duty. Not only did he return to the base and get off the fighter plane, he didn't even have time to change out of his flight suit, so he drove a Gup and rushed home.  Su Hanyun in the room made heart-wrenching cries of pain from time to time. Zhang Xinghua was extremely nervous. He had never smoked and took a cigarette stick from his father, but he choked after not taking two puffs.  Just when he was almost impatient with waiting, a loud cry of a child finally came from the house.  Soon, the door was pushed open. Wang Ruoying's forehead was dripping with sweat, and she said excitedly to Zhang Xinghua and Zhang Yuxi: "Xinghua, father, mother, sister-in-law, she gave birth to a big fat boy!" Zhang Yuxi and his wife heard this  Yan immediately beamed with joy, and Zhang Xinghua, despite his excitement, asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, is Hanyun okay?" "It's okay, mother and son are safe." Wang Ruoying said with a smile.  "Can I go in now?" Zhang Xinghua asked impatiently.  "Well, hurry in, Hanyun has worked hard." Wang Ruoying nodded with a smile and stepped aside to give way.  Zhang Xinghua quickly ran in.  …………………… Manzhouli, Duli 5th Division Commander Liu Guodong came to Zhang Xinghan’s residence excitedly, stood at attention and saluted and shouted: “Report.” “Guodong? Come in.” Liu Guodong walked in with a smile and said:  "Commander, I have good news for you." "What good news?" Zhang Xinghan disagreed.  "Your sister-in-law has given birth to a son. Mother and son are safe. I just received a happy message from Director Huang from Gulin." Liu Guodong said with a smile.  "Huh? Is it true or false?" Zhang Xinghan was delighted when he heard this.  "Of course it's true." "That's great. This way our old Zhang family can be considered rich." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said excitedly.  "By the way, your brother has a request in the message. He wants the commander to name his child." Liu Guodong added.  "Name?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Now that we are fighting fiercely with Lao Maozi at the border, let's call him Zhang Weiguo, with the courtesy name Junzhi." "Zhang Weiguo, Zhang Junzhi, hmm, good name."  Gulin City, Zhang Family Residence.  Zhang Xinghua held his newborn son in his arms and said to Su Hanyun who was lying on the bed during confinement: "Hanyun, our son has a name, Zhang Weiguo, Zhang Junzhi, haha, the name given by the eldest brother is not bad, right?" "Yes."  Su Hanyun looked at her father and son with a happy face and nodded lightly.  "By the way, I'm going back to the base later, and I may not be able to accompany you mother and son." Zhang Xinghua looked at Su Hanyun apologetically.  Although Su Hanyun was reluctant to give up, she still nodded and said: "It's okay. Now in this difficult time for the nation, you and your eldest brother are fighting for the country and the nation. I won't blame you, but you must promise to do well."  Come back safely. My son and I are waiting for you. " "Yes, I will." Zhang Xinghua nodded solemnly, looked at his son in his arms dotingly, placed him next to Su Hanyun, and gently kissed them.  He tapped his forehead and turned to leave.  ??…… Half a month later, Russia transferred three tank armored divisions and five artillery regiments through Siberia, as well as large amounts of logistics supplies and more than 100 combat aircraft and massive reinforcements.  After receiving these reinforcements, Russian commander Blucher immediately transferred five artillery regiments and more than 50 aircraft to Vladivostok.  Three tank divisions were sent to the direction of Manzhouli, and together with two Russian infantry divisions, two artillery regiments, and a cavalry division in Krasnokamensk, totaling more than 80,000 troops, they began to march toward Manzhouli again.  On the Eastern Front battlefield, after receiving reinforcements from five artillery regiments and more than fifty combat aircraft, Blucher assembled four infantry divisions from Vladivostok and other places.With an estimated income of more than 70,000, they also attacked Aihun again.  Lao Maozi's air force and artillery took the lead in attacking and launched rapid artillery and bombing attacks on the Duli 7th Division stationed in Aihun.  Wang Tiehan, commander of Duli's 7th Division, immediately called the Air Force for reinforcements. More than 20 BF109s from the flight group that had been stationed in Jiamusi took off and rushed to the Aihui front line to meet the enemy.  At the same time, Aihun’s 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade also fired back at the Russian artillery on the other side of the Heilongjiang River, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.  , so the air battle between the two sides lasted less than ten minutes over Heilongjiang.  The Soviet Air Force, whose fighter capabilities were seriously lagging behind the BF109, fled in a panic. Due to Zhang Xinghan's order, the Air Force was not allowed to enter the Soviet airspace for bombing without permission, so the flight group was unable to continue to expand its results.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 189: Tank Battle

    "Boomboomboom" A deafening huge explosion sounded, and balls of dazzling red light and black smoke intertwined and rose on the 7th Division position of the Aihun Army.  <－》 On the other side of the Heilongjiang River, about a thousand heavily armed Soviet soldiers took hundreds of small steamers and began a cross-river attack.  The Soviet army’s individual weapons are mainly Mosin-Nagang manual bolt-action rifles, and the machine guns are Maxim heavy machine guns and Deggarev light machine guns.  Of course, the Soviet Army’s Maxim is a modified version of the Soviet Maxim. In order to reduce logistical pressure, the Soviet Army’s Maxim heavy machine gun, their Mosin-Nagan rifle and Deggarev light machine gun are all of the same caliber.  However, with only the Maxim heavy machine gun and the Deggarev light machine gun, the Soviet machine gun troops could not truly provide strong fire support and cover for the offensive troops.  Leaving aside the effective range, their rate of fire and power alone are not as good as the mg34 general-purpose machine gun equipped by the Northeastern New Army.  In positional battles, the Northeastern New Army's general-purpose machine gun is a powerful heavy machine gun with a super high rate of fire.  Chapter 187 The Soviet dshk/dshkm large-caliber machine gun (12.7mm) is still in the experimental stage at this time, and it will not be mass-produced and equipped with Soviet troops on a large scale until 1933.  "However, the Soviet artillery caused a lot of trouble for the defense forces of the Northeast New Army.  Its artillery unit is equipped with 1910/30-type 122mm cannon field howitzers and 152mm heavy artillery.  In terms of artillery caliber, power, range and other performance, the 150mm German heavy artillery equipped by the Northeast New Army is not much different from it.  But the heavy artillery brigade of the Northeast New Army has just been formed.  In addition to some veterans as core members, many new recruits have not yet completed their training.  Therefore, it suffered a loss in the artillery battle with the Soviet army.  Since the Air Force was not allowed to carry out cross-border bombing raids without orders, the Soviet artillery fire was able to continue to show off its power, causing considerable casualties and trouble to the Northeast New Army defense forces.  Although the artillery suffered some losses, the confrontation between the infantry of the two sides ended in a complete defeat of the Soviet army. On the river more than a thousand meters wide, the Northeastern New Army used intensive crossfire to inflict heavy casualties on the Soviet offensive troops. Many of them suffered heavy casualties.  The small steamer has just reached the halfway point.  It was sunk.  Due to the lack of effective defenses on the small steamers, although some of the small steamers were not destroyed, the Soviet troops on them had already been wiped out by the dense machine gun and rifle firepower of the defenders.  ???……………………… Manzhouli, the Soviet army once again attacked in a large scale, the Northeast New Army scouts had already learned about it, and quickly reported it to the Manzhouli headquarters.  After Zhang Xinghan learned about it, he immediately ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the Armored Group Army to Chen Bing's border line.  Waiting for the arrival of the Soviet army.  As soon as Li Zhenyuan took the order and left, a communications soldier hurried in holding a message.  "Commander, the chief of staff is sending an urgent message from Harbin." The communications soldier saluted and reported.  Zhang Xinghan reached out to take the message and opened it: "Commander Junjian, the Soviet reinforcements have arrived and launched a fierce attack on our eastern border defense line. After the battle, it was found that the quality and scale of our army's artillery are lagging behind the enemy's, and the air force  They were also restricted from cross-border air strikes and bombings. In order to completely defeat the Soviet army, Baili believed that the eastern front should use the air force to penetrate deep into Vladivostok and destroy the Soviet artillery positions as much as possible to disrupt its offensive capabilities.  In the southwest direction of Manzhouli, we should immediately take advantage of our armored forces to maneuver deep into enemy territory to annihilate the enemy. If we are worried about intensifying the scale of the war, we can quickly return to our territory after completing the goal of annihilating the enemy. We must not passively defend and destroy the enemy.  The Soviet army is engaged in a war of attrition, and this battle with the Soviet army should only be fought quickly. Whether Baili's proposal is mature and feasible depends on the commander himself. "After reading the message, Jiang Baili said to himself happily.  Said: "The Chief of Staff is right. If we want to force the Soviet Union to negotiate an armistice, we can only deal a devastating blow to the enemy and let them see the power of our Northeastern New Army. I was too cautious before." He pondered,  Zhang Xinghan said to the communications corps: "Dian Dian, the main force of the flight group of our Northeast New Army will immediately take off to attack the enemy's Vladivostok, bridges, airports, and artillery positions to completely dismantle the enemy's offensive capabilities. In addition, another He111 medium bomber will be dispatched.  , the Zero fighter, penetrated deep into the enemy's mirror and bombed it&#x897f;The Chita-Ulan-Ude section of the Siberian Railway cuts off the enemy's logistics, supply and transportation.  Another telegram ordered the independent 9th Division stationed in Songyuan to advance towards Hulunbuir at a high speed.  "    "yes!  "The communications soldier quickly finished taking notes, saluted and turned to leave. After the deployment, Zhang Xinghan left Zhang Shixian's independent 8th Division to stay in Manzhouli, and personally led the entire independent 5th Division and all three tank armored divisions of the Armored Group Army to leave the border.  At the same time, the BF109 fighter group and the Stuka bomber group stationed in Jiamusi began to take off and fly to the Vladivostok area on the east coast of Heilongjiang Province. Adrian Alek is now 26 years old.  A sergeant squad leader of a heavy artillery regiment in the Soviet Far East Military Region. He and more than a dozen of his subordinates were in charge of a 152mm heavy artillery. Not long after the bombardment, Alec was sitting not far from the heavy artillery bunker, smoking.  His subordinates were loading the heavy artillery and doing some usual operations. Suddenly, there was some vague roar in the sky in the distance. Alec stood up vigilantly and started to observe through the gun scope.  He saw a scene that shocked him greatly. With the help of the gun scope, Alec could even see dozens of planes flying towards them, covering the sky.  The blue sky and white sun emblem on the wings and belly “Oh, my God, it’s not good.  The Chinese plane is coming, escape quickly, quickly!  "Alec immediately left the gun scope and roared at the top of his lungs. The next moment, Alec and his men ran towards the air defense fortifications in panic. Other Soviet artillerymen were soon alerted. However, the speed of the plane was extremely fast.  In the absence of early warning, after the bombed party discovered it with only their eyes and ears, it was too late to escape. Before Alec and his comrades could hide in the air defense fortifications, about forty BF109 and Stuka bombers arrived.  Howling and flying.nbsp; After a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, heavy aerial bombs fell in free fall from the bomb bay of the Stuka dive bomber.  Because it is a low-altitude dive, the Stuka bomber's bomb delivery is very accurate.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded one after another, and the 152mm heavy artillery and 122mm cannon field howitzers half hidden in the bunkers were wrapped in huge flames.  In the light of the fire, artillery parts weighing thousands of tons were scattered in all directions.  Hot shrapnel and artillery parts shot out, immediately covering Alec and his men who had not run far.  A piece of steel the size of an ocean penetrated Alec's back and came out of his chest. Alec's running body suddenly froze. He lowered his head and looked at his bleeding chest. Alec could clearly feel the strength and consciousness.  It is rapidly leaving its body.  Soon, he fell forward uncontrollably and died.  “Click, click, click…” Zhang Xinghua piloted a BF109 fighter plane and began a fierce dive and strafing along the Soviet artillery position.  A 30mmmg108 machine gun and two 13mmmg131 heading machine guns opened fire immediately.  The dense rain of hot bullets suddenly formed three tongues of gunpowder smoke and hit the Soviet artillerymen on the ground who were fleeing hastily.  Wherever they went, the soil was splashed with smoke and dust, and the Soviet troops who could not hide were immediately hit by a powerful and dense rain of bullets. Many people were directly blown to pieces by machine guns.  What’s worse, they were cut off at the waist by 13mm heading machine gun rounds, or their heads were blown open like watermelons.  The air raid lasted for about ten minutes, and the entire Soviet heavy artillery position was already a sea of ??fire.  At this time, about twenty or thirty Soviet fighter planes had already taken off to intercept. However, the aircraft equipped by the Soviet army at this time were extremely backward. Most of them were backward I-3 fighters. Compared with the BF109, all aspects of performance lagged behind by an entire era.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghua and other pilots flew the bf109 fighter jets to fight with ease. After less than 20 minutes of fighting, they easily defeated all the incoming Soviet fighter jets without any surprise.; partially shot down.  In the end, Zhang Xinghua and the others covered the bomber group and air raided Vladivostok’s bridges, airports and other strategic locations.  Several BF109 fighter planes flew over Vladivostok and strafed the city of Vladivostok.  The air force had no power to fight, and it lost air superiority in less than a day. Soviet commander Blucher was extremely anxious. While transferring his headquarters from the ground to an underground bunker, he continued to request Moscow for additional air forces.  support.  ?Bluher never expected that his own air force would be so different from the Northeast New Army's air force, and he had already begun to think of a truce.  Towards evening, with the help of our own air force, Zhang Xinghan led three tank divisions and one motorized infantry division to collide head-on with the Soviet army that had just arrived from the direction of Borgia about fifty kilometers away from Manzhouli.  The Soviet army has three tank and armor divisions, one cavalry division, and two infantry divisions, with a strength of nearly 90,000 people.  The total strength of the Northeastern New Army led by Zhang Xinghan is about 60,000. The Soviet army has an advantage in strength. However, the Northeastern New Army has an absolute advantage in the firepower of tanks, armored vehicles and infantry divisions on both sides.  The two sides immediately started a fierce battle with tanks and armored vehicles, followed by infantry and cavalry, and the war broke out immediately.  This is the largest battle of tanks and armored vehicles in human history since the beginning of the tank battle, with more than 2,000 tanks and armored vehicles participating in the battle.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 190: Negotiations between the Two Sides

    Each of the three Soviet tank divisions has about 260 tanks and armored vehicles, and the three divisions have a total of more than 800 tanks.  <-> Zhang Xinghan's three tank divisions each have 200 Panzer IV tanks and 100 armored vehicles, which is more than 100 more than the Soviet army.  The tank troops of both sides took the lead in exchanging fire. After entering within a thousand meters, the tank guns of both sides opened fire one after another.  "Boomboomboom" Armor-piercing bullets roared out from the barrel, flying towards the enemy with dazzling flames.  In just the first round of exchange of fire, the differences between the tanks of the two sides were revealed. Hundreds of Panzer IV tanks easily destroyed more than 20 Soviet tanks in the first salvo.  "The shells fired by the Soviet tanks could not penetrate the defensive armor of the Northeast New Army tanks.  Even though they have transferred the latest domestically produced T-26 tanks this time, compared with the No. 4 tanks equipped by the Northeastern New Army, this tank is completely different in terms of gun caliber, speed or thickness of defensive armor.  On the grade.  So this kind of tank battle is almost a one-sided massacre.  The Soviet cavalry division tried to attack the infantry in the rear of the Northeast Army in a roundabout way, but was driven away by the infantry commanded by Wu Chengfeng and Liu Guodong with fierce machine gun fire.  Nearly two thousand tanks from both sides were fighting together. The sound of artillery was loud on the entire battlefield. From time to time, Soviet tanks were destroyed by artillery shells and exploded, turning into a pile of scrap metal.  This kind of tank melee, which the infantry could hardly intervene in, lasted from early evening until nine o'clock at night.  Soviet tanks and armored vehicles lost two-thirds.  Finally, unable to bear the huge losses, they began to retreat hastily.  Li Zhenyuan commanded the Armored Group Army to pursue the situation.  The Soviet tank troops were completely defeated, and the two infantry divisions were forced to retreat.  Li Zhenyuan led his troops and destroyed a considerable number of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles along the way. His two infantry divisions were even beaten to pieces and fled in all directions.  After chasing for nearly a hundred miles, the remnants of the Soviet army retreated into the city of Borja. Zhang Xinghan ordered the armored troops to surround Borja.  Then he commanded the 5th Division of the ** to arrive, just as Borja was preparing to launch an attack.  The remaining Soviet troops in the city raised white flags.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to rest for one night in Borja, and set out from Borja early the next morning, marching along the railway line towards Krasno. Two days later, they surrounded the city of Krasno.  More than 90,000 Soviet troops were wiped out overnight, and Krasno, the largest city in the Far East, was besieged.  For a time, the entire Soviet Union was shaken.  At the same time, the Northeast New Army Air Force frequently attacked and bombed and destroyed the Russian Far East Railway.  Three days after the siege, Zhang Xinghan issued a telegram to Su and led his troops to withdraw to Manzhouli.  The Soviet army lost nearly 700 tanks and nearly 100,000 troops in Manchuria.  The Eastern Front battlefield lost its offensive capabilities due to the continuous air raids and bombings of the Northeastern New Army.  They had no choice but to accept Zhang Xinghan’s telegraph statement and agreed to send representatives to Harbin to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with the Northeastern New Army.  This battle, locally speaking, was originally an asymmetric battle. The Soviet army had not yet experienced the baptism of World War II.  Not only are the personnel poorly trained, they also lack combat experience.  Its technological weapons such as tanks and aircraft are a mess.  It is estimated that in Asia, Japan is the only country that bullies and bullies Japan, which is also in a mess.  This is also based on the premise that the Soviet T-28 tank and I-5 and other aircraft have successfully produced equipment.  Comparing Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern New Army, it is not surprising that the Soviet army suffered such a defeat. ??????????????? Take tanks and aircraft as examples. Among other things, the Northeast New Army’s main battle tank, the Panzer IV, shone throughout World War II, sweeping across most of Europe.  Dealing with the Soviet T-26, which is not much better than the Japanese Type 89 medium tanks, is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.  In terms of aircraft, both the Zero and the BF109 fighter jets were the most advanced aircraft in the early stages of World War II.  Zero fighter in Taiping&#x6218In the early days of the war, it even dominated the skies over the entire Pacific Ocean, defeating the U.S. Navy and Air Force one after another.  The speed and turning radius of the Soviet I-3, an outdated biplane fighter, are less than half that of the BF109 and Zero, and their firepower is even more incomparable.  Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Northeast New Army not to win.  The huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides makes up for the lack of training of new army recruits.  After Zhang Xinghan led his troops back to Manchuria, he left the 7th Independent Division to garrison, and personally led the armored troops and the 5th Independent Division back to Qiqihar.  Qiqihar, the temporary headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  Shen Xingye walked in in a suit and saluted Zhang Xinghan who was processing documents: "Commander, the Russian negotiators will arrive in Harbin tomorrow morning. Governor Zang has already arrived in Harbin to meet the chief of staff." "Yes."  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Tell the chief of staff that the lowest bottom line for negotiations is that the sections of the Eastern Railway in the three eastern provinces must be recovered, and all unequal contracts signed between the original Qing government and Tsarist Russia will be invalidated." "If the Soviets do not agree,  What?" Shen Xingye asked.  After a pause, Zhang Xinghan said firmly: "If the Soviets don't agree, then we don't mind encircling Krasno. We are more likely to cross Heilongjiang eastward and take back China's inherent territories such as Vladivostok." After this battle with the Soviet army, the Soviet Union  The army's performance was beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectations, so he was more confident than before the war started.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye stood up and responded, turned around and left.  ???……………………???At noon the next day, in a conference room of a hotel in Harbin.  A Soviet representative in a suit slammed the table angrily and stood up: "No, this is absolutely impossible. You have gone too far. We, the Soviet Union, will never give up ownership of the China Eastern Railway in the North Manchuria area." Zang Shiyi said nothing and looked at it.  Jiang Baili was sitting next to him.  Jiang Baili slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm and indifferent and said: "If your country does not agree?, then our new Northeastern Army would not mind encircling Krasno.  Not to mention crossing Heilongjiang eastward and sending troops to Vladivostok.  " "You" The Soviet representative was exhausted. His face turned red from holding it in, and he pointed at Jiang Baili who finally failed to say anything. He could not win the battle and had no confidence. In the end, another Soviet representative pulled.  The companion said: "Can you give us one day to think about it?  " Jiang Baili nodded: "Of course.  "……………………Moscow, Kremlin. After listening to the report from our negotiators that Beria received from secret channels, sdl said with a gloomy and terrifying face: "Then go to war. We Soviets will never  surrendered to the Chinese.  Not to mention just a Northeastern local warlord.  " "Dear leader, I understand your current mood very well, but the battle between Manzhouli and Aihui has proved that the performance of our technical weapons, such as tanks and aircraft, has seriously fallen behind, and we urgently need to develop more advanced technical equipment.  Otherwise, if we start a war with the Northeastern New Army at all costs, even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses.  At this time, the British have severed diplomatic relations with us. The situation in Europe is complicated, and our main strength must be used to deal with sudden changes that may break out in Europe at any time.  The Finns are very dishonest now, and the section of the Chita-Ulan-Ude section of our Trans-Siberian Railway leading to the Far East has been severely damaged by the Northeast Air Force.  Restoration cannot be accomplished overnight.  After all, there is still a threat from the Northeast Air Force in the air, and winter is about to begin, and the cold weather makes repairs more difficult.  "Beria advised as if walking on thin ice. Although sdl was angry in his heart, he was not a confused person. He knew that what Beria stated were facts. After pondering for a long time, sdl finally said: "Then let Northeast  The authorities will compensate us for all costs incurred in building the railway, including the economic losses suffered by employees at our railway stations.  Compensation must be given or we will go to war at all costs.  "    "yes!  "Beria lowered his head and responded, cautiously"#36864;Go out.  ??………………… Harbin, negotiations have begun again.  The Soviet representatives followed their leader’s instructions and put forward all their demands in one go.  "We can give up the use and ownership of the northeastern section of the China Eastern Railway, but you need to pay us for the cost of building the railway and the economic losses of more than 3,000 employees of the railway, totaling two million silver dollars." "The China Eastern Railway is originally  It was built with cheap labor from our Northeast region and various materials and equipment along the way. You have been operating profitably for more than 30 years and have already made a lot of money. Now you still want compensation?" Jiang Baili said angrily.  The Soviet representative snorted coldly: "If you don't agree, then we will not hesitate to go to war to defend our railway sovereignty." "Humph, what a joke. The railways in our country need you to defend our sovereignty?" "  You just need to say whether you agree or not!" "Are you threatening me?" Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides, Zang Shiyi quickly smiled and said, "Don't get excited, we can't make the decision. We have to report it.  Only Commander-in-Chief Zhang of our Northeastern New Army can give you an answer." After saying that, Zang Shiyi winked at Jiang Baili.  The two Soviet negotiators also looked at each other, and finally said: "Okay, we are waiting for your reply from Commander-in-Chief Zhang." "Well, please wait a moment." Zang Shiyi nodded with a smile, and followed Jiang Baili, who stood up, out of the negotiation room.  .  "Chief of Staff Chiang, don't be angry yet. We'd better report this matter to Commander-in-Chief Zhang and ask him to make a decision." Zang Shiyi said.  Jiang Baili did not speak, but nodded solemnly.  ps: There was a funeral in the village where a relative passed away. I went to help at noon. In the afternoon, I accompanied my father to the hospital for a minor operation. I had acne on my back and had surgery. I came back late in the afternoon. I hurriedly coded the second update.  .  Today I must work hard to code words, more &#23569;More, thank you for your monthly votes and rewards support. There are really a lot of things going on these days. A close relative has been suffering from gallbladder cancer for more than a year and is now on his deathbed.  I tell you this is not to complain or play the sad card, but to explain the reason why the update has slowed down. If there is nothing wrong, I can't slow down for no reason. After all, I have been working hard for more than 20 days and I will never lose at the last moment.  .  If nothing happens tomorrow, I will try my best to code and update how many chapters. Everyone will know after I write it out. I hope I can give you a surprise.  Finally, I appeal for monthly votes to continue to support and give me motivation!  !  !  !  !  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 191: Diplomacy

    Qiqihar, military airport.  <－》 Zhang Xinghan was planning to take a flight back to Jilin. After all, he had not seen his nephew since he was born, so he had to take a flight back quickly.  As soon as we arrived at the airport by car and before boarding the plane, a division communications soldier from the 5th Army Division rushed up on a motorcycle.  Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng looked at each other as they were seeing off. Wu Chengfeng walked towards the communications soldier who was stopped not far away by the guards.  "What's going on?" "Deputy, the Chief of General Staff sent an urgent message from Harbin." The communications soldier saluted.  Wu Chengfeng took the message and nodded, "Okay, I'll give it to the commander. You wait here." After saying that, Wu Chengfeng took the message and turned around and walked towards Zhang Xinghan.  "Commander, this is an urgent message from the Chief of Staff from Harbin." Wu Chengfeng handed it to Zhang Xinghan without looking at it.  Zhang Xinghan took the message, opened it and read it, frowning. After a long time, he said to Wu Chengfeng: "Tell the chief of staff to agree to the Soviet Union's request." "Commander, what do you want me to do?" Wu Chengfeng and Liu Guodong looked at each other.  Zhang Xinghan directly handed the message to the two of them. They read it again. Liu Guodong said angrily: "Commander, we won the war, why do we have to pay them two million oceans in compensation? This is our China's  Territory. " "Yeah, the worst we can do is fight with Lao Maozi again. In my opinion, Lao Maozi is not much better than Little Japan, not even as good as Little Japan. At least the Japanese rarely surrender on a large scale. "  Wu Chengfeng was also extremely puzzled.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and said to the two of them: "Don't be impatient for a moment. It's really not the time for us to fight Lao Maozi again, let alone a large-scale decisive battle with them. We just need time to rest and train until we recover.  Southern Manchuria, after we own the entire Northeast, we will no longer have to worry about anyone." "Then we are willing to pay two million dollars?" Wu Chengfeng was still unwilling.  "First promise Lao Maozi, and then just say, procrastinate. How can raising funds happen overnight? When Lao Maozi came to ask for money, he just procrastinated. Anyway, the rice has become cooking. The wood has become a boat. The money is in our hands. We are one  If you really say no, what else can they do to grab it? This is drag-down diplomacy, where you don’t lose face, don’t compromise, and don’t take money.” Zhang Xinghan said.  "Will Lao Maozi start a war again?" Liu Guodong asked worriedly.  "Don't be afraid. We'll start a war when I can't stand it any longer. We've been delaying it for a few months at least. By then it's time for South Manchuria to be recovered. Then, let's fight if we continue." Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  ????…………… After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s clear instructions, Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi both smiled knowingly and immediately entered the negotiation style.     this time.  Jiang Baili agreed readily, which surprised the two Soviet representatives.  After they looked at each other, one of them said: "Then when will the thousands of officers and soldiers who were captured by your army in Manchuria be released?" Jiang Baili's mood improved and he said with a smile: "This is easy to say. As long as you give us the right to use the railway  After the authorities at all levels are handed over and evacuated, we will release people in Manchuria. Then you can send people to Manzhouli to receive them. "When will the money be delivered?" another Soviet representative said.  Jiang Baili said sincerely: "Two representatives, it's not like you don't know that these two million oceans are not two thousand yuan. They can't be taken out of thin air. After all, we have just recovered Northern Manchuria."  , all the cities have been looted by the Japanese, we have to find a way to raise money. Besides, money is nothing, the safety of your employees is the most important thing, don’t you think so?” “No, no,  Money and people are equally important," the Soviet Army representative shook his head.  "Okay, even if you old Mao, no, even if you Soviet people value money more than people, then we have to be allowed time to raise money, right?" Jiang Baili said.  “How long will it take for you to complete the fundraising?” the Soviet Army representative asked.  Jiang Baili deliberately pondered for a while and stretched out his handThree fingers.  "Three days?" the Soviet army representative asked uncertainly.  Jiang Baili shook his head repeatedly.  "Thirty days?" the Soviet representative gritted his teeth.  "No, no, it's three months. This amount of money cannot be raised in a short time, especially if it's a huge sum of two million." Jiang Baili said.  The two Soviet representatives were angry and annoyed, but after losing the battle, they no longer had the confidence to get angry on the spot. After all, the leader's instructions to them only required the other party to pay compensation.  Now that the other party has agreed, it is just a matter of delivery time. There is no need for them to take the risk of falling out with the other party without authorization.  He had no choice but to suppress his anger, shook his head and said, "No, three months is too long." "Then two months, any shorter than that and we can't deliver it all at once." Jiang Baili reluctantly said.  The two Soviet representatives whispered in Russian, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, it will only be two months. Then we can sign an armistice agreement, right?" "Of course." Jiang Baili nodded happily.  When it was Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi's turn to sign, Jiang Baili deliberately wrote his name as Jiang Fangzhen, and he wrote it in an extremely sloppy font.  Zang Shiyi was also kicked under the table by Jiang Baili, who understood and wrote Zang Shiyi as Tibetan Yi.  After reading it, the two Soviet army representatives frowned, obviously not complimenting the calligraphy of Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi.  They were far from knowledgeable about Chinese characters and could not tell the difference between Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Baili. They only recognized that the first character was Jiang.  As for Zang Shiyi and Zang Shiyi, they are even less aware of the tricks inside.  …………………………… Jilin City, Gudianzi Military Airport.  A bomber, escorted by two Zero fighter jets, landed smoothly on the runway of Gudianzi Military Airport.  When the bomber successfully entered the apron, the cabin door opened, and Zhang Xinghan walked out of it accompanied by Guo Zhong&#12290; Huang Xiansheng, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, immediately greeted him with a smile.  "Commander, you have worked hard all the way!" Huang Xiansheng stood up and saluted, "It's not hard, brother Jingzhong, I plan to go home first, and you can go back to the headquarters later." Zhang Xinghan smiled and saluted.  "Well, okay, I've prepared the car for you." Getting in the car, Zhang Xinghan quickly arrived at the door of his house under the escort of a group of guards.  Neither father nor mother knew they were coming. When the two guards guarding the door saw Zhang Xinghan coming out of the car, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Commander!" Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked towards the yard.  In October in the Northeast, the weather has gradually become colder.  There was no one else in the yard except the two brothers, Tuesday Tiger and Sanhu, who were playing.  When the two brothers saw Zhang Xinghan walking in, they were startled at first, and then ran over exclaiming: "Godfather!" The two little guys had grown a lot taller, and they hugged Zhang Xinghan on the left and right.  "Hey!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the heads of the two little guys and said, "Erhu, Sanhu, do you want to be a godfather?" "I do." The two brothers replied in unison.  At this time, Wang Ruoying had opened the door and walked out, looking at Zhang Xinghan with joy.  "You're back?" "Well, you're back. Where is Weiguo?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "It's in the house, come in and have a look." Wang Ruoying happily said without thinking.  Zhang Xinghan pulled the two little guys and walked towards the house. He saw Su Hanyun breastfeeding the child. Zhang Xinghan blushed, smiled awkwardly and turned away.  Father and mother also walked in after a while, probably hearing the voices of Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying.  "Xinghan is back." Zhang Yuxi's eyes were filled with sincere joy.  "Well, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "I'll come back to see Weiguo and I'll be leaving soon."90;” “Why are you leaving in such a hurry?  Have a meal at home before leaving.  "Mother Liu Liping said. "I have some military matters to deal with with Commander Huang later, and I will come back in the evening.  Zhang Xinghan said. At this time, Su Hanyun had finished feeding the child, picked him up, and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Brother, look at Weiguo."  " Zhang Xinghan quickly turned around and carefully took the child into his hands. He saw the little guy's two big eyes and his chubby face that was extremely cute. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but when he saw Zhang Xinghan, he actually opened his mouth and smiled. "Okay.  My child, you still know how to smile when you see your uncle.  "Zhang Xinghan said happily. Half an hour later, Guo Zhong and the guard were driving in front. Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying were walking slowly side by side. Wang Ruoying held Zhang Xinghan's left hand tightly with both hands. "Okay, if  Ying, it's cold outside, please go back.  "Zhang Xinghan stopped and said. "Wang Ruoying looked up at Zhang Xinghan with some reluctance, and muttered: "I just came back and left. I can't bear to leave."  " "Haha, I'll be back in the evening after I finish my work.  "Zhang Xinghan smiled and pinched her rosy cheeks. "Then you have to keep your word. You must be back at night.  "Wang Ruoying was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Xinghua and Hanyun both have children, it's time for us to have our own children" After saying that, her pretty face was completely covered by the red clouds. "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded, kissed her gently on the forehead, then turned and left. "The Northeast New Army Headquarters. "The Japanese haven't done much recently."  "Zhang Xinghan asked while smoking. "No, the 2nd Division and 3rd Division are always on alert. The Japanese troops in Shenyang, Xinmin and other places have rarely left the city recently, and there has been no movement at all.  " Huang Xiansheng said. "It seems that the Japanese are accumulating strength and waiting for the opportunity.  "Zhang Xinghan said, and suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the emergency repair of the Dongliao River Railway Bridge?  ”&nbsp; "It's almost completed." Huang Xiansheng replied.  “After completion, more manpower must be deployed to prevent further accidents. In addition, a group of air defense forces must be mobilized and deployed near the bridge to prevent sudden Japanese air raids and bombings.” Zhang Xinghan said.  (To be continued.

    After giving Huang Xiansheng some instructions, Zhang Xinghan returned home by car.  <－》 After having a meal with his family, Zhang Xinghan took his wife Wang Ruoying back to his home by car.  Usually when she is not at home, Wang Ruoying usually goes to her parents' house to stay with Su Hanyun and help take care of the children.  However, as it was a cozy little home for her and Zhang Xinghan, she still did not forget to go home every now and then to clean it up.  After the two returned home in the car, as the saying goes, a little separation is better than a wedding, and they immediately became inseparable.  For more than a month, Zhang Xinghan has not been sexually attracted to women, and he has been holding it in for a long time.  At this moment, both of them were burning with desire. With Wang Ruoying's cooperation, Zhang Xinghan peeled off her clothes one by one with rapid breathing.  Finally, he put Wang Ruoying down, raised her snow-white slender legs, and entered her body.  Wang Ruoying felt as if she was being stabbed by electricity. An electric-like numbness spread throughout her delicate body, causing her to let out a seductive moan uncontrollably.  Her snow-white body was hot, and the red glow spread all the way to her neck.  “About an hour later, Zhang Xinghan put his arms around Wang Ruoying’s waist and let out a deep roar, and his body couldn’t help but twitch.  Wang Ruoying also reached the peak again, and her delicate body, dripping with sweat, couldn't help but tremble violently.  It turned out that her hands were supporting her on the table, her whole body was sore, and she lay directly on the table.  At this moment, both of them were released happily.  Zhang Xinghan’s strong body gave her absolute physical and mental satisfaction, sending her to the top of the clouds several times. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? After **.  Zhang Xinghan walked into their bedroom holding a soft ball of Wang Ruoying, and fell into a sweet sleep.  ???…………………Two months later.  Harbin, the location for negotiations between representatives of the Northeastern New Army and the Soviet Army.  Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the 2nd Division of the Northeast New Army, and Wang Tiehan, commander of the 7th Division of the ** Army stationed in Heihe, represented the Northeast New Army Headquarters and participated in this meeting with Soviet representatives.  As soon as the two sides met, the Soviet representative couldn't wait to ask: "Hello, two months have passed. When will you be able to release our captives and pay two million oceans in compensation?" Zhao Zhenfan  Looking at each other with Wang Tiehan, Zhao Zhenfan said: "Prisoners of war can be released at any time. But what about the two million compensation you mentioned?" The Soviet representative was startled, and then angrily took out two documents from the document bag.  He handed it to Wang Tiehan and Zhao Zhenfan and said: "Look, this is the armistice agreement we signed with your representatives two months ago. The agreement clearly states in black and white that you will unconditionally release our captured personnel.  And handed us two million silver dollars in compensation." Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Tiehan looked at it.  After a long while, he raised his head and frowned and said, "That's not right, your agreement was not signed by our people." "What's wrong?" the Soviet representative asked in confusion.  "Our Northeast New Army has not found the person who signed the agreement with you." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "What??" The Soviet representative was extremely shocked. He took the agreement and pointed at the signature at the signature: "Isn't this the autograph of your representative?" "On behalf of your Excellency, can you read out the signatures of these two agreements?"  What's your name?" Zhao Zhenfan asked, holding back his smile.  The representative of the Soviet Army muttered a bit awkwardly: "Zang Shiyi. In October of the 21st year of the Republic of China" "This is not Zang Shiyi, this is Tibetan Shiyi. On behalf of your Excellency, there seems to be something wrong with your Chinese. Our diplomatic and political personnel are  There is one named Zang Shiyi. But the agreement they signed with you is not like this. We have a copy here.p; It is written clearly above.  You hand over the ownership of the China Eastern Railway, and we release the prisoners of war unconditionally, without any compensation.  "Zhao Zhenfan took out two contracts seriously. "What?  "The Soviet representative grabbed the document, read it hastily, shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, this is impossible, our agreement is not like this.  " "Your Excellency, it has your signatures on it. You can tell if it is true or false at a glance.  "Wang Tiehan said. The Soviet representatives quickly looked at the signature, and it turned out to be their autographs. Now they were dumbfounded and completely stunned. After a while, one of them picked up the agreement they brought and said: "  No, your copy must be a forgery, ours is the real one. The Tibetan Yi may be a clerical error, but this signature should be correct. As far as I know, your chief of staff’s surname is Jiang, and this signature is the first.  One is Jiang, who is absolutely unmistakable.  " Zhao Zhenfan stood up, stretched out his head and looked at it, and said: "It's the character Jiang, but our chief of staff is called Jiang Baili. What's written on it is Jiang Fangzhen, not the name of our chief of staff.  "    "ah?  The Soviet representative was stunned again, and then said angrily: "No, you are quibbling!"  " "Your Excellency, you can't say that. China has a vast territory and a population of 40 million. It's normal for people to have the same surname. For example, the Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in our Nanjing government, doesn't he also have the surname Chiang?  So, even if you want to forge an armistice agreement, you should learn Chinese well.  "Zhao Zhenfan said with great certainty. "You know, Zang and Zang are two completely different words.  "Wang Tiehan also said on the side. The two Soviet representatives were angry and annoyed. They shouted: "You Chinese are too cunning. I want to talk to your chief of staff and another representative who negotiated with us two months ago.  When we meet, we confront each other.  " "Your Excellency, I am very sorry, our chief of staff is going to Nanjing&#x8ff0;I'm afraid you won't be able to see him in the short term. As for the representative named Zang, we have already sent him to the Nanjing Military Court because he committed the crime of embezzling military funds, so you will not be able to see him again.  " Zhao Zhenfan said. "Humph, you are acting rogue. If you don't fulfill all the contents of the agreement, we will not hesitate to fight.  "The Soviet representative spoke harshly. Wang Tiehan clapped his hands on the table and stood up, saying in a fierce voice: "Let the war begin. If our Northeastern New Army can defeat you once, we can defeat you a second time or a third time. However,  This time my Heihe Independent 7th Division is not just about defense.  " Zhao Zhenfan, one of whom was a red face, and the other a bad face, quickly grabbed Wang Tiehan and said with a smile: "I tell you two, whether it is politics, diplomacy, or trivial matters, everything must be explained to you.  Say yes?  "The two Soviet representatives nodded reluctantly. Zhao Zhenfan struck while the iron was hot: "First of all, our signature on your agreement is not worthy of the name. In terms of international law, it cannot be counted, and our agreement has two signatures.  ’s autograph, both of you acknowledged it just now, so our agreement is genuine, and yours may have really been tampered with.  " "Impossible, we have never signed such an agreement with you.  "The Soviet representative almost went crazy and roared. "Then do you think these are the names and handwriting of the two of you?  "Zhao Zhenfan asked, pointing to the two very long Russian names on the agreement. The two old men were also simply terrible. They really couldn't figure out why their signatures would appear on such an agreement.  He nodded subconsciously and then shook his head, but it was too late. Zhao Zhenfan slapped the table and said: "Since you two have admitted again that this is your handwriting, it proves that we did not fake it at all.  A contract is truly effective.  " "No&#65292;No, your contract is invalid.  "The Soviet representative refused to compromise. "Then there is no need to talk. You Soviets are not trustworthy. Even if there is a war, we will inform the whole world about the ins and outs of this matter, so that all countries in the world can look at you Soviets.  What kind of face do you have? Let’s see who dares to ally with you in the future and who dares to believe you.  "Wang Tiehan said coldly. The two Soviet representatives were angry and angry. They discussed in whispers for a while and said: "Then please release our prisoners of war first so that they can go home and reunite with their relatives.  "    "Can.  "Zhao Zhenfan readily agreed. "The compensation for the China Eastern Railway.  Another Soviet representative said: "You must give an explanation."  " "This is a must. When I return to Jilin, I will report to our commander-in-chief and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.  "Zhao Zhenfan said righteously. The two old men nodded helplessly, stood up and left one after another. ……………………………… Jilin, the New Army Headquarters. Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and  Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others laughed heartily. "Hahaha Guoping just sent an urgent call from Harbin, and Lao Maozi is probably going crazy.  "Huang Xiansheng held the message and laughed. "This time I suffered a hidden loss. We have to be careful in the future. I don't think they will let it go so easily.  "Zang Shiyi reminded. "As I said before, let's put it off first. The longer it is put off, the better it will be for us.  After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he asked: "By the way, Chief of Staff, how has the training of the troops been in the past two months?"  " "After the baptism of the last actual combat and the two months of training, the combat effectiveness of the unit has been greatly improved compared to before, especially the artillery unit and the recruits who have just joined the army, which have made great progress than before.  "Jiang Baili said. "The Dongliao River Railway Bridge has also been repaired and opened to traffic. Our troops can be transported to the Siping front line in a very short time along the North Manchuria Railway, or from Jilin16; Arrive at Manzhouli and Suifenhe border.  "Zang Shiyi added. "The police force has also undergone major changes, and its mental outlook is completely new.  "Huang Xiansheng also said. "That's good. In three months at most, our recruits will be able to complete basic training. At that time, we can concentrate our forces and recover the Southern Manchuria area first before making any plans.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction. PS: Please give me a monthly vote!!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 193: Marching into Southern Manchuria

    "What the commander said is true, but I think we should still have three to five months. After all, it has entered winter. Whether it is the Japanese or the Soviets, they will be unable to fight new battles in the short term. <-" "  The Northeast or Siberia in the coldest month of winter is not a good time to start a war," Jiang Baili said.  "Well, I also think that the use of troops against Southern Manchuria can wait until the spring of next year." Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement.  "If you all think this way, then Little Japan should be no exception, right?" Zhang Xinghan said with a pointed smile.  Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others looked at each other, and suddenly said in realization: "The commander is wise!" Zhang Xinghan raised his head and smiled and said: "Soldiers are tricky. It is more difficult to gather troops, transport supplies and march troops in winter, but it is true.  These factors also made the enemy unprepared, and we took advantage of the situation to attack and catch the enemy by surprise. "What's more, we are waiting for half a year, which is certainly beneficial to our troop training and other aspects, but after half a year, Japan will.  The people will also complete their nationwide mobilization and continuously transport an astonishing number of new troops to the Liaodong Peninsula. If we want to regain southern Manchuria, we will have to fight the entire Japanese nation, which will be much more difficult than it is now. "  Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng nodded in agreement after listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis.  Immediately, Jiang Baili said: "Commander, then we can prepare in advance for going south now." "Well, secretly mobilize all available forces to mobilize the military supplies needed for the southward move to Siping, Changchun and Tongliao. It must be within three months.  We must mobilize enough weapons, ammunition, and food supplies for the 150,000-strong army to fight for half a year. This time we will completely regain the southern Manchu area and drive the Japanese off the Liaodong Peninsula. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, and Zang Shiyi responded in unison.  Tao, immediately took the order and left.  In the days that followed, the entire North Manchuria area was secretly busy. Large quantities of food, clothing, and civilian laborers serving as transportation and logistics personnel took trains, and cars were transferred southward in batches to Siping, Changchun, and Tongliao front lines.  Except for this.  Ten ** motorized infantry divisions are also stepping up training. Zhang Xinghan took advantage of the situation to expand the flying regiment into the Northeast New Army Land-based Flying Division.  Use the watch to add two hundred military aircraft to the pilot division, including fifty Zero fighters, fifty Stuka dive bombers, fifty American C-47 large military transport aircraft, fifty He111 medium bombers, and five  Ten bf109 fighter planes.     It is worth mentioning that.  The C-47 military transport aircraft newly equipped by the pilots, although its flight speed is not very fast, its maximum range reaches more than 2,600 kilometers, almost equal to the range of the Zero fighter, so it can fully meet the needs of the new Northeast Army at this stage.  Combat military transportation and other needs.  During World War II, the main transport aircraft on the famous "Hump" route was the C-47.  During the most difficult period of China's Anti-Japanese War, it delivered a large amount of urgently needed military supplies to the rear areas of China's Anti-Japanese War, ensuring the determination and confidence of the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to persist in the war to the end.  So far, the number of air force fighters of the Northeast New Army has increased to 420.  Including seventy Zero fighters and seventy Stuka dive bombers.  Eighty he111 bombers and one hundred and fifty bf109 short-range fighters.  As well as fifty C-47 military transport aircraft, after more than half a year of training and actual combat training, the thousands of pilots in today's flight group can basically form combat effectiveness.  Therefore, the expanded pilot division immediately organized three combat flight groups and one army aviation transport group. Each flight group was equipped with fifty BF109 fighter jets, more than twenty Zero fighter jets, and two He111 bombers and two Stuka dive bombers each.  More than ten racks.  The Army Aviation Transport Group is equipped with all fifty C-47 military transport aircraft.  After the expansion was completed, Zhang Xinghan deployed a flight regiment at Jiamusi and Qiqihar airports to cooperate with ground troops in guarding the border.  The two flight regiments were dispersedly deployed at Jilin Airport, Changchun Airport and Tongliao Airport, preparing for operations southward.  For the ground troops, Zhang Xinghan decided to leave four ** divisions, supplemented by a large number of local police forces, to stay on the border. They were the ** 8th Division in Manzhouli, the 7th ** Division in Heihe, the 5th ** Division in Qiqihar, and the ** Division in Jiamusi.  6th Division.  The four motorized infantry divisions are mainly deployed in border areas, while the police and military police are responsible for ordinary security patrols in the counties and towns behind.  In order to deal with possible armored assaults launched by the Soviet army, Zhang Xinghan deployed a division of General Zhang Xinghan's Army Group with a total of 300 tanks and armored vehicles in Hailar as a mobile assault force in case of emergency.  On the Eastern Front, in order to deal with the strong Soviet army&#x5927;Artillery fire, Zhang Xinghan allocated the two independent 4th and 5th heavy artillery brigades to the independent 6th and 7th divisions.  After confirming the deployment and completing the tasks of each division, two months later, the 4th Independent Division stationed in Harbin, the 10th Independent Division in Yichun, and the 9th Independent Division in Songyuan began to assemble in Jilin and Changchun areas to stand by.  Three months later, Zhang Xinghan had assembled six independent motorized infantry divisions, two armored tank divisions, two army aviation flying regiments, and three heavy artillery brigades on the Siping, Changchun, and Tongliao front lines, totaling more than 150,000 people.  troops.  In the past few months, the Japanese Kwantung Army has also received reinforcements from nearly 200,000 new troops from the mainland.  After all, the large-scale mobilization of the Northeast New Army cannot be completely hidden from the eyes and ears of the Japanese army.  Including the original Kwantung Army troops stationed in Southern Manchuria, the total Japanese military strength in Southern Manchuria has exceeded 300,000.  However, Muto Nobuyoshi and his staff all believed that Zhang Xinghan's large-scale gathering of troops was in preparation for the southward attack after the beginning of spring.  “Obviously, Muto Nobuyoshi, Hashimoto Toranosuke and others felt that they would not launch a southward attack on the occasion of the New Year.  Because of the cold weather, the ice and snow will create great difficulties for the attacking side.  However, just in case, Muto Nobuyoshi, a cautious guy, sent more than 100,000 troops to Shenyang, Tieling, Xinmin, and Zhangwu.  At the same time, Japanese diplomats were also actively contacting the Soviets who suffered a defeat more than five months ago.  It is hoped that the Soviets can send troops to the North Manchurian border when the Northeastern New Army moves southward to threaten the Northeastern New Army's retreat.  Although the Soviets were still brooding about their defeat in the last war, they were even fooled by Zhang Xinghan during negotiations.  However, they, who had been frightened by the New Northeast Army, did not immediately agree to the Japanese request to send troops. It was obvious that Lao Maozi had the wishful thinking of reaping the benefits.  In a word, if the Northeastern New Army fails in its march south, or is stuck in a stalemate and cannot escape,They will risk sending troops to the northeastern border again.  If the Japanese are defeated by the Northeastern New Army and the Northeastern New Army successfully regains the South Manchuria area, then they will naturally not provoke a war with the Northeastern New Army in the short term.  Of course, the nearly 100,000 troops deployed by Zhang Xinghan in the border areas were also one of the important reasons why the Soviets were so cautious.  Muto Nobuyoshi's troops at this time have exceeded 300,000, but he is not sure of defeating the Northeast New Army, which now has a total strength of more than 200,000 and has just defeated the Russians and forced them to sit down and sign an armistice agreement.  .  Therefore, he could only choose to stick to Southern Manchuria instead of counterattacking Northern Manchuria.  Muto Nobuyoshi is waiting for the completion of the nationwide mobilization. In another month at most, the second batch of reinforcements will arrive. By then, his Kwantung Army will be able to receive 200,000 reinforcements.  The total strength will be increased to more than 500,000. After all, the Japanese Empire still has nearly 3 million reserves after military training and retirement.  Now half a year has passed, and the expansion of 500,000 new troops is still no problem.  In fact, the most important reasons are weapons, ammunition, and logistical food supplies. Otherwise, the Japanese can re-call those more than two million retired soldiers to re-enlist overnight.  Although the Japanese have a complete weapons and ammunition production line and supporting military enterprises, it will take half a year at the earliest to fully equip an army of 500,000.  Therefore, it is extremely correct for Zhang Xinghan to choose this time to attack. Otherwise, if he were delayed for a few more months, the strength of the Kwantung Army would have almost doubled.  By then, the battle going south will be really difficult.  With one against two, Zhang Xinghan still has confidence with the advanced technical weapons and infantry weapons and the powerful firepower.  "But to defeat the 500,000-strong Japanese army with 150,000 troops is extremely difficult in the strategic space of Northeast China.  In the mere Southern Manchuria area, if the Japanese really had an army of 500,000, they would be able to achieve a watertight defense.  There will be no loopholes to take advantage of, and the battle between the two sides will7; It will also be a head-to-head war of attrition, which is a style of play that the Northeastern New Army, which is at a disadvantage, must not choose.  ………………… After January of the Gregorian calendar, the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year has arrived.  Jilin City, the sky has just brightened, and bursts of loud firecrackers rang out in the courtyards of every house in Jilin City.  The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and every household welcomes the new year with Spring Festival couplets.  Including, Jilin, Changchun, Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi, and even Tongliao and Siping as frontline cities.  People set off firecrackers one after another to welcome the New Year.  At the same time, at the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  Zhang Xinghan energetically picked up the call to advance to South Manchuria: "I order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 9th, and 10th Independent Divisions, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigades, and the 1st and 2nd Armored Group Army  The tank division immediately launched an attack on the enemy in front of them. The 1st and 2nd flying regiments of the pilot division took off from Changchun and Tongliao in Jilin, bombing the enemy's defensive positions, rear transportation and other facilities. The first stage strategic goal was to eliminate all Japanese troops centered in Shenyang.  , and then officially march towards Dalian! " ps: The climax, the Shenyang battle is about to begin.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 194: Attack on Tieling

    On January 20, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, after receiving orders from Zhang Xinghan, the five motorized infantry divisions and three heavy artillery brigades stationed in Changchun, Siping and Tongliao divided into two groups and began to move south.  <－》 The East Road is composed of the **2nd Division stationed in Siping, the **4th Division and the **10th Division from Harbin and Yichun, and two heavy artillery brigades. It goes south along the South Manchuria Railway and serves as  Main attack mission.  The West Road is composed of the 3rd Infantry Division stationed in Tongliao and the 9th Infantry Division coming south from Songyuan, with a heavy artillery brigade, responsible for attacking in the direction of Zhangwu and Xinmin.  Finally, they joined forces with the main attacking force from the East Route at the foot of Shenyang City. More than 100,000 troops from both routes marched southward, and the war was imminent.  The 1st ** Division and the 1st and 2nd Armored Tank Divisions of the Armored Group Army stationed in Jilin were retained by Zhang Xinghan as strategic reserves.  The first battle to break out with the Japanese army was the east-route offensive force. Zhao Zhenfan commanded two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a tank regiment of the ** 2nd Division to set off first along the railway.  At noon that day, we took a train and arrived near Tieling. Since the southbound railway was destroyed by the Japanese army, Zhao Zhenfan led his troops to get off the train and march towards Tieling on foot.  As mentioned before, a motorized infantry division of the Northeast New Army has three infantry regiments, a tank regiment, and an air defense regiment. The original artillery battalion has also been officially expanded to the 105 Howitzer Regiment, which is the first combat unit of the fifth regiment.  Zhao Zhenfan led two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and a tank regiment, totaling more than 10,000 people, and arrived outside the entrance of Tieling Beijiao Railway Station at three o'clock in the afternoon.  The Japanese army built a large number of field fortifications based on the South Manchuria Railway. After more than half a year of repairs, most of the Japanese army's fortifications have been turned into permanent fortification bunkers made of reinforced concrete.  There are many bunkers and bunkers on both sides of the railway line. Barbed wire fences and anti-tank trenches used to protect tanks are crisscrossed and interlocking.  Zhao Zhenfan took advantage of the opportunity for the artillery regiment to build artillery positions and took the deputy division commander with him.  Chen Feng, the former commander of the 1st Battalion of the 701st Regiment, and some guards quietly came to the front of a dirt col.  He raised his binoculars to peek at the Japanese positions at close range. After looking for a while, Zhao Zhenfan said to Chen Feng: "Deputy Commander Chen, after seeing the Japs' defense line, do you have any ideas?"  Chen Feng was watching with a telescope. He might have learned about the arrival of the Northeastern New Army. There was not a single Japanese enemy within the effective line of sight of the telescope. They should have all entered the bunker or bunker.  After listening to Zhao Zhenfan’s inquiry.  Chen Feng put down the telescope and said seriously: "Master, the Japs have been prepared for a long time. We have no loopholes to exploit, and the Japanese cannot avoid it. This battle will be a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle without any tricks. So, there is no way.  What do you mean, let the artillery regiment and tank regiment prepare for the attack." Zhao Zhenfan nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go back to the division headquarters." "It won't take long.  The two came to the division headquarters that had been set up. Inside the division headquarters, the communications soldiers were busy setting up radio stations and telephone lines to contact the regiments, battalions and companies.  After returning to the division headquarters.  Zhao Zhenfan immediately said to Chen Feng: "Chief of Staff Chen, immediately give orders to the first regiment, artillery regiment, and tank regiment. Prepare for battle as soon as possible, prepare to attack, and the tank regiment will cover. The first regiment will coordinate the attack, and the artillery fire will rush to suppress it." (each  The deputy commander of the Motorized Infantry Division temporarily serves as the division's chief of staff) "Yes!" Chen Feng agreed and turned around to find the ordering soldier.  It didn’t take long before the 36 105mm howitzers of the artillery regiment directly under the 2nd Division of the ** were prepared one after another.  The hundreds of Panzer IV tanks of the tank regiment are also all ready for battle.  Due to the terrain, it is impossible for a hundred Panzer IV tanks to participate in the attack at the same time.  Therefore, after discussing with Chief of Staff Chen Feng, Zhao Zhenfan mobilized twenty Panzer IV tanks to coordinate the attack with the 1st Infantry Regiment, so that the infantry and tanks would coordinate and support each other.  "Divisional seat, the artillery regiment has been prepared and can fire at any time." In the division headquarters, after Chen Feng received the call from the artillery regiment, he turned to Zhao Zhenfan, who was looking at the map, holding the microphone and ordered.  "Tell the artillery regiment to fire immediately and give him a hard blow for that son of a bitch." Zhao Zhenfan raised his hand and ordered without thinking.  Chen Feng nodded, released his hand covering the microphone, and ordered to the leader of the running regiment on the other end of the phone: "The division has ordered us to fire immediately and hit him hard." After the artillery regiment received the order,  36 105mm howitzers opened fire immediately.  A burst of rapid shells suddenly&#x65f6;It landed on the Japanese field position with a screaming sound, and immediately exploded violently.  With each explosion, a ball of red light rose from the ground along with black smoke. Although the ground was very icy and hard due to the weather, dozens of craters of various sizes were still blasted in the open space.  The hard pieces of mud and snow flew away in all directions along with the raging shock wave.  However, in the first round of salvos, the artillery shells rarely hit the Japanese bunker directly, and the bunker hidden in a secret place was not even hit.  After the first round of test firing, the gunners speeded up the adjustment and calibrated shooting. After a short while, the second round of shelling was carried out again.  The second round of shells also roared down. From the impact point, it is easy to see that the accuracy of this shelling was much higher than the last time.  “However, some shells weighing nearly thirty kilograms landed directly over some of the Japanese bunkers and exploded.  Countless shrapnel scattered evenly in all directions, and most of the shock waves also dispersed wildly. Only the bottom explosion impacted the top of the Japanese bunker.  Due to the heavy snow cover and freezing, almost all the Japanese bunkers were covered with an extremely solid layer of ice and snow.  The artillery fire of the 2nd Independent Division only shattered some of the ice on the bunker, and scattered ice shards everywhere, but it could not shake the long-reinforced reinforced concrete bunker built by the Japanese.  It doesn’t even shock or damage the Japanese hiding in the bunker. After all, the bunker is not a tank or an armored vehicle, as long as it is not a direct hit with extremely powerful force.  As long as the people hiding in the bunker are not close to the wall, they will basically not feel much vibration.  Such shelling lasted for more than half an hour, and 36 howitzers poured no less than thousands of shells on the Japanese positions.  Taking advantage of the situation where the Japanese army’s position was filled with smoke and their line of sight was blocked.  Chief of Staff Chen Feng immediately issued an order to attack.  Twenty Panzer IV tanks that had been waiting for a long time started to move first, two stepsAbout four hundred officers and soldiers of the company followed and launched an attack on the Japanese forward positions.  "Boom, boom, boom" twenty No. 4 tanks rumbled forward rapidly, each tank was about twenty meters apart, followed by dozens of Northeastern New Army soldiers.  Soon, the New Army offensive troops entered the range of the Japanese machine guns. Although the line of sight was blocked, in order to prevent the New Army offensive troops from approaching, the light and heavy machine guns in dozens of Japanese bunkers and bunkers continued to fire.  The dense bullets suddenly poured out like rain, hitting the armor of the No. 4 tank with a bang and sparks flying everywhere.  Under attack, the tank crews also began to fight back, and rounds of armor-piercing projectiles were fired from the barrel. ?? Exploded violently in the group of Japanese bunkers. The thickness of the Japanese bunkers was basically more than one meter, so armor-piercing bombs could not cause fatal damage to them.  When the tank traveled 500 meters away from the Japanese forward position, the attacking infantry discovered something unusual. A trench about four or five meters wide was blocking their front.  The infantry immediately issued a warning to the tank crews, and twenty tanks stopped one after another.  Such a wide trench has exceeded the maximum ability of the Panzer IV tank to cross the trench, and the Panzer IV tank was forced to stop at a distance of 500 meters.  In the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Division, Zhao Zhenfan saw this scene with his telescope and said: "What's going on? Why don't the tanks move forward?" "It's not the Japanese who dug anti-tank trenches, is it? Baixiaosheng.com has a lot of words.  "Chen Feng said subconsciously.  Suddenly, a communications soldier panted and ran into the division headquarters and saluted: "Report, we found a huge anti-tank trench dug by the Japanese army ahead. Tanks can't pass through it, and it's difficult for infantry to pass through. The attack was forced to be suspended. Can you please tell me if we can move it forward?"  The attacking troops are temporarily withdrawing. "Withdraw, withdraw immediately." Zhao Zhenfan thought for a while and ordered immediately.  "The division seat, the engineer battalion, the third infantry regiment and the air defense regiment have not arrived yet. Let's stop the attack for now and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive." Chen Feng suggested.  “Well, there is absolutely no need to make unnecessary sacrifices just to gain time, life&#20196;The troops called the air force for bombing, and the artillery regiment continued to bombard me, son of a bitch, so that the little devil could have a good taste of the artillery fire of our Northeastern New Army.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded and said: "By the way, at the same time, report the latest battle situation to the headquarters.  " "Yes, I'll go right away.  "Chen Feng stood up and responded, turned around and walked towards the radio station. Dalian Lushun, headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army. News that the Northeastern New Army soldiers were divided into two groups and marching south in large numbers has reached the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  In the headquarters, Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke was reporting to Muto Nobuyoshi on the latest battle report sent by the Tieling garrison: "Your Excellency, our Tieling garrison reported that the China Army conducted a large number of artillery attacks on our Tieling forward troops, and then dispatched tanks to cover the infantry.  Attack, but because the Imperial Army's anti-tank trench attack failed, they have now retreated.  " Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and said: "Are the casualties of our army serious?  "Reporting back to the general, our bunkers and bunkers are all made of reinforced concrete. In addition, it is freezing cold today, so as long as they are not directly hit by the Chinese's large and heavy aircraft bombs or artillery shells, there is no problem at all."  of.  The previous Chinese artillery bombardment was at least a 100 mm caliber heavy artillery, but it failed to cause much substantial damage to the Imperial Army's bunker group.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke said. "Well, electrify the Tieling garrison. Tieling is the gateway to Shenyang. We must hold on to the end. Reinforcements will continue to support them.  "Muto Nobuyoshi nodded with relief and said. PS: I will work hard for ten updates today!!! Please vote for me!!! (To be continued.) Chapter 194: Attack on Tieling (1st update)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 195: Bridge Tank

    Jilin City, Northeast New Army Headquarters.  <－》 Zhang Xinghanzheng and Jiang Baili were conducting war games on the sand table with the cooperation of a group of staff members.  At this time, Li Guocai, director of the Communications Department of the General Headquarters, walked in quickly with a message in hand.  "Commander, please take your seat, the 2nd Division of the ** has sent the latest battle report from the Tieling front line." Li Guocai reported with a snap salute.  "How is the battle going?" Jiang Baili asked.  <h1>The latest chapter of the Overlord http:://</h1> “The Japanese army built a large number of permanent bunker firepower groups made of cement and steel bars, and also dug anti-tank trenches. The engineers and other follow-up troops of the 2nd Division have not yet  Arrive, the attack has stopped now," Li Guocai replied.  "Anti-tank trenches?" Jiang Baili frowned when he heard this, turned to Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, this little trouble encountered by the 2nd Division reminds me that the Japanese have been preparing for this kind of counterattack for a long time.  Tanks, trenches, and all kinds of obstacle fortifications are endless. We still have to think of a better way to ensure that the troops can pass through these enemy obstacles as quickly as possible and reduce unnecessary casualties. "A staff officer next to him nodded: "Staff.  You are right. Ordinary geotechnical filling operations require extremely heavy casualties. As for the trenches dug by the Japanese, we should think of a way to quickly pass through them. In my opinion, it can allow frontline troops to pass through them quickly.  Each one should prepare more planks and the like to build a bridge and a road." "Build a bridge and build a road?"  Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought carefully and said: "Chief of Staff, you are responsible for staying in Jilin. I will lead the armored group army to the front line and personally command the troops to attack." "Commander, be careful." Jiang Baili and others quickly stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan immediately left the headquarters with Guo Zhong and ran straight towards the strategic warehouse of the Northeast New Army in Jilin.  This strategic warehouse is located in the north of Jilin City, close to the mountains and the Songhua River, and is heavily guarded.  A large amount of strategic materials, various weapons and ammunition are stored inside.  The weapons and ammunition produced in the rebuilt arsenal are stored here.  In fact, these are all pretense. The purpose of Zhang Xinghan's establishment of this large warehouse is to hide from others so that he can produce various required weapons from watches.  equipment.  The attack of the frontline troops was frustrated, which made him think of another auxiliary tank of the Panzer IV family, which was a bridge tank modified from the Panzer IV.  This type of bridge tank does not have a turret on the top. Instead of the turret, it is a flat, retractable steel bridge.  When the bridge-building tank drives to the river, it can lift one end of the folded steel bridge, and then release the folded steel bridge one by one. The other end of the bridge will be raised into the water, and the pontoon bridge more than 10 meters long will be placed in the water.  erected on the river.  After one bridging tank completes the bridge construction, the other can connect to the previous section of the pontoon bridge.  One car after another.  A battlefield pontoon bridge was thus built.  Infantry, tanks, artillery, and vehicles can pass on the pontoon bridge and cross the river smoothly.  With this kind of bridging tank, troops of various arms can quickly pass through various rivers and lakes smoothly, and the anti-tank trenches dug and built by the little devils are naturally not a problem.  But what Zhang Xinghan didn’t know was whether his watch had been unblocked at this time. Engineer performance tanks were only produced and developed in the 1940s.  After leaving Guo Zhong and others waiting outside, Zhang Xinghan walked into a secret room in the warehouse alone.  Taking out his watch, Zhang Xinghan entered the game with an anxious mood, and adjusted the screen menu to the armored tank vehicle page.  Pulling it down, several auxiliary tanks appeared in front of him.  It was just as Zhang Xinghan expected.  The Panzer IV bridge tank is a more advanced tank after the Tiger tank and the Panther tank.  It has not been unlocked yet. After clicking on the Panzer IV unlocking function, a prompt pops up on the page.  Unlocking requires 250,000 kills.  <h1>The latest chapter of the Great Overlord http:://</h1> Zhang Xinghan checked his enemy kill value. Fortunately, after fighting with Lao Maozi, he accumulated a batch of enemy kill values. Now his total kill value is still  Keep it around 300,000.  Without any hesitation.  He immediately chose to unlock it and quickly produced one hundred bridge tanks, which were delivered to the First Division of the Panzer Army that afternoon.  Zhang Xinghan knows.  With the emergence of this kind of bridging tank, no rivers or lakes in the Northeast can stop the pace of our offensive troops.  Even more tank steel bridges can be laid and added&#x5feb; Troop transport speed.  A bridge-building tank can usually complete the bridge-building operation in less than ten minutes, and can pass up to thirty or forty tons of armored vehicles. This is more than a thousand times better than artificially built pontoon bridges in terms of speed and load-bearing capacity.  Times?  After being tested in actual combat, Zhang Xinghan will equip all engineering units in all divisions of the army with such bridging tanks to enhance the ability of each unit to pass through obstacles.  After allocating all one hundred bridging tanks to the First Division of the Armored Group Army, Zhang Xinghan personally led his troops to the Tieling front line.  In the evening of that day, follow-up troops such as the engineer battalion of the 2nd Independent Division, the air defense regiment, the third infantry regiment, etc. arrived one after another.  Zhao Zhenfan was about to order the engineer battalion to prepare for the trench filling operation. Chief of Staff Chen Feng received a message from the communications corps.  "Master, the Commander-in-Chief has an urgent call." "Oh? What did the Commander say?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "The commander ordered us to suspend the attack and wait for his arrival before making plans." Chen Feng said.  "Okay, order the troops to stay where they are, but the artillery regiment can't rest. They will bombard them every half an hour. I will never let the little devil feel comfortable." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Yeah." Chen Feng nodded.  In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Xinghan finally led the armored division to the Tieling front line along the railway line.  Zhao Zhenfan and Chen Feng hurriedly came out to greet them. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite. Let's talk about the enemy's situation now."  It's basically idle now, and I guess I won't even have a chance to have dinner. " "Very good, you will immediately organize a battalion of troops, supplemented by two tank companies, to prepare for the attack." Zhang Xinghan said.  He took the lead in entering the headquarters.  "Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan and Chen Feng stood up and agreed, and Chen Feng immediately turned around and accepted the order.  “Commander, isn’t it?62f; First let the tank regiment cover the engineer battalion and fill in the Japanese anti-tank trenches before attacking?  "After Chen Feng left, Zhao Zhenfan asked cautiously. "There is no need to risk the engineering battalion. The casualties will be too high. I have brought a new type of bridging tank. We will just wait and see the show.  "Zhang Xinghan said with great anticipation. "Bridge-building tank?  "Zhao Zhenfan looked surprised. <h1>The latest chapter of the Great Master http:://</h1> "You will understand later.  "As he spoke, Zhang Xinghan had already raised his telescope. "Guoping, look, that's our bridge-building tank.  "Zhang Xinghan pointed ahead. "At this time, in order to prevent the Northeast New Army from attacking at night, the Japanese would launch some flares into the sky every once in a while, so Zhang Xinghan could clearly see the advance of his own bridge-building tanks. "Zhao Zhenfan also quickly raised his  Through the telescope, he saw about a dozen tracked iron vehicles that he had never seen before, which looked like tanks but didn't look like tanks, rumbling forward on his own attack position. There were also a dozen Panzer IV tanks who took the opportunity to open fire and cover.  , the next scene that shocked Zhao Zhenfan happened. He saw the dozen iron guys stopped in front of the Japanese anti-tank trench, and the steel frame on the roof suddenly rose up. Then the steel frame slowly formed a scissor shape.  Stretched out, it was about ten meters long and two or three meters wide. Under the stunned eyes of the officers and soldiers on both sides, the steel frame slowly fell down, and the bridge-building tank immediately fell behind the front steel frame.  Withdrawn, a simple steel bridge nearly three meters wide and more than ten meters long was completed. Not only was Zhao Zhenfan able to put a duck egg in his mouth in surprise, but in one of the Japanese bunker groups, a Japanese major commanded him.  The officers were even more shocked. Seeing that the first steel bridge was just built, the anti-tank trench they had worked so hard to build completely failed, and even the barbed wire fence set up on the edge of the trench was overwhelmed by the extra steel bridge head.  Shocked and frightened, he hurriedly took the phone and shouted: "Shoot, shoot!  ” Suddenly dozens of Japanese bunkers and bunkers appeared&#32439; opened fire one after another, and dense bullets poured out like rain.  But apart from the lack of turrets and other weapons, the bridging tank has all the defensive armor that the Panzer IV tank should have.  Although the Japanese machine gun fire was fierce, it was useless except to scratch the itch of other bridging tanks.  Almost covered by the dense rain of Japanese bullets, more than a dozen bridge-building tanks completed the laying task and retreated on their own.  In the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Division, Zhao Zhenfan was so excited that he couldn't hold back his laughter after watching this scene: "Commander, this bridge-building tank is amazing. With this thing, the Japanese can't even dig an anti-tank trench.  Even if they defend the Liaohe River, there will be no difficulty for us. ""Okay, let's order the troops to attack," Zhang Xinghan put down his binoculars, took out a cigarette and lit it.  Zhao Zhenfan personally picked up the phone, suppressed his excitement, and ordered loudly: "I order to attack immediately." Almost as soon as Zhao Zhenfan put down the phone, hundreds of No. 4 tanks opened fire one after another, and some tanks even drove directly onto the steel  bridge.  More than 700 officers and soldiers from an infantry battalion followed the tanks and rushed up the steel bridge in more than a dozen groups.  "Come on! Kill!" The officers and soldiers shouted with loud killing sounds.  Although the Japanese soldiers desperately opened fire to block the attack, the tanks of the Northeast New Army successfully passed through the anti-tank trenches.  With the cover of tanks and vehicles, the infantry's attack will be much smoother.  As violent explosions rang out from the bunkers one after another, and after the flash of fire, the Japanese bunkers were quickly declared to have been lost.  Zhang Xinghan commanded the main force of the Independent 2nd Division to follow up, using the tank regiment as the front guide to penetrate the Japanese defense line deeply. By daybreak, the Japanese troops outside the city were basically wiped out and Tieling County was surrounded.  (To be continued.) Chapter 195: Bridge Tank (2nd update)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 196: Prelude to the Battle of Shenyang

    By daybreak, the entire Tieling City had been surrounded on three sides by the Northeastern New Army. Only the southern sides of the railway were still under the control of the Japanese army.  However, Zhang Xinghan had deployed two battalions of the 2nd Division to attack from both sides under the cover of one battalion from each tank regiment.  Tieling City was surrounded on three sides, and news of the critical situation was quickly reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Kwantung Army Headquarters, Hashimoto Toranosuke said anxiously: "Your Excellency General, Tieling has been surrounded by the Chinese on three sides. The southern defense line is also in danger and cannot be held. We should abandon Tieling as soon as possible and evacuate the remaining troops to Shenyang.  Let’s have a decisive battle with the Chinese in Shenyang.” Muto Nobuyoshi was furious, his old face full of wrinkles couldn’t suppress a twitch, and he continuously scolded the commander of the Tieling garrison for being incompetent and a fool.  In the end, he agreed to Hashimoto Toranosuke's suggestion and ordered the remaining Tieling garrison to abandon Tieling and move closer to Shenyang.  The temporary division headquarters of duli 2nd Division.   Chen Feng hurriedly walked in, saluted Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Zhenfan and said: "Commander, division seat, the second regiment reports that the little Japs in Tieling City are trying to escape." "The tank regiment and the first and second battalions of the second infantry regiment intensify their pincer attack.  , the 1st Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment accelerated their attack from the front. The 1st Tank Division and the 2nd Tank Division immediately detoured to the south of Tieling County, cutting off the Japanese army's escape from Tieling City, and must annihilate them all in Tieling. "Zhang Xinghan.  He ordered immediately.  "Yes!" Chen Feng agreed loudly, then turned around and took the order to leave.  After the Armored Group Army received Zhang Xinghan's order, Commander Li Zhenyuan immediately led the First Tank Division and the Second Tank Division in an east-west roundabout attack southward around Tieling City.  The Japanese army had just retreated less than ten miles south along the railway line when it was overtaken by the tank regiment and infantry unit of Duli's 2nd Division that followed.  The timely appearance of two tank divisions of the Armored Group Army caused a fatal deterrent and blow to the Japanese army.  Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles galloped across the battlefield, beating thousands of Japanese soldiers to pieces.  At the same time, more than ten aircraft from the 1st Flying Regiment of the Northeast New Army also arrived for reinforcements.  Under the attack of powerful ground and air forces, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers who escaped from Tieling City were completely wiped out in less than an hour.  Both sides of the railway line from Tieling City to Nan Tieling County were littered with corpses of Japanese soldiers.  ???????????While the 2nd Duli Division was attacking Tieling, the 3rd Duli Division stationed in Tongliao and the 9th Duli Division coming from Songyuan were under the unified command of Liu Jianguo, commander of the 3rd Division.  Departing from Qinglong Mountain.  An attack was launched on Zhangwu County, which fell into the hands of the Japanese army again.  The main defense lines of the Japanese army are located in Shenyang, Tieling and Xinmin, so Zhangwu County has not deployed many troops, only less than one infantry regiment.  Under the powerful artillery bombardment composed of the two division-directed artillery regiments and the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to abandon Zhangwu without being able to hold on for even a day.  Of course, this is mainly because the Japanese defense focus is not on Zhangwu, an isolated land in the front, but on the already connected Xinmin.  Where, the Japanese not only deployed heavy troops, but also built a large number of fortifications.  And relying on the Liuhe River, the Liaohe River and the Hunhe River formed a new line of defense.  After the West Route Army captured Zhangwu, the East Route Army also completely annihilated the Tieling Japanese Army.  Zhang Xinghan could then order his troops to take advantage of the situation to continue attacking and march towards Shenyang and Xinmin.  ……………… Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Muto Nobuyoshi had already learned about the fall of Zhangwu and Tieling, so he didn't worry about the fall of Zhangwu. However, not only did Tieling, which deployed heavy troops, fall, but the defenders were completely wiped out by Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army.  Muto Nobuyoshi's mood at this moment was so furious that words could not describe it.  He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Order, all the imperial troops south of the Hun River immediately march to Shenyang. Fight to the death with the Chinese in Shenyang!" "General, we need to be prepared for the roundabout attack of the Chinese, so I suggest that we march south of Shenyang until  In the Dalian area, no less than 100,000 troops should be deployed to ensure that the important towns along the South-Manchuria Railway do not give the Chinese people any opportunity to concentrate on Shenyang and the new civilian defense line. There is no need to defeat the enemy.  Hold on for a month. We will be able to get another 200,000 reinforcements. By then, the Imperial Army will be able to counterattack the Northern Manchuria Army with its absolute strength." Hashimoto Toranosuke hurriedly advised.  "Baga Ya Road." Muto Nobuyoshi certainly knew that Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke's suggestion was pertinent and correct.  What he just said was just a momentary and angry statement.  "Hashimoto-kun, you rush to Shenyang immediately to assist Shunroku Hata in commanding the Shenyang battle. You must hold on for more than a month. This battle is related to southern Manchuria."I'll lose the honor of the empire, please!  "Muto Nobuyoshi calmed down and ordered Hashimoto Toranosuke in a deep voice. "Hai, please rest assured, General, I will do my best to assist General Hata Shunroku in holding the Shinshin defense line and fight to the end for the Imperial Holy War!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded. ……………………………… Shenyang City, Japanese Army Headquarters. The original commander of the 10th Division, Shunroku Hata, has now been appointed by Muto Nobuyoshi as Shenxin  The joint commander of the defense line is responsible for commanding the 200,000 Japanese troops in the Shenxin defense line. In the headquarters, a group of Japanese army staff members were busy walking around the sand table with their sabers in hand.  , his eyes were fixed on the small flags representing the Chinese and Japanese armies on the sand table. After a long time, Shunroku Hata stretched out his right hand with a white glove and pulled down the small white flags representing Tieling, and said expressionlessly: "  The Battle of Shenyang was bloody to the end.  ” ……………………… In Tieling City, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Zhao Zhenfan and others, has moved the headquarters into the city. At this time, Duli’s 4th Division, Duli’s 10th Division and two heavy artillery brigades have arrived.  Zhang Xinghan immediately gathered the tank regiments of their three divisions and organized them into a division-level assault force. At the same time, he transferred the direct artillery regiments of the three divisions to the Duli 1st and 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigades, forming a seven-member assault force.  A powerful artillery group of three artillery regiments advanced along the railway to Shenyang in a zigzag formation. Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered eight artillery regiments to line up along both sides of the railway line when they encountered the Japanese army's field position.  Line up and build an artillery position. At the same time, the newly formed tank division and the two tank divisions of the Armored Group Army are formed into an armored assault force, ready for assault at any time, and as a mobile support force for the east and west offensive forces to support the two forces' attacks.  The eight artillery regiments have a total of 108 105mm howitzers and 146 150mm heavy howitzers. A total of 252 heavy howitzers with a caliber of more than 100mm. The firepower of 252 large-caliber artillery.  It's so spectacular. From a distance, the shells are as dense as locusts, dragging their long tail flames like meteorites flying through the sky, heading towards the Japanese defense position of Beida Camp.  It smashed away. In an instant, the entire Beida camp was shaken, thick smoke was everywhere, and there were red lights and mushroom clouds rising into the sky. The hot fire almost ignited the entire sky.  At the same time as the attack, more than a hundred high-altitude HE111 bombers from two regiments of the pilots also arrived as scheduled and began a fierce bombing at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters.  The bombs fell from the sky. The Japanese army position of Beidaying, which was already shrouded in fire and smoke, suddenly experienced a series of violent explosions. "Boom, boom, boom" The huge explosion sounded throughout Shenyang City.  It can be heard clearly for dozens of miles away. Under the bombardment of the Northeast New Army's powerful artillery group and heavy aviation bombs, the solid bunker groups that the Japanese army attaches great importance to are overwhelmed. Some bunkers have suffered 105,150mm caliber.  After the fierce howitzer bombardment, it was bombarded by the Air Force's heavy artillery bombs. As long as the heavy bombs landed slightly closer to the bunker, the Japanese soldiers hiding inside could also be blown into ruins in an instant.  Standing on the top of Tieling City, Zhang Xinghan, Zhao Zhenfan and several division commanders could clearly see the huge fire and smoke rising into the sky in the direction of Beidaying, and they could clearly hear the deafening violent explosion.  . The American female reporter Erin and the British female reporter Alice, who strongly requested to accompany the army to cover the battlefield, quickly used their cameras to take pictures of the mushroom clouds rising in the distance.  At this moment, they were deeply shocked. Although they did not understand military affairs, they did not know the scale of the artillery and bombing launched by the Northeast New Army against Shenyang City.  But from the deafening explosion that could be clearly heard dozens of miles away, and the feeling that the ground beneath my feet was shaking vaguely.  They knew that the scale of such shelling and bombing should not be underestimated.     at the same time.  We also have a clear understanding of the strength of the Northeast New Army.  Alice even wrote in her notes that since arriving in Northeast China, I have never seen such a spectacular sight, the huge mushroom clouds composed of black smoke and flames.  Those huge explosions were deafening.  It deeply shocked my senses.  &nbsp; I can completely imagine how the Japanese soldiers on the defending side are suffering at the moment. I really feel that they are quite pitiful.     oh.  By the way, they are invaders who invade other people's countries, and invaders are hateful.  This should be called what they deserve.  Next to Zhang Xinghan, Du Ting, Commander of Duli's 10th Division, and Liu Guodong, Commander of Duli's 4th Division, also looked shocked and excited and said: "Damn it, such a firepower strike is so satisfying." "Yes, such artillery and  We simply can’t imagine the size of the air force. I really can’t believe that in less than two years, our army can develop to the size it is today.” “Now every little devil deserves to be buried alive.”  Or roasted pork? "Hahaha." "Don't be too proud. The Japanese have gathered more than 200,000 troops in Shenyang and Xinmin. This loss is nothing to them," Zhang Xinghan said.  He paused and said: "However, in this battle, we must completely defeat the Japanese people head-on. Not only will we win this battle, we must also destroy and disintegrate the Japanese people's fighting consciousness and change their desire for victory.  Into despair!" (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 197: The Cavalry Attack at the Battle of Shenyang

    In Shenyang City, the rumble of artillery and violent explosions from the Peking Camp enveloped the entire Shenyang, including the Japanese headquarters.  <-> In the Japanese military headquarters, Shunroku Hata's face was extremely solemn. From time to time, staff members would report the latest battle losses on the front line to him.  "General, the Chinese air strikes and artillery bombardments are still continuing. A regiment of the Beida Battalion has lost more than one-third. The second-line troops are in place and can be reinforced at any time." Noda Fugu, chief of staff of the 14th Division, told him  Report.  Shunroku Hata lightly nodded his head, held the command sword with one hand, and said to Noda Cuckoo: "Noda-kun, come with me to the north gate of Shenyang to have a look." "General, that's not right, the Chinese air force may attack at any time.  It's very dangerous to go to the north gate," Noda Cuckoo hurriedly advised.  The latest chapter of The Great Master http::// Hata Shunroku waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, there are agents of our China around you and me, don't worry." Noda Cuckoo couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow Hata Shunroku under the protection of a group of guards.  Came to the Shenyang North Gate City Wall.  At this time, the artillery shelling and bombing by the New Northeast Army continued. Standing on the north gate of Shenyang, you can clearly see that the direction of Beidaying, which is more than ten miles away, is already filled with flames and thick smoke.  "Baga Ya Road, I haven't seen you for half a year, Zhang Xinghan's army has become so powerful?!" Hata Shunroku couldn't help but cursed.  "General, I think we can call the air force stationed in Dalian to provide some air support, at least to attack the unscrupulous artillery of the China Army." Noda Cugu said with a worried look.  "The Chinese aviation force has absolute air superiority. Our aviation force cannot attack unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it will be extremely dangerous once it leaves the protection of Dalian's air defense fire circle." Shunroku Hata frowned.  "Can't we attack?" The word "Bu" didn't pop up on the net.  Noda Cuckoo was a little disappointed.  "The number of Chinese fighter planes has obviously increased a lot compared to more than half a year ago. They can be seen almost everywhere during the day, and they are constantly attacking traffic arteries and transportation lines along the Imperial Army's defense lines. Therefore, our aviation units are not used as a last resort. Commander Muto  The officer was reluctant to order them out," Hata Shunroku sighed with regret.  Noda Cuckoo was flabbergasted when he heard the words, Hata Shunroku couldn't understand more about what he said.  It’s not that our own aviation units cannot come out, but once they come out, they may encounter the air force fighters of the New Northeast Army, and once the two sides encounter each other.  There is only one fate for our own fighter planes, and that is to be shot down.  Suddenly, a deafening cry of death came from the front of Beida Camp, which had replaced the violent explosions and air strikes just now.  Hata Shunroku, Noda Cuckoo and others hurriedly raised their telescopes to find out, but the entire Beida Camp was shrouded in smoke and their sight was completely blocked.  Can't see anything clearly.  "General, the Chinese have begun to attack." Noda Cuckoo pointed to Beidaying Road in the distance.  Hata Shunroku nodded noncommittally.  ……………… On the Beidaying battlefield, thousands of Northeastern new officers and soldiers took advantage of the extended artillery fire to launch an attack on the smoke-filled Japanese positions.  Also cooperating in the attack were dozens of Panzer IV tanks and bridging tanks of the armored division.  With the help of bridging tanks, the Japanese anti-tank trenches and barbed wire that had been severely damaged by bombings were completely useless.  The latest chapter of The Great Master http::// The officers and soldiers of the Northeast New Army rushed over like a tide.  At this time, the thick smoke has not dispersed, and the line of sight is completely blocked.  Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers shot blindly based on the killing cries of the new Northeast Army officers and soldiers.  Not to mention the accuracy, the intensity of firepower has also been greatly reduced.  It was simply not enough to stop the tidal wave of people from the Northeastern New Army.  Just when nearly two thousand officers and soldiers of a regiment of the Independent 2nd Division were almost all rushed into the Japanese position.  Thousands of Japanese reinforcements from behind the Beida camp arrived.  The two sides almost rushed within a hundred meters before&#x53d1;Discovering the opponent, a firefight broke out between the infantry and the infantry.  The Beida camp, which had just been quiet for a while, erupted with gunfire again.  “Da da da… bang bang bang…” Amidst the intensive gunfire, soldiers from both sides were shot and fell from time to time.  Dozens of tanks accompanying the army's attack immediately opened fire.  When the cannonball fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers, it immediately exploded, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers.  However, the Japanese reinforcements numbered several thousand, and they were pouring in like a tide from behind the defense line, which was more than one kilometer wide.  The officers and soldiers of a regiment of the 2nd Independent Division fell down one after another, relying on the ruins of the destroyed Japanese bunkers.  Machine guns were set up and heavy fire began.  There are more and more Japanese soldiers, and dense bullets are pouring back and forth like raindrops. With such close firepower exchange, even if the Northeastern New Army has an absolute firepower advantage.  The casualties on both sides also increased sharply in a straight line.  The exchange of fire lasted for more than half an hour.  Although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, they did not retreat at all.  In order to avoid increasing the casualties of the troops, Zhang Xinghan ordered Zhao Zhenfan to withdraw the attacking troops.  There is no other.  We have an absolute artillery group and aerial firepower. We cannot leave them alone. Instead, we use our limited troops, which we do not have an advantage, to fight the Japanese.  As soon as the 2nd Independent Division withdrew, the Japanese immediately retook and occupied the Beidaying position.  But what greeted them was a powerful sudden bombardment composed of seven artillery regiments.  Since Zhu Yuan had already calibrated the shooting, more than 200 shells accurately landed on the Japanese position in the first salvo.  As soon as they entered the dilapidated position, the Japanese soldiers who had not yet had time to repair the fortifications were suddenly killed and injured in large areas.  The latest chapter of the Great Master http::// In Tieling City.  Zhang Xinghan is arranging combat tasks for Li Zhenyuan. The infantry is attacking head on, so the tanks and armored troops cannot be idle.  In order to compress and encircle the Japanese army to Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan, Zhao Zhenfan and others decided after discussion.  With two tank divisions supplemented by 3,000 infantry, a mixed task force was formed to cross the Liao River to the west, and then go south along the Liao River&#19979;, inserted directly into the confluence of Liuhe River, Liaohe River and Hunhe River, cutting off the connection between the Xinmin Japanese Army and the Shenyang Japanese Army.  First capture Xinmin, and then concentrate our forces to besiege Shenyang.  Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and said: "First of all, you have to remember that Xinmin is located to the north of Liuhe River and west of Liaohe River. The Liaohe River runs north-south, and the Liuhe River runs east-west, and merges into the Liaohe River 20 kilometers southeast of Xinmin!" Zhang Xinghan paused.  He looked up at Li Zhenyuan and said: "Your mission is to cross the Liao River with bridge-building tanks in the Tieling section, and then go south along the west bank of the Liao River. Attack Wangjiabao at the confluence of Qinghe and Liaohe rivers. After capturing Wangjiabao, you can move the Liaohe River Bridge  Blow it up to cut off the connection between the Shenyang Japanese Army and the Xinmin Japanese Army, and then hold on to Wangjiapu and cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the Xinmin Japanese Army." Li Zhenyuan nodded with a solemn expression, and Zhang Xinghan said uneasily: "This is the Shenyang battle.  , whether our army can win, Xinmin is crucial, so this Wangjia Fort has become a top priority. You must nail it to me like a nail no matter what, so as to cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate Xinmin City.  "Yes, commander, please rest assured, Zhenyuan will do his best and live up to the commander's expectations!" Li Zhenyuan immediately stood up and responded loudly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and waved his hand to signal him to execute the order.  After Li Zhenyuan left, Zhao Zhenfan asked: "Commander, the bombardment is about to end. Can we launch another attack on Beida Camp?" "Yes, let the three tank regiments fully cover the assault. This time we must capture Beida Camp."  , to coordinate the actions of the Armored Group Army." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Liu Jianguo, the commander of the 4th Independent Division, said: "Commander, can our 4th Division be responsible for this attack? The 2nd Division has already captured Tieling. After killing nearly 10,000 Japs, it's time for our 4th Division to take over.  " "Jianguo, you still want to fight with me for the main attack," Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile.  "Old Chief of Staff, I am not competing with you for the main attack.ah.  I see how hard your brothers from the 2nd Division are working continuously to attack the city, and I want you to take a good rest.  Liu Jianguo also said with a smile. Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and then made a decisive decision: "The 2nd Division is a little tired."  Let's do this, let the 4th Division go up. Anyway, you all have a fight to fight in this battle. No one can be idle in the future. It is not difficult to predict that Beida Camp will become a place where we and the Japanese will compete repeatedly.  "    "yes!  "As soon as Zhang Xinghan spoke, Zhao Zhenfan, Liu Jianguo and others had no objections and stepped forward to answer. Soon, the new force of the 4th Division took over the 2nd Division and launched another attack on the North Camp under the cover of tanks. Since most of the defenses were mostly  This artillery attack by the Northeast New Army caused extremely heavy casualties to the Japanese soldiers. Before they could take a breath, dozens of tanks led nearly a thousand heavily armed 4th Division soldiers.  The infantry attacked with fierce firepower, and the Japanese troops who suffered heavy losses were driven out of Shenyang City again. The Japanese commander Noda Cugu put down the phone with a solemn face, walked towards Hata Shunroku with a saber in his hand, and reported: "  General, call from the front, Beida Camp has been lost.  " "Bagaya Road and Beidaying are the last gateway to Shenyang and must be recaptured. Order the 10th and 11th Divisions to immediately organize pathological counterattacks, hurry up!  "Hata Shunroku was furious when he heard this. At the same time, he could also deeply understand the situation of the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City more than two years ago. But what he didn't expect was that in just over two years, there had been such a big change. The previous attacks  Fang has now become a defender, and although it has 200,000 troops, it can only hold on and dare not take the initiative. "Hai!  "Noda Cuckoo suddenly lowered his head and responded. "How is Xinmin City?  "Hata Shunroku stopped Noda Cuckoo and asked. "The imperial army has repelled several attacks by the Chinese in Xinmin City and is currently safe and sound.  "Noda Cuckoo Road. Hata Shunroku was relieved after hearing this"#26469;, he deployed nearly 50,000 troops in Xinmin, forming a horns with Shenyang, which was very important for the Shenyang battle.  ps: I received the unfortunate news around four o'clock in the afternoon that the relative suffering from gallbladder cancer was about to die. As my family, we had to go, especially my father, who was my nephew. However, my father just had a surgery the day before yesterday.  After the acne surgery, I couldn't ride a bike, so I took him there by bike.  At around 4:30, our loved one left us forever. I wish her a happy journey, and hope that she will not suffer so much in the next life, and will always cherish the memory of our loved ones.  Just now the moderator Sui Feng was very angry, saying that I had no integrity and kept my word. I don’t agree with this, because originally I expected that the relative should be able to survive at least one or two days. I planned to finish the outbreak today and tomorrow  Go to her home to see her again, but who can predict life or death?  Stop talking nonsense. Even if I write today until early tomorrow morning, I will finish writing the ten updates. I will never let down everyone's support and love. Please forgive me, Brother Suifeng.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 198: Surprise Attack on Guanjiapu

    On the battlefield of Beidaying in Shenyang, almost the 4th ** Division had just captured Beidaying and had not yet had time to repair the fortifications.  Ice and Fire! Chinese  About two thousand Japanese soldiers lined up with rifles and launched a counterattack against them.  By this time, it was getting dark, and the Air Force would be temporarily unable to provide air fire support.  **The officers and soldiers of the 4th Division had to rely on tanks and armored vehicles to resist the attack.  In order to consolidate the newly acquired Peking University Camp, Liu Jianguo, commander of the 4th Division of the **, hurriedly deployed an additional infantry regiment and an air defense regiment directly under the division for reinforcements. ? ? **The 4th Division, with the cooperation of the tank division, formed a dense cross-fire network, and the Japanese soldiers who counterattacked and charged were knocked down one by one.  “But the Japanese soldier in front was shot and fell, and immediately someone from behind stepped on the corpse of his companion and continued to rush forward without fear of death.  The battle was extremely fierce, just as the offensive and defensive sides were at a stalemate.  A sharp scream suddenly sounded from behind the Japanese attacking troops. Upon hearing the sound, the attacking Japanese soldiers suddenly pulled out gas masks from their backpacks.  Since suffering repeated losses from the Northeastern New Army’s gas bombs, all Japanese gas masks are now distributed to individual soldiers.  In the dark night sky, the whistle-like scream was extremely harsh, almost covering up the dense gunfire.  "俅俅俅俅" Dozens of poison gas bombs fell into the position of the 4th Division of the Beidaying **. ?? **The officers and soldiers of the 4th Division were shocked. This was their first time encountering poisonous gas. They suddenly panicked, and the originally intensive firepower also stopped.  However, some veterans immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Put on the gas masks quickly" With the veterans' leadership and reminders, the recruits began to put on gas masks one after another.  The tank soldiers inside the tank were also busy looking for gas masks. The tanks at this time did not have automatic biochemical protection devices.  The use of poison gas bombs has always been a hobby of the Japanese, but Zhang Xinghan's troops took the lead during the September 18th Incident, and they were caught off guard and suffered a big loss.  Now the war situation is critical.  The Japanese suddenly resorted to chemical weapons again, but the effect was not bad.  Due to the lack of psychological preparation for using poison gas bombs against the Japanese, the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division were panicked and the firepower stopped.  The Japanese offensive troops seized this golden opportunity.  Taking advantage of the situation, they attacked.  A large group of Japanese soldiers poured into the Beida Camp in the dark night with rifles. The infantry of the 4th Japanese Division fired back hastily, with little effect, and were quickly pushed out by the Japanese army.  The armored soldiers with dozens of tanks were fighting to avoid being captured.  Risking their lives, they opened fire and started the tanks to reverse without even putting on gas masks.  The vehicle-mounted machine gun that suddenly opened fire caused a lot of casualties to the surrounding Japanese soldiers.  At the same time, it also isolated some Japanese soldiers who were holding gun bags and wanted to rush up to blast and destroy the tanks.  In this way, dozens of tanks quickly retreated back with unstoppable momentum and full firepower.  With the support of our own troops, we safely returned to our attack position along the steel-framed iron bridge.  Beida camp once again fell into the hands of the Japanese.  Tieling.  The former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  Liu Jianguo put down the phone dejectedly and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, the 4th Division failed to hold, and the Beida Camp was taken back by the Japs again." "Huh? What's going on?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  "The Japs suddenly used poison gas bombs. Our officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and the Japs took advantage of them." Liu Jianguo suddenly said: "Oh, that's right. There are more than 200 soldiers in the dozens of tanks responsible for covering the infantry operations.  The tank soldiers were almost all hit by poison gas because of their efforts to break through. "Poison gas bombs? The damn little devil has become much more cunning now." Zhang Xinghan was furious when he heard this, and said with a serious face: "Order the artillery."  , all use sulfur arson bombs, and carry out a sweeping attack on Beida Camp. I will turn Beida Camp into a crematorium and burn all the little Japanese who invade Beida Camp to ashes. " "Yes!" Liu Jianguo quickly stood up and responded.  , just about to turn around and leave.  Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and stopped him again: "By the way, please make arrangements immediately to send all the poisoned tanks and armored soldiers back to Jilin for rescue. We must save their lives at all costs. In addition, pass on the order that all troops will be rescued in the next few days."  During the battle, be sure to wear a gas mask in advance to be safe!" "Yes, I'll do it right away," Liu Jianguo said happily, turned around and took the order and left quickly.  Zhang Xinghan gave an order, and the seven heavy artillery regiments replaced their shells with sulfur arson bombs.  “Swish swish swish…”""The sound of rapid artillery shells flying out was heard, and hundreds of arson bombs quickly fell into the Beida Camp. Once the arson bombs exploded, flames immediately flew everywhere, and everything that could burn, including the corpses of soldiers on both sides, burned quickly  It started, and the fire soon enveloped the Japanese soldiers who were repairing the fortifications. Some of the Japanese soldiers immediately began to roll back and forth on the ground in panic, trying to put out the flames. But to their despair, they were covered in flames.  The flames grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread all over their bodies, turning them into burning people, burning them alive. Since they did not receive Zhang Xinghan's order to cease fire, the artillery group of the New Army continued to attack the Beida Camp for two days.  More than an hour of fierce shelling almost exhausted all the ammunition reserves for arson bombs they carried this time. Two hours later, the Beida Camp was already a sea of ????fire, and everything that could be burned was ignited.  It was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and could be vaguely seen for dozens of miles away. The screams of Japanese soldiers could no longer be heard in the fire, but a disgusting smell of meat wafted out. At the same time, on the west bank of the Liaohe River,  After a rapid march in the middle of the night, Li Zhenyuan led 600 tanks and armored vehicles and 3,000 infantrymen to the Qianpitun area east of Xinmin along the west bank of the Liao River, less than ten kilometers away from the destination of this trip, Guanjiapu.  While leading his troops, suddenly a soldier from the vanguard platoon came galloping over on a three-wheeled motorcycle: "Commander, there are Japanese soldiers stationed and patrolling along the coast three kilometers ahead.  "The communications soldier saluted from the three-wheeled motorcycle beside him. "How many Japs are there?  "Li Zhenyuan poked his head out of the armored vehicle and asked. "The strength is about one brigade, and defense fortifications have been built based on the Liao River. The main force is in the position, and there are a small number of mobile sentries patrolling outside.  "The communication soldier replied. "The tank group opened the way, rushed over and destroyed his idiot, and then quickly advanced towards Guanjiabao!  "Li Zhenyuan ordered immediately. "Yes!  "The communications soldier saluted loudly, and immediately drove a motorcycle to take the order and leave. The Japanese army stationed three kilometers east of Qian Pi Tun was indeed an infantry brigade. This is what the commander of the Xinmin Japanese Army wanted to do.  One of the security forces deployed on both sides of the Liaohe River Bridge further south, there are no less than two regiments of troops stationed to guard the Liaohe River Bridge and some coastal villages on both sides.  With the security positions built on the flat river beach, it was impossible to stop the steel frenzy of 600 tanks and armored vehicles from the two armored tank divisions. Li Zhenyuan only mobilized one tank regiment and 100 tanks to attack the Japanese infantry brigade positions.  After launching the assault, it took less than twenty minutes to completely wipe out this unlucky Japanese brigade. The main force continued to rumble towards Guanjiapu, seven kilometers away. The Japanese army deployed a regiment in Guanjiapu.  The garrison strength was already alerted by the gunfire from Pitun. Li Zhenyuan used two tank divisions and 600 tanks and armored vehicles to surround the Japanese regiment on three sides of the Liaohe River, with hundreds of tank guns and hundreds of armored vehicles.  The powerful firepower of all kinds of machine guns was carried out against the Japanese army, especially the tank guns of 400 tanks. Imagine that 400 artillery pieces fired fiercely.  How spectacular would that scene be? Three thousand infantrymen also joined the siege. The powerful firepower of tanks and armored vehicles had already suppressed the remaining Japanese soldiers who were still struggling. The three thousand infantrymen basically stopped.  So, in less than half an hour, Guanjiabao had been captured by Li Zhenyuan, using the fortifications dug by the Japanese army, with three thousand infantry as the main force and four tanks.  Regiment, two armored regiments deployed troops around Guanjiapu, and the news of Guanjiapu's fall was quickly spread to Shenyang City by the Xinmin Japanese Army. Hata Shunroku was devastated by the tragic situation and serious losses of Beida Camp.  He was furious. In less than a day and night, the casualties of his troops in Beida Camp had exceeded 10,000, of which more than half were killed directly. If the losses in the Battle of Tieling were added, Hata Shunroku would have already suffered casualties at this time.  Nearly 30,000 people were killed, half of whom were killed in action. Only two days after the war began, there were 30,000 casualties, 100% of which were killed in action.Fifty, how could such a casualty ratio not make Shunroku Hata heartbroken and angry.  When Shunroku Hata was roaring and scolding several Japanese commanders, they were extremely ashamed and frightened.  Chief of Staff Noda Cugu led a person in hastily.  "General, look who's here." Noda Cuckoo reported with a smile.  Hearing the sound, Shunroku Hata looked up and saw that the person who came was none other than Major General Hashimoto Toranosuke, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "Why did Chief of Staff Hashimoto come in person?" Shunroku Hata stepped forward and asked in surprise.  Before Hashimoto Toranosuke could answer, a Japanese communications officer ran in with a hurried look and said before saluting: "Your Excellency, General, it's not good. Guanjiapu on the west bank of the Liaohe Bridge was captured by the Chinese Army in a night raid.  , now our communication with Xinmin has been cut off!"

    ●"What?" Junroku, Hashimoto Toranosuke and others heard this and their expressions changed drastically.  "What did you say? Guanjiabao was captured by the Chinese?" Junliu grabbed the collar of the communications soldier and roared in disbelief: "What happened? How did the Chinese pass through the Liaohe Bridge?" "General, China  People didn't cross the Liao River from the Liao River Bridge, they probably crossed the Liao River from other places." The communications soldier lowered his head and replied.  "Bagaya Road." Junliu pushed the signal soldier away and said angrily: "Guanjiabao must be recaptured, and the Chinese must not let the Chinese destroy the Liaohe Bridge." "Junjun, now Guanjiabao has been captured by China  If people capture it, the Liaohe Bridge may not be preserved," Hashimoto Toranosuke said with a solemn expression.  Hashimoto Toranosuke hit the spot. As soon as he finished speaking, another communications soldier hurried in and said without even saluting: "Your Excellency, the Guanjiabao Liao River Bridge has been destroyed by the blasts of the Chinese army." Shunlioku's expression  He was so gloomy and terrifying that the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.  Hashimoto Toranosuke suggested: "Toshijun, the top priority right now is to organize troops from the Xinmin people to recapture Guanjiabao and repair the Liaohe Bridge." "Order the Xinmin garrison commander to immediately mobilize troops to recapture Guanjiabao at all costs and open up connections between Xinmin and Shenyang.  "The connection between them." Junliu gritted his teeth.  "General, not only must we mobilize troops from Xinmin to counterattack, it is best to send another unit from Shenyang. Only then can a two-sided attack be effective!" Noda Cuckoo suggested.  Tieling.  "Commander, there is a call from Li Zhenyuan. Guanjiabao has been captured and the Liaohe Bridge has been blown up." Li Guocai saluted Zhang Xinghan with a message in his hand.  "Well, very good. Call Li Zhenyuan back to defend Guanjiapu at all costs. At the same time, send Wang Yizhe another message to order him to launch an attack on Xinmin City immediately. The Air Force will fully cooperate with their actions." Zhang Xinghan nodded happily and ordered.  "Yes, Commander!" Li Guocai stood up and responded.  After Li Guocai left, Zhang Xinghan said to Liu Jianguo, Zhao Zhenfan and Du Ting: "You immediately command the 2nd and 10th divisions to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese defense line in Shenyang to contain the Japanese army in Shenyang and cooperate with the West Route Army to attack Xinmin.  . **The 4th Division is responsible for Beida Camp, and the 2nd and 10th Divisions are responsible for attacking Dongshanzuizi in the east of Shenyang City and the west of the city!" "Yes!" The three of them responded at the same time, and immediately took their orders.  go.  Zhangwu County, the headquarters of the West Route Army of the Northeastern New Army.  A communications staff officer saluted Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu with a telegram in his hand: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang urgently telegraphed, "Read it!  "Wang Yizhe raised his hand and said. "Today, Guanjiapu, a strategic location between Xinmin and Shenyang, has been cut off by our army and the Liaohe River Bridge has been destroyed. The opportunity has arisen to encircle and annihilate Xinmin's enemies. We have specially ordered all departments of the West Route Army to immediately attack Xinmin City.  When attacking, be sure to wipe out all the Japanese troops here and prevent any of them from slipping through the net. The Air Force will do its best to provide you with air support!  Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeastern New Army, January 23, 2011.  " "The communications staff officer read quickly. Wang Yizhe and the 9th Division Commander Gao Chu looked at each other and said with their foreheads: "Call back to the commander-in-chief, we will resolutely implement the headquarters' orders."  "The communications staff saluted, turned around and took the order. After the communications staff left, Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu looked at each other and nodded, and immediately picked up the phone to contact the frontline regiments. "I am Wang Yizhe, attack immediately.  " In the early morning of that morning, a heavy artillery brigade of the West Route Army plus two divisions' direct artillery regiments totaled four artillery regiments. Nearly two hundred howitzers began to fire violently at the field defense positions of the New Civil Guards. After a while, from  Dozens of bombers from Tongliao, Changchun and Jilin arrived one after another under the cover of twenty combat aircraft, and cooperated with the ground artillery troops to carry out fierce bombing on the Japanese positions outside Xinmin City. The entire city was instantly plunged into a sea of ??flames.  At the same time, on the plains northeast of Xinmin City, two tank divisions of the New Northeast Army were engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with nearly 10,000 Japanese troops. These more than 10,000 Japanese troops were mobilized from Xinmin City in order to recapture Guanjiabao.  However, they were discovered by the armored group army's scouts just after they left the city. Li Zhenyuan immediately commanded two tank divisions with 600 tanks and armored vehicles to use their mobility and assault capabilities to launch an assault on the 600 tanks.  The area covered is more than two kilometers wide, and thousands of vehicle-mounted machine guns fire more than hundreds of thousands of dense bullets every minute. From this, you can imagine how dense and terrifying this firepower is.  It caused extremely heavy damage to the Japanese counterattack troops.Heavy casualties.  As the strategic ground mobile force of the Northeast New Army, the combat effectiveness of the Armored Group Army is beyond doubt. They have demonstrated their value with their performance.  It further proves their combat effectiveness.  The two sides fought for less than an hour, and the Japanese troops in three full regiments suffered heavy casualties and were all routed back.  Li Zhenyuan led the armored troops and pursued them all the way to the east and north gates of Xinmin. They just gave up. Along the way, Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and corpses lay everywhere.  In such an open wilderness, the Japanese army, which lacked a large number of effective anti-tank weapons, was like a lamb to the slaughter in front of 600 tanks and armored vehicles, with no power to fight back.  Especially since the two sides are still in a state of encounter.  The New People's Army lost thousands of troops, but not even a shadow of Guanjiabao was seen. The front of the defense was attacked by the Northeast New Army in an unprecedented manner.  The position was plowed several times by artillery shells and aerial bombs, and the large number of carefully built permanent defenses were almost completely destroyed.  Especially after the conventional shelling and bombing, Wang Yizhe ordered the artillery troops to switch to incendiary bombs, which caused extremely heavy casualties to the Japanese.  On the first day alone, the Japanese troops of the New People's Republic of China suffered over 10,000 casualties.  This is not without reason. The counterattack troops that first left the city were attacked head-on by two tank divisions, and almost the entire army was wiped out.  The Japanese army's frontal defense was destroyed by the double combined attack of aviation and ground artillery fire from the Northeast New Army.  After losing the cover of fortifications, the Japanese army's casualty rate increased sharply under the subsequent bombing and incendiary bomb attacks by the Northeast New Army.  "In the final analysis, Shenyang and Xinmin are not dangerous places with high mountains and ridges. The Japanese army is stuck in the Songliao Plain and it is impossible to build tunnel defenses like the People's Liberation Army did in Shangganling.  It is even more impossible to turn the battle between Shenyang and Xinmin into Ban Island.  After all, no matter how strong the Japanese defenses in the plains are, they cannot withstand the devastating bombing of tens of thousands of tons of aerial bombs and artillery shells.  Furthermore, the Japanese also lack air superiority compared to Saipan.  Having lost a large number of fortifications, the Japanese defense line outside the city was in danger under the constant air strikes and bombings by the air force and artillery.  By the evening of that day, Xinmin garrison commander Kashiki Kohei, currently the commander of the Sixth Division, and his staff had begun to discuss abandoning the positions outside the city, holding on to the city wall, and fighting street battles with the Northeastern New Army.  After all, the losses of continuing to stand outside the city would be too great. Without air superiority and solid defenses, the imperial army was almost a living target for the artillery and air force of the Northeast New Army.  However, Junroku and Hashimoto Toranosuke, who were in Shenyang, firmly disagreed with them giving up their field positions outside the city.  Because they also knew that once the defense line outside the city was abandoned, the imperial army in the battle of Xinmin City would be completely passive.  Therefore, Shunroku strictly ordered Kohei Kashii to continue to persist, and at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the threat of the Northeast New Army Air Force no longer existed at night, he mobilized heavy troops from Fushun, Sujiatun and Dingtao and began to cross the river overnight to counterattack Guanjiapu.  An attempt was made to re-open the connection between the Japanese army in Shenyang and Xinmin City. As long as the two places were connected, the Japanese army could continue to hold on.  Shenyang and Xinmin are at loggerheads. Once Xinmin falls, Shenyang will not be able to hold on for long.  It’s night, on the frontal battlefield between Shenyang and Xinmin, the Northeast New Army’s day-long battle has just stopped.  Three thousand officers and soldiers of the Northeast New Army on the defensive position of the Liaohe River in Guanjiabao had just had dinner and were guarding the position in strict formation.  During the day, there were tank divisions blocking the front, and the air force threatened the other side of the Liao River. The Japanese army could not get through at all. The officers and soldiers of this infantry regiment had nothing to fight and had already had a good rest for the day.  Now the physical and mental strength of the officers and soldiers have returned to their best condition.  On the river, a cool breeze blew, making people shiver involuntarily.  This infantry regiment is affiliated to the 10th Division of the Northeast New Army. It is numbered Regiment 1. The regiment leader is the 10th Division Commander Gao Chu. A veteran named Ge Quanwu was brought out from the old 3rd Battalion.  Since there are two tank divisions deployed on the periphery in the southwest, the main defense direction of Ge Quanwu's regiment is across the Liaohe River.  He deployed the first battalion along the river bank, and all the machine gun and artillery units directly under the regiment were assigned to the first battalion to defend the river. The cavalry reconnaissance company was responsible for patrolling and guarding along the river bank.  The second battalion was deployed for defense facing the southwest, while the third battalion was kept in reserve.  The Liaohe River is 100 to 200 meters wide at its widest point and only tens of meters narrow at its narrowest point.  The river surface at the Liaohe River Bridge in Guanjiabao is about 70 meters wide.  Ge Quanwu regiment?The forward position is less than two hundred meters away from the river bank, which ensures that the river bank and the river surface are within the effective coverage range of their light and heavy firepower.  With such a close distance, if the Japanese army crossed the river on the other side, it would be impossible to hide the guard post of Ge Quanwu Regiment.  But the Japanese army obviously would not be so stupid as to cross the river on the other side of Guanjiapu.  They chose to cross the river in the upstream section three kilometers north of Guanjiabao.  However, as soon as the Japanese army crossed the border and was less than one brigade away, they were discovered by two patrolling cavalrymen from a reconnaissance company.  The cavalrymen opened fire and quickly launched signal flares into the night sky.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 200: The bloody battle at Guanjiapu

    Two scout cavalrymen, one fired violently with a submachine gun, and the other raised a pistol and fired a flare.  At the same time, they also turned their horses around alertly and ran towards the road they came from.  When about a thousand Japanese soldiers saw their whereabouts exposed, they immediately shot frequently with rifles and quickly chased after them.  Naturally, it was impossible for the two bandy-legged Japanese infantry to overtake the mounted New Army scouts.  The gunshots and signal flares had already alerted the Ge Quanwu Regiment. When the two cavalrymen rushed back to the regiment's position, the regiment leader Ge Quanwu had already led several battalion and company commanders to command the troops to prepare for battle.  "Commander, the Japanese are attacking!" One of the cavalrymen reined in their horses and shouted at the top of their lungs.  “How many Japs are there?” Ge Quanwu jumped out of the trench wearing a steel helmet and asked.  "I don't know. I can't see clearly in the dark. I guess there are at least a few hundred people. There are also movements on the river. I guess there will be more to come." Another cavalryman answered.  "Damn it, we can't let all the little devils cross the river and go ashore. You two immediately notify Commander Li and ask him to send a tank regiment over to help us drive the little devils down the river!" Ge Quanwu pointed at the two cavalrymen and ordered.  "Yes!" The two cavalrymen immediately turned their horses and followed the order.  Ge Quanwu turned around and shouted: "The first battalion stayed behind, the second battalion, and the third battalion were ready to attack with me. When the tank troops arrived, we rushed up and drove the little Japs into the river!" More than a thousand infantrymen began to charge.  In preparation, the riflemen began to pull out the bayonet and install it on the head of the gun with a cold expression.  The machine gunner put away the tripod used as a heavy machine gun, wrapped the metal bullet chain around his arm and neck, and could charge with the machine gun at any time.  After a while, about a hundred tanks arrived with a rumble.  Li Zhenyuan jumped down from a tank, "Commander Ge!" "Commander Li, are you here in person?" Ge Quanwu walked out of the trench somewhat unexpectedly.  "Well, how is the enemy's situation?" Li Zhenyuan finished speaking, and a burst of bullets suddenly flew over from the north of Guanjiabao.  “Ding, dong, bang, bang, bang…” Most of the bullets hit the tank’s defensive armor, and a series of dazzling sparks burst out in the dark night.  "Commander Li's news, the Japs are here." Ge Quanwu stepped forward with concern, and the two of them hunched over and quickly entered the trench.  Li Zhenyuan supported his crooked helmet, spat and cursed: "What a bastard, those stupid little devils came fast enough." While he was speaking, more than 200 general-purpose machine guns from the tank regiment were already firing.  , the intensive firepower was particularly dazzling in the dark night, like tongues of fire forming a scorching fire net. The powerful and intensive machine gun firepower stunned the pursuing Japanese soldiers, and most of them were stunned.  Being suppressed and unable to move forward, “Commander Ge, do you have any ideas?  What should we do?  "Li Zhenyuan looked at Ge Quanwu and asked, "My scouts reported that the Japanese troops chasing them should only be the vanguard of the Japanese troops, and the follow-up Japanese troops should still be behind. In order to prevent the Japanese from landing in large numbers, I suggest that we should immediately bring them with you.  With the tanks as the backbone, take the initiative to attack the Japanese. First defeat this group of Japanese pursuers, and then suppress the main Japanese force crossing the river and return to the east bank to ensure nothing goes wrong.  "Ge Quan Martial Arts. "Well, that's what I thought too. I'll lead the tank regiment in front, and you'll follow up with the infantry.  "Li Zhenyuan nodded. "Okay!  "As soon as Ge Quanwu nodded, Li Zhenyuan jumped out and ran towards his tank. "Fire cover!  "Ge Quanwu shouted sharply. Soon, Li Zhenyuan rushed to his tank and climbed up skillfully. At this time, the machine gunners were firing fiercely. "Commander, what should we do?  "A driver asked. "Don't stop, the whole regiment immediately started to attack the Japanese. This is just a small Japanese army.  "Li Zhenyuan ordered quickly. After speaking, he picked up the wireless walkie-talkie and started to give orders to other tanks. Soon, his orders were passed to other tanks. The tank soldiers started the tanks one after another, and the roar of the motors sounded again.  More than a hundred tanks roared towards the more than a thousand Japanese who were lying on the ground and exchanging fire with them. At this time, a round of illumination bombs was fired from the position of Ge Quanwu Regiment, and the bright illumination bombs instantly illuminated the night.  It was like daytime. With the help of flares, the tank regiment's machine gunners were able to shoot with greater accuracy, and dense bullets were accurately poured on the enemy's heads. The tank regiment had just started, and Ge Quanwu was holding a general-purpose machine gun.Standing up in vain, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, charge with me!" "Kill! Kill, charge!" More than a thousand New Army infantrymen jumped up one after another, shouting "kill Zhentian" and followed Ge Quanwu.  go out.  When Li Zhenyuan led the tank regiment to launch an assault, more than a thousand Japanese pursuing troops began to retreat hastily. They knew that on this flat river bank, there was no obstruction and no obstruction. Once the tank group rolled over, the generals waiting for them would  There will be only one end, and that is death.  Although the speed of tanks on flat roads was not as good as cars and war horses, it was much faster than the running speed of the Japanese infantry. Soon, the thousand or so Japanese soldiers were overtaken by Li Zhenyuan and a hundred No. 4 tanks.  The two general-purpose machine guns on each tank were firing on all cylinders, and countless Japanese soldiers fell down in droves without being able to evade them.  The distance of three kilometers passed in the blink of an eye, and more than half of the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers had been killed by Li Zhenyuan's tank regiment. At this time, hundreds more Japanese soldiers had already boarded the shore.  The hundreds of retreating Japanese soldiers dispersed them in an instant, causing chaos. The tank soldiers drove their tanks in pursuit, and the machine gunners fired machine guns indiscriminately.  The Japanese soldiers who could not escape kept making wailing sounds, and fell down after being shot like wheat.  Soon, Ge Quanwu arrived with two battalions of infantry. The infantry appeared in the gaps between the tanks and joined in the firepower relying on the tanks.  The weak firepower of the light machine guns and 38-meter rifles equipped by the Japs was unable to compete with the powerful firepower of the Northeastern New Army.  Under the powerful firepower of thousands of Garand rifles, submachine guns and hundreds of machine guns, the two thousand Japs who crossed the river were quickly slaughtered.  After eliminating the Japanese who crossed the river, Li Zhenyuan directed the tank crews to turn the tank around and fire towards the east bank. After the vehicle-mounted machine gun replaced its ammunition belt, it continued to fire.  The river surface, which is less than 100 meters away, is completely within the range of the powerful and effective firepower of the new Northeast Army officers and soldiers.  The Japanese soldiers on the other side waiting for the boat to cross the river suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and all the wooden boats and rubber boats that the Japanese hurriedly assembled on the river were destroyed.  The tank artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour. Most of the large amounts of river crossing equipment prepared by the Japanese army on the east bank were destroyed. The crossing operation failed completely, and they evacuated one after another.  Until dawn, in Shenyang City, the Japanese Army Headquarters.  A Japanese major general’s arm was wrapped in gauze and hung on his chest. There was faint blood spilling from the gauze.  Junliu was slapping the Japanese major general's face left and right.  Every time he was hit, Junliu would get angry and yell, "Baga."  After a while, the Japanese Major General's face swelled into pig heads.  However, even though the Japanese major general was beaten, he still had to keep his head down and yowling, and he would always stand his head upright to bear Junliu's anger.  Junliu beat the hapless Japanese major general dozens of times before finally calming down and flopping down on the chair, panting.  At this time, Hashimoto Toranosuke waved his hand to the Japanese major general responsible for last night's operation and motioned for him to leave.  The Japanese Major General, as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly bowed his head and retreated.  "General, don't be angry, your health is important. Although the operation failed last night, we still have a chance." Hashimoto Toranosuke comforted him.  Junliu said with a gloomy face: "Is there still a chance? The imperial army's outer positions in Xinmin City are already in danger. The operation failed last night. Xinmin City will definitely not be able to hold on today. If Xinmin falls, Shenyang will fall into a passive situation of being surrounded on three sides.  "It's unclear whether we can last for a month!" "General, do you have any good ideas?" Hashimoto Toranosuke asked tentatively.  "Use the aviation force to recapture Guanjiabao and re-open the connection between Xinmin and Shenyang." After finishing speaking, Junroku looked at Hashimoto Toranosuke and said: "Hashimoto-kun, I have to leave this matter to you. I hope you can convince Commander Muto  Your Majesty, please give him a detailed report on the serious situation we are facing now, and please be sure to send the aviation force." Hashimoto Toranosuke nodded in disbelief upon hearing this.  In Xinmin City, the sky had just brightened, and Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu ordered their troops to attack the Japanese army again.  The artillery fired first.  Looking at the rumbling gunfire outside Xinmin City, Wang Yizhe said to Gao Chu: "Commander Gao, I heard that the Japanese tried to sneak across the Liao River from the north bank last night. Fortunately, our army discovered it in time and beat them back. It seems that the Japanese were already anxious.  The commander-in-chief ordered us to capture the Japanese outer positions in Xinmin today and completely surround Xinmin City. "Don't worry, sir. I will personally rush to the front line later to command the officers and soldiers of my 9th Division."The attack is bound to break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop and surround Xinmin City.  Gao Chu stood up and said solemnly. Wang Yizhe nodded noncommittally, raised his telescope and continued to observe the effects of his own artillery bombardment.  The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. However, just when they were about to completely break through the Japanese defense line in the northwest, thousands more Japanese troops suddenly emerged from the city. With the addition of these thousands of Japanese troops, the shaky Japanese defense line was stabilized.  Gao Chu, who came to the front line to command in person, was very surprised when he saw this: "Damn it, what kind of song is this little devil singing?  Could it be that they even sent in the reserve team?  ” ps: The rain stopped for less than an hour. The electricity came at about 7 o’clock and stopped again at 9 o’clock because of the severe thunder. The laptop was charged for two hours, which was barely enough to finish writing this chapter.  , the room is really too hot. In order to support me in writing this chapter, my wife has been fanning me in the back for almost half an hour. If she doesn’t call me later, that’s all for today. Tomorrow.  After returning from the funeral, I will go all out to code words. Thank you to all the brothers who voted for me and gave rewards for your support. Time is tight so I won’t list them one by one.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 201: Encircling the New People

    While the Japanese troops in Xinmin City sent aid at all costs, a large number of Japanese troops in the direction of Shenyang once again began to approach the east bank of the Liao River, trying to cross the river again.  <－》 Ge Quanwu Regiment immediately prepared for battle and quickly informed Li Zhenyuan, asking him to mobilize more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles to strengthen patrols and security forces along the river.  However, the Japanese on the east bank were not in a hurry to cross the river.  After more than half an hour, a deafening roar of an engine suddenly came from the distant sky in the southeast.  Ge Quanwu immediately raised the telescope, adjusted the focus and looked into the sky. Soon, the target in the telescope quickly became larger, and Ge Quanwu's pupils dilated.  <h1></h1> Put down the telescope, turned around and shouted: "Enemy plane, enemy plane is attacking, get down quickly and prepare for air defense!" As soon as Ge Quanwu's order was conveyed, dozens of Japanese planes roared and dived from high altitude.  Come.  The dozen or so Japanese fighter jets in the lead sent out scorching and dazzling tongues of flames, and dense bullets poured like raindrops onto the Ge Quan Martial Regiment's position.  Suddenly snowflakes were flying and mud was splashing everywhere.  The Japanese fighter jets swooped and strafed past, followed closely by more than twenty land-based and sea-based aviation bombers.  "Boom, boom, boom" Violent explosions occurred wherever the bomber passed, and huge fireballs rose from the ground accompanied by billowing thick smoke.  With the arrival of our own air force, the Japanese army immediately divided into groups and began a large-scale river crossing operation.  A tank regiment sent by Li Zhenyuan was harassed by Japanese air raids and had no time to take care of the Japanese crossing the river.  Soon, a large number of Japanese soldiers crossed the Liaohe River, which was only a hundred meters wide, from several locations.  With the command swords of the Japanese commanders, thousands of Japanese began to attack Ge Quan's regiment from the north and south of the west bank.  The purpose of the Japanese was very clear, to first deal with the Ge Quanwu Regiment, seize their field fortifications, and then repel the armored units of the Northeast New Army under the cover of the air force.  This will open up the connection between Shenyang and Xinmin, and quickly repair the Liaohe River Bridge and build a pontoon bridge.  Ge Quanwu shook his head and shook off the dirt from his head and back.  He raised his head and looked outside the position in the north and south directions.  "I saw a dense mass of Japanese soldiers everywhere, rushing toward them with 38-type rifles with bayonets attached.  Ge Quanwu's eyes tightened, and he shouted in a stern voice: "The little devils are coming up, prepare to meet the enemy!" The officers and soldiers of Ge Quanwu's regiment, who had originally hid in the trench fortifications of the station, climbed up from the trenches one after another after hearing this, carrying various rifles,  The submachine guns and machine guns were set up again.  When the officers and soldiers of the Ge Quanwu Regiment were ready, the Japanese army had already entered the firing range, and their light and heavy machine guns and small-caliber mortars had opened fire one after another.  "Brothers, beat me hard. If Guanjiapu is lost, the entire regiment will be below me. No one in the group will have the fucking shame to go back to see the commander. In one word, fight to the end!" Ge Quanwu personally wielded an mg34 general-purpose machine gun and shouted sternly.  roar.  <h1></h1> "Click, click, click" The general machine gun roared suddenly, and the hot bullets poured out in a fan shape like splashing water.  Other officers and soldiers also opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets immediately swept down the Japanese soldiers who were charging in groups to the ground in pieces.  Tieling City, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  "Commander, it's not good. Guanjiabao is in emergency. The Japanese dispatched a large number of aircraft. Not only did they air attack the Ge Quanwu Regiment position where I was stationed in Guanjiabao, but they also caused great trouble to our two tank divisions. At the same time. Xinmin,  The Japanese troops in front of Shenyang also strengthened their forces and launched several counterattacks against our frontal attacking troops." Li Guocai walked quickly to Zhang Xinghan with the message in hand.  reported loudly.  Zhang Xinghan looked stern when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Order the pilots to attack immediately,&#x52a1; I will shoot down all the Japanese planes attacking Guanjiapu.  Ge Quanwu and Li Zhenyuan were ordered by telegram to stick to Guanjiapu at all costs. If Guanjiapu is lost at this juncture, I will shoot them.  "    "yes!  "Li Guocai had never seen Zhang Xinghan speak in such a stern tone. He immediately stood up to salute and left in response. "Wait a minute.  " "Commander, do you have any other instructions?  " " Send electricity to Wang Yizhe again. The West Route Army must seize all the outer positions of Xinmin City before dark today, meet with Ge Quan's military regiment in Guanjiabao, and completely encircle Xinmin City. Tell Commander Wang that this battle is an important turning point in the Shenyang Battle.  All officers and men in the army should strive to move forward bravely. Anyone who retreats without orders, regardless of rank or position, can be executed on the spot!  "Zhang Xinghan's tone was so cold that Li Guocai shuddered. "Yes!  "Li Guocai stood up and saluted again, and immediately took the order and left. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li Guocai stood up immediately and said: "Guard battalion, assemble immediately, follow me to the front line.  " "Master, do you want to go to the front line?  "The communications soldier asked with concern. "The commander's order has been issued. As the commander of a division, I should rush to the front line and fight side by side with the soldiers of the whole division!  "Wang Yizhe said righteously. "However, Commander Gao has personally led the team to participate in the attack. You are the commander-in-chief of our West Route Army.  "The communications soldier looked confused. "What happened to the commander-in-chief?  The commander said, this battle cannot be won, and no one can take a fucking step back. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished. Please convey this order to all regiments immediately, and electrify the entire division. If any regiment dares to do anything,  If anyone retreats without authorization, he will be questioned by the regimental commander.  "Wang Yizhe said. "Yes!  "The communications soldier quickly saluted and turned to leave. Wang Yizhe and his guard battalion immediately left Zhangwu and rushed to the Xinmin front line under heavy artillery fire. After a while, Wang Yizhe led his guard battalion to the former enemy headquarters to meet with the independent &  #x7acb;The commander of the 9th Division, Gao Chu, met up.  "Mr. Gao, how is the situation?" Wang Yizhe asked after saluting.  <h1></h1> “Damn it, forget it, the little devil is like crazy, it’s a completely lifeless style of play. Our division’s several attacks are about to succeed, and the little devil uses a lot of fucking  The troops were exhausted," Gao Chu said a little depressed.  "Have you received the strict orders issued by the commander to each division? There are many words in Baixiaosheng.com," Wang Yizhe asked again.  "Yes, I received it." Gao Chu nodded.  "How is it going? What do you think?" Wang Yizhe asked, raising his telescope.  "From the overall perspective of the Shenyang Battle, Xinmin City is extremely important to both the Japanese and us. Considering the overall situation, it is reasonable for the commander to have such a strict order." Gao Chu said.  "I know this. What I mean is, do you have any good ideas?" Wang Yizhe said.  "The total strength of the Japs in Xinmin City is at least 50,000. After the losses in these battles, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 left. If we fight hard, even if we can win, we will have to pay an unimaginable price of casualties.  If we suffer too many casualties, Xinmin City may be lost again. Therefore, I suggest that Li Zhenyuan immediately lead a tank division from the north of the city to assist our tank regiments in forming a powerful assault group to break through the Japanese army from the front.  Let’s talk about the siege of Xinmin City. The tank division has hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. With their participation, no matter how desperate the little devil is, his flesh and blood will not be able to stop our attack of steel." Gao Chudao.  "Deploy Li Zhenyuan's tank division?" Wang Yizhe said worriedly: "Li Zhenyuan's department was embarrassed by the Japanese air raid. Now the Japanese have concentrated a large number of troops to storm Guanjiabao. He and Ge Quanwu have too much to take care of themselves now, right?  Xiaosheng.com can still mobilize troops to assist us? "" Explain the pros and cons to Li Zhenyuan, I think he will agree to reinforce us," Gao Chu said: "But the Guanjiabao position is in danger0;  " "No matter what, let's try it.  "Wang Yizhe said after thinking about it for a while.  Guanjiabao, a fierce battle is going on. Li Zhenyuan's two tank divisions have to guard against the Japanese troops in Xinmin City on the one hand. On the other hand, they have to deal with the Japanese aerial attack. Okay  When the fighter groups of the two own flying regiments arrived in time, two armored anti-aircraft regiments were assisting the air force in attacking the Japanese air force. Two tank regiments were guarding Xinmin City, and the other two tank regiments drove to the position of the Ge Quanwu Regiment.  , to assist the infantry in resisting the Japanese attack. The officers and soldiers of the Ge Quanwu Regiment used two hundred tanks and vehicles as solid bunkers. With the cooperation of four hundred vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns, they formed a dense and powerful cross-fire network from the north and south.  Under this powerful firepower, the Japanese soldiers fell in pieces. Since the Japanese army had landed on a large scale, the number of troops was at least tens of thousands, and there was air force cover, so it was already difficult to drive the Japanese soldiers into the river.  It's not realistic. Although the tank regiment can destroy the enemy on the move, after the Japanese invaders land and approach on such a large scale, the opportunity for a mobile assault is lost. After all, two hundred tanks are still very small among the crowd of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.  If the Japanese army encircles them, the consequences will be unimaginable. Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades may cause the tanks to break down on the spot. Therefore, Li Zhenyuan made decisive arrangements to surround Ge Quanwu's defensive position and build a steel defense line to assist Ge Quanwu in blocking the fierce firepower.  From time to time, the machine gunners on the tank were shot and killed, or were hit by Japanese shrapnel. Whenever someone was killed, the infantrymen in the trenches would bravely climb onto the tank and push away the bodies of their comrades.  , and continued to fire with the parallel machine gun, an armored communications soldier crouched down the trench and quickly came to Li Zhenyuan and reported: "Commander, General Wang Yizhe is calling  " Li Zhenyuan is the commander of the armored company directly under the headquarters of the 7th Independent Brigade, and can be regarded as Wang Yizhe's old subordinate. " What are your instructions, senior officer?  "Li Zhenyuan turned around and asked. "General Wang asked you, Commander, to bring a tank division over and cooperate with them to break through the Japanese frontal defense line first, then complete the encirclement of Xinmin City and open up communication with Guanjiabao.  "The communication lowered his head and replied. PS: I came back at about four o'clock in the afternoon. The network has not been working. People from the telecommunications bureau also came and said that my cat might have been damaged by lightning. Fortunately, I have a wireless network card. But the house is leaking.  It rained all night, and after just two hours of use, it got a message that the balance was insufficient. I went crazy and asked friends in various groups to help me recharge. (Online banking was so hard that I had no money.) I just got it done. I would like to thank my good friend Shuangfei.  When I finish these days, I will thank you very much!

    "Commander, what should we do? Should we go or not?" the communications soldier asked.  <-> Li Zhenyuan pondered for a while and said: "You wait here first, I will go find Commander Ge." After saying that, Li Zhenyuan followed the trench to Ge Quanwu, who was fighting on the front line.  Patting Ge Quanwu on the shoulder, Li Zhenyuan shouted loudly: "Commander Ge, I have something to ask you." Ge Quanwu stopped shooting, squatted down and turned around to see Li Zhenyuan, and asked hurriedly: "Commander Li, what can I do for you?"<  "Commander Ge, I want to bring a tank division to support the West Route Army's attack on Xinmin City. I can only leave you with one tank division. You must pay close attention to the Japanese in Xinmin City who take the opportunity to attack and attack your troops with their troops crossing the river." Li Zhenyuan said.  He said with a worried face.  Ge Quanwu immediately expressed his stance: "Commander Li, please rest assured. Our regiment, from Ge down, has long been prepared to die for righteousness and to die for the country. If the little Japs want to capture Guanjia Fort, they will have to step over our corpses."  In a word, we are here!" "Well done, we are here!" Li Zhenyuan patted Ge Quanwu on the shoulder: "Take care, I hope we can all enter Shenyang City alive!" "Yes!" Ge Quanwu nodded solemnly.  .  ……………… Xinmin City Japanese Army Headquarters.  A Japanese chief of staff walked in hurriedly, stood up to attention and saluted Commander Kashii Kohei: "Your Excellency, General, a tank unit of the Chinese Army in the direction of Guanjiapu has left and is heading towards Xinmin City via Renjiapu.  "Go to the north." "Oh? So the Chinese tank unit in the northeast of Xinmin has been transferred?" Kashiki Kohei asked slightly surprised.  "Yes, General." The Japanese staff officer nodded and said: "Now the Chinese Army in Guanjiapu is trying its best to resist the siege of the Shenyang Imperial Army's crossing troops, and the only tank troops are used in defensive battles." "Youxi, please inform me.  The Ono Regiment immediately left the city, launched an attack on Guanjiapu, and cooperated with the Shenyang reinforcements to capture Guanjiapu and completely annihilate the Chinese defenders here!" Kashii Kohei said immediately.  "But, General, the Ono Regiment is already our last reserve force. If the front line is in emergency again, we will have no troops to send." The Japanese staff officer said with some worry: "You know, the team that left Guanjiapu  It is very likely that the Chinese tank troops will join the frontal battlefield and participate in the attack on Xinmin. "It depends on whether we capture Guanjiapu first or the Chinese take the lead in breaking through our defense line. As long as Guanjiapu is captured."  Military reinforcements will continue to arrive in Xinmin. Therefore, the troops on the front line are ordered to fight to the end and must persist until the reinforcements arrive. "Kashii Kohei said in a serious tone.  "Hai!" The Japanese staff officer lowered his head suddenly, turned around and took the order.  ……………………… The former enemy command post of the West Route Army.  Li Zhenyuan was wearing an armored uniform, holding his helmet and striding in.  "Old sir!" Li Zhenyuan smiled and saluted Wang Yizhe, who was discussing the war situation with Gao Chu around the map.  Gao Chu and Wang Yizhe turned around after hearing the sound. Wang Yizhe suddenly smiled and said: "Oh, Zhenyuan. Your kid is here? That's great." "Well, the old chief has an order, how dare Zhenyuan not come?"  Li Zhenyuan smiled and said: "Sir, if you have any tasks, just give me your instructions." "Okay, the war situation is urgent, so we won't talk about old times. There will be many opportunities after the war." Wang Yizhe said, pulling Li Zhenyuan.  He walked to the map, pointed at it and said: "Look, the Japanese defense line outside Xinmin. The main support points are 056,067 highlands in the north and west directions of the city. The terrain here is slightly higher, and the infantry charges on a large scale.  If you feign an attack, you will be vulnerable to large-scale destruction by the enemy's intensive firepower. I asked you to come here because I want to use your tank division's superior assault capability to crush the enemy's outer defense line from the front. I had already discussed this with Division Commander Gao before you came.  Okay, let's gather all the tank regiments directly under our two divisions and assign them to you. In terms of the use of this tank unit, Zhenyuan, you are a professional and much better than us. " Li Zhenyuan nodded.934; humbly said: "Old sir, thank you very much. When it comes to the use of this tank and armored force, no one in our Northeastern New Army can be trusted by Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Zhenyuan also benefited a lot from following him." "Okay,  Don't be modest. You also know that our West Route Army does not have an advantage over the Japanese. With such a force, we can imagine the difficulty of besieging the Japanese army, which is even stronger than ours. Therefore, we can imagine the difficulty of our two divisions before.  The tank regiments have been split up to assist the various troops in the attack, and the strength is not superior. Without the support of the tank troops, we will not be able to fight this battle. Now I am allocating all the tank troops to you, just in the hope that we can concentrate them.  With this force, we can break through the Japanese defense line in the north of the city in one fell swoop, thereby dismantling all the Japanese outer defense lines and completing the strategic goal of encircling Xinmin City," Wang Yizhe said.  Li Zhenyuan said with deep approval: "As long as the Japanese defense line in the north of the city is broken, the reinforcements from your West Route Army can rush to Guanjiapu at any time. By then, the Japanese defense lines in the southwest and southwest will be broken."  , Li Zhenyuan stood up and said: "Old sir, please rest assured, Li Zhenyuan will fulfill his mission and will definitely capture the 056,067 heights!" "Well, take care!" Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu both returned the gift and did not forget to tell them.  North of Xinmin City, 056,067 Highland Battlefield, These are two connected ordinary slopes. Normally, it is really not surprising here. However, the Japanese have built a large number of defenses on these two not-so-high highlands. They have already moved this place.  It became an important support point for the northern defense line of the city.  Behind the two highlands is the North Gate of Xinmin. The Japanese reinforcements can arrive very quickly and provide timely reinforcements.  Li Zhenyuan called the leaders of the four tank regiments together, had a brief communication and discussion, and then ordered to prepare for the attack.  In order to ensure that the attack was successful, Wang Yizhe mobilized an elite reinforcement battalion from the entire division to follow the coordinated tank troops in the charge.  The first to open fire was the heavy artillery group of the West Route Army&#xff0c; The main attack direction this time was the Japanese defense line in the north of the city, so the powerful artillery fire from the four artillery regiments all fell on high ground 056,067.  "Boomboom" For a moment, the Japanese's already fragmented position was once again plunged into a sea of ??fire.  From time to time, Japanese soldiers were blown away in the fire.  The shelling lasted for more than half an hour, when the artillery fire began to extend.  Li Zhenyuan immediately picked up the radio and issued an attack order to hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles from four tank regiments.  With the order given, hundreds of No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles suddenly roared into action, heading towards Highland 056,067.  < At this time, the gunpowder smoke on the high ground had not cleared, and the surviving Japanese soldiers shot completely based on intuition.  Being blocked by sporadic Japanese fire, the tanks and armored soldiers immediately opened fire back.  The powerful machine gun fire and tank artillery bombardment immediately annihilated the scattered Japanese resistance.  Behind the tank troops, about a thousand infantry lined up in a skirmish line and rushed up to the high ground with shouts and shouts.  When a flag bearer planted a blue sky and white sun flag on Highland 067, the entire army cheered thunderously.  The tank troops did not stop and continued to crush forward with powerful assault firepower that swept everything.  All the Japanese who tried to block the attack were eliminated one after another by artillery shells and machine gun shells.  In the headquarters, Wang Yizhe punched the fortifications hard: "Well done, order the third regiment to rush forward immediately, consolidate the defense line, and expand the results!" He has been fighting with the Japanese army repeatedly for a long time, and has personally experienced the independence of Highland 056 and 067 that changed hands repeatedly.  The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division immediately burst into earth-shattering shouts of killing and quickly surged up to the high ground like a tide.  While Li Zhenyuan led his troops to attack the Japanese defense line in the north of Xinmin City, the enemy was in the direction of Guanjiabao.  Ge Quanwu Regiment has been surrounded by Japanese troops on three sides and is fighting bloody battles.  The number of Japs is increasing, and the machine gunners on many tanks have been killed or injured.  Seeing that the Japanese were about to charge forward, an infantryman became timid after witnessing the tragic death of countless comrades in arms&#65292;Want to retreat.  But as soon as he took two steps back, he was kicked to the ground by Ge Quanwu. Ge Quanwu's eyes were red and he roared: "Damn it, either we will die today or Japan will die. If anyone takes another fucking step back, the guards will even  I will kill them without mercy!" "Yes!" Dozens of surviving guards responded in unison, carrying submachine guns.  After saying that, Ge Quanwu personally jumped on a tank, pushed away the bodies of the two machine gunners, set up a general-purpose machine gun and continued to fire.  The soldier who had been kicked to the ground by Ge Quanwu had already gotten up. He couldn't care less. He could only roar and shoot forward wildly with the semi-automatic rifle in his hand.  "Ammunition hand, give me an ammunition hand." Ge Quanwu fired for a while, then turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs.  A rifle bullet fired from nowhere suddenly hit his left arm, and he was unaware that he was still shouting for the ammunition hand.  One of the guards shouted with astonishment, "Come here, regiment." Then he hung his submachine gun around his neck and climbed onto the tank as fast as he could. However, just as he climbed up, a hot bullet hit him impartially.  on his forehead.  The guard's body slumped, and his hands that were holding on to the tank body slowly let go due to the rapid loss of strength, and he turned over and fell down.  "Happy son!" Ge Quanwu was filled with grief and anger.  At this time, another guard climbed up with a submachine gun as nimble as an ape, helped Ge Quanwu reload the ammunition battery, and dragged the ammunition chain for him to facilitate smooth shooting.  "Little devil, come on!" Ge Quanwu looked like he was crazy, he picked up the machine gun and fired violently.  The hot bullets immediately spurted out from the muzzle, forming dazzling tongues of flame.  The Japanese soldiers who were charging in groups suddenly fell down in pieces, howling miserably.  ps: I went to bed yesterday and have nothing to do today.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 203: The reinforcements finally fucking arrived

    "Your Excellency, General, it's not good. The defense line outside the city has completely collapsed. The Chinese are encircling and blockading Xinmin City. General, please evacuate as soon as possible!" In Xinmin City, a Japanese colonel staff officer said to Kashii Kohei anxiously.  <-> "Bagaya Road!" Kashii Kohei was furious when he heard this. He slapped the staff officer until the corner of his mouth bled, and said angrily: "The Imperial Army of Japan is invincible. As the emperor's warriors, we must not  Escape cowardly and order the troops to immediately organize a counterattack!" The Japanese colonel covered his swollen left face and said with some grievance and despair: "Our defense line in the north of the city has been broken through by the Chinese, and all 056 and 067 heights have been lost.  With tanks and armored vehicles as the forerunners, we quickly made roundabout assaults in the southwest and two directions, expanding the breach to an irreparable point. Our army was attacked from both sides, and the defense line completely collapsed. Now the remnants of each regiment have withdrawn into the city, and their vitality has been severely damaged. Ono Alliance.  The team was ordered to participate in the siege of Guanjiabao. We have no way to fight back! "What's the situation in Guanjiabao now?" Kashii Kohei asked eagerly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.  .  "The fighting is still fierce. The remnants of the Chinese army in Guanjiapu are resisting very tenaciously. The imperial army has paid an extremely heavy price in casualties and has not yet been able to completely wipe them out." The Japanese staff officer lowered his head and said.  "Haga!" Kashii Kohei glared and gritted his teeth. He pulled out his command sword with a swipe, raised his hands and slashed it towards the conference table in front of him.  The sharp saber directly cut off a corner of the wooden conference table.  Kashii Kohei was still not relieved, he raised his foot and kicked over the incomplete conference table, as if he was crazy.  "Your Excellency, General, I believe that the most urgent task at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that the Chinese have not yet completed the encirclement of Xinmin City. We should contact the reinforcements of the imperial army and the Ono Regiment that besieged Guanjiabao, and ask them to support us in abandoning the city and breaking out." Japanese staff officer  He lowered his head and persuaded again.  Kashii Kohei pondered for a while.  Suddenly he said with a ferocious face: "I said, we can't be cowards who run away. Besides, it's not the last moment yet. The imperial army has not lost yet. Send a message to General Hata Shunroku immediately. The battle of Xinmin has reached the final critical moment. Please ask him  Quickly send a telegram to the reinforcements besieging Guanjiapu, end the battle of Guanjiapu as soon as possible, and rush to the aid of the new people while the Chinese are still on their toes. If we cooperate internally and externally, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. " "But, General, we have what we have in hand.  The troops are already stretched thin, so what can we do to counterattack?" asked the Japanese staff officer.  "Although our vitality is severely damaged, how can the Chinese people fare better? They are just at the end of their strength. As long as the reinforcements can capture Guanjiapu within half an hour, they can free up their hands to help the new people and cooperate with us inside and outside.  . We will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and defeat the China Army!" Kashiki Kohei vowed.  ……………… Shenyang City, Japanese Army Headquarters.  Chief of Staff Noda Cugu reported anxiously to Shunroku Hata with a telegram in hand: "Your Excellency, General, all the outer positions of Xinmin City have been breached by the Chinese Army. Commander Kashii sent an urgent message for help." Shunroku Hata reached out to take the telegram, opened it and read it hastily.  Once, he immediately said: "Order the troops crossing the river to deal with the remaining enemies of Guanjiabao within half an hour. Rush to the rescue of the new people quickly, without any mistakes!" "Hai!" Noda Cugu suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around with a saber in his hand to accept the order.  And go.  ………………………… Tieling.  The former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  Li Guocai held a piece of telegram in his hand and hurried to the conference room. He stood up to attention and saluted Zhang Xinghan, who was frowning in front of the map, and said, "Commander, the West Route Army and Guanjiabao Ge Quanwu Regiment have sent urgent messages." "Oh.  ? How is the progress of the West Route Army and Guanjiapu?" Zhang Xinghan asked sideways after hearing this.  "With the assistance of a tank division of our Armored Group Army, the West Route Army has broken through all the peripheral positions of the Japanese army in the Xinmin people, occupied them, and is conducting an encirclement attack on the Xinmin people." After Li Guocai finished speaking, he continued with a somewhat solemn tone: "However,  The Ge Quanwu regiment in Guanjiabao has been in a bitter battle for a long time. This is the latest urgent message from Commander Ge Quanwu. "Is it asking for help?"  Zhang Xinghan received the message with confusion.  Li Guocai shook his head: "No, it's a farewell." Zhang Xinghan's heart sank. He took the telegram and opened it, and saw that the telegram read: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang has made it clear that our regiment and the Second Tank Division are currently guarding Guanjiapu.  Already surrounded by Japanese troops&#x91cd; The siege lasted for a long time, the situation was critical, and there was no hope of breaking out. In order to repay the favor of the country, I humbly determined to lead all the remaining officers and soldiers of our regiment to fight the enemy in bloody battles to the end. Guanjia Fort was of great importance, and the rest of us should fight to the last shot and kill, lest the strategic overall situation  The disadvantage is that before all our troops are killed, the commander-in-chief can send a brigade of reinforcements to guard this strategic location!  Ge Quanwu, January 25, the 22nd year of the Republic of China.  " After Zhang Xinghan read it, he immediately slapped the message on the table, stood up and shouted: "Immediately send a message to Li Zhenyuan and order him to speed up the tank division to return to Guanjiapu. This order is extremely urgent and must not be mistaken. At the same time, send a message to Huang Xiansheng to order independence.  The 1st Division immediately set out from Jilin and headed straight for Fushun, preparing to encircle Shenyang.  "    "yes!  "Li Guocai promised with a bang, saluted, and turned to leave. As soon as Li Guocai left, a familiar figure walked in with a high head. Zhang Xinghan said with surprise: "Hey, Chief of Staff, why are you here?  "Commander, I heard from my humble post that Commander sent troops to surprise Guanjiapu. I have something important to discuss with the Commander face to face."  "Jiang Baili saluted. "Oh?  What important matter can't be explained clearly on the phone, and the chief of staff needs to come overnight?  "Zhang Xinghan said curiously. "Commander, how is the Xinmin War going now?  "Jiang Baili did not answer the question. "Guanjiabao fell into a tight siege by the Japanese army, and Ge Quanwu Regiment and the Second Tank Division were still fighting bloody battles.  However, the Xinmin Japanese Army's outer defense line has been completely breached by our West Route Army.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Oh, fortunately, as long as Guanjiatun is still in our hands and Xinmin has been surrounded by our army, then my trip to Tieling is not unnecessary.  "Jiang Baili breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now that the battle on the outskirts of Xinmin is over, the commander can quickly send a telegram to the West Route Army to rush to Guanjiapu.  " "Well, I have already sent an order to Li Zhenyuan.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked again: "The chief of staff hasn't said yet what matters you want to discuss with me when you come to Tieling?"  "    "Is such that.  "Jiang Baili walked to&#x5730; In front of the map, he pointed at the map and looked sideways at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, please see, once our army gains a foothold in Guanjiapu, takes down the Japanese army's outer defense line of Xinmin, and encircles Xinmin, the Japanese army in Xinmin City will become  The turtle in the urn is doomed. Before talking about the specific plan, Baili has to praise you, commander. Your surprise attack on Guanjiabao is really clever. It is simply a move that hits the key to the victory or defeat of Shenyang. " Said this,  Jiang Baili got to the point: "First of all, it is only a matter of time before Xinmin is captured by our army. For the Japanese, after losing Xinmin, the Battle of Shenyang will undoubtedly be defeated. Xinmin and Shenyang are closely dependent on each other. This is the truth to me.  I think both the enemy and us understand that the Japanese are fighting for Guanjiapu at all costs. Therefore, Baili has a suggestion, which is to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Shenyang on the north bank of the Hun River as much as possible, and strive to complete their victory in one battle.  , to reduce the resistance our army may encounter when moving south." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan said as if he had some understanding.  "Deploy elite troops to attack Fushun and Sujiatun in a roundabout way, cutting off the Japanese army's retreat in the Shenyang area." Jiang Baili said.  "Well, the Chief of Staff is far-sighted and thought of it together with me. To tell you the truth, just now, I sent a telegram to Huang Jingzhong to lead the independent 1st Division south from Jilin and attack Fushun." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "  As for the attack on Sujiatun again, this can only be carried out after the siege of Guanjiabao is solved. "Jiang Baili was very surprised and said with a solemn look on his face: "It turns out that the commander had already planned it, but Baili was a bit out of his way." "  Chief of Staff, there is no need to be too humble. In terms of strategic vision, you are not inferior to me. Together, you and I can wipe out the Japanese troops outside the pass and reorganize the country," Zhang Xinghan said with high spirits.  ?????????Guanjiabao, the riverside position of the Northeast New Army.  Ge Quan's martial arts regiment has lost more than three-quarters of its casualties. At this moment, she is leading the remaining few hundred0010;The remaining soldiers and the armored soldiers of the Second Tank Division relied on tanks and armored vehicles to make the final resistance.  In this battle, not only did Ge Quanwu Regiment lose three-quarters of its 2,000 officers and soldiers, but the armored tank crews of the Second Tank Division also suffered extremely heavy losses, especially the machine gunners, who were almost completely lost.  However, the Japanese troops lost far more troops than they did, because the Japanese corpses outside their position could almost pile up into hills.  "Commander, our regiment is about to be wiped out." After repelling another fierce Japanese attack, a guard covered in blood cried to Ge Quanwu.  "Shut up, I said it before the war started, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang gave repeated orders that even if we kill the whole regiment, we can't lose Guanjia Fort." Ge Quanwu wiped the blood and mud on his forehead and said: "  Besides, our main force has surrounded Xinmin and will soon surround Shenyang. As long as we can restore the good rivers and mountains in our northeast, it will be worth it even if we fight it all." "You are right, this battle is worth it, you see.  Outside the position, a small number of us killed thousands of little Japs, and that’s enough for us!" said another captain with gauze on his head.  Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire from the southwest, shouts of death, the sound of gunfire and the roar of motors one after another.  Ge Quanwu and others stood up immediately after hearing this. When a blue sky and white sun flag appeared in sight, a guard said excitedly: "Regiment, it's the reinforcements. Our reinforcements have arrived." Ge Quanwu's eyes were red, and he stared closely at the follower.  The eye-catching military flag fluttering in the wind, he nodded excitedly: "Here we are, the reinforcements are finally fucking here."

    "Click, click, click" Hundreds of Panzer IV tanks and armed armored vehicles roared over with tongues of fire spitting out.  <－》 Behind them, thousands of Northeastern New Army infantrymen rushed forward with rifles and machine guns.  Every soldier roared at the top of his lungs to vent his excitement and fear of death, which is commonly known as courage.  The sudden arrival of reinforcements immediately threw the Japanese into chaos, especially the Ono regiment that participated in the siege of Guanjiabao from the west, and was the first to bear the brunt.  Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles charged at full speed, with fierce firepower and unparalleled defensive armor capabilities, like a group of steel torrents, enough to crush anything that dared to stand in the way.  The Great Master was caught off guard and the Japanese soldiers fell down in groups one after another, with miserable howls coming one after another.  Soon, the Ono regiment could no longer resist and fled in all directions, but the thousands of infantry who followed up gave them a devastating blow.  After defeating the Ono Regiment, Li Zhenyuan personally led the tank and armored forces and finally reunited with the Ge Quanwu Regiment and the Second Tank Division, which had almost suffered casualties.  After handing over the command to the commander of the First Tank Division, the tank driven by Li Zhenyuan stopped. He quickly jumped out and saw Ge Quanwu with an injured arm in the distance.  "Brother Ge, are you okay? There are a lot of words on the net." Li Zhenyuan trotted over.  Ge Quanwu, who was surviving the disaster, felt all kinds of emotions in his heart and was speechless for a moment.  It wasn't until Li Zhenyuan came to him that he nodded and said with tears in his eyes: "It's okay, I'm okay." "I'm sorry, brother, I came late and made you injured." Li Zhenyuan said apologetically.  "It's okay. Just come. Just come. My regiment has finally left some seeds. Otherwise, I will break the precedent since the formation of our Northeast New Army. You must know that we have never had an entire regiment die in battle.  An example." Ge Quanwu smiled bitterly.  Li Zhenyuan went up and hugged his shoulders and said: "Good brother, Xinmin City has been surrounded by us. You and the brothers in your regiment have made great contributions." As the two said, they walked out of the building composed of tanks and armored vehicles.  Fortifications, I saw that on the battlefield, the already exhausted Japanese army had begun to retreat, and our own tanks, armored troops, and infantry had begun to pursue them.  The Japanese soldiers were unable to retreat in time and trampled on each other on the river bank. They were confused and killed by the pursuing troops of the Northeastern New Army.  Less than one-third eventually fled back to the east coast.  ……………… Tieling City, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  "Commander, Li Zhenyuan has called. He led his troops to rush to the rescue in time and has solved the siege of Guanjiapu. The Japanese troops who besieged Guanjiapu suffered heavy casualties and the remaining troops have fled back to Shenyang. As for Xinmin City, it is completely under the control of our Northeastern New Army.  Under siege, the connection with Shenyang was completely cut off." Jiang Baili took the message from Li Guocai.  After reading it in a hurry, I reported to Zhang Xinghanhui with joy.  "Okay, electrify the West Route Army and Li Zhenyuan as a reward and tell them. Rest for the night, but you need to be more vigilant to prevent the Japanese army from breaking out at night. We will launch a general attack on Xinmin City early tomorrow morning and completely annihilate the remaining Japs in the city." Zhang Xinghan said Fenran.  .  "Commander. If we attack Xinmin by force, we will inevitably get into a melee with the Japanese invaders. Most of the people in Xinmin have already evacuated. It can be said to be an empty city. Why don't we adopt the strategy of siege without attacking? As long as the siege lasts for seven or eight days,  "The Japs in the city have exhausted their military supplies and it will not be easy to eliminate them. This can minimize the casualties of our army," Jiang Baili suggested.  "No, this method can certainly reduce the casualty cost of our army to the greatest extent, but we can't delay the Shenyang battle any longer. For the Japanese, the longer they delay in Shenyang, the better, but for us, a quick battle  A quick decision is the most advantageous. Great Master: I need the West Route Army to join forces with us and besiege Shenyang. Otherwise, it will be impossible to completely annihilate the Japanese in the Shenyang area. Therefore, the casualties must be paid.  , As the saying goes, if you can’t let go of your children, it’s worth paying for thousands more casualties in exchange for more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Shenyang!” Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and rejected Jiang Baili’s suggestion, explaining.  Jiang Baili nodded noncommittally when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "By the way, the Ge Quanwu Regiment of the 10th Division suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Can it be withdrawn and rested?" "Well, inform Ge Quanwu to lead his troops.  The surviving officers and soldiers have withdrawn to Tieling, and I will personally commend them." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement.  &nbsp; Jiang Baili nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but saw Shen Xingye, who had not seen him for many days, walking in quickly.  "Commander, please take your seat." Shen Xingye stood up and saluted.  "Yizhi, what's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Commander, the British Reuters reporter Alice and the American Time reporter Eileen want to go to the front line to conduct battlefield interviews. Do you want to approve it or not?" Shen Xingye asked.  "No, that's nonsense. The front line is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong while they're there, who will be responsible?" Zhang Xinghan objected immediately.  "Yes!" Shen Xingye immediately stood up and saluted, turned and left.  ????…………Xinmin City, Japanese Army Garrison Headquarters.  After listening to the report from his subordinates, Kashii Kohei immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and sat on the chair dejectedly, as if he had lost his soul.  "Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General, please don't be discouraged. We can break out of the encirclement tonight at night, and we will do our best to escort you out of danger safely." A Japanese colonel advised upon seeing this.  Kashii Kohei did not respond at all, but the Japanese captains had no choice but to leave in anger.  At the same time, in the city of Shenyang, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in Shenyang, Shunroku Hata, was like a Spanish bullfighting in heat, frantically smashing everything he could see in the office.  Various documents and ceramic decorations were scattered all over the floor, and the whole office soon became a mess.  While pouring out his anger, he roared. It was not until a long time later, probably because he was tired, that Shunroku Hata sat down on the desk, panting.  At this time, Chief of Staff Noda Cuckoo, who had been silent just now, dared to step forward, took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and lit it for him.  Timely advice: "General, please calm down, Xinmin City has not yet fallen, we cannot mess up our position." Shunroku Hata looked up at Noda Cuckoo, coldly snorted: "Xinmin City has fallen into siegeThe a3; army was heavily surrounded, and the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties. It was only a matter of time before they fell. The imperial army had already lost the battle of Shenyang.  " "No, General, we still have a chance, please don't be depressed.  "Noda Cuckoo said hurriedly. "Is there still a chance?  "Hata Shunroku looked at Noda Cuckoo with confusion in his eyes. The Great Master "Yes, there is still a chance. Although we suffered heavy losses in the Xinmin battle, we still have no less than 100,000 troops in our hands. As long as we hold on to Sujiatun  , to ensure the smooth flow of the retreat, we can still hold on in Shenyang until another batch of domestic reinforcements arrive.  "Noda Cuckoo said to the point. "Huh?  "Hata Shunroku's eyes lit up when he heard this, he put out the cigarette butt on his desk, and said happily: "Yo Xi, we haven't reached the last moment yet, the situation is still solvable.  "Yes, as long as we ensure that the connection between Sujiatun and Shenyang is not cut off, we can maintain contact with the cities on the Nanman Railway south of the Hun River, and all kinds of logistical supplies can be communicated without hindrance. In this way, it will be a waste,  We can hold on for another month.  "Noda Cuckoo said. "Noda-kun, I'll leave this matter to you. We must ensure that the road behind Sujiatun is smooth. This is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, and we must not make any mistakes.  "Hata Shunroku said solemnly and worriedly. "Hai, please rest assured, general, I will definitely supervise this matter with all my strength.  "Noda Butani suddenly bowed his head and said  Tieling City, Shen Xingye has just walked out of the headquarters of the former enemy. Alice and Erin, who had been waiting for a long time outside, would have been waiting outside.  After jumping out of the car one after another, Alice came up and asked: "Mr. Shen, what did your commander-in-chief say?  " Shen Xingye shook his head apologetically and said, "Both of you, I'm very sorry. Considering your personal safety, our Commander-in-Chief rejected your application to go to the front line for interviews.  " Erin Matt and Alice looked at each other after hearing this, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't we go to the front line for interviews?  usFor the purpose of this visit, battlefield interviews are one of the most important things. Moreover, we also want to use more photos and records to record the deeds and scenes of your army’s heroic battles, so that people all over the world can witness the grace of your Northeastern soldiers.  , don’t you want to?  " Baixiaosheng.com does not skip words. Shen Xingye smiled apologetically and said: "I am very sorry. Although I want to help you two, as a soldier, I can only obey the orders of our commander-in-chief.  " After saying that, Shen Xingye paused and said: "You two, I still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't see you off, so I'll take my leave.  " After saying that, Shen Xingye turned around and walked towards the headquarters. "Hey, hey, why did you just leave like that.  "Irene was a little angry, stamped her feet and said: "It's really annoying, there is no gentlemanly manner at all.  " Alice had a faint smile on her face, watching Shen Xingye leave, as if she was thinking about something. " Alice, why are you still in the mood to laugh?  Don't you think this is bad?  for us.  "Irene looked at Alice with some dissatisfaction. Alice shrugged: "Irene, the legs are grown on our own bodies. Where do we want to go, do we still have to ask these Chinese soldiers?  "Baixiaosheng.com does not skip words. "You mean?  "Irene's eyes lit up. "Shh" Alice stopped her quickly and whispered: "Since Commander-in-Chief Zhang won't let us go, then we will go by ourselves. Are you afraid of Irene? This may be a very serious matter.  Crazy and dangerous things without the protection of Chinese soldiers.  " Erin's eyes were full of excitement, without any trace of fear. She immediately made an OK gesture and said with a wide smile: "No problem.  ” ps: Thank you all for your support. Here is the third update.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 205: Capture of Fushun

    It was night in Fushun County. On top of the city, several Northeastern New Army soldiers came up holding a red flag all over the ground. One of the soldiers reached out and pulled out the Japanese sun flag, threw it down from the top of the city, and then held the flag.  Soldiers planted red flags all over the ground.  <－》 As our flag was planted on the top of Fushun City, there was a sudden burst of joy inside and outside the city, and countless new Northeastern officers and soldiers raised their guns and cheered.  Two hours ago, Huang Xiansheng was ordered to lead the 1st Division of the Japanese Army to arrive. With absolute superiority in troops and firepower, they fought fiercely for two hours and captured Fushun County, cutting off the Japanese army's eastward retreat from Shenyang.  On the top of the city, Huang Xiansheng walked up, accompanied by Niu Erzhu, the deputy division commander and head of the First Infantry Regiment, and several other subordinates.  Standing on the top of the city, overlooking the whole city of Fushun where the flames were still burning, Niu Erzhu could not restrain his excitement and said: "Master, Fushun City has been captured, can we march to Shenyang next?" <h1><  /h1> Huang Xiansheng tightened the military coat around him and said calmly: "First send a message to the commander-in-chief to report that Fushun has been captured by our division and request instructions for the next battle." "Yes!" Niu Erzhu stood up and responded.  The accompanying adjutant had already recorded the order and rushed down to the city.  Shenyang City, Japanese Army Headquarters.  A Japanese staff officer walked into the headquarters’ war room in a panic with a telegram in hand.  Shunroku Hata, Noda Cuckoo and others stopped their feet and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, General, Fushun has been captured by the Chinese Army. Can the reinforcements return?" Two hours ago, Shunroku Hata and others received the report that Fushun was attacked.  A group of reinforcements have been dispatched from Shenyang for emergency assistance.  "What? Fushun was lost in just two hours?" Hata Junroku and Noda Cuckoo were angry and surprised.  Originally, they believed that although the main force of the Fushun defenders had been transferred back to Shenyang, they could still hold on for three to five hours, and this time would be enough time for reinforcements to arrive.  Unexpectedly, the imperial army in Fushun could not hold out for even two hours.  The thought of Fushun falling.  Shenyang was about to fall into a situation surrounded on three sides, and the anger in Hata Shunroku's heart suddenly surged.  "Bagaya Road! We want to recapture Fushun." "General, don't be angry. The fall of Fushun is a foregone conclusion. It will be very difficult to recapture it. I believe that now we should do our best to ensure the smooth flow of Sujiatun and the Hunhe River Bridge, or should we  In that case, as long as the connection with the southern Manchuria area remains open, we can still persist in Shenyang," Noda Cuckoo patiently advised.  "The Chinese surrounded Xinmin and captured Fushun. Their strategic purpose is self-evident. Sujiatun will never allow any more mistakes." Shunroku Hata gently nodded and said: "Order, 104th Division, 18th Division  The regiment is going all out to defend Sujiatun, and there must be no more mistakes! "……………………While Fushun was captured by the Northeastern New Army, inside the Japanese Army Headquarters in Xinmin City.  Japanese commander Kohei Kashii, wearing a samurai turban, knelt in front of a plaster flag in his bedroom.  The expressionless general uniform buttons were unbuttoned one by one, and Kashii Kohei held his general sword upside down with both hands.  He slowly lifted it up.  <h1></h1> “Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Yamato nation!” Almost shouting out such a slogan that was only shouted when the troops were charging, Kashii Kohei used his hands to use force, and the sharp general’s sword puffed out.  Abdomen stabbing.  The corners of Kashii Kohei’s mouth twitched.  The blood flowed out uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and stared at the plaster flag in front of him. He turned the knife handle with both hands and cut a cross in his abdomen, and then slowly fell into the diagonal stab.  At this time.  The door of Kashii Kohei's room was suddenly kicked open with great force, and a Japanese staff officer and several Japanese soldiers carrying 38 rifles were seen running in in a hurry.  I saw Kashii Kohei falling to the ground, with blood all around him.  The Japanese chief of staff hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Excellency General" Kashii Kohei showed no reaction. The Japanese chief of staff put his hand out and tried to breathe, but there was none.  The Japanese staff officer looked sad and angry&#x4e86"Hai!" Several Japanese soldiers lowered their heads in unison and responded, holding rifles in hand.  Ran out of the room.  ………………… Tieling City, Northeast New Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had already had dinner in a hurry and was about to fall asleep when Shen Xingye walked in like a ghost.  "Commander, the 1st Independent Division is calling. Fushun has been captured. In addition, the Xinmin Japanese Army tried to break out at night, but was blocked back to the city by the West Route Army." Shen Xingye saluted Zhang Xinghan and reported.  "Fushun has been taken?" Zhang Xinghan was delighted when he heard this and said: "Very good, call back the alarm and ask him to stay in Fushun for the time being." "Yes." Shen Xingye nodded and continued: "In addition,  News also came from the West Route Army that the Japs in Xinmin City tried to break out at night, but were blocked by the West Route Army. " "The little Japs couldn't hold themselves back. Tell Wang Yizhe to be more vigilant and don't let the Japs do anything.  We can seize this opportunity and launch a general attack after dawn. We must capture Xinmin City before sunset tomorrow," Zhang Xinghan said.  "By the way, Commander, there is one more thing. According to reports from my subordinates, Alice and Irene left Tieling in the evening in the private car they purchased, heading towards Shenyang." Shen Xingye suddenly thought.  "These two foreign women are really persistent. Forget it, send someone to protect them secretly. In addition, notify Zhao Zhenfan and ask him to make some arrangements on the front line to satisfy their curiosity. You can also help our Northeastern New Army.  Promote it." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said helplessly.  "Yes! I'll make arrangements right away." After Shen Xingye saluted, he turned around and left.  ????………Nanjing, Jiang Gong’s residence.  During the past six months, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was busy with the so-called "suppression of bandits" and his main energy was focused on this, so he took various measures to deal with the situation outside the customs.6. The attitude of sitting on the sidelines.  "However, the situation outside the customs has undergone earth-shaking changes in just six months, making Chairman Chiang no longer able to treat it with caution."  Because of the development of the situation, there is already a tendency to develop towards a scene that he least wants to see.  <h1></h1> In just two years, Zhang Xinghan emerged from a small battalion commander and developed into a substantial warlord with 200,000 troops.  The speed of this development is so fast and terrifying that Chairman Chiang is already restless.  If we really wait for Zhang Xinghan to command the Northeastern New Army to capture the entire South Manchuria.  Dominating the four provinces outside the Pass, another Northeast King is about to emerge from the Northeast.  Therefore, what Chairman Chiang hopes to see most is that the Northeast New Army can be at a stalemate with the Japanese and even the Russians, and attack and consume each other.  This will be conducive to our policy of settling domestic issues first before resisting foreign aggression.  After discussing with Chen Cheng and other close confidants, Chairman Chiang decided to send another call to Zhang Xinghan, calling him to come to Nanjing as soon as possible to report on his work.  At the same time, in order to prevent Zhang Xinghan from giving up again, Chairman Chiang and his staff decided to publicize the news that anti-Japanese hero Zhang Xinghan was coming to Beijing to report on his duties through the Central News Agency and other public opinion organizations.  Use the power of public opinion.  Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to give up.  In addition to using the power of public opinion, Chairman Chiang also sent a summons to Zhang Xinghan’s nominal boss, Zhang Hanqing, the top military officer of the Northeast Army.  The telegram arrived in Peiping first, and Duke Jiang tactfully revealed the purpose of summoning Zhang Xinghan to Beijing to Zhang Hanqing.  Zhang Hanqing hated Zhang Xinghan for a long time, so he naturally tried his best to cooperate and immediately asked his subordinates to send electricity to the whole country. He would go to Nanjing with the anti-Japanese hero Zhang Xinghan to report on his work.  …………………………… Tieling City, there was a sound of chickens awakened Zhang Xinghan, and after simply washing.  Zhang Xinghan came to the war room.  The cooking class was very discerning. When they saw Zhang Xinghan coming out of the bedroom, they brought over the breakfast that had been prepared and kept warm.  Zhang Xinghan picked up the porridge and pancakes and started eating. At this time.  &#33931; Baili Yixi walked in in military uniform.  Zhang Xinghan greeted quickly: "Chief of Staff, come quickly, let's have breakfast together." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan called out again: "Kitchen. Bring another breakfast to the Chief of Staff." The cooking squad leader responded and left.  Don’t prepare to mention it.  Jiang Baili came to Zhang Xinghan's side, his expression a little unusual.  He said: "Commander, a call from Nanjing." "Oh? What do you say?" Zhang Xinghan took a bite of green onion and asked curiously.  "Chairman Chiang has once again telegraphed you to go to Nanjing to report on your work immediately." Jiang Baili said.  "Call back, the Battle of Shenyang is at a critical moment and I can't get away. Please wait and go again." Zhang Xinghan said without thinking.  "But, Commander, this time Chairman Chiang not only sent a telegram, but also informed the military and civilians across the country through the Central News Agency and other news organizations that you will go to Nanjing to report on your duties. Now the whole country knows the news, Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou  The people in other places are even more excited and looking forward to your arrival. If you don't go, there is no guarantee that Chairman Chiang will accuse you of something." Jiang Baili knew very well what Chairman Chiang was like and looked worried.  advised.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan's face became a little solemn. After being silent for a while, he drank up the porridge in his bowl.  This is the time when the cooking squad leader has personally brought a breakfast to Jiang Baili. Seeing that Zhang Xinghan has finished eating, he quickly asked: "Commander, are you satisfied? Do you want me to serve you some more?" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand gently, cooking.  The squad leader nodded understandingly, put away the bowls and chopsticks, and left on his own.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Chief of Staff, what do you think? Do you think I should go or shouldn't go?" "I personally think that Commander, you can't go. It's no secret that Chairman Chiang is jealous of Xian Xian. Now I am the Northeast New  Under your leadership, the commander, we have made brilliant achievements. It is hard to predict what Chairman Chiang has planned at this moment. If this is the Hongmen Banquet, wouldn’t it be dangerous if the commander goes there?#25112;At the most critical moment, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, how can the commander leave easily?  "Jiang Baili said. PS: Thank you to Brother Suifeng for the 50,000 Piaohong reward in the past. Congratulations on becoming the second leader of Huben. I also want to thank Brother Xiaoyao Shenjian 9986 for the generous reward of 10,000 yuan. I really appreciate you all. Today during the day  I took a rest, bought some big watermelons on the street, and got a haircut. I’m in good spirits now.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 206: Surrounded on Three Sides

    Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly when he heard this, but Jiang Baili suddenly changed the subject and said: "However, from a political perspective and long-term future plans, I think, Commander, you should go there. <-" " Zhang Xinghan looked sideways when he heard this.  There was some confusion in his eyes.  Jiang Baili explained: "What I just said is just a hypothesis. After careful analysis, even if Chairman Jiang is dissatisfied with you, Commander, he would not dare to touch you. If nothing else, just because of your unprecedented political power, Commander."  With his reputation and outstanding military exploits, Chairman Chiang does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and do harm to you, Commander." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and fell into thought.  It cannot be denied that Jiang Baili’s analysis is reasonable and correct, even though Baldy Jiang has had the unforgivable experiences of the Qing Gang.  He also has a suspicious personality, and he likes to do one thing on the surface and another on the back, but at this time he would never dare to do anything to himself openly.  Because, compared to getting rid of a potential opponent, Chairman Chiang values ??his reputation and prestige in the hearts of the people more.  This can be seen from the great men coming to Chongqing for negotiations after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan finally decided: "Chief of Staff, call Nanjing back and tell me that I will arrive in Nanjing by plane in a week and meet Chairman Chiang Kai-shek." "Commander has decided?" Jiang Baili said with admiration.  "Well, it's decided, but we have to wait until we capture Shenyang before we go." Zhang Xinghan nodded calmly. To be honest, as a time traveler, he also wanted to meet famous people in history.     certainly.  Zhang Xinghan values ??his reputation more and makes long-term plans for the future, no matter what.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is now the leader of the Republic of China.  “As a frontier general, I can’t disobey orders repeatedly, and Chairman Chiang has done all the tricks this time, leaving no room for himself.  "Can we win Shenyang in one week?" Jiang Baili was a little unsure.  "That's enough. I have ordered the West Route Army to launch a general attack on Xinmin City today. After taking Xinmin, we can form a three-sided siege of Shenyang. The next step is Sujiatun." Zhang Xinghan said with confidence.  ?????……………Xinmin City, the West Route Army’s general offensive has begun.  In order to support the West Route Army's successful attack and capture of Xinmin City, dozens of bombers from the pilot division were ordered to come to support.  In addition to the necessary vigilance in the direction of Shenyang, most of Li Zhenyuan's armored forces were also transferred to Xinmin to participate in the offensive.  Outside Xinmin City, thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers from the West Route Army were firing. Thousands of artillery shells would fall into Xinmin City every minute.  Because most of the people in the city had already evacuated to Tongliao with Zhang Xinghan.  Therefore, the West Route Army did not have any concerns about shelling at this time.  "Boom" A heavy aerial bomb landed on a house in the center of the city, and a violent explosion occurred immediately.  The violent shock wave instantly collapsed the main body of the house, and several Japanese soldiers hiding inside were immediately blown to pieces and died on the spot.  On the top of Ximen City, a shell roared down, and the violent explosion immediately sent several Japanese soldiers flying out who could not avoid it.  He fell hard into the city.  After the shelling and bombing continued for more than an hour, Wang Yizhe ordered all regiments to attack across the board and launch a general attack on Xinmin City from all directions.  At the east gate, Li Zhenyuan commanded the tank troops and blasted the closed east gate into pieces with direct fire.  Immediately, hundreds of infantrymen rushed into the city under cover.  The first group of soldiers to rush into the city managed to rush through the city gate.  They were blocked by Japanese machine gun firepower hidden under the ruins of several buildings in the city.  The few vanguards who rushed to the front were unable to escape.  They all fell into a pool of blood.  But the officers and soldiers who followed immediately came up with submachine guns, and the machine guns fired fiercely.  Taking advantage of the opportunity of suppressed fire, more soldiers poured in&#x57ce;, with the automatic firearm in his hand, he began to shoot violently at the enemy's fire points.  Several tanks also came in. The tank guns quickly adjusted and aimed at one of the Japanese machine gun fire points that was spitting out flames.  "Boom" With a muffled sound, a high-explosive round flew out of the 75mm tank gun barrel of a No. 4 tank and headed straight for the Japanese firepower point.  "Boom" The high-explosive bomb accurately hit the target, red light rose, and the enemy's firepower point was instantly reduced to ruins.  The several Japanese machine gunners and ammunition holders inside were all blown into bloody sieves.  Several other tanks followed suit, and soon the remaining Japanese firepower points were named one by one, and they were all destroyed.  In this way, with the coordination and cover of tanks and armored units, supplemented by fierce machine gun fire suppression, all attacking forces were overwhelming.  The stalemate and brutal street fighting imagined by the Japanese army did not appear. The Japanese, who lacked effective anti-tank weapons, basically had no way to deal with behemoths like the Panzer IV tank.  When you are close, you have vehicle-mounted machine guns and infantry for coordinated protection, but when you are far away, Molotov cocktails, cluster grenades and explosive packets are out of reach.  The range of firing cannons such as a magazine and a mortar, but it is still difficult to ensure accuracy when it is used to shoot the tank in the movement.  Even if it was a lucky hit, its power would be ineffective against the dozens of millimeters thick defensive armor of the Panzer IV.  What's more, at this time, the morale and strength of the Japanese troops in Xinmin City have reached their lowest point.  In addition, the commander Kashii Kohei has committed seppuku, and the leaderless Japanese army basically fights on its own.  This battle continued until the evening. Except for some sporadic resistance in some corners of Xinmin City, most of the Japanese troops had been wiped out.  Li Zhenyuan led the armored troops to cover a regiment of infantry and had captured the Japanese headquarters compound.  "Commander Li, all the Japs here have been killed, and no one has survived. However, in a separate bedroom, an old Japs was found who committed suicide by caesarean section." A major officer saluted Li Zhenyuan.  “Suicidal&#32769;Japanese?  where?  "Li Zhenyuan had heard as early as when he was the commander of the armored company of the 7th Independent Army that the Japanese would commit seppuku after they were defeated, but so far in the war with the Japanese, I have never seen anyone committing seppuku, so I became interested. It's just this.  What the guy didn't know was that it wasn't that the Japanese didn't dare to commit seppuku, but that the Northeastern New Army, including his armored forces, almost killed everyone in battle, leaving little chance for the little devil to commit seppuku.  Under the guidance of the major officer, Li Zhenyuan and others came to the place where Kashii Kohei committed seppuku. Because the whole army in Baoding was fighting, Kashii Kohei's subordinates did not go to collect the body of their commander. Everyone was going to die anyway.  Aren’t they all the same? Li Zhenyuan squatted down and looked at the sword that was still held tightly by Kashii Kohei. He opened his hand with all his strength, took the sword to his eyes and looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed:  "Damn it, this is a general's sword, this old devil must be a Japanese general.  " As soon as Li Zhenyuan finished speaking, the major officer and another subordinate next to him stepped forward and took off the half-toned military uniform that Kashii Kohei had taken off. He looked at it and handed it to Li Zhenyuan and said: "Commander Li, look at this old devil.  What level is it?  " "Gold base, two golden cherry stars.  "Li Zhenyuan looked at the epaulettes on his military uniform and said in surprise: "This is a Japanese lieutenant general, haha, he is a lieutenant general. It seems that this old guy should be the Japanese commander in Xinmin.  " "Commander Li, let's report our victory to the top, shall we?  "The major officer also said excitedly. "Well, to report victory, send a message to Commander-in-Chief Zhang immediately. Xinmin City has been captured, and the Japanese commander committed suicide" Li Zhenyuan nodded happily.  Tieling City, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army, Communications Officer Li Guocai walked in excitedly with a telegram in his hand. He stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, victory report of the West Route Army, new news.Mincheng has been captured, and the remaining enemies in the city have basically been eliminated. The commander of the Japanese army of the New People's Republic of China has committed seppuku. In this battle, the West Route Army has annihilated a total of more than 40,000 Japanese troops. The specific results are still being counted.  " "Okay, well done. Tell Wang Yizhe and Gao Chu that after a short rest, they will immediately send troops to the west bank of the Liao River, ready to cross the river to attack Shenyang at any time.  "Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this. "Yes!  "Li Guocai took the order and left. Zhang Xinghan immediately said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, according to reliable information, the Japanese have assembled more than two divisions of heavy troops in Sujiatun. If we want to seize Sujiatun and cut off the enemy's retreat, I am afraid there is no way.  So easy.  "Commander, apart from the air force, our biggest advantage is the mobility of the ground forces. Since the Japanese have gathered heavy troops to defend Shenyang and Sujiatun, we have no chance to capture Sujiatun."  Then we can create our own opportunities, actively use our mobility advantage, attack them to save them, annihilate the enemy with movement, induce the Japanese troops in Sujiatun to leave, and then take advantage of the opportunity to capture them.  "Jiang Baili said with a smile. "If you attack it, you will save it?  "Zhang Xinghan looked at the map thoughtfully. After a long time, a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Shenyang City, Japanese Army Headquarters. "General, Xinmin City has been lost, Kashii  General Haoping committed suicide by committing seppuku last night.  "Noda Cuckoo said solemnly. "Hata Shunroku's face was gloomy and terrifying. Although he had already been mentally prepared and knew that this was an inevitable result. "Hata Shunroku was still in a heavy mood. In the battle of Xinmin, he lost no less than 50,000 yuan."  In addition to the battle losses in Tieling and Fushun, his army of more than 200,000 has now lost more than one-third. It has only been less than five days since the war began, and tens of thousands of troops were lost in five days.  , with an average consumption of tens of thousands of people every day, this is absolutely unimaginable by Shunroku Hata and Nobuyoshi Muto. He stood up, took off his military hat, and bowed his head in silence.At 55; moment, Shunroku Hata raised his head and said to Noda Cuckoo in a calm tone: "Send a message to Commander Muto and report the battle situation."

    Dalian, headquarters of the Japanese invading Kwantung Army.  <－》 Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke walked outside Muto Nobuyoshi's office door with a solemn face and a piece of paper in his hand.  The office door is ajar, and you can see through the crack in the door that Muto Nobuyoshi is sitting behind his desk working.  Hashimoto Toranosuke pondered for a while, and finally raised his head and knocked on the door, saying loudly: "Report!" "Come in." Muto Nobuyoshi heard Hashimoto Toranosuke's voice and said without raising his head.  Hashimoto Toranyuki pushed the door in and came to Muto Nobuyoshi. He suddenly put his feet down and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, Hata Toshi-kun sent an urgent telegram from Shenyang." "Oh? How is the battle of Shenyang going?" Muto Nobuyoshi said early.  He asked as he had given all the command of the 200,000-strong army to Shunroku Hata.  "General, since the fall of Tieling, the imperial army has been at a disadvantage in many battles. First, Guanjiapu, a strategic location between Shenyang and Xinmin, fell. You should know this. We also dispatched aviation troops for this purpose, and finally returned with a disastrous defeat. "  After the defeat of the battle, Xinmin County was surrounded by the Chinese Army. Almost at the same time, a new force of the Chinese Army suddenly attacked Fushun and captured it. Subsequently, Xinmin was also captured by the Chinese Army, and the Xinmin garrison was occupied.  From the commander, Lieutenant General Kashiki Kohei, all the Chinese troops have now surrounded Shenyang from three directions. Only Sujiatun in Shenyang can maintain contact with all parts of southern Manchuria," Hashimoto Toranosuke calmly reported.  "Nani? Has the situation in Shenyang deteriorated to this extent?" Muto Nobuyoshi was a little surprised, but more angry.  "Shunroku Hata is an idiot. How did he command this?" "General, don't be angry. The battle of Shenyang ended like this. It's not that Shunroku Hata's command was incompetent, but that the imperial army did not have air supremacy, and even more seriously lacked effective anti-tank weapons and weapons.  To restrain the tanks and armored forces of the China Army. Moreover, the China Army is also newly equipped with a piece of technical equipment that can quickly build bridges and pave roads. No matter the anti-tank trenches or rivers and lakes we dug, they can no longer stop their progress.  With the technical equipment, a steel bridge more than ten meters long can be built in three to ten minutes, which can easily allow dozens of tons of tanks and chariots to pass through. Therefore, this war is not a crime of war, and we have not yet done so.  To the point of inevitable defeat, as long as the imperial army holds Sujiatun and ensures that the connection between Shenyang and other places in southern Manchuria is not cut off, Hata Toshijun can still hold on in Shenyang and will definitely be able to hold on until the next wave of reinforcements arrives.  , Hata Toshi-kun made a special explanation in the telegram," Hashimoto Toranosuke explained hurriedly.  After hearing his explanation, Muto Nobuyoshi nodded noncommittally, and immediately ordered: "Call back Shunroku Hata. Order him to stay in Shenyang for another month. In short, no matter the cost, Shenyang must not allow any loss." "Hai!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and took the order.  After resting for a night, the main force of the West Route Army was ready to cross the river at any time.  At this point, the Northeastern New Army has strategically completed the three-sided encirclement of Shenyang.  At this moment, there was a place on the north bank of the Liuhe River in the west direction of Xinmin City where the water flow was not too fast.  Dozens of No. 4 bridge-building tanks have cooperated with each other to build several temporary steel-framed iron bridges on the Liuhe River, which is dozens of meters wide.  Panzer IV tanks, armored vehicles and military trucks full of soldiers are driving across the river one after another.  On the edge of the north bank, several military jeeps were parked.  A large number of guards have already been standing guard in a radius of several hundred meters.  There are patrols cruising further out.  "Zhenyuan, there are many dangers here. Be more careful!" Wang Yizhe patted Li Zhenyuan on the shoulder and reminded him.  Li Zhenyuan nodded and said: "Please rest assured, old sir, Zhenyuan will pay attention." After speaking, Li Zhenyuan stood up and saluted Wang Yizhe and others who came to see him off, and said: "Take care!" "Take care!" Wang Yizhe and  Gao Chu et al&#x7eb7; all returned the gift.  After the ceremony, Li Zhenyuan turned around and climbed onto a No. 4 tank. Soon the driver started the tank and roared forward.  This time, Li Zhenyuan obeyed Zhang Xinghan's emergency telegram. He led four armored tank regiments and two motorized infantry battalions to form a right-wing roundabout mobile force, responsible for roundabout attacks on Liaoyang, an important town behind the Japanese army.  In order to achieve the strategic goal of mobilizing the Japanese army to seize the opportunity to seize Sujiatun.  While Li Zhenyuan led his troops to cross the river quietly and set off, the main force of the Independent First Division stationed in Fushun also bypassed the Hun River from Saerhu under the leadership of deputy division commander Niu Erzhu.  Entered the area south of the Hun River and waited for opportunities.  In Fushun, Huang Xiansheng only left one infantry regiment and one direct guard company. The remaining two infantry regiments, a tank regiment and an artillery regiment were all assigned to Niu Erzhu.  Therefore, the main force of the independent 1st Division led by Niu Erzhu will be responsible for the task of capturing Sujiatun this time.  After deploying these two troops, Zhang Xinghan ordered the three motorized infantry divisions placed in front of Shenyang to gather support from the air force and heavy artillery brigades to launch fierce attacks on Shenyang several times.  To attract the main attention of the Japanese army in Shenyang and provide cover for the two partial divisions.  ??????…………… The Shenyang Battle has reached its most critical moment. It can be said that all countries in the world are paying close attention.  Among them, the most concerning thing is that the Soviets just suffered a huge loss at the hands of the Northeast New Army.  Vladivostok, the headquarters of the Soviet Far East Military District.  Soviet commander Blucher is listening to the report of the intelligence officer.  "General, according to the information we have, the Northeast New Army, under the command of its commander Zhang Xinghan, has eliminated no less than 70,000 Japanese Kwantung Army. Currently, Shenyang City has been surrounded by the Northeast New Army on three sides. I think the outcome seems to be  It’s self-evident,” a Soviet intelligence officer reported respectfully.  "China's Northeastern New Army is really powerful. The Japanese Kwantung Army's 300,000 troops are no match for them. It seems that we will not be able to avenge the last one in a short time." Bu Liuhe  After listening to the intelligence officer's report, I said with great horror.  ??………………………?… ?Ichiro Rinquan was an ordinary captain officer of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army that invaded China.  He is in charge of an infantry squadron of more than 180 people. He and his squadron are currently responsible for the defense of Liaoyang County.  A squadron like his.  There are ten Japanese troops in Liaoyang City, plus some military police and guard troops, there are nearly 3,000 Japanese troops in Liaoyang City.  To the south of Liaoyang, Anshan, Haicheng, Dashiqiao, Yingkou, and Benxi to the east.  Nearly 100,000 Japanese troops were distributed in Fengcheng, Dandong, Panjin, Liaozhong, Heishan, Jinzhou, Jinyang and other places to the west.  The reason why Liaoyang only has more than 3,000 defenders.  It's because there are 200,000 imperial troops deployed in the lighthouse, Sujiatun and Shenyang to the north of it.  The strength of Dingtao and Sujiatun exceeds two divisions.  Today, as usual, Ichiro Rinquan carried a saber and led two guards carrying 38 rifles to inspect the city wall defense line.  Everywhere they went, Japanese soldiers quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.  This respectable atmosphere and life make Ichiro Rinquan very useful.  After looking around for a while, Ichiro Linquan leaned against a stacked wall and took out a cigarette.  A guard had already taken out a match and helped him light his cigarette.  After taking a few puffs happily, Linquan Ichiro began to joke with his two subordinates: "Xiaolin-kun, I heard that you and Motoki-kun often go to the Chinese brothel in the city to find flower girls, right?" The two Japanese soldiers were a little submissive and didn't know what to do.  How to answer.  Ichiro Rinquan patted the shoulder of the Japanese soldier who lit his cigarette and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't blame you." "Report to the officer. Motoki-kun and I only went there once."  Xiaolin's Japanese soldier lowered his head and said.  "Once? Haha, how did it feel? Did the women in the Imperial Army's comfort station feel good?" Linquan Ichiro said with a lewd smile.  The Japanese soldier named Xiao Lin smiled sheepishly and said: "They are more attractive than the women in the comfort stations. And we don't have to pay" "Yoxi, Yoxi,"#19979; Remember to call me when you go there next time. I also want to try the difference between Chinese prostitutes, ah, hahaha!  "Rinquan Ichiro raised his head and laughed with a lewd smile. The two Japanese soldiers quickly lowered their heads: "Hai.  "Suddenly, the Japs named Motoki raised his head and saw a scene that shocked him, and he was stunned. Seeing that his expression was wrong, Linquan Ichiro asked what was going on, and followed his gaze.  I saw a large number of tanks and armored vehicles appearing in the distance outside the city. They were approaching like a black torrent of steel. Ichiro Linquan's pupils tightened and he immediately pulled out his gun.  He fired a shot into the air and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Enemy attack!  Enemy attack!  "The two Japanese soldiers also hurriedly took off their 38 rifles from their backs. With one hand holding the rifle, the other hand picked up the specially equipped whistle around their necks and blew it quickly. The harsh gunshots and rapid whistles quickly alarmed the people.  After hearing the news, a large number of Japanese troops in Liaoyang City boarded the city to defend themselves. Outside the city, Li Zhenyuan had lined up four tank regiments outside the west gate of Liaoyang, and infantrymen from two motorized infantry battalions also dismounted.  In a tank car, Li Zhenyuan held a radio and coldly ordered: "Aim all tank guns at the city head and fire ten rounds at a rapid rate!  "The order was quickly conveyed to every tank and armored vehicle of the four tank regiments. Nearly four hundred tanks, each about ten or twenty meters apart, were divided into several rows and almost surrounded the entire west gate. The guns of each tank  The barrel slowly rotated and adjusted, aiming the black muzzle at the top of the city. When Captain Ichiro Linquan saw this, his face turned pale with fright. He raised the bastard box in his hand and pulled the trigger again and again, shouting like a madman: "Shoot."  ,shooting!  "The Japanese soldiers on the city suddenly opened fire with light and heavy weapons, and dense bullets poured down like rain. "Ding Ding Dang&#24403;" The bullets hit the heavy armor of the tank one after another, bursting out a series of sparks. Not long after the Japanese opened fire, nearly four hundred 75mm tank guns also opened fire one after another. "Boom  Boomboom" The huge sound of artillery suddenly resounded throughout Liaoyang County. Balls of fire emitted from the muzzle of the tank gun, roaring and crashing towards the head of Liaoyang City. "Boomboom" The artillery shells hit the city  There was a violent explosion on the top of the city. Shrapnel and shock waves flew across the city, causing earth and rocks to fly. The Japanese soldiers who had been shooting violently just now fell down in pieces, howling miserably.  Linquan Ichiro was also injured. A piece of shrapnel hit his shoulder, and blood suddenly flowed across his arm. Linquan Ichiro endured the pain and withdrew from the city under the escort of two guards. "Immediately went to the garrison."  Headquarters reports that reinforcements will be requested.  "As soon as they got off the city, Ichiro Rinquan ordered Xiaolin. "But, sir, you are injured.  "Xiao Lin hesitated. "Don't worry about me, go and execute the order, you bastard!  "Rinquan Ichiro roared anxiously and angrily. "Hai!  "The Japanese named Xiaolin suddenly lowered his head and walked away quickly with his 38 rifle on his back. At this time, the second round of shelling from the Northeastern New Army outside the city came again, and violent explosions sounded again. Ichiro Linquan looked back  Go, I saw that from time to time in the fire, some of his subordinates were blown away, and some were directly torn into pieces by the raging shock wave. Ichiro Linquan did not dare to order a retreat, because he was deeply afraid that Ximen would be killed as soon as he gave the order to retreat.  It would be easily occupied by the Chinese troops outside the city, which was definitely a capital crime for him, so he had to hide in the urn wall accompanied by Mumoto. The Liaoyang Japanese garrison headquarters quickly received a report from Xiaolin.  The commander-in-chief, Colonel Jiuquan, was shocked. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles were not a force he could compete with while mobilizing reinforcements.588; Colonel Jiuquan of Ximen's Linquan Squadron immediately ordered the communications corps to send an emergency request for help message to Muto Nobuyoshi.  Dalian, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Hashimoto Toranosuke left and returned, but this time his face was much more nervous and anxious than the last time he came.  "Hashimoto-kun, what's wrong with you, why are you so panicked?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked in confusion.  "General, the Liaoyang garrison headquarters received an urgent call. A Chinese armored force quietly bypassed the central area of ????Liaoyang and suddenly appeared in Liaoyang County. It is currently launching an attack on Liaoyang. Liaoyang garrison commander Colonel Jiuquan requested emergency tactical guidance from the headquarters.  " Hashimoto Toranosuke reported quickly, and after finishing speaking, he handed the message in his hand to Muto Nobuyoshi.  Muto Nobuyoshi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order the garrison troops of Benxi, Anshan, Haicheng, and Liaozhong to rush to Liaoyang. In addition, the aviation force also immediately launched an attack to attack the armored troops of the China Army." "General, please."  Don't send the lighthouse garrison south to help Liaoyang? They are the closest to Liaoyang and can be reached by train, which is very convenient." Hashimoto Toranosuke suggested.  "No, we must not mobilize the defenders of Lighthouse and Sujiatun easily unless it is absolutely necessary. It is related to the retreat and life and death of the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in Shenyang, and there must be no room for error!" Muto Nobuyoshi immediately shook his head and objected.  ps: This chapter has 4,000 words. It’s raining heavily again in my hometown. There’s thunder and lightning outside.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 208: The Bully Tactics

    Hashimoto Toranosuke nodded silently, saluted, and then turned around and left.  <－》 ……………… Tieling City, Northeast New Army Headquarters.  Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Li Zhenyuan has led his troops to Liaoyang City and launched an attack as planned. According to reports from air force reconnaissance planes, the Japanese troops in Liaozhong, Anshan, Benxi and other places have already left the city and are rushing towards Liaoyang for reinforcements.  "Where are the Japanese troops in the direction of Lighthouse and Sujiatun?" Zhang Xinghan asked sideways.  <h1></h1> Jiang Baili shook his head lightly: "Stay still." "It seems that the little devil has learned a lesson." Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "Since the little devil refuses to come out, then telegraph Li Zhenyuan and ask him to report the news.  I'll make a big move and beat the little Japs in Liaoyang hard before the Japs reinforcements arrive, and then immediately go south and march towards Yingkou Dalian. As for the Japs reinforcements in Anshan, I'll defeat them!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili saluted,  Take the order and leave.  ???????????……………… In Liaoyang City, four tank regiments, under the command of Li Zhenyuan, have been shelling the west gate and city top of Liaoyang for no less than half an hour.  Linquan Ichiro's garrison squadron has been exhausted, but reinforcements from the city have also arrived under the leadership of Commander Jiuquan Colonel.  "Compared to Ichiro Linquan, Colonel Jiuquan, an old devil, is much more flexible and changeable. He does not continue to put his limited troops at the top of the city as cannon fodder.  Instead, they were deployed in private houses on both sides of the streets in Ximen City, preparing to fight street battles with the Northeastern New Army outside the city to delay the arrival of reinforcements.  Outside the city.  More than a thousand officers and soldiers from the two infantry battalions have all disembarked and are ready for battle.  Mortars, infantry guns, and general-purpose machine guns with tripods attached to serve as heavy machine guns are all ready.  "We only need to wait for Li Zhenyuan's order to launch a charge and attack on the smoke-filled Liaoyang City."  Next to an armored vehicle, Li Zhenyuan, surrounded by two guards, was looking at the head of Liaoyang City with a telescope.  At this time, a communications soldier pushed the door out of another armored vehicle and ran towards Li Zhenyuan quickly.  When he arrived, the communications soldier stood at attention and saluted: "Commander. The commander-in-chief is calling." "Read it!" Li Zhenyuan put down the telescope and ordered.  "Headquarters telegraphed that the Japanese troops in Liaozhong, Anshan, and Haicheng have been dispatched to attack. They are expected to arrive one after another in an hour. After your troops attack Liaoyang as appropriate, you can leave Liaoyang before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. Go south to Yingkou and defeat the enemy in Anshan.  Reinforcements," the signal soldier read.  "I got it, call back to the headquarters. Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that Zhenyuan has resolutely implemented the headquarters' orders." Li Zhenyuan handed the telescope to the guard and said.  "Yes" the signal soldier snapped and saluted.  Turn around and leave.  After the communications troops left, Li Zhenyuan said to a guard: "Order the troops to stop shelling and prepare to move." The guard responded with a bang and took the order.  <h1></h1> Very quickly.  All the infantry were on board, and the artillery was re-attached to the back of the trucks and armored vehicles.  The last four tank regiments came to the rear and slowly evacuated Liaoyang in a swaggering manner.  It wasn’t until Li Zhenyuan led his troops completely away that the Japanese troops in the city dared to board the city.  "Linquan-kun, are you okay?" Colonel Jiuquan on the top of the city looked at Linquan Ichiro, whose arm was still bleeding with gauze, and asked with concern.  "Replying to the officer, it's okay to be humble, but the Chinese army just withdrew like this?" Rinquan Ichiro was flattered, but looked at the empty road outside the city with a confused look.  "I don't know. Immediately send out cavalry scouts to secretly detect the movements of the Chinese people. At the same time, this information will be notified to the reinforcements from all walks of life, reminding them to be careful." Jiuquan Dazuo said.  ????………… Several armored trains are rumbling on the railway from Anshan to Liaoyang&#x524d;While walking, a large number of Japanese infantrymen were also walking on both sides of the railway.  This is the Japanese reinforcements from Anshan, with a strength of two thousand, almost all of them came out.  Due to the lack of enough train skins, apart from some taking armored trains, most of the two thousand Japanese soldiers marched along the railway on foot under the leadership of their respective officers.  The armored locomotive equipped with heavy artillery and machine guns opened the way, and they followed suit.  Of course, in order to ensure that they do not get too far away from their large group of infantry, the Japanese armored train does not travel very fast.  The commander of this unit is Masato Ikui, the garrison commander of the Japanese army stationed in Anshan. At this moment, Masato Ikui, an old devil, is sitting on the armored train with his eyes closed and meditating.  Suddenly, a communications soldier reported to him with a telegram: "Your Excellency Colonel, there is an urgent call from Liaoyang." "Oh? How is the situation in Liaoyang?" Ikui Masato opened his eyes and asked after hearing this.  "The Chinese army that attacked Liaoyang has withdrawn and its whereabouts are unknown. Colonel Jiuquan reminded us to pay close attention to prevent accidents." the communications soldier replied.  "The Chinese army has evacuated Liaoyang?" Ikui Masato pondered for a while after hearing this, and said: "Since the Chinese army has evacuated, it is meaningless for us to go to Liaoyang again. Order, the rear team of the troops will be changed to the front team and meet Anshan."  "Hai." The communications soldier suddenly lowered his head and turned to leave.  Not long after, the armored train that was rumbling forward made a harsh sound of brakes, and the large group of Japanese infantry following the armored train also stopped moving forward.  They all turned around and went back the way they came.  The armored train also started again, spurting out streams of white steam from the front and moving slowly.  At this moment, Li Zhenyuan led a tank regiment to arrive first. The two No. 4 tanks led by it fired in vain at the Japanese armored train that had turned around from a thousand meters away.  "Boomboom" made two loud noises. Two high-explosive bombs accurately hit the front of the armored train. The flames immediately engulfed it. Several Japanese drivers in the front of the train were shocked to death on the spot.  <h1></h1> The entire armored train shook violently, and the students sitting in the backMasato Ikui was almost knocked off his seat and stood up in a panic. Masato Ikui was horrified. He held the carriage of the armored train with one hand and pressed his sword with the other hand. He asked urgently: "Baga, what happened?"  ?" At this time, the Japanese machine gunner outside had noticed the abnormality and responded in horror: "The Chinese army is a Chinese tank group." Ikui Masato came to the carriage window in a hurry.  Looking out, I saw a large number of Chinese tanks appearing behind the front of the car.  They are roaring towards this direction.  The dark tank gun barrels were constantly adjusting and aiming towards them.  Masato Ikui's pupils suddenly dilated, and he shouted angrily: "Abandon the car immediately on Bagaya Road! Hurry up!" After saying that, Masato Ikui jumped out of the window with agility.  Almost at the same time as he jumped out of the window to escape, dozens of anti-aircraft shells flew with dazzling flames and hit the front and carriage of the armored train, causing a violent explosion.  "Boom, boom, boom" The violent explosion shook the earth and the sky, and the dazzling flames directly enveloped the armored train.  The huge explosion shock wave knocked the armored train directly off the track.  Nearly a hundred Japanese machine gunners, gunners, guards and communications personnel on the vehicle were all killed on the spot.  Masato Ikui was not very lucky when he jumped out of the window to escape. He jumped out of the window and hit a sharp rock corner. His head was hit on the spot and he bled profusely. The red and white mixture flowed out uncontrollably along with the blood.  The shrapnel produced by the explosion blew his back into a bloody mess, and the old devil didn't even have time to scream.  He was killed on the spot.  Being suddenly attacked, the Japanese infantrymen scattered in panic, lay down on the ground, set up machine guns, raised their rifles and started shooting.  However, these bullets were not enough to pose any threat to the roaring Panzer IV.  The Japanese armored train was killed at such a close range,&#20182; These infantrymen who lack anti-tank weapons will, if no accident occurs.  It will inevitably become meat on the chopping board, and there will only be one end, at the mercy of others.  However, at this moment, a large number of Japanese aircraft suddenly appeared in the sky.  Li Zhenyuan was surprised.  He quickly ordered the tank troops to stop the attack and quickly dispersed to escape.  At the same time, he urgently requested air force support from Zhang Xinghan.  The Japanese dispatched more than twenty planes this time.  There were more than ten fighter jets and the rest were all bombers.  When they discovered the tanks and chariots of the Northeastern New Army on the ground, they immediately swooped down and opened fire with various machine guns and heading machine guns.  Bombers also began to drop bombs one after another.  For a time, the entire railway line was ablaze, smoke was everywhere, and violent explosions resounded in the sky.  In the thick smoke, Li Zhenyuan was leading the tank troops to evacuate quickly. At the same time, the vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns were also firing back at the Japanese planes swooping in the air at a certain angle. The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns equipped on the armored vehicles fired fiercely to provide full air defense.  The thick armor of the No. 4 tank cannot be penetrated by the Japanese machine guns and machine gun bullets alone. The only threat is the aerial bombs dropped by several Japanese bombers.  But the Japanese army did not have dive bombers. Their bombers dropped bombs in free fall, and their accuracy was completely incomparable with the dive bombers of the Northeastern New Army.  Therefore, as long as the tanks of the No. 4 Tank Group are not extremely unlucky and are directly hit by Japanese aerial bombs, they are generally unscathed and can quickly shuttle and avoid in the smoke and fire.  "Commander, the air force will not be able to arrive for a while. We can't avoid it like this." The anxious voice of a tank regiment commander sounded on the intercom.  "Old Liu, do you have any good ideas?" Li Zhenyuan asked calmly, holding the walkie-talkie.  There was silence on the walkie-talkie for a while, and the regimental commander’s voice came again: “Commander, don’t do anything without stopping. Let’s attack the Japanese ground troops directly. As long as we and the JapaneseIf the 7493; soldiers are strangled together, the Japanese planes will be intimidated and will not be able to threaten us.  " When Li Zhenyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?  We were busy thinking about how to avoid the Japanese air attacks and reduce losses, but we forgot what the commander often said to us: the best defense is offense.  " Li Zhenyuan paused, and immediately shouted an order into the walkie-talkie: "Now I order all regiments, battalions and companies to turn around immediately, and launch an assault on the Japanese infantry in three directions. Remember to spread out and don't drive in a bunch!  " "Received received" came a response from the walkie-talkie. Immediately, tanks and armored vehicles suddenly turned around, spitting green smoke from the rear and rushed toward the Japanese infantry who were preparing to evacuate.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 209: Raid on Yingkou

    The sudden turn of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeast New Army immediately surprised the Japanese infantry and the air force. The already frightened Japanese infantry hurriedly accelerated their escape.  However, the aviation force had to terminate the bombing and dive sweeps because of concerns about accidental damage.  No matter how fast the Japanese infantry were, they could not outrun the tanks and armored vehicles. Soon they were overtaken by Li Zhenyuan and his troops, and anti-aircraft machine guns and tank cannons opened fire.  The Japanese soldiers who could not escape fell one after another. The Japanese aircraft circled back and forth in the air for a long time. Coupled with the threat of ground anti-aircraft firepower, they were finally forced to return and leave.  Once the Japanese Air Force left, the completely unequal battle on the ground turned into a complete massacre.  In less than an hour, the two thousand Japs were slaughtered by Li Zhenyuan and his troops. Without caring about cleaning the battlefield, Li Zhenyuan led his troops away from the railway line and continued southward in a roundabout way.  ………………………… Dalian, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "Your Majesty General, what's bad is that the Ikui regiment from Anshan, which was rushing to aid Liaoyang, encountered the armored troops of the China Army halfway. The main force of more than 2,000 people was completely wiped out." Hashimoto Toranosuke reported.  "How could such an accident happen? Didn't I ask the aviation force to dispatch support? What does this bastard Ikui Masato do for a living? Let him come to see me immediately!" Muto Nobuyoshi was furious after hearing this.  "General, Colonel Ikui Masato has been killed in the encounter, and his body has not been found yet." Hashimoto Toranosuke said.  In fact, Hashimoto Toranosuke and Muto Nobuyoshi did not know that Masato Ikui, who jumped out of the window to escape, not only died tragically after hitting a rock, but was also blown to pieces.  When Li Zhenyuan led the tank and armored troops to fight back, Masato Ikui, who died not far from the railway, was tragically run over by tanks and armored vehicles weighing dozens of tons.  By the end of the battle, at least dozens of tanks and armored vehicles ran over him. In the end, all Ikui Masato left behind was only a muddy pile of broken flesh and bones. The only thing that was intact was his crushed and deformed weapon.  The Saguan Dao went deep into the ground.  However, no one wanted to pay attention to the rotten flesh and blood that was enough to make any veteran vomit.  Therefore, Masato Ikui's body could not be found.  Hearing this, Muto Nobuyoshi snorted before giving up.  "General, what should we do next? The garrison strength in Anshan is less than a thousand." Hashimoto Toranosuke asked.  "Order, the Haicheng garrison will dispatch an infantry brigade to reinforce the Anshan garrison. In addition, all counties will be strictly guarded, and more scouts will be sent to closely search and detect the whereabouts of China's armored forces to increase vigilance and prevent the recurrence of the Anshan incident.  "Muto Xinyi pondered for a moment and then ordered.  Hashimoto Toranosuke felt something was wrong.  With a worried look on his face, he said: "General, the whereabouts of the Chinese armored force are erratic. If we just stick to it and can't get out, that's not the way to go. After all, the Chinese have the upper hand on local battlefields. If we can't stick to it, we may  If they are defeated by the Chinese Army, they may be ambushed and surrounded by reinforcements." Muto Nobuyoshi's face suddenly darkened, indeed.  What Chief of Staff Hashimoto said is true.  However, Muto Nobuyoshi is now a little helpless regarding this current situation. He really can't think of any effective means to deal with such a tank and armored unit of the Northeast New Army. ??????????????????????????????????? Muto Nobuyoshi looked at Chief of Staff Hashimoto and asked: "Hashimoto-kun, do you have any good solutions?" Hashimoto Toranosuke pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "General, the Imperial Army lacks a large number of anti-tank weapons.  . In the field, the Chinese armored forces are almost invincible, so there is no good way unless a sufficient number of absolutely superior forces are mobilized to carry out search and suppression." After saying this, Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly said: "General.  , Otherwise, you can call Staff Officer Ishihara Kanji to see if he has any good ideas. This person has always been known as the Kwantung Army's think tank. "Is he worthy?" Muto Nobuyoshi snorted with disdain.  With the failure of the September 18th Incident and the continued unfavorable outcome of the subsequent Northeast War, although the Kwantung Army eventually captured most of the Northeast, the September 18th Incident has been called an unsuccessful incident, and Ishihara Wanji did not  Can become a hero in the eyes of Japanese people.  Since Muto Nobuyoshi resumed his position as the commander of the Kwantung Army, he has been even more refrigerated.  Hashimoto Toranosuke patiently said: "But, General, although the September 18th Incident cannot be called a successful incident, it is enough to prove that Ishihara Kanji is still capable. Let's brainstorm, General, and see if he has any good ideas.  Make a plan." Muto Nobuyoshi thought for a while and finally said: "Go and ask him to come see me quickly." Hashimoto Toranosuke bowed his head and left after a while.Then he returned with Ishihara Wanji.  "Your Excellency, General, I don't know what instructions you have for summoning me from a humble position." Ishihara Wanji solemnly put his feet back and stood at attention to salute, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.  Muto Nobuyoshi did not speak, but winked at Hashimoto Toranosuke.  Hashimoto Toranosuke understood and quickly explained to Ishihara Kanji the upcoming battle in Shenyang and the current attack on Liaoyang by the armored assault force of the Northeastern New Army.  In fact, although Ishihara Kanji has been hidden, he has been paying attention to the progress of the Shenyang Battle and other battles. He has always had many ideas and methods, but he was frustrated that Muto Nobuyoshi did not use him.  At this moment, he knew that his only chance had come. If he didn't seize it, he would never get ahead in the Kwantung Army.  Therefore, he first bowed to Nobuyoshi Muto and then said with a sigh: "For more than half a year, in order to expand its military strength, the empire has neglected and delayed the large-scale production and development of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. Now, there is a lack of anti-tank weapons.  The evil consequences have been fully reflected. Therefore, I believe that the Commander should immediately order General Hata Shunroku to abandon Shenyang." Ishihara Wanji's words were shocking. Muto Nobuyoshi and Hashimoto Toranosuke both changed their faces, and Muto Nobuyoshi was extremely dissatisfied.  Said: "Chief of Staff Ishihara, you'd better give me a clear reason, otherwise I will hold you responsible for shaking the morale of the military." Ishihara smiled and said unhurriedly: "General, I have just said that we  There is a serious lack of anti-tank weapons that can balance China's armored forces, and there is also a lack of sufficient air defense weapons. The aviation force, whether sea-based or land-based, is no match for the China Air Force. And we are fighting in a foreign country without local advantages and support. In this situation.  Under all the unfavorable circumstances, all we can do is to abandon Shenyang and gather our precious troops to Yingkou, Jinzhou, Dalian and other entire Liaodong Peninsula. As long as we hold on to the Liaodong Peninsula and ensure our last base in the Northeast, we will still be able to turn defeat into victory.  Opportunity." "Asshole, do you want me to voluntarily give up Shenyang and most of South Manchuria?" Muto Nobuyoshi interrupted Ishihara Wanji with a somewhat angry roar.  "General, Shenyang has been surrounded on three sides by the China Army, and its tanks and armored units have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians alone. Its strategic purpose is self-evident, which is to cut off the retreat of the main force of the Kwantung Army in Shenyang, so as to annihilate our army in one fell swoop.  The hundreds of thousands of troops in Shenyang. "Just imagine, if the entire imperial army is wiped out in the Shenyang battle, what else will we have to hold on to the Liaodong Peninsula?" Ishihara Wanji explained.  "Baga, you are alarmist." Muto Xinyi roared with a ferocious face.  "Your Majesty General, this is by no means an alarmist. In the last battle of Tongliao, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to attack Sujiatun, intending to cut off the retreat of all the imperial troops on the north bank of the Hun River. In the end, we had to give up this plan because our reinforcements arrived.  A crazy and sinister decision. Now that his wings have grown and his strength has greatly increased, the possibility of repeating his old tricks is very high," Ishihara Wanji urged.  "That's enough, shut up!" Muto Nobuyoshi has endured the humiliation and grievance of abandoning Northern Manchuria. If he is asked to voluntarily give up most of Southern Manchuria, then there will really be no place for his old face.  Therefore, even if Ishihara Wanji's suggestion is correct and worthy of reference, he does not want to listen to it anymore.  Helpless, Ishihara Wanji had no choice but to shut up, lower his head and retreat.  After Ishihara Wanji left, Hashimoto Toranosuke tentatively persuaded: "General, Ishihara Wanji's words are not unreasonable. We need to seriously consider it." "We have deployed two divisions in Sujiatun and Lighthouse.  With the strength of our troops, there is absolutely no chance for the Chinese outflanking troops. As long as we ensure that Sujiatun and other railway towns along the line are in our hands, Hata Toshijun will definitely be able to hold on in Shenyang. The next wave of reinforcements will definitely arrive in twenty days at most.  We can make it." Muto Xinyi said calmly.  Hashimoto Toranosuke’s mouth moved, but before he could say anything, suddenly, a communications soldier walked in in a hurry.  He suddenly closed his feet and saluted: "Your Excellency General, the Yingkou garrison sent an urgent message. A Chinese armored force arrived at the northern suburbs of Yingkou in half an hour and is currently attacking Yingkou." "Nani? Yingkou?" Muto Nobuyoshi and  Hashimoto Toranosuke's face changed drastically.  "Yes, general." The Japanese communications soldier nodded and handed over the message with both hands.  Hashimoto Toranosuke calmed down secretly, stepped forward to take the message, turned around and walked over and handed it to Muto Nobuyoshi.  Muto Nobuyoshi’s veteran hand like a withered leaf trembled slightly as he took the message, opened it and looked at it, and the corner of his mouth suddenly couldn’t help but twitch violently.  With his eyes almost spitting fire, he shouted: "Order the 1st Division to commit suicide immediately."The company sets off and rushes to the rescue of Yingkou!  " Once the camp entrance was lost, the Northeastern New Army could march straight into Dalian and Lushun. Of course Muto Xinyi couldn't sit still and directly sent out the 1st Division that stayed in Dalian. "Hai!  "The Japanese communications soldier suddenly lowered his head, turned around and walked away. "Wait a minute, notify the air force to dispatch immediately, and rush to Yingkou to support the imperial army in combat!  "Muto Nobuyoshi suddenly stopped him. "Hai!  "The Japanese communications soldier bowed his head again, then turned around and took the order. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please go and read.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 210: It’s time to attack Shenyang in general

    In the north of Yingkou City, the tank regiment commanded by Li Zhenyuan was storming the Japanese army's field defense positions.  Hundreds of tank guns still have an absolute advantage in artillery fire and are bombarding the Japanese defensive positions.  The Japanese were unable to raise their heads due to the fierce artillery fire and were completely suppressed in their position.  Next to an armored vehicle, Li Zhenyuan was holding a telescope and calmly watching the performance of his own tank gunners.  With the experience of the last attack on Liaoyang, Li Zhenyuan seemed particularly calm this time. He gathered the armored vehicles and did not participate in the shelling and fire suppression.  All anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns are in preparation for air defense, waiting for the arrival of Japanese aviation units.  It can’t be said that you are well prepared.  In order to save artillery shells, the shelling only lasted less than half an hour. Then a motorized infantry battalion, which had been waiting for a long time, launched an attack on the Japanese army under the guidance of dozens of tanks.  The number of Japanese troops in Yingkou is slightly larger than that in Liaoyang, with more than 5,000 troops, close to two full field regiments.  However, in the absence of anti-tank weapons, the more than a thousand Japanese troops deployed outside the city were undoubtedly easily repelled by the Northeast New Army's infantry and tank coordination.  After losing hundreds of troops, they hurriedly withdrew into the city and defended it. This was the best and only way the Japanese army could think of to deal with tanks and armored vehicles.  Just after seizing the Japanese field defense position, the Japanese aviation troops arrived as scheduled. However, this time, the Japanese fighters and bombers failed to show off their majesty like last time.  Dozens of 88-mm anti-aircraft guns and nearly a hundred anti-aircraft machine guns, which had been waiting for them for a long time, opened fire one after another.  The intensive anti-aircraft firepower caught the Japanese pilots off guard. A Japanese aircraft was shot continuously on the spot and exploded directly into the air, turning into a ball of brilliant fire.  Shenyang, Beidaying battlefield.  The frontal exchange of fire between the Northeast New Army and the Japanese Army is still continuing. In order to completely defeat the Japanese Army, seize the Japanese Army's defensive position outside the North Gate of Shenyang, and truly complete the three-sided encirclement of the Japanese Army in Shenyang.  Under the same command of Zhang Xinghan, and under the full cover of Air Force fighter planes, the 2nd, 4th, and 10th divisions took turns to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions south of Beidaying.  In order to ensure the last defensive position in the north of the city, the Japanese army also invested a large amount of troops in repeated battles with the Northeastern New Army.  The battle between the two sides entered a fierce tug-of-war from the beginning. Although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, it had an absolute strength advantage.  Therefore, the two sides fought fiercely from the morning to the afternoon, and the battle line was still barely maintained.  Tieling City, the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  Jiang Baili put down the phone and said: "Commander, Commander Zhao called. An attack organized by the 10th Division failed again." Zhang Xinghan disapprovingly lit a cigarette and said: "It's nothing, we still have time, this Shenyang battle  , It can train our troops, baptize the new recruits in the army, and add rich combat experience to them. This is very valuable." "Well," Jiang Baili nodded in agreement, "We are not the only ones.  In actual combat training, the same is true for the Japanese army. In fact, their so-called 17 permanent divisions do not have many soldiers with actual combat experience. After all, more than 20 years have passed since the Japanese-Russian war.  Most of the active-duty officers and soldiers are composed of trained recruits. The veterans of the year have either retired or have been promoted to officers. This is probably one of the reasons why the Japanese army has stronger combat effectiveness than us. Not only do their recruits undergo formal training, but they also undergo formal training.  The main reason is that most of their mid-level and junior officers are veterans with actual combat experience. Most of these officers come from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and are the backbone of the Japanese Army's active forces. " "So, we must try our best to conquer Shenyang in this battle.  The Japanese army will be completely wiped out, otherwise it will be a matter of letting the tiger return to the mountains, leaving a group of veterans with combat experience for the Japanese, who may have a more powerful opponent in the future." Zhang Xinghan continued.  "The commander is right, but the Japs are currently deploying two divisions in the Sujiatun area. Although Li Zhenyuan led the armored troops deep into the enemy's rear and attacked everywhere, the Japs in the direction of Sujiatun and Lighthouse showed no signs of mobilization.  What should we do?" Jiang Baili asked worriedly.  "Chief of Staff, don't be anxious. The time has not come yet. I will have a way to cut off the Japanese army's retreat." Zhang Xinghan said confidently: "The strategic purpose of transferring Li Zhenyuan to lead his troops south is not all to mobilize the Japanese troops in the Sujiatun area.  The army is returning for reinforcements." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Li Guocai walked over with his head held high and saluted: "Commander, Chief of Staff, Li Zhenyuan called, they have surrounded Yingkou City and defeated the incoming Japanese Air Force Headquarters." "Very soon.  Okay, call back to Li Zhenyuan, don't be wary, be sure to pay close attention to the Japanese reinforcementsWe must try our best to avoid being entangled by the enemy's movements before they arrive, and we must take advantage of our maneuverability.  "Zhang Xinghan praised him and ordered. "Yes!  "Li Guocai responded with a snap, then turned around and accepted the order. "Your Excellency General, Yingkou City has been surrounded by the Chinese army, and the aviation team has also been ambushed by enemy anti-aircraft fire, losing fighter planes.  Several aircraft have returned.  "In the Dalian aircraft headquarters, Hashimoto Toranosuke reported to Muto Xinyihui. "Where has the 1st Division reached?  "Muto Xinyi asked urgently. "Dalian is more than two hundred kilometers away from Yingkou. The 1st Division will not be able to arrive for a while. It is still in the Pulandian area.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke replied. "Bagaya Road, ordered the 1st Division to speed up its march and must reach the camp entrance within five hours!  "Muto Xinyi was furious when he heard this. Almost three or four hours have passed since the emergency at Yingkou. The 1st Division just arrived at Pulandian? Such a marching speed is simply too slow. You must know that they are not on foot, but on foot.  Take the train o “Hai.  "Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded. The order was quickly conveyed to the 1st Division, but it was just that the Northeastern New Army had suffered a long time ago, especially the 1st Division, which had suffered heavy losses in the armored forces under Zhang Xinghan. The current incumbent was frightened.  After the division commander Sen Lian received the order, he did not urge his men to speed up the march. Instead, he deliberately delayed the advance to Yingkou on the grounds that the train needed to add coal and water. Therefore, let alone five hours, it was not until the early hours of the night.  After nearly seven or eight hours, the reinforcements of the 1st Division failed to reach Yingkou County. Li Zhenyuan easily led his troops to evacuate at night and was ordered to advance westward toward Panjin and Jinzhou until dawn.  When the regiment arrived at Yingkou belatedly, the Northeast New Army positions outside the city were already empty. The current commander of the 1st Division, Sen Lian, quickly reported this information to the commander of Dalian.  In the ministry, after listening to the report relayed by Hashimoto Toranosuke, Muto Nobuyoshi was shocked and slapped the table and said, "What?  The Chinese army withdrew again?  What the hell are they doing?  " Hashimoto Toranosuke shook his head slightly, expressing his ignorance: "I really can't guess what this China Army wants.  " "The 1st Division was telegraphed to figure out the whereabouts of this China Army as soon as possible, and at the same time dispatch aviation reconnaissance aircraft to coordinate reconnaissance.  "Muto Xinyi made an immediate decision. ………………………………… The middle section from Yingkou to Panjin, on the west bank of the Daliao River. Li Zhenyuan’s tank unit has stopped on the west bank and has prepared airdrops in the wide open space.  Guidance sign. Not long after, there was a deafening roar in the air, "Commander, they are coming.  "An adjutant put down his telescope and turned to report to Li Zhenyuan, who was smoking. Hearing this, Li Zhenyuan jumped out of the armored vehicle, raised his telescope and looked, and saw a group of aircraft suddenly emerging from the clouds in the distance. As the distance approached, Li Zhenyuan's clear  Seeing that the leaders were several Zero fighter jets, Li Zhenyuan spit out the cigarette butts in his mouth and ordered the adjutant next to him: "Notify brothers, be prepared, the transport plane is coming.  "    "yes!  "The adjutant agreed with a bang, and immediately took the order and left. "About ten minutes later, about a dozen C-47 military transport aircraft, escorted by five Zero fighter jets, began to circle and airdrop. "Barrels of gasoline and diesel and a box of  The whole process lasted for nearly half an hour. It took more than ten C-47 transport aircraft to airdrop all the ammunition and fuel they carried. Due to sufficient preparation, most of the airdrops accurately fell within the range of the airdrop point.  The occasional deviation was not too far away, and the armored soldiers quickly recovered it. After receiving supplies of fuel and ammunition, Li Zhenyuan immediately led his troops towards Dawa County, the eastern barrier of Panjin, which is located between Daliao River and Liaohe River.  In the middle is the county town affiliated with Panjin, which is an important barrier to the east of Panjin. The whereabouts of Li Zhenyuan's troops crossing the Daliao River were quickly discovered by Japanese army scouts, and they were immediately reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Toranosuke and others were shocked when they heard the news, and quickly ordered Panjin and the Japanese troops in Dawa County to be on guard against a surprise attack by the Northeastern New Army. Two hours later, Li Zhenyuan led his troops to the gate of Dawa County.  The Japanese army had already prepared to close the city behind closed doors. Li Zhenyuan was not polite to the Japanese. He used more than 300 75mm tank guns to form a powerful artillery group and began to pour high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs into Dawa County.  The county turned into a sea of ??fire and ruins. After the shelling,?Li Zhenyuan immediately personally commanded the troops to launch a charge attack on Dawa County.  Due to time constraints, the Japanese army deployed few troops in Dawa County. In less than half an hour of fighting, more than half of the Japanese soldiers in Dawa County were lost, and the rest were forced to withdraw from the city and flee westward.  However, they were soon chased and annihilated by a tank regiment led by Li Zhenyuan on the east bank of the Liao River.  After taking Dawa County, Li Zhenyuan immediately made an attack on Panjin to attract Japanese troops from other places to come for reinforcements.  Muto Nobuyoshi was afraid that Panjin would be lost, so he hurriedly telegraphed the 1st Division and other units in Yingkou, as well as the Japanese army in Jinzhou to relieve Panjin.  News of the frequent mobilization of the Japanese army could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of Zhang Xinghan's air force reconnaissance planes and Shen Xingye's hidden agents who had been deployed to infiltrate various cities in southern Manchuria in the past six months.  The news quickly reached Zhang Xinghan.  Tieling City, the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan listened to Shen Xingye's secret report, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili came in excitedly with a telegram in hand, saluted Zhang Xinghan and reported: "Commander, Li Zhenyuan called. He has led his troops to capture Dawa County and wiped out a thousand enemies.  Yu Ru is preparing to continue to advance westward and attack Panjin and even Jinzhou. " "Well, Li Zhenyuan is very good." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said happily: "Chief of Staff, the time is now ripe for a general attack on Shenyang. I have decided to attack Shenyang immediately.  Shenyang launches a general attack. "Commander, is it too hasty to launch a general attack?" Jiang Baili was a little stunned and said: "Sujiatun is still under the control of the Japanese, even if we take Shenyang at any cost.  City, the Japanese army can also evacuate from Sujiatun, and our strategic goal of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army and Shenyang will not be achieved." Zhang Xinghan smiled mysteriously and said: "Chief of Staff, it is not necessary to cut off the Japanese army's escape route to the south.  If we have to capture Sujiatun, we only need to destroy the mixed railway bridge and quickly advance to the banks of the Liaohe and Hun rivers with our capable troops, so that we can cut off the Shenyang Japanese army's escape route to the south. " "I'm not satisfied with what you said, why I sent Li Zhenyuan.  The ultimate goal of leading a mobile force southward is not to attract Japanese troops from Sujiatun and Dingtao to reinforce other areas, so as to mobilize them and facilitate our army's plan to seize Sujiatun." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili was a little confused and said: "Then what are the commander's intentions and arrangements? Please make it clear." "I asked Li Zhenyuan to attack Liaoyang first to confuse the Japanese army and test the Japanese army's reaction. Of course, it can mobilize Sujiatun and  Facts have proved that the Japanese army in Liaoning was not confused. Liaoyang and Anshan were in emergency, but they did not call the Japanese troops in Liaodong and Sujiatun nearby. The next step was to win a small victory in Anshan.  After that, I ordered Li Zhenyuan to continue southward and attack Yingkou. Yingkou was the barrier of the Liaodong Peninsula. It was impossible for the little devil to sit idly by. Sure enough, the old man Muto Nobuyoshi mobilized a division of troops from Dalian to reinforce Yingkou.  , I also ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead his troops to withdraw from Yingkou, march west to attack Dawa County, and threaten Panjin. Now Mu Teng Xinyi has mobilized reinforcements from places around Panjin, such as Jinzhou, Yingkou, Haicheng and other places, and is preparing to relieve Panjin. At this point, my  The strategic goal has been achieved." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile: "Chief of Staff, do you understand why I did this?" Jiang Baili thought for a long time, then raised his head and said uncertainly: "Could it be that the commander is doing this?  Attract and contain the Kwantung Army south of Shenyang? " "By the way, you must know that before the war began, the total strength of the Kwantung Army had expanded to 300,000. Shunroku Hata invested about 200,000 in the Shenyang battle. In this way, the Kwantung Army  There are at least 100,000 troops remaining in southern Manchuria. What I am worried about is that if Shenyang is in danger, if Muto Nobuyoshi sends these 100,000 Japanese troops northward for reinforcements at any cost, then our operational goal of encircling and annihilating Hata Junroku's troops in Shenyang will be lost.  It is difficult to achieve. Therefore, I sent Li Zhenyuan to lead a lone army to go deep. The purpose is to contain and mobilize the 100,000 troops of the Kwantung Army in the southern Manchu area so that they have no time to go north, so that we can besiege Shenyang." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili suddenly understood and praised repeatedly: "Commander is brilliant, this move is really beautiful." "Then we can attack next, right?" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  Jiang Baili nodded repeatedly.  Zhang Xinghan stopped being polite and immediately ordered: "Order the 1st and 2nd Flying Groups of the Pilot Division to immediately dispatch all fighters and dive bombers to the Hunhe River Bridge in Sujiatun. At the same time, order the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Duli Flying Groups,  The 9th and 10th divisions launched an attack on Shenyang at the same time an hour later. The 1st Duli Division was responsible for containing the Japanese troops in Sujiatun and Dingtao, making them unable to cross the river to support Shenyang! "

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 211: The Great Victory of Shenyang (Part 1)

    In Shenyang City, war breaks out.  Nearly 200,000 troops from the Northeastern New Army launched a fierce attack on Shenyang from three directions.  Fighter planes in the sky were constantly circling and swooping, killing the exposed firepower points of the Japanese army one by one.  Especially the Stuka J87 dive bomber, its precise hit rate has made it a nightmare existence above the enemy.  On the ground, under the cover of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, tens of thousands of Northeastern New Army soldiers held guns and launched waves of continuous charges against the Japanese army.  The sound of artillery was as loud as thunder, and enemy and enemy soldiers and fortification bunkers were blown away everywhere.  Due to the lack of effective anti-tank weapons, the Japanese defense lines outside Shenyang were quickly lost one after another to the combined land and air firepower of the Northeast New Army.  More than 100,000 Japanese troops were forced to retreat into Shenyang City. Of course, the Japanese troops did not give up their positions outside the city in the south of Shenyang City and the direction of Sujiatun.   There is no doubt that this place quickly became the focus of competition between China and Japan.  While the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a group of Stuka dive bombers emerged from the clouds and immediately dived towards the railway bridge across the Hun River.  The Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns deployed at both ends of the bridge and on the bridge opened fire hurriedly.  The dazzling air defense fire screamed, and some of the shock waves burst out of the high SHè cannon shook in several shock waves and shot bombing, and some protective steel plates banged.  Fortunately, their violent explosion points are still far away, so they will not be directly destroyed.  The rain of bullets fired by some anti-aircraft machine guns swayed in the air chasing the dive bombers like a chain of fire.  When reaching an altitude of one thousand meters, the pilots of the Northeast New Army began to drop bombs.  "俅俅俅俅" Harsh screams sounded one after another, and then aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms began to fall accurately towards the Hunhe River Railway Bridge.  "Boomboom" A series of violent explosions sounded on the bridge, and huge firelight and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.  From a distance, it looks like mushroom clouds rising into the sky.  In the violent explosion, the rails and sleepers on the railway bridge were reduced to nothing in an instant. The high temperature evaporated and swallowed them up, or the violent shock wave blew them up in all directions.  Falling into the turbulent river water.  Soon, the bridge collapsed in several places, and the huge bridge broke and fell into the river. The entire railway bridge was completely destroyed and changed beyond recognition in just ten minutes.  As for the Japanese air defense soldiers who were still trying their best to defend against the air just now, they were also affected, suffering heavy casualties.  After completing the combat mission, the pilots on the Stuka bomber were not in a hurry to return, but flew towards Sujiatun south of the bridge.  This is their side mission, which is to conduct an air strike against the important Japanese positions between Sujiatun and Lighthouse.  Rail transportation.  To reinforce the Duli 1st Division in ground operations.  Five kilometers north of Shenyang City, Beidaying.  Zhao Zhenfan, who replaced Zhang Xinghan in commanding the former enemy, came to a high slope outside Beida Camp with Du Ting, Liu Jianguo and others.  Holding a telescope, he watched the troops' attack.  Not far away from them, two slim figures were discussing something excitedly.  "Alice, have you seen it? Oh, my God, this battlefield is so beautiful and tragic." Irene held up the telescope with uncontrollable excitement in her voice.  The fair cheeks were a little bit crimson, like ripe apples.  The pair of turbulent breasts on her chest were also rising and falling from time to time due to the rapid breathing. If the person standing next to her was not Alice, but a man. ? Then you will definitely be able to swallow your saliva with a dry mouth.  Alice’s figure is not inferior to Eileen’s.  She has plump buttocks, two slender and straight legs, and a standard S-shaped attractive body with well-proportioned bumps.  It is not an exaggeration to describe her with an angelic face and a devilish figure.  "But compared to Irene's carefree character, she has a touch of soft beauty that can only be found in oriental women.  She at this moment.  There was a little fear in her pair of jewel-like blue eyes, but more of excitement. Her long eyelashes could not help but tremble at the moment. It was obvious that she was also extremely excited.  After listening to Irene's words, Alice suddenly put down the telescope with some disappointment and turned around and said: "Irene, don't you think we are still too far from the battlefield here?" "What do you mean?" Irene also put down the telescope.  telescope.  "I think that for battlefield interviews, we should go to the real front of the line. At least we have to take some real front-of-line photos, such as close contact with the Chinese soldiers who are using them., what do you say?  "Alice said. Irene nodded and said with some hesitation: "But, will those central government officials agree?  " "They definitely can't make the decision, so we still have to get Zhang Xinghan's permission.  "Alice turned her head and looked at Zhao Zhenfan and the others who were not far away. "Do you have a way to get Zhang Xinghan to agree to let us go to the front line?  "Irene asked. Alice smiled mysteriously: "So, we still have to rely on ourselves" About twenty minutes later, the two people walked out of a military supplies warehouse, but at this moment they were already large  Changed. The original Western-style clothes turned into military uniforms. After putting on the military uniforms and helmets, the two women suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and they walked toward the front line with their cameras.  Seating, the two foreign female reporters are missing.  "A major officer hurriedly came to the slope where Zhao Zhenfan and others were, and reported urgently. "What?  Missing?  How did you do it?  Zhao Zhenfan was shocked when he heard this and said angrily: "Send someone to look for him immediately. This is a serious matter. If something goes wrong with these two foreign female journalists in our hands, it will be an international dispute. Go quickly."  .  "    "yes!  "The major officer saluted quickly in fear, and then took long strides to leave quickly. By the way, Alice and Irene successfully arrived at the forward position of the 1st Regiment of Duli's 2nd Division in disguise. After all, they were dressed in  With their own military uniforms, the main focus of the army officers and soldiers was on attacking the Shenyang City in front. When encountering individual soldiers, Alice's proficiency in Chinese allowed them to pass smoothly on the grounds that they were ordered to go to the front line for interviews. At this moment, the 1st Regiment of Duli Division.  An attack had just ended. When they walked into the front line, they were deeply shocked by the sight in front of them. From time to time, ambulancemen carried bloody wounded people from the trenches and sent them to the rear for rescue.  They saw the wounded on the stretchers passing by from time to time. Some had broken legs, some were blind, and some had broken arms. The heart-rending screams of pain shook their hearts like thunder.  It is impossible to understand this shocking scene without being there. The two women wisely stepped aside to make way for the stretchers that passed by from time to time. Soon, they came to a slightly larger trench and gathered.  There were about hundreds of officers and soldiers, and it could be clearly seen from their faces that they were troops who had just come up from the rear, because there was no smoke stain on their faces from the officers and soldiers who had come down from the line of fire. A colonel wearing a steel helmet was speaking impassionedly.  "Brothers, it has been almost two years since the September 18th Incident. It has been almost two years since we evacuated Shenyang.  Today, we finally fought back. I am particularly honored that we were able to live to see this day and personally participate in this great battle.  Now, what I want to say is that Shenyang is the capital of my Northeast, and it is also the ancestral home of hundreds of thousands of elders in Shenyang. I am a man. Pick up the weapons in your hands, rush into Shenyang City, and kill what you see.  Every little day, take back Shenyang and restore our land!  " When he got excited, the colonel officer raised his right arm vigorously. " Take back Shenyang and restore our land!  " "Take back Shenyang and restore our land!  " "Take back Shenyang and restore our land!  "Hundreds of officers and soldiers immediately raised their guns in response. Alice quickly raised her camera to capture this visually stunning scene. Hundreds of officers and soldiers raised their steel guns and responded with a group call. "Soon, that  The colonel officer took off his military coat, held a machine gun, and rushed out of the trench with his hundreds of already excited men. Erin and Alice quickly took pictures and charged the soldiers.  The brutality of the ensuing battle can be seen in the recorded scenes. On January 29, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, my colleague Eileen Matt and I witnessed a life-changing event.  A fierce battle that I have never seen before. I witnessed with my own eyes every living person who was shouting slogans to protect the homeland and the country one second, and then fell on the road of charging just now.  A colonel officer led a suicide squad attack with hundreds of his men. Due to security reasons, I was not able to charge with them. But when the battle was over, less than a quarter of them came back, and the one who was before the charge came back.  I never got to see the colonel who left a deep impression on me.After asking many soldiers, someone finally told me the unfortunate news that their regimental commander was killed by a landmine planted by the Japanese during the charge, leaving no trace of his body.  Before coming to China, all the information I heard and saw about the Chinese soldiers was that the Chinese soldiers were greedy for life and fearful of death, and had no discipline. Their officers were cowardly and incompetent, and they were just a bunch of rabble.  Especially during the September 18th Incident, the Northeast Army, as the largest local warlord in Northeast China, fled without a fight, which deepened my misunderstanding of them.  And to this day, what I saw and encountered completely overturned my previous understanding of Chinese people.  I saw a group of brave soldiers that I had never seen before. They were not afraid of death and fought for their hometown in order to regain their land.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 212: The Great Victory of Shenyang (Part 2)

    In fact, the tragedy of the Battle of Shenyang completely exceeded what Alice's notes recorded.

    You must know that the Japanese still have more than 100,000 people in Shenyang. Shenyang City is their last resort, and the degree of resistance can be imagined.

    The most brutal battlefield is the battlefield on the north bank of the Hun River on the opposite bank of Sujiatun in the south of Shenyang City.

    In order to completely encircle Shenyang City, Zhang Xinghan transferred an entire division of Wang Yizhe's West Route Army to attack the south gate under the cover of the air force.

    Although the Hun River Railway Bridge was destroyed, the Japanese were unwilling to give up the South Gate. Shunroku Hata knew that once the South Gate was abandoned, his 100,000-strong army would completely become a turtle in a urn with no way to escape.

    Therefore, both sides invested an astonishing amount of troops at the south gate and launched a desperate battle.

    Several regiments of Wang Yizhe's Duli 3rd Division took turns to go into battle, using the artillery regiment and tank regiment as cover, to engage in a brutal offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army.  

    Liu Zhenhu, deputy commander of the 3rd Division and commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, went to the frontline trenches several times to supervise the battle, and once directly led a death squad to charge.

    While the fighting was fierce in Shenyang, on the Sujiatun and Dengta battlefields on the south bank of the Hun River, Niu Erzhu, deputy commander of Duli's 1st Division, also led the main force of the division to attack the Japanese army in Sujiatun.

    To restrain them from crossing the river to reinforce Shenyang.

    At the same time, in the direction of Panjin, the assault force led by Li Zhenyuan was also storming Panjin City to attract the Japanese troops from Jinzhou and Dalian directions so that they would have no time to look elsewhere.

    Dalian, inside the Kwantung Army headquarters.

    Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke's face was extremely solemn. He came to Muto Nobuyoshi and saluted: "Your Excellency General, General Hata Shuroku sent an urgent message again. The China Army's offensive is very urgent. The Imperial Army lacks effective anti-tank weapons and air superiority.  , the losses are extremely heavy, please ask us to send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible!”

    Muto Xinyi frowned: "Have the two divisions from Dingtao and Sujiatun been transferred?"

    Hashimoto Toranosuke shook his head helplessly.  Sighing: "Not yet, a new Northeastern army suddenly appeared from the area east of Sujiatun. The imperial army stationed in Sujiatun was fighting fiercely with it and could not withdraw to support Shenyang in a short time.

    Furthermore, the Hun River Railway Bridge has been destroyed by the Chinese air force. If the reinforcements want to support Shenyang, they must cross the river. They are easily threatened by the Chinese artillery and air force during the day.  "

    Muto Xinyi couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and said, “What about the direction of Panjin?”

    "The armored troops of the China Army are in a hurry to attack the city, and the 1st Division and the 9th Jinzhou Division are rushing to help." Hashimoto Toranosuke replied weakly.

    "How long can Shunroku Hata hold on?" Nobuyoshi Muto asked subconsciously.

    Hashimoto Toranosuke shook his head again: "I don't know, now the Hun River Railway Bridge has been destroyed. The Northeast China New Army is attacking the south gate of Shenyang again. Once the imperial army loses the south gate defensive position, the entire Shenyang will be completely trapped by the Chinese army."  surrounded by.

    The reinforcements in Dingtao, Sujiatun, Jinzhou, Dalian and other places were all attacked again and were unable to go north for reinforcements.

    If this situation continues, perhaps there is no need for the Chinese army to attack. They only need to surround Shenyang City for more than half a month, and the imperial army will have catastrophic consequences due to the depletion of food supplies.  "

    Muto Nobuyoshi was silent, Hashimoto Toranosuke said everything is true, if this situation continues.  Muto Nobuyoshi simply couldn't imagine the consequences.

    Once Hata Shunroku's more than 100,000 troops in Shenyang are completely wiped out, the strength balance between the Kwantung Army and the Northeast New Army will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

    By then, I am afraid that not only Shenyang City will be lost, but the entire Nanman City.

    Thinking of this.  Muto Nobuyoshi inevitably thought of what Ishihara Kanji said yesterday.

    "Hashimoto-kun, call Ishihara Wanji immediately and ask him to come see me as soon as possible. His prediction yesterday was extremely accurate. He must have a way to save the current crisis." It involves the entire Southern Manchuria region and hundreds of thousands of emperors.  Jun's life and death, Muto Nobuyoshi no longer cares about his old face.

    Hashimoto Toranosuke had no choice but to take the order and leave immediately.

    soon.  Then he found Ishihara Wan'er.

    Seeing Ishihara Wanji this time, Muto Nobuyoshi changed his indifferent expression yesterday and said eagerly: "Ishihara-kun, the situation on the battlefield has suddenly changed. I hope you and I can put aside our previous grudges and get through the difficulties together!"

    Ishihara Wanji immediately stood up and said: "I am very happy!"

    "Very good." Muto Xinyi nodded appreciatively, and hurriedly walked to the map with Ishihara Wanji.

    Pointing to the map, Muto Nobuyoshi simply and quickly introduced the battlefield situation to Ishihara Wanji, and asked urgently: "Ishihara-kun, how are you? Do you have any good ways to help Hata Toshi-kun overcome the current predicament?"

    &nbsp; Ishihara Wanji stared at the map for a while, then shook his head silently, and said to Muto Nobuyoshi: "General, there is no way, Shenyang can no longer hold on. To put it unluckily, if Shenyang continues to hold on,  Commander Shunroku Hata's 100,000-strong army will be completely annihilated in the tiny area of ??Shenyang."

    "What?" Muto Nobuyoshi's heart sank, and he said unwillingly: "Is there no way at all?"

    Ishihara Wanji nodded: "General, the Imperial Army has lost the Shenyang Battle since Xinmin fell. Even if we don't want to admit it, this is indeed a fact."

    The meaning of Ishihara's words is very clear. After Xinmin fell, Muto Nobuyoshi was unwilling to fail and was unwilling to admit that the Battle of Shenyang had actually failed.

    But at this moment, Muto Nobuyoshi was already in a state of chaos, and he had no intention of blaming Ishihara Wanji for his slightly sarcastic words.

    He shouted almost out of control: "No, the more than 100,000 imperial troops in Shenyang must not be lost like this, and South Manchuria and the Liaodong Peninsula cannot be lost, otherwise we will all become sinners of the entire Yamato nation."

    Ishihara smiled and pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "General, now we have the only chance."

    "The only chance?" Muto Xinyi said eagerly: "Tell me, what chance?"

    Ishihara Wanji stepped forward, pointed to Shenyang on the map and said: "Now that the Hun River Railway Bridge has been destroyed, the imperial army in Shenyang will have to cross the river if they want to retreat south. In that case, the imperial army will be crazily strangled by the China Air Force, and  There are also new Northeastern troops on the south bank, and we don't have so many ships for troops to cross the river, so the imperial army has no chance to evacuate from the direction of Sujiatun.

    The only chance now is to evacuate from the east of Shenyang City along the Hun River towards Fushun. That is the only chance for the imperial army, because the main forces of the China Army are deployed in the north and west of Shenyang City.

    The Chinese army in Fushun will not have too many troops, so this is the weak point of their encirclement.  "

    Muto Nobuyoshi was noncommittal, looked at Ishihara with a somewhat bitter smile and said, "Do you mean to abandon Shenyang?"

    "Yes, this is the only chance for the imperial army. Only by giving up Shenyang can we avoid the terrible consequences of being annihilated. The battle of Shenyang is now beyond anyone's power." Ishihara Wanji nodded firmly.

    "Then how many troops can we withdraw?" Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly asked.

    Ishihara smiled slightly, looked up at him and said: "Half."

    "What? Only half of it can be evacuated?" Hashimoto Toranosuke was shocked.

    "Yes, if we want to stop the pursuit of the Northeastern New Army, we have to sacrifice at least half of our troops." Ishihara smiled and nodded.

    "Half of the troops." Hashimoto Toranosuke obviously could not accept such a cruel reality for a while. Half of the troops would have to be at least 50,000 people, or even more.

    At this time, Muto Nobuyoshi suddenly said: "Ishihara-kun, tell me, how do you know that the direction of Fushun is the weak point of the Chinese encirclement? In case, where does the Chinese army deploy heavy troops, and we abandon Shenyang, in the field battle  If we can’t advance or retreat, wouldn’t the consequences be even worse?”

    “General, please imagine where the Chinese army that is attacking Sujiatun and Lighthouse appeared from.

    If they were composed of the Chinese Army's Western Route Army crossing the river, then they should have appeared from the west of the railway line and attacked. You must know that if the Chinese crossed the railway on such a large scale, it would be impossible for our garrison troops along the line not to  knew.

    Now, they are attacking from the east of Sujiatun and Lighthouse. In other words, they can only come from the northeast.  "

    Having said this, Ishihara Wanji pointed at Fushun and continued: "Based on the news of the fall of Fushun a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess that this Chinese army should come from Fushun.

    The number of troops that can contain the two divisions of the Imperial Army will definitely not be a handful. It can be seen that the Chinese Army will not have too many troops in Fushun.

    As long as we capture Fushun, bypass the Hun River, and retreat southward through the Sarhu Mountains, we can withdraw our troops to the Liaodong Peninsula.

    At the same time, the imperial troops along Sujiatun, Dingtao, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Anshan and other areas can also withdraw as much as possible. In this way, we can ultimately maintain a strength of 150,000 to 60,000 people.

    It is not a problem to stick to the blockade of the Liaodong Peninsula.  "

    Muto Nobuyoshi couldn't help but nodded, and after looking at each other with Hashimoto Toranosuke, Muto Nobuyoshi finally made up his mind and said: "Just do what Ishihara-kun said, Hashimoto-kun, go and notify Hata Shunroku immediately.  "

    "Hai!" Hashimoto Toranosuke suddenly lowered his head and responded, then quickly took the order with his saber in hand.

    ?……………………

    &nbsp; Shenyang City, Japanese Army Headquarters.

    The roar of artillery outside the city, the shouts of killing, the intensive gunfire, and the sound of explosions can already be clearly heard in the Japanese military headquarters.

    All the Japs are very busy and nervous.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Shenyang Japanese Army, Shunroku Hata was sitting in front of the giant sand table in the war room like a statue, still holding his saber in his right hand.

    "Your Excellency, General, Commander Muto has an urgent call." Suddenly, a Japanese communications soldier walked over quickly, suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention, saluting.

    Shunroku Hata looked up at him, and then at Chief of Staff Noda Cuckoo. Noda Cuckoo understood and quickly stepped forward to take the message from the communications soldier.

    After waving his hand to signal the communications soldier to leave, he respectfully handed the message to Shunroku Hata.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 213: The Great Victory of Shenyang (Part 2)

    Shunroku Hata took the message with a sullen face, and when he looked away, his extremely gloomy face suddenly turned livid, and his brows were even more tightly knitted.  <-> Noda Cuckoo asked curiously: "General, what did Commander Muto say?" Hata Shunroku did not answer, but directly handed the message to Noda Cuckoo.  Noda Cuckoo took a quick look at the message and his expression suddenly changed.  Suppressing his excitement, Noda Cuckoo asked: "General, what should we do? Do you follow the order to organize the evacuation?" Hata Shunroku looked up at Noda Cuckoo with a serious expression on his face. He looked at him until his heart went crazy, and then he said  : "Noda-kun, you and I have been working together for a while. Please tell me your opinion. Do you think we can continue to hold on to Shenyang?" "Speak from your heart without any psychological burden." Noda Cuckoo's eyes flashed with a trace.  Confused, he finally had the courage to say: "Reporting to the general, I believe that what Commander Muto said in the message is reasonable. We did lose the Shenyang battle." After saying that, Noda Cugu lowered his head and did not dare to look.  Shunroku Hata's gloomy face and eyes can scare people to death.  But he never expected Hata Shunroku to say something shocking: "Then retreat." Noda Cuckoo raised his head and looked at Hata Shunroku to make sure he didn't seem to be joking.  Just then he lowered his head suddenly: "Hai!" He turned around and walked away quickly with his saber in hand.  In the north of the city, in the first-line trenches of the ** 2nd Division, Alice and Irene were finally found, and were eventually taken away from the first-line trenches on the grounds of safety.  Before leaving, Erin and Alice took as many precious photos as possible.  Because some of the soldiers in the photos are likely to die in the next moment.  These photos may even become the only images they have left in the world.  Beida camp.  When Alice and Irene were brought back to their starting point, the attack base on the front line of the Northeastern New Army.  They found that the security at the base seemed to be much stronger than before they left.  Soon, several military vehicles drove into the base from the rear.  The few people who got off the car immediately made Alice's eyes light up. She turned around and said to Irene in confusion: "Irene, look who is coming." Irene followed what Alice expected.  Zhang Xinghan was seen getting out of the car surrounded by a group of officers.  Walking towards the large military tent of the division headquarters of the ** 2nd Division.  "Zhang Xinghan, he has also come to the front line." Eileen was a little surprised. "As a commander-in-chief, why is he here? Isn't he afraid of danger?" But Alice said to herself with a smile: "Maybe  This is where his charm lies. As far as I know, in previous battles, this commander-in-chief has led his troops deep into the enemy's rear more than once, and each time he has achieved a brilliant victory." "This time it counts.  Without going deep into the enemy's rear, his troops had already taken the initiative and completely suppressed the Japanese army. This was at best a visit to the enemy's command post. "Alice, are you in love with him?" Eileen said suddenly.  .  Alice blushed a little and patted her gently.  She said coquettishly: "Irene, what did you say?" "Oh my God, you didn't know that your affectionate look just now was like a young girl in spring!" Irene teased with a smile.  “Please, Zhang is already married. So it’s impossible for me to like him.” Alice pretended to be calm to hide her guilty conscience.  "Marriage? This is not a problem. Don't all Chinese men like three wives and four concubines? As long as you are willing and he is willing, the two of you can be together." Irene said with a deliberate smile.  "Eileen, are you willing to share your lover with others?" Alice asked directly.  "If I have someone I like, I am willing to give everything for him. As long as he is happy, I can share him with other women." Irene admitted&#x771f;'s way.  "Oh, my God, you must be crazy." Alice felt a little dizzy. She had to say that the somewhat straightforward colleague in front of her had a somewhat different ideological concept from her who was born into a noble family and received a strict education.  .  At the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Division, all the division commanders on the front line of the Northeast New Army except Huang Xiansheng have arrived.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hands towards them and motioned for them to sit down. He put his hands on the conference table and looked around everyone, saying: "Brothers and brothers, the victory in the Shenyang battle is imminent. Soon we will be able to capture Shenyang and then regain the entire South Manchuria area.  Therefore, I hope you will cooperate sincerely and fight with all your strength in the next battle! "Commander, please rest assured that we will do our best to shed the last drop of blood for the country and the nation!" Du Ting, commander of the 10th Independent Division, took the lead in expressing his stance.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now the battle in Shenyang has reached the most critical moment. I went to the front line to supervise the battle in person, just to inspire all the soldiers in the army to fight the enemy bravely. I will immediately inform all divisions in my name who will be the first."  Invading Shenyang City will reward you with a thousand yuan, and your military rank will be promoted to three levels!" Suddenly, Shen Xingye walked in with a hurried look, walked straight to Zhang Xinghan, and whispered in his ear: "Commander, I am lurking in Shenyang!  Agents in the city reported that the Japanese in the city were concentrating their forces toward the east of the city, with unknown intentions." "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and then he said, "Monitor closely and report at any time." "Yes!"  After saluting, he turned and left.  "Commander, what's wrong?" Jiang Baili, who was sitting under Zhang Xinghan, asked.  "The Japanese in Shenyang City are gathering troops towards the east of the city, with unknown intentions." Zhang Xinghan said.  "East of the city?" Jiang Baili stood up after hearing this and walked towards the map.  Zhang Xinghan stood up, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others also stood up one after another and followed Zhang Xinghan.#x4e86;In front of the map.  Staring at the map, Jiang Baili mused: "Commander, the northeast of Shenyang City is Dongshanzuizi, and the east of the city is the ruins of Dongta Airport. Are the little devils planning to break out from the east of the city?" "It's not impossible. Now Dongshanzuizi has been captured by me.  They are under military control, but the East Tower Airport is still in the hands of the Japanese. It would be really troublesome for them to break out from the east gate." Zhang Xinghan nodded and frowned.  Due to terrain restrictions, the main forces of the Northeast New Army are indeed deployed in the north and southwest of the city.  Only two regiments of the 10th Division occupied Dongshan Zuizi.  And the south of the city is still in the hands of the Japanese army. If the Japanese army really breaks through from the east of the city, it is hard to say whether the two regiments of the Northeast New Army can withstand it.  "Commander, Dongshan Zuizi is guarding the main road along the river. It will not be easy for the Japanese to break through our army's blockade and interception. My two regiments can definitely support the arrival of reinforcements." Du Ting, commander of the Independent 10th Division, said.  Zhang Xinghan was lost in thought without comment.  Jiang Baili explained: "Commander Du, you don't know something. If the Japanese army really plans to break out from the east of the city, they will definitely make thorough preparations, such as containing and preventing our reinforcements from reinforcing Dongshan Zuizi. Once the reinforcements are blocked, the strength of the two regiments will be reduced."  , I’m afraid we can’t stop the Japanese army from breaking through with all their strength, so we still have to make a foolproof strategy.” Zhang Xinghan thought for a long time, went up and looked at the map, and finally said: “If the Japanese really break through from the east of the city, then the 10th Division will be the best.  After the two regiments have tried their best to stop them, there is no need to fight to let them go. "Commander, if we let the little devil go like this, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?" said the commander of the 9th Independent Division anxiously.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he should not be anxious, and said: "If one hundred thousand Japanese troops really fight to the death in Shenyang City and engage in street fighting with us in a war of attrition, then it is really not that easy to bite off. The other way around.  If the Japanese leave the city defense and do not have the buildings in the city as bunkers, they will directly face the crushing attack of our tank regiments., I would rather fight the Japanese in wild encounters than in urban assaults.  “Furthermore, I don’t think any of you here want to blow up such a thousand-year-old city into ruins, right?  " Everyone nodded, Zhao Zhenfan said: "Commander, once the Japanese break out, it is an important issue whether we can stop them in time, otherwise they may really slip away.  " "There is no need to worry about this. The hundreds of miles long Hun River Basin has become the best natural barrier to intercept the Japanese army. Now, all the bridges on the Hun River from Shenyang to Fushun have been destroyed by our air force.  The Japanese troops who broke out of the encirclement were severely lacking in river-crossing equipment and would never dare or be able to forcibly cross the river halfway. Therefore, their target must be Fushun County.  Only by capturing Fushun can they bypass the Hun River via Saarhu and retreat to the southeast.  Therefore, as long as we hold Fushun, the Japanese army will be unable to escape.  "Zhang Xinghan said calmly. "Guard Fushun?  "Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan's eyes lit up, and then they said with concern: "Commander, the main force of Huang Jingzhong's 1st Independent Division is fighting the Japanese army in Sujiatun and Lighthouse. There should not be many troops left in Fushun. Can they stop it?  Survive the Japanese onslaught?  " "Therefore, the two infantry regiments of the Independent 10th Division stationed in Dongshanzuizi should immediately withdraw from the battle after inflicting a certain blow on the enemy's breakout troops, and use the mobility advantage of our motorized infantry regiment to rush to Fushun and cooperate with Huang Xiansheng's troops.  Defend Fushun City and block the Japanese breakout troops. After we have eaten up all the remaining Japanese troops in Shenyang, we can then concentrate our overwhelmingly superior forces to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops and Fushun City.  "Zhang Xinghan explained the deployment. "Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Xinghan paused, and immediately made a deployment: "Now that the battlefield situation is clear to everyone, I will order the independent 2nd Division, 4th Division, and 3rd Division."  The 3rd Division, the 9th Division and the 10th Division continued their attack on Shenyang City overnight, not giving the Japanese any breathing space!  &nbsp; Remember, there is no need to save artillery shells, use our firepower advantage to bombard me hard, and kill the Japanese troops as much as possible.  "    "yes!  "Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan, Liu Jianguo and others stood up and responded in unison, and immediately took the order to leave. "It was night, the Northeast New Army's four heavy artillery brigades plus five divisions' direct artillery regiments, a total of 13 heavy artillery regiments composed of powerful artillery.  The group began to continuously bombard Shenyang City. In the dark night, the shells passed through the sky with flames, as magnificent as meteors. After falling into the city, there were explosions, and the huge flames were like fireworks.  In the dazzling fire, some buildings were instantly destroyed, and the Japanese soldiers hiding inside were instantly destroyed. In the center of the city, most of the headquarters staff and communication personnel were burning all the documents that could not be taken away.  The headquarters was busy. In the war room, Shunroku Hata was still sitting upright as he had during the day. At this time, Chief of Staff Noda Cugu walked in with a heavy step, holding a saber. "General, the vehicles are ready, and the breakout troops are already there.  All set and ready to go.  "Noda Cuckoo bowed respectfully. "Hata Shunroku smoked a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs, and said meaningfully: "Noda-kun, you lead the troops to break through. In order to protect the Liaodong Peninsula, for the imperial army  Save the last base in Manchuria as a springboard for future counterattacks. You must bring these troops back to Dalian as much as possible.  " Noda Cuckoo had an ominous premonition in his heart and asked hurriedly: "General, what about you?  " Hata Shunroku smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "I will stay and lead 50,000 imperial warriors to fight Zhang Xinghan to the death!  "No, General, you can't stay. You are an outstanding senior general. The empire still needs you. The Chinese have a saying that if you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about having no firewood. General, there is no need for you to do something unnecessary."  sacrifice.  "Noda Cuckoo was anxious and quickly advised. "It's a useless sacrifice."9298;?  "Hata Shunroku smiled bitterly and said: "In the Battle of Shenyang, we will lose at least 150,000 troops, 150,000, nearly seven divisions. As their commander, I have an unshirkable responsibility. The only thing I can do now is  Yes, that is to work with them to serve His Majesty the Emperor.  " "But General" Noda Fuki wanted to persuade him again, but Shunroku Hata suddenly interrupted him with a loud roar: "That's enough, there is nothing more. Listen to me, you must complete these 60,000 troops."  Bring them back to Dalian. This is an order, execute it immediately!  " Noda Cuckoo had no choice but to lower his head suddenly and said sadly: "Hai, General, please take care!  ” ……………………… At this time, the Northeast New Army infantry outside the city had begun charging again. In order to avoid being shelled, almost all the Japanese city defense troops had withdrawn into the city. The attacking troops easily broke through the Shenyang city defenses.  , attacked the city from two directions. However, the attacking troops who entered the city were not able to penetrate very long before they were met with a fierce street fight by the Japanese army. At the same time, the Japanese army's position outside the south gate broke out.  Fierce fighting broke out again. In order to cover the retreat of the troops, the Japanese troops at the south gate even launched a counterattack against the 3rd Independent Division of the Northeast New Army. At the same time, 60,000 Japanese troops began to move from the east gate of Shenyang and Dongta Airport to the river.  After the two regiments of the 10th Independent Division blocked the enemy for a while, they quickly evacuated and headed towards Fushun in military trucks. The Japanese front-line troops were able to capture Dongshanzuizi, and 60,000 Japanese troops began to pass through Dongshanzuizi.  , began the evacuation to the east, but little did they know that Zhang Xinghan had already dug a grave for them and was waiting for them (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 214: The War of Purging the City

    In Fushun City, thousands of Japanese troops are storming the defensive positions outside the city of Duli 1st Division and Duli 10th Division reinforcements.  Everywhere there were tongues of flames flying back and forth like small meteors, dense bullets whizzing by, and from time to time someone was shot and fell down.  Of course, more of them are Japanese troops on the offensive side.  In a forest about ten miles west of Fushun, Noda Cuckoo was pacing back and forth anxiously in the temporary headquarters.  Several high-power radio stations next to him were ticking away.  "General, the Chinese Army has invaded the north gate of Shenyang and is currently expanding its occupied area. The south of the city is also engaged in a fierce battle." Suddenly a communications soldier took off his earphones and stood up to salute and reported.  Noda Cuckoo stopped, raised his hand and said: "Send a message to Commander Shunroku Hata. We were strongly blocked by the China Army in Fushun. We are currently working hard to attack. Please hold on." The communications soldier saluted, sat down and quickly  The telegram was sent out.   Noda Cuckoo looked at the night sky outside and sighed without trace. He didn't know what the final outcome of tonight's battle would be, but he knew that if he couldn't break through the Fushun Northeast New Army's blockade before dawn.  Then his 60,000-strong army will face annihilation.  "Commander!" Noda Cuckoo suddenly shouted outside.  "Sir, what are your orders?" A Japanese communications soldier rushed in with a rifle on his back, stood upright and saluted.  "Order the attacking troops to capture Fushun before dawn and open up the way for the imperial army to move in!" Noda Cuckoo said in a voice.  "Hai!" The Japanese messenger suddenly lowered his head, turned around and walked away quickly.  ………………………… Fushun City, Huang Xiansheng brought several subordinates to the city of Xicheng Gate with several subordinates.  In the position outside the city, the flares rising from time to time have illuminated the entire night sky as bright as day.  Huang Xiansheng could clearly see groups of Japanese troops launching wave-like charges towards their own positions regardless of life or death.  All kinds of light and heavy firepower on the own side's position suddenly opened up, and the dense rain of bullets intertwined into a rain of death fire like chains of life-eating fire.  Under the crossfire, the attacking Japanese fell in pieces.  "Master, Commander-in-Chief Zhang is calling!" At this time, a communications adjutant hurried up to the city with a message in hand.  "Read it!" Huang Xiansheng ordered without looking back.  "This is the main force of the Japanese army escaping from Shenyang. We must use all our strength to intercept it at the foot of Fushun City. The main force of our new army is clearing out the remaining Japanese invaders in Shenyang. The air force will give you air fire support after dawn. Please hold on until the main force completes the encirclement.  , wipe out the enemies in Shenyang and achieve a great victory, Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army," the communications adjutant finished reading quickly.  "I know, call the commander-in-chief back. I, Huang Xiansheng, am here. There will never be any problems in Fushun City. Please rest assured!" Huang Xiansheng waved his hand.  "Yes!" The communications adjutant saluted, turned around and left the city.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In Shenyang City, the Japanese Army Headquarters.  "Your Excellency, General, Chief of Staff Noda and the others are in trouble in Fushun, but Chief of Staff Noda said that they will capture Fushun as soon as possible and open up the way for evacuation and transfer." A Japanese major who stayed behind saluted Shunroku Hata.  "Understood." Shunroku Hata nodded solemnly and asked, "How is the situation outside?" "The Chinese have invaded the city from the north and west and are advancing to the southeast. The imperial army  We are trying our best to resist, and the position outside the city towards the south gate is already in danger. It is estimated that we will not be able to hold on for long," the Japanese Major replied tremblingly.  Shunroku Hata closed his eyes in despair, and immediately mobilized 60,000 troops. The strength of the imperial army in Shenyang and the new northeastern army was basically the same in an instant.  transformed into an absolute disadvantage.  And after so many days of fierce fighting, and now with no way out, the Japanese army in Shenyang has been depleted in both morale and spirit to a relatively low level.  The combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before the war started.  Now I am just holding on with a samurai spirit of determination.  Shunroku Hata understands that the last moment is coming soon and it won’t be long.  After waving to the major, signaling him to leave, Shunroku Hata lit a cigarette again and began to wait quietly for the last moment to arrive.  “Charge!” At the north gate of Shenyang, Ge Quanwu, commander of the 1st Regiment of Duli’s 10th Division, holding a machine gun and leading his men, was charging into the city.  After the Battle of Guanjiapu, Zhang Xinghan quickly added soldiers to Ge Quanwu's regiment.  Since the other two main regiments of Duli's 10th Division were all deployed,They arrived in Fushun, so Ge ??Quanwu's group was dragged onto the battlefield again.  With the assistance of the Duli 10th Division Tank Regiment, together with the Duli 2nd Division, the friendly forces of the 4th Division broke into Shenyang City from the northwest two directions and were responsible for clearing out the remaining Japanese enemies in the city.  Ge Quanwu led about a company of infantry along a street to attack in the southeast direction.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  The tongues of flames formed a dense network of crossfire. Several soldiers in front of Ge Quanwu were unable to escape and were shot on the spot and fell into a pool of blood.  Ge Quanwu quickly rolled on the spot, and the soldiers who followed him fell down one after another, and hid in the ruined buildings on both sides of the street.  Ge Quanwu observed and found that the Japanese had deployed at least three heavy machine guns and four or five light machine guns in the house in front, forming a dense crossfire that blocked their way forward.  Immediately turned his head and shouted: "Artillery, give it a damn!" More than a dozen grenadiers and artillerymen who followed the army set up their own 50mm grenades and 60mm mortars.  Although these two light weapons are not large in caliber, they are easy to carry and are most suitable for use by company and platoon-level troops as attack firepower.  The troops under the jurisdiction of each division and regiment of the Northeast New Army have a large amount of equipment.  Not long after, two 60mm mortars and four 50cm grenade launchers were set up one after another.  The first to fire were four grenades, which were much simpler and more convenient to operate than mortars.  "Boom, boom, boom" With a few muffled sounds, four small grenades roared and landed near the two Japanese heavy machine gun fire points, exploding with a bang.  The firepower of the two heavy machine guns suddenly stopped, but before the smoke dissipated, they began to roar again.  “Obviously, the Japs have reinforced the buildings, and ordinary small grenades can’t do anything to them.  “Boom…” There were two more muffled sounds.  Two mortars also opened fire.  "Boom boom" Two deafening explosions sounded almost at the same time. The dazzling fire instantly swallowed up the two Japanese machine gunners together with their machine gun bunkers, and a crooked light machine gun went silent.  "Good job, keep fucking that son of a bitch!" Ge Quanwu said loudly and excitedly.  The main gunner began to adjust the two mortars to fire at Zhu Yuan. After several consecutive shots, the Japanese light machine gun bunkers were destroyed one by one.  But the heavy machine gun bunker was helpless. Although the bullet rain composed of three heavy machine guns had some blind spots.  But Ge Quanwu understood that if he charged forward like this, the casualties would definitely be considerable.  "Commander, I'll lead my men up to it. Let's blow it up to hell." A captain officer was a little impulsive.  "No, there is no need to sacrifice the lives of many brothers for these little devils. Wait a moment and find two tanks to assist us. Go quickly!" Ge Quanwu was breathing heavily.  "Yes!" The captain and company commander quickly got up and walked away quickly.  "Fire cover!" Ge Quanwu picked up the machine gun in his hand and opened fire violently. The hot bullets hit near one of the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower points, and the masonry and masonry of the wall where they were hit suddenly fell off.  The submachine guns, rifles and machine guns in the hands of other officers and soldiers also opened fire.  The dense bullets immediately filled the streets with smoke and sparks flying everywhere.  Several machine gunners even lay on the ground, set up general-purpose machine guns, and began to use the shooting blind spots of the Japanese heavy machine guns to continuously fire short shots at the Japanese shooting holes.  Under the cover of fire from his companions, the captain and company commander ran smoothly along the side of the street, ducking down, towards the way he came.  Several artillerymen also opened fire from time to time.  The bombing blocked the enemy's sight, so they had no choice but to scan wildly and blindly.  Not long after, Ge Quanwu and his soldiers heard a deafening roar of engines behind them.  I hurriedly looked back and saw two bright and dazzling lights coming over me.  The light on their eyes hurt, and they had to lower their heads to avoid it.  "Regiment seat, it's our tank. The tank is coming up." A soldier in the corner shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs.  Soon, two No. 4 tanks arrived one after another. The captain jumped down from behind one of the tanks, and quickly rushed to Ge Quanwu's side with his body bent.  "Regiment seat, I stopped the two iron lumps from the first battalion of the tank regiment!" "Good job" Ge Quanwu, with the help of the ammunition man, changed the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun in his hand and said: "Get ready.  "Charge." At this time, the three Japanese firepower points had discovered the two tanks that had suddenly arrived.A big uninvited guest.  The Japanese soldiers were deeply fearful, and the machine gunners went crazy and poured all their bullets on the leading Panzer IV tank.  The dense bullets hitting the tank had no other purpose than to burst out a series of dazzling sparks.  Under attack, the tank crews no longer needed Ge Quanwu's orders, and the main gunner began to adjust the muzzle under the command of the commander.  The two parallel machine guns on the tank also began to fire back violently, and two dazzling tongues of flames rushed towards the Japanese firepower.  Soon the tank guns were aimed at the most popular Japanese firepower point.  "Boom" There was a muffled sound, and a 75mm armor-piercing bullet whizzed towards one of the Japanese machine gun fire points, wrapped in flames.  "Boom" There was a loud noise, and the armor-piercing bullet easily penetrated the fortifications built by the Japanese. The scorching high temperature and the explosion shock wave caused the death of several Japanese soldiers inside the firepower point instantly.  Then, the tank crews followed the same pattern and easily killed the other two Japanese firepower points.  Seeing that the obstacle had been removed, Ge Quanwu jumped up and shouted sternly: "Brothers, charge with me!" "Charge, kill!" Hundreds of officers and soldiers immediately poured out from both sides of the street, following Ge Quanwu  Rush forward.  The two No. 4 tanks also rumbled into action, driving forward in coordination with the infantry. The machine gunners on the tanks mounted their machine guns with vigilance, ready to fire at any time.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 215: The Last Moment

    While Ge Quanwu continued to advance under the cover and assistance of his own tanks, other troops of the 2nd and 4th Division of the Japanese Army were also advancing almost side by side with him.  The Japanese lacked effective anti-tank weapons. With the close cooperation of the Northeast New Army infantry and tanks, they retreated steadily, and the defense lines in the city fell one after another.  The situation in Shenyang City is excellent.  At the same time, the fierce battle in the south of Shenyang City also reached its final moment.  Under the fierce attacks of nearly two divisions of the West Route Army, the Japanese army, whose main force had been exhausted, could no longer hold on.  After losing a large number of effective forces, the Japanese army finally collapsed in the last fierce attack of the Japanese 3rd Division, and hurriedly retreated along the trenches towards the city.  Thousands of new officers and soldiers from the Northeast took advantage of the situation to attack across the board, crossing trenches one after another and chasing after them all the way to the city gate.  At this time, the Japanese troops who were the first to withdraw into the city had already set up many machine guns on the top of the city.  " Suddenly opened fire from a high position, and the pursuing Northeastern New Army officers and soldiers suddenly fell into a pool of blood one after another.  Liu Zhenhu, the deputy division commander and commander of the first regiment who went to the former enemy to command and organize the attack, was stunned when he saw this. He immediately shouted: "Artillery! Artillery! Blow up the light and heavy machine guns on the top of the city for me, quickly!" The adjutant quickly took the order and left.  Soon, the artillerymen directly under several infantry battalions were notified to begin shelling towards the city.  "Boom, boom, boom" Shells fell into the city and inside the city, and the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns were blown away from the city.  The Japanese soldiers who had just retreated into the city were also blown to pieces, causing heavy casualties.  With the help of artillery cover.  Dozens of new Northeastern troops quickly approached the city gate, using semi-automatic rifles in their hands.  The machine guns and machine guns fired fiercely.  mow down large areas of the Japanese soldiers who have just retreated into the city but have not yet entered the fortifications.  The Japanese had already built barricades in the city, and several light and heavy machine guns opened fire in an attempt to block the city gate opening with firepower.  Dozens of Northeastern New Army members at the head of the battle had already rushed to a very close distance. After the first few comrades fell down, the two soldiers behind each picked off a German wooden handle grenade from their waists.  After skillfully and quickly unscrewing the back cover and pulling the fuse, he threw it forward with all his strength.  Almost at the same time as they threw the grenades, a burst of Japanese heavy machine gun bullets hit them one after another.  Their figures were startled, and then they knelt forward with unwilling expressions on their faces.  "Boom boom" Two grenades were accurately thrown into the Japanese ring fortifications.  Suddenly there was a violent explosion.  Seventy-eight Japanese machine gunners were killed immediately.  The New Army soldiers at the back had no time to care about the life and death of their comrades. They were already red-eyed and roared one by one, holding guns and firing fiercely as they rushed forward.  As they rushed into the city and opened the way with rapid and fierce firepower, more and more soldiers poured into the city like a tide.  They crossed the Japanese ring barricade one after another, and when the dozens of soldiers at the front were almost all killed or injured.  They took over the task of the commandos, concentrated their submachine guns and machine guns and continued to charge down the street with fierce firepower.  The other troops entering the city also quickly dispersed and began to advance along every street.  Whenever they passed through a narrow alley, they did not stupidly carry their guns in like the Japanese soldiers in later movies, but directly took off a few grenades and threw them in.  After a violent explosion.  Basically, the Japanese soldiers hiding inside were either dead or injured.  When encountering a Japanese machine gun blockade, the infantry will stop charging and call for tanks and artillery support from the rear.  Taking advantage of the armored tanks and artillery fire, we cleared the obstacles in the city one by one and gradually advanced towards the center of the city.  ?????…………???Beidaying.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the conference table and smoking cigarettes. Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan and several staff members were discussing something in a low voice around the map.  Everyone is waiting for news about the attacking troops.  ?Suddenly.  A rush of footsteps broke the silence of the conference room.  Everyone including Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others turned around when they heard the sound, and saw a communications soldier walking in quickly, saluting Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili: "Report, Commander, Chief of Staff, the West Route Army has captured the Japanese position south of the city, now.  We have already entered the city, and our army's divisions and regiments are currently trying their best to attack, while clearing out the remaining Japanese invaders in the occupied area, while squeezing the remaining Japanese invaders into the center of the city!" "Where are all the troops now?" Zhang Xinghan heard this.  He put out the cigarette butts, stood up and walked to Jiang Baili.  Jiang Baili combined the latest battle reports on the map and roughly marked the situation between China and Japan in the city.  After Zhang Xinghan read it, he immediately said: "This battle cannot be so big. Now the occupied areas of our divisions and regiments are almost connected, and the Japanese army is also forced to move closer to the center. If this continues, in the end, the Japanese army will"If we can muster a considerable amount of troops to resist stubbornly, we will definitely fall into a fierce offensive and defensive battle with us."  " Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said, "Order each division to immediately deploy small groups of elite troops to attack in a roundabout way. Don't worry about the Japs in the front, and go deep behind the Japs. We must divide the Japs as much as possible and surround them in Shenyang City.  Annihilate them one by one!  " "Now that we have the advantage in terms of military strength, the more intertwined the situation between the enemy and us is, the better it is for us. After all, we can't delay in Shenyang for too long, otherwise the pressure on Fushun will increase even more!  " "Well, deal with the remaining enemies as soon as possible, the sooner the better.  "Jiang Baili nodded in agreement happily. After the communications troops quickly finished recording, they saluted and turned around and left quickly. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Jiang Baili, "Jiang Baili".  The platoon units began to infiltrate and harass the Japanese army's rear, and organized various Japanese troops to move closer to the city center. Although small groups of troops were ambushed by small groups of Japanese troops from time to time, they also posed a great threat to the Japanese troops and made them afraid to retreat with confidence.  , there were gunshots everywhere in the dark night, and the Japanese soldiers were fighting fiercely in the occupied area, fighting head-on with the frontal troops of the Northeastern New Army. As a result, the Japanese casualties doubled in fierce fighting until dawn.  More than half of the 40,000 to 50,000 Japanese troops were killed or wounded, and the remaining ones were divided into several pieces by several divisions of the Northeast New Army. The communication with each other was completely cut off, and they fell into a dangerous situation of fighting on their own. In the early morning, Beida Camp, Zhang Xinghan and  Jiang Baili stayed up almost all night. In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Xinghan couldn't bear it any longer, so he closed his eyes and leaned on the chair to take a nap. Suddenly, he woke up without any surprise. Hearing the sound of gunshots seemed to have weakened, he raised his head and asked: "  Chief of Staff, what's going on in Shenyang City? Have the Japanese troops been completely wiped out?" "Not yet. The Japanese troops in the city have been scattered and surrounded by our troops in large residential areas in the east, north and south of the city. They are separated from each other.  The communication with them has been cut off by us, and the annihilation of the entire army is a certainty.  "However, these Japanese troops have an extremely strong will to resist. If we want to annihilate them all, it will take at least one day, or even longer."  "Jiang Baili said. "What's the situation in Fushun?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a frown. As soon as he finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried in: "Report to the commander, Fushun urgent call.  "    "read!  "Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to signal. "The Japanese army has become anxious. After early morning, they have organized no less than twenty fierce attacks in succession, almost without interruption. Our defending regiments suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, they received reinforcements from the air force just now.  We can persist, but in order to avoid further increase in casualties, we ask the commander to come as soon as possible to encircle the Japanese troops outside Fushun City with our troops, annihilate them all in one fell swoop, and kill Huang Xiansheng, commander of the 1st Division.  After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan frowned even more, pondered for a while, and said: "Ask each division to report to me in detail the specific location and range of the remaining Japanese troops in Shenyang City, and then report it to the pilot immediately.  Tell Gao Zhihang to dispatch all bombers to carry out devastating air strikes on the occupied areas.  In order to deal with the remaining enemy as soon as possible, the main force quickly marched eastward to encircle Fushun!  " "Yes, I will make arrangements right away.  "Jiang Baili readily agreed and turned away with the communications troops. About half an hour later, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang personally led 80 He111 medium bombers and 70 Stuka bombers to fly over Shenyang. According to the ground forces  In just ten minutes, the entire city of Shenyang was enveloped in thick smoke and fire. Nearly two hundred bombers dropped a total of nearly one million kilograms of aerial bombs of various calibers.  . In the area occupied by the Japanese army, after the smoke and fire dissipated, there was no intact building, and the fate of the Japanese soldiers hiding inside could be imagined. Fortunately, Shenyang Jue.  Most of the people had already evacuated, leaving only some misers and traitors, so as not to cause a large number of civilian casualties. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Xinghan temporarily decided to carry out the devastating bombing. After the bombing was over, the Northeast New Army divisions on the ground.  The troops almost swarmed up, but they basically became a corpse collection team. In fact, they were not even a corpse collection team. Most of the Japanese soldiers were destroyed in the bombing, and there were no bones left. So what about some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive.  Can it withstand the wolf-like new Northeast Army? After some sporadic battles, each division basically cleared the Japanese troops in the east, north and south of the city, and heavily surrounded Hata Shunroku's headquarters. At this time, Hata was surrounded.  There are still less than one regiment of troops gathered around the Junliu headquarters. Around the headquarters, about two thousand Japanese soldiers are setting up defenses and preparing for the final resistance.???In the headquarters, Shunroku Hata had smoked out all his box of Sakura cigarettes, and he looked extremely decadent.  "General, the Chinese have surrounded this place." A Japanese major came in with the same expression on his face and saluted feebly.  "Has the last moment finally arrived?" Shunroku Hata took off his glasses and asked, "How is Noda-kun doing?" "It hasn't been broken yet, but it will be soon!" said the Japanese Major.  Shunroku Hata nodded, waved at him to signal him to leave, stood up and walked towards the bedroom carrying his general sword.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 216: Encirclement of Fushun

    "Da da da" Ge Quanwu led a group of subordinates armed with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles and rushed into Shunroku Hata's headquarters.  He fired fiercely at the main hall and side rooms in the yard, leaving holes in the door panels.  There was no movement in the room. Ge Quanwu waved his hands to the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers immediately kicked in the door in pairs with guns.  Soon, they all came back.  "How is it? Are they all dead?" Ge Quanwu asked eagerly.  Several soldiers nodded in unison, and Ge Quanwu pushed them away directly and came to the wing that the Japanese used as a telecommunications room.  When he walked to the door, the sight he saw shocked Ge Quanwu, a cold-blooded butcher who had killed countless little devils, and he was stunned on the spot.  The telecommunications room was littered with corpses. Many of the corpses were female. Judging from their ages, they should all be female communications soldiers of the Japanese army.  At this moment, these female communication soldiers were all naked without exception. It was obvious that they had all been raped before they died.  "Fuck, little Japan is a bunch of beasts, light a fire and burn this whole place down for me!" Ge Quanwu turned around and shouted.  "Tuanzuo, an old Japanese soldier who committed seppuku was found in this room!" At this time, a soldier's voice came from the back of the main hall.  Ge Quanwu hurriedly ran over, and the old devil he saw was naturally Hata Shunroku who walked into the bedroom with a knife not long ago.  After the old devil committed suicide, his headquarters immediately fell into chaos. The garrison squadron leader took the lead and rushed into the telecommunications room, raped all the Japanese female soldiers, and then killed them all. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Women of the Yamato nation must not be insulted by the Chinese.  Such a cruel scene.  Something also happened at the field hospital behind the headquarters at almost the same time. All Japanese female nurses were killed by their wounded soldiers after they were defeated.  After taking Shunroku Hata's sword away, Ge Quanwu ordered people to set fire to the Japanese army's headquarters and field hospital.  …………………… Beida Camp, Jiang Baili walked into the conference room excitedly and reported to Zhang Xinghan: “Commander, all the Japanese troops in the city have been wiped out by our army, and Shenyang City has been captured.” “Okay. Order everyone.  The tank regiment of the division immediately formed a temporary tank group and advanced non-stop towards Fushun. The other divisions had to gather immediately when they were resting and rush to Fushun as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan said happily after hearing this.  "Commander, all divisions and regiments have been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army for a day and a night without a wink. Should we let them rest for a while before going on the road? Anyway, with the reinforcements of the tank cluster and the air force, Fushun will not be lost for a while." Jiang Baili tried to persuade.  "Time is life. We can't wait any longer. I'm telling all the brothers in the army to work hard. This battle should only be fought quickly. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us." Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully: "We must fight as soon as possible.  Annihilate the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Hun River. Then quickly send troops south to recapture all our lost territory. There is no time left for me. " Jiang Baili said no more, nodded and left.  ?????…………… In Fushun City, the fierce battle between the two sides is still continuing.  Although the Northeast New Army in Fushun has received strong support from the Air Force.  But the Japanese troops, who had no way to escape, kept attacking like crazy, even though there were air raids and bombing raids by Chinese aircraft above them from time to time.  A small forest ten miles away.  Japanese temporary headquarters.  Noda Cuckoo also didn't sleep a wink all night. At this moment, his eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes. The 60,000-strong army almost took turns to go into battle and attacked fiercely all night.  Unable to capture Fushun yet, Noda Cuckoo inevitably felt a sense of desolation and despair in his heart, and his face was full of anxiety.  Suddenly, a Japanese communications soldier stood up, saluted and reported to Noda Cuckoo: "Sir, Shenyang has been lost." "Huh?" Noda Cuckoo's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "Where is General Hata Shunroku?" "Hata Shunroku?"  "Commander, together with most of his colleagues in the headquarters, he committed suicide to serve His Majesty the Emperor," the Japanese communications soldier said with a sad expression.  "What?" Although he had known for a long time that this might be the ending, Noda Cuckoo still couldn't accept it.  He stumbled, his body was unstable and he almost fell over. The communications soldier stepped forward and helped him: "Sir, are you okay?" Noda Cuckoo calmed down, shook his head and said: "I'm fine, don't worry about this for now.  Spread the news, otherwise it will affect the morale of the army. "Hai, I understand," the Japanese communications soldier suddenly lowered his head.  After calming down, Noda Cuckoo said with a heavy tone: "Order the troops to break through the Chinese defense line within an hour, otherwise the attacking troops will be executed by military law from the captain down!"  Cuckoo, this old devilAfter receiving the death order, the Japanese army became more crazy and more fearless of death.  For a time, the pressure on the Fushun defenders doubled. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the forward positions of the third regiment of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army had been completely broken through by the Japanese army.  The commander of the third regiment quickly led the regiment's direct guard company to attack, and was able to temporarily stabilize the position.  But the Japanese offensive did not weaken at all, and the Japanese charged one after another, like ocean waves, endless.  Some general-purpose machine guns don’t even have time to change barrels.  At this critical moment, more than 400 tanks from the direct tank regiments of the five Shenyang divisions arrived.  Noda Cuckoo deployed a rearguard force of no less than 10,000 people twenty miles away from Fushun.  The purpose is to prevent Shenyang’s Chinese army from chasing after them so that they can have enough time to respond.  However, due to the rush of time, the proximity to the Hun River and the loose soil, the defense line built by the Japanese rearguard failed to prevent the assault of the Northeast New Army tank group.  In fact, since Zhang Xinghan equipped the Northeastern New Army with Shitiao bridging tanks.  No matter how beautifully the Japanese army builds defensive positions and digs more anti-tank trenches, without effective anti-tank weapons, they cannot stop the advance of the Northeast New Army's tank and armored units.  More than a hundred tanks were killed, and with the cooperation of the air force, they broke through the defense line established by three fully formed regiments of the Japanese army in one fell swoop.  There is no love for war.  In accordance with prior orders, the tank crews drove their tanks forward in an assault under the cover of the air force.  Soon they advanced to a place not far from Noda Cuckoo's headquarters.  "General, you'd better evacuate here quickly, the Chinese tanks and chariots are about to arrive." A Japanese officer advised anxiously.  Noda Cuckoo was a little at a loss. He slapped the guard captain who came to report the news, and said angrily: "Baga, what do the rear guards do? Three regiments can't even stop them for an hour?" "General,  The Chinese have the assistance of the air force, and our defense forces are not fully prepared to resist them." The guard captain persuaded without giving up, "You'd better get out of here, it's not safe here." The Japanese guard finished speaking.  As soon as the shell was fired, it landed not far from the headquarters, and a violent explosion occurred.  The huge vibration shocked the Japanese guard officer. He quickly stepped forward and pulled Noda Cuckoo and said: "General, they have arrived, we can't resist. Let's retreat quickly." Noda Cuckoo followed the garrison squadron leader out of the headquarters in a noisy manner.  , fled in a panic toward the northeast under the cover of a group of guards.  The tank crews did not pursue any fleeing Japanese troops. Their mission was to assault the Japanese attacking troops, join Huang Xiansheng's defenders, and wait for the arrival of the main force after joining forces.     so.  Noda Cuckoo was lucky enough to escape, but the more than 30,000 offensive troops he invested were met with heavy firepower from hundreds of tanks.  For the unobstructed Japanese attacking troops, the blow was absolutely catastrophic.  Especially since this attack came from behind them.  "Boomboomboom" The first to fire were hundreds of tank guns, and shells fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers one after another.  There was a sudden explosion, and some Japanese soldiers howled and were blown up. ??????????????????????????????????????? Immediately afterwards.  As the distance approached, nearly a thousand vehicle-mounted machine guns began to fire one after another.  Just imagine, hundreds of 75mm tank guns and nearly a thousand general-purpose machine guns firing at the same time, how spectacular the scene would be? Almost every second, Japanese soldiers were shot and fell, and Huang Xiansheng did not lose time in ordering the three regiments.  Officers and soldiers launched a counterattack.  Under attack from two sides, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and the attack failed on the spot. Since the tank cluster of the Northeast New Army broke through in the center, the retreating Japanese soldiers evacuated hastily from both wings.  Before the Japanese defeated troops could take a breath, the vanguard of the Japanese 2nd Division arrived and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese rearguard.  The Japanese rearguard had not yet recovered from the chaos, and the whereabouts of Noda Cuckoo, the supreme commander, were unknown. The leaderless Japanese rearguard was quickly defeated.  Huang Xiansheng in Fushun City discovered this golden opportunity. He immediately ordered three infantry regiments to coordinate with the tank cluster to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.  As the battle progressed, the main force of the four divisions of the Northeast New Army from Shenyang arrived one after another.  The Japanese, who had suffered heavy casualties, soon fell into a complete rout. Noda Cuckoo, who had just fled to the north of the city and tried to escape around the city, was unlucky on the way to escape.  When he and his guards emerged from the woods, they were targeted by several Zero fighter jets.  Zhang Xinghua personally piloted a Zero with two wingmen and fired at Noda Cuckoo's group.  The guards blocking Noda fell down one after another.  Under the protection of the remaining guards, Noda Cuckoo acted like an old man?Generally running around in a hurry.  After Zhang Xinghua flew the fighter plane up, he made a beautiful turn in the air, turned around and started strafing.  "Tatata" A burst of dense heading machine gun bullets poured down like a torrential rain, and Noda Cuckoo and his men, who were fleeing desperately, were shot one after another.  The powerful heading bullets directly punched several holes in Noda Cuckoo's body, and his upper and lower body were almost completely broken.  He fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and died.  At this time, on the suburban battlefield in the west of Fushun City, the battle had completely turned into a one-sided massacre.  With the assistance of the air force and tank troops, the Northeast New Army was in full swing and began to pursue and kill the fleeing Japanese troops.  Sixty thousand Japanese troops were wiped out in one day.  ………………………………………… Shenyang City, Zhang Xinghan has been on the gate of the north city gate with the bouncing figure with Jiang Baili and Alice, Erris and others.  Standing on the top of the city and looking at the entire Shenyang City from a bird's eye view, the flowery scene of the past has completely disappeared, replaced by ruins and desolation.  "Commander, Commander, ** Deputy Division Commander of the 1st Division and Commander of the 1st Regiment, Niu Erzhu, urgent call!" A communications soldier panted and ran up to the top of the city and reported without even having time to salute.  "What's going on?" Zhang Xinghan turned around and asked. Jiang Baili had already reached out to take the message and opened it to read.  He immediately raised his head and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, what's wrong, the two Japanese divisions from Sujiatun and Dingtao want to escape." "What? Want to escape?" Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately shouted to the adjutant: "Map."  The adjutant had already quickly taken out the map and spread it on the ground.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili squatted down and stared at the map for a while. Zhang Xinghan asked, "Where is Li Zhenyuan now?" "According to the plan, he should have given up on Panjin at this time and moved north to attack Liaozhong County, right?" Jiang Baili was a little worried.  The sure way.  "Liaozhong County?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Immediately send a message to Li Zhenyuan and order him to immediately march east from Liaozhong County and go straight to Liaoyang. He must give me the two Japanese divisions in Beacon and Sujiatun.  Stop it. In addition, I sent a message to Niu Erzhu, saying that he would restrain the little devils from these two divisions at all costs and prevent them from evacuating so smoothly. By the way, notify Gao Zhihang and send the air force to assist and destroy the railways along the route as much as possible.  ." "Yes, I will make arrangements right away." Dalian, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Muto Nobuyoshi and Ishihara Wanji were discussing something softly in front of the map.  At this time, a communications staff officer walked in with a message in his hand. He suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, Captain Ida, the communications officer of the 6th Division, sent a final farewell message." "What? What happened to the 6th Division?  ?" Muto Xinyi felt a bad premonition in his heart.  "Captain Inoue reported in the telegram that the city of Shenyang has been captured by the Chinese Army, and the tens of thousands of imperial troops who stayed in Shenyang were all destroyed from Commander Hata Shuroku down. The main force of 60,000 people who broke out of the encirclement was also surrounded by heavy Chinese troops in Fushun, and the entire army was annihilated.  "Everyone from the 6th Division to the division commander and down to the soldiers died fighting for the Emperor and the Yamato nation. Captain Inoue also committed suicide after sending the message," the Japanese communications staff officer read quickly.  "What? The entire army was wiped out?" Muto Nobuyoshi's expression changed drastically, and he staggered and almost fell down.  Ishihara Wanji quickly supported him, "General, please calm down." "Calm down?" Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head bitterly and roared: "Asshole, how the hell do you want me to calm down? Didn't you say that we can at least withdraw?  Send half of the troops? Why was the entire army wiped out in less than two days?" Ishihara Wanji couldn't answer, but looked at the communications staff who came to report the news.  The communications staff officer quickly lowered his head and explained: "The breakout force encountered a strong blockage from the China Army in Fushun. They attacked fiercely all night but failed to break through, and eventually fell into a tight siege by the China Army."

    After listening to the communications staff officer's explanation, Ishihara Kanji bowed his head to Muto Nobuyoshi with a look of shame on his face and said: "Your Excellency, General, I misjudged my humble position, please punish me." Muto Shinji looked at Ishihara Kanji with a livid face, and finally became impatient.  He waved his hand: "Back off." The battle of Shenyang was already destined to be defeated. Noda Cuckoo failed to successfully break through. This was not entirely the fault of Kanji Ishihara, the mastermind of the strategy.  Although Muto Nobuyoshi is old, he is not confused. The failure of this retreat cannot conceal the excellence of Ishihara Kanji compared with other senior generals of the Imperial Army.  "If I had listened to his opinion earlier, I would not have fought a decisive battle with the Northeastern New Army in a place like Shenyang where the Fourth Battle was fought, but would have focused the main force on blockading the Liaodong Peninsula.  Relying on the powerful artillery support of the navy, the current situation of the Kwantung Army will never be so bad.  Ishihara Wanji knew how bad Muto Nobuyoshi was feeling at the moment, so he could only salute a military salute, turn around and leave with his saber in hand.  As soon as I walked out of the headquarters, I almost collided head-on with a communications soldier.  When the communications soldier saw that it was Ishihara Wanji, he quickly put his feet back and stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Ishihara Wanji didn't care and said: "What's wrong? Are you so panicked?" "The lighthouse has an urgent call. Sujiatun and the lighthouse are in trouble.  Until the China Army attacks, it will be impossible to retreat southward." After the signal soldier finished speaking, he said that he had to report to the commander, and walked towards the headquarters.  "Lighthouse? Sujiatun?" Ishihara smiled and murmured to himself, suddenly his expression changed, he turned around and walked towards the headquarters.  "Your Excellency, Commander, the two divisions in Lighthouse and Sujiatun are in danger." Ishihara Wanji walked in.  The communications soldier just now was reporting to Muto Nobuyoshi.  "What danger?" Muto Nobuyoshi had not finished listening to the signal soldier's report, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with Ishihara Wanji's sudden interruption.  asked.  "The Chinese Army's troops on the south bank of the Hun River desperately attacked the above-mentioned areas. Their purpose was very clear, which was to contain the evacuation of our two divisions, buy time for their main forces to cross the river south, and finally encircle and annihilate the two Imperial Army divisions.  Group." Ishihara Wanji explained.  Muto Nobuyoshi frowned and pondered for a while: "Ishihara-kun, do you have any good ideas?" Ishihara smiled and thought for a moment, then said: "General. We should immediately order the 1st and 9th divisions to go north to receive reinforcements, and at the same time order  The Lighthouse and Sujiatun troops tried their best to break out of the encirclement at all costs." Just as Ishihara Wan'er finished speaking, another Japanese communications soldier suddenly ran in and said without even saluting: "Your Excellency, Liaoyang Urgent Telegram, an armored unit of the Northeast Army.  Suddenly appeared in Liaoyang, and are currently attacking Liaoyang City. The situation in Liaoyang is critical. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible." Muto Xinyi and Ishihara Kanji's expressions changed greatly after hearing this, and Ishihara Kanji even slapped his thigh.  He exclaimed: "No, the China Army is also going to completely cut off the Imperial Army's retreat." "Ishihara-kun, tell me. What should we do?" Muto Nobuyoshi nodded in agreement and asked.  "Disperse and break out." Ishihara smiled.  "Disperse and break out? Ishihara-kun, are you sure?" Muto Nobuyoshi was a little surprised.  Ishihara Wanji nodded seriously and said: "General, we must break out in a dispersed manner. Only in this way can these two divisions be able to withdraw as much as possible. It should be noted that although the strength of the dispersed breakout is greatly reduced, if the Chinese want to defeat them  Total annihilation is impossible." Muto Nobuyoshi nodded in agreement.  Immediately said: "Immediately send power to the 8th Division and the 18th Division, disperse and break out, and retreat to Yingkou and other places. At the same time, the garrison troops in Liaoyang, Anshan, and Haicheng also immediately reduced their strength and prepared to deploy defenses at Yingkou." "Hai!  "The three Japanese communication personnel suddenly lowered their heads and responded, then turned and left.  "General, it's time to mobilize local reinforcements. The 200,000-strong army may not all be ready, but it shouldn't be a problem to send tens of thousands more new troops. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to hold the Yingjin defense line." Several communications  After the personnel left, Ishihara Kanji suggested to Muto Nobuyoshi: "In addition, we should also ask the Ministry of War to ask the Ministry of Navy to send enough navy to provide support for sea-based aviation and various artillery groups." "Well, I will.  "Yes." Muto Xinyi nodded in a gentle tone.  The Battle of Fushun has ended. The Japanese troops entrenched in the Shenyang area have been wiped out except for a few who escaped by chance.  North of Shenyang City, Beidaying.  "Commander, in this Shenyang battle, plus the results of the Tieling and Xinmin battles, we have annihilated more than 160,000 Japanese troops. We have captured a lot of weapons, but not much ammunition. Most of them have been exhausted by the little devils. "  The two Japanese divisions in Sujiatun and Dingtao will be destroyed. The total number of enemies we will destroy in this battle will exceed 200,000. This is definitely an unprecedented victory for China and Japan since their existence!" Jiang Baili said very excitedly!  Zhang Xinghan said.  &nbsp; Zhang Xinghan was also very happy, nodded with a smile, and said: "Give power to each division, immediately cross the river south, join the main force of the 1st Japanese Division, and first eat the two Japanese divisions on the other side." "Yes."  !" Jiang Baili stood up and responded, then turned and left.  Not long after, Jiang Baili turned back with a solemn expression.  "Chief of Staff, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xinghan asked, seeing his serious expression.  "Commander, we have just received an urgent report from Deputy Commander Niu of the 1st Division of the Communist Party of China. The main force of the Japanese troops in Lighthouse and Sujiatun has escaped." "Escaped? What does Niu Erzhu do for a living? How many regiments can't contain the little Japanese?"  Zhang Xinghan was furious when he heard this.  "The little devils learned a lesson this time. Instead of retreating along the railway line, they scattered and fled. How could Niu Erzhu's two infantry regiments come over?" Jiang Baili said.  "Damn it, the little devil has become cunning. He told Niu Erzhu to pursue him immediately and not to worry too much. When the little devil escaped, he let me chase him. Then I notified Li Zhenyuan and asked him to immediately divide his troops to the areas on both sides of the railway line.  , intercepted the Japanese troops fleeing south." Zhang Xinghan was a little angry, how could he let the duck fly again? "Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded, stood up and saluted, and strode out of the headquarters.  “Deputy Commander, Commander-in-Chief Zhang called us and ordered us to pursue immediately at all costs!” A communications soldier reported to Uncle Niu in an unknown small village east of Sujiatun.  "Come on, order the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment, and the Tank Regiment to launch a pursuit immediately." Niu Erzhu took the message, read it, and ordered immediately.  "Yes!" The communications soldier stood up and responded, followed the order and left.  In Liaoyang City, Li Zhenyuan had just received Zhang Xinghan's telegram. After reading it in a hurry, he said to the adjutant: "Order each regiment to stop the bombardment, and use companies and platoons as units to disperse and intercept the Japanese who fled from the north." The adjutant also said.  They immediately took the order and left. Soon, the four tank regiments stopped shelling, and the two motorized infantry battalions were also ordered to withdraw from the encirclement.  About 17 kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, there is another place called Tangshan. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and beautiful scenery, especially the hot springs here. In later generations, it was ranked among the top four health hot springs in the country.  Therefore, during the Republic of China, it became a summer resort for senior officials of the Nanjing National Government.  Many senior officials of the National Government bought or built villas here to live in.  As the leader of the National Government, President Jiang is no exception. He has two secret residences in Tangshan.  Usually when they get tired of living in Nanjing, Principal Jiang and Mrs. Song will move to Tangshan to live for a while.  In a certain Tangshan villa, Chairman Chiang was walking along the rockery in the villa with his cane and accompanied by Mrs. Song.  Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps disturbed the couple's enjoyment.  The visitor was none other than Dai Li and Dai Yunong, whom President Jiang had appointed as his minister.  Chairman Chiang smiled apologetically at his wife and patted her hand.  Mrs. Song returned the smile and walked straight towards the pavilion in front.  Dai Li then approached, stood upright and saluted: "Principal, I'm sorry to bother you." "Yunong, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly, business is important." Chairman Jiang waved his hand.  "Principal, the Japanese have been defeated." Dai Li said bluntly.  "Failed? What's the situation?" Chairman Chiang asked.  "In the Battle of Shenyang, almost all the 200,000 Japanese troops were wiped out. The Northeast New Army was victorious. The main force of the Kwantung Army has been completely lost." Dai Li said, briefly describing the intelligence he obtained on the Shenyang battlefield to Chairman Chiang one by one.  Read it again.  After listening to this, Chairman Chiang could not help but nod and exclaimed: "The young are to be feared, the young are to be feared. In less than two years, he has pulled up such a force and was able to defeat Japan's Kanto region by himself with an outnumbered enemy."  Military?" "Principal, this person has become a bad guy and should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a big problem at the speed of his development." Dai Li said: "The student suggested that now that the Battle of Shenyang has been successfully concluded, the principal can send another message to urge him.  Come to Beijing to report on his work, and when he arrives in Nanjing, he will immediately take special measures to get rid of him." After Dai Li finished speaking, he found that President Jiang was deep in thought. He bowed his head respectfully and waited for a long time before Chairman Jiang gently shook his head and said: "No.  , we can’t send any more messages to urge him for the time being, otherwise it will be easy for this person to doubt our intentions. Since he has agreed to come to Beijing, and people all over the country are watching, he naturally dare not not come. If you do this, go back and notify the communication room, and we will inform the communication room immediately.  In the name of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, they sent a message to congratulate Zhang Xinghan and commend them for their unprecedented victory. " "Yes." Dai Li nodded and asked tentatively: "Principal, do you want the students to prepare in advance? Wait until Zhang Xinghan comes to Beijing.  "As he spoke, Dai Li made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.  &nbsp; Chairman Chiang immediately shook his head and said: "No, no matter what, Zhang Xinghan is now the anti-Japanese hero of the entire nation. He has high prestige and influence in the hearts of the people. If he died in Nanjing, it would cause us unbearable consequences."  "Then arrest him?" Dai Li said.  "It will depend on the situation then," said Chairman Chiang.  ps: I have something to report. First, the empire has been updated. Second, tickets and monthly tickets. Monthly tickets cost money, but recommended votes are free. Guys, please don’t be stingy. Please vote for more. I’ll make it better in the category.  Point ranking.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 218: Pointing to Liaodong

    "Ono-kun, quickly, retreat quickly!" In the fields to the west of the section from the lighthouse to Liaoyang of the Nanman Railway Line, about a dozen Japanese soldiers were running away in a panic.  The person who spoke was a Japs corps commander. He and another Japs were holding a Japs second lieutenant, who was obviously their commander.  "Xiaolu-kun, I'm afraid I can't survive. Leave me alone and retreat alone." The Japanese second lieutenant named Ono said with a weak tone and a pale face.  He was shot in the back. Although he was wrapped with gauze, the blood was still flowing out uncontrollably. The white gauze had already turned blood red at this moment.  My feet were too weak, and I basically had to rely on the support of two companions to walk.  "Ono-kun, we can't abandon our commander." Commander Oga Junzaburo gasped. Apparently, having to bear the burden of Second Lieutenant Ono for a long time and running away for a long distance, his physical strength has been somewhat exhausted.  At this time, gunfire approached again from behind, and Second Lieutenant Ono pushed Junzaburo Oka and another Japanese soldier away.  Without their support, Second Lieutenant Ono suddenly became unsteady on his feet and sat down on the ground.  "Ono-kun" The two Japanese soldiers hurried up to help him.  "Don't touch me." Second Lieutenant Ono suddenly pulled out his gun, pointed at the sun and said sadly: "Xiaolu-kun, you can't escape with me. I'm already carrying a heavy burden."  Seriously injured, please leave me alone and run for your life. If you are lucky enough to escape back to Japan, please go to Kyoto to see my wife and my three-year-old daughter. " "Ono-kun, this is the base camp of this damn war.  Why start this damn war, why invade China?" Junzaburo Oka said very sadly.  "Boom!" An explosion sounded in vain not far from them.  Second Lieutenant Ono shouted anxiously: "Go quickly. Leave me alone." "Ono-kun" Junzaburo Oka shook his head with a painful look on his face, unwilling to leave just now.  "Come on, please, Mr. Xiaolu, please return to Japan alive and help me take care of my wife and children." Second Lieutenant Ono shouted with tears.  Oka Junzaburo and several other Japanese soldiers had no choice but to get up and run away quickly.  At this time, there was another sharp whistling sound behind them.  Junzaburo Oka turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a cannonball landing right next to Second Lieutenant Ono.  The hot fire immediately swallowed him up, and after the violent explosion, Lieutenant Ono's body was gone.  "Bagaya Road!" Xiaolu Junzaburo gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red.  However, he was soon dragged by his companions and continued to flee south.  Oka Junzaburo was furious, but when he saw several Chinese tanks rolling over in the woods.  The desire to survive immediately suppressed the anger of hatred.  If he wants to take revenge, he must first find a way to survive.  Before Oga Junzaburo and the others could run far, a group of Northeastern New Army soldiers came to the place where they stayed under the cover of four tanks.  "The little devil ran forward, keep chasing him!" A second lieutenant of the Northeast New Army observed and pointed ahead.  After saying that, he led his men and continued to chase south.  The four tanks also started with a roar and continued to move forward.  Oka Junzaburo and the others didn't get far before they ran into big trouble.  Several Northeastern New Army tanks suddenly appeared in front of them, and the black muzzles and muzzles made Junzaburo Oka and the others flinch.  They didn’t expect to escape so far.  There will actually be Chinese tanks ahead.  A feeling of despair arose spontaneously, and Junzaburo Oka looked at his companions around him.  Despair and confusion were also seen on their faces.  "Warriors, we will fight against the Chinese to avenge Captain Ono!" Junzaburo Oka suddenly clenched the rifle in his hand and said with a ferocious expression.  "Kill Gaga!" Several Japanese soldiers who were in dire straits launched a suicidal charge crazily.  What greeted them was a dense rain of machine gun bullets, and the general-purpose machine guns on several tanks opened fire one after another.  The dense bullets smashed all the Japanese soldiers into sieves.  Such battles are taking place everywhere in the Liaoyang area.  Although the Japanese army adopted the method of dispersion and breakout, with the interception and cooperation of Li Zhenyuan's troops, the Japs of the two divisions still suffered extremely heavy losses.  In the end, less than two-thirds of the Japanese soldiers escaped alive, but this also made Muto Nobuyoshi and Ishihara Wanji quite relieved.  Under such a passive situation, victory would be as long as the entire army is not annihilated.  "Your Excellency, General, what does the base camp say about reinforcements?" Ishihara Wanji asked after watching the communications staff leave.  "Power has been restored to the base camp. Reinforcements will arrive within five days. There will be 40,000 troops and two divisions." Muto Nobuyoshi said with a sad tone."However, I should go back after the reinforcements arrive." "Go back?" Ishihara smiled and was confused.  "Yes, go back. The Battle of Shenyang failed. The Imperial Army lost nearly 200,000 people. I have an unshirkable responsibility. The base camp has appointed Hisashi Karutaka as the new commander of the Kwantung Army. I will take over as soon as he and reinforcements arrive.  The command has returned." Muto Nobuyoshi nodded.  Ishihara Wanji nodded in relief this time, but did not forget to say a few words of comfort: "Your Excellency General, the enemy's former commander-in-chief Shunroku Hata should bear the main responsibility for the defeat of this battle. You are not wrong." Muto Nobuyoshi waved his hand: "No,  I cannot escape the blame for the failure of this battle. Since I took office, I have not won a single victory in the battle against Zhang Xinghan, causing the imperial army to lose most of the Northeast. These are all my fault." Ishihara Wanji said.  Without saying a word, what Muto Nobuyoshi said are all facts and there is no room for him to make any excuses.  Even Ishihara Kanji cannot escape the blame, especially since he has been the head coach of the Kwantung Army for three times. When it comes to guilt, he is probably no less guilty than Nobuyoshi Muto.  Ishihara Wanji didn’t ask any more questions. He had already prepared for the worst, which was to get a ticket to return home with Nobuyoshi Muto.  ????………………… Shenyang City, Zhang Xinghan officially moved the former enemy headquarters into Shenyang City.  After nearly two years of separation, Zhang Xinghan looked at the familiar Shenyang City that he was no longer familiar with, and felt sad in his heart.  Riding in a jeep all the way to the headquarters that Jiang Baili had deployed earlier.  As soon as he got off the car, Jiang Baili came out from the headquarters yard.  After saluting, Zhang Xinghan took the lead and walked inside. As he walked, he asked: "How is it? Where are all the divisions on the front line? How is the interception and killing going?" "The interception and killing is over. The little Japanese are too scattered. Two  The division is estimated to have protruded by at least about two-thirds. **The 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 9th Divisions and the Armored Group have already joined forces in Liaoyang. After a short rest, they can continue the attack southward.  "Two-thirds of the protrusion is gone?" Zhang Xinghan was a little disappointed: "It seems that the Japs are going to be difficult to deal with." "What is the current defense situation of the Japanese?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  While talking, the two of them had already walked into the headquarters, and Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan came to the map.  Pointing to the map, Jiang Baili said: "Commander situation, the current total strength of the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula should not exceed 130,000. They are mainly deployed in Jinzhou, Yingkou to Fengcheng, and the Dandong line. We call it the Yingjin Defense Line." "  130,000 people? Yingjin Defense Line?" Zhang Xinghan snorted with disdain and said: "Give power to the divisions on the front line, and Wang Yizhe will unified command the divisions to fight. We must break through the Japanese army's Yingjin Defense Line and capture Dalian within three days.  "Commander, I'm afraid three days is a bit urgent. After all, the Japs still have hundreds of thousands of troops. They will shrink their deployment on the front line of Yingkou and Jinzhou. They will not be defeated so easily. Moreover, Jinzhou and Yingkou are both close to the sea. We need to guard against Japan."  Their navy is much stronger than the army. Among other things, the caliber of naval guns is at least two hundred millimeters. It is definitely not something that any ground force can withstand with one shot.  "Jiang Baili reminded carefully.  "Chief of Staff, you are worrying too much. With our Air Force here, it is a question whether Japan's navy dares to enter the Bohai Bay." Zhang Xinghan smiled confidently: "Inform Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang immediately. From now on, the Air Force  We must continue to send reconnaissance planes to monitor the situation in the Bohai Bay. If the Japanese fleet enters the bay, we will immediately dispatch fighter planes to attack!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili said no more, stood up and walked away.  "Commander, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Nanjing is calling." As soon as Jiang Baili walked to the door, Li Guocai, director of the Communications Department, walked in.  "Oh? Chairman Chiang? Read it and listen!" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed that I am very relieved to hear that your troops have recently won the victory in the Battle of Shenyang. The Warring States Period was very fruitful. This victory is indeed an unprecedented victory for the Chinese nation. It is also a victory for the party and the country to resist Japan and save the nation. I am here to express my gratitude on behalf of the National Government.  The Military Commission telegraphed the award, and I hope your troops will continue to fight the enemy bravely, serve the party and the country, and serve the nation!" Li Guocai read immediately.  "This Bald Jiang is so deserving. He is not even willing to give us an ocean. Verbal awards are of no use." Zhang Xinghan sneered and said sarcastically.  Jiang Baili couldn't help laughing and said: "Commander, don't be angry. No matter what, we have to save face. In my opinion, we should send a telegram back to Jiang as soon as possible." "If you want this, I will hand over the contents of the telegram.  Here you go, Chief of Staff." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and patted Jiang Baili on the shoulder.  "Commander, please rest assured, this small matter can be solved within a hundred miles." Jiang Baili immediately accepted the order.  Jilin Airport.  "Xinghua, you take a few reconnaissance planes and go out immediately. The target is Bohai Bay. Remember toDestroy the Japanese's intensive anti-aircraft firepower at Dalian Military Port.  Your mission is mainly to detect whether the Japanese fleet has entered the bay. If there is an immediate report, I will immediately lead the reinforcements to rush there for reinforcements.  "In an office in the airport building, Deputy Division Commander Liu Cuigang was giving instructions to Zhang Xinghua. "Yes!  Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely complete the task.  "Zhang Xinghua stood up and saluted, then took the order and strode out quickly.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 219: Attack Attack

    After Zhang Xinghua came out of the office, he immediately took his two comrades and drove three ultra-long-range Zero fighter jets to set off one after another.  The Zero fighter has a range of 3,000 kilometers. Now in the air force of the Northeast New Army, it is not only a long-range fighter, but can also be used as a bomber and reconnaissance aircraft.  It is simply used as a multi-purpose aircraft.  As far as the current performance of the Zero fighter is concerned, it is still quite outstanding and is fully capable of performing these tasks.  The flight distance from Changchun to Bohai Bay is only five to six hundred kilometers, which is far from the maximum combat radius of 1,500 kilometers of the Zero fighter.  Three Zero fighter jets formed a triangular formation and flew quickly towards the Bohai Bay at an altitude of several thousand meters.  Looking down from the plane, the scenery on the earth has become extremely small, and as for the people, no one can be seen.  Liaoyang City, the former Japanese garrison headquarters, Wang Yizhe established his former enemy headquarters here.  "My colleagues, the commander-in-chief has called me to appoint me as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy's attack on the Liaodong Peninsula. I think everyone has received it, right?" Wang Yizhe asked calmly while sitting in the first place.  "Brother Dingfang, we have received the commander's message. Please give us combat missions as soon as possible." Huang Xiansheng, commander of the **1st Division, said.  "Yes, I have received it. Old sir, just give the order." Li Zhenyuan also nodded.  As his old partner Zhao Zhenfan didn’t say anything, he quietly waited for Wang Yizhe’s order.  Wang Yizhe nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to get up.  Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Li Zhenyuan and others also stood up one after another.  The group of people followed Wang Yizhe and left their seats.  Came to the battle map hanging on the north wall of the conference room.  Taking a wooden command pole from an adjutant, Wang Yizhe stepped forward and pointed to Jinzhou, Yingkou, Fengcheng and Dandong tunnels: "Everyone, according to the intelligence we have, the Kwantung Army still has 120,000 to 30,000 people left.  In terms of total strength, we already have an absolute advantage. We also have an absolute advantage in the air force, artillery, and tanks and armored forces. Therefore, the time is ripe to attack the Liaodong Peninsula. In this battle, we should use our advantages and concentrate our forces.  Attack Yingkou first, and after breaking through Yingkou, seize Dalian first, and then go back and recover Jinzhou and Dandong. "Brother Dingfang is right. Our 1st Division is willing to take the lead and will definitely capture Yingkou."  He nodded and asked.  "No problem, the main attack task will be left to you, Brother Jingzhong. In addition, Li Zhenyuan's Armored Group Army will also be assigned to you to help you attack." Wang Yizhe readily agreed.  "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, our 1st Division will certainly live up to expectations!" Niu Erzhu, the deputy division commander and head of the 1st Regiment, seemed a little excited and stood up to salute.  Wang Yizhe nodded and then continued: "The main offensive task is given to the **1st Division and the Army. Now I will deploy the combat tasks of other divisions. The **9th Division in the early days of high school is responsible for the movement to Fengcheng and Dandong.  . Feint attack to contain and disperse the Japanese troops on the eastern front. Liu Jianguo's 3rd Division immediately moved out of Jinzhou to attract the enemy's attention with the feint. The 4th Division and 2nd Division also served as reserves for the general attack on Dalian.  "Power!" "Yes!" Liu Jianguo, Gao Chu and others responded at the same time and immediately took the order and left.  After a day of preparation, the five ** divisions and four heavy artillery brigades of the Northeast New Army on the front line are ready.  They entered their respective positions.  The war is about to break out.  At this moment, it was already the second wave of missions. Zhang Xinghua had just flown over the sea more than 200 nautical miles away from Dalian when he noticed an abnormality.  “Head, it looks like there’s a Japanese ship down there!” a wingman reported to Zhang Xinghua.  "I've seen it, come down with me, be vigilant, and reconnoiter carefully!" After Zhang Xinghua said this, he piloted a fighter plane and two wingmen and started heading towards the next draft.  The Zero fighter's maneuverability is quite good. In less than two minutes, they descended no less than a thousand meters into the air.  By adjusting the angle and line of sight, Zhang Xinghua and two comrades clearly saw the Japanese fleet on the sea.  "Boss, it's the Japanese fleet, not to mention dozens of various ships, and there seems to be an aircraft carrier!" The pilot on a wingman was very excited.  "Send power to the master immediately and request immediate support!" Zhang Xinghua said calmly.  Jilin Airport.  "Old Liu, Xinghua reported that a Japanese fleet was discovered more than 200 nautical miles away from the Bohai Bay. It is very large, with at least dozens of various ships and possibly aircraft carriers." Liu Cuigang raised his voice when he saw Gao Zhihang.  Wu shouted excitedly.  "Really? Then attack immediately!" Gao Zhihang was also excited when he heard this.Already, speak immediately.  "Yes!" After Liu Cuigang saluted, he and Gao Zhihang went straight to their planes.  The next moment, Zero fighters and He111 bombers roared into the sky one after another.  This time, seventy Zero fighters and eighty He111s all came out.  At the same time, on the Tongliao battlefield, Stuka bombers and BF109 fighter groups, which are short-range bombers, also took off one after another.  However, their combat mission is to assist our ground troops in Yingkou, Jinzhou and other places to break through the Japanese defense lines.  The first to arrive on the battlefield was this mixed group of BF109 and Stuka aircraft.  At this moment, the ground artillery group of the main offensive force on the Yingkou defense line has begun to launch artillery bombardments on the Japanese outer positions at Yingkou.  Because the Northeastern New Army pursued closely and came quickly, the Japanese army did not have enough time to build fortifications.  The powerful artillery fire composed of the four heavy artillery brigades of the Northeast New Army and the artillery regiments directly under the 1st, 2nd and 4th divisions of the ** easily turned the Japanese defensive position at Yingkou into a sea of ??fire.  "Boomboomboom" The deafening explosions came one after another. The Japanese soldiers squatting in the trench could clearly feel that the ground under their feet was shaking.  As the bomber group of the New Northeast Army arrived, this feeling became even stronger.  It took less than an hour of bombing.  The two Japanese regiments outside Yingkou suffered a quarter of their casualties, and all front-line fortifications were completely destroyed.  Immediately.  **The 1st Division, with the cooperation of armored tank troops, launched its first exploratory attack on the Japanese army.  In the trenches of the attack position, Deputy Division Commander Niu Erzhu and Division Commander Huang Xiansheng were holding binoculars to watch their own attacking troops.  This time, they dispatched a company of infantry, supplemented by four No. 4 tanks, to conduct a tentative attack on the Japanese frontal position.  Wherever the telescope could reach, the Japanese positions were filled with thick smoke, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening on the Japanese positions.  The only thing that can be seen should be the fire that is still burning.  More than a hundred infantrymen, led by four tanks, are rapidly approaching the Japanese position.  When entering a range of more than two hundred meters.  The originally silent Japanese position suddenly erupted with gunfire.  Hundreds of rifles and dozens of light and heavy machine guns formed a dense firepower network.  More than a hundred experienced infantrymen of the Northeastern New Army divided into four groups and looked around. They all moved behind the four No. 4 tanks and continued to advance with the help of the cover of the tanks.  Generally speaking, in this case, as long as their luck is not too bad, they will not be in much danger with tank cover.  "Bang, bang, bang" A series of crisp sounds sounded one after another, and intensive bullets hit the front armor of the four Panzer IV tanks, bursting out a series of sparks.  It seems particularly dazzling.  "Kill the enemy!" On the Japs' position, seeing the Chinese tanks getting closer and closer, an officer immediately waved his command knife and called on his subordinates to fire violently.  "Boom, boom, boom" The four No. 4 tanks finally fired. At such a close distance, their hit rate was extremely terrifying.  Four deafening explosions sounded, and the three Japanese machine guns stopped firing.  "Click, click, click" The eight vehicle-mounted machine guns also opened fire.  Bullets quickly ejected from the muzzle, forming a dense crossfire.  The Japanese soldiers hit by bullets were unable to raise their heads at all, and a series of dust and smoke rose from the bare ground.  "Fire, fire!" The Japanese officer became anxious, waved his hands behind him and shouted, "The few 82 mortars that the Japanese army had hidden in the artillery holes that were lucky enough not to be destroyed were quickly set up.  "Boom, boom, boom" After several rapid muffled sounds.  The grenades landed accurately on the infantry masses following the tank attack.  Immediately, it caused a lot of casualties to the Northeast New Army.  Tank guns fired back one after another.  However, they were direct-aiming artillery, while the Japanese army had direct-aiming artillery, which had a blind spot and could not do anything to the opponent.  **In the trench of the 1st Division's attack position, Huang Xiansheng put down his binoculars when he saw this and said: "Order the probing troops to retreat, and call the artillery team for the Japanese army to carry out retaliatory artillery strikes!" "Withdrawing so soon?" Niu Erzhu was obviously unwilling to do so.  : "Many of the enemy's firepower points have not yet been exposed." "As you can see, our tank direct-aimed guns are helpless against those Japanese mortars. Although tanks are not afraid of them, our infantry casualties will be doubled because of this. You must know that we  Every soldier is extremely valuable, at least more valuable than artillery shells and bullets. Therefore, it is impossible for us to let our men make unnecessary sacrifices without using our absolute advantage. This is unfair to them.  , it is also incompetent for our commander." Huang Xian.Tao.  Niu Erzhu nodded as if he understood, then turned around and conveyed the order to stop the attack.  Soon, four tanks covered the remaining seventy or eighty infantrymen and retreated.  Almost as soon as the Japanese gunfire stopped, piercing whistles sounded from behind the 1st Division's position.  The shells, one after another, were wrapped in dazzling flames and crashed towards the Japanese positions.  "Boom, boom, boom" Due to the calibrated shooting points, this bombardment was very accurate, and all the shells fell into the position where the Japanese opened fire just now.  In the violent explosion, the Japanese officer was blown to pieces, several mortars were also hit, and all the men and cannons were blown to pieces.  ????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????????:??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Balls of fire, accompanied by thick smoke, rising into the sky, and from time to time there were some broken limbs and broken arms of the Japanese soldiers, as well as some parts of weapons, in the fire.”  The shelling lasted for more than twenty minutes, plowing the Japs' forward positions over and over again before they began to extend.  This time, Huang Xiansheng and Niu Erzhu increased their offensive forces and directly dispatched a battalion of infantry and twelve Panzer IV tanks.  When the twelve tanks advanced not far from the Japanese forward position while firing, there were only sparse gunshots on the Japanese position where the smoke had not cleared.  The intensive firepower just now completely disappeared, and the tank crews covered the infantry and slowly pushed forward.  When most of the new Northeastern officers and soldiers were close to the front line trenches of the Japanese army, some light and heavy firepower roared from the rear positions of the Japanese army.  However, it is not difficult to judge from the density of their firepower that they should have suffered considerable losses in the shelling just now and the previous bombing.  Otherwise, the firepower of such machine guns should be dense enough to cross-fire to form a dense blockade firepower.  Such a lax fire blockade naturally could not stop the charge of hundreds of Northeastern New Army infantry.  They roared and charged like a tide with semi-automatic rifles, and tanks crossed the trenches to cover possible openings.  The attacking force gained great momentum. Under the cover of the tank troops, they broke through three Japanese trenches in succession.  At this time, the Japanese reinforcements began to counterattack, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.  The offensive troops of the New Northeast Army relied on the powerful defensive capabilities of twelve tanks and the firepower of machine guns and artillery to desperately resist the Japanese counterattack.  Huang Xiansheng promptly dispatched an additional infantry battalion. As this infantry battalion entered the battle, the Japanese army counterattacked fiercely and was defeated.  "Charge! Brothers, fight through Yingkou and retake Dalian!" A lieutenant colonel and battalion commander who led the charge, holding an MP18 submachine gun in each hand, shouted from the lead after the Japanese counterattack failed.  "Kill! Charge!" Nearly a thousand Northeastern New Army members shouted killing sounds one after another, and they rushed forward with guns in hand.  The stopped tank also started up again and charged forward quickly.  At the same time, an air defense and air raid battle was underway on the Bohai Bay, about a hundred nautical miles away from Dalian.  Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and others personally led a mixed fleet of 150 aircraft to arrive.  Immediately launched a fierce air attack on the Japanese naval fleet that came to support the Kwantung Army.  Fighter planes fired fiercely one after another, and the Zero fighter's machine guns kept spitting out dazzling tongues of flame. Countless Japanese sailors could not escape and were shot to death on the deck.  The anti-aircraft weapons on the Japanese ship responded in a timely manner and fired fiercely to counterattack, but the bullets almost chased the high-speed Zero fighter, which was quite spectacular in the air.  Eighty He111 medium bombers began to drop bombs at high altitude. At this time, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang had already formulated a strategy.  The Zero fighter draft is a low-altitude attack, and the bomber is a high-altitude bomber.  "俅俅俅俅" Heavy aerial bombs began to fall rapidly from the air.  Some aerial bombs fell into the water and exploded violently. The calm sea surface was suddenly stirred up by a huge wave. The Japanese ship on the edge of the explosion was shaken, and the Japanese sailors on the ship were thrown to the ground one after another.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 220: The Japanese have learned a lesson

    Water splashed everywhere, and many Japanese sailors turned into drowned rats.  There were also aerial bombs that accurately landed on the Japanese warships, causing a violent explosion immediately.  The dazzling firelight instantly dispersed with thick black smoke, and some Japanese sailors who could not escape were instantly swallowed up.  The huge shock wave devoured their bodies and left no trace of their bodies.  This time the Japanese fleet dispatched an aircraft carrier, and the dozens of Japanese aircraft carried on it were destroyed on the deck and in the hangar before they even had a chance to take off to fight.  Of course, even if they have a chance to take off, facing the Zero fighter that is almost a decade ahead of them, their fate will only be shot down.  This air attack lasted for more than half an hour, and more than half of the fleet consisting of dozens of Japanese cruisers, transport ships and gunboats was lost.  The rest fled in a hurry toward the high seas. If it hadn't been for the exhaustion of ammunition, there would have been no survivors in this batch of Japanese ships.  After the war, the smoke on the sea surface was quickly blown away by the cold sea breeze. Some Japanese shipwrecks that were blown into several pieces also sank into the water one by one. The sea surface soon returned to calm.  It is completely impossible to tell that there was a fierce air raid and air defense battle here not long ago.  Dalian, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "Your Excellency, General, the China Army's offensive is rapid and fierce, and the camp entrance is in emergency!" Hashimoto Toranosuke reported to Muto Nobuyoshi with an anxious look.  "Where are the reinforcements from the naval fleet? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Muto Nobuyoshi placed his hope on the navy's powerful naval gun firepower, which would definitely be able to disrupt the assault offensive formed by tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeastern New Army.  Before Hashimoto Toranosuke could answer, a Japanese communications soldier hurried in.  He suddenly closed his feet and stood up to salute and reported: "Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, the Navy's 3rd Fleet encountered a sudden air attack from the China Air Force's mixed fleet one hundred and thirteen nautical miles away. More than half of it was lost. It has been forced to withdraw from the original route and is unable to defend us.  The Kwantung Army defenders provided support. " "Nani?" Muto Nobuyoshi was shocked, and he roared angrily: "Baga, these bastards in the Navy are so afraid of death that they don't want to save you? I want to complain to the base camp!"  "Your Excellency General, the top priority right now is that we should quickly shrink our troops and block the entrance to the Liaodong Peninsula with all our strength." Hashimoto Toranosuke reminded him calmly.  "What do you mean? Give up Jinzhou and Anton?" Muto Xinyi looked at him in astonishment.  "Yes, Jinzhou and Andong are close to the sea. Even if the Northeast China Army captures them, they will not be able to pose a direct threat to Dalian because they do not have a navy. But Yingkou is different. If Yingkou is broken through by the China Army, the entire Liaodong Peninsula  There is absolutely no way to hold on. Without naval support, Dalian will definitely fall. Therefore, we must shrink our forces from Yingkou to Zhuanghe as soon as possible, and rely on the Qianshan Mountains and the mountains on the peninsula to form a solid defense line and hold on.  However, the Chinese army has already attacked Yingkou, and other troops are heading west to Jinzhou. The land connection between the imperial army in the direction of Jinzhou and Yingkou has been cut off, how to retreat?" Muto Nobuyoshi said with a frown.  "This is not difficult. Although we do not have the support of the naval fleet, it is still possible to transport the Jinzhou garrison back and move it by sea. It can be transported at night. As for the Andong garrison, it can be withdrawn south along the Qianshan Mountains.  We can also successfully shrink to the Zhuang River area. From now on, holding on for another week is definitely not a problem. The reinforcements should have arrived in a week. With the addition of 40,000 new troops, the Liaodong defense line will be unbreakable and we can protect the empire.  The last advance base in Manchuria," Hashimoto Toranosuke said.  Muto Nobuyoshi nodded.  He said: "That's it, let's make arrangements as soon as possible." "Hai!" Hashimoto Toranosuke lowered his head suddenly, although he already knew that it would only take a few days.  With him, Nobuyoshi Muto would have to pack up and get out.  But as an emperor, he must continue to persevere.  In fact, considering the current corrupt situation in the Liaodong Peninsula, retiring and returning home would be a good outcome.  ………………………………………… Yingkou battlefield.  The fierce battle between the 1st Division of the Northeast New Army and the Japanese defenders has moved from the field position outside the city to the city defense offensive and defensive battle.  The Japanese army, which lacked effective anti-tank weapons and means, was forced to abandon its field defense positions and rely on city fortifications to resist.  After the defeats in Shenyang Battle and other battles, the Japanese have gradually adapted to fighting with the tanks and armored units of the Northeast New Army, and can make full use of the complex terrain and dense buildings in the city to deal with them. At least no longer  I was as panicked as I was at the beginning.  After all, more than 200,000 people have been paid.?Even a fool should know it hurts.  Therefore, when the battle advanced to the city, the advancement speed of the 1st Division was very slow compared to other Northeastern New Army in the past. ?? **The 1st Division should be the first-class main division in the Northeast New Army, with the strongest combat effectiveness and the most veterans.  Its advancement speed is the slowest, which reflects that the resistance of the Japanese army is gradually increasing.  On a not-so-wide ordinary street in the northern area of ??the city, two No. 4 tanks were leading dozens of Northeastern New Army soldiers to attack forward.  But to everyone’s surprise, there wasn’t even a single enemy on the visible barricade ahead, and no one shot anyone in the buildings on both sides of the street.  Everything was unusually quiet, and the rumble of our own tanks made people feel very dull.  The officer leading the team is a deputy company commander named Liang Tingguang, who once served as a clerk in the 701st Regiment.  However, since the cold reorganization of the Northeast New Army, he has combat experience and cultural knowledge and was quickly promoted to squad leader, platoon leader, and now to the lieutenant and deputy company commander.  The strange environment made Liang Tingguang feel a strong sense of foreboding.  He held the submachine gun tightly in his hand, and his palms were slightly sweaty in the cold weather.  While following the tank forward, he watched the surroundings vigilantly.  The two No. 4 tanks in front rumbled forward. When they passed two three-story buildings, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared on the roof. They set up several light and heavy machine guns and pointed them at Liang Tingguang, who was following behind the tanks.  A violent burst of fire.  "Click, click, click" The harsh sound of gunshots sounded, and dense, hot bullets poured down like rain.  Liang Tingguang was already very vigilant. The moment he noticed something unusual on the roof of the building, he instinctively pounced on the eaves of a house and crashed directly into the house through the window. The wooden window was shattered by him.  Splinters of wood were scattered everywhere, and before Liang Ting could wake up, he heard the frightening and intensive gunshots.  He quickly got up and saw that his men were hit by intensive machine gun fire and fell to the ground one after another.  The two Panzer IV tanks in front were alerted by the gunfire and stopped advancing. In addition to the parallel machine guns in the turret, the two general-purpose machine guns mounted on the top armor immediately turned to search for targets.  "Hurry up and get into the house!" Liang Tingguang shouted sternly.  By the time his men reacted, nearly half of them were already lying in a pool of blood. The others rushed towards the houses on both sides despite the hail of bullets, broke in through the windows, and luckily escaped.  The Japs’ machine guns were still roaring, and dense bullets hit the bare road, bringing up streaks of smoke.  Soon, several melon grenades were thrown down by the Japanese soldiers.  "Boomboomboom" Several violent explosions sounded one after another, and the entire street was suddenly enveloped in smoke.  Liang Tingguang and his men, who were hiding in the house, had no choice but to lie under the wall to avoid the explosion.  At this time, the general-purpose machine guns on the two tanks finally found the Japs' machine gunner's position. They ordered the tank driver to slightly turn the front of the vehicle, then opened the machine gun and fired violently. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And other Japanese soldiers began to throw grenades downwards.  After several flashes of fire, the two external machine gunners died heroically.  Liang Tingguang exposed half of his head at the window and clearly saw that the two machine gunners were hit by shrapnel produced by the explosion and died on the spot.  In grief and anger, he shouted loudly: "Fire, fire at the building, knock it down!" The two tanks may have heard Liang Tingguang's reminder, and began to adjust the turret. The elevation angle was limited, and they could not move the muzzle.  Aim at the roof of the third floor, but you can aim at the junction of the first and second floors.  The Japanese soldiers quickly discovered the intentions of the Northeast New Army tanks. For a time, the light and heavy machine guns and single-handed shooters fired wildly at the two tanks.  Trying to stop them from carrying out their seemingly crazy actions.  The dense bullets hit the top defensive armor of the No. 4 tank, making sparks fly. Although the top armor of the tank was the weakest of all its armors.  But this is not something that the Japanese 6.5mm caliber bullets can penetrate.  It was the grenades thrown wildly by the Japanese that caused a lot of shock and trouble to the tank crews.  At this moment, Liang Tingguang roared: "Fight me, cover fire!" He raised his submachine gun with both hands and fired towards the top of the third floor opposite.  Other soldiers also followed suit, using semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and even machine guns to organize fierce and intensive firepower to suppress the Japanese soldiers.  Due to the limitation of shooting angle, their strafing shots are all directed diagonallyThe bullets were crisscrossing in the air, very dazzling.  A dense rain of bullets suddenly hit, causing a lot of casualties to the Japanese, and the Japanese's firepower was stagnant.  At this time, the two tanks finally fired at the two buildings next to them.  "Boom!" There were two loud noises, and two armor-piercing bullets with dazzling tracers hit the walls of the two buildings.  The buildings at this time were not the steel buildings made of reinforced cement concrete in later generations.  How can a wall made of blue bricks and wood withstand the bombardment of armor-piercing projectiles at such a close range?  After two loud noises, a big hole suddenly appeared in the wall near the street, and the house trembled violently. The Japanese soldier on the roof swayed and was a little unsteady, but it would not cause the whole house to collapse.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 221 The birth of Bazooka

    After being shocked, the Japanese soldiers on the rooftops on both sides began to throw grenades down even more frantically, causing fire and thick smoke to spread around the two tanks.  <－》 The movements of the two tanks could not be clearly seen from the outside, but soon, the familiar sound of shelling and the deafening explosions of the two tanks came again.  Liang Tingguang and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replaced the submachine guns in their hands with new magazines.  ??Continue to stick the gun out of the window, aim it at the rooftop of the third floor opposite, and continue shooting.  Intensive firepower hit the roof wall, and stone fragments flew and fell. Some Japanese soldiers who leaned out too much were hit, and their center of gravity was unstable and they fell directly from the third floor.  After more than ten rounds of armor-piercing and high-explosive bombs were used, the walls of the two three-story buildings finally collapsed from the second floor due to the overwhelming force.  While the smoke and dust filled the air, Liang Tingguang rushed out of the room with his surviving subordinates, running towards the two buildings that had begun to collapse.  When we arrived, we saw that the third floor had turned into the second floor. The roof was shrouded in white dust and smoke, and it was unclear whether the Japanese above were dead or alive.  Liang Tingguang, quick to his wits, shouted: "Hand grenades, hurry up and blow up these bloody beasts!" More than a dozen soldiers took out grenades and threw them to the roof of the collapsed third floor.  In this era, the height of the two-story building was only about four or five meters, and it was tilted due to collapse. Therefore, Liang Tingguang’s comrades easily threw a dozen grenades that were squeaking and smoking.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions suddenly burst out on the roof of the building.  The Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground due to the collapse of the building on the roof were submerged by the explosion before they could stand up. Each and every one of them was bloody and bloody, and they were dead.  After dealing with this group of Japs, Liang Tingguang, who suffered heavy losses, did not continue to attack. God knows how many Japs were still hiding in front of him and preparing to ambush.  Under the cover of two tanks, we collected the bodies of our fallen comrades and slowly retreated along the original road.  Scenes like this were constantly happening in Yingkou City, and many small teams like Liang Tingguang were ambushed by the Japanese's cunning tactics. ? **All the attacking troops of the 1st Division suffered considerable losses after a fierce battle for half a day.  Unexpectedly, they failed to capture Yingkou and instead withdrew from the city.  Huang Xiansheng was angry and angry, but in order to avoid unnecessary casualties to the troops, he had no choice but to order a halt to the attack and truthfully reported the situation to Zhang Xinghan.  In Shenyang City.  After Zhang Xinghan listened to Jiang Baili’s explanation.  He frowned slightly and said: "Let's put it this way. Compared with the Japanese soldiers who fought with us before, the tactical level of the Japanese soldiers in Yingkou is quite extraordinary." "Yes, the Japanese soldiers in Yingkou generally don't like the Japanese soldiers who fought with us before. When they see our  The attacking troops couldn't wait to open fire and conduct frontal fire defense. They exposed their position prematurely, giving our tanks and artillery the opportunity to calmly eliminate them. Now, they drove all the people in the city to the center of the city, using a large number of people.  Empty buildings are designed to ambush our infantry. They often pay unimaginable casualties. Some Japanese soldiers even use civilians as bait to lure our attacking troops into ambush.  , this offensive force can't carry out devastating artillery fire coverage everywhere it goes, right? How much ammunition will we consume in this way? Even if we carry out a crushing attack regardless of consumption, what will happen to Yingkou when the battle is over?  Isn’t it all in ruins?” Zhang Xinghan did not answer, but fell into deep thought.  Obviously, the Japanese army is also making progress.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan thought of a weapon for urban assault - a rocket launcher.  This kind of short-range direct-fire weapon for individual soldiers is extremely powerful and can be carried by individual soldiers.  It is definitely a powerful weapon for street fighting.  "Chief of Staff, you stay in Shenyang while I go to the front line. I have a way to break this mangy-style defense of the Japanese army!" Zhang Xinghan made up his mind.  "Okay. Commander, be careful." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  Zhang Xinghan said.  He was about to get up and leave at this time.  Shen Xingye suddenly ran in with a hurried look. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he saluted and said: "Commander, there is an urgent military situation from Jinzhou and Andong. The Japanese seem to want to retreat." "Retreat? Where are they retreating to?" Zhang Xinghan  Somewhat unexpected.  Under his deployment, the land connection between Jinzhou and Anton, especially the Japanese army in the direction of Jinzhou, and Dalian has been cut off.  It is no exaggeration to say that Jinzhou City is now an isolated city.  Shen Xingye said: "Where can I withdraw from my temporary humble position?"It's not clear, but our agents lurking in Jinzhou and Andong City reported that the Japanese family members and the logistics department were all busy gathering together, and they must be retreating.  " Jiang Baili suddenly took over the words and said: "Commander, do you think the Japanese army is planning to retreat by sea?  " "Retreat by sea?  "Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up. "Yes, it's the sea route. The Japanese will definitely not be able to go by land. They can only go by sea and land.  " Jiang Baili said. Zhang Xinghan squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Give Gao Zhihang power and send more fighter planes to patrol Jinzhou and the sea area in the direction of Huludao closely. If it encounters a ship, it can be sunk.  "Commander, I'm afraid this won't stop the Japanese. They can choose to evacuate at night. Our air force has not yet overcome the difficulties of night flying, so it does not have the ability to fly at night."  "Jiang Baili said worriedly. "Then dispatch all the air force, cruise along the coast from Dalian to Huludao, and sink all ships that can be seen, regardless of whether we are friendly or enemy!  Zhang Xinghan said in an indifferent tone: "We will never give the Japanese any chance to escape!"  "    "yes!  "Jiang Baili Langsheng responded, turned and left. "Yizhi, you immediately cooperate with Guo Zhong's arrangements, and we go to the front line of Yingkou.  "After Jiang Baili left, Zhang Xinghan ordered Shen Xingye. "Yes, I will make arrangements immediately."  "Shen Xingye stood up and saluted, then took the order and turned around. ………………………………………… On the dirt road from Liaoyang to Yingkou, a convoy was winding south. In the compartment of an armored vehicle, Zhang Xinghan  While there was no one around, he was turning on his watch. After the battle in Shenyang, his kill count had now reached nearly 4 million. It was not a problem to unlock a small rocket launcher with only 100,000 kills.  It was worth it, but thinking that after conquering the peninsula, it was best to build up his own navy, Zhang Xinghan looked at the options of naval ships and technical equipment. He was really shocked when he saw it. He could only say, navy.  It’s a fucking waste of money. Although it’s worth killing enemies to me, it’s extremely scary. An aircraft carrier actually costs one million enemy killing points, which requires killing no less than 100,000 Japanese troops to get it.  . How many years does it take for a battle as big as Shenyang to end in victory? The prices of the other 7788 are also ridiculously expensive. Zhang Xinghan made preliminary calculations. If he really builds a fleet, he can reach it in one ship.  The naval fleet composed of two aircraft carrier battle groups is really not enough to kill the enemy. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that it is more important to wipe out the remaining hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.  To Zhang Xinghan, these Japanese troops were one or two aircraft carriers, or an aircraft carrier battle group. That afternoon, the Air Force once again dispatched its entire force to conduct a large-scale patrol, search and bombing of the coastal waters of the Bohai Bay, but the effect was not great.  After all, it is not possible for one or two hundred aircraft to accurately search the vast coastal waters. The aircraft at this time do not have radar and other high-tech search and detection equipment. If they fly over it accidentally, they will be hundreds of meters away.  Mi. Moreover, the Japs' painful experience of being attacked by the Northeast New Army made them greatly alert. Most of the ships along the coast fled in advance or hid. Therefore, even though Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang put a lot of effort into searching.  It failed to cause much damage to the Japanese ships. In the end, because night was approaching, the aerial search had to be ended and the ground forces of the Northeast New Army also stopped their attack on Yingkou, waiting for Zhang Xinghan's arrival.  Zhang Xinghan finally arrived at the Haicheng front line at dawn and met Huang Xiansheng, Niu Erzhu and others who had been waiting for a long time. "Commander!  "Huang Xiansheng, Niu Erzhu and others all stood up and saluted. "Okay, don't be polite, tell me how the situation is in Yingkou.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hand in return. The two were reporting to Zhang Xinghua when suddenly Shen Xingye hurriedly walked out of an armored vehicle. "Commander, our internal line in Jinzhou reported that the Japanese evacuated Jinzhou and Jinzhou at night last night.  Huludao.  "Shen Xingye saluted and reported. "Withdrawn?  Evacuated from the sea?  "Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised. "Yes.  "Shen Xingye nodded. "It seems that the little devils are planning to shrink their troops and defend the Liaodong Peninsula with all their strength. They ordered the 3rd Division to seize Jinzhou and Huludao immediately, and sent out a warning to the Shanhaiguan area.Troops in case there are changes in the customs.  "Zhang Xinghan immediately made arrangements. "Yes!  After Shen Xingye saluted, he turned and left. After watching Shen Xingye leave, Zhang Xinghan turned to Huang Xiansheng and Niu Erzhu and said, "I already know the general situation in Yingkou. This time, I brought you a new style  Weapons, you quickly mobilize a group of experienced gunners, and I personally conduct crash training on them so that they can use this new weapon as soon as possible. With it, Yingkou will be defeated within one day!  Huang Xiansheng and Niu Erzhu were delighted when they heard this. After looking at each other, they both stood up and said, "Yes!"  ” ps: I was making dumplings for dinner with my family today, and I wasted my coding time. As a matter of time, there are only two updates. I owe 4,000 words, and I will compensate you 8,000 tomorrow, which is 18,600.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 222: Unstoppable

    The bazooka Zhang Xinghan chose for the army is the m9a1 model. Compared with their predecessors such as the m1, the m9 is relatively more mature and has more stable performance in all aspects.  <－》 Historically, this rocket launcher was used by the Americans until the Korean War, until it encountered the steel torrent composed of the North Korean Army's T34/85 and IS-2 heavy tanks.  It just seems a little inadequate.  This forced the birth of the Super Bazooka. In other words, this rocket launcher equipped by the Northeast New Army can be used for at least another ten or two years without falling behind.  After all, this thing only came out 40 years later, and now Zhang Xinghan has made it come out several years earlier than the Zero fighter.  Of course, this is only relatively speaking. Who knows if the Northeastern New Army is equipped with bazooka, will it force other countries to follow suit and improve the performance of their bazooka opponents?  This is what is called mutual stimulation, oppression generates motivation, and thus promotes progress.  The rocket launcher is not a technically difficult weapon to operate. Generally, anyone with a little experience in artillery can do it.  “ Then Zhang Xinghan, an all-around special soldier, will give you guidance step by step and by words and deeds.  It was easy to master its control, and then started the one-day test firing with excitement.  From the initial excitement to the final excitement, the artillerymen experienced great changes in their moods within one day.  Some people were so excited that they shouted to Zhang Xinghan regardless of their dignity: "Commander, this thing is so damn easy to use. With it, it will be much easier for us to deal with the little devils who are waiting to trick us.  " Zhang Xinghan smiled with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted. He instructed: "This rocket launcher was developed to deal with enemy fortifications and enemies behind lurking bunkers. In addition, it has another great use. Then  It's an anti-tank. You must remember that you must not let it fall into the hands of the Japanese army during the battle. Even if you are going to die, you must destroy it at all costs. "Do you understand?"  The voice in the ear responded neatly to him.  "Have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, I hope that with your help, our blue sky and white sun flag can be planted all over Yingkou City as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Zhang Xinghan only equipped the 1st Infantry Division with 300 bazookas in advance.  It's not that it doesn't want to equip more, it even wants every infantry squad to have one. In street fighting, this thing is definitely much easier to use than the little devil's grenade. ?????? No matter it’s power or range.  The key is that it can not only do fortifications and hit people, but also has anti-tank and armored vehicle capabilities. It can hit accurately every time, which is much better than a grenade.     only.  In a short period of time, it is unrealistic to train too many artillerymen capable of using rocket launchers.  It is the limit for a ** division to draw five to six hundred artillerymen to serve as rocket soldiers. There are two people for each rocket launcher, the primary and secondary shooters, one carries the rocket launcher, and the other carries ammunition.  You can’t turn all the officers and soldiers in the division who know how to shoot artillery into rocket soldiers, right?  Artillery regiments and other artillery must be operated by people, right?  Moreover, considering the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves in Yingkou and the size of the city, it is enough for one division to be equipped with 300 rocket launchers.  It is basically guaranteed that every assault force will be equipped with three to five bazookas.  It’s enough to ensure what they need to advance.  As soon as the bazooka was put in, its effect was immediately apparent.  The attack the day before yesterday suffered a defeat and suffered heavy losses from Liang Tingguang's troops.  Today's attack again was much smoother.  This time Liang Tingguang led a platoon and a half of nearly fifty officers and soldiers, including four bazooka rocket launchers. Under the cover of three No. 4 tanks, they continued to advance along the street where they attacked the day before yesterday.  The reason why they were allowed to attack along the same route was because they were more familiar with the terrain and environment here than other teams.  There are lessons learned from last time.  This time, the three Panzer IV tanks did not all go in front, but with one at the head and one in the middle.  The other one is at the back.  Liang Tingguang and more than 50 officers and soldiers were divided into three groups and followed behind the three No. 4 tanks on both sides, advancing slowly and vigilantly.  When they passed the place where they were ambushed the day before yesterday, they didn't go far.  They were ambushed by the Japs again. This time the Japs not only appeared on the top floor of the building, but there were also machine guns roaring from the sealed windows on the second floor.  Dazzling tongues of fire spit out, and dense bullets poured down like rain.  "However, after suffering a loss, the Northeastern officers and soldiers were extremely vigilant. Almost as soon as the Japanese opened fire, they scattered and relied on tanks to evade.  Due to timely evasion, less than five unlucky soldiers were hit, three died on the spot, and twoHe was injured and lay on the ground making a horrifying howl.  Soon, other soldiers dragged the two injured companions behind the tank to hide.  Liang Tingguang was also hiding behind a tank at this moment, using the Japs machine gun's blind spot to dodge. The armor above his head was rattled by the dense bullets.  Holding up his helmet, Liang Tingguang shouted to his subordinates: "Where's the rocket launcher? Have you seen the enemy's position? Shoot for me!" "Yes!" The eight rocket launcher officers and soldiers began to take action, relying on the tanks and obstacles to quickly lock on  target.  “Swish, swish, swish… the four rockets were fired in vain, dragging long tail flames straight towards their respective targets.  Boomboomboomseveral loud noises suddenly erupted in several places where the Japanese were hiding.  A rocket accurately hit a sealed window on the second floor. The huge hot shock wave immediately shattered the window, and the two Japanese machine gunners hiding behind the window were blown away.  A light machine gun with a crooked handle was also blown out of shape.  As for the Japanese machine guns on the roof, they were directly blown down by the men and their guns, and the broken bricks and stones of the wall were shot and danced like a goddess scattering flowers.  Scattered everywhere.  The billowing smoke has not yet dissipated, and all the enemy ambush firepower points have been silenced.  Liang Tingguang stood up from behind the tank in surprise, looking up at the explosion point where the smoke and fire still lingered.  He couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "Fuck!" The other soldiers raised their guns and cheered, whispering to each other and talking excitedly.  Liang Tingguang suddenly raised the submachine gun in his hand and shouted confidently: "Brothers, continue the attack!" The three Panzer IV tanks started again. Except for four of the dozens of officers and soldiers who stayed to take care of the two injured companions, the rest  Everyone followed the tanks and continued their relentless attack.  February 3rd, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, was destined to be the day when the bazooka rocket launcher would shine.  When ambushing the Northeastern New Army's offensive troops at the entrances of alleys and alleys in various buildings, large and small, in the city.  The hot and powerful shells dealt them heavy blows.  To the surprise of the Japanese soldiers, these shells turned out to be fired from weapons carried on the shoulders of the infantrymen of the Northeast New Army.  They had never seen this weapon before, but they were lucky enough to experience its power.  Because it can be carried on the shoulder to fight with an individual soldier, its flexibility is extremely powerful.  Especially in street battles where various artillery can hardly make a difference, its power and role are fully utilized.  In this way, Yingkou City, defended by more than 30,000 Japanese troops, was broken through by the Japanese First Division in less than a day.  The Japanese army lost more than half, and the rest evacuated Yingkou City in a hurry.  Fleeed towards Dalian.     no doubt.  The Japanese troops who abandoned the city and fled were quickly attacked by Li Zhenyuan's armored group.  In previous siege battles, it was impossible for tanks and armored vehicles to participate in large-scale battles.  Only a small number of tanks were sent to coordinate the infantry attack.  Therefore, the officers and soldiers of several tank regiments were almost going crazy because of the exhaustion, and the little Japanese retreated.  They immediately swarmed up like a swarm of sharks smelling blood.  On the retreat road from Yingkou to Dalian, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers evacuated from Yingkou City were attacked by the Northeast New Army Air Force and ground armored forces.  Even Gaizhou was defeated before it could reach Gaizhou. At this point, the Yingkou garrison of more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers had been completely lost.  That night.  With the assistance of the armored troops, the 1st Division of the Northeast New Army took advantage of the situation and captured Gaizhou, with its troops directed towards Dalian.  It’s night, in Haicheng County, Zhang Xinghan’s temporary camp is brightly lit.  "Commander, Gaizhou has been captured, and we can march to Dashiqiao early tomorrow morning." Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the ** 2nd Division, reported to Zhang Xinghan with excitement.  "What is the deployment of Japanese troops in Dashiqiao?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Not much, the big stone bridge is unsafe to defend. The main force of the Japanese army should be gathering towards Dalian now!" Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghan lightly pressed the conference table, glanced at Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe, and ordered: "The 2nd Division and the 3rd Division will set off immediately and arrive in Gaizhou tonight. Tomorrow, we will go hand in hand with the ** 1st Division to break through the big stone bridge.  , attack Dalian! At the same time, in my name, I inform the soldiers of all divisions that this battle will be the last battle on the Liaodong Peninsula. After the liberation of Dalian, there will be no more wars in the three eastern provinces. The officers and soldiers of all departments must go all out to serve the country and the nation.  Make new achievements!" "Yes!" Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe stood up and responded at the same time, with excitement and enthusiasm in their eyes.  ? ??……………… Dalian, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  The atmosphere was a little depressing. Hashimoto Toranosuke had just reported the news of the fall of Yingkou to Muto Nobuyoshi, an old devil.  Muto Nobuyoshi, who was about to leave office and return to his hometown tomorrow, was frowning at this moment. After a long time, he raised his head and asked with a tone of reluctance: "Hashimoto-kun, is China's new northeastern army really so powerful that it cannot be improved? The thirty thousand imperial army  "General, according to reports from the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, the Chinese army attacking Yingkou was equipped with a powerful artillery weapon carried and fired by a single infantryman.  It is extremely useful for street fighting. It has a long range, great flexibility, and great power. It can be said that the Imperial Army was defeated by this new artillery," Hashimoto Toranosuke explained in a daze.  ps: Thanks to abccd5432, enigmayanxi, /aiq Qianheng/aiq, Hero of the Great Qin, jerryw1975, Book Friends 080316202357907, Gu Yuezhou, Hero Hero 111, Fish in the Book, Quancheng People, Hanchenpy, waxs1234, new nicknameˉnickname  Already exists, Book Friends 130803001439451, Fatty My Day, hmily2011, Lao Wang Arthur, Past Sui Feng, Xiaoyao Shenjian 9986 and other brothers and sisters support it with their rewards, subscriptions and votes.

    "Firing artillery from the shoulder?" Muto Nobuyoshi was confused, it was simply unheard of.  <－》 "Yes, this is an advanced new artillery piece. It is light enough to be fired by a soldier on his shoulder. It can shoot directly, but its power is surprisingly powerful. It is incredible." Hashimoto Toranosuke also said with a look of shock.  .  “Are there any seized samples?” Muto Nobuyoshi asked.  Hashimoto Toranosuke shook his head and said no, and immediately asked: "General, I heard that reinforcements will arrive tonight. Will we have to hand over command to the new commander Hisashikari Taka tomorrow morning?" "Yes.  "Muto Nobuyoshi nodded without denying it and said: "General Hisoka Taka, escorted by the naval transport fleet, has now arrived outside the Bohai Bay. He should be heading towards Lushun at full speed and will be able to land ashore in the middle of the night at the latest.  "Then we will go back to Japan." Hashimoto Toranosuke's eyes showed unwillingness to lose.  Before Muto Xinyi answered, suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside.  The two of them turned around and saw Ishihara walking in with a smile on his face.  Having no experience, Ishihara Wanji asked when they met: "General, I just heard that reinforcements will arrive tonight, right?" "Yes." Muto Nobuyoshi hesitated and nodded, then asked: "What, Ishihara-kun?  Is there any problem? " "General, we immediately prevent the reinforcements from landing, and immediately join them in the transport fleet to evacuate Dalian," Ishihara said in surprise.  "Nani? Give up Dalian?" Muto Nobuyoshi was a little surprised and looked at Ishihara Wan'er uncertainly: "Ishihara-kun, you didn't drink too much, did you? Now didn't you tell me to gather my troops and defend Dalian with all my strength? Now Jinzhou and An  The Eastern Capital has been abandoned, and the imperial army has concentrated no less than 100,000 troops in the Dalian area, but you want me to abandon this place and withdraw my troops? " "General, I am not drunk because of my humble position," Ishihara said calmly.  : "This time and that time. Originally, the performance of the former Emperor's Army at Yingkou also strengthened Hsiao-chi's confidence in holding on to Dalian. However, yesterday's battle, the addition of the new artillery of the China Army, immediately made Hsin-chu's confidence in holding on to Dalian disappear. "  The power of the shoulder-mounted direct-fire artillery carried by individual soldiers is no worse than that of infantry artillery. With this weapon, it is no longer possible for the imperial army to hold on to the Chinese army's attack with the help of solid fortifications and the complex terrain crisscrossing the city.  , It will only increase unnecessary casualties, and it is meaningless." Muto Nobuyoshi was a little dissatisfied.  He said: "Ishihara-kun, you are a bit alarmist. We have an army of 100,000 and are densely deployed to defend Dalian, a small place. Can't we still hold it?" "If the imperial army has air superiority, then it can definitely hold it.  But we don’t have the key. Not only do we not have air superiority, but our own safety is also threatened, and we cannot provide strong naval gunfire support. As a result, it is impossible for the imperial army to defend the perimeter without a perimeter. As for street fighting.  , it can be seen from the Battle of Yingkou, it is not difficult to guess the final outcome of the Battle of Dalian," Ishihara smiled and replied unhurriedly.  After listening to Ishihara Kanji’s analysis.  Muto Nobuyoshi fell into hesitation. It can be said that he was already a little exhausted mentally and physically, and he was also overwhelmed by the Northeastern New Army. He was a little shaken.  He hesitated and said: "But even if we withdraw now, it is impossible for a hundred thousand troops to evacuate overnight, and there are already 40,000 imperial troops on the naval transport fleet. There are not many extra ships that can carry Dalian's officers and soldiers." "  This is not difficult. The reinforcements can be disembarked immediately on Changshan Island, Zhangzi Island and other islands, and then transport the Dalian Imperial Army officers and soldiers to retreat. As long as we withdraw to the islands far away from the land, they will.  There is nothing we can do, the best we can do is send the air force to bomb, but it is impossible to completely wipe out our Dalian defenders," Ishihara said with a smile.  "Changshan Island? Zhangzi Island?" Muto Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this.  Chief of Staff Hashimoto Toranosuke also suddenly realized: "General, this is really a good idea. There are dozens of large and small islands in the Bohai Bay. Not to mention an army of 100,000, even an army of 500,000 can be accommodated." Muto Nobuyoshi  After pondering for a moment, he said: "&#x65b0;The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Hisashi-Karitaka, is about to arrive. I must inform him of this idea and report it to the base camp for them to make a decision." Ishihara Wanji was anxious when he heard this: "But General, General Hisashi-Karitaka has just arrived in Manchuria, and  Without understanding the situation, what if he doesn't agree to give up Dalian?  There is also the base camp, which is thousands of miles away. How can such a decision be left to them? This will cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of imperial warriors.  " Muto Nobuyoshi shrugged helplessly: "Ishihara-kun, you have to know that even if we don't report to the base camp, we will still have to know General Hisashi Karitaka. He is the new commander of the Kwantung Army, and there are 40,000 reinforcements and transport fleets.  Under his control, how can we retreat without his consent?  " Ishihara Wanji nodded silently and said: "I hope General Hisashikari Taka can calm down and never make too stupid a decision.  " "Don't be too pessimistic, Ishihara-kun. I will explain in detail the difficulties we are facing now and state the pros and cons in a message to General Hishikari Taka. I think General Hishikari Taka will agree."  "Muto Nobuyoshi said with relief. ……………………………… On the sea about a hundred nautical miles away from Dalian, there are dozens of large transport ships and frigates, destroyers and cruisers, and small gunboats.  The fleet is sailing at full speed in the direction of Dalian. On one of the light cruisers, the new Kwantung Army Commander Admiral Hisashi Karitaka is currently in his room discussing the situation with the new Chief of Staff Kuniaki Oiso, Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura Neiji and others.  The peninsula war was so serious that it could not be supplemented. General Lingyilong was an army general like Muto Nobuyoshi, and he also served as the commander of the Kwantung Army before the September 18th Incident.  He, he can be said to be Honjo Shigeru's predecessor. Counting this time, this old devil has served in the Kwantung Army for the second time.7684;Compared with his calmness, Hisashikari Takashi, an old Japanese soldier, is more serious and courageous. In addition, he has a long-standing understanding of China's issues. He has always been called the leader of the army within the Japanese Army.  This reputation is not something that ordinary people can imagine.  It can be seen that at this juncture, the Japanese base camp chose Hisashi Karari to take over as the commander of the Kwantung Army, hoping that he could turn the tide and curb the deteriorating situation on the Liaodong Peninsula.  To defend the last base in Manchuria for the Japanese Empire.  His chief of staff, Kuniaki Oiso, is not a good person either. He graduated from the same class as Sugiyama Gen, Hata Shunroku and Nishio Hiszo.  He once served in the Ministry of War for a long time. Historically, he also served as the commander of the Japanese Army in Korea for a long time. He was known as the Tiger of Korea.  As for Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura Neiji, let alone the famous name of this old devil. His strategic vision and tactical command ability are definitely among the best among the Japanese invaders.  “It’s just that now he is just a major general, serving as an assistant to Koiso Kuniaki.  Several old Japanese were lost in discussion when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside. Neji Okamura raised his head first and squinted his eyes. He could clearly hear that the sound was the sound of cowhide military boots stepping on the iron corridor.  dispatched.  Sure enough, soon there was a knock on the door of the room. Neji Okamura walked over and asked: "Who is it?" "An emergency telegram was sent from the Dalian Headquarters of the Kwantung Army!" A voice came from outside the door.  Some urgent sounds.  Okamura Neji looked back at Koiso Kuniaki and Hishikaritaka, and then opened the door.  A Japanese military communications soldier quickly saluted. Okamura Neji subconsciously saluted back and let him in sideways.  After walking in, the Japanese communications soldier respectfully stopped his feet and saluted the two old Japanese soldiers, Hisashi Karitaka and Koiso Kuniaki: "General, Commander Muto Xinyi is calling!" Koiso Kuniaki took the message with a strange expression and handed it to him respectfully.  Ling Qialong.  Hisashi Karutaka took the message and read it over, his expression was39; became dignified.  "General, what's wrong?" Koiso Kuniaki asked.  “Commander Nobuyoshi Muto wants us to immediately land on the Changshan Islands and other islands, and free up warships to assist the evacuation of the Dalian Imperial Army.” Hisashikari Takashi said in surprise.  "What? Evacuate?" The expressions of Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Neji both changed drastically.  However, the former was obviously more impulsive than Okamura Neji, and said angrily: "General, Muto Nobuyoshi and the others have lost most of the Northeast, and now they even want to give up Dalian, the only outlet to the sea? This is simply unreasonable!" Hisashikari Taka fell into deep thought.  In the middle, Okamura Neiji suddenly asked: "General, Commander Muto and the others, are they in any trouble?" Hishikari Takashi nodded and said: "Well, the China Army is equipped with a new type of artillery. This kind of artillery is used in  The 30,000-strong imperial army was defeated in one day, and the entrance to Dalian became an enemy! General Muto Nobuyoshi has given up hope of holding Dalian, so he hopes that we can cooperate with their evacuation." As he said that, Hisashi Karataka handed the message to Oka.  Neji Murura said: "Here is a general introduction to the enemy's advanced artillery. Okamura-kun, you and Koiso-kun can take a look." After reading it, Okamura Neji and Koiso Kuniaki frowned in thought and seemed to be thinking about it.  What are you wearing?  However, Oiso Kuniaki said to Hisashi Karitaka: "Sir General, I think there is no need for us to cooperate with their extremely stupid decision. There are still 100,000 imperial troops in Dalian, with sufficient reserves of weapons, ammunition and food, plus the 40,000 we brought.  Reinforcements. Can't we defend the mere city of Dalian with 140,000 troops? Anyway, you are already the newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army at the base camp. As soon as we land, Muto Nobuyoshi will have to hand over the command of the 100,000 Kwantung Army.  I believe that under the general’s wise command, we will be able to turn defeat into victory and defend Dalian!” (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 224: Okamura Neji

    "Two generals, I believe that General Muto's decision is correct. <-" Just when Hishikari Takashi was hesitant, Okamura Neji, who had been deep in thought, suddenly said.  Koiso Kuniaki looked at Okamura Neji with some dissatisfaction and said: "Okamura-kun, what are you talking about? How could Muto's decision be correct? Are you also greedy for life and afraid of death and advocate giving up?" Okamura Nei  Ci Yiran was not afraid to meet Koiso Kuniaki's eyes and said: "Sir, I am just seeking truth from facts. As a member of the emperor, I will never be willing to give up any inch of the country easily. If I can, I can even defend it with my life. I  We always think about opening up territory and expanding our living space for the empire, the emperor, and the entire Yamato nation. But all of this must be based on reason. If we act blindly, it will only cause us incalculable losses.  Since the Manchuria Incident, the empire has lost more than 300,000 troops in Manchuria, and the veterans of the 17 active divisions have been almost exhausted. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat effectiveness of our army has dropped by a whole level. Now Zhang Xinghan.  The new Northeast Army led by him has risen, and the situation in Northeast China has deteriorated to an irreversible point. Temporarily abandoning Dalian and preserving our precious vital forces is undoubtedly the most correct choice. Because there is no land to seize again, and there is no weapons and ammunition to reproduce.  If the food is gone, we can plant it again, but if there are no elite veterans with combat experience, it will be a serious and irreparable loss." After finishing speaking, Okamura Ningji said to Hisashi Karitaka: "Your Excellency, the Chinese have a saying.  The future is long, and there is no need to worry about the green hills without firewood. What we need to do now is not to compete with the Northeast New Army for a while under the extremely unfavorable circumstances. We must preserve our effective strength as much as possible and wait for the empire to recover.  After gaining strength and developing more advanced technological weapons, we can take revenge. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. In this way, we also have the opportunity to study the combat style and weaknesses of the Northeast New Army and formulate a plan.  Tit-for-tat battle plan, only in this way can we avenge our past humiliation and revive the prestige of our Imperial Army of Japan!" Hisashi Kari Taka fell into deep hesitation.  Instinct told him.  What Okamura Neji said is very reasonable.  However, he gave up Dalian and retreated to the isolated island without even seeing the shadow of the Northeast New Army.  There seems to be a little bit of unwillingness.  Hisashikari Taka is like this, and he is even more arrogant and eager to show off than his classmates Sugiyama Moto and Hata Shun, the top six Koiso Kuniaki.  Especially his old classmate Shunroku Hata was defeated in Shenyang and committed seppuku.  He was shocked. On the one hand, he wanted to avenge his old classmates, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use his military exploits.  Prove to everyone that his military command ability is much stronger than that of his classmates, who did not perform as well as his classmates in the military school. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Seeing Hishikarataka’s hesitation, Koiso Kuniaki immediately gave him a strong dose of medicine.  "General, have you forgotten the order given to us by the base camp? The Army Ministry has withstood great pressure this time. We must defend Dalian, otherwise we will fall into an extremely passive situation in the base camp in the future. The Navy will even use this opportunity.  This is a big criticism of the incompetence of our army. General, you should understand what I mean, right?" Hisashikari's eyes tightened and he looked at Koiso Kuniaki with complicated eyes.  There are many factions within the National Government.  Isn't that true for the Japanese?  It’s just that the Japanese factions are divided into the navy and the army. When they really encounter urgent matters, they will still cooperate with each other to fight.  "At least the orders from the top will be implemented to the end. This is the benefit of the Japanese army's strict hierarchy. No matter what kind of order, the execution will never be compromised. ????????????????????????????????? The factions within the Japanese army are divided into the Imperial Faction and the Control Faction.  These two factions have left-leaning ideas and have been fighting openly and covertly for many years. The March Incident was the masterpiece of the young officers of the Imperial Sect.  Both Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Neji belong to the Imperial Way Sect.  The ruling faction was headed by the main officials of the Navy Ministry.  ??????????????????????????????????????So although Koiso Kuniaki has not finished speaking, Hishikaritaka fully understands its meaning.  One sentence.  if&#x9646The Kwantung Army under the ; army has really lost even its last base, the Liaodong Peninsula.  That will make the Army's position in the base camp more passive and inferior.  The ruling faction will have the upper hand, and the Emperor's faction, brainwashed by militarist ideas, will launch a war of military aggression to transform the country, and their plan to dominate the world will be postponed indefinitely, or even cut in half.  This is something the members of the Imperial Dao Sect never want to see.  Originally, because Japan is an island country, the navy is more important than the army. Most of the military budget and strategic resources are given priority to the navy.  If the Army continues to languish like this, the consequences will be consequences that Koiso Kuniaki and other Imperial Road faction radicals would never want to see.  If he could have the cool-headedness and foresight of Neji Okamura, he might be able to endure a temporary loss of power and agree to withdraw his troops with the overall situation in mind.  It’s a pity that he is not Okamura Neji, and his strategic vision is destined to be unable to compare with Okamura Neji.  It happened that such a person was still standing in the position of superior to Okamura Neji, so when he saw Hisashikari Takashi seemed to be persuaded, Okamura Neji sighed in a low voice without leaving any trace.  He knew that these 140,000 imperial troops were probably going to die.  Sure enough, after pondering for a long time, Hisashi Karitaka finally made up his mind and said solemnly: "Chief of Staff Koiso is right. We can't escape without a fight, and we can't let Dalian be lost from our hands like this. However, as a precaution, we  Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura had to consider the suggestion. Let’s order the transport fleet to return as close as possible to the Changshan Islands to prepare for any eventuality.” Neiji Okamura knew that he was powerless to change this decision, so he had no choice but to make a slight move.  nodded.  Dalian, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army.  Hashimoto Toranosuke walked in with a sad face and a message in his hand.  "Hashimoto-kun, what's wrong with you?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked with a bad premonition in his heart.  “General, Commander Hisashikarutaka called, he is different&#24847;We gave up Dalian's decision and ordered us in the name of the new commander not to evacuate without authorization until he arrives to hand over command!  "Hashimoto Toranosuke said with a heavy tone. "What?  "Muto Nobuyoshi was shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Ishihara Wanji. But he found that Ishihara Wan'er's face became very ugly, and he almost said an annoyed word from between his teeth: "It's over, the Kwantung Army is completely over.  …” …………… Gaizhou City, the headquarters of the 1st Independent Division. Niu Erzhu, dressed in military uniform, walked in, saluted the division commander Huang Xiansheng with a snap and said: "Master, the assault troops are all ready."  "    "Ah, very good.  Huang Xiansheng nodded happily and said: "Wafangdian is close to Pulandian and is the only place to attack Dalian. Your mission is to rush 90 kilometers overnight, attack Wafangdian, seize an advance base for the main force of our army, and then hold it."  , do you understand everything?  "    "clear!  Niu Erzhu stood up and said. "Well, let's go. The tank regiment will be assigned to you. Don't let me down. The honor of our independent 1st Division is all in your hands."  "Huang Xiansheng patted his shoulder meaningfully. "Yes!  Please rest assured, sir, we promise to complete the mission and will never embarrass the 1st Independent Division. The glory will always belong to our 1st Independent Division!  Niu Erzhu saluted and then turned around and was ordered to leave. After leaving the division headquarters, Niu Erzhu led his first infantry regiment and tank regiment to form a night attack assault force, and quickly attacked along the railway line in the direction of Wafangdian. At the same time,  , Hisashikarari has led the reinforcements to the sea area less than fifty nautical miles away from Dalian, and is even closer to the Changshan Islands. Okamura Neji, who has left, suddenly returns. "Okamura-kun, what happened?  "Hisugataka, who had just wanted to sleep for a while, put on his military uniform and yawned sleepily and asked. "Your Excellency, General, I have a suggestion from my humble position.  "Okamura Ningji said. "It is recommended that if you give up Dalian, don't say it again.  "Hisugataka said without thinking. ???No, Your Excellency General, now there are more than 100,000 imperial troops gathered in the area from Dalian to Pulandian and Wafangdian.  If we land from Dalian again, will it be unnecessary?  After all, this will not directly help the battle situation.  "Ishihara smiled and said pointedly. "What do you mean?  " Hishikari Taka looked at him in confusion. Okamura Neji stepped towards the map on the conference table, and Hishikari Taka followed him in confusion. When he came to the map, Okamura Neji raised his head and looked at Hishikari Taka.  Pointing at the map, he said: "General, look, the distance from Yingkou to Dalian is nearly five hundred miles.  With such a long distance, if we suddenly land at Yingkou when the main force of the Chinese Army is attacking Dalian, and use the firepower of the naval escort fleet as cover to recapture the Yingkou in one fell swoop, the attacking force of the Chinese Army will be cut into two parts by us.  The general then ordered Dalian's 100,000 imperial troops to attack across the board, concentrating superior forces to encircle and annihilate the China Army that broke into the peninsula. If we can win this battle well, we really have a chance to turn defeat into victory!  " Okamura Neji's words made Hisashi Karitaka's eyes light up. In addition to a little admiration for Okamura Neji, he was also vaguely worried and said: "Okamura-kun, I couldn't hold the camp entrance with 30,000 Kwantung Army defenders. Ours  Can 40,000 troops hold it?  If you fail to defend the camp entrance, you will most likely be eaten by the Chinese.  " "General, the final defense is actually an attack. After we capture Yingkou, we don't necessarily have to defend Yingkou. Forty thousand troops are enough for us to counterattack Haicheng, Liaoyang and other places.  The main force of the Chinese Army is on the front line, and the rear is extremely empty. As long as we are fast enough and use tactics appropriately, we can still win in danger.  You must know that not every general of the China Army has superb adaptability.  Once the rear is captured by us, they will definitely fall into a panic and be attacked from both sides. The imperial army will definitely be able to defeat them with a superior force of 100,000!  "Okamura Neiji said confidently&#12290;(To be continued.

    The dark night sky shrouded the entire peninsula, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.  <－》 In the wilderness, the silence is really terrifying.  On the road along the railway, Niu Erzhu was leading his troops to march in a hurry at night. In order to avoid exposing the target and falling into an ambush, Niu Erzhu dispatched a vanguard unit ten miles away from the main force.  The vanguard troops all ride three-wheeled motorcycles, all equipped with submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns, and are composed of the most elite scouts in the entire regiment.  Because the Japanese army lost Gaizhou, the main forces retreated to the Wafangdian area.  But there are quite a few platoons of scouts for reconnaissance and warning.  The vanguard troops sent by Niu Erzhu encountered several groups along the way, but they were basically caught up and killed.  Occasionally, there are fish that slip through the net, and the speed of reporting information cannot keep up with the advancement speed of Niu Erzhu's mechanized force.  90 kilometers away, Niu Erzhu arrived at Wafangdian in less than three hours.  Although the Japanese army was alert, Niu Erzhu immediately ordered the troops to attack.  The powerful deterrent power of a tank regiment gave him confidence.  It is not a problem to win a small Wafangdian.  From a geographical point of view, Wafangdian is far inferior to Pulandian to the south, which is the real gate to attack the Dalian area.  So it seems a bit tasteless.  The Japanese deployed a symbolic defense force of 3,000 people here as an early warning for Pulandian.  As soon as the gunfire rang out in Wafangdian, the main force of the Japanese army in Pulandian knew immediately and there was still enough time to prepare for battle.  Tank gun groups have become the primary means of attack for the Northeastern New Army. After all, hundreds of 75mm-caliber direct-fire guns are quite good in terms of lethality and destructive power.  Wafangdian, a small place, is not even a county seat. It is at best a town. The reason why it prospered is because the South-Manchuria Railway passes through here. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It are just an ordinary town in rural China.  There was no city wall, so the Japanese army had to build a few lines of defense relying on the few buildings in the town.  After the shelling continued for about ten minutes, the Japanese outer positions were filled with flames. Niu Erzhu threw an infantry battalion into the attack.  Nearly one-third of the tanks cooperated, while the other tanks continued to carry out extended shelling into the town.  In the dark night.  Dazzling flames rose up one after another, combined with the flares launched by the Northeast New Army, illuminating this transportation town as if it were daytime.  With the assistance of the tank troops, the infantry battalion easily broke through the Japanese perimeter defense line.  In fact, after being hit by fierce tank fire.  The Japanese army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, transferred the surviving forward troops back to their positions in the town.  Their goal is not to keep the enemy out of Wafangdian.  Instead, try to contain them as much as possible, slow down the enemy's attack speed, and buy time for Pulandian's main force.  Therefore, they will not have reinforcements coming.  If they can't hold on for long, they will give up here and break out.  Under the dark night, Niu Erzhu was sitting in an armored vehicle smoking, looking at the pocket watch around his hand and neck from time to time.  The flashes of fire, shouts of death and gunshots from time to time kept lingering in his ears, making him gradually become anxious.     finally.  A motorcycle rumbled quickly.  A second lieutenant officer jumped out of the car and saluted Niu Erzhu: "Deputy division seat." "You're back? How is the situation?" Niu Erzhu raised his head and asked eagerly.  “The Japs in the direction of Pulandian show no signs of sending reinforcements,” the second lieutenant officer reported.  "So, these Japs are alone?" Niu Erzhu's mouth sounded playful.  "From a geographical point of view, Wafangdian is far less important than Pulandian. It is a humble position. The Japanese will not be stupid to defend here. Their real line of defense should be in Pulandian." The second lieutenant expressed his opinion  .  Niu Erzhu nodded in agreement and said, "In other words, the Japanese in Wafangdian are vigilant beings?!" "You can say that." said the second lieutenant.  "Since this is a lone army, there is no need for us to think about encircling the point for reinforcements. Order the troops. Surround Wafangdian and launch an all-out attack. We must capture it before dawn!" Niu Erzhu immediately ordered and did not forget to tell him.  : "That's right. Your reconnaissance platoon should also monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in the direction of Pulandian at all times. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!" "Yes!" The second lieutenant officer stood up and saluted, then got on his motorcycle and turned around to leave.     soon.  The other two infantry battalions and the troops directly under the regiment detoured back toFrom the other direction, Wafangdian is surrounded on all sides.  Sieges were launched one after another.  Other units of the tank regiment also entered the battle, and the intensive and fierce firepower almost turned the entire Wafangdian into a sea of ??flames.  In an ordinary house in the town, there is the garrison headquarters of the Japanese army.  Commander Qiufeng Aoki Colonel was pacing back and forth anxiously, holding his saber.  Suddenly, an unkempt Japanese Major ran in with a panicked expression.  When he saw Colonel Qiu Feng, he said without even saluting: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the Chinese army's offensive is too fierce and we cannot resist it. Please break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!" Colonel Qiu Feng's frowned brows furrowed even more when he heard this, and his steps  He walked back and forth and pondered for a while, and then made a decisive decision: "Order the troops to concentrate their firepower to break through to the southeast!" "Hai!" The Japanese Major lowered his head suddenly and responded, turned around and took the order and walked away quickly.  Qiu Feng pulled out his tortoise box, walked out of the headquarters, and shouted sternly: "Garrison squadron, assemble immediately!" Not long after, nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers quickly assembled.  Colonel Qiufeng held a gun in one hand and pulled out his official sword with the other hand, pointing forward: "Open the way!" "Assistant commander, the Japs in the town have begun to break out. They are heading southeast, and the firepower is fierce. The 4th Company is trying its best to block the attack.  "A communications soldier panted and ran to Niu Erzhu and reported to him.  "Want to run away? It's not that easy." Niu Erzhu paused and suddenly smiled slyly: "Order the 4th Company to let the Japs out. The 3rd Tank Battalion will be ready to kill the Japs in the wild after they leave the town." "Yes!"  The signal soldier saluted with a snap and ordered to leave.  Looking back at Qiufeng Aoki, an old Japanese soldier, he led a force with his own bodyguard as the backbone and organized a considerable firepower assault toward the southeast in an attempt to break through to Pulandian.  However, they were met with fierce firepower from an infantry company and several tanks of the Northeastern New Army.  Although the Japs had the numerical advantage, they did not have much advantage in terms of firepower.  The two sides were locked in a bitter battle, and Colonel Qiu Feng was waving his command sword in a hurry to order his men to attack. Suddenly, the firepower of the Chinese ** team on the opposite side exploded.  Gradually become weaker.  Until finally, his guard captain ran over to him excitedly and reported: "Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese army has been repulsed and can break through." Colonel Qiu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded happily: "Yo Xi, hurry up and break out of the encirclement.  !" Hundreds of Japanese soldiers immediately rushed out of the town from the breach.  The Japanese who were still resisting in other directions also retreated here after hearing the news.  In the end, the New Army in Northeast China deliberately put it under water.  More than a thousand Japanese soldiers broke out from the southeast of the town.  However, before Colonel Qiu Feng and his subordinates arrived, they were thankful for their luck in breaking out of the encirclement.  A tank unit suddenly appeared in front of them like a ghost.  Dozens of tank-mounted machine guns fired in vain, and dazzling tongues of flame roared out.  The dense bullets immediately knocked the Japanese soldiers to the ground in pieces.  Colonel Qiu Feng was horrified when he saw this. He waved his command sword angrily and shouted: "Assault assault, kill all the damn Chinese people!" Hundreds of Japanese soldiers carried rifles and charged forward.  What greeted them was a crossfire network of dozens of machine guns.  Soon, a muffled sound was heard, and high-explosive bombs flew toward Colonel Qiufeng with dazzling firelight.  Colonel Qiu Feng had a look of horror on his face. Before he could react, a high-explosive bomb crashed down with a scorching and dazzling flame.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise.  A flash of fire suddenly appeared, and Colonel Qiu Feng and the two guards around him were wiped out in ashes.  Not long after, Niu Erzhu commanded the main force to come up from behind.  Under attack from two sides, the remaining thousand or so Japanese soldiers were wiped out in less than half an hour. ?? **The 1st Regiment achieved victory by annihilating 3,000 Japanese troops at a slight cost of casualties, and captured the advanced base of Wafangdian.  When the fighting ended, it was already past four in the morning.  At the same time, the Northeast New Army's 2nd and 3rd Divisions had joined the main force of Huang Xiansheng's 1st Division. The three and 5th divisions, together with the two divisions of the Armored Group Army, with nearly 70,000 people, were heading towards Wafangdian along the railway line.  .  ………………………………………… Dalian.  Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "General, do you think this is a little too crazy? General Hisashikari Taka actually wants to counterattack the camp entrance?" Hashimoto Toranosuke said with a surprised look on his face.  Muto Nobuyoshi was also surprised. If he hadn't known Hishikari Taka for a long time, he even thought that Hishikari Takashi was crazy?  Only Ishihara smiled and pondered for a moment.  ToneHe said excitedly: "No, this seems crazy, but it is actually a very wise decision. If this action can succeed, then we will very likely turn defeat into victory!" Ishihara Wanji became more and more excited as he talked. He was already worried about the situation on the peninsula.  He was in despair.  At this moment, hope seems to be rising again.  However, what puzzles him is that such a clever combat operation was really thought up by that old devil Hisashikari Taka?  "Turn defeat into victory?" Muto Nobuyoshi couldn't believe it. Hata Shunroku's army of 200,000 soldiers broke their swords and fell into the sand to defeat Shenyang. Now with 40,000 reinforcements, the total force is less than 150,000. How could they turn defeat into victory?  "General, please do not hesitate. Immediately execute General Hishikari Taka's order and fully cooperate with their operation!" Ishihara Wanji did not explain too much. Now the Kwantung Army's commander is Hishikari Taka.  There is absolutely no need for him to explain to Muto Nobuyoshi, a boring gourd. He does not need to understand, because he is no longer a decision-maker, but a bystander.  ps: My back is sore and my legs are aching, and my cervical spine is even more painful.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 26: Yingkou is Fallen

    At five o'clock in the morning, the sky in Yingkou City was gray, as if the end of the world was coming.  <－》 Most of the citizens in the city who left their homes and fled because of the war have returned.  They have returned to their home, where they are rooted, because the Chinese army, which can also be said to be the Northeastern people’s own soldiers, is back.  Yingkou City is no longer a subjugated city lingering under the iron heel of the Japanese. Like the nearly 200,000 local residents in the city, it has returned to the embrace of the motherland.  Chinese people are hard-working. At five o'clock in the morning, although it is still dark, some fishermen have already gotten up early to prepare for a new day of work.  Spiritual Domain Although there used to be Japanese warships everywhere on the sea, and they might be used as targets and sunk if they were not good at all, but life has to go on, right?  Fishermen depend on fishing for a living. If they don’t get into the water, a whole family may freeze to death or starve to death.  However, it’s better now. The New Northeastern Army came over and bombarded the Japanese army. Even the Japanese ships that used to cruise on the sea to show off their power have disappeared.  The Bohai Bay, which is rich in fish resources, can finally be used by fishermen to cast their nets as they please.  But is this really the case?  If a country does not have a navy, is its coastal defense really safe?  Li Quanqiang is a famous fish boss in Yingkou City. He has several fishing boats that are not too small. When the Japanese were here, half of the harvest from his fishing boats was taken away by the Japanese.  “After being exploited by those traitor lackeys, there won’t be much left.  "However, things are getting better now, the Japanese have been beaten away, and the good days of Li Quanqiang, the fish boss, are about to come.  “At least that’s what he and his employees think.  Today, Li Quanqiang said goodbye to his wife and children, and personally launched three ships into the water. It is likely that he will not return unless the harvest is good.  Although Dalian has not been defeated yet, is it not a matter of time for the brave and invincible Northeastern New Army?  Ordinary people think so, let alone the Northeastern New Army, which has always been victorious in every battle.  Since the Battle of Tongliao.  They conquered Northern Manchuria and marched southward to Southern Manchuria. They wrote a legend in the history of modern war with their brilliant achievements, and it is their legend.  Zhang Xinghan may be able to control himself not to be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, but he cannot make hundreds of thousands of his subordinates be like him.  ??Especially the hundreds of thousands of them who are excited.  No one is not proud of their victory.  Feel your blood boiling.  The Japanese are about to be finished, and the entire Northeast and the entire Liaodong Peninsula will be recovered.  The minds of all the officers, soldiers and generals of the Northeast New Army are filled with this idea.  The main forces rushed towards Dalian, and Wang Yizhe of Yingkou only left less than one regiment of troops.  To be precise, two battalions.  With less than 2,000 troops defending a city with a population of 200,000, the density of troops can be imagined.  Spiritual Realm Since this is already the rear area, the officers and soldiers are much less vigilant.  They are short of troops.  No troops were deployed outside the city. Occasionally some security forces were deployed, the number of which did not exceed a few infantry squads.  For a long time, under the command of Zhang Xinghan, the Northeast New Army, with the advantages of absolute air firepower, ground assault power, and technical weapons and single soldiers, to destroy the Japanese army like a tank.  The Japanese army has suffered repeated defeats and has become a weak force that is vulnerable to a single blow.  ??In fact.  The first three commanders of the Kwantung Army were indeed not very good at tactical command and strategic vision, and they were more than capable of bullying the Northeastern Army, which was even worse than them.  But when they met Zhang Xinghan, a time traveler with knowledge that was nearly a century ahead of him, their only end was a bloody blow to their head.&#x3002; Zhang Xinghan already knows how much his opponent has.  If there is no number one figure like Okamura Neji.  The Northeastern New Army carried out a step-by-step offensive, taking Dalian and breaking through the Lushun Fortress seemed to be a matter of course.  But war is always full of unpredictability.  Zhang Xinghan is a human being, not a god.  Even if he is a good commander, he will only do so after danger or problem arises.  Go figure out a solution.  Rather than being powerful enough to predict what the enemy will do next, only a person like Zhuge Liang can predict the future.  In fact, Zhuge Liang couldn't predict the future, otherwise he wouldn't be as tired as a dog from the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains more than a dozen times.  It must be said that the old devil Okamura Neiji is very shrewd and cunning. The few hours of darkness provided an excellent cover for their landing.  This allows them to easily approach the camp entrance without being discovered by the Northeast New Army Air Force reconnaissance aircraft.  Li Quanqiang and his three fishing boats started working not long after they were launched into the water.  Today’s Bohai Bay can be said to be full of treasures. If you go online, you will almost never come back empty-handed. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of nowhere.  Suddenly some black spots appeared on the sea level. At first, they did not notice these black spots because the sky was not completely bright yet.  And as the sun slowly rose from the horizontal plane, a helmsman finally discovered something unusual.  All the fishermen were alarmed. Li Quanqiang came to the bow of the boat in a panic, looked forward, and saw a scene that shocked him extremely.  Many huge steel objects coming from his small fishing boat were speeding towards them.  "Li Quanqiang and his employees were so horrified that they didn't even care to count how many warships there were.  Spiritual Realm They were all in panic, because there were already countless small boats full of people in front of those big ships, and they were speeding towards them.  "Boss, what should we do? It's the fucking Japanese!" "Yes, boss, let's run, it's the Japanese navy fleet!" A few&#20010;The employee on the same ship as Li Quanqiang said in panic.  Li Quanqiang finally came to his senses and hurriedly urged: "Hurry, turn around, hurry up!" However, as soon as the fishing boats completed their U-turn, a group of Japanese landing craft caught up with them.  "Ta-ta-tata-ta-ta" A dense barrage of bullets swept in.  “Bang bang bang…” Li Quanqiang and three other fishing boats were hit with bang bang. Some sailors were hit by bullets that penetrated the cabins and fell in a pool of blood.  The sailors on the canvas boat were unable to escape the pursuit of the Japanese aircraft and sailboats. Soon, the sailors on the three ships were massacred by intensive rapid-fire firepower.  Li Quanqiang jumped into the sea to escape at the last moment. His fate can be imagined. He was shot in the head by a Japanese rifleman and died in the sea.  Until his death, he could not understand why the Japanese dared to come again?  Aren’t they already defeated by the Northeastern New Army?  Hundreds of small boats carrying the first batch of thousands of Japanese troops quickly headed towards the Yingkou shore.  And dozens of large Japanese warships adjusted their guns one after another.  Hundreds of naval guns of various calibers not less than 200 mm began to bombard the entrance of the camp.  The roaring sound of cannon fire on the sea surface was endless, and large-caliber shells were wrapped in flames and flew parabolically in the air towards Yingkou City, which had just bid farewell to the night and welcomed the dawn.  At the top of the south gate of Yingkou City, a group of Northeastern New Army troops had just completed the changing of the guard, and some soldiers were still yawning.  Bleary-eyed.  A harsh whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky.  The soldiers looked up in surprise and saw a scene that horrified them.  "Get down!!" A second lieutenant platoon leader yelled at the top of his lungs with fear in his eyes, and he quickly threw himself under the wall.  "Boomboomboom" almost before his voice fell.  Large-caliber artillery shells fell hard one after another.  Some shells fell outside the city, some fell inside the city, and some shells fell directly on the city top.  The soldiers on the top of the city suddenly&#24863;I felt the ground shaking, as if the entire city wall was about to collapse.  The billowing heat wave formed by the huge explosion shock wave roared past, and some soldiers who could not avoid it were directly lifted up.  Screaming and falling down the city.  Some soldiers who were too close to the explosion point were directly swallowed by the explosion, leaving no bones left.  A heavy artillery shell with a caliber of no less than 240 mm landed at the top of the city, directly blowing up a section of the city wall. Masonry and earth debris flew everywhere, and dazzling fire shot into the sky.  The dozen or so Northeastern New Army troops on that section of the city wall instantly vanished into thin air.  A piercing siren soon sounded in the city, and a large number of Northeastern New Army troops got busy in panic.  The defenders immediately reported the situation to the headquarters in Haicheng.  At this time, thousands of Japanese troops have landed on the coast, rushing like a tide towards Yingkou City, which is being covered by their artillery fire.  After the first round of test firing.  The Japanese's shelling became more and more precise, and all the shells began to pour into Yingkou City.  Most of the city was turned into a sea of ??flames, and countless people were massacred by the explosion.  The entire Yingkou City fell into extreme chaos. The city could not stay still at all. All the new Northeastern troops who came up were killed by the fierce firepower of the Japanese naval gun group.  Thousands of Japanese infantrymen carried rifles.  The machine guns arrived at Yingkou City as quickly as possible. Instead of rushing to attack the city, they divided their forces and surrounded Yingkou City in a roundabout way.  After the naval gun group completed the forty-minute fierce bombardment.  The second batch of Japanese landing troops has already joined the first batch of troops, and the third and fourth batches are still landing continuously.  Nearly 10,000 Japanese troops were already in chaos.  Yingkou City, which suffered heavy casualties, launched a fierce attack.  With less than 2,000 defenders, more than half had already been killed or wounded. The disparity in strength was too great. It was easy to know the outcome of such a fierce battle without even thinking about it.  …………………………… In Haicheng, Zhang Xinghan placed the message in his hand on the table with a solemn expression.  &nbsp; The message was the last one sent by the Yingkou garrison. All members of the two independent infantry battalions of the Yingkou 2nd Division and the 1st Division were killed, and no one surrendered.  The guard battalion commander Guo Zhong behind him said with a sad face: "Commander, I just received the news that after the Japanese entered the city, they launched an inhumane massacre. Hundreds of thousands of Yingkou people were slaughtered to death!" Zhang Xinghan clenched his fists tightly, hand on hand.  A vein popped out, and he punched the conference table: "These beasts!" "Commander, after the Japs massacred the city, they have cut off the connection between our attacking troops and Haicheng. What should we do next?" Guo Zhong asked.  "Call to the Chief of Staff that the 10th and 9th Independent Divisions will immediately go south to Haicheng. The 4th Independent Division of Jinzhou will immediately prepare for war. In addition, the Air Force will be ordered to immediately take off all fighter planes and bomb Yingkou City fiercely to kill these gangs.  You son of a bitch!” (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 227: Showdown

    Yingkou City has turned into a Shura hell city, with broken walls and ruins destroyed by artillery fire everywhere.  There are more corpses that can be seen everywhere, including men and women, old and young, with different appearances.  At the same time, on the sea about a hundred miles away from Yingkou.  The huge Japanese fleet is moving towards the East China Sea at full speed.  On a heavy cruiser, Hisashikari Takashi, Chief of Staff Kuniaki Oiso, and Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura Neiji were chatting on the deck.  At this time, a Japanese communications adjutant ran out of the cabin, put his feet back and stood at attention and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, there is an urgent call from Yingkou. The China Army has dispatched a large number of air forces to carry out violent bombing of our military units in Yingkou."  The leader signaled the communications adjutant to leave. Koiso Kuniaki on the side looked at Neiji Okamura with some dissatisfaction: "I am not opposed to this massacre, but this will only attract crazy revenge from China." Neiji Okamura smiled.  Without arguing, Hisashikari Taka asked doubtfully: "Okamura-kun, can you tell me why you must let the landing troops massacre the city?" Okamura Neji looked at the distant horizon and said seriously: "For the sake of the imperial army.  Combat power." "Nani?" Hisashi Karitaka and Koiso Kuniaki looked at each other in confusion.  "Most of our 40,000 reinforcements are newly recruited reservists. Although they have undergone systematic professional training, they have never really been on the battlefield, let alone fought and seen blood.  The best way to increase the combat effectiveness of an army is to kill. By massacring hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Yingkou City, the 40,000 imperial troops can quickly become bloodthirsty and cruel, thus making them stronger. Only those who have seen it can do so.  After the bloody battle, they can better become a killing machine and persevere in the next bloody battle," Okamura Neiji explained.  Hishikari Taka nodded with deep approval: "It seems that Okamura-kun is quite accomplished in the way of commanding troops. He is really formidable to future generations." Even Koiso Kuniaki had to admit that Okamura Neji's trick was indeed good.  Gao Ming, and only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the 40,000 imperial army be increased as quickly as possible. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Otherwise, they will be vulnerable.  "General, you are overly praised." Okamura Neiji bowed his head humbly, and immediately said: "General, you can order the fleet to stop evacuation." "Stop evacuation? This is less than 200 nautical miles from Yingkou." Hishikari Taka said in surprise.  "General, the main attention of China's air force will be on the 40,000 reinforcements of the imperial army in Yingkou City. They can't take care of us, so it's safe enough here. In the next battle, Bai Yao will be the emperor's  At the most difficult time for the army to hold on, as long as the Chinese air force survives Bai Yao and is unable to take off, our naval fleet can approach the camp entrance, provide them with artillery support, and regain the positions lost during Bai Yao." explained Okamura Neiji.  "But Okamura-kun, have you ever thought about it. The 40,000 imperial troops in Yingkou will be attacked from two sides by the Chinese army. Can they withstand it?" Hisashi Karutaka said worriedly.  "Don't worry, General. At this time, the Chinese Army does not have much strength in Haicheng and Liaoyang. It will take time for reinforcements from the Shenyang direction to arrive. In this way, only one division from the Jinzhou direction can pose a threat to the imperial army in a short time. The main force of the Chinese Army has already crossed over.  Wafangdian is confronting the main force of the imperial army in the Pulandian area. If they want to return to Yingkou, the main force of the imperial army can take advantage of the situation and pursue them. Therefore, including today and Baiyao, we have at least two days to build a defensive line.  , This is enough for the 40,000 Imperial Army." Okamura Neiji paused, and then said: "General, the most important thing in this battle is whether the 100,000 main force of the Imperial Army can be eliminated before the Chinese army breaks through at the entrance of the camp.  The main force of the Chinese army attacking Pulandian, so I suggest that the general immediately land in Dalian, formally take over the command of the Kwantung Army, and personally command the 100,000 imperial troops in the Dalian area! " "Yes" Hisashi Karutaka nodded without objection.  ??……………Haicheng, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast New Army has been busy.  The radio station in the telecommunications room kept ringing, and from time to time communications soldiers shuttled back and forth between the war room and the communications room.  "Commander, the Air Force has carried out two air strikes on Yingkou. However, according to Division Commander Gao's report, the Japanese troops have been prepared for a long time, and the air strikes have little effect. The retreat route of Duli's 1st, 2nd, 3rd Division and armored forces has been cut off.  What should we do now?" Guo Zhongdao, commander of the Jingwei Battalion.  Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but stared at the map. If the three divisions that came out were to withdraw at this point, they would have to cross Qianshan Mountains. In this way, all baggage, tanks and armored vehicles would be abandoned.  This is too costly for the Northeastern New Army. Zhang Xinghan cannot take this step unless it is a last resort.  In this way,The only thing left to do is to return the same way, attack the entrance of the camp, and open up communication with the rear.  Although there is danger in doing so, it is nothing compared to the price paid by abandoning all baggage vehicles and tanks and armored vehicles.  Having made up his mind, Zhang Xinghan immediately said to Guo Zhong: "Immediately send Huang Xiansheng and others to power up. The Duli 2nd and 3rd Divisions will immediately launch defenses on the spot. The Armored Group Army will leave one division to assist, and the rest will immediately counterattack Yingkou with the 1st Division to cooperate with the Jinzhou Duli Division."  The 4th Division and the 9th and 10th Divisions of Shenyang Duli attacked the Japanese Army in Yingkou. This battle is the most critical battle in the Liaodong Peninsula. All troops must fight to the death and fight to the death with the Japanese Army. " "Yes!"  He stood up and responded, turning around and walking towards the telecommunications room.  ???……………While the troops on both sides were actively mobilizing, Hishikari Taka, together with Okamura Neji and Koiso Kuniaki, arrived at the Kwantung Army headquarters at Dalian Lushun Fortress.  "Welcome General Hishi!" The welcoming team headed by Hashimoto Toranosuke stood up and saluted.  "Chief of Staff Hashimoto, where is General Muto?" Hisashikari Takashi looked a little unhappy when he saw that Muto Nobuyoshi did not come to greet him in person.  "General Muto is organizing a banquet for the generals to welcome the generals and wash away their dust." Hashimoto Toranosuke replied respectfully.  Hishikari Taka coldly snorted: "When the war situation in Manchuria is in crisis, as an imperial official, are you still thinking about having fun?" "Hashimoto-kun, you can go back to your country and rest." Hishikari Taka's eyes were full of disdain and coldness.  vocal channel.  Hashimoto Toranosuke's face suddenly became livid with anger, and he had to lower his head and say: "Hai!" Originally, Muto Nobuyoshi wanted to entertain an old classmate, Shimohishi Karitaka, so that he could resign with more dignity.  But he didn’t expect that Hisashikari Taka would not give him any face at all and kicked him and Hashimoto Toranosuke out of the house.  But the situation was over, Nobuyoshi Muto had no choice but to angrily leave the Kwantung Army headquarters with Hashimoto Toranosuke and some guards.  We boarded a few warships and embarked on the road back home in despair.  And Kanji Ishihara, who has served as the staff officer of the new headquarters three times, unexpectedly stayed again this time.  The person who kept him here was none other than the new deputy chief of staff, Okamura Neiji.  Hisashikari Taka now relies heavily on Okamura Neiji, and Ishihara Kanji is one of the planners of the September 18th Incident, so he doesn't pay much attention to letting things go.  "Your Excellency General, according to the latest intelligence from the front line of Pulandian, the Chinese army confronting them is resting and reorganizing their defenses, and some others seem to be preparing to counterattack at Yingkou. Without further ado, order the troops to attack as soon as possible!" It has changed hands!  In the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, Okamura Neji pointed at the map and said to Hishikari Takashi.  Hisashi Karutaka nodded and said solemnly: "Immediately order in the name of the Kwantung Army Headquarters that the 1st Division, 2nd Division and other units immediately launch an attack on Wafangdian, taking advantage of the unsteady foothold of China to attack China in one fell swoop.  "Defeat!" "Hai!" an adjutant behind him suddenly lowered his head and turned around to take the order and leave.  ………………………Wafangdian.  The officers and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Duli Divisions are digging earth to repair the ring defenses with Wafangdian as the center.  2nd Division Commander Zhao Zhenfan is discussing military situation with 3rd Division Commander Wang Yizhe at the temporary headquarters in Wafangdian Town.  A three-wheeled motorcycle roared from the south and sped to the outside of the small courtyard of the headquarters. A second lieutenant jumped off and ran straight into the courtyard.  "Reporting to the division commander, Commander Wang, the Japs from Pulandian are out!" The second lieutenant officer came to the headquarters and stood up to salute.  "Huh? How many Japs are there?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "It's less than a hundred thousand, the humble scout platoon has been counting carefully for a long time, and there is an endless line!" the second lieutenant officer said with a little breath.  Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe's expressions paled, "Guoping, it seems that the little devils are out in force this time!" Wang Yizhe said.  Zhao Zhenfan nodded solemnly: "Yes, we will counterattack the camp entrance. The Japanese will definitely destroy us before the camp entrance is captured. Now it depends on who can hold on longer and attack faster!" "Wuthering Air Force support, order.  Each regiment immediately prepared to fight. Even if we fight to the last one, we can't let a little Japs pass by!" Wang Yizhe said immediately.  "Well!" Zhao Zhenfan nodded, and immediately shouted: "The messenger" …………… Yingkou City, the Japanese army built several lines of defense in the west, north and south directions of Yingkou, in order to  Resist the Northeast New Army's attacks from the direction of Haicheng, Jinzhou and Gaizhou.  ?The west line is mainly designed based on the Daliao River, connecting to the north defense line of the city to the north, relying on both sides of the Dashiqiao railway line and Yingkou City as the center.  The southern line of defense relies onThere is a semicircular defense line from the Daqing River south of the entrance to the Dashiqiao railway line.  The deployment of the Japanese army was personally planned by Neji Okamura, with the semicircle from Dashiqiao Station to Daqing River as the main defense area.  The Daliao River on the west side is the secondary defense area. Okamura Neiji is very clear that the only real threats to Yingkou are the Northeastern New Army heading south from Shenyang and returning north from Gaizhou.  It is the spring season. Although the spring in the Northeast is not as warm as in the South, it also bids farewell to the severe cold of winter, which makes it much easier and faster for the Japanese army to build fortifications.

    South of Shenyang City.  Since the Sujiatun Railway Bridge has not yet been repaired, the 9th and 10th duli divisions stationed in Shenyang had to cross the river with the help of bridge-building tanks.  After crossing the river, take the train south to Yingkou at Sujiatun Railway Station.  The Duli 10th Division suffered heavy losses in the previous Shenyang battle, especially Ge Quanwu's regiment, which suffered almost all casualties. However, during its stay in Shenyang, the police force in the North Manchuria region has completed the recruitment of troops.  Excluding the necessary troops left behind, the two divisions totaled about 25,000 infantrymen. Most of them took trains, while other troops rode military trucks, armored vehicles and tanks to the vast front line.  At this time, according to Okamura Neiji's suggestion, more than 10,000 Japanese troops entered and suddenly launched a surprise attack from the Dashiqiao area along the railway to the nearby Haicheng.  Although they were well prepared, the remaining troops in Haicheng were limited after all, and the battle was temporarily in trouble.  In Haicheng City, Guo Zhong said to Zhang Xinghan with an anxious look on his face: "Commander, while the train station in the north of the city is still in our hands, you should evacuate as soon as possible. The little devils will besiege the city any later." Zhang Xinghan looked at it with determination.  Map, pointedly said: "It seems that the Japs commander this time is not an ordinary person. He counterattacked the camp entrance unexpectedly. Now he is not afraid of the threat of our air force and takes advantage of the situation to advance north. His strategic vision and tactical command ability are really not good."  "General." Guo Zhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and said: "Commander, what time is it? Don't worry about who the commander of the little devils is. They must be coming for you, so,  You'd better retreat as soon as possible." "You came for me?" Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly: "The Japanese don't know that our front office is in Haicheng, let alone that I am in Haicheng. Otherwise, there will be more people coming to attack.  There are three regiments, and they should be in full force." Guo Zhong nodded silently. Indeed, if Japan knew that Zhang Xinghan, who was the soul of the Northeast New Army, was in Haicheng County.  ?Then they should immediately abandon the Yingkou defense line, go out in full force, and capture Haicheng in one fell swoop.  Killing Zhang Xinghan by a thousand is far more valuable than destroying two or three divisions of the Northeastern New Army.  "This is indeed the case. If Okamura Neji and Hishikari Takashi knew that Zhang Xinghan was in Haicheng, they would raze Haicheng to the ground at all costs.  Even if it takes 40,000 Japanese troops, he won’t hesitate.  Boom, boom, the sound of cannons outside the city was faintly heard, and it seemed that the ground beneath my feet was shaking.  Zhang Xinghan stood up from the map, walked out of the war room with a helmet in one hand and a telescope in the other.  Guo Zhong quickly followed.  In addition to the war room, Zhang Xinghan went directly to the roof of the headquarters from the spiral staircase next to it.  Standing on the roof with a telescope and looking at the battlefield where the war was raging and the sound of gunfire and cannons was roaring, Zhang Xinghan asked calmly: "How many troops do we have left now?"  To three thousand," Guo Zhong replied.  "The reinforcements from Jinzhou and Gaizhou will definitely not be able to get through. Where are the Duli 9th and 10th Divisions in Shenyang? Where are they?" Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope and said.  "I have sent an emergency call to the reinforcements. The two division commanders Gao Chu and Du Ting replied that they have just passed Sujiatun and are still more than two hundred miles away from Haicheng. The armored troops must march at full speed without stopping.  Ten hours, but they said they would arrive as soon as possible this morning." Guo Zhongdao.  "10 hours?" Zhang Xinghan looked back at Guo Zhong and said: "A regiment of troops must hold on for ten hours. If you can't do it, then I will personally take command." Guo Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and was embarrassed.  He said: "Commander, the strength of one regiment to defend the entire county is really stretched, and many of these soldiers are wounded soldiers who were transported from the front and had no time to be transferred to the rear." "If the city walls cannot be defended, retreat to the city and let the Japanese into the city.  , ten hours, the little devil wants to annihilate us and take Haicheng? Just have a fucking dream," Zhang Xinghan said.  "But, Commander, I believe that you should evacuate from the north of the city while the Chengbei Railway Station is still in our hands. This is the safest option!" Guo Zhong continued to advise.  "Okay, don't persuade me anymore. If Haicheng is lost, the Japanese can use it as a stronghold to form an angle with Yingkou. It is much stronger than the defense line they established at Dashiqiao Station. If I withdraw.  Haicheng will probably not be able to hold it anymore. If the order goes down, I, Zhang Xinghan, will never leave my soldiers to escape alone, and I swear to live and die with Haicheng and all my brothers!" Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to stop Guo Zhong and said seriously.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's firm attitude, Guo Zhong immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes! Please defend the commander's line. I and all the officers and men swear to live and die with Haicheng! Defend the commander to the death!" After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order,Zhongzhong immediately commanded the troops to abandon the city wall defense line, including the Chengbei Railway Station, which was desperately guarded.  That was Guo Zhong’s last resort to evacuate Zhang Xinghan at all costs. Now that Zhang Xinghan is determined not to evacuate, there is no need to fight with the Japanese invaders and waste precious troops.  More than two thousand officers and soldiers gradually withdrew into the city and continued to resist tenaciously relying on the buildings in the city.  In the north area of ????the city, about dozens of Northeastern New Army troops withdrew from the city gate in a panic.  “Bang, bang, bang, bang…” A burst of gunfire sounded behind them, and then a group of Japanese soldiers pursued them into the city with guns in hand.  The reason why these dozens of new officers and soldiers entered the city last was because they were ordered to stay behind and cover the main force's retreat from the station into the city.  After all the main forces entered the city, they broke out of the siege and rushed back into the city under the leadership of company commander Zhou Pingyuan.  The angry Japanese army immediately followed and pursued, and this was the scene just now.  After retreating into the city, Zhou Pingyuan and dozens of remaining soldiers were immediately supported by the main force that retreated into the city first, and disappeared into the city along the alley.  The first people to enter the city from the north gate were the Japanese who were chasing Zhou Pingyuan and others. Their strength was about a squadron.  After entering the city, facing the large and small buildings in front of them, the Japanese all increased their vigilance and slowed down their advance, instead advancing slowly in groups of three.  The Japanese squadron leader was holding a tortoise box in one hand and his command knife in the other, carefully following among the troops.  Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and a rifle bullet flew out of nowhere and hit a Japanese sergeant with a small plaster flag hanging on his bayonet.  The Japanese soldier Cao was shot in the chest and fell on the spot.  The other Japanese soldiers were shocked and looked around with their guns drawn, extremely wary.  After advancing a few meters, cold gunfire started again, and another Jaap fell down in response, but this time the Jaap squadron leader who had been prepared discovered the source of the gunfire.  Immediately he raised his pistol and fired while shouting: "Where is it, shoot!" More than a hundred Japanese soldiers opened fire immediately, and the dense bullets hit the cold gun hiding place where soil and debris flew, and the fire suddenly broke out.  After several consecutive rounds of volley fire, there was no more movement from the cold gun, and the Japanese squadron leader waved his hand to stop the fire.  At this time, gunshots rang out vaguely from other directions in Haicheng. Compared with other directions, the Japanese army, which had been fighting at the railway station in the north of the city, was the latest to enter the city.  Two Japanese soldiers were ordered to hold their guns and go to the left and right to find the cold gun hiding place.  It was a private house near the street, and the bullet was fired from the seemingly sealed window.  Two Japanese soldiers came up to them. They put their guns on alert, quickly unhooked a melon grenade, pulled the safety catch, knocked it on their helmets, and threw it through the window.  There was an explosion in the window, red light filled the whole room, and then thick smoke filled the air "Open the way!" Upon seeing this, the Japanese squadron leader waved his hand with confidence.  The Japanese soldiers advanced again, but this time before they had just entered the street fifty meters, hundreds of grenades suddenly flew out of the seemingly empty houses and shops on both sides of the street.  “Swish, swish, smoky grenades flew down like devils into the crowd.  "Boomboomboom" A series of violent explosions occurred.  The raging shrapnel immediately knocked down the Japanese in pieces, causing them to cry for their parents and run around.  "Get down! Get down!" the Japanese squadron leader shouted in a panic.  But before the smoke cleared, black muzzles fired in vain from both sides of the street.  More than a dozen general-purpose machine guns and hundreds of rifles formed a dense crossfire.  The remaining dozens of people soon fell into a pool of blood one after another.  At the same time, Zhou Pingyuan and his surviving subordinates had arrived at a supplementary resting place.  Dozens of subordinates were sitting in a narrow alley, taking the time to rest.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??A heavy supply of ammunition and food were brought to them early. Two medical soldiers carried medicine boxes and asked one by one if there were any wounded.  Zhou Pingjian stuck his head out and shouted loudly: "We have no wounded soldiers here. The injured ones stayed in the battlefield and died with the little devils. Don't waste your time here. Go to rescue the wounded elsewhere." Two  The medical soldier looked at Zhou Pingyuan, who had a gray face, looked at each other, and left quickly with the medicine box on his back.  Zhou Pingyuan leaned against the wall and said to a soldier who was delivering food to him: "Hey, brother, do you have any cigarettes?" The soldier looked at Zhou Pingyuan, hesitated, and took out half a pack from his trouser pocket.  fragrantHe handed the cigarette to Zhou Pingyuan and said: "That's it, save yourself some smoking!" "It's all for me, you don't want to smoke anymore?" Although Zhou Pingyuan said this, he still took out one and used it with a match.  I lit it up and took a nice puff.  "You guys have been fighting hard in the front, so smoking a cigarette is nothing." The baggage soldier said calmly.  "How is the commander?" Zhou Pingyuan, as the first company commander of the police battalion, suddenly remembered that Zhang Xinghan was still in the city.  "The commander is at the headquarters. He has given the order and will never retreat. He vows to live and die with the entire city's soldiers!" The tone of the baggage soldier was full of awe.  Zhou Pingyuan did not express his position, but smoked a cigarette and asked: "Do you know when the reinforcements will arrive?" "I heard that it will take at least ten hours. Anyway, when Commander Guo just gave the order, he said that the battalions and companies in the city should at least  Hold on for 10 hours!" the baggage soldier thought for a moment.  "10 hours?" Zhou Pingyuan smoked a cigarette, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Don't say 10 hours, even 20 hours, the little devils can't even think of annihilating us all!" Hearing the loud gunshots from the direction of the city gate.  , Zhou Pingyuan took two quick puffs, flicked the cigarette butt out, stood up and shouted at the top of his voice to dozens of subordinates: "You bastards, hurry up, the commander is right behind us, it's all him  Mother, show me your skills and make it difficult for the little devil to move forward!"

    Dashiqiao, the headquarters of the Japanese 114th Division.  This time the Japanese reinforcements of 40,000 were mainly composed of two ad hoc divisions, the 114th and the 106th.  These two divisions are respectively formed based on the left-behind reserve soldiers of the 14th and 6th Divisions.  The 114th Division is responsible for the defense line directly north of Dashiqiao, and serves as an attack force to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Haicheng.  The current commander of the 114th Division is Lieutenant General Nakashimamura. It has two brigades and four main infantry regiments. In addition, there are four regiments directly under the division headquarters: baggage, artillery, and cavalry engineers.  As well as directly affiliated teams such as the field hospital communications team.  The total force is about 20,000. Zhongdao Village has already conducted reconnaissance on Haicheng, a small county town with empty defenses, and knows that there are less than 3,000 defenders in the city.  Immediately mobilized the 127th Division and other units, about 10,000 people went out of Dashiqiao and launched an attack on Haicheng, but they encountered stubborn resistance from the New Army in the Northeast of Haicheng.  The progress of the battle was slower than the division commander Nakashimamura expected.  In the division headquarters, Nakashimamura frowned and looked particularly solemn.  "Your Excellency, General, the attack of the 127th Brigade encountered great resistance. The Chinese Army relied on residential buildings in the city to resist desperately, and the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses." Chief of Staff Shao Tianfan put down the phone and walked over.  Upon hearing this, Zhongdao Village turned around and asked: "Where are the Chinese troops in the Shenyang area now?" "According to the reports from the scouts we sent, the Chinese reinforcements are almost in full force. They have already passed the lighthouse and are along the railway line.  Move forward quickly, we expect to arrive in ** hours at the latest," Shao Tianfan replied.  "** hours?" Upon hearing this, the solemnity on Nakashima Cun's face invisibly increased, and he continued to ask: "Chief of Staff, do you think we can take Haicheng within eight hours?" Shaotian  Fan lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Now we have no air force support. The follow-up troops outside the city must always be vigilant to guard against air attacks and bombings by the China Army, especially the artillery troops. It is impossible to calmly display our true strength.  "If this continues, we won't be able to capture Haicheng before the Chinese reinforcements arrive, but" "But what?" Nakashimamura asked with a raised eyebrow.  Shao Tianfan looked at his watch, raised his head and said: "General, it is already two o'clock in the afternoon, six o'clock at the latest, which is four hours later. It will be dark, and the Chinese air force will not be able to take off to join the war.  "Then the imperial army will be able to launch an all-out attack. In other words, the most critical thing about whether we can capture Haicheng is four hours after six o'clock." "Four hours? Before ten o'clock in the evening?" Nakajima.  The village was thoughtful.  Shao Tianfan nodded.  After pondering for a moment, Zhongdao Village said to Shao Tianfan: "Chief of Staff. In the name of the division headquarters, I sent a telegram to the 127th Brigade to take Haicheng before ten o'clock in the evening. I also informed that after six o'clock, the artillery regiment would  I can help him with all my strength." "Hai!" Shao Tianfan suddenly lowered his head and said, holding the saber in one hand and walking towards the phone in two steps.  ???…………………In Haicheng City.  The sound of gunfire was urgent, and fierce gunfire rang out from time to time in a residential house in Beicheng District.  It echoed throughout the residential area and seemed particularly harsh.  On the roof of a private house, Zhou Pingyuan and several of his men had just climbed onto the roof. On several private houses opposite them, other officers and soldiers also climbed onto the roof as promised.  Zhou Pingyuan and several of his subordinates carefully came to the edge of the roof carrying Garand rifles and submachine guns.  Below is an alley about two or three meters wide. When I looked around, I saw about four or five Japanese soldiers carrying 38 rifles and cautiously entering the alley.  "Grenade!" Zhou Pingyuan turned around and whispered, and several soldiers immediately took out a German wooden handle grenade.  He skillfully unscrewed the back cover and placed his fingers on the iron ring of the fuse, trying to pull it.  Zhou Pingyuan carefully observed the Japs. He raised his right hand and waved it down in vain after the Japs walked under the house.  Several soldiers behind him immediately fired grenades and easily threw them into the alley.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several explosions sounded in the alley, followed by the miserable howls of several Japanese soldiers.     soon.  Thick smoke of gunpowder rose slowly from the alley.  As a precaution, Zhou Pingyuan took an MP18 submachine gun from a soldier and fired violently into the alley.  It didn’t stop until a thirty-round magazine was empty. No longer caring about whether the Japanese in the alley survived, Zhou Pingyuan immediately took the lead and stood up.  The cat moved on its waist.  Just as they were moving, chaotic and dense gunshots and explosions also rang out from several alleys on the opposite side.  As soon as we got off the house, several Japanese soldiers who came after hearing the news appeared at the entrance of another alley.  Zhou Pingyuan raised his Garand rifle and fired repeatedly,Hot bullets flew towards the Japanese one after another.  Two Japanese soldiers who were unable to evade were shot and fell down one after another, and the other Japanese soldiers quickly retreated.  The bullet hit the brick wall and scattered gravel.  Taking advantage of this gap, several other soldiers jumped down from the roof one after another, spread out, leaned against the corner, squatted or stood and started shooting at the Japanese.  The crossfire of several Garand rifles and flower traps was so fast and fierce that the Japanese were unable to fight back.  Several Japanese soldiers relied on the corner of the wall to fire tenaciously, but when they barely fired, their accuracy was greatly reduced, and the bullets missed the brick wall and hit the rubble.  The two sides exchanged fierce shots for about a few minutes, and Zhou Pingyuan, who had been fighting for a long time, suddenly sensed a hint of danger.  Before he could react, several muffled sounds suddenly sounded from the direction of the Japanese opposite.  Because the distance between the two parties was very close, the muffled sound was not covered up by the gunfire.  Zhou Pingyuan's expression suddenly changed when he heard the sound, and he immediately shouted: "No, it's a grenade, hide it quickly!" It was too late, but then, just as Zhou Pingyuan finished speaking, two small grenades were fired.  It fell down with a whistling sound.  "Boom boom" Two grenades landed on the house where Zhou Pingyuan and the others were hiding. Fortunately, they did not fall directly into the alley, otherwise they would have died on the spot.  The shock wave generated by the explosion set off large pieces of rubble, which fell into the alley with dust.  The helmets of Zhou Pingyuan and the others were hit hard and landed on the backs of their shoulders. They smacked their lips in pain.  "Hurry up!" Zhou Pingyuan took the lead and ran towards the other end of the alley.  Several soldiers quickly followed Zhou Ping away with their guns in hand.  They didn’t go far when the Japanese grenade fired again. This time, the two grenades hit the spot where they were hiding with great accuracy.  Huge flames rose from the ground with the explosion shock wave, covering half of the alley in an instant.  Several soldiers who followed Zhou Pingyuan to the exit on the other side of the alley turned back when they heard the sound.  Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.  “If we had withdrawn a minute or two later, we would have been fucking reduced to pieces this time.  Zhou Pingyuan and several soldiers had just left the alley when they encountered a group of friendly troops who happened to be passing by.  Zhou Pingyuan's eyes lit up and he quickly waved his hand to the leading second lieutenant officer.  The second lieutenant officer hurriedly ran over along the corner of the wall, squatted down and saluted: "Sir, what can I do?" Zhou Pingyuan pointed to the entrance of the alley behind him and said: "Japanese. Where are the Japs with two throwing weapons?"  The grenades are coming through the wall. I see your men are carrying grenades. Can you help your brother to kill these idiots?" "Yes, sir, how dare you disobey your rank?"  The officer responded happily.  Zhou Pingyuan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Brother, which regiment are you from?" The troops staying in Haicheng were very mixed. In addition to Zhang Xinghan's direct guard battalion and part of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division of the **, there were also various troops  of wounded soldiers.  "He's from the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division," the second lieutenant officer replied.  "I am from the security battalion of my headquarters." Zhou Pingyuan introduced himself: "Zhou Pingyuan, commander of the 3rd company of the security battalion." "Li Ziqing, platoon leader of the 9th platoon of the 3rd battalion of the 3rd regiment of the 3rd motorized infantry division." said the second lieutenant officer.  "Platoon leader Li, when the battle is over, Lao Zhou will treat you to a drink!" Zhou Pingyuan changed his tone and said, "The premise is that after the battle, we are all still alive." "Definitely!" Li Ziqing nodded.  "Company Commander, the Japanese seem to be coming!" At this time, a soldier reminded in a low voice.  "Platoon Leader Li, I leave it to you." Zhou Pingyuan pursed his lips and said to Li Ziqing.  Li Ziqing nodded and waved to the two rocket soldiers in his team.  Two rocket soldiers quickly ran over carrying a bazooka.  At this time, the smoke in the alley cleared a little, and with the help of a telescope.  Zhou Pingyuan vaguely saw several Japanese soldiers entering the alley entrance carefully holding rifles.  After making a gesture to Li Ziqing, the soldier behind him carrying a rocket launcher immediately stepped forward, squatted and pointed the rocket launcher at the alley.  "Boom!" There was a sound, and a high-explosive bomb flew towards the alley like an arrow from a string, wrapped in slender hot flames.  "Boom!" With a loud noise, the high-explosive bomb exploded directly at the entrance of the alley, and the four Japanese soldiers were immediately blown into limbs and arms.  Soon, the rocket launcher was loaded.  Fired again, this time, the rocket soldier raised the firing angle slightly.  The high-explosive bomb flew directly out of the alley and hit the opposite wall.  There was a violent explosion.  Hot shrapnel shot all over the sky, and several other Japanese soldiers who followed, including two grenadiers, were unable to dodge and fell into a pool of blood, howling miserably.  "Go!" Zhou Pingyuan waved his hand and rushed in again with his subordinates.??Alley.  As they approached the exit of the alley, two soldiers alertly threw two grenades through the wall.  A Japanese soldier who had not yet expired suddenly became even worse. He was so blown away that he could no longer die.  "Platoon leader Li, thank you very much. We have too many troops. Let's disperse as soon as possible. The Japanese will come back after hearing the news soon." Zhou Pingyuan saluted and thanked Li Ziqing with a smile.  "Okay, sir, take care!" After Li Ziqing saluted back, he and his team quickly disappeared into the crisscrossed residential construction area ahead.  "Da da da" Zhou Pingyuan and others had just finished cleaning the battlefield when a burst of gunfire rang out in vain.  After all, their troops are limited, so the Japanese grenades are still somewhat helpful, especially the grenades, which are as powerful as rocket launchers in street fighting.  Although Zhou Pingyuan's 3rd company had a lot of equipment before the battle, most of it was consumed in the defensive battle outside the city.  Now the troops are dispersed, and it is naturally impossible for several soldiers to have rocket launchers and grenade launchers.  The ones who opened fire this time were a group of Japs armed with crooked machine guns, coming menacingly down the street.  Without Zhou Pingyuan’s reminder, several soldiers who had just finished cleaning the battlefield quickly hid in the alley.  ps: During the day, the entire town in my hometown was without power and water. The power outage lasted from morning to around 8pm, and the water has not yet come. The temperature is over 30 degrees, and the family is going crazy with the heat. The voltage is still unstable.  , even the air conditioner couldn't be turned on, and despite the high temperature in the autumn wind, I finally finished a chapter before 12 o'clock, please don't blame me!

    "Grenade!" Zhou Pingyuan stretched out his gun and pulled the trigger several times. Several rounds of rifle bullets flew away randomly, and he turned to shout to several of his subordinates.  Several soldiers fired the captured melon grenades and the grenades they carried and threw them out with all their strength.  With the explosion, Zhou Pingyuan shouted to his subordinates: "Quick, get on the roof!" After saying that, he put his rifle on his shoulder, leaned his back against a wall, and put his hands together to signal a soldier to watch him climb up the wall.  The soldier understood, and immediately hung the submachine gun in his hand around his neck, trotted to help, and climbed to the roof with the help of Zhou Pingyuan.  “Then Zhou Pingyuan took a few steps away, jogged and jumped. The soldier stretched out his hand and pulled, and both of them successfully climbed onto the roof.  Several other soldiers followed suit, climbed onto the roof, and immediately moved away.  After a group of Japanese soldiers rushed over with guns in hand, they were nowhere to be seen.  Not far along the alley, they were ambushed by Zhou Pingyuan and others, causing heavy casualties.  Small-scale street fighting like this occurred everywhere in the city. Although the Japanese army had the advantage, its artillery units outside the city were unable to provide artillery support because they had no air superiority.  So we had to fight with the Northeastern New Army in the city house by house and alley by alley.  In the street fighting, the Japanese army's superiority in strength could not be exploited. The Northeastern New Army, relying on its familiarity with the terrain and the help of the people in the city, seemed to be able to do so with ease. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and could not advance even an inch.  In the city, the Northeast New Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting in front of the map, smoking a cigarette, frowning, even though he stayed in Haicheng for the sake of the strategic overall situation.  "But Zhang Xinghan couldn't be worried at all because he was in danger. He only had less than one regiment of troops around him.  Whether it can survive is full of unknowns.  At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him. Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the sound and saw a cook from the kitchen walking in carrying a tray.  "Commander, it's time for dinner." The cook came over respectfully.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked outside, and then he realized.  The sky has darkened slightly.  "Is it going to get dark?" Zhang Xinghan looked back at the cook who was placing the food in front of him and asked.  "Commander, it's already past five o'clock. It's getting dark very fast in the Northeast. It will probably be pitch black in less than half an hour." The cook replied subconsciously.  Zhang Xinghan said nothing. He stood up and walked out in a serious mood.  "Commander, you don't want to eat anymore?" the cook asked doubtfully.  “I’m not going to eat, I’ll wait until this battle is over!” Zhang Xinghan just walked out of the room.  A communications soldier came forward.  After saluting, he reported: "Commander, there is a call from the 4th Division of the Jinzhou Army. They have arrived at the Daliao River, but were blocked by the Japanese army. They are currently fighting fiercely with the Japanese." "I understand. Call Liu Jianguo right away and tell him, no matter the cost  Attack the Japanese army's western front in Yingkou to relieve the pressure on Haicheng!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Walking out of the headquarters, the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong hurried over with several guards.  Before the disgraced Guo Zhong could speak, Zhang Xinghan rushed to ask: "Zhongzi, how is the battle situation?" Guo Zhong saluted and said with a little breath: "Commander, the situation is not bad, the Japanese are basically blocked by us, Haicheng San  Two-thirds of the city is still under our control. "Zhang Xinghan felt a little relieved, nodded, and said: "It is getting dark, and the air force is probably about to return. You will inform us immediately, once the Japanese stop attacking.  Retreat, don't attack, spread out as much as possible, and be prepared for Japanese artillery fire." "Artillery attack?" Guo Zhong was a little surprised.  "Yes, didn't you notice? The Japanese only committed infantry attacks throughout the afternoon, and the scale of the only artillery fire did not exceed the squadron level. There was no large-scale artillery bombardment at all. This is because our air force caused extreme damage to their artillery units.  The heavy pressure forced them to attack at all. Now that it was getting dark and the air force threat was gone, the Japanese would definitely send in artillery units to carry out retaliatory firepower to spread out the Japanese artillery fire as much as possible.  Strike and kill," Zhang Xinghan explained.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong immediately stood up and responded, leading several of his subordinates to leave without stopping.  Zhang Xinghan then turned around and walked back to the headquarters.  ………………… In a forest south of the city, as night fell, a large number of torches and vehicle lights appeared in the woods.  There was a huge buzz of people and an unusual amount of noise.  By the light of the fire, you can see that hundreds of Japanese troops are pulling out artillery pieces of different calibers hidden in the woods from their camouflaged bunkers.  ??Hook up the military truck and drive toward the preset artillery position.go.  This is the hiding spot of the 114th Field Artillery Regiment directly under the Japanese 114th Division.  The 114th Artillery Regiment has a total of thirty 70 field guns and eight Type 92 infantry guns.  In a corner of the woods, Lieutenant Colonel Daichi Himei, the current commander of the Artillery Regiment, was sitting on a three-wheeled motorcycle and smoking a cigarette.  Standing next to him were two Japanese soldiers, one of whom had the rank of captain.  "Captain, the damn Chinese air force has finally withdrawn. Now we can show off our skills and help the infantry teach the stubborn Chinese army in the city a lesson." The Japanese captain said attentively.  Ji Jing Dazhi smoked a cigarette and nodded, looking at Haicheng County with a trace of invisible cruelty in his eyes.  At this time, a cavalryman galloped forward on horseback. When he got there, he dismounted and saluted Himei Daichi: "Captain Himei Regiment, I have been ordered by the division commander to inform you that the 114th Field Artillery Regiment must arrive at six o'clock.  Preparations were completed before half an hour, and the bombardment of Haicheng was scheduled for an hour. Regardless of whether Haicheng can be captured before ten o'clock, the Dashiqiao defense line must be withdrawn. "Yo Xi, I understand," Ji Jing Dazhi nodded happily.  Return gift.  After the Japanese cavalry saluted, he got on his horse and drove away.  After the messenger left, Himei Daichi threw away the cigarette butts in his hand and wiped them out with his leather military boots. He raised his head and said, "Linye-kun, you must have heard the division commander's orders, right?" "Yes, captain."  Captain Lin Ye lowered his head and said.  "Then execute the order quickly." Himei Daichi waved his hand.  "Hai!" Captain Lin Ye lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order and left.  At 6:35 pm, the Japanese 114th Artillery Regiment finally completed all preparations for the bombardment.  Following Captain Lin Ye’s order, the Japanese’s thirty-eight 70mm artillery fired one after another.  In an instant, dozens of artillery shells pierced the night sky with extremely dazzling red light in the dark night and crashed towards the dark Haicheng County.  In a private house in the northern district of the city, Zhou Pingyuan and two soldiers were carefully hiding behind a stone trough in the corner of the yard.  This is the stone trough where people feed their cattle, and they are using it as a bunker at the moment.  Because of Zhang Xinghan’s order to evacuate, Zhou Pingyuan hid his other subordinates in several other houses.  There are only two people around.  The three of them leaned against the stone trough.  He was smoking a cigarette one puff at a time.  Suddenly, a harsh whistling sound sounded. The three of them turned around when they heard the sound, and looked up at the invisible night sky. Dozens of dazzling fireballs were flying down rapidly.  "Don't fucking look at it. If you die, your eggs will fall into the sky, and you will die for tens of millions of years. Whether you will be hit by a cannonball depends on your fucking luck." Zhou Pingyuan withdrew his gaze with a cigarette in his mouth.  Although the two soldiers were still frightened, they both knew that Zhou Pingyuan was right.  " If you can be accurately hit by artillery shells during such a large-scale artillery bombardment by the Japanese, it can only be because you are "too lucky".  Generally speaking, the best option for such a bombardment is to find a place to hide.  Running around will only increase the chance of being hit by a cannonball.  The reason why Zhou Pingyuan is so calm is because he knows that if the cannonball unfortunately falls next to them, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to escape the fate of being bombarded to pieces.  So this is also a kind of gambling, but the bet is life.  "Boomboom boomboom" Violent explosions sounded one after another throughout the city.  Then there was thick black smoke and fire rising into the sky, which was so dazzling in the dark night.  In the headquarters compound, Zhang Xinghan stood under the eaves and looked up at the groups of fires rising into the sky.  Guo Zhong hurriedly ran in from outside.  Before saluting, he said: "Commander, there is some danger outside, you'd better go inside." Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Zhongzi, tell me can you tell the caliber of the Japanese artillery?" Guo Zhong listened carefully and was unsure.  He said: "It should be the 70 field artillery group, right?" "Yes, it is the 70mm field artillery." Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked: "Have you forgotten the power of the 70mm artillery shell? If the Japanese can really hit it with a lucky shot, they will fall down.  "I'm standing here, it's no different from the house, right?" Guo Zhong scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look: "But, Commander, the house is a little better, after all, there is a wall to cover it." "Okay, I will.  Are you still worried about my skills? There are real shells falling. I can hide in the house before it explodes." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him.  Said: "Little devil, there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains. Our heavy artillery brigade is not in Haicheng. Otherwise, even one battalion of artillery can blast the little devil's 70mm artillery group into rubbish!" "That's right. Chapter 1  Where are the 9th and 10th divisions now?” “We have passed Liaoyang, and we are still at most 100 meters away from Haicheng.??More than fifty kilometers.  " Guo Zhong replied. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Inform them that we need to speed up the march. The sooner we get there, the better!  In addition, you should pay attention next. With the help of artillery, the enemy's offensive is bound to become much more fierce and swift.  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong stood up and saluted, accepted the order and left. Dalian Port Arthur Fortress, Kwantung Army Headquarters. Okamura Neji walked into Hisashikarari's office with a piece of telegram in his hand, the office  Here, Commander Hishikari Takashi was chatting with Chief of Staff Oiso Kuniaki. Seeing Okamura Neiji come in, Hishikari Takashi raised his head and asked: "Okamura-kun, how is the battle situation in the direction of Yingkou?" "General, the 114th Division is fighting according to our command.  The previous arrangements were made to attack Haicheng. At present, Haicheng has been surrounded and an attack is being organized.  "Okamura Neiji stood up and answered. Nearly two days have passed. The Chinese reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?" Hisashi Karatsu said.  "Yes, the reinforcements from the Jinzhou direction of the Chinese Army have arrived to the west of Yingkou in the afternoon, but they were blocked by the 106th Division on the Daliao River line. The two sides are fighting fiercely. The Chinese Army returning reinforcements from Shenyang area and Wafangdian is still on the way. It is expected that  They should arrive one after another before twelve o'clock tonight," Okamura Neji nodded.  ps: Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon. Qiu Feng would like to wish all brothers and sisters a happy Valentine's Day. Today Qiu Feng did something great that I thought was great. I just secretly bought a Xiaomi mobile phone for my wife as a Valentine's Day tomorrow.  The gift, hehe, I hope it will arrive soon.  The final announcement is updated. The reply will be updated tomorrow. It is expected that there are no less than three more.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 231: Fierce Street Fighting

    Saying that, Okamura Neiji paused and continued: "I have sent a telegram to the main attack force of the 114th Division to speed up the attack rhythm and strive to capture Haicheng before the reinforcements of the Chinese Army arrive, so as to form a horns with Yingkou."  "Well, Okamura-kun did a good job." Hishikara Takashi nodded happily and asked: "How is the progress of the battle in the direction of Wafangdian?" "The various units of the imperial army are fighting with the Chinese army, and the Chinese have left quite a few  The large number of tanks and armored forces caused a lot of trouble to the Imperial Army's offensive troops, and its air force also caused great difficulties to us during the day. Therefore, after dark, the real offensive of the Imperial Army began."  Second way.  "We must eat up the Chinese troops remaining on the front line of Wafangdian as soon as possible and join up with the 114th and 106th regiments of Yingkou for the strategic purpose of victory." Ling Qianlong instructed.  Okamura Neiji quickly bowed his head and said yes, saying: "General, I have said that in this joint operation, whether Yingkou can be defended is the top priority. Therefore, I implore General to allow me to go to Yingkou to command the 114th and 106th Divisions in person.  Fight with the regiment to buy more time for the imperial army. " "Okamura-kun, you want to go to Yingkou? This is the front line. Isn't it a bit too risky?" Hisashi Karitaka was a little surprised.  "General, although this is the front line, there are 40,000 imperial warriors. As a subject of the Emperor and a soldier of the Japanese Empire, I am honored to be able to fight to the death with tens of thousands of imperial warriors against the Chinese army. It is a humbling honor to hold such a humble position!" Okamura  Neji lowered his head with a righteous look on his face.  Hisashikari's eyes were full of admiration, and he nodded happily: "Hey, Okamura-kun is both wise and brave. He is actually the best senior general in the empire. Be careful!" "Thank you, General, for your humble rank!" Okamura Neiji said again  Lower your head.  "Zhang Xinghan, I'm here, I want to show off with you!" Okamura Neji said in a stern voice as if there was fire burning in his eyes.  ????………Wafangdian battlefield, as Okamura Ningji said.  After darkness fell, the Northeast New Army Air Force was unable to take off to provide support.  Without the threat of the air force, the Japanese attack began to become fierce and sharp.  The front of Wafangdian is more than fifty kilometers wide. If it is fully fortified, the deployment of the two divisions of the Northeast New Army will be extremely diluted.  This results in a fragile defense line. If one point is broken through, the entire line will inevitably collapse.  So Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan concentrated their troops in Wafangdian.  With Wafangdian as the center, several circular fortifications were built.  In this way, the Japanese army can naturally bypass Wafangdian, but before the Northeast New Army in Wafangdian is eliminated, the Japanese army will never and dare not do so.  Because Wafangdian is not just one or two groups.  But two infantry divisions plus one tank and armor division.  It can cut off the Japanese army's retreat at any time to form a counter-encirclement and give it a fatal blow.  Despite this, the Japanese army adopted a frontal containment and roundabout attack strategy.  Responsible for the roundabout attack were the two field regiments of the Japanese 1st Division.  At the same time, there are more than 20 ** heavy tanks directly under the 1st Division's tank brigade.  Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe deployed two hundred tanks and one hundred armed armored vehicles from the tank division on both wings.  When they discovered that the Japanese army was trying to make a detour, Zhao and Wang immediately ordered the tank division to take the initiative to attack the enemy.  The two sides had a fierce battle outside the two wings of Wafangdian, with a torrent of steel composed of 150 tanks and armored vehicles.  Crushed the Japanese infantry group that was attacking in a roundabout way.  More than twenty ** heavy tanks responsible for covering the offensive of the troops suffered devastating blows from the 75mm tank gun group.  In front of the huge steel torrent of the Northeastern New Army, they were as vulnerable as a handful of waves under the vast blue waves, and were instantly submerged.  Although the Japanese army already has rich experience in anti-tank combat, they lack effective and sufficient anti-tank weapons and still appear so passive and weak in the face of the torrent of steel from the Northeast New Army across the ages.  In a field battle, once the armored troops are activated, their assault power is invincible and unstoppable.     certainly.  There is also a surprise. If the Japanese army has enough troops, the armored force's assault is likely to fail and be overwhelmed by the Japanese army.  However, this is under the premise that the Japanese army can withstand the assault of the Northeast New Army's armored forces, otherwise the result will be the same no matter how many troops there are.  "However, the Japanese army used its main force to contain it head-on, and the tactical thinking of a small number of troops to use roundabouts on both wings has been deeply rooted in their minds.  The senior commanders of the Japanese army who used heavily armed groups to carry out flank breakthroughs and roundabout attacks would not be able to resist this momentum for a while.  After all, not all Japanese generals are talents like Okamura Neiji.  At the same time, the Wafangdian battle entered a stalemate stage.  In the direction of Haicheng, the Japanese shelling finally ended.  After the artillery regiment's artillery fire began to extend, thousands ofThe army swarmed in from the four gates of Haicheng and launched an attack on Haicheng, which was filled with smoke and flames.  Zhou Pingyuanhe shook his head.  Shaking off the dirt and dust that fell on his head from the explosion, he stood up with his Garand rifle.  The two soldiers next to him also stood up, their faces and bodies covered with dust.  Kaka stretching the bolt, Zhou Pingyuan said to the two subordinates: "The little devil's three -board ax is finished, gather troops, and beat his dog mother!" Yan Yan rushed out of the yard with two subordinates.  More than a dozen officers and soldiers from the guard battalions hiding in other yards also rushed out one after another.  As soon as the troops joined together, Zhou Pingyuan immediately took them to the north area of ??the city near the city gate to touch them.  When fighting in street battles, we must have both defense and offense. We are among the enemies so that the Japanese do not dare to push forward regardless of the situation.  In order to avoid artillery fire just now, Zhou Pingyuan and most of his men left the edge areas that were most vulnerable to Japanese artillery fire.  Less than three hundred meters forward, Zhou Pingyuan, who was personally at the vanguard, noticed something unusual.  Immediately waved to the subordinates who were following to stop advancing, knocking on the front there was a house that was hit by a shell and was on fire with the faint light of the fire.  Zhou Pingyuan vaguely saw a large number of Japanese troops approaching on the main street in the north of the city.  After thinking about it, Zhou Pingyuan immediately led his men to climb onto the roof. As soon as he climbed up, a soldier near the alley on the right was surprised to see a scene that shocked him.  There are also small groups of Japanese soldiers in several alleys on the right, sweeping forward.  It turns out that in order to succeed in the First World War, the Japanese army deployed two field regiments of nearly 5,000 people into the city to attack after the shelling.  Basically, there are Japanese troops distributed in every alley and alley, echoing the main force of the Japanese advancing frontally on the streets, carrying out carpet-type search and suppression.  At this time, gunshots could be heard vaguely from other directions. It seemed that some troops were already at war with the Japanese.  Zhou Pingyuan gritted his teeth, took the universal machine gun from a machine gunner and put it on the roof. He turned to his other subordinates and shouted: "When my gun fires up later, you use grenades to kill the Japs in the alleys first, and then  Fighting the Japanese on the street." More than a dozen soldiers took out their grenades and opened the safety guards of their rifles and submachine guns.  In the dark night, about a hundred Japanese troops came slowly along the street in a skirmish line, and the Japanese troops in the alleys also moved forward with them.  Zhou Pingyuan licked his mouth, moistened his dry lips, pulled the gun bolt, and fired a rapid burst of fire at the crowd of Japanese soldiers on the street.  "Click, click, click" Several hot 7.92 machine gun bullets roared in, and the two Japanese soldiers who were leading the battle were caught off guard and fell to the ground.  The other Japs suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and hid in the alleyways on both sides of the street and under the eaves of private houses.  Zhou Pingyuan continued to fire. The flames bursting from the mg34 general machine gun were particularly dazzling in the dark night. The dense bullets hit the streets with sparks flying everywhere.  At the same time, other soldiers also threw sizzling and smoking grenades into several alleys, which immediately caused the Japanese to scream.  After the initial panic, the Japanese soldiers began to use the cover of night to set up machine guns to fight back, and the riflemen also hid aside and opened fire.  The dense rain of bullets hit the tiles on both sides of Zhou Pingyuan, immediately smashing them into rubble.  Zhou Ping looked far away, turned the muzzle of his gun, and fired fiercely at the Japanese light machine gun that kept spitting out tongues of fire.  The terrifying rate of fire constituted a powerful firepower, which instantly suppressed the Japanese Taisho Eleven-Year Style.  "Bang bang bangswish swish" The dense bullets hit the Japanese machine gunner, the two deputy shooters, and the ammunition hand one after another.  The Japanese machine gunner leaned directly on the machine gun, and the crooked machine gun that was roaring just now went silent.  A Japanese lieutenant was very anxious when he saw this, and quickly waved his hand to several grenadiers to prepare. At the same time, several other machine guns also took advantage of this fire gap to duck and fire.  The dense bullets hit the two riflemen behind Zhou Pingyuan. The two fell into a pool of blood, and their bodies rolled and fell involuntarily.  "Suppression fire! Hit me!" Zhou Pingyuan roared, pulling the trigger and shooting wildly.  At this moment, the Japanese grenadiers on the opposite side suddenly opened fire.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several deafening muffled sounds sounded one after another, and several small grenades flew towards the roof where they were hiding with a whistling sound.  "Company commander, be careful." Upon seeing this, a soldier rushed toward Zhou Pingyuan.  "Boomboom" Two of the grenades landed directly on the roof and exploded, immediately destroying a large section of the roof.  The flying shrapnel and rubble took the lives of seven or eight soldiers.  Zhou Pingyuan only felt that his eardrums were aching from the explosion. He turned over and lifted the parts lying on his body.Pulling it down, I found that his back was covered in blood and flesh, and there was no good piece of meat to be found. I checked his breath and found that he had already died.  The grief-stricken Zhou Pingyuan picked up the universal machine gun and roared wildly: "You little devil, I'll fuck your grandma!" "Company commander, retreat quickly!" The few surviving soldiers crawled over from the other side of the roof and pulled them into the trap.  Zhou Pingyuan in madness.  At this time, the Japanese lieutenant waved his hand to several Japanese soldiers, indicating that they should go around the two entrances, and at the same time, the grenadiers were ready to fire a second time.  At this moment, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in the night sky. The Japanese Lieutenant looked up and saw several dazzling balls of red fire falling rapidly towards them.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 232: Reinforcements Arrive

    "Boomboom!" Several loud noises sounded not far from the Japanese Lieutenant, and the huge shock wave knocked him and his men around.  Six or seven Japanese soldiers who were too close to the explosion point were blown to pieces on the spot. They fell to the ground and kicked their legs to death immediately.  The explosion also knocked down several Japanese grenadiers, and when they got up in panic, they prepared to shell again.  There were sudden shouts of killing across the street, gunshots rang out in the darkness, and dazzling tongues of flame shot out.  The Japanese on the street who were suppressed by the dense bullets were unable to raise their heads and took cover on both sides of the street.  On the roof, Zhou Pingyuan and several surviving soldiers looked back, and a soldier said in surprise: "Company commander, he is one of ours!" While the soldiers were talking, the Northeastern New Army, whose number was unknown, had already reached them.  In addition to intensive machine gun and submachine gun firepower, there are also rocket launchers that fire from time to time.  Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were suppressed by direct-firing high-explosive bombs, leaving them unable to fight back.  Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Xinjing's trembling Japanese lieutenant had no choice but to wave the tortoise box in his hand: "Retreat, retreat!" "Boom, boom, boom click, click, click" There were one after another explosions and ear-splitting noises.  Amidst the sound of gunfire, this group of people rushed to the roof where Zhou Pingyuan and others were hiding.  By the firelight caused by the explosion, Zhou Pingyuan was pleasantly surprised to see that the person leading the charge was his battalion commander Guo Zhong.  "Camp seat!" Zhou Pingyuan, a tough man, shed tears of excitement.  Hearing the sound, Guo Zhong stopped, handed the machine gun to the soldiers beside him, signaled them to continue the pursuit, and turned around and walked towards Zhou Pingyuan and the others.  "Old Zhou, are you okay?" Zhou Pingyuan wiped away his tears and said quickly: "Yingzuo, I'm fine." As he spoke, he and several of his subordinates came down from the roof one after another.  Guo Zhong looked at Zhou Pingyuan and punched him in the chest.  He laughed and scolded: "You little brat, look at how promising you are. If you have nothing to do, pick up the machine gun and fight back against the Japs. The Japs have just finished the bombardment and are arrogant. The commander asked us to kill them. "Yes.  !  "Zhou Pingyuan promised with a bang, and immediately took a general-purpose machine gun from one of his subordinates, and hung the metal bullet chain around his neck. "Brothers.  Fight with me and avenge your dead brothers!  Go!  " "Go!"  "Several other soldiers immediately roared and rushed forward following Zhou Pingyuan. Guo Zhong smiled, took out his rifle and turned on the safety, and ran to follow. "This targeted counterattack was made by Zhang Xinghan after careful consideration.  Decision. Although it will cause a lot of casualties to the already somewhat stretched troops, the enemy will be greatly reduced in strength. At the same time, the situation between the two sides will return to that before the battle broke out. In this way, the arrival of reinforcements will be inevitable.  It was no longer a problem. It turned out that Zhang Xinghan's decision was extremely correct. Guo Zhong and others took the initiative to attack, which greatly exceeded the Japanese army's expectations and gave the Japanese attacking troops a head-on attack.  The Japanese were almost driven out of the city. In addition to heavy losses, the offensive was suddenly defeated. When the counterattack ended, it was already 7:30 in the evening, and it was less than three hours before the reinforcements arrived.  It can be said that victory is in sight. Dashiqiao, 114th Division Headquarters. Chief of Staff Shao Tianfan put down the phone with a solemn look, turned to Nakashimamura who was sitting in front of the map and said: "General.  The first attack of the 127th Brigade failed.  " "What? Failed?" Nakajima Village was a little surprised and asked: "Didn't the artillery regiment just finish the bombardment of the city? Even if it can't be won in one battle, it won't fail so quickly, right?" "General, the city  The Chinese Army suddenly launched a desperate counterattack against the imperial army's attacking troops. The attacking troops were caught off guard and suffered a tragic defeat.  "Shao Tianfan replied. "Baga, they are all just a bunch of losers!  "Nakajima Village was very angry. "General.  The complex terrain in the city prevented the imperial army from fully deploying its superior forces. To a certain extent, our forces that could directly fight the Chinese were equal.  The equipment of the Chinese is better than ours, and they are also equipped with some new direct-fire guns.  It would be difficult for the imperial army to win such a battle!  "Shao Tianfan explained. "Chief of Staff, what do you mean?" Zhongdao Village looked sideways at Shao Tianfan. "General, according to the scout report, the Chinese reinforcements are less than a hundred miles away from Haicheng. With their  With the marching speed, we can arrive in three hours at most.  Beizhi believes that even if we capture Haicheng before they arrive, we will not have enough time to re-build the defense line, so Haicheng may not be able to hold it.  What’s more,?Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the 127th Brigade to capture Haicheng in three hours. Instead of wasting the precious troops and ammunition of the Imperial Army, it is better to withdraw the 127th Brigade to Dashiqiao as soon as possible and wait for work.  China reinforcements.  Fight to the death with him at Dashiqiao!  "Shao Tianfan explained his opinion seriously. Nakajima Village was a little moved when he heard this, but hesitantly said: "However, it was General Okamura's suggestion to capture Haicheng. After all, from a strategic point of view, Haicheng's strategic location is indeed very important to us.  important.  If we can win it, our defense depth will be greatly increased.  On the contrary, we will be compressed into a narrow strip of less than 20 kilometers in radius. The lack of sufficient defense depth will greatly affect the subsequent battle.  "General, the situation has changed now. The enemy's tenacity in Haicheng completely exceeded the expectations of the imperial army. Their reinforcements also moved quickly. The fighter planes that captured the city have disappeared. Please be aware of this!"  "Shao Tianfan took the trouble to persuade. Nakadao Village pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Shao Tianjun, do you think we can succeed if we send an additional force to the north of Haicheng to set up defenses along the railway line to block the reinforcements of the Chinese Army?  " When Shao Tianfan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly advised: "Your Excellency, General, you must not do this. The Chinese reinforcements this time have been recuperating in the Shenyang area for a long time. They are coming with menacing force, their morale is high, and most of them are  Armored assault troops cannot easily stop a weak brigade.  "Rushly setting up defenses to block the attack is very likely to cause us unimaginable losses. If we are not careful, we may even endanger the Dashiqiao defense line.  Once the Dashiqiao is lost, the camp entrance will be in danger, and our counterattack on the camp entrance will become meaningless.  Therefore, general, please put the overall situation first and don't worry too much about the gains and losses of a small place like Haicheng.  " After hearing this, Nakashima Village was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "In that case, let's notify the 127th Brigade to stop the attack. The 114th Field Artillery Regiment will withdraw immediately, and the 127th Brigade will withdraw one by one to consolidate the big stone bridge.  Line of defense.  " "Hai!  "Shao Tianfan suddenly lowered his head, turned around and went to deliver the order with his saber in hand. In Haicheng, Guo Zhong walked into the headquarters panting, and without even saluting, he reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Commander  , the Japanese retreated.  "Withdrawal?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised: "The Japanese withdrew before our reinforcements arrived. What a surprise."  " "Maybe it was because I thought it was hopeless to attack the city, so I evacuated early and gave up."  "Guo Zhongdao. Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said in deep thought: "That makes sense. After the Battle of Shenyang, the Battle of Tongliao and the Battle of Northern Manchuria, the little devil's original arrogance has almost dissipated.  Now I know how to weigh the pros and cons, haha.  "Historically, due to the extremely poor performance of the Chinese *** team, it is best to describe it as vulnerable. The Japanese army's arrogance was once extremely arrogant. But now, after repeated defeats in the Northeast battlefield and the loss of hundreds of thousands of horses,  The initial sense of arrogance and superiority was long gone. Guo Zhong was a little excited and asked: "Commander, what should we do next?" "What should we do?" Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "Little devil.  Now that our tricks are over, it's time for us to attack. Let the brothers in the city stay vigilant to prevent the Japanese from returning, and wait for reinforcements to arrive before making plans.  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong stood up and saluted, then turned around and accepted the order to leave. On the sea, three Japanese ships quietly arrived at Yingkou along the coastline under the cover of night. After arriving at the shore, Okamura Neji  Accompanied by several adjutants and guards, they boarded a landing craft and quickly headed towards the coast. The commander of the Japanese 106th Division, Kentaro Kurotsuchi, and others had already arrived to greet them in person.  They all hurriedly saluted and came forward to greet him. "General Okamura, thank you for your hard work.  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi was the first to shake hands. Okamura Neji returned the salute and shook hands with Kentaro Kurotsuchi: "It's not hard. Kurotsuchi-kun, you are fighting on the front line, which is the real hard work.  " After exchanging pleasantries, Okamura Neji asked: "Kuroto-kun, how is the situation?" Kurotsuchi Kentaro put away his smile and replied seriously: "Everything is normal in the defense area in charge of our division. After dark, the Jinzhou-directed China Army  The offensive was halted after losing air support.  " After hearing this, Okamura Neji said: "They stopped attacking not just because they lost air force support, they should be waiting for other reinforcements to arrive.  " "General Okamura's analysis is very reasonable.  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi nodded with deep understanding. "Two generals, the sea wind here is very strong. Please return to the headquarters in the city before discussing the military situation.  "The chief of staff of the 106th Division suddenly suggested. When Kentaro Kurotsuchi heard this, he looked at Okamura.This time, when he saw him nodding, he solemnly said: "Okamura-kun, please!" Okamura Neji was not polite, and stepped onto the military vehicle parked not far away with Kentaro Kurotsuchi and others, and drove towards Yingkou City.  Two and a half hours later, Gao Chu, commander of the 9th Division of the Communist Party of China, personally led a tank regiment directly under the division headquarters and a motorized infantry regiment to rush to Haicheng North Railway Station first.  ??Immediately stationed in Haicheng County, around 11 o'clock in the evening, other troops also arrived one after another.  At the same time, Huang Xiansheng led the ** First Division also rushed from Gaizhou to the area south of Yingkou.  Zhang Xinghan energized all troops to seize the time to rest and prepare to launch an attack on the Japanese army at the same time tomorrow.  ps: The third one is more likely to be after 12 o’clock. Let’s watch it tomorrow morning.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 233: Joint attack on the camp entrance

    In Yingkou City, compared to the silence of Haicheng, the Japanese army in Yingkou City became busy due to the arrival of Okamura Neji.  Okamura Neiji clearly predicted that the final outcome of the upcoming battle at Yingkou would definitely depend on the street fighting in Yingkou City.  He understood that with only 40,000 soldiers, the defense lines and fortifications built in such a short period of time would not be able to withstand the counterattack of the Northeastern New Army for a long time in the field.  Therefore, the final battle is still street fighting, and only street fighting can offset the squadron's advantages in air force and armored forces to the greatest extent.  Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the city, he asked the reserve and logistics troops of the 106th Division and the 114th Division to immediately carry out repairs and construction in the city overnight.  At this time, Yingkou City was already a siege city. Thousands of houses were slightly renovated and all became fortifications and fortresses of the Japanese army.  Okamura Neiji stayed up all night, personally planning defense areas for the city's defenders, guiding the construction of fortifications, and trying his best to come up with every method he could think of.  ????………………????????????…??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not turn up at around five o'clock in the morning the next day, just as the sky turned white, Zhang Xinghan woke up from his sleep.  The kitchen cook had already served breakfast. After the reinforcements arrived last night, Zhang Xinghan dragged his exhausted body to sleep. He hadn't eaten anything all day and night, and he was already hungry.  After washing up, Zhang Xinghan quickly made breakfast. At this time, Gao Chu, Du Ting and Guo Zhong all arrived one after another.  "Commander." Gao Chu and others saluted one after another.  "Have you had breakfast? No, I'll ask the kitchen to get some for you." Zhang Xinghan wiped his mouth and asked.  "We've all eaten, Commander, the 9th and 10th divisions of the ** are ready. Please give us combat missions!" Gao Chu stepped forward and said.  As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhang Xinghan could speak, a guard's voice sounded outside: "The chief of staff is here!" "Oh? The chief of staff is here?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised.  Everyone turned around when they heard the sound and saw Jiang Baili striding in wearing a military uniform.  He stood up and saluted: "Commander, here comes the humble duty." "Chief of Staff, you are just in time. I am planning to attack Yingkou." Zhang Xinghan returned the greeting cordially.  With that said, Zhang Xinghan waved to them and said, "Come, let's discuss it." Everyone stood around the map, and Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked around.  Said: "I believe you all have a general understanding of the current battlefield situation. In the direction of Wafangdian, the main force of the Japanese army in Dalian has launched a counterattack against me. I have sent a telegram to the ** 2nd and 3rd Divisions and the 1st Armored Division to launch on the spot.  Defense can be guaranteed in a short time. "So, the key point of this battle is Yingkou. According to intelligence, the number of Japanese troops landing at Yingkou is more than 30,000, probably between 40,000 and 50,000."  , our **1st Division, a tank division and two heavy artillery brigades also arrived in the early hours of last night. At this point, we have assembled four motorized infantry divisions, a tank division, and two heavy artillery brigades. If necessary,  The 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of Shenyang can also go south to support the operation. We have an absolute strength advantage. ""In other words, what we compete with the Japanese is who can capture Yingkou and Wafangdian first, right?" **Commander of the 9th Division.  The Tao in a high school student's words.  "Yes, if we cannot seize the camp before the Japanese break through the Wafangdian defense line, then the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions and the Equipment Group Army will be in danger. Yingkou was captured by the Japanese army, and their logistics supply line has been cut off.  The ammunition carried by each unit cannot last for long. Although we can use the air force to airdrop the above-mentioned troops, it is obviously unrealistic to meet all the combat survival needs of the nearly 70,000 people in the five divisions. "Zhang Xinghan.  What he said was all true. He could airdrop the ammunition and food needed for several divisions at once, not to mention that his current air force did not have this capability.  Even if it is as strong as Germany, the United States may not be able to do it.  "Commander, in the last battle of Yingkou, 30,000 Japanese troops were defeated by us in one battle and the entire army was annihilated. Although the Japanese military strength has increased this time, our military strength is also slightly different from before. But I believe that within three days,  We will definitely be able to capture Yingkou and wipe out the Japanese troops in the city!" Du Ting, commander of the **10th Division, said with confidence.  His words resonated with people including Gao Chu.  After all, not long ago, the Japanese defense force in Yingkou reached 30,000 people.  In the end, they were defeated by the Northeastern New Army in two days and the whole army was annihilated. Although the 9th and 10th Divisions of the *** that were responsible for the main attack this time were slightly inferior to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions, Gao Chu, Du Ting and others were confident  Prove the victory of the 9th and 10th Divisions with a record that is no less than that of other friendly forces.  "Commander Gao, Commander Du, the Japanese army was able to suddenly think of a counterattack at the entrance of the camp when the strategic overall collapse was almost complete, and cut off the connection between our follow-up troops and the offensive troops in one fell swoop. This is by no means the determination and courage that ordinary people can possess.  This shows that the Japanese army mustAfter changing the commander, this person's strategic and tactical level is definitely far higher than any previous Kwantung Army commander.  What deserves our vigilance is that we still don’t know who this person is. As the old saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.  Now this person is in the dark and we are in the light. We know nothing about him, so we must not be careless.  "Zhang Xinghan didn't speak, and Jiang Baili was the first to express his position. After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan gently nodded and said: "What the chief of staff said is not unreasonable, but no matter who the little devil sent this time, we have to see it.  True chapter.  " After saying this, Zhang Xinghan said loudly to everyone: "Pass my order, the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th ** should immediately prepare for the attack, and order the 1st and 2nd Flying Regiments to take off immediately, and the 1st and 2nd Combined Heavy Artillery Brigades  Conduct an all-round bombing of the Japanese positions in Yingkou.  "    "yes!  "Gao Chu and others all stood up and responded, then turned around and were ordered to leave. In Yingkou City, Okamura Neji, who had not slept all night, dragged his tired body back to the commander accompanied by guards and adjutants.  Looking at the already bright sky, Okamura Neiji said to Kentaro Kurotsuchi, the commander of the 106th Division: "Kuroto-kun, the sky is getting dark, the Chinese will attack soon, please quickly notify the frontline troops to pay attention to air defense.  , anti-gun.  " "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away.  "Although Kentaro Kurotsuchi's military rank is higher than that of Okamura Neji, he didn't dare to be too boastful and nodded quickly. Carrying a saber, he personally picked up the phone directly connected to the front-line units. About half an hour later, from  The Northeastern New Army bomber groups that took off from Changchun and Tongliao flew to the Yingkou airspace and began to launch fierce bombings against the Japanese forces in the direction of Dashiqiao, Daliao River, and Daqing River. At the same time, two heavy artillery brigades and eight heavy artillery battalions were directly under the command of four divisions.  A total of nearly three hundred 105mm and 150mm heavy artillery pieces from the artillery regiment also began to fire fiercely at the targets that had been calibrated. For a time, there were violent explosions everywhere around the Yingkou, filled with billowing smoke and monstrous fire.  On the main position of the division, most of the Japanese soldiers had hid in the temporarily dug anti-gun holes. Due to the rush of time, most of the fortifications and bunkers built by the Japanese army were simple civil engineering works, which could not withstand the bombardment of the 105mm artillery group.  Not enough, not to mention the 150mm heavy artillery bombardment. In addition, hundreds of aircraft from the Northeast New Army were constantly strafing and bombing in the sky. From time to time, the enemy's hiding holes were directly hit by artillery shells or aerial bombs.  , flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the shelling and bombing continued for a full hour. At this moment, the Japanese 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th divisions were surrounded by thick smoke.  The main attacking force launched an attack on the Japanese position from three directions at the same time. In the direction of Dashiqiao, two battalions of the 9th Division and one battalion of the tank regiment were responsible for the first wave of attack. More than 1,500 soldiers lined up.  The troops launched a wave-like charge towards the Japanese positions. Of course, in front of them were dozens of No. 4 tanks and combat vehicles of the 114th Division, and some Japanese officers were covered in dirt and dust.  He crawled out of the artillery hole and began to urge his subordinates anxiously: "Hurry, prepare to fight, hurry up!  "Hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive began to file out of the artillery holes, holding rifles and quickly entering combat positions. At the same time, the Japanese artillerymen also pulled the artillery out of the bunkers. "  Kill!  "Thousands of Northeast New Army soldiers shouted and roared towards the Japanese position. Dozens of tanks took the lead in entering the range of the Japanese position. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese did not immediately open fire to block it as before.  Except for the rumble of the tanks, the entire battlefield was eerily quiet. At the same time, an adjutant from the Japanese headquarters in the city turned to Okamura Neiji with a phone in one hand: "General, the 114th Division.  The 127th Brigade reported that the Chinese dispatched tanks and chariots and launched an attack on them.  " "Tanks and combat vehicles? How many are there?" Okamura Ningji said. "About dozens.  "The adjutant replied. "Tell the commander of the forward wing to immediately use the method I gave them to deal with the Chinese tanks and chariots first, and then open fire in full force!  "Okamura Neiji said calmly and confidently. "This method was worked out by him before coming here. It is definitely an excellent method for the imperial army that lacks anti-tank weapons. In order to unify the command of this defensive battle, Okamura  The telephone number of Neiji's headquarters is connected to the frontline regiments, so that they can grasp the latest battle situation on the front line in time, so as to respond quickly. Although Nakashimamura and Kurotsuchi Kentaro are the same rank as Takaokamura Neiji, they are really.  I dare not trust him, not only because Okamura Neiji is the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.bsp; You must know that Okamura Neiji is also one of the founders of the Baden-Baden Alliance Sanyu Karasuba, and can be said to be the absolute hero and confidant of Emperor Showa.  Therefore, Okamura Neiji directly commanded, and they would not and did not dare to have any objections.  "Hai!" the adjutant responded quickly and started giving instructions into the microphone.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 234: Smoke Tactics

    Stationed at the forefront of Dashiqiao is the 102nd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 127th Brigade, which withdrew from Haicheng last night.  After receiving the instructions from Okamura Neiji, the current captain of the 102nd Infantry Regiment immediately notified the 1st Infantry Brigade.  The 1st Infantry Brigade, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly took out the secret weapons they had prepared in advance.  Soon, dozens of tanks from the Northeastern New Army had successively entered within a range of 500 meters.  But there was still silence on the Japanese position, and no Japanese soldiers fired.  Gao Chu, the commander of the 9th Division of the Communist Party of China who was responsible for commanding this battle, received a reply from the tank battalion and said in confusion: "Damn it, what kind of song is this little devil singing? Can he really hold his breath?" "  Division seat, do you want the tank battalion to pause its advance? Let the infantry charge forward?" asked a regimental commander on the side.  "Five hundred meters is too far. If the tank battalion cannot reach it, if the Japanese attack suddenly, the infantry will suffer heavy casualties." Gao Chu pondered for a moment and said: "Order the tank battalion to continue to advance and cover the infantry when they arrive.  Within a hundred meters, capture the little Jaap’s forward position in one fell swoop, but be extra careful about what the hell the little Jaap does, I always feel a bit nervous!” “Yes!”  .  Soon, about thirty or so No. 4 tanks continued to accelerate forward, and the direct-fire cannons of some tanks fired shells at the silent Japanese positions unwilling to be left alone.  Explosions that sounded from time to time brought up clouds of thick smoke and red light on the Japs’ positions, and the earth and gravel shot up all over the sky and fell down like rain.  The helmets of the Japanese soldiers squatting in the trenches were smashed, but all the Japanese soldiers were indifferent and squatted on the spot as if they were dead.  As time passed, the offensive troops of the Northeastern New Army got closer and closer to the Japanese trenches.  The distance between tanks and infantry basically varies from tens to hundreds of meters.  Seeing more than thirty tanks roaring into the range of a hundred meters from the Japanese trenches, the tank crews began to accelerate. The distance of less than a hundred meters was enough for them to provide any effective fire support for the infantry.  To the surprise of many tank soldiers, the Japanese did not build anti-tank trenches this time, probably because they knew that the Northeast New Army had bridging tanks.  There will be no wasted effort.  Just as the infantrymen behind roared and accelerated their charge, sudden changes occurred in several trenches of the Japanese position.  "Grenades" that squeaked and smoked one after another flew into the air and roared towards the tank group.  The explosion expected by the tank crews did not sound, but was replaced by thick white and gray smoke that covered the sky and the sun.  “It’s not a gas bomb, right?” Some tank commanders’ vision was blocked and they all picked up their walkie-talkies and said in a panic.  "Why are you panicking? Put on a fucking gas mask, hurry up!" A major officer calmly shouted into the intercom.  And the tank camp was shrouded in white smoke.  While their line of sight was severely blocked, no less than a hundred Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trench silently, carrying their military bags.  Using the cover of smoke, they quickly approached the tank camp.  The Japanese did not fire gas bombs but smoke bombs. This was a method Okamura Neiji racked his brains to come up with to deal with the assault of the tanks and armored units of the Northeastern New Army.  Under the thick smoke, the tank crews of the Northeast New Army did not realize that the danger was approaching.  Sitting in the tank, their sight was greatly affected, and the Japanese soldiers did not make any noise. The Chinese soldiers liked to roar and be bold when attacking, so they approached silently.  Almost the infantry of the 9th Infantry Division arrived.  Also unable to advance or retreat due to the thick smoke, more than a hundred Japanese death squads rushed towards more than 30 Panzer IV tanks holding bomb bags.  It is impossible to spot an individual person within a certain distance in the dense smoke, but it is relatively easy to spot a behemoth weighing dozens of tons, several meters wide and long in advance.  "Boomboomboom" Violent explosions sounded in vain, and dazzling red lights rose into the sky one after another.  Although the bomb bag carried by the Japanese soldiers is not enough to destroy the entire tank, the violent explosion can still blow up the tracks of the tank.  When the explosion sounded, the infantrymen of the Northeastern New Army not far away realized that something was wrong and opened fire one after another.  But it was too late.  The explosion ended quickly. Although most of the more than a hundred Japanese death squads were killed by two infantry battalions of the Northeast New Army, most of the tanks lost their ability to move and broke down on the spot.  The situation was so critical that several battalion commanders did not even have time to ask their superiors for instructions. Changes began again in the Japanese trenches.  The Japanese grenades and mortars that were still firing smoke grenades just now were replaced with grenades, and rows of shells suddenly headed towards the attacking troops of the Northeastern New Army.  Especially when the tank battalion broke down and fell.  Explosions occurred one after another, and the casualties of the tanks and infantrymen of the Northeast New Army increased sharply.  &nbsp;Soon, the rear of the Japanese position had just entered the position, and the 75 cannon field artillery groups of the artillery regiment, which were ready for battle, also opened fire one after another.  The area where the attacking troops were located quickly turned into a sea of ??fire. From time to time, officers and soldiers were hit by raging shrapnel, and blood spattered on the spot.  Some shells fell directly into the crowd, easily killing the new Northeastern officers and soldiers who could not escape.  The bombardment consisted of only one rapid fire.  A Japanese colonel pulled out his command knife and pointed forward: "Kill Gaga!" Thousands of Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trenches one after another and quickly rushed towards the explosion area.  One of the two infantry battalion commanders responsible for leading the attack was seriously injured, and the other was directly dismembered into pieces by artillery shells.  The company platoon leader also suffered heavy losses under the Japanese's rapid and cunning shelling.  Fortunately, the commander of the tank battalion survived.  Under his command, the tank crews who survived in the tanks opened fire one after another, and dozens of general-purpose machine guns roared in vain.  The dense bullets poured over the Japanese soldiers like water, and the Japanese soldiers who silently charged with their guns fell to the ground one after another.  However, more Japanese soldiers rushed forward one after another, and the surviving infantrymen relied on tanks to fire back the bunkers.  "What's going on?" On the attack position of the 9th Division, Gao Chu asked in shock, holding up his telescope.  The colonel commander on the side was also anxious and sweating profusely and said: "I don't know, I can't see anything." At this moment, an unkempt soldier ran over in a panic.  "Master seat, regimental seat!" "What's wrong? What happened?" Gao Chu put down the telescope and turned around and asked anxiously.  "We fell into the enemy's trap. All the tracks of the tank battalion were destroyed. The enemy suddenly launched an artillery bombardment on our attacking troops. The two infantry battalions suffered heavy losses. The enemy has counterattacked across the board. The brothers can hardly stand it any longer!" the soldier said with a sad face.  Report loudly.  "What?" Gao Chu was shocked when he heard this.  The face of the colonel commander on the side also changed drastically. He was about to call for help and said: "Master, I will bring reinforcements up!" "Yes! Go right away! The second and third tank battalions will also rush up for me immediately. We must not let them go.  The entire tank battalion was wiped out here!" Gao Chu nodded in agreement without thinking.  "Yes!" The colonel commander saluted and was about to take the order and leave. At this moment, the remnants of the Northeast New Army on the battlefield had already retreated.  Both of them were attracted by the sounds on the battlefield.  "Master, the regiment has been defeated!" The colonel commander's face was full of shock and annoyance.  "I will immediately lead people to rush forward and recapture the tanks of the first battalion!" The colonel commander turned around after finishing his words.  Gao Chu waved his hand to stop him: "It's too late" Almost as Gao Chu finished speaking, fire and gunpowder smoke rising more than ten meters high once again rose on the battlefield.  On the battlefield, the Japanese used twice as much TNT high-explosive gunfire to finally destroy more than thirty paralyzed Panzer IV tanks.  In the battle just now, the more than a hundred surviving tank soldiers and the Japanese engaged in a brief but not tragic bloody battle.  Because the tank broke down, within a distance of less than 100 meters, dozens of parallel machine guns that could not turn were unable to stop the Japanese from approaching.  After a slight detour, the Japanese soldiers quickly swarmed up. Our infantry had already suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat.  The tank crews had no time to evacuate and were already surrounded by the Japanese crowd.  Under the leadership of their battalion commander, these young Chinese tank soldiers climbed out of the tank with self-defense pistols and fought the Japanese to the bitter end.  However, less than half of the Northeastern New Army could successfully climb out. After suffering a small loss, the Japanese immediately launched a fire blockade on other tanks.  The vast majority of tank soldiers died heroically in their beloved tanks.  **The 9th Division attacked the position. Gao Chu said to the adjutant with a somewhat lonely expression: "Order the troops to postpone the attack and report the battle situation to the commander-in-chief." ……………………  Fighting in both directions in the south also began one after another.  In the direction of the Daliao River, the 4th Division of the Northeast New Army, under the command of division commander Liu Jianguo, used bridge-building tanks to successfully build a steel bridge on the narrow section of the Daliao River.  But their offensive force was also blocked by Okamura Neiji's smoke tactics. All the tanks that were launched into the attack on the other side were wiped out, and the infantry was almost completely lost.  In the end, less than one-third were successfully withdrawn.  At the same time, the results of the battle in the direction of Daqing River south of Yingkou were similar to those at Dashiqiao and Daliao River.  The attacking troops of Huang Xiansheng and Li Zhenyuan were also attacked by the Japanese smoke tactics. Unprepared for this, they were also caught off guard by the Japanese.  Lost one and a halfBattalions of tanks and armored vehicles, and half a regiment of infantry.  The all-out offensive of the Northeastern New Army was forced to stop, and all ministries quickly reported this unexpected war situation to Zhang Xinghan in Haicheng.  Haicheng, the general forward command of the Northeast New Army.  After listening to Li Guocai's report, Zhang Xinghan almost couldn't believe his ears, "Xiao Lizi, what did you say? All four divisions' attacks failed?" Li Guocai nodded silently.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly became furious and kicked the chair behind him to the ground.  "His uncle! I have never suffered such a big loss since the beginning of the Shenyang Anti-Japanese War!" "Commander, calm down, it seems that the Japanese army in Yingkou is really not simple. We underestimated the enemy." Jiang Baili also frowned and advised in a deep voice.  road.

    Zhang Xinghan bent down to lift up the chair that had been kicked down, took a few deep breaths, and said calmly: "Brother Baili, I just lost my temper." After lifting the chair, Zhang Xinghan sat on it, leaned against the back of the chair and lit a cigarette.  Started smoking.  After a long time, he said: "Order Shen Yizhi to do everything possible to get me information about the Japanese commander in Yingkou. No matter what, I have to know who this person is!" "Yes!" Guard Battalion Commander Guo Zhong immediately  He responded, turned and left.  After Guo Zhong left, Zhang Xinghan turned his attention to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, do you have any way to deal with the little devil's smoke tactics?" Jiang Baili frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "This trick of the devil is really ingenious, and I am impressed.  The siege troops are defenseless. In my opinion, we should postpone the attack until we figure out a way to deal with it." Zhang Xinghan nodded silently and then said: "Chief of Staff, are you interested in following me to the front line?  ?” “Don’t you dare disobey me!” Jiang Baili stood up and stood upright.  …………………… Yingkou City, Japanese Army Command Headquarters.  The commander of the 106th Division, Kentaro Kurotsuchi, hung up the phone with an excited look on his face, and said with great reverence to Neji Okamura, who was standing in front of the map, bowing his head in meditation: "Okamura-kun, there are calls from all the regiments. They are going to attack."  All the enemies were defeated, nearly a hundred Chinese tanks and chariots were destroyed, and thousands of enemies were annihilated. This was actually the greatest victory of the imperial army since the Battle of Tongliao. Especially at this time when the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula was critical, it would be even greater.  It really boosts the morale and morale of the Imperial Army. " If Kentaro Kurotsuchi directly unified command over Okamura Neji and took away his command power in disguise, I feel a little dissatisfied.  Now, Kentaro Kurotsuchi's respect for Okamura Neji immediately increased to an astonishing level.  He never expected that this seemingly ordinary strategy would achieve such unexpected results.  Okamura Neji did not show much happiness, but nodded subconsciously.  Upon seeing this, Kentaro Kurotsuchi asked: "Okamura-kun, you don't seem very happy. You came up with this method. You have already made military exploits for the empire." "There is nothing to be happy about, it's just a small victory.  If the Chinese suffer a loss, the next battle will not be so easy. They will definitely find a way to crack my smoke tactics. This is what I am worried about," Okamura Neiji said with a worried look.  "In any case, we have won an unprecedented victory. This is a victory that can greatly boost the morale of the Imperial Army. Okamura-kun, do you think we need to send a message to Commander Hisashikarari to report the victory. In order to boost the morale of the main force of the Kwantung Army  What?" Kentaro Kurotsuchi said disapprovingly.  Okamura Neiji stood up, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Well, let's send a message to General Hisashikarari. This strategy can also be handed over to the main force of the Kwantung Army to deal with the Chinese tanks and armored forces."?…  ………… Dalian Lushun Fortress, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Koiso Kuniaki walked into the headquarters with a piece of paper.  As I walked, I couldn't help laughing loudly.  "Xiaoji-kun, what's wrong with you?" Hearing his cry, Hisashi Karitaka turned around and asked in confusion.  "Your Excellency, Commander, good news, good news." Koiso Kuniaki was very excited.  "Nani? Where did the good news come from?" Hisashi Karutaka looked surprised.  "Yingkou, Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura called. They relied on the smoke warfare method invented by Okamura-kun to defeat the attack of the Chinese army, destroyed nearly a hundred Chinese tanks and chariots, and wiped out thousands of enemies." Koiso Kuniaki  said extremely excitedly.  "Really?" Hearing this, Hisashi Karutaka's expression changed. He reached out to take the telegram, read it himself, and said with a smile: "Yo Xi, that's great. The Imperial Army needs such a victory so much." "Your Excellency said that.  Yes, I suggest you immediately report this news to the frontline divisions along with the smoke tactics, which can not only boost the morale of the troops, but also deal with the Chinese tanks and armored vehicles," Koiso Kuniaki said with a smile.  "Yo Xi, implement it immediately." Hishikari Taka nodded happily and added: "Also, call Okamura-kun back. Tell him that I will personally ask for credit from His Majesty the Emperor for him." "Hai!" Koiso  Guozhao suddenly lowered his head, turned around and took the order.  ????????????????????????????????????On the road and railway line from Haicheng to Dashiqiao, a military column was roaring southbound.  On the roads on both sides of the railway line.  A large number of heavily armed Northeastern new officers and soldiers traveled south in military trucks or in tanks and armored vehicles along with trains.  At the same time, we also shoulder the responsibility of vigilance and escort.  The distance from Haicheng to Dashiqiao was only more than 20 kilometers. In less than two hours, Zhang Xinghan got off the train at Huwang Town Station.  **Gao Chu, Commander of the 9th Division, Du Ting, Commander of the 10th Division and others.?Have been waiting here for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Gao Chu stepped forward with a face of shame and lowered his head and said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, I failed to complete the mission. Two-thirds of the attacking troops were lost because of my poor command. Please punish me!" "Okay,  Now is not the time to hold people accountable, and not only did you suffer the defeat, Liu Jianguo's 4th Division and Huang Xiansheng's 1st Division also suffered losses." Zhang Xinghan said in a slightly serious tone: "As the ancients said, you know your shame.  Hou Yong, a temporary victory or defeat is nothing, just get along well and win back. Our Northeastern New Army can still afford to lose more than a hundred tanks, but it is a pity for hundreds of tanks and armored soldiers." Zhang Xinghan didn't.  Wu said with regret: "In the future, if we encounter such a battle again, the officers and soldiers of each tank regiment should immediately abandon their vehicles and escape to save themselves. If the tanks and vehicles are gone, they can be bought and rebuilt. If the people are gone, nothing will be left!"  Do you understand?" "Yes!" Gao Chu and Du Ting responded one after another.  “Commander, Chief of Staff, are you going to the humble headquarters first, or?” Gao Chu asked.  "You and Du Ting will take me and the chief of staff to the front line first. I want to see the battlefield." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, I will arrange my humble post immediately." Gao Chu happily agreed.  Not long after the meeting, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili, accompanied by Du Ting and others in high school, followed the trenches to a secret observation post at the forefront.  Standing in the observation post and looking through the telescope, the location of the morning battle was clearly visible.  The wreckage of destroyed tanks and even the bodies of fallen soldiers were all visible.  After watching for a moment, Zhang Xinghan felt ashamed and angry. He turned his head and almost said something through his teeth: "Give me the order. From now on, all the artillery will carry out all-round and indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese positions. The air force will also  Send them all out and kill these sons of bitches!" "Yes!" Guo Zhong, who was accompanying him, responded loudly.  Turn around and take the order to leave.  ???????????????????????????????????????????It was only after their own artillery group opened fire and the Japanese position was enveloped in smoke and fire that Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili put down their telescopes.  "How about it, Chief of Staff, is there any good way?" Zhang Xinghan turned around and asked.  Jiang Baili sighed softly and said: "Commander, please forgive me for being dejected. The place chosen by the little devils is very tricky. Dashiqiao Railway Station is an important transportation location in the northeast of Yingkou.  We have to deploy defensive positions along the line and defend them. There is an open area in front of them. Except for using troops to attack, there seems to be no good way or shortcut. ""A strong attack is fine. We use air superiority, artillery and force.  The key for the tank and armored forces is to prevent the Japanese from using smoke grenades against us," Zhang Xinghan said.  "For the current plan, we can only strengthen the coordination of infantry and tanks during the attack. If the enemy uses smoke grenades, the infantry must defend and not retreat. Assist the tank troops to suppress the Japanese army with intensive firepower and not give them a chance to counterattack. In addition, in the morning,  During the battle, our army was attacked by enemy artillery fire. This shows that we need to strengthen the artillery assistance of the attacking troops," Jiang Baili said.  "Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, but we have to discuss the specific details carefully. Make adequate preparations and take all measures." Zhang Xinghan nodded thoughtfully.  "Commander, Chief of Staff, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the headquarters first, shall we?" Gao Chu said quickly.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other and nodded.  After returning to the joint headquarters of the **9th and 10th Divisions.  Zhang Xinghan and others sat around the table, and Jiang Baili continued to talk about his plan: "Everyone, I just said half of what I said. I think that in the next attack, not only should we strengthen the coordination of infantry and tanks, but it is best to equip the attacking troops with more shoulder-mounted weapons."  We must also make use of portable high-power individual heavy weapons such as RPGs and incendiary bombs to give full play to our absolute advantages in technical equipment and defeat our opponents with absolute hard power." Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this.  Everything said is reasonable and the analysis is very thorough. Indeed, the advantage of the Northeast New Army is not its military strength.  "It's their advanced technological weapons, various advanced weapons that are ahead of the Japanese army. If these technological weapons can be put into use as much as possible, the most important thing is to unleash their power.  At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. Zhang Xinghan and others looked back and saw Guo Zhong walking in quickly, covered with dust.  He stood up and responded: "Commander, Chief of Staff, I have found out clearly. The Japanese commander who is in charge of Yingkou is named Okamura Neiji. He is the new deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. At the same time, there are two divisions of the Japanese army in Yingkou City.  , respectively the 114th Division and the 106th Division, the division leaders are Nakashimamura and Kurotsuchi Kentaro respectively. " "Who? Okamura Neiji?" Zhang Xinghan's face suddenly changed when he heard this.  &nbsp;"Commander, do you recognize this Okamura Neji?" Jiang Baili and others looked at Zhang Xinghan in confusion.  Zhang Xinghan quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know him, I'm just surprised. I have never heard of this person's name, but judging from the first encounter, this person must not be underestimated." "Just kidding, how could Zhang Xinghan, an old devil like Okamura Neji, possibly  I don’t know, although the Japanese promote him as a rare famous general among the senior Japanese generals in World War II, both in terms of leadership and command of operations, which is a bit exaggerated.  But based on this person’s performance in history, he can definitely be regarded as the best among Japan’s senior generals. At least at that time, no one in China could match him in terms of strategic vision or tactical command capabilities.  You must know that in less than two years in North China, this old Japanese suppressed the spread of the rapidly developing Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines.  And caused huge losses to it, which once brought the Anti-Japanese War behind enemy lines in North China to a low point.  On the frontal battlefield, whether it was the 11th Army commanded by the Wuhan Battle that was invincible and took the lead in capturing Hankou, or in several subsequent battles, it was always outnumbered and the enemy lost their armor and retreated steadily.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 236: Attack Again

    Therefore, Okamura Neji is definitely the most difficult opponent Zhang Xinghan has encountered since he led the war.  It’s not difficult to predict, based on this person’s performance in Yingkou.  If the Battle of Tongliao and later the Battle of Northern Manchuria or the Battle of Shenyang, the commander of the Japanese army would have been Neiji Okamura.  It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Xinghan to win so smoothly and easily.  Maybe, the situation in Northeast China will be another story now.  However, these are all ifs. Fortunately, Okamura Neji was sent to the Northeast too late. Now the Kwantung Army is basically gone, and the Northeast New Army is gaining momentum.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan has the absolute strength and the best chance to defeat his current and future rivals this time.  Jiang Baili nodded lightly and sighed: "Yes, this Okamura Neji is not ordinary. We must be very alert to deal with it." After Zhang Xinghan thought for a long time, he said: "Order to attack the 1st Division, 4th Division  The division was ready to respond and was responsible for feigning attacks from the west and south to attract and disperse the Japanese forces. I personally commanded the 9th Division and the 10th Division to take the lead in the main attack.  …Boom, boom, boom…” Over the forward positions of the Japanese 114th Division at Dashiqiao, dozens of Chinese fighter planes were circling and dropping bombs.  Aerial bombs roared down with a sharp and ear-piercing sound, causing violent explosions.  The entire Japanese army position was turned into a sea of ??flames.  At the same time, about six heavy artillery battalions with a total of 118 150mm heavy howitzers were also pouring artillery shells on the Japanese positions one after another.  The shelling and bombing went on for a full two hours, and the dense and fierce artillery fire plowed the Japanese position back and forth countless times.  The Japanese army’s positions were filled with the smell of scorched earth and gunpowder smoke filled the trenches.  In the artillery cave, countless wounded Japanese soldiers were wailing miserably.  "Hurry, hurry up!" More Japanese soldiers quickly came out of self-defense gun holes and other bunkers at the urging of their commanders.  At the same time, the 9th and 10th divisions of the ** were at an observation post in the joint attack position.  Seeing that the shelling and bombing had ended, Gao Chu asked Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, can we start the attack?" Zhang Xinghan put down the telescope slowly, turned to look at Gao Chu, Du Ting and others who were eager to try, and said with a sneer:  "There is no rush for the moment. Order the artillery group to fire again in five minutes. The Japanese will be caught off guard!" Gao Chu and Du Ting looked at each other.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Our bombing and shelling lasted for more than two hours. You all think that we should launch an attack, not to mention the Japanese? Now most of the Japanese should have just come out of the fortification bunkers where they were hiding, ready to attack us. At this time  If I order the artillery group to launch a sudden bombardment, I will definitely get unexpected results." "The commander is wise!" The two suddenly realized.  They all stood up and praised.  As Zhang Xinghan expected, five minutes later, most of the surviving Japanese soldiers had already left their bunkers, entered the trenches, set up their weapons and equipment, and were ready to fight.  At this moment, the sound of rapid artillery fire that made the scalps of the 114th Division numb was heard again in the sky.  Some low-level Japs officers didn't even have time to react before the dazzling fireballs crashed down on their positions with a harsh whistling sound.  Under the horrified gaze of countless Japanese soldiers.  There was a violent explosion.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a high-explosive shell fired from a 150mm howitzer landed in a Japanese foxhole.  The fire caused by the huge explosion immediately covered the entire foxhole, and four or five Japanese soldiers were blown away before they could even scream.  Such explosions were staged one after another in the Japanese positions, and this sudden bombardment lasted for more than half an hour before it ended.  The 102nd Infantry Regiment of the 127th Brigade was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.  In Yingkou City, the Japanese Army Headquarters.  "Your Excellency, General, I'm sorry, the Chinese army on the Dashiqiao battlefield is very cunning. They used artillery fire to attack the enemy's 102nd Infantry Regiment and caused great damage." A Japanese staff officer put down the phone and spoke to Kentaro Kurotsuchi and others.  Neji Okamura, who was discussing military affairs, saluted and reported.  "Urgent artillery attack?" Okamura Neji was slightly surprised when he heard this.  The Japanese staff officer immediately told Okamura Neiji and others what happened on the front line concisely and truthfully.  After listening, Kentaro Kurotsuchi was the first to speak and frowned: "The Shina people are really cunning!" Okamura Neiji said thoughtfully: "The Shina people just suffered a big loss from us. They will definitely not underestimate the enemy like they did in the morning.  ,The next step is the severe test we will really face." After saying that, Okamura Neji raised his head and ordered the staff officer: "?The 56th Infantry Regiment was ordered to immediately reinforce and replace the 102nd Regiment, and to defend the battlefield in front of Dashiqiao with all its strength. The 102nd Regiment withdrew and rested on standby.  " "Hai!  "The Japanese staff officer suddenly lowered his head and responded. He turned and walked towards the telephone. On the front line of the Dashiqiao battlefield, the shelling had just begun to extend. Zhang Xinghan ordered a powerful attack force consisting of two tank battalions and four infantry battalions to launch an attack on the Japanese position filled with artillery fire.  Nearly seventy No. 4 tanks lined up, crushing toward the Japanese position like a huge torrent of steel.  However, this time the two tank battalions were traveling at a very full speed, so slow that the infantry could easily keep a close distance with them to achieve the best effect of infantry-tank coordination.  The gaps between the tanks and behind the vehicles were almost crowded with infantry from the Northeastern New Army. Behind most of these infantry, there was a group of special soldiers.  They are the fire support troops carrying bazookas, mortars, and grenades.  A gust of breeze blew across the battlefield, blowing away a lot of gunpowder smoke and making the field of vision suddenly brighter.  The Japanese troops of the 56th Infantry Regiment, which had urgently replaced the 102nd Infantry Regiment, had already entered the position. Lying in the trenches, they could clearly see the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army coming slowly.  The tanks, the black tank gun barrels, and the black infantry were all frightening, and some Japanese soldiers began to become nervous involuntarily.  After all, many of the Japanese troops now consist of reserve veterans and new recruits who have not touched a gun for many years.  Although they have undergone complete formal military training, many of them are still young girls who have faced such a real and brutal actual battlefield.  " However, the Japanese officers at all levels are all veterans with combat experience. They are particularly calm. With them, the Japanese recruits can endure the pressure and fear in their hearts and continue to stay.  And fight against the Northeast New Army at all costs, otherwise they will never be able to stop the Northeast New Army's attack.  Soon, the offensive troops of the Northeastern New Army had entered within a thousand meters. At this moment.  Several Zero fighter jets suddenly flew up in the blue sky. Without a word, the Zero fighter jets immediately headed towards the Japanese position.  When it reaches a certain height, it immediately opens up all firepower and conducts ultra-low-altitude strafing on the Japanese positions.  "Ta-ta-tata-ta-ta" The harsh and intensive sound of machine guns and directional machine guns rang out, and hot and dazzling tongues of flame spurted out.  "Bang bang bangbeep beep" The enemy's position was hit with dirt flying, and some unlucky Japanese soldiers were unable to avoid it and were shot and fell down on the spot.  At this time, about seventy No. 4 tanks of the Northeastern New Army's offensive troops opened fire one after another.  All tank guns were replaced with white phosphorus bombs, and after a series of muffled bangs.  Dozens of white phosphorus bombs fell into the Japanese positions and exploded like brilliant fireworks.  Everywhere he went, he was caught in the flames. From time to time, a Japanese would be caught in the flames, roll on the ground, and then his whole body would be burned, and he would howl miserably.  Although white phosphorus bombs are extremely lethal, they are not very destructive to fortifications, so the shelling just now was basically not used.  All high-explosive bombs were used in order to destroy the Japanese defenses as much as possible to facilitate the subsequent attack.  Now that the distance was close, the Japanese fortifications were also shattered to pieces by the bombing. The Japanese soldiers in the trenches had no way to hide, and they were suddenly killed and injured by white phosphorus bombs.  Within a few minutes of the bombardment, they entered the range of the Japanese machine guns.  The Japanese machine gunners who were lucky enough to survive opened fire one after another.  At the same time, the parallel machine guns on the tanks also fired back.  The machine guns on both sides launched a fierce exchange of fire, and the dense bullets hit the tank armor with a clanking sound and sparks flying everywhere.  When the tank group guided the infantry to a distance of less than 100 meters from the Japanese trenches, the Japanese of the 56th Regiment immediately repeated the old plan.  After a deafening muffled sound, smoke grenades squeaked and smoked as they flew towards the attacking troops of the Northeastern New Army.  "Commander, look, the Japanese are starting to fire smoke grenades again." Gao Chu pointed at the front of the Northeast New Army observation post and said urgently.  Zhang Xinghan looked through the telescope without saying much. He had already done everything he could do before the attack. Now it depends on the performance of the attacking troops.  In order to improve the close-range heavy firepower of the attacking troops, he took out 300 bazooka grenade launchers from his watch and provided them to the 9th and 10th divisions of the ** for offensive use.  Soon, the attacking troops were completely shrouded in smoke.  Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope and said: "Order the artillery group to immediately launch an indiscriminate artillery fire attack on the rear of the Japanese position to suppress the Japanese artillery fire."Soon, not long after the harbor fell silent, the six artillery battalions that had replenished their shells started firing again. Balls of flames flew across the sky with a whistling sound and flew towards the rear of the Japanese position. Some Japanese artillerymen who had just pulled out their bunkers were preparing for shelling.  Seeing this, they were horrified, and they all ducked to avoid it. "Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded. For a moment, the ground behind the Japanese position was shaken. Many Japanese artillerymen were unable to hide, and even the people and artillery were blown to pieces.  Debris.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 237: Defeat the Japanese Army

    The Japanese artillery group was suppressed, but the infantry charge did not stop.  Some Japanese grenades and mortars that were lucky enough to survive fired some small-caliber grenades while the Northeast New Army offensive troops were shrouded in smoke.  The lower-level Japanese officers resolutely carried out the orders given by their superiors in advance.  Waving the command knife: "Attack! Attack!" A large number of Japanese soldiers immediately jumped out of the trenches with 38 rifles equipped with bayonets.  Some Japanese officers roared angrily, rushing out of the trench while waving their command swords: "Quick, quick, quick, charge up" In the smoke, the offensive troops of the Northeast New Army learned from the disastrous defeat, and they did not fall into panic again this time.  .  The tanks had stalled and stopped moving forward. All the officers and soldiers were squatting or lying on the sides of the tanks as much as possible to build defenses on the spot. Various light and heavy firepower consisting of general-purpose machine guns, submachine guns and Garand rifles were deployed in a very short period of time.  Ready within time.  The grenadiers and mortar crews calmly set up artillery behind the tanks.  The rocket soldiers carried each bazooka to the tank and got ready to launch relying on the tank.  Since the Japanese soldiers were basically silent when charging, and the tanks of the New Northeast Army had already stalled, the battlefield was surprisingly quiet.  Colonel Ma Mingyuan, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 9th Division who personally directed the attack on Duli, listened carefully and vaguely heard the footsteps of the Japanese charging troops.  After all, thousands of people are charging at the same time, and the sound of footsteps is inevitable unless they all approach slowly and quietly.  But this is impossible. For the Japanese army, speed is the most important. They must take advantage of the fact that the smoke has not dissipated and the Northeast New Army's sight is blocked and they are in panic. They must rush up as fast as possible and fight with them in close combat.  Take advantage of their hand-to-hand combat capabilities.  It can better offset the great threat of the Northeast New Army tanks.  However, this time the counterattack faced by the Japanese New Army in the Northeast, which was fully prepared, was destined to end in failure.  When Ma Mingyuan heard the chaotic footsteps of the Japanese, the Japanese soldiers had actually rushed into a distance of about fifty meters.  He made a prompt decision and personally held a flower machine gun in both hands and roared: "Hit me!" "Da da da" The roar of the flower machine machine was the order, and the infantry and tank machine gunners who had been waiting for a long time opened fire one after another.  The silent battlefield was filled with futile gunshots, and the dense tongues of flames made up of bullets were particularly dazzling in the smoke.  Rain of bullets flew into the group of Japanese soldiers like locusts. At a distance of fifty meters, all the weapons of the Northeastern New Army could give them the most violent and effective firepower.  The Japanese soldiers who were charging silently were shot and fell down one after another.  The enemy at the front was directly hit by the dense rain of bullets. His body was covered with blood holes and he could no longer die.  The infantry fired with their front legs, and the grenadiers, mortars, and rocket soldiers also fired with their rear legs.  "Boomboomboom" Small grenades fell into the group of Japanese soldiers with a harsh whistling sound, and violent explosions occurred.  Some Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces and bloody before they even had time to scream.  The hundreds of bazookas are even more spectacular, like meteors rushing into the enemy attack group.  Immediately afterwards, there was a brilliant explosion like fireworks, and the fire suddenly rose from the ground. Under the heat wave, the Japanese were blown away like a kite with a broken string, flying far away, and fell heavily to the ground.  Some of the Japanese officers who led the charge looked shocked. When they recovered, they quickly swung their command swords and shouted hysterically: "She's going to attack! Quick, she's going to attack!" They were almost beaten by the fierce firepower of the Northeastern New Army.  The dizzy Japanese soldiers came to their senses one after another, fell down, squatted half-crouched, raised their guns and fired tenaciously to fight back.  The grenadiers who followed the army and the mortars on the rear positions also opened fire.  In the fierce firefight, the Northeastern New Army officers and soldiers were killed from time to time, but more of the ones who fell were Japanese soldiers.  After all, the new officers and soldiers in Northeast China have tanks to support them, and their firepower is much stronger than that of the Japanese.  The firepower confrontation between the two sides lasted for about ten minutes. The Japanese officers tried several times to lead a forceful assault and break through the fifty-meter distance, but they were all blocked by the powerful and intensive firepower of the Northeastern New Army.  Every time there is a forced assault, an incalculable number of Japanese soldiers will fall one after another.  At this time, Yao Gong was doing his best, and a seemingly weak gust of wind blew, and the smoke dispersed in an instant.  The Japanese have suffered heavy losses and have reached the final critical moment.  As soon as his vision became clearer, Ma Mingyuan immediately made a decisive decision and waved his hand: "Brothers, rush!"To avenge my dead comrades, I and I rushed forward and killed the ruthless little devil!  " After saying this, he took the lead and jumped up and rushed forward. Thousands of infantrymen of the Northeastern New Army made deafening shouts of killing and followed him like water and rushed forward. "The tank soldiers  The tanks were also quickly restarted, and with the cooperation of the rocket soldiers, they roared forward to follow up. At this time, the Japanese offensive troops had reached the critical point of collapse. The charge of the Northeast New Army suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.  Under the intense firepower, the Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy losses fled one after another. No matter how many Japanese officers scolded them, the tank soldiers of the Northeastern New Army opened fire one after another, firing white phosphorus bombs.  The fleeing Japanese soldiers were swallowed up by the sea of ??fire before they could escape into the trench fortifications. Groups of new officers and soldiers from the Northeast took advantage of the situation and swarmed forward. Machine guns and submachine guns fired at them, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were shot one after another.  fell. The Japanese Army's 56th Infantry Regiment invested most of its main force in the previous attack. The Japanese Army Captain hurriedly ordered the remaining troops to counterattack, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce battle.  However, the stalemate was broken immediately after the rocket soldiers of the Northeast New Army arrived. The power of the Bazooka rocket launchers was once again exerted to its extreme. The stubborn Japanese were blown to pieces by the dense rockets, causing heavy casualties.  . The Northeastern New Army officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation and seized the outer positions defended by the 56th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army. Then they continued to attack the center of Dashiqiao Station. A rapid ringing of the phone at the Japanese Army headquarters prompted Okamura Ning.  The nerves that had just relaxed became tense again. Okamura Neji stretched out his hand to stop Kurotsuchi Kentaro, walked to the phone in person, and picked up the phone with a solemn face: "I am Okamura Neji.  " On the other end of the phone, the sound of gunfire, shouts of death and explosions could be faintly heard. The anxious voice of Nakashimamura, commander of the 114th Division, sounded: "Okamura-kun, something serious has happened. The smoke tactics have failed. The 56th Infantry  Most of the regiment has been wiped out, the Chinese army has now attacked the train station, and Dashiqiao is in danger!  "The main force of the 114th Division deployed at Dashiqiao is only the two infantry regiments of the 127th Brigade and the artillery regiment directly under the division. The two field regiments of the 128th Brigade are deployed from Dashiqiao to Daqinghe.  area. The 102nd Regiment has just been replaced and has not yet been supplemented by new troops. So far, the 127th Brigade has been basically crippled by the Northeast New Army. That's why Nakajima Village is so anxious to fight Okamura Neiji himself.  Call for help. “Nakajima-kun, please hold on, I will send reinforcements immediately.  "Okamura Neji thought for a while and hung up the phone. "Okamura-kun, how is the situation?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi, the commander of the 106th Division, asked hurriedly. Before Neji Okamura could answer, a Japanese communications soldier hurried in with a look of confusion. Before he could salute, he said: "General Okamura, division  Commander, it's not good, the smoke warfare method has been cracked by China, and the defense lines of Daliao River and Daqing River are all in danger!  " "Nani?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi was shocked when he heard this. The smoke combat method that he had regarded as a stroke of genius just now was cracked by China so quickly? "Okamura-kun, the defense line of Oishi Bridge is also in a hurry, right?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi turned to look at Okamura Neji and asked. "Yes.  "Okamura Neiji nodded expressionlessly. "Baga Yalu, how could this happen?  !  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi couldn't accept it and became furious. After his anger subsided, Kentaro Kurotsuchi turned to Okamura Neji, who had walked to the map and was meditating, with red eyes and asked loudly: "Okamura-kun, how should we deal with it now? What can you do?  The way?  " Okamura Neiji pondered for a long time, then turned around and said calmly: "Send orders to all front-line units to cover the retreat alternately and retreat to the city wall!  " "Nani?  Retreat to the city wall?  Do you mean to abandon all positions outside the city?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi's pupils tightened for a while. "Yes, the smoke tactics are useless. It is a waste of troops to stick to the outside of the city and it is meaningless. It is the most correct choice to gather the precious troops into the city as soon as possible.  "Okamura Neiji nodded calmly. "But, Okamura-kun, once we give up the outer defense line, the Chinese army will surround the entire Yingkou City. This time is different from the last time. Gaizhou has been captured by the Chinese.  By then we won't even have anywhere to evacuate.  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi said anxiously. "There is a saying in China that retreat is the basis of advancement. Byakuya China has an air force, a powerful artillery group and ground tanks.To defeat the chariot troops, we can only avoid their edge.  As long as we retain most of our effective forces, we will still have a chance to counterattack at night to regain the position Bai Yao lost.  As for the breakout and evacuation, Mr. Black Earth, if the Battle of Yingkou fails, the entire Manchuria will be lost, and the Kwantung Army will be completely annihilated. Do you think that as Yaohuang's ministers and an imperial infiltrator, we still need to breakout?  "Okamura Neiji looked at Kentaro Kurotsuchi with deep meaning as he finished his last sentence. Kentaro Kurotsuchi nodded silently, agreeing with Okamura Neiji's decision. Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the communication troops: "Order the entire army  Withdraw into the city, hold on to the end, and fight to the end for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, and for His Majesty the Emperor Yao!  " "Hai!  "The Japanese communications soldier also lowered his head suddenly with a decisive look on his face, then turned around and left quickly.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 238: Troubles within the Guan

    "Commander, Commander Ma reported that the Japanese have retreated from Dashiqiao, and our army is seizing Dashiqiao." Inside the joint headquarters of Duli's 9th and 10th divisions.  Gao Chu reported to Zhang Xinghan with uncontrollable excitement in his tone.  "What about other directions?" Zhang Xinghan asked calmly without being too surprised.  "Duli's 4th Division and 1st Division also reported that the enemy in front of them has gradually retreated to Yingkou. Currently, various units are seizing Japanese positions and pursuing them." Gao Chudao.  "Commander, it seems that the Japanese are planning to retreat to Yingkou City and rely on the city to fight with us." After listening to Gao Chu's report, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said.  "What do you think, chief of staff?" Zhang Xinghan turned around and asked.  "After the Japanese army abandoned the Daqing River defense line, we have been able to successfully open up connections with Duli's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd troops. Now we have two options before us. First, concentrate our superior forces and continue to besiege Yingkou City.  Completely solve this problem. Second, deploy a small number of troops in Yingkou to contain the Japanese army in Yingkou. The main force will continue to move south to Wafangdian, combine with the 2nd and 3rd divisions and armored forces, and start a decisive battle with the main force of the Kwantung Army. As long as we defeat the Kwantung Army.  The main force of the army. Then the entire Liaodong Peninsula will be in our possession. It is meaningless for Okamura Neiji to persist in Yingkou. He will definitely give up Yingkou. " Jiang Baili paused at this and said: "Be conservative.  Generally speaking, the first method is safer, because our army in Wafangdian has not reached the point where it cannot hold on. As long as we can capture Yingkou City before the Japanese army breaks through Wafangdian, victory will still belong to us.  The risk of the two methods lies in how many troops can be left to contain the Japanese army. Okamura Neiji is not a good person. If we are not careful, our retreat may be cut off by him again. Therefore, which method to choose.  , please make the decision personally." Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Xinghan, waiting for him to make a decision.  Zhang Xinghan weighed the pros and cons and thought for a long time.  Finally he said: "Although the first method seems safe, it is actually more difficult than the second method." "Oh?" Jiang Baili and others were a little surprised, looking at each other and then at Zhang Xinghan.  Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "It's very simple, because the opponents in Yingkou City are more difficult to deal with than we thought. Since he dares to give up the outer defense line easily, it means that he is very knowledgeable about the upcoming street battles to defend the city.  Confidence, that is to say, Okamura Neiji has made proper arrangements in the city. Therefore, I dare to conclude that the difficulty of siege at Yingkou is no less than the decisive battle with the main force of the Kwantung Army in Wafangdian." Everyone heard this.  Jiang Baili nodded casually, but after nodding, he raised his concerns.  "Commander, you all have a hidden danger that we must take precautions against." Zhang Xinghan and others looked at him with suspicion.  Jiang Baili reached out and tapped the map and said: "The Northeastern Army entrenched in the Pingjin area." "Zhang Xueliang?" Zhang Xinghan was thoughtful.  "Yes, now our main forces are used to deal with the Kwantung Army, and the remaining troops in Northern Manchuria have to guard against the Russians. The defense force in the Jinzhou area is already extremely weak, and we cannot rule out the possibility of Marshal Zhang taking advantage of the situation and retaking the three provinces outside the Pass!" Jiang Baili said.  "He Zhang Xiaoliu dares to risk the disapproval of the world and stab us in the back? How is his behavior different from the traitors of the Han Dynasty?" Gao Chu was very resentful of Zhang Xueliang's escape without fighting, as a former member of the Northeast Army.  The respect I had for the young marshal in my heart had already been wiped out by the gunshots of the September 18th Incident.  Jiang Baili smiled calmly and said: "In the face of absolute interests, there is nothing that we dare not do. Besides, Marshal Zhang can send his troops out of the pass under the banner of assisting us to regain our lost territory. Most of the hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops outside the pass are from officers to soldiers  But they are all serious soldiers from the Northeast. If Zhang Xueliang really has this intention, he will definitely get the full support and loyalty of his soldiers. There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. This sentence also applies to us.  All the local warlords in the pass, even the central army in Nanjing! "Jiang Baili's words were very reasonable. Gao Chu, Du Ting and others were silent after hearing this, and all looked at Zhang Xinghan, who had been frowning in thought.  Jiang Baili continued: "In Baili's humble opinion, if our army continues to besiege Yingkou, on the one hand, it can completely eliminate our worries about going south to Lushun, and on the other hand, we can always be alert to the movements of the Northeastern Army in the pass. If the Northeastern Army really breaks out of the pass,  If there are signs, we can return to Jinzhou in the shortest possible time without falling into a pincer attack. On the contrary, if we send the main force south to fight the Kwantung Army, and the Northeast Army happens to leave the border at this time, I will stay to contain Yingkou.The troops of the i Army are bound to fall into a situation where they are attacked from both sides.  By then my main force will be unable to escape, and the situation is likely to develop to an point of no return.  "Chief of Staff, do you mean that Zhang Xueliang will join forces with the Japanese again to deal with us?"  "Du Ting looked at Jiang Baili in surprise. "It's very possible that the Zhang family and his son were able to gain a foothold in the Northeast and eventually become the kings of the Northeast thanks to their quarrel with the Japanese.  Although the Central Plains War and the invasion of troops to maintain unification were a good shining point, it was only a temporary compromise on political interests and just followed the trend.  In fact, the Northeast Army is still a duli kingdom. Chairman Chiang needs his Northeast Army to contain the warlords in North China.  He needs the political and diplomatic support of the Nanjing government and is just using each other.  However, he is far worse than Zhang Zuolin in dealing with the Japanese.  Coupled with the fact that he was defeated by Lao Maozi in the Middle East Road incident three years ago, it is not surprising that Zhang Xueliang did not dare to resist during the September 18th Incident.  "Jiang Baili said. "Then what should we do?  There are at least more than 200,000 troops of the Northeastern Army in the pass. If Zhang Xueliang is determined to leave the pass, then we may be trapped in a two-front battle.  " Gao Chu looked at Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili with a worried look. "Although our Northeastern New Army has repeatedly made military exploits since the September 18th Incident and has gained a lot of popularity among the people, Zhang Xueliang's more than 200,000 Northeastern Army is the same Northeastern army as ours.  .  Once they come out with the slogan of expelling the Japanese invaders and regaining lost territory, they will still be able to get the support of the majority of the Northeast people, which will be quite detrimental to us.  Because they are not the Japanese, with the help of the people, they will probably be more difficult to deal with than the Japanese.  "Jiang Baili analyzed with the same worried look. Zhang Xinghan nodded without comment. Jiang Baili's analysis was correct. In the original history, many anti-Japanese guerrillas were active on the battlefield behind enemy lines. However, they suffered heavy losses in the subsequent civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.  , or even the whole army was wiped out. The reason is that the Japanese army at the end of the Anti-Japanese War was able to get the support of many people, especially the landlord class. Unlike the Japanese army who fought in non-local areas, the guerrilla troops were able to defeat the Japanese invaders in the first place.  The reason why they survived the brutal raids again and again is because the broad masses of the people are supporting them, overtly and covertly, to block the devils and protect them. However, Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army may also face this situation once this happens.  , the Northeastern Army that left the border is indeed a greater threat than the current Kwantung Army. If the Liaodong Peninsula has been completely recovered by this time, Zhang Xinghan will not be afraid of him even if he goes out in force. At worst, he can use his strength to fight in Jinzhou.  With the absolute advantage of the new Northeastern Army, Zhang Xinghan is absolutely sure to defeat Zhang Xiaoliu and force him to retreat to the pass. But at the moment, there are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula. Once the two Northeastern armies fight.  The cleverness of Okamura Neiji and others will never miss the opportunity. The most terrifying thing is that with Zhang Xueliang's hatred for himself, he is very likely to collude with the Japanese again to join forces to deal with the Northeastern New Army. Therefore, Zhang Xinghan is trapped.  In deep contemplation, the entire South Manchurian Northeast New Army has captured two-thirds. It is obviously impossible for Zhang Xinghan to give up at this time. After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan will never give up.  Finally, he made a decision and said: "After careful consideration, I have decided that Duli's 4th Division will immediately withdraw to Jinzhou and closely monitor the movements of the Northeastern Army in Guan Nei. The combat mission in the direction of the Daliao River will be taken over by Duli's 10th Division.  " "Commander, do you plan to continue the siege of Yingkou, or?  "Jiang Baili asked eagerly. "Continue to besiege Yingkou. As long as we capture Yingkou, everything will be safe!  "Zhang Xinghan knows that although Zhang Xueliang still has more than 200,000 troops, it is impossible to send them all out, so as long as he eliminates the Japanese army in Yingkou and relieves his worries. " He will have the initiative in this battle, and the three divisions will  The strength is enough to withstand the Japanese counterattack, and the remaining three divisions are enough to deal with the Northeast Army that may leave the border. "But, Commander, there are at least 30,000 Japanese in Yingkou City, and only three divisions are needed to besiege.  Will it be a little less?  "Gao Chu was a little worried. "It's quite a lot. Even if there are only three divisions, we have an advantage over the Japanese army in terms of strength.  One thing you should not forget is that the people in Yingkou City have been slaughtered by the Japanese, and there is not a single Chinese in the city.  We don’t need to have any scruples when attacking the city, so no matter what dragnet Okamura Neji has laid in the city. ?We all use a fighting method, which is to defeat ten groups with one force, using our absolute artillery fire and air force superiority to gradually advance, even if the entire Yingkou City is leveled!  "Zhang Xinghan said with confidence. "Now the Northeast New Army has no worries about ammunition and fuel, so even if it uses artillery shells and bombs, it can capture Yingkou City. It's just a matter of time.  I have to admit that Jiang Baili's strategic vision is quite first-rate. As he expected, Zhang Xinghan's new Northeast Army's southward campaign was in full swing. An army of hundreds of thousands swept across the Kwantung Army like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.  In the Manchu area, Marshal Zhang, who had been sitting on the sidelines, finally couldn't sit still. (To be continued

    The Forbidden City in Peking, the residence of the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army Army, Navy and Air Force.  In Zhang Xueliang's study, Rong Jin, the then Chief of Staff of the Northeast Army who had a grudge against Zhang Xinghan for killing his son, was sparing no effort to persuade the hesitant Marshal Zhang.  "Young Marshal, the situation has been investigated clearly. Now the Japanese, under the leadership of Okamura Neji, have captured the camp entrance. Zhang Xinghan, the main force of the rebel army has been forced to return to reinforcements. The main force of the Kwantung Army took advantage of the situation to counterattack. The two sides are in a stalemate.  The consumption stage. If our army can get out of the border at this time, we will definitely be able to regain our country in one fell swoop and reap the benefits!" Zhang Xueliang looked hesitant and said, "He Sheng, Zhang Xinghan is at war with the Japanese after all.  , If we rashly start a war with them, I'm afraid it will have adverse political consequences." "Young Marshal, this is easier." Rong Zhen said immediately: "We can send troops in the name of going out to fight against the Japanese invaders and regain the lost territory.  As soon as we stand on the basis of national justice," Seeing that Zhang Xueliang was still hesitant, Rong Zhen said anxiously: "Young Marshal, these days, the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser. As long as we eliminate the Northeastern New Army and the remaining rebels.  Kwantung Army, control the public opinion. We are the ones who defeated the Japanese and regained the lost territory. What do you have to worry about? This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will never come back! " "Zhang Xinghan, this bastard, has more than 200,000 troops in his hands now.  The air force is well-equipped and well-equipped, so we might not be able to defeat them alone, right?" Zhang Xueliang said worriedly.  "Young Marshal, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not. It's humiliating duty!" Rong Jin suddenly said with a hint.  "Say!" Zhang Xueliang looked at him and waved his hand.  "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has a saying that is not often said: To fight against foreign aggression, one must first settle the internal affairs! This sentence is suitable for our Northeast now. In the current situation, the Northeast New Army formed by Zhang Xinghan has become the largest internal force in our Northeast Army.  If we want to regain the Northeast, we must first eradicate this internal trouble. As the young commander said, Zhang's army has grown rapidly in recent years, and our current strength alone cannot defeat it.  "But now we have a good opportunity." "What opportunity?" Zhang Xueliang asked urgently.  "Join the Japanese Kwantung Army and attack the Northeastern New Army from both sides!" Rong Jin put it bluntly.  "Unite the Kwantung Army?" Zhang Xueliang frowned when he heard this, and immediately shook his head and said: "In this way, if the matter is exposed, we will really become the Han Dynasty and national sinners, and we will be reviled by forty million people!  What's more, my father died at the hands of the Japanese. Han Qing wished he could kill his enemy and avenge his father. "Young Commander, you can only be a man who can bend and judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons. Now he joins forces with the Japanese."  The situation requires it. What’s more, we are not really treasonous and surrendering to the enemy. We are just using the Japanese to achieve our goal of eliminating internal troubles. You must know that the commander-in-chief also used the Japanese today. Why can’t you learn from this, young commander?  , as long as we regain control of the three northeastern provinces, and the Japanese Kwantung Army has already been severely weakened by the Northeast New Army, we will have the opportunity to defeat the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop, averting the shame of the September 18th Incident, and even avenging the commander-in-chief.  Yes." Rong Jin tried his best to persuade.  "ButI finally feel that this matter is inappropriate." Zhang Xueliang was undecided.  "Young Marshal, you must feel embarrassed. You can just nod and agree to this matter. Everything is handled by a humble person, and no news will be leaked. After the matter is completed, we will use the Japanese to operate, and all problems will be solved!" Rong Rong!  Jingdao.  I thought about it for a long time.  Zhang Xueliang finally nodded and said: "Remember, when negotiating with the Japanese, you are not allowed to agree to any unreasonable demands. Otherwise, I would rather stand still and wait for the Northeastern New Army to drive the Kwantung Army into the sea, and then come out to compete with them in an honest and fair manner!" "Yes!  "Rong Jin agreed happily, immediately saluted and turned to leave.  Yingkou City, Japanese Army Headquarters.  Okamura Neji is gathering with Kurotsuchi Kentaro, Nakashimamura and others to discuss the next defensive matters.  A Japanese communications adjutant walked in mysteriously, came to Okamura Neiji, and whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency, General, the latest emergency call has been transferred from Dalian." "Oh? What are you doing?" Okamura Neiji  Somewhat curious.  "Top-secret documents, general, please go to the communications room to reveal them personally!" the communications adjutant lowered his head and said.  Upon hearing this, Okamura Neji nodded apologetically to Kurotsuchi Kentaro and Nakashimamura, and said: "Two generals, I'll excuse you for a moment." As the adjutant came to the communication room, Okamura Neji handed over the printed copy  High-level top-secret messages marked top secret were opened.  After reading it, Okamura NejiAt this moment, his brows relaxed, and a proud sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Yo Xi, there is a turning point in this battle." "General, what should we do?" asked the Japanese adjutant.  "Call back to your Excellency, Commander, and please agree to the other party's request no matter what. As long as they are willing to send troops, everything will be easy to negotiate." Okamura Neiji said.  "Hai!" the Japanese adjutant suddenly lowered his head and responded.  ????……………………… Zhang Xinghan has moved his headquarters here in order to personally direct the project at Dashiqiao.  "Commander, Duli's 10th Division is in place, and the main force of Duli's 4th Division has withdrawn to the west bank of the Daliao River and is retreating to Jinzhou. All siege troops have been prepared and can attack at any time." Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Yes!" Zhang Xinghan nodded, stared at the map, and said solemnly: "Order, the Air Force, the artillery group to open fire immediately, and carry out indiscriminate coverage and bombing of the camp entrance! Each division is ready for battle. After the artillery bombardment is completed, from the four  The direction is to advance into the city at the same time!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili agreed, turned around and picked up the phone and started to convey the order.  A moment later, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces from the Northeastern New Army began to roar again, pouring tens of thousands of various artillery shells onto Yingkou City.  Half an hour later, various bombers from the First and Second Flying Groups of the Air Force arrived, especially dozens of Stuka dive bombers, which began flying at ultra-low altitudes.  Carpet bombing of Yingkou City.  The entire city of Yingkou turned into a sea of ??flames in less than an hour.  Big explosions that shook the earth and mountains rang out one after another in the city, the sound was deafening.  Large mushroom clouds of smoke and fire rose into the sky.  The buildings and houses in the city turned into ruins one after another. Many Japanese soldiers hiding inside were instantly reduced to ashes or were buried alive.  The air force's bombing was limited by the range of ammunition and lasted less than an hour.  The bombardment lasted for two full hours, and the intensive and powerful artillery fire almost reduced the entire city to rubble.  The buildings in the area close to the city wall were basically razed to the ground.  After the artillery bombardment ended, the attack troops of the 1st, 9th, and 10th divisions of the Northeastern New Army, totaling about three regiments, began to pour into the city from the incomplete city walls in all directions.  ?Cooperating closely with the tanks and armored units, they began to advance into the city.  The main offensive force of the First Division was personally commanded and led by Niu Erzhu, the deputy division commander and head of the First Regiment.  Attacking from two directions in the southeast of the city, they quickly penetrated into the hinterland of the east and south areas of the city.  As the commander, Niu Erzhu set up his temporary headquarters on an armored vehicle and basically moved forward with the attacking troops.  In Niu Erzhu’s words, I have to hear the guns and artillery of the attacking troops at all times.  As the advance progressed, the Japanese resistance became more and more tenacious.  The streets were filled with blown-out and charred roof beams, bricks and other debris. Eighty percent of the buildings on both sides of the streets had been changed beyond recognition, and broken walls and ruins could be seen everywhere.  “The sparks on the beams of some bombed-out houses were still burning and black smoke was rising.  On the street, two Northeastern New Army No. 4 tanks were roaring forward, crushing and smashing all the waste on the ground wherever they went.  "The two tanks were followed by about dozens of heavily armed Northeastern New Army soldiers, several of whom were carrying bazooka rocket launchers, which looked particularly eye-catching.  Each No. 4 tank has two vehicle-mounted machine guns. One machine gun is parallel to the barrel, and the other is mounted on the roof of the vehicle. It can be used for air defense and can rotate 360 ??degrees horizontally to ensure the safety of the flanks around the tank.  The machine gunner on the roof of the car was very alert at the moment, turning his head from time to time to observe the ruins of buildings on both sides of the silent street.  There were loud gunshots from other directions from time to time.  The soldiers following the tank were also very vigilant. They were divided into two groups, each raising their guns to guard both sides of the street.  Suddenly, there was a gunshot, and a soldier carrying a bazooka fell down.  This bullet flew out of nowhere, and the soldiers were frightened and frightened. The tank machine gunner turned his gun and began to fire at the inconspicuous ruins on both sides of the street.  "Da da da!" The sound of intensive gunshots rang out, breaking the tranquility of the street.  The two tongues of fire were like death's scythes, sweeping along both sides of the street. Wherever they went, dirt flew, mud fell, and sparks flew everywhere.  After sweeping back and forth a few times, the ruins of buildings on both sides of the street were filled with dust and smoke, and then we stopped.  "Everyone, be careful!" A second lieutenant platoon leader stood up from the side of the rocket soldier who had died.A sad reminder.  Immediately, he waved his hand: "Keep going!" After saying that, he squatted down again, picked up the Rocket Soldier's bazooka, and carried it on his shoulders.  The tank moved forward less than twenty meters, and two "pop-pop" gunshots rang out again.  The target of this Japanese sneak attack was no longer the infantry, but the machine gunners who had just launched a crazy fire sweep in retaliation. The two vehicle-mounted machine gunners on the roof of the tank were shot in the head by the Japanese at almost the same time.  The corpse fell naked inside the tank.  "Damn it, the little devil is at six o'clock, give me a beating!" The second lieutenant platoon leader had sharp eyes and was on guard, and immediately shouted sternly.  Dozens of soldiers opened fire violently in the six o'clock direction, and there was a loud burst of gunfire.  ps: After a few days of silence, it’s time to break out and pay off debts. Brothers, please look at tomorrow’s update.  (To be continued…

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 240: The Northeast Army’s Departure

    The second lieutenant platoon leader took advantage of the fire cover of his subordinates to quickly pick up the rocket launcher and aimed at a Japanese fire bunker on the right.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a high-explosive bomb hit the Japanese bunker, and a violent explosion occurred immediately.  The Japanese light machine gun inside misfired on the spot.  As soon as the blow hit, the second lieutenant platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs: "Bazooka, give me a blast on that son of a bitch!" "Swish, swish, swish" The enemy's retaliatory fire came as promised. The second lieutenant platoon leader is a veteran with strong skills.  He rolled on the spot and came to the back of a tank.  The bullet hit the place where he had been standing, causing a cloud of smoke.  “Two people go up, fire up the vehicle-mounted machine gun again, and hit me hard!” the second lieutenant platoon leader shouted at his subordinates, holding up his pistol.  The two riflemen immediately put their rifles behind them, and under the cover of their companions, they quickly climbed onto the No. 4 tank.  "The two silent vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns soon burst out with astonishing lethality again. The two fire chains composed of bullets were extremely dazzling, sweeping towards the Japanese hiding places on both sides of the street.  The dense rain of bullets hit the Japanese hiding place, causing dirt to fly and smoke to fill the air.  Three Japanese soldiers hiding behind were hit by bullets and fell down on the spot.  At this time, other Japanese soldiers suddenly threw out several cantaloupe grenades, and violent explosions occurred one after another.  In the pungent gunpowder smoke, several Northeastern New Army soldiers were killed on the spot as they were unable to escape the bombing.  The two No. 4 tanks finally turned their muzzles and began bombarding the Japanese ambush point in the distance.  Several rocket soldiers also calmed down from the initial panic, carrying rocket launchers and relying on tanks, began to fight back.  The infantrymen used general-purpose machine guns, rifles and submachine guns to form a dense firepower network, desperately suppressing the Japanese to cover the rocket soldiers.  After a burst of shelling.  The Japanese in ambush were all killed and wounded, and the gunfire gradually stopped. ………… Beiping City.  "Young Marshal, the things have been done and the troops will be dispatched today." Rong Zhen walked into the living room and stood up to salute.  Due to the negotiations between the two parties, Rong Jin basically reported to Zhang Xueliang for instructions in real time.  It was completed by his remote control.  Therefore, Zhang Xueliang knows the specific contents of the negotiation.  Zhang Xueliang showed a sneer and said: "I have ordered He Lichong and Li Shusen to lead the two ** brigades to leave the customs first. The main follow-up force is gathering at Shanhaiguan Yidai, with He Zhuguo and Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief. They are fully responsible for the customs clearance." "What?  ? Our army has left the border?" Rong Jing looked at Zhang Xueliang in surprise.  "Yes, since you have decided to leave the border, you can't be sloppy. I still understand the principle of speed and speed!" Zhang Xueliang said proudly.  "Young Marshal is wise and I admire my humble position. Now the New Northeast Army is in a stalemate with the Kwantung Army. The main forces are restrained by the Japanese. It is the most appropriate time for us to leave the border!" Rong Jing quickly lowered his head without blushing.  Flattery.  "I have informed Zhang Zuoxiang, He Zhuguo and others of the specific combat deployment. To put it bluntly, the three northeastern provinces are our back garden. No one is more familiar with them than us in the three northeastern provinces!" Zhang Xueliang's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness and pride.  .  “Falcon, Falcon. Is there anything unusual?” A pilot said into the radio in a BF109 fighter plane over Shanhaiguan.  There were some rustling noises from the walkie-talkie from time to time, and soon, a slightly hoarse voice came: "Falcon report, no abnormality, repeat, no abnormality, over!" "Return to flight! Falcon!" "Copy that!"  Several cruisers hovered in Shanhaiguan, and the fighter planes over Jinzhou began to return.  The night is about to fall.  They must return to base before dark.  It gets dark earlier in the spring in the Northeast, unlike in the summer when the time is late and the sky is still bright.  Around 5:30 in the evening, the sky was already gray, and the gate of Shanhaiguan City, which had been closed for almost two years, slowly opened.  Groups of Northeastern officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition stretched along the street to the end.  The leading major officer was a little excited. He stood on a military vehicle and raised his arms and said angrily: "Brothers, we have shouldered too many humiliations in the past two years. Today, the opportunity to avenge our shame has finally come!"  Shanhaiguan, annihilate the Japanese invaders! Recover my hometown, save my elders! "Recover my hometown, save my elders!" "Recover my hometown, save my elders!"  plan??The Northeastern officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and soon the officers and soldiers gathered on the street roared in unison.  The huge sound resounded throughout Shanhaiguan City. Since the September 18th Incident, these regular soldiers of the Northeast Army have been thinking about this moment all the time.  Today, the star and the moon have finally arrived. The anger, humiliation, and unwillingness that have been suppressed for a long time all burst out at this moment.  Two dazzling white lights suddenly came from a distance, followed by the roar of the motor from far to near.  A military jeep came at lightning speed, and a regiment-level officer jumped out of the car. In the dark night, you couldn't see how gloomy his face was.  He just pointed at the previous major officer and shouted angrily: "Lin Ziheng, get the fuck down here." Lin Zihan, who took the lead in raising his arms and shouting, jumped down enthusiastically and faced the regiment-level officer with an excited and smiling face.  Coming up, I was about to salute.  Before he could say the word "regiment seat", he was kicked to the ground by a regiment-level officer.  “Damn it, who asked you to encourage brothers to shout slogans here?” The regiment-level officer was furious and cursed.  The major officer was a little shocked. He looked at his regiment leader with a blank expression and said: "Regiment leader, you are about to leave the prison. I am humble enough to lead everyone to shout a few slogans to boost morale and military morale. I don't know what's wrong?" "What's wrong?"  Isn't that right? There is a strict order from above. You need to be careful when leaving customs this time. Remember not to expose your whereabouts. It's better for you. If you lead a team and shout some fucking slogan here at night, your whereabouts will be exposed. Don't talk about you. I have to follow you.  I can't eat anymore and walk around!" The regiment-level officer's face was ashen, if he hadn't thought that the person in front of him was an old subordinate who had been with him for many years.  Based on his character, he might have drawn his gun and died long ago, or he might have been sent to the Military Justice Department.  The major officer didn't know about this military order. He stood up and stood aside, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Most of the areas outside the pass have been recovered by the Northeastern New Army. The Japanese have now retreated to the Liaodong Peninsula. I really don't know.  Why did the superiors ask us to march carefully? Are we still planning to attack Jinzhou? " Neither the major officer nor the regiment-level officer knew what the former meant, and the latter shouted with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense, as a soldier, execute  That’s the military order!” “Okay, let’s get on the road!” “Yingkou City.”  After a day of fierce fighting, the sound of guns and artillery finally stopped, but the city was full of flames left after explosions or bombings, which looked so dazzling in the dark night.  After a day of fierce fighting, the main attacking troops of the three divisions of the Northeast New Army suffered heavy casualties and advanced very fast.  But soon the Japanese counterattack and infiltration troops will appear behind their occupied areas.  The situation of the two sides has become intertwined. You are surrounded by me, and you are surrounded by me. If the rear is unstable, it is impossible for the attacking troops to attack the center of the city, which is the core of the Japanese defense. ? Same.  It is not easy to evacuate everyone from the city. With our own troops in the city, the air force's bombing will be greatly reduced.  And what Okamura Nei wanted most was this effect, in order to enhance the sense of crisis for the Northeastern Army's attacking troops who entered the city.  This old devil even sent several groups of elite troops to fight back against them after nightfall.  Therefore, the Northeast New Army headquarters in Dashiqiao seems to be very busy at the moment.  The communication soldiers shuttled back and forth between the war room and the communication room in an endless stream.  In the war room, the faces of Zhang Xinghan and others had become extremely solemn. In front of them was a detailed battle map of Yingkou City.  There were also many urgent messages from the signal corps.  Zhang Xinghan did not let the signal soldiers take them away, but kept them one by one. Jiang Baili and others did not know why. In fact, Zhang Xinghan himself did not know why, maybe he did it subconsciously.     because.  His mind was completely occupied with the idea of ??how to defeat the enemy.  "Commander, the progress of the battle at Yingkou City has exceeded our expectations and has turned into a war of attrition that is most unfavorable to us. We cannot continue fighting like this, otherwise this place will become a meat grinder and reduce our and the Japanese army's effective strength.  Wring it in a little and consume it." Seeing Zhang Xinghan's silence, Jiang Baili expressed his concern.  Zhang Xinghan didn't know, "How about we order all the siege troops to withdraw? Tomorrow, we will use our air and artillery superiority to bomb and shell the camp entrance as much as possible. After inflicting a lot of damage on the enemy, we can attack again!" Jiang Baili suggested.  Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly when he heard this: "Chief of Staff, you have forgotten that we can only win the battle of Yingkou quickly, time is not waiting for me! If there is enough time, we don't need to attack the city at all, just encircle it without fighting, and use us  The air force and artillery groups carry out daily fire strikes, without anyEven a little kid who has been here for half a month will definitely not be able to bear it.  If we withdraw the siege troops, with our assault capabilities, it will naturally not be a problem. However, one night is enough for the Japanese to regain the lost ground and redeploy their troops in disguise.  In this way, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has returned to the original point. All our efforts today will be in vain. Tomorrow's attack will have to start all over again.  In a word, the devils can afford it, but we can’t afford it!  " Jiang Baili nodded noncommittally, frowned sadly: "Then what should we do?  " In terms of strategic vision and overall overall planning, Zhang Xinghan may be slightly inferior to Jiang Baili. After all, this man has experienced the melee of the Chinese Communist Party and is an extraordinary military strategist. But when it comes to tactical application and adventurous spirit, Zhang Xinghan is stronger.  After all, Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler, and he has nearly a century more historical knowledge than him, including classic battles in various subsequent wars. Zhang Xinghan came up with a very adventurous method.  . He patted the table and said solemnly: "I have an idea.  "    "any solution?  "Jiang Baili was quite surprised. "Order all attacking troops to attack throughout the night!  " "Attack?"  " "Yes, attack at all costs"! Zhang Xinghan nodded firmly. PS: Today is the 21st. As usual, my royalties should have been due for half a month, but unfortunately, it is still  Not yet. I feel a little disappointed. There is no news today. I just bought a mobile phone this month.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 241: Fighting

    Zhang Xinghan had just made up his mind to attack with all his strength, and the order had just been conveyed to all the troops in the city. An urgent message arrived almost at the same time as gunfire broke out again in the city.  Chief of Staff Jiang Baili was the first to touch the telegram. After reading it, his face suddenly became more solemn than ever before.  Since working with Jiang Baili, Zhang Xinghan has never seen such dignity. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Two rounds and one year older than himself, almost all the men who are his father's equals are just like him, Zhang Xinghan.  With strategic planning, thousands of troops and horses are under control, and the victory can be won thousands of miles away while talking and laughing.  Sensing something was wrong with Jiang Baili's face, Zhang Xinghan asked with concern and seriousness: "Chief of Staff, what happened?" A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Baili's mouth. I don't know if it was because the Northeast New Army came out of the border, and the two troops  Is it because armies with the same origin are about to fight against each other, and I feel sad and regretful, or is it because I am completely disheartened by the current local warlords in China.  Of course, this is not the case for Zhang Xinghan, an emerging warlord who has no background, no qualifications, no qualifications, and relies solely on his own bloody battles.  On the contrary, despite feeling sad, he became more determined to help the young man in front of him achieve something great.  Perhaps, at this moment, in his eyes, the unparalleled hero who can save the country and the nation from dire straits is none other than the young man in front of him, who is not much older than his own children.  In fact, he is already a famous hero.  After Zhang Xinghan received the message, his expression was stunned, but he quickly returned to normal.  Although Zhang Xinghan had expected this, he really didn’t expect Zhang Xiaoliu to make such a determination so quickly.  Jiang Baili did not speak, but looked at Zhang Xinghan quietly.  Waiting for him to make this decision which is not easy.  Both of them knew very well that the Northeastern Army's departure from the border suddenly made the battle situation that was originally a sure chance of victory suddenly unpredictable.  A little carelessness may lead to a disastrous defeat that annihilates the entire army.  Without too much hesitation, Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "Chairman Chiang has a saying that I would like to borrow." "What words?" Jiang Baili asked.  "In order to fight against the foreign, we must first settle the domestic situation! If nothing else, the Northeastern New Army may be more familiar with the Northeast than we are. Especially every plant and tree in Liaoning. If we don't block them before they penetrate deep into our empty rear,  If we rush back to the pass, our connection with Northern Manchuria is likely to be cut off, and we will fall into an irreversible situation," Zhang Xinghan explained.  "Since the commander has seen so thoroughly, I wonder what specific measures the commander has?" Jiang Baili asked again. It is obvious that the main force of the Northeast New Army is currently contained in the Liaodong Peninsula by the Japanese army.  The available troops were pitifully small, and Jiang Baili was looking forward to how Zhang Xinghan planned to deal with Zhang Xiaoliu, who seemed to be the same family as him five hundred years ago.  " Two completely different young people are both well-known in China at this time, but their fame is completely opposite.  As the most popular young talent during the Republic of China, Zhang Xiaoliu had a decisive influence in the military and political circles and had no reason not to hate Zhang Xinghan.  His presence magnified the shortcomings and negative impacts of almost every decision he made.  The September 18th Incident destroyed the weak reputation and reputation he had built up since the Central Plains War by supporting reunification.  Completely destroyed.  Even though the official rhetoric was based on the orders of the Nanjing National Government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, it was in line with the strategic policy of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force that before fighting against foreign aggression, he must first calm down at home.  But not everyone in China is as easy to fool as the vast majority of unscrupulous people in the market who have enough to eat but the whole family is not hungry.  There are still many people with insight and lofty ideals in this country and nation with a population base of 40 million.  Everyone can fucking see it and understand it.  You, Zhang Xiaoliu, just want to preserve your strength and are reluctant to part with your family fortune.  It will be unattended in the foreigners, not to mention that you are the youngest Emperor of the Northeast and even Pingjin region in Northeast China.  Can the Nanjing government’s decrees cross the Yellow River?  Don’t mention Shanhaiguan.  Regarding these voices, Zhang Xiaoliu has always had a smooth journey since he was a child, and Zhang Xiaoliu, who has a Northeastern king father, really can't argue with him.  It just so happens that Zhang Xinghan’s behavior during the September 18th Incident was completely opposite to his behavior of abandoning the country without fighting.  Later, Zhang Xinghan not only won the respect and unrivaled reputation of the Chinese people, but also established a foothold in the Northeast. In a very short period of time, he not only frightened the Japanese, but also beat Lao Maozi.  It’s so stunning that it’s dizzying.  Now, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered.  The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, chasing away the Japanese from northern Manchuria to?Southern Manchuria.  There is a great trend to regain the whole Liao Dynasty and reorganize the Northeast.  All of this was like an invisible slap, hitting Zhang Xiaoliu again and again.  Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China, the second-generation King of Northeast China had a slap on his face.  They may have been swollen.  Three years ago, during the Middle East Road Incident, the well-equipped Northeastern Army, which encompassed the entire four northeastern provinces, was beaten to a pulp by Lao Maozi under his command and suffered heavy losses.  ??In Northeastern dialect, a typical person has the ability to stir up trouble, but the damn person has no ability to settle it. Four words - bring humiliation to oneself!  Jiang Baili was a little surprised and surprised by Zhang Xinghan's answer, but then he smiled happily.  "Chief of Staff, I have left the two heavy artillery brigades of the 1st and 9th Divisions to you. Are you sure you can contain Okamura Neji for me?" Jiang Baili was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Zhang Xinghan with interest: "  Does the commander intend to fight against Marshal Zhang's 200,000 Northeastern Army alone with two divisions of 30,000 men? " "Yes!" Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Is it a little missing?" Jiang Baili was a little worried.  "If we don't want a quick victory, I think Jinzhou's 4th Infantry Division, coupled with the support of the Air Force, will be enough." Zhang Xinghan said calmly without changing his expression.  Zhang Xinghan is not a hot-headed arrogant, otherwise he would not have lived to this day and achieved what he has achieved today.  Just now, he had already made a rough guess about the strength of the enemy and ourselves.  Although Zhang Xueliang still has a considerable force of no less than 200,000 on hand.  But now Rehe has been carved up by Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and others, and the warlords in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Suiyuan and other provinces are not fuel-efficient.  Especially Yan Xishan and the remnants of the Northwest Army, when Zhang Xueliang called on Chiang Kai-shek and led his troops into the customs, he stabbed them in the back.  The anti-Chiang coalition forces did not even have a chance to fight to the death.  No one can guarantee whether they will stab Zhang Xiaoliu behind his back at a critical moment.  To take revenge.  Therefore, Zhang Xiaoliu could eventually dispatch half of his 200,000 troops, and the maximum number of 120,000 to 30,000 men was already the limit.  The vanguard troops that came out first may not even have as many troops as the **4th Division.  With 30,000 semi-mechanized troops against the Northeast Army that was three times its size, it still had absolute air force superiority.  Zhang Xinghan really has nothing to worry about.  Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of equipment, training, and combat effectiveness of the Northeastern Army, which is inferior to the Japanese army.  Even if there were 100,000 Japanese troops, Zhang Xinghan would dare to compete with them.  Itagaki Seishiro, Zhang Xinghan's defeated general, had a miracle in the original history of defeating the hundreds of thousands of Jinsui Army Central Army with half a semi-mechanized division.  Zhang Xinghan was more confident in commanding the two motorized infantry divisions, whose firepower and equipment were far superior to the Japanese army, to compete with Zhang Xiaoliu's 100,000 Northeastern Army.  "The commander is very proud. Baili admires it, and other Baili can't guarantee it, but before the commander returns to the division, the Japanese troops in Yingkou City will not even take a step out of the city." Jiang Baili said firmly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded reassuringly and said: "Two motorized infantry divisions, especially the 1st Division plus two heavy artillery brigades, will besiege 30,000 Japanese troops. It shouldn't be a big problem. What I'm more worried about is the Wafangdian defense line.  I'm really afraid that Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan can't stop them. After all, they face more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and the Air Force may not be able to provide them with much assistance in the next few days. " "Commander, please rest assured,"  As the commander said, two motorized infantry divisions plus two heavy artillery brigades and one tank division are definitely more than enough to siege a Yingkou city. If we don't have to take care of the Wafangdian defense line, Baili will definitely command the troops to continue the attack on your behalf.  It should be a matter of time to capture Yingkou City. At most, it will take a while. The heavy artillery brigade is basically not needed for the siege. I will withdraw the offensive troops from the city and transfer the two heavy artillery brigades to Wafangdian. With them.  With the reinforcements, our army in Wafangdian will definitely increase in strength!" Jiang Baili said.  "The chief of staff can do things with confidence." Zhang Xinghan rarely smiled at this juncture.  He did not forget to tell him: "As a strategic force, the tank division is the greatest deterrent to the Japanese army if it is placed outside the city. It is best not to transfer it easily, in case Okamura Neji, an old devil, jumps over the wall in a hurry!" "Well, I remember  Get off." Jiang Baili nodded.  "Communication Corps, immediately send electricity to the 4th Division of the Communist Party of China, and order Liu Jianguo to immediately send a tank regiment plus a motorized infantry battalion out of the city overnight. March urgently towards Chaoyang County (today's Chaoyang City), and must arrive before the Northeast Army. At all costs,  I'll guard him! In case the Northeast Army takes a detour and attacks Shenyang!" Zhang Xinghan immediately faced the man who had been guarding the door.The informant ordered loudly.  "Yes!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan called out the word "communications soldier", the communications soldier hurriedly rushed in. After hurriedly writing down the contents one by one, he saluted, turned around and took the order.  In Jinzhou City, Liu Jianguo, who had already led the main force of his division back to Jinzhou, did not dare to slack off as soon as he received Zhang Xinghan's emergency telegram. He immediately dispatched a tank regiment directly under the division and an infantry battalion to leave the city at night and march toward Chaoyang County.  As Zhang Xinghan expected, Zhang Xueliang's battle plan was to use part of his troops to contain and guard the Northeastern New Army in the Jinzhou direction after leaving the border.  After the main troops left the customs, they went north from Shanhaiguan, passed through Chaoyang, Fuxin, and penetrated into Shenyang. They first recaptured Shenyang and captured the weak defensive areas of the Northeastern New Army around it.  Cut off the connection between Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern New Army and Northern Manchuria, and unite with the Japanese Kwantung Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Northeastern New Army and the Liaodong Peninsula.  As the vanguard commander, He Lichong, commander of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China, was also cautious in using his troops. He not only chose to go out at night to avoid the reconnaissance of the Northeast New Army aircraft and keep his whereabouts secret.  At the same time, a considerable number of cavalry scouts were also dispatched to search and intercept the scouts sent by the Jinzhou Northeast New Army.  "However, He Lichong made a thorough effort. Although the scouts of the 4th Division were counter-reconnaissance, they suffered heavy losses and were unable to detect the real information in time.  But Shen Yizhi’s reconnaissance battalion, which Zhang Xinghan spent a lot of money to train, played a role at the critical moment.  Today’s reconnaissance battalion, Zhang Xinghan’s secret agent force, focuses its main manpower on dealing with the Kwantung Army.  According to Zhang Xinghan’s instructions to worry about the pass, some personnel were also sent to keep an eye on the Northeast Army and other warlords in Rehe.  So these Northeastern New Army agents hiding near Shanhaiguan immediately discovered the Northeastern Army's move out of the customs, and quickly and secretly reported it to Zhang Xinghan.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 242: Meeting Them

    Therefore, He Lichong and Li Shusen acted extremely cautiously and showed no signs of marching towards Jinzhou.  [Queen of Training] However, her whereabouts were still exposed, but at this moment, these two upstarts from the Northeast Army did not know yet.  Zheng was leading two brigades of nearly 20,000 elite troops to attack Chaoyang County at night.  Chaoyang County is located in the west of Liaoning, north of Jinzhou and south of Tongliao.  Chaoyang’s surface is covered with mountains, undulating hills, alternating canyons, and crisscrossing ravines. There are only small patches of flat land between mountains and plains along rivers. The structure is “seven mountains, one water, and two fields.”  The natural land types are diverse, with mountains, hills, hills, plains, and flatlands staggered in distribution, and the land use types are also diverse.  The main mountain ranges in Chaoyang City include Nuruerhu Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Duling Mountain, Daqing Mountain and Dahei Mountain.  If you are not familiar with Chaoyang, you should be familiar with several major rivers within its territory.  The most famous ones are the Daling River and Laoha River. Historically, the Northeast Army relied on the Daling River in Jinzhou to resist the Japanese invasion.  The straight-line distance between Chaoyang and Jinzhou is only over 80 kilometers, while it is fully 200 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan. The actual marching distance is more than 250 kilometers.  Therefore, although the **4th Division's tank regiment and other reinforcements set off late, marching along the buffer plain along the Daling River, they still arrived at Chaoyang County ahead of the Northeast Army without any suspense.  At this time, the Japanese had just withdrawn from Chaoyang County, and the main force of the Northeastern New Army was used to attack southward, leaving only the original puppet military police.  ?????Liu Dongqing, commander of the 4th Division Tank Regiment, commanded the motorized infantry battalion and tank regiment to capture the county town effortlessly.  Quickly took over the city defense and marched overnight. It was too late to repair the fortifications outside the city.  Liu Dongqing ordered the motorized infantry battalion to defend the city, hold on to the city wall, and report immediately to Jinzhou.     at the same time.  Zhang Xinghan also led the leading troops of the 10th Division, a motorized infantry regiment and a tank regiment to Jinzhou.  In the headquarters, after chatting with Liu Jianguo and others.  Deputy division commander Cao Pingzhi walked in quickly with a piece of telegram and saluted: "Commander, division seat. Liu Dongqing called. They have arrived in Chaoyang first, and there is no trace of the Northeast Army yet! At present, he has ordered the troops to enter the city and hold on." Zhang Xinghan  He said: "Call back to Liu Dongqing. The tank regiment cannot just stay in the city and be trapped. It must drive out of the city immediately to give full play to its mobility and assault capabilities. Search for the vanguard of the Northeast Army and give them a head-on attack! This is called attacking instead of defending.  " "Yes!" Cao Pingzhi saluted and left immediately.  After watching him leave, Liu Jianguo eagerly asked Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, what should we do next?" Zhang Xinghan did not answer directly, but walked to the map.  After looking at the map for a while, he said: "Leave some troops to guard Jinzhou, and the main force will all advance towards Xingcheng. Let's meet Marshal Zhang's elite Northeast Army!" "Yes!" Liu Jianguo accepted the order happily.  That night, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo personally led the main force of the 4th Division of the Northeast New Army to march out and advance along the railway line towards Xingcheng.  At the same time, Liu Dongqing also led the tank regiment to leave Chaoyang and march westward.  Search and attack the vanguard of the Northeast Army.  At dawn, Liu Dongqing’s search force encountered the vanguard troops of He Lichong’s 7th Brigade.  Six No. 4 tanks faced off against a platoon of Northeastern Army cavalry. There was no suspense in the battle.  After a violent barrage of fire and shelling, more than half of the Northeastern Army was killed or wounded, and the rest surrendered directly.  It’s not that they are too spineless, it’s that they didn’t expect that they would be attacked by tank troops here.  Even the Japanese Kwantung Army couldn't stand the fierce firepower, let alone the Northeastern Army, which had not fought for more than two years.  What surprised and angered the captured Northeastern officers and soldiers was that their opponent turned out to be the Communist Party, or rather the Northeastern Army.  The captured second lieutenant cavalry platoon leader was very big.  He stared at Liu Dongqing, who was leading the team in person, with red eyes, his eyes almost bursting with fire.  Liu Dongqing was promoted from tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to the colonel commander of the tank regiment of the 4th Motorized Infantry Division, which is naturally not a good thing.  He kicked the big man to the ground and said, "You damn bastard, you have become a prisoner, how dare you stare at me like this?!" The big man fell to the ground.  He wanted to fight back, but he was stared at by two submachine guns, and in the end he did not dare to act rashly.  His performance was noticed by Liu Dongqing, and he said with an intriguing smile: "What, boy, are you not convinced?" The big second lieutenant snorted coldly, spit on the ground, and said: "Bah, just  Know the things in the nest, and have the ability not to attack them.?I will attack our Northeast Army instead?  Liu Dongqing squatted down and smiled instead of angry, and said with a serious smile: "You said I am a bastard?"  So what are you?  As for fighting the Japanese, since the Battle of Shenyang began, I have personally killed no less than ten Japanese. How many have you killed?  "    "us?  What happened to us?  We were ordered to leave the border to fight against the Japanese, but before we saw the Japanese, we were ambushed by you!  "The big man was not afraid and met Liu Dongqing's gaze: "When I was in the pass, I often heard my brothers say that your Northeastern New Army is the real army that fights the Japanese. My brothers and I never think about being able to come out of the pass and fight side by side with you.  , to regain lost ground.  I finally waited for the order to leave the country to fight against the Japanese. I didn't kill the Japanese, but you killed more than 20 of them. They were all passionate men who were dedicated to serving the country. They didn't die by the Japanese guns, but they died in the hands of you bastards.  Of course I don’t accept it!  "The more the big man talked, the angrier he became. He was so excited that he almost lost control. "Going out to fight against Japan?  A disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Dongqing's mouth: "Needless to say, the sinister intentions of your Northeast Army's departure are so high-sounding and so righteous."  Everyone knows that your Marshal Zhang saw that the anti-Japanese situation was very good, so he hurriedly used the slogan of coming out to fight against the Japanese and save the country and the people to seize the peace territory and compete for the fruits of victory.  "As a middle-level general, Liu Dongqing naturally could not know that Zhang Xueliang had reached an agreement with the Japanese to join forces to defeat their Northeastern New Army. Like most of the Northeastern New Army officers and soldiers, they only thought that the Northeastern Army came out to seize territory from them.  Here we come. The big guy obviously didn’t agree with Liu Dongqing’s “slander”, he frowned and said: “You are so rude!  " "Spraying blood?  Then I ask you, since they came out to fight against Japan, why did they not get in touch with us? The Japanese have now been suppressed by us to the Yingkou area.  You could go eastward along the railway line and go to the front line via Jinzhou, but now you are quietly approaching Chaoyang. Are there any Japanese in Chaoyang?  "You are still out of seclusion to fight against the Japanese. I am very worried for you. It has been more than two years since the September 18th Incident. Your Marshal Zhang must really want to fight against the Japanese."  What were you doing earlier?  Now the Japanese are about to die, but he has to go out to fight against Japan, protect his family and save the country.  Do you really think that everyone in the world is a fool?  "Liu Dongqing's words made the big lieutenant speechless. He wanted to defend but lacked the confidence. "The march into Chaoyang is based on orders. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Maybe our commander has other plans!  "The big guy reluctantly explained. "Okay, you damn stop trying to defend your despicable behavior here. Maybe you, a little platoon leader, don't know your commander's sinister intentions.  However, as a normal person who is neither stupid nor crazy, you should touch your conscience and think about what I just said.  What is the purpose of Zhang Xueliang ordering you to leave seclusion at this time?  "Liu Dongqing waved his hands a little impatiently. As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried over, stood up and saluted: "Regiment leader, we found a large group of enemy troops ten miles ahead!  "    "Um?  "Liu Dongqing changed his color slightly when he heard this, and immediately said: "Order all battalions to attack immediately and beat these treacherous bastards severely!  "    "yes!  "The soldier responded loudly and ran quickly after being ordered. The moment before Liu Dongqing put on the helmet, he turned to look at the big prisoner: "Boy, you have a good body. If you come to be a tank soldier, you will definitely be a good ammunition hand. Take a good look.  Come on, let's see who is the real anti-Japanese team!  " After saying this, without waiting for the big man to speak, he put on his helmet and ordered the adjutant on the side: "Take them all back to Chaoyang City.  "Ten miles away, on a slope beside the highway, He Lichong and Li Shusen, wearing white gloves, were looking through telescopes. The rising light stretched their figures. "Brother Li, the reconnaissance team may encounter  Something unexpected happened. It seems that the rebellious Northeastern New Army may have made preparations!  He Lichong put down the telescope with a somewhat solemn tone. Li Shusen also put down the telescope, but he was more optimistic and said: "Brother He, don't worry too much. According to intelligence, the main force of the Northeast New Army is basically contained in the Yingkou area by the Japanese."  The total strength of the Jinzhou area never exceeds 20,000. As for Chaoyang County, it is extremely empty. Furthermore, even if they are prepared in advance and dispatch reinforcements to Chaoyang County, how many troops will they have?  "And we have an army of 20,000. Isn't it easy to capture Chaoyang County, a small town?"  Our goal cannot be limited here, it should be Shenyang City!  " He Lichong frowned and nodded, "I hope so."??, there is always some uneasy premonition in my heart.  "Brother He, there is no need to be nervous and excited. As long as we capture Shenyang, we will be the first contributors to the fight against Japan!"  Ah ha ha!  "Li Shusen seemed to have seen the scene of leading his troops into Shenyang City and standing at the top of the city to have a bird's eye view of the whole city. He couldn't help but laugh with pride. But his laughter could not last. An adjutant on horseback suddenly turned back from the front.  He came back, almost fell off his horse, and reported to the two of them in a panic: "Brigade, something bad is going on. A tank unit appeared in front of us and was rapidly approaching our forward unit. Most of the vanguard platoons sent earlier were all full members.  The army was destroyed.  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 243: Showdown?

    "What?" The smile on Li Shusen's face suddenly froze.  He Li rushed to take a breath of air, glanced at Li Shusen, gritted his teeth and said: "Order the troops to prepare to meet the enemy!" "Brother He, I have always heard that the tanks and armored units of the Northeast New Army are invincible. They can't even defeat the Japanese on the plains.  Opponent. We are currently unprepared and do not have enough anti-tank weapons. In my opinion, it is better to avoid their edge for the time being!" Li Shusen's background as a cavalryman means that he knows how powerful the cavalry is on the plains, not to mention the almost invincible iron defense.  A torrent of steel composed of knots.  "What does Brother Li mean? We have an army of 20,000, how can we escape without fighting?" He Lichong's eyes widened.  "Brother He, this is not about fleeing without a fight. A hero does not suffer immediate losses. The enemy will arrive in a blink of an eye during the ten-mile journey. We have no time to build defenses. On such a plain, our military advantage cannot be used. The losses are in.  Horses are nothing, but the spirit of the troops will be greatly affected, which will be extremely detrimental to our next fighting style!" Li Shusen advised: "Brother He, have you forgotten, the Battle of Shenyang and the Battle of Northern Manchuria and Tongliao?  During the war, the Japanese Kwantung Army suffered huge losses from the tanks and armored units of the Northeastern New Army. Does Brother He think we are more powerful than the Kwantung Army?" He Lichong's confidence was shaken and asked: "Then what should we do now?  Where should we evacuate? " "It's only three to five miles away from our current position through Daqing Mountain. There are paths in the mountains that lead directly to Daheishan and Fenghuang Mountains, and directly to Chaoyang County. When I led my troops to retreat from Tongliao, I went there.  Let's go." Li Shusen looked up at Yao and continued, "Looking at Yao, walking on the mountain road will not only get rid of the enemy's tanks, but also avoid their air force bombing, killing two birds with one stone!" He Lichong made a quick decision: "  Just do it!" "Signal soldier, give me the order. The 620th Regiment is responsible for blocking and covering the main force entering the mountain. The other troops will move towards Daqing Mountain immediately!" "Yes!" A communication soldier stood at attention and quickly climbed onto his horse.  The dust goes away.  About twenty minutes later, Liu Dongqing led the tank regiment to defeat the 620 regiment's blockade, and then advanced westward for twenty miles, but found no trace of the Northeastern Army.  He jumped off a tank and said to the adjutant who was accompanying him: "It's strange, why is there no sign of the enemy entering? Didn't the scouts say they are less than ten miles away from us?" The adjutant shook his head in confusion:  "I don't know about my humble position. Could it be that I ran away?" "Escaped?" Liu Dongqing lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Immediately send electricity to the teacher's seat, contact the air force, request reconnaissance aircraft for support, and capture a few prisoners for me.  Come and ask!" "Yes!" The adjutant saluted and left quickly.  On the railway line leading to Jinzhou, Zhang Xinghan was personally leading the main force of Duli's 4th Division to advance. Behind them, the main force of Duli's 10th Division had already arrived in Jinzhou.  is following closely behind and heading westward non-stop.  In the passenger seat of a military truck, Zhang Xinghan was sitting in it, closing his eyes and relaxing.  Suddenly, the military truck stopped, and a loud shout came from outside the vehicle: "Commander, urgent military situation!" "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan opened the door and got out of the car, and a communications soldier immediately handed over a message with both hands respectfully.  After opening the message and reading it, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said to the communications soldier: "Call back to Liu Dongqing's command and order them to return to defend Chaoyang County immediately. Their mission is to defend Chaoyang, not to annihilate the enemy!" "Yes!"  The signal soldier stood up and saluted, turned around and ran away.  Zhang Xinghan turned the helmet on his head, took out a cigarette and put it on himself, looked up at the sky, and saw the rare sunshine, and got into the car again.  The car made a rumble, emitted a burst of black smoke from the rear, started slowly, and continued to move forward.  ??……………………Yingkou City, Japanese Army Headquarters.  Kentaro Kurotsuchi, Nakashimamura and other officers of the 106th and 114th Divisions including the captain and above are all here.  Okamura Neji strode out of a bedroom wearing a military uniform, a saber on his waist, and leather boots.  A group of Japs officers stood up one after another, their heads focused on Okamura Neji.  Okamura Neji is in a good mood today, which can be seen from his shiny leather boots, neat military uniform, and the vaguely proud smile at the corner of his mouth.  He waved his hands and signaled to the officers: "Gentlemen, please take a seat!" After sitting down, his eyes glanced back and forth. Okamura Neiji said energetically: "Gentlemen, I have good news to tell you.  The opportunity for the Imperial Army to reverse the situation of the war has appeared. Soon we will be able to turn defeat into victory and completely eliminate the enemy.That army was Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army.  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi and the others looked at each other sideways after hearing this. "I wonder what Okamura-kun means by the timing?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi asked. "Do you still remember the top-secret telegram from yesterday?  "Okamura Neiji smiled mysteriously and said: "The content of the telegram is that Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army has left the border.  " "Nani?  Zhang's Northeastern Army left the border?  "Nakajima Village and Kurotsuchi Kentaro were all shocked. "Yes, Zhang Xueliang has reached an agreement with us to jointly deal with the new Northeast China Army!  "Okamura Neiji said proudly: "If there are no accidents, Zhang Xueliang's troops have now left the border and are on their way to cut off the retreat of Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army.  "Great. The stupid China Jingran chose to kill each other at this time. Here is the opportunity for the imperial army to avenge its past humiliation."  "Nakashimamura said excitedly. "Okamura-kun, what should we do next?  Should we immediately launch a counterattack against China?  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi asked, suppressing his inner excitement. "There must be a counterattack, but not now. Bai Yaoshi's air force can take off at any time, posing a great threat to the imperial army.  “Moreover, according to intelligence, the Chinese Army outside the city should have dispatched a group of Northeastern troops to meet the Northeastern Army coming out of the customs, so I decided to launch a night attack on the Chinese Army outside the city after nightfall tonight.  Even if you cannot defeat the enemy, you must put pressure on them, forcing them to be unable to deploy troops to reinforce the Wafangdian battlefield, so as to reduce the offensive pressure on the main force of the imperial army!  "Okamura Neiji talked eloquently. Kurotsuchi Kentaro and others bowed their heads in deep agreement. Okamura Neiji took the lead to stand up and said seriously: "Everyone, victory is just around the corner. I hope you will continue to work hard and be prepared for a counterattack.  , ready to attack at any time!  " "Hai!  "A group of Japanese officers suddenly lowered their heads and responded. Beiping, Zhang Xueliang also stayed up almost all night. At this time, the aide-de-camp Chen Dazhang came in and reported to him: "Young Marshal, General Zhang Zuoxiang called back, he  He has led the main force out of Shanhaiguan. Currently, He Lichong and Li Shusen have led two brigades into the Chaoyang area, but" "But what?"  "Zhang Xueliang, who was dizzy, asked impatiently. "They found traces of the Northeast New Army's tank troops. He Lichong reported that the Northeast New Army may have made preparations.  " Chen Dazhang replied. "So, the whereabouts of the forward troops' surprise attack on Shenyang have been exposed?  "Zhang Xueliang's tone was angry. "Yes, the enemy is prepared. Chaoyang County is not an empty city!  "Chen Dazhang lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Xiaoliu. "Damn it!  Zhang Xinghan, that bastard!  Zhang Xiaoliu was furious, walked back and forth a few steps, and said angrily: "Give He Lichong a message and order him to capture Chaoyang County and attack Shenyang for me no matter what. I'll see what Zhang Xinghan can do to save Shenyang."  !  " Before Chen Dazhang left, Chief of Staff Rong Jin walked in with a solemn expression, saluted Zhang Xiaoliu and said: "Young Marshal, the latest news is that Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army Division has evacuated from the direction of Yingkou and arrived overnight.  Jinzhou.  "    "Um?  Zhang Xueliang changed his color slightly and said coldly: "How many horses has he mobilized?"  " "According to the report of our agents lurking in Jinzhou, the Northeast New Army that has arrived in Jinzhou since last night has a maximum strength of 15,000 and no more than 20,000. Including the troops originally stationed in Jinzhou, the total strength is about 30,000 at most!  Oh, by the way, another army left Jinzhou yesterday, with a strength of about 3,000.  Rong Jin replied seriously: "However, there is only one regiment of the Northeastern New Army in the city now, and the others are all leaving the city to the west. It seems that they are planning to meet our main force."  " Zhang Xueliang's face became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, if one regiment is left to guard Jinzhou and another regiment is to guard Chaoyang, Zhang Xinghan will have less than 25,000 troops to attack us?  " Rong Jin's heart sank, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes.  "Zhang Xueliang became furious, kicked a wooden chair to the ground, and roared: "You dare to attack my army of one hundred thousand with just over 20,000 people?  Zhang Xinghan also underestimated my Northeast Army.  " " Prepare the car immediately. I want to go to the front line of Shanhaiguan in person and personally command the troops to fight against this bastard Zhang Xinghan!  "Zhang Xueliang has had a smooth journey since joining the army. He has always been conceited. In addition, he hated Zhang Xinghan deeply. At this moment, the suppressed anger and humiliation completely broke out. "Young Marshal" Rong Jin still wanted to persuade him. "  Shut up!  Zhang Xueliang interrupted him with red eyes: "I have made up my mind, execute the order!"  "    "yes!  "Rong Zhen and Chen Dazhang had no choice but to stand up and salute, then turned around and left after being ordered to leave.bsp;……………………Nanjing, the residence of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  "Commissioner, we've figured it out. Zhang Xueliang is definitely released." Dai Li, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, holding a black felt hat and wearing leather shoes, bent over and reported to a certain bald man.  "What does Zhang Hanqing mean? What does he want to do?" Chairman Jiang put down the document in his hand and said with a thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent.  "Nominally, they want to go out to fight against Japan and regain lost territory, but according to intelligence, they should take the opportunity to regain Shenyang, and may even attack Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army. You know, his hatred of Zhang Xinghan has not lasted forever." Dai Li  He lowered his head and said.  "Damn it, Zhang Hanqing doesn't have any good intentions, and he's not afraid of being exposed and his reputation ruined?" Chairman Jiang seemed to be saying to himself.  "How did Zhang Xinghan react to this?" Chairman Jiang suddenly raised his head and asked.  "The latest news came from the Jinzhou Intelligence Station last night. The Northeastern New Army has sent more troops to Jinzhou. It seems that Zhang Xinghan has seen through Zhang Xueliang's motives." Dai Li said.  "Humph, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, and Zhang Xinghan is not a fool." "Commissioner, what should we do?" Dai Li asked.  "No need for the time being, let them engage in a three-way fight with Japan, especially the growing Northeastern New Army. This time Zhang Hanqing leads his troops out of the border, and the two of them will consume and contain each other. It may not be a bad thing." Chairman Chiang pondered.  Smiled.

    North of Huludao, near Jinxi.  Zhang Xinghan led the main force of two divisions to advance westward.  "Commander, the Air Force reconnaissance plane reported that the main force of the Northeast Army has left the border and is heading towards Jinzhou!" Liu Jianguo, commander of the 4th Division of the Communist Party of China, took advantage of Zhang Xinghan's break from the car to urinate, and ran out of the car to report to him.  Zhang Xinghan shook his body, turned around and asked: "Where is Chaoyang? Have you found any traces of the enemy?" "Not yet. According to the reconnaissance plane report, the Chaoyang area is mountainous, and the Northeast Army may have penetrated into the mountains and forests.  Liu Jianguo replied.  As soon as Liu Jianguo finished speaking, a communications soldier ran out of the armored vehicle that was temporarily used as a communications vehicle.  "Commander, Commander Liu, our Chaoyang city defense force has just sent an urgent message. The Northeastern Army suddenly broke out from Fenghuang Mountain and is attacking Chaoyang County." The communications soldier saluted the two men and reported.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled, picked up his pants and turned around and asked: "Where is Liu Dongqing's tank regiment? Has it returned to Chaoyang City?" "It's not clear yet, the defenders didn't mention it!" the communications soldier replied.  "Immediately call back to Chaoyang County to ask about the whereabouts of the tank regiment. In addition, I will send a message directly to Liu Dongqing's department and order them to return to Chaoyang County immediately to support Chaoyang County at all costs. Tell Liu Dongqing that Chaoyang County is the gateway to Shenyang. If anything goes wrong, I will kill him!"  Zhang Xinghan responded quickly and gave orders.  The communications soldier saluted: "Yes!" and was about to leave.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, give Gao Zhihang another power, and order him to immediately send bombers to attack the Northeast Army's siege troops and assist Liu Dongqing and the others in defending the city!" "Yes!" The communications soldier lowered his head and turned around.  Run away.  Watching the communications troops leave, Zhang Xinghan pondered thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly said to Liu Jianguo: "Jianguo, the main force of the Northeast Army has now left the border. You know the situation we are facing, and it is best to resolve it quickly. What happens next?  Do you have any good ideas for the battle?" Liu Jianguo paused and said, "Commander, judging from the situation we have so far, the tactics of the Northeast Army are basically clear, which is to rely on the large number of troops to divide the troops into two groups.  In order to disperse our forces and defeat us with a large number, we are not so smart. You think too highly of our Marshal Zhang. His initial tactical goal should be to use a leading elite force to attack quietly.  Pass through Chaoyang, Fuxin penetrates directly into Shenyang, seizes Shenyang City, cuts off our main force's northward retreat, and blocks our connection with northern Manchuria. However, we reacted faster and captured Chaoyang City in time to prevent them.  That's all. The next step is to leave the border with the main force, attack Chaoyang City with the main force, and attack Jinzhou with the main force." Zhang Xinghan said with a contemptuous smile.  Liu Jianguo nodded unequivocally: "The commander's analysis is reasonable. Our available troops are indeed at a disadvantage now. If we divide our forces to attack and engage in a positional offensive and defensive war of attrition with the Northeastern Army, it may be detrimental to us. Therefore, I think we cannot sit back and wait for death.  . We should use our mobility advantage to defeat the enemy through mobile warfare and win the initiative in this battle." "Well said!" Zhang Xinghan patted Liu Jianguo's shoulder with approval. It seemed that after more than two years of hard work.  Liu Jianguo's tactical thinking has made great progress and improvement.  "As you said, our military strength is at a disadvantage and we cannot delay too long. We need to fight quickly. It is unrealistic to wipe out hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops, but as long as we can win one or two battles and severely damage Marshal Zhang's elite troops,  Let him retreat and retreat to the pass, so that we can continue to deal with the Japanese. "Commander, do you mean to take the initiative?" Liu Jianguo asked guessing.  "It is a proactive attack, but it is not a head-on confrontation with the main force of the Northeast Army!" "Not a head-on confrontation with the enemy? What is the commander's plan?" Liu Jianguo was confused.  Zhang Xinghan smiled mysteriously, waved his hand and said, "Follow me." The two of them arrived at the armored vehicle that Zhang Xinghan was riding in.  Zhang Xinghan took out a marching battle map and spread it on the ground.  Squatting next to the map, Zhang Xinghan turned his head and smiled at Liu Jianguo and asked, "Jianguo, look at the map. How far is it from Shanhaiguan to Jinxi?" Liu Jianguo looked at it and said, "The straight-line distance is more than 120 kilometers.  "The specific marching distance should be about three hundred miles." "Let's see how far it is from here to Chaoyang!" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "About ninety kilometers!" Liu Jianguo replied again.  "Ninety kilometers, let's count it as 100 kilometers. With our mechanized marching speed, how long will it take you to arrive there at the fastest time!" Zhang Xinghan said pointedly.  "Just press ?With an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour, we can arrive in five hours at most.  Liu Jianguo suddenly realized: "Commander, what do you mean, we march north to Chaoyang?"  "Yes, just go north to Chaoyang, three hundred miles away. Even if the main force of the Northeast Army breaks a leg, it will take at least one day and one night. Then some air forces will be sent to bombard and slow down their marching speed. If it doesn't happen, they won't be able to catch up for two days.  What's more, Jinxi is still half a day away from Jinzhou.  And two days are enough for us to concentrate our superior forces to encircle and annihilate the partial division of the Northeast Army that invaded Chaoyang.  "Zhang Xinghan talked eloquently: "Every vanguard must be an elite. If we can kill Marshal Zhang's vanguard before the main force of the Northeast Army arrives in Jinzhou, our spirit will be greatly dampened, and the next battle will be easy to fight.  .  " "The commander is wise, Jianguo admires him!  "Liu Jianguo's eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement, and he was even more impressed with Zhang Xinghan. While the two were discussing, the communications troops returned, stood up and saluted: "Commander, we have contacted Liu Dongqing, Liu Dongqing.  The regiment commander said that he had led the tank regiment back to Chaoyang and, with the cooperation of the air force, repelled the enemy's first attack.  However, the Northeastern Army outside the city has surrounded Chaoyang County.  "    "oh?  Have you figured out the number and approximate strength of the enemy besieging the city?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Captain Liu's message said that according to the captured prisoners, the siege troops were the 7th and 22nd brigades of the Northeast Army. Why did the commander rush forward!  Nearly 20,000 people.  "The signal soldier replied. "What?  **7th Brigade?  He Lichong?  "Zhang Xinghan had an accident. Although the two main regiments of the **7th Brigade broke away from the establishment with Zhao Zhenfan and others and joined Zhang Xinghan's Tongliao Garrison Brigade. They are also the main components of the Northeast New Army. As the elites that Marshal Zhang has always valued  In the past two years, Zhang Xiaoliu mobilized people and guns to reorganize the 7th Brigade of the ** at any cost. The commander was also replaced by the 622nd Regiment attached to the 7th Brigade of the ** who was absolutely loyal to him.  Commander He Lichong. The rebuilt 7th Brigade was well equipped and still the strongest in the Northeast Army. In order to achieve the battle plan to capture Shenyang, Zhang Xiaoliu sent out the 7th Brigade as the trump card.  Supplemented by the elite 22nd Brigade of the **, it can be said that he has spent a lot of money. When he heard that it was the 7th Brigade of the ** and He Lichong, Liu Jianguo's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to say to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, it is He Lichong's grandson, it was him at the beginning.  The old brigade commander was detained!  " "This son of a bitch, he is unlucky this time, let's take action on him and Li Shusen's 22nd Brigade!  Zhang Xinghan made a decision immediately: "If you pass the order, the troops will immediately change from the rear to the front."  The entire army headed north and quickly headed towards Chaoyang County.  At the same time, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang were ordered to dispatch fighter planes to bomb the main force of the Northeast Army leaving the customs, slowing down their advance and buying time for me to encircle and annihilate He Lichong and Li Shusen's troops!  "    "yes!  "Liu Jianguo and the communications soldier lowered their heads at the same time and made a loud promise. Chaoyang County, on the west gate wall. Liu Dongqing, accompanied by the commander of the motorized infantry battalion and others, was inspecting the city wall after all the tank regiments entered the city. Guard.  The army's firepower has been greatly strengthened. Coupled with the firepower support and cooperation of the air force, the defending troops easily repulsed the offensive troops of the 7th Brigade whose equipment and firepower were several blocks behind them. "Liu Tuanzuo, this Northeastern Army.  The momentum is quite huge.  They also surrounded both the south gate and the north gate, but their firepower was lacking.  "The commander of the motorized infantry battalion joked as he looked at the battlefield outside the city where the gunfire still lingered. "Compared with us, it's natural that we have a worse nose, but we can't be careless.  As the saying goes, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. The commander said in his reply that Chaoyang County is the gateway to Shenyang.  If anything goes wrong, we will be shot!  "Liu Dongqing said with a serious expression. "Well!  "The commander of the motorized infantry battalion also put away his smile and nodded solemnly, and then asked: "By the way, did the commander tell us how long to hold on?  Will reinforcements be sent?  " Liu Dongqing shook his head and said: "I didn't give a specific time, and I didn't mention reinforcements. I didn't ask for reinforcements. With the troops and equipment we have, and the support from the guys in the Air Force, we can hold on for ten days and a half.  It should be no problem.  "Besides, before departure, the commander told us that our troops are not large this time, and we need to be 120,000 strong.  We can’t embarrass our 4th Division, can we?  "    "Um!  "The commander of the Motorized Infantry Battalion nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from behind them, and several people turned around. I saw a communications soldier carrying a document bag and trotting all the way to the top of the city, three steps in two steps.  He walked up to them and saluted: "Team."??, the commander just sent an urgent message.  "    "Um?  "Liu Dongqing and the commander of the Motorized Infantry Battalion looked at each other and reached out to take the message. After reading the message, Liu Dongqing's eyes suddenly filled with uncontrollable enthusiasm and excitement. "Brother Liu, what are the commander's orders?  "The commander of the Motorized Infantry Battalion saw this and asked hurriedly. "Brother, the commander has made a big move, you can see for yourself.  "Liu Dongqing patted his shoulder excitedly and handed him the message. After reading it, the commander of the Motorized Battalion also said excitedly: "Great, this time we have to teach these people a lesson.  , actually helping the Japanese beat us.  " "Actually, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army are still bloody-minded. Not everyone is determined to join forces with the Japanese to deal with us. Most of them have been deceived.  Mainly those who are officials. Once on the battlefield, as a soldier, sometimes many things are beyond your control.  "Liu Dongqing sighed.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 245: Transport Brigade Captain

    At the same time, outside the city, there was a hidden mountain col four kilometers away from Chaoyang County.  He Lichong and Li Shusen set up their temporary joint headquarters here.  The headquarters is composed of several military tents connected together. The tents are covered with trees and grass. It is difficult to find unless you get close.  There is a tent in the middle that serves as the war room for He Lichong and others. On the right is a communication radio station and on the left is a temporary resting place for the guards.  As for the kitchen, it is in the mountains and forests not far away.  In the war room, He Lichong, with white gloves on his hands and a military uniform, stood in front of the map with one hand behind his back in a heroic manner, meditating in silence.  Li Shusen lit up a cigarette, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Brother He, the intensity of the enemy's firepower and their combat power are completely beyond our expectations. In my opinion, this battle is not easy to fight." "It's not easy to fight either.  We have to fight, we have the great trust of the young commander, how can we be afraid and harm the country by timidly fighting?" He Lichong said with a solemn expression.  Li Shusen smiled awkwardly and said: "That's it, that's it. I wonder if Brother He has any good ideas? The Northeastern New Army defending the city has the support of tanks and air force. If we attack by force, you will also pay the casualties.  I saw it.” He Lichong nodded his head in disbelief and pondered for a while: “The target is too big to attack during the day. The enemy relied on powerful firepower such as tanks and aircraft to launch a large-scale fire attack on our attacking troops. The casualties were indeed too high.  A little bigger. In this way, we postpone the attack until dark. By then, the enemy's planes will not be able to take off, and the tanks, artillery, and even light and heavy firepower will have to be blinded. Our advantage in force can be fully utilized.  It worked.” “Well, that’s great,” Li Shusen said while smoking his cigarette.  At this time, a second lieutenant communications officer came in from the tent on the right, stood upright and saluted the two of them: "Two sirs, the young marshal has called. The main force of our army has left the border. We are advancing towards Jinzhou. The message  It also said that the marshal has decided to come to Shanhaiguan in person to command and supervise the decisive battle with the enemy!" He Lichong and Li Shusen looked slightly surprised, and then asked the communications lieutenant: "Does the marshal have any latest instructions?"  "The Young Marshal's instruction is to order us to strengthen our attack on Chaoyang. While the main force of the Northeastern New Army has no time to look north, break through the enemy's obstruction as soon as possible, march towards Shenyang, and complete the established strategic goals!" the communications second lieutenant answered respectfully.  "Well, I understand." He Li rushed over and waved his hand towards him.  After the communications lieutenant saluted.  He was ordered to turn around and leave.  "Brother Li, it seems we are going to speed up the attack!" After the communications lieutenant left, He Lichong turned around and said.  "Brother He, what do you mean, continue the attack now?" Li Shusen asked in surprise.  "No, now that the main force of our army has left the border, and the young marshal is personally taking command, the Northeast New Army in the direction of Jinzhou has no possibility of sending reinforcements. There is plenty of time and opportunity left for us. However, before dark, we have to prepare for  Be fully prepared for the attack!" He Lichong said, turning and pointing to the mountains outside, and continued: "There are many bamboo forests in the mountains and forests nearby. We can mobilize soldiers to grab as many bamboo ladders as possible for use.  Attack the city at night!" "Good idea, I'll arrange the manpower right away," Li Shusen said happily.  He stood up immediately and said.  It’s night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it’s a good time to go in and set fire.  At the head of Chaoyang City, Liu Dongqing learned that Zhang Xinghan and his troops were about to arrive in Chaoyang City.  Therefore, the more than 3,000 officers and soldiers in the city were fully prepared for war, and they did not slack off at all.  The city was full of Northeastern military officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition, including general-purpose machine guns.  Submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles stood ready.  The tank crews were all in place, and nearly a hundred Panzer IV tank crews were divided into two groups to prepare for the attack at the North Gate and South Gate.  In the city, at the headquarters, Liu Dongqing was sitting with a heavy face, waiting for the arrival of the main force.  Outside the city, it was pitch dark. Thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers were quietly moving towards the west gate under the cover of night.  When they approached the city wall a hundred meters away, dozens of flares suddenly rose above the city where reinforcements were silent.  The dazzling white light instantly dispelled the darkness, illuminating the outside of Ximen City like daylight.  The offensive troops of the Northeastern Army were suddenly unable to hide, and various weapons of the Northeastern New Army on top of the city opened fire one after another.  For a time, bullets rained down.  A Northeast Army officer who was responsible for leading the attack held a light machine gun and fired at the top of the city.  "Brothers, fight me!" "Charge! Kill!" Thousands of Northeastern troopsThe officers and soldiers shouted in unison, opened fire one after another, and launched an intensive firefight with the Northeastern New Army on the city.  The dense bullets that shuttled back and forth were like small meteors in the dark night, particularly dazzling.  The commander of the motorized infantry battalion fired a few shots with his pistol, but it seemed to be lackluster, so he grabbed the general-purpose machine gun from a machine gunner, personally fired the machine gun and began to fire violently at the city.  While pulling the trigger, he roared loudly.  The Northeastern Army's attack at Ximen seemed massive, but in fact it only had a force of more than a thousand troops.  Not long after the gunfire rang out at the west gate, overwhelming shouts of killing and deafening gunfire sounded from the north gate and south gate.  The north gate and south gate are the main attack direction of the Northeast Army. As for the east gate, it is the "escape route" left by He Lichong for the defenders in the city.  Surrounding three towers is a tactic used by countless famous generals throughout the ages.  Although He Lichong is not a famous general, he still understands this principle.  Since the Northeastern New Army was fully prepared for war, the Northeastern Army's attacks at the North Gate and South Gate were also strongly blocked.  In the light of the fire, from time to time, Northeastern troops rushed to the city with bamboo ladders at a heavy cost. However, before they had time to set up the ladders, they were blown up by grenade packs falling from the top of the city.  There were also new officers and soldiers from the Northeast who were hit by mortar shells and fell from the top of the city.  The fighting between the two sides once reached a fever pitch.  "Brother He, the enemy seems to have been prepared for a long time. All the attacking troops encountered tenacious resistance, and nothing seems to be caught off guard." On a high ground, looking at Chaoyang City with red light soaring into the sky and loud gunshots, Li Shusen turned to face  He Lichong said.  "It's not surprising. We didn't attack during the whole afternoon. It's reasonable for the enemy to be wary." He Lichong didn't have any worries at all.  "It is not difficult to judge from the gunfire of the Northeast New Army in the city that they do not have many troops, but they have a lot of automatic firearms. Our troops have an absolute advantage, so what if they are prepared? In the dark, the weapons of both sides are powerful  Discounting, relatively speaking, the enemy's losses will be greater, so the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us will be very close. Let alone one for one, we will definitely win this battle. " Li Shusen heard what he said!  , nodded, feeling a little relieved.  The battle lasted for about two hours, but the siege units of the Northeast Army still failed to break through the city defenses of the New Northeast Army, resulting in heavy casualties.  Li Shusen couldn't bear it and said: "Brother He, the troops have been attacking continuously for two hours. Some companies have suffered all casualties. Let's postpone the attack and take a rest, right?" "The troops can rest and recuperate, but the attack cannot be interrupted.  , notify the 620th and 621st regiments to immediately take over the attacking troops and continue the attack! We will not stop until the sun breaks tonight!" He Lichong decided solemnly. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of a corn field ten kilometers east of Chaoyang County.  "Commander, the Northeast Army's attack on Chaoyang County has lasted for two hours. The motorcycle battalion responsible for city defense has suffered more than one-third casualties. Should we attack quickly?" Liu Jianguo asked anxiously.  Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting on a field at the edge of the cornfield smoking a cigarette, raised his head and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, let the Northeast Army bastards toss and toss again. When they are almost tired from the tossing, we can attack again and we will definitely be able to  Success in one fell swoop, surround and annihilate them!" Liu Jianguo nodded, while Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and continued to smoke.  Suddenly, Zhang Xinghan raised his head again and asked: "Jianguo, do you think that if we can surround the two brigades He Lichong and Li Shusen, is it possible to force them to land?" "Crash landing? No way? It turns out that the old man from Duli's 7th Brigade  We have brought out the basics. The current Duli 7th Brigade has been transformed by Marshal Zhang, and most of the middle and high-level officers of the 622 Regiment who were left behind are loyal to He Lichong. And He Lichong is loyal to Marshal Zhang.  This old boy is stubborn, and his loyalty is foolish loyalty, so he made an emergency landing" Liu Jianguo shook his head in disapproval.  Zhang Xinghan said disapprovingly: "You overestimate the loyalty and willpower of these bastards in the Northeast Army. Do you think they can all fight to the end like little Japan and refuse to surrender? I was thinking about it along the way. Marshal Zhang came out.  Guan's slogan is to resist Japan, save the country, and regain lost territory. In other words, the majority of Northeast officers and soldiers must have been deceived by this banner of justice. They do not know the true intention of Shangfeng. If we can surround them.  , and if Xiaozhi persuades him to surrender with emotion and reason, he should be at least seven levels sure of succeeding in exposing Zhang Xiaoliu's conspiracy.I am afraid that He Lichong and Li Shusen will not surrender and are waiting for help. If the time drags on for a long time and Marshal Zhang's 100,000 troops arrive, all their efforts will be in vain!  "Liu Jianguo said with a worried look. "Don't be afraid. When Zhang Xiaoliu's troops get the news, they won't be able to arrive for three or four days.  We can use all available air force, artillery and tank units to deter the trapped Northeastern Army by force.  After shocking their courage and destroying their morale, we can then launch a political and psychological offensive to disintegrate them from within. Once successful, these will be 20,000 well-trained and high-quality soldiers.  Once it is in our hands, within half a year, we will be able to add a few more motorized infantry divisions based on this.  "Zhang Xinghan thought of this and sighed happily: "If the 7th Duli Brigade is eaten by me again this time, I guess our young marshal will be so angry that he vomits blood. The captain of the Northeast Transportation Brigade, he is the leader.  deal.  "(To be continued

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 246: Internal and External Attacks

    More than an hour later, the city defense of Chaoyang County, He Lichong's elite 7th Brigade, was attacked repeatedly and reached a critical point.  "Commander, is it almost time? Liu Dongqing reported that if we don't attack, the motorized infantry battalion will have to retreat to the city and fight with the enemy in the streets!" Liu Jianguo said anxiously.  Zhang Xinghan threw away the unknown number of cigarette butts, stood up suddenly, adjusted the helmet on his head, and said in a solemn voice: "Give me the order, all the troops will attack immediately. Jianguo, you and Du Ting will each command the troops, and immediately attack Chaoyang City."  The Northeast Army outside carried out an encirclement, and at the same time notified Liu Dongqing to lead a tank regiment to attack from the city to support the encirclement! " "Yes!" Liu Jianguo immediately stood up and agreed happily, turned around and left quickly as ordered.  "Zhongzi, please notify the entire guard camp to assemble immediately and follow me to meet this old boy He Lichong!" After Liu Jianguo left, Zhang Xinghan turned to the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong and ordered.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded loudly, turned around and gave the order.  The order was quickly passed on. Attack the two main infantry regiments of the 4th Division (less than one motorized infantry battalion), all three main infantry regiments of the 10th Division, and one tank regiment. Attack six regiments with nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers in all directions.  They rushed towards the rising sun ten kilometers away.  The heavy artillery regiments directly under the two divisions were also dragged by cars and followed the attacking troops.  In such an assault battle, the artillery unit was unable to provide effective fire support from the beginning.  Their mission is to provide artillery support to the attacking forces after the encirclement is formed and during subsequent attacks.  ?This way we can make enough time.  The distance of ten kilometers is not close, but for the Northeast New Army, which has all completed tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks, it only takes half an hour at most.  More than twenty minutes later.  The leading tank regiment of the 10th Division took the lead in encountering a small guard force of the Northeastern Army in the south of the city.  With a fierce shelling and firepower, the security force that tried to use its arms as a chariot was defeated.  There was no chance to even rush back to call the police.  Senior commanders such as He Lichong and Li Shusen subconsciously believed that the main force of the Northeastern New Army in Jinzhou was incompetent.  It is absolutely impossible to appear in Chaoyang, let alone the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army whose quality is far inferior to that of the Japanese army.  Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Northeast New Army tank unit was too sudden for them.  They were caught off guard and defeated in a hurry.  Generally speaking, security forces will set up security posts in areas quite far away from the battleground.  In addition, Chaoyang City was already filled with gunshots and flames reaching into the sky, even some Northeastern Army sentries who had survived desperately fired signal flares.  It also failed to serve as a warning.  The assault speed of the tank troops is naturally faster than the pace of these sentries.  And it didn’t take long for a large number of Northeastern New Army infantry to jump out of the military trucks that were speeding towards them.  Carrying weapons under the command of their respective officers.  Swarming in behind the tank regiment.  "Charge, kill!" Tens of thousands of Northeastern new officers and soldiers roared in unison, with overwhelming momentum, advancing rapidly from the south of the city to the east and west of the city respectively.  The Northeastern Army's offensive troops in the south of the city were directly overwhelmed by the vast wave of new Northeastern troops.  Among them, the tank regiment detached a company to attack the Northeast Army's attack force in the south of the city.  Lead the infantry in the assault.  The rest of the main forces are leading and covering the infantry assault from the west gate direction. The reason is very simple. The west gate direction is the only route for the Northeast Army to retreat and is the top priority.  As for the troops attacking from the east gate, their purpose is to attack the Northeastern Army outside the north gate in a roundabout way.  At the same time, the tank regiment of the **4th Division, which had been waiting in the city for a long time, also marched from the south and north of the city under the personal leadership of regiment leader Liu Dongqing.  The west of the city divided into three groups to fight out.  The officers and soldiers of the Motorized Infantry Battalion, who had already become red-eyed after struggling to support them, took advantage of the situation and followed closely behind.  For a moment, the situation on the battlefield immediately took a turn for the worse.  The Northeastern Army, which was still trying its best to attack just now, was immediately attacked by the New Northeastern Army from both inside and outside. The South Gate and West Gate were especially the first to bear the brunt.  On the battlefield, there were intensive gunshots and cannon fire, shouts of killing, angry curses, and wailings, one after another, and could not be heard without interruption.  In the light of the fire, under the fierce attack of the tanks of the New Northeast Army, the offensive troops of the Northeast Army were quickly defeated.  They all fled towards the west gate and retreated.  Only the Northeast Army at the north gate has not been attacked yet.  Four kilometers away, He Lichong and Li Shusen, who had returned to the headquarters, were alarmed by the sudden shouts of killing and explosions coming from the battlefield.  "What's going on? What happened?" He Lichong askedShusen looked at each other with shock in their eyes.  Not long after, a major officer ran in with a disgraced face and a panic, forgetting to even salute.  He said in a hurried tone: "Brigade, Brigade, no, it's not good" "What's wrong? Tell me clearly!" He Lichong was startled and stood up to yell.  The major officer took a moment to adjust his breathing and said: "Brigade, something bad has happened. The main force of the Northeast New Army is coming!" "What did you say?" He Lichong was shocked.  "The main force of the Northeastern New Army came, numbering tens of thousands, as well as tanks and armored troops. The enemy troops in the city also suddenly came out. With the main force, they cooperated with each other inside and outside, attacking from both sides. Our siege troops were caught off guard and found it difficult to resist.  Defeated!" the major officer replied with a condescending expression.  He Lichong felt like he was mourning and asked unwillingly: "All defeated?" "Oh, the Northeastern New Army hasn't reached the north gate yet, and the two battalions at the north gate are still attacking!" the major adjutant replied quickly.  He Lichong fell into deep thought. Li Shusen was horrified and seemed to be talking to himself and to He Lichong: "Isn't the main force of the Northeast New Army in Jinzhou? Isn't our main force already out of seclusion? How dare they come to Chaoyang?" "  Don't say anything, the top priority is how to fight this battle!" He Lichong said with an angry tone.  Li Shusen looked at him and said with frustration: "Our army has been attacking continuously for half the night. With the rapid march in the past few days, the morale of the troops and the physical strength of the officers and soldiers have already reached the limit. Now these bastards of the Northeast New Army suddenly  Fighting out. Failure is inevitable. I think we should gather our troops quickly and wait for reinforcements!" As soon as Li Shusen finished speaking, a rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and another unkempt captain officer ran with a hurried look.  Come in.  Seeing He Lichong and Li Shusen, they immediately reported in a tearful tone: "Brigade, it's not good, the Northeastern New Army has surrounded our offensive troops, and our connection with the offensive troops has been cut off." "What?"  Both Li Shusen and He Lichong's expressions changed dramatically.  "Brother Li, my three regiments have basically gone into the attack. Please send troops immediately to support their breakout. We will withdraw into the mountains first and then make plans!" He Lichong knew that there was no hope of saving the battle, so he immediately said to Li Shusen.  "Well, brother He, please rest assured that Li will go all out, and you and I will advance and retreat together!" Li Shusen agreed immediately.  …………… On a dirt road in a field about ten kilometers west of Chaoyang, Zhang Xinghan personally led hundreds of guards and soldiers to rush toward the northwest.  Two snow-white beams of light burst out from the front of the car, which were very dazzling in the dark night.  This time, Zhang Xinghan sat directly on the armored vehicle on which the communications troops were riding, so that the communications troops could report the latest battle situation to him in a timely manner.  "Didi!" The voice on the radio almost never stops.  The communications soldier quickly translated a message and handed it to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, the 4th Division and the 10th Division have completed the siege of the enemy's attacking troops! They are currently under siege, but the enemy's follow-up troops are attacking us.  The troops launched an attack, seeming to want to break the encirclement and coordinate the evacuation of the siege troops. " Zhang Xinghan took the message, read it, pondered for a while, and then said to the communications troops: "Immediately send electricity to Liu Jianguo and Du Ting, and the enemy will use it to attack the city.  The troops will never exceed 10,000 people. Our goal is not just to eat their attacking troops. We told Liu Jianguo to hand over the siege task to the 10th Division. The 4th Division opened its mouth and immediately rounded up the enemy's follow-up troops.  Come in!" "Yes!" the communication soldier responded loudly, turning around and starting to generate electricity quickly.  PS: I went to take my driver’s license test today. I could have written three thousand words for this chapter, but I was just discussing the plot with the editor.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 247: Complete the siege

    On the battlefield, after receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Liu Jianguo immediately commanded the two infantry regiments under his command to cancel the blockade and make way for the Northeast Army's rescue force to join the siege force.  [Queen of Training] **The regiments of the 10th Division and the city defense troops of the 4th Division immediately launched a fierce attack on the Northeast Army, entangling the reinforcements of the Northeast Army.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two infantry regiments of Liu Jianguo's command post bypassed the battlefield in two ways and began to make a detour to the west.  "Brigade, it's not good, the rescue team is entangled by the enemy and cannot escape from the battle in a short time!" In the headquarters, an officer of the 22nd Brigade reported to Li Shusen with a panic look.  "What?" Li Shusen's face changed drastically, he stood up and looked at He Lichong with panic in his eyes.  He Lichong also looked solemn and fell into deep thought.  “Brother He, think of a solution quickly, what should we do?” Li Shusen was anxious.  He Lichong said directly to the officer: "Send the order, all units should break away from the battle as soon as possible, don't be reluctant to fight, and retreat towards Phoenix Mountain!" "Sir, no, the tanks of the Northeast New Army are running rampant and have already attacked our troops.  The troops are in disarray, and they are almost scattered, and there is no way to escape from the battle!" the officer said with a sad face.  "Then we can withdraw as much as we can, and we can't continue to struggle with them, otherwise it will all be damned at dawn!" He Li roared impulsively.  The officer looked at Li Shusen with embarrassment. Li Shusen nodded helplessly. He quickly saluted, turned around and left quickly.  After a chase and assault, the two tank regiments of the Northeastern New Army have wedged themselves fiercely into the Northeastern Army like two sharp blades.  At this moment, the on-board machine gun of the tank combat vehicle exerted its power to its fullest, and wherever the hot tongues of flames touched, miserable howls continued.  The stubborn Northeastern Army fell one after another.  More infantrymen chased them with guns in hand. Most of the Northeastern troops who had been beaten to death by the tank troops had no intention of resisting.  Under the scolding of the Northeastern New Army, who shouted to surrender their guns but not to kill, they all dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.  Due to the rapid detour of Liu Jianguo's troops, the back roads of several regiments of the **7th Brigade and the 22nd Brigade were almost completely cut off.  After trying his best, he finally managed to open the breach and break through the siege.  But only less than half of the troops broke out, and most of the rest were wiped out. Of course, not many of them actually died. Most of them were forced to hand over their guns and surrender and became prisoners.  After ordering the troops to break away from the battle.  He Lichong and Li Shusen took the lead in evacuating the headquarters with a group of guards, planning to withdraw towards Phoenix Mountain.  Just halfway through, Zhang Xinghan commanded Guo Zhong to lead the guard battalion to suddenly rush out.  The officers and soldiers of the well-equipped guard battalion used all their firepower. Dozens of general-purpose machine guns guarded both sides of the road, forming a crossfire that blocked the westward escape of He Lichong and Li Shusen's guard troops.  "Brother He, we are ambushed. What should we do?" In a depression, Li Shusen crawled to He Lichong in panic and asked with his head lowered.  "Damn it, we've been screwed this time, son of a bitch Zhang Xinghan, I'll fight with them!" He Lichong pressed his pistol against the brim of his helmet, with a ferocious look on his dusty face.  Finished.  He had to get up and lead the charge.  "Brother He, you can't do this. The Northeastern New Army has been prepared for a long time. If you rush forward like this, you will die. You will leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. The main force has more or less broken out. Let's retreat first, gather the troops, and go up.  Tushan is waiting for help, please ask the young marshal for help quickly." Li Shusen quickly grabbed him.  He Lichong hesitated for a while, and finally sighed angrily.  With Li Shusen holding the belt, the team withdrew.  "Brothers, chase me!" Guo Zhong held a flower machine in his hand and raised his arms and shouted.  Hundreds of officers and soldiers from the guard camp quickly stood up, opened fire with their guns in hand, and chased after Guo Zhong.  Guo Zhong led the guard battalion to pursue them all the way to the mountain where He Lichong and Li Shusen's original headquarters were located.  This is the remaining area of ??Phoenix Mountain.  But wanting to enter the mountain is different, because there is a natural chasm tens of meters wide separated from the real Phoenix Mountain area.  At the same time, the main force of the Northeastern New Army also chased the defeated troops of less than two regiments of He and Li and pursued them.  The two forces joined forces and surrounded the remaining troops of the Northeast Army in the mountains and woods.  Due to terrain restrictions, the tank regiment was unable to continue the assault. Liu Jianguo and Du Ting directed the troops to encircle them while quickly reporting the situation to Zhang Xinghan.  Ten minutes later, Zhang Xinghan arrived at the battlefield in a car with a guard platoon.  Liu Jian???, Du Ting, Guo Zhong, Liu Dongqing and others immediately came forward.  "Commander, Commander" Everyone stood up and saluted. Guo Zhong and Liu Dongqing still had obvious black and gray on their faces.  "Brothers, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xinghan saluted in unison and asked, "How is the situation?" "The main force of the Northeast Army has basically been defeated by us. The number of prisoners is still being counted. The remaining troops have followed the pursuit of Battalion Commander Guo just now.  That small force retreated to the hill and was still fighting!" Liu Jianguo turned around and pointed side by side at the mountain road where fire light flashed from time to time.  "If I guessed correctly, the small force that Zhongzi was chasing just now should be the headquarters of He and Li." Zhang Xinghan squinted and looked ahead.  "No wonder the firepower is stronger than that of the ordinary Northeast Army. When we fought just now, I found that the guy in the opponent's hands is really not weak, that is, there are fewer machine guns than us." Guo Zhong suddenly realized.  "Commander, what should we do next? Should we continue to attack, or wait until dawn and call the air force to bomb before attacking and completely annihilate them all!" Du Ting and Liu Dongqing were both eager to try, with fighting spirit in their eyes.  "Don't worry, they have become turtles in the urn, and annihilating them is a sure thing. Let's surround them first. Let's go back to the city and take a look." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Yes!" Liu, Du and others immediately stood up and responded.  Riding the car back to the city, we could see the remains of the explosion and the bodies of soldiers from both sides everywhere along the way.  But more of them were prisoners of the Northeast Army in groups, being escorted into the city by soldiers.     at the same time.  On Tushan Mountain, He Lichong was urging communications personnel to send a telegram for help to Zhang Xueliang.  After ordering, the telecommunications soldiers sent the electrical text.  He Lichong breathed out a sigh of relief.  We came to a huge rock.  Li Shusen was standing on it, looking ahead in the distance, with some unburned fires flickering and swaying in the dark night.  "Brother He, I'm afraid we're going to fail in this battle." Li Shusen said worriedly.  He Lichong didn't say much. Of course he knew what Li Shusen meant by "fucked."  After pondering for a while, he steeled himself and said, "How many more people do we have?" "Less than half." Li Shusen replied with an ashen face.  He Lichong's figure was a little shaky.  A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The nearly 20,000 troops in the two brigades have now lost more than half.  "I have sent an emergency telegram to the young marshal. I believe the young marshal will not give up on us." He Lichong patted Li Shusen on the shoulder and encouraged: "Keep going, the reinforcements will definitely arrive." "We only have less than three people.  The strength of this regiment is at such a small place. Once daybreak, the air force and heavy artillery force of the Northeast New Army will pose a great threat to us. Can we hold it?" Li Shusen lost confidence and cried.  "We have to defend even if we can't. The worst we can do is to die. The battle is like this. We don't have the shame to go back to see the young commander!" He Lichong said with despair.  When he mentioned death, Li Shusen’s expression suddenly changed, with obvious fear in his eyes.  ????????????????????????????????????????On the railway line leading to Shanhaiguan, a military column is roaring and galloping.  Located in the middle car of the train, Zhang Xueliang was lying on the bed to rest.  Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door woke him up.  Zhang Xueliang stood up after hearing the sound, "Who?" "Young Marshal. It's me, Dazhang!" The voice of the adjutant Chen Dazhang came from outside.  Zhang Xueliang opened the door and saw Chen Dazhang holding a telegram in his hand. With a hint of gloom in his eyebrows, he saluted him and said, "Young Marshal, I'm sorry, I just received an urgent request for help telegram from General He." "What?  A telegram for help?" Zhang Xueliang suddenly lost all sleep, with a look of astonishment on his face.  Chen Dazhang awkwardly handed him the message in his hand and said sadly: "General He called and said that the 7th and 22nd Brigade was suddenly attacked by the main force of the Northeast New Army during the attack.  "Our army was attacked from both sides and suffered a disastrous defeat." Zhang Xueliang took the message with shock on his face, and after reading it hastily, his hands were visibly shaking.  The corners of his mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth as he said: "The main force of the Northeastern New Army? Aren't they in Jinzhou? How come they suddenly appeared in Chaoyang?" "I don't know my humble position." Chen Dazhang lowered his head: "Could it be that the intelligence is inaccurate." "Staff Rong  Where is the chief? Ask him to come see me immediately." Zhang Xueliang raised his hand and ordered.  "Yes!" Chen Dazhang saluted quickly.  Take the order and leave.  Not long after, ?He rushed over with a hurried expression.  Zhang Xueliang handed him He Lichong's request for help telegram and said expressionlessly: "Chief of Staff, what do you think is going on?" Rong Zhen took the telegram and read it in a hurry, then looked up at Zhang Xueliang's face with a sad expression.  With eyes full of anger, he shuddered and said: "Young Marshal, this must be Zhang Xinghan. This person is extremely cunning. It must be him who took the risk to concentrate his troops to besiege my vanguard before my main force arrived!" "Asshole, order.  He Zhuguo immediately sends troops for reinforcements! Rescue the 7th and 22nd Brigade for me no matter what!" Zhang Xueliang clenched his fists and shouted angrily.  "Yes!" Rong Jin was already in a state of confusion and quickly lowered his head in response.  ????????…More than half an hour has passed in Chaoyang City.  Zhang Xinghan was drinking tea in the headquarters when a rush of footsteps sounded from outside.  Zhang Xinghan looked up and saw Liu Jianguo walking in quickly. He put down his tea cup. Zhang Xinghan stood up and asked, "Jianguo, how are you? Have the results been calculated?" Liu Jianguo couldn't help but smile and said, "Commander, we've made a lot of money this time.  "How many people do you think we captured this time?" "How many?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "There are more than 5,000 people. The two battalions in the north of the city have been cut off. Almost all of them surrendered. In addition, many Northeastern troops have been dispersed. The troops are dividing their forces to pursue them." Liu Jianguo smiled.  road.  "Okay, five thousand people. Counting those who were scattered and those who were killed, the strength of the Northeast Army on the mountain is less than half." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 248: Conquering the enemy without fighting (Part 1)

    "Yes." Liu Jianguo said, "Commander, what should we do next? The leading troops of the Northeastern Army have been defeated and trapped by our army. Marshal Zhang should soon learn that we must resolve the battle as soon as possible." "Let's go,  Let's go to the city first to see the prisoners. Whether we can defeat the enemy without fighting depends on these prisoners." Zhang Xinghan picked up his helmet and said to Liu Jianguo.  There is a prisoner resettlement in the city, and Liu Dongqing is leading a group of officers and soldiers to escort the prisoners they just captured to the resettlement.  At this time, inside the settlement, some cooks and field ambulance personnel from the Northeastern New Army were distributing food to the prisoners and treating the wounded.  "Hey, big guy, you are still alive." Liu Dongqing accidentally caught a glimpse of the large second lieutenant of the Northeast Army who was captured by him.  He was leaning against the big man in military uniform who was sitting in a corner, turned his head with his eyes closed, and ignored Liu Dongqing, who had a smile on his face.  "Hey, boy, you're quite arrogant, but I like it." Liu Dongqing strode over and said with a smile: "Boy, do you see clearly now? Your 20,000-strong army is about to be completely annihilated. How can you not accept it?"  Convinced?" "Humph!" The big man still turned his head to the other side in disdain.  "The Commander-in-Chief is here!" Liu Dongqing wanted to say something else, when a shout came from behind.  When Liu Dongqing heard this, he immediately turned around and saw several jeeps approaching. Some heavily armed guards had arrived first and spread out to enforce martial law.  Liu Dongqing immediately rushed forward to greet him.  Zhang Xinghan and others stepped out of a jeep. Liu Dongqing and several junior officers quickly stood up and saluted: "Commander." After Zhang Xinghan smiled and saluted the military salute, he looked around and asked, "Where are the captured prisoners?"  "Here?" "Not all here, but there are the most prisoners here." Liu Dongqing turned around and answered.  "Okay, right here, gather all the prisoners as soon as possible. I want to give them a speech." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes" Liu Dongqing took the order and left.  Not long after.  Two thousand Northeastern Army prisoners, including big men, were gathered in the open space on the street.  Under the supervision of the new Northeastern officers and soldiers, they stood in a rectangular queue.  Zhang Xinghan’s jeep was parked in front of the queue. Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but stood on the back seat of the jeep with his hands behind his back.  The prisoners of the Northeast Army looked at each other in confusion. They could not clearly see Zhang Xinghan's face and didn't know what they were going to do. Their eyes were full of confusion.  However, suddenly a familiar song sounded from the street behind Zhang Xinghan.  "You raise your head in anger till the night, and look at the sky where the moon is high. After serving in the army for thousands of miles, a good man has high aspirations. Since he is a man, he must serve the country. Riding the long wind, breaking through the huge waves, and returning home to wrap his body in horse leather, he will be a good man.  !” The decadence on the faces of the Northeast Army prisoners, including the big man, was instantly wiped away, and they looked ahead with complicated eyes.  Those familiar songs impacted their hearts like magic sounds.  This is the military song of their Northeastern Army. They have been learning to sing this military song since the day they joined the army. ?????????????????? Returning to his hometown and returning the body to Ma Ge will bring about a good outcome for the man!  The prisoners of the Northeast Army couldn't help but join in the chorus, singing, and many of them couldn't help but shed tears.  The song is over.  Some Northeastern Army prisoners even cried and burst into tears.  It has been two years, and they have been too aggrieved as members of the Northeast People's Soldiers.  Because of military orders, they were forced to abandon their hometown and the parents who raised them.  They even lost their honor as soldiers and withdrew into the pass in an extremely cowardly manner.  It can be said without exaggeration.  The September 18th Incident has always been a pain in the hearts of all Northeastern officers and soldiers who retreated into the customs.  It is a great shame and humiliation in their military career.  Floating in the pass, far away from home, they missed their relatives.  I miss the hometown where I grew up and lived for generations.  At this moment, the emotions they had suppressed in their hearts completely burst out, including shame, grievance, and bitterness.  Zhang Xinghan cleared his throat at the right time and said loudly: "Brothers of the Northeast Army, why are you crying? Why are you sad?" Zhang Xinghan's voice was deep and loud, and most of the prisoners of the Northeast Army present could hear it clearly.  They involuntarily raised their heads and focused their attention on Zhang Xinghan.  No one answered Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan said loudly: "I know why you are crying, and I even know why you are sad. That's because you are worried about having a family for yourself.""Return, it is sad that the country's hatred cannot be avenged."  "As a soldier, especially one who is a soldier of the people of the Northeast, we cannot protect our hometown in the Northeast. As a man, it is shameful that we cannot protect our parents, wives and children.  “I also know that the majority of Northeast military brothers have a passionate and patriotic heart, and we Northeast men will never be cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death.  "The reason why you fled without fighting and retreated into the pass is because you had military orders and you couldn't help yourself.  Today, we are at war with you. This battle is not fought by Zhang or me.  It’s our young marshal who wants to fight. Of course, as a member of Zeng Jin’s Northeastern Army, I shouldn’t comment on marshal Zhang behind his back.  What I want to say is that everyone should have a sharp eye on right and wrong.  Since being ordered to face danger on September 18, Zhang, with less than 10,000 troops, led his troops to fight the Japanese invaders in a bloody battle with Shenyang. After several battles, he failed to hold Shenyang in the end.  "But what Zhang and his brothers have done can be learned from the heavens. We are worthy of the military uniform we wear, and we are worthy of the 30 million elders in our hometown."  Today, thanks to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the three armies and the full support of millions of elders, Xinghan was able to defeat the Japanese invaders and was about to regain the lost land and regain the country.  But the young commander was afraid that Zhang would become bigger. At this critical moment, he did not want to send troops for reinforcements. Instead, he ordered his troops to attack the rear of our New Army. His sinister intentions were clearly exposed.  In order to protect our retreat and continue to use all our strength to deal with the Japanese army, Xinghan had no choice but to lead his troops to fight back.  Having said all this to everyone, Xinghan just wants all the brothers present here to understand that our New Army is by no means a force that is keen on going to war against our compatriots.  We take it as our duty to defend our country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to protect our fellow citizens, and for this we are willing to shed our last drop of blood.  The brothers present today are all our relatives. There is no need for us to fight against each other and do such bastard things that make our relatives hate each other and make our enemies happy.  We should turn our guns to the outside world to deal with the Japanese.  “Everyone is a soldier, a five-foot-tall man. As Northeastern soldiers, we should fight for our hometown and our wives, children, and children.  Our real enemies are those little Japanese who invaded our land, destroyed our home, and massacred our relatives.  As long as you are still a man and you still have those two eggs in your crotch, you should take up your guns and fight our sworn enemies to the end.  "As long as you are willing, I, Zhang Xinghan, can forget the past and give you new unit numbers, weapons and equipment, so that you can fight for your hometown elders and fight to wash away your shame.  "Having said this, Zhang Xinghan paused and glanced at the crowd of captives who were already silent. Strike while the iron is hot: "Brothers, would you rather be wandering outside, carrying the shameful reputation of non-resistance, than return to your hometown, one day before the snow?  Shame?  " "Sir, I have heard of your name a long time ago. My mother sent you a letter. The brothers in the New Army are all good. It was you who defeated the little Japs.  "Many people in my village have joined the New Army. As long as the commander doesn't mind, I will join you from now on. Like my brothers in the same village, I will follow you, the commander, to fight the Japanese."  I don’t want my mother to hold her head high in the village anymore. I want everyone in the village to know that Liu Dagou is also a national hero who fights Japanese devils.  “We are no longer a naive coward, we are also a upright and respectable man!  "A prisoner of the Northeast Army took off his military cap and threw it to the ground. "I have joined the New Army, and I also want to fight the Japanese!  " "Grandma, we also want to fight the Japanese. The only problem in our village is that I have never beaten the Japanese!"  "With someone taking the lead, the captives who had been agitated for a long time all responded. The big second lieutenant did not follow the other companions to express their stance. Instead, he quietly took off the helmet on his head and threw it silently on the ground. "Very good.  Okay, brothers are all warm-blooded good men, and Zhang will definitely treat everyone equally from now on.  I have ordered the cooking team to prepare dinner for everyone. Let’s have a good meal first and have a good rest!  "Zhang Xinghan waved his head and hands with great satisfaction. "Okay, let's all leave!  "Liu Dongqing also waved with joy on his face. The captive soldiers dispersed one after another, but compared to the previous decadence, hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and they walked much more firmly and powerfully than before. Liu Dongqing soon discovered that,  One person walked over curiously and asked, "Big man, what are you doing here?"  Something's wrong?  "The big man suddenly stood up and looked Liu Dongqing in the face and said, "You said I could be a tank soldier, but I don't know.Doesn't it count?  Liu Dongqing smiled when he heard this and said, "Boy, have you figured it out?"  "The big man was silent. Liu Dongqing patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Brother, to tell you the truth, driving a tank is different from riding a horse. It requires professional training.  But I promise you, as long as you are willing to work hard to learn, you will definitely be able to become a qualified tank soldier.  You are a scout, so your combat experience is definitely better than that of a recruit who has just joined the army, and you can master weapons much faster. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, you will definitely be able to do it!  " "But that has to wait until this battle is over. Now, if you want, you can stay in my guard and become a guard.  " "Yes, thank you sir!  "The big guy responded happily. "By the way, big guy, what's your name?  Liu Dongqing asked. "Liu Dahai!"  "The big guy replied. "Liu Dahai?  I and I were still the same family five hundred years ago!  Okay, let’s go eat first!  "Liu Dongqing laughed happily and waved his hands. (To be continued.)

    Under Zhang Xinghan's instruction, more than 5,000 captive soldiers received better food treatment and a full meal.  "Compared to them, the remnants of the Northeastern Army who were besieged on the mountain outside the city were hungry and panicked, and their morale could be said to be at its lowest point.  They continued to suffer like this until dawn, and He Lichong, Li Shusen and others did not sleep a wink all night.  "Brother He, it's dawn." Li Shusen looked like the end was coming.  He Lichong looked at him and said angrily: "I saw it." After a pause, He Lichong still managed to cheer up and said: "The young marshal has already called back, and the reinforcements are coming with all their strength. They will arrive soon. We will  As long as we persist and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we will definitely have a chance to turn defeat into victory!" Li Shusen said a little discouraged: "It's easy to say, Zhang Xinghan surrounded us, but he didn't attack for half a day, so what if he was really worried about the arrival of our reinforcements?  Will it give us a chance to breathe? " He Lichong remained silent and did not answer Li Shusen's words. Although he did not know what kind of medicine Zhang Xinghan was selling, both he and Li Shusen knew it.  It may not be that easy for the reinforcements to arrive smoothly. If nothing else, the Northeast New Army's air force alone is enough to overwhelm the reinforcements during the day.  This is not the worst thing. What He Lichong and Li Shusen are most afraid of is Zhang Xinghan mobilizing air force fighter planes to carry out coverage bombing of the mountains they are trapped in.  That will cause unimaginable damage to them.  After spending about half an hour in uneasiness, a group of Northeast New Army fighter planes flew over Tushan and began to circle continuously.  But the expected air raid did not happen.  Looking at the planes circling back and forth in the sky, Li Shusen said to He Lichong with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother He, what are they trying to do? They are neither bombing nor strafing. Are they showing off their flying skills to us?" He Lichong shook his head gently.  He shook his head, thinking silently.  At this moment, a major officer ran over from the front in a panic.  "Brigade, it's bad, please take a look. The Northeastern New Army at the foot of the mountain is making big moves!" The major officer turned around and pointed in the direction of the foot of the mountain before he could salute and said hurriedly.  He Lichong and Li Shusen’s expressions changed immediately when they heard this, and they climbed up a huge rock with binoculars.  Standing on a high place and looking down, He Lichong and Li Shusen were shocked.  What they saw were large-caliber artillery lined up in a row. The black muzzles removed some bunkers and were all pointed in the direction of the mountain.     This is.  ** Naked force deterrence.  He Lichong and Li Shusen thought to themselves almost at the same time.  As expected, two tanks suddenly drove up from the foot of the mountain.  The tanks stopped when they reached a safe location, but a simple horn was erected on the roof of one of the tanks.  "Brothers from the Northeastern Army on the mountain listened and had something to tell each other. We are all brothers from the same origin and have no hatred at all. Our real enemy is little Japan. "Zhang Xinghan, the commander-in-chief of the Northeastern New Army, thought of this and expressed his gratitude for this.  To avoid unnecessary casualties, please put down your weapons immediately and surrender. Otherwise, our air force and artillery can level the entire mountain with a snap. We, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, promise that as long as you put down your weapons, we will not kill anyone.  "Giving comes with a wait. The treatment your comrades received is the best proof of this." The shouting had just ended, but He Lichong and Li Shusen had not yet come to their senses to respond.  But the familiar singing voice suddenly sounded from behind the two tanks.  Including He Lichong, everyone on the mountain was already in a state of anxiety, and the restless Northeast Army was all taken aback.  As the singing became louder and louder, the Northeast officers and soldiers on Tushan heard it more clearly.  Some people began to cry bitterly.  Li Shusen suddenly pointed to the distance down the mountain and said, "Brother He, look quickly." He Lichong, who was emotionally affected, was startled and quickly raised his telescope to look.  What came into view was a dark crowd. To be precise, it was a crowd composed of Northeastern military officers and soldiers.  There were so many people, and it was so dark that it seemed like you couldn't see the edge.  "They are our people." Li Shusen took a breath of air.  He Lichong’s expression changed drastically. He saw the captives at the foot of the mountain holding up the Chinese and not beating the Chinese. We are brothers of Paoze.  Let's fight against the Japanese and other eye-catching banners together.  Singing the military song "Good Man" of their Northeast Army, they were slowly approaching Tushan.  "Brother He, what should we do?" Li Shusen was anxious.     this is oneThe emotions of the officers and soldiers guarding the front line have been completely aroused.  Trapped in a desperate situation and with low morale, they were feeling sad and ashamed, like a flood that burst a dam and was out of control.  There were soldiers wailing and crying everywhere, and some even desperately climbed out of the temporary fortifications and ran down the mountain.  After the military song was finished, the captured soldiers stopped as a precaution.  A group of captive representatives headed by Tieniu, Big Man and others arrived at the foot of Tushan under the cover of tanks.  Several people took the risk and stood side by side. Tieniu couldn't restrain his excitement and shouted to his comrades on Tushan: "Brothers, I am Tieniu of the 620th Regiment. The Northeast New Army is the real army that fights the Japanese. We  Many people in the village joined the New Army. I was captured by them yesterday and was not treated in any way. On the contrary, they gave everyone a rare meal. Commander-in-Chief Zhang was right. As soldiers, we were left behind.  Our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters have abandoned the hometown where we were born and raised. This is a shame. Following the young marshal, we were scolded as cowards and cowards in the customs. I never want to return to the customs to be cowards and cowards.  Good thing. If I want to stay in my hometown and join the New Army to fight the Japanese, I will die. I am also a well-known Northeast man and worthy of being a fellow villager in my hometown. So, brothers, stop fighting and put down your weapons.  Come out and surrender. Look behind us, there are hundreds of cannons waiting! Look at the sky, they are all planes of the Northeastern New Army, so Commander-in-Chief Zhang did not give the order to fire.  From a high place, He Lichong put down his telescope angrily, turned around and shouted: "Adjutant, give me the order to the front, open fire immediately, and kill those scoundrels!  " "Wait a minute, Brother He, don't be impulsive.  Li Shusen looked up at the planes that were still swooping and circling in the sky, and said with a grimace: "If we piss them off, we will really be doomed."  " "Then we can't let them continue to confuse the morale of the army. If this continues, the army will collapse.  He Lichong turned around and shouted resolutely: "Why the hell are you still cold?"  Give me the order immediately!  "    "yes!  "The adjutant took the order and left. However, the order was conveyed to the front line, but no one carried it out at all. The big man's words aroused greater commotion and resonance. "Brothers, fight with the Northeast New Army, then  It's like hitting the right hand with the left hand. If the hit is disabled or interrupted, the only one who hurts is ourselves.  "If you beat him to death, you will only get a bad name."  "However, fighting the Japanese is different. Since the September 18th Incident, what Commander-in-Chief Zhang has done has been witnessed by all of us.  "We are both soldiers, wouldn't we be ashamed?"  Now, Commander-in-Chief Zhang has a lot of people who are willing to ignore the past grievances, accept us to fight against Japan together, and distribute the best weapons and equipment to us.  When we charge, we have tanks on the ground, planes in the sky, and endless supplies of ammunition.  Brothers, you should cherish it. Even if you die after beating the little Japanese, it will be a lesson for history. We will all be national anti-Japanese heroes in the future. We will never be stabbed in the back again. Brothers, don’t hesitate anymore.  Let's all go down the mountain.  It would be better to die to protect the country than to be injured in the civil war!  " In the distance, Liu Dongqing smiled with satisfaction and said: "Grandma, this big guy didn't realize that his eloquence is pretty good.  " "Bridge, the front is reversed.  "The adjutant ran back with a sad face. "What?  Inverted?  "He Lichong suddenly changed his color. "No one carried out your order at all, and even a slap in the face was given for a lowly position!  "The adjutant covered his face and said with an aggrieved look. "Brother He, look, it's not good, the soldiers have mutinied.  "Li Shusen suddenly reminded. He Lichong quickly raised his telescope and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers in the forward position jumping out of the trenches, holding weapons, and going down the mountain. And their actions triggered a chain reaction, and more soldiers  They began to stand up one after another and follow each other. "It's over" He Lichong dropped the telescope in his hand in vain, and muttered with his face ashen as he staggered. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 250: Japanese Attack

    "Commander, a reconnaissance plane flying a regiment reported that a large number of Northeastern troops are heading towards us." On top of the west gate of Chaoyang County, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Liu Jianguo and others, was watching with interest a large number of Northeastern troops who had just surrendered below the city.  , a communications soldier rushed to the top of the city, saluted and reported.  Zhang Xinghan put away his smile when he heard this, turned around and said: "The air group was ordered to dispatch fighters immediately and bombers to conduct air strikes to slow down the enemy's evacuation speed." "Yes!" The communications soldier immediately saluted and took the order to rush towards the city.  go.  Watching the communications troops rushing down the city, Liu Jianguo asked incomprehensibly: "Commander, what did you mean when you said that the air force would delay the enemy's evacuation?" "He Lichong and Li Shusen's troops have been completely wiped out. If what I expected is true,  , Our Marshal Zhang should order his additional troops to stop advancing and retreat, right?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  Liu Jianguo suddenly understood, and immediately clapped his thigh and said: "Commander, please leave this pursuit mission to me. I will personally lead the pursuit!" "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded, but did not forget to say: "Remember this,  We must cooperate closely with the air force and take advantage of the enemy's chaos to cover up and kill them. We must not rush in deeply. After all, our forces are limited and we must give full play to our advantages in mobility and firepower. Next, we do not seek to annihilate the enemy, but only to frighten them and harass them.  We are exhausted and have to return to the pass." "Yes, Commander, please be careful, Jianguo must be careful!" Liu Jianguo stood up and saluted: "Commander, take care!" Zhang Xinghan saluted in awe.  Liu Jianguo immediately turned around and hurried downstairs, and was ordered to leave.  ……………………………… Shanhaiguan, the Provisional General Headquarters of the Northeast Army.  Marshal Zhang had just gotten out of the car, and He Zhuguo, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.  "Young Marshal!" Zhang Xiaoliu did not return the greeting, but opened his mouth and asked in a somewhat impatient tone: "How is it? How are He Lichong and the others doing now?" The faces of He Zhuguo and others suddenly turned pale.  Lowered his head.  Marshal Zhang had an ominous premonition and asked: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!" He Zhuguo had the courage to raise his head and quickly replied: "Young Marshal, most of the officers and soldiers of the **7th Brigade and the 22nd Brigade mutinied in front of the formation, and General He Lichong drew his gun and committed suicide.  , Li Shusen became a prisoner. "What?" Marshal Zhang was shocked when he heard this.  With a face full of disbelief, He Zhuguo stared at He Zhuguo with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious face: "What did you say? Mutiny? What the hell is going on?" He Zhuguo carefully reported briefly what he knew.  After some time.  Zhang Xueliang was already livid with anger and trembling all over. When he first entered the headquarters, he kicked a conference table to the ground and became furious.  He roared crazily: "Zhang Xinghan, I have nothing to do with you!" "Young Marshal, please calm down. At present, the reinforcements led by General Zhang (Zhang Zuoxiang) have arrived in Jianchang County. Should they be withdrawn? Let's discuss it calmly?" He Zhuguo  advised.  "Immediately send a message to Uncle Fuchen and order him to immediately lead his troops to advance towards Chaoyang. I will personally lead the follow-up troops to follow up and suppress the formation. I want to fight Zhang Xinghan to the death!" Zhang Xueliang said with a ferocious expression.  "Young Marshal, you must not do it. Now our vanguard unit has been wiped out, the morale of each unit is low, and the officers and soldiers are extremely emotionally unstable. It is really not appropriate to fight anymore!" He Zhuguo urged again in a hurry.  Zhang Xueliang was furious and was about to reprimand He Zhuguo.  A communications soldier suddenly walked in and saluted: "Young Marshal, Deputy Commander Zhang has called. Our reinforcements have been violently bombed by the enemy's air force. The morale of the troops has been severely reduced. He has ordered the troops to retreat to Shanhaiguan."  Hearing this, Zhang Xueliang's face suddenly became gloomy and scary. He Zhuguo took the opportunity to persuade: "Young Marshal, please calm down. Our army does not have air superiority. During the day, it is easy to expose the target and trigger an air attack from the enemy. Even if you plan to fight with  The decisive battle of the Northeast New Army will have to wait until dark, and Jinzhou will definitely be empty now that the enemy's main force is gathering in Chaoyang. The young commander should change the attack on Chaoyang to a surprise attack on Jinzhou. As long as we capture Jinzhou, we will do it.  You can advance and retreat, threatening the Northeast New Army's retreat. "Young Marshal, General He is right. Please think again, Marshal!" "Yes, Marshal, please think again!" Chief of Staff Rong Jing and others advised him.  .  ?????………… Liaodong Peninsula, Wafangdian battlefield.  Thanks to Zhang Xinghan’s instructions, Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan commanded the troops to crack the smoke tactics invented by the Japanese army in Yingkou following the example of Okamura Ningji.  With the powerful firepower and the flexible mobility and assault firepower of the tanks and armored forces, we held theLine of defense.  We repelled repeated attacks by Japanese troops three times our own.  At night, without the threat of the air force, the Japanese attack was particularly fierce.  While the Battle of Chaoyang was being victorious, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions in Wafangdian were also fighting the Japanese attack with blood.  “Maybe it was because they fought too hard last night, but the Japanese army didn’t launch another attack this morning.  The battlefield in Wafangdian rarely calmed down.  In the trenches of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division, Liu Zhenhu, deputy division commander and commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment, was patrolling the position with two guards.  Wherever he went, whether injured or not, everyone saluted him immediately.  Liu Zhenhu comforted them one by one, and unknowingly came to the front trenches.  The fighting conditions in the frontline trenches were the most brutal. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere in the trenches.  “The bodies of many fallen soldiers have not had time to be carried down yet, it’s not that they don’t want to carry them down.  The officers and soldiers were really too tired. They had been fighting fiercely for days. Those who could survive had already seen everything and their hearts were numb.  As soon as the gunfire stopped, the first thing they thought of was to rest. Apart from eating, they almost didn't even bother to move.  But when they saw Liu Zhenhu arriving, the officers and soldiers immediately cheered up and stood up to salute with their tired bodies.  "Regiment seat!" "Deputy division seat!" The officers and soldiers shouted in different directions.  Liu Zhenhu didn't take it seriously. After returning the courtesy to them one by one, he said: "Brothers, everyone has worked hard. Let's continue to rest." The officers and soldiers did not show any pretense. They sat back down one after another and rested against the trench again.  Liu Zhenhu stood in a foxhole and just raised his telescope when he discovered that a warning post set up in front of the position sent out a warning signal.  Liu Zhenhu immediately turned his head and shouted: "The Japanese are about to attack again, prepare to fight!" The officers and soldiers who seemed to be sick just now seemed to regain their energy in an instant, got up one after another, and quickly prepared for the battle.  Liu Zhenhu looked through his binoculars and could vaguely see a large group of Japanese troops slowly advancing towards them in a wide line of skirmishers.  During the day, the Japanese did not dare to shell, for fear of exposing the location of their regiment-level artillery positions and being retaliated by air strikes or heavy artillery from the Northeastern New Army.  Therefore, the Japanese attack during the day is purely based on people. Of course, large-scale shelling is not allowed, and there will still be no shortage of small-caliber artillery.  At this time, the two alert sentries returned to the front main trench along a narrow secret communication trench.  Liu Zhenhu immediately waved his hands to them, and when he came closer, he immediately opened his mouth and asked: "Have you seen it clearly? Is there anything unusual about the Japs this time?" The two sentries shook their heads almost at the same time, and one of them said: "Reporting to the regiment,  No abnormality was found. " "Okay, I understand, you can enter the combat position." Liu Zhenhu waved to them.  After the two sentries dispersed, Liu Zhenhu raised his binoculars uneasily. Seeing the Japanese attacking formation as before, Liu Zhenhu muttered to himself in confusion: "The little Japanese has been holding it in for a long time and he managed to come up with such a fart? Why?  I don’t think it’s that simple.” As the Japs advanced, a second lieutenant officer not far away in the trench suddenly shouted in surprise: “Commander, look, there seems to be something going on behind the Japs.” Liu Zhenhu quickly looked around.  I saw several balloon-like things suddenly rising in the direction of the Japanese attack position.  Although Liu Zhenhu attended the Northeast Martial Arts Lecture Hall, he had never been exposed to military hot air balloons.  "What do you want to do, little devil?" Liu Zhenhu was puzzled.  "Commander, what is this little devil's thing? It looks like a balloon." The second lieutenant platoon leader not far away said in the same puzzlement.  "How about we shoot it down with a machine gun?" A machine gunner next to the second lieutenant platoon leader asked tentatively.  Liu Zhenhu observed carefully and said: "There is no need to waste ammunition. The distance is too far and it is difficult to hit." Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden and faint whistling sound in the sky.  Soon, as the distance approached, Liu Zhenhu, who was holding the telescope, suddenly changed his expression and shouted angrily: "Quick, lie down! Everyone lie down!" (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 251: Japanese naval guns

    "必俅俅俅, swish, swish" Almost as Liu Zhenhu finished speaking, a rapid and harsh whistle of artillery shells sounded approaching.  The soldiers were horrified to see a ball of fire flying down from the sky in front of them.  Before the officers and soldiers could react, hundreds of super-large-caliber naval gun shells fell into the positions of one regiment and other nearby regiments, exploding in vain.  The violent explosion produced a powerful shock wave and vibration, even if a shell landed more than a hundred meters away from Liu Zhenhu.  He and the soldiers around him also felt a strong shock wave coming towards them, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.  The conditions were so bad that Liu Zhenhu and others fell down in the fortifications.  "Boom, boom, boom" Violent explosions sounded one after another. Liu Zhenhu only felt a buzzing in his ears, and his eardrums were shaken to the point of pain.  Looking down from a high altitude, we saw hundreds of artillery shells exploding one after another, turning the Wafangdian position of the Northeastern New Army into a sea of ??flames. Thick smoke continued to rise into the sky. The scene was very spectacular.  Due to the radio guidance of hot-air balloon observation, the artillery bombardment of the Japanese navy ships was very accurate. In the first round of firing, almost all the artillery shells fell into the positions of the Northeast New Army.  It turns out that after learning that the main force of the Northeastern New Army was used to attack the Northeastern Army leaving the customs, the number of air force sorties was also greatly reduced.  The cunning Okamura Neiji immediately suggested that Hishikari Taka mobilize the naval fleet hiding in the waters of Changshan Islands and cooperate with the ground army to launch a sudden fire attack on the new army in the northeast of Wafangdian.  In order to help the ground troops break through the Wafangdian defense line of the Northeast New Army and relieve the siege of Yingkou, Okamura Ningji once again led the Japanese army to bloom in the center, cooperate inside and outside, and win this battle.  This is also the reason why the Japanese army did not launch an attack all morning. They were waiting for the arrival of the naval fleet while making full preparations for it.  Observing hot air balloons is one of them.  The Japanese naval fleet, consisting of dozens of large ships and an astonishing number of gunboats, set out from the waters of the Changshan Islands and bypassed the Dalian and Lushun military ports.  Sail from south to north into the waters near Pulandian, which is only about 20 kilometers away from Wafangdian in a straight line, and is completely within the effective range of the Japanese large-caliber naval guns.  Coupled with the guidance of army observers, the Japanese naval guns are like having eyes, with an astonishingly high hit rate.  The caliber of conventional artillery installed on Japanese army cruisers is also above 240 mm, and even around 300 mm or even 400 mm.  Therefore, the power of the projectiles is far beyond what the 150mm heavy artillery of the Northeast New Army Army Heavy Artillery Brigade can match.  Hundreds of artillery shells fell and exploded, and a two-kilometer radius was immediately shrouded in dust and thick smoke.  The defensive fortifications repaired by the Northeastern New Army seemed extremely vulnerable at this moment. A little closer to the explosion point, they were instantly destroyed and turned into ruins.  Some new officers and soldiers inside also died heroically on the spot.  One of Liu Zhenhu's guards risked his life and climbed up to him, shouting: "Regiment leader, it's too dangerous here. You'd better go back to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible!" "Nonsense, you can't run around at this juncture, give it all to me.  Just lie down!" Liu Zhenhu scolded loudly, not to mention that getting up and walking under such bombardment was tantamount to courting death.  “As the regiment commander and deputy division commander, if he leaves suddenly, even for safety reasons, it will have a great impact on the morale of the officers and soldiers.  The more dangerous the situation is, the more a commander must show that he can live and die with his officers and soldiers and never abandon them.  Only in this way can the soldiers be determined to follow each other to the death and advance and retreat together in life and death.  There is a saying that goes well, generals have no desire to live, and scholars have the desire to die.  At the same time, the 2nd Division and 3rd Division joint headquarters in Wafangdian Town.  Zhao Zhenfan just put down the phone and turned to Wang Yizhe: "Brother Dingfang, reports from the front say that the Japanese suddenly launched a large-scale and violent shelling." "Large-scale shelling? Listen to the explosion, I'm afraid the caliber is higher than that of our heavy artillery brigade.  Is it even bigger?" Wang Yizhe listened intently.  As he finished speaking, a cannonball seemed to have fallen into the town, causing dust to fall from his headquarters. Both Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan became disgraced.  "Bah!" Zhao Zhenfan spat, shook his head to shake off the dust on his head, and said: "I think it is probably the Japanese navy fleet that is here. Otherwise, how could the Japanese have such powerful artillery fire?" "Well,  It should be." Wang Yizhe nodded in agreement and said: "Guoping, let's send electricity to Xinghan quickly and ask him to send air force fighter planes for reinforcements. If the Japanese bombardment continues like this, the defense line may collapse!"OK, I will send a message to the Commander-in-Chief personally right away.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded and turned around. ……………. In Chaoyang County, due to insufficient troops, Zhang Xinghan had to send a regiment to escort more than 10,000 captive soldiers back to Jinzhou. He personally led two infantry regiments and a tank  The regiment advanced towards Jianchang County to meet Liu Jianguo's 4th Division. Although these more than 10,000 captive soldiers were ready-made and qualified soldiers, Zhang Xinghan did not dare to use them now, let alone use them to fight the Northeast Army.  If they are used to fight the Japanese, they might as well take the risk. Now, Zhang Xinghan decided to temporarily place them in Jinzhou. After the Northeastern Army is defeated, they will be dispersed and reorganized into the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th divisions.  Division. Only by integrating them into the majority of the Northeast New Army can they truly be integrated into the Northeast New Army. Otherwise, if a new unit is formed, this unit may secretly form a small interest group.  , at a critical moment, it may lead to unimaginable disasters. This is something Zhang Xinghan will never allow to happen. As a time traveler, he must absolutely guarantee the loyalty of the troops under his command. A communications soldier is leading his troops on an emergency march.  Suddenly he stopped Zhang Xinghan's car and stood up and saluted: "Commander, there's an urgent call from Wafangdian.  " Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled, and immediately got out of the car and took the message. After reading it hastily, Zhang Xinghan quickly closed the message and said in a cold tone: "Immediately send a message to Gao Zhihang, and immediately dispatch the Second Flying Regiment to patrol with Wafangdian as the center.  If the Japanese fleet is discovered in the coastal waters within a radius of 100 kilometers, attack immediately and kill them as much as possible at all costs!  "    "yes!  "The communications soldier immediately stood up and responded, turned around and left quickly. "Commander, what's the matter? What happened?  "Guo Zhong got out of the car and asked in confusion. "The Japanese naval fleet suddenly launched a sudden artillery attack on our Wafangdian defense line. Zhao Guoping and Uncle Wang sent emergency calls.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "This little devil is cunning enough. He knows that the main force of our air force is used to deal with the Northeast Army. If we send a naval fleet at this time, we will really miss every opportunity.  "Guo Zhong said: "Commander, it seems that we need to end the battle in Jinzhou as soon as possible and return to Yingkou to aid as soon as possible.  "    "Um.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Chuanling troops, speed up and join the 4th Division."  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong stood up and promised, turned and left. In the waters of Pulandian, the large-caliber naval guns of dozens of Japanese cruisers, destroyers and gunboats were firing continuously. The deafening sound of shelling  As soon as it started, it could be heard clearly for more than ten miles away from the coast. Some timid coastal villagers were so frightened that they fled with their families. Suddenly, several Chinese fighter jets flew in from the direction of Wafangdian. Soon, a large number of Chinese people came.  The fighter planes came like dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun. "Baga, no, it's a Chinese fighter plane!"  "In some woods on the shore, the Japanese air defense sentries, who had been vigilant all the time, were frightened. They quickly notified the busy naval joint fleet through radio. Although the Japanese air defense sentries were a few meters away,  Ten kilometers away, but this distance was only a few minutes for the high-speed flying Zero fighter group. It was just after the Japanese naval guns stopped shelling, they concentrated all their air defense firepower to prepare for air defense, and began to anchor and escape.  At that time, Liu Cuigang, the deputy commander of the Northeast New Army Pilot Division, personally led a mixed fleet of nearly a hundred fighters and bombers from the 2nd Flying Regiment. Dozens of Zero fighter jets immediately arrived in groups of three, like tigers.  Multiple warships, "click, click, click" The Japanese's anti-aircraft cannons began to fire violently. Liu Cuigang personally piloted a Zero fighter under the fire cover of two wingmen, turning left and right to avoid the Japanese's intensive anti-aircraft fire.  Several small aerial bombs were thrown down, and a violent explosion occurred when the aerial bombs landed on the warship. Several Japanese 40mm anti-aircraft cannons on the top of the ship were shrouded in flames, and a group of anti-aircraft soldiers were blown to the deck below.  , I can't die anymore. The machine guns and machine guns of the two wingmen that followed also opened up their firepower. The flames composed of several bullets were very dazzling, and the dense rain of bullets hit the Japanese warships.  Armored sparks flew everywhere. The Japanese air defense personnel were shot and fell to the ground. Following the Zero fighters were the He111 bombers, which dropped bombs one after another at an altitude of one thousand meters.  , causing water to splash on the sea surface.bsp; A light cruiser with a displacement of about 5,000 tons was hit by three aerial bombs. After a violent explosion, the ship immediately burst into flames.  The light cruiser, which had almost lost its ability to move, immediately became a concentrated target for dive bombing and sweeping operations by other Northeastern air forces.  Soon, the cruiser was swept by raindrops of bombing, and explosions occurred continuously. The hull broke from the middle and began to sink.  Fire and thick black smoke rose into the sky.  The Japanese navy tried their best to escape. In the end, they paid a heavy price with the loss of three cruisers, two destroyers, and a dozen gunboats with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. They only managed to escape because the Northeast New Army Air Force bomber group ran out of bombs.  .  As for the Northeast New Army Air Force, one bomber was lost and two fighter jets were injured, but they had not lost their flight capabilities and were barely able to return.  While the Japanese naval artillery group was forced to stop shelling due to the arrival of the Northeast Air Force, the Japanese ground forces, which had been waiting for a long time, launched another fierce attack on Wafangdian.  Although the air force arrived in time and stopped the Japanese navy's continued bombardment threat to Wafangdian, the fierce bombardment by the Japanese naval gun group for nearly more than an hour still caused considerable damage to the defending troops of the 2 and 3 divisions.  .  The fortifications were almost completely destroyed, and an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out again.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 252: Emergency in Wafangdian

    "Regiment seat, the little devil is coming up." On the position of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division, several soldiers covered in mud pulled Liu Zhenhu out of the mud pile and said urgently.  The fierce bombardment by the Japanese naval gun group almost blew their trench fortifications to pieces, leaving debris everywhere. Many soldiers like Liu Zhenhu were almost buried.  At this time, they were rescued by their comrades one after another.  Liu Zhenhu shook his head to shake some of the dirt off his head, took a few quick deep breaths, and asked confused: "What did you say? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly!" The soldier pointed to the position with an anxious look on his face.  The man from the front shouted loudly: "Regiment leader, the Japs have begun to attack!" Liu Zhenhu followed the soldiers' expectations, and his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted: "The whole regiment is ready to attack, hurry up!" After saying this, he quickly pulled out his own  of a gun.  Several soldiers quickly dispersed and entered fighting positions with weapons in hand.  A soldier even took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the messenger, bending his waist and passing Liu Zhenhu's orders one after another along the trench.  "Fight me!" A few minutes later, most of the surviving officers and soldiers of the regiment were ready for battle. Liu Zhenhu took the lead in firing with his pistol.  Hundreds of new officers and soldiers opened fire one after another. MG34 general-purpose machine guns, Garand rifles, and MP18 submachine guns formed a dense and powerful cross-fire network.  The Japanese soldiers who rushed at the front were shot and fell to the ground. However, more Japanese soldiers behind them fired back and accelerated their charge.  Small-caliber artillery from both sides, such as mortars and grenades, also opened fire, and the sound of gunfire and artillery on the battlefield was deafening for a while.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Liu Jianguo introduced: "When I arrived with my troops, the Northeastern Army had already withdrawn." "Have you figured out which direction the enemy troops are retreating in?" Zhang Xinghan asked, holding on to the wall with both hands and looking down at the outside of the city.  "I have asked Liu Dongqing to send a small team of armored scouts to closely track and trace the Northeast Army's movements. As of now, they plan to withdraw to Shanhaiguan." Liu Jianguo replied.  "Back to Shanhaiguan, if Marshal Zhang really stops here, it will be a great blessing for our 30 million elders in the three eastern provinces." Zhang Xinghan paused, turned around and said: "Pass my order, and all regiments will move to Xingcheng immediately!"  "Xingcheng? Commander, why don't we go straight to Shanhaiguan? In this way, even if the Northeast Army has any intention, it will not be easily achieved." Liu Jianguo asked in confusion.  "Although the morale of the Northeastern Army is low at the moment, the main force is still there, and it is far from being damaged. I am sure that Mr. Zhang is still evil. We have eaten two of his elite brigades, and he must hate me.  So if we want to make Mr. Zhang completely give up, we can only fight hard and beat him thoroughly. It is best to annihilate one or two enemy brigades." Zhang Xinghan paused and said:  "As for returning to Xingcheng, the reason is very simple. Regardless of distance or strategic location, Jinzhou is the first choice for the Northeast Army, and Xingcheng will bear the brunt." "But Commander, if Zhang Xueliang repeats his old tricks and sends troops to take risks again,  How about taking a detour to Chaoyang and attacking Shenyang?" Liu Jianguo said.  Zhang Xinghan smiled brightly: "If Zhang Xueliang had such courage and brains, then when the September 18th Incident broke out, the Northeast Army would not have fled without a fight, and there would even be no chance of the September 18th Incident happening. " Of course.  , Just in case, we still need to send out air force reconnaissance planes and ground armored reconnaissance troops to closely monitor and alert them." Liu Jianguo nodded and stopped talking. He saluted with Du Ting and others and left after being ordered to leave.  ……………………………… Shanhaiguan, the Provisional General Headquarters of the Northeast Army.  "Young Marshal, Deputy Marshal Zhang has led his troops to Suizhong County. They are currently resting and recuperating." He Zhuguo reported to Zhang Xueliang, bowing his head.  "I have transferred Yu Xuezhong to Shanhaiguan, and the strength of our army has reached 100,000 again." Zhang Xueliang said with great enthusiasm: "I ordered all the troops to advance to Jinzhou immediately, and telegraphed Zhang Zuoxiang, asking him to lead his troops first. Han  "Young Marshal, is it too risky for you to lead the expedition yourself?" He Zhuguo advised with concern.  Zhang Xueliang looked at He Zhuguo and said proudly: "I, Zhang Hanqing, have been in the army for thirteen years since I graduated from the Northeast Army Lecture Hall in the eighth year of the Republic of China. I have led my troops across the battlefield and fought in no less than a hundred battles, big and small. I have never fought.  "I will never give up if I don't defeat Zhang Xinghan!" After saying that, Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, let's carry out the order." "Yes!" He Zhuguo knew.?He had made up his mind, and no further persuasion was in use. He stood up and saluted, then turned and left.  ???…………………Wafangdian front line, the position of the 3rd Division of the Northeast New Army.  The fierce gunfire has just stopped, and the choking smoke has not completely dissipated.  Liu Zhenhu turned over and leaned against the trench with a tired look on his face. At this moment, his face and body were covered with mud and dust. It would be no exaggeration to describe him as gray-faced.  However, he didn't care at all. With a tired expression, he took off his white gloves that were almost stained black by soot and threw them casually in the trench.  Liu Zhenhu rested for a while, then reluctantly got up and staggered along the trench towards the regiment headquarters.  The Japanese attack was so fierce that the two guards who came had already died in the fierce battle.  The tragic battle situation is evident, but fortunately, the 3rd Regiment fought bravely alongside other friendly forces. Although they suffered heavy losses, they finally successfully repelled the Japanese attack and defended their position.  After Liu Zhenhu returned to the regiment headquarters, he immediately reported the losses of the troops to Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan by phone.  Wang Yizhe immediately mobilized the reserve troops and transferred the 1st Regiment, which had suffered heavy losses, down.  While the fierce battle in Wafangdian was going on, the Japanese army headquarters was in Yingkou City.  Kentaro Kurotsuchi, commander of the 106th Division, reported to the communications officer and left. He asked Neji Okamura in confusion: "Okamura-kun, since the main force of the imperial army is attacking the Wafangdian defense line of the China Army with all its strength, we  Why not take advantage of this moment to launch a counterattack to support the imperial army's battle in Wafangdian?" Nakashimamura, the commander of the 114th Division, also nodded in agreement and looked at Neji Okamura with the same doubts.  Okamura Neiji pretended to be mysterious and smiled, saying: "The two generals don't know something. The main force of the Imperial Army benefited from the super-powerful artillery reinforcements of the naval fleet's gun group this time. Under the fierce attack, even if it cannot be defeated in one battle,  If the Chinese army breaks through the Wafangdian defense line, it will inevitably cause considerable damage to them. As long as the Chinese army in Wafangdian asks Zhang Xinghan for help, Zhang Xinghan can only mobilize reinforcements from the siege troops outside Yingkou City to reinforce Wafang.  Then our opportunity will come." "Yo Xi, Yu Xi." Kentaro Kurotsuchi and Nakajima Village looked at each other, and they gave a thumbs up and said, "Okamura-kun is indeed the best soldier in the empire.  We are impressed.” At the same time, inside the joint headquarters of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions in Wafangdian.  Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe both had serious expressions on their faces. Since neither of them spoke, the atmosphere in the headquarters seemed particularly depressing.  In the end, Zhao Zhenfan broke the silence and said to Wang Yizhe: "Brother Dingfang, this can't continue. As of today, the losses of several of our regiments at the forefront have accumulated to more than one-third. We have made the final preparations."  The team lined up. "If there are no reinforcements, we may not be able to hold on for long." Wang Yizhe's face was extremely solemn, and he did not refute Zhao Zhenfan's words. Indeed, if the battle continues like this without reinforcements.  The Wafangdian defense line will definitely be broken through by the Japanese army, it is just a matter of time.  After all, their two motorized infantry divisions only had 30,000 troops, plus a tank division that was not full of troops, and their strength was less than half of the Japanese army.  In the past few days, the Japanese army has launched no less than dozens of attacks in succession, although the casualties on both sides each time were mostly the Japanese army.  But after such consumption, it will be the Northeast New Army that cannot hold on in the end.  Especially in today’s battle, the sudden bombardment by Japanese naval guns caused considerable casualties to the front-line troops of the Northeast New Army.  Mainly due to lack of psychological preparation, neither the soldiers nor the commanders expected that the Japanese navy, which had been frightened by its own air force, would dare to risk bombardment at this time, especially in broad daylight.  Furthermore, the temporary fortifications repaired by the New Northeast Army could not withstand the bombardment of large-caliber naval gun groups.  "Brother Dingfang, let's ask the commander for help." Zhao Zhenfan said reluctantly.  "Ask for reinforcements?" Wang Yizhe was a little hesitant: "The troops in Xinghan's hands should be very tight now. How can we get reinforcements to reinforce Wafangdian?" "Yes, the commander has placed two infantry divisions and a tank division at the entrance of the camp.  , and the Japanese army in Yingkou City is now only 30,000 strong. If we only want to contain the Japanese army and not encircle and annihilate it, at least one division can be mobilized, and at the worst, two or three infantry regiments can be mobilized to reinforce Wafangdian.  " Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Brother Guoping, have you forgotten that the 1st Division and the 9th Division also suffered a lot of damage in the previous battles, and now the actual available troops can no longer exceed the four infantry regiments. &nbsp; As for the tank division, it was a strategic force used to intimidate the Japanese army in Yingkou. If it were transferred, Huang Jingzhong and Gao Chu would probably not be the opponents of Okamura Neji and be defeated.  The consequences would be disastrous.  "Wang Yizhe said. "What should we do?  Our losses are even greater now. Without reinforcements, even if our entire army is killed, we will not be able to hold on for long.  Brother Dingfang, you and I need to know that we are not facing thousands of Japanese soldiers, but 100,000 Japanese troops!  " Zhao Zhenfan insisted. Wang Yizhe thought about it for a moment and said in deep thought: "In this way, we will first report the situation to Xinghan in detail, and ask Xinghan to send troops to reinforce us depending on the situation.  "    "All right.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded helplessly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 253: An Opportunity

    When Zhang Xinghan led his troops to Xingcheng, it was already evening.  At the same time, the regiment that escorted the prisoners from Chaoyang was also ordered to march west from Jinzhou to join the main force of the division.  So far, the Northeast New Army has five infantry regiments, two tank regiments, and two artillery regiments in Xingcheng, totaling more than 25,000 people.  After a round of inspections and returning to the newly established headquarters, a communications soldier came out with a message in his hand. He stood up and saluted: "Commander, there is an urgent call from Wafangdian." Zhang Xinghan put away his smile and quickly answered the message.  After receiving the message, I opened it and looked at it, and my face suddenly became extremely solemn.  "Commander, what's wrong?" Liu Jianguo, who was accompanying him, asked when he saw this.  "The 2nd Division and the 3rd Division have suffered too many casualties and are requesting reinforcements." Zhang Xinghan replied thoughtfully and handed the message to Liu Jianguo.  Liu Jianguo took the message and read it quickly, his brows furrowed and his expression became solemn.  "Commander, it seems that the situation in Wafangdian is indeed not optimistic. After all, they are facing 100,000 Japanese troops. Otherwise, the senior officers would not easily send a telegram asking for help." Liu Jianguo said, holding the telegram in his hand.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked towards the main hall of the headquarters.  Liu Jianguo and Guo Zhong quickly followed.  Walking into the headquarters and in front of the map, Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, frowned at the map and began to think deeply.  Liu Jianguo carefully walked to his right side, facing the map and said: "Commander, for the current plan, if reinforcements are to be mobilized, they can only be mobilized from Yingkou." Zhang Xinghan did not express his position, Liu Jianguo paused and continued: "  We definitely won’t be able to mobilize troops here, and it’s too late. However, we still have two infantry divisions and one tank division outside Yingkou City, and the Japanese troops in Yingkou City should not exceed 30,000. I suggest that if we decide to send more troops.  To support Wafangdian, one to half of the division can be sent over. " Zhang Xinghan remained silent, and Liu Jianguo also closed his mouth knowingly, as a subordinate.  He has said everything that needs to be said. As for how to make a decision, it entirely depends on Zhang Xinghan.  After a long time, Zhang Xinghan relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Yes." "What's available?" Liu Jianguo asked curiously.  "An opportunity to completely defeat Marshal Zhang." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "What opportunity?" Liu Jianguo was puzzled.  "Before I decided to come to Xingcheng, I had been thinking hard about how to give the Northeast Army a fatal blow and win in one battle. Return to Yingkou as soon as possible. The emergency in Wafangdian gave me an inspiration." Zhang Xinghan paused and said  : "Jianguo, you immediately notify Gao Chu in my name to lead the 9th Division to reinforce Wafangdian. Tell him to make a big noise and don't be afraid of exposing your whereabouts." "In addition, send an order to all regiments in the city. The entire army will march to the rear of Jinzhou.  Withdraw, and then retreat to Yingkou! " "Commander, what do you mean?" Liu Jianguo seemed to understand, but was not sure.  "Jianguo, think about it, if Zhang Xueliang knew that our Wafangdian defense line was in danger and was forced to send reinforcements from Yingkou, and we were forced to return to Yingkou to reinforce, how would he react?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "He will feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he really has an affair with the Japanese, he should take advantage of the situation and command the troops to pursue us on a large scale, cooperate with the Japanese army in Yingkou inside and outside, and defeat us." Liu Jianguo said: "But, how can we  How can Zhang Xueliang know this news and believe it without being discovered? " Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "It's not that it should happen, but it will definitely happen. I said that Zhang Xueliang must hate me to the core now.  . He wants to eat me alive. If there is a crisis in our army, he will definitely seize the opportunity to defeat us and take revenge. As for the information, we can't hide it from the Japanese.  I will definitely notify Marshal Zhang.” “Oh, Commander, you are wise!” Liu Jianguo nodded in realization, and then asked: “Commander, where is the right place for us to set up an ambush?” “Here!” Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map.  .  "Jin County?" Liu Jianguo looked at the map and was surprised.  "Yes, it is Jin County. It borders Liaodong Bay to the south and the remaining mountains of Songling Mountain to the north. It is located in the throat of the Western Liaoning Corridor. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The most important thing is that it is located between the Liaohe River and the Daling River.  In the meantime, imagine that if the main force of the Northeast Army arrives in Jinxian, we use the air force and ground armored forces to destroy all the bridges on the two rivers. The Northeast Army will definitely be in chaos, and then use the air force and armored forces to attack it.?A sudden attack will result in a complete victory!  At that time, we can ask the young commander to return to the pass.  Zhang Xinghan said with a meaningful smile: "By the way, let's wait until we get to Jinzhou to send the telegram to the senior high school, so that the performance can be more realistic."  ” ……………………… After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, Gao Chu immediately led the regiments of the 9th Independent Division to “cautiously” evacuate the Yingkou one after another. Okamura Neiji has always paid close attention to the movements of the Northeastern New Army outside the city.  . In addition, Gao Chu and Huang Xiansheng were very "cautious", so Okamura Neiji immediately received the news about the mobilization of the Northeast New Army. "Okamura-kun, can we immediately report to the Chinese people?  Launched a counterattack?  "At the Japanese military headquarters in Yingkou City, Kentaro Kurotsuchi was the first to ask after listening to the report from the communications soldier to Neji Okamura. "Well, the opportunity is basically ripe.  " Neiji Okamura finished his words. A Japanese communications lieutenant walked in hurriedly, suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention and saluted Neiji Okamura solemnly: "General, our army's agents in Jinzhou City have just sent out a message.  Come for urgent information.  "    "oh?  What information?  "Okamura Neiji asked eagerly. "The Chinese Army in Jinzhou City has begun to withdraw eastward. The agents speculated that the Chinese Army probably wants to return to the camp entrance to aid.  "The Japanese lieutenant replied. "Evacuated?  Is the information accurate?  " Neji Okamura's face suddenly changed when he heard this. The Japanese Lieutenant nodded seriously: "Absolutely accurate, otherwise our agents would not have risked their lives to send out this emergency telegram. The telegram said that the Chinese troops in the city also include those just tonight  The total number of troops withdrawn from the direction of Xingcheng was 20,000 to 30,000.  Now that everyone has evacuated Jinzhou, Jinzhou has almost become an empty city.  "Kentaro Kurotsuchi, Taro Nakamura and others looked at each other, and it was hard to tell whether they were worried or happy. They have basically regarded Okamura Neji as their backbone, so they all turned their attention to him. Okamura Neji walked back and forth and thought for a moment.  . Suddenly asked: "Lieutenant, are you sure the caution is absolutely accurate?  "The Japanese lieutenant nodded again and said: "Yes, general.  " "Youxi, this time, the opportunity for the imperial army to turn defeat into victory has really arrived.  "Okamura Neiji immediately praised him. Kurotsuchi Kentaro looked at Nakashimamura incomprehensibly and asked: "Okamura-kun, why do you say this?  " Okamura Neji happily pointed at the map and said to the two of them: "The situation of the two generals.  Nowadays, the imperial army, Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army and Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army, the three forces have all reached a fight to the death.  Fortunately, the Northeast Army and the New Northeast Army had a personal feud because of the Battle of Chaoyang. On another level, the Imperial Army had an extra ally, even if this ally was only temporary.  Can we turn defeat into victory?  Now it's on this ally.  The two generals should know the power of the tanks and armored units of the New Northeast Army, especially in field battles, which are almost insurmountable to the imperial army.  Therefore, without this ally, and with only the 30,000 imperial troops in Yingkou City, I would not be 100% sure of defeating the Chinese army outside the city and winning this battle.  Even if you win by luck.  It is bound to pay a very heavy price, and it may no longer be able to carry out other battles, and it may not be helpful to the overall strategic situation.  But it is no longer the same now. Think about it, if we inform our allies of the true situation of the Northeast New Army being in emergency and being forced to evacuate from Jinzhou.  What will the hot-blooded young marshal do?  " After saying the last sentence, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Okamura Neji's mouth. Nakashimamura reacted slightly faster than Kurotsuchi Kentaro, and suddenly realized: "Okamura-kun means, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?  " "It can be said that as long as Zhang Xueliang orders the troops to pursue.  We can join forces with them to deal with Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army, attacking from both inside and outside. Even if Zhang Xinghan has great power, he will be powerless!  As long as Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern New Army is eliminated, Zhang Xueliang will be much easier to deal with.  "Okamura Neiji said. …………… In Suizhong County, the revengeful Marshal Zhang has led Yu Xuezhong and other follow-up troops to arrive here overnight. And as the vanguard, Zhang Zuoxiang was ordered to lead his troops to defeat  Near Xingcheng. Zhang Xueliang had just sat down on the bed in the bedroom prepared by the orderly. After running around for most of the night, Zhang Xueliang was very tired and was about to take a rest. Zhang Xueliang heard a sound of rushing footsteps outside the bedroom.  When he got up, someone from outside had already arrived at the door. Before he could knock on the door, he asked, "Who is it?"  " "Young Marshal, it's me, Dazhang!  "DoorThe anxious voice of the adjutant Chen Dazhang came from outside.  Zhang Xueliang opened the door immediately, and Chen Dazhang quickly stood up and saluted.  "Dazhang, what's the matter? You're so anxious." Zhang Xueliang nodded and asked.  "Young Marshal, this is secret information that the Chief of Staff has just received. He asked me to forward it to you immediately." Chen Dazhang took out a telegram marked top secret from the document bag he carried with him and handed it to Zhang Xueliang.  Zhang Xueliang took the message, turned around, opened it and read it. The steps he had just taken suddenly froze. After a long time, he turned around with an extremely excited expression and said to Chen Dazhang: "Dazhang, give it to Zhang Dazhang immediately in my name."  The deputy commander sent a message and ordered him to quickly send troops to investigate the strength of the enemy forces in Xingcheng and Jinzhou." Before Zhang Xueliang finished speaking, another signal soldier ran over quickly, saluted and reported: "Young Marshal, Deputy Commander Zhang is calling, Xing.  The city has been captured by our army, and the message also reported that the Northeastern New Army seems to have abandoned Jinzhou, and the situation is still being verified!" Zhang Xueliang was so excited that he picked up the military uniform he had just taken off.  and the military hat, said: "Let's go, call Yu Xuezhong, Rong Jin, and He Zhuguo to come for a meeting immediately. I have something important to announce. In addition, I will reply to Deputy Commander Zhang immediately and ask him to understand the specific situation in Jinzhou as soon as possible."  "Report immediately." "Yes!" Chen Dazhang and the signal soldier stood up and responded at the same time.  They turned sideways to give way. After Zhang Xueliang came out, they followed him left and right and left the bedroom.  More than ten minutes later, Yu Xuezhong, Rong Jin, He Zhuguo and others all arrived.  Chen Dazhang walked up to Zhang Xueliang quite excitedly and reported: "Young Marshal, Deputy Marshal Zhang has called back. He has found out clearly that the New Northeast Army has indeed abandoned Xingcheng and Jinzhou. Jinzhou City is now an empty city. " Deputy Marshal Zhang  I am personally leading the troops to march towards Jinzhou. They should be able to arrive before dawn." "Great." Zhang Xueliang slammed the table: "God help me, Chief of Staff. It seems that the information given by the little devil is true.  Otherwise, how could Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, give up the strategic location of Jinzhou so easily? " Rong Jing was also happy and nodded: "Young Marshal, the situation is probably true. I have secretly ordered our intelligence personnel to go all out.  Verified, the news will come back after dawn at the latest." "Young Marshal, what information?" Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo both looked confused.  Zhang Xueliang directly handed the telegram sent to him by Chen Dazhang to Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo and said, "You two dear friends, read it yourself." After reading it, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo frowned slightly and said, "Young Marshal,  Isn't this a trick by the little devil to seek his own revenge?" "A trick?" Zhang Xueliang shook his head immediately after hearing this: "Impossible, the Japanese hate Zhang Xinghan more than me, how could they join forces with Zhang Xinghan to plot against us?  ? Didn’t I just say that, if it wasn’t true, how could Zhang Xinghan be willing to give up this strategic location in Jinzhou? Doesn’t he know how important Jinzhou is to both of us? " "But, Marshal, Zhang Xinghan is full of tricks?  , the Japanese are not good people, we should be careful," Yu Xuezhong advised.  Zhang Xueliang nodded and said: "Brother Yu, don't worry about this. In any case, Jinzhou and Xingcheng have become ours now. We can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and we are about to take the initiative. Just now.  Didn't the Chief of Staff say that our intelligence personnel are also working hard. We will know soon whether the Northeast New Army's defense line in Wafangdian is really in danger. Therefore, before that, I decided that we will advance to Jinzhou first.  , wait until the information is confirmed, and then make a decision. " Zhang Xueliang's words were quite satisfactory, and Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others could only nod in agreement.  So, before dawn, Marshal Zhang, who was excited and energetic, led his officers and soldiers and continued the rapid march to Jinzhou through the night regardless of the hardship.  The day soon dawned, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.  A crossing point in a section of Jin County, Daling River (now Linghai City).  Zhang Xinghan patted Liu Jianguo and Du Ting on the shoulders, looked at the more than 10,000 captured soldiers who had gathered not far away and said solemnly: "Brothers, our troops are limited. I can only give you the strength of one regiment. You  But you must control these captured soldiers, and remember not to reveal any of our plans to ambush the Northeast Army to them. Your task is to pretend to be the main force to cross the Liao River and pretend to return to the Yingkou to aid the Japanese army in the Yingkou.  Our goal in this battle is to win two birds with one stone." "Well, please rest assured, Commander, we will be careful." Liu Jianguo and Du Ting nodded.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 254: The ambush comes out

    After separating from Liu Jianguo and Du Ting, Zhang Xinghan led the main forces of the two divisions to retreat to the mountainous area west of Jin County. With bridge-building tanks, the troops could build bridges across the Daling River at any time, so Zhang Xinghan did not need to worry at all.  There is no need to prepare river crossing tools such as pontoons in advance.  // Free e-book download // At the same time, Zhang Xueliang, Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and other main forces also rushed to Jinzhou City at noon through a forced march.  Zhang Zuoxiang and others, who had already captured Jinzhou, personally greeted him.  "Young Marshal, Jinzhou City has been captured." Zhang Zuoxiang saluted in a mature and solemn manner.  "Uncle Fu Chen, thank you for your hard work. I should be the first to take credit for this battle!" Zhang Xueliang encouraged.  "How dare you, how dare you." Although Zhang Zuoxiang said this, he was very happy in his heart.  After some pleasantries, Zhang Xueliang, surrounded by Zhang Zuoxiang, He Zhuguo and others, entered the city and returned to the Jinzhou Municipal Government after an absence of two years.  "Uncle Fuchen, what is the enemy's situation now? Where is it?" After looking at it, Zhang Xueliang turned around and asked.  "According to the report of the scouts I sent, the enemy has crossed the Daling River. Whether it has crossed the Liao River is unknown for the time being. After all, their rear troops are very vigilant and are equipped with tanks and armored vehicles. Our reconnaissance troops  We have to be careful." After saying that, Zhang Zuoxiang asked again: "Han Qing, what should we do next? Can we take advantage of the situation and pursue it?" "Uncle Fu Chen, don't be impatient. We will wait for the chief of staff to come back and wait for the situation.  " Almost as soon as Zhang Xueliang finished speaking, Chief of Staff Rong Jin walked in excitedly from outside.  "Chief of Staff, how is the situation?" Zhang Xueliang turned around and asked immediately when he saw him.  "Young Marshal, according to the confirmation of our intelligence personnel, the Northeastern New Army was indeed severely damaged by the Japanese army in Wafangdian. Its current strength is exhausted and the defense line is critical. Zhang Xinghan did indeed transfer no less than one division of troops from Yingkou to urgently reinforce Wafangdian.  The situation is almost consistent with the information we received previously," Rong Zhen said excitedly.  "Okay!" Zhang Xueliang immediately became energetic after hearing this, and immediately said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Uncle Fu Chen. The troops I brought are marching continuously and need to rest for half a day. Therefore, please lead your officers and soldiers as the pursuit troops, and immediately  Go east and pursue the enemy. Han Qing will lead his troops to follow you. " "Yes, young commander, don't worry!" Zhang Zuoxiang stood up and responded, then turned around and took the order to leave.  Yingkou City, Japanese Army Headquarters.  "Report to your Excellency, General. The latest news from the scout troops is that the enemy's new northeastern army has crossed the Liaohe River and is advancing towards Yingkou." A Japanese communications soldier reported to Okamura Neiji.  "Oh? Zhang Xinghan really gave up Jinzhou?" Okamura Neiji asked: "What's going on with Zhang Xueliang's troops? "Reporting back to the general, they have arrived in Jinzhou and seem to be preparing for a pursuit.  " "Youxi, thank you very much. Let's see how Zhang Xinghan responds this time.  "Okamura Neiji was proud of his head. About fifty miles west of Jin County, in the forest at the foot of the Songling Mountains. Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong and others were gathered around a combat map, eating and discussing.  Military information. At this time, a communications soldier came over with a message, stood up and saluted: "Commander, there is a call from the 3rd reconnaissance team, the Northeast Army in the direction of Jinzhou has been dispatched.  The number of troops was approximately 25,000 to 30,000.  " " Thirty thousand people?  Zhang Xinghan stuffed a small piece of beef jerky into his mouth, chewed it and said to himself: "Eating them will be enough to make our young commander feel so distressed that he vomits blood. In this way, he will lose more than half of his 100,000-strong army."  If we don't retreat, we'll be in trouble.  " "Commander, there are nearly 30,000 people.  We don’t have the advantage in terms of military strength, but we still need to send reinforcements. Can we afford it?  "Guo Zhongyou said worriedly. "As long as we destroy the railway bridge in Jin County, the task of providing reinforcements will be left to the air force. At best, we can leave a few reconnaissance teams on the west bank of the Daling River to contain and harass.  The remaining troops all went into the attack. With two regiments of nearly 200 tanks, five infantry regiments, and two artillery regiments, supplemented by air strikes and bombings by Air Force fighter planes, it should not be a problem to defeat the less than 30,000 Northeastern Army.  As long as they are defeated and their retreat is cut off, there are only two endings, either they will be completely annihilated by us, or they will surrender.  "Zhang Xinghan said with confidence. "Commander, should we attack?  "Guo Zhong asked eagerly. "There's no rush, it's getting late. By the time these 30,000 Northeastern New Army troops cross the Daling River, it will probably be dark. They will definitely stay in Jin County for the night and break the bridge.  The troops waited until midnight before dispatching.  After the bridge was broken, weImmediately launch an attack on the enemies of Jin County.  By the time they react, it will be too late. By the time the reinforcements from the Northeastern Army in the direction of Jinzhou are dispatched and they collect ships to set up pontoons, it will be daylight. As long as our air force fighters arrive in time to buy us a day,  Will suffice.  "Zhang Xinghan said. Guo Zhong and others bowed their heads. "Now, inform all regiments to eat and drink enough and take the time to rest. We will fight a tough battle tomorrow!  "Zhang Xinghan wiped his mouth, stood up and said. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "  The attacking troops rode armored vehicles around Jin County and arrived at the Daling River Railway Bridge. At the same time, Liu Jianguo and Du Ting, who had already crossed the Liao River during the day, also sent a small force to ambush the Liao River Railway Bridge.  Half an hour later, the Liao River and Daling River railway bridges leading to the Jinzhou section of the Nanman Railway exploded at the same time. The huge explosions and fire alarmed the Northeastern Army in Jin County, who had already hugged the prostitutes from the county.  Zhang Zuoxiang woke up from his sleep with a quick knock on the door and suddenly stood up and asked: "Who is it?"  " "Deputy Commander, it's me, something's wrong.  "The anxious voice of his attendant adjutant came from outside the door. Zhang Zuoxiang pushed the woman in his arms away, opened the door and walked out in panic. "What happened?  " "The sentinel reported that the Daling River and Liaohe Railway Bridge exploded at the same time. I'm afraid it has been destroyed!  "The adjutant replied. "What?  Zhang Zuoxiang was shocked when he heard this: "Immediately send someone to the scene of the accident to see what happened and report it quickly!"  "    "yes!  "The adjutant lowered his head suddenly and responded, quickly turning around and leaving. "Commander, Battalion Commander Guo and Commander Liu reported that both railway bridges have been destroyed, and currently the two advance teams responsible for bombing the bridges are in the process of destroying them.  Patrol along the river and destroy as many fishing boats as possible to prevent the Northeast Army from crossing the river.  "A communications soldier came to the place where Zhang Xinghan slept with a telegram to report. Zhang Xinghan was not sleepy at all, and immediately said: "Order all regiments to dispatch immediately and attack Jin County!  "    "yes!  "The communications corps took the order to leave.  Zhang Zuoxiang did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would attack him in Jin County, because he received intelligence that the Northeastern New Army evacuating from Jinzhou had already crossed the Liaohe River and retreated towards Yingkou. Therefore, when the railway between the two places  After the explosion on the bridge, his first thought was to send out fast horses to investigate the situation. He did not realize that the danger was approaching. In the middle of the morning, after more than an hour of rapid march, Zhang Xinghan personally commanded the troops to arrive at Jin County.  Road, easily broke through the cordon set up by the Northeast Army's garrison outside the city. Zhang Zuoxiang did not put all of his troops in the city. After all, this was not an empty city, and there was no need for all of his troops to be attacked.  He retreated into the city. Therefore, he deployed a brigade of troops outside the city to form an angle with the garrison inside the city. The garrison outside the city was attacked first. It was half in the morning, which is when people are most tired in the twenty-four hours of the day.  At that time, Zhang Zuoxiang's troops first retreated from Jianchang, then marched to Xingcheng, Jinzhou, and now they were stationed in Jinxian. After marching all the way, they finally had a chance to rest. Even some of the soldiers on guard were napping, so they were vigilant.  Under such circumstances, they were suddenly attacked by nearly two hundred tanks and combat vehicles from two tank regiments, followed by infantry whose strength far exceeded theirs, especially outside the city of Yima Pingchuan.  The result can be imagined. As soon as the fierce battle began, the Northeastern Army of this brigade fell into chaos and was unable to organize a decent resistance. Under the powerful assault of the Northeastern Army, it quickly collapsed in the city.  Zhang Zuoxiang was alerted by the sound of artillery and gunfire. The Northeast Army outside the city had been defeated. “What’s going on?  "Zhang Zuoxiang ran out of the bedroom with an anxious look on his face and asked anxiously. An adjutant stumbled over and said with a sad face: "Deputy Marshal, it's bad, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared outside the city. Our troops outside the city were caught off guard.  Already defeated.  "    "What?  Zhang Zuoxiang was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Have you figured out the number of enemy troops?"  Number?  " "They have a large number of tanks, they must be from the Northeast."There is no doubt that the troops are there, their numbers are all over the mountains and plains, and it is impossible to remember them at night.  "The adjutant replied with a grimace. "Northeast New Army?  Damn you guys, didn't the intelligence say that they had all crossed the Liao River and rushed to Yingkou?  Why are you still here?  "Zhang Zuoxiang was horrified and said angrily. "It's hard to explain even a humble position. Deputy Commander, what do you think we should do now?  "The adjutant asked anxiously. "What should I do?  They have tanks, and if they go out of the city now, they are seeking death. Pass my order, hold on to Jin County, and send a message to the Marshal immediately for help. Go quickly!  "The fast horse sent by Zhang Zuoxiang has not returned yet. He is still not sure whether the railway bridge has been destroyed, so he decided. "Yes!  "The adjutant immediately stood up and saluted, then turned around and took the order and left. "You won't kill if you hand over your gun, you won't kill if you hand over your gun!  "On the battlefield outside the city with the roar of artillery, the infantrymen of the Northeastern New Army who followed the tank troops shouted loudly at the Northeastern Army who were in disarray and were attacked by the tank troops. The frightened Northeastern officers and soldiers abandoned their positions one after another.  Weapon, raise your hands and surrender. (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 255: Fierce Attack on Jin County

    Some Northeastern troops tried to escape into the city, but found that the city gate was closed.  Some Northeastern troops shouted curses and ordered the friendly troops in the city to open the door, but what they responded to was a dense rain of bullets.  It turned out that the Northeastern New Army had already caught up at this time. Zhang Zuoxiang ordered the city gate to be closed to prevent the Northeastern New Army from taking advantage of the opportunity to break through his defense line. With the attitude of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than letting one go, Zhang Zuoxiang would not let anyone approach the city gate.  The people opened fire indiscriminately.  These Northeastern troops were unable to advance or retreat, so they had no choice but to curse Zhang Zuoxiang while surrendering their weapons to the pursuing Northeastern New Army.  It’s not that they are spineless, it’s the indiscriminate firing of friendly forces on top of the city that hurt their hearts. Furthermore, they have poor psychological quality and have been frightened by the tank troops of the Northeastern New Army.  Facing such a torrent of steel that even the Japanese were unable to resist, they were also helpless and had no choice but to surrender.  …………………………… In Jinzhou City, Marshal Zhang had a rare good sleep. The Northeast Army was in danger at the rear, and he thought that his opportunity for revenge had come.  So he felt very at ease and happy this time.  However, just as he was having a cordial exchange with Duke Zhou, a rapid knock on the door woke him up.  The sweet dream was disturbed. You can imagine the mood of Marshal Zhang. He stood up and asked sternly: "Who?" "Young Marshal, it's me, Chen Dazhang. Something bad is going on. Deputy Marshal Zhang just called. They were attacked by the Northeast in Jin County.  The new army is attacking at night, the situation is critical, Marshal, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." Chen Dazhang's slightly anxious voice came from outside the door.  "What?" Zhang Xueliang was suddenly shocked. His sleepiness disappeared without a trace. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He got out of bed and opened the door and asked with a shocked face: "What did you say? The Northeastern New Army attacked Jin County.  ?” “Yes.” Chen Dazhang nodded.  "How is this possible? Didn't the intelligence say that the Northeastern New Army has crossed the Liaohe River and rushed to Yingkou? How could they still appear in Jin County? Isn't that what Zhang Zuoxiang reported in the evening?" Zhang Xueliang refused to believe it.  Shake his head.  "Young Marshal. This is indeed the case. Otherwise, Deputy Marshal Zhang would not be able to lie about such military information." Chen Dazhang said.  Zhang Xueliang did not express too much anger. After suppressing his anger, he took a few deep breaths and said to Chen Dazhang: "Go and notify Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo immediately. Tell them to set off immediately and rush to the rescue of Jin County at full speed. They must rush as soon as possible."  Come, join forces with Zhang Zuoxiang, and defeat the enemy." "Yes!" Chen Dazhang saluted.  Turn around and leave.  Jin County, the fighting outside the city has basically ended. One-third of the nearly 8,000 Northeastern Army has been wiped out, and more than two-thirds have become prisoners of Zhang Xinghan.  With no time to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Xinghan immediately commanded the troops to attack the city.  The tank regiment took the lead in opening fire, using tank guns to form a powerful artillery fire that directly bombarded Jinxian City, which was defending Jinxian County.  Immediately.  The four infantry regiments launched an all-out attack on Jinxian County from all directions regardless of priority.  At the same time, the two 105mm heavy artillery regiments that arrived later were seizing the time to build artillery positions and set up artillery.  "Charge! Kill!" Tens of thousands of Northeastern New Army infantrymen let out deafening shouts of killing and swarmed toward the Jinxian city wall like a tide.  The disgraced Northeastern Army, which had just been blasted by a group of tanks and artillery of the Northeastern New Army on the top of the city, stood up and opened fire with various weapons to block the attack.  From time to time, tongues of fire spurt out from the top of the city, and various bullets shuttle back and forth like meteors, which is quite dazzling.  The bombardment by nearly two hundred tanks from two tank regiments did not stop.  They aimed their guns at the city wall and began to bombard them fiercely.  Most of Jin County’s county towns were built during the Ming Dynasty and have fallen into disrepair. In addition, since it is close to the sea and the soil is moist, the city walls have long been weathered and corroded and are very fragile.  With one shot, a large amount of rubble can be blown up, and the city wall will soon become devastated and full of pits.  Some Northeast Army infantrymen even rushed outside the city gate, aimed their rocket launchers at the city gate opening and started bombarding them.  "Boom boom" Under a series of bombardments.  The temporarily half-blocked city gate was blasted with countless holes, large and small, and was on the verge of collapse.  The wood chips and shrapnel flying everywhere caused considerable damage to the Northeastern Army behind the city gate.  "Deputy Commander, the enemy's attack firepower is too fierce, and the city defense will not be able to defend." Inside the temporary headquarters of Zhang Zuoxiang in the city.  A school official with a dusty face reported to Zhang Zuoxiang.  "What a bastard. Give me my order. If anyone dares to take a step back, I will fucking kill him." Zhang Zuoxiang showed his fierce look, and then said to his adjutant: "Adjutant Li.""Yes!" the adjutant named Li responded.  "You take my guard camp with you and go to the city gate to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to retreat without obeying the military order will be shot on the spot without mercy!" Zhang Zuoxiang said coldly.  "Yes!" Adjutant Li agreed loudly, then turned around and strode away to accept the order.  “Signal Corps, send another signal to the Marshal to urge reinforcements, quickly!” After the adjutant and the school officer left, Zhang Zuoxiang turned around and ordered.  Outside the city, Zhang Xinghan was sitting on the roof of a military truck, looking at the battlefield where the war was raging and guns were firing.  Suddenly, a guard ran over, stood up and saluted and reported: "Commander, all the artillery regiments are in position and ready to fire at any time." "Well, okay, let the attacking troops postpone the attack, switch to the artillery group, and use absolute  Use your strength to defeat the Northeast Army's sense of ground resistance in the city and force them to surrender!" Zhang Xinghan nodded lightly and ordered.  "Yes!" the adjutant quickly answered, clasping his legs together and standing up, and ran away as ordered.  Five minutes later, all the attacking troops stopped their attacks and temporarily withdrew to safe positions.  Immediately, before the Northeastern Army, which suffered heavy casualties on the city, could breathe a sigh of relief, a deafening sound of shelling suddenly sounded in the dark night sky.  Immediately afterwards, dazzling balls of fire rose into the sky one after another, drawing beautiful arcs in the night sky and crashing towards them.  Since Zhang Xinghan’s offensive strategy was an all-out attack, regardless of main attack or assist, nearly a hundred 105mm howitzers from the two artillery regiments were evenly deployed in the four directions outside the city.  Almost at the same time, hundreds of artillery shells fell on the city walls in the four directions of Jin County, southeast and northwest, as well as inside and outside the city, exploding one after another.  Groups of scarlet fires rose from the ground, almost lighting up the night sky.  Violent explosions resounded throughout the city. In the light of the fire, Northeastern officers and soldiers were blown away from time to time, turning into stumps and severed limbs.  This bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, and many residential buildings near the city gate were damaged and burst into flames.  From the outside, it seems that the entire Jin County has been turned into a sea of ??flames.  On the roof of the second floor of the Northeast Army Headquarters in the city, Zhang Zuoxiang stood on the roof, looking at Jin County where fires were everywhere, his face became extremely solemn.  There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and an adjutant had climbed up.  "Adjutant, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties." The adjutant reported with a salute.  Zhang Zuoxiang seemed not to have heard, and asked calmly: "Where are the reinforcements?" "Five minutes ago, the Marshal called. The reinforcements have left Jinzhou and are heading towards Jin County at full speed." The adjutant replied.  "Send the order and continue to hold on. Reinforcements will arrive soon." Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand.  "Yes!" The adjutant had to lower his head, turned around and walked downstairs.  After the bombardment ended, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to attack again.  The four main infantry regiments, which took a short rest, launched another attack on Jin County.  In the shelling just now, the Northeastern Army defenders on each city wall suffered heavy casualties. At this moment, they were busy rescuing the wounded and deploying troops to the city. They were very busy and panicked.  The Northeastern New Army once again took tanks as the vanguard and launched a massive all-out attack.  The two sides fought fiercely again.  Two hours later, a wall in the west of the city finally collapsed because it could not withstand the continuous bombardment.  The Northeastern Army on this section of the city wall was also dead and wounded, and dozens of new Northeastern Army officers and soldiers immediately poured in from the gap.  Use machine guns and submachine guns to form assault firepower to open the way and expand the breakthrough point.  Soon, more and more Northeastern New Army troops poured in, and the west of the city was quickly controlled by the Northeastern New Army.  "Deputy Commander, the west side of the city is lost!" In the headquarters, the disheveled Adjutant Li reported to Zhang Zuo with a sad face.  "A bunch of losers, how come they have lost the city defense in just a few hours?" Zhang Zuoxiang was born as a bandit, and his military literacy and tactical level are basically negligible. In his opinion, if the city defense is lost, it means that the city will be destroyed.  Lost.  So he was furious at the moment.  When it comes to street fighting, not to mention Zhang Zuoxiang, even Marshal Zhang didn't have much experience at this time.  Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, as a bandit leader, he deployed almost all his troops on city defense, completely unaware of the superior artillery strikes of the Northeastern New Army.  After fighting one batch, another batch is taken, and precious troops are wasted on city defense.  In addition, the weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army are extremely backward, and the firepower of the two sides is very different. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Northeast New Army broke through the city defenses in a few hours.  &nbsp; "Deputy Marshal, the 704th Regiment in the west of the city was almost wiped out. Under the supervision of humble officials, no one of them withdrew from the battle. "The supervising company I sent was almost wiped out. It's not that we don't work hard, it's really the Northeast  The firepower of the new army is too strong. Almost all of them have machine guns and submachine guns. Their rapid-fire firepower is countless times more powerful than ours. They also have all kinds of individual artillery that we have never seen before. This battle is impossible to fight.  Ah!" Adjutant Li exclaimed with a sad face.  "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Immediately organize troops to retake the west of the city and drive out the enemy troops who have invaded the city. If you can't complete the task, you don't want to come to see me anymore." Zhang Zuoxiang also sent a message.  Be ruthless, he ordered.  Adjutant Li had no choice but to stand up and respond: "Yes! Take care, old sir." After saying this, he turned around and left with two subordinates carrying flower traps.  Half an hour later, a gray-faced soldier ran over in a panic.  "How is the situation?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked hurriedly.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 256: The Situation Turns Rapidly

    "Deputy Commander, it's over, it's all over. Our counterattack failed and all the troops involved in the counterattack are over." The soldier replied with the same sad face.  "Where is Adjutant Li?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked.  "Adjutant Li was reduced to rubble by the enemy's unknown artillery fire and died. The enemy is currently rapidly breaking through to the south and north of the city, and Jin County cannot be defended." The soldier said with a sad and disappointed look.  "Stop your mother's bullshit." Zhang Zuoxiang was furious, raised his foot and kicked the soldier to the ground.  ………………… To the east of Jinzhou, Yaotun is located on the west bank of the Daling River. Because the railway line passes here, it gradually formed a small town.  Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo arrived at the west bank of the railway bridge surrounded by several adjutants and guards.  Looking at the railway bridge with an expressionless face, Yu Xuezhong sighed: "I'm afraid Deputy Commander Zhang will fall into the hands of Zhang Xinghan this time." "Brother Xiaohou, the top priority is that we should find a way to cross the river quickly."  He Zhuguo also said helplessly.  "Yes." Yu Xuezhong nodded, and then said: "In addition, inform the Marshal and Deputy Marshal Zhang of this situation, and ask him to persist, and we will find a way to cross the river." Yu Xuezhong finished his words,  There was a sudden explosion not far away, followed by a burst of sparse gunfire.  Not long after, a group of Northeastern Army cavalry came running wildly from a distance.  Yu immediately saluted Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo and said: "Sir, a small enemy armored force appeared upstream. They just opened fire on our security force. Our reconnaissance force lost more than a dozen soldiers." "Small armored force?"  "Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo both changed their expressions and looked at each other.  "Yes, they ran away after the attack to prevent fraud. We didn't dare to pursue them," the cavalryman said.  "Notify all troops to take strict precautions to prevent enemy sneak attacks." When Yu Xuezhong thought of Zhang Xinghan's cunning and Zhang Zuoxiang's current situation, he was shocked and ordered quickly.  ……………… In Jin County.  The offensive of the New Northeast Army is becoming more and more fierce. Thanks to the successful breakthrough of Ximen, the defenders of the Northeast Army in other directions have been shaken and the city is about to be breached.  At this moment, Zhang Zuoxiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and was pacing back and forth in the headquarters.  He has sent all the troops he can. Only God knows how long he can hold on.  , , suddenly.  A communications soldier took off his earphones and stood up, turned around and saluted him: "Deputy Marshal, the Young Marshal and General Yu Xuezhong called me one after another." "What's the content?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked eagerly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.  .  "The message says that due to the destruction of the Daling River Railway Bridge, the reinforcements are blocked on the west bank of the Daling River. However, the general has said that they will find a way to cross the river as soon as possible, so we must persist." The communications soldier replied.  "What?" The only hope in Zhang Zuoxiang's heart was suddenly shattered, and his whole face was ashen.  At this moment, a major officer ran in with a panicked expression.  Before saluting, he said: "Deputy Commander Zhang, what's wrong, the enemy troops who invaded the city from the west are divided into two groups. They have already detoured and penetrated behind our south gate and north gate defenders, dividing and surrounding them. The enemy troops at the east gate have been divided and surrounded.  The offensive is also very fast, the situation is critical!" Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly became mentally exhausted, took two staggering steps, and landed on the chair.  As if out of his mind, he said: "Order the troops to continue to hold on. Reinforcements will be here in a moment." "Commander, the third regiment of the 4th Division and the tank regiment have successfully detoured. The enemies in the north and south of the city have been destroyed by us."  Divided and surrounded." Outside the city, Liu Dongqing reported excitedly to Zhang Xinghan.  "Okay. Order the troops to postpone the attack, launch a psychological offensive, send the officers captured by us into the city, and tell the Northeast Army in the city to surrender immediately. We will treat the prisoners preferentially!" Zhang Xinghan said.  The battle of Jin County is progressing faster than Zhang Xinghan expected. He still has no time to tell whether the Northeast Army commanders in the city are too incompetent or the Northeast Army's combat effectiveness is too weak.  However, if the Northeast Army in the city really resists to the end, let alone the increase in battle losses.  Even tomorrow, the Northeastern New Army may not be able to clear out all the remaining enemies in the city, and if the fierce fighting continues, the innocent people in the city will be affected.  Therefore, for both public and private reasons, the sooner the battle in Jin County ends, the better.  Soon, the regiments of the 4th and 10th Independent Divisions of the Northeastern New Army temporarily stopped their attacks.  began to shout to the defenders: "Brothers defenders, the Daling River Railway Bridge has been blown up by us long ago, and your reinforcements will not come. In order to avoid greater disaster,Death, please put down your weapons immediately and walk out of the fortifications.  Our Northeastern New Army treats prisoners preferentially and ensures that none of them will be killed.  "The defenders of the Northeast Army who were struggling to hold on were suddenly in an uproar, and their morale was in chaos. At the same time, a captured Northeast Army colonel also entered the city. After signing up, he was brought to Zhang Zuoxiang. "Deputy  Marshal, the Northeastern New Army outside the city has said that as long as you order the troops to surrender, you and your brothers will be safe.  "The colonel officer timidly looked at Zhang Zuoxiang, who was sitting on the chair with dull eyes, and said. "Zhang Zuoxiang looked up at him after hearing the sound, with a trace of disdain and anger in his eyes, and said: "Damn you, I will kill you."  A food that is eaten inside and outside.  " As he said that, he was about to draw his gun. The colonel officer's face suddenly changed with fright, and he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Deputy Commander, please spare your life. I have no control over my humble position. I still have my father and my mother at home. I really don't want to die."  “Moreover, we are not fighting Little Japan. If our own people beat our own people, our death will be in vain. If it is Little Japan that surrounds us today.  Even if I fight to the death, I will fight them to the end!  "Zhang Zuoxiang finally gave up the idea of ??shooting him and put the pistol back in the holster. After pondering for a moment, he said to an officer on the side: "Give me an order to surrender the troops. Today's defeat is all my fault.  , I can't afford to drag so many brothers to die.  " After saying that, Zhang Zuoxiang pulled out his pistol, looked at it and murmured: "Brother, my brothers are here to accompany you.  " After Yan finished, he suddenly shot himself. No one else could stop him. Half an hour later, all the 20,000 Northeastern troops still alive in the city surrendered. Looking at the groups of prisoners being squeezed out of the city, Zhang Xinghan was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear.  "Damn, there are so many soldiers, such good soldiers, you have been wasting two years in the pass with Zhang Xiaoliu, it's time for you to play your due role.  "Zhang Xinghan secretly thought in his heart. By the time dawn came, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo's reinforcements had not been able to cross the river. Firstly, all the river-crossing equipment in the villages along the river within a few dozen miles had been looted and destroyed by the Northeastern New Army. Secondly, Zhang Xinghan left behind  Several small groups of troops on the west bank attacked from time to time. In the dark night, all the troops of Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo were nervous. In Jinzhou City, Chen Dazhang walked towards Zhang Xueliang who was sitting on the chair with heavy steps and a message in his hand.  Zhang Xueliang stood up immediately upon seeing this, staring at Chen Dazhang eagerly, with an ominous premonition in his heart. "Young Marshal, Jin County has been lost.  "Chen Dazhang lowered his head and said. "What?  "Zhang Xueliang's eyes widened with shock. "Where is Zhang Zuoxiang?  What does he do for food?  All 30,000 troops were wiped out in less than one night?  " "After Deputy Commander Zhang ordered the troops to surrender, he shot himself.  "Chen Dazhang replied. "What?  he died?  "Zhang Xueliang's face changed drastically. At this moment, another communications soldier came in with a message. He stood up and saluted Zhang Xueliang and reported: "Young Marshal, I just received a telegram from Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army.  .  " Zhang Xueliang suddenly raised his head, suppressed his anger and took the telegram, opened it and read it. The content of the telegram is as follows, "To Marshal Jun Jian, I have not resisted Japan since the September 18th Incident.  Defeated. You and I know the purpose of the young marshal leading the troops out of the pass. The battle between Chaoyang and Jinxian last night was a small punishment. I hope the marshal will take this as a warning and speed up the rest of the troops to return to the pass.  Intervene, otherwise, we will break up the face, and Xinghan will not mind eating the tens of thousands of young marshal's remaining troops." After Zhang Xiaoliu silently read the message word by word, his blood suddenly rushed to his heart, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Yin Hong's words.  Blood.  His face instantly became extremely pale, and he staggered for two steps before suddenly leaning back and fainting.  "Young Marshal, Young Marshal!" Chen Dazhang and the communications soldier were shocked when they saw this and shouted quickly.  After daybreak, dozens of aircraft from the Northeast New Army Air Force flew over the Daling River and launched a deterrent air strike against Xuezhong and He Zhuguo's troops.  Since Zhang Xueliang was unconscious, Chen Dazhang and others immediately drove him back to Peking for treatment.  After discussing with He Zhuguo, Rong Jin and others, Yu Xuezhong weighed the pros and cons and led his troops to retreat into the pass that afternoon.  Zhang Xinghan sent two tank regiments to follow up, which was regarded as surveillance. He personally led the main force and escorted 20,000 prisoners out of Jin County., crossed the Liao River and met up with Liu Jianguo and Du Ting.  In Yingkou City, the Japanese Army Headquarters.  "Nani? What did you say? The Northeastern Army was ambushed in Jin County? The 30,000-strong army was wiped out overnight?" After hearing the report from the communications staff, Okamura Neji could hardly believe his ears.  "Yes, Zhang Zuoxiang, the commander of the Northeast Army in Jinxian County, shot himself. Of the 30,000 soldiers under his command, 20,000 were made prisoners. According to intelligence reports, Zhang Xueliang was already unconscious because of this anger, and the Northeast Army was  Forced to start retreating!" the communications officer lowered his head.  Okamura Neiji was furious, "Bagaya Road, plus the Battle of Chaoyang, Zhang Xinghan captured almost 30,000 to 40,000 prisoners alone. Zhang Xueliang, this idiot, his release not only failed to cause any harm to the Northeast New Army"  "Substantial losses have only made it stronger. It's simply unreasonable!" "Okamura-kun, what should we do next?" Kentaro Kurotsuchi, the commander of the 106th Division, said with a worried look.  "Yingkou can no longer be defended. We must break through before Zhang Xinghan arrives!" Okamura Neiji said thoughtfully.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 257: Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps

    "Nani? Breakout?" Kentaro Kurotsuchi and Nakajima Village were shocked. They looked at each other and said, "Okamura-kun, now the naval fleet has just suffered a heavy blow. The sea route must be impassable. The armored troops of the China Army outside the city are waiting.  "Where should we break through?" Okamura Neiji lowered his head and looked at his watch and said: "There are still three or four hours before dark, and there are two roads in front of us. First, break out to the south and fight for  Break through the blockade of the Northeastern Army outside the city, attack the rear of the Chinese Army in Wafangdian, and capture Wafangdian with the main force of the imperial army, and join forces to fight against the Chinese Army's rural affairs. Second, although the naval fleet is in Pulandian.  The losses in the air attack were not small, but the main force is still there, and the ability to transport 30,000 imperial troops is still available. We can request the naval fleet to come immediately and board the ship at night to evacuate the camp when it gets dark. However, the China Army will never do it.  Sit back and watch us evacuate smoothly, so we need to leave a certain amount of troops to stop the attack, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." After Okamura Neji finished speaking, he looked up at Kurotsuchi Kentaro and Nakashimamura.  Nakashimamura frowned and said: "Okamura-kun, the China Army has also deployed a tank division outside the city. If we break out to the south, in my opinion, it is tantamount to seeking death. We will become armored by the tanks and armor of the China Army in the plains.  The troops are slaughtering lambs without the power to fight back. " "Well, General Nakajima is right. We don't have tanks and chariots to compete with them, and we don't have enough anti-tank weapons to effectively contain them. It will be too difficult to break through to the south.  ." Kentaro Kurotsuchi also nodded in agreement.  "What do you two mean?" Okamura Neji asked.  “Just follow the second route Okamura-kun said and take the sea route.” Kentaro Kurotsuchi said.  ???…………………… At about five o’clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan led all his troops to cross the Liao River and arrived in Panshan County to join the captured soldiers led by Liu Jianguo and Du Ting.  By now, Zhang Xinghan had more than 30,000 Northeastern Army prisoners.  Including more than 30,000 people from the 4th and 10th Motorized Infantry Divisions, the total number of people gathered in Panjin has exceeded 60,000.  But the tank regiments of the two divisions are still monitoring the retreat of the Northeastern Army west of Jinzhou.  However, these 30,000 prisoners are not yet able to participate in the battle against Japan, so they pretend to be the main force this time.  Although Zhang Xinghan's troops were very tight, he still transferred a regiment to Liu Jianguo and Du Ting.  The purpose was to prevent the 10,000 captives from happening before. During the march, most of the 10,000 captives were not issued weapons.  In the main hall on the first floor of the original county government of Panshan County, Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo, Du Ting and others gathered together.  Guo Zhong is reporting to Zhang Xinghan the battle damage and capture status of the Northeast Army.  "Commander. In this westward march, our casualties totaled more than 1,400, including 300 killed and more than 1,100 injured. A total of 30,228 enemy soldiers were captured, and various weapons were seized.  There are tens of thousands of weapons and equipment, but no ammunition." Guo Zhong said and closed a folder.  "Yes. If you can take away the weapons and ammunition, take them away. If you can't take them away, destroy them on the spot." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Commander, I heard that Marshal Zhang was so angry that he passed out this time. Haha, he has been aggrieved by this battle." Liu Jianguo smiled with a red face.  "Haha, that's what was expected." Zhang Xinghan smiled lightly.  "Commander, we will be free next. Can we use all our strength to deal with the Japanese?" Du Ting said eagerly.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "First capture the camp entrance and capture the old devil Okamura Neiji alive." "Commander, you said that once the old devil Okamura Neiji learns that the Northeast Army has been defeated by us, he will retreat to the pass.  Shouldn't you run away?" Liu Jianguo said suddenly.  Zhang Xinghan put away his smile when he heard this, "It's really possible. Now we only have the First Division and two tank regiments outside Yingkou City." After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, call the chief of staff and the police immediately.  Brother Jingzhong sent a message to them to be vigilant in case the Japanese in Yingkou took the opportunity to break out." "Yes!" Guo Zhong took the order.  Zhang Xinghan said to Liu Jianguo and Du Ting again: "Jianguo, Du Ting, in order to prevent accidents in the Yingkou battle, I decided to lead the troops back to Yingkou immediately. You two will be responsible for the custody and management of these 30,000 prisoners in Panshan County until the battle is over.  After this battle, we will reorganize them. "Commander, leave the custody of the prisoners to Lao Du. I will go to Yingkou with you." Liu Jianguo was a little anxious, so he felt comfortable leaving the prisoners in custody.  But there is no battle to fight. How could he, who is warlike by nature, miss what may be the last battle of the Northeastern New Army in a short period of time.  Zhang Xinghan looked at Du Ting and saw that he had no objection. He smiled and said, "That's right."?, you can coordinate and command, and you can also share some of the burden with me, let's go.  " "Thank you, Commander!  "Liu Jianguo was overjoyed. Half an hour later, Zhang Xinghan left a regiment and more than a thousand injured soldiers with Du Ting, and Liu Jianguo led the main force to leave Panshan County and quickly advanced toward the Daliao River.  East of Yingkou City, the 1st Division Headquarters Since Zhang Xinghan quickly won in Jin County, the 4th and 10th Divisions were able to quickly return reinforcements, so Gao Chu's 9th Division really rushed to Wafangdian for reinforcements.  Therefore, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili moved the headquarters to Huang Xiansheng's division headquarters and merged it into one. Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng were gathered around the map to discuss the military situation. A communications soldier stood at attention and saluted from behind them.  The chief of staff, division seat, and commander-in-chief are calling.  " Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng turned around quickly when they heard the sound. Huang Xiansheng even waved his hands and said: "Read it!  " "The Commander-in-Chief telegraphed that after the victory in the Battle of Jinxian, our army's worries have been lifted. In order to prevent the enemy at Yingkou from breaking out and escaping before our main force returns, we specifically instruct the Chief of Staff and Mr. Alarm Bell to be more vigilant.  When the message arrives, I have already set off with the main force and will arrive soon. Please stabilize the situation and wipe out all the enemies in Yingkou when I arrive.  "The communication soldier read quickly. "Well, I understand, you go down first.  "Huang Xiansheng waved his hand. After the communications soldier took the order and left, Huang Xiansheng said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, what do you think?  " "The commander-in-chief's tip is correct. With the cunning and cunning shown by Okamura Neiji before, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will take the opportunity to break out.  "Jiang Baili mused thoughtfully. "Then I will inform all regiments to be more vigilant and take precautions.  "Huang Xiansheng said. "The main thing is the tank troops. They are the biggest deterrent and obstacle to the Japanese army's breakout in Yingkou City. As long as they are more vigilant, even if Okamura Neji wants to break out, it will not be that easy.  "Jiang Baili urged. "Yes, I understand.  "Huang Xiansheng nodded. ……………………Nanjing, Jiang Gong's residence. Jiang Gong stood up with a shocked look on his face and said: "What did you say?  The Northeast Army was defeated?  " Seeing Chairman Chiang's expression of disbelief, Dai Li, who came to report, nodded quickly and said: "Replying to the committee, it is absolutely true. In the battle of Jin County, Zhang Zuoxiang was forced to commit suicide. The entire 30,000-strong Northeastern Army was wiped out, along with the troops not long ago.  The Battle of the Rising Sun.  More than half of the more than 100,000 Northeastern troops who left the border have been lost. Although Zhang Xueliang added Yu Xuezhong's troops during the period, Zhang Xueliang was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. He has not yet awakened from the infection and has no limit to his favor.  In view of this, the top leaders of the Northeast Army advocated retreat.  " "What about the losses of the Northeast New Army?  Chairman Chiang asked, his face still calm. "The loss is very small."  Dai Li said. After hearing this, Chairman Chiang sat down thoughtfully and suddenly asked: "Where is Zhang Hanqing now?"  " "It has been sent back to Peking for treatment.  Dai Li said. Chairman Chiang couldn't help scolding: "Mother Xipi, this useless thing has almost destroyed the little wealth that I left to him."  This time he went out with great force, but he was defeated in a single encounter. He lost tens of thousands of horses in vain, but got Zhang Xinghan's advantage. I think Zhang Hanqing is good enough to be the captain of the transportation team, so he is not a person to worry about.  .  " "What the committee member said is true. Among the more than 50,000 Northeast Army losses in this battle, more than 30,000 people became prisoners. It is very likely that these people will be reorganized and expanded by Zhang Xinghan and become the new Northeast Army.  "Dai Li nodded. "Mother Xipi!  "Chairman Chiang gritted his teeth angrily. "Commissioner, look, do we want to express something?  Dai Li asked. "Send a condolence message to Captain Zhang in your own name and wish him a speedy recovery."  "Chairman Chiang said angrily. "Yes.  Dai Li lowered his head and said: "What about Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern New Army?"  " "He hasn't called me to report his success yet, so let's wait and see what happens.  "Chairman Chiang said. "However, the Japanese have put pressure on our Ministry of Foreign Affairs several times, asking the government to order the Northeast New Army to immediately stop military operations in the Liaodong Peninsula, otherwise they will launch a full-scale invasion of China.  Dai Li said. Chairman Chiang was furious: "Niang Xipi, this is just fart. If the Japanese still have the ability to fully invade China, can they be chased and beaten by Zhang Xinghan?"  What a joke. Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reply that the war outside the customs was started by the Japanese army. The soldiers and civilians in Northeast China fought back to defend their homeland. This was a voluntary and spontaneous act. The government did not organize or participate in it. Banditry is now serious in the country.The central government was also unable to prevent the continuation of the fighting outside the pass.  "    "yes!  "Dai Li bowed his head again and withdrew respectfully. "" At seven o'clock that night, the Japanese naval fleet quietly arrived at the waters near Yingkou from Dalian Lushun Military Port. Yingkou City, inside the Japanese military headquarters. "General, the naval fleet has already arrived  arrive.  "A Japanese staff officer reported to Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji, who was already in full military uniform and ready to retreat, nodded and asked: "Are all the breakout troops ready?  " "Report to the general, all regiments are ready to break out and are ready to go.  "Japanese staff officer replied. Okamura Neiji nodded: "Send the location of the China Army outside the city to the naval fleet, ask them to immediately conduct naval artillery bombardment on the China Army, and then quickly dispatch transport ships to pick up the imperial army for evacuation.  " "Hai!  "The Japanese staff officer suddenly lowered his head in response and walked away quickly. (To be continued.

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 258: The nation is very fortunate

    The marching distance between Panshan County and Yingkou County is about 150 miles.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to set off at around 3:30 in the afternoon. By 7 in the evening, they had arrived at the west bank of the Daliao River and were crossing the river. They were already within easy reach of Yingkou.  On the sea about five nautical miles away from Yingkou, dozens of Japanese ships, large and small, have stopped, but of course they have not turned off.  Although five nautical miles is far away, it's not that the Japanese don't want to get closer. In fact, they must beware of possible artillery threats from the Northeastern New Army.  Although the power of the 150mm caliber artillery cannot be compared with their naval guns, if it really takes a few shots, the consequences will be disastrous.  Surrounded by dozens of warships, batches of rubber boats and small landing craft have been launched and are ready.  These are the ships used by the Japanese army to receive the evacuation of the port troops. There are more than 200 large and small ships, which can transport up to 1,500 to 200 people at a time.  Based on the number of Japanese troops in Yingkou, excluding the troops blocking the rear, they only need ten to fifteen times to pick up all the troops on board the ship.  A half-hour session would take at least five hours.  Therefore, when the Navy reported this situation to Okamura Neiji, Okamura Neiji, who was already preparing to evacuate, immediately shook his head and said: "No, five hours is too long. The Navy must send a large landing ship to assist the imperial army in retreating.  Coupled with various small ships, at least 3,000 to 4,000 imperial troops must be evacuated at one time, and all evacuation operations must be completed within two to three hours." As soon as Okamura Neiji finished speaking, the numbers on the sea were revealed.  Ten Japanese warships had already begun shelling.  The deafening sound of shelling suddenly sounded, breaking the quiet night sky.  Outside the city, on a certain position of the Northeast New Army Tank Division, a sudden muffled sound came from the direction of the sea.  Alarmed the sentries on duty, they turned around and looked towards the source of the sound, and were shocked to find dazzling crimson fireballs piercing the night sky and flying rapidly towards them.  The faces of the alert sentries changed drastically, and they hurriedly shouted at the top of their lungs: "Not good. There is an enemy situation, Japanese bombardment, bombardment!" It was too late, dozens of large-caliber naval gun shells had already roared down.  There was a violent explosion that shook the sky and the earth. In the dark night, the big explosions were as bright as fireworks, and scarlet flames rose into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten meters.  1st Division Headquarters.  Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng, who were having dinner, were alarmed by the violent explosion.  The two ran out of the headquarters one after another. Looking at the fire shooting into the sky in the distance, Jiang Baili's expression changed drastically: "It's bad. It must be the little devil who wants to break out." Huang Xiansheng also said in a panic: "Chief of Staff, I'm going to  "Take someone to see for yourself." "Brother Alarm Bell, don't worry. This should be the Japanese naval gunfire. It seems that the Japanese are planning to break out by sea. Their bombardment will continue for a while, and we can't lose our position."  In this case, I will send a message to the commander immediately and ask him to speed up the march and come as soon as possible. You will command the regiments to move closer to the south of the city immediately. If the Japanese want to evacuate by sea, they will definitely evacuate from the south of the city. " "Okay, I will evacuate immediately.  Arrangement." Huang Xian nodded.  "Also. The tank division is in the south of the city. To prevent them from getting into trouble, brother Alarm Bell, don't forget to contact them." Jiang Baili did not forget to tell him.  "Yes, I understand." Huang Xiansheng nodded again.  The two of them immediately left.  ???…………………… West Bank of Daliao River.  The 4th and 10th Divisions are crossing the river one after another.  The violent explosion in Yingkou City vaguely reached Zhang Xinghan’s ears.  "Jianguo, what sound do you hear?" Zhang Xinghan stopped smoking and asked.  When Liu Jianguo heard this, he quickly listened, his face changed drastically and he said, "Commander. It sounds like artillery shelling." "Yeah, it sounds like it to me too." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Zhong hurried over with a message in his hand.  "Commander, the chief of staff just sent an urgent message. The Japanese H naval fleet suddenly appeared and launched an artillery attack on our military position in Yingkou. The chief of staff said that the Japanese may have to flee by sea and asked us to rush to Yingkou as soon as possible to support the battle." Guo Zhong stepped forward.  Saluted.  Zhang Xinghan's expression changed slightly and asked: "How many troops have crossed the river?" "Two regiments have already crossed the river and are gathering." Guo Zhong replied.  Zhang Xinghan immediately turned to Liu Jianguo and said: "Jianguo, you stay and command the troops to continue crossing the river. I will lead two regiments to Yingkou to stop the Japanese army!" "Commander, why don't I lead the team there." Liu Jianguo said with concern.  &nbsp; "Okay, this time not only do we have to jointly command the divisions, but I have to do it." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Liu Jianguo no longer insisted and nodded: "Yes, commander, take care." Zhang Xinghan nodded, waved to Guo Zhong and said: "Zhongzi, bring the guard camp, let's go!"  It was fire and smoke filled the air. Unfortunately, some No. 4 tanks had been bombarded by Japanese naval guns and had turned into a pile of scrap metal. They were still on fire at this moment.  Because Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng were not afraid of danger and dealt with it promptly, the tank division deployed in the south of the city suffered certain losses.  But there was no chaos. They started moving under the command of their respective officers and quickly evacuated the Japanese bombing area.  At the same time, he was full of anger and prepared to intercept the Japanese troops leaving the city.  At this moment, a group of Japanese troops suddenly came out from the north of the city, because most of the troops in the north of the city were moving closer to the south of the city.  A small number of security troops were caught off guard and were defeated by the Japanese army.  "Come on, the division seat is not good. A Japanese army suddenly came out from the north gate. Our surrounding troops at the north gate have been defeated." At the headquarters of the 1st Division, a second lieutenant officer ran in with a panic look.  "North of the city?" Jiang Baili was slightly surprised when he heard this.  "Senate, could this be a plan by the Japanese to invade the east and attack the west?" Huang Xian said.  Jiang Baili nodded and said, "It's very possible." "Then what should we do?" Huang Xiansheng asked.  "Regardless of whether the Japanese are attacking from the east or west, we cannot allow them to break through smoothly. We must mobilize troops to drive the Japanese troops at the north gate back into the city. Otherwise, with them restraining us from behind, it will be difficult for our army to fully prevent the Japanese troops from breaking out from the south of the city." Jiang Baili said.  "Then I'll send the second regiment over immediately." Huang Xian said.  "Okay, but we must pay attention to the Japs in the east of the city, in case they repeat their old tricks and attack from the east of the city." Jiang Bailitou said.  Huang Xiansheng gave an order, and the second regiment, which was moving from the east of the city to the south of the city, immediately turned around and fought back to the north of the city.  At this moment, the Japanese naval guns suddenly stopped shelling the south of the city, turned their guns, and aimed at the east of the city, including the headquarters of the First Division.  A series of violent explosions sounded in the east of the city, and the soaring fire almost turned half of the sky red.  "Boom!" A violent explosion sounded not far from the 1st Division Headquarters, and the huge explosion shock wave shook the command headquarters to pieces of soil.  Huang Xiansheng shook his head, spit and cursed: "Damn, this little devil's naval gun is really powerful." General Jiang Baili took off his hat and slapped it with his hand: "That's natural, the devil's navy is known as Asia  First, the third in the world, the strength is naturally extraordinary." "It will be great when we can have a navy of this size." Huang Xiansheng said with emotion.  "Yes." Jiang Baili also nodded with some longing and sighed: "Brother Alarm Bell, you must have heard of the Tanaka Memorial, right?" "I have heard that the Tanaka Memorial seems to say that Japan must conquer China first if it wants to conquer us.  Manchuria and Mongolia are our four provinces outside the Pass, right?" Huang Xiansheng said.  "Only if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. If you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China. If China can be completely conquered by our country, then other peoples in other countries, such as Central Asia Minor and India and Southeast Asia, will fear and respect me.  The surrender to me means that the world knows that East Asia is our country’s East Asia and will never dare to invade me. This is the main content of Tanaka’s memorial. The meaning is very clear and it is enough to show the ambition of the Japanese.” Jiang Baili paused meaningfully.  He suddenly said: "And Jiang also has ambitions and opinions related to the survival and development of the Chinese nation." "Oh? I would like to hear the details." Huang Xiansheng said curiously.  "The Japanese want to conquer China to compete with the world, in order to achieve their ambition to expand the living space of the nation, dominate Asia and even the world. And if we, the Chinese nation, want to re-emerge as a powerful nation, we must first cut off our most serious worries -  Japan. The Japanese are an extremely ambitious nation, and their unique geographical environment forces them to continuously expand outwards to gain more living space. And our Chinese mainland and the Korean Peninsula are the best targets for their expansion.  If you want to rise and revive China, you must eliminate the Japanese, a serious threat. Not to mention annihilating them all, you must at least completely defeat them militarily so that they lose the ability to spy on our Chinese nation. To achieve this strategic goal,  "We must have our own powerful navy."Commander, let’s talk about it. I think he will be interested.  "Huang Xiansheng said in deep agreement. "Of course, these words are just uttered temporarily. You need to know that our China is still an agricultural country, and the comprehensive strength of Japan, an industrial country, is very different. If we want to form an able  It is not easy to match Japan's navy.  "Jiang Baili said helplessly. "Don't be discouraged, sir. When the September 18th Incident broke out, we didn't expect that the Northeast battlefield would turn into this situation, right?  So, anything is possible.  " Huang Xiansheng was very optimistic. In fact, he believed in Zhang Xinghan. Jiang Baili shook his head and said with emotion: "The commander-in-chief is a genius. He is an outstanding figure that we have seen in China for a century. With such soldiers, the Northeast is very lucky, the country is very lucky, and the Chinese nation is very lucky!  " At this moment, another staff officer hurriedly ran in and saluted: "Senate, Master, the Japanese have begun to break out and attack from the south gate.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 259: Tomorrow’s General Offensive

    "Order the tank division to immediately launch an all-out interception, and order another regiment. The third regiment will immediately outflank me from the west of the city to the east and move around to cooperate with the tank division!" Huang Xiansheng made a decisive deployment immediately.  "Yes!" The staff officer quickly took the order and left.  Not long after, he returned and said anxiously: "Come on, sit down, master, another group of Japanese soldiers came out from the east of the city. The remaining battalion of the third regiment is fighting fiercely with them. The situation is very critical." "Damn it,  It only takes 30,000 people to support the little devil, but he can still turn the world upside down." Huang Xiansheng said to Jiang Baili angrily: "Come on, please stay and take command. I will bring the guard battalion up to support." "Okay, be careful.  "Jiang Baili nodded.  Huang Xiansheng grinned: "Don't worry." Yan Wei walked out of the headquarters and shouted loudly: "Guard battalion, follow me!" South of Yingkou City, thousands of Japanese troops rushed in at night.  After leaving the city, the vanguard of the Northeast New Army Tank Division and dozens of tanks arrived in time.  The Japanese troops were being intercepted by fire. The First Division, the First Regiment and the Third Regiment were also outflanking them from two directions. The two sides were fighting fiercely.  In the fierce fire exchange, soldiers from both sides were shot and fell from time to time. Of course, the majority of the Japanese were without tank cover.  At this moment, a large group of Japanese troops suddenly came out from the west of the city and swarmed like a tide near the mouth of the Daliao River.  Here, hundreds of Japanese ships have been waiting for a long time.  Okamura Neji, Kurotsuchi Kentaro, Nakashimamura and more than 2,000 Japanese troops were the first to board the ship and leave.  Immediately after the two large landing ships docked, in less than half an hour, more than two thousand Japanese soldiers climbed aboard the ships, and the number of Japanese soldiers boarding the ships was still increasing.  On the deck, in the cabin.  It was almost packed with Japanese troops.  When the first batch of Japs such as Okamura Neiji arrived at the fleet group and boarded the large transport ship waiting there.  The second group of Japanese soldiers also quickly boarded the ship.  In less than an hour, the Japanese from Yingkou withdrew seven or eight thousand people.  The three main regiments of the First Division and the tank troops were all attracted by the Japanese army in the three directions: southeast, north and south. The Japanese rear troops received death orders and the attack was particularly fierce, so they could not escape at all.  In this critical moment.  Zhang Xinghan led two infantry regiments of more than 4,000 people and arrived.  Due to the geographical environment, the route Zhang Xinghan and the others took happened to be west of Yingkou City.  The first thing that happened was that a large number of Japanese troops were stranded on the shore of the estuary.  Without any hesitation, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the troops to attack.  The Japanese security forces also discovered them, and a fierce battle quickly broke out between the two sides.  Without the support and cover of the tank troops, the offensive of the Northeastern New Army, which did not have superior strength, was very difficult.  In order to escape, the Japanese all fought desperately.  Therefore, although the Northeast New Army's weapons and equipment were superior to the Japanese army, it was still unable to defeat the Japanese army.  The two sides fell into a fierce battle.  Seeing groups of Japanese troops boarding ships and escaping, Zhang Xinghan, who personally directed the troops to attack, paced back and forth anxiously.  Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, send a message to the Chief of Staff immediately. Order the howitzer regiment directly under the 1st Division to immediately turn the muzzle, aim at a radius of two kilometers around the mouth of the Daliao River, and bomb him hard."  "Son of a bitch." "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded loudly and hurriedly followed the order.  After about a few minutes, the 36 105mm howitzers of the artillery regiment directly under the First Division roared one after another.  The shells fell one after another and exploded one after another, and balls of fire rose into the sky from the shore of the estuary.  The dense crowd of Japanese soldiers was immediately bombed and suffered heavy casualties.  Some shells even fell into the water, blowing some Japanese rubber boats and landing craft into pieces.  It caused considerable damage to the Japanese.  On the Japanese fleet, a Japanese staff officer quickly reported the situation to Okamura Neiji.  Okamura Neji raised his eyebrows and said with a ferocious expression: "Request the fleet's artillery group to immediately adjust the shooting of the Yuan Dynasties to suppress the Chinese artillery fire." "Hai." The Japanese staff member quickly lowered his head and responded.  In order to ensure that most of the troops can evacuate safely, Okamura Neji, Kurotsuchi Kentaro and others can be said to have spent a lot of money this time.  There were enough troops left behind to strengthen the two regiments, with the total number reaching more than 7,000.  And a battle plan was formulated before the breakout. The rear-end troops' attacks from the east, north and south of the city were all arranged by Okamura Neiji in advance.  The cunning Neji Okamura knows.  The south of the city is closest to the coast, where the naval guns are firing.After the fire, the commander of the Northeast New Army must have believed that the Japanese army would break out from the south of the city and board the ship.  So he chose the real breakout direction to the west of the city, but he didn't expect Zhang Xinghan's reinforcements to come so quickly.     but.  The next performance of the naval gun group disappointed Okamura Neiji. Since it was night and the land was turned into a pot of porridge, there were explosions everywhere.  Therefore, the artillery observers of the Japanese Navy were unable to obtain accurate positions, and several rounds of shelling failed to destroy the howitzer positions of the Northeast New Army.  Okamura Neji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, cursing the navy for its incompetence.  By this time, the fighting in the west of the city had reached an extremely fierce level, in order to prevent the Japanese troops from boarding the ships and evacuating.  Zhang Xinghan also threw the guard battalion into the battle, and the two sides launched an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle.  Guard battalion commander Guo Zhong also went into battle personally carrying an MP18 submachine gun.  "Da da da" After a round of shooting, Guo Zhong raised his arms and shouted: "You bastards, come on for me. You must not let the little devils escape. Kill them!" The officers and soldiers of the guard camp were firing on all cylinders.  Inspired by the Japanese army, they fought bravely to take the lead and launched successive charges against the Japanese army.  From time to time, someone fell on the charging road, but soon new soldiers jumped over the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge without fear of death.  Under the fierce and fearless attack of the Northeastern New Army, the Japanese blocking troops suffered heavy casualties.  On the bank of the river is a large number of buffer plains, which are flat and unobstructed.  The Japanese did not have any decent defenses, and both sides were almost always filling them with human lives.  Some Japanese soldiers even used the corpses of their sacrificed comrades as cover to shoot tenaciously.  When the war situation is fierce.  Another half hour of fierce fighting passed.  After another group of Japanese troops boarded the ship despite the artillery fire of the Northeastern New Army, there were only four to five thousand Japanese soldiers left on the shore.  At this moment, Liu Jianguo arrived with the main force of two divisions.  Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered all the troops to attack, and the four to five thousand Japanese were immediately in despair.  "The fighter plane had disappeared, and Okamura Neiji had no choice but to reluctantly abandon nearly 5,000 blocking troops.  The naval fleet began to return.  Trapped in a desperate situation, more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers fought to the death with considerable combat effectiveness.  Nearly 20,000 Northeastern New Army troops attacked continuously for more than two hours, but they were unable to annihilate them all, and the casualties were not small.  "Commander, the Japanese fleet has left. These Japanese and the Japanese in the city are already dead. In my opinion, let's temporarily stop the attack and wait until daybreak to use our air force and artillery to destroy them. Forced attack, the troops  The casualties are too great," Liu Jianguo cautiously suggested to Zhang Xinghan, who was almost red-eyed.  The Japanese army withdrew nearly two-thirds of its troops, and Zhang Xinghan was very angry, so.  The troops were ordered to attack continuously for more than two hours.  "But the tenacity of this group of Japanese soldiers exceeded Zhang Xinghan's expectations. After two hours of fierce attack, they failed to annihilate them all.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "No, call me a tank regiment immediately. With the tank troops as the leader, attack the Japanese tonight. We must eat these thousands of little Japanese." "Yes!" Liu Jianguo saw Zhang Xinghan moved.  Really angry, without any hesitation, he immediately took the order and left.  At this time, the Japanese who had stayed behind in Yingkou City had been beaten back one after another, relying on the city defense to prepare for the final trap.  Soon, dozens of No. 4 tanks were transferred over. With the addition of tanks, the battle became much smoother.  Under the cover of tanks, a large number of infantry advanced extremely quickly. Almost all the temporary fortifications dug by the Japanese were turned into ruins under the bombardment of tank guns.  The Japanese soldiers were so suppressed that they could not even lift their heads.  Even if they barely fired, the bullets could not penetrate the thick armor of the No. 4 tank group.  As the distance got closer, the grenadiers and rocket soldiers of the Northeastern New Army opened fire one after another.  Finally, under the cover of a group of tanks and chariots.  The new Northeastern troops poured into the Japanese positions like a tide.  In close combat, the Northeast New Army’s rapid fire advantages such as submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles began to gradually come into play.  After more than an hour of fierce fighting, all those on the shore were finally annihilated.  After handing the troops to Liu Jianguo to command the siege, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Guo Zhong, took a jeep to the headquarters of the First Division.  "Chief of Staff, alarm bell!" Zhang Xinghan saw Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng as soon as he got out of the car.  "Commander, you are back." The two men stood up and saluted.  "Haha, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan said happilyA ??smile.  "Let's go and talk first." The four people walked into the headquarters one after another. Zhang Xinghan asked: "How is it? Are the casualties of the troops heavy?" "Each regiment has casualties, but they are not too big." Huang Xiansheng said.  "Haha, that's good." Zhang Xinghan smiled and suddenly said seriously: "Now all the Japs outside the city have been wiped out by our army, and only a few Japs in the city are still fighting against the trapped beasts. I decided,  The troops will rest temporarily and launch a general attack on Yingkou City early tomorrow morning. The battle must be ended before dark. Tell the commanders of the infantry regiments not to make any small calculations for me in this battle. I will shoot anyone who dares to attack without risking his life.  "As for the battle losses, I will replenish them as much as possible after this battle, and they are all veterans with combat experience!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng stood up and said solemnly at the same time.  "Commander, how many prisoners did you capture during this westward march?" Huang Xiansheng asked curiously.  "It's not that many, more than 30,000 people," Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese.  "What? More than 30,000 people?" Huang Xiansheng was shocked, and then he was overjoyed. He patted his chest and promised: "Commander, please rest assured. Tomorrow our First Division will go all out to be the first to attack Yingkou City." ps: Still.

    I was speechless all night, and it was just getting dark the next day.  Zhang Xinghan woke up like a conditioned reflex and shouted outside: "Zhongzi!" "Commander, you are looking for me." Guo Zhong entered in response.  "What time is it?" Zhang Xinghan asked, rubbing his eyes.  "Six o'clock." Guo Zhong replied.  Zhang Xinghan looked around and asked, "Where are the chief of staff and Commander Huang?" "The chief of staff and Commander Huang just went to inspect and deploy the siege." Guo Zhong replied.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Immediately send power to Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang and order them to dispatch all the pilots to conduct an all-round bombing of Yingkou City. The 1st Division, 4th Division, and 1st Division are directly under the artillery.  The regiment also concentrated artillery fire on me. Yingkou City, I don’t want to see another intact building. Before dark, the Japanese troops in the city must be wiped out to avenge the tragic death of the local people. After the battle is over, we will rebuild Yingkou City.  " "Yes!" Guo Zhong stood up and responded, then turned and left.  More than half an hour later, more than 200 fighters and bombers from two flight groups of the Northeast New Army Pilot Division arrived one after another.  A bombing of unprecedented scale began, and Yingkou City quickly turned into a sea of ??flames.  Fighter planes were flying back and forth rapidly in the sky. As soon as they were discovered, they immediately swooped and fired violently at the city.  The Japanese soldiers hiding in the buildings in the city did not dare to leave their houses and take to the streets. As a result, heavy aerial bombs fell and collapsed the houses where they were hiding, and they were buried alive.  Immediately afterwards, three howitzer regiments also began a fierce shelling.  …………… At the same time, Dalian Lushun Fortress, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Okamura Neiji, who had just landed, walked into the headquarters with a face full of shame. He lowered his head and reported to Hishikari Taka: "Your Excellency, General. I failed to complete the mission and lost more than half of the troops. Please punish me." Hishikari Taka stood up and left.  When he came to Okamura Neiji, he said in a gentle tone: "Okamura-kun. You are not to blame for the defeat in this battle. On the contrary, you showed me your outstanding abilities. If the Shenyang battle can be handed over to you to command, Manchuria  The situation will never turn into what it is today." With that said, Hisashikari patted Okamura Neiji on the shoulder: "Get a good rest. Next, the imperial army will have to defend Dalian. Shenyang can be lost, and Yingkou can be lost.  , but Dalian must not be lost. This is the last limit of the base camp! As long as we can hold on for more than half a month, new reinforcements will arrive, and everything will be solved." "Hai!"  Neji quickly lowered his head in gratitude, turned around and left with his saber in hand.  After watching Okamura Neji leave, Chief of Staff Kuniaki Oiso said: "General, Okamura Neji lost 20,000 precious troops. Why didn't you punish him?" "My predecessor Muto Nobuyoshi lost a lot of money.  With hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, he was only dismissed. Although Okamura lost 20,000 troops, he bought us more than ten days, and he almost succeeded in taking the risk and reversed the situation of the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop.  It also caused a lot of casualties to the Chinese people. Most importantly, through the Battle of Yingkou, I discovered Okamura-kun's excellent strategic and tactical command capabilities. He is younger than us and will definitely be one of the most important figures in the empire in time.  Your Majesty, you are a great talent!" Ling Qianlong said meaningfully.  Koiso Kuniaki frowned disapprovingly, but said nothing more.  Outside Yingkou City, Zhang Xinghan had breakfast and came to a high ground in the east of the city surrounded by Guo Zhong, Jiang Baili and others.     stand right here.  You can clearly see Yingkou County not far away.  Holding the telescope, one can clearly see the situation in Yingkou County.  Everywhere was filled with thick smoke and fire caused by the explosion, ruins, ruins and rubble, a scene of doomsday.  Huang Xiansheng on the side held up a telescope and said, "With such fierce firepower, even a mouse will die three times. Isn't it time for each regiment to rush into the city and become a corpse collection team?" "Otherwise, Commander  Let's save artillery shells, aerial bombs and fuel, and let the troops attack!" Huang Xiansheng turned to Zhang Xinghan.  "No, no one is allowed to attack rashly without my order. If the artillery shells and aerial bombs are gone, they can be rebuilt, but if human lives are lost, there is nothing. In my eyes, my soldiers are always more important than those weapons and ammunition.  "Besides, in such a large county, our bombing may seem powerful, but it is impossible to really wipe out all the Japs. "Sometimes, people are really more durable than the Japs." As he said this, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope.  , took the lead to go down the highland.  Returned to the temporary headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan asked Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, how is the situation in the direction of Wafangdian?" "Gao Chu has led the 9th Division and two heavy artillery brigades to arrive one after another. The Japanese also stopped attacking, probably because they have already  The reason for giving up Yingkou," Jiang Baili replied.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "The Japanese are shrinking their troops. It seems that they intend to defend Dalian and Lushun Fortress." "Commander, I don't know whether to say something or not." Jiang Baili said hesitantly.  "Say." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Since the beginning of the Battle of Shenyang, the troops have been fighting continuously for nearly three months. The officers and soldiers of each division are very exhausted both physically and mentally, and their morale is also far worse than before. The most important thing is that our logistics pressure is too great.  The food consumption of an army of more than 100,000 is extremely alarming. The price of food in northern and southern Manchuria is soaring. If this continues, it may cause food panic and lead to economic collapse in various places." Jiang Baili said with a worried look.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan listened carefully and said, "Chief of Staff, do you have any good ideas?" "The best way is to stop the war immediately and find a way to buy grain from the provinces in the pass. It is about to be busy with farming, and the entire South  War has caused people to be displaced and crops to be barren. Therefore, we must not only find ways to purchase food and stabilize food prices, but also organize people and troops to help restore production to ensure that people can survive smoothly.  This year's cold winter." Jiang Baili said briefly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded repeatedly and said: "Chief of Staff, everything you said is right, but war is just like this. Not only are our soldiers bleeding and dying on the front line, but the entire place and country will be affected. Whether it is princes, generals, or  Ordinary people are not immune. The war is all about logistics, money and food. Although the situation in the Northeast is very good, the actual difficulties are as you said, but I am aware of them.  , From a long-term strategic perspective, the battle to the south has progressed to this point. We must not give up midway and fall short. Therefore, Dalian must be captured, and the sooner the better, so that the war can be ended as soon as possible for Japan.  Human reinforcements should be arriving soon. " "The commander is right. I also understand that Dalian's geographical location is very important. If we don't recover this place, it will be a big threat to us in the future.  The so-called sleeping under the bed is not allowed. But Commander, have you ever considered it? There are hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops huddled in the Dalian area. Moreover, the Lushun Fortress has been operated by both Japan and Russia for a long time, so it is definitely a tough nut to crack.  . As I said just now, our troops are very tired after several months of continuous fighting. The comparison of the strength of the enemy and our army does not allow us to forcefully attack the stronghold.  The Japanese army is in great danger and suffering," Jiang Baili said worriedly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded angrily and said: "It makes sense. This is why I was very angry last night, because if one more Japanese was released from Yingkou, we would have one more resistance to attack Dalian. It's a pity that we couldn't stop it in the end."  Okamura Neiji, the old fox, let him escape. "Commander, don't worry. It was Baili's command mistake this time, and the responsibility lies entirely with me." Jiang Baili said.  "Brother Baili's words are serious." Zhang Xinghan said: "However, this bastard Okamura Neji does have a few tricks up his sleeve and must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise he will become our strong enemy in the future." "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  After a pause, Zhang Xinghan said: "Forget it, we will discuss the attack on Dalian later. The top priority now is to capture Yingkou first and relieve our worries." At twelve o'clock at noon, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had lunch and both came to the First Division.  On the group's attack position.  By this time, the bombing had been going on all morning. Most of the Air Force fighter planes had made several trips back and forth, and now most of them had returned. Only the artillery units were still continuing the bombardment.  So the roaring explosions and shelling sounds still sound from time to time.  With the support of Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others, Zhang Xinghan came to a group of officers and soldiers.  Started pre-war mobilization: "Brothers, not long ago, Little Japan massacred more than ten of us in Yingkou.Dear fellow countrymen, now is the time for revenge.  " Huang Xiansheng took advantage of the situation and raised his arms and shouted: "Kill all the Japanese invaders and avenge the villagers!  " "Kill all the Japanese invaders and take revenge!  " "Kill all the Japanese invaders and take revenge!  " "Kill all the Japanese invaders and take revenge!  "More than two thousand officers and soldiers immediately raised their guns and responded in unison. A huge wave of sound rose into the sky and resounded in all directions, faintly suppressing the roaring sound of the cannon. "Okay, you group can be regarded as my starting army. I am 3  The old foundation of the camp.  In the words of the emperors, you are the Royal Guards, the elite among the elite, and the ace among the aces. Then, show your strength next.  I believe that the glory will always belong to you!  " Niu Erzhu, the commander of the First Regiment and the deputy commander of the First Division, put on his helmet, took a step forward, took the lead and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, the soldiers of our First Regiment will go all out and swear to live up to the name of the elite.  Glory belongs to my group!  ” ps: The fourth update, 12,000 completed, please give me monthly votes, please subscribe, and please recommend votes!!!

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 261: Recover the whole Liao Dynasty

    At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan gave the order.  The 1st, 4th, and 10th Motorized Infantry Divisions of the Northeastern New Army, with nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers, launched a comprehensive general attack on Yingkou City.  After a half-day of air raids, bombardments and artillery bombardments, the Japanese troops who retreated hastily to Yingkou City last night to make a last stand suffered heavy losses.  The most important thing is that it has been more than ten days since they landed in Yingkou. Although they have plundered a lot of food from Yingkou City, the ammunition they carried was almost exhausted after a brutal battle last night.  Coupled with low morale, the disparity in military strength is too great.  Therefore, the general offensive of the Northeast New Army went very smoothly. Each regiment attacked with all their strength. By evening, the remaining Japanese enemies in the city had been basically eliminated. Read the full text of "The Final Battle of the Online Game".  At seven o'clock in the evening, the battle was completely over. Zhang Xinghan ordered all the troops to clean the battlefield and rest in place, preparing to continue southward.  In the headquarters in the east of the city, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others were gathering for dinner. After a small victory, only a small part of Dalian was left in the Liaodong Peninsula.  Zhang Xinghan and his men were very happy, and it had been hard for them to command operations for such a long time.  Zhang Xinghan authorized the cooking team to bring them a few bottles of seized Japanese sake and stir-fry a few simple side dishes.  It’s like adding extra food to express my condolences to Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others.  After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.  Huang Xiansheng picked up the wine cup and took a sip, saying, "Commander, can we attack Dalian next?" "Yes, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off to march towards Dalian." Zhang Xinghan replied with a smile.  "Commander, there is something I must say." Huang Xiansheng said.  "Brother Jingzhong, please speak." Zhang Xinghan signaled.  "Our divisions have been fighting against the Japanese for a long time, and the officers and soldiers are exhausted. Moreover, the city of Dalian is high and the trenches are deep, especially the Lushun Military Port Fortress. Lao Maozi started to build it before. Later, after the Japanese took over,  It has already been improved day by day. It can definitely be said to be impregnable. Neither Shenyang nor Changchun or Jinzhou can compare with it. And the Japanese army's strength is not much better than ours." Huang Xiansheng said.  "The Chief of Staff already told me about this last night." Zhang Xinghan picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. He paused and said, "It is difficult to attack Dalian, but we must fight this battle."  . And we must fight at all costs. Therefore, before the end of this battle, I think we, as commanders, must first be confident and not be overly pessimistic. We, the soldiers, have something to do and something not to do.  We have the bounden duty to protect our country and defend our territory and sovereignty. No matter how great the difficulties are, we must face them with strength and work hard to overcome them. In a word, we will die if we fail!  Only with determination can we win the Battle of Dalian. "There is no invincible fortress in this world. As long as we are united and not afraid of life and death, victory will definitely belong to us." "The commander is right, soldiers must have courage.  If you are never afraid of fighting and are not afraid of life and death, you will never be able to win a battle if you are always timid and timid before fighting." Liu Jianguo said immediately.  Zhang Xinghan, in case Huang Xiansheng was unable to step down, quickly changed the subject and said: "We won't talk about military affairs tonight, we will only talk about brotherhood. Just drink, come on!" "Do it!" Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others raised their glasses one after another.  The next morning, Zhang Xinghan woke up early as usual, but he drank a little too much last night.  My head feels a little dizzy.  I washed my face with cold water and felt much better after breakfast.  Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to set off, and at the same time sent a telegram to Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe, and Gao Chu, ordering them to lead the army first and march towards Jinzhou on the outskirts of Dalian.  At the same time, the Third Flying Regiment deployed in northern Manchuria was secretly transferred to the south, preparing to concentrate all air forces to participate in the attack on Dalian. Read the full text of Summoning Meng Zhanji.  Dalian Lushun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese invading army.  Okamura Neiji put on a clean general's uniform and came with a general's sword to attend the emergency military meeting chaired by Commander Hisashikari Taka.  In addition to Chief of Staff Kuniaki Oiso, the meeting was also attended by division commanders, including Kentaro Kurotsuchi and Nakashimamura, commanders of the 106th and 114th divisions who fought side by side with Okamura Neji in Yingkou.  Okamura Neji was not the first to arrive. Many generals had already arrived before him, but he did not talk to them.Not much conversation, but coming to my own place.  Unlike other division commanders who were talking and whispering among themselves, Okamura Neji sat without squinting, waiting for the arrival of Commander Hisashikari Taka.  "Your Majesty the General has arrived!" a loud voice sounded.  Including Okamura Neiji, the seven or eight Japanese division commanders and chiefs of staff present suddenly stood up.  Hisashi Karutaka, an old Japanese soldier with a saber on his shoulder and polished military boots, strode in with his head held high and accompanied by an aide-de-camp.  A group of Japanese military officers, including Okamura Neiji, saluted.  Hishikarataka came to the head of the group. After saluting in return, he waved his hands with a serious expression and signaled: "Everyone, please take a seat." After everyone sat down, Hishikarataka looked at the subordinates present and said: "Generals, China is resisting  The Northeastern New Army of Zhang Xinghan's army captured Yingkou last night, and all the imperial troops in the inner palace of Yingkou were destroyed. Now, the Chinese army has left Yingkou and is gathering towards Dalian. Its strategic purpose is very clear, and it is to attempt to capture it.  Dalian and even the Lushun Fortress. Before I came to the meeting, I had just communicated with the base camp. The base camp asked us to defend Dalian at all costs and protect the last overseas base in Manchuria for the imperial army.  After a pause, he said: "Now, please generals, please express your opinions. If you have any good defense plans, you can put forward them." Okamura Neiji suddenly stood up and said, "I'm reporting to you, General, I have a humble position here."  A defensive battle plan was prepared overnight, which included specific troop deployments and a battle plan on how to defend." As he spoke, Okamura Neiji took out a document and handed it to Hisashikari Taka.  Hishikarataka took it and opened it with doubt.  His face suddenly changed, and finally he nodded happily with admiration and said: "Hey, Okamura-kun, you made these overnight?" "Yes, General." Okamura Neji bowed his head respectfully.  "The deployment of troops is even down to the squadron. Okamura-kun has really worked hard." Hisashikari Taka encouraged him with appreciation.  "This is what you should do in a humble position." Okamura Neji lowered his head and said.  "This defensive battle plan. I will study it and consider it immediately. If it is indeed feasible, then the Dalian defensive battle will be carried out according to your battle plan, Okamura-kun." Hisashikari Takashi said.  ?????????????In the morning, the sun is scorching hot, on the highways on both sides of the railway line from Wafangdian to Dalian.  A convoy of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the 2nd, 3rd and 9th Divisions of the Northeastern New Army.  It stretches for several kilometers.  Because there were not enough vehicles, many soldiers had to march on foot, carrying machine guns weighing more than ten kilograms. Some soldiers were sweating profusely. Read the full text of the collapse.  "Brothers, cheer up, Dalian is ahead. That is our natural ice-free port in the Northeast. It has been occupied by old men and little devils for many years. It is time for it to return to the embrace of the motherland." Some.  Junior officers with student backgrounds began to encourage their subordinates.  "Brother Dingfang, what do you think of this attack on Dalian?" Zhao Zhenfan turned to Wang Yizhe on a military jeep and asked.  "It will definitely be a fierce battle." Wang Yizhe said bluntly: "The enemy and we are evenly matched, and our army has a slight advantage in strength. After these few months of fierce fighting, the consumption of morale can be said to be negligible." "So.  "Brother Dingfang is not optimistic?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "It's not that we are not optimistic, but the situation is indeed like this. Dalian is very important to us, and it is also very important to the Japanese. It is no exaggeration to say that the Kwantung Army has reached the point of no retreat and will fight to the death with all its strength, so it is said  "The battle in Dalian will be a brutal one. To be honest, the outcome is unpredictable." Wang Yizhe said.  "Brother Dingfang, I don't think so. First of all, our army has the absolute advantages of air force, artillery and tanks and armored forces. Individual weapons are also completely ahead of the Japanese army. I believe we will be able to win Dalian and completely regain our city.  Naturally, the harbor does not freeze." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "You are right. In the Battle of Shenyang and even the Battle of Tongliao, our army was at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In the end, we won the war with outnumbered enemies." Wang Yizhe nodded and agreed: "I hope we can complete several generations of  It’s a long-cherished wish that none of our countrymen have been able to fulfill. Recover Dalian and restore the whole Liao Dynasty!” “It will definitely be possible,” Zhao Zhenfan said with a confident smile.  "Yes, it will definitely work." Wang Yizhe also nodded.     …………………………    oceanShenwei, the headquarters of the Soviet Far East Military District.  A Soviet colonel walked into the office of the commander Vasily Konstantinovich Blucher.  Saluted and reported: "Dear Comrade Commander." "Comrade Reeves, what can I do?" Blucher put down the document in his hand and looked up and asked.  "According to the report of our agents lurking in northern Manchuria, the Northeast Army Air Force stationed in Jiamusi suddenly took off one after another in the morning and has not returned yet. I guess that they may have been transferred elsewhere." Colonel Reeves  He replied respectfully.  "Oh? Where will the Chinese transfer them?" Bluher asked doubtfully.  "If nothing else happens, I think it should be the South Manchuria front line." Reeves said.  "Oh? Tell me about the current situation in South Manchuria." Bluher became interested.  "Zhang Xueliang led his troops out of the customs a few days ago in an attempt to join forces with the Japanese to defeat the New Northeast Army. Unfortunately, within five days, his troops were defeated by Zhang Xinghan and retreated to the customs in disgrace. Zhang Xinghan is currently  With no worries, the Japanese also abandoned Yingkou and reduced their forces to defend Dalian. Under Zhang Xinghan's instructions, the Northeastern New Army has gradually gathered in Dalian. "So, a fierce battle will break out in Dalian in the near future."  (To be continued.

    After hearing this, Bluher's eyes lit up and he mused: "So, the Northeast New Army should be almost exhausted now. In Chinese terms, it should be the end of the strong bow." "Yes.  Yes, I believe that if the Northeast New Army indeed transfers the air force deployed in Jiamusi and other places to the south, it may be a difficult opportunity for us." Reeves said.  "Tell me about it." Bluher leaned on the chair with interest and waved to Awei.  "In the Middle East Railway incident, Zhang Xinghan completely deceived us. This is a rogue act. And the failure in this battle is also a shame for our great Soviet Union. Therefore, we must look for opportunities to avenge our shame. General, you said you are humble."  Right?" Reeves said.  "Yeah." Bluher nodded in agreement.  "Well, now our opportunity has come. As long as the main force of the Northeastern New Army is at war with the Japanese in Dalian. We can gather absolute superiority in strength and launch another attack on Manzhouli and Heihe. The Northeastern New Army cannot take care of both the head and the tail. We will definitely  Being able to win or even capture the entire Northern Manchuria is not a problem. In order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, I also suggested that we should unite with the Japanese to carry out this campaign. The Japanese will hold back the main force of the Northeastern New Army in Dalian. As long as we capture Northern Manchuria,  If the Northeast New Army loses its rear base, it will be defeated. At this time, we and the Japanese can attack from the north and south and carve up the entire Northeast according to the railway lines. "After saying this, Reeves lowered his voice and said: "Even, we can.  After dealing with the Northeastern New Army, we took the opportunity to attack the Japanese and take over the whole of Manchuria, which originally belonged to us. "Bluher nodded with deep understanding and said: "Reeves informs you.  These insights are very unique, I will seriously consider them and report them to the great SDL leader.”……………………… Around two o’clock in the afternoon.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others led their troops to catch up with the advanced regiments of Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe.  After joining forces, the troops were stationed outside Jin County (today's Jinzhou District, Dalian).  Jinzhou is the last barrier to Dalian, and the Japanese have deployed heavy troops here.  Zhang Xinghan did not rush to attack, but secretly took Jiang Baili and others to the frontier to reconnoiter the terrain and Japanese troop deployment.  Jin County is built on the Daheishan Mountain in the east. This mountain is the highest mountain in southern Liaoning and is extremely steep.  So if you want to enter Dalian.  It is necessary to break through the Japanese defense line of Jin County. ? Inside Okamura Neiji’s defensive battle plan.  The most critical point is the Jinxian defense line, which is not only the first forward line of defense, but also the most critical spinning line.  Before the arrival of Zhang Xinghan and his troops, Hisashikari Takashi, an old devil, had already adopted Okamura Neiji's deployment against all opinions.  The number of troops originally deployed in Jinshan was increased by 20%, and the fortifications along the mountain were repaired.  Prepare to fight step by step.  In a forest on a high slope at the western foot of Dahei Mountain, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope, turned to Jiang Baili and said, "Chief of Staff, the terrain here is steep enough. Jin County is built on the mountains and the sea. If you want to get through here, there are only two roads.  The first is to attack Jin County. The second is to go by sea. "It's a pity that we don't have a navy, so this is the only way we have left." Jiang Baili also frowned and nodded: "It can be said that this is the only way."  It's so dangerous. I think the Japanese army will definitely deploy heavy troops here. If they attack by force, the price will be too high. " "Let's go back first and then think of a way." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  The group secretly returned to the secret headquarters located more than ten miles north of Jin County.  Jiang Baili and others frowned and fell into deep thought. Read the full text of True Marriage and Love.  Then worry about how to attack Dalian.  "Damn it, I didn't expect that the terrain here is really steep. It would be too difficult to attack by force." Gao Chu, commander of the 9th Division, looked at the map and complained.  "What else can we do if we don't attack by force? Can we still fly to Jin County?" Liu Jianguo said casually.     He does not mean that.  Zhang Xinghan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this and he said: "Hey, we have a solution." "What solution?" Jiang Baili and others gathered around curiously.  "I was reminded of Jianguo's words just now. We will fly over Jin County, bypass the Japanese's first line of defense, and land by air!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Airborne?" Except for Jiang Baili, almost no one else could understand it.  They all looked at each other, confused.  &nbsp; Jiang Baili frowned and said, "Commander, this airborne landing requires professional training. We don't have qualified airborne troops at all." "Then let's hurry up and train." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili shook his head like a rattle and said: "Train now? No, no, there is no time. If you want to train a soldier into a qualified paratrooper, it will take three months to half a year at the earliest, otherwise it will be a disaster if you jump."  "Chief of Staff, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be used. What you are talking about are qualified airborne troops. What we need now is that as long as the soldiers participating in the airborne can master the basics of parachuting, they can open the parachute."  That’s it.” Zhang Xinghan said.  “The proportion of accidents that may occur will be greatly increased, and once an accident occurs in the air, it will destroy the umbrella and kill everyone.” Jiang Baili said.  "I know, but we have no choice. If we carry out a step-by-step frontal attack and fight like this, we may not be able to win Dalian in a month. Moreover, even if we win in the end, the price we have to pay will be  It's extremely tragic." Zhang Xinghan said: "Have you ever thought that if we fail to capture Dalian before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the war situation may reverse instantly, and more people may die by then.  Don't forget, there is an enemy who is not much better than the Japanese. So we can't afford it." "Then we don't have qualified paratrooper instructors to help us train."  "Don't worry about this, I have my own solution." Zhang Xinghan said.  "How long will the commander need to train?" Zhao Zhenfan asked curiously.  "For three days, up to five days, all paratroopers participating in the training must participate in the battle. Airborne to the rear of Jin County, cooperate with the main force to attack from inside and outside, and break through the Japanese defense line of Jin County in one fell swoop. As long as we break through Jin County, then the urban area of ??Dalian will be right in front of us.  All that's left is to besiege Lushun Fortress," Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  "Three days?" Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others all couldn't believe it.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan said decisively: "Time is running out, and I decided to implement this plan immediately. During the few days I leave, all the troops will be temporarily commanded by Uncle Wang, Commander Huang, and the Chief of Staff. "  We must launch appropriate attacks on the Japanese troops in Jin County in order to create the illusion that our army is launching a frontal attack in Jin County, confuse the enemy, and win opportunities for our airborne troops. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili and the other two people responded quickly.  After making up his mind, Zhang Xinghan immediately transferred a thousand elite officers and soldiers with good physical fitness from each division and quickly drove to Jinzhou for the latest chapter of Infinite Flame Breaking.  At the same time, Gao Zhihang was ordered to send a group of air forces to Huludao Airport.  He also ordered Du Ting to escort the 30,000 prisoners to Jinzhou.  Outside Jin County.  The two infantry battalions and one tank armor battalion of the Northeast New Army are ready to attack.  Heavy artillery troops and air force fighter planes are bombing and shelling the Japanese troops in Jin County.  The sound of cannons rumbled throughout Jin County, and the sound of explosions shook the sky.  The sound echoed into the valley and lasted for a long time, scaring all kinds of wild animals in the forest into fleeing in all directions.  Half an hour later, the first batch of bombing and shelling ended one after another.  More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Northeastern New Army in two battalions immediately launched a tidal wave of charges towards the Japanese positions outside Jin County, under the cover of dozens of tanks from a tank battalion.  The Japanese have been operating in Dalian for a long time, and most of Jin County has complete fortifications.  There are tunnels connecting the field defense positions outside the city to the city, and even to the foothills to the east.  A large number of individual bunkers similar to the cat-ear holes later invented by the People's Liberation Army were also excavated and built in the trench fortifications.  The Japanese army is good at digging and building fortifications. It is said that it only takes more than three hours for them to march to a certain place, and they can dig out a set of quite high-quality defense fortifications.  Although there may be some exaggeration, it is undeniable that the level of fortifications built by the Japanese army, whose entire army has undergone formal military training, is far superior to that of the Chinese army at this time.  Of course, the Northeast New Army is an exception, because they are commanded by Zhang Xinghan, a time traveler.  Zhang Xinghan, who has more complete defense capabilities, has already taught his subordinates all the skills of Mao Erdong. Now these fortification digging skills have already penetrated into the grassroots units of the Northeast New Army.  Closer to home, the Japanese have been operating the defense line in Jin County for a long time, and now they are guided by the cunning old devil Okamura Neiji.  This person is less able to accept fresh foodStrong and have strong creative thinking.  Therefore, the Japanese army is fully prepared in the defense line of Jin County and even the entire Dalian, especially how to fight against the invincible tank and armored troops of the Northeast New Army.  Dozens of Panzer IV tanks rumbled along, firing at the Japanese positions from time to time, and the machine gunners were also on alert.  More than a thousand infantrymen followed closely behind the tank group and slowly advanced.  For a while, there was nothing on the battlefield except the rumble of tanks, the footsteps of infantrymen, and the collision of grenades and other equipment while walking.  There was no other sound, especially the Japanese field positions that had just been bombed and shelled. It was so quiet that it was disturbing.  Soon, the attacking troops were less than 200 meters away from the Japanese position, and the tank crews stopped attacking one after another. Past combat experience told them.  We can no longer move forward blindly.  The tank stopped moving forward, but did not shut down, and was ready to fire support at any time.  The infantrymen following the tank group immediately poured out like a tide, making a deafening roar and charging toward the last two hundred meters.  ps: Just saying, dear readers, can you get a monthly pass today?  Even one will do.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 263: Paratrooper Commando

    In the Japanese trenches, hundreds of Japanese soldiers had already emerged from their various fortification bunkers.  At this moment, he was lying cautiously in the trench, waiting for the new Northeastern Army to approach.  As the Northeastern New Army shouted to kill, some Japanese soldiers responsible for covert surveillance and observation immediately issued a warning.  Hundreds of Japanese soldiers immediately stood up and set up various weapons, especially crooked light machine guns. The number exceeded their normal establishment.  Various Japanese weapons opened fire one after another, and dense bullets suddenly poured down like raindrops on the charging Northeastern new officers and soldiers.  Some of the soldiers who rushed to the front were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.  The new officers and soldiers of the Northeast also opened fire, with general-purpose machine guns, submachine guns, and Garand rifles firing one after another.  The machine gunners of the tank battalion behind also quickly opened fire, and the firepower advantage of the Northeast New Army gradually became apparent.  The Japanese casualties began to increase.  “Swish, swish, swish…” The Japanese soldiers threw a dozen cantaloupe grenades with all their strength.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of explosions brought up billowing smoke, and several Northeastern New Army soldiers were unable to escape and died on the spot.  "Bazooka, give me a blast!" a second lieutenant platoon leader shouted at the top of his lungs with his face covered in dust.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several huge explosions sounded in the Japanese trenches, dazzling flames rose from the ground, and several Japanese soldiers were blown out of the trenches.  At this moment, a row of more than a dozen 60mm mortars were urgently set up above Jinxian City.  With the command flag of a Japanese officer waving, more than a dozen mortars fired one after another.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" A series of muffled sounds of shells being ejected came one after another. 俅俅俅俅, more than a dozen small grenades fell towards the charging Northeast New Army offensive troops with piercing screams.  "Boom, boom, boom" The explosion occurred immediately, and a dazzling fire flashed, and many Northeast New Army tactics fell into a pool of blood.  Seeing this, the battalion commander of the tank battalion responsible for covering the rear quickly ordered: "Target city head. Adjust the muzzle and fire for me!" Inside the tank, the tank soldiers began to quickly adjust the angle of the muzzle.  The gun barrels of the dark tanks moved quickly and aimed at the North Gate of Jin County one after another.  "Boomboom" Dozens of 75mm tank guns roared one after another.  Balls of flame flew out from the barrel of the cannon, flying toward the city wall with dazzling firelight.  "Boom. Boom" The artillery shells hit the top of the city, and there was a violent explosion, with flames and billowing black smoke intertwined.  The Japanese artillerymen who were preparing to load grenades and continue the bombardment were suddenly blown up and screamed as they flew down the city.  "Okay, order the troops to withdraw, don't fight to the death." The Northeast New Army was on the attack position.  Zhao Zhenfan, who was responsible for personally commanding the first attack, put down his telescope and said to Chen Feng, the deputy division commander and commander of the first regiment beside him.  Chen Feng immediately handed over to the subordinates next to him, and then said to Zhao Zhenfan: "Master, it seems that the Japanese are well prepared. Our previous shelling and bombing had little effect, and the Japanese actually dare to fight us head-on in a war of attrition."  "The commander and chief of staff have already discussed it. This battle of Dalian must be a fierce battle, and this is just a piece of cake. The next battle will be more brutal and thrilling." Zhao Zhenfan raised the telescope again  , looking at the attacking troops that had retreated like a tide, he said.  "Well, it is not difficult to see from this exploratory attack. The Japanese resistance is quite tenacious. If we continue to fight like this, our casualties will probably be very high." Chen Feng nodded in deep agreement.  ………………………… Lushun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  Okamura Neiji and Hishikari Takashi are discussing around the map to perfect the deployment of defensive operations plan.  This is when Oiso Kuniaki, whose position as Chief of Staff was almost taken away by Neji Okamura, walked in expressionlessly.  Xiang Lingqi Long suddenly closed his feet and saluted: "Your Excellency General, the China Army just launched an attack on the Imperial Army's Jinxian forward position half an hour ago, dispatching tanks and aircraft. However, it has been repelled by the Imperial Army, and the two sides exchanged blows.  There are casualties." Hearing this, Hishikari Takashi looked at Okamura Neiji and nodded: "Yes, the electrified frontline commander, please continue to work hard." After that, Hishikari Takashi said to Okamura Neiji:  "Okamura-kun, how long do you think the imperial army's Jinxian defense line can hold out? Will it be broken by the China Army?" "Under normal circumstances, if no accidents occur, it should be able to hold on for a week or even half a month." Okamura Ning  He said in a calm tone. ?"Nani? We have deployed nearly two divisions of troops in Jin County. Relying on the steep and favorable terrain, can we only hold on for a week?" Hisashi Karitaka was a little surprised, but more disappointed.  "General, although the terrain of Jin County is dangerous, if the Chinese Army attacks with all its strength, we still cannot hold on for too long. Therefore, one or two weeks is the limit." Okamura Neiji said.  "What do you mean, Mr. Okamura? We have an army of 100,000, how can we still not defend Jin County? You know, Jin County is the last barrier of Dalian. If it is lost, your Dalian defense plan will be terminated."  ." Koiso Kuniaki said with dissatisfaction in his voice.  Hishikari Taka also looked at Okamura Neji in confusion and said: "Okamura-kun, can't we use Jin County as a barrier and continue to hold on until reinforcements arrive?" "General, I have always believed that the terrain in Jin County is so dangerous.  , It is not as strong as our Lushun Fortress. The only purpose of holding on to Jin County is to slow down the enemy's offensive and demoralize the enemy. In the end, we relied on the strong fortifications of the Lushun Fortress to wait for reinforcements!  Neji explained.  Hisashi Karutaka nodded slightly as if he had some understanding.  The next morning, the Northeast New Army launched several night attacks on the Japanese positions in Jin County in the past time.  “One of them even captured the Japanese field defense positions, but when they attacked the city defenses again, they failed and were eventually forced to abandon the captured field positions.  After nearly twenty hours of rapid march, Zhang Xinghan led a thousand selected soldiers.  After crossing the Daling River by car, we finally arrived in Jinzhou.  Long before Zhang Xinghan and the others arrived in Jinzhou, Du Ting led his troops to escort more than 30,000 prisoners to Jinzhou last night.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan’s motorcade passed Linghai, they met Du Ting and a squad of soldiers who came to greet them.  "Commander, it's been a hard journey." Du Ting stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan opened the door and got out of the car.  He said: "Why bother? Have you done all the things I told you?" "It's all done, but time is tight. I don't know if it meets your requirements, Commander." Du Ting said.  "Okay, tell me where the location is." Zhang Xinghan said.  "It's in Xingshan Town, west of Jinzhou City." Du Ting said.  "Okay, get in the car quickly. Take us directly." Zhang Xinghan waved and walked into the driveway.  "Yes!" Du Ting also got into a car.  The car started quickly and continued towards Jinzhou.  About an hour later, Du Ting took Zhang Xinghan and the others to their destination.  After getting out of the car, Zhang Xinghan looked around. Du Ting introduced: "Commander, according to local reports, this is the site where Marshal Zhang planned to build an airport. The foundations have been built. For some reason, the airport was moved again."  Huludao, so this place has been abandoned. Local people often dry food here, but now people from humble positions have been placed on guard. No one will come here to harass you until you complete your training.  I won't stay here for too long, three to five days at most. Okay, that's it." Zhang Xinghan patted Du Ting on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back to Jinzhou first and show me which captured soldiers.  Don't let them cause trouble, they will be our new force in the future." "Yes, commander, please rest assured, I promise that there will be no accidents," Du Ting said loudly.  After sending Du Ting away.  While Zhang Xinghan arranged for the officers and soldiers to prepare their own food, he went to a forest and produced the equipment needed to train paratroopers from a multi-function watch.  and the most important equipment such as parachutes, and then sent a group of soldiers to carry it.  These soldiers thought that the equipment and equipment had been prepared in advance.  So there were no questions, and even if they had questions, they didn't dare to ask.  After completing all this, Zhang Xinghan began to conduct emergency training for them.  First, explain to them the theory of skydiving and various matters that need to be paid attention to.  On the same day, a test on fear of heights and other aspects was conducted, and one-tenth of the 1,000 soldiers were eliminated, so they could temporarily serve as logistics.  Zhang Xinghan did not repeat the physical training. These were all selected by him from nearly 100,000 troops, and everyone was the best of the best.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: They are brave in battle, not afraid of death, and dare to try.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan instilled in them theoretical knowledge for three days in a row, and did not lead them until the fourth day.Go to Huludao Air Force Base for a skydiving demonstration.  Of course the demonstrator is Zhang Xinghan himself.  When Zhang Xinghan jumped from an altitude of 1,000 meters while shouting long live the motherland, all the soldiers on the plane let out a cry of surprise.  The hearts were pounding, everyone was shocked, and their hearts were almost in their throats.  But soon they discovered that Zhang Xinghan, who was landing quickly, suddenly opened his parachute.  A parachute bloomed like a flower, and Zhang Xinghan controlled the parachute to land smoothly.  The officers and soldiers were both admired and curious, and some even wanted to give it a try.  That afternoon, Zhang Xinghan organized a small-scale real-life parachute training and selected ten soldiers with outstanding performance to make their first parachute jump.  Although the time was short and the danger was great, Zhang Xinghan knew that he had to take the risk and only ten people succeeded.  Only other soldiers can really dare to jump, so even if there are casualties, Zhang Xinghan cannot estimate that there will be so many.  "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you remember the essentials I gave you and open the parachute in time, you will be fine." On a C47 transport plane, Zhang Xinghan said to the first soldier preparing to parachute.  A final cheer.  His name is Wang Longxiang, a veteran of the Northeastern New Army who has experienced many battles.  "Yeah." Wang Longxiang looked at the sky outside the airport, took a few deep breaths, and nodded.  "Okay, get ready to jump. Remember, recite five times silently in your mind, and then open the parachute immediately, do you understand?" Zhang Xinghan gave final instructions.  "Understood!" Wang Longxiang responded loudly, as if to embolden himself.  "3,2,1, jump!" At Zhang Xinghan's order, Wang Longxiangyi jumped out of the cabin without hesitation, carrying a parachute.  "But seeing that he had been jumping for more than five seconds, but still delayed in opening the parachute, Zhang Xinghan and other soldiers in the cabin couldn't help but sweat for him.  The height of this jump was not very high. If Wang Longxiang did not open his parachute, he might be doomed.  Finally, under the expectation of everyone, Wang Longxiang opened the parachute at the last moment, but the momentum of his rapid fall was blocked by the parachute.  Wang Longxiang dared to open his eyes and saw himself slowly falling downwards. Wang Longxiang, who was a little nervous at first, felt very excited in the end and couldn't help shouting loudly.  On the plane, Zhang Xinghan and the soldiers were already cheering.  "Well done, Wang Longxiang has succeeded. Brothers, remember, don't be nervous, remember the techniques I told you. Let's get started. You will be the first paratrooper unit of our Chinese nation, unique in the world." Zhang Xinghan encouraged.  Encouraged by Zhang Xinghan, the other nine paratroopers jumped off one after another, and umbrella flowers bloomed in the air.  With Zhang Xinghan’s personal demonstration and the encouragement of Wang Longxiang’s successful precedent, they all succeeded.  Zhang Xinghan finally spent more than a week in Huludao and Jinzhou, and finally trained more than 800 skirmishers who successfully parachuted.  In an office at Huludao Airport, Guo Zhong held a telegram and reported to him: "Commander, in the past seven days, our army has launched a total of 28 attacks on the Japanese troops in Jin County, and both sides suffered casualties." "  Well." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, send a message to the chief of staff. I will personally lead the paratrooper task force to land in Dalian early tomorrow morning and ask them to launch a surprise attack on Jin County from behind.  Attack fiercely to attract the enemy's attention." "Yes!" Guo Zhong stepped forward and said with concern: "Commander, you must take care of yourself." "Well, don't worry." Zhang Xinghan gave him a look.  Smile.  After Guo Zhong took the order and left, Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and felt that the weapons of the paratrooper task force seemed a bit backward, so he took out his multi-function watch and exchanged it for a new submachine gun for the paratroopers.  It is the mp38 submachine gun that is much more advanced than the mp18. Regardless of range and ammunition capacity, the latter is much better than the former.  PS: This chapter has 4,000 words.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 264: I will die and the country will survive

    "俅俅俅俅" Aerial bombs fell from the magazine one after another, and their bodies fell towards Jinxian County below.  The Kwantung Army’s troops deployed in Jin County are dominated by the 20th Division, which was slightly intact in previous battles, and are additionally equipped with three infantry regiments and several artillery squadrons.  During the September 18th Incident, most of the 20th Division went to Shenyang to participate in the battle against the resistance army led by Zhang Xinghan.  "One of the brigade was sent to fight in Heilongjiang and later returned to North Korea, so relatively speaking, the organization is still intact.  After the main force of the 20th Division was wiped out, it was reorganized based on the brigade that stayed in North Korea.  Therefore, the number of veterans and combat effectiveness of the 20th Division are among the best among the Japanese Kwantung Army today.  Kodera Dacheng is a squadron leader of the 80th Infantry Regiment of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army.  At the beginning of the war, his unit was fortunate enough to be transferred to the division headquarters located in a dense forest in Daheishan Mountain to serve as a security guard.  Xiaosi Dacheng stood on a rock, holding a telescope and looking at the Jinxian battlefield not far away.  There were fighter planes from the Northeast Air Force circling and bombing in the sky, and artillery from the Northeast New Army was bombarding the opposite side. There were explosions everywhere in Jin County.  Standing next to Xiao Si Dacheng was a Japanese serviceman, carrying a march map and other items.  After watching for a while, Kodera Dacheng put down the telescope in frustration, jumped off the rock, and said: "The Chinese people are so disgusting. The imperial army actually lost air supremacy in Manchuria. It is unimaginable." As soon as Xiaodera Dacheng finished speaking, the sky  Suddenly there was a deafening roar of airplane engines.  When I looked up, I saw countless planes emerging from the clouds.  Xiao Si Dacheng was an experienced man and he quickly threw himself under the rock while shouting: "Lie down, hurry up! The Chinese are attacking from the air." The Japanese soldiers near Xiao Si Dacheng hurriedly lay down to avoid it.  But after a while, no aerial bomb exploded.  Surprised, Xiao Si Dacheng raised his head and looked up at the sky.  I saw white waves appearing in the sky at some point.  Throughout World War II.  The Japanese have few records of using paratroopers in combat.  In history, the Soviet Union was the first to form a paratrooper force. It was just established in 1930, three years ago. It was still small in scale and had limited combat effectiveness.  The real large-scale use of paratroopers in combat was the United States and Germany during World War II. Of course, the Soviet Union was also in this category at the end of the war.  So in the 1930s, ordinary middle-level and junior officers and soldiers of the Japanese army may not even know about the paratroopers, because they did not learn relevant knowledge in military schools and the army.  Kodera Dacheng was obviously one of these people. He looked up at the sky in confusion.  He asked: "What kind of work?" The orderly lying not far away from him raised his neck and looked at it, and shook his head to express his ignorance.  Soon, Xiaosi Dacheng discovered that those "waves" had landed in the sorghum fields on the plains at the foot of the mountains in the distance.  Zhang Xinghan and several paratroopers landed almost at the same time. After pulling out his dagger and cutting the parachute rope, Zhang Xinghan immediately fired a white flare into the sky.  Not long after, seven or eight paratroopers who landed within one kilometer of him rushed over carrying the latest MP38 submachine guns Zhang Xinghan had equipped them.  Zhang Xinghan also had an MP38 slung around his neck. He waved his hands to several soldiers and said, "Two of you go and be careful. When everyone arrives, we will set off and rush directly to Jinxian to poke the little devil in the asshole."  Go." The two soldiers quickly dispersed with submachine guns in hand, while several other soldiers stayed beside Zhang Xinghan.  And at the same time.  Kodera Daisei said in confusion: "Xiaoxin-kun, please immediately notify the 4th team to send a squad to investigate at the foot of the mountain." "Hai." The Japanese orderly named Xiaoxin Hyōtaro suddenly lowered his head in response and followed the order.  “About ten minutes later, a dozen Japanese soldiers were holding 38 rifles.  In groups of three, we came to the sorghum fields at the foot of the mountain with vigilance.  The sorghum field was quiet, without any movement.  A Japanese corps commander waved his hand.  Indicates to move on.  Twelve Japanese soldiers entered the sorghum field one after another. However, before they could get very far, a dozen Northeastern Army paratroopers suddenly jumped out of the sorghum bushes.  The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh was heard one after another, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed one after another without even having a chance to shoot.  "Commander, everything has been done." Wang Longxiang, who had been temporarily promoted to the captain of the paratrooper task force by Zhang Xinghan, crouched like a cheetah and ran to Zhang Xinghan's side to report.  &nbsp; "Well, are the troops almost assembled?" Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked.  "Except for a few brothers who failed to open their parachutes and fell into the sea, the rest are all here." A trace of sadness flashed in Wang Longxiang's eyes.  Zhang Xinghan patted Wang Longxiang on the shoulder and comforted: "The brothers who sacrificed themselves are all good people. As soldiers, at this time of national crisis and the survival of the nation, we should be prepared to die for the country. We will die for the survival of the country."  "What a blessing." After comforting and encouraging the eight hundred paratroopers, Zhang Xinghan led them toward Jin County along the endless sorghum fields.  After half an hour, Kodera Dacheng personally led the main force of the 4th team down the mountain and found the bodies of his companions in the sorghum field without any return.  Xiaosi Dacheng immediately said angrily: "Bagaya Road, it's not good, it's a Chinese, the Chinese have sneaked in, report to the division headquarters immediately, hurry up!" However, Xiaosi Dacheng discovered it too late, Zhang Xinghan led  Eight hundred elite soldiers have reached the south outside of Jin County.  The main force and attention of the Japanese army in the city were attracted by the fierce battle in the north of the city.  The south gate was wide open, with only a few Japanese soldiers standing guard, and not even a light or heavy machine gun on top of the city.  From time to time, Japanese cars would come in and out, transporting the wounded and ammunition supplies.  Zhang Xinghan looked at his watch and said to Wang Longxiang, let the communications corps send power to the chief of staff and the others, and immediately launch a general attack on Jin County. We will break into the city from behind to provide support.  "Yes," Wang Longxiang nodded and took the order to leave.  ??????…????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away. At the same time, the fierce fighting in the north of the city continued.  In the temporary general headquarters of the Northeast New Army, the chief of staff took the message from the communications corps, opened it, and said to Huang Xiansheng and others: "Everyone, the commander is in place, and the general offensive can begin." "Great, then let's do it.  Give the order." Huang Xiansheng said happily.  "Well, let's attack." Jiang Baili said.  The order was quickly issued, and the attacking troops suspended their attack and retreated.  The powerful artillery group consisting of three heavy artillery brigades, six 105 howitzer regiments, and hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces that had been prepared for a long time immediately opened fire.  Hundreds of artillery shells hit the Japanese army's positions outside the city and the northern area of ????Jinxian County with a whistling sound.  Earth-shaking explosions suddenly sounded one after another, and there were seas of fire and thick smoke everywhere in the north of the city.  In the south of the city, Zhang Xinghan stood up suddenly and said: "Brothers, take Jin County and avenge the sacrifices. Charge." "Charge! Kill!" Wang Longxiang led dozens of paratroopers and rushed out of the sorghum field.  The few Japanese soldiers standing guard at the city gate were knocked to the ground by the dense rain of bullets before they could react.  "Da da da" The crisp gunshots unique to MP38 suddenly sounded.  Under the personal leadership of Zhang Xinghan, more than 800 elite paratroopers rushed out of the sorghum field and swarmed into the city like a flood.  By the time the Japs in the city reacted, the south gate had been occupied by paratroopers led by Zhang Xinghan.  Dozens of scattered Japanese soldiers were easily eliminated by them.  "Commander, what should we do? Continue the attack?" Wang Longxiang came to Zhang Xinghan and asked.  "We must continue to attack, but you and I have to divide our forces into two groups. Remember, keep attacking north. As long as we meet our siege troops, we will win." Zhang Xinghan ordered: "In this way, you and I will each  He led four hundred men to attack from the east and west directions. "Yes." Wang Longxiang immediately took the order and left with four hundred soldiers.  Zhang Xinghan also led 400 soldiers to continue attacking from the opposite direction.  ……………………………… Lushun Fortress, Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  A Japanese communications officer wearing black leather boots and holding a message in his hand hurriedly came to the war room.  He saluted Hisashi Karitaka and others: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, that the 20th Division found traces of the Chinese Army in the rear of Jin County." "What? Behind Jin County? China people?" His Majesty's color suddenly changed after hearing this.  Okamura Neji and Koiso Kuniaki were also shocked when they heard this and looked sideways.  "What's going on?" Hisashi Karutaka asked loudly.  "The 20th Division reported that the Chinese may have landed from the air." the Japanese officer replied.  "Landing from the air?" Hishikari Takashi was confused and turned to look at Okamura Neji and Koiso Kuniaki.  Okamura Neji lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said in shock: "Could it be paratroopers airborne?" "Umbrellas?Airborne?  What kind of work?  Hisashi Karitaka asked in confusion. "It is to use a parachute to land from a high altitude and then airborne to the enemy's rear for special operations. It is an emerging military unit. It is said that the Russians have already formed such a unit.  "Neiji Okamura briefly introduced. "The Northeastern New Army actually mastered the paratrooper airborne technology and has airborne troops?  "Oiso Kuniaki said with a look of disbelief. "It seems so.  "Okamura Neji nodded thoughtfully. "Then Okamura-kun, tell me, how should we deal with it?  "Ling Qianlong asked anxiously. "Order the garrison troops of Lushun Fortress to be vigilant and close all entrances and exits immediately.  At the same time, the Jinxian defense force was immediately ordered to take strict precautions to prevent the enemy from sneak attack. I hope it's not too late.  "Okamura Ningji said. Hishikari Taka said to the Japanese officer: "Do as General Okamura said, quickly.  " ps: I went to practice driving during the day today. I have been enrolled in the driving school for more than half a year, but I haven't had the chance to take the test. I didn't have much status when I came back in the evening. That's all for today. If I don't go tomorrow, I'll make up for it with an extra update. (To be continued  …

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 265: Attack on Dalian

    Zhang Xinghan led more than 400 paratroopers to advance rapidly from the south to the north of the city.  At this time, some of the Japanese troops in the city had received the warning from the south gate and began to counterattack towards the south gate.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops less than 200 meters forward when he spotted a group of heavily armed Japanese troops approaching head-on along the street.  When the two sides were still three to four hundred meters apart, they opened fire one after another.  Of course, at this distance, the hit rate of rifles and pistols is negligible.  "Brothers, come with me. The decisive battle is here. If you don't win, you will die. Kill!" Zhang Xinghan held a gun in one hand, raised his arms and shouted.  Hundreds of officers and soldiers suddenly became excited and attacked the front without fear of death.  As the distance approached, the firepower began to become intensive, and the firepower advantage of the Northeast New Army gradually became apparent.  Dozens of submachine guns constituted a powerful and intensive assault firepower, which inflicted heavy losses on a Japanese squadron that came to attack, and they all fell down after being hit by bullets.  Within less than five minutes of the exchange of fire between the two sides, more than half of the nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers were killed or injured, and the rest fled in a hurry.  Zhang Xinghan led his team to pursue the enemy and beat up the drowned dog.  At the same time, Wang Longxiang's troops also defeated the resistance of a small group of Japanese troops and advanced smoothly.  The main reason is that the main forces of the Japanese army are deployed in the northern area of ????the city, while the southern part of the city belongs to the rear safety area, and the military strength is very weak.  After the 20th Division Headquarters received instructions from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Northeast New Army's artillery bombardment had ended. Thousands of Northeast New Army infantrymen, under the cover of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, attacked the Japanese army.  The defense line in the north of the city launched a full-scale attack.  Since the main force of the Japanese army could not be mobilized, the headquarters of the 20th Division immediately mobilized security troops from the Dongcheng District of Xicheng City to intercept and resist the Northeastern New Army that broke into the city.  But it was too late. Zhang Xinghan and Wang Longxiang led their troops to attack at full speed and quickly passed through the central city.  The attack reached the rear of the Japanese defense line in the north of the city.  Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army’s attention was attracted by the fighting outside the city, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Longxiang immediately launched an attack on the city.  A large number of Japanese soldiers near the city wall were caught off guard. Under the sudden attack of intensive firepower, they suddenly fell in pieces like wheat.  At the same time, the Japanese defensive positions outside the city were also broken through by the Northeast New Army's infantry and tanks coordinated attacks.  The Japanese outside the city retreated one after another.  The Northeastern New Army took advantage of the situation to capture their position and then directly attacked the city wall.  Under the attack from the front and rear by the Northeastern New Army, the Japanese army was attacked from both sides and retreated due to excessive casualties in less than half an hour of fierce fighting.  At the same time, the tanks of the Northeast New Army had broken through the city gate and entered the city to join Zhang Xinghan's paratrooper commando team.  During the time when Zhang Xinghan and others attacked the city wall.  The Japanese from east to west have arrived.  Zhang Xinghan assigned two hundred troops to Wang Longxiang and asked him to rely on more than a dozen courtyards on both sides of the street to resist desperately.  Although the number of Japs was large, they were unable to break through Wang Longxiang's blockade in time due to the terrain restrictions in the city.  In the end, the Northeastern New Army successfully broke through the Japanese defense line and entered the city with the tanks.  Zhang Xinghan immediately understood that the troops would launch a counterattack against the Japanese.  Wang Longxiang led more than a hundred surviving paratroopers to take the lead, and the Japanese armed with MP38 submachine guns were retreating steadily.  More and more Northeastern New Army soldiers poured into the city like a tide.  Climbed to the top of the city.  began to launch the final attack on the entire city of Jin County.  At this point, the battle of Jin County has no suspense.  After more than five hours of fierce fighting from morning to afternoon, the Northeastern New Army finally cleared the Japs in the city, and the remaining troops fled out of the city and retreated towards Dalian city.  Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered his troops to pursue the situation non-stop, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers launched an attack on the urban area of ??Dalian.  ………… Inside Lushun Fortress, Kwantung Army Headquarters.  A Japanese communications staff officer stood up and saluted Hisashi Karutaka and others: "Report to your Excellency, Commander. The 20th Division reported that Jin County has been captured by the Chinese Army. The 20th Division has suffered heavy losses. The remaining troops have retreated to Dalian City, but  The Chinese army has also followed. "Currently, the two sides are fighting fiercely in the urban area of ??Dalian." The expressions of Hisashi Karitaka, Koiso Kuniaki, Okamura Ningji and others changed when they heard this.  Okamura Neiji immediately said to Hisashi Karitaka: "General, it seems that we were negligent in the battle of Jinxian. No one thought that Zhang Xinghan actually had a paratrooper unit." "Then what should we do next? Jinxian was lost.  Is it too fast?" Hisashi Karutaka asked upset.  "In fact, if you include the time when the Chinese Army first started attacking, Jin County did block the enemy's attack for a week, although it was faster than expected. But everything is still within control." Okamura Ning  turn to wallThe battle map said: "Notify the 20th Division and the 114th Division stationed in the urban area to rely on the urban area and do their best to block the offensive edge of the Northeast New Army. We must persist for at least three days. After three days, we will rely on the fortress and the Chinese  Fight to the end." "Quickly, do as Okamura-kun says," Hisashikari Takashi waved to the communications staff officer behind him.  …………………… “Commander, the 1st Division has entered the urban area of ??Dalian and is currently fighting fiercely with the Japanese army. The 2nd Division and the 3rd Division are also attacking from the side.” In Jin County City, a place was temporarily blocked.  In the courtyard of the headquarters, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghanhui.  "Tell the divisions on the front line to capture Dalian City as much as possible before dawn tomorrow and surround Lushun Fortress." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, there is not much time left before dark. Once dark, the soldiers' sight will be blocked and it will be difficult to distinguish the enemy's and our own troops from attacking." Jiang Baili said.  "We can't see clearly, and the little devils can't even see clearly. In order to prevent harm to the people in the attack on the urban area of ??Dalian, the air force fighter planes cannot provide sufficient assistance. Therefore, the attack is the same during the day and at night, and the responsibility lies with the infantry.  Don't count on the air force and artillery. "Clearly instruct the attacking troops not to have any scruples and just charge hard. It's not us who are afraid of chaos, but the Japanese." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes." Jiang Baili accepted the order happily.  “In addition, inform the 4th, 9th, 10th and artillery brigade tank regiments to take time to rest. The next attack on Lushun Fortress will be a real tough battle!” Zhang Xinghan suddenly added.  "Okay, I will make arrangements right away." Jiang Baili nodded and then left.  ……………………………… Vladivostok, Soviet Far East Command.  A Soviet communications officer respectfully placed a piece of telegram on Blucher's desk, then bowed his head and left.  With a cigar in his mouth, Bluher leaned on the bearskin chair and slowly opened the message and read it. His pupils suddenly widened and the cigar in his mouth quietly fell.  Blyucher stood up suddenly, unable to restrain his excitement and shouted outside: "Commander, hurry up and notify the division commanders to come for a meeting." ps: I'm sorry, I'm still in no condition today, I can't write, and I don't want to.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 266: Renewal of Border Troubles

    Qiqihar, the headquarters of the 5th Independent Division of the Northeastern New Army.  Liu Guodong, commander of the Fifth Division, is listening to a report from deputy division commander Wu Chengfeng.  With the exception of the 1st regiment and the directly affiliated tank regiment stationed in Qiqihar City, the remaining troops of the 5th Independent Division are stationed in key counties around Qiqihar to assist the local military police in managing the local area.  During this period, Wu Chengfeng, on behalf of Liu Guodong, inspected various troop locations of the Independent 5th Division and had just returned.  While the two were narrating, a communications soldier ran in in a panic and said before saluting: "Master's seat, deputy commander's seat, urgent report from Manzhouli." "What?" Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng were shocked.  "What's going on?" Wu Chengfeng asked.  "The Independent 8th Division sent an urgent telegram for help. This morning, the Soviet army suddenly crossed the border and launched an attack on our Manzhouli garrison. They used an amazing number of tanks and aircraft. Zhang Shixian, commander of the Independent 8th Division, happened to arrive from Hailar to Manzhouli to inspect the border defense.  Unfortunately, he was hit by a Soviet tank shell and died on the spot. Now that Manchuria has been surrounded by the Soviet army, the Soviet army has rushed towards Hailar and other places. The deputy commander of the 8th Independent Division, Li Dajun, is leading his troops to defend Manzhouli.  It's extremely critical and we need reinforcements urgently," the communications soldier said.  "Mr. Zhang died?" Wu Chengfeng and Liu Guodong looked horrified.  "Master, what should we do?" Wu Chengfeng turned around and asked anxiously.  Liu Guodong pondered for a while and said: "Cheng Feng, we will report the situation to the commander-in-chief immediately." "I agree, but the situation in Manchuria is critical, and the commander-in-chief is thousands of miles away, beyond reach. I think we should send troops immediately to help Manchuria.  "Wu Chengfeng said.  "I estimate that the Soviet army will attack suddenly this time. It will definitely not attack from Manchuria alone, and the old man in Vladivostok will definitely dispatch the Time Rangers. We also need to quickly notify the 6th and 7th Independent Divisions to be vigilant, just in case.  ." Liu Guodong just finished speaking.  Another communications soldier walked in hurriedly, saluted and reported: "Commander, there is an urgent call from Heihe and Jiamusi." "What's going on?" Liu Guodong asked.  "The Soviet army is crossing the river to attack again. The entire Heilongjiang defense line is in emergency." The communications soldier read quickly.  "However, the 6th and 7th Divisions are currently on full defense with the assistance of the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and have urgently sent a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief. The purpose of the call is to remind us and the Independent 8th Division to pay attention to the Soviet attack from the Manchuria border." Liu Guodong  He looked at Wu Chengfeng and waved to the two communications soldiers, signaling them to leave.  After the communications troops left.  Liu Guodong said to Wu Chengfeng: "Chengfeng, in this way, you will first lead the 1st regiment and the tank regiment to join the 3rd Tank Division of the Armored Group Army in Hailar, hold Hailar and curb the Soviet offensive momentum. I immediately ordered the 2nd Regiment, 3rd Regiment and other places  The police and military police units gathered to fight against the Soviet Union! " "Yes!" Wu Chengfeng immediately took the order.  After saluting, he turned and left.  ????………… Manzhouli, at this moment, the war is raging and the cannons are rumbling.  The whole of Manchuria was shrouded in thick smoke.  Thousands of Soviet infantrymen, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, are attacking the Northeast New Army defense line stationed in Manchuria from all directions.  The two sides launched an intensive exchange of firepower, and the entire battlefield was filled with gunshots, shouts of death, and explosions that were deafening.  Because the division commander Zhang Shixian was unfortunately hit by an artillery shell, the command of the Independent 8th Division has been taken over by deputy division commander Li Dajun.  "Deputy commander, Lao Maozi broke through the position of our first company from the south. More than a hundred brothers in the whole company are dead." An officer ran to Li Dajun with a dusty face and reported.  "Organize a counterattack immediately and regain the position for me, otherwise I will shoot you." Li Dajun said angrily.  "But, Deputy Commander, Lao Maozi has dispatched too many troops this time. They have surrounded Manchuria. Can we still hold on until reinforcements arrive?" The officer's belief was somewhat shaken.  "Don't talk so much nonsense. Isn't it just death anyway? Even if the whole division is killed in battle, we can't surrender. We can't embarrass the Chinese soldiers." Li Dajun also roared with some despair.  "Deputy division seat. Deputy division seat, call back from the 5th Division." A communications soldier ran out from the division headquarters and shouted.  "What did the message say?" Li Dajun asked hurriedly.  The communications soldier replied: "The 5th Division said that Deputy Commander Wu Chengfeng and Wu have personally led the reinforcements to leave. I hope we will stick to the end. They will arrive as soon as possible." "Okay, I understand." Li Dajun waved to the communications soldier.  .  After the communications soldier took the order and left, Li Dajun said to the officer:"Batalion Commander Sun, I order you to organize your troops immediately and retake the lost positions at all costs. Otherwise, come and see us!" "Yes!" The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander surnamed Sun agreed loudly, turned around and took the order to leave.  Dalian front line, Jin County Northeast New Army Headquarters.  "Commander, take a look at this." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili frowned and placed the two messages in front of Zhang Xinghan.  "What is this?" Zhang Xinghan asked doubtfully about the happy life of an adulterous concubine and a factory flower.  "This morning the Soviet army suddenly launched another attack on our border defense line from the east and west directions. This is an emergency telegram sent by the border defense forces." Jiang Baili said.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly picked up a telegram and asked while reading: "How is the situation?" "The situation along the eastern defense line along the river is not bad, but in the direction of Hulunbuir, the commander of the Independent 8th Division Zhang Shixian unfortunately died for his country, and the situation is more critical.  ." Jiang Baili said solemnly.  Zhang Xinghan put down the message in his hand and said: "It seems that Lao Maozi is clearly prepared this time. He really knows how to choose the right time." "Commander, what should we do? The main force has been invested in attacking Dalian, and the battle against Lushun Fortress has also begun.  At this time, the Soviets obviously want to take revenge for the last time." Jiang Baili said.  "Dalian must be captured. If we miss today, we don't know how many years and months it will take in the future. And if we don't capture Dalian, there will be endless troubles. If we go north to fight against the Soviet Union, the Japanese will stab us in the back. With the Soviets in a double attack,  Just being tired can bring down our army, so Dalian must fight to the death," Zhang Xinghan said resolutely.  "What about Northern Manchuria? We have less than 100,000 troops, and I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the enemy out of the country." Jiang Baili said.  "To generate electricity for Liu Guodong and the others, we don't need to rigidly defend the national border. We must use tactics flexibly to let the enemy go deeper, trade space for time, and disperse the enemy's forces. Organize local people and police to coordinate with the troops to use various dangerous terrain passes to fight against each other. " Half the time at the latest  In a few months, our main force will be able to go north for reinforcements!" Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Okay, I'll power them right away." …………………… Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters.  "General, good news, our diplomats have forwarded the news that the Soviets have attacked Northern Manchuria." Koiso Kuniaki said excitedly, holding a piece of paper in his hand.  "Nani? The Soviets have begun to attack Northern Manchuria?" Hishikari Takashi was surprised and said: "What's going on? Aren't the Soviets unwilling to cooperate with us to deal with the new Northeastern Army?" Okamura Neiji is here  Said aside: "Your Excellency General, one moment and another, now we have been fighting with the Northeastern New Army for several months, and both sides are almost exhausted. It is reasonable for the Soviets to choose to send troops at this time.  "Yes." Oiso Kuniaki rarely agreed with Okamura Neiji and nodded: "According to intelligence, the Soviets have assembled more than 500,000 troops in the Far East this time, with nearly a thousand tanks and combat vehicles.  There are thousands of artillery pieces and more than 500 aircraft. It seems that they are determined to take revenge and capture Beiman." Hearing this, Hisashi Garataka immediately smiled and nodded: "Yo Xi, so to speak, the Northeast is new.  The army is attacked from both sides, so it should be an excellent opportunity for us to make a comeback, right?" Okamura Neiji then said: "What the general said is true, if the Soviet army can really capture the entire northern Manchuria, then the foundation of the new Northeastern Army will be lost.  "Our reinforcements should have arrived by then. If we take advantage of the situation to counterattack, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and retake the southern Manchuria area." "However, these all establish that we must withstand China before Northern Manchuria is captured by the Soviet army and our reinforcements arrive.  We must defend the Lushun Fortress against the enemy's attack, otherwise it will all be empty talk." Hisashi Karutaka stood up confidently and said: "We still have 100,000 troops. If we cannot defend the Lushun Fortress, you and I should commit suicide to show mercy to His Majesty the Emperor.  Apologize." (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 267 The Air Force is dispatched

    In urban Dalian, intensive gunfire echoed in the streets and alleys.  A group of Northeastern New Army soldiers, under the cover of their own tanks and rocket soldiers, easily destroyed a Japanese barricade. Read the full text of "The Secret Desire of the Rich: Leng Xiao's Palm".  The tank took the lead and crossed the barricade that was blown to pieces, crushing the sacks filled with sediment to pieces.  Immediately, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed over with steel guns in their hands and howling.  “Thud, tug, tug… da da da…” On the rooftops of private houses on both sides of the road, which was not a crossroads, a group of Japanese light and heavy machine guns were roaring.  The dense rain of bullets formed a crossfire network and blocked the road to the south of the city.  Several new Northeastern troops charged forcefully, and were shot and fell to the ground one after another, dying on the spot.  A major officer stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates from continuing to charge. He waved his hand and said: "Rocket soldiers, give it to me. The others will cover with full firepower."  They all opened fire.  Using machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns, they launched a tenacious exchange of fire with the Japanese.  Several rocket soldiers took advantage of their own fire cover, carried Bazooka on their backs, and with the help of their companions, quickly climbed onto the roof of the north side of the intersection.  Before the Japanese found them, they took aim.  "Boomboom" Several bazookas opened fire one after another, and you could clearly see a streak of white smoke roaring towards the opposite roof.  "Boomboom" Several light and heavy machine gun positions set up by the Japanese on the roof of the building immediately exploded, and flames filled the sky.  Three Japanese soldiers howled and were blown away and fell down. The rest were all killed or injured by the explosion on the spot.  Seeing this, the Northeastern New Army troops outside the intersection roared for a short time and swarmed forward.  The grenade was thrown onto the roof of the two-story building, and the roof exploded again.  Several Japanese soldiers who were still alive immediately met the King of Hell.  The entire urban area of ??Dalian was reduced to a pot of porridge.  There were sounds of gunfire, explosions and shouts of kill from officers and soldiers everywhere.  Thick smoke filled the whole city, and the sky was a little dark.  However, the Northeastern New Army, which had superior strength and firepower, launched a fierce attack continuously for nearly a day and night.  Two-thirds of Dalian's urban area has been captured.  The remaining Japanese troops are about to be driven out of Dalian city.  The next morning, it was March 15th, the 22nd year of the Republic of China.  The Northeastern New Army severely damaged the Japanese army in Dalian city, and the entire city of Dalian was recovered.  Immediately, Zhang Xinghan ordered the three flight regiments of the Northeast New Army that had been on standby at Huludao and Shenyang Airport for a long time, and hundreds of fighter jets and bombers came out.  In more than half an hour.  They successively flew over the Lushun Fortress and launched a strategic bombing of the Lushun Fortress and the military port.  In the urban area of ??Dalian, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others entered the city of Dalian in a jeep, welcomed by a large number of Dalian people.  The people rejoiced and shouted long live the Northeast New Army and long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang.  There was an unprecedented grand occasion in the city.  At the Lushun Fortress, which is about 40 kilometers away from Dalian city, the air defense sirens sounded urgent and harsh.  The Japanese anti-aircraft firepower on the ground was in full swing, and the sky was filled with explosions of anti-aircraft shells like fireworks and tongues of flame from anti-aircraft machine guns like chains of fire.  At an altitude of about two thousand meters, nearly a hundred He111 medium bombers of the Northeast New Army began high-altitude bombing.  "The large aerial bombs of different weights fell in free fall with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound. Read the full text of My Best Lady.  Soon, an aerial bomb fell into the Lushun Fortress, and a huge explosion occurred. Looking down from a high altitude.  You can clearly see the huge fire and the mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.  The New Northeast Army's bombing target is very clear. It will first use medium-sized bombers to conduct relatively safe high-altitude bombing, and then cause certain damage to the Japanese ground air defense firepower.  ?Then the Zero fighter group and the BF109 fighter group cover the Stuka dive bombers, which are powerful weapons for ground attack, to conduct medium and low-altitude dive air strikes.  Conduct accurate bombing and targeted removal of Japanese air defense positions, Tibetan military fortresses, barracks and other fortifications and infrastructure. ? Clear obstacles and reduce resistance as much as possible for the infantry attack.  Zhang Xinghua has accumulated military exploits and been promoted to a fighter squadron leader. At this moment, he is driving a Zero fighter and two wingmen, jointly clearing the way for a Stuka dive bomber.  A well-hidden Japanese air defense position suddenly opened fire.  Several anti-aircraft machine guns fired dense rains of anti-aircraft bullets.  Bullets were flying like raindrops, Zhang Xinghua quickly took controlThe aircraft dodges, rolls, and flies sideways, a series of actions that are coherent and skillful.  Easily dodged the Japanese anti-aircraft fire.  Then the control gun began to fight back. Two 20mm machine guns and two caliber machine gun firepower was fully opened.  The rain of bullets formed four dense tongues of flames and rushed toward the Japanese air defense positions.  The dense rain of bullets suddenly hit the Japanese air defense position, and smoke rose up. More than a dozen Japanese air defense soldiers who could not escape fell down one after another.  As the three Zeros flew by, the Stuka's magazine immediately opened, and two small aerial bombs weighing tens of kilograms accurately landed on the Japanese air defense position.  A violent explosion suddenly broke out. In the explosion, several Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns and their ammunition were all reduced to ashes.  In a secret underground bunker in the Lushun Fortress, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army had moved here before the fall of Dalian.  Since there are explosions on the ground from time to time, dust keeps falling from the Japanese headquarters.  Hishikari Takashi, Koiso Kuniaki, Okamura Neji and others all sat in silence at the conference table with solemn expressions. Only the lamp hanging on the table kept shaking and creaking due to the vibration of the ground.  sound.  "Okamura-kun, the Chinese air force went crazy and carried out air raids and bombings on the imperial army in the Port Arthur Fortress. The situation seems not to be optimistic." Koiso Kuniaki saw that neither Hisashikaritaka nor Okamura Neji spoke, and faced Okamura  Neji said, breaking the silence.  "The chief of staff is overly worried. The battle has not yet begun. It is delusional for the Chinese to win this battle with only aerial bombing. Moreover, the most important thing is that the Soviets have already launched an attack on their rear. I believe that their  The attack will never last too long," Okamura Neiji said confidently.  Dalian City, the newly relocated pre-war headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  "Chief of Staff, how is the situation in each division?" Zhang Xinghan asked while standing in front of the map and smoking a cigarette.  Jiang Baili, who had just finished answering the phone, put down the phone and replied: "I just finished talking to each division on the phone. They have all arrived at the designated positions. According to your arrangement, commander, all the air force will carry out bombing today and tomorrow. All infantry divisions should seize the time."  Rest, replenish ammunition and restore your mental and physical strength, and launch a formal attack on Lushun Fortress the day after tomorrow." (To be continued.

    After listening to Jiang Baili's report, Zhang Xinghan nodded: "Well, don't forget to tell Gao Zhihang that after the first round of conventional bombing, the bombers will all be equipped with poison gas bombs and napalm bombs. I will turn the Lushun Fortress into a sea of ??flames.  The little devils who were hiding inside were forced out like rats. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili agreed loudly.  After nightfall, the Northeastern New Army’s bombardment of the Lushun Fortress finally ended for half a day.  The Japanese soldiers, who had been hiding like mice for a long time, began to come out to clean up the mess. The entire fortress was full of huge craters, blown-up air defense positions and fortification bunkers.  Okamura Nejiya, Hishikari Takashi and others walked out of the underground bunker one after another, and began to inspect various units accompanied by a group of guards.  "How are you, Okamura-kun? Are our casualties heavy?" Hishikari Takashi asked as he walked.  "Fortunately, it's not too big. However, our battle losses today are basically from the air defense force. In other words, if this continues, our air defense force will become weaker and weaker. By then, the China Army's  The air force fighter planes can bomb us unscrupulously, and our casualties may increase." Okamura Neiji frowned slightly.  "We must find ways to reduce the losses of the air defense forces and maintain the deterrence and containment of the China Air Force." Hishikar Takashi immediately instructed.  "Hai, don't worry, General, I will definitely come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." Okamura Neiji nodded happily.  ???????????While the main force of the Northeast New Army is preparing to attack Dalian with all its strength, it is on the battlefield of the North Manchuria border defense line.  On the Eastern Front battlefield, due to the close cooperation between the independent 67th Division and local armed forces, such as the police and military police, Green Forest Volunteer Bandits and local people.  Temporarily guarding the key strategic points of Heilongjiang's natural dangers blocked Lao Maozi's eastern offensive troops in Heilongjiang.  The situation in Manzhouli is much more serious. The Northeast New Army Air Force's air attack on the Dalian Lushun Fortress has just ended.  Lao Maozi has just ended his attack on Manzhouli.  In the position of the Independent 8th Division in Manzhouli, deputy division commander Li Dajun was carrying an MP18 submachine gun and leading two guards to inspect the front trenches.  A fierce battle just took place here, and the bodies of soldiers from both sides can be seen everywhere.  In the trenches, the wounded soldiers were wailing in pain.  The thick smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke is very pungent and nauseating.  "Sir." When a second lieutenant officer saw Li Dajun, his arms and head were covered with gauze, and some places were stained red with blood, he quickly stood up and saluted with his other hand.  Li Dajun stopped, looked at the subordinate in front of him, and patted his shoulder gently.  He straightened his collar and gave him a silent military salute.  This was a silent exchange and encouragement between fellow soldiers. The second lieutenant was so excited that he almost shed tears.  Li Dajun walked a little further and saw a soldier holding the neck of the corpse of an old man before he died.  The cloth shoe on one foot fell off, possibly due to the struggle during the fight.  Li Dajun looked around, found the cloth shoe that the soldier had dropped, and stepped forward to separate the dead soldiers from the Soviet corpses.  But the soldier’s hands were surprisingly tight, and Li Dajun couldn’t pry him open even though he tried so hard.  Li Dajun sat down on the ground and said solemnly: "That's it. Brothers, put on the shoes that the elders in your hometown gave us and hit the road smoothly." After saying this, he personally put on the cloth shoes for the sacrificed soldiers.  "You died for your country today. Your name will go down in history. Brothers, your blood will not be shed in vain. Have a good journey!" Li Dajun stood up and looked up at the sky as if to say goodbye to all his comrades who had sacrificed their lives.  It is a town about eighty kilometers away from Hailar.  This place has become a battlefield between the Northeast Army and the Soviet Army.  Wu Chengfeng, deputy commander of the 5th Independent Division, rushed to Hailar (in today's Hulunbuir City area) through a forced march. He joined the Third Tank Division stationed in Hailar and advanced at full speed along the railway line towards Manzhouli.  Encountered a Soviet army unit in the town of completion, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.  The Soviet army also dispatched a large number of tanks and armored vehicles this time.  Although the quality is far inferior to the No. 4 tank group of the Northeast New Army.  But in addition to tanks, they also had aircraft, so the two sides were equally matched, and the war situation entered a stalemate.  Inside the temporary headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  Wu Chengfeng is holding an emergency military meeting with the Third Tank Division and its military chiefs.  Wu Chengfeng, who was standing at the top, raised a piece of telegram and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is what the communications corps has just collected.The urgent telegram from the commander-in-chief arrived. The commander-in-chief instructed us in the telegram that we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. We cannot defend ourselves and confront Lao Maozi head-on.  Rather, we need to get as far away from the front as possible, allow the Soviet troops to go deeper, trade space for time, disperse the Soviet troops, and ultimately block the enemy's attack in the Qiqihar and Jiamusi areas.  The commander-in-chief has promised to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. The reinforcements will definitely arrive in less than half a month.  " "Moreover, the opponent in front of us is very strong right now, and the outcome of both the enemy and ourselves is unpredictable.  I think that since the commander-in-chief has issued such an order, there is no need for Manchuria to hold on and waste precious troops.  So I decided that I would personally lead a tank battalion to bypass the enemy in front of me, make a circuitous route to Manchuria, and support the independent 8th Division in breaking through.  Presumably it is time for the Independent 8th Division to receive instructions from the commander at this time.  "  Li Dajun inspected the battlefield. Just as he was about to go back, a communications soldier hurriedly walked up the trench to greet him. "What's the matter?  "Li Dajun saw that the communication was in a hurry and asked immediately. "Deputy division seat, the commander-in-chief sent an urgent telegram. In addition, reinforcements from the Independent 5th Division also just called.  "The communications soldier stood up and saluted, and handed the two messages to Li Dajun. Li Dajun took it and looked at it hastily, his face suddenly changed, he pondered for a while, and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go back to the division headquarters.  "Outside of Manzhouli, inside a Soviet command post. About four or five old Maozi officers are gathering together to discuss the offensive plan for Manzhouli. One of them is worth mentioning. He was just sent to Moscow, named Zhukov  , is a top student who has just graduated from the Frunze Military Academy. He is now the commander of the 4th Soviet Cavalry Division. This Zhukov had already experienced hundreds of battles before entering Frunze for further studies. He joined the army as an ordinary soldier and has become a soldier.  With accumulated military exploits and promotion to this day, Zhukov pointed to the map and said to several military officers responsible for the attack on Manchuria and Qiqihar: "Generals, the reinforcements of the Northeast New Army have now been diverted by our army to attack the troops.  It was discovered that an encounter occurred between the two sides.  It is impossible to reach Manchuria for reinforcements in a short period of time, so the Northeastern New Army in our encirclement can be said to be unable to escape.  However, one thing is that when there is no hope of backup, it is not ruled out that the Chinese will abandon this place and make a breakout. Generals are kindly asked to take strict precautions against this.  " ps: I spent a whole day at the driving school in the county today. I was soaked in the rain all day and was yelled at by the instructor countless times. I still got some results. I didn't get home until eight in the evening. It was almost ten after dinner and a shower. We still have to do it tomorrow.  Continue, so that’s it for today, sorry. (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 269: Manchuria Breakout War

    "Well, what Zhukov said is very reasonable. We should take precautions in advance." A fat Soviet general nodded happily and said to Zhukov: "Comrade Zhukov, your 4th Cavalry Division will be responsible for perimeter security.  , in case the enemies in Manchuria break through. " "Yes, Comrade General, I will go all out to cultivate the worldly bamboo garden," Zhukov happily agreed.  ……………… At the same time, the headquarters of the 8th Independent Division in Manzhouli.  "Brothers and colleagues, the situation has changed. The Commander-in-Chief just called us and ordered us to withdraw from Manchuria immediately and retreat towards Hailar." Li Dajun put the message in his hand on the table and said: "The situation is urgent. I hope everyone will execute it immediately and use all our strength."  Cooperate with me to command the troops to evacuate overnight." "Yes!" No officer at all levels in the Northeast New Army would disobey Zhang Xinghan's order, not to mention that they did not agree with continuing to hold on to Manzhouli.  At this moment, the main force of the Northeast New Army's own air force and army artillery are all far away in southern Manchuria. It is really not a wise move to place precious troops on the border of Manchuria to fight with the Soviet army, which has the advantage of land and air.  Therefore, several regiment and battalion-level officers agreed on the spot and immediately discussed the retreat route and other plans with Li Dajun urgently.  At this time, a communications soldier ran over again holding an emergency cable and said: "Deputy commander, General Wu Chengfeng is calling. He has personally led a tank battalion to bypass the front battlefield of Chengcheng Town and come at night to support our breakout." "Huh?"  Li Dajun and others were delighted when they heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Did Deputy Commander Wu say how long it will take for them to arrive?" "General Wu said in the message that he had ordered the troops to march at full speed, at the speed of the tank battalion.  Depending on the terrain and road conditions of the Hulunbuir Prairie, we can arrive in more than two hours at the latest," the communications soldier replied.  "Okay!" Li Dajun nodded and said to several of his subordinates: "Listen carefully and go back immediately to organize your troops. After an hour and a half, we broke out and gathered all the remaining tanks and armored vehicles in the division, as well as the artillery.  Concentrate your firepower on the Soviet army, assist the tanks and armored forces to open the gap, and break out from the south of Manchuria City, retreating around Hulun Lake to Hailar. " "Yes!" Several officers responded at the same time.  Take the order and leave.  In the early hours of the night, both sides had completely ceased fire, and even the occasional exchange of firepower had stopped.  The whole of Manchuria is in endless darkness.  Except for the whistling of the biting wind, the silence was heart-stopping.  The officers and soldiers of the Independent 8th Division of the Northeastern New Army in the city did not fall asleep as usual, but were all fully armed and ready to attack.  On the streets in the south area of ??the city, dozens of No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles have all assembled.  Not far from them in the rear, the artillerymen also used the cover of night to turn all their muzzles towards the Soviet positions outside the south of the city.  Li Dajun walked out of the division headquarters surrounded by a group of guards.  As soon as he left, a combat staff officer picked up the phone and conveyed the order to start the breakout as agreed.  Immediately, the signal corps orderlies began to pack their things and prepare to retreat.  The order was quickly conveyed to all units, and the artillerymen took the lead in firing, with nearly a hundred large and small artillery pieces, such as mortars.  70mm, 75mm field guns or mountain guns fired one after another.  A huge shelling sound suddenly sounded, and the firelight instantly illuminated the area around the artillery position.  The shells turned into balls of dazzling flames and roared towards the Soviet positions.  "Boomboom" Soon, violent and ear-splitting explosions came from outside the south of the city, and the monstrous fire dispersed the darkness, almost lighting up the sky.  It didn’t take long for the artillery unit’s ten rapid fire rounds to end, and the already impatient tank and armor soldiers set off immediately.  A large number of infantrymen who had been waiting for a long time also followed them and rushed out of the city.  There is a trench in the north of the city. This trench is located in some private houses.  Basically, all residential buildings have been connected and connected together.  In the trench, a captain and company commander turned his head to look at the fire shooting into the sky in the south of the city, listening to the deafening explosion.  He turned around and looked back at the dozens of subordinates who followed him and stayed behind.  Suddenly asked: "Brothers, are you afraid of staying with me to block the attack? In fact, if I hadn't chosen you to stay, maybe you could have followed the large force to break out." "Company Commander, don't say anything. I  When you first joined the army, you were my squad leader. You have always treated me like a brother. In this battle today, too many of our brothers, Xie Laoliu, Wang Jiu, and Ma Donzi died.  "A squad leader wiped away his tears and choked up: "I can pull a few more at the end.Lao Maozi is buried with us, avenges his dead brother, and buys time for his brother. Everything is worth it.  " "The squad leader is right, it's not a big deal. If I want to carry it to my parents, I will leave it to Guo Shanzhu of the 6th company. As long as he can stand out, I will have no regrets.  "Another soldier said. "Okay.  "The captain and company commander nodded solemnly, and took out a piece of red cloth from the pocket of his military uniform with trembling hands. He opened the folded red cloth and found a black and white photo about three inches square. "  It was a baby who was still in his infancy. He was white, plump and very cute. His hands covered with dust and covered with gauze gently touched the photo. The captain murmured with some choking, "Son, daddy may not be able to go back and grow up with you."  Now, you must grow up healthy. When you grow up, you can compensate your mother for your father and protect her for your father" "" Soviet Army Headquarters. "General, the Chinese troops in the city are really  They broke through and their artillery fire just hit our troops' defense line in the south of the city.  "A Soviet officer hurriedly reported to all the Soviet commanders, including Zhukov. "Humph, it seems that it is not what Comrade Zhukov expected.  The fat Soviet general snorted coldly and said to Zhukov: "Comrade Zhukov, please immediately lead your cavalry and cooperate with the main infantry force to intercept the breaking out Chinese army."  " "Yes, general, don't worry!  "Zhukov suddenly stood up to accept the order and left with a meteoric stride. After watching Zhukov leave, he said to several other generals: "The enemy's main force breaks out. It is a good opportunity for us to seize Manchuria. We order the troops in the north of the city to launch an attack immediately.  , captured Manzhouli in one fell swoop.  "    "yes!  "Several other Soviet generals also stood up and took orders. Soon, Manzhouli was once again drowned by the deafening sound of gunfire. When the gunfire broke out, dazzling firelights could be seen everywhere, shouts of killing, and explosions one after another. ps  : I kept going to the driving school yesterday and the day before yesterday, and I practiced driving all day long. I was almost exhausted when I got home, so I didn’t have to go to the driving school tomorrow.  But I have to visit relatives, because it’s August 15th, and I have to make time to visit relatives. I also have to take the driver’s license test, and I have to harvest the geography crops in a few days, and I have to learn to drive, so I will be very busy.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 270: The Onslaught Begins (Part 2)

    "Boomboom boom" several explosions fell on the defense line north of the Northeast New Army City.  // // This is a Soviet-style 81mm mortar shell, which is no less powerful than Japan's mountain artillery and field artillery.  Several explosions immediately blasted several large craters in the blocking position of the Northeast New Army, and several dazzling fires were very bright in the dark night.  After the fire, in a trench, a big hand wrapped in gauze took out the black and white photo again from his jacket pocket.  He held on and took a look in front of him. He suddenly lost control of his arm and fell down, and the photo fell on him.  At this time, messy footsteps came from outside the trench, and accompanied by the footsteps were the words of the old Maozi soldiers.  The captain and company commander were so weak that his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. In the blur, he saw two Soviet soldiers holding Mosinagan rifles jumping into the trench.  He was stabbing the corpses of several comrades with bayonets, while many Soviet soldiers crossed the trench directly from above him and rushed deeper.  Not long after, the Soviet army cheered.  The captain and company commander used the last bit of strength he saved when he was on the verge of death to pull the fuse of the explosive they had laid in advance.  "Boom" A series of violent explosions sounded, and huge flames soared into the sky in the dark night, like ferocious and terrifying fire dragons.  Nearly a hundred Soviet officers and soldiers who were cheering heartlessly were suddenly bombarded to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.  At the same time, on the battlefield south of the city.  Seeing that the assault troops of the Independent 8th Division were about to defeat the already chaotic Soviet blocking troops with heavy casualties, they successfully broke through.  At this time, Zhukov appeared with thousands of cavalry armed with carbines.  The 4th Soviet Cavalry Division is a modern cavalry unit mainly composed of brave and capable Cossacks.  Equipped with small artillery, machine guns, carbines, and of course the standard Cossack sword of the Cossack cavalry is naturally indispensable.  The cavalrymen suddenly fired rows of bullets, hitting the infantrymen of the Northeastern New Army who were charging with the tank troops and fell in pieces.  Responsible for personally commanding the breakout of Li Dajun after receiving the report.  Immediately order the tank regiment and other armored units to attack the Soviet cavalry with all their strength.  But Zhukov is very cunning. He did not foolishly use cavalry to actively attack the tanks and armored troops of the Northeast Army.  Instead, the Cossack cavalry took advantage of its high mobility and attacked the infantry of the Northeastern New Army with all its strength.  Firepower was fired from a long distance. When the distance was close, thousands of Cossack cavalry pulled out their sharp Cossack swords.  Its fierce and fearless momentum and the super accelerated assault ability of the war horses actually made the infantry of the Northeastern New Army, who were almost armed to the teeth, feel timid and ready to retreat in the panic.  Fortunately, the rocket soldiers and machine gunners in the rear fired in time, and the situation was barely stabilized.  However, due to the fear of accidentally injuring our own infantry, the tanks and armored vehicle units were unable to fire at full strength.  Some scattered infantry were also submerged in the cavalry tide and chopped into pulp.  Although Zhukov's cavalry division was unable to defeat the Northeastern New Army, it forced them to retreat into the city.  However, its flexible and maneuverable tactics of avoiding the most important and taking advantage of the slightest still effectively slowed down the Northeast New Army's breakout speed.  Seeing the successive defeats of the blocking forces in the city, the main force of the Soviet army besieging the city has almost occupied the entire city and is encircling them at full speed.  Deputy division commander Li Dajun was sweating profusely in anxiety. He personally led the guard battalion and led the troops to break through with powerful assault firepower composed of submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns.  The Cossack cavalry were shot and fell off their horses one after another, but with thousands of cavalry galloping back and forth to attack, it was obviously not that easy to defeat.  Just when the battle was at a stalemate, the battlefield situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Northeast New Army.  Wu Chengfeng arrived with an elite tank and chariot battalion, and they had enough ammunition.  Morale is strong.  Under the command of Wu Chengfeng, they immediately launched an assault on the Soviet cavalry.  The appearance of Wu Chengfeng's reinforcements disrupted Zhukov's plan to delay time.  A large number of Cossack cavalry who kept making roundabout attacks were massacred by the crazy firepower of the tank troops led by Wu Chengfeng.  “ Moreover, Wu Chengfeng almost ran into a blind cat and rushed directly towards Zhukov’s temporary command.  At this time, there was only a cavalry company beside Zhukov, and he saw several tanks roaring towards him menacingly.  The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties due to the superior firepower of the Northeastern New Army. Zhukov reluctantly issued an order to retreat.  Thousands of Cossack cavalry received the order.  Immediately, they quickly withdrew from the battle like a tide.  Wu Chengfeng just wanted to lead his troops to continue chasing??, Li Dajun rushed up with people: "Deputy Commander Wu, are you here?" Wu Chengfeng climbed out of a tank, got out of the vehicle and saluted: "Deputy Commander Li, Wu Chengfeng is late. Don't be offended.  "Ah." "No, you came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Li Dajun saluted.  Cut to the point and said: "General Wu, Lao Maozi has already entered the city, and the main force is encircling us. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, we should break out of the encirclement quickly." "Okay, you retreat first, I will lead the troops to the rear."  Wu Chengfeng said.  "Well, our unit has suffered heavy casualties, so I won't be polite to you anymore. I'll leave the tank regiment to you." Li Dajun said.  In the end, under the strong cover of the tanks and armored units led by Wu Chengfeng, the Independent 8th Division successfully broke through from Manchuria.  Although the losses in this battle were heavy, the main force is still there and the essence is still there.  After breaking through, the 8th Independent Division joined forces with Wu Chengfeng and retreated towards Hailar.  ……………… The front line of Dalian in Southern Manchuria, the headquarters of the Northeast New Army.  It was just dawn, Zhang Xinghan had just gotten up and was washing up. Chief of Staff Jiang Baili held a telegram and said: "Commander, there is a call from Li Dajun and Wu Chengfeng. The Independent 8th Division has successfully broken out of Manzhouli and is currently evacuating and regrouping towards Hailar." "Okay.  , call them back, and try every means to delay the Soviet offensive and buy time for us to return to Beiman." Zhang Xinghan gargled.  Jiang Baili nodded and turned around to leave.  Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to stop him: "Chief of Staff, after the air force's bombing ends today, it's time for the ground troops to attack. Inform all divisions that after the bombing ends, they will immediately launch a full-scale attack on the Lushun Fortress. It must be broken within three days.  Destroy the Japanese troops at Lushun Fortress! Recover the last lost territory of our Liaodong Peninsula. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili stood up and saluted, turned and left.  At eight in the morning that day, the sun had just risen above the sea level, and the pilot divisions of the Northeast New Army came out in full force again.  "The difference from yesterday is that today all bombers, even the aerial bombs carried by the Zero fighter jets, have been replaced by gasoline incendiary bombs.  A fierce air raid on the Lushun Fortress began for several hours.  Under the attack of thousands of tons of napalm bombs, the entire Lushun Fortress became a sea of ????fire.  (To be continued ps: I was notified yesterday that I didn’t have to go to the driving school today, but I called again early in the morning and told me to go. What a painful day!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 271: Capture of Lushun

    "Kill!" On the wilderness plain outside Lushun Fortress, tens of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers armed with steel guns rolled in like a tide.  The blue military uniforms merged into a blue ocean, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains and fields were endless.  The soldiers’ shouts of killing resounded in all directions and echoed for a long time.  Artillery pieces of various calibers opened fire one after another to provide fire cover for the attacking troops.  From time to time, artillery shells fell into the Japanese positions and exploded.  In the large and small bunkers of the Japanese army's position, the Japanese soldiers who survived the sea of ????fire hurriedly entered the position and began to prepare to block the attack.  Soon, a large-scale and fierce offensive and defensive battle broke out between the two sides.  "Chief of Staff, order the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to concentrate fire on the Japanese position at six o'clock and kill the Japanese bunkers there." In a hidden forward observation post, Zhang Xinghan turned to Jiang Baili  commanded.  "Yes!" Jiang Baili responded, picked up the phone and started to order.  Not long after, a violent shelling fell on the Japanese bunker group at six o'clock.  With the cover of our own artillery fire, hundreds of soldiers of the Northeast Army who had been suppressed by the Japanese's intensive and fierce firepower took advantage of the situation and rushed forward.  By four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Lushun Fortress battlefield was in flames. The sound of guns and cannons and the shouts of killing were deafening. The intensity was beyond words.  Although the Northeastern New Army's offensive was rapid and fierce, and they had absolute superiority in artillery and air firepower, they made little progress due to the desperate resistance of the Japanese army.  As evening approached, the attacking troops had only captured some minor peripheral positions of the Japanese army.  It had little effect, and the main Japanese positions were still in the hands of the Japanese.  However, both sides suffered considerable casualties.  "Commander, the troops have suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese resistance is very tenacious and backed by the solid defenses of the Lushun Fortress. Our army is eager to capture it, but it is too difficult and the price is too high." Headquarters  Here, Jiang Baili frowned.  "Huh? What good ideas does the chief of staff have?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  In fact, he really couldn't think of a good way at this time. He could only use the absolute strength of the Northeast New Army to smash the Japanese turtle defense line and capture the Lushun Fortress.  But the difficulty of the attack and the losses of the troops were indeed beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectations, even if he was mentally prepared.  Jiang Baili frowned at the map and pondered for a long time and said: "Commander, our army's divisions suffered heavy casualties. I suggest that we immediately transfer the 30,000 Northeastern Army prisoners from Jinzhou and use them to supplement our army's battle losses. Strengthen the response  "Continuous attack on Lushun Fortress." "Good idea, let's do it." Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili with approval.  ……………………………… Lushun Fortress, inside the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.  Hishikari Taka, Okamura Neji and others looked very gloomy. Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki was announcing the battle damage of each division.  After hearing this, Hisashi Karitaka’s brows almost knitted together.  "Okamura-kun. Our army has suffered heavy casualties. If this continues, the situation may not be good." Hishikari Takashi looked at Okamura Neji and asked.  "General, there is no need to panic. The Chinese Army has the absolute advantage of artillery, aviation and tanks and chariots. It is normal for us to have such large battle losses, but I believe that the casualties of the Chinese will not be much smaller than ours. In terms of military strength,  , there is not much difference between us. And Zhang Xinghan's troops have to guard against the Chinese warlords in the pass and are now struggling with the Russian army invading the border. Therefore, they are facing much greater pressure than we are.  If we persist, victory will definitely belong to us. In the final analysis, whoever persists more will be the winner.  That night, Zhang Xinghan ordered the Northeast Army to continue attacking overnight.  The fierce battle has entered a fierce stage.  Both the offensive and defensive sides suffered casualties, and corpses littered the fields.  The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the new officers and soldiers of the Northeast finally broke through the enemy's thread with the assistance of the tank and chariot troops.  However, due to the excessive casualties of the troops, they were unable to continue to expand the results and expanded the breakthrough.  Okamura Neiji and others immediately commanded the reserve troops to counterattack, and the two sides entered a stalemate stage again.  On the third day, after two days and two nights of continuous fighting.  Both sides entered a state of exhaustion, each suffering heavy casualties.  At this time, two tank regiments of the Northeastern New Army in the direction of Jinzhou escorted 30,000 captive soldiers and finally arrived in time.? field.  Zhang Xinghan immediately added 30,000 captive soldiers to each division and regiment, and received 30,000 fresh troops to supplement them.  The stalled attack started again.  These 30,000 captive soldiers have long been suffocating and have no place to vent their anger.  “When I heard this time that we were fighting against the Japanese, everyone became lively and energetic, with high morale.  With the addition of these 30,000 new troops, the stalemate situation quickly changed.  They are no different than some new recruits, they are all veterans with rich training and combat experience.  After Zhang Xinghan equipped them with new weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness they displayed was extremely astonishing.  On the night of the third day, the Northeastern New Army had basically broken through all the Japanese defense lines.  Zhang Xinghan threw his last reserve team into the battle and launched the final attack on the Japanese army's last line of defense, Lushun Military Port.  Tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Northeast Army rushed to pursue them. In front of them were a large number of tanks and armored vehicles.  A large number of Japanese soldiers retreated from the warehouse and fled towards the military port. Those who were a little slower would be knocked down by the tank machine gunners of the Northeast Army.  Or maybe it was blown up by the shells fired by the tanks.  In the military port, Hisashi Karutaka boarded a warship with a deathly expression on his face.  Accompanying him were Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Neji.  "General, please allow me to stay in this humble position and live and die with the warriors of the Kwantung Army." Okamura Neiji lowered his head and said.  Hearing this, Hisashi Karutaka looked at him and said with a stern voice: "No, the imperial army has been defeated in this battle. If you don't commit the crime, you will lose your life in vain. The Chinese have a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. " Okamura-kun, you are  An outstanding commander, you will definitely have a chance to make a comeback in the future. "Okamura Neiji felt like dying at this moment. The Northeast New Army's offensive was rapid and the soldiers' tenacity in fighting consciousness was beyond his imagination.  But what he didn’t expect was that Zhang Xinghan actually put tens of thousands of captured soldiers into the battle.  And it played an important role. The prisoners of the Northeast Army who were enemies of the Northeast New Army a moment ago can become a powerful force that can kill the Kwantung Army in the blink of an eye.  Okamura Neiji couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out even more. Now that the Northeastern New Army was suffering from internal and external troubles, it was a good opportunity to avenge its past humiliation.  Why did Zhang Xueliang, who had just suffered a big loss, stand still?  It’s just that Okamura Neiji forgot that this war was a battle between the two nations of China and Japan.  In the face of national justice, Chinese soldiers can put aside their hatred and prejudices and join forces to fight the enemy.  Even if they were fighting on the battlefield just a moment ago.  What’s more, the Northeastern New Army and the Northeastern Army are brotherly armies with the same roots.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 272 Return to Northern Manchuria

    Beiping City, Young Marshal's Mansion.  After the full rescue efforts of many Chinese and foreign doctors, Marshal Zhang finally woke up after being in a coma for nearly half a month.  The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to ask how the war was going outside the customs.  Miss Zhao Si and Adjutant Chen Dazhang, who had been standing by, lowered their heads in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.  Seeing them like this, Marshal Zhang knew something was wrong, and immediately said in a serious tone: "Dazhang, tell me quickly, what is the situation?" "Han Qing, let me tell you." Miss Zhao Si, who was sitting beside his bed, said  He winked at Chen Dazhang.  Chen Dazhang nodded in understanding, turned and left.  After Chen Dazhang left, Miss Zhao Si tactfully informed Marshal Zhang of the progress of the war outside the pass.  Seeing that his face was pale and silent after listening, Miss Zhao Si was worried and hurriedly comforted: "Han Qing, victory or defeat has been a common matter for military strategists since ancient times. Besides, the country has been restored outside the customs. It is a good thing for the country and the nation. It is better than  Isn’t it better to fall into the hands of the Japanese?" Marshal Zhang has a knot in his heart, and of course it cannot be resolved by Miss Zhao Si in a few words.  His face was as pale as white paper, and from time to time he would open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.  The body lost its support like a broken chair and fell down.  Miss Zhao Si was shocked and pale, she hurriedly helped her up and shouted urgently: "Han Qing! Han Qing! What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Marshal Zhang fainted again, Miss Zhao Si turned around and shouted urgently: "Adjutant Chen, Adjutant Chen, hurry up  Come" The young marshal's house once again fell into panic, haze and sadness.  At the same time, the city of Beiping outside the mansion has turned into a sea of ??joy.  The huge city of Beiping is full of joyful people, including young students, ordinary citizens, businessmen and other people from all walks of life.  There are men and women, old and young. The reason why they almost forgot about it and took to the streets to celebrate.  Naturally, it was because Zhang Xinghan led the Northeast Army to regain the lost territory outside the Pass, and even the Lushun Fortress, which had been seized by Japan and Russia for a long time, was successfully recaptured.  This scene of people celebrating is not only unique to Beiping City, but also to Zhangjiakou.  Baoding, Cangzhou, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Jinan, Xuzhou, Luoyang.  Almost all large and medium-sized cities such as Xi'an, Nanjing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Changsha, Chongqing and hundreds of other large and medium-sized cities have held celebrations of varying sizes.  The entire Liao Dynasty was restored.  The whole country celebrated, and countless people took to the streets holding banners "Long Live the Northeastern New Army" and "Long Live General Zhang Xinghan" and chanted with emotion.  Some patriots with a strong sense of justice even cried excitedly. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has been weak and has been repeatedly invaded and humiliated by foreign enemies.  All outside the customs were recovered.  It really enhanced China’s national prestige and gave a strong sigh of relief.  Similar to the scene in Peking City, the streets of Nanjing City were crowded with people taking to the streets to celebrate.  Sitting in the office of Duke Jiang’s official residence, Chairman Chiang could almost hear the shouts of the people outside.  This is still Jiang Gong's residence. The area has long been surrounded by guards on three levels and three levels outside.  Chairman Jiang frowned, his expression seemed a little displeased, and Dai Li, who was standing by, observed his words.  Said: "Commissioner, the people of this capital are too presumptuous. They gathered people on such a large scale. Should we mobilize the military police and city defense troops to disperse them? To prevent accidents?" Chairman Chiang stood up and walked to the window.  , looked outside and pondered for a while, turned around and sighed: "I'm afraid this situation is not unique to Nanjing City, right?" Dai Li hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, according to intelligence. Including Shanghai, Pingjin, and Hangzhou  All large and medium-sized cities are holding rallies of varying sizes to celebrate. "It is indeed a rare happy event to regain all the territory outside the customs. Forget it, let's just let the people cheer this time," Chairman Jiang seemed to say to himself.  road.  Dai Li immediately said anxiously: "But, with the appointment, won't Zhang Xinghan's reputation rise to a point where there is nothing to attach to it?" Although Dai Li did not explain what he said later, it was immediately clear who Mr. Jiang was.  "Popular sentiment is a double-edged sword. If we forcibly disperse and suppress the celebrating people, it will only be counterproductive and may benefit others. Instead of doing this, it is better to go with the flow and let the people understand that the Northeast New Army is the border defense of the National Government.  Army, Zhang Xinghan is also a general of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army," Jiang Gong said meaningfully.  Dai Li tasted the product carefully, and he suddenly realized that the appointment was the appointment, and it was indeed extraordinary.  In this way, we not only win the hearts and minds of the people, but also use the merits of the Northeastern New Army to increase people's understanding of Nanjing.The recognition and favor of the people's government.  Being able to control and win over Zhang Xinghan and his new Northeastern army is not unwise.  "The principal is wise, and Yu Nong admires him greatly. Dai Li quickly bowed his head and flattered him." Jiang Gong smiled slightly and said to Wang Shihe, the chief guard at the side: "Shihe, I am planning to do it."  "Wang Shihe quickly took out his pen and notebook and got ready respectfully. "We all learned about the battle in Southern Manchuria. We were able to get full credit because Xinghan commanded it well. The officers and soldiers of the three armies fought for their lives. I am very worried.  Zhang Xinghan is hereby appointed as the new commander of the border defense of the three northeastern provinces, with the military rank promoted to the second-level general. Jiang Baili is appointed as the chief of general staff, with the military rank of army lieutenant general and general. All officers and soldiers under his command will be officially reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the Republic of China, at all levels.  The official designation of the troops will be issued by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs later.  I hope that brothers and others will continue to carry forward the spirit of sacrificing their lives to serve the country and make new contributions to the party, the country, and the nation.  ” ………………… Dalian City, the war situation in Northern Manchuria is urgent. Zhang Xinghan only gave the main forces one day to rest before ordering them to assemble urgently and prepare to go north for reinforcements. After careful discussions with Jiang Baili and others,  Zhang Xinghan decided to leave the 3rd and 4th Independent Divisions to guard the Liaodong Peninsula and Jinzhou. At the same time, the two divisions were given the power to independently recruit new soldiers and form police and military police units to assist in local management. The troops were assembled. Zhang Xinghan was accompanied by Jiang Baili and others.  We climbed onto the high platform and prepared to make a mobilization and speech before departure. "Brothers, we won a great victory in the battle of Southern Manchuria and completely recovered all the lost territory in our three northeastern provinces.  I know that the officers and soldiers of all units are very tired, and I really want you to rest.  "However, Lao Maozi refused to let us get what we wanted. Taking advantage of our main force moving south, he assembled a heavy force to invade our territory in Northern Manchuria again.  They invaded our land and burned our houses.  Killing my comrade Pao Ze, his wife, son and daughter is no different from the Japanese.  “As a soldier, especially a Northeastern soldier, how can we just sit back and do nothing?”  "Zhang Xing's Chinese characters are loud and resonant. Chief of Staff Jiang Baili raised his arms at the right time and shouted: "Expel the Tartars and protect our country!"  " "Drive out the Tartars.  Protect your home and country!  " "Drive out the Tartars and protect our country!"  " "Drive out the Tartars and protect our country!"  " Tens of thousands of new Northeastern officers and soldiers present raised their guns in response. The voices were loud and loud, deafening and inspiring. Not long after, seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and ordered the troops to set off one after another. The troops need to travel thousands of miles.  March, and Zhang Xinghan could reach Northern Manchuria within a few hours by plane. Therefore, he did not rush to set off, but returned to the headquarters with Jiang Baili and others. "Chief of Staff, I will return to Northern Manchuria to command the fight.  Soviet Army.  I will leave it to you to deal with the many aftermath matters in this southern Manchuria area.  "Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili. "Commander, please rest assured, Baili will definitely live up to his trust.  "Jiang Baili said. "Oh, by the way, Chief of Staff, you said earlier that food is in short supply, food prices are soaring, and people's daily lives have been affected by the war.  Zhang Xinghan paused and said: "Right now, I have an extraordinary way to temporarily alleviate this food crisis and maintain the stability of the South Manchuria region."  " "I wonder if the boss has any good ideas?  "Jiang Baili asked curiously. Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and said: "Cross the Yalu River.  All money and food can be taken from the Korean Peninsula.  " "What do you mean, Commander?  "Jiang Baili was a little surprised. "The main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army was basically wiped out by us. As far as I know, its remaining troops on the Korean Peninsula are only about one division. It is obviously unrealistic for one division to hold a Korean Peninsula.  .  ??Actually, we are continuing to rest and recuperate now, so what I mean is not to send troops to seize the Korean Peninsula.  The chief of staff only needs to send one or two armored troops deep into the peninsula and collect more money and food. Anyway, if we don't take the money and food, it will be an advantage for Japan.  As for the life and death of other people on the peninsula.  That's nothing we need to worry about.  Your main focus should be on seizing the time to rest and recruiting new soldiers, in case the Japanese are determined to invade again, although this possibility is very small.  But we can't help but guard against it.  As for the use of troops on the Korean Peninsula and other places, we can wait until we repel Lao Maozi, stabilize the border defense, and expand our strength again before making plans.  "Zhang Xinghan explained in detail. Jiang Baili nodded after listening: "Baili understands, other than that, I think I?You can also buy large amounts of grain from within the customs to ease the food shortage outside the customs.  " "Well, you can have this.  "Zhang Xinghan knew that he was really not short of money now, but he was short of food, especially hard currency that was comparable to gold during the war. At this time, Guo Zhong walked in excitedly, holding a message in his left hand. He pointed to Zhang Xinghan with his right hand  He saluted Jiang Baili and said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, a call from Nanjing.  "    "oh?  "Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other, then waved their hands to Guo Zhong and said, "Read it quickly and see what commendation telegram Chairman Jiang has sent us.  " Guo Zhong immediately took the telegram with both hands and read it quickly. After Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili listened, they looked at each other and smiled, thinking: Chairman Chiang is indeed a good player in politics, but he also gave a lot of substance.  "Chief of Staff, please report the strength of our Northeast Border Defense Force as soon as possible. Remember to report more so that we can get more numbers."  " "Commander, please don't worry, Baili understands.  "Jiang Baili said with a smile. Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked Guo Zhongdao: "Zhongzi, how is the repair of the airport going?  "Reporting to the commander, the airport has been repaired. The Air Force said that the transport flight group has taken off and is on its way."  "Guo Zhong replied respectfully. "Okay, hurry up and notify the 1st Regiment. As soon as the plane arrives, board the plane immediately. After arriving in Qiqihar, it will immediately go to Hulunbuir to support the front line.  " Zhang Xinghan instructed. Guo Zhong took the order, and Jiang Baili said: "Commander, since we have air force transport planes to transport troops, why not let all troops be transported by air so that they can get to the front line as soon as possible?  " Zhang Xinghan smiled helplessly and said: "Chief of Staff, you don't know this. Our current transport aircraft are still extremely limited in both quality and quantity. Transporting an infantry regiment plus my guard battalion is already the limit.  No matter how much, the time required is actually not as fast as taking a train or car.  "    "oh.  "Jiang Baili said with emotion: "It seems that we need to purchase more transport aircraft.  " "This is natural. I believe that in the near future, our air force transportation capabilities will be greatly improved.  "Zhang Xinghan said with great certainty. …………………… Hailar (today's Hulunbuir area) battlefield. Since the independent division of the Northeast New Army withdrew from Manzhouli a few days ago with the support of the fifth division. The Soviet army occupied Manzhouli.  After that, they pursued them with all their strength. At the same time, Liu Guodong also led the main force of the Fifth Division and a large number of local police and militia troops to reinforce Hailar. Hailar was already the last barrier for the Northeast New Army to defend the hinterland of Jilin and the last line for the Soviet army to invade.  Blocking was extremely important for both sides. Therefore, the two sides launched a large-scale battle in Hailar. After all the reinforcements were coming, Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng and others were greatly confident, but their strength was at a disadvantage.  Yiran was not afraid, and commanded his soldiers to resist desperately. PS: A chapter of nearly 4,000 words. I have been very busy these days, busy visiting relatives, busy harvesting soybeans in the fields, my children and I both caught a cold, and we were busy.

    "Thud, tug, tug tug, tug" On the raging battlefield, the light and heavy machine guns of both China and the Soviet Union roared continuously.  // Free e-book download // A hail of death bullets poured out, and the Soviet infantry on the offensive side were shot and fell one after another like grass.  Unfortunately, some of the defenders' officers and soldiers also died one after another.  The dense bullets criss-crossed and shuttled back and forth. Wherever they went, smoke and dust swirled up, which was very spectacular.  The shells screamed and fell from the sky one after another. When they exploded, they exploded into a large piece. The sound was rumbling and deafening.  "Boom!" An explosion exploded not far from the headquarters of the New Army in Northeast Hailar.  The huge vibration caused dirt to fall from the roof of the headquarters.  "Bah, bah, bah" Wu Chengfeng suddenly flew into a rage, shook his head and cursed: "Damn it, the artillery fire of the bastard old man is really strong."  "Deputy Commander Wu, you don't know something, old man  Mao Zi advocates artillery firepower even more than we do. The 120mm or cannon-type artillery can only be regarded as medium-sized artillery. The sound of the artillery just now should be caused by the 155mm heavy howitzer," said Li Dajun, deputy commander of Duli's 8th Division.  "If it hadn't been for the Commander-in-Chief's repeated orders to hold on and wait for reinforcements, I would have really wanted to personally lead people to take down Lao Maozi's shitty artillery position. Without the support of the air force, and the heavy artillery brigades are all on the front line of Jiamusi, this battle is really going to be fought.  Damn useless," Wu Chengfeng said with some annoyance.  Liu Guodong, commander of Duli's 5th Division, who had been staring at the combat map, turned around and said calmly: "Okay, don't complain. Didn't the commander-in-chief already say that the reinforcements have moved north in batches, and the air force regiments  He's on his way, maybe he'll be here soon." As soon as Liu Guodong finished speaking, the cheers of his own officers and soldiers came from outside the headquarters.  A junior officer ran in excitedly and reported: "Sir, plane. Our plane, our air force is here!" Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng looked at each other, and said with joy, "That's great.  "It's true that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, haha!" "Master, these old fools are bullying us because we don't have an air force. Let me take the troops to fight back today, and let's vent our anger!"  Gearing up to give it a try.  "Yes." Liu Guodong nodded: "It is necessary to properly combat Lao Maozi's arrogance, but you must stop it when you see it. Don't be overly impulsive!" "Yes." Wu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said: "Master, just be optimistic.  Well, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, Lao Maozi will really treat us like a sick cat. This time I want to let these Siberian wild boars know how powerful we are, and see if they dare to heal their scars and forget about the pain. " " 突 突  Suddenly  Da Da Da Da Da "nearly a hundred types of zero, the BF109 fighter was flying at this time, and fired at the attacking Soviets.  A dense rain of bullets poured down, killing Lao Maozi immediately, crying for his father and mother, and fell in pieces.  On the first position of the Northeastern New Army.  Wu Chengfeng wears a steel helmet on his head.  He took off his military uniform and was shirtless, holding an MP18 submachine gun in each hand.  mp38 At present, Zhang Xinghan has not had time to change the uniforms of the entire army. Only the 800 soldiers of the paratrooper task force have priority.  He glanced around with cold eyes like a knife.  He said with a cold and determined face: "You bastards, you are almost exhausted from being beaten and suppressed by the old man these days, right? Our Northeastern New Army has never fought such a cowardly battle since the September 18th Incident. Now,  Our air force has arrived, and the main reinforcements are just around the corner. It’s time to teach the group of Russian wild boars outside the city. Show them your courage and strength and show them whether we are vegetarians.”  Finished speaking.  The air force had almost finished its work. Under their sudden attack, the attacking Soviet army seemed to be retreating.  Wu Chengfeng didn’t waste any more time. With a wave of his hand holding the gun, he rushed forward with nearly a regiment of officers and soldiers.  Wu Chengfeng led his troops to counterattack, and the officers and soldiers guarding the front responded one after another, jumping out of the trenches and joining the counterattack.  The Soviet plane arrived at this time, and an air battle broke out immediately between the fighter planes of both sides.  "Charge! Kill!" Encouraged by Wu Chengfeng's example, thousands of Northeastern New Army infantrymen shouted slogans and launched a counterattack against the Soviet army.  The Soviet army, which was already on the verge of retreat, had just exchanged fire with the Northeastern New Army. Under the fierce firepower of the Northeastern New Army, it immediately retreated.  The air combat between the air forces of both sides was also high and low. Although the number of fighter planes dispatched by the Soviet army was equal to that of the Northeastern New Army.  But there is a huge gap in many aspects of aircraft performance.  The original encounterThe air battle turned into a one-sided massacre.  Fighter planes swish back and forth, with all firepower at full blast. From time to time, a plane will be hit, or emit thick black smoke and fire, stagger and crash, or be directly hit by a dense and violent rain of bullets and die in the air.  Of course, most of them are Soviet fighter planes.  "Commander, it's a Chinese plane. Our air force seems to be unable to withstand it." Far away from the battlefield, where a Soviet cavalry was hiding, a colonel officer on horseback turned his head and asked.  Riding alongside him was their division commander Zhukov. Attacking tough battles was not suitable for cavalry. In addition, Zhukov's 4th Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses in the battle in Manchuria.  So in this battle, Zhukov's 4th Division was still placed in a alert position.  Zhukov raised his head and looked at the fierce air battle in the sky, and sighed: "The capabilities of the aircraft of the Chinese Army are much more advanced than that of our army. The two sides are not on the same level at all. Joining such a battle is tantamount to suicide."  Ah." "Commander, what should we do?" Colonel Su Jun was a little anxious.  Zhukov looked at him angrily and thought, what should I do?  We are cavalry, do you want soldiers to use sabers to chop down planes? ???????????????????????????????? "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what's wrong, the center in the city suddenly launched a counterattack. Our offensive troops have been defeated. General Minov ordered the 4th Cavalry Division to attack immediately to intercept the enemy!" A cavalry communications soldier galloped on his horse.  Come on, the anxiety is all over your face as you speak.  Zhukov frowned and immediately said to the colonel officer next to him: "Instruct all regiments to attack immediately!" The colonel officer whipped out a bright and sharp saber, hit his horse and took the order.  The next moment, thousands of Soviet cavalry rushed out from their hiding places, their horses galloping and roaring towards the battlefield.  "Russian wild boar, don't run, haha!" Wu Chengfeng had already exhausted the magazines of his two submachine guns, and now he was holding a captured Deggarev light machine gun and firing while leading the pursuit.  The two Soviet soldiers who were running slower in the distance immediately fell down and fell into the ditch.  "Sir, look!" A soldier pointed forward and shouted at the top of his lungs.  Wu Chengfeng looked in the direction he pointed, and suddenly his face became grim. He threw away the Soviet-style light machine gun that had just been drained of bullets, pulled out his own gun, and said solemnly: "Order the troops to stop the pursuit immediately. The enemy  The cavalry is coming, hurry up! ” ps: I wish all parents of food and clothing a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. The autumn wind is back. After the 15th Festival tomorrow, I will do my best to update the code.  In addition, I would like to say that today is September 18th. Eighty-two years ago tonight, the September 18th Incident broke out and the Chinese nation began a fourteen-year arduous war of resistance. In memory of the martyrs, although we cannot remember  Although you are named, you will always exist in the hearts of future generations.  Without you throwing your heads and blood, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Long live the Chinese nation and long live the anti-Japanese heroes!  !  !  (To be continued…

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 274: Defeat the Soviet Army (Part 1) First update

    A Northeastern New Army soldier hid in a crater, holding a Garand rifle and leaning on the crater, he began to aim at the Soviet cavalry that was rushing towards them.  “Bah bang bang…” The soldier aimed at a Soviet cavalry, pulled the trigger repeatedly, and three bullets were shot out like a succession of arrows.  "Pfft" The first two bullets accurately hit the Soviet cavalry's crotch horse, but the last one missed and flew out.  The war horse that was shot immediately screamed, and its huge body suddenly fell to the ground. The huge inertia was thrown forward by the Soviet cavalry on the horse.  The force of the fall was astonishing. The Soviet cavalryman was beaten to pieces, and several ribs were broken all over his body. The severe pain almost made him faint.  Before he had time to stand up, the horses of his companions swarmed in. After the horses galloped, the Soviet cavalry had been trampled into a pulp, and he could not die anymore.  The soldiers opened fire again, and two more Soviet cavalrymen fell off their horses and died. The speed and power of the semi-automatic rifle in his hand were fully exerted at this moment.   A single Garand has this power. Thousands of Garands fire at the same time, and the resulting rain of bullets is very dense.  Coupled with hundreds of submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns, the blocking firepower of the Northeast New Army's counterattack force has become very powerful and dense.  The Soviet cavalry who charged with carbines held high and sabers were shot one after another, and some were even beaten into pieces with both men and horses.  As for the Soviet army's fire counterattack, since they were in a rapid gallop, the accuracy and intensity of firepower were completely negligible.  As the Soviet cavalry rushed closer, the firepower hit them became more intense. At this time, the rocket soldiers in the counterattack force also took the opportunity to join the battle carrying the bazooka.  High-explosive bombs were fired straight out by the bazooka rocket launcher, which made the Soviet army even worse.  The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the Soviet cavalry finally couldn't bear the huge casualties, so they turned around in a hurry and left in anger.  Looking at the corpses of Soviet soldiers and horses lying on their pillows in front of the blocking position.  Rivers of blood flowed everywhere, and Wu Chengfeng stood up from a bomb crater: "Bah, what age are you, still playing cavalry, you idiot." "Commander, please punish me for your poor command in this humble position." The Soviet colonel came in extremely embarrassed manner.  When he arrived in front of Zhukov, he dismounted and lowered his head with a guilty look on his face.  Zhukov looked at the battlefield where the flames suddenly appeared, then looked back at the scarred subordinates, and sighed: "The Northeastern New Army is well-equipped. It has strong firepower and excellent reaction speed. Our cavalry is in such a battle.  "You can't take advantage of me." After a pause, Zhukov turned to the communications soldier behind him and said, "Go and report to General Minov immediately that the cavalry assault has failed. Please ask the general to fire the artillery quickly to catch the enemy by surprise."  A signal soldier rode on his horse and took the order.  Wu Chengfeng was leading his men to clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded when suddenly.  There was a strange sound in the night sky ahead. When Wu Chengfeng heard the sound, he suddenly changed his color.  They saw countless dazzling fireballs rising into the sky, piercing the sky and roaring towards them.  "That's not good. You stupid old man is shelling, take cover quickly!" Wu Chengfeng held his neck and yelled at the top of his lungs.  The officers and soldiers had already discovered the abnormality and scattered in search of bunkers.  "Boom, boom, boom" Hundreds of Soviet 120mm, 155mm and other large-caliber heavy howitzers fired in unison.  Hundreds of cannonballs fell like beans one after another.  Suddenly there was a violent explosion that shook the earth.  Groups of scarlet fire shot into the sky, and billowing smoke suddenly filled the air.  The airmen of the New Northeast Army, who had completely defeated the Soviet Air Force in the sky, were immediately frightened when they saw this.  "Captain. Captain, our ground troops were bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery group. Please give us instructions whether to provide support." A Zero fighter pilot shouted on the intercom.  "But our bf109 fighter plane is running out of fuel and cannot continue to fight. It's over." A pilot said hurriedly.  Zhang Xinghua, who was in charge of leading the team, pondered for a moment and said: "All BF109 fighters returned immediately and flew to Qiqihar Airport. The remaining Zero fighter bombers continued to fight, targeting the enemy's heavy artillery group positions. Over." "Received!" "Received.  !" The pilots responded one after another, and the next moment, dozens of BF109s separated from the fleet and returned to Qiqihar.  The remaining aircraft took the Zero fighter as the vanguard, flying through the clouds toward the Soviet artillery positions that were being bombarded fiercely.  Looking at the enemy fighter planes roaring overhead, Zhukov, who was hiding in the woods, suddenly thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted:Voice: "No, I am so eager for revenge that I forgot about the threat of the enemy air force. However, they have been fighting with our air force for a long time and came thousands of miles away, and they don't choose to return? Aren't they afraid of running out of fuel and destroying the aircraft?  "Death?" At the moment when Zhukov was confused, more than fifty Zero fighter jets flew over the Soviet heavy artillery group like eagles in the sky.  The Soviet heavy artillery units were all equipped with a certain degree of air defense units, and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns opened fire one after another.  ??The fires on the ground shot straight into the sky, which was very spectacular.  Being attacked by ground anti-aircraft fire, the pilots were even more certain that the Soviet artillery positions were below.  They dived and swooped down one after another, and the airborne machine guns and machine guns opened fire one after another, causing considerable casualties to the Soviet air defense forces.  After a round of dive sweeps, the Soviet anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns had already misfired more than half of the time. At this time, the following bomber group began to drop bombs indiscriminately.  "俅俅俅俅" Amidst the piercing screams, aerial bombs fell freely from high altitudes, and dozens of Stuka dive bombers flew to a thousand meters below.  Accurate dive bombing.  The target is directly at the Soviet heavy artillery group.  "Boomboomboomboom" A series of violent explosions sounded one after another, and huge flames rose into the sky along with billowing thick smoke.  Amidst the fire and smoke, Soviet heavy artillery was hit from time to time. Under the huge shock wave, the polar bears were all destroyed, and were blown up like garbage by the strong wind.  The bombing lasted for nearly half an hour. The Soviet artillery group suffered heavy losses and was forced to stop the bombardment. Only then did Zhang Xinghua and his companions fly the fighter plane back to Qiqihar with satisfaction.  At the same time, Qiqihar Airport.  More than seventy C47 transport planes have completed their landing. The hatches opened, and heavily armed and burly soldiers of the Northeastern New Army filed out one by one.  After getting off the plane, they lined up by themselves.  Zhang Xinghan slowly walked out of a transport plane surrounded by Guo Zhong, Niu Erzhu and others.  The troops had already been assembled. When an officer saw Zhang Xinghan getting off the plane, he immediately shouted: "Stand at attention! Salute!" The voice was very long and loud.  Thousands of officers and soldiers present stood up and saluted with guns in one hand, and their movements were uniform and neat.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the dense forest of bayonets with a cold glow.  Asked: "Are all the troops here?" "Yes, they are all here. This is the last batch." Guo Zhong, who was following behind, replied.  Zhang Xinghan got off the plane and came to the team. He slowly swept his eyes and saw the officers and soldiers holding steel guns, with stern faces and tall postures, nodding secretly with satisfaction.  He immediately waved his hand and said: "Brothers, the battle in Hailar has reached a fever pitch. The brother troops of the 8th and 5th divisions have been fighting fiercely with Lao Maozi for many days. Reinforcements are urgently needed. Now I order the troops to set off immediately and march towards Hailar at full speed. Rush for reinforcements.  Hailar!" Niu Erzhu stood up at the right time and shouted: "Everyone is here, get in the car and let's go!" Thousands of officers and soldiers turned around and boarded the cars that had been prepared, and headed straight to Qiqihar Railway Station.  After boarding the train there, we headed towards Hylar.  Zhang Xinghan also got on the train. The main force was still on its way north and it would take some time to arrive. It was necessary for him to go to the Hailar front line in person. This would greatly boost the morale of the frontline officers and soldiers so that they could hold on until the main force reinforcements arrived.  At this time, the Hailar battlefield benefited from the full support of the air force, which severely damaged the Soviet heavy artillery unit, so the situation eased slightly.  The biggest threat to the Soviet army is their artillery, which is larger in scale than the New Northeast Army, and it goes without saying that it is powerful.  Once their artillery is eliminated, the Northeast New Army will be relieved of a major threat.  But Lao Maozi is obviously not a vegetarian. The heavy artillery unit suffered heavy losses from air strikes, and the cavalry unit also failed in the assault.  Minov was furious and ordered the air force to regroup and launch direct air strikes on the Northeast New Army's airports and other strategic locations in Qiqihar and other places.  On one side, hundreds of tanks and two infantry divisions were mobilized to attack Hylar again.  An extremely fierce battle broke out again.  In a field defense position outside the city, a Northeastern New Army soldier crawled out from the dirt and the corpses of his comrades. He looked up and saw dozens of Soviet tanks leading hundreds of infantrymen outside the position.  Come.  He no longer remembers how many times this was Lao Maozi's attack. He only knows that all his comrades around him died on the position. As for outside the position, Lao Maozi's corpses are scattered all over the place.  Not far from him, outside the trench, there were two bombed Soviet tanks.The wreckage was smoking at the moment, and occasionally small flames burned the unburnt remains of the tank.  He hurriedly searched in the trenches around him, and finally found a pack of explosives. Holding it in his arms as if he had found a treasure, the soldier bent down and followed the trenches to the wreckage of the two tanks.  Under the cover of gunpowder smoke, he hid behind the wreckage of the tank and waited for the arrival of the Soviet offensive troops.  He planned to kill another enemy tank before he died and recruit some old men to back him up.  Looking back at Hyrule City not far away, the soldier showed a trace of longing. Although he wanted to go back to the city, his company commander's previous instructions rang in his ears at the right time.  "There is an order from the division headquarters. The 3rd company must hold its position. Without orders, even if not even a single soldier is allowed to retreat, any soldier who disobeys the order will be shot on the spot" There are mountains of military orders, and the sight of former comrades dying tragically one by one appears before our eyes. Soldiers  He forced himself to retract his gaze, hugging the explosive bag tightly in his arms, waiting for the last moment to arrive.  PS: First update, did everyone have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival?  We are going all out to update from today and will never stop updating again, please wait and see!  (To be continued)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 275: Defeat the Soviet Army (Part 2) Second update

    "Boom, boom" Guns fired from Soviet tank guns and other covering artillery flew down from time to time, and some exploded violently around the soldiers.  The splashing mud fell on him, the helmet clanked, and the soldier grinned.  He poked his head out for a moment and saw that the Soviet attacking troops were less than a hundred meters away from him.  Knowing that the last moment was coming, the soldier took a few deep breaths, grabbed the explosive bag in his arms tightly, and held the fuse with one hand, preparing for the final blow.  At this moment, a roar of killing sounds like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly came from behind the soldiers.  The soldier turned around suddenly, tears bursting from his eyes.  "Kill! Charge!" I saw thousands of our own soldiers roaring and rushing over like a tide.  A group of No. 4 tanks led the way, driving at the front of the infantry.  After the two sides discovered each other, the tanks fired one after another. The guns roared and flew back and forth, and then exploded like the crowd of the other side. It was extremely tragic.  However, at a distance of only a few hundred meters, the tank's exchange of fire did not last long, and the two sides collided together like two torrents of steel.  The infantrymen jumped into the first trench where the soldiers were, relying on the trench to fire violently at the Soviet crowd just tens of meters away.  The tanks also stopped, and tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns also opened fire.  With fierce firepower, the Soviet army was blocked less than a hundred meters away.  Seeing that the enemy position was close at hand, Lao Maozi's officers and soldiers were impatient and charged in succession while shouting.  The two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire.  After a second lieutenant officer finished firing his submachine gun, he was changing the magazine when he caught a glimpse of the soldiers hiding in the wreckage of the tank outside the trench.  Suddenly he shouted at the top of his lungs: "You bastard, where are you hiding and having sex? Come down!" "Yes!" The soldier wiped his tears and jumped into the trench with a grunt.  At this time, a bullet flew out of nowhere and hit the second lieutenant on the forehead with a pop.  The movement of the second lieutenant officer's hand stopped abruptly, his body suddenly froze, and then he fell backwards with his eyes wide open.  When the soldier saw this, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Sir" "Big nose. **Your grandma!" The soldier was so distraught that he picked up the unpacked MP18 submachine gun from the second lieutenant officer's hand.  He loaded the box quickly, stood up and fired fiercely at the outside of the position.  At this time, the Soviet army had already rushed within a distance of fifty meters, and the soldiers' strafing was all within the effective range. Several old men who were charging with rifles and yelling fell to the ground one after another.  …………………… “Master, good news. The Commander-in-Chief has personally led a vanguard force to rush to the rescue. It will arrive at Hailar Station in twenty minutes.” In Hailar City, a communications officer from the Independent 5th Division  The staff officer reported to Liu Guodong excitedly.  "Really? That's great!" Liu Guodong, Li Dajun and others were overjoyed when they heard this.  "Tell Wu Chengfeng that the reinforcements led by the commander-in-chief will arrive soon. Let him hold on and boost the morale of the soldiers." Liu Guodong ordered in a deep voice.  The communications staff officer immediately took the order and turned around.  Zhang Xinghan was riding a train with reinforcements when the air defense personnel deployed on the train suddenly fired a warning shot.  "What's going on?" Zhang Xinghan was startled and stood up.  Not long after, the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong walked in from outside. He didn't even have time to salute, and said in a hurried tone: "Commander, it's bad, a Soviet air force has discovered us." Guo Zhong didn't finish his words.  Several violent explosions and intensive machine gun fire were heard outside the carriage.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the explosion outside and made a decisive decision: "Immediately order the driver to stop the train and all troops to abandon the train immediately." "Commander, abandon the train now?" Guo Zhong said with some worry: "We should stop the train at this time. How can we stop the train at this time?"  Isn’t it better to give the Soviet air force a perfect opportunity to bomb us accurately than to have them blow up the railway track while we are marching, causing the car to be destroyed and people to die?  Aviation power. The telegram ordered him to quickly send reinforcements. Also, the Soviet air force had just been defeated by our air force, but it came back, but it did not go to reinforce the Hailar battlefield. Instead, it appeared here, probably to attack our rear.  Airports, railways, highways and bridges are strategically located, so Gao Zhihang and the airport garrison must be alerted, just in case,” Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong immediately stood up and responded, turned around and took the order to leave.  Soon, the train that was traveling at full speed braked suddenly, and the next moment, thousands of people??Northern soldiers jumped out of the train and quickly ran toward the woods and fields beside the railway line.  The air defense troops on the train controlled anti-aircraft machine guns to buy time for the transfer of the main force.  Naturally, the Soviet Air Force could not stop there. Dozens of fighter planes swooped back and forth, bombing and strafing the stopped train.  Some soldiers were unfortunately hit by Soviet rain and fell in a pool of blood.  But most of the soldiers got out of the car in time and quickly moved to the fields and woods to hide.  "Boom" Several missiles accurately landed on the railway track, immediately destroying a section of the railway. The rail sleepers were driven by the shock wave and shot all over the sky, flying in all directions.  Guo Zhong and others who were guarding Zhang Xinghan's evacuation train heard the sound and turned around to see what had happened. They couldn't help but feel scared, and they admired Zhang Xinghan's decision.  "If we don't stop, if the Soviet bombing hits the railway track, the consequences will be disastrous."  Zhang Xinghan’s judgment was correct. This time the Soviet Air Force concentrated all the remaining fighter planes, and the troops bypassed the Hailar battlefield and attacked Qiqihar Airport, North Manchuria Railway Line and other important transportation arteries.  The Soviet air force encountered by the reinforcements led by Zhang Xinghan was one of them.  Seeing a large number of trains speeding toward Hylar, the Soviet pilots naturally could not sit idly by and ignore them.  Then a targeted air strike was launched.  At the same time, the main Soviet air raid group was heading towards Qiqihar Airport.  Fortunately, at this time, Gao Zhihang received orders and reminders from Zhang Xinghan. On the one hand, he ordered Zhang Xinghua and Liu Cuigang to personally lead the Air Force fighter planes to take off and fly to the airspace where the reinforcements were attacked for reinforcements.  On the one hand, arrange for the airport garrison and remaining pilots to be more vigilant and make all air defense preparations.  Zhang Xinghua and Liu Cuigang each led more than 20 BF109 and Zero fighter jets to fly about 60 kilometers away from Qiqihar.  The Soviet air raid fleet arrived in the airspace near Qiqihar, and the Northeast Army's air defense warning force immediately issued a warning.  The air defense forces at the airport quickly prepared for the battle.  The remaining pilots also hurriedly flew their fighter planes into the air to prepare for the battle.  When the Soviet army found the location of the airport, several Zero fighter jets of the Northeast Army had already taken off.  A fierce air battle broke out immediately between the two sides, and these fighters bought valuable time for other fighters to take off.  As the battle progresses.  About thirty remaining fighter jets all took off one after another.  The battle against the Soviet fleet slowly gained the upper hand and eventually turned into a massacre-style counterattack.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the Soviet military aircraft turned around and tried to escape.  The pilots of the Northeast Army flew fighter planes in hot pursuit.  At the same time, the reinforcements led by Zhang Xinghan finally evacuated the train and went into hiding.  The Soviet aircraft fleet refused to give up and continued to attack and bomb the woods and fields where the Northeast Army was hiding.  When its fuel was almost consumed to a certain extent and it was about to return, Zhang Xinghua and Liu Cuigang arrived with air force reinforcements.  The Soviet aircraft fleet was already far behind the Northeast Army's air force in terms of aircraft performance, and it had just been exhausted by a bombing raid.  There is very little fuel and medicine left.  The situation can be imagined. Except for two fighter jets that escaped by chance, the more than 20 Soviet aircraft were all destroyed and shot down one by one by the Northeast Army.  "Commander, what should we do now? Should we continue to move forward?" Guo Zhong looked at the somewhat messy battlefield and asked.  "Of course we are moving forward. The battle in Hylar is still in full swing. After passing the order, the troops ran and marched towards Hylar at full speed. In addition, they used wires to notify our air force just now and ordered them to fly to Hylar immediately without returning as fuel and medicine allowed.  Support our ground troops in combat," Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong took the order and left.  The troops immediately set off, and thousands of people rushed toward Hylar along the railway line.  As the Northeast Army, Zhang Xinghan is now worthy of the name of the Northeast King.  Thinking that today I would have to march with the troops on foot, I couldn't help but laugh.  He shook his head and said to himself: That’s all.  Since the start of the Shenyang Defense War, I haven't really done much marching on foot, so my physical fitness has dropped a lot, so I should just take it as exercise.  After about two hours of rapid march, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to Hailar.  It was already evening. Thanks to the support of the air force, in the fierce battle in the afternoon, the Northeastern Army withstood the Soviet army's fierce attack like a tide.  However, seeing nightfall coming, Su??'s offensive shows no signs of stopping.  Less than half an hour after the failure of the last attack, thousands of old men, under the cover of dozens of tanks, once again launched an attack on the Northeast Army's defense line outside the city.  The battlefield was littered with corpses from both sides, and the casualties were extremely heavy. The wreckage of destroyed tanks and armored vehicles could be seen everywhere.  Wu Chengfeng walked out of a command post a little tiredly, holding up his binoculars and looking at the Soviet attacking crowd that was swarming in like a tide.  He cursed angrily with some annoyance: "Young man with big nose is really not afraid of death. He is more stubborn than a blind man." "Deputy division commander, the reinforcements are here!" A voice like a fairy voice came into Wu Chengfeng's ears.  Wu Chengfeng suddenly felt refreshed, and when he turned around with great joy, he saw a communications soldier rushing towards him.  "Have the reinforcements arrived?" Wu Chengfeng asked in surprise: "Is the commander-in-chief personally leading the team?" "Yes, the commander-in-chief has entered the city and is organizing troops to prepare for another counterattack against the Soviet army! Let us be prepared."  The communications soldier nodded repeatedly in confirmation.  "That's great!" Wu Chengfeng was greatly cheered up, and he immediately turned around and shouted: "Give me the order, all battalions and companies should fix their bayonets and prepare to counterattack!" Please give me flowers, please vote for recommendations, please give me monthly votes!  To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    In Hailar City, the headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.  "Guodong, army, you have worked hard." Zhang Xinghan encouraged.  “I will serve my country even if I die.” Liu Guodong and Li Dajun said in unison.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, then turned to face the map and said: "The troops I brought are not many. An infantry regiment plus my guard battalion totals less than 4,000 people. I will take the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack against the Soviet army, and then continue to hold on.  Waiting for the arrival of our main reinforcements." "How are the casualties of the troops?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Our division suffered more than one-third casualties in Manchuria. After a few days of fighting, more than half of the troops were reduced." Li Dajun said with a sad look on his face.  "The situation of our division is similar. Although it did not participate in the Battle of Manzhouli, it had an encounter with Lao Maozi when rescuing Manzhouli. We were outnumbered and had no air force support, so we suffered heavy losses.  After the fierce offensive and defensive battle, more than half of the three main regiments were killed or injured," Liu Guodong followed with a look of regret on his face.  "However, Lao Maozi's casualties are only a lot more than ours. This can be judged just by looking at the proportion of corpses on both sides." Liu Guodong paused and added.  "Do you know how many troops Lao Maozi dispatched this time?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "According to the prisoner's Big Nose's confession, their east and west armies this time are called an army of 500,000 people. The Big Nose even said very arrogantly that their great Red Army will completely capture our three eastern provinces and avenge their shame." Li Dajun said nervously.  hurriedly replied.  "An army of half a million?" Zhang Xinghan frowned and said in deep thought: "It's unlikely. At this time, Lao Maozi's domestic first five-year plan has just ended, and he is making full preparations for the second five-year economy. He must also accumulate strength to deal with the coming coming.  The threat from the Western world. Coupled with the last failure in the Far East, it is difficult for them to mobilize 500,000 troops this time. A bluff is necessary." There is another reason why Zhang Xinghan did not say it, and that is that it is necessary at the latest.  At the end of this year, the Soviet Union will erupt into a purge and purge campaign that will last for several years.  It is very likely that sdl is already secretly planning this plan.  "Commander, how much do you think the total strength of the Soviet army will be dispatched this time?" Liu Guodong asked.  "There should be no more than 300,000 people, that is to say, 150,000 people on each side of the east and west, if they really have an army of 500,000. Your two divisions alone cannot withstand the fierce attack of more than 200,000 troops.  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  Liu Guodong nodded in agreement and said: "It makes sense. Even so, thanks to the hard cooperation and support of the people at the rear, the militia and the police force, we were able to barely block the Soviet offensive in Hailar." "I have long ago.  I have said that as long as we Chinese people unite, no one or country will enslave and occupy China. We will still fight this war locally. We have thousands of Northeastern elders to back us.  We are not fighting alone, victory must belong to us." Zhang Xinghan paused and turned around.  Said: "It's almost time, order Niu Erzhu to attack immediately." "Yes!" Liu Guodong, Li Dajun, Guo Zhong and others stepped forward to respond.  Guo Zhong turned around to deliver the order.  In the west of the city, on the empty streets.  At this moment, there were already full of heavily armed Northeastern new officers and soldiers.  Guo Zhong galloped over on a military motorcycle and conveyed Zhang Xinghan's military order to Niu Erzhu, the commander of the First Infantry Regiment who led the attack.  After Niu Erzhu received the order, he took a general-purpose machine gun from a soldier and said sternly: "Brothers, it's our turn for the first regiment. Use your strength and beat Gouri's big nose hard."  , charge!" More than 3,000 officers and soldiers responded with their guns raised, and swarmed out of the city like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.  At this time, the Soviet army was attacking like a wave and the offensive was fierce. The addition of these more than 3,000 fresh troops immediately greatly eased the pressure on the defenders.  And quickly turned the tide of the battle with fierce firepower, directly pushing back the Soviet attack.  Looking at the reinforcements brought by Niu Erzhu, they crossed the trenches and launched a counterattack directly towards the Soviet army.  Wu Chengfeng held a large blade he found from nowhere in one hand and a submachine gun in the other. He spat and laughed, "Fuck it, the Independent Division is really good." "You bastard.  Hey guys, the reinforcements are coming, we can’t be cowards, they’re just copycats for me, come on!” After saying that, he jumped out of the trench with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.  The garrison officers and soldiers of the 5th and 8th Independent Divisions also jumped out of the trenches one after another, followed closely with guns in hand and rushed forward with loud shouts.  Thousands of Northeastern New Army troops surged out with loud shouts, like a flood that burst a dike, and soon overwhelmed the Soviet army.The attacking troops were completely defeated.  The Soviet soldiers who had been charging fiercely just now turned around and ran away in panic, no matter how hard the supervising team behind them stopped them, it was of no avail.  Some Soviet tanks had no time to retreat due to the rapid retreat of the infantry. They were destroyed one by one by the bazookas of the new Northeastern Army and turned into balls of steel wreckage.  ……………… "Commander, the defensive counterattack was a complete victory, killing more than a thousand enemy people and injuring nothing. At present, the Soviet army has been forced to stop the attack, and the defense line is temporarily safe." At the headquarters of the Northeast New Army in Hailar City  , Guard Battalion Commander Guo Zhong reported excitedly to Zhang Xinghan.  "Okay, tell Wu Chengfeng and Niu Erzhu to stay vigilant to prevent the Soviet army from attacking at night." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong took the order and left.  "The chief of staff just called. Reinforcements will arrive no later than the morning of tomorrow. With our current strength and the full cooperation of the air force, it is not a problem to hold on for another day. Now I am worried about the battlefield on the Eastern Front. I don't know whether Wang Yicai or Wang Yicai will do it."  Can the two masters Tiehan hold on?" Zhang Xinghan said with a worried look.  "Commander, the 6th and 7th Divisions are defending according to the natural dangers of Heilongjiang Province, and with the help of the vast number of people and elders in Heilongjiang Province, there should be no big problem in holding on until reinforcements arrive." Liu Guodong said with relief.  "I hope so." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Guodong, send them electricity and ask about the latest battle situation." "Yes." Liu Guodong responded quickly.  Jiamusi, Northeast New Army Eastern Front Joint Command Headquarters.  A staff officer handed the message just received to Wang Yicai, commander of the 6th Division: "Divisional seat. The commander-in-chief is calling." The lights in the headquarters were a little dim, and Wang Yicai, who was eating, quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks.  I took the message and opened it and read it quickly.  "Yicai, what did the commander-in-chief say?" Wang Tiehan asked at the side.  "The commander-in-chief called us to ask how the war is going." Wang Yicai handed it to Wang Tiehan after reading the message.  "Oh, you can reply to the commander-in-chief and ask him to rest assured. Now that the rainy season is coming, the water level in Heilongjiang has risen sharply, and Lao Maozi's attack across the river has been blocked. In addition, the police from various counties in Heilongjiang Province have increased their military police and militia forces in time. They will hold on until reinforcements arrive.  That's a problem." Wang Tiehan smiled confidently.  "Yes, God has helped us a lot, haha." Wang Yicai thought about the heavy rainfall in the Heilongjiang Basin a few days ago, and the flood peaks from the upper reaches were overwhelming, which directly caused the Soviet army's cross-river attack to fail miserably.  And the rain didn’t stop for several days.  The water level in Heilongjiang has now risen sharply, and the water flow is rushing. The Soviet army cannot cross the river to attack.  He couldn't help laughing.  …………………… “God helps me. In this way, we have nothing to worry about on the eastern battlefield. As long as we defeat the Soviet army on the west route outside Hylar City, we will have a chance of victory.” Hylar City, received a reply  Zhang Xinghan held the message and said with joy.  "Commander, your bed has been made. Do you think you should go to rest now?" Guo Zhong walked in at this time.  Liu Guodong said quickly: "Commander, you have led the reinforcements on a long journey, and you must be exhausted physically and mentally. It's better to go and rest quickly. The army and I are watching here." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded: "Okay, then the country  Dong, please work harder, I'll go get some sleep." The next day, the Soviet army launched a large-scale attack again, and Zhang Xinghan personally went to the top of the city several times to command the troops in times of crisis.  The morale of the officers and soldiers defending the city was greatly boosted, and they all fought bravely. In addition, the air force's uninterrupted cooperation during the day provided powerful fire support.  The Northeastern New Army repelled more than a dozen fierce attacks by the Soviet army. After nightfall, the Soviet army did not continue to attack.  ??For half a month, the Soviet army and the New Northeast Army fought no less than a hundred times, and all the main offensive forces suffered heavy losses.  Not only the weapons and ammunition consumption is serious, but also the spirit is greatly weakened.  After all, they are all flesh and blood, they are all people who eat whole grains, and they also need to rest.  Therefore, this night is a precious and peaceful night for both parties.  Around ten o'clock in the morning the next day, the main reinforcements of the Northeast New Army were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th independent motorized infantry divisions, two tank divisions, and a heavy artillery brigade with more than 100,000 troops. Under the leadership of Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others  Arriving one after another.  The first ones to arrive on the battlefield were the two tank divisions. With their joining, the Northeastern New Army directly launched a full-line counterattack against the Soviet army.  The Soviet army responded with all its strength, and both sides fell into a fierce attrition battle.  With the addition of four main divisions, the Soviet army began to gradually fall behind. Two tank divisions plus four divisionsDirectly under the tank regiment, more than a thousand tanks and armored vehicles were divided into three lines and launched a fierce attack on the Soviet army with roundabouts on both wings and frontal assault.  Nearly 100,000 infantrymen from six divisions launched an all-out attack on the Soviet army on a battlefield several kilometers long.  After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops could no longer hold on and were defeated like mountains. They fled towards Manchuria.  Zhukov’s 4th Cavalry Division suffered a devastating blow from the tanks and armored units of the Northeastern New Army, and was almost completely wiped out.  At the same time, the 10th Independent Division and the other two heavy artillery brigades took the train and took the railway, passing through Changchun and Harbin, and arrived at the front lines of Jiamusi and Heihe.  So far, the Northeastern New Army has concentrated four heavy artillery brigades on the eastern front, and Gao Zhihang has also led a flying regiment to station at Jiamusi Airport.  ps: Don’t go away.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 277: Entry Robbery

    With four heavy artillery brigades and three division-directed artillery regiments, the East Route Army of the Northeastern New Army can compete with the Soviet army in terms of artillery scale.  The two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle across the river, causing damage to each other.  Due to the continuous thunderstorms in Heilongjiang, the air forces of both sides are basically useless.  On the second day of the artillery battle, the Soviet army took the initiative to stop the artillery fire due to the complete defeat of the West Route Army and began to evacuate the fighting area one after another.  On the Western Front battlefield, under the attack of hundreds of thousands of new Northeastern troops, the Soviet army was completely defeated outside Hailar City.  Zhang Xinghan ordered his troops to pursue them all the way to Manchuria. The tens of thousands of Soviet troops left behind in Manchuria were affected by the defeat of the main force.  “In addition, the Northeast New Army has gained control of the air and is always facing air threats.  So these tens of thousands of troops composed of logistics and wounded people hurriedly evacuated Manzhouli before the pursuers of the Northeast New Army arrived.  The Northeastern New Army easily recaptured Manchuria, annihilating countless small groups of captured and laggard Soviet troops along the way.  After chasing until they reached the border area, Zhang Xinghan ordered the ground troops to stop the pursuit.  It’s not that he doesn’t want to drive straight into the Soviet army’s lair, but the time has not come yet. The three northeastern provinces have been hit by wars one after another, and the people are already in unbearable condition.  The economy is already on the verge of collapse, so Zhang Xinghan cannot use troops abroad yet.  There are painful examples in history of those who ended up resorting to military force. In time, no matter how angry Zhang Xinghan was, he could only tolerate it for the time being.  However, although the ground troops stopped pursuing.  Zhang Xinghan did not restrain the Air Force from continuing its pursuit.  Instead, Zhang Xinghua, Liu Cuigang and other commanders were instructed to increase their attendance and conduct continuous air raids to pursue the retreating Soviet troops retreating from the Sino-Soviet border.  It caused considerable casualties and losses to the Soviet army.  March 23, the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933).  The Northeastern New Army achieved complete victory in the battle to defend North Manchuria.  In this battle, more than 50,000 Soviet troops were killed and injured, and countless captured.  However, due to the main force previously fighting against Japan in southern Manchuria, the independent 5th and 8th divisions and a large number of gendarmerie police units suffered heavy losses.  So the Northeast New Army also paid a considerable price in this battle.  However, Zhang Xinghan also summed up some valuable experience in this battle.  He understood that for opponents like the Soviet army, which had large-scale armored forces, their mobility was much greater than that of the Japanese army.  Coupled with the flat terrain like the Hulunbuir Prairie, unless you have an absolute advantage in strength.  Otherwise, it is basically impossible to truly keep the enemy out of the country.  In view of this.  After Zhang Xinghan's victory in the battle to defend North Manchuria, he only deployed a tank regiment and a motorized infantry regiment in Manzhouli symbolically.  The main defense force is placed in places such as Hailar and even Qiqihar.  The steps are equipped with troops to deepen the strategic depth of defense, or that sentence, change time in space.  After making some brief arrangements, Zhang Xinghan handed over the aftermath matters to Liu Guodong and others, and then took the guard battalion back to Jilin City on a transport plane from Qiqihar.  Because of the 5th and 8th Divisions.  In particular, the 8th Division suffered heavy losses in this battle. Zhang Xinghan decided to replace the above two divisions with the 2nd and 3rd divisions to station on the Hailar front line.  The 5th Division returned to Qiqihar, the 8th Division returned to Songyuan, and the Daqing area re-recruited new troops and rested and replenished.  The 9th Division and the 4th Division set off one after another, preparing to return to Changchun and Shenyang.  The Northeastern New Army's garrison strength in these areas is extremely weak, although it now belongs to the hinterland of the Northeastern New Army.  But it won’t work if we don’t have troops stationed for a long time.  On the afternoon of March 23, the 21st year of the Republic of China, about 40 kilometers south of the Yalu River, this is Sinuiju, the administrative center of Ping'an North Province in Bangzi Province.  Before 1910, Sinuiju was just an unknown border village.  Later, a river port was opened, and in 1924, the Japs invaded the Korean Peninsula.  In order to facilitate the use of railways to plunder the resources of Northeast China, the administrative center of North Pyongyang Province was moved to Sinuiju.  So far, Sinuiju has entered a stage of rapid development.  After nearly ten years of development.  This place has become very prosperous, and the population has also increased significantly.  The Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula even used this place as an important channel to communicate with the Kwantung Army in the Northeast. The strategic location is very important.  In the past, when the Kwantung Army had sufficient strength and before the situation in the Northeast worsened, the Japanese 19th Division stationed on the Korean Peninsula deployed only an infantry squadron here, plus hundreds of puppet troops. Of course, they were puppets from the Bangzi Kingdom.  military.  But as the Northeast BureauThe situation worsened and the Kwantung Army was defeated. The Japanese army began to increase the garrison strength on the Yalu River border.  The number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Sinuiju increased from more than 500 at the beginning to more than 5,000, of which more than 2,800 were Japanese troops, forming a full field regiment.  When it was learned that Dalian and Lushun had been lost one after another, the Kwantung Army had completely lost its last foundation in Manchuria.  The Japanese base camp began to order Japanese troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula to blow up the Yalu River Bridge and strengthen border defense forces.  At the same time, the tens of thousands of remnants of the Kwantung Army evacuated from the Port Arthur Fortress were transferred to the Korean Peninsula. The intention was very clear.  It is planned to use the Korean Peninsula as an overseas base as an advance base and springboard for re-attacking Northeast China in the future.  After all, Bangzi Country is no longer Chinese territory in modern times. Therefore, without special circumstances, the Northeast New Army will not cross the border to attack the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula.  “ Moreover, the North Manchuria area was currently under attack by the Soviet army, and the Northeastern New Army could be said to be powerless.  It is precisely because of this that the senior leaders of the Japanese base camp have made plans to continue to occupy the Korean Peninsula and confront the Northeastern New Army across the river.  At this time, there was only one railway bridge on the Yalu River, located in Ji'an. It was built by the Railway Bureau of the Japanese Governor-General's Office in Korea.  As April approaches, both sides of the Yalu River Basin have already bid farewell to the cold and ushered in the spring season.  Both sides of the river are lined with green trees, and the scenery is full of spring.  A railway bridge spans the entire Yalu River. It is a straight pier bridge.  There is a huge solid pier every few tens of meters.  The entire bridge is about one kilometer long and has been built for more than ten years.  There is a railway directly connected to the South Manchuria Railway branch line.  About dozens of Japanese soldiers were busy on the bridge at the moment. Not long after, a Japanese sergeant pressed the detonator.  There was a loud bang in the center of the bridge, followed by a series of violent explosions.  Amidst the billowing smoke and fire, this railway bridge, which was more than ten years old, was completely destroyed by the explosion. The bridge body broke and fell into the rushing Yalu River.  And at the same time that the Japanese army blew up the bridge, there was a port suitable for crossing the river about ten kilometers upstream.  A group of Northeast New Army tanks with the Blue Sky and White Sun emblem printed on their bodies are building a bridge.  This is the bridge-building tank of the Northeast New Army. More than twenty bridge-building tanks are stacked on top of each other.  A temporary but extremely strong steel bridge was quickly erected across the river, which was more than a few hundred meters wide.  By the port, hundreds of new Northeastern officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time drove onto the bridge in dozens of tanks and armored vehicles and crossed the Yalu River with ease.  Behind them, dozens of trucks followed and crossed the Yalu River.  After crossing the river, the team was led by Feng Zhanhai, commander of the 1st Division Tank Regiment, after the expansion of the Northeast New Army.  Zhang Xinghan organized Feng Zhanhai and others into each division.  After all, they are all patriotic generals. The New Northeast Army is now only under the control of Zhang Xinghan, so it is not surprising to use them as former Northeast Army generals.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan also carefully considered the specific appointments, such as Feng Zhanhai.  Zhang Xinghan incorporated him into Huang Xiansheng's First Division as the commander of the tank regiment. Huang Xiansheng was the former police chief of the three northeastern provinces.  It can be said that he is an old acquaintance and senior official of Feng Zhanhai.  This can not only prevent Feng Zhanhai from being dissatisfied, but also use Huang Xiansheng to calm him down. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.  For this mission, Feng Zhanhai is really happy.  To put it nicely, it means raising money and food, but to put it more simply, it means raising money and food.  That is to let him lead his troops abroad to rob.  Before departure, Feng Zhanhai made detailed preparations.  For example, a large number of military uniforms and military flags captured by the Japanese army were prepared, as well as several translator soldiers who could speak Japanese and Korean.  "Commander, did you hear the explosion just now?" A major officer took advantage of the break and came to Feng Zhanhai and asked.  "I heard something vaguely. If I guessed correctly, it was the Japs who blew up the bridge." Feng Zhanhai said lukewarmly.  "Team leader, not far below is Sinuiju. The little devils must not know that a force like ours has crossed the Yalu River. Do you think it is possible for us to attack Sinuiju and capture this place in one fell swoop?  This is the most important strategic location for the Japs on the China-North Korea border. If we capture it, it will definitely be a great achievement," the major officer said eagerly.  "You have a big appetite. We only have half a regiment, and you still want to attack Sinuiju? The division commander said before he came that the chief of staff had ordered that our mission this time is to get food.  , make money, and don’t care about anything else." Feng Zhanhai paused.?: "The deputy commander and the second battalion commander should also cross the Yalu River now. Stop talking so much nonsense and quickly let the brothers change their clothes. In addition, I will wipe out the icons on the tanks, armored vehicles and cars, and then  Let's go immediately." "Yes!" The major officer did not dare to neglect and stood up quickly.  Soon, the order was passed on, and the officers and soldiers took out a large number of Japanese military uniforms, military trousers, military caps, military flags and other items from the compartments of dozens of military trucks.  After a tense and orderly change of uniforms, hundreds of Northeastern New Army soldiers turned into "Japanese troops". Some soldiers were also covering up the blue sky and white sun emblem on the tank body.  After making all preparations, Feng Zhanhai got into an armored vehicle, waved his hand and said: "Let's go!" The major officer understood Japanese and reminded with a smile: "Leader, you have to open the way now!" "Oh." Feng Zhanhai suddenly understood.  He nodded and waved again in a decent manner: "Open the way!" Tanks, armored vehicles and cars started one after another and headed south.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 278 Returning with a Full Load

    Jingou Village is located 30 kilometers west of Sinuiju. It is a village with a population of more than 200 people.  Most people in the village have the surname Jin, and a few have the surname Li.  There is a family at the east end of the village, a family of five. The head of the household is named Jin Dazhong. Jin Dazhong has three sons.  Since the father and son are all obese dwarfs, his three sons are called Jin Dapang, Jin Erpang, and Jin Sanpang respectively.  Kim Dapang is twenty-three years old and is a puppet soldier in Sinuiju. Kim Erpang and Kim Sanpang are just over ten years old, especially Jin Sanpang who just turned ten last month.  Now I am peeing and playing in the mud with my second brother at the end of the village.  A deafening roar caught the attention of Jin Sanpang and his brother.  When they looked up, they saw a huge monster that they had never seen before roaring over.  Jin, San and Fatty were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They hugged each other and trembled all over. Their eyes were filled with fear.  A No. 4 tank stopped, and the major officer who spoke Japanese jumped out of it.  Looking at the two children in front of him, he asked in Japanese: "Children, don't be afraid. We are the Imperial Japanese Army and we are here to collect food in your village." Jin Sanpang's brother is a puppet army, and he is their prince at first sight  When grandpa came, he suddenly became less scared.  The major officer touched their heads, turned around and waved his hand: "We don't want the shooting area, just sneak into the village quietly." Several tanks rumbled into the village, and other tanks surrounded the entire village.  Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers got out of their vehicles and began a door-to-door food search operation.  Not long after.  Two trucks were loaded with food, including cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and other edible things.  The troops gathered quickly.  Before leaving, the major officer smiled kindly and stroked Jin Sanpang's head and said, "Goodbye, kid." After saying that, he turned around and got in the car.  When the heavily armed "Japanese troops" marched out of the village and left in a swaggering manner.  Only then did the people in the village dare to chase them out of their homes, wailing and crying: "My food, my food" Jin Sanpang and his second brother walked to their parents inexplicably, looking at their parents who were crying bitterly.  Jin Sanpang asked: "Dad, mother, what's wrong?" "My son, the Japanese have taken away our food. What are we going to eat?" Jin Sanpang's mother held the two brothers in her arms.  Weeping loudly.  "Isn't the Imperial Army our friends? My brother has always said so." Jin Sanpang said.  Jin Sanpang's father looked at the departing "Japanese troops" with hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "No, they are our enemies. Eternal enemies!" ……………………………… Zhang Xing got off the plane in Jilin City  Afterwards, I immediately took a car back to my home where I had been away for several months.  As soon as the car arrived at the door, Wang Ruoying ran out of it. When she saw Zhang Xinghan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes filled with tears.  "Ruoying. How did you know I was coming?" Zhang Xinghan smiled and stepped forward to hug his wife into his arms.  "When I heard the sound of the car, I felt that you must be back." Wang Ruoying snuggled into his arms, choking with tears of joy.  "Did you miss me?" Zhang Xinghan hugged Wang Ruoying's delicate body and asked with a smile.  Wang Ruoying’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she nodded slightly.  "Haha!" Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood.  He took Wang Ruoying's little hand and strode into the house.  ………………… Sinuiju, Japanese Army Headquarters.  Ichiro Inukai is the garrison commander of the Japanese 19th Division stationed in Sinuiju.  Military rank: Colonel.  "Taijun, almost all the food, livestock, food and drink in our village and several nearby villages have been robbed by the imperial army, oh no, it's all taken away." Fatty Jin Dapang knelt down and said with a flattering face.  : "Do you think we should leave some aside? Otherwise, my family and fellow villagers will starve to death." "What did you say?" Inukai Ichiro was confused when he heard this.  Big Fatty Jin thought that the Japanese were not going to admit it, so he humbly said with a cry: "Taijun, please give my family a way to survive. For the sake of my loyalty to the imperial army, give me as much food as possible."  Leave some." Inukai Ichiro was furious: "Bagayaji, what are you talking about? When did the imperial army steal your family's food?" "Taijun, everything I said is true.  , Just yesterday, a group of imperial troops drove trucks, tanks and armored vehicles and confiscated all the food from our village and several nearby villages," Big Fatty Jin said tremblingly.  "Baga." Inukai Ichiro kicked Fatty Jin to the ground and ordered an adjutant: "Immediately send people to investigate what happened, and ask each brigade whether the squadron has collected food.  " "Hai!  "The Japanese adjutant did not dare to neglect, he quickly bowed his head in response, and quickly took the order and left. Not long after, the adjutant returned and reported to Inukai Ichiro: "Your Majesty, Colonel, all the departments of the Imperial Army are sticking to their posts today.  No one left, let alone collected food.  " Inukai Ichiro was furious when he heard this, and looked at Big Fat Jin with a ferocious look: "Asshole, did you hear that?  The Imperial Army never did it.  " Jin Dapang felt like he was mourning and he hurriedly explained: "But, Taijun, the food in several of our villages has indeed been taken away by the imperial army. Now there is no rice to cook. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to take a look and find out.  .  " Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Inukai Ichiro suppressed his anger and said: "If what you told is a lie, you will die.  " ……………………… At the unnamed port west of Sinuiju, trucks loaded with grain, pigs and sheep are rumbled across the steel bridge. " Tuanzu, we have gained a lot this time.  "The major officer looked at the carts of food and said with a smile. "Yes, the damn Bangzi country is just like us. The ordinary people don't have much money and food, but the landlords have a lot of wealth. I robbed a few landlords of their wealth. I didn't expect it.  The trucks we took were all filled.  "Feng Zhanhai was also very happy. Dalian, Northeast New Army Headquarters. Huang Xiansheng walked in excitedly and said to Chief of Staff Jiang Baili: "Commander, good news, Feng Zhanhai and the others are back, the three of them are back.  The passers-by have gained a lot, and the Korean stickmen will put all their hatred on the Japanese.  " Jiang Baili smiled lightly, but said with worry: "This can only solve a temporary urgent need, not a long-term solution.  " Huang Xiansheng put away his smile, nodded solemnly and said: "What you said makes sense. It's not a problem to grab Goryeo sticks. If you want to stabilize food prices and ensure the current food supply in the entire Northeast, especially in Northern Manchuria, you have to  Think of a good way to get the best of both worlds.  " "Not only in northern Manchuria, but also in southern Manchuria. Due to the continuous fighting in the past few months, crops in many areas have been seriously damaged. This summer's harvest may not be good.  "Jiang Baili frowned and said. "Chief of Staff, do you have any good ideas?  " Huang Xiansheng asked. "There are several ways, but we can't make the decision. I'd better go to Jilin and discuss it with the commander-in-chief.  "Jiang Baili said thoughtfully. "Well, when will you set off?  "Huang Xiansheng asked. "I'll leave immediately and come back after we've negotiated.  "Jiang Baili said. "Then I'll go get someone to notify the airport and get ready.  "Huang Xiansheng said. "Yeah.  "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Then there will be a police officer, Brother Zhong.  ” ………………… Jilin City, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying have not seen each other for several months, and they miss each other very much. Last night, they had a passionate night of love, and they even performed a hat-trick and scored five times in a row.  Everything poured out. “Ruoying, get up.  "Zhang Xinghan put on his clothes, looked at his wife who was still lazing on the bed like a lazy cat, and shouted. Wang Ruoying frowned slightly and muttered: "No, I'm so sleepy. I was fucked by you last night.  After working hard for most of the night, I feel sleepy and tired. I will sleep a little longer" After saying that, he turned his body inside, revealing a pair of snow-white slender legs and smooth arms like lotus roots. Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and covered her.  Guo Zhongxing took a few breaths of fresh air and walked out of the room with a smile. The sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh.  He rushed in from outside, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, the Chief of Staff is here.  "    "oh?  Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Where is it?"  " "The main seat, Baili is here.  "Jiang Baili strode in wearing military uniform with a smile on his face. "Chief of Staff, it's been a hard journey. Have you had breakfast?  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile. Jiang Baili saluted as usual: "I just got off the plane and went straight to Jilin. I really didn't eat breakfast.  " "Well, let's have dinner with me later.  " Zhang Xinghan said. Jiang Baili smiled and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful.  "After breakfast, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili took a military jeep to the headquarters not far from Zhang Xinghan's home. This is the real headquarters of the Northeast New Army and Zhang Xinghan's base camp. &nbsp; Walking into the conference room, Zhang Xinghan asked: "The chief of staff came here in such a hurry, must he have something important to do?" "Yes, I came here overnight, firstly, to solve the food supply shortage currently faced by our three northeastern provinces.  The second problem is that our Northeast New Army will be officially reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Defense Force." Jiang Baili nodded.  "The food problem should be solved as soon as possible. The price of food in Jilin City has increased ten times compared with a year ago. If this continues, the entire food market will collapse. If the food market collapses, there will be a chain reaction.  Other industries will also suffer. How can other industries continue to do so if they don’t even have enough to eat?" Zhang Xinghan said with deep understanding.  "The chief of staff came to me in such a hurry, so he must have already figured out a solution, right?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked.  "Commander is wise, I did think of two methods, but they are extremely difficult to implement. I can't make the decision, so I come to ask you, Commander, to decide." Jiang Baili nodded.  "Oh? What can I do? Let me tell you." Zhang Xinghan said curiously.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes at Qidian.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 279: Hoarding

    Jiang Baili said immediately: "Judging from the current situation, the counties and cities in the three northeastern provinces are in short supply of food, and food prices are soaring. But we cannot rule out the possibility that some businessmen may be obstructing it, hoarding it, and making a fortune for the country. These people must have a lot of money in their hands."  Food. Also, 99% of the land in our three northeastern provinces is in the hands of landlords and gentry, but it is the tens of thousands of common people who pay taxes, and there is not much food left in the hands of the people.  The amount of grain stored by these landowners and squires is staggering." Before Jiang Baili finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan looked at him in surprise and said, "Chief of Staff, do you mean to implement gcd in the Northeast?  Policy? "The gcd has already engaged in agrarian revolution in Jiangxi. It is not surprising that Jiang Baili can come up with such an idea.  It’s just that Jiang Baili’s beliefs and thoughts are neither the Three People’s Principles nor communism historically?  Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?  This means that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will become independent from the National Government, which is definitely not a good thing for China at the moment.  As for the agrarian revolution in the Northeast, Zhang Xinghan does not want to distribute the land as evenly as possible to the people, so that the people can truly be self-reliant for a long time.  This is an extremely correct policy, and history has long proven it.  If you want to make a strong country, you must first hide wealth among the people. If the people don’t have enough to eat, how can we talk about the rejuvenation of a strong country?  Total nonsense.  As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan naturally cannot fail to understand such a simple truth.  But the time is not yet ripe for forced land reform.  That means violating the real interests of the middle- and upper-class people in the Northeast.  If nothing else, the Zhang family has fertile farmland in Shenyang.  To carry out the agrarian revolution, we must first kill his father, Zhang Yuxi.  Although my father’s job is easy to do, it’s not so easy for other landowners in the Northeast.  Once it is not handled properly, the vitality of the entire three northeastern provinces will be severely damaged.  In Zhang Xinghan’s vision, he plans to maintain the current situation, develop slowly, and drive agriculture with the rapid development of commercial industry.  When the time is right, land reform can be carried out through certain policies and economic compensation.  For example, when these big and small landowners want to do business.  To participate in all walks of life in the three northeastern provinces, one must give up land at the cost.  In Zhang Xinghan’s blueprint, the three northeastern provinces in the future will surely become the most prosperous regions in Northeast Asia and even Asia.  Industry and commerce will be extremely developed, especially military industry and related light and heavy industries.  Of course, if you want to make the landlords and wealthy landlords give up the land they have relied on for life, the price you pay will definitely be high.  But no one understands it better than Zhang Xinghan.  In the long run, land is the most valuable. It can provide food and clothing for 30 million people outside the country, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it.  And when the time comes, Zhang Xinghan can promise huge profits, similar to a loan.  Bind the landowners and tycoons to the army chariot.  They will make up for their lost interests through foreign wars.  It is somewhat similar to the colonial policies of previous centuries.  Jiang Baili shook his head and said: "The commander has misunderstood. It is the policy of the gcd to attack the local tyrants, divide the land, and carry out agrarian revolution. Baili has vowed to serve the country and the nation in the future since he was weak. He never cares about political matters.  You only care about national defense and military construction. How can you instigate the commander-in-chief to do things to split the country? How can you ignore it in the future? At least now the Chinese nation needs a unified and complete government to deal with the outside world. "  , Jiang Baili said: "So what Baili means is to buy food from these landlords and tycoons who hold a large amount of food to alleviate the shortage of food supply. At the same time, the military police and police forces in various places are strictly ordered to fully investigate whether businessmen in various places have suspicious hoarding  Once the behavior is discovered, he will be sentenced to a felony and all the grain and money found will be confiscated. "But what if the people refuse to sell the grain?" Zhang Xinghan said.  "As long as our price is right, the people will sell to us. Doesn't the Commander-in-Chief know that our Northeast New Army has a very good reputation among the people now? Besides, no one is willing to go against the government." Jiang Baili was determined.  road.  "Are we financially well off?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "I need to ask Minister Zang about this. Even if it's not enough, can I still pay on credit? As long as I have an IOU from you, Commander-in-Chief, the people won't have any worries." Jiang Baili said with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan also smiled, nodded and said: "Brother Li is going to make me the one who owes the debt. It's easy to say that the overall situation is the most important thing, so we'll do it like this.  "By the way, Chief of Staff, you need to worry more about many matters such as the official reorganization of our Northeast New Army into the Northeast Border Defense Force."  I will ask Minister Zang Shiyi to fully assist you in terms of troop establishment, personnel, logistics, equipment, etc.  After formulating it, just report it to me in the form of a document.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Okay, commander, please rest assured, I will get started right now.  "Jiang Baili accepted the order happily.    Sinuiju, Japanese Army Headquarters. After listening to the adjutant's report, Inukai Ichiro suddenly became furious: "Bagaya Road must be done by Chinese people pretending to be the imperial army.  .  The adjutant lowered his head tremblingly and said, "Sir, what should we do now?"  The Korean people's hatred of the imperial army increased. The most important thing is that villages large and small in Sinuiju are facing food shortages. If not solved in time, unexpected things may happen.  " Inukai Ichiro's face was livid with anger, his whole body was trembling, his fists were clenched with bulging veins, and he finally suppressed his anger and said: "The Imperial Army is not responsible for the life and death of the Koreans, and ordered troops to be stationed in various places. If any Koreans dare to cause trouble, they will be killed.  amnesty!  "    "yes!  "The adjutant did not dare to refute, so he had to lower his head and responded. Harbin was the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties in history. In 1115 AD, the Jin Dynasty established its capital in Acheng District, Harbin. By the end of the 19th century, Harbin  Dozens of villages have appeared, with about 30,000 residents. Economic factors such as transportation, trade, and population have begun to expand, laying the foundation for the formation and development of the city. Today, Harbin is even known as the Moscow of the East, and it is the entire northern city.  Because it was the birthplace of the Manchu Dynasty, Harbin also had the largest number of Manchu landowners. Basically, 100% of the land in the entire Harbin area was controlled by the old and young people of the Qing Dynasty and the emerging warlord landlords.  With its location and prosperous economy, merchants gathered here, and it was also the area where hoarding was the most serious. After getting Zhang Xinghan’s approval, Jiang Baili immediately found Zang Shiyi, the current logistics minister of the Northeast New Army, and started with Harbin, instructing the Harbin regional police and military police to start investigating.  As well as discussing the purchase of grain with local tycoons. Wu Qingzhong is a well-known big landowner in Acheng District, Harbin. His family owns hundreds of hectares of fertile land along the Songhua River and has enough grain to last him for several lifetimes. He also has a large property in Harbin.  He is a celebrity in the upper class of Harbin. But secretly, Wu Qingzhong is a die-hard loyalist of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. With the encouragement and support of the Japanese, Wu Qingzhong is now the underground leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty remnant.  . They attempted to restore the monarchy and overthrow the National Government. After Puyi was executed for treason, the remnants of the Zongshe Party headed by Wu Qingzhong have been secretly contacting other parties in the Northeast and Guan Dynasties in an attempt to find an opportunity to launch a grain rebellion in Northern Manchuria.  The shortage of supplies and war consumption are certainly one aspect. To a large extent, it is Wu Qingzhong and other Manchu remnants who secretly add fuel to the flames, instigating fellow merchants to join them in hoarding grain in advance, so that they can create chaos and bring down the country.  The purpose of the Northeastern New Army. When Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi started investigating, it was impossible for Wu Qingzhong not to know that Wu Qingzhong was plotting together with several representatives of landlords and businessmen in Harbin City.  After receiving the information, Zhang Xinghan has sent people to investigate whether merchants in various places are hoarding. Once found, they will be punished as a felony and all food and money will be confiscated.  And Harbin was regarded as the first target for surgery.  " As soon as Wu Qingzhong said this. All the representatives of businessmen and landowners present broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads and talked anxiously: "What should we do?  " "It seems that we have to get rid of the food in our hands quickly to avoid getting into trouble."  " "Everyone, please be patient.  "Wu Qingzhong saw this and raised his hand to stop the panicked people. He said to them: "I just said, according to the secret report I got, Zhang Xinghan, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army, has given strict orders to the people below. Once  Those who are found to be hoarding food will be severely punished. Now that you are selling food wantonly, aren't you inviting yourself into a trap?  "Brother Wu, what should we do?"  You can't just sit back and wait to be found out, right?  "A fat and big-eared landowner said anxiously. "Hey, Brother Wu, before I came here, I heard that the new military government in the Northeast planned to pay high prices to the major gentry landowners.The main purchaser of food.  Can we resell the food to them?  This way you can avoid guilt and make a lot of money.  "Another fat landowner with a pair of rat eyes suddenly said. "Brother Jiansheng, are you telling the truth?  "Other businessmen and landowners were immediately curious and asked questions one after another. Wu Qingzhong looked at the landowner named Zhu Jiansheng, nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed true, but with your status, what if you suddenly sell so much grain?  How can it not arouse suspicion?  " "Yes, yes, we should think of a way to get the best of both worlds.  "The business representatives and landowners nodded one after another. "In my opinion, if you want to avoid suspicion by the Northeastern New Army, you can only hide the grain by transferring it to someone who has grain at home to sell it on your behalf.  "Zhu Jiansheng looked at Wu Qingzhong and said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

    Zhu Jiansheng's words resonated with the businessmen and landowners present, and everyone nodded in agreement.  Zhu Jiansheng took the opportunity and said: "Among the brothers present, when it comes to family property, Brother Wu should be the leader in storing grain and fertile land. And Brother Wu has a very wide network of contacts. If we leave this matter to Brother Wu, it will be absolutely foolproof." Wu Qingzhong quickly waved his hand and said:  "Brother Jiansheng, thank you for your praise. Wu is so virtuous and capable. Moreover, this matter involves dealing with the Northeastern New Army. The danger is too great. If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed, and you will lose both your people and money. Please hire someone else."  " The fat landowner who spoke earlier saw this and said anxiously: "Brother Wu, don't say that. Brother Jiansheng was right just now. You have a wide network of contacts. No one in the North Manchuria Chamber of Commerce would dare not sell you.  Brother Wu is a very thin person. “Moreover, Brother Wu is very resourceful and you have to be careful when dealing with the government. I hope Brother Wu won’t refuse.” “Brother Li is right, please don’t.”  Refuse, we will never forget Brother Wu's kindness." Everyone nodded in agreement.  Wu Qingzhong pretended to be deep in thought, but still said with a troubled face: "It's hard to refuse your kindness, but Wu doesn't have so much cash on hand to pay for your foodand this matter is not trivial. If you are not careful, it will happen."  It will be a disaster. The safety of Mr. Wu is small. I am afraid that it will cause everyone to lose their crops." Zhu Jiansheng immediately said righteously after hearing this: "Brother Wu, you are serious.  It is already extremely risky for us to sell grain. How can we let you advance the grain payment? Well, as long as Brother Wu agrees to take the risk to sell grain for us, I, Zhu Jiansheng, will sell all the grain to you.  When will we pay again? " "Is that right, you guys?" Zhu Jiansheng glanced at everyone present with his eyes when he said this.  Everyone heard what they said.  They thought that this was indeed the case, so they nodded and said: "Brother Jiansheng is right. Brother Wu is willing to take risks for us. It is already a huge kindness. How can we ask you to advance the food payment? I agree with Brother Jiansheng!" "I  I also agree, not only that, but if everything goes well, I will also give 10% of the profits from selling grain to Brother Wu to express my gratitude," said the big landowner surnamed Li, who was among these people.  The grain harvesting is second only to Wu Qingzhong and Zhu Jiansheng.  My family also has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, so I have to be a little more generous with my spending.  Seeing that everyone was so kind and reluctant to refuse, Wu Qingzhong reluctantly said: "Thanks to your trust, I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful. Even if I risk my life this time, Wu will definitely sell the stored grain for you."  ." "Okay, Brother Wu is so kind and righteous, let's go to Fulou together today," Zhu Jiansheng said taking advantage of the situation.  "Hey, Brother Jiansheng, you're so polite. The Northeastern Army is currently investigating outside. It's not appropriate for us to be overly exposed and gather together. Let's do this. You are all guests when you come. I'll let my servants prepare the food and drinks in this humble house. We won't go home until we get drunk.  !" "Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk. Brother Wu is really happy!" "I won't go home until I'm drunk!" Everyone said.  ……………… Outside the Harbin Police Station, two cars stopped one after the other.  Several bodyguard-like men in black attire got out of the car first and stood around the car like guards.  Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi, dressed in casual clothes, stepped out of the car one after another.  A middle-aged man in police uniform quickly came forward to greet him respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zang, you've had a hard journey." "Well, Director Wang, long time no see." Zang Shiyi shook hands with him, and Jiang Baili nodded.  "Please come in." The director surnamed Wang quickly and politely said.  After entering the police station, Director Wang took Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi to a secret room that had been prepared.  After the three of them sat down, tea was already served to them.  Director Wang waved his hand to signal the man carrying the tea to go down, and then said to Jiang Baili: "Two gentlemen, please drink tea first." Jiang Baili picked up the tea cup and said: "Director Wang, you're welcome, please tell me what you have.  "Okay, according to reports from my subordinates, the major grain hoarders in Harbin City are mainly large landowners and merchants in the past. They are led by Wu Qingzhong from Acheng District, but the specific amount and location of the grain hoard are not yet known.  "I know." "Then check, we must find out as soon as possible." Jiang Baili said.  Director Wang looked troubled, and Jiang Baili asked: "Why, what's the problem?" "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Zang, you don't know something. This Wu Qingzhong is a famous leading businessman of the North Manchu Chamber of Commerce. If we really want to investigate, this  I'm afraid this incident will involve a wide range of people and involve a lot of people.The entire Harbin business community will be cleaned up, which will touch the interests of many people.  "Director Wang said with a bitter face. Zang Shiyi has been in officialdom for a long time, and he understands Director Wang's difficulties and the implication of his words, but he doesn't say much. Because he knows that this matter is not something he can decide, so he will  His eyes turned to Jiang Baili, waiting for him to make a decision. Jiang Baili immediately said: "No matter who is involved or how wide the involvement is, I will investigate it at all costs. If something goes wrong, the Commander-in-Chief is there. You, Director Wang, just investigate.  That’s it. If it’s found out, you will have done a great job and I will ask the Commander-in-Chief for credit.  " "Yes, I understand.  "Director Wang nodded in response. After giving some more instructions, Jiang Baili facilitated Zang Shiyi out of the police station. Director Wang kept sending them respectfully to the car, and then wiped his sweat and turned back. The car started to drive, and he sat in the car.  Jiang Baili looked at Director Wang who turned back to the police station and seemed to say to himself: "It seems that the investigation cannot be completely relied on the local police station. It is inevitable that some of them are inextricably linked to the local business landlords.  Naturally, it is impossible to do it wholeheartedly.  " "Then what does Mr. Jiang mean?  "Zang Shiyi looked at him in confusion and asked tentatively. Jiang Baili withdrew his gaze, paused and said: "I will immediately send a message to the commander-in-chief and ask him to borrow some manpower. With their participation, I think the investigation will be completed quickly.  There will be clues.  Jilin City, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters. Zhang Xinghan was reading a book. Guo Zhong walked over lightly, stood up and saluted: "Commander, the chief of staff is calling."  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan raised his head, took the telegram, read it, pondered for a while, and said to Guo Zhong: "Immediately inform Shen Yizhi to allocate manpower to assist the Chief of Staff. Tell him that what the Chief of Staff is investigating this time is very important, and we must do it."  Fully cooperate.  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong responded loudly, turned around and took the order.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 281: The Thief Will Never Die

    Harbin, headquarters of the 6th Independent Division of the Northeastern New Army.  After the Soviet army was repulsed, the 6th and 7th divisions, as well as the police and military police units and militiamen who participated in the war, suffered heavy losses and were ordered to retreat to Harbin, Mudanjiang and other places to rest and recuperate.  Since the specific details of reorganizing the Northeast New Army into the Border Defense Force have not yet been finalized, it is business as usual for the Northeast New Army.  Jiang Baili knew that the food crisis was a top priority, so he took the lead in dealing with this matter. Naturally, matters such as the reorganization of the troops and the establishment of personnel were slightly delayed.  In a conference room in the headquarters, Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and Wang Yicai were sitting and looking at the muscular man who had just entered the door.  That man was none other than Zhao Long, who won Zhang Xinghan's trust with his outstanding marksmanship and sniper potential when Zhang Xinghan formed the reconnaissance force.  Now he and Cheng Bin are Shen Xingye’s right-hand men, assisting him in taking charge of Zhang Xinghan’s secret service unit.  "Chief of the General Staff, Minister Zang, Commander Wang, and Zhao Long, who holds a humble position, have been ordered to come and report!" Zhao Long saluted with his burly body standing straight.  Jiang Baili nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and asked: "Zhao Long, how many people did you bring this time?" "Reporting to the audience, I have been ordered to command all the brothers in my reconnaissance camp in Heilongjiang, especially near Harbin. At present,  The available number of people in Harbin is about three hundred. If necessary, about five hundred more people can be transferred to Bingcheng within one day to assist," Zhao Long replied seriously.  Jiang Baili was secretly shocked. He knew about the existence of the reconnaissance battalion. In addition to doing his best to collect intelligence for the troops and detect the enemy's situation during the war, Jiang Baili was secretly shocked.  Usually, he is also responsible for the intelligence work in the three northeastern provinces. His work radiates military, political, commercial and other walks of life in the three northeastern provinces. All useful information will be reported to Zhang Xinghan as soon as possible.  However, the reconnaissance battalion is a special case of the Northeast New Army, and its status is the same as Guo Zhong's guard battalion.  They all took orders directly from Zhang Xinghan, and no one else could mobilize them except him.  The only difference is that the guard battalion is a force on the surface, while the reconnaissance battalion is as silent and mysterious as a ghost in the night.  Therefore, Jiang Baili has no idea how big the reconnaissance camp has grown.  How could he not be surprised when he heard that there were hundreds of agents readily available in the Harbin area alone? The development speed of this reconnaissance camp was too fast, right?  With so many people, what kind of news can be hidden from Zhang Xinghan’s eyes and ears?  Of course, Jiang Baili and the others don’t know much about the specific situation of the agents.  In fact, there are only a dozen real elite agents in Harbin.  They develop their own downlines, and their downlines follow the same example. As they develop layer by layer, the number of people increases.  Some people don’t even know who they are working for anymore. They just follow the requirements of their upline and don’t ask about anything else, and they don’t dare to ask.  Because if you are developed into a downline person and enter this industry, not only your wealth but also your life will be under your control.  Most of them may also have the handle in the hands of others.  As for the fate of the traitors, there is no need to mention that their agents have their own rules and methods.  "And Zhao Long is the chief of all the agents in the Heilongjiang area. He has any orders.  If you want to know any information, you only need to get it from the person in charge in each place.  ??Basically, it’s a single line of contact, very hidden.  Zhao Long observed the words and expressions and saw something strange in Jiang Baili's eyes.  He asked in confusion: "Why, Chief, do you think there are not enough manpower? If not, I will arrange to allocate manpower from other places." Jiang Baili and Wang Yicai looked at each other, smiled and said, "No,  No, our investigation this time is mainly because people in the army have many inconveniences. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, your people will follow up and investigate all possible people, and then provide information. As for arrests and other matters, we have our own police  It's not possible to handle it with the bureau and gendarmerie. The troops of the Independent 6th Division can also be mobilized to assist, so as long as you think you have enough manpower, it will be fine." Zhao Long nodded suddenly: "That's just a humble job.  The manpower under my command is sufficient. " "Well, time is tight. If you delay for a minute longer, something may happen. Solving the food crisis in the North Manchuria area as soon as possible is the top priority assigned by the commander-in-chief. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, you.  Let’s start the investigation. I will send someone to sort out the information we have and hand it over to you later.” “Yes!” Zhao Long responded, saluted the three of them, and turned around to leave.  …………………………… In a private room facing the street on the second floor of a pub in Acheng District.  Two well-dressed men were quietly observing the diagonally opposite side with telescopes in their hands. ?Diagonally across the street is none other than Wu Qingzhong’s home. These two people have been ordered to monitor the Wu Mansion for a long time.  In addition to the teahouse, there are reconnaissance battalion agents dressed up as various people lurking in the alley entrances of Wu Qingzhong’s front and back gate streets to monitor him.  They are either hawkers, passers-by, or beggars.  ??In a secret room in Wu Qingzhong’s home.  A voice rang out: "Brother Wu, we are about to make a fortune now. Rich Master Li and his friends have handed over all their food reserves to us." The speaker was none other than Zhu Jiansheng, who had previously performed a double act with Wu Qingzhong.  When it comes to food, Zhu Jiansheng’s eyes are filled with tears, as if he can see countless oceans swaying in front of his eyes.  "Is everything going well? No flaws were revealed, right?" Wu Qingzhong said expressionlessly, with no signs of trouble.  "Well, all the grain is transferred to our nine warehouses through our secret channels, and all can be transported away when the time comes." Zhu Jiansheng said.  Wu Qingzhong did not nod or speak.  Zhu Jiansheng said, "Brother Wu, why do we have to go to such trouble to transport this grain? Now the price of grain in the Northeast has increased more than ten times, and it continues to soar. As long as we sell this batch of grain  , which can be exchanged for a lot of wealth." "Are you willing to die?" Wu Qingzhong said with a stern look: "In order to solve the food crisis, Zhang Xinghan has sent people to investigate the matter. We are selling food at this time.  , that is to seek death by hitting the muzzle of the gun. " "We can find a way to release grain in batches, or we can use human hands. The Northeast is so big, and the market can quickly absorb the grain.  There is no way to check even if you want to," Zhu Jiansheng said a little reluctantly.  Wu Qingzhong's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent. He looked at Zhu Jiansheng who looked unwilling, then his eyes returned to normal and he said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, please don't worry, after this matter is completed, I will not treat you badly.  All the Wu family's properties in Harbin will be transferred to Brother Zhu as a reward for helping me this time. "Brother Wu, are you kidding me?" Zhu Jiansheng looked at Wu Qingzhong in disbelief.  Wu Qingzhong nodded steadily and said: "A gentleman will never break his promise." Zhu Jiansheng suddenly remembered something and said with a look of embarrassment: "But Brother Wu, you took all this food away, what will happen afterwards?"  Rich Man Li and the others will definitely ask me for food, and I will definitely not be able to stay in Harbin anymore." Wu Qingzhong suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Jiansheng, isn't this a difficult thing to do before we can transfer the food?  Tomorrow, I will hand over all the land deeds to you. You can secretly find a buyer, sell them all, and then take the money and leave these three eastern provinces, including Pingjin and Jiangnan, or go abroad. From now on, you can be free and carefree.  ." Zhu Jiansheng thought for a while, nodded and said to Wu Qingzhong: "Brother Wu is so kind and righteous, just speak up whenever you can help me." "It's easy to talk." Wu Qingzhong smiled.  said.  After sending Zhu Jiansheng away, Wu Qingzhong just returned to the secret room.  A man in a suit appeared in the secret room without anyone noticing.  "What a plan. This man is greedy for money, so he can be used by us. He can cover our eyes and attract the attention of those outside so that we can do our best." The man said calmly.  "Haha, he is just a nobody who claims to be smart, but he has some value." Wu Qingzhong laughed.  "Brother Wu, the Wu family's industry in Harbin is not small, so you are willing to throw it away like this?" the man asked.  Wu Qingzhong put away his smile: "Compared with our great cause of restoring the country, what are these external things? Moreover, if you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. If the Wu family gives up their ancestral business today, it will be worth it in exchange for our full population in the future.  " "Okay, very good. Brother Wu is indeed my absolute loyal minister to the Qing Dynasty. I will tell everything to Crown Prince Xian Zhang." The man nodded in praise.  "How is the situation in Southern Manchuria?" Wu Qingzhong asked.  "Everything is under the control and planning of the organization and is proceeding in an orderly manner. Your task is to ensure that this batch of food reaches its destination safely and on time. "Short-sighted people like Zhu Jiansheng actually want to resell these troubled times gold and make money. It's really  It's completely stupid. We now control more than 60% of the grain surplus in the Northeast, and due to the war, the vast majority of crops in southern and northern Manchuria have been severely damaged by the war. It is not difficult to predict that the food production will be greatly reduced in the coming year. As a result,  The three northeastern provinces are bound to experience an unprecedented food shortage. At that time, our opportunity will come, the Japanese, Zhang Xueliang and the Russians.?Suffered the loss of Zhang Xinghan.  The Northeast is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. Once the time is right, we can take the opportunity to start an uprising, seize power in the Northeast, and restore our country.  And this food, known as the gold in troubled times, is the foundation of our uprising. With them, recruiting troops and horses will be a piece of cake.  "The man's face was a little excited and longing. Wu Qingzhong also nodded and said solemnly: "I hope my ancestors will bless everything well. We and our descendants will definitely take back our Manchu country and restore the glory of our Qing Dynasty!  " As soon as Zhu Jiansheng left Wu Qingzhong's home, he was targeted by the Northeastern New Army agents who were ambushing outside. But at this moment, Zhu Jiansheng was already completely immersed in the great excitement of owning the Wu family's property, and was thinking of ways to combine the two families.  I sold my property for money and fled with the money. I didn’t even realize that I was being targeted. ps: Huhu, that’s it. I went to a full moon party hosted by a friend today and drank too much. I’m forcing myself to write this.  Sorry. I originally wanted to write two chapters today. To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novel will be better and updated faster!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 282: It’s easy to hide from an open gun

    In a room of a hotel in downtown Harbin.  Two young men in suits and leather shoes were respectfully reporting to Zhao Long, who was sitting on the sofa, with their heads lowered.  "Deputy Chairman, according to the latest information obtained from the investigation, Zhu Jiansheng, who is also a landlord and businessman in Bingcheng, has been closest to Wu Qingzhong recently, and his behavior is very suspicious." One of them said.  Zhao Long played with several guns on the table in front of him and said casually: "Keep an eye on him and report any problems immediately." "I have sent someone to keep a close eye on him." The man lowered his head and said.  "Yeah." Zhao Long nodded and asked, "Are there any clues about food?" "Not yet." Another person answered.  "According to the information we have so far, the trading houses under their names, including Wu Qingzhong, Zhu Jiansheng and others, have more or less records of purchasing grain. This is only on the surface. In private, they are doing normal business.  We don’t know how much grain the committee purchased under cover of the epidemic, but in the past few months since last year, the food shortage in Harbin and even in southern Manchuria has been slowly increasing at a considerable scale, and the food surplus in people’s homes has become less and less.  The flow rate is also decreasing day by day. If these grains were not hoarded by thoughtful people, would they disappear out of thin air? "So, people like Wu Qingzhong are definitely not involved." Zhao Long paused and thought for a moment, "Give it to me."  Order to continue, in addition to closely monitoring Wu Qingzhong and other important merchants, additional personnel should be deployed at all important intersections in and out of Harbin, and any abnormalities should be reported immediately!  The agent leaders hurriedly bowed their heads in response, and immediately took the order and left.  ………………………… Harbin Railway Station, a middle -aged couple took her luggage with her luggage.  The woman looked at her somewhat overly mature attire, took the man's hand and asked in a low voice, "Xinghan, why do we dress like this?"  " "Honey, don't call me Xinghan anymore. Call me Hani. This will make you appear foreign."  Only then can it match your status as a returnee girl.  "Zhang Xinghan had put on make-up on his face at this time and had a thick beard. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, but he was still the handsome young general. He looked like a middle-aged uncle, while Wang Ruoying was dressed in a very western style, wearing tight leather pants and high heels.  The leather boots highlight her slender and graceful figure, and she looks particularly handsome with a black coat. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, and her skin is as beautiful as snow.  Fang Wu. The two servants behind them are strong and sharp-eyed, and they are the first-class experts in the reconnaissance battalion. Not far away from them, the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong also put on makeup.  He was followed at a distance by a group of plainclothes guards equipped with weapons and skills. “I got it, my dear!  "Wang Ruoying covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. After leaving the station, there was already a driver pretending to be a reconnaissance battalion agent waiting in a car. After Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying got in the car, the agents understood and started the car and drove towards the city. Guo Zhong took the lead.  The guards then quietly got into several pre-arranged cars and followed. “The simultaneous food crisis in southern and northern Manchuria must be caused by someone operating behind closed doors.  Moreover, this person can influence the food supply of the three northeastern provinces, which is the basis for the stability of the three northeastern provinces.  Its ambition, purpose and strength should not be underestimated. The chief of staff was ordered to come to investigate this time, which would be a bit of a surprise.  Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Wang Ruoying answered: "I understand. What you mean is that Mr. Jiang Baili investigated openly, while we carried out the investigation in secret, one overt and one covert, cooperating with each other. As the saying goes, it is easier to hide with an open gun than to hide with a hidden arrow."  Defense, that's the truth.  " "My wife is worthy of being the queen of the general family. She is so smart.  "Zhang Xinghan quietly placed a big hand on Wang Ruoying's plump buttocks, kneaded it wantonly, and said with a smile. Wang Ruoying rolled his eyes at him, leaned close to his ear, blushed and whispered: "You dead man  , Don’t be here, there are outsiders” Zhang Xinghan smiled dryly, took back his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and started smoking happily. The car drove quickly through the bustling urban area, and there were closed grain stores everywhere along the way.  , Occasionally someone sells a small amount of grain, but it is all sold out in an instant. “Damn it, a good city is going to be ruined by these three buckets of rice?  These people have really sinister intentions.  "Zhang Xinghan was a little angry. "Food is the most important thing for the people. Food has been the most precious thing since ancient times, especially in this country with frequent wars.In this era, being able to have enough to eat is the wish of countless people.  Therefore, once food is cut off, the consequences will never be less than a war.  "Wang Ruoying seemed to be inspired by this. Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but nodded silently while smoking. Not long after, the car arrived at the hotel they had booked. The two attendants helped them take their luggage in, and then entered  There was a room next to Zhang Xinghan. After a long train journey, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying walked into the bedroom. Zhang Xinghan went to the comfortable big bed, stretched his body, waved his hand to Wang Ruoying and said with a bad smile: "Wife.  "    "Um?  "Wang Ruoying was looking at the furnishings in this room and responded softly. "Come here.  "Zhang Xinghan hooked his fingers at her. Seeing his expression, Wang Ruoying didn't know what he meant. She immediately rolled her eyes at Zhang Xinghan, but still walked over obediently. As soon as she reached the bedside, she was grabbed by a big hand.  Yuzhu dragged him to the bed "Ah!  "Wang Ruoying let out a sweet cry, and then she lay on Zhang Xinghan's body. Looking at each other, Zhang Xinghan pecked her red lips and said affectionately: "Ruoying, you are so beautiful.  "Wang Ruoying's face was blushing, her breathing was a little rapid, and her breasts were severely deformed when squeezed against his thick chest. Suddenly, she felt two big hands covering her buttocks, kneading them through her leather pants. "Shocked  Before he could even breathe out, his mouth was blocked by Zhang Xinghan. Under Zhang Xinghan's skillful attack, his teeth quickly fell apart. Wang Ruoying's body was quickly moved by Zhang Xinghan's up and down attack.  It became hot. Zhang Xinghan knew that the time was right. He turned over and pressed her down, and began to peel off her clothes one by one skillfully and roughly. Soon Wang Ruoying made a sound that sounded like pain.  A comfortable squeaking sound was followed by a crackling sound that aroused endless reverie. Wang Ruoying was soon lost in the sea of ??joy, and she cried out.   Quanjude Restaurant is located in the most luxurious section of the center of Harbin New Town (today's Acheng District). It is the most famous place in New Town and the whole of Harbin. It is famous because this Quanjude Restaurant was a century-old restaurant in the Qing Dynasty.  Passed from Peking, Quanjude’s development over the past few decades has made Quanjude unprecedentedly large and famous. Passengers and merchants would gather here to discuss business. Therefore, it has gradually become synonymous with Harbin’s business center.  If you want to find someone to do business with, it’s right to come to Quanjude. Zhang Xinghan drove to Quanjude with two sturdy entourage. Wang Ruoying had just been tortured twice, and Zhang Xinghan was very tired from traveling all the way.  He asked her to follow him, but asked Guo Zhong to stay in the hotel to rest. He took the people to Quanjude and got out of the car. Zhang Xinghan walked towards Quanjude, followed by two bodyguards.  The entourage quickly attracted the attention of a young man hiding at the entrance of Quanjude. After Zhang Xinghan led the people in, the young man found a companion and whispered: "Go and inform Brother Hu.  A new face came.  "In a private room on the second floor of Quanjude, Zhu Jiansheng was pacing back and forth anxiously. Suddenly. The door was knocked several times. Zhu Jiansheng asked: "Who?  " "Boss Zhu, it's me.  "A man's voice came from outside the door. Zhu Jiansheng was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly walked over to open the door himself. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt standing at the door. Zhu Jiansheng quickly smiled and said solemnly: "Boss Wang Zhu  I've been waiting for you for a long time, please come in.  " After the man surnamed Wang came in, Zhu Jiansheng quickly and carefully closed the door. Two bodyguards wisely guarded the door. "Boss Zhu, I'm really sorry. There were some things that needed to be dealt with urgently, so I came here.  It's a little late, I hope Boss Zhu doesn't blame me.  "The man surnamed Wang bowed his hands to Zhu Jiansheng. Zhu Jiansheng said with a smile: "Boss Wang, you can take time out of your busy schedule to come and see Zhu. Zhu is already grateful. How dare I blame you?  What's more, you came not too late.  "Zhu Jiansheng asked for help, and he called himself his younger brother as he spoke. The man surnamed Wang is also an extremely cheerful person. After sitting down, he got straight to the point and asked: "I wonder why Boss Zhu is so anxious to find me?  ” Zhu Jiansheng?He stopped being polite and said immediately: "To be honest, Zhu came to Boss Wang this time because he hopes you can help Zhu sell some land and real estate." "Oh? Boss Zhu wants to sell property?" The man named Wang  Somewhat unexpected.  "Yes." Zhu Jiansheng nodded.  “I wonder which places Boss Zhu wants to sell?” asked the man surnamed Wang.  Zhu Jiansheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to him and said: "Boss Wang's situation, the lot Zhu wants to sell and the number of acres of land are all on this." Boss Wang took it and looked at it, changing his color slightly and looking up in surprise.  He looked at Zhu Jiansheng and said: "Boss Zhu, as far as I know, these are all Wu Qingzhong and Boss Wu's properties. What, are you running errands for Boss Wu?" "To be honest, Boss Wu has sold these properties.  I gave it to my little brother. You know the situation of my little brother’s family, and they also have some real estate and shops, so I want to sell the property I bought. Firstly, I want to make a profit from the difference. Secondly, I still owe money.  I still have half of Boss Wu’s money,” Zhu Jiansheng said.  "No wonder." Boss Wang suddenly nodded: "These properties can bring a lot of profits in one year. I wonder why you, Boss Zhu, are willing to sell them. It turns out that you still owe debts. But thinking about it,  The scale of the Wu family's industry is not small. If they want to merge and acquire them all at once, it would be difficult to come up with so much cash in such a hurry. But I am a little curious as to why Boss Wu suddenly sold his property to you, Boss Zhu.  "(To be continued.

    "This" Of course Zhu Jiansheng would not tell the truth, but would pretend to be difficult.  Boss Wang is also a person in the industry, and there are rules in the industry. He quickly laughed and said: "I understand, I understand, Boss Zhu, don't blame me, it's Wang who talks too much." "Boss Wang, what are you talking about?" Zhu Jiansheng's expression changed and said: "Then  The truth about this middleman." Boss Wang immediately patted his chest and said, "Thanks to you, Boss Zhu, this matter will be taken care of by Wang. I will inform you as soon as there is news." Zhu Jiansheng was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile.  "Thank you very much, Boss Wang. Don't worry, Boss Wang. Once this matter is successfully completed, you will be satisfied with the introduction fee." Boss Wang smiled heartily, nodded understandingly, and stood up to leave.  Zhang Xinghan and two followers came to a corner and found a table to sit down. He glanced back and saw Guo Zhong and several guards following him in.  Guo Zhong glanced at Zhang Xinghan, nodded slightly, and then scattered into the lobby with his men.  A waiter walked over quickly carrying a teapot and a towel on his shoulder. He wiped the table with a towel first, then poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Xinghan and the other three, and then asked with a smile: "What do you three want?  "Bring us half a pound of roasted knives, two pounds of soy sauce beef, half a pound of peanuts, and a few hot dishes." Zhang Xinghan casually ordered a few dishes.  "Okay, please wait a moment, and we'll be here soon." The waiter stepped back respectfully, but after taking a few steps, he heard the chef shouting: "Half a pound of roasted knives, two pounds of soy sauce beef for table 13"  Quanjude is indeed the number one restaurant in the new city, and the speed of serving food is first-rate. It didn’t take long for the party to arrive, and the child came over with a smile on his face, carrying hot food and wine.  "My lord, please take your time with your food and wine." The waiter respectfully placed the food and wine on the table one by one and lowered his head in salute.  Zhang Xinghan took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, little brother." A follower had already taken the jug and poured Zhang Xinghan a glass first.  The waiter in the shop borrowed money.  He suddenly smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you very much." "Little brother, I want to ask you something. I am a businessman and just came to Bingcheng from Peking." Zhang Xinghan looked around and asked.  "You see, please tell me." The waiter said respectfully.  "I have always heard that our Quanjude Restaurant is a gathering place for Bingcheng's big businessmen, and all kinds of business transactions are discussed here. Is this true?" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Sir, you are a businessman. If you come to Quanjude, you have come to the right place. I am not bragging, 90% of the business in Bingcheng is from Quanjude." When the waiter mentioned this, he suddenly became energetic and spoke.  Quite proud of himself.  "Really?" Zhang Xinghan pretended to be surprised, showing great interest, and said: "Then I really came to the right place this time. I wonder if my little brother can introduce to me how to communicate with other bosses.  How about discussing business and making a deal?” The waiter looked back and looked around to make sure it was not very busy and there was nothing going on.  Then he turned back to Zhang Xinghan and said, "I wonder what kind of business you are doing, boss?" "Me?" Zhang Xinghan laughed and said, "I do all kinds of business, including grain, land, and real estate. Everything related to people's daily life.  I have dabbled in it, which can be summed up in one sentence: as long as I can make money, I will do anything!" "Oh." The waiter looked at Zhang Xinghan carefully again.  Seeing that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary equipment, he looked like a man of great wealth.  Feeling like he was lying, he said: "If the boss wants to discuss business, just come to us, Quanjude." "Oh? How do you say this?" Zhang Xinghan asked pretending not to know.  The waiter did not answer directly, but paused.  Zhang Xinghan winked at an attendant, who immediately took out a handful of money, worth about a dozen yuan, and placed it in the shopkeeper's handbag.  The waiter put all the dozen yuan into his pocket and suddenly beamed with joy: "I wonder what your boss's surname is?" "My surname is Zhang." Zhang Xinghan said with a slight smile.  "Boss Zhang, this is your first time coming to Bingcheng. You are still confused about the rules of our Bingcheng shopping mall. I will give you a brief introduction. If you want to do business in Bingcheng, Quanjude is your first choice.  We can quickly find the right buyer for the seller, and we can also find the most suitable source of goods for the buyer. After the transaction is completed, both parties only need to pay us a certain fee based on the size of the transaction." Zhang Xinghan suddenly clicked.  Nodding, it seems that it is similar to the information obtained. Quanjude is an existence similar to an agency and a third-party guarantee company.  Belongs toUtilizing institutions, relying on the credit and prestige accumulated over the years, do a good business of "pulling matchmakers and pulling strings" to make money on both sides.  "Then, little brother, I want to invest in some industries in Bingcheng. I wonder if your restaurant has any suitable supply recommendations?" Zhang Xinghan continued to ask.  "Boss Zhang, you need to talk to our boss about this. However, Boss Zhang is a man of justice and generous. I will go and report it to you." The waiter saw Zhang Xinghan being generous and dressing up like an ordinary person, so he thought he was from out of town.  The wealthy businessman, thinking about the benefits, said enthusiastically.  "Then thank you, little brother. If I can make a deal this time, the benefits will be indispensable to my little brother." Zhang Xinghan said with cupped hands.  "Boss Zhang, you're welcome. Please wait a moment. I'll go right away." The waiter lowered his head and left immediately.  Zhang Xinghan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. A spicy burning sensation immediately filled his mouth. After the glass of wine, there was already a slight burning sensation in his stomach.  Smash it, slap it, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but nod and praise: "Good wine, it is truly an authentic Shao Knife." The entourage had already filled it up quickly.  Zhang Xinghan took a piece of fragrant soy sauce beef and ate it happily. He did not forget to say to his two followers: "You guys can eat too. This dish tastes good. Just drink less wine." In a secret room on the second floor of Quanjude, what happened just now  The waiter said respectfully to Boss Wang, who had just returned: "Boss, there are a few new faces at table 13. They seem to be quite capable. They want to discuss business with you, boss." "Fresh faces?" A flash of light flashed in Boss Wang's eyes.  alert.  "Yes, I claim to be from Guannai. Judging from the accent, it's true that I'm not from the Northeast." The waiter lowered his head and replied.  "What kind of business do you do?" Boss Wang sat on the chair with his legs crossed, picked up the cigarette bag, lit it, squinted his eyes and started smoking beautifully.  "He said that he is involved in all walks of life, including food, real estate, and land, and he can do whatever makes money." The waiter said.  Unexpectedly, Boss Wang's expression changed, he banged the cigarette pot and pot on the table, and said angrily: "Damn it, he can do anything? Are you asking him if he can do airplanes and cannons? I'm the most annoying person to talk nonsense to me.  !” The waiter was so frightened that he became silent.  "Go and tell him that if you want to negotiate business in Quanjude, you must first put out a deposit of two thousand yuan. I want to see if it is true or not." Boss Wang paused and ordered.  "Yes!" The waiter didn't dare to disobey, nodded quickly, turned around and left.  To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    Zhang Xinghan and the other two were eating hard when the waiter came over with a guilty look on his face.  Observing words and expressions is already an instinct for Zhang Xinghan. Every move and expression of the waiter in the shop falls in his eyes.  "Little brother, you are here, how is my matter?" Zhang Xinghan asked lukewarmly, giving people a sense of pressure.  The waiter just accepted Zhang Xinghan's favor. As the saying goes, he is short-handed and soft-spoken. He felt a little guilty. When Zhang Xinghan asked him, he quickly said apologetically: "Boss Zhang, I'm really sorry. Our boss said that this is your first time."  To do business in Quanjude, you need to pay a deposit of two thousand yuan before he can help you arrange the supply of goods." As soon as the waiter said this, Zhang Xinghan's two agents immediately changed their colors and stood up.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand for them to sit down, and said with a smile: "Two thousand silver dollars, right? I don't have so many silver dollars with me. Please tell your boss, little brother, that I will deliver two thousand silver dollars in half an hour.  Please also ask him to help me arrange the supply of goods as soon as possible." "Okay, I'll tell our boss now." Seeing that Zhang Xinghan didn't mean to blame him, the waiter secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.  After the waiter left, Zhang Xinghan whispered to an accompanying agent next to him: "Go and transfer two thousand yuan immediately and deliver it within an hour." "Yes!" The agent nodded happily, then stood up and left.  At this time, the National Government had not yet issued legal tender, but the world currency war had already broken out two years ago.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The British Empire has abolished the gold standard circulation system, but China still uses silver dollars as currency.  Not only is it inconvenient to carry and transport.  It is also easy to cause the outflow of silver, and all national strength will be lost.  It seems that after the food crisis is over.  It's time to find a feasible way to issue banknotes in the Northeast to gradually replace the silver dollar.  After the agents left, Zhang Xinghan thought to himself.  Boss Wang agreed to Zhu Jiansheng's commission, which put his worries at ease.  At this moment, he was humming a little tune and walking downstairs with small square steps, his hands behind his back.  Zhang Xinghan was drinking tea and looking around the restaurant lobby when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhu Jiansheng.  Zhang Xinghan has never met Zhu Jiansheng, so naturally he doesn't know him.  “ I just saw Zhu Jiansheng walking and pretending to be cool, so I looked at him slightly.  About forty minutes passed.  The accompanying agent who left came back, and came in carrying a box with the driver.  The waiter immediately informed Boss Wang. After hearing this, Boss Wang smiled playfully: "It's fast enough. It's interesting. Bring him to see me." He didn't expect that Zhang Xinghan would agree so readily to his somewhat difficult conditions.  The money was brought over in less than an hour.  This shows that he is no ordinary person. As for whether he is a liar, Boss Wang will only know after a while.  However, at this time, his mind had changed compared to before. No one would easily cheat with two thousand yuan in cash.  "Boss Zhang, our boss invites you to come up." The waiter said in a respectful tone.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, stood up and followed him upstairs, followed by two agents carrying the box.  Under the leadership of the waiter, Zhang Xinghan and the other three came to a private room.  The waiter opened the door and said solemnly: "Boss Zhang, please!" Zhang Xinghan strode in with his head held high, and two agents followed closely behind him carrying boxes.  This is an elegant room with an area of ??20 square meters. Two Eight Immortals tables are placed together to form a rectangular table similar to the one I often use for meetings.  A fat, balding middle-aged man sat at the other end of the table. Behind him, two burly men in black suits stood like javelins.  Zhang Xinghan walked to the table.  He calmly raised his hands and said: "I, Zhang Guiren, have long admired the name Quanjude. I am here to visit you today." This guy came up to the road. Boss Wang was well-informed. Seeing Zhang Xinghan's respectful manner, he stretched out a hand and said: "Zhang  Boss, please take a seat!" Zhang Xinghan was not polite. He pulled up his chair and sat down. He looked at the bodyguards behind him and Boss Wang opposite him. Zhang Xinghan was secretly amused. It felt like a gang negotiation.  After sitting down, Boss Wang was very direct and asked: "My guys should have told you the rules, have you brought the money?" Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded, waved his hand, and an agent immediately came up  He put the box on the table and opened it.  The box was full of shining silver coins. Zhang Xinghan turned the box to Boss Wang and said with a smile: "Two thousand dollars are found in the ocean, please check with Boss Wang."?.  "Boss Wang winked at a bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard nodded in understanding and stepped forward to check. "Boss, that's right.  "The bodyguard in black turned to Boss Wang and said. After stroking his bald head, the bodyguard in black had already taken the box over. Boss Wang's smile gradually widened and he asked tentatively: "Okay, Boss Zhang is really happy. I don't know what your plan is.  What sources do you want?  " "These are troubled times, and it is difficult to do any business. Only food, the gold of troubled times, is slightly better.  "Zhang Xinghan caught a glimpse of Boss Wang's face changing slightly, and then said: "Of course, real estate such as Liangtian and Fuzhai are also good.  "Boss Wang asked doubtfully: "Boss Zhang, these three eastern provinces are now in short supply of food. Didn't you know this along the way?  Zhang Xinghan deliberately showed the face of a profiteer and said: "I know, of course I know. This is how you can make money by selling food. Boss Wang, right?"  "Boss Wang laughed heartily. Damn it, people doing business these days are all profiteers, but I like it. "Boss Zhang, seeing that you are also a straightforward person, I will tell you a few words of truth.  , I am not speaking out loud. Now in this Ice City, or even in the entire Northern Manchuria region, if you want to buy grain, you will definitely not be able to get a grain of grain.  " "I heard something along the way. Is it possible that the food shortage in the Northeast has reached such an extent?  "Zhang Xinghan moved slightly. "Of course. Take our Bingcheng as an example, the people can hardly eat.  Where can I still buy food?  Dozens of grain stores in Xincheng have long been closed.  "Boss Wang said. Zhang Xinghan pretended to be disappointed and said in annoyance: "Is Zhang's trip out of isolation this time going to be in vain?  Sigh" Boss Wang's heart moved. He said: "Boss Zhang, don't be discouraged. The grain business can't be done, but I do have some land, real estate and shop supplies in my hands. I don't know if you are interested.  "    "oh?  Is it big in scale?  If it's too little, it won't be very interesting.  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Haha, Boss Zhang is so loud. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle this supply alone.  "Boss Wang suddenly laughed. "Boss Wang, please rest assured, no matter how big it is.  Zhang can accept it. I don't like to do small business when doing business. If I don't do it, I will do it.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Okay, what I want is your words.  "Boss Wang stood up as he said this. The seller this time is a well-known big family in our new city, with all the land in his name. The real estate shop plans to sell it all at once." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan still has some understanding of Jiang Baili's investigation.  He asked curiously: "I wonder who this big family's name is? Why do they want to sell their property?" "The seller is a well-known big family in our new city. He has shops all over Harbin, dozens of properties, large and small, and hundreds of hectares of fertile land at home.  "As for the owner's name and why he sold his property, Boss Zhang doesn't have to ask. This is our rule in Quanjude. Regardless of the buyer or seller, we will never ask about the reason. "Boss Wang finished.  He looked at Zhang Xinghan with a smile and said, "Boss Zhang, I wonder if you can afford this deal?" "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Without getting too involved, if you want to know the identity of the seller, as long as you have access to information about the real estate and shops they want to sell, you can investigate the name of the owner of the household.  "From what Boss Wang said, the scale is really quite big. I've accepted this deal. Please ask Boss Wang to help me arrange a time to meet with the owner, so that we can discuss the price and other matters in detail." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Of course, after collecting your deposit, Mr. Wang will definitely find time to handle this matter as soon as possible. Please tell Boss Zhang where you live and wait for my notification." Boss Wang stood up and said.  ……………… After leaving Quanjude and getting into the car, Zhang Xinghan ordered the accompanying agents: “Investigate as soon as possible which big households in Xincheng will sell off their properties in the recent period, and report to me as soon as there is any news.  " "Yes!" the agent responded and got into another car.  “Deputy Chairman, Zhu Jiansheng went to Quanjude today.” An agent reported to Zhao Long in a secret stronghold in the reconnaissance camp.  "Quanjude? Where is he going? Talking about business?" Zhao Long asked doubtfully.  "I don't know, it was the boss of Quanjude, Bald King, who personally met him. The content of the conversation is currently unknown," the agent replied.  "How is Wu Qingzhong's family doing?" Zhao Long asked again.  "There has been no movement for the time being. Daily life in the Wu family is going on as usual, and there is nothing unusual." The agent said.  “Wu Qingzhong and Zhu Jiansheng had a good relationship in the past.There have been purchases of grain to varying degrees within the past six months. Is Zhu Jiansheng the mastermind of this matter?  Zhao Long pondered for a while and then ordered: "Monitor him closely and try to figure out his purpose of going to Quanjude."  "    "yes!  "The agent responded and was ordered to leave. "Early the next morning, someone came from Quanjude. It was the waiter who greeted Zhang Xinghan yesterday. "Boss Zhang, our boss asked me to inform you that we will go to Quanjude at ten o'clock this morning. The boss has agreed  Met with you.  "The waiter said to Zhang Xinghan respectfully. "Okay, go back and tell your boss that I will be there on time.  "Zhang Xinghan stood at the door and nodded. "The young one will go back first.  "The waiter turned and left. "Xinghan, who was that just now?  "Wang Ruoying walked out of the bedroom in disheveled clothes and with sleepy eyes. "I was tortured by Zhang Xinghan for half the night last night, and I haven't woken up yet." Zhang Xinghan closed the door and looked back to see Ruoying's snow-white body looming, bathing in the fire again  He jumped up. He stepped forward and picked her up. "Ahwhat are you going to doso early in the morning" Wang Ruoying screamed in his arms. "Do something you love."  "Zhang Xinghan carried her to the bed and said with a lewd smile. "I hate it, I didn't ask for enough last night" Wang Ruoying's cheeks turned red and she rolled her eyes at him shyly. "It's not enough, it won't be enough in a lifetime"  "Before he finished speaking, Boss Zhang had already pounced away. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 285: Mysterious Disappearance

    After some sex, Zhang Xinghan left the hotel with Wang Ruoying, who had a rosy complexion and was extremely beautiful, and drove to Quanjude by car.  When Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying came to the room arranged by the Bald King.  I saw two people sitting in the room, one of them was the Bald King, the boss of Quanjude, and the other one I didn’t recognize but looked familiar.  I saw Zhang Xinghan coming in with an amazingly beautiful young woman.  The Bald King and Zhu Jiansheng were both stunned and a little stunned.  But he soon returned to normal, stood up and greeted: "Boss Zhang is here?!" "I kept you two waiting for a long time." Zhang Xinghan nodded with a smile.  "Boss Zhang is very polite. Come on, let me introduce you two. This is our boss Zhu Jiansheng, Boss Zhu, and this is Boss Zhang Guiren from outside the country." The bald king introduced the two of them with a smile.  .  After a brief exchange of greetings, the two parties got down to business. Wang Ruoying had already received Zhang Xinghan's instructions and secretly wrote down the names and locations of the properties, shops and shops mentioned by Zhu Jiansheng.  "Boss Wang, Boss Zhu, the amount required for this transaction is huge. Zhang does not have so much cash for the time being. Please give me a few days to raise the funds." After some discussion, Zhang Xinghan stood up and said.  "That's natural, natural." Zhu Jiansheng didn't expect that the boss Zhang in front of him was so cheerful. The other party basically didn't bargain with the price he offered. He agreed in one breath and stood up with a smile and nodded repeatedly.  Zhu Jiansheng, who was eager to escape, was already feeling happy. On the other hand, when he thought about it, the Wu family's existing property had huge profits. If he hadn't escaped and ran away, he would have been reluctant to sell it.  After shaking hands with the two, Zhang Xinghan took Wang Ruoying and left.  After getting in the car, Zhang Xinghan took a list from Wang Ruoying, looked at it, handed it to an agent in the front passenger seat and said: "Find out as soon as possible who owns these properties." "Yes." The agent  He nodded and put the list in his arms.  …………………… “Commander, we have investigated clearly. All these properties originally belonged to a man named Wu in Xincheng. His name was Wu Qingzhong. However, in the past two days, there was a sudden change and the transfer was transferred to Zhu Jiansheng, which is what you and I are talking about today.  The person who negotiated." In the hotel room where Zhang Xinghan stayed, an agent lowered his head and reported to him.  "Wu Qingzhong?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes sharpened, he thought for a moment and said, "Inform Guo Zhong to secretly arrest Zhu Jiansheng immediately. Be careful and don't make any noise." "Yes!" The agent bowed his head and accepted the order and left.  ………………… “It’s you? Who are you?” In an abandoned residence in Xincheng, Zhu Jiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan with horror on his face.  Zhang Xinghan smiled lukewarmly: "General Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army." Zhu Jiansheng's face suddenly turned earth-colored, his legs and feet were trembling, and he looked at Zhang Xinghan in horror: "You, are you Zhang Xinghan?" "Do you know why I am?  Are we going to arrest you?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  Zhu Jiansheng’s eyes dodge.  He forced himself to argue: "How do I know why you arrested me? What mistake did I make?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes turned cold and he shouted sternly: "You, Wu Qingzhong and others bought grain wantonly, hoarded it and made a fortune for the country. Today I am  I'm going to do some surgery on you first to get rid of the harm to the people. Come, take him out and kill him." "Yes!" The two agents came in, picked up Zhu Jiansheng and walked out.  Zhu Jiansheng was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "I have been wronged. I have been wronged. Don't kill me. I have an old mother above me and an infant child below me!" Seeing that Zhang Xinghan was not moved at all, Zhu Jiansheng quickly shouted:  "Commander Zhang. General Zhang, don't you want to investigate the whereabouts of the food? I know, I know. As long as you spare my life, I will tell you everything!" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, and the two agents let go of him.  Zhu Jiansheng collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.  "Tell me, you only have one chance." Zhang Xinghan took out an American m1912 pistol and played with it.  "Grain, the grain is all in Wu Qingzhong's hands" Zhu Jiansheng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He and Wu Qingzhong, together with Bingcheng merchants, purchased grain through various channels and collaborated to defraud the grain into Wu Qingzhong's hands.  Everything was told.  "Huh, you just said you wanted to sell grain, but Wu Qingzhong didn't want to, so he gave it to you with his family's property in Bingcheng as a reward, right?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Yes, Wu Qingzhong said that selling grain now would arouse the suspicion of the government and make him angry, so he did not agree to my suggestion. In order to embezzle the grain, he gave me all the properties in Xincheng and asked me to resell them and take them with him.  Stay away from the Northeast." Zhu Jiansheng nodded quickly with a sad face."So all the food is in Wu Qingzhong's hands?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Zhu Jiansheng nodded.  "You know where the food is hidden, right?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.  "They are hidden in several large warehouses in Harbin." Zhu Jiansheng said.  "Give me your detailed address immediately. As long as what you tell is true, I will spare your life. If you dare to tell a lie, I will throw you into the Songhua River to feed the fish!" Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes, yes, yes" Zhu Jiansheng nodded repeatedly and quickly wrote out all the addresses of major warehouses on paper.  Zhang Xinghan took it over, looked at it, handed it to Guo Zhong and said: "Pass my order to immediately mobilize the independent 6th Division outside the city into the city and quickly search all the warehouses above." "Commander, don't you need the police and military police in the city?"  Guo Zhong asked.  "No, just use the troops!" Zhang Xinghan said with a big wave of his hand.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong stood up and saluted, then turned around and took the order.  Ten minutes later, at a battalion of the 6th Independent Division outside the city, a lieutenant colonel officer put down the phone and immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "Gather the whole battalion, quickly!" "Yes!" The adjutant saw the battalion commander's serious face and said,  Not daring to ask any more questions, he quickly sent the order.  Not long after, hundreds of Northeastern New Army members gathered quickly. The lieutenant colonel officer, also wearing a military uniform, a helmet on his head, a gun on his waist, and a pair of white gloves strode over.  "There is an order from the top. Our battalion will move to the new city immediately. Make no mistake, everyone is here, get in the truck!" Following the order from the lieutenant colonel officer, hundreds of officers and soldiers turned around and boarded the military truck.  .  The next moment, military trucks full of soldiers drove out of the camp one after another and headed towards the new city.     at the same time.  Several other troops of the Independent 6th Division stationed near Harbin also received orders and marched into Harbin.  Outside a house in Xincheng District, about a platoon of Northeastern New Army soldiers had just arrived in trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles.  Two soldiers armed with Garand rifles jumped off the three-wheeled motorcycle first and pushed the door but it couldn't be pushed.  "Platoon leader, the door is blocked." A soldier turned his head and shouted.  "Knock it out of the way, you guys, climb over the wall and get in, quickly!" the leading second lieutenant platoon leader quickly made arrangements.  Several burly soldiers began to knock on the door, and a few more agile ones began to climb the wall.  "Blast it open for me!" the second lieutenant platoon leader said angrily when he saw that there was no use in knocking on the door.  A soldier quickly removed the two grenades from his body, placed them in front of the door and pulled the fuse.  He quickly ran to the side and hid himself.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the fire flashed. The wooden door was blown to pieces, and debris and mud were flying everywhere.  "Come on!" The second lieutenant platoon leader waved his hand, and dozens of his subordinates rushed in with guns in hand.  However, not long after, a soldier ran out with some disappointment: "Platoon leader, there is nothing inside, it's all empty." "What?" The platoon leader was shocked and walked in quickly. He saw all the houses in the yard.  All were converted into warehouses.  But the warehouse was empty.  But there are still a lot of grains left in the corners on the ground.  "Go back and report to the camp immediately." the platoon leader said angrily.  "Commander, all regiments of the 6th Independent Division have reported that all targets have been evacuated and all the food inside has been transferred." Guo Zhong walked in hurriedly.  Report to Zhang Xinghan.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan was furious when he heard this. His face turned as cold as a knife and he stared at the frightened Zhu Jiansheng: "How dare you lie??!" "General Zhang, calm down, I really didn't lie.  Ah, the goals I mentioned are all true. The young man once helped Wu Qingzhong hide grain, and there was absolutely no lie." Zhu Jiansheng explained hurriedly.  "Commander, each regiment did find some grains of grain. Obviously, they moved the grain out before us." Guo Zhong whispered from the side.  Zhang Xinghan snorted coldly after hearing this and asked, "Zhu Jiansheng, when did you help them hide food?" "Three days ago." Zhu Jiansheng replied.  "Three days, so much food, if they go by land, they don't have trucks, it's absolutely impossible to transport it, unless" Zhang Xinghan was pondering.  Zhu Jiansheng suddenly said: "General, if you know this, they will definitely take the waterway." "Why?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "General, you just said that they don't have trucks. If they want to transport so much food at one time, they can only take the waterway. Moreover, Wu Qingzhong has ships at several docks to transport sand and goods. We haveIt is not a problem to prepare a group of ships.  "Zhu Jiansheng replied. "Zhongzi, please notify the chief of staff immediately and ask him to send people to quickly surround Wu Qingzhong's home and arrest all the people inside. At the same time, send people to quickly block the docks in Harbin and the main roads in and out of the city. No ships are allowed.  Start, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city.  In addition, the 6th Independent Division was immediately ordered to send troops to search along the east and west directions of the Songhua River. Once suspicious ships are found, they will be intercepted immediately.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered immediately. "Yes.  "Guo Zhong hurriedly took the order. "At the same time, the office compound of the Harbin Municipal Government. "Participation, there has been no movement in the Wu Family Courtyard, but Zhu Jiansheng has been arrested.  "Zhao Long reported to Jiang Baili. "What?  Zhu Jiansheng was arrested?  Who caught him?  "Jiang Baili was taken aback. Before he finished speaking, the phone suddenly rang. After answering the phone, Jiang Baili said with a surprised look on his face: "It's the commander. He arrested Zhu Jiansheng and asked him about Wu Qingzhong's possession.  However, Wu Qingzhong was very cunning and had already moved the food, so they missed it.  The commander now orders us to immediately seal up the Wu family and blockade the dock intersection!  " "Where has the food been moved now?  "Zhao Long asked in shock. "The commander suspects that it may have been transported through the Songhua River. He has sent troops to pursue and search.  "Jiang Baili said. "Take the water route?  It's impossible. We have people at all major terminals. If there is an abnormality, there is no way we won't know about it.  "Zhao Long said in shock. "There must be a small dock that we don't know about, or something happened to your people.  "Jiang Baili said. "It's very possible. The Songhua River passes through the city from Harbin, with a basin of tens of kilometers. There are too many places where boats can enter the water. The key is that we don't have water police, otherwise we can definitely block the water surface in advance.  "Zang Shiyi on the side said. "Yeah.  "Jiang Baili nodded in agreement: "Since the commander-in-chief has personally arrived to direct this investigation, let's quickly execute the order and cooperate fully.  "    "yes!  " Zhao Long and Zang Shiyi responded at the same time. When a group of military police and police rushed into the Wu Family Courtyard, the place was already empty. "Commander, the Wu Family Courtyard is already empty.  "Guo Zhong reported to Zhang Xinghanhui. "What?  Chief of Staff, haven't they been closely monitoring every move of the Wu family recently?  How could they be allowed to slip away before their eyes?  "Zhang Xinghan was a little angry. "This, I don't know even if I am in a humble position" Guo Zhong lowered his head. (To be continued.) ps: I'm sorry everyone, it was going to break out yesterday, but it was delayed. I won't say more about the specific reasons. Everyone  Look at my performance today.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 286 So that’s how it is

    "Search for me immediately. We have to dig three feet into the Wu family compound to find them!" Zhao Long had just been scolded by Zhang Xinghan. Dozens of Wu Qingzhong's family mysteriously disappeared under his nose.  .  He was shouting sternly at the leaders of his men.  "Yes!" Several agents hurriedly lowered their heads and responded with fear, and led the people to start a careful search of the Wu family compound.  "Deputy, we found a secret passage in a house in the compound." An agent ran out panting and reported to Zhao Long.  "Is that true? Report to the commander immediately." Zhao Long said.  ………………… Zhang Xinghan had arrived at the Harbin City Office Compound and met Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others.  “Ding-ding-ding-ding…” A rapid ringing of the phone interrupted their conversation.  Guard battalion commander Guo Zhong walked over and picked up the phone. After putting down the phone, Guo Zhong turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, the search team just came to report that a secret passage was found in the Wu family courtyard. It seems that they escaped secretly through the secret passage.  "No wonder the Wu family has been quiet these days. It turns out they have already prepared a way out. They are so cunning!" After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, what should we do now?" "Let's wait and see.  If they really take the water route and go southwest along the river, our search team will definitely find them," Zhang Xinghan said.  "It sounds like you think they won't be able to take the water route?" Jiang Baili asked doubtfully.  "It's not whether they will take the waterway, given the current situation in Harbin. It's the best route for them to transport food by the waterway, but. I just said that if they transport food on the Songhua River, then they will definitely be discovered by our search force.  Wu Qingzhong was able to escape quietly with his whole family. Wouldn't he have thought of this? " Listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Jiang Baili couldn't help but nod.  "Three days ago, these grains were still everywhere in and around Harbin. The transfer of these grains could not have been carried out in a big way during the day. It was most likely done quietly at night. In this way. If you want to transport all the grains to the Songhua River,  It will take at least two nights. In other words, it only takes one day and one night at most for them to sail from the shore. With so much food, they can travel about seventy or eighty kilometers at most. If they really take the water route, I will pursue them.  It will take up to ten hours for the search force to catch up. So, now we have to wait for news from the search force," Zhang Xinghan analyzed.  ??????Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River in the Harbin section.  Across the river from downtown Harbin, with the construction of the Middle East Railway in the 20th century, batches of foreign expatriate businessmen and their families began to pour into the Northern Manchuria area.  As the provincial capital of Heilongjiang and the economic and cultural center of the entire northern Manchuria region, Harbin is naturally where most foreign expatriates and businessmen gather.  These foreign expatriate businessmen found that Sun Island’s undulating terrain and network-like rivers were a good place to escape the summer heat, so they successively built villas and buildings on Sun Island.  Gradually formed a scale.  After more than ten years of development, it has become a gathering place for foreigners and a wealthy area in Harbin.  Countries such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Russia have established concessions on the island and deployed some armed forces.  In order to please the great powers of various countries, the Feng Faction warlords had to acquiesce to the aggressive practices of various countries.  When groups of new Northeastern troops prepared to take boats to pursue and search in the east and west directions, hundreds of soldiers from various countries on Sun Island suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.  They all raised their guns and cannons, pretending to defend the concession.  Until the new Northeastern officers and soldiers left by boat, there was no sign of attacking Sun Island.  The foreigners breathed a sigh of relief.  By about 10 o'clock in the evening, the search force of the 6th Independent Division had searched and pursued nearly 100 kilometers along the river in both east and west directions. Except for some individual small fishing boats along the coast, no large ships or grain transport fleets were found.  At the same time, the militiamen of the towns along the coast also took action and cooperated to search the river surface hundreds of kilometers away, but no abnormalities were found.  Wang Yicai, commander of the 6th Independent Division, who personally led the pursuit, quickly sent a message to Zhang Xinghan.  Harbin Government Office Compound.  "Commander, Commander Wang Yicai called. As you expected, no suspicious fleets were found on the river 150 kilometers east and west from the Harbin section." Jiang Baili took the message from the communication staff and turned to Zhang Xinghan.  .  "It's been less than thirty-six hours. Unless they have wings, they won't be able to escape three hundred miles away." Zhang Xinghan said with a frown and a stern face.  &nbsp; "The only explanation is that they did not transport food out of the city at all, and the food is still in Harbin." Jiang Baili said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and fell into deep thought.  "Chief of Staff, please immediately send the order. The troops of the 6th Independent Division will be quickly transferred back to surround the entire city of Harbin, including the outer suburbs. Then the militia and military police will be mobilized to conduct a door-to-door search of the entire city. They will dig three feet into the ground."  You have to find this batch of grain for me, and at the same time issue a wanted order and reward notice in the three northeastern provinces to hunt down Wu Qingzhong. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a thousand yuan!" Zhang Xinghan said in a serious voice after pondering for a long time.  "Yes!" Sensing the firmness in Zhang Xinghan's tone, Jiang Baili quickly stood up and responded.  Early the next morning, the pursuit troops sent by the Independent 6th Division and the troops stationed in the surrounding area for rest and recuperation were all ordered to arrive in Harbin.  More than 10,000 officers and soldiers, thousands of military police, militiamen, and agents began a city-wide search in Harbin.  The search continued on the second day, in an inconspicuous villa building on Sun Island.  "Vice president, I heard that Zhang Xinghan has sealed off the entire Harbin and has been conducting a city-wide search for two days." Wu Qingzhong asked.  "Yes." The man in a suit who had appeared in the Wu family's secret room nodded expressionlessly.  "Vice President, you have the foresight, otherwise we will fall short this time." Foreign soldiers patrolling the streets outside Wu Qingzhong Building.  "Hmph, Zhang Xinghan thought that if he truly mastered the three eastern provinces, he would be able to see the sky with his hands and eyes, and cover the sky with one hand. No matter how strong he is, it is only a temporary strength. He would not dare to break into the Sun Island Concession, nor would Britain, the United States, France and other countries.  He can afford it," the man snorted coldly.  "It's just that our food may have to arrive at the designated location later." Wu Qingzhong turned around and said apologetically.  The man in a suit smiled and patted Wu Qingzhong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry. The situation has changed suddenly. I will explain it to the Crown Prince. As long as we can ensure that the food is in our hands, it doesn't matter if it comes later." "Thank you, Deputy.  President." Wu Qingzhong said gratefully.  "Today, Mr. Misky from the French Concession held a cocktail party and invited me to go. Vice President, do you think you would like to go with me, drink some foreign wine, and play with the Ocean Horse?" Wu Qingzhong suddenly said with a lewd smile.  "That's okay, I haven't played with this foreign girl for a long time. Her coquettishness is unmatched by Chinese women, haha!" The man in the suit also showed a like-minded and evil smile.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the 6th Independent Division Headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili left the government compound yesterday and came here to facilitate the command of the troop operations.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were waiting anxiously when a rush of footsteps came from outside. In an instant, Wang Yicai walked in covered with dust.  "Commander, we have basically searched the entire city inside and outside, but we have not found anything suspicious." Wang Yicai saluted the two of them.  "Have you searched them all?" Jiang Baili asked with a reluctant frown.  Wang Yicai nodded.  "Commander, what should we do?" Jiang Baili turned his attention to Zhang Xinghan.  "Oh, by the way, I remembered." Wang Yicai suddenly said, "I remembered that there was one place I didn't search." "Where?" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili blurted out almost at the same time.  "It's Sun Island. Foreigners have been living here as early as ten years ago. Now it has become a gathering place for foreign expatriates, businessmen and diplomatic embassies. Countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Germany each occupy their own land on Sun Island and mark it as a concession.  , and there are hundreds of armed personnel responsible for guarding," Wang Yicai replied.  "Sun Island?" Zhang Xinghan turned around and walked towards the map.  At this time, Zang Shiyi introduced from the side: "Commander-in-Chief, this Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River, opposite our Harbin North City across the river. The specific range is about fifty kilometers. The island is densely covered with river networks, high terrain, and covered with forests.  There are about four to five thousand people from various countries, businessmen and their families. As for the guards on the island, they are mostly composed of veterans from various countries. In the past, when Marshal Zhang was alive, in order not to attract international attention.  They turned a blind eye to the behavior of these foreigners occupying Sun Island and let them do whatever they want." "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded, looked at the map carefully, and suddenly said: "It seems that they are.  You hid all the food in Sun Island. That’s right. Being able to move the food in such a short time has a reasonable explanation for the existence of Sun Island.” Jiang Baili also walked over, pointed at the map and nodded:  "It's only ten miles from Beicheng to cross the Songhua River.It only takes a few minutes, as long as you prepare in advance, all the food can be transferred overnight.  " "But the premise is that they must have colluded with the foreigners on Sun Island. Without the help of foreigners, it is impossible for them to land on the island, let alone bring a large amount of food to the island.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Commander, what are you going to do?  Jiang Baili asked. Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, walked back and forth a few times, stopped and said, "Yicai, surround Sun Island for me."  " Jiang Baili and others were shocked when they heard this. Zang Shiyi's expression changed drastically after three dynasties, and he hurriedly advised: "Commander, are you going to attack Sun Island?  It is absolutely impossible to do so. There are expats and businessmen from Western powers such as the French, Americans, and the British on this island. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause international disputes and even cause the Western powers to launch a war against China.  "(To be continued.

    "By the way, have the British Reuters reporter Alice and the American Time magazine reporter Matt Eileen, who interviewed me twice before, returned to China?" Zhang Xinghan asked out of the blue.  "Probably not. When I came to Jilin from Dalian, they seemed to be conducting post-war interviews in Lushun." Jiang Baili answered doubtfully.  Zhang Xinghan said: "In this case, you arrange a flight immediately and ask Gao Zhihang to bring Alice and the others to Harbin for me immediately." "Okay, I will make arrangements immediately." Jiang Baili nodded.  "Commander, is Sun Island still surrounded?" Wang Yicai asked.  "Surround, follow the siege. Without my order, even a bird is not allowed to be released from Sun Island from now on. If anyone dares to force his way through, he will be executed on the spot for disrupting our army's military exercises!" Zhang Xinghan said in a serious voice!  .  "Yes!" Wang Yicai responded loudly, and happily took the order and left.  Dalian Lushun Fortress.  " Two women in dresses were escorted by a group of Northeastern New Army troops, photographing the ruins of the Battle of Dalian and interviewing Northeastern Army soldiers after the war.  This is, a military jeep is coming at lightning speed.  When the jeep stopped, an officer jumped out of the passenger seat.  Walking up to Alice and Eileen, she said politely: "You two ladies, our superiors have asked me to pick you up and take you to the airport. Please come with me." "To the airport? Why?" Alice  He looked at Erin and asked in confusion.  The officer shook his head: "I don't know the specific reason, but my destination is at the airport. You can ask him when you arrive." Alice and Irene exchanged a few words in English and then got into the jeep.  The team of soldiers responsible for protecting them also gathered.  Run after the jeep.  At the Dalian Military Airport, a transport aircraft has completed fuel refueling and other preparations with the help of ground crew.  Huang Xiansheng, wearing a blue military uniform, was pacing back and forth in an open space. Parked next to him were two military jeeps and several guards equipped with submachine guns.  While pacing, he raised his hand from time to time to look at the watch on his wrist, with an anxious look on his face.  Finally, the rumble of an engine came from the entrance to the airport, and a jeep sped over quickly.  After the car stopped, Huang Xiansheng stepped forward vigorously.  With a serious look on his face, he saluted Alice and Irene to show respect, and said solemnly: "I brought you two here in a hurry. It is really an order from the top. Please forgive me for any rudeness." Alice  Hearing this, he was surprised, looked around, and asked in confusion: "General Huang from Mies, can you tell me what happened? Bring us here?" "I'll tell you the truth. I came to you in a hurry, yes.  Because our Commander-in-Chief Zhang has an order to put you on the plane in person and rush to Harbin. As for the specific reason, I don’t know." Huang Xiansheng said truthfully.  “Commander-in-Chief Zhang?” Alice and Matt Eileen looked at each other in confusion.  Got out of the car one after another.  "Yes, without further ado, please get on the plane as soon as possible. We will know everything when we get to Harbin." Huang Xiansheng said solemnly again.  The two boarded the transport plane with confusion, and the transport plane roared off the runway.  Soon it took off and disappeared into the blue sky.  ………………………………………… Harbin.  Independent 6th Division Headquarters.  "Commander, the plane carrying Alice and Irene has taken off from Dalian and is flying towards Harbin." Guo Zhong walked in quickly and saluted to report.  "Zhongzi, you will personally take someone to pick them up at the airport later and bring them directly to the division headquarters." Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed.  "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded happily, turned around and left as ordered.  More than two hours later, a C-47 military transport plane landed smoothly at the Harbin Military Airport.  As soon as Alice and I got off the plane, they were picked up by Guo Zhong, who had been waiting for a long time. They quickly drove away from the airport and went straight to the headquarters of the 6th Independent Division.  Inside the division headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were studying the situation on the island around the map of Sun Island.  There was a rumble of an engine, and Jiang Baili raised his head and smiled: "Commander, it seems your guests have arrived." Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly: "Probably, out of politeness, I think I should go out to greet him." "Although Alice  She is called a reporter, but her true identity is the only successor of the famous Max family in the British Isles. Commander, you are asking her to come forward for help. This is really a clever move," Jiang Baili said with a knowing smile.  "Ahem" Zhang Xinghan coughed dryly.He said with a little embarrassment: "I only learned about this news recently from Shen Yizhi. I thought I could do some business with the British through this eldest lady of the Marx family in the future, but I didn't expect it to happen suddenly and so quickly.  We are going to need her. " "It seems that you, Commander, had the foresight to take time out of your busy schedule to meet with these reporters and give them the opportunity to conduct live interviews.  Miss Si left a deep and good impression," Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "Okay, they should be here. Let's go out to greet them together to show respect. Who told us to ask for help from others?" Zhang Xinghan said with a helpless smile.  "Haha, I should." Jiang Baili laughed loudly, and followed Zhang Xinghan to welcome him out.  As soon as they walked out of the division headquarters compound, they saw Alice and Irene in dresses just getting out of the car.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili quickened their pace, and greeted each other with a smile: "Miss Alice, Miss Irene, long time no see, you guys have had a hard journey." Alice and Irene looked at each other, both surprised that Zhang Xinghan was so enthusiastic.  He took the initiative to greet them. He was surprised and a little flattered. He said with a smile: "General Zhang, long time no see."  They went inside the house.  Jiang Baili had been overseas and knew that the etiquette of Westerners was quite good, but Guo Zhong and the other guards were a little dumbfounded, and they all opened their mouths.  Isn’t this too strong for the boss?  Go up and hug and kiss these two British and American girls?  What’s even more strange is that these two foreign beauties didn’t feel any disgust at all. They looked very happy with smiles on their faces, right?  "General Zhang, you are in such a hurry to come to us, what happened?" After entering the division headquarters, Alice asked impatiently and was confused.  Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw that Jiang Baili did not follow him. His face immediately changed and he said in English with grief and anger: "To be honest, I am anxious to invite two beautiful ladies to come this time. There is really a big matter that requires us."  Please help me." Seeing Zhang Xinghan actually speaking English, Alice and Irene both felt cordial and said without hesitation: "Oh, General Zhang, do you need any help from us? If possible, we will definitely help.  "Really, that's great. On behalf of my millions of fellow villagers and common people in the three eastern provinces, I would like to thank you both," Zhang Xinghan said with an exaggerated expression.  "General Zhang, don't get excited. Please tell us what happened." Irene said anxiously.  "It's like this. Since our army launched the campaign to march into Southern Manchuria, the food supply in our northeastern region has become increasingly tense. By the time this campaign ends, food shortages in various places have reached unprecedented levels. In many places, people's homes have almost  The majority of the people are running out of food. Winter is coming in a few months. If people don’t have enough food at home, it will be difficult for them to survive the cold winter.  You have already seen what you have seen." Seeing the two women nodding, with anxious and unbearable expressions on their faces, Zhang Xinghan continued to strike while the railway was hot: "After investigation by our army's reconnaissance personnel, it turns out that the reason why there is a food shortage crisis in the Northeast is.  Some people with evil intentions started to secretly purchase food before the war began to achieve their ulterior motives. If they just wanted to hoard and make a fortune, the food supply in the Northeast would not be the same.  As for the current situation, they have no plans to open warehouses to sell grain. Instead, they plan to secretly transport the grain away. This will cause the death of millions of fellow villagers in the three northeastern provinces. The autumn harvest is now in progress.  Not yet, and due to the destruction of the war, even in autumn, food will never be able to meet the needs of the entire three northeastern provinces. Without food, I don’t know how many of our Northeastern compatriots will starve to death on the streets. By then, the entire Northeast will be starved for thousands of miles.  Aihong, thinking about Xinghan makes me feel heartbroken. I am not qualified as a general" Speaking of emotional moments, General Zhang actually squeezed out a few drops of manly tears, which made Alice and Irene  They were surprised. Zhang Xinghan had always impressed them as a tall and majestic man who could stand upright.  But now he actually cried in front of them?  The little Napoleon, who was so powerful in the East, actually cried for the people?  God, he is so kind. This is not a sign of cowardice, it is because he cares about the people.  The two beautiful reporters secretly explained for Zhang Xinghan in unison.  &nbsp;The great hero idol in my heart cried, and the two kind-hearted foreign beauties also had tears in their beautiful eyes. Qiongbi felt sour, and Alice took the lead to speak gently: "General Zhang, don't be sad, I will take care of it for you.  The people are happy. Can you tell us how we can help you?" Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed. This is what I was waiting for. Why are you so thick-skinned?  Does time travel make people thicker-skinned?  Zhang Xinghan didn’t expect that he would do such a thing. He was always meticulous about everything and extremely serious, but he would become so cunning and shameless. It was really unimaginable.  PS: There will be another chapter at twelve o'clock.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 288: Landing on Sun Island

    However, Zhang Xinghan didn't have too many entanglements. No matter what his attitude was, as long as he could achieve his goal, it was just like a war. The right way to win a war is to combine justice and oddity.  //Welcome to Reading// At that moment, Zhang Xinghan told Alice and Alice a series of reasons and consequences such as the food that had been hidden by bad guys on Sun Island, and the special situation of Sun Island.  Alice and Irene were very angry and immediately said that they would do their best to help Zhang Xinghan as long as he needed it.  That afternoon, Alice and Irene crossed the Songhua River on a small motorboat escorted by Guo Zhong and a group of guards.  As soon as they reached the other side, a checkpoint blocked their way. Several British sentries carrying Lee-Enfield rifles cautiously held their guns in their hands and stopped them.  Zhang Xinghan, who was among the guards, looked at the rifles in the hands of the British guys with interest.  I couldn’t help but sneer. The obsolete goods from the First World War were equipped with such backward weapons. If they were not afraid of causing unnecessary international disputes at this time, it would be detrimental to the development of the Northeastern Army.   Your own troops only need one infantry company to capture Sun Island.  The leader, a bearded British guy, asked in authentic English: "What are you doing?" But his eyes were always looking at the extremely beautiful Alice and Irene, not only because of their beauty, but also because of their beauty.  It was the sudden appearance of two Western faces that made him both surprised and a little friendly.  But behind them were a group of burly Chinese people, which forced them to treat them with caution.  Alice looked at the bearded man calmly and said in English: "My name is Alice Max. These are the Chinese bodyguards behind me. I want to see your consul." Several people headed by the bearded man  The British were shocked when they heard this. The Max family was famous in the British Isles, and its energy was extremely terrifying, which was beyond the imagination of small fish and shrimps like them.  Although they have never met Alice, they have all heard some rumors about the Max family.  Old Max's son died early due to illness, leaving only a little granddaughter named Alice, who is the only direct heir to the Max family in the future.  Although Zhang Xinghan thought it was a bit rash for Alice to declare her family status in this way, Zhang Xinghan still underestimated the influence of the Marx family in the British Isles.  With the idea of ????rather trusting what they have than what they don’t, a few British guys asked Alice and others to wait, while the bearded man sent someone back to report to the consul in a hurry.  “None of them wants to offend the Marx family, even in the distant Eastern Hemisphere.  If the young and beautiful girl in front of him is really the sole heir of the Max family, offending her may have more serious consequences than offending the Prime Minister.  This is by no means alarmist. In capitalist class societies like the West, the power of consortiums has become powerful enough to influence the political situation and the political and military direction of the country.  Not long after, a car with a British flag flew over on a road in Sun Island.  A British man with white hair and a suit got out of the car and walked quickly towards the checkpoint accompanied by two attendants.  ??I saw Alice and her group from a long way away, and when they came up to them.  The white-haired British guy said with surprise: "Oh, God, is this true, Miss Alice? Is it really you?" Alice looked at the old man who came to her, and asked coldly like a queen.  "You are the British Empire's consul in Sun Island?"  "I don't know if Miss Alice is here, so please don't be offended, Miss Alice," the old man said with an apologetic bow.  "Mr. Consul, are you just going to let me talk to you here?" Alice said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.  "Oh, it's my dereliction of duty. Miss Alice, please get in the car and go to the consulate first. I will arrange your hotel check-in as soon as possible." Robles said quickly and suddenly.  "The person next to me is my good friend and colleague Matt Eileen. These people behind me are the bodyguards I hired in China, and they will also go to the island with me." Alice said.  "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, I will arrange everything properly." Robles nodded repeatedly.  Soon Robles dispatched another car and a truck, carrying more than a dozen guards including Alice, Irene, and Zhang Xinghan, and drove towards their embassy.  After arriving at the embassy, ??someone had already prepared various snacks, tea and drinks.  As Alice’s ‘bodyguards’, Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong and others were also honored to receive seats and drinks.water.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan pick up a small bottle similar to a wine bottle and drink it, Guo Zhong couldn't help but burp after drinking it. With a look of enjoyment on his face, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Commander, what did you drink?"  What is this? Does it look the same as vinegar and soy sauce? " "Nonsense, this is vinegar and soy sauce. This is soda, also called cola. It is a drink and dessert. It is delicious. You and your brothers are too.  Try them all." Zhang Xinghan looked at the Coca-Cola bottle in his hand with admiration. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to drink Coca-Cola during the Republic of China in the 1930s. It was really surprising.  Guo Zhong and others doubtfully picked up the opened bottle of Coca-Cola and took a few sips. Suddenly their eyes lit up and they couldn't help but praise: "Damn, it tastes so good. What kind of drink is this? It's better than foreigners."  The beer must taste better." Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said: "Beer is wine and Coke is a drink. They have their own merits and cannot be compared." Moreover, the beer of this period should not be as delicious as that of later generations.  According to Zhang Xinghan’s memory, the Russians brought foreign alcoholic beverages like beer to China.  The first place where they were introduced was Harbin, which was built in 1900 and was called Ulubleshivsky Brewery.  “In fact, what Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong didn’t know was that the drink Coke came to China six years ago with foreign businessmen across the ocean.  But it was only sold in coastal metropolises like Shanghai, and because Coca-Cola was not called Coca-Cola at this time, it had an extremely unusual and weird name: Tatad Wax.  Due to the bad name, weird taste, and many unfavorable conditions such as the consumption concepts and abilities of the Chinese people at this time, Coke's sales in the Chinese market were extremely poor at this time.  Therefore, there is no such drink circulating in the market outside the customs. It is not surprising that Zhang Xinghan and others cannot see it.  "I still think this drink is good. It's exciting as well, but with a sweet taste. It's not drunk yet, it's really good." Guo Zhong nodded in praise.  "That's right. When conditions are met in the future, we will also build a Chinese beverage factory and brewery to specialize in producing our own beverages and beer." Zhang Xinghan said with a sudden thought in his mind.  "General Zhang, do you know this drink?" Matt Eileen, an American, asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Xinghan and his subordinates discussing seriously while holding Cokes.  "Well, I was lucky enough to drink it in Tianjin before." Zhang Xinghan laughed to cover it up.  "Then do you know what it's called?" Erin asked.  "Coca-Cola." Zhang Xinghan blurted out without thinking.  Eileen smiled and shook her head and said, "nono. It's not called Coca-Cola, but cocacola. When translated into Chinese, it means tadpole chewing wax." "Tadpole chewing wax?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: Yes, this  The thing is not called Coca-Cola now. Coca-Cola was changed later to cater to the Chinese market.  This Coca-Cola will be the name of the soda produced by me from now on.  Zhang Xinghan is a little excited when he thinks that Coca-Cola will be a famous beverage brand in China a few decades later.  At this time, the old man Robles finally arranged the meals and hotel arrangements for Alice and the others, and cautiously came to the living room.  He said respectfully to Alice: "Miss Alice, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I have sent someone to make a reservation for you at the hotel, and dinner is also being prepared." "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Consul." Alice  Si nodded slightly, stood up and walked to Zhang Xinghan.  Suddenly he turned around and said to Robles: "Lord Consul, to be honest, I came to Sun Island this time because I need your help with something." "Miss Alice, please tell me. No matter what happens, I will do my best to help you."  "Yes." Robles lowered his head without thinking.  "Well, I believe Mr. Consul, if this matter is done well, I will tell Grandpa that Consul Robles has helped me a lot in the Far East" Alice said with equal emphasis.  "Thank you, Miss Alice. I will definitely know how to do it. I will definitely" Robles said with some gratitude, "Please tell me what it is." Alice smiled slightly, turned to Zhang Xinghan and said, "Zhang Xinghan  General, it's your turn." Robles suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Xinghan, who was dressed as an ordinary attendant: "Who are you?" "Miss Alice, who is he?" This person was brought by Alice.  , Robles turned his gaze to Alice and asked in confusion.  "Sir Consul, you are the British Consul in Harbin. Take a closer look. Do you really not recognize him?" Alice said with a hint of ridicule in her tone.  Robles looked at Zhang Xinghan carefully and suddenly exclaimed: "You, you are" "Yes, I am Zhang Xinghan, the commander-in-chief of the border defense forces of the three eastern provinces of the National Revolutionary Army.  "Zhang Xinghan said solemnly and without a smile. "Why are you with Miss Alice?  What do you want to do?  "There was obvious hostility and vigilance in Robles' tone. It is not difficult to see that he is as afraid of Alice as a tiger, but he is not afraid of Zhang Xinghan, a young general who is famous in Northeast Asia. "If you think about it carefully, you will be relieved.  , China has been weak for a long time in the past century, and the Western powers do not pay attention to China at all, whether you are the head of state or a general or warlord with real power. As the British Empire’s consuls abroad, they represent the British Empire.  With the British Empire, the world's number one empire, as their backing, and a natural sense of superiority, how can they be afraid of Zhang Xinghan? Because they believe that no matter how good Zhang Xinghan is with the Japanese, he will never have the courage to fight with the British Empire.  Perhaps sensing the disrespect and contempt in Robles’ tone, Alice immediately took Zhang Xinghan’s arm and said, “Sir Consul, General Zhang is not only the commander-in-chief of the three northeastern provinces, he is also a close friend of mine.  Also a friend of my Max family, do you understand?  " Seeing Miss Alice actually took the initiative to take Zhang Xinghan's arm and press her delicate body against him, Robert was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. After brushing away the contempt just now, he said very politely and respectfully: "It turns out that he has been famous for a long time.  Commander-in-Chief Zhang, General Zhang, I wonder why General Zhang suddenly visited the base?  " Robles has lived in China for a long time and speaks Chinese well, but he still has a strange foreign accent that makes people feel very uncomfortable. This can be seen from the uncontrollable smiles on the faces of Guo Zhong and other guards.  It can be seen that Zhang Xinghan did not argue too much with him and directly explained his intention. After hearing this, Robles was immediately confused. He knew and participated in Wu Qingzhong's landing on Sun Island and the hiding of food on the island.  The reason why they dared to accept Wu Qingzhong's benefits and help him hide food and provide shelter was that Zhang Xinghan and the national government behind him did not dare to openly oppose the British Empire. Of course, except for the benefits provided by Wu Qingzhong.  In addition, what they value is the longer-term huge benefit, that is, once Wu Qingzhong and others succeed in restoring the country, then the Western powers, including their British Empire, can regain their superior privileges in the Northeast and even the whole country.  Semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In the final analysis, as the great powers that have gained huge benefits in China, for them, an increasingly modern and formalized national government is naturally not as good as a backward feudal imperial dynasty.  ps: It’s almost 4,000 words. I originally wanted to write 4,000 words, but seeing that it’s almost 12:30, I’ll send it out quickly, lest some brothers are still waiting for the update and not see the update.  It’s time to scold me. I should write about three or four more chapters tomorrow as an expression of my efforts and apology on the last day of this month. That’s it, good night! (To be continued

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 289: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

    With the intimidation of the Max family and the combination of kindness and power from Alice, the old man Robles quickly compromised.  "Promise to immediately discuss the defection with the heads of consuls from the United States, France, the Netherlands and other countries."  Watching Robles leave in a hurry with an entourage.  Zhang Xinghan asked with some worry: "Alice, will the consuls of other countries compromise?" Before Alice could speak, Irene next to her had already said first: "General Zhang, please don't worry, no one dares to do so in today's society."  No one dares not to blame the Marx family for underestimating the British Empire. "Irene was not bragging, but seeking truth from facts. Although the British Empire had consumed a lot of its national power after the First World War, as a victor in the First World War.  It is still the world's largest country at this time, with one-fifth of the world's population and one-quarter of its land territory.  As Eileen said, no one dares not to buy the war of the British Empire.  Although Robles and other consuls from Western countries want to secretly help cultivate remnants of the Qing Dynasty like Wu Qingzhong in order to achieve their ulterior motives.  But these are nothing compared to offending the Max family, the largest family in Britain.  After Robles’ mediation, that night, consuls from other countries gathered together to meet with Zhang Xinghan, Alice and others.  After some deliberation, Robles and others decided to agree to Zhang Xinghan’s dispatch of agents to the island to arrest Wu Qingzhong, and they would cooperate with the Northeastern New Army to hand over all the food hidden by Wu Qingzhong.  But there is one thing: Zhang Xinghan is not allowed to mobilize regular troops to land on the island.  Zhang Xinghan was angry and funny. He knew that this was because foreigners like Robles continued to insist on their ridiculous face of being a big country.  “I am not strong enough now.  Even with Alice's help, he couldn't be too aggressive.  That would make it difficult for Alice.  So Zhang Xinghan nodded and agreed to Robles’s only request.  In the early hours of the night, Zhao Long led hundreds of agents carrying submachine guns, pistols and other weapons to cross the river and land on the island in batches.  Wu Qingzhong and their vice president had just finished attending a cocktail party hosted by the French consul, and were stumbling out of a Western restaurant hosted by the French consul.  The French consul walked them to the door without a smile and then turned back.  A group of Wu Qingzhong's men guarding the door quickly drove over in two cars, and four people even rushed over to help Wu Qingzhong and the vice president, who were already drunk.  At this moment, several cars suddenly rushed from two directions on the street in front of the western restaurant. They arrived in the blink of an eye, blocking the way forward and backward for Wu Qingzhong and his two cars.  Wu Qingzhong’s men haven’t reacted yet.  Several car doors opened, and men in black attire came out holding weapons.  At the same time, a group of men in black with submachine guns suddenly appeared on the roof of the Western restaurant and at the second-floor window of a building opposite it.  Surrounded from all sides, dozens of MP18 submachine guns and mirror boxes known as small assault rifles opened fire one after another.  The dense bullets formed a crossfire, and Wu Qingzhong's men were caught off guard. They were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and the screams could not be heard.  Some bullets hit the car and the ground.  A series of sparks flew up.  Wu Qingzhong and the four subordinates around the vice president reacted very quickly. Just as they were about to pull them back into the Western restaurant, they found that the door of the Western restaurant had been closed, and they could not open it no matter how hard they rushed.  “Boss, the French guys sold us!” a guard shouted hurriedly while firing at the opposite window.  ??Suddenly attacked.  Wu Qingzhong and the vice president both sobered up instantly.  “Let’s go, get in the car!” the vice president made a quick decision.  Four men covered them and ran toward a car parked at the door.  When several agents saw this, they shot at them one after another. A burst of bullets roared like a gust of wind, and the two men were shot one after another and fell down.  However, Wu Qingzhong and the vice president hid next to the car and opened the door to resist.  Amidst the hail of bullets.  The men brought by Wu Qingzhong were quickly slaughtered, and the gunfire gradually stopped.  Hiding in the car.  Wu Qingzhong was soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the vice presidents who were huddled together, and felt a little discouraged: "Vice president, I'm afraid we are in trouble this time." "These Westerners can never be trusted. I don't know what Zhang Xinghan will do."  What benefit did you gain from them, so that they could break their promise and fight back?" The vice president roared with endless anger and unwillingness in his eyes.  At this time, the agents had ceased fire. The two remaining men around Wu Qingzhong hid behind the car door with cold sweat on their foreheads and stopped shooting.  &nbsp; "Wu Qingzhong, you have no way to escape. Surrender as soon as possible, or you will be shot on the spot!" A loud voice came, but it was Zhao Long shouting from behind a car with a loudspeaker.  Upon hearing this, the vice president said to Wu Qingzhong with a ferocious expression: "Brother Wu, today's matter has come to an end. God's will cannot be violated. We are all dead anyway. We must not surrender to those bastards, so we will fight with them!" "Fight?"  "Wu Qingzhong's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, the vice president was about to get out of the car and fight Zhang Xinghan's agents.  Wu Qingzhong was horrified. If he rushed out and opened fire, he would inevitably attract intense firepower from the enemy, and he would be doomed by then.  Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in Wu Qingzhong's eyes, he raised his pistol, pointed it at the back of the vice president's head and shot him.  There was a gunshot, and the vice president who barely got out of the car fell down. He leaned forward and fell out of the car.  There was a bloody hole on the back of the head, and blood mixed with a mixture of red and white flowed out, quickly staining a large area of ??the ground red.  The two men looked back at Wu Qingzhong in horror. Wu Qingzhong said with an expressionless face: "Ah San, Ah Si, we all still have families. Stop making unnecessary sacrifices and surrender with me."  The subordinate lowered his head silently, and the hand holding the gun silently fell to the ground.  "We surrender, don't shoot." Wu Qingzhong stood up with his last two men, raised his hands and shouted loudly.  Agents from all directions immediately swarmed up.  Wu Qingzhong looked at the vice president who was lying on the ground with his eyes open, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt my family." "Commander, the total amount of food seized this time is 15,000.  More than a thousand stones. In addition, according to Wu Qingzhong's account, in addition to the urban area of ??Harbin, their people also used the same method to hoard an astonishing amount of food in other counties and cities in Heilongjiang. However, this old boy is unwilling to say it now, saying that he wants to see  You can only tell me after you know it." In the reception room of the British Consulate, Guo Zhong walked excitedly into a group of reports.  "More than fifteen thousand stones?" Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning when he heard this. Calculated according to one stone, which is about 112 kilograms, with more than fifteen thousand stones, the grain is more than 180,000 kilograms, close to two hundred thousand kilograms.  Kilograms of food.  You must know that Northeast China in the 1920s and 1930s did not have chemical fertilizers such as urea to promote crop growth, nor did it have super grains such as various super hybrid rice.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????????:  But the average yield per mu is only 40 to 50 kilograms, and any land that can yield 150 kilograms per mu is considered fertile land.  Of course, the lack of chemical fertilizers is one thing, and the backward planting technology of the people in this era also accounts for part of the reason.  Calculating this, 180,000 kilograms of grain would require 1,200 acres to produce, even if all the grain-producing land was fertile land.  But we must know that these grains are grown by ordinary people renting land from landlords of all sizes. After excluding the rent and various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, how much is really left? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If we want to gather and hoard these 180,000 kilograms of grain, how many people will need to rent and cultivate how many acres of land to get it?  Zhang Xinghan did not calculate this account in detail, but it turned out to be just part of Wu Qingzhong's plan.  There are hundreds of large and small counties in the entire Northern Manchuria region, so how much food do they have to raise?  They are not simply raising so much food to make money. The only explanation is that they are going to rebel. These are the military rations they have prepared for themselves.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan also realized from this food crisis how shocking the huge consumption caused by the war was.  Not to mention anything else, when it comes to food alone, when he marched south into Southern Manchuria, he mobilized no less than 150,000 troops.  Even if each soldier only consumes one kilogram of food a day, the consumption of food alone on that day is staggering enough.  What’s more, there are other transportation personnel and other consumption. Even though I have a multi-functional watch that can be exchanged for various military equipment, fuel and ammunition, I can’t help but secretly smack my lips.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Although it can be exchanged for some military food, there are energy limitations. The limited energy must be given priority to supply weapons and ammunition, fuel, and various military equipment consumption supplies to the troops.  Therefore, this food naturally has to fall on the heads of the people under his rule.  It seems that I want to continue to expandThe army must not only develop military strength, but also promote the development of the economy and agriculture of the three northeastern provinces.  "Otherwise, without a solid economic and food backing, no matter how hard you try, you will be militaristic, and something big will happen sooner or later.  This food crisis is a good example. It can also be regarded as a blow to Zhang Xinghan and a good warning.  The three northeastern provinces have vast land and rich resources, with more than tens of millions of arable land, and there is no shortage of labor. If we produce chemical fertilizers ourselves, then the output value per mu of land in the northeast will definitely increase dramatically.  " If the grain yield per mu in the Northeast can reach 800 kilograms per acre, it will not only be self-sufficient in a few years, but also a considerable amount of strategic grain reserves.  With sufficient food and money reserves, you can expand your army smoothly without any worries, thereby improving your military strength.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 290 The War in the Northwest Begins

    After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized that he had too many things to do when he came to this war-torn national crisis.  Not only is it necessary to form a strong army to protect the country, but also the development of the industrial economy and the development of land and agriculture. These are the foundations of a strong military presence.  Only when industry, agriculture and economy are sufficiently developed can a powerful military force be established and maintained.  Zhang Xinghan knew that there was no need to rush into this and that he needed to do it step by step. Anyway, both the Japanese army and the Soviet army had been defeated by him. In a short time, there would be no more wars in Northeast Asia. He had time.  After reorganizing his thoughts, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong: "Let's go, take me to see Wu Qingzhong." "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded, and quickly took the lead and walked out.  Not long after, Zhang Xinghan, led by Guo Zhong, took a military jeep to a temporary detention point, which was an abandoned residential building.  Seven or eight agents were guarding here. When the two agents guarding the door saw Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong arriving, they quickly stood up and saluted: "General seat." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked straight inside with Guo Zhong.  Wu Qingzhong has been handcuffed and handcuffed, and he is sitting in a corner with a sad expression and a pale face.  Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Qingzhong looked up and his face suddenly changed. There was a little fear and resentment in his eyes, which was extremely complicated.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan entered the room, an agent brought a chair. After sitting down, Zhang Xinghan took out a cigarette and threw one to Wu Qingzhong. He lit one himself, lit it and took two puffs: "My time is precious."  I won’t talk too much nonsense to you. What I want to know is everything you know.” “As long as you agree to one condition, I will tell you everything.”  After speaking, Guo Zhong shouted: "Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate with us?" Wu Qingzhong did not argue with Guo Zhong, but chose to remain silent.  "Let's talk about the conditions." Zhang Xinghan said in an indifferent tone: "Let me make it clear that if you plan to use this information to ask me to spare your life, then our conversation can end here." Wu  Qingzhong smiled mockingly and said: "My conditions are very simple. I am not asking you to let me go, but I am asking you to let my family go. They are innocent. What I do alone will be borne by one person. Please don't  Implicate them, okay?" At the end.  Wu Qingzhong's tone had become a bit pleading.  Zhang Xinghan stared at him closely, seeing the pleading and sincerity in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I can agree to this condition. This is the Republic of China period. Everything is democratic, and no crime should be done to the family. I will not embarrass them. I  I guarantee it with the honor of our military." "I believe that General Zhang, who can rise up in the Northeast and conquer Japan and Russia in just two or three years, will never break his promise." Wu Qingzhong is very smart.  Zhang Xinghan snorted coldly: "I don't need you to flatter me. Stop talking nonsense and talk quickly." Wu Qingzhong sighed.  He told everything he knew about the situation.  Guo Zhong started taking notes one by one.  After he finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan stood up, threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and gave him a cold look: "I will let you live for a few more days. If you dare to lie to me, I promise to take back the promise I just made."  After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.  …………………… “Miss Alice, please don’t forget to let me know when you are leaving Harbin, so I can see you off.” On the shore of Sun Island, Robles, with his white hair, looked respectful.  said to Alice.  "The consul has many things to do and is busy with official duties, so there is no need to see me off. When I return to England, I will put in a good word for you." Alice said with a smile on her face.  "General Zhang, I hope that Northeast China will become increasingly prosperous under your governance. We will still need your care in the future." Although Robles was unclear about the relationship between Miss Alice and Zhang Xinghan, his attitude has obviously changed.  .  Zhang Xinghan said with a dead smile: "I'm borrowing your good words, Mr. Robles. As for your care, that's natural." After bidding farewell to Robles and others, Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong, Alice and others took the lead.  With a group of guards, they left Sun Island first.  Zhao Long led the agents to stay and transport the grain back to Harbin, preparing to open warehouses to release grain to alleviate the food crisis in Harbin's urban area.  After crossing the river, they got in the car and the group quickly returned to the headquarters of the 6th Independent Division.  "Commander, everything is done?" Jiang Baili came out to welcome him.  "Well, it's all done" Zhang Xinghan saidHe quickly told Jiang Baili, and then said: "Chief of Staff, the rest of the matter will be left to you. You should work harder." Jiang Baili smiled and nodded in agreement, and whispered: "Commander, please take care of the matter.  Leave it to me, what are you going to do? Are you going back to Jilin to accompany your brothers and sisters? " "The difference is what the chief of staff said, Miss Alice and Irene just did a big favor for us, I can't do anything.  Would you like to express your gratitude?" Zhang Xinghan also said in a low voice.  "It should, it should." Jiang Baili looked at the two young and beautiful Western girls with a playful look, winked at Zhang Xinghan, and showed a smile that every man knows.  Damn it, Chief of Staff, you are so old, why are you still smiling so lewdly?  It made me feel like I had some agenda.  Zhang Xinghan smiled helplessly and said, "Zhongzi, give all the information you recorded to the chief of staff." "Yes." Guo Zhong responded quickly, stepped forward and took out a notebook and handed it to Jiang Baili.  Jiang Baili took the notebook and left with a smile. As soon as he left the division war room, he saw Alice and Irene sitting on the table in the yard drinking tea.  "You two sit down slowly. Jiang has to go on military duties, so I'll excuse you for now. Our commander will come over in person to accompany you later." Jiang Baili greeted with a smile.  Alice and Irene stood up, smiled slightly, and nodded.  Not long after Jiang Baili left, Zhang Xinghan walked out.  He smiled and said to Alice and Eileen: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long because of the busy military schedule. Now I'm finally done with my work. To express my gratitude to you, I came all the way to help you. I'd like to treat you to a meal."  , I wonder if I can reward you?" Alice and Irene looked at each other and nodded in agreement.  "A dinner party allowed Alice and Irene to re-appreciate Zhang Xinghan's personal charm. Zhang Xinghan is knowledgeable, proficient in several languages, humorous, not rigid, and well-informed.  He can always make the two girls laugh, and this meal can be regarded as a happy meal.  Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhang Xinghan pretended to be casual and asked: "Miss Alice, I wonder what industry your Max family is mainly engaged in?" "General Zhang, our Max family is basically engaged in light industry, heavy industry, textile industry and entertainment industry.  , food industry and other walks of life, but my ancestors started by selling clothes." Alice did not doubt that he told the truth.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "We do both light and heavy industries." But he secretly made a decision in his heart.  After eating, Zhang Xinghan arranged a hotel for them and asked Guo Zhong to send someone to escort them there.  He returned to the headquarters of the Sixth Division.  Jiang Baili came back and saw Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, I have already deployed. The garrison and military police forces in various places should have started taking action by now. We will get the news soon." "Okay, now let's go ahead.  Let's distribute this batch of grain. Let's first solve the local food shortage in Harbin. As long as we release this batch of grain, and there are rumors that more grain will continue to be released, then some local profiteers who are really hoarding it will make a small fortune.  They will definitely lose their composure and take advantage of the high prices to sell off the food in their hands. Although they don’t hoard much food individually, they can gather more food together. Once the food is circulated, it will be beneficial to solve the food crisis as soon as possible. "Zhang Xinghan.  road.  "I guess Zhao Long should have transported the grain across the river. I'll send someone to inquire." Jiang Baili nodded.  At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly walked over with a message and a hurried look on his face.  "Report, urgent telegram from Nanjing." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili in confusion, reached out and took the telegram, opened it, and frowned immediately.  “Commander, what’s wrong?” Jiang Baili asked anxiously upon seeing this.  "Chairman Chiang called to say that Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan were fighting in the area of ??Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan. Marshal Zhang and Yan Xishan were on the sidelines watching the fire from across the bank and refused to mediate. "Chairman Chiang ordered our Northeast Frontier Defense Force to send troops to mediate with Song Zheyuan.  Sun Dianying, and urged Sun Dianying to implement the central government's order, lead his troops to settle in Qinghai, and take over Qinghai's defense. "With that said, Zhang Xinghan handed the message to Jiang Baili. In history, the Four Horses Rejected Sun also happened in 1933, but because of  With the arrival of Zhang Xinghan, Rehe and Chahar are now no longer dominated by Sun Dianying's family, but have a comparable Song Zheyuan.  As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although both of them are former members of the Northwest Army, they have already cut off their ties and become an independent entity. They both want to annex each other and monopolize Rehe and Chahar to expand their strength and plan for the future.  &nbsp; And Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was not a fuel-efficient person. Under such circumstances, he issued several telegrams in succession, appointing Sun Dianying as the Superintendent of Reclamation in the Western District of Qinghai, and ordered him to lead his troops to Qinghai, intending to drive away tigers and devour wolves.  profit from fishing.  But he ordered Song Zheyuan to attack Sun Dianying while he was marching westward, and promised Song Zheyuan the position of chairman of Rehe Province.  Of course, another reason that prompted Chairman Chiang to make this decision was that the former Northwest King Feng Yuxiang formed the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Alliance Army in Zhangjiakou.  Both Sun and Song were former subordinates of General Feng Yuxiang. In order to prevent them from joining Feng Yuxiang again, Chairman Chiang took advantage of the discord between Song and Sun to attack each other in order to weaken the strength of Song and Sun's troops and thereby weaken Feng Yuxiang's influence.  The purpose of force can be said to kill two birds with one stone.  After Song Zheyuan received the order, he began to secretly mobilize troops and actively prepare. Sun Dianying was not a fool. He had been observing Song Zheyuan carefully for a long time and saw that he had made any changes. Fortunately, he took the initiative to attack the Song army. The two sides immediately started a fierce battle.  "Chief of Staff, what do you think we should do? Send troops?" Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili and asked.  ps: I’m really sorry, there are only two updates today. I will definitely not be able to write the third update before 12 o’clock. After I write it, it will only be regarded as number one.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.) PS: Let me tell you something, next month  It is a historical military month that is rare in a century. There are various benefits and benefits. The top fifteen on the monthly ticket list can get a monthly ticket reward. The perfect attendance award is also increased by 200 yuan. The autumn wind makes me drool.  Monthly votes are the biggest motivation for Qiufeng Codezi. In September, I was not able to update myself well, so I didn’t shout out a slogan asking for votes even during the big push. It was really shameful.  But tomorrow is the beginning of a new month. It coincides with the National Day double monthly ticket and the historical military month. Qiu Feng wants to work hard again. I can’t guarantee whether I can break out ten more updates tomorrow, but I will try my best.  I’m going to write it, and I hope everyone can support Qiu Feng again.  Coding is a lonely job. It requires a steady stream of blood and passion to be transformed into motivation in order to persevere. I just want to use my best efforts to code in the new month and tell myself that my blood is not cold.  , the passion is still there, I just ask brothers to support Qiu Feng again, I will not let you down.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 291: Attacking Jehol (1)

    "Chairman Chiang's order message has been sent, and commander, don't you think that this battle between Song, Sun and others may be a very rare opportunity for us?" Jiang Baili said pointedly.  "Opportunity? Chief of Staff, do you mean to take the opportunity to annex Sun and Song?" Zhang Xinghan was a little confused.  "Annexation is a bit serious, but when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. This is a matter of picking up cheap opportunities and reaping the benefits of the fisherman. We have no reason not to do it." Jiang Baili said.  "Perhaps, this is what Chairman Jiang wants to see? Although Marshal Zhang is greatly damaged, it is still not a problem to deal with small warlords like Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying. There is also Yan Xishan in Shanxi. After three years of dormancy, Jin  The strength of the Sui Army has been restored to its original state, and the whole of North China belongs to him and Han Fuqu. Marshal Zhang is the strongest, Han Fuqu is a clown, and Marshal Zhang has also lost his foundation in the Northeast. There is no need to worry. His tentacles, Yan Laoxi, have been eager to reach out to Shanxi.  , Are you involved in Pingjin, Hebei and the northwest provinces? " "The commander's analysis is not unreasonable, but everything has risks. The situation in the northwest seems to be corrupt and chaotic, but if it is done properly, it can still be very profitable." Jiang Baili said.  "But the food crisis in our three northeastern provinces has not yet been overcome, military rations are even more scarce, and the troops have just gone through a war and are really unable to fight anymore." Zhang Xinghan said with a frown.  "Commander, now March has passed in the blink of an eye, and summer is coming. In another two or three months at most, it will be the autumn harvest season. If we can truly take Rehe as our own, then tens of millions of acres of cultivated land in Rehe Province will be lost."  The harvest will all belong to us. Even if we only collect taxes, it will be a huge amount of revenue, which will greatly make up for the tight food supply of our army.  , we should be able to obtain a staggering amount of food. With them, the army's food problem will be easily solved. Our army is well-equipped, the armored tank force is currently invincible, and the territory of Jehol is flat, which is extremely conducive to our army's maneuverability.  , give full play to our advantages. In addition, we have the air force. This time, the commander can just send out fewer troops as a last resort. Neither the Jinsui Army nor Marshal Zhang's Northeast Army wants to fight with us.  "In this way, we have the initiative. The commander can then assess the situation and decide whether to achieve the goal without fighting. If necessary, he can also punish any disobedient party with small punishments and severe punishments." Jiang Baili said confidently.  "Does Rehe Province currently have tens of millions of acres of cultivated land?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  "Yes, Rehe is no better than the Northeast. Its territory is a vast wilderness plain for thousands of miles, and the cultivated land area is quite large." Jiang Baili nodded.  Zhang Xinghan paced back and forth and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slammed the table and said harshly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs? I'll do what you say, chief of staff." Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan approvingly and asked: "Then  Let's discuss it carefully and decide which troops should be deployed. It can deter the warlords and reduce the logistical pressure on our army as much as possible.  A motorized infantry regiment, plus an armored division, two tank regiments and an air defense regiment, and then Sabli's cavalry brigade were assembled to form a westward force and headed for Rehe." Zhang Xinghan pondered.  "Yeah. I think it's okay." Jiang Baili nodded in praise.  "Then pass the order quickly." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan’s order was conveyed, and the various units of the original cavalry brigade scattered throughout Northern Manchuria began to gather overnight.  Three tank regiments stationed in Changchun and other places also gathered urgently, and a tank regiment from the 4th Independent Division set out from Shenyang and headed towards Tongliao.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili led a regiment of the 6th Independent Division and a guard battalion of more than 3,000 people to take a train south from Harbin, planning to go from Changchun to Tongliao. All units agreed to assemble in Tongliao.  Early the next morning, Alice and Irene came to the headquarters of the 6th Independent Division from the hotel. They saw Wang Yicai coming out after receiving the news, but Zhang Xinghan was not there.  Alice asked doubtfully: "General Wang, is your Commander-in-Chief Zhang here?" Wang Yicai smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Alice, our chief executive had something important to do last night and has already left.  Before he left, he told me that if you have time, stay in Harbin for a while and express his gratitude to you when he comes back. " "Leaving?" Alice was a little disappointed.  "Yes." Wang Yicai smiled and nodded.  ……………… Changchun arrivesOn the dirt road in Tongliao, a huge convoy of hundreds of tanks, military trucks, and jeeps was meandering.  In the early morning, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili led their troops to Changchun. After meeting with the three tank regiments, they drove non-stop towards Tongliao.  Military trucks loaded with soldiers and huge tanks rumbled forward, raising puffs of gray smoke wherever they passed.  The scene is very spectacular.  "Commander, the 4th Division has sent their third motorized infantry regiment. It has arrived in Tongliao and is waiting for our arrival." In an armored vehicle, Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan who was looking at the map.  "Well, where is the cavalry brigade now?" Zhang Xinghan raised his head and asked.  "They should have completed their assembly in Taonan and are rushing to Tongliao like us." Jiang Baili said.  “I don’t know what the situation in Jehol is like now.” Zhang Xinghan turned his head and looked at the scenery flying backwards outside the car, seeming to be talking to himself.  "Sun Dianying's troops have the advantage, but Song Zheyuan's troops are the elite of the remaining Northwest Army, and Song is good at training troops. The troops basically inherited the bravery and good fighting skills of the original Northwest Army, so the battle between the two sides should be at a stalemate. It will be difficult in a short time.  Decide the winner." Jiang Baili guessed and analyzed.  Rehe Fengning County is the main battlefield where Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying fought. Fengning is located 170 kilometers west of Chengde and Chicheng of Chahar in the west.  It borders Guyuan County and Miyun to the south.  Huairou, Duolun, north of China.  Because the northern part of Fengning is located on the southern edge of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and the southern part belongs to the Yanshan Mountains, the climate is very different between the north and the south, so it is known as the local name Bashang.  In addition, Fengning is also the birthplace of Chaohe River, Baihe River and Luanhe River, the main water source of Pingjin, and is known as the dam.  Fengning County originally belonged to Rehe, but it was lost during the last battle.  Song Zheyuan's army took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was defeated by the Northeastern New Army. Sun Dianying was very worried about this and had long wanted to pull out the nail planted by Song Zheyuan in his territory.  So the two sides started a fierce battle in Fengning. Sun Dianying made the first move, so Song Zheyuan's army was on the defensive.  Song Zheyuan originally deployed one division of troops in Fengning, but Sun Dianying assembled three divisions with about 30,000 troops to attack.  As the battle progresses.  Reinforcements from Song Zheyuan's tribe arrived one after another from Chahar and other places, and Sun Dianying also increased his troops to 50,000 Tibetans.  The number of troops gathered on the Fengning battlefield by both sides is close to 100,000.  After the end of the Central Plains War, Song Zheyuan and other remnants of the Northwest Army retreated to Shanxi, and were later reorganized by Marshal Zhang. Although they were numbered as an army, their strength was less than 10,000.  With continuous expansion in the past three years.  Song Zheyuan's 29th Army has grown to nearly 40,000 troops, which is much faster than the original growth rate in history.  You must know that historically, the 29th Army only had four divisions and more than 30,000 people until 1937.  ??And Sun Dianying’s Ministry has continued to expand in Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe and other places over the past few years, recruiting bandits, ruffians and other armed forces.  Another Northeastern New Army sold him weapons.  The army has developed very rapidly, and its total strength has exceeded 70,000.  However, the composition of the troops is very mixed, and the good and bad are mixed. Compared with Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, the individual combat effectiveness is much worse.  Therefore, even though the force was almost twice that of the 29th Army, Sun Dianying was unable to quickly defeat it and capture Fengning County.  On the contrary, the attack was repeatedly frustrated, and the troops were blocked under Fengning City and fell into a difficult war of attrition.  In order to boost morale and facilitate command, Sun Dianying arrived in Luanping from Chengde in person, and drove to the front line several times to inspect and motivate his men.  ??In the Sun Army headquarters in Luanping County, the beeping sound of the radio station can be heard constantly. Sun Army's communication personnel come and go, looking extremely busy.  In a war room, a bearded officer was leaning on a chair and smoking a cigarette.  Several middle-aged officers stood around.  "Chairman, according to reliable information, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek seems to have ordered Zhang Xinghua to lead the Northeastern New Army to march west to Rehe to mediate the war between our army and the 29th Army." The speaker was Liu Yueting, who had followed Sun Dianying for many years and was appointed as commander in 1926.  Commander of the 2nd Division of the 14th Army of the Zhilu Allied Forces (Sun Dianying), and commander of the 17th Army of Sun Dianying's 5th Route Army during the Central Plains War. He was Sun Dianying's number one general and think tank.  "Jingxuan, is this news reliable?" Sun Dianying was shocked when he heard this and stood up.  "It should be true. I have sent an informant to closely monitor the movements of the Northeast New Army. If there is any situation, we will get the news soon." Liu Yueting finished his words.  A man in plainclothes hurriedly walked in, saluted Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting and said: "Report to Chairman Sun, Chief Liu, according to the urgent report from our army's scouts, several people from the Northeast New Army are heading towards the passage."?Assemble and advance, it is likely to enter Jehol.  Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting's expressions suddenly changed when they heard this, and they yelled: "Damn you, Zhang Xinghan is trying to stab you in the back. What should I do?"  " "Chairman, don't panic. I think you should take the initiative to send a telegram to Zhang Xinghan now, ask about the purpose of your visit, test him, and then make a plan.  "Liu Yueting said. "Okay, start generating electricity immediately.  "Sun Dianying nodded repeatedly. "Jingxuan, if Zhang Xinghan really comes with a large number of troops, what should we do?  His new Northeastern army cannot even defeat the Japanese and Lao Maozi, and we are not our opponents. If things go wrong, we will fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.  "Sun Dianying complained endlessly. "Chairman, don't be anxious. Let's see how Zhang Xinghan responds. I feel that he will not join forces with the 29th Army to deal with us. It will not be good for him.  "Liu Yueting analyzed. PS: I write really slowly. I wrote one-third of this chapter last night. It took me two and a half hours from eight o'clock in the morning to now to finish writing this chapter. Looking at the monthly vote list, it's really amazing.  I'm in a hurry. Please give me a few guaranteed monthly votes to encourage me. Now there are double tickets. One ticket is worth two, please! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 292: Strategy for Rehe (2) Second Update

    Not long after dawn, the rising sun illuminated the thick fog like a fairyland. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, and the fog suddenly dispersed, making it clear and clear.  // // Zhangjiakou is the provincial capital of Chahar and the largest city in Chahar. Song Zheyuan's 29th Army headquarters is located in the city.  In some fields outside the city, many people are already working in the fields, and the soft sunshine shines warmly on people.  Accompanied by Deputy Army Commander Tong Linge, Song Zheyuan was walking and discussing military affairs in a Chinese tunic suit.  Song Zheyuan was quite a Confucian general. The two armies fought like flowers and tea in Fengning. He could still take a walk in the early morning calmly and leisurely. His state of mind was not comparable to that of Sun Dianying, a tomb-robber general.  But later on, this person could become the famous King of Pingjin. It would be abnormal if he didn't have some extraordinary qualities.  "Military seat, Liu Ruming's troops arrived at Fengning last night. Our army's Fengning defense line is extremely strong and there is no danger of being breached in the short term. Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong are discussing a strategy to defeat the enemy. I believe there will be one soon.  Result." Tong Linge said as he walked.   "Sun Dianying is a bandit. Although there are many people under his command, they are all a mob and vulnerable. Our 29th Army officers are brave and good at fighting. It is only a matter of time before we defeat him." Song Zheyuan had a vague expression on his eyebrows when he spoke.  Worried, Tong Linge saw this and asked hurriedly: "Military, you seem to have something on your mind?" "I'm not worried about Sun Dianying, but the two generals Zhang." Song Zheyuan said meaningfully.  "Oh, you mean the two Northeastern ones?" Tong Linge suddenly realized.  "Exactly." Song Zheyuan nodded and said: "Sun Dianying is nothing to worry about, but the two Northeastern warlords Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Xinghan, one dominates Pingjin and the other dominates the three Northeastern provinces, none of them are good at it." "The military seat is  Are you worried about their profit?" Tong Linge said.  Song Zheyuan sighed: "I'm afraid that Rehe will become very lively and changeable, and we still don't know who will be the winner." At this time, a cavalryman came galloping from the city.  When he arrived, he stood up and dismounted, saluted Song and Tong, and said: "Military seat, deputy military seat, I just received news that Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, led his troops to march west to Tongliao and will soon enter Rehe." Song Zheyuan  He and Tong Linge looked at each other after hearing this, and they both saw surprise in their eyes.  "Military seat, it seems that your guess is correct. Zhang Xinghan is no longer willing to be lonely." Tong Linge said.  "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The Northeastern New Army has just ended its war with the Japanese and the Russians. The entire Northeast is in dire need, and the Northeastern New Army is also in urgent need of rest and reorganization. But Zhang Xinghan sent troops to the northwest at this time. What happened?  What? You and I don't know." Song Zheyuan said meaningfully.  Tong Linge pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed.  ?????????Near Shuangcheng, Zhang Xinghan and his troops were marching, and the communications troops suddenly came to report.  "Commander, I just received a telegram from Sun Dianying, Chairman of Rehe Province." After the communications soldier saluted, he handed over the telegram.  Jiang Baili reached out and took the message, opened it and took a quick look.  He smiled and said: "Commander, Sun Dianying called us to ask what our intention is to send troops?" "Oh? This is quite interesting. When I called Sun Dianying back, he said that our army is conducting a joint land and air military exercise. Thank you, Chairman Sun.  Concerned." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Commander, if you reply like this, I guess Sun Dianying, the tomb-robber general, will not be able to eat or sleep well," Jiang Baili said with a loud laugh.  "Then we can't blame him. He himself is sentimental, haha." Zhang Xinghan also smiled slyly.  Luanping County, Sun Army Headquarters.  Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting were shocked when they heard this.  With his mouth hanging open, Liu Yueting stepped forward and snatched the message from the hands of the communications soldier in front of him, and read it hurriedly.  "Jingxuan?" Sun Dianying shouted when she saw Liu Yueting was stunned.  "Chairman, that is indeed what the message said. They are going to conduct joint land and air exercises." Liu Yueting said bitterly.  "A joint land and air exercise? Damn it, this can't be a pretense, right?" Sun Dianying said in panic when she thought of the very powerful air force and ground armored assault troops of the Northeastern New Army.  "Chairman, I think we should prepare earlier. If Zhang Xinghan really comes to join the war, then we will be in danger." Liu Yueting said.  "Prepare?" Sun Dianying said suddenly: "Immediately order all the divisions on the front line to stop attacking immediately and retreat to the Luanping line. At the same time, order the troops left behind to take strict precautions and send more scouts just in case." "Commander, you can't be in a hurry., if we want to withdraw, we have to wait until night, otherwise if the 29th Army takes advantage of the opportunity to counterattack, we will suffer a big loss.  Liu Yueting said. "Okay, just do as you say, Jingxuan."  "Sun Dianying nodded repeatedly with fear and fear. "Chief of Staff, please send a message to Song Zheyuan immediately, telling them that I led the army into Jehol on the orders of the Nanjing National Government.  In the crusade against Sun Dianying, Sun Dianying disobeyed the central government's orders and launched an attack on your troops without authorization.  Our army is willing to join forces with the 29th Army to attack Sun Jun. We ask the 29th Army to choose an opportunity to counterattack.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered Jiang Baili on the armored vehicle. "Yes.  Jiang Baili nodded and asked with some confusion: "Commander, do we really want to eliminate Sun Dianying?"  " "It won't be eliminated, but this old guy Sun Mazi has expanded too fast in the past two years.  It must be suppressed. Our army should not attack. Let the 29th Army and Sun Dianying fight. Let them consume each other, which will be beneficial to us.  " Zhang Xinghan explained. "Oh, I understand, I understand. The reason why the commander called back to Sun Dianying that we were going to conduct military exercises without stating the specific purpose was to use this as a deterrent so that Sun Dianying would not dare to continue to devote his efforts to the 29th Army.  Being timid, Sun Dianying was bound to stop the offensive and actively shrink his troops in order to avoid a two-front battle.  At this time, we connected with Song Zheyuan and encouraged the 29th Army to take advantage of the situation to attack, which would definitely cause great damage to Sun Dianying's troops. However, Sun Dianying had more than 70,000 troops. The 29th Army wanted to defeat him, and he was sure to do so.  It will cost you a lot and kill two birds with one stone. This is a really clever trick.  "Jiang Baili said suddenly. "By the way, Commander, have you ever thought about what if Song Zheyuan doesn't fall for the trick and doesn't take advantage of the situation to fight back, but chooses to stand still and let us change?  "Jiang Baili said suddenly. "Then we will support Sun Dianying and let him attack the 29th Army with all his strength and capture Chahar and Suiyuan.  "Zhang Xinghan said calmly. Jiang Baili gave Zhang Xinghan a thumbs up, turned around and shouted: "Stop the car.  " The fast-moving armored vehicle stopped quickly. Jiang Baili got out of the car first, and Zhang Xinghan also jumped out: "After riding all the way, let's take a pee and move around.  "………………………………In Zhangjiakou City, the 29th Army Headquarters. Song Zheyuan and Tong Linge had just returned to the meeting room of the military headquarters when Chief of Staff Xiao Zhenying walked in with a message in hand. "Military seat, Deputy Commander Tong, Northeast Frontier Defense Force  Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xinghan called.  "    "oh?  Song Zheyuan waved his hand and said, "What did Zhang Xinghan say?"  " "He said that he led the army to march westward under Chairman Chiang's military order to cooperate with our crusade against Sun Dianying.  " Xiao Zhenying said and handed the telegram to Song Zheyuan. Song Zheyuan took it and read it again, then gave the telegram to Tong Linge. He sat on a chair and looked at the two of them and said, "Deputy Commander Tong, Chief of Staff, what do you think of this?  " Before Tong Linge could speak, Xiao Zhenying took the lead and said: "Military seat, I believe that what Zhang Xinghan said in the message should be true. Sun Dianying's strength has increased greatly in recent years and he has developed rapidly. Rehe is close to the northeast. Zhang Xinghan definitely doesn't want Sun Dianying to succeed.  If Dianying becomes bigger, it will pose a threat to his new Northeast Army, so it is very possible to join forces with us to suppress Sun Dianying.  "    "Um.  Song Zheyuan nodded and turned to look at Tong Linge: "Deputy Commander Tong, what do you think?"  " "Military seat, Zhang Xinghan is quite witty, brave, strategic, and courageous. We must not be careless, otherwise we may be used as a gun by him and let him reap the benefits.  "Tong Linge said maturely and solemnly. "Well, both of you are right.  Song Zheyuan nodded: "Then how should we act?"  " "Military seat, what Deputy Commander Tong said makes sense. In my opinion, our army can first agree to Zhang Xinghan's intention of a joint crusade to prevent him from turning to support Sun Dianying.  However, Zhang Zizhong and generals should be ordered to attack as appropriate in the counterattack on the front line. A small victory is enough. Don't be greedy for success and rush forward to force Sun's troops to fight decisively. First, preserve the strength of our army.  If Zhang Xinghan really leads his troops to attack Sun's troops, then we will fully cooperate to eliminate Sun Dianying's troops.  If the situation changes, we will decide based on the situation.  "Xiao Zhenying said. "Xiao Zhenying has many friendships with the Northwest Army and has a high reputation. The formation of the 29th Army is all due to this person's full cooperation. Originally, the generals of the Northwest Army of the 29th Army unanimously wanted to elect him to the 29th Army.  Although Xiao Zhenying did not become the commander of the army, his influence and reputation in the 29th Army were unmatched by Song Zheyuan.  , Feng Zhian and others praised him as the founder of the 29th Army.Therefore, Xiao Zhenying’s words still carry a lot of weight in Song Zheyuan’s heart.  After he expressed his opinion, Song Zheyuan thought for a while and decided: "Brother Xiange's arrangement is very good, so let's do it. Deputy Commander Tong, you immediately rush to the front line in person and direct Zhang Zizhong and Feng Zhi'an to organize a counterattack."  "Deputy Commander Tong, you must do your best to restrain our soldiers. You must not ignore orders and pursue Sun Dianying's troops desperately, forcing them to panic and fight to the death with us. That would be bad," Xiao Zhenying ordered.  road.  "Well, don't worry, military commander and chief of staff, Tong knows." Tong Linge nodded in agreement.  ps: Monthly pass, monthly pass, there are only two more to go!  I beg you on your knees!  !  !  !  (To be continued…

    That night, at the position of Sun Dianying's army in the western suburbs of Fengning County.  It is early summer, the night is dark and the cool breeze is blowing, which is very cool on people.  The entire position seemed quiet and normal, but in the trenches, groups of soldiers from Sun Dianying's department were quietly retreating with guns and weapons and ammunition on their backs.  On top of Fengning City, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian and others appeared hand in hand.  "Brother Yang, do you think Sun Mazi will retreat?" It was Zhang Zizhong who spoke, looking at the dark outside the city, and turned back to Feng Zhi'an.  "If Zhang Xinghan really led his troops into Rehe, Sun Mazi could not have known that he would definitely shrink his troops in order to avoid being attacked from both sides." Feng Zhian said.  "The arrival of Zhang Xinghan is 100% true, otherwise Sun Mazi would not have launched an attack today." Zhang Zizhong said.  "What do you mean? Sun Dazi plans to retreat overnight?" Feng Zhi'an said.  "Based on the situation during the day, it is very possible." Zhang Zizhong said: "I have sent scouts to closely monitor Sun Jun. If there is any movement, I will report it soon." As soon as Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, an officer came from the city  He rushed up and reported: "Master's seat, Master's seat, our army's scouts report that Sun Dianying who is besieging the city is retreating secretly." "It seems that your judgment is right, brother Xin Chen. Sun Dazi is really going to retreat." Feng Zhian laughed.  road.  "This is also expected. Brother Yang, let's quickly order the troops to pursue us." Zhang Zizhong said.  "Well, I'll make arrangements right away." "But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. Don't be too greedy for merit. Don't push Sun Mazi into a hurry. In my opinion, we can capture Luanping and drive Sun Mazi back to Chengde. From now on  It depends on the situation." Zhang Zizhong said, "Deputy Commander Tong should be here soon. I will greet him soon, and I will leave the pursuit to you." "Brother Xin Chen, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention."  He saluted and said that Zhang Zizhong's qualifications and prestige were higher than Feng Zhi'an's, and he was the commander-in-chief of this Fengning defensive battle, so there was no reason to disobey his orders.  It was night, Feng Zhian and others commanded the troops of two divisions and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and raid on Sun Dianying's army.  Because Sun's army was about to evacuate, his troops had no fighting spirit and were quickly defeated.  "Chairman, all our frontline troops have been defeated, and the enemy's 29th Army is rapidly attacking Luanping. You'd better evacuate this place as soon as possible." Liu Yueting said nervously to Sun Dianying in the headquarters of Sun Army in Luanping County.  "You damn bastards, they are all a bunch of losers, how could the 29th Army notice who leaked the news? I'm going to shoot him!" Sun Dianying shouted angrily.  "Oh, my chairman, now is not the time to hold people responsible. You should return to Chengde as soon as possible. As long as the brothers know that you are safe and sound, the scattered troops will definitely be able to regroup. Only in this way can we turn defeat into victory and block the 29th  Army's attack!" Liu Yueting urged earnestly and earnestly.  Although Sun Dianying is uneducated, he is shrewd and cunning, and gets angry when he is angry.  He quickly changed his expression and said to Liu Yueting: "Jingxuan, I will leave it to you to deal with the aftermath. I will take a step back to Chengde to take charge of the overall situation. You must be careful." "Chairman, please rest assured. I will go all out.  Gather the troops and block the pursuit of the 29th Army," Liu Yueting said very loyally.  Sun Dianying nodded with great satisfaction and fled Luanping County with his bodyguard by car overnight.  Fleeed to Chengde.  Southeast of Chifeng, on the east bank of Laoha River.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were standing on the river bank at this time, watching the tank troops using bridge-building tanks to build bridges. There were a large number of guards standing behind them.  Half an hour ago, Zhang Xinghan arrived here with his troops.  The Laoha River was flowing peacefully at night. Listening to the rushing water, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sigh: "Chief of Staff, it's only been two years. I didn't expect that we would revisit our old place." "Yes."  "Jiang Baili was also sighing, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Commander, across the Laoha River is Chifeng. Now Chifeng is still under Sun Dianying's control. Do we really want to capture it? " "No, there is no need to attack?  , I think Sun Dianying will take the initiative to give up Chifeng, why don't we have a place to stay?" Zhang Xinghan said with confidence in his smile, which was his confidence in the absolute strength of his troops.  Jiang Baili nodded and said: "I don't know what the current situation in Fengning is. Will the 29th Army really attack?" "Let's not worry about it for now. As long as we appear in Chifeng, Sun Dianying will not withdraw.  It's no longer possible. Fengning and he definitely don't dare to encircle them anymore. So since the 29th Army has been suppressed and beaten for so many days, there is no reason to let go of a great counterattack.?Wouldn't catch it.  Zhang Xinghan said. While the two were talking, a burst of footsteps came from behind, and Guo Zhong ran over happily holding a piece of telegram. "Zhongzi, what happened?"  "Zhang Xinghan asked. Guo Zhong couldn't hide the excitement on his face and saluted: "Reporting to the commander and chief of staff, we have just received a telegram from Harbin. Our army's investigation and prosecution operations in various parts of Northern Manchuria are going very smoothly.  "Wu Qingzhong didn't lie. We seized millions of kilograms of grain, and accidentally got information that the other party had a similar organization in southern Manchuria.  The food shortage in southern Manchuria is probably related to them.  " Zhang Xinghan was very happy when he heard this and said: "Immediately call back to commend the troops, and also ask them to quickly interrogate the criminals and Wu Qingzhong captured this time, and be sure to find out the situation about their complicity in the Southern Manchuria area.  " Guo Zhong stood up and said, "Yes.  "Turn around and leave. Jiang Baili said with a smile: "Commander, that's great. With this batch of grain, the food crisis can be temporarily alleviated. In a few months, when the summer grain is harvested, Rehe will be brought under our control.  We should be able to survive this year's cold winter, and after next year, we should have surplus food to stockpile.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Don't worry, after the Rehe problem is solved, I will find ways to import some industrial equipment from foreign countries, prepare to build a number of factories, and find ways to increase food production in the four northeastern provinces and develop the economy. Everything will gradually get better.  Get up.  "The two tank regiments quickly built two steel bridges. The tank regiment was the first to cross the river, followed closely by the motorized infantry regiment. Finally, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili of the air defense regiment crossed over with the guard battalion and the baggage team. "At this time,  The two tank regiments that were the first to cross the river had already arrived at Chifeng City. A communications officer came on a tricycle and asked Zhang Xinghan for instructions: "Commander.  Our tank division has arrived at the foot of Chifeng City, please give us instructions on the next step.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Tell your division commanders, don't rush to attack. If Sun Jun's troops in the city abandon the city and flee, don't intercept them and let them leave."  ” The communications officer saluted and responded: “Yes” …………… At the same time, Sun Dianying was leading the guards in a car to rush to Chengde. The guards did not carry a radio, so a telegram for help from the defenders in Chifeng City was sent to Liu Yueting.  After Liu Yueting received the telegram, it was too late to inform Sun Dianying, so he immediately ordered the Chifeng defenders to withdraw immediately before the Northeast Frontier Army besieged the city and retreat to Weichang County.  The Chifeng garrison, who had already been extremely frightened, immediately carried out the order cleanly and thoroughly. After leaving the city in fear, they found that the Northeast Frontier Guards showed no sign of attacking them, so they rushed toward the paddock.  The county town fled. Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered two motorized infantry regiments, a baggage train and his own guard battalion to station in Chifeng City. Two tank regiments and an air defense regiment were stationed outside the city and officially took over the city after dawn.  The agent lurking in Chengde came to Jiang Baili and said: "Chief of Staff, according to reliable information.  The 29th Army counterattacked at night. Sun Dianying's troops were defeated and Luanping was lost. Sun Dianying had fled back to Chengde overnight.  The situation in the entire Renan battlefield suddenly changed.  "    "Yeah?  Then isn't Sun Dianying's department in danger?  "Jiang Baili said. "The situation is still unclear. Our army has no agents in Fengning City. Intelligence from the agents lurking in Chengde shows that.  There is no sign that the 29th Army has entered Chengde.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and then said: "Let's do this. Immediately send electricity to Tongliao Airport and ask them to send several reconnaissance planes to fly to the Luanping area to reconnoiter the traces of the 29th Army. At the same time, arrange scouts and agents to conduct reconnaissance as soon as possible."  .  " "Okay, I'll do it right away.  "Jiang Baili nodded in response, turned and left. Chengde City, Sun Dianying's presidential palace. Sun Dianying was answering the phone with a livid face. A man's slightly crying voice came from the phone: "Commander, I couldn't contact you last night.  , Vice Chairman Liu ordered the subordinates to abandon Chifeng, and now Chifeng has fallen into the hands of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  " "Are there many casualties among the troops?  Sun Dianying asked while holding back his anger. On the other end of the phone: "There were no casualties. When we evacuated, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force did not attack our regiment."  " Sun Dianying wiped the top of his head and said: "You damn bitch, what song is Zhang Xinghan singing?  Listen to me, guard the besieged county, send more spies, closely monitor the movements of the Northeastern New Army, and report to me quickly if there is any trouble.  ” After saying that, Sun Dianying hung up with a bang.I put down the phone, and just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside.  Sun Dianying looked back and saw Liu Yueting walking in hurriedly with a dusty look on his face, one arm still tied with gauze.  "Brother Jingxuan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that his beloved general was injured, Sun Dianying didn't care to question Chifeng, and asked with concern.  Liu Yueting said with a look of shame on his face: "Chairman, last night I humbled myself and led my troops to defend Luanping County. However, the enemy attacked quickly and fiercely. Most of our main troops collapsed and disappeared. My humble soldiers were outnumbered and outnumbered. I led my troops in a bloody battle until midnight."  , was forced to lead his troops to break out, and was shot during the retreat. "Good brother, you don't have to blame yourself, just come back," Sun Dianying reassured.  "By the way, what are the losses of our army?" Sun Dianying asked.  "We don't know yet, but Chairman, you have returned to Chengde safe and sound. Once the brothers find out, they will definitely return to the army quickly," Liu Yueting said.  Sun Dianying nodded and said: "Jingxuan, Chifeng has fallen into the hands of Zhang Xinghan." Liu Yueting's expression changed and he said: "Chairman, the entire responsibility for this matter lies with me. Captain Niu claimed in the emergency call for help that Northeast New  The army came with an astonishing number of tanks and artillery troops. In addition, the situation was urgent last night. Before I could contact you, I ordered Commander Niu to retreat and abandon Chifeng." Sun Dianying patted him on the shoulder: "Jingxuan, you.  You did it right. I know you were trying to avoid unnecessary losses, so how could I blame you? It’s just that the current situation is critical and we have to find a way to remedy it quickly. " "Chairman, I think that the Northeast Border Defense Force turned up unexpectedly yesterday.  Instead of attacking our Chifeng defenders, they let them leave smoothly. Is this another sign to us?" Liu Yueting said.  Sun Dianying frowned when he heard this and said: "Yeah, given the situation at the time, Zhang Xinghan could have eaten one of our groups, but he didn't fire a shot. Why?" "Maybe he didn't want to fight with us at all.  Shall we start a war?" Liu Yueting said.  "Don't want to start a war with us? Then why did Zhang Xinghan mobilize his troops and march to Chifeng City?" Sun Dianying was confused.  "I can't explain this humble position, but since they have not launched an attack on our army, I think we can negotiate, at least there is room for maneuver. So, Chairman, I suggest you contact Zhang Xinghan again to see what they want.  What are you doing?" Liu Yueting said.  Sun Dianying carried it with one hand and paced back and forth a few times with a frown on his face, and finally decided: "Jingxuan, we won't send a telegram this time. We will personally send people with gifts to explore Zhang Xinghan's reality and see his true purpose.  "What on earth is it?" "In this case, you should work harder and go there in person to take some of the treasures we got from the Qing Dong Tomb last time to find out Zhang Xinghan's true identity and tell Zhang Xinghan that as long as he doesn't start a war with us, all of this will happen.  It's all easy to discuss. " "Yes, I have to do my duty. I'll do it right away." Liu Yueting stood up and saluted.  The day passed quickly. Zhang Xinghan led his troops to rest for a day in Chifeng. Instead of moving forward, they were waiting for news.  "Commander, intelligence officers have received news. Sun Dianying's ministries learned that Sun Dianying returned to Chengde safely, and they have gradually withdrawn to Chengde and returned to Jiande. After the 29th Army captured Luanping, they did not pursue the victory and march into Chengde, but stopped on the spot.  The information provided by our air force reconnaissance aircraft also confirmed that the units of the 29th Army in the Luanping area did not show any signs of moving eastward." Jiang Baili said.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan looked at the map calmly and said: "Sun Dianying's army was completely defeated last night. The 29th Army was willing to let go of such a good opportunity? It really surprised me." "The rabbit bites people when it is anxious.  , not to mention that Sun Dianying still has a considerable number of troops. It seems that Song Zheyuan and the others are also very smart. They agreed to join us in the crusade against Sun Dianying, but they stopped when they were ready on the battlefield and fought steadily to avoid excessive consumption.  The abacus is making a sound," Jiang Baili analyzed.  "Huh, since the war started, why did they stop right away?" Zhang Xinghan snorted coldly.  PS: This chapter is 4,000 words long. I hope you can support it by voting for a few more monthly votes. Thank you.  (To be continued

    "Send my order and the troops will gather immediately and march towards Ningcheng." Zhang Xinghan ordered.  Jiang Baili, Guo Zhong and others quickly stepped forward and said: "Yes!" Zhang Xinghan's order was quickly conveyed, and the two tank regiments took the lead and headed south along the Laoha River towards Ningcheng County.  Zhang Xinghan led two motorized infantry regiments, a guard battalion, an air defense regiment and baggage troops and then set off.  When Zhang Xinghan and his troops were about to arrive in Ningcheng, around one o'clock at noon, the troops were crossing the river.  A communications soldier ran over and saluted Zhang Xingjian: "Commander, Chief of Staff, when our reconnaissance force arrived in Ningcheng, they found a group of officers. They claimed to be sent by Sun Dianying to negotiate with us." "He.  Shall we negotiate?" Zhang Xinghan turned to look at Jiang Baili and smiled: "What is the situation in Ningcheng now?" "Sun Jun stationed in Ningcheng did not flee and abandon the city this time. Ningcheng is still in their hands, and the tanks are still in their hands.  The division is waiting for your order whether to attack," the signal soldier said.  "Don't rush to attack. Didn't Sun Dianying send a Laoshizi negotiation team? Bring them to see me. I want to see what Sun Mazi, the tomb-robber general, has planned." Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand.  "Yes!" The communications soldier responded quickly and turned around to leave.  More than half an hour later, in a woods on the north bank of the Laoha River.  Liu Yueting and several of his followers came to Zhang Xinghan nervously after being carefully searched by Guo Zhong and other guards.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had already set up a table in the woods, and they were sitting upright.  Liu Yueting looked at the two people in front of him, smiled nervously and said: "My Excellency, Liu Yueting, Sun Dianying, Chairman of Rehe Province, has sent me to pay a visit to General Zhang and Mr. Jiang." "General Liu, don't be formal, please sit down.  "Jiang Baili saw that he was nervous, gave him a step, and waved his hand.  "Thank you, thank you." Liu Yueting cast a grateful look at Jiang Baili, but did not do anything.  He continued: "Our Chairman Sun has admired General Zhang's reputation for a long time. He specially ordered me to bring a few small profits, and asked General Zhang to accept it." With that, Liu Yueting waved his hand back, and several followers immediately carried two large wooden logs.  The box came over.  Liu Yueting opened the boxes one by one and saw that a box was filled with gleaming gold, silver, jewelry, jade and jade.  Under the sunlight, it shines brightly and looks particularly dazzling.  "The other box only has a rectangular box, and I don't know what's inside.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had slight surprise in their eyes.  Then Liu Yueting opened the wooden box and took out a sword.  "General Zhang, this is a Longquan sword passed down from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. Such a sword can only be equipped by an unparalleled hero like General Zhang." Liu Yueting drooled, holding the sword in both hands with great interest.  The way.  As the saying goes, flattering can never be worn. Although Zhang Xinghan knew that Liu Yueting's trip must have a purpose, he was also elated by Liu Yueting's words of praise, and a smile appeared on his eyebrows.  Zhang Xinghan stood up.  He took the sword with a smile and took a look at it. He saw that the sword was exquisitely decorated and the scabbard was made of high-grade ancient wood.  The traces of time can clearly be seen on it, but the decoration is still very clear, which shows the excellence of its material.  Out of interest, Zhang Xinghan grabbed the hilt and suddenly drew the sword.  There was a clanging sound, the sword was drawn out, and a cold light suddenly dazzled the eyes.  A dragon is carved on the sword, which is lifelike.  He moved the blade of the sword with his thumb. Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but nod and praised: "Yes, the blade is tough and sharp. It is a good sword." "General Zhang, as far as I know, this Longquan sword is strong and sharp, and can cut iron like iron."  Mu, General, you can give it a try," Liu Yueting said.  "Iron is like clay?" Zhang Xinghan smiled secretly. These are all fabrications in martial arts novels. How can they be believed?  Of course there are swords that can cut through sticks about the thickness of a child’s arm.  With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Xinghan swung his sword and chopped off a branch on the side. With a clang, the branch about 20 millimeters thick was instantly cut off.  ??Looking carefully, I saw that the break was very flat and smooth, and the sharpness of the sword was evident.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were both a little surprised and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, yes, this sword is indeed very good." "General Liu, thank Chairman Sun for me." Zhang Xinghan took back the sword and said to Liu Yueting.  "I will definitely do it despite my humble position." Liu Yueting lowered his head with joy in his heart.  "Okay, General Liu, let's talk about business." After sitting down, Zhang Xinghan put the sword on the table and said.  Liu Yueting also sat downThen, he said with a respectful tone: "General Zhang, to be honest, our army was fighting fiercely with the 29th Army, and unfortunately it was defeated by it yesterday. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our army. Chairman Sun asked me to come because he wanted to fight with Zhang  General, please discuss it. As long as General Zhang supports our Chairman Sun, we, Chairman Sun, will agree to any conditions." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan looked at Liu Yueting, took out a cigarette and said, "General Liu,  What if I want all of your 41st Army to withdraw from Rehe?" Liu Yueting's face suddenly changed when he heard this, he was a little overwhelmed, laughed twice, and said: "General Zhang is really good at joking, our Chairman Sun is officially appointed by the National Government.  The provincial chairman of Rehe Province also serves as the commander of the 41st Army. The defense area of ????the 41st Army is also Rehe Province. You just said that we should withdraw from Rehe. I am afraid this cannot be explained to the central government, right?"  Smiling, he said in a serious tone: "I'm not joking with you. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing doesn't need your explanation." Seeing Zhang Xinghan still pressuring him like this after receiving the gift, Liu Yueting felt annoyed, but he could only  I vented my heart, the strength of the Northeastern New Army was obvious to all.  Liu Yueting didn’t have the guts to fall out with Zhang Xinghan immediately. Who knows if he would kill himself in a rage?  After suppressing his anger and calming down secretly, Liu Yueting continued to be respectful and polite: "General Zhang, you asked our Chairman Sun to lead the 41st Army to withdraw from Rehe, but there is no Nanjing government to assign another station. You asked us  Where should we retreat? There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in our 41st Army. If we leave Rehe, we will really be homeless. Please forgive me." Zhang Xinghan pretended to ponder for a while, then raised his head and said.  : "Well, anyway, the 41st Army also fought against the Japanese invaders. Seeing that Sun Dianying has also contributed to the nation, I will give you a clear way." "General Zhang, please speak." Liu Yueting heard this.  He said with eager eyes.  "After exiting Rehe, the 41st Army marched into Chahar." Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese.  Liu Yueting's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "What? General Zhang, are you sure you are not mistaken? Marching into Chahar?" "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded: "I am not mistaken, it is Chahar,  Although it is a little smaller than Rehe, it is enough for your 41st Army to settle down and survive." Liu Yueting said with a bitter face: "General Zhang, you don't know something. Chahar is basically under the control of the 29th Army now.  , and now that our army is newly defeated, the 29th Army is almost approaching Chengde City. It will be too difficult for us to defeat them and capture Chahar. " "What do you think if we have the support of our Northeast Frontier Defense Force?  Is it still a problem to defeat the 29th Army?" Jiang Baili asked from the side.  "Is Mr. Jiang serious? Is your army really willing to help us deal with the 29th Army?" Liu Yueting said overjoyed.  He looked at Jiang Baili and then turned his attention to Zhang Xinghan.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan nodding, Liu Yueting was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Great, with your help, even the ten 29th Army will not be our opponent." "Wait a minute, General Liu, don't be happy yet.  It's too early, there are conditions." Seeing that he was extremely excited, Zhang Xinghan said.  Liu Yueting suddenly nodded repeatedly: "I wonder what conditions you have, General Zhang? As long as it is within our capabilities, we will try our best to satisfy you." Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, please talk to General Liu about the specific conditions.  ” …………… Early the next morning, the sky was not completely bright yet. After a night of urgent travel, Liu Yueting finally saw the city wall of Chengde.  At this time, Sun Dianying was still sleeping soundly with his little wife in his arms.  Suddenly there was a series of hurried knocks outside the door, "Chairman, Chairman, wake up quickly." "Who is it?" Sun Dianying and the little wife in his arms were very dissatisfied that their sweet dreams were disturbed.  "Chairman, I am Jingxuan. I have something urgent to report." Liu Yueting's anxious voice came from outside the door.  "Oh, Jingxuan is back. Just wait a moment, I'll come right away." Sun Dianying also knew that Liu Yueting's trip was closely related, so she felt no sleepiness at all.  "Baby, you can go to sleep by yourself, I have to take care of the military affairs." Sun Dianying said to the little wife in his arms with a pockmarked smile that was uglier than crying.  "Master, what time is it? You got up so early, and I still want you to hold me to sleep." Sun Dazi's little wife is a promiscuous woman. Her coquettishness and coquettishness are unrivaled, and the coquettishness of her voice almost makes Sun Dazi.  The bones were crispy.  After touching her high breasts twice and patting her plump Mopan buttocks, Sun Dianying dressed and left with satisfaction.  When he came outside the door, Liu Yueting came earlyAlready impatient, he was pacing back and forth, like an ant on a hot pot.  "Jingxuan, why are you so anxious? How was the negotiation with Zhang Xinghan this time?" Sun Dianying asked with a haha.  "Chairman, I have an unexpected surprise for you. Zhang Xinghan has agreed to help us deal with the 29th Army." Liu Yueting said with a smile.  "What? Really?" Sun Dianying was overjoyed at first, then looked at Liu Yueting warily and said, "Jingxuan, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Will Zhang Xinghan help us deal with Song Zheyuan for no reason?" "The chairman is wise.  "Liu Yueting immediately informed Sun Dianying of Zhang Xinghan's request to abandon Rehe and march to Chahar.  Asking for a monthly ticket!  !  !  (To be continued

    "You want us to withdraw from Rehe? Help us capture Chahar?" Sun Dianying fell into deep thought after hearing this.  "Yes, Zhang Xinghan said that his assistance to us was not to directly send troops, but to ask us to exchange food with them for weapons and equipment. They seized a considerable number of Japanese and Soviet weapons in the battle against Japan and the Soviet Union.  Especially Japanese weapons and equipment, as much as we need. In order to show his support for us, he will exchange the weapons for us at a price lower than the market price. At the same time, the air force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will dispatch air support in a timely manner. "  Liu Yueting said.  Sun Dianying frowned and said: "Jingxuan, it is feasible to exchange this food for weapons. We have plenty of food, and the air support is extremely beneficial to us. If Zhang Xinghan can really do what he says, then we have to hand over the heat."  The river is fine. But have you ever thought about it? Zhang Xinghan has stated that he will not send troops to participate in this battle. In other words, the battle will still be between us and the 29th Army, even if we are defeated with the help of their air force and weapons and equipment.  Song Zheyuan's 29th Army. So after capturing Chahar, if Zhang Xinghan turns his back and takes over Chahar while we have suffered heavy losses and are severely weakened, what will we do then? Have you thought about this problem?  "Unexpectedly, Liu Yueting said very calmly: "Chairman, I have carefully considered the issue you are worried about on the way back." "Oh?" Sun Dianying was curious.  Looking at Liu Yueting.  "Chairman, I haven't eaten or drank all night. Let me have a drink of water first, and then I will explain to you." Liu Yueting said suddenly.  Sun Dianying brought Liu Yueting to the conference room.  I poured him a glass of water myself.  Liu Yueting took the water glass and drank it all. After taking a few deep breaths, he walked to the map, pointed at the map and said to Sun Dianying: "Chairman, come, take a look at this map." Sun Dianying came over.  After looking at it, he said in confusion: "Jingxuan, what are you showing me? Is there anything strange?" Liu Yueting said: "Chairman, please take a closer look at the military situation in the five provinces of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Resui and the Ping-Tianjin region.  "I saw Sun Dianying staring at the map and lost in thought.  Liu Yueting said: "First of all, let's take a look at the situation around Chahar and Rehe. To the east is the Northeastern Frontier Defense Army, which covers an area of ??one million square kilometers in the three northeastern provinces. To the south is the former Northeastern Army that is occupying Pingjin, and to the southwest is Yan.  The Jinsui Army in Xishan and the Ma Jiajun in the northwest are located in Rehe. Zhang Xinghan took advantage of the conflict between us and the 29th Army to forcefully move into Rehe.  . Zhang Xinghan’s purpose is very clear, which is to capture Rehe, but he does not want to fight with the 29th Army in person. That’s why he thought of assisting us. He occupied Rehe and gave us Chahar. The reason why Zhang Xinghan dared to do so.  He will not burn bridges and add insult to injury. That is because he does not want to directly border the most powerful Shanxi-Sui Army. After all, he has to guard against the Soviets and the Japanese, as well as the former Northeastern Army in Pingjin.  You can have a good buffer zone." After listening to Liu Yueting's analysis, Sun Dianying still frowned and said, "Even if Yueting's analysis is correct, isn't it true that we left Rehe and entered Chahar.  Are you trapped to death? No matter the Jinsui Army or the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, we can't afford it." "Chairman, don't be too pessimistic. Although Chahar is also a place of the Fourth War, it doesn't matter to us.  It is also a rare opportunity. Although Chahar is not as large as Rehe, it has a larger population and much better economic conditions. It will be of great benefit to our future development as long as we can defeat the 29th Army.  , try our best to recruit their remnants to expand our strength, and gradually develop with the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Once the time is right, there is still much potential, at least compared to the current joint attack by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the 29th Army.  A miserable defeat, okay? Zhang Xinghan has already said that if we don’t agree, he will unite with the 29th Army to attack us from east to west. At that time, he can still occupy Rehe, but the 29th Army can still have Chahar as a foothold.  Land, but where should we go?" Liu Yueting said earnestly.  Seeing that Sun Dianying was a little moved, Liu Yueting struck while the iron was hot: "Chairman, look at the map. Chahar borders Suiyuan. If conditions permit, we can really send our troops north, cross the Yellow River, and march to the northwest. As a  "King of the Northwest." Sun Dianying was obviously convinced by Liu Yueting and deliberately meditated.After a meeting, he slapped the table and said: "Jingxuan, you are right. I have decided to do as you say. You are fully responsible for this matter!" "Yes!" Liu Yueting was overjoyed and stood up and saluted: "Chairman, please  Don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter." Outside Ningcheng, the troops led by Zhang Xinghan have been stationed here.  In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was discussing things with Jiang Baili, when Guo Zhong walked in with a telegram.  "Commander, Chief of Staff, Liu Yueting called. Sun Dianying has agreed to our terms. Now Liu Yueting is urgently raising food and asking us to prepare weapons." "Yes, I understand." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Jiang Baili:  "Chief of Staff, please make arrangements for Zang Shiyi to prepare Japanese equipment and some ammunition for two divisions and transport them to Chifeng as soon as possible. In addition, Gao Zhihang will be notified to dispatch a group of fighter planes to the Tongliao Airport and be on standby." "Yes.  , I'll do it right away." Jiang Baili stood up and responded.  ………………… Zhangjiakou, 29th Army Headquarters.  Song Zheyuan was wearing a military uniform and was holding a military meeting. Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian and other generals also rushed back from the front line, which shows the importance of this meeting.  Song Zheyuan sat in the first place, with Xiao Zhenying and Zhang Zizhong sitting on his left and right sides respectively.  And deputy commander Tong Linge stayed on the front line to preside over the military.  "Everyone, you fought brilliantly in the battle of Fengning. It severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of Sun Dazi's bandits, and greatly boosted the morale of our 29th Army officers. The counterattack also led to the capture of Luanping in one fell swoop. You all deserved a great deal of credit.  No." Song Zheyuan spoke first to break the silence.  "Military seat, our army succeeded in the battle the night before and defeated Sun's army. Now is a great opportunity to go straight to Chengde and capture Rehe. Why did the military headquarters stop us and miss the opportunity? As far as I know,  In the past two days, Sun's bandits have gathered again after hearing that Sun Dianying was in Chengde. Sun's army is showing signs of returning to its former strength. "The person who spoke was Liu Ruming, the temporary commander of the 2nd Division.  "Commander Liu, the reason why our army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it is to avoid falling into a bitter battle and suffering greater losses. Otherwise, we would be fooled by Zhang Xinghan." Xiao Zhenying, who was sitting at the lower left of Song Zheyuan, said: "A few days ago. Zhang Xinghan  Suddenly led his troops into the heat, nominally ordered to unite our army to attack Sun Dianying, but in fact he did not engage in firefights with Sun Dianying's army, let alone attack. It was obvious that he wanted our 29th Army to fight with the 41st Army, so that he could sit back and take it easy.  Therefore, after discussing with the military leader, I decided to stop the counterattack against Sun Jun to avoid falling into a trap and let Zhang Xinghan take advantage." Zhang Zizhong nodded and asked, "Let's go next.  What should we do? Should we continue like this? " "Let's keep things unchanged for the time being and see if Sun Dianying will conflict with Zhang Xinghan." Xiao Zhenying said.  Xiao Zhenying is almost the real leader of the 29th Army, and his words are more effective than Song Zheyuan's.  Song Zheyuan nodded quickly and said: "What Chief of Staff Xiao said makes sense, just do as he said. I have prepared a reception banquet for you at the restaurant in the city. Please dismiss the meeting and go to the banquet."  … Beiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  "Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan did indeed lead a team of more than 20,000 people into Rehe. The day before yesterday, he captured Chifeng without any blood, and yesterday he led his troops to Ningcheng. At present, the 29th Army and Sun Dianying's 41st Army have all ceased fire. The situation in Rehe is strange.  Very good." Rong Jing, the former Chief of Staff of the Northeast Army, reported to Zhang Xueliang.  "Hmph, this son of a bitch Zhang Xinghan, he is really greedy. He has occupied our three eastern provinces and wants to get involved in Rehe." Zhang Shaoshuai said angrily: "Chief of Staff Rong, you immediately order Wan Fulin to lead him  The two divisions sent troops to Miyun and Huairou to advance toward Rehe. "In addition, we will send electricity to Yan Xishan and explain the pros and cons to him, and ask him to join us in dealing with Zhang Xinghan." "Young Marshal, our army has just experienced a defeat outside the pass.  It is very large, and it has not yet regained its strength. Now participating in the Rehe dispute will probably cause immeasurable losses. Moreover, Yan Xishan has always been cunning. In the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army was unable to support itself, which eventually led to the anti-Chiang War.  Total failure. Will he fight Zhang Xinghan with us?" Rong Jin advised with a worried look.  "Chief of Staff, at this moment, Zhang Xinghan's strength is not what it used to be, and his ambition is obvious. If he is allowed to occupy Rehe and Chahar. Then his next target will be Jinsui and Pingjin. Today  Zhang Zhishi was even more powerful than Chairman Chiang Kai-shek back then. Yan Xishan was sureHe also knows this, so he will agree.  "Shaoshuai Zhang said. ……………………… Shanxi, Yan Xishan’s residence in Taiyuan. A middle-aged officer with a nervous look and wearing a military uniform was walking towards Yan Xishan’s office holding a message. This person is Yang Aiyuan, Yang Aiyuan.  He was a fellow villager of Yan Xishan in Wutai Mountain. He was loyal and honest, and won Yan Xishan's new appointment as his right-hand man and close confidant. After Yan and Feng failed in the war against Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan tried to ease Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang's treatment of him.  After the attack, he decided to go to Dalian to avoid the destruction of his hometown in Shanxi. Since then, he has become Yan Xishan's substitute, continuing to control the military and political power in Shanxi, and has always been loyal to Yan Xishan's office.  He said loudly: "Report!  " A voice with a strong Shanxi accent came from inside: "Come in."  " Yang Aiyuan walked in with her head held high. "Xingru, my dear brother, what's the matter?  " Yan Xishan saw him coming in, stood up and greeted him. "Chairman, this is the call from Zhang Xueliang that I just received from Peking. Please take a look.  " Yang Aiyuan handed the telegram in his hand to Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan looked at him doubtfully, took the telegram, opened it and read it. After reading, Yan Xishan looked a little silent, raised his head and asked: "Xingru, what do you think about this?  What do you think?  " "Zhang Xinghan swept through the Japanese and Russian armies in just two or three years, taking the entire three northeastern provinces into his pocket, and now he has extended his tentacles out of Rehe.  “As Zhang Xueliang said, this man is very ambitious, but he also has the strength.  "Yang Aiyuan said ambiguously. "Brother Xingru, I know everything you said. What do you think we should do?  To send troops or not to send troops?  "Yan Xishan said. "I believe that although Zhang Xinghan sends troops to Rehe, it will not threaten us in the short term.  Because his Northeastern New Army had just ended the war with the Japanese and Russian troops, and was in urgent need of rest and recovery, it was impossible to launch another major battle in a short period of time.  In addition, there are Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and other troops in front of us. In fact, the one who is most anxious is the former majestic Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force, Zhang Shaoshuai.  He was defeated repeatedly at the hands of Zhang Xinghan. He had old and new grudges and wished he could kill Zhang Xinghan immediately.  Now that Zhang Xinghan is involved in Rehe again, it is reasonable for him to be unable to sit still, but there is no need for us to follow him and offend Zhang Xinghan prematurely.  "Yang Aiyuan said. Yan Xishan nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "You're right, our Shanxi New Army is also in the process of training, and we really can't have an accident at this time.  " "Then I called Shaoshuai Zhang back.  "Yang Aiyuan said. "Well, go ahead and pay attention to your wording.  "Yan Xishan said. "Yes!  "Yang Aiyuan saluted, turned around and accepted the order to leave. Ningcheng County. "Commander, the weapons have been airlifted to Chifeng by our Air Force Transport Brigade. We are just waiting for Sun Dianying's food.  "Jiang Baili said: "More than twenty bombers and fighter jets from our army are also stationed at Tongliao Airport and are ready to take off at any time.  "Chief of Staff, one thing you have to bear in mind is that in the coming days, all aircraft taking off in our military will be conducting routine flight training and military exercises."  There is no intention to target any party. If there is a mistake and accidentally attacks other friendly forces, it is purely a misunderstanding.  "Zhang Xinghan looked at him with some deep meaning. Jiang Baili raised his head and laughed and said: "The commander is wise, Baili remembers it, and he will definitely remember it.  " At this time, Guo Zhong walked in excitedly and saluted: "Commander, Chief of Staff, the first batch of food for the 41st Army has arrived.  "    "oh?  Yeah?  where?  How much food is there?  " Zhang Xinghan said. "I don't know the exact number, but the convoy pulling food is several miles long.  "Guo Zhong couldn't restrain his excitement. Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan meaningfully and said, "Commander, it seems that Sun Dianying really has a lot of food reserves. He has raised so much in such a period of time.  food.  ” ps: Four thousand words per page, and monthly votes will be double compensated tomorrow! (To be continued.

    Zhang Xinghan smiled knowingly and walked forward. Jiang Baili, Guo Zhong and others quickly followed.  "General Zhang, who serves under Shi Ming, is specially ordered by Chairman Sun Dianying to escort grain to exchange weapons and equipment with your army." Seeing Zhang Xinghan and others arriving, a middle-aged officer in his thirties or forties came to greet you.  Stand up and salute and introduce yourself.  "It turns out it's General Yu. You've been working hard all the way." Zhang Xinghan saluted back, shook hands with him and asked cordially: "General Yu, I wonder how much food you brought this time?" "Reporting to General Zhang, Shi Ming, this is  A total of 200,000 kilograms of grain was brought this time, and another 800,000 kilograms of grain will be delivered later, but our army's transportation capacity is limited and must be delivered in batches." Yu Shiming was a little flattered by Zhang Xinghan's enthusiasm and replied quickly. ? ? ? ? ? ? Zhang Xinghan sneered secretly, maybe it was just to test whether I would change your weapons?  Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili and motioned for him to come forward. Jiang Baili nodded in understanding and said to Shi Ming: "General Yu, according to the price of grain in Peiping, Shanghai and other places, these two hundred thousand kilograms of grain are equivalent to about ten thousand oceans. (  At that time, during the Republic of China, the price of flour was only 1 yuan per pound, let alone wheat and other grains that had not yet been made into flour.) Well, we will calculate it as 10,000 yuan, and the Japanese equipment will be given to you at the cheapest price.  , who made us friendly forces? Each 38-type rifle is equipped with twenty rounds of bullets. After calculation, 10,000 yuan can be exchanged for a total of 500 38-type rifles." Yu Shiming was angry.  It’s unfair to say that it’s so shameless to use the price of grain in Peiping and Shanghai to set the price.  The past two years have been relatively smooth in North China and Jiangnan in the Central Plains, and grain prices have remained at a very stable level.  “And the price of food in your Northeast has already increased tenfold.  According to the price of grain in Northeast China, this 200,000 kilograms of grain is worth 180,000 yuan, and the minimum is 50,000 yuan, right?  It is most reasonable to give me 2,000 rifles, but you only give 500. You bunch of profiteers, who don’t know that your weapons and equipment are all captured by the Japanese, they are almost free, and you can sell them for a piece of ocean.  It’s also a big profit.  However, Yu Shiming could only complain about these words in his heart and did not dare to express them.  It's just that I didn't agree so happily.  Zhang Xinghan was relatively kind. Seeing Yu Shiming's troubled expression, he immediately spoke up and said: "Chief of Staff, no matter what, we and the 41st Army will be allies from now on. So, to show my sincerity, I will give you five hundred more."  A rifle, with thirty more bullets for each shot. What do you think?" Yu Shiming saw Zhang Xinghan opened his mouth and gave him twice as much. He nodded and said, "Thank you, General Zhang. I will give it to us.  Chairman Sun conveyed your wishes." "It's just a matter of effort." Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved.  &&&&&&& Chengde, 41st Army Headquarters.  There was a crisp "bang" sound.  A ceramic tea cup was smashed to pieces by Sun Dianying, and he cursed angrily: "What a bastard! I only exchanged one million kilograms of grain for more than 3,000 rifles, a dozen heavy machine guns, and not even an artillery piece."  Come?" Liu Yueting hurriedly advised: "Chairman, please calm down. According to the normal food price, Zhang Xinghan has given us a lot of weapons." "Who the hell doesn't know that he is sitting on it.  In the Shenyang Arsenal, weapons and equipment were nothing to him. Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army and Soviet troops were defeated by him successively. The captured Japanese-style and Soviet-style weapons alone were enough for him to arm half a million people.  How high has the price of grain in the Northeast increased now? Why doesn't he exchange it with us according to the price of grain in the Northeast?" Sun Dianying blushed and roared: "Also, the box of jewelry and the Longquan sword that I gave him, those things?  It must be worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, right? "They are all royal items, especially the Longquan sword, which is absolutely priceless." Liu Yueting also sighed, secretly thinking that Zhang Xinghan was too stingy, and he did not do this properly.  ah.  "Chairman, please be patient, please allow me to negotiate with Zhang Xinghan again, and we will definitely get more weapons and equipment for us." Liu Yueting said to Sun Dianying.  Sun Dianying snorted coldly and waved his hands: "Go." "General Zhang, I am here to ask you a favor." Outside Ningcheng, where the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is stationed, Liu  Yueting said to Zhang Xinghan cautiously.  "Oh? What's the matter? General Liu, please tell me. We are allies now. If you have any difficulties, just tell us." Old God Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "Let's be honest about your humble position." Liu Yueting said: "Our Chairman Sun is a little dissatisfied with the number of weapons exchanged for one million kilograms of grain. After all, the 29th Army we have to deal with is a tough opponent, and Chairman Sun also hopes that  Our army can haveWe have powerful enough weapons and equipment, soGeneral Zhang, do you think you can give me more weapons?  If nothing else, just look at Chairman Sun for being so generous in giving you some small gifts to the general.  " "Oh, you're talking about those jewelry and the Longquan sword.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, stood up and said to Liu Yueting: "General Liu, do you know how much a ton of aviation gasoline is?"  Liu Yueting shook his head, and Zhang Xinghan continued: "Then do you know how much an aerial bomb costs?"  Liu Yueting still shook his head, and Zhang Xinghan said: "Then General Liu, you probably don't know that a plane takes off in fuel and ammunition, which is equivalent to how many oceans it takes."  Let me tell you, when a fighter or bomber takes off for combat, it consumes more fuel and ammunition than hundreds of rifles.  In order to support your ground attack, I have mobilized more than thirty fighter planes this time. In the next period of time, they will take off at any time to provide strong air support for your army.  The consumption I have paid, to be honest, even if the price of food is increased tenfold, your one million kilograms of food will barely be enough to cover the expenses of my air force, but I have not paid for the loss of aircraft or the life safety guarantee of pilots.  You are counted.  It is no exaggeration to say that these thousands of light and heavy weapons of mine are basically provided to your army free of charge. How can Chairman Sun still have too few?  "Liu Yueting was dumbfounded and embarrassed by Zhang Xinghan's analysis. He apologized and left in despair. "Commander, I didn't expect you to have such potential for doing business. I think you want to do business.  You can make a lot of money.  "After Liu Yueting left, Guo Zhong said with a smile. "What do you know, kid? This is called careful calculation. How can there be a free lunch these days?  Is it possible for Sun Mazi to get our assistance without paying any price?  Are you really taking me as your scapegoat?  Zhang Xinghan said. …………… Liu Yueting returned to Chengde and reported Zhang Xinghan’s eloquent remarks to Sun Dianying. After hearing this, Sun Dianying was stunned at first, and then cursed angrily: “Damn, profiteer, Zhang Xinghan  This bastard is a fucking profiteer.  "Three days later, Sun Dianying successively took out more than 500,000 grains and exchanged a batch of artillery and artillery shells from Zhang Xinghan. In order to ensure that Sun Dianying's 41st Army could defeat the 29th Army and seize the Chahar territory, Zhang Xinghan  He was given more shells and artillery, which greatly strengthened Sun's army's combat effectiveness. After almost half a month of rest and reloading, Sun Dianying's troops regained their momentum and marched from Chengde in mid-April under the cover of the Northeast Frontier Army Air Force.  Marching westward, the 29th Army was prepared to attack in the direction of Luanping County. The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire near Luanping. However, Sun Jun had replaced a considerable number of Japanese weapons at this time, and its combat power was improved.  Greatly improved. With the assistance of the Northeast Frontier Army Air Force, after a day of fierce fighting between the two sides, the 29th Army finally failed to retreat due to too many casualties, and then the 41st Army recaptured Luanping County and continued to attack Fengning.  . Zhangjiakou, 29th Army Headquarters. Song Zheyuan and others looked solemn, and the atmosphere in the conference room was quite tense. "Military seat, Sun Dianying's department has received full support from Zhang Xinghan, not only for the upgrade of weapons and equipment, but also for the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Air Force.  Air support.  Our frontline divisions simply cannot resist it.  " Liu Ruming, the temporary commander of the second division, said with a sad face. "Zhang Xinghan is so cunning that he actually colluded with Sun Dianying again.  "Song Zheyuan sighed. Xiao Zhenying said: "He must have known that we were aware of his conspiracy to drive away tigers and devour wolves. Seeing that our army was stagnant, he turned to support Sun Dianying to attack us.  " Song Zheyuan didn't say anything. There was no right or wrong in the warlord war, and there were no good or bad guys. They were all driven by interests. It was the same for him, so he did not insult Zhang Xinghan from the commanding heights of national justice, but fell into deep contemplation.  Seeing that Xiao Zhenying and Song Zheyuan were silent, Liu Ruming looked anxious and said: "Military seat, sitting seat, why don't you speak?  What should we do next?  If this continues, Fengning City may not be able to defend itself.  " Xiao Zhenying was silent for a long time, looked up at Song Zheyuan, and said: "Military seat, the situation has turned sharply now, which is extremely unfavorable to our army. In order to preserve our strength, I think we can no longer fight Sun Dianying to the death. Save  Strength, and trying to develop in the future is the right choice.  Song Zheyuan nodded and said thoughtfully: "The chief of staff is right. He immediately ordered Zhang Zizhong to abandon Fengning County tonight and the whole army to withdraw to Chahar!"  "    "yes!  "Xiao Zhenying took the order and left. &nbsp; …………… “Commander, the 29th Army retreated without a fight last night, and the 41st Army under Sun Dianying captured Fengning. It is currently resting in Fengning and is preparing to continue its westward march to capture Chahar.”  Guo Zhong took the telegram and reported to Zhang Xinghanhui.  "It's almost time. Send power to Sun Dianying and ask him to quickly evacuate the defenders in Ningcheng County. It's time to fulfill your promise." Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.  "Yes, I'll leave now." Guo Zhong happily accepted the order and left.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 297: Strategy for Rehe (7) Second Update

    "Commander, something unexpected happened." Just as Guo Zhong left, Jiang Baili walked in in a hurry.  "What's wrong? What's going on?" Zhang Xinghan asked with sudden surprise when he saw Jiang Baili's expression was abnormal.  "I just received news that about two divisions of the Northeast Army have begun to gather from the Miyun and Huaihua areas. Their purpose is intriguing." Jiang Baili said.  "Northeast Army?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan turned to look at the map and said with a slight smile: "It seems that Marshal Zhang is still unwilling to be lonely. Could it be that he also wants to interfere in the battle of Jehol?" "It's very possible." Jiang Baili said.  "Inform Sun Dianying of this news and ask him to pay attention to it, so as not to be attacked by the Northeast Army in Luanping or Chengde and cut off the retreat." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, are we still standing still? Should we move the troops forward?" Jiang Baili said worriedly: "If Zhang Xueliang really intends to intervene in the Rehe War, he will definitely stand on our opposite side to deal with Sun Dianying. I'm worried about Sun Dianying.  Dian Ying's 41st Army cannot defeat the combined efforts of the 29th Army and the Northeastern Army. " Zhang Xinghan said firmly: "Don't worry, even if the Northeastern Army intends to intervene, then we should not push too far forward for the time being, especially Chengde, that is Sun.  "Dianying's lair. Before he breaks into Chahar, we can't provoke him too much, lest he become suspicious and harm our plan." "Of course, if Sun Dianying's troops are in trouble again on the front line, then he will be in trouble.  Naturally, they will ask us for help and send troops.” Jiang Baili nodded: “That makes sense.” …………… Chengde, 41st Army Headquarters.  "Commander. A regiment of our army stationed in Ningcheng has evacuated three hours ago, and Zhang Xinghan's troops have now moved in." Liu Yueting was reporting to Sun Dianying.  "Well. How is our attacking force doing now?" Sun Dianying nodded and asked.  "We are resting in Fengning. We can set off tomorrow to attack Chicheng County." Liu Yueting replied.  "No, the soldiers are very quick. Tell Tan Songting not to wait any longer. The troops will set off immediately and advance towards Chicheng County as quickly as possible." Sun Dianying said.  "Yes." Liu Yueting stood up and responded.  Just as he was about to leave, he saw another confidant of Sun Dianying, Li Xijiu, walking in in a hurry.  Li Xijiu once studied in Japan and was an early member of the Tongmenghui. Sun Dianying tried his best to win over the highly respected Li Xijiu.  In the end, Li Xijiu agreed to Sun Dianying's request and became his senior military adviser.  Sun Dian’s heroic work relies on Tan Songting, Liu Yueting, Ding Mou, Liu Guangde, Yu Shiming, Gao Xiaxuan, Xia Weili, Yang Qianqing, Meng Qingcheng, Wei Yuegong and others, and his literary work relies on Li Xijiu and Nan Hanchen.  Among them, Liu Yueting and Tan Songting are capable talents with both civil and military skills.  Formed a small military group of his own, these people are the backbone of his survival.  Because Li Xijiu had an unusual status and was highly respected, when they saw him coming, Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting both hurriedly and respectfully greeted him.  "Mr. Li, are you here?" Sun Dianying spoke first.  "Mr. Li, I see you look in a hurry, what happened to make you so panicked?" Liu Yueting also said.  "I just passed by the telecommunications room, and Section Chief Li just received an urgent telegram. I looked at it and thought it was very important. So I took it over myself." Li Xijiu said and handed the telegram in his hand to Sun Dianying and said to him: "  Commander Sun, please take a look. This is the latest telegram sent by Zhang Xinghan. "The content above tells us that Zhang Xueliang has sent two divisions of troops, and his movements are very worthy of our vigilance," Li Xijiu continued.  After reading the telegram, Sun Dianying handed it to Liu Yueting and said with some shock: "What a bastard, Zhang Xiaoliu, this bastard, wants to get involved?!" "Commander Sun, I suggest you do it in advance.  "We are well prepared. The Northeast Army has gathered in the Miyun and Huaihua areas and may send troops to attack Luanping County at any time and cut off the retreat of our attacking troops," Li Xijiu said.  "Military seat, Li Laoyan is right. We can't rule out that Zhang Xueliang and Song Zheyuan have secretly formed an alliance to join forces to deal with our army." Liu Yueting also nodded in agreement with a cold sweat.  When they said this, Sun Dianying also became nervous and said in a panic: "If this is really the case, what should we do?" Li Xijiu pondered for a while and said: "In my opinion, I want to deal with the Song and Zhang coalition forces.  , the only choice was to ask Zhang Xinghan to lead his Northeast Frontier Army. In the recent battle of Jinzhou, he defeated Zhang Xueliang's nearly 100,000 troops with less than 30,000 troops. " "Mr. Li is right, Zhang Xinghan's troops.  Well equipped, well trained, with heavy artillery.And there is a powerful air force. As long as they join the battle, not to mention Zhang Xueliang, even the Jinsui Army in full swing is no match.  "Liu Yueting nodded and said. "But Zhang Xinghan is so cunning, how can he be involved in the battle? I guess he wants us to fight with the 29th Army and the Northeastern Army to lose both sides.  "Sun Dianying rarely said something correct. "The beginning of the war is just for profit. Whether Zhang Xinghan is willing to participate in the war depends on how much benefit you give him, General Sun.  "Li Xijiu said meaningfully. "Pay the benefits?  Sun Dianying said: "Please tell Mr. Li clearly."  " "What is Zhang Xinghan's purpose in sending troops to Rehe?  "Li Xijiu didn't answer the question. "It's Rehe Province. His purpose is already very clear. He will help us capture Chahar and he will get Rehe Province.  "Liu Yueting answered first. Li Xijiu stopped talking, but looked at Sun Dianying with deep meaning. Sun Dianying suddenly realized, "Mr. Li, you want me to give up on Rehe now?  " "There are gains and there are losses. This is the price you have to give up. Only by letting Rehe become Zhang Xinghan will he have to directly face the threat of the Northeast Army.  By then we can concentrate our efforts on attacking Chahar.  "Li Xijiu said. "But, Mr. Li, have you ever thought about it. If we withdraw from Chengde now, we will have no foothold." Sun Dianying was very reluctant to leave. In any case, Chengde has been his base camp for several years.  No one wants to give up the base area. "General Sun, don't forget that if Zhang Xinghan wanted to use force, Chengde would have been lost long ago, and he and the 29th Army would have divided the entire Rehe.  With his strength, the 29th Army will inevitably return without success and be forced to abandon Rehe. Rehe is still his alone.  You have to think clearly, if you don't give up Chengde, the consequences will be very serious.  Zhang Xinghan won Chengde and the entire Renan area, so in order to ensure his own territory, he would definitely join forces with any invading enemy to start a war.  But if he doesn’t get Rehe, he can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. After our 41st Army is defeated, he can suddenly attack from behind us and still get Rehe.  I have said that efforts and gains are proportional. Give up Rehe in exchange for Zhang Xinghan's full support and capture Chahar.  With Zhang Xinghan blocking the Northeastern Army, with the current strength of our army and Zhang Xinghan's air force assistance, it should not be a problem to capture Chahar.  "Li Xijiu said. Sun Dianying was silent in thought, and the conference room fell into silence for a while. Li Xijiu and Liu Yueting did not say anything more. They had already stated the pros and cons, and the rest was left to Sun Dianying to make his own decision. After thinking for a long time, Sun Dianying  Like a gambler, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I will listen to you, Mr. Li, and abandon Chengde. All our troops will immediately advance to Fengning with all their baggage. Using Fengning as the base, we will burn everything and attack Chaharbuda with all our strength."  Purpose never gives up.  " Li Xijiu gently nodded. Although Sun Dianying was a country warlord, he was quite courageous and obeyed his words. It was not in vain for him to serve as an official to help him. After the decision, Sun Dianying told Liu Yueting: "  Yueting, you are responsible for commanding and coordinating all evacuation matters. All the food and ammunition we have hoarded must be taken away.  " "Chairman, please rest assured, Jingxuan knows this.  "Liu Yueting nodded. "Mr. Li, I'd like to trouble you about welcoming Zhang Xinghan. Don't leave Chengde for the time being. Stay with Zhang Xinghan so that we can get more support for the officers and men of our 41st Army.  "Sun Dianying said respectfully. "Thanks to the general, I will do my best.  "Li Xijiu cupped his hands and said. " Ningcheng County. "Commander, everything is as you expected. We will inform Sun Dianying of the news of the Northeastern Army gathering."  Sun Dianying is really in disarray. He just sent a message asking us to station in Chengde. He is willing to lead his troops to Fengning and attack Chahar with all his strength, but there is one thing. Our army must contain Wan Fulin's two divisions.  "Guo Zhong reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly. "Okay, our goal is about to be achieved. This time we can capture the province of Rehe without spending a single soldier. It is a great deal.  "Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this. After taking Rehe, he could immediately start developing agriculture, industry and commerce in the four provinces outside the Pass, so as to accumulate strength for future military expansion and the decisive battle with the Japanese army. Jiang Baili frowned slightly.  He said: "Commander, don't be too happy. Sun Dianying took the initiative to give up Chengde in advance. It is certainly a happy event for us, but we also have to confront Marshal Zhang again. If we are not careful, we may start fighting again.  "At present, our army's vitality is severely weakened, and it is really not suitable to start a war with the Northeast Army of Ping and Tianjin.".  What we need is time and stability.  " "Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, but don't worry about it. I have a way to keep Marshal Zhang from visiting the north.  And although our vitality is severely damaged, Marshal Zhang is also injured, not much better than us.  Furthermore, even if a war breaks out now and the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, we are not afraid of him!  "Zhang Xinghan said with confidence. "Zhongzi, tell all the regiments to gather immediately and set off in half an hour to take over Chengde City.  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong responded loudly, then turned around and took the order to leave. Zhang Xinghan also stood up and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, let's clean up too and change places, hehe.  "(To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 298: Strategy for Rehe (8) 40 monthly passes plus updates

    Outside Chengde City, officers and soldiers of the 41st Army were leaving in groups. Various vehicles, ox carts, horse-drawn carriages and even donkey carts loaded with goods, grain and other items were driving out of the city one after another, forming a huge torrent of evacuation heading west.  .  Suddenly, the official road in the east direction of the city was filled with dust. Some officers and soldiers of the 41st Army who were packing up their belongings and preparing to retreat, as well as officers and soldiers guarding the city wall waiting for the new Northeast Army to come to defend were attracted.  There were bursts of harsh rumbling sounds from where the smoke and dust filled the sky.  A soldier on the city wall suddenly pointed to the official road outside the city in surprise and shouted: "Tanks, they are a group of tanks. Look, everyone, there are so many tanks!"  The huge thing marked by the blue sky and white sun was roaring towards them, bringing up a sky full of dust and smoke as it passed. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles lined up in a long line and raced on the official road. The scene was very spectacular.  This is a picture with great visual impact, and all the officers and soldiers of the 41st Army who stayed behind were shocked.  Envy, surprise, jealousy are all mixed emotions.  After the tank troops arrived outside the city, they stopped and lined up in the wilderness on both sides of the official road.  Immediately afterwards, another military truck drove up the official road and stopped about a thousand meters away from the city wall.  Groups of heavily armed Northeastern Border Guard infantry jumped out of their vehicles and immediately formed four columns, marching toward the city in unison.  The Northeastern Border Guards are mainly equipped with Garand rifles and bright bayonets, coupled with their neat formation and pace.  It gives people a quite shocking visual experience.  The sonorous and powerful steps sounded like thunder, attacking the hearts of the officers and soldiers of Sun Dianying's troops on the city wall.  A neat queue.  The firm pace, uniform uniforms and weapons all highlight the uniqueness of this unit.  Sun’s officers and soldiers on the top of the city looked back at the old and dirty military uniforms in their hands and those of their companions, and a feeling of inferiority suddenly arose in their hearts.  They are all soldiers, why is there such a huge gap?  Many of the top soldiers of the 41st Army were very puzzled.  At this time, Li Xijiu, who was left behind, and several officers had already opened the city gate to welcome them out of the city.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili came speeding from the side of the queue in a military jeep.  When the two sides met, Li Xijiu raised his voice and shouted: "Old Li Xijiu. I wonder which one is General Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force?" "Brother Baili, who is this Li Xijiu?" Zhang Xinghan saw that he was wearing a Confucian shirt, and he didn't look like him.  He was an ordinary old man, so he asked in a low voice.  "Li Xijiu studied in Japan in his early years and participated in the Tongmenghui. He is considered one of the more famous literary politicians and celebrities in North China." Jiang Baili also introduced quickly in a low voice.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and immediately got out of the car.  He laughed loudly and said: "I am Zhang Xinghan. I have admired Mr. Li's name for a long time. I am really excited to meet him today." "Oh, this is General Zhang? He is really young and promising, and his conversational skills are extraordinary." Li Xijiu secretly said to himself  After taking a look at Zhang Xinghan in front of him, he raised his hands and praised.  "Mr. Li, thank you for the award. He was an early member of the Tongmenghui. He made immeasurable contributions to saving our Chinese nation. It makes Zhang very ashamed to be praised by him so much." Zhang Xinghan saluted with a smile.  "General Zhang was too humble. During the September 18th Incident, the general was not afraid of life and death with less than a regiment of soldiers. He fought back and turned the tide before it fell. He helped the building to collapse. He became famous in the first battle of the Shenyang Defense War. In just three years,  He defeated the powerful Japanese pirates at home and regained our lost territory outside the customs. He is actually the first person to fight against the Japanese in ancient and modern times. He has great military exploits and is famous far and wide. He has won the support of 40 million people and even the old man admires him very much. " "Damn, it's true.  He is a well-educated person, and he always does the same thing when it comes to flattering people." Commander-in-Chief Zhang thought to himself, but smiled on the surface, and exchanged pleasantries with Old Man Li.  After entering the city, the two motorized infantry regiments quickly took over the city defense of Chengde City. The remaining 41st Army left after the handover was completed.  After moving the headquarters into the former 41st Army headquarters, Zhang Xinghan summoned the heads of each regiment to come for a meeting.  Li Xijiu was also invited to the scene.  "Everyone, Chengde is now under our control. Now I will assign tasks to each regiment." Zhang Xinghan paused, turned around, picked up a wooden command pole, pointed at the map and said: "Two infantry regiments are responsible for staying in Chengde.  The two tank regiments of the division immediately went to Xinglong County to closely monitor the movements of the Northeastern Army in the Miyun Huairou area. The air defense regiment and the baggage train were left behind for the time being. As for Rexi, Renan and other large and small counties, there was no need to worry about anything for the time being.  The battle is overMake plans later.  "    "yes.  "The four colonels stood up and responded at the same time, turned around and took orders and left. "Chief of Staff.  "    "exist!  " Jiang Baili stood up and responded. "You immediately send a telegram and order Sabli to lead the cavalry brigade to Shanhaiguan and pretend to attack to attract the attention of the Northeast Army so that it will not dare to easily provoke a battle in Renan. At the same time, order  From now on, the First Division of the Second Flying Regiment of the Air Force stationed in Jinzhou will fly to Shanhaiguan, Miyun Huairou and other places from time to time as a deterrent.  "Zhang Xinghan quickly ordered. "Yes!  "Jiang Baili saluted with a military salute and turned to leave. After Jiang Baili left, Zhang Xinghan turned to Li Xijiu and smiled: "Mr. Li, I wonder if you are satisfied with my arrangement like this?  " Li Xijiu was a little surprised, and nodded repeatedly in flattery: "Satisfied, satisfied, General Zhang is true to his word. On behalf of all the soldiers of the 41st Army, I would like to express my gratitude to you.  " "Well, Mr. Li would also like to ask General Sun Dianying to supervise General Sun Dianying. Soldiers need to be quick. To avoid accidents, the attack on Chahar should be completed quickly.  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile. Li Xijiu said happily: "Please rest assured, General Zhang, I will definitely do it, definitely.  "  " Marshal, something bad has happened. According to reports from our intelligence personnel, Sun Dianying has withdrawn all his troops from Chengde, and Zhang Xinghan has led his troops to take over Chengde's defense.  “And,” “And what?  "Zhang Xiaoliu's face turned red with anger. "And Zhang Xinghan sent a tank unit, about two hundred tanks and armored vehicles, heading towards Xinglong County. The purpose is self-evident, which is to monitor and deter me in Miyun.  Cavalry divisions and infantry brigades.  "Rong Jin, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army, said anxiously. "It's unreasonable. Sun Dianying, a bastard, actually gave up to Chengde. Did he have water in his head to be so stupid?  "Zhang Xiaoliu was furious. Rong Jin said with a grimace: "Perhaps Sun Dianying can't help it. We increased our troops in Miyun and Huairou, and his pressure suddenly increased. It is not impossible to exchange Chengde for Zhang Xinghan's support.  " "Has Song Zheyuan called back?  "After Zhang Xiaoliu ordered Wan Fulin to increase his troops in Miyun, he sent a secret message to Song Zheyuan and Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan had already responded and made it clear that he would not send troops. But Song Zheyuan has not expressed his position yet, whether he is willing to cooperate with  The Northeastern Army teamed up to deal with Sun Dianying and then competed with Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern Border Defense Force. Rong Jin said: “There is no news yet.  " At this moment, a rapid air-raid siren suddenly sounded outside, and the harsh sound reached Zhang Xiaoliu's ears. Zhang Xiaoliu, who was furious, became furious again: "What's going on?  Why did the air raid siren suddenly sound?  " Rong Jin was complaining and didn't know how to answer. He was panicking in his heart. There was a rush of footsteps outside, and Chen Dazhang rushed in with a few guards in a panic. "Adjutant Chen, what are you going to do?  What to do?  "Zhang Xiaoliu didn't know what was going on, so he scolded him. "For advice, Marshal, the city defense force just sounded the air defense alarm and called to say that a plane had entered the country from Shanhaiguan and was flying towards Beiping.  The enemy plane’s intention is unknown. For safety reasons, I suggest that you and the Chief of Staff immediately move to the underground bunker.  "Chen Dazhang saluted in a panic. Before Chen Dazhang finished speaking, another communications soldier rushed in with a message. "Young Marshal, General He Zhuguo sent an urgent message. There is a cavalry unit of the Northeast New Army. The number is about five or six thousand people.  Rush to Shanhaiguan!  "    "What?  Zhang Xiaoliu was shocked and couldn't believe his ears: "What does Zhang Xinghan want to do?"  Does he still want to break through Shanhaiguan?  "Young Marshal, I would rather believe that there is something there than trust that there is nothing. Shanhaiguan is a barrier between Pingjin and Tianjin and there must be no room for error."  "Rong Jin was anxious as he listened to the increasingly urgent air defense sirens, and quickly advised. "Order Yu Xuezhong to immediately reinforce Shanhaiguan, and at the same time order Wan Fulin not to move without my order.  "Zhang Xiaoliu suppressed his anger and made a quick decision. "Yes" The communications soldier took the order and left. Chen Dazhang stepped forward and said: "Young Marshal, without further ado, you'd better leave with me as soon as possible.  " With that said, without waiting for Zhang Xiaoliu to say anything, he waved to the two guards. The two guards stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, holding Shaoshuai Zhang. The group of people shouted and supported him and went straight to the air defense bunker.   …………… Zhangjiakou, 29th Army Headquarters. “Chief of Staff Xiao, reliable news has come from the front line. Sun Dianying has abandoned Chengde and the entire army has moved to Fengning. It seems that the situation is getting worse and worse for us  Song Zheyuan said to Xiao Zhenying. "Has Chengde fallen into the hands of Zhang Xinghan now?"  " Xiao Zhenying asked. Song Zheyuan nodded and sighed: "Yes, Zhang Xinghan has led his troops to Chengde.  " "It seems that Sun Dianying is determined to compete with us for Chahar.  "Xiao Zhenying shook his head helplessly and said to Song Zheyuan: "Military seat, for this plan, we can no longer continue to retreat blindly. Sun Dianying has given up to Chengde and has no place to stand. He will definitely fight us to the death.  .  Unless we withdraw from Chahar, fighting is inevitable.  In this case, I suggest that the entire army immediately deploy defenses in Zhangjiakou and prepare for a decisive battle with Sun Dianying.  "Chief of Staff, Sun Dianying has the support of Zhang Xinghan. It seems inappropriate to stick to Zhangjiakou, right?"  If Zhang Xinghan also leads his troops to join the war, wouldn't we be in danger of being annihilated?  "Song Zheyuan objected. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 299: Strategy for Jehol (9) Double Update

    "Zhang Xinghan will not participate in the war." Xiao Zhenying said sharply.  "Oh? How can you see it?" Song Zheyuan asked curiously.  "Because at this stage he does not want to fight with any party, he needs to rest. This can be seen from his successive strategies to drive away wolves and swallow tigers against us and the 41st Army. If Zhang Xinghan had the strength to use force, he would not need to use these at all.  By simply leading the troops to defeat us and the 41st Army, we can achieve our goal," Xiao Zhenying said.  "Well, the analysis makes sense, let's continue." Song Zheyuan nodded.  "Based on Sun Dianying's current performance, I guess that he and Zhang Xinghan should have reached some agreements. For example, when Sun Dianying gave up Chengde, he helped Sun Dianying capture Chahar to gain a foothold." Xiao Zhenying said here,  His face changed and he said in a serious voice: "In this case, we will fight to the death with Sun Dianying. If we win, Chahar will be ours, and if he loses, it will be his Sun Dazi's." "But Chief of Staff, even if we can defeat Sun Dianying, we can't win."  Will Zhang Xinghan be willing to sit back and watch us control Chahar?" Song Zheyuan said with a worried look.  "Essentially speaking, Zhang Xinghan is still unable to occupy Chahar because he needs a buffer zone with the Shanxi-Sui Army. So Sun Dianying must have received Zhang Xinghan's promise to support him and let him occupy Chahar  , but to get out of Rehe, Zhang Xinghan will completely occupy the four provinces outside the pass. Therefore, for Zhang Xinghan, what he needs is a buffer zone. As for whether this buffer zone is stationed by us or Sun Dazi's 41st Army.  There is essentially no difference. Although we are on the same level as Zhang Xinghan, Sun Dianying is not the same as him. He took over the magpie nest when Sun Dianying was in internal and external difficulties. It is not that Sun Dianying does not hate him, but the power gap is too great.  They don’t dare to resist. So whoever wins this Zhangjiakou battle can stay and have Chahar,” Xiao Zhenying analyzed.  Song Zheyuan nodded in agreement and said: "In that case. Then quickly organize the troops and prepare for a decisive battle with Sun Dazi." Two days later, the battle between Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan's troops broke out in Zhangjiakou.  Although Sun Dianying lost a battle in Fengning, he still had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.  And some troops were equipped with Japanese-style equipment provided by Zhang Xinghan, and with the support of the air force, the initial attack went smoothly and the battle lasted a day.  Successfully captured Chicheng County.  But when the 41st Army attacked Chongli County, they encountered unprecedented fierce resistance.  Chongli County is the last barrier in Zhangjiakou, where most of the 29th Army’s 40,000-strong main force is deployed.  The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and the battle soon entered a fierce stage of consumption. After a day of fierce fighting, the entire battlefield was littered with corpses.  Rivers of blood flowed.  On the first day, the 41st Army paid the price of nearly a thousand casualties, and the 29th Army also had a hard time, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.  In the next few days, the two sides continued to fight fiercely.  This battle lasted for nearly a month, and there was no winner.  Sun Dianying’s 41st Army and Song Zheyuan’s 29th Army both lost more than half.  ???………………… Chifeng County.  Sun Dianying has moved his headquarters here from Fengning.  Inside the headquarters, Sun Dianying was receiving a call from frontline commander Tan Songting.  "Chairman, we can't keep fighting. If we keep fighting, our 41st Army will be gone." Tan Songting's voice was so loud that everyone else in the command headquarters could hear it clearly.  Everyone’s mood dropped in vain, and their expressions were extremely solemn.  Sun Dianying gritted his teeth and yelled into the phone: "Old Tan, I'm telling you, we have no way out. Retreating now is the real annihilation of the entire army. After fighting for so many days, the 29th Army is too damn fast."  The oil has run out, now it depends on who can persevere. In short, as long as there is one person left in the army, you will fight for me. You must capture Zhangjiakou. Success or failure depends on this!" "  Yes!" Tan Songting responded helplessly.  After hanging up the phone, Sun Dianying turned to Liu Yueting and said, "Jingxuan, please send electricity to Zhang Xinghan again and ask him to send troops to support us, even if he gives us a tank company." "Yes!" Liu Yueting did not dare to disobey.  He responded happily.  ………………Chengde, Zhang Xinghan’s temporary residence.  Jiang Baili walked over with a solemn expression and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Sun Dianying sent another telegram asking for help, asking us to send troops to support them." &nbsp;"How many times has this happened?" Zhang Xinghan said calmly while smoking.  "It has been more than twenty times. The 41st Army and the 29th Army have been fighting fiercely for more than twenty days. It seems that Sun Dianying really can't hold on anymore." Jiang Baili said.  "Hmph!" Zhang Xinghan snorted coldly: "If he can't hold on, the situation of the 29th Army must be worse than him." "Commander, do you think we should send troops to reinforce? If this continues, if Sun Dianying really fights for everything  "Well, even if we win this battle, we may not be able to defend Chahar. If we do this, it is very likely that others will take advantage of us, and we will be much more passive by then," Jiang Baili suggested.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Send a tank battalion to support them and help them capture Zhangjiakou as soon as possible." "Commander is wise, I'll go right away." Jiang Baili turned and left.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, a No. 4 tank battalion quickly moved westward and arrived at the Zhangjiakou front line that afternoon.  With the addition of these dozens of tanks, the 41st Army's attack was much easier. However, it was a pity that the infantry of the 41st Army did not understand the coordination of infantry and tanks at all and did not keep up in time.  As a result, several tank battalion assaults failed.  However, the powerful firepower of the tank battalion still caused considerable damage to the 29th Army. The most important thing was psychological deterrence.  The unrivaled assault capabilities of dozens of tanks have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the remaining troops of the 29th Army.  After such a long battle, many officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were clinging on with their last breath. If we use a critical moment to describe them.  The arrival of the Northeast New Army tank battalion was the last iron rod that broke the camel's back.  The fierce firepower and super assault capability shattered the 29th Army's final belief in victory.  Inside the 29th Army Headquarters in Zhangjiakou.  The faces of Song Zheyuan and others were extremely solemn, and Liu Ruming said angrily: "Come on, military seats, this battle really can't be fought anymore. You haven't seen how powerful the enemy's tank troops are. Their tanks are different from what we have in the past."  They are not only powerful in firepower, but also much larger in size. There is nothing we can do against them. Today, the ragtag group of the 41st Army does not know how to cooperate, so we can barely hold on to our position. But if this continues,  Our position will be broken sooner or later. If we persist, we will only have one result, and that is the annihilation of the entire army. "This is by no means alarmist!" Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying were silent, and their moods were the most complicated at the moment.  Xiao Zhenying never expected that Zhang Xinghan would send tank troops to reinforce Sun Dianying, which was far beyond his expectations.  While secretly hating Zhang Xinghan, he understood that the defeat of the Zhangjiakou Conference was certain.  After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Xiao Zhenying raised his head and said to Song Zheyuan: "Commander, don't hesitate, order the troops to retreat overnight. We have lost this battle." "Alas!" Song Zheyuan sighed deeply, filled with annoyance.  He said: "Order all divisions and brigades to alternately cover the withdrawal positions at twelve o'clock tonight and retreat to Xiangtian Town and Yanggao area." "Yes!" Although Xiao Zhenying, Liu Ruming and others were reluctant, they had to accept the order.  , responded in unison, and took orders to leave.  That night, the 29th Army evacuated overnight. After the 41st Army discovered it the next day, Tan Songting and others did not order the troops to pursue it.  Because they were at the last moment, they were out of men and horses, suffered heavy losses, and were unable to pursue them.  This battle lasted for more than twenty days and ended with a tragic victory for Sun Dianying's army.  After the 29th Army withdrew from Zhangjiakou, the entire army retreated to several counties in the Chaxi area. Sun Dianying's 41st Army was temporarily unable to continue the attack due to severe damage to its vitality, so it adopted a resigned attitude.  The situation in Chahar became such that Sun Dianying occupied most of Zhangjiakou and other areas, while Song Zheyuan occupied a small part of Chaxi.  In the past twenty days, Zhang Xinghan had already mobilized more than 10,000 troops from Jilin and stationed them in various places around Chengde.  Basically, he has completely controlled the entire territory of Rehe. At this point, Zhang Xinghan’s territory has expanded to four provinces and more than one million square kilometers.  All the four provinces outside the customs were included in the bag, becoming a veritable king of the Northeast.  "Chief of Staff, I will leave two tank regiments and one air defense regiment to you. Together with the more than 10,000 troops that will be transferred later, I will recruit new soldiers from various counties and towns to join the army and organize the temporary No. 1 and No. 2 Rehe troops.  I will take away the division, the two motorized infantry regiments and the guard battalion. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the Northeast." Before leaving, Zhang Xinghan told Jiang Baili: "There are still two months until the summer harvest.  At this time, we must ensure that the food supply throughout Rehe isAll harvested successfully, which is very important for us to get through the difficult period this year. Chief of Staff, please work hard.  " "Don't worry, I will do my best.  "Jiang Baili nodded seriously. "Well, I can rest assured that the Chief of Staff will do his job.  "    "Take care of yourself.  " " Take care." After the two saluted each other, Zhang Xinghan took Guo Zhong and others into the car and drove away. The cars containing the officers and soldiers of the two infantry regiments, which had been ready for departure, followed suit and soon drove out of Chengde.  City. The huge traffic flow of hundreds of military trucks is like a giant steel dragon, winding along the official road, raising dust everywhere it passes. "Zhongzi, order the troops to move forward at full speed and strive to catch up at night tomorrow.  Arrive at Tongliao.  "Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and ordered to Guo Zhong. (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 300: Preparing to Build a Fertilizer Plant

    After a day and night of rapid marching, Zhang Xinghan and his troops finally arrived at Tongliao Airport.  // // Several C-47 transport planes have already received orders and have been waiting for a long time.  Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to return to the army after resting in Tongliao. He took Guo Zhong and a group of guards on the transport plane and headed straight for Harbin.  The reason why he did not go back to Jilin directly but to Harbin was because Zhang Xinghan needed Alice's help.  Because he wants to do a big and far-reaching thing, that is, to build China's first fertilizer factory.  If you want to increase grain production, chemical fertilizers are definitely the most important.  Zhang Xinghan has no channels to purchase fertilizer production line equipment from abroad, but as Alice is the sole heir of the Max family, as long as she nods her consent, these equipment will not be a problem.  After more than an hour of flight, the transport plane landed smoothly at Harbin Airport.  Wang Yicai, commander of the 6th Independent Division, and others had already received the news and rushed to the airport to wait for a long time.  Zhang Xinghan saw Wang Yicai as soon as he stepped off the transport plane.  Wang Yicai and several officers behind him hurriedly ran over to greet him.  When they arrived, they all stood up and saluted: "Commander, you are back? It's been a hard journey." "It's not hard." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and asked, "No, Miss Alice and Miss Irene are still there.  Right? " "They are no longer in Harbin. They have been waiting for you in Harbin for half a month, so they left because you didn't come back."  "We left, did you say where we were going?" Zhang Xinghan was a little disappointed.  "I don't know where I am going to work." Wang Yicai suddenly remembered: "Oh. By the way, I remembered it. Miss Alice gave you a letter when she left." "Letter, what letter, where is it?" Zhang Xinghan asked again  He asked eagerly with hope aroused.  "The letter is at my division headquarters. Commander, you and your brothers have worked hard all the way. Go back before you leave. I will give you the letter when you get to the division headquarters." Wang Yicai quickly said with his hands solemnized.  Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Then he got into the car.  ……………… Black Tiger Mountain is located in Yushu County, Jilin Province.  ??When it comes to Black Tiger Mountain in Yushu County, everyone knows about it. The reason why it has such a high reputation is because there is a group of ruthless bandits stationed on Black Tiger Mountain.  The name is Black Tiger Village, and the leader is a habitual gangster named Du Renjie. He is ruthless and has excellent marksmanship.  He has been in the green forests of Jilin for more than 20 years, killing countless people, and he has some tricks.  Due to the turmoil in Northeast China in recent years, Zhang Xinghan has been busy dealing with the Japanese and Lao Maozi, so he has no chance or time to clean up the big and small gangsters in the three northeastern provinces.  This Black Tiger Village gradually developed under such an environment, and Du Renjie continued to absorb deserters.  Stragglers and other desperadoes.  The strength has expanded rapidly, and now there are more than 200 guns, making it the largest gang in Yushu County.  Because the main forces of the Northeast New Army are used to defend against the Soviet Union and the Japanese, and to station in major large and medium-sized cities.  Therefore, there are no regular troops stationed in Yushu County at all. There is only one security team with more than 100 people in the county.  Although the equipment is good, their combat effectiveness is nothing like Du Renjie's gang of desperadoes.  Self-protection is not enough.  Let alone annihilating Black Tiger Village.  So in the past few years, the Black Tiger Village has been doing evil in Yushu County, robbing homes and taking human life seriously, and the county security team can only turn a blind eye.  The county magistrate repeatedly reported to his superiors, requesting the deployment of troops to exterminate the banditry and bring peace to the local people.  However, due to the urgent war with Japan and the Soviet Union, this matter has been delayed.  After Alice and Irene left Harbin, they headed south, planning to visit the entire three northeastern provinces, understand the living habits of the local people, and take a good look at the green mountains, green waters, and scenic spots in the Northeast.  It’s not that they didn’t encounter some young people who coveted their beauty along the way, but Erin and Alice both carried self-defense pistols, and basically they all came here without any danger.  Almost on the same day that Zhang Xinghan returned to Harbin, the two of them entered a market town called Niujiatun in Yushu County.  The two of them checked into the only restaurant in town.  At night, there was a sudden loud cry of killing outside the town. In the dark night, countless bandits and robbers came on horseback, rushed into the town and robbed property and beautiful young women.  The restaurant where Erin and Alice stayed was also ransacked.  Two bandits carrying water rifles rushed into their room.  In panic, Irene and?Lise raised her pistol.  "Pa bang bang" several gunshots were heard, and the two bandits fell in a pool of blood.  The sound of gunfire quickly attracted a large number of bandits. Irene and Alice were so frightened that their faces turned pale before they could escape from the room.  A large number of bandits surrounded them.  "Brother, Niu San and Zhao Er are dead!" A bandit dressed as a small leader shouted in horror when he saw his two fallen companions.  A burly bearded man with two guns at his waist walked over surrounded by his younger brothers.  "Who killed my Du Renjie brother?!" the bearded man said in a rough voice.  “Brother, it’s them.” The little boss pointed at Alice and Irene who were shivering in the corner of the room.  "Huh? Two foreign women?" Du Renjie looked him up and down, and said with a lewd smile: "They look pretty good, with white skin, big breasts, and bigger butts, hahaha. You guys killed me.  Brothers, I will take you to be my wife. Mrs. Yang Yazhai, I am really unprecedented, right? Hahaha! What are you going to do? Please let us go!  "Alice's hand holding the gun was trembling.  "Hey, she is a foreign girl who can speak our Chinese language. That would be great, lest I can't communicate with you." Du Renjie was quite surprised and walked towards them.  Seeing Du Renjie’s ferocious look, Alice and Irene turned pale with fright and trembled all over.  "Don't come over, don't come over. I'll shoot." Alice was struggling desperately, and the hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble.  "Ouch? You want to shoot? Playing with a gun in front of my Du Shuangqiang? Okay, little girl. I like it, sir. Just shoot, shoot." Du Renjie said with contempt in his eyes.  This caused a group of young bandits on the side to burst into laughter. Their master's marksmanship was perfect. In their eyes, they were their ancestors who played with guns. These two foreign girls actually played with guns in front of the master. It was simply ridiculous.  Alice was so nervous that she lost control of herself.  Seeing the bearded man getting closer and closer to her, she screamed and was about to pull the trigger.  Du Renjie had weak hands. When he saw that she was about to shoot, he quickly threw out two darts.  With a whoosh, two darts hit the gun-holding arms of Alice and Irene at the same time.  The two women’s arms hurt, and the pistol suddenly lost control and fell to the ground.  Du Renjie picked up the two guns.  Looking around, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, they are all good guns. It seems that you are quite rich? But I like to rob the rich and give to the poor the most, and I kill the rich! Haha!" "Master, it's almost time. We are here.  It's better to retreat quickly." At this time, another bandit leader ran in from outside and said to Du Renjie.  "Brothers, take these two foreign girls away to me. When we get back to the village, I will have a dragon and a phoenix, hahaha!" Du Renjie said with a sly smile on his face as he waved his hand.  "Yes!" Several bandits immediately swarmed up and arrested Alice and Irene.  "Let us go, you bastards. You are so stupid!" Erin and Alice were shocked and angry.  Yushu County Government.  Before dawn, there was a loud knock on the door of the county government compound.  "County Magistrate Zhang. Magistrate Zhang, it's bad, there's someone outside reporting urgently." A guard in the compound ran to the bedroom of County Magistrate Zhang Shi and shouted loudly.  An old man in his fifties, wearing pajamas, opened the door and came out, "What's going on?" "County magistrate, someone is knocking on the door outside." "Who is knocking on the door?" Zhang Shi asked.  "I just saw that I think he is the mayor of a nearby market town, but I'm not sure exactly." The guard at the gate said.  "Let's take a look." Zhang Shi said and took the lead to walk forward.  Opening the door to the compound, the man standing at the door saw Zhang Shi and shouted for help: "County magistrate, it's not good, our town was looted by bandits half a night ago, and several girls were kidnapped."  "What? Who did it?" Zhang Shi naturally knew the man in front of him and asked in shock.  "It was Du Shuangqiang and his men who did it. By the way, they also kidnapped two young foreign women who lived in Xiangju Building in the town!" the mayor added.  "What? A foreign woman?" Zhang Shi naturally has some experience when he can become the head of a county.  He said in a panic: "This is bad. Foreigners can't mess with them. If they are really ruined by Du Shuangqiang, then once the higher authorities investigate, we will have to live in pain. Losing the official position is a trivial matter.  If you don't make it, you might lose your head!" "Huh?" The mayor suddenly turned pale with fright, and said with some unclear words."Then, county magistrate, what do you think we should do?" "In this case, we are unable to rescue them. I will immediately send people to Fuyu County. Where there are troops stationed and guarding the railway, there are telephones for help.  , report this to the authorities and ask the higher authorities to send people to rescue those two foreign women!" Zhang Shi made a quick decision.  "Yeah, everything depends on you, the county magistrate." The mayor nodded repeatedly.  "Xiao Li, you go back first and find a way to get in touch with Du Shuangqiang. To delay, just say that those two foreign women are of high status and they can negotiate any ransom they want, but please don't hurt them." Zhang Shi  He also told the mayor.  "Yes, yes, I will go back and find a solution right away!" The mayor nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.  ……………………… By the time Zhang Shi sent people to Fuyu Railway Station to find the garrison and report the situation, it was already past nine o’clock in the morning.  In Harbin, Zhang Xinghan didn’t have much of a meeting after breakfast. After inspecting the work of the 6th Independent Division and confiscating the found grain, he was about to take a flight back to Jilin.  A communications soldier from the headquarters of the 6th Independent Division hurried over and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, we just received unexpected news that two foreign women were robbed by bandits in Niujiatun Town, Yushu County.  Zhang Shi, the magistrate of Yushu County, was kidnapped by bandits along with several young women in the town. He quickly reported the situation and asked the commander-in-chief to make a decision. "What?" Zhang Xinghan heard.  Yan was taken aback and said angrily: "What kind of bandit did this?" "I don't know about this humble position," the communications soldier said.  Zhang Xinghan paced back and forth anxiously for several times, and said angrily to Wang Yicai and Guo Zhong who were accompanying him: "Yicai, how far is this Yushu County from Harbin?" Wang Yicai ordered someone to bring the marching map and looked at it, then raised his head and said: "One day  It's more than 130 kilometers. You can take the train south from Harbin to Fuyu County, and then drive there. ""One hundred and thirty kilometers!" Zhang Xinghan said immediately: "Zhongzi, give me the order, and the guard camp will gather immediately and prepare to go.  Let's see who is so bold that he dares to do evil under my rule!" "Yes!" Guo Zhong immediately accepted the order and left.  "Yicai, please immediately find a way to inform me of County Magistrate Zhang Shi and tell him that you must delay me no matter what, and do everything possible to ensure that they will not be harmed by the bandits. If the bandits put forward any conditions, they can agree first.  " "Yes!" Wang Yicai responded quickly when he saw Zhang Xinghan's anxious expression.  Soon, all the hundreds of guards in the guard camp were assembled, and Zhang Xinghan personally led the team in a car and sped southward.  Black Tiger Mountain is located more than thirty miles east of Niujiatun. Last night, Du Renjie and his men looted the wealth of landlords in several villages and robbed more than a dozen young ladies. The torture lasted until ten o'clock in the morning.  It took a long time to return to Black Tiger Village.  "Brothers, you worked hard last night. Let's have a good rest now. Let's drink my wedding wine tonight. I will recruit two foreign girls at once to be our wives." Du Renjie raised his arms and shouted.  "Congratulations to the great master, congratulations to the great master." A group of bandits thanked each other in unison.  Alice and Irene were imprisoned in a cell in Black Tiger Village with a dozen girls who were kidnapped together.  This is a simple cell made of a cave. It is dark and damp inside, and the pungent musty smell is nauseating.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????  Seeing this, Alice couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? Cheer up, someone will definitely come to save us." No one among the dozen or so girls said anything, and an older girl held back her cry and said  : "No one came back to save us. This is the Black Tiger Village. No one in our Yushu County can do anything to them. If we are captured by them, our fate is already doomed. We will be ruined by them and killed after we have had enough fun."  Death. Someone in our village was arrested before, and their bodies were found half a year later" After saying this, the girl burst into tears in despair.  Erin and Alice were angry again, and felt fear in their hearts.  "Alice, do you think someone will come to save us?" Irene asked, leaning against the wall, a little frustrated.  Alice wiped away her tears and said firmly: "I believe someone will come to rescue us. They will definitely" After saying that, her tears couldn't stop falling.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 301: Rescue Alice

    Four Thousand Words Chapter A journey of 130 kilometers, Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion to march at full speed along the official road.  Because the road conditions from Harbin to Yushu County were not good, it took them seven hours to rush to Niujiatun Town, where the incident occurred.  When they arrived, it was already evening.  Zhang Shi, the county magistrate of Yushu County, along with several subordinates and the mayor of Niujiatun Town, have already received the news and have been waiting here for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you have worked hard on your journey!" Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and asked, "Which of you is the mayor of Niujiatun?" Zhang Shi quickly pointed to the man next to him.  Mayor Li said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, this is Mayor Li from Niujiatun." "This is my subordinate, I am." Mayor Li nodded respectfully.  Zhang Xinghan looked at him and said: "Mayor Li, please tell me roughly the process of the bandits' attack, especially those two foreign girls. Are they in their twenties, with blond hair, blue eyes, and very white skin?  She is slightly taller and taller than our Chinese girls?" Mayor Li thought about it and nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right, those two foreign girls are young, beautiful and fair." Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this.  , said to himself, that is them.  "Mayor Li, tell me, which bandit did this? Where is their lair, and what is the name of their leader?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Mayor Li did not dare to neglect and hurriedly replied: "The bandits who came last night were from Black Tiger Mountain. The leader is called Du Renjie. He is good at using double guns. It is said that he can hit the target easily. He is known as Du Shuangqiang. Black Tiger Mountain is located in this town.  Thirty miles away in the northeast. ""Mayor Li, I asked you to find a way to get in touch with Black Tiger Village. How did you do it?" County Magistrate Zhang Shi said suddenly.  Mayor Li quickly said: "I sent people out. But there is no response yet. I don't know if they are being held on the mountain." Zhang Xinghan paused and asked: "County Chief Zhang, how many security teams are there in your county?"  "Have you brought them?" Zhang Shi lowered his head and replied: "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Zhang, I have brought them all with me in the Yushu County Security Team and are on standby outside the town."  "Okay, okay." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, take your people and come with us to Black Tiger Mountain. Mayor Li, you will lead the way!" "Okay, okay" Zhang Shi and Mayor Li.  They all nodded in response and quickly separated to take orders.  The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion did not make any stop, so Zhang Xinghan took them in a car and left Niujiatun and headed straight for Black Tiger Mountain. With Mayor Li leading the way, after an hour of driving at full speed, they arrived at the boundary of Black Tiger Mountain.  At the same time, in the Black Tiger Village on Black Tiger Mountain, the village became lively just after dark.  Inside the village, some bandits lit a fire.  The fire burned very brightly and was very dazzling in the dark night.  "Master, everything is ready. Do you think we can bring those girls up?" In the Juyi Hall.  A sly little boss said to Du Shuangqiang with a sinister smile on his face.  Du Shuangqiang nodded: "Well, go and bring all the little girls captured today, including the two Western girls, to me. Today I will hold a bridal chamber meeting with my brothers. Haha, the two Western girls are back  Me and the other brothers will take their turn!" "Yes. Thank you, big brother!" The little leader responded and happily accepted the order.  Not long after, Alice, Irene and a dozen other young women were forcibly taken to the Juyi Hall by a group of bandits.  Alice and Irene's faces were pale and bloodless. They looked around in horror. Their whole bodies were shaking with fear, and their eyes were almost desperate.  "Brothers, go outside first to eat and drink, and then come back for the bridal party, haha, let's go!" Du Shuangqiang laughed and stood up.  When he walked next to Irene and the others, he grabbed a young woman's hair, pulled her over, and grabbed her plump buttocks twice, until the little girl screamed in horror, and then raised her head.  He laughed loudly and said: "Second Master, this girl is good, her butt is quite big and soft, I will give it to you later!" "Thank you, brother!" The Second Master said loudly and excitedly.  "Let's go have a drink!" Du Shuangqiang pushed the girl to the ground and took the lead with a lewd smile and strode out of the Juyi Hall.  Erin and Alice quickly helped the girl up, and a group of people trembled and squatted in the corner of the gathering hall.  No one spoke, only soft sobs. Thinking of their fate next, everyone looked ashen and their eyes were blurry. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?At this moment, a few miles away from Black Tiger Mountain, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to get out of the car, and then sent out scouts to start reconnaissance with the help of Mayor Li.  He personally led the team and used the cover of night to quietly approach the location of Black Tiger Village.  In a small forest, Zhang Xinghan and hundreds of security men were waiting for the scouts.  The night was as dark as ink, and it was impossible to see even one's fingers, which provided Zhang Xinghan and the others with the best cover.  While waiting anxiously, Zhang Xinghan was furious and stared ahead.  Soon, there was a strange sound in the grass ahead, and several guards and soldiers around Zhang Xinghan raised their guns vigilantly.  "Commander, it's us." Guo Zhong's voice came, and he personally took two soldiers to reconnoiter the terrain and the defense situation of the mountain stronghold.  As soon as the voice fell, Guo Zhong rushed over like a cheetah, squatted next to Zhang Xinghan, and said with a somewhat rapid breathing: "Commander, I have figured it out. This mountain stronghold is built on a steep place. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. However,  The bandits don't seem to be very vigilant. There are about seven or eight people at the entrance. There may be two open sentinels and one hidden sentry near the entrance. "" Yes," Zhang Xinghan nodded.  : "Are you sure you won't alert the Japanese inside the stronghold and attack them?" "It's very difficult. The three light and dark sentries are easy to deal with, but the gate they built at the entrance is not easy. There are seven or eight bandits who want to sneak in.  It's basically impossible to kill them at close range," Guo Zhong said with a frown.  "Oh, by the way, where's Mayor Li?" Zhang Xinghan asked suddenly when he didn't see Mayor Li coming back.  "Oh, the man he sent to contact the bandits was killed. His body is not far in front. Where is he crying bitterly." Guo Zhong replied.  Zhang Xinghan's fists clenched and he gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts have not come before the war between the two countries. I must completely and completely wipe them out tonight to eliminate this scourge for the people of one side." "Commander, attack with force.  No, what should we do?" Guo Zhong asked.  "Let's do this, Tadashi, please take everyone to wait here, and I will go in personally. After I find Alice and the others and ensure that they are safe, I will send you a signal, and you will immediately lead your troops to storm in. Kill them in one fell swoop.  " Zhang Xinghan said.  When Guo Zhong heard this, he immediately became anxious and said: "Commander, you can't go in like this, it's too dangerous." Zhang Xinghan smiled secretly in his heart, I am a top special soldier myself, and sneaking into such a bandit den is not a problem.  Of course, he couldn't tell Guo Zhong this. He patted Guo Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, are you still worried about my skills?" "Commander, I'd better go in. You stay and wait for the signal." Guo Zhong said.  "No, you lead the troops outside and wait for the signal. I will choose a few good ones to sneak in with me. We will cooperate inside and outside to kill these evil-doing bastards in one fell swoop." Zhang Xinghan's tone was unquestionable.  Guo Zhong could only nod his head and said: "Yes! Commander, you must be careful." Zhang Xinghan smiled at him, then ran forward with a few agile guards, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.  The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion are all elite veterans selected from thousands of people.  Basically, everyone is very skilled and has their own strengths. Zhang Xinghan selected four people in total.  Not only is he an excellent marksman.  Better at rock climbing and wall climbing.  A group of five of them came to a cliff and quickly climbed up under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan.  For Zhang Xinghan, this was all child's play, but after the four guards climbed up, they were all out of breath, and Zhang Xinghan even helped them.  Zhang Xinghan did not show dissatisfaction with their performance. After all, they had not gone through the devilish training of the real special forces, let alone Zhang Xinghan's rich experience and knowledge in special operations. It is extremely rare to achieve such a level.  After climbing the cliff, the five people started to move towards the inside of the cottage with their newly replaced MP38 submachine guns.  At this time, Du Shuangqiang and most of his men were already having an obsessive carnival around the fire in the open space outside the Juyi Hall.  The shouts and shouts were so loud that Zhang Xinghan and the others could hear them from a distance.  “Maybe it’s because they haven’t encountered any decent encirclement and suppression in three years, so Du Shuangqiang and his men were very vigilant. Except for a light machine gun deployed at the entrance and a dozen sentries standing guard, there was no other deployment.  If one or two sentries were randomly set up on the cliff like that just now, Zhang Xinghan and the others would have no way of getting in except by attacking by force.  Therefore, when Zhang Xinghan and the others climbed up from the steep cliff, they had basically no obstructions along the way.  Soon Zhang Xinghan led four soldiers to touchWhen they arrived near the Juyi Hall, most of the bandits had already participated in the carnival. There were only four bandits left in the Juyi Hall, two guarding the door and two responsible for guarding Alice and the others inside.  Taking out his binoculars, Zhang Xinghan observed carefully and then made arrangements for the four guards.  The two guards followed the order, took out the daggers they carried, and like ghosts, quietly touched the two bandits guarding the door of Juyi Hall under the cover of night.  When they got close, the two guards jumped out at the same time. They covered the mouths of the two bandits with lightning-fast hands, and slashed their necks with a dagger. The carotid arteries of the two bandits were immediately severed.  Blood gushed out instantly, and the two bandits clutched their necks and struggled to fall down.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately followed with two other guards. After the two guards succeeded, they rushed towards the Juyi Hall.  The two bandits who were guarding Alice and the others inside heard a strange noise. They turned around and saw two people quickly heading towards them. They subconsciously shouted: "Who?!" "Whoosh!" The two guards rushed with the help of  The daggers in his hands flew out at the same time.  "Puff!" Two sharp daggers accurately hit the throats of the two bandits. The two bandits could no longer speak, and blood began to gush out from their mouths and wounds.  The two of them covered their necks and fell down unwillingly.  Alice and Irene were stunned by the sudden change in front of them. Seeing the two bandits dying tragically in front of them, the timid girls couldn't help but scream.  Just when Zhang Xinghan rushed in, a bandit who had not yet completely expired pulled the trigger of the rifle while they were not paying attention.  "Bang!" A gunshot broke the tranquility in the Juyi Hall, and also alerted Du Shuangqiang and a group of bandits who were eating and drinking outside the Juyi Hall.  Zhang Xinghan's expression suddenly changed, and he didn't care to talk to Alice and the others, so he said to his four subordinates: "Quick, guard the Juyi Hall, and launch the signal bomb immediately." "Yes" The four guards' expressions also changed greatly, and they all responded,  One of them took out a flare gun and fired a shot. A red flare immediately flew out of the Juyi Hall and cut through the night sky. The red light was particularly dazzling and could be clearly seen for miles away.  The four guards had all hid on both sides of the Juyi Hall, firing their guns and waiting for the bandits to arrive.  In the open space, Du Shuangqiang put away his smile and waved his hands to his subordinates who had stopped reveling. Hundreds of bandits immediately picked up their guns and cautiously approached the deathly silent Juyi Hall.  "Look, boss, it's Leopard and the others." A small leader with sharp eyes immediately spotted the two minions who were knocked down first by Zhang Xinghan and the others.  "Damn you, someone must have sneaked in, rush in and take a look!" Du Shuangqiang was furious when he saw his men were killed.  A group of bandits roared loudly under the influence of alcohol and rushed towards the Juyi Hall.  Zhang Xinghan held an MP38 submachine gun, looked at the bandits who were rushing towards him, and immediately shouted: "Hit me!" Before he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger. The submachine gun in his hand suddenly roared, tongues of fire spit out, and a hail of hot bullets howled.  Fly towards the group of bandits.  The other four guards opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets immediately smashed the four or five bandits at the front into sieves and fell down.  Seeing that the firepower in Juyi Hall was so fierce, and his men fell down one after another as soon as they came face to face, Du Shuangqiang was shocked and angry, and he pulled out his own guns and roared at the top of his lungs.  "What a bastard, I'll rush forward and kill these bastards!" "Come on, avenge your dead brothers." Several of the little bosses roared loudly.  "Click, click, click" Five submachine guns fired alternately, building a dense firepower net, and the roaring and charging bandits fell one after another.  When they rushed closer, the two guards took off the grenades and threw them out. The two grenades exploded on the ground, and a huge fire shot into the sky. A dozen bandits who were crowded together were suddenly blown into the sky, causing death and injury.  Pillow book.  "First boss, they have too much firepower, and they also have grenades. The army must be coming." The second boss said to Du Shuangqiang with a split heart when he saw this.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.

    At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the bottom of the mountain, followed by intensive, ear-splitting explosions and gunshots.  Du Shuangqiang and the others were shocked when they heard the sound. They turned around and looked down the mountain. They saw blazing fire at the bottom of the mountain and an unknown number of men and horses storming the gate of the village.  "Brother, what should we do?" The second master asked anxiously, his face pale.  "Second brother, you take people to support the village gate immediately and block the people outside. Although the firepower in the Juyi Hall seems to be fierce, there are not many people. I will kill the few people inside first.  , and then fight to the death with the officers and soldiers," Du Shuangqiang ordered with a fierce look in his eyes.  "Yes!" The second master didn't dare to disobey Du Shuangqiang's order at this time, for fear that he would outsmart him in anger, so he had to rush towards the village gate with more than half of his troops.  Du Shuangqiang waved his hand: "Brothers, the fish is dead and the net is broken, rush up and kill these bastards, avenge the dead brothers, rush!" The remaining bandits No. 10 suddenly became excited, and their bravery accelerated.  After charging, the rifles and short guns in their hands also fired one after another. The dense bullets hit the Juyi Hall, causing dirt to fly and sparks to fly.  . . ?The firepower of Zhang Xinghan and several guards was also thwarted.  They are all desperadoes. Although their marksmanship is not very good, they are better in numbers. When one falls, two or three will continue to charge forward.  Fortunately, the Jingwei Battalion is Zhang Xinghan’s direct henchmen and ace escort force, and the soldiers carry sufficient ammunition.  Each person has more than two hundred rounds of submachine gun ammunition and four grenades per person. In addition, there are also small assault rifles such as twenty-ring box guns, all equipped with six or seven magazines.  Especially in such a close firefight, the guards' firepower was fully displayed. Five submachine guns and two grenades were thrown from time to time, blocking more than a hundred bandits who were not afraid of death in Juyi.  outside the hall.  From time to time, bandits screamed and fell down, and Zhang Xinghan's ammunition consumption was also extremely alarming.  The thirty-round magazine was quickly exhausted, and Zhang Xinghan had already changed three magazines in a row.  Du Shuangqiang personally led the charge with two guns in hand, and at the right time, he opened fire with both guns. Two guardsmen who were firing to suppress the bandits were shot one after another and fell in a pool of blood.  "Brother!" The other two guards shouted with eyes wide open.  Zhang Xinghan quickly ran to the two sacrificial guards, picked several grenades from them, and began to throw them outside continuously.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of explosions sounded from outside the Juyi Hall, and fire suddenly appeared.  The bandits let out pitiful howls and fell in large pieces.  At this time, Alice and Irene came back to their senses from the shock just now. Seeing that Zhang Xinghan came to the rescue in person, the two girls' beautiful light blue eyes were filled with mist, and their hearts were full of joy and excitement.  I was so excited and moved that I was completely moved.  Under their gaze, Zhang Xinghan threw a submachine gun to another soldier and picked up two submachine guns himself.  Holding one in each hand, he stood at the entrance of the Juyi Hall and took advantage of the aftermath of the explosion to shoot violently at the bandits outside.  The two guards, whose eyes were already red because of the sacrifice of their companions, roared and opened fire.  “Da da da…” Intensive gunshots echoed in the Juyi Hall.  Tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and a rain of metal bullets poured into the crowd of bandits like a gust of wind.  The bandits who had been blown to pieces fell down one after another like wheat.  At this time, the sound of gunshots, cannons, and shouts of death at the foot of the mountain became even louder, and explosions occurred one after another.  The firelight was particularly dazzling.  When Du Shuangqiang saw his men falling down in large numbers, he gritted his teeth in distress. These were all the troops he had managed to pull out.  "Throw a grenade at me. Kill these bastards." Du Shuangqiang roared sharply.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several strong bandits threw several grenades over with great strength.  Zhang Xinghan and the two guards lay down at the same time, barely avoiding the fatal shock wave. All three of them were injured to varying degrees. There were wounds on their arms, legs, and blood flowing out.  Regardless of their injuries, Zhang Xinghan and the others immediately stood up and continued to fire.  Just after a few sweeps, the gunfire stopped suddenly. Zhang Xinghan's expression changed. He touched the magazine on his body and found that it was all used up. He immediately picked up the twenty-ring box cannon from the dead soldier.  Holding guns with both hands and firing left and right, the other two guards' submachine gun bullets were exhausted one after another, and they took out their pistols and started shooting.  Although the box cannon is known as a small charge, its firepower is still not as fast and powerful as the submachine gun. The remaining dozens of bandits swarmed forward.  The three of them could barely finish the bullets in their pistols, and before they had time to change the magazine, Du Shuangqiang had already brought the last forty or so subordinates with him.Crowded in.  Zhang Xinghan threw two pistols at them with all his strength, smashing a bandit's head on the spot and causing bleeding.  With a loud shout, he pulled out the Longquan sword that Sun Dianying had poured out from the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty and rushed forward.  The two elite guards also pulled out their daggers and followed them to the death.  Zhang Xinghan's steps were extremely fast, arriving in an instant like a cheetah. There was no room for the two bandits to shoot. The Longquan sword in his hand flashed cold light and cut off their necks. The two heads rolled to the ground, and the headless corpses immediately sprayed out.  Bleeding injection.  Zhang Xinghan’s whole body was dyed red because of the sudden fall. Have Alice, Irene and those girls ever seen such a scene before?  Suddenly he screamed in terror.  Although the Longquan sword is extremely sharp, the strength of Zhang Xinghan's sword swing is also a very important factor, otherwise it would not be possible to cut off the heads of the two bandits so easily.  Zhang Xinghan held swords in both hands and galloped around. Wherever he went, the bandits fell to the ground wailing. No one could survive a confrontation with him.  The two guards were also absolutely good at close combat. One on the left and one on the right followed Zhang Xinghan and fought to the death. The three of them actually killed the bandits until they screamed and blocked them from entering the Juyi Hall.  Zhang Xinghan made a fierce sweep, and the two bandits fell down immediately. When they got up, a bandit came with a red tassel gun and stabbed them.  Zhang Xinghan shook the sword in his hand, blocked the Hongying gun, jumped up and kicked the gun-wielding bandit away.  Before landing, his body suddenly twisted at an incredible angle, and the Longquan Sword in his hand stabbed into the neck of a bandit, straight through the back of his head.  Zhang Xinghan quickly withdrew the Longquan Sword, and the bandit fell down like a puddle of mud.  Because there were all his men in front, Zhang Xinghan was very strong and his figure was swaying, so Du Shuangqiang and the other bandits couldn't shoot at all.  Soon Zhang Xinghan came to him and Du Shuangqiang was about to shoot.  But he heard a whoosh, and a dagger flew out, hitting his pistol.  Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw that it was a guard who saw Du Shuangqiang about to shoot Zhang Xinghan, so he shot a dagger at him regardless of his own safety.  However, a bandit took the opportunity to stab him with a knife. The blade went straight from his back to his chest, and blood suddenly poured out from the corner of the guard's mouth.  "Maintain, be careful!" After the guard said this, he resolutely fired the grenade on his body.  There was a loud "boom", and the guards and the bandits who attacked him were blown to pieces.  Several other bandits were also affected.  After falling to the ground, another guard roared, turned around, jumped up, and kicked one of the bandits away. He held a dagger and began to stab the two injured bandits who fell beside him.  A trace of sadness flashed in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, and he quickly thrust forward the Longquan Sword in his hand, taking the opportunity to knock down Du Shuangqiang.  Du Shuangqiang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated. Two young bandit leaders held rifles to block Zhang Xinghan's Longquan Sword for him.  Zhang Xinghan roared loudly and slammed his shoulders into the chests of the two bandits, knocking them backwards and flying away.  He fell to the ground, vomiting blood, and saw that he could not survive.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan had killed no less than a dozen bandits, plus two policemen.  Du Shuangqiang and his subordinates already had only about ten people.  Zhang Xinghan was covered in blood and his face was ferocious. Du Shuangqiang and the remaining bandits were distraught when they saw this, but they quickly turned around and ran away.  Zhang Xinghan held the Longquan Sword backwards.  He threw it forward with all his strength and hit one of the bandits in the back, straight through the chest.     at this time.  Not far away, there was loud gunfire and flames shooting into the sky. Hundreds of Northeastern New Army troops rushed forward chasing less than fifty bandits.  The officers and soldiers of the guard camp formed a team of three, each armed with a submachine gun, and fired while pursuing. They cooperated with each other and had strong firepower. During the escape of the bandits, someone came from time to time.  Ten minutes later, Guo Zhong led his troops to surround Du Shuangqiang and his remaining men. By this time, Du Shuangqiang and his men had run out of ammunition and food.  "Put down your weapons, or we will all be shot on the spot." Guo Zhong roared sternly.  The remaining dozen bandits looked at each other and quickly threw the swords, guns and clubs in their hands to the ground.  Zhang Xinghan and the surviving guard had already rescued Alice and the others and handed her over to the rescue workers.  Zhang Xinghan strode toward the encirclement.  Guo Zhonggang wanted to order his subordinates to arrest the dozen bandits and Du Shuangqiang who had surrendered their guns.  Zhang Xinghan's violent shouting came from behind: "Zhongzi, don't live alive, kill them all!" "But, Commander, they have surrendered." Guo Zhong turned around in surprise and saw Zhang Xinghan walking away covered in blood.  Come over here"Commander, are you okay?" Guo Zhong asked the thoughts of all the guards present.  Zhang Xinghan did not answer, but grabbed a submachine gun from a guard beside him, stepped forward and fired at Du Shuangqiang and a dozen of his men.  "Click, click, click" All the bullets were fired in one shot, and Du Shuangqiang and the others fell into a pool of blood.  Zhang Xinghan looked at Du Shuangqiang and others angrily, spat, and said to Guo Zhong: "Take the bodies of the three sacrificed brothers back and give them a good burial!" After saying that, he threw the submachine gun back to the guard.  He turned around and walked down the mountain without looking back.  At this time, soldiers had already carried out the bodies of the three sacrificed guards.  Guo Zhong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he held his neck and said loudly: "Yes!" ps: I went to the driving school to practice driving during the day, and the exam was about to take place. It was impossible not to go, so I came back to code at night.  Today there will be two updates of 7,000 words. The old rule is that for additional updates with monthly votes, we will double the compensation tomorrow. Please support me with your monthly votes. Tomorrow there will be at least no less than 16,000 words.  Finally, due to limited space, I have not thanked everyone for the list of rewards during this period. When I am done with these days, I will open a separate chapter to express my gratitude. Thank you!  (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 303: People’s Hearts Can’t Be Changed by Money

    In Niujiatun Town, the restaurant where Alice and the others stayed, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to temporarily station here.  The guard battalion marched hurriedly and after several hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers were exhausted and in urgent need of rest.  Since Alice and Irene had just escaped from danger and were still in shock, Zhang Xinghan decided to rest in Niujiatun for one night before leaving.  In a room in the restaurant, Alice, Irene and Zhang Xinghan were sitting around the table.  The waiter had already brought hot tea and food according to Zhang Xinghan's instructions.  "Alice, Irene, the public security in Northeast China is not good, and I'm really sorry for frightening you." Zhang Xinghan said apologetically.  Alice quickly grabbed Zhang Xinghan's hand: "General Zhang, don't say that. Thank you very much to you and your men. You risked your lives to save us. Irene and I are really touched. Really" Ellie  Si said that her eyes were already wet, probably thinking of the three sacrificed guards.  Eileen also nodded and said in a choked voice: "Alice is right, General Zhang, you and your men are the most brave heroes I have ever seen. Thank you very much for your rescue!" "You're welcome.  , you came to our Northeast for an interview, and it is our military's responsibility to protect your safety. I have decided that when I go back tomorrow, I will start preparing for large-scale bandit suppression in the Northeast, eliminate banditry as much as possible, and improve the security of the three Northeast provinces.  The public security environment will ensure that the life and property safety of our people and foreign friends will no longer be infringed upon today," Zhang Xinghan said.  Alice still held Zhang Xinghan's hand and looked at him with affectionate eyes: "General Zhang. If you hadn't saved us, we might have lost our lives. If you have saved my life, I will definitely repay you.  "Yours." Zhang Xinghan smiled. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up. Speaking at this time seemed like a repayment of kindness, but it was not beautiful.  "Okay. Let's not talk so much for now. You have been hungry for a day. Eat something while it's hot, and then have a good rest. I will take you back to Harbin tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  The next morning, Zhang Xinghan, Irene, and Alice finished breakfast, and Irene was packing her luggage in the room.  Zhang Xinghan smoked in front of their door.  Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in the stair corridor, and Guo Zhong's big-headed cowhide military boots made a thumping sound on the wooden floor of the restaurant.  His face was a little excited and a little hurried, and he came to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "Commander, there are a lot of folks from this town coming outside. Would you like to go out and have a look?" "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan thought in a flash that he must have eliminated them himself.  He also rescued more than a dozen yellow flower girls who were kidnapped along with Alice and the others. The people in this town came to thank him.  Nodding, Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw that he was still in the room.  But Alice and Irene, who had already heard the sound and turned their attention to them, said: "You guys are busy first, I will go out and take a look." "ok.ok" Irene and Irene nodded.  Zhang Xinghan started and walked towards the stairs.  Guo Zhong hurriedly followed.  The two of them went downstairs one after another, and saw that in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, there were already well-armed guards forming a long queue along both sides of the door.  When I came to the door, I saw no less than a thousand people gathered outside, old and young, men and women. Many of them were holding various things in their hands, including eggs, pork, and their own live poultry.  Although it is not valuable, it is better because of its simplicity. The people are so kind. They are not willing to eat these pork and poultry during the Chinese New Year.  But someone saved their relatives, helped them eliminate banditry, and created a peaceful paradise. They were willing to give up what they were reluctant to eat and the only thing they could get rid of to thank Zhang Xinghan and his troops.  In such an era where having a full stomach is the greatest happiness and also a luxury, these chickens, fish, meat, eggs, grains and grains are no less precious than the gold in peacetime in later generations.  A group of guards formed a human wall about ten meters away from the entrance of the restaurant to prevent the excited people from crossing the border.  No matter whether these people come to work in the army or to do something else, they must be extremely careful.  This is their job.  Zhang Xinghan stepped forward. Before he could say anything, someone in the crowd shouted: "Folks, this is Commander-in-Chief Zhang. He is our great benefactor in Niujiatun. Last night, he personally led  The soldiers of the subordinates eradicated the vicious Black Tiger Village, leading the troops and fighting with the bandits. "Zhang Xinghan looked around and saw Mayor Li raising his arms and shouting in the crowd.  “Kowtow to your great benefactor, kowtow to our Commander-in-Chief Zhang.” Someone in the crowd shouted.  Thousands of men, women, old and children knelt down one after another. Zhang Xinghan's expression changed and he quickly stepped forward. The guards stepped aside automatically.  He hurriedly came to a man withIn front of the old man who was a child, he helped his grandfather and grandson up: "Old man, you can't do it, you must not do it, get up quickly." The old man was a little excited, and a pair of old hands like withered leaves grabbed Zhang Xinghan's hands, trembling with excitement  Abnormal said: "General Zhang, you don't know, this bandit Du Shuangqiang has been running rampant in our Yushu County for several years. I don't know how many girls have been ruined and how many lives have been lost. We do it every day.  We are all on tenterhooks, living on thin ice. If you hadn't personally led the troops to eliminate them this time, the dozen girls who were kidnapped in our Niujiatun would have been doomed. You are our Niujiatun and the leader of the entire Yushu County.  A hero and a great benefactor." The old man was very excited. Maybe when Zhang Xinghan led his men in a bloody battle with the Japanese, because of the backward information in this era, they could only vaguely hear about the deeds of fighting the Japanese.  "In addition, the Japanese were defeated too quickly and did not have time to cause serious damage to the vast Northeast region. People in some remote areas did not hate the Japanese so deeply, let alone felt the pain.  Therefore, to ordinary people, Zhang Xinghan's illustrious military exploits are far less important than the gratitude he received for eradicating banditry this time.  The idea of ??protecting the home and the country is limited to the middle and upper classes in this era where literacy levels are not universal.  The people at the lowest level are what they want.  All they care about is food, clothing and stability, nothing more.  In the original history, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force. As the war progressed, it was because countless grassroots people were affected by the flames of war and persecuted by the Japanese devils and lackey traitors. They had no choice but to join the army.  From then on, he embarked on a bloody road to restore the country and avenge his family.  Zhang Xinghan said sincerely: "Old man. As soldiers, it is our unshirkable responsibility to protect the environment and the people and maintain local security. These are what we should do. Please don't worry too much, folks." "How can that be done?  , you and the soldiers died in order to fight the bandits, and we have nothing to offer. These are our thoughts. Please accept them, General Zhang." The old man said and put them on the ground.  He picked up a small basket of eggs and stuffed them into Zhang Xinghan's hand.  Zhang Xinghan quickly waved his hand and refused: "Old man, we can't have this thing. We have accepted the wishes of the folks." "General Zhang, please accept it." "Yes, General Zhang, this is a point of the folks.  Please just accept it,” the people said one after another.  Zhang Xinghan raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Folks, please be quiet and listen to what Zhang has to say." The people were noisy and silent.  They all looked at Zhang Xinghan eagerly, expecting what he would say.  Zhang Xinghan paused and said loudly: "Folks, I understand your thoughts, and I understand them on behalf of my soldiers!" Zhang Xinghan covered his chest and said solemnly: "I know, everyone's gains this year  Chengdu is not very good, because we have to fight against the Japanese, and our food rations in the three northeastern provinces are very tight. The villagers may not have much food rations, but you can still come up with these things to reward us soldiers, Zhang Xinghan thought.  It's really hot. To be honest, since ancient times, it is only natural for soldiers to eat food, carry guns and fight. The existence of bandits like Du Shuangqiang is our dereliction of duty as soldiers. It is our failure to protect your food and clothing.  Parents, we are the folks who pay taxes and pay taxes. Not only do you not blame us, but you are so kind to us, which makes us soldiers feel guilty and moved.” Zhang Xinghan’s words surprised all the people present.  Officials have always been superior, and the army is all composed of soldiers. When has anyone ever cared about the life and death of ordinary people like them? How could an official talk to them so amiably? Let alone talk to them.  Do you call them the parents of food and clothing? With such an army, the common people feel friendly, so why not support and support them? The common people are so moved, let alone asking them to donate food and pay taxes, even if they are allowed to join the army, they will be killed as soldiers  If they are enemies, they will not hesitate to send their children and husbands to support them firmly.  The human heart has been something that cannot be exchanged for a piece of gold since ancient times. It is so precious.  Zhang Xinghan was also excited, his heart was surging, and his nose was sore. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. He smiled and continued loudly: "So, if the folks really want to provide food for us soldiers, wait until next year.  When we have plenty of food and food and clothing, we can come to the folks' homes to have a meal again. What do you think, old man?" Zhang Xinghan's last words were asked to the old man in front of him.  The old man was moved to tears and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay." He kept cheering.  Behind the windows on the second floor, Alice and Irene watched all this.  Alice looked at Zhang Xinghan affectionately.Looking back, he couldn't help but said: "Irene, why do you think he is so different and special?" "Oh? Really? How is he different?" Irene looked at her with a smirk.  "He treats his own people with kindness and tolerance. He is completely different from the Eastern rulers I know. He is not domineering or bullying the people. When dealing with the enemy, he is extremely brave, like a paladin sent by God.  " Alice said as she recalled the scene yesterday where Zhang Xinghan fought the bandits desperately with a gun and a sword.  PS: Thank you everyone for your votes!

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 304 Zhang Xinghan wants to be a father

    "Oh my God, Alice, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the proud daughter of the Marx family would now become such a nymphomaniac." Irene pursed her lips and teased.  Alice disapproved, her eyes still stared at Zhang Xinghan below, and said: "He is really special, haven't you noticed?" Irene shook her head, it was over, Alice was hopeless.  "Alice, I have to remind you something. Zhang Xinghan is already married. He has a wife." Eileen said seriously.  When she mentioned this, Alice's fiery eyes dimmed obviously.  When Zhang Xinghan saw off the enthusiastic townspeople, it was already more than half an hour later.  Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sigh, this political and ideological work is really not done by humans, it is too tiring, it would be nice if the chief of staff was here.  "Commander, County Magistrate Zhang and the others are here." Guo Zhong reminded, pointing to the street not far away.  Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Zhang Shi walking over with a young man wearing a security uniform.  From a distance, Zhang Xinghan could see Zhang Shi greeting him with a smile on his face.  "Commander Zhang, good morning!" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and took a few steps forward to greet him: "Good morning, County Magistrate Zhang." "I heard that you were leaving, so I came here to see you off." Zhang Shi said and turned around.  He introduced: "This is the captain of our Yushu County Security Team, Zhang Kuan, who is also a dog." "Zhang Kuan, a humble official, has met Commander-in-Chief Zhang!" Zhang Kuan quickly stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the young man in front of him up and down, and nodded slightly in return.  The way of the heart.  The security teams in each county were basically established by local people who contributed money and guns. Zhang Shi used his own son as the captain.  There’s nothing wrong with that.  The security team basically did not participate in the battle last night and was left at the foot of the mountain to serve as a reserve team and cordon off. With such absolute elites as the guard battalion, the security team's combat effectiveness is basically not even third-rate. Local armed forces, really  Not useful.  So Zhang Xinghan has never met Zhang Kuan.  "Yes, we are busy with military affairs. I plan to take the troops back." Zhang Xinghan paused and said: "County Magistrate Zhang, as the head of the county. There is such a banditry in Yushu County, and you have an unshirkable responsibility.  "Hearing this, Zhang Shi's expression suddenly changed, cold sweat broke out, and he quickly said: "Commander-in-Chief, it's not that the subordinates didn't do anything. It's because the county's armed forces are weak and unable to exterminate the bandits. I have also asked for help from my superiors many times.  , requested to send regular troops to help suppress the bandits, but nothing happened, and there was no news. " Zhang Xinghan changed his tone and said: "Well, I know this, so I won't pursue the crime of dereliction of duty.  Now that the banditry has been eliminated, County Magistrate Zhang, please don't let it resurgence in the future. Do you understand?" Zhang Shi felt relieved when he heard that Zhang Xinghan did not pursue the case.  He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I will definitely keep this in mind, work hard to manage the affairs of this county, and never let the bandits resurgence." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "That's very good. As a parent official, I should do my best.  It is your duty to benefit the people of your area." After speaking, Zhang Xinghan patted Zhang Kuan's shoulder: "Captain Zhang, you must assist and cooperate with County Magistrate Zhang's work. When the time is right, I will allocate weapons and equipment to you.  and the backbone of the army, to help you expand the security force so that it can become a good fighting force that can truly protect the people and the country. "Zhang Xinghan's name is so familiar to Zhang Kuan that he has long been regarded as a role model and idol, so close.  Zhang Kuan was overjoyed to be in contact with Zhang Xinghan and encouraged by Zhang Xinghan himself.  He immediately stood up and responded loudly: "Yes, I will bear in mind Commander-in-Chief Zhang's teachings and live up to the general's expectations." "Haha, do your best!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded.  It didn’t take long for the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion to prepare all the vehicles. The people of Niujiatun, led by Zhang Shi, Mayor Li and others, lined the road to say goodbye.  The scene of thousands of people seeing them off was very exciting.  “The people here are really kind.” Alice, who was sitting in the back row of a military jeep, said with emotion as she looked out the window at the bustling people seeing off people.  Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing and smiled softly.  "Alice, Irene, what are your plans next?" The motorcade quickly drove out of the town, and the villagers seeing them off gradually moved away. Zhang Xinghan looked away, lit a cigarette, and asked casually.  Alice looked at him straightly, the ambiguous hint in her eyes could be understood by any man, Zhang Xinghan feltTrembling, he quickly turned around and looked back.  Alice rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "I want to go back to the country!" "Back to the country?" Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned around again and said, "Great, when are you leaving?" Ai  Seeing his reaction, Liz immediately trembled with anger. She turned around with a cold snort and said lukewarmly: "I'll leave tomorrow. You send me a plane to Shanghai, and I'll fly back to China on AVIC."  "So fast?" Zhang Xinghan looked shocked.  "Humph." Alice snorted and turned her head away, no longer answering.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and said, "Alice, actually, if you come back to China, I want you to do me a favor." "What favor?" Alice couldn't control herself and asked.  Zhang Xinghan immediately informed Alice of the production line equipment and technology he needed.  Seeing Alice frowning and looking troubled, Zhang Xinghan quickly expressed his position: "Alice, please don't worry, I will pay for the equipment and technology I need, no matter how much it costs, as long as you help me transport them.  Come to China!" Erin suddenly said: "Commander Zhang, you don't know that the fertilizers and breweries and other production equipment you want are not just small things, or even a batch of firearms. They need to be crossed across the ocean.  There are many difficulties involved, far beyond your imagination. In a word, it is very difficult. " "That's it" Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Alice rushed to say, "General Zhang, I promise you.  "Irene opened her mouth in surprise, looking at Alice with a face full of disbelief.  "You have saved my life. No matter how difficult it is, I will help you complete it. With the power of our Max family, it is not a problem to obtain these equipment and technologies." Alice said: "Don't worry.  , It’s really possible.” Having said that, Zhang Xinghan also knows how difficult it is to transport so much machinery and equipment from across the ocean at this time, but if he wants to develop, he must have these things.  ?Fortunately.  Now that the entire South Manchuria area has been liberated, all goods no longer need to be unloaded at the Shanghai terminal. They can be driven directly to Jinzhou or Dalian Lushun Military Port.  Although there is a blockade by the Japanese navy at sea, they probably don’t have the guts to offend the British Empire’s cargo ships, right? “Thank you, Alice. On behalf of the 30 million Northeastern elders, and on behalf of my 250,000 Northeastern border guards, thank you!”  Zhang Xinghan reached out and grabbed Alice's white little hand, and said very solemnly and seriously.  Alice’s pretty face turned red.  He said: "Don't be so polite to me, you are my savior." After saying that, he broke away from Zhang Xinghan's strong hand. Aren't Chinese people very reserved?  Why do you always grab people's hands when nothing happens?  Irene was still there I was speechless all the way. After returning to Harbin, Zhang Xinghan hosted a banquet to entertain Alice and Irene.  Even if you are practicing for them, you can't ask for anything from others, so how can you be stingy?  Early the next morning, a C-47 transport plane was arranged to take them to Shanghai.  Near the airport tarmac.  Zhang Xinghan personally drove the two Alice here.  After getting off the bus, there were already soldiers helping to carry the luggage.  Erin also went to help.  Alice looked at Zhang Xinghan with expression, suddenly embraced him, hugged him tightly with both hands, and began to sob softly without saying a word.  Zhang Xinghan was stunned and didn’t know where to place his hands.  Alice has a pretty good figure, with big breasts and perky butt, and slender legs. She has a devilish figure.  The skin was smooth, as if she had just been washed with milk. Zhang Xinghan just wanted to hug her and feel the smooth skin and the turbulent softness.  However, Alice suddenly let go of him, kissed him on the cheek, and said with flushed cheeks: "Zhang, I will miss you" After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly towards the cabin door.  The high heels clicked, and Zhang Xinghan was completely stunned. He didn't come back to his senses until Alice got on the plane.  Damn it, foreign girls are really hot and bold, how dare you take advantage of me?  Humph, for the sake of helping me a lot, I will reluctantly endure this time. I must kiss you next time.  After seeing off Alice and the two, Zhang Xinghan drove directly back to the headquarters of the 6th Independent Division.  Division commander Wang Yicai came out and said, "Commander, are you all sent away?" "Yes, sent away." Zhang Xinghan got out of the car, nodded and walked inside.  Wang Yicai followed with a smile, and Zhang Xinghan suddenly turned around and said: "Yicai, please immediately ask the communications corps to send a message to the Chief of Staff and ask him to return to Jilin quickly. I have something important to discuss." "Yes, I will arrange it immediately."  Wang Yicai happily responded, turned around and left.??.  In the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan took the guard battalion and flew back to Jilin City on a transport plane.  As soon as I got off the plane, I met Wang Ruoying.  "Xinghan, you're back?!" Wang Ruoying waved her hand happily, and then walked quickly this way.  Zhang Xinghan strode over, looked at Wang Ruoying with some doubts and said, "Ruoying, why have you changed?" "Changed? Where have you changed?" Wang Ruoying asked with a smile.  "Looks like I've gained some weight." Zhang Xinghan murmured, staring at Wang Ruoying's abdomen.  "Fool." Wang Ruoying came over and whispered to Zhang Xinghan: "I have it, it's been almost two months." "What did you say?" Zhang Xinghan was shocked.  "I said I'm pregnant and you're going to be a father!" Wang Ruoying repeated again.  Zhang Xinghan was startled at first, and then he hugged Wang Ruoying ecstatically: "That's great, my wife, I love you to death, I'm going to be a father, hahaha, I, Zhang Xinghan, am going to be a father!" "Hate,  Put me down quickly and don't touch the child." Wang Ruoying's happy screams followed Zhang Xinghan's laughter.  (To be continued.

    His wife was pregnant, and Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood. He went home to meet his parents and siblings. In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Baili flew back to Jilin from Tongliao.  Zhang Xinghan was cautiously walking with Wang Ruoying when Guo Zhong rushed over to report: "Commander, the chief of staff has arrived at the airport and is rushing to the headquarters." "Okay, I understand, I will be there later." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and Guo  Zhong nodded and walked out of the yard, waiting outside.  "Honey, I'm going to work first. You have to pay attention to yourself and take care of yourself when you go." As his first true blood relative in this world, Zhang Xinghan committed a common problem among all men, and his care and love for Wang Ruoying increased.  A thousand times more.  "I'm fine. Don't worry. Both the doctor and my mother-in-law have told me that there will be no major problems in the past few months. My mother-in-law and Sister-in-law Zhou can take care of me. You can go about your business without worrying about me and the child."  "Wang Ruoying said with a happy face.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan leaned down and put his head close to her slightly bulging belly.  Wang Ruoying's cheeks turned red from embarrassment, she nudged him and said coquettishly: "Xinghan, whatever you do will be seen by others, which is not good." "If you don't do anything, I will listen to our son again." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  .  Wang Ruoying smiled happily and said, "How do you know it's a son? Maybe it's a daughter?" "Oh, I made a mistake. It's not just a son, it's a son and a daughter, a twin boy and a girl!" Zhang Xinghan laughed.  "I hate it." Wang Ruoying lightly hit him with her pink fist.  "Haha" Zhang Xinghan strode away happily.  Wang Ruoying moved in small steps to the door, watched him get into the car, and waved to say goodbye.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and drove away quickly with Guo Zhong.  The car soon arrived at the Northeast Border Defense Army headquarters in Jilin.  The guard camp was all back under construction. As soon as Zhang Xinghan got out of the car, several guards guarding the gate of the headquarters stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and strode inside with Guo Zhong.  There are dark clouds in the sky.  There was thunder and lightning, and soon it was pouring rain.  Zhang Xinghan sat on the conference table in the headquarters conference room, smoking a cigarette and saying: "This rain has come at the right time. The crops in the fields are now growing at the most important time. With this heavy rain, the people's  The harvest should be much better, right?" Guo Zhong comes from a poor family, so he naturally knows what this rain means.  He nodded and said: "Well, the general manager is right. With this rain, the harvest will be at least 10% or 20% better." "Next year. After our fertilizer plant is built, I can guarantee that our Northeast  The grain harvest will increase several times!" Zhang Xinghan vowed.  "Fertilizer factory?" Guo Zhong asked in confusion: "General Manager, what does the fertilizer factory do?" "It is to produce fertilizer that can fertilize the land. It is called a fertilizer factory. With this kind of fertilizer, we can then improve water conservancy.  By producing a variety of pesticides that prevent diseases, insect pests and poisons, people will be able to have a bumper harvest every year. By then, the yield per acre will not be a problem!" Zhang Xinghan explained briefly.  "A thousand catties per mu?" Guo Zhong's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.  At this time, a soldier from outside ran in and said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief. The Chief of Staff is here." As soon as the soldier finished reporting, Jiang Baili, dressed in military uniform, walked in despite the rain.  "Oh, it's been a hard journey, Chief of Staff!" Zhang Xinghan stood up and greeted him with a smile.  "It's nothing hard, just a quick trip from Chengde to Tongliao. I got on the plane when I arrived in Tongliao. I slept for more than an hour and still didn't wake up. The adjutant informed me that I had arrived at the station." Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "When the situation stabilizes, we will build another military airport in Chengde to facilitate our transportation and future military operations." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili nodded in agreement and asked: "Chief, what's the matter with calling me here so urgently?" "No hurry, how is the matter in Rehe being handled? Are there any abnormalities in Chahar and Pingjin areas?" Zhang Xinghan's thug asked  road.  "All areas of Rehe are already under the control of our army, and everything is proceeding step by step. The situation in Chahar is still very calm. Both the 29th Army and the 41st Army are seriously injured and injured.  "It's broken, there won't be any more action in the short term. However, the Northeastern Army in the Pingjin area and the Wanfulin Division deployed in Miyun and other places have been transferred to the south, and it seems that they have been transferred to Shanhaiguan." Jiang Baili thought for a while and replied.  .  "That's it, then we can withdraw Sabli's cavalry brigade."??Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Put Sabli's cavalry brigade into Jehol and keep its structure unchanged, so as to facilitate the response to possible changes in the northwest and Pingjin areas!" "Well, I also have this idea. Let's  It really coincides with this." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  "Okay, let's discuss business now." Zhang Xinghan turned around and took a combat map personally, spread it out on the conference table.  "You should know, Chief of Staff, that Alice and two reporters were kidnapped by bandits this time, right?" "Yes, I just learned about it," Jiang Baili nodded.  "There are such ruthless bandits in a small Yushu County. It is not difficult to imagine how many other bandits, large and small, are there in the three northeastern provinces? A very few of them are green forest heroes who rob the rich and give to the poor, and most of them are brutal  They are unkind and harm others. They kill innocent people indiscriminately and destroy the local economy and agricultural development. If they are not rectified, they will become a serious problem sooner or later, which is an extremely negative factor for the stability of our Northeast region. The people are in fear all day long.  A happy life of living and working in peace and contentment?" Thinking of the three guards who died tragically beside him one day, Zhang Xinghan became angrier as he spoke, his eyes red and his teeth gritted.  Seeing him like this, Jiang Baili asked tentatively: "What do you mean, Commander-in-Chief?" "Immediately launch a full-scale large-scale bandit suppression operation in the four northeastern provinces. Within three months, I don't want to hear anymore about the four northeastern provinces."  If the people in any area are harmed by bandits, we must ensure that the safety of people's lives and property are not harmed. Protecting our homes and our country is the loudest slogan of our soldiers. If we cannot maintain public security in our base areas.  Even if you can't do it right, talking about defending the territory and protecting the country is pure nonsense!" Zhang Xinghan said with an angry expression.  Jiang Baili pondered for a moment.  Said: "Commander, suppressing bandits will bring peace to the people and restore peace to the country. It is conducive to the development of people's livelihood. I agree with this humble position. However, large-scale suppression of bandits is no less than organizing a general battle of 100,000 people. Our army has just experienced the war against Japan.  The Soviet self-defense campaign has not yet recovered, and the new recruits to the army are still in training. Others still say that this military ration is a bit difficult to handle. " "Didn't we handle a large batch of food some time ago?  ? Millions of kilograms of grain are not enough for our army?" Zhang Xinghan asked in confusion.  "Commander, millions of kilograms of grain may sound like a lot at first glance, but it must be evenly distributed to hundreds of large and medium-sized cities and thousands of counties and towns in northern Manchuria. In order to solve the food crisis of the people, these investigations and punishments  After deducting the food and salaries of the brothers, there is not much left," Jiang Baili said with a look of embarrassment.  "What? Millions of kilograms of grain just disappeared?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  "Isn't it? The entire Northern Manchuria region has a population of millions. One pound per person is not enough, so there is really not much food." Jiang Baili spread his hands helplessly.  "Damn it, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a family member. I used to be a battalion commander. You really don't need to think so much." Zhang Xinghan laughed at himself and suddenly asked: "By the way, the food hoarding in Southern Manchuria that Wu Qingzhong told me  "How is the investigation going?" "I don't know about this humble position. The reconnaissance battalion is solely responsible for it. Why don't you call Shen Yizhi to ask?" Jiang Baili shook his head.  "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded, turned to Guo Zhong and said: "Zhongzi, go and call and ask. Is Shen Yizhi at the reconnaissance battalion headquarters? If he is, ask him to come over immediately. If he is not, find a way to get it from him.  Contact us and inquire about the matter of collecting grain." "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded, turned around and quickly took the order.  Not long after, Guo Zhong came back and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Battalion Commander Shen has been contacted. He is in Jilin and will be there in a minute." "Well, go and pour two cups of tea." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Signal.  Guo Zhong nodded, turned around and left. Not long after, he came over with two cups of hot tea. At that moment, Shen Xingye strode in with his head held high.  When he arrived, he stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and said: "General seat, guest seat, Shen Xingye has been ordered to come and report." "Yizhi, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you getting fatter? I've seen you during this time.  You'll have a pretty cool life this way," Zhang Xinghan joked with a smile.  "Commander, please don't laugh at me. During this period of busy work in my humble position, I have never failed to exercise. How could I be fat?" Shen Xingye said.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand with a smile and asked, "Okay, let's get down to business. How is the investigation of the Nanmantun grain incident going?" Shen Xingye put away his smile and said with a solemn expression, "I'm incompetent in my job, everything has been wasted."  "All in vain?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised and disappointed.see.  "Yes, I think it is very likely that the enemies in the southern Manchuria area knew our movements in advance and moved all the locations that Wu Qingzhong knew," Shen Xingye said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's ignore this matter for now. The next step is mainly to carry out large-scale suppression of bandits in the four northeastern provinces." "Let's do it, Yizhi, your reconnaissance camp is here  For a period of time, we must focus on searching, investigating and sorting out information about bandits in various provinces and counties, so as to provide accurate information to our bandit-suppressing army," Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes, I will do my best to handle this matter." Shen Xingye responded loudly.  "Chief of Staff, as for the problem of army rations, we can solve it this way. We will carry a batch ourselves, and then go to various places to suppress bandits. The local government will be responsible for raising it. However, there should not be too many troops participating in suppressing bandits. Some veterans will bring a group of new soldiers, and then  It can only be supplemented by the militia of the security teams in each county. It can save military expenses, and secondly, it can also improve the combat experience and strength of the recruits and the security teams from various places." Zhang Xinghan ordered Jiang Baili again.  (To be continued

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 306: Northeast Border Guards (60 monthly votes plus more updates)

    "Well, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Jiang Baili nodded happily.  "Another point is that every bandit's den will hide a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, food and other property. These can be used to offset the military rations provided by the common people, which is considered to be purchased by us." Zhang Xinghan said.  "The commander-in-chief is wise. Our army is an army of benevolence and righteousness. Only in this way can we gain the support and love of the people. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will prosper, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose. Although it is straightforward, it has been proven by countless precedents."  Jiang Baili said.  "By the way, one more thing, Commander, the new troop numbers and organization issued by the Nationalist Government Military Commission have been issued to us. I wonder if we can complete the formal reorganization of the troops before launching the bandit suppression operation?" Jiang Baili  asked.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said, "Well, let's do as you say." After receiving Zhang Xinghan's instructions, Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others began to get busy with the formal reorganization of the troops and the mobilization of military rations.  Agents from Shen Xingye’s reconnaissance camp in various places are also busy collecting information about bandits in various places.  ……………… Qingmu County is located in the northwest of Liaoning. Because it is located on the provincial border, when the Zhang family ruled the Northeast, the garrison troops in various provinces pushed each other, so Qingmu County was basically a three-no-thing zone.  Therefore, Qingmu County has serious banditry problems, with more than a dozen groups of bandits, large and small, making it a poor county with the most chaos and worst security in Liaoning.  When Zhang Xinghan took charge of the Northeast, although the new county magistrate wanted to suppress bandits, he was unable to implement it. Basically, the situation was similar to that in Yushu County.  The Northeast Frontier Defense Force is busy with external defense operations and has no time to take care of banditry in these areas.  But today.  Qingmu County Magistrate Wang Jun finally showed a long-lost smile because Shenyang had just sent a message.  A special commissioner was ordered to come to Qingmu County to investigate the banditry situation in the territory. It seems that the commander-in-chief is ready to take action against these cancers.  After receiving the news, Wang Jun said that the special commissioner would arrive today, and he took several subordinates to wait outside the gate of the county government early in the morning.  While they were waiting impatiently, a black car finally appeared in Wang Jun's sight.  Wang Jun straightened his clothes and took two steps forward with several subordinates. A black car sped up and stopped in front of them.  The car door opens.  Three men in casual clothes walked down one after another.  The leader was about 27 or 27 years old, with a short head, a square face, a sturdy build, and sharp eyes. He looked at Wang Jun and others, and asked lukewarmly: "You are Wang Jun. County Magistrate Wang?" Wang  Jun felt a chill on his back as he stared at him. He forced himself to nod calmly and said, "Yes, that's right." The short-haired man took out a certificate and said, "We are here on orders from our superiors.  Special commissioners carrying out special orders from Qingmu County. Please lead the way immediately. We are going to Nanxiang Town. "Well, you guys have been working hard all the way. Do you want to go to the county government and have a warm meal before you get busy?"  Work?" Wang Jun said cautiously.  The man with the short hair said in a cold tone: "Thank you, no need. We are pressed for time. Officials at all levels in Qingmu County can just cooperate with us in our work." Although Wang Jun didn't like the indifferent attitude of the man in front of him.  But I still admire his style of doing things, he is very capable in everything he does.  What is efficiency and what is seriousness are clearly reflected in them.  "Okay, I will fully cooperate with you." Wang Jun nodded.  "Please get in the car with us." The short-haired man turned around and held his hands.  Wang Jun said a few words to the subordinates behind him and then got into the car.  Since he took office, Wang Jun has already conducted in-depth visits and investigations to various places under his rule. He basically knows the topography, humanities and customs of Qingmu County well.  With his guidance and cooperation, the three short-haired men arrived at their destination quickly. After putting on makeup to cover up, they began to conduct careful exploration and reconnaissance of several bandit strongholds in the territory.  This kind of work happens almost every day in the four northeastern provinces.  Five days later, the official reorganization of the troops began.  The official designations of the ten major motorized infantry divisions of the former Northeastern New Army were the 200th Division to the 209th Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army.  Judging from the order of battle of the Nationalist Government army at this time, the unit designation is far from 200 divisions. As for the numbers before the 200 divisions, Chairman Chiang must have kept them for himself.  However, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was also very kind. In addition to being a formal army division number, the 209th Division will be temporarily vacant from now on. He specially added a message to the message. If a new unit number is needed, it can be reported to the Military Commission for approval.  As for the Air Force, the original pilots also have official designations and serve as the National Revolutionary Army Air Force.?The 3rd Division has four flying regiments, namely two fighter regiments, one bombing regiment, and one transport regiment.  Each flight regiment has four to six flight groups, and the first group has three to four squadrons.  In terms of armored forces, the official designation of the original armored group army after reorganization was the National Revolutionary Army Armored Tank Independent Army. Because the tank and armored forces at the military division level were the only ones under Zhang Xinghan in China at this time.  Therefore, the designation of the Independent Army was granted.  Several other heavy artillery brigades have also been added to the Northeast Border Guard Independent 12345th Heavy Artillery Brigade.  The cavalry brigade transferred to Rehe and the more than 10,000 troops transferred from various divisions were not included in the scope of this reorganization because they had just been formed and the Military Commission did not know about them.  After the reorganization, the military commanders of each unit and the existing personnel and equipment will remain the same.  Jilin, the former Northeast New Army headquarters, several soldiers at the gate are busy replacing the new archway.  The original Northeast New Army Headquarters brand was removed and officially replaced by the National Revolutionary Army Northeast Frontier Defense Army Headquarters brand with the blue sky and white sun emblem.  In the headquarters, after listening to Jiang Baili's report, Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and was satisfied.  After Jiang Baili finished his report, he closed the folder and said, "Commander, the troops in the three northeastern provinces have now changed to new official designations, but the infantry and cavalry troops newly transferred to Jehol by our army do not have official designations yet. Do you think?"  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then made a decision: "Let's do this. All the troops in Rehe Province will be unified into the 210th Division, and the cavalry brigade will be the troops directly under the division headquarters. After all, the situation in Rehe is special, and there is no situation where armored forces are stationed.  "The cavalry brigade still plays an important role." "Okay." Jiang Baili nodded.  "What is the total strength of our army now? How is the distribution of the troops? Chief of Staff, please give me a detailed introduction, and we will redeploy it based on the current situation in each province." Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Okay." Jiang Baili walked to the map and said: "General, let me first introduce to you the distribution of our army's divisions in the three northeastern provinces. First of all, the 200th Division (formerly the First Division) is stationed in Dalian and Jinzhou.  The other divisions were all transferred to North Manchuria when rushing north for reinforcements. However, after the battle, the 201st Division had returned south to Shenyang and Liaoyang, and was jointly responsible for the defense of major cities on the South Manchuria Railway Line with the 200th Division.  The 202nd Division is stationed in Changchun, Tongliao, and Xinmin areas, and is divided into Liaoning and Jilin Provinces. The 203rd Division has officially been stationed in Jilin City, and is mainly responsible for the defense of Jilin, south of Jilin, and east of Siping. The 204th Division is stationed in Hulunbuir.  , responsible for the defense of Hailar in Manchuria. The 205th Division is stationed in Harbin and is responsible for the defense of several large and small cities along the middle section of the Songhua River and the Middle East Railway. The 206th Division is still stationed in Heihe, Yichun and other places, and the 207th Division is currently stationed in Harbin.  Qiqihar. The 208th Division is stationed in Jiamusi and is jointly responsible for the defense of the eastern border. The 209th Division is currently stationed in Mudanjiang, Jixi and other Sino-Soviet borders. You know that the 210th Division is in Rehe.  . As for the heavy artillery units, one is deployed at the border of Heihe and Jiamusi and Mudanjiang. The other two remain in Dalian and the other is currently stationed in Changchun. They can move southward or northward by railway line at any time to support the independent tanks and armored forces in various battlefields.  Of the three divisions, one is on the front line in Manchuria to guard against the Russians, and the other two are currently on the Jilin Air Force side. They are relatively scattered. Basically, our air force fighters are stationed at various airports to facilitate various reconnaissance and combat missions.  In total, the total number of our army's land and air force combat personnel and logistics personnel is more than 310,000, including 230,000 combat troops. The battle losses of our army in the Battle of Southern Manchuria and the battle losses in the Battle of Northern Manchuria have been recorded.  Recruitment over a period of time has been replenished, and the military strength has basically returned to its peak half a year ago, and is now in a very stable stage. However, it is foreseeable that with the continuous development of the army, our military strength will continue to expand.  , But the premise is that we have sufficient food and wages." After listening to this, Zhang Xinghan stared at the map, pondered for a long time, and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, please send me an order immediately, and the 2nd Armored Tank Division will immediately station in Tongliao.  , the 3rd Division immediately went south and stationed in Jinzhou, responsible for warning the pass and preventing changes in Rehe! " "Also, the troops must be expanded. Although we have 230,000 combat troops, we have to guard four provinces.  Millions of square kilometers of land are far from enough, especially the long coastal defense lines and border lines, which require extremely large numbers of troops.?Motorized infantry divisions can be expanded by recruiting new recruits in the future, and they can all be expanded according to the scale of reorganized divisions. The full number of personnel in each division can be limited to about 30,000.  " "Okay, I made a note of it. If there is nothing else, I will go and generate electricity for each division.  "Jiang Baili nodded after writing them down one by one. "Go.  Zhang Xinghan said: "The reorganization of the troops is completed. Is it time to start the operation to eliminate the bandits?"  " "Well, the troops stationed in various cities have already sent troops towards their destinations. It is expected that in three days, they will all arrive at their targeted destinations, and then they can launch an attack.  "Jiang Baili nodded again. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 307: Arrival of Equipment

    Three days later, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force dispatched a total of more than 70,000 troops. With the cooperation of local militia and security teams in various provinces and counties, they launched a lightning attack on hundreds of bandit lairs, large and small, in the four provinces.  With careful early reconnaissance by the reconnaissance battalion and intelligence support, the anti-bandit forces in each province are progressing very smoothly.  No matter how ferocious the bandits are, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the well-equipped Northeastern Border Guards.  Basically, with a burst of artillery fire, the bandit beards, who suffered heavy casualties, raised a white flag.  The bandit suppression operation lasted for more than half a month, and most of the large-scale bandits in the four provinces were wiped out.  Some who were lucky enough to escape are being hunted down by militia and security forces and bandit suppression forces from various places.  In the past half a month, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Tank and Armored Independent Army were ordered to station in Tongliao and Jinzhou respectively.  It has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army west of Liaoning and Jilin, especially in the direction of Shanhaiguan and Rehe. These two tank and armored units are definitely strategic deterrent forces.  In the headquarters, Jiang Baili was reporting to Zhang Xinghan on the results and progress of the anti-bandit forces.  In the past half month, Jiang Baili traveled back and forth between Rehe and Jilin no less than dozens of times. The counties in Rehe have basically returned to normal life order. The reorganization of the 210th garrison division has also been successfully completed. The division commander has been replaced by the original  Sabli, the commander of the cavalry brigade, also serves as the commander.  "Commander, so far, our paid troops from all provinces have wiped out bandits, big and small, in the past half month or so. In more than 300 lines, 7,892 stubborn bandits have been killed and wounded. All kinds of old items have been seized.  More than 5,000 guns and a batch of ammunition were also seized, including gold and silver treasures, grain, cloth and other items, worth a total of more than 58 silver dollars, of which 300,000 were used to pay 80,000 for the grain that the anti-bandit forces received from local people.  There are still 200,000 silver dollars left to reward meritorious soldiers and the families of martyrs who died heroically, and they are currently being transported to Jilin City. " After listening to Jiang Baili's report.  Zhang Xinghan nodded lightly and said: "I am ordering all the troops to compensate the families of the fallen officers and soldiers. The pensions must be as large as possible and must be ensured. The remains of the fallen soldiers must be cremated and then transported to Jilin for future cooperation."  Stored in the Chinese Martyrs' Shrine. "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded solemnly.  At this moment, Guo Zhong walked in excitedly, holding a message in his hand. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he saluted and said, "Commander, Miss Alice has called." "Oh? What do you say? Zhang Xinghan suddenly became energetic after hearing this.  Shocked. “See for yourself.  "Guo Zhong smiled and handed the telegram to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan walked two steps over and took the telegram in his hand. He hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and said with joy: "That's great, Alice said, the first thing we need is  A batch of equipment was loaded ten days ago and is expected to arrive at Lushun Military Port in a few days.  With this equipment we can build our own fertilizer plant.  " Jiang Baili also heard Zhang Xinghan talk about the role of chemical fertilizers, and he admired Zhang Xinghan. He was also looking forward to this kind of fertilizer that can increase grain production. When Zhang Xinghan said that the equipment was coming soon, he and Guo Zhong were very excited.  Cheering loudly, Zhang Xinghan continued to look down and said even more excitedly: "Alice also said that she has hired a group of technicians and workers for us, and she has already paid the salary in advance. With them, we can  Help us put into production as soon as possible, and help us train and train our own workers and technicians.  " "Commander-in-Chief, Miss Alice really has nothing to say to you.  "Jiang Baili joked with a smile. "Is it good for me?  Zhang Xinghan pretended not to understand, and laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I saved her name?"  He should be repaying his kindness, yes, that must be the case.  "Jiang Baili and Guo Zhong couldn't help laughing, their faces flushed with laughter. "Okay, don't hold it back, just laugh if you want.  Zhang Xinghan shrugged helplessly and said, "How could I not know about Alice's friendship for me?"  It's just that I already have Ruoying, and I am content and will not marry another woman, so she and I can only be very good friends.  " Jiang Baili secretly admired Zhang Xinghua's words. With Zhang Xinghan's current reputation, identity, power, and status, what kind of woman can't get it if she wants it? " I don't know how many young and beautiful socialites and college female students in the country are interested in him.  I have been admiring him for a long time, and I am eager to follow a national hero like General Zhang. But he can always choose just one among thousands of flowers. Although it is extremely difficult for men to marry three wives and four concubines at this time.  Not as many as before, but not noneYes, especially for a powerful man like Zhang Xinghan, it would be extremely common for him to marry several concubines.  What democracy and freedom?  Gender equality?  Everything becomes bullshit in the face of power and money.  ??In future generations, the red flag will not fall down at home, but there will be many people flying colorful flags outside.  ???………………??Beiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  "Young Marshal, Zhang Xinghan is conducting a massive and large-scale bandit suppression operation in the four northeastern provinces. No less than 100,000 troops have been dispatched. Basically, more than 90% of the bandits and robbers in each province have been wiped out.  At the same time, they are constantly trying to recruit new troops and expand their military deployment. Zhang Xinghan added two tank divisions to Jinzhou and Tongliao, with the obvious intention of deterring our army. "  Chief of Staff Rong Jing made a routine report to Marshal Zhang while vomiting.  After hearing this, Marshal Zhang’s pale face looked even more pale, almost bloodless. Ever since the quarrel with Zhang Xinghan happened, Marshal Zhang had hardly had a comfortable day.  In Northeastern dialect, she is always upset, restless, sleepless and eating. In addition, she smokes heavily and frequently vents her depression on Miss Zhao Si.  Marshal Zhang’s health has been deteriorating and he is not as good as before.  Like an old and decrepit person, he waved his hand towards Rong Jin, beckoning him to leave.  Zhang Xiaoliu never said a word from beginning to end.  Rong Jin nodded understandingly and respectfully stepped out.  Only then did Miss Zhao Si, who looked haggard, walk in.  Looking at Zhang Xiaoliu lying on the sofa as if he had lost his soul.  Miss Zhao Si was heartbroken. She squatted beside him, helped his handsome face with both hands, and said with tears rolling down her face: "Han Qing, please don't be so depressed, okay? Don't think about these troubles anymore, let's go to Europe together."  Travel, stay away from Pingjin, stay away from the military. Can you spend every day happily?" Before she finished speaking, Miss Zhao Si was already bursting into tears, and she burst into tears.  ???…………………Nanjing, in the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, Bald Jiang, wearing glasses and a Chinese tunic suit, was reviewing documents.  He looked very serious.  Meticulous.  In fact, Bald Jiang does not smoke, nor does he like to drink, and he is conscientious in government affairs. However, the current National Government is like a terminally ill old man, covered in diseases.  At this time, Bald Jiang was no longer able to clean out these moths that were destroying the foundation of the country, because he relied on these people to make his fortune.  The interests of both parties have long been tied together.  ??Historical choices always have their own reasons. Even in this time and space, a corrupt National Government cannot last long.  They have long since broken away from the true Three People's Principles and become a group of dictators and exploiters who harm the country.  Words return to home.  Chairman Chiang was busy reviewing documents at this time.  There was a knock on the door outside.  "Please come in." Chairman Chiang said without raising his head.  The door was pushed open with a creak, and Dai Li, also wearing a Chinese tunic suit, walked in with his head held high.  His leather shoes clicked on the floor. When he reached him, Dai Li hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Committee!" "Well, Yunong, you are here. Sit down quickly." Chairman Jiang looked up at him and pointed his fingers solemnly.  He gestured towards the sofa.  "You sit down for a while, I'll be finished in a while." After speaking, Chairman Jiang lowered his head and continued to work.  Dai Li sat upright on the sofa and waited silently for more than half an hour.  Chairman Jiang closed the document, raised his head and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Yunong." Dai Li said with fear: "No, no, waiting for the principal is what students should do, and it is also their honor.  " Chairman Jiang was very satisfied with Dai Li's success. He stood up and walked to the sofa to sit opposite Dai Li. He asked: "What, do you have anything important to report? " "Commander, I just got the news about Zhang Xinghan's recent period.  The troops have been mobilized frequently to carry out the so-called large-scale bandit suppression operation in the four northeastern provinces, and the results have been very good. Ninety-five percent of the bandits in the four northeastern provinces have been eliminated," Dai Li said.  "Oh? Zhang Xinghan is quite willing to spend money? Didn't his troops just go through several battles and their vitality is severely damaged? Do they still need to spare efforts to suppress the bandits?" Chairman Jiang was slightly surprised, with obvious disapproval in his tone.  "Commissioned seat, student"What I mean is, isn't Zhang Xinghan doing this just to win over the people so that he can stay and take root in the Northeast for a long time in the future?  There is another thing. I found out that Zhang Xinghan asked people from Eastern Europe and the United States to buy a large number of unknown equipment!  " Dai Li continued. "What kind of large quantities of equipment?  Find out quickly.  "When Chairman Chiang heard about the unknown, he wanted to get angry. "The ship responsible for the consignment is the British Royal Company. We have no right to search and cannot board the ship, so we don't know what is on the ship.  .  Currently, these fleets are all in Hong Kong, and it is expected that they will head to the Northeast soon.  Dai Li said. "Principal, no matter what Zhang Xinghan bought, what this person did shows that he has ulterior motives. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, he will become a serious problem for the party and the country in the long run."  " Chairman Chiang did not give instructions immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked Dai Li: "Yunong, if I ask you to get rid of Zhang Xinghan now, how sure are you?  " "There is a 90% certainty in a humble position.  "Dai Li said confidently. "I mean, we want the outside world to think that Zhang Xinghan died at the hands of his own people, instead of being suspected of us, so that others can use it as an excuse to discredit us.  "Chairman Chiang said with an unquestionable tone in his tone. "In this case, it will be a bit troublesome, but if the commissioner agrees, I am willing to send our best agents to give it a try.  "Dai Li said. "Well, this is for you to think about it carefully. Don't rush into action. What I want is flawless. The person who performs the task must be a soldier who is loyal to the party and the country. He can give up at the critical moment whether he succeeds or fails.  People who sacrifice their own lives and serve the party and the country, do you understand?  "Chairman Chiang said with deep meaning. "Yes!  Students understand.  "Dai Li stood up and responded. ……………………… Five days later, Zhang Xinghan was notified that the cargo ship sent by Alice was about to arrive at the Bohai Bay. Zhang Xinghan immediately handed over the work at hand to Jiang Baili and took it himself.  Following Guo Zhong and other guards, they took a transport plane directly to Dalian. After more than two hours of flight, Huang Xiansheng, Niu Erzhu and others had been waiting for a long time. "Commander, long time no see."  "As soon as Huang Xiansheng and Niu Erzhu saw Zhang Xinghan getting off the plane, they happily greeted him. "Long time no see. Is everything okay, everyone?"  "Zhang Xinghan shook hands with them one by one cordially. "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, everything is fine.  "Niu Erzhu replied loudly. "Yeah.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "I came to Dalian this time to pick up a very important batch of goods. A fleet should arrive today and tomorrow. You must ask the guarding troops to pay more attention and make sure no accidents happen. If there is,  The British fleet let them into the harbor.  "    "yes!  "Huang Xiansheng, Niu Erzhu and others responded one after another. "Commander, you have had a hard journey. I have prepared food and wine at the division headquarters to welcome you and wash away the dust. Come on, how about we go back and eat and chat?  "Huang Xiansheng took Zhang Xinghansu's hand cordially and said. "Haha, if Brother Jingzhong invites you, then I'd rather be respectful than obey!  "Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily. The group of people quickly got on several military vehicles and went straight to the 200th Division headquarters in Dalian City. "Brother Jingzhong, nothing happened at the Yalu River border recently, right?  "Sitting in the car, Zhang Xinghan asked casually. "It's really not a big deal, but half a month ago, a food-grabbing team I sent encountered a Japanese patrol team, and the two sides had a small fight.  "Huang Xiansheng said. "Oh?  What was the result?  "Zhang Xinghan asked excitedly. Huang Xiansheng chuckled and said: "Generally, a squadron of little devils will be wiped out in less than an hour. The strength of both sides is one to one.  " "Commander, you don't know that since our troops secretly crossed the river several times, the little devils have also become vigilant and sent out patrols from time to time. Goryeo Bangzi has also become much more vigilant. As soon as he sees our food, he will  Hidden, now the business of overcoming robbery is not easy to do!  " Huang Xiansheng sighed.

    Zhang Xinghan smiled and patted Huang Xiansheng's shoulder gently, saying: "Brother Jingzhong, don't be discouraged." "Commander, in my opinion, the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula are not very strong, and most of them have just gone through the Battle of Dalian.  The remaining troops are defeated. If we can concentrate the strength of two to three divisions at this time, it should not be a problem to capture the Korean Peninsula. No matter what, we can capture the northern peninsula, leaving the little devils to confront us across the river on the peninsula, although it will be temporary.  Don't be afraid, but it is a serious problem after all. As the saying goes, how can we allow others to sleep on the bed? The little devil is right under our noses, and he has a sworn feud with us. If we can't protect him, he will kill us at any time.  "Why don't we drive them into the sea in advance and rush them back to their hometown in Japan to avoid future troubles?" Huang Xiansheng stated his opinion.  "Brother Jingzhong, I am very happy that you have such insight and foresight. In fact, to tell you the truth, I am more eager to attack the Korean Peninsula than you are. To completely drive little Japan off the East Asian continent. However, the current situation does not allow it.  Not to mention that after years of fighting, our three northeastern provinces have reached the point where they are completely exhausted. Let’s talk about the strength of the Japanese army. It is true that the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses in previous battles with our army and almost lost its combat effectiveness.  , the Japanese's first nationwide mobilization has been completed, and the second batch of 500,000-strong troops is ready. If it were not for the rapid defeat of the Kwantung Army, they would have already landed on the Liaodong Peninsula and competed with our army for southern Manchuria and even northern Manchuria.  Fortunately, we defeated the Kwantung Army before them and ended the Battle of Dalian. The Japanese were greatly depleted and their national power was severely depleted. We took this opportunity to stop the war and start fighting desperately.  Recuperate and recuperate. It is the calm before the storm between us and the Japanese. But if we want to attack the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese will never sit back and ignore it, because the Korean Peninsula is their last territory in East Asia.  The forward base and springboard of China must not be lost. Therefore, a forced attack on the Korean Peninsula will once again cause a large-scale bloody battle with the Japanese Empire. Therefore, we must not bear it at this stage.  Take the time to recuperate and restore our war potential. Once the time comes, your 200th Division will be the first to cross the Yalu River and enter the Korean Peninsula, I guarantee you." Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully.  "Yes." Huang Xiansheng nodded in deep agreement: "That makes sense, I understand." After dinner at Huang Xiansheng's division headquarters, soldiers came in and reported that a large number of British merchant ships had arrived at the dock.  Zhang Xinghan immediately arrived at the dock accompanied by Huang Xiansheng and others.  As soon as I got off the car, I saw huge ships moored in the military port.  A familiar figure stepped off a giant ship.  When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he waved and ran towards him.  "It's Miss Alice." Huang Xiansheng said with some surprise.  Zhang Xinghan felt bitter and embarrassed in his heart. He touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, then faced him bravely.  "Xinghan, I haven't seen you for more than a month. Do you miss me?" Alice came up and gave Zhang Xinghan a big hug, her words were shocking.  Huang Xiansheng and Guo Zhong both felt embarrassed and turned away with a secret smile.  "Well. Well, I think about it, of course I do." Zhang Xinghan said bravely.  "Why did you come back with the ship? I thought it would take a long time before you came to China again after returning to England." Zhang Xinghan asked curiously.  Alice whispered softly in his ear: "Because I miss you, otherwise I won't come back." Zhang Xinghan was afraid that Huang Xiansheng and others behind him would hear it.  Seeing the clues, he immediately blushed.  "Well, Alice, have you brought all the equipment and machines I need this time?" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly changed the subject.  Alice nodded and said: "Yes. I have brought them all. Look at these ships. They are all over 5,000 tons. There are also two 10,000-ton cargo ships. I have a lot of everything you need.  I brought it to you, enough for you to build a fertilizer plant and a brewery." Zhang Xinghan nodded happily: "Really, that's great, Alice, I welcome you again on behalf of the Northeast people and the Chinese people."  Alice smiled like a flower and said: "Xinghan, you are really humorous when you talk." "Really? Why didn't I feel it?""" Zhang Xinghan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Alice, without further ado, let the boatmen unload everything quickly, right?"  "    "OK, all right.  "Alice nodded happily. "Mr. Huang.  Zhang Xinghan shouted to the back. "Commander, what are your orders?"  "Huang Xiansheng hurriedly stepped forward. "Immediately transfer a few battalions to help unload the goods. In addition, prepare more trucks.  " Zhang Xinghan ordered. "Yes, I will arrange it right away.  "Huang Xiansheng saluted and took the order to leave. "Not long after, about two or three battalions of troops and gendarmerie police drove a large number of trucks and rushed to the dock. Alice's fleet itself was equipped with a large number of boatmen, and both parties worked together to start  Pieces of brand new equipment and machines were moved off the cargo ship and loaded into trucks. The busy officers, soldiers and boatmen were like a colony of ants moving things Dalian City, 200th Division.  Zhang Xinghan frowned at the map and thought, where should the fertilizer plant and brewery be built? If we only look at transportation and transportation, then Dalian and Jinzhou are undoubtedly the most suitable. But right now.  Zhang Xinghan has deeper and longer-term concerns. Although coastal cities such as Dalian and Jinzhou are the most suitable locations, they are also the most dangerous areas. If a war breaks out, Zhang Xinghan himself will bear the brunt.  The national industry that was finally established is likely to be destroyed. Even if there is no war, these areas are easily infiltrated and destroyed by enemy agents. Alice came over at this time. She had been busy for a day and had just gone to take a shower.  I just took a shower and walked over with a faint fragrance. "Xinghan, what are you thinking about?"  "Alice's voice is as beautiful as nature's, especially speaking Chinese with a bit of Western flavor, which is quite interesting. Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the voice and was stunned. It was May, and the weather in the Northeast was already very warm.  Alice wears very little, and the tempting peaks on her chest are fully highlighted. Her fair skin, slender legs, and perky buttocks outline a seductive picture that will make any man's blood swell.  Gudu, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but swallowed, his eyes were staring at Alice's breasts that were rising and falling with her breathing, and she couldn't bear to look away. Seeing Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but be attracted to her body, Alice felt a rush in her heart.  Pride is the pride of every woman to be able to attract the man she likes. She did not turn around and run away shyly, but waved her little hand in front of Zhang Xinghan and said, "Hey, what are you looking at?  "    "ah?  "Zhang Xinghan was startled when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses. Thinking of how he was like a pig just now, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but blush. Damn it, when did my immunity to beauty drop so much? It seems like he himself  There has never been any immunity to women, but this is just a natural reaction of men to beautiful aliens. It is a desire to appreciate the perfect female body, not the kind of love or love that is invested in emotions.  It's nothing, Alice, you are really beautiful today. Whoever marries you in the future will be lucky.  "Zhang Xinghan laughed. "Really?  "Alice seemed to notice the evasion and panic in Zhang Xinghan's eyes. She leaned down, faced Zhang Xinghan at close range and said to him breathlessly: "Do you want to marry me?  " Due to the angle, her neckline was open, and Zhang Xinghan could have a clear view of the snow-white inside. Breathing in the alluring body fragrance, Zhang Xinghan's breathing became a little rapid, and his body reacted unexpectedly. But his reason tried his best to restrain himself.  , he didn’t want to feel sorry for his wife, especially since she was still pregnant with his child. But it might also be because Wang Ruoying was pregnant, and he was unable to vent the accumulated lust this time when he returned to Jilin, so this was like a flood.  The strong desire was constantly attacking his reason. The younger brother reacted in an astonishing manner, "Alice, what are you talking about? I'm already married and have a wife.  "Zhang Xinghan tried his best to restrain the raging fire of lust and said. "I know, I don't care. Aren't all your Chinese men allowed to have three wives and four concubines?  "Alice said stubbornly and firmly. "You don't care, I care. Zhang Xinghan complained endlessly, "With such a hot and attractive body in front of him, any normal man would have his heart beat faster and his ** soar. "  You westerners?Are they all about democracy, equality between men and women, and monogamy?  We are now in the Republic of China, and we also advocate monogamy and equality between men and women, so we cannot be together.  "Zhang Xinghan's breathing became a little rapid. "Really?  "Alice looked at him with charming eyes and looked down his upper body. Zhang Xinghan quickly supported her with both hands: "Alice, let's calm down today. We will discuss this issue tomorrow.  OK?  " Unexpectedly, one of Alice's little hands suddenly stretched out and grasped the tall little tent. Zhang Xinghan's mouth suddenly opened into an O shape. Then Alice opened his zipper and opened the lure.  The man’s little mouth buried his head “Oh!  !  !  ah!  "Zhang Xinghan only felt that he was wrapped in a warm feeling. As Lilac's uvula turned, countless pores spread out all over his body, and he couldn't help but cry out. The feeling is really beyond words. (Unfinished)  to be continued

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 309: The situation in the Yalu River suddenly changes

    "Oh, ah! Xinghan, I love you!" Sitting on Zhang Xinghan, Alice's delicate body twisted wildly, and she let out touching gasps with eyes blurred by lust.  After a long time, Zhang Xinghan was resting on the bed with his arms around the contented Alice as if he were mourning for his heir.  There is still a flush on Alice’s face that has not completely dissipated. During the love she just had, she reached the extreme several times, which shows how powerful Zhang Xinghan is.  But in the end, Zhang Xinghan was still defeated by her, and he gushed out and spread thousands of miles.  No matter what, there is really no man in this world who can truly defeat a woman.  ??The greatest victory is to allow a woman to reach her extreme.  "My dear, you seem unhappy?" Alice snuggled into his arms and whispered.  Zhang Xinghan felt bitter in his heart, mother, if you were raped, would you be happy?  He was still raped by a woman. Although the process felt pretty good, Zhang Xinghan felt aggrieved no matter what he thought. He was a great general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, but he was pushed back by a foreign girl.  Of course, the most uncomfortable thing for Zhang Xinghan was the feeling of guilt towards his wife after the feeling of relief. When he thought of Wang Ruoying's deep affection for him, Zhang Xinghan's feeling of guilt skyrocketed.  "Dear, why are you ignoring me?" Seeing that he was silent, Alice was a little confused. She looked up at him and saw the sadness on his face, and asked with concern: "Dear, what's wrong with you?  "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said, "No, I'm just a little tired. I want to take a rest." "I'm also very tired. Let's take a rest together. My dear, you are so strong."  I couldn't bear it several times and felt like I was going to die." Alice continued to lie on his strong chest.  Zhang Xinghan was about to cry but had no tears, and was very depressed. At this moment, Huang Xiansheng's voice sounded outside: "Commander, Commander. I have something important to report for my humble position." Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed, and quickly pulled his arm out from under Alice, and said to Alice  He said: "Alice, I have something to do. I have to go and get busy. You can rest first. You don't have to wait for me." After saying that, without waiting for Alice's consent, he got up and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran away.  Huang Xiansheng was waiting in the conference room, which was next to the crazy bedroom of Zhang Xinghan and the others. When he saw Zhang Xinghan walked out of it in a panic, his clothes were disheveled.  There was a clear smile in Huang Xiansheng's eyes.  He stood up and saluted as usual: "Commander." Zhang Xinghan was busy arranging his military uniform, buttoning his buttons, and asked: "Brother Jingzhong, why are you so anxious to find me?" "Commander, according to our deployment at the Yalu River border,  The sentry reported that the Japanese troops in Sinuiju were gathering on a large scale and there seemed to be signs of crossing the Yalu River." Huang Xiansheng put away his smile.  said solemnly.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan was also very surprised. He didn't even bother to tidy up his clothes. He turned around and hurried to the map and checked it.  Said: "What do you want to do?" Huang Xiansheng shook his head: "I don't know even though I am a humble official. According to your analysis and judgment, Commander, the little devil, like us, continues to rest and recuperate to restore military and national strength. How could he be here?"  At this time, take the initiative to gather troops to attack us and start a war? " "Water has no shape, and soldiers have no shape! Everything is possible," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, how should we respond?" Huang Xiansheng said worriedly: "If the Japanese are really determined to attack, our existing troops in southern Manchuria may be a little stretched. Our department is responsible for the defense of Dalian and other places.  . He is also responsible for the national border of the Yalu River. If he really wants to fight against the Japanese, he may not have enough troops. After all, Dalian is a strategically important place, and the Japanese have an amazingly powerful navy. They may land at any time to counterattack Lushun, so they must stay.  Only heavy defense is required." Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.  At this time, Guo Zhong walked in hurriedly, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, Shen Xingye has an urgent call." "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly raised his head and said, "What does the message say?" "Battle Commander Shen's report  "According to the top-secret intelligence obtained by our army's agents in South Manchuria, there are several unknown forces in South Manchuria who have repeatedly used radio stations to communicate with the Japanese," Guo Zhongdao said.  "Have you found the content of the contact?" Zhang Xinghan asked eagerly: "Could they be Japanese spies?" "These people are very cunning. My agents worked hard to catch a group of them. After  Surprise interrogation revealed that they were not Japanese spies, but affiliated with the Manchu Socialist Party.; has been lurking throughout the Northeast for a long time, always looking for opportunities to seek restoration of the country.  Some time ago, the tense food supply situation in our Northeast region was caused by them. While we were busy dealing with the Japanese and Lao Maozi, they secretly sent people to buy grain in various places to achieve their insidious purpose of unreliable people.  The most important thing is that some of the captured members of the Zongshe Party confessed that they had recently been ordered to frequently contact the Japanese. As for the specific purpose of the contact, they were not aware of it because they were not high enough.  "Guo Zhongdao. "Zongshe Party?  Huang Xiansheng was shocked when he heard this and said, "Weren't they eliminated and disbanded more than ten years ago?"  " Zhang Xinghan said: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. The Zongshe Party, the remnants of the former Qing Dynasty, will not be able to achieve anything without the support of external forces. The remaining evils that have been lurking for so many years may have disappeared long ago, and there will be no trace of them anymore.  Any possibility of chaos was gone.  However, once external forces intervene and provide massive support, it will not be difficult for them to revive.  " "Commander, you mean the Japanese?  "Huang Xiansheng said. "Obviously, the Zongshe Party had the support of the Japanese behind it, wooing the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to prevent the Chinese nation from realizing republican reunification.  Now that the situation in Northeast China has suddenly changed, they are once again supporting the Communist Party of China, which is expected.  "Zhang Xinghan said. "From this, I also suspect that the gathering of Japs on the east bank of the Yalu River is probably related to the remnants of the Socialist Party. I still remember what Wu Qingzhong once explained.  Their organization also carried out grain-harvesting operations in southern Manchuria, but we were unable to crack it down.  " Zhang Xinghan said. Huang Xiansheng suddenly realized: "Commander, what do you mean, the little Japs are not mobilized to attack us, but to obtain these grains?  "    "Um.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Food is more important than gold in these troubled times. For any country, an army will never be too much. Moreover, the devil's native land is barren and narrow, and the food output cannot meet the country's consumption.  need.  Most of them need to be imported or taken from Northeast my country and the Korean Peninsula.  , like us, they all need food, lots and lots of food. The amount of food that the Clan Socialist Party plunders and abducts in southern Manchuria will never be less than that in northern Manchuria.  So there is no reason for the Japanese to not want such a batch of grain.  " Huang Xiansheng nodded, admiring Zhang Xinghan, and asked: "Commander, what do you think we should do next?  Should we strengthen patrols and strictly block the Yalu River border to deny them the opportunity to transport food out?  "Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "No, this will definitely alert the enemy, and the Zongshe Party may hide again.  Moreover, there is another possibility that if the Japanese army gathers troops, if the situation changes, they may not only be used to support the Zongshe Party. They can completely cross the Yalu River and launch an attack into our hinterland, providing opportunities for the Zongshe Party to transport food.  , in this case, our army must mobilize its troops to fight the little devil.  Our current goal is food, not Japanese troops. The garrisons in various places have just completed their reorganization and are busy training new recruits to restore their combat effectiveness. If it is not necessary, try not to mobilize them as much as possible.  " "Then what do you mean, Commander?  " Huang Xiansheng asked again. " Use silence to stop!  "Zhang Xinghan said. "Use stillness to brake?  The border of the Yalu River is hundreds of miles away. If there is any negligence, the Manchu evildoers from the Zongshe Party may take advantage of the loophole.  "Huang Xiansheng said worriedly. "This matter still has to be left to the reconnaissance battalion. Sometimes, too many people may not be able to accomplish everything. Now that we have judged the enemy's intentions, the reconnaissance battalion has a goal and direction, so we can proceed  It's much easier when you get down.  This is also the reason why I spent a lot of money to establish and build the reconnaissance battalion. It is time for them to play their due role.  " "In addition, you immediately transfer the tank regiment of your 200th Division to the Dandong border. If the little devil's troops make any intrusion, I will immediately attack them head-on.  As for the Air Force, I will make arrangements.  "Zhang Xinghan did not forget to ask. "Yes!  "Huang Xiansheng responded loudly. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"  "A Japanese colonel shook hands cordially with Inukai Ichiro, the commander of the Japanese garrison stationed in Sinuiju. Inukai Ichiro held his saber in one hand, stretched out his other hand and said with a smile: "Sakaizumi-kun, I am also honored.  " After the greetings, Inukai Ichiro took the lead to get to the point and asked: "Sakazumi-kun, how many troops did you bring this time?  " Colonel Sakazumi said proudly: "The new commander attaches great importance to this trip.??, I have transferred a full force of a mixed brigade to my subordinates. What I brought is only a forward unit, and the main force of the brigade behind it will arrive soon.  "    "oh?  New commander?  "Since Inukai Ichiro is located on the border of Sinuiju, the information may not be very good. He looked at Colonel Sakazumi in confusion. Colonel Sakazumi understood what he meant and quickly explained: "Oh, that's it. The new commander has just arrived.  I have only been here for a few days, so I may not have had time to inform you, Mr. Inukai.  " "Oh, he is that general?  "Inukai Ichiro became more and more curious. How many days have he been here and he is already preparing to carry out such a big operation? This new commander is really courageous and capable. "He is General Okamura Neiji, the former deputy commander of the Kwantung Army Headquarters.  chief of staff!  "Osado Sakazumi. (To be continued.

    Inukai Ichiro was shocked when he heard this and said: "What? The new commander is actually His Excellency Okamura Neji?" "Yes." Colonel Sakaizumi nodded: "In view of General Okamura Neji's performance in previous battles  , the Ministry of War at the base camp specially requested the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor to appoint him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army's Korea Station, with full authority for all affairs of the Imperial Army in Korea. " Inukai Ichiro said with excitement: "Inukai has always been there.  I admire General Okamura very much. It is an honor for me to serve under his command this time. I believe that under the command of General Okamura, we will be able to restore the glory of the Imperial Army and return to Manchuria! ”?…  …………… Andong (Dandong) is located in the southeast of the Liaodong Peninsula, at the confluence of the Yalu River and the Yellow Sea. There is no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The average annual temperature is about 9 degrees Celsius. It is the warmest and humid place in Northeast China.  The troops stationed here belong to the 200th Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, with a total of two infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and several other arms, totaling about 2,000 people.  Today, the tank regiment directly under the 200th Division was ordered to enter Andong County, greatly strengthening Anton's defense strength.  On the streets in the county town, tanks and armored vehicles rumbling by can be seen everywhere, as well as groups of Northeastern Army infantrymen carrying guns.  " Two men in rich clothes walked hurriedly from west to east, looking around and behind them vigilantly from time to time. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Quite cautious.  In the crowd not far behind them, several agents of the reconnaissance battalion in ordinary clothes were already eyeing them.  To be precise, they have followed the two people in front of them, from Shenyang to Liaoyang, and from Liaoyang to Anton.  After a few twists and turns on the street, the two men mysteriously entered a courtyard.  The three agents who followed him looked at each other.  Immediately they split up.  After entering the courtyard, the two men were led to a secret room by a woman who looked like a maid.  "Have you had a smooth journey?" The person who spoke was a man in the secret room with a plain face and an unpure accent.  "Reporting to Mr. Sakaizumi, everything went well." One of the older men bowed his head respectfully.  "Has the route been set?" The man turned around and it was Colonel Sakazumi of the Japanese army who led troops to reinforce Sinuiju.  "Yes. Our president has personally planned the route. It is more convenient and safer to transport by water. It starts from the Fur River, the Hun River, and all the way down to the Yalu River. The imperial army only needs to meet at the Yalu River port.  In addition, in order to attract the attention of the Northeast Army border guards, our president hopes that the imperial army will open fire with them to cover our smuggling operation." Another man said.  "Hey Xi, our Commander Okamura Neiji has already made arrangements. You only need to be responsible for transporting the food to the Yalu River. The Imperial Army and Navy will naturally respond, and the rest will be handled by the Imperial Army." Colonel Sakazumi was pleased.  He nodded.  "That's good. That's good." The two members of the Socialist Party nodded repeatedly.  "You have worked hard all the way. I have prepared a reward for you two. Please enjoy it slowly." Colonel Sakaizumi clapped his hands, and several young women in kimonos walked out of the next room and walked to the two of them submissively and charmingly.  The meaning in Zong Shedang's eyes was clear to all men.  The two men obviously did not expect such benefits, and they looked excited.  He repeatedly said to Colonel Sakazumi: "Thank you, Mr. Sakazumi, thank you very much!" After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave with his arms around the kimono-clad women.  …………………… “Commander, the reconnaissance battalion has focused on several suspicious targets and is continuing to track and monitor them. I believe there will be clues soon.” The Dalian 200th Division Headquarters just got off the plane and rushed over.  Shen Xingye reported to Zhang Xinghanhui.  "I understand. You have to go all out to handle this matter. Even if we can't get this batch of food, we can't let it fall into the hands of little Japan. Of course. Unless it's a last resort, it's better to get this food back.  , After all, we are in urgent need now," Zhang Xinghan urged.  Shen Xingye nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." Immediately, he turned around and left.  "Brother Jingzhong, I'll leave Dalian to you. I'll go to Anton. If the little devils really dare to attack, I'll give them some trouble. After I leave, you have to find a way to organize manpower to bring Alice.  Load all the goods on the train and send them to Jilin as soon as possible." After Shen Xingye left, Zhang Xinghan turned to Huang Xiansheng and ordered.  "The commander plans to build a fertilizer factory and brewery in Jilin City?" Huang Xiansheng asked.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, after careful consideration, I decided to build a factory in Jilin. After all, Jilin is nowThe safety of the rear area and central hinterland of our base area is very guaranteed.  “ Moreover, Jilin City is close to the Songhua River, and railways and waterways are quite convenient. When development reaches a certain level in the future, we can continue to build branches in other urban areas.  " "Well, the commander is considering the long term and I agree.  "Huang Xiansheng nodded. ????????????? Farewell to Huang Xiansheng and others, Zhang Xinghan left Dalian with Guo Zhong and a group of guards, and took a car straight to Anton. Alice originally wanted to follow, but Zhang Xinghan was really disappointed at the moment  I didn’t know how to face her, so I asked her to follow the transportation team to transport the equipment and machines to Jilin on the grounds that I needed help in building a fertilizer plant and a brewery. Considering that these technicians from the UK were indeed unfamiliar with the place.  She also needed her own help, so Alice nodded and agreed to go north. Zhang Xinghan was relieved and quickly took the guards on the road. When Zhang Xinghan arrived near Anton, it was already two days later. Zhang Xinghan did not walk too much along the way.  Fast, but by the way, we studied the terrain, landforms and dangerous passes in the lower Liaodong area. If the Japanese army completes its rest and recuperation in the future, it will inevitably launch an aggressive attack on the Northeast again. Then it is unrealistic to resist the Japanese army on the Yalu River and the entire Liaodong.  Depth will be the main battlefield for the decisive battle with the Japanese aggressors, so Zhang Xinghan supplemented himself with relevant intelligence information in advance to be prepared. The remaining mountains of Changbai Mountain run north and south on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the mountains are clustered and winding, standing together.  Looking into the distance from the top of the mountain, he saw vast mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. The distant peaks were surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. Guo Zhong walked over with some haste and reported: "Commander, I just received a call from Shen Xingye. The target is here."  .  " Oh? Zhang Xinghan turned his head when he heard the sound and asked: "What's the specific situation?  How do they plan to transport grain out of the country?  Are there any movements by the Japanese on the other side?  " Guo Zhong replied: "According to the latest information we have, the Zongshe Party plans to transport grain from the Ful River, Hun River and other river basins, just like the last time in Northern Manchuria, they will all use waterways.  As for the little devils, in the past two days, they have increased their strength by thousands of people. Their actions are very strange. They cannot rule out the possibility of crossing the river to invade our territory.  "However, our 200th Division Tank Regiment and infantry battalions have increased their vigilance and increased the number and number of patrols.  " "Well, that's good. You call Shen Xingye right away and continue to monitor. Once you find a grain transport fleet, report it immediately. First, rob the grain, and then fight the Japanese!  Zhang Xinghan said: "Let brothers get in the car quickly, let's go to the city as soon as possible."  "    "yes.  " Guo Zhong accepted the order and left. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "  "Sakazumi Colonel said to Inukai Ichiro. "Sakazumi-kun, the Chinese air force can participate in the battle during the day. I suggest that the attack be carried out at night, which can reduce the casualties and losses of our army.  "Ichiro Inukai said. Colonel Sakaizumi nodded in agreement without hesitation: "The main purpose of our attack this time is to attack and disturb the enemy. It is easier for us to hide our whereabouts at night, so just do what you say, Inukai-kun.  "    "well.  " Inukai Ichiro nodded with a smile on his face. "That night, the night was like ink, and the evening breeze was blowing on the Yalu River. Except for a few animals and birds occasionally coming from the deep mountains and old forests, the silence was terrifying. Thirty miles downstream of the Sinuiju section of the Yalu River  The water flow here is smoother than that in the Sinuiju section. About a thousand Japs are crossing the river in batches by boat. The reason why the Japs choose to cross the river downstream is because the closer to the sea, the closer they are to the river.  A strong naval fleet can provide them with more firepower assistance. The Northeast Army's air force cannot pose a threat to the naval fleet in the dark, which is their best opportunity. Although the artillery hit rate of various naval ships will definitely decrease in the dark,  But as long as there is guidance from the ground army, it can still be regarded as a powerful fire support. On the river, dozens of small gunboats equipped with 70- and 40-mm rapid-fire guns from the Japanese naval fleet came upstream from the estuary and were cruising and patrolling near the river crossing point.  "Hurry up, cross the river quietly, don't shoot and make noise!  "A Japanese major held a saber in one hand and waved it with the other hand. "In the night, Japanese soldiers holding 38 rifles with bayonets mounted on the west bank one after another, and immediately began to assemble. Not far away from the Japanese army crossing the river assembly point  In a jungle not far away, two Northeastern Army sentries who were hiding changed their expressions after seeing this. One of them said: "Squad leader, the little Japs have certainly crossed the river, what should we do?  ?"One of our tank platoons is patrolling not far behind us. We will immediately send out a signal flare warning to inform them to come over and intercept Little Japan!" The other person was a squad leader, more assertive, and thought for a while.  "But, squad leader, we are so close to the Japanese. Once a signal flare is fired, we will definitely be exposed." The sentry said, looking at the Japanese soldiers who had gathered on the river bank not far away.  "There is no other way. Sacrificing the two of us in exchange for so many little Japanese devils is damn worth it. Otherwise, when they all come over and get into the old forest, it will not be so easy for our tank troops to intercept them.  "Yes." The squad leader said, "Give me the signal gun." PS: There will be six updates today. This is the first update. There will be five more updates, so stay tuned.  In addition, I would like to thank everyone for their monthly tickets and the Tianhai Xiangyun leader’s 10,000 rewards. Yesterday during the day, I was called by my father-in-law to help at his house, so there were only two updates last night.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 311: Operation of Stealing Food (2) Second Update

    The soldier took out a signal pistol from his body and handed it to the squad leader. After the squad leader took it, he whispered to the soldier: "Brother, let's sing the military song twice before becoming a benevolent man." "Yes." The soldier nodded and lowered his voice.  The song began to sing, and the squad leader also harmonized softly: "The long sword points directly to the northern land, the setting sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south; "The hunting flag, the war drum summoning the eastward march, the long yellow sand, blocking the way  The footsteps of the Western Expedition cannot be stopped; China has many strong men since ancient times, who can be killed but not humiliated The voices of the two men were soft, but a tragic and heavy feeling emerged.  Amid the singing, a red flare rose into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.  In the dark night, the light emitted by the red signal flare is extremely dazzling and dazzling.  The sudden change shocked the hundreds of Japs who had gathered. Almost subconsciously, the Japs soldiers rushed towards them one after another.  Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to have both ways since ancient times. I bid farewell to my parents with tears. The whole family is loyal and loyal to the generals of the Yang family. They serve the country with loyalty and loyalty. Yue Wumu, so!  Towards!  none!  enemy!  The Han army is mighty!  Now that the Japs have discovered them, the two Northeastern Army sentries no longer suppressed themselves. They sang angrily and at the same time opened fire violently at the Japs crowd within a hundred meters.  The two Garand rifles opened fire one after another, and their intensity of firepower was no less than that of a crooked light machine gun.  The Japanese soldiers who were encircling them suddenly fell down several in succession.  The Japanese major who had just crossed the river knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. He was furious. He pulled out his command knife and waved forward: "Kill Gaga!" Hundreds of Japanese soldiers immediately dispersed and rushed towards the hiding place of the two sentries.  The light and heavy machine guns were quickly set up and fire suppression began.  "Suddenly, snoring, slap " The dense bullets whistled, and the two sentrys or soil and stones were splattered.  Blades of grass are flying.  "Little devil, grandpa gives you a grenade!" The soldier pulled the fuse and threw a sizzling and smoking grenade over.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, a red light flashed, and a huge explosion.  At least three Japs were blown up and fell down screaming.  Seeing that the enemy's firepower was not strong, more than a dozen of his own men had been killed, and the casualties were still increasing sharply.  The Japanese Major was furious. He waved his command knife repeatedly and roared: "Mortars, grenadiers. Bombard them and kill them!" A 60mm mortar that had just been transported with the troops was quickly set up, and at the same time two grenadiers were set up.  Grenadiers also came quickly with grenade launchers.  "Boom, boom, boom" The muffled sound of several cannons being ejected from the chamber suddenly sounded.  Amidst the harsh whistling sound, several grenades fell into the hiding place of two Northeastern Army sentries.  "Boomboom" Several deafening explosions burst into dazzling fire.  When a group of Japanese soldiers rushed up with rifles and wasting bullets.  The two Northeastern officers and soldiers were gone, leaving only two semi-automatic rifles and a bayonet that had been blown out of shape.  ???………………Anton.  Zhang Xinghan's newly established Anton Frontier Command.  Guo Zhong hurried over with a telegram in hand and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, I have just received a report from the Third Company of the Tank Regiment. About fifteen kilometers downstream of the Sinuiju section, traces of Japanese troops crossing the river were found. Our sentry sent out a signal flare.  "Fifteen kilometers?" Zhang Xinghan spit out the newly lit cigarette after hearing this.  He hurriedly turned around and walked to the map, pointed at the map and looked at it and said, "It's right here, in the direction of Anmin Village?" "Yes, it's right there. A tank platoon from the third company is patrolling nearby. They have rushed there after hearing the news.  Yeah, it's very likely that he's already on fire with the Japanese." Guo Zhong nodded.  "Have you figured out how many of the enemy are here?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "We don't know yet, but we can ask the Third Company of the Tank Regiment and ask them to report back quickly." Guo Zhong said.  "Get in touch with the Third Company immediately, and be sure to find out the enemy's strength crossing the river in the Anmin Village area." Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong quickly accepted the order and left.  It didn’t take long for the conference to come back.  "Commander, the third company reports that the Japanese troops are around a full brigade. Their first platoon is fighting fiercely with the Japanese. Company commander Sun Lizheng is leading the other two platoons to rush for reinforcements." "A brigade?" Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully after hearing this:  "According to intelligence, the number of Japs in Sinuiju has increased to at least 10,000, which is only one-tenth of their strength." "Commander, what do you mean?Are the Japanese attacking in the east and in the west?  "Guo Zhongdao. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, Anmin Village is only a dozen kilometers away from us, and the Zongshe Party transports food from the Hunjiang River. The Japanese did not attack upstream, but chose to attack here. Their intention  Obviously, it must be to deceive others and attract the attention of our army, so as to support the Zongshe Party's food transportation.  " "Then what should we do?  "Guo Zhong asked. "Tell the Third Company that the Japs do not have portable weapons capable of destroying our tanks at this stage. Their mission is to stop these more than a thousand Japs and kill the enemy as much as possible. I will not send reinforcements to them before dawn.  , but I will never allow any Japs to threaten Anton’s flanks from Anmin Village!  "Zhang Xinghan immediately decided to take the host route. After Guo Zhong took note of it, he asked: "Commander, can the Zongshe Party's grain transport team still be intercepted?  " "Intercept, of course we must intercept, and we must not let the Zongshe Party's grain transport team enter the Yalu River.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "But, Commander, the Japs on the opposite side still have nearly three or four regiments of troops. Our troops in Anton are not enough, and we have to spare manpower to intercept the Zongshe Party's grain transport team. This troop strength is really stretched.  ah.  "Guo Zhong said with a worried look: "Moreover, if the Japanese follow the example of Anmin Village and cross the river in separate routes to disperse our troops, the situation may be even worse.  " Zhang Xinghan said: "That's why I brought the tank regiment. You immediately send me an order. Each company and platoon of the tank regiment immediately patrols along the Yalu River in the north and south directions from the center of Andong. We must ensure the safety of the Yalu River defense line within 30 kilometers.  , further north, even if the Japs crossed the Yalu River, they would still be blocked by the Hun River and the Ful River, and the distance was far away. As soon as the sky dawned, the Japs' whereabouts would be exposed, and our air force could take off at any time, which was of little significance.  Therefore, we only need to ensure the safety and security within 30 kilometers along the river on both sides of Andong. Of course, there should be no more Japanese sneaks in the area south of Andong. The firepower of two tanks is enough to block a section of the river.  We have over a hundred tanks and armored vehicles.  Patrolling back and forth to guard a range of thirty or forty kilometers is enough.  As for the infantry battalions and companies in the city, they will defend Anton with all their strength and hold on until dawn tomorrow. Everything will be safe.  " "Commander, what about the manpower who robbed the grain?  "Guo Zhong asked. "It's enough for you and me to bring all the guards, plus the cooperation of people from the reconnaissance battalion.  Zhao Long has already led no less than two companies of agents to ambush near the confluence of the Ful River and the Hun River, just waiting for us to go and rendezvous.  " Zhang Xinghan said. Guo Zhong nodded immediately after hearing this: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away.  " "Wait a minute, you have to tell the tank regiment that it needs to pay attention. The patrol unit must not go too far north, so as not to arouse the enemy's suspicion and cancel the food transportation operation.  We want both the Japs and the Communist Party to think that we are all attracted by the Japs in Sinuiju. The mobilization of troops and horses is all to prepare for the possible attack by the Japanese army in Sinuiju. We don’t know that they will transport food by water.  "    "yes!  " After Guo Zhong left, Zhang Xinghan began to pack his equipment, a helmet, a pistol, a submachine gun, and a pair of white gloves. Guo Zhong quickly conveyed the order, gathered all the guards, and waited in the courtyard.  This time, there was only one platoon of guards following Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong to Anton. It was not that Zhang Xinghan did not want to take more. At that time, when taking a flight from Jilin to Dalian, a C-47 could carry at most one platoon of personnel, and Zhang Xinghan did not expect it.  Something suddenly happened when we arrived at the Yalu River border. However, the guards in this platoon were all the most elite soldiers in the guard camp. They were well-equipped and very skilled. In a real fight, it would be easy to defeat ten of them one by one, not to mention there were one or two hundred of them.  It was enough for the agents to intercept and kill the remnants of the Zongshe Party. Seeing Zhang Xinghan walking out in military uniform and holding a submachine gun, more than 30 guards stood up and saluted: "Commander, the guard platoon has been assembled and can be used at any time.  Let's go, please give us your instructions!  " Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "Time is pressing, so I won't say more, let's set off immediately!  "For an elite unit like the Guard Battalion, which has already dedicated its soul to himself, Zhang Xinghan knew that he didn't need to say anything more. "Yes!  "The guard soldiers carried submachine guns and drove out of the yard with neat steps and boarded the military vehicles that had been prepared. Zhang Xinghan was the last one to get on the bus. After he got on the bus, two military trucks started one after another, one after another.  Then he slowly drove away from Andong, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the night after leaving the city. At the same time, there was a dense patch of wild grass on the south bank of the intersection of the Ful River and the Hun River.  in these.The well-known weeds can grow as tall as a person, and no one can see them if they squat inside during the day, let alone at night.  "Deputy, brothers are ready. The scouts are ten miles away from us, and the brothers on the other side are already in place, waiting for the target to appear." An agent leader reported to Zhao Long, who was in charge of leading the team.  "Are the ships ready?" Zhao Long asked.  "Everything is ready. They are several motor-driven sailboats, which are much faster than ordinary fishing boats." The leader said.  Zhao Long did not speak but nodded with satisfaction.  ‘ ‘ At this moment, an agent carrying a radio on his back walked over.  "Deputy Commander, we received an urgent call from the Commander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief is leading his guards to meet us." "Chief Commander?" "Yes." "Call back to the Commander-in-Chief immediately and inform us of our current location and situation."  Zhao Long thought for a while and ordered.  "Yes." The agent responded and stepped aside to generate electricity.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 312: Fire Interception

    About three hours later, at around 11 p.m., Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong led the guard platoon and arrived at the Qingshigou area in Kuandian County along the official road.  The Hun River meanders through here, and it is the only place to pass along the way to the Yalu River.  Zhao Long and his men were ambushing here on both sides of the bank.  As soon as the car turned off, several people ran out of the sea of ??grass in front of the light. The leader said excitedly: "Commander, you are here!" Zhang Xinghan saw Zhao Long at a glance, and walked towards it with Guo Zhong.  After saluting each other, Zhao Long said: "Commander, you are so fast." Zhang Xinghan smiled and asked: "How is it? Has the target appeared?" Zhao Long shook his head and said: "We arrived here just after dark.  They have been lying in wait for four or five hours, but there is no trace of the Zongshe Party’s food transport team. “Will they change the food transport route and take other waterways?” Guo Zhong asked.  Zhao Long explained: "Absolutely not. Other rivers have extremely small flows and limited lengths. It is impossible to transport grain on a large scale. From the perspective of length and geographical location, the Hun River is their only choice." After listening to Zhao  Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement with Long's analysis.  The group of people soon came to the grass on the river bank.  "Commander, there is something I can't figure out about my humble position." Zhao Long asked after finding a place to sit down.  Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and said, "Tell me." "This socialist party and the Japs conspired to transport grain. The purpose of taking the water route should be to go through the Hun River and Yalu River, or unload the ships on the east coast and transport it overland to Goryeo.  , or go directly to the sea through the Yalu River, and have the navy ships pick up the food. But the former is too risky and may be discovered and destroyed by our army at any time, so their purpose should be to go into the sea through the Yalu River. But in this way, the Japanese are not afraid of being discovered by our army.  , send troops to intercept? And now that the Japs and we are engaged in fierce fighting in the Andong area, their chance of transporting grain across the Yalu River is gone. Therefore, I wonder if the Zongshe Party will not come, or it will.  They should take other routes, such as the Liaohe River entering the Bohai Sea. " Zhang Xinghan smiled lightly and asked Guo Zhong to bring a marching map and spread it on the ground. He waved to the two of them and said, "Come over and take a look at this map between our Northeast and China.  The military map of the Korean Peninsula can be seen at a glance." Guo Zhong and Zhao Long came over and squatted down.  After looking at the map, he didn't see any clues. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xinghan in confusion.  Zhang Xinghan smiled, pointed at the map, and said: "Look, this is the Hun River, which flows into the Yalu River from here. There is also a river connected with the Yalu River more than 70 kilometers upstream along the Yalu River." Zhao Long and Guo  The two Zhongs followed Zhang Xinghan's hand and saw a few small words next to the light blue marking line.  Suddenly he realized: "Tumen River?" "Yes. It's the Tumen River. As long as the Zongshe Party and their grain-carrying ships sail upstream, enter the Tumen River, and enter the Koryo Peninsula. Everything will be solved.  It flows into the sea and can also be unloaded in the hinterland of the peninsula," Zhang Xinghan said.  "No wonder, I thought these bastards haven't appeared yet. Maybe they won't appear again. It seems that the time has not come yet, and they really can keep their composure." Zhao Long said with a sudden look on his face.  They waited for about two more hours, during which time telegrams were sent from Anton.  Report the latest developments of the situation in Anton to Zhang Xinghan in a timely manner.  , As Zhang Xinghan expected, the Japanese's forced crossing in Anmin Village in the middle of the night was just a prelude, just attacking in the east and attacking in the west.  While Zhang Xinghan was rushing to rendezvous with Zhao Long, the Japanese organized two more batches of brigade-level forced crossings.  After 12 o'clock in the morning, the main force was mobilized and directly launched a fierce frontal attack on Anton.  The soldiers and civilians of Anton fought to the death and fought back resolutely. Fortunately, relying on the natural danger of the Yalu River, everything was safe.  This made Zhang Xinghan feel a little relieved, and he continued to wait calmly for the appearance of the Zongshe Party.  Around one o'clock in the morning, an elite agent acting as a scout came running out of breath.  "Sir, a large number of ships are arriving from ten miles away, numbering in the hundreds." After listening to the agent's report, Zhang Xinghan and others looked shocked, and then became a little worried.  Zhao Long was the first to speak: "Commander, there are many ships on the other side, and there must be not too few people accompanying them to escort them. I'm afraid our troops are not enough!" However, Zhang Xinghan smiled very calmly: "Don't be anxious, the Zongshe Party is transporting food.  Fleet, assemble it.Transaction, if you want to retreat quietly, it will not be that simple.  So when they appear later, we will give them a head-on attack, and then send people to attack their tail boat. There are hundreds of boats, almost occupying the entire river. It is difficult to turn around and escape. As long as both ends are blocked by us, they will  It became a turtle in a urn, and was eliminated ship by ship.  " "The commander is wise!  "Zhao Long said fiercely. "Okay, Zhao Long, you can take people to outflank them. I will lead the guard platoon and the brothers on the other side to intercept them. Remember, you must control the two ships at the front and back for me.  " Zhang Xinghan ordered. "Yes!  "Zhao Long stood upright and immediately took the order and left. After Zhao Long led the people away, Zhang Xinghan picked up his submachine gun, opened the safety and pulled the bolt, and said solemnly: "Brothers, prepare to fight!  "    "yes!  "Dozens of guards officers and soldiers responded loudly, and began to check weapons and make preparations for war. A few minutes later, Zhang Xinghan led the guard platoon behind the earth col on the river bank, waiting quietly for the arrival of the Zongshe Party ship. "The dark night  Down below, the Hunjiang River was quiet, except for the sound of rushing water. Behind the col, the guards' submachine guns were all pointed at the river. Everyone was very calm, and there was no trace of nervousness or tension on their faces.  Excited. They are all elite veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. Marching and fighting have almost become their instinct. The longer they stay in such a silent environment, the more their willpower will be tested.  After half an hour, the water surface began to fluctuate, and the roar of the engine could be heard vaguely.  "Guo Zhong refreshed and reminded. "For the sake of confidentiality, the Zongshe Party's ships did not turn on the lights. They could only sail under the guidance of the lead ship based on their feelings. In addition, the ships themselves were full of food and carried a large load.  Therefore, the speed was very slow. The place where Zhang Xinghan and the others were hiding was less than fifty meters away from the water. The grain transport ship passed in front of them and was just within the effective range of the submachine gun. Seeing that the first lead ship had entered the shooting range, Zhang Xinghan gritted his teeth.  He yelled: "Open fire.  " His men kept on pulling the trigger decisively. The submachine gun in his hand suddenly let out a roaring roar, and a burst of bullets flew towards the grain ship like glowing locusts. As soon as Zhang Xinghan's gunshot rang out, dozens of guardsmen opened fire one after another, densely.  Bullets poured in like a swarm on the No. 1 grain transport ship, which was a wood-and-iron cargo ship. Several men carrying rifles stood on the deck and were suddenly attacked by dense bullets.  The minions screamed and fell after being shot. At the same time, the agents in ambush on the other side also opened fire. Gunfire broke out on both sides of the Hun River, and bullets shot out from the muzzles like tongues of fire in the dark night.  The grain-carrying ships on the river were very spectacular when viewed from a distance. The first grain-carrying ship was ambushed, and the entire fleet of more than a thousand boatmen and members of the Clan Socialist Party were in chaos, especially the first and second ships.  On several ships that were closer to the firing site, members of the Zongshe Party ran out in a panic with their guns in hand. But before they could reach their opponents, they were shot to pieces by a heavy rain of bullets.  Groups of people fell one after another. While the fierce battle was still going on, a group of agents left behind by Zhao Long came from the front in small motorboats prepared in advance and flew toward the food transport fleet in a panic.  The Zongshe Party couldn’t take care of so much. A dozen agents armed with submachine guns and machine guns successfully approached the grain ship by boat. “Hit me hard.  Covering fire!  "Zhang Xinghan shouted hurriedly when he saw this. The officers and soldiers fired at the first and even the second grain ship with full firepower. The dense bullets had riddled the hull with holes, bullet scars and devastation. More than a dozen agents successfully escaped  We boarded the first grain ship and quickly broke into the cabin, eliminating the few remnants of the Clan who were hiding inside and did not dare to come out. Less than twenty minutes after the battle on the first grain ship,  They were controlled by Zhang Xinghan and others. On a larger grain ship in the middle, a middle-aged man in his forties was alarmed by the gunshots coming from the front. His face changed and he ran out of the cabin. The guards guarding outside had already been alarmed.  .    "what happened?  "The middle-aged man looked a little panicked and asked loudly. The guards didn't know what was happening in front and could not answer. Not long after, accurate news came from the grain ship in front. A panic-looking member of the Zongshe Party came to the middle-aged man  In front of him, he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "QiuYour Majesty, there is an ambush by the Northeastern Army ahead. The first grain ship has been captured by them. Our people are currently fighting with them. The situation is very bad.  "    "What?  "The face of the middle-aged man who was called the Crown Prince changed drastically. At this time, another petite woman walked out of the cabin. She was wearing a military uniform, with fair skin. At first glance, she looked dashing and handsome, but she  The foxy look inadvertently revealed in her eyes greatly detracted from her outfit. “Brother, don’t panic!  "The woman said loudly. "Yangzi, what can you do?  Our whereabouts were exposed and we were ambushed!  "The middle-aged man asked hurriedly. "Your Majesty, there is an ambush ahead, or should we turn around quickly?  "The man who came to report the news said. Unexpectedly, the woman named Yoshiko shouted sharply: "Shut up. Since the enemy is prepared, how can he just ambush in front?  How can I allow you to turn around and run away again?  Besides, so many ships want to turn around in a short time, do you think it is possible?  "The person who reported the news suddenly fell silent and lowered his head in silence. The middle-aged man became even more anxious and said: "Oh, my good sister, please tell me quickly, what should we do?  "(To be continued

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 313: Seizing the Grain Ship (Additional update for the 120th monthly ticket)

    This middle-aged man called the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the former Qing Dynasty Prince Shanqi, named Aixinjueluo Xian Zhang. Since his father died, Xian Zhang conspired with some remnants of the Clan Socialist Party and the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to reorganize  Zongshe Party, restore the ancestral foundation.  And the young woman named Yoshiko who called him eldest brother was none other than Aixinjueluo Xianjue, who was adopted by Shanqi to Kawashima Solami when she was young. She was also the notorious Japanese female agent Jin Bihui in history.  Japanese name Kawashima Yoshiko.  Before the September 18th Incident, Yoshiko Kawashima was ordered by her Japanese father to come to China to contact the remnants of the Clan Socialist Party, including her eldest brother, and other Manchu remnants, so as to create support for the Empire of Japan to attack Manchuria and Mongolia in the future.  The two sides had the same affinity and hit it off immediately. With the help of the Japanese, the Zongsha Party headed by Charter revived and developed extremely fast.  In just a few years, it has grown to an unprecedented scale, with members spread across the three northeastern provinces.  Of course, the reason why the Zongshe Party was able to develop so fast, apart from the strong financial and material support from the Japanese, was also due to the fact that Northeast China was the place where the Manchu Qing Dynasty started.  Although the majority of people love peace and support national unity.  However, there is always a small group of people who conspire and instigate, dream of restoration, and continue to dream of their emperor and slaves.  Therefore, the Zongshe Party has the soil for survival and is developing at an alarming rate. Although it cannot compete with Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army by force, it can still do it secretly by using some means to cause destruction.  The food crisis in the northeastern region is the best manifestation of their capabilities. However, the failure in the northern Manchuria region gave them a big blow.  With the end of the Rehe battle, Kawashima Yoshiko, Xian Zhang and others expected.  When foreign aggression is temporarily suspended, Zhang Xinghan will definitely start to improve the public security in the Northeast. Their development in the Northeast will be difficult. In order to avoid falling into this passive situation of being beaten, they have to obtain the consent of the Japanese father.  They began to plan how to transport grain out of the country, to North Korea and even Japan.  In addition, after Zhang Xinghan returned from Rehe, he launched an unprecedented and large-scale bandit suppression operation throughout the entire Northeast, which further stimulated their determination to leave immediately.  It just so happened that Neji Okamura took over as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea. This is a guy who is unwilling to be lonely.  Especially when Nanman suffered heavy losses in several encounters with Zhang Xinghan.  It is even more willing to create some trouble for Zhang Xinghan and hinder the recuperation and recuperation of the Northeast region.  What’s more, this time the Zongshe Party even obtained millions of kilograms of food. The Japanese have never had enough food. To kill two birds with one stone, Okamura Neiji had no reason not to do it.  It can also be regarded as the first of the three fires of his new official appointment.  Seeing the charter, he looked anxious.  Yoshiko Kawashima couldn't help feeling contemptuous of you because you didn't have the air of a general at all. With your virtue, you still want to restore the Manchu empire?  Just dream.  The two of them were not born from the same mother. They have thirty-six brothers and sisters. What's more, Yoshiko Kawashima was adopted to the Japanese when she was a child. She was very concerned about her half-brother and the Aixinjueluo family.  There is no family affection at all.  "Calling him big brother is also for the sake of the empire's overall plan."  Although I disdain the performance of Charter in my heart.  But Yoshiko Kawashima also knew that now was not the time to care about this, and immediately said: "The only way out now is to blow up the first grain ship, and then break through the enemy's blockade at all costs and sail at full speed. As long as we enter the Yalu River, we will  We can go upstream and enter Korea, then we will be safe." "Blow up the grain ship?" Charter was a little confused and didn't know what to do.  "Yes. Organize the manpower and blow up the first grain ship for me, and then all the grain ships will move forward at full speed!" Yoshiko Kawashima said decisively.  Before the charter could be decided, gunfire suddenly erupted from behind the fleet.  The shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire were heard at the same time.  Kawashima Yoshiko and others turned around when they heard the sound, only to see that the fire was already blazing behind them. In the dark night, the fire was clearly visible for dozens of miles away.  Everyone's face was extremely pale, and everyone looked at the charter and Kawashima Yoshiko, admiring Kawashima Yoshiko's foresight just now.  "Brother, without further ado, give the order quickly. The loss of some grain ships is inevitable. As long as we can take away most of the grain ships, it will be good." Yoshiko Kawashima was stunned when she saw the charter, and urged her angrily.  "Tie Li!" Xian Zhang came to his senses and shouted to the person who reported the news.  "It's my humble duty!" Tie Li responded respectfully.  “Organize manpower immediately and blow up the first grain ship for me!” Xian Zhangzhang said sternly.  "Yes! I will personally lead the people up here." Tie Li is a descendant of Tie Liang, a die-hard member of the Zongshe Party, and he is quite skilled.  RanBefore Tieli could get off the boat and leave, a young man got on the boat with a panicked expression, rolled over and shouted like a mourning concubine: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the second grain ship has also been captured by the enemy."  "Brothers suffered heavy casualties." "Damn it, a bunch of trash!" Hearing this, Xian Zhang was furious and shouted to Tie Li, "Tie Li, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and blow up all the abandoned ships?"  !” “Yes!” Tie Li did not dare to neglect and quickly took the order and left.  At the front of the fleet, the dozen or so agents who were the first to attack the grain ship had already captured the second grain ship, which also suffered heavy losses, by virtue of their powerful firepower, skillful cooperation, and super individual combat capabilities.  On the shore, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong also took their men on two small motorboats and boarded the first grain ship to provide fire support for more than a dozen agents.  "Commander, you stay, I will lead the men up." Guo Zhong saw Zhang Xinghan jumping towards the second grain ship and hurriedly grabbed him.  Due to the sudden attack, the ships behind the Zongshe Party were unable to brake suddenly and basically collided head to tail. This also provided great convenience for the agents of the Northeast Army to seize the ships.  Hundreds of large and small cargo ships and fishing boats were connected together to form a boat road, which soon became a battlefield for fierce fighting.  "Let me go. Time is running out. Attack forward quickly. Before they can organize a counterattack, defeat them in one go!" Zhang Xinghan broke free from Guo Zhong and jumped onto the deck of the second grain ship with a submachine gun.  Guo Zhong had no choice but to jump in with the guard platoon and join the attack on the third ship.  At the same time, the agents on the north bank also took prepared boats and rushed towards the stagnant fleet on the river.  They did not attack the third and fourth ships, but directly inserted themselves near the sixth and seventh grain ships, and launched a surprise attack on three grain ships at the same time.  The members of the Clan Socialist Party on the sixth-class ship were all attracted by the battle ahead, and some even crossed over to the fifth and fourth ships to support the third ship.  Dozens of agents from the north shore suddenly came to kill them. The few Communist Party members on the ship were fired into a hornet's nest with submachine guns as soon as they came face to face with them. In the end, the agents easily captured three grain ships.  The three grain ships, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5, suddenly became alone.  Under the double attack of agents and guards, dozens of CCP members on these three ships were quickly eliminated.  At this moment, Tieli arrived with hundreds of capable men. Several agents guarded the 8th grain ship and used the submachine guns in their hands to form a dense firepower net to resist them.  "Commander, the enemy has begun to counterattack, and our brothers are resisting desperately." An agent leader reported to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan put a new magazine on his submachine gun, pulled the bolt and said: "Continue to attack and defeat them, but remember, don't use grenades unless absolutely necessary! Food is the most important!" "Yes!" A group of agents and  The guards officers and soldiers responded loudly and rushed forward with guns in hand.  "Kill! Charge!" Tieli roared loudly, holding a crooked light machine gun used by the Japanese to assist them, and fired fiercely at the eighth agent who stubbornly blocked them.  "Click, click, click" The dense bullets hit the hull of the eighth ship like a gust of wind, and sawdust flew everywhere.  "Two agents were unfortunately hit by bullets and died on the spot. The remaining agents were holding submachine guns and shooting desperately.  But the members of the Zongshe Party, under the command of Tie Li, fell one after another, and they were about to attack.  At this moment, intensive gunshots suddenly rang out from behind the agents, and bullets flew in like glowing locusts.  The dozen or so socialist gangsters who were jumping over the bow of the ship and trying to board the eighth grain ship suddenly fell down like grass.  A few people near the boat fell directly into the river with a splash.  "Remnants of the Zongshe Party, surrender your guns and avoid death, surrender and avoid death, the Northeast New Army is here! Take a shot from your grandfather!" Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly in order to boost morale, and the submachine gun in his hand kept spraying tongues of fire.  Dozens of agents and guards behind him also followed suit and roared in unison: "Send your gun and avoid killing, surrender and avoid death!" The sound was so loud that it almost drowned out the dense gunfire.  With the participation of Zhang Xinghan and others, Tieli's counterattack force was instantly disintegrated. Tieli, who was the most vicious with a machine gun, was beaten alive by several agents with mg34 general-purpose machine guns. His whole body, including his head, could not be found.  Get a good piece of meat.  After Tieli’s death, the other remaining members of the Zongshe Party immediately dispersed and turned around and fled. Some people directly threw their guns and surrendered, and even worse, because the boat was crowded, they hidUnable to avoid it, in order to prevent being shot, he jumped out of the boat and jumped into the river to escape.  At the same time, at the rear of the fleet, Zhao Long and others also launched an attack from both sides of the Taiwan Strait with more than a hundred agents. They were large in number and the offensive was very fast. They quickly captured more than a dozen large ships in succession.  In the center of the fleet, Tie Li died in battle, and news of the failed counterattack reached Charter and Kawashima Yoshiko.  Seeing the gunshots getting closer and closer, Xian Zhang no longer had the identity of the Crown Prince, and pulled Kawashima Yoshiko's arm in an inconspicuous manner: "Sister, you are very smart, you must have a way, right? Come on, tell us, what should we do?  What to do? "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 314: Total Annihilation of the Zong Socialist Party

    A trace of disgust flashed in Yoshiko Kawashima's eyes, and she said with astonishing indifference: "Order to immediately burn down all the grain ships still under our control, and then abandon the ship and escape!" "What?" Xian Zhang was taken aback and looked back and forth.  The endless fleet and the bullets flying back and forth like meteors from both directions only intensified the anxiety and panic in his heart.  //High-speed update// "Sister, there are not only three million kilograms of grain in it, but also a large amount of property. This is the entire property of our Clan Socialist Party, and there are so many of our people, is this all?  All destroyed in one go? " Seeing that he is still not willing to give up these external things at this time, how can he be so generous?  Kawashima Yoshiko was even more disdainful of him, but she still said patiently, "A man can take things and let them go. Only when you give up can you gain something. Today's things cannot be done and cannot be saved by human power. If we don't destroy them all,  Brother, do you plan to give all this food and your life savings to Zhang Xinghan and the Northeastern Army who are sworn in with us? " Huh?  Hearing what Yoshiko Kawashima said, Xian Zhang's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xinghan sabotaged our operations in Northern Manchuria and killed many of us. I and him are sworn in!" "That's right, let's not proceed without further ado.  , give the order quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Kawashima Yoshiko patted the charter on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, when we arrive in Korea, I will recommend you to General Okamura Neiji, I guarantee it.  You are a master!" Xian Zhang nodded, and then issued the order to burn the boat and escape according to Kawashima Yoshiko's wishes. At the same time, he asked his wives to take as much gold and silver jewelry as possible and escape quickly.  With several guards and concubines, he and Kawashima Yoshiko took two small sampans and fled to the south bank.  When the order of the Charter was passed on, many of the Communist Party leaders were shocked.  Xun Xianzhang disappeared and learned that he had run away with his wife as his escort.  Coupled with the fact that Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Long were advancing separately, the offensive was rapid and critical. Except for a few members of the Clan Socialist Party who were loyal to the charter, they lit torches as ordered.  They began to burn the outside of the ship, and most of the others chose to surrender.  Of course, there were also many people who were attacked by the Northeastern Army before they had time to react and had to surrender.  Seeing several grain ships burst into flames, the fire spread quickly and was extremely dazzling in the dark night. Zhang Xinghan, who was leading the attack, was shocked.  He quickly ordered Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, give the order immediately and ask the boatmen and sailors who surrendered to sail the ship quickly and stay away from the burning grain ship to avoid disaster. Quick!" "Yes!" Guo Zhong immediately took some of the orders.  His life is gone.  Zhao Long also gained wisdom out of desperation.  The same arrangement was made, but there were hundreds of ships and the Northeast Army only had more than 200 people. It was not that simple to coordinate them at the same time, let alone something that could be done in a short time.  Seeing that the fire had started to spread due to the wind, and more and more grain ships were on fire, Zhang Xinghan felt a sudden chill in his heart.  Damn you, so much food is about to be obtained, do you want to burn it like this?  “Commander, it’s impossible, the fire is getting bigger and bigger.” Guo Zhong ran over with a gray face and an anxious expression.  Zhang Xinghan looked around and saw that in the light of the fire, many boatmen, sailors and surrendered members of the Zongshe Party were forced to jump off the ship to escape.  There were heads everywhere on the water.  At this moment, the sky suddenly became dense with dark clouds, and there was thunder and lightning in the dark night. In just a few minutes, it started to rain heavily.  The fire that was getting bigger and bigger just now was under such heavy rain.  Being suppressed by Shengsheng, the flames soon became smaller and smaller, until they were extinguished one after another.  Zhang Xinghan stood on a grain ship, letting the heavy rain soak him all over, with a smile on his face, and finally couldn't help shouting to the sky: "God help me! Hahaha!!" Soon, the fleet was on board  There were the cheers of the boatmen and sailors who had survived the disaster, as well as the indulgent shouts of the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon and the agents.  After dragging their families and fleeing to the shore, Charter and Kawashima Yoshiko, who had not gone very far, saw a sudden heavy rain. Their expressions changed dramatically. Kawashima Yoshiko's face turned blue and purple, and she was so angry that she could not speak.  However, Xianzhang followed his parents to death, and suddenly pointed at God and yelled: "Oh my God, what a thief, I'm going to kill you!" "Let's go quickly, stop talking so much nonsense." Yoshiko Kawashima  She looked at him with disgust, turned around and left.  "What are you doing?" Charter looked like an angry Spanish bullfight, his eyes red.  Kawashima Yoshiko noticed his anger, stopped and turned around: "After they find out that you have escaped, they will catch up soon. If you don't want to be caught and executed by them, then follow me quickly."Zhang was suddenly like a deflated rubber ball, and he fled like a zombie with the support of several guards and his wife.  "Zhao Long, ask the brothers to drive back the fleet immediately, and we will return to Tonghua." After Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed, he calmed down and ordered Zhao Long.  "Yes!" Zhao Long quickly stood up and responded, turned around and took the order to leave.  After Zhao Long took the order, Zhang Xinghan told Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, please immediately send electricity to the 201st Division stationed in Shenyang and order the division commander Zhao Zhenfan to quickly mobilize troops to Tonghua and organize labor to prepare to pick up and transport food!" "Yes!  !" After Guo Zhong gave a military salute, he also happily accepted the order.  Finally, Zhang Xinghan handed over the task of escorting the grain ship to Zhao Long and his agents, and he took the guard platoon off the ship, returned to the shore, and took a car to rush back to Anton overnight.  When Zhang Xinghan arrived at Anton, it was already dark. The remaining troops reported that the Japanese army had stopped attacking just as it was getting dark and hurriedly withdrew to the east bank.  After inspecting the defensive positions of the Anton garrison last night, there were corpses of soldiers from both sides everywhere. The entire battlefield was devastated and covered with craters. It was not difficult to see how brutal the fierce battle was last night.  Knowing that more than half of the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers guarding Anton were injured and more than a third killed in action, Zhang Xinghan was filled with anger and sent a telegram to Gao Zhihang, commander of the 3rd Air Force Division.  After receiving the order, Gao Zhihang did not dare to neglect, and immediately piloted the fighter plane himself. He led dozens of bombers and fighter jets to take off from Dalian, Shenyang and other airports, flew over Sinuiju, and carried out a violent and indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese military garrison.  Although the Japanese took refuge in air-raid bunkers and the real casualties were not large, they still let out a bad breath.  Seoul, the headquarters of the Japanese Army in Korea.  Lieutenant General Goro Sakurashita, the new Chief of Staff of the Army in Korea, walked into the office of Commander Neiji Okamura with a solemn expression in hand and a telegram in hand.  Okamura Neiji has just gotten up and is dealing with some military affairs.  "Sakura-kun, are you here? What's the matter?" Okamura Neji looked up at him and asked.  Yingxia Goro quickly put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency General, there is a call from Sinuiju. The Zongshe Party's grain transport fleet was ambushed by the Chinese army last night. All the grain ships fell into the hands of the Chinese and the Zongshe Party's entire army was annihilated!"  "Bagaya Road, these stupid and incompetent China pigs, a bunch of waste!" Okamura Neji suddenly became furious and slammed the table.  Then he asked: "How was the attack organized by the Sinuiju defenders last night?" Yingxia Goro said: "The enemy's defense is tight and tenacious. The imperial army's several offensive troops suffered heavy losses, especially just now, the Chinese air force  They launched a large-scale attack on our military base in Sinuiju, causing great damage and psychological shadow to the imperial army. "Baga!" Okamura Neiji was furious: "Damnable Chinese people, these  How could the news be so sharp? It seems that they have already known our action plan in advance! " "Your Excellency, I believe that this should be the role of the enemy's special forces!" Sakura said.  "Special Forces?" Neji Okamura suddenly remembered someone when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "By the way, isn't our spy flower Kawashima Yoshiko working with the Soja Party? Is there any news about her?" Sakurashita Goro  He shook his head slightly and said: "I only know that the Zongshe Party was ambushed by the Northeastern Army last night and was wiped out. But whether anyone escaped, I don't know the specific situation. But with Yoshiko Kawashima's skills and abilities,  "His intelligence will not fade away like this." "Yes." Okamura Neiji nodded and said, "Inform the frontline troops and ask her to come to Seoul to see me immediately if there is news."  Yi." Yingxia Goro quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left with his saber in hand.  ……………………… Two days later, in Andong County.  "Commander, Commander Zhao Zhenfan called and said that all the grain has been moved ashore. Due to the rain and dampness, the association is organizing tens of thousands of people in Tonghua to help dry it." Guo Zhong reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  "Oh? Have you figured out the specific quantity of this batch of grain?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "It's a full three million kilograms. Now the food in Tonghua County is almost piled up into a mountain. To ensure that nothing happens, Commander Zhao personally leads the troops directly under the regiment headquarters and an infantry regiment to take charge." Guo Zhong replied.  "Three million kilograms of grain, a job well done." Zhang Xinghan nodded happily and said, "Let them dry in the sun first to prevent mold and teeth. We will discuss how to deal with this batch of grain when we return to Jilin." "Commander, when will we return?  Jilin?" Guo Zhong asked.  “?We'll leave in the next day, and the tank regiment will stay behind to formally garrison Anton, just in case. Go and inform the brothers to prepare for the disembarkation.  "Zhang Xinghan said calmly. "Okay, I'll go right away.  "Guo Zhong accepted the order happily. "It's time to return to Jilin. I guess all our equipment should have been transported to Jilin. We must seize the time to build the fertilizer plant and strive to produce the first batch of fertilizer before the autumn planting.  I would also like to get a few experimental fields to test it. Once successful, it can be used on a large scale during spring plowing tomorrow.  "Zhang Xinghan seemed to be talking to himself. "Thinking that in the near future, the grain production in the Northeast region will reach an astonishing level, and his Northeast Army will no longer have to worry about food shortages, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help laughing proudly.

    Not long after, Guo Zhong had everything done and notified the security platoon to complete the assembly.  Zhang Xinghan left Anton with the police platoon, followed the railway line, and began to move towards Shenyang.  Shenyang also has an airport, and Zhang Xinghan wanted to see the three million kilograms of grain seized this time, so he went straight to Shenyang instead of Dalian.  After arriving in Shenyang, the 201st Division personnel had already prepared cars. After Zhang Xinghan and others took a short rest, they went straight to Tonghua.  When arriving in Tonghua, Zhao Zhenfan had already led a group of subordinates out of the city and waited for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan’s car arriving, Zhao Zhenfan and others quickly stepped forward to greet him.  Seeing this, Zhang Xinghan opened the door and got out of the car.  "Commander, you have worked hard all the way!" Zhao Zhenfan was the first to stand up and salute, and then extended his hand to shake hands with Zhang Xinghan.  "Haha, brother Guoping, long time no see." The two shook hands and exchanged greetings.  Zhao Zhenfan then accompanied Zhang Xinghan into the city. He saw that everyone in the city was busy drying food, and countless people were happy and enthusiastic to help.  "Brother Guoping, after the work is completed, we must give these people more grain as reward." Zhang Xinghan observed with emotion.  "Well, I think so too, and I was planning to ask you for instructions." Zhao Zhenfan nodded happily.  "These people are very simple and kind-hearted. If we are kind to them, they will be kind to us." Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully.  "Yes, in the past, in the Northeast, if the troops wanted to find work for the common people, they would either agree in advance and promise benefits, or they would forcibly capture strong men. But now, when the common people hear that our Northeast Army needs help, they all rush to  Participation, remuneration and the like were not even mentioned," Zhao Zhenfan also said with emotion.  "The people are the foundation of the country. In fact, our people don't ask for much. They just have three meals a day and food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment. It's so simple, but we can't give it to them. As a soldier, I feel really ashamed!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, don't belittle yourself. You have done much better than Marshal Zhang and Marshal Zhang. You have a kind heart that loves the people, and everything you do is for the country and the people. All our fellow villagers in the Northeast see this.  "Our Northeast Army is able to gain so much support from the people now, basically because of your prestige and good reputation." Zhao Zhenfan said.  "Alas, you can't say that. The situation in the Northeast is like this. The people were able to avoid becoming slaves to the country's subjugation. It was all thanks to the bloody battles of hundreds of thousands of Northeastern athletes. How can I just take credit for it?" Zhang Xinghan said.  Zhao Zhenfan smiled and said: "Commander, let's not dwell on this issue. The eyes of the masses are sharp. Whether you are the biggest contributor or not, it doesn't matter what I say, and it doesn't matter what you say. All the people in the Northeast have to worry about it."  It’s up to you, don’t you?” “Hahaha, you’re right, the people’s eyes are sharp!” Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily.  Accompanied by Zhao Zhenfan, Zhang Xinghan inspected hundreds of grain storage locations in Tonghua County.  On the way back, Zhang Xinghan was so happy that he couldn't help but said to Zhao Zhenfan and others: "Great, there are three million more kilograms of grain, and the summer harvest is coming soon. The people should be able to survive the winter smoothly and safely this year."  Well, Commander, I have already asked the cooking team to prepare the meals, please eat first," Zhao Zhenfan Sushou said.  "Is there wine? I haven't been so happy for a long time. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. There is no war. If there is wine, you and I will have a good fight today!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes, there is wine. That's great. Since I met you, Commander, we have never had a drink together alone." Zhao Zhenfan was also overjoyed.  Zhang Xinghan, Zhao Zhenfan and others were all drunk that day, so they stayed in Tongliao for one night and arrived in Shenyang by car the next day, then boarded a plane and flew to Jilin.  It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Jilin Airport.  Jiang Baili did not come to greet him in person, but arranged a vehicle, which surprised Zhang Xinghan.  "What did the chief of staff do?" Sitting in the car, Zhang Xinghan asked a staff officer who came to greet him.  "Reporting to the chief, the Chief of Staff, Minister Zang and Commander Wang Yizhe have all gone to the fertilizer plant for inspection." The staff officer replied respectfully.  "Has the fertilizer plant been built?" Zhang Xinghan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.  "Not yet, but the foreign technicians brought by Miss Alice have helped us select a suitable factory site. Construction started the day before yesterday and is currently under intense preparation." the consultant replied.  "Where is the factory?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  In Longtan Mountain, foreign technicians said that it is close to the mountains and close to the mountains.??, is an excellent location to build a fertilizer plant.  "The staff officer replied again. "Go to Longtan Mountain.  "Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed. "Yes.  "The staff officer who was driving happily responded and turned the car around. "" A very large open space at the northwest foot of Longtan Mountain has become a busy construction site. Hundreds of foreign workers and technicians and thousands of  The Chinese workers in charge were busy. Alice acted as the commentator and was accompanying Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi, Wang Yizhe and others to inspect. Jiang Baili and others had opened their eyes. They did not expect that this fertilizer factory was so magical, but at the same time.  , their admiration for Zhang Xinghan also increased. "The commander-in-chief is so powerful and knowledgeable. He even knows about products such as fertilizer plants that have not yet become popular in the West, and he has also introduced them to China. It is really amazing that Jiang Baili and others are interested."  While patrolling excitedly, a convoy of several military jeeps and cars came speeding up the official road. When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw Zhang Xinghan stepping down as the car door opened. Alice was filled with surprise and immediately stepped towards him.  Running: "Dear, you are back!  " Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others were stunned for a while after hearing this. They looked at each other in confusion. The inside was burnt and the outside was tender. Especially Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law, Wang Yizhe, was even more confused. He had a good impression of Alice just now and felt that she spoke and behaved well.  They are all quite decent, beautiful, and very ladylike in China. But why did they call their son-in-law "dear" when they met in the blink of an eye?  At that time, I was only thinking about the fertilizer factory and forgot about this incident. It was over. All of this was caused by Alice. She ducked away from Alice's hug, winked at her repeatedly, and smiled awkwardly at Wang Yizhe.  He walked with Jiang Baili and others and said, "Chief of Staff, father-in-law, are you all here?  " Jiang Baili couldn't help but laugh. Wang Yizhe's face was gloomy and he said lukewarmly: "Ruoying is pregnant with the child alone at home. It's very hard. Let's go home and take a look when we get back.  " "Yes, yes, father-in-law, I'm here to see the fertilizer factory and I'll be back in a while.  "Zhang Xinghan's father-in-law was shouted very loudly. Alice was proficient in Chinese and Chinese culture, so she naturally knew what father-in-law meant. She understood that she had made a mistake in her impulsiveness just now, and followed Zhang Xinghan and stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak again.  Talk more. Wang Yizhe snorted coldly and said: "Commander, you just know that Wang is busy with military affairs, so I will not accompany you. I will go back first."  " After saying that, Wang Yizhe took steps and walked outside. "Oh, father-in-law" Zhang Xinghan wanted to call him, but he hesitated. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Jiang Baili was amused for a while, until Zhang Xinghan gave him a helpless look.  , finally held back his laughter and said: "Commander, how is it, this operation went well?  " Zhang Xinghan withdrew his gaze, nodded and said: "Well, everything went smoothly. More than three million kilograms of grain and a batch of valuable property were seized.  " "More than three million catties?  Great, we have these three million more kilograms of grain, and with the summer harvest, it won't be a problem to survive the cold winter this year!  Jiang Baili said happily after hearing this. Zhang Xinghan had something on his mind and nodded. Accompanied by Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others, he walked around for a while before leaving the fertilizer factory. When getting in the car, Alice  He also followed him, and when he saw that she had been following him without saying a word, Zhang Xinghan felt a little aggrieved and smiled at her.  As soon as Alice smiled, tears rolled down her cheeks, and the crystal tears were like pearls. "Xinghan, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble.  Alice cried and said: "I really didn't mean it, please don't blame me."  " Zhang Xinghan sighed and looked at her who was crying like a child. He felt all kinds of emotions in his heart. Although Alice said something bold and unrestrained that day, it can be seen that she is not really that relaxed.  She didn't have any thoughts or actions to destroy Zhang Xinghan's family. Maybe she took the initiative one day, but she didn't know how much courage she mustered up to hold her in her arms and gently caress her soft body.  He raised her hair and wiped the tears that kept rolling down with one hand. Zhang Xinghan gently advised: "Stop crying, I'm not angry with you, and I won't blame you.  "    "real?  "Alice suddenly raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Yes.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously: "I really don't blame you."Everything was left to me, how could I blame you? Besides, you didn't mean it just now."  " Alice instantly felt her heart surrounded by happiness, and she happily nestled in Zhang Xinghan's arms. "But, Alice, I may not be able to give you anything, including marriage and status, which are most important to women.  , because I love my wife deeply, and I promised her that I would only marry her in this life, and I cannot break my promise.  "Zhang Xinghan said guiltily. "I don't care about any of this. I only care about one thing, and that is whether you love me or not?  Please tell me your true feelings!  "Alice raised her head and stared at him. "With Alice's identity, indeed, these are not important to her, but from another aspect, they are very important. As a proud daughter of heaven, she is willing to do it for herself.  Giving up everything and helping him to build a fertilizer factory and a brewery, Zhang Xinghan was also a human being and could be moved. He could clearly feel Alice's deep affection for him. After a pause, Zhang Xinghan nodded solemnly: "  Um!  " Alice cried with joy, took the initiative to kiss Zhang Xinghan, and became entangled with him in the car. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 316: Mass Production of Chemical Fertilizers

    ''Commander, this is the recruitment notice you asked me to prepare. See if it works.  Inside the department, Jiang Baili walked to Zhang Xinghan with a document and said.  Zhang Xinghan is reading a book. It has been more than three years since he came to this world. He has been busy commanding operations and spending every day in the flames of war. He has never been so leisurely and relaxed as these days.  There is currently no war in the four northeastern provinces, and all government and military affairs in various places are developing in an orderly manner.  Zhang Xinghan goes home to accompany Wang Ruoying every day when he has nothing to do, inspects the construction progress of the fertilizer plant site, and takes a look at Alice, how comfortable he is.  ° Of course, he spends more time with Wang Ruoying than Alice. Although he and Alice have established an underground lover relationship, Zhang Xinghan will feel guilty every time he meets Alice and spends more time with his wife.  It can be considered as compensation.  Putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Xinghan took the document handed over by Jiang Baili, opened it, looked at it, pondered for a while, and said: "Well, not bad, but the salary is a bit low, only two oceans a month." Jiang Baili explained:  "Commander, it's quite a lot. Two oceans is just the salary of ordinary new workers. They are all newbies and have to learn everything they do. The wages of the large number of technicians brought by Miss Elimu are much higher than this. You don't know something,  It turns out that the monthly salary of ordinary old workers in Shenyang Arsenal is only seven or eight yuan, and they will be given some food as a reward at the end of the year. These two yuan are really not that small. " Zhang Xinghan shook his head when he heard this and said: "Chief of Staff.  , you have forgotten one thing, that is, due to the destruction and consumption of the war in the past three years, prices in our four northeastern provinces have skyrocketed. Let me ask you, are the prices of food three years ago the same as they are now? " Jiang Baili heard this.  He fell into deep thought and said: "It's really different. I don't know how much the current food prices have increased compared to three years ago, but the prices of pork and vegetables have increased several times." "That's not it. The price of pork and vegetables  The food crisis has caused food prices to skyrocket some time ago. Although we recovered the food, the entire market economy has been disrupted, and it is difficult to suppress the soaring prices in a short period of time. The war requires financial and material resources.  The consumption capacity is too strong, and it will be difficult for our Northeast to recover within three or two years. This is why I can’t wait to build a fertilizer plant. Closer to home, due to the soaring prices, the purchasing power of Da Yang has been greatly reduced, so new workers every day.  Two yuan per person per month is no longer attractive. Our fertilizer plant will soon be completed and put into operation. It will require a large number of workers. It is not attractive. Let’s pay five yuan per person per month, on time.  The payment will never be in arrears. " "Okay, I will change it right away!" Jiang Baili nodded.  Seeing Jiang Baili taking the document and about to leave, Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to stop him: "Hey, Chief of Staff, wait a minute." "Huh?" Jiang Baili stopped and asked, "Commander, do you have anything else?" "I just suddenly remembered something.  "Brother Baili, your family are still in Hangzhou, right?" Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Yes, my wife and my children are all in Hangzhou." Jiang Baili nodded.  "I think for the sake of safety, do you need me to send someone to bring them to the Northeast?" Zhang Xinghan knew very well how important Jiang Baili was to him, just like Liu Bei's Xu Shu, who was a big help to him in the Northeast.  If he and Chairman Chiang fall out in the future and Chairman Chiang comes to force Xu Yuanzhi and Jiang Baili to leave Northeast China, what should he do?  Zhang Xinghan had been busy with the military in the past, so he did not consider all these aspects carefully, which was because he failed to take them into consideration.  Now that I have some free time, I think about it carefully. Although Chairman Jiang repeatedly awarded himself promotions and gave the Northeast Frontier Defense Force a regular establishment and designation, he never mentioned Jiang Baili’s official military position and rank. This made Zhang Xinghan have to worry about this.  Feeling suspicious.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly mentioned his family. Jiang Baili was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he said: "Everything depends on the commander's arrangements." This was enough. Zhang Xinghan looked at him and said tentatively: "Then I will do it.  Let Shen Xingye go to Hangzhou to pick them up and go north to reunite with the Chief of Staff?" Jiang Baili nodded.  After Jiang Baili left, Zhang Xinghan told Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go and find Shen Xingye for me." "Yes." Guo Zhong bowed his head in response, turned around and took the order to leave.  About half an hour later, Shen Xingye rushed over in a dusty state.  "Commander, are you looking for a humble position?" Shen Xingye stood up and saluted.  "Yizhi, the chief of staff's family members are all in Hangzhou. You should immediately organize people to go to Hangzhou to rescue them."When you come to the Northeast, remember to pay attention to safety. They are probably already under the surveillance of the military commander.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered straight to the point. Shen Xingye lowered his head and remained silent after hearing this. When Zhang Xinghan saw this, he asked: "What's the matter? Is it difficult?  " Shen Xingye raised his head and looked at Zhang Xinghan and said: "To be honest with the commander, it is indeed difficult. The Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area is the base camp and foothold of the National Government, and Hangzhou is a mixture of forces from all sides.  In order to bring the chief of staff’s family to the Northeast more smoothly and safely, I have a good suggestion, but I don’t know whether to say it or not.  "Zhong Mo Kuiyi, tell me quickly, why are you nagging me?" Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and said.  "Miss Alice is the future heir of the Max family, the first family in the UK. The British have concessions and chambers of commerce in China, especially in the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas. With their help, our response operations should be much easier and safer  ." Shen Xingye said carefully, observing his words.  "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter. You hurry up and make arrangements. Remember to send the most capable manpower and there must be no mistakes." "Yes!  "Shen Xingye bowed his head respectfully and responded, then turned around and took the order.  Watching Shen Xingye leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong with a smile: "Zhongzi, prepare the car, let's go to Longtan Mountain again." "Yes!" Guo Zhong agreed happily and walked away.  After more than a month of construction, the Longtanshan Fertilizer Factory building has finally been completed.  The factory building is the main project. Once the construction is completed, other machine layout structures will be much faster.  What’s more, in the past month or so, the workers and technicians brought by Alice have not been idle. In addition to directing the construction of the factory building, they have assembled the machines as much as possible in their free time.  Therefore, in less than ten days, the machinery and equipment of the fertilizer plant were basically installed and laid out.  The production of fertilizers in this era is relatively simple. Once everything is ready, the operation officially begins.  As for the workers, Zhang Xinghan was tempted by Zhang Xinghan’s five-yuan monthly salary during the trial period, so he recruited all the workers before the factory was built.  The technology of fertilizer production has been basically mature in Western countries such as the United Kingdom.  So just three days later, after a series of debugging and testing, China’s first bag of fertilizer was produced.  After the fertilizer was produced, Alice and others notified Zhang Xinghan immediately.  After Zhang Xinghan learned the news, he immediately drove to the fertilizer factory with Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi, Wang Yizhe and others.  Looking at the snow-white fertilizer particles in the cloth bag, Zhang Xinghan was extremely excited and applauded repeatedly. He said to the technicians present: "Thank you, thank you very much. On behalf of the people of Northeast China, I thank you. With this fertilizer, our people can  Get rid of hunger, even get rid of poverty, and live a life of food and clothing. "General Zhang, is this fertilizer really that good?" Zang Shiyi asked.  "Of course, with this fertilizer, the grain production of our people will be greatly increased." Zhang Xinghan said, and said to Alice: "Alice, please tell them, please immediately start production at full capacity, and put it into production as soon as possible."  Leave the first batch of fertilizer to me and I will give it to our people for testing. "General Zhang, this is David. He is now the chief designer of the fertilizer plant. If you have any instructions, you can tell him directly."  That's it." Alice pointed at a British man in his fifties.  Seeing Alice introducing herself, the British man named David quickly smiled and extended a hand of friendship to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghanzhong shook hands with him and said: "Mr. David, right? From today on, you are the general director of our Longtanshan Fertilizer Factory. From now on, you will be fully responsible for fertilizer production and research. In terms of salary, please feel free to worry.  I will never treat you and your subordinates badly. " "General Zhang, I admire you very much and have admired you for a long time. Thank you for your trust. My colleagues and I will work hard." David said.  Proficient in Chinese said with a smile.  "Really? Hahaha!" Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily when he heard this.  In the past few days, Jiang Baili’s wife, children and family members, with the cooperation of the British, took the sea route and were successfully taken to the Northeast by the agents of the reconnaissance battalion.  After being reunited with his family, Jiang Baili was in much better spirits than before, with a happy smile on his face every day.  Seeing this scene, Zhang Xinghan knew that he had done something right.  The fertilizer plant was officially put into operation. Under the leadership of David, batch flow production began, and the daily output continued to increase.  Zhang Xing?While he started to ask Alice to help prepare the brewery, he took Jiang Baili and others to conduct on-site inspections and consider putting the first batch of chemical fertilizers into those areas for experimental use.  "Commander, I think the soil and geographical environment of Yongji County in the south of Jilin City is good, and it should be used as the first batch of chemical fertilizer test areas." Jiang Baili said.  Zang Shiyi also nodded in agreement: "I also agree with Chief of Staff Chiang's opinion. Yongji County is located on the west bank of the Songhua River and is irrigated by the Songhua River. The land is fertile and has always been one of the areas with high grain production. You can give it a try."  "Well, since you all have this idea, let's make this decision." Zhang Xinghan was also deeply impressed by Yongji County. The conditions there were indeed good in all aspects, so he nodded in agreement.  PS: Special thanks to Mr. Wang Arthur for the 10,000 rewards, and also to other brothers for their rewards and monthly votes. Thank you Qiu Feng. Finally, I would like to ask for monthly votes and recommendation votes.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 317: Rebuilding the Military Academy

    It was already the end of June when Zan Fertilizer was successfully put into operation, and the summer harvest of the common people had already begun.  When Zhang Xinghan and others took a car and led the guards into Yongji County, people working in the fields could be seen everywhere.  "Zhongzi, immediately send someone back to inform the fertilizer factory to send all the fertilizer that has been produced to Yongji County." Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong.  "Yes." Guo Zhong opened the door, got out of the car and took orders to leave.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others also got out of the car one after another and stood on the official road, looking at the endless fields in the distance.  Jiang Baili asked: "Commander, I don't know how you plan to distribute this fertilizer. Will you sell it to the people or distribute it to the people for free?" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly in the wind and said: "Of course it will be distributed for free. First of all, this fertilizer has just been produced.  , I haven’t used it yet, and no one knows if it has any effect. Furthermore, even if it does, people don’t understand it. It’s not easy for them to suddenly accept such a new thing. They may not.  I will accept it, but if we sell it to them, I guess we won’t be able to sell even a bag. “Then wouldn’t we have to pay for it out of our own pocket? The fertilizer plant’s daily expenses and workers’ wages are a huge investment, and we will always lose money.  I'm afraid I can't afford it. "Jiang Baili is an excellent soldier, but by no means an excellent businessman, he said with a worried look.  Zhang Xinghan burst into laughter: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, if the fertilizer we produce can really increase food production, then we will never continue to lose money. I can guarantee that within a year, our fertilizer factory will be  Because the market demand is too high, the supply is out of stock. "Huh?" Jiang Baili looked surprised.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan’s evil smile, he looked like a profiteer.  Jiang Baili suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said: "I understand, these first batch of experimental fields are a publicity investment. Once the people can get a bumper harvest and increase production, the benefits of chemical fertilizers will be spread from word to mouth, from one to ten, and from ten to hundreds.  At that time, the people in the surrounding counties will rush to come to us to buy and spend. And this kind of publicity effect will continue, and sooner or later it will spread throughout the four northeastern provinces and even China. Speaking of this, Jiang Baili's face was already red with excitement.  You know what to say. Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: "So, we have to let the fertilizer factory stock as much stock as possible this year. Next year, there will probably be a large-scale queue to buy fertilizer.  Of course, the best solution is to continue to expand the fertilizer plant, but this can only be decided after the experimental fields have harvested.  In the afternoon, the first batch of fertilizers was continuously transported to Yongji County.  The long queue of dozens of military trucks attracted the attention of many people working in Tianjian along the way.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan ordered the county magistrate of Yongji County to send people to publicize the notice.  By the afternoon, most of the people in the city rushed to the street outside the county government compound.  Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi, together with the county magistrate and other government officials, patiently explained the effects of chemical fertilizers to the people.  “I heard that you could get fertilizer for farming for free, so the landlords and wealthy people readily accepted this new thing.  Everything was as Zhang Xinghan expected. In less than three days, hundreds of tons of fertilizers were distributed.  Most landowners in Yongji County have received fertilizers and are registered with the county government.  Then David, the director of the fertilizer factory, was ordered to take a group of technicians to the countryside and start teaching people the amount and use of fertilizers.  With the correct use method, hundreds of tons of chemical fertilizers have been used on thousands of acres of first-class land in Yongji County, just waiting for the next spring to see the harvest.  With the matter at the fertilizer plant temporarily over, Zhang Xinghan began to replace the troops with new and more advanced equipment to improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Northeast Border Guard and facilitate the response to any military conflicts that may occur in the future.  In terms of rifles, considering the pressure of logistical support and the fact that the Garand semi-automatic rifle is still at the absolute leading level, it can be said that it is invincible, so it will not be replaced for the time being.  The situation with pistols is similar because they are not the main guns.  The main equipment that the entire army is replacing is submachine guns, and the Northeast Border Guards are equipped with a large amount of submachine guns.  ?Almost one-third of all firearms and weapons are owned.  The MP18 submachine gun currently in service in the Northeast Border Guard is already a product of the First World War. Although its firepower is good, its short range, poor firepower sustainability and other shortcomings have increasingly affected its use.??The role in increasingly high-intensity battles.  Therefore, it is urgent and imperative to replace the submachine gun.  Zhang Xinghan chose the more advanced MP38 submachine gun. With this weapon, Zhang Xinghan's guard battalion and airborne brigade had already changed their equipment earlier. Judging from actual combat performance, this submachine gun is superior to the MP8 submachine gun in all aspects.  In addition to submachine guns, the general-purpose machine gun also has the mg34, which has been replaced by the more advanced m942 general-purpose machine gun.  Of course, the mg34s that were eliminated from the army refitting are also excellent general-purpose machine guns, so Zhang Xinghan has no intention of selling them to other warlords in the pass, because once the warlords in the pass are equipped with this kind of general-purpose machine gun, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of his troops.  improvement.  It is even possible to compete with the Northeast Border Guards in terms of machine gun firepower. You must know that the mg34 general-purpose machine gun is not much worse than the M042 in terms of pure firepower.  Rather, it was dispersed and allocated to the county security teams and other militia forces, so that the firepower of the county security teams, military police and policemen was greatly strengthened.  Others, such as the bazooka rocket launcher and the Panzer IV tank, are not included in this update, considering that they are still very advanced and excellent for the time being.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan also has his own deeper and longer-term plans. Although after three years of fighting and arming twenty or thirty troops, the watch still has a considerable amount of enemy kill value left.  But he did not dare to spend as much as he wanted to replace the army with other more advanced and expensive weapons and equipment.  Because he knew that he would have to form his own navy sooner or later, and the kill value consumed by navy warships was far beyond what the army equipment could match.  It can be seen from this that the Navy is indeed an extremely money-burning branch.  But in modern warfare, without a navy and sea control, it is simply impossible to defend the enemy from outside the country, let alone become a military power.  Therefore, the enemy kill value accumulated with great difficulty must be used carefully.  The total number of security forces in various counties in the Northeast is only tens of thousands, and the replacement equipment of the 300,000-strong Northeast Frontier Defense Force cannot be used up at all.  In view of this, Zhang Xinghan ordered Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi to launch a large-scale recruitment operation for the first time in the four northeastern provinces.  Zhang Xinghan expects to recruit another 100,000 new soldiers, but the soldiers he recruits this time are a little different from the past.  That means they are not considered regular Northeastern Border Guard troops, but exist as second-line reserve militia troops of the regular army.  All recruits who join the army receive half of the salary of the active-duty main force officers and soldiers. They can return home to farm during the busy farming season. After the busy farming season is over, instructors from each army division will be sent to conduct unified militarized training for them.  Zhang Xinghan’s purpose of doing this is to train as many reservists as possible.  Once the losses of the main force in a war emergency are too heavy, these reserve militia forces can be replenished.  It is much better than resorting to clumsy tactics and retraining new recruits.  Jilin City, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters.  Today, Zhang Xinghan specially summoned all the commanders of the eleven reorganized divisions.  The conference room of the headquarters was filled with stars, crowded, and lively.  "I haven't seen you for a while, Lao Liu, but you're so damn red-faced and in good spirits!" Liu Jianguo, commander of the 203rd Division, joked to Liu Guodong, commander of the 204th Division.  "You don't know about Jianguo. The reason why Old Liu's face is so red is because he goes to Qiqihar's Flower Street and Liuxiang a lot. Every day, there are charming and beautiful girls to relieve his heat! Hahaha" Wang Yicai, commander of the 25th Division, followed.  road.  Old Liu Guodong's face turned red and he said: "Go away, you are just fucking happy with me being poor. What's wrong with being a bachelor? Who among you can be better than me or what? In our Northeast Army, except for the commander and chief of staff, who is not a bachelor?"  "Hey, Liu Guodong, you just said this, how can Dingfang and I be singles?" Huang Xiansheng, the commander of the 200th Division, pretended to be angry.  Liu Guodong realized his slip of the tongue and quickly apologized with a smile: "Oh, Director Huang, old officer, it was my fault. I misspoke about you two. They are not in the order of battle for us young people. So, please don't be angry."  "Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng looked at each other, you are like Liu Guodong, you have a smooth tongue.  While everyone was busy, a loud reminder from the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong came from outside: "The commander-in-chief is here!" When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped laughing and stood up to attention.  Zhang Xinghan, wearing a brand-new military uniform and shiny black leather shoes, strode in refreshed and refreshed. Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye followed behind him.  "Hahaha wasn't it all hot just now? Why did the brothers become quiet when I came?" Zhang Xinghan came?The head of the conference table stood and smiled.  "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are getting younger and more handsome." Wang Yicai said with a smile.  "Haha, Yi Cai, are you praising me or scolding me?" Zhang Xinghan said: "Wasn't I handsome and young before?" When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became active again.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "Actually, I have called you all here today. First, it is because the situation in the four northeastern provinces is rarely so stable at present. I want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get together with you, because I don't know what day it will be."  We will go to the battlefield again and serve our country. Secondly, there is something important to announce to everyone. As everyone knows, during this time, I have asked you to start recruiting new soldiers and forming a militia reserve force.  It is absolutely impossible to build an army with only soldiers. As the saying goes, it is easy to find a general among the three armies. We still have to train our own officers, especially the grassroots officers. They will be the backbone of the main force. Therefore, after careful consideration.  After thinking about it, I decided to reopen the Northeast Martial Arts Hall on another day, but the name has to be changed, and it will be called the Northeast Modern Military School!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, everyone in the room immediately started talking, and everyone was beaming with joy.  "Commander, this is a good decision, I support it with both hands." Huang Xiansheng was the first to express his stance.  "I also agree." Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the 201st Division, said: "As the commander said, it is difficult to find a general in the three armies. We recruit new soldiers and form a reserve militia department, but we do not train a corresponding number of officers.  No. Because, once a war breaks out, the main force will lose not only soldiers, but also the backbone of mid-level and grass-roots officers. If the lost grass-roots officers are not replaced, then any number of new recruits will be in vain, so the combat effectiveness will be lost.  "It is indeed urgent to reopen the Northeast Military Academy to cultivate a steady stream of military talents for us." "I agree, too," other division commanders also expressed their opinions after hearing Zhao Zhenfan's analysis.  "Okay, since all of you have no objections, then this matter is settled. After the military academy is established, all middle- and junior-level officers in each division who have not attended the military academy must rotate to the military academy to participate in crash course training to improve their military skills.  Qualifications and professional knowledge!" Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "As for the principals of our Northeast Military Academy!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, everyone looked at Jiang Baili, who was standing at the lower left of Zhang Xinghan.  Feeling the attention of everyone, Jiang Baili smiled awkwardly and said: "You, Baili, have left the military academy for many years. I am afraid that you are not qualified for such an important position." "Chief of Staff, please stop being modest. You have studied abroad and worked with Japan and Germany.  , served as the president of the Baoding Army Military Academy twenty years ago. Many famous generals in the National Government are now your students. The president of Northeastern University must be you. "Zhang Xinghan is very affectionate!  He said: "Commander, I have given you a reward. Baili is very talented and has little knowledge. He is already in his twilight years. It is really difficult for him to take on this important task. Please choose another capable person." Jiang Baili declined humbly.  "Brother Baili, we have established a military academy with the aim of serving the country. Please do not refuse for the sake of revitalizing China and strengthening our national defense. There is really no one more suitable for the position of principal than you." Zhang Xinghan was already in a hurry.  Changed the title.  "Yes, the Chief of Staff and Commander is right. No one is more qualified than you for the position of principal of the military academy, and no one is more suitable than you. Just agree." Huang Xiansheng also advised.  Teachers from other divisions also joined in urging him to take up the post of principal.  Seeing that everyone was so kind and unable to refuse, Jiang Baili suddenly came up with a compromise and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Baili has a request. If you can agree, Baili will agree to help you manage the military academy." "  Even if the chief of staff says so, I will agree to anything," Zhang Xinghan said without hesitation.  "In this case, Baili would like to ask you, Commander, to take up the post of principal of the Northeast Military Academy. Baili is willing to take the second place. He will do his best to cultivate more military talents for the country and the nation." Jiang Baili said in an astonishing way.  "Huh? I'll be the principal?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised and looked at everyone present in surprise. Everyone was also moved by Jiang Baili's proposal. Yes, isn't the Commander-in-Chief more suitable to be the principal?  Jiang Baili struck while the iron was hot: "There are only three people whom Baili admires in his life. Mr. Sun Yat-sen created the republic, was the pioneer of our country's revolution, and can be regarded as the father of the country. "Then there are my best friend and classmate Cai Songpo, General Cai, General Cai E and  I both studied under Ren Gong (Liang Qichao). In the fourth year of the Republic of China, I led my troops to attack Yuan Huguo.He dedicated his life to his country and died.  Third, you are Commander-in-Chief Zhang. In times of crisis, the general stepped forward to turn the tide and help the building that was about to collapse.  In order to defend the dignity of the nation and the honor of the military, he was not afraid of the enemy being outnumbered, and launched a three-year bloody battle with the Japanese aggressors. He finally settled the matter and restored the entire Northeast China. He is actually the biggest national hero since the Ming Dynasty.  The commander’s tactical command ability and strategic vision are far superior to Baili, so for the position of principal of the Northeast Military Academy, you are the only one who is most suitable, and Baili is willing to be the deputy!  "After listening to Jiang Baili's words, everyone's thoughts have completely changed. Wang Yicai and others said one after another: "Commander, what the chief of staff said makes sense. I think you will be the principal of this military academy, and the same goes for the chief of staff being the vice principal.  " "Yes, the Commander-in-Chief is a genius, and both the Japanese and Soviet invaders will be frightened by his name. If you were the principal, I can guarantee that those who come to sign up for the military academy will definitely break our threshold!  "    "Hahaha!  "Zhang Xinghan raised his head and laughed and said: "Okay, in that case, I won't be pretentious. I don't overestimate my abilities as a principal. But Brother Baili, I mainly have to rely on you as the vice principal. Being a principal is a job that Zhang Xinghan  I’ve never done it before!  "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured. Baili will do his best and will never let everyone down!"  "Jiang Baili said with a slight smile. "Okay, now that we've finished talking about the business, I've asked the kitchen to prepare food and wine for us. We won't go home until we get drunk today!  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said. "You won't come back until you're drunk!  " "You won't come back until you're drunk!  Hahaha!  "Everyone laughed in unison. After the decision to establish the Northeast Military Academy was made, the next day, while looking for a suitable location to build the school, Zhang Xinghan asked Zhang Xinghan to announce the news. The four northeastern provinces, the Pingjin area, and even the entire North China region  As soon as the students and young people in the northwest region heard that Zhang Xinghan was planning to build a modern military school in the northeast and appointed himself the principal of the school, with Jiang Baili as the vice-principal, it immediately caused a huge sensation. Enthusiastic young people determined to serve the country set off and flocked to the northeast, planning to attend the military academy.  , learn military knowledge, and serve the country in the future. PS: This chapter is a 5,000-word chapter. I originally planned to write two 6,000-word chapters and publish them together, but due to time constraints, that’s it. I will try my best to break out tomorrow.  Finally, I ask for your monthly support. We will never give up until the end of the month. There are also recommendation tickets. This thing is free.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 318: Starting a war at this time?

    The news that Zhang Xinghan and others were planning to re-establish a military academy in the Northeast quickly spread throughout the vast areas inside and outside the Great Wall, Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia.  It is natural that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who was in charge of Nanjing, would not know this.  In a study room of the leader's official residence, after listening to the report by the chief of guard Wang Shihe, Chairman Jiang's face became extremely ugly.  He slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "Mother Xipi, you are so lawless. Zhang Xinghan also wants to be the principal?" Wang Shihe remained silent. Zhang Xinghan was too bold. Not only did he want to build a military academy, but he also wanted to be the principal himself.  , Everyone knows that Chairman Chiang made his fortune as a principal. If you also become a principal, don't you want to be on an equal footing with Chairman Chiang?  "Go and find Dai Li for me, Niang Xipi!" Chairman Jiang ordered angrily.  "Yes." Wang Shihe responded with his head bowed, and withdrew respectfully.  After some research, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others decided to establish the Northeast Military Academy in Changchun. The official name of the military academy was Northeast Changchun Longxing Military School.  The specific location is Lianhua Mountain, 30 kilometers east of Changchun. It is located on the west bank of the middle reaches of the Yinma River. The Yinma River is the main tributary of the Songhua River. In later generations, a large Shitou Koumen reservoir was built here.  The military academy is built here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pleasant scenery and extremely convenient transportation. It is very close to the railway line and the airport built by the Northeast Army in Changchun.  The first and most important point is that it is located at the junction of Jilin and Changchun, belonging to the hinterland of Northeast China.  Jilin’s fertilizer plant, as well as breweries and other industries under preparation will be built around Jilin City.  Zhang Xinghan’s idea is to build Jilin as the capital of the base area. All important light and heavy industries and schools in the Northeast region should be built around Jilin.  Make Jilin City a Northeastern city.  Even the political, cultural, economic and military center of Northeast Asia.  Although it was decided on the map that the general school would be built in Lianhua Mountain on the west bank of the Yinma River, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others drove to Lianhua San in person for on-site inspection.  Standing at the foot of Lotus Mountain, Jiang Baili pointed ahead and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, look. In front of you is the Yinma River. The scenery here is pleasant, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a geomantic treasure." Zhang Xinghan nodded happily.  , I thought to myself, could it not be a treasure land?  Seventy or eighty years later, this place has become a high-end villa area, with prices starting at tens of thousands per square meter.  At the same time, I can’t help but lament that the old society is still better. The land is basically in a state of waiting for development. Especially in the four northeastern provinces, I am the one who has the final say.  If you want to build a house there, build a house. If you want to build a military academy, build a military academy.  Think about it in your spare time, if there is no war, it would be really good to be a veritable king of the four northeastern provinces and a local emperor.  No need to worry about food and drink, no mortgage worries.  I can travel anywhere in the Northeast, and the world is in my hands.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's silent expression with a smile on his face, Jiang Baili shouted: "Commander, Commander?" "Huh?" Zhang Xinghan came back from his obscene thoughts and asked, "Chief of Staff, what's the matter?" Jiang Baili  He said meaningfully: "Commander, I don't know whether to say something or not." "Chief of Staff, there is nothing else you can't say to me. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Commander, have you ever thought about it. We are rebuilding our own military school in the Northeast to train military talents. It is called serving the country. In fact, it has become its own entity. We all know that this is to cultivate military backbones for our Northeast Border Defense Force, but these forces  . It can be used to resist external humiliation, and it can also be used in other aspects. " Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan thoughtfully and said: "Chairman Jiang is a person with strong dictatorial desires. Our strength has grown too fast.  It has made him restless. Now we are building a factory and a school. With his character, he will never sit back and watch. Commander, you are the soul and backbone of our Northeast Army. Without you, the Northeast Army will be easy.  Falling apart, falling apart. “So Commander, please be careful, just in case.” Jiang Baili was hinting that he should be careful about the assassination of the military commander.  Zhang Xinghan is not stupid, of course he can understand the meaning. He nodded seriously and said: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured, I will pay attention to this, especially after the last attack, I have greatly strengthened the people around me."  As for the defense force, in addition to the guard battalion, Shen Xingye’s reconnaissance battalion also secretly protected me in groups day and night. “Yes.  Jiang Baili nodded and said, "It's just you and me today. There's something else. I also want to know what you think of it, Commander."  "    "whats the matter?  Please tell me clearly, Chief of Staff."" Zhang Xinghan asked curiously. "At present, our four northeastern provinces are developing military, government affairs, and even agriculture. If the fertilizer produced this time can be successful, then we will move towards stability as a whole."  "Within three years of accumulation like this, we will be able to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth. I wonder what your plans are, Commander?"  "Jiang Baili asked. When asked by Jiang Baili, Zhang Xinghan was really confused. Yes, the situation in Northeast China can be said to be quite stable at present. "Military development, not to mention the background of the original Shenyang Arsenal, is just his own multi-function watch  It can ensure that for a long time in the future, he will not have to worry about military weapons. All he needs is stable taxation and grain storage. But he has already done this. As long as the fertilizer can achieve the desired effect, it can be foreseen that Northeast China will be affected.  The overall grain output will be greatly increased. The Shenyang Arsenal and the brewery can provide a steady stream of fiscal revenue. In terms of public security and environment, after the large-scale and comprehensive suppression of bandits some time ago, the bandits and beards in the Northeast have basically disappeared.  The public security environment has never been so good. It is a bit exaggerated to describe it as "nothing left on the road", but it is definitely much better than other areas in Guan at this stage. When the military academy is built again and the reserve force is established, the entire Northeast region has completely entered the track of regularization.  . It seems that he has nothing to do. Of course, if he is serious about it, it is not that Zhang Xinghan has nothing to do. Northeast China’s medical care, economy, and education are still at a relatively backward level. But it will take several generations to do these things well.  It can only be achieved through hard work and perfection. Even if it is impossible for Zhang Xinghan to achieve it in his lifetime, he can only improve the level of the above aspects as much as possible in his lifetime. If this is a peaceful era, Zhang Xinghan will not hesitate to do it.  However, the timing is not up to anyone. At this time, China is suffering from internal and external troubles, and Japan and Russia may invade again at any time. What Zhang Xinghan needs to do now is to strengthen the army. Only by having a strong enough army can he guarantee his victory.  Only when the country is not invaded can it have the opportunity to fully develop its economy. Without a strong enough army, it is impossible to protect the economy no matter how good it is. What's more, if we want to eliminate the military threats to the Chinese nation from other countries once and for all, it is best to do so.  The way is to take the initiative to defeat him and let them lose at the starting line, instead of just sticking to national defense and being beaten passively. Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and asked instead: "Chief of Staff, what are your plans for our future development.  view?  "    "I?  "Jiang Baili was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Xinghan would ask the question in reverse. He turned his head and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "Commander, before I answer your question, can you tell me your truest thoughts now?  .  " "The truest thought in my heart?  "Zhang Xinghan was a little confused. "Yes, that's the truest thought in your heart. Do you plan to settle down in a corner, or do you want to lead your army to expand the territory of our Chinese nation and make immortal achievements?  "Jiang Baili nodded. Zhang Xinghan did not answer in a hurry. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, took a few puffs, and suddenly said: "As a Chinese soldier, I naturally have to fight for the nation and future generations.  , not seeking to open up new territories, but seeking that no one dares to insult our Chinese nation.  " Jiang Baili was startled at first, and then smiled knowingly: "Hahaha, the commander is so talented, Baili admires him. Since the commander is so heroic and dedicated to the country and the people, I will simply state my humble opinion despite my humble position.  " "First of all, I think our next operational target should be the Koryo Peninsula.  The Korean Peninsula and our northeast are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and are on the same continent. Now it is occupied by the Japanese. It is a threat to us at all times. As the saying goes, we cannot allow others to snore under the bed, so the Japanese must be driven out of the Korean Peninsula.  !  After taking the Korean Peninsula, we need to rest for a while and continue to use the strong advantages of our army to cross Shanhaiguan and move south to North China and the Central Plains.  Only by occupying all of North China, the Central Plains and the Northwest, and controlling two-quarters of the population and area of ??the entire Chinese nation, can we obtain greater war power, fight the Japanese aggressors, and aspire to dominate Asia.  " Jiang Baili's idea was grand and domineering, making everyone feel excited. But Zhang Xinghan thought of a practical problem and frowned: "But, Chief of Staff, have you ever thought about it, if we attack the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese will  They will never sit back and watch, they will definitely use all their strength to stop us, and then it will become a conflict between us and the whole of Japan.The decisive battle has begun. With our current strength, even if we develop for another two or three years, it will be difficult to win this war under such circumstances.  " Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Yes, if we really wait three to five years and let the Japanese recover their strength, maybe we won't need to attack the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese will come back and attack us again with the strength of the whole country.  In my opinion, instead of waiting for three to five years for the battlefield to take place on our own soil, it is better for us to launch an active attack now and set the battlefield on the Koryo Peninsula.  This way we can minimize the damage caused by the war to our country, and we can also take the initiative in the war.  " "Chief of Staff, do you mean to launch an attack on the Japanese troops on the Koryo Peninsula now?  "Zhang Xinghan asked in surprise. "Yes.  "Jiang Baili nodded to confirm. (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 319: Longxing Military Academy

    Zhang Xinghan said: "Chief of Staff, are you sure you are not joking? Our army has just rested for less than three months, the recruits have just passed, and the militia reserve troops are still being recruited and formed. And we really don't have much military food reserves.  The most important thing is that the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who escaped from Dalian have all withdrawn to the nearby Koryo Peninsula. Now the number of Japanese troops on the Koryo Peninsula has increased to nearly 100,000. This is not the point. The point is that Japan has just completed a nationwide mobilization.  The new army strength reaches 500,000 troops. If the Koryo Peninsula is in emergency, the Japanese are likely to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to dispatch, or directly rush to aid Koryo, or they may launch an attack on our Dalian and Jinzhou Huludao front lines to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.  How should we respond? Also, the Soviets broke their swords in our hands twice in a row and lost their troops and generals. They are always thinking about revenge. Once the main force of our army is transferred eastward, they may take advantage of the situation and attack our border again.  Jiang Baili smiled slightly and said: "Commander, you are too pessimistic. First of all, the Japanese just completed a nationwide mobilization, which was good, but we ended the Dalian Battle before they completed the assembly of reinforcements. In other words, the Japanese mobilized fifty times."  The operation of Wan Dajun has been forced to suspend, or it has failed. Considering Japan's national strength and population size, they are not allowed to maintain five or six million active-duty troops for leisure, not to mention that they still have an astonishing number.  A large-scale navy needs to be maintained. You must know that before the Battle of Shenyang, Japan had only seventeen active army divisions, each with a strength of about 14,000. Including logistics supplementary troops, the number was only more than 200,000.  . Most of the Japanese army of 500,000 should have been disbanded on the spot. The remaining troops are at best 100,000 to 150,000, plus the approximately 100,000 in Korea. This is Japan.  The national strength, material resources, and finances can currently maintain the normal level of the troops. Because the Japanese are seriously injured and need to recuperate and restore their national strength. Therefore, based on the above reasons, if we can gather about 200,000 troops,  Use an absolute superior force to suddenly cross the Yalu River. Instead of fighting the enemy city by city in a war of attrition, we should use our army's mechanization advantage to carry out long-distance and large-scale detours, and go straight to the hinterland of the Korean Peninsula to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.  Opportunities to mobilize reinforcements from the mainland. Of course, how to deploy and use these 200,000 troops, how to cooperate with our powerful artillery and air force, and how to blockade the coastal ports of the peninsula, we need to carefully discuss and study before the war begins. As for the Soviet army.  , failed twice in a row, lost troops and generals. Coupled with the turmoil in their country, as long as we deploy properly to confuse them and use the reserve force as the main force, we can continue to act as a deterrent and prevent them from invading southward. " " Two hundred thousand!  A large army? This is basically all our active troops! This is a dangerous move!" Zhang Xinghan took a breath, but after Jiang Baili's analysis, two hundred thousand could not defeat one hundred thousand Japanese troops.  Advantages of artillery and air force, if properly directed.  Annihilating them all and winning this battle is really not a problem.  The main reason is the quick victory that Jiang Baili said, which is similar to the German blitzkrieg in history.  "Yes, this is a risky move, it's done. We have no worries for the time being, and can go all out to explore the Central Plains and the northwest. If we lose, the situation in the Northeast may be very bad" Jiang Baili didn't finish his words, but the implication was very clear.  Clearly.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent. Let's go back and discuss it carefully." "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded, turned around and walked down the mountain with Zhang Xinghan, and the guards in all directions also watched.  They gathered their teams and followed.  After leaving Lianhua Mountain, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili returned to Jilin City by car.  After the address of the military academy was determined, Zhang Xinghan asked Zang Shiyi to prepare the preparations for the construction, recruit the construction team, required materials, etc.  At the same time, military academy registration offices were set up in Shenyang, Dalian, Tongliao, Harbin, Qiqihar, Changchun and other large and small cities, and students were officially admitted in advance.  “Zang Shiyi and his group of political officials handled all this, and Zhang Xinghan did not need to worry about it. Of course, all the actions of Zang Shiyi and others were under the surveillance of the reconnaissance battalion agents.  It can be said that everything is under Zhang Xinghan's control.  Guo Zhong and others were all cleared out of the operation room of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army Headquarters in Jilin City. There were only three people in the operation room: Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, and Wang Yizhe, commander of the 202nd Division and commander of Jilin City City Defense.  Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette, and Zang Shiyi held a wooden finger in his hand.On the pole, Wang Yizhe and three people were gathered around a map hanging on the wall.  Zhang Xinghan took a few puffs and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, please tell me your thoughts these days." Jiang Baili nodded, pointed at the combat map with the command stick in his hand and said: "First of all, our  The mobilization of the 200,000-strong army must be kept strictly confidential. The 200,000-strong main force should be secretly mobilized to Dandong, the northeastern border with Goryeo. The specific march route is as follows. Our 200,000-strong army can be divided into two groups, and 15 troops should be concentrated on one of them.  The main force is about 150,000, and this army of 150,000 can be further divided into three small roads, crossing the Yalu River near Andong, bypassing Sinuiju, passing through Yongcheon County and Seoncheon, and attacking southward.  Set off from Kuandian, cross the Yalu River, capture Shuozhou, and immediately attack Turtle City, and attack Dingzhou, an important town in the north of Goryeo, with the first group of troops. The third group starts from Tonghua, crosses the Yalu River, and attacks Manpu and Jiangjie.  Then they went south, bypassed Tokugawa, attacked Anju directly, and cut off its communication with Dingzhou. After the three-pronged army of 150,000 captured the two important towns of Dingzhou and Anzhou, they joined forces and went straight to Pingcheng (Pyongyang) to fight with the Japanese army in North Korea.  Decisive Battle and Pyongyang City The other side division should be mainly armored, supplemented by one or two armored infantry divisions, starting from Yanbian, crossing the China-North Korea border, and attacking along the east coast of Goryeo. These areas are not the focus of Japanese defense.  , so there will never be too many troops deployed. This partial division does not need to worry about capturing cities and territories. It only needs to bypass the cities along the east coastline and plunge into the hinterland of South Korea, making strategic detours so that the Japanese army does not dare to use all its strength to aid Pingcheng.  In order to support our main force in taking over North Korea, their goal is to attack Seoul and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in North Korea, and cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in northern Korea for many days.  The result of repeated research was the success.  Wang Yizhe nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said with admiration on his face: "I have heard about Brother Baili's name for a long time in the past, but now that I have seen him, he is well-known. Wang is so impressed!" "Mr. Wang, you are overestimating me." Jiang Baili smiled slightly.  The two of them turned their attention to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan took a few puffs from the half cigarette in his hand, puffed out the smoke for a while, then put out the cigarette butt and said: "The chief of staff's strategic concept is very feasible. I have decided to send troops to Korea while the weather permits.  , Troop mobilization and specific combat plans are all left to you, Chief of Staff. " "Yes, I will convene the combat staff to discuss and formulate detailed combat and march plans." Jiang Baili suddenly became energetic after hearing this, and responded loudly.  As soldiers, they have an almost crazy desire for war, especially this kind of foreign war that opens up territories for the country. Of all the seven-foot men, who is not passionate and passionate?  "Well, the mobilization of all troops should be completed by the end of July, which coincides with the summer grain harvest. We have no worries about military supplies for the time being, but since this, the people's lives will be a little harder this year." Zhang Xinghan said with a somewhat self-blame expression on his face at the end.  "Prospering the Han Dynasty, a man should do something he should not do. Don't be so sentimental and worry about gains and losses. We are opening up territories for the country and the nation, and we want to avenge our shame. Over the past hundred years, our Chinese nation has been invaded by foreign nations many times. This time we were able to  Going abroad to fight is really an act of pride and satisfaction. "As soldiers, we shed blood and sacrifice our lives. It's reasonable for the people to save money and support some food. I believe they won't have many complaints." Wang Yizhe advised as an old father-in-law!  road.  Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I understand." Having made up his mind, Jiang Baili and others began to issue orders, and the Northeast Army's land and air forces stationed in various places began to secretly mobilize and assemble.  Countless military supplies, including food, weapons, etc., are also being mobilized to border areas in large quantities.  All the troops who were ordered to assemble strictly abided by the confidentiality order. Except for the commanders of each unit, the majority of the officers and soldiers did not know the purpose of the trip at all.  Military camps, trains and highways and other important transportation areas in various places have been blocked and kept secret, and everything is being carried out in secret.  After more than half a month of intensive repairs, the basic construction of the Northeast Longxing Military Academy in Lianhua Mountain has been completed.  In order to deceive others, Zhang Xinghan, together with Wang Yizhe, Zang Shiyi and other important officials and generals, participated in and presided over the first opening ceremony of Longxing Military Academy.  Because they have to fight in North Korea, the mid-level and junior officers originally planned by each army cannot come to Longxing Military Academy to participate in the crash course training.  Therefore, the first batch of students are mainly 500 enthusiastic young people from all over the Northeast selected from various provinces.  In addition, there are also someThe total number of young students from Tianjin and even North China who came to register was about a thousand.  “According to the rules set by Jiang Baili for the military academy, only 400% of these 1,000 people could stay to continue their studies and officially graduate two years later, with an elimination rate of 60%.  On the first day of school, the playground of Longxing Military Academy was crowded with enthusiastic young people rushing to enroll.  In addition to them, there were also prominent figures from all walks of life in the Northeast who came to congratulate, and it was very lively.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 320: The Principal’s Speech

    Directly in the north of the playground, there is a rectangular commanding platform about ten meters long and three meters wide.  Several orderlies are placing microphones, tables, chairs and other items on the stage.  The crowd below the stage was talking and making noises.  Not long after the orderlies completed their preparations, a high-pitched shout came: "General Zhang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the National Revolutionary Army, has arrived!" The person calling the message was Guo Zhong. With his shout, the original  The bustling crowd quickly quieted down, and everyone turned their attention to the general platform.  I saw a young officer, accompanied by a group of people, walking up to the general stand with his head held high.  “Following Zhang Xinghan were Zang Shiyi, Wang Yizhe and representatives from all walks of life in the Northeast, and finally Guo Zhong and other guards.  “Look, that’s Commander-in-Chief Zhang, I’ve seen his photo.” Someone in the crowd began to whisper.  "Really? Let me take a look. Hey, that tall brother in front of you, can you squat down and let me take a look at Commander-in-Chief Zhang." A short and enthusiastic young man said excitedly.  What he got in return was a blank look from the big man in front of him.  When Zhang Xinghan walked to the middle of the general stage, all the students were excited. It is no exaggeration to say that a large number of them came here because of Zhang Xinghan's name.  Now Zhang Xinghan has not only become the most shining anti-Japanese general of the Chinese nation, but also an idol in the eyes of countless passionate young people and patriots, and a role model to follow.  It is much greater than the star effect of later generations.  Their admiration for Zhang Xinghan has reached a very fanatical level. It is foreseeable that this fanaticism will continue to heat up after they complete their studies at Longxing Military Academy and enter the army.  Their principal, the God of War in their hearts, will be the support for their belief in winning in all directions and bloody battlefields, with only one word from Zhang Xinghan.  Even if they knew it was death, they would definitely execute it without hesitation.  Zhang Xinghan glanced at the more than a thousand new students below the general stage with a burning gaze, and said solemnly: "Brothers and colleagues, I, Zhang Xinghan, would like to first welcome you to the Northeast and to Longxing Military Academy. The purpose of our school is,  It is to cultivate more military talents for the country. I hope you can work hard and study hard to serve the motherland and serve the country on the battlefield! Here, on behalf of the Northeast Frontier Army Command and Mr. Jiang Baili, the Vice President of Longxing Military Academy, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.  You express a warm welcome!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Zang Shi Yibian took the lead in applauding. Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit. More than a thousand students in the audience also followed suit with excitement, and the playground burst into thunderous applause.  .  Enduring.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand with a smile, signaling everyone to be quiet.  Before he could ask a question, a man who was closer to the general platform said excitedly: "General Zhang, can I ask you a question." Zhang Xinghan looked at him.  He said with great interest: "Of course, please tell me." "Before we came, we heard that you will be the principal of Longxing Military Academy. Is this true?" the young man asked.  Feeling that he forgot to introduce his position just now, Zhang Xinghan laughed at himself and nodded: "I'm sorry. I forgot to announce something to everyone just now, thanks to this brother's question that reminded me. Now, I solemnly add to everyone.  One thing is that I, Zhang Xinghan, will be the principal of Longxing Military Academy from now on, and the vice-principal is the famous Mr. Jiang Baili, who is also the chief of staff of our Northeast Frontier Defense Force." Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, the questioner came.  The young man who spoke took the lead and shouted: "Great, we are proud to have a principal like you. We must study hard and follow the principal to the death!" "Study hard and follow the principal to the death!" "Follow the principal to the death!"  The students present were all excited and shouted in unison to express the suppressed admiration in their hearts.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded, raising his hands slightly to appease the students who were excited in response.  The opening ceremony ended in a joyful and high-spirited atmosphere, and students began to register and move in according to normal procedures.  As soon as the ceremony was completed, Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe and others hurriedly got into the car and returned to Jilin.  The fact that he was about to enter the DPRK showed that he had finished his work, and Zhang Xinghan did not want to delay it for a moment.  When the car arrived at the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yizhe got out of the car and walked inside.  At this time, in the war room of the headquarters, Jiang Baili was busy with a group of combat staff.  &nbsp; When they saw Zhang Xinghan coming back, they all stood up and saluted.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand casually and said: "Okay, don't stick to these customs." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and asked Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, how is the progress of the battle plan?" Jiang Baili hurriedly replied  : "Commander, we are in intensive discussions to rush the production, and it is expected to be completed tomorrow." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded after hearing this and said: "How is the troop assembly and material deployment going?" "Everything is going smoothly.  "Every unit is on its way to its destination, commander, please rest assured," Jiang Baili said.  "That's good. You can continue your work. I'm going home to say goodbye before the war. We'll set off for Anton tomorrow." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he turned and left.  Jiang Baili and others continued their busy work. Wang Yizhe followed out, stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Xinghan and said, "Xinghan." Huh?  Zhang Xinghan turned around when he heard the sound and said, "Uncle Wang, are you okay?" Wang Yizhe looked at him and said seriously: "Don't forget to buy Ruoying some food when you go to the street later. She is pregnant with Liujia now. Like  Damn it! Stay with her and don't come back tonight. Chief of Staff Jiang and I are here. If anything happens, I will send someone to notify you." "Yes, I understand." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "Go, be careful on the road and bring more guards." Wang Yizhe said with a satisfied smile and waved his hand.  After getting in the car, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go to North Street!" "Yes." Guo Zhong nodded happily, drove the car himself and rumbled away from the headquarters.  About a platoon of guards quickly followed in a car to protect the whole process.  After arriving on the street, he found a few shops and bought a lot of supplements and various snacks before Zhang Xinghan took the guards back to his home.  It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a supermarket, especially to buy things for my wife. Well, it feels really good.  Soon after arriving home, Zhang Xinghan carried a few things and got out of the car. When the guards guarding the door of his house saw Zhang Xinghan arriving, they cheered up and stood up to salute: "Maintained seat." Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly in response, and took Guo  Zhong walked towards his house carrying a lot of supplements and snacks.  In the yard, his father Zhang Yuxi was reading a book, but his mother and Wang Ruoying were missing.  Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Yuxi raised her head, and when she saw Zhang Xinghan, she was overjoyed and said, "Xinghan, why are you back?" "Dad, the army is going out tomorrow. I'll come back to see you, mother, and Ruoying."  " Zhang Xinghan looked around and said, "Hey, where are Ruoying and her mother? And Sister Zhou, why aren't they here? " Zhang Yuxi said, "Your mother and Sister Zhou went to the hospital with Ruoying for a routine check-up, I guess.  It's time to come back in a while." "Oh." Zhang Xinghan handed all the things he bought to Guo Zhong, and he took them into the room and sat down.  "Dad, here, smoke one." Zhang Xinghan took out a pipe.  Zhang Yuxi waved her hand, took out the dry pipe gun from under the table and said, "I can't get used to smoking that one, but I still like this one, hehe." "Dad, I'm going to lead the troops on an expedition in a few days." General Zhang Xinghan  He put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a match, lit it, and smoked.  "Oh? Didn't we just finish fighting Little Japan and Big Nose? Why do we have to fight again?" Zhang Yuxi asked in confusion.  "This time is different. This time I will lead my troops to march into the Korean Peninsula! Attack the Japanese." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Korea?" Zhang Yuxi had finished eating. When she saw Zhang Xinghan nodded resolutely, she sighed and said, "Xinghan, dad is old and I don't understand the war. Dad and your mother only hope that you and your  My brother is all safe and sound, but my man has ambitions in all directions. Now that you have a heavy army, you should make some contributions to the country and the nation. Therefore, this time you lead your athletes to go abroad for an expedition. Dad supports you mentally. Dad  I'm also proud of you." "Well, don't worry, dad, my brother and I will be fine," Zhang Xinghan said.  "By the way, will Xinghua join the army in the war this time? He hasn't been home for several months." Zhang Yuxi asked.  "He is now an air force commander. He is busy with military affairs and is far away from home, so it is difficult for him to have time to come back. But fortunately, his sister-in-law and Wei Guo have moved there, and his sister-in-law takes care of his daily life. You  He Niang, don’t worry too much. “As for this overseas expedition, we need more air force, and his regiment should join the battle,” Zhang Xinghan said.  While the two men were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw his mother Liu Liping and Sister-in-law Zhou walking in with Wang Ruoying on their backs. All three of them were beaming with joy.  &nbsp; Several of Mrs. Zhou’s children have gone to school, so I am not with them.  "Mom, Ruoying, Sister-in-law Zhou, you are back!" Zhang Xinghan stood up and greeted him with a smile.  Sister-in-law Zhou said hello and quickly went to prepare tea. Liu Liping said: "Xinghan, you are back. Yingzi has missed you during this time." "Mother!" Wang Ruoying's pretty face turned red and she pulled Liu Liping's hand.  The skirt of clothes expresses dissatisfaction.  Liu Liping smiled and said, "Okay, you two talk, I'll go make some delicious food for you." While speaking, she touched Wang Ruoying's hair with a kind face. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was as close as mother and daughter.  You can see it.  "Master, come to the kitchen to help." Liu Liping walked to Zhang Yuxi and said.  "What? Help? I know how to cook?" Zhang Yuxi didn't react for a moment.  “Oh, I’ll just come over if I ask you to come over. Why do you become so confused as you get older!” (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 321: Send troops into Korea

    After her parents left, Wang Ruoying took Zhang Xinghan back to their bedroom.  As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Xinghan hugged her into his arms, pressing his big mouth on her bright red lips, sucking in the refreshing and sweet juice wantonly, and his two fleshy tongues lingered together.  This kiss didn’t end until both of them were out of breath, and Wang Ruoying was holding back until her cheeks turned red.  " Seeing his wife becoming more and more plump, with the pair of towering pepper breasts on her chest rising and falling as she couldn't breathe, Zhang Xinghan lovingly held her tightly in his arms.  Nestling in Zhang Xinghan's arms, Wang Ruoying said calmly: "What's wrong? Are you going to go on an expedition again?" "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan was not surprised by his wife's ice and snow intelligence, but just hugged her tighter.  "When are you leaving?" Wang Ruoying raised her head and looked at him and asked.  "If there are no accidents, it should be tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan said.  “Don’t leave tonight, can you stay with me?” Wang Ruoying’s eyes begged.  Zhang Xinghan felt loved in his heart and nodded immediately: "Yes, I promise you." At night, the two of them hugged each other and lay on the bed, feeling Wang Ruoying's plump and soft body, Zhang Xinghan inevitably had a normal physiological reaction.  Feeling his firmness, Wang Ruoying was so shy that she just noticed Zhang Xinghan's big hand reaching into her chest and clothes, and suddenly stopped him: "Xinghan, don't do this. The doctor said that I am at a critical moment and must prohibit, prohibit that.  ." "Then I'll touch it, no," Zhang Xinghan felt funny.  "That won't work either." Wang Ruoying caught a piece of pepper milk and couldn't help but gasp, as if she had been given an electric shock. She quickly stopped his hand and said, "No, if you do this, I, I will be very happy."  I feel uncomfortable" After saying that, Wang Ruoying's fair cheeks were already as red as a ripe red apple.  Zhang Xinghan smiled dryly.  He withdrew his hand, no longer acting rashly, and prepared to take a deep breath to suppress the fire of desire that had been ignited.  Realizing that Zhang Xinghan had been silent all this time, Wang Ruoying thought he was angry. After all, as someone who has experienced it, she already knew that it would be very uncomfortable for a man to hold it back.  Feeling guilty, she touched Zhang Xinghan lightly and shouted, "Xinghan, what's wrong with you?" "Huh? I'm fine?" Zhang Xinghan didn't dare to hug her again at this time, for fear of being possessed by lust.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan’s lukewarm speech, Wang Ruoying became more determined in her preconceived ideas.  I thought Zhang Xinghan was really angry.  She gritted her teeth and said softly with a blushing face: "For the sake of our baby, I have wronged you. Although I can't, can't give it to you, but, I know, know" She was shy before she said the next few words.  got into bed.  Coming to Zhang Xinghan's lower abdomen, his little hand tremblingly reached towards Zhang Xinghan's mysterious place.  "Oh!" Zhang Xinghan's Yu Huo, who had finally suppressed it, burst out again when she touched him lightly.  The second brother Zhang was even more unsatisfied and almost hit Wang Ruoying's face that could make water drip.  Wang Ruoying was shocked and ashamed. She took off Zhang Xinghan's clothes and held them with her little hands.  Jade opened his mouth slightly and lowered his head.  "Oh! Ah!" Zhang Xinghan never expected that Wang Ruoying would do this for him. He was happy, surprised, and moved.  Countless pores opened up and a numbing sensation spread throughout his body, making him scream.  Wang Ruoying was obviously inexperienced. Zhang Xinghan gritted his teeth in pain when his teeth touched him several times, but he also felt a different kind of excitement.  As the quilt continued to be pushed up, Zhang Xinghan's breathing became more and more rapid. Practice makes perfect, and the lilac soft tongue became more and more dexterous. Finally, Zhang Xinghan spurted out directly, reaching the extreme.  Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan left home in high spirits and returned to the headquarters by car.  "Commander, you are back!" Jiang Baili and Wang Yizhe came out hand in hand.  "Well, how is the battle plan?" Zhang Xinghan saw Jiang Baili's red eyes with occasional bloodshot eyes, and immediately asked with concern: "Chief of Staff, did you not sleep all night last night?" "The battle plan has been fully formulated.  , we can set off." Jiang Baili said.  Wang Yizhe on the side couldn't help but said: "Xinghan, the chief of staff didn't sleep a wink all night yesterday. He led the combat staff and worked hard all night to get this combat plan out." "Thank you!" Zhang Xinghan was moved and also  I feel a little guilty. I am enjoying the fairy-like happiness at home, but Jiang Baili and other subordinates are busy all night long because of the war. It is really unreasonable. I will have to go back to this house less often in the future, otherwise I will be eaten three or four times a night.  As time goes by, whoever??I can't stand it.  Recalling that after Wang Ruoying was defeated by her for the first time, she gained power and refused to spare others, saying that she wanted to squeeze all Zhang Xinghan out in order to relieve the worry of having nowhere to vent his sexual desires in the battle, Zhang Xinghan felt a surge of emotion.  How could Zhang Xinghan refuse his wife who is so considerate?  In fact, even if you want to refuse, you can't resist. Usually men are basically a vulnerable group in such situations.  "Chief of Staff, your health is important. We will also witness the re-rise and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, stand proudly in the east of the world, and witness China becoming the world's superpower. Don't risk your health like this in the future." Zhang Xinghan said, "Thank you very much, Commander.  "Care, Baili will pay attention to everything." Jiang Baili said.  "Well, let's set off quickly. To keep it secret, we will take the train to Anton this time." Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes!" Jiang Baili and Wang Yizhe stood up at the same time and solemnly accepted the order.  On the same day, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe, Guo Zhong, Shen Xingye and others took a train from Jilin with a guard battalion and an infantry regiment of the 202nd Division.  Since the only railway lines in the northeastern region at this time were the South-Manchuria Railway and the North-Manchuria Railway, the train they took had to go west from Jilin, first arrive in Changchun, then go south along the railway, and after arriving in Shenyang,  Pass by Benxi and run towards Andong Railway Station.  After such a roundabout journey, the distance has exceeded 1,200 miles. It took Zhang Xinghan and the others three full days of train journey before they arrived at Andong County.  At the same time, all the 200,000 troops of the Northeast Army have been assembled in place.  For this battle, except for the 211th Division in Rehe Province and the 200th Division stationed in Dalian and Jinzhou, all the remaining nine reorganized divisions were ordered to go to the border to prepare for fighting in North Korea.  In addition, in terms of artillery, three heavy artillery brigades, three air force flight regiments and a transport brigade were mobilized and all were assembled at military airports such as Dalian and Shenyang on standby, ready to take off for cross-border operations at any time.  The Independent Armored Tank Army also mobilized its entire army.  Based on the calculation of the above-mentioned troops, there are about 135,000 people in 9 reorganized divisions, more than 15,000 people in three heavy artillery brigades, about 45,000 people in the Armored Tank Independent Army, and more than 15,000 people in one air force division. Zhang Xinghan this time  The total strength of the combat troops mobilized has exceeded 200,000.  Among them, the number of tanks and combat vehicles is from 80 to 100 for each tank regiment directly under each division, for a total of nine tank regiments directly under the division.  The independent tank and armored corps has three divisions, each division has two tank regiments and one armored anti-aircraft artillery regiment, with a total of about 600 tanks.  Including the directly affiliated tank units, the number of tanks and armored vehicles assembled by the Northeast Border Guard this time exceeded 1,500.  "The number of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula does not exceed one hundred vehicles at most.  In terms of artillery, all artillery regiments directly under each division are equipped with uniform 105mm caliber howitzers. There are approximately 326 howitzers in 9 regiments.  The size of the heavy artillery brigade has increased, and the number of 150mm heavy howitzers in each brigade has increased to more than 90.  The total number of heavy artillery in the three brigades is close to more than 300. In addition, other integrated regiments are also equipped with battalion and company-level artillery units, preparing various field artillery, mountain artillery and mortars with a caliber of less than 100 mm.  There are as many as thousands of gates.  The artillery of the tank unit can also provide great fire support.  As for the Air Force, the entire Northeast Frontier Defense Force was dispatched, with nearly a thousand combat aircraft of various types.  As for the Japanese army, no matter the strength, the number of artillery, the number of tanks and armored vehicles, or the number of air force, it is far from being comparable to the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Among the 9 reorganized divisions, except for the 208th and 209th divisions, which were assembled from the Mudanjiang area to the Yanbian border for standby, the remaining seven divisions were all assembled at the Andong, Tonghua, and Kuandian lines.  The first division and three anti-aircraft artillery regiments of the independent tank and armored corps were mobilized and assembled in Yanbian, where they were combined with the 208th and 209th divisions to form the Northern Route Army.  The remaining seven reorganized divisions of the 201st, 202nd, 203rd, 204th, 205th, 206th, and 207th, two tank divisions, four tank regiments, and three heavy artillery brigades formed the Southern Route Army.  The South Route Army was divided into three groups, preparing to launch a surprise attack into the hinterland of North Korea in accordance with the combat objectives and routes formulated by Jiang Baili in advance.  When Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived in Anton, the 201st and 202nd divisions had already been assembled. Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the 201st division, and Li Zhenyuan, commander of the independent armored tank corps, and others rushed to the station to greet them.  "Commander!" Seeing Zhang Xinghan walking out of the train, Zhao Zhenfan, Li Zhenyuan and others saluted.  "Haha, just let the brothers wait, haha!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and saluted, and the group quickly got in the car and rushed to the general headquarters that had been set up in the county.  "Brother Guoping, how about it, are the troops ready?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "We are all ready, just waiting for your order, Commander.  " Zhao Zhenfan replied. Li Zhenyuan nodded and agreed: "Yes, to use a joke from our tank soldiers, if we don't fight, our tank tracks will get rusty!  "Haha, you brats, you tank troops are full of battles this time. Since ancient times, the ancients have used three thousand miles of rivers and mountains to describe the Korean Peninsula. This time our Chinese armored torrent has no other mission than to crush them all the way."  Pressure, let me penetrate the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and let our Chinese flag be planted in every corner of the peninsula!

    Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily, and then asked Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, please send a message to each division immediately, ask if they are all ready for battle, and report back immediately!" "Yes." Jiang Baili happily accepted the order and left.  Not long after, you can hear the radio station in the telecommunications room next door starting to beep non-stop.  Not long after, Jiang Baili turned back with a stack of messages and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, all reorganized divisions, heavy artillery brigades, and tank regiments have called back, saying that they are ready for battle and are just waiting for your order from the commander-in-chief.  "Okay!" Zhang Xinghan slammed the table and said sternly: "Without further ado, notify the Air Force to take off immediately. The heavy artillery brigades and direct artillery regiments immediately opened fire on the enemy. Half an hour later, the troops began to cross the Yalu River and head toward the peninsula.  Launch a full-scale attack!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan, and Li Zhenyuan stood up and responded at the same time, then turned around and left.  Zhang Xinghan gave the order and had already been prepared. Nine 105mm howitzer regiments, three 150 heavy artillery brigades, plus artillery units directly under each regiment, totaling thousands of large and small caliber artillery pieces, opened fire in less than two minutes.  Behind a forest on the other side of Sinuiju, about three hundred artillery pieces of various calibers opened fire one after another. For a moment, the ground shook and the sound of the cannons ejecting was deafening.  Hundreds of fireballs were wrapped in dazzling flames, dragging their long tail flames to draw a beautiful arc in the air, flying over the Yalu River, and smashing down towards the Japanese defensive position in Sinuiju.  .  The next moment, hundreds of fireballs smashed down, and a series of violent explosions occurred.  The monstrous flames rose into the sky with billowing black smoke, and the Japanese defense positions shook for a moment, and the flames soared into the sky.     at the same time.  The Japanese positions in the other two directions, Shuozhou and Manpu, were also attacked by fierce artillery fire.  In the Japanese garrison headquarters in Sinuiju, the garrison commander Colonel Inukai Ichiro was shocked by the sudden violent explosion.  He didn't even have time to put on his shoes before he ran out of his tea room with his command knife and asked in a anxious voice: "Where are the cannons?" An adjutant ran over in a panic.  Before saluting, he said: "Your Majesty Commander, no, no, it's the Chinese on the other side. They are launching violent artillery attacks on our coastal positions. Listen to the explosion. The size of their artillery is at least around a heavy artillery brigade!"  "Bagaya Road? A heavy artillery brigade? What do the Chinese want to do? What do our intelligence personnel do for food? How could we not notice anything at all?" Inukai Ichiro was furious when he heard this.  The adjutant lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, and asked: "Sir, what should we do next?" Inukai Ichiro took a few steps back and forth with a frown, and said immediately: "Send power to the Seoul headquarters immediately.  General Ningci Murura reported this! In addition, order all troops to prepare for battle!" "Hai!" the Japanese adjutant quickly bowed his head and left quickly.  On the Japanese army's position, the artillery bombardment by the Northeastern Border Guards continued, and violent explosions sounded one after another. Various bunkers and fortifications carefully built by the Japanese army were destroyed one after another in the violent explosions.  ……………………… Seoul, the headquarters of the Japanese Army in North Korea.  Goro Sakurada, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army in North Korea, walked out of the telecommunications room holding a message.  Go straight to Okamura Neji's office.  When he came to the door of the office, without even bothering to say hello, Sakurada Goro walked in quickly and reported as he walked: "General Okamura, something serious has happened." Okamura Neji, who was studying the art of war, heard this and said disapprovingly:  "Sakurada-kun, what happened? You are so panicked." This certainty comes from the intelligence he has. Zhang Xinghan is building industries in the Northeast, building military schools, and expanding troops. He is very busy.  They are seizing the time to regain their energy. How can they have the time and strength to launch an attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Korea?  Sakurada Goro put all the telegrams in his hand in front of Okamura Neji and said: "General, take a look. This is our army stationed in Sinuiju. Shuozhou and Manpo have just sent it.  The urgent telegram stated that they had been violently bombarded by the Chinese army and the situation might have changed! " "What?" Okamura Neiji was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the telegram, and read it hurriedly.  After reading it, Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed. Suddenly, he slapped the table and shouted in frustration: "No, the Chinese are probably going to launch a full-scale attack on our troops stationed in North Korea!" Sakurada Goro heard this.  , hurriedly said: "Then General, what should we do? Should we report the matter to the base camp immediately and ask for assistance?"???  " "We don't need to report to the base camp for the time being. We will wait until we determine the enemy's true intentions.  "Okamura Neiji pondered for a while and said: "Sakurada-kun, you immediately order the main force of the 19th Division to go north and rush to the direction of Sinuiju and Shuoju. In addition, the 9th Division stationed near Tokugawa also wants to  March north, rush to support Manpu, and ensure the safety of Jiangjie!  " "Hai!  "Sakurada Goro suddenly lowered his head and responded, then quickly took the order and left with a saber in his hand. Not even ten minutes had passed since Neiji Okamura ordered the troops to rush for reinforcements. Hundreds of Zero Zeros from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force  Fighters, BF109 fighter jets, Stuka dive bombers, and HE111 medium-sized bombers flew directly over the Japanese defense areas in Sinuiju, Shuoju, and Manpo, and began rapid aerial firepower and artillery bombardment.  , carried out all-round super firepower attacks on the Japanese positions. Under the joint attack of Air Force bombers and artillery units, the Japanese positions in Sinuiju were shattered, all defenses were destroyed, and there was thick smoke and fire everywhere.  The screams of the soldiers were endless. From time to time, Japanese soldiers and Korean puppet troops were thrown into the sky like embroidered balls, and then fell violently. As a flight leader, Zhang Xinghua personally piloted a Zero fighter this time.  The team air raided Sinuiju. Looking down from his point of view, he saw that the flames and gunpowder smoke on the ground had risen hundreds of meters high, and the visibility was greatly reduced. His dive-type strafing could only be carried out based on the approximate direction.  After a round of strafing, the two Stukas following behind them made a sharp roar, and several aerial bombs accurately landed on the Japanese positions, which were already scarred and blazing.  To make matters worse, the artillery bombardment and air raids continued for more than half an hour, and during this period, the bridge-building tanks of the tank armored force had already taken advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to erect steel bridges. The sound of gunfire had just begun to stop.  Before our own aircraft had completely returned, the infantry and tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeast Army, which had been waiting for a long time, were dispatched. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles took the lead. Tens of thousands of Northeast Army officers and soldiers made earth-shattering shouts of killing.  As the tanks and armored troops crossed the Yalu River and stormed towards the Japanese positions! (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 323: Devastated

    On the fragmented Japanese defensive positions filled with gunpowder, when the artillery fire of the Northeast Border Guards began to extend and weaken, the surviving Japanese officers and soldiers hiding in the fortifications rushed out one after another and quickly entered the position, preparing to fight.  The Japanese army’s position was based on the original Yalu River Bridge as the front line and was set up near the river. It was about two miles wide and relatively deep. It relied on mountains at the back and the dangerous pass extended to the direction of Sinuiju. The troops and firepower were arranged in stages to block the attack in stages.  The torrent of steel composed of hundreds of Panzer IV tanks and German armored vehicles crossed the steel bridge at the fastest speed, guiding thousands of vanguard infantry following them to quickly approach the Japanese positions.  Since the most forward position along the river was hit by the most intensive and violent ground-to-air firepower from the Northeastern Border Guards, all the fortification trenches were lost, so most of the Japanese defense forces are now deployed in fortifications five to six hundred meters away from the river bank.  A group of No. 4 tank artillerymen who were the first to cross the river and roared at the forefront began to conduct large-scale indiscriminate bombardment on the Japanese positions hundreds of meters away.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  From time to time, some Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches preparing to face the enemy were hit by the shock wave or shrapnel of the explosion. Their screams were drowned by the explosion and they died on the spot.  "Kill! Charge!" Thousands of officers and soldiers shouted in unison. Behind them, the officers and soldiers of the second echelon were still swarming across the river.  Soon, under the cover of the tank troops, they assaulted within 500 meters, and the remaining light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were already firing one after another.  From time to time, bullets whizzed through the gaps between the tanks, and the Northeast Army's tanks and guns fired in unison, effectively suppressing the Japanese machine gun fire points.  “If none of the Japanese machine gun points can finish a magazine or a bullet plate, they will be targeted by the tanks and artillery of the Northeast Frontier Army, and they will be called out one by one with high-explosive armor-piercing shells, turning them into a pile of ruins.  With the tank troops covering and clearing the way, the infantry charge went smoothly.  The combination of foot and tank, crushing all the way, is invincible.  This is simply an asymmetrical battle. Not only did the Northeastern Border Guards attack suddenly, they also used extremely powerful artillery and air force to carry out fire strikes.  " Later, hundreds of tanks formed an assault group to conduct a breakthrough attack. Such a powerful armored tank assault was simply not something that the Japanese army could contend with at this stage.  The two sides are not equal in terms of strength, weapons, artillery and other aspects.  So the outcome of this offensive and defensive battle was doomed from the beginning.  The Northeastern Border Guards' offensive was like a tidal wave, and they were overwhelming all the way. They broke through the Japanese field defense positions one after another in three hours, and assaulted the city of Sinuiju. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded Sinuiju.  In Sinuiju City, the Japanese garrison headquarters.  After the adjutant reported the situation between the enemy and the enemy and the battle losses of the troops, the Japanese commander Ichiro Inukai was already ashen-faced.  In just three hours, more than two-thirds of his garrison was lost in battle, and all defensive positions outside the city were lost.  They had lost countless weapons and ammunition, and were surrounded by the Northeast Army Corps. They were already in despair.  Apart from being disheartened, Inukai Ichiro was even more shocked.  Although reinforcements from the 19th Division are already on the way, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for him to hold on until they arrive.  What shocked Inukai Ichiro was the strength of the Northeastern Army, his own garrison and the puppet army.  There were more than five thousand people, and almost all of them were wiped out in less than four hours.  The hand-to-hand combat that the imperial army was so proud of in the past has completely lost its use when faced with the offensive of the Northeastern Border Guards.  The individual firepower, artillery fire, and machine gun firepower of both sides are not at the same level at all.  "Compared with the China Army, my own men are like an old-fashioned army armed with cold weapons that is behind an era. They have no power to fight back against such a mechanized force that is almost armed with steel.  Listening to the faint sound of gunfire and explosions outside the city, the adjutant on the side urged and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, the situation is critical. Please decide quickly, what should we do?" Inukai Ichiro looked up at him.  , said expressionlessly: "Send power to General Okamura Neiji. Our unit encountered an unprecedented fierce attack by the Chinese. After four hours of fierce fighting, we lost two-thirds of our troops and lost all positions. The war situation has reached an irreversible point."  , the humble Inukai Ichiro is determined to lead his troops to survive and die in Sinuiju, fight to the end, and serve His Majesty the Emperor!" The adjutant's face turned pale, but after seeing Inukai Ichiro's indifferent eyes, he quickly lowered his head: "Hai!"  Turn around and take the order to leave.  In Andong County, the frontline headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  After Jiang Baili hung up the phone, he said to Zhang Xinghan with joy: "Commander, reporting from the front, our army has moved outside Sinuiju CityBy then, all Japanese military strongholds and fortifications had been cleared, and Sinuiju was successfully surrounded.  " "What about the direction of Shuozhou and Manpu?  How is the battle going?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Similar to Sinuiju, the Japanese troops in these two places are weaker than Shuozhou and Manpu. They are mainly puppet troops. They have no resistance in the face of the steel torrent of our army.  "Jiang Baili said. Zhang Xinghan stood up and walked to the map. After staring at it for a while, he raised his hand and told Jiang Baili: "Tell the attacking troops, especially the tanks and armored troops, not to be reluctant to fight. Leave the aftermath to the infantry and leave a certain amount of troops to continue.  attack, the rest of the troops quickly advanced into the hinterland of North Korea, and everything was implemented according to the original combat plan!  "    "yes.  Jiang Baili responded and asked: "Commander, is the Northern Route Army ready to set off?"  " "There is no rush. When we advance the battle line to the Dingzhou line and completely attract the Japanese army's strength and attention, they will set off again to catch them by surprise and catch the Japanese by surprise. Just imagine, if our Northern Route Army  A 50,000-strong armored force suddenly arrived at the gates of Seoul. What would be the reaction of the Japanese army in North Korea?  "Zhang Xinghan said. "The morale of the army is bound to be in chaos, and it will be defeated thousands of miles away!  "Jiang Baili continued, admiring Zhang Xinghan in his heart. When it comes to fighter planes, the ability to predict the enemy's reaction, and the use of tactics, Jiang Baili is ashamed of himself. "The Japanese should not be able to figure out our strategic intentions yet, and they must not have responded to the mainland.  Ask for reinforcements, but once Sinuiju, Shuoju and other places are lost, they will immediately come to their senses and ask for reinforcements from the mainland.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and said: "In other words, the time left for us may be less than half a month. Within half a month, we must advance the front to the hinterland of South Korea. It is best to capture it within ten days."  In Seoul, as long as the main force of the Japanese army in Korea is solved, we can immediately blockade and seize the coastal ports. The most important thing is to seize the military airport on the Koryo Peninsula. Use a powerful air force to deter the Japanese naval fleet from deploying military power on the Koryo Peninsula and force them to abandon Koryo.  peninsula.  " "It is not that difficult to capture the Korean Peninsula within half a month.  "Jiang Baili frowned and said. "We have an army of 200,000 and more than 1,400 tanks and armored vehicles. All the troops are fully mechanized. If the war goes well, within half a month, we can beat the arrival of Japanese reinforcements and capture Goryeo.  The peninsula is still no problem.  If the decisive battle in Seoul cannot be won quickly, our army will change its strategy and use part of its troops to encircle rather than fight. The rest of the troops will rush to seize important coastal ports, blockade the entire Koryo Peninsula, cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Koryo Island and the outside world, and then return  Go over and eliminate the Japanese troops within the encirclement.  "Zhang Xinghan said very confidently. "He would not tell Jiang Baili that during the Korean War in later generations, the North Korean People's Army only had seven infantry divisions plus several other arms. It defeated the South Korean army and almost unified the entire Korea.  Peninsula. Not to mention that it has 200,000 battle-hardened elite troops, and comparing the various weapons and equipment of the two sides, the advantages of the Northeast Border Guard are far more powerful than the Japanese military equipment of this era.  Compared with the South Korean Army, a puppet army created by the US military in the 1950s, the only point may be that the Japanese army has a stronger sense of combat than the South Korean army. However, the desperate samurai spirit of bayonet fighting is in the face of the overwhelming rain of steel bullets.  Under this situation, there is no other way but death. Whether it is the Soviet offensive in the Far East at the end of World War II or the steel fire strikes of the US military in the middle and late stages of the Pacific, they all show the truth that in modern warfare, firepower comes first and weapons and equipment come first.  Not all countries’ armies can compare with the Chinese Volunteer Army in the 1950s. Moreover, the equipment of the Volunteer Army at that time was much better than that of the Japanese army at this time, with all kinds of Soviet-style and American-style equipment available.  ………… Seoul, Japanese Army Headquarters. Lieutenant General Sakurada Goro stood up and saluted Okamura Neiji with an extremely solemn expression: “General, all farewell messages have been sent from the directions of Sinuiju, Shuoju, and Manpo.  "    "What?  Okamura Neji was shocked when he heard this, "Sakurada-kun, are you sure you're not mistaken?"  Farewell message?  "Yes, the commanders of the three places all stated in the cables that the enemy's firepower was strong and the offensive was rapid. The Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army suffered heavy losses within a few hours. They lost all their positions and were surrounded by the Chinese Army.  Among them, it is only a matter of time before all the jade is broken.  " Sakurada Goro nodded. After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji looked horrified after reading the telegram and said: "In just a few hours, the Chinese broke through the imperial army almost simultaneously.  How astonishing were the entire border defenses, the air force and artillery power they used, and the number of ground tanks and armored units dispatched?  ”&nbsp; After saying that, Okamura Neiji suddenly slammed the table and suddenly realized: "No, I understand, the Chinese are probably planning to capture the entire Korean Peninsula!" "Ah? Didn't the general say that Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Army was seriously injured?  , Do you need a rest urgently?" Sakurada Goro looked puzzled.  "Don't worry about so much for now, immediately send electricity to the enemy's 19th Division and 9th Division, stop the advance immediately, and retreat to Dingzhou Tokugawa!" Okamura Neiji made an immediate decision.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!

 Volume 1: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 324: Unstoppable momentum

    Seeing Okamura Neji's gloomy expression, Sakurada Goro did not dare to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and said "Hai" and quickly conveyed the order.  After arranging everything, Sakurada Goro returned and said to Okamura Neji: "General, according to your analysis, should we ask for help from the base camp? After all, we only have less than 70,000 troops." In Sakura.  In Tiangoro's eyes, the Imperial Alliance Army, composed of tens of thousands of Koreans, could not be regarded as a real combat force at all.  "This is indeed the case. When fighting a victorious battle and going smoothly, these puppet troops may be able to display good combat effectiveness and extraordinary performance.  But if the war encounters a setback, most of these puppet troops will collapse at the first touch and be defeated like a mountain.  Not only did they repeatedly lose their positions, they also caused chaos to the Japanese defense.  Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "Immediately send electricity to the base camp to ask for help. The Chinese Army has assembled heavy troops across the Yalu River and launched an attack on the Koryo Peninsula. It can be clearly confirmed that the enemy's target is the entire Koryo Peninsula. To ensure  The last advance base of the imperial army in Northeast Asia, the base camp is requested to quickly mobilize reinforcements and rush to the Koryo Peninsula! " "Hai!" Sakurada Goro responded with his head suddenly, and immediately took the order with his saber in hand.  After Sakurada Goro left, Okamura Neji sat down and murmured to himself, this lunatic who doesn't act according to common sense is so terrible. After all, he has become a serious problem for the imperial army  ……… Outside Sinuiju City, after receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, two reorganized divisions and several tank regiments withdrew, leaving only the four reorganized battalions of the 201st Division to continue the siege.  The other main forces continued to advance southward along the highway, pointing directly at Longchuan County.  At this time, the reinforcements of the Japanese 19th Division were still a hundred miles away, and the defenders of Longchuan County had less than one regiment of puppet troops and a squadron of Japanese soldiers.  As the vanguard force, the direct tank regiment of the 200th Division of the Northeast Army took the lead in arriving at the gate of Longchuan County.  More than a hundred Panzer IV tanks immediately launched an attack on the city, and hundreds of 75mm tank guns carried out intensive cluster shelling on the Japanese and puppet army's city defenses.  , Cannonballs flew in groups inside and outside Longchuan City.  This small Goryeo town soon turned into a blazing hell. Fire and smoke were everywhere in the city. The violent explosion almost destroyed more than 30% of the buildings in the city.  The fortifications of the Japanese and puppet troops at the top of the city suffered a devastating blow.  The wall was riddled with bullet marks and devastated, and the Japanese sack fortifications were blown to pieces.  The broken limbs and broken arms of the Japanese and puppet troops were everywhere inside and outside the city.  This is not a county town in China, so the tank regiment had no worries at all when attacking. All kinds of incendiary bombs of mass destruction, explosive bombs and even poison gas bombs were used at once.  The emergency attack lasted less than an hour. When all the Japanese soldiers in the city were dead and injured, the Korean soldiers quickly raised the white flag.  All surrendered with their guns.  By the time the follow-up infantry and tank units swarmed in, the tank regiment directly under the 200th Division had captured Longchuan County, leaving only one company to maintain law and order and guard the prisoners, while the rest of the main force continued to advance southward non-stop.  Other troops also resolutely implemented the orders of the general headquarters. According to the battle plan and march route prepared by Jiang Baili and other staff in advance, leaving only a small number of troops, the whole army followed the footsteps of the directly affiliated tank regiment and advanced southward non-stop.  The offensives of the two northeastern armies in the direction of Soju and Manpo were more rapid because the Japanese troops deployed in these two places were far less than those in Sinuiju.  The main defense force is composed of local puppet troops.  So just after the local Japanese commander sent a farewell message to Okamura Neji.  There were puppet soldiers who rebelled in front of the battlefield, surrendered to the Northeast Frontier Guards, and directly attacked the Japanese army to counterattack. These puppet soldiers did not have the courage and strength.  But their surrender.  This directly led to the complete collapse of the Japanese defense. The opportunity was not to be missed. The two Northeastern armies took the opportunity to launch a final fierce attack on the enemies in Shuozhou and Manpu, and finally annihilated the remaining Japanese troops.  Directly captured Shuozhou and Manpu.  With no worries at all, the two Northeastern armies dispatched their troops and advanced southward at full speed.  When the first line of troops captured Longchuan, the second and third lines of troops had already captured Jiangjie, Turtle City and other places respectively, and their troops were directed towards Ningcheng and Dingzhou.  The Japanese army does not have many troops in the above-mentioned areas, and the garrison force is mostly composed of Koreans.  And these Korean people have been oppressed and humiliated by the Japanese for a long time. In addition, some time ago, "Japanese troops" continued to come to their vast rural areas to burn, kill, and loot, and stole a lot of food.  After they saw the power of the Northeast Army, they had long hated the Japanese and immediately regarded the Northeast Border Guard as the savior to rescue them from the sea of ??suffering.  One after anotherNot only did he surrender, he immediately turned into a Chinese traitor who was leaning towards China, leading the way for the Northeast Border Guards and providing a lot of information about the deployment of Japanese troops.  With the help of these Goryeo sticks, the three-way Northeastern Army advanced very quickly. In addition, the North Korean puppet troops surrendered and revolted everywhere along the way. The Northeastern Army advanced two hundred meters in just one day.  Here, they came into contact with the defense forces of the 19th Division and the 9th Division, which had just retreated to Dingzhou and Tokugawa.  Andong County, within the headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "Commander, the troops have successively entered the vicinity of the outskirts of Dingzhou. The Japanese have been prepared. Since the troops are resting and replenishing fuel, and it is already night, the troops have stopped attacking. Both Zhao Zhenfan and General Wang Yizhe have called to ask for instructions whether to attack overnight.  ?" Jiang Baili reported the battle situation to Zhang Xinghan.  "How is our army's logistics and transportation?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The Korean people seemed to welcome our army. Not only did the puppet troops surrender a lot, but the local people were also very enthusiastic and took the initiative to help us lead the way. Therefore, the logistics and transportation are going smoothly for the time being." Jiang Baili said.  "That's good. With no worries about logistics, the troops can attack with confidence." Zhang Xinghan nodded happily.  "Commander, do you mean to attack overnight?" Jiang Baili asked.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan nodded, Jiang Baili said: "Commander, if we attack at night, our air force will not be able to provide fire support. I am afraid the casualties will be higher than during the day." "I know, but our time is precious, let alone one night.  One hour may determine the outcome of this war. We have unrivaled tanks and armored forces. As long as they are used properly, it is no problem to defeat the Japanese army. Tell the attacking troops to work together and take advantage of our army's night fighting as soon as possible.  To capture Dingzhou. In a night battle, the chances are equal for both the offensive and defensive sides. " "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded in disbelief, then turned and walked towards the communication room next to him.  …………………… Sinuiju, in one afternoon, with the help of our own artillery and air force, the four infantry battalions of the 201st Division basically captured the entire city of Sinuiju, leaving only the Japanese headquarters.  A small area was still under Japanese control.  If it weren’t for the fact that it was night, the Northeast Army could basically end the battle with its air force alone.  In the Japanese military headquarters, a low-wattage light bulb emits a turbid yellow light, which is so desolate and conspicuous in the dark night.  Under the light, Inukai Ichiro had taken off his shirt and tied a samurai cloth on his forehead.  A saber was placed in front of him, which was his official saber.  At this time, gunshots and shouts of killing suddenly started again outside. After a rest, the troops of the 201st Division launched another attack on the Japanese army.  Listening to the shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire outside, Inukai Ichiro's eyes were filled with despair. After being silent for a long time, he finally reached out and picked up the Sakanana sword that had been with him for many years.  With a clang, the sharp saber was drawn out, and the blade reflected a dazzling light under the light.  Inukai Ichiro took a deep breath and held the saber behind his back with both hands. The tip of the saber was less than five centimeters away from his abdomen.  "Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire of Japan!" Inukai Ichiro shouted, his hands suddenly exerted force, and with a pop, the sharp saber instantly cut into his abdomen.  Inukai Ichiro's body was suddenly startled. He let out a miserable howl and exerted force on his hands. The saber in his hand actually cut another section horizontally, making a cross-shaped incision directly in his abdomen.  Blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth and abdomen. He raised his head with difficulty and stared at the bright red sun flag in front of him. Inukai Ichiro fell straight to the ground.  Became the first senior Japanese military officer to commit seppuku in Goryeo.  Not long after, after a burst of fierce gunfire, a group of heavily armed Northeastern officers and soldiers rushed into Inukai Ichiro's headquarters.  "Sir, an old Japanese soldier committed suicide." A Northeastern officer and soldier holding a Garand rifle kicked Ichiro Inukai, who had been dead for a long time, and turned to report.  "Don't worry about the dead. Clean the battlefield quickly. If you encounter anyone who can breathe, I will save you two bayonets. We don't want to live. After clearing Sinuiju, we will set off immediately. I heard that the main troops are already a hundred kilometers away.  ! "A Northeastern Army squad leader walked in with a submachine gun and said.  "Yes!" Several soldiers immediately turned around and walked out.  ……………………… Seoul, the war room of the Japanese military headquarters.  Okamura Neiji and his chief of staff officers gathered together.  “General, Sinuiju, Soju, Yongcheon, Guseong, and Gangjie have all been lost, and a large number of Koreans have surrendered.??Currently, the Chinese Army has advanced to Dingzhou and Tokugawa, and the 19th Division and the 9th Division are confronting it!  "After Goro Sakurada took the message from the communications staff, he reported to Okamura Neji. A group of senior Japanese military officers changed their colors after hearing this. It is more than two hundred miles from Sinuiju to Dingzhou, and there are many more along the way.  In the dangerous pass, the Northeastern Border Guards advanced more than two hundred miles in one day? It’s incredible. “If the Chinese Army does not attack at night later tonight, we will order the 19th Division and the 9th Division.  All Imperial Army troops in the Dingzhou and Tokugawa areas including the regiment were withdrawn.  "Okamura Neiji suddenly said something shocking. PS: Please vote for recommendation!

    "What?" The faces of the Japanese officers and soldiers present, including Goro Sakurada, changed drastically.  "General, Dingzhou is the last barrier to Pingcheng. Why should our army give up?" Goro Sakurada looked at his colleagues around him and asked boldly.  Okamura Neji did not speak, but stood up directly, turned and walked towards the combat map hanging on the wall, Sakurada Goro and others quickly followed.  Arriving in front of the map, Okamura Neji pointed at the map and turned to everyone: "Please see, before the war started, the main forces of the imperial army were deployed in Pingcheng, Seoul and the important port city of Busan in the rear.  In the three areas, the Chinese army has now assembled heavy troops, supplemented by air force and tanks, to form a powerful assault group. They have successively broken through several border cities in North Korea in one day and advanced for more than 100 kilometers. Their morale is like a rainbow and their momentum is strong.  As for our army's new defeat, the 19th Division and the 9th Division assembled only 30,000 troops on the Tokchuan and Dingzhou front lines. Compared with the Chinese, they were at an absolute disadvantage. Under such circumstances, they were at an absolute disadvantage with the Chinese Army.  It would be unwise to engage in a decisive battle with Dingzhou, because once daybreak, the Chinese army's air force would pose an extremely serious threat to the defensive forces of our two armies, so I decided to take the opportunity to take advantage of the Chinese army's rest and recuperation to abandon Dingzhou.  Tokugawa retreated his troops to Pingcheng overnight, transferred the main force of our army from Seoul to Pingcheng, joined forces with the 9th Division of the 19th Division, and fought a decisive battle with the Chinese Army in Pingcheng. In addition, he sent troops to the 3rd Division stationed in Pusan.  Generate electricity and order them to quickly mobilize the main force to rush north for reinforcements!" After Okamura Neiji's analysis, the Japanese staff officers present suddenly realized.  "The general is wise and humble, and I admire him greatly!" Goro Sakurada took the lead and said, fearing the horse.  "Hurry up and execute the order. I hope the Chinese Army will not attack tonight." Okamura Neiji waved his hands with a tired face.  "Hai." Sakurada Goro suddenly lowered his head and responded, then took the order and left.  ?????……… Okamura Neji’s wishful thinking was destined to be wrong, just when he changed his mind and wanted the 19th Division and the 9th Division to evacuate.  Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe, Li Zhenyuan and others directed their troops to launch a fierce attack on the front line of Dingzhou.  Nearly 100,000 troops from the 203rd and 204th Divisions of the second route and the 205th and 206th Divisions of the third route also arrived at the front line one after another.  A force of 150,000 troops and nearly a thousand tanks and chariots launched a full-scale fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the Tokugawa and Dingzhou front lines on a battlefield dozens of miles wide.  The gunfire that filled the sky in the dark night almost turned the night sky red, and countless illumination bombs slowly rose into the sky, illuminating the night like day.  There were gunshots and gunfire everywhere, deafening explosions and the tide-like shouts of killing from Northeastern officers and soldiers, one wave after another, with overwhelming momentum.  As soon as the battle started, Okamura Neiji’s order was conveyed to the headquarters of the 19th Division and the 9th Division.  The commanders of the two master regiments immediately complained and hurriedly sent a reply to Neji Okamura.  Seoul, after reading the telegram handed over by Goro Sakurada.  Okamura Neiji's face suddenly turned as cold as frost. He slapped the message in his hand on the conference table in front of him and gritted his teeth and said: "Bagaya Road, cunning Chinese people!" "Your Majesty General, we should  What should I do?" Sakurada Goro asked with a frown.  "Now that the fighter plane has disappeared, the 19th Division and the 9th Division can no longer retreat, otherwise it will directly lead to their defeat by the China Army, and the consequences will be catastrophic." Okamura Neiji said.  "But, General. Both the 19th Division and the 9th Division stated in the cables that the Chinese had assembled no less than a thousand tanks and chariots. From this, it is not difficult to judge that the strength of the Chinese Army is definitely more than 100,000. We  There are only 30,000 people. If we don't withdraw tonight, once the Chinese air force can join the battle, the Imperial Army's defense line will probably be broken by the Chinese Army by then!  It's beyond redemption," Sakurada Goro said urgently.  Okamura Neiji didn't know this, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Order to garrison Pingcheng and all our troops in Seoul. Set off immediately overnight to assist Dingzhou!" …………………… Dingzhou battlefield, 15th Northeast Frontier Defense Force  Wan Dajun, with tanks and armored units as the main force, launched successive fierce attacks on the Japanese defense line.  “However, the Japanese 19th Division and 9th Division had been waiting for work for a long time, and their troops were several times larger than those in Sinuiju and other places. Therefore, they continued to attack for more than two hours, but the attack did not achieve much results.  In order to facilitate the troops' operations, Zhang Xinghan handed over the command of the front line to Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan.  At this time, the two of them were in a hurry. Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wang Yicai and other division commanders were discussing countermeasures.     "totalCommander, the resistance of the little Japanese is quite tenacious. We have to find a way. We cannot continue the attack so blindly. The losses of the troops will be too great.  "Liu Guodong was the first to speak. Wang Yicai, Liu Jianguo, Wang Tiehan and others nodded in agreement. Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other and nodded: "Mr. Liu is right. I don't know if anyone has any good ideas. Let's brainstorm and hope that  There is no need to keep silent.  " "Sir, how about we use gas bombs?"  "Wu Chengfeng, deputy commander of the 204th Division, said. "Everyone looked at Wang Yizhe after hearing this, and Zhao Zhenfan said: "Deputy Commander Wu's method will not work. Our third regiment tried it in the attack just now. The little devil has done it before."  We have suffered great losses from gas bombs, and now we carry gas masks with us. They are not very effective. Moreover, the wind direction tonight is not right. If used on a large scale, it will be detrimental to our army.  " After hearing this, everyone nodded and could only give up. Wu Chengfeng said with some annoyance: "Damn it, it's so late at night, the air force fighter planes can't participate in the battle, and the artillery is basically blind. The hit rate is horribly low. It's easy for the little devils to hide and organize.  The death squads have blown up many of our tanks. What should we do?  " "Everyone, in my opinion, we can try the tactics that the little devils used to deal with us.  "Li Zhenyuan, commander of the Independent Tank and Armored Corps, suddenly said. "The devil's tactics?  Wang Yizhe's eyes lit up and he said: "You mean, contain it from the front and attack from the side with two wings?"  " "Yes, that's it. The Japanese used these tactics to deal with us before, but our commander-in-chief was aware of them in advance and made preparations. In addition, their roundabout troops lacked enough tanks and armored vehicles and their assault capabilities were limited, so they didn't  can succeed.  Thinking about it carefully, this tactic is indeed good. Especially when our army has sufficient troops and equipment and firepower advantages, we can ensure that our outflank assault force has enough tanks and powerful firepower. Once the outflank is successful, the Japanese will  The defensive positions outside the city will inevitably affect the whole body and collapse. By then, victory will not be far away from us.  "Li Zhenyuan nodded and analyzed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 326: Roundabout Tactics (Part 2) First update

    "Commander Li, please tell us your specific ideas and how our army should implement this roundabout tactic." Wang Yizhe said after listening to his analysis.  Li Zhenyuan nodded, reached for a command pole, pointed at the map and said: "First, we need to carefully analyze the Japanese army's troop deployment and the current enemy and enemy situations in Dingzhou and Tokugawa." Li Zhenyuan paused and continued:  "Looking from the map, the three areas of Dingzhou, Tokchuan, and Yongbyon are the main defense lines of the Japanese army. Our army of 150,000 troops basically launched an attack on this defense line of the Japanese army in an inverted 90-degree posture.  Dingzhou is an important city on the east coast, guarding the main transportation route to Pingcheng. Dezhou behind it is the center and support point of the Japanese defense line. As long as our army breaks through from any point in these three areas, the Japanese defense line will collapse.  The terrain of Yongbyon and Tokchon is relatively high, with dense hills and mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, my idea is to mobilize a tank regiment and an infantry regiment to form an assault force and pass through here north of Dingzhou. Of course  In order to cooperate with the actions of the assault force, the main force of our army needs to attack the Japanese army with all its strength, especially the artillery force, without any reservation, and carry out all-round carpet bombardment towards Dingzhoucheng and the positions outside the city. " Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others heard this and looked at the map.  , with surprise in his eyes: "Highland 230?" "Yes, it is Highland 230." Li Zhenyuan nodded.  "The altitude of Highland 230 marked on the map is more than 200 meters. Can our tanks and armored troops pass?" Liu Jianguo, commander of the 203rd Division, asked.  "Commander Liu, please rest assured. Before coming to the meeting, I led my people to conduct a reconnaissance on Highland 230. I found that there is a small road in Highland 230. Although it is a bit rugged, the tank troops can still pass it!" Li Zhenyuan said.  "Oh? Is there such a small road? The Japanese don't know about it, right?" Zhao Zhenfan's east bank.  "There are indeed Japanese and puppet troops garrisoned. They are not many, but they have built complete fortifications in the most dangerous places on the highlands. We must defend according to the danger, and we must defeat them if we want to pass." Li Zhenyuan said.  "The enemy is defending based on danger, and the highland terrain is not good for me. If we attack by force, it will be very difficult." Liu Guodong said.  Wang Yizhe looked at Li Zhenyuan and said: "Commander Li, you have personally reconnoitered 230 Hill, and you are most familiar with the situation. How confident are you that you can break through the Japanese defenses before the Japanese reinforcements arrive?" "Commander-in-Chief, Li is willing to personally  I can't say I'm confident about leading the assault force, but Li will definitely go all out!" Li Zhenyuan stood up and said seriously.  Zhao Zhenfan said: "Zhenyuan is the founder of our tank and armored forces. When it comes to the use of armored forces, except for the commander-in-chief, no one in our army can surpass him. I think it is feasible for him to lead the team himself." Wang Yizhe clicked.  He nodded and said: "Then let's do it, Commander Li. You will personally lead the attack. Our other troops will fully cooperate with you." "Yes. I will go and prepare now." Li Zhenyuan responded loudly, then turned and left  go.  After Li Zhenyuan left, Wang Yizhe ordered everyone present: "Everyone, go and prepare. All units must strengthen their offensive. Cover the roundabout actions of the assault troops!" "Yes!" Liu Jianguo, Wang Tiehan and others suddenly agreed in unison.  , immediately turned and left.  More than half an hour later, a tank and armored unit and thousands of Northeastern Army infantry arrived near Highland 230, about five kilometers away from the main battlefield.  The night is as dark as ink, and I can't see my fingers.  Dozens of tanks led the way.  Arriving at the bottom of the high ground.  Li Zhenyuan got off the tank and called all the two regiment leaders aside.  "The terrain here is narrow, and tanks will be easily destroyed by the Japanese if they are deployed one by one. So the key lies in your infantry regiment. The tank regiment will provide you with powerful artillery reinforcements!" Li Zhenyuan's words were obviously directed at the infantry regiments.  Long story.  This infantry regiment was transferred from the 203rd Division. Liu Jianguo's subordinates were very motivated. They patted their chests and promised: "Sir, please rest assured. I will definitely open up the passage and clear the obstacles for my assault force!"  "Well, go ahead." Li Zhenyuan patted his shoulder and nodded.  The commander of the infantry regiment is named Zhang Yi. He is about 26 or 27 years old. He is a student of the 11th batch of the former Northeast Military Academy. The current commander of the Northeast Army is equivalent to the brigade commander of other troops according to the normal establishment.  He was able to reach this position in his twenties, and he accumulated it step by step through military exploits. It was not Zhang Xinghan’s deliberate cultivation. It can be seen that this person does have some real abilities.  Zhang Yi quickly assembled two infantry companies of about 300 people to form the first wave of attacking troops, and attacked up the mountain road.  230The highlands are typical mountainous terrain. At the beginning, the mountains are relatively gentle and broad, but as you go up, the roads become narrower. There are rocks on both sides of the mountains, and there is only a path about three meters wide to pass through.  This is the rugged mountain path that Li Zhenyuan scouted earlier.  The team was led by a battalion commander named Chen Xiao.  On a road more than three meters wide, only three soldiers can pass side by side at most.  When they were about two hundred meters deep into the high ground, there was a sudden loud noise in front of them, and several flares slowly rose into the sky.  Under the illumination of the flares, the dark night suddenly became as bright as day.  The whereabouts of more than 300 Northeastern border guards were instantly exposed. The Japanese fortifications were built right in the middle of the highland, where there was a flat land on the top of the mountain.  The fortifications were built across the top, blocking the path.  When an abnormality was discovered, a Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun opened fire first, and dazzling tongues of flame spurted out from the firing hole of the bunker.  Intense bullets roared in, and the three Northeastern Army soldiers at the front were shot immediately, screaming and falling in a pool of blood.  “Brothers, beat me hard!” Chen Xiao shouted angrily.  A dozen Northeastern troops who were near the front opened fire one after another, and the semi-automatic rifles in their hands fired a hail of bullets, heading straight for the Japanese bunker.  However, all the bullets hit the wall of the bunker, and had no other effect except a series of sparks.  The Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun was still roaring, and dense bullets poured out like raindrops. Another Northeast Army soldier was shot and fell.  At the same time, other Japanese machine guns on the high ground also opened fire. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time. The dense bullets crisscrossed and formed a deadly fire network, suppressing the Northeast Army's offensive troops.  Due to terrain restrictions, the offensive troops led by Chen Xiao were unable to deploy. After losing more than a dozen of his men, he had to lead his men back dozens of meters. This was a bend in the mountain road, which was right in the blind spot of the Japanese's shooting.  Not willing to fail, Chen Xiao organized two attacks, but both ended in failure. In less than half an hour, the assault force lost more than 30 officers and soldiers.  The corpses of soldiers almost filled the mountain road.  "Sir, you are humble and incompetent. The attack failed!" Zhang Yi came to Li Zhenyuan and lowered his head.  Li Zhenyuan did not blame him, but led the guards to the forefront in person. He saw that the Japanese on the top of the mountain fired flares from time to time, and more than a dozen dazzling tongues of flame blocked the way forward. This was a dead end.  "Tuanzuo, the enemy's firepower is not very strong, but our offensive troops are limited by the terrain and cannot deploy at all. They can only rush forward in groups of three or two. This is simply a tactic to add fuel to the fire. As long as the enemy has enough bullets, we can attack them all."  It won't help if the group comes in!" Chen Xiao complained to Zhang Yi with a gray face and a sad face.  Li Zhenyuan turned his head and said to the ordering soldier beside him: "Order the tank regiment to aim at the top of the mountain and hit the son of a bitch hard." "Yes." The ordering soldier happily accepted the order and left.  Soon, dozens of tanks rumbled to the bottom of the high ground, adjusted their muzzles, and began to carry out large-scale shelling on the top of the mountain.  "Boom, boom, boom" The shells dragged long flames and roared towards the top of the mountain.  “Boom…Boom…” A violent explosion suddenly occurred on the top of the mountain, and scarlet fire light rose into the sky in the dark night, illuminating the entire highland as if it were daytime.  "Sir, I will humble my duty and lead the team to charge again." Seeing the alarming momentum of the tank regiment's shelling, Chen Xiao said eagerly.  "Go!" Seeing Li Zhenyuan nodding, the group leader Zhang Yi waved his hand.  "Come on!" Soon came the shouts of killing officers and soldiers, and then fierce gunfire rang out.  Not long after, Chen Xiao withdrew in disgrace and said: "Sir, no, our bombardment failed to destroy the Japanese bunker." Zhang Yi said: "It seems that the Japanese were well prepared. Such a strong bunker will not be destroyed unless the Air Force's  Heavy aerial bombs or bringing in the heavy artillery brigade may be able to destroy it!" Li Zhenyuan said: "The order given to us by the superior is to break through the Japanese defense line of Dingzhou before dawn and march into Texas. The air force will not be able to do so until dawn.  It's impossible to come, and even if they can fly at night, the bomber's aim will fail. As for the heavy artillery brigade, it will be dawn by the time they arrive. "What should we do?"  Li Zhenyuan pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and decided: "There is no other way. Let the tank regiment come up and use tanks to cover it. The infantry and rocket soldiers will follow up and use tanks to block the enemy's gun holes. The rocket soldiers will rush up and destroy them with bazookas."  Them!" ZhangYi nodded and said: "The power of bazooka is indeed amazing, but in order to achieve the effect, you must at least send them within a range of 100 meters or even 50 meters." Zhang Yi didn't finish speaking, who was the implication?  All understood.  Li Zhenyuan said: "In order to capture Dingzhou as soon as possible, some sacrifices must be made. Even if I am asked to go into battle in person, I will not refuse." Zhang Yi and Chen Xiao looked at each other in awe, and at the same time stood up and saluted: "Sir  Don't worry, the low-level people will do their best to win the 230th Highland. " "Well, go and get ready." Li Zhenyuan nodded and waved his hands.  ps: After finishing coding last night, I started to have vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night, which lasted for almost a whole night. I went to the hospital during the day and took injections and medicine. I finally felt better. The update is late, don’t blame me!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 327: Roundabout Tactics (Part 2) Second update

    Soon, a No. 4 tank rumbled over. Li Zhenyuan, Zhang Yi and others came to the tank, and a young commander jumped out of it.  They saluted the three of them and said: "Sir, the No. 4 vehicle of the 3rd company of the 12th Tank Regiment is ready. Please give instructions!" Li Zhenyuan and the other three saluted in return, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brothers, your mission is to ignore  Move everything forward, cover the infantry and destroy the Japanese tanks, do you have anything else to say?” The tank commander puffed his chest out and said proudly: “Sir, no more, since I put on this military uniform, I  My brothers and I are ready to sacrifice our lives for righteousness and serve the country!" "Okay, what a sacrifice for righteousness and serve the country!" Li Zhenyuan nodded happily and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Go,  I'll hold the line for you!" "Yes." The tank commander turned around and entered the tank again. Soon the tank started again and slowly entered the hilly road.  A platoon of elite infantrymen who had been prepared for a long time quickly followed up and moved forward under the cover of tanks.  The hilly road was littered with the corpses of fallen officers and soldiers, but at this moment they didn’t care so much. The tanks ran over their corpses and soon entered the effective range of the Japanese.  Just after passing the turning point, the enemy's machine gun bullets roared in, and the dense bullets hit the front armor of the tank, bursting out a burst of dazzling sparks.  The tanks showed no signs of stopping, and accelerated forward despite the rain of Japanese bullets. Dozens of elite infantrymen behind them, carrying bazookas and machine guns, followed closely. With the cover of the tanks, they were safe.  There are too many.  The vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns on the tanks also opened fire, and they started a firefight with the Japanese.  With a loud "boom", a high-explosive bomb accurately hit the Japanese bunker. Although it failed to penetrate it, the huge shock wave generated by the shelling at such a close range still hit the two shooting  The Japanese machine gunner and deputy machine gunner were so shocked that they flew backwards.  The two of them were shocked so much that their mouths and noses bled, and they fainted immediately.  There are already pieces of soil falling from the top of the bunker.  At this time, several other Japanese soldiers rushed up, picked up their machine guns and started shooting.  However, they soon received another shot, and several Japanese soldiers were also injured and unable to continue shooting. The bunker stuck in the middle of the mountain road suddenly stopped firing, but the other Japanese bunkers on both sides of the mountain road continued to roar.  The tongues of flame composed of the hot bullets were extremely dazzling in the dark night.  The No. 4 tank car wanted to adjust its muzzle to continue bombarding other bunkers, but its view was blocked by the convex rocks on both sides of the mountain road.  Since the terrain of the highlands is gentle slope, the king of Yue went up.  The mountain road is very narrow, and its depth is almost as deep as the body of a tank.  Therefore, the tank’s 75mm gun can only shoot directly, and the angles on both sides are stuck.  The Japs quickly realized the intentions of the Northeastern Army. Their bunkers were connected by tunnels and trenches. Not long after, several Japs wearing samurai cloths came to both sides of the mountain road through the trenches with explosive bags in their hands.  At this time, the tank has already advanced to about a hundred meters. It only needs to be pushed forward a few tens of meters, and the rocket soldiers behind the vehicle can set up a bazooka to bombard it.  However, when they moved forward for more than 20 meters.  Before the infantrymen behind could step forward, a sudden change occurred. Suddenly, about five or six Japanese soldiers rushed out shouting slogans of "Long Live the Emperor."  After running not far, he fired the explosive bag and threw the explosive bag over from a high position.  The tank machine gunner hurriedly turned his gun and fired, and several Japanese death squads were all concentrated by intensive firepower.  He screamed and fell down.  But several explosive packets inevitably fell in front of the tank.  There was a huge explosion immediately, with several loud bangs and flames rising from the ground.  Soaring into the night sky.  In the huge explosion, the tank machine gunner was killed on the spot, the tank suffered heavy damage, several tank soldiers inside were also seriously injured, and the tank broke down on the spot.  Since there are walls on both sides of the mountain road, the shock wave of the explosion comes directly in a rectangular shape.  In addition to the heavy damage to the tanks, the elite infantrymen who followed the tanks in the charge were also affected.  The shock waves that swarmed along the gaps between the bottom of the tank and the sides hit the soldiers at the front. Their internal organs were shattered by the shock, and they vomited blood and died on the spot.  "Come on!" A second lieutenant officer leading the team roared while holding an mg422 general-purpose machine gun.  The surviving elite soldiers behind him immediately responded in unison, rushing forward with bazookas and machine guns on their shoulders.  As soon as the two soldiers climbed onto the tank, they were hit by the dense rain of bullets from the Japanese and fell down unwillingly.  No more tanksIn response to the threat, the bunker in the middle of the Japanese army resumed shooting again, and the harsh roar of heavy machine gunfire was nothing short of adding insult to injury for the Northeastern officers and soldiers.  Soon, the second lieutenant platoon leader found a shooting blind spot in the gap between the tanks. The general machine gun in his hand suddenly opened fire, and the dense rain of bullets rushed towards the Japanese bunker. The second lieutenant's marksmanship and luck were both very good. About two or three bullets were fired along the way.  The shooting hole flew in.  A Japanese machine gunner was shot with a pop and fell on the machine gun. The Type 92 heavy machine gun that had just roared misfired again.  At this moment, the tank regiments at the bottom of the mountain opened fire one after another, and dozens of shells landed on the top of the mountain. The violent explosions and dazzling fire dampened the Japanese firepower.  Several elite soldiers took the opportunity to cross the tank and rushed forward carrying the bazooka.  They quickly aimed left and right at the Japanese bunker that had just fired at them with all their strength.  "Boom!" Two loud noises rang out. The two Japanese bunkers collapsed instantly under the bombardment of high-explosive armor-piercing shells. The Japanese inside were blown to pieces, including their men and guns.  Before the two rocket soldiers had time to get up, the Japanese's retaliatory fire came again. The two were beaten into bloody sieves by the dense rain of bullets from the Japanese, and fell to the ground with unwilling faces.  The second lieutenant officer was stunned when he saw this. Although the two Japanese bunkers were destroyed, the bunker in the middle and several other firepower points opened fire again. Their path forward was once again blocked by Japanese machine gun fire.  As soon as the two soldiers climbed onto the tank, they were shot in the head and died heroically.  At this moment, inside the tank, the young commander was covered in blood. He had just been stunned and suddenly woke up.  He pulled the driver and gunner, but found that they were all sacrificed, especially the driver, whose entire head was almost blown to pieces, which was too tragic to look at.  Through the lookout, he saw the Japanese machine gun bunker in the middle with tongues of flame still protruding, and his eyes were suddenly filled with the flames of revenge.  He pulled the driver's body aside, got into the driving position, and tried to start the tank. Miraculously, the tank started again.  There is nothing to say about the quality of German products.  He was overjoyed and quickly drove the tank forward.  The second lieutenant officer who was shooting behind the tank was sprayed with black smoke from the tank, but he didn't care at all. He was so happy that he immediately stood up with the machine gun in his arms: "Brothers, charge with me!" "Kill! Charge.  Ah!" The surviving elite soldiers roared at the top of their lungs and continued to rush forward with the tanks.  The tank commander maximized the speed of the tank, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed forward like an out-of-control bullfight.  The Japanese machine gunners who were firing were shocked when they saw this, but it was too late to send out death squads. They began to pull the triggers frantically, hoping to use their machine guns to stop the almost out-of-control tank from moving forward.  The dense bullets hit the armor of the tank, making a series of clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere.  But it was unable to stop the tank at all. Braving the dense rain of bullets, the tank rushed directly to the bunker in the middle, and the huge gun barrel slammed into the bunker.  The tank commander lay down on the driver's seat and made no sound.  The second lieutenant officer and his men took advantage of the situation to jump over the tanks and rush towards the enemy's firepower points in the bunkers.  The rocket soldiers quickly carried the bazooka and aimed at the target. Soldiers kept falling in the light of the fire, but they did not look back and continued to charge forward.  Finally, the rocket soldiers opened fire, and two more Japanese bunkers were destroyed in the flames.  The Japanese crossfire was finally stopped. The second lieutenant held the machine gun while charging and roaring, until several bullets ruthlessly hit his strong chest. He still held the machine gun and rushed forward a few steps, and finally became one of the  Startled, he fell backwards and died a heroic death.  At this time, from behind the mountain road, the louder shouts of killing began again, and Chen Xiao was seen rushing up with reinforcements.  A rocket soldier destroyed the bunker in the middle, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were able to jump over the tanks and rush to the top of the mountain, rushing towards the remaining Japanese firepower.  In the end, under the successive fierce attacks of the Northeast Army, all the Japs on the top of the mountain were wiped out.  When Li Zhenyuan, Zhang Yi and others led the troops to the top of the mountain and opened the door of the tank, they found that the young tank commander had been out of breath for a long time.  In a blink of an eye, I looked towards the battlefield on the top of the mountain and the mountain road from where I came. The bodies of Northeastern officers and soldiers were everywhere, and blood stained almost every inch of the land on Highland 230 red.  The words of the tank commander just before setting off echoed in my ears, sacrificing my life to serve the country!  Li ZhenyuanMy head felt sour, and tears couldn't help but burst into my eyes.  Soon, tank soldiers drove the tanks out, and after breaking through the Japanese defense line on the top of the mountain, they successfully passed the 230 Hill.  The regiment leader Zhang Yi said to Li Zhenyuan: "Sir, without further ado, let's continue the attack." Li Zhenyuan wiped his tears, nodded and said: "Order the troops to continue the attack!" One after another, the No. 4 tanks were being attacked by the soldiers.  Our blood-stained mountain road passed through the 230 Highlands.  However, at this moment, gunfire suddenly erupted from the front and fire shot into the sky.  Li Zhenyuan’s expression changed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 328: Conquer Dingzhou

    "What's going on?" Li Zhenyuan asked.  "Reporting to the commander, we encountered a Japanese army ahead of us. The number is unknown. Battalion Commander Chen is currently fighting a fierce battle with them." A soldier hurried over and reported.  Li Zhenyuan said: "This is the Japanese reinforcements, Commander Zhang!" "Yes!" Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward and responded.  "Immediately order your troops to attack with all your strength, defeat them for me, and finally wipe them all out, and then go straight to the rear of the Japanese army in Dingzhou!" Li Zhenyuan ordered immediately.  "Yes!" Zhang Yi saluted, turned around and took the order.  Tanks and hundreds of infantry swarmed forward and soon arrived on the battlefield ahead.  On the blazing battlefield, as more infantry and tanks from the Northeast Army arrived, the Japanese reinforcements were beaten back and suffered heavy losses.  The tank regiment and the infantry regiment pursued them non-stop. Every minute, some Japanese who could not escape were overtaken and shot to the ground.  This Japanese reinforcements number about 400 people. In the flat terrain, they are no match for a tank regiment and an armored infantry regiment of the Northeast Army.  They were all quickly wiped out in the pursuit. At this time, both sides were approaching the rear of the Japanese defense line on the north side of Dingzhou.  Without any hesitation, the assault troops began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions from behind.  It was difficult for the Japanese to resist the frontal attack of the Northeastern Army, but suddenly such a powerful assault force appeared from behind.  The result can be imagined. Under the front and back attacks of the northeastern border guards, the Japanese frontal defense quickly collapsed. In the dark night, thousands of Japanese soldiers retreated behind the scenes in panic.  Li Zhenyuan commanded the roundabout troops to take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill. The divisions that were attacking frontally also launched pursuits. The Japanese were suddenly defeated.  The outer defense line was breached, and the Dingzhou city defense did not play much role. The Northeast Army infantry took advantage of the situation and invaded the city.  The two sides fought fiercely for several hours.  Most of the remaining Japanese soldiers in the city were wiped out, and a few fled toward Dezhou with the retreating troops outside the city.  Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others commanded the troops to pursue them all night long, with their troops pointing directly at Dezhou.  …………… Andong County, the frontline headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The lights inside the headquarters were brightly lit, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili spent the whole night outside without feeling sleepy, waiting for news from the front line.  Suddenly, Guo Zhong excitedly walked out of the telecommunications room next door with a message in his hand. He didn't even have time to salute and said: "General. Chief of Staff, good news. General Wang called from the front line of Dingzhou. They just broke through the Japanese army's Dingzhou front line."  State defense line, and invaded Dingzhou City, the remaining Japanese army has retreated to Dezhou, and our first army is pursuing and advancing towards Dezhou!" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili stood up immediately after hearing this, and said with joy: "Well done, that's it.  The Japanese defense lines in Yongbyon and Tokugawa are bound to collapse, and Dezhou is already in our army's possession! " "Yes, Commander. I estimate that we will be able to reach Pingcheng Castle the day after tomorrow at the latest and capture Pingcheng.  , we have basically captured half of the Korean Peninsula." Jiang Baili couldn't help but said excitedly.  "By the way. Commander, the Japanese army's direction in Dingzhou has been broken through by our army, and Dezhou is also in danger. Can the Northern Route Army be allowed to set off?" Jiang Baili suddenly asked.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "It's time. Those guys from the Northern Route Army must have been impatient for a long time, right? Give them power and set off immediately, heading straight for Seoul along the west coast! Take the enemy's retreat!" "  Yes." Jiang Baili responded happily and walked towards the telecommunications room in person.  ……………………… Seoul, Japanese Army Headquarters.  The lights inside the Japanese military headquarters were also brightly lit, and Neji Okamura and his subordinates were anxiously waiting for news from the front line.  Suddenly, Sakurada Goro walked in holding a message and a solemn expression.  When Okamura Neji and everyone saw his solemn expression, they suddenly screamed inwardly.  Sure enough, Goro Sakurada saluted Okamura Neiji with a sad expression and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the telegram from the 19th Division that was just received. Please take a look at it." Okamura Neiji watched closely.  Opening his eyes, he took the message: "What happened in Dingzhou?" Sakurada Goro did not speak but lowered his head.  After Okamura Neiji read the telegram, he suddenly became furious and slammed the table: "Bagaya Road!" Everyone was walking on thin ice and bowed their heads in silence.  After being silent for a long time, Okamura Neiji breathed heavily and said: "Order the 9th Division to immediately abandon the Yongbyon and Tokugawa defense lines and move closer to Dezhou. If Dezhou cannot be defended, we will directly?Retreat to Pingcheng!  " "Hai!  "Sakurada Goro and others did not dare to have the slightest objection, and bowed their heads in response. At this juncture, Okamura Neji was furious, and they did not dare to say anything. After everyone almost dispersed, Sakurada Goro returned cautiously and said to  Okamura Neiji whispered: "General, the power at the base camp has been restored.  "    "Um?  How to say?  "Okamura Neiji turned around and asked. "The battle situation is too sudden. The base camp has activated an emergency plan. The 50,000 imperial troops staying in the mainland are gathering urgently. It is expected to arrive at Busan Port in five days to reinforce us.  For more reinforcements, it will take half a month or more to complete the assembly at the latest!  Sakurada Goro said truthfully. Okamura Neji nodded and said: "These 50,000 reinforcements are enough. At the worst, we voluntarily abandon North Korea and retreat to South Korea."  " "By the way, send electricity to Pingcheng's reinforcements and tell them not to go to Dezhou, and immediately return to defend Pingcheng. The Dingzhou defense line has been lost, and there is no point in going to Dezhou.  " Okamura Neiji added. "Hai.  "Goro Sakurada suddenly lowered his head again, and immediately took the order with his saber in hand. ???????????????????????? Yanbian County, the Northern Route Army has been stationed here for two days and two nights. The North Route Army consists of a tank and armored corps.  It consists of two tank regiments, three air defense regiments, and the two reorganized divisions of the 208th and 209th Division. The commander-in-chief is Gao Chu, the commander of the 208th Division. Since the troops were assembled, Gao Chu and the commander of the 209th Division Du Ting were ordered to stay on standby.  In the people's headquarters, Du Ting, who was on duty, was taking a nap, while Gao Chuze had already fallen asleep on the kang nearby. At this moment, a communications soldier on duty came in excitedly and approached Du Ting.  He snapped and saluted: "Master Du, the commander-in-chief is calling!  "    "who?  "Du Ting was refreshed and stood up. "Commander-in-Chief.  " Before the communication soldier finished speaking, Du Ting snatched the message in his hand. After reading it, Du Ting was overjoyed. He quickly ran to the kang, pushed the sleeping Gao Chu and said: "Old Gao,  Lao Gao, wake up, wake up!  " Gao Chu woke up with sleepy eyes and said dissatisfied: "Old Du, I have only been sleeping for a long time, and you called me. Didn't I agree that it is your turn to be on duty in the middle of the night?  " Du Ting didn't care and said with a smile: "Old Gao, don't sleep now, the commander-in-chief is here to kill you!  "    "Um?  "Gao Chu didn't pay attention at first, but then he was startled and sat up on the kang. His eyes were wide open and he said to Du Ting: "Old Du, what did you say?  What did you just say?  " "See for yourself, the commander-in-chief's telegram ordered us to set off immediately and march towards Goryeo!  " Du Ting said and handed the telegram to him. Gao Chu took the telegram and read it over in a hurry. He suddenly jumped down and even forgot to put on his shoes and said: "His grandma is a bitch, she finally waited for this order.  Signal Corps, please send my order immediately, and all units will assemble urgently and set off!  "    "yes!  "The communication soldier took the order and left. Du Ting smiled and said: "Lao Gao, don't be anxious, don't care about this moment, put on your shoes first.  " Gao Chu lowered his head and smiled, hehe, "You don't know, I've been going crazy for the past two days. I heard that the South Route Army launched an attack yesterday, and within one day, they moved forward.  It’s been more than a hundred kilometers to attack cities and fortresses. It’s such a joy. Tens of thousands of our Northern Route Army troops are here to watch. It feels really bad.  " With that said, Gao Chu quickly put on his shoes, stood up and said to Du Ting: "Old Du, let's go, I can't wait.  Ha ha!  " "This is to fight, not to go to the brothel to find the kiln sister. Look at how anxious you are.  "Du Ting said with a smile. "Oh, don't tell me, this time I hit Seoul, I really got some Korean girls to play with!  Gao Chu said with a smile. Soon, all the 50,000 troops of the Northern Route Army were mobilized. Two hours later, just as the sky was getting brighter, they crossed the border and advanced towards the west coast of Goryeo. The main force of the Japanese  Troops were deployed in the important plain towns in the southwest and central part of North Korea. The west coast and coastal areas were far from developed at this time. In fact, even in later generations, the development here was not very good. Therefore, most of the defense here was handed over to the Imperial Association of Goryeo.  There was less than one regiment of puppet troops guarding Huining. They could not hold out for even an hour during the massive attack by the Northeastern Frontier Force, and they all surrendered. Gao Chuhe captured Huining.  Du Ting led his troops to advance without stopping, heading straight for Qingjin, the first important town on the west coast. On the battlefields of Tokchuan and Yongbyon of the Southern Route Army, the Dingzhou defense line was breached by the Northeastern Army.The Japanese troops in Yongbyon and Tokugawa began to actively retreat under the orders of Okamura Neiji.  The 100,000 troops of the 2nd and 3rd Route Army took advantage of the situation to attack. Within a few hours, they swept through the two major areas and captured all the Japanese defensive positions in the above-mentioned areas.  Chasing the Japanese 9th Division toward Dezhou.  In Dingzhou City, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others have moved their headquarters to the city.  In the headquarters, Wang Yizhe smiled and said to Li Zhenyuan: "Zhenyuan, you did a great job this time. Our army was able to capture Dingzhou before dawn, and you are indispensable!" Li Zhenyuan looked a little sad, and smiled bitterly: "Old man  Sir, Zhenyuan did not have any merit in this battle. The real contribution was made by the hundreds of brothers who sacrificed their lives. Without their desperate and bloody battle, we would not have been able to successfully pass through Highland 230." (To be continued, please search Gone with the Wind.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 329: Soldiers Arrive at Pingcheng

    Wang Yizhe noticed the change in his demeanor and nodded solemnly: "You are right, the real meritorious officials are the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Don't worry, I will personally ask for credit from the commander-in-chief!" Li Zhenyuan, stay away!  He nodded and stepped aside.  Zhao Zhenfan stood up and said: "Everyone, Tokchuan and Ningbyon have also been broken through by our army. The Japanese invaders are about to retreat to Dezhou. Commander Wang and I have decided not to give the enemy a chance to gain a foothold. While their foothold is not stable, all troops will use all their strength."  Attack and take Texas in one go!" "Yes!" everyone responded in unison with an angry expression.  "Sir, it's getting dark. Should we call the Air Force to come for help? With their help, capturing Texas will not be a problem." Li Zhenyuan suddenly said.  "Yes, yes." Wang Yizhe nodded and said to Zhao Zhenfan: "Guoping, go and send a message to the commander-in-chief immediately and ask him to send the air force to support as soon as possible." "Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Zhenfan nodded.  He responded and immediately took the order and left.  ……………………… Andong County.  Jiang Baili placed the message from Zhao Zhenfan in front of Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan had not slept all night and was rubbing his temples to refresh himself.  "Commander, Commander Zhao and the others requested air force support." Zhang Xinghan picked up the message and read it, and said lightly: "Give Gao Zhihang power, send the 1st Flying Regiment to support the Tokugawa battlefield, and send long-range bombers and Zero fighter jets to attack  Air raids were carried out in Pingcheng, Seoul and other places, causing chaos to the Japanese troops and not giving them a chance to deploy defenses or evacuate calmly! " "Yes" Jiang Baili took the order and left.  Zhang Xinghan turned around and came to the map. After making some gestures on the map, he finally drew a circle on the map with a pencil.  On the Dezhou battlefield, 150,000 soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese defense line in Dezhou on a battlefield that was dozens of miles long.  On the ground, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles were galloping.  Tens of thousands of infantrymen followed closely like a swarm of ants.  There were fierce gunshots and violent explosions everywhere, and the sky-high flames and thick smoke almost covered the entire battlefield.  Hundreds of aircraft of various types were swooping and circling in the sky, facing the Japanese army's field positions and city defense positions.  And the artillery positions launched waves of bombing and strafing.  With the help of the air force, the Japanese defense line quickly collapsed, and the Northeast Army's tank assault force smashed the Japanese defense line to pieces with unrivaled force.  That afternoon, the 201st Division of the Northeast Army took the lead in attacking Dezhou City. The Japanese 19th Division and the 9th Division suffered heavy losses and were defeated like a mountain.  Especially the 19th Division.  In successive battles, its main force suffered severe losses, and the two divisions combined had less than 20,000 men.  The various units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force pursued them non-stop under the cover of the Air Force. The 19th Division and the 9th Division suffered heavy losses due to attacks by the Northeast Army Air Force during their retreat. By the time they withdrew to Pingcheng.  More than half of the troops have been lost, morale is low, and the situation is miserable.  While the Texas Attack Battle was ongoing, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and others led air force fighter planes to raid Japanese stations and defensive positions in Pingcheng and Seoul, which greatly frightened the Japanese and puppet troops.  ……………… In Seoul City, inside the Japanese Army Command Headquarters.  Goro Sakurada was persuading him earnestly: "General. The Chinese army's offensive was rapid and fierce. In less than a day, it once again broke through the imperial army's Texas defense line. At present, its forward troops are less than 50 kilometers away from Pingcheng. Their air force has also begun to attack Seoul.  Pingcheng is conducting an air raid. For your safety, I ask you to move to Busan immediately!" Okamura Neiji was furious: "The outcome is not decided at Bagaya Road. Do you want me to be a deserter?" "General?  , This is not a deserter. You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and your safety is the most important." Sakurada Goro advised.  "Gather our troops immediately and defend Pingcheng with all our strength. As long as we hold on for four days, 50,000 reinforcements will arrive. By then we will be able to resist the Chinese Army's offensive at the 38th Line. If I evacuate Seoul now, then the frontline emperor  The officers and soldiers must have lost their morale and their morale has plummeted, and it is impossible to hold Heicheng!" Okamura Neiji gritted his teeth.  "General!" Sakurada Goro wanted to persuade him again.  However, Okamura Neji glared at him angrily, so he could only nod his head angrily.  At this moment, a Japanese communications staff officer ran in in a panic, put his feet back and saluted the two men and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I'm sorry, I just got the news that a Chinese army on the west coast has successively captured China in one day.  Qingjin, Yoshikawa and other places are heading towards Hamhing!" "What?" Okamura Neiji and Sakurada Goro heard this.Their colors suddenly changed, and the two hurriedly turned around and walked towards the battle map.  After making some gestures on the map, Okamura Neiji suddenly became furious. He turned around and shouted to the communications staff officer: "Bagaya Road, why are you still reporting it now?" "General, please calm down. Those guarding Qingjin and other places are all the Imperial Association Army."  , they all surrendered as soon as the Chinese army arrived, and no one informed us of the battle situation. It was not until Yoshikawa, where the imperial army stationed a squadron, that the emergency military information was reported. " Okamura Neiji was very angry.  Kicking a chair over, he suppressed his anger and asked: "How many troops does the China Army have? How is its firepower?" "The Yoshikawa Squadron sent a message before everyone was shattered, saying that the China Army has a large number of troops, numbering in the tens of thousands.  , and is equipped with a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and powerful artillery units," the communications staff officer lowered his head and replied.  "Tens of thousands of people?" Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed.  Sakurada Goro took the opportunity to whisper: "General, the China Army is coming with force, and we have no strong troops on the west coast to stop them. Judging from their marching route, their goal is probably Seoul!" Okamura Ning  The corner of his mouth twitched for a while, and finally he sighed and said: "Chief of Staff, order the headquarters to evacuate Seoul immediately and move to Busan. At the same time, our army in Pingcheng will be discovered. We will abandon Pingcheng tonight and the entire army will hold on to Seoul. No, Seoul cannot be defended either.  The whole army is retreating to Busan, where should we stand and wait for reinforcements?" Sakurada Goro did not expect Okamura Neji's attitude to change so quickly. He couldn't help but said: "General, are we going to give up Pingcheng, even Seoul and Jue?  Most of the Korean Peninsula?" Okamura Neji looked at Sakurada Goro as if he were an idiot.  He said coldly: "If the Chinese army only has the front road, then we can still hold on in Seoul, but now another enemy army has been killed on the west coast. If the Pingcheng defenders do not retreat, the enemy will cut off their retreat. The entire army will be annihilated.  . And soon, this partial division of the China Army will also be attacked from both sides. Therefore, these two areas can no longer be defended. You must know that we have no air superiority, let alone effective weapons that can compete with the tanks and armored assault troops of the China Army.  Equipment. Once we are attacked from both sides, the result will be disastrous. "But General, if our army retreats across the board, it is likely that the Chinese army will overtake us and the retreat will become a rout."  Okamura Neiji sighed and said: "Then order the 19th Division and the 9th Division to stick to Seoul and buy time for the main force to evacuate." Goro Sakurada thought for a while, and finally bowed his head and responded: "Hai!  ”………………………………Xianshui County, the North Route Army has just arrived from Jichuan County.  Xianshui County is considered a larger city on the west coast. There are more than 500 Japanese and more than 3,000 puppet troops stationed in the city.  Regarding the news of the North Route Army's attack, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city had already received the news. Although the puppet soldiers in the city were panic-stricken, the Japanese commander, Major Duomenjing Village, still issued an order to defend.  With the small number of troops in Duomenjing Village, they did not overestimate their capabilities and stick to the field defense position outside the city.  Rather, it relies directly on city defense.  Looking through the telescope at the Japanese and puppet troops moving back and forth on the city top from time to time to carry ammunition, Gao Chu smiled and said to Du Ting next to him: "Old Du, how long do you think it will take to capture this county?" "I just observed  After a while, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city is definitely more than one regiment, and it will take three or four hours no matter what." Du Ting said this with great confidence in the powerful combat power of his own offensive troops.  The firepower composed of hundreds of tanks and three anti-aircraft artillery regiments is unmatched by any opponent.  The scene of the attack on Yoshikawa not long ago still appeared in Du Ting's mind. The Japanese and puppet troops in the city were unable to hold out for three hours under their own powerful artillery fire.  But Gao Chu chuckled and said, "Old Gao, how about we make a bet?" "What bet?" Du Ting asked.  "I bet our army can wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city within two hours and capture the city. Do you believe it or not?" Gao Chu said.  "Two hours? Isn't it too short?" Du Ting thought for a while, and there was no harm in winning or losing, and said: "Okay, I'll bet with you!" "Just gambling is not enough, at least there must be some luck, right?"  Gao Chu said with a wicked smile.  "What kind of lottery?" Du Ting asked puzzledly.  "Bet on half a year's military salary. If either of us loses, we will hand over half a year's military salary to the other party!" Gao Chu said with a bad smile.  "What a great old man, you still haven't given me the twenty-five dollars you owed me the last time, and you're trying to beat me for my military pay!" Du Ting said angrily.  &nbsp; Gao Chu smiled and said: "Lao Du, just tell me whether you want to gamble or not. If you win, I will not only pay you back the twenty-five yuan I owe you, but also give you half a year's military pay. I will never break my promise.  What do you think?" "You keep your word?" "Spitting and nailing!" Gao Chu said seriously.  "Okay, I'll make a bet with you. If you can capture this Salted Egg City within two hours, I won't even take the twenty-five yuan you owe me," Du Ting said.  Gao Chu nodded and shouted to a messenger behind him: "Commander, come here." "Yes, Master, please give instructions!" The messenger quickly ran over and stood up to answer.  "Order four tank regiments and three anti-aircraft regiments to concentrate their firepower on the south gate of Salty Egg City and smash it to pieces. The rest of the troops are all ready to fight. After the bombardment is over, launch a full-scale attack!"  Gao Chu quickly ordered that their Northern Route Army, plus two directly affiliated tank regiments, had a total of four tank regiments and more than 400 tanks and combat vehicles.  "Yes!" The communications soldier responded loudly and quickly took the order and left.  Soon, four tank regiments and three anti-aircraft regiments began to assemble.  The three air defense regiments are the air defense regiments of the independent tank and armored corps divisions. They are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Their firepower is much stronger than the three tank regiments.  Especially the salvos of their 88mm anti-aircraft guns, which are so powerful that they can blast even the city walls into pieces. This is the confidence of Gao Chu.  In addition to the three air defense regiments and four tank regiments, the artillery regiments directly under the two divisions also immediately began to build artillery positions, and one 105mm howitzer was pulled off the tractor.  The black muzzle was raised high and pointed in the direction of Saltwater City.  It took more than half an hour for all the attacking troops to be ready.  Following Gao Chu’s order, three anti-aircraft regiments and four tank regiments took the lead in opening fire one after another.  Four hundred 75mm tank guns and dozens of 88mm anti-aircraft guns poured shells into the Japanese city defenses at a rate of thousands of rounds per minute.  Thousands of steel cannonballs rained down on the city wall.  Suddenly there was a huge explosion that shook the earth.  Subsequently, two 105mm howitzer regiments also opened fire.  As shells fell into the city, the entire southern area of ??Xianshui County quickly turned into a sea of ??flames.  The Japanese and puppet troops who stood on the top of the city were killed and wounded in the raging explosion airflow, and the broken limbs and broken arms of the Japanese and puppet troops could be seen everywhere.  As the bombardment progressed, dozens of 88mm anti-aircraft guns brought their rapid-fire advantages and powerful explosive power to the extreme.  Cannonballs rained down on the city walls.  The violent explosions one after another blew up the city wall into pieces, causing bricks and stones to fly down.  Looking at the city wall that was ravaged by the dense rain of shells, Du Ting couldn't help but gasped, "Damn it, the intensity of this firepower, not to mention a few Japs and puppet troops, even the steel monsters can't fucking stand it.  Ah. I have to say that our Northeast New Army's wealth is getting bigger and bigger. We couldn't even think of such a large-scale intensive bombardment before." "Look at your potential," Gao Chu gnawed leisurely.  Holding a chicken leg, which naturally came from the Korean sticks, his mouth was full of oil after eating: "But to be honest, our firepower is indeed good, and the commander treated us well. He gave us the only three air defense regiments in the army.  Hey, darling, the firepower and rate of fire of these little things are much stronger than tank guns. " Du Ting looked at Gao Chu sadly, and secretly complained in his heart, it's over, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my military pay.  The intensive bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, and tens of thousands of artillery shells were poured into Saltwater City. Later, the tank gunners and two howitzer regiments pointed their muzzles directly into the city.  Because there is really no target to bomb at the South City Gate, and there are ruins of collapsed city walls everywhere.  The Japanese and puppet troops above had been wiped out, and not even a few hairs could be found.  Half an hour later, thousands of infantrymen who had exerted their energy suddenly roared and rushed across the south of the city like a tide, rushing towards the city.  ……………………… Andong County, Northeast Border Defense Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan is taking a nap.  He didn't sleep all night last night, but he was sleepy to death.  Suddenly I was woken up.  Opening his eyes tiredly, he saw Jiang Baili standing in front of him with bloodshot eyes, but a bright smile on his face.  "Chief of Staff, you didn't go to rest?" Zhang Xinghan rubbed his eyes and sat up.  "I was just about to go, but suddenly I received the success report from the North Route Army and the South Route Army at the same time, so I couldn't sleep." Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "Good news?" Zhang Xinghan's expression perked up and he lost all sleep, and said: "How is the situation?" "See for yourself.  "Jiang Baili smiled and gave him the message. "Has the Northern Route Army already broken through Xianshui?  "Zhang Xinghan couldn't stop his joy when he saw the message. "Well, they are currently moving forward non-stop.  "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Not only did the Northern Route Army report victory, General Wang also sent a message of victory. Dezhou has been captured by our army, and the remnants of the Japanese army have retreated to Pingcheng. Our army will be at Pingcheng at the latest tonight.  "    "Yeah?  Progress so fast?  "Zhang Xinghan was obviously a little surprised. "Yes, I originally thought that Pingcheng would not be defeated until tomorrow morning at the earliest, but I didn't expect that the troops would advance so fast," Jiang Baili said. "The Japanese army is so vulnerable. I think it may be  They had no intention of fighting. The reason was probably that the appearance of the Northern Route Army made the Japanese no longer dare to hold on to Texas.  "Zhang Xinghan calmed down and analyzed. "Well, it's very possible.  "Jiang Baili said. With that said, Zhang Xinghan had already stood up and walked towards the battle map. Jiang Baili quickly followed, and the two came to the map. Jiang Baili saw the circle drawn by Zhang Xinghan and said inexplicably: "Commander, this  What means?  " "After taking Pingcheng, immediately repair the airport here to serve as an advance base for our air force.  " Zhang Xinghan explained. "The forward base of the Air Force?  "Jiang Baili said puzzledly: "At present, our air force's range can basically cover the Korean Peninsula. I wonder what you mean by this, Commander-in-Chief?  " "First, as our army's front continues to advance, the range of fighter planes taking off from Dalian and other places increases, and the time to reach the front line also increases.  With an advanced base in Pingcheng, our air force can reach battlefields with a radius of hundreds of kilometers to provide support within ten minutes or even half an hour.  Second, I predict that the Japanese mainland must have learned the news, and maybe it is gathering reinforcements to prepare to rush to the Koryo Peninsula.  And if our army wants to delay the Japanese reinforcements, in addition to attacking coastal ports including Busan, it is best to give the Japanese a strong medicine, that is, air strikes on the Japanese mainland, such as Kumamoto, Hiroshima and Fukuoka.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "An air attack on the Japanese mainland?  "Jiang Baili was taken aback by Zhang Xinghan's strategic idea. "Yes, I don't expect many results, but it is not difficult to imagine how much shock this will have on Japan!  " Zhang Xinghan said. Jiang Baili thought for a while and said: "Indeed, if our air force can really attack the Japanese mainland, it will definitely cause a great shock to the Japanese, and the strategic significance is greater than the harvest!  " "As long as we have an air force base in Pingcheng, with the range of our fighters and bombers, it is enough.  Zhang Xinghan said. PS: Dragging an extremely weak body, I forced myself to write 14,000 words, just to fulfill my promise of constantly updating, many updates, and working hard to update. I don’t know if brothers have ever suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for a whole day.  One day and one night, I almost reached the point of dehydration. I felt like I really wanted to sleep.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 330: Breaking Pingcheng

    Pyeongseong has been the two major political and cultural centers of Goryeo since ancient times, and the other is the famous Seoul.  Pyeongseong is located in the northwest of the Koryo Peninsula. The territory is mostly hilly and only one third is plain.  The famous fifth largest river in Goryeo, the Daedong River divides Pyeongseong City into two.  At this time, it was just nightfall, and the Japanese troops that were hastily withdrawing from Texas were swarming across the river.  The banks of Jiangxi in Datong were crowded with Japanese officers and soldiers, and occasionally a few ships would be crowded by Japanese swarms.  Everyone was rushing to board the ship, and the entire west bank of the Datong River was in chaos.  The Japanese army did not dare to fight and faced the pursuing Northeastern Border Guard troops on the west bank of the Datong River, so they had abandoned all defensive positions on the west bank.  The entire army began to retreat in droves toward the east coast.  The main reason is because Okamura Neiji has given the 9th Division and the 19th Division a secret order to abandon Pingcheng and retreat to Seoul. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the Datong River, there was a bridge that was used for both railway and highway purposes. It was built by Japanese colonists to facilitate the plunder of the wealth of the Koryo Peninsula and even Northeast China.  However, this bridge had been destroyed by an aerial bomb during an air raid by the Northeastern Army during the day.  So tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers could only cross the river nervously with limited boats.  Before the Japanese could cross over, a Northeastern Army tank took the lead and appeared on the west bank.  In the dark night, its barrel spit out a dazzling fireball, and with a loud bang, the shell fell into the crowd of Japanese on the shore.  The fire produced by the violent explosion immediately swallowed up all the Japanese soldiers within a dozen meters, and the wailing sounds of the Japanese soldiers sounded almost at the same time as the explosion.  Due to the dense crowd of Japanese soldiers, this shell caused at least 20 casualties to them.  "The Chinese are chasing us, tanks of the Chinese army, run!" "Mom, help, it's a Chinese tank!" The Japanese soldiers who were still stranded on the west bank were so frightened that their souls were dying, and they screamed miserably.  Along the way, they have seen the power of the Northeast Army's tank troops countless times.  They had already beaten him to the point of losing his temper, and he was extremely afraid of them. For a while, the voices of crying for father and mother could be heard one after another.  "Boom, boom, boom" As more and more Northeast Frontier Army tanks arrived, the number of artillery shells began to increase, and violent explosions were heard one after another. The entire west bank of Datong was rumbled with gunfire and dazzling fire.  The devil has nowhere to hide.  Groups of them were blown to pieces by the raging blast wave.  After a sudden burst of artillery fire, the tank crews who arrived first began to accelerate their advance, using vehicle-mounted machine guns to launch a massacre-style strafing and suppression campaign against the Japanese who were too late to retreat on the west bank.  Hundreds of tanks formed a huge encirclement. The on-board machine guns on the tanks spit out hot and dazzling flames, harvesting the lives of the Japanese like wheat.  The entire west bank of the Datong River was like a Shura hell, with the screams of the Japanese everywhere.  Rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the fields.  Desperate, some Japanese soldiers jumped into the Datong River in despair and tried to swim for their lives, but they were all washed away by the ruthless river water and died in the belly of the fish.  The massacre-style encirclement and suppression lasted for more than an hour, leaving thousands of Japanese stranded on the West Bank.  Because the Northeastern border guards did not want to take prisoners, they were all shot on the river bank, and no one was spared.  At this time, subsequent tanks, armored units and infantry units also arrived one after another.  The Japanese soldiers who had already crossed the river built fortifications on the east bank in an attempt to defend across the river.  In fact, there were less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers left. The main force of the Japanese army of the 19th Division and the 9th Division, together with the Japanese troops in Pingcheng, had evacuated Pingcheng overnight.  Escape to Seoul along the railway line.  The pursuit force took a short rest and began to suppress the Japanese troops on the east coast with powerful artillery fire from the 105th Howitzer Regiment directly under each division.  The bridge-building tanks of each tank regiment were dispatched one after another, and began to erect steel bridges at the fractures of the original railway bridge.  There were not many Japanese troops on the east coast, and all they left behind were wounded soldiers and death squads who were used as cannon fodder. It was impossible to equip them with powerful artillery fire, and they were unable to fight back under the suppression of the Northeast Army's artillery fire.  Not to mention stopping the bridge-building tanks of the Northeast Army from building bridges, it took less than an hour.  A flat steel bridge was built.  The pursuing troops immediately took the lead and launched a tidal wave of attacks towards the east bank.  More than a thousand remnants of the Japanese army resisted desperately, and a battle with an already determined outcome began.  At the same time, the west coast of Korea.  After the Northern Route Army led by Gao Chu and Du Ting captured Xianshui, they captured Yuanshan, a coastal county without stopping, and are now heading towards Seoul overnight.Come.  The marching speed of the North Route Army was astonishing. They set off one day later than the South Route Army, but they were ahead of the South Route Army.  Of course, the important reason for this is that they encountered almost no decent resistance. Okamura Neiji did not expect that Zhang Xinghan, the Northeast Army stationed at the Heilongjiang border, would dare to mobilize them to fight in Goryeo.  You must know that they are all border defense troops to guard against the Soviet army. Once they are transferred, the Soviet army will take advantage of the situation and the consequences will be disastrous.  Therefore, Okamura Neiji deployed the main defense forces in strategic locations in the southeast and central regions.  The garrisons on the west coast are purely for alert purposes.  Unexpectedly, the Northern Route Army took advantage of this advantageous point and marched nearly 400 kilometers along the official road on the west coast in just one day and one night.  The average marching speed per hour was almost more than thirty kilometers, and seven or eight coastal towns were captured in succession during this period.  The assault speed is terrifying.  Every time the Northern Route Army captured a place, it didn't even have time to clean the battlefield. The officers and soldiers almost all ate, drank and ate in the trucks, and the logistics convoys transporting fuel for them also ran all the way, leaving no peace for a moment.  In a military jeep in the marching team, Du Ting and Gao Chu were discussing with a combat map.  Gao Chu was smoking a cigarette with great interest, listening to Du Ting explain to him the distance from Seoul, their current marching position, etc.  Seeing his absent-minded look, Du Ting couldn't help scolding: "Lao Gao, can you fucking concentrate? Look at your virtue." "Hey, Lao Du, stop mumbling like that, leave Seoul now.  It’s still far away, so there’s no rush to discuss it, but you have to remember that you lost half a year’s military pay to me. After this battle, don’t forget to pay me back.” Gao Chu was smoking happily.  "I know it's still far away from Seoul, but we are not far from Pingcheng. Even from the map, our current position has almost passed Pingcheng." Du Ting said: "Besides, we added water in salt water  There is not much fuel left, and it may not be enough to last until Seoul, so I suggest that we stop first and wait for the logistics force to deliver the fuel again. " "We must not stop because our troops are so fast," Gao Chu said firmly.  road.  "But our troops can't drive without gasoline? Especially tanks and armored vehicles. Without gasoline, they are just a pile of scrap metal." Du Ting said.  "Then order the troops to stop immediately and concentrate all the fuel into a tank regiment. I will lead this tank regiment to continue forward and go straight to Huanglong. You lead the infantry and other troops here to wait for replenishment, and then follow up.  Gao Chu thought for a while and said.  "No, as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army, you cannot leave your post without authorization." Du Ting said.  "What does it mean to be absent without permission? I am leading an assault. Don't you understand how fast soldiers are? I heard that the South Route Army has already reached Pingcheng and is currently attacking overnight. We, the North Route Army, must keep up, otherwise it will be delayed.  "Fighter, can you and I take the responsibility?" "Then you can't just bring one tank regiment. It's too dangerous." Du Ting was still worried and shook his head.  "Lao Du, who is the commander-in-chief among us?" Gao Chu said deliberately with a straight face.  "Lao Gao, don't fucking slander me. The boss was afraid that you would be too impulsive, so he assigned me to the Northern Route Army. I'm here just to stop you from making mistakes and stop your impulsiveness."  Du Ting also stared and said loudly.  Gao Chu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's do this, Lao Du, you ask the infantry regiments to get off the car immediately and walk, and follow the tank regiments with all their strength. With them following behind, my tank regiment will not  "It's too risky." "Lao Gao, can we keep up with the speed of the tank regiment?" Du Ting still shook his head.  "Lao Du, that's a bit too much. The military situation is urgent. I don't want to talk nonsense to you. Our infantry regiment has not fallen behind in any of its usual training. Why can't we march on foot? Is it possible that with a car, it's fucking impossible?  Soft-footed shrimp, you can’t walk ten kilometers in an hour. Those who can’t run will be treated as deserters. The whole army will march towards Seoul. If you are the first to invade Seoul, you will be rewarded with a thousand yuan. The most important thing is our Northern Route Army.  "This expedition abroad is the first overseas battle for our Northeast Frontier Army. The stakes are very high. Victory is more important than anything else. What we want is victory. Do you understand?"  My face really changed at first.  "But" Du Ting wanted to say more.  Gao Chu straightened his face and said: "Okay, stop being so mother-in-law, this matter is settled." "Then you should be careful yourself, I will urge you later."As soon as the second batch of fuel arrives, I will lead the other tank regiments to march at full speed to catch up with you.  " Du Ting said.  Pingcheng, east bank of Datong River. Tens of thousands of Northeastern military officers and soldiers and hundreds of tanks and chariots have completely captured the Japanese army's defensive positions along the river. Northeastern troops are everywhere  The officers and soldiers cheered in victory. The forward troops had entered Pingcheng City and were encircling and suppressing the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the city. The Japanese 19th Division and 9th Division had already evacuated dozens of kilometers from Pingcheng and were heading towards Pine Forest.  They fled at full speed. It must be said that the remnants they left in Pingcheng still bought them considerable time to escape. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 331: Gathering and Annihilating Kaicheng

    Andong County, Northeast Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had just had dinner and was picking his teeth with a toothpick. The kitchen had prepared a sumptuous dinner, with two dishes, one soup, and a roast chicken that he almost ate by himself.  It's not that he's a good eater, it's just that he didn't sleep well all day and night, and he didn't eat much. As the battle situation progressed smoothly, he relaxed and felt hungry. Naturally, he ate more food than before when he had a big appetite.  Usually it's more than double.  The commander of the Jingwei Battalion, Guo Zhong, came in with a cup of hot water, put it in front of him and said, "Commander, you want boiled water." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan picked up the teacup and asked casually, "Where is the chief of staff?  "Where are you going?" "The pace of the northern and southern armies of our front line is too fast, and the logistics troops can't keep up. The ammunition is okay, but the fuel required for the armored vehicles is completely exhausted. Minister Zang of the northern route army is responsible for coordinating logistics.  The chief of staff went to arrange supplies for the Southern Route Army commander," Guo Zhongdao said.   When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he turned to look at the map, nodded and said: "Our two armies have advanced more than 400 kilometers? The front is getting longer and longer." "Yes, the longer the front, the harder it is for logistics and transportation.  The time and pressure are increasing." Guo Zhong nodded.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Immediately send me an order. From tomorrow on, the Air Force Transport Group will fully devote itself to the task of airdropping fuel and other supplies to the frontline troops. In addition, inform the South Route Army that if Pingcheng can be captured tonight, it can be temporarily  Rest for a night in Pingcheng and leave the pursuit to the forward troops. After waiting for the arrival of logistics supplies, we can continue to march towards Seoul. " "Yes," Guo Zhong hurriedly responded and immediately turned around to accept the order.  However, it didn't take long for Guo Zhong to return and excitedly reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, we just got a call back from the South Route Army. The main force of the Japanese army fled without a fight, and our army has fully controlled Pingcheng." "Oh?  Is the damage to Pingcheng Airport serious?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The victory message mentioned that Pingcheng Airport was blown up by the Japanese before the main force of the Japanese army evacuated, and the damage was quite serious." Guo Zhong replied.  "Immediately send power to Commander Wang and ask them to organize manpower as soon as possible to repair the airport at all costs. The damaged areas must be repaired within three days." Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered.  "Yes." Guo Zhong responded and took the order again.  ……………… Dingzhou, South Route Army Headquarters.  Zhao Zhenfan came in with the telegram and said to Wang Yizhe: "Commander-in-Chief. The commander-in-chief has called." After saying that, he handed the telegram to him.  After Wang Yizhe read the message, he raised his head and said to Zhao Zhenfan and others: "Everyone, Pingcheng has been captured by our army. In order to facilitate command, I have decided to move the headquarters to Pingcheng. This will also facilitate our organization of manpower and material resources to repair the airport." "General.  The commander has decided, we have no objections," Zhao Zhenfan took the lead.  Liu Jianguo and others nodded in agreement.  So that night, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others moved the headquarters to Pingcheng overnight.     at the same time.  Liu Jianguo, Wang Tiehan and others who were responsible for personally leading the troops also received orders to temporarily leave the main force in Pingcheng. Each division only sent one regiment or two battalions of pursuit troops to continue southward along the pipeline in pursuit.  …………………………… Seoul's pipeline to Busan, Okamura Ningji is walking by car.  Suddenly there was a flash of light and a three-wheeled motorcycle came speeding towards me.  Blocking in front of his car.  The driver suddenly stepped on the brakes, and Neji Okamura, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly became furious, but the person who blocked the car was a communications adjutant.  He had already got off the tricycle and came outside his car.  He stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, General, I have just received a telegram from the 9th Division. According to the report from the troops left behind, Pingcheng has been captured by the Chinese Army, and Wonsan has also been captured by another Chinese Army two hours ago.  The Chinese army is advancing towards Seoul." Okamura Neiji suppressed his anger, nodded, and waved to the communications adjutant to signal him to leave.  Then he said to the driver: "Keep driving." "Hai." The Japanese driver quickly started the car and continued to drive forward.  Gao Chu led a tank regiment to fill up the fuel tank and marched quickly. At around 1 a.m., they advanced more than 100 kilometers and arrived near the northwest of Kaicheng.  At the same time, part of the Japanese 9th Division, which had withdrawn from Pingcheng, also rushed to Kaicheng after a rapid march.  Although they evacuated Pingcheng earlier than Gao Chu’s Northern Route Army left Yuanshan, the Northern Route Army led by Gao Chu was fully mechanizedThe speed of march made up for this time difference.  Almost at the same time as the leading troops of the retreating Japanese army arrived in Kaicheng.  Knowing that Kaicheng was to the southeast, Gao Chu had no interest in attacking Kaicheng. Instead, he ordered the troops to continue marching directly to the southeast, aiming directly at Seoul.  The Japanese troops in Kaicheng also continued to retreat to Kaicheng without stopping, and the two sides encountered each other south of Kaicheng.  "Master's seat, Japs have been spotted in front, the strength of the troops is unknown." A subordinate's alarm came from the radio intercom in the tank in which Gao Chu was riding.  "What kind of army are the Japs?" Gao Chu asked, holding a walkie-talkie.  "They are infantry, but most of them ride in military trucks, and there are also some cavalry." "This should be the Japanese troops retreating from the front line." Gao Chu pondered for a moment and said: "Order each company to attack them immediately and eliminate them.  " "Yes." A cheerful response came from the intercom.  Nearly a hundred No. 4 tanks and combat vehicles quickly prepared for battle, adjusted their muzzles and barrels and headed straight for the Japanese retreating team.  The Japanese army apparently also discovered this Chinese tank unit that suddenly appeared behind them.  At the same time, they all turned around and ran away.  Having exchanged fire with the Northeast Border Guard Army more than once, they already have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness and threat of the Northeast Border Guard Army's tank unit.  So in this case, when encountering the Northeast Army tank troops, there will no longer be Japanese cavalry waving sabers and lances to launch active suicide attacks on tanks and armored vehicles.  More than a thousand Japanese soldiers turned around one after another, but it was easy for the cavalry to turn around. How could dozens of Japanese-style military trucks turn around so smoothly in a hurry?  At the moment of panic, the tank regiment commanded by Gao Chu arrived and dozens of tanks suddenly appeared like a pack of wolves on the grassland.  The black tank barrel fired a round of death flames that hit the Japanese truck that was unable to turn around.  "Boom, boom, boom" In the earth-shattering explosion, more than a dozen Japanese military trucks were blown into a pile of scrap metal. The Japanese soldiers on them disappeared before they even had time to scream.  In the firelight.  The other Japanese were so frightened that they jumped out of the car and fled for their lives.  Gao Chu gave an order, and nearly a hundred tanks rushed forward with a rumble. Nearly two hundred vehicle-mounted machine guns fired wildly. The dense rain of bullets knocked down the Japanese in pieces like wheat.  Such an encounter was obviously a one-sided massacre.  Except for the more than 300 Japanese cavalry who managed to escape by running fast, the more than 600 Japanese infantry and a dozen military trucks were all destroyed.  The remaining twenty or so military trucks became prisoners of the Northeastern Army. In the previous battle, Gao Chu saw that the Japanese infantry had jumped out of their vehicles to escape, so he ordered the troops not to continue shelling the Japanese trucks.  Because he took a fancy to the gasoline in the Japanese mailbox.  More than 20 military trucks passed by the Japanese and consumed all the way, and there was not much gasoline left.  But it is better than nothing. For the high school tank regiment, every drop of gasoline is extremely precious now.  After annihilating more than 600 Japs, an adjutant asked for instructions: "Master, what should we do? Should we continue to advance towards Seoul?" Gao Chu had already jumped out of the tank, looked at the battlefield, and said: "From these  Judging from the Japs' equipment, they are probably not the last batch of Japs to escape from Pingcheng. If they are the last batch of Japanese troops to evacuate, then there should be a pursuit force of our Southern Route Army behind them.  The Japanese would definitely not dare to turn around and run back. Otherwise, with the fierce fighting between us and them, why haven't the pursuing troops of the South Route Army made any movement for a long time? The adjutant asked, "What do you mean?"  ?  "Immediately use the radio to send electricity to the South Route Army headquarters, inform them of our current position and the battle situation just now, and ask them where the main force of the defeated Japanese army should be now."  Where are their forward pursuit troops?  "Gao Chu ordered. "Yes.  "The adjutant moved his pen like flying. He quickly wrote down his words one by one, turned around and took the order. Pingcheng. Wang Yizhe and others had just settled down and were so exhausted that they didn't even have time to close their eyes. A correspondent  The soldier ran in quickly with a telegram in hand, saluted Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others: "Commander-in-Chief, we have received an urgent telegram from the North Route Army.  " After saying that, he handed the message to them respectfully. Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other and reached out to take the message. Zhao Zhenfan saw that Wang Yizhe's face was dull and there was no reaction, so he quickly asked: "Commander-in-Chief, what's going on with the Northern Route Army?  " "They have advanced to Kaicheng and just fought a battle with a Japanese army. Gao Chu suspected that it was probably the first batch of Japanese troops to escape.  He asked us to provide the locations of our divisions’ pursuit troops and the locations of areas where the main force of the Japanese army might have fled.  "Wang Yizhe said. "Really?  "Zhao Zhenfan said: "Their marching speed is really fast. So it seems that the Japanese army retreating from Pingcheng may have been cut off by our army?  Wang Yizhe nodded solemnly and said: "It's very possible. We can look at the map. The distance from Pingcheng to Kaicheng is more than 150 kilometers. It has only been more than ten hours since the Japanese retreated."  They are not fully mechanized like us, and their marching speed is fast. Even if they march in a hurry, they can barely reach Kaicheng at best.  " "Then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the main force of the Japanese army that evacuated from Pingcheng can be wiped out in one fell swoop, then the next battle in Seoul will be much easier to fight.  Zhao Zhenfan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Old sir, let's contact Gao Chu as soon as possible and ask him to block the Japanese army's escape to the south, buy time for my pursuit troops to arrive, and strive to annihilate the Japanese army in Kaicheng."  area.  ” ps: There are only two updates today.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 332 The bloody battle of Panmunjom (Part 1) First update

    About ten kilometers southeast of Kaicheng, before receiving a reply from the South Route Army, Gao Chu ordered the tank regiment he led to stand ready and prepare for battle. Nearly a hundred tanks were divided into three batches, completely blocking the way for the Japanese army to escape south.  Blocked.  There are also armored vehicles patrolling nearby.  At this moment, Gao Chu was sitting on a tank truck smoking a cigarette, anxiously waiting for a call back from the South Route Army, and at the same time waiting for the Japanese troops that might come ahead.  He frowned, and the cigarette in his hand turned red from time to time, which was a bit dazzling in the dark night.  “All tanks and vehicles are in a stationary state, and officers and soldiers are calmly waiting for a possible battle to come.  Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from behind.  Gao Chu, who was sitting on the tank, turned around when he heard the sound and saw a communications soldier running over quickly with a message in his hand.  When he arrived, the communications soldier stood up to attention and saluted: "Sir, the South Route Army called back." Gao Chu flicked out the cigarette butt in his hand, reached out to take the message, turned on the flashlight and read it once, closed the message with a snap, and made a prompt decision.  Said: "Order all companies to defend strictly. This time we will cooperate with the Northern Route Army to make dumplings for the little devils!" "Yes." The communications soldier immediately took the order and turned around.  The leader of the tank regiment came from the front for inspection. He had obviously heard Gao Chu's order just now, and stepped forward and asked: "Master, are we not going to Seoul?" "We won't go for the time being. The Japanese who fled from Pingcheng are still driving  To the north of the city, the one we just defeated was their vanguard. Now that we stay and cooperate with the Northern Route Army to annihilate this Japanese army, the next battle in Seoul will be much easier," Gao Chu said.  The regiment leader nodded. Originally, the risk of attacking Seoul with only one regiment would be greater.  But now it is obviously not easy to block the main force of the Japanese army evacuating from Pingcheng.  But Gao Chu, the division commander, had already spoken out and set an example by fighting alongside them. What else could he, the regiment commander, have to say?  At that moment, he deployed his troops on his own.  Get ready for the fierce battle that follows.  About 20 kilometers northeast of Kaesong, the 9th and 19th Divisions, as well as a large number of Japanese logistics agencies, including field hospitals and other troops evacuated from Pingcheng, totaling about 20,000 people, are rapidly advancing towards Kaesong.  Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves in front. The vanguard team had already discovered that it was one of their own, and let them go straight to the rear of the troop formation.  Several cavalrymen galloped over with panicked expressions.  While running, he shouted urgently: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, where are you? Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have an urgent military report!" A Japanese-style military truck suddenly stopped, the door opened, and a man carrying a saber was  The Japanese general jumped down.  Upon seeing this, the leader of the Japanese cavalry immediately jumped off his horse and said to the Japanese general as if he was mourning for his heir: "Report to your Excellency, General. Our 9th Reconnaissance Regiment encountered a Chinese Army tank force ten kilometers south of Kaicheng. More than 600 Imperial Army warriors  If we can't retreat, the entire reconnaissance company will be wiped out!" "What?" The Japanese general was shocked when he heard this.  He hurriedly asked: "How many tanks does the China Army have? Do they have infantry??" "There are no less than a hundred tanks. Their assault was very fast and violent. Our reconnaissance wing was unable to parry it, so it is still unknown whether there is infantry."  The Japs Cavalry lowered his head in shame.  "Bagaya Road, the damned Chinese!" The Japanese general was Watanabe Murai, the current commander of the 9th Division. He was pacing back and forth as anxiously as an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly, he said to his cavalryman: "  You should immediately reconnoiter the specific strength of the Chinese army and see if there are any infantry. " "Hai!" The Japanese cavalry gritted their teeth and mounted their horses.  He led a few subordinates to turn around and return the way they came.  After watching the cavalry leave, Watanabe Murai said to the adjutant on the side: "Immediately notify the commander of the 19th Division, Lieutenant General Jin Guangyou, and the commanders of each brigade and regiment commanders to come for a meeting! Hurry up." "  "Hai." The adjutant lowered his head suddenly and turned around to leave.  Not long after, several Japanese-style trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles came rushing from behind.  From above came down a Japanese lieutenant general, two major generals, three colonels, and two center and left officers.  The lieutenant general is obviously Jin Guangyou, the commander of the 19th Division.  See them coming.  Watanabe Murai didn't care about being polite, so he waved his hand and said to them: "Everyone, come here quickly, the situation is urgent. We must make a decision as soon as possible!" Before Jin Guangyou and the others arrived, Japanese servicemen had prepared maps, flashlights and folding  Portable small wooden table for marching.  The map has already been laid out on the table.  Jin Guangyou and others saw Watanabe Murai’s serious expression,Knowing that the matter was important, he didn't waste any time and quickly gathered around.  Everyone gathered around the map, and Jin Guangyou asked doubtfully: "General Watanabe, are you in such a hurry to come to us, is there any major emergency?" Watanabe Murai nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, I  The division's reconnaissance regiment encountered a tank unit of the China Army south of Kaicheng. The reconnaissance regiment returned with a disastrous defeat. Our retreat to Seoul was probably blocked by the China Army. " Watanabe Murai said this.  As soon as it came out, everyone present changed their minds. Jin Guangyou even asked with a horrified look: "Is the news accurate?" Apparently his 19th Division had been frightened by the Northeast Border Guards. He changed his mind at the mention of it, not to mention that it was the rear.  The road is cut off.  Watanabe Murai almost died, suppressing his anger and said: "Of course it is true, how could I joke with the lives of more than a thousand imperial soldiers in my reconnaissance unit?" "Then, your Excellency, division commander, we have a strong enemy in front of us now.  There are pursuers behind, what should I do?" a Japanese commander asked with a nervous and confused look on his face.  Several other major generals, colonels, and lieutenants also nodded in agreement, focusing all their attention on Watanabe Murai.  It is obvious that he has been regarded as the backbone. In fact, since the 19th Division was hit hard one after another and all units suffered heavy losses, Watanabe's 9th Division has subtly replaced the 19th Division's dominant position.  Without soldiers and horses, there is no human rights.  Watanabe Murai looked down at the map in spite of everyone's expectant gazes and said: "There is only one road leading to Seoul. If we want to go around, we have to climb over the mountainous areas on both sides. It will be extremely difficult for us. I  The reconnaissance wing has been asked to reconnoiter the strength of the Chinese army. If they only have tanks and no main infantry, then even if we fight to the death, we still have a chance to break out. " Watanabe Murai said no.  Having said that, if there are still a large number of main infantry forces of the Northeast Army blocking the road ahead, combining infantry and tanks to defend according to danger, the fate of their 20,000-strong army can be imagined.  Jin Guangyou and other Japanese officers looked sad, and did not say much, quietly waiting for the reconnaissance team's report.  It didn’t take long for a cavalryman to rush towards the sign like a storm.  The sound of the galloping horses struck the heart of every Japanese officer. No one knew whether the upcoming news was hope or bad news.  While everyone was waiting nervously and expectantly, the Japanese cavalry came from far and near, galloping in with lightning speed. The Japanese cavalry on horseback suddenly pulled the reins, and the war horse let out a long mournful cry, its front hooves rose into the air, and the whole horse stood upright.  He rose up and fell down hard, spinning around twice before he stopped.  The Japanese cavalry above quickly turned over and dismounted, saluted suddenly to Watanabe Murai and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, according to the reconnaissance of our scouts, the Chinese army in front only has tank troops, and there is no large number of infantry." Watanabe Murai and Jin Guangyou  When the others heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Watanabe Murai waved his hand and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and continue to monitor." "Hai!" The Japanese cavalry got on the horse again, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and fiercely  A whip was struck hard on the horse's butt. The horse felt the pain, neighed, let go of its hooves and continued to gallop forward.  After the cavalry scouts left, Watanabe Murai said to Jin Guangyu and others: "With the blessing of the Emperor, the main force of the Chinese has not arrived yet. This must be just one of their vanguard armored units, otherwise our 20,000 warriors will die tonight."  No burial place!” Although Watanabe Murai’s words didn’t sound good, Jin Guangyou and others didn’t care. What he said was indeed the truth.  Jin Guangyou said: "Watanabe-kun, there is a Chinese pursuit force behind us. The situation is urgent. Let's quickly deploy how to break out!" Watanabe Murai nodded, and gathered around the map with Jin Guangyou and others and began to get nervous.  of discussion.  Kaesong, formerly known as Songdo, was originally the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Goryeo. It has a history of more than 400 years and is located near the 38th Parallel. Later, the military demarcation line of the Koryo Peninsula and Panmunjeom, the negotiation site, are both in Kaesong.  The reason why Kaesong was called Songdu by the ancient Goryeo people is because Kaesong is located in the Songak Mountains with dense pine forests. The pine forests here are dense and the mountains are steep. It is an important transportation area connecting North and South Korea.  About half an hour later, Watanabe Murai and Jin Guangyou led all 20,000 Japanese troops to enter Kaicheng City. The moment thousands of Japanese troops entered the city, they began to dig and build fortifications on both sides of Songak Mountain along the road outside the city.  The intention was obvious, and they planned to rely on Songak Mountain to resist the pursuers of the Northeastern Border Guards who might come at any time.  At the same time, Watanabe Murai and Jin Guangyu gathered the remaining 30 tanks and light armored vehicles of the two divisions, as well as more than 5,000 of the most elite combat troops, preparing to attack the enemy who was guarding the official road and blocking their southward retreat.  Gao Chu's troops launched an attack. ?Since the 19th Division and the 9th Division were almost in a state of defeat and retreat for the past two days, there has never been a real tragic battle. Therefore, as the division's most valuable direct-affiliated unit, the tank squadron has been accompanying the division headquarters.  During the operation, there was no chance to fight with the tank troops of the Northeast Border Guard, so it was saved.  But at the moment, Watanabe Murai and Jin Guangyou can no longer care about so much. In order to save the life and death of the 20,000-strong army, they have used the only remaining wealth they can afford to prepare for a decisive battle with the Northeastern Border Guards.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 333 The bloody battle of Panmunjom (Part 2) Second update

    "Master, I understand, our current location is called Panmunjom!" About ten kilometers south of Kaicheng, several scouts sent by Gao Chu returned to report.  "Panmunjom?" Gao Chu had never heard of this place name, and there was no standard on the map, so he just sent out a few soldiers to reconnoiter the surroundings. He couldn't wait for a fight. He didn't even know where he was. He didn't know where he was.  How does he report and account to the commander-in-chief?  "Well, it's Panmunjom. I took my brothers and walked about two kilometers further. I met several aborigines. After communication, they told us that this place is called Panmunjom Village." The leader of the squad nodded.  "Okay, remember everything, Panmunjom. If the little Japs come later, all the troops will give me a hard beating. Before dawn, I must hold Panmunjom to death, and I must not let a little Japs escape from here."  Get out!" Gao Chu ordered.  As soon as he finished speaking, an armored vehicle drove up in front.  The armored car was very fast and arrived in a blink of an eye. There was a second lieutenant officer squatting on the roof of the car. Before the car stopped, the second lieutenant officer said to Gao Chu: "Master's seat, five kilometers ahead, we found a large number of Japanese soldiers, heading towards us.  "Come here." "Oh? How many soldiers are there? How about the firepower?" Gao Chu suddenly became more energetic and asked.  "The Japs' strength is around two regiments, and there are many tanks and cavalry!" the second lieutenant replied breathlessly.  "Tank? Cavalry?" Gao Chu's expression perked up when he heard this, and he raised his head and laughed: "Haha, this must be the main force of the little devils. Even the tanks were sent out. Damn it, all the people were annihilated along the way.  These Korean Japs and Xiaoyu Xiaoxia are not happy at all. It’s great to teach the Japs’ tank troops a lesson. It’s so damn enjoyable!”  Give these stupid little devils a good beating and show them what a real tank assault is!" Gao Chu ordered with a wave of his hand in excitement.  The leader of the tank regiment said in a low voice with a gloomy look on his face: "Master, let's wait for the Japanese to come before we fight. If we wait for the enemy to work, we have a better chance of winning!"  Gao Chu said loudly and disapprovingly.  "Master, don't get excited. It's not that we are timid and dare not move forward. In fact, we don't have much fuel. I think we should save as much as we can. Good steel is used on the blade. There are still several days until dawn.  Within hours. We don’t know when the pursuit troops of the Southern Route Army will arrive, and we don’t know how long we will be able to hold them back,” the regiment leader said in a earnest voice.  "That's it." The senior high school student was so excited that he forgot about it.  Sansan smiled and said: "Okay, let the brothers in each company cheer up for me. Let's wait for the little devils to come and then fight!" For the Japanese army marching at full speed, the five-kilometer journey was less than twenty  Minutes have arrived.  Gao Chu was sitting in a tank when suddenly there was a huge explosion on the official road ahead.  He stood up and looked away, only to see that the soaring fire was so dazzling in the dark night.  Soon, the wireless intercom in the tank rang: "Master, the Japs are here, we just destroyed a Japanese tank!" "Haha, good job, we killed a Japs as soon as we met.  Iron bastard! You did a great job, but don’t take advantage of it!" Gao Chu said overjoyed.  At this time, several violent explosions suddenly sounded from the walkie-talkie.  "Hurry up, hurry up, the little devils are shelling us! But there is no danger, their shells can't penetrate our front armor!" The report of the tank commander who was in charge of guarding came back to Gao Chu's ears.  "The whole regiment is ready to fight. All tanks are aiming at the official road one kilometer ahead. Give me a bloody blast!" Gao Chu picked up the walkie-talkie and immediately ordered all the tanks.  In the dark night.  Nearly a hundred Panzer IV tanks and combat vehicles scattered on the road and in the wilderness on both sides began to adjust their firing angles.  The huge cannon barrels began to rise rapidly, and then hundreds of cannons fired in unison.  "Boom, boom, boom" Balls of flames spurted out from the barrel, and dazzling fireballs rose into the sky with a deafening roar.  They all smashed down toward the official road ahead.  On the official road, dozens of Japanese tanks were chasing a Northeastern Army tank.  "Boomboom" Nearly a hundred rounds of 75mm high-explosive bombs hit the enemy head-on.  The violent explosion immediately enveloped more than a dozen Japanese tanks. The dazzling fire and huge shock wave destroyed more than half of them in an instant. Some shells fell directly on the Japanese tanks, immediately turning them into a pile of scrap metal.  The roaring explosion shook the earth and the earth, and the dazzling fire was highRising up in the sky, it can be clearly seen from a distance of more than ten miles.  Nearly ten Japanese tanks were blown into scrap metal, and the fire was still burning. The Japanese tanks that followed hurriedly braked, and panicked and moved their muzzles in an attempt to fire back.  More than twenty 37mm Japanese tanks fired one after another, and explosions sounded near the tank regiment. Several No. 4 tanks in the front were in the center of the explosion.  But after the fire flashed, the Panzer IV tanks continued to fire, apparently without any damage.  The Japanese's 37mm tank gun obviously couldn't pose a threat to the Panzer IV at such a long distance. The projectiles it fired exploded, which seemed to be quite powerful, but the power was more than twice as powerful as the 75mm tank gun of the Panzer IV.  .  This kind of firepower is no better than the Eighth Route Army and the Eighth Route Army, which have no armor protection capabilities. For the tank troops of the Northeast Border Guard, it is nothing more than scratching an itch.  "Entire regiment assault!" Gao Chu picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered sternly.  Nearly a hundred tanks received the order at the same time and started one after another. The tanks' engines made bursts of ear-splitting rumbles and rushed straight towards the Japanese tank troops along the official road.  Not long after rushing out, they encountered the tank that had been on guard earlier. They joined forces and rushed forward with a rumble.  One kilometer away, the Japanese had lost thirteen tanks, nine of which were completely destroyed and turned into a pile of scrap metal. The remaining four were overturned or had their tracks broken by the violent explosion shock wave, and broke down on the spot.  All the tank crew drivers were shocked to death by the sound.  The remaining twenty or so Japanese tanks were still carrying out meaningless counterattacks. At this moment, they discovered that a large number of enemy tanks appeared in front of them.  The huge tank body, wide tracks, and deafening roar of the engine almost suppressed the sound of their shelling.  The enemy tanks came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, four or five tanks rushed towards the ruins of the tanks that had just been attacked by the imperial army.  The Japanese soldiers were shocked, because they saw that the five Chinese tanks actually knocked away the destroyed tank body of their own.  Facing their huge size, our own tank’s ruined bodies are like tiny toy cars.  More than a dozen abandoned tanks were rammed by them, all of them knocked over to both sides of the official road, and a passage was forcibly knocked out.  Before the Japanese tank soldiers could recover from their surprise, the three Panzer IV tanks in front suddenly roared.  Three dazzling fireballs roared in, and the two Japanese tanks had no time to dodge.  Three armor-piercing rounds accurately hit their front armor. The last front armor of the Japanese was in front of them. It was vulnerable to a single blow and was penetrated instantly. Several violent explosions directly destroyed it.  The violent explosion and the monstrous fire were so blinding that the other Japanese tank soldiers came back to their senses.  They all adjusted their muzzles to fight back.  At the same time, a large number of No. 4 tanks of the Northeast Border Guard swarmed in. A larger round of artillery fire struck, and several more Japanese tanks were destroyed on the spot.  With such close contact, escape was obviously impossible, and the two sides then engaged in a series of exchanges of fire.  However, the results of the battle caused all Japanese tank soldiers to fall into deep despair, because they found that their shells could not pose any threat to the Northeast Frontier Army tanks on the opposite side.  On the contrary, it is the opponent's tanks, which can hit one's own tanks almost one at a time.  In the end, as the distance got closer, the tank crews of the Northeastern Army simply set up their vehicle-mounted machine guns to fire at the Japanese tanks.  The armor of the poor Japanese tank was extremely weak, and in some places it could not withstand the dense rain of machine gun bullets, and was penetrated by countless small holes.  What’s more, the tank soldiers of the Northeast Army directly drove the tanks and rushed over quickly, slamming into the few remaining Japanese tanks, causing them to roll over and make them miserable.  The wounded Japanese soldier who managed to climb out of the tank was shot dead on the spot by a dense hail of machine gun bullets.  At this time, the five thousand Japanese infantrymen who followed were all dumbfounded. They knew that the tank troops of the Northeast Border Guard were very powerful, but they did not expect that their own tank troops were so vulnerable.  In such a short period of time, they were all wiped out by their opponents, and not even one of them escaped.  In fact, this is also an inevitable result. Putting aside the huge gap in tank performance between the two sides, in terms of quantity, the Northeast Border Guard Army has an absolute advantage.  Nearly three times the number of Japanese tanks.  So when the Japanese infantry brigade arrived at the battle site, they happened to see their own tank troops being annihilated in the torrent of iron armor from the Northeast Border Guards.  Found Japanese infantry, no need toGao Chu gave the order, and the tank soldiers, who were eager to kill, spontaneously continued the attack.  Tank guns, vehicle-mounted machine guns, all weapons opened fire one after another. The dense and powerful machine gun firepower immediately enveloped the hundreds of Japanese charging ahead.  Amid the violent explosions, the Japanese fell down in pieces like wheat.  While firing fiercely, they charged forward. With the powerful assault firepower, the tank regiment quickly defeated the 5,000 Japanese elite who had already lost all intention to fight due to the annihilation of their own tank troops.  The tank regiment chased and killed all the way along the official road, until the Japanese corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 334: The bloody battle of Panmunjom (Part 2) Third update

    In Kaicheng City, inside the temporary headquarters of the Japanese 9th Division.  There were gunfire sounds ahead, but the headquarters of the 9th Division was unusually quiet. Watanabe Murai, Jin Guangyou and others had extremely solemn expressions. It was obvious that they were waiting for the results of the attacking troops.  The atmosphere in the headquarters was very depressing, except for a few people whose breathing was so startled that you could hear it.  Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from outside.  Watanabe Murai, Jin Guangyou and others raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saw an unkempt Major Officer running in with staggering steps, covered in black and gray.  Before he could reach them, he fell to his knees and cried with grief and anger: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the imperial army's attack failed. The two tank squadrons were completely wiped out. All tanks, combat vehicles and armored vehicles were destroyed."  All tanks and armor were destroyed, and no one was spared. The five thousand imperial infantry were also attacked by the powerful firepower of the Chinese army's tank troops. They suffered heavy losses and were defeated. Watanabe Murai and Jin Guangyou retreated after hearing this!  Stunned on the spot, with a dazed look on his face, Watanabe Murai ran over, grabbed the Japanese Major by the lapel of his clothes and roared with protruding blue veins on his face: "Bagaya Road, how could this happen?  what happened?  "Jin Guangyou staggered to the back with a pale face, desperate to the extreme. The Japanese Major lowered his head in shame and anger, not knowing how to answer Watanabe. Watanabe Murai roared a few times, let go of the Japanese Major, and turned around  Standing up, a Japanese major general asked: "General, what should we do?  Are you going to defend Kaicheng?  " Watanabe Murai was silent for a moment with red eyes, and suddenly roared: "We can't just admit defeat, we still have a chance!  " "Your Excellency General, the China Army's tank troops have powerful firepower and excellent armor protection. If we launch an attack rashly with only infantry, we will definitely suffer huge losses.  And may not be able to successfully break through.  "Japan Major General thought that Watanabe Murai was going to continue to launch such a suicidal breakout attack, so he reminded him. Unexpectedly, Watanabe Murai pointed at him angrily and reprimanded: "Baga, you are a big stupid pig!  " "Hai!  "The Japanese Major General suddenly lowered his head, and kept saying yes. He remained silent and did not dare to say more. Only then did Watanabe Murai say with a ferocious face: "Aren't there many Koreans in Kaicheng City?  Take them all, put them in front, and attack the Chinese army!  " The Japanese Major General changed his color upon hearing this and said, "Your Excellency, General.  I am afraid that the Chinese army will not stop firing because of these Koreans, because these are not their compatriots.  " "Baga, I didn't expect them to cease fire and give way. Instead, I tried my best to use the Koreans to consume the Chinese ammunition. Once their ammunition is exhausted, we can successfully break through!  "A sinister sneer appeared at the corner of Watanabe Murai's mouth. "Your Excellency, General, is wise!  "The Japanese Major General suddenly understood, and suddenly lowered his head to flatter me. Even Jin Guangyou, who had almost lost his fighting spirit just now, stood up and said with some excitement: "Watanabe-kun, this method of yours is really great.  It’s perfect to use the despicable Koreans as cannon fodder!  " "Hahaha" Several old Japs suddenly let out a burst of extremely proud and evil laughter. Soon, groups of Japs soldiers began to arrest Korean civilians from house to house in Kaicheng City, regardless of men, women, old and young.  They were all driven away from home and headed south of the city. If they showed any slight disobedience, they would immediately use their bayonets to attack them. Two kilometers south of Panmunjom, all the tank soldiers had already retreated in excitement.  They kept talking about the battle. It was obvious that they had not experienced such a thrilling battle for a long time. It was the most exciting thing in the hearts of every officer and soldier.  The discussion was chaotic and intensive. Gao Chu climbed out of the tank and was smoking, accompanied by the commander of the tank regiment. "Master, the battle just now was so damn good. We killed at least a thousand little Japs."  .  "The leader of the tank regiment said with unfinished content. Gao Chu nodded and praised: "Yes, we killed more than 30 Japanese tanks in the first battle. This is probably all the wealth of the little devil.  Without tanks and armored vehicles, the remaining Japanese infantry would not be able to do much good.  "The leader of the tank regiment beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly. Gao Chu took a puff of cigarette and said seriously: "I wonder if the little devil will leave the city and continue to break out of the encirclement!  " "I definitely don't dare to do it anymore. Without tanks and armored troops, isn't it just a matter of death if we only rely on infantry?  "The tank regiment leader said.  "It's possible that a dog will bite someone when it's anxious, let alone tens of thousands of little devils." After Gao Chu finished speaking, he asked: "By the way, have you contacted the South Route Army? Where are their pursuit troops now?  "When can we get to Kaicheng?" "I just contacted them. Their nearest pursuit unit is less than two hours away from Kaicheng. They will definitely be able to arrive before dawn." Captain of the Tank Regiment.  road.  "Give them more power and urge them to speed up their march and come as soon as possible. Once they arrive and launch an attack on Kaicheng, the Japanese in the city will be in a difficult situation of fighting on two sides. If they want to break out, they will be powerless!" Gao  Chu said: "In addition, please send a message to the commander-in-chief about our victory just now, and also report the current battle situation." "Yes!" The tank regiment leader jumped off the tank and immediately took the order.  ……………………… Andong County, Northeast Border Defense Army Headquarters.  "Commander, Gao Chu personally led a tank regiment to Panmunjom near Kaicheng before the Japanese army, and stopped all the main Japanese troops retreating south. "Currently, the pursuit troops of the South Route Army are advancing at full strength, preparing to encircle and open up with the North Route Army.  City, annihilate the enemy and Kaicheng." Jiang Baili, who had just finished his work, took the message from a communications soldier and reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  "High school? Panmunjom?" As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan was very familiar with Panmunjom and couldn't help but be surprised.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's surprised expression, Jiang Baili smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's Panmunjom. Gao Chu also reported that just now, they repelled a counterattack by the Japs and killed more than a thousand little Japs and thirty  "Many Japanese tanks and armored vehicles." Zhang Xinghan turned towards the map, and Jiang Baili quickly followed.  , Found Kaicheng on the map, but not Panmunjom. Jiang Baili looked down at the message, pointed a little southeast of Kaicheng and said: "Panmunjet should be here." Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and nodded happily: "  Very good, tell Gao Chu, use all your strength to stop the Japanese army, and never let a little Japanese break out from Panmunjom. After this battle is won, there will be no more fighting south of the 38th parallel! As for attacking Seoul, it will be much easier.  "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded and said, "I think so too. Without the more than 20,000 little devils, the Japanese army in Seoul will never exceed 30,000, and they will not be able to stop my more than 200,000 army and air force.  "Unfortunately, our army's logistics support and transportation capabilities are still not strong enough to sustain a long-distance assault with an army of 200,000." Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sigh.  "Commander, you must not say that. In just three years, it is not easy for our army to develop to this level. This time we entered the battle of Goryeo, we fought a lightning attack, and it took just three days.  It has advanced almost a thousand miles south, sweeping across the Japanese army from the Yalu River to the 38th Parallel. The speed is extremely alarming. It is difficult for any country to provide logistical support in a timely manner.  In Jiang Baili’s opinion, this kind of support capability is already quite outstanding.  But Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler. As a modern soldier, he has seen the terrifying logistics support capabilities, combat power projection, land, sea and air joint assault capabilities of a truly modern army, etc.  Naturally, he is not very satisfied with the current performance of his troops.  But when he thought about it, the gap between the two sides was based on a time difference of nearly a century, and Zhang Xinghan was relieved.  The reason why he is dissatisfied with the assault speed and logistical support of the troops is because the Japanese local reinforcements may rush to the Koryo Peninsula at any time.  If the entire peninsula cannot be captured in time and the Japanese troops on the island are either wiped out or driven off the island, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive on the island, the Battle of Koryo will become a war of attrition and a protracted war that he least wants to see.  Because in that case, we are likely to repeat the defeat of the North Korean army in history.  “The North Korean army has the whole nation of the Chinese Volunteer Army to help them regain their country, but they do not have any strong back-up, and they can be said to be surrounded by powerful enemies.  The warlords in the pass are nothing to worry about. The biggest threat is Lao Maozi, who was defeated by the Northeast Army twice in a row.  Now they may have known that the Northeast Army has sent troops to the Goryeo Peninsula. It is not difficult to imagine that if the Northeast Army falls into a protracted war in Goryeo, or is defeated and retreats, Lao Maozi is likely to make a comeback and attack Northern Manchuria again.  But let’s not focus on the victory or defeat of the Kwantungbei Army for now. In this battle, Zhang Xinghan also discovered some areas that need to be strengthened and improved. The most important thing is that the logistics support force needs to be strengthened.  Zhang XinghanIt has been decided that after this battle is over, he must reorganize a logistics department independent of the combat troops to be responsible for the logistics support of each unit.  ????……………… Panmunjom.  "Master, the commander-in-chief has called us back." The commander of the tank regiment came to Gao Chu with this message and said with a smile.  "Oh? What did the commander-in-chief say?" Gao Chu asked curiously.  "The commander-in-chief praised us very much and said that he will personally reward us after the battle is over." "Nonsense, I know this without even thinking about it. What else? Are there any other instructions?" Gao Chu turned over.  He rolled his eyes.  "Yes, given that the enemy in Kaesong is the only remaining enemy force south of the 38th Parallel, the commander-in-chief ordered us to hold on to Panmunjom at all costs and cooperate with the South Route Army to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Kaesong!" The tank regiment leader said  He said with a smile.  (To be continued

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 335: Kill without mercy

    As soon as the commander of the tank regiment finished speaking, an armored soldier hurried over, stood up and saluted: "Report to the division seat, regiment seat, report from the forward security post, the Japanese are out again!" "Really?  Gao Chu stood up after hearing this: "Order all the troops to prepare for the battle. The little Japs are determined to continue to teach them a lesson." The armored soldier continued: "But, according to the guard post, the Japs are here."  This time, a large number of Koreans were driven away in front of their team. It seemed that they planned to use Koreans to block bullets for them!" "What?" The tank regiment leader was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but cursed: "Grandma, this is so.  Isn’t the little devil too damn despicable?” “Master, what should we do?” He turned around and asked Gao Chu after he finished scolding.  Gao Chu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said murderously: "Kill without mercy!" The leader of the tank regiment was startled, and then stood up and responded coldly: "Yes!" Gao Chu and others drove the tank and soon discovered the Japanese and the Japanese.  Korean people.  I saw the official road crowded with Koreans. I couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but I could hear their helpless and fearful cries and the Japanese soldiers' scoldings.  "Master, the purpose of the little devil is obvious. He wants the Koreans to be cannon fodder and consume our ammunition!" The voice of the tank regiment leader came through the wireless intercom.  “Don’t be in a hurry to open fire yet, wait until they are close before obeying my orders!” Gao Chu said.  As several flares were launched into the sky, Gao Chu could clearly see that there were at least a thousand Koreans, men and women, old and young, being forced towards them with bayonets by extremely vicious Japanese soldiers.  The number of Japs should be around a thousand, but Gao Chu still didn’t know if there were any troops following behind because it was night and the view was blocked due to the darkness.  The evil intentions of the Japanese are clearly revealed.  Gao Chu was not in a hurry at all. It was not that his tank regiment had enough ammunition. On the contrary, after the battle just now, the ammunition consumption of the tank regiment was indeed not small. If the Japanese really used all the Koreans in Kaicheng as cannon fodder.  The ammunition of the tank regiment will definitely be exhausted.  The reason why he was so sure of Yiran was that he knew that in another hour at most, the pursuit troops of the Southern Route Army would arrive.  With their participation, the Japanese want to break out with all their strength.  Nothing short of wishful thinking.  And, looking at the time, it was already past three in the morning, and it would be daybreak in three hours at the latest.  By then, our own air force will be able to join the battle. No matter how much artillery fire the Japanese have, it won’t be enough for those bastards in the air force to bomb it.  And in these three hours, even if all the Japs mobilized, there would not be enough time to capture all the Koreans in the city and use them as cannon fodder.  Seeing the Koreans being escorted by Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer, Gao Chu picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Attention, all companies. The enemy is revitalizing intensively. In order to save ammunition, all tanks will use tank guns to bombard them with high-explosive incendiary bombs!"  It was not unreasonable for Gao Chu to be appointed commander-in-chief of the North Route Army by Zhang Xinghan.  He is one of Zhang Xinghan's few old subordinates and an absolute confidant. He looks careless and has a bad temper. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are rough and fine.  As wise as he was foolish, he immediately thought of the best way to deal with these Koreans and Japanese.  More than two thousand Japanese and Koreans crowded on the not-so-wide official road and fired intensively with vehicle-mounted machine guns.  You can also shoot them all, but the killing effect and speed are far less effective than using artillery fire.  With such a crowded crowd, the effect of one shot will be extremely amazing.  Especially the incendiary bombs, the effect produced by one shot will make all the Japanese and Koreans despair.  When the Japanese pushed the Koreans to within a thousand meters, the cunning little Japanese stopped and just set up machine guns and shouted at more than a thousand Koreans to run forward.  When the Koreans hesitated a little, their rifle machine guns opened fire one after another, killing one as a warning to others.  This strategy of the Japanese succeeded very quickly. After seeing that the Japanese actually opened fire and felled dozens of compatriots, more than a thousand Koreans rushed forward like sheep being chased by wolves.  The light of the illumination bomb had faded. Gao Chu only heard the gunshots of the Japanese and the miserable howls and cries of the Koreans. He had no idea that the Japanese had such a deliberate intention.  ??Immediately gave the order to fire on the walkie-talkie.  At this time, the gunners and ammunition handlers of all tanks and vehicles had already replaced incendiary bombs. Following Gao Chu's order, all tanks and vehicles fired their guns one after another.  Nearly a hundred incendiary bombs roared into the Korean crowd. The Koreans ran miserably in the firelight, screaming, and the raging fire swallowed them up in an instant.An hour later, the fire finally dimmed.  There was a smell of burnt meat in the air, and all the soldiers were almost nauseated by the smell.  Looking at the miserable scene in front of him that was like Shura Hell, Gao Chu couldn't help but sigh: "Damn little Japan, it is really heartless." "Every company, please pay attention, this time there are too many shells for shelling, and we don't have enough ammunition.  There is enough, we must pay attention to economize, next time the bombardment, let the first company fire first, if the effect is not enough, the other companies will open fire again." Gao Chu picked up the walkie-talkie again and gave the order without emotion.  He is a commander. In order to complete the mission, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his own life and that of his subordinates, let alone these Koreans.  Therefore, the compassion in his heart just flashed through his heart, and he once again issued new instructions carefully.  Everything is for the purpose of killing the enemy to the maximum extent and maintaining one's own combat effectiveness for the longest period of time.  The more than a thousand Japanese soldiers obviously did not expect that the Northeastern Border Guards would use incendiary bombs. When they saw more than a thousand Koreans perished in the sea of ??fire in an instant, they seemed to be scared of their souls. They turned around and fled back in a hurry, for fear of the Northeastern Army's incendiary bombs.  falls on oneself.  In Kaicheng City, after learning that the first operation failed, Watanabe Murai waved his hand and ordered: "Continue until all the Koreans in the city are taken out." "Hai!" A Japanese colonel responsible for commanding the specific operation  He lowered his head suddenly, then turned around and took the order to leave again.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away. At the same time, Jiang Gong’s residence in Nanjing.  Duke Jiang was awakened from his sleep by the chief of guards, Wang Shihe. At this time, Chairman Jiang was in good health and it was not a problem to stay up for several nights, so Wang Shihe was not blamed for disturbing him at all.  What’s more, he knew that if there wasn’t something important to report, his cousin would never disturb him at this time.  Putting on a windbreaker casually, Chairman Chiang came to the study and asked Wang Shihe: "Shihe, why are you calling me so urgently for something important?" "Commissioner, I just received news from the Military Command Bureau that the Northeast Frontier Defense  Army Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xinghan led his troops across the Yalu River three days ago and launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula. In just three days, his troops captured nearly a thousand miles of territory and are now close to defeating the 38th Parallel." Wang Shihe said astonishingly.  road.  "What? What did you say?" Chairman Chiang was indeed shocked by the shocking news. He had just sat down and stood up again before he could sit firmly on his buttocks.  "Zhang Xinghan led his army into the court. Within three days, they swept across the Japanese army and almost defeated the 38th Parallel." Wang Shihe could only repeat it briefly.  Chairman Chiang's face remained deeply shocked for a full minute before he returned to normal and said, "How many troops did he mobilize? What was the reaction from Japan?" "According to speculation, it is no less than 200,000!" Wang Shihe replied  road.  "Two hundred thousand?" Chairman Jiang said with a look of astonishment: "Isn't that almost all his troops?" Wang Shihe nodded and said: "It should be considered that all the best are out." "Niang Xipi's,  This Zhang Xinghan is really bold. If the Russians take advantage of this situation, I wonder what he will do!" Chairman Chiang is not vague about his national position. He is not the type of Cixi who would rather give to friends than behave shamelessly with his domestic slaves.  The disciples can compare.  "As for the appointment, do we need to do anything?" Wang Shihe made a pun.  "Do something?" Chairman Chiang looked at Wang Shihe with an intriguing look, and suddenly said: "The Northeastern Army's overseas expedition is a feat that our Chinese nation has never done in the past century. It aims to enhance the prestige of our country and defend our country.  National dignity, I, Jiang, will never stab you in the back at this time." Wang Shihe nodded knowingly: "The committee attaches great importance to the national justice, is broad-minded, and respects the humble position!" ……………………  Hours passed. During this period, the Japanese army organized three attacks using Koreans as cannon fodder.  were smashed by the tank regiment commanded by Gao Chu with a very small amount of incendiary bombs. The Japanese had fully experienced the power of incendiary bombs tonight.  In such a crowded environment, the power of incendiary bombs can be exerted to its maximum. If one person is on fire, it will soon spread to other people, and it will spread from ten to ten.  Often a dozen or twenty incendiary bombs are enough to bury hundreds of Koreans in a sea of ??flames.  After four failures, the Japanese were not reconciled and organized a larger-scale breakout operation this time.  More than two thousand Koreans were captured. By this time, the official road near Panmunjom was already covered with burnt corpses, and the disgusting burning smell filled the air.  During the march, many Koreans could not bear it.They all possessed themselves and vomited.  Some people were so frightened that they lost control, ran around and screamed, but were quickly stabbed to death by Japanese soldiers with bayonets.  This time, Gao Chu ordered his subordinates to launch a batch of incendiary bombs. Through the incendiary bombs, he discovered the Japanese conspiracy to stop advancing thousands of miles away.  He gritted his teeth and said: "Aim the first and second companies at a distance of a thousand meters and launch an indiscriminate artillery bombardment to burn those naughty little devils to death!" The tanks and chariots of the two companies received the order and quickly adjusted their muzzles.  Soon they started firing.  After a muffled sound, dozens of incendiary bombs roared and fell on the heads of the Japanese. On the contrary, those Koreans who had just been forced to run out by the Japanese escaped by chance.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 336: The Japs Enter the Mountains

    When they saw the Japanese who had shot at them ferociously just now, they were instantly swallowed up by the fire and let out ear-piercing screams. The Koreans who were lucky enough to escape ran away one after another, stepping on the corpses of their companions and even their relatives.  Run towards the front.  Gao Chu did not call for a stop, and the shelling from the 1st and 2nd tank companies continued. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were soon covered and devoured by the fire.  The screams of the Japanese were endless and resounded throughout the countryside.  "Master, a large number of Koreans are running over." The urgent voice of the tank regiment leader came over the intercom: "What should we do?" Gao Chu looked at the old and young, and finally couldn't bear it and said:  "Forget it, the Japs are beasts and we are not. We were forced to fire the first few times. Now the Japs are suppressed by our artillery fire and it is impossible to rush over for the time being! Each company retreats temporarily and lets these Koreans go!" "Yes" Tank Regiment  The regiment leader obviously had a clear conscience and could not bear to kill too many innocent people, even if they were Koreans. However, if he was not forced to do so, no one with a little bit of conscience would be able to kill the unarmed people.  .  After all, not all ethnic groups are as cruel, bloodthirsty, and shameless as the Japanese.  Soon, the officers and soldiers of the tank regiment stopped shelling and retreated one after another, leaving a way for the desperate Koreans to survive.  The Koreans had already run not far ahead of them. At first, when they discovered the huge monsters blocking the road in front of them, all of their eyes were filled with despair.  But what they never expected was that these tanks actually retreated on their own initiative.  A few bold Koreans tried to trot forward two steps. After making sure they were safe, all the Koreans rushed southward along the official road like crazy. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the city, the 9th Division temporary headquarters.  A Japanese soldier ran in with a black face, and without even saluting, he reported to Watanabe Murai: "Your Excellency, division commander, it's not good, the escorting troops were discovered by the Chinese army. They were shelled by them. More than a thousand people  Only less than 200 of the imperial warriors survived, and all the others were burned alive, including our captain Colonel Jing Ran. "What about the more than 2,000 Koreans?" Watanabe Murai asked with a twitching mouth.  .  "The Chinese didn't kill them, they let them go." the Japanese soldier replied.  "Bagaya Road!" Watanabe Murai was furious, kicked the Japanese soldier to the ground, and roared with red eyes.  At this moment, another Japanese soldier hurried in, saluted the furious Watanabe Murai and said, "Your Excellency, General. Oh no, a large number of Chinese pursuers were discovered in the north of the city. They are coming!"  " The saber that Watanabe Murai had just pulled out quietly fell to the ground with a clang.  Watanabe Murai murmured sadly: "It's over, everything is over" Panmunjom.  "Divisional seat, there is a call from the South Route Army. The tank regiment directly under the 203rd Division has arrived in the north of Kaicheng City and is launching an attack on the Japanese!" The tank regiment leader came over excitedly and reported to Gao Chu.  "That's great." Gao Chu was overjoyed when he heard this.  Said: "Order the troops to advance to Kaicheng immediately, bombard the south gate of Kaicheng, and cooperate with friendly forces to encircle and destroy the Japanese army!" "Yes!" The tank regiment leader agreed loudly.  He immediately got into his car.  ……………………… On the official road leading to Busan, Okamura Neji’s car was stopped again.  "General, it's not good." The person who stopped the car this time was Chief of Staff Sakurada Goro who had got off the car not long ago to do some work.  "Sakurada-kun, what's going on?" Okamura Neji asked, sitting upright and determined.  "The 9th Division and the 19th Division were cut off by the Chinese Army in the Panmunjom area. There is no hope of breaking out, and they are now besieged in Kaicheng by the Chinese Army!" Sakurada Goro said.  "What?" Okamura Neiji was shocked when he heard this and couldn't believe his ears.  "What did you say? The 9th Division and the 19th Division were surrounded in Kaicheng?" "Yes." Sakurada Goro nodded silently.  Okamura Neiji was furious: "Where did this China army come from?" Sakurada Goro raised his head and said: "General. According to my humble guess, this China army should be attacking from the west coast of the North China Road.  Army." Seeing Okamura Neiji breathing rapidly and sitting silent, Sakurada Goro asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, the 9th Division and the 19th Division have no hope of breaking through. What should we do?  Should the army evacuate before the Chinese army arrives? Or should they go north to rescue the 9th Division?After waiting for a while, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said: "Order them to abandon Seoul immediately and withdraw the entire army to Busan! In addition, I called the rest of the 9th and 19th Divisions, please stick to Kaicheng to the end. They are His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan."  The bravest warrior!" Sakurada Goro quickly lowered his head and said: "Hai! I'm sorry, General, I'll make arrangements now." After saying that, Sakurada Goro turned around and left.  Okamura Neji punched the car door. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently, and blue veins popped out on his forehead.  At this moment, he hated Zhang Xinghan with all his heart, but from another perspective, he respected such an opponent.  In Kaicheng, as the pursuit troops of the Southern Route Army arrived one after another, the Japanese in Pingcheng had become turtles in a urn, unable to escape.  Gao Chu and Liu Jianguo commanded troops to attack from the north to the south. Since the Japanese resistance was still tenacious, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the two agreed to stop the attack and instead form a siege.  Wait for daybreak, call for air force support, and then attack again.  Unlike the joyful morale boosting of the Northeastern border guards, the morale of the Japanese troops in the city has dropped to the extreme. They are trapped in a tight siege, and all the Japanese seem to have anticipated their fate.  Compared with the despair of ordinary soldiers, in the headquarters of the 9th Division, Watanabe Murai was already preparing to commit seppuku after seeing the call from Okamura Neiji.  "Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, Division Commander, we are not at the last moment yet! Please calm down!" Seeing that Watanabe Murai was about to commit seppuku to express his gratitude to the Emperor, several of his subordinates advised him in unison.  "It's not the last moment yet?" Watanabe Murai said with a self-deprecating smile: "Commander Gangcun has sent a clear telegram that the Seoul Imperial Army has begun to evacuate. He ordered us to fight to the end! Can we still have something to do?  What hope?" Several Japanese officers lowered their heads in despair.  Suddenly, a Japanese commander raised his head and said, "Your Majesty General, we still have a way to go!" "What way?" Everyone, including Watanabe Murai, heard this and looked at him in unison.  The Japanese colonel brought a combat map, pointed at the map and said: "We can go into the mountains and take the mountain roads, so that we can escape the pursuit of the China Army's armored forces and the air force!" "Into the mountains?" Another person  A Japanese officer said disapprovingly: "Mr. Sakurano, there is no road at all on this mountain. There may be traps and dead ends everywhere. We have no guide, how can we get out?" "Aren't all roads made by people?  ?” The Japs named Sakurano saw Watanabe Murai somewhat moved and continued to strike while the railway was hot: “Your Majesty General, since Commander Okamura has decided to abandon Seoul, it is meaningless for us to hold on here, and it is meaningless to stay here.  "Death, there may be a chance of survival in the mountains. Why don't we give it a try?" Watanabe Murai put down his saber, put on his clothes, stood up and stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly patted Sakurano thoughtfully.  Colonel's shoulder: "Sakuno-kun, good job." Colonel Sakurano lowered his head in flattery and said, "This is a humble position, but I am just fulfilling my duties. Everything is under your wise leadership, General." "Go and notify the Commander of the Jin Division immediately, and take advantage of the opportunity.  The Chinese army did not attack, so we entered the mountains at night," Watanabe Murai nodded with satisfaction and ordered.  "Hai!" Sakurano Colonel and others bowed their heads in response.  …………………… More than two hours later, it was getting dark. Just when Liu Jianguo was about to send a message to the air force, the officers and soldiers from the front came to report: "Master, all the Japanese on the mountain in front seem to have escaped!" "What?  "Run away?" Liu Jianguo was shocked.  "Yes, he ran away." The person nodded.  "Kaicheng has been surrounded by us from the north to the south, and there are mountainous areas to the east and west. Where can they go?" Liu Jianguo asked in confusion.  "I don't know about this humble position." The visitor lowered his head and said.  "Immediately send electricity to Gaochu and ask them about the situation there." Liu Jianguo said immediately.  "Yes." After the man took the order and left, Liu Jianguo said to the guards and adjutants around him: "Let's go to the front line and have a look." After Gao Chu received Liu Jianguo's message from Panmunjom, he hurriedly led his troops to arrive again.  Heading towards the south gate of the city, we found that all the Japanese on the city wall had disappeared.  At that moment, the two of them led their troops into Kaicheng City easily and successfully joined forces in the city.  "Jianguo, how is the situation?" Gao Chu jumped off a tank and asked Liu Jianguo when he saw him.  "The troops have just entered the city, and the infantry are searching." Liu Jianguo smiled and shook his hand and said, "There should be news soon." "Damn it,"?Why did all the little devils suddenly disappear?  "Gao Chu cursed somewhat depressedly. "There are only two possibilities at present. First, the Japanese had a secret passage in Kaicheng and escaped through it.  "Liu Jianguo didn't finish his words. Gao Chu shook his head repeatedly and said: "This is impossible. If the Japanese really have a secret passage, they ran along it long ago last night. Why would they bother to attack me with so much effort?  "Liu Jianguo smiled and cursed: "Don't wait for me to finish my sentence. You are right. The possibility of the first situation is almost non-existent, so it should be the second possibility. The Japanese have entered the mountain.  " "Into the mountains?  Hearing this, Gao Chu looked around, nodded and said, "Don't tell me yet, it's really possible."  But isn’t this mountain all a dead end?  Do you really dare to go into the mountains?

    While the two were talking, a colonel officer walked over quickly, stood up and saluted the two of them, and said: "Master, Commander Gao, according to our survey, the Japanese have probably entered the mountain." "It seems, Jianguo, you  You guessed it right!" Gao Chu said.  "Into the mountain, is there a road on this mountain?" Liu Jianguo asked.  The colonel officer shook his head and said: "I just asked the surviving Korean people in the city. The mountains on both sides are the Songak Mountains. There are no roads in the deep mountains. Snakes, insects and wild animals are infested in the mountains. There are no human settlements at all, no matter how many people go in."  It's a dead end!" "In that case, we don't have to pursue him."  Liu Jianguo pondered for a moment and asked again: "Have you figured it out? Are you sure there is no road on this mountain? Or is there any other way out of the mountain?" "Well, I will send someone to confirm it immediately." The colonel officer said  After getting Liu Jianguo's nod of approval, he turned and left.  Watching the colonel officer leave, Gao Chu said: "Jianguo, the Japanese have been driven to a dead end by us this time. I guess even if they can get out of this mountain range, there will not be many people alive. In my opinion, we  Report this information as soon as possible, please go up to the peak to make a decision. " "Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll arrange for people to go to the outside of the mountain to take a look. Even if there is no road in the mountain, we still have to scare the little devils.  , Let them dive into the mountains more fearfully, so that they can die faster!" Liu Jianguo nodded.  "Hahaha, you are so thoughtful!" Gao Chu burst out laughing when he heard this.  ???……………… Anton, Northeast Border Defense Force Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan had just slept for a while when Jiang Baili woke him up: "Commander, wake up quickly, Gao Chu has called again." "Huh?" As soon as Zhang Xinghan, who was sleeping soundly, heard that Gao Chu had called again, he suddenly woke up in shock.  He came over, sat up from the bed and said, "How is the situation in Kaicheng?" "You can see for yourself." Jiang Baili smiled and handed him a piece of telegram.  Zhang Xinghan wiped his saliva, took the message and read it, frowning and said: "The little devil is hiding in the forest?" "Yes, it seems that the devil is also driven into panic." Jiang Baili nodded.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Reply to Gao Chu and Jianguo and tell them to confirm carefully that there is no road in the mountains. At the same time, do not relax your vigilance and leave the necessary troops on guard to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of our army's advance."  , and then go back." "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Commander, Pingcheng, Kaicheng and other areas north of the 38th Line were captured by our army, especially the main force of the Japanese army in Kaicheng.  Forced to go into the mountains, life or death is uncertain. "I am worried that something will happen in the direction of Seoul." Zhang Xinghan said to the point: "You mean, they will abandon Seoul?" Jiang Baili nodded and said: "That's true.  Possibly, the Japanese army north of the 38th parallel was basically wiped out by our army, and the Japanese army in Seoul was seriously insufficient in strength. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the commander of the Japanese army not to consider abandoning Seoul, or even abandoning most of South Korea, and directly  Retreat here!" Jiang Baili said and pointed on the map.  "You mean Busan?" Zhang Xinghan said when he saw him pointing to the coastal point on the map.  Jiang Baili nodded.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and said: "Don't tell me, it is really possible. Back then Oh, this place is across the sea from the Japanese mainland. It is the most convenient to get reinforcements from its naval fleet and the mainland. The most important thing is,  By doing this, the enemy can preserve as much strength as possible, trade space for time, delay the decisive battle with our army, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." Zhang Xinghan spoke quickly and almost casually said that this is what the US and South Korean coalition forces did back then, retreating to Busan!  , was suppressed and beaten by Big Fatty Jin’s People’s Army.  Then MacArthur made a move to land in Inchon, and Big Fatty Kim was defeated like a mountain. Hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and the country was completely destroyed.  Jiang Baili didn't know whether he heard this linguistic problem or not, and nodded happily: "Yes, that's the truth." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Let's add a message to Gao Chu and Liu Jianguo's reply, ordering them to wait a moment.  , I will let the Air Force Transport Corps airdrop a batch of fuel and ammunition supplies to them, and then they will immediately lead their troops across the 38th Parallel and advance towards Seoul as fast as possible!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili responded and left.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him: "Brother Baili, wait." "Commander, do you have any other orders?" Jiang Baili stopped and turned around and asked.  "Give electricity to Wang Yizhe and speed up the repair of Pingcheng Airport. The next battle has penetrated into the South Korean Peninsula. The air force's plan to attack the Japanese mainland must be implemented. There will be a delay in the concentration of Japanese reinforcements.Knot and arrival time!  " Zhang Xinghan added. "Yes, I understand.  "Jiang Baili nodded again and immediately took the order. Pingcheng, South Route Army Joint Command. After receiving Zhang Xinghan's telegram, Wang Yizhe immediately ordered Zhao Zhenfan to take people to the airport to rush the repair progress.  While asking Liu Guodong: "Guodong, the chief of staff has prepared supplies for us, can you check where we have arrived?  " "Okay, I'll go right away.  Liu Guodong nodded in response and took the order to leave. After Liu Guodong left, Deputy Division Commander Wu Chengfeng stepped forward and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I heard that the Commander-in-Chief ordered us to advance towards Seoul quickly. Is it true?"  "    "um, yes.  Wang Yizhe nodded truthfully and asked with a smile: "Deputy Commander Wu, what are your plans?"  "Wu Chengfeng rarely blushed and said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, look at what you said, what plans can I have.  " "However, Commander Liu Jianguo and Senior Officer Gao Chu have worked so hard and cannot bear to be humbled by their duties, so I ask the commander-in-chief to approve me to lead the team forward with them!"  "Wu Chengfeng said righteously. Wang Yizhe said with a troubled face: "Deputy Commander Wu, it's not that I don't want to promise you, it's actually that our batch of logistics supplies is still on the way, and the fuel in the military trucks has been gathered together for Commander Liu to take away.  If you want to go to Kaesong now, you can't go there unless you march on foot!  " "Commander-in-Chief, I don't have many troops in my humble position, just one or two guard platoons. Two or three military trucks can still be driven away!  "Wu Chengfeng showed a smile that you know how to say. "Wang Yizhe still wanted to refuse, but Wu Chengfeng begged before he could speak: "Commander-in-Chief, you are wise, mighty and courageous. I have admired you for your humble position for a long time. Under your command, our unit will be here all the way."  Going south, annihilating thousands of enemies, we have achieved brilliant results.  At the Ministry of Grand Division of the North Road Army today, the Southern Road Army Liu Master Liu fought overnight. Presumably, it must be very exhausted. Please also command you to approve your employment to help them!  " A lot of flattery can't be worn, not to mention that Wu Chengfeng is a brave and good tiger general. Wang Yizhe likes him very much. He could only shake his head and smile: "Okay, you kid, don't make me feel disgusted here.  I get goosebumps just listening to this. I’ll give you ten trucks. You can take as many people as you can. Go ahead!  "    "real?  "Wu Chengfeng was immediately overjoyed and quickly stood up and said: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief, I will fight bravely to kill the enemy even if I am in a humble position, even if I am broken into pieces!  " "What nonsense did you say? Come back alive, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"  "Wang Yizhe laughed and scolded. "Yes!  "    "get out!  "    "yes!  "Wu Chengfeng turned around and accepted the order and left. ??????????? Kaicheng, Zhang Xinghan's order was also conveyed to Liu Jianguo and Gao Chu at the same time. "Old Gao, you lead the troops first, I will arrange a  Then follow up!  "Liu Jianguo patted Gao Chu's shoulder and said. "Okay, no problem.  "Gao Chu nodded happily. "Be careful all the way.  "Liu Jianguo urged. "Don't worry.  Gao Chu smiled, waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the tank regiment. "Master, shall we set off now?"  "The leader of the tank regiment came up to us and asked. "Don't worry, the air force transportation group will be here later. Let's replenish fuel and ammunition before setting off!  " Gao Chu said. "About half an hour later, more than a hundred C47 transport planes covered the sky and began to circle over Kaicheng. Liu Jianguo had already ordered his subordinates to make eye-catching signs on the ground. The pilots  After they hovered for a while, they began to airdrop the military supplies such as fuel and ammunition they carried. The entire airdrop took more than half an hour. After the high school tank regiment gave priority to replenishing ammunition and sufficient fuel, they said goodbye.  Liu Jianguo took the lead, passed Panmunjeom, crossed the 38th Parallel and continued to advance toward Seoul. “Signal Corps, send a message to Deputy Commander Du to inquire about their current location!  "Gao Chu sat in a tank and picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered. "Yes!  "The response of a communications soldier came from the walkie-talkie. ……………………… More than a hundred kilometers south of Yuanshan, Du Ting was leading the main infantry of the army to march southward. Suddenly, a man carrying a radio on his back  The station's communications troops caught up with him: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!  " Du Ting wiped the sweat from his forehead. After parting with Gao Chu, he led his troops on a foot march. He didn't sleep all night and didn't even dare to rest for a moment. Looking back, Du Ting asked: "What's the matter?  ?"Commander Gao called."  "The communication soldier handed over a piece of telegram with both hands. Du Ting hurriedly took the telegram, read it hastily, and suddenly showed a long-lost smile: "What a good old man, you fought such a happy battle, but you missed me, wait.  When you meet me, I insist on asking you to treat me to a drink.  No, the half-year military pay I owe you will be canceled in one go!  " After laughing for a moment, Du Ting immediately said to the communications soldier: "Immediately call back to the commander-in-chief and report our current location. Tell us that our logistics supplies are on the way. They are expected to be replenished by noon. Now I am leading the main force on foot.  Once the vehicle is refueled, I will march at full speed and rush to meet him non-stop. Please pay attention to his own safety!  "    "yes!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 338: All the South of the Han River is in the bag

    In the sky over Pingcheng, Northeast Army combat aircraft and transport aircraft roared by from time to time.  Some transport planes circled and airdropped at airdrop points set up by ground troops, and some flew directly further south.  On the ground, there was an endless stream of Northeastern military officers and soldiers carrying supplies back and forth. Looking down from a high altitude, it was like a colony of ants moving.  On the official road from Dingzhou to Pingcheng, thousands of military trucks meandered like a huge steel dragon, advancing at full speed.  Where vehicles pass by, smoke and dust rise everywhere. Viewed from a high altitude, it is quite spectacular.  More than 20 kilometers north of Pingcheng, this is the location of the airport.  When the Japanese troops evacuated here, they destroyed all the airport runway and other infrastructure. The entire airport was filled with craters and ruins.  Under Zhang Xinghan’s repeated urging orders, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others organized hundreds of elite engineers and requisitioned more than a thousand Korean laborers and carried out emergency repairs for two days and nights.  An infantry battalion was stationed at the airport to maintain order and guard more than a thousand Korean workers.  A group of cavalry galloped from the official road in the direction of Pingcheng. As far as the eye could see, there were about a dozen people riding.  After a security squad guarding the outside of the airport saw the person coming clearly, a squad leader quickly stepped forward to salute and greeted: "Deputy Commander Zhao, are you here?" The person who came was none other than Zhao Zhenfan and a dozen accompanying guards. In order to save fuel,  , he found a dozen captured war horses from Pingcheng, and used horses instead of carriages to come to the airport to inspect the progress of the airport's restoration.  Zhao Zhenfan immediately returned the greeting with a smile and said: "Move the obstacles, I want to go in and inspect the progress of the project." "Yes!" The squad leader responded quickly, turned around and waved his hand behind him. There were already soldiers  Move the barricades out of the way and clear the way.  Zhao Zhenfan clamped his horse's belly and ran in with a dozen cavalrymen.  Seeing Zhao Zhenfan's arrival, an engineer battalion commander responsible for repairing the airport hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Sir, are you here?" Zhao Zhenfan nodded slightly, got off his horse, looked around, and asked:  "Battalion Commander Wu, when will the airport be put into use at the earliest?" Battalion Commander Wu thought for a while and said: "It will take another two days at the fastest. The runway was blown up beyond recognition by the Japanese. Even if it is repaired, it will take a few days.  Time has to solidify before it can be put into use. "Zhao Zhenfan turned around and walked around and said: "The airport must be put into use within two days. This is the commander-in-chief's order." "But"  Battalion Commander Wu looked troubled when he heard this.  Before he could finish his words, Zhao Zhenfan waved his hand and said: "I don't care how big the difficulty is, this is something you need to consider. The military situation is like a fire, no matter how big the difficulty is, you have to find a way to solve it for me!" Battalion Commander Wu  I had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond: "Yes! However, sir, there is a requirement for your humble position that you must meet, otherwise this task will really not be completed on time." "Say it." Zhao Zhenfan said expressionlessly.  "If you want the job to be completed within two days, you have to recruit another thousand Korean laborers for the job. We need young and middle-aged people. Those who can do heavy work!" said Battalion Commander Wu.  "Okay, I will call you two thousand more people." Zhao Zhenfan patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "There is plenty of free labor, so don't spare any effort. It will be fine even if you die for me. The most important thing is to complete the work on time. Commander-in-Chief  Otherwise, the military law will not tolerate it." "Yes!" Battalion Commander Wu noticed the harshness of Zhao Zhenfan's last two words and couldn't help but straighten his body and said loudly: "Sir, please be assured that you will do your best.  Complete the task assigned to me by Shangfeng on time." Zhao Zhenfan nodded with satisfaction. Accompanied by Battalion Commander Wu, he patrolled the airport for a while before riding back to Pingcheng with the guards.  At the same time, on the official road south of Panmunjom.  Gao Chu personally led a tank regiment to cross the 38th parallel and was advancing towards Seoul.  However, we haven’t gone very far yet.  The way was blocked by a river that was nearly a kilometer long.  The tank regiment has temporarily stopped advancing. As soon as Gao Chu stepped out of the tank and came to the edge of the Han River, the tank regiment leader walked over quickly.  He saluted, "Master's seat, the Han River is in front of you." Gao Chu nodded: "How is it, have you found a suitable bridge building point?" "Not yet, but the engineer company has already gone to the northeast to look for it, it should be soon  There will be news." The leader of the tank regiment said angrily: "The little devils are really cruel. They blow up bridges and destroy roads everywhere, trying to hold us back. Their wishful thinking is really wrong.  , We have bridge-building tanks, and the river can't stop it!" "The Japanese were defeated like a mountain, and it was expected that the bridge would be blown up."? things.  Gao Chu paused and said, "Order the troops to rest on the spot and wait for the engineering company to work."  "    "yes.  "The commander of the tank regiment responded and immediately turned around and left. Since the high school tank regiment did not carry many bridge-building tanks, they had to find a relatively narrow section of the bridge.  The river basin was used as a bridge building point. Therefore, when they entered the outskirts of Seoul through the Han River, the Japanese soldiers in Seoul, as well as the Japanese businessmen and overseas Chinese, had already evacuated the place. Only the panicked Koreans were left in the streets of Seoul.  Not a single Japanese was seen. Gao Chu led the tank regiment into the city, and Japanese plaster flags could be seen everywhere on the streets. It is not difficult to imagine how panicked the Japanese were when they evacuated some houses on both sides of the street.  The local Koreans in the store looked at the Chinese army that made the Japanese flee. Some old Koreans seemed to think of the scene where the Chinese army fought the Japanese here many years ago. They didn't expect it.  In just a few decades, the situation reversed, and the Chinese and their suzerain country came back. But what they didn't know was that the current Chinese army was no longer the useless army of their suzerain country when Gao Chu entered the urban area of ??Seoul.  Later, because the follow-up troops had not yet arrived, he temporarily stopped advancing and stayed in Seoul. While reporting the victory to Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe and others, he urged reinforcements to arrive quickly so that he could continue to move south and sweep across the entire Korean Peninsula.  …………… Andong County. “Commander, all the Japanese troops in Seoul fled. Gao Chu captured the entire city of Seoul without spending a single soldier. However, the follow-up troops have just completed their logistical supplies and are still on their way.  "Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan after reading the message. Zhang Xinghan looked up at the map and said: "Gaochu's headquarters has become a lonely force. If the Japanese still have the strength to cut off the Han River retreat, then Gaochu will be in danger.  "    "yes.  "Jiang Baili nodded in agreement and said: "However, the Japanese army has lost more than half of its troops on the Korean Peninsula and has no air control. Such a situation is impossible to happen.  " "Where is the main force of the Northern Route Army now?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. Jiang Baili thought for a while and replied: "We should be arriving in Seoul soon.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said: "Then let Gao Chu wait for a while. It is too dangerous for a tank regiment to advance rashly, and without the assistance of the infantry regiment, they will inevitably be hampered by the occupied territory.  .  " "In addition, all units of the Southern Route Army are ordered to speed up their march. Except for the necessary remaining troops, the entire army will march south, using Seoul as its base camp, to conquer the Southern Peninsula!  "Zhang Xinghan suddenly added: "But one thing, I have to tell Wang Yizhe to be more careful about Incheon and other coastal areas, just in case.  " "Incheon?  Is the commander worried that the Japanese may launch a landing assault on us to threaten our army's retreat?  "Jiang Baili asked curiously. "Yeah.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "The Japanese army retreated to the Busan area, and our army's front line will inevitably move south. If the war continues for a long time."  We do not rule out the possibility of Japanese reinforcements landing in Incheon and other places to threaten the rear of our frontline troops!  ” After listening to Zhang Xinghan’s explanation, Jiang Baili nodded. ………………………………… After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, the main force of Gao Chu’s North Route Army and Wang Yizhe’s South Route Army arrived in Seoul one after another the next day. And on the South Route  Before the main force of the army arrived, Gao Chu, Wu Chengfeng, and Du Ting, who came to help, had already set off southward. By now, the strength of the Northeast Frontier Army south of the Han River had exceeded 170,000, including tanks and chariots.  More than a thousand vehicles and several heavy artillery brigades also crossed the Han River and arrived in Seoul. Gao Chu and others led the main force of the North Route Army and formed a vanguard assault group with four tank regiments, heading straight towards Busan along the official road.  Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others dispatched troops to attack and occupy various cities south of the Han River that had been basically abandoned by the Japanese army. Within two days, the Northeast Frontier Army's northern and southern armies swept through the entire southern part of the Koryo Peninsula.  Most areas. More than 60% of important towns were captured. Among them, the assault group of the North Route Army successively captured Chuncheon, Andong, Ulsan, Daegu and other places under the cover of the air force. The troops were approaching Busan, Gwangju and other places.  …………………… Andong County, Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters Guo Zhong came to Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili with a message in his hand and said: "General Officer, Chief of Staff, all units on the front line of our army are"Reports circulate frequently that almost all south of the Han River has been captured by our army.  " "How about the direction to Busan?  "What Zhang Xinghan is most concerned about is Busan, where the remaining Japanese troops on the Koryo Peninsula are basically gathered. That will be the final contest between China and Japan on the Koryo Peninsula. It is also the most critical battle for the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. "Northern Route Army  The 400 tanks have approached Busan, and have now had several contact battles with the Japanese peripheral troops.  "Guo Zhong replied. "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. News also came from the direction of Pingcheng. Pingcheng Airport can be repaired and put into use.  "Guo Zhong suddenly added. "Really?  "When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately became energetic and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, we have to go to Pingcheng. I want to personally deploy the air strikes on the Japanese mainland and direct the next critical battle in Busan!  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 339: Air Raid on the Japanese Mainland

    Busan, Japanese Army Headquarters.  It has been nearly three days since Okamura Neji evacuated to Busan. He voluntarily abandoned Pingcheng. His goal of including the vast area south of the Han River, including Seoul, was achieved.  Successfully traded space for three days. At this time, he still had less than 40,000 Japanese troops. Within these three days, Okamura Neiji deployed all his more than 30,000 Japanese troops.  The Busan defense line has been formed, but the tank assault force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force can also reach it.  Today Okamura Neiji is very happy, not only because the Busan defense line has been deployed, but because he has just received news that 50,000 reinforcements from three local divisions have set off by ship from the local Fukuoka Port and Songjiang Port.  , heading towards the Koryo Peninsula, which can be reached in a day or two at most.  With these 50,000 reinforcements, there will be absolutely no problem with his Busan defense line. He can only wait for the arrival of a large number of local reinforcements before he can switch to a strategic counterattack.  How could Okamura Neji be unhappy?  Chief of Staff Sakurada Goro hurriedly walked in from outside, came to Okamura Neji, stopped his feet and saluted, and reported: "Your Excellency, General, the Imperial Army's forward security force reported that the Chinese Army tank armor has been discovered.  The security forces had exchanged fire with them several times and suffered heavy losses. Now they have taken the initiative to withdraw." Hearing this, Okamura Neiji stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and said, "Our reinforcements have already arrived from the mainland.  We can arrive in two days at the latest. In other words, as long as we can withstand the attack of the Chinese Army and hold on to Busan for two days, victory will belong to us. Sakurada-kun, please announce this news immediately.  Encourage the warriors of our army to continue fighting for His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese Empire! The Imperial Army's troops should rely more on the existing fortifications and favorable terrain to fight against the China Army in order to delay the enemy's offensive and finally win.  "Victory in this battle." "Hai." Sakurada Goro responded with his head suddenly, then turned around and walked away with his sword in his hand.  ????????Busan is located at the southeastern tip of the Koryo Peninsula, facing the Korean Strait to the southeast, facing the Japanese mainland across the sea, and facing the Nakdong River to the west.  The mountains in the northwest and the archipelago barrier in the south serve as the gateway to the southern part of the peninsula.  Such a geographical location is extremely conducive to the defense of the Japanese army. The mountainous terrain in the northwest has become a natural geographical advantage for the Japanese army to build a defense line.  Such terrain greatly restricts the attack and deployment of the Northeast Border Guard’s tank and mechanized units.  In a mountain forest, a group of No. 4 tanks of the Northeast Army were attacking southeastward, but in front of them was a highland with a maximum altitude of more than 200 meters.  The Japanese have built strong fortifications from a high position. The highlands are dotted with bunkers, trenches criss-cross, mines are everywhere, and advanced technologies are everywhere.  The tank troops' attacks repeatedly failed, and many tanks' tracks were blown up by mines laid by the Japanese army, leaving them anchored on the battlefield.  The artillery deployed by the Japanese Army behind the mountains and forests also posed a serious threat to the Northeast Army's attacking troops.  Daegu County, the temporary headquarters of the North Route Army.  A major communications staff officer came in solemnly with a telegram and said to Gao Chu and Du Ting: "Master, Commander Du, there is a call from the front line. The terrain outside Busan is dangerous and abnormal. The Japanese army has been prepared for a long time. We are assaulting all units of the troops.  All attacks failed, the losses were huge! " "Let's go to the front line!" Gao Chu couldn't sit still for a long time. If Du Ting hadn't stopped him, he would have led the assault force himself.  As soon as he heard that the battle on the front line was not going well, he immediately stood up and told Wu Chengfeng and others.  "Lao Gao, you are the commander-in-chief. Who will command the entire army after you leave?" Du Ting couldn't help but persuade.  "Lao Du, you are here to take command. I will go to the front line to see what kind of bastard shell the little devils have built." After Gao Chu finished speaking, he strode out with Wu Chengfeng and others.  Du Ting could not persuade him, so he ordered three infantry regiments to go with him.  Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng quickly arrived at the front line with three infantry regiments. The Northern Route Army troops that first arrived outside Busan already had four tank regiments and three air defense regiments with more than 20,000 people.  With the addition of the three infantry regiments brought by Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng, the number of troops quickly increased to more than 35,000.  When Gao Chu arrived in person, Feng Zhanhai, the commander of the 1st Tank Division who was responsible for commanding the troops to attack, hurriedly greeted him. After the Northeast Army was officially reorganized, the original 1st Tank Regiment was expanded into the 1st Tank Division, and Feng Zhanhai was naturally promoted from regimental commander to division commander.  .  Both sides saluted and exchanged greetings. Gao Chu asked straight to the point: "Mr. Feng, how is the situation?" Feng Zhanhai shook his head guiltily: "Commander-in-chief, the attack is extremely unsatisfactory. The terrain here is not conducive to my pretending at all."  ??The deployment of tank forces.  In my opinion, if we want to break through the Japanese defense line and attack the city of Busan, we must quickly mobilize several of our heavy artillery brigades, plus the direct artillery regiments of other divisions, our air defense regiments, and the firepower assistance of the air force, and focus on  Only with the strength and firepower of a fierce attack can success be achieved.  " "Is it so evil?  Ever since we crossed the Yalu River, we have been invincible along the way, sweeping across thousands of miles. The little devil suddenly became stronger?  "Gao Chu obviously didn't want to believe it, and his tone was full of contempt and disdain for the Japanese. Feng Zhanhai smiled bitterly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, you don't know something. Busan is surrounded by the sea on three sides and mountains on one side. It has a very geographical location.  It is good for defense. I estimate that the Battle of Busan will be much easier than the previous battles. This is definitely a hard nut to crack!  " While speaking, the group of people had quietly entered the northern foothills of the mountain. After a personal inspection, the smile on Gao Chu's face had long since disappeared, his brows were frowned, and his expression began to become serious. " As Feng Zhanhai said  It is said that the terrain here is not conducive to the attacking side at all. The most important thing is that such terrain is a complete nightmare for our own tanks and armored forces. They cannot launch an effective attack at all. On the contrary, they are greatly restricted. After being silent for a long time, Gao Chu followed his words.  Zhang Xinghan Power Generation began to report on the difficult situation they faced. “If our damaged tanks cannot be repaired and rescued in time, then we must destroy them and not let them fall into the hands of the little devils.  " Gao Chu told Feng Zhanhai and others. A combat map was placed in front of Gao Chu and others. Feng Zhanhai nodded in agreement. Looking at the map, Wu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Commander Gao, now that our infantry has arrived, is it okay?  Try attacking the Japanese again?  " Before Gao Chu expressed his position, Feng Zhanhai stretched out his hand and said: "No, before our air force and ground heavy artillery troops arrive, we'd better not attack easily to avoid unnecessary losses.  The attack on Busan can never be a separate task for our Northern Route Army.  I said, this is a tough nut to crack. Only when our armies from the north and the south join forces in one place and concentrate all the superior forces and firepower can we achieve victory.  " Recalling the scene during the inspection, Gao Chu nodded unequivocally. Seeing Gao Chu nod, Wu Chengfeng said nothing more. No one is willing to joke with the lives of his subordinates. "We are still waiting for the commander-in-chief.  Make arrangements.  Gao Chu said: "Order all regiments to station on the spot and be vigilant just in case!"  "    "yes.  "Feng Zhanhai and Wu Chengfeng stood up and responded at the same time, then turned and left. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Feng Zhanhai and Wu "Feng Zhanhai stood up and responded, then turned and left.  There were officers and soldiers from the guard camp everywhere. As a harsh engine roar came from the sky, a Zero fighter finally landed smoothly, and a familiar figure emerged from the plane.  Walked down. "Maintain, please take your seat!"  "Gao Zhihang saw Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili as soon as he got off the plane. He walked towards them and waved his hands. Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others smiled and took a few steps forward. After the two sides saluted each other, Zhang Xinghan said: "Brother Ziheng  , thank you for your hard work!  " "The President's words are foreign to the truth. There is nothing hard-working but hard-working about contributing to the country.  Gao Zhihang said. When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Okay, that's well said."  " "Zi Heng, have you brought all the troops I asked you to bring?  "Zhang Xinghan and Gao Zhihang asked while walking side by side. "Bring them all. According to your instructions, all Zero fighters and He111 medium bombers will be dispatched.  Gao Zhihang nodded and replied. Immediately, Gao Zhihang said confused again: "Commander, can you reveal the goal of our operation?"  " Zhang Xinghan smiled when he heard this and said: "To tell you the truth, the mission of your air force this time is to attack Japan's homeland!  "    "What?  Air raid on Japan's homeland?  "Gao Zhihang was obviously surprised when he heard this. "Yes, with the range of our Zero fighter jets and He111 medium bombers, after you stationed at Pingcheng Airport, Japan's Hiroshima, Fukuoka and other places are completely within our combat radius.  Inside.  In order to delay the Japanese from rushing to aid the Korean Peninsula, I decided after discussing with the Chief of Staff to dispatch the air force to bomb the Japanese mainland, and let the Japanese know how powerful we are, and the rear area where they are most assured may also be attacked by us!  "Zhang Xinghan nodded solemnly. Jiang Baili on the side echoed and explained: "This air strike has a strategic deterrent effect.To achieve far greater results than the actual battle, we only need to drop the aerial bombs on the Japanese island and then return safely.  " "Well, Gao Zhihang understands, please ask the two officers to issue detailed combat orders.  "Gao Zhihang nodded happily. "I have already set the combat goals for you. The Zero fighter group and the bomber group are respectively three mixed flying groups. The targets are Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Nagasaki.  "Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese. Gao Zhihang couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this. He stood up and responded: "Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task!  " ps: There are only two updates today. If there are no accidents tomorrow, there will still be six updates to compensate everyone. Thank you for your monthly votes and rewards. I am very sleepy and tired, so I will not describe them one by one. (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 340: Air Raid on Fukuoka

    Within more than an hour that followed, a total of more than 230 aircraft from the Zero fighter group and the He111 medium bomber group of the First Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force arrived at Pingcheng Airport.  The ground crew had already arrived at Pingcheng before them.  While refilling the plane with fuel, Gao Zhihang summoned Liu Cuigang, Zhang Xinghua and others to discuss specific actions.  After informing Liu Cuigang and others of all the air strike targets selected by Zhang Xinghan, Gao Zhihang ended the temporary meeting.  Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang went to inspect the formation of each brigade, and Zhang Xinghua came to Zhang Xinghan's side excitedly.  "Brother!" Zhang Xinghua saluted first, then came over and hugged Zhang Xinghan.  "Xinghua, long time no see, you have become much stronger." Zhang Xinghan looked him up and down, punched his chest and said with a smile.  "Hehe." Zhang Xinghua scratched his head with a naive smile.  "How are Wei Guo and his siblings doing now?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The two of them live in Harbin now, and everything is fine." Zhang Xinghua replied.  "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Xinghua, this air strike on the Japanese mainland is dangerous and unpredictable. You must be more careful." "I will." Zhang Xinghua said.  At this time, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang walked over hand in hand wearing flight suits.  At the same time, he saluted: "Commander, the troops are all ready. Can we set off?" Zhang Xinghua looked up and saw that all the pilots were in place, and the ground crew also withdrew to the side. He nodded and said: "You represent the entire Chinese nation. You are here today."  What you do will go down in history. Brothers, take off and use our aerial bombs to declare to the Japanese that those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!" "Yes!" Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and Zhang Xinghua agreed at the same time, and immediately  They all turned and left.  The other pilots also boarded the plane quickly, followed closely.  Zero fighters and bombers took off one after another, divided into three groups, and flew away from Pingcheng and towards the Japanese mainland.  After watching the planes go away, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others left the airport with unyielding emotions and took a bus to Seoul.  As soon as the convoy left the airport, a cavalry communications soldier rushed from the front.  When he arrived, before he could dismount, the communications soldier panted and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief and chief of staff. Urgent call from the front line in Busan!" "Quickly tell me how the situation is!" Jiang Baili ordered hurriedly.  "The terrain of Busan is steep and the Japanese army is well prepared. Our Northern Route Army will not be able to attack for a long time. The former enemy commander-in-chief Gao Chu asked the commander-in-chief to make a decision!" the communications soldier quickly took out a telegram from the document bag he carried and read.  "Decision? Decision is nothing. If we can't win Busan, all our achievements these days will be in vain!" Zhang Xinghan suddenly became anxious when he heard this, turned to Jiang Baili and said: "Chief of Staff, this kid from Gao Chu must have hit an iron plate.  No, we have to rush to the front line of Busan. This battle is of great importance and I must take charge of it myself." "Okay." Jiang Baili nodded.  “Let’s set off immediately, cross the Han River first, and then go straight to the front line of Busan, hurry!” Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  Drivers don’t dare to neglect.  He quickly started the car and drove away from the airport as fast as smoke.  Fukuoka is located at the northernmost tip of Kyushu Island in Japan. It has been the political, cultural and economic center of Kyushu Island since ancient times.  It is known as the gateway of Kyushu.  This is the city with the largest number of Japanese on Kyushu Island.  In order to support the tense war situation on the Koryo Peninsula, the strategic mobilization that had just been lifted across Japan has come back, and Fukuoka is no exception.  The streets were full of military recruiting offices, with recruited reservist soldiers being driven away in carloads, and fanatical Japanese people occupied both sides of the street to practice for their relatives.  At this time, the whole of Japan was brainwashed by the spirit of militarism and bushido. All men, women, old and young, the military and civilians in the country were in an extremely crazy state of fanaticism.  They dream of opening up territory for their nation and establishing the dreamy Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.  Back in time a few days ago, there was a Japanese family named Onii in the south of Fukuoka City.  The original head of the household, Kamei Kazuki, was a soldier during Japan’s Meiji Restoration. He died during the Russo-Japanese War and left behind two sons and a wife.  The two sons, Kamei Juichi and Kamei Juuji, work in a food company and an electric power company respectively.  In the room, a Japanese woman in her fifties, wearing a kimono and with a dull expression, held a recruitment letter from the military department. She took this recruitment letter and came to the portrait of her husband Kamei Kazuki and stared at it for a moment.  The Japanese woman turned around, took out a pen and paper, andAfter Wen wrote a few lines, he took the saber in his hand that was placed in front of the portrait of her husband.  This combat knife was awarded posthumously by the Japanese government after Kamei Kazuki died in battle and martyred his country.  The Japanese woman took a closer look, pulled out her saber and committed suicide on the spot.  Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, followed by a knock on the door: "Mom, Mom!" After calling several times in succession and no one responded, the door was pushed open.  Two Japanese men in their twenties walked in one after another.  The two were shocked by the scene in the room and exclaimed, "Mom, run over quickly. "Brother, mom, she, she is dead!  " Kamei Juuji looked at the blood all over the ground and said in horror. Kamei Juuichi put down his mother's body and suddenly saw the recruitment letter on the table and the last words written by his mother. "Jiuji, Juuji  , your father is a hero of the Yamato nation, and your mother hopes that you can be like him, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and expand the territory of the Japanese Empire" After reading the last words, Kamei Shigeichi and his wife tearfully passed their mother  After being buried, he immediately took his luggage and went straight to the recruitment office of the military headquarters. (The above plot is taken from historical facts. This was the situation in Japan in the 1930s and 1940s. The whole country was fanatical and the people were warlike, and the war was ruthlessly intensified.  Above other countries and nations. It is definitely not the case that most Japanese are just deceived by militarism, as some articles claim) The two brothers Kamei Juichi and Kamei Juji entered the Yasukuni Shrine because their fathers were heroes.  In addition, the two were of the right age and in good health, and they had also served in the military, so the two were successfully re-enlisted. The military arranged for cars to drive them and more than a hundred others to sign up at the same time.  Feeling the excitement and enthusiastic farewell crowd on the street, all the Japanese recruits, including the two Kamei brothers, were also affected. They were all excited and wished they could fly to the front line immediately to fight with the Chinese Communist Party.  The * team fought hard. At this moment, in the clouds thousands of meters above the ground, Zhang Xinghua was driving a mixed fleet approaching Fukuoka at high speed. "Captain, we are less than ten kilometers away from the target!"  "Among the fleet, a squadron leader said to Zhang Xinghua through the radio device. "Well, all units should pay attention and prepare for battle. The target is Fukuoka City and the port. All aerial bombs carried by all fighters and bombers must be dropped within five minutes.  Go down, then the fighter planes will escort you, and the bombers will return immediately!  "Zhang Xinghua's palms holding the joystick were slightly sweaty, and he ordered with excitement in his heart. "Copy that!  "    "receive!  "Responses from the officers of each squadron came from the walkie-talkie. Immediately, Zhang Xinghua piloted the fighter plane and began to lower the altitude under the protection of two wingmen. As the altitude dropped, Fukuoka city and the port were already vaguely visible. Zhang Xinghua gave an order,  The entire fleet quickly divided into two groups and rushed towards the port and urban area of ??Fukuoka. Zhang Xinghua personally led a group of fighter planes to attack the urban area of ??Fukuoka. Their whereabouts were soon discovered by the Japanese air defense forces. Air defense warnings were issued throughout the Fukuoka area.  The sudden sound of air defense sirens shocked the dense Japanese crowd on the street and the recruits they were transporting. No one would have thought that their safest homeland would be attacked by the enemy.  Ichi and Kamei Juji couldn't help but think, where is our combined naval fleet? How could they let the enemy's aircraft fly to Kyushu Island? The Japanese combined naval fleet has indeed deployed a certain amount of vigilance at sea, especially now in Goryeo.  The situation on the peninsula has suddenly changed. It can be said that the Korean Strait is basically full of Japanese material transport ships and various warships. But at this time, the Japanese were not equipped with radars, and the air raid forces of the Northeast Border Guard were flying at almost the highest altitude.  , Unless it is a coincidence, the air defense forces and carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet will naturally not be able to detect this group of uninvited guests. Because there is no prior warning, the Japanese air defense forces and various emergency personnel in Fukuoka cannot react at all.  Before the air defense forces were fully in place, Zhang Xinghua and his men swooped in like eagles. During the dive, the Zero fighter jets spotted the dense crowd on the street and pounced on them like sharks smelling blood.  "Click, click, click" After diving to a certain height, Zhang Xinghua's plane and two wingmen opened fire first. The machine gun and the airborne machine gun fired a dense rain of powerful bullets, instantly setting off a burst of fire on the street.  The bloody storm made the Japanese soldiers and civilians mourn everywhere.nbsp; Wherever the dense rain of bullets hit, the bricks and tiles of the houses were shattered.  The wooden wall was also penetrated, smoke filled the air, and screams could be heard endlessly.  Other fighter jets also opened fire, and the Japanese on the street fell in pieces.  Before the dive and strafing was completely over, an ear-splitting scream sounded in the sky.  "Boom, boom, boomboom, boom, boom" huge explosions sounded one after another, and the entire urban area of ??Fukuoka soon turned into a sea of ??flames, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were buried in the sea of ????fire.  At the same time, in the direction of the port, another group of air forces also launched a surprise bombing. The Japanese dock that was busy loading supplies and personnel was bombed into thick smoke and caused heavy casualties.  The bombing lasted less than ten minutes, and all the bombers returned one after another. At this moment, several Japanese planes took off in an emergency and took off.  Zhang Xinghua gave an order, and the Zero fighters behind him immediately pounced on him like a pack of wolves.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 341: Battle of Busan (1) Second Update

    The Japanese aircraft that took off were their commonly equipped Type 95 fighter jets, which were one generation behind the Zero fighter jets.  The performance of both sides is not at the same level in all aspects, and the fleet led by Zhang Xinghua has an absolute numerical advantage in the battle.  As soon as they met, several Japanese planes were hit by the dense rain of bullets, exploded in the air, or fell down with long plumes of thick smoke.  After shooting down several Japanese planes, Zhang Xinghua and the others quickly flew their fighter planes back. Due to fuel problems, they could not stay longer, and their whereabouts had been exposed. The bomber group may encounter Japanese sea-based and land-based aviation interceptions at any time.  So they must catch up immediately and provide escort for the bomber group's return.  ………………… In the city of Fukuoka, which was a sea of ??flames, Kamei Juichi was holding a corpse in pain and grief.  This body is none other than his younger brother Kamei Juji. During the air raid by the China Army just now, his younger brother was killed by the explosion in order to save him.  In the urban area, there are ruins everywhere, wooden houses are burning with fire, and the Japanese's wailing and calling for help are endless.  The whole of Fukuoka is like a miserable scene at the end of the world.  When several firefighters and police officers arrived, Kamei Juichi pushed away their treatment, hugged his brother's body and left like a dead man.  ????????Busan, the Japanese Army Headquarters in North Korea.  Okamura Neiji is answering the phone. The call is from the front line. The battle is going very well. They have defeated several attacks by the Chinese army and destroyed many tanks.  Okamura Neji's heart was slightly relieved. The Busan defense line he had high hopes for finally played its due role.  As long as the Busan defense line can hold for three to five days and reinforcements arrive, he can sit back and relax.  According to the current situation, it is not a problem for the Busan defense line to hold on for ten days and a half.  Okamura Neji was in a pretty good mood and just put down the phone with great interest.  His attention was attracted by the sound of hurried footsteps.  Looking up, he saw that the person coming was his chief of staff, Goro Sakurada. His face was heavy and his steps were hurried. Seeing this, Okamura Neji couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Could something bad have happened again?  Okamura Neiji was confused and took the initiative to ask: "Sakurada-kun, you are so anxious, what happened?" Okamura Neiji couldn't think about it now.  How could anything worse happen, because he had lost 90% of the entire Koryo Peninsula, leaving only a corner of Busan.  The Busan Defense Line successfully withstood the attack of the Northeastern Border Guards. What else could go wrong?  Sakurada Goro suddenly closed his feet and saluted, and replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have just received an urgent call from the base camp." "Headquarters? What do you say?" Okamura Neji was even more confused when he heard this and said hurriedly.  Goro Sakurada paused with a look of sorrow on his face, raised his head and said word by word: "There was a call from the base camp saying that Kyushu Island was attacked by a Chinese air attack two hours ago!" "What?" Okamura Neji stood up in surprise for a moment.  rise.  He said with a horrified look: "Sakurada-kun, what did you say? Kyushu Island was attacked by a Chinese air attack? How is this possible? Where is our air defense force? Where is our naval combined fleet? What do they do for food?"  "General, this is true. Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Hiroshima on Kyushu Island were almost simultaneously bombed by air raids by the Chinese Army. Our civilians suffered heavy casualties. The specific number is still being counted. At that time, three  The local people are sending off the newly recruited warriors, so the number of casualties must not be too small. In addition to the urban area, the Chinese air force also attacked a port and two air force bases." Sakurada Goro lowered his head in sadness.  Sang said: "As for the combined naval fleet and the air defense force, the former failed to detect it in time and naturally could not intercept it. The latter was caught off guard and could not take effective precautions at all." "In other words, these Chinese air attacks on our homeland cost a lot of money.  Zero loss?" Okamura Neiji couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and the veins in his fists popped out.  Sakurada Goro nodded and said: "It should be so. At least we haven't received any news about shooting down a Chinese fighter plane yet." "Bagaya Road! It's simply unreasonable. The hateful Chinese people can actually threaten our homeland.  ? ! This is incredible!" Okamura Neiji roared angrily.  Sakurada Goro waited for him to finish his roar and said cautiously: "General, there is one more thing. The base camp stated in the message that because our mainland is already under the threat of air strikes from the Chinese, and the Kyushu area was severely damaged in this air strike, resulting in  The 30,000 imperial army reinforcements originally gathered in the Kyushu region had to change their departure time.??I'm afraid we won't be able to get reinforcements, which means that we can only get reinforcements of 20,000 troops at most.  " Okamura Neji was furious when he heard this. He angrily pulled out his imperial sword and slashed at the corner of his desk. The sharp saber neatly cut off a large piece of the corner of the desk.  Okamura Neiji was still angry and kicked his desk to the ground, slashing him several times. It was only after he vented his anger that Sakurada Goro advised him in time: "General, please calm down and let everything go."  The overall situation is important!  " After Okamura Neiji vented his anger, his anger was slightly relieved. After putting his sword back into its scabbard, he said coldly: "Restore power to the base camp. Now the Chinese have continuously attacked for thousands of kilometers, and their momentum is already  At the end of the strong bow, if this battle continues, the victory must belong to our Imperial Japanese Army. Neji Okamura is willing to lead 30,000 Imperial Army soldiers to defend Busan. We urgently need help. In order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Busan and even the Koryo Peninsula, the base camp is requested to hurry up.  By sending reinforcements, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and retake the Koryo Peninsula and Manchuria.  " "Hai!  Sakurada Goro suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and strode away with his saber. ……………………………… Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had just crossed the Han River with the guard camp and were replenishing fuel for the convoy in Seoul. Guo Zhong was excited.  ran over, saluted and reported: "General seat, front seat, our air raid was successful.  " Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili immediately beamed with joy when they heard this. Zhang Xinghan asked with concern: "What are the casualties and losses of our air force?  " "There were no casualties.  "Guo Zhong replied. "Great, their attack this time is a historic breakthrough. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of shock will be caused to the Japanese military, which has always claimed to be invincible.  "Jiang Baili said excitedly. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, give Gao Zhihang another power and order him to send a reconnaissance plane to immediately conduct a large-scale reconnaissance within three hundred nautical miles of the Korean Strait. Once the Japanese army is discovered,  As soon as the fleet's whereabouts were revealed, fighter planes were immediately dispatched to attack.  " "Chief, are you worried about Japanese reinforcements?  "Jiang Baili suddenly asked. "Yes, the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula are now compressed by us to the tiny place of Busan. If the Japanese do not want to give up easily, they will definitely send reinforcements to Busan.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "But the Korean Strait is so big, and even if we can dispatch fighter planes to blockade the attack during the day, we still have night.  "Jiang Baili groaned with some worry: "I think it would be better to send the air force to conduct careful aerial reconnaissance operations over the Korean Strait, and on the other hand immediately dispatch the air force to bomb the Busan Port as much as possible. It is best to destroy all the Japanese dock facilities.  .  " "Well, this is a good proposal. As for blocking the Korean Strait, we can only do our best.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Because the most important thing is that we still have to break through the Japanese defense line in Busan as soon as possible. As long as the remaining Japanese troops in Busan are annihilated, everything will be solved."  " Seeing Guo Zhong take the order and leave, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "Okay, without further ado, let's set off quickly and reach the Busan front line as soon as possible.  " After saying that, Zhang Xinghan took the lead and got into an armored personnel carrier. Jiang Baili nodded and bent down to follow. When Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived at the Busan front line with the guard battalion, the main forces of the South Route Army were also completed  After occupying all the areas south of the Han River except Busan and leaving the necessary defenders, the troops rushed to Daegu one after another. At this point, the Northeast Frontier Army gathered more than 120,000 troops on the Busan front line, and the other 50,000.  People were stationed in various places south of the Han River. Among them, Incheon and Seoul had the largest number of troops, with a total of 20,000 troops. Compared with the Japanese army's less than 40,000 troops, it was four to one, and they had an astonishing number of tanks and three combat vehicles.  The heavy artillery brigade, a powerful artillery group composed of five divisions directly under the howitzer regiment, also has absolute air control and air fire support. Gao Chu and others have already received the news that Zhang Xinghan will personally come to command this battle.  When they arrived in Daegu, Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng handed over the frontline command to Feng Zhanhai and returned to Daeqi early to greet them. As soon as they met, Gao Chu lowered his head in shame: "Commander, you are here, you are humble and incompetent, please punish me!"  " "Okay, don't do this to me, let's talk about it after this battle.  Zhang Xinghan scolded him with a straight face, and then said: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and follow me in the car, and introduce me to the situation on the front line as soon as possible. I want to go to the front line to command in person."  " Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng did not dare to neglect and quickly got into the car. Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion to set off, while Wang Yizhe stayed in Seoul. Zhao Zhenfan and Liu Jianguo became the top military commanders of Daegu. The two then orderedThe troops of each division followed up and cooperated with the main force of the North Route Army to surround the entire Busan regiment.  In the armored personnel carrier that Zhang Xinghan was riding in, after listening to Gao Chu and Wu Chengfeng's report on the map, Zhang Xinghan's face couldn't help but become solemn.  "According to what you said, the terrain outside Busan is really not conducive to our army's advantage." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully: "It seems that our paratrooper brigade will have to be used this time."

    "Use the paratrooper brigade?" Jiang Baili, Gao Chu and others looked at each other.  "Yes, the outer terrain of Busan is steep and surrounded by mountains. Our army's air force, artillery and tank advantages, especially the assault capabilities of the tank and armored units, are greatly hindered. It is necessary to use the parachute task force again to airdrop behind the Japanese positions, both inside and outside  Attack from both sides and defeat him in one fell swoop!" Zhang Xinghan said.  Everyone nodded and said no more.  " Speechless all the way, in the evening of the same day, Zhang Xinghan and the others arrived at the Busan front line with the guard battalion.  Feng Zhanhai, who stayed behind, greeted him excitedly. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he stood up and saluted with great joy: "Feng Zhanhai, a humble official, has met the commander-in-chief and chief of staff!" "Yes." Zhang Xinghan recognized Feng Zhanhai, who was also a famous anti-Japanese general in history.  He was a very loyal person, so he was placed in the armored force and entrusted with important tasks.  "Mr. Feng, how is the situation?" Jiang Baili asked.  When the war was mentioned, Feng Zhanhai's face was inevitably a little ashamed. He lowered his head and sighed: "Reporting to the Chief of Staff, I am humble and incompetent. Today we organized several attacks in a row, but they were all blocked by the Japanese. Moreover, we also suffered losses."  We bought more than a dozen No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles. Ever since we crossed the Yalu River, my tank and armored divisions have never suffered such a big loss." "Let's go and take a look at the front line," Zhang Xinghan said after hearing what Feng Zhanhai said.  It also became more and more solemn. The loss of more than a dozen No. 4 tanks was indeed a bit heavy.  Feng Zhanhai quickly led the way. At this time, the attacking troops had taken advantage of their free time to build and dig complete defenses at the front.  Under the leadership of Feng Zhanhai, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili entered the trench, followed the traffic trench, and arrived at a forward observation post at the front.  At this time, the sun was setting and I looked through the telescope.  I saw that the top of the mountain where the Japanese military positions were located was covered by the dazzling sunset. Occasionally, human heads could be seen walking around the Japanese military fortifications.  Feng Zhanhai introduced at the side: "In front of us is the front of the periphery of Busan. After passing this mountainous area, it is Busan. The Japanese have dug many trenches and tunnels here, and bunkers made of reinforced concrete above them form fire support points. In front of each defense line  Barbed wire, anti-tank trenches, all kinds of traps, mines, all the fortifications and means to deal with our army." Jiang Baili held up his telescope and said, "Commander, you see, most of the Japanese fortifications are permanent and solid defenses made of reinforced concrete.  The fortifications have obviously been in operation for a long time and have been defended based on danger. Now it seems that it is reasonable for the North Route Army to be unable to attack again and again." Zhang Xinghan nodded unequivocally and said: "This is indeed a difficult place in Busan.  "It's a tough nut to crack." After saying this, his voice changed: "However, no matter how hard it is and how strong it is, we must take it down. We must capture Busan within three days!" Jiang Baili and others couldn't help hearing this!  They all changed color.  "Wu Chengfeng!" Zhang Xinghan turned his head and shouted.  "It's a humble job!" Wu Chengfeng stepped forward quickly.  "You go and assemble the troops immediately, and prepare to attack in an hour. You will lead the team yourself!" Zhang Xinghan ordered in a stern voice.  "Yes!" Wu Chengfeng stood up to salute LANXESS and accepted the promise.  He immediately turned around and took the order and left.  "Chief of Staff, notify the three major heavy artillery brigades and the directly affiliated artillery regiments and tank regiments to quickly prepare for artillery fire. In fifteen minutes, we will conduct a half-hour violent bombardment on the hilltops held by the Japanese army. It is best to give me the top of the mountain.  Flattened!" After Wu Chengfeng left.  Zhang Xinghan ordered Jiang Baili again.  "Okay, I'll go and notify the troops right away." Jiang Baili nodded and immediately turned around to arrange the manpower.  Fifteen minutes later, all artillery units were ready and started firing.  For a moment, thousands of cannons fired in unison. Zhang Xinghan hurriedly raised his telescope and looked forward, only to see thousands of artillery shells with long tail flames slamming down on the top of the mountain.  An earth-shaking violent explosion suddenly erupted, and the entire mountaintop was instantly enveloped in thick smoke and fire.  Fire and black smoke carried some Japanese corpses and weapon parts into the air, tens of meters high.  Thousands of artillery shells rained down on the Japanese positions at a rate of one minute. The resulting violent explosion caused the ground to shake and the mountains to shake. Zhang Xinghan and others could clearly feel the ground shaking under their feet.  The sound of artillery was rumbling, and the flames were filled. For half an hour, the powerful artillery fire of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force had plowed the hilltops where the Japanese troops were holding several times.  Some Japanese bunkers and machine gun bunkers were turned into piles of ruins because they suffered too much intense shelling. Of course, many Japanese bunkers were still strong and lucky.Saved.  Since the Japanese army had tunnels to hide in, the casualties were not too great.  After the artillery fire began to spread, Wu Chengfeng led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the mountain.  For this attack, Wu Chengfeng mobilized more than 1,500 people, plus 20 tanks to provide coordinated cover.  "You bastards, whoever is the first to charge forward is the hero of the Northeast Border Defense Force. For the honor of the hero, charge forward!" Wu Chengfeng, protected by a group of guards, shouted loudly while charging.  Roar.  More than 1,500 officers and soldiers lined up in a skirmish line and continuously advanced towards the Japanese position. More than 20 No. 4 tanks roared in front to clear the way. However, because it was a feint attack and restricted by the terrain, the tanks were advancing faster than before.  It's much slower and gets harder the further up you go.  The officers and soldiers were armed with Garand rifles, MP38 submachine guns, mg42 general machine guns, bazookas, and 50mm grenade launchers and rushed forward with loud shouts of killing.  When they rushed to the hillside, the gunpowder smoke had not dispersed. Suddenly, gunfire erupted on the Japanese army position that had been silent for a long time, and countless light and heavy machine guns opened fire.  The tongues of flames formed a crossfire network, and countless bullets came towards them like locusts.  Some Northeastern border guards officers and soldiers were unfortunately shot and fell, but soon someone would step over their bodies and continue to charge one after another.  Encountered a sudden fire blockage by the Japanese, the tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns of more than 20 tanks fired back one after another. Other machine gunners also looked for favorable terrain on the spot, set up mg42 and followed the Japanese flames to suppress fire.  The infantrymen crouched and charged forward more quickly. Some infantrymen with good marksmanship either half-knelt on the ground or lay behind rocks, raising their Garand rifles to shoot at the Japanese firepower points.  Wu Chengfeng also followed the charging crowd. The acrid smoke and bloody smell wafting from the battlefield was like a stimulant, stimulating the blood in his body to boil and making him excited.  Wu Chengfeng had already thrown the pistol somewhere. At this moment, he was holding an MP38 submachine gun in his hand while charging and shooting.  Not long after rushing, a machine gunner in front was shot and fell to the ground. Wu Chengfeng quickly ran over in three steps and two steps, picked up the machine gunner's mg42 general machine gun, put the metal bullet chain on his neck, and suddenly roared like thunder.  Rush forward.  "Little devil, taste the power of your Grandpa Wu!" "Click, click, click, click, click, click, click" mg42 let out a series of roars, long tongues of flame spurted from the muzzle of his gun, and the bullet chain was constantly shortening.  The bullet casings fell quickly.  The dense bullets were splashed out like water, and several riflemen in the Japanese trenches fell down one after another.  In the forward observation post, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others were watching the battle with telescopes.  The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing come and go, which always affects Zhang Xinghan's heart.  "The moment he saw countless athletes fall down after being shot, Zhang Xinghan's heart ached, even though he was already a commander-in-chief with an army of hundreds of thousands.  But he was still a young man of flesh and blood. Those who fell were all his brothers. Every one of them fell, which meant that a family in the country would be broken, and someone would lose their son, husband, father, and brother forever.  .  After a while, Zhang Xinghan saw that the enemy's firepower was getting stronger and stronger. As the distance got closer, it was difficult for Wu Chengfeng's attacking troops to move forward. After each step forward, they had to pay a huge price. Zhang Xinghan put down the telescope and sighed.  : "Order Wu Chengfeng to stop the attack." The ordering soldier quickly passed on the order. At this time, most of Wu Chengfeng and the attacking troops were blocked by the dense firepower of the Japanese. They were relying on their own tanks and some raised stones.  , the crater and the Japanese engaged in firepower exchanges.  There were not only traps but also Japanese minefields ahead, and they could no longer move forward.  Wu Chengfeng was also forced to hide behind a huge rock. The machine gun bullet chain in his arms had long been empty. Because there were rain of bullets whizzing by everywhere, no one could come over to deliver the bullet chain to him. He leaned against the rock with his back.  He couldn't help but hammer the ground, furious.  Suddenly, a major officer not far away pointed to the rear and shouted loudly: "Sir, look, it's the flag to stop the attack!" Wu Chengfeng turned his head and looked down at the Japanese who were hiding in bunkers, bunkers and other firepower points and fired wildly.  After scolding, he had to shout loudly: "Retreat, stop attacking, retreat quickly!" After saying that, he ran back jumping up and down, and a series of bullets hit him, causing dirt to fly behind him.  After receiving the order, the attacking officers and soldiers who were suppressed by the Japanese retreated like a tide. Unfortunately, many of them were hit by the Japanese during the retreat and died on the spot.  Not long after, Wu ChengFeng arrived at the former enemy headquarters in disgrace. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had already returned from the forward observation post.  As soon as Wu Chengfeng entered the door, he lowered his head and said: "Commander, my attack failed!" "I gave the order to stop your attack. Our artillery fire was so fierce that it was not able to destroy the Japanese defense line. If we continue to attack like this,  "The price is too high." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to blame yourself." Wu Chengfeng still lowered his head and stepped aside with guilt.  "Commander, what should we do next?" Jiang Baili asked aloud when he saw that everyone was silent.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!

    Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "The attack is suspended tonight, but the bombardment cannot be stopped. Each heavy artillery brigade, direct artillery regiment and air defense regiment, and tank troops take turns to bombard the Japanese army. No interruption is allowed until dawn, once every half hour.  "As for the attack, it seems that the airborne troops are going to be dispatched," Zhang Xinghan said, turning to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go and send Wang Longxiang a message immediately, and order the airborne troops to fly to Busan immediately after dawn.  The specific airborne targets are here." Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and said, "Here they are, send them to them together." "Yes!" After Guo Zhong wrote them down one by one, he turned around and left.  "Everyone, go and rest. Recharge your batteries tonight. Tomorrow all the army and air force will be dispatched to launch a general attack on Busan. Cooperate with the airborne troops to cooperate internally and externally, and strive to break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and ordered.  "Yes." Everyone responded one after another, and everyone except Jiang Baili was ordered to leave.  After everyone left, Jiang Baili said: "Commander, will the strength of an airborne brigade be a little small?" "A lot. After this period of development, the number of airborne brigade has exceeded a thousand people. This is a B  With the strength of the regiment, as long as they can successfully carry out airborne landings and launch surprise attacks from the rear of the Japanese army, they will definitely be able to achieve success. Surprise is their biggest bargaining chip.  , Japanese Army Headquarters.  "Your Excellency, General, the losses from the air raids on Kyushu Island have been calculated. A total of more than 30,000 people in our country were killed or injured by the Chinese air raids." Goro Sakurada reported to Okamura Neji with a look of sorrow.  "What? So many?" Okamura Neiji was obviously a little surprised. One air strike caused such a big loss to Japan?  If we come here a few more times, won't the entire Kyushu Island become a no-man's land?  Sakurada Goro nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why there were such heavy casualties is mainly because the Chinese army came too suddenly, and our homeland did not have any ideological defense at all. And as I said, it was at the time when people were gathering  Farewell to the newly recruited warriors, that’s why the casualties are so high.” Okamura Neiji nodded in relief.  What Goro Sakurada said was exactly what he said. Not to mention the soldiers and civilians of Kyushu Island as the rear area of ??the mainland, even he, the commander on the front line, did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would send the air force to attack the Japanese mainland.  With this painful price, I believe that the Chinese people and the base camp will be more vigilant.  "Have you figured out which airport the Chinese took off from?" Okamura Neiji asked.  Goro Sakurada shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet, but based on our judgment, they will definitely not take off from an airport in Northeast China. It is most likely North Korea!" "North Korea?" Okamura Neji was puzzled when he heard this.  Said: "Didn't our army destroy all the airport facilities in North Korea when we withdrew?" "It should be the Chinese who repaired the damaged airport again. This possibility cannot be ruled out." Sakurada Goro said.  Okamura Neiji nodded in disbelief, and then asked: "How is the battle situation at the front? The Chinese artillery fire just now sounded huge. It seems that their main force has arrived." "More than half an hour ago. The Chinese army advanced toward me.  The position launched another attack, but was defeated again by the heroic imperial warriors, and the front line is safe for the time being!" Sakurada Goro replied.  As soon as Sakurada Goro finished speaking, there was a faint sound of deafening shelling and explosions outside.  "Hai!" Sakurada Goro suddenly lowered his head and responded.  He turned around and strode towards the phone, picked up the phone and started asking loudly.  There was a faint sound of violent explosions from the microphone.  Soon, Sakurada Goro held the phone in one hand and turned to Okamura Neji and said: "Your Excellency General, it's the China Army. They are shelling my forward position again." "Again shelling?" Okamura Neji pondered.  After a while, he said: "Order the frontline troops to be on strict guard in case the Chinese army attacks at night." "Hai." Sakurada Goro picked up the phone again and started giving instructions.  "Sakuda-kun, what are our casualties?" Okamura Neji asked after Sakurada Goro hung up the phone completely.  "The casualties are not too great. From the time the Chinese army pursued this place and launched the attack until now, our army has suffered a total of 1,300 casualties. Forty percent of them were killed in action, 20% were seriously injured, and the other %  Most of the forty can continue to fight and have not lost their combat effectiveness." Sakurada Goro thought for a while and replied.  "More than a thousand people injured"?.  "Okamura Neiji nodded: "Yo Xi.  Very good, if the fight continues like this, it will take at least twenty days for the Chinese to capture Busan!  And we only need to persist for three days at most to get reinforcements from 20,000 reinforcements. ?????????????????????????????????? It’s not a problem for us to hold on for a month. One month is enough time for our base camp to mobilize reinforcements, right?  " Okamura Neji's last words were obviously asking himself. Sakurada Goro did not dare to express his opinion, so he had to lower his head and say yes. "Sakurada-kun, you are on duty tonight. I haven't slept well for several days. I  I want to take a rest!  "Okamura Neiji stood up and said. "Hai, General, please rest assured. You will definitely fulfill your duties in your humble position!  "Goro Sakurada nodded respectfully and agreed. Jinzhou, where the airborne brigade is stationed. As the first person in the airborne force, Wang Longxiang is already the captain of the airborne brigade, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. At this moment, Wang Longxiang and  The subordinates had just finished a day of training and were having dinner in the cafeteria. This time, all the elite Northeastern Border Defense Forces marched into North Korea. As a special force, the airborne troops did not go with the army, but were left at the Jinzhou base by Zhang Xinghan.  Help the troops of the 200th Division to share the defense of the Jinzhou area. On the other hand, Zhang Xinghan wanted them to train more and would not drag them to the battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary. Just halfway through dinner, a communications soldier was in a hurry.  He ran in quickly and found Wang Longxiang and said: "Captain, the commander-in-chief is calling urgently.  "    "Um?  "Wang Longxiang stood up immediately after hearing this. After grabbing the telegram and reading it once, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "Everyone assemble!  All assembled!  " More than a thousand paratroopers stood up immediately, put down their dishes and food, and did not bother to wipe their mouths. They ran out of the cafeteria and went straight to their weapons and equipment room. A few minutes later, all the equipment of the more than a thousand paratroopers was assembled.  Wang Longxiang, as the captain, was no exception. He looked at the assembled subordinates and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, the commander-in-chief just sent a telegram. The battle on the front line is urgent. The commander-in-chief ordered us.  Set off immediately and land in Busan!  "When the airborne troops heard this, they all immediately became energetic, especially the two to three hundred new recruits who came in later. They all looked excited and eager to try. "As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and the battle begins with that.  Yes, the commander-in-chief didn't let us go. That's because the battle situation has not yet reached the most critical moment. Those little fish and shrimps can be dispatched by the main force.  Our airborne troops, hundreds of thousands of troops, are unique and unique. In the words of the Commander-in-Chief, we are his most elite and sharpest sword.  We are going to give the little devils a big surprise this time. Only by winning Busan can we be worthy of our title as the ace division!  After saying that, Wang Longxiang waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"  " More than a thousand officers and soldiers were so excited by what he said that they turned around and ran towards the garage. Not long after, fifty or sixty military trucks started to move quickly towards the airport. "  … Peiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion “Young Marshal, I just received news that Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghan actually led his army into the court!  "Rong Jin reported to Shaoshuai Zhang who was still lying on the hospital bed with a mysterious and nervous look. "What did you say?  After hearing this, Marshal Zhang coughed a few times excitedly and asked with a flushed face. "Basically, Zhang Xinghan led his army across the Yalu River and launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula.  "Rong Jin repeated. Marshal Zhang heard it clearly this time and fell into a silent silence. Suddenly, he asked in a rare and calm tone: "How is the battle going?  " Rong Jin was a little surprised by his reaction, and answered truthfully: "According to reliable information, Zhang Xinghan's troops swept through most of the Korean Peninsula with overwhelming force within three days, and have now defeated the Pusan ??area.  The Japanese may not be able to hold on any longer.  " Marshal Zhang coughed violently again. His face was pale and slightly sickly, and he said, "Okay, good fight.  " Rong Jin looked at him confused, and finally asked: "Young Marshal, why do you say that?  " "What I praise is not Zhang Xinghan. What I praise is that our Northeast Army has broken out of the country and promoted our country's prestige.  "Young Marshal Zhang coughed. "Young Marshal, no matter how the Northeast Border Guards fight, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!  "Rong Jing said. Unexpectedly, Marshal Zhang smiled slightly.He shook his head and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm tired. My health is getting worse day by day. I plan to go abroad to rest for a while and put aside domestic matters for the time being." "But, Marshal, Zhang Xinghan is not the same as us.  Dai Tiantian, what will happen to our Northeast Army when you leave?" Rong Zhen became anxious upon hearing this.  At this time, Miss Zhao Si came over and said to Rong Jin: "Chief of Staff Rong, the Marshal is not in good health. You should go back first." "Miss Zhao!" Rong Jin was a little unwilling and wanted to say something else.  , but saw that Zhang Xueliang's adjutant Chen Dazhang had already walked over and said to him with a solemn hand: "Commander Rong, please." Rong Jin had no choice but to sigh, turned and left.  After watching Rong Jing leave, Miss Zhao Si turned around tenderly and said to Marshal Zhang: "Han Qing, I have made arrangements. We will leave the day after tomorrow to Europe!" (To be continued. If you like this movie,  Works, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes at Qidian.

    Chahar, Zhangjiakou, 41st Army Sun Dianying Headquarters.  Liu Yueting came to Sun Dianying's residence mysteriously. Sun Dianying had been notified by the doorman, and he came out wearing a short shirt.  "Yue Ting, why are you back? What's the matter?" Sun Dianying's pockmarked face looked uglier when she smiled than when she cried.  A few days ago, Liu Yueting went to Rehe on his order to communicate with the Northeastern Army's general Sabuli. The two sides went to discuss the purchase of weapons and other matters. Unexpectedly, Liu Yueting came back so soon.  After Liu Yueting saluted him, he said mysteriously: "Chairman, something big happened outside the customs!" "Oh? What big thing?" Sun Dianying was immediately curious after hearing this.  "It is said that Zhang Xinghan personally led an army of 200,000 people to cross the Yalu River a few days ago and launch a full-scale fierce attack on the Japanese in the Korean Peninsula. Within a few days, they defeated the Japanese and occupied most of the Korean Peninsula!" Liu Yueting!  said excitedly.  "What?" Sun Dianying was obviously shocked and said, "Yue Ting, is this news reliable?" "It's absolutely true!" Liu Yueting said emphatically, "I confirmed it before I came back from my humble post." Sun Dianying nodded and said  : "He Zhang Xinghan transferred an army of 200,000 people? So, the four provinces outside the Pass must be empty now?" Liu Yueting nodded fiercely and said: "Yes, Zhang Xinghan's troops totaled only more than 200,000, and the remaining  The troops and horses under the command are definitely not enough for 50,000 people. With so many people guarding the three eastern provinces, they have to guard against Lao Maozi, Zhang Xueliang in Pingjin and the Japanese. On average, the number of defenders in each place can be imagined.  "I know." "Go and ask Mr. Li Xijiu to come over right away. Let's discuss this. We can't just sit back and ignore this great opportunity!" Sun Dianying said impatiently.  "Yes." Liu Yueting accepted the order happily, turned and left.  Not long after, Li Xijiu was invited over.  "Chairman Sun, I wonder what's the matter with calling this old man here late at night?" Seeing Sun Dianying, Li Xijiu lowered his head slightly as a salute.  Sun Dianying didn't care, and smiled respectfully: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry for inviting you here so late." "It doesn't matter, Chairman Sun has something to do, but it doesn't matter!" Li Xijiu waved his hand.  "Come, let's sit down and talk." Sun Dianying motioned for him and Liu Yueting to sit down. A guard had already come over with tea.  After sitting down, Sun Dianying winked at Liu Yueting. Liu Yueting understood and said, "Mr. Li, it's like this. I just got the news that Zhang Xinghua led the main force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to North Korea to fight the Japanese.  The three northeastern provinces are now very empty" Before Liu Yueting finished speaking, Li Xijiu answered: "Are Chairman Sun and Commander Liu planning to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the four northeastern provinces? " Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting also want to become the king of the Northeast?  He was startled. Sun Dianying had only dreamed of becoming the king of the Northeast. He nodded without thinking and said: "Mr. Li, you also know that Zhang Xinghan drove the tiger to devour the wolf not long ago and made us fight with Song Zheyuan, and both sides lost."  We even lost Rehe Province. At that time, we had no choice but to suffer such a painful loss. Now a great opportunity has come. There is no better time than now. If we miss this time, we will never have such an opportunity.  I'll come again." Li Xijiu closed his eyes slightly and remained silent.  Liu Yueting and Sun Dianying looked at each other, and Sun Dianying asked aloud: "Mr. Li, why don't you speak? Can you tell me what you think?" Li Xijiu made a surprising statement: "If Chairman Sun plans  If we attack to the north, I have only one word to tell you." "What?" Sun Dianying asked in confusion.  "The unjust teacher will be defeated if he comes from nowhere. Chairman Sun, please take care of yourself!" Li Xijiu said expressionlessly.  "Mr. Li, why do you say that?" Liu Yueting was a little unhappy and his tone was serious.  "I'm just telling the truth. I dare to ask General Liu, what is the reputation of Zhang Xinghan and the Northeastern Army among the people across the country? What is their prestige?" Li Xijiu asked.  Liu Yueting said with some reluctance: "The anti-Japanese hero has a huge reputation!"  Knife, take advantage of the opportunity to cause internal strife. Once word spreads, can you two escape the denunciation of public opinion? At that time, our 41st Army will become the target of public criticism, such as the Jinsui Army in Shanxi and Song Zheyuan in Chanan.  And the Northeastern Army in Peiping may even join forces to attack us." Li Xijiu said, "Moreover, how much strength do you think we have now? Can we defeat Zhang Xinghan's garrison in Rehe?"??I have already investigated clearly. Zhang Xinghan's garrison in Rehe only has one division with less than 15,000 troops.  "Liu Yueting said unwillingly. "Yes, they only have 15,000 people, but Zhang Xinghan once defeated Zhang Xueliang's 100,000 army with 30,000 people, and also defeated the same number of Japanese troops in Tongliao.  What do you think the combat effectiveness of our 41st Army is compared to that of the Japanese Army?  "Li Xijiu nodded and asked. Liu Yueting was speechless when asked by Li Xijiu. Seeing that neither of them spoke, Li Xijiu said again: "Chairman Sun, Mr. Liu, don't be impulsive and regret it for the rest of your life. Even if  If we can defeat the Northeastern Border Guards in Rehe, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. When Song Zheyuan suddenly advances eastward, how can we resist?  Isn’t it a waste of time to make someone else’s wedding dress?  " Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting were convinced. After Sun Dianying pondered for a long time, he finally sighed and said: "Well, Mr. Li, your analysis is right, we can't do anything to Zhang Xinghan.  " "Chairman Sun is wise, let alone risking the world's disapproval, let's talk about the military strength of both sides. Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force is not something we can afford to offend.  ????????????????????????????’Don’t you think Chairman Chiang in Nanjing and Marshal Zhang in Peking want to eliminate Zhang Xinghan more than anyone else?  Instead?  But among you, who among them would dare to use force blatantly against Zhang Xinghan’s troops?  Zhang Xueliang entered the customs a few months ago with the slogan of recovering lost territory and fighting against the Japanese invaders!  In the end, it ended in failure. The 100,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and its strength was greatly reduced. I heard that it has been bedridden for many days now!  "Li Xijiu said with another profound meaning. "How many days has Zhang Xueliang been bedridden?  Sun Dianying rolled his eyes and became interested again. Seeing that Sun Dianying had bad intentions again, Li Xijiu quickly dissuaded him and said: "Chairman Sun, even if Zhang Xueliang falls ill, don't take Pingjin's attention. No matter what, he  There are still hundreds of thousands of troops, and their strength is far superior to mine. Moreover, the Ping-Tianjin area is the place where the four battles took place, and it is a place that military strategists cannot take advantage of.  If the general wants to make a difference, he must first completely defeat Song Zheyuan, and then move his army westward. The only correct way out is to plot the northwest!  ” ………………… The next morning, when it was just dawn, Zhang Xinghan woke up. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to sleep more, but it was actually his own artillery unit that had to make a call every half an hour.  There was no room for anyone to sleep. Zhang Xinghan barely slept well all night. When Zhang Xinghan woke up, the orderly had already prepared face wash and toothbrush and toothpaste for him. After a quick wash, Zhang Xinghan came to the headquarters.  Jiang Baili had already arrived one step ahead of him and was having breakfast now. "Chief of Staff, Gao Chu, how early is it!"  "Zhang Xinghan said hello with a slight smile. "Commander, morning!  "Everyone stood up and saluted. Zhang Xinghan waved his hands and said: "Okay, don't do these useless things, eat quickly, eat.  "Breakfast consists of porridge and steamed buns. These are incomparable with the food treatment of the US military and other allied forces later, but during the war in the 1930s, it was already considered a pretty good meal. "The squad leader of the cooking class brought a bowl of porridge and took it  Two steamed buns and a piece of heated canned beef were brought in for Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan was very attentive and didn't pay attention. After finishing breakfast simply and quickly, he asked Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, please send me a message. The airborne brigade is here now."  What position!  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong readily agreed and immediately took the order to leave. Not long after, Guo Zhong left and returned. He stood up and saluted: "Commander, we just received a reply from the airborne brigade. They have taken off from Jinzhou by plane. The plane will be here.  Land once at Pyeongseong Airport, replenish fuel, and then fly directly to Busan for air landing!  It is expected to arrive over Busan in two and a half hours at the latest.  "    "Um.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "In order to attract the enemy's attention and provide favorable conditions for the paratroopers to land, we must launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army in two hours."  Wu Chengfeng, Liu Guodong, Gao Chu!  " "It's a humble job!  "Wu Chengfeng and the other three stepped forward at the same time and stood up to answer. "In two hours, you will take turns commanding the troops to attack the Japanese army to attract the Japanese army and cover the actions of our airborne troops. Do you understand?  " Zhang Xinghan ordered. "Yes!  Humble position understands.  "The three senior high school students stood up and responded at the same time. "Give power to Gao Zhihang, and the air force will be dispatched at the same time to cooperate with the ground artillery troops to launch the most violent bombardment against the Japanese army!  "Zhang Xinghan turned to Guo Zhong and analyzed. "Yes!  "Guo Zhong bowed his head again and responded, turned around and took the order. After Zhang Xinghan gave the order, everyone took the order and acted separately. This continued.??The intermittent shelling at night stopped one after another.  Half an hour later, dozens of He111 bombers, escorted by more than a dozen Zero fighter jets, flew to the front line of Busan and began to launch indiscriminate bombings on the urban area of ??Busan and even the Japanese army's peripheral defense lines.  At the same time, a powerful artillery group consisting of three heavy artillery brigades, five direct artillery regiments and three air defense regiments opened fire at the same time again, dropping thousands of steel bombs on the heads of the Japanese.  The entire urban area of ??Busan and its peripheral positions were soon engulfed in a sea of ??flames.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 345: The Battle of Busan (5) Sixth Update

    "Ah ah ah, help ah ah" On the Japanese army position outside Busan, in the sea of ????fire, the miserable screams of the Japanese soldiers for help could not be heard. Some Japanese soldiers whose whole bodies were on fire let out trembling screams for help.  At the same time, the entire city of Busan was also subjected to violent bombing and air force sweeps. After some weak resistance, the Japanese army's poor anti-aircraft weapons were destroyed by a torrential rain of aerial bombs and machine shells.  submerged.  The Japs and their combined navy fleet have long been frightened, and the Northeast Border Guards have conducted a large-scale reconnaissance patrol and a strict blockade.  Except for a transport fleet that is advancing towards Busan, Japan's combined naval fleet does not have a single warship or aircraft that dares to approach the Busan Port.  Therefore, the Japanese have no air supremacy at all. After eliminating the weak air defense force of the Japanese, Busan has become the absolute world of the Northeast Air Force.  In the Japanese army headquarters in the city, Sakurada Goro rushed into Okamura Neji's office in a panic, picked him up and walked to the door: "Your Excellency, the General, the Chinese army is too crazy. They are launching indiscriminate air raids on Busan again."  Bombing, in order to avoid accidents, you should hurry up and enter the underground bunker with me." Although Okamura Neiji was unwilling, he could not afford to hesitate, because he could already clearly hear the sharp sound of the falling aerial bomb.  There were roars and violent explosions not far from his headquarters.  It is not difficult to imagine that if he does not leave, a bomb may fall at any time, destroying his headquarters into ruins.  Goro Sakurada led a team of guards to protect Neji Okamura. Not long after he evacuated, before entering the air-raid shelter not far away, an aerial bomb roared down.  Okamura Neji's headquarters was instantly enveloped in flames, and the house was instantly flattened by the explosion shock wave. After the flames, the headquarters just now was gone, and it was all rubble and debris.  Okamura Neji was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly took the lead and headed towards the air-raid shelter.  ……………………… The former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  After listening to Guo Zhong's report, Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "If Gao Zhihang is to generate electricity again, the air force's bombing must be in batches and cannot be interrupted. Only with their continuous bombing can the Japanese dare not show their faces. In this way, our airborne troops can  The hope of a successful airborne landing is much greater. The most important thing is not to let the Japanese discover it, otherwise all efforts may be wasted! " "Yes." Guo Zhong responded and left.  Jiang Baili sighed with emotion: "Commander, you are planning to use steel to give the airborne troops some airborne time." "As long as we can capture Busan, everything will be worth it!" Zhang Xinghan said with a slight smile.  After the artillery and air force bombing continued for more than half an hour, Gao Chu took the lead in leading a regiment to attack the Japanese army again. In order to avoid accidental damage, the air force began to shift the focus of bombing raids to the urban area of ??Busan.  "Brothers, charge! Kill!" Gao Chu held the machine gun and led the charge.  Thousands of Northeastern athletes held steel guns and made loud noises. Following him, they launched wave after wave of fierce charges towards the Japanese army positions.  The two sides launched a fierce firepower confrontation. Under the bombardment of the Northeast Army's heavy aerial bombs, the Japanese army's fortifications were much more seriously damaged than yesterday, and the losses were naturally larger, but the main force still existed.  So the battle between the two sides entered the most intense and intense stage from the beginning.  Every second, officers and soldiers from both sides would be shot and killed, and the entire outside of Busan became a battlefield meat grinder.  It only took two hours from the end of the shelling to the arrival of the paratroopers of the Northeast Border Guard in a fleet of transport planes.  The infantrymen of the Northeastern Border Guards were littered with corpses on the hillside, and blood flowed into rivers. The Japanese troops on the top of the mountain also suffered heavy casualties.  Gao Chu, Wu Chengfeng, Liu Guodong, Feng Zhanhai and others have personally led troops to rush several times, and Wu Chengfeng's left arm was injured.  The brutality of the battle can be seen.  "Commander, the paratrooper brigade has been prepared and can be airborne at any time!" Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghanhui.  "Okay, order the bomber groups, fighter groups, and ground artillery units of the Air Force to concentrate all their firepower, bomb the little devils hard, and cover the paratroopers for the air landing!" Zhang Xinghan ordered immediately.  "Yes." At the most critical moment, Jiang Baili was also a little nervous and personally issued the order to the communications corps.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, all infantry attacks were stopped, and the artillery group, which had been idle for nearly two hours, opened fire again.  The air force fighter groups and bomber groups that had arrived in batches also pounced on the Japanese army's outer positions and urban areas again.  A new round of bombing began.  In the NortheastUnder the combined attack of the powerful artillery fire of the National Defense Forces and the firepower of the air force, the Japanese had to hide in the tunnels, air raid shelters, and even the trenches.  So when Wang Longxiang led more than a thousand paratroopers to jump from the high altitude between the urban area and the surrounding mountains, no one in the Japanese army noticed.  In less than ten minutes, more than a thousand paratroopers jumped down, and the umbrellas were blooming, which was very beautiful.  After landing, Wang Longxiang quickly pulled out his dagger, cut off the rope on his body, and ran towards a dense forest.  The location where they landed was at the junction of the suburbs of the city and the surrounding mountainous areas. Many people landed directly into fields and woods.  Soon, Wang Longxiang met up with a large number of his subordinates. After reporting the situation to Zhang Xinghan via the radio, they began to stand by while waiting for other teammates to come to join them.  In the former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern Army, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others were anxiously waiting for news about the paratroopers. Zhang Xinghan was smoking one cigarette after another and pacing back and forth from time to time.  Suddenly, Guo Zhong ran in excitedly and said without even saluting: "Report, Commander, Chief of Staff, Airborne Brigade called. They have assembled 60% of their troops. Everything is in good condition at present. The Japanese army has not discovered them!"  Zhang Xinghan stopped immediately when he heard this, threw the cigarette butt in his hand, and said solemnly: "Okay, the opportunity has come. Order the artillery and air force to immediately stop bombarding the Japanese positions on the top of the mountain. The air force will instead bomb the city of Busan."  Block the possible reinforcements of the Japanese army to the peripheral positions. All ground troops of our army immediately go into battle and launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army! In addition, send a power to Wang Longxiang and order them to attack the Japanese army's positions at all costs and cooperate with us.  Break through the Japanese army's outer defense line! The success or failure of this battle depends on this. The officers and soldiers of each division are allowed to advance but not retreat. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot on the spot. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili, Guo Zhong, Gao Chu and others.  They immediately stood up and responded, then turned around and took the order.  ………………………………… As soon as the artillery stopped shelling, tens of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers, under the cover and guidance of hundreds of tanks, launched an all-out fierce attack on the Japanese army positions.  At this time, the Japanese army had not yet completely emerged from the tunnel, and the Northeastern Army's offensive troops were advancing very fast.  Hundreds of tanks led tens of thousands of officers and soldiers all over the mountains and fields, everywhere.  When a Japanese vanguard got out of the tunnel and came to the front trench, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.  Up and down the hillside, there were Chinese people everywhere. They were all over the mountains and plains, like surging tides.  "Hurry up, hurry up, the Chinese are attacking in a big way, hurry up!" The Japanese soldiers shouted to their companions from behind.  "Kill Gaga! Shoot, shoot!" The Japanese officers in some areas were also startled after they came out. They pulled out their sabers and stood in the bunker and roared almost crazily.  All the Japs opened fire one after another, and the fierce firepower immediately knocked down a large area of ??the charging Northeastern officers and soldiers.  However, more Northeast Army soldiers were not afraid of death and continued to charge forward with roars.  This time, the No. 4 tank group had no reservations. It did not slow down at all when encountering the Japanese minefield. Instead, it rushed in crazily, using its tank body to clear the obstacles for the following infantry.  Some of the rocket soldiers who followed up were in a hurry and used bazooka rocket launchers to bombard the enemy's arrival and the barbed wire fence.  The firepower of the Japanese army on the top of the mountain kept pouring, and countless bullets flew like raindrops. A large number of Northeastern officers and soldiers were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground almost as soon as they fired a shot.  The entire battlefield soon became a river of blood. If someone fell from the front, someone from behind would immediately fill in.  Rushing to the end, the people who followed up the attack even tripped because there were too many corpses of their companions at their feet.  Some officers and soldiers could not help but start singing their military songs because they had seen too many comrades fall.  At the critical moment when the battle situation was stalemate and the Northeastern Army's offensive troops were suffering casualties, Wang Longxiang led his paratrooper brigade and attacked in separate groups.  The Japanese did not expect that the Northeastern Army would appear behind them, and the fortifications were basically designed to protect against the outside but not the inside.  More than a thousand well-equipped Northeastern Army paratroopers were like sharp swords, fiercely inserted into the Japanese defense line.  Under attack from both sides, the Japanese defense line was in panic.  In the city, the air raid shelter of the Japanese Army Headquarters.  After Sakurada Goro received a call, his expression suddenly changed. He turned to Okamura Neji and reported: "General, it's not good. Report from the front. A Chinese army suddenly appeared behind our peripheral defense line. They are equipped with fine equipment."  Good and powerful, we?The frontline troops can hardly resist it.  "    "What?  "Okamura Neiji's face suddenly changed drastically. He couldn't believe it. How could this be possible? Then he seemed to have thought of something and shouted sternly: "It must be, it must be the airborne troops of the China Army, from the Battle of Dalian.  They used it once, why didn't I think of it" With a mixture of regret and regret, Okamura Neiji roared with red eyes: "Immediately order the troops to go out of the city for reinforcements, quickly, we must seize the outer positions at all costs!  " "But, General, the Chinese air force is conducting violent bombings on the whole city. To send troops out at this time is to seek death!  "Sakuda Goro said with some hesitation.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Another six updates, squatting in the pit asking for monthly votes!!!

    Why do I say this? Because after writing this single chapter, I have to go to WC. I have been having diarrhea these days and I have been having trouble getting rid of it. It feels like a nymphomaniac, which is not understandable to outsiders.  Especially since the temperature suddenly dropped last night, well, all kinds of adverse reactions caused by poor physical fitness of homebodies have begun to appear. The weather is getting cold, and parents who need to pay more attention to clothing.  Now let’s get down to business. Today we have six updates again. I hurriedly hurriedly and finally got the code out before twelve o’clock. Please give me some monthly votes to support me. The one I voted for today plus the one voted by Hu Bensang is only four. It’s pitiful.  You can hit the wall.  At present, the book has more than one million words, and there is still a lot to write about the plot. Believe me, I will keep writing like this, for no other reason. If I stop updating, there will be no half-year award. That is also a year.  A pretty considerable income!  (This is true. For a street guy like me) Furthermore, all fiscal measures have been ruined. It’s time to bottom out and pick up the pieces piece by piece, right?  After all, we have to save some character for the next book, right?  Therefore, no matter it is windy or rainy, no matter thunder or lightning, no matter what happens, it must be photographed on the back of my code. Coding makes a living. So if the coding work is not completed, how can I make a living?  So from now on I will focus on my work.  Please supervise everyone. Finally (I can’t hold it anymore, I go to any door) I still ask for monthly tickets. Let’s do this. The monthly tickets are now 175. If I can get 200 before 12 o’clock tomorrow, I will still ask for them the day after tomorrow.  Sixth update, brothers, let’s see if it’s possible. The fifteen-day update seems to have reached close to 200,000 words, either 200,000 or 190,000 words. I think I should be considered a diligent and good boy.  This time I just want to win another monthly ticket award, please help me!  !  !  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 346: Breakthrough in Busan

    "Baggaya Road, if the outer defense line is broken through by the Chinese, their tank troops will march directly to the city. How can Busan defend it? Go quickly, hurry up, and defeat the Chinese paratroopers at all costs.  I will eliminate them and resolutely defend the outer defense line //High-speed update//" Neji Okamura roared with anger on his face.  "Hai!" Seeing that Okamura Neji was really angry, Sakurada Goro didn't dare to say anything more. He bowed his head in response, turned around, took the saber and left as ordered.  Soon, about two thousand Japanese soldiers were divided into groups, leaving the city from the north, east and west of the city respectively, and rushed to the outer positions in the north direction of the city.  The Japanese knew that the Chinese Air Force was wreaking havoc in the sky above them, so they cunningly divided into three groups and left the city in batches to avoid excessive losses due to air force firepower.  However, this little cleverness of the Japanese was obviously a miscalculation. In order to ensure the success of this internal and external attack, Zhang Xinghan issued an order to Gao Zhihang's air force to carry out air strikes and bombings against the Japanese army at all costs. The most important one was  Once it is discovered that the Japanese army has reinforcements leaving the city, they will be intercepted at all costs.  So, how could the Air Force let the Japanese reinforcements pass so easily?  The official road out of the city was flat, wide, and unobstructed, and the Northeast Air Force was carefully monitoring it. The Japanese were discovered as soon as they left the city.  Two Stuka dive bombers arrived as scheduled, and the piercing screams became a nightmare in the ears of the Japanese reinforcements. After a sweep and bombing, nearly half of the more than 200 Japanese soldiers who first left the city from the north gate fell down.  No way, the Stuka dive bomber's hit rate is too high. You can imagine that it can accurately dive and drop bombs against high-speed ground armored targets.  What's more, with a queue of two to three hundred people, even if the Japanese dispersed in front and back, they could not offset the explosion shock waves of several heavy aerial bombs.  There are machine guns at the rear and front of the Stuka, and their role cannot be underestimated. With a combination of bombing and machine gun sweeps, the Japanese casualties are expected.  With the enemy situation discovered, the two Stuka bombers launched an attack to intercept while simultaneously reporting to other colleagues.  When their second round of sweeps just started, a Zero fighter jet arrived first.  At this time, less than one-third of the more than 200 Japs who had left the city in advance were already gone. The Zero fighter jets could also dive and sweep at ultra-low altitudes, and they were very fast and had strong firepower. The 20mm machine cannon they were equipped with could destroy even tanks.  Not to mention the flesh and blood body of the little devil.  After a dive and sweep, the last small aerial bomb weighing 25 kilograms carried in the magazine was finally dropped on the panicked Japanese who were fleeing.  The weight of this aerial bomb is almost the same as that of a 105 or 120mm caliber howitzer projectile, but because it was dropped directly in a dive, the power of the explosion is even greater than the latter.  "Boom" There was a loud noise, and scarlet fire appeared. About seven or eight Japanese soldiers were swallowed up by the shock wave and died instantly.  The three planes pursued and swept back and forth several times, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured. Only less than 20 people fled the scene. However, they had already lost their souls, the organization was in chaos, and some of their weapons and equipment were lost.  There is no way to support the forward positions.  The situation of the Japs in the other two directions was similar. The city had already been bombed indiscriminately by the Northeast Air Force. Both the Japs and the Koreans in the city suffered heavy casualties. The entire Busan was a sea of ??fire and chaos.  After the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers who left the city in the current period were almost wiped out by dozens of aircraft from the Northeast Air Force taking turns to carry out air strikes, the remaining Japanese soldiers began to fear and move forward.  However, before they had the opportunity to report to Okamura Neiji about the difficulties and dangers of leaving the city, a large-scale carpet bombing by several He111 medium bombers of the Northeast Air Force roared in.  The he111 bomber's bomb carrying capacity and the power of its aerial bombs are unmatched by other aircraft. Several bombers dropped several aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms in the blink of an eye.  The areas in the north, east and west of the city near the city gate were instantly destroyed, with explosions and fire everywhere.  More than a thousand Japanese soldiers huddled in the city suffered heavy casualties, and their reinforcements out of the city were interrupted.  The Japanese army’s underground bunker.  Sakurada Goro stumbled to Okamura Neiji with a pale face, and said sadly: "Your Excellency, General, several brigades leaving the city were attacked by the China Air Force's devastating air attack, causing heavy losses, and the reinforcement operation failed.  " Upon hearing this, Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed, and he sat down with a miserable look on his face, like a balloon that had been emptied of air. His whole person no longer had the previous vitality, and a sense of decadence instantly took over his mental outlook.  At the same time, on the outer hills outside Busan City.  The fierce battle between the two sides has reached its climaxAt this moment, Wang Longxiang led more than a thousand paratroopers and after a bloody battle, they finally repelled the Japanese counterattack and stood firm on their position. ? Securing a golden opportunity for the main attacking force on the front.  Looking at the blue sky and white sun flag erected by the paratrooper commandos, the morale of the Northeast Frontier Army soldiers who were suppressed by the Japanese firepower was suddenly boosted.  "Brothers, charge! In one go, capture the Japanese position and kill them!" Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng and others stood up with their necks hunched, their faces red, and they shouted at the top of their lungs.  Tens of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers were excited and launched a final charge against the Japanese army without fear of death.  "The Japanese army's morale was severely damaged. Some Japanese soldiers who did not know the truth began to want to retreat. Coupled with the paratroopers' desperate assault, they expanded the occupied area.  The Japanese's firepower was forced to weaken and cease. The flood-like soldiers of the Northeast Army took this opportunity to rush to the top of the mountain. At this time, their weapon advantages were more fully displayed.  MP38 submachine guns, machine guns, and semi-automatic rifles fired fiercely at the Japanese who were about to fight with their rifles and bayonets, easily eliminating the Japanese's last stubborn resistance.  In his own forward observation post, Zhang Xinghan saw this and excitedly put down his telescope and high-fived: "It's done!" Jiang Baili also put down his telescope, frowned and said with a smile: "Chief, we will finally win this battle.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Don't miss this opportunity. Send messengers immediately to inform the attacking troops. Let me take Busan and drive the little devils into the sea!" "Yes" Jiang Baili nodded happily.  After making a sound, he turned around and went to deliver the order himself.  Zhang Xinghan also walked out of the observation post and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, let's go to the firing line." With Zhang Xinghan's order, tens of thousands of Northeast Army officers and soldiers annihilated most of the main force outside the Japanese army.  The remaining defeated generals who directly chased the Japanese launched an attack on Busan.  The tank troops finally crossed the mountain forest that had blocked them for two days, and followed the large infantry swarm towards the city of Busan.  When Zhang Xinghan led Guo Zhong and others to the battlefield on the top of the mountain, the fighting here had already ended. The sound of gunfire, cannons, and shouts of killing had already advanced to Busan City.  Standing on the top of the mountain, you can vaguely hear the roaring explosions and dense gunfire.  The smell of blood and gunpowder smoke from the position on the top of the mountain filled the air, making people feel like breathing was dull and nauseating.  Looking around, as far as the eye can see, there are corpses of soldiers from both sides everywhere, and broken guns and weapons are scattered in every corner of the battlefield.  Some wounded soldiers of the Northeast Army were moaning in pain one after another, and the logistics medical staff had already led the stretcher team to carry out emergency rescue.  Zhang Xinghan came to a wounded soldier and found that his right leg had been broken by a cannonball. He had passed out due to excessive blood loss, his face was a little pale, and he was extremely weak.  Two nurses and a doctor are rescuing him.  Stimulated by the severe pain of the bandage, the wounded soldier woke up, opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xinghan standing in front of him.  "Commander-in-Chief" The wounded soldier's eyes were filled with excitement, but his physical weakness made him almost speechless.  Zhang Xinghan quickly leaned down and comforted him: "Good brother, you are good, I am proud of you!" After hearing these two heart-warming words from Zhang Xinghan, the wounded soldier suddenly burst into tears and began to cry in a low voice.  The excitement was palpable.  "Take good care of your injuries. The army will never abandon you. Don't worry." Zhang Xinghan patted the wounded soldier on the shoulder and said.  The wounded soldier nodded gratefully.  Guo Zhong waved his hand, and several stretcher members carried him off.  "Commander, our attacking troops are overwhelming and have already entered Busan City. They are currently engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese army!" A communications soldier rushed over on a three-wheeled motorcycle and reported.  "Well, I understand. Tell all the siege troops to work together and fight quickly until the Busan Pier is captured!" Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered.  "Yes." After the signal soldier saluted, he returned on his motorcycle.  Watching the motorcycle go away, Zhang Xinghan turned to Guo Zhong and said: "Zhongzi, please inform Gao Zhihang to strengthen the air attacks and bombings on the pier to completely cut off the escape route of the Busan Japanese army." "Yes" Guo Zhong responded.  , then turned around and ordered a communications soldier to go.  At the same time, in the bunker of the Japanese military headquarters in the city.  A Japanese colonel with a gray face was trying to persuade Okamura Neji and Sakurada Goro who were almost lost. ?"Your Excellency, General, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Chinese offensive is too fierce. Our main force has been completely wiped out. The city defense of Busan has been bombed by their air force and is in ruins. The Chinese army has already invaded the city. The situation is critical. Please call the two generals."  Evacuate quickly! " Sakurada Goro looked up at Okamura Neji and saw that he had no response. He couldn't help but sigh and lowered his head again. Based on his understanding of Okamura Neji for so many days, he was at this time.  It's the scariest time.  Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, he did not dare to say anything more and just waited for him to make his own decision. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very aggrieved if Okamura Neji got angry at himself and killed himself?  PS: Thank you all for your monthly votes. I am only eight votes short of 200 votes.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 347: Okamura Neji escapes

    Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a Japanese Army communications soldier suddenly rushed in.  He saluted the silent Okamura Neiji and said: "Report to your Excellency General, the 20,000 reinforcements from the Imperial Guards Division have arrived in the waters outside Busan, and are less than thirty nautical miles away from the Busan Port." Okamura Neiji and others heard this.  Yan was shocked, and Sakurada Goro stood up directly, looking at Okamura Neji with a look of surprise and joy.  After the initial surprise, Okamura Neiji's expression quickly returned to its original state. He seemed to be saying to himself: "It's too late. The Chinese army of hundreds of thousands has already invaded Busan City. How can we still count on our 20,000 reinforcements?"  Want to defeat them through street fighting? Take back Busan?" After saying that, he shook his head in despair.  "Your Excellency, General, since the situation in Busan is irreversible, General, please evacuate as soon as possible." The Japanese colonel took advantage of the situation to persuade: "We can ask the Guards Division to send some ships to support us." Because of the dry mouth attack at the dock,  By the fierce bombing by the Chinese Air Force, all the ships parked in the port had been lost, so the Japanese colonel said this.  Seeing the opportunity, Goro Sakurada couldn't help but stand up and echoed the advice: "Your Excellency General, Colonel Kuhara is right. The reinforcements from the Guards Division are here. We can ask them to assist the general in evacuating China!  There is a saying that there is no need to worry about leaving green hills without firewood. Busan is irreversible. There is no need for the general to hold on here. " "Retreat?" A helpless sneer appeared at the corner of Okamura Neiji's mouth.  "First I lost Manchuria, and now I've lost the Koryo Peninsula? What kind of face do you want me to go back to see His Majesty the Emperor?" Sakurada Goro quickly lowered his head when he heard this. After the fall of Busan, it means that the Koryo Peninsula will be destroyed.  They were all completely lost, and he, the chief of staff, was also to blame.  "Your Excellency, General, please think twice!" The Japanese commander named Jiuyuan quickly advised him with an anxious expression.  "No more persuasion, I decided to live and die with Busan to comfort the tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers who died." Okamura Neiji waved his hand resolutely.  "General!" Sakurada Goro and Kuhara Colonel shouted in unison.  "Baga, stand down!" Neji Okamura stood up and shouted with a stern look.  "Hai." Goro Sakurada and Colonel Kuhara quickly bowed their heads in response, turned around and retreated unwillingly.  The communications soldier did not leave, and asked cautiously, as if walking on thin ice: "Your Majesty General, the commander of the Guards Division is still waiting for our reply?!" Okamura Neji stood up and walked to the map, pondered for a moment and said: "Here  The Guards Division called back, saying that the situation in Busan has reached an irreversible point. In order to prevent them from being attacked by the Chinese air attack, please return to the base camp as soon as possible. In addition, Okamura Neiji's poor command caused the Busan defense line to be prematurely attacked by the Chinese army.  Breakthrough, in order to atone for my sins, I am determined to stay and lead the warriors of the Imperial Army to fight against the Chinese Army to the last soldier, in order to repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, and long live the Empire of Japan!" The communications soldier was shocked and suddenly!  He bowed his head and accepted the order and left.  .  In Busan City, when the main ground forces broke through the Japanese army's outer defense line and attacked the city of Busan, the Northeast Army's air force stopped bombing Busan to avoid possible accidental damage.  Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng, Gao Chu, Feng Zhanhai and others have already led their troops to invade the city.  Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army are gradually advancing into the city, while there are still officers and soldiers pouring into the city from the rear.  Some tanks rolled over the rubble along the wide streets, covering the infantry charges.  From time to time, we will encounter resistance from small groups of Japanese troops or even individual soldiers.  However, the firepower of both sides was not at the same level. In similar street fighting, the Northeastern Border Guards captured the entire North Manchuria from Tongliao, then went south from North Manchuria, and then invaded the Korean Peninsula. They attacked cities and villages along the way, and defeated countless people.  Second-rate. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out  And it also occupies absolute military superiority and psychological advantage.  Naturally, it is not comparable to the Japanese soldiers who are defeated and have low morale.  With a fierce fire sweep, all the Japanese soldiers blocking the road were shot and fell. After a few rocket soldiers were equipped with new rockets, they followed the tanks and infantry and continued to advance forward.  Outside the city, a large number of tanks and armored units bypassed Busan City and headed straight for the docks and ports.  By this time, the Japanese port had already been bombarded into ruins. There were wreckage of destroyed warships, unburned fortifications, and corpses of Japanese soldiers that had been blown to pieces.  Since Okamura Neji insisted on not retreating,?There were not many Japanese troops on the dock.  The tank troops completely annihilated them with one assault.  Zhang Xinghan has already returned to the headquarters. There is no suspense about the Battle of Busan. It is only a matter of time before he can win. His mood is rarely relaxed.  After this battle is over, his military operation to the Koryo Peninsula can come to a successful conclusion.  As soon as he sat down and took a sip from his teacup, a communications soldier ran in excitedly. When he came to him, he stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the First Tank Division reported that they have successfully captured the dock and port.  "There are no Japanese warships on the sea, and the Japs in Busan City have been surrounded by us!" "Don't the Japs have any important personnel to break out?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked Jiang Baili who was standing aside.  The communications soldier shook his head: "I don't know about this humble position, but the 1st Tank Division was not mentioned in the message. It must be because there is no Japanese army to break through." "Okay, in this way, all the little Japanese in Busan will become turtles in the urn.  Tell all the troops that this may be our last battle on the Korean Peninsula. All divisions and regiments will attack with all their strength to clear out the remaining enemies in the city before dark and resolve the battle!" Zhang Xinghan ordered immediately.  "Yes!" The communications soldier stood up and responded, then turned around and trotted away to take the order.  ……………………… Okamura Neiji walked out of the underground bunker carrying his general’s sword. At this time, there were loud gunshots from all directions, shouts of killing, and explosions as if they were nearby.  Okamura Neji frowned, knowing that the last moment was coming.  Chief of Staff Sakurada Goro came over dejectedly and reported to Okamura Neiji: "General, the north, west, east and south of the city have been surrounded by the Chinese army, and they are constantly advancing. We control  The area is decreasing rapidly, and it may be difficult to hold on until dark." Okamura Neiji did not answer, but walked away with his saber.  Sakurada Goro and Hirano Colonel quickly followed with the last guards.  "Warriors, since the Battle of Manchuria so far, we have lost no less than 300,000 Imperial Army soldiers. All of this was caused by the Northeastern Army of Zhang Xinghan of the China Army. Just now and even now, we still have compatriots fighting bloody battles with them,  Death and sacrifice. We are inseparable from them. Today in the battle of Busan, I have decided to fight with you to the end! Long live the Emperor!" Okamura Neiji came to an open space.  , said impassionedly to the more than a hundred elite guards following him as well as the Japanese officers and soldiers stationed in several nearby houses.  Encouraged by his few words, more than two hundred Japanese officers and soldiers at the scene raised their arms and shouted excitedly: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire of Japan!" Just when Okamura Neiji planned to lead his men into battle,  During the final battle.  A communications staff officer hurried over, waved his hand and shouted: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call from the base camp, there is an urgent call from the base camp!" Neji Okamura turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "A call from the base camp?"  "Yes, Your Majesty General, there is an urgent call from the base camp!" the communications staff officer nodded seriously.  "Read it!" Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said.  "Hai." The Japanese communications staff member suddenly lowered his head, opened the message and read: "The Battle of Busan is irreversible. The base camp has been informed that we have lost the Korean Peninsula, but we cannot afford to lose another outstanding commander. We will succeed for a while.  Failure is nothing. I hereby order Okamura Neiji to organize a breakout immediately, clean up the troops stationed on Jeju Island and other islands, and return to the mainland for further discussions. This order is extremely urgent. Please obey Okamura-kun! " Okamura Neiji immediately heard this!  I was a little confused. My poor performance on the Korean Peninsula was not surprising even if I was put in a military court. How could the base camp express such a stance?  Okamura Neji was confused, but Sakurada Goro and Kuhara Colonel were overjoyed.  Colonel Kuhara hurriedly advised Okamura Neji: "Your Excellency General, since the base camp ordered us to evacuate Busan, please ask the general to evacuate as soon as possible. I will organize troops immediately. The Chinese army's offensive is weakest at the south gate. We can start from  Where to break out! Then order the defenders of Xiao Dok Island to send ships to assist our evacuation. " "Yes, General, Colonel Kuhara is right. Please don't hesitate. You are not fleeing in fear. This is the base camp.  Order." Sakurada Goro also advised him that Okamura Neji planned to die to prove his ambition, but he didn't want to die. This old devil hadn't lived enough yet.  He was originally a mid-level staff officer in the local base camp. This time he took over North Korea with Neji Okamura.It has been less than half a year since the army was appointed as chief of staff, and he has not even tasted the taste of being a frontier official. How can he bear to die like this?  Seeing that Okamura Neji was silent and hesitant, Sakurada Goro winked at Kuhara Colonel.  Colonel Jiuhara immediately understood, waved his hands to the guards behind him and said: "Quickly, escort Commander Okamura to break out, hurry up!" "Hai!" Several Japanese guards stepped forward quickly, one on the left and one on the right.  He held Okamura Neji and left.  "Baga, what are you doing?" Okamura Neji pretended to be angry.  "General, please forgive me. When we escape from the trap, you can do whatever you want to do with your humble position. Now please forgive me for being humble and unreasonable." After Kuhara Colonel said this, he waved to his subordinates. The guards immediately picked up Neji Okamura and left.  .  (To be continued. ∷Update quickly∷∷Plain text∷

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 348: Entering the City

    Everyone is afraid of death, but some people are forced to choose to die due to certain circumstances. Once they have excuses and reasons for self-comfort, the instinct to survive will instantly take over their thoughts.  Okamura Neiji is this person. With this message from the base camp that was similar to an amnesty order, his belief in death instantly collapsed. He left the headquarters with half-hearted escort by his subordinates and ran all the way to the south of the city.  Gathering our defeated troops along the road, we planned to break out from the south gate.  Busan is so huge that all the tens of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers who entered the city only occupied a small area. Moreover, there were still more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers in the city relying on the criss-crossing alleys and large and small buildings to resist.  So the whole city was full of gunshots and explosions, and the whole city was shrouded in smoke and flames of war.  Attacking the city from the south were some tanks of the 1st Tank Division and officers and soldiers of a certain battalion of the 205th Division. They were advancing with difficulty and encountered stubborn Japanese resistance along the way.  Okamura Nei’s order to break out of the encirclement was quickly conveyed to the Japanese troops who were still resisting in the southern area of ??the city. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers began to launch a desperate counterattack.  Everywhere you can see the desperate and fearless Japanese soldiers holding explosive packs and launching suicidal charges against the tanks and attacking crowds of the Northeastern Border Guards.  The attacking Northeastern Army was completely unprepared for the fact that the Japanese who had been beaten back steadily would suddenly become so bloodthirsty and brave.  In a hurry, two tanks were blown up, and the infantry were forced to retreat back to the original route.  Colonel Kuhara and Goro Sakurada led nearly a thousand elites to escort Okamura Neji and took advantage of the situation to break out of the city.  Before they broke through, the Japanese garrison on nearby Dokdo Island received news that two 500-ton transport ships had arrived at the shore not far from the port.  The 1st Tank Division was blocking the port. The Japanese army suddenly rushed out of the city without any expectation. Dozens of tanks hurriedly turned around to intercept.  Hundreds of Japanese soldiers fought desperately to stop them. When the tank soldiers defeated them and chased them to the shore, Okamura Neiji and others had already boarded the transport ship and sailed away from the shore.  A tank division commander who led the team shouted angrily: "Fire. Fire! Let me sink the damn thing!" Dozens of tanks opened fire one after another, and the shells fell into the water and exploded into the sky. But in a hurry,  During this time, the accuracy was slightly off and failed to hit the target.  The two Japanese transport ships fled as fast as flying on the water.  The captain and company commander punched the tank with anger, "Oh!" Okamura Neiji and other members of the headquarters all fled, and the more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers in the city fell into a situation of fighting on their own.  By evening, basically all of them were divided and surrounded by the Northeastern New Army and eliminated one by one.  The Northeast Army headquarters outside the city.  Guo Zhong excitedly reported to Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili: "Commander, chief of staff, and all siege troops reported. They have basically eliminated the remaining Japanese enemies in the city, and Busan has been captured by us!" "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to  Jiang Baili said: "Chief of Staff, we can have a good sleep." "Yes, the soldiers have worked hard these days." Jiang Baili nodded happily.  "The order is passed, all troops will take a short rest, and the city entry ceremony will be held tomorrow to officially declare the victory of the Battle of Goryeo!" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded.  Then he turned around and took the order to leave.  There was a silent night, and occasionally a few gunshots rang out in Busan City, which was the last desperate struggle of some trapped fish.  Early the next morning, the blue sky and white sun flags were already flying in the wind at the four gates of Busan.  In the wilderness outside the north of the city.  Tens of thousands of Northeast Army infantry and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles are all busy preparing to enter the city.  Yesterday, this place was the frontline battlefield for the two-flying battle.  Although it has been cleaned, remnants of the battle can still be seen everywhere, with craters everywhere.  The scorched earth, as well as the bloodstains that have not yet dried in some places, all show that fierce battles have taken place here.  But the officers and soldiers have turned a blind eye to this. They are now the victors, full of the joy of the victors and the excitement of the upcoming entrance into the city.  The soldiers were enthusiastic and, under the command of their respective commanders, began to prepare for the city entry ceremony.  In the city of Busan, the citizens of Busan who had been fighting for the rest of their lives were cautiously walking out of their houses in twos and threes. Overnight, Busan had changed hands, and these Korean stickmen couldn't help but be frightened.  However, when they saw the Northeastern Army armed with live ammunition walking by on the street from time to time, they were still frightened and wanted to hide.  Until the Northeast officers and soldiers had no other choicePassing by them smoothly, Qiu did not make any mistakes, and these Korean stickmen breathed a deep sigh of relief.  Someone took the lead, and soon the streets were crowded with Koreans. However, before the Koreans could gather for long, a large group of heavily armed Northeastern troops came menacingly along the streets.  The Koreans hurriedly retreated to both sides of the street to make way. After these Northeastern officers and soldiers entered the city, they quickly stood on both sides of the street and formed two long queues, blocking the dense Koreans behind them. The entire street was quickly cleared into a spacious avenue.  .  The Koreans looked around, whispered to each other, and kept talking about birdsong. They seemed to be discussing the purpose of the Northeast Army's move.  Outside the city, tens of thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers have been prepared.  Someone had reported to Zhang Xinghan early, and Zhang Xinghan immediately led Jiang Baili and others to the north gate by car.  "A total of more than 50,000 people from the 201st and 202nd Infantry Divisions and the Independent Armored Tank Corps are participating in the city entry ceremony this time. They are all ready. Please review!" Zhang Xinghan's car has just arrived at the North Gate and is responsible for coordinating and commanding this event.  Zhao Zhenfan, who was reviewing the military parade, came up with the commanders of each division.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Guoping and all the brothers have worked hard. The reason why I decided to hold a city entry ceremony in Busan is to show our force to the Korean people and prevent them from having second thoughts."  After finishing, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili got out of the car one after another and boarded the open-top military jeep that Zhao Zhenfan had prepared.  Standing on the jeep, holding on to the front windshield, Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly to Guo Zhong, who was acting as the driver.  Guo Zhong understood and immediately started the jeep, and the car slowly began to move forward.  At this time, 50,000 Northeastern military officers and soldiers were lined up in several queues on one side of the official road. The queues were neat and uniform and were several kilometers long.  “All the soldiers were in high spirits and fully armed, with bright and sharp bayonets mounted on the muzzles of their guns, which reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.  Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others followed Zhang Xinghan in a car.  When the jeep entered the official road and just reached the end of the formation, the tank and armored soldiers of a tank formation lined up here saluted in unison, looked at Zhang Xinghan, and shouted in unison: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!" "Hello, brothers!  "Zhang Xinghan was so shocked by the soldiers' unanimous shouts that his eardrums hurt. At the same time, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. With tens of thousands of soldiers quietly waiting for his review, how majestic is that?  How arrogant?  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others waved to the troops being reviewed. Everywhere they went, soldiers would shout "Hello Commander-in-Chief" in unison.  In the middle, some officers and soldiers could not restrain themselves from shouting slogans such as "Long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang."  Commander-in-Chief Zhang felt deeply moved, and he also raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Chinese nation! Long live the Northeast Army!" When Zhang Xinghan led Jiang Baili and others to inspect the 50,000 soldiers, the blood in all the soldiers was boiling.  They looked at Zhang Xinghan with ardent adoration, respecting him like a god. Even if Zhang Xinghan asked them to die immediately, they would execute it without hesitation.  The commander-in-chief's personal prestige has reached an unprecedented height in their hearts.  "Brothers, line up and enter the city! Let the Korean army have a good look at the style of our Chinese army!" Zhang Xinghan stood on the jeep and waved his arms vigorously and shouted.  The first group of infantrymen who approached the city gate immediately turned around. Under the leadership of their respective officers, they lined up in a neat formation and entered the Busan City with high spirits.  At this time, the streets in the city have already been controlled by the security forces.  As soon as the soldiers passed the city gate, a leading major of the Northeast Army waved the blue sky and white sun flag in his hand forward, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ready! Raise your gun!" The officers and soldiers of the square team following him immediately put their hands on  The bayonet-mounted Garand rifle was tilted upward at a forty-five-degree angle.  The bayonets glowed with a chilling light under the scorching sun. The soldiers marched in unison, their bayonets like a forest, and they marched together.  A terrifying and murderous aura rushed towards him.  The Korean people who were blocked by the security forces on both sides of the street couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw this. How could these Koreans be so majestic?  After several infantry formations passed by, a huge formation of tanks and armored vehicles drove into the city and appeared in the sight of the Koreans.  When those huge steel behemoths appeared in front of the Korean people, the eyes of the Korean people in the city were full of fear and shock.  Some Korean women couldn’t help but grow their mouths.  "Rumble, rumble" the motors of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles made a dull and ear-splitting sound.With roaring sounds, they rolled forward like a torrent of steel, and each roar shocked the psychology of the Korean people present.  Such a well-equipped, mighty and majestic division obviously left an indelible impression on the hearts of the Koreans present.  The shock to them was even stronger than that of the Japanese army.  The 50,000-strong army marched in from the north of the city, came out from the south, and penetrated the whole city, allowing all the Korean soldiers in Busan to witness their heroic demeanor.  After the entry into the city was over, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others began to discuss the formation of the remaining troops, and at the same time sent out air force reconnaissance planes to begin sea reconnaissance to prevent the Japanese from coming back.  PS: This is the first update, and there will be five more updates. I will try my best to code it out before twelve o'clock!  Stay tuned!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 349: Return of the Class Teacher

    "Commander, I think that in addition to leaving a considerable number of troops to garrison, we should also build another military airport in the Seoul area and use it with Pingcheng Airport to prepare for emergencies!" The interim commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in Busan City  Inside the ministry, Jiang Baili pointed at the map and raised his head to make suggestions to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, this is indeed necessary. Although a Pingcheng airport can cover the entire Korean Peninsula with our air force's range and combat radius, once there is a problem with this airport, our air force will be in trouble.  "Let's do it. Chief of Staff, please immediately decide on the construction of the airport and leave it to the remaining troops. All the required manpower and material resources will be fully provided!" Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and continued: "As for the remaining troops, I think one hundred thousand will be left behind."  "A large army plus three hundred tanks should be enough." "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded: "A hundred thousand troops and three hundred tanks stationed on the Korean Peninsula are almost one-third of our total strength, which is enough to deal with the Japanese or Russia.  "Even if we can't hold off the enemy, we can still hold on until our reinforcements arrive." "Again, if our troops are too weak, we can temporarily abandon some areas and trade space for time while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.  It can also slow down the opponent's offensive. This Korean Peninsula is not our land and there are no people to defend it, so we have no burden to retreat," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then everything is settled, Commander, can we return home in triumph?" Jiang Baili asked.  "Go back to the country, well, it's time to go back, otherwise if time goes by, what kind of trouble will Lao Maozi and the local warlords in the pass make if they can't keep it together!" Zhang Xinghan asked: "By the way, Lao Maozi has done nothing during this time.  "Right?" Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head: "Probably not. Although our 100,000 reserve troops have just been formed, they are still a 100,000-strong army. The Russians will not dare to act rashly until they understand the actual situation.  Our army has been defeated twice, and it is inevitable that there will be some psychological shadow. In addition, we sent troops to Goryeo to fight quickly. It did not take half a month to wait for the Russians to figure out the actual situation. If they wanted to launch a large-scale attack, it was impossible.  You need time to prepare." "Haha, that's good." Zhang Xinghan smoked and said, "But this kind of strategic risk is enough. You can't use it again. There is no guarantee that there will be no accidents."  Baili Shen nodded sympathetically and said: "Yes, the territory we control now exceeds nearly three million square kilometers, but our total military strength, let's add up to the reserve troops, is only more than 300,000. It is less than 400,000.  , It's really too few. The most important thing is that we have too many enemies. These troops are more than enough to resist one party's attack. I'm afraid that the little devils and old Maozi may join forces to deal with us. By then, our troops will be somewhat stretched.  "It's very difficult to fight on two fronts!" "The little devils have lost their foundation in the Korean Peninsula. They will not be able to counterattack within two years. We will not be stable in the country for at least two years."  For development, this is enough for us. In two years, I will build a million-strong army, and then we will compete with the Japanese and Russians!" Zhang Xinghan said loudly with ambition in his eyes.  Jiang Baili nodded silently, indeed, for the hegemony of Northeast Asia.  Sooner or later, they are bound to have a battle with the Japanese and Russians.  And this battle will determine the fate of the three parties, of which the Northeast Army and Japan are most fundamentally and directly involved. ?? Lao Maozi is located in Europe, thousands of miles away. The ice and snow are their natural barrier, and they cannot solve the little Japan.  Zhang Xinghan did not have the ability to use all his country's strength to advance northward.  After the discussion, Zhang Xinghan retained Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng, Feng Zhanhai, and Gao Chu.  Wang Tiehan and others led 100,000 infantry and one tank division, totaling about 120,000 troops, stationed in various parts of the Korean Peninsula, mainly in the southern coastal area of ??the peninsula.  In addition, the Air Force also left two hundred aircraft to station at Pingcheng Airport as a precautionary measure.  He, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others led another 100,000 main troops to return home.  The troops moved slowly, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili took the guard battalion directly back to China by plane.  We returned to Jilin City that night, and Zang Shiyi, Shen Xingye and others who stayed behind went to the airport to greet them in person.  "Commander, Chief of Staff, you have worked hard all the way. Congratulations on your triumphant return!" Zang Shiyi saluted Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghan with a smile on his face.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Haha, Minister Zang managed the rear area and provided us with logistical supplies during our absence. He was also very busy. This time our army was able to achieve a complete victory, and so were you."?It’s a must!  " Zang Shiyi laughed and said: "No, no, I just fulfilled my duty. Our army was able to achieve a great victory and conquer the Koryo Peninsula, all thanks to your foresight and wise command, Commander-in-Chief!  " Seeing Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army develop rapidly and become stronger, Zang Shiyi's heart is also changing subtly. He is not absolutely loyal, but he definitely does not dare to have second thoughts. His loyalty to Zhang Xueliang has also become weaker and weaker.  "Okay, Minister Zang, you and the Commander-in-Chief should stop being polite to each other here. Do you have anything to eat?"  We've been on a plane for several hours and haven't eaten anything, but we're all starving.  "Jiang Baili said with a smile. Zang Shiyi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I have already prepared wine and food at the headquarters, and I am waiting for you to come back and take care of you.  " "Then what are you waiting for? We won't come home until we get drunk tonight!  "Zhang Xinghan is also in a good mood at the moment. The battle against Goryeo has ended successfully. The Northeast Frontier Defense Force will usher in a period of relative stability. He can devote himself wholeheartedly to the economic, agricultural and industrial development and construction of the Northeast region, and expand the army.  When they returned to the headquarters by car, Zang Shiyi had indeed prepared quite a sumptuous meal. During the expedition, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others had basically not eaten much decent food. Suddenly, they had a great appetite and drank happily.  Enjoy the meal. This meal is almost the most enjoyable one Zhang Xinghan has had since he came to this world. Except for Jiang Baili who was very drunk and Shen Xingye who shouldered the heavy responsibility, Zhang Xinghan, Zang Shiyi and the staff accompanying him were all drunk.  Drunk. Early the next morning, the dazzling sunlight shone in from the window. Zhang Xinghan woke up from his deep sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes were hurt by the sunlight. He instinctively raised his hand to cover his ears.  Familiar voice: "Xinghan, are you awake?  " "Wife?  Why are you here?  "As soon as Zhang Xinghan heard Wang Ruoying's sweet voice, he sat up with joy, looked up, and saw that he was indeed still in the single bedroom of the headquarters, not at home, and asked. Wang Ruoying's beautiful face showed a smile  With a seductive blush, he lowered his head and said: "What are you talking about? You drank too much last night and kept shouting for a wife. Battalion Commander Shen and Chief of Staff Jiang had no choice but to send Battalion Commander Shen in person.  Go and pick me up at home.  "    "ah?  "Zhang Xinghan's surprised mouth could almost fit a duck egg in, "Me?  Am I talking in my sleep?  " Wang Ruoying rolled her eyes at him shyly, and murmured softly: "Not only did she talk in her sleep, but she also" "What else happened?  "Zhang Xinghan saw that she was hesitant to speak, with a shy and lovely look on her face, so he couldn't help but asked curiously. "I asked someone to give it to you, to give you that, saying that last time last time it was very comfortable oh, it was really  So shameful.  "Wang Ruoying couldn't help covering her face with her hands and stamping her feet, she looked as cute as a little girl. "Uh!  "Zhang Xinghan has a black line, what's wrong with me? Although I have been holding back this expedition for almost half a month, it's not like this, right? "Is it really that it was so good last time? Thinking of Wang Ruoying and myself before the last expedition  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help feeling hot in his stomach because of the charming things he did in the evening. He looked up at Wang Ruoying with fiery eyes. The two had been together for a long time. Seeing Zhang Xinghan's appearance, Wang Ruoying obviously guessed what he was thinking at this time and blushed.  He made a face and said: "Not now, you are so dirty, go take a bath and have a good breakfast. You vomited a lot last night, you must be very hungry now, right?"  " After Wang Ruoying said this, the hunger in Zhang Xinghan's belly really appeared, and his desire disappeared instantly. He got out of bed and put on his shoes and said: "Don't mention it, I'm really hungry. Is there anything to eat?  " "Go and wash up first!  "Wang Ruoying saw that he was like a child, but he was still a high-spirited and calm general on the battlefield, and couldn't help but chuckled. "Oh.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded suddenly. Just when he was about to fetch face wash, he saw a face plate filled with water and even toothpaste placed on a wooden box behind the door of the house. Zhang Xinghan was so moved that he turned around and kissed Wang Ruoying's cheek.  After asking, he thanked him and started to wash up. After washing up, he and Wang Ruoying came to the headquarters hall. This is where Zhang Xinghan holds meetings and where he usually eats. Jiang Baili and others were already there before Zhang Xinghan came.  When they saw Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and Shen Xingye couldn't help but laugh secretly. Zhang Xinghan didn't care and said hello with a smile: "Chief of Staff, it's so early.  " "Commander, morning.  "Jiang Baili and Shen Xingye held back their laughter. After breakfast, Zhang Xinghan asked Wang RuoHe went back first and said that he would go home and take a shower in the evening, while he stayed to discuss government and military issues with Jiang Baili and others.  Unexpectedly, just as Wang Ruoying left, Jiang Baili, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't help laughing: "Commander, I really didn't see that Commander Zhang, who makes the enemy frightened, has such a cute side." "Chief of Staff, I want to laugh.  Just laugh, don't hold it back, who hasn't done anything embarrassing yet?" Zhang Xinghan smiled nonchalantly: "Don't take your words seriously, don't take them seriously!" "Commander, as the saying goes, you speak the truth when you're drunk!"  Jiang Baili smiled very shamelessly.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.

    Not long after, Zang Shiyi was ordered to arrive at the headquarters. This old boy had drunk a lot last night. He was walking a little sluggishly and had a tired look on his face. It was obvious that he had arrived not long after he got up.  "Commander, Chief of Staff, I'm really sorry. I drank a little too much last night, overslept, and came in late. Don't blame me, don't blame me!" Zang Shiyi said a little embarrassed.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late. We have just had breakfast. By the way, Minister Zang, have you eaten? If not, you can eat here." Zang Shiyi touched his belly and said shyly  "To tell you the truth, I came to my humble job in such a hurry that I didn't have time to eat the breakfast cooked by my mother-in-law." "Eat, don't be polite, let's discuss it while eating." Zhang Xinghan pushed the porridge and steamed buns to him  .  "Hey!" Zang Shiyi nodded gratefully, picked up the porridge, took the steamed buns, and started eating without any image.  "Minister Zang, during our army's expedition to Goryeo, everything in Northeast China was relatively stable, right? Especially in the border areas with the Russians, did anything happen?" Zhang Xinghan leisurely lit a cigarette and puffed away the smoke.  asked.  Zang Shiyi quickly replied: "Everything is relatively stable. This is thanks to our anti-bandit operations some time ago, which eliminated banditry in various provinces and counties. The public security situation has never been so good. It is precisely because of this that the people are extremely supportive.  It will be much smoother for us to raise military provisions and supply the army for the expedition. "Zhang Xinghan nodded. Suppressing bandits has always been a matter of benefit to the country and the people. If we want long-term peace and stability, the security under our rule is very important.  If people’s lives and property are always under threat and they have too much time to take care of themselves, how can they have the energy to take care of the government’s recruitment?  Zang Shiyi took a big sip of porridge and continued: "As for the border area, many Lao Maozi's agents sneaked in and tried to get information, but they were all caught by Battalion Commander Shen's people. Battalion Commander Shen knows this best.  "Other than that, there is nothing major." Shen Xingye on the side smiled and nodded: "This is indeed true. During this period, our reconnaissance battalion caught no less than a hundred suspicious people on the Heilongjiang border.  After interrogation, most of them were Chinese spies who were bribed and trained by Lao Maozi. "Well, they did a good job. This base's anti-infiltration reconnaissance battalion did a good job." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction.  The establishment of the special agent organization is really wise. Whether it is spying on military intelligence or investigating food crisis incidents, the reconnaissance battalion plays a great role.  After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xinghan said to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, in view of the outstanding performance of the reconnaissance camp in the past few years, I have decided that from now on, the reconnaissance camp will be officially renamed the Secret Bureau of the Three Northeast Provinces, and you will be the director. Your title is Major General!  " Shen Xingye was immediately excited when he heard this. His secret service organization has always been a reconnaissance battalion. Everyone knows that they are secret agents. Everyone, including him, wants to have a professional title that truly belongs to them.  An institution, a tangible identity.  And this Secrecy Bureau is simply perfect.  .  "Thank you very much for your love, sir. All members of the Secrecy Bureau, including those of humble rank, will swear to be loyal to you to the death!" Shen Xingye immediately saluted and said.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "Yizhi, in addition to continuing to recruit and expand your own strength, your Secrecy Bureau's current priority is to pay more attention to one thing." "Commander, please give me your instructions." Shen Xingye bowed his head respectfully.  "In our newly established Longxing Military Academy, Fertilizer Factory, and Arsenal, especially the Military Academy, every batch of students must have someone from your Security Bureau. This is an important group for your development. They will be the backbone of the army in the future.  , It is extremely important to always grasp their political thoughts, personality characteristics, etc.," Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully.  Zhang Xinghan’s arrangement is absolutely correct. Now that the first phase of Longxing Military Academy has been opened, these graduating students will definitely become the mainstay of the new generation of the Northeast Army in time. It is absolutely correct to keep them firmly in your hands.  Shen Xingye nodded knowingly and said: "Yes, I understand the humble position." After waving his hand to signal Shen Xingye to leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Zang Shiyi, who had already finished breakfast: "Minister Zang, from today on, your official position is our Northeast Frontier Defense  "He is the head of the Army Logistics Department." "Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your cultivation. Zang Mou will do his best to live up to your high expectations!" Zang Shiyi also stood up in surprise.  "Okay, Minister Zang's hard work and dedication in the past two years have been witnessed by all of us. You are well-deserved as the head of the logistics department!" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and asked him to sit down and asked: "How are the people's autumn planting situation?  "Reply to the Commander-in-Chief," Zang Shiyi said quickly.Most of the summer grains in 2019 have been harvested. After harvesting the summer grains, most people have started planting in autumn. Yongji County, as our chemical fertilizer pilot planting area, has started planting with chemical fertilizers for the second time under the leadership of the local county magistrate.  " "So what is the grain output in Yongji County this year?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "The weather is good, so it's not bad, but the foreign technicians from the fertilizer factory said that our land here has never used chemical fertilizers, and the first phase effect may not be as good as expected.  "Zang Shiyi said. "As long as the output can be increased, we really can't rush this.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked, "What about the brewery?"  Has it been built? And what is the current output of the fertilizer plant?  Zang Shiyi shook his head and said: "The brewery is still under preparation. The main reason is that food is still relatively tight in our Northeast region. Basically, the excess food is used by us as military ration. It is difficult for the brewery to purchase food, so  The launch of production has been temporarily postponed.  As for the fertilizer factory, the output must have increased to a certain extent. Currently, there are no less than 1,000 tons of chemical fertilizers in stock, which will be sold on a large scale to farmers in the four northeastern provinces next year.  " "Well, in a few days, my main force of 100,000 will be back and take over the garrison tasks in various places again. The border defense tasks in Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places will be handed over to them. All the 100,000 militia reserves will be withdrawn to the hinterland of our four eastern provinces.  A large-scale military training, train them into real second-line troops as soon as possible, and prepare for the next expansion of our Northeast Border Guard Army!  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered. "Yes.  "Zang Shiyi nodded and wrote them down one by one. "Okay, I have nothing to do without you, you can go and do your work.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said. "I will resign from my humble position.  "Zang Shiyi lowered his head respectfully and turned to leave. After watching Zang Shiyi leave, Jiang Baili, who had said nothing just now, said: "Commander, we have won such a great victory this time. Do we need to send a message to the Nanjing National Government to report the victory?  Down?  By the way, it is also a good way to publicize the glorious military exploits of our army and make the Chinese people happy.  " "It's important to send a message to report victory. No matter what, we are now under the jurisdiction of the National Government. We still have to do face-saving work. Chief of Staff, you can handle it."  Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "But Chief of Staff, I have something to discuss with you right now."  "Jiang Baili said: "Commander, please tell me.  "Chief of Staff, through the Battle of Goryeo, have you discovered the current shortcomings of our army?"  "Zhang Xinghan asked meaningfully. Jiang Baili fell into deep thought after hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Our army and air force are now quite strong. The continuous defeat of the Japanese and Soviet armies is the best evidence. To talk about our shortcomings,  Where, that should be the naval power!  " Zhang Xinghan patted the table and said: "Yes, it is the navy. Since the Age of Discovery, sea control has been a powerful armed force necessary for a country to win modern wars and safeguard national interests and national dignity.  It is a pity that the Manchu and Qing government was incompetent. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Beiyang Navy, known as the best in Asia, was completely wiped out. Since then, China’s tens of thousands of miles of coastline has lost its protection and has been left to the mercy of the great powers.  Slaughter the fish.  Without a navy, safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is an empty talk, because our Chinese nation’s territory is not limited to land, we also have millions of square kilometers of maritime territory.  “So, we must have a navy!” “The commander plans to form a navy?  "Jiang Baili asked with a frown. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, a navy must be established, and it should be done without further delay. We need to implement the future war against Japan as soon as possible. The navy is indispensable to us!  " "But, Commander, setting up a navy is much more expensive than setting up an army. It not only requires warships, but also related naval talents. These all require money. With the current financial situation in our Northeast region, is it possible?  Those who may be able to form a real navy can at best imitate the Feng clique warlords and build a few river defense armies!  "Jiang Baili said with a worried look. "Money, this is not a problem.  Zhang Xinghan said with a mysterious smile: "What we lack now is naval talents, but I have an idea. We can recruit recruits who are familiar with water in the three northeastern provinces, especially veterans of the original border defense force of the Northeast Army. As long as they are  Anyone who has been a sailor, young or old, is welcome.  "The old ones can't fight, but they have rich experience and can pass on their experience to the new recruits.  " "If there are sufficient funds.  "Jiang Baili said: "You can indeed try it. Not only recruiting new soldiers, there will definitely be many people in our army's more than 200,000 main force who are sailors. We can choose the best. At the same time, we can also hire them at a high price.  There are some foreign retired naval officers. As the maritime overlord, the British have?There should be many retired Navy personnel, right?  Commander, you can take Miss Alice's route.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded: "Well, I will find a way to recruit sailors. You and Minister Zang can cooperate and do it together.  "(To be continued.) ∷Update quickly∷∷Pure text∷

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 351: Shameless Zhang Xinghan

    "Okay, I will consult with Minister Zang and get it done as soon as possible." Jiang Baili nodded and responded.  "Well." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said, "Chief of Staff, please be busy first, I'll go out to do some errands." After bidding farewell to Jiang Baili, Zhang Xinghan drove Guo Zhong out of the headquarters and headed straight for the fertilizer plant.  Driving to the vicinity of the fertilizer factory, Zhang Xinghan found the factory director David.  David was wearing a white work clothes and was working. Zhang Xinghan stood outside his office and knocked on the door.  "Come in!" David said without raising his head.  Zhang Xinghan pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Hi, Mr. David, how are you doing lately?" When David saw it was Zhang Xinghan, he stood up in surprise and greeted him. He shook hands with Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, why are you here?  "I'm doing well recently, how about you?" Zhang Xinghan smiled and said, "I'm doing well too. Are you used to working in China?" David smiled and replied, "Well, the people here are very good.  They are very kind and enthusiastic, and the workers are also very hard-working. I have already fallen in love with this place. If you allow it, Commander-in-Chief, I would like to bring my wife and my children to live in China!" "Really? I welcome this with both hands.  ! If they really come, I will treat you to dinner!" Zhang Xinghan was very happy when he heard this. As long as you like it here, I will welcome all of you foreigners to move here, so that you can take root in the Northeast.  You have served me for a long time, even though you are paid a lot of salary.  But the value you have created is simply too great.  "Really? Thank you so much, Commander-in-Chief Zhang! I want to thank you on behalf of my wife and children. You are such a kind person!" David immediately beamed after hearing this, very happy.  Am I kind?  Zhang Xinghan asked himself speechlessly.  "By the way, Mr. David, why haven't you seen Miss Alice? Where has she gone?" Zhang Xinghan explained his purpose.  "Oh, you said Miss Alice, she went to the brewery, and she has been helping you establish the brewery recently." David told the truth.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "I have something to do with Miss Alice. Let's go ahead. I'll go find her. When I have time, I'll treat you to dinner. Remember to bring your wife and children." "  Thank you, thank you!" David thanked him happily. This famous Chinese general was so approachable.  I really didn’t expect it.  Zhang Xinghan left the fertilizer factory and drove straight to the brewery.  The brewery is not far from the fertilizer factory. They are both built in the Longtan area. Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong and others just got out of the car and saw a hot figure busy on the construction site.  She put on a safety helmet on her head and put on work clothes.  The loose work clothes covered up her hot and charming body.  "Alice!" Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and greeted with a smile.  After hearing this, Alice turned around quickly and when she saw Zhang Xinghan, she immediately ran over excitedly: "Oh my god, am I not dreaming? Xinghan, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month, right? Are you talking about it?"  Are you back after the battle? " "Yes, just came back." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "I went to your headquarters yesterday to inquire. They said that your troops had a great victory and were on their way back. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." Alice said with some surprise.  When I came back by plane, no one else knew about it except Zang Shiyi and others, and Alice was naturally among them.  "How's it going? Did you defeat the Japanese this time?" Alice asked eagerly.  "Yes, my army defeated them. However, due to some reasons, they were unable to annihilate them all. They still allowed them to escape from the sea. They may come back at any time, and the people of Goryeo will probably suffer war again!" Zhang Xinghan  Pretending to look regretful and lost.  "Oh, dear, you and your army are so powerful. How could you let those hateful Japanese escape?" Alice asked without knowing why. Little did she know that Zhang Xinghan was digging a hole for her, waiting for her to jump down.  .  Zhang Xinghan shamelessly pretended to be pitiful and said: "There is no way, my army does not have a navy. The Japanese have a huge combined naval fleet. Without a navy, they have no sea control. I can't stop them from retreating." "You too.  You know, in modern warfare, without sea control, we will be passive everywhere. China has tens of thousands of miles of coastline. The enemy has a navy and can invade our country from any place at any time," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then why don't you form your own navy? Now even the Japanese have a very powerful navy. How can you, China, be so big and not have your own navy?" Alice jumped into the trap consciously.  &nbsp; Zhang Xinghan continued shamelessly: "It's not that I don't want to form a navy, it's because we lack experienced naval instructors and money!" Seeing the disappointment on her lover's face, Alice bit her lip and said, "Xinghan,  Don't be discouraged. I think I can help you with the establishment of the navy. " "You help me?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head like a rattle and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, you have already helped to build the fertilizer plant and brewery.  You have hurt me a lot. I can't accept your help anymore, otherwise I will feel uneasy with my conscience." Seeing that he was unwilling to accept it, Alice hurriedly said: "Xinghan, don't do this, I love you, I love you deeply.  Looking at you, you have saved my life. It is only natural that I help you, and it is also something I do willingly. You don’t have to feel guilty, let alone have any idea of ????owing me anything. It’s all of my own free will.” “Ellie.  Si, you are truly the best woman in the world to me." Zhang Xinghan squeezed out a few tears and held her hot body in his arms.  "My life already belongs to you, so the entire Max family also belongs to you, but not now." Alice snuggled into his arms and said with an expression.  "Alice, you've been so kind to me, and I really can't repay you!" Zhang Xinghan hugged her tightly and said.  "Who said you can't repay him?" Alice playfully stretched her little hand underneath him.  Through his pants, Zhang Xinghan could feel the stimulating pleasure coming from the catkins, and he couldn't help but cry out.  This Western girl is really bold and hot.  "Alice, how can you help me? Building a navy requires many experienced navy veterans to serve as instructors!" Zhang Xinghan said confused.  Alice smiled and said: "Dear, have you forgotten that our British Empire has the largest naval fleet in the world? Our country has too many retired veterans who have retired from the navy but are running around for a living. If given  They have a high-paying job, a job that allows them to return to the navy. I think even if this job is in China, they should be looking forward to it, right? " "What do you mean?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized,  She hugged Alice with joy and said, "My dear, I really love you to death!" "You can't just say it with your mouth." Alice winked playfully and licked her lips lightly with her tongue on purpose.  Down below, her eyes are as charming as silk, just like a charming little fox.  Zhang Xinghan didn't understand why Yu Huo, who had been holding it in for half a month, was stirred up. He pulled Alice and went into the woods nearby.  Guo Zhong and others were loyal and took the initiative to be on guard outside.  After a while, you can hear the clothes falling apart in the woods, and then Alice lets out a seductive moan: "Oh! Oh! My dear, youyou are so amazing, I love you to death!" Zhang Xinghan  She couldn't help but let out a low roar, and couldn't help but slap the two plump buttocks that were as good as a millstone with both hands.  After Alice solved the problem of naval instructors, Zhang Xinghan and her talked about it and returned to the headquarters with satisfaction.  After returning to the headquarters, he went to his house alone and took out the multi-functional watch that had created too many miracles for him.  Opening the game and entering the military production page, Zhang Xinghan easily found the navy’s exclusive page.  On the menu, there are a variety of cruisers, battleships, destroyers, large and small gunboats, transport ships and aircraft carriers.  After carefully looking at the price of the appeal warship, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but take a breath of air.  The kill value required by a 10,000-ton cruiser is enough to exchange for a division of infantry equipment.  However, Zhang Xinghan felt relieved when he thought about the firepower that a cruiser could exert if placed on land. It was indeed no weaker than a Type B division.  A 10,000-ton cruiser is equipped with 16 cannons with a caliber of over 200 millimeters and dozens of cannons with a caliber of 70 to more than 100 millimeters. In addition, there are 40 millimeter rapid-fire cannons dedicated to air defense.  The combined firepower is indeed beyond what a Class B division can match.  It is said that the navy is a money-consuming beast. Zhang Xinghan browsed the navy equipment menu and finally had a profound understanding.  Fortunately, by sending troops to North Korea this time, I eliminated more than 200,000 Japanese puppet troops and earned a considerable amount of enemy kill points. It is no problem to purchase a few aircraft carriers or dozens of cruisers.  But if you want to form a complete aircraft carrier battle group, the enemy kill value is slightly insufficient.  It seems that the war must continue, otherwise the formation of the navy and the formation of combat effectiveness will be far away.  Started the production of a 50,000-ton aircraft carrierOn the page, enter the detailed menu, which indicates the conditions required for production. You must choose a suitable port, otherwise the aircraft carrier may fall directly to the ground.  In this era, if an aircraft carrier lands on land, no country has the ability to get it back into the sea, except of course to break it up.  "Navy, my navy, it seems that we must quickly ask Alice to send a telegram to her hometown in England, get naval instructors as soon as possible, and strive to set up our own navy within a year!" Zhang Xinghan looked at the warships one after another.  Slobber.  With the navy, landing in Japan and seizing hegemony in Northeast Asia is just around the corner!  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 352: Eyes on Pingjin

    After spending a long time in the bedroom of the headquarters, thinking about all the warships of various models and tonnage in the navy, Zhang Xinghan looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had set.  Then he got up and walked out of the headquarters. Under the escort of Guo Zhong and others, he took a car to his home.  Before he reached the door of his home, Zhang Xinghan saw from a distance a beautiful figure standing at the door eagerly looking forward to him. When he saw the car he was riding in, he immediately waved his hand vigorously in this direction with joy.  The car drove to the door of his house. As soon as Zhang Xinghan opened the door, Wang Ruoying came over with a happy face.  "Why are you waiting for me at the door?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.  "My mother and Sister-in-law Zhou knew that you were coming to make dumplings. I saw that it was almost time, so they went to the door to wait for you. I didn't expect you to actually come." Wang Ruoying said with a happy face.  "Are there any dumplings to eat tonight?" Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed. He had been in this world for so long, and it seemed that he had never eaten dumplings. It wasn't that he couldn't afford them, but he had been busy with the military and had no time or opportunity to eat them.  "Well, Sister-in-law Zhou and my mother made a lot of buns, including ones stuffed with pork and celery, and ones stuffed with chives. We are all in luck!" Wang Ruoying held his arm and said with a smile.  While the two were talking, they had already walked into their own yard and were busy talking to Wang Ruoying. Zhang Xinghan even forgot to pay attention to the salute from the guard at the door.  As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my mother Liu Liping and Sister-in-law Zhou coming out of the kitchen.  "Xinghan, you are back!" Liu Liping said happily.  "Well, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded in greeting: "Mom, Sister-in-law Zhou, are you all okay?" "Everyone is fine, everything is fine!" Liu Liping and Sister-in-law Zhou nodded, and Liu Liping turned her head and shouted into the room:  "Master, Xinghan is back." Not long after, Zhang Yuxi was seen happily walking out of the main room with a tobacco bag.  "Dad, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and said with a smile.  "It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back. When your mother and Sister-in-law Zhou heard that Ruoying said you were coming back tonight, they started making dumplings for you, saying they wanted you to have a good meal!" Zhang Yuxi nodded and looked at her son.  , said happily: "Eating will have to wait a while, come on, come in and play two games of chess with dad." "Dad, Xinghan has been fighting outside for days, so let him take a bath first." Wang Ruoying said.  "Take a bath?" Zhang Yuxi quickly clicked the picture with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, then you can take a shower first." At this time, Zhang Xinghan's house did not have a bathtub, but there was a bathtub. Wang Ruoying and Sister Zhou had already helped to burn it.  Okay, hot water.  Fill the tub full.  In Wang Ruoying's room, Zhang Xinghan stood next to the bathtub and stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. He smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, just right. Thank you for your hard work, wife!" "It's what I should do to boil some bath water for you. You are out all the time.  Battle, what are these?" Wang Ruoying came over and hugged Zhang Xinghan from behind.  Leaning on his soft and tender road northward.  Zhang Xinghan swayed her smooth arms, turned around and hugged her and said, "Wife, you are so kind!" Wang Ruoying noticed the heat in his eyes, lowered her head hurriedly, and said with a blushing face: "Let me help you take off your clothes."  Zhang Xinghan said nothing and let his little hands strip him naked, and then jumped into the bathtub while she was blushing.  When I first entered the bathtub, the water was a little hot.  However, within a short period of time, my whole body felt extremely comfortable, and countless pores were opened.  A pair of soft and smooth hands put on his shoulders and kneaded them gently.  Commander-in-Chief Zhang closed his eyes comfortably, soaked in the hot bath, and was massaged by his beautiful wife. It felt so comfortable.  "Wife!" "Huh?" "I haven't seen you in so many days. Do you miss me?" Wang Ruoying's cheeks were hot and she whispered: "Of course I have." "Where are you?" Zhang Xinghan said with a smirk.  .  "I hate it!" Wang Ruoying pinched his waist gently and urged: "Wash quickly, the water will get cold later and you will catch a cold!" After taking a bath.  After putting on clean clothes, Zhang Xinghan felt refreshed.  After Wang Ruoying tidied up, Mrs. Zhou's shout came from the yard: "Xinghan, Ruoying, dinner is ready!" "Oh, here it comes." Wang Ruoying responded, turned around and sat on the bed, smoking and closing her eyes.  Zhang Xinghan, who was resting, said: "Xinghan, let's go have a meal." "Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked to the main room with Wang Ruoying.  At this time, Mrs. Zhou and her mother Liu Liping had already cooked plates of dumplings and served them on the table. As soon as Zhang Xinghan walked in, three little guys gathered around him.  &nbsp; "Godfather, godmother." Huzi took the lead.  "Well, Hu Zi, long time no see!" Zhang Xinghan affectionately stroked the little heads of the three Hu Zi sisters and said with a smile, "Why didn't I see you just now?" Sister-in-law Zhou smiled at the side and said, "The three of them went just now  School is in session and it has just ended. "Oh, let's eat quickly. It won't taste good after a while." Zhang Xinghan hugged the youngest and asked him to sit down.  Everyone sat down. The three Huzi sisters were very sensible and good at talking, so they had a good time eating as a family.  In today’s turbulent era, it is also a very happy thing to eat dumplings with your family, which symbolizes reunion.  After dinner, Zhang Xinghan played a few games of chess with his father Zhang Yuxi and chatted.  Then she took Wang Ruoying back to her room. As soon as she entered the door, Wang Ruoying bolted the door with a shy face.  Zhang Xinghan had been running around for a day, and he felt sleepy just after taking a shower. Now that he was full of wine and food, he played chess again and used his brain too much, and he felt sleepy like a tide.  Sitting on the bed, I started to take off my clothes and get ready for bed.  Wang Ruoying saw him hurriedly taking off his clothes, his cheeks were red, and he walked over and said coquettishly in a low voice: "Why are you in such a hurry? I know you have been working very hard these days, and I will definitely satisfy you tonight." Wang Ruoying squatted down after saying that.  In front of him, her white little hands stretched out to his crotch.  Zhang Xinghan was so frightened that his face turned green. During the day, he and Alice got carried away in the woods and ejaculated three times. The fire that had been held in for more than half a month had already poured out completely.  Are you coming now?  Although my wife's skills are getting better and better, can't a tough guy withstand such consumption?  "Well, Ruoying, you are tired today, so go to bed early." Zhang Xinghan didn't know how to stop her action, and said with a guilty conscience.  These words sounded different to Wang Ruoying's ears, thinking that he felt sorry for her and cared about her.  Wang Ruoying said with blushing cheeks: "It's okay, I'm not tired, I can do it." While speaking, a catkin caught Zhang Xinghan's little brother, opened his mouth slightly and lowered his head.  Zhang Xinghan's eyes widened immediately. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and let out an uncontrollable sound: "Oh, ow!" He was defeated by Wang Ruoying three times. In order to let him vent, Wang Ruoying helped him up for the fourth time.  Little brother Zhang.  Seeing that she was still coming, Zhang Xinghan, who was almost exhausted, quickly stopped him and said: "Wife, wife, that's enough. It's really enough. You're tired too. Come up and sleep quickly." After saying that, he dragged his tired arms and gently  He brushed a few strands of sweat-soaked hair from Wang Ruoying's forehead.  "Do you really not want it? I remember that one night you asked for one pill six times!" Wang Ruoying raised her head seriously and said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "No need, really, I am really satisfied today!" "Oh." Wang Ruoying then wiped the sweat from her forehead, took off her clothes and went to bed.  , got into Zhang Xinghan's arms.  Just when I wanted to say a few quiet words of love to him, I found that Zhang Xinghan had already fallen asleep and was snoring weakly.  There was a proud and happy smile at the corner of her mouth, and she fell asleep lying in Zhang Xinghan's arms.  The next day, Zhang Xinghan slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up leisurely. When he put on his clothes, Wang Ruoying saw that he was a little dazed when walking, and asked strangely: "Xinghan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" How dare Zhang Xinghan tell the truth?  He quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, I'm fine." He had been running long distances for more than ten days in a row. Although he had endured a lot of pain, his body was also quite exhausted.  “Within a few hours apart, six times in a row, my iron-clad body couldn’t bear it.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sighed secretly: Hey, man, you can't be half-hearted, this retribution comes so fast!  After having breakfast at home, Zhang Xinghan took Guo Zhong back to the headquarters.  As soon as he entered the headquarters, Jiang Baili came up to him and said to Zhang Xinghan with a smile: "Commander, why are you here so late today? It seems that you are too happy to miss Shu!" Zhang Xinghan complained secretly, smiled bitterly, and said: "I was busy last night.  It was quite late, so I got up late. By the way, how is the recruitment of navy recruits going? " Jiang Baili nodded clearly and said, "I discussed it with Minister Zang yesterday, and we have basically finalized the recruitment methods and procedures.  The message will be printed and distributed as long as you nod. "Well, you can just take care of this." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  “Commander, our four northeastern provinces have vast territory, rich resources, and rich people.The concentration of soldiers is not a problem, but the funds needed to purchase warships and the experienced retired navy, you'd better solve it quickly, otherwise, when new recruits are recruited, there are no warships and instructors, so it won't delay things!  "Jiang Baili said. Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will finish this matter for him today, but chief of staff, we'd better take down Pingjin.  "    "What?  "Jiang Baili was caught off guard. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing's Chinese was amazing, and he said in surprise: "Commander, what did you just say?  " "I said, we have to take down Pingjin.  " Zhang Xinghan repeated. "Why would the commander suddenly want to use troops against Pingjin?  "Jiang Baili was a little puzzled. "Because we need the Pingjin area, which is not only a strategic chokepoint in North China, but also the political and economic center of North China. Tianjin Port is extremely prosperous, which is very conducive to us doing business with foreigners.  "Zhang Xinghan said. (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 353: For the Great Northwest

    "But, Commander, our army has just experienced the Battle of the Goryeo Peninsula. Nearly half of the main force is stationed in Goryeo, and the remaining troops are in urgent need of rest and replenishment. Furthermore, there are hundreds of thousands of Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army in the Pingjin area.  It's not that easy to win," Jiang Baili said hesitantly.  "No matter how big Nandu is, we must win it. The Ping-Tianjin area must be captured." Zhang Xinghan said resolutely.  This is the decision he came up with yesterday. First of all, building a navy requires a lot of enemy kill points, and his current enemy kill points are not very generous.  Zhang Xinghan set his sights on starting a war at Pingjin. Taking Pingjin was only part of his plan. His ultimate goal was the five northwest provinces.  But before the strategic plan to conquer the five northwest provinces is implemented, the hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops entrenched in the Ping-Tianjin area are currently the only force that can threaten the Northeastern border defense forces.  Therefore, this force must be eliminated. The most important thing is that Zhang Xinghan still values ????the hundreds of thousands of new Northeastern troops.  They are basically all well-trained veterans. It is a waste to put such a good source of troops in the hands of that useless Zhang Xiaoliu.  Furthermore, as he said, Pingjin is the political and economic center of North China. After being captured, it will have many benefits for the future development of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  From a military point of view, the Pingjin area and Jehol Province echo each other and support each other. They can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. They can also serve as a strategic buffer zone for the Northeast region towards the pass.  "Zhongzi, go and call Director Shen." Zhang Xinghan did not rush to state the pros and cons to Jiang Baili, but waved his hand to Guo Zhong and ordered.  "Yes." Guo Zhong bowed his head and responded, turned around and took the order to leave.  Not long after, Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye walked in hand in hand.  Shen Xingye stood up and saluted the two of them: "Commander, Chief of Staff, what are your instructions for finding a humble position?" "Yizhi, has there been any valuable news recently in the direction of the pass, especially in the Pingjin area?" Zhang Xinghan smiled.  asked.  "Valuable news?" Shen Xingye was a little surprised, thought for a while and said: "If it is valuable, I don't know if Zhang Xueliang resigned and went abroad to travel in Europe." "What? Marshal Zhang resigned and went abroad?" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili  They were all taken aback.  Shen Xingye nodded and said: "This is the latest news I got last night. Marshal Zhang issued a telegram statement yesterday to resign as deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Army, Navy and Air Force. He officially stepped down and took Miss Zhao Si abroad for inspection in Europe.  It's called an inspection, but it's actually just for fun. "Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but said, "This prodigal thing has the intention of traveling abroad with his mistress?" "Commander, what is a mistress?  Somewhat confused, he said: "Is it the second young lady?" "Well." Zhang Xinghan said with a black line on his head and a haha ??knife: "It's nothing, I just said it casually." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the map to look at it.  Take a look.  Turning to Jiang Baili, he said: "Chief of Staff, do you think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us?" Jiang Baili naturally knew what he meant, and nodded unequivocally: "Zhang Xueliang is going abroad at this time.  According to the inspection, theoretically, the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area is leaderless, which is indeed a good opportunity for us. " "Then why are we hesitating? Can we send troops to Shanhaiguan?" Zhang Xinghan said impatiently.  "Commander. I always feel that this is a bit risky." Jiang Baili frowned.  "Oh? Tell me." Zhang Xinghan became interested and wanted to hear Jiang Baili's opinion.  Jiang Baili did not show any pretense, and immediately pointed to the map and said: "Commander, look at the situation in this pass. Except for Rehe, which is occupied by us, on the North China Plain, there is Han Fuqu's Shandong Army in Shandong, and there is Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army in Suiyuan, Shanxi.  Chahar has the old Northwest Army such as Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying, and the three remnants of Shiyou, the Central Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Northeast Army are all over the territory of Hebei Province.  Ah!" Jiang Baili paused and continued: "Here, the Shanxi Jinsui Army and the Northeastern Army in the Pingjin area are the most powerful. Now that the Northeastern Army in the pass is leaderless, it is indeed a good time for us to eliminate them and seize Pingjin.  However, once our army captures Pingjin and becomes powerful to a certain extent, will Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and others who have enmity with us join forces to deal with us?  , just imagine if the Northeast Army was defeated by all of usannexed.  Who can guarantee that they won’t be next?  Under such a deterrent, they are likely to form a group to deal with them, just like the Feng clan warlords back then. The weakest thing in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and it is the same principle to kill the first bird with a gun!  "After Zhang Xinghan listened, he smiled slightly and said: "What the chief of staff said makes sense, do you have any good ideas?  " "The best way is that we give up the plan to attack the pass, manage our current territory well, develop steadily, and then make plans after the situation in the pass changes.  " Jiang Baili said. Zhang Xinghan immediately shook his head and said: "No, I can't afford to wait. If you want to build a navy, you must win Pingjin.  " Jiang Baili looked at him confused and asked doubtfully: "Commander, Baili doesn't understand, what does our capture of Pingjin have to do with the establishment of a navy?  " "You don't need to know this for the time being, it's important anyway.  Zhang Xinghan was about to spill the beans and changed the subject: "Chief of Staff, in the past I was able to defeat Zhang Xueliang's 100,000 troops in frontal combat with 30,000 troops."  "Today I won't be afraid of the princes in Guan. I have decided on Pingjin. If anyone has any objections, feel free to come over. I'm not afraid of the Japanese or Lao Maozi. Am I afraid of local warlords like them?"  " Jiang Baili nodded silently and said: "Since Commander, you insist on fighting, please give the order.  " Sensing the slight disappointment in Jiang Baili's eyes, Zhang Xinghan explained: "Chief of Staff, whether it was right or wrong to capture Pingjin will be known later. Don't worry, I am not complacent or arrogant just because I won a few battles.  I have my own considerations, everything. When I win Pingjin, you will understand.  " Seeing Zhang Xinghan's sincerity, Jiang Baili's displeasure disappeared and he nodded: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that no matter what decision you make, Baili will support it unconditionally. I have absolute trust in you.  Zhang Xinghan patted his shoulder with some emotion and said: "Send electricity to Wang Yizhe. The 201st Division will be stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula and take over the defense of the 200th Division. The 200th Division will serve as the main force in attacking the pass and Shanhaiguan."  Liu Jianguo’s 203rd Division no longer needs to return to Liaoyang and advances directly to Jinzhou. As a second-echelon unit, Gao Chu’s 208th Division’s return route remains unchanged and returns to its original garrison in northern Manchuria to prevent the Russians.  The Second Tank Division and several anti-aircraft regiments were also incorporated into the Southward Army Corps, under the unified command of Huang Xiansheng, with Liu Jianguo as deputy commander-in-chief!  " "Commander, we only use two infantry divisions and one tank division with more than 50,000 troops. Is the strength enough?  "Jiang Baili said with some worry. "That's enough, Chief of Staff, what do you think of the Northeast Army's combat effectiveness compared to the Japanese?  "Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile. Jiang Baili shook his head: "There is a huge difference.  " "That's not right. Now that Zhang Xueliang has gone abroad again, the Northeastern Army in the Ping-Tianjin area is now at its lowest point, both in morale and in people's hearts, and at its most disorganized.  We can use 60,000 troops to deal with them, not to mention we have air force superiority. As long as the tank troops pass through Shanhaiguan, the North China Plain is thousands of miles away. Who can resist them?  "Zhang Xinghan said with confidence. "Well, that makes sense.  "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Commander, if our army only attacks from Shanhaiguan, then even if it successfully breaks through the Northeast Army's defense line, the Northeast Army will definitely retreat southward. In this way, even if we occupy the Pingjin area, we will still be unable to  Annihilate them all.  You must know that the hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops in the pass are the last elite in the hands of Marshal Zhang, and they are all veterans.  Once they flee south, they are likely to be absorbed and annexed by Yan Xishan, which would be a pity for us!  " Zhang Xinghan smiled when he heard this and said: "You are indeed the chief of staff, you know my heart well!  I have decided that I will personally lead the guard battalion and a reserve recruit division from Tongliao southward to Rehe, and reorganize the 210th Division as the second attack force to flank the Northeastern Army.  " "Commander-in-Chief, are you going to lead your army alone deep behind enemy lines again?  "Jiang Baili suddenly became anxious after hearing this: "This is really too dangerous. The situation in North China is complicated. If you are not careful, you may be in danger.  "Chief of Staff, you are worrying too much. Aren't you confident in my ability?"  I feel more comfortable commanding small groups of troops.  Zhang Xinghan said with a smile: "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in North China. I am somewhat looking forward to meeting these local warlords."  " "Okay, it's settled. You quickly send electricity to each division and convey the order.  "Zhang Xinghan made a decision. Seeing that Zhang Xinghan had made up his mind, Jiang Baili had no choice but to nod, no longer persuade, and turned around and walked towards the communication room. Zhang Xinghan's order was quickly conveyed. At this time, Wang Yizhe and Liu Jianguo had already separated from Gao Chu and others.  roadReturn all the way.  Wang Yizhe's 201st Division forward troops have arrived in Sinuiju.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, Wang Yizhe immediately ordered the troops to march quickly towards the Liaodong Peninsula.  At the same time, Huang Xiansheng also began to intensively mobilize and assemble troops.  After Zhang Xinghan arranged everything, he went to Alice again. After lingering with her for a while, he asked Alice to send a telegram to the country as soon as possible and arrange manpower to help hire retired naval officers and sailors.  After saying goodbye to Alice, Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion, transferred a newly formed reserve recruit division from Harbin, and quietly marched towards Rehe.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 354: Strategy for Pingjin (1)

    It took time for the new divisions to assemble and set off, so Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion to Jehol first.  Sabli, the commander of the 210th Reorganized Division, got the letter early and rushed to Chifeng with a cavalry battalion to greet him in person.  The entire guard battalion marched in a mechanized manner. After a day of rapid march, they arrived at Chifeng at sunset.  As soon as we arrived at Laoha River, we met the long-awaited Sabli and a cavalry battalion led by him.  Sabli's cavalrymen had already crossed the river. When they saw Zhang Xinghan, Sabli quickly dismounted and came to greet him.  "Commander, you have worked hard on your journey." When he came to the front, Sabli saluted respectfully.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, looked behind Sabuli and said: "Commander Sabuli, you came all the way from Chengde to greet him, that's the real hard work." "The commander is serious. It's appropriate to greet the commander-in-chief in a humble position. What's the point?  It's not hard work." Although Sabli said this, he was still very happy in his heart. The commander-in-chief is still the same as before, still so approachable and without any sense of arrogance.  After some polite exchanges, Zhang Xinghan and Sabli led their troops across the Liao River and entered Chifeng City.  Sabli had already arranged accommodation, food and drinks for Zhang Xinghan.  "Commander Sa, gather your troops as soon as possible. Except for some of them deployed to the Renan area to intimidate Sun Dianying and other troops in Chahar, the rest of the main force should be assembled as far as possible in the Redongnan area to prepare for emergencies."  After the meal, Zhang Xinghan said to Sabu while washing his feet and taking a rest.  Sabli nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Commander, please rest assured. I have ordered the main force of the division to secretly assemble in the direction of Chengde, and the deployment will be completed soon." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, and Sabli then handed over his hand and said: "  Commander, please rest first and resign." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and Sabuli said goodbye. At this time, the following new division was still on the way.  In the direction of Shanhaiguan, the handover and transformation between the reorganized 200th Division and the 201st and 202nd Divisions is still in progress, and it will take some time before the attack on Shanhaiguan is completed.  So he was not in a hurry and rushed all the way from Jilin to Chifeng. He walked hundreds of kilometers. Although he took a car, he was very tired.  Sabli’s arrangements were very thoughtful.  A nice room was arranged for him, and the bedding was all new, obviously just purchased.  They also prepared hot foot-washing water. For those who marched long distances, they could use hot water to soak their feet before resting to relax their muscles and activate blood circulation.  Relieving fatigue is very good for sleeping.  Because he was relatively tired, Zhang Xinghan fell asleep quickly. He slept for more than ten hours and did not wake up until around nine o'clock the next morning.  Sleeping until you wake up naturally is the most comfortable and comfortable thing, regardless of age.  Since Zhang Xinghan came to this world, he hasn’t slept much since he woke up naturally.  ??Wake up.  The energy is full, the physical fatigue is gone, and the whole person feels refreshed and comfortable.  After breakfast, Zhang Xinghan and Sabli started to go south with the guard battalion and cavalry battalion.  Since they were not in a hurry, they didn't walk very fast. Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to inspect the daily lives of the people along the way.  Although the war in Rehe has just ended, there is no harm from the war in the territory.  The people finally settled down and everything was slowly getting on track.  ……………… Dalian, the 200th Division troops in the Liaodong Peninsula area have completed their assembly, Zhao Zhenfan’s 201st Division’s leading troops have arrived, and the two sides immediately exchanged defenses.  Huang Xiansheng took the main force of the division and drove along the railway towards Jinzhou.  Two days later, the main force of the 200th Division was fully assembled and set off from Jinzhou.  Head towards Shanhaiguan along the Liaoxi Corridor.  At the same time, Liu Jianguo's 203rd Division also returned to the northeastern territory and rested along the railway directly to Jinzhou. It also served as a reserve echelon unit for the 200th Division.  More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Tank Division and three air defense regiments who returned home with the 203rd Division went south along the Liaoxi Corridor to Shanhaiguan non-stop.  Prepare to support the 200th Division in combat.  Although the operations of the Northeast Border Guard are highly confidential, they still attracted the attention of the Northeast Army outside the Pass.  At this time, Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si had gone abroad to Europe for inspection. The actual number one figure in the Northeast Army in the Ping-Tianjin area was Zhang Zuoxiang.  He basically has the final say on all matters, big and small, followed by Wan Fulin, He Zhuguo, Yu Xuezhong and others.  Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin were both brothers of Zhang Zuolin, the founder of the Fengcian warlord, and Zhang Zuoxiang had always been Zhang Zuolin's right-hand man and won Zhang Zuolin's trust.  Before leaving, Zhang Xueliang instructed him to move into the Marshal's Mansion to work.  This?In the Marshal's Mansion, the senior generals of the Northeast Army gathered together.  Zhang Zuoxiang said with a strong Northeastern accent: "Everyone, according to intelligence, there are obvious signs of mobilization of the Northeastern Border Guards outside the customs. Their target is probably Shanhaiguan." Chief of Staff Rong Jing was the first to answer: "Mr. Zhang,  Zhang Xinghan's troops have just finished the Korean War, does he still want to start a war with us? " Rong Jin's words expressed the aspirations of everyone present, including Zhang Zuoxiang.  Zhang Zuoxiang paused and said: "This is unknown for the time being, but for the sake of safety, I think we should make preparations in advance, just in case." "Old Zhang, Xiao Liuzi asked you to take charge before leaving, so you can  Just tell me what to do. Damn you, whoever dares to disobey me will be the first to fight him!" Wan Fulin, who was sitting on the right side of Zhang Zuoxiang, expressed his position.  With Wan Fulin taking the lead, He Zhuguo, Yu Xuezhong and other young officers also nodded in agreement.  Zhang Zuoxiang nodded slightly to thank his old brother Wan Fulin, and then issued a series of combat preparations to everyone.  When everyone left, only Wan Fulin stayed.  "Lao Wan, what do you think Zhang Xinghan wants to do? Will he really attack us?" Zhang Zuoxiang said with a melancholy look.  "It's hard to say." Wan Fulin also frowned and said: "Zhang Xinghan, this bastard, has never played his cards according to common sense. Just like a short time ago, who could have predicted that he would send troops into the dynasty, and in a short time  In one month, we will sweep through tens of thousands of Japanese troops and take the entire Korean Peninsula into our hands." Zhang Zuoxiang nodded and said, "What if he really launches an attack on our army? What should we do in the Pingjin area?  Can it be defended? " Wan Fulin lit a cigarette and took two puffs. He said solemnly: "If the Northeast Border Guards really launch an attack on our army, we will definitely not be able to resist it. Lao Zhang, we and the Japanese are  There is still a certain gap in combat power, right? In comparison, it is not difficult to predict the outcome." Zhang Zuoxiang's face was solemn and he frowned: "Then what should we do if a war breaks out?  The last place to stay with Xiaoliuzi. " "Xiaoliuzi!" Wan Fulin couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned Zhang Xueliang, "He is still far behind him. He is so good in the Northeast. I can't help it."  I can’t understand why we lost it during the September 18th Incident. We had hundreds of thousands of troops, but we were driven out of the Northeast, while Zhang Xinghan established a foothold in the Northeast in less than three years with less than a regiment of troops.  , defeated the Japanese and Russians in succession, his performance can not be overstated as shocking." When Wan Fulin mentioned the past, Zhang Zuoxiang also looked regretful and annoyed, nodded and said: "Yes, we actually have it in hand.  We lost the Northeast with hundreds of thousands of troops. If we had known this result earlier, we should have let Xiao Liuzi fight the little devil with real swords and guns in Shenyang. If it was a full-out battle, who would win?  It’s not known yet. Even if the whole army is wiped out, it will be better than being a lost dog now and having an eternal reputation for not resisting.” “Oh.” Wan Fulin sighed and shook his head, patting Zhang Zuoxiang on the shoulder.  Old brother, no matter what, we followed the Marshal through life and death. Today he is gone. We must preserve the last blood of the Northeast Army no matter what. If we die one day, we will have the dignity to see the Marshal. " Zhang Zuoxiang's face turned serious.  nod.  ………………… Chengde, 210th Division Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan and Sabli have been in Chengde for a day, and they are discussing the map at Sabli's division headquarters to formulate a battle plan to attack the Beiping area.  "Commander, including the new division you brought, the maximum number of troops we can use to attack Peking is 20,000. No more will be enough. We still have to leave a considerable number of troops to defend Chahar's Sun Dianying and  Song Zheyuan." Sabu said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Twenty thousand horses plus the 60,000 troops at Shanhaiguan, and with the assistance of the air force, it is enough to deal with the Northeast Army, whose combat effectiveness is not even second-rate. As for the little shrimps like Sun Dianying and Song Zheyuan, they have solved the problems in the Pingjin area.  After the Northeast Army, use your hands to attack them and deal with them once and for all." While the two were talking, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw Guo Zhong walking over in a meteoric pace.  Arriving at the front, Guo Zhong stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "General seat, the 200th and 203rd Divisions and the new divisions have called one after another." "Oh? Where are they now?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "The 200th Division has passed Jinxi and is heading towards Shanhaiguan. The 203rd Division has also passed Liaoyang.We plan to arrive in Jinzhou today.  The new division has arrived in Chifeng and can arrive in Chengde tomorrow at the latest.  "Guo Zhong replied. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Call Huang Xiansheng back and ask him to launch an attack in Shanhaiguan first to attract the attention of the Northeast Army and create opportunities for us to raid Peiping.  As for the new division, we are told that we have plenty of time, so don’t be anxious, as long as we can reach Chengde before sunset tomorrow.  A group of new recruits, the main force in attacking Peiping this time will be the 210th Division. They just need to see blood and gain experience.  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong responded, turned and left. PS: I was called to my second uncle's house for dinner at noon. I drank too much with him. It's been a hard day. I wrote this chapter for three hours. It's incredible. I'm just waking up now.  After drinking, I feel less uncomfortable in my stomach. But that’s it for today. If there are no accidents, I will update eight times tomorrow, maybe ten. Please vote for me. (To be continued!)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 355 Strategy of Pingjin (2) First Update

    In the direction of Shanhaiguan, since this is an important pass for the Northeastern Army to defend the Northeastern Border Defense Force outside the pass, He Zhuguo's 57th Army has been stationed here since two years ago.  After learning about the changes in the Northeastern Army outside the Pass, Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others urgently mobilized more than 20,000 people from the four brigades of Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division from Tangshan to the Qinhuangdao area.  At this time, Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army had been completely reorganized into three armies since the beginning of the 12th year of the Republic of China, with a total of more than 170,000 people, two armies less than in history.  Three armies are the main components of the Northeast Army, namely Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army (formerly the 1st Army), Wan Fulin's 53rd Army, and He Zhuguo's 57th Army.  In addition, there are two independent infantry divisions, namely Liu Duoquan’s Independent 105th Division and Shen Ke’s Independent 106th Division.  There are also four cavalry divisions, namely the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th Cavalry Divisions. The division commanders are Zhang Chengde, Guo Xipeng, Li Fuhe, and Bai Fengxiang.  There are three artillery brigades, namely the 6th Artillery Brigade, brigade commander Wang Hehua, the 7th Artillery Brigade, brigade commander Qiao Fang, and the 8th Artillery Brigade, brigade commander Huang Yongan.  There are also several units such as engineering corps, baggage corps, communications corps and armored vehicle brigades.  and the Navy Department stationed at Qingdao Port.  They were all given the title of National Revolutionary Army Army Infantry. The original independent brigades were changed to division designations, and the organization remained the same.  In terms of military deployment, in addition to He Zhuguo's 57th Army deployed in the direction of Shanhaiguan, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army was stationed in Pingjin and Tianjin respectively. As a garrison force, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army was mainly stationed in Miyun, Huairou and the junction area of ????Rehe to guard against the heat.  The Northeast Frontier Army and the old headquarters of the Northwest Army in the direction of the river and Chahar.  The Independent 106th Division and several cavalry divisions were stationed in the area south of Pingjin to guard against the Shanxi-Sui Army, the remnants of the Shiyou Three and the Central Army.  Together with Liu Duoquan’s independent 105th Division, the Northeast Army’s strength assembled on the front line of Shanhaiguan has exceeded Liu Wanwan’s.  …………………………………………… Huang Xiansheng has led the 200th Division to enter here.  They are waiting for the Second Tank Division and three anti-aircraft artillery regiments. At the same time, they also need to scout the movements of the Northeastern Army in Shanhaiguan.  In the temporary division headquarters, division commander Huang Xiansheng was discussing the military situation with several subordinates.  Mi Xiong, the commander and chief of staff of the Second Regiment, pointed at the map and said: "Division seat. According to the intelligence obtained by our army, the 57th Army of Hezhu State is still stationed in Shanhaiguan and Funing. There are four divisions in the army, with a total of 40,000 soldiers.  "Mi Xiong was Huang Xiansheng's old subordinate when he was the director of the Liaoning Provincial Security Department, and he was also a patriotic young general determined to fight against Japan.  So when Huang Xiansheng joined Zhang Xinghan's command to fight against Japan, he brought his old troops to join Huang Xiansheng. After a series of reorganizations and Huang Xiansheng's deliberate cultivation.  Now he is the chief of staff of the 200th Division and the commander of the second regiment.  Of course, Mi Xiong himself is also a man who is good at fighting and is extremely brave.  “Otherwise, even if Huang Xiansheng intends to cultivate him, he will not be able to sit in this position without Zhang Xinghan’s nod.  "Our movements are likely to have been known to the enemy. We cannot rule out the possibility of them increasing their troops." Huang Xiansheng said solemnly while looking at the map.  Mi Xiong and others were silent.  This is indeed the case, but they still have no idea what the situation inside the customs is now.  At this moment, a guard came in and saluted Huang Xiansheng: "Master, someone from the Secrecy Bureau is here." "Oh?" Huang Xiansheng was startled when he heard this, and then he said happily: "Where is it? Let him come and see him quickly.  "I." Zhang Xinghan's change of the reconnaissance battalion into the Secrecy Bureau has spread throughout the Northeast Frontier Army. Everyone knows that the Secrecy Bureau is their intelligence agent organization.  They are coming.  Maybe there was important information for him, so Huang Xiansheng was eager to be surprised.  The guard turned around and walked out, and after a while he led a young man in.  "Cheng Bin, deputy director of the Secrecy Bureau, has met General Huang." The young man saluted. Shen Xingye, the director of the Secrecy Bureau, is a major general, and his military rank is colonel. His qualifications and military rank are much lower than Huang Xiansheng, so  There is no big air, and the attitude is respectful.  Huang Xiansheng looked at Cheng Bin.  Since he didn't often walk on the road, Huang Xiansheng didn't dare to know him.  But since you were able to get in, you must have shown your identity certificate to the guards, otherwise the guards would not come to report it.  Huang Xiansheng smiled and saluted back, shook hands with him and said, "I don't know that Deputy Director Cheng is coming. It would be disrespectful for Huang to greet him from afar." Cheng Bin smiled and said, "What are you talking about, General? I have been ordered to come here to greet you because of my humble duty.  You provide the latest information to facilitate our army's operations. "Don't be polite, general." "Oh? The latest information? Is it related to the customs?" Huang Xiansheng asked happily, he was worried about this matter.  ? ?? Bin nodded and said: "Yes. According to the latest information obtained by our Secrecy Bureau, the Northeastern Army in the Pingjin area has learned of the whereabouts of our army and has increased vigilance. Moreover, they have just transferred Liu Duoquan's troops from Tianjin.  The strength of the Northeast Army garrison in Shanhaiguan of the Independent 105th Division has exceeded 60,000, and its strength has been greatly strengthened. " "Really?" Huang Xiansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked Cheng Bin: "Deputy Director Cheng, you have this information.  It's so timely. On behalf of all the soldiers of the 200th Division, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Cheng Bin said: "General, you are serious. Providing accurate military intelligence to our army is the responsibility of our Secrecy Bureau. General, there is no need to thank you. It is a humble position.  I have a mission, so I won’t stay any longer. Say goodbye.” Huang Xiansheng turned around and said, “Send Deputy Director Cheng off for me.” “Yes,” Mi Xiong said quickly and said to Cheng Bin.  "Deputy Director Cheng, please." After sending Cheng Bin away, Mi Xiong came back and saw Huang Xiansheng frowning at the map and said: "Master, the 57th Army in Shanhaiguan was originally the elite force of He Zhuguo, and now it's here again  We met Liu Duoquan, who turned out to be Marshal Zhang's direct bodyguard. He was a fierce warrior and a strong general. His independent 105th Division was also one of the few elite divisions left in the Northeastern Army. This battle may not be as we expected.  "It's so easy to win." Huang Xiansheng nodded in disbelief: "He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan are both talented people, and their subordinates are mostly well-equipped elite troops. They have an absolute advantage over us in terms of strength. To be on the safe side, I will."  It was decided to suspend the advance of the entire division and send a message to Liu Jianguo, asking him to speed up the 203rd Division to move westward to join us. We will gather all the forces of our two infantry divisions, one tank division and one air defense division to attack Shanhaiguan to ensure that this battle can go smoothly.  Take down Shanhaiguan and open the gate to enter. "This is the safest way." Mi Xiong and Deputy Division Commander Niu Erzhu both nodded in agreement.  ????????????????????????????????????…  A group of Northeastern officers and soldiers equipped with submachine guns walked onto the city, followed closely by several senior officers wearing general uniforms.  They are Liu Duoquan, commander of the independent 105th Division, Zhang Tingshu, commander of the 112th Division of the 57th Army, Tao Dongfan, commander of the 115th Division, and others.  The 57th Division has four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, namely the 109th Division, the 112th Division, the 115th Division and the 120th Division. The cavalry division is the 3rd Division.  Among them, the commander of the 109th Division is concurrently served by Army Commander He Zhuguo, the commander of the 120th Division is Chang Jingwu, and the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division is Wang Qifeng.  Among these people, Liu Duoquan, who is the commander of the 105th Independent Division, obviously has a higher status. First of all, his 105th Division is a combat unit under the direct control of Zhang Xueliang like the 57th Army. Although he is the division commander, he is not the same as the 105th Division.  He Zhuguo is already on the same level.  And Liu Duoquan was one of Zhang Xueliang's personal guards and was his confidant, so his status was certainly higher than that of Zhang Tingshu and others.  In the absence of He Zhuguo, all the divisions in Shanhaiguan are basically under his control. He Zhuguo, who stayed in Peiping, has already greeted Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and other subordinates.  Therefore, as soon as Liu Duoquan arrived in Qinhuangdao, he went to Shanhaiguan with Zhang Tingshu and others to inspect, in order to encourage the soldiers to improve their morale and prepare for the war to defend Shanhaiguan.  Second, come out to inspect the various units, declare your command authority to them, and contact the military commanders of the front-line units to facilitate future command.  Walking to the top of Shanhaiguan City, Zhang Tingshu pointed to the railway and official roads outside the pass and said: "Commander Liu, I have sent several groups of scout troops here. Once the enemy attacks, they can report back in time." Liu Duoquan nodded and held up his hand.  Looking ahead through the telescope, he said meaningfully: "It's a pity that the great rivers and mountains in the pass fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan." "By the way, Master Zhang, where is the enemy now?" Liu Duoquan put down the telescope and asked.  "According to intelligence, they have arrived in Suizhong, but they did not move forward and settled in Suizhong." Zhang Tingshu replied.  "How many troops are there in the enemy and who is the commander?" Liu Duoquan turned around and continued walking forward, asking as he walked.  "The enemy is the 200th Division stationed in Jinzhou and Dalian, and the division commander is Huang Xiansheng." Zhang Tingshu answered truthfully.  "Huang Xiansheng?" Liu Duoquan was a little surprised, and then he snorted angrily: "The young marshal loved him so much and didn't want to repay him. Instead, he became a traitor and joined Zhang Xinghan. Now he leads his troops to fight against him. He is really an ungrateful person.  ." Zhang Tingshu and others are fully aware of the rights and wrongs of Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and other former Northeast Army generals who defected to Zhang Xinghan's command.  They all gathered under Zhang Xinghan’s anti-Japanese banner for the sake of resisting Japan, but if they were to become traitorsIt's really a bit serious.  However, Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and others did not dare to complain about Huang Xiansheng and the others in front of Liu Duoquan. They just nodded silently and remained silent.  After a round of inspection, Taodong Fan said: "Commander Liu, it must be very hard for you to march all the way. I have people prepare food and wine for you to wash away the wind and dust. How about we go back first and talk about military affairs while eating?" Liu Duoquan  He also felt that this was a good opportunity to win over people's hearts, so he nodded: "Then it would be better for Liu to be respectful than to obey." (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 356: Strategy for Pingjin (3) Second Update

    In the afternoon of the next day, the new division finally arrived in Chengde to join Zhang Xinghan and the others.  The commander of the new recruit division is Ge Quanwu, former deputy commander of the 209th Division and former independent 10th Division. After all, the new recruit division is a reserve second-line unit and has just been formed, so it is necessary to transfer some backbones from active service.  Ge Quanwu is the elite among the cadres. Zhang Xinghan also remembers him. During the Battle of Shenyang, in Xinmin, he blocked the Japanese attack from both sides with a regiment of troops.  Ultimately, it laid the foundation for the Northeast New Army to encircle and annihilate the Xinmin Japanese Army and win the Shenyang Battle.  "Commander, long time no see." Ge Quanwu saluted Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and returned the greeting: "Mr. Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more energetic!" After everyone chatted for a while, Zhang Xinghan held a temporary pre-war meeting.  Sabli, Ge Quanwu and others participated as main members.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, our southern troops have basically completed preparations and will launch an attack on Shanhaiguan in the near future. And our task is to immediately attack Huairou and Shanhaiguan after the main force of the Northeast Army is attracted to Shanhaiguan.  Rushing into the Miyun area and directly attacking Beiping City, the Northeast Army was unable to take care of the front and rear. After our main force on the southern line broke through the Shanhaiguan defense line, our army was responsible for outflanking and encircling the Zhuozhou area to prevent the Northeast Army from escaping to the Baoding and Cangzhou lines.  Possible encirclement and annihilation of them and the Pingjin area." As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Sabli frowned and said: "Commander, according to the intelligence I have, the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army Wan Fulin has basically not changed.  There are nearly 40,000 troops stationed in Huairou and Miyun. If we want to break through from this direction and attack Beiping City, it may not be that easy." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Said: "Yes, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army is indeed stationed in this area, but their army has to defend a large area such as Zizunhua, Xinglong, Miyun, Huairou and Changping. Although there are many troops, they have actually been greatly dispersed.  Our army can adopt the method of dispersed advance and attack directly on the outskirts of Beiping. In this case, Wan Fulin's troops will be in chaos and rush back to rescue Beiping, while our army can concentrate.  The superior troops will be annihilated one by one on their way back to the reinforcements and defeated one by one. At the same time, the Northeast Army in the direction of Shanhaiguan will definitely be affected. As long as we break through Shanhaiguan, the mechanized advantages of our tank and armored forces will be fully realized.  He performed brilliantly and was invincible all the way to Peiping and Tianjin." After hearing Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Sabli nodded in understanding.  "Of course, in order to ensure the success of this dispersed assault, we must create some pressure on Wan Fulin on the frontal battlefield." Zhang Xinghan said this, turned to look at Ge Quanwu and said: "Quanwu, this frontal feint attack attracts the enemy  The task of focusing our attention will be left to you. You can concentrate our forces on the Huairou and Miyun areas. The air force will provide you with powerful fire support. Remember, your mission is not to defeat your opponents, but to contain them and attract them.  Just do it for a show, don't be too impulsive and fill up the entire recruit reserve division. Although we are well-equipped, in a real fight, your group of recruits are no match for Wan Fulin's group of veterans.  , the Northeast Army is basically afraid of our army. Afraid of our army's great reputation, they should only defend passively and dare not take the initiative. In this way, you have the initiative, can advance and retreat freely, and have the support of the air force.  , There should be no big problem." "Yes." Ge Quanwu accepted the order happily: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will be more careful and act cautiously." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Sabuli: "Lao Sa.  , your 210th Division will play the leading role this time. In addition to all the original cavalry brigade being dispatched, the tank regiment directly under the division headquarters and the artillery regiment will also be dispatched with the army. Let's do this. I will lead the cavalry brigade and my guard battalion south from the Changping area. You  Lead the tank regiment, the artillery regiment and the two infantry regiments to separate into two groups and pass through the Xinglong and Huairou areas respectively. Remember, the time should be chosen at night and pass quietly. Even if there is an encounter with a small enemy force, do not do it.  Love the battle, quickly pass south, and we will meet outside Peiping! " "Yes, commander-in-chief, please rest assured, please bear in mind this humble duty." Sabli also agreed with a loud voice.  “Okay, everyone, let’s get ready. We’ll have another day off today and we’ll set out in separate ways tomorrow.” Zhang Xinghan waved to everyone to dismiss the meeting.  Not long after everyone left, Guo Zhong suddenly walked in with a telegram and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from General Wang Yizhe from Seoul." Zhang Xinghan's face changed after hearing this, and he asked nervously  Said: "How?Okay, what happened?  Did the Japanese counterattack?  " Guo Zhong shook his head slightly and said: "It's not a Japanese counterattack. The situation on the Goryeo Peninsula is currently stable. General Wang and others have begun to form a puppet army and a puppet regime.  ” The establishment of a puppet army and a puppet regime was a decision made by Zhang Xinghan before he left. This is conducive to the rule of the Northeast Frontier Army on the Korean Peninsula. Although the puppet army, which is mainly Korean, may not be used in fighting, it can be used to maintain public security.  It is more than enough to suppress some local people who are disgusted with the Northeast Army. The ancestors have already implemented it, and the effect is pretty good. Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked in surprise: "What is that?  "Commander, do you still remember the large number of Japanese who fled into the mountains during the Battle of Kaicheng?"  "Guo Zhong reminded and asked. Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Remember, remember, what happened, they came out of the mountain?  " Guo Zhong nodded and said: "It is true that they came out of the mountain, but of the nearly 20,000 Japs, less than 2,000 people walked out of the mountain alive. As soon as they came out of the mountain, they were discovered by the local puppet troops and reported to our army.  The Japanese used ordinary people as cannon fodder in Kaicheng, and the locals were extremely cruel to them.  Our army dispatched in time and annihilated all the more than a thousand emaciated remaining Japanese soldiers. It is said that there may be some living Japanese soldiers in the mountains who have lost their way and failed to come out. Just in case, General Wang has mobilized the local puppet troops.  Pay close attention and be ready to surround and suppress any little Japs who come out alive.  " "Well, that's good. These devils are the last threat in the Goryeo area. If they are eliminated, there will no longer be any force within Goryeo that can threaten the rule of our army.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with relief and said: "Call General Wang back and commend all the troops participating in the war."  "    "yes.  "Guo Zhong responded, turned around and took the order and left. ……………………………… was speechless all night. Early the next morning, the two divisions, which had been well prepared, left Chengde separately and headed south to Changping, Miyun, Huairou and other places.  The troops that set out from Chengde this time, including Zhang Xinghan's guard battalion and Ge Quanwu's new army division, totaled more than 27,000 people. Because the new army division had just been formed, it did not have technical arms such as artillery regiments and tank regiments, and only six.  An infantry regiment. Obviously, when Zhang Xinghan formed these new divisions, he left space for the artillery regiment and the tank regiment. These three additional regiments can be reorganized into tanks, artillery and other direct units when the time comes. However, although there is no artillery.  And tanks and other directly affiliated units, the equipment of the recruits is not bad. mg42 general machine gun, Garand semi-automatic rifle, bazooka rocket launcher, MP38 submachine gun, these are easy to use and easy to master, and the firepower is better than Wanfulin.  The 53rd Army was so good. After parting with Sabuli and Ge Quanwu, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong rushed towards Changping with a cavalry brigade and a guard battalion totaling more than 5,000 people.  The Cavalry Brigade is the only organic cavalry unit retained within the Northeast Frontier Defense Force so far. Mainly due to the terrain of Jehol and the lack of armored personnel, it was an exception to be included in the 210th Division. The Cavalry Brigade has indeed lived up to expectations.  They are highly mobile, although they cannot compare with armored forces, but they are more flexible, and their logistical supply requirements are almost negligible on this thousand-mile plain. They have made great contributions to the 210th Division's stabilization of the situation in Jehol. Moreover, Sabli is a cavalry.  With the support of Zhang Xinghan, the cavalry are basically equipped with submachine guns, replacing the traditional carbine. With extremely powerful firepower and strong attack capabilities, they are also indispensable in deterring the remnants of the Northeastern and Northwest armies in the Chahar and Miyun areas.  Since this time the troops were going deep alone and it was difficult to provide logistics, Zhang Xinghan ordered the guard battalion to abandon military vehicles and all use war horses to act in unison with the cavalry brigade. In fact, Zhang Xinghan had a multi-function watch in his hand.  , replenishing gasoline is not a problem for him, but these military vehicles are not tanks and chariots. They are just transportation like cavalry horses. There is no special advantage. When encountering some road conditions, they are not as flexible and convenient as cavalry horses, so Zhang Xinghan.  They asked the guard battalion to abandon their cars and ride on horses. The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were all elites selected from the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Border Guard. They were very skilled and could drive cars, so riding horses was a no-brainer.  Equipped with sharp sabers, they suddenly became uniform cavalry. It had been a long time since I had ridden a war horse, let alone marched with thousands of cavalry. I turned my horse out of the queue and looked away. I saw thousands of cavalry stretching for several miles.  The soldiers wore blue military uniforms, helmets, and carried submachine guns on their backs.The horse ran wildly, like a raging flood, sweeping forward in a mighty manner.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but feel extremely proud. He pulled the horse's reins, waved his whip and slapped the horse's butt hard, "Drive!" The horse was in pain and immediately spread its hooves and galloped forward. Guo Zhong and others followed suit.  .  More than five thousand cavalry roared and galloped like thunder. Wherever they went, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound was overwhelming.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 357: Strategy for Pingjin (4) Third Update

    At the same time, in the direction of Shanhaiguan, Suizhong County in the Liaoxi Corridor.  // Fastest update // Liu Jianguo finally led all the officers and soldiers of the 203rd Division to Suizhong to join the 200th Division.  Before them, Xing Zhanqing's Second Tank Division and three anti-aircraft regiments had already arrived.  So far, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has assembled two reorganized mechanized infantry divisions, one tank division, and three air defense regiments in Suizhong.  The total strength exceeds 58,000 people, nearly 60,000 troops.  Inside the temporary division headquarters, Huang Xiansheng said to Liu Jianguo, Xing Zhanqing, Niu Erzhu, Mi Xiong and others in high spirits: "Brothers, our army has been assembled, and the commander-in-chief just received a call saying that they had left Chengde this morning and were marching south.  On the way. "It's time for us to officially march westward and attack Shanhaiguan." Everyone nodded, and Niu Erzhu even said: "Master, I humbly ask for orders to go out. Please allow me to lead a regiment as a forward force to attack Shanhaiguan."  " Huang Xiansheng nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will put the tank regiment under your command. You will go first, and Commander Liu and Commander Xing will follow with the main force. " "Yes," Niu Erzhu said happily.  He responded, saluted, and hurriedly took the order and left.  "Jianguo, Zhanqing, we are all old acquaintances, and He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan across the street are also old acquaintances. This fight is more or less fratricidal, so I asked Deputy Commander Niu to lead the attack. Do you understand  ?" Huang Xiansheng looked at the three of them meaningfully.  Indeed, they are all former members of the Northeastern Army, and they are former colleagues with He Zhuguo and Yu Xuezhong. There is a sense of brotherhood.  Liu Jianguo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "General Huang, don't mention the past things anymore. The reason why we parted ways is because we don't want to sit back and watch the country fall and our compatriots suffer. Who is right or wrong? History will give the best  Proof. Now, as the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, we have conquered Goryeo and defeated Japan and Russia. What thing has not been done that is very satisfying and upright? Today, the commander-in-chief ordered us to enter the customs, so it must be him.  The truth. Anyone who dares to block the progress of our army, no matter who he is, is our enemy. When we meet on the battlefield, you will die or I will die. The righteousness of the past has long been replaced by the September 18th Incident and the Jinzhou War.  The sound of guns and artillery in the battle disappeared. "  Think of us as brothers? They even want to join forces with the Japanese to destroy us. How can such people be our brothers? "Everything the two said was reasonable, thinking back to what Marshal Zhang said in the past.  Huang Xiansheng's mentality changed due to his inaction and later behavior that could be called a traitor.  He nodded and said: "You two are right, I am too benevolent. From now on, there are only the enemy's army and our army, without the righteousness of the Northeast Army. We cannot be sorry for the commander-in-chief's love for us. Everyone, go and prepare.  Come on, the troops will set off immediately and send troops to Shanhaiguan. " Shanhaiguan, 57th Army Headquarters.  Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others were gathering to discuss the military situation, when a communications adjutant hurried in.  He saluted Zhang Tingshu and reported: "Master, the enemy troops in Suizhong have moved." "Huh?" Zhang Tingshu, Liu Duoquan and others were all shocked. Liu Duoquan shouted over his servants and asked: "Speak quickly. What is the specific situation?  How many troops are there in the enemy force? Where are they now?" The communications adjutant did not dare not answer. After looking at Zhang Tingshu and others, he said: "The enemy has many tanks and armored vehicles, and their strength may not be less than 100,000. In addition, their vanguard troops have already left first.  Suizhong. We are moving quickly towards Shanhaiguan. We are already less than a hundred miles away." "An army of one hundred thousand?" Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others' expressions changed drastically, and Liu Duoquan took a breath of air.  He said with disbelief: "How is this possible? Doesn't Huang Xiansheng only have one division under his command? How come the strength of the troops has increased so much in less than two days?" "Yes, didn't the Northeast Frontier Defense Force just finish the Battle of Goryeo?  I heard that there was a considerable number of troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula. Why did Zhang Xinghan come up with another 100,000 troops to attack us in such a short period of time?" Taodong Fan also followed in horror.  The communications adjutant obviously didn't know that there was a deviation in their intelligence. He lowered his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. This is what our reconnaissance team reported."  Brother, the enemy has many troops.?, the attack is fierce, we should quickly send a message to General Yu and General He for help. We must ask them to send additional reinforcements, otherwise we may not be able to defend Shanhaiguan!  " "Well, we also have more than 60,000 people in our hands. We have enough people to guard a Shanhaiguan Pass. What needs to be strengthened is the firepower. I will send a message to Commander Yu and ask him to transfer several artillery brigades to strengthen our  Artillery strength.  "Liu Duoquan made an immediate decision. "Beiping City, the Marshal's Mansion. When the communications adjutant presented the urgent message from Liu Duoquan and others, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo, who were sitting in the Marshal's Mansion, also  His expression changed. “One hundred thousand troops?  !  "At this moment, Yu Xuezhong and the others trembled with despair. You must know that the combat power of Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force far exceeds that of the Japanese and Soviet armies. With the same strength, the Japanese and Russian armies are not their opponents at all. " And Yu Xuezhong  Tadashi and the others also know that the combat power of today's Northeastern Army is much worse than that of the Japanese. It is not at the same level as the Northeastern Border Defense Army, which has just experienced bloody battles with the Japanese and Soviet troops.  The combat strength of the Northeast Army far exceeds the 200,000, not to mention that the total strength of the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area is only more than 170,000, less than 200,000. "Brother Yu, this battle is of great importance, we should contact the Marshal as soon as possible.  Bar.  "He Zhuguo looked at Xuezhong with despair in his eyes. Yu Xuezhong smiled bitterly: "Young Marshal?  He left for Europe, and he may still be on the road. He hasn't settled down yet. How can he contact him?  " "Then what should we do?  Zhang Xinghan's 100,000-strong army is approaching fiercely, and if he can't contact the young commander, Pingjin may change hands!  "He Zhuguo was anxious. "Well, let's first respond to Liu Duoquan's request for help and transfer the 6th, 7th and 8th artillery brigades up.  "Yu Xuezhong pondered: "In addition, we immediately signed a letter to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing and Yan Xishan in Shanxi to request them to send troops to reinforce us.  " "The Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army?  He Zhuguo said with some worry: "Will they send troops to help us?"  Maybe, it's very possible that the false Tao Mie Guo will add insult to injury to us.  " "It should be so. Now Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force has occupied the Korean Peninsula and the entire four northeastern provinces. If he is allowed to occupy Pingjin again, the battle flag of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force can go south at any time and encroach on the entire North China and even the northwest.  Whether it is Chairman Chiang’s Central Army or Yan Xishan’s Shanxi-Sui Army, they certainly do not want Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force to expand again.  In order to curb his development into North China, they should send troops to help us.  "Yu Xuezhong analyzed with uncertainty. Hearing Yu Xuezhong's analysis, He Zhuguo had no other choice, so he nodded in agreement. The only remaining artillery brigades of the Northeastern Army are three artillery brigades that were ordered to reinforce Shanhaiguan along the railway.  Joint messages asking for help from Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others were also sent to Nanjing and Taiyuan. The official residence of the leader of the National Government. Chairman Chiang had received some news two days ago about the Northeast Frontier Force's intention to attack Pingjin.  After receiving a joint request for help from Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others, Chairman Chiang summoned He Yingqin, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and Chen Cheng, the leader of the civil engineering department who was his confidant, to sit in Chairman Chiang's living room in order of priority.  On the sofa, Chairman Chiang picked up a telegram on the coffee table and said to He Yingqin and Chen Cheng: "Respectfully, I would like to say goodbye. This is jointly sent by Yu Xuezhong, Commander of the 51st Army of the Northeast Army, He Zhuguo, Commander of the 57th Army, and others.  Please take a look at the call for help.  " After saying that, he handed the telegram to He Yingqin. He Yingqin took it respectfully and handed it to Chen Cheng after reading it. Seeing that they both read it once, Chairman Jiang said in a thick Ningbo accent: "What do you think?  Should we send troops to rescue them?  He Yingqin and Chen Cheng looked at each other and said, "Commissioner, Zhang Xueliang has gone abroad. The Northeastern Army in the Pingjin area is leaderless. If we don't reinforce them, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Army and the territory of Pingjin will be annexed by Zhang Xinghan."  "Allowing Zhang Xinghan's unscrupulous development and expansion to continue is not beneficial to the party and the state. Zhang Xinghan is by no means comparable to Zhang Hanqing. If he becomes a leader, he will be more harmful than Zhang Zuolin.  " He Yingqin's words resonated with Chen Cheng, and even Chairman Chiang nodded in recognition. Chen Cheng said: "Minister He is right, Commissioner, in fact, in the past three years, Zhang Xinghan defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army with lightning speed.  Having conquered the four northeastern provinces and now defeating the Japanese invaders in Goryeo, they have conquered the Goryeo Peninsula and have become a new land hegemon in Northeast Asia. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of obedience and perfunctory behavior to your orders, and we must not allow it to continue to develop.  Must be addedTo contain it, otherwise it will become a serious problem for the party and state in the future. In the words of Minister He, its harm is no less than that of the former Fengcian warlord Zhang Zuolin, or even greater than the former.  " "Well, what you two said makes sense. I was too careless in the past and took the overall situation into consideration, but I didn't expect that this kid Zhang Xinghan would develop so fast. It was like a divine help. It was really incredible.  "Chairman Jiang nodded, and then frowned slightly and said: "But the main force of our Central Army is suppressing bandits. It is a critical moment now, and we really can't mobilize too many troops to go north.  And our army of more than 100,000 people in North China must not only restrain the Shandong Army Han Fuqu and the Shanxi-Sui Army Yan Xishan, but also defend various places. I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Zhang Xinghan from going south!  "(To be continued.

    After saying that, Chairman Jiang looked at the two of them and asked, "Jesus, Ci Xiu, do you two have any good ideas?" Chen Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Commissioner, I have a plan for humble positions." "Quickly, quickly."  Let's talk about it." Chairman Jiang immediately waved his hand.  "As the committee member said, our central yāng army does not have a large number of troops in North China. It is the central yāng that balances the forces of all parties. It is really not suitable to be used to help the Northeast Army deal with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force. This force  But the Japanese and the Russians cannot defeat the elites. We cannot take such a big risk to fight with them. Therefore, I suggest that the committee immediately give orders to the Chairman of Shandong Province, Han Fuqu, and Yan Xishan of Shanxi.  They each sent troops north to Pingjin to assist the Northeast Army in resisting the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's attack, allowing them to take the lead, while our central army reaped the benefits. " He Yingqin and Chairman Chiang both nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and He Yingqin said with some doubts.  : "This method of Ci Xiu is not unfeasible. If Zhang Xinghan takes Pingjin and expands, the first thing that will be endangered is his Shanxi territory of Yan Baichuan, so the probability of the Jinsui Army sending troops is higher. However, Han Fuqu is a former general of the Northwest Army.  , This person is good at opportunism and is unwilling to be inferior to others. In order to preserve his strength, I am afraid that he may not send troops. " Upon hearing this, Chairman Jiang said vigorously: "Mother Xipi, I can't kill Yan Baichuan, but Han Fuqu can still do it.  I'm going to kill him. Go to Shandong in person. If Han Fuqu disobeys the military order, he will be removed from his post and investigated." The reason why Chairman Chiang has a bad impression of Han Fuqu is because Han Fuqu has been there since he joined Chairman Chiang.  Qilu Dadi vigorously developed its own strength, and repeatedly wanted to exclude the power of the Central Army from Shandong and become the king of Shandong.  For the sake of the overall situation, Chairman Chiang has never cared about these small actions of his. It is only now that the situation in the Ping-Tianjin area has suddenly changed and the stakes are so important that Chairman Chiang cannot help but get angry.  He Yingqin was very clear about the grievances and resentments here. When he saw Chairman Jiang showing murderous intent, he nodded and said: "Okay, please rest assured, Commissioner, I will handle this matter carefully." "Well, I will let Liu Zhi  If Han Fuqu dares to cooperate with Hu Zongnan and disrespect the central government's orders, the military commander will also cooperate with you to take action," Chairman Jiang said seductively.  He Yingqin nodded and felt relieved. With Liu Zhi and Hu Zongnan in the military, and secretly assisted by the military commander, this trip to Shandong was almost certain.  ?????…………………… Taiyuan, Shanxi, the provincial chairman’s residence of Yan Xishan.  Yan Xishan also received a message asking for help from Yu Xuezhong and others. At this time, he summoned Yang Aiyuan, Shang Zhen and other close generals to discuss the matter.  "Everyone, I think you all know what happened in the Pingjin area. I have called you here today just to hear your opinions. In this battle of Pingjin, our Jinsui Army is watching the fire from across the bank.  Or should we send troops to fight Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force?" Yan Xishan, sitting in the front seat with a golden sword, said with a thick Shanxi Wutai Mountain accent.  Shang Zhen and others looked at each other. In the end, Yang Aiyuan, who was the most popular, was the first to speak: "Chairman, in view of our humble position, we should send troops." "Oh? Tell me the reason." Yan Xishan waved his hand, not forgetting the old grudge.  : "Everyone, please don't forget that during the Central Plains War, it was Zhang Hanqing who led his troops into the customs and led to our disastrous defeat." Yang Aiyuan paused and said: "Chairman, we did have a mortal enemy with Zhang Xueliang in the past, but this time  Suddenly, Zhang Xueliang has become a lost dog, and his army of hundreds of thousands has been reduced to less than two-thirds. It has long been a tiger without teeth. On the contrary, Zhang Xinghan, a rising star, has become more powerful in less than three years.  He actually defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army, and now occupied the four northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula, becoming a veritable new king of Northeast China. This person's methods are extraordinary. If he is allowed to develop like this, sooner or later, the entire North China will be destroyed.  They will all fall into his hands. Now he is attacking Pingjin, seemingly to avenge Zhang Xueliang's attack on Jinzhou last year, but after careful analysis, it is not difficult to find out how big his ambition is to occupy Pingjin first and intersect with Rehe.  Echo, and then plot against Hebei, Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Chahar.” After hearing Yang Aiyuan’s analysis, Commander Yan, who was very sure that the old god was there just now, couldn’t help but cursed: “Fuck you.  Yes, needless to say, send troops, send troops immediately, we must not let Zhang Xinghan monopolize Pingjin." "Chairman is wise," Yang Aiyuan said unhurriedly: "Chairman, don't worry, we will send troops alone to defeat the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Not big, I think weWe can unite Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and the central army to send troops together to counter Zhang Xinghan's southward march with absolutely superior force. This will not only reduce our army's battle losses, but also successfully contain Zhang Jun's expansion within the pass.  " "Well, well said, well said, I will generate electricity for Chiang Kai-shek right now.  " Yan Xishan nodded repeatedly, becoming more and more satisfied with his beloved general. As soon as Yan Xishan finished speaking, the adjutant Xu Youde walked in quickly, saluted Yan Xishan and reported: "Chairman, there is a call from Nanjing.  "    "oh?  " Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan in surprise and thought, I was just looking for Jiang, and Jiang came here? "Bring it here quickly.  " Yan Xishan waved to Xu Youde. Xu Youde stepped forward and handed the telegram to Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan took the telegram and squinted his eyes and read it again. There was nothing unusual about his face. Yang Aiyuan asked tentatively: "Chairman,  What did the message from Nanjing say?  " "Damn it, Chiang Kai-shek has no good intentions. Before I even found him, he took the initiative to find him and asked us to send troops to assist the Northeast Army in resisting the invasion of the Northeast Frontier Army.  "Yan Xishan said with a sinister expression. Yang Aiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Chairman, we really can't be in a hurry about sending troops.  " "What do you mean?  Not sending troops?  Will that work?  Yan Xishan said with unexpected worry: "If we don't send troops, will Zhang Xueliang's defeated generals be able to withstand Zhang Xinghan's attack?"  If we can't resist it and Peking is captured, wouldn't it be too late?  " Yang Aiyuan smiled and said: "Chairman, don't worry. No matter how bad the Northeast Army is, they still have nearly 200,000 troops. They can still hold on in a short time relying on the natural dangers of Shanhaiguan.  Isn’t there Xu Tingyao’s Central Army on the line between Baoding and Cangzhou? Since Chairman Chiang ordered us to send troops to relieve Pingjin together with the Central Army, we will quickly move our troops out of Yangquan and Shijiazhuang to move closer to Baoding and cooperate with Xu Tingyao and other Central Army units.  Let’s move forward together.  " Yan Xishan quickly came back to his senses after tasting the product, and said with great joy: "If you want it, if you want it, let's do it. In addition, Xingru, you have to arrange for someone to contact Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying as soon as possible, so that they can put aside their old grudges and deal with Zhang Xinghan together.  , the reason why the two of them fought so hard that they both suffered losses, wasn't the culprit the cunning Zhang Xinghan?  !  " "Yes, please bear in mind your humble position.  "Yang Aiyuan bowed his head and responded. Yan Xishan was overjoyed and stood up and said to Shang Zhen: "Brother Qiyu, you will be the one to lead the troops.  "    "yes!  "Shang Zhen accepted the order happily. …………………… At three o'clock in the afternoon, outside Shanhaiguan, Niu Erzhu led a regiment of infantry and tanks to rush to Shanhaiguan. As soon as they arrived, Niu Erzhu called the air force to Shanhaiguan.  The Northeastern Army carried out air raids to demoralize the defenders in the pass. After the air raid, before the smoke cleared from the Shanhaiguan Pass, Niu Erzhu commanded the troops to take the lead in launching an attack on Shanhaiguan. The tank regiment had strong firepower and consisted of nearly a hundred 75mm tank guns.  The powerful artillery fire suppressed the Shanhaiguan defenders so much that they could not even lift their heads. The officers and soldiers of an infantry battalion shouted slogans and launched a formal charge towards the Guanqiang wall under the cover of the tank troops. "Charge, kill!"  "Hundreds of Northeastern Border Guards soldiers shouted to kill Zhentian, and under the cover of tanks, they quickly approached the wall without fear of death. In the rear, accompanied by several officers, Niu Erzhu was climbing up with binoculars to observe the progress of the battle.  The Northeastern officers and soldiers on the wall were first bombed by the Northeastern Border Guards' air force and then hit by fierce firepower from the tank and artillery regiments. They suffered heavy casualties. The tank regiment's machine gun fire suppressed them and they could not lift their heads until the Northeastern Border Guards charged.  Once they were within two hundred meters, the Northeast Army officers and soldiers relied on the city defenses and opened fire tenaciously. Suddenly, there were loud gunshots, explosions, and flames in the sky. Niu Erzhu's troops attacked for three hours, and finally were defeated by the Northeast Army.  The resistance was tenacious and the first attack was stopped. Although it failed to capture Shanhaiguan, it caused considerable casualties to the defenders. According to post-war statistics, within three hours, the 57th Northeast Army on the front line.  One battalion of the army suffered more than half casualties and was almost disabled. This is the difference in weapons, equipment and firepower between the two sides. Even if the Northeast Army defends against danger, it can only pay for it with human lives at night if it wants to resist the attack of the Northeast Frontier Army.  , near Changping, Zhang Xinghan has led more than 5,000 cavalry into Changping. At this moment, Zhang Xinghan is riding a horse. The saddle is not equipped with a saber, but the Longquan sword that Sun Dianying gave him in the past.  , this sword stolen from the Dongling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty sharpened iron.Like mud, extremely sharp.  After Zhang Xinghan used it a few times, he liked it more and more, and now he carries it with him as a sword.  The reason why they have slowed down their advance is because they have now entered the territory of Changping and must slow down to prevent the enemy from discovering them. At the same time, Zhang Xinghan is also waiting for the arrival of darkness. After nightfall, his cavalry troops can quickly  Bypassing Changping, they marched directly to Peiping.  ps: This is the fourth update. There are still four more updates. I will work hard to complete it. I also ask all brothers and sisters to vote for a few more monthly votes to give some motivation.

    While walking, a communications cavalryman rode up to catch up from behind.  Arriving in front of Zhang Xinghan, Yu immediately saluted: "Commander, I just received a call from General Huang Xiansheng. His deputy division commander Niu Erzhu led his troops to Shanhaiguan three hours ago and launched the first attack on Shanhaiguan. He failed to attack Shanhaiguan."  "Give Niu Erzhu direct power. The enemy will gather a lot of troops in Shanhaiguan. Tell him to be careful of the Northeast Army's counterattack at night," Zhang Xinghan ordered immediately after hearing this.  The cavalry communications soldier quickly took notes, saluted, turned around and left after being ordered to leave.  "Commander!" At this time, Guo Zhong rushed from the front with several cavalry. He had just been sent out by Zhang Xinghan to scout the enemy situation in front.  "Zhongzi, how is the situation ahead?" Zhang Xinghan reined in his horse and asked.  Guo Zhongle stopped his horse and saluted: "Back to the headquarters, Changping is 20 kilometers ahead. Wan Fulin's two regiments totaling 2,000 people are stationed here. I suggest that we rest where we are and don't continue.  We're moving forward to avoid exposing our whereabouts, and wait until nightfall before moving forward." "Well, I'll do as you say, and order the troops to find the woods and rest!" Zhang Xinghan said immediately.  Outside Shanhaiguan, the main force led by Huang Xiansheng, Liu Jianguo and others also arrived and joined forces with Niu Erzhu.  "Master, you are here." Niu Erzhu personally came out of the headquarters to greet him.  Huang Xiansheng walked hand in hand with Liu Jianguo, Xing Zhanqing and others, followed by a group of guards.  After both sides saluted, Huang Xiansheng asked eagerly: "Deputy Commander Niu, how are you? How strong is the enemy?" Niu Erzhu smiled slightly and said: "The firepower was mediocre and was easily suppressed by our army, but the resistance was extremely tenacious. Our troops attacked three times fiercely.  After hours, no breakthrough was achieved. " Huang Xiansheng nodded, and the group walked to the headquarters. Huang Xiansheng said: "It is reasonable to resist tenaciously. This natural barrier in Shanhaiguan is the most important barrier in Pingjin.  The Northeastern Army will definitely invest heavy troops to defend this place. This battle will definitely be a head-on battle!" As they spoke, they had already arrived at the headquarters in front of the map.  Surrounding the map, Niu Erzhu said: "No matter how tenacious the enemy's resistance is, our army is not afraid. What kind of tough battles have we not fought in the past few years? The little devils and old men who are much more difficult to deal with have been defeated by us, and we are still afraid  "You're right, we have never been afraid of anyone in a tough battle," Liu Jianguo nodded happily.  "We can't be careless. We can't act recklessly. We have to think carefully about how to minimize our casualties." Huang Xiansheng said.  Niu Erzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said suddenly: "Master, sirs, my opinion on this battle is to focus on using our tank fire and artillery regiments, plus the fire support of the air force. We will make full use of our capabilities as much as possible.  With the superiority in firepower, we will use our superior artillery fire to inflict maximum damage on the Northeast Army, and finally defeat them, breaking through the first level in the world in one fell swoop.  Come on, we won’t attack tonight. We’ll have a night’s rest. We’ll use our artillery and air force advantages tomorrow morning. “Don’t pay attention. The troops on duty cannot slack off and need to be more vigilant to prevent the Northeast Army.  Counterattack at night," Liu Jianguo said calmly.  "Yeah." Xing Zhanqing, Huang Xiansheng and others nodded.  Niu Erzhu said: "The general manager also mentioned in his reply that I will make proper arrangements, so you can rest assured." Behind Shanhaiguan, the 57th Army Headquarters.  Taodong Fan paced back and forth in the military headquarters like an ant on a hot pot.  Liu Duoquan and Zhang Tingshu sat on one side with solemn expressions.  "Oh, Mr. Tao, please stop walking around. It makes me dizzy." Zhang Tingshu said impatiently.  "Old Zhang. You can still sit still. This is just one of their vanguard troops. They defeated my entire main battalion in just three hours. Do you think I can take it easy?" Tao Dongfan blushed and had a thick neck.  The way.  "What's the use of being anxious? The Northeast Frontier Defense Force's combat strength is not as strong as a day or two." Zhang Tingshu said angrily.  In fact, he was also very shocked. This was just a tentative attack. As Taodong Fan said, this was just one of their vanguard troops. The offensive was so fast and powerful, and the combat power was so powerful that it was almost crushing. How could they still attack?  Once the main force from behind arrives, how many days can Shanhaiguan be able to defend it?  The same doubts also spread in the minds of Liu Duoquan and others. Liu Duoquan wanted to go to Taodong Fan again.Arguing with Zhang Tingshu, he interrupted unhappily: "That's enough, stop arguing. We are facing a powerful enemy. We should unite sincerely and be united in dealing with the outside world. What's the use of talking nonsense here? Can we repel the enemy and defend Shanhaiguan?"  ?" After Liu Duoquan said this, Taodong Fan and Zhang Tingshu shut their mouths.  Liu Duoquan looked at Taodong Fan and gave him a step down the stairs and said: "Master Tao, please sit down first. We can't mess up our position." Taodong Fan's face looked slightly better. After sitting down, he said to Liu Duoquan  : "Commander Liu, we are facing a formidable enemy. Do you have any good ideas? Tell us quickly. The enemy's air force and tank and artillery units are mainly the threat to our army." "To deal with such a powerful opponent, we must  There is no air force, let alone tanks and artillery units that can match it. I don’t have any good ideas at the moment, but our artillery unit will arrive in a short time, and we will also have artillery support.  "I was passively bombed," Liu Duoquan said.  "What will happen if our artillery unit comes? If its whereabouts are exposed in broad daylight, it is very likely that planes from the Northeast Border Guard will come to attack and bomb. As far as I know, on the battlefield outside the customs, Zhang Xinghan's air force will  They often did this, killing the Japanese artillery first, causing the Japanese to lose their artillery units and the artillery fire to compete with the Northeast Frontier Army, and then used the superiority of artillery fire to suppress the Japanese army, thus winning the battle." Zhang Tingshu said.  He said with a worried face.  Liu Duoquan nodded and said: "Yes, Commander Zhang's concerns are completely justified, so we have to use artillery more carefully." After a pause, Liu Duoquan said: "Let's do this, during the day we will take an absolute defensive stance, and at night,  Just use artillery to launch a night attack to counterattack the enemy. The best defense is to attack. We can't just defend." "Yes, I agree." Zhang Tingshu nodded.  "I also agree. We will organize capable manpower at night and beat up those bastards outside the customs." When Tao Dongfan thought of his men being killed by the Northeast Army's firepower, he couldn't help but spit fire with his eyes and gritted his teeth.  "It's not too late. The enemy has just arrived tonight and has not yet established a stable foothold. We will organize a night attack to avenge the day's revenge!" Liu Duoquan struck while the railway was hot.  "Okay, I'll pick someone myself." Tao Dongfan stood up excitedly and said.  "Well, you have to be cautious in your actions." Liu Duoquan also stood up and told him: "You have to wait until late at night before taking action, that way you will be more sure." "I understand." Tao Dongfan nodded and immediately turned around and left.  .  Changping, after nightfall, Zhang Xinghan took the 5,000 cavalry who had eaten, drank, and rested and set off again, heading south under the cover of night.  To be on the safe side, he ordered Guo Zhong to lead a battalion of cavalry to closely monitor the movements of the Changping defenders, and he personally led the main force to quickly circle the city near the south entrance to the west of Changping.  By ten o'clock in the evening, almost all the five thousand cavalry had successfully bypassed Changping, and someone was sent to notify Guo Zhong to evacuate.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops and disappeared into the night.  At the same time, in Beiping City, the Young Marshal's Mansion.  Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo looked solemn, sitting in front of the map and sighing.  Because just before evening, they received urgent telegrams from Liu Duoquan and others from Shanhaiguan direction and Wan Fulin from Miyun area.  The Northeastern Border Guards from Shanhaiguan direction have arrived and launched a fierce attack with extremely strong combat power. Both Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo expressed deep concern about this.  Wan Fulin's telegram only made matters worse. He reported that about one division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army suddenly arrived in the evening. Under the cover of several Air Force aircraft, they launched a sudden attack on the Miyun and Huairou defense lines of the 53rd Army.  .  Despite the full resistance of the 53rd Army soldiers, the attack was repelled.  But Yu Xuezhong and the others have deeply felt the seriousness of this situation, and the Pingjin and Tianjin areas are almost attacked on both sides.  Just when the two men were sighing and worrying about the prospect of the Pingjin battle, an adjutant came in excitedly, stood up and saluted the two men and said: "General, Shanxi and Nanjing have called back." "Oh?  "Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo stood up at the same time and asked, "What do you say in the call back?" "Nanjing Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Shanxi Provincial Chairman Yan Xishan called back one after another, expressing their agreement with our request for help. They have sent troops north and will be available soon.  Arrive at Pingjin and help us resist the Northeast Border Guards," the adjutant said truthfully.  Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo were overjoyed after hearing this and said: "That's great. In this way, Pingjin and Tianjin are saved, and so are we." "Yes, no."It was surprising that Yan Xishan and Chairman Chiang agreed so readily this time. No matter what their purpose was, as long as they could repel Zhang Xinghan's attack, and when the young marshal came back, everything would be easy to negotiate based on his relationship with Chairman Chiang.  Easy to discuss.  "He Zhuguo also nodded happily. "Yes.  "Yu Xuezhong nodded solemnly. …………………… Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry troops to bypass Changping silently, and then went straight to Peiping. At about two o'clock in the morning, the troops had arrived near Beisha River.  Bridge tanks. So Zhang Xinghan sent Guo Zhong to quickly find a bridge and prepare to cross the river. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and gunfire suddenly came from the direction where Guo Zhong led the search. (To be continued. If you like this.

    Zhang Xinghan and the cavalrymen who were resting on the shore were shocked when they heard the sound. They looked along the sound and saw loud gunshots and flames not far away.  "Go and see what's going on right away, what's going on." Zhang Xinghan ordered a cavalry battalion commander behind him.  "Yes!" The cavalryman responded, and immediately led several of his men on horseback and galloped away.  The gunfire in front became more intense, and not long after, the previous battalion commander took away a cavalryman and rushed over in a panic.  The cavalryman dismounted and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Report to the commander, an enemy force with an unknown identity was found two kilometers ahead. The number is about a thousand people. Battalion Commander Guo and his brothers were ambushed by them. Battalion Commander Guo and his brothers were ambushed by them.  He was shot and injured. Our battalion commander is currently directing his brothers to fight with him. ""What?" Zhang Xinghan was immediately panicked when he heard that Guo Zhong was shot and injured. Over the years, Guo Zhong has been loyal to him and has been serving as his guard battalion commander.  As a personal attendant, the relationship between the two is no longer as simple as superior and subordinate. Zhang Xinghan has long regarded him as a brother.  "How is Zhongzi doing?" "He is currently unconscious." The cavalryman lowered his head and replied.  Zhang Xinghan was filled with grief and anger. He immediately pulled out his Longquan sword, turned around and shouted coldly: "Brothers, rush up to me, no matter who they are, chop him into pieces alive!"  He swung forward, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and spurred the horse forward with his sword.  "Kill!" More than 5,000 cavalry athletes drew their sharp sabers, held them high and followed Zhang Xinghan, sweeping forward like a flood that broke a dike.  When Zhang Xinghan led his troops to the battlefield, Guo Zhong, the cavalry battalion commander and more than a hundred of his subordinates had been forced to the embankment on the river bank. Many corpses of Northeast Frontier Army cavalry and war horses were lying on the road along the river bank.  .  “Apparently they had just been ambushed.  At this time, the unknown armed force that ambushed them was launching an attack on the river embankment. The two sides exchanged fierce fire. The submachine guns carried by the Northeast Border Guard Cavalry exerted great power at this moment.  The dense firepower network suppressed the unknown armed forces.  Zhang Xinghan took the lead, his eyes breathing fire, leading his subordinates to rush towards the unknown armed forces.  "Kill me!" Zhang Xinghan rode his horse like flying, and in an instant he reached the unknown armed force.  A soldier wearing a gray military uniform was the first to appear in front of his horse.  In the dark night, Zhang Xinghan didn't even care to identify who the opponent was. He slashed out with the Longquan sword in his hand, and a head was thrown high in the air. When Zhang Xinghan's horse roared past, blood spurted out from the broken neck.  .  Zhang Xinghan rode his horse and waved his sword, slashing left and right.  As if entering an uninhabited land, the soldiers standing in front of him were chopped to death on the spot.  This group of enemy troops had less than a thousand men, and their equipment was very poor. They didn't even have a few machine guns. Five thousand cavalry suddenly came to attack, and they were caught off guard while they were besieging the river embankment.  They were defeated in an instant and were submerged in the raging sea of ??cavalry.  The cavalry of the Northeast Frontier Guards have been recharging their energy for a long time, and have not been on the battlefield for a long time. When they see the enemy, they are as excited as bloodthirsty sharks, and they are extremely ferocious, wherever the horses pass by.  Arms and heads rose and fell one after another with screams.  Because it was dark, after the main force of this group of unknown armed forces was annihilated, some people still managed to escape through the darkness.  After the fierce battle, Zhang Xinghan rode his horse to the river embankment, where rescuers were already rescuing Guo Zhong.  "Zhongzi, where are you?" Zhang Xinghan dismounted and shouted urgently.  "Commander, our camp is here." A soldier from the guard camp said with a cry.  Zhang Xinghan heard the sound and ran over, only to see Guo Zhong shot in the chest. His uniform was dyed red with blood. Two doctors and nurses were giving him first aid.  "How is he?" Zhang Xinghan asked sadly.  One of the doctors said to Zhang Xinghan with a solemn expression: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Battalion Commander Guo is seriously injured and must operate as soon as possible, otherwise otherwise I'm afraid he won't survive tonight." "Then operate immediately." Zhang Xinghan revealed in an anxious tone.  There is no doubt about it.  The doctor looked embarrassed and said: "But, sir, the conditions here in the wilderness are too simple!" "What do you need? I will satisfy you and perform the operation here. Hurry! Save me at all costs.  Live him!" Zhang Xinghan said with red eyes.  "Yes." The doctor noticed the chill in Zhang Xinghan's tone, trembled quickly, and nodded repeatedly.  Beishahe is less than 20 kilometers away from Beiping City. The gunfire and fierce fighting here alerted the Northeast Army garrison on the Mentougou defense line north of Beiping.  Someone had already reported this unexpected information to ?Xuezhong and others, at the same time, the garrison here also sent scouts to investigate the situation.  In Beiping City, the Young Marshal's Mansion.  Yu Xuezhong had just fallen asleep and not long after that, he was woken up by the aide-de-camp. When he came to the conference room, he found He Zhuguo, who was still on duty, pacing back and forth anxiously.  "Brother He, what happened?" Yu Xuezhong asked in confusion.  "Brother Yu, you are finally here. Our army garrison in Mentougou has just reported that there are intensive gunshots and shouts of killing coming from the direction of Shahe Town. The situation is unknown. I think it is possible that the enemy troops have come in." He Zhuguoyi  Seeing Yu Xuezhong, he immediately said hurriedly.  "What? Shahe Town?" Yu Xuezhong was shocked when he heard this. His sleepiness was instantly swept away. He came to the map, stared at it and said, "What's going on? Didn't the 53rd Army deploy two troops in Changping?"  Regiment? Why didn't they give any warning?" He Zhuguo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know about this. We don't know the specific situation yet, but I have ordered the Mentougou garrison to send scouts to investigate.  No matter what, if something unexpected happens in Shahe Town, we have to be more vigilant, just in case." Yu Xuezhong nodded and said: "I will immediately move the 111th Division's defense line to Motougou to strengthen the defense line.  At the same time, we immediately sent electricity to Wan Fulin and asked him to send a message to the Changping garrison to be alert to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. "He Zhuguo nodded and said: "That's very good, very good." Direction of Shahe Town, on the bank of the river.  In a small forest in Guangzhou, Zhang Xinghan personally set up lanterns to provide lighting for doctors to perform operations.  After more than half an hour of intense surgery, the two doctors and several nurses were already sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked through.  With the crisp sound of a bullet falling into the plate, the leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Chief Officer, the operation is completed, but Battalion Commander Guo lost too much blood. Can he survive?  Let’s see if he can survive the night.” Before Zhang Xinghan could say anything, a cavalryman on horseback arrived in the woods, dismounted, ran quickly, stood up and saluted: “Commander, our reconnaissance company encountered a group of soldiers.  The Northeast Army scouts came from the direction of Mentougou and fought fiercely with them, killing thirteen people, but a few of them escaped due to their familiarity with the terrain." Zhang Xinghan looked stern when he heard this, turned to the doctor and said:  "I will leave a company to protect you. You can move Guo Zhong to a safe place as soon as possible and save him no matter what, otherwise I will ask you, do you hear me?" "Yes, yes!" Doctors and nurses  I have never seen Zhang Xinghan get so angry with anyone, and he nodded cautiously.  Zhang Xinghan then turned around and led his men away. After leaving the woods, Zhang Xinghan got on his horse and said to the previous cavalryman: "The sound of gunfire here has alerted the enemy. In order to prevent the enemy from being prepared, I now order the entire army to move out immediately."  , attack Beiping City!" "Yes!" The cavalry responded with a bang, got on their horses and took the order, and quickly conveyed Zhang Xinghan's order.  During the time of operating on Guo Zhong, the cavalry had already found the location of the Shahe Bridge.  Zhang Xinghan led five thousand cavalry across the Shahe River in a mighty manner and headed towards the Summer Palace.  ??Beiping City, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  “Ding, ring, ring… the rapid ringing of the phone resounded throughout the war room.  An adjutant hurriedly walked over to answer the phone, but he didn't listen to a few words on the phone, and his expression changed drastically.  Before he could put down the phone in time, he turned to Xuezhong and He Zhuguo and said, "General, no good, our army's scouts reported that a large number of cavalry were found in the north of the city, and they are attacking Beiping City." "What? Cavalry?" Yu Xuezhong  The two stood up after hearing the sound with shocked expressions.  The adjutant nodded and said, "Well, they are the cavalry. According to the scout report, they are large in number, estimated to be no less than six or seven thousand." When Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo heard this, they immediately took a breath of air. Six or seven thousand cavalry  , how did such a unit appear quietly on the outskirts of Beiping?  Before Xuezhong and the others recovered from the shock, another communications soldier ran in quickly with a telegram in his hand. He ignored the salute and said to the two of them: "Two sirs, something serious has happened. A large number of Northeastern border guards have been spotted in the direction of Shunyi."  The tanks and infantry units have crossed the Chaobai River and are advancing towards Peiping. "What?" Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo looked shocked, and their mouths were almost full of duck eggs.  "Tank? Infantry?" He Zhuguo asked tremblingly, "What's going on? Where did they come from? What does the 53rd Army do for food?" The communications soldier lowered his head and was speechless, remaining silent.  "It's over, it's over. I'm afraid Peiping won't be able to hold it this time  "Yu Xuezhong sighed sadly. He Zhuguo suddenly said: "Brother Yu, we can't just abandon Beiping City. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army and Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army have agreed to reinforce us and are now on their way north.  We can’t give up easily. Once Peking is lost, Shanhaiguan and Miyun will be damned.  Since the 53rd Army was not aware of it, it means that the enemy troops that sneaked into the suburbs of Peiping must be only small groups. We immediately mobilized the 4th, 5th, and 6th Cavalry Divisions to return to Peiping. As long as we hold on until dawn, the three cavalry divisions can  Arrive there, and then let the 53rd Army deploy troops to attack from both sides. There is still a chance for everything!

    Yu Xuezhong suddenly came to his senses and said: "Yes, we can't just give up. Communications Corps, immediately send a message to the 4th, 5th and 6th Cavalry Divisions and order them to rush to the aid of Beiping City immediately. At the same time, give me the 113th and 114th Divisions of the 51st Army."  Generate electricity and order them to go north quickly. " "Yes!" the communications soldier quickly bowed his head and left immediately.  After watching the communications troops leave, Yu Xuezhong turned to He Zhuguo and said: "Brother He, you stay and command all parties. I will personally lead the 118th Division out of the city to fight with the 111th Division against the offensive of the Northeast Frontier Army.  "Brother Yu, as the commander-in-chief, how can you risk your life and leave your post without permission?" He Zhuguo said.  Yu Xuezhong waved his hand to stop him and said: "Brother He, if this is the case, don't argue with me. The 111th Division and the 118th Division are my troops. Only by my personal command can they exert their greatest fighting will."  "He Zhuguo nodded, no longer insisting, and said seriously: "Then you must pay attention to safety." "Don't worry." Yu Xuezhong pulled the hem of his military uniform and said seriously: "I heard from the Northeast Border Guard.  The reputation has been around for a long time, so today I want to ask for advice from them. " Yu Xuezhong's order was quickly passed on. Several cavalry divisions stationed in the Pingjin area and the other two divisions of the 51st Army were shocked and set off overnight.  Leaving the original station, we quickly set off for Peiping without mentioning it.  ???????????In Huilongguan Town, ten kilometers away from the north gate of Beiping City, Zhang Xinghan's cavalry unit has already exchanged fire with a regiment of the 52nd Army and the 111th Division that were stationed here urgently.  This regiment entered Huilongguan in a hurry and had no time to build fortifications. Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan's troops were all cavalry. They relied on the buildings in the town to launch a fierce battle with the Northeastern Border Guards.  Seeing that his advancing troops were blocked, Zhang Xinghan, riding on his horse outside the town, pondered for a long time, turned around and asked: "Where are Sabli and the others now?" A communications officer quickly replied: "Fifteen minutes ago,  Division Commander Sa called. They have crossed the Chaobai River and are advancing at full speed towards Beiping City. They are now less than 20 kilometers northwest of the city. " "Give them a call and order Sabuli to lead his troops to attack Andingmen directly. I will lead the cavalry troops.  Contain and attract the enemy's attention here," Zhang Xinghan ordered coldly.  "Yes." The communications officer responded and immediately took the order to let his subordinates generate electricity.  A few minutes later, Zhang Xinghan slowly pulled out his Longquan sword that was already full of blood.  He ordered in a cold voice: "Order the troops to stop attacking immediately, bypass Huilongguan, and attack directly in the direction of Old Summer Palace." As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalry messenger rode away, and the order was quickly conveyed.  The cavalrymen of the Northeast Frontier Army who were attacking Huilongguan stopped their attack one after another and withdrew from the town.  Follow Zhang Xinghan to the west and go around Huilongguan in a roundabout way.  The Northeastern Army of the 111th Division in Huilongguan did not dare to leave the town buildings to intercept them, so they could only watch them go away like the wind and disappear into the night.  In the direction of Shunyi, on the official road about 19 kilometers away from Beiping City, Sabli led the main force consisting of two infantry regiments and a tank regiment and was rapidly advancing towards Peiping.  The first one was a tank company, because they appeared too suddenly.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan's cavalry attracted most of the attention of the Beiping City garrison.  Therefore, they continued to advance for more than ten kilometers without encountering any resistance.  It was not until the leading tank company came to the Wenyu River along the highway that they discovered that the bridge on the Wenyu River had been blown up. Countless Northeastern officers and soldiers had built fortifications on the south bank of the river and were ready.  The first one to fire was the light and heavy machine gun of the Northeastern Army on the south bank. In the dark night, the flames ejected from the muzzle of the machine gun were extremely dazzling.  The dense bullets hit the body of the No. 4 tank at the front of the vanguard tank company, and a series of sparks burst out.  The commander of the leading company immediately ordered his men to fire back, and the machine guns and tank guns on more than a dozen Panzer IV tanks opened fire.  The two sides launched a firefight across the river.  However, most of the Northeastern Army's bullets hit the armor of the tanks and failed to cause any substantial damage to the Northeastern Border Guards.  In turn, the Northeastern Border Guards’ intensive machine gun fire and artillery shells caused heavy casualties to the Northeastern Army.  Violent explosions sounded, and under the fire, from time to time Northeastern officers and soldiers flew up with their sandbag fortifications, and died before they even landed. ???????????????? Later.  Sabli led the main force of the tank regiment and the infantry regiment to arrive, and the tank regiment's own bridge-building tanks began to forcibly build the bridge under the cover of fierce firepower from the own tank troops.  The Northeastern Army on the south bank was suppressed by the intensive firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards, couldn't even lift their heads, let alone stop their bridge-building tanks from building the bridge.  Less than twenty minutes.  A steel bridge was erected right under the nose of the Northeastern Army, and dozens of Northeastern tanks suddenly rushed over with a rumble.  The Northeastern Army on the south bank had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops were unable to withstand the assault of the Northeastern Border Guard tanks.  Collapsed at the first touch, Sabli immediately led two main infantry regiments to cross the river one after another. The tank regiment pursued the defeated Northeastern Army in front and attacked forward.  The two infantry regiments followed up. Along the way, the tank regiment was invincible, continuously defeating and breaking through several temporary defense lines formed by the 118th Division of the Northeast Army, and approached the northwest section of the city wall of Beiping City.  In the city, Yu Xuezhong, who was commanding the troops to resist resolutely, had just arrived at Andingmen when he encountered the subordinates of the 118th Division who had retreated from outside the city.  A colonel commander staggered up the city wall with a gray face, and said to Xuezhong in a tearful voice: "Military seat, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. We are no match for them at all. The strength of our two regiments fell in less than half an hour."  They were scattered and defeated." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xuezhong pulled out his pistol, pointed it at his forehead and pulled the trigger.  With the sound of a gunshot, the colonel's eyes opened wide and he fell backwards.  "From now on, anyone who retreats without authorization or shakes the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!" Yu Xuezhong shouted sternly, holding up his pistol.  The officers present, including Du Jiwu, the commander of the 118th Division, all turned pale, and all of them were silent and frightened.  "Boomboom!" As soon as Yu Xuezhong finished speaking, there was a deafening sound of shelling outside the city, and several shells hit the city wall with a harsh whistling sound.  The expressions of Du Jiwu and others changed drastically, and they quickly guarded Yu Xuezhong.  By the light of the fire, Yu Xuezhong could vaguely see how many tanks outside the city were bombarding the city wall with their muzzles raised high.  "Everyone is ready to fight, don't worry about me!" Yu Xuezhong pushed away his men and shouted sternly.  "Yes." Du Jiwu and others responded loudly, and immediately took the order and left.  "Qiu" Du Jiwu and others had just left when a cannonball flew through the night sky with a piercing scream in the dark towards the top of the city where Yu Xuezhong was standing.  The two guards behind Yu Xuezhong were shocked. They shouted to the military commander to be careful, and quickly stepped forward and threw him to the ground.  "Boom" A huge explosion sounded around Yu Xuezhong, and scarlet fire rose from the ground, reflecting the night sky red.  Du Jiwu and others were stunned and shouted: "Military seat, military seat!" When Du Jiwu and several of his subordinates turned around and ran back, they saw that a wall not far from Yu Xuezhong had been blown out.  Big craters, broken masonry and shrapnel everywhere.  Two loyal guards lay on top of Yu Xuezhong. Du Jiwu and others were heartbroken. After moving the two blood-covered guards away, they found that the two guards had already died on the spot, and Yu Xuezhong was protected by them.  Zhong lies on the ground.  His back and one right leg were covered in blood, and the blood almost stained the ground red, as if he had passed out.  "Military seat!" Du Jiwu and others shouted, and hurriedly sent Yu Xuezhong off the city wall and went straight to the city.  Yu Xuezhong was hit by an artillery shell, and the news of his life or death spread like wildfire on the city wall. Those Northeastern officers and soldiers who were already frightened by the fierce artillery fire of the Northeastern border guards suddenly had no intention of fighting.  After Sabli ordered the two infantry regiments to formally launch a fierce attack, the Northeastern Army of the 118th Division on the top of the city was almost collapsed. In addition to the absence of division commander Du Jiwu, officers at all levels scrambled to escape.  Therefore, Sabuli led his troops to successfully break through the Anding Gate and enter the northwest area of ??Beiping City.  At the same time, in the north direction of the city, Zhang Xinghan led his cavalry to attack everywhere, beating the 111th Division of the Northeast Army until it was exhausted and miserable.  Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan’s troops are all cavalry, which is not conducive to fighting in the city, otherwise the 111th Division’s defense line would have collapsed long ago.  However, the 111th Division's defense soon collapsed as the northwest part of the city was captured and the news came that Commander-in-Chief Yu Xuezhong had been killed in action.  Knowing that Sabli had entered the city, Zhang Xinghan saw the opportunity and immediately ordered his troops to attack the city. Following the defeated army of the 111th Division, they chased them all the way and rushed towards the Forbidden City.  " In the city, at the Marshal's Mansion, He Zhuguo was also shocked by the news from the front line. "Yu Xuezhong was killed in battle?  "The news He Zhuguo received was obviously misinformed by frontline officers in the chaos. "Military seat, the west and north of the city have been captured by the northeastern border guards. Their tanks and cavalry have entered the city. We'd better withdraw as soon as possible.  "He Zhuguo's adjutant said anxiously. &nbsp; He Zhuguo's face was pale, as if he had lost his soul, and he waved to the adjutant: "Retreat, let's go to Tianjin." The adjutant quickly led a group of guards, escorted He Zhuguo into the car, and ran towards the south of the city.  He Zhuguo also withdrew, and Yu Xuezhong's whereabouts were unknown. The defeated troops of the 111th Division and the 118th Division in Beiping City were leaderless. Many people chose to surrender after being overtaken.  "More people left the city along the east and south of the city, and evacuated hastily to Langfang, Gu'an and other places.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 362: Strategy for Pingjin (9) Eighth Update

    The two divisions of the 51st Army were completely defeated, and Zhang Xinghan and Sabli led their troops to easily capture Beiping City.  In the chaos, Du Jiwu and others escorted the seriously injured Yu Xuezhong and followed the retreating army to withdraw from Beiping City.  In Zhang Xueliang’s young marshal’s mansion, Zhang Xinghan strode into the mansion with a Longquan sword and surrounded by a group of guards.  Arriving at the war room, the whole war room was in a mess. There were useless documents and combat maps everywhere that the defenders had not taken away when they retreated.  At this time, Sabli also arrived here and walked in quickly.  Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw that it was Sabuli. He couldn't help but smile and praise: "Old Sa, this battle was good. You are the first to win Peiping so smoothly."  Sabli quickly smiled humbly and said: "Commander, thank you very much. It's all thanks to you, Commander, that you attracted the attention of the enemy. Only in your humble position can you succeed by luck." At this time, Sabli and the others were not aware of their shelling, and they were lucky enough to hit the enemy.  Yu Xuezhong, which led to the collapse of the defenders, allowed them to break through the Northeast Army's city defenses so easily and invade the city.  "By the way, Lao Sa, you can't stop yet. I'll give you the tank regiment and the cavalry brigade. You immediately take them out of the city to pursue the enemy. Remember, anyone who surrenders will not be killed. Your mission is to move along the route.  I will pursue the highway to Langfang and finally block the southward escape route of the Tianjin enemy. I want to capture the main force of the Northeast Army from Shanhaiguan to Tianjin and Miyun in one go.  We can also get 50,000 new troops!" Zhang Xinghan arranged for Sabli.  Sabli stepped forward happily and responded: "Please rest assured, sir, I will leave my humble post immediately." Commanding cavalry is his old profession, and his cavalry command ability is even better than Zhang Xinghan's.  After Sabli took the order and left, Zhang Xinghan ordered the communications troops: "Immediately notify Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo of the news that Beiping City has been captured by our army, and order them to immediately storm Shanhaiguan overnight. Once the enemy forces in Shanhaiguan know that Beiping has fallen, they will surely  The morale of the army is in chaos. We must not give them a chance to escape. In addition, we must send a message to Ge Quanwu to contain the main force of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army. Finally, send a message to the Chief of Staff.  Happy, and asked him to arrange an airborne brigade to land in Jinghai County early tomorrow morning to cut off the Tianjin defenders' southward escape. " "Yes!" After writing down the instructions one by one, the communications soldier responded with a bang and turned around to take the order and leave.  The first to receive news of the fall of Peking was Wan Fulin's troops stationed in Miyun and Huairou.  Because he is closest to Peking.  Moreover, before the fall of Peiping, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo sent him telegrams to inform him of the appearance of a small unit of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in the suburbs of Peiping.  In Miyun County, Wan Fulin was furious: "What a bastard. Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo, these two losers, two divisions couldn't hold a Peiping city. They couldn't even hold on for a fucking night. What a waste."  There was no awareness that the Northeast Border Guards had secretly infiltrated because of their own negligence.  After he finished scolding, Yang Zhengcai, the commander of the 108th Division beside him, said cautiously: "Military seat, now that Beiping has been lost, Shanhaiguan and even Tianjin and other areas are definitely in danger. We can't stay here anymore, otherwise once the northeast of Shanhaiguan  The main force of the border guards broke through Shanhaiguan. We can't escape at that time." Wan Fulin suddenly came to his senses and said anxiously: "Then tell me, where can we retreat?" "  Our current plan is to withdraw to the west. No matter what, we will evacuate Miyun and Huairou first," Yang Zhengdao said.  "However, the Northeastern Border Guards in front of us may have gotten the news. If we take the initiative to evacuate the city defense, wouldn't it be in line with their wishes?" Wan Fulin said with some worry, obviously he was worried about the Northeast Border Guards' field operations.  Have a clear understanding of abilities.  Yang Zhengzheng explained: "Military seat, didn't you notice? The Northeastern Border Guards attacking us don't have tanks." "No tanks?" Wan Fulin couldn't believe it. The Northeastern Border Guards didn't have tanks?  Yang Zhizhi nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, there are indeed no tanks. I have observed this from yesterday's attack. They never used tanks from beginning to end. If they have tanks, there is no reason not to use them. You  "Really?" Wan Fulin nodded in disbelief.  Yang Zhengyi immediately struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Moreover, military seat, the sky is not completely bright yet. We can use the cover of night to evacuate at this time, and can also avoid being attacked by the air force of the Northeast Frontier Force. It is the best time to retreat.  , Military Commander, please give the order as soon as possible. If the delay continues, our entire 53rd?Tens of thousands of brothers will have to answer here.  " Wan Fulin was moved by Yang Zhengyi's persuasion. He immediately slapped the table and said: "Give power to each division and the whole army will retreat westward. We will gather in Yu County and Guangling County.  "    "yes!  " Yang Zhengzhi quickly bowed his head in response, turned around and left as ordered. Wan Fulin was quite kind. Before the troops departed, he asked the communications corps to send a copy to the 57th Army in Shanhaiguan and Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division.  A message was sent to inform the 57th Army Headquarters in Shanhaiguan that the Taodong Fan was very angry about the disastrous failure of the night attack they organized. It turned out that Niu Erzhu and others had made full preparations according to Zhang Xinghan's instructions.  The Northeastern Army took advantage of the night to launch a counterattack. As a result, Taodong Fan's carefully selected two thousand night attack troops all crashed into the iron plate. They lost more than half and returned in defeat. Including the battle losses in the afternoon, it took less than ten hours.  In a short period of time, Taodong Fan lost nearly two regiments of troops. How could he not be angry? Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others tried to comfort him, but they also had a deep understanding of the power of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Just when Taodong Fan's mood became a little calmer and his anger subsided, a communications soldier ran in almost crawling with tears and saluted Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others: "  Sir!  Oh no, Beiping City has fallen!  "    "What?  "Liu Duoquan and others were all shocked when they heard this. Taodongfan, who had just calmed down, walked over, grabbed the signal soldier's lapel and asked: "Where did you get the news? How could Beiping City be lost?  " The communications soldier was a little slurred in speech, and said tremblingly: "Report to the commander, this, this telegram, the telegram was sent by the 52nd Army. They stated in the telegram that Beiping City has been captured by the enemy and they have begun to evacuate.  We will also make plans as soon as possible.  "    "What?  53rd Army?  Taodong Fan was shocked and turned his attention to Liu Duoquan and Zhang Tingshu. "It's a simple matter. Just call Peking Power Station and ask, and you will know the authenticity."  "Liu Duoquan forced himself to remain calm, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, which showed how shocked he was. Before the communications soldier left, another communications soldier rushed over. With a mournful face, he saluted everyone and reported: "Everyone  Sir, Junzuo He is calling.  "    "How to say?  " Zhang Tingshu asked quickly. The signal soldier said with tears: "The military commander said in the message that Peiping has been lost and Commander-in-Chief Yu was unfortunately killed in action. He asked us to evacuate Shanhaiguan as soon as possible to avoid being encircled by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  " As soon as the signal corps said this, everyone was stunned for an instant, and their faces were ashen. " Peking was actually lost? What's even more surprising is that Commander-in-Chief Yu Xuezhong was killed in action? This news came like a bolt from the blue to them.  The description couldn't be more appropriate. If Beiping City as the rear area was lost, their persistence in Shanhaiguan would be meaningless. In the shock, Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others no longer cared about how Beiping City was lost.  After a long silence, their professional military qualities allowed them to regain their composure, and Liu Duoquan said: "Everyone, the situation is critical. We can no longer stay here and must evacuate south immediately.  " Zhang Tingshu nodded, but then raised a question: "It is necessary to retreat to the south, but where should we retreat?  Heading to Tianjin?  Or go to Miyun to join the 53rd Army?  Liu Duoquan said: "Since Wan Fulin sent us a telegram, it means that he got the news before us. With his nature, he would never take the risk of waiting for us in Miyun and Huairou, and he would definitely take the lead and run away first."  Therefore, it is impossible for us to go to Miyun. The road is far away and full of dangers. Once the Northeastern Border Guards break through Shanhaiguan and pursue us from behind, and with the withdrawal of the 53rd Army, its troops from the direction of Jehol will be able to station in Miyun and Huairou and cut us off.  the way forward.  By then our army will be unable to advance or retreat, and the only outcome will be that the whole army will be annihilated.  " "Then what should we do?  "Taodong Fan was already in a state of confusion, and the panic was only visible on his face as he asked eagerly. "Go to Tangshan and retreat to Tianjin!  Liu Duoquan pondered for a moment and said. "Going to Tianjin?"  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan were both shocked and said, "Is it possible to go to Tianjin?"  " "I don't know the specific situation of Beiping City now, but now Tianjin is still in the hands of our army. When we retreat from Tianjin, what we are betting on is that the Northeast Army that captured Beiping is not strong enough to attack Tianjin, let alone intercept us.  Sixty thousand troops retreated south.  As long as we pass Tianjin, we can evacuate to Cangzhou, and it will be safe then.  "Liu Duoquan explained. Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others nodded, expressing their agreement with Liu Duoquan's suggestion.Discuss.  As soon as the decision was made, everyone issued orders to each division to secretly prepare to evacuate Shanhaiguan without mentioning it.  At the same time, inside the temporary headquarters of the 200th Division outside Shanhaiguan.  Huang Xiansheng woke up Liu Jianguo, Xing Zhanqing and others and gathered them together. He excitedly said to everyone: "Everyone, I have great news for you. Beiping City has been captured by our headquarters!" "Huh?" Liu Jianguo and others  People were shocked when they heard this, and suddenly felt no sleepiness at all.  "Is this true?" "Yes, is it true?" Everyone asked eagerly.  "Of course it's true. This is an urgent telegram just sent by the headquarters. He ordered us to immediately launch a fierce attack on Shanhaiguan to prevent the enemy troops inside the pass from taking the opportunity to escape!" Huang Xiansheng nodded while holding a telegram.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

    "Haha, that's great. I admire the president with all my heart. I am convinced and admire you!" Liu Jianguo said overjoyed.  "Yes, we actually captured the city of Beiping and directly captured the rear areas of the grandsons in the pass." Xing Zhanqing laughed loudly.  "Without further delay, you all will immediately lead your troops to launch a fierce attack on Shanhaiguan. After breaking through, advance towards Tianjin with all your strength." Huang Xiansheng immediately ordered.  "Yes." Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and immediately turned around and left.  At the same time, Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others left a regiment of troops inside and behind Shanhaiguan to fight to the death, and then each led their troops to retreat toward Tianjin overnight.  The main force and all friendly forces were all evacuated, leaving only one infantry regiment as cannon fodder. One can imagine the mentality of the regiment commander and battalion company commanders.  Almost as soon as the Northeastern Border Guards outside the pass launched an attack, the regiment leader abandoned his troops and took the lead in escaping with a few of his confidants.  Without the regiment leader, the Northeastern Army of this regiment was leaderless and quickly fell apart. Some fled and some surrendered.  I couldn’t even hold on for an hour.  “In the final analysis, this battle is still a civil war between the Northeast Army and the Northeast Army, just like a family fighting between brothers.  It’s not a war between different ethnic groups like the Japanese. It’s either you die or I die.  They and the Northeastern Border Guards on the offensive side are brothers who have the same origin. All the officials have fled, and it is impossible for them to continue to resist and serve as cannon fodder when they are soldiers.  What's more, the majority of grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army have long been coveted for the weapons and equipment, logistical supplies and military pay of the Northeast Border Guard.  Withdrew to the pass and lost the Northeastern base, Marshal Zhang has lost his foundation. The payment of military salary depends on the support of the Nanjing government. The current treatment of the Northeastern Army is far from what it was before.  The vast number of officers and soldiers in the Northeast have left their homes and are wandering aimlessly like rootless duckweeds in these troubled times.  There is a home that cannot be returned to.  If it weren’t for the military orders above their heads, they would have taken off their military uniforms, thrown down their weapons and returned to the Northeast.  Now, as long as you surrender to the New Northeast Army, I heard that not only can you get re-employment, but you can also return to your hometown to see your parents and relatives.  What reason do they have for not surrendering?  Therefore, the Northeastern Army left behind by Liu Duoquan and others collapsed so quickly.  Their rapid rout enabled the various units of the Northeastern Frontier Army to quickly break through Shanhaiguan, cross the pass, and pursue the defeated troops of the Northeastern Army.  On the way of pursuit, you may encounter stragglers of the Northeast Army who deliberately fall behind and become deserters at any time.  As soon as they saw the tanks of the Northeast Border Guard, they were pursuing them.  They all raised their guns and knelt down to surrender. Like the rear troops, they no longer wanted to follow Marshal Zhang and wander away from home.  They all wanted to go home, so the stragglers and deserters met one after another along the way.  In order to annihilate the main force of the Northeast Army, the tank troops in front did not care about accepting these surrendered prisoners, leaving them to the main infantry who followed, and continued to pursue them on their own.  At the same time, Ge Quanwu's new army division in the direction of Miyun and Huairou also received orders from Zhang Xinghan.  In order to contain Wan Fulin's main force from evacuating at night, Ge Quanwu immediately ordered each regiment to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of them.  Wan Fulin's troops had already evacuated the city wall at this time. Ge Quanwu's attacking troops missed the attack, but their traces were soon discovered.  Turn around and come in pursuit.  A strange and funny scene happened. The 53rd Army, which had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and combat power, only had six infantry regiments of new recruits chasing after them like a duck. They were soon chased to pieces and completely defeated.  Wan Fulin, his subordinate Liu Zhengzheng and other division commanders each abandoned their troops and fled for their lives in the rebel army.  The main force of the 53rd Army was leaderless, communication between superiors and subordinates was interrupted, and many troops were overtaken in panic.  They had no choice but to surrender to Ge Quanwu's troops one after another.  When the sky was bright and the sun was rising in the distant eastern sky, Sabli led the cavalry and tank regiment to finally catch up with the remnants of the 51st Army that had withdrawn from Peiping City and was retreating towards Tianjin in the Langfang area.  They also encountered two other infantry divisions of the 51st Army and a cavalry division that came for reinforcements.  Since Peiping has been captured, these Northeastern Army reinforcements have been affected by our own defeated troops. In addition, Sabli's tank regiment has unrivaled assault capabilities on the plains.  With the slightest contact between the two sides, these Northeastern troops collapsed at the first touch and turned around and fled towards Tianjin.  Sabli led his troops to pursue them with all their might.  During this period, the other two cavalry divisions of the Northeast Army that were ordered to return for reinforcements learned that Peiping had been lost. Under the leadership of their division commanders, they attacked Zhuo without permission.Withdrew in the direction of Zhouzhou and Gu'an.  In Peiping City, in view of the huge gains made at the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang last time, Zhang Xinghan led a team of guards to ransack Marshal Zhang's home in Peiping again.  The harvest was actually higher than the last house raid in Shenyang. When Zhang Xinghan lamented that Marshal Zhang had exploited so much money, he waved his hand and asked the guards to empty it all.  Zhang Xinghan was smoking a cigarette and watching with a smile as his subordinates moved out boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jewelry one by one.  A communications soldier walked over quickly, saluted him and reported: "Report, Commander, I just received a telegram from the 200th Division, the New Soldier Division, and Commander Sabli." "Oh? How are they doing?  "Zhang Xinghan turned his head and asked with interest.  "The 200th Division, the 203rd Division and the Second Tank Division successfully broke through Shanhaiguan, and the Northeast Army fled across the board. Currently, the above-mentioned units are launching a comprehensive pursuit and have gained a lot. The telegram from the New Army Division can also be regarded as a good news. Division Commander Ge Quanwu reported in the telegram  , the 53rd Army has been defeated, and each regiment of their division has captured a large number of prisoners. The pursuit troops led by Division Commander Sabli also defeated the enemy's reinforcements in Langfang and have chased towards Tianjin across Langfang. " Zhang Xinghan had a cigarette in his mouth.  , looked up at the sky, and said in deep thought: "It's already dawn. Power the air force and take off immediately to assist our army in attacking Tianjin." Call Sabli back. His mission is to penetrate into the Jinghai County area south of Tianjin and stop it.  The Northeastern troops who escaped from Tianjin and Shanhaiguan fled south, so they must be fast and rush to Jinghai before the enemy decides to abandon Tianjin. They should not be reluctant to fight along the way. In addition, they should send electricity to Huang Xiansheng, Liu Jianguo, and Xing Zhanqing to order them.  Pursue with all our strength. Try to encircle and annihilate the enemy in Tianjin City. All Northeastern troops who surrender with their guns will not be tortured and killed, and all prisoners will be given preferential treatment!  He saluted again, turned around and took the order.  Zhang Xinghan’s order was quickly conveyed to Gao Zhihang, who immediately ordered the air forces of Jinzhou and Dalian to take off.  With the addition of the Air Force.  The defeat of the Northeastern Army made matters worse.  By the afternoon, Sabuli led his troops to capture Jingjinghai County in time before the Tianjin Northeastern Army defenders evacuated, cutting off the Tianjin defenders' southward escape route.  At this time, there are still two and a half infantry divisions and more than half of the cavalry divisions of the Northeast Army in Tianjin, totaling about 30,000 to 40,000 people.  From the direction of Shanhaiguan, the defeated troops of the 57th Army, the Independent 105th Division and the Independent 106th Division are still coming.  The defeat of the 57th Army and the Independent 105th Division also led to the defeat of the Independent 106th Division stationed in the Tangshan area. The nearly 70,000 troops of the six divisions were defeated like mountains, scrambling for the first place, and fled to Tianjin in a swarm.  More than 50,000 Northeastern border guards rode behind in military trucks, driving tanks and aircraft in the sky to pursue them.  The situation of the battle can be imagined.  By the evening of that day, the pursuing troops had already crossed the Ninghe River, and more than 40,000 Northeastern soldiers were killed and wounded by the prisoners.  Including the previous battle losses and those who fled on the way, the total strength of the Northeast Army that finally retreated to Tianjin City did not exceed 30,000.  That’s it.  The number of Northeastern troops in Tianjin City has reached 60,000.  Due to the disordered organization of the various units, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the generals had no fighting spirit, so they did not even hold on to the outer field defensive positions.  Then they all evacuated into Tianjin city.  For a time, some of the main streets in Tianjin were overcrowded and filled with disgraced people.  The dejected officers and soldiers of the Northeast.  The pursuing army composed of Xing Zhanqing’s Second Tank Division and the tank regiments of the 200th and 203rd Division followed the Northeastern Army to the outskirts of Tianjin, and instantly surrounded the city of Tianjin on three sides with the Sabli Division in Jinghai County.  At this point, in addition to evacuating by sea, the Northeastern Army in Tianjin has become a turtle in a jar.  In the garrison headquarters in Tianjin City, under the murky lights, He Zhuguo and others who had withdrawn from Tianjin, Liu Duoquan and Zhang Tingshu and others who had withdrawn from Shanhaiguan, all had their faces as dark as water and remained silent.  The atmosphere at the scene was extremely silent and depressing.  Sitting in the headquarters, they could already vaguely hear the gunshots and booming cannons coming from outside the city from time to time.  Liu Duoquan really couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere at the scene. He looked up at He Zhuguo and others and said, "Commander He, you are the biggest here. Please tell me, what should we do next?" He Zhuguo heard this.  He said with a sad face: "What else can we do? Now the Northeastern Border Guards have chased outside the city and surrounded Tianjin on three sides. We have no way to retreat. There are only two roads in front of us. First, fight to the end, and second  Two, surrender to them.Decline?  "Liu Duoquan stood up immediately and said unwillingly: "We shoulder the great trust of the young commander, how can we surrender to Zhang Xinghan easily?  Moreover, we still have at least 60,000 troops under our command, so we are not without the strength to fight.  " Zhang Tingshu looked at his immediate superior, He Zhuguo, and whispered to Liu Duoquan: "Commander Liu, according to reliable information, General Wan Fulin's 53rd Army also collapsed.  We are left.  " "Wan Fulin has collapsed. We still have two cavalry divisions south of Peiping, plus Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, the Central Army and even Han Fuqu's Shandong Army. As long as we can hold on to their arrival, we can turn defeat into victory!  "Liu Duoquan said unwillingly.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 364: Attacking Pingjin (11)

    "Commander Liu, things are not as simple as you think. Since your defeat at Shanhaiguan, not only have all divisions suffered heavy losses, but most importantly, our only three artillery brigades have also been wiped out. All our units have been severely weakened and reduced in strength.  Seriously, although the military strength seems to be large, in fact, the organizational structure is broken, and the combat effectiveness cannot even be used at one-third of the usual level. Another point is the reinforcements. If the Jinsui Army, Shandong Army and the Central Army know that Beiping has been conquered by the Northeast.  The border guards fell and Shanhaiguan was also breached. Less than one-third of our army of more than 100,000 was trapped in Tianjin Gucheng. "Do you think they will continue to go north to rescue us?" He Zhuguo sighed.  The corner of Liu Duoquan's mouth moved. Although he wanted to refute, he was unable to do so. Indeed, in the retreat from Shanhaiguan, each of their divisions had too much to take care of themselves. The three artillery brigades with the least mobility and the slowest all became the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's  The prisoners, three artillery brigades, the only asset the Northeast Army had now, were wiped out without firing a single shot, giving the Northeast Border Guard an advantage.  And what He Zhuguo said is reasonable. Once the current situation in the Pingjin area is known, the Shanxi-Sui Army, Shandong Army and the Central Army will definitely hesitate to move forward.  As for relieving the siege of Tianjin, defeating Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Frontier Army, and saving the 60,000-strong Northeastern Army, that's a no-brainer.  Not to mention whether the Jinsui Army and the Central Army have this ability, even if they can do it, they will definitely stagnate, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits for themselves.  Thinking of this, Liu Duoquan couldn't help but lowered his head and sat back in his seat.  Taodong Fan had a bad temper. Seeing that everyone was silent again, he suddenly said anxiously: "Military seat, Commander Liu, you guys can tell us, what should we do? The Northeastern Border Guards are all outside the city and may attack at any time.  City." He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan both looked embarrassed and obviously couldn't come up with any good ideas.  At this time.  The commander of the Independent 106th Division, Shen Ke, who suffered a tragic defeat from the 57th Army and the Independent 105th Division, looked around and said: "Commanders, Commander He, I have something to say, I don't know if it is feasible or not." He Zhuguo and Liu  Duo Quan and others all looked up at him after hearing this. He Zhuguo raised his hand and said, "Mr. Shen, you can tell us any ideas and methods you have, and we can all refer to them." Shen Ke nodded and said:  "Everyone, we are in a situation just now. Commander Liu and Commander He have made a detailed analysis, so I won't elaborate too much. What I want to say is that we are now surrounded on three sides, and the sea road is impassable.  It can be said that we are in a desperate situation. In order to avoid the loss of more innocent lives, I suggest that we negotiate with Zhang Xinghan and sign a ceasefire agreement. ""Peace talks? Do you mean surrender?" Liu Duoquan asked with a stern expression.  "It can't be considered a surrender. Everyone here, Shen himself and the more than 60,000 soldiers we have left now. We are originally soldiers from the Northeast. It is also our Northeast Army that is besieging the city now. If we can reach a reconciliation with Zhang Xinghan, we can form a joint force.  The new Northeastern Army can not only avoid military disasters, but also allow all our soldiers to return to their hometowns and reunite with their families, why wouldn't we do it?" Shen Ke explained calmly.  His words caused the other generals and commanders present to ponder, but Liu Duoquan suddenly stood up.  Angrily, he pointed at Shen Ke's nose and cursed: "Shen Ke, you fucking want us to surrender. You want to betray the young marshal." "So what if we surrender? Is there anything you can do? Now we  If they don't surrender, then they will all jump into the sea." Shen Ke also became angry and responded tit for tat.  "Damn it, you white-eyed wolf, I'll kill you!" Liu Duoquan was furious and was about to draw his gun.  Shen Ke also refused to give in: "Come on, let's see if I'm afraid of you!" He Zhuguo, Zhang Tingshu and others hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade the two. He Zhuguo shouted loudly: "Stop, everyone, what a shame. What we need now is unity.  "It's not an internal fight!" "Yes, Mr. Liu, don't be too angry. What Mr. Shen just said is just a suggestion. We can still discuss it," Zhang Tingshu advised in a calm tone.  "Hmph, anyway, even if I jump into the sea, I will never surrender to Zhang Xinghan, let alone betray the young marshal." Liu Duoquan snorted coldly, glared at Shen Ke with hatred, turned around and walked away.  He Zhuguo, Zhang Tingshu and others called him, but he ignored them and left without looking back.  "Huh, stupid loyalty." Shen Ke snorted disdainfully: "Everyone, if Marshal Zhang is really serious about resisting Japan, why would we do this? What Shen just suggested is to find a way out for everyone and more than 60,000 brothers. Think about it.  , whether it is Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng, Feng Zhanhai, Xing Zhanqing, etc., aren't they all the young marshal's old subordinates?Is Xinghan's subordinates prospering?  They were all soldiers from the Northeast. In the hands of Zhang Xinghan, they became a victorious army that even the Japanese and Russians were frightened by.  Why have we become cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are cowards despised by our countrymen?  Everyone should think clearly. Although holding peaceful negotiations with Zhang Xinghan now is equivalent to surrender, it is essentially different. If we surrender now, we will be the heroes of the uprising in front of the battle. We dare not say that we will be reused. At least there will be no harm to us.  Punishment?  We must not wait until Tianjin City is breached before we surrender. By then it will be too late.  " Shen Ke's words aroused the commotion and resonance in the hearts of all the Northeastern officers and soldiers present. They wanted to agree to Shen Ke's proposal. But seeing that He Zhuguo, the leader of the crowd, did not nod, and did not dare to make any independent opinions. He was eager to express his position.  Instead, they all turned their attention to He Zhuguo. Facing the eager gazes of everyone, He Zhuguo pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is of great importance, so I can consider it.  " "Commander He, without further ado, we must get in touch with the Northeast Border Defense Force as soon as possible, or at least postpone their offensive.  "Shen Ke said anxiously. He Zhuguo nodded and said: "Let's do this, Commander Shen, you immediately send a message to Zhang Xinghan, inform them of our wishes, and ask them to give us some time to consider and postpone the attack.  " Shen Ke nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away.  " After saying that, Shen Ke turned around and left. After watching him leave, He Zhuguo looked at everyone present and asked, "Brothers, what do you think?  " Seeing that He Zhuguo had agreed to contact Shen Ke and Zhang Xinghan, everyone expressed their opinions: "Military seat, Commander Shen's suggestion is the most correct way out, we agree.  He Zhuguo nodded sadly in his heart and said: "I understand what you are thinking. You guys stay here for a while. I will come back when I go."  ” …………………………… In Beiping City, after finishing the raid on Marshal Zhang’s mansion, Zhang Xinghan was in a very good mood. He kept lamenting that being the King of Northeast China and the King of Pingjin was so great, and there was so much oil and water. At this moment  , the communications soldier hurried in with a telegram in his hand, and saluted Zhang Xinghan before he entered the door: "Report to the commander, we have just received an urgent telegram from the Tianjin garrison.  "    "Um?  Tianjin?  "Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised. The communications soldier walked in and nodded: "Yes, the person who generated the electricity was Shen Ke, the commander of the 106th Independent Division of the Northeast Army in the city. This is the content of the message.  " After saying that, the communications soldier stepped forward and handed the message in his hand to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan took the message and read it again. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then told the communications soldier: "You call them back immediately and tell them that I believe it.  Their sincerity, but before dawn tomorrow, people in Tianjin must go out of the city to undergo reorganization. I promise that no one will be killed, and all officers and soldiers can be reorganized into the combat order of our Northeast Border Defense Force, and their treatment will be the same as that of the active troops of our Northeast Border Defense Force.  But if they don’t leave the city and surrender before the time comes, then don’t blame our aircraft and artillery for being ruthless.  "    "yes.  "The communications soldiers bowed their heads, and turned to lead the leader   After He Zhuguo came out of the headquarters, under the leadership of the guards, he came to a private house.  Liu Duoquan's temporary division headquarters. A group of officers and soldiers from the independent 105th Division were guarding the house. Seeing He Zhuguo's arrival, several officers and soldiers guarding the door stood up and saluted. Liu Duoquan got the news and came out in person.  After the two of them entered the room, Liu Duoquan said to He Zhuguo angrily: "Commander He, the young commander treats you badly, do you really want to show off to Zhang Xinghan?"  surrender?  He Zhuguo looked ashamed, lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to Liu Duoquan: "Mr. Liu, please rest assured that the young marshal has been kind to me. I will not defect to Zhang Xinghan, but now my several division commanders and others  They all agreed with Shen Ke's suggestion.  "And to be honest, if we continue to fight, we will only lose the lives of more brothers in the end. With people's hearts now unstable, it is impossible for us to defend Tianjin.  " "Then what do you mean, Commander He?  "Liu Duoquan looked at him puzzled and said. "I know a few foreign friends. They have ships at Tianjin Pier. As long as we get on their ships, the Northeast Border Guards will not dare to do anything to us.  We can take a boat to Qingdao, where Shen Honglie's navy is stationed, and we can go and join him. We can make plans after the young marshal returns to China.  "He Zhuguo Road. "You mean, you want to abandon the army?  "Liu Duoquan was in a dilemma.&nbsp; He Zhuguo nodded. Seeing his hesitation, he persuaded him: "Brother Liu, the situation is not up to you. We have no choice but to do this." Liu Duoquan was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Okay, that's it.  I will do as you say, but I want to take away the guards outside. They are loyal to me and can protect our safety on the road. " "Well, you wait here, I will go to the headquarters to make arrangements.  Come back." He Zhuguo nodded.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 365: Attacking Pingjin (12)

    About half an hour later, under the cover of darkness, He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan each led dozens of elite guards to leave the headquarters and arrived at the Tianjin Pier.  On the pier, there was a foreign merchant ship flying the Italian flag waiting for a long time. With the help of an acquaintance, the two led their men to board the ship smoothly.  At the same time, the Northeast Army Headquarters in Tianjin City.  Shen Ke and others are waiting for He Zhuguo. He just excused himself to go out to do some things, but he has not returned yet.  Finally, Shen Ke became impatient with waiting, stood up, and shouted to the guard outside the door: "Guard, guard." A guard guarding the door quickly came in: "Sir, what are your orders?" "  Where has Commander He gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Shen Ke asked.  "Commander He left with dozens of his personal guards half an hour ago. I don't know where he went." The guard answered truthfully and shook his head.  "Leaved with the guards?" Shen Ke was confused when he heard this. Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others present also looked at each other in confusion and started talking.  Suddenly, Shen Ke suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said: "No, Commander He may have run away." "Run away?" Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others were shocked when they heard this, and said in disbelief: "Can't it?"  "I don't know either. Just send someone to take a look." Shen Ke said and arranged for people to look for it.  It didn't take long for someone to rush back and report: "Sir, I searched all the temporary division headquarters of each division, but there is no trace of Commander He, and the commander of the independent 105th Division Liu Duoquan and his guards are also missing.  "It seems that Commander He and Liu Duoquan escaped alone," Shen Ke said.  Zhang Tingshu and others obviously couldn't accept it, and they were all angry and shocked.  Shen Ke pondered for a while, then turned to Zhang Tingshu and others who had not yet come to their senses: "Everyone, since Commander He has abandoned everyone and fled alone, we can no longer sit back and wait for death to waste time." Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others  The two looked at each other, and Taodong Fan said to Shen Ke: "Mr. Shen, just make up your mind. What should we do now?"  In Beiping City, Zhang Xinghan had just finished dinner, and the communications soldier ran away happily.  When he came in, he saluted: "Commander, Commander, good news. The Northeastern Army in Tianjin has called us. They have decided to surrender to us." "Really?" Zhang Xinghan obviously did not expect that the Northeastern Army in Tianjin would agree.  So fast.  Immediately stood up and ordered the communication soldier: "You immediately send electricity to Huang Xiansheng and Sabuli, tell them the news, and immediately prepare to accept the surrender of the Northeast Army in the city. Take over the Tianjin city defense. After the surrender, send the divisions in the city to the first level  All the generals of the Northeast Army were sent to Beiping City. I want to meet them in person. " "Yes." The signal soldier couldn't restrain his joy, nodded immediately, and turned around to follow the order.  After the two sides passed the telegram, at around 9 p.m., the Northeastern Army in the city received an order to lay down their weapons and leave the city to surrender.  These Northeastern officers and soldiers, who had no intention of fighting for a long time, carried out the orders cleanly and thoroughly.  Nearly 70,000 Northeastern Army prisoners filed out of the city from three directions and surrendered to various units of the Northeastern Border Guard outside the city.  Around 12 o'clock in the evening, the surrender operation was basically completed.  All the more than 60,000 Northeastern Army prisoners were controlled by the Northeastern Border Guards. At the same time, Liu Jianguo's command post was fully stationed in Tianjin.  On the official road from Tianjin to Peiping, two military trucks full of soldiers escorted a car speeding towards Peiping.  The bright and dazzling light is particularly eye-catching in the dark night.  Like two dazzling light dragons.  In the compartment of the car in the middle, there were several lieutenant generals and several officers with the rank of major general sitting in the compartment. If you look closely, you will see that Shen Ke.  Zhang Tingshu and others were among them.  They were the division and brigade-level officers of the Northeast Army in Tianjin who had just surrendered and not much had happened.  "Mr. Shen, you said they would take us to Peiping as soon as we surrendered. Zhang Xinghan won't do anything to us, right?" Zhang Tingshu asked Shen Ke, who was sitting opposite him, worriedly.  Shen Ke leaned against the carriage and said calmly: "Don't worry, it won't happen. Not only will he not harm us, he will also reuse us." "Oh? How can Mr. Shen see that?" Zhang Tingshu asked curiously.  "Because if he harms us, no one in the world will dare to surrender to them from now on. Therefore, in order to create a good reputation for himself, he will not only not harm us, but also reuse us to show that  He has a broad mind and doesn't care about past grudges," Shen Ke explained.  Zhang Ting?The others nodded repeatedly after hearing this, it was indeed true.  At the same time that the Battle of Tianjin came to a successful conclusion, Ge Quanwu's new division's pursuit of the 53rd Army was also forced to stop at dark.  As night falls, it will be much easier for the defeated generals of the 53rd Army to escape.  However, up to this point, Ge Quanwu's recruits had also gained a lot. The 53rd Army's more than 40,000 troops escaped during the day's battle, and more than 30,000 people were captured. Wan Fulin's troops were no longer even a regiment.  .  By the time he withdrew to Yu County and Guangling County, the total number of defeated troops gathered was less than 10,000. Of course, this is a story later.  Beiping City, Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Xinghan had just read the good news from Ge Quanwu, and was very happy to have the communications corps return the call and commend Ge Quanwu and others.  As soon as the communications troops left, a guard walked in quickly and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and other captured generals of the Northeast Army have arrived." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan stood up with a look of surprise on his face.  He stood up and said, "Let's go with me to greet them personally." Outside the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, the escorting officers and soldiers on the two military trucks in front and behind had jumped out first, and were on guard in front of and behind the vehicle.  And more than a dozen lieutenant generals, including Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan, and major generals also jumped out of the car one after another.  After looking around, Tao Dongfan said in surprise, "Hey, isn't this the Young Marshal's Mansion?" Shen Ke looked a little sad and said, "It's the Young Marshal's Mansion, but it has changed owners now." Shen Ke finished his words.  , they heard a rush of footsteps in the yard. Everyone looked back and saw a young officer wearing a general's uniform striding towards them with a smile on his face.  "Everyone, it's been a hard journey. I wonder which one is Master Shen Keshen, and which one is Master Zhang and Master Tao?" Zhang Xinghan asked loudly with a smile as soon as he stepped out of the gate.  I saw Zhang Xinghan wearing a brand new general uniform.  How could everyone in Shen Ke not know who was coming? They immediately stood up to salute Zhang Xinghan and said, "I have seen Commander-in-Chief Zhang before." "Haha, you are not polite, you are not polite. Xinghan has admired your name for a long time, and I see you today.  , It’s so comforting for a lifetime!” Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Commander-in-Chief Zhang has commended me. I am Shen Ke, commander of the 106th Independent Division." After introducing himself, Shen Ke pointed sideways at Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and others and introduced Zhang Xinghan one by one.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and shook hands with them one by one. After some pleasantries, everyone felt that Zhang Xinghan was more approachable than they expected.  Much more enthusiastic.  He felt relieved and followed Zhang Xinghan into the Young Marshal's Mansion, which was now Zhang Xinghan's temporary headquarters, chatting and laughing.  Walking into the living room, the orderly had already prepared tea.  After Zhang Xinghan invited everyone to sit down, he cut to the point and said straight to the point: "My colleagues, you understand the righteousness deeply, put the righteousness of the nation first, stop fighting for friendship, and save tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Tianjin citizens from the destruction of war.  Xinghan admires you very much. Please rest assured that I will not miss you in your positions and military power. I hope that from today on, you can work together to serve the country and work hard for our Chinese nation." Everyone is obviously.  I didn't expect Zhang Xinghan to be so cheerful, and I was surprised.  Everyone was beaming with joy. Shen Ke took the lead and stood up and expressed his attitude to Zhang Xinghan: "Thanks to Commander-in-Chief Zhang for his love. From today on, we will go all out to serve the country under your leadership, Commander-in-Chief." Zhang Xinghan laughed.  He waved his hands and said: "You have joined our Northeast Frontier Defense Force. First, I welcome you home. Second, from today on, we are Paoze brothers. We are both loyal to the country and deal with the nation, regardless of each other."  , regardless of each other. "Although Zhang Xinghan was so polite, Shen Ke and others did not dare to show off, and they all stood up and pledged their allegiance to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and accepted them one by one. Naturally, he could not guarantee that all the dozen or so senior generals of the Northeast Army would return to him so quickly.  But he is confident that as time goes by, they will be convinced and loyal to him.  As the saying goes, without the diamond, one would not dare to take on the porcelain work. Since he dared to take them in, give them military power, and entrust them with important tasks, Zhang Xinghan was not afraid that he would not be able to control them.  My own Secrecy Bureau is not a vegetarian.  And he did not intend to stay outside the customs for these surrendered and captured Northeastern Army troops, but to bring them back to the Northeast.  “As he just said, letting them go home should be what the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army desire most at this time.  After this is accomplished, all Northeastern officers and soldiers will be grateful to themselves and their goodwill will double.  Early the next morning,The complete statistics of the results are out.  According to the summary of reports from various units, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force captured a total of more than 103,000 people in this battle, of which 68,000 people surrendered directly from Tianjin City.  It is worth mentioning that the 200th Division and the 203rd Division captured three artillery brigades of the Northeast Army and more than 200 large and small artillery pieces, which was a small surprise.  In addition, hundreds of thousands of old-fashioned rifles and machine guns were seized, and the number of bullets was incalculable.  After this battle, the Northeastern Army's power in the Pingjin area was uprooted. After excluding those who escaped, those who died in battle, and those who were captured, the Northeastern Army was left with two fully organized cavalry divisions, plus the remnant of Wan Fulin, the total strength was  Less than thirty thousand people.  The Northeastern Army, which was adapted from the warlords of the Feng clan, relied on Zhang and his son for survival. The Northeastern Army, which was once powerful for a while, disappeared and ceased to exist. It just withdrew from the stage of history.  However, Marshal Zhang also has two navy fleets stationed in Qingdao, with more than 3,000 people and a dozen large and small warships.  After daybreak, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to escort the prisoners out of the customs in batches and return to the northeast. At the same time, he ordered the troops to continue to maintain fighting status and be ready to fight against the Jinsui Army, Shandong Army and the Central Army that might move north from Baoding and Cangzhou.  When the more than 110,000 captured Northeastern officers and soldiers heard that they were going back to the Northeast, they all jumped with joy and cheered, and they were very cooperative.  Therefore, the Northeast Border Guard only needed a very small number of troops to escort them out of the customs, and Zhang Xinghan also sent a telegram to Zhao Zhenfan, ordering him to send some troops to prepare to assist.  The Pingjin area changed hands overnight. After receiving the news, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army's hundreds of thousands of troops, which were closest to Pingjin, immediately stopped advancing and stood by in place.  At the same time, the situation was quickly reported to Yan Xishan and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing.  In Taiyuan City, after Yan Xishan heard the report from his adjutant Xu Youde, the blue and white porcelain tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. He said with a shocked look on his face: "What, what do you mean? Pingjin fell?" Xu Youde nodded and said  : "Yes, Chairman, of the 170,000 Northeastern Army, nearly 120,000 were captured. Others died or escaped. There are less than 30,000 survivors. Pingjin and the surrounding vast areas have all fallen into the Northeast.  "In the hands of the border guards." Yan Xishan opened his mouth slightly, and after a long time, he murmured to himself: "Zhang Xinghan, this little bastard, is incredible, incredible. The hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops are so vulnerable in front of him. It's really incredible."  It’s incredible.” At the same time, in Chairman Chiang’s official residence office in Nanjing.  Jiang Gong also suddenly stood up from his chair and said in shock: "Cixiu, what did you say? Peking was lost?" Chen Cheng, who came to report, nodded: "Not only Peking, but also Tianjin was captured by Zhang Xinghan's northeastern border defense  The army captured it and captured it without any blood. "What happened?" Chairman Jiang asked with a dark face.  After Chen Cheng truthfully reported the intelligence he had, Chairman Chiang could no longer hold back his anger: "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, what kind of soldiers do Zhang Hanqing have? Fighting against the Japanese is not enough, so fight with Zhang Xinghan."  Is it a puddle of mud, and the 170,000-strong army is so vulnerable?" Chen Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Although the Northeast Army's combat power is very different from that of the Northeast Frontier Army, if it really fights to the death, the war will not be so fast.  In the end, I felt that it was the officers and soldiers of both sides who were responsible for the collapse of the Northeast Army so quickly. They were all from the Northeast and did not want to fight a civil war with the Northeast Border Guards. "After all, they had to follow Zhang Hanqing."  They were unable to return home and were forced to leave their hometown, but it was different after surrendering to the Northeastern Border Guards. Not only could they go home, but they could also continue to serve as soldiers and feed themselves in such a battle-hardened division. Compare the two and judge the pros and cons.  "That's why so many Northeastern troops surrendered and became prisoners." Chairman Jiang nodded noncommittally, Chen Cheng's analysis made sense.  "Commissioner, what should we do next?" Chen Cheng asked for instructions.  "Didn't the intelligence say that the Northeast Army still has two cavalry divisions? Tell Xu Tingyao to reorganize them under the orders of the central government!" Chairman Jiang said angrily.  ps: This chapter has 4,000 words, and 10,000 words have been updated today.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 366: Return to the Northeast

    In the next few days, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army and Chairman Chiang's Central Army showed no signs of continuing to move north. As for Han Fuqu's Shandong Army, they even retreated to the south of the Yellow River.  Peiping, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Zhang Xinghan was reviewing documents. After taking over the Pingjin area, within a few days, various large and small matters in these areas were submitted in a swarm.  Zang Shiyi is still busy in the Northeast recruiting naval recruits and other work, and he can't get away for the time being. Some things are very important, such as post-war settlements in various places.  So Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into battle himself.  While I was busy, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside.  Zhang Xinghan raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo walking in hand in hand. He smiled and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, we are here." "Brother Jingzhong, Jianguo, you are here, come and help me, I  I'm almost going crazy." Zhang Xinghan stood up quickly and said.  The two looked at each other and smiled, and Huang Xian said: "Commander, those who are capable should work harder." "That's right, those who are capable should work harder." Liu Jianguo nodded in agreement.  After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Xinghan cut to the chase and asked, "How about it? There are no unusual actions by the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in the direction of Baoding and Cangzhou, right?" Huang Xiansheng smiled and shook his head and said, "No, no, Pingjin was captured.  After we took it, they stopped advancing. So far, they haven't done anything unusual. " "Yes, our tank troops are displayed in front, and the air force is constantly conducting deterrent cruises. They have no ulterior motives.  How brave." Liu Jianguo said.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded. Indeed, the combat power of his Northeast Frontier Defense Force is now enough to make any East Asian country or force feel afraid.  Now that the situation in Beijing and Tianjin has been decided, no matter whether it is Yan Laoxi or Chairman Jiang, even if they have any intentions, they have to weigh the pros and cons and consider the consequences.  "Okay, you divisions will continue to be stationed in Pingjin. To prepare for possible emergencies, I will transfer Ge Quanwu's new division here later." Zhang Xinghan said eloquently.  "Commander, what do you mean by this, do you plan to leave?" Liu Jianguo asked.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Now we have captured more than 100,000 Northeastern Army prisoners. These prisoners are very large in number. If we use them well, they will become our source of a large number of new soldiers. If we use them poorly, it may be counterproductive.  , The harm is endless. " "So. I have to go back and personally reorganize these 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners. Reorganize those who should be reorganized, and demobilize those who should be demobilized. I must transform them into effective combat forces of our Northeastern Frontier Army as soon as possible. "  "The Pingjin area will be left to you. Brother Jingzhong is the main one, Jianguo is the second. You all need to unite well before we can digest these 110,000 captive recruits. The Pingjin area can only be on the defensive, and no tampering is allowed."  Zhang Xinghan patted the two of them on the shoulders and encouraged them.  Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo nodded solemnly and said: "Commander, please rest assured. We will do our best and never let down your trust." ……………………………… The next morning, Zhang Xinghan  He left Beiping City with the guard battalion and handed over all the defense of the Pingjin area to Liu Jianguo and Huang Xiansheng.  Inside the cabin of a military truck.  Guo Zhong, who was still unconscious, was lying on a stretcher bed specially made for him by Zhang Xinghan. Two young female nurses were sitting next to him, holding bottles of salt water for him.  Zhang Xinghan sat on the other side, opposite the two nurses.  It may be the first time that they sit together with a senior officer like Zhang Xinghan at such a close distance. The two young nurses are obviously at a loss.  Zhang Xinghan did not go to talk to them. Instead, he held a cigarette in his mouth and looked down at Guo Zhong who was lying on the stretcher. He had been in a coma for several days and had not yet woken up. His face was extremely pale and without any blood.  "Zhongzi, wake up quickly. You have been following us for so long. We still have a lot of things to do. You didn't die by the Japanese or Lao Maozi's gun. How could you die in the hands of a mob? You  He is my brother Zhang Xinghan. Who will protect me if you die? Who will command my guard camp? " Speaking of emotional moments, I recalled everything about Guo Zhong who worked hard and was loyal to me in the past three years.  No complaints, such a loyal person is what anyone in power wants.  It is also worth being sad about.  My nose was sore, my eyes were moist, and tears almost came out of my eyes.  Zhang Xinghan turned his head and rubbed his eyes, wiping all the tears on his hands.  The two little nurses were shocked by the scene in front of them, and the elder one obviously didn’t dare to say anything.Trust your own eyes. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This seems incredible.  But from another perspective, their favorable impression of Zhang Xinghan suddenly increased, and their pure admiration has been mixed with some emotion and sympathy.  Perhaps Commander-in-Chief Zhang is a normal flesh-and-blood hero, rather than a cold-blooded and heroic figure.  After taking two puffs of the cigarette butt in his mouth, Zhang Xinghan ordered the driver to stop, turned around and jumped out of the car.  He did not forget to turn around and tell the two young nurses: "You two, please be careful when greeting him along the way." The two young nurses recovered from the shock, nodded in unison and said "Yes"  road.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops along the railway line, passed through Tangshan, exited Shanhaiguan, and soon arrived in Jinxi.  As we were heading towards Jinzhou along the Hexi Corridor, a group of military trucks dragging a large number of artillery suddenly appeared in front of us.  The convoy in front was moving very slowly, and Zhang Xinghan's guard battalion was forced to stop.  Sticking his head out of the window, Zhang Xinghan asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened in front?" A soldier quickly ran over from the front, slapped the ground and stood up to salute Zhang Xinghan: "Report to the commander, our army is in front of you.  Transport team, they are transporting some of the captured artillery back to Jinzhou. "In this battle of Pingjin, the Northeast Army captured 110,000 Northeast Army soldiers, including Zhang Xueliang's last artillery family, three artillery brigades.  The equipment of the two artillery brigades was left by Zhang Xinghan to strengthen the firepower of Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo. Zhang Xinghan planned to transfer the remaining artillery brigade outside the pass to prepare for the reorganization of the new army in the future.  However, this transport team set off a long time ago and has not arrived in Jinzhou yet, which is somewhat beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectation.  "Tell them to get out of the way and let us pass first." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and ordered the soldier.  "Yes." The soldier responded happily, turned around and ran away.  After a day and night of urgent marching, Zhang Xinghan returned to Jinzhou with the guard battalion, where the Air Force transport plane was already waiting at the airport.  Zhang Xinghan led the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion to carry the unconscious Guo Zhong, got on the plane, and flew directly to Jilin City.  After more than two hours of flight, the fleet successfully arrived at Jilin Airport under the escort of Zero fighter jets.  At the airport, Jiang Baili had been informed a long time ago and arranged a field hospital, where the most skilled doctors and nurses were on call.  As soon as Guo Zhong got off the plane, they picked him up in an ambulance and rushed towards the field hospital in Jilin City.  When we arrived in Jilin, the best rescue doctors and hardware facilities from the Northeast Border Guard were gathered here. It was definitely the best place for Guo Zhong, who had never woken up from a coma.  Watching Guo Zhong being picked up by doctors and nurses, Jiang Baili turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, you have worked hard all the way. I have prepared a reception banquet for you. Get in the car quickly and let's celebrate this trip to Pingjin.  The war ended successfully. "The chief of staff is interested." Zhang Xinghan nodded and followed him into a military jeep, while the guards and soldiers got into the military truck behind.  A group of people took dozens of military vehicles and drove out of the airport toward Jilin City.  "Commander, now that the war in the Pingjin area has been successfully concluded, what is your next goal?" Jiang Baili asked casually after having three rounds of wine and five dishes.  "The next strategic goal is of course the Northwest. However, the top priority right now is that we must quickly reorganize the 110,000 Northeastern troops captured this time so that they can become our effective combat force as soon as possible to enhance the overall strength of our Northeastern border defense forces.  Strength." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Well, you're right. We captured so many enemy prisoners this time. If we can successfully reorganize and transform them all, it will greatly enhance the overall strength of our army. With this new batch of troops, we can also  This is the basis for a larger-scale military expansion to make up for the current situation of insufficient military strength, so as to support our next strategic expansion." Jiang Baili nodded and analyzed.  "Well, we will personally direct and control this later." Zhang Xinghan asked: "By the way, how is the recruitment of Minister Zang's navy recruits going?" "It is still under emergency recruitment, plus the qualified ones selected by each division  There are already more than 3,000 veterans," Jiang Baili replied.  "More than three thousand people are not enough." Zhang Xinghan mused: "In this way, there should be many qualified veterans among the 110,000 captive soldiers this time. You can inform Zang Shi later."??, let him make the selection first, and after he has finished selecting, we will organize them in a unified manner.  " "Well, I will inform Minister Zang later.  "Jiang Baili nodded, picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, Commander, I'll toast you with another drink.  "The two toasted and drank together until they were drunk. Jiang Baili stayed at the headquarters, while Zhang Xinghan was escorted back to his home compound by the security battalion. As soon as the guards drove to the door, they alerted the Zhang family in the courtyard. See  Zhang Xinghan was so drunk that Wang Ruoying, who was helped out, hurried over and said slightly reproachfully: "Xinghan, why did you drink so much?  "A guard smiled and said: "Our commander drank too much with the chief of staff because he was happy. This time we won a big victory in Peiping, and even Tianjin was defeated by us.  ” ps: I’m busy practicing my car, so I’ll update today. After the test tomorrow, I’ll resume normal updates and make up for it. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 367: Seven New Divisions

    In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and a dazzling ray of sunlight shone through the window on Zhang Xinghan's bed.  .? Zhang Xinghan opened his eyes, his head was still a little groggy. This was the sequelae of a hangover.  Blocking the dazzling sunlight with his hands, Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and looked at himself. His military uniform had already been replaced by a set of pajamas.  She lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed when the door creaked open and Wang Ruoying walked in carrying a washbasin and towel.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan had sat up, Wang Ruoying put the washbasin aside, walked over with a smile and said, "Xinghan, are you awake?" Zhang Xinghan sat on the edge of the bed, scratched his head and smiled: "Well, I'm awake now.  "What time is it?" "It's already ten o'clock, and the sun is almost shining." Wang Ruoying pursed her lips and smiled.  "It's ten o'clock? Have I slept for so long?" Zhang Xinghan's face turned red.  "Yes, you drank too much last night. I helped you change your clothes and you couldn't wake up." Wang Ruoying said and turned around: "Come on, wash your face quickly. Sister Zhou has already warmed breakfast for you twice."  " Zhang Xinghan put on his shoes and came to the basin. Wang Ruoying twisted the towel and was about to wipe his face. Zhang Xinghan took the towel from her hand and said softly: "Honey, you are pregnant now.  How can I ask you to wash my face for me? I can just do it myself." Wang Ruoying smiled sweetly and wiped her face. Zhang Xinghan said: "The headquarters still has some urgent matters to deal with. The navy is about to be formed. I'll wait.  "You have to leave now." "Don't be in a hurry, finish your breakfast before leaving, or I won't let you go," Wang Ruoying ordered with a childish temper.  Zhang Xinghan smiled silently and followed Wang Ruoying out of the room obediently. Having a wife who felt sorry for her was the greatest happiness for every man. How could he not know the blessings in the midst of them?  After breakfast, Zhang Xinghan walked out of his courtyard. The guards had already prepared a car, got in the car, waved goodbye to Wang Ruoying and others, and went straight to the headquarters.  When he arrived at the headquarters, it was already around eleven o'clock. Jiang Baili had already gotten up and was now working with several staff officers.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's arrival, Jiang Baili put down his work and came out. He greeted with a smile: "Commander, you are here." "Here you are." Zhang Xinghan walked into the room, took out a cigarette, nodded and said: "How is it? I slept last night.  "How are you doing?" "Everything is fine. I just had a phone call with Minister Zang. He is in Changchun now. He said that he would take the train south to Jinzhou and take the staff to personally select qualified navy recruits." Jiang Baili said.  "Well, I can rest assured that you can do the work." Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked straight to his desk.  …………………… In the next half month, Zang Shiyi personally went into battle and led a group of recruitment staff to recruit as many naval recruits as possible among the more than 100,000 captive soldiers in Jinzhou and other places.  troops.  Adding in the more than 3,000 people previously recruited, the total number has exceeded 10,000.  .  Zang Shiyi had just finished selecting his front leg, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili also announced the specific reorganization and transformation plan for the 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners that they had discussed in half a month.  The specific content is as follows: 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners were temporarily reorganized into seven reorganized divisions, numbered 211 to 216.  Among them, as long as you have not done anything extremely sinful, you can make a free choice between serving in the military or returning home.  Those who remain will be paid according to the military salaries of the active troops of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Those who return home from the army will be given twenty yuan for travel expenses.  Of course, in order to reflect their personal character as much as possible, the announcement also states that officers and soldiers who are willing to stay and continue to serve as soldiers can each receive different holidays based on the distance between their station and home, so that they can go home more easily.  Visiting parents and relatives.  This announcement has been issued, and the number of 110,000 Northeastern Army prisoners who have voluntarily stayed to continue serving as soldiers has exceeded 100,000.  They are professional soldiers themselves. Being a soldier is their profession and they rely on it to make a living.  “If they don’t serve in the military and all of them are discharged from the army, it will be really difficult for them to find a job to survive for a while.  What’s more, the pay and treatment of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the overall military superiority of domestic warlords are even better than those of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek’s Central Army.  It is enough for them to support their families. The most important thing is that the Northeast Border Guard is a heroic force of the whole nation.  Everyone is proud to be in this army. The sense of honor that is deeply loved and worshiped by 40 million people attracts and stimulates any passionate soldier.  &nbsp; In order to ensure his control over the seven newly formed reorganized divisions, in addition to using the excuse of recruiting new recruits, he sent a group of people with dual identities from the Secrecy Bureau and soldiers to serve in each of the seven reorganized divisions.  Zhang Xinghan also transferred some of the middle-level officers and soldiers of each division on the grounds of transferring former middle-level officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army to Longxing Military Academy for further studies.  Of course, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Zhang Xinghan's actions were not too big. He also appointed Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan, Shen Ke and other former Northeast Army generals as division commanders.  If you want to isolate them, you can't rush them, you have to do it step by step. Otherwise, if you push too hard, trouble will easily arise. Zhang Xinghan still understands this.  After the seven reorganization divisions were formed, they were all stationed in Jinzhou, Liaoyang, Dalian, Chaoyang, Huludao, Yingkou, Dandong and other places in Liaoning.  To strengthen and enrich the military strength of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in South Manchuria.  At the same time, this deployment can also dispatch enough reinforcements to deal with sudden changes in the situation in the Koryo Peninsula or the Pingjin area within the pass.  It can also strengthen the defense force in the coastal areas of Bohai Bay to prevent the Japanese from attacking from the sea in the future.  After completing the reorganization of the captured soldiers, Zhang Xinghan felt a big stone fall in his heart, and the reputation he had worked so hard to accumulate was maximized at this moment.  “Only a handful of the 110,000 Northeastern officers and soldiers were unwilling to truly surrender and retire. The vast majority of them chose to change their banners and became glorious members of the Northeastern Border Guards.  In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was happily watching the reorganization of the captive troops. There was a rush of footsteps. He looked up and saw Chief of Staff Jiang Baili walking in with a smile. He was very fast and beaming with joy.  "Chief of Staff, what happened? Seeing you are so happy, could something good have happened?" Zhang Xinghan asked casually.  Jiang Baili suddenly smiled and said: "Chief, you guessed it right. Something good has happened. Miss Alice has just sent someone to inform me that the first batch of retired British Empire naval officers and sailors she recruited for us have entered."  The East China Sea will reach the Bohai Bay in a few days. "Really?" Zhang Xinghan stood up in surprise when he heard this. So, our navy will be established soon.  "Jiang Baili smiled and nodded. Zhang Xinghan stood up, walked a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, when our navy was just established, what we lacked most was talents with experience and understanding of manipulation. We first set up a navy crash team at Longxing Military Academy.  Class, let the retired naval officer Alice found for us come to the crash course to serve as a naval instructor for us. ? While training new recruits, form a naval force.  " "Well, this is a good idea, I think it can be implemented.  "Jiang Baili added: "This way we can have enough time to purchase warships.  " "Don't worry about the warship, I have my own way.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said in a tone that left no room for doubt. "If you don't have any other instructions, then I should go ahead and get started?  "Jiang Baili asked tentatively. "Well, you go ahead. I have to go to Lushun, so I'll leave this place to you.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a nurse walked in quickly accompanied by a guard. He saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili in a decent manner: "Report to the commander, chief of staff, Guo  Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander Guo is awake.  " Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Is what you said true?  is that true?  " "Well, it's true. I was ordered to come and report to you as soon as he woke up.  "The little nurse nodded repeatedly. "Great, take me to see him quickly.  After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Baili and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm going to see Zhongzi first. You're busy."  "After saying that, he followed the little nurse and walked out. He drove the little nurse all the way to the field hospital. The two guards guarding the door saluted immediately when they saw Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan didn't even bother to return the salute to them, and rushed like a gust of wind.  After entering the hospital, he saw a nurse concentrating on changing his dressing. Instead of rushing in, he stood outside the door and planned to wait for the nurse to finish changing his dressing.  Unexpectedly, Guo Zhong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly turned his head and saw Zhang Xinghan standing at the door. He suddenly became excited and wanted to stand up. He grinned when the wound was touched and the nurse who changed his dressing was startled.  Zhang Xinghan walked in quickly, and Guo Zhong endured the severe pain in his body and wanted to get up to greet him. "Zhongzi, sleep well for me, what are you doing?"  "Zhang Xinghan said with an unquestionable tone and stopped his movements. Guo Zhong looked anxious, and the severe pain made him feel cold.Khan, said: "Commander, I am unable to get up because of my humble position. Please forgive me." "Stop talking nonsense, just lie down and let the nurse change the medicine for you. Let's talk again." Zhang Xinghan stepped forward and supported him.  road.  Guo Zhong nodded gratefully, lay down, and waited for the nurse to continue changing the dressing.  Maybe Zhang Xinghan was on the register, so the nurse seemed a little nervous. Guo Zhong frowned when the pain hit him several times. However, in front of Zhang Xinghan, he was a tough guy, so the pain was bearable.  After a long while, the little nurse said with sweat dripping: "After changing, be sure not to move around, rest more and recuperate." As he said that, he packed up his tools.  "Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xinghan nodded to the nurse and sat on the edge of the bed.  (To be continued.

    "Chief Commander, I've caused trouble for the troops." Before Guo Zhong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Xinghan, who raised his hand and said: "Stop talking so much nonsense, let me recover from my injuries. I'm used to you being around. You  I felt very uncomfortable during my absence." As he spoke, Zhang Xinghan took out a pack of Hardman cigarettes, lit one himself and started smoking.  Guo Zhong was also a smoker. After lying in the hospital for so many days, he couldn't smoke a cigarette. Seeing Zhang Xinghan's comfortable and happy look, he suddenly became addicted to smoking.  He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said: "Commander, what's the matter? Can you give me a cigarette to smoke?" "We'll wait until you recover from your injury. The doctor will definitely not allow you to smoke now." Zhang Xinghan smoked while thinking about himself.  road.  "But, but" Guo Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Just one, half a cigarette is enough." Zhang Xinghan sighed, took out another cigarette, lit it for him, and put it in Guo Zhong's mouth.  The two of them smoked at the same time, and soon the room was filled with smoke. Zhang Xinghan said: "Take good care of your injuries. The guard camp needs you, and I need you even more. After you recover from your injuries, we will send troops to the northwest. There will be many battles to fight in the future.  I always feel uneasy without you behind me. " "MasterI" Guo Zhong's eyes turned red, and tears almost came out of his eyes.  "Don't say anything. A good brother is a good brother. I know you won't die so easily. How can I enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future?" Zhang Xinghan said sincerely.  The two talked again, and Zhang Xinghan stood up and said, "You can rest here and recuperate. I have important things to attend to. I will come to see you when I get back." "Chief, please walk slowly." Guo Zhong made a gesture to get up, and Zhang Xinghan raised his head.  He stopped him with his hand: "Sleep well, don't move around, take care." The next day, Zhang Xinghan took a direct flight to Lushun with the main force of the guard battalion.  Zhao Zhenfan, who was stationed in Dalian, rushed to the airport to greet him in person.  He has already prepared the car.  And arranged a residence for Zhang Xinghan.  After nightfall, Zhang Xinghan asked the security forces to mark an absolute military restricted area at a port, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.  He walked in alone.  He came to the coast and took out his watch Three days later, three battleships and ten cruisers appeared at the Lushun Military Port Pier.  Because Zhang Xinghan ordered martial law here, basically no one knows about it.  A British ship flying the Union Jack flag sailed into Lushun Pier. On board this ship were retired naval officers and sailors recruited by Alice for Zhang Xinghan.  In order to show her sincerity, Alice arrived in Lushun by plane two days ago. At this moment, she and Zhang Xinghan were personally greeting retired officers and sailors at the dock.  Zhang Xinghan and other retired British navy officers did not know her, but Miss Alice of the Marks family.  But they recognized him at a glance.  Everyone was pleasantly surprised, flattered, and grateful to Alice.  Alice introduced Zhang Xinghan to them. When they heard from Alice that the person standing next to the goddess in their minds was the world-famous Napoleon of the East.  They were really surprised. They didn't expect Zhang Xinghan to be so young.  "Are you General Zhang Xinghan? We have heard reports about you on the other side of the ocean. You and your men are the most heroic soldiers in the East. You are arrogant and boast that you are the most powerful Japanese in Asia.  I was defeated by you, you are really amazing." A British man in his fifties said to Zhang Xinghan in English.  Zhang Xinghan can understand English.  He looked sideways at Alice and asked, "Who is this?" Also in English.  The British guy heard this and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Ives, and I am a former captain of the Royal Navy of the British Empire." "Ives, hello, welcome to China." Zhang Xinghan extended a friendly greeting.  Take action.  After shaking hands.  Zhang Xinghan immediately raised his hands and said: "I have arranged a banquet for all of you. Miss Alice and I will personally take care of you." When everyone in Ives heard this, they all cheered and were excited to have dinner with Miss Alice.  It's a great honor for them.  There is a boss-level character like Alice here.  The British sailors who came to China were all as honest and docile as sheep, and they all expressed that they would definitely do their best to help Zhang Xinghan train and build a navy.  Zhang Xinghan sent them all to Longxing Military Academy, where preparations had already been made for the establishment of a crash course in the navy.  The personnel transferred from each army and more than 10,000 new recruits had already assembled and were waiting for their arrival.  So, after everything fell into place, the navy crash course began.  All is wellAfter everything was safe, Zhang Xinghan took Alice on the return journey, but this time Alice asked Zhang Xinghan not to take a plane but to take a train instead.  Feeling that he owed Alice a huge favor, Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to agree and arranged a special train to return to Northern Manchuria.  The special train Zhang Xinghan has his own exclusive carriage with beds, sofas and other facilities.  "Oh, my dear, you are so awesome, oh, ah" Ruoyouruowu's seductive cry came from Zhang Xinghan's exclusive carriage.  The several guards standing outside suddenly turned red.  On a black leather sofa in the car, a blood-spraying live erotic scene is taking place.  A snow-white and sexy body was kneeling on the sofa, and her plump buttocks were stopped by Zhang Xinghan's hands and kept moving Autumn is turning to winter, and the new year is here in the blink of an eye. The past few months  Here, in the four northeastern provinces, Pingjin, and the Korean Peninsula, everything was safe and sound. The Northeast Border Guard Army spent a rare few months of peace and stability since its formation.  The Navy’s crash course will graduate in two months, and the new divisions reorganized by seven captive soldiers have also entered the formal stage.  After several months of intensive training, one hundred thousand reserve recruits have significantly improved their mental outlook and combat effectiveness compared to before.  The situation is developing steadily and the situation is excellent.  At this point, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force Army and Air Force plus 100,000 reserves have a total strength of more than 550,000 people.  Among them, 120,000 are stationed in the Koryo Peninsula, 60,000 are stationed in Pingjin, and the other 370,000 are all stationed in South and North Manchuria and other vast areas. Among them, excluding the 100,000 border guards deployed on the Sino-Soviet border to prevent the Soviet army, 20  The 70,000-strong army is a mobile force that Zhang Xinghan can mobilize.  The total number of tanks and combat vehicles in the Northeast Frontier Force has exceeded more than 2,000, as well as tens of thousands of large and small artillery pieces, and the number of aircraft has exceeded 2,000.  Both in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, it is much stronger than the Feng army in history.  On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934), the First Fleet of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force was officially established.  Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and other senior officers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force all rushed to Lushun Military Port to participate in the ceremony.  As the founder of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, Zhang Xinghan was unable to go with them because his wife Wang Ruoying gave birth on the same day.  In the courtyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Xinghan was pacing back and forth anxiously. His father, Zhang Yuxi, was squatting aside with a pipe and smoking silently, with a look of anxiety on his brows.  It snowed heavily a few years ago, and the snow in the yard had been cleaned several times by the guards, and it was still clean.  The air was extremely cold, but Zhang Xinghan didn't feel a chill at all at this moment.  Instead, sweat continued to overflow from my forehead, as well as from my palms.  Wang Ruoying's heart-rending screams of pain kept coming from his bedroom, and every scream stung Zhang Xinghan's heart like a needle prick.  Just when Zhang Xinghan was so anxious that he could hardly hold back and was about to rush into the house, Wang Ruoying let out a miserable cry, followed by the loud cry of a baby.  Zhang Xinghan was stunned and stopped.  The door was opened, and a midwife, sweating profusely, ran out with joy and congratulated Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Yuxi who had just stood up and walked over: "General Zhang, congratulations to Mr. Zhang. Madam has successfully given birth to a son and a young lady. They are dragon and phoenix."  Fetus!" Zhang Xinghan was a little stunned. He stood there blankly and looked back at his father Zhang Yuxi. He saw that the wrinkled face was already smiling from ear to ear.  "General Zhang, General Zhang, my wife said he wanted to see you, will you come in?" Seeing Zhang Xinghan stunned on the spot, the midwife asked.  "Ah?" Zhang Xinghan woke up from a dream and hurriedly ran towards the house.  Inside the house, mother Liu Liping, Sister-in-law Zhou and another midwife had already wrapped the two babies in quilts.  Wang Ruoying was lying on the bed covered in sweat and looking a little pale.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan arriving, he raised his right hand with difficulty.  Zhang Xinghan hurriedly walked over, held her sweaty catkins and said softly: "Wife, thank you for your hard work." Wang Ruoying showed a happy smile and shook her head slightly: "It's not hard, we have our own child." "  Well, I still have children, my wife, you are really capable." Zhang Xinghan nodded with a smile.  Wang Ruoying clasped her fingers in his palm, rolled her eyes at him shyly, and had a happy smile on her face.  By this time, Liu Liping and Sister-in-law Zhou had already brought the child over.  After Zhang Xinghan looked at it, he was very happy and joked: "That's great, son"He is as handsome as his father, and his daughter is as beautiful as my wife. Well, that’s great.  "Wang Ruoying's cheeks were red with embarrassment and she said: "Xinghan, stop being happy and give our child a name as soon as possible.  " At this time, Zhang Yuxi also walked in. When he saw his two precious grandsons, he was smiling from ear to ear. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, name them. Name my precious grandsons and granddaughters.  .  " Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Today our Northeast Navy is established, my son will be called Jianhai, right?  Zhang Jianhai.  " "You will have these types of names, so let the boy do whatever you want. But the name of our daughter cannot be called "Guijian" or something like that. We must give our daughter a gentle and elegant name.  "Wang Ruoying rolled her eyes at him and said. "It's so difficult, then wife, you have to think about it.  "Zhang Xinghan scratched his head and said. Wang Ruoying bit her lip and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Just call me Nianjun, Zhang Nianjun.  "As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xinghan with tender eyes. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

    "Zhang Nianjun?" Zhang Xinghan felt the deep tenderness in his wife's eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Well, very good, I will call you Zhang Nianjun. // Welcome to reading //" "Great, including Zhang Weiguo from the second family.  , Our family has three third generations, and your father and I have three grandchildren in the blink of an eye. I am so happy today," Liu Liping cried with joy.  "Yes, I'm happy too. Our Zhang family is not afraid of having no successors." Zhang Yu nodded empathetically, with tears streaming down her cheeks.  Thinking about it from the perspective of the two elders, it is indeed true. Both sons went to war for the country. If something happens, how can they continue to live as parents?  Now, both Zhang Xinghan brothers have children, especially Zhang Xinghan, who gave birth to a twin boy, a boy and a girl. You can imagine the joy and excitement in the hearts of the two brothers. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the Dalian Lushun Military Port, ten cruisers and three battleships were lined up in two rows and moored at the pier.  Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Navy are already in place. With the flags raised and fluttering in the wind, the Northeast Navy was officially established.  In order not to shock the world and arouse suspicion from the outside world, Zhang Xinghan only built three 30,000-ton battleships and ten cruisers of more than 5,000 tons in the early stage.  But it also almost exhausted the enemy kill value he earned from the Pingjin battle. After all, in the Pingjin battle, there were not many enemies killed, and they were mainly prisoners, so the enemy kill value was not as much as the battle against the Japanese army.  Now our own naval personnel are still slowly developing and training. Even if we build an aircraft carrier, no one will know how to fly it, right?  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan is not in a hurry at all. Once the personnel are available, it will not be too late to spend a lot of money to produce several aircraft carriers and form several aircraft carrier battle groups. ?????????????????????????? The more than 500,000 enemy kill points Zhang Xinghan currently has accumulated in his hands are far from enough to get the enemy kill points needed to form an aircraft carrier battle group.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan has planned to implement another strategy he had set long ago after he has organized a full-moon party for his child.  The establishment of the Northeast Navy did not invite any domestic or foreign reporters. Everything was carried out in secret, so except for the agents of all parties, they may have obtained some information of little value.  The general public still does not know that since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Chinese nation, which has no navy, has quietly emerged as a new modern navy in the Bohai Bay.  It’s not that Zhang Xinghan didn’t want to announce such exciting news to all Chinese compatriots that would go down in history.  But he knows that to strike first with a gun, it is better to keep a low profile until his navy has developed to a certain level of strength.  The establishment of the Navy was completed, and various trainings began to be put into action. With practice, the naval officers and soldiers made rapid progress.  The army units are also stepping up training. The brewery has been put into operation three months ago, and the fertilizer plant has begun preparations to build a second branch. Everything in the entire Northeast is developing in an orderly manner.  A month later, Jilin City was in an unprecedented state of grandeur.  Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, Army, Navy and Air Force, held a full moon banquet for his children.  People all over the city were happy and running around to tell each other.  There are even more people inside and outside the Zhang Family Courtyard. The streets outside the courtyard are almost completely occupied by large and small military vehicles.  In the courtyard, almost all the officers at or above the corps level of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force were present, and it was very lively.  Guo Zhong has already returned to normal and has been discharged from the hospital. At the moment, he is accompanying Liu Jianguo, Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng and others talking in the yard.  In the inner room, Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe, Jiang Baili and others were looking after the children.  "Brother Dingfang, look at how handsome these two little grandsons are." Huang Xian said to Wang Yizhe with a smile.  Wang Yizhe was also smiling, looking at the two children with love and happiness in his eyes.  "Yes, he is good-looking and must be as smart as our president and his wife. Maybe he will be called brother Dingfang grandpa soon, ah, hahaha." Jiang Baili joked.  "Hahaha" Several people burst into laughter.  Since there was really no space in the house, the huge courtyard was filled with tables. Most of the Northeast Army generals at all levels sat in the courtyard.  Zhang Xinghan and Wang Ruoying walked out of the main room with their children in their arms and came to the door. Everyone present stood up and looked at Zhang Xinghan's two babies with great joy.  Wu Chengfeng was even more excited and said: "Congratulations to the president, congratulations to the president, you are so happy to have a pair of twins. This makes the brothers so envious. My sister-in-law is so awesome." Zhang Xinghan couldn't be happier.??, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Cheng Feng, what you said is wrong. This cannon is fired twice. It's because I am capable, your eldest brother!" Zhang Xinghan's words made Wang Ruoying feel shy, and she pinched his waist quietly.  , Zhang Xinghan suddenly grinned in pain, and the officers present burst into laughter upon seeing this.  "Commander, please teach the brothers some experience. All the brothers want to hit the target twice!" Wu Chengfeng's words immediately resonated with the officers. The officers laughed and cheered in unison.  "Go, go, a bunch of bachelors, you won't be able to learn from me if I teach you. When will you have a wife, come and ask me for advice! Hahaha!" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile and waved his hand.  Everyone present laughed in unison.  At this time, Jiang Baili took the lead and took the lead: "Brothers, today is the full moon celebration of our daughter and son. The most gratifying thing is that the birth day of their two brothers and sister is the same day as the founding of our navy. "  To commemorate this day, we specially named our son Zhang Jianhai. For the sake of our president and our navy, we salute the president and his wife together and wish them a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren." As soon as Jiang Baili said this,  Everyone present picked up their wine glasses and shouted loudly: "I wish you all a thousand sons and grandsons, may the whole house be filled with gold and jade!" "Well, brothers, I appreciate your kindness. Come on, do it!" Zhang Xinghan said loudly, holding his wine glass.  “Do it!” Everyone present responded in unison and raised their glasses to drink together.  ……………………… Three days later, Jilin Airport.  Since Wang Yizhe shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the Koryo Peninsula, although he was reluctant to leave his grandson so soon, he had to return to Koryo.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others went to the airport to see him off in person.  The group of people walked and chatted.  "Dad, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is the most unstable, and it is also the most likely to be attacked by the Japanese. You have to be careful where you are, and you must not relax your vigilance." Zhang Xinghan has naturally changed his tune since he had a child.  , everyone present is his close family member, there is no need to avoid suspicion.  Wang Yizhe looked at his son-in-law very happily and said: "Xinghan, don't worry, with the 120,000 troops you gave me, I will definitely be able to ensure that the Korean Peninsula is safe and sound. Even if the Japanese attack with their whole country, I will at least  I can give you a month and a half to hold on. " "Well, I can rest assured if dad says this. To be honest, I plan to continue to launch troops in the northwest in two months. This may affect both inside and outside the customs and even the Korean Peninsula.  If attacked, the stability of these areas will directly affect the success or failure of our army's western expedition." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  "I understand, feel free to go. I can't guarantee that there will be nothing wrong with the Korean Peninsula elsewhere." Wang Yizhe patted his shoulder and expressed.  "Take care!" Zhang Xinghan saluted his old father-in-law and said with a solemn expression.  Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others behind him also saluted.  Wang Yizhe put away his smile and saluted solemnly and solemnly: "Xinghan, brothers, take care, see you soon!" "Have a good trip." Jiang Baili and others said one after another.  Wang Yizhe turned around and started boarding the plane with his adjutant.  It wasn’t until the plane took off smoothly and flew toward the northeast under the escort of several fighter jets that Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others turned around and returned.  After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili came to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Chief of Staff, it's time for us to prepare for the Western Expedition." "Yes." Jiang Baili nodded and analyzed: "The Western Expedition is important to us.  There are only two routes. The first is to take the China-Eastern Railway to Hulunbuir, and then go south from Hulunbuir. The second is to go west from Rehe. No matter which route we take, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia will be our primary goals. " Zhang Xinghan nodded.  : "Yes, we will capture Inner Mongolia and Ningxia first, then Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Xizang. Our ultimate goal is to capture the entire northwest region." "In such a large combat area, based on our current strength alone, I am afraid that  Can't we conquer them all at once? Although the resistance of the warlords in these areas is not worth mentioning, the millions of square kilometers of land, the vast land and the sparsely populated mountains, rivers, and plateaus will all be difficulties before us.  But it goes far beyond military operations." Jiang Baili frowned slightly.  "Yes, this strategic goal needs to be implemented in three steps. The first goal is to capture Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai to prepare for regaining our Outer Mongolia in the future. And this stage is also the most important one.  stage, because I?To capture the above-mentioned areas, we must first defeat the Majia Army in the northwest.  They will be the biggest obstacle to our western expedition and march into the northwest. As long as we conquer them, the three northwest provinces will be determined.  The second stage is to conquer xinjiang, and the third stage is naturally xizang.  After completing this strategic goal, our army will occupy the entire four northeastern provinces, six northwest provinces, the Pingjin area and the Koryo Peninsula.  After retaking our Outer Mongolia, we can then go south to North China and the Central Plains, drink from the Yangtze River, rest for a few years, and use the whole country to cross the sea and conquer Japan, completely annihilating Japan, the most dangerous enemy.  ” ps: I just returned home from the county town in the afternoon. I failed the exam. Although I really wanted to sleep when I came back, there were so few updates yesterday. I decided to continue with eight updates today. This is the third update today, and there will be five updates.  I will work hard to finish it (To be continued.

    "Commander, Baili admires you for being so far-sighted. With this big strategic goal and vision, our army will have a goal to strive for. But how difficult will it be to achieve it?" Jiang Baili said.  "It is because of difficulties that we need to sit down. As long as we do it, what we will benefit will be our children and grandchildren. They will live in a world superpower and live a prosperous, confident and worry-free life forever."  If China wants to rise, it must first destroy the ambitious Japanese island country. Therefore, crossing the sea and marching eastward is what we must do, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, we must do it!"  road.  "Well said, if China wants to rise, it must first destroy Japan. The Japanese have indeed become the biggest threat to our Chinese nation." Jiang Baili nodded with deep understanding.  "Okay, let's not talk anymore. We will set off as soon as spring begins. Let Minister Zang be more busy during this period." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.  At Longxing Military Academy, a young student in military uniform came to the mountain behind the school and had just dug out a wooden box from a small cave before he could open it.  A group of men in black plainclothes came up from all around, with mirror boxes and the black muzzles of MP18 submachine guns all aimed at him.  "Song Mingyuan, you are under arrest." A young man also wearing a military uniform came out and said in an indifferent tone.  "Zhao Minggang? Who are you?" A young man named Song Mingyuan looked shocked and shouted.  “Member of the Military Investigation Team of the Northeast Border Guard Security Bureau!” A young man named Zhao Minggang said calmly and expressionlessly.  Song Mingyuan's pupils tightened, "Are you from the Secrecy Bureau?" "Huh, aren't you also in the same group?" Zhao Minggang snorted and asked with a sneer: "How about it, tell me honestly, who do you belong to? Ri Bente  Higher education? Or the military commander in Nanjing? " "Humph, I don't know what you are talking about." Song Mingyuan lowered his head and snorted, and moved his right hand towards his back at an imperceptible speed.  "Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to get you to talk. I heard that the military commander and the Japanese special high school have many ways to interrogate prisoners. I really want to test them one by one, but unfortunately I have never had a suitable experimental subject." Zhao Minggang said.  The ease caused Song Mingyuan's expression to change.  "Take it away!" Zhao Minggang's expression changed and he waved his hand.  Two agents holding mirror boxes stepped forward. At this moment, Song Mingyuan suddenly pulled out a pistol from behind, pointed it at Zhao Minggang and shouted at the same time: "Go to hell, I will kill you" "Pa!"  The gunfire rang out, blood suddenly flowed from Song Mingyuan's arm, and the pistol in his hand fell far away.  The agents swarmed up and arrested him, punching and kicking him.  Zhao Minggang waved towards the distant mountains, and a sniper quietly left.  Jilin City, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan is meeting with Shen Xingye. Since the establishment of the Secrecy Bureau, Shen Xingye has rarely appeared in public.  He and the Secrecy Bureau under his command are like shadows that hide everyone. The Secrecy Bureau has completely penetrated into all walks of life of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Just like the Jin Yiwei in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xinghan supervises and controls the garrisons in various places and oversees important military and political affairs.  organize.  In the office, after Shen Xingye closed the door, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said, "Yizhi, come sit down and talk." Shen Xingye nodded and sat down, and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, after this period of time  Through reconnaissance, we arrested several batches of suspicious subjects. After review, it was found that most of them were sent by Nanjing. Among them, our newly established Longxing Military Academy was their primary target for infiltration, hoping to break into our northeastern border defense.  Within the military. There is a student who has performed very well in the military school and is also an ace killer sent by the military commander. His goal is to assassinate you, but fortunately, we have caught him now."  During the night report, Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Yizhi, you did a good job. As for the military commanders, you can kill as many as you want. Bald Jiang is unjust, so don't blame me for being unkind.  Those who have infiltrated the four northeastern provinces, regardless of whether they are in the military, political or industrial sectors, will be severely punished!" After receiving Zhang Xinghan's instructions, Shen Xingye quickly stood up and responded: "Yes! I understand this." "Zhang Xinghan understands.  He waved his hand again to signal him to sit down and asked: "The troops will be heading west in more than a month at most. Please seize the time to search."??Some information about the military strength and defense situation of the Northwest Majia Army in Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and other places.  " "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away.  "Shen Xingye nodded happily. …………Nanjing, the official residence of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. After listening to Dai Li's report, Chairman Chiang's face turned black with anger, and he cursed angrily: "Mother Xipi, mother  Xipi, you are a group of losers, all of them are losers. The party and the state have given you so much funding, and all the people you raise are losers!  " Dai Li was scolded so badly that he lowered his head in obedience, as silent as a cicada and dared not say a word. "I heard that Zhang Xinghan established a navy in the Northeast, right?  "Chairman Chiang asked. Dai Li nodded quickly and said: "Yes, because the latent intelligence network of our Military Command Bureau in the Northeast was greatly damaged by the Northeast Security Bureau, I have just received the news.  "Hmph, this bastard Zhang Xinghan has great ambitions. Now he has the army, navy and air force under his command, with a total strength of more than 600,000 troops. It is much more powerful than the Feng Faction warlords in their heyday."  He has become a serious problem for the party and the country. We must get rid of him as soon as possible. You will make new arrangements after you go back. He must be eliminated as soon as possible at all costs. Do you understand?  "Chairman Chiang snorted with a frosty face. "Yes, I will keep my humble position in mind. I will make arrangements as soon as possible after I return.  "Dai Li quickly lowered his head and said respectfully. "Okay, you can leave first.  "Chairman Chiang waved his hand impatiently. "I resign from this humble position.  "Dai Li withdrew with a respectful look. ……………………… Another month and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has entered the beginning of March of the 23rd year of the Republic of China. Winter has gone and spring has come, everything has recovered, and the weather has also picked up. Northeast Frontier Defense Force  In the war room of the general headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was convening a large military meeting with Jiang Baili and others. The content of the meeting was to decide to deploy an additional 100,000 troops from outside the customs to station in the Pingjin area and the Rehe border area to increase the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The military strength in the pass deterred the Zhongyang Army in North China. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili personally commanded the remaining 170,000 main troops to divide into two groups and begin the western expedition. As early as two months ago, Zhang Xinghan instructed Zang Shiyi to start the army.  In preparation for the expedition, all logistical needs have been completed in the past two months. As for the convenience of intelligence, in the past month or so, the Secrecy Bureau has also brought back a lot of valuable intelligence, including the strength of the Ma Jiajun.  The troops in various places are deployed, etc. The 170,000-strong army has ten army reorganized divisions, an air force flying regiment and a duli tank division. It is divided into two routes on the north road, including two infantry divisions and one tank division, totaling about 50,000 people.  Commanded by Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng, their mission is to set off from the Hulunbuir Prairie, advance to the Inner Mongolia Prairie, and attack northern Ningxia from Inner Mongolia. The main force is the southern route, with a total of eight infantry divisions and a strength of more than 200,000 people. Zhang Xinghan himself.  The command was to leave Rehe from Tongliao, and prepare to attack Chahar first, then Suiyuan, and then invade Ningxia. After the army was assembled, it quickly set off to dispatch the 200,000-strong Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it from the northwest.  Warlords from all over the country. Chahar Zhangjiakou, 41st Army Sun Dianying Military Headquarters Liu Yueting hurriedly came to the door of Sun Dianying's office, knocked on the door and said: "Military seat, military seat!" "Come in.  "Sun Dianying's somewhat angry voice came from inside. "Yueting, what's the matter? It's so urgent.  "In the office, Sun Dianying was lying on his chair and smoking a dry cigarette. The whole room was filled with smoke and the smell of smoke was overwhelming. His tone was slightly reproachful. It was obvious that he blamed Liu Yueting for disturbing his comfort. Liu Yueting could not care about anything else.  , said quickly: "Military seat, something serious has happened.  " "What big thing can happen?  Song Zheyuan is making trouble in the west again?  Sun Dianying said disapprovingly: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."  " " No, it's not.  "Liu Yueting shook his head and said: "It's the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. According to the latest news that I just got, Zhang Xinghan has gathered more than 200,000 troops and is heading towards Chahar!  "    "ah?  Sun Dianying was so frightened that she immediately jumped down from the Grand Master's chair. Her expression changed drastically, and her speech became a little awkward. She said, "Yue, Yueting, what you said, is this true?"  " "It's absolutely true.  "Liu Yueting nodded. "Then, what should we do?  Damn, this is an army of 200,000 people, not 10,000 or 20,000 people. With the combat power of the Northeast Border Guard, an army of 200,000 people is fucking enough to sweep across the entire North China.  Aren’t they here to deal with us?  "Sun Dianying has lost his sense of proportion.?I can't figure out why Zhang Xinghan would use more than 200,000 troops if it was just to deal with himself. If he mobilized troops and labored like this, he would think too highly of himself, right?  "Commander, for the present, we should think of a way quickly. No matter what the purpose of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is, it is impossible for us to withstand their attack with our strength alone." Liu Yueting said with a sad face.  "Think of a way? Think of a way." Sun Dianying trembled and said: "Yue Ting, do you have any good ideas? Tell me quickly." "Military seat, the most important thing right now is that we must make peace with Song Zheyuan and form a police force.  The Harbin Military Defense Alliance united to fight against Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force," Liu Yueting said.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 371: Strength is truth

    "Making peace with Song Zheyuan? Is that possible?" Sun Dianying recalled that not long ago, he and Song Zheyuan fought and both sides suffered losses, although it was Zhang Xinghan who caused trouble.  "But the two sides have lost tens of thousands of troops, are already on the same level, and have a sworn feud. How can they shake hands and make peace, and also form a military alliance?"  When Sun Dianying was hesitating, the guard's report came from outside: "Military seat, Mr. Li Xijiu is here." "Mr. Li is here?" Sun Dianying suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said quickly: "  Please ask Mr. Li to come in, no, I will go out to pick him up myself." After saying that, he walked quickly outside, followed by Liu Yueting.  Pulling Li Xijiu into the office respectfully, Sun Dianying asked Li Xijiu to sit down and asked respectfully: "Mr. Li, we just got news that Zhang Xinghan led an army of more than 200,000 people out of the customs and headed south again, aiming directly at Chahar.  , what should we do? Please pay attention." Li Xijiu frowned and said in deep thought: "Now, Pingjin has become the territory of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, and we have Yan Xishan's Jinsui to the south.  We have the sworn enemy Song Zheyuan in the west, and the Ma Jiajun in the north who is fighting against us. It can be said that there is no way to retreat at all. Therefore, there are only two ways in front of us. The first is to resist to the end, but with the battle of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army.  If we don't have enough strength, resisting to the end will mean the whole army is destroyed. ""What about the second way?" Sun Dianying asked anxiously.  "The second way is to surrender." Li Xijiu said shockingly.  Sun Dianying was a little stunned and said: "Mr. Li, do you mean to ask me to surrender to Zhang Xinghan?"  The strength is not as good as ours. The Ma Jiajun in the north and the Jinsui Army in the south are both candidates for our surrender. However, surrendering to Zhang Xinghan is not out of the question. Although Zhang Xinghan is now very powerful, he has a good reputation and everyone surrenders to him.  Almost all of the generals who surrendered were re-employed, regardless of past grievances. If Chairman Sun surrendered, he might be able to keep his position as commander of the 41st Army. Even if it didn't work, he would be the commander of the reorganized division. "Li Xijiu said.  "What about the Jinsui Army and the Majia Army? Can't we surrender to them?" Liu Yueting asked.  Li Xijiu shook his head slightly: "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. With the character of Yan Xishan and Ma Jiajun, if Chairman Sun surrenders to them, he will definitely lose his military power and take the opportunity to eat our 41st Army." Actually, Li Xijiu has something to say.  If you haven't said it clearly, you, Sun Dianying, are capricious and good at opportunism. Except for Zhang Xinghan, who may be generous enough to leave you an official position, who else would dare to tolerate you?  "Let me think about this." Although Sun Dianying was desperate, he really couldn't make up his mind for the moment. In any case, he still had tens of thousands of troops under his command. Before the most critical moment, he would surrender directly. It was more or less so.  Not willing to give in.  Li Xijiu nodded, expressed understanding, and said: "Chairman Sun, please think about it slowly, but I would like to advise you that some decisions are better made early, but the character will be different if they are made late."  Zhang Xinghan's 120,000-strong Southern Route Army had entered Jehol at this time, and Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili also arrived at the provincial capital Chengde with their guard battalions.  A conference room in Chengde’s municipal government compound has been temporarily transformed into Zhang Xinghan’s headquarters.  The map has been hung up. Jiang Baili pointed at the map and said: "Commander, our forward troops have arrived in Fengning and are heading towards Chicheng. They have not yet encountered resistance from Sun Dianying's army." "Send power to Sun Dianying and tell him that he only has one chance."  If you get the chance, lead your troops to surrender immediately. If it's too late, don't blame our army for its ruthless artillery fire." Zhang Xinghan said coldly.  "Commander, if Sun Dianying agrees to surrender, do you really plan to take him in?" Jiang Baili said with some worry: "This man is different from others. He and Shi Yousan are both No. 1 figures. They are extremely good at opportunism and have no reputation for loyalty.  "You have to be careful when using people like this." Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Chief of Staff, you are overthinking. I know better than you what kind of person Sun Dianying is. It is not Sun Dianying that I want.  But the more than 30,000 soldiers under him who fought for the rest of their lives. "Then the commander-in-chief is planning to?" Jiang Baili made a wiping gesture on his neck. "Killing him is not enough, but such a person must not be killed."  Lead troops again, otherwise something big will happen sooner or later.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "The commander is wise.  "Jiang Baili nodded appreciatively. ……………………… Zhangjiakou, Li XijiuAlready gone, Sun Dianying was still indecisive with a frown on her face. Now she didn't even think about smoking. She was restless and pacing back and forth.  Although Liu Yueting watched anxiously, he did not dare to say anything at this time, for fear that Sun Dianying would vent his anger on himself.  At this moment, a communications adjutant came in with a telegram in hand and saluted Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting: "Chairman, Commander Liu, we just received a call from Zhang Xinghan, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force." "Huh?" Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting said.  Liu Yueting was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What does the message say?" The communications adjutant lowered his head and looked at the message, hesitating and hesitating.  Seeing this, Sun Dianying immediately reached out and grabbed the message impatiently.  After taking the message and reading it quickly, Sun Dianying’s expression became more solemn.  Seeing his appearance, Liu Yueting on the side asked hurriedly: "Military seat, military seat, what's wrong? What did the message say?" "Zhang Xinghan asked me to surrender, and said he would only give me this one chance." Sun Dianying was cold.  vocal channel.  "Only one chance?" Liu Yueting took the message from him. After reading it, he looked at Sun Dianying with an unnatural expression.  After a long time, Liu Yueting asked tentatively: "Chairman, Chairman, what should we do?" "Surrender, call Zhang Xinghan back and say that I am willing to surrender." Sun Dianying sighed, but he was beating him in his heart.  Xiao Jiujiu.  "Commander, do we really want to surrender?" Liu Yueting asked with some uncertainty.  "Well, I have no choice. I can't win after fighting, and there is no place to escape, so I have no choice but to surrender." Perhaps because he had finished the calculation in his mind, Sun Dianying nodded in agreement more happily than before.  ………………… Chengde, Jiang Baili excitedly took the telegram and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Sun Dianying called back." "Oh? What did you say in the call back?" Zhang Xinghan asked with interest.  "He has agreed to surrender to our army, but hopes to preserve the organization of their 41st Army." Jiang Baili said.  "It's easy to say, first inform our vanguard troops to immediately accept Chicheng and advance towards Zhangjiakou and other Chahar hinterlands." Zhang Xinghan said with a playful smile.  With an order from Sun Dianying, more than 30,000 people in the 41st Army laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Northeast Border Guards.  The next day, the Northeast Border Guard occupied all the areas east of Zhangjiakou.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived at Zhangjiakou under the escort of a large number of security forces.  Sun Dianying, Liu Yueting, Li Xijiu and others had already left the city to greet him and had been waiting for a long time.  Of course, they were "accompanied" by officers and soldiers of a certain regiment of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army when they came out of the city to greet him. Secretly, the agents of the Northeast Secret Bureau were not idle either, monitoring every move of Sun Dianying and his generals.  "Commander Sun, Commander Liu, Mr. Li, long time no see, long time no see!" Zhang Xinghan got out of the car and greeted loudly with a smile.  Looking at the Northeast Border Guard officers and soldiers who were shouting in front of and behind them, Sun Dianying felt like he had been fooled, but at this point, he had no choice but to hold on to his smile and said: "I respectfully welcome Commander-in-Chief Zhang and Chief of Staff Chiang Kai-shek in this humble position."  The arrival.” After saying that, he deliberately lowered his head and bent down to show respect.  "You're welcome, you're welcome." Zhang Xinghan accepted his respect calmly and said with a smile: "Okay, don't hang around here. Let's talk after we go to the city. We will talk after we go to the city." After that, he  Taking the lead and walking forward, Sun Dianying and others had to follow Zhang Xinghan cautiously.  After entering the city, Zhang Xinghan sat on Sun Dianying's chairman's chair. Jiang Baili stood aside, and Sun Dianying and others stood on both sides.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan was just smoking with his head down and not mentioning his own resettlement issue, Sun Dianying lost his temper and winked at Liu Yueting.  Liu Yueting had no choice but to take the lead and said: "Commander Zhang, our Chairman Sun has agreed to accept your reorganization. I wonder what specific arrangements you have for our 41st Army?" "Arrangements?" Zhang Xinghan was deliberately confused and looked at a loss.  They looked around and asked: "What arrangement?" Liu Yueting and Sun Dianying's expressions suddenly changed, but they still held back their anger and asked patiently: "It's about the arrangement for the reorganization of our 41st Army." "Oh, this.  Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized and said: "The 41st Army's designation will be canceled from now on. The officers and soldiers will be divided into two reorganized divisions, designated as the 217th Division and the 218th Division, which are directly under the jurisdiction of our Northeast Border Defense Army Headquarters." The two heard this.  Overjoyed, he quickly bowed his head to Zhang Xinghan and thanked him: "Thank you Commander-in-Chief Zhang for your cultivation. I will do my best to lead the troops and serve Commander-in-Chief Zhang."?Command allegiance.  " "Leading troops?  "Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "No, no, from now on, Commander Liu and Commander Sun, you don't need to lead troops anymore. Go to the Northeast and think about your happiness. I will arrange for you to be a county magistrate or something like that. No need.  I have been living in fear every day, licking blood from the tip of a knife.  "    "What?  Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting were shocked when they heard this. Their faces changed instantly, and their eyes were filled with the anger of being deceived. "What, do you have any objections?"  "Zhang Xinghan was not angry, he looked up at them and asked. Sensing the murderous look in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, the two of them were excited and shook their heads quickly: "No, no, I will obey the arrangements of Commander-in-Chief Zhang.  "

    After people sent Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting away, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help laughing.  Jiang Baili said worriedly at the side: "Commander, if we just increase Sun Dianying's military power without killing him, will there be any hidden dangers?" "Hidden dangers? No, you underestimate the security of our Secrecy Bureau.  I have the ability." Zhang Xinghan shook his head. Back then, Chairman Chiang was able to imprison Zhang Xiaoliu for more than half a century. No one asked about the tomb robber Sun Dianying even after his death. How could his own Secrecy Bureau still not be able to keep him?  Then what is the need for this secrecy bureau?  "Well, Commander, then Chanan and Chaxi are next. Should we attack directly, or use the same method as we used to deal with Sun Dianying?" Jiang Baili nodded and asked.  "This kind of method is also used to deal with Sun Dianying. The 29th Army has many capable people, which are not comparable to the 41st Army." Zhang Xinghan paused and said: "Let the troops press to the southwest first. Let's see.  What are their reactions? If we really can't agree, we can only speak with our fists. " "Okay, I'll go and deliver the order." Jiang Baili accepted the order happily.  ?????………… Xinghe County, 29th Army Provisional Headquarters.  Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong, Xiao Zhenying and Tong Linge and other senior generals are all on the list.  Since the last bloody battle between Sun Dianying and the 41st Army, the strength of the 29th Army has been greatly reduced and its vitality has been severely damaged, and it has not been able to recover to this day.  As soon as he heard that Zhang Xinghan led the Northeast Frontier Defense Force with more than 200,000 troops to march westward, Sun Dianying immediately surrendered without even resisting.  Xiao Zhenying and others immediately summoned Zhang Zizhong and other senior generals to urgently discuss the military situation.  Looking at everyone present, Xiao Zhenying took the lead and said: "My colleagues, now Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force has captured Zhangjiakou without any blood, and the frontline is directed at the Cha'nan and Chaxi areas. The target is obviously us, what should we do now?  What to do? Everyone can come up with any good solutions." Everyone looked at each other, but shook their heads. No one could come up with any good solutions.  Zhang Zizhong stood up at this time and said: "Chief of Staff, I have some opinions on this. I don't know whether to talk about it or not." "Speak, there is nothing you can't talk about." Xiao Zhenying waved his hand.  Zhang Zizhong nodded and said: "At present, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. The strength of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is more than ten times that of ours, and the level of weapons and equipment is far behind. If such a war is to be fought, we have no chance at all.  There is no chance of winning. This is not about resisting Japanese aggression. Even if we know we are losing and we know the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours is huge, we still have to fight to the death to protect our country. This is a matter between ourselves as Chinese people. I don’t think so.  There is nothing that cannot be discussed with Zhang Xinghan. Judging from his performance in the previous series of battles against the Japanese invaders, he should be a patriotic man who is fairly loyal to the country and the nation. "Zhang Zizhong has only the most prestige in the 29th Army.  Second to Xiao Zhenying, his words are still very weighty.  As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked uncertainly: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean to let us negotiate peace with Zhang Xinghan?" "It's not that we negotiate with him, but that we seek peace with him." Zhang Zizhong said: "As long as we can preserve peace.  Everything is easy to say about the personnel establishment of our 29th Army. " "Preserve our personnel establishment? Commander Zhang, Sun Dianying did this, and Zhang Xinghan also agreed, but what happened after the Northeast Frontier Defense Force entered Zhangjiakou?  I also saw it. If we really let the Northeast Border Guard enter the city, it will be too late." Liu Ruming was the one who spoke.  "I won't comment on this, but wouldn't it be better for Sun Dianying to suffer such retribution?" Zhang Zizhong paused and said: "But, there is one thing we have to make clear. If we don't talk about it, then Zhang Xinghan  The Northeastern Border Guards will also capture the entire Chahar, but they will walk over the corpses of more than 20,000 of our soldiers. So we have to talk to Zhang Xinghan, but we will never surrender without status. "  "Then how to negotiate? Will Zhang Xinghan negotiate fairly with us when the strength of the two sides is extremely unequal?" Liu Ruming asked in confusion.  "It's hard to say, so we need to send people to explore Zhang Xinghan's tone and find out his combat intentions and goals first, so that we can prescribe the right medicine to deal with it." Zhang Zizhong said.  "Mr. Zhang, this suggestion was made by you. Then you will serve as the liaison officer between the two parties and be responsible for negotiating with Zhang Xinghan. Of course, now is the time to find out." Xiao Zhenying's eyes lit up.  "Okay, I'll try to take a trip!" Zhang Zizhong saw that everyone was focusing on him and could only nod.  ???………………………; In Zhangjiakou, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were discussing the next military action around the map, and Guo Zhong walked in quickly with a message in hand.  He stood up to the two men and saluted: "Commander, Chief of Staff, the 29th Army is calling." "Read it." Zhang Xinghan said without raising his head.  "The 29th Army called and said that they want to discuss with us a peaceful solution to the situation in Chahar. If the commander agrees to meet, they will send General Zhang Zizhong to come and have discussions with us in person." Guo Zhongnian said.  "Zhang Zizhong?" Zhang Xinghan still admired this patriotic general's performance in history, so he was not so disgusted in his heart. He looked at Jiang Baili and said: "Chief of Staff, what do you think? Do we want to see them?" "  It's okay to meet them, but what's the key to the negotiation? What are they talking about with us?" Jiang Baili said matter-of-factly.  "Actually, I'm also very curious. Anyway, our Northern Route Army is still marching. We are not in a hurry, so let's meet them." Zhang Xinghan said with a slight smile.  About seven or eight hours later, Zhang Zizhong arrived at Zhangjiakou with a group of subordinates riding war horses.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili met this famous anti-Japanese general in history at the headquarters. They saw him, about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, and a pair of piercing tiger eyes.  It was also the first time that Zhang Xinghan really saw Zhang Xinghan. Seeing that he was so young, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, he really is a hero born in a boy.  "Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 38th Division of the 29th Army Ground of the National Revolutionary Army, was ordered to come and discuss with Commander-in-Chief Zhang on the peaceful resolution of the situation in Chahar." Zhang Zizhong first stated his intention and identity.  Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised. Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, please sit down and talk." After Zhang Zizhong nodded and sat down, Jiang Baili received Zhang Xinghan's signal and asked: "Mr. Zhang  , I wonder what your thoughts are? Is Chahar going to fight or make peace?" Zhang Zizhong did not directly answer Jiang Baili's question, but turned to look at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander-in-Chief, there is an ancient poem.  , the beans are boiled and made into a soup, and the beans are boiled under the pot to make a soup.  Why should we kill each other and do things that make our enemies happy and our relatives painful? " "Yes, we are indeed Paoze brothers. As long as the 29th Army all puts on the uniforms of our Northeast Army, then we will follow our Northeast Border Defense.  The army's battle order will be reorganized, and everyone will be brothers," Zhang Xinghan said lukewarmly.  Zhang Zizhong’s tone was startled. He didn’t expect Zhang Xinghan to be so good at talking.  "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, is there really no room for negotiation? Is it true that your two armies are facing each other at war, and it is miserable to see the blood of Chahar's fellow villagers?" Zhang Zizhong asked unwillingly.  road.  "General Zhang, I think you are quite loyal, so I will tell you again. Whether the Chahar Incident will be resolved peacefully or become a bloody river is entirely decided by the top brass of your 29th Army. If you are not selfish,  Why can't I put on the uniform of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and receive unified and standardized reorganization and training? Do I, Zhang Xinghan, really intend to support my own self-respect, or am I a man who sincerely throws his life and blood to fight against the Japanese? I believe in the forty thousand people.  People's eyes are sharp. "Zhang Zizhong was speechless by the question. He muttered a few words in a low voice, raised his head and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander Zhang, please think again." "I have already thought about it clearly.  "General Zhang, go back and bring my words to you. If you are unwilling to accept a peaceful solution before sundown tomorrow, then I will have no choice but to use force to solve it," Zhang Xinghan said firmly.  "Oh, okay, I'll go back and report to our military." Zhang Zizhong sighed helplessly.  After getting up to say goodbye, he quickly disappeared under the night sky on his war horse.  …………………… Xinghe County, at dawn the next day, Zhang Zizhong returned with a face. Everyone in the 29th Army’s military headquarters had obviously not slept all night. Seeing Zhang Zizhong’s arrival, they left separately.  He came up and asked, "How is it? How is the conversation? How was the conversation?" "Everyone, please stay quiet." Xiao Zhenying stretched out his hand to stop the noisy crowd and said to Zhang Zizhong: "Brother Xinchen, how was the conversation? How was the conversation?  How?" Zhang Zizhong shook his head and said: "Zhang Xinghan's attitude is very tenacious and there is no room for negotiation. He must accept his reorganization." "Then have you found out their ultimate strategic goal?" Liu Ruming asked.  Zhang Zizhong still shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Xinghan's attitude?Very cold and determined. I didn't have time to talk to him in detail, and he didn't give us the chance.  " "Then what should we do?  "Everyone looked at Xiao Zhenying and Song Zheyuan with hopes on their faces. Xiao Zhenying pondered for a long time, and after a glance with Song Zheyuan and Tong Linge, he said: "Since Zhang Xinghan won't give us a chance for peace talks, then we will find another way.  "    "any solution?  Liu Ruming asked. "Abandon Chahar and retreat to Suiyuan or the Shanxi border."  "Xiao Zhenying said.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 373: Advance westward along the Pingsui Line

    "Retreat to Shanxi? Can the Jinsui Army agree to our withdrawal to their territory?" Liu Ruming asked.  "We can discuss this with Yan Xishan. I think Yan Xishan will not refuse us, because with us guarding the Shanxi border, we can form a buffer zone for him to prevent the Northeastern border troops from directly attacking Shanxi." Xiao Zhenying  road.  Song Zheyuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, stood up and said: "Everyone, since everyone has no objection to the chief of staff's suggestion, let's act quickly. The sooner the better, otherwise once the Northeast Frontier Defense Force learns,  They will definitely pursue us, and then our retreat will become a problem, but it will be very bad." "Yes!" A group of senior officers of the 29th Army, including Zhang Zizhong and Liu Ruming, stood up at the same time.  ………………… Zhangjiakou, it has been a day and a night since Zhang Zizhong left, and there is still no reply from the 29th Army.  In the headquarters, Jiang Baili asked Zhang Xinghan in confusion: "Commander, why didn't you temporarily agree to Zhang Zizhong's request for peace talks yesterday? Then deal with them like you dealt with Sun Dianying." Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and smiled.  : "I said that there are many talented people in the 29th Army. Even if we agree to peace talks with them, they will not really surrender to us like Sun Dianying's 41st Army, so we want to fool them. The southern crossing is too big. And this  The second Western Expedition is imminent. The small 29th Army, with less than 30,000 troops, is really not our most important goal. Our most important goal is the Ma Jiajun in the northwest. They have ruled the northwest for a long time, and there are many ethnic minorities in the northwest and their religious beliefs.  "Ma Jiajun is good at exploiting various ethnic and religious conflicts. He is a difficult opponent and must be treated with caution." Suddenly, a communications soldier hurried in and reported to Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili without even saluting.  : "The chief, the attendants, the forward troops report that they found that all the 29th officers in front of them have been evacuated." "Withdrawn?" Jiang Baili was a little surprised.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "You see, this is a bunch of talented people like them. They would rather run away than live under others for a long time and accept my command. If I am a **, they are hypocritical and selfish hypocrites."  "Commander, what should we do next?" Jiang Baili asked, "Should we send troops to pursue them?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said, "It's not necessary to pursue them. If they don't want to stay, then don't regret it, not us."  Didn't give them a chance." Walking to the map and swiping his pen, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered: "Order the 212th Division to seize Xinghe County immediately, and prepare to march to Ulanqab." "Yes," Jiang Baili pressed hard.  Nodding, he turned around and took the order.  The eight divisions led by Zhang Xinghan are the 210th, 211th, 212th, 213th, 214th, 215th, 216th, and 217th Divisions. The composition of the main force is basically the former Northeastern Army captured and incorporated in the Battle of Pingjin more than half a year ago.  However, after more than half a year of reorganization, transformation and infiltration, more than 70% of the mid-level and junior officers in these divisions are former elites from various units selected by Zhang Xinghan from other units and even Longxing Military Academy.  It can be said that the old Northeastern Army of 100,000 troops has been firmly in the hands of Zhang Xinghan.  “This group of troops are elite veterans of the Northeast Army. During their previous service in the Northeast Army, they were affected by various factors such as weapons and equipment, which caused them to fail to exert their due combat effectiveness.  But now, after joining the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the weapons, equipment and logistical support are all the same, and the combat power has naturally increased sharply. Compared with Zhang Xinghan's original ten reorganized direct divisions, it is not far behind, because these officers and soldiers are basically one person.  All are veterans who have served for more than three years.  I have been training for a long time when I was in the Northeastern Army. Many of them are elite veterans brought out by Zhang Xueliang. After going through the Battle of Pingjin when I came out of the border, and the subsequent battle against Shi Yousan, my training level and combat experience are all high.  pretty good.  For this western expedition, Zhang Xinghan mobilized nearly 200,000 land and air forces, all of which were elite veterans with combat experience, aiming to defeat the Ma Jiajun in the northwest and completely occupy several northwest provinces.  In terms of military strength, the total number of regular troops that the four-horse Ma's Army could muster at this time was less than 100,000. The equipment was inferior and was not at the same level as the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Even the Jinsui Army and Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army were inferior.  Therefore, in this Western Expedition, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force had an absolute advantage. The only thing that needs to be noted is that the ethnic minorities in the northwest are gathered together, and the Ma Jiajun is mostly composed of Muslims. It is likely that the disputes between various ethnic groups will be used to organize the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to enter the northwest. Therefore,  Want to conquer the northwest??It is necessary to deal with the conflicts that may break out among the local ethnic groups and appease them.  The main force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force left the border in large numbers and captured Chahar without a single blow. Naturally, such a big movement could not be hidden from the eyes of the Ma Jiajun.  Chahar was captured by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, and Ningma, headed by brothers Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui, bore the brunt.  Ningma’s sphere of influence is based on Ningxia and radiates to the Ma Jiajun that exists in Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Its military strength is slightly weaker than that of Qingma led by Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing.  There is only one newly-organized unit and one newly-organized 7th Division. Its main components are three brigades and a special agent regiment that Ma Hongkui brought back after the Central Plains War. After several years of expansion, the strength of the regular army has reached more than 25,000.  people.  There is also Ma Hongbin’s 35th Division, with about 10,000 people, plus several cavalry regiments and a group of militia groups. Ningma’s total strength is about 60,000 to 70,000, of which less than 40,000 are regular troops.  Ma Hongkui was shocked when he learned that the Northeastern Border Guard troops were leaving the border in two groups. He quickly summoned his elder brother Ma Hongbin and other close generals to discuss countermeasures.  The capital of Ningma is located in Yinchuan City, the capital of Ningxia Province, in Ma Hongkui's Provincial Chairman's Office Building.  Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin and a group of senior generals from Ningma, a total of more than ten people, were conducting emergency consultations in a conference room.  A fat, middle-aged man in his forties wearing a military uniform sat at the front. This man was Ma Hongkui, Chairman of Ningxia Province. Sitting below and to his left was Ma Hongbin.  Everyone present at the meeting was Erma’s confidant, but they were extremely nervous at this moment. There was no longer the lively laughter in the meeting room in the past, and the entire meeting room was silent.  "Brothers, the Northeast King Zhang Xinghan personally led more than 200,000 land and air troops to march westward in two directions. In just a few days, he captured Chahar without any blood. According to the news from the front, its forward troops have already moved towards Ulan Chahar.  This is a sign of advance, and his actions are very intriguing. What do you think of this?" Ma Hongkui broke the silence and asked, looking at everyone.  Hearing what Ma Hongkui said, everyone's expressions changed again. Before coming, some of them knew more or less about the situation, but they did not expect that the situation would be so serious.  They are aware of the glorious achievements of the Northeastern Border Guards. More than 200,000 troops swept across the Korean Peninsula in less than a month, and the Japanese Kwantung Army was wiped out by hundreds of thousands of troops.  Behind these brilliant achievements is the performance of strong combat power. Now that Zhang Xinghan has mobilized more than 200,000 land and air forces to march westward in a massive way, how can they not feel trembling and fearful?  Ma Hongbin, who was sitting on the lower left side of Ma Hongkui, glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "Shaoyun, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is so powerful that our Ningxia Army cannot contend alone. I suggest that you contact Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing immediately and gather together.  The Ma Jiajun of our two provinces must fight against Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Army with all their strength, so that we can win." Ma Hongkui nodded when he heard this and said, "What the elder brother said is true. I will send someone to contact the Ma Bufang brothers. I hope they can win."  They can put the overall situation first, join forces with us to fight against the enemy, and protect the northwest together! " "They will definitely do it. Our relationship with the Qinghai Navy is at odds with each other. Zhang Xinghan is powerful. In order to avoid being defeated one by one, we are the only four.  Only by joining forces can we protect the northwest!" Ma Hongbin said.  Ma Hongkui nodded in agreement, and then ordered his subordinates to draft a message to contact the Qingma Army.  At the same time, he said to Ma Hongbin: "Brother, if the Northeast Frontier Defense Force decides to advance westward, the Shanxi-Sui Army in Ulanqab and Guisui (now Hohhot) may not block its westward advance, so I think we should make preparations in advance.  "That's right." "Well, I suggest that we immediately mobilize three cavalry regiments and four militia regiments to garrison Jiuyuan to prevent the Northeast Border Guards from crossing the river into Ning! In addition, we urgently recruit Xiangyong to train militia regiments, just in case!"  He nodded.  "Okay, that's very good. In addition, I also suggest that the main force of our two divisions should march eastward along the Yellow River and set up defenses in Wuyuan as the second line of defense to resolutely block the Northeastern border defense forces and wait for reinforcements from Qinghai!" Ma Hongkui!  He nodded cheerfully.  ………………… Ulanqab and Guisui now belong to Suiyuan Province. At this time, most of Suiyuan Province was under the control of the Shanxi-Sui Army of warlord Yan Xishan.  The main force of the Jinsui Army stationed in Suiyuan is Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army and some local armed forces, with only two divisions and less than 40,000 troops.  “And stationed in various parts of Suiyuan Province, the number of troops that can be concentrated in Guisui and Ulanqab is less than 20,000.  After the 29th Army fled south, Zhang Xinghan commanded the troops to take over all Chahar counties, while ordering Shen Ke to lead the 212th Division to advance westward along the Pingsui Railway.  It took only one day and one night for the 212th Division to march quickly to Ulanqab Station. The defenders of the 35th Army did not dare to resist, so they orderedOrder to retreat and get out of the way.  After the 212th Division retained more than a thousand troops directly under the division headquarters, the main force continued to advance westward along the railway line, with its troops directed towards Guisui, the capital of Suiyuan Province.  In a critical moment, Fu Zuoyi called Yan Xishan urgently and asked for countermeasures.  At this time, Yan Xishan was very angry because he failed to gain any benefits from the Battle of Pingjin.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 374: Marching into Ningxia

    Yan Xishan was indeed very annoyed. The battle of Pingjin was a laborious battle, but before the Shanxi-Sui army arrived, the battle of Pingjin had already ended with the complete victory of the Northeastern Frontier Force.  . What happened next made Yan Xishan even more angry. The two cavalry divisions that the Northeast Army retreated from had nearly 20,000 troops. Chief Yan wanted to take them as his own to make up for the expense of sending troops this time.  .  But unexpectedly, before he could take action, Xu Tingyao's Central Army was one unit ahead of him, and directly took a letter of appointment from the Nanjing Central Government to integrate the two cavalry divisions.  The Jinsui Army's 100,000-strong army worked hard, but in the end they didn't even catch a single hair and returned empty-handed. They basically formed a rift with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  There is really a tendency to lose his wife and lose his troops.  Therefore, when Fu Zuoyi's urgent telegram from Suiyuan was presented to Chief Yan, Chief Yan changed his good temper in the past and became furious. He repeatedly scolded Zhang Xinghan for going too far and ordered Fu Zuoyi to use all his strength.  Resistance, and prepared to mobilize the Jinsui Army to attack Pingjin again northward and expel the Northeast Frontier Defense Force from the pass.  Fortunately, Yang Aiyuan arrived in time and stopped Yan Laoxi's impulsive move. He tried hard to persuade him: "Chairman, you must not do this. Now the Northeast Frontier Army is marching westward, and there is no sign of attacking our three Jins. It is obvious that they are  In order to march into the northwest, we don't have to take the flames of war on ourselves!" "But, but, they have already marched towards Suiyuan!" Yan Laoxi's face turned red with anger.  "Chairman, please calm down. This is not a bad thing for us. Since the Northeast Frontier Army intends to advance westward, it will inevitably have a fierce battle with the Ma Jiajun. We just have to give way to the Pingsui Line and wait for it to fight with the Ma Jiajun. Both sides will lose, and all the main forces will suffer.  When advancing westward, we will send troops to intercept its rear depending on the situation, and we can regain the Pingsui line in one fell swoop. By then, it will not be too late to send troops north to attack Pingjin. We must not start a war with the Northeast Frontier Defense Force at this time, otherwise Zhang Xinghan will.  Cancel the westward strategy, unite its hundreds of thousands of troops in the Pingjin area, and attack Shanxi with more than 300,000 troops, and our foundation of the Three Jin Dynasties will be in danger!" Yang Aiyuan advised earnestly.  Yan Xishan regarded Yang Aiyuan as a confidant of Humerus, so his persuasion worked quickly. He pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Thanks to Xingru for persuading me, otherwise it would have been a big mistake, so we will tolerate it for the time being.  Called back to Fu Yisheng, asking him to voluntarily abandon the places along the Pingsui Railway and let the Northeastern Border Guards pass. The troops would withdraw south to the vicinity of Datong and rest and standby! " "Yes!" Yang Aiyuan was so pleased that he immediately lowered his head and accepted the order.  .  …………………… Nanjing City, the official residence of the leader.  Chen Cheng hurriedly arrived outside Chairman Chiang's office. Seeing the door open, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Commissioner!" Chairman Chiang was standing in front of the window with a cane and staring at the sky outside the window. He turned his head when he heard the sound.  Said: "Ci Xiu, are you here? Come in." Chen Cheng nodded and walked in. The two sat down in order.  Chairman Chiang leaned on his cane with both hands and said with a serious face: "Ci Xiu, Zhang Xinghan has sent troops again. Do you know about this?" Chen Cheng nodded and said: "Well, I just learned about this." "What do you think about this?"  What do you think?" Chairman Jiang asked.  Chen Cheng said: "Zhang Xinghan's move is obvious. He wants to plot the northwest and expand his existing territory." "I know this. I mean, do you have any ideas? What should we do?" Chairman Jiang said.  Chen Cheng pondered for a while and said: "Commissioner, purely from the perspective of military deployment, Zhang Xinghan had made full preparations before sending troops. Not to mention the Korean Peninsula and the four provinces outside the Pass, just take the Pingjin area. According to our knowledge,  The information available shows that after the New Year's Pass, the Northeastern Army entered the Pass along the railway, with a cumulative strength of more than four divisions. In other words, including the original Northeastern Border Defense Force's garrison in Pingjin, its total strength inside the Pass has reached at least 100,000.  It has the size of seven divisions, with a strength of 120,000 to 30,000, well-equipped, and supported by the air force. Its combat power must not be underestimated. However, the strength of our Central Army in North China is already at a disadvantage. The Shandong Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army are at a disadvantage.  It is impossible to fully cooperate with me because of intrigues. "Now we are in a critical period of suppressing bandits, and we really can't spare the troops to go north and intervene in the northwest battle." Chairman Chiang nodded silently, and after a long time, he sighed: "Oh, chi."  Before the bandits were eliminated, Zhang Xinghan had become the second Northeastern king in the Northeast, and he was the most serious enemy of the party and the state. He said that those who compete with the Kuomintang for the world must be the Northeastern Army. I regret not doing so. " Chen Cheng was silent, Zhang Xinghan was short!  In just over three years, the Northeast was pacified, Korea was pacified, and Pingjin was conquered. This was something that no one expected.?? His development speed is simply too fast, too fast for people to deal with, let alone stop it in advance.  Now, Chen Cheng can understand Chairman Chiang's mood at this time. He can do nothing but sigh and shake his head.  "Forget it, the great cause of suppressing bandits has begun to bear fruit. The north of the Yellow River is currently out of reach. Let's ignore it for the time being. Xu Tingyao is strictly ordered to pay close attention to the trends of the battle in the northwest. At the same time, he will send electricity to the four horses in the northwest to encourage them to resist the attack of the northeastern border troops. If necessary  The Central Committee will provide support at that time!" Chairman Jiang sighed helplessly.  Chen Cheng said: "Committee, don't be too pessimistic. Although we are temporarily unable to go north to interfere with the progress of the northwest war, there are people who are more anxious than us." "You mean Yan Baichuan?" Chairman Jiang looked at Chen Cheng in surprise.  Chen Cheng nodded and said: "Indeed, if the Northeast Frontier Defense Army wants to advance westward, it will inevitably pass through Suiyuan, not to mention that Suiyuan is now an area controlled by the Shanxi-Sui Army. Once the four horses in the northwest are defeated by Zhang Xinghan and annex the northwest, they will be unable to sit still.  It's Yan Baichuan, so don't worry at all. Once the time comes, Yan Baichuan will definitely have a fight with Zhang Xinghan, and we can take the opportunity to send troops and reap the benefits. " "Well, it's really good." Chairman Chiang.  Nodding happily, he stood up and said: "Then send power to Jingzhi and ask him to supervise Han Fuqu and order the main force of the Shandong Army to return to the north of the Yellow River and stand by to march north! Be ready to join the Central Army to attack Pingjin at any time." "Yes, I will do it immediately."  ." Chen Cheng stood up, bowed his head respectfully, and then turned around and left.  ……………………… Zhangjiakou, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "Commander, the 212th Division has passed Ulanqab and is advancing towards Guisui. It has not encountered any obstruction so far." Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghan with a telegram.  "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked, "Is there any movement in Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army?" "No, when our army arrived in Ulanqab, the garrison had already withdrawn south and there was no fierce battle with our army. Shen  "Ke followed your order and did not pursue, and continued to advance westward along the railway line," Jiang Baili replied.  "Yan Xishan, this old fox, gave up the important area of ????Pingsui Railway so happily just to avoid fighting with us. He is waiting for our army to fight with the Ma Jiajun in the northwest and then come out to reap the benefits." Zhang Xinghan  He looked at the map and said angrily.  "It is indeed possible, so sir, should we make some preparations in advance, just in case?" Jiang Baili nodded and asked for instructions.  "Preparation? I have assembled nearly 140,000 troops in Pingjin. These troops are enough to deter the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army in North China. The only thing that needs attention is Chahar, which will be an important logistics supply line for our Western Expedition.  "I have decided to leave two infantry divisions and three tank regiments to guard the Chahar traffic arteries, and two infantry divisions to guard the Pingsui line. What do you think, chief of staff?" Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  "Well, that's very good. This logistics supply line is extremely important. With these troops stationed, we won't be afraid of the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army causing trouble behind their backs." Jiang Baili frowned and said, "It's just that this way we can use it to attack  There are only more than 100,000 troops in the northwest. Will it be a little insufficient to deal with the joint resistance of Ningma and Qingma? " "No, Chief of Staff, you have too high a view of the strength of the Ma Jiajun. If not?  Taking into account the quick victory, attacking the northwest with 50,000 elites is enough. "Zhang Xinghan did have this confidence. In the original history, Sun Dianying's 70,000 rabble dared to advance westward. If it weren't for the Jinsui Army and Chairman Chiang's mischief, they would not have been able to do so.  He almost defeated the Ma Jiajun and annexed the northwest.  Not to mention his 100,000-strong army now?  Zhang Xinghan still has absolute confidence in his troops. This confidence comes from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's perfect and powerful logistics supply system and advanced weapons and equipment.  "Chief of Staff, let the servicemen clean up. It's time for us to move westward. We can't stay here any longer." Zhang Xinghan ordered Jiang Baili.  "Okay, I'll have someone prepare for the transfer right away." Jiang Baili responded quickly, turned around and left.  That afternoon, after leaving two infantry divisions and three direct tank regiments behind, they led the main force to continue marching westward, and met up with Liu Guodong's Northern Route Army in Ulanqab the next day.  At this time, Shen Ke's 212th Division had entered Guisui, and its forward had advanced along the railway towards Baotou County.  Zhang Xinghan immediately left Liu Guodong to lead two infantry divisions to guard key points along the Pingsui Line. He and Jiang Baili personally led the main force to follow the 212th Division and advance toward Baotou.  Three days later, the 212th Division arrived in Jiuyuan. Three cavalry regiments and four militia regiments from the Ma Jiajun, totaling more than 8,000 people, had arrived early.  The 212th Division Tank Regiment, with the cooperation of its infantry unit,?The Ma Jiajun position in Jiuyuan launched a trial attack. After failure, the 212th Regiment called for air force support.  Immediately, Shen Ke personally commanded the first regiment of the main force to cooperate with the tank regiment to attack again. Although the Ma Jiajun was poorly equipped, the resistance was quite tenacious. The two sides fought fiercely from afternoon to dark.  Although the 212th Division caused heavy casualties to the Ma Jiajun, especially their three cavalry regiments, they were ultimately unable to defeat them and occupy Jiuyuan.  (To be continued.

    News of the continuous defeat of the 212th Division's offensive quickly spread back to Zhang Xinghan. At this time, Zhang Xinghan led the main force to Guisui.  And a temporary headquarters was set up here.  In the headquarters, staff officers and communications personnel were coming in and out, and they were extremely busy.  Jiang Baili took the telegram from a communications officer, read it over, and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, it seems that Ma Jiajun's tenacity exceeds our expectations! Look, this is an urgent telegram from Shen Ke, commander of the 212th Division. Frankly speaking,  The Ma Jiajun resisted tenaciously, and the advance of the troops failed. "Zhang Xinghan took the message and looked at it, and said with a calm expression: "The people in the northwest are strong and have been a gathering place of many ethnic groups since ancient times. It is not surprising that they are martial.  No matter how brave you are, you can never hope to withstand our rain of steel bullets." He paused and said: "Give Shen Ke power. The troops are somewhat tired from marching for a day. We can temporarily stop the attack, rest for the night, and send out tanks and artillery early tomorrow morning.  Troops, make more use of our army's firepower advantage. I will send the air force to support their attack and strive to break through the Ma Jiajun's Jiuyuan defense line in one fell swoop. " "Commander, it is our advantage to have good equipment and strong firepower, but a frontal attack is huge and wasteful.  At this time, I think we can send another elite force to attack behind the enemy, and the enemy's defense line in Jiuyuan will inevitably collapse," Jiang Baili suggested while staring at the map.  Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at the map and said: "You mean to return to Suinan and cross the Yellow River? March into the Yikezhao League? (Today's Ordos)" Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Yes, as long as we capture it  With the Yike Zhao Alliance, the soldiers can directly cross the Yellow River to threaten Yinchuan, the home base of the Ma Jiajun in Ningxia. In this way, the enemy's defense line in Jiuyuan and even the layers of defense behind it will be broken. " "Well, good!  , Just do it." Zhang Xinghan was very satisfied.  Said: "Who do you think is appropriate to entrust this task to?" Jiang Baili pondered for a moment and said: "Commander, don't doubt the people you trust, and don't trust the people you employ. Since you used Shen Ke to lead your troops as the vanguard today, for the sake of fairness, I suggest  By handing over the mission of this roundabout attack to Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan, it can show the commander-in-chief's trust in them, and secondly, it can also test their loyalty. " "Okay, let's send the 213th and 214th divisions.  Go south to the group and cross the Yellow River to attack the Yike Zhao League!" Zhang Xinghan slapped the table and decided.  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan obviously did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would entrust them with important tasks. They were surprised and moved. They immediately led their officers and soldiers to leave Guisui and crossed the Yellow River south to advance towards the Yikezhao League.  At this time, the Yellow River Bridge was occupied by the Ma Jiajun. In order to prevent the Ma Jiajun from destroying the bridge, Taodong Fan personally led the tank regiment directly under the 214th Division to march overnight to the Yellow River Ferry.  The defenders did not expect that the Northeastern Border Guards would arrive so quickly. They were caught off guard and were defeated by the tank regiment led by Taodong Fan.  The 213th and 214th Divisions successfully crossed the Yellow River, and the entire army advanced towards the Yike Zhao League at full speed.  The Northeast Border Guard has achieved full mechanization, and all troop marches are carried out by tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks and motorcycles.  South of the Yellow River and north of the Yikezhao League are all the plains of the Hetao Grassland. The mobility capabilities of the two divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force have been maximized.  In one day, they attacked for more than 100 kilometers and arrived at the gate of Yike Zhaomeng City.  Even the remnants of the Ma Jiajun who fled from the Yellow River crossing were left behind by them.  The Ma Jiajun defenders of the Yike Zhao League were caught off guard and were bombarded by the tank regiment of the Northeast Frontier Army. They abandoned the city in panic and fled.  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan sent a telegram to Zhang Xinghan to report victory, and at the same time commanded the troops to pursue.  While the 213th and 214th Divisions were advancing towards the Yikezhao League at full speed.  Shen Ke's 212th Division also took a night's rest and once again launched a fierce attack on Ma Jiajun's Jiuyuan defense line.  This time, the Northeast Border Guard dispatched hundreds of tanks and artillery.  Plus more than thirty bombers and fighter jets.  The Ma Jiajun's Jiuyuan position instantly turned into a sea of ??fire, with fire everywhere, and the defenses were completely destroyed. The Ma Jiajun suffered heavy casualties. In the afternoon, due to excessive casualties, the Northeast Army broke through the defense line and retreated across the board. More than 8,000 soldiers retreated.  The Ma's army retreated with less than half its strength.  Yinchuan, Ningma Provincial Chairman’s Courtyard.  Ma Hongbin and a group of officials hurriedly arrived at Ma Hongkui's office.  At this moment, Ma Hongkui was furious in the office, and the adjutant and communications personnel who came to report were scolded by him.  "Shaoyun, how is the situation?" Ma Hongbin opened the door and walked in, asking hurriedly.  Seeing the arrival of Ma Hongbin and others, Ma Hongkui's anger calmed down a little, and he said angrily: "The Northeastern Border Guards raided more than 200 kilometers day and night and captured the Yike Zhao League. They can attack at any time."He was able to move his army west across the Yellow River to attack our capital of Yinchuan, and our army's defense line in Jiuyuan was also broken through by the Northeast Border Guards. Their strength was so powerful that it was simply beyond our army's ability to withstand. The situation was extremely critical!  " Ma Hongbin's face became extremely heavy when he heard this, and said: "It seems that we must shrink our troops and prepare for the defense of Yinchuan!  "Shaoyun, have Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing given any answers?"  "Ma Hongbin asked suddenly. "We called back last night and agreed to our request for help, but it will take some time to assemble the troops and march to Yinchuan. Please put up a strong resistance for a while first!  "Ma Hongkui said angrily. "With the mobility and advancement speed of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, we must urge the Qing Navy to speed up and rush to Yinchuan urgently, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.  "Ma Hongbin said in a serious tone: "Now we don't need to take into account other areas. Quickly gather the militia groups from various places, our 35th Division and the main force of your new 7th Division, and deploy them in Yongning and Shizuishan to prepare to fight against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  attack!  " "Well, I'll make arrangements right away. Brother, this time you and I have to work together and go all out, otherwise we will die without a burial place.  "Ma Hongkui said seriously. "Don't worry about this, Shaoyun. I can still tell the difference between the minor and the major. I will have no reservations this time and will definitely cooperate with you to stop Zhang Xinghan!  "Ma Hongbin immediately expressed his position. "Guisui, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Provisional Headquarters. "Commander, good news. The 212th Division has broken through the enemy's defense line in Jiuyuan and is currently moving south along the north bank of the Yellow River.  .  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan also received good news. They traveled 320 miles and captured the Yikezhao League by surprise. They are currently chasing the remnants of the defeated Ma Jiajun and are ready to cross the Yellow River westward and march directly to Yinchuan at any time!  "Jiang Baili happily announced the good news to Zhang Xinghan with a message in his hand. "Okay, well done!  "Zhang Xinghan clapped his hands and turned around from the map, smiled at Jiang Baili and said: "Order the main force to immediately divide into two groups and advance towards Yinchuan to completely defeat Ningma.  " "By the way, is there any news about Ma Jiajun in Qinghai?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "According to the information obtained by the Secrecy Bureau, Ma Bufang issued an emergency assembly order to several brigades under his jurisdiction yesterday. It seems that he received a telegram from Ma Hongkui asking for help.  An attendant from the Secrecy Bureau standing by quickly replied respectfully.  "Huh, it's better if we come here. We can wipe them all out in one fell swoop, which saves us from fighting them continuously province by province." Zhang Xinghan snorted coldly.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, the main divisions gathered in Guisui immediately divided into two groups, heading south to Yike Zhao League, and followed the 212th Division south along the Yellow River.  The two armies, totaling about 100,000 people, came towards Yinchuan in a mighty flanking attack.  Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin concentrated all their forces, including all local militia groups and two main divisions, totaling more than 60,000 people, and deployed them in two directions. One part was deployed along the Yellow River in Yongning, east of Yinchuan, to prevent the Northeast Frontier Defense Force from voluntarily  The Yike Zhao League crossed the Yellow River to the west.  The other unit deployed defenses along the river in the Shizuizi Mountain area northeast of Yinchuan to resist the Northeast Frontier Defense Force heading south from Bayannaoer and Wuhai.  The first to arrive at the front line were the Southern Route Army from the Yike Zhao League, Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan. Their two divisions were the first to arrive at the Yellow River ferry.  And immediately launched a cross-river attack under the cover of the air force. The Ma Jiajun guarding the west bank immediately opened fire to block the attack. The two sides launched an unequal artillery battle across the river.  With the addition of the Northeast Frontier Army Air Force, the artillery positions of the Ma Jiajun were completely destroyed. Taodong Fan and Zhang Tingshu took advantage of the opportunity to cross the river in large numbers, with ships firing and artillery firing.  Relying on our own artillery fire and the cover and suppression of the air force, one regiment of the 213th Division and the 214th Division successfully landed on the west bank.  But they were immediately attacked by a large-scale counterattack by the Ma Jiajun cavalry in regimental and battalion units.  All units of the Northeast Border Guard quickly launched defenses on the spot, setting up machine guns and firing tenaciously at the crater.  The cavalry tactics that Ma Jiajun was proud of were badly beaten in front of the Northeastern border guards, who were well-equipped and powerful in firepower.  The air force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force inflicted a devastating firepower blow on this brave and capable Ma Jiajun cavalry.  This counterattack lasted for less than two hours and ended with the tragic ending of the entire Ma Jiajun cavalry attack.  The shore was littered with the corpses of dead Ma family soldiers and horses, lying on top of each other, with blood flowing into rivers, and the scene was as miserable as Shura purgatory.  After crushing the Ma Jiajun cavalry's countercharge, the Northeastern Border Guards established a foothold on the west bank, and the main forces quickly and smoothly crossed the river.  It’s lateBasically, all the soldiers and horses of the two divisions have crossed the river.  And began to advance toward Yongning County overnight. Yongning was already the last barrier to Yinchuan. As long as this place was broken, it would be equivalent to opening the east gate of Yinchuan, and capturing Yinchuan would be a piece of cake.  News that the Northeastern Border Guards broke through the defense line along the river and the cavalry troops suffered heavy losses quickly spread back to Yinchuan.  (To be continued…

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 376: Completed in One Battle

    "Chairman, Chairman, it's not good." The panicked shouts of the signal soldiers echoed throughout the Ningxia Provincial Chairman's Courtyard.  Ma Hongkui stood up from the conference table and asked: "What's going on? Are you making such a loud noise?" The communications soldier didn't have time to salute, so he said: "Chairman Ma, it's bad, the Ningxian river defense line has been broken through by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  My cavalry brigade was attacked by the enemy's air force during the counterattack and was completely wiped out. Now, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has crossed the river and is advancing towards Ningxian County." "What?" Ma Hongkui was shocked when he heard this and sat down on his chair.  Go up, with a look of horror on his face.  "Strictly order the defenders of Ning County to defend to the end. Reinforcements will arrive soon!" Ma Hongbin on the side said immediately.  After sending away the communication troops, Ma Hongbin said to Ma Hongkui: "Shaoyun, the situation is critical, we have to prepare for the worst." "The worst plan?" Ma Hongkui suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Ma Hongbin  , suddenly shouted: "Send power to Ma Bufang immediately and ask him to send reinforcements quickly, quickly!" Returning to Suicheng, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were discussing the military situation in front of the map, and Guo Zhong walked in at this time  , reported with joy: "Commander, Chief of Staff, there is a call from the front line. Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan led their troops to break through the Ma Jiajun's Yellow River defense line. They are now at the gate of Ning County, and they are expected to arrive at Yinchuan City tomorrow." "Yes.  "When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he looked at Jiang Baili and asked, "Chief of Staff, how long will it take for Ma Bufang's reinforcements to reach Yinchuan at the fastest speed?" "Even if the reinforcements mobilized by Ma Bufang are part of Gansu,  It will take a week at the earliest to get to Yinchuan," Jiang Baili replied.  "One week, isn't our army's advance a bit too fast?" Zhang Xinghan asked thoughtfully.  Jiang Baili nodded and suggested: "Commander, in order to ensure that the main force of the Ma Jiajun can be gathered and annihilated in Yinchuan, and the victory is completed in one battle, I think it is time to order the frontline troops to slow down the attack." "Send power to Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan. Five  The county seat of Ning County is not allowed to be captured within days, otherwise military law will be issued. At the same time, Shen Ke will be ordered to advance to Shizuishanzi in seven days. Military law will deal with it one day early and one day late!  Jiang Baili cupped his hands with a half-smile but said, "The commander is wise, Baili admires him." Guo Zhong looked at the two of them confused, but he still accepted the order and left.  ………………………… Outside Yongning City.  In the joint headquarters of the 213th Division and the 214th Division, Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan were discussing the next attack with great interest.  We are preparing to conquer Yongning in one fell swoop and take the lead in attacking Yinchuan to seize the lead to show our loyalty.  A communications staff officer came in with a telegram in hand and saluted the two of them: "Master. Commander Tao, the chief is calling." Zhang Tingshu reached out and took the telegram. After reading it with Tao Dongfan, he said with a surprised look on his face:  "Brother Tao, what does the Commander-in-Chief mean by this? Yongning County is not allowed to be captured within five days? What kind of military order is this?" Tao Dongfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Since ancient times, he has only heard the commander strictly order his subordinates to attack with all their strength. He has never heard of this  passed such a military order.  Presumably the chief executive must have ordered this.  There must be some arrangement for him.  " "No matter what the arrangements are, for the sake of safety, I think we should call back as soon as possible to confirm. Otherwise, the correspondent sent the wrong message and delayed the fighter plane, which would be bad.  Zhang Tingshu said maturely and cautiously. "Well, I agree. Please call back and ask as soon as possible."  "Taodong Fan nodded in agreement. At that moment, the two of them urgently ordered the communications troops to reply to Zhang Xinghan for inquiries. At the same time, the 212th Division and other units that were advancing towards Wuhai also received Zhang Xinghan's telegram. Shen Ke, commander of the 212th Division, listened to the staff  The personnel's report was also confused, and they said with a puzzled look: "It's strange, could it be that something happened in the rear?  Otherwise, why would the commander-in-chief give us such a military order?  This was obviously intended to slow down our march.  " "Teacher, no matter what, you'd better call back and confirm.  "A staff officer suggested. "Yeah.  I must ask, you should immediately send a message to the Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Staff in my name to ask and confirm this order.  "Shen Ke nodded. Not long after, the staff members came back. Shen Ke asked hurriedly: "How is it?  Did the main office call you back?  "The staff officer nodded and said: "Master, the headquarters ordered us to implement military orders immediately, and those who violate the orders will be severely punished.  "Although Shen Ke hesitated, he quickly said to the staff officer: "Immediately order all regiments to stop advancing immediately.  " "Yes" the staff officer responded and turned.After taking the order and leaving, Shen Ke muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face: That's strange, what on earth does the chief executive want to do?  At the same time, Zhang Tingshu and others received a call back from Zhang Xinghan, and the content of the call back was the same.  Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others did not dare to hesitate any longer. They immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack and stand by in place. At the same time, they sent troops to guard the Yellow River ferry and prepare to receive the follow-up troops to cross the river.  ……………………… Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and we were in Yinchuan City.  "Shaoyun, how is the situation in the direction of Yongning?" Ma Hongbin came to the conference room and asked.  Ma Hongkui said with a confused face: "According to reports from Yongning County, the offensive of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has weakened a lot. They have hardly attacked in the past two days, but have been on standby. It is really confusing!" "Not much attack?"  What's going on? What do they want to do?" Ma Hongbin was confused when he heard this.  Ma Hongkui shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out either. Not only are the enemy's actions in the direction of Yongning County intriguing, but even the Northeastern Border Guards that are moving south have slowed down and are still advancing at a snail's pace north of Wuhai.  "Forget it, no matter what they want to do, this does give us a once-in-a-lifetime precious opportunity to breathe. In five days at most, Ma Bufang's reinforcements will arrive. By then we will be able to fight Zhang Xinghan.  "If they don't attack, we will drive them across the Yellow River," Ma Hongbin said.  Ma Hongkui nodded noncommittally. Although what Ma Hongbin said was true, he always had an unknown premonition in his heart. However, he couldn't figure out where this ominous premonition came from for a while.  The next five days passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, the North Route Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force continued to advance at a crawling speed. They had just captured Wuhai and were advancing towards Shi Sanzuizi.  The main forces of the three divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force on the south road have all crossed the river, but they have adopted a strategy of encircling Yongning County without attacking.  Basically cut off the connection between Yongning County and Yinchuan.  On this day, Ma Bufang's reinforcements finally arrived in Yinchuan.  Ma Bufang knows very well the meaning of death and coldness, so this time not only did all the elite Qingma come, but he also personally led a team to rush to Yinchuan at night to help Yinchuan.  When they heard about Ma Bufang’s arrival, Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin were overjoyed and went out of the city to greet her in person, needless to say, they wanted to greet her.  In Guisui City, the temporary headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, according to the report of our Air Force Reconnaissance and Security Bureau personnel, the Qingma reinforcements arrived in Yinchuan City this morning. We cannot rule out whether they will attack at night to encircle Yongning County." Zhang Xinghan  He smoked a cigarette and looked at the map and said: "Okay, the time is ripe to besiege Yinchuan. Immediately call the frontline divisions to speed up the attack and march. I will surround Yinchuan City within two days!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded happily.  Tao, immediately took the order and left.  In Yongning County, after receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan were overjoyed and said: "Great, I have been going crazy for the past seven days. Give me the order and the whole division will immediately start attacking. Give me a good beating."  These idiots in the city!” The already exhausted Northeastern border guards immediately launched a full-scale attack on Yongning County.  Hundreds of large and small artillery fired at the same time, and the top of Yongning City was filled with flames. Thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers outside the city were shouting and killing, and they launched a tidal wave of attacks on the Ma Jiajun.  The Ma Jiajun defended the city, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.  With the addition of air force fighters from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Ma's army's casualties on the city's head suddenly increased.  As the battle progressed into the evening, three divisions of the northeastern border defense troops attacked the city from four directions and basically annihilated the main force of the Ma Jiajun in the city.  They opened the east gate of Yinchuan in one day.  At the same time, the 212th Division headed by Shen Ke and other troops also quickly advanced to Shizuishan, and with the cooperation of the Air Force, launched a tidal wave of offensive towards the Ma Jiajun position.  In Yinchuan City, two brothers, Ma Hongkui, were giving Ma Bufang and his party a clean break.  Suddenly, a signal soldier rushed in with a panic look and reported to Ma Hongkui: "Chairman, it's bad, Yongning County has been lost." "What? Yongning has been lost? Why didn't you report it earlier?" Ma Hongkui was shocked when he heard this.  “I have just received the news that all the radio stations and telephones in the city were seriously damaged by the air force bombing of the Northeast Frontier Force. This news was reported by the remnant soldiers of our army who escaped from Yongning!” the communications soldier replied with trembling.  "HeDamn it, these cunning Northeastern guys!  "Ma Hongkui was furious. Ma Bufang had not yet fought against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, and his Qingma troops were indeed much more powerful than Ma Hongkui's Ningma Qiang, so he said disapprovingly: "Shaoyun, don't be anxious, now we  The two armies have assembled more than 130,000 troops. With the reinforcements I bring, we will surely be able to recapture Yongning and defeat the Northeastern Army!  " As soon as Ma Bufang finished speaking, another signal soldier ran in with a panicked look, saluted everyone and said: "Chairman, sirs, something serious has happened. The Northeastern Army on the North Road suddenly attacked Shizuizi Mountain in a large scale.  Our army has suffered heavy casualties, the defense line is in danger, and the front line is requesting urgent reinforcements!  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 377: Capture of Yinchuan

    Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this. The Northeastern Border Guards had been silent for a week, and then suddenly changed their normal behavior and launched an attack.  It really surprised them, especially Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin. Now Yongning County has been lost. If Shizuishanzi is lost again, Yinchuan will really be attacked from both sides.  At that moment, Ma Hongkui had no intention of continuing to drink and eat meat. He immediately said to Ma Bufang and Ma Biqing: "Brothers, the situation is urgent. I hope you can put the overall situation first and send reinforcements to Shizuishanzi as soon as possible." "Of course this is natural.  , Please rest assured Shaoyun, as long as I, Ma Bufang, are here, Shizuishanzi will never be lost!" Ma Bufang agreed happily.  At present, the four horses were divided into two groups. One group was commanded by Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who deployed the defense in the east of Yinchuan City and were always ready to counterattack Yongning.  Commanded by Ma Hongbin and Ma Bufang, they rushed to the rescue of Shizuishanzi, which had not yet been lost.  At the same time, on the Shizuishanzi battlefield, various units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army were pouring artillery shells on the Ma Jiajun's position with their directly affiliated tank and artillery regiments.  "Boom, boom, boom" In the violent explosions that shook the earth, Ma Jiajun soldiers were blown to pieces from time to time.  In addition to the artillery bombardment, there were also dozens of Stuka dive bombers and fighter jets from the Northeast Border Guard in the sky, constantly circling back and forth to conduct carpet-like aerial fire strikes on their positions.  After some wild bombing, the Ma Jiajun's defensive position in Shizuishanzi was already in ruins, and all the trenches, fortifications and bunkers were destroyed.  As soon as the artillery fire began to extend, the deafening shouts of killing from the northeastern border guards rang out in front of the position.  Under the setting sun, thousands of soldiers from the Northeast Frontier Army came from all over the mountains and fields and launched a tidal wave of attacks on Ma's house.  The surviving Ma Jiajun resisted desperately. For a while, bullets rained like locusts on the battlefield, swishing back and forth.  When the fierce battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, about 3,000 Ma Jiajun cavalry suddenly rushed out and launched a counterattack against the Northeast Border Guards.  When the tank troops of the Northeast Frontier Guards, which were covering the main infantry attack, saw this, they immediately turned their guns and muzzles.  The cavalry met Ma Jiajun.  Thousands of Ma Jiajun cavalry swarmed in with sabers waving, but they were soon hit head-on by machine gun fire from Northeastern Border Guard tanks.  Countless Ma Jiajun cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground in response, and were trampled to pieces by their companions who followed.  As the firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards in front became more and more fierce, more and more Ma Jiajun cavalry fell down. The cavalry who followed up the charge were hampered and trampled on each other, and the charge was suddenly frustrated.  But their nightmare is far from over.  The tanks of the Northeastern Border Guards, which had been conducting strafing fire, suddenly rumbled towards them.  The vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks and chariots kept firing like fire hedgehogs. Wherever they went, the Ma Jiajun cavalry were shot and fell from their horses.  This was a one-sided massacre. In the face of the powerful protective capabilities and assault firepower of modern tanks and armored forces, the Northwest Iron Cavalry, which used to roam the northwest and even the land of China, no longer has the courage it once did.  became the target of massacre.  More than three thousand cavalry were almost slaughtered in less than two hours. The corpses of some dead horses and Ma Jiajun soldiers were crushed by tanks and armored vehicles into pools of flesh and blood. The scene was tragic, and the disgusting strong smell of blood filled the entire place.  in the air.  "Brothers, charge!" After the tank troops defeated the counter-assault of the Ma Jiajun cavalry, the infantry officers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army raised their arms and shouted in encouragement, leading their subordinates to strengthen their offensive.  Ma Jiajun suffered a one-sided massacre because of the cavalry.  They were already frightened out of their wits and had no fighting spirit. Under the fierce attack of the northeastern border guards, they soon couldn't hold on and the whole line was shaken.  Almost as soon as the reinforcements led by Ma Bufang and Ma Hongbin arrived, Shizuishan was captured by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Ma Bufang immediately commanded the infantry and cavalry of the post to launch an attack on the Northeastern Border Guards, in an attempt to retake Shizuishan while their foothold was not stable.  Unexpectedly, they were attacked by superior firepower from the Northeastern Border Guards.  The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties and were defeated and retreated.  Ma Bufang could hardly believe what he saw in front of him. The elite infantry and cavalry he relied on to start his career were defeated by the superior firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards who had just experienced a bloody battle. They were defeated miserably and completely defeated.  Defeated.  What was even more shocking was the coordination of infantry and tanks of the Northeast Border Guard that he saw, even though he had long heard that the tanks and armored units of the Northeast Border Guard were extremely powerful.  But I have never been able to see it with my own eyes, so the magnificent scene of hundreds of vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns firing a salvo still caused a strong psychological shock to Ma Bufang and others.     besides.  The firepower of ordinary infantrymen of the Northeast Border Guard?Stronger than they can bear.  Almost everyone has a submachine gun, and the bullets fired out almost form a substantial barrage. Any troops who dare to charge fall forward one after another in front of this barrage. In fact, it is a salvo of Garand semi-automatic rifles.  After the counterattack failed.  Regardless of Ma Hongbin's obstruction, Ma Bufang led his troops to retreat toward Yinchuan in panic. Ma Hongbin had no choice but to gather his troops and retreat.  Shen Ke and others immediately commanded the troops to pursue and pursue them all the way.  At the same time, Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and others also commanded the troops to advance from Yongning County to Yinchuan. The two sides started a fierce battle in the Wangxing Town area east of Yinchuan. As the fierce battle progressed, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides became more and more obvious.  stand up.  Although the blocking troops of Ma Buqing and Ma Hongkui fought desperately, they suffered extremely heavy casualties under the fierce attack by the combined ground and air firepower of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The two sides fought fiercely for a day and night, and news came that Ma Bufang and Ma Hongbin had been defeated from Shizuishanzi.  The troops of Ma Buqing and Ma Hongkui, who suffered heavy losses and were demoralized, were finally defeated by the Northeastern Border Guards.  The whole army retreated towards Yinchuan City.  Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and others immediately commanded the troops to follow and pursue him, inflicting heavy casualties on him along the way. Finally, they joined forces with the North Route Army in Yinchuan and surrounded him in Yinchuan City.  In Guisui City, inside the temporary headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, although it has fallen into the night, the headquarters is still brightly lit.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting in front of the map and smoking, obviously waiting for news from the front line.  Suddenly, Jiang Baili walked in in a hurry and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, news came from the front line. Our army successfully defeated Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing's reinforcements and surrounded Yinchuan City!" "Great." Zhang Xinghan was happy when he heard this.  He stood up immediately, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said: "Immediately send electricity to all the divisions on the front line, and strictly order them to defend at all costs. They must not let the enemy break out, and strive to encircle and annihilate them in Yinchuan City. As long as the four main forces are eliminated,  , This Western Expedition is considered a victory. " "Yes!" Jiang Baili accepted the order happily.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, Taodongfan and other division commanders immediately held an emergency military meeting and mobilized troops to surround Yinchuan City on all sides.  At the same time, they launched an attack overnight, not giving Ma Jiajun any chance to breathe.  For a time, there were loud gunshots from all directions at the four gates of the city defense, the roar of cannons, and the shouts of killing.  In the city, the four brothers Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing have become ants on a hot pot.  They never expected that the war situation would develop into what it is now, and the most frustrated among them was Ma Bufang.  At this time, he had long lost the confidence and arrogance he had when he first arrived, and was completely beaten by the Northeast Border Guards.  Listening to the increasingly fierce gunfire and shouts of death outside, Ma Buqing couldn't sit still, stood up, and shouted to everyone: "You guys should make up your mind. Now the Northeast Border Guards have surrounded them."  , If we continue like this, we will all be doomed." Ma Hongkui looked at Ma Buqing with a pale face and said, "What can you do? There are a hundred thousand troops in the Northeast Army outside the city. We can't break out like this.  !" Ma Buqing said.  "Breakout?" Ma Hongbin looked at him with an idiotic look and said, "The tanks and armored troops of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force are waiting for us to leave the city to intercept and kill us. If we leave the city now, wouldn't we fall into a trap?" "Then we  What should we do? Are we just waiting to die here?" Ma Buqing was going crazy and roared at the top of his lungs.  "Shut up, me." Ma Bufang shouted loudly upon seeing this.  "Brother, what do you think we should do?" Ma Buqing's eldest brother, Ma Bufang, was still a little scared and asked timidly.  Ma Bufang raised his head and looked at Ma Hongkui and Ma Hongbin, and said: "You two, the situation is critical right now, but we must not sit back and wait for death. As long as we leave Yinchuan, we can go to Gansu Qinghai to reorganize our troops and deal with the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. You  Don't give up just yet! " "Ma Bufang, if you have any idea, just tell me quickly." Ma Hongkui was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Bufang's previous performance in the battle, and he was very annoyed with him when he first came here.  To the extreme, he said angrily by calling him by his name.  "I have a way. Although the tanks of the Northeast Border Guard are powerful, their power will be greatly reduced once they enter the city. In addition, their air force cannot take off at night, so tonight is our only chance. If we miss it, we will never have it again.  We had an opportunity to break through and launched several fierce counterattacks against them., attract their tank troops into the city for reinforcements, and then break out from the west and south of the city at night, so they will definitely be able to break out!  " Ma Bufang said. Ma Hongbin and Ma Hongkui looked at each other. At this moment, they had no choice but to nod in agreement with the mentality of giving it a try. Immediately, the four of them split up and the troops in the command post began to prepare for a breakout and counterattack! ps:  I couldn’t update because of something yesterday.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 378: Pacifying the Northwest

    "Boomdahdah" Under the dark night sky, gunshots and explosions sounded intertwined in Yinchuan City. From time to time, fires caused by explosions rose into the sky, dazzling in the dark night.  A group of Northeastern border officers and soldiers were rapidly advancing along a not-so-wide street. From time to time, Ma Jiajun, with varying numbers of people, would fire and sneak attacks in the buildings on both sides of the street.  However, it will soon be attacked by the powerful firepower of the Northeastern border guards. The bazooka rocket launcher and mg42 general machine gun cooperate very well.  There are only a few Ma Jiajun who dare to turn around and resist. Many people are fleeing towards the rear, although they know that there will be no way to escape in the end.  But having been frightened out of their wits by the Northeastern Border Guards, they were willing to flee temporarily to avoid the desperate tanks and dense rain of machine gun bullets.  "Kill!" When the battle line was pushed to the center of the city, Ma Hongkui, Ma Hongbin, Ma Bufang, and Ma Buqing each gathered a group of their last elite men and began to organize a breakout.  Along the way, the retreating Ma Jiajun saw Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang, and they all turned around and killed them.  The two sides collided fiercely like two torrents in the city.  Fierce gunshots, curses and shouts of killing were heard endlessly, and the dense rain of bullets in the dark night kept flying back and forth like meteors.  Ma Jiajun’s breakout troops formed a dense formation on the street, using machine guns and some submachine guns to clear the way.  Gunshots rang out, and people on both sides were constantly shot and fell.  However, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Guards quickly realized the Ma Jiajun's intention to break out. The officers and soldiers of each army relied on some buildings on both sides of the street and the barricades they had just captured to block the Ma Jiajun's breakout troops.  As a result, the offensive and defensive posture of the Ma Jiajun and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force changed.  The Ma Jiajun who broke out in a dense formation were quickly hit by a dense network of firepower intertwined with rocket launchers, general-purpose machine guns and submachine guns from the Northeastern Border Guards.  The charging Ma Jiajun suddenly fell down in pieces, screaming and screaming like wheat.  Smoking grenades flew back and forth from time to time, the explosions were deafening, and gravel and wood chips were flying everywhere in the fire. Although they paid a heavy price in casualties, the Ma Jiajun's breakout progress was still very fast.  Although they reacted quickly enough, they still could not directly withstand Ma Jiajun's sudden all-out counterattack, and the defense line was continuously broken through.  The situation is very critical.  Outside the city, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and others had already met and were discussing the military situation at the first temporary joint headquarters.  Suddenly, the phone in the headquarters rang rapidly. One of Shen Ke's staff officers walked over and picked up the phone. After listening to a few words, his face changed drastically. He turned to Shen Ke and said, "Master, it's not good. The people in the city are here."  The Ma Jiajun suddenly launched a counterattack, and our attacking troops were caught off guard and broke through several lines of defense. The situation is very critical now, and it is very likely that they will break out of the city. " "What?" Shen Ke changed his face when he heard this, and immediately walked over and took the phone in his hand.  .  "Hey, I'm Shen Ke. How is the situation now? Where has the enemy broken through? What? First regiment commander, I tell you, organize troops for me immediately and block them. Don't let any of them escape." Shen Ke just died.  Telephone.  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan surrounded them: "Old Shen, how is the situation?" Shen Ke frowned and said: "Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui couldn't sit still and wanted to escape. The counterattack was very fierce. One of my  The regiment was almost driven out by them." "Then we must quickly organize troops to stop them," Zhang Tingshu said hurriedly.  "I will mobilize the Third Regiment and the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters to prepare to block the city gate, just in case. You two should go back as soon as possible. I estimate that the west gate and the south gate will be the focus of their breakout. We cannot be careless.  "Shen Ke said.  Zhang Tingshu and Taodong Fan nodded and left with their adjutants, and Shen Ke quickly conveyed the order.  At the same time, the commanders of several other divisions also got the news and mobilized their troops to block the attack.  Although the Ma Jiajun counterattack was very strong in the initial stage of the city, it was ultimately blocked by the firepower of tanks and armored vehicles of the Northeast Border Guard because of its small number of troops and its inability to rush out of the city.  The final breakout failed.  Ma Buqing and Ma Hongbin died under random gunfire, and Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang were forced back into the city.  After the breakout failed, the Ma Jiajun in the city was severely weakened and was no longer able to organize troops to break out.  They had no choice but to retreat continuously towards the center of the city.  ??The various units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army immediately turned from defense to offense and intensified their attack intensity. By dawn, the main force of the Ma Jiajun in the city had basically been eliminated.  There are less than 3,000 people left relying on Ma Hongkui andThe Provincial Chairman's Compound where Bufang was hiding resisted.  In Guisui City, the temporary headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The sky was getting brighter, and Zhang Xinghan had been sleeping on the conference table for about two hours. He was too sleepy last night. When he learned that the Ma Jiajun's breakout operation had been foiled from the front, Zhang Xinghan lay on the table and slept for a while.  Jiang Baili, who had been on duty all night, came over with a smile and pushed him gently: "Main seat, main seat." Zhang Xinghan woke up, looked up at Jiang Baili, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Chief of Staff, what's wrong?  ?” “A call came from the Yinchuan front line. Our army has basically eliminated the main force of the Ma Jiajun in the city. Now there is only a small area near the provincial chairman’s compound where the Ma Jiajun is still resisting. It is expected to be the last hiding place of Ma Hongkui and others. The frontline troops.  After a day and night of fierce attack, the troops are very tired now, so they adopted the method of siege but not attack. Shen Ke and others plan to surrender the remaining troops of the Ma Jiajun who were besieged. Commander, do you think it is feasible?" Jiang Baili said with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan had already occupied it, walked out of the headquarters, looked up at the sky, took two deep breaths of fresh air, turned around and said: "The elite of the Ma Jiajun no longer exist after this battle. It depends on whether Gansu and Qinghai can send a message, leaving Ma Hongkui and two others.  It's still of some use. Tell Shen Ke to surrender and give them a promise that as long as they are willing to surrender, I promise not to kill them. " "Well, the Ma Jiajun is deeply rooted in the three northwest provinces. It is much more useful to capture them alive than to kill them."  A nod full of approval.  "In addition, tell Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and others that once Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang surrender, the 120,000-strong army will immediately divide into three groups and quickly take over and occupy all the territory in Ningma and Qingma." Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and ordered.  "Okay, I'll do it right away." Jiang Baili nodded happily and immediately took the order and left.  ????………………In Yinchuan City, the Provincial Chairman’s Courtyard.  The large-scale shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire outside have stopped, but occasionally some individual gunshots are heard, which is when the two sides are fighting each other.  In the conference room, Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui sat on the chairs with ashen faces, silent.  "Zixiang, tell me what should we do?" Ma Hongkui broke the silence and asked Ma Bufang.  Ma Bufang raised his head and glanced at him, and said angrily: "How do I know that in order to reinforce you, I fell into trouble this time and lost all my belongings? Bu Qing also died. The troops who surrendered surrendered, and those who died in battle  Die in battle." Ma Hongkui was also furious. He immediately slammed the table and said angrily: "Ma Bufang, stop talking such nonsense. This time, my loss is not smaller than yours. My elder brother's life and death are unknown." Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel.  When they got up, an adjutant with a gray face hurriedly ran in and said anxiously to the two of them: "Chairman, Chief Ma, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has sent someone to shout." "Huh? What did you say?" Ma Hongkui  asked.  "They, they said they want us to surrender. As long as you, Chairman, are willing to surrender to him, they promise not to kill anyone immediately!" the adjutant said cautiously.  "Surrender?" Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufanglian's expressions changed at the same time, and they were no longer in the mood to argue.  Seeing Ma Hongkui's silence, the adjutant lost his composure and said anxiously: "Chairman, you'd better come up with an idea quickly. They said they only give us three hours to think about it. If we don't get a response after three hours,  They will continue to attack and annihilate them all. "How many more people do we have?" Ma Hongkui looked up and asked the adjutant.  The adjutant said with a sad face: "Less than two thousand." "That's it. The army of one hundred thousand will be wiped out in a few days. There is no need to lose the lives of the remaining two thousand brothers." Ma Hongkui looked regretful and suddenly asked Ma Bufang: "Zixiang, surrender.  "If Zhang Xinghan wants to take over the northwest, he has to use us, he won't kill us." Ma Bufang lowered his head and said nothing, and finally nodded helplessly.  Soon, the remaining two thousand Ma Jiajun, led by Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui, walked out of the fortifications with white flags and surrendered to the Northeastern Border Guards who were waiting for them.  Shen Ke and others quickly commanded the troops to capture the Provincial Chairman's Courtyard and formally occupied Yinchuan City. After the troops took a short rest, each division followed Zhang Xinghan's order and entered Gansu and Qinghai in batches.  ……………………… Three days later, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived in Yinchuan City and met Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui who were imprisoned in Yinchuan.  It was also the first time for the two of them to meet Zhang Xinghan face-to-face, and they were curious and a little timid.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two of them: "You two, Xinghan led his army to march westward under the Central Military Order.If you have offended someone, please don't hold grudges.  "Zhang Xinghan irresponsibly threw the shit basin at Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. The two horses looked at each other in surprise, shook hands with him doubtfully, and even said they didn't dare. At the same time, they were also puzzled. Could it be that  Is it really the fault of Bald Jiang in Nanjing? At the same time, Chairman Chiang in Nanjing couldn’t help but sneeze several times. Mrs. Jiang on the side came forward with a concerned coat and said: "Darling, the weather is bad."  It's not warm yet, so you should pay more attention and be careful not to catch a cold.  " Chairman Jiang put on his coat and waved his hand: "Madam, I'm worried about you. I'm fine.  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 379: Suiyuan Conflict

    He had some casual talks with Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang, and told them clearly that he would not kill them, but hoped that they would cooperate with the Northeast Border Guard to take over the northwest, and if they behaved well, they would be arranged to retire in some suitable location in the Northeast.  . The two horses were already meat on the chopping board, so how could they dare to say no? After they nodded in agreement, Zhang Xinghan took Jiang Baili and left.  Arriving at Ma Hongkui’s provincial chairman’s compound and looking around, Zhang Xinghan couldn’t help but sigh: “A barren provincial chairman’s compound in Ningxia is not much worse than the official residence of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing. The Ma family army rules the northwest. I don’t know.  How much blood and sweat have been squeezed out of the people in the northwest? "Yes, the people in the northwest suffered a lot during the rule of the Ma Jiajun. If we want to win the hearts of the people, we should appropriately lighten their burdens," Jiang Baili said.  It makes sense. Zhang Xinghan nodded and pondered for a while, then said: "In this case, Chief of Staff, you will immediately announce in the name of you and me that in the area controlled by our Northeast Frontier Defense Force, all people in the northwest will be exempted from all taxes.  They will be required to serve for three years, and they will not receive a grain of grain or a single coin within three years, so that the people can resume production and return to normal life as soon as possible. In addition, when the troops are completely stable and stationed, we will also select suitable political officials from various places.  With the cooperation of the Secrecy Bureau, we will supervise the implementation of our tax exemption policy in various places, crack down on corrupt officials and bully landlords, and ensure the stable development of the northwest. Of course, these will need to be implemented slowly in the future, and we will leave it to Minister Zang." "Commander.  Yingming, this move will definitely win the hearts and minds of the people in the northwest. In less than three years, the northwest will be connected with the northeast and become a solid base for our northeastern border defense forces. "Jiang Baili said with a happy smile, "Our relationship with the people is like a ship and water.  "Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it. There have been so many precedents for this principle for thousands of years. We must learn from the bloody lessons!" Zhang Xinghan said.  While the two were talking, Guo Zhong suddenly walked over anxiously and said before saluting: "Commander, Chief of Staff, Liu Guodong called, the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army suddenly launched an attack on the Ping-Sui Line where our army is stationed. At the same time, Song Zheyuan  The 29th Army also invaded Chahar again. In addition, according to the intelligence just obtained by our Security Bureau and the latest situation detected by the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, it can be concluded that the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has left Yanmen Pass in the west and may have gathered in Datong.  " Zhang Xinghan was surprised at first when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "It seems that Chief Yan really can't bear the loneliness. It's okay. Let's give him a good beating this time. The Jinsui Army has indeed developed too fast in the past few years. It's too fast."  "It's stable." "Our army has defeated the Ma Jiajun. How dare the Jinsui Army start a war with us at this time?" Jiang Baili was a little surprised.  "The Battle of Yinchuan has just ended. Commander Yan's intelligence may be wrong. He may also think that the main force of our army is on the west bank of the Yellow River. We may want to take the opportunity to recapture Suiyuan and Chahar." Zhang Xinghan said: "No matter what  In this way, since they took the initiative to provoke the war, they must give the Jinsui Army a severe blow, otherwise it will not be conducive to stabilizing the situation in the northwest. "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "In this case, what should we do next?  Don't you order Shen Ke and others to postpone their westward advance, cross the Yellow River eastward, and cooperate with Liu Guodong to attack the Shanxi-Sui Army?" Zhang Xinghan smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's totally unnecessary. We still have one division in Rehe and 130,000 troops in Pingjin.  There are so many people, so many troops are just sitting here, how can they be just spectators? " Fifty-five kilometers southwest of Zhangjiakou, Huai'an County borders Suiyuan's Tianzhen County and is the gateway to the southern end of Zhangjiakou.  .  After the Northeastern Border Guards marched westward, Liu Guodong sent Wu Chengfeng to lead an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion to guard against the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army as the frontline support for Zhangjiakou's defense.  Eight hours ago, the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army suddenly arrived in Huai'an County from the Lego and Tianzhen areas and launched an attack on the defenders of Huai'an County.  Wu Chengfeng commanded the troops to resolutely fight back. With the assistance of artillery and air force, they have successively defeated several attacks by the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army coalition.  There were corpses everywhere in Huai'an County and rivers of blood.  On top of the city, Wu Chengfeng led a few guards to patrol in person without fear of danger, which greatly boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers guarding the city.  Suddenly, a communications soldier rushed to the top of the city, caught up with Wu Chengfeng and reported: "Deputy Commander, it's bad, we just got the latest information provided by our army's reconnaissance plane. Wan Fulin of the former Northeast Army in the direction of Yuxian and Guangling  The remnants of the troops also suddenly moved northward, and are now less than thirty kilometers away from Huai'an County." "I know, send a message to the division and ask where the reinforcements are," Wu Chengfeng said with a flash of worry in his eyes, pretending not to care.  "Yes." The communications soldier was pleasedHe stood up and responded, then turned around and took the order.  "Deputy Commander, the enemy has begun to attack again." A major officer guarding behind the wall suddenly shouted loudly.  Hearing this, Wu Chengfeng turned around and looked outside the city, only to see countless Jinsui Army and 29th Army coalition forces rushing towards this side in a dark and heavy manner on the field a thousand meters away.  Wu Chengfeng immediately pulled out his gun and ordered loudly and solemnly: "Everyone is ready to fight." After squatting down, Wu Chengfeng turned to a guard and said: "Go, notify the artillery battalion immediately and give him a hard blow.  Raised!" "Yes." The guard nodded sharply and quickly rushed down to the city to take the order.  At this time, the enemy has not yet entered the effective range. Although the machine gun can shoot, at such a long distance, the bullets will float and the damage will be limited. It is really a waste.  So the entire battlefield was still quite quiet. Wu Chengfeng squatted on the top of the city and could vaguely hear the breathing of his subordinates and the sporadic collisions of grenades, bayonets, rifles and machine guns.  About ten minutes had passed and the enemy had entered within a range of 500 meters. At this moment, the artillery battalion deployed hidden in the city suddenly opened fire.  The deafening sound of shelling suddenly sounded from behind Wu Chengfeng and the officers and soldiers.  Looking back, I saw dozens of artillery shells whizzing past with long dazzling scarlet tail flames, and then crashed hard outside the city five hundred meters away.  "Boom, boom, boom" A violent explosion followed. In the raging fire and airflow, countless soldiers of the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army were blown into the sky.  There was a bloody storm, severed limbs and arms were flying everywhere, and miserable screams were faintly drowned out by the earth-shattering explosions.  The artillery battalion's bombardment was just right, but after being hit by this sudden firepower and suffering a heavy loss, the offensive troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army advanced instead of retreating.  Led by several middle-level and junior officers, Huan accelerated in vain and formed a line of skirmishers to quickly approach the city wall. Many of them were carrying simple wooden ladders.  "Charge! Kill!" Listening to the deafening shouts of kill coming from the city, Wu Chengfeng put his pistol on the wall, took the machine gun from a machine gunner, aimed forward, held his breath, and then suddenly  He roared sternly: "Brothers, hit me!" Before he finished speaking, the machine gun in his hand suddenly roared, and a hot and dazzling tongue of flame spurted out from the muzzle.  The hot bullets flew towards the city. The two Jinsui soldiers holding Hanyang-made weapons were unable to dodge and were shot continuously and fell down.  As soon as he opened fire, hundreds of Northeastern Border Guard officers and soldiers on the top of the city also pulled the triggers. Garand semi-automatic rifles, MP38 submachine guns, mg42 general-purpose machine guns and some bazooka rocket launchers roared.  For a time, bullets rained down from the top of the city. The Jinsui Army and the 29th Army officers and soldiers who were attacking and charging below the city screamed in agony. Some people were shot and fell to the ground.  While they charged, they also raised their guns to fight back from time to time. However, there was a huge gap in performance between the two sides in terms of rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns.  Although the Jinsui Army has a large number of people, the sustained and intensive firepower is simply not on the same level as the Northeastern Border Defense Force defenders.  As the distance approached, a group of bombardiers from the Northeastern Border Guards on the top of the city suddenly fired grenades, and then threw them down with all their strength.  From a high position, the grenade flew far away and landed in the crowd of Jinsui Army dozens of meters away.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of explosions sounded almost at the same time. Several Jinsui soldiers carrying a ladder were blown away, screaming and falling to the ground. The ladder was also blown to pieces in the fire.  Wu Chengfeng’s machine gun fired wildly, the bullet chain was shortening rapidly, and bullet casings quickly piled up into a hill at his feet.  A rocket soldier carried the bazooka to a shooting crenel, aimed at a crowded place under the city and fired a shot.  "Qiu" A high-explosive bomb flew towards the city in a straight line with a harsh whistling sound.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a red light suddenly appeared. The four Jinsui troops were unable to avoid it and were blown into bloody corpses.  But the rocket soldier was obviously unlucky. Before he could move his position, a stray bullet flew from the city and hit him in the forehead.  The bullet almost penetrated his brain, and the red and white mixture flowed out from the wound on his forehead. The bazooka rocket launcher in his hand fell to the ground quietly, and the rocket soldier fell to the side with eyes wide open and a face filled with resignation.  When the fierce battle was in full swing, the guard who had been ordered to leave rushed over despite the rain of bullets, came to Wu Chengfeng's side, and shouted to Wu Chengfeng at the top of his voice: "Assistant Master, the Master has called back!" Wu Chengfeng  The machine gun in his hand did not stop roaring, and he did not hear it clearly.He asked loudly: "What did you say?" The guard could only say with all his strength: "The division commander called back. He has sent reinforcements from a tank battalion and two infantry battalions. They will arrive soon. Let us  "Hold on a little longer!" Wu Chengfeng nodded, and his men did not stop shooting: "I understand, I have a regiment of troops, it will not be a problem until tomorrow, but the remnants of Wan Fulin in Yuxian and Guangling cannot be allowed to join.  If we come in, we might attack Zhangjiakou in a detour and threaten our retreat. You should immediately call back to the division in my name and ask the reinforcements to bypass Huai'an County directly to meet the remnants of Wan Fulin. After defeating them, they will then detour back to the Shanxi-Sui Army.  From the rear, we should cooperate internally and externally to defeat them in one fell swoop!” (To be continued.

    "Yes!" The guard nodded quickly, turned around and took the order to leave.   "Whoosh, bang bang!" A hail of bullets roared towards us. The guard was still alert and quickly lowered his head. More than a dozen bullets hit the inner wall, and dirt and bricks fell.  .  Wu Chengfeng looked back and saw that the guard had escaped by chance. He felt relieved and turned around to continue shooting with his machine gun.  After just a few shots, Wu Chengfeng suddenly discovered an anomaly. The barrel of the gun had become hot and red due to his continuous shooting.  "Someone, come and change the barrel of the gun for me, quickly!" Wu Chengfeng turned around and shouted.  A deputy machine gunner came with his head lowered and took out a barrel from the wooden box to help Wu Chengfeng replace it.  However, at this moment, two stray bullets roared towards him, and the deputy shooter fell down, with blood flowing rapidly from his head.  Wu Chengfeng stared with splitting eyes and cursed angrily: "I'll fuck your grandma." He grabbed the barrel of the gun and replaced it by himself. He stood up again holding the machine gun and started shooting violently below.  The two Jinsui troops who were squatting and shooting under the city had just cocked their guns. Before they could continue shooting, they were enveloped in a hail of retaliatory bullets from Wu Chengfeng and fell down.  ………………… A fierce battle was going on between the offensive and defensive sides in Huai’an County. On the official road more than 20 kilometers south of Huai’an County, about 10,000 troops wearing gray military uniforms were marching from south to north.  They are the remnants of Wan Fulin's 53rd Army of the Northeast Army who fled from Miyun and Huairou areas years ago. After fleeing to Yu County and Guangling half a year ago, Wan Fulin's remnant army has expanded to 12,000 after half a year of development.  There are many people, organized into two divisions, six regiments and a number of directly affiliated units.  This started when the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army jointly attacked Suiyuan and Chahar while the main force of the Northeast Frontier Army was marching westward. Wan Fulin could not bear the loneliness. After receiving the support of Yan Xishan's grain, weapons and ammunition, he led his troops to participate.  Come in.  While the troops were marching, suddenly a harsh engine roar came from the distant sky.  Wan Fulin, who was riding on the war horse, changed his color when he heard the sound. He looked forward with the telescope hanging around his neck. After taking a look, his expression suddenly changed.  He hurriedly said: "No, it's a plane from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Hurry, everyone hides and prepares for air defense. Hurry!" The speed of the plane was extremely fast. It arrived in a blink of an eye. Before Wan Fulin's order could be conveyed, more than a dozen of them  The Stuka bombers of the Northeast Border Guard emerged from the clouds and swooped towards them with a sharp and ear-piercing roar.  As soon as they reached low altitude, the aircraft's machine gun roared.  Several dazzling tongues of fire spit out, and a dense rain of bullets poured down. The soldiers of the 53rd Army who could not hide were shot and fell to the ground.  Suddenly hit by an air attack, the 53rd Army, which was on the march, was suddenly in chaos, with men and horses neighing and scrambling to escape.  "俅俅俅俅" Amidst a series of whistling sounds, aerial bombs fell vertically from the belly of the Stuka aircraft.  Immediately afterwards, there was a violent explosion that shook the earth. Balls of fire rose from the ground with billowing smoke, and slowly rose into the sky, reaching tens of meters.  The 53rd Army, which could not escape, suffered heavy casualties and screams.  Wan Fulin was shocked and fell off his horse. The guards on the left and right hurriedly rescued him, and the group quickly ran towards the ditch beside the road.  A dozen Stukas swooped back and forth, strafed, and dropped bombs from time to time. More than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 53rd Army suffered heavy casualties and were in chaos.  Wan Fulin was pinned down in the ditch by the guards. It wasn't until the plane flew away that he stood up in shock.  Looking up, I saw thick smoke and fire everywhere, and the screams and painful groans of my men could be heard endlessly.  Wan Fulin looked at the Northeast Frontier Force Air Force fighter planes that had gradually disappeared into the blue sky with hatred, and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, that's too much!" A division commander looked panicked and ran over with a disgraced face.  , shouting from a distance: "Military seat, military seat!" Wan Fulin turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Yang Zhizheng, the commander and deputy commander of the 112th Division, running towards this side quickly.  "Lao Yang, how are the conditions of each regiment?" Wan Fulin stepped forward and asked eagerly.  Yang Zhizhi breathed rapidly and shook his head in shock: "The specific casualties are not yet clear, but the nose of the Northeastern Border Guards is too sharp. Our whereabouts have been exposed. Military seat, we may not be able to go to Huai'an County."  "Why can't we go? The Jin Sui Army and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army have been attacking for more than ten hours," Wan Fulin said in confusion.  Yang Zhengyi said: "Military seat, think about it, the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army have been attacking together for nearly a day, but they still failed to break through Huai'an County. This shows that the Northeast Frontier Defense ArmyHow tenacious the army is.  “After such a long time, maybe the reinforcements from the Northeast Border Guard have arrived. If we go there at this time, wouldn’t we be hitting the muzzle of the gun ourselves?  " "Then what do you think we should do now?  You can't just go back like this, right?  "Wan Fulin looked at the wounded soldiers and the corpses of his own soldiers all around him, and felt unwilling to do so. Moreover, if he went back at this juncture, Yan Xishan, who had just funded him, would definitely not let him go. "As he spoke,  Yang Zhizhi had already ordered someone to open the march map. Wan Fulin and him squatted around the map. Yang Zhengzhi stared at the map and pondered for a while. He raised his head and said to Wan Fulin: "Military seat, we have it. Let's not go to Huai'an."  Now, advance eastward immediately, here.  " Wan Fulin looked at the map and said in surprise: "Zhuolu County?  " Yang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Yes, it's Zhuolu. Now the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army are attacking the Ping-Sui Line and Chahar. If we advance from here, we may get unexpected gains and avoid fighting.  The main force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force fought against each other.  " Wan Fulin thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Well, just do what you said, Lao Yang, organize the troops quickly, leave the dead ones behind, and all the others move eastward, fast to avoid enemy planes from bombing again.  " Yang Zhengyi nodded happily. He stood up and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, warning gunshots from the security forces suddenly came from the front. When they heard the gunfire, both Yang Zhengyi and Wan Fulin's expressions changed drastically. "Old man  Yang, what's going on?  Wan Fulin was surprised and had already raised his telescope and looked forward nervously. Yang Zhizhi was also confused, so he raised the telescope and what they saw stunned them both. For a moment, they were stunned.  Wan Fulin was stunned. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he gasped and trembled: "Tank, tank, it's a tank from the Northeast Border Guard!  " After saying these words, Wan Fulin's first thought was to escape. He immediately turned around and shouted to the guards: "Ma, where is my horse?  " The guards quickly brought over the war horse they had just retrieved. After Wan Fulin's fat body climbed onto the war horse, he turned the horse's head, pulled the reins and said to Yang Zhengyi and others: "It's a tank from the Northeast Border Guard. Order the troops immediately.  Evacuate, quickly!  " After saying that, he drove his war horse and galloped towards the road, and the guards hurriedly ran to keep up. Only then did Yang Zhizhi realize that he and his adjutants and guards also started to flee in a panic. "Just kidding, now the troops have just been attacked.  The air strikes have left the regiments in chaos and their morale is weak. Under such circumstances, trying to block the tanks of the Northeast Border Guard is tantamount to wishful thinking. The only option now is to escape as soon as possible. The faster the better, the slower.  They might turn into mud under the tracks of their tanks. A tank battalion and more than twenty No. 4 tanks appeared one after another in the sight of the 53rd officers and soldiers. The Northeast troops were still in chaos.  The military commanders were unable to react at all. It was not until the heavily armed infantrymen appeared behind the more than twenty tanks that they came to their senses and turned around in panic. "  Run, it's a tank!  " "You fool, run quickly. The teacher has already damn well run away. If you don't run away, you will die."  "The old members of the Northeast Army were horrified and scrambled to turn around and flee. "Boom, boom, boom bang, bang, bang" The No. 4 tank group fired and fired one after another, and dense bullets and shells roared in. Those who could not escape could not escape.  The former commander and deputy commander of the Northeast Army fell into a pool of blood. The 53rd Army had just suffered an air attack. The morale of the army had plummeted, and they were extremely confused and leaderless. Under the surprise attack of the Northeast Frontier Army, they were soon in trouble.  They were about to collapse. Each regiment scrambled to turn around and run away. This encounter quickly turned into a massacre-style pursuit. Of course, the Northeast Frontier Army infantry's shouting to surrender their guns and not kill them still played a big role.  The Northeast officers and soldiers who were overtaken by the tank troops and were unable to escape threw away their guns and knelt down and raised their hands to surrender. The recruits recruited in Yuxian and Guangling areas were the fastest to escape and the fastest to surrender. Everything happened in a state of defeat.  It will cause a chain reaction. If one person surrenders, it will soon spread to ten people, hundreds, or even thousands of people. So when the pursuit ended, the two infantry battalions were restrained by a large number of prisoners and could not continue the pursuit.  The final pursuit was all carried out by tank battalions. According to post-war statistics, more than 7,000 people from Wan Fulin's 53rd Army surrendered and were taken prisoner in this battle.A total of about 2,000 people were killed while escaping and died in the bombing, and less than 3,000 people managed to escape.  Wan Fulin and Yang Zhengyi almost fled alone. When they fled to Yu County, there were less than 300 remaining soldiers of the 12,000-man army when they set out, and most of the others fled and became deserters.     Of course, this is something.  Two infantry battalions were left behind to escort the prisoners back, and the tank battalion immediately advanced towards Huai'an County to assist Wu Chengfeng's troops.  In the direction of Huai'an County, Wu Chengfeng fired a long burst and finally knocked down two enemy soldiers who could not escape. At this time, the city was already littered with corpses and rivers of blood.  Seeing that the enemy troops were repelled again, Wu Chengfeng suddenly sat on the ground like a deflated ball.  "Assistant Master, Assistant Master! The Master is calling!" (To be continued.

    Wu Chengfeng turned his head with difficulty when he heard the sound, only to see a communications soldier running up happily.  "What's going on?" Wu Chengfeng put his hands on the ground and turned around to ask.  "We received a call from the division. The reinforcements defeated Wan Fulin's troops 25 kilometers away and captured a lot of money. Now the tank battalion is rushing towards Huai'an County to cooperate with us to defend Huai'an." The communications soldier said.  "Understood, directly send electricity to the tank battalion, and ask them to inform them of their current location and the specific time of arrival in Huai'an County. We will coordinate the time, cooperate internally and externally, and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop the next time they attack." Wu Chengfeng said.  "Yes." The communication soldier lowered his head and responded, then turned around and ran down the city.  ……………… Outside the city, the joint headquarters of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the 29th Army.  The person responsible for commanding this attack on Huai'an County was Liu Ruming, commander of the 120th Division.  Within the joint command headquarters, the atmosphere was quite heavy as the attack failed again.  A commander of the Jinsui Army was the first to break the silence and said: "Commander Liu, the Huai'an defenders are too powerful. We have been attacking for more than ten hours in a row, but we can't even take down their city defenses. This battle is hopeless."  Fight." Several officers present bowed their heads silently upon hearing this. Indeed, the difficulty of this battle exceeded their expectations.  Not to mention the difference in light weapons between the two sides, the artillery in Huai'an County alone posed a great threat to their attack.  What’s more, from time to time there are air force fighter planes from the Northeast Border Guard arriving in the sky to help.  The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, although the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army coalition have an absolute advantage in strength.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the crowd, they all turned their attention to Liu Ruming.  Now, fighting against the famous Northeastern Border Guards, we are still in a disadvantageous and difficult offensive, and we have already begun to think about retreating.  Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, and not receiving orders from Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying, he naturally did not dare to retreat at this time.  After a pause, Liu Ruming gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, we have been attacking for almost a day. Although we have made great sacrifices, I think the Northeast Border Guards in the city will also suffer a lot of casualties. It is almost evening."  Once it gets dark, the enemy's air force will be unable to take off, and the artillery will lose its accuracy. Therefore, I decided to temporarily rest in place and wait until night approaches before organizing a sudden attack to attack Huai'an County in one fell swoop and annihilate the city.  Guards!" Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't think of any better way, so they could only nod.  After everyone dispersed, Liu Ruming hurriedly ordered his men to send an emergency message to Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying, asking for instructions in the message to retreat.  At this time, Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying were commanding the main force of the 29th Army to assist the Shanxi-Sui Army in a fierce attack on Guisui, Ulanqab and other important places in Suiyuan.  After receiving the message from Liu Ruming, he immediately called back and instructed him to continue the offensive in order to contain and disperse the forces of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  .  Liu Ruming had no choice but to give up the idea of ??retreat and began to plan the next attack.  ……………………… At the same time, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili also crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Baotou by car.  At this time, wars broke out all over the Pingsui line. More than 100,000 troops from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army launched an attack on Guisui and other places at the same time. Liu Guodong and others commanded the defenders from various places to fight back desperately.  The battle was extremely fierce. They stopped in Baotou to rest for more than two hours. After the train replenished coal, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili boarded the train again and set off towards Guisui.  In the carriage, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were sitting together and discussing the military situation around the map. Guard chief Guo Zhong opened the door and walked in with a telegram in hand.  Standing upright and saluting, he said: "General, please, General Huang Xiansheng is calling. The 200th Division, the 203rd Division and other units have already marched towards Baoding. Another 30,000 troops have also set off from Miyun and Huairou and will arrive in the next few days."  "Zhangjiakou." "Okay, remember that in this battle, we will only attack the Jinsui Army and not the Central Army."  Guo Zhong asked with some confusion: "Commander, what if the Central Army attacks us? Or what should we do if they block the road and refuse to let us pass?" Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Chairman Chiang wants us to fight Yan Laoxi  Both sides will suffer life and death, and the Central Army will definitely take the initiative to avoid my troops heading south. Furthermore, if the Central Army dares to refuse, then I will beat them as well!" Zhang Xinghan said this not out of impulse.  But it is well thought out.  At present, the main force of Chairman Chiang’s Central Army is busy chasing and suppressing the Red Army and has no time to look north.??There is nothing more favorable to our Northeastern Border Guards than the situation at this time.  It is precisely because of these that he decided to immediately go to the west and was not afraid of a battle with Yan Xishan.  After Guo Zhong took the order and left, Jiang Baili looked at him and said: "Commander, once our troops from the Pingjin area go south and threaten Shijiazhuang, Yan Laoxi probably won't be able to sit still." "This is the effect we want, so take action first this time.  It’s him Yan Laoxi. If you don’t teach him a lesson, do you really think that our Northeast Border Guards are weak? He can just pinch him if he wants?” Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then we should also pay attention to controlling the scale of the war this time. The Jinsui Army is still very strong. If we really fight with them and lose both sides, we may really take advantage of Chairman Chiang's Central Army." Jiang Baili reminded.  "Well, of course, it's enough to defeat their attacking troops, counterattack and capture Datong, and finally attack Yanmen Pass to scare Yan Laoxi." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  ………………………………… Huai'an County Town.  The cooking team and the people in the city brought a hot dinner. Wu Chengfeng was holding a bowl of millet porridge and two steamed buns in one hand, and was eating deliciously.  At this time, the communications soldier came back and said: "Reporter, we have contacted the tank battalion. They will arrive in half an hour. Please be prepared." Wu Chengfeng nodded,  He quickly ate up the steamed buns in his hands, drank two big mouthfuls of thin millet porridge, and then turned around and shouted: "Brothers, eat quickly. After eating, let's go out of the city to give some gifts to the grandsons outside the city. They have been attacking for so long.  , We have to return the favor, right? " Twenty-five minutes later, outside the gate of the city, Wu Chengfeng had taken off his major general uniform and put on an ordinary military uniform with a helmet on his head, looking like an ordinary man.  Soldier's attire.  Just kidding, he didn't want to make himself a priority target for the enemy to lead a counterattack.  Behind him and around him, more than a thousand elite soldiers of the entire regiment were ready.  Wu Chengfeng finished dressing up and took two MP38 submachine guns from an adjutant. He held one half-raised in one hand and looked around the subordinates present with his eyes like knives. He said: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived. We have been guarding for so long.  It's time to rush out and attack. "You guys, pick up your weapons and follow me out of the city to avenge your dead brothers and comrades!" After saying that, Wu Chengfeng raised his arms and shouted: "Come on!"  The elite soldiers roared in unison and rushed out following Wu Chengfeng.  The city gate opened quickly, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers rushed out like a tide.  The shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth, and soon alerted the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army who were resting.  However, before they could prepare in panic, an explosion sounded in vain behind them.  The violent explosion and the sudden heavy rain of bullets stunned Liu Ruming's men.  The power unleashed by more than 20 tanks was no less powerful than the elite Northeastern border guards rushing out of the city.  With extremely strong assault capabilities, they quickly tore apart the rear of the 29th Army, rushing forward as unscrupulously as if they were entering uninhabited territory.  Wherever the dense rain of bullets from the vehicle-mounted machine guns hit, the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army officers and soldiers fell in pieces like grass.  Being attacked before and after, especially the sudden appearance of tank troops from the rear, Liu Ruming was given no time and opportunity to react.  Seeing that their attack was getting closer, Liu Ruming, who was already frightened, fled the headquarters with a small group of guards.  The coalition officers and soldiers who lost their commander-in-chief fell into a terrible situation of fighting on their own. Wu Chengfeng led more than a thousand elite soldiers to defeat the enemy.  The tanks of the tank battalion were even more powerful and invincible. The coalition forces were already demoralized due to repeated offensive failures. After suffering heavy losses, they were quickly defeated.  They scrambled to turn around and run away.  Wu Chengfeng commanded his troops to immediately take advantage of the situation and pursue them, killing the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army until rivers of blood flowed and corpses were strewn across the fields.  The train Zhang Xinghan was riding arrived at Guisui at about ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as he got off the train, Guo Zhong followed him and whispered: "Commander, Wu Chengfeng called from the front line of Huai'an. With the cooperation of reinforcements, they defeated the troops outside the city.  In addition to the attacking troops, the reinforcements also defeated Wan Fulin's reinforcements and captured more than 7,000 people! Now the front line of Huai'an is at ease. " "Well, you did a great job, give me a telegram to reward you."  Hearing this, he nodded happily and praised.  .  ????????????Taiyuan, Yan Gongguan.  Although it was already late at night, Yan Xishan was not sleepy at all. He was sitting in a chair smoking and drinking tea, showing his anxiety. ?Yang Aiyuan sat beside him and neither of them spoke, and the room seemed extremely quiet.  Suddenly, the adjutant Xu Youde hurried in and saluted Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan: "Chairman, Chief Yang, the latest military information has been reported from the Huai'an front line." "Oh? How is the situation?" Yan Xishan immediately stood up and asked  road.  Xu Youde looked a little sad and said: "The two regiments of the 29th Army Liu Ruming and our Shanxi-Sui Army that attacked Huai'an County have been defeated by the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and suffered extremely heavy losses. In addition, according to the news I just received, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army has also  Encountered a joint ambush by the enemy's ground and air forces near Huai'an, and almost the entire army was wiped out!" "What?" Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan's expressions changed drastically.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th War of Resistance Chapter 382: Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao

    Unexpectedly, before they could speak, Xu Youde continued: "In addition, there is another major news coming from the direction of Pingjin. Tens of thousands of Northeast Frontier Defense Forces stationed in Pingjin suddenly left their base in Peiping and were heading south to Baoding along the Pinghan-Han Railway." "What?  ?" Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan's expressions changed, and they asked, "What does Zhang Xinghan want to do?" Yang Aiyuan said from the side: "Chairman, it seems that Zhang Xinghan is planning to surround Wei and save Zhao." "What? Are you saying that Zhang Xinghan is planning to defeat Han?"  Railway attack on Shanxi?" Yan Xishan said in surprise.  Yang Aiyuan nodded and said: "It's very possible." "There are still more than 100,000 Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army troops near Baoding and Cangzhou. Does he think he can survive?" Yan Xishan said doubtfully.  Yang Aiyuan said with a heavy face: "I'm afraid that the Central Army is not willing to stop the Northeast Frontier Defense Force from going south for us. Chairman Chiang is eager for us to fight to the death with the Northeast Frontier Defense Force so that his Central Army can reap the benefits." Yan Xishan heard  Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he couldn't help pacing back and forth, and kept saying: "What should we do, what should we do? The Suiyuan offensive has not yet yielded results, and Wan Fulin and Liu Ruming have been defeated again. What should we do?  Okay!" Yang Aiyuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Chairman, the top priority is to order the troops on the western front to strengthen their offensive and capture Suiyuan before the Pingjin troops of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, so that their retreat can be blocked.  Cut it off, so that it cannot be seen from the beginning to the end, and combine with the Ma Jiajun to severely damage it. Once this happens, Chairman Chiang's Central Army will inevitably join the war, and it will not be a problem to expel Zhang Xinghan's forces from the pass. " "What is the situation in Ningxia, ours.  There has been no news yet, could it be something else?" Yan Xishan said worriedly.  "Four days ago, news came back that Qingma Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing had led the main force to Yinchuan. They should have blocked the Northeast Border Guard's attack now. Once we recapture Suiyuan, we will cut off the Northeast Border Guard's logistics.  On the supply line, Ma Jiajun will definitely be able to turn from defense to attack, and attack from both sides with us to jointly defeat the Northeastern Border Guards north of the Great Wall. "There should be no problem," said a man in plainclothes.  The middle-aged man hurriedly walked in.  The visitor, Xu Youde, knew him as the spy chief of the Jinsui Army, Yang Bo. This person was a direct descendant of Yang Aiyuan’s personal training and was responsible for the spy intelligence organization of the Jinsui Army.  Seeing Yang Bo's anxious face, Yang Aiyuan had a bad thought in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Yang Bo, what's the matter?" Yang Bo looked miserable, walked over and saluted sadly: "Chairman, Mr. Yang, Yinchuan has been lost.  "What?" Yang Aiyuan and Yan Xishan were shocked, and said in disbelief: "How could this happen?" "Three days ago."  "Three days ago? Why didn't you report it until now?" Yang Aiyuan was shocked and angry when he heard this.  Yang Bo quickly lowered his head in fear and said: "Mr. Yang, please calm down. Our intelligence organization in Yinchuan was infiltrated and destroyed by the Secret Bureau of the Northeast Border Guard before Yinchuan was besieged. All our people died. Later, when Yinchuan was besieged, the Ma Jiajun elite was lost."  After being completely exhausted, Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang were forced to surrender with their remaining troops. This news was only discovered by our agents in Lanzhou today. At the same time, he also said that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has entered Lanzhou and is advancing towards various parts of Gansu and Qinghai.  "As soon as Yang Bo finished speaking, Yan Xishan sat down on the chair and muttered to himself with a desperate look: "It's over, it's over, this time it's a hornet's nest." Seeing Yan Xishan's behavior, Yang Aiyuan was also like this.  Feeling guilty, he took advantage of the stalemate between the main force of the Northeastern Frontier Army and the Ma's Army to send troops to the west. It was all his attention.  Now that such a mistake has occurred, Yang Aiyuan has an unshirkable responsibility. The Ma Jiajun has been completely wiped out. Attacking the Northeast Frontier Defense Force at this time is equivalent to the Jinsui Army going to war alone with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  To start a war with Zhang Xinghan, who has an army of 100,000 soldiers, the Jinsui Army obviously does not have this strength.  While feeling deeply guilty, Yang Aiyuan was also puzzled. He never imagined that Ma Jiajun, who was always known for his bravery and good fighting skills, would be so vulnerable?  On the other hand, Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force is so powerful?  How long after the war started, the main force of the Ma Jiajun was completely wiped out. The first battle established the situation in the northwest?  It’s incredible.  But now is no longer the time to be shocked and upset. Yang Aiyuan calmed down and said to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, the matter has come to this. We must take measures quickly and order General Fu Zuoyi to stop the attack immediately. All units will take turns to cover and slowly withdraw to Datong.  adjust at the same timeThe troops must strictly guard and defend the Shijiazhuang area.  Yan Xishan said a little pessimistically: "But, Xingru, Zhang Xinghan has no worries now. Can he let us go?"  " "No one can say for sure, whether Zhang Xinghan will not pursue us because he just invaded the northwest and does not want to expand the war.  Our offensive operations must be stopped, otherwise once Zhang Xinghan becomes busy and the main force of the Western Expedition is transferred back, we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to.  Yang Aiyuan said. Yan Xishan nodded silently. Seeing this, Yang Aiyuan quickly waved his hand to Xu Youde and Yang Bo, signaling them to execute the order immediately. After the two left, Yang Aiyuan said to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what,  It is said that we still have nearly 300,000 troops. If Zhang Xinghan really pushes too hard, then we will fight him to the death.  But I don’t think he would do that because of his intelligence, so Chairman, you can relax and don’t worry too much.  ” Yan Xishan nodded in shock, lit a cigarette and started smoking. Datong, the frontline headquarters of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Yan Xishan has handed over the command of the frontline to Fu Zuoyi. At this time, Fu Zuoyi and the 29th Army  Army Commander Song Zheyuan, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhenying and others gathered together to discuss the military situation. The main force of the 29th Army was now integrated with Fu Zuoyi's command, and they were working together to attack the Pingsui Line. During the discussion, a communications staff officer suddenly came in a hurry.  He ran in, stood up and saluted Fu Zuoyi and said: "Commander Fu, Chairman Yan called and ordered all our frontline troops to immediately stop the attack and retreat to Datong overnight with alternate cover.  "    "What?  "Not only Fu Zuoyi was surprised, but even the 29th Army Commander Song Zheyuan, Chief of Staff Xiao Zhenying and others changed their expressions and stood up. The surprise in Fu Zuoyi's eyes did not diminish and he asked: "What's going on?  thing?  So what happened?  " "The Ma Jiajun has been completely wiped out, and our fighter planes to take back Suiyuan have disappeared, so the chairman ordered our entire army to retreat immediately overnight.  "The communications staff officer replied. "The entire Ma family army was wiped out?  "Xiao Zhenying finally couldn't hold it any longer, stepped forward and asked: "Consultant, is this news true?  " "Our Chairman Yan sent it from Taiyuan, can it still be fake?  "The communications staff officer didn't have a good impression of Song Zheyuan, Xiao Zhenying and others, so he asked angrily. "No, no, that's not what I meant.  "Xiao Zhenying forced a smile and waved his hands and said: "I'm just a little shocked. The total strength of the Ma's army and the local militia group is no less than 100,000. How could they be completely wiped out in such a short period of time.  " The communications staff officer said lukewarmly: "I don't know about this humble position. Chairman Yan's telegram contained these contents and did not mention anything else.  " Xiao Zhenying nodded and stepped back. Fu Zuoyi took the message and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said: "It's true. Alas, it's really not as good as God. The Ma Jiajun was defeated so quickly?  " Song Zheyuan and Xiao Zhenying looked at each other, then stepped forward and asked: "General Fu, what are your plans now?  " "What other plans can we have? Since the Ma Jiajun has failed, our fighter planes to retake Suiyuan and join forces with them to attack the Northeast Frontier Defense Force have disappeared.  If we continue to attack, the situation is likely to reverse. Moreover, Chairman Yan also mentioned in the cable that there are Northeastern border guards moving south in the Ping-Tianjin area, which may threaten Shijiazhuang and Shanxi at any time. We must break away from the battle and withdraw to Datong.  "Fu Zuoyi said truthfully. Song Zheyuan nodded silently and said nothing. They still don't know that Wan Fulin and Liu Ruming have returned in defeat. The decision has been made, and Fu Zuoyi soon conveyed the order, and the various departments of the Shanxi-Sui Army quickly  They set up camp overnight and tried to retreat southward under the cover of darkness. However, more than 100,000 troops retreated across the board, and the scouts of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the agents of the Secret Bureau were intent on keeping track of them. It was possible for them to do so quietly.  Less than two hours after they started to retreat, their whereabouts were discovered by the Northeast Border Guards and reported quickly. In Guisui City, Zhang Xinghan had just had dinner with Jiang Baili and others, and was planning to have a good night's rest so that he could command his troops to counterattack tomorrow.  Guo Zhong walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and said: "General, please, we just got the latest news. The main forces of the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army that were confronting us suddenly evacuated.  " Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan looked at each other after hearing this. Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "It seems that Yan Laoxi has noticed something abnormal, but it is too late.  Zhongzi, please send my order immediately, and all divisions and regiments will attack immediately, bite the tail of the Jinsui Army hard, and never let them relax so easily.??Withdraw it!  "    "yes!  "Guo Zhong responded with a bang, and immediately turned around and left under the order. " Zhang Xinghan gave the order, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army of the four divisions attacked across the hundreds of kilometers from Zhangjiakou to Guisui. To Jinsui, which had already evacuated.  The army and the 29th Army launched a fierce pursuit. After receiving the order, Wu Chengfeng also led his troops southward from Huai'an County and headed towards Tianzhen County. PS: The compensation has been updated.

    Datong, the frontline headquarters of the Shanxi-Sui Army.  //Visit to download txt novel //. Song Zheyuan, Xiao Zhenying and others have left. Fu Zuoyi is sitting at the conference table smoking. The anxiety on his face shows that he is worried about the evacuation of the frontline troops at the moment.  Three hours have passed since the troops began to evacuate, and Fu Zuoyi has almost finished half a pack of cigarettes.  Next to him, several staff officers and deputy army commander Ye Qijie stood nearby, all of them silent, not daring to speak out.  The radio station in the telecommunications room on the left outside kept ticking.  Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps. Fu Zuoyi and others followed the sound and saw the communications staff walking in quickly with a piece of telegram in hand.  Without waiting for Fu Zuoyi to ask, he stepped forward and said: "Military seat, it's not good. I just got the news that the Liu Ruming Division of the 29th Army heading east from Tianzhen County to Huai'an and our two regiments of the Jinsui Army were attacked by the enemy at the foot of Huai'an County.  The army was attacked from inside and outside and suffered a disastrous defeat. The whereabouts of Liu Ruming and our two regiment leaders were unknown. Only a small group of defeated troops managed to escape back to Tianzhen County. They brought back bad news that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force that defeated them was already following them.  The pursuit is likely to be in Datong. In addition, our retreating troops in the directions of Ulanqab and Guisui have also reported that there are large groups of Northeastern Border Guards chasing troops behind them, all of which are tanks and armored troops.  , and there is a brigade of infantry behind them, aiming directly at Datong and Shuozhou!" Fu Zuoyi and several staff members changed their faces when they heard this.  "It seems that Zhang Xinghan doesn't intend to give up!" Fu Zuoyi frowned in thought.  "Military seat, what should we do?" Deputy Army Commander Ye Qijie couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.  Fu Zuoyi paused and said: "The only plan now is to ask Chief Yan to mobilize our soldiers from the three Jin Dynasties to prepare for a decisive battle with the Northeast Frontier Defense Army. It would be better to have the jade broken than to be destroyed!" "The military seat means to fight with the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in Datong.  A decisive battle?" Ye Qijie asked in surprise.  Fu Zuoyi shook his head slightly and said: "No, the decisive battle with them in Datong is too hasty, and the situation is not good for us." After saying that, Fu Zuoyi stretched out his hand and pointed on the map, and said solemnly: "The location of the decisive battle is here!" "Yanmen Pass  ?" Ye Qijie and several staff members looked surprised, looked up at each other and then looked at Fu Zuoyi.  Fu Zuoyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is Yanmen Pass. The equipment level of our army is obviously lower than that of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. This decisive battle must be based on the dangerous pass of Yanmen Pass and be carried out on the defensive. Our goal is not to defeat the Northeast Border Defense Force, but  It's to prevent them from invading the land of Sanjin." After speaking, Fu Zuoyi turned to the communications officer who had been waiting for orders: "Counsel Wang!" "Yes!" The communications officer quickly stepped forward and responded.  "Immediately report my strategic vision to Chairman Yan, hoping he can adopt it immediately!" Fu Zuoyi ordered.  "Yes!" The communications staff officer agreed with a bang, then turned around and took the order to leave.  After the communications staff officer left, Fu Zuoyi said to Ye Qijie and others: "Brother Ye, the situation is critical. We have to pack things up quickly. We must go to Yanmen Pass first and then gather the troops." Ye Qijie nodded and quickly instructed the others to get busy.  .  ????????????Taiyuan, Yan Gongguan.  Yan Xishan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the conference room.  Although the order has been issued, Commander Yan still has no idea what the situation is like on the front line. That is his own army of more than 100,000 people, so he cannot be careless.  Suddenly, the adjutant Xu Youde walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand. When he saw Yan Xishan, he saluted: "Commander, General Fu from Datong has an urgent message." "What did Yi Sheng say?" Chief Yan's eyes were filled with anxiety.  He reached out his hand and took the message.  Looking down, Yan Xishan couldn't come to his senses. Has the situation become so serious?  Yisheng asked me to mobilize all the troops to fight Zhang Xinghan?  "Youde, hurry up and let Xing Tathagata come see me!" Yan Xishan came to his senses and immediately gave instructions to Xu Youde.  "Yes." Xu Youde did not dare to delay, nodded in agreement, turned around and ran away.  After a while, Yang Aiyuan, who had gone to arrange military affairs, rushed over panting.  "Chairman, what are you so anxious about?" Yang Aiyuan asked when they met.  Yan Xishan saw Yang Aiyuan and immediately stepped forward to hold his hand as if he were seeing a relative: "Oh, Xingru, you're here. Take a look. This is an urgent telegram from Fu Yisheng from Datong. Unfortunately, you said  During the attack, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force had launched a comprehensive counterattack, and their troops were directed at Datong.??It's time to give up.  Fu Yisheng suggested that I immediately mobilize all the troops from the Three Jin Dynasties to go to Yanmen Pass, Ningwuguan and Pianguan Pass, and rely on the natural dangers of the Great Wall to resist the Northeastern border troops from entering the Three Jin Dynasties!  What can we do? How can we do this?  " Yang Aiyuan has read the telegram quickly, and the frown on his brows is enough to show his current mood. Seeing that Yang Aiyuan did not respond, Yan Xishan pushed back and said: "Xingru, you should give me an idea. What's going on?  What's the best thing to do?  " Chief Yan may be a good player in politics. Of course, this is only in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei-Suiyuan and other places. The military level, especially the strategic vision and tactical level, is really not flattering. In addition, the opponent is the famous Northeast Frontier Defense Force  , both the Japanese and the Russians lost their temper, so they had already lost their sense of proportion. Yang Aiyuan immediately said to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, please be patient. You must stay awake at this time.  " Yan Xishan nodded, calmed down a little, and said: "Now there are no less than 200,000 troops in the two groups of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army. How can we resist it?  " "Chairman, at this point, the only thing we can do is try our best.  "A trace of ferocity flashed in Yang Aiyuan's eyes. "A fight?  Do you mean to agree with Fu Yisheng's efforts to gather the strength of the three Jin Dynasties to fight Zhang Xinghan?  "Yan Xishan couldn't make up his mind. "We have no choice. We can only use the courage and determination to fight decisively, guard the Great Wall at each pass, and let Zhang Xinghan understand our determination to rather be broken than to be destroyed. Only then can it be possible to make him  Give up the decision to invade Shanxi at this time!  "Yang Aiyuan said. "Can you win the battle and defend it?  "Yan Xishan's confidence is obviously insufficient. Yang Aiyuan said anxiously: "Chairman, we still have 300,000 troops, and we have the strong support of the people of the three Jin Dynasties. We are guarding the Pingxing, Zijin, Yanmen and Ningwu passes.  Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass are both dangerous passes in the world. We will defend according to the danger and the soldiers will use their lives. As long as we can block the early attack of the Northeast Frontier Army, Zhang Xinghan will probably want to retreat. By then, victory will definitely belong to us!  "Of course, as for Baoding, Cangzhou, and Shijiazhuang, we can give up temporarily, or leave it to the Central Army of Xu Tingyao and others, and let them confront the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "Yang Aiyuan explained carefully. After listening to Yang Aiyuan's analysis, Yan Xishan regained a little confidence. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Xingru, what you said makes sense. The land of Sanjin is our foundation. I have to come up with Ningwei Jade.  If you don't come with Wa Quan's determination and attitude, even if you lose, you will never let Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, have an easy time!  " After a pause, Yan Xishan said: "Xingru, you immediately send me an order to assemble all the troops that can be assembled, and prepare to hold on to the Xisan Pass, Pingxing Pass, Zijin Pass, and Daoma Pass. In addition, the telegram makes Shang Zhen, ready to give up at any time.  Along the Zhengtai Railway, retreat to Dongsanguan!  "    "yes!  "Yang Aiyuan immediately stood up and responded, then turned around and was ordered to leave. ………………… Northeast of Datong, the county seat of Tianzhen County. As a military flag of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army was raised at the top of the city, this barrier county seat in the northeast of Datong  It had fallen into the hands of the Northeastern Border Guards. Wu Chengfeng, who led the team, accompanied by his adjutants and guards, waited at the top of the city. He leaned on the wall and looked down. He saw a large number of captured Jinsui Army prisoners on the streets of the city.  With their hands raised, they formed two columns and slowly left the city under the escort of Northeastern border guards. "Deputy Commander, we captured a total of 1,300 people in this battle, killed more than 100 people, and hundreds of others fled in a hurry towards Datong.  The tank battalion has gone in pursuit!  "An adjutant reported to Wu Chengfeng. Wu Chengfeng nodded, raised his hand and looked at the time, and immediately said: "Order the troops to leave the prisoners with the follow-up troops. We will continue the pursuit. The one who reaches Datong first will be rewarded with a reward.  One hundred dollars!  "    "ah?  Deputy Master, this?  !  "The adjutant was a little surprised. Wu Chengfeng looked at him angrily: "Ah, what, I paid for this myself.  " After saying that, he muttered in a low voice, at worst, I will go back to the main office and ask for reimbursement. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "  The defeated army had some fierce battles and was easily defeated again, and they took advantage of the situation to capture Datong City. Before their arrival, Fu Zuoyi, Ye Qijie and others withdrew their troops from Datong, while Song Zheyuan, Xiao Zhenying and others retreated.  He also led the 29th Army Headquarters Guards and some troops to retreat. After capturing Datong, the various units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army continued to pursue the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which had retreated thousands of miles from the front line, while reporting the situation  …………………&nbsp; Guisui City, Northeast Frontier Defense Army Headquarters.  "General, good news. Our army has captured Datong. Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie fled without a fight. At present, our pursuit troops have crossed Datong and continue to pursue southward. The main force of the Jinsui Army and the 29th Army have been captured.  We pursued for a day and a night, and we were all defeated. It was terrible. According to preliminary statistics, we have captured no less than two divisions in prison, and this number is still changing and increasing." Jiang Baili said excitedly.  Report to Zhang Xinghan.  After Zhang Xinghan listened, he did not show too much joy. Instead, he turned around and came to the map. He stared at the map for a long time and said, "Chief of Staff, what do you think Fu Zuoyi's intention was in giving up Datong and Shuozhou?" ps:  Sorry for interrupting the update yesterday. As per the old rules, there will be five updates today to make up for it. This is the first update.  In addition, thanks to ENIGMAYANXI for the reward again, so that the book has an extra elder, grateful.  (To be continued.

    Jiang Baili came over and looked at the map. Zhang Xinghan raised his hand and started drawing on the map with a pencil.  It wasn't until Zhang Xinghan finished painting that Jiang Baili suddenly realized: "It seems that the Jinsui Army wants to retreat to Yanmen Pass." Zhang Xinghan nodded, lit a cigarette and took a puff and said: "Yes, Yan Xishan, this old fox, must be afraid of us.  Taking the opportunity to enter Shanxi, he decisively abandoned Suiyuan and concentrated all his efforts to defend the three passes of Yanmen to ensure the safety of Shanxi. For him, Shanxi was his real home base. There was nothing wrong in Shanxi, and the Shanxi-Sui army occupied the inner Great Wall and defended it.  They can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Suiyuan and other places are still within their grasp. "Jiang Baili nodded and said, "That's true. Yanmen has had nine fortresses in the world since ancient times. The leader of Yanmen has the honorific title. The terrain is dangerous.  Although the Jinsui Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, it still retains its strength. If they really try their best to defend Yanmen and other passes, it may not be that easy for our army to break through. "  "If we concentrate the elite of our army and use our artillery and air force advantages, it is not impossible to break through the natural barrier of the Great Wall. However, our army has just taken over the three northwest provinces. Now is the time when digestion and stability are being stabilized. It is really not advisable to be greedy. So.  , now is not the time to go south to Shanxi!" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Let's do this, Chief of Staff, you immediately send power to the pursuit troops and order them to continue the pursuit. When they see Yanmen Pass, they can stop the pursuit, escort the prisoners, clean the battlefield and return to the division.  Shuozhou, stationed on the spot. We won’t take Shanxi for the time being, but Suiyuan has to do with the Pingsui Railway.” “Commander, what about the eastern route?” Jiang Baili nodded and asked.  "Eastern line? Where the situation is more complicated, just give Huang Xiansheng power and let him go to the front line of Baoding and Cangzhou. There is no need to go further south." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  "Yes, I will inform them right away." Jiang Baili immediately took the order and left.  ……………… At Yanmen Pass, Fu Zuoyi, Ye Qijie and others stood on the wall and looked at the mountain road outside the pass. From time to time, they saw the remnants of their own troops fleeing on the winding mountain road. They were all in ragged clothes, with gray faces, and looked miserable. Their morale was low.  Feeling depressed, where is the energy and spirit before the expedition?  Fu Zuoyi sighed and asked: "Brother Ye, how many troops have been withdrawn?" Ye Qijie said in a serious tone: "Currently, according to the reports from Ningwu and Pianguan, plus our Yanmen Pass, the total number of defeated troops withdrawn is less than 40,000.  "Forty thousand people? Six out of ten of the army of more than 100,000?" Fu Zuoyi was heartbroken.  "It should be about the same. According to the current situation, the number of people who can eventually come back will not exceed 50,000 at most. I think they were either captured or chased away and became stragglers. Not many of them were actually killed."  Ye Qijie said.  Fu Zuoyi felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this: "I would rather they all died in the battle and became prisoners. They would probably be reorganized and expanded into their troops by the Northeast Frontier Army. The equipment there is good, the military pay is high, and the conditions are excellent in all aspects."  As for us, as long as we use a few tricks, we can recruit all these illiterate soldiers. In this way, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will become even stronger. "Ye Qijie was also annoyed and said dejectedly."  Yes, in the Battle of Pingjin, Zhang Xinghan captured more than 100,000 prisoners. In less than half a year, these people became members of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. They were all well-trained veterans with combat experience.  , all of them are treasures. In the hands of Zhang Xinghan, after changing the weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness will increase! " "Most of the members of the Northeast Army are officers and soldiers from the Northeast. If they join Zhang Xinghan, they can not only turn around, but also gain more!  With good military pay and benefits, why not go home?" Fu Zuoyi paused and waved his hands: "Forget it, let's not mention this. How are the reinforcements sent by the chairman?  One division has set off and will be able to arrive at Yanmen Pass this evening at most. The other troops are being mobilized and should arrive almost gradually in the next three days," Ye Qijie replied.  "We have two divisions here, plus the fresh force of one division, it is enough to guard Yanmen Pass for the time being." Fu Zuoyi nodded and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will be alert and ready to fight at any time. This is our last battle in Shanxi."  This is a barrier, no more mistakes can be made." Ye Qijie nodded in agreement. The two stayed on the city wall for a while, then turned and walked down the city wall.  That night, in Fu Zuoyi’s headquarters.  "Brother Ye, it's been so long, why haven't the Northeast Border Guards come after us?" Fu Zuoyi asked.  Ye Qijie said with the same confusion: "Yes, our last batch of troops withdrawing from Shuozhou said that Shuozhou was captured by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force as early as the morning. With theirWith such a marching speed, it would be impossible to catch up in such a long time.  " "Did something happen?  " "No matter what happens to him, you immediately arrange for the reconnaissance force to send people out to conduct reconnaissance at night. Anyway, it is night, which is conducive to our actions.  " Fu Zuoyi instructed. "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away.  "Ye Qijie stood up and left. Fu Zuoyi stared at the map under the light and said with a puzzled look on his face: "That's strange. Is Zhang Xinghan up to another conspiracy?  "The reconnaissance force of the Jinsui Army did not return the news until dawn. Fu Zuoyi had fallen asleep on the map. Suddenly he was woken up: "Military seat, military seat, wake up quickly, wake up quickly.  " Fu Zuoyi woke up dizzy. When he looked up, he saw Ye Qijie standing in front of him with an excited look and asked: "Brother Ye, what's going on?  Ye Qijie was so excited that he was speechless and said: "Military seat, good news. According to the report of our army's reconnaissance force, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's pursuit troops have all withdrawn to the Shuozhou area and have no intention of continuing to pursue southward."  " When Fu Zuoyi heard this, he lost all sleep. He stood up and asked with surprise: "Brother Ye, are you telling the truth?  " Ye Qijie also nodded excitedly: "Yes, it's absolutely true.  " "Great, it seems that Zhang Xinghan is not planning to attack Shanxi.  " Fu Zuoyi said overjoyed. Ye Qijie nodded in agreement. Suddenly, Fu Zuoyi said again: "However, Brother Ye, we can't be careful, we still have to be vigilant to prevent this from being Zhang Xinghan's plan to paralyze his troops.  " "Yes, the military commander is wise!  "Ye Qijie nodded again. "Having said that, the two of them were obviously in a much more relaxed mood than yesterday. Although they were defending according to danger, they both knew. "Fighting against such a powerful opponent as the Northeast Border Defense Force, even if there is something like Yanmen Pass,  It was a dangerous place and it was difficult to predict the outcome. Two days later, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force still did not attack. Only then did Fu Zuoyi, Ye Qijie and others feel relieved and reported the situation to Yan Xishan, who was far away in Taiyuan.  After listening to Xu Youde's report, Xishan took out a sweat towel and wiped his forehead, and said with relief: "Great, great, damn, as long as Zhang Xinghan doesn't attack, everything is fine, everything is fine.  Yang Aiyuan on the side smiled and said: "Chairman, it seems that Zhang Xinghan does not dare to take such a big risk to annex our Shanxi. In a short time, we in Shanxi can sit back and relax."  " "But Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and Mongolia all fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan.  With such a powerful and dangerous warlord as my neighbor, I have trouble sleeping and eating!  " Yang Aiyuan advised in a good voice: "Chairman, don't worry too much. Your health is important. There is a solution to everything. Zhang Xinghan has just annexed several provinces in the northwest, and it will take some time to digest. In addition, there are Russians in the north and Japanese in the east.  He is still watching with eagerness, and within a short period of time, he should be unable to continue southward to expand his territory.  “Furthermore, it is said that Chairman Chiang has made considerable progress in the southern corner, and he should be able to free up his hands to deal with the north.  Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Army rose rapidly and seemed to have restored the momentum of Zhang Zuolin’s warlord affiliation.  Chairman Chiang and the others will never sit idly by. As long as we join forces with the Central Army, we will definitely be able to constrain Zhang Xinghan's strategic intention of going south.  "Yang Aiyuan analyzed. "I hope so, but we also have to expand our armaments as much as possible and improve our combat effectiveness.  " Yan Xishan said. "Commander, our military strength is almost at the limit of what Shanxi Province's human and financial resources can bear. Now that we have lost Suiyuan, it may be difficult to expand it again.  "Yang Aiyuan said. "What can we do?  "When it comes to losing Suiyuan Province, Yan Laoxi feels a twinge of pain. "Chairman, don't worry, our military strength is actually quite large.  What we lack is more advanced weapons and equipment. Chairman, do you think there is a big gap between our current equipment level and Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force?  I heard that their ordinary infantrymen are equipped with either submachine guns or machine guns. The rifles commonly equipped are also advanced rifles that we have never seen that can fire continuously.  The firing speed of a rifle is almost as fast as that of an infantry squad of ours, and their machine guns are even more impressive.  Not to mention they also have an air force and a large tank and armored force.  "Yang Aiyuan said with envy and a little bit of disappointment. Hearing what Yang Aiyuan said, Yan Laoxi was even more disappointed. He has a small territory and has never been able to compare with Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang in terms of financial, material and military strength.Ties warlords.  Although there has been some development in the field of military weapons, it is still inferior to the Northeastern Army. The Northeastern Army has both navy and air force, while the Shanxi-Sui Army does not even have a warship. This is a lack of innate advantages, and it is also something that Chief Yan has no words for.  It hurts.  "But Chairman, you don't have to be discouraged. Shanxi is mountainous and the terrain is steep. Real tanks, artillery and aircraft units may not be able to play their due role. Although we have shortcomings in this regard, there is no need to be too discouraged.  In my opinion, we should strengthen the individual weapons of our infantry as soon as possible, such as more advanced rifles, machine guns and small-caliber artillery, and find ways to purchase them. With these, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.  The favorable terrain may not mean that we cannot fight against the Northeast Border Guards," Yang Aiyuan stated his opinion.  (To be continued.)

    "It makes sense, Xingru. I'm afraid we can't purchase weapons in China. We still need to contact Western countries. I'll leave this matter to you. You should work harder." Yan Xishan patted him.  Yang Aiyuan's left shoulder said meaningfully.  "Thank you, Chairman, for your trust. I will do my best to handle this matter well and enhance the combat effectiveness of our Jin army." Yang Aiyuan lowered his head and said.  After ordering all the troops to stop pursuing the Jinsui Army, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili went to the forefront of Shuozhou for an inspection.  It comforted the officers and soldiers of the frontline units and boosted their morale.  After returning to Datong, Wu Chengfeng and other division officers came to greet him.  As soon as they met, after exchanging pleasantries, Wu Chengfeng pulled him aside and whispered: "Maintain, I have something I need to tell you about." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan looked at his face with curiosity.  This tiger general said: "Tell me what you have to say, why are you so secretive?" "Um" Wu Chengfeng said a little embarrassedly: "When I led the troops to chase the enemy yesterday, I made a promise to be the first to invade Datong.  , a reward of 100 yuan But, you know, the military salary for the humble position has not been paid yet. " "That's it?" When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he was immediately angry and funny, and couldn't help but kicked Wu Chengfeng: "You motherfucker.  Why do you have a reward policy when you don’t have money? ” “Oh, sir, my conscience, this is for the sake of the war. The brothers are eagerly waiting for me to go back and fulfill my promise. You can’t let me let the brothers do it.  Isn't it heartbreaking? Can't you just treat it as a humble job?" Wu Chengfeng said with a mournful face.  When Jiang Baili and others saw this, they all looked curious and gathered around.  Zhang Xinghan told the story, and everyone burst into laughter.  "Why are you laughing? Don't laugh. This trick of mine is really useful. My tank battalion was indeed the first to invade Datong. Since Huai'an, we have successively conquered Tianzhen, Lego, and Datong, and captured cities and territories. We captured countless prisoners.  "Wu Chengfeng said quite proudly.  "Okay, stop blabbering. This award is issued by the headquarters. Each of your tank battalion will be awarded fifty yuan. The rest of the troops will be awarded according to their military merits. There will be no pensions for those killed in action.  "Sir, these will be reported to the Logistics Department on your own after the war," Zhang Xinghan said with an annoyed smile.  "The president is wise, long live the president!" Wu Chengfeng stood up quickly and said loudly.  "Haha!" Zhang Xinghan couldn't help laughing when he saw his funny appearance.  After having a meal with Wu Chengfeng and others in Datong, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili left Datong as encouragement.  Arriving at Zhangjiakou, we took the train straight to Peiping.  Four days later, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili arrived at Peking Station.  Huang Xiansheng, Liu Jianguo and others, who had returned from Baoding earlier than them, went to the station to greet them in person.  "Headmaster, take a seat, it's been a hard journey!" Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo's group met at the station and saluted and shook hands with excitement.  "It's not hard work. I've been sleeping on the train for several days. No matter how tired you are, it's time to take a rest. But it's you. Everyone deserves credit for their hard work! Haha." Zhang Xinghan smiled and shook hands with them one by one.  "The boss is serious. Please get in the car. Let's go back to the city." Huang Xiansheng said solemnly.  ?????????Qingdao, Northeast Navy First Fleet Headquarters.  As mentioned earlier, after the September 18th Incident, the entire Northeast Army and Army retreated outside Pingjin, and two naval fleets were stationed in Qingdao.  The reason is that after the Central Plains War.  Marshal Zhang marched into the pass with his troops and supported Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in safeguarding the Nationalist Government's unification of the country.  In addition to gaining control of Pingjin, Rehe, Chahar, and Hebei, and controlling the provinces of North China, Marshal Zhang also received the privilege of garrisoning troops in Qingdao, Shandong.  It is because of this that these two naval fleets have been stationed in Qingdao. It is also because of this that they avoided a battle with the Japanese navy after the September 18th Incident.  And thus survived.  In the Battle of Pingjin, Pingjin and other places were all captured by Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force, and the 170,000-strong army collapsed.  Now Marshal Zhang’s Northeastern Army only has a foothold in Qingdao, a tiny place in the country.  On that day, He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan fled Tianjin with a small number of guards and fled to Qingdao.  He was warmly received by the Navy Commander, Shen Honglie.  In the past six months, Yu Xuezhong, who was injured that night in Peking, also recovered from his injury and came to Qingdao.  Regarding Yu Xuezhong, everyone thought he had died in Peiping, so they were quite surprised.  However, today, a more exciting day for Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan has finally arrived.  &nbsp; That is Zhang Xueliang, who has been visiting Europe for more than half a year. Their Marshal Zhang is finally coming back.  Although they have lost Pingjin and 200,000 troops, Marshal Zhang is still their backbone. As long as he comes back, their hope will still be there.  On the Qingdao pier, Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo, Liu Duoquan, Shen Honglie and others were waiting anxiously. From time to time, several people raised their telescopes and looked at the sea.  Finally, a merchant ship flying the French flag appeared in their sight. Accompanying the French merchant ship were two small gunboats.  That is one of the ships of their Northeast Navy. Although it is called two fleets, the tonnage and number of ships in this naval force are extremely shabby.  There are less than thirty large and small ships, among which the largest warship is only more than 3,000 tons, which is not even the tonnage of a Japanese light cruiser.  It’s really weak and not worth mentioning.  About ten minutes later, the merchant ship docked, and Yu Xuezhong and others finally saw Shaoshuai Zhang and the beauty beside him, Miss Zhao Si, who had been away for half a year.  Several people rushed up to greet them, almost in tears, and saluted with choked words: "Young Marshal, you are finally back." Zhang Xueliang looked at the few but loyal subordinates in front of him, and he had mixed feelings for a moment.  He stepped forward, hugged and shook hands with them and comforted them: "Brothers, Han Qing has already known about the Peking-Tianjin Incident, but because he has no good plan, he has been stranded and has not returned. You have been wronged!"  I hope the young commander punishes me!" Several people cried with guilt and lowered their heads.  "Alright, alright, brothers, don't blame yourself. As the saying goes, a horse's strength is known over a long journey, and a human heart is known over time. I am very touched by the friendship you can still stick to when the Han Dynasty is in trouble.  I won't blame you at all, on the contrary, I want to thank you, you are all my best brothers!" Marshal Zhang felt mixed feelings in his heart and held their hands sincerely.  "The sea breeze is strong here. Marshal, Miss Zhao, let's go back and talk first." Navy Commander Shen Honglie suggested: "Young Marshal and Miss Zhao must be very tired after traveling all the way." "That's right, Marshal, let's go back first.  , you and Miss Zhao have a good rest, we will talk about things later," Liu Duoquan nodded suddenly.  Marshal Zhang and Miss Zhao Si nodded excitedly, then got into the car they had prepared and drove towards Qingdao city.  When they arrived at the headquarters, Shen Honglie and the others had already prepared a place for Marshal Zhang and Miss Zhao. Miss Zhao went to wash up and rest, but Marshal Zhang came to the conference room.  Shen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong, and Liu Duoquan have been waiting for a long time.  Several people stood up and saluted, and Marshal Zhang quickly waved his hands and said kindly: "Everyone, please don't be too polite. We are brothers. There is no need to be like this. Come, everyone, sit down."  Later, he was promoted and reused by Zhang Xueliang and his son, and was regarded as their confidant.  However, he can be regarded as the actual founder of the Northeast Navy. In this era, due to the arrival of Zhang Xinghan, he did not break away from Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army after the September 18th Incident and defected to the National Government headed by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  .  Because Zhang Xueliang was still in Pingjin, the Northeast Navy's contact with him was cut off, and military expenses were always provided by Zhang Xueliang.  In addition, Shen Honglie was also a Northeastern Army general who hated Chairman Chiang and was quite loyal to Marshal Zhang.  Therefore, the Northeast Navy has always been under Zhang Xueliang's control.  Out of respect for Zhang Xueliang, Shen Honglie gave up the first place where he usually sat and sat on the side.  After everyone sat down, Zhang Xueliang first appeased everyone with kind words, and then expressed strong condemnation and anger against Zhang Xinghan for using troops against Pingjin and attacking the Northeastern Army.  Yu Xuezhong, Shen Honglie and others apologized guiltily while trying to persuade the seemingly furious Shaoshuai Zhang.  After Marshal Zhang calmed down a little, Liu Duoquan asked seriously: "Young Marshal, now that we have no Pingjin and no Northeast, only Qingdao is left. What should we do in the future?" "Yes,  Young Marshal, please show us the way. As long as you are here, Young Marshal, we will follow you." He Zhuguo also expressed his stance quickly.  Marshal Zhang pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Everyone, Pingjin has been lost, and all the Northeast has fallen into the hands of Zhang Xinghan. He is now so powerful that we cannot compete with him for the time being. For now, we will take Qingdao as our foothold.  , after gaining a foothold, Xu Tu Huadong and the Central Plains will make a comeback!" "Xu Tu Huadong?" Yu Xuezhong and others looked at each other after hearing this.??I can't believe it.  Liu Duoquan even said directly: "Commander, this Qingdao is Han Fuqu's territory in Shandong. Can we stand on it? Let alone Xu Tu's entire East China Central Plains." "Yes, Shandong is indeed Han Fuqu's territory.  But don’t forget, this is also within the jurisdiction of the National Government. You don’t know Chairman Chiang. What was his purpose in letting our Northeast Navy stationed in Qingdao in the first place? It was to use us to check and balance local powerful factions like Han Fuqu.  , has achieved the goal of balancing the situation in Shandong. Therefore, Chairman Chiang will never sit back and let Han Fuqu dominate in Shandong. This is our opportunity. Don’t forget that I am still the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army.  , I will go to Nanjing in a few days to win over the mayor of Qingdao City Chengzhang (characterized by Shen Honglie), and then we will develop in Xutu!" Zhang Shaoshuai said.  (To be continued.)

    When Shen Honglie heard that Zhang Xueliang wanted to fight for the position of mayor of Qingdao City, he was pleasantly surprised at first. Then he came to his senses and quickly declined respectfully: "Young Marshal, thank you for your kindness, but the position of mayor of Qingdao City is really a humble one."  "It's not appropriate. It should be taken up by you personally." "Yes, I think Brother Chengzhang is right. Marshal, it is only appropriate that you personally take up the post of mayor of Qingdao." Liu Duoquan quickly followed.  He nodded.  Seeing that other people wanted to persuade others, Zhang Xueliang immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stop and said: "Everyone, I understand what you are thinking, but I am indeed not suitable to hold the post of mayor of Qingdao City concurrently. Brother Cheng Zhang is the most suitable one."  I will fully recommend him to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. You should stop trying to persuade me. The most important thing for us now is to unite as one, develop with all our heart, and take Qingdao as the starting point. As long as you are united with Han Qing, I believe that we will succeed.  We can definitely make a comeback! " "Yes! We will definitely follow the young commander to the death and make a comeback!" Everyone stood up and expressed their opinions.  ……………………Nanjing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek’s residence.  Chief of Guard Wang Shihe came to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's office with a piece of telegram, stood up and saluted Chairman Chiang Kai-shek who was at work, and reported: "Commissioner, I have just been warned that Zhang Xueliang has returned to China." "Oh? He is here now.  Where?" Chairman Jiang stopped what he was doing and looked up.  "In Qingdao, Shen Honglie and several of his subordinates met him." Wang Shihe said.  Qingdao?  Chairman Chiang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "Zhang Hanqing is completely screwed this time. Let's do this. You can send me a message and invite him to come to Nanjing when he has time. I will personally take care of him."  Without the Double Twelve Incident, Chairman Chiang still had a good impression of Marshal Zhang. After all, he supported troops into the Pass at such a critical moment in the Central Plains War and made great contributions to winning the crucial battle.  Wang Shihe quickly lowered his head and said yes, and continued: "Commissioner, the situation in North China has returned to stability. Zhang Xinghan's territory has expanded to Suiyuan, Baoding, and Cangzhou. The entire Shanxi-Sui army has retreated to Shanxi and closed the border to defend itself. I  The only remaining military line in Hebei is the Zhengtai Line, which is centered around Shijiazhuang. "Yes, I understand. You can go ahead." Chairman Jiang nodded and waved his hand.  "Yes." Wang Shihe bowed out respectfully.  "There are some things that should be reported, and his responsibilities have been fulfilled. As for what the leader thinks and what he plans to do, he no longer needs to worry about it.  However, it is still necessary to figure out the leader's thoughts, so as soon as he left the chairman's office, he did not rush away, but deliberately slowed down and waited aside.  Sure enough, less than a minute later, Chairman Chiang's voice came from the office: "Shihe, Shihe?" Wang Shihe quickly deliberately ran back, pushed the door in, and said breathlessly: "  Commissioner, your name is Beizhi?" Chairman Jiang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you should go and inform Jingzhihe Cixiu immediately and ask them to come and discuss urgent matters with me." "Yes, Beizhi will go right away.  "Wang Shihe quickly lowered his head and responded. After saluting, he turned around and left quickly.  ???………………Beiping City, 200th Division Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others had already finished their meal, and now returned to the conference room, discussing the deployment of troops on the front line in Baoding and Cangzhou.  Everyone stood around the map. Zhang Xinghan moved a chair and sat down. Holding a command pole in his hand, he pointed at Baoding and Cangzhou and other tunnels on the map: "Everyone, this, here, will be the focus of your future defenses."  , on this line, more than 70% of the troops must be deployed to ensure their safety as a defense for Pingjin. " "Commander, you mean that the 70,000 troops that were transferred out of the pass not long ago will not go outside the pass.  Is it adjusted?" Liu Jianguo asked tentatively.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, I will not be transferred. I will be transferred to your command on the spot. In order to facilitate the command in the future, on the way to Peiping, I discussed with the chief of staff for a long time about adding another unit to our Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "General, you mean to establish a military-level command organization?" Huang Xiansheng said: "This must be approved by the Nanjing National Government, otherwise we will not have a formal designation." Zhang Xinghan shook his head with a smile.  He shook his head and said: "Brother Jing Zhong, first of all, I want to tell you that the command organization established this time is not at the military level. In order to facilitate the unified command of the garrisons in various provinces, cities and regions, the additional organization this time is a group army. Each group army has several infantry divisions under its jurisdiction.  Unlike other military units.The first-level command structure of the military.  ?Then there is the issue of serial numbers. Today, do you think Nanjing Zhengfu will still give us the serial numbers we want?  " Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Liu Jianguo was Zhang Xinghan's former deputy battalion commander and an absolute confidant. He said cautiously: "What do you mean, Chief?  Are we self-reliant?  " "Nonsense!  "Zhang Xinghan suddenly became furious, pointed at Liu Jianguo and shouted to everyone: "There is one thing you all need to pay attention to. We will never act to split the country, at least before we conquer Japan, this is absolutely not allowed.  .  Therefore, I hope everyone will remember that no matter when the time comes, we are Chinese people and the guardians of the Chinese nation.  Liu Jianguo and others immediately bowed their heads and remained silent. After a pause, Zhang Xinghan continued: "As for the issue of numbers, don't worry about it. The chief of staff and I had already checked the official establishment of the existing army of the Nationalist Army before we came here."  , and I have a preliminary plan, which should be announced to everyone soon after I return to Jilin.  ??Everyone must remember that until the Japanese may come back at any time, we are still members of the National Revolutionary Army. It is our duty to safeguard national dignity and defend the country from infringement.  " Huang Xiansheng and others nodded, expressing their agreement with Zhang Xinghan's ideas and decisions. Later, Huang Xiansheng asked: "Commander, this time you left 70,000 troops in Pingjin, and the main force of the Western Expedition also stayed in Suiyuan.  Haar and the three northwest provinces.  “Then our troops inside the customs are much weaker, and you don’t have many mobile troops in your hands. If the Korean Peninsula or the Russians come back, how will we respond outside the customs?  " After Huang Xiansheng said this, everyone became a little worried and looked at Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Baili said: "You don't have to worry about this. To tell you the truth, in this Western Expedition, we will only  We captured the Jinsui Army, which included 30,000 to 40,000 people, as well as the Ma Jiajun and their militia that had all surrendered. The number of new soldiers increased by at least 100,000. With a little reorganization, these soldiers can be used for us to form a few more divisions.  “ Moreover, we have gained five new provinces in the northwest, plus Baoding and Cangzhou. The population in our territory has greatly expanded, and the number of soldiers we can recruit has also greatly increased.  The commander has already made preliminary plans to recruit another 100,000 northwest soldiers from the above-mentioned five provinces within the next year on the basis of our existing ones.  People from the northwest can endure hardships and stand hard work, and they are all good soldiers.  Within three years, the total strength of our Northeast Frontier Defense Force must reach at least one million, to be enough for us to deal with changes and emergencies that may occur in the future.  " Hearing what Jiang Baili said, everyone felt relieved and even more excited. With a million troops, by then, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will develop into a powerful entity that truly dominates Northeast Asia. Thinking of the possible cross-sea eastward expedition, everyone  They were all in a state of excitement and excitement. It was already a week later when Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili returned to Jilin. During this period, Zhang Xinghua took advantage of the rare truce to return home with his wife and children.  After looking at his nephew Zhang Jianhai, he also brought back good news that Su Hanyun was pregnant with another child. Zhang Weiguo was already able to walk, and he even called Zhang Xinghua uncle. He was deeply loved by Zhang Xinghua.  He was also very tired of Zhang Xinghan, and when he saw Zhang Xinghan, he opened his arms for his uncle to hug him. After the family finished eating, several women were whispering in the room, and Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghua brothers rarely stayed with their father.  Drinking tea, we gathered around the chessboard and started playing chess. It was already the end of April, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. Of course, compared to the south, April and May in the Northeast were still colder, but Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Xinghua were so tough.  Maybe they were overdressed. Both of them were wearing a pair of trousers, military boots, and a white shirt. While playing chess, Zhang Yuxi said meaningfully: "Xinghan, your Northeast Frontier Defense Force is strong now."  At the height of the sun, the territory has caught up with Zhang Zuolin's.  But the more this happens, the more careful you two brothers must be. Whether they are Japanese, Russians, or southerners, they are all eager to deal with you.  Zhang Zuolin’s fate illustrates a problem very well, that is, the first bird is shot. I hope you will keep this in mind. Your father and your mother are both worried. Do you know?  " "Dad, don't worry about this, Xinghua and I will pay attention to it.  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile. "Yes, brother is right, we will all pay attention.  "Zhang Xinghua quicklynod.  "Well, I believe you. The performance of your two brothers is beyond my and your mother's expectations. You are so promising. The two of us are also fooling around. You young people are much smarter and more cautious than us. But  , How can a parent not be worried about his or her children?" Zhang Yuxi seemed to be talking to herself, but also to the two of them.  Both brothers were extremely filial and nodded in unison.  Zhang Xinghua held the veteran's somewhat withered hand and said, "Dad, don't worry, you and your mother, we really will be fine." "Dad, Xinghua is right, we will be fine, but you and your mother, you must not  Think too much and enjoy yourself, your fourth grandson is about to be born!" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "Yes, yes, be happy and enjoy the blessings, enjoy the blessings." Zhang Yuxi smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 387: Submarine Force

    The next day, Zhang Xinghua returned to the air force base after his vacation, but Su Hanyun and his son Zhang Weiguo stayed behind.  Although both of them are very reluctant to leave, Liu Liping has said that Su Hanyun is now pregnant and has to take care of Weiguo, who is more than one year old. Xinghua is busy with military affairs, how can he take good care of her.  So for the sake of the child and the mother, the two had to reluctantly separate.  Zhang Xinghan played with the children at home and spent some time with his wife Wang Ruoying. After breakfast, he took Guo Zhong to the headquarters by car.  When he arrived, Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others had already arrived and were waiting for him.  He waved his hand to indicate that they should sit down instead of standing up to salute. Zhang Xinghan turned to Guo Zhong and said, "Zhongzi, go and pour me a cup of tea." "Chief, what kind of beer is produced by this brewery? Do you want to try it?" Zang Shiyi suddenly said  he asked, standing up.  "Beer?" Zhang Xinghan was startled at first, then suddenly said: "You mean the beer produced by our Longtanshan Brewery?" "Yes, it is the beer produced by Longtanshan Brewery. I have already named it Longshan Beer without authorization.  , now the breweries have begun to sell well in pubs, hotels and other places in Changchun, Jilin, Harbin and other places, and some are in short supply." When talking about beer, Zang Shiyi narrowed his eyes with a smile.  "Longshan Beer?" Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment and said, "Although this name is not bad, as the first brand of beer in Northeast China, this brand is not loud enough or appropriate enough. It can be reserved for private enterprises in the future." "  Then Mr. Zang, please give me a better name." Zang Shiyi said quickly.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a long time and said: "Since it is a beer produced in the Northeast, let's call it Bingcheng Beer. Harbin Bingcheng. Who knows about it in the whole Northeast?" "Bingcheng Beer?" Zang Shiyi couldn't bear to hear this.  Zhu nodded in agreement and said: "This name is good, this name is appropriate, in line with the characteristics of our Northeast beer, and it is easy to remember." "In that case, let's call it Bingcheng beer. Pass on my order. In the Northeast, from now on  All garrison troops, police, military police and other government and military personnel are not allowed to buy foreign beer whether they are on vacation or attending work. They will all buy our Bingcheng beer. It is glorious to support domestic products. It is shameful to buy foreign products.  , is unpatriotic." Zhang Xinghan felt a little angry. No one else present could predict how much benefit his words would bring to the independent industry of the Chinese nation in the future.  But as a time traveler, he knows.  "Okay, Zhongzi, go get me a bottle of Bingcheng beer. The chief of staff and I will also try our Chinese homemade beer!" Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to Guo Zhong.  Drinking beer, Zhang Xinghan burped and listened to Zang Shiyi's report: "General Sir, at present, the political affairs of our four northeastern provinces are stable, and the local economy and people's livelihood have been well restored. As for the five northwest provinces, the humble positions have been  Suitable personnel will be dispatched from various places to Suiyuan, Chahar and Ningxia, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. After the reorganization and transformation of the captive soldiers is completed, I will personally lead people to the northwest provinces to inspect and arrange the government affairs. "  Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction. Currently, his territory does not include the Koryo Peninsula, but nine and a half provinces, plus the four cities of Pingjin, Baoding, and Cangzhou.  The Korean Peninsula has their own political officials. Zhang Xinghan only needs to maintain the right to garrison troops on the peninsula and support the puppet regime. Someone will pay for his military expenditure of hundreds of thousands of troops.  As for the economic and industrial development of the Koryo region, don’t talk nonsense. I don’t even have enough manpower to develop the domestic territory now, so how can I care about the Koryo Peninsula, a small and useless place.  "Minister Zang, how is the transformation of our captive soldiers going this time?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked.  Zang Shiyi quickly replied: "Reporting to the chief, the number of captured soldiers we obtained this time, including the Jinsui Army and the surrendered Ma Jiajun, is 94,638. There are currently 40,000 Jinsui Army prisoners.  They were transferred outside the customs and are now being assembled and trained in Tongliao and Chaoyang. There are more than 50,000 Ma Jiajun prisoners still in Lanzhou, Yinchuan and other places, and they are still being assembled and transported, mainly because the garrison troops are currently busy maintaining local security, and our logistics.  The department is busy appeasing the people and carrying out government affairs, so there is no spare capacity to transfer them outside the customs for reorganization and transformation." After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately gave instructions: "Minister Zang, the current total strength of our army is less than sixty.  Thousands of people, and the territory has expanded to five and a half provinces, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the number of troops is already somewhat insufficient. The process of reforming and reorganizing the captured soldiers must be accelerated. These people are not the same as before.??The prisoners of the Northeast Army are all veterans with combat experience. As long as the transformation and reorganization are completed, they will immediately become qualified soldiers of our army.  We now urgently need a mobile force of about 100,000 troops, just in case.  " "Yes, yes, I will definitely handle this matter as soon as possible."  "Zang Shiyi nodded and replied. "Well, after completing the reorganization and transformation of more than 90,000 captive soldiers, you are recruiting new soldiers from the five northwest provinces, Baoding, Cangzhou and other places, with an initial target of 150,000.  What are the backbones for? They will be drawn from the main forces at that time.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Okay, I've written it down.  "Zang Shiyi nodded again. "How is the navy's training going?  "Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked. Zang Shiyi quickly replied: "Three days ago, our naval fleet held its first live-fire military exercise in the Bohai Bay. The results were quite good, and the British instructors were very satisfied.  They also praised our naval cadets as the most diligent and intelligent cadets they have ever seen.  "    "Yeah?  Zhang Xinghan laughed heartily when he heard this, and then said to Zang Shiyi: "Minister Zang, please send a message to the naval instructor Mr. Ives in my name and ask him to fly to Jilin. I have something to discuss with him."  " "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away.  Zang Shiyi said. After Zang Shiyi left, Jiang Baili asked, "Chief Executive, what do you want to see Ives for at this time?"  " "Our navy started late. No matter how fast the training is, we can never expect to surpass the Japanese Navy's combined fleet in a short period of time.  But our navy cannot just remain inactive, not only because the Japanese are acting unscrupulously in our coastal waters, as if they are in an uninhabited land, and are arrogant and domineering to the extreme. Our navy recruits need brilliant results to boost the morale of the military.  Improve their determination and perseverance in hard training.  We must also do something so that the Japanese no longer feel that China’s territorial waters are as safe as their back garden.  Even their territorial waters and the high seas thoroughfares through which they trade with foreign countries are unsafe.  " "What do you mean, Commander?  "Jiang Baili was confused when he heard this. Zhang Xinghan said: "If we talk about conventional ship operations on the water, we are currently not an opponent of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.  So if you want to threaten the safety of their route, the only way is to find a way under the water. Have you heard of Submarine Chief of Staff?  "The reason why Zhang Xinghan asked this is because submarines existed as early as World War I, but the submarines at that time were far from the current level. As for the submarines in his watch that were more than ten years old,  The U-type submarines that later traveled across the Atlantic were even worse. In his spare time, Zhang Xinghan had already read various performance data and information about U-type submarines. Judging from the performance of U-type submarines, the performance of the navies of various countries around the world is now very different.  In terms of equipment level, it has no rivals. The Japanese navy is far behind the navies of the United States, Britain and other countries in terms of information technology and various cutting-edge high-tech weapons and equipment. Therefore, it is even more helpless against U-type submarines.  Zhang Xinghan's idea is to establish a submarine force as soon as possible with the help of the British. The officers and soldiers of the submarine force may not be outstanding, but as long as they can skillfully maneuver the submarine to sneak and launch attacks, it will be enough because of the excellent performance of U-shaped submarines.  It will offset their disadvantage of lack of training and actual combat experience. As expected, Jiang Baili still nodded curiously: "Submarine, you know, I have visited European countries and seen submarines, and I also studied at the Japanese Army Officer School.  I have heard information about submarines. Commander, why do you ask?  " "I just said that we have to find a solution from underwater, so isn't the only one that can suddenly launch an attack from underwater is a submarine?  "Zhang Xinghan said with a half-smile. Jiang Baili suddenly realized: "Commander, you mean to form a submarine force?  " "Yes, as long as they have submarine forces, they can sail out to sea and attack Japanese warships entering our coast of China. In addition, all Japanese merchant ships and fishing boats engaged in foreign trade are also within our target range.  Inside.  Japan is originally an island country with a lack of local resources. Ninety-nine percent of its various resources are imported.  If our submarine force can successfully attack Japanese merchant ships and fishing boats, how much panic will it cause to Japanese people?  What a loss?  This is not difficult to imagine.  "Jiang Baili nodded: "This idea is indeed good. If our submarine force is strong enough, we will be able to severely damage the Japanese caravan and naval fleet. Even if we cannot completely block Japanese training, we can also hinder their import speed and speed.  efficiency.  So give himIt has had a serious impact on our economy and industrial development.  " After a pause, Jiang Baili continued: "However, Commander-in-Chief, this training of submarine forces cannot be achieved in a short time. It will be more difficult than training surface ship sailors.  The most important thing is that we don’t have submarines, only Western countries and the Japanese have such things!  " Zhang Xinghan smiled mysteriously and said: "Chief of Staff, you have forgotten again. Even naval instructors can't stump us. How can a few submarines stump me?  ” ps: The fifth update is completed, please support me by monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you all! (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 388: xxi Submarine

    "What, General Zhang, you want to form a submarine force? Do you have a submarine?" A few days later, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force was in a secret room at the headquarters in Jilin.  . Ives, who had just arrived here, stood up in extreme surprise after hearing Zhang Xinghan’s explanation of his purpose.  "Yes, we can buy the submarine." Zhang Xinghan nodded leisurely.  "Buy?" Ives was a little surprised. Would anyone be willing to sell a high-tech ship like a submarine to you?  Sensing the surprise and confusion in Ives's eyes, Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Mr. Ives, there are many seemingly impossible things in this world, but they still happen, and these are called miracles.  So I can tell you clearly that I have prepared enough submarines for our use. Of course, only two submarines should be enough for training. Am I right?" Ives nodded doubtfully:  "Yes, General, if you are ready, my companions and I can help you train submarine sailors." "Well, very good, Mr. Ives, thank you!" Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand.  "You're welcome." Ives quickly stood up and shook hands with him.  Two days later, Zhang Xinghan and Ives took a plane and arrived at Dalian Lushun Military Port. A group of sailor cadets with good performance were gathered together, totaling 500 people, to train as the first batch of submarine cadets.  In the dead of night, Zhang Xinghan turned on his multifunctional watch on a secret coast. At this time, there were many options for naval submarine equipment in the watch's weapon list.  These include various types of submarines from Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. Of course, most of these submarines were developed during World War I. Their performance is lagging behind and they are far from being able to meet future surface combat needs.  After all, these submarines are not real submarines that were later developed specifically for underwater combat.  Rather, it is a ship used to sneak close to surface targets and launch attacks.  After careful consideration, Zhang Xinghan chose a German submarine with a more outstanding surname and a very good reputation and record in history.  The German submarines in the weapons list are now mainly divided into two types. One is the ordinary old V22 submarine. This submarine and the submarines of other countries use stealth to approach surface ships to attack.  But it may be slightly more advanced than other countries in terms of speed, noise, etc.  The second type is the new submarine model xxi. This submarine was the most advanced submarine during World War II. It was the first submarine in the world designed entirely for underwater combat, instead of diving to attack and avoid surface ship attacks in the past.  The submarine is the prototype of modern submarines, and all submarines in later generations are developed based on it.  Its water displacement and submersible displacement are 1,621 tons and 2,100 tons respectively, with an upper draft of 5.3 meters, a total length of 76.7 meters, and a width of 8 meters.  The hull structure is a double-shell structure, and the power system is equipped with 2 manm6v40/46kbb 6-cylinder diesel engines, 4000 horsepower, 2 sswgu365/30 electric motors, 5000 horsepower, and 2 sswgv232/28 static electric motors, 226 horsepower.  And equipped with twin-shaft sculls, its top speed on the water is 15.6 knots (diesel engine) and 17.9 knots (electric motor).  What is more interesting is that because its appearance design is simpler and streamlined, the underwater navigation resistance is much smaller than that on the water surface, so its underwater diving limit speed is higher than the water speed.  They are 17.2 knots (electric motor) and 6.1 knots (static electric motor).  The endurance is also quite amazing, which is 15,500 nautical miles/10 knots (water navigation) and 340 nautical miles/5 knots (submersible).  In terms of weapon equipment, it is equipped with 6 torpedo launch tubes (a total of 23 torpedoes) and 4 20mm anti-aircraft guns.  The crew is 57 people.  Compared with other old U-type submarines, the Xxi-class submarine has improved the old battery capacity of the original U-type submarine, which is about three times that of the viic type, greatly increasing its underwater range and shortening the time it takes to surface.  The xxi-level can take less than 5 hours to recharge the snorkel, and can have the ability to continuously submerge underwater at a speed of 5 knots for 2 to 3 days without recharging.  The Xxi-class is also quieter than the viic-class, making it less detectable when submerged.  The hull of the  The space and equipment inside the xxi-class ship are also larger and better than before. The large hull still has space after being equipped with multiple sets of batteries. At the same time, there are refrigeration equipment on the ship and shower rooms that are not available on other ships.  In addition, the Xxi-class also has a special hydraulic torpedo system, which can shorten the time of assembling torpedoes (18 torpedoes can be launched in 20 minutes), and the torpedo firing rate is also faster.  Level xxi also has a more advanced sonar system.??, it can aim and launch torpedoes without using a periscope to aim, increasing its concealment.  There are a total of 23 torpedoes, or 17 torpedoes and 12 mines in the Xxi-class submarine.  These data were still absolutely ahead of other countries in the world at the end of World War II.  So in 1934 now, it is undoubtedly the most powerful and terrifying underwater overlord.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  It is more powerful than the Zero fighter that was put into service ten years earlier by Zhang Xinghan, because in an air battle, even if the Zero fighter is superior to the Japanese navy and air force, it may be sunk by ground anti-aircraft firepower or enemy air power.  And in the ocean, as long as the submarine is determined to escape, no anti-submarine destroyer can catch up with it.  It is not difficult to imagine that if the Northeast Navy can have about two hundred to three hundred XXX submarines in the future, it will be an extremely powerful underwater force.  It can attack any enemy naval fleet that appears in the Pacific Ocean.  As for attacking Japanese merchant ships, transport fleets, and even small naval fleets, its excellent endurance and submersible capabilities are completely out of the question.  Fortunately, this advanced and epoch-making U-shaped submarine has been lifted and can be mass-produced.  Of course, the cost is also quite high, and the required enemy kill value is almost equivalent to that of a 5,000-ton light cruiser.  But it is indeed worth the money.  Zhang Xinghan gritted his teeth and produced twenty XXX submarines in one go. Coupled with the consumption of naval ships produced some time ago, the enemy kill points earned by Zhang Xinghan from this western expedition were basically exhausted.  The newly produced submarine is floating on the water and anchored, so there is no need to worry about whether it will move on its own or become silent.  These submarines are now waiting for skilled navy sailors to manipulate them.  After securing the submarine, Zhang Xinghan and Ives and others started preparing for training the next day with the first batch of naval cadets.  Of course, all training is conducted in extreme confidentiality.  In order to prevent the leakage of relevant information about the XXX submarine, Ives and the others were monitored and accompanied by Secret Service agents throughout the training process.  The entire submarine training base was also tightly blocked by the Northeast Border Guard Guards.  As for Ives and others, Zhang Xinghan has already approached Alice and signed a twenty-year contract with them. The contract stipulates that they are not allowed to leave the Northeast for twenty years, otherwise they will be charged with desertion.  Of course, Alice will arrange for Ives and his family to come to Northeast China to reunite with them.  Zhang Xinghan also instructed Zang Shiyi to arrange suitable accommodation for them so that they can live in China permanently.  Of course, just in case, Shen Xingye’s Secrecy Bureau will track and monitor them 24 hours a day.  In fact, the chances of Ives and the others leaving without permission are not high. First of all, working in the Northeast Navy, they will receive quite high remuneration and high-quality material enjoyment, which is much better than they did in the UK.  You know, they are all retired soldiers in the UK now, and they are forced to do work every day that they are not familiar with and the soldiers are not willing to do it.  “And there is also the relationship between Alice, the future head of the Max family, and no one is willing to risk offending the Max family and leave without permission.  By comparison, in China, they can return to the jobs they love and are familiar with, be respected by others, and receive huge remuneration. Why wouldn't they do it?  After settling the initial training of the submarine force and other matters, Zhang Xinghan stayed in Dalian for two days and then returned to Jilin City by plane.  As soon as he returned to the headquarters, he saw Shen Xingye coming out from inside.  "Commander, you are back?!" Shen Xingye walked out and saluted, and Jiang Baili and others followed him out.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand casually and asked: "Yizhi, what's the matter? Do you have anything to say to me?" As he said that, he walked inside, Shen Xingye followed, nodded and said: "Master, I have good news for you.  Report, the Secret Bureau has completed the construction of branches in Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan. According to the latest news from our branch agents, we have learned something about the current situation in Japan. "Oh?  ? Did the Japs do anything unusual?" Zhang Xinghan asked curiously.  Everyone has arrived at the headquarters hall. Jiang Baili personally poured a glass of water for Zhang Xinghan and sat down in order.  As soon as Shen Xingye sat down, he replied: "GenAccording to preliminary information, the Japanese are stepping up their efforts to train new troops and expand their military industry. It seems that they are always preparing to avenge their past humiliation.  One piece of news deserves our attention, that is, the Japanese army has seized a batch of our weapons during the battle with our army, such as our army's general-purpose machine guns and individual semi-automatic rifles. They have recently had considerable contact with Western countries.  In addition to the normal import of various strategic materials, it is not ruled out that they may learn some advanced technologies and then imitate our weapons and equipment to improve the combat effectiveness of their army.  "(To be continued.

    "Copy our weapons?" Jiang Baili and others were surprised when they heard this and looked at each other.   Zhang Xinghan smiled lightly when he heard this, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about this, let alone whether the Japanese can successfully imitate it is still unknown. Even if they can successfully develop it, they won't be able to put it into mass production.  Simple. You must know that Japan’s military industry system, especially the individual weapon assembly line production system, has long been established. If you want to change it to produce more advanced weapons and equipment, it is not just as simple as being able to imitate it.  It is necessary to change the existing assembly line production equipment and replace it with brand new equipment. Because the bullet calibers are different, the bullet production line must also be adapted accordingly. This is equivalent to subverting the entire existing army military industry system of the Japanese army. " Zhang Xinghan's words are by no means alarmist or exaggerated.  Fact, because the facts are here, the weapons and equipment equipped by Zhang Xinghan to the troops are very mixed.  There are German-style and American-style equipment. For example, the Garand rifle is American-style equipment, while the mg34 general-purpose machine gun is German-style equipment.  The weapons and equipment of the two countries have completely different bullet calibers. In other words, the Japanese have to mass-produce these two individual weapons.  The caliber of ammunition alone can give their military experts a headache. If two calibers are used for production, the logistical pressure is not something that small Japan with its limited national and financial resources can bear.  "Well, the chief's analysis is reasonable. Even if the Japanese have this idea, it will not happen overnight if they want to actually implement it. We are indeed overly worried." After listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Jiang Baili was deeply moved.  He nodded in agreement.  "However, the Japanese have not taken any action since the Koryo Peninsula was captured by us. It seems that the reason why they endured it is to recuperate and restore their national and military strength. Once they regain their strength, they will definitely be with us again  There is a big battle." Jiang Baili paused and said.  Zhang Xinghan stood up thoughtfully and led everyone straight into the combat conference room next to him and came to the holding map hanging on the wall.  After staring for a moment, Zhang Xinghan murmured to himself: "Now the Japanese are taking the time to recuperate and accumulate strength. We cannot fall behind. Within three years, we will definitely have a battle. However, the Japanese are not the biggest threat to us.  Threat, after all, we are separated by a rough sea. "It's nothing, mustache is my short name for the German head of state."  "Zhang Xinghan said. "Germany?  Shen Xingye said from the side: "The head of state the president is talking about is the former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler?"  " Shen Xingye. "Not long ago, I heard from my subordinates a report on the intelligence matters related to the German Consulate in Sun Island. There was a message from the German Consulate staff about celebrating the coming of their new Prime Minister.  And this new president is Adolf Hitler. He became the Chancellor of Germany in January last year. In the year after he took office, Germany's economy and military strength have improved significantly. Now Germany's President Hindenburg is old and frail.  , Hitler has become a real president.  Officials of the German Consulate in China in Sun Island are celebrating and cheering for this.  "Shen Xingye said. "Oh.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to himself, it seems to be about the same time as I remember. Hitler came to power in 1933 and invaded Poland in 1939. In just six years, Germany went from a country that was defeated in World War I and burdened with huge war reparations.  The armed forces have developed in a straight line and become the most powerful existence in Europe. This has to be said to be a miracle, and it is precisely with these foundations that the war madman Mustache was able to launch the European War, involving Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.  The capital of the military power competition. In less than a year, they destroyed countless countries and occupied almost all of Europe. These are brilliant achievements created by the Germans. Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhang Xinghan and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, at least.  Now it is. But one thing Zhang Xinghan must pay attention to is that the strength of Nazi Germany will directly distract the old Maozi to a certain extent and reduce the national strength that has survived the first five-year plan.  , there is a chance that Lao Maozi, whose military strength has begun to increase significantly, may use large-scale troops in the Far East. Because although Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force looks very powerful on the surface, there is still a huge gap compared with the polar bear, a giant land empire.  . If Lao Maozi really uses all his strength to attack the Far East, it will be difficult for the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to resist, and it is unlikely that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will be annihilated, but it will definitely be a long-lasting battle.In the arduous war of resistance, the Northeast base area that Zhang Xinghan worked so hard to manage will also be destroyed.  Once that happens, the Japanese are likely to take advantage of the situation and launch a full-scale invasion of China, with disastrous consequences.  "By the way, Chief of Staff, Minister Zang, how are your discussions about the reorganization of our Northeast Border Defense Force going?" Before Zhang Xinghan left, he informed Jiang Baili and Zang Shiyi of his intention to reorganize the Northeast Border Defense Force into several group armies, and  Ask them to come up with a suitable adaptation plan as soon as possible.  Zang Shiyi quickly stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to the chief, after discussions between us and the chief of staff, we have discussed a specific adaptation plan. Here is the plan, you can see if it works." With that, Zang Shiyi respectfully handed over a document.  Passed it to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan took the document, opened it and read it over. After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said: "Yes, your adaptation plan is good." Jiang Baili smiled and said: "Commander, this is what we have based on the garrison of the Northeast Frontier Army.  As a result of the discussion, the entire army is divided into four group armies. Regarding military conflicts in a certain area, including daily military training and other matters, they can be discussed and resolved by the group army headquarters. Important matters will be reported to the general headquarters for decision.  In future battles, we only need to issue general orders and instructions to the headquarters of each group army. This greatly simplifies and improves the effectiveness of our army's command system. " "Well, I agree with this plan. Let's put it into effect immediately.  !" Zhang Xinghan nodded and ordered.  "Yes!" Jiang Baili, Zang Shiyi and others bowed their heads in response.  The reorganization order was quickly issued to the first-level commanders of the garrison divisions of the Northeast Border Defense Force.  The specific reorganization content is as follows. The Northeast Frontier Defense Army is organized into four armies, namely the Northeast Army First Army, Second Army, Third Army and Fourth Army.  The four group armies are codenamed Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Wolf. Among them, the First Group Army includes all army units stationed in Pingjin, Baoding and Cangzhou areas.  The Second Army includes all the garrisons on the Korean Peninsula, and the Third Army includes all the garrisons in Suiyuan, Chahar and the three and five northwest provinces.  The Fourth Group Army consists of all armies in the four northeastern provinces, including Rehe, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.  The commander of the First Group Army is Huang Xiansheng, the deputy commander and chief of staff is Liu Jianguo, the commander of the second group army is Wang Yizhe, and the deputy commander and chief of staff is Wang Tiehan.  The commander of the Third Group Army is Liu Guodong, the deputy commander is Shen Ke, and the chief of staff is Zhang Tingshu.  The commander of the Fourth Group Army is Zhao Zhenfan, the deputy commander is Gao Chu, and the chief of staff Du Ting. At the same time, the two still serve as the former commanders of the 208th and 209th divisions.  The total strength of the First Group Army is currently about 130,000 people, the Second Group Army’s regular army (Northeastern Army) is more than 120,000 people, and the total strength of the Goryeo puppet army exceeds 200,000.  The total strength of the Third Group Army is 170,000, and the Fourth Group Army has the largest strength. Together with the more than 90,000 Jinsui Army and Ma Jiajun captured soldiers who are being reorganized and reorganized, the total strength exceeds 200,000.  In addition to the four army armies, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force also has a 3rd Air Force Division, a reading tank armored corps and a naval fleet that is in the training stage.  The original heavy artillery brigades have been evenly distributed to the four group armies and placed under the direct jurisdiction of each group army headquarters.  At this point, not counting the naval fleet that has not yet truly formed combat effectiveness, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army Army and Air Force already have 32 army reorganized divisions, and the designation has been arranged from 200 divisions to 231 divisions, and a tank and armored corps.  and an air force pilot division with a total strength of over 700,000.  Of course, there are nearly 100,000 captive soldiers who are being reorganized and reorganized in an orderly manner.  The thirty-two reorganized divisions are still at the stage of not being fully staffed. If Zhang Xinghan gives each reorganized division the 30,000-strong manpower limit, then the total strength of the infantry alone will exceed one million.  .  The group armies were established very quickly. Zhang Xinghan began to inspect the fertilizer factory and brewery in the next few days, and finally came to Longxing Military Academy, which was in full swing.  Today’s Longxing Military Academy, because the first batch of students graduated early, has already recruited the second batch of students, and has added training classes for the navy and air force.  Compared with the first batch of students, the second batch has more people to sign up, and many people even come from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River and across thousands of mountains and rivers.  Today’s Northeast Longxing is due to the glorious achievements of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the golden signatures of presidents and vice presidents like Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili.  The appeal to ambitious young people with the ambition to serve the country has almost surpassed that of the Nanjing Army Corps.?School (Whampoa Military Academy).  Regarding this point, Chairman Chiang, who is also the principal, has been furious more than once in Nanjing and cursed Niang Xipi.  Today’s military academies, in addition to cultivating high-quality military personnel of various arms for the Northeast Frontier Army, have also become the place where Zhang Xinghan settled warlord leaders such as Sun Dianying, Ma Hongkui, and Ma Bufang.  Sun Dianying, Ma Hongkui and others have now become the nominal honorary instructors of Longxing Military Academy. Of course, they only have a false position and do not have any specific rights. They are not required to teach the students.  “Only occasionally, according to Zhang Xinghan’s instructions, I would invite them to give some speeches and show off.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 390: Ma Bufang was executed

    Although they are the principal and deputy principal of Longxing Military Academy, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili have been busy with the Western Expedition during this period and have not been to the military academy for a long time.  As soon as they heard that the two principals were coming, all the students at the school were so excited that they stopped training and came to watch.  Unable to restrain the excitement and enthusiasm of the students, Zhang Xinghan finally had to instruct Jiang Baili to arrange a meeting. ?????????? It’s for them, the principal and vice-principal, to meet this second batch of students, win over their hearts and improve their reputation.  After the conversation, all the students chanted "Long Live the Principal" and vowed to follow the Principal's slogan to the death, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.  As a modern person, Zhang Xinghan does not advocate any kind of personality worship, but at this time, his heart is simple, his illustrious military exploits and the situation forced him to do something he couldn't help himself.  “Moreover, in such a war-torn era, the trainees, who will serve as the backbone of the future Northeast Frontier Defense Force, have absolute admiration and loyalty for him as the principal, which is also the best way to ensure that the army is under their control in the future.  It is not difficult to see that in the near future, most of the middle and grassroots backbones of the millions of troops will come from Longxing Military Academy, as their principal and commander-in-chief.  Not only the relationship with them as leaders and subordinates, but also the relationship between teachers and students will greatly strengthen their loyalty to their principal.  Maintaining the students’ fanatical admiration and loyalty to themselves will also be the best way to ensure the long-term maintenance of the strong combat power of the Northeast Border Guard in the future.  It can be imagined that when thousands of Longxing officers face desperate situations on any battlefield, they shout long live the principal!  The scene of leading his men in a bloody battle with the enemy until the last soldier is killed will be so tragic and terrifying to the opponent.  Looking at the enthusiastic students who were unwilling to disperse for a long time, Zhang Xinghan picked up the microphone and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.  After they calmed down, Zhang Xinghan said solemnly and solemnly: "All students, we are here today. Let me give you the last word. All officers and soldiers who were born in Longxing, for the sake of the honor of the soldiers, no matter what kind of danger they encounter in the future.  , we must always remember one sentence, I, the man of Longxing, would rather die than surrender, and always remember to keep the last bullet for myself! These four words are the soul of our army in Longxing!” “I would rather die than surrender!”  I would rather die than give in!" Thousands of students chanted without any hesitation, their voices getting louder and louder.  The shock makes people's eardrums hurt.  Zhang Xinghan did not expect that the few words he said on a whim at Longxing Military Academy would become the firm spiritual belief of the Longxing officers who fought bloody battles on major battlefields and would rather die than surrender in the subsequent war years!  "Leave the last bullet for yourself" has been written into the training syllabus and infantry drill of Longxing Military Academy.  After disbanding the students, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili met with Sun Dianying, Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang and others in an office.  These people are all Zhang Xinghan’s defeated generals. When they see Zhang Xinghan, who they haven’t seen for many days, they are inevitably a little reserved and fearful.  He stood aside tremblingly, not daring to look at Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other and smiled, lit a cigarette, waved their hands and said: "Everyone, please sit down, don't be too coy." Sun Dianying and others looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili.  After confirming that he was not joking, he sat down.  "How are you, everyone. How are you doing here recently?" Zhang Xinghan said with a smile while smoking a cigarette.  "Everything is fine, everything is fine. It's just that I'm used to the military life of fighting and killing every day. It's really uncomfortable to idle here every day." Sun Dianying looked at Zhang Xinghan cautiously, and saw that his expression was not abnormal, so he plucked up the courage to say: "  Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the country is in a difficult time now. As long as you give the order, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, I, Sun Mazi, will be willing to carry a brigade of troops to fight for you on the mountain of swords and the sea of ??fire." Zhang Xinghan flicked the ball in his hand after hearing this.  He nodded with a smile and said: "I have no doubt about General Sun's loyalty to the country. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely entrust you with the important task and let General Sun lead the troops in person and go to the battlefield. " Before that, if  General Sun is bored, but he can humbly learn more about modern military knowledge. You must know that future wars will not work without military knowledge. Especially our Northeast Frontier Defense Force will be a high-level modern mechanized force." "Yes.  Yes, I must learn from you with humility!” “You two, General Ma, the recent pacification progress in the three northwest provinces has been going smoothly, and your support is indispensable,” Zhang Xinghan said to Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang with a smile.  Ma Hongkui and Ma Bufang were immediately flattered and said humbly: "That's all because of Commander-in-Chief Zhang's wise policies and your subordinates."I just did my duty.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded, and suddenly the smile on his face disappeared, and he changed the topic: "But General Ma Bufang, how did I hear that you often run out of the military academy to visit the brothels in the county?  As an instructor, this kind of style will lead to bad students and have a bad influence on them. This is unacceptable!  " Sensing the sharp look in Zhang Xinghan's eyes, Ma Bufang was so frightened that her legs went weak, her face turned pale, and she said: "Commander Zhang, you must be mistaken. I, I, have never been to a brothel.  "    "Yeah?  Zhang Xinghan looked at him leisurely and said nothing. Not long after, Ma Bufang lowered his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, please give me a chance to reform. I will never go to that place again."  " After this period of time, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has established a foothold in Qinghai and other places, and has a deeper understanding of Ma Bufang, who is the Qingma King. According to reports from the political affairs officials sent by the local garrison and logistics department, they have received  There have been many reports about various atrocities committed by Qinghai Provincial Chairman Ma Bufang during his administration. In addition to extortionate taxes and squeezing the people, Ma Bufang also has a special habit, which is how shameless this person is. From what he said,  It can be seen that the wives and daughters of his subordinates, the sisters, nieces, brothers and sisters-in-law of his own family cannot escape his clutches. In addition to these, he often goes to the streets.  When he saw a beautiful young woman, he let his minions secretly take her to the mansion for her to have sex with. His level of debauchery was comparable to that of the Hunjun in ancient times, or even worse than that of the Hunjun.  Confidential women, nurses in hospitals, female students in schools, or other people's wives and daughters can't escape his clutches. Sometimes, in order to achieve his lustful goals, he even goes to the extent of killing people. His crimes are so heinous that it's hard to describe.  Knowing this, Zhang Xinghan had already developed the intention to kill and eliminate harm for the people. This was one of the important reasons why he came to Longxing Military Academy this time. However, in order to stabilize the hearts of Ma Jiajun prisoners and some surrendered officers, he could not just kill them.  So Zhang Xinghan ordered people to collect evidence of Ma Bufang's crime in Qinghai and other places, while instructing Shen Xingye to strictly monitor and guard him. Unexpectedly, this old boy refused to change his character and was unwilling to be lonely when he arrived at the military academy. He often went to the county town for prostitution on the pretext of purchasing.  After receiving the information, Zhang Xinghan decided to take action against him immediately, because such a pervert would probably develop into a cancer if he stayed in the military academy.  Don't stay at this military academy for the time being. I will arrange for you to work at Longtan Brewery for a period of time. I hope you can reflect on yourself.  "Zhang Xinghan said with a calm expression. Hearing this, Ma Bufang suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhang Xinghan, and said: "General, please give me another chance. I really don't dare to do it again.  " Jiang Baili quickly smiled and said: "General Ma, don't be nervous. I have no other intention of transferring you to work in the brewery. It is just to take care of our military discipline. After all, this is a military academy. As an instructor, if you go to **  Let the students know that it will have a very bad impact.  We will transfer you back after a period of time. Don’t worry, we will arrange a relatively easy position for you when you arrive at the brewery, such as deputy director.  After saying this, Jiang Baili turned to Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commander, do you think this arrangement is okay?"  " Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Okay, I have this plan. The brewery has just got on the right track, and there are many people vying for the position of deputy director.  " After listening to what the two said, Ma Bufang felt a little relieved and nodded to accept it. "Okay, goodbye everyone. Brother Baili and I still have military affairs to take care of, so we will go ahead.  "Zhang Xinghan threw away the cigarette butt, stood up and said. Sun Dianying and others also stood up quickly, followed them respectfully, and saw them out. A week later, Jilin, General Headquarters. Jiang Baili walked into Zhang Xinghan's office.  , holding a newspaper in his hand, came to Zhang Xinghan's desk and said with a smile: "Commander, please take a look, this is a relevant report arranged by the newspaper office arranged by Minister Zang.  " Zhang Xinghan took the newspaper and saw it clearly stated that Ma Bufang, the deputy director of Longtan Brewery, was discovered by the brewery guards for intending to rape the female brewery worker Wang. They stopped Ma Bufang from trying to snatch the guards' guns and resisted. The guards were  After reading it, he nodded happily and said: "Yes, very good., this can be regarded as repaying justice to the people who were killed and insulted by him. Anyone who commits injustice will be punished by his own death. This person can also become the chairman of a province.  In order to maintain its rule over the northwest, the Nationalist Government headed by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was too confused to entrust such people to important positions.  How can such a person benefit the people of a country?  He is completely a villain who brings harm to one party.  "The president is right. Although Ma Jiajun has ruled the northwest for a long time, appointing such a shameless and despicable person to the high position of provincial chairman is simply to further encourage his arrogance. He should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!" Jiang  Baili nodded in agreement.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 391: Three-Year Plan

    "Forget it, just kill this scumbag and don't mention him again." Zhang Xinghan threw the newspaper aside, raised his head and said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, I came to see you today. I have something to discuss with you.  "Oh? What's the matter?" Jiang Baili asked curiously.  "It's like this. Now after several years of development, our original Shenyang Arsenal and related industries have expanded considerably in scale compared to before. However, because the production lines of Shenyang Arsenal cannot produce the weapons and ammunition we equip, so basically the weapons  They are all used for export to other warlords. Now that the Jinsui Army is at odds with us, and Sun Dianying and other old members of the Northwest Bureau have been wiped out by us, our old weapons have almost no market. So I decided to immediately find ways to improve our arsenal.  Production line equipment and technology. However, the equipment for producing weapons is easy to buy. If we want to complete independent production, our other supporting industrial technology and equipment must also keep up. This will require upgrading and transformation.  "A large-scale project." "What do you mean, commander?" Jiang Baili felt that Zhang Xinghan still had something to say and continued to ask.  "What I mean is, if we just simply improve the development of our military industry, it is impossible to truly make us a powerful country. If we want to become a truly powerful country, we can only complete the industrial revolution and develop from an agricultural country to an industrial country.  Just like the first five-year plan that Lao Maozi just completed, you should know it, right?" Jiang Baili nodded and said: "I know a little about the Russians' first five-year plan, and its background is  Due to the implementation of the New Economic Policy, the Soviet economy basically returned to the pre-war level of 1913. However, the Soviet Union's modern industry was still relatively backward, and steel and electricity production were far from meeting the needs of the national economy.  , large-scale machinery and equipment manufacturing (power station complete equipment, automatic production line equipment) and other latest large industries were almost blank. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the industrial output value of the Soviet Union was less than half of Germany and one-eighth of that of the United States.  There are less than 30,000 tractors, and 99% of farming must be done by animal power and manpower. If the Soviet Union encountered the imperialists at this time, the industrial level and production capacity of the Soviet Union would not be able to defend the Soviet regime more than ten years ago.  As countries recovered from the First World War, the gross industrial production of all major industrial countries reached or exceeded the level before the First World War. In particular, the U.S. economy experienced unprecedented prosperity. Some European and American economists claimed that capitalism had eradicated poverty and achieved unprecedented results.  The prosperity made them confident and continued to block the Soviet economy. The Soviet Union, as the only socialist country in the world, became a red island. The more serious problem was that the Soviet Union lacked engineering and technical personnel and scientific research personnel, and the quality of its workers was not high.  In 1927, 50% of the Soviet Union was illiterate. The national defense strength was still relatively weak. The Red Army’s weaponry and equipment modernization and military command capabilities and the coordination of various arms were insufficient to defend the socialist Soviet Union.  If agriculture is collectivized, the Soviet Union’s national economy will not be able to grow. Especially if the heavy industry and defense industry fall behind, the Soviet Union will inevitably be defeated by the imperialist war of aggression. “General, do you mean that we should also follow the example of the Soviet Union in pursuing industrial development?”  "Yes, if we want to truly break away from being an agriculturally backward country and become a truly advanced industrial country, we must carry out comprehensive industrialization. It will be piloted in the Northeast first, and then gradually promoted throughout the country. As long as the north develops  , the future development of the South will be simple." Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously.  "But, Mr. Sir, there was a historical opportunity for the industrialization of the Soviet Union. In October 1929, a serious economic crisis broke out in the capitalist world. It quickly spread from the United States to the world, attacking almost all capitalist countries.  The great crisis brought huge disasters to the capitalist world, but it provided a favorable opportunity for the development of Soviet industrialization. The Soviet Union took advantage of the West's urgent need to export capital and technology to foreign countries and to find a way out of the crisis, and introduced a large number of Western countries.  Advanced technology, technical personnel and funds established a large number of key enterprises in various major industrial sectors, bringing the Soviet Union's socialist industrialization to a new stage. At this time, European and American capital, technology and talents began to transfer to the Soviet Union to find a way out.  The United States, the world's largest immigrant country, also showed a tendency to emigrate abroad for the first time. 100,000 American skilled workers and engineers applied to immigrate to the Soviet Union. The Magnitogorsk Steel Plant in the Soviet Union was the largest in the world at that time.  Steel FederationDesigned as a model for the U.S. Steel Corporation's Gerry Works.  The largest Dnieper River hydropower station in the Soviet Union was built in 1933 by introducing American technical equipment and employing American technical experts.  The famous Gorky Automobile Plant was a new plant built with the aid of the American Ford Motor Company in the early 1930s.  The Stalingrad Tractor Factory was built entirely in the United States and then dismantled and shipped to the Soviet Union. The equipment of the Kharkiv Tractor Factory was made in Germany and the United States, and an American served as the chief engineer of the construction.  In terms of aircraft and engine production, the United States supplied Soviet aircraft or aircraft accessories and provided technical assistance.  In 1931, the machinery and equipment purchased by the Soviet Union accounted for about 1/3 of the world's total machinery and equipment exports, and in 1932 it increased by about 50%.  If we want to develop, technology and industrial equipment from European and American countries are indispensable.  "Jiang Baili said with some worry: "We just had a conflict with the Soviet army over the Eastern Railway, and the relationship has deteriorated. It is no longer possible to communicate through the Soviet Union and Europe.  "And by sea and land, there is the threat of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet on the sea. Without a strong enough navy, even if foreigners dare to do business with us, they will not be able to get past Little Japan.  Ms. Alice’s family power can help us for a limited time. It is impossible to transport all the technology and equipment for industrialization in the Northeast region under the banner of the British Empire.  Sooner or later the Japanese will discover you.  " "That's why I can't wait to form our submarine force. Compared with the Navy's surface ship force, the submarine force requires a much smaller scale and takes much less time to form an army.  After all, ten submarines can go to sea to fight, but ten warships cannot.  In order for the surface fleet to form combat effectiveness, it must be equipped with a variety of ships that are powerful enough to rely on each other and complement each other.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Oh, that's it. The chief has foresight and foresight, and Baili admires it.  "Jiang Baili suddenly realized. "Then Chief, when will our plan be implemented?  "Jiang Baili asked again. "The sooner, the better. Initially, I plan to set the period for three years, and strive to complete the industrial development in the three northeastern provinces within three years, so as to form our own complete industrialization industry and the simultaneous development of the military industry.  Our submarine force can go to sea for at most one year, so within this year, we can rely on Alice's Marx family for cover.  At the beginning of this three-year plan, we should first do a good job in publicity and publicity. Only by gaining the unanimous support and support of 30 million people outside the customs can we succeed.  "Otherwise, the three-year plan will be empty talk.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Yeah.  "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "For this public opinion propaganda, I suggest that we directly establish our own newspaper agency, just like the Central News Agency of the Nanjing National Government. Only by mastering our own public opinion agency can we better control the direction and direction of public opinion.  develop.  " "Yes, I also have this idea. Let's go to Minister Zang and discuss with him. On the one hand, we will set up our own newspaper organization. On the other hand, we will prepare to mobilize all the folks in the Northeast to work with us as one.  Go all out to develop the first three-year plan and work hard to transform our Northeast region from an agricultural country to an industrial country!  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Okay, I'll do it right away.  "Jiang Baili immediately took the order and left. ……………… Yushu County, the courtyard of the county magistrate's house. A war horse galloped from a distance, and outside the courtyard, the young strong man on the horse suddenly choked  Holding the reins, the horse was in pain, and immediately neighed and raised its front hooves. It stopped its forward motion and spun around twice. The strong man had already turned over and dismounted. The security team guarding outside the compound had already stepped forward to help.  He led the horse and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master, are you back?  !  " "Where is my father?  "Qingzhuang, who is called the eldest young master, asked. "The master is working in the study.  "The security guard replied. The strong man threw the horse's reins to the guard and ran straight inside. When he arrived in front of the study, the strong man's impatient voice rang out: "Dad, dad, big news!  " With that said, he rushed into the study. In the study, Zhang Shi, the magistrate of Yushu County, was sitting behind the table with a pair of reading glasses, reviewing documents and working. He was startled when his son suddenly broke in and saw  After Qing came, he couldn't help but scolded: "Kuan'er, why are you so irritable?  You are now a captain, you have to pay attention to your image, you know?  "The person who came was none other than Zhang Shi's son, Zhang Kuan, the captain of the Yushu County Security Team. He had participated in the bandit suppression operation to rescue Alice and Irene. Zhang Kuan didn't care, walked to Zhang Shi, and said, "Dad  ,Just now IComing back from the county government, do you know what order Commander-in-Chief Zhang just gave you?  "    "oh?  Commander-in-Chief Zhang has an order?  Zhang Shi stood up in surprise when he heard this and said: "Where is it? Did you bring it?"  Show me quickly.  " Zhang Kuan took out a telegram from his arms and handed it to his father. After Zhang Shi read it in a hurry, he immediately raised his head and said to Zhang Shi: "Quick, Kuan'er, accompany me to the county government and summon the mayors of each town.  Have a meeting, hurry up!  "(To be continued.

    Twenty minutes later, Zhang Shi took Zhang Kuan back to the county government office and immediately instructed Zhang Kuan to send people to notify the mayors of each town to come to the county for a meeting.  The notice also began to order people to send the telegram from the headquarters for printing to prepare for subsequent distribution and publicity.  Everything was busy, although Zhang Shi couldn't understand the meaning of the first three-year plan written in the telegram.  But Zhang Shi could understand the urgent orders to develop industry and improve the economy, calling on the people of the county to actively respond and participate.  At the same time, almost the same scene happened in Shenmu County at almost the same time. County Magistrate Wang Jun also received an urgent telegram from Jilin.  He also immediately ordered his men to start making preparations.  In just one week, Zhang Xinghan’s notice on the first three-year plan basically spread throughout the three northeastern provinces.  The vast majority of the people have learned the news, in order to let the people know what the three-year plan is.  Organized by Zang Shiyi, the Security Bureau and the Logistics Department jointly dispatched batches of personnel to visit counties and towns to provide detailed explanations and introductions to the people.  In fact, even if they don’t explain it, the people will respond positively once they hear that Commander-in-Chief Zhang personally gave the order.  Of course, they don’t know what to do, and just responding positively is not enough.  With the explanations from the staff of the Security Bureau and the Logistics Department, most of the people understood the general meaning of the matter, and expressed their firm support and cooperation with the calls of the local governments.  At the same time, after more than a week of preparations, the first official newspaper belonging to the Northeast Border Guard, the Northeast Times, was officially established.  The Northeast Times is headquartered in Jilin. There is only one headquarters when it was first established. However, Zang Shiyi’s plan for them in the future is to establish branches in all major cities in the Northeast within one year.  In order to support the development of Northeast Times, Zhang Xinghan specially spent 200,000 yuan as the starting capital for development from the already quite tight finances.  After completing some of his own preparations, Zhang Xinghan went to Alice for help. He first solved some equipment problems for industrial development, such as mining equipment for iron ore and coal mines.  Nowadays, the territory of the Northeast Border Guard has expanded, and there are more mineable coal resources and steel resources.  To carry out industrial revolution, these resources must be fully utilized.  Ultimately, Zhang Xinghan’s goal also includes exploiting the Daqing Oilfield, which is China’s largest oilfield with reserves of 5.67 billion tons.  Although it cannot be compared with the major oil-producing countries in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq in later generations, in China and the Far East, the Daqing Oilfield is a very important oil mining area.  Of course, these must be done step by step and cannot be rushed.  Alice naturally agreed, and Zhang Xinghan agreed to buy the equipment he needed at the selling price. Therefore, Alice quickly sent a message back to China and arranged for someone to handle the list of the first batch of equipment Zhang Xinghan needed.  After solving the first batch of equipment problems, Zhang Xinghan began to prepare for the deployment of strategic air forces and other matters.  In the Jilin headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were discussing important matters around the map.  Pointing to Japan on the map, Zhang Xinghan said: "Chief of Staff, look at it, if our strategic bombers are deployed in South Korea, especially Busan, then the effective strike range of our air force will be able to cover the entire territory of Japan. I  It has been said that our industrial development is lagging behind the Japanese. If we want to catch up with them, we must not only accelerate our own development, but also do everything possible to hinder the development of Japan's domestic industry. Strategic bombing is the best way.  Coupled with the blockade of our submarine force at sea, although it cannot completely paralyze the Japanese industrial development, it can also play a certain retarding role. The most important thing is that once their homeland is constantly attacked by air attacks and the sea surface is frequently attacked, it will inevitably stimulate Japan.  The development of the people's military industry is fully tilted towards the navy and air force. With a sense of crisis, the Japanese's first thought will no longer be to invade our country, but how to protect themselves and ensure that their homeland is protected from our strategic bombing and naval attack and blockade."  Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Everything you said makes sense, sir. However, the first thing is that the maximum range of our He111 bombers currently in service is only 1,700 kilometers, and the straight-line flight distance from Busan to Tokyo is close to 900 kilometers. Not counting combat time.  , has far exceeded the maximum round-trip distance of our bombers. Moreover, an air attack on the Japanese mainland will inevitably be attacked by Japan’s powerful anti-aircraft firepower, and the cost will definitely be quite high.” “Strictly speaking, the He111 bomber is just a bomb.  Medium, short and medium rangeA bomber is not a strategic bomber. The strategic bomber I am talking about is not it, but someone else.  "Zhang Xinghan said calmly. "Is there someone else?  "Jiang Baili said curiously: "I wonder what kind of bomber it is?  " "A flying fortress bomber with a range of nearly three thousand kilometers.  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile. The Flying Fortress bomber Zhang Xinghan mentioned was the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber he checked on his watch last night and confirmed his selection. This is the main bomber used by the US military in the early and middle stages of World War II.  , and was later replaced by the famous B-29 Super Flying Fortress bomber. The specific data of the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber are as follows: Members: 10 people (5 gunners) Weapons: 13 x 12.7mm Bomb load: 8 tons, long.  : 22.66 m, height: 5.82 m, wingspan: 31.65 m, total weight: 25 tons, engine: 4  Although its overall performance is not as good as the later Super Flying Fortress B-29 fighter, it is also an extremely excellent strategic bomber at this time, especially the eight-ton bomb load, which is only one less than the B29.  The b-17 can throw various aerial bombs weighing more than 15,000 kilograms. If your own air force can equip a hundred such bombers, you can imagine the destructive power it has. This B-17 is similar to the Zero fighter.  The -17 Flying Fortress was an aircraft that shined during World War II. Its real mature production should have been in the late 1930s and early 1940s. If it had been released earlier, its excellent performance would have been unparalleled among bombers.  As for the B-29 Super Flying Fortress bomber, it is not that it is not available in the watch, but it has not been unlocked. Moreover, the cost is quite expensive. According to the current situation, the B-17 bomber is completely sufficient, so Zhang Xinghan is not in a hurry to equip it.  -29, an epoch-making super bomber, to prevent it from falling into the hands of other countries in the event of an accident. In addition, another reason why Zhang Xinghan chose the B-17 bomber is that the aircraft currently equipped by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Air Force.  The Zero fighter can completely keep up with the B-17 bomber in terms of range. The Zero's maximum range is 3,000 kilometers, so it can provide effective escort for the B-17 Flying Fortress. I believe that as long as there is a Zero fighter.  During the full-range escort and air attack on the Japanese mainland, no Japanese aircraft will be able to break through the obstruction of the Zero and pose a threat to the B17 bomber group. What they need to deal with is the intensive Japanese air defense fire. This is true.  It can be avoided by increasing the flight altitude. Although the effect of high-altitude bombing is not good, it is better than lowering the flight altitude and being shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire. "A bomber with a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers?  "Jiang Baili was startled again and looked at Zhang Xinghan with a face full of disbelief. "Don't think too much, didn't I go to see Alice yesterday?  This aircraft was produced by the Americans and was modeled as the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. I thought we needed it, so I asked Alice to order fifty of them for us, and they are expected to arrive soon.  "Zhang Xinghan made nonsense. Anyway, it is impossible for Jiang Baili to find out or check the specific information of the B-17 bomber. Because the Americans are still in the preliminary development stage, and the B-17 is still on the design drawings, maybe even the Americans themselves  No one knew it was called B-17. Two months later, the first batch of mining equipment ordered by Zhang Xinghan arrived and was put into use in coal mines in Benxi and other places. Local people mobilized one after another under the call of local government departments at all levels.  Zhang Xinghan also produced the first batch of fifty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers at Pyongyang Airport and delivered them to the 3rd Air Force Division for training.  Later, fifty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers and one hundred Zero fighter jets were stationed at the repaired and expanded Busan Military Airport to begin preparations for the final strategic air attack on the Japanese mainland. In the past three months,  The expansion of mines in various places has also achieved considerable results. Among them, the Benxi Coal Mine and Fushun Coal Mine, which were damaged by the war, have successfully resumed full production. There are already considerable coal mines and iron miners in the Northeast, including Zhang Xinghan.  It has been operating in Huolinhe Coal Mine for a long time, so there is no shortage of skilled coal miners and technicians. They are all veteran workers who were transferred directly from Huolinhe Coal Mine. More than 10,000 naval officers and soldiers have been trained.  The navy officers and soldiers have basically been able to drive warships for routine patrol and defense in the offshore area of ????the Bohai Bay.sp; Of course, the coastal waters of Bohai Bay are very safe because there are no Japanese surface ships anymore due to the deterrence of the Northeast Border Guard Air Force.  The training of the first batch of 500 submarine force officers and soldiers is also proceeding like fire. In the past three months, the submarine trainees have completed theoretical lectures, and then they need practical exercises.  ps: Today’s five updates make up for yesterday’s lack of updates. I also want to thank Mr. Wang Arthur for another generous reward. I also want to thank all those who voted for the monthly votes and gave rewards for their support. Thank you Qiufeng, because I have to go again tomorrow.  Driving practice in the county, so there will only be two chapters of 6,000 words updated, hereby give you a notice.  Next month’s update volume will be around 200,000 words, with a minimum of 6,000 words per day, which is relatively less than this month.  After all, you have to take the driving license test as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer you delay, the more money you spend and the more delays you have. However, normal updates will not be missed, so you can read with confidence.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 393: Air Raid on Tokyo

    In the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, it was the first day of June.  .????? Pusan ??Air Force Base of the Second Group Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  One hundred Zero fighter jets and fifty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were all in place. Thousands of pilots were ready to go, standing in front of their respective fighters as if waiting for something.  In the open space in front of the airport barracks, 2nd Army Commander Wang Yizhe and Deputy Commander Wang Tiehan stood together with a group of subordinates, looking nervously at the distant sky from time to time.  "Commander, is it time for the chief executive to arrive?" Wang Tiehan said to his old boss Wang Yizhe beside him.  Wang Yizhe looked at the sky and nodded gently: "It's almost there, I guess it won't be long." As soon as Wang Yizhe finished speaking, there was a faint roar of an engine in the sky.  Wang Yizhe, Wang Tiehan and others immediately raised their telescopes and looked, and saw some small black spots approaching quickly in the distant sky.  As time went by, through the telescope, they clearly saw the fleet of aircraft flying rapidly in the sky.  In the sky, a C-47 transport plane, escorted by four BF-109 fighter jets, was flying towards the Busan Airport.  A few minutes later, the C-47 landed smoothly on the runway and taxied along the runway to an apron.  Wang Yizhe, Wang Tiehan and other subordinates immediately walked quickly towards the apron.  As soon as the plane came to a halt, the cabin door suddenly opened, and the first thing that came out was a group of well-armed and strong guards.  Twelve guards equipped with MP38 submachine guns were lined up on both sides of the cabin.  After Wang Yizhe, Wang Tiehan and others arrived, Zhang Xinghan walked out surrounded by Guo Zhong and Jiang Baili.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan appeared, more than a thousand pilots who had been waiting not far away stood up and stared at him, their eyes full of admiration and kindness.  Wang Yizhe, Wang Tiehan and others also immediately stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "I respectfully welcome the president and counselors to you!" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and saluted them at the same time as Jiang Baili.  "General seat, attendants, the 3rd Pilot Division Strategic Bombing Group has been prepared. Please check it out!" Wang Yizhe stepped forward and said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly and walked towards the pilots under the support of everyone.  "Salute!" Led by Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the pilot division, and Zhang Xinghua, commander of the First Flight Regiment, who personally led the team, more than a thousand pilots and soldiers stood up to salute.  Zhang Xinghan came among them and glanced back and forth between them with a serious look and a solemn expression.  "Brothers, today you are going to carry out an unprecedented mission, which is to bomb the Japanese capital Tokyo. Although we had an operation to bomb the Japanese mainland last year, this time, the dangers and difficulties you face will be  Far more than the last time. Because the target of your bombing is Tokyo, the Japanese capital, where the air defense force will be stronger and denser. Moreover, after being attacked by us last time, the Japanese must be prepared. "  Suddenly, Zhang Xinghan said louder and more solemnly: "However, this is not an insurmountable difficulty for us [***] people. I believe in my subordinates. I believe that you will be able to fulfill your mission and successfully complete this mission."  Air raids and bombings, triumphant return! " "Now, let's ask our chief of staff to give everyone his last speech before departure." Zhang Xinghan took a step back.  Jiang Baili nodded and took a step forward, scanning a thousand young faces, and said loudly and solemnly: "Soldiers, you are ordered to carry out the air raid on Tokyo this time. It is related to the most important strategic plan of our army, so  This bombing is very important. As the commander-in-chief also said just now, it is extremely dangerous, but what I want to tell you is that your air raid will represent the days when enemy planes will wreak havoc in our Chinese airspace.  Gone forever, our Chinese Air Force has the ability to attack any enemy who dares to invade our airspace and territory. To borrow an ancient saying, those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!  Brothers Pao Ze, I'm here to see you off. I hope you can successfully complete this strategic bombing mission that will go down in history and return safely!" "Okay, let's go!" "Yes!"  The pilots responded in unison, and immediately turned around and started boarding the plane.  As the Zero fighter jets took off first, the roar of engines on the airport began to resound.  Watching the fighter planes taking off one after another, Zhang Xinghan and others felt increasingly heavy. No one knew how many of these good Chinese men would come back alive.  ? ?The last B-17 Flying Fortress bomber took off smoothly, and a hundred Zero fighter jets quickly formed a flight formation with them, protecting them in the middle, and flew towards the distance as if blocking the sky and the sun.  Looking at the mixed aircraft group gradually disappearing from the field of vision, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others silently saluted in unison.  Tokyo, formerly known as Edo in ancient times, has been the capital of Japan since the Meiji Restoration. It is located in the eastern part of Honshu Island, Japan, at the southern end of the Kanto Plain.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan chose Tokyo as the target for his first air raid is because after years of development, it has become a political, cultural, economic, educational, transportation center and an important industrial base.  It is also the largest city in Japan with a large population.  The most important point is that this is the capital of Japan. Their emperor and palace are here. This is the most sacred place in the hearts of all Japanese.  It is not difficult to imagine that once Tokyo is attacked by the Chinese Air Force, what kind of shock and panic will be caused to the whole country of Japan.  The straight-line flight distance between Busan and Tokyo is about 950 kilometers.  If we use the Zero fighter's top speed, we can arrive in two hours at most.  But in order to take care of the fully loaded ammunition B-17 Flying Fortress and maintain enough fuel to expand the effective airborne time as much as possible, the pilot flew at a speed slightly higher than the cruising speed.  After more than three hours of flight, we finally entered the airspace near Tokyo.  Leading the front of the fleet was Deputy Division Commander Liu Cuigang. He said through the wireless communication device: "Attention all units, we have entered the target airspace, and all fighter planes are ready to fight. This bombing does not distinguish specific targets. It only needs to target all aircraft above Tokyo City."  After throwing out the aerial bombs, I will assign the combat tasks. The first, second and third squadrons of B-17 bombers are responsible for dropping bombs, and the first to sixth squadrons of fighter jets are responsible for covering, mainly to prevent the enemy from taking off.  Once the aircraft is discovered, fire it immediately and be sure to shoot it down to ensure the safety of our bomber group!" "The first squadron has received it, it's over." "The second squadron has received it, it's over." "It's over.  Arrived, over." The commanders of each fighter and bomber squadron responded respectively.  The two fighter squadrons quickly expanded the escort range, and other fighter planes also dispersed.  The pilots of fifty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers are also ready to drop bombs.  At this moment, they are still at an altitude of 10,000 meters. If a bomb is dropped at such an altitude, using the free-fall bomb delivery method of the B-17 bomber, the aerial bomb may be deflected several kilometers away.  So under the cover of the fighter group, they began to rapidly decrease their flight altitude.  However, when they barely descended to an altitude of 6,000 meters, an air defense siren finally sounded in the city of Tokyo below.  In fact, fortunately, Japan has not yet developed an air defense radar at this time. Otherwise, their high-altitude pilots may be discovered as soon as they enter Japanese airspace or even over the sea, thus exposing their whereabouts.  The shrill air-raid sirens resounded throughout Tokyo, and Tokyo, which had been quiet a moment ago, suddenly boiled like boiling water.  Many Japanese people thought that the air defense warning was an air defense exercise conducted by the army and did not pay too much attention to it.  The most shocked and panicked people were the Japanese air defense troops and the Royal Palace.  After the air defense force discovered the uninvited guest over Tokyo, they sounded the air defense siren and urgently reported the news to the Ministry of Defense via phone.  The Japanese military officers at the Ministry of Defense were surprised and quickly called Prime Minister Saito Minoru to report.  However, at this moment, the Northeast Air Force in the sky, following Zhang Xinghua’s order, fifty B-17s began to drop bombs one after another.  Heavy aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms roared down from thousands of meters away with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.  The Japanese’s anti-aircraft firepower was in full swing, but the Japanese did not have such an anti-aircraft weapon as the 88mm anti-aircraft gun.  Its 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun has very poor power and accuracy at an altitude of five thousand meters.  As for the anti-aircraft machine gun, it has almost become a decoration.  Zhang Xinghua personally piloted a B-17 bomber while dodging Japan's not-so-intense anti-aircraft fire while dropping bombs.  As heavy aerial bombs fell one after another, violent explosions began to occur in the city of Tokyo.  Before departure, Zhang Xinghan was fully prepared for the air attack on Tokyo City. In view of the characteristics of Japanese housing buildings, which are mostly wooden structures, almost all the aerial bombs equipped for B17s were gasoline-burning bombs. ?To ensure that the bombing effect on Tokyo City can be maximized.  In the violent explosion, clouds of flames shot into the sky, and Japanese buildings with wooden structures burst into flames.  Countless Japanese civilians howled and screamed in the flames.  In the Prime Minister's Office, Saito Minoru was shocked by the violent explosion outside just after receiving the call.  "Nani? What is going on? What do our air defense forces and naval fleets do? Why were they not discovered in advance?" Saito Minoru was shocked and yelled into the phone.  Immediately, he suddenly thought of an extremely important thing, and immediately shouted into the phone: "Quick, notify His Majesty the Emperor to move into the air defense bunker immediately, quick!" A "Hai" came quickly from the other end of the phone.  After hanging up the phone, several guards from the Prime Minister's Office rushed in. They looked anxious and said to Saito Minoru: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please move quickly, it is not safe here!" Saito Minoru nodded and looked at their guards.  He fled the residence in a panic.  At the same time, dozens of carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese joint naval fleet parked in Tokyo Bay quickly took off.  The No. 1 Fighter Squadron led by Liu Cuigang immediately attacked, and the two sides quickly engaged in a fierce air battle over Tokyo Bay.  The excellent performance of the Zero fighter was once again fully demonstrated. In less than ten minutes, more than twenty Japanese carrier-based aircraft were shot down one by one by the Northeast Air Force's Zero fighter, which had superior numbers and performance.  .  "Captain, below is the Japanese navy ship, requesting attack!" After the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group was eliminated, a squadron leader asked excitedly for instructions.  Liu Cuigang flew the fighter plane and observed the situation below, and said thoughtfully: "I agree, launch an attack immediately and drop all the aerial bombs we carry." "Yes!" The first squadron leader responded excitedly, and immediately led his subordinates  They rushed towards the Japanese naval combined fleet anchored in Tokyo Bay.  Seeing that their own planes were shot down one by one or exploded in the air, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet were already in a panic.  When the pilots of the First Fighter Squadron drove more than twenty Zero fighters swooping in like flying eagles.  The Japanese suddenly panicked, and the anti-aircraft weapons on some ships opened fire one after another. The dense anti-aircraft firepower was as dazzling as chains of fire in the sky.  “ However, the Zero fighter pilots were experienced and skilled in flying, and they all flew fighter planes to avoid them.  And began to fight back, the Zero fighter's 20mm cannon opened fire one after another.  The Japanese navy ships were beaten with fire, and many naval air defense personnel fell into a pool of blood screaming.  Some people were even beaten into two pieces by powerful machine gun shells.  Due to the limitation of the bomb capacity of the Zero fighter, the first squadron leader and his men chose a seemingly larger Japanese ship as the attack target.  More than twenty Zero fighters threw all the two 50-kilogram small aerial bombs they carried onto the larger Japanese ship.  One or two 50-kilogram aerial bombs may not matter at all to this tens of thousands of tons of giants.  But more than twenty aerial bombs, with a total weight of more than 1,000 kilograms, all fell on this large warship.  That power is extraordinary.  "Boom, boom, boom" Violent explosions sounded one after another on this large Japanese warship, and dazzling flames shot into the sky.  Soon, there was an explosion on the warship. It turned out that one of their ammunition depots was hit and an explosion occurred.  In the violent explosion, the deck was instantly destroyed, and several forts were blown to pieces.  The huge warship exploded violently from the middle, and billowing smoke and fire shot straight into the sky.  After completing the attack, the pilots of the No. 1 Squadron immediately flew their fighter planes upward toward Tokyo City.  At the same time, the bomber group's bombing of Tokyo City has also ended. The other five fighter squadrons have successively shot down no less than fifty Japanese fighter jets that were forced to take off in an attempt to intercept them.  Liu Cuigang saw the 1st Squadron returning and immediately ordered: "Attention all units, all personnel will start returning immediately. The 2nd and 3rd Fighter Squadrons are behind to provide cover. Hurry!" After saying this, he took the lead in evacuating in a fighter plane.  Other pilots also followed suit and evacuated.  At this time, the city of Tokyo below was filled with black smoke, flames soaring into the sky, the sirens of air raid sirens and fire trucks, and the sounds of explosions from time to time.  Tokyo City is like a doomsday city where the world is coming.It has been at ease for who knows how many years, and now it is suffering from the brilliance of war.  Countless Japanese desperately cried for help and screamed in the fire and smoke.  The Japanese Imperial Palace was also hit by two aerial bombs. At this time, a raging fire broke out. Countless Japanese garrison soldiers and palace guards were rushing to put out the fire and save people.  In fact, if the Japanese anti-aircraft fire is not taken into account, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's air force can lower the altitude of the flying signal, which will be able to pour all the aerial bombs onto the Japanese Imperial Palace.  Of course, this premise is that the pilot must know the specific location of the Japanese Imperial Palace.  “Obviously, China’s current secret service agencies, whether it is the Military Command, the Central Command, or the Secret Bureau of the Northeast Border Guard, have failed to obtain this crucial intelligence.  Because it is almost an impossible task to sneak into Japan.  Therefore, due to various reasons, air raids and bombings on Japan can only be indiscriminate and large-scale bombing. If you want to achieve extremely precise bombing, no country currently has this capability.  However, in this battle, Zhang Xinghan's strategic goal has been achieved, and he does not care how much casualties and losses the air raid will cause the Japanese.  The most important thing is the psychological shadow and deterrence caused to the Japanese, which will be immeasurable.  At Busan Airport, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others had lunch and were waiting at the airport.  It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had begun to move westward and was getting ready to go down the mountain, and the sunlight began to gradually dim.  As the sun set, the shadows of Zhang Xinghan and the others were stretched so long.  The ground staff and security officers at all airports are looking at the eastern sky eagerly.  Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and smoked silently. At this moment, he was quite nervous.  He has been mentally prepared for the loss of fighter planes and pilots, but he does not want any planes to fall on Japanese soil, because it is likely to fall into the hands of the Japanese, allowing them to develop more advanced aircraft in advance.  Comparatively, the Zero fighter is originally a Japanese fighter. Once they capture it, the consequences will be unimaginable.  There is also the B17. This bomber is now an extremely advanced bomber. Once it falls into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese bomber development level will have to be improved for at least ten years.  Bombers have always been a weakness of the Japanese. They have never had a bomber as outstanding as the Zero fighter, and their performance was mediocre throughout World War II.  Suddenly, Jiang Baili pointed to the sky in front of him in surprise and said: "Commander, brother Dingfang, look, it's our plane, they are back." After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yizhe quickly raised their heads and raised their telescopes.  The cigarettes were all thrown away.  Through the telescope, we can clearly see that the dark aircraft flying towards this direction are covering the sky and the sun.  ps: Unfortunately, it rained and there was a power outage in my hometown. Fortunately, my notebook can still support me to finish writing 5,000 words, two pages and one post. Don’t blame me!  (To be continued.

    Amidst the deafening roar of engines, B-17 and Zero fighter jets landed on the airport one after another.  When all the fighters have landed and parked on the apron, the pilots opened the doors and walked out.  The ground crew officers and soldiers present immediately cheered and rushed toward them. For a moment, the airport was filled with thunderous cheers that shook the sky.  Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe and others were also excited and beaming with joy.  After a long time, Zhang Xinghua and Liu Cuigang walked over hand in hand. A large number of pilots ended their celebrations and cheers with their ground crew colleagues, took off their flight helmets and followed them.  When they arrived, thousands of pilots and ground crews, led by Liu Cuigang, Zhang Xinghua and others, stood up to salute.  "Report, the chief, attendants, humble officers, etc. have fulfilled their mission and successfully carried out the air raid on Tokyo. In this battle, two bombers of our 3rd Pilot Division were damaged, but not seriously. They all returned successfully, and none of the crew members were injured.  Casualties." Liu Cuigang said loudly.  "Very good, just come back safely." Zhang Xinghan nodded in affirmation.  "By the way, Chief, during the bombing, our No. 1 Fighter Squadron accidentally sank a large warship anchored in Tokyo Bay." Liu Cuigang suddenly remembered and added.  "Oh? Really? A large warship?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised and looked at Jiang Baili and others.  "Yes, that is a large warship at least several hundred meters long." A squadron leader behind Liu Cuigang added seriously.  "Hundreds of meters long?" Jiang Baili said in surprise: "That may be either the Japanese battleship or their aircraft carrier. Are you sure it was sunk?" "Well, all the aerial bombs of our No. 1 Fighter Squadron hit.  , I personally saw a violent explosion on that warship, maybe the magazine was detonated by us," the squadron leader nodded.  "Great, this is an additional gain. It is not difficult to imagine that if the Japanese suffer such a heavy blow, the people's trust in the cabinet government will inevitably drop greatly. It also lets the Japanese know that their land is not indestructible or invulnerable!"  Jiang Baili said extremely excitedly.  "Okay, this time everyone has completed the task outstandingly. I have decided to give you all three days of vacation, and in addition, you will be rewarded by the Army Headquarters!" Zhang Xinghan said loudly with a smile.  "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Everyone was overjoyed and shouted loudly and cheerily.  "Xinghua, come here." Zhang Xinghan waved to Zhang Xinghua.  Zhang Xinghua, who was having a carnival with his subordinates, quickly ran over and said, "Brother, call me." "Come back to Jilin with me during the holiday. My sister-in-law needs you to spend more time with her now," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, I'll go and talk to the deputy division commander right away, brother, when are you leaving?" Zhang Xinghua said.  "We have plenty of time to finish the celebration banquet with everyone before leaving," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Okay, I'll go first." After seeing Zhang Xinghan nod, Zhang Xinghua turned around and ran towards the cheering subordinates.  That night, a group of senior officers of the Second Army accompanied Zhang Xinghan to hold a celebration banquet for the pilots who participated in the air raid on Tokyo.  Because the pilots were all too enthusiastic, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others drank a lot of wine. It was not until the next morning that they sobered up a little, got on the plane and started to return to Northeast China.  The members of the flying task force stayed in Busan, began to rest and prepare for the next air raid.  This time the air raid on Tokyo was just a trial bombing, it was more of a strategic deterrent and retaliatory air strike. Only future bombings will be real. In order to ensure the strategic effect, the scale must be larger than this time.  But it must be fully prepared before it can be implemented. After all, the Japanese will definitely become more cautious after this attack.  ……………………… Zhang Xinghan and his officers spent a night cheering for victory in a happy mood.  In the city of Tokyo, the fires caused by the explosion had not been completely extinguished until dawn. In some places, they were getting more serious.  In the palace, in a secret underground air-raid bunker, Emperor Hirohito, wearing pajamas, was sitting at a simple conference table with a livid face. Behind him stood Queen Xiangjun, who was also slightly disheveled and looked panicked.  From the clothes of the two of them, it is easy to see how hastily and embarrassed they were when they escaped into the air defense bunker under the protection of the guards.  In fact, when the city of Tokyo was suddenly bombed by air raids, Emperor Hirohito and his empress were engaged in a great human male and female sport.  At this time, Emperor Hirohito was just thirty-three years old and in his prime, and Queen Xiangjun was also in her prime.We are very happy, we go to Wushan together every day, we are so happy.  “I just never expected that just yesterday, my capital, Tokyo, would be subject to a large-scale sudden air attack by the despicable Chinese people.  The sudden sound of the alarm and the shouts of the guards almost made Emperor Hirohito impotent in a state of excitement.  Emperor Hirohito was still in shock at this moment. He didn't even have time to ask Queen Xiangjun to use her sexy little mouth to help verify whether he was too frightened to move.  You can imagine how bad Emperor Hirohito was at this time.  A burst of chaotic footsteps came from outside. Emperor Hirohito looked up with a dark face, and saw a guard running in quickly, lowering his head and reporting to him: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Saito Minoru, in collaboration with the Foreign Minister, are asking for an audience with each other on land and sea.  " Emperor Hirohito snorted: "Let them come to see me quickly." "Hai." The guard quickly lowered his head and immediately turned around and left.  Not long after, Cabinet Prime Minister Minoru Saito walked in with several cabinet members tremblingly.  As soon as they saw Emperor Hirohito, they all stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the humble minister!" Emperor Hirohito did not wave his hands to let them stand down as before, but snorted and asked: "Prime Minister Saito, I hope you can give me a  Satisfactory reply. The empire has been defeated again and again overseas, losing Manchuria and Korea. Why has even our capital become a target that the Chinese army can attack at will?  What are they doing? " Emperor Hirohito's voice became louder and more agitated, and his eyes became stern.  Saito Minoru was speechless and lowered his head with a look of shame: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is the fault of the humble minister. We were not fully prepared." "Baga, I, the Imperial Japanese Army, are now  It is simply unreasonable to be reduced to the point of being wantonly bullied by the Chinese army. Prime Minister Saito, you and your cabinet members must come up with a revenge plan as soon as possible. You must retaliate against the Chinese people to restore the bad influence this incident has caused in the hearts of the people.  Do you understand the impact?" Emperor Hirohito roared with anger.  "Hai, I'll make arrangements right now for my humble position." Saito Minoru responded helplessly.  ps: I was called to the driving school to practice driving in the rain during the day, and came back at night. This is the only update for today. I will make up for at least four updates tomorrow!  (To be continued.

    After leaving the palace, Saito Minoru and others took a bus back to the Cabinet Office Building.  "Everyone, you must have seen His Majesty the Emperor's rage just now, right? The losses caused to us by the China Army this time were also quite large. There were tens of thousands of casualties in Tokyo, and more than fifty fighter planes were lost. In addition,  The aircraft carrier Flying Eagle anchored in Tokyo Bay also suffered heavy damage and sank. "Miru Saito stood at the head of the conference table, looked at the crowd with a solemn face and said, "Everyone, if you have any ideas, please tell me." "Prime Minister.  Your Excellency, I think we must give the Chinese a strong retaliatory blow to wash away the humiliation of the Imperial Army," said Navy Prime Minister Kato Shiro.  "What does Katen-kun mean? Please be clear!" Saito Minoru asked.  "This is not the first time that the Chinese have invaded the airspace of our Empire of Japan and carried out air strikes on our territory, causing us heavy casualties and losses. I believe that in order to maintain the reputation of our Empire of Japan and the Emperor of Japan,  To protect the dignity of the military, we must immediately declare war on China, launch a full-scale war, and use an iron-blooded war to teach the despicable and arrogant Chinese people a lesson!" Shiro Kato said with fierce eyes.  "I object!" Lu Xiang Pingye Shaoqi, who was standing opposite Jiate Shiro, said immediately.  "Oh? Hirano-kun, tell me your reasons." Saito Minoru looked at him with interest and asked.  Hirano Shaoqi looked at Shiro Kato, who looked a little ugly, and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, first of all, the imperial army has lost Manchuria and Korea one after another in the past two years, and even the garrisons in Tianjin and Peiping have lost their lives because of this.  The two areas were occupied by the Northeastern Border Guards and lost their footing. In several large-scale battles with the Northeastern Border Guards, our army suffered huge losses, and almost all the active officers and soldiers of the seventeen permanent divisions were lost.  It would be extremely unwise to declare war on the Chinese rashly, because the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of the China Army has developed into an extremely powerful new local army. If the imperial army cannot defeat Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force and recapture Goryeo and Korea.  Manchuria. Then the declaration of war against China is empty talk and a complete joke! " "Hirano-kun, I think your army is afraid of being beaten by the Chinese? The Northeast Frontier Defense Force is very powerful now, but the area they control is in the Northeast.  Ya, we can definitely launch attacks and retaliatory strikes on the southern China and East China coastal areas," Kato Shiro said with confidence.  "Jia Teng, you, you take it for granted. This is completely inconsistent with the empire's mainland policy. If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. Now we have even lost Korea. Do you still want to start from the southeast with dense river networks?"  Launch an attack on the Chinese along the coast? Another point is, even if we launch an attack from the southeastern coastal area, what should we do if Zhang Xinghan's northeastern border troops go south to join the war? You must know that once war is declared against China, the real war will begin.  The Chinese people will probably unite to deal with us," Hirano Shaoqi argued.  "Mr. Hirano, the original continental policy has become history since your army lost Manchuria and Goryeo, and it will never have the chance to be realized again. Now we must change the empire's continental policy. As for the Northeast Frontier Defense Force you mentioned  Going south to join the war is definitely an exaggeration. The situation in China has undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force is a dominant force, and its territory has encompassed the four northeastern provinces and the Pingjin area. Its sphere of influence has almost dominated the entire Northeast.  The strength of the Central Army of the Nationalist Government has almost surpassed that of the Central Army of the Nationalist Government led by Chiang Kai-shek. Under such circumstances, both the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army of the Nationalist Government led by Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu regarded it as their confidant.  Big trouble. If our Imperial Japanese Army can land on the southeast coast, no matter how critical the war situation is, they will not let Zhang Xinghan lead his troops south for reinforcements because they are afraid that Zhang Xinghan will seize their territory in the name of resisting Japan.  "Katen Shiro talked eloquently.  Kato Shiro kept mentioning the army's loss of Manchuria and Goryeo, which was undoubtedly an invisible slap in Hirano Shaoqi's face, which made him very annoyed. He immediately said: "Kato Shiro, do you think that without our army, the navy alone can do this?"  Capture the entire China? Even if you destroy Chiang's Central Army, can you resist the attack of Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army?" After saying this, Hirano Shaoqi turned to Saito and said: "Prime Minister.  Your Excellency, China's northeastern border defense force is now powerful, and its air force has even threatened the imperial army's homeland. Our top priority should be to recuperate as soon as possible, accumulate strength, and develop more advanced weapons and equipment rather than launch an invasion of China regardless of the consequences.  War, like that?The current situation of the Japanese Empire is by no means a good thing.  " Hirano Shaoqi finally understood. It is impossible for this old guy Shiro Katou not to know that with the current situation of the Japanese Empire, it is impossible to launch a war of aggression against China. "The purpose of what he said is nothing more than to want the Prime Minister to unify and increase the navy's  Investment in construction, thereby reducing the Army's meager strategic resource allocation. So, after speaking, he glared at Kato Shiro. As expected, Kato Shiro turned a blind eye to Hirano Shaoqi's glare.  Turning to Saito Minoru, he said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, what Hirano-kun said is not unreasonable. Now our army has suffered heavy losses.  “The Chinese air force has already posed a threat to our homeland, so I suggest that we immediately increase investment in the sea-based aviation and marine forces of our navy.  To truly defend the enemy from outside the country, the navy and air force of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet must maintain the strongest strength.  " Saito Minoru saw the two fighting openly and covertly, and felt extremely unhappy. How long has it been since the Navy Ministry and the Army Ministry were still fighting each other? " However, the discord between the Army and the Navy has been a long-standing matter, Saito Minoru  I can’t think of any good way to solve this situation, which is related to Japan’s unique geographical location. Japan is an island country surrounded by sea, so the navy must be the first choice and top priority for the development of the country’s military.  After the navy became strong enough, the Japanese began to expand their ambitions to expand their so-called living space. At this time, they must have a strong enough army and develop the army, which will inevitably violate the interests of the navy.  . Therefore, Saito Minoru had no ability to solve such a historical issue. In the end, he had to declare that the meeting ended without any resolution. However, two days later, in order to deal with their angry Emperor, the Saito Cabinet decided to send a fleet deep into China.  On the southeast coast, they are preparing to launch a retaliatory air raid on Nanjing, the capital of China, in retaliation for the Northeast Air Force's air raid on Tokyo. In fact, what the Japanese want to bomb most is Shanghai, but the situation in Shanghai is special. Western powers have concessions here.  Naturally, they did not dare to offend. Three days ago, the news of the Northeast Air Force’s air raid on the Japanese capital Tokyo was widely reported by the Northeast Frontier Force’s own official media, the Northeast Times.  After hearing the news, tens of millions of people in Cangzhou, Baoding, took to the streets to celebrate. Then the news quickly spread to North China, Central Plains, and Jiangnan. In just a few days, it spread throughout the country and all walks of life were patriotic.  People were all greatly encouraged and excited, and it was most appropriate to celebrate with the whole country. Although the Nationalist Government was dissatisfied with the unauthorized actions of the Northeast Frontier Guards, Chairman Chiang could only scold Niang Xipi in private, but still supported it on the surface.  attitude in exchange for the support of the domestic people. In the Zhang family compound in Jilin City, Zhang Xinghan was playing chess with his father Zhang Yuxi, while Wang Ruoying, her mother, her siblings Su Hanyun, Sister-in-law Zhou and others were chatting with Zhang Xinghua's son in the pavilion.  Zhang Weiguo was already running around. Sister Zhou's three children went to school. He was the only child in the family who could run, so he seemed very bored. One moment he ran to see his grandfather and uncle playing chess, and the other moment he ran to grandma and his uncle.  Aunt and mother looked at their little brother and sister who were being held in their arms. It had been three days since Zhang Xinghan returned to Jilin City. His sister Su Hanyun's belly was getting bigger day by day. Fortunately, Zhang Xinghua had time off to come home.  After spending a few days with her, she was in a good mood. Zhang Xinghua's vacation was over today, so she accompanied Wang Ruoying and her mother-in-law to help take care of Zhang Jianhai and Zhang Nianjun, who were just half a year old and could not walk yet.  , they need someone to hold them all the time. Fortunately, there is Mrs. Zhou at home, otherwise Wang Ruoying and Liu Liping would be busy. The four of them were teasing the two little guys there, laughing and laughing from time to time. Zhang Xinghan and his father drank tea.  Chess, everything is peaceful and happy.  If it were not for the war years, they would definitely be an extremely happy family.  But in extraordinary times, such wonderful scenes often cannot be maintained stably.  Outside the compound, a jeep came quickly. As soon as it stopped at the door, a burly officer jumped out of the car and hurriedly walked into the yard.  The guards outside the yard showed no signs of intercepting him.  As soon as the officer entered the courtyard, Guo Zhong heard the sound and came over. When he saw him, he asked in surprise: "Yizhi, what's so urgent?" &nbsp; "Old Guo, where is the chief? We have an urgent military report." The person who came was none other than Shen Xingye, the director of the Secrecy Bureau, and he said with Guo Zhong's anxious look on his face.  "I'm playing chess with the old man in the backyard. Come on, I'll take you there." Guo Zhong said, then turned around and led Shen Xingye towards the backyard.  Arriving at the backyard, Zhang Xinghan accidentally looked up and saw them before they could report, and gestured to them to wait outside.  "Dad, I'm going out. Maybe there are some things that need to be dealt with." Zhang Xinghan said to Zhang Yuxi, who was frowning in anticipation.  "Oh? Go, go." Zhang Yuxi came to her senses after hearing the sound, raised her head and waved her hands.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!

    Zhang Xinghan came to the archway in the backyard. Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye who were waiting here quickly stood up and saluted: "Maintained seat." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand casually and asked, "Yizhi, what's the matter? Is there anything?" Shen Xingye ordered.  He nodded and said: "Chief, the Shanghai Station of the Security Bureau has just received the latest information. The Japanese are likely to launch a retaliatory air raid on the capital Nanjing in the near future to avenge the attack on Tokyo." "Oh?"  Zhang Xinghan frowned when he heard this and said: "Have you figured out the specific date?" "It's not clear yet, but I have ordered the heads of each station in the Jiangnan Branch to step up their inquiries, and we should get the exact information soon. Because the Japanese are preparing  Secretly evacuate its expatriates and businessmen in Nanjing," Shen Xingye replied.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to the two of them: "You guys wait for me outside. We will go to the headquarters immediately, notify the chief of staff and discuss countermeasures." "Yes." Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye stood up and responded at the same time, then turned around and took the order to leave.  .  Zhang Xinghan turned around and walked into the backyard to say goodbye to his family.  Fifteen minutes later, the headquarters of the Northeast Border Defense Force.  Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, Fourth Army Commander Zhao Zhenfan, Deputy Commander Gao Chu and others have all arrived.  Zhao Zhenfan’s group army headquarters is located in Dalian, while Gao Chu’s deputy headquarters is located in Harbin. Zhao Zhenfan is nominally the commander-in-chief, but in fact, one of them is responsible for southern Manchuria and the other is responsible for northern Manchuria.  "Compared with the current situation, the defense of Northern Manchuria in Gaochu is even more important than the defense of Southern Manchuria by Zhao Zhenfan.  After all, the Japanese are unlikely to make a comeback in a short period of time, and the Soviets are likely to attack again.  This time, they came to report to Zhang Xinghan in Jilin City, and they happened to catch up with this meeting.  After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to explain the situation. He looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about this? Let's hear it." "Chief, I think we should stop the Japanese from doing this.  In this operation, no matter what our relationship with Jiang Gong is, we are all members of the National Revolutionary Army in name, and Nanjing is indeed our capital for the time being. Our air raid on Tokyo gave the Japanese a lesson and a warning, which was a great encouragement.  But if the Japanese air attack on Nanjing succeeds, the results of our air attack on Tokyo will immediately disappear, and it will also have a counterproductive effect.  The air raid on Nanjing can not only destroy our people's confidence in the army, but also restore the reputation and confidence of the Japanese army among their own people. It shows that the Japanese army is also capable of air raids on our Chinese capital, and we cannot allow it under any circumstances.  They accomplished it." Jiang Baili took the lead in stating his opinion.  "Well, what the chief of staff said makes sense, and I agree with him." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement.  "I haven't said it yet. If the Japs want to bomb Nanjing, we have to organize them. We don't care about anything. As long as the Japs want to do it, we can't do what they want. That's right. Moreover, what the counselor said is true.  That's right, hehe!" Gao Chu scratched his head and said with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "Since you all think so, let's start preparations immediately. The chief of staff's analysis is indeed reasonable." After a pause, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Chief of staff, if you want to guard against Japanese air attacks  "Nanjing, the best way is to station our air force in Nanjing or even Shanghai and Yangzhou. But judging from the current situation, this method is not feasible, so we have to find other ways." Jiang Baili nodded.  : "The commander-in-chief is right. I think the most urgent thing right now is to find a way to inform the military commander of the Japanese air attack on Nanjing, or directly tell Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Let him prepare in advance. At the same time, I think we  Zero fighter jets can be sent to take off from Dalian Air Force Base and patrol the coastal airspace from Tianjin to Shanghai. Once the Japanese fleet is discovered, we will report it immediately and we will send the main force of the air force to intercept it. This should be able to prevent the Japanese from air raids on Nanjing. " "Chief of Staff.  , Your suggestion is good. It is necessary to inform Chairman Chiang. After all, he is now the leader of the national government. There is no way he should be allowed to die under a Japanese air raid. Although the military commander may have already learned the news.  , but we still need to inform you." As he said that, Zhang Xinghan turned to Shen Xingye and said, "Yizhi, please be careful in arranging this matter and not expose our people." "Yes.??I understand.  "Shen Xingye nodded and turned around to leave. "As for sending planes to patrol and block thousands of kilometers of coastline, although we can do it, we can block it during the day, but what about at night?  Zhang Xinghan asked: "Have you ever thought about it?"  The Japanese fleet could have taken advantage of the darkness to approach the southeastern coast, and then take off fighter planes to carry out air strikes and bombings on Nanjing.  In fact, even if they take off from any sea area during the day, it will be difficult for us to completely block them, because Nanjing is only a few hundred kilometers away from the sea. The Japanese naval fleet only needs to get within 200 kilometers of our southeastern coast to  Take off in either direction.  " Zhang Xinghan's words are correct. Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others frowned and fell into deep thought. Gao Chu rubbed his head and said with a depressed look on his face: "Then what should we do?  Is there no way to stop this little Japan?  " "Of course not. If you want to truly intercept the Japanese, the best way is to dispatch a naval fleet to directly block the East China Sea.  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. "Navy?  Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and asked in surprise: "Chief Commander, do you mean to send the navy out?"  This is our secret force. The most important thing is that they have been in the army for less than a year and are still in the training stage. No one can say how much combat effectiveness they will have.  And the number of our warships is significantly less than that of the Japanese. The Japanese navy has been established for hundreds of years. The active combined naval fleets are all well-trained and have rich practical experience. Our navy may not be their opponent yet.  " "Of course I know this.  "Zhang Xinghan said: "In terms of surface strength, whether it is the number and tonnage of ships or the quality of our personnel, we are still far behind the Japanese.  " However, naval battles, like battles on land, have conventional battles and unconventional battles. When the overall strength is not as good as the enemy, the only way to deal with the enemy is to use surprise and surprise.  " "Is the implication of the commander-in-chief's words referring to the mobilization of our submarine force?  "Jiang Baili suddenly realized. Zhang Xinghan smiled and nodded: "That's it. First of all, the Japanese don't know the existence of our naval submarine force. Furthermore, our submarines are relatively advanced and are advanced submarines specially developed for underwater combat.  , compared with today's ordinary submarines, it is less likely to be discovered by the enemy.  As long as we send out submarine troops, we can completely take them by surprise and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese.  " "However, the submarine force has only been formed for half a year. It has insufficient training. Can it succeed?  "Zhao Zhenfan said with a worried look. "The best training is actual combat. Without the baptism of actual combat, no arm or unit can truly grow, let alone become a true elite.  Zhang Xinghan said: "We are in the dark and the Japanese are in the light. We only need to patrol along our coastal waters. As long as the Japanese dare to come, we can wait and ambush them unexpectedly."  And the advanced performance of our submarines can make up for the lack of experience of our submarine force officers and soldiers to a certain extent.  Therefore, in this battle, we can send submarine troops to participate in the battle. Only with the combination of navy and air force can we truly effectively implement the blockade and prevent and sabotage the Japanese air raid on Nanjing.  " "Well, what the chief said makes sense.  " "Since you don't have any objections, it's decided.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and made a decision. Everyone stood up and left one after another, and the order was quickly conveyed. Nanjing City, the leader's official residence. In Chairman Chiang's study, Dai Li, the big boss of the military command, was walking on thin ice.  After reporting to Chairman Jiang the urgent information that his subordinates had just received, Chairman Jiang became furious and cursed: "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, it's this Zhang Xinghan who decided to dispatch without permission.  Planes bombed Tokyo, the Japanese capital, and now they have incurred Japanese retaliation. He cannot absolve himself of the blame!  " After a pause, Chairman Chiang said angrily: "These Japanese people are not a thing. Zhang Xinghan bombed their Tokyo. Why don't they dare to bomb Jilin and Changchun, and in turn want to bomb my Nanjing?  !  " Dai Li felt bitter in his heart. The Japanese were picking on the weak, but he naturally did not dare to say this clearly. He just followed Chairman Chiang's words and said: "Commissioner, Nanjing is our capital. The Japanese were bombed in order to cleanse Tokyo.  It is reasonable to regard Nanjing as the target of revenge.  " "Mother Xipi, ordered the troops stationed in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places to pay close attention to air defense, just in case!  "Chairman Chiang said helplessly and angrily. "Commissioner, in addition to these, I would like to suggest that for your own safety, you should go to the Yuhuatai Air Defense Base for a while for the next two days." Dai Li said cautiously. Chairman Jiang wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he sighed and nodded: "Shihe, you go make arrangements. I will be working at Yuhuatai in the next few days.  " "Yes, seat."  Wang Shihe, who was waiting by the side, immediately nodded in response. After Wang Shihe left, Chairman Jiang stared at Dai Li with dagger-like eyes and asked: "Yunong, how did you do what I asked you last time?"  When will Zhang Xinghan be eliminated?  "Now Chairman Chiang hates Zhang Xinghan and cannot get rid of him quickly. Not only has Zhang Xinghan stolen his limelight as a leader. But Chairman Chiang knows that as long as Zhang Xinghan dies, the powerful Northeast Frontier Defense Force will surely collapse, and he can  He accepted it immediately. As long as he mastered this force with advanced weapons, well-equipped combat capabilities, no one in China would be his opponent. (To be continued.)

    Dai Li's face suddenly changed slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said: "Commissioned, Zhang Xinghan has formed a very powerful special agent force, and there are many elite guards around him. It is difficult for our people to get close to him, so during this period of humble duty, but  I have been trying my best to arrange suitable candidates. ""Enough!" When Chairman Jiang heard that there was still no progress, he immediately waved his hands and shouted: "Dai Li, you must know that the National Government allocates so much to your Military Command Bureau every year.  The funds are not for you to raise pigs. I will give you another half year. No matter what, you must find a way to get close to Zhang Xinghan and kill him! " Chairman Jiang also said this with an element of anger.  As a good player in politics, how could he not know that in Zhang Xinghan's position, it would be extremely difficult to kill him through assassination and other means.  Especially Zhang Xinghan’s current strength is no less than that of the Central Army who has nearly one million men at his disposal.  How can its security work be trivial?  Dai Li immediately complained secretly, but after noticing Chairman Chiang's sharp gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Yes, I will do my best to complete the task in this humble position." …………… Dalian, Lushun Military Port, a secret  In the harbor, fifty submarines were moored quietly in the water.  On the shore, about 3,000 sailors have all gathered. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili, accompanied by Ives and others, have arrived in front of the queue.  Among the three thousand sailors in front of us, nearly 90% of the best performers will participate in this submarine force expedition.  After more than half a year of training, as the number of sailors continues to increase, Zhang Xinghan has already added thirty submarines to them, so now the total number of submarines in xxi has reached fifty.  Fifty submarines are more than ten years ahead of this era. They can be said to be a generation of advanced submarines, and they are kept in extreme secrecy so that the enemy is completely unaware of their existence. ??????????? If you are prepared mentally and unprepared, it will be an extremely terrifying underwater blade.  "Brothers, as members of the first batch of Chinese civilian-owned submarine forces, you represent our 40 million Chinese sons and daughters, and our great Chinese nation. I am proud and proud of each of you. Today,  You will embark on the journey for the first time with the expectations of countless of us. I hope you can fight bravely and march forward to win glory for the country. Because in my heart, you are the omnipotent dragon under the water, a sharp sword.  I believe you will be able to give a severe lesson to all enemies who dare to invade our territorial waters. Tell me loudly, can you?" Zhang Xinghan was doing pre-war mobilization for the submarine force's first expedition. This is very necessary.  "Yes!" Three thousand sailors responded in unison.  "Very good, from today on, the code name of your unit is Jiaolong, Northeast Navy Fleet Jiaolong Task Force, let's go!" Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and ordered loudly.  "Yes, I promise to complete the mission! Chinese sailors, keep moving forward!" Three thousand submarine officers and soldiers stood up in response, and soon more than two thousand sailors boarded their respective submarines.  As the chief instructor, Ives and a group of subordinates also boarded the ship, although they were all British and should not participate in the battle against the Japanese army.  But now their status is almost that of mercenaries, and with the pressure from Alice, they have no choice but to agree to accompany them.  In fact, after more than half a year of getting along, many of Ives and the others have established deep friendships with these sailors, and they are not worried about their group of rookies who have not yet left the army to go to sea alone to fight.  Alice’s side was naturally the result of Zhang Xinghan’s actions before his arrival, although Zhang Xinghan knew that he could not always count on outsiders.  “But our submarine force has just been established and lacks actual combat experience. Relatively speaking, it is much better to have this group of British veterans following us.  As long as after this battle, the officers and soldiers will definitely make great progress, and it will be much better to carry out combat missions alone in the future.  At this time, the submarine force was more valuable than air force pilots, so Zhang Xinghan had to be cautious.  One submarine after another slowly sailed out of the military port and soon disappeared on the sea level.  Zhang Xinghan held up the telescope and looked at it. He didn't look back until they started to dive and completely disappeared from the field of vision.  Jiang Baili patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back." At the same time, at the Dalian Military Airport, dozens of Zero fighter jets took off one after another and immediately flew towards the south.  Leaving the submarine base, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others went directly to the headquarters of the 4th Group Army in Dalian.  They will all stay here in the next few days,While keeping abreast of the latest situation of the submarine force and air force reconnaissance force.  …………… Two days later, in the vast East China Sea, a naval fleet flying the Japanese flag was sailing towards China.  On the sea, black smoke billows from the chimneys of huge warships. This is a huge fleet composed of three aircraft carriers, four battleships, 12 destroyers, three cruisers, and five refueling supply ships.  On the periphery of the fleet, there are also a group of warships with a tonnage of one thousand to two thousand and dozens of submarines serving as peripheral guards.  The person responsible for commanding this operation is Vice Admiral Kawagumo of the First Fleet of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  In the war room on an aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Kawagumo was discussing with a group of staff adjutants around the combat map an air raid plan that had been rehearsed countless times.  According to the plan made by Lieutenant General Kawagumo and his subordinates before departure, their fleet will sail past Suyan Reef and take off a total of 60 aircraft from three aircraft carriers when it is about a hundred nautical miles away from the Chinese coastline.  Carrier-based fighters and twenty carrier-based bombers flew to Nanjing to conduct air raids and bombings.  Judging from the map, the Kawagumo fleet set off from Kagoshima and headed towards the Chinese waters in a straight line.  "Your Excellency, General, we will be able to reach our destination by tomorrow morning at the latest, and then we can launch an attack on Nanjing, the capital of the Chinese people, to avenge the compatriots who died in Tokyo City!" A staff officer said to Chuanyun with a proud look on his face.  road.  Lieutenant General Chuanyun nodded slightly and said: "Hey, Zhang Xinghan's command of the China Army is very hateful. If the base camp didn't approve it, I really want to lead you to the Yellow Sea and directly attack Dalian, Peiping and Tianjin. Where is Zhang Xinghan's territory."  "Your Excellency, General, the Kwantung Army of the Northeast Frontier Army fought miserably in Manchuria and Goryeo, and hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. This shows how powerful their combat effectiveness is. The arrangement of the base camp may have been based on this consideration.  "A staff officer said.  "Humph, that's the incompetence of the Kwantung Army, a bunch of waste, a waste of precious strategic resources and military expenditures of the Empire of Japan. Our Imperial Japanese naval fleet is invincible in all of Asia. The firepower of one of our cruisers can exceed  One division of the Army and one battleship can destroy half of the Chinese county. As long as the base camp gives the order, we will definitely give Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force a lesson." Lieutenant General Chuanyun has obviously never fought against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  .  Therefore, I have always believed that it is not that the Northeast Border Guard is too strong, but that their army is too incompetent.  "His Majesty the General believes that the China Air Force is still very powerful. They can break through our layers of protection. The direct air attack on Tokyo is proof of their success. We should not be too careless and should be careful to guard against the enemy's air force fighters. After all, we are very fast.  We are about to enter the coastal waters of China. To paraphrase a Chinese saying, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship!" Another staff adjutant suggested.  Unexpectedly, Lieutenant General Chuanyun was furious when he heard this. He slapped the staff adjutant in the face and cursed: "Baga Yalu, if you continue to disturb the morale of the army, you will die." The staff adjutant was beaten,  I had no choice but to bow my head and admit my mistake, saying hello repeatedly.  Others were immediately silent when they saw this, but although Lieutenant General Chuanyun was angry, he was not carried away by his anger.  He said to his chief of staff: "Ono-kun, please pass the order immediately. All ships should be fully prepared for air defense. The peripheral Jingwei troops should also strengthen their Jingwei, especially against airborne Jingwei!" "Hai!" Chief Ono said quickly.  He bowed his head and responded, taking the order and walking towards the communication room.  Near the sea area about 150 nautical miles away from the coast of Shanghai, more than 30 submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force are spreading slowly on the water within a radius of 100 nautical miles.  On both sides of them, in an area of ??fifty nautical miles each, a dozen other submarines were also slowly moving forward.  Fifty submarines were almost arranged in a long snake formation, heading towards the high seas in an area of ??more than 300 nautical miles.  Such a wide sea area is enough for them to be vigilant, not to mention that on their left wing, there are a large number of their own Zero fighter jets constantly conducting low-altitude reconnaissance flights.  More than 300 nautical miles, equivalent to a distance of 600 kilometers, their blockade extends almost from the direction of Hangzhou Bay to the direction of Yancheng, Jiangsu.  Such a wide distance is already a must for the Japanese naval fleet, because no matter how far it is, unless the Japanese drive their warships directly to the coast, their fighter planes will not be able to reach Nanjing, and even if they do, they will not be able to reach Nanjing.  Return trip.  Without knowing that the navy and air force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force were already involved, it was impossible for the Japanese Navy to take such an adventurous path.  Of course, in order to ensureIt will pass by the Japanese naval fleet. The submarines of Task Force Jiaolong follow an S-shaped route as they advance.  The patrol range of each Xxi submarine is about fifty nautical miles, which is not a problem at all for them with an underwater speed of 17 knots.  The Jiaolong Task Force had just arrived in the East China Sea after two days of sailing. Of course, during the voyage, they used cruising speed, naturally to save more fuel and obtain a longer combat time.  .  PS: The fourth update will be available before 12 o'clock.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 398: The First Battle of Jiaolong

    The time has reached five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun has begun to set towards the west. The setting sun shines golden on the sea. At this moment, the sea level is relatively quiet, and there are no big winds or waves.  Since arriving yesterday, the submarine of Task Force Jiaolong has been traveling on the sea for nearly a day and a night.  Of course, their speed was extremely slow, and they were responsible for searching more than 300 nautical miles of water. They only advanced less than 70 nautical miles in one day and one night.  By now they were more than two hundred nautical miles away from the coast.  Since it was getting dark, the Air Force's Zero fighter group had already begun to prepare to return. At this moment, an Xxi submarine at the front of the entire task force suddenly discovered something unusual.  “Captain, Captain, look, there’s a situation ahead.” A lookout suddenly said urgently.  At this time, their submarine was in a semi-floating state, and the lookout glass was exposed to the sea.  Because there are waves hitting it from time to time, it is generally difficult to find.  The captain's name is Liu Taoyun. He is twenty-five years old this year. He is one of the most outstanding sailor trainees in this group, so he was directly promoted to the captain of a XXX submarine.  Liu Yuntao walked quickly to the lookout mirror, grabbed the lookout mirror and looked at it for a while, then turned around and ordered: "No, it's the Japanese naval fleet, dive down immediately, and notify other submarines immediately, quick!"  The officers and soldiers became busy, and soon the submarine quickly dived into the sea.  Ives is currently on a submarine with Wang Yunhai, the first captain of the Dragon Task Force. Due to the British's loose character, the British guy is leisurely drinking a drink and reading a book on a bed.  Wang Yunhai and his subordinates all stayed at their respective posts conscientiously. A telegraph operator suddenly came over and reported to Wang Yunhai: "Captain, report No. 001, an enemy fleet has been spotted ahead, the one closest to our department.  Less than five nautical miles." "Huh?" Wang Yunhai was shocked when he heard this, and the British man Ives also ran over quickly and asked in blunt Chinese: "Wang, Captain, what happened?" "The Japanese fleet was discovered.  "Wang Yunhai said nervously.  "Dive, everyone dive, now! Quick!" Ives reacted quickly as if he had been shocked.  "Do as instructor Ives said. Quick, pass the order. In addition, order all units to move closer to us immediately. We are going to face the enemy." Wang Yunhai immediately ordered.  "Yes!" The telegraph operator responded with a bang, then turned around and left.  The fifty Xxi submarines quickly received the orders and instructions, and began to dive quickly. After a while, they all disappeared on the sea surface.  On Wang Yunhai's flagship, Ives suddenly said to him: "Captain Wang, you can't attack at this time." "Why? If you don't attack, the enemy will probably take off to attack Nanjing with an air attack." Wang Yunhai, who was about to order an attack, couldn't help but  Xie asked.  "First of all, you should immediately report this situation to your headquarters, our Commander Zhang Xinghan, and ask him to find a way to notify Nanjing City to prepare for air defense. Second, the sun has set now, and it will take another hour at most.  It will be dark, and the Japanese are still two hundred nautical miles away. They will not take off at this distance, because the round-trip distance has exceeded the effective combat radius of their aircraft, so they will still advance at least fifty to one hundred nautical miles.  The plane is taking off, and it will be dark by then, so they will definitely choose to launch an air attack tomorrow morning. I suggest that you should dive to a safe depth first, hide, and follow them until it gets dark in two or three hours.  It's more advantageous for us to attack them in complete darkness because it will be harder for them to detect us," Ives explained.  "Oh, that makes sense." Wang Yunhai nodded, changed his attention, and then turned to give the signal soldier another order.  In fact, Ives' caution is somewhat redundant given the equipment level and excellent performance of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet in this era.  Because based on the level of equipment of the Japanese at this time, they don’t even have radar, so it is impossible to detect the whereabouts of the Jiaolong Task Force, and the Xxi is an advanced submarine that can launch attacks directly underwater.  It is possible to quietly drive close to the Japanese warships and launch a direct attack from the bottom of the water, which can also cause heavy damage to the Japanese fleet.  Of course, Ives' caution is not without some merit, that is, the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Task Force are all rookies who have not experienced actual combat.  If they launch an attack underwater, there will be no difference between day and night.  And if it’s nighttime, they can?Rising to the surface of the sea to launch an attack, this will be more conducive to their actions.  For rookies, underwater attacks are still more difficult than surface attacks. On the water, they can launch torpedoes more directly and accurately until the frontier witnesses the target being hit and sunk.  “For rookies like them, this can increase their confidence in winning and practical experience.  Dalian, 4th Group Army Headquarters.  The cooking team has just prepared dinner, and Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others are eating together.  A communications staff officer suddenly ran in in a hurry, and before he could stand at attention, he said: "General manager, please call me from the Jiaolong task force." "Huh?" Everyone stood up immediately upon hearing this, and Zhang Xinghan stepped forward directly and handed over the message.  Taking it in his hand, he looked at it quickly and said, "The Japanese have appeared, and Jiaolong is preparing to attack." "Then what should we do?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "It's getting dark, and the Air Force can no longer rush to join the battle. Jiaolong asks us to notify Nanjing as soon as possible to prepare for air defense." Zhang Xinghan said and ordered the communications staff: "Go and call Jiaolong immediately and tell them that during the attack,  Don't be greedy for more, just attack the enemy's largest warship, which must be their aircraft carrier or battleship. After a successful attack, immediately use the advantage of our dive depth to evacuate. There is no need to fight, as long as the enemy's aircraft carrier is killed, their air raids will be carried out.  It's all over." "Yes, I'll go right away." The communications soldier responded and quickly turned around and ran away.  "Zhongzi, you go and notify Shen Xingye immediately and ask him to arrange for someone to notify Nanjing and prepare for air defense immediately." After the communications staff member left, Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong again.  "Okay, I'll go right away." Guo Zhong nodded in response and stood up to leave.  "Chief, can Jiaolong succeed? The Japanese navy has always been known as the best in Asia and the third in the world!" Jiang Baili was a little worried. After all, this was the first battle of the Jiaolong task force. You must know that they have just formed an army.  Less than half a year.  (To be continued.

    Zhang Xinghan smiled very confidently and said: "Chief of Staff, you can rest assured. In terms of performance, our submarine is definitely the most advanced and outstanding submarine in the world today. It can make up for the shortcomings of our submarine officers and soldiers' lack of practical experience and training."  Besides, aren’t there Ives and his group of instructors to help? “So, let’s just wait for the outcome of the battle with peace of mind.” Jiang Baili nodded and said with a forced smile: “It seems that the boss is very confident.  "Maybe I am too cautious and worried." "The fifty submarines, that is, our officers and soldiers lack actual combat experience and lack of training. Otherwise, they will open up their posture and want to kill one of the Japanese with the cover and support of our air power."  The fleet is by no means a problem. Their outstanding performance is unmatched by the current Japanese navy's ship equipment! The two sides are not on the same level at all," Zhang Xinghan said.  ????…………… More than two hours passed quickly, and it was already seven o’clock in the evening, and the sky was completely dark.  Knowing that China does not have a navy, the Japanese navy, whether it is a fleet commander or an ordinary sailor, is very relaxed subconsciously, without any tension or worry.  ??Basically, they regarded this operation as a live-fire military exercise.  In maritime operations, the Empire of Japan is still a hegemon-level existence. This is the aspiration of all officers and soldiers of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  Therefore, the Chuanyun Fleet, which was full of confidence, turned on various lighting and warning lights after nightfall.  The lights on the aircraft carriers and battleships are brightly lit, so dazzling in the dark night.  Dozens of small warning ships deployed outside the fleet even turned on their searchlights, illuminating the surrounding waters back and forth.  "And around these dozens of guard ships, about forty Japanese submarines have all surfaced, taking on the outermost guard duties.  Including Vice Admiral Kawagumo, the officers and soldiers of this Japanese naval fleet did not know that far behind their fleet, dozens of submarine dragons of the Northeast Navy were rapidly approaching them.  Liu Yuntao’s No. 001 xxi submarine even escaped the search by the Japanese fleet’s peripheral submarines and guard ships.  Sneaking into the Japanese naval fleet, followed by one of the larger aircraft carriers slowly advancing.  The outstanding performance of the xxi submarine is fully demonstrated in this performance. The minimal noise and high underwater speed enable it to escape the search and warning of Japanese patrol submarines and ships, and directly blend into the Japanese naval fleet.  middle.  Such an outstanding performance shocked a British instructor on the same ship as Liu Yuntao, in the captain's room No. 001.  The shock on the face of the British instructor, who was about forty years old, did not fade away. He said in disbelief: "Captain Liu, this is definitely the most advanced and outstanding submarine I have ever seen. It can actually sneak in without being noticed."  Among the enemy's fleet. This is incredible. You must know that there are Japanese warships on our left and right. The closest distance to us is less than two thousand yards (1 yard is equal to 0.9144 meters). If we are not on the scene,  I absolutely can’t believe it, and I may even think that the Japanese navy is a bunch of idiots. In fact, your submarines are too advanced and their performance is too good.” Liu Yuntao was extremely proud at this moment, but he still smiled modestly on the surface: “Mike.  The instructor deserves a compliment. The Japanese don’t know our existence at all, so they are less vigilant. Of course, instructor Mike’s excellent command and teaching are also indispensable.”  It doesn't respect national boundaries.  Regardless of race.  The British instructor named Mike burst out laughing when he heard this: "Captain Liu, you are really outstanding. I like you very much and I like China. Haha!" "We also like you, Instructor Mike and Instructor Ives, very much.  After this battle, I’ll treat you to a drink in Quanjude, Dalian. If you have a chance to take a break, Liu will ask instructor Mike to go to the Bada Hutong in Peiping, where there are so many beauties and their reputation spreads far and wide.” Liu Yuntao smiled heartily!  , showing a sinister smile unique to men.  "Yeah! We will definitely teach these arrogant Japanese a lesson this time!" Instructor Mike seemed to be on stimulants.  While the two were talking, the telegraph operator suddenly ran over, stood up and saluted the two: "Captain, instructor, the captain is calling." "Read it!" Liu Yuntao put away his smile and waved his hands seriously.  The telegraph operator immediately took the telegram and read: "The captain ordered all submarines to launch a unified attack on the enemy in ten minutes. No. 001 can find a target on its own to attack. Our main force, Jiaolong, will attack the two large submarines on the rear flank of the Japanese army at the same time."The frigate and other ships in the fleet launched an attack.  "I understand. Report to the captain. Our department will resolutely implement this order."  "Liu Yuntao waved his hand immediately. The telegraph operator bowed his head in response, turned around and took the order to leave. After the signal troops left, Liu Yuntao immediately ordered all officers and soldiers on the ship to prepare for battle. At the same time, Lieutenant General Kawagumo's flagship Shokaku aircraft carrier  , because it was getting late, the entire fleet had begun to slow down, and it was decided to launch an air raid on Nanjing tomorrow, so Lieutenant General Kawaun had left the conference room and came to the restaurant to have a meal.  A 33,200-ton large aircraft carrier. In its original history, this aircraft carrier was hit by a torpedo launched by the US submarine Spiny Fin during the Mariana Sea air battle in June 1944. It was subsequently sunk by a fuel explosion and was the largest in the Japanese Navy during World War II.  The aircraft carriers are Akagi and Kaga, both of which have a maximum displacement of more than 40,000 tons, and the displacement of the Shokaku is considered to be at the upper-middle level among the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.  In addition to the USS aircraft carrier, the models of the other two aircraft carriers are the USS Feilong, with a full load displacement of 21,900 tons and a standard displacement of 16,000 tons. In the original history, the Feilong was the last to be attacked during the Battle of Midway, after its carrier-based aircraft severely damaged the US aircraft carrier Yorktown  was subsequently hit by a US carrier-based aircraft. The commander of the Second Air Force, Major General Yamaguchi Tamon, refused to leave the ship and sank with the Hiryu. The Soryu (Soryu) had a full load displacement of 19,800 tons. In its original history, it was destroyed in 1942.  On June 4, it was bombed and sunk by the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier in the northwest waters of Midway Island. The one targeted by the Northeast Navy Jiaolong Task Force 001 happened to be the Shokaku with the largest displacement. It was the largest in size and naturally became the most powerful one.  Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. While Lieutenant General Chuanyun and his men were still eating, when the ten-minute appointment time passed, Liu Yuntao immediately ordered the six submarines of No. 001 to open fire.  The torpedo launchers opened fire almost at the same time, and six torpedoes weighing 500 kilograms were launched at a high speed at a maximum speed of 47 knots at the aircraft carrier Shokaku, which was about 2,000 yards away.  It was night, so the aircraft carrier Xianghe was unaware. About two or three minutes later, six torpedoes hit the aircraft carrier He Xiang silently at almost the same time. "Boomboomboom" six.  Violent explosions sounded one after another, scarlet fire shot into the sky, and the violent vibration knocked Lieutenant General Kawagumo and a group of Japanese officers who were dining in the aircraft carrier restaurant suddenly to the ground. The tableware in the restaurant was instantly in a mess.  , before Lieutenant General Kawagumo asked, violent explosions were heard again. It turned out that six torpedoes had caused extremely serious damage to the Shokaku, and an ammunition depot and oil depot on the Shokaku were exploded.  , a more violent explosion occurred. In the violent explosion, the huge hull of the Xianghe was split into two parts from the bow third. Amidst the continuous explosions and dazzling fire, it was split into two.  The Shokaku began to tilt rapidly and took on water.  At the same time, other submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force that had quietly approached the enemy also launched attacks on the enemy in front of them. Four Japanese tankers were attacked almost at the same time.  The Japanese did not expect that there would be an enemy attack under the water. The refueling ship was originally traveling at the rear of the fleet and was in the safest zone.  There was no precaution. In a violent explosion, four oil tankers exploded and caught fire at the same time. In the dark night, the scarlet fire and deafening explosions were extremely bright and deafening, completely covering up the waves and sea breeze on the sea.  Whistling sound.  The three battleships were also hit by a dense torpedo salvo the moment after the oiler was hit. About a dozen torpedoes hit the three battleships one after another.  There was a violent explosion immediately. In the monstrous fire, the huge hull of the battleship was instantly destroyed, and countless Japanese sailors who were dining screamed in horror.  After No. 001 hit with one hit, he no longer paid attention to the Shokaku, which had been blown into two halves, but used the remaining torpedoes to attack the Soryu and Hiryu aircraft carriers.  In addition to its excellent low noise level, the excellent performance of xxi is also mechanized and automatic loading. All 20 torpedoes can be launched in only eighteen minutes.  So after the first batch of six torpedoes were launched and concentrated on the Shokaku aircraft carrier, the No. 001 submarine changed its direction and launched the second batch of torpedoes at the Soryu aircraft carrier.  The Shokaku was attacked and there was a violent explosion. The Japanese naval officers and soldiers on the two aircraft carriers Soryu and Hiryu were shocked and confused. They had no time to discover and avoid No. 001's attack.Hit.  Six torpedoes hit the Soryu first, and then six more torpedoes hit the Hiryu. The three aircraft carriers were hit within less than ten minutes.  Hitting three behemoths in succession, instructor Mike was so excited that he immediately said to Liu Yuntao: "Captain Liu, you have achieved extremely good results. Take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army and evacuate as soon as possible." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,  The novel is better and updated faster!

    "Okay." Liu Yuntao's eyes revealed an excited look, and he immediately turned around and said: "Brothers, turn around immediately, let's withdraw!" Submarine No. 001 xxi quickly turned around underwater, and continued to dive deeper, heading towards the six o'clock direction  Evacuate quickly.  The attack of the entire Jiaolong Task Force was completed within five minutes after the No. 001 xxi submarine turned around and evacuated.  The terrifying rate of fire of the xxi submarine, due to mental calculation and unpreparedness, hit three Japanese aircraft carriers, three battleships and four oil tankers in less than twenty minutes.  The above-mentioned ships were all destroyed by powerful torpedoes, ignited huge fires, damaged their hulls, and began to take in water rapidly.  When the Jiaolong Task Force's submarine turned around and fled, it also sank more than a dozen Japanese submarines that hurriedly rushed to rescue their damaged ships.  In this sneak attack, the Jiaolong Task Force inflicted heavy damage on the Chuanyun Fleet in less than half an hour.  Among them, Lieutenant General Kawagumo's flagship Shoga and the other two aircraft carriers Soryu and Hiryu were the most severely damaged, with more than half of their hulls sinking.  The sea was filled with continuous explosions and miserable calls for help and exclamations from Japanese naval officers and soldiers.  Twelve Japanese destroyers hurriedly conducted alert searches in the surrounding waters, but everything was in vain.  The excellent performance of the xxi submarine and the extremely backward search equipment and means of Japanese destroyers are naturally impossible to discover.  In less than an hour, all fifty submarines of Task Force Jiaolong were already nearly twenty nautical miles away.  After confirming that they had arrived at a safe sea area, Wang Yunhai ordered the troops to begin to surface. After returning to the water, they began to look through the lookout toward the sea area where they had just attacked.  Although it was nearly ten nautical miles away, one could still vaguely see the light of fire that was tens of meters high.  In Submarine No. 002  took a look.  He said with joy: "Captain Wang, I can congratulate you and your fleet in advance. You are real underwater dragons." "Instructor Ives, you are very grateful, but I think your congratulations are a bit early." Wang  Yunhai's smile is somewhat intriguing.  "Oh? What do you mean?" Monk Ives said, confused and confused.  "After the battle just now, the officers and men of our Jiaolong Task Force are all confident. Moreover, the Japanese fleet has been severely damaged by us, and they are now in chaos. I decided to launch another attack on them and strive to annihilate them all." Wang  Yunhai said something astonishing.  "What? You want to launch an attack on them?" Ives was shocked, and then shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, the submarine's tactics are about escaping with one hit, relying on flexibility and sneak attack tactics to fight.  Now that we have succeeded in the sneak attack, we have inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. Although our whereabouts have not been exposed, the Japanese are already on guard. Their destroyers and submarines will definitely be on guard against them if we attack again at this time.  The destroyers are facing a face-to-face confrontation." Wang Yunhai chuckled and shook his head: "No, no, instructor, what you said is correct, but when we attack again, we are definitely not going to have a head-on confrontation with the enemy's destroyers.  You will think so, and the Japanese will definitely think so too. If we try to kill them at this time, they will be at a loss.  Search?" Ives asked.  "Yes, we are extremely confident about this." Wang Yunhai nodded and said, "However, we have to wait a little longer for this attack. When the enemy is fully committed to rescuing their fallen officers and soldiers, we will launch a sudden attack again.  , catching them off guard." Ives said no more, nodded and remained silent.  In the sea area where the incident occurred, the Kawagumo Fleet of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet was in chaos. Except for individual destroyers and submarines, they were still on guard duty.  Most of the Japanese small ships and submarines are urgently rescuing those compatriots who were forced to jump into the sea.  Lieutenant General Chuanyun's flagship was the first to be attacked.  The sinking was also the most serious and rapid. Lieutenant General Chuanyun, who was lucky enough not to be killed, had already chosen to jump into the sea with a group of subordinates, and was struggling tenaciously in the water to call for help.  Two Japanese submarines and a guard ship were approaching them, hurriedly rescuing the Japanese officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water.  Lieutenant General Chuanyun and his two subordinates immediately shouted for help at the top of their lungs: "Here. Here, your Excellency the Commander is here. Come here quickly!"&nbsp; At this moment, several violent explosions suddenly came from the periphery of the fleet.  Lieutenant General Kawagumo, who fell into the water, and the Japanese officers and soldiers on the submarine and guard ship turned around in surprise. They saw that several of our own destroyers in the far south had violent explosions. Scarlet fires shot up from the destroyers into the sky, which was very dazzling.  .  "Whether it was Lieutenant General Chuanyun or other Japanese officers and soldiers, everyone was shocked. This mysterious submarine force from an unknown country has come again. They have come again and are still attacking our destroyers.  An inexplicable fear deeply enveloped their bodies and minds, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers were terrified and walking on thin ice.  "Boom, boom, boom" Violent explosions occurred again, and two more Japanese destroyers and a submarine were hit, causing violent explosions.  Liu Yuntao and Wang Yunhai commanded their men to destroy a Japanese destroyer with almost one torpedo. In the dark night, they hid in the seawater and launched a sudden attack from underwater.  Japanese destroyers and submarines were not aware of it at all and were hit and exploded one after another.  At this time, both sides have undergone earth-shaking changes in both quantity and quality. Fifty submarines have an absolutely overwhelming advantage and are besieging the Japanese destroyers and submarines like a pack of wolves.  They maneuvered flexibly underwater and kept shuttling, and the Japanese destroyers and submarines were hit and destroyed one by one.  This assault battle lasted for half an hour before Wang Yunhai ordered all submarines to evacuate.  In half an hour, the number of Japanese destroyers and submarines sunk reached 23, and only two of the 12 Japanese destroyers remained. More than 40 Japanese submarines, plus the dozen or so battle losses just now, at this moment  The entire army has been almost wiped out.  There are only more than fifty small ships responsible for security in the entire Japanese fleet.  However, some of the submarines of Task Force Jiaolong had exhausted their torpedoes, so in order to avoid losses, Wang Yunhai ordered them to evacuate temporarily.  After withdrawing to safe waters, they gathered together more than 20 submarines with torpedoes left, and then surrounded the remnants of the Japanese fleet, ready to launch a final devastating blow to the Japanese at any time.  In the sea area where the Japanese warship group was located, there were fires and explosions everywhere, and the cry for help of officers and soldiers who had fallen into the water. The scene was in a mess.  After being damaged by bombs, submarines and destroyers sank much faster than battleships and aircraft carriers with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.  So the Japanese officers and soldiers on the Japanese ships who were hit were like dumplings and jumped into the sea in a panic.  Of course, there were also many unlucky Japanese soldiers who were directly blown to pieces by the violent explosion that occurred on the destroyer.  As for the Japanese submarines, all the submarines that were hit exploded. The hull shell was severely damaged and flooded rapidly. Basically no one could escape.  In one of the only remaining destroyers, a Japanese major was dictating a farewell message to his subordinates in grief: "Dear Headquarters, I serve as Major of the Third Lieutenant Yano of the Kawagumo Fleet, and the captain of the destroyer Qiun, our fleet was defeated within an hour.  It was attacked twice in a row by a powerful mysterious submarine force from an unknown country. The enemy is powerful. The Kawagumo fleet has lost more than 90% of its main ships, three aircraft carriers, three battleships, ten destroyers and  More than 40 submarines were lost. The life and death of the fleet commander, General Kawagumo, were unknown. The enemy might reappear at any time. With a heavy heart, he bid farewell to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor. He was determined to lead all the officers and soldiers on the ship to fight with him.  The enemy fights to the death for His Majesty the Emperor and for the Yamato nation. Long live His Majesty the Emperor and long live the Empire of Japan!” The message was quickly recorded and sent. Major Yano immediately turned around and walked out of the communication room and began to command his subordinates to drive the destroyer together with another destroyer and a ship.  The submarine awaits the final battle.  Other small Japanese ships are still busy trying to save their fallen companions as much as possible.  Under the dark night sky, the miserable howls of Japanese soldiers calling for help were everywhere.  About ten nautical miles away, in the No. 002 xxi submarine, Ives said to Wang Yunhai overjoyed: "Captain Wang, you have really created a miracle in the history of naval warfare. You have almost wiped out the entire Japanese fleet!" "Ai  Instructor Fusi, you are also a participant and creator of this miracle, but we have not completely eliminated the enemy yet," Wang Yunhai said.  "It's a matter of time. The main force of their fleet has been wiped out by us, and the rest are all vulnerable little shrimps." Ives said easily.  "Yes, in two hours at most, we can report our victory to the Commander-in-Chief." Wang Yunhai also smiled and nodded.  ……………………………… DalianThe headquarters of the 4th Army Group was brightly lit.  In the telecommunications room, the beeping sound of the radio station was endless. Suddenly, a second lieutenant communications officer ran out excitedly holding a message.  Rushing straight to the conference room where Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others were staying, Zhang Xinghan and others immediately stood up as a reflex and asked: "How is it, is there any news about Jiaolong?" The second lieutenant officer stood up and saluted them.  The military salute said: "Reporting to the commander, chief of staff and chief of staff, Task Force Jiaolong has called. After three hours of several attacks, they successfully annihilated an entire Japanese fleet, destroying no less than ten thousand Japanese navy, three aircraft carriers and three battleships each.  There are also a large number of destroyers, submarines and other ships. " PS: There was only one update yesterday, and there will be three updates today. This is the first update.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 401: Unprecedented Victory

    "What? What did you say?" Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others were greatly surprised when they heard this, and Jiang Baili asked uncertain questions again and again.  //High-speed update//. After the communications lieutenant repeated what he just said, everyone really came back to their senses, and cheers and celebrations resounded throughout the entire headquarters conference room.  "Great. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, the 40 million people of the Chinese nation have completely lost their sea rights and have become the targets of wanton bullying and plunder by maritime powers. This battle tonight is a battle that will make the Chinese navy re-emerge.  , will definitely go down in history." Jiang Baili was extremely excited.  As an excellent lover who studied in Japan, he was able to annihilate an entire fleet of the Japanese army, which claimed to have the largest naval power in Asia, just by relying on its submarine force.  Such results made him extremely excited, and his body and mind were immersed in that huge sense of pride and joy.  "Yes, the Chief of Staff is right. Such a glorious victory is the first time in the history of world war. From now on, who dares to say that we Chinese are the sick men of East Asia? Who else dares to look down on us and say that we  No navy?" Zhao Zhenfan nodded with sympathy.  Zhang Xinghan was also very happy, although as the creator of the xxi submarine, he had extraordinary confidence in this advanced submarine.  But when victory really came, he was also filled with surprises and emotions, especially since such a victory was enough to shock the whole world.  Zhang Xinghan can even imagine how shocked and surprised Japan, Europe and the United States and other Western powers, especially military powers like Britain, France and the United States, will be when they learn this news.  "Liu Battalion Commander, let's do this. You can call back the Jiaolong Task Force immediately. They have completed the mission extremely well and the results are extremely brilliant. Order them to start returning immediately. I will personally pick them up and welcome them back in triumph!  " Zhang Xinghan said.  The excellent performance of the xxi submarine further strengthened Zhang Xinghan’s idea of ????organizing an underwater assault force.  He has decided to expand his submarine force in the shortest possible time, and first rely on the powerful submarine force to carry out strategic blockade and non-stop indiscriminate attacks on the waters surrounding Japan.  Threaten Japan's strategic resource imports and slow down the recovery of Japan's national power and military strength.  When one's own navy's main surface fleet has formed combat effectiveness and is strong enough, it can then launch a large-scale attack and engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan would not be so naive as to think that he could defeat the huge Japanese naval combined fleet with only submarine forces.  The reason why tonight's Jiaolong task force had such an unexpected result was due to many favorable factors.  After such a heavy loss, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet will definitely be more vigilant in the future and speed up anti-submarine research at all costs.  Therefore, it will be extremely difficult for the Northeast Navy’s submarine force to achieve results like the Jiaolong Task Force in the future.  "Yes." The communications lieutenant immediately stood up and responded, then turned around and took the order.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  Saito Minoru, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up in a panic by the adjutant.  "Baga, what's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?" Saito Minoru opened the door and cursed.  The scolded adjutant did not bother to explain so much, but hurriedly handed the message in his hand to Saito Minoru, and said with a sad face: "Sir, please take a look." "What is this?  ?" Saito Minoru took the message in confusion.  The Japanese adjutant did not answer, allowing Saito Minoru to open the message himself.  After watching for a while, Saito Minoru's expression changed. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth violently and roared: "Bagaya Road, Bagaya Road, this is impossible, this is impossible, who did it? The United States  No one can have such terrifying naval power. " "Your Excellency, this is true, absolutely true. The Chuanyun fleet has lost contact with us, and they have really been wiped out," said the Japanese adjutant.  "Baga, this is not true!" Saito Minoru didn't want to believe the facts at all.  The total tonnage of an entire naval fleet has exceeded 100,000 tons. You must know that due to the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, the total tonnage limited by the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is only about 300,000 tons.  This is the result of the Japanese secretly building it.  This battle is equivalent to the loss of one-third of the strength of the combined naval fleet.  HistoricallyThe real explosive development and growth of the Japanese combined naval fleet occurred after Japan officially withdrew from the naval treaty in January 1936.  Prior to this, Japan's combined naval fleet was still relatively weak. Of course, this was compared to Western powers such as Britain and France.  In Asia, the Japanese naval combined fleet with a total tonnage of more than 300,000 tons is definitely the most powerful existence.  Whether it is from the tonnage or the quality of warship equipment and naval officers and soldiers.  Furthermore, the Japanese already have a complete naval reserve and replenishment system, as well as a powerful and complete production line.  As long as there is need and sufficient resources, they can work overtime to produce various warships, from aircraft carriers to carrier-based aircraft to submarines.  The Japanese naval technology has been extremely mature.  Now that one-third was lost all at once, how could Saito Minoru not be shocked?  Not surprised?  The Japanese adjutant was so frightened that he did not dare to say any more.  After calming down, Saito Minoru looked up at him and said, "Notify all members of the cabinet immediately to hold an emergency meeting." Half an hour later, all members of Saito's cabinet were present in a conference room of the Prime Minister's Office.  They all had heavy faces, obviously they already knew the bad news that the Chuanyun fleet was completely wiped out.  Everyone showed deep shock and grief, and the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressing.  "Gentlemen, such a terrible thing has happened now. We lost a fleet off the coast of China, but we still don't know who the opponent is. Don't you feel terrible?" Saito Minoru looked at the crowd and said.  "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, no matter which country it is from, this is definitely the biggest shame for the navy since the Meiji Restoration. At the same time, it is also a deep warning to us that our navy is not strong enough at all. We may have extremely powerful opponents.  , They have posed a serious threat to the Imperial Japanese Navy's combined fleet. We must immediately increase investment in the navy and fully develop our navy. Otherwise, one day, the imperial army may not even be able to defend our territorial waters.  , By then, not to mention our mainland policy, even our homeland may be in danger, let alone expanding the living space of the Yamato nation." Prime Minister of the Navy Kato Shiro immediately struck while the iron was hot and took advantage of every opportunity.  The Prime Minister of the Ministry of War, Hirano Shaoqi, who was sitting opposite him, immediately darkened his face when he heard this, but could not speak, because of the special geographical location of the Japanese Empire.  To take a step back, the navy is indeed the most important branch of the Yamato nation. They will be the most powerful and suitable existence to guard Japan.  Because Japan’s territory is small and there is no strategic depth to speak of, once they use a powerful navy as a barrier, disaster for this nation will come.  "Well, I will report this to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, but first of all, what we need to find out is which country's underwater force is attacking us?" Prime Minister Minoru Saito nodded.  "Very good, I fully support Prime Minister Saito's decision, and our navy will fully cooperate with you in this investigation." Kato Shiro said happily.  Although the losses were heavy, in order not to affect the confidence of the domestic people and cause great panic and unnecessary trouble.  Saito Minoru and his subordinates tightly sealed the news.  ………………………Three days later, inside the Dalian Lushun Military Port.  The fifty xxi submarines all returned smoothly without any accident, looking at our own submarines parked neatly in the port.  The officers and soldiers waiting at the scene had already cheered in unison with great excitement.  The officers and soldiers in the submarine also climbed onto the hull one after another, took off their military hats and waved their hats to greet the crowd.  "Report, Chief, Attendant, Task Force Jiaolong has successfully completed the mission you assigned us and completely annihilated a Japanese fleet. We are hereby returning. Please give us your instructions." Wang Yunhai and Liu Yuntao walked away surrounded by Ives and others.  He came over and saluted Zhang Xinghan and others.  "Very good, brothers, you have completed this mission very well. I am proud of you for arriving. Not only have you made history, you are also the heroes of our Chinese nation!" Zhang Xinghan straightened his body and shouted loudly from the bottom of his heart.  Saluted.  "Mr. Ives, for our submarine force to have such outstanding results this time, you and your partners are also indispensable. I will reward everyone well later!" Zhang Xinghan, Ives and others paid tribute.  After saluting, he said with a smile.  "You're welcome, General. Your subordinates are the most loyal and courageous subordinates I have ever seen. Similarly, your naval submarines are the most outstanding in all aspects. With him??, it’s hard not to win the battle.  "Ives seemed serious, and seemed to be jokingly teasing the East Bank. "Okay, Mr. Ives has given you the award. Come on, let's go back first. I have prepared a celebration banquet for everyone, so that you can wash away the dust and celebrate your success!  "Zhang Xinghan immediately waved his hand and said. "In order to commend the outstanding performance of the Jiaolong Task Force this time, Zhang Xinghan gave each of them a reward of 100 yuan after the meal. At the same time, he gave them three days off to let them rest and relax.  After all, they have been working in the submarine for more than a week. The environment in the submarine is so dark and humid that even the most advanced Xxi submarine cannot be any better than other submarines.  It is the first time to fight underwater for more than a week. This is extremely tiring and stressful for the officers and soldiers of Task Force Jiaolong. It is necessary for them to relax and unwind. (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 402: Katyusha Rocket Launcher

    All the officers and soldiers of Task Force Jiaolong were on vacation, and the logistics staff also began to replenish fuel, recharge, and torpedoes for the fifty Xxi submarines.  After Zhang Xinghan encouraged them, he and Jiang Baili took a plane back to Jilin City.  In order to maintain the mystery of the Jiaolong Task Force, Zhang Xinghan did not report this glorious victory to the Northeast Times.  So on the territory of the Northeast Border Guard, everything is calm and everything is as usual.  After staying in Jilin for two days, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Jiang Baili, arrived in Harbin. Then, together with Gao Chu and others, they began to visit various garrison units in North Manchuria, especially the garrison units along the border.  A few days later, Zhang Xinghan and his party took a train from Jiamusi to the Jixi area, which borders the Soviet Union and is stationed with two heavy artillery regiments and two infantry regiments.  Arriving at the artillery regiment's position for inspection, Gao Chu reported and explained from time to time: "General, these are the two artillery regiments adapted from the first part of our 5th artillery brigade. Lao Maozi advocates artillery fire, artillery  The firepower is quite fierce, so in order to block their attack and not be beaten by their superior artillery fire, we have deployed a considerable number of artillery troops in various major areas along the border." Zhang Xinghan heard this.  He nodded and asked casually: "Have we had any major conflicts with Lao Maozi recently?" Gao Chu quickly replied: "There are no major military conflicts. Both sides are trying their best to exercise restraint, but small conflicts are constant. Occasionally we  Both sides will engage in some artillery battles, and there will be more cold shots on both sides. "What's the result?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Gao Chu shook his head slightly and frowned: "It can't be said that we are at a disadvantage, but we are definitely not taking advantage. Lao Maozi's 122 artillery is much stronger than our 105mm artillery, both in terms of power and range. At the same time, they are also equipped with quite a lot of equipment.  A large number of 155mm and 230mm large-caliber heavy artillery. " "That's it." Zhang Xinghan looked around thoughtfully, took a few steps forward, and suddenly said: "It seems that we have to find a way to strengthen our artillery strength.  "What do you mean by the chief officer's intention to expand the artillery force?" Gao Chu asked in confusion.  Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "No, our artillery is not small in a small place like Jixi. It is quite a lot for one person to deploy two heavy artillery regiments. What we need to improve now is the performance of the artillery, and  "It's not about quantity, it's about quality improvement." "What do you mean, the commander-in-chief, is to equip the artillery unit with new advanced artillery?" Gao Chu's eyes lit up.  "Well, I will find a solution as soon as possible and replace our artillery unit with more advanced and more powerful artillery to improve the strength of our artillery unit. To ensure that we will not be at a disadvantage in the future artillery battle with Lao Maozi.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded to the east coast.  "That's great. When it comes to tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft, Lao Maozi is definitely not our opponent now. But when it comes to artillery fire, there is still a considerable gap between us and the Soviet army that believes in artillery doctrine. After all, we are  We are facing only one of their Far East Military Region troops, not the entire Soviet army in the entire Soviet Union." Gao Chudao.  "Lao Maozi's current domestic situation is not stable. In addition, Europe is currently turbulent. After suffering two big losses from us, I think it is impossible for them to launch the same attack on us in the past without a suitable opportunity in a short period of time.  A large-scale attack. Maybe. When the time comes and the opportunity comes, Lao Maozi will organize a large-scale attack that is far greater than before. No matter whether or when this day comes, we must be fully prepared.  To prevent being caught off guard when war comes in the future," Zhang Xinghan said.  Gao Chu, Jiang Baili and others nodded in disbelief.  Two days later, a batch of new artillery was transported to Jixi County via railway lines.  Jiang Baili has already returned to Youlin and took charge of the headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan was accompanied by Gao Chu and others, and then continued to inspect the garrison in Manzhouli and other places.  On the train station platform in Jixi County, Gao Chu looked at the unfamiliar artillery pulled on the train. He stepped forward to take a look, then turned to look at Zhang Xinghan in confusion and asked: "Maintain, what kind of artillery is this?"  Why are there so many cannon barrels? They look like iron cannon barrels." Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette.  He took a sip and said, "This is a multiple-barreled self-propelled rocket launcher." "Self-propelled rocket launcher?" Gao Chu was surprised when he heard this.  "Yes, it is a self-propelled rocket launcher. It has excellent mobile cross-country capabilities." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Its official model??bm-13, this is a multi-track self-propelled rocket launcher.  There are 8 launch rails in total.  A single salvo can fire 16 rockets with a caliber of 132 mm, with a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers. It can be fired singly, in partial bursts, or in one salvo. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to load the ammunition for a salvo.  A salvo only takes 7 to 10 seconds.  The speed of the transport vehicle is 90 kilometers per hour.  The gun has ferocious firepower and a large killing range. It is an effective weapon for destroying dense enemy troops in a large area, suppressing enemy firepower distribution and destroying enemy fortifications.  " "132mm caliber?  Can you fire sixteen rounds at once?  !  "The boss Gao Chu opened his mouth with a look of surprise. "Yes, how about it? Such a large caliber is larger than our 105mm main model howitzer and Lao Maozi's 122 rocket launcher, right?  "Zhang Xinghan said with a smile while holding a cigarette in his mouth. "Big, absolutely big!  Gao Chu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Especially with its rate of fire. In less than ten seconds, one artillery fires 16 rounds. This firepower is so intensive."  One gun is equivalent to sixteen other artillery guns, and its rate of fire is extremely amazing. If we can equip a battalion of this self-propelled rocket launcher, its power will definitely exceed our existing two 105mm howitzer regiments!  " "Yes, it is a rocket launcher used to suppress the enemy with a large-scale salvo of powerful firepower and kill the enemy's vitality.  It is a powerful weapon against large-scale enemy group attacks and some simple defenses.  As long as the troops on the eastern defense line of North Manchuria can be equipped with more than 300 self-propelled rocket launchers, the artillery firepower alone will be enough to blast all the old Maozi on the other side into the sky.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded. "Then the commander-in-chief means that he plans to equip each of my troops on the eastern front with 300 rocket launchers?  "Gao Chu was very excited. One gun is equivalent to sixteen ordinary artillery pieces. Three hundred guns are equivalent to 4,800 artillery pieces. And the caliber of this gun has reached an astonishing 132mm. There is another good one.  The advantage is that it can be loaded on a truck, can maneuver quickly, can quickly support any location on the battlefield, and can flexibly avoid the enemy's possible retaliatory strikes from 4,800 ultra-fast-firing artillery pieces, plus its own defensive troops.  The original artillery force, our own Northern Manchu Army, was equipped with almost seven or eight thousand large and small artillery pieces on the eastern border alone. Thinking of this, Gao Chu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghan didn't.  She glanced at him angrily and said, "You have a pretty good idea, do you know how expensive this artillery is?  Three months, I’ll give you a hundred doors a month!  "It's not Zhang Xinghan's intention to do this. In fact, the Katyusha rocket launcher, Xxi submarine, and B-17 Flying Fortress bomber are all epoch-making products. "The price is extremely expensive, and Zhang Xinghan's enemy-killing value is running out, so he must keep some reserves at any time.  A sudden war is possible, right? So, the Ka Qiusha rocket launcher is being produced in batches based entirely on the enemy kill value obtained by the Jiaolong Task Force’s annihilation of a Japanese fleet this time.  Gao Chu was a little disappointed, but he was still very happy and said: "One hundred doors, one hundred doors, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are."  " "I said Gao Chu, you kid, don't complain to me. This bm-13 rocket launcher belongs to our Northeast Border Guard and your North Manchurian Border Guard is the first batch of units to be commissioned. Scorpions are the only ones to shit.  Other units, not even the 2nd Army, which has an extremely important strategic location, are not equipped.  I give you absolute priority just to help you cope with the pressure of artillery fire that you may face at any time.  " Zhang Xinghan shouted angrily. Gao Chu immediately scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Let's just say, the president is still the best to us. Who calls us his old subordinates?  " Seeing Zhang Xinghan raising his foot to kick himself, Gao Chu quickly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, the manager, does this thing have a Chinese name for us? It's both a number and a Western name. It's hard to remember.  Stop talking!  " "Yes, its Chinese name is ka Qiusha rocket launcher.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Katyusha?  Why does this name sound like a girl?  "Gao Chu was a little surprised. "Okay, stop talking so much nonsense, let the troops unload the goods quickly, and when you're done, follow me to Manzhouli and Hailar for inspection.  That side is full of flat grasslands, which is much easier for the enemy to break through than the eastern front, and is more dangerous.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hands pretending to be impatient. Gao Chu put away his smile, immediately stood up and said: "Yes!  " Zhang Xinghan stayed in Jixi for another two days, helping the artillery unit study and learn how to use the Katyusha. Although the cannons were different and the calibers were different, the artillery was still the same. After two days, the artillery unit's  The officers and soldiers are already able to use it reluctantly, and they have basically mastered it. Anyway, there are plenty of artillery shells.Just let them practice live ammunition as much as they can without fear of not being able to practice.  After finishing the Katyusha rocket, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Gao Chu and others, took the train back to Jiamusi, boarded a C-47 transport plane from the Jiamusi Military Airport, and flew directly to Hailar in the Hulunbuir Prairie.  PS: This is the third update. I have to practice driving and take the test tomorrow. If there is no update, I will make up for it by updating it the day after tomorrow. Of course, I will try my best to update it.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 403: Inspecting the Border Defense

    Due to the special geographical environment of the Hulunbuir Prairie, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's garrison here is mostly composed of tank and armored vehicle units and armored mechanized infantry divisions.  As we all know, the border of Manzhouli is covered with vast grasslands. In ancient times, this was a paradise battlefield for cavalry.  Nowadays, with the development of modern warfare, cavalry has basically withdrawn from the war stage, replaced by tanks and armored vehicles.  Confronting the Northeastern Border Guards is the Soviet Army, which is eyeing the Soviet Union. After suffering losses in the last two frictions, the Soviet Army began to increase the deployment of its tanks and armored forces in the Far East, especially in the direction of Manchuria. Therefore, if it wants to hold the Manzhouli defense line, it must have enough strength.  Only tanks and armored units will do.  Zhang Xinghan came to inspect the North Manchu defense line this time because it will be on the defensive for a long time to come.  Therefore, it is necessary to conduct on-site inspections in order to make the best assessment of defense capabilities and determine where they need to be strengthened.  The Northeast Frontier Defense Force has built a military airport in Hailar. The straight-line distance between Harbin and Hailar is more than 640 kilometers. Accompanied by Gao Chu, Guo Zhong and others, Zhang Xinghan finally arrived at the airport after more than two hours of flight.  Under the escort of four Zero fighter jets, a C-47 transport plane took the lead in landing.  The commander of Hailar City Defense and the commander of the 216th garrison division and other officers had been waiting at the airport for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan’s plane arriving, they all stepped forward to salute and greet him.  After some pleasantries, Zhang Xinghan, Gao Chu and others boarded the car prepared by the garrison officers and left the airport. They came to the train station, boarded the special train that had been arranged and went straight to the most important defensive position on the front line.  Leaving Manzhouli.  Hailar is located in the hinterland of the Hulunbuir Prairie, where the second line of defense is located. The real first line of defense is in Manchuria, so where is the top priority for the border defense troops to be stationed.  The train traveled quickly, and it took six hours.  Finally arrived at Manzhouli Railway Station.  The garrison here has already received the news, and the station is surrounded by a large number of heavily armed soldiers.  After getting off the train and arriving at a tank regiment station, Gao Chu introduced: "General, we have deployed a total of two tank regiments in Manchuria, two hundred Panzer IV tanks, plus an anti-aircraft artillery anti-aircraft battalion and four mechanized infantry regiments.  " Seeing Zhang Xinghan nodded, Gao Chu paused and continued: " Along the railway line from the rear of Manchuria to Hailar, we still have three mechanized infantry regiments and three air defense regiments totaling nine battalions, and Hailar still has one hundred and fifty.  Ten tanks and seven mechanized infantry battalions and two regiments of city defense troops. The total strength is about 50,000. "As the first batch of defense troops, the number of tanks and infantry and air defense troops is sufficient."  Even if we can't repel the enemy's large-scale attack independently, it will be enough to hold on until reinforcements from our rear arrive." Zhang Xinghan's words caused everyone in the room to nod.  "But" Zhang Xinghan changed the topic and frowned.  "But what?" Gao Chu looked at him doubtfully.  "But, I always feel like something is missing." Zhang Xinghan frowned and fell into deep thought.  "What's missing?" Gao Chu scratched his head in confusion. "What does the main seat mean?"  " Suddenly, Zhang Xinghan clapped his hands and said, "I remembered that we lack an air force in Hailar.  " " Air force?  "Gao Chu said in confusion: "General Officer, we have deployed a fighter group and a bomber group in Qiqihar. Once a war breaks out in Manchuria, they can come for reinforcements in the shortest possible time.  Is there still a lack of air force?  " Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "To deal with the enemy's air force attack, these two fighter and bomber groups are enough to deal with it.  But what I’m talking about is not a threat from the air force. The air force has never been the Soviet army’s strength, and it is on this endless prairie.  The enemy's greatest threat to us is their astonishing number of cheap tanks and vehicles.  Although our tanks have outstanding performance, they certainly cannot catch up with the Soviet army in terms of numbers. Therefore, we need a group of air forces that can restrain the torrent of enemy ground armor.  " Gao Chu suddenly realized: "Could the chief officer be talking about the Stuka dive bombers equipped by our air force?  "    "right.  This is a weapon for ground attack, especially against enemy ground tanks and armored forces. It is their biggest nemesis and threat.  Zhang Xinghan said excitedly: "If we can deploy a Stuka dive bomber force in Hailar."  Once Manzhouli is attacked by the enemy's ground steel torrent.  They can take off in the shortest time and give us a place??The defense forces use super firepower support to launch rapid air strikes against the enemy, thereby containing the enemy's attack.  " "Well, it all makes sense.  "Gao Chu nodded and said: "However, now the main force of our air force has been deployed to Goryeo and South Manchuria, outside the Pass and the northwest region, which is slightly insufficient!  " Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "I will find a way to solve this as soon as possible. Okay, summon all the officers at the company level and above, and I will give them a speech!  "    "yes.  Gao Chu nodded and saluted: "I will send someone to make arrangements immediately."  ” ……………………… Two days later, Jilin City Military Airport. One hundred and fifty brand-new Stuka dive bombers were neatly arranged on the tarmac. Around the aircraft, hundreds of ground crews  The aircraft is undergoing refueling and final inspection before take-off. These are the Stuka bombers that Zhang Xinghan has just produced. They will be deployed to the Hulunbuir border to deal with the current Soviet air force pilots.  The number has exceeded 5,000, including more than 2,000 front-line pilots and more than 3,000 trainee and reserve pilots. The aviation class of Longxing Military Academy is also constantly recruiting new pilots, with the final addition of ground staff.  After the preparations were completed, one hundred and fifty Stuka dive bombers began to take off one after another, and soon they all disappeared deep in the clouds. After seeing off these dive bombers, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong drove back to the headquarters.  After entering, another car drove up outside. The door opened, and the logistics director Zang Shiyi ran over with an excited look on his face.  "Zang Shiyi waved to Zhang Xinghan excitedly. Zhang Xinghan asked: "What's the matter with Minister Zang?  " "Chief, I just got the news.  All the farmland in Yongji County that has used fertilizer produced by our fertilizer factory has had a bumper harvest this year. The yield per mu in some cases has even reached 900 kilograms, and the average yield per mu is nearly 700 kilograms!  "Zang Shiyi said excitedly. Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really?  So our fertilizer is successful?  " "Yes, it's very successful. Today's grain output per mu has increased by several hundred kilograms compared with before. If our four eastern provinces, no, if all nine provinces and three cities in our base area can use this kind of fertilizer, then we will not be afraid of the people in the future.  Not enough to eat.  Don’t be afraid of tight military ration supplies!  "Zang Shiyi nodded. "Okay, great.  Zhang Xinghan was very happy, rubbed his hands repeatedly, and said: "In this case, you can immediately arrange to promote the use of our existing fertilizers in Jilin, Changchun, Shenyang and other places and their surrounding areas."  In addition, we are preparing to build more fertilizer plants immediately. As for the funds, we can raise funds from wealthy businessmen and landlords in various places by investing in shares.  All in all, we must enable the use of chemical fertilizers on farmland in all areas of our base within the shortest possible time to improve our food production capacity.  " "Yes, I'll do it right away.  Once the news of the great harvest in Yongji County spreads, our fertilizer supply will soon exceed demand. There is a huge opportunity to raise funds to build a new fertilizer manufacturer, so I think it should not be a problem.  "Zang Shiyi also nodded excitedly. ……………………… Tokyo. Prime Minister's Office. "Everyone, after these days of full investigation by the Special High School, we have synthesized all aspects of intelligence.  A preliminary judgment has been made about the attack on our navy's Sichuan Yun fleet.  "Prime Minister Saito Minoru said to the subordinates present with a solemn expression. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I don't know whether it was the British or the Americans who did it?  "Navy Prime Minister Kato Shiro asked impatiently. Hirano Shaoqi and others also looked at him expectantly. Saito Minoru shook his head and said: "It is certain that this matter cannot be done by the United States and Britain. They  Although the overall strength of the navy is stronger than ours, the gap between the two sides is not so big.  “To wipe out our well-equipped and well-trained naval fleet in less than a day, and only with the underwater submarine force, the submarine forces of the British and American navies do not have this strength.  " "Which country did it?  "Katen Shiro was confused and puzzled. "According to the information obtained by our special high school, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force of Zhang Xinghan of the China Army secretly formed a naval force at some point.  Therefore, our intelligence agency believes that the navy that attacked the Imperial Navy was most likely the navy of the Northeast China Border Guard Force.  Saito said sadly, as if he were mourning his concubine. "What?"  Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force actually formed a navy?  "All the Japanese cabinet members present were shocked. Navy Prime Minister Jiateng SiLang was even more horrified and asked: "Why haven't we received the news? What does our intelligence department do?" Saito Minoru said with an ugly face: "The enemy is on tight guard, but this is indeed a serious dereliction of duty by the Special High School.  "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, that's not right. Even if the Chinese secretly formed a navy, it would be impossible for them to develop such a powerful naval submarine force in such a short period of time, right?" Army Prime Minister Hirano Shaoqi made a pun.  The way.  There is a secret mockery of the uselessness of the navy.  Kato Shiro is so shrewd, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of Hirano Shaoqi's words, and immediately counterattacked: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Hirano-kun is right, it is impossible for the Chinese people to develop such a powerful force in such a short period of time."  "I think this cannot be done by the China Navy, but their army, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force headed by Zhang Xinghan, is still a serious problem for the empire, a great shame for the empire." ps: Sorry, I was attacked again yesterday!  An urgent notice went to the county seat. I thought I could rest for a few days after taking the second subject, but I didn't expect the arrangement to be so urgent, so I didn't have time to update.  I have to go to a driving school tomorrow, so I can only update once a day in the past few days. I will try my best to make up for it when I come back from my busy days.

    "Katen Shiro, what do you mean by this?" Hirano Shaoqi suddenly couldn't sit still, and stood up with a red face and a thick neck.  .??????Kato Shiro glanced at him lightly and said: "It's not interesting, Hirano-kun, don't you think what I said is not the truth? Whether it is the loss of the entire Manchuria or the fall of Goryeo, it will become the greatest loss in the history of the Japanese Empire.  A page of shame, a shame for our entire Yamato nation! " "Youyou" Hirano Shaoqi's face turned red, he was so angry that he was about to run away.  Saito Minoru, who was sitting in the first place, quickly stood up and waved his hands to stop him: "That's enough, you two, now is the most difficult period for the empire. We are suffering from the greatest threat in history. I don't want to see you continue to quarrel. We need  Unite, unite, do you understand?" Hirano Shaoqi and Kato Shiro quickly lowered their heads: "Hai!" After Hirano Shaoqi sat down again, Saito said seriously: "Hirano-kun, Kato-kun, the current situation is critical.  , our navy’s dominance in Asia has been seriously threatened. This means that in the Pacific waters, the imperial fleet, merchant ships, fishing boats and other vessels will most likely be attacked by this unknown naval force.  Of course, for the time being, we can regard them as the navy of the China Army. I think you all understand the foreign import needs of various strategic materials and raw materials of our Japanese Empire, so the safety of sea lanes is the most important. Otherwise, the safety of sea lanes is the most important.  Our Japanese Empire will fall into a state of catastrophe." After saying this, Saito Minoru looked at the people present with a solemn expression and said: "Therefore, everyone, I have decided that we must increase investment in the development of the navy to ensure that.  Similar tragic events will never happen again, ensuring that the Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet continues to maintain its dominance in Asian waters!" As soon as Saito Minoru said this, the expressions of everyone present changed, and all the Navy officials headed by Kato Shiro were happy.  The Army Ministry officials headed by Hirano Shaoqi were shocked, and Hirano Shaoqi even stood up.  But before he could speak, Saito Minoru waved his hands and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Hirano-kun, you don't need to say more, everything must be based on the vital interests of the Yamato nation. I have already discussed this matter before coming here."  With the consent of His Majesty the Emperor." After hearing this, Hirano Shaoqi's face turned pale, and he sat back in his seat as dejectedly as a deflated balloon.  No longer as energetic as before, Shiro Katou was ecstatic. He led all his colleagues to stand up straight and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire of Japan!" The meeting quickly broke up.  Compared with Shiro Kato and other naval officers who were energetic and refreshed, Hirano Shaoqi and his party were all downcast, like roosters that had been defeated in a fight.  Although they were deeply dissatisfied and unwilling, His Majesty the Emperor had already spoken, and they did not dare to object face to face.  The Emperor has been deified in the hearts of the entire Japanese people. He is a god-like existence, and no one dares to violate the Emperor's will.  With Zhang Xinghan’s full support, Zang Shiyi successively prepared to build fertilizer plants in Changchun, Shenyang, Harbin and other places, and several fertilizer plants were under construction at the same time.  The fertilizers accumulated by the Jilin Longtan Fertilizer Factory over the past year have already been purchased by nearby landowners and common people.  There is a huge demand for chemical fertilizers in various places in the Northeast Frontier Defense Army base areas, especially in the three northeastern provinces outside the customs. For a time, in places such as Liaoning, Jilin, and other places, fertilizers fell into a tight supply situation that was hard to find.  The employees of Longtan Fertilizer Factory worked overtime 24 hours a day, and the fertilizer produced was bought by buyers waiting in line as soon as it left the workshop.  Zang Shiyi and other logistics department officials were very busy.  In the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters in Jilin City, Zhang Xinghan was drinking tea and listening to Jiang Baili's excited report.  When such a situation occurred, everything was as expected by Zhang Xinghan, and he did not show too much surprise or surprise.  Instead, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Chief of Staff, let's tell Zang Shiyi that we can postpone the construction of our military factories for a while and concentrate our financial and material resources to build our new fertilizer factory." "Well,  That's fine, now that all the equipment in the arsenal is ready, it will be a matter of time before it goes into production. However, the demand for fertilizers is huge and the supply is extremely tight," Jiang Baili said.  "Promoting the production and supply of chemical fertilizers will not only increase our profits, but also increase the grain production in the entire base area of ??nine provinces and four cities. During the war, grain is more precious than gold! As long as our grain production increases, we will  Only by doing this can our industry and military industry develop better and remain invincible.??Zhang Xinghan nodded.  After Jiang Baili had arranged everything that Zhang Xinghan had told him one by one, when he came back, he found Zhang Xinghan meditating in front of the map.  She didn’t even seem to notice his footsteps coming back.  "Chief, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Baili came up behind Zhang Xinghan and asked.  "Now that everything in our base is on track, it's time to launch another air raid on Japan." Zhang Xinghan said with great ambition.  Jiang Baili nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, after this period of rest, the special air strike force should be ready to attack again. It's time." No one who is not a modern person can understand what Zhang Xinghan said to the Japanese.  Disgusted and hated.  As a special forces soldier in his previous life, it was only after he and his comrades visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall that he truly experienced the unprecedented pain and national hatred.  A deep sense of hatred and shame motivates each of them.  Now he has come to this time and space in the 1930s by accident, and has the ability to avenge the 30 million Chinese compatriots who died in that time and space. Naturally, he will spare no effort to do it.  What’s more, defeating Japanese militarism is still a top priority that affects whether the Chinese nation can truly rise again. ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If the Chinese nation wants to achieve great rejuvenation and once again rise to become a world-class superpower, Japan, a small country, must be eliminated.  The elimination here is not the elimination of barbaric acts of destruction, but the elimination of their militaristic regime and any fanatical militants hostile to China.  Completely defeat them militarily, turn them into a low-income country, and then support pro-China regimes to rule as puppets.  Therefore, continued bombing and air strikes against Japan are only a prelude to annihilating Japan.  "However, this attack on the Japanese mainland should not be a simple air raid and bombing operation. Our submarine forces should be dispatched for joint operations. In short, as long as the Japanese port terminals, shipping merchant ships, and warships fly the Japanese flag  The ships and facilities are all targets we need to attack." Zhang Xinghan said, "Tell the Jiaolong Task Force and the Air Raid Brigade to follow this order!" "Yes!" Jiang Baili stood up and stood at attention.  He responded, turned around and took the order to leave.  More than three hours later, Tokyo, Prime Minister Office.  An attendant military attache hurriedly came outside Saito Minoru's house, stopped at the door and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's bad, we just received reports from Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki. They are in less than half a mile."  Within hours, they were attacked by the China Air Force almost at the same time. The airport, dock and other facilities were severely damaged, with thousands of casualties. " "What?" Saito Minoru was furious when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and said angrily: "We.  What do the air defense troops do? Didn't I strictly ask them to prepare for air defense?" The attaché bowed his head and said nothing. He could not explain this.  It is almost impossible for Japan to do all the air defense in this era when radar is not widely used.  The Chinese [***] team has now established an air force base in Busan and can conduct air strikes on any area in Japan in less than four hours.  On the other hand, the Japanese Air Force, not to mention the fact that its fighter aircraft capabilities are seriously lagging behind, is not a match for the Northeast Frontier Force Air Force.  Even take-off operations are greatly restricted, because they do not have any fighter aircraft that can take off from their own homeland and conduct air strikes directly across the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea to directly attack the Chinese mainland.  Unless they dispatch the Navy's sea-based aviation force, but after the Kawagumo Fleet incident, the Navy would not dare to take such a risk anyway.  On the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese land-based and sea-based aviation forces are still able to carry out effective air strikes on its southern coastal areas.  But to put it bluntly, no matter how they conduct air strikes, the casualties can only be Koreans, and the Chinese [***] team will not feel sorry for them at all.  Not only is this unlikely to cause losses to the Northeastern Border Guards, but it will intensify the Korean people's hatred of the Japanese, making them more inclined to the Northeastern Border Guards.  Another point is that such a worthless and meaningless air strike will most likely be intercepted by air force fighters of the Northeast Border Guard on the Koryo Peninsula.  Once the two sides encounter each other, the consequences will be extremely terrible.  As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Saito Minoru understood this truth, so he scolded his subordinates and vented his anger.  He waved his hand to signal the attaché to leave, then reached for the phone on the table to make arrangements for the air raid.  At the same time, it is one mile away from Lushun Military Port.On the sea about a mile away, the fifty submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force were leaving the Bohai Bay at high speed.  This time Ives and a group of instructors did not follow Liu Yuntao on the expedition, but stayed at the Lushun Naval Base to continue training other submarine recruits.  In Ives’s words, after the baptism of the last successful actual combat, it is time for them to act alone in order to better hone all the officers and soldiers of the Jiaolong Task Force.  After seeing the absolutely advanced capabilities of the Xxi submarine, Ives and other instructors were relieved.  So this expedition to the sea will be a true solo expedition of the Jiaolong Task Force.  (To be continued.

    Two days later, after sailing hundreds of nautical miles, the Jiaolong task force had arrived in the Korean waters of the Sea of ??Japan.  (Note, the Japanese Sea here is not Japanese territorial sea, but the largest marginal sea located in the Western Pacific.) Along the way, the Jiaolong Task Force adopted a covert navigation method, and they have been sticking to the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula and Korea.  Peninsula coastline sailing.  Therefore, his whereabouts have always been kept secret and have not been discovered by merchant ships or warships of any country.  In fact, in today's world, as long as the submarines of Task Force Jiaolong are willing to hide, no country's navy has the ability to detect them.  In Submarine No. 002  "Island." Wang Yunhai said: "Inform No. 001 immediately. The Jiaolong task force immediately divided into five groups, a group of ten submarines, sailing around the four mainland islands of Japan from the north and south sides of Kyushu Island, waiting for opportunities to attack all hanging boats.  Ships with the Japanese plaster flag. Also, please keep in mind that any Japanese ship that appears in our field of vision, whether it is a warship, a fishing boat, or a merchant ship, will be treated like a son of a bitch.  Wherever we pass, no more Japanese ships will be allowed to sail normally on the sea. In a word, we are here to attack and destroy. We are wolves, wolves hiding in the night, and the little devils are our mouths.  Don't let any of the lambs go. " "Yes." The communication soldier stood up and responded enthusiastically, then turned around and left.  The fifty xxi submarines were quickly ordered to disperse immediately under the command of their respective team captains.  Wang Yunhai, as captain, personally led ten submarines to sail along the middle route. Not long after they entered the Japanese offshore waters of the Tsushima Strait, the leading submarine in front sent back a piece of news that excited the Jiaolong soldiers.  Three Japanese warships were discovered twenty nautical miles away, with a tonnage of about 3,000 tons.  Wang Yunhai excitedly picked up the radio and ordered: "Attention all units, the Lamb has appeared, two small destroyers and a transport supply ship. Now I order to covertly engage the enemy, attack the two destroyers first, and kill them cleanly."  !" "007 received!" "008 received!" "009 received!" The captains of the ten submarines responded quickly and issued attack orders to their subordinates.  Ten xxi submarines are approaching the target quickly like dragons in the sea.  Takeda Ogura is the captain of a light destroyer of a maritime patrol team under the First Fleet of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  He is now thirty-six years old and graduated from the Etajima Naval Academy of the Japanese Empire. This naval academy, together with the Royal Naval Academy of Great Britain and the Annapolis Naval Academy in the United Kingdom, is known as the three major naval academies in the world.  It was first opened in the Tsukiji area of ??Tokyo, and it was not until 1888 that it was moved to Etajima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Therefore, it was also directly called "Etajima", and the term "Etajima" was gradually regarded as talent training by the Japanese Navy.  Synonymous with the cradle, unlike the Army Military Academy, the Etajima Naval Academy prohibits foreigners from entering.  Representative generals with surnames during World War II: Yamaguchi Tamon (Vice Admiral), Commander of the Japanese Second Air Force, Isoroku Yamamoto (Admiral), Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Inoue Narumi (Admiral), Principal of the Naval War School, Yonai  Guangzheng (Admiral) Navy Minister.  So Takeda Ogura Colonel and Yamamoto Isoroku, the current commander of the Combined Navy First Fleet, were classmates in the same school.  At this moment, Takeda Ogura is conducting normal routine patrols in Japanese waters with two destroyers and an armed transport ship.  Since the Japanese capital Tokyo and Fukuoka and other places have been repeatedly attacked by the Northeast Border Guard Air Force, soldiers and civilians in various places have suffered heavy casualties.  The various departments of the Japanese Navy’s Combined Fleet have increased the patrol density and attendance in various territorial waters.  About fifty nautical miles away from the three warships Takeda and Kokura, there are several destroyers and anti-aircraft ships patrolling in the nearby waters.  However, without exception, their warships and sailors focused their main defense energy and attention on air defense.  Although it has experienced the annihilation of the Kawagumo fleet, in comparison, the repeated air attacks on the Japanese mainland are more important.  After all, no matter how powerful the enemy's underwater troops are, they can't possibly attack the Japanese mainland on the shore, right?  Therefore, air defense alert is the top priority. Japanese naval officers including Takeda Ogura subconsciously think so, and they do so.  The light destroyer named Nokura is the flagship of Takeda Ogura.  &nbsp;In a single room on the second floor of the ship, Takeda Ogura was lying naked on a snow-white body, shaking back and forth.  Waves of seductive gasping sounds came from beneath him.  ?The person who was gracefully kissing Takeda Ogura’s crotch was a young and beautiful Japanese comfort woman with fair skin.  Historically, in addition to the young women from other countries who were looted when Japan launched aggressive wars against other countries, the comfort women were also composed of a considerable number of women from their own countries who either voluntarily or were forced to do so.  Today, Japan has not launched a large-scale aggressive war with other countries, so comfort women are mostly local women.  These women are basically voluntary, and many of them were maidens even before they entered the army as comfort women.  The one under Takeda Ogura's crotch is one of them. Before joining the army as a military reporter, she was a quite famous female reporter in Fukuoka.  Takeda Ogura was quite obsessed with it and visited it many times.  So now, as soon as she joined the army, Takeda Ogura used his connections to get her to his side, and she almost became his personal tool to release his sexual desires.  As the touching gasps became more and more rapid, Takeda Ogura, who was in his prime, also turned red and began to breathe rapidly.  Just when he was about to let out a low roar, and was about to burst into tears, the destroyer that was originally moving smoothly suddenly made an earth-shaking loud noise.  The destroyer shook violently, and Takeda Ogura, who was nearing the peak, and the woman under his crotch fell violently from the bed to the opposite wall.  "Ouch!" The sudden change and pain shocked Takeda Ogura and the young woman, especially Takeda Ogura at this critical moment. The thing that was strong just now became as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost.  .  ??Looking down at his second brother who was slumped, the fire bombs that had been prepared in his belly could not be poured out, making Takeda Ogura extremely uncomfortable.  With a ferocious expression, he grabbed the woman's hair and pushed it towards his lower body.  Just as the woman was hesitating in fear, the door was kicked open, and a Japanese major hurriedly ran in with a saber in his hand.  Although he was stunned by the sight in front of him, following Takeda Ogura's almost roaring roar, he quickly stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to Sir Colonel, it's not good, we were hit by a torpedo, and the front of the ship has been flooded.  " "What?" Takeda Ogura couldn't regain his glory no matter how much the woman took care of him. He was even more shocked when he was in trouble. He stood up and asked, regardless of the pain caused by the woman's little mouth.  "Xiaolin-kun, what did you say? We were hit?" "Yes, sir, not only were we hit by torpedoes, but the other two ships were also hit by torpedoes almost at the same time, and they were all hit." A man named Xiaolin  The Japanese Major lowered his head and said.  "Baga! Baga Yalu!" Takeda Ogura felt uncomfortable in his stomach and was angry. He suddenly roared like crazy: "Order all officers and soldiers to immediately throw depth charges to kill those damn sneak attackers!" "But,  Sir, our warship has taken on water, and the enemy is likely to attack again. You should abandon the ship as soon as possible!" Major Kobayashi advised hurriedly.  "Baga!" Takeda Ogura was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Major Kobayashi to the ground. He ran to Chuanmi in three and two steps, pulled out his Sakan sword, and roared with a ferocious face: "  The order is passed, and all the warriors of the Imperial Army swear to live and die with the warship, and to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor to the end. Please carry out the order! " "Hai!" Major Kobayashi stood up in a hurry, lowered his head suddenly, and then quickly turned and left.  After Major Kobayashi left in embarrassment, Takeda Ogura turned around and looked at the bewildered young woman with cold and fierce eyes.  Looking at the snow-white plump body, the corners of Takeda Ogura's mouth twitched, and murderous intent filled his eyes.  Sensing the killing intent in Takeda Ogura's eyes, the young woman shook her head in horror and begged: "No, don't kill me" Takeda Ogura turned a deaf ear, took two steps forward, and stabbed the Sakanana sword in his hand with a pop.  The sharp Saguan knife penetrated the young woman's body.  As he pulled out the red Zuoguan knife, the young woman fell in the corner, and the bright red blood quickly flowed all over the ground.  Takeda Ogura licked the blood from the knife with a ferocious expression, and said with extreme indifference: "Sakurako, you are my woman, you should accompany me to serve His Majesty the Emperor until death!" "Boom" At this moment,  There was another loud noise, and it turned out that another torpedo hit the destroyer Nokuri.  After being hit by two bombs, the Nozo, which weighed less than 4,000 tons, suddenly exploded violently. Major Kobayashi's order had just been conveyed, and the panicked Japanese sailors on the ship had not yet had time to throw depth bombs into the water.  Was swallowed up by violent continuous explosionsBefore Takeda Ogura could get out of the room, he was drowned in raging fire.  Looking at the three Japanese warships that were completely destroyed and exploded one after another, Liu Yuntao's eyes were filled with the excitement of victory. He raised his arms and ordered loudly: "Brothers, well done! Evacuate immediately and continue to search for prey!" "Received  !" "Received!" "Received!" An excited response echoed through the communicator.  PS: I’ll give you an update early. I’ll try my best to code today. Please supervise me!  It’s not easy. After so many days of continuous struggle, I finally got my driver’s license. The last three tests were taken in succession. It’s hard to describe the hardships.

    At noon, I was typing, my wife was cooking, and my son was playing with the family’s puppy in the yard. He was bitten in an accident. I wanted to raise a puppy as a playmate for my son, but I almost made a big mistake.  .  When I arrived at the township hospital, I was told that they could not vaccinate here (my son was under two years old). Then I took a car to the county seat. When I arrived at the emergency center hospital, I was told that I was going to the epidemic prevention station. I took a taxi to the epidemic prevention station, and then when I arrived at the epidemic prevention station, I was told to vaccinate again.  The vaccine has been moved to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Having no choice but to rush all the way to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, my son was finally vaccinated and given medicine in time.  It was completely dark when I got home. I have been busy and busy all day today. I just made some food and I am really exhausted both physically and mentally. I want to take a rest tonight and comfort my son who is still in shock.  Get up early tomorrow and try your best to code!  Alas, everything is not going well and I am really depressed Finally, I have to complain about the current public hospitals.

    Jilin City, Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters.  . It is July, and in the early morning, thousands of rays of sunlight shine through the towering trees near the headquarters and shine into the yard, making the already hot weather even hotter.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting on a Taishi chair holding a cattail leaf fan, enjoying the coolness under the tree and drinking tea.  At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. Zhang Xinghan looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Chief of Staff Jiang Baili and Commander of the Fourth Group Army Zhao Zhenfan stepping in.  Zhang Xinghan took a sip of herbal tea, placed the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table, stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Baili, Guoping, you are here!" Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan stood up at the same time and saluted: "General seat, Guoping  Ping was ordered to come and report!" After the two sides shook hands, Zhang Xinghan turned and shouted: "Zhongzi, bring two more chairs!" "Yes" Guo Zhong, the personal adjutant and commander of the security battalion, responded happily, holding them in one hand.  A chair came out.  He placed it on the lower left side of Zhang Xinghan and said respectfully to Jiang and Zhao: "Please sit down, both of you." After the three of them sat down, Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "Baili, the Jiaolong Task Force sent back news not long ago. They  In the past half month, more than 30 Japanese ships have been sunk, including merchant ships, fishing boats and warships, and they have achieved a brilliant victory of destroying enemy ships and materials with a total tonnage of over one million. " Jiang Baili and  When Zhao Zhenfan heard this, he looked excited and beamed with joy.  "Great, this will definitely cause immeasurable losses to the Japanese invaders. If such results can last for half a year, then the entire Japanese country will not attack itself." Jiang Baili said with excitement in his eyes.  "What Shenzuo said is true. Japan is an island country with a lack of resources. All strategic materials need to be imported from overseas. If we can block their sea transportation lines, we can choke them. Japan is not enough.  It's for fear!" Zhao Zhenfan nodded.  "What you two are saying makes sense, but to achieve this strategic goal, our strength is far from enough for the time being." Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said.  "Oh? What do you say, sir?" Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other.  "Because the main island of Japan is located in the Pacific Ocean, which is different from the Atlantic Ocean. If the target of our blockade is the British and other European island countries, we only need to block the Atlantic Ocean, because they have fixed shipping lanes in the Atlantic Ocean. And Japan's offshore sea is close to the vast  In the boundless North Pacific, they can change their routes at will to avoid possible attacks by our submarine force. Unless we now have a thousand submarines, it will be difficult to truly block Japan's foreign trade and communications. And we only have one now.  The 50 xxi submarines can only be used to cause threats and losses as much as possible, which will increase the import costs of Japan, and there is no risk." Zhang Xinghan explained briefly.  In fact, these are not what Zhang Xinghan is most worried about. He does not lack submarines. What he lacks are sailors who can skillfully operate submarines. Training them takes time. Therefore, over time, his submarine force will exceed a thousand.  Sooner or later.  However, if Japan is really blocked by the submarine force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, who knows if there will be any movement from Europe and the United States and other countries?  You must know that the current war potential of the United States is already ranked first in the world. Although its navy is still not as large as that of the United Kingdom, its sustained war capability has long surpassed the British Empire and has become the de facto world's number one power.  “Whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, they do not want China to be truly unified and strong.  Because a complete and powerful Chinese nation is not in line with their interests in the Far East and Asia.  That’s why since the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Britain, the United States, France, and Japan have each supported warlords in various parts of China, and have achieved their sinister strategic purpose of continuing to invade China and plunge it into a quagmire of melee and civil war for a long time.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan is worried that once China is discovered, to be precise, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force headed by himself is becoming extremely powerful. Will Britain, the United States, France and other European and American powers intervene to help the Japanese fight against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force?  .  You know, Zhang Xinghan now owns the Koryo Peninsula, the Liaodong Peninsula, the five northwest provinces, Pingjin, Baoding and Cangzhou, with a base area of ??millions of square kilometers and a population of tens of millions.  “The strength has become the dominant force in Northeast Asia, and in order to take back the railway rights in China, the Northeast Border Guards also forged a mortal feud with the Japanese.  In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Xinghan now has a vast territory, millions of armored men under his command, strong soldiers and horses, and has the potential to sweep southward and unify China.  "If the great powers of Britain, the United States, and France will support Japan, then it does not rule out that they will support us."?Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan, and the New Guangxi Clique and other central and local powerful factions to counter Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  To prevent China from completing its unification and moving toward rejuvenation.  Seeing the worry on Zhang Xinghan's eyebrows, Jiang Baili asked tentatively: "Master, are you worried about anything?" Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and spoke out his worries in a serious voice.  After listening to this, Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan gently nodded and said: "The chief has a long-term plan. This is not impossible, but I don't know how we should deal with it?" "Concentrate our strength to destroy Japan first, and then develop. If we want to wait,  The Americans and British have made the decision to support Japan. If we want to land on the Japanese islands again, it will be difficult to do so, and it will probably be impossible to do so," Zhang Xinghan said resolutely.  Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan were slightly startled and said: "However, Commander-in-Chief, our naval strength is still weak at the moment. Is it too early to cross the sea at this time and the risk is too great?" "Of course I know this, it's just a matter of time.  Don't wait for me." Zhang Xinghan said: "I have decided to launch troops against Japan in the next spring. All naval ships should be mainly developed as transport ships, and our army's aviation force and submarine Jiaolong force will escort and cover the landing troops.  The first batch of two to three motorized infantry divisions can be deployed to land. Supplemented by the air force's uninterrupted air fire cover, the landing site will be opened and held for one night. When the second echelon of troops arrives the next day, they will then attack the Japanese defenses in depth.  Insert. As for our submarine force and naval force, we must fully resist the attack of the Japanese naval fleet to ensure the security of the rear and flanks of our army's landing force. In the next few months, we must step up our efforts.  Be prepared to quietly mobilize strategic materials of our army to the direction of Busan, and at the same time strengthen the training of the main forces, especially the navy, air force and airborne troops. The main forces of the army must quickly start intensive training for beach landing operations, and the air force will do its best.  Cooperation. It should be noted that all the above operations must be kept confidential and must not be leaked before our operation begins." Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan nodded at the same time. Zhang Xinghan did not forget to add: "The main force for this landing operation is still.  From the Southern Manchuria area of ??our Fourth Army, plus the main force of the First Army, as for the Second and Third Army, we will try our best not to mobilize them unless necessary. So Brother Guoping, you have a heavy responsibility!" Zhang Xinghan is so important!  The arrangement naturally makes sense, because in the past year or so, the Second and Fourth Group Armies of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force have given priority to replenishing their troops. All reorganized divisions have been fully staffed, and the total strength of each division has exceeded  Thirty thousand people.  The military strength has already exceeded that of the Second and Third Group Armies. Of course, this is also due to the importance of the areas where the First and Fourth Group Armies are garrisoned.  Zhao Zhenfan stood up and said solemnly: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that I and the 300,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army will do their best to complete this combat mission to the death!" After saying that, Zhao Zhenfan was about to say goodbye and leave.  "Okay, we have plenty of time, and we still have more than half a year to prepare, so you don't have to rush." ??Zhang Xinghan stood up and waved his hand to stop him, saying: "It's a rare visit, so we stayed and went to my house for a meal together.  Let’s have a casual meal, Chief of Staff, you’ll go too.” Zhao Zhenfan and Jiang Baili smiled and said, “It’s better to be respectful than to obey orders.” …………… Tokyo, Imperial Palace, Japan.  Emperor Hirohito is in the midst of a furious rage. Cabinet Prime Minister Saito Minoru is kneeling on the ground as if he were walking on thin ice. At this moment, he is silent and submissive.  The emperor's anger made the current leader of the Japanese Empire frightened and walking on thin ice.  "Saito-kun, you must give me an explanation and give an explanation to the tens of millions of people of the Yamato nation. In less than a month, the imperial army lost thousands of warriors and millions of tons."  The planned cargo and ships, if this continues, won't our naval fleet be completely exhausted soon?" Emperor Hirohito roared angrily.  Saito Minoru trembled in his heart and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, I have strictly ordered all naval departments to strengthen their preparedness. Such tragic losses should not happen again." "Baga!" Emperor Hirohito was furious and said: "Every year in the empire,  Most of the military expenditures were given to the navy. Why were they so vulnerable that they couldn't even deal with the Japanese underwater forces that caught up later?  Said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The Japanese's underwater submarines are so advanced that our imperial warships can't detect them at all!" "What? There is such a thing? What should we do? Why do the Japanese do this?  Have such an advanced submarine?" Emperor Hirohito was surprised.  "This, humble job"??There is no way to know that not even a single part of the Imperial Intelligence Department was aware of it!  Saito Minoru lowered his head and said. "Baga, what does our intelligence department do?"  A bunch of losers.  Emperor Hirohito was furious: "The imperial army must have more advanced warships to deal with Japanese submarines. Prime Minister Saito, you must solve it as soon as possible. I don't care what method you use, do you understand?"  "(To be continued.

    Saito Minoru looked embarrassed, but after noticing the awe-inspiring coldness in Emperor Hirohito's eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and responded: "Hai, I will do my best for this humble duty!" After kneeling down to say goodbye to the Empress, Saito Minoru left the palace in a car.  He went straight to the residence of his own cabinet prime minister and ordered someone to notify Prime Minister Lu. Prime Minister Hai and other cabinet ministers rushed to hold an emergency meeting.  On the Koryo Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula, Zhang Xinghan’s secret order was issued to the Fourth and First Group Armies.  More than 500,000 soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, Navy, and Air Force have intensively carried out beach landing operations drills, and the logistics departments of each army have also begun to secretly mobilize and transport grain, ammunition and other military supplies.  After nearly a month of sailing, the Jiaolong Task Force began to return to the secret base at Lushun Military Port to replenish fuel and ammunition in preparation for another attack.  For a time, the four northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula were full of military training scenes, which were unprecedentedly grand.  The morale of the officers and soldiers is high. With the training day after day, the cooperation between the recruits and the veterans becomes more and more tacit and skillful.  The combat power is improving little by little.  …………… Jilin City, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were standing next to the map discussing military affairs. Although the strategic plan to attack Japan in half a year has been finalized, the specific implementation, troop input and other matters still require careful discussion and decision-making by the two heads of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force had four army groups, one naval fleet, and one reinforced air force division.  As mentioned earlier, the formerly directly affiliated units, such as tanks, chariot units, and heavy artillery units, have been divided into four group armies according to actual needs.  As for these four group armies, Wang Yizhe's First Group Army and Zhao Zhenfan's Fourth Group Army received priority in the supply of soldiers and advanced equipment due to the needs of the garrisoned areas and situations.  Among them, the total strength of the Fourth Group Army has exceeded 300,000, and the strength of the First Group Army has also expanded from the original 120,000 to more than 250,000. In addition, the strength of the Fourth Group Army has exceeded 300,000.  There were also more than 60,000 Goryeo puppet troops who supported the puppet regime in Goryeo itself.  Not counting the air force and navy, the total strength of the two armies plus the puppet army has exceeded 600,000.  Jiang Baili pointed at the map and looked up at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Among our 600,000 troops, at least 100,000 troops should be left on the northeastern border, the border areas of the Korean Peninsula and Soviet Russia to garrison the border. In other words, they can be used for landing.  The army field force attacking the Japanese mainland can reach 400,000 troops. With the addition of 60,000 Goryeo puppet troops and navy and air force, the total troop investment will reach 600,000. "Six hundred thousand?" Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said.  "An army of 600,000 is a lot less, but if you want to truly conquer Japan, it is still somewhat insufficient!" As a time traveler from modern times, Zhang Xinghan certainly knows that if he wants to truly conquer the entire Japan, he only needs these 500,000.  People are not enough.  Because Japan’s population at this time is approximately 70 million people, if the Japanese come to fight on the mainland, they will be defeated.  The number of mobilizable troops of appropriate age can reach at least four to five million (without affecting the operation of industrial production), and this does not include the elderly, women and children.  Jiang Baili nodded with deep understanding and said: "Yes, I also feel that it is too difficult to conquer Japan with only these 600,000 troops. It might turn into Japan, and the consequences will be disastrous." Zhang Xinghan stared at the map in confusion.  After a long while, he finally made up his mind and said: "Since we cannot eat the entire Japan in one bite with our current strength, let's cut off one of its arms first!" "Breaking off one of his arms?" Jiang Baili said with a serious look in his eyes: "The one from the main seat.  Do you mean to adopt a cannibalization policy? " "Yes. I have decided to use this landing attack as an opportunity to severely damage the Japanese naval combined fleet and quickly attack the Korean Peninsula.  The 400,000-strong land, sea and air force deployed on Kyushu Island is not enough to capture the entire Japan, but it is more than enough to capture a mere Kyushu Island!" Zhang Xinghan said sternly.  Jiang Baili lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said happily: "The general is wise. Kyushu Island is the third largest island in the Japanese archipelago. If it can be captured, it will be equivalent to causing the Japanese to lose one-third of their territory and nearly 10 million people. Absolutely  It can inflict heavy damage on Japan!" Zhang Xinghan said with a fiery look in his eyes: "Moreover, Japan's considerable military and industrial industries are gathered on Kyushu Island. Nagasaki, Fukuoka and other places are important industrial bases in Japan.  Miyazaki and other places are where Japan's troops are supplied, and its most powerful Sixth Division comes from there. The most important thing is that Kyushu Island and the Koryo Peninsula are across the sea.?Completely within the effective strike range of our air force.  The landing troops can take full advantage of the air force fire support.  In addition, after capturing Kyushu Island, the forward bases of our navy, army and air force can be located on the Japanese mainland.  From now on, the entire Japanese mainland and the surrounding sea areas of hundreds of nautical miles will be covered within the strike radius of our navy and air force.  It can further effectively blockade, attack and weaken Japan.  " Jiang Baili said: "After that, we should also expand our army as soon as possible to increase the total number and combat effectiveness of our army. At the same time, we should strengthen training and develop our heavy industry and military industry.  ??Under this situation, Japan will collapse soon, and that will be the time when we all capture the four islands of Japan.  " " Capturing Japan will relieve the Chinese nation's biggest border trouble. This is just the beginning. If our Chinese nation wants to truly achieve rejuvenation, we must compete with European and American powers.  Morality and fairness are both in the hands of the party with the strongest fist. This principle still applies from ancient times to the present.  A country’s territorial integrity, independent sovereignty, and inviolability cannot be achieved by just shouting slogans. It must be fought with real swords and guns.  Only by completely defeating it militarily and frightening the surrounding European, American and Soviet powers so that they dare not spy on China's vast mountains and rivers can we talk about construction, development, and realize the great rejuvenation of our Chinese nation.  In a word, if China wants to rise, stand on top of the world again, and regain the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it must first strengthen its army.  " "It's well said. Only a strong enough army can guarantee the inviolability of the motherland!  "Jiang Baili nodded repeatedly with empathy. "That's it. Let's conquer Japan first, gather our strength for development, and then have a showdown with the old Maozi, the Yankees, and the British. We must have the final say in the Far East, and we must have the final say in the Pacific.  Asia must also have the final say.  If possible, we have the final say in the whole world.  "Zhang Xinghan paused, then changed the subject and said: "However, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan to attack Japan, starting today we should immediately launch another large-scale recruitment operation in our base areas of nine provinces and four cities.  After half a year, you can set up ten more compilations, and 250,000 to 300,000 people will come out.  After these troops are mixed with the active troops of the Second and Third Army, there will be at least 200,000 more fresh troops. In case of a critical moment of the invasion of Japan, they can join the battle as a reserve force!  " "The chief is very concerned, I will go to Minister Zang to implement it as soon as possible!  "After Jiang Baili finished speaking, he turned around and left. (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 408: The Army Gathers

    Six months passed in a blink of an eye, and both the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula ushered in the coldest winter in history.  Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are covered with snow, and everything in the world is covered in silver.  Yalu River Railway Bridge, the railway that was originally damaged by the Japanese army has been restored to smooth flow for a long time. Now it has become a strategic transportation artery connecting the Liaodong Peninsula and the Koryo Peninsula.  In the past six months or so, countless ammunition, fuel, and grain were transported from the Liaodong Peninsula and the northwest to Busan, the southernmost tip of the Koryo Peninsula, through this railway artery.  Today, the area around the Busan Military Port is already full of grain, grass and ammunition. For this sea-crossing operation, Zhang Xinghan prepared enough oil, ammunition and grain for the 600,000-strong army to consume for two months.  Suddenly there was another ear-splitting whistle on the Yalu River Railway Bridge, and a locomotive came roaring and roaring with thick blue smoke.  There are hundreds of wagons at the back, all of which are open wagons used for pulling coal and other supplies.  But this time, what was loaded on these train wagons was not the mountains of ammunition and supplies, but the last batch of Northeastern Border Guard soldiers rushing to the front line.  When I took a closer look from the air, I saw that the carriages were packed with heavily armed Northeastern Border Guard soldiers. The bright bayonets on the rifle heads and the steel helmets they carried on their backs were shining in the sunlight.  Dazzling light is reflected from the bottom, and the front of the helmet is printed with dazzling blue sky and white sun emblems.  The young faces under the helmets were full of determination, and their eyes were filled with a burning and militant brilliance.  Because Zhang Xinghan planned to fight the Japanese without declaring war this time, in order to keep it secret, the Chinese people did not know about the upcoming cross-sea expedition by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Therefore, the 600,000 soldiers of the army, navy and air force did not receive a farewell from their parents in their hometowns, and countless soldiers did not even have the opportunity to say goodbye to their relatives.  But the soldiers did not feel any sadness about this, because in their eyes, as a Chinese man and a Chinese soldier.  If you are lucky enough to participate in this Eastern Expedition of great historical significance, you will have no regrets even if you die in a foreign country!  …………… In Busan, the former headquarters of the 106th Division under the First Group Army has now been temporarily changed to the Northeast Frontier Defense Force’s former enemy headquarters.  In the headquarters, generals gathered. Wang Yizhe, commander of the First Group Army, and Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the Fourth Group Army, gathered together with the commanders of the divisions under their command.  A young and handsome officer wearing an army general's uniform with a calm gaze and standing at the head of the crowd is none other than Zhang Xinghan, the current commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Behind him, the guard battalion commander Guo Zhong and the director of the Secrecy Bureau Shen Xingye stood like two javelins. Standing on the left was the chief of staff Jiang Baili.  As early as four hours ago, Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye arrived in Seoul under the escort of the air force. There, they met with Zhao Zhenfan, Commander of the Fourth Army, Commander of the General Staff Jiang Baili, and the First Army, who had led their troops to North Korea a few days earlier.  After meeting with Commander Wang Yizhe.  Then they rushed to Busan together where the army was gathered.  Zhang Xinghan's eyes slowly swept over the subordinates present, and asked Jiang Baili on the left: "Chief of Staff, when will the troops be completed?" "Commander, the main forces of our two armies have basically been assembled in place, and the last two  The reorganization division has entered Korea and will arrive at the latest tomorrow afternoon. Except for a few remaining as necessary deterrent forces in various border defense areas, the main forces have gathered at the Busan military port and airport.  They have already blocked the entire Tsushima Strait and strictly blocked the news of our army's gathering." Jiang Baili immediately responded respectfully.  Zhang Xinghan nodded lightly with satisfaction.  The Jiaolong Task Force has been expanded into a group. In the past six months or so, they have expanded from the original fifty submarines to eighty.  The strength is stronger.  The reason why Task Force Jiaolong was able to nearly double its size in such a short period of time is because the thousands of sailors on the first fifty submarines have already accumulated considerable naval combat experience.  With them as the backbone, the new recruits who have just been trained can quickly complete their formation and form combat effectiveness.  In addition to the Navy’s underwater submarine force.  The strength of the surface forces of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has also improved. In order to ensure that this Eastern Expedition will end in victory, Zhang Xinghan passed Alice.  The policy of using carrots and sticks led Ives and other British people to join the navy as the backbone and jointly assist the Northeast Navy in operations.  With their help, the navy's strength will be greatly improved, especially the rookie sailors who have just joined the army, will be greatly helped.  "You guys have been here for days to adjust me.We have worked hard to dispatch the generals. Let's all go and have a good night's rest today. Tomorrow, when all our troops are assembled, we will immediately launch the eastward expedition across the sea.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered everyone. "Yes!  "Everyone responded loudly and immediately dispersed. Only Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe stayed. After everyone left, Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Chief, I don't know which troop will be used tomorrow.  pioneer?  " Zhang Xinghan blurted out: "The reorganized 106th Division will be the vanguard, and the 107th and 117th Divisions will cover it. The three divisions will be led by Wang Tiehan, commander and deputy commander of the 106th Division, under unified command. Under the cover of the navy and air force, they will serve as the first batch of landing troops to attack Japan.  Landing on Kyushu Island!  " "Let Lao Wang personally lead the attack?  "Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were a little surprised, and both looked stunned. Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously and said: "Yes, let Deputy Commander Wang personally lead the team. During the September 18th Incident, I was the first one attacked by the Japanese invaders.  In the defense area of ??the 620th Regiment, today we are sending our troops eastward to fight the Japanese without declaring war. It is most appropriate for Wang Tiehan to personally command the troops.  "The two thought about it and nodded in praise. Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others had discussed the specific combat plan countless times in the past six months and had already finalized it, so they were speechless all night. In the afternoon of the next day, the last two reorganization divisions six  Trains and cars carrying more than 10,000 soldiers arrived in Busan one after another. At this point, the more than 600,000 navy, land and air forces of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force were all assembled. The area around Busan was filled with soldiers of the Northeast Border Defense Force and the tanks and tanks they drove.  From time to time, fighter planes roared past in the sky. Everyone gathered in the headquarters. Zhang Xinghan turned his eyes to Wang Tiehan, who was beside Wang Yizhe, and said solemnly: "Deputy Commander Wang!  " "It's a humble job!  "Wang Tiehan immediately responded. "After the commander-in-chief's research and decision, your unit is ordered to be the vanguard of this sea-crossing landing, and you yourself will serve as the commander-in-chief of the first batch of landing troops. I hope you can command the troops calmly and complete the task brilliantly.  This combat mission will open a breakthrough for our main follow-up troops to complete the beach landing operation. Do you have the confidence!  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "In this humble position, I will definitely lead the soldiers of the three armies to move forward bravely. If I don't succeed, I will be benevolent and swear to the death to land on Kyushu Island!  "Wang Tiehan's eyes suddenly became hot and he yelled sternly. (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 4049: Undeclared War

    Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, and Wang Tiehan and the commander of the 117th Division had already taken the order and left.  . After Zhang Xinghan watched them leave, he turned to Jiang Baili and said: "Chief of Staff, it is up to you to announce the specific battle plan to everyone." "Okay." Jiang Baili readily agreed, stood up and walked towards the hanging  The giant battle map on the wall behind Zhang Xinghan.  When he came to the front, he picked up a wooden command pole that was placed next to the map, pointed at the combat map and began to talk about the already prepared combat plan.  ????????????????????????????????????????????Busan Military Port, hundreds of large and small warships, transport ships are ready to go.  On the dock on the shore, 60,000 troops from three reorganized divisions began to board the ship nervously and orderly.  Amidst the deafening rumbling sound, the No. 4 tanks, puffing out billowing smoke, drove directly onto the transport ship. Armored vehicles and trucks, dragging howitzers one by one, also began to board the ship.  From a bird's eye view, the soldiers, tanks and armored vehicles on the pier are like dense ant colonies slowly moving towards the ship.  In the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force in Busan City, all division commanders have received combat orders and left. Only Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others are left.  Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion, walked in quickly and saluted Zhang Xinghan and others: "General seat, attendants, the first echelon of the Air Force has been prepared. General Gao Zhihang asked for instructions.  Can we take off? " "Commander Wang, are the landing troops ready?" Zhang Xinghan turned to Wang Yizhe.  "Reporting to the headquarters, all 60,000 vanguard troops have boarded the ship and are ready to set off at any time." Wang Yizhe replied.  "Okay, immediately order Gao Zhihang to take off immediately, carry out a devastating air strike on Kanmon Seafood, and completely cut off the connection between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island. Create conditions for the landing of my first batch of landing troops, and tell Wang Tiehan that their mission is to guard the Kanmon Strait.  , With the cooperation of the submarine force and the air force, we will block the Japanese reinforcements that may be coming from the direction of Honshu Island. Before the main force of our army destroys the resistance on Kyushu Island, no Japanese soldiers can be allowed to pass through the Kanmon Strait!" Zhang Xinghan!  He ordered immediately.  The Kanmon Strait, formerly known as the Shimonoseki Strait, is the water area between Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, at the western end of Honshu, and Moji District, Kitakyushu City, at the northern end of Kyushu (130 degrees 48 minutes east longitude, 33 degrees 56 minutes north latitude), and is the western gateway to the Seto Inland Sea.  It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.  It is conceivable that once Kyushu Island is attacked, the Japanese army on Honshu Island will rush to reinforce it, so blocking the Kanmon Strait is crucial for this battle to capture Kyushu Island.  Fortunately, it is only 1935, and Japan has not yet been able to build a cross-sea bridge across the Kanmon Strait.  As for the later-famous Guanmen Undersea Tunnel Railway, construction has just begun, and it will not be opened to traffic until 1942 at the earliest.  Therefore, as long as Wang Tiehan's 60,000-strong army cooperates properly with submarines and air force fighters, even if the main force of the Japanese army on Honshu Island is one million, they can only look at the sea and sigh.  Of course, all this will be based on the premise that the submarine, navy and air force can severely damage the Japanese navy's combined fleet.  Without the backing of a powerful air force and naval submarine force, the 60,000-strong army would be much less, but I am afraid it would not be enough to withstand the powerful naval gun firepower of the Japanese naval combined fleet for a day.  Today, the number of Northeast Frontier Force fighter aircraft has exceeded 2,000, and their capabilities far exceed those of the Japanese Army's active fighter aircraft by ten years, almost an era ahead of them.  You must know that the total number of Japanese navy, army and air force fighter planes in 1937 was only more than 2,700. After several major battles in Northeast Asia, the Japanese army had less than 1,500 fighter planes. However, this  In the past two years, the Japanese have been producing at full capacity to make up for the shortage of aircraft. Now the number of fighter aircraft has exceeded 3,000.  "But the surname Neng is still far from the Northeast Frontier Force's BF109 and Zero fighter jets, and is not at the same level at all.  Blocking the Kanmon Strait is the first and most important step in Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili's battle plan.  The second step followed the first step, which was for the submarine force, navy and air force to jointly cover the 60,000 landing force approaching Japanese waters, and then start a fierce battle with the Japanese naval fleet near Kyushu Island.  Among them, the air force fighter group and the submarine force of the Jiaolong Task Force played the leading roles, jointly attacking the Japanese fleet under water and air. The not powerful naval ships were mainly responsible for protecting our own landing troops from being attacked by the Japanese ships.  .  The goal of the first echelon of the Air Force that took off first was to bomb the ports on both sides of the Kanmon Strait, as well as various anchored ships and Japanese military defense facilities, and first cut off the maritime connection between the Japanese army in the direction of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island.  &nbsp; After the submarine force and air force severely damaged the Japanese fleet in the waters of Kyushu Island, the naval fleet, with the help of the submarine force, would quickly cover Wang Tiehan's 60,000-strong army to land on the beach from the northern Kyushu Island port area.  After landing, Wang Tiehan needs to command the troops to immediately attack and advance southeast along the shore of Kanmon Strait, capture Kanmon Strait and blockade the Kanmon Strait.  After Zhang Xinghan gave the order, the naval fleet immediately weighed anchor and set off. About fifty B-17 Sky Fortress heavy bombers, escorted by twenty Zero fighter jets, also took off from Busan Airport and ascended to an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters toward Kyushu Island.  Fly away.  On the vast coast of the Tsushima Strait, hundreds of large and small warships rode the wind and waves quickly heading towards Kyushu Island.  The muzzles of the ship-borne artillery were raised high, ready to fire at any time. Tens of thousands of naval officers stood at their respective fort posts, looking ahead with stern expressions.  About one hundred and fifty nautical miles ahead of the entire fleet, a submarine detachment from the Jiaolong Task Force has been lurking in the nearby waters for a day and a night.  The number and scale of the Japanese navy ships cruising in this area are already under their control.  In a Xxi submarine, a major officer said to the radio operator with a stern face: "Send a report to the general headquarters that our naval fleet is less than 150 nautical miles away from the enemy ship surveillance area. Please prepare for battle in advance.  …!” ……………Busan City, Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters.  "Commander, Jiaolong just called. Our naval fleet is less than 150 nautical miles away from the possible fighting area. At their speed, they can arrive in four hours at the latest." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili said respectfully to Zhang Xinghan with a message in his hand.  Zhang Xinghan sat in front of the map. After hearing this, he lowered his head and looked at the map. He pondered for a moment and said: "Immediately call back and inform Task Force Jiaolong that they can report the latest information to our department and report it to the Navy Fleet Command and  Land the troops in front of the enemy command post and share intelligence with them. This will also make it easier for the front troops to understand the intention of our orders and execute them quickly. In addition, we ordered the entire Second Flight Regiment of the Air Force, the Stuka Dive Bomber Reading Group, and the Third Flight Regiment.  The 1st and 2nd Fighter Groups are ready for battle immediately and are ready to go at any time!" Jiang Baili responded and said, "Should we also notify the main force of the Jiaolong Task Force to assemble as soon as possible? This time we need to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese fleet!  It will only work if Jiaolong and Feiying join forces." "Well, that's it." Zhang Xinghan nodded and decided.  ??????……………… In the Tsushima Strait of Japan Sea, two light cruisers flying the plaster flag are conducting routine patrols in this sea area.  Suddenly, a lookout glass appeared under the waves of the water about a mile and a half away from them.  Under the water, a XXX submarine was slowly submersing. In the ship under the lookout mirror, a lookout soldier concentrated on observing for a while, then turned to an officer behind him and said: "Captain, the target is found ahead, the distance is 1300 meters."  There are two cruisers with a size of about 1,300 meters, with a tonnage of about 5,000 tons. "The officer's stern face was calm, and his tone revealed a chilling air: "Notify No. 076 immediately, we are responsible for each.  Let’s sink them together!” “Yes!” A soldier standing aside solemnly agreed, then turned around and took the order to leave.  About three minutes later, the two submarines spit out two torpedoes weighing a thousand kilograms like dragons on the seabed.  Two torpedoes were launched from underwater and silently pounced on two Japanese cruisers more than a thousand meters away.  Since it was launched from the bottom of the water, it was not until it hit the hull of the cruiser that the Japanese troops on the ship discovered the clues.  One of the Japanese soldiers was horrified, pointing at the water wave that was almost touching the surface of the water and shouting sternly: "There is an enemy, enemy attack! Enemy attack! There are torpedoes!!!" But it was too late, two bombs  The torpedoes hit two light cruisers not far apart almost at the same time.  A violent explosion suddenly occurred below the ship, and huge waves rose with fire and smoke.  The solid steel plate hull was blown into ruins in an instant, and half of the hull disappeared. The cruiser was stunned. Since the bullet was hit in a backward position, most of the front part of the cruiser immediately tilted backwards, and the turbulent seawater  Rushing in instantly.  The Japanese service personnel on the ground floor were submerged before they could even scream, and the boiler room that provided power for the ship was also doused by cold sea water.  Almost in an instant, the two cruisers that had been sailing normally just now were destroyed and destroyed in an instant.  The two cruisers have been severely damaged and will sink completely in no more than an hour.??Disappeared in this vast expanse of blue waves.  Therefore, the two xxi submarines did not continue to attack, but immediately dived and evacuated, continuing to look for new targets.  The outcome of the two Japanese ships is certain. There is no need for them to waste any more precious ammunition. This battle is a large-scale, multi-arms joint operation. They must use limited ammunition to create the greatest results and eliminate as many Japanese ships as possible.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 410: The Chinese people are too ambitious

    Almost at the same time that the two cruisers were attacked, about twenty nautical miles away from them, a patrol gunboat of about a thousand tons flying the Sun Flag was also attacked by a torpedo from Task Force Jiaolong.  In an instant, the patrol gunboat was engulfed in flames and black smoke. The hull instantly tore apart and turned into nothing.  More than a hundred Japanese sailors on the gunboat were blown to pieces before they could even send out a distress signal.  Although the two light cruisers were damaged and quickly took on water, they still sent out a distress signal through the radio in time. Japanese ships of various sizes patrolling the surrounding waters immediately approached them quickly.  When about a dozen Japanese warships arrived, the two cruisers had almost completely sunk. The only hull above the water was crowded with Japanese sailors wearing white and black sailor uniforms.  More Japanese sailors had already jumped into the sea out of fear and disappeared into the waves of the blue sea.  These dozen Japanese ships, including seven patrol boats, two destroyers, and a group of torpedo boats, were preparing to rescue people.  Twelve submarines came quietly from the bottom of the water like a pack of wolves.  In one of the submarines, Liu Yuntao, who had been promoted to lieutenant colonel and deputy commander, said with a proud smile: "These little devils are what we were waiting for, and they have actually arrived. All units should pay attention and launch an attack immediately to kill them all."  Sink. Attention No. 076, you and I will attack the enemy's two destroyers first. These ships are the greatest threat to us!" "Received, received!" The captains of the other eleven submarines responded.  The next moment, twelve submarines locked the target from all directions almost simultaneously and launched torpedoes.  Although the Japanese army has two destroyers, the Japanese Navy's anti-submarine technology at this time is still not enough to deal with the attack of the xxi submarine.  There is no sonar detection and anti-submarine device at all, so there is no awareness of the underwater attack. All twelve torpedoes weighing 500 tons accurately hit the target that was rescuing people.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of huge explosions sounded in vain, and a dazzling red light rose into the sky with thick black smoke.  Groups of huge water splashes were thrown high, and then fell quickly like a goddess scattering flowers.  Amidst the continuous deafening explosions.  There were many screams of Japanese soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers and frightened cries for help.  Both destroyers were also hit. The area where the bomb was hit quickly caught fire after the explosion. The fire spread quickly. The Japanese troops on the destroyers were unable to save them in time, so they had to abandon the ship and escape.  There are also Japanese officers who were severely brainwashed by militarism and remained unmoved. They ordered their soldiers not to escape and would rather sink with the destroyer.  This small-scale naval battle ended with the annihilation of the Japanese army. The naval fleet was attacked in the waters of the Tsushima Strait. Such an emergency was quickly reported to the First Fleet Command of the Naval Combined Fleet.  The current commander of the First Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, did not dare to neglect, and ordered the main force of the First Fleet to quickly move towards the Tsushima Strait.  While ordering his subordinates to send sea-based aviation troops to the sea area where the incident occurred to investigate the situation.  He also quickly sent an emergency notification message to the Prime Minister of the Navy and the Cabinet Headquarters.  In the waters of the Tsushima Strait, two Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft produced by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries slowly took off from the Kyushu Island Naval Base and flew towards the sea area where the incident occurred.  The Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft is Japan's current main reconnaissance aircraft, but its performance is not very good, with a top speed of only 220 kilometers per hour and a range of only more than 1,000 kilometers.  Although they have suffered many losses from the Northeast Frontier Force Air Force fighter planes and know that this type of reconnaissance aircraft has seriously fallen behind and cannot keep up with the pace of the war, the Japanese are helpless.  Because they were the new reconnaissance aircraft (Type 94) that replaced the Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft and were just finalized last year.  It has not yet been put into large-scale production, let alone fully equipped with troops. It is said that only a few new aircraft have been deployed in Tokyo.  Therefore, the pilots of the two Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft, Goshun Ogura and Yuichiro Ono, were in extremely heavy moods.  They all know that this reconnaissance mission may never come back.  "Ono-kun. The damn Chinese are here to attack the imperial fleet again this time. Are you afraid?"  Ogura Goshun asked over the intercom.  Yuichiro Ono said in a serious tone: "Ever since I joined the army, I have been ready to sacrifice myself for His Majesty the Emperor, the Empire of Japan and the Yamato nation at any time." As soon as his voice changed, Yuichiro Ono said with some unwillingness and anger: "That's right  A group of despicable Chinese people actually mastered advanced underwater submarines, causing the invincible imperial fleet to suffer heavy losses, but they were unable to fight back. "It's really incredible."  Said: "Yes, the despicable Chinese people now not only haveThere are submarines that are more advanced than our Imperial Japanese Army, as well as fighter planes and tanks that are more advanced than ours. My brother died in the battle in Manchuria. According to the news brought back by his friend and boss, my brother was injured and was taken to China.  People's advanced tanks and chariots crushed them to death Wuwu!  " "Okura-kun, your brother is a hero of the empire. It is a great honor to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Emperor. Now put away your sorrow. We must first understand the enemy's intentions and quantity. I believe that the base camp will definitely dispatch us.  The aircraft carrier will teach these hateful Chinese people a lesson!  "A trace of fierce hope flashed in Ono Yuichiro's eyes. During the conversation between the two, the two Type 92 reconnaissance planes had already flown away from Kyushu Island and were heading towards the sea area where the accident occurred. When the two piloted the reconnaissance planes and flew towards the sea area where the accident occurred,  When they were near the sea, Ono Yuichiro's calm voice came: "Ogura-kun, this should be here, let's descend separately.  "    "clear.  "After Ogura replied calmly, he controlled the fighter plane and began to descend. When the two of them descended to an altitude of 500 meters, they suddenly discovered an abnormality. Unexpectedly, there was a huge force on the unstable sea.  The fleet looked as far as the eye could see, and there were hundreds of ships. And as the height dropped, Ono Yuichiro and Ogura Goshun had already seen the side hanging on the top of the stern of the ship.  The white sun flag in the blue sky was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Both of them were frightened. Before they could make a decision, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force naval fleet below had already launched a defensive fire attack.  Then, dense rain of anti-aircraft bullets quickly spread across the sky. Ogura Hayabusa's aircraft was the first to be hit. The extremely powerful bullets easily penetrated the paper-thin fuel tank steel plate of the Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft.  The reconnaissance plane immediately burst into flames, followed by a violent explosion, turning into a ball of bright and beautiful fire. The screams of Ogura Goshun before his death were clearly transmitted to Ono Yuichiro's ears through the intercom. "Ogura-kun"  "Yuichiro Ono was stunned and looked sad. He immediately piloted the fighter plane to quickly pull up to escape. However, due to the garbage climbing performance and speed of the Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft, it was unable to pull up quickly while it was descending. "Just now  It returned to level flight and increased the area where it was hit. "Bang, bang, bang" An anti-aircraft shell exploded, and shrapnel shot from all directions, but Ono was better than Ogura Hayabusa.  Fortunately, the shrapnel from the explosion did not hit the fuel tank, but penetrated the steel plate at the bottom of the aircraft and penetrated through the wooden fuselage above, causing three transparent holes in the aircraft. Yuichiro Ono broke into a cold sweat and quickly broke into a cold sweat.  Making an evasive action, the plane quickly flipped sideways, narrowly escaping the ensuing anti-aircraft fire. Yuichiro Ono did not dare to neglect, and quickly flew the plane as high as possible to escape.  At the same time, he began to report what he saw to the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Naval Fleet. A major officer walked in with his head held high in the conference room of the battleship and saluted Wang Tiehan, Ives and others.  He said: "Sirs, two enemy planes came for reconnaissance just now. One of them was shot down by our navy's anti-aircraft fire, and the other one escaped.  " Wang Tiehan, Ives and others looked at each other and said in deep thought: "Since the Japanese planes have escaped, our whereabouts will be discovered by the Japanese, and the moment of decisive battle is coming.  Signal Corps!  "    "have!  "A communications soldier standing aside at the ready stepped forward and responded loudly. "Immediately send a message to the general headquarters, report it to the headquarters, and request the immediate dispatch of the air force to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese fleet. Our navy will suspend its advance.  "Wang Tiehan commanded solemnly. "Yes" the signal soldier agreed with a bang, turned around and took the order and left. ?Wuxian County, the First Fleet Headquarters of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. After listening to the report of his subordinates, Yamamoto Five*  * suddenly stood up from the chair in shock, with a surprised look on his face: "What?  A large number of Chinese warships were discovered in the Tsushima Strait?  "Yes, General, according to the report of the reconnaissance plane that escaped, the China Navy's fleet is huge and surprisingly numerous. He has seen the enemy's flag and is absolutely certain that they are the China Navy."  "The subordinate replied. "What do the Chinese want to do?  Do they want to attack the mainland of the Japanese Empire?  "Isoroku Yamamoto lost his voice and said. "It's not impossible, I guess, just now more than a dozen destroyers and cruisers of our imperial army were sunk, it should be the enemy's submarine force clearing the way for the main force of their naval fleet.  "My subordinates deeply thought that?'s analysis.  Yamamoto Isoroku's face suddenly changed, he stared at the map uncertainly, frowned and said: "If this is true, it would be terrible. We are not aware of such a large-scale operation by the Chinese? What is the empire's intelligence department?  What are you doing? " "Your Majesty General, now is not the time to hold people responsible. Protecting the security of the empire is crucial. Our navy is the first to bear the brunt. Now we should consider how to keep the enemy out of the country!" the subordinate advised.  Yamamoto Isoroku took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "The Chinese people are too ambitious. They actually want to attack our homeland. They immediately report to the base camp. At the same time, they immediately order all the units of my First Fleet to leave the port quickly and prepare.  Intercept the Chinese! " "Hai!" (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 411: Destruction of the First Fleet

    While Yamamoto Isoroku ordered the First Fleet to quickly go to sea to prepare for interception, he also sent an emergency message to the Navy Ministry and even the base camp.  Tokyo City, a conference room in the Prime Minister's Office.  As early as more than an hour ago, we received reports that more than a dozen Navy destroyers, cruisers and patrol boats may have been attacked and sunk by the Northeast Border Guard submarine force.  Cabinet Prime Minister Minoru Saito urgently convened a meeting of cabinet members to discuss countermeasures.  As before, the two factions including the Prime Minister of the Navy and the Army argued and discussed for more than half an hour but failed to come up with any decent results.  Just when Saito Minoru had a headache, the aide-de-camp hurried over and whispered in his ear, Saito Minoru's expression suddenly changed.  Navy Prime Minister Kato Shiro and Army Prime Minister Hirano Shouki were still arguing over the priority supply of strategic resources to the empire. The two were blushing and looking forward to a duel between samurai.  Saito Minoru slammed the table suddenly and shouted angrily: "That's enough, shut up!" Kato Shiro and Hirano Shaoqi stopped arguing at the same time and looked at Saito Minoru with confusion.  Saito Minoru said with a gloomy face: "Both of you, you are still doing the meaningless imperial court here. Are you worthy of His Majesty the Emperor and the people of the Yamato nation?" Hirano Shaoqi and Kato Shiro were both confused and puzzled.  , what Prime Minister Saito said is a bit serious, isn't it? Although the two of them quarreled for the interests of the navy and the army, they couldn't talk about whether they were worthy of His Majesty the Emperor, let alone the entire Yamato nation, right?  Sensing the confusion between the two, Saito Minoru motioned to the adjutant to speak.  The adjutant nodded respectfully and said in shock: "Your Excellency, two generals, just now the commander of the Navy's First Fleet, General Yamamoto Isoroku, sent an urgent message. The Japanese have assembled at least hundreds of thousands of land, sea and air forces and are crossing the sea.  , its purpose is probably to attack the mainland of our Great Japanese Empire. At present, General Yamamoto Isoroku has quickly ordered the First Fleet to sail to the waters of Kyushu Island to prepare to intercept the Japanese army's crossing force. He said in the message that the situation has reached an urgent level.  The situation, please quickly order the army and navy across the country to prepare to fight and defend the Japanese Empire!” The words of the adjutant were like thunder in the sky in a thunderstorm, blasting in the ears of Kato Shiro and Hirano Shaoqi.  The two of them were deeply shocked and froze on the spot.  It wasn't until Shiro Saito asked them what they could do, that Shiro Kato came back to his senses and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, is this news true? How dare the Japanese attack our homeland in a large scale? Why do they have it?" As the Prime Minister of the Navy,  Kato Shiro couldn't help but be surprised. First of all, Japan is an island country. It is true that the navy is the top priority for the development of the Japanese. But equally, the navy is also the absolute guardian of Japan's homeland security.  Once the homeland is in emergency, the navy will be the first to bear the brunt and rush to the front line to defend the enemy from outside the country.  As a Japanese empire with a navy based in Asia and spanning the Pacific, it is acceptable for the army to lose the Koryo Peninsula and Manchuria that it has occupied for nearly half a century.  But now their homeland is about to be attacked by the enemy. How can this make Shiro Kato, the Prime Minister of the Navy, not shocked?  He almost couldn’t believe his ears. Even if the Imperial Japanese Army’s combined naval fleet was not the best in the world, it could still be ranked among the top three.  It may not be enough to attack the great powers such as Britain and the United States, but it is more than enough to defend the mainland of the four islands of Japan.  Seeing Prime Minister Saito Minoru nodding solemnly, Katou Shiro had already made a decision in his mind and immediately said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. In your humble position, you should immediately command all the Imperial Army officers and soldiers of the Combined Navy Fleet.  Set out immediately to fight against the invasion of the Japanese, and make sure they never come back!" Saito Minoru nodded with satisfaction, and did not forget to tell him: "Jiaten-kun, since the Japanese dare to come, they must be there!  The navy has come prepared. "Hai, please rest assured, Prime Minister." Kato Shiro suddenly lowered his head.  "In addition, Hirano-kun" Saito Minoru turned to Hirano Shaoqi and said: "This is a crisis that has almost never happened since the founding of the Yamato nation. I hope that the army can fully do a good job in the defense and defense of the mainland's coastal areas. If, I  If the navy fails to resist, the army must be prepared to fight the enemy at all costs! "Of course, I still have confidence in the combined fleet of the Japanese Empire!" "Hai!" Hirano Shaoqi also knows!  This was not the time to continue fighting with the navy. He could still distinguish what was more important, so he immediately lowered his head and responded.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…??The action quickly began.  Of course, given the strength of our own navy, the Ministry of War, including Hirano Shaoqi, did not take this crisis too seriously.  Although the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Navy have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, Hirano Shaoqi and others still fully affirm the strength of our own navy.  Although Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force had some advanced submarine units some time ago, this was not enough to completely change the gap in overall naval strength between the two sides.  In local small-scale sneak attacks, the submarine force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force may be able to take advantage, but submarines are just submarines after all. The forces required for such a large-scale beach landing cannot be delivered by just a few submarines.  Therefore, without naval ships, everything is in vain, and it is impossible for the navy of the Northeast Border Guard to defeat the Japanese Combined Naval Fleet, which is the third largest in the world and the largest in Asia in total tonnage.  Therefore, Hirano Shaoqi just strictly ordered the garrison troops in the coastal areas of Kyushu Island to strengthen vigilance to prevent unexpected events.  I have never thought of mobilizing reinforcements from Honshu Island to Kyushu Island. After all, Kyushu Island also has nearly 100,000 army troops and hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers.  As the Prime Minister of the Army, Hirano Shouki is like this, but as the commander of the 6th Division of Kumamoto and the 18th Division of Kurume (Fukuoka) and the military chiefs at all levels below them, you can imagine the reaction.  .  Moreover, the order was conveyed to the lowest level. In order to leak the news, cause turmoil in the country, and cause panic among the military and civilians, it was no longer stated that the squadron was crossing the sea to attack. Instead, the garrison squadron, group and even the regiment were ordered to be vigilant and ready for battle.  .  Under such circumstances, these orders are somewhat redundant and ridiculous in the eyes of the majority of junior officers in the Japanese army.  This is the homeland of the Japanese Empire, the safest rear area. How could there be a battle?  Therefore, the combined naval fleets gathered nervously in the Tsushima Strait, but the army on Kyushu Island was still ordinary. The troops stationed in various places should eat, drink, play, and visit the military hospital.  Everything was as usual, there was no atmosphere of nervous preparation at all.  This is true for Kyushu Island, let alone Honshu Island and the further distant Shikoku Island and Hokkaido.  …………… The main force of Yamamoto Isoroku’s First Fleet was the first to leave Kyushu Island and head for the offshore waters.  When they traveled about 70 nautical miles from Kyushu Island, they were attacked by more than 60 submarines from the Northeast Border Guard's Jiaolong Task Force.  A battleship was severely damaged, and two outlying submarines were directly sunk. The destroyers of the First Fleet began to blindly and continuously drop depth bombs into the seawater for anti-submarine warfare.  This kind of blind bombing cannot cause any substantial damage to the submarines of the Northeast Border Guard.  They evaded flexibly underwater, hiding outside the explosion range of the Japanese depth bombs, and launched wave after wave of attacks on the destroyers.  More than 20 large and small destroyers of the First Fleet were shot, blown up, and sunk one after another.  Just when the Japanese felt helpless against the attack by the submarine force of the Northeast Frontier Force, hundreds of bombers and fighter jets, the main force of the Air Force Division of the Northeast Frontier Force taking off from airports in Busan and other places, came like locusts, blocking out the sky and the sun.  Immediately launched a fierce air attack on the Japanese fleet, which was nervously taking precautions to avoid the attack of its own submarines.  “In the final analysis, the current anti-submarine means and technology of the Japanese Navy are too few and too backward. In fact, even at the peak of World War II, the anti-submarine technology of the Japanese Navy’s combined fleet was not very good.  Many of the few aircraft carriers were sunk by Yankee submarines. You must know that the performance of American submarines is inferior to that of the German XXX submarines.  The submarine attack has already made the Japanese First Fleet exhausted and in a hurry. The sudden arrival of these hundreds of fighter planes has made the Japanese even worse and added fuel to the fire.  Zero fighter jets dived and flew by at high speed, and a dense rain of heading machine gun bullets and machine gun shells rained down on the Japanese warships.  The Japanese artillerymen and air defense troops outside the cabin screamed and fell into a pool of blood.  Following the Zero fighters were a group of Stuka dive bombers, **-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers and Hee medium bombers.  "俅俅俅俅" Amidst the sharp and piercing screams, heavy aerial bombs accurately landed on the large and small ships of the Japanese First Fleet.  Suddenly there was an earth-shaking explosion. In the monstrous waves and fire, their anti-aircraft weapons basically had no time to work. Almost none of the carrier-based aircraft carried on the two aircraft carriers even took off.  were destroyed together.  In the Air Force fighter and submarine forces?Under successive attacks, the Japanese First Fleet suffered a devastating blow.  In less than half an hour, this fleet with a tonnage of about 150,000 tons was basically destroyed.  The two aircraft carriers were riddled with holes and were rapidly taking on water. It was seen that more than half of them had sunk.  As for the other battleships and destroyers, they were completely lost.  After the Air Force completed the bombing, they quickly returned to the aircraft carrier. They had to go back quickly to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then participate in the next decisive battle and cover the landing of the main army force.  The submarine force covered the naval fleet as it continued to move toward its destination, Kitakyushu Island.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 412: Landing on Kyushu Island

    Almost an hour before the attack on the Japanese First Fleet began, the Air Force Department of the Northeast Frontier Force, which was the first to set off, also arrived at Kitakyushu Island and the Kanmon Strait area.  They conducted a series of indiscriminate bombings on the Japanese military facilities and ships passing by there.  So when the naval fleet transported three reorganized divisions of 60,000 troops to the coast of Kitakyushu Island, fires that had not yet been extinguished and Japanese bunkers, fortifications, and vehicles that had been blown to pieces could be seen everywhere.  Since the Second Fleet is stationed in places such as Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, the Third Fleet suffered heavy losses some time ago. The remaining forces and subsequent supplementary ships mostly stay in Honshu Island and Hokkaido waters to protect the safety of Japan's northern waters.  Therefore, it was impossible to reach Kyushu Island in a hurry, and the First Fleet was completely wiped out in less than two hours. This greatly exceeded the expectations of the Japanese base camp, and also left Kyushu Island without a navy.  The force can prevent the landing force of the Northeast Border Guard from reaching the shore.  In Busan City, the Northeast Frontier Defense Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan sat at the conference table, smoking a cigarette and staring at the map. There was a meal delivered by the cook next to him. He did not move at all. The war was at a tense moment, and Zhang Xinghan had no appetite.  Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps outside. Before Zhang Xinghan could raise his head, he heard Jiang Baili's cheerful voice: "Chief! Chief! Good news. Report from the front, they have wiped out the Japanese First Fleet.  The other Japanese fleets were too anxious to arrive, and the naval fleet was already preparing to cover Wang Tiehan's 60,000-strong army to land on the beach. "Really?" Zhang Xinghan's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he stood up.  Jiang Baili nodded with a smile on his face, and Zhang Xinghan began to pace back and forth excitedly, saying: "Great, as long as my 60,000 assault troops successfully land, defend the Kanmon Strait, and then block the waters around Kyushu Island with submarines and air force  , we can completely cut off the Japanese reinforcements to Kyushu Island. In this way, our army of more than 400,000 can easily trample the entire Kyushu Island under our feet!" "The only thing we need to worry about is after our 60,000 vanguard troops land.  "When the naval ship returns to transport the second stage of landing troops, the other two fleets of the Japanese Navy will arrive in advance." Jiang Baili smiled very confidently: "The commander is overly worried, let alone the fact that the Taiwan Strait is thousands of miles away from the Tsushima Strait."  Even if they can arrive in advance, they still need to get past the interception of several small groups of our Jiaolong Task Force. In addition to the sixty Xxi submarines engaged in the frontal attack, the other twenty are responsible for blocking the Japanese navy.  The mission of main force reinforcement has been proved by actual combat that the performance of our XXI submarines is absolutely superior to that of any surface ship of the Japanese army.  If they get entangled, they will have to shed their skin. As for the other fleet, our submarine force completely annihilated the Sichuan Yun fleet in the East China Sea some time ago. Its strength was greatly damaged. Even if there were not the blockade of ten xxi submarines, our navy and air force would be destroyed.  The fighter jet group can also give it a devastating blow!" Zhang Xinghan nodded with deep understanding.  The Japanese always think that their navy is invincible, powerful and invincible.  But the facts gave them a resounding slap in the face. After losing air control, they will also lose sea control.  In modern warfare, air superiority is the most important.  The bombers and fighter jets currently equipped by the Northeast Border Guard are all advanced aircraft that are far ahead of this era, although their number is not large.  But the combat power exerted is definitely the most powerful.  Under their intensive attack, no matter how large the Japanese fleet is, it can only sink into the sea and sink into the sand with broken swords.  Zhang Xinghan can even imagine it.  Once it is known that their First Fleet of the Navy was completely wiped out in such a short period of time, and Kyushu Island was landed by the Chinese Navy, the whole country of Japan will be horrified and frightened!  Since the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese have become increasingly arrogant and arrogant. Today, Zhang Xinghan will use practical actions to prove that China is no longer the sick man of East Asia who was wantonly bullied.  Gone are the days when the great powers, including Japan, could force China to surrender by simply launching two warships and mounting cannons.  "I will lead the Northeastern Border Guards to plant the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag all over the four Japanese islands, trampling this country that has repeatedly humiliated and robbed the Chinese nation under its feet, and will never be able to stand up again.  ……………………………… Tokyo City, Prime Minister’s Office.  After hearing the report from the adjutant, Saito Minoru, who had just returned from the palace, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.  As the most powerful First Fleet of the Great Japanese Combined Fleet, the entire army was wiped out in one battle.  Just now, heAt the palace, he also expressed to the extremely shocked Emperor Hirohito that the navy would be able to defend the enemy outside the country and ensure that the sacred territory of the Japanese Empire would not be invaded by the Chinese army.  It seems that Saito Minoru can already imagine the furious roar His Majesty Emperor Hirohito made when he learned of the current situation.  Thinking of this, Saito turned pale and was stunned on the spot.  Seeing that Saito Minoru was silent, the aide-de-camp on the side kindly reminded: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the First Fleet has been defeated. The Chinese naval fleet has approached the coast of Kyushu Island. The situation is extremely critical. Please make a decision quickly!"  Fujimi suddenly came to his senses and immediately ordered the adjutant: "Immediately inform General Hirano Shaoqi and strictly order him to immediately order all the land forces on Kyushu Island to prevent the landing of the China Army at all costs, and we must persist until the second navy.  The third fleet is here!" "Hai!" the adjutant lowered his head suddenly and then turned around to take the order.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  There was originally a small group of Japanese troops stationed on this island. Since the military target was not important, they luckily escaped the air raid just launched by the Northeast Border Guard Air Force.  But the good luck of the more than 60 Japanese troops on the island ended here. Less than two hours after the air raid, the Northeast Navy fleet swarmed over.  Before they could react, the guns on a three-thousand-ton destroyer roared at Oshima.  In the earth-shaking explosion, the entire island quickly fell into a sea of ??fire. More than sixty little devils were swallowed up by the waves and disappeared like a solitary boat in the vast blue waves.  About a platoon of infantrymen boarded the real Japanese territory in small rubber boats, becoming the first squadron to land on Japanese soil.  In five thousand years, this is the first time that the Chinese army has landed on the four islands of Japan as an invader and an avenger.  After the infantry platoon landed on the island, they quickly planted the blue sky and white sun flag they carried on the highest point of the island, officially announcing their occupation of the island.  This was just a small episode before the army landed. Subsequently, hundreds of warships from the Tohoku Navy began to violently bombard the Toga River area near the coast of Kitakyushu Island.  The terrain here is gentle and is the most suitable area for landing troops to land on the beach.  Hundreds of naval guns fired in unison, and the violent explosion enveloped an area about two kilometers wide on the shore in a sea of ??fire.  There was originally a Japanese army brigade stationed in the Toga River area, but it was attacked by an air attack two hours ago. The Japanese brigade suffered heavy losses, and was suddenly bombarded by powerful naval artillery from the Northeast Navy. It basically lost its ability to resist.  The reinforcements closest to here are the main force of a regiment stationed in Kitakyushu Island. They have just received the news from the division headquarters. They have just left Kitakyushu Island and are still on their way here.  So when the first tank regiment was sent to the shore by the landing ship and carried out the formal landing ceremony, the Japanese garrison, which had been killed by more than 80% by naval guns and air strikes, was unable to resist at all.  With the coordination of the two infantry battalions, the tank regiment quickly landed ashore and quickly launched an attack forward.  Easily eliminated the remaining resistance of the garrison.  The 60,000-strong army quickly launched follow-up landings.  More than an hour later, 30,000 people from the three reorganized divisions had landed ashore, and the tank regiment and two infantry battalions that landed first also came into contact with reinforcements from a Japanese regiment coming from Kitakyushu Island City.  Under the fierce assault firepower of the tank regiment, the Japanese regiment was hastily defeated and quickly retreated. One of the two infantry battalions was divided into pursuit, and the other followed the tank regiment and quickly attacked North Kyushu Island.  Fukuoka Prefecture, Kurume City, 18th Division Headquarters.  As early as 1925, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the 13th, 15th, and 17th Divisions were abolished because military expenditures exceeded the budget.  ??History was that it was reorganized in 1937 in order to cope with the protracted Battle of Songhu, and was put into the Shanghai battlefield. It landed in Hangzhou Bay in one fell swoop, cutting off the enemy's retreat, which directly led to the failure of the Battle of Songhu.  In this time and space, due to the continuous defeats of the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army, the 18th Division, the 17th Division and other disbanded divisions were reorganized together.  They were among the 500,000 army reinforcements. Later, because Okamura Neiji was defeated too quickly in Manchuria and Korea, they were not used.  It stands to reason that the 18th Division should be disbanded again like the other twenty newly formed second-line divisions, and the soldiers should be sent back to their original places.  &nbsp; However, due to the army's successive defeats in Manchuria and Goryeo, which suffered heavy losses, the number of troops has been significantly reduced.  In order to retain a corresponding number of land forces and obtain more strategic resources for the army, the 18th Division was retained.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmb fuck out  Although the strength of two divisions responsible for the defense of Honshu Island may seem small, in fact, it is not the case. These two divisions are only active troops on the surface.  You must know that in the entire Kyushu Island, with a population of nearly 10 million, there are hundreds of thousands of reservists who have served in the military and a large number of reserve officers who have attended non-commissioned officer schools.  In addition, Nagasaki and other places are important places where Japanese military factories are located, so as long as the situation is critical, the Japanese can open the warehouses of the military factories and form an army of hundreds of thousands in just a few days.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 413: Capture of Kitakyushu

    However, due to the sudden situation, the Japanese Army did not expect that the Navy's First Fleet would be defeated so quickly.  So much so that the Northeast Navy and its landing force suddenly arrived, so the Japanese on Kyushu Island were simply caught off guard.  Within the division headquarters in Kurume, the current commander of the 18th Division, Nakamura Taniichi, and the chief of staff, Yungo Hyakuga, were anxiously discussing the military situation.  "Hakuga-kun, how is the troop assembly going?" Nakamura Taniichi asked.  "General, the 114th Infantry Regiment in Fukuoka and the 56th Infantry Regiment in Kurume are urgently gathering. The 55th Infantry Regiment stationed on Kyushu Island should have arrived at the coast of the Toga River." Chief of Staff Yungo Momiga finished his words.  .  A rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and a Japanese communications soldier ran in in a panic. Without saluting, he said: "Your Excellency, General, it's bad. The 55th Infantry Regiment encountered the China Army's armored assault force on the way to rescue. Unfortunately.  was defeated, the main force of the regiment was completely lost, and Kitakyushu has been surrounded by the Chinese. The situation is extremely urgent. The commander of the defenders, Lieutenant Colonel Ohno, requested emergency reinforcements! " The expressions of Nakamura Yaichi and Yuri Yungo suddenly changed, and they took a breath.  He said coldly: "How can the Chinese people be so fast?" "Your Excellency General, the situation is critical now. We don't care about waiting for the troops to be assembled. We should hurry up and set off the troops that have been assembled to help Kitakyushu Island. In addition, the Chinese people  They have already landed, and they must have a lot of troops, which is probably not something that our division can handle. "The general suggested that the general should immediately send a message to Kumamoto's 60th Regiment and the Army Department for reinforcements," Yungo Yungo said quickly.  "Yo Xi, that's it." Nakamura Tani nodded happily.  …………… On the beach of Yuanhe River, Wang Tiehan, accompanied by a large group of staff adjutants and guards, got off the landing craft and stepped ashore.  Wang Tiehan looked around with a solemn expression, and said with some excitement and choked up: "Brothers, this is the territory of Little Japan. For hundreds of years in modern times, the Japanese invaders have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Chinese territory. Now it is finally our turn to seek revenge.  The time has come. The Japanese killed our compatriots, burned our houses, and robbed our property. We must pay them back ten times a hundred times!" A staff officer who graduated from Longxing Military Academy advised: "Deputy Commander, how do you feel?  It's understandable, but these are not the most important things at the moment. Our top priority should be to quickly capture Kitakyushu and then seize the opportunity to block the Kanmon Strait. As for revenge, as long as we successfully capture Kyushu Island, are we afraid that we won't have a chance?" Wang Tiehan suddenly said.  He woke up and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Staff Li, you were right to remind me. I almost forgot the top priority assigned to us by the headquarters." Immediately ordered each regiment to launch an attack quickly, and must seize the opportunity before the Japanese reinforcements arrived.  "Go to Kitakyushu and block the Kanmon Strait." "Yes." A group of subordinates responded, and two of them quickly took the order and left.  Went to deliver the order.  Before Wang Tiehan came ashore, basically all the 60,000-strong army had landed, and all divisions and regiments were rapidly gathering.  The naval fleet also began its return voyage.  It didn’t take long for the temporary headquarters to be set up.  Under the guidance of a staff officer, Wang Tiehan and others came to the headquarters.  When the commander and others of the 117th Division saw Wang Tiehan, they all stood up and saluted.  Wang Tiehan waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be polite, and then asked: "How is it? How is the assembly of the various regiments?" "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, they have all been assembled. The tank regiment of the 106th Division and the 729th Battalion have already  We have reached the base of Kitakyushu City and are currently organizing an attack," a division commander reported.  "Alright, Kitakyushu City will be handed over to my 106th Division. Your 107th and 117th Divisions will immediately bypass Kitakyushu and seize the ferries of the Kanmon Strait. All ships will be destroyed. All Japanese approaching the Kanmon Strait will be killed and blocked immediately.  Kanmon Strait." Wang Tiehan made a decision immediately after looking at the map.  "Yes!" Several division and regiment leaders stepped forward and responded, then turned around and took the order.  At this time, a staff officer came over with a message in hand and saluted Wang Tiehan: "Commander-in-Chief, the Air Force is calling. The fleet of aircraft that previously carried out air strikes on the Kanmon Strait has been re-prepared and can take off at any time to help us." "Kita Kyushu's  There are not many Japanese defenders. We don't need their direct support. Let's call them back and ask them to immediately carry out air strikes and bombings on bridges, passes and other important transportation routes leading to Kitakyushu. If they can directly attack the Japanese reinforcements,  That would be even better. In short, everything is to slow down the Japanese reinforcements and buy time for us to block the Kanmon Strait and build two sides of fortifications." Wang Tiehan pondered slightly, stopped the staff officer who was about to take the order and left: "  besides, send a message to the Commander-in-Chief and report our current situation.  "    "yes!  "Then the staff responded, and then turned away  In the city of Busan, the headquarters of the Northeast Border Defense Forces." General seat, Wang Tiehan's 60,000 troops have landed, and now they are now in  The attack moves forward, so far everything is going smoothly.  "Jiang Baili took the message from the communications soldier and immediately turned around and reported to Zhang Xinghan with a smile. Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, very good, call Wang Tiehan back, you must be quick, and seize the opportunity quickly before the Japanese army can react.  Kanmon Strait, from now on, stick it to me like a nail at all costs.  Whether they can win this battle on Kyushu Island depends on them.  " "Okay, I'll go right away.  "Jiang Baili turned around and was about to leave. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said: "Are the preparations for the second echelon of landing troops?  "Jiang Baili stopped and turned around and said: "Everything is ready. We can set off immediately after the naval fleet returns.  " Zhang Xinghan bowed slightly with satisfaction and said: "Give power to the naval fleet and ask them to return as quickly as possible. Time is the most important thing for us now!  One less minute of delay may save many lives.  " "Yes, I will inform them right away.  "Jiang Baili stood up for a moment, turned and left. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In Kitakyushu Island City, a fierce battle is going on. Hundreds of No. 4 tanks and more than a thousand Chinese soldiers have surrounded this small town on Kitakyushu Island on all sides, and they are attacking fiercely. Because  The main force of the alliance left the city to reinforce Toga River, so there were only less than one brigade of troops stationed in the city. With the addition of a group of remnants of the defeated generals, the force could reach the size of a brigade, although there were not many regular troops.  However, tens of thousands of Japanese civilians in the city learned that the Chinese army had actually attacked their homes. In panic, the young and middle-aged people in the city picked up all kinds of swords, guns and sticks and organized themselves to join the ranks of the defenders. Many of them were veterans of military service.  So once a soldier is killed, they can quickly take over the gun in their hands and continue fighting. Outside the city, the tank guns of hundreds of Panzer IV tanks are firing continuously, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks are also roaring. The 729th Battalion carries with them the army.  Infantry artillery, mortars, and rocket launchers also exerted great power. Continuous explosions and dense rain of machine gun bullets suppressed the Japanese soldiers and civilians on the top of the city. From time to time, unlucky Japanese were hit by stray bullets and were unable to raise their heads.  After a while, the old city wall could not withstand the intense bombardment, and a large section of the Japanese soldiers and civilians fell to their death.  The wolf-like Northeastern Border Guard soldiers immediately rushed in with guns in hand and roaring under the cover of more than a dozen tanks. Under the cover of dense machine gun bullets, Japanese troops wanted to block the gaps in the city wall.  Fallen. More than 300 soldiers from two companies of 729 took advantage of the situation and swarmed in. The Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns in their hands formed a rapid assault fire. The Japanese soldiers and civilians who came to resist fell like grass. "  Brothers, go for it.  Break this city and leave no chickens or dogs behind!  "Amidst the frenzied shouts of killing, a low-level officer who was not known to be a soldier roared wildly. This immediately aroused the bestiality and ferocity of these tiger and wolf soldiers. With an absolute advantage in troops and firepower, the main force of the division could not catch up.  When they arrived, they broke through the Japanese city defenses. Since the Japanese civilians in the city also joined the resisters, after entering the city, the red-eyed soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army launched an unprecedented indiscriminate fire attack on more than 30,000 people in the city.  , all young and old were slaughtered, and soon this small town on Kyushu Island turned into a hell on earth. When Wang Tiehan and his main force arrived, they saw dead Japanese corpses everywhere.  . The burned-out houses were still billowing with smoke, and there were also naked bodies of Japanese women in some remote corners. Wang Tiehan watched all of this with an expressionless face, and turned to face the people behind him.  The adjutants said: "Let the commander of the 729th Battalion come to see me immediately!  "    "yes!  "An adjutant stood up and responded, but he became worried for the commander of the 729th Battalion. Not long after, the commander of the 729th Battalion, with a gray face and wet blood stains on his uniform, came to Wang Tiehan. Wang Tiehan looked at him.  The subordinate who ordered you to kill him asked in a serious tone: "Who asked you to massacre the city?  "The commander of the 729th Battalion was happy and undaunted. He raised his head and chest and said: "Returning to the teacher's seat is not a humble duty."They didn't intend to massacre the city, but the Japanese resisted throughout the city and killed our soldiers. The humble officer had no choice but to fire back!  " Wang Tiehan was so happy that he kicked the commander of the 729th Battalion on the buttocks and cursed with a smile: "You talk like farts, will children and old people resist?  Also, why are all the women in the city so fucking naked? Do they still need to take off their clothes when resisting?  " "Um, um" the 729th Battalion Commander lowered his head in embarrassment. "You kid!  Wang Tiehan patted him on the shoulder again and said in a low voice: "Well done, the little Japanese have committed all kinds of crimes on our Chinese land, burning, killing, looting, and it's time for them to pay for their debt with blood. But please remember, if you return to China, always  The commander is going to investigate, but he has to do what you just said. In addition, he immediately leads people to clean up the city to prevent the news from leaking!  "    "yes!  "The commander of the 729th Battalion was overjoyed when he heard this and stood up to answer.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 414: Night Attack

    When the 106th Division captured Kitakyushu City, they quickly occupied various dangerous locations outside Kitakyushu City and prepared to hold on.  A group of fighter planes from the Air Force also arrived and carried out destructive bombings on roads and bridges from Kurume, Fukuoka to Kitakyushu Island.  At the same time, the 107th Division and the 117th Division also used their absolute superiority to attack along the coastline and advance to the Kanmon Strait. They successively captured Kitakyushu Port and Shimonoseki Port, and basically blocked the Kanmon Strait.  The Japanese army of this generation was already very lax in their defenses. The only defensive forces they had were depleted after being bombed by the air force. Before they could recover, two divisions of nearly 50,000 troops and more than 200 tanks formed a torrent of iron armor.  It completely submerged them.  Tokyo City, Imperial Palace of Japan.  Emperor Hirohito has received the bolt-from-the-blue news that the First Fleet of the Navy has been annihilated and Kitakyushu is under siege.  He was furious in his study, and Minoru Saito, who came to report, was scolded so badly that he became silent.  After scolding for nearly ten minutes and using almost all of Japan's national curses, Emperor Hirohito paused for a moment, took a few breaths, pointed to Saito Minoru's forehead and said: "Saito Minoru, I'll give you two days."  When the time comes, I must drive the Chinese people into the sea. I will never allow the armed forces of any country to land on our land. Do you understand? "Hai, I will mobilize the troops immediately to prepare for a counterattack!"  Get out!" Emperor Hirohito waved his hands in disgust.  Saito Minoru immediately felt as if he had received an amnesty, turned around and left quickly as if running away.  Back at the Prime Minister's Office, Navy Prime Minister Shiro Kato and Army Prime Minister Hirano Shouki had been waiting for a long time.  The two of them had very different expressions and each had their own concerns. Kato Shiro felt sad and lost because of the annihilation of the Navy's First Fleet.  And Hirano Shaoqi was also frightened by his carelessness, fearing that Saito might pull him out in front of the emperor and use him as a scapegoat.  Although it is said that the emperor of Japan is now basically independent of political affairs, all matters of the Japanese Empire are decided by the cabinet.  But if His Majesty the Emperor is really angry.  That is something that no one, not even Prime Minister Minoru Saito, can bear.  Because in the minds of the Japanese people, His Majesty the Emperor is the greatest. He is a very prestigious god and the god of the entire Yamato nation. His prestige cannot be replaced by anyone.  Seeing Saito Minoru walking in with a bad look on his face, Kato Shiro and Hirano Shaoqi both stood up subconsciously.  Saito Minoru walked in with a cold snort. Hirano Shaoqi felt guilty and took the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what did His Majesty the Emperor say?" Saito Minoru sat down.  He looked at him angrily and said: "His Majesty the Emperor is very angry and requires the navy and army to defeat the China Army within two days and wipe them out. Otherwise, you and I, everyone here, will be waiting for a military court.  !” Saito Minoru’s words came out with anger and were a bit serious, but it was different in the ears of Hirano Shaoqi and Kato Shiro.  The two of them couldn't sit still. Hirano Shaoqi immediately spoke first: "Prime Minister Saito. I had ordered the 18th Division to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for battle. Who knew they turned a blind eye to my order, and the defense line was completely destroyed.  They were so weak that they were easily broken through by the Chinese. "I will definitely hold them accountable for their military actions!" "The destruction of the Navy's First Fleet is too shocking. Is it possible that the Chinese army's air force and submarine force are already strong?"  So far?" Kato Shiro's words seemed to be telling and asking himself.  After hearing this, Saito Minoru's tone softened slightly and said: "Now is not the time for you two to be discouraged. It is also not the time to hold people responsible. We should gather all the forces we can muster and immediately launch a counterattack against the Chinese. Kill them  "Total destruction!" "Your Excellency, according to the latest information from the front line, Kitakyushu Island and the Kanmon Strait area have been occupied. The current strength of the Chinese landing force should be five or six divisions, about 100,000 people, and the Chinese have an air force.  Help! With the strength of the active troops on Kyushu Island, it may be difficult to defeat them alone. Therefore, I believe that we must immediately mobilize reinforcements from Honshu Island to attack from both sides and destroy the Chinese troops before they arrive.  The enemy troops have already landed. Otherwise, once the enemy's follow-up troops arrive and join the first batch of landing troops, the situation will become even worse." After saying this, Hirano Shaoqi looked at Kato Shiro and said: "Of course.  , To do this, we need the cooperation of the navy. After all, where is the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people? Without the help of the navy, it will be difficult for us to eliminate them before their follow-up troops arrive. " Saito Shiro is not allowed to come out.In a loud voice, he said straightforwardly: "You don't have to worry about this. The navy will go all out to assist the army in combat. Tell me what kind of help your army needs." A trace of pride flashed in Hirano Shaoqi's eyes and he said: "First of all,  The naval fleet must find a way to stop the second batch of landing troops transported by the China Navy. "Furthermore, we need the air fire support of the navy's sea-based aviation force!" "Hirano-kun, what I want to tell you is that our naval warfare.  The most powerful First Fleet could not stop the advance of the Chinese army for even two hours. Also, according to the size of the Chinese navy, their transportation capacity will never exceed 70,000 people. So, what you said.  Yes, a hundred thousand landing troops is simply nonsense!" Kato Shiro said tepidly.  Hirano Shaoqi suddenly blushed and said, "Yes, maybe what I said is a bit exaggerated, but Lord Jiateng, what do you do with your navy? It consumes so many resources of the empire every year, and its performance is so miserable."  "Don't you think you should explain why?" "Huh, your army consumes a lot of strategic resources every year, right? But you have lost hundreds of thousands of troops in just two years.  Losing Manchuria and losing the Korean Peninsula that the imperial army had occupied for a long time, how do you explain this?" Katoshiro retorted lukewarmly.  "You! You bastard, Kyushu Island was attacked by the Chinese, and you are not to blame" Hirano Shaoqi jumped up and yelled as if someone had stepped on his tail.  "Bagaya Road! Shut up!" Saito Sanji trembled with anger, slammed the table, and shouted: "How long has it been? You are still here blaming each other. If you ask me, you two should commit seppuku."  Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor. It is regrettable that the army lost Manchuria and Goryeo, but the navy was so vulnerable that it was even more difficult to escape the blame at the gate of our country." Seeing Saito Minoru getting angry, Katou Shiro and Hirano Shoki suddenly lost their temper.  They all stopped and sat down.  Saito Minoru glanced at them and then said: "First of all, the Chinese army that invaded Kyushu Island should undoubtedly be their vanguard force. We must first deal with this enemy force. Then we can concentrate all our efforts to defend the homeland.  Therefore, I have decided that your navy must assume the task of providing cover for the army and blocking the enemy's second-tier landing force!" "For the sake of the entire Yamato nation and the safety of the Japanese Empire, please unite, in just a few days!  In the past year, China's Northeast Frontier Defense Force has become a serious threat to the imperial army and has turned to attack our homeland. "Don't you know that we are thinking deeply and vigilantly at this time?"  An adjutant walked over quickly with a panicked expression. Saito Minoru waved to him directly and said: "If you have any latest news, report it directly and let the two prime ministers hear it!" The adjutant did not dare to disobey.  He immediately stood up and saluted and reported: "There is an urgent message from Kurume. The Chinese have captured Kyushu Island and massacred all the Yamato people in the city, 30,000 people in the city. No one, old, young, women, and children was spared!" Saito Minoru and others immediately arrived.  He took a breath of air and felt anger rising in his heart.  Saito Minoru suddenly slapped the table with a livid face.  Roaring: "Look, you guys, the extremely vicious China people are here. This is what they did after they captured our city. Thirty thousand Yamato people, thirty thousand people! If they were allowed to capture the entire Kyushu Island,  Then we are the eternal sinners of the entire Yamato nation!" Shiro Katō and Shoki Hirano also looked sad, and they stood up and expressed their opinions: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I will definitely order my subordinates to go all out to fight the Chinese people to the end.  !” …………………Kita Kyushu Island City, Wang Tiehan has moved his headquarters here.  The Japanese corpses in the city have been cleared, and the soldiers of the 106th Division have also built a strong defense line based on Kyushu Island City.  In the headquarters, a staff officer was reporting to Wang Tiehanhui: "Commander-in-Chief, the 107th Division and the 117th Division have all arrived at their predetermined positions and have begun to build defensive fortifications. Their defense lines echo ours and are the horns of each other." "  Well, good, what we need to do now is to wait for the main force to arrive. Before the main force arrives, we must not let a kid enter Kyushu Island from Honshu Island, and we must not let go of a kid from Kyushu Island!" Wang Tiehan nodded!  road.  The staff officer nodded and asked: "Commander, just now the tank regiment called to ask if it can take the initiative to find effective forces to destroy the Japanese aggressors and give full play to the mobility advantage of our tank and armored forces." Wang Tiehan pondered for a while and said: "  Yes, the best defense is to attack. We can gather all the tank regiments of the three divisions to form an armored division to attack Kyushu.?Carry out maneuver operations in the hinterland.  This will be more effective against the Japanese army and more conducive to our defense!  " "Okay, I'll give them power now, humble job.  "The staff officer saluted and turned to leave. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? At seven o'clock in the evening, Tokyo time, it was completely dark. The three tank regiments had completed their assembly two hours ago in accordance with Wang Tiehan's order. This  They had already left Kitakyushu Island under the cover of darkness and advanced towards the Tagawa and Yukashi areas. The Northeastern Border Guards had already built a solid defense line here, as the distance to the other side was less than 1 meter.  Kilometers away, the Japanese troops on the other side discovered that this place was occupied by the squadron, and attempted to launch a surprise attack at night to recapture the Xiaguan port. So at this moment, more than 500 Japanese soldiers with samurai cloths wrapped around their heads were hurriedly boarding the port.  A dozen surviving wooden boats were found and rowed quietly towards the other side. The south bank was occupied by the Northeastern Border Guards. In a trench, two Northeastern Border Guards soldiers were sitting weakly in the trench with their eyes closed and taking a nap.  Both of them were seasick and vomited countless times along the way. After landing, they marched all the way here in a hurry. Until now, they couldn't even eat a hot meal. The weather was cold, so they were right next to each other.  Keep warm and rest with your eyes closed. In a single trench about three or four meters away from them, there is a rifleman lying on his back. If the head with the steel helmet did not rotate slightly from time to time, you would even think it was a corpse.  Dead body. This rifleman is not an ordinary infantryman. The rifle he uses is a Mauser 98 manual sniper rifle. He is a famous sharpshooter in his class, and no fewer than 100 Japanese have died under his gun.  There are twenty people, and there are countless puppet soldiers. At the same time, he is also the squad leader of this infantry squad. His subordinates are very tired, and many of them are suffering from seasickness. Only he, the squad leader, is from Orion and knows how to swim.  So he personally served as the observation post. As a sniper, his strength and hearing are not bad. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a faint sound on the cold windy water. It was not sea water.  Although the sound was small, the sniper squad leader with a sharp ear caught it immediately. With great vigilance, he gently took out the signal gun and fired a white flare at the sea in front of him.  It was emitted, blooming with a dazzling white light, and immediately illuminated the sea and beach in front of their position like daylight. Their position was built on a favorable terrain slightly higher than the beach, about a few meters. Looking down from a high position, the sea and the beach were illuminated like daylight.  The scene was clear. The sniper squad leader suddenly changed his color. Under the white light, the dark crowd was quietly approaching them. There were several wooden boats crowded with shadows on the water and they were docking. The sniper squad leader immediately let out a shrill howl.  : "There is a situation, the enemy is attacking at night, prepare to fight!  !  !  " After saying that, he raised his sniper rifle and aimed at a Japanese soldier with the remaining light of the flare, and decisively pulled the trigger. "Pa" a gunshot sounded, and the Japanese soldier fell down. "The gunshot sounded,  The trenches that had been silent just now began to boil. Hundreds of Northeastern border guards woke up from their sleep, picked up the cold steel guns in their hands, turned around, and fired some flares and flares at the coast.  The shot came out, and it was very dazzling in the night.  Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were shot down in large numbers, and screams could be heard from the beach.

    "Shoot! Shoot! Hurry!" A Japanese officer on the beach roared at the top of his lungs while waving his command knife.  In the dark night, flares illuminated the beach like daylight. Hot and dazzling flames spurted out, pouring the hot bullets towards the beach like water.  The Japanese soldiers who charged desperately were cut down in pieces like withered grass. Occasionally, some Japanese soldiers picked up their 38 rifles and resisted with weak firepower.  The Japanese officer quickly became the target of the sniper squad leader. With the light of fire and flares, the sniper squad leader aimed at him, who was constantly roaring at his subordinates for charging.  When the Japs officer’s head appeared in the crosshairs, the sniper squad leader immediately and decisively pulled the trigger.  Amidst thousands of gunshots, a 7.92mm rifle bullet accurately shot into the head of the Japanese officer with a hot whistling sound.  The bullet entered his forehead and came out from the back of his head, smashing his entire brain tissue to pieces.  The Jaap officer's roar suddenly stopped, and he fell straight backwards. Before his body fell, the saber he had been waving in his right hand just now fell to the ground with a clang.  "Boom! Boom!" Some grenades were thrown out by several Northeast Border Guard soldiers, and they immediately exploded violently.  "About seven or eight Japanese soldiers who were charging forward with their 38-inch rifles howling and crouching were suddenly bombarded and screamed again and again, and fell into a pool of blood one after another.  Behind the Northeast Frontier Defense Force’s defense line, more and more reinforcements arrived after hearing the news. Sixty thousand troops occupied the Kanmon Strait. They have not yet been counterattacked by the Japanese’s absolutely superior force.  They still had plenty of troops. Facing the Japanese night attack of less than one infantry brigade, they had an absolute advantage in strength.  As more and more Northeastern border guards arrived to join the battle, more than 500 Japanese soldiers were quickly killed and injured, and the entire army was wiped out.  On the eve of the end of the battle, dozens of Japanese remnants tried to board the ship and escape, but the ship was turned into ruins by mortars and rocket launchers from the Northeastern Border Guards.  When the comrades are cleaning the battlefield.  The sniper squad leader who first issued the warning was sitting in the trench, holding the sniper rifle in his arms, holding a dagger in one hand, and carving something on the gun.  Seven, plus the ones we killed before, the total is eighty-nine, eleven short of one hundred. Well, next time, work harder, and try to break through one hundred as soon as possible.  The sniper squad leader looked at the scratches on his gun.  Muttering to himself, "In Kitakyushu Island City, the headquarters of the first batch of landing troops."  Wang Tiehan was awakened from his dream by the intensive sound of gunfire that had just come from the direction of the Kanmon Strait.  Without even getting dressed, he walked out of the small single room in the bedroom, went to the combat conference room and asked, "What's going on? Where was the sound of gunfire just now?" A staff officer on duty was also puzzled and said, "Deputy commander, you have a humble position.  I don’t know. I just hung up the phone with the 107th Division Headquarters, and they can’t tell. But they have sent someone to check, and there should be news soon.”  , the phone rings in vain.  The staff officer on duty reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello. Yes, this is the headquarters. What happened with the gunshots just now? Oh, oh. Okay, I understand. I will report to the commander-in-chief immediately." The staff officer on duty hung up the phone.  back.  He raised his head and said to Wang Tiehan: "Deputy Commander, what's going on is that a small Japanese army just came over from the other side of the Kanmon Strait and attempted to launch a sneak attack on our forward position. We discovered it in time and annihilated it." Wang  Tiehan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If we go deep into the enemy's territory, changes may happen at any time. It seems that we have to be more vigilant. We order all the troops on duty to be more vigilant, just in case, the Japanese may launch a counterattack against us at any time.  "Attack." "Yes, I will call each division and regiment immediately." After the duty officer saluted, he was ordered to leave.  ???…………………Kurume, the headquarters of the Japanese 18th Division.  Although it was already late at night, the division leader Nakamura Taniichi was not sleepy at all and was smoking one cigarette after another.  With a frown on his face, he smoked and paced back and forth with one hand in his pocket.  Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Nakamuraya turned around in vain, only to see his chief of staff Yungo Hyakuga walking in in a hurry.  "Hakuga-kun, how is the situation?" Nakamura Taniichi immediately asked.  "General, the situation is not optimistic. Kitakyushu Island has fallen. The reinforcement reconnaissance force we sent out discovered a large-scale Chinese tank and combat vehicle unit. In order to avoid repeating the old mistakes of the 55th Infantry Regiment, they have entered  Hiding in Asakura and other cities??Hold on.  "Hakuga Yungo said with a sad expression. When Nakamuraya heard this, his brows knitted together. Although he was unhappy, he also knew that this was a helpless move by the rescue force. Because the 55th Infantry Regiment had already suffered a heavy blow before.  In addition to the losses suffered by the enemy's tank troops, the imperial army suffered heavy losses from the China Army's armored tank troops on the battlefields of Manchuria and Korea. As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and lost the city and territory. Therefore, they defended the fortified city.  , is currently the only effective way to deal with the tanks of the Northeast Frontier Force. "Who said that the performance of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese Empire is so backward? No effective anti-tank weapons have been developed." Nakamuraya frowned.  Speaking, Chief of Staff Yungo Hyakuga said: "General, hasn't the base camp begun to mobilize reinforcements from Honshu Island?  We currently don't have many troops, and reinforcements from the directions of Kumamoto and Nagasaki are still on the way. I think it is not appropriate to take the initiative, and we should hold Asakura and Kurume to wait for reinforcements.  Once the reinforcements arrive, we will attack from the north and the south, and we will definitely be able to wipe out all the Chinese troops that have invaded our territory.  " Nakamuraya thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's it, we must also step up the mobilization of reserve personnel in the Kurume area and be ready to expand the troops at any time in case of emergency!  ” …………… After daybreak, outside Tagawa City, a torrent of steel consisting of three hundred tanks and combat vehicles from three tank regiments was swarming past on the road 2 kilometers outside the city. There was originally a Japanese army stationed outside Tagawa City.  After learning that the Japanese squadron had landed and Kitakyushu Island had fallen, the Japanese squadron, which had already received the news, quickly entered Tagawa Castle and organized young and middle-aged reserve officers and soldiers in the city to defend the city.  The Japanese troops on board looked a bit panicked and were waiting with weapons raised. It was obvious that they had been informed of the arrival of this surging Chinese armored force. The person responsible for leading this tank armored force was the colonel of the reorganized 106th Division's direct tank regiment.  Commander Xing Zhanqing. Commander Xing, there is Taguan City ahead, but the little devil seems to be prepared. Look at the city gates being closed, as if facing a formidable enemy. "Not far from the city wall, two tanks stopped.  On the side of the road, a tank regiment leader pointed to Xingzhanqing Road from Tianchuan City ahead.  Xing Zhanqing stood on the tank, raised his binoculars with both hands and looked forward. Wherever he looked, he could clearly see the fortifications built by the Japanese on the female wall.  From time to time, there were Japanese soldiers walking back and forth carrying various defensive supplies and ammunition.  "How about it? Do you want to fight or not?" the regiment leader looked sideways at Xing Zhanqing and asked.  Xing Zhanqing put down the telescope and said slowly: "This is not far from Kitakyushu Island. All roads and railways leading to Kitakyushu Island pass through here. It can be said to be a choke point. Logically speaking, we should capture it and let the infantry hold on here, but our  We don’t have enough troops to block the entire Kanmon Strait. I don’t think the commander-in-chief will agree to divide the troops from Kitakyushu to stay here. “What should we do? Let’s abandon such an important place.  The island has more strategic significance and is more convenient to block the Japanese counterattacks from Nagasaki, Kumamoto and Kurume," said the regimental commander.  "Who says it's not, but this is just a local perspective. From a strategic perspective, Kitakyushu Island must be defended. Because we not only have to block the Japanese counterattack from Kyushu Island, but also deal with the Japanese attack from Honshu Island.  ."Xing Zhanqing.  “Then what should we do?”  The leader looked at the map and said in surprise.  "Yes, it's Xingqiao. It's a city by the sea. There may be a port. A port means there are factories. Our task is to destroy. There are too many things in such a port city that are worth destroying."  There was a proud sneer.  With his order, the troops quickly turned eastward, coming and going like the wind, and soon disappeared into the billowing smoke.  On top of Tagawa City, a Japanese major said to a middle-aged man in kimono: "Mr. Mayor, the Chinese have evacuated, and we are safe for the time being." The middle-aged man is the mayor of Tagawa City (similar to  The county magistrate of a small county in China) is named Junichiro Utsu.  After listening to what the major officer said, Utsujunichiro couldn't help but take out a sweat towel and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was obviously frightened by the large group of armored torrent outside the city just now.  "Major Suzuki, what are your plans?"???  "Utsu Junichiro was deeply afraid that the frightening torrent of armor would come back, so he quickly asked the major officer. The major officer replied: "I have reported the situation in Tagawa to my superiors, and I believe reinforcements will arrive soon.  Before the reinforcements arrived, my superiors ordered me to lead my men to stick to Tagawa and protect the safety of all Yamato people in Tagawa Castle to the death.  " Utsujunichiro secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly and said: "That's good, that's good.  "Major Suzuki, if you are staring right now, I have to go back and do some comfort work for the citizens."  "After Utsujunichiro finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the city wall.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 416: Three-Guang Policy

    Early the next morning, the sun was rising. Covered by a thin layer of dense fog, the red ball-like sun almost reflected the eastern sky red.  . The thin sunlight shines on Xingqiao Castle, giving people a warm feeling.  But at this time, the people standing in Xingqiao Castle bathing in the morning light are no longer the Japanese who have lived here for generations, and all the large and small sun flags hanging on the city head and in the city have disappeared.  Instead, there are blue sky and white flags standing on the top of the city on all sides, fluttering in the wind.  Last night, Xing Zhanqing led his tank troops to appear unexpectedly outside Xingqiao City with lightning speed.  At that time, there were only some local gendarmerie police stationed in the city, and there were no regular troops.  The nearest Japanese military camp to this city is also at the foot of a mountain forest fifty miles away.  “These Japanese police and military police are very mixed, including retired soldiers and local recruits. Although most of them have been in the industry for a long time, most of them have never been on the battlefield.  Even some retired military personnel have had their energy eroded by the years of peace.  Such a small force, numbering only a few hundred, was suddenly attacked by a huge army composed of hundreds of tanks and chariots. The result can be imagined.  The Japanese military police, who were completely in panic, could not hold on for even an hour before they were broken into by the armored soldiers of the Northeast Border Guard.  Before entering the city, Xing Zhanqing ordered people to surround the four gates early in the morning, so more than 500 Japanese military police police were surrounded and annihilated in the city.  Some people were lucky enough to escape to the homes of their relatives in the city, and survived temporarily.  However, the escape of these Japanese soldiers soon brought consequences.  By daybreak, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force had completely controlled the entire Xingqiao City, and had just defeated the Japanese reinforcements that had arrived after hearing the news from fifty miles away.  An officer reported to Xing Zhanqinghui: "Sir, the Japanese resistance in the city has basically been eliminated. However, according to reports from brothers below, many Japanese have taken refuge in some residential buildings in the city. What do you think we should do?" Xing Zhanqing  Hearing this, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "Search, search door to door. If any suspicious persons are found, arrest them all immediately, and then take them to the wilderness outside the city and bury them alive!" "Yes!" The officer suddenly stood up and promised,  He immediately turned around and left quickly.  About two hours later, the officer came back with sweating profusely. He panted and said to Xing Zhanqing: "Sir, there are quite a lot of Japanese soldiers who have sneaked into civilian houses. Brothers have arrested several of them."  Thousands of people.”  After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Xing Zhanqing said in a low voice: "The Japanese army's defeat will cause endless troubles. We must eradicate them all, so" Xing Zhanqing finished his words and raised his hand to make a clicking gesture.  The officer immediately saluted and took the order and left.  "Wait!" Xing Zhanqing suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said: "While arresting people, don't forget our mission. Order the Second Battalion to destroy all Japanese factories and transportation facilities inside and outside the city as soon as possible." "  I'm afraid the city will have to be burned down, because I just checked and found that many Japanese companies and factories in Xingqiao are built in the city," the officer said.  "Then burn the city, do it without stopping, and pull all the Japanese in the city out of the city, and then hum!" Xing Zhanqing said with murderous intent in his eyes.  At noon that day, more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians in Xingqiao City were escorted out of the city in batches, and were all killed by the Northeastern Border Guards by burying them alive and shooting at them.  After the bloodbath in the city, Xing Zhanqing ordered his subordinates to place explosives in the city and set it on fire.  After bursts of violent explosions, the entire city was enveloped in blazing fire and billowing smoke.  After turning Xingqiao into ruins, Xing Zhanqing and others continued to advance southward along the east coastline of Kyushu Island, continuing their sabotage mission.  At the same time, heading towards Kurume.  The reinforcements coming from the direction of Nagasaki and Kumamoto, totaling one division and two regiments, about 30,000 people, finally arrived in Kurume by train and met up with Nakamura Tanichi's 18th Division.  18th Division Headquarters.  Nakamura Yaichi and the current division commander of the Sixth Division, Igo Masaichi, and others saluted each other one after another.  He said politely: "Igo-kun, Kobayashi-kun, you have finally arrived. It's great." "Nakamura-kun, the situation in Kitakyushu Island is critical. Let's not waste time and lead our headquarters to set off as soon as possible." Igo was just in time.  On the way here, I had learned about the situation in Kitakyushu Island through a telegram, and made an immediate decision.  "What Mr. Yiwu said makes sense, but the base camp just sentAn urgent telegram informed us that reinforcements from Honshu Island have begun to gather and are rushing to the Kanmon Strait.  Should we advance to the Tagawa area first, wait for reinforcements from Honshu Island to arrive, and then agree to launch an attack at the same time? The possibility of a successful flanking attack from both sides is much greater!  "Nakamuraya said: "After all, the Chinese are quite powerful in combat. It would be difficult to defeat them with just the strength of our two divisions.  " Yiwu Zhenghe nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, what General Nakamura said is absolutely true. We have already had a profound experience of the fighting power of the Chinese in Manchuria and North Korea, so let's do what you said.  " Just as Igo finished speaking, Nakamuraya was about to order the troops to set off. A burst of rapid footsteps came from outside: "Report~!  "A Japanese lieutenant ran in with a hurried look and said before saluting: "Your Excellency, General, please report urgently while crossing the bridge!  " "Xingqiao?"  "Nakamura Yaichi, Igo Masato, Momaga Yungo and others all looked shocked. Nakamura Yaichi even waved his hands and said: "Tell me quickly, what happened to Yukihashi?  Come on!  " A trace of sadness passed through the eyes of the Japanese lieutenant and he said: "A Chinese tank and chariot unit attacked Xingqiao last night. The gendarmerie police in the city resisted desperately, but in the end they were outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out. An infantry brigade stationed at Xingqiao  They were also defeated by the Chinese.  After the city was broken, the Chinese captured all the Yamato people in the city and killed them all outside the city on the pretext of capturing defeated soldiers!  No one among the 20,000 people and his subjects was spared, they were all killed!  "At the end of the sentence, the Japanese lieutenant was already choked up. "Damn it, damn Chinese people, bastards, they are simply crazy!  "The faces of Nakamuraya and others were pale, and they gnashed their teeth and cursed angrily. "And~" the Japanese lieutenant said again: "After the Chinese massacred the entire city, they set fire to the city. Now Xingqiao has become a ruin.  " "Baga Ya Road!  How disgusting!  "Nakamuraya gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. "Where are these Chinese enemy troops going now?  "Chief of Staff Hyakuga Yungo asked calmly. "We went south along the east coast.  "The Japanese lieutenant replied. "Hakuga Yungo took the lead and turned around and walked to the map. He took a look at the map and immediately jumped up and shouted: "No, the Chinese people's next target is probably Zhongjin!"  " "Nani?  "Nakamura Yaichi and Igo walked over quickly. "Hakuga Yungo pointed to the map and said: "Your Excellency, the two division commanders, please see, this is Yukashi Bridge. From Yukyo Bridge, go south along the east coast. It is not a hundred kilometers away.  Zhongjin is bound to become the next target of attack by this group of Chinese enemy forces.  " "What are the Chinese doing?  "Igo asked in a cold tone. "Hakuga Yungo took a breath of air and said: "The purpose of this group of Chinese enemy forces is very clear, which is to carry out the inhumane Sanguang policy of destruction to the hinterland of Kyushu Island and coastal cities, thereby delaying the development of our country."  Prevent the gathering of our Kyushu Island defenders.  This will provide great support to their troops blocking the Kanmon Strait.  "Hmph, the despicable Chinese people, don't even think about it. I will mobilize the troops to Zhongjin and kill them at all costs!"  "Igo Masaichi said angrily. "General, please don't be impulsive. At present, tens of thousands of Chinese elites have captured Kitakyushu Island and blocked the Kanmon Strait, cutting off our communication with Honshu Island. Their sinister intentions have been clearly revealed, which is to  Cut off our communication with Honshu Island, and then concentrate our absolutely superior forces to capture Kyushu Island in one fell swoop!  "Hakuga Yungo said: "It's like this, it must be like this. I just said that they sent such a tank and armored force to carry out a destructive attack along the east coast in order to hold the Kanmon Strait and wait for the arrival of the subsequent main landing force.  !  So the two generals must remember not to act impulsively, we should put the overall situation first!  " "But Mr. Baihe, are we just going to sit back and watch this group of Chinese enemy troops continue to wreak havoc?"  In this way, how many innocent people of the empire will die tragically under their butcher knives?  !  "Igo Masaichi shouted angrily and asked. "Hakuga-kun, the commander of the Igo division is right. Now that we and the main force of the 6th Division have gathered in the Fukuoka area, the east coast garrison force is empty. If we let this  If the enemy forces wantonly burn and loot, the consequences will be disastrous!  "The commander of the 18th Division, Nakamura Yaichi, nodded in agreement and said to Yungo Baiga. "General, your Excellency, what you said is not unreasonable, but compared with the entire Kyushu Island, and even the entire Japanese Empire, the safety gains and losses are  , the coastal cities on the east coast are insignificant.  However, in order to prevent the tragedy of Yuhashi from happening again, I suggested that the shogun quickly send a message to Nakatsu, Beppu and other defenders on the Kunisaki Peninsula, and immediately adopt the policy of clearing out the country and holding on to the city. At the same time, more anti-tank defenses were set up outside the city.Trenches were dug to resist attacks by Chinese tanks and vehicles.  "Hakuga Yungo insisted on his own opinion and analyzed. "Hakuga-kun, do you mean that the entire Kyushu Island will be captured by the Chinese?  Isn't this a bit too alarmist?  You know, this is on our soil. Even if China's northeastern border guards are well-equipped and powerful, I don't believe that our Imperial Japanese Army can mobilize millions of troops at any time and even fight bloody battles across the country.  Will millions of troops lose Kyushu Island?  "Yiwu Zhenghe snorted coldly. "Your Excellency General, I am just talking about the matter. Now it is an indisputable fact that the navy is defeated by the Chinese. Without the blockade of the navy and air force, the Chinese navy, land and air force will continue to land on the ground.  island.  Let me ask, if the Kanmon Strait is blocked by the Chinese, the communication between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island is cut off, and the millions of reinforcements on Honshu Island can only face each other across the sea, can our existing troops on Kyushu Island be able to withstand it?  What about the Chinese attack with hundreds of thousands of elite navy and air force?  "Hakuga Yungo asked back. "Even if the Shinas can occupy the Kanmon Strait, Honshu Island can also transport reinforcements to Kyushu Island from the Seto Inland Sea.  "Iwu Zhenghe said unconvinced. "Then what if the Chinese use submarine forces to block the Seto Kailuo?  Is it still possible for naval ships to transport reinforcements to Kyushu Island?  "Hakuga Yungo asked back to the point. "This" Yiwu Zhenghe was speechless, frowning and fell into deep thought. Nakamura Yaichi was also silent for a while, and finally said to Igo Zhenghe  : "General Igo, Baiga-kun's analysis is reasonable. We should focus on the overall situation, concentrate our forces and prepare to cooperate with the Honshu Island reinforcements. Before the subsequent Chinese landing echelon troops arrive, we must first recapture Kitakyushu Island and eliminate the first batch of the enemy.  The only thing is to land troops and reopen the Kanmon Strait.  As for the enemy army raging on the east coast, just follow Baihe-kun's suggestion and remind the defenders everywhere to take strict precautions.  " Igo Masaichi nodded helplessly and said: "Just do as Nakamura-kun said, but in order to avoid greater losses, we should jointly send electricity to the base camp and ask them to send troops to attack as soon as possible!  " ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "  We'll be back in the harbor in half an hour.  Zhang Xinghan, who was frowning at the map and thinking deeply, turned around and said, "Has the second batch of troops been prepared?"  " "Everything is ready. As soon as the fleet arrives, we can set off immediately.  " Jiang Baili replied. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to the port terminal now, and I will personally lead the landing of the second echelon!  Jiang Baili's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly advised: "Chief Commander, you are the Commander-in-Chief, are you putting yourself at risk?"  If something went wrong, this Eastern Expedition would have been in danger of total failure!  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said: "Baili, I understand your worries, but this Eastern Expedition is of great importance, so I really don't feel at ease."  By personally commanding the battle, I can not only understand and grasp the situation in a timely manner, adapt to the situation, and make the fastest response, but also greatly inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies to fight to the death.  Therefore, you will be in charge of Busan, and the follow-up troops will be coordinated by you.  " Jiang Baili knew that once Zhang Xinghan made up his mind, it would be difficult to change, so he had no choice but to nod and said: "Yes, the chief must be extremely careful, and he will lead his troops to meet up soon!  " "Don't worry, after we capture Kyushu Island, we will have a drink and celebrate with all the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition!  "Zhang Xinghan laughed and strode away with Guo Zhong and a group of guards. PS: Sorry everyone, I have been out of shape for the past two days and can't write. Today I finally recovered. I will write a big chapter of 4,000 words.  , I’ll continue my efforts in the afternoon and evening. I’m really sorry if I can write another chapter like this! (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 417: Massive Landing

    Outside Nakatsu City.  Xing Zhanqing led three tank regiments to arrive like a storm. Although the Japanese troops in the city had learned the news before their arrival, Xingqiao was only a hundred or two hundred miles away from Zhongjin.  Xing Zhanqing led his tank troops to march at full speed along the road, and it took only a few hours for them to appear aggressively outside Zhongjin City.  The rapid appearance of the Northeastern Border Guard caught the Japanese soldiers and civilians in Zhongjin City off guard. Just a few hours were not enough to build and excavate anti-tank trenches and other defenses outside the city to block the advance of the tank corps.  So the Japanese outside the city fled back to the city in a swarm before Xing Zhanqing's troops opened fire.  Just kidding, in the face of such a powerful tank troop troops, isn't it to find death outside the city of Mapingchuan?  The most correct choice is to return to the city and defend the city wall. Even this wall may not be able to withstand the Chinese artillery bombardment.  "Captain Xing, this little devil can run very fast!" A regiment commander approached Xing Zhanqing and said, "How about launching an attack immediately and using the three-light policy again?" Xing Zhanqing put down the telescope in his hand,  Shen Sheng said: "The fuel ammunition we carry is limited. If we continue to attack forcefully like this, at most we will have to return to Kitakyushu Island to replenish ammunition after capturing Nakatsu Castle. So this battle cannot be fought like this, we must use  With limited ammunition and fuel, we can achieve the greatest result. "The greatest result?" the regiment leader said curiously.  "It's very simple" Xing Zhanqing waved his hand and motioned to the orderlies on the side to take the march map, spread it on the ground and called to the other two regiment leaders: "Look, this is Zhongjin, and from now on, more than sixty kilometers to the southeast is Usa.  To the east from Usa is the Kunisaki Peninsula, where the Japanese have built large shipyards and other industrial facilities. "Commander Xing means to bypass Nakatsu and Usa and directly attack the Kunisaki Peninsula?" a regiment leader suddenly realized.  .  "That's right. The Kunisaki Peninsula is not only an important shipbuilding base for the Japanese, but also an important large city on the east coast. If this place is besieged, the Japanese troops defending the city will inevitably ask for help from the Japanese troops in the surrounding areas, and we will ambush halfway.  , unexpectedly sniped the Japanese reinforcements and eliminated their effective forces to the maximum extent, achieving the purpose of expanding the results!" Xing Zhanqing said.  The two regiment commanders nodded lightly one after another.  The defenders, as well as the Japanese from Oita and Beppu, are very likely to come out of the city to come for reinforcements. You and I will lead a feint attack on the Kunidong Peninsula. You must pass through Ming Port and Usa on the way to the Kunidong Peninsula.  Set up an ambush and try to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" "Understood!" Wu.  The two captains, Liu, responded loudly at the same time.  On the north shore of the Kanmon Strait, groups of heavily armed Japanese troops came from the road race. The long marching teams were like long winding dragons.  Due to the indiscriminate bombing of highways, railways and important bridges on the coast of Honshu Island across the Kanmon Strait by the Northeast Border Guard Air Force.  The Japanese reinforcements arriving from various parts of Honshu Island were forced to get off their vehicles and rush to the Shimonoseki area on foot.  The first ones to arrive were the Japanese troops located in the Ube and Sanyo areas. Their strength was about two infantry regiments. Behind them, there were more Japanese troops marching towards this direction.  The south bank of Kanmon Strait.  Northeastern border guard position.  Commander-in-chief Wang Tiehan, who personally brought his guards and adjutants to the front for inspection, was standing in the bunker holding a telescope to peek at the situation on the other side.  Suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him, and a communications soldier stood up and saluted: "Report to the Commander, the General Headquarters has an urgent message." Wang Tiehan turned around and said, "Oh? What are the instructions from the Commander-in-Chief?" "Cable message?"  It was sent by Chief of Staff Chiang Kai-shek. The article stated that the Commander-in-Chief has boarded the ship with the second batch of landing troops, and he will personally direct our operations. We must withstand the Japanese attack and be ready to respond!  The communications soldier said.  Wang Tiehan was slightly startled, nodded and waved his hands: "Okay, I understand." At this moment, an adjutant in charge of observation suddenly said: "Commander, look quickly, the Japanese troops on the other side have reinforcements coming.  "Wang Tiehan turned around, picked up the telescope and looked at it and said: "Inform the artillery regiments to fire on the Japanese troops in Xiaguan immediately, and hit the damn little devils hard." "Yes!" The adjutant quickly stood up and responded.  , immediately turned around and took the order to leave.  Not long after, the six 105 howitzers of the three howitzer regiments deployed on the south bank of the Kanmon Strait roared one after another.  &nbsp; The artillery shells dragged blazing tail flames and piercing screams through arcs in the air, slamming towards the Japanese troop assembly area on the other side.  Soon there was an earth-shattering explosion on the other side, and balls of scarlet flames rose from the ground, billowing black smoke into the sky.  Some are even tens of meters high.  The Japanese regiment that had just arrived was suddenly bombarded before they had time to rest. Amidst the monstrous fire and gunpowder smoke, everyone suddenly ran around in panic.  "Damn Chinese people, where are our artillery, fight back immediately, fight back!" In the light of the fire, a Japanese colonel roared angrily.  "Captain, our heavy artillery brigade is still on its way, but because the railway in the central and southern parts of Honshu Island was seriously damaged by an air attack by Chinese fighter planes, the heavy artillery brigade is temporarily unable to get through." A Japanese adjutant  He replied with a panicked expression.  "Baga, damn it! Then quickly send electricity to the navy and ask for assistance from the navy's gun group!" The Japanese colonel gritted his teeth and said: "We must not show weakness to the Chinese people on the other side. We must resolutely fight back." "Yes!" The adjutant hurriedly accepted the order.  He left, but the shelling on the other side was not over yet, so he left again and came back.  "Youjing-kun, how are you? Have you contacted the navy?" The Japanese commander who was hiding under a bunker raised his head and asked anxiously.  The Japanese adjutant shook his head with a sad face and said: "Captain, I just called the emergency headquarters to request naval reinforcements, but it said that all the main forces of the navy have been transferred to the sea to participate in the blockade and interception of the main landing of the China Army. "However, the headquarters has agreed.  "We will try our best to mobilize several warships and gunboats to provide us with artillery reinforcements, but I'm afraid they won't be able to arrive until tomorrow." "What about our aviation force?"  The main forces of the base and sea-based aviation forces have also been mobilized to participate in the battle to block the main force of the China Army. The remaining aviation forces have to shoulder the air defense mission of Tokyo and other important military areas. The Chinese air force is rampant and overflowing, which poses a great threat to our homeland.  Ah!" said the adjutant.  "Damn!" The Japanese colonel punched the sandbag hard. The damn Chinese actually forced the Imperial Japanese Army to the point where they could only passively be beaten without being able to fight back.  ………………… On the vast sea, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force naval fleet is riding the wind and waves and moving rapidly towards Kyushu Island.  There are hundreds of large and small warships, and the transport ships are covered with red flags fluttering in the wind, which are particularly dazzling under the sunlight.  It turns out that when the Northeast Navy was first established, there were only three battleships with a displacement of about 30,000 tons and ten 5,000-ton cruisers.  However, after two years of development, the Northeast Navy now has ten battleships. In addition to the original three, the subsequent seven are medium and large battleships with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons.  One of them, with a displacement of nearly 70,000 tons, was named by Zhang Xinghan after the Han national hero Huo Qubing.  This time Zhang Xinghan chose Huo Qubing as his flagship and headquarters.  In addition to battleships, the number of cruisers has also increased from the original ten to an astonishing more than eighty, including more than thirty heavy cruisers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.  The remaining destroyers, transport aircraft, and supply ships are no less than 300 large and small, and their performance is absolutely ahead of the ships of the current Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  The only regret is that due to time constraints, Zhang Xinghan did not have time to form his own aircraft carrier battle group, but this is a matter of time. Once Kyushu Island is captured and the initial purpose of containing Japan's restoration of national and military power is achieved, the formation of  The time is ripe for the aircraft carrier force.  Because this battle is bound to cause great losses to the Japanese navy and army, and for Zhang Xinghan, these losses can be exchanged for weapons and equipment, and the enemy-killing value of warships.  Although there is no aircraft carrier, Zhang Xinghan has a powerful underwater submarine force that is more flexible and cost-effective than aircraft carriers in naval battles.  This underwater dragon force with advanced equipment has made great achievements and has become a nightmare in the hearts of the Japanese navy's combined fleet.  In a large conference hall on the battleship Huo Qubing, more than a dozen senior officers from the Northeast Border Guard gathered.  They were discussing the military situation and conducting deductions around the map. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the front, smoking a cigarette and admiring the deductions of his subordinates.  Suddenly, a communications soldier wearing a navy uniform strode up to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "Report to the main office, Jiaolong has called, and an enemy navy patrol and warning ship has been spotted seventy nautical miles ahead." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan heard this.  wordsSuddenly standing up, a group of senior military officers also stopped discussing the deduction.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the map, took a puff of cigarette, raised his head and said to the crowd: "Everyone, the war is imminent. The exercise is over. Everyone will return to their posts immediately and go all out to defeat the Japanese aggressors and promote our country's prestige. At this time, I also wish to express my gratitude to all of you colleagues."  Cooperate sincerely and fight to the end for the country and the nation! ""If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" The subordinates are determined to sacrifice their lives to serve the country and will never retreat and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders!" A group of people led by Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe!  The officers expressed their stance in unison.  (To be continued)

    At the same time, in front of the entire Northeastern Navy fleet, except for two submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force, they continued to monitor three Japanese ships not far away.  The rest of the main force bypassed the three Japanese ships and sneaked behind them.  These ships are Japanese patrol ships. The main fleet is already not far behind. The purpose of the Jiaolong Task Force is very clear, which is to quietly approach the Japanese main fleet and launch an attack unexpectedly.  Destroy them severely and clear the way for the main fleet.  Under the clear blue water, dozens of submarines were sneaking quickly, like swarms of underwater dragons.  The three Japanese warships were unaware of this and kept moving forward. They were obviously also searching for the possible appearance of the Northeastern Navy.  In an Xxi submarine, the lookout who was monitoring the Japanese ship turned around and walked to the captain and reported: "Sir, the Japanese are still moving towards our main fleet. Do you want to attack them?" The young ship  Chang Wenyan pondered for a moment and said: "No, we must not open fire until the main force of our Jiaolong task force has found the Japanese joint main fleet. Otherwise, the Japanese navy will get the news in advance, which will make it more difficult for our main force to attack."  ." "Then let the Japanese patrol posts go on searching unscrupulously?" the lookout soldier said a little unwillingly.  The young captain said: "Now it depends on whether we discover the other side first, or the other side discovers us first. Of course, if our army has not found the main force of their fleet before the Japanese army is about to discover our main fleet, then we have to advance  Launch an attack, and no matter what, we will not let the Japanese know the whereabouts of our main fleet. "…………………… On the Japanese battleship Captain Gate, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval combined fleet, Nagano Shushen, was subordinate to the first fleet!  Accompanied by Commander Yamamoto Isoroku and others, he stood solemnly on the large deck of the Nagato and looked at the endless blue sea and sky.  Although Yamamoto Isoroku’s First Fleet was completely lost in the previous battle, the Japanese quickly assembled the Second and Third Fleets.  Moreover, with the support of the Minister of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Nagano Shushen, Isoroku Yamamoto was not dismissed from his military post. Instead, he accompanied Nagano Shushen on board the world's most powerful battleship, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, known as the patron saint of Japan.  Aboard the flagship Nagato.  Assist Nagano Shushen in commanding this battle that affects the fate of the Imperial Japanese Army and the entire Yamato nation.  A Japanese military communications staff officer walked out of the ship's cabin and came behind Nagano Shushen, Yamamoto Isoroku and others. He suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention, saluting: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, that there is a call from the patrol ship Mengchun."  Shiliu and Nagano Shushen turned their heads when they heard the words, and the latter waved his hands with invisible pressure in his tone: "Read it." "Fierce spring lightning, so far no trace of the Chinese navy fleet has been found, our army is fifty nautical miles away  Everything is safe in the sea area," the Japanese communications staff read quickly.  After hearing this, Nagano Shushen waved his hand to signal the communications staff to leave, and then asked: "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of this? Will the navy of China's Northeast Frontier Defense Force appear?" Yamamoto Isoroku, who is as short as a dwarf,  With overwhelming hatred on his face, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "General, I believe that the Chinese will definitely appear. Because they must transport the second-tier landing troops ashore before the first batch of landing troops are wiped out by the imperial army. It's just that the Chinese  He is extremely cunning, and he is probably hiding his whereabouts to avoid our naval reconnaissance ships. " "Yes." Nagano nodded in disbelief and said, "Then what do you think we should do next, Yamamoto-kun?"  "General." Yamamoto Isoroku lowered his head slightly and said: "I suggest that we send out our submarine force and aviation force to immediately conduct a rigorous search within the 150 nautical miles surrounding our combined fleet as the center. At the same time, all destroyer squadrons should be strictly ordered to  , be vigilant, beware of the Chinese submarine force repeating their tricks!" "Yoshi, just do what you say, Mr. Yamamoto," Nagano Shushen nodded.  After saying that, Nagano turned around and returned to the cabin.  Yamamoto Isoroku and other senior generals followed closely.  Ten minutes later, more than a dozen reconnaissance planes flew out from the remaining Japanese aircraft carriers.  After nearly an hour of flight, the Japanese reconnaissance plane finally discovered the Northeast Navy fleet that was riding the wind and waves.  The anti-aircraft firepower on the peripheral anti-aircraft gunboats and destroyers immediately opened fire, and several Japanese reconnaissance aircraft quickly pulled up and turned around.  Escaped in a hurry.  "General, the Japanese reconnaissance plane has discovered our whereabouts." Inside the battleship Huo Qubing, Zhao Zhenfan hurried in and reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Oh? JiaolongteWhere are they now?  "The actions of the Jiaolong Task Force are part of a long-established battle plan," Zhang Xinghan asked. "The main Japanese fleet has not yet been found."  " Zhao Zhenfan replied. "The Japanese have searched our location.  They will definitely be eager to come and fight us.  Give Wang Yunhai and the others power to retreat immediately, and at the same time send out a reconnaissance submarine.  Once the Japanese main fleet appears, it will immediately attack it.  Zhang Xinghan pondered slightly and then ordered: "In addition, inform the air force to take off immediately and prepare to participate in the battle. All naval officers must also be ready for battle at any time to fight the Japanese to the death!"  ” ……………………… At the same time that the navy was about to start a battle with the Japanese combined fleet. The tank troops led by Xing Zhanqing also began their encirclement and reinforcement battle on the Kunisaki Peninsula. When a tank regiment (actually only one  When a battalion of Northeastern Border Guards troops appeared outside Kunisaki Peninsula City, the Japanese troops in the city panicked and immediately sent telegrams for help to friendly forces in the surrounding areas. The Japanese troops in Nakatsu, Oita and other places did not dare to neglect and took the risk to lead their troops out of the city.  , and rushed along the highway to the Kunisaki Peninsula for reinforcements. Among them, the two Japanese squadrons in Kitsuki and Takada, which were closest to Kunisaki, were the first to set out without stopping. When they reached the halfway point to Kunisaki.  They were suddenly ambushed by four tank battalions of the Northeastern Border Guards. Due to the absolute disparity in strength, hundreds of Japanese soldiers did not even have a chance to fight back, and were crushed into a bloody mass by the rolling torrent of iron armor.  The Japanese army was only a squadron and did not carry a radio during the march, so it failed to send a warning signal for help in time. Therefore, the Japanese reinforcements in Oita, Nakatsu, Usa and other places had no idea about it in only two hours.  After that, the Japanese reinforcements from the above places plunged into the pocket ambush prepared by Xing Zhanqing. The ambush location chosen by Xing Zhanqing was a plain and wooded area that was conducive to the galloping of his own tanks and armored vehicles. He hid all the tanks and armored vehicles in advance.  In the woods on both sides of the road, after the Japanese reinforcements arrived, hundreds of vehicle-mounted machine guns opened fire, and the dense raindrops of bullets crisscrossed into a network of death fire. The Japanese who were caught off guard were shot and fell to the ground.  The fuel tank of the three-wheel motorcycle was hit by a powerful machine gun bullet, and it exploded on the spot. The four Japanese soldiers who had been beaten into blood were directly blown away, causing a bloody battle.  There was no suspense. In less than two hours, more than a thousand Japanese reinforcements were wiped out. On the battlefield, Xing Zhanqing jumped out of a No. 4 tank with steel helmets.  came over and said: "Tuanzuo, this battle was so enjoyable!  Ha ha!  " A trace of pride flashed across Xing Zhanqing's face, and then he returned to normal and said: "Order the troops to clean up the battlefield, bring all the food and gasoline, and then continue southward!  "A battalion commander said in surprise: "Commander, we have won several battles in a row and killed more than two thousand Japanese soldiers. Why don't you send a message to the division commander or the commander-in-chief to report the victory?  "  " "Yes, I understand."  "Several battalion commanders stepped forward to respond and immediately took their orders to leave. On the sea, as Zhang Xinghan expected, after learning the location of the Northeast Navy, Nagano Shushen and Yamamoto  Sure enough, Fifty-Six led the navy's combined fleet to arrive, preparing for a decisive battle with the Northeast Navy. After more than ten hours of drifting and lurking, the Northeast Navy's submarine force finally discovered the main force of the Japanese combined fleet, which was more than 60 Japanese submarines.  The group launched an attack on the Japanese combined fleet. At the same time, hundreds of fighter planes from the Northeast Frontier Army's land-based air force were also ordered to arrive in time to cooperate with the Jiaolong task force to launch a joint attack on the Japanese fleet.  Battle reports came back to Zhang Xinghan like a tidal wave. “Commander, Jiaolong and Feiying cooperated tacitly and have sunk six Japanese ships and thirteen aircraft. The fierce battle is still continuing.  " "At the main station, more than 300 Japanese land-based and sea-based aviation aircraft are arriving one after another, and our air force is fighting fiercely with them.  " "The Japanese submarine force joined the battle, and Task Force Jiaolong was forced to suspend the attack on its combined fleet battleships.Try your best to kill enemy submarines.  " Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others stood around Zhang Xinghan with solemn expressions. After listening to the communications staff's report, their eyes became heavy. Zhang Xinghan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said to them: "Father-in-law, brother Guoping, you two.  People immediately went to the Yue Fei. From now on, the Yue Fei will be the flagship of our navy's combined fleet, responsible for commanding the overall battle.  " When the two heard this, their expressions changed. Wang Yizhe hurriedly asked: "Xinghan, what do you mean?  Zhang Xinghan said in a deep voice: "The Japanese combined fleet is dispatched with all its strength. This battle is extremely important. It involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three armies. I decided to lead the naval fleet to join the war immediately and fight to the death with the Japanese combined fleet!"  "(To be continued)

    "What?" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were shocked when they heard this, and the latter even hurriedly warned: "Chief Commander, you must not do this. You are the commander-in-chief of our Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the backbone of millions of soldiers.  Where your soul is, you must not risk your life." Wang Yizhe also advised: "Yes, Guoping is right, and naval battles are not as good as land battles. If something goes wrong, there will be no chance of saving it!  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hands firmly and said, "Don't try to persuade me any more, I have made up my mind." After that, Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong on the side: "Battle Commander Guo, give me my order, except for the battleship Yue Fei and the Tenth Army.  Except for the two cruisers, all the other destroyers, battleships, and cruisers immediately went into battle and warned all the naval officers that I would fight side by side with them, advance and retreat together, and fight together!  There are only two outcomes, one is that our entire army is annihilated, the other is to defeat the Japanese invaders, and there is no other third." Infected by the determination in Zhang Xinghan's words, Guo Zhong stood up and saluted with a solemn expression: "Yes!"  After Zhong took the order and left, Wang Yizhe persuaded him earnestly: "Xinghan, let's do this. You stay on the Yue Fei to command the overall situation, and I will take command on your behalf." "Commander Wang, military orders are like mountains, how can we allow them to be changed overnight? Execute the orders.  !" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.  "Yes!" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other helplessly and responded in unison.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan’s order to personally lead the naval fleet to fight against the Japanese fleet spread throughout the entire Northeastern Naval Fleet. After hearing the news, all the officers and soldiers were greatly boosted in morale and excited.  The commander-in-chief personally went to the front line and fought bloody battles with them, which was enough to make these soldiers who usually respected Zhang Xinghan as the God of War excited and crazy. Their blood boiled and they wished they could fight to the death with the Japanese invaders immediately.  The cool sea breeze blew by, and Zhang Xinghan, who had already boarded a fort, suddenly felt extremely cold.  The long-lost blood in his body boiled again, and his strong fighting spirit revived like a blowout.  It seems like I have returned to the days four years ago when I led a lone army to defend Shenyang, turned the tide, and killed the Japanese in rivers of blood.  The artillerymen who stood on the fort were very excited because of Zhang Xinghan's arrival, and their eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit.  "Chief, you'd better go back to the command room." Guard battalion commander Guo Zhongdao stood aside.  Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked at the vast sea for a while, listening to the rumbling cannons and explosions getting closer and closer as his own ships continued to move forward.  He turned around and walked down the fort and towards the command room.  Guo Zhong and two guards followed closely, following him like a shadow.  After returning to the command room, the combat and communications staff had already compiled and reported the latest battle situation.  "Chief seat. I just got the latest situation. Two Zero fighter jets of our air force were accidentally hit and damaged by the enemy fleet's air defense fire network during a fight with Japanese aircraft. All the crew members died heroically." A combat staff officer said with a heavy expression.  said.  Since the Zero fighter has been in service, there has been no battle damage. Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the news. After thinking about it, he was relieved. The Zero fighter sacrificed protection for its long range and high-speed performance.  It is not surprising that it was destroyed in the melee.  There was a pause.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Immediately send power to Gao Zhihang and order them to immediately increase the altitude of the operation. First deal with the Japanese planes, and then attack the enemy fleet!" "Yes." A communications staff officer quickly took the order and left.  On the battlefield thirty nautical miles away from where Zhang Xinghan and the others were.  Thick smoke was already billowing everywhere on the blue sea. From time to time, violent explosions suddenly erupted from the water, causing huge waves of water.  Many Japanese warships were hit and lost their ability to move.  Thick smoke was billowing above, fire was raging, and frightened Japanese sailors could be vaguely seen on the deck, hurriedly making final saves.  Before the Japanese air force arrived.  Once a Japanese ship is hit, it will soon be swooped and strafed by Northeastern Army fighter planes from the air, killing all the Japanese on the deck.  But fortunately, their air force arrived in time, forcing the Northeast Border Guard Air Force to give up its air strikes against them.  As for the underwater dragons that injured these Japanese ships, they hit them again and severely damaged them. After losing their combat effectiveness, they immediately fled to find new targets.  This gave a large number of damaged Japanese ships a precious breathing space.  Even if a Japanese ship is seriously damaged and cannot be saved, most of the Japanese sailors on the ship will have time to transfer to other ships.  In the distant battlefield, the wolf pack tactics and the battle to drive away wolves are still going on. Since they are not equipped with underwater sonar radar detection equipment, the Japanese ships cannot detect them at all.?From detection to diving to the underwater submarine of the Northeast Border Guard.  Therefore, in order to guard against the Xxi submarine's tireless attacks on our own fleet, dozens of Japanese destroyers were arrayed for defense outside the fleet. Depth bombs were continuously dropped into the sea like dumplings, and a series of violent explosions occurred one after another, bringing  A water column of more than ten meters high emerged.  The anti-aircraft weapons on the Japanese cruisers, battleships and the remaining four aircraft carriers are firing at full capacity to deal with the air force threat from the Northeast Frontier Force.  Hundreds of large and small caliber anti-aircraft weapons fired in salvos, and the rain of anti-aircraft bullets was like beams of light shooting all over the sky, which was very spectacular.  The deafening rumbling sound of cannons could be heard clearly for dozens of miles away.  "Behind the destroyer were hundreds of Japanese submarines of various types and sizes.  Unlike the Xxi submarines of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Japanese submarines at this time were not purely shooting submarines for underwater combat.  Rather, it is a backward submarine that uses submarines to approach the target, and then surfaces to launch an attack.  Since they did not have the capability of underwater combat, the Japanese submarines retreated decisively after losing more than 20 submarines in the initial battle, and their own destroyers formed an anti-submarine defense circle to deal with the Northeast Navy's Jiaolong Task Force.  He himself retreated to the rear of the destroyer to form a second line of defense. However, both the Japanese submarine force and the destroyer commander knew that such a response could only solve an urgent need and was by no means a long-term solution.  Because the anti-submarine bombs carried by the destroyer group will eventually be used up, and the anti-submarine methods at this time are almost at their limit. What will be used to stop the attack of the cunning Chinese wolf pack submarines?  This is also the helplessness of the Japanese army. Everyone knows the result, but there is nothing they can do about it. The huge difference in equipment performance between the two sides cannot be made up for in any case.  Not only could the exploding sea surface be fully visible, but the Japanese soldiers had no idea what the outcome of their battle was. It was possible that Chinese submarines had been sunk, but it was also very likely that they had already fled far away, avoiding that area.  Deadly depth charges.  In fact, the submarines of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force did withdraw from the water to safe waters when the Japanese quickly reacted and established a defense with destroyers as the main force.  The Japanese depth charges did not cause them any losses at all.  At the same time, a large-scale aerial decisive battle of unprecedented scale was also taking place thousands of meters high in the sky not far from the battlefield.  In order to win this naval and air decisive battle, the Japanese army dispatched more than 500 land-based and sea-based aviation forces. This was almost all the air force mobility that Japan could mobilize after the wars in Manchuria and Korea, excluding the defense of important areas such as Tokyo.  .  As for the Northeast Border Defense Force, in addition to guarding the four northeastern provinces, the five northwest provinces and Pingjin and other places, they mainly cover the border areas between Jilin and Heilongjiang Province and the Korean Peninsula and the Soviet Union.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???  Three hundred Zero fighter jets, one hundred and fifty BF109 fighter jets were also dispatched (most of the BF109s had a shorter range than the Zero type, and were deployed in the Sino-Soviet border area to deter the Soviet army from unexpected military struggles)) and 100  A B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.  From the perspective of the number of aircraft, the two sides are almost equal. Most of the aircraft dispatched by the Japanese army are fighter jets, and the number is much larger than that of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  But when it comes to the performance of both sides’ fighter planes, they are comparable to each other in the sky and on the ground.  Whether it is the BF109 with powerful firepower and fast speed or the Zero fighter with small turning radius, fast speed and long range, they are not comparable to the fighters equipped by the Japanese army's active sea and land-based aviation forces.  The most advanced fighter aircraft of the Japanese army is the Type 94, but this is a new type of fighter that was officially put into service last year. The total number so far is only 300. Moreover, this fighter is seven years older than the Zero fighter. In terms of aircraft performance comparison,  It's been quite an era.  Because the Japanese lost Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula and suffered heavy losses, Japan has been in a state of rest and recuperation in the past two years in an attempt to restore its national strength and combat power as soon as possible.  When Kyushu Island was suddenly attacked, the whole country in Japan was in an uproar and started to launch war machines. Time was too tight. It was less than ten days before and after. No matter how awesome Japan's industrial production capacity was, how many fighter planes could it produce?  However, Japan’s war potential is still not small. Once the war machine is fully operational, the production quantity of various weapons and equipment will increase exponentially.  After all, the industrial foundation is there, but by that time, the war on Kyushu Island should be over, and as long as the Northeast Border Guards win this battle and kill the main force of the Japanese navy and air force.  &nbsp; With Kyushu Island as the forward base of the Air Force, non-stop bombing and air raids can be carried out across Japan to destroy and consume Japan's war potential. Under this situation, the Japanese will no longer be able to stand up.  "After Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Border Guards have been trained for three to five years, they can mobilize a million troops to conquer Honshu Island and capture the old Japanese Emperor Hirohito alive."  PS: Starting from tomorrow, we will update three times a day, with at least 100,000 words updated this month.  In addition, thank you for your rewards and voting support.

    "Buzz buzz" The roar of the aircraft engine resounded through the blue sky. Chinese and Japanese fighter planes flew at high speed in the air, crossing from time to time. The dense machine shells were like dazzling fire chains crisscrossing the sky, dazzling.  In the fierce firefight like meteors, fighter planes were constantly hit by bullets, burst into flames, smoked, and crashed. Some even were directly hit by the dense rain of bullets and exploded in the air, turning into a ball of bright fireworks.  Of course, the ones that were hit, crashed, and exploded were basically Japanese planes painted with sun flag patterns.  The performance gap between the two sides' aircraft is an entire era, and the difference in the most basic flight speed is almost doubled. No matter how well-trained the Japanese pilots are, in this era where aiming depends on the pilot's sight, how can they possibly defeat the Northeastern border defense?  The military's air force?  As more and more Japanese aircraft continue to be hit and damaged, the overall strength gap between the two sides is gradually widening. The disadvantages of Japanese fighter aircraft have become increasingly obvious, and the number of battle losses has also increased sharply.  If there is no intervention from outside forces, the outcome of this air battle is already foreseeable. The only suspense is, how many Japanese planes can successfully escape back?  After all, their naval fleets are fighting bloody battles below. Do the Japanese pilots dare to retreat and escape without receiving orders?  After the air battle lasted for more than half an hour, Zhang Xinghan personally led the main force of the Northeast Navy fleet to the battlefield.  Eight battleships suddenly opened fire on Japanese destroyers more than ten nautical miles away, which were doing their best to defend against attacks by the Northeast Navy submarine force.  “Coupled with the accompanying escort of hundreds of cruisers and destroyers, hundreds of warships of all sizes, thousands of naval guns fired in unison, and thousands of shells of different calibers roared in with hot flames.  Some shells fell into the water, causing shocking waves, but more shells fell on the Japanese destroyer group.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Deafening, earth-shaking explosions sounded one after another.  The hit destroyer burst into flames, and black smoke billowed into the sky. A large number of Japanese sailors who were caught off guard were swallowed up by the explosion shock wave, turning into a bloody storm.  It was just the first salvo.  More than a dozen Japanese destroyers were unable to avoid being hit. Two of them were directly hit by super-large-caliber naval guns from the 70,000-ton super battleship Huo Qubing, and were blown into two pieces and sank quickly.  Several other ships were also severely damaged and lost the ability to move on the spot.  Japanese Navy Center, on the battleship Nagato.  The sudden loud sound of shelling shocked Nagano Shushen, Yamamoto Isoroku and others who were urgently discussing countermeasures in the combat command room.  Nagano Shushen suddenly raised his head, looked at Yamamoto Isoroku and said, "Yamamoto-kun, what's going on?" Before Yamamoto Isoroku could answer, a Japanese communications adjutant stumbled in. The person looked too hasty to salute.  Then he breathed rapidly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander. No, it's not good! The Chinese navy fleet suddenly appeared and is firing fiercely at our destroyer group. We have suffered heavy losses!" A group of navies, including Nagano Shushen,  The senior officers were all shocked when they heard this, and their expressions changed dramatically.  Only Yamamoto Isoroku's narrow eyes kept moving. When everyone was panicking, he suddenly said: "General, the appearance of the China Navy is not necessarily a bad thing for us." "Oh? Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?  ?" Nagano Xiushen asked curiously after hearing this.  Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes flashed with a trace of evil and said: "Now the Chinese Air Force is entangled with our aviation force. Unable to provide air support, we can concentrate all our forces and use the advantages of our naval fleet to attack the Chinese fleet with all our strength. As long as  If we can wipe out the entire China Navy, we will have won this battle." Nagano Shushen frowned and said, "But the aviation unit has been in emergency several times. Wouldn't it cost the aviation unit death?  "Your Excellency, if we can completely annihilate the China Navy and resolve this unprecedented crisis in the empire, then it is worth sacrificing the aviation force. Moreover, as long as we can win this naval battle, the nearly 100,000 China Army troops on Kyushu Island will be defeated."  We will use them to commemorate the fallen naval and aviation officers. "What if we cannot annihilate the China Navy before the aviation force is defeated?"  A naval admiral asked.  Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the naval admiral coldly and said: "There is never an absolute victory in a war. Its risks and benefits coexist. Yes, if we take the initiative to retreat now, we can avoid all risks.  But the consequence is that the Chinese will successfully land on Kyushu Island, and losing Kyushu Island will have a great impact on the Japanese Empire.What does it mean?  "If Kyushu Island is lost, millions of Yamato people will become slaves of the Chinese. Think about what the imperial army did in Manchuria and China. The fate of our Yamato people is already foreseeable.  The tragic experiences of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kitakyushu Island and Yukuhashi will be staged throughout Kyushu Island.  “And this is also related to the dignity of our Empire of Japan and the entire Yamato nation. If Kyushu Island no longer exists, where will the face of the Empire of Japan remain?  Where is the dignity of the Yamato nation?  Therefore, for Kyushu Island, for the dignity and glory of the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire, we will not hesitate to fight, even if the entire army is annihilated.  " At the end of the sentence, Yamamoto Isoroku, an old devil, said in a choked voice: "The mission of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet is to protect the territory of our Yamato nation from infringement. If this mission cannot be fulfilled, then it will not be fulfilled.  There is no need to exist anymore!  " Sensing the tragic tone in Yamamoto Isoroku's tone, the long-lost blood in Nagano Osamu's body boiled again, and he immediately said with finality: "Instruct all fleets to attack immediately and fight to the death with the China Navy!  " "Hai!  "A group of Japanese naval generals headed by Yamamoto Isoroku bowed their heads and responded loudly. Nagano's order to cultivate himself was quickly passed on. Hundreds of Japanese ships, large and small, were launched at full speed. Each battleship raised its muzzle and roared forward in the wind and waves.  At this time, the Japanese destroyer group had been almost completely wiped out by the full bombardment of the Northeast Navy's main fleet. Dozens of destroyers of varying tonnage were either sinking or undergoing violent explosions, and the Japanese army was only surrounded by thick smoke.  The carrier-based aircraft on the remaining aircraft carriers had already taken off to attack the Northeast Frontier Force's air force, and now there were almost not many left, so they were almost used as battleships. Under the leadership of the Nagato, they were heading towards the enemy.  The Northeast Navy, which was brutally attacking its own destroyer group, opened fire. For a time, thousands of naval guns of various calibers opened fire one after another, and the earth-shattering rumbling sound resounded in all directions above the blue sea and the sky.  "The shells roared in one after another, causing a deafening explosion. On the battleship Huo Qubing, the captain and other commanders were ordering the battleships to avoid in an orderly manner, and adjusting the muzzles to fire at the Japanese ships. In the ship's command room, Zhang Xinghan sat  The leader was smoking silently, and Guo Zhong stood upright behind him like a sculpture. "At the main seat, the Japanese fleet is coming up and is firing at us with all its strength.  "A combat staff officer walked in hurriedly and said. Zhang Xinghan took a puff of cigarette, looked up and said lightly: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, why are you panicking?  Our Huo Qubing had a displacement of 70,000 tons, which was the largest at that time. The Japanese Nagato only had a displacement of over 30,000 tons. Are you afraid of this?  Order all the ships to fire their guns with all their strength and sink them for me!  "    "yes!  "The combat staff officer quickly stood up and responded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him again: "Wait a minute, power up the Jiaolong task force. It's time for them to perform. Beat me hard this time.  We must completely wipe out the Japanese naval fleet and completely clear the way for my landing troops!  " After the combat staff left, the attentive Guo Zhong noticed that Zhang Xinghan's hand holding the cigarette seemed to be shaking. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xinghan's composure was forced to command this battle in person. He had to be nervous, because this was a one-time battle.  A battle that can be won but cannot be lost. If it fails, not only will the 60,000 pioneer troops who have landed on Kyushu Island be trapped in a desperate situation, but the hundreds of thousands of landing troops, as well as the navy and air force officers, will also die in these tens of thousands of acres.  Among the blue waves. He knew that although his ships had considerable advantages over the Japanese warships in terms of displacement, defensive armor thickness, and speed, the overall number of ships between the two sides was still quite different. Now he placed all his hopes on it.  When the main force of the Japanese fleet focuses on the decisive battle with its own fleet, the submarine force has an opportunity. As long as it can kill a few large Japanese battleships,  The Japanese flagship is likely to be among them, so the Northeast Navy is in sight of victory this time. Yamamoto Isoroku personally went to another battleship to command the battle. This was also to prevent any eventuality.  The sinking of the gate number would prevent the entire fleet from losing its command system and falling into a dangerous situation without a leader. Not long after Yamamoto Isoroku left, a Japanese naval vice admiral said to Nagano Shushen with concern: "Your Excellency, General.  Our destroyer group suffered heavy losses and was almost completely wiped out, and the entire fleet was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Chinese Navy. If the Chinese submarine force suddenly appeared at this time, how should we respond?"" Nagano Shushen said without thinking: "Hasn't Mr. Yamamoto already deployed our submarine force to take full precautions?"  "The vice admiral of the navy said anxiously: "Your Excellency, the performance of our submarines is lagging behind and is simply not enough to resist the attack of China's submarines!  " Nagano Shushen was a little panicked when he heard this: "Then what do Suzuki-kun think we should do?  ” ps: Sorry, I had something to do yesterday and I couldn’t type. There will be 100,000 words of updates this month. Don’t worry, everyone. (To be continued)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 421: Total Annihilation of the Japanese Navy (Part 2)

    The Japanese staff officer named Suzuki Kono whispered in his ear: "Your Excellency General, the naval fleet's spirit of fighting to the death and moving forward is commendable, but as the commander-in-chief of our combined fleet, it is really not appropriate for you to take risks. Therefore, in your humble position, I suggest you  Leave the Nagato flagship quickly to prevent any unexpected events." Nagano Shushen thought for a while and nodded happily: "Hey, Suzuki-kun is right, but you must not leak this news to avoid affecting the morale and morale of the imperial army.  "Hai, don't worry, General, I will do as I please!" Suzuki Hirono suddenly lowered his head and responded.  ………………………… “Boom, boom…” Huo Qubing’s naval gun salvo fired, and dozens of large-caliber shells hit a Japanese cruiser. The entire cruiser suddenly exploded violently.  The sky-high flames and thick smoke instantly enveloped and engulfed the cruiser.  In the dazzling firelight, the huge hull of the cruiser had disintegrated, and countless Japanese sailors were swallowed up by the fire and explosion shock waves without even having a chance to jump into the sea to escape.  At the same time, shells fired from the guns on the other two Japanese cruisers also hit the Huo Qubing's solid defensive armor.  The violent explosion failed to completely destroy Huo Qubing's defensive armor, but instead blasted out a large dent.  But then the shells from the two 10,000-ton heavy cruisers not far away from the Huo Qubing fell like raindrops on the two Japanese cruisers, completely crippling them and sinking them.  Although the Japanese navy had a numerical advantage, it was slightly inferior in terms of speed, artillery fire rate, and defensive armor strength. Therefore, the naval battle between the two sides fell into a fierce stalemate for a while.  On another Japanese battleship, Yamamoto Isoroku, an old Japanese soldier, frowned and conveyed the combat instructions one by one in an orderly manner.  "Your Excellency, General, the Chinese warships have much greater firepower than ours." A Japanese general standing opposite Yamamoto Isoroku said with concern.  "Yes, and the defensive capabilities of the Chinese warships are much stronger than those of our warships, especially the large battleship with a visual tonnage of more than 60,000 tons. It is even more invincible. It has sunk several of our ships in succession.  Cruiser," another Japanese officer said.  Yamamoto Isoroku glanced at them with a somewhat gloomy look, and said unhurriedly: "Individual bravery cannot win a team battle. Similarly, even though the Chinese warships are more advanced than ours, it is not enough to make up for it.  The overall strength gap between the two sides is not enough to defeat the great Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet with less victory!" Yamamoto Isoroku's words made several Japanese officers lower their heads in silence, even though they knew that even if the Imperial Combined Fleet could win this battle!  This is an unprecedented decisive battle at sea, and it will inevitably pay an extremely painful price, and I dare not say it.  Yamamoto Isoroku was authorized as the commander-in-chief.  How dare they say anything to refute the command of this battle?  Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in Yamamoto Isoroku's flagship, and the entire battleship shook violently.  The short Yamamoto Isoroku quickly grabbed the side of the conference table with his weak hands, and with a low center of gravity, he stabilized his body in time.  But several of his subordinates around him were not so lucky, and fell to the ground one after another under the violent shaking.  "Baga? What happened? What's going on?" There were shouts of anger and exclamations for a while.  Suddenly, there was another violent explosion, and a Japanese navy lieutenant stumbled in from outside.  Without waiting for Yamamoto Isoroku and others to ask, he said: "Your Excellency, Commander. No, no, we have been shot!" As soon as the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel said this, it immediately caused extreme confusion among the Japanese officers and staff present.  Yamamoto Isoroku shouted: "Bagaya Road. Shut up, everyone, and be quiet. Do you think you are worthy of being a soldier of the Japanese Empire?" After shouting to stop the panic of his subordinates, Yamamoto Isoroku  Then he turned to ask: "What happened? Is the damage to the ship's hull serious?" Seeing Yamamoto Isoroku being so calm.  The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel also quickly calmed down and quickly replied: "General, the outer armor on the right side of the ship was hit by a torpedo. It was moderately damaged, and water has begun to enter the left side of the bow!" "Torpedoes?" Yamamoto Isoroku  Six eyebrows suddenly raised and he lost his voice: "Is it the Chinese submarine force? Yes, it must be them! Damn it, what are our submarines doing?" "General, are you moving?" A rear admiral asked eagerly.  Yamamoto Isoroku waved his hand and made a decisive decision: "Commander, immediately order the captain to seal the forward cabin immediately, and also quickly order the submarine force to search for the China submarine and annihilate it, and then destroy all the remaining destroyers.Move over here, quickly!  " "Hai!  "The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel suddenly lowered his head in response, and quickly turned around to take the order. "General, the battleship has been damaged. For your safety, you'd better move as soon as possible!  "Seeing the Lieutenant Colonel leaving, the Japanese major general just continued to persuade. Others also followed suit. Yamamoto Isoroku glanced at everyone with indifferent eyes and shouted: "Baga, why are you panicking?  As a commander, how could I retreat without a fight?  Send the order, hit all the battleships, and the cruisers attack the China fleet with all their strength. As long as they can destroy their fleet, it will be worth paying no matter how high the price is!  " "General" "Okay, you don't need to persuade me anymore, just execute the order quickly!  ” ………………… Underwater, inside the No. 001 xxi submarine, the captain and leader of the Jiaolong task force, Liu Yuntao, was calmly commanding his men to launch a sudden attack on a Japanese battleship. The two torpedoes just launched were accurate.  The target was hit, but this battleship was very large, with a displacement of at least 20,000 tons. The two torpedoes failed to severely damage it. "Order No. 035 to coordinate with us to attack this battleship and sink it first."  Liu Yuntao ordered calmly. At this moment, the communications soldier suddenly said: "Captain, call number 023, a large number of Japanese submarines are coming towards us."  " Liu Yuntao took off the military cap on his head and cursed angrily: "Damn it, these bastard Japanese bastards, do you really think I'm afraid of him?  The first and second detachments were ordered to continue attacking the Japanese ships, and the third detachment immediately turned around and attacked the Japanese submarines, sinking them all without leaving any one behind.  " As soon as Liu Yuntao's order was issued, Wang Yunhai, the leader of the task force, called: "Yuntao.  Your third detachment should not change the attack target for the time being and continue to attack the Japanese surface ships with all its strength. The Japanese surface offensive is very fierce. Our main fleet is under great pressure. As for the Japanese submarines, they do not have underwater combat capabilities. For the time being,  Ignore them and attack their large battleships and cruisers first!  " After Liu Yuntao received the order, he had to quickly adjust the combat plan. He continued to attack the Japanese surface ships with all his strength. About ten minutes later, on Yamamoto Isoroku's flagship, a group of Japanese sailors and military officers surrounded Yamamoto, who was unwilling to evacuate.  Fifty-six began to evacuate in a panic. In the past ten minutes, this battleship with a displacement of nearly 30,000 has been hit by nearly ten torpedo attacks. The cabin has been flooded with water, and the ammunition compartment has exploded violently. The situation has become extremely critical.  "Baga Yalu, let me go, the Imperial Japanese Army is by no means a coward.  I will never abandon the ship and escape!  "In the crowd, Yamamoto Isoroku roared like crazy. "Pick up the general and leave quickly!  "A rear admiral saw this and ordered directly to the guards around him. The two burly ghost guards immediately lifted up the short-legged Yamamoto Isoroku and left. Yamamoto Isoroku's two bandy short legs kicked wildly  , shouted angrily, but his subordinates seemed to have turned a deaf ear and took him to the escape boat and fled in a hurry. Just as their escape boat started, another violent explosion occurred in the riddled battleship.  Under the attack of the submarine force, the main force of the Japanese naval combined fleet, which was "concentrating" on fighting the Northeast Navy, suffered heavy losses and fell into a panic when it was attacked from both sides. Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the Northeast Navy to seize the opportunity and attack.  With the cooperation of the submarine force, the Japanese ships were destroyed and sunk one by one. Two hours later, this large-scale naval battle was coming to an end. Nearly a hundred Japanese cruisers, battleships and destroyers were destroyed and sunk. In addition,  Dozens of submarines and hundreds of large and small gunboats were also destroyed and sank into the vast expanse of blue water. The Japanese soldiers who abandoned the ships and escaped were everywhere struggling, but the Northeast Navy showed no mercy. Some destroyers and gunboats.  The machine gunners on board turned their guns and began to harvest lives wantonly. The blood soon stained large tracts of sea water. Tens of thousands of Japanese navy were buried in the belly of the fish. Japanese commander Nagano Shushen and Yamamoto Isoroku and others took a small gunboat.  They fled in a hurry, and only a few Japanese ships escaped with them. At this point, the main force of the Japanese naval combined fleet was basically destroyed in one battle, and the Northeast Navy won a complete victory.  "On the battleship Huo Qubing, Guo Zhong, who has always been known for his ruthlessness, couldn't help but excitedly said to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan couldn't help showing a long-lost smile and nodded: "Well, we won. This battle is enough to compete with the Snow Sino-Japanese War.  Such a shame.  " "Commander, look at our submarine!  "Guo ZhongPointing to the sea not far ahead, one submarine after another had already surfaced.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan said: "Our army was able to win this unprecedented naval battle, and the dragons were indispensable. However, now is not the time to reward the merits. Immediately send a message to Wang Yunhai and Liu Yuntao and order them to pursue the escaping Japanese ships at full speed."  , and quickly rushed to the Kanmon Strait to join the Jiaolong detachment to assist Wang Tiehan's army in fighting the Japanese reinforcements! " "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded quickly, turned around and quickly took the order.  ps: Let me tell you a few words, Qiu Feng is really not good at writing naval battles. On the one hand, he has insufficient knowledge in this area, and secondly, he has no experience in writing naval battles. Everyone has their first time, just like men and women xo,  There is always a time when practice makes perfect. In the future, I will read more books and information in this area to recharge myself.  Therefore, I hope everyone will understand the inappropriateness of what I wrote. In addition, I would like to say that Huben is not a eunuch. Don’t worry about this. If I don’t say anything else, let’s talk about something very practical. This book is pretty good if I bought it wirelessly.  No matter what, I don't know how to be a eunuch, so I will definitely finish it.  As for some readers who are worried that the book will be unfinished after conquering Japan, I can tell you clearly that absolutely not. At present, Pig's Feet does not have the strength to occupy the entire Japan. It just conquers Kyushu Island first, similar to the Japanese conquering us.  The same as the Northeast And even if the little devils are conquered, there are many follow-up plots that can be written in this book, such as polar bears, going south and the British, American, French and other colonies?  The struggle between big powers is very interesting.  And compared with military powers such as the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union, the Japanese army is really nothing. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, are the Japanese allowed to land from Shanghai and other places, invade on a large scale, and have another Nanjing Massacre?  In this way, I have a lot more plots to write. It can be said that I can’t finish two million words just to fight against the Japanese. But I think, as a time traveler, when I have the ability to prevent the Japanese invasion of China from breaking out, I think that any time  No one wants to watch that humiliating history happen as promised, right? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  We can let the flames of war burn into the devil's land, and let them bear all the killings, all the cruelty and harm of war!  !  !

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 420: Total Annihilation of the Japanese Navy (Part 2)

    "Buzz buzz" The roar of the aircraft engine resounded through the blue sky. Chinese and Japanese fighter planes flew at high speed in the air, crossing from time to time. The dense machine shells were like dazzling fire chains crisscrossing the sky, dazzling.  In the fierce firefight like meteors, fighter planes were constantly hit by bullets, burst into flames, smoked, and crashed. Some even were directly hit by the dense rain of bullets and exploded in the air, turning into a ball of bright fireworks.  Of course, the ones that were hit, crashed, and exploded were basically Japanese planes painted with sun flag patterns.  The performance gap between the two sides' aircraft is an entire era, and the difference in the most basic flight speed is almost doubled. No matter how well-trained the Japanese pilots are, in this era where aiming depends on the pilot's sight, how can they possibly defeat the Northeastern border defense?  The military's air force?  As more and more Japanese aircraft continue to be hit and damaged, the overall strength gap between the two sides is gradually widening. The disadvantages of Japanese fighter aircraft have become increasingly obvious, and the number of battle losses has also increased sharply.  If there is no intervention from outside forces, the outcome of this air battle is already foreseeable. The only suspense is, how many Japanese planes can successfully escape back?  After all, their naval fleets are fighting bloody battles below. Do the Japanese pilots dare to retreat and escape without receiving orders?  After the air battle lasted for more than half an hour, Zhang Xinghan personally led the main force of the Northeast Navy fleet to the battlefield.  Eight battleships suddenly opened fire on Japanese destroyers more than ten nautical miles away, which were doing their best to defend against attacks by the Northeast Navy submarine force.  “Coupled with the accompanying escort of hundreds of cruisers and destroyers, hundreds of warships of all sizes, thousands of naval guns fired in unison, and thousands of shells of different calibers roared in with hot flames.  Some shells fell into the water, causing shocking waves, but more shells fell on the Japanese destroyer group.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Deafening, earth-shaking explosions sounded one after another.  The hit destroyer burst into flames, and black smoke billowed into the sky. A large number of Japanese sailors who were caught off guard were swallowed up by the explosion shock wave, turning into a bloody storm.  It was just the first salvo.  More than a dozen Japanese destroyers were unable to avoid being hit. Two of them were directly hit by super-large-caliber naval guns from the 70,000-ton super battleship Huo Qubing, and were blown into two pieces and sank quickly.  Several other ships were also severely damaged and lost the ability to move on the spot.  Japanese Navy Center, on the battleship Nagato.  The sudden loud sound of shelling shocked Nagano Shushen, Yamamoto Isoroku and others who were urgently discussing countermeasures in the combat command room.  Nagano Shushen suddenly raised his head, looked at Yamamoto Isoroku and said, "Yamamoto-kun, what's going on?" Before Yamamoto Isoroku could answer, a Japanese communications adjutant stumbled in. The person looked too hasty to salute.  Then he breathed rapidly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander. No, it's not good! The Chinese navy fleet suddenly appeared and is firing fiercely at our destroyer group. We have suffered heavy losses!" A group of navies, including Nagano Shushen,  The senior officers were all shocked when they heard this, and their expressions changed dramatically.  Only Yamamoto Isoroku's narrow eyes kept moving. When everyone was panicking, he suddenly said: "General, the appearance of the China Navy is not necessarily a bad thing for us." "Oh? Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?  ?" Nagano Xiushen asked curiously after hearing this.  Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes flashed with a trace of evil and said: "Now the Chinese Air Force is entangled with our aviation force. Unable to provide air support, we can concentrate all our forces and use the advantages of our naval fleet to attack the Chinese fleet with all our strength. As long as  If we can wipe out the entire China Navy, we will have won this battle." Nagano Shushen frowned and said, "But the aviation unit has been in emergency several times. Wouldn't it cost the aviation unit death?  "Your Excellency, if we can completely annihilate the China Navy and resolve this unprecedented crisis in the empire, then it is worth sacrificing the aviation force. Moreover, as long as we can win this naval battle, the nearly 100,000 China Army troops on Kyushu Island will be defeated."  We will use them to commemorate the fallen naval and aviation officers. "What if we cannot annihilate the China Navy before the aviation force is defeated?"  A naval admiral asked.  Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the naval admiral coldly and said: "There is never an absolute victory in a war. Its risks and benefits coexist. Yes, if we take the initiative to retreat now, we can avoid all risks.  But the consequence is that the Chinese will successfully land on Kyushu Island, and losing Kyushu Island will have a great impact on the Japanese Empire.What does it mean?  "If Kyushu Island is lost, millions of Yamato people will become slaves of the Chinese. Think about what the imperial army did in Manchuria and China. The fate of our Yamato people is already foreseeable.  The tragic experiences of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kitakyushu Island and Yukuhashi will be staged throughout Kyushu Island.  “And this is also related to the dignity of our Empire of Japan and the entire Yamato nation. If Kyushu Island no longer exists, where will the face of the Empire of Japan remain?  Where is the dignity of the Yamato nation?  Therefore, for Kyushu Island, for the dignity and glory of the Yamato nation and the Japanese Empire, we will not hesitate to fight, even if the entire army is annihilated.  " At the end of the sentence, Yamamoto Isoroku, an old devil, said in a choked voice: "The mission of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet is to protect the territory of our Yamato nation from infringement. If this mission cannot be fulfilled, then it will not be fulfilled.  There is no need to exist anymore!  " Sensing the tragic tone in Yamamoto Isoroku's tone, the long-lost blood in Nagano Osamu's body boiled again, and he immediately said with finality: "Instruct all fleets to attack immediately and fight to the death with the China Navy!  " "Hai!  "A group of Japanese naval generals headed by Yamamoto Isoroku bowed their heads and responded loudly. Nagano's order to cultivate himself was quickly passed on. Hundreds of Japanese ships, large and small, were launched at full speed. Each battleship raised its muzzle and roared forward in the wind and waves.  At this time, the Japanese destroyer group had been almost completely wiped out by the full bombardment of the Northeast Navy's main fleet. Dozens of destroyers of varying tonnage were either sinking or undergoing violent explosions, and the Japanese army was only surrounded by thick smoke.  The carrier-based aircraft on the remaining aircraft carriers had already taken off to attack the Northeast Frontier Force's air force, and now there were almost not many left, so they were almost used as battleships. Under the leadership of the Nagato, they were heading towards the enemy.  The Northeast Navy, which was brutally attacking its own destroyer group, opened fire. For a time, thousands of naval guns of various calibers opened fire one after another, and the earth-shattering rumbling sound resounded in all directions above the blue sea and the sky.  "The shells roared in one after another, causing a deafening explosion. On the battleship Huo Qubing, the captain and other commanders were ordering the battleships to avoid in an orderly manner, and adjusting the muzzles to fire at the Japanese ships. In the ship's command room, Zhang Xinghan sat  The leader was smoking silently, and Guo Zhong stood upright behind him like a sculpture. "At the main seat, the Japanese fleet is coming up and is firing at us with all its strength.  "A combat staff officer walked in hurriedly and said. Zhang Xinghan took a puff of cigarette, looked up and said lightly: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, why are you panicking?

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him again: "Wait a minute, power up the Jiaolong task force. It's time for them to perform. Beat me hard this time.  We must completely wipe out the Japanese naval fleet and completely clear the way for my landing troops!  " After the combat staff left, the attentive Guo Zhong noticed that Zhang Xinghan's hand holding the cigarette seemed to be shaking. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xinghan's composure was forced to command this battle in person. He had to be nervous, because this was a one-time battle.  A battle that can be won but cannot be lost. If it fails, not only will the 60,000 pioneer troops who have landed on Kyushu Island be trapped in a desperate situation, but the hundreds of thousands of landing troops, as well as the navy and air force officers, will also die in these tens of thousands of acres.

    "What?" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were shocked when they heard this, and the latter even hurriedly warned: "Chief Commander, you must not do this. You are the commander-in-chief of our Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the backbone of millions of soldiers.  Where your soul is, you must not risk your life." Wang Yizhe also advised: "Yes, Guoping is right, and naval battles are not as good as land battles. If something goes wrong, there will be no chance of saving it!  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hands firmly and said, "Don't try to persuade me any more, I have made up my mind." After that, Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong on the side: "Battle Commander Guo, give me my order, except for the battleship Yue Fei and the Tenth Army.  Except for the two cruisers, all the other destroyers, battleships, and cruisers immediately went into battle and warned all the naval officers that I would fight side by side with them, advance and retreat together, and fight together!  There are only two outcomes, one is that our entire army is annihilated, the other is to defeat the Japanese invaders, and there is no other third." Infected by the determination in Zhang Xinghan's words, Guo Zhong stood up and saluted with a solemn expression: "Yes!"  After Zhong took the order and left, Wang Yizhe persuaded him earnestly: "Xinghan, let's do this. You stay on the Yue Fei to command the overall situation, and I will take command on your behalf." "Commander Wang, military orders are like mountains, how can we allow them to be changed overnight? Execute the orders.  !" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.  "Yes!" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other helplessly and responded in unison.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan’s order to personally lead the naval fleet to fight against the Japanese fleet spread throughout the entire Northeastern Naval Fleet. After hearing the news, all the officers and soldiers were greatly boosted in morale and excited.  The commander-in-chief personally went to the front line and fought bloody battles with them, which was enough to make these soldiers who usually respected Zhang Xinghan as the God of War excited and crazy. Their blood boiled and they wished they could fight to the death with the Japanese invaders immediately.  The cool sea breeze blew by, and Zhang Xinghan, who had already boarded a fort, suddenly felt extremely cold.  The long-lost blood in his body boiled again, and his strong fighting spirit revived like a blowout.  It seems like I have returned to the days four years ago when I led a lone army to defend Shenyang, turned the tide, and killed the Japanese in rivers of blood.  The artillerymen who stood on the fort were very excited because of Zhang Xinghan's arrival, and their eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit.  "Chief, you'd better go back to the command room." Guard battalion commander Guo Zhongdao stood aside.  Zhang Xinghan raised his head and looked at the vast sea for a while, listening to the rumbling cannons and explosions getting closer and closer as his own ships continued to move forward.  He turned around and walked down the fort and towards the command room.  Guo Zhong and two guards followed closely, following him like a shadow.  After returning to the command room, the combat and communications staff had already compiled and reported the latest battle situation.  "Chief seat. I just got the latest situation. Two Zero fighter jets of our air force were accidentally hit and damaged by the enemy fleet's air defense fire network during a fight with Japanese aircraft. All the crew members died heroically." A combat staff officer said with a heavy expression.  said.  Since the Zero fighter has been in service, there has been no battle damage. Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the news. After thinking about it, he was relieved. The Zero fighter sacrificed protection for its long range and high-speed performance.  It is not surprising that it was destroyed in the melee.  There was a pause.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Immediately send power to Gao Zhihang and order them to immediately increase the altitude of the operation. First deal with the Japanese planes, and then attack the enemy fleet!" "Yes." A communications staff officer quickly took the order and left.  On the battlefield thirty nautical miles away from where Zhang Xinghan and the others were.  Thick smoke was already billowing everywhere on the blue sea. From time to time, violent explosions suddenly erupted from the water, causing huge waves of water.  Many Japanese warships were hit and lost their ability to move.  Thick smoke was billowing above, fire was raging, and frightened Japanese sailors could be vaguely seen on the deck, hurriedly making final saves.  Before the Japanese air force arrived.  Once a Japanese ship is hit, it will soon be swooped and strafed by Northeastern Army fighter planes from the air, killing all the Japanese on the deck.  But fortunately, their air force arrived in time, forcing the Northeast Border Guard Air Force to give up its air strikes against them.  As for the underwater dragons that injured these Japanese ships, they hit them again and severely damaged them. After losing their combat effectiveness, they immediately fled to find new targets.  This gave a large number of damaged Japanese ships a precious breathing space.  Even if a Japanese ship is seriously damaged and cannot be saved, most of the Japanese sailors on the ship will have time to transfer to other ships.  In the distant battlefield, the wolf pack tactics and the battle to drive away wolves are still going on. Since they are not equipped with underwater sonar radar detection equipment, the Japanese ships cannot detect them at all.?From detection to diving to the submarine of the Northeast Border Guard.  Therefore, in order to prevent submarines from tirelessly attacking our own fleet, dozens of Japanese destroyers were arrayed for defense outside the fleet. Depth bombs were continuously dropped into the sea like dumplings, and a series of violent explosions occurred one after another, bringing out  Water column tens of meters high.  The anti-aircraft weapons on the Japanese cruisers, battleships and the remaining four aircraft carriers are firing at full capacity to deal with the air force threat from the Northeast Frontier Force.  Hundreds of large and small caliber anti-aircraft weapons fired in salvos, and the rain of anti-aircraft bullets was like beams of light shooting all over the sky, which was very spectacular.  The deafening rumbling sound of cannons could be heard clearly for dozens of miles away.  "Behind the destroyer were hundreds of Japanese submarines of various types and sizes.  Unlike the submarines of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Japanese submarines at this time were not purely shooting submarines for underwater combat.  Rather, it is a backward submarine that uses submarines to approach the target, and then surfaces to launch an attack.  Since they did not have the capability of underwater combat, the Japanese submarines retreated decisively after losing more than 20 submarines in the initial battle, and their own destroyers formed an anti-submarine defense circle to deal with the Northeast Navy's Jiaolong Task Force.  He himself retreated to the rear of the destroyer to form a second line of defense. However, both the Japanese submarine force and the destroyer commander knew that such a response could only solve an urgent need and was by no means a long-term solution.  Because the anti-submarine bombs carried by the destroyer group will eventually be used up, and the anti-submarine methods at this time are almost at their limit. What will be used to stop the attack of the cunning Chinese wolf pack submarines?  This is also the helplessness of the Japanese army. Everyone knows the result, but there is nothing they can do about it. The huge difference in equipment performance between the two sides cannot be made up for in any case.  Not only could the exploding sea surface be fully visible, but the Japanese soldiers had no idea what the outcome of their battle was. It was possible that Chinese submarines had been sunk, but it was also very likely that they had already fled far away, avoiding that area.  Deadly depth charges.  In fact, the submarines of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force did withdraw from the water to safe waters when the Japanese quickly reacted and established a defense with destroyers as the main force.  The Japanese depth charges did not cause them any losses at all.  At the same time, a large-scale aerial decisive battle of unprecedented scale was also taking place thousands of meters high in the sky not far from the battlefield.  In order to win this naval and air decisive battle, the Japanese army dispatched more than 500 land-based and sea-based aviation forces. This was almost all the air force mobility that Japan could mobilize after the wars in Manchuria and Korea, excluding the defense of important areas such as Tokyo.  .  As for the Northeast Border Defense Force, in addition to guarding the four northeastern provinces, the five northwest provinces and Pingjin and other places, they mainly cover the border areas between Jilin and Heilongjiang Province and the Korean Peninsula and the Soviet Union.  As well as air strikes of Kyushu and Honshu Island, the Japanese reinforcements supported Kyushu Island to support the first batch of landing troops in the battle of the Kitteam Island and Guanmen Strait.  Three hundred Zero fighter jets, one hundred and fifty BF109 fighter jets) and one hundred B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were also dispatched.  From the perspective of the number of aircraft, the two sides are almost equal. Most of the aircraft dispatched by the Japanese army are fighter jets, and the number is much larger than that of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  But when it comes to the performance of both sides’ fighter planes, they are comparable to each other in the sky and on the ground.  Whether it is the BF109 with powerful firepower and fast speed or the Zero fighter with small turning radius, fast speed and long range, they are not comparable to the fighters equipped by the Japanese army's active sea and land-based aviation forces.  The most advanced fighter aircraft of the Japanese army is the Type 94, but this is a new type of fighter that was officially put into service last year. The total number so far is only 300. Moreover, this fighter is seven years older than the Zero fighter. In terms of aircraft performance comparison,  It's been quite an era.  Because the Japanese lost Manchuria and the Korean Peninsula and suffered heavy losses, Japan has been in a state of rest and recuperation in the past two years in an attempt to restore its national strength and combat power as soon as possible.  When Kyushu Island was suddenly attacked, the whole country in Japan was in an uproar and started to launch war machines. Time was too tight. It was less than ten days before and after. No matter how awesome Japan's industrial production capacity was, how many fighter planes could it produce?  However, Japan’s war potential is still not small. Once the war machine is fully operational, the production quantity of various weapons and equipment will increase exponentially.  After all, the industrial foundation is there, but by that time, the war on Kyushu Island should be over, and as long as the Northeast Border Guards win this battle and kill the main force of the Japanese navy and air force.  With Kyushu Island as the forward base of the Air Force, non-stop bombing and air raids can be carried out across Japan to destroy the news.??As Japan's war potential waxes and wanes, the Japanese will no longer be able to stand up.  "After Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Border Guards have been trained for three to five years, they can mobilize a million troops to conquer Honshu Island and capture the old Japanese Emperor Hirohito alive."

I have not been able to update well during this period. I really deserve it and feel ashamed!  !

    At the same time, in front of the entire Northeastern Navy fleet, except for two submarines of the Jiaolong Task Force, they continued to monitor three Japanese ships not far away.  The rest of the main force bypassed the three Japanese ships and sneaked behind them.  These ships are Japanese patrol ships. The main fleet is already not far behind. The purpose of the Jiaolong Task Force is very clear, which is to quietly approach the Japanese main fleet and launch an attack unexpectedly.  Destroy them severely and clear the way for the main fleet.  Under the clear blue water, dozens of submarines were sneaking quickly, like swarms of underwater dragons.  The three Japanese warships were unaware of this and kept moving forward. They were obviously also searching for the possible appearance of the Northeastern Navy.  In a submarine, the lookout who was monitoring the Japanese ship turned around and walked to the captain and reported: "Sir, the Japanese are still moving towards our main fleet. Do you want to attack them?" Young Captain  After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said: "No, we must not open fire until the main force of our Jiaolong Task Force has found the Japanese joint main fleet, otherwise the Japanese Navy will get the news in advance, which will make it more difficult for our main force to attack.  " "Then let the Japanese patrol posts be allowed to search unscrupulously?" the lookout soldier said a little unwillingly.  The young captain said: "Now it depends on whether we discover the other side first, or the other side discovers us first. Of course, if our army has not found the main force of their fleet before the Japanese army is about to discover our main fleet, then we have to advance  Launch an attack, and no matter what, we will not let the Japanese know the whereabouts of our main fleet. "…………………… On the Japanese battleship Captain Gate, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval combined fleet, Nagano Shushen, was subordinate to the first fleet!  Accompanied by Commander Yamamoto Isoroku and others, he stood solemnly on the large deck of the Nagato and looked at the endless blue sea and sky.  Although Yamamoto Isoroku’s First Fleet was completely lost in the previous battle, the Japanese quickly assembled the Second and Third Fleets.  Moreover, with the support of the Minister of the Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, Nagano Shushen, Isoroku Yamamoto was not dismissed from his military post. Instead, he accompanied Nagano Shushen on board the world's most powerful battleship, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, known as the patron saint of Japan.  Aboard the flagship Nagato.  Assist Nagano Shushen in commanding this battle that affects the fate of the Imperial Japanese Army and the entire Yamato nation.  A Japanese military communications staff officer walked out of the ship's cabin and came behind Nagano Shushen, Yamamoto Isoroku and others. He suddenly put his feet back and stood at attention, saluting: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, that there is a call from the patrol ship Mengchun."  Shiliu and Nagano Shushen turned their heads when they heard the words, and the latter waved his hands with invisible pressure in his tone: "Read it." "Fierce spring lightning, so far no trace of the Chinese navy fleet has been found, our army is fifty nautical miles away  Everything is safe in the sea area," the Japanese communications staff read quickly.  After hearing this, Nagano Shushen waved his hand to signal the communications staff to leave, and then asked: "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of this? Will the navy of China's Northeast Frontier Defense Force appear?" Yamamoto Isoroku, who is as short as a dwarf,  With overwhelming hatred on his face, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "General, I believe that the Chinese will definitely appear. Because they must transport the second-tier landing troops ashore before the first batch of landing troops are wiped out by the imperial army. It's just that the Chinese  He is extremely cunning, and he is probably hiding his whereabouts to avoid our naval reconnaissance ships. " "Yes." Nagano nodded in disbelief and said, "Then what do you think we should do next, Yamamoto-kun?"  "General." Yamamoto Isoroku lowered his head slightly and said: "I suggest that we send out our submarine force and aviation force to immediately conduct a rigorous search within the 150 nautical miles surrounding our combined fleet as the center. At the same time, all destroyer squadrons should be strictly ordered to  , be vigilant, beware of the Chinese submarine force repeating their tricks!" "Yoshi, just do what you say, Mr. Yamamoto," Nagano Shushen nodded.  After saying that, Nagano turned around and returned to the cabin.  Yamamoto Isoroku and other senior generals followed closely.  Ten minutes later, more than a dozen reconnaissance planes flew out from the remaining Japanese aircraft carriers.  After nearly an hour of flight, the Japanese reconnaissance plane finally discovered the Northeast Navy fleet that was riding the wind and waves.  The anti-aircraft firepower on the peripheral anti-aircraft gunboats and destroyers immediately opened fire, and several Japanese reconnaissance aircraft quickly pulled up and turned around.  Escaped in a hurry.  "General, the Japanese reconnaissance plane has discovered our whereabouts." Inside the battleship Huo Qubing, Zhao Zhenfan hurried in and reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Oh? The Dragon Task Force"Where are we now?  "The actions of the Jiaolong Task Force are part of a long-established battle plan," Zhang Xinghan asked. "The main Japanese fleet has not yet been found."  " Zhao Zhenfan replied. "The Japanese have searched our location.  They will definitely be eager to come and fight us.  Give Wang Yunhai and the others power to retreat immediately, and at the same time send out a reconnaissance submarine.  Once the Japanese main fleet appears, it will immediately attack it.  Zhang Xinghan pondered slightly and then ordered: "In addition, inform the air force to take off immediately and prepare to participate in the battle. All naval officers must also be ready for battle at any time to fight the Japanese to the death!"  ” ……………………… At the same time that the navy was about to start a battle with the Japanese combined fleet. The tank troops led by Xing Zhanqing also began their encirclement and reinforcement battle on the Kunisaki Peninsula. When a tank regiment was the northeastern border defense  When the Japanese troops appeared outside the city of Kunisaki Peninsula, the Japanese troops in the city panicked and immediately sent telegrams to friendly forces around Nakatsu. The Japanese troops in Oita and other places did not dare to neglect, and took the risk to lead their troops out of the city and hurried along the highway.  Reinforcements were sent to the Kunisaki Peninsula. Among them, the two Japanese squadrons in Kitsuki and Takata, which were closest to Kunisaki, were the first to set out without stopping. When they reached the halfway point to Kunisaki, they were met by the Northeastern Border Guards.  A sudden ambush by four tank battalions. Under the absolute strength gap, hundreds of Japanese soldiers didn't even have a chance to fight back, and were crushed into a bloody mass by the rolling torrent of armor. These two Japanese troops were only squadron-sized.  They did not carry a radio during the march, so they were unable to send out a warning signal for help in time after being in danger. Therefore, the Japanese reinforcements in Oita, Nakatsu, Usa and other places had no idea about this. So only two hours later, the Japanese troops in the above places were dispatched.  The reinforcements plunged into the pocket ambush circle prepared by Xing Zhanqing. The ambush location chosen by Xing Zhanqing was a plain forest area that was conducive to the galloping of his own tanks and armored vehicles. He hid all the tanks and armored vehicles in the woods on both sides of the road.  After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, hundreds of vehicle-mounted machine guns opened fire, and dense raindrops of bullets crisscrossed the area, creating a net of death. The Japanese were caught off guard and fell to the ground, especially the two three-wheeled motorcycles in the lead.  The fuel tank was hit by a powerful hail of machine gun bullets and exploded on the spot. The four Japanese soldiers who had been beaten into bloody sieves were directly blown away, leaving their limbs and arms broken. There was no suspense in such a battle.  , in less than two hours, more than a thousand Japanese reinforcements were wiped out. On a No. 4 tank on the battlefield, Xing Zhanqing jumped out of the vehicle with a steel helmet and said excitedly: "  Tuanzuo, this battle was so enjoyable!  Ha ha!  " A trace of pride flashed across Xing Zhanqing's face, and then he returned to normal and said: "Order the troops to clean up the battlefield, bring all the food and gasoline, and then continue southward!  "A battalion commander said in surprise: "Commander, we have won several battles in a row and killed more than two thousand Japanese soldiers. Why don't you send a message to the division commander or the commander-in-chief to report the victory?  "  " "Yes, I understand."  "Several battalion commanders stepped forward to respond and immediately took their orders to leave. On the sea, as Zhang Xinghan expected, after learning the location of the Northeast Navy, Nagano Shushen and Yamamoto  Sure enough, Fifty-Six led the naval combined fleet to arrive, preparing for a decisive battle with the Northeast Navy. After more than ten hours of wandering and lurking, the main force of the Japanese combined fleet was suddenly discovered. More than 60 submarines suddenly appeared like a wolf pack.  General launched an attack on the Japanese combined fleet. At the same time, hundreds of fighter planes from the Northeast Frontier Army's land-based air force were also ordered to arrive in time to cooperate with the Jiaolong task force to launch a joint attack on the Japanese fleet. The battle report was released.  Feedback came to Zhang Xinghan like a tidal wave. "Chief, Jiaolong and Feiying cooperated tacitly and have sunk six Japanese ships and thirteen aircraft. The fierce battle is still continuing.  " "At the main station, more than 300 Japanese land-based and sea-based aviation aircraft are arriving one after another, and our air force is fighting fiercely with them.  " "The Japanese submarine force joined the battle, and Task Force Jiaolong was forced to suspend the attack on its combined fleet battleships and was trying its best to kill the enemy submarines.  ” Zhao Zhen???, Wang Yizhe and others stood at Zhang Xinghan's side with solemn expressions. After listening to the communications staff's report, there was a hint of heaviness in their eyes.  Zhang Xinghan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said to the two of them: "Father-in-law, brother Guoping, you two should go to the Yue Fei immediately. From now on, the Yue Fei will be the flagship of our navy's combined fleet, responsible for commanding the overall battle."  The two men's expressions changed when they heard this, and Wang Yizhe hurriedly asked: "Xinghan, what do you mean?" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly: "The Japanese combined fleet is dispatched with all its strength. This battle is extremely important, and it affects the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three armies.  Life, I decided to lead the naval fleet to join the battle immediately and fight to the death with the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet! "

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 417: Massive Landing

    Outside Nakatsu City.  Xing Zhanqing led three tank regiments to arrive like a storm. Although the Japanese troops in the city had learned the news before their arrival, Xingqiao was only a hundred or two hundred miles away from Zhongjin.  Xing Zhanqing led his tank troops to march at full speed along the road, and it took only a few hours for them to appear aggressively outside Zhongjin City.  The rapid appearance of the Northeastern Border Guard caught the Japanese soldiers and civilians in Zhongjin City off guard. Just a few hours were not enough to build and excavate anti-tank trenches and other defenses outside the city to block the advance of the tank corps.  So the Japanese outside the city fled back to the city in a swarm before Xing Zhanqing's troops opened fire.  Just kidding, in the face of such a powerful tank troop troops, isn't it to find death outside the city of Mapingchuan?  The most correct choice is to return to the city and defend the city wall. Even this wall may not be able to withstand the Chinese artillery bombardment.  "Captain Xing, this little devil can run very fast!" A regiment commander approached Xing Zhanqing and said, "How about launching an attack immediately and using the three-light policy again?" Xing Zhanqing put down the telescope in his hand,  Shen Sheng said: "The fuel ammunition we carry is limited. If we continue to attack forcefully like this, at most we will have to return to Kitakyushu Island to replenish ammunition after capturing Nakatsu Castle. So this battle cannot be fought like this, we must use  With limited ammunition and fuel, we can achieve the greatest result. "The greatest result?" the regiment leader said curiously.  "It's very simple" Xing Zhanqing waved his hand and motioned to the orderlies on the side to take the march map, spread it on the ground and called to the other two regiment leaders: "Look, this is Zhongjin, and from now on, more than sixty kilometers to the southeast is Usa.  To the east from Usa is the Kunisaki Peninsula, where the Japanese have built large shipyards and other industrial facilities. "Commander Xing means to bypass Nakatsu and Usa and directly attack the Kunisaki Peninsula?" a regiment leader suddenly realized.  .  "That's right. The Kunisaki Peninsula is not only an important shipbuilding base for the Japanese, but also an important large city on the east coast. If this place is besieged, the Japanese troops defending the city will inevitably ask for help from the Japanese troops in the surrounding areas, and we will ambush halfway.  , unexpectedly sniped the Japanese reinforcements and eliminated their effective forces to the maximum extent, achieving the purpose of expanding the results!" Xing Zhanqing said.  The two regiment commanders nodded lightly one after another.  The defenders, as well as the Japanese from Oita and Beppu, are very likely to come out of the city to come for reinforcements. You and I will lead a feint attack on the Kunidong Peninsula. You must pass through Ming Port and Usa on the way to the Kunidong Peninsula.  Set up an ambush and try to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" "Understood!" Wu.  The two captains, Liu, responded loudly at the same time.  On the north shore of the Kanmon Strait, groups of heavily armed Japanese troops came from the road race. The long marching teams were like long winding dragons.  Due to the indiscriminate bombing of highways, railways and important bridges on the coast of Honshu Island across the Kanmon Strait by the Northeast Border Guard Air Force.  The Japanese reinforcements arriving from various parts of Honshu Island were forced to get off their vehicles and rush to the Shimonoseki area on foot.  The first ones to arrive were the Japanese troops located in the Ube and Sanyo areas. Their strength was about two infantry regiments. Behind them, there were more Japanese troops marching towards this direction.  The south bank of Kanmon Strait.  Northeastern border guard position.  Commander-in-chief Wang Tiehan, who personally brought his guards and adjutants to the front for inspection, was standing in the bunker holding a telescope to peek at the situation on the other side.  Suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him, and a communications soldier stood up and saluted: "Report to the Commander, the General Headquarters has an urgent message." Wang Tiehan turned around and said, "Oh? What are the instructions from the Commander-in-Chief?" "Cable message?"  It was sent by Chief of Staff Chiang Kai-shek. The article stated that the Commander-in-Chief has boarded the ship with the second batch of landing troops, and he will personally direct our operations. We must withstand the Japanese attack and be ready to respond!  The communications soldier said.  Wang Tiehan was slightly startled, nodded and waved his hands: "Okay, I understand." At this moment, an adjutant in charge of observation suddenly said: "Commander, look quickly, the Japanese troops on the other side have reinforcements coming.  "Wang Tiehan turned around, picked up the telescope and looked at it and said: "Inform the artillery regiments to fire on the Japanese troops in Xiaguan immediately, and hit the damn little devils hard." "Yes!" The adjutant quickly stood up and responded.  , immediately turned around and took the order to leave.  Not long after, the six 105 howitzers of the three howitzer regiments deployed on the south bank of the Kanmon Strait roared one after another.  &nbsp; The artillery shells dragged blazing tail flames and piercing screams through arcs in the air, slamming towards the Japanese troop assembly area on the other side.  Soon there was an earth-shattering explosion on the other side, and balls of scarlet flames rose from the ground, billowing black smoke into the sky.  Some are even tens of meters high.  The Japanese regiment that had just arrived was suddenly bombarded before they had time to rest. Amidst the monstrous fire and gunpowder smoke, everyone suddenly ran around in panic.  "Damn Chinese people, where are our artillery, fight back immediately, fight back!" In the light of the fire, a Japanese colonel roared angrily.  "Captain, our heavy artillery brigade is still on its way, but because the railway in the central and southern parts of Honshu Island was seriously damaged by an air attack by Chinese fighter planes, the heavy artillery brigade is temporarily unable to get through." A Japanese adjutant  He replied with a panicked expression.  "Baga, damn it! Then quickly send electricity to the navy and ask for assistance from the navy's gun group!" The Japanese colonel gritted his teeth and said: "We must not show weakness to the Chinese people on the other side. We must resolutely fight back." "Yes!" The adjutant hurriedly accepted the order.  He left, but the shelling on the other side was not over yet, so he left again and came back.  "Youjing-kun, how are you? Have you contacted the navy?" The Japanese commander who was hiding under a bunker raised his head and asked anxiously.  The Japanese adjutant shook his head with a sad face and said: "Captain, I just called the emergency headquarters to request naval reinforcements, but it said that all the main forces of the navy have been transferred to the sea to participate in the blockade and interception of the main landing of the China Army. "However, the headquarters has agreed.  "We will try our best to mobilize several warships and gunboats to provide us with artillery reinforcements, but I'm afraid they won't be able to arrive until tomorrow." "What about our aviation force?"  The main forces of the base and sea-based aviation forces have also been mobilized to participate in the battle to block the main force of the China Army. The remaining aviation forces have to shoulder the air defense mission of Tokyo and other important military areas. The Chinese air force is rampant and overflowing, which poses a great threat to our homeland.  Ah!" said the adjutant.  "Damn!" The Japanese colonel punched the sandbag hard. The damn Chinese actually forced the Imperial Japanese Army to the point where they could only passively be beaten without being able to fight back.  ………………… On the vast sea, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force naval fleet is riding the wind and waves and moving rapidly towards Kyushu Island.  There are hundreds of large and small warships, and the transport ships are covered with red flags fluttering in the wind, which are particularly dazzling under the sunlight.  It turns out that when the Northeast Navy was first established, there were only three battleships with a displacement of about 30,000 tons and ten 5,000-ton cruisers.  However, after two years of development, the Northeast Navy now has ten battleships. In addition to the original three, the subsequent seven are medium and large battleships with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons.  One of them, with a displacement of nearly 70,000 tons, was named by Zhang Xinghan after the Han national hero Huo Qubing.  This time Zhang Xinghan chose Huo Qubing as his flagship and headquarters.  In addition to battleships, the number of cruisers has also increased from the original ten to an astonishing more than eighty, including more than thirty heavy cruisers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.  The remaining destroyers, transport aircraft, and supply ships are no less than 300 large and small, and their performance is absolutely ahead of the ships of the current Japanese Navy Combined Fleet.  The only regret is that due to time constraints, Zhang Xinghan did not have time to form a mother formation battle group, but this is a matter of time. Once Kyushu Island is captured and its initial purpose of containing Japan's restoration of national and military power is achieved, the aircraft carrier force will be formed.  The time is ripe.  Because this battle is bound to cause great losses to the Japanese navy and army, and for Zhang Xinghan, these losses can be exchanged for weapons and equipment, and the enemy-killing value of warships.  Although there is no aircraft carrier, Zhang Xinghan has a powerful underwater submarine force that is more flexible and cost-effective than aircraft carriers in naval battles.  This underwater dragon force with advanced equipment has made great achievements and has become a nightmare in the hearts of the Japanese navy's combined fleet.  In a large conference hall on the battleship Huo Qubing, more than a dozen senior officers from the Northeast Border Guard gathered.  They were discussing the military situation and conducting deductions around the map. As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the front, smoking a cigarette and admiring the deductions of his subordinates.  Suddenly, a communications soldier wearing a navy uniform strode up to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "Report to the main office, Jiaolong has called, and an enemy navy patrol and warning ship has been spotted seventy nautical miles ahead." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan heard this.  Standing up in vain??, a group of senior military officers also stopped discussing the deduction.  Zhang Xinghan looked at the map, took a puff of cigarette, raised his head and said to the crowd: "Everyone, the war is imminent. The exercise is over. Everyone will return to their posts immediately and go all out to defeat the Japanese aggressors and promote our country's prestige. At this time, I also wish to express my gratitude to all of you colleagues."  Cooperate sincerely and fight to the end for the country and the nation! ""If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" The subordinates are determined to sacrifice their lives to serve the country and will never retreat and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders!" A group of people led by Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe!  The officers expressed their stance in unison.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 416: Three Lights Policy

    Early the next morning, the sun rose. Covered by a thin layer of thick fog, the red ball-like sun almost reflected the eastern sky red.  The thin sunlight shines on Xingqiao Castle, giving people a warm feeling.  But at this time, the people standing in Yukashi Castle bathing in the morning light are no longer the Japanese who have lived here for generations, and all the large and small sun flags hanging on the top of the city and in the city have disappeared.  Instead, the blue sky and white sun flags standing on the top of the city were fluttering in the wind.  Last night, Xing Zhanqing led his tank troops to appear unexpectedly outside Xingqiao City with lightning speed.  At that time, there were only some local gendarmerie police stationed in the city, and there were no regular troops.  The nearest Japanese military camp to this city is also at the foot of a mountain forest fifty miles away.  These Japanese police and military police are very mixed, including retired soldiers and local recruits. Although most of them have been in the industry for a long time, most of them have never been on the battlefield.  Even some retired military personnel have had their energy eroded by the years of peace.  Such a small force, numbering only a few hundred, was suddenly attacked by a huge army composed of hundreds of tanks and chariots. The result can be imagined.  The Japanese military police, who were completely in panic, could not hold on for even an hour before they were broken into by the armored soldiers of the Northeast Border Guard.  Before entering the city, Xing Zhanqing ordered people to surround the four gates early in the morning, so more than 500 Japanese military police police were surrounded and annihilated in the city.  Some people were lucky enough to escape to the homes of their relatives in the city, and survived temporarily.  However, the escape of these Japanese soldiers soon brought consequences.  By daybreak, the Northeastern Border Guards had completely controlled the entire Xingqiao City, and had just defeated the Japanese reinforcements that had arrived after hearing the news from fifty miles away.  An officer reported to Xing Zhan Qinghui: "Sir, the Japanese resistance in the city has basically been eliminated. However, according to reports from brothers below, many Japanese have taken refuge in some residential buildings in the city. What do you think we should do?" Xing Zhan Qingwen  Yan frowned slightly.  After pondering for a moment, he said: "Search, search door to door. If any suspicious persons are found, they will be arrested immediately, and then taken to the wilderness outside the city to bury them alive!" "Yes!" The officer suddenly stood up and agreed, then turned around and left quickly.  About two hours later, the officer came back with sweating profusely. He panted and said to Xing Zhanqing: "Sir, there are quite a few Japanese soldiers who have sneaked into civilian houses. Brothers have arrested several  Thousands of people.”  After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Xing Zhanqing said in a low voice: "The Japanese army's defeat will cause endless troubles. We must eradicate them all, so" Xing Zhanqing finished his words and raised his hand to make a clicking gesture.  The officer immediately saluted and took the order and left.  "Wait a minute!" Xing Zhanqing suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said: "While arresting people, don't forget our mission. Order the Second Battalion to destroy all Japanese factories and transportation facilities in and outside the city as soon as possible." "Then  I'm afraid the city will have to be burned down, because I just checked and found that many Japanese companies and factories in Xingqiao are built in the city," the officer said.  "Then burn the city and do it without stopping. Pull all the Japanese in the city out of the city, and then hum!" Xing Zhanqing said with murderous intent in his eyes.  At noon that day, more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians in Xingqiao City were escorted out of the city in batches, and were buried alive by the Northeastern Border Guards.  All were killed by strafing and other methods.  After the bloodbath in the city, Xing Zhanqing ordered his subordinates to place explosives in the city and set it on fire.  After bursts of violent explosions.  The entire city was enveloped in blazing fire and billowing smoke.  After turning Xingqiao into ruins, Xing Zhanqing and others continued to advance southward along the east coastline of Kyushu Island, continuing their sabotage mission.  At the same time, heading towards Kurume.  The Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Nagasaki and Kumamoto, totaling one division and two regiments, totaling about 30,000 people, finally arrived in Kurume by train and met up with Nakamura Tanichi's 18th Division.  18th Division Headquarters.  Nakamura Yaichi and the current division commander of the Sixth Division, Igo Masaichi, and others saluted each other one after another.  He said politely: "Igo-kun, Kobayashi-kun, you have finally arrived. It's great." "Nakamura-kun, the situation in Kitakyushu Island is critical. Let's not waste time and lead our headquarters to set off as soon as possible." Igo was just in time.  On the way here, I had learned about the situation in Kitakyushu Island through a telegram, and made an immediate decision.  "What Mr. Yiwu said makes sense, but the base camp just startedAn emergency telegram was sent, informing us that the reinforcements from Honshu Island have begun to gather and are rushing to the Kanmon Strait.  Should we advance to the Tagawa area first, wait for reinforcements from Honshu Island to arrive, and then agree to launch an attack at the same time? The possibility of a successful flanking attack from both sides is much greater!  "Nakamuraya said: "After all, the Chinese are quite powerful in combat. It would be difficult to defeat them with just the strength of our two divisions.  " Yiwu Zhenghe nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, what General Nakamura said is absolutely true. We have already had a profound experience of the fighting power of the Chinese in Manchuria and North Korea, so let's do what you said.  " Just as Igo finished speaking, Nakamuraya was about to order the troops to set off. A burst of rapid footsteps came from outside: "Report~!  " A Japanese lieutenant ran in with a hurried look and said before saluting: "Your Excellency, General, report urgently on the bridge!  " "Xingqiao?"  "Nakamura Yaichi, Igo Masato, Momaga Yungo and others all looked shocked. Nakamura Yaichi even waved his hands and said: "Tell me quickly, what happened to Yukihashi?  Come on!  " A trace of sadness passed through the eyes of the Japanese lieutenant and he said: "A Chinese tank and chariot unit attacked Xingqiao last night. The military police in the city resisted desperately, but in the end they were outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out. An infantry brigade stationed at Xingqiao also  Defeated by the Chinese.  After the city was broken, the Chinese captured all the Yamato people in the city and killed them all outside the city on the pretext of capturing defeated soldiers!  No one among the 20,000 people and his subjects was spared, they were all killed!  "At the end of the sentence, the Japanese lieutenant was already choked up. "Damn it, damn Chinese people, bastards, they are simply crazy!  "The faces of Nakamuraya and others were pale, and they gnashed their teeth and cursed angrily. "And~" the Japanese lieutenant said again: "After the Chinese massacred the entire city, they set fire to the city.  The bridge is now in ruins.  " "Baga Ya Road!  How disgusting!  "Nakamuraya gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. "Where are these Chinese enemy troops going now?  "Chief of Staff Hyakuga Yungo asked calmly. "We went south along the east coast.  "The Japanese lieutenant replied. "Hakuga Yungo took the lead and turned around and walked to the map. He looked at the map and immediately jumped up and shouted: "No, the Chinese people's next target is probably Zhongjin!"  " "Nani?  "Nakamura Yaichi and Igo walked over quickly. "Hakuga Yungo pointed to the map and said: "Your Excellency, the two division commanders, please see, this is Yukashi Bridge. From Yukyo Bridge, go south along the east coast. It is not a hundred kilometers away.  Zhongjin is bound to become the next target of attack by this group of Chinese enemy forces.  " "What are the Chinese doing?  "Igo asked in a cold tone. "Hakuga Yungo took a breath of air and said: "The purpose of this group of Chinese enemy forces is very clear, which is to carry out the inhumane and destructive three-light policy on our hinterland of Kyushu Island and coastal cities, thereby delaying  Prevent the gathering of our Kyushu Island defenders.  This will provide great support to their troops blocking the Kanmon Strait.  " "Huh, despicable Chinese people.  Don't even think about it. I will mobilize my troops to Zhongjin and kill them at all costs!  "Igo Masaichi said angrily. "General, please don't be impulsive. At present, tens of thousands of Chinese elites have captured Kitakyushu Island and blocked the Kanmon Strait, cutting off our communication with Honshu Island. Their sinister intentions have been clearly revealed, which is to  Cut off our communication with Honshu Island, and then concentrate our overwhelmingly superior forces.  Capture Kyushu Island in one fell swoop!  "Hakuga Yungo said: "It's like this, it must be like this. I just said that they sent such a tank and armored force to carry out a destructive attack along the east coast.  Just to hold the Kanmon Strait and wait for the arrival of the subsequent main landing force!  So the two generals must remember not to act impulsively, we should put the overall situation first!  " "But Mr. Baihe, are we just going to sit back and watch this group of Chinese enemy troops continue to wreak havoc?"  In this way, how many innocent people of the empire will die tragically under their butcher knives?  !  "Yiwu Zhenghe asked angrily. "Hakuhe-kun.  Commander Igo is right. Now that we and the main forces of the 6th Division have gathered in the Fukuoka area, the east coast defense force is empty.  If this enemy army is allowed to burn and loot arbitrarily, the consequences will be disastrous!  "Nakamura Yaichi, the commander of the 18th Division, nodded in agreement and said to Yungo Momoka. "General, your Excellency, what you said is not unreasonable, but compared with the security gains and losses of the entire Kyushu Island, and even the entire Empire of Japan,  The coastal cities on the east coast are insignificant.  However, in order to prevent the tragedy of Yuhashi from happening again, I suggested to the general to quickly send a message to Nakatsu, Beppu and other defenders on the Kunisaki Peninsula, and immediately adopt the policy of clearing out the country and holding on to the city. At the same time, more anti-tank defenses were set up outside the city.??, digging trenches to resist the attack of Chinese tanks and chariots.  "Hakuga Yungo insisted on his own opinion and analyzed. "Hakuga-kun, do you mean that the entire Kyushu Island will be captured by the Chinese?  Isn't this a bit too alarmist?  You know, this is on our soil. Even if China's northeastern border guards are well-equipped and powerful, our Imperial Japanese Army can mobilize millions of troops at any time, and even fight bloody battles across the country. I don't believe it. How many times?  Will a million-strong army lose Kyushu Island?  "Yiwu Zhenghe snorted coldly. "Your Excellency General, I am just talking about the matter. Now it is an indisputable fact that the navy is defeated by the Chinese. Without the blockade of the navy and air force, the Chinese navy, land and air force will continue to land on the ground.  island.  Let me ask, if the Kanmon Strait is blocked by the Chinese, the communication between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island is cut off, and the millions of reinforcements on Honshu Island can only face each other across the sea, can our existing troops on Kyushu Island be able to withstand it?  What about the Chinese attack with hundreds of thousands of elite navy and air force?  "Hakuga Yungo asked back. "Even if the Shinas can occupy the Kanmon Strait, Honshu Island can also transport reinforcements to Kyushu Island from the Seto Inland Sea.  "Iwu Zhenghe said unconvinced. "Then what if the Chinese use submarine forces to block the Seto Kailuo?  Is it still possible for naval ships to transport reinforcements to Kyushu Island?  "Hakuga Yungo asked back to the point. "This" Yiwu Zhenghe was speechless, frowning and fell into deep thought. Nakamura Yaichi was also silent for a while, and finally said to Igo Zhenghe  : "General Igo, Baiga-kun's analysis is reasonable. We should focus on the overall situation, concentrate our forces and prepare to cooperate with the Honshu Island reinforcements. Before the subsequent Chinese landing echelon troops arrive, we must first recapture Kitakyushu Island and eliminate the first batch of the enemy.  The only thing is to land troops and reopen the Kanmon Strait.  As for the enemy army raging on the east coast, just follow Baihe-kun's suggestion and remind the defenders everywhere to take strict precautions.  " Igo Masaichi nodded helplessly and said: "Just do as Nakamura-kun said, but in order to avoid greater losses, we should jointly send electricity to the base camp and ask them to send troops to attack as soon as possible!  " ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "  We'll be back in the harbor in half an hour.  Zhang Xinghan, who was frowning at the map and thinking deeply, turned around and said, "Has the second batch of troops been prepared?"  " "Everything is ready. As soon as the fleet arrives, we can set off immediately.  " Jiang Baili replied. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to the port terminal now, and I will personally lead the landing of the second echelon!  Jiang Baili's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly advised: "Chief Commander, you are the Commander-in-Chief, are you putting yourself at risk?"  If something goes wrong, this expedition to Japan will be in danger of total failure!  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said: "Baili, I understand your worries, but this expedition to Japan is of great importance, and I really don't feel reassured."

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 422: Battle of Kanmon Strait

    At the same time as the decisive battle between the Northeast Navy and the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, it was more than two hours ago.  In the Kanmon Strait, a fierce battle was also in progress. The first wave of vanguard landing troops led by Wang Tiehan engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the Japanese reinforcements from Honshu Island who arrived one after another.  In addition to a large number of land forces, the Japanese also mobilized four 3,000-ton destroyers and eight 2,000-ton gunboats to assist the army in the extremely tense situation.  In a large-scale naval battle, in front of a super-large battlecruiser like the Huo Qubing, destroyers and gunboats of two to three thousand tons may be too weak to be worth mentioning.  But in the current Kanmon Strait, the dozens of naval guns with a caliber exceeding 15mm equipped on the eleven Japanese warships are a big trouble for the Northeastern Border Guards on the south bank of the Kanmon Strait.  In addition, the Japanese Army on the north bank also mobilized an astonishing heavy artillery brigade. For a time, the forward position of the defenders on the south bank fell into a flaming purgatory.  The roaring sound of the cannon shook the heaven and the earth, and the dazzling flames shot up into the sky.  On the garrison position, the soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army in the trenches were hiding in the bunker with their steel guns in their arms, but from time to time some people were hit by the raging shock waves and shrapnel, and blood spattered on the spot.  Some people died heroically and for their country on the spot, while others fell to the ground with serious injuries, screaming in heart-rending pain.  In the front enemy headquarters of the 107th Division, Wang Tiehan and his subordinates were looking at the battlefield ahead with binoculars, and they saw fire and thick smoke filling their eyes.  Wang Tiehan and everyone's expressions were quite solemn. Everyone knew what kind of artillery fire the soldiers on the front line were enduring.  After a while, a middle-level officer walked in. After whispering in Wang Tiehan's ear, Wang Tiehan put down his telescope, turned around and said to everyone: "My colleagues, our rocket launcher regiments are ready.  It’s over, just waiting for the Japanese landing troops to cross the sea. I hope your regiments can withstand the pressure. Persistence is victory. This time we will give the little devils an unforgettable experience!” For this landing operation, Zhang Xinghan equipped each division.  Katyusha rocket launchers. Except for one battalion of the original howitzer regiments directly under the jurisdiction of each division, which is still equipped with 105 howitzers, the remaining two battalions have all been equipped with Katyusha rocket launchers, which greatly improved the firepower density and maneuverability of the artillery regiments of each division.  In order to deal a major blow to the Japanese by surprise, Wang Tiehan and the commanders of each division and regiment made a plan to temporarily conceal the artillery.  Just wait for the Japs to start landing, and then use the Katyusha rocket launcher group to suddenly open fire and catch the Japs by surprise.  “Yes!” Several division commanders stepped forward and responded loudly.  Shimonoseki, Japanese reinforcements headquarters on Honshu Island.  Itagaki Seishiro took command as the commander-in-chief in times of crisis and was responsible for commanding the cross-sea reinforcement battle in the Kanmon Strait.  Because the matter was so important, Itagaki Seishiro's friend and Deputy Chief of Staff Headquarters Kanji Ishihara also came to Shimonoseki with him.  In order to assist Itagaki Seishiro to win this battle.  Inside the headquarters, combat staff officers and military chiefs of various units gathered. The headquarters, which was not expanded, was crowded and somewhat crowded.  A Japanese staff officer reported to Itagaki Seishiro and others: "General, as of now, the reinforcements arriving at Shimonoseki include twenty-three infantry regiments, two heavy artillery brigades, three cavalry regiments, and five field artillery regiments.  The total number of troops, four air defense regiments, and two tank regiments, excluding some naval personnel and ships, is about 100,000." "One hundred thousand people?" Itagaki Seishiro raised his eyebrows, obviously a little concerned about the reinforcements gathering on Honshu Island.  Not very satisfied, he asked: "How many actual troops are there on the opposite side of the Chinese people?" "General. According to the intelligence provided by Kyushu Island, the first batch of Chinese troops to land should be about 80,000, equipped with a large number of tanks and armor.  Troops. But the Kurume Corps (18th Division) called not long ago and said that the tanks and armored troops of the China Army are currently attacking the Kunisaki Peninsula and are not on the south coast! " "Oh?" Itagaki Seishiro was a little surprised and turned to Ishihara.  Said: "Ishihara-kun, in another fifteen minutes. The bombardment should be over. Do you have anything to add?" Ishihara smiled and said unhurriedly: "Itagaki-kun, since the base camp has appointed you as the leader this time,  As the commander-in-chief of the battle, you have the final say. However, as a friend, and for the sake of the safety of hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers and even the millions of Yamato people on Kyushu Island, I suggest that before the large-scale cross-sea attack begins,  A tentative attack should be launched first to test the strength of the Chinese on the other side, and the most important point of this cross-sea battle is the support of the Kurume Army and the Kumamoto Army. They must attack Kitakyushu Island at all costs and threaten the southern shore of the Kanmon Strait.  to the rear of the Chinese garrison to support the main force on Honshu Island! ” &nbsp;"What Ishihara-kun said is true. I have ordered the 6th Division, the 18th Division and their remaining troops to move northward from Fukuoka. I expect that they should have arrived at Kitakyushu Island by now. As for the exploratory attack, Ishihara-kun, you  What kind of scale of attack do you think should be deployed? Or send a squadron according to conventional operations?" Itagaki Seishiro said.  "This sea-crossing operation is different from previous land battles. It stands to reason that at least one or two full infantry brigades must be invested to achieve the purpose of forcing the China Army's defense line to open fire across the board. But considering the current capacity of the imperial army (the navy has all gone to participate in the battle)  The decisive battle is over) It is best to form a strengthened infantry squadron and then use the heavy firepower of the army's heavy artillery unit and the naval gun group to cover it," Ishihara smiled.  "Youxi, just do as Ishihara-kun said, and the combat staff will execute the order immediately!" Itagaki Seishiro said happily.  "Hai." A Japanese staff officer standing nearby suddenly lowered his head and responded, then quickly took the order and left.  Fifteen minutes later, the fire from the Japanese naval gun group and the army's heavy artillery group began to spread, and small landing craft raised by the Japanese began to gather from a distance.  About 400 heavily armed Japanese elites quickly boarded the landing craft and then quickly headed towards the south bank.  Japanese destroyers and gunboats in the distant waters on the east and west sides of the strait (outside the strike range of the Northeast Frontier Force's howitzer group) also began to move forward in order to provide more accurate firepower reinforcements to these army landing troops.  On the garrison position on the south bank, except for some burning ruins of bunkers, the entire position was completely silent.  More than 400 elite Japanese soldiers boarded the landing craft and crossed the Kanmon Strait to the south shore in a short time. They jumped off at a shoal and quickly boarded the shore.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several unlucky Japanese soldiers stepped on the landmines laid overnight by the soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army, and were immediately blown to pieces.  However, the commander of this elite Japanese army turned a blind eye. With a silent wave of the command knife in his hand, more than 400 elite Japanese soldiers swarmed forward.  From time to time, a Japanese soldier stepped on a landmine and was blown up high, but the other Japanese soldiers were not affected at all and continued to rush forward quickly with their rifles bent.  Their mission is to launch a probing attack. To put it mildly, they are here to die, but they must maximize the benefits of their death. It is also one of their tasks to clear the minefield obstacles for the subsequent main army.  After suffering dozens of casualties, the remaining more than 300 Japanese soldiers finally passed through this hastily set up and not dense minefield.  Seeing the frontier trenches of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force approaching, more than 300 Japanese soldiers, including the Japanese commander, all looked excited and could not help but quicken their pace.  Because the Japanese knew that the Chinese army on the opposite side was very powerful, they would not be able to take advantage of them by shooting at them from a distance. However, if it was a close-up hand-to-hand combat, that was what the imperial army was best at.  As long as you can break into the enemy's first trench, even if their entire army is annihilated, it will be worthwhile. Maybe you can achieve unexpected results. For example, the Chinese army in the first trench has been bombarded by its own naval guns and heavy artillery.  If all the casualties are destroyed by the bombing, then our side can occupy the trenches and wait for the follow-up main force to arrive, then repel the Chinese and win the battle.  Thinking of this Japanese commander, he wanted to rush over immediately. He waved the command sword in his hand and shouted sternly: "Warriors of the Japanese Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor. Charge!" "Long live the Emperor, long live the Japanese Empire!"  More than 300 elite Japanese soldiers were infected and roared in unison, rushing towards the trenches on the slopes of the Northeastern Border Guards position, which was less than 50 meters away.  At this moment, a sudden change occurred. On the originally dead slope, a sharp shout suddenly came out: "Brothers, harvest the crops!"  Suddenly, dense rows of "steel helmets" stood up, with Garand semi-automatic rifles, MP38 submachine guns and mg34 general-purpose machine guns in their hands, all aimed at the elite Japs dozens of meters away.  The next moment, endless rain of hot bullets roared towards them. The elite Japs who were charging at full speed were caught off guard and fell down one after another. The speed was like cutting wheat, and they fell into pieces.  “Thud, tut, tut… da da da…” Various gunshots intertwined and sounded a song of death, just like the call of the god of death.  "Whoosh whoosh" Nearly a hundred bombardiers threw out the smoking grenades with all their strength.  wisps of blue smoke drew beautiful arcs in the air, and fell ruthlessly into the Japanese attacking crowd, blooming into bright and life-threatening flames.  In less than twenty minutes, more than 300 elite Japanese soldiers, including the commander who was sitting on the dream of special meritorious deeds, allThe bullets, as dense as locusts and like raindrops, turned into sieves of blood.  This scene fell into the eyes of Seishiro Itagaki, Kanji Ishihara and others on the other side.  "Damn it!" Itagaki Seishiro was so angry that he punched the wooden pile with his fist.  Ishihara Wanji was surprised in his heart, China's military firepower is so powerful, and it is also very cunning. This cross-sea battle is really a headache.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 423: The Chinese’s advanced artillery?

    With anger and humiliation, Itagaki Seishiro, Ishihara Kanji and others returned to the headquarters.  Itagaki Seishiro's eyes were red at this time, and he was furious. The Chinese people were so cunning, and an entire reinforced infantry squadron with hundreds of battle-hardened elites of the imperial army was suddenly defeated in less than half an hour.  There was a change, and the opponent's losses were very few. This result was obviously not what Itagaki Seishiro had imagined or expected.  It was as if a habitual rapist was KOed by a young girl who looked cute, weak, charming and lovable.  It’s so fucking unacceptable!  "Can't accept it, just can't accept it. Like Ishihara Wanji, Itagaki Seishiro also knew that they had encountered a hard problem this time.  "Ishihara-kun, tell me, what should we do next? These damn China pigs are much more powerful than they were two years ago." Itagaki Seishiro said with great indignation as he recalled the battle in Manchuria.  "Don't be too angry, Mr. Itagaki. The Northeastern Army headed by Zhang Xinghan two years ago cannot be regarded as a real regular army. They are a miscellaneous force composed of various Northeastern regular armies and militia forces. Even with advanced weapons and equipment,  The improvement in combat power is also limited, and the gap with the imperial army's combat power is not obvious. But in the past two years, this motley army has experienced the Battle of Manchuria, the Battle of Korea, and the Battle of Guannei, large and small battles.  Hundreds of them. After so many battles and the fact that Zhang Xinghan is at the Daxing Military Academy in Northeast China, he has continuously provided professional soldiers trained by the military academy as the backbone of his combat troops. Now they have become a real force.  A regular army in the sense of the word, and an elite division that has experienced hundreds of battles! On the other hand, in the battle between Manchuria and Korea, hundreds of thousands of active troops with combat experience were lost. Now, new divisions and regiments of officers and soldiers have been added.  They are all newcomers who have never been on the battlefield. It is not surprising that such a situation occurs." Ishihara Wanji first comforted, and then said: "We suffered losses in the exploratory attack just now.  Although it was tragic, it also proved that the Chinese defenders on the other side were still very powerful. If they were just a lone army and time allowed, we could still arrange it calmly and even bypass the Open Gate Strait and land on Kyushu Island from Kunisaki Peninsula and other places.  But now their second batch of landing troops must be on the way. The combined navy fleet is going to intercept, and the outcome is still uncertain, so we have to prepare for the worst and try our best to break through before the naval decisive battle determines the outcome.  Kanmon Strait, rendezvous with Kurume and other legions." Itagaki Seishiro nodded in disbelief.  He said: "Ishihara-kun, do you mean a frontal attack?" A trace of helplessness flashed in Ishihara's eyes and he nodded heavily: "The price of this battle may be very painful, but for the millions of Yamato people and the glory of the empire  , We must do it for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor.” After hearing what Ishihara Wanji said, Itagaki Seishiro no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the officers present: “Each division immediately prepared to launch a massive attack.  The divisions launch attacks at the same time and cooperate with us! Everyone, this battle is related to the honor and disgrace of the Japanese Empire and the entire Yamato nation. I hope you will put the overall situation first and go all out! " "Hai!"  All the Japanese officers stood up and responded.  After a while, groups of Japanese infantry began to board the ship in order to successfully carry out this large-scale attack.  Itagaki Seishiro even mobilized eleven naval destroyers and gunboats that had been cooperating with them in operations from a distance.  Using destroyers and gunboats as transport landing craft can accommodate more people, and can more conveniently provide powerful naval gun fire support to the attacking forces.  On the south bank, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "Commander, the Japanese have begun a large-scale attack." An officer said to Wang Tiehan while holding up a telescope.  Wang Tiehan, who was smoking, casually crushed the remaining cigarette butts under his feet and said in a solemn voice: "Order all rocket launcher regiments to fire immediately and target the Japanese transport ships. Especially those destroyers, which gave me a fierce bombardment."  , and also called on the air force to immediately bomb the Japanese heavy artillery positions on the north bank!" Communications personnel had already conveyed Wang Tiehan's order.  After receiving the order, the three Katyusha rocket artillery regiments (actually six rocket artillery battalions and three howitzer battalions) deployed secretly in the hidden area behind the Northeast Border Guard position opened fire.  "俅俅俅俅" Hundreds of Katyusha rocket launchers were fired at once.  The dense rockets streaked across the sky like meteors.  It drew beautiful arcs in the air and crashed down with a harsh whistling sound.  ?Previous introductionIt has been introduced that the Katyusha rocket launcher is a multi-level vehicle-mounted self-propelled rocket launcher with an astonishing caliber of 132mm and can fire up to 16 shells at a time.  The six Katyusha artillery battalions are equipped with hundreds of Katyusha vehicles. It is not difficult to imagine how spectacular the scene is when thousands of artillery shells are fired at almost the same time.  Looking from the north shore, I saw the dazzling fireballs in the sky as dense as locusts, roaring and falling into our own attacking fleet.  "Boomboom!" A violent explosion sounded, and huge dazzling fireballs rose into the sky, accompanied by billowing smoke.  Under the intensive firepower coverage, one Japanese landing craft after another was torn into pieces and turned into a bloody mess.  The three destroyers with the largest targets were also hit by dozens of 132mm rockets.  The two ships exploded on the spot, and all kinds of shattered steel plates and armor flew wildly along with the shock wave. Countless Japanese soldiers were bloody and died on the spot.  Witnessing all this, Itagaki Seishiro, who was observing the progress of the attack on the other side, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.  It wasn't until the first wave of Katyusha rocket launchers from the Northeast Frontier Guards fell that they said coldly: "Bagaya Road, cunning Chinese people, what kind of artillery is this, so powerful?  It was like thousands of artillery firing in a short period of time?" Ishihara Wanji looked blankly at the sea of ??fire and explosions, and murmured: "This can't be a conventional artillery, judging from its performance.  Judging from the power, the caliber of these artillery is most likely 150mm heavy artillery, and the Chinese landing troops only have tens of thousands of people, so it is impossible for them to be equipped with thousands of such artillery. " "Could it be said that the Chinese are not conventional artillery?  With new artillery?" Itagaki Seishiro couldn't believe it.  Ishihara smiled and nodded bitterly, without saying much.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 424: We Win

    When Seishiro Itagaki saw the always high-spirited Ishihara smiling like this, his heart suddenly burned with anger, and he was about to order his own heavy artillery group to immediately retaliate and suppress the attack with artillery fire.  Suddenly, a discolored and piercing roar came from the distant air.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, good friends, looked up at the same time, their faces changed drastically. Ishihara Kanji even said urgently: "No, it's the air force of the China Army!"  A large number of fighter planes appeared in the sky.  Zhang Xinghua piloted a Zero fighter plane and led the flying formation to swoop down like locusts, and began a fierce dive and strafing attack on the Japanese positions.  Behind him are dozens of Zero fighter jets, and behind the Zero fighter group are hundreds of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.  It turns out that Zhang Xinghua and his comrades had just participated in a decisive battle in the sea and air at sea. The Japanese Navy was almost completely wiped out, and the Air Force almost lost more than 500 fighter planes.  As they were about to return, they happened to receive a telegram from Wang Tiehan asking for help. Without any hesitation, Zhang Xinghan ordered them to immediately divert to the Kanmon Strait to provide air fire support for the vanguard troops.  At this time, the benefits of the ultra-long range of the Zero fighter jets and the B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were fully realized. Although the Tsushima Strait was only a mere two hundred kilometers away, they were already fighting with the Japanese Navy and Air Force at sea.  Nearly two hours.  If it weren’t for their strong endurance, they wouldn’t have been able to come to the Kanmon Strait to help in the battle without flying back to the base to replenish fuel.  Dozens of Zero fighter jets swooped and strafed like passing locusts, and countless Japanese soldiers on the Japanese position screamed and fell down.  Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji who were at the forward observation post were also held down by the guards on the side.  The dive of the Zero fighter jets was just a foreplay. The real thing was the hundreds of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers that followed them.  In the just-concluded naval and air decisive battle, the large number of aerial bombs they carried were almost useless, but now they have finally found a place to use them.  Thousands of tons of aerial bombs hit the Japanese positions with sharp and ear-piercing whistling sounds, causing violent explosions. Wherever the shock wave of the explosion hit, thick smoke was everywhere, and various Japanese bunkers and fortifications were scattered.  Destroyed instantly.  All kinds of broken limbs and fragments were flying wildly.  The Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties and blood flowed into rivers.  The Japanese heavy artillery position not far away was also carpet-bombed by dozens of Flying Fortresses. Without exception, all the artillery positions were bombed into a sea of ????flame ruins.  The huge heavy artillery was blown into piles of scrap metal, and thousands of Japanese artillerymen and logistics soldiers were torn to pieces by the raging shock wave before they could even scream.  In the forward observation post, Itagaki Seishiro Ishihara Wanji, who was lying on the ground, felt the violent vibrations coming from the ground beneath him. He was shocked and looked at each other.  Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but exclaimed: "How come the Chinese air force still has enough power to attack us? Could it be that our navy and air force have been defeated?" Hearing this, Itagaki Seishiro suddenly got up and raised his arms like a wounded bull.  Eyes Tonghong said: "No, it is absolutely impossible. Our Imperial Japanese Navy's combined fleet is the number one fleet in Asia and its combat power is invincible. How could it be defeated by the weak China people in the naval battle that we are best at? This is impossible!  ” Ishihara smiled and was speechless.  He didn't want to believe this was true, but if his own navy and aviation forces had not been defeated, how could the Chinese have mobilized such a large air force to participate in the Battle of the Kanmon Strait?  "General, be careful!" A guard suddenly jumped up and threw Itagaki Seishiro, who was standing up, to the ground.  "Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly sounded around them. The violent shock wave instantly lifted the bunker above the entire observation post, and the raging shrapnel hit everyone inside.  Among them were Ishihara Wanji and several guards. The Japanese soldier who risked his life to save Itagaki Seishiro's back was blown to pieces, and he vomited blood and died on the spot.  Itagaki Seishiro turned a blind eye to all this.  Still unable to recover from the shock just now, as a senior officer, he knew what it would mean to the entire Japanese Empire if the navy was defeated.  In the end, it was Ishihara Wanji’s painful scream that brought him back to reality.  "Baga, it hurts me to death" Ishihara Wan'er lay on the ground and touched his butt with one hand, but he felt blood on his hand.  "Ishihara-kun, what's wrong with you?" Itagaki Seishiro was shocked and crawled over with concern on his face.  The guard behind him who had sacrificed his life to save him rolled to the side.  Arriving at the front, Itagaki Seishiro found that his good friend’s butt was a bloody mess and the blood was already there.It soaked through his pants and dyed them a striking dark red.  "Medical soldier! Medical soldier!" Seishiro Itagaki turned his head crazily and shouted.  However, at this time, bombing and strafing were still raging in the sky, and the medical soldiers could not get through at all. No one paid attention to Itagaki Seishiro even though he screamed at his throat.  This bombing did not last long, after all, all fighters and bombers had flown nearly 2,000 kilometers.  If this continues, they will not be able to return smoothly.  Half an hour later, Zhang Xinghua and his fleet stopped the air raid and began to return home in a swaggering manner.  Before leaving, they also flew to and hovered over our own defensive positions on the south bank of the Kanmon Strait.  Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force on the south bank jumped out of the trenches to cheer and wave to show respect to our own air force.  On the other hand, the Japanese army's landing force of a strengthened wing was successively attacked by intensive firepower coverage from the Katyusha rocket launchers of the Northeastern Border Guards and bombed by some air force flying fortresses.  Hundreds of landing craft and large and small ships were almost destroyed, and less than two-tenths of the thousands of attacking troops fled back to the north shore.  The Japs on the north bank were even worse. Several artillery positions of the two heavy artillery brigades were hit by powerful aerial firepower and turned into a sea of ????fire.  The infantry defensive positions also suffered violent strafing and bombing, resulting in thousands of casualties. It can be said that Seishiro Itagaki's 100,000-strong army company has not yet seen the shadow of the Northeastern Border Guards on the other side, and its long-prepared first attack ended with  It ended in complete defeat.  On the south bank, the former enemy command post of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Before Wang Tiehan could make a phone call to encourage the officers and soldiers of each regiment, especially those of the rocket launcher battalion, a communications staff officer ran in happily.  "Commander, commander, good news, great news!" "What good news? Are you so panicked?" Wang Tiehan asked.  "The Commander-in-Chief has just called. The decisive sea and air battle over the Tsushima Strait has just ended. The officers and soldiers of our Northeast Frontier Defense Force fought bravely against the enemy and won a great victory. They achieved a great victory of almost annihilating the Japanese naval combined fleet and a large number of aviation units. The headquarters is still there.  The message stated that he had ordered the entire Jiaolong Task Force to dispatch to help us blockade the entire Kanmon Strait and Kunisaki Peninsula. It is no longer possible for the Japanese to enter Kyushu Island, and they can only wait for the arrival of the second echelon of landing troops.  Fukuoka, Kurume, Kumamoto, Nagasaki and other places have launched an attack and have completely captured Kyushu Island!" the communications staff officer couldn't restrain his excitement.  "What? What did you say?" Wang Tiehan couldn't react for a while.  The communications staff officer said with a happy face: "Commander, we won, we won!" "Win?" Wang Tiehan came back to his senses and said with great joy: "Great. Great, order Xing Zhanqing immediately,  Immediately lead the troops to move westward and attack Kurume, forcing the Japanese 18th and 6th Divisions that are attacking Kitakyushu Island to retreat. In addition, the 117th Division must strictly defend the direction of the Toga River and must not make any mistakes to ensure the second echelon.  The landing force successfully joined us!" "Yes!" The communications officer responded immediately with excitement, and immediately turned around and left.  ……………… Kanmon Strait, North Shore, a Japanese field hospital.  Ishihara Kanji has been sent for treatment for a long time, and the shrapnel on his butt was finally removed after the doctor's efforts. At this time, he was discussing military affairs with his good friends.  "Ishihara-kun, the Navy has just sent back news that our aviation unit and the combined naval fleet failed in the decisive battle in the Tsushima Strait. The main ships and officers and soldiers of the naval fleet suffered all casualties. The aviation unit was completely wiped out" Itagaki  Seishiro's tone was filled with uncontrollable sadness.  "Oh, I didn't expect that the China people who were weak and vulnerable in the past would become so powerful and eventually became the number one confidant of the Japanese Empire!" Ishihara Wanji sighed helplessly.  "We were completely defeated in this attack, and almost all the landing craft were sunk and destroyed. The two heavy artillery brigades were also killed and wounded, and the losses were extremely heavy." Itagaki Seishiro continued.  "Ishihara-kun, what do you think we should do next?" Ishihara Wan'er said sadly with a haggard face: "Now that the naval battle is over. Then if we want to land on Kyushu Island next, we can support the 18th Division and the 6th Division.  It is said that there is little hope." Itagaki Seishiro immediately said: "Ishihara-kun means to give up reinforcements to Kyushu Island? Doesn't that mean giving up the entire Kyushu Island's millions of Yamato people?" "This is also a helpless move.  , the naval battle is over, the Chinese navy, especially their submarine force, is bound to arrive, and may have arrived now. With their blockade of the strait, coupled with their air force and artillery superiority, we are almost thinking of landing on Kyushu Island.  Difficult to reach the skyFor the current plan, the only way is to immediately notify the 6th Division and the 18th Division to immediately stop the attack and quickly evacuate to Kurume and other places. The troops are broken into pieces and rely on the millions of Yamato people on Kyushu Island to persist in the fight.  The Chinese fought until the last soldier!  We must not allow the Chinese to easily capture Kyushu Island, let alone gain a foothold here and make it an effective base for attacking our homeland such as Honshu Island!  "Ishihara Wan'er sighed sadly. "We can't make the decision on this matter. I think we should report it to the base camp immediately and ask the base camp to make a decision.  "Itagaki Seishiro said. "It is necessary to generate electricity for the base camp, but we cannot really wait for the base camp to agree before starting the operation, otherwise everything will be too late.  "Ishihara smiled and said: "You can first inform the 18th Division and the 6th Division to prepare in advance.  " "Yo Xi, that's it.  "Itagaki Seishiro nodded helplessly. " ps: Brothers, a new week has begun. Please support me with a few recommendation votes. There will definitely be more than this update today.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 425: There is still a chance

    In a dense forest about 2.5 kilometers south of Kitakyushu Island, the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese 18th Division and 6th Division are located here.  In the headquarters, the commander of the 18th Division, Nakamura Yaichi, the commander of the 6th Division, Masaichi Igo, and others were all present. It stands to reason that these two are the commanders of the division, so there is no need to put their command at all.  Department is at the forefront.  However, this battle in the Kanmon Strait is of great importance, affecting millions of Yamato people on the entire Kyushu Island and the future fate of the Japanese Empire. In order to urge their subordinates to go all out, the two merged their respective division headquarters into one,  Located on the front line to facilitate the command of the battle.  In the headquarters, Nakamura Tanichi, Igo Masaichi and others were nervously discussing the next battle plan around the map. The Northeastern Border Defense Force left behind on Kitakyushu Island was Wang Tiehan's reorganized 6th Division, which was the first to be formed.  One of the ten elite reorganized divisions, its combat effectiveness ranks among the best among the Baiwan Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Coupled with the help of the Air Force, the attacks of the 18th Division and the 6th Division repeatedly failed. Both Nakamura Taniichi and Igo Masaichi, who had experienced battles in the field, knew that they had encountered an "iron plate" this time.  .  While he was discussing with his subordinates, a Japanese soldier suddenly broke in with a panicked expression. The staggered soldier almost fell to the ground.  Before he could salute, he cried and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I'm sorry, I just received the latest telegram from the direction of Honshu Island. The decisive battle in the air and sea over the Tsushima Strait. Our army returned with a disastrous defeat. Tens of thousands of naval and air force officers and soldiers fought."  Die! The combined fleet and aviation forces have suffered heavy losses, and the situation has deteriorated!" "What?" Nakamura Yaichi and Igo were both shocked, and the 18th Division Chief of Staff Yungo Moga came over and asked urgently: "What?  What are you talking about? How could the combined fleet be defeated? "The communication soldier was a little timid, and he hesitated: "I don't know, that's what the message said." "Hakuga Yungo took the message in his hand.  He snatched it over, took a quick look, and suddenly became furious: "Bagaya Road, this. This is impossible! This is impossible!" At this moment, another Japanese communications soldier hurried in and headed towards Zhongcun.  Taniichi and others stood at attention and saluted: "Generals, General Itagaki Seishiro is calling!" "Oh? What did Itagaki-kun say?" Itagaki Seishiro is the commander-in-chief of the Kanmon Strait battle on Kyushu Island. The 18th Division and the 6th Division  Under his control, Nakamuraya asked quickly.  "General Itagaki Seishiro called and said that the navy and aviation forces have been defeated miserably. The reinforcement attack on Honshu Island has also failed miserably. There is no need to continue the battle of Kanmon Strait. In order to prevent your troops from being heavily surrounded by the China Army. I am specifically ordering your troops to quickly evacuate Kitakyushu Island.  The battlefield, and quickly organize troops and personnel, transfer factory equipment from Nagasaki and other places, and prepare for a long-term war of resistance!" the Japanese communications soldier said quickly.  After listening to this, Nakamura Yaichi and Igo both looked horrified.  It was Major General Kobayashi, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, who reacted quickly and spoke first: "My two generals, the situation is critical. Please don't waste time here anymore. We should immediately implement General Itagaki Seishiro's order. This is undoubtedly the wisest thing at the moment.  Decision!" After Nakamura Yaichi and Igo looked at each other, they immediately ordered the two communication soldiers: "Order the 66th Regiment and the 18th Cavalry Regiment to immediately stop attacking.  Cut off!” …………… On the road from Kanmon Strait to Kitakyushu Island, about a battalion of Northeastern Border Guards were speeding along in cars and motorcycles.  Sitting in the passenger seat of one of the cars was Wang Tiehan, the commander of this battle.  The main force of the Jiaolong Task Force's submarine force has arrived, and the defense line on the south coast of the Kanmon Strait is secure. Wang Tiehan is worried about Kitakyushu Island, which is being besieged by the Japanese army, so he returns with a guard battalion.  As the team was moving, a communications soldier stopped the car.  He saluted Wang Tiehan from outside the car and said: "Commander, the deputy division commander called. All the Japanese who were attacking Kitakyushu Island suddenly withdrew. The deputy division commander asked for instructions whether to pursue them?" "Withdrawn?" An accompanying staff adjutant who acted as the driver pondered.  Analyzed: "Master, these Japs must have learned about the defeat of their navy and the failure of the reinforcement attack before they suddenly withdrew." Wang Tiehan nodded and ordered to the communications soldier outside the car: "Give this to the deputy division commander.  Power generation, the enemy situation is unknown. It is not suitable to pursue for the time being. Our task is to ensure that the second echelon of landing troops can land smoothly and join us. As for the Japanese 18th Division and the 6th Division, Xing Zhanqing's tank troops should soon reach their home base.  That’s enough for them to drink a pot!” “Yes.” The signal soldier quickly took the order and left.  ???…………………The offshore waters of Toga River.  Northeast China Sea commanded by Zhang XinghanThe main force of the army finally entered this sea area.  Standing on the deck of the battleship Huo Qubing and looking into the distance, I saw that the coast of Yuanhe River was already vaguely visible.  "Maintain, in ten minutes at most, we can land." Guo Zhong stood next to Zhang Xinghan and pointed ahead.  Zhang Xinghan held up the telescope and looked silently. Looking at the looming coast, Zhang Xinghan felt very excited.  Although he is not the first Chinese to land in Japan, for him personally, especially he is still a soul of the 21st century.  Being able to set foot on the four islands of Japan as a soldier, no, as a conqueror and winner, is of great significance.  It can be said that in one fell swoop, the sense of humiliation in the hearts of all Chinese soldiers since the late Qing Dynasty was washed away, and Zhang Xinghan was naturally one of them.  Putting down the telescope, Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "Order the troops to prepare for landing." "Yes." A messenger behind Guo Zhong quickly conveyed the order.  One by one, landing ships began to sail toward the shore. On the decks of the ships, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force had all gathered and were ready to land.  About ten minutes later, as the first landing ship docked, groups of Northeastern officers and soldiers jumped off the ship with steel guns in their hands, and waded forward in waist-high water.  As they get closer and closer to the shore, the officers and soldiers move faster and faster. Looking from the shore, they can see that the water on the shore is densely packed with Northeastern officers and soldiers with steel helmets on their heads, heading towards the shore like a colony of ants.  move.  Behind the infantry crowd, tanks and armored vehicles were also released by the landing ship and roared towards the shore.  “About two hours later, all the landing troops of the two divisions came ashore. Zhang Xinghan, Guo Zhong, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others also left the battleship Huo Qubing and officially set foot on Kyushu Island.  Standing on a high slope not far from the shore, Zhang Xinghan looked down at the troops of his own who were still landing, and said with great enthusiasm: "We may not leave our names in the annals of history, but history will remember this moment.  Remember today." Behind him, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others were also excited and excited. As a soldier, there is nothing more satisfying and more satisfying than leading the army to land on the four Japanese islands in person.  "Xinghan, now there is not much suspense about the Battle of Kyushu Island. Do we need to announce our current actions and results to the Chinese people? We can also let the 40,000 Chinese people cheer and celebrate. In any case, this is our country.  A great moment for the nation to celebrate!" Wang Yizhe said to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, in the name of me, the chief of staff, and the commander-in-chief of each group army of our Northeast Border Defense Force, I will send electricity to the National Government and the powerful local warlords. I, the Northeast Border Defense Force  We have completely annihilated the Japanese naval combined fleet and its sea-based and land-based aviation units, and will soon capture the entire Kyushu Island. This is truly a great victory for our Chinese nation in its first foreign war since the Han and Tang dynasties. Hereby, fellow colleagues of the National Government,  People from all walks of life and our 40 million compatriots of the Chinese nation are victorious!" "General, the vanguard commander-in-chief, Commander Wang, is calling." A communications soldier hurried over and stood up to salute.  "How is the situation?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Commander Wang called to report that the Battle of Kanmon Strait has ended successfully, our defense line on the south coast is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Japanese 18th and 6th Divisions that besieged Kitakyushu Island have also evacuated not long ago." The communications soldier replied.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly. It was expected that the battle of Kanmon Strait would end successfully. With the assistance of the air force and submarine force, the Japanese had millions of reinforcements. Without the navy and air force, it would be difficult to cross the strait and land on Kyushu.  Island.  After frowning and thinking for a while, Zhang Xinghan asked: "Did the Japanese 18th Division and 6th Division evacuate on their own initiative?" The communications soldier nodded, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Did Wang Tiehan pursue him?"  The communications soldier shook his head and said: "No, Commander Wang did not send troops to pursue him just in case." "It's a pity. The 18th Division and the 6th Division are the only regular resistance forces of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island. If they can be  If they are surrounded and annihilated near North Kyushu Island, then the resistance they will encounter in the next attack on the entire Kyushu Island will be much smaller." Zhang Xinghan sighed in disappointment. It seems that Wang Tiehan is more cautious than courageous.  Wang Yizhe advised in a harmonious voice: "Don't be too disappointed, the chief. Although Tiehan's move is a bit too cautious, it is also the safest way for the overall strategic situation. If the pursuit hits the Japanese ambush, the gain will outweigh the loss, because Kyushu  We already have a sure chance of winning the battle on the island. There is no need to take any more risks. After all, the mission we gave him was to persevere.Hold Kitakyushu Island and Kanmon Strait, waiting for the arrival of subsequent landing troops.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement, and suddenly said, "By the way, where is Xing Zhanqing's tank unit now?  " "Oh, Commander Wang reported in the message that Xing Zhanqing had led his tank troops to attack the rear of Kurume and other Japanese troops.  "The communication soldier added. "Kurume?  Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up and he said to Guo Zhong: "It seems there is still a chance, Zhongzi, bring the battle map, quickly!"  ” ps: This is the second update. I’d like to ask for more recommendation votes. Also, thank you for your support through tips and evaluation votes! Thank you! (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th War of Resistance Chapter 426: The Protracted War of Resistance

    "This is Kurume, and this is Kitakyushu Island. With the retreat speed of the Japanese 18th Division and the 6th Division, if Xing Zhanqing's tank troops are ordered to go north immediately at this time. Then the two sides will most likely encounter each other in the Tagawa area." Guo  After Zhong opened the map, Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan took turns pointing at the map.  Zhang Xinghan frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "Immediately send electricity to Xing Zhanqing and order him to immediately turn around and advance north at full speed. No matter what, we must get to Tianchuan before the Japanese army, capture it, and completely block the enemy's 6th Army.  The 18th Division's escape route to the south. "Commander, Tagawa is the only way for the two Japanese armies to retreat. It is impossible not to be heavily defended. However, Xing Zhanqing's troops are mostly tanks and armored units. In the absence of infantry assistance, attack.  It's okay for a small town with weak defenses, but if it's used to attack Tianchuan, which is heavily defended by the Japanese, wouldn't it be too wasteful?" Zhao Zhenfan said.  It is undeniable that what Zhao Zhenfan said is not unreasonable. The armored force, like the air force, is currently more "valuable" than the ordinary infantry force. After all, training an ordinary infantryman and training a tank and armored force cost time, money and other costs.  It's totally different.  "Let's do this. Immediately send power to Wang Longxiang and order him to lead the airborne troops to immediately carry out airborne landings in the Tianchuan area. Prepare to cooperate with Xing Zhanqing's troops to seize Tianchuan to cut off the Japanese army's escape route south on Kyushu Island. At the same time, send power to Wang Tiehan, the 6th Reorganized Division  and the 17th Reorganized Division immediately attacked, launched a pursuit along the Japanese retreat route, and tried to encircle the enemy's 6th and 18th Divisions in the Tagawa area. Then, when our second-tier landing force arrived, we would encircle and annihilate them!" Zhang Xinghan thought!  I want to give instructions.  "Well, this arrangement is very good." Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe nodded in agreement.  Guo Zhongze stood up and went to deliver the order.  Zhang Xinghan was still planning to eliminate the Japanese army’s effective forces on Kyushu Island as much as possible.  On Honshu Island, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has already been blown up.  The navy and aviation units sank into the Tsushima Strait with broken swords, and tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers died on the battlefield. Such tragic and shocking news spread like wildfire in Tokyo and even major cities across Honshu Island.  Today’s Tokyo city is deserted. Hundreds of thousands of distraught Japanese civilians took to the streets to cry and mourn.  Some fanatical militarists don’t even want to believe that all this is true.  They couldn't believe that the invincible navy and air force they had always been proud of were destroyed in one battle, and they were defeated by the Chinese whom they despised the most and had always regarded as the object of conquest.  Some sober-minded Japanese know well what the failure of the naval combined fleet means to Japan.  Not to mention the distance, Kyushu Island alone might fall into the hands of the Chinese Army.  The worries and shocks of people from all walks of life in Japan are also happening to Emperor Hirohito and the senior officials of the base camp.  In the palace, Emperor Hirohito stood up from his imperial chair after listening to the report of Minoru Saito and other cabinet ministers.  His face was ashen and he looked at Saito Minoru and others with stern eyes: "What did you say? Our combined fleet was completely wiped out?!" A group of cabinet ministers headed by Saito Minoru did not dare to look directly at Emperor Hirohito's increasingly cold look.  With eyes in his eyes, he lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Army's Combined Fleet was attacked from both sides by China's submarine force and surface fleet in the Battle of Tsushima Strait. Tens of thousands of naval officers fought bloody battles, but were ultimately defeated. Navy warriors  We will fight to the death for His Majesty the Emperor, and the entire army will be annihilated!" As soon as Saito Minoru said these words, the entire court fell into silence, and the silent Japanese cabinet ministers could almost hear their own heartbeats.  Saito Minoru raised his head slightly with fear, and looked towards the imperial chair with the corner of his eye. He caught a glimpse of Emperor Hirohito's face as frosty, his eyes showed a frightening chill, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.  Very scary.  He quickly lowered his head again.  After a long time, Emperor Hirohito did not see an angry outburst. He only heard Emperor Hirohito say in a sad and old tone: "My dear lords, tell me, is Kyushu Island about to be lost?" Seeing Emperor Hirohito's desolate tone, he said  Before getting angry, Saito Minoru and others, as ministers, were ashamed and fell to their knees one after another.  He touched his head and said: "I am unworthy of the expectation of His Majesty the Emperor. I deserve death. Please punish me!" Emperor Hirohito seemed to have been drained of his physical strength and sat down on his dragon throne with a bare face.  .  Saito Minoru and others were shocked when they saw this, and they all exclaimed: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?" Emperor Hirohito couldn't help but said in frustration: "I am ashamed of the late emperor and the people of Yamato! The Yamato nation!  Since the founding of the country, there has never been a precedent for foreigners to invade and occupy the country.If Yuzhou Island is lost in my hands.  Then I am the eternal sinner of the Yamato nation. How can I see the late emperor and ancestors in the face of them?  " "Your Majesty, I blame the incompetence of my ministers. Please punish me!"  Saito Minoru and others were horrified. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed and bled, feeling extremely ashamed. "That's all, this is God's will, not a crime of war. You don't have to blame yourself too much!"  "Emperor Hirohito waved his hands in despair. At this moment, a chamberlain walked in hurriedly, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Okamura Neji and Ishihara Kanji, the deputy chief of the staff headquarters who have just returned from the front, are outside the palace.  ask to see.  "    "Um?  Okamura Neji, Ishihara Wanji?  "Emperor Hirohito was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Saito Minoru and others who were also confused, waved his hand to the chamberlain and said, "Let them come in.  " The chamberlain bowed respectfully, turned around and retreated. Not long after, he led the anxious-looking Ishihara Wanji and Okamura Neji to walk in quickly. "Ishihara Wanji (Okamura Neji) has met our emperor.  His Majesty!  "The two fell to their knees and shouted long live. The Japanese have copied our Chinese culture and writing to a large extent. Since the death of the Song Dynasty in Yashan, they have even regarded themselves as Chinese orthodox and no longer exist in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Imperial Palace  The etiquette is basically the same as that in China. “The two beloved ladies came in a hurry. Why?  After Emperor Hirohito finished speaking, he asked Ishihara Wanji: "Ishihara-kun, weren't you on the front line of the gate? Why did you return suddenly?"  " Ishihara Wanji did not dare to neglect, and he knelt on the ground and replied quickly: "Your Majesty, the defeat in the Kanmon Strait battle has caused Kyushu Island to fall into an unprecedented crisis. It is really an unfavorable mistake of my supervisor to supervise the war. I come here to apologize!  Hearing this, Okamura Neji quickly said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Battle of Kanmon Strait failed was actually because the naval combined fleet was defeated first, which allowed the main force of the China Air Force to rush to the battlefield of Kanmon Strait at the critical moment to participate in the battle.  As a result, our reinforcement attack failed.  During the battle, Ishihara-kun and Itagaki-kun ignored the danger and rushed to the front of the line to supervise the battle. Ishihara-kun was injured by a Chinese plane, and his hip has not healed to this day. This shows that this battle is definitely not the fault of Ishihara-kun's supervision. Please also ask my emperor  Your Majesty is aware!  " Emperor Hirohito looked at Ishihara Wanji and asked: "Ishihara Aiko, is what Okamura Neji said true?  "Ishihara Wanji nodded awkwardly: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. The minor injury is not serious. Compared with the honor, disgrace and safety of the Empire of Japan, this is not worth mentioning at all.  " A trace of relief flashed in Emperor Hirohito's eyes. He nodded and said with solemn hands: "Everyone, please get up. The matter has come to this, so you don't have to blame yourself too much.  " Everyone stood up one after another. Saito Minoru looked at Ishihara Wanji and Okamura Neji, and asked: "Ishihara-kun, Okamura-kun, you are so anxious to come to see His Majesty, is there something wrong?  " Okamura Neji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Prime Minister, I heard that the United Fleet was defeated, the Kanmon Strait has been completely blocked by the Chinese, and Kyushu Island is in an unprecedented crisis. I came here specially to ask for a battle from His Majesty the Emperor. I am willing to go to Kyushu Island in person to command.  The soldiers of the Imperial Army on the island fight to the death with the Chinese!  To comfort the heroic souls of hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers!  " "Now the navy has suffered serious losses. The Chinese navy and air force have completely blocked the strait. There is no way for reinforcements to land on Kyushu Island. What's the use of Okamura-kun if you go?  "Army Minister Hirano Shaoqi said angrily. "Hirano-kun is right. Kyushu Island is already a strategically dead area, so Okamura-kun doesn't have to do this futile act.  Saito Minoru nodded in agreement. Ishihara smiled and said: "My lords, Your Majesty, please listen to me. From a strategic point of view, Kyushu Island has indeed become a strategic death zone. Its fall is inevitable at present.  .  But we can’t just let the Chinese occupy it easily. First, we must remove all the light and heavy industrial bases on the island. Those that can be taken away will be moved, and those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed on the spot.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?????  There are still two large legions on the island, plus the reserve forces, with a strength of more than 100,000. In addition, there are nearly a million young men. We should arm them as much as possible to fight against the Chinese for a long time.  " "Strong walls and clear fields, a long-term war of resistance?  Saito Minoru and others were a little surprised. They looked at each other and said, "Ishihara-kun, tell me the reason for doing this."  " "The reason is very simple, that is to prevent the Chinese from building their forward base on Kyushu Island. Otherwise, Honshu Island, Shikoku Island and Hokkaido will be attacked by the Chinese at any time!  All in all, that is, it is not allowed to make Kyushu Island easily fall into the hands of the person, and for them, otherwise our big and nation will truly fall into a tens of robbery.The point of no return.  "Ishihara smiled. "Ishihara-kun, what you said makes sense. Let me ask you, do you have any ideas about the future of the emperor?  What should we do next?  "Emperor Hirohito, who had never spoken, couldn't help but asked aloud. PS: Sorry everyone, there is only this update today, because it is Christmas Eve, and I have to play with my wife and children. Tomorrow is Christmas, but I think at least I  Three chapters have to be updated. At the same time, I wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve and Christmas.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 427: Intrigue

    Ishihara Wanji met Emperor Hirohito's hopeful gaze and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Empire of Japan is now in an unprecedented crisis. Next, in addition to increasing our efforts to develop military and heavy industries, we must rebuild our navy and air force.  In addition to the troops, we must also seek international support and request Western countries to check and balance the Northeast Frontier Force headed by Zhang Xinghan to prevent them from continuing to occupy our imperial territory. In addition, it is easier to say than to implement our navy and air force.  It is extremely difficult and we may not be able to accomplish this by ourselves. We need to rely on the help of other countries! " "Ishihara-kun's approach is good, but the difficulty is that will the Western powers come forward to check and balance the Chinese people?  During the Eighth Incident, the Chiang Kai-shek government in China also sought international support. No one was willing to offend our powerful Japanese Empire for them. Now, the situation has changed. I am afraid that the great powers of Britain, the United States, France and Germany will not offend Zhang Xinghan, who was at the height of his power, for us, right?  Prime Minister Saito Minoru said worriedly.  Ishihara Wanji said with great certainty: "Prime Minister, please rest assured that Western countries will definitely come forward to check and balance the China Army led by Zhang Xinghan." "Oh? Why is Ishihara-kun so sure? I would like to hear the details!" Everyone, including Emperor Hirohito,  They all asked very curiously.  "The reason is very simple, that is, whether it is Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries, or other warlords in China, such as the Central Army of the Nanjing National Government headed by Chiang Kai-shek, the Shanxi Jinsui Army headed by Yan Xishan, the Shandong Army headed by Han Fuqu, and the  The Guangxi army led by Li Zongren is not willing to sit back and watch Zhang Xinghan continue to grow. Judging from Zhang Xinghan's current strength, he is fully capable of unifying China. The above-mentioned powerful local warlords in China's central areas are bound to fight against the dominance of Zhang Xinghan's family.  United. The same goes for the Western powers. Anyone who is slightly familiar with the history of the Chinese people knows that the Chinese people have had an era of great strength in history. They know better than anyone else how terrifying a unified China will be.  , so for their own vital interests, they absolutely do not want the Chinese people to achieve true unification and become rich and powerful," Ishihara Wanji explained.  "Ishihara-kun also forgot to mention a very important role, that is, the Russians." Okamura Neiji added: "As we all know, Zhang Xinghan has had two local conflicts with Soviet Russia for the ownership of the China Eastern Railway, and both wars were  It ended with the Soviet Union suffering a defeat, and the two sides have already formed a deadly feud. They are definitely not willing to sit back and watch Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Army continue to expand, and they will definitely join the camp to check and balance the Northeast Frontier Defense Force." After listening to Ishihara Wan.  After Er and Okamura Neji's analysis and answers, Emperor Hirohito and others showed expressions of understanding.  "The analysis of the two beloved ministers is very reasonable, but the top priority now is how to deal with the aftermath and organize the Kyushu Island War of Resistance. At the same time, we must be prepared to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to attack our Honshu Island." Emperor Hirohito said.  "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Cabinet Headquarters has issued a nationwide mobilization order. At present, no less than 500,000 army soldiers have been assembled. If the Chinese dare to land on Honshu Island, they will encounter unprecedented fierce resistance." Cabinet Prime Minister Minoru Saito immediately  Assured.  Emperor Hirohito nodded and said: "Well done. The fall of Kyushu Island has become a pity. We must not let Honshu Island become a place trampled by the iron hoof of the Chinese people. To borrow a famous saying from the Chinese people. It is better to be broken into pieces than to be destroyed." "I  Your Majesty is wise, in fact we have not lost Kyushu Island. As long as the nearly ten million Yamato people on the island are not dead, the resistance will never stop!" Okamura Neiji said with a sinister expression.  ????………………Nanjing, the meeting room of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.  Basically all the important officials of the National Government living in Nanjing have arrived.  As early as half an hour ago, Zhang Xinghan’s victory message was quietly sent back to the motherland.  Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, Yan Xishan in Shanxi, and Han Fuqu in Shandong.  Li Zongren in Guangxi and even Marshal Zhang in Qingdao received this earth-shattering message of victory.  As the leader of the National Government, Chairman Chiang immediately summoned the government’s military and political officials to gather together and inform them of the news.  When the captain of the guard, Wang Shihe, read out the message in front of everyone with excitement, the whole place fell into silence.  Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force actually declared war on Japan without declaring it?  ??Also wiped out the Japanese naval combined fleet and invaded Japan's Kyushu Island?  All the dignitaries of the National Government present looked at each other in shock.  Chairman Chiang tapped his hands on the table.  With a strong Ningbo accent, he said: "Everyone, although Zhang Xinghan has repeatedly disobeyed the central government,However, he led his troops to annihilate the combined naval fleet that the Japanese were proud of, which indeed brought glory to the country.  It brought honor to the nation.  It is no exaggeration to say that this battle is enough to wipe out the humiliation of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years!  " Chen Cheng, who was sitting in the front row to the left of Chairman Chiang, stood up and echoed: "The committee member is right. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, China has been repeatedly bullied by powerful enemies. It has endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden to this day. It is finally avenged.  " "Then I wonder how Brother Zhongzheng plans to reward Zhang Xinghan and his Northeast Frontier Defense Force?  "Wang Zhaoming, who was sitting in the second seat, suddenly asked with great interest. "Wang Zhaoming is the famous traitor Wang Jingwei in history. Jingwei is just his pen name, and Wang Zhaoming is his real name. However, the traitor Wang has not defected to the Japanese yet.  , maybe he will never have the chance to join the Japanese in this life. Therefore, not only is this guy not a big traitor, he is also the second-largest figure in the Kuomintang after Chiang Kai-shek. He serves as the Vice President of the Kuomintang and the President of the Executive Yuan because he followed Sun Yat-sen in his early years.  He has many achievements, and he was the drafter of Sun Yat-sen's will. In addition, he was humble and diplomatic, good at conciliation, and could play both sides. He won support from the left within the party and could avoid direct hostility with the right. Therefore, he had great prestige. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek, he had  This is why in history, the traitor Wang rebelled against Chairman Chiang who held actual military power several times during the Republic of China (first when Ninghan was separated, and then when the National Government in Guangzhou), but Chairman Chiang could never take pains from him.  These prestige and connections also became the capital of the traitor Wang to defect to the Japanese in the future, which dealt a huge blow to China's great cause of resisting Japan and defending the country. Historically, after Wang Jingwei defected to Japan to form the puppet Nationalist Government.  The whole country, from the senior military and political officials of the Kuomintang to the front-line troops fighting fiercely against the Japanese invaders, mutinied on a large scale and accepted the leadership of the puppet Nationalist Government in Nanjing. For a time, China's anti-Japanese situation entered the most difficult and difficult period.  Due to his transcendent status and prestige within the Kuomintang, the words of the traitor Wang still carried a lot of weight, which immediately aroused the echo of many senior officials present, and they all looked at Chairman Chiang with hope, looking forward to how he would respond.  How could Chairman Chiang not know the intentions of this traitor who was always fighting against him openly and secretly? Although Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Army had achieved an incredible victory, it was a great development for the country and the nation in terms of national justice.  But from a political and military perspective, it is foreseeable that Zhang Xinghan will achieve such an earth-shattering political reputation.  , Zhang Xinghan, who originally enjoyed a high reputation in the minds of 40 million people, will reach a peak of personal prestige, even directly surpassing the actual leader of the National Government, becoming the well-deserved leader of China. By then, Chairman Chiang will be the leader.  It’s hard to say whether the Nanjing National Government will become the Northeast National Government or the Peking National Government. So everyone knows that from another perspective, Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force has become the National Government.  The government's serious concern, especially the serious concern of Chairman Chiang. However, Chairman Chiang is also a master of politics. He asked: "I haven't been able to pay any good attention to this matter for a while. I don't know.  Brother Xin, what do you think?  " Traitor Wang did not expect that Chairman Chiang would throw the problem to him. He was obviously startled, but he thought of the little calculation in his heart. Traitor Wang was secretly happy, pretending to think for a moment, and said seriously: "Brother Zhongzheng, Zhang Xinghan is a loyal man.  , turned the tide in the critical moment of the September 18th Incident, and for several years did not use the central government to mobilize a single soldier, a single shot or a bullet.  The Japanese lost their armor and were defeated one after another. Not only did they recover the lost territory outside the customs, they also captured the Koryo Peninsula.     nowadays.  They also annihilated the Japanese aggressors in one fell swoop. They claimed to be a powerful combined naval fleet and invaded Kyushu Island, achieving a feat that has never been done before or since.  ???????Does Huo Qubing, who has made great achievements in ancient times, dare to compete with him?  Therefore, I believe that as the central government, we should give reasonable awards and promotions to comfort the hearts of the people across the country and the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers.  Encourage them to keep up their efforts and make new contributions to the country and the nation!  "The traitor Wang's words immediately aroused the recognition of some senior officials present, and a group of party and state elders began to nod in agreement. Chairman Chiang looked at Wang Jingwei with a stern look, and found that there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he was a little confused. After thinking about it deeply, he suddenly  He understood, but the matter was at this point, and he couldn't refute in front of so many people, so he had to ask angrily: "Zhang Xinghan is already a second-level army general. I don't know how Brother Ji Xin thinks he should be rewarded."???? Wang Da Hanqing said unhurriedly: "I think that Zhang Xinghan should be promoted to a first-class army general for his great military exploits. In terms of position, he can follow the example of Zhang Hanqing.  " Chairman Chiang frowned when he heard this, obviously displeased. Now he is the only first-level army general in China. "Wang Zhaoming's arrangement, doesn't it mean that Zhang Xinghan will be on an equal footing with him in terms of military rank?  ? Of course Chairman Jiang would not agree. At his signal, Chen Cheng stood up and retorted. Finally, after a debate between the two sides, it was decided that Zhang Xinghan would still be a second-level army general, but his position would be from the Northeast Frontier Defense.  Commander-in-Chief of the Army, he was promoted to Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China. He also served as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission for the first time and concurrently served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Border Defense Force. This was obviously a concession made by both parties. PS: Yesterday there was no Christmas.  I'm sorry that I can't update. To show my sincerity, there will be five updates today. This is the first update! (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 428: The Interdiction Battle

    Kyushu Island, Japan, near Tagawa Castle.  A large number of Japanese troops were retreating southward along the highway in panic. About twenty or thirty miles away from the rear of their retreating troops, about a battalion of Northeastern border guards were fighting fiercely with hundreds of Japanese soldiers.  The Northeastern Army of this battalion was a mechanized pursuit force sent by Wang Tiehan with military trucks and three-wheel motorcycles after receiving the latest order from Zhang Xinghan.  They were the first to assemble and set out. With their mechanized speed advantage, they quickly caught up with the Japanese rear troops and had a fierce exchange of fire with them.  Although the 18th Division and the 6th Division tightly blocked the news of the annihilation of the combined naval fleet and the failure of the Kanmon Strait battle, the sudden retreat of the entire army was so panicked that any devil with any brains could guess that something had changed in the battle situation.  .  "The pursuit of the Northeastern Border Guards only strengthened the suspicions of the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese army, which had just fought and had no intention of fighting, collapsed at the first touch.  The battalion of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force took advantage of the situation and launched a pursuit, easily defeating hundreds of Japanese soldiers.  After that, they no longer ignored the remaining Japanese soldiers who had managed to escape, but continued to pursue the main Japanese troops southward along the highway.  A large number of the main Japanese troops had just retreated to the northern suburbs of Tagawa Castle.  However, they found that there was a sudden roar of aircraft engines in the sky, and they couldn't help but look up at the sky.  The sharp-eyed Japanese soldier suddenly pointed at the rapidly growing black spot in the sky and screamed: "It's a plane, a Chinese fighter plane!" The main Japanese army suddenly panicked. At this moment, a transport plane belonging to the airborne brigade appeared in the sky.  A group of escorting Zero fighter jets also discovered the main force of the Japanese army on the ground, and more than twenty of them roared and swooped towards the Japanese crowd.  Other fighter planes also covered the transport plane and began to fly towards the south of Tagawa City.  At the same time, Xing Zhanqing also led three tank and armor regiments to rush to the south of Taguan City and contacted the Air Force via radio.  Knowing that the Air Force had also arrived and was preparing to airdrop the paratrooper brigade, Xing Zhanqing immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the response.  Soon, groups of umbrella flowers jumped from the transport planes in the sky.     at this time.  The communications trooper quickly ran over to report to Xing Zhanqing: "Sir, a large number of Japanese infantry were found in the north of the city. Currently, one of our air force's escort fighter groups is conducting an air strike against them, but it may not last long. Commander Wang Longxiang, the leader of the parachute brigade, requested that we send troops immediately.  The troops went to intercept, in case the Japanese army reacted and entered the city first, or attacked our airborne troops!" Xing Zhanqing was shocked when he heard this, and immediately turned to a regiment commander behind him and said: "Old Liu, you lead a regiment and continue to guard here!  , to cover the successful airborne landing of the airborne troops, I will lead the troops to attack the Japanese invaders immediately to prevent them from entering Tianchuan City!" "Yes," Commander Liu responded.  He did not forget to tell him: "Be careful!"  "Order the troops to dispatch immediately and attack the little Japanese. Quick!" The subordinates took the order and ran towards their tanks.  "Quick! Quick! The whole regiment is dispatched!" About ten minutes later, all the tank soldiers were on board and ready for battle.  With deafening roars, nearly two hundred Panzer IV tanks rushed towards the north of the city like tigers coming out of the mountain, with unrivaled power that crushed everything.  The more than 2,000 Japanese troops left behind in the city were frightened when they saw this, and there were still hundreds of tanks watching in the south of the city, so they did not dare to leave the city and could only watch the iron-clad torrent of nearly 200 tanks passing by.  Tagawa Castle roared and rushed towards the north of the city.  In the north of the city, Japanese soldiers from the 18th Division and the 6th Division were attacked by more than 20 aircraft.  He was in a state of panic and was tired of avoiding any response.  Xing Zhanqing led more than 190 No. 4 tanks to arrive at the right time. All the tanks opened fire one after another, and dense rain of machine gun bullets and artillery shells poured like raindrops into the chaotic crowd of Japanese troops.  Immediately, the Japanese soldiers were knocked down in pieces, and miserable howls could be heard one after another.  Nearly two hundred tanks opened fire fiercely, like two hundred mobile fortresses that breathed fire.  The Japanese soldiers went on a rampage, and the Japanese soldiers they killed cried for their fathers and mothers and screamed again and again.  “Swish, swish, swish…” The dense bullets poured out in a fan shape like a torrential rain, and wherever they went, Japanese soldiers fell in groups like grass.  On a soil slope.  Nakamura Yaichi, Igo Masaichi and others looked at the tanks and armored troops of the Northeastern Army that suddenly entered and started killing their own troops with the cooperation of air force fighter planes. Their faces were livid and they couldn't help but?Twitching.  "Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is a call from the troops left behind in the city. A large number of China Army paratroopers are airborne in the south of the city!" A Japanese communications soldier ran up the slope with a marching radio on his back and reported to Nakamura Taniichi, the commander of the Sixth Division.  Nakamuraya's eyes tightened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "What? China paratroopers? What are they going to do?" The Chief of Staff Yungo Yungo on the side suddenly lost his voice and said: "It's not good, your Excellency, the division commander, please give the order quickly.  The troops left behind in the city attack, and we must destroy the Chinese airborne troops no matter what, otherwise we will die without a burial place!" Nakamuraya was not stupid, and immediately understood Yungo Momoka's worries, and just gave the instructions to the communication troops, but unexpectedly!  Soon, the defenders in the city called again, saying that there was a Chinese tank unit in the south of the city, and they did not dare to leave the city.  After receiving the electricity, Nakamura Tanichi looked at Momiga Yungo and Igo Masaichi with a depressed expression and said: "You two, there are interceptors in front and pursuers behind. What do you think we should do?" Igo Masaichi was also upset.  Ru Ma, with a gloomy face, lowered his head and said nothing.  It was Momiga Yungo who came up with a solution that was not a solution and said: "Two generals, now that the Chinese tanks and armored forces have arrived, and with the help of their air force in the sky, if we continue to retreat southward, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to successfully withdraw to Kurume  "The only solution for now is to withdraw the entire army into Tagawa City and wait for changes!" Upon hearing this, Major General Kobayashi, the chief of staff of the 18th Division, immediately shook his head and said: "No, let's not mention that we have been attacked by Chinese tanks and armored forces.  If we are entangled and forced to withdraw into Tagawa Castle, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, Baiga-kun, have you ever thought that even if we can withdraw into the city, we must not hold on because it won't be long before the China Army and their second echelon land from the direction of Kitakyushu Island.  The troops will come in pursuit. By then, this place will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Chinese land, sea and air forces. Once that happens, the results waiting for us will be self-evident. " "Mr. Xiaolin is right, we must not hold on.  "Tagawa, that will only lead to death, because there will never be any reinforcements on Kyushu Island. Even if there are, they will not be able to defeat the Chinese army that is besieging the city." Yiwu Zhenghe is convinced.  He nodded.  Nakamura Yaichi frowned and looked at Yungo Momoka with some displeasure. As his chief of staff, he actually came up with such a weird idea, and Nakamura Yaichi was very unhappy.  Baiga Yungo turned a blind eye to Nakamura Yaichi's displeasure, but said extremely seriously: "I think the general misunderstood my meaning. I just said to withdraw to Tagawa Castle to wait for changes, and this change will come soon.  It’s only a few hours at most. “That’s right, it’s night. If we force a breakout during the day, we will definitely be intercepted by a joint attack by Chinese tanks and aircraft, so tonight will be our best chance to break through.”  What He Yunwu said made Yiwu Zhenghe, Xiaolin and the other three slightly satisfied. They looked up and saw that it was almost evening, and the Chinese pursuit force should not have arrived so quickly.  As long as we break out after dark and before the Chinese pursuing army arrives, the Chinese tanks and armored troops outside the city will not be able to stop us all under the cover of darkness.  In this way, at least more than half of the troops can break out and withdraw to Kurume, Nagasaki, Kumamoto and other places.  These are enough. With these active-duty troops as the backbone, future guerrilla wars can continue.  After weighing the pros and cons, Nakamura Yaichi and Igo Masaichi issued orders to their respective troops to withdraw into the city.  After receiving the order, the dizzy Japanese soldiers who were being jointly attacked by Xing Zhanqing's command and the air force fighter group immediately swarmed towards the east and west directions of Tianchuan City as if they were granted amnesty.  Upon seeing this, Xing Zhanqing immediately contacted the Air Force to intercept them with all their strength. However, the two Japanese divisions plus baggage and other directly-affiliated troops numbered nearly 30,000 to 40,000 people. It was impossible to annihilate them all in a short time with just two tank regiments and dozens of Air Force aircraft.  , let alone be able to stop them all outside the city.  You can only fire with all your strength to cause the greatest damage to the Japanese as much as possible.  About an hour later, after suffering heavy casualties, most of the Japanese troops fled into the city.  On the battlefield in the east of the city, Japanese corpses were everywhere, blood flowed in the wilderness, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air and was disgusting.  Xing Zhanqing jumped out of a No. 4 tank. It was as if he didn't smell the pungent smell of blood at all. He cursed angrily: "You damn little devil is so cunning. You are so willing to sacrifice two entire regiments to stop us."  The pursuit." An adjutant ran over at this time and said breathlessly: "Sir, the paratrooper brigade has completed the airborne landing and is assembled, and is ready to go into battle at any time."bsp; "Okay."  City, wait for my main pursuit force to arrive before attacking." "Yes." The adjutant quickly saluted and turned to leave.  Xing Zhanqing came to his tank in three steps and two steps. The communication soldier on the opposite side said: "Immediately send a message to the commander-in-chief. The enemy has been intercepted by our troops in Tianchuan City. Please send reinforcements quickly!" ps: Sorry, yesterday  I couldn’t complete my plan for the fifth update, but I will try my best to complete it today, no matter what time it is.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 429: Immediate withdrawal of the siege

    Kitakyushu Island, outside the compound of the Northeast Border Guard Provisional Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan strode out of a car accompanied by Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe and others.  Wang Tiehan and others, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward to salute and greet them: "Chief Commander, Commander, Commander Zhao, you are here!" Zhang Xinghan and the other three returned the salute one after another, and after greeting everyone, they walked into the headquarters.  As soon as he entered the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan asked: "Old commander, how is the battle going now?" Before Wang Tiehan had time to answer, a communications soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry, stood up and saluted: "  Report!" When seeing Zhang Xinghan and several other senior generals of the Northeast Frontier Force present, the communications soldier was obviously startled, but quickly reacted and quickly turned to Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe and others and saluted: "I have seen the commander-in-chief."  Wang Yizhe waved his hand to him casually and said, "Let's get down to business. Seeing that you are in such a hurry, what happened?" The communications soldier then remembered the message in his hand, quickly opened it and read: "Xing Zhanqing called, the Japanese troops fled south from Northern Kyushu Island.  The main force of the 6th and 18th Division encountered our troops in the Tagawa area. Our airborne troops arrived just as our airborne troops arrived. After a fierce battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses and was forced to withdraw into Tagawa City. Our troops were unable to attack due to lack of troops.  Therefore, the whole city was blocked and besieged. "As a precaution, I ask the commander-in-chief to send the main pursuit troops to come for reinforcements!" After the communication soldier finished reading, Zhang Xinghan, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and the other four looked at each other.  They all walked towards the giant combat map hanging on the wall of the war room.  Before everyone came to the map, they first found the location of Tianchuan on the map. Then Zhang Xinghan turned to ask Wang Tiehan: "Where has the pursuit force you sent out reached now? How far is it from Tianchuan?" Wang Tiehan said  : "One battalion set off first more than three hours ago. Theirs should be the closest to Tagawa. I will send a message to ask for their specific location and the location of other regiments." Not long after, Wang Tiehan went  Then he returned and said to Zhang Xinghan: "General, let me ask you clearly. At present, the leading battalion of our pursuit force is less than twenty miles away from Tianchuan. We can arrive in half an hour at the latest. In addition, the other three regiments of our department are nine."  More than a thousand main troops can arrive before seven o'clock in the evening. " "Half an hour is enough time, but the strength of a battalion is still too thin. Even if the paratrooper brigade is included, it is less than two thousand infantry, and the number in Tagawa Castle is still too small.  The main force of the Japs is at least 20,000 people, or even more," Wang Yizhe said meaningfully.  Wang Tiehan bowed his head in silence, it is true.  Zhao Zhenfan also nodded, obviously he thought so too.  But Zhang Xinghan unexpectedly raised his hand and said: "No, the total strength of two thousand infantry plus three hundred tanks and combat vehicles of three tank regiments exceeds ten thousand, which is similar to that of the Japanese. The most important thing is that we have tanks and military equipment.  Trucks have an absolute advantage in mobility. If used properly, it will not be a problem to block the Japanese 6th Division and the 18th Division. They may even fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, severely damaging or even completely annihilating these two main Japanese armies in the Kyushu Island area.  "Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan looked at each other. They were absolutely convinced of Zhang Xinghan's tactical commanding skills. Whether it was the initial defense of Shenyang, the Battle of Tongliao, and the subsequent Battle of Changchun, they always defeated more with less and defeated more with fewer enemies.  Its excellent tactical command.  His strategic vision is definitely at the level of a master, enough to be included in the textbooks of major military academies.  But now Zhang Xinghan is not in Tagawa, and he is not commanding the front line. Moreover, the situation in Japan is different from before.  However, as subordinates, they still fulfilled their responsibilities. Zhao Zhenfan was the first to speak: "Master, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Zhang Xinghan waved his hands without thinking and said: "Speak." "Let's not talk about it in Tianchuan for now.  It is Xing Zhanqing who is on the front line, not you, the commander-in-chief. Even if you are the commander-in-chief, I believe that if the Japanese choose to disperse and break out, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them all. At most, we can only annihilate half of their troops. "  Zhao Zhenfan said bluntly.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Zhenfan approvingly.  Said: "Guoping, your worries are justified. As you said, if the Japanese choose to disperse and break out, even if I personally command the front line, it is impossible to stop them all and annihilate them. Unless we have 20,000 infantry  "But what if we don't give the Japanese a chance to break out?" "Oh? What do you mean?" Zhao Zhenfan said curiously.  They were obviously very curious and nodded in agreement.  &nbsp; Zhang Xinghan glanced at the three of them and said lightly: "Immediately send power to Xing Zhanqing and Wang Longxiang, immediately withdraw the siege, and let the Japanese retreat!" "What? Withdraw the siege and let the Japanese retreat?" The three of them were shocked and looked at each other.  , Wang Yizhe asked puzzledly: "Chief, wouldn't this give the Japanese a better chance of escaping smoothly?" "Yes, as long as our army withdraws from the encirclement, the Japanese will definitely break out of the encirclement at night. Once they break out,  , we can quickly break them into pieces and retreat calmly, so that we won’t even have the victory of annihilating half of them." Zhao Zhenfan nodded.  Zhang Xinghan decided to teach them a lesson and said: "Three of you, our civilization has been extensive and profound for thousands of years, and the art of war is also the culmination of the transcendent wisdom of countless ancestors over thousands of years.  In fact, once we withdraw from the siege, the Japanese will not understand the current situation between the enemy and us on Kyushu Island, so they will not dare to divide their troops easily to avoid being suddenly attacked by our army and unable to protect themselves. Therefore, they will definitely take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to follow the highway.  Quickly retreat to their destination, Kurume. Of course, nothing is absolute. Just in case, we also need to order Xing Zhanqing and Wang Longxiang to arrange for troops to deploy small groups of attack troops on both sides of the road to intimidate the Japanese army.  Don’t dare to rashly divide your troops and retreat before knowing the truth. The main force is following the Japanese army. With the mobility of 300 tanks, it is not a problem to follow up. In this way, we only need to wait until dawn, and our air force reconnaissance planes can be dispatched.  We are no longer afraid of the Japanese dividing their forces. In broad daylight, our tanks and ground pursuit forces will pursue them with the most precision under the guidance of the Air Force. The Air Force fighter planes are by no means a vegetarian. In addition, we immediately ordered our troops to gather on Kitakyushu Island.  Each division immediately gathered all the tank regiments, baggage regiments, artillery regiments and all military trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles of the subordinate regiments, as long as they were wheeled, for me, and then used these transportation vehicles to carry a large number of pursuit.  The troops immediately set off southward along the highway. With our mobility advantage, we will definitely be able to catch up with the retreating troops of the Japanese 6th and 18th Divisions before dark. By then, annihilating them will be a matter of course.  The Japanese are running too fast, and our air force and Xing Zhanqing's tank pursuit force must hit them at the right time to slow them down." After listening to Zhang Xinghan's long explanation, Wang Yizhe and the other three finally showed a look of realization.  With a look of expression, they all nodded.  Seeing that everyone understood, Zhang Xinghan no longer wasted time and quickly ordered them to do as they were told.  The three of them no longer hesitated, took the order and left one after another, and quickly conveyed the order.  For a time, more than 100,000 Northeastern Frontier Force officers and soldiers gathered in Kitakyushu Island began to mobilize.  In the dark night, the headlights of countless military trucks shined with dazzling snow-white light beams, the roar of engines was endless, and the entire Kitakyushu City was bustling with activity.  Outside Tagawa City, in the temporary headquarters of the paratrooper brigade and tank unit.  Xing Zhanqingzheng, Wang Longxiang, who is known as the first paratrooper of the Chinese nation, and several officers gathered in front of a military map to discuss the siege strategy.  Two flashlights were propped up with branches above them, and a dimly lit kerosene lamp was placed on the table.  With the help of flashlights and kerosene lamps, they were able to see the map clearly.  "The art of war has it that we should surround three formations. Our three tank regiments have just surrounded Tianchuan City from the east, west, north, and west. Captain Wang, are all your people ambush at the south gate?" Xing Zhanqing asked, pointing to the map.  Wang Longxiang solemnly expressed his position: "Please rest assured, Commander Xing, all one thousand and three officers and soldiers of our brigade have entered the ambush position. As long as the little devils dare to leave the city, we will definitely give them a head-on attack!" "Very good, I have contacted Commander Wang.  Yes, a vanguard battalion of our 6th Reorganized Division will be here soon. Once they arrive, they can cooperate with you at any time to strengthen our blocking force." Xing Zhanqing nodded with satisfaction.  Suddenly, a communications soldier walked out of the telecommunications room next to him and saluted the two of them: "Sir, Commander-in-Chief Zhang is calling." "Huh? The Commander-in-Chief called back? Come and see." Xing Zhanqing said:  Zhang Xinghan sincerely admired him and immediately reached out for the message.  The communications soldier quickly handed him the message.  Xing Zhanqing took it and looked at it with joy, but the smile on his face quickly solidified.  Wang Longxiang on the side saw this and couldn't help but asked: "Sir Xing, what does the commander-in-chief's message say? Is there something unexpected?" "The commander-in-chief asked us to withdraw from the siege immediately." Xing Zhanqing said in a deep voice with a confused look on his face.  &nbsp; "Huh?" Wang Longxiang was also shocked. Xing Zhanqing had already reached out and handed the message to him.  After receiving the message and reading it over, Wang Longxiang calmed down a little and asked: "Sir Xing, what do you think we should do? To withdraw the siege now is to let the little devil go."  Absolute admiration made him absolutely convinced of Zhang Xinghan, and he said word for word: "Execute the order, adjutant, send my order immediately, and all regiments will withdraw immediately!"

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 430: What to do?

    In Tagawa Castle, the Japanese army's temporary military police headquarters.  Nakamura Yaichi and Igo were nervously eating dinner while still in shock. They were also human beings. After running around for a day, they also needed to eat and rest. What's more, they were preparing to break out at night, and they had to eat and drink enough to keep their energy strong.  .  Suddenly, the chief of staff of the 18th Division, Yungo Hyakuga, ran in from outside excitedly and said to the two of them: "Two generals, my reconnaissance sentry found that the Chinese people outside the city have retreated." "What?" Nakamuraya put down his hands.  Wan Chopsticks and Yiwu looked at each other and asked: "Why did the Chinese retreat?" Baihe Yungo said: "Even this humble official can't guess what the Chinese are doing. It may be a conspiracy, or it may be true.  Retreating." "Igo-kun, what do you think?" Nakamuraya turned around and asked.  Yiwu Zhenghe pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what tricks the Chinese people are playing, we have to break through. Since they are taking the initiative to withdraw from the siege now, we must seize the opportunity to break out. Otherwise, at dawn, the main force of the Chinese people will wait  When the troops arrived, it was too late. " "General Igo, do you mean to break out as planned?" Nakamura Yachi asked.  At this moment, Major General Xiao Lin, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, suddenly walked in and said first: "No, we can never break out of the encirclement according to the original plan. Although the Chinese people withdrew from the encirclement, they must have taken countermeasures. Once we  If we follow the original plan to break out, it is very likely that we will fall into the trap of the Chinese. "Xiaolin-kun, what do you think we should do?" Yiwu Zhenghe asked.  Major General Kobayashi sighed and said: "It seems that the China Army we are fighting against is not easy." "Does Kobayashi-kun already have a countermeasure?" Nakamuraya asked anxiously.  Major General Xiaolin said: "If we have enough time and if we still have reinforcements, we can deal with it calmly, but now the main pursuit force of the Chinese may arrive at any time. We can only seize every opportunity, act immediately, and the whole army will  Quietly leave the city in three directions: east, west, and south, and then immediately gather together towards the south gate and retreat southward along the road. "In order to be safe, two cavalry regiments can be ordered to clear the way for the front and rear as the vanguard and rear guard."  middle.  The Japanese cavalry regiment was the fastest and was the first to withdraw into the city. Instead, it became the unit with the least losses, so it is now the vanguard and rearguard chosen by Major General Kobayashi.  "Nakamura-kun, what do you think?" Igo Masaichi obviously agreed with his chief of staff's approach, but he still had to ask Nakamura Taniichi, after all, he was on the same level as him.  rather than his own subordinates.  In this difficult period, they should unite as one and avoid any unpleasantness.  Nakamura Tanichi actually has no better way. The empire has undergone such a sudden change, and the entire Kyushu Island has fallen into an unprecedented crisis. Even now, he seems to be dreaming.  I always feel like the predicament I'm facing now is unreal.  So he nodded without thinking and said: "I agree with Xiaolin-kun's method, so let's do it." "Well, since Nakamura-kun, you have no objection, let's act quickly." Igo said in agreement.  At the moment, the two of them issued orders to the respective regiments under their respective jurisdictions.  Half an hour later, the well-prepared Japanese troops did not dare to waste any more time and quietly left the city in three groups.  Although Xing Zhanqing withdrew the siege in accordance with Zhang Xinghan's order.  But Wang Longxiang was still asked to leave some reconnaissance personnel to monitor the actions of the Japanese army.  As soon as the Japs started taking action, Xing Zhanqing learned the news. While arranging for someone to send a message to Zhang Xinghan, he said to the lieutenant colonel commander of the Pioneer Battalion who had just arrived for reinforcements: "Captain Wu, the war is urgent and your battalion may not be able to rest."  "The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander immediately expressed his position proudly: "Sir, as a soldier, it is your duty to kill the enemy and serve the country. This time I was ordered to come for reinforcements. The priority is the war. Please give me the order.  .”  Above, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Guo Zhong and others, was riding in a military armored vehicle and heading towards Tianchuan with the main force.  The accompanying communications soldier suddenly reported: "General, Xing Zhanqing called, the Japanese have begun to retreat. He has ordered the troops to act according to the original plan." "Very good." Zhang Xinghan said: "Reply to Xing Zhanqing, I have personally led the main force  On the way, he was ordered to follow up with the Japanese and never let the Japanese escape easily. "Yes," the signal soldier responded.  The telegram was quickly sent out. ?… ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?In the city, the Japanese soldiers of the 6th and 18th Divisions left the city in three groups. They were suddenly hit by fierce firepower from the northeastern border guards in the east and west of the city.  Unaware of the enemy's situation in the dark, the Japanese who were eager to retreat did not dare to fight, so they circled around the south of the city, met with the evacuating troops from the south of the city, and quickly retreated along the highway.  The 6th Cavalry Regiment belonging to the 6th Division acted as the vanguard and ran for four kilometers in one breath without encountering any obstruction.  The captain of the cavalry regiment stopped his horse, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the adjutant who was following him: "Report to the division commander that the front is safe and our unit has not been attacked. Please speed up and follow up." Two kilometers  In addition, Nakamura Taniichi, Igo Masaichi and others were leading the main force of the division to follow up, after receiving a report from the 6th Cavalry Regiment.  The two of them were calm, and suddenly another Japanese soldier came on horseback to report: "Your Excellency, the Chinese have captured Taguan City. A large number of Chinese tanks and chariots have appeared behind us and are chasing our 18th Cavalry Regiment. The commander of the regiment is leading our warriors."  "Nakamura-kun, it seems that the Chinese people's purpose is to capture Tagawa Castle and lure us out of the city to kill us in the wild. They don't have enough troops to attack the city, and they certainly can't divide their troops to intercept them. The reward of the 6th Cavalry Regiment is  This is good evidence. If this opportunity is rare, we should retreat as soon as possible. As long as we retreat to Kurume, we will be safe for the time being!" Igo Masaichi said.  Nakamuraya nodded repeatedly. The fall of Tagawa Castle did not matter to him. The key was that he and his subordinates could escape. He immediately said: "Okay, okay, order the troops to speed up immediately." The war is going on.  The battle plan formulated by Zhang Xinghan was developed. About two hours later, Major General Kobayashi, the chief of staff of the 6th Division, discovered something was wrong and rushed to catch up with Igo Masaichi and Nakamura Taniichi in front.  "Two generals, things are a little weird!" Xiao Lin said.  "Oh? Mr. Xiaolin, what's so weird?" Yiwu Zhenghe asked in confusion.  "The Chinese pursuit force has been following our 18th Cavalry Regiment. If this continues, we will not be able to get rid of them at all. Once dawn comes, the Chinese air force will arrive, and by then we will have nothing to hide from!  "Xiao Lin expressed his worries.  Hearing what Major General Kobayashi said, Nakamura Yaichi and Igo's expressions suddenly changed. The former asked hurriedly: "So Kobayashi-kun, what should we do now?" Kobayashi was silent for a while, and said firmly: "For now  The only solution is to disperse and break through immediately. The Chinese troops are insufficient, so that most of our troops can escape their pursuit and withdraw to Kurume. " "But if we disperse and break through, will the Chinese break through in one fell swoop?  If the troops are dispersed, the situation will not be conducive to our future development. "Nakamura Yaichi is a little worried. Their mission is not just to escape, but to preserve as much strength as possible. Based on this,  Armed expansion of the Japanese on Kyushu Island, carried out a long struggle until the day of victory.  In addition, they are also responsible for transferring talents and facilities from major heavy industry bases and military bases hidden on Kyushu Island.  "General Nakamura, the situation is critical. Please don't hesitate any longer. If we continue to delay like this, our entire army will probably be annihilated. We will disperse and break out. No matter what, the result will be better than this." Major General Kobayashi said when he saw Nakamura Taniichi  Hesitant, he couldn't help but said anxiously.  "Okay, break out in separate groups!" Nakamuraya gritted his teeth and decided.  "General, please immediately order the 18th Cavalry Regiment to resist desperately, and also order the 6th Cavalry Regiment to continue to retreat south along the highway to attract the Chinese pursuers!" Xiao Lin said.  Igo Masaichi and Nakamuraya agreed, and the order was quickly passed on.  The two divisions began to move separately. When they were leaving, Nakamura Yaichi and Igo Masaichi solemnly saluted each other and said to each other: "Nakamura-kun, please take care of yourself!" "Igo-kun, the same is true for you. I hope we can stay in the rice field for a long time."  Meet." At that moment, more than 20,000 soldiers from the two divisions left the road in separate groups and fled to the southeast and southwest.  The first sound of gunfire was from the southwest, where Nakamura Yaichi's path-opening squadron was blocked by fierce firepower from the first section of Wang Longxiang's paratrooper brigade.  The Paratrooper Brigade is one of the most elite units in Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Its members are all selected from the best in each division. They are well-trained, and all advanced equipment is given priority. The combat effectiveness is extremely strong.  The mg34 general-purpose machine gun, MP38 and bazooka are currently the most advanced killing weapons in the world.  The combined firepower of these weapons is enough to inflict hardship on any military force in the world.  Not to mention that the morale of the Japanese army was low, and every one of them was like a frightened bird. As soon as they were attacked, a large number of them fell?, and the rest fled back in panic.  Soon, deafening and intensive gunshots and shouts of killing were also heard from the southeast.  In the darkness, the Japanese did not know what was true and what was true. They were suddenly hit by fierce firepower. They were all surrounded by grass and trees. They had no fighting power at all, so they had to retreat to the road one after another.  Nakamura Yaichi and Igo Masato, who had been separated for less than half an hour, reluctantly met again.  "Mr. Kobayashi, we have an unknown number of Chinese troops blocking our flanks. What should we do?" Nakamuraya asked when he saw the equally disgraced Chief of Staff Kobayashi.  ps: To make up for yesterday’s post, as of now, 48,000 words have been updated this month, which is still 52,000 short of the goal of 100,000 words. It will definitely be completed before the end of the month.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 431: Death of Okamura Neji

    "Xiaolin-kun, didn't you say that the Chinese troops are insufficient? Then why are there ambushes on our wings?" Yiwu Zhenghe was a little unhappy. A grenade just now almost sent him to the west. The reason why Xiaolin was so embarrassed was that  Because he just jumped in to save him.  Major General Xiaolin looked ashamed and said: "Your Excellency, General, before I humbled my position, I concluded that the Chinese troops were insufficient based on the battle situation in Tagawa City. If the Chinese troops were sufficient, there would be no need for them to take the initiative to withdraw the siege and lure us out of the city. They could directly attack us.  We were besieged in the city and launched an attack until the city was broken. However, I didn't expect the Chinese to be so cunning and ambushed us on both sides. "I asked the general to punish him," Yiwu Zhenghe sighed helplessly.  There is no point in punishing you at this time.  Seeing that Yiwu had stopped making any sound, Nakamura Tanichi hurriedly asked: "Kobayashi-kun, what should we do next? Think of a way, should you continue to break out of the encirclement?" "That's inappropriate." Kobayashi shook his head and said.  : "Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, we must not take risks and break out. We should concentrate our efforts to break out. After all, the 6th Cavalry Regiment has not been ambushed so far." After the failure just now, Major General Xiaolin instinctively chose to play it safe.  decision.  The already frightened Nakamuraya and others had no choice but to join forces again and advance along the road. At the same time, they sent engineers to lay as many mines and booby traps on the road as possible to slow down the tank pursuit troops of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force as much as possible.  ???????????At the same time, on the Kunisaki Peninsula and the Strait east of the Kanmon Strait, two small and inconspicuous fishing boats quietly set off from the north shore and sailed to the Kunisaki Peninsula.  On the fishing boat, there were more than a dozen fully armed Japanese soldiers standing. These Japanese soldiers were burly and looked like elite men who had been trained for many years.  On the deck of one of the fishing boats stood a Japanese officer wearing a general's uniform.  This person is none other than Neji Okamura, who just flew from Tokyo to the border of Honshu Island and took a boat overnight to cross the sea.  Although we know that the waters near Kyushu Island have been blocked by the submarines and navy of the Northeast Border Guard.  The risk was very high, but Okamura Neiji decided to take the risk and cross the sea overnight.  Because he knew that if he delayed for one more day, the situation on Kyushu Island might worsen.  So he must rush to Kyushu Island as soon as possible in order to preside over the battle on Kyushu Island.  As for flying directly to Nagasaki, Kumamoto and other places, it’s not that Okamura Neiji didn’t want to, but the aviation unit suffered heavy losses.  Air supremacy has been seized by the Northeast Frontier Force's air force. Chinese fighter planes are everywhere over the entire Kyushu Island, making it much more dangerous to fly.  So relatively speaking, the chance of encountering danger when taking advantage of the darkness on a small boat to cross the border is much smaller.  However, it may be that Okamura Neji was unlucky. As soon as the two fishing boats reached the middle of the sea, they were discovered by a Northeastern Border Guard Xxi submarine that happened to be patrolling here.  Because the Japanese naval and air power was almost completely lost in the decisive battle of Tsushima Strait, and it was night.  Therefore, the xxi submarine numbered 080 was not submerged, but was running normally.  xxi After discovering two suspicious fishing boats, he did not immediately launch torpedoes, but quickly approached them. Although he knew that the fishing boats appearing here were 100% Japanese ships, it was too much to use expensive torpedoes to hit two fishing boats.  waste.  Soon, two Japanese fishing boats also spotted the rapidly approaching behemoth, and all the Japanese on board were shocked.  An accompanying adjutant changed his face and said to Okamura Neiji: "General. Sorry, there is a China submarine approaching." "Huh?" Okamura Neiji changed his face when he heard this, and a hint of anger appeared on his usually calm face.  panic.  This is the No. 080 submarine that has arrived less than 500 meters away from Okamura Neiji and the others. The adjutant quickly ordered the fishing boat to speed up.  I want to get rid of this damn Chinese submarine, but to no avail. No matter how fast the fishing boat is, it is impossible to be faster than the submarine on the water.  And it was discovered that two fishing boats were trying to escape. No. 080 roared like a wild wolf that found its prey and wanted to escape.  The four 20mm anti-aircraft guns used for air defense were used as direct-fire artillery and started to fire violently at the two fishing boats.  A fishing boat was hit on the spot.  There was a violent explosion, and the dazzling red light soaring into the sky was so dazzling in the dark night.  A dozen Japanese soldiers on the fishing boat were all reduced to ashes.  Seeing such a tragic situation, Okamura Neiji turned pale and said to the adjutant: "Give power to the base camp, we are under attack" The adjutant looked miserable, knowing that Okamura Neiji was about to send a farewell message.  Although I thought there might be a crisis before coming here, I didn’t expect thisSo fast, although the adjutant was unwilling to do so, he also knew that time was running out.  He had no choice but to take orders and walk quickly towards the cabin.  Okamura Neiji saw the unwillingness on the adjutant's face, but in fact he was even more unwilling than him. As an outstanding imperial man, Okamura Neiji believed that he still had too many ambitions to realize.  There are still too many talents that have not had time to be used.  Finally, just as the adjutant sent the message, the Chinese submarine opened fire again, and the dazzling flames pierced the night sky, roaring towards Okamura Neji and the others.  The fire light shined on Okamura Neiji's eyes, and he saw the fire getting bigger and bigger. Okamura Neiji stood silently until the big explosion that reached the sky swallowed him up.  After No. 080 killed two suspicious fishing boats in succession, he searched around for a while, and after confirming that there were no survivors, he continued patrolling. He did not expect that there was a senior Japanese general on these two inconspicuous Japanese fishing boats.  They didn’t even know that they had killed Okamura Neji, the most capable fighter in the entire Japanese military, who was regarded as a powerful enemy by Zhang Xinghan.  ……………… While Okamura Neji broke his sword and sank in the Seto Inland Sea of ??Kunisaki Peninsula, the cat and mouse game on Kyushu Island continued.  The panicked Japanese were still unable to get rid of the pursuit of Xing Zhanqing's troops. By about five o'clock in the morning, the 18th Cavalry Regiment in charge of the rear had almost all casualties.  Dozens of them even stepped on the mines laid by our own engineers because they retreated too hastily and were blown into the sky.  Seeing that it was getting dark, the troops were slow to move due to repeated attacks from the Chinese on both sides, and they evacuated less than 30 kilometers. ?????????????? Nakamura Yaichi and Igo Masahiro, who hadn’t slept a wink for two days and two nights, both looked particularly lost and haggard, their narrow rat eyes covered with bloodshot eyes.  "Division Commander, for the present plan, it is better to evacuate with the 6th Cavalry Regiment as soon as possible. The Cavalry Regiment is very mobile and the Chinese will definitely not be able to catch up." Major General Xiaolin advised earnestly.  After knowing this, Kobayashi kept persuading the two division commanders to abandon the main infantry troops and evacuate first with the cavalry regiment, but Nakamura Tanichi and Igo Masaichi disagreed.  Hearing this, Nakamuraya shook his head again and said: "As the division commander of the 18th Division, I can never leave thousands of Kurume soldiers to escape alone. Besides, they are still the main force that we rely on to continue. If  If they no longer exist, Kyushu Island will be easily captured by the Chinese. What can we do to fight against the Chinese for a long time?" Igo Masaichi remained silent. Nakamura Yaichi was right. They all understood that if they were thrown away,  Without the main force and retreating with only the highly mobile cavalry regiment, they could all successfully escape back to Kurume and Kumamoto.  But with the loss of more than 20,000 active troops, even if they go back, they will not be able to raise enough troops to withstand the offensive of the Northeast Frontier Army in a short period of time.  Not to mention that recruiting retired personnel cannot be completed in a day or two, but after these retired personnel are re-recruited and assembled, they have not fought in a war for two to three years or even more, and they no longer have experienced combat force backbones to lead them.  How much more fighting power can be exerted?  Facing the elite troops of the Northeast Army who are like wolves and tigers and have experienced hundreds of battles, they will probably be devoured to the point of leaving no bones and dregs. They are simply a bunch of mobs.  Major General Kobayashi was very anxious when he saw this, and said quickly: "Two generals, the Chinese have a saying that if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you can go back, there will be someone who can maintain the overall situation of the Ryume Military Region and the Kumamoto Military Region. Then we Kyushu  There is still hope for the island's war against China. Please put the overall situation first! " "Mr. Xiaolin is right. The two generals ask you to retreat first. I and Mr. Xiaolin will stay to command the troops to disperse and break out immediately. Maybe we can still  If you have a chance to break out," Yungo Yungo, the chief of staff of the 18th Division, also encouraged him.  Under the constant persuasion of several subordinates, Nakamura Tanichi and Igo were attracted to each other. Although it was not a glorious thing to leave the main force and escape, it would also be extremely detrimental to the development of the war situation in the future.  But in the final analysis, these two old devils are still lucky. They don't want to die. To reach their position, they have already scorned the spirit of bushido. It is a method used by the empire's top officials and the emperor to brainwash ordinary officers and soldiers.  If they have no choice but to do so, of course they want to live.  Now that the two chiefs of staff took the lead and gave them enough excuses and reasons, the two immediately changed their attention.  Igo Masaichi just grabbed the shoulders of Chief of Staff Kobayashi and said with a heavy face and tears in his eyes: "Kobayashi-kun, for the future of the empire and for the sake of the Yamato people of Kyushu Island, you must come back alive." "  Please rest assured, general. I will do my best to lead the troops to break through the encirclement. If I fail, I will have the opportunity in the future.See you at Yasukuni Shrine!  "Major General Xiao Lin said rather tragically. "Two generals, it's almost dawn. Without further ado, you should leave as soon as possible.  "Hakuga Yungo looked up at the gray sky and urged hurriedly. "Take care, Baiga-kun!  "Nakamura Yaichi looked at the subordinates who got along day and night and said. "General, take care.  "Hakuhe Yungo lowered his head and said. After Yiwu got on his horse, Nakamuraya waved his whip one by one and ran forward with several guards. (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 432: Pay equal attention to kindness and power

    Tianchuan City, after several hours of long journey, Zhang Xinghan and others finally arrived at Tianchuan City by car with the main force.  And he stationed at the headquarters that Xing Zhan had sent for him early in the morning.  Entering the headquarters, he saw that Xing Zhanqing had arranged everything in an orderly manner. Zhang Xinghan took the kettle handed to him by a remaining guard and was about to drink it to quench his thirst.  Suddenly, he saw Guo Zhong running in happily with a message in his hand. As soon as he saw Zhang Xinghan, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Maintain, good news, good news!" "What good news?" Zhang Xinghan put down the kettle and was curious.  asked.  "Take a look, this is the commendation order and letter of appointment sent to you by all the members of the Military Commission of the Nanjing National Government who have just been transferred from Busan by the Chief of Staff!" Guo Zhong handed the message to Zhang Xinghan with a look of joy.  (Chairman Chiang did not know that Zhang Xinghan had personally led his troops to conquer Kyushu Island, so the telegram was sent to Busan) Zhang Xinghan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and did not pick up the telegram. Wang Yizhe, who was next to him, reached out to take it and read: "  I am pleased to hear that the general led his army in the Eastern Expedition, defeated the Japanese invaders in the East China Sea, and achieved countless gains. This battle was truly a unique victory that enhanced our country's prestige. When the news came out, the whole country was excited. In order to commend the general for his unparalleled military exploits, after discussion and decision by the Military Committee, hereby  The general will be appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China and the vice-chairman of the National Military Commission from now on, and will continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. I hope the general will continue his efforts and make new contributions to the country and the nation!" After reading, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and others!  They looked at each other with joy, and stood up and said in unison: "Congratulations to the general manager on your promotion!" Zhang Xinghan was also a little surprised. After the victory message was sent, he thought that the Nationalist Government might give him some insignificant awards.  But what I didn’t expect was that Chairman Chiang would be so generous and gave himself the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, as well as the deputy chairman of the Military Commission.  “These two are real positions of real power, and looking at the whole of China, except for Bald Jiang.  He, Chairman Zhang, is the biggest.  You must know that Zhang Xinghan is only 27 years old this year. In terms of age and strength, Zhang Xinghan is definitely better than Zhang Hanqing, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force.  After a brief surprise, Zhang Xinghan quickly calmed down and told Guo Zhong: "Call back the Chief of Staff immediately and tell him to reply to Chairman Chiang and other members of the Military Commission in my name. I would like to express my gratitude in private.  Keep them under control, we will take care of other matters after I return to China." "Yes." Guo Zhong responded and quickly turned around and left.  After watching Guo Zhong leave, Zhang Xinghan turned to ask Zhao Zhenfan: "Brother Guoping, how is the war on the front line?" "Oh. I just had a phone call with Xing Zhanqing. The whereabouts of the main force of the Japanese army have always been under our surveillance. No  If something unexpected happened, Xing Zhanqing also led the tank troops to eat up a Japanese cavalry regiment, and gained a lot," Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan turned around and asked Wang Yizhe: "Have all the troops set off?" "They have all set off. Time is running out, and all the troops have not rested. I hurriedly replenished some food and continued to catch up along the road. It is estimated that they will catch up soon.  Xing Zhanqing and the others," Wang Yizhe replied hurriedly.  "Very good. As long as the main forces of the enemy's 6th and 18th Divisions are eaten, there will be no threatening resistance on the entire Kyushu Island. We must strive to occupy all of Kyushu Island before July and end the war. Before the end of the year  Two to three air force bases and two naval port bases will be built on the island," Zhang Xinghan nodded happily.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, a communications soldier suddenly ran in in a hurry and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "General seat."  Although the Pioneer Battalion fought hard, it was unable to stop the enemy's breakout due to insufficient strength. At present, the enemy has dispersed and retreated. Commander Xing requested to immediately change the combat plan and divide the troops to pursue.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the Japanese had realized that the crisis was quietly approaching, so they gave it a try to the death.  This way, the Japanese were fooled. After all, bluffing cannot always frighten the Japanese.  Fortunately, the sky is basically bright now.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment and then ordered the communication soldier: "You immediately call back to Xing Zhanqing and order the tank regiments, paratrooper brigade and vanguard battalion to immediately disperse and pursue. At all costs, we must pursue and eliminate the main force of the Japanese army as much as possible. We must not give  The opportunity for them to return to the army. In addition, in my name, I quickly ordered the air force flying regiments to take off immediately to join the war." "Yes."The communications soldier responded with a bang and hurriedly turned around to accept the order. More than 30 kilometers away, the sky was still hazy and gray at this time, but the road and the wilderness on both sides were already boiling. There were fierce exchanges of fire everywhere.  , countless Japanese soldiers ran rampant like a herd of frightened zebras, trying to escape the pursuit and interception of the wolves. The paratrooper brigade and the more than two thousand officers and soldiers of the reorganized 6th Division's Pioneer Battalion fired desperately and died under their firepower.  The number of Japanese soldiers increased in droves, but they still could not stop all the fleeing Japanese soldiers. Fortunately, Xing Zhanqing led three tank regiments and nearly 300 No. 4 tanks and chariots arrived in time.  " Tank guns fired one after another in vain, and the shells roared into the crowd of Japanese soldiers with dazzling flames, and a violent explosion occurred immediately. Dozens of Japanese soldiers were blown into the sky, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns also opened fire.  A dense rain of bullets poured down like water, and countless Japanese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. The already panicked Japanese army was suddenly crushed and fired by the tank army, and fell into an even more chaotic situation. At first, it was somewhat organized.  The breakout quickly turned into separate battles. Without unified and effective command, the breakout of more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers quickly turned into a rout.  Reinforcements from the main infantry regiment arrived first, and by now they were at an advantage over the Japanese. This extremely chaotic pursuit soon developed into an unexpected situation. Not only did the Japanese run into chaos, but the Northeast Frontier Defense Force also ran into chaos.  The reorganized 6th Division, three tank regiments and the paratrooper brigade also followed suit. The troops were basically organized into companies, platoons or even squads, and they continued to hunt down all the Japanese troops they could see. Tens of thousands of the main force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force arrived.  At that time, the entire battlefield situation was already in chaos. After Zhang Xinghan learned about it, he immediately ordered the 3rd Division to march eastward and capture the Kunisaki Peninsula. The 4th Division marched south along the Tagawa River and captured the Hita area, preparing a large force to attack Kumamoto and Nagasaki.  To clear the way, Zhang Xinghan ordered the 9th Division to reorganize the 6th Division and the 107th Division to stay in the Kanmon Strait and Kitakyushu Island to prepare for this chaotic pursuit.  With the addition of the air force, the battle soon came to an end. The main forces of the Japanese 6th Division and the 18th Division were basically wiped out by evening. Occasionally, some Japanese troops at the squad level were lucky enough not to be wiped out, and they were also in danger of being destroyed by the Northeast.  The border guards were in a dangerous situation as they continued to pursue, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. In Tianchuan City, after listening to Zhao Zhenfan's report, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "At this point, the Japanese regular army on Kyushu Island has been completely wiped out. We just have to wait.  When the third batch of landing troops arrives, they will be able to sweep the entire island.  " "Chief Commander, now we have more than 120,000 troops in total. Isn't that enough to capture the entire Kyushu Island?"  "Wang Yizhe asked in confusion. Zhang Xinghan said: "It is easy to capture the entire island, but to truly control the entire Kyushu Island, the 120,000 troops cannot do it right now. There are nearly 10 million Japanese on Kyushu Island. Even if we  After eliminating their regular armies, they can only occupy some important large and medium-sized cities along roads and railways, but they still have no time to take care of the vast remote areas far away from roads and railway lines.  Once that happens, we are likely to fall into a sea of ??Japanese civilians. After all, there are tens of millions of them. We can't kill all the Japanese on the island, right?  " "What the President said is that although the Japanese committed all kinds of evil on our land by burning, killing, looting, etc., they were barbaric acts that were beyond human morality and were no different from animals. Our Chinese army must not be the same as them.  "Zhao Zhenfan nodded. "So, this is why I want to kill their main regular resistance force at all costs. As long as they are eliminated, no matter how many Japanese there are on Kyushu Island, they will not be able to make any big waves.  And once these more than 30,000 young Japanese with combat experience are withdrawn, the Japanese will be able to use them as the basis to expand the resistance force dozens of times.  After killing their core resistance force, we mobilized an absolutely superior force to land on the entire island, wipe out any organization or individual who dares to compete with our Chinese army, and completely defeat the Japanese people's will to resist on the island. Then they will be like a herd of sheep in the future.  Obey our jurisdiction honestly.  Brother Guoping is right, the Japanese are inferior to beasts, and we cannot be the same as them, but if someone dares to challenge the power of our Chinese military, we don't mind giving them some punishment.  From now on, in all areas occupied by our army, if one person participates in resisting our Chinese army, his whole family will be killed. If more than ten people in a village join the resistance organization, the entire village will be killed.  If you are willing to submit to the jurisdiction of our Chinese army, everything will continue as usual and our army cannot disturb you.?, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those who disobey orders will be severely punished.  " Zhang Xinghan said. Wang Yizhe nodded with deep approval and said: "We pay equal attention to kindness and power, and the president is wise.  " "Of course, this is only a preliminary wartime jurisdiction measure. We will discuss in detail how to govern Kyushu Island and resolve various crises that may arise on the island after the war is over.  " Zhang Xinghan added. (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 433: Those who resist die

    At nine o'clock that night, the Tokyo Cabinet Base Camp Headquarters.  Saito Minoru put down the message in his hand with a solemn expression, lowered his head and observed a moment of silence.  Not long ago, the base camp received a message from Okamura Neiji last night. After a day of confirmation, Okamura Neiji and the dozens of accompanying guards were confirmed to have been killed in an attack and died for the country.  This is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Japanese, because Saito Minoru has received several emergency messages from the 6th and 18th Divisions, and knows that the situation on Kyushu Island has become irreversible.  Saito Minoru was in an extremely bad mood at this time. The loss of Kyushu Island, the total loss of the naval combined fleet and the aviation force all made him, the cabinet prime minister, unable to escape the blame.  He knew in his heart that his position as Prime Minister of the Cabinet had come to an end.  At this time, Itagaki Seishiro also returned from the front line, and Ishihara Kanji took an American ship to the West to seek international support for the empire.  After thinking for a while, Saito Minoru took out his pen and started writing his resignation statement.  Two days later, Japanese Prime Minister Minoru Saito officially resigned and apologized to the people across the country. The whole country in Japan was in an uproar when they learned that Kyushu Island had fallen.  In the past two days, the war on Kyushu Island has also undergone new changes. The 6th, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force have advanced to the line between Kunisaki Peninsula and Fukuoka. The entire Kyushu Island headquarters has basically been destroyed.  The Northeastern Army occupied it.  The commander of the Japanese 18th Division, Nakamura Yaichi, led his troops to evacuate to Kumamoto in a hurry. In the area occupied by the Japanese army, Japanese people continued to flee southward with their families and their families.  Along the way, some Japanese soldiers were mixed among the evacuating people, which led to a lot of bombing by the Northeast Air Force. Thousands of Japanese were killed every day.  Inoue Village is located 30 kilometers south of Fukuoka. The village is not too big, with about three to four hundred people.  Because our own army was destroyed too quickly, by the time a vanguard unit of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army arrived here to chase the Japanese and retreat, it was already too late for the Japanese civilians in the village to escape.  Dozens of young people in the village picked up knives, guns, sticks and other items and stood guard at the entrance of the village, hoping to prevent the Northeastern Army, which was watching eagerly from outside, from entering the village.  At this time, the Northeastern Army outside the village had about a company of troops. They were an ordinary company affiliated with a certain regiment of the reorganized 6th Division.  Since landing on the Toga River.  They have fought against the Japanese dozens of times, and have killed far more Japanese than a squadron along the way.  Many company officers and soldiers have already become jealous. Although there are military orders from above, they are not allowed to disturb the people for no reason, let alone kill innocent civilians.  But the actions of dozens of Japanese young people now give them a good opportunity to vent their violent and violent anger.  A second lieutenant platoon leader wearing a steel helmet with half-exposed arms was holding an MP38 submachine gun in one hand while looking at the dozens of Japanese armed with sticks at the entrance of the village.  While saying to his commander: "Company commander, what should I do?" The captain and the company commander stared at the dozens of Japanese at the entrance of the village with dagger-like eyes, like a bloodthirsty wolf staring at its prey, showing a sinister smile.  He said: "What does the military order from above say? If one person resists, kill the whole family. How many people will be killed if ten people resist?" A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of the second lieutenant platoon leader's mouth: "Kill the whole village." "Then these little ones in front of you will kill you."  Does Japan's behavior count as resistance?" the captain said meaningfully.  The second lieutenant platoon leader deliberately counted. These little Japanese were armed with sharp weapons and intended to murder our Northeastern Border Guards soldiers. There were enough people in the platoon. According to the military order, we must give them the most severe punishment, which is to kill everyone in this village.  Serve as a warning!  " The captain and company commander pulled out a sergeant's sword that he had captured and waved it forward slowly: "The Japanese will kill our soldiers without mercy in accordance with military orders!  Fire!  " More than a dozen mg34 general-purpose machine guns that had been prepared for a long time immediately opened fire one after another, tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzles, and a dense rain of bullets instantly poured onto the dozens of trembling Japanese. "Ah, ah  ," screams rang out one after another, and after a burst of shooting, there was no Japanese standing at the entrance of the village. Most of them were killed on the spot, and only three or four were lucky enough to survive, lying in a pool of blood, moaning in pain. Captain Company Commander  With a sudden wave of his hand, more than a hundred riflemen behind him whipped out their sharp bayonets and mounted them, then swarmed toward the entrance of the village under the leadership of three second lieutenant platoon leaders. A few Japanese who were seriously injured but not dead were the first to be driven away.  The Northeastern Army rifleman who arrived stabbed his heart a few times with his bayonet, and was soon overwhelmed by the crowd. There was a chaotic sound in the village, except for a dozen or so Northeastern border guards.  Machine guns blocked the entrances and exits of the village, and the rest were in small groups carrying rifles with bayonets and rifles.?Machine guns started a wanton search and killing in the village.  Three Northeastern Army infantrymen came to a house with rifles in hand. When they saw the door was closed, one of them waved his hand.  The two companions stepped forward at the same time and kicked hard at the door. The wooden far door was kicked open with a bang.  The three men rushed in with rifles like wolves and tigers, and two old Japanese men in their fifties and sixties hit them with wooden sticks.  A cruel sneer appeared at the corners of the mouths of the three Northeastern soldiers, and they stabbed with rifles. With a pop, three sharp bayonets pierced the bodies of the two old Japanese. Before the wooden sticks they held high fell, the three bayonets suddenly  Pulling it out, the two turned into two cold corpses.  Several women's frightened screams came from the main hall.  The three Northeastern soldiers looked at each other and saw the tacit lust in their eyes, so they broke open the door and rushed in.  There are three Japanese women in kimonos in the house, one is in her fifties, and the other two are young women in their twenties and thirties.  The three of them cuddled together, looking at the three unkind Chinese soldiers with fear in their eyes. From the lewd smiles on their faces, the old woman seemed to understand what they were going to do, and subconsciously hugged the two men in her arms tightly.  a young daughter.  "Fourth child, third child, take these two girls away first." The leader of the Northeast Army said with a lustful look in his eyes.  “Boss, you’re not going to fall in love with this old guy, are you?” A Northeastern soldier looked at the old woman and then at his companion in surprise.  "Get out of here, you mother. I don't have that strong taste. This old thing needs to be dealt with. I'll make it easy for you two first, and I'll be there soon!" said the leader of the Northeast Army.  The other two men no longer hesitated, smiled lewdly and stepped forward to pull the two young Japanese women from the old woman's arms. The two Japanese women screamed in horror.  Just as the old woman was about to organize, the leading Northeast Army kicked her to the ground. The rifle in her hand pierced her heart. When she pulled out the bayonet, blood splashed all over his face.  After getting rid of the old woman, the Northeastern Army licked the blood on the bayonet with a ferocious expression, thrust the bayonet into the ground, turned around and suddenly fell to his knees, gritting his teeth and said: "Father, mother, sister, I have avenged you.  "The little Japanese killed my parents and insulted my sister. Today I will make them pay with blood." The Northeast Army's name is Zhao Dahu, who is from Fushun, Fengtian Province. Three years ago, the Japanese launched the September 18th Incident and then captured the entire three northeastern provinces.  Zhao Dahu's parents and relatives, as well as more than 200 people in the village, were all brutally murdered by the Japanese.  Zhao Dahu will never forget the bloody hell scene in the village. Some heads were hung upside down on the trees at the head of the village, including adults and children.  No woman in the village, old or young, was spared. They were all raped and killed by the Japanese, including my own sister.  Full of hatred, Zhao Dahu joined the army. From the moment he joined the army, he never thought about revenge for his relatives and fellow villagers.  Now that the troops have reached the Japanese mainland, Zhao Dahu's hatred and anger can finally be vented.  In fact, there are many ordinary Northeast Army soldiers like Zhao Dahu who have a bloody feud with the Japanese.  During the Japanese occupation of Northeast China, they committed countless evil deeds, and many relatives of soldiers and elders in their hometowns suffered greatly. It can be said that they are sworn in with the Japanese.  So since landing on Kyushu Island, although Zhang Xinghan issued some necessary military orders to maintain military discipline, privately some soldiers still poured out their hatred and anger on ordinary Japanese.  Rape, burning and killing were common occurrences. Out of hatred for the Japanese, officers in various units generally turned a blind eye to such situations and concealed them.  In fact, this is also a real and cruel war, especially a war carried out with the desire for revenge, which will inevitably be accompanied by brutal massacres, rapes, burnings, killings, and looting.  “Some ordinary Japanese may be innocent, but when their husbands, brothers, and sons put on military uniforms and carried weapons into China to burn, kill, loot, commit adultery and massacre without restraint, today’s situation was destined to happen.  There is an old saying in China: It’s not that there is no retribution, it’s that the time has not come yet, and the natural laws of cause and effect will cycle and remain unchanged forever.  By the time Zhao Dahu walked out with his rifle, the two Japanese girls had their clothes torn to pieces by their companions and were riding on the ground in a wanton attack.  Looking at the dark buttocks of his companions swaying on the two white bodies, Zhao Dahu's eyes suddenly became hot. He walked over and grabbed the two lumps of pepper milk on the chest of one of the Japanese girls and started to rub it wantonly.  Half an hour later, all three of them had finished venting their anger, and two disheveled Japanese women ended their young lives with bayonets.  Wait until?After Dahu and the three of them walked out of the yard after doing the bad thing, the whole village had turned into a purgatory. Many houses were already on fire. Japanese corpses could be seen everywhere on the roads in the village. A thick bloody stench filled the air.  It's everywhere, it's disgusting.  Outside the village, dozens of Japanese who wanted to escape were beaten into pieces by machine gunners who had been waiting for a long time, and they were lying in a mess together.  The captain and company commander walked out of a private house holding his pants in one hand and the official sword in the other.  Zhao Dahu and others quickly stood up and saluted. Zhao Dahu saw that there was still blood dripping on the company commander's sword.  (To be continued.)

    The captain, while fastening his belt, said to Zhao Dahu and the other three: "Damn it, what are you three doing here? Go over there and see if there is anyone alive, let me do it all!" "Yes!  ." Zhao Dahu and the other two men responded quickly and ran forward with their rifles in hand.  ……………… Kumamoto, headquarters of the Japanese 6th Division.  Igo Masato and Nakamura Yaichi sat exhausted on the chairs. The orderlies had already served them food, and the two of them grabbed it without any appearance and started eating and drinking.  After gulping down a few large bowls of rice, the two of them, who were a little choked, picked up their water glasses and drank for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief.  Sitting on the chair, Igo Shogo burped twice, and then said to Nakamuraya: "Nakamura-kun, I didn't expect that we would be in such a mess. Even when we first joined the army, we were not so miserable."  He said with emotion: "Yeah, I didn't expect that you and I would be reduced to this point." Thinking back to the days of sleeping in the open air and being precarious, Nakamura Yaichi felt like crying.  The commander of the general division was reduced to a state of misery that could almost be compared to that of a beggar.  When he thought of the chief of staff and the main force of the division who had worked together for many years and were now completely annihilated by the Chinese, Nakamura Yachi shed a few tears in sadness.  Yiwu Zhenghe saw it in his eyes, and he felt mixed in his heart. He still encouraged and comforted Nakamuraya: "Nakamura-kun, there is no need to be sad. We still have a cavalry regiment in our hands, plus the remaining troops of our division. As long as we  If we can quickly rush to Nagasaki, use the weapons and ammunition stockpiled in the arsenal to expand the troops as much as possible, and then rely on the mountainous areas to persist in resistance, things are still promising. "Unexpectedly, just as Yiwu finished speaking, a remaining communications soldier ran away in a panic.  He came in and saluted the two men and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, a call from Tokyo. General Okamura Neiji crossed the sea two days ago and came to Kyushu Island to command the war. Unfortunately, he encountered a Chinese submarine in the Seto Inland Sea. Several people from Okamura Yingji below  All ten members of his entourage were killed, and no one was spared. In addition, Prime Minister Saito Minoru resigned, and the Saito Cabinet was forced to disband. Tokyo ordered us to continue the self-sufficiency war.  Both Wu Zhenghe and Nakamuraya were shocked when they heard this. The former stood up in disbelief and asked, "Is everything you just said true?" The communications soldier looked up at him with some trembling, and nodded.  Said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have just received the telegram from my humble position. It is indeed from the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters. It should be all true." "General Okamura Neiji is the only senior officer I admire for his tactical command.  His ability and strategic vision are second to none, I didn't expect him to die so cowardly," Yiwu Zhenghe said with some sadness.  Nakamura Yaichi also sat on his chair with a sad face, and said with great frustration: "Is the Japanese Empire really declining? Self-sufficiency, long-term resistance? It's easy to say, there is no foreign aid, no weapons and ammunition. No training, we have to  What's the use of fighting against the Chinese who are armed to the teeth? The command from the General Staff Headquarters has been issued. What else can we do except escape back to Tokyo?  If we successfully escape back to Tokyo, we will probably have to go to court-martial. Of course, besides escaping, we have another option, which is to surrender to the Chinese. In that case, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Yamato nation.  "It will be infamy for thousands of years." Yiwu Zhenghe said helplessly, somewhat mocking himself.  ??????????……………… At Busan Port, the third batch of landing troops also successfully boarded the ship under the command of Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the Northeast Frontier Army, and began to set off towards Kyushu Island.  With the addition of this batch, more than 180,000 Northeastern troops gathered at Busan Port have marched to Kyushu Island.  Within the next week, all 600,000 troops will land.  At the same time, all over the country.  In particular, major cities in the Northeast Border Guard Base Area held nationwide celebrations on an astonishing scale.  When the news that hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Border Guard troops marched eastward to conquer Japan and achieved a huge victory came back to China, the 40 million soldiers and civilians celebrated nationwide and the crowds were excited.  Peking, Tianjin.  Baoding, Cangzhou, Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian and other places were crowded with people, and the event was unprecedented.  Countless Chinese people poured into the streets and shouted, “Long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Long live the Northeast Frontier Defense Force,” to vent their unparalleled excitement and excitement.  Zhang Xinghan’s photos and portraits have been posted all over the streets of major cities, and everyone knows about it.  Zhang Xinghan’s personal reputation reached its peak at this time, and he has become the greatest hero of the Chinese nation.It has only been a few years since the Chinese people, who have been bullied by foreign enemies, finally said with pride that in major cities, those foreigners no longer dare to easily bully the Chinese people.  People have an unprecedented sense of pride and national identity.  The news that the Japanese naval combined fleet was completely wiped out and that the Northeastern Frontier Force attacked Kyushu Island not only excited the Chinese nation, but also shocked the Western world.  The great powers of various countries were deeply shocked. China, which had always been considered poor and backward in their eyes, actually broke out with such amazing fighting power. Japan, which has always been evaluated as the strongest country in Asia, they are proud of and have also made the rest of the world  The powerful naval fleet that all countries feared was completely annihilated by poor and backward China.  This news is so shocking to the Western powers that they would rather believe in the resurrection of Satan than believe that this is true.  “But the information sent back by their intelligence personnel and agencies across Asia all confirm that this is indeed true.  The Russians, who have been busy participating in European affairs and trying to increase their voice and international status in Europe, were also shocked. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? sdl have not taken the weak Northeastern Border Force seriously. Even though his own Far East Group Army was defeated twice at the hands of Zhang Xinghan, s ? ? ? ? ? ? did not take it too seriously.  Because his strategic focus and main attention are on Europe, not Northeast Asia, which is thousands of miles away from the Soviet Union.  In his opinion, as long as the Soviets gain a foothold in Europe and turn around and change hands, they can destroy Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Border Defense Force. The weak Northeastern Border Defense Force will inevitably be submerged in the torrent of Soviet armor.  But the development of things was far beyond SDL's expectation. The Northeastern Border Guards, who had always been weak and vulnerable in his mind, actually attacked the Japanese mainland?  We do not dare to underestimate Japan SDL, because the impact of the Russo-Japanese War has not yet dissipated. Although this country is small, its military strength cannot be underestimated.  While in shock, SDL received the report, and the Japanese ambassador in Moscow asked for a meeting. SDL was different from the past and ordered his subordinates to arrange a meeting immediately.  At the same time, the British, who had always been at odds with the Japanese, also received the Japanese ambassador's request for an audience, and France and Germany were no exception.  The Japanese government’s foreign policy is progressing steadily, and the outcome of the negotiations is unknown for the time being.  A week later, the main force of more than 400,000 Northeast Frontier Army troops plus the navy and air force, totaling more than 600,000 troops, all landed on Kyushu Island.  The first air force base located near Kitakyushu Island City broke ground a few days ago and began repairs.  The navy, in cooperation with the air force and submarine forces, began to carry out non-stop air raids and strikes on port terminals, factories, and military facilities in the coastal areas of Honshu Island, Japan.  It also blocked the Japanese foreign trade and fisheries. Any Japanese ship flying the plaster flag was attacked by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's sea, air and underwater firepower.  For a time, Japan was in a precarious situation. Fisheries could not be developed, foreign trade could not be launched, and maritime connections with Taiwan, Ryukyu and other places were also cut off.  With the landing of more than 400,000 main army troops, Zhang Xinghan also issued an order to completely capture the entire Kyushu Island and wipe out all resistance forces on the island.  More than 400,000 troops launched a fierce attack on the central and southern areas of Kyushu Island in dozens of groups.  The more than 20,000 resistance troops hastily formed by the commander of the 18th Division, Nakamura Yaichi, and the commander of the 6th Division, Masaichi Igo, were easily defeated.  Except for a few who fled into the mountains and vast rural areas, most of them were basically wiped out.  On July 19, the 24th year of the Republic of China, the Northeast Frontier Defense Army invaded Kumamoto, and on the 24th, Nagasaki was captured.  At the same time, Sasebo, Takeo and other places were also captured by the Northeastern Border Guards.  At the end of July, the reorganized 6th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, with the cooperation of the paratrooper brigade, captured Kagoshima, the southernmost tip of Kyushu Island.  So far, the large-scale war on Kyushu Island has basically ended.  On August 3, with the cooperation of the navy, Zhang Xinghan sent two reorganized divisions to attack the affiliated islands around Kyushu Island from the east and west directions for half a month, including Kagoshima, Tanegashima, and Mage Island.  Dozens of islands including Iwo Jima, Takeshima, Yakushima, Kuroshima, Kuchi Nagabu Island, and the Goto Islands in the west were all captured by the Northeastern Frontier Force.  The weak resistance on the island was completely destroyed.  At this point, the waters near Kyushu Island, except for the farther Naha Island (i.e., the Ryukyu Islands), have all been included in China's territory.  In order to maintain stability on Kyushu Island, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili discussed and decided to temporarily station troops on Kyushu Island and nearby islands.  August 15th, Zhang XingThe Han Dynasty appointed Wang Yizhe as the commander-in-chief of the occupying forces on Kyushu Island, and he, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others took a plane back to China.  At this point, the battle to conquer Japan came to an end.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan got off the plane, he received an urgent tip from Shen Xingye's Secrecy Bureau. Knowing that the situation was urgent, Zhang Xinghan didn't even attend the celebration banquet prepared by Huang Xiansheng and others, and flew directly back to Jilin, his base camp.  At the airport, Director of the Security Bureau Shen Xingye had already arranged for a vehicle to wait for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming back, Shen Xingye didn't say much, opened the car door and asked Zhang Xinghan and others to get in the car, and the group went straight to the base camp headquarters.  (To be continued.)

    In the car, Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye, who was sitting in the front passenger seat: "Yizhi, where is this person now?" "He is waiting at our headquarters. I told him in my humble position that you are going to Busan, Goryeo to command the troops in combat."  Yes, this guy has been staying at our headquarters and said that he will wait until you come back no matter what." Shen Xingye turned around and replied.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said to Jiang Baili next to him: "Chief of Staff, would you like to have one?" He rolled the window open a little.  Jiang Baili smiled and shook his head and said: "No, smoking and alcohol are harmful to the body, so you should smoke less." Zhang Xinghan smiled and did not comment, but asked: "What do you think the purpose of this visit to Nanjing is?" "  It's hard to guess the details, but there are only two possibilities. First, to win over you, and secondly, to win over you. "Jiang Baili said with a smile, "Let's see it after we meet." "Huh?"  Zhang Xinghan looked at Jiang Baili with a cigarette in his mouth, then showed a look of surprise and laughed.  "Then let's go meet the special envoy from Nanjing." The car drove quickly into Jilin City and arrived outside the headquarters after more than a month's absence.  As soon as the car stopped, guards came forward to help open the door. Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili got out of the car. Several guards quickly straightened their bodies and saluted: "Mr. seat, please take your seat!" Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly to them, and then talked to them.  Shen Xingye and others entered the courtyard.  After entering the courtyard, Shen Yizhi said: "Chief, you go to the conference room first. I will notify the special envoy right away." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to signal him to leave, and he, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and others walked straight towards the conference room.  As soon as he sat down in the conference room, Zhang Xinghan quickly sat down on the main seat and said, "I really feel like I'm going home. It's better to go home. I'm almost sick after staying on Kyushu Island." "  "I feel homesick," Zhao Zhenfan said jokingly.  While they were talking, Shen Xingye's voice came from outside: "Report, the Nanjing special envoy has arrived!" Hearing this, the three Zhang Xinghan looked at each other and stood up one after another. The former said: "Invitation!" Although Zhang Xinghan's current status  .  There is absolutely no need to stand up, but you still need to be polite, especially if you don't know the purpose of the person's arrival. There is no need to act like an emperor.  ??The person who followed Shen Xingye in was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a suit and leather shoes. He had a middle-parted haircut that was very popular in this era, and his facial features were not exactly straight.  But it's still passable, and it's a little different from the traitor faces that often appear on TV.  But Zhang Xinghan didn’t like this person’s eyes very much. The first impression was not good. He felt that he was a person with a slippery tone and full of bad intentions.  Shen Xingye pointed his hand and introduced: "Special Envoy Wang, this is our Commander-in-Chief." The special envoy named Wang quickly nodded with a charming smile on his face and said: "I have seen it, I have seen it, I have seen Mr. Zhang in the newspaper.  Commander's photo." Finished.  He took two steps forward, bent slightly and said flatteringly to Zhang Xinghan: "I, Wang Dongcheng, serve as a counselor for the Foreign Affairs Office of the Executive Yuan of the National Government and have met Commander-in-Chief Zhang." Zhang Xinghan looked at the man in front of him and suddenly said with a hearty smile:  "Counsel Wang, hello, hello." He said and extended his hand in a friendly manner.  Wang Dongcheng obviously didn't expect Zhang Xinghan's enthusiasm. His expression was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and quickly held Zhang Xinghan's hand with both hands and said excitedly: "Hello, general. Hello, general." After the greetings, Zhang Xinghan invited Wang Dongcheng to sit down.  Afterwards, he asked straight to the point: "I wonder why Counselor Wang came all the way to the Northeast to find me?" Wang Dongcheng looked at Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan who were sitting opposite, as if he was hesitant to speak.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Xinghan said: "These two are my good brothers, one is my chief of staff, and the other is my group army commander. If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be shy." Wang Dongcheng did not hesitate to receive Zhang Xinghan's answer.  Dare to delay, he immediately said seriously: "To be honest, I am following the instructions of Mr. Wang Zhaoming, President of the Executive Yuan. I came to discuss some important matters with Commander-in-Chief Zhang." "Who? Wang Zhaoming? That Wang Zhaoming?" Zhang Xinghan also asked.  I really didn't know that Wang Jingwei, the great traitor in history, was Wang Zhaoming, so after hearing this, I immediately looked at Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan in confusion.  Zhang Xinghan’s reaction immediately made Wang Dongcheng embarrassed. At the same time, he was also a little angry. He thought that Zhang Xinghan, as the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Army, Navy and Air Force, didn’t even know who the President of the Executive Yuan was.?Isn’t this nonsense?  Who believes it? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You little niu, I will definitely tell Mr. Wang later, just wait until you can’t eat anymore and walk around.  As a confidant of the traitor Wang, in his opinion, no one in the entire Republic of China dared not be so disrespectful to Mr. Wang.  In fact, before Wang Jingwei betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor, he did have a very high personal prestige and reputation within the Kuomintang. As mentioned earlier, his influence was so great that even Chairman Chiang, who had always been quick to eliminate him, had to be wary of the three.  Otherwise, before Wang Jingwei committed treason, it would be absolutely easy to assassinate Wang Jingwei with the strength of Chairman Chiang in history.  Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan were also a little surprised by Zhang Xinghan's performance. They looked at each other and looked at Zhang Xinghan. They saw that there was no joking in his eyes. It seemed that he really didn't know who Wang Zhaoming was.  Not wanting to think about how Zhang Xinghan didn't know Wang Zhaoming, Jiang Baili quickly reminded him in a low voice: "General Manager, Wang Zhaoming is also called Wang Jingwei, but Jingwei is his pen name. His real name is indeed Wang Zhaoming, and he is the current Executive Yuan of the National Government.  "Chief" "Afraid that Zhang Xinghan would not understand the power of the Executive Yuan, Jiang Baili gave a simple example, that is, in the current National Government, Chairman Chiang is in charge of the army, and Wang Jingwei, who is the president of the Executive Yuan, is in charge of the government.  The Executive Yuan has 10 ministries under its jurisdiction: interior affairs, foreign affairs, military affairs, finance, agriculture and mining, industry and commerce, education, transportation, railways, and health.  This shows that Wang Jingwei has great power, which is basically the same as the zongli of later generations.  However, Zhang Xinghan obviously didn't listen to Jiang Baili's subsequent explanation. His face quickly turned cold and he said in a bad tone: "Who? Wang Zhaoming is Wang Jingwei?" Jiang Baili didn't know why and nodded: "Yes, it's Wang Jingwei." "Damn it.  , What do I have to talk about with him?!" Zhang Xinghan was furious, and he no longer had any good impressions of the special envoy sent by the famous traitor in history. Shen Xingye immediately waved his hand and said: "Send me off.  ” Finished.  He got up and wanted to leave.  When Wang Dongcheng saw Zhang Xinghan's sudden anger, he was startled at first, and then quickly stood up and tried to stop Zhang Xinghan, but Shen Xingye held him down with a sharp hand, and said coldly: "Mr. Wang, you'd better be honest, otherwise  " As he spoke, he put some force on his hands.  Wang Dongcheng suddenly let out a shrill scream and explained with a painful expression: "Director Shen, you misunderstood, I didn't mean any harm, I didn't mean any harm!" Shen Xingye released his strength slightly, but did not let go completely.  If he made any move, Shen Xingye could stop him immediately and kill him.  After the pain subsided, Wang Dongcheng shouted to Zhang Xinghan's back: "General Zhang, you can't do this. Mr. Wang is very sincere in cooperating with you. This time you can be elected as the vice chairman of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force."  Commander, this is all the result of the strong support of Mr. Wang and all his colleagues. Originally, Mr. Wang wanted to give you the rank of Army General, but Chairman Jiang did not agree." Zhang Xinghan stopped after hearing this!  He stopped his steps, turned around and looked directly at Wang Dongcheng, his voice as cold as ice and said: "Counsel Wang, this old boy Wang Jingwei will not help for no reason. I sent you here today just to win me over to cooperate with him and bring down Mr. Jiang. I can.  Let me give you a very clear answer. No matter how unbearable Chairman Chiang is, he is ten times stronger than Wang Jingwei, because in the autumn of the country, he will never betray the country and surrender to the enemy and become a traitor. This is not the case with Mr. Wang.  It’s guaranteed.” Although Zhang Xinghan’s words are unpleasant, history has already proven the advantages and disadvantages of the two. As two people who played a decisive role in China’s destiny during the Republic of China, especially during the Anti-Japanese War.  The choices are vastly different.  Baldy Jiang did not mention other aspects, but he never wavered in at least adhering to the one-China policy. Therefore, even during the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, he and his Huangpu generals did not give up resistance.  Still fighting the most arduous and bloody battle with the invaders.  Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler who is familiar with history. He knows what kind of person Wang Jingwei is. If he has to choose between Chairman Chiang and his traitor Wang, then he will definitely choose the former. No one wants to be with such a person who may treason at any time.  The big traitor who surrendered to the enemy cooperated.  But Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Dongcheng were not. Although Jiang and Zhao still didn't understand why Zhang Xinghan was so tired of Wang Jingwei, they didn't think too much out of their trust and loyalty to Zhang Xinghan. As long as Zhang Xinghan made a decision, no matter what  In this way, they will choose to support him, because they have already been tied to the same chariot with Zhang Xinghan, and they will both prosper and suffer.  What's more, Zhang Xinghan also has a very high personal reputation and personality charm. Whatever he does is not earth-shattering, famous and famous.?Throughout the ages?  At this time, Wang Dongcheng was extremely angry. He was so angry and annoyed that he laughed angrily, forgetting that this was Zhang Xinghan's territory. He pointed at Zhang Xinghan with one hand and sneered: "Okay, okay, Zhang Xinghan, if you have the guts, I will definitely do it."  I will bring your words to Mr. Wang intact, just wait and see!" "Huh? How dare you threaten our chief?" Shen Xingye used force again, almost killing Wang Dongcheng's thin body.  The body is crushed.  Wang Dongcheng once again let out a piercing howl like a slaughtering pig.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop Shen Xingye, came to Wang Dongcheng with a smile and said: "Okay, let Mr. Wang go back and tell Wang Jingwei, I'm waiting for him to see what he can do to me, okay?!" ps: Currently coding today  It’s over 15,000, and I feel like I can still code two chapters. Although I had a stiff neck last night and the rotation of my neck was a problem, my enthusiasm and motivation have not diminished. I hope everyone can vote for some free recommendations.  With encouragement.  Of course, it would be better if you have a few monthly passes. It seems that they are still doubled now, and one ticket counts as two, hehe (To be continued.)

    After Wang Dongcheng left with humiliation and anger, Jiang Baili asked in confusion: "Chief, you seem to be disgusted with Wang Jingwei? In any case, he is now the president of the Executive Yuan, and this person followed Mr. Sun in the revolution in his early years.  Having assassinated the Manchu Regent and having a very high reputation and prestige, the general manager felt that even if the chief minister did not like this person, there was no need to turn against him and offend him. " Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement: "The chief of staff is right.  Moreover, this Wang Jingwei has a pretty good reputation. I heard that after he failed to assassinate the Manchu regent and was imprisoned, he wrote four famous Wujue poems.  Even if I write a hundred poems, I can't erase the traitorous nature in his heart." Zhao Zhenfan and Jiang Baili looked at each other, with shock and helplessness visible in their eyes.  They couldn’t figure out how Zhang Xinghan, who had nothing to do with Wang Jingwei, could be so disgusted with this person.  Jiang Baili recited softly: "Holding a stone will lead to infatuation, and I will be sad for thousands of miles. Flying alone will never tire, and I will be ashamed to chase the seagulls floating on the sea. The colorful purples and reds are difficult to paint from the knowledge. He is so beautiful that he recognizes the blood stains. " Generous Song Yanshi  , Become a prisoner of Chu calmly, and keep your heart and soul alive. The green phosphorescent light will shine on Yantai every night.  No matter how disgusted the president is with this person, and no matter what his character is, it is not difficult to see from these five poems that Wang Zhaoming is definitely a knowledgeable and talented person. "This traitor is so smart.  It's too much, and you think you are doing some fucking curve to save the country. To put it bluntly, isn't it just betraying the country and joining the enemy and becoming a traitor?  Zhang Xinghan secretly ventriloquised in his heart.  "That's all, let's not mention this annoying guy." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand impatiently and asked Shen Xingye: "By the way, Yizhi, didn't you say in the message that there is another important piece of information? What?  Information?" Shen Xingye suddenly replied: "By the way. I was busy meeting the guy just now, and I almost forgot about this matter. It's like this. Miss Alice came from England with some extremely important information.  News. Not long ago, the British Prime Minister met with the Japanese envoy. You must know that the Japanese and the British have been at odds in recent years. In addition, Miss Alice said that the British government is likely to be in conflict with Japan.  They have reached some cooperation, and she is still exploring the details. In addition, according to reliable information, the Russians, the French, the Germans, and other European countries may be negotiating with the Japanese.  Negotiating with the Japanese? What else are the Japanese doing? They are already on the verge of subjugation, so what else can they do to negotiate with the Western powers?" Zhao Zhenfan said in confusion.  "Are you talking about dealing with us?" Jiang Baili, who has been in Japan for many years and is very familiar with the aggressive nature of the Japanese, frowned and guessed.  Zhang Xinghan was quite surprised by Jiang Baili's guess and nodded: "The chief of staff guessed it right. At this juncture, the Japanese have only one option left to ask the Western powers for help." "But. The Western powers would be so stupid.  , to help the Japanese?" Zhao Zhenfan said.  "If it is simply to help the Japanese, it is impossible. Even if all the Japanese are dead, the Western powers will not feel any regret. But if it involves their future interests in China and the power structure of the entire Asia, then there is still  It's possible." Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully.  "What do you mean by the chief executive, Britain, France, Germany and other countries will help the Japanese to go to war with us?" Zhao Zhenfan said in surprise.  Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully: "It is not possible to start a war at the moment, but it is likely to provide great help to the Japanese. For example, funds and various strategic resources can be used by the Japanese to restore their strength and continue to compete with us.  " "If this is the case, it will be really difficult for us. We can attack Japanese ships at sea unscrupulously, thus blocking Japan's foreign trade. But if other Western countries have strong combat capabilities, we cannot do so.  , but right now they don’t have the strength to start a war with the Western powers at the same time,” Jiang Baili said with a worried look.  "It is difficult to do, but it is actually not difficult. As long as we declare war on Japan, we can legitimately block foreign ships from entering Japan as a belligerent country, thus continuing to complete the strategic blockade of Japan." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully  road.  "But to officially start a war with Japan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing National Government needs to come forward. Our words don't count. After all, the Nanjing National Government is the only legal government in China at present." Zhao Zhenfan said with some disappointment, and  Just nowThe Han Dynasty sent away the special envoy of the immediate superior of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  Jiang Baili also had a headache, but the change of situation was so coincidental. Even if he had learned about this relationship earlier, Zhang Xinghan would not have offended Wang Dongcheng.  Even if he is offended, as the chief of staff, he will go to help Yuanyuanchang, so that he will not be unable to step down and become enemies with Wang Zhaoming and others.  However, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and said in a calm but surprising tone: "It seems that the only plan for now is to march south as soon as possible." "Southern march?" Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan were shocked when they heard this.  The latter asked with some uncertainty: "What did the chief say about going south to the Central Plains?" "Not only the Central Plains, but also Jiangnan and East China must be attacked. The ultimate goal is Nanjing City." Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese.  The shock on Zhao Zhenfan’s face was obvious. Although he had already had a hunch that Zhang Xinghan might send his troops south sooner or later as the Northeast Frontier Defense Force became increasingly powerful, he did not expect this day to come so quickly.  As for Jiang Baili, he fell into silence and did not express any opinion on this.  "General Officer, if we go south to the Central Plains, do we need to transfer some troops back from Kyushu Island? After all, most of the main mobile forces we can mobilize now are on Kyushu Island. The recruits recruited from the five northwest provinces and North China are still in training.  I'm afraid it won't be able to form effective combat effectiveness for the time being," Zhao Zhenfan asked.  "No, within half a year, not a single person in the 460,000-strong army on Kyushu Island can move. This will not only help us quickly stabilize the situation on Kyushu Island, but also serve as a strategic force to deter Japan's Honshu Island." Zhang Xinghan said with confidence.  Said: "To attack north of the Yellow River, the Fourth Army has enough troops." That night, Jiang Baili and Zhao Zhenfan were invited to drink at Zhang Xinghan's house.  The two arrived one after another by car, and Zhang Xinghan and his wife Wang Ruoying went to greet them outside the courtyard gate in person.  During the greetings, Zhang Xinghan and his wife could clearly feel that Jiang Baili, who had always been very eager to them, had a somewhat cold attitude today.  Zhang Xinghan saw all this.  Wang Ruoying cooked a sumptuous meal herself with the help of Sister-in-law Zhou and her mother-in-law.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan, Guo Zhong and Shen Yi exchanged cups and gradually became drunk.  Under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Xinghan deliberately took Jiang Baili's hand and said, "Brother Baili, you seem to be very unhappy that our army is going south to the Central Plains?" Zhao Zhenfan, Shen Xingye, and Guo Zhong were all not drunk, so they couldn't help but stop after hearing this.  They were chatting and joking, and the wine table was so quiet for a while that you could hear a pin drop.  Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan had the same worries. They both get drunk without being drunk. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Xinghan, when you and I first met, you told me about the unification of the country.  , it is your ideal to unite with the outside world, to defend the country, to expel the Japanese invaders, and to restore our beautiful mountains and rivers is your pursuit. But why are you attacking your compatriots now? In fact, they were already fighting each other when they marched into the northwest.  The Dian Ying and Ma Jiajun are all black sheep, and they will be destroyed if they are destroyed. But, do you know what it will mean once you attack Shanxi and the Central Plains? That will mean that the 30-year Central Plains War will be repeated, and the scale will be huge.  The situation will be even greater, and more compatriots will die tragically at the hands of their own people. The Chinese nation will once again fall into the flames of war, and 40 million people will live a precarious life in pain and suffering. You may even be beyond redemption.  "The biggest careerist, a warlord through and through." "Yes, I am an ambitious warlord through and through, how about that?" Zhang Xinghan shouted angrily.  Seeing this, Zhao Zhenfan and others hurriedly tried to dissuade them, but Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop them, and looked at Jiang Baili and said: "I am a warlord, but at least I am worthy of my actions. I am at least worthy of the military uniform I am wearing, and worthy of the Central Government."  "People". Do you think I like war? No, I hate this damn war, and I don't want to fight with my compatriots. But look at the warlords in the south since the September 18th Incident.  What? Zhang Hanqing held hundreds of thousands of elites and ignored 30 million fellow villagers in the three eastern provinces. Hundreds of thousands of people were frightened and retreated from the pass without firing a shot. Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu also held hundreds of thousands.  What were they doing when the Northeast fell and Peking and Tianjin were in crisis? They were watching, watching their country being invaded and their compatriots being slaughtered. Chairman Chiang’s Central Army was well-equipped, but he was also frightened.  Like Sun Tzu, he is hiding in the pass and does not dare to use a single soldier. We are several times, or even dozens of times more powerful than me.During the bloody battle between the Japanese army, did you ever see them sending soldiers to rescue them?  Even when we were in the most critical situation, we still hoped to use the Japanese hands to eliminate us.  "These are our compatriots. They are all a bunch of fucking selfish bastards. If I am an ambitious warlord, then they are all bandits, robbers, and sons of bitches."  “I hope to see the country become unified and prosperous, and the Chinese nation become strong again, but to do this, we must rely on the full strength of the 40 million people, not just our corner of the Northeast.  "If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to launch a southern expedition, but they occupy nearly 80% of the country and 90% of the population, but they do nothing at all.  Today’s National Government is extremely corrupt, like a terminally ill dying person. If we want to save it, we must give it a new lease of life.  "(To be continued.)

    "Give him a new life?" Jiang Baili was speechless by Zhang Xinghan's words, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What do you mean by this?" Zhang Xinghan took a deep breath and said: "The Southern Expedition,  Force is not the only solution. As long as the Nationalist government agrees to reorganize, unites warlords from all over the country to form a new Nationalist government, and then fairly elects national leaders, and truly inherits Mr. Sun's last wish, everything is easy to say. Therefore, fighting is only a means to promote a peaceful solution.  , it can also be said that whether the war can be avoided is entirely in the hands of Chairman Chiang. As for Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu must drive them out of the north of the Yellow River, otherwise there will be no talk of promoting peace. " "  Coalition government?" Jiang Baili was a little surprised.  "Yes, launch a referendum with the participation of 40 million people across the country, so that the people can choose their favorite national leader!" Zhang Xinghan said with some yearning.  Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan with a deep look, and said meaningfully: "The boss is very calculating. With your current personal reputation, if there is a referendum, who else will be your opponent? Isn't this national leader none other than you?  "In the short term, this is indeed the case, but giving the full power of the election to the people can effectively urge the ruler to do things for the country and the nation. If he does not do a good job, he will definitely not get the majority.  With the support of the people, it is inevitable to step down," Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili poured a glass of wine silently, drank it all, put down the glass, stood up and turned to leave.  Zhao Zhenfan, Guo Zhong and others wanted to stop him, but Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said: "No, the chief of staff is tired and needs to go back to rest. He will be fine tomorrow." …………… The next morning, Zhang Xinghan and  Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and other Northeast Army generals issued an announcement to compatriots across the country.  The content of the announcement pointed out that the national government agencies at all levels are bloated and officials have serious corruption and bribery, and many other shortcomings.  The above-mentioned generals, headed by Zhang Xinghan, Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Army, Navy and Air Force, strongly demanded that the Nanjing National Government be reorganized.  Important positions at all levels, such as the Chairman of the Military Commission and the President of the Executive Yuan, are elected by popular vote.  The announcement has shocked the whole country. Some peace-loving non-party people are very interested in this proposal proposed by Zhang Xinghan. They are dissatisfied with the current administrative efficiency and other policies of the National Government.  As for the vast majority of the people across the country, they basically support Zhang Xinghan’s proposal and announcement because of Zhang Xinghan’s high prestige and reputation in their hearts.  In response to Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s call, riots broke out in large and medium-sized cities under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force such as Peking and Tianjin.  Of course, there are many people who oppose Zhang Xinghan, that is, the bureaucratic comprador forces, mainly the Jiangsu and Zhejiang plutocrats, whose interests are tied to the same tank as Chairman Chiang.  Everyone knows that due to the outbreak of the September 18th Incident, Chairman Chiang's personal prestige and reputation have been greatly weakened.  “If a referendum were held at this time, Chairman Chiang would definitely lose.  Tangshan, Nanjing, one of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek’s official residences in Nanjing.  Baldy Jiang, who was leaning on a cane, was cursing in the study: "Mother Xipi, this Zhang Xinghan is going to rebel. Reform, what reform? Aren't you revolutionizing my life?" Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and other senior generals of the Central Army were all present.  There was some excitement.  No matter what, Zhang Xinghan is going to compete with the central branch for core power. The senior officials of the National Government present are the same as the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols.  He and Chairman Chiang were both on the same rope, so it was naturally impossible for them to agree to Zhang Xinghan's proposal.  Who knows if they can still guarantee their current status once a popular vote is held?  While Chairman Chiang was still yelling at Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghan left Jiang Baili in charge of Jilin and flew to Peiping himself, preparing to command Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo's First Army to attack Shanxi and Shandong.  He began the first step of his plan to promote peace.  Peiping City, First Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan shook hands cordially with Huang Xiansheng, Liu Jianguo and others and exchanged pleasantries.  Then he cut to the chase and said: "Alarm bell, Jianguo, have you made preparations before the war?" Before arriving, Zhang Xinghan had already sent a secret message to the two of them to secretly gather supplies and troops, ready to go out at any time.  Huang Xiansheng said to Liu Jianguo with a smile: "Jianguo, you should report our preparations to the chief." "Okay." Liu Jianguo stood up and said: "Chief. After this period of expansion, I  The total strength of the group army has been expanded from more than 130,000 to 160,000. Excluding Peking, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan and so on,And the necessary remaining troops in Baoding, Cangzhou and other places.  This time we can mobilize about three infantry divisions and one tank and armored division to participate in the southern expedition, totaling more than 100,000 people.  In terms of ammunition reserves and grain, according to preliminary statistics, it can be used by at least 100,000 troops for two months of campaign, which means it is enough for us to conduct a large battle.  " "A hundred thousand troops, enough ammunition and food for two months.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's enough to deal with these two idiots Yan Laoxi and Han Fuqu.  " "And I have ordered the chief of staff to mobilize ammunition and food outside the customs, which can support our consumption needs for at least a month.  " "Chief Commander, Yan Laoxi has expanded his troops in recent years. The conservative estimate is that the number of troops has exceeded 300,000. Han Fuqu also has at least 100,000 people in his hands. If the two places unite, their strength will be greater.  Not to be underestimated.  Huang Xiansheng reminded in a good voice. "In addition, there are more than 100,000 Central Army troops in Hebei. We only have 100,000 people. Isn't that too few?"  "Liu Jianguo said. Zhang Xinghan smiled secretly in his heart. When the Japanese swept across North China with an army of less than 100,000 people, Seishiro Itagaki, an old devil, defeated Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang's army of hundreds of thousands with less than half a division. Now he has  The Northeast Frontier Defense Force's individual weapons, artillery configuration, tank and tank ratio, and air force far exceed those of the Japanese army at the same time in history. And it has won the hearts of the people. Isn't it easy to conquer North China? But Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo are the first.  The chief and deputy commanders of the group army, it is not good for them to have too many worries. They must be allowed to put aside all their worries and have full trust in their own troops.  The Shandong Army. Let’s not talk about the combat experience of the two armies. As far as equipment is concerned, we also have an absolute advantage. There are planes in the sky, unstoppable tanks and armor groups on the ground, and Katyusha rocket launchers and 150mm.  Heavy artillery group.  Even in terms of individual weapons, we have an overwhelming advantage. Compared with the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Shandong Army, the combat effectiveness of our troops is enough to equal ten.  I am confident that one of our regiments can defeat one division of the Shanxi-Sui Army, or even more. A fully equipped Class A division can defeat at least two enemy armies.  Because the larger the combat unit, the more complete the supporting arms will be, and the more powerful the combat effectiveness will be.  "Zhang Xinghan said impassionedly. Zhang Xinghan personally cheered. Huang Xiansheng and the others' worries were all gone. With their confidence restored, they stepped forward and assured Zhang Xinghan: "The chief is right, we are too timid. Please give the order now.  This time we must let the Jinsui Army and Shandong Army taste the power of our Northeast Army!  " "Very good, come here.  "Zhang Xinghan waved his hands to the two of them and came to the map. Huang Xiansheng and Liu Jianguo walked to the other side of the map hand in hand. Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and raised his head and said to the two of them: "First of all, we need to clarify the ultimate strategic purpose of this operation.  It can also be classified into early-stage goals, mid-term and final goals respectively. Our early-stage strategic purpose is to capture all areas north of the Yellow River and force the Nanjing government to reorganize the National Government and conduct popular elections to achieve our final strategic purpose.  Of course, if we still cannot achieve the final goal after completing the early goals, the war will have to continue. That is the mid-term goal. Cross the Yellow River and capture the area north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River, which is the Central Plains region.  It can be called marching into the Central Plains.  Like the previous goal, our ultimate goal is to force the National Government to agree to reorganization and reform and form a new coalition government.  Let’s first discuss the specific combat plan for the early goals based on the actual situation.  First of all, based on our current position, we have two options for attacking south. The first is to attack Shanxi directly. There are two routes. One is to attack Yanmen Pass through Datong, but to attack Jingxing Pass south from Baoding and attack Taiyuan via Yangquan.  The second option is to go directly from Cangzhou to Dezhou, capture Binzhou and Liaocheng, and then quickly move west to attack Puyang, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places.  From an overall strategic perspective, the Shanxi-Sui Army was surrounded, and then with the cooperation of the Third Army, Shanxi was attacked from the north and the south.  " After the analysis, Zhang Xinghan looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me your opinions.  " "Chief, in terms of the current strength of the Jinsui Army and the Shandong Army, Han Fuqu's Shandong Army is relatively weak. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and and the mountains and mountains in the land of Sanjin serve as natural barriers, which is not conducive to the combat effectiveness of our mechanized troops and air force.  So I think it would be easier to choose the second battle plan, to attack the Shandong Army first, and after wiping out the weaker Shandong Army, it would be easier to concentrate our forces to attack Shanxi together.  "Liu Jianguo pointsAnalyze suggested.  Before Zhang Xinghan expressed his position, Huang Xiansheng continued: "Jianguo's suggestion makes some sense, but it also has loopholes. Have you ever thought about whether if our army attacks Shandong, it will directly trigger the Central Army in Henan and Hebei to join the war, and Jin  The Sui Army may also threaten to send troops out of Shijiazhuang to threaten Pingjin. "It is really possible that once our army attacks Shanxi or Shandong, it is really possible for the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Shandong Army and the Central Army to unite." Liu Jianguo thought about it carefully: "Then.  But it’s hard to do.” (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 438: Night Attack on Nanpi

    "This is indeed a hidden danger. The Jinsui Army in Shanxi is restrained by our 3rd Group Army. I understand that Yan Laoxi does not dare to act rashly. However, the Central Army in the Central Plains region may indeed join forces with Han Fuqu and others to fight against the enemy north of the Yellow River.  Our army begins a decisive battle!" Zhang Xinghan frowned slightly and fell into thought.  "Chief Commander, in my humble opinion, it is safer for us to attack Shanxi. It will only take some time at most." Huang Xiansheng said: "With Yan Laoxi's character, even if he forms an alliance with the Central Army and the Shandong Army,  They will not be allowed to enter Shanxi until the most difficult point. In this way, our army only needs to deal with the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the pressure will be much less. When the situation becomes extremely critical, Yan Xishan will want to call for reinforcements.  I'm afraid it will be too late to enter the Jin Dynasty. " "Your method is safer, but if the Jin-Sui army loses in the battle, they can completely withdraw to Henan, and at most they will force Yan Xishan away." Zhang Xinghan said: "In a few days.  One hundred thousand Shanxi-Sui troops withdraw into Henan and join forces with the Central Plains Army, which will greatly strengthen Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's strength in the Central Plains. Such a result will most likely lead to the failure of our intention to force the Nanjing National Government to agree to reorganization. At the same time,  It will also increase the difficulty of our march into the Central Plains, which will ultimately allow the country to truly unify, concentrate its efforts on foreign affairs, and postpone the ultimate strategic goal of declaring war on Japan indefinitely. "What do you mean by that?" Huang Xiansheng asked.  "Let's do this. I will immediately send electricity to Liu Guodong and Shen Ke's 3rd Group Army and order them to send troops at the same time to cooperate with our attack on Shanxi. Brother Jingzhong, I will leave you two infantry divisions. You start from Baoding. Liu Guodong goes south from Datong. You two armies.  Attack Jingxing Pass and Yanmen Pass respectively. With your attack, the main attention of the Shandong Army and the Shanxi Army will be drawn to the battle in Shanxi. Jianguo and I will lead an infantry division and a tank armored division quietly southward from Cangzhou to Dezhou.  After capturing Liaocheng and Binzhou in one fell swoop, before the Shandong Army could react, they quickly moved westward and captured Puyang, Xinxiang and other places. Of course, after our army captured Liaocheng and Binzhou, it needed the cooperation of the air force to block the Yellow River.  Bridge to prevent the Shandong Army south of the Yellow River from moving north. Of course, based on Han Fuqu's urine, the chance of sending troops north to cross the Yellow River is negligible," Zhang Xinghan decided after thinking for a while.  "You have to personally lead the troops on an expedition?" Although this is not the first time Zhang Xinghan has led a team on an expedition.  Huang Xiansheng was still a little surprised.  "This march south to Shandong is of great significance. Whether we can successfully complete the strategic containment of the Shanxi-Sui Army in Shanxi is directly related to whether our army can achieve its ultimate strategic goal. So I have to lead the team myself." Zhang Xinghan said.  Knowing that Zhang Xinghan had made up his mind, Huang Xiansheng stopped persuading him and told him, "The general manager must be careful." "Don't worry." Zhang Xinghan turned to Liu Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, you lead the team. I'll go first.  I'll wait for you in Cangzhou." "Yes." Liu Jianguo stood up and responded.  ………………………………… Cangzhou, Zhang Xinghan, escorted by the security battalion led by Guo Zhong, took a train and secretly arrived in Cangzhou the next day.  Because Cangzhou at this time was located on the edge of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force’s sphere of influence and could be considered a “border”, the 1st Group Army stationed a reinforcement regiment here with a strength of about 4,000 people.  Cangzhou is located in the eastern part of Hebei Province, adjacent to Tianjin in the north.  To the south is Shandong, and more than 110 kilometers to the south is Dezhou.  That’s the territory of Han Fuqu in Shandong. According to the information from Shen Xingye’s Secret Bureau agents, the Shandong Army has two regiments stationed in Dezhou plus some local security teams, with a total strength of about 3,000 people.  "From Cangzhou to Dezhou, you need to pass through Nanpi, Dongguang, Jingxian and other counties on the way.  Most of these counties are occupied by the central military or local security groups.  There is a division of the Central Army stationed in Hengshui, about 70 kilometers west of Dezhou, with more than 11,000 troops.  With the intelligence provided by the Secrecy Bureau, Zhang Xinghan has a comprehensive understanding of the enemy situation in Hebei.  In his opinion, it is not difficult to capture Dezhou. What is rare is how quietly it was captured, so that the news was not known to the Central Army in Hengshui.  In the rest room prepared for him by the Cangzhou garrison, Zhang Xinghan was looking at the map in deep thought.  Guo Zhong's voice came from behind: "Maintain, let's have dinner first." Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Guo Zhong walking in with food.  "Eat, eat." It was a good dinner, with wine and meat.  Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but twitch his index finger, turned around, walked to the dining table, sat down and asked, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together and have a drink with me." "Okay." Guo Zhong sat down happily and stood up again.  He poured a full cup for Zhang Xinghan and said with a smile: "Commander, let's try it."Come on, this is the authentic Shanxi Xinghua Village specially prepared for you by the leader of the Cangzhou Defense Regiment.  "    "Yeah?  "Zhang Xinghan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and praised savourily: "Yes, the fragrance is pure and sweet, and the sweetness is long. It is indeed a good wine!  "After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Putting down the glass, Guo Zhong quickly poured him another glass. Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand and tore off a large roasted chicken leg with fat overflowing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and ate it happily. "Zhongzi  , come and drink!  "Zhang Xinghan said vaguely as he picked up the wine glass, looking like a green forest hero. Coming from a military background, he naturally doesn't have any pretense of being a literati. He has always liked to eat meat in large quantities, drink from a large bowl, and eat with ease.  When drinking, you have to eat how you feel comfortable. Guo Zhong was also infected by Zhang Xinghan, and gradually let go of his caution and humility. He and Zhang Xinghan let go of their status as superiors and had a good time eating and drinking.   Two days later, Liu Jianguo led an infantry division and a tank armored division to arrive in Cangzhou secretly. Zhang Xinghan did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to advance toward Dezhou. However, before the large force set off, Zhang Xinghan had already sent Guo Zhong to lead it.  Following his guard battalion, he quietly left Cangzhou at night and headed towards Nanpi County, which is closest to Cangzhou. The guard battalion, the paratrooper brigade and the Secret Service are known as the three most elite troops in the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The ones who formed the army are the earliest, and their combat capabilities are even better than those of the latter two. Those who can enter the guard camp are not only iron-blooded veterans who are absolutely loyal to Zhang Xinghan, but also have more stringent requirements than those for special forces. They are not only proficient.  It is no exaggeration to say that the more than 700 officers and soldiers in the guard camp are no less than the battalion commander, and their overall personal quality is no less than that of any country's elite special forces. Nanpi is only six miles away from Cangzhou.  Seventy miles away, Guo Zhong set off with the security battalion in the evening. Due to the availability of cars and tricycles, the security battalion secretly arrived at the northern suburbs of Nanpi in less than two hours. The terrain here has long been protected by the Secrecy Bureau.  The agents made a clear reconnaissance, so Guo Zhong and the others easily found the location where the car was hidden. Since it was night and there was no one outside the city, and the defenders in Nanpi City were very lax, it was not until Guo Zhong led the guard battalion to quietly capture Nanpi.  The city was surrounded on all sides, and no one in the city noticed it. At about ten o'clock in the evening, after setting up blockade firepower points at the four gates outside the city, Guo Zhong ordered his men to fire signal flares. Amidst several piercing screams, three red flares suddenly fired.  After taking off, three flares flashed brightly in the dark night. After about a minute or two, the originally silent south gate suddenly burst into shouts of killing. An adjutant next to Guo Zhong pointed forward and said eagerly: "  You see, there is a fire in the camp, and they are taking action.  "    "Um.  "Guo Zhong nodded, and involuntarily tightened the handle of the MP38 submachine gun in his hand. Inside the city should be several agents of the Secret Bureau, several defenders who they bribed and bribed, and famous local ruffians in Nanpi County. Although inside the city  The defenders did not arrive, only less than 500 people, but the number of internal responders was too small after all. The troops had to be divided into two groups, cutting off the telephone lines in the city to communicate with other places, and seizing the city gates. Is it really possible to succeed?  It’s hard to say. If it fails, then I will have to attack by force. Then the mission of quietly capturing Nanpi, Jingxian, Dongguang and other counties will probably fail as time goes by.  Not long after the shouts of killing rang out in the city, gunshots were heard. Seeing that the city gate had not been opened, Guo Zhong immediately ordered the adjutant: "Adjutant Li, immediately lead an assault team to climb to the top of the city to support the brothers in the city.  quick!  " "Yes," the adjutant quickly took the order and left. In the city, the agent responsible for the response was indeed in trouble. There is actually only one agent lurking in Nanpi County who is actually affiliated with the Secret Bureau, and the others are his downlines and users.  The helper who was bribed with money was contacted through the radio in advance. The first task of the internal agent was to cut off the phone line to prevent the defenders from calling the police and exposing the whereabouts of the Northeastern Border Guards.  His subordinate went to cut the phone line himself, because he knew that as long as the phone line was cut off, even if his subordinates could not open the city gate as promised, it would not be a problem to capture Nanpi City where a group of ragtag men were stationed.  Unfortunately, the development of the matter was guessed by the agent. His subordinate had no combat experience at all. When he led people to sneak attack on the city gate, he was so excited that he didn't know how crazy he was when he was approaching. He actually took the lead in shouting.; It also happened that a rifleman of the defenders on the city gate got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night. Without peeing, the rifleman raised the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand and fired a shot at the line.  Killed with one shot, this shot also quickly alerted the defenders at the south gate. There were only a dozen people and the internal agents, who had lost their leader, were in trouble before they could even open the city gate.  Fortunately, the phone line had been cut off. Guo Zhong outside the city realized that the momentum was wrong and immediately ordered his commando team to start a strong attack.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 439: Nanpi is captured

    ps: For the sake of my hard work in coding, please give me a few free recommendation votes. Thank you (*^__^*) Guo Zhong has deployed 150 troops outside the other three gates of Nanpi.  He personally led the remaining more than 300 people to launch a strong attack from the south gate.  Nanpi County is a little-known town in Hebei. The city wall is not about two or three meters high and is in disrepair. Many places have collapsed to less than two meters due to year-round wind and rain.  The first batch of guards who served as commandos chose those collapsed areas in pairs and started a storm.  The soldiers hung their submachine guns on their bodies, one person stood at the bottom, and the other stepped back a few steps while the other sprinted. They stepped on the hand ladders of their companions and easily climbed to the top of the city.  More than two hundred guards followed suit. The first batch of twenty-five guard battalions were discovered by the defenders on the parapet who were shooting at the city as soon as they reached the top of the city.  But before the defenders had time to fire, twenty-five guards armed with MP38 submachine guns fired violently at them.  "Da da da, da da da," bursts of gunfire rang out, a dense rain of bullets roared, and more than a dozen defenders fell in response.  The soldiers of the guard camp quickly formed groups of three, alternately covering and advancing quickly, and soon they reached the city gate building from both east and west directions at the same time.  After a fierce burst of fire, the dozens of defenders on the city gate had been knocked down. At this time, the following guards had already rushed to the top of the city in a steady stream.  A second lieutenant platoon leader leaned against the crenellated wall and ordered the men behind him: "The first squad will open the city gate immediately, and the second squad will cover here." About a dozen soldiers immediately rushed down the city ladder. At this time  The internal forces trapped in the city were already dead and wounded, and two of them who were timid and afraid of death even threw away their weapons and planned to surrender.  Suddenly, they saw a group of wolf-like soldiers rushing down from the city wall. They knew that reinforcements had arrived, and they quickly shouted: "We are our own people, we are our own people. Don't shoot, but shoot."  A superior soldier kicked him to the ground.  He waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate quickly!" At this moment, a dozen soldiers covering the wall suddenly opened fire one after another. The superior soldier looked at the street and saw that a large number of guards had appeared on the street.  The army was rushing towards the city gate along the street.  The superior soldier immediately shouted: "Lie down and cover the brothers to open the city gate." The soldiers of the guard camp reacted quickly. The two agents who put down their guns and were about to surrender were beaten to death by the dense bullets whizzing at them.  Four guards are struggling to open the city gate.  The superior soldier took off a grenade from his body and threw it tens of meters forward.  After a "boom" explosion, they opened fire one after another, relying on the dead bodies and the wall stacks of the city gate.  With more than a dozen submachine guns on the city wall, they formed a dense and criss-crossing network of firepower, suppressing the defenders who were coming back towards the city gate.  There were screams from the crowd of defenders on the street. With the light produced by the explosion of grenades thrown by the guards from time to time, one could vaguely see the arrival of the defenders.  The rest were fleeing in panic towards the residential alleys on both sides of the street.  As more and more guards rushed to the city, the Northeast Army's firepower became more intense and fierce, leaving the defenders holding old Hanyang-made sleeves unable to fight back.  When several machine gunners set up three mg34 general-purpose machine guns on the city wall, a second lieutenant platoon leader stood up excitedly, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, charge!" "Kill! Charge!" Counting  Hundreds of officers and soldiers from the guard battalion rushed down from the top of the city. The MP38 submachine guns in their hands continued to spit out tongues of fire, pouring large and dense rains of bullets onto the defenders.  The city gate was finally opened, and the superior soldier got up from the ground.  He took a dozen of his comrades to join the charge.  More than a dozen soldiers from the guard battalion held submachine guns and charged while sweeping away. Behind them, there were guards who continued to throw out authentic Shenyang-made hand grenades.  The defenders composed of local security teams had never seen such fierce firepower before. They were quickly defeated and fled into the city in a hurry. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.  The leader in the city was a local tycoon named Zhao Dahai. When gunshots resounded throughout the city, he was awakened from the arms of his concubine Wen Xiang Runyu.  A loyal subordinate had already rushed into the bedroom desperately. Before Zhao Dahai could scold and ask, the subordinate with a ruthless eyebrow said breathlessly: "Head. No, it's not good. The Northeast Army, the Northeast Army has invaded!"  "What? How many people are there from the Northeast Army?" Zhao Dahai said in surprise.  "I don't know, they are everywhere. Their firepower is too strong. A squadron at the south gate has been wiped out by them."??.  Boss, we'd better run away quickly, otherwise we'll be doomed.  " Zhao Dahai kept sweating from his forehead. The Zhao family is considered a big family in Nanpi City. Because his brother-in-law was an officer in the Central Army, he was appointed as the military police commander of Nanpi City. " Zhao Dahai understood that the Central Army did not count on him and his men.  This ragtag group of people can really resist the elite group of Northeastern Army stationed in Cangzhou. The reason why he was placed in Nanpi is that Nanpi is very close to Cangzhou and is the bridgehead for the Central Army to defend against the sudden southward movement of the Northeastern Army. Zhao Dahai's mission is to once it is obtained.  When he knew there was any change in the Northeastern Army in Cangzhou, he would immediately call his brother-in-law in Dongguang County. In the past, when the Northeastern Army was attacking the northwest, Zhao Dahai was also cautious enough and would arrange personnel to spy on the Northeastern Army in Cangzhou every day. But recently.  When he learned that Zhang Xinghan was leading the Northeast Army to fight against Japanese Japs, it was impossible to go south in a short time, Zhao Dahai relaxed his vigilance. He never thought that he would be so unlucky. As soon as he relaxed his vigilance, the Northeast Army and these bastards were attacked.  Duzi really hit him. Fortunately, he had the foresight to know that Nanpi would be attacked sooner or later, so he had to move all his small property to Hengshui, so he had to run away. But before running away, Zhao Dahai.  There is one more thing that must be done. If he doesn’t do this, he will probably be killed by his brother-in-law even if he escapes back to Dongguang. “Er Gouzi, where is the phone? Get it quickly.  " "Boss, why are you making a call at this hour? Even if you call for reinforcements, it's too late!  " "I told you to f*cking bring it, then there is so much f*cking nonsense, calling for bullshit reinforcements, I called my brother-in-law and told him that the Northeast Army was calling.  "Zhao Dahai roared with a ferocious expression. "Oh, okay, I'll get it right away.  " Ergouzi ran to the living room on the side to get the phone. Zhao Dahai quickly dialed it a few times, held it to his ear and started feeding it. "Huh?  Why the hell can't you fight out?  !  "Zhao Dahai looked at the phone in surprise. Ergouzi said with a sad face: "Boss, could it be that the phone line was pinched by someone?  " "Fuck me, those bastards from the Northeast Army have done an incredible job!  "Zhao Dahai became furious and smashed the phone to pieces. "Boss, don't worry about so much now, let's run away.  "Er Gouzi said. "Let's go to the east gate!  " Zhao Dahai waved his hand. "Master, don't leave me, take me with you.  "The concubine who had been awakened early on the bed ignored Er Gouzi's presence and jumped out of bed wearing a bellyband. She grabbed Zhao Dahai and begged pitifully. "You stinky bitch, get out of here."  "Zhao Dahai didn't even look. He kicked the concubine to the ground without hesitation, and left in a panic with Er Gouzi. Zhao Dahai hurriedly came to the east gate with Er Gouzi and dozens of his guards.  At this time, there were still thirty or forty garrison soldiers at the east gate who were at a loss at the city gate. Seeing Zhao Dahai's arrival, a leading officer quickly ran over and said in a panic: "Commander,  What happened?  " "Wang Laosi, the guys from the Northeast are coming. Don't worry about it now. Take your brothers and follow me to break out of the siege from the east gate. Let's get out of the city.  " Zhao Dahai said. "Ah?  !  good.  "Wang Laosi was startled at first, then nodded quickly and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate and join forces with Zhao Dahai. Hundreds of people rushed out from the east gate in a chaotic manner. However, they did not wait for a few seconds.  As he stepped forward, there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside the originally silent east gate, and dense and dazzling flames roared from all directions. Zhao Dahai was caught off guard and fell down on the spot.  , took Er Gouzi and ran back. Wang Laosi and others ran a little slower, and their flesh and blood were blown up by the grenades launched by the grenade. They looked at the defender No. 10 being beaten like a lost dog.  After hurriedly escaping back into the city, a second lieutenant platoon leader leading the team outside the east gate burst into laughter: "Hahaha, these bastards still want to run away?  Can you run away?  Okay, okay, stop shooting, you bunch of losers!  " Inside the east gate, Zhao Dahai, who had fled back in a hurry, urged the last few men who entered the city to close the city gate again, and then he suddenly collapsed and sat down in the city gate hole. Ergouzi was shaking all over and said in horror: "Head!  , what to do, we seem to be surrounded.  " Zhao Dahai turned around and saw that less than half of the 100 people who had just left the city had returned alive. He was even more frightened and said tremblingly: "Surrender, surrender, we surrender, raise the white flag, go quickly!  " "Hey, okay, I'll go right away.  "Er Gouzi was amnesty and took a few soldiers to go to the spot.Prepare the white flag and go.  "Battle base, the remaining enemies in the city have basically been eliminated. Dozens of defenders at the east gate have raised their flags and surrendered." Outside the city, a soldier ran to Guo Zhong and reported.  "The prisoners will be taken to the county jail and closely guarded. The four doors will be sealed and no one will be allowed in or out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot on the spot." Guo Zhongdao.  "Yes." The soldier agreed loudly and ran all the way to deliver the order.  After watching him leave, Guo Zhong ordered a communications soldier behind him: "Send power to the main station immediately and say that Nanpi has been successfully captured." "Yes." The communications soldier also stepped forward to accept the promise and quickly turned on the marching radio.  Start sending.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 440: Another Attack on Dongguang

    When Zhang Xinghan received the telegram, the main force had already departed. When Liu Jianguo came to the car where he was riding with the telegram to report, and praised the guard battalion for their good work.  Zhang Xinghan said lightly: "With the strength of the guard battalion, if we can't take down a mere Nanpi County, then there will be no need to fight this southern expedition." Liu Jianguo smiled brightly and said: "That's true." "Okay.  , Nanpi City has been captured, order the troops to move forward at full speed." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and began to take a nap.  Liu Jianguo responded, then said goodbye and got out of the car.  ………………… In Nanpi City, Zhao Dahai and others were being taken to the prison by a group of Northeastern officers and soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers.  While walking on the road, Zhao Dahai secretly looked at these burly Northeastern troops, all of whom had indifferent expressions. He saw that they had unkind faces and fierce looks. Zhao Dahai thought he was going to take them to be shot. In addition to fear in his heart, he suddenly became wise in his haste.  He fell to the ground with an ouch.  A guard battalion officer with thick arms and a burly figure walked over with a submachine gun, kicked Zhao Dahai on the butt, and shouted angrily: "What the hell is going on? Get up quickly." "Sir, I have a stomachache.  , I want to go to the hut." Zhao Dahai said with a painful look on his face. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Ergouzi on the side also followed suit, "Oh, oh, I have a stomachache too, sir!  "My stomach hurts!" The guards were furious when they saw this, and each of them slapped them: "You have a fucking stomachache, don't you? I just have to hold it in and shit in my crotch." Seeing that his plan failed, Zhao Dahai looked at him resentfully.  Ergouzi glanced at him and made another plan: "Sir, I am the commander of the military police of Nanpi City. I have important information to see your commander!" "Are you the commander of the military police of Nanpi City?" The guard looked up and down.  He said disdainfully: "If you are the commander of the military police, I am the mayor of Peking. What tricks are you trying to do for me?! I think you deserve a beating!" After saying that, he gave Zhao Dahai a hard kick.  Zhao Dahai screamed repeatedly: "Sir, what I told is the truth. I am really the military police commander of Nanpi. My brother-in-law is the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the Central Army. He is currently stationed in Dongguang, not far from Nanpi.  County. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them. They all know it. Ergouzi, if you want to survive, prove it to me!” Ergouzi was excited and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice: “Sir,  He is right, he is indeed our commander. The fight with you just now was all under his instructions. You guys can't help it. This is definitely not our original wish. " Ergouzi.  These words resonated with other captured soldiers in the garrison. They, who were often squeezed by Zhao Dahai, took the opportunity to add insult to injury and nodded in agreement.  "Okay, I didn't ask you so much nonsense." The guard pointed at Ergouzi and asked: "Let me ask you, is it true that this guy just said that his brother-in-law is the Central Military Battalion Commander in Dongguang County?"  Ergouzi nodded hurriedly and said: "It's true. There is a battalion of the Central Army stationed in Dongguang County, plus two security squadrons. There are more than 700 people in total. His brother-in-law is the largest official in the city." More than ten minutes,  Zhao Dahai and Er Gouzi were taken back to their military police headquarters.  But now this place has become Guo Zhong’s temporary camp headquarters.  A second lieutenant platoon leader saluted Guo Zhong and said: "The camp seats have been brought." Guo Zhong, who was looking at the map, raised his head when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Dahai and Er Gouzi with sharp eyes.  The two of them felt as if a cold light swept over them, their whole bodies were trembling, and they were very scared.  "Who among you is Zhao Dahai?" Guo Zhong asked.  "I am. He is." Zhao Dahai and Er Gouzi both rushed to answer.  Guo Zhong's face turned cold instantly, and Zhao Dahai and Er Gouzi fell silent.  "I'm asking who Zhao Dahai is. Why don't you rush to talk nonsense? Come on, take this pointy-mouthed monkey-cheeked, thief-faced, rat-eyed, talkative thing out and kill him!" Guo Zhong suddenly said angrily.  Ergouzi didn't react for a while until two Northeastern Army soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers came in and walked towards him.  Only then did he suddenly realize, and he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, have mercy on me. I've realized my mistake. I've realized my mistake. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please have mercy on me, sir!" Guo Zhong waved his hands impatiently.  A soldier immediately pulled him out like a dog. Ergouzi, who was as timid as a mouse, peed his pants in fear, and a water stain appeared on the ground.  Guo Zhong pinched his nose and cursed: "Mother, you are as timid as a mouse. If the Japanese really come, you will be considered a traitor. I will kill you immediately!" &nbsp;Soon, a deafening gunshot came from outside, and Er Gouzi's cry for mercy stopped abruptly.  Zhao Dahai, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened that he lost his mind and started kowtowing repeatedly: "Sir, please have mercy on me. I have never committed any crime with your army. I only work here to earn a living. Please have mercy on me, sir."  Guo Zhong watched Zhao Dahai's begging for mercy with great interest, until he was a little incoherent, then he said: "Zhao Dahai, do you want to live?" "Think about it" Zhao Dahai nodded repeatedly without thinking.  "Okay, I'll give you a chance to live, but please remember, if you don't cooperate well and dare to be clever, I can guarantee that you will die more miserably than that person just now." Guo Zhong  He said viciously.  "Yes, yes, I will never dare, I will definitely not dare, I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate." Zhao Dahai quickly expressed his position.  …………… At three o’clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo led the main force to Nanpi City.  Guo Zhong took two of his subordinates out of the city to greet him. As soon as they met, he told Zhang Xinghan about Zhao Dahai and his thoughts.  After Zhang Xinghan listened, he nodded happily and praised: "Well, Zhongzi, this is a good idea. I agree. You can implement it immediately. However, in order to ensure safety, I think it is better to implement it tonight. After all, it is safer at night." "  What the chief said is that I will implement this plan at night." Guo Zhongdao.  "Very good, but given that there are a large number of defenders in Dongguang County, and most of them are the Central Army, the strength of the guard battalion is a bit weak. If the news leaks out, then all our efforts will be in vain. So,  I will transfer two more companies from the infantry division to you, and you will be under unified command to attack Dongguang County at night." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  "Thank you, sir." Guo Zhong was very happy.  "Okay, let's get ready." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand with satisfaction.  "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded, then strode away with his two subordinates.  Watching Guo Zhong and the others leave, Liu Jianguo smiled approvingly and said: "Chief Commander, Guo Zhong has learned a lot from you in the past few years. Marching and fighting are quite your style." "Haha, is that so?  ?" Zhang Xinghan smiled happily and walked towards the headquarters. As a man who has commanded an army of millions, it is no longer possible for him to do it himself all the time and to go forward in every battle.  So he just hoped that the subordinates around him could grow up as soon as possible and be able to stand alone as much as possible and share some of the military pressure for him.  Small-scale battles like Nanpi and Dongguang can cultivate loyal deployment capabilities like Guo Zhong's, so why not?  Why did Zhuge Liang die so early?  Aren’t you worried about no one, doing everything by yourself, and eventually becoming sick from exhaustion and dying?  A person’s energy is always limited, so as a commander, it is more important to give trust to his subordinates and let them deal with as many things as possible to reduce their own pressure.  As the saying goes, don't use people you doubt, and don't use people you trust.  Zhang Xinghan is still young. He doesn't want to imitate Zhuge Liang and die before he leaves the army. He also wants to wait until the country is prosperous and strong, and then take his wife and children to live in seclusion in the world, and enjoy the leisurely life like wandering clouds and wild cranes.  Dongguang County is located in the southeast of Hebei Province in the North China Plain, in the lower reaches of the Heilonggang Basin, bordering Wuqiao County to the south; Nanpi County to the north; Fucheng County to the west and the southern canal; bordering Jing County to the southwest; and Bo to the northwest.  It borders Ningjin County in Shandong Province across the Zhangwei New River in the east.  In addition, the Jinpu Railway passes through the northern suburbs of the county, so Dongguang's strategic position is suddenly improved.  The Central Army of Nanjing dispatched one battalion and two local security squadrons to garrison here.  The battalion commander of the garrison camp is Zhao Dahai's brother-in-law, named Zhou Chuan. This man is from Shandong and graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. He is a good-looking person, but he is not very tactful and is not good at flattery. Therefore, he has not graduated from the military academy for many years.  , he was just a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, and he was directly sent to a remote area like Dongguang by Shangfeng.  According to the current domestic situation, Dongguang County where he is stationed and Nanpi County where his brother-in-law is stationed are the border.  When I got home at night, as soon as I entered the house, a good-looking middle-aged woman in an apron came out and said kindly: "Master, are you back?" Zhou Chuan hummed, and his wife said: "Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat.  Well, I made dumplings for you today, your favorite stuffed with cabbage and pork." At the dinner table, Zhou Chuan looked at the dumplings in the bowl with no appetite. His wife noticed something strange and asked in confusion: "Master, you.  Why don't you eat it? Didn't you like eating dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage?" Zhou Chuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said with a sad face.??What's going on? I always feel restless today, my brows keep twitching.  " "What's wrong? Are you sick?  "My wife was a little panicked when she heard this. She came over with concern and reached out to touch Zhou Chuan's forehead and said, "It's not hot. Are you tired from busy work? Eat quickly. Let's go to bed after eating."  " Feeling the charm in his wife's eyes, Zhou Chuan's mind wandered, and he nodded and started to eat. After devouring dinner, he picked up his wife who was about to clear the dining table and walked towards the bedroom. His wife beat her coquettishly.  He said: "I hate it, I think you are so impatient, let me put away the dishes and wash them first."  " "There's no rush, let's finish the business first.  "Zhou Chuan strode into the bedroom with some rapid breathing, threw his wife on the bed, and jumped on her. (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 441: Success in defrauding the city

    Dongguang County is only about fifteen kilometers away from Nanpi County. Guo Zhong led a guard battalion and two infantry companies, a total of more than 1,000 people, to the north of Dongguang County in just over half an hour.  In order to better conceal his whereabouts, Guo Zhong waited until ten o'clock in the evening in Nanpi before setting off. It was exactly ten thirty after arriving in Dongguang County.  At this time, every household in Dongguang County turned off the lights and went to sleep. Except for the occasional banging of the clock, the entire county was so quiet that it was heart-stopping.  In a small forest outside the city, while the troops were quietly setting up defenses around the city, Guo Zhong smoked a cigarette and looked at Zhao Dahai who was squatting on the ground with a playful smile: "Zhao Dahai, I'm warning you for the last time, it's best to follow the instructions.  Go ahead with our arrangement. As long as I successfully capture Dongguang County, I will spare your life. If you dare to play tricks on me, huh, let your brother-in-law wait to collect your body." "Yes, little one.  I understand, I understand." Zhao Dahai nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he just wanted to save his own life. As for whether he would betray his brother-in-law or whether he would be hunted down by the Central Army, he didn't care about anything. He betrayed the Central Army.  At least he can survive now, and he should be fine if he can find a place to hide his name afterwards. Baldy Jiang didn't give him any great favor, so he doesn't have any psychological burden.  Around twelve o'clock in the evening, a communications soldier ran over, stood up to Guo Zhong and said, "The camp seats are all ready." "Have you found the telephone line too?" Guo Zhong asked worriedly.  "Found it, it has been cut off." The communications soldier replied.  "Okay." Guo Zhong threw down half the cigarette butt in his mouth and waved to his subordinates behind him: "Act!" Since the Central Army is in the city, it has more troops and its combat effectiveness is stronger than the defenders of Nanpi County. General Guo Zhong  The number of ambush troops at the three gates outside the city increased to 200, using general-purpose machine guns, grenade launchers, and submachine guns to build a solid fire blockade.  He himself led a hundred guards and more than 300 infantrymen.  A total of more than 400 people also launched an attack from the south gate.  These more than 300 infantrymen are also drawn from the guard battalion directly under the infantry division. Although the individual quality of individual soldiers is not as good as that of the guard battalion, it is still much better than other ordinary troops. The equipment is the same as that of the Guo Zhong Guard Battalion.  MP38 submachine gun plus mg34 general machine gun.  The assault firepower is very powerful.  There is a reason why Guo Zhong chose to attack from the south gate both times, because their enemies came from the north, and the south was their rear.  Therefore, the south gate is the easiest and most convenient direction for the defenders to escape after being attacked.  And Guo Zhong's direct attack from the south gate will cause a great psychological deterrent to the defenders, forcing them to retreat east, west and even north, just in time to fall into the blockade firepower of the guard camp.  Just in case, Guo Zhong personally "accompanied" Zhao Dahai to the outside of the South Gate with about a dozen guards who were dressed up to look like broken soldiers.  Guo Zhong held Zhao Dahai's left arm with one hand.  It seemed that he was supporting the injured Zhao Dahai, but in fact he was holding a twenty-gun gun against Zhao Dahai's left rib. If he made any abnormal movement, his name would be known immediately.  Under the signal from Guo Zhong's eyes, Zhao Dahai began to shout to the city gate: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Open the city gate quickly!" After a while, a torch was lit on the top of the city, and a man wearing ordinary clothes  The defenders in security uniforms poked their heads out of the female wall.  Dissatisfied, he asked loudly: "Who is down there? What are you shouting about in the middle of the night? Do you want to be shot?" Zhao Dahai had already suffered a lot of grievances. Seeing that an ordinary security team member was so rude to him, the atmosphere suddenly became abnormal.  Without waiting for Guo Zhong to speak, he yelled at the superiors: "You are fucking blind. I am the brother-in-law of Battalion Commander Zhou Chuan and the commander of the Nanpi County Gendarmerie Zhao Dahai. You didn't open the door for me quickly and delayed military affairs."  I'll fucking kill your whole family." "Who?" The security team members on the female wall were very frightened when they heard this. Zhao Dahai often comes to Dongguang County, so almost all the defenders in the county don't know this vicious battalion commander.  brother in law.  He relied on the fact that his brother-in-law was the largest official of his generation in Dongguang and Nanpi counties. He used the power of a fox as a tiger to gain power, and no one was afraid of him.  The security team member turned on a flashlight and looked down. With the light of the flashlight, he saw that the leader was indeed Zhao Dahai.  He just looked a little embarrassed, and some of the followers around him and behind him were also unkempt, like beggars, but the security team discovered it unexpectedly.  Although these security team members look miserable, they are all tall and powerful and do not look like ordinary people.  However, before he could think about it, Zhao Dahai yelled again: "That one above, are you damn blind? Haven't you seen clearly your uncle Zhao? If you don't open the city gate for me, I will kill your dog."  Damn it!” “Commander Zhao, are you not?I know that the city gates are not allowed to be opened this night. Besides, why are you here so late? You look very embarrassed.  "The security team member sat with the last bit of persistence, and it was just a routine inquiry. In fact, he was already preparing to open the city gate. After all, Zhao Dahai could not afford to offend him. Zhao Dahai and Guo Zhong below the city did not think so. The former did not think of the city gate.  The security team member on board would still ask this question, so he turned his attention to Guo Zhong and asked what to do. At Guo Zhong’s signal, Zhao Dahai continued to curse at the top of his voice: “Fuck you, the Northeast Army is calling.  , I suffered a defeat. If you don't open the city gate and delay the military situation, I will definitely let my brother-in-law kill your whole family!  " When the security team at the top of the city heard that it was such a big deal, they were immediately frightened and said: "Commander Zhao, please wait for a moment, and I will open the city gate for you.  " Two or three minutes later, the heavy city gate slowly opened, making some creaking and friction sounds. When the city gate was fully opened, two men in security uniforms carrying old sleeves came out with a smile. However,  Before they could speak to Zhao Dahai, two guards in disguise rushed forward and slashed the throats of the two security team members with two sharp daggers. Blood gushed out from the wounds.  Looking at Zhao Dahai with unwillingness on their faces and confusion in their eyes, the two guards quietly put them down on the ground, who were still alive. They wiped the daggers on their bodies and put them away, then took out their own from their backs.  With submachine guns, Guo Zhong took the lead and rushed in. Guo Zhong left two people to watch Zhao Dahai and rushed in with more than a dozen other subordinates. When the more than 300 main men who had been observing the situation from a distance saw this, they all let out deafening shouts.  The sound of killings swarmed towards the city gate with submachine guns. Zhou Chuan, who was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms, was awakened from his sleep by the sudden sound of gunfire. Since he had been lingering with his wife for a long time in the middle of the night, he was so nervous at this time.  Zhou Chuan felt a little sore in his back and was obviously depressed. He got out of bed and rubbed his eyes. His wife saw that Zhou Chuan looked a little panicked and heard the faint sounds of gunfire and shouts of death coming from outside. She couldn't help but feel depressed.  Somewhat nervously, he asked, "Master, what happened outside?  " "I don't know either. You stay at home and don't run around. I'll go out and take a look.  "After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he put on his coat and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he heard a rapid knock on the door of the courtyard. Zhou Chuan asked in a loud voice: "Who is it?  " "It's me, Xu Changkui, at the camp seat.  "Answered from outside the door. "Changkui!  Zhou Chuan hurriedly walked over and opened the courtyard door. He saw Xu Changkui looking panicked and disheveled. He hurriedly asked: "Changkui, why do you look like this?"  what's going on?  What's going on with the gunshots outside?  "Xu Changkui said: "The camp is in trouble. An enemy has entered the city.  "    "What?  Where did the enemies come from, how did they get into the city, and what did the security team do for food?  Zhou Chuan was shocked, but after all, he was a regular army officer who had attended the Whampoa Military Academy. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "Have you figured out how many enemies there are?"  Are there any heavy weapons?  " Zhou Chuan knew that his battalion of regular troops was stationed in the city, and ordinary bandits and robbers would never dare to attack him, so this unknown enemy was probably a regular army, and it was hard to say whose army it was.  , it may be the Jinsui Army in Shanxi, or it may be Han Fuqu in Shandong and Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Army. Zhou Chuan was not frightened. He first had to figure out how many enemies were attacking him, and then decided to hold on and wait for reinforcements.  Either counterattack and drive the enemy out of the city, or abandon the city and escape. However, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Changkui’s answer instantly shattered Zhou Chuan’s last remaining chance: “The enemy’s strength is unclear, but they are well-equipped and their tactics are very skillful.  It was a tough fight, and the two security squadrons were defeated almost as soon as they met.  Especially since they are all equipped with automatic weapons and their assault firepower is very powerful, it is simply not something we can compete with.  " "What are you talking about, all automatic weapons?  How many people are there?  "Zhou Chuan keenly captured something. "Judging from the current firepower of the south gate attack, the number of people should be no less than two companies, or even more.  "Xu Changkui said. "Two or three companies of assault troops, all equipped with automatic weapons, are definitely not Han Fuqu's troops. When did the old boy get so rich? This must be Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  " Zhou Chuan suddenly changed his color and analyzed. "The Northeast Border Guards, aren't they attacking the Japanese mainland?  Why did they suddenly attack us? Besides, isn't there your brother-in-law Nanpi watching us in front of us?  Why is there no movement at all?  "Xu Changkui had a series of questions. &nbsp; "I can't explain this clearly, but it is a fact that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has launched a war against us. Deputy Battalion Commander, we must report to the regiment and division headquarters immediately. " In this way, we quickly go to the battalion headquarters and call the regiment to report  , and ordered the second company and the third company to guard the platoon and prepare to retreat!" Zhou Chuan quickly made a decision.  ps: Thank you to sister enigmayanxi for the 10,000 reward. I really deserve it and feel extremely ashamed. I can only repay it by writing as hard as I can.  Today, I have already updated 15,000, and tomorrow I will update at least 15,000. If there are more, just think of it as an update for my sister.  (To be continued.)

    "Battal Commander, how are you? Have you made the call?" After returning to the battalion headquarters, Xu Changkui, who had just returned from delivering the military order, happened to meet Zhou Chuan who was walking out and asked immediately.  Zhou Chuan sighed dejectedly and said, "No, the phone line was probably destroyed by the Northeastern Border Guards, and there is no way to get through at all." After saying that, Zhou Chuan asked again: "How is it, have the troops been assembled?" "All  We are ready to break out at any time." Xu Changkui said: "But, camp, which direction should we break out of? I think the northeastern border guards are well prepared, and there may be an ambush outside the city." "Well, let's talk.  It makes sense, so come with me." Zhou Chuan suddenly thought of his own tunnel, which he discovered when he led his troops to Dongguang County. His current home turned out to be the mansion of a large landowner, and there was a secret tunnel in the courtyard.  , leading directly to the woods outside the city.  Xu Changkui and others did not dare to delay. They took more than 300 people who had gathered in a hurry and followed the battalion commander Zhou Chuan in the direction of his home.  At this time, the gunshots and shouts of killing in the city became more and more intense, especially in the south area of ??the city, where fires rose into the sky from time to time, which was very dazzling in the dark night.  Zhou Chuan and Xu Changkui came to their home with their troops, and happened to meet their wives planning to go out to look for them.  "Master, you are back. What happened? And isn't this Deputy Battalion Commander Xu? Why are you all here?" Faced with his wife's question, Zhou Chuan said: "Daughter-in-law, don't ask, there are enemies.  "They're coming, pack up and follow me out of the city." "Okay, okay, I'll go right away." His wife turned pale with fright and quickly turned around to pack up her clothes.  went.  "Camp, how do we evacuate?" Xu Changkui asked anxiously as the sound of gunfire got closer.  "Follow me." Zhou Chuan took the lead into the inner courtyard, and his wife simply packed up some important items and followed.  Arriving under a locust tree in the backyard, Zhou Chuan ordered his subordinates: "Sweep away the fine soil above. There is an iron plate underground, and then lift up the iron plate." Three or four Central Army soldiers came forward.  The iron plate was soon discovered. After they lifted the iron plate, a one-meter-square tunnel entrance appeared in front of everyone.  Zhou Chuan took a torch from a soldier, waved it into the tunnel entrance, burned some spider webs, and said to Xu Changkui and others: "I discovered this by accident. It leads directly to the woods outside the city. From here we  If we go out, we can avoid the ambush that the enemy may have ambushed." Xu Changkui and others said with joy, "Great, we can escape smoothly with this tunnel." "First squad, open the way ahead.  , everyone, please remember to put out the torch when you reach the exit." Zhou Chuan ordered.  In the woods outside the city, as the fierce battle inside the city unfolded, two guards from the infantry division were ordered to escort Zhao Dahai back to the woods where they were hiding.  Two guards tied Zhao Dahai to a poplar tree with a thick hemp rope. At this moment, he was looking towards Dongguang County where the fierce fighting was going on.  ??Secretly regretting that she couldn't go into the city to fight with her comrades.  At this moment, the originally flat land next to a big tree in the distance that was big enough for two people to hug suddenly shook slightly, and soon the entire land moved to one side.  A dark hole was revealed.  A black shadow sneakily crawled out of the hole, looked around cautiously, and then stepped aside.  Immediately afterwards, the black shadows crawled out of the hole one after another.  When Zhou Chuan and Xu Changkui climbed out, the Central Army soldier who crawled out first walked over lightly and said softly: "Battle seat, deputy seat, there is a fire over there, I went to see it just now.  There are two Northeastern troops guarding a prisoner. "Don't alert them, we will evacuate immediately." Although it is easy to kill these two Northeastern troops, who knows if there are hidden Northeastern troops elsewhere in case their traces are exposed.  , then the gain outweighs the loss.  Just when Zhou Chuan and others were planning to escape quietly, Zhao Dahai, who had been tied up for a long time, suddenly said to two Northeastern Army guards: "Two sirs, I am in urgent need of urination. Please show mercy and let me relieve myself.  I haven’t peed all night.” “You’ve got so many things going on. If you hadn’t helped us cheat the city gate, I would have shot you.” A Northeastern Army guard said so.  But he still came over to untie Zhao Dahai. After all, with their skills and weapons, they were not afraid of what this fat-headed and big-eared loser could do.  "Head of the house, it seems to be the voice of my brother Dahai." Zhou Chuan's wife, with sharp ears, suddenly grabbed Zhou Chuandao who was about to leave.  &nbsp"What? Dahai? Why is he here?" Zhou Chuan also vaguely heard the voice that seemed to be that of his useless brother-in-law.  Xu Changkui said with an unkind expression: "Yingzuo, your brother-in-law joined the Northeastern Border Guards. The Northeastern Army just said that he helped open our city gate by fraud." "Hmph, this bastard, I have to kill him." Zhou.  Chuan was furious. Not only had Dongguang County been lost, but his brother-in-law had also surrendered to the enemy. If his superiors knew that Dongguang and Nanpi were lost in this way, he would have to be shot.  Seeing Zhou Chuan's anger, his wife immediately urged him urgently: "Master, you can't kill Dahai. He must have been forced by the Northeast Army. He must have been forced. Just save him. He is the only child of our family."  Ah, please." "Hai Dahai has surrendered to the Northeast Army now, why should we save him?" Zhou Chuan said angrily.  "Master, please save Dahai for the sake of my wholehearted service to you. If you don't agree, I don't want to live anymore." Seeing his wife crying sadly, Zhou Chuan couldn't bear it and waved his hand: "Okay, okay.  , stop crying." "Deputy Battalion Commander Xu!" "What are your orders, Camp?" Xu Changkui asked.  "Lead people to kill those two Northeastern troops and take Zhao Dahai away to me. No matter how much trouble he causes, I will treat him well when we get to Hengshui." Zhou Chuan said.  "Yes." Xu Changkui did not dare to disobey, and immediately led a few soldiers to touch over there.  At this time, Zhao Dahai had just been released, and he said with a flattering face to the Northeast Army soldier who released him: "Thank you, thank you very much." "Hurry up and pee, there is so much nonsense, just behind this tree, don't go too far,  Otherwise, my bullets won't have eyes." The guard just finished speaking when a gunshot suddenly rang out.  A bullet hit his helmet, a blood arrow splashed on the guard's forehead, and his burly body fell straight back.  Zhao Dahai was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a hurry.  The other guard was horrified when he saw this. Just as he was about to shoot, another hot bullet whizzed and hit his left chest with a pop.  The bullet entered from the chest and came out through the quilt.  The guard's majestic body was suddenly startled. He lowered his head with difficulty and looked at the wound on his body that was bleeding wildly. He fell to the ground with a face full of reluctance.  Xu Changkui and several Central Army soldiers with good marksmanship rushed over quickly. The two picked up Zhao Dahai, who was paralyzed with fear, and left. Xu Changkui picked up the guns of the two guards.  He took it in his hand and looked at it and couldn't help but nod and praise: "Well, yes, it's a good gun. After saying that, he emptied all the magazines on the guard and quickly disappeared into the night with his men.  When Zhao Dahai saw that the people who saved him were his brother-in-law and sister, his eyes suddenly became wet, and he burst into tears from the injustice he had suffered for dozens of hours. "Cry, just cry.  I have been completely disgraced by you, and you dared to help the Northeast Army defraud my city. I think you are impatient.  "Zhou Chuan was extremely disgusted when he saw him like this. When Zhao Dahai heard this, he was shocked and quickly fell to his knees on the ground, crying and saying: "Brother-in-law.  All of this was forced by the Northeastern Army who suffered a thousand blows. They threatened me that if I didn't agree, they would shoot me. There was nothing I could do, brother-in-law!  " "If they really shot you, it would save me a bullet.  Seeing how embarrassed Zhou Chuan was, he reached out and was about to pull out his gun. His wife was sharp-eyed. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Zhou Chuan tightly, begging for mercy: "Master, no, Dahai was forced to do it. He will never dare to do it again."  .  Please don't kill him, don't kill him.  " "Brother-in-law, I will never dare to do it again, brother-in-law!  "Zhao Dahai burst into tears. "If you still want to have a f*cking future, I will kill you right now.  " Zhou Chuan was furious. Fortunately, his wife held on tightly and refused to let go. At this moment, Xu Changkui returned with two MP38 submachine guns on his back and said to Zhou Chuan: "Battle base, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to evacuate as soon as possible. As for Zhao  Dahai, it won't be too late to punish him when he returns to Hengshui.  "Hmph, I'll take care of you when we get to Hengshui."  "Zhou Chuan then gave up drawing his gun, snorted coldly, turned around and left. "In the city, when Guo Zhong led his troops to attack Zhou Chuan's battalion, he found that the place was already empty of people and there was no decent appearance at all.  Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately ordered his troops to search and suppress the Central Army who might be hiding. Not long after, soldiers suddenly ran over and reported: "The camp is not good, Zhao Dahai is being attacked outside the city."  He was rescued, but the two soldiers guarding him were also killed.  "    "What?  Zhao Dahai ran away?  "Guo Zhong was shocked when he heard this. At this moment, there was another second lieutenant.The platoon leader rushed over and said to Guo Zhong: "At the camp, a secret tunnel was found in the backyard of the garrison commander's house." "Tunnel?" Guo Zhong thought about it carefully, then suddenly clapped his hands and said in silence: "No, the enemy tunneled through the tunnel.  Zhao Dahai was also rescued by them. "What should we do now?" the second lieutenant platoon leader asked in surprise.  Guo Zhongqiang calmed himself, pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, immediately send a message to the headquarters to report the situation truthfully, saying that the whereabouts of our troops may have been exposed, and asking the headquarters to make a decision quickly. In addition, inform each company and platoon to leave the city immediately, and give me  Chasing. " ps: Although I am very tired, Qiu Feng is very touched by sister enigmayanxi's love, especially when the updates are so weak during this period, she still rewards me and gives me monthly tickets, so I drag my tired body.  , I forced myself to type out another chapter, which I think is an extra chapter for my sister.  In addition, there will be at least five updates after dawn. In return for all the parents who subscribed and voted to support me, thank you for your continued understanding. I will update as stably as possible in the future.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 443: Capture of Texas

    Nanpi County, Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan has fallen asleep in a bedroom next to the headquarters, where Liu Jianguo and several adjutants are taking turns on duty.  Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door woke Zhang Xinghan from his sleep. The instinct of the special forces prompted Zhang Xinghan to reach out and touch the gun he placed beside the bed before his eyes were opened.  With the gun in his hand, Zhang Xinghan asked coldly: "Who?" "It's me, Jianguo, the chief." Liu Jianguo's voice outside the door was a little anxious.  "Jianguo." Zhang Xinghan put away the gun, put on his leather shoes and coat, opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?".  Liu Jianguo ignored the salute and said, "Chief, I just received a call from Guo Zhong. Something happened in Dongguang County." "What's wrong? Didn't we win?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a raised brow.  "No, we have captured it, but there is a tunnel in the city that leads directly to the outside of the city. Some of the defenders escaped along the tunnel. Guo Zhong has now led his troops to chase us, but our whereabouts may have been exposed." Liu Jianguo said.  "It's not possible, it's definitely going to be exposed. Once someone escapes at night, trying to intercept them all is tantamount to wishful thinking." Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought.  Liu Jianguo said: "Then what should we do now?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Xinghan made a decisive decision: "We must change the original battle plan. We should send electricity to Guo Zhong immediately and ask him to stop the unnecessary pursuit and go south immediately.  Bypass Wuqiao Town, raid Dezhou, and win Dezhou at all costs. ""Yes," Liu Jianguo stood up and quickly accepted the order.  Soon, an infantry division and a tank division stationed in Nanpi City, totaling about 40,000 troops, were quickly dispatched.  Since the infantry division was also mechanized and all rode on military trucks and motorcycles, the march was very fast. It only took half an hour to reach Dongguang County, which is 30 miles away.  Zhang Xinghan did not divide his troops and stationed in Dongguang County.  Directly lead the troops to bypass and go straight to Texas.  At the same time, Guo Zhong also received Zhang Xinghan's order, stopped pursuing the remnants of Zhou Chuan, turned around and rushed towards Dezhou.  Fortunately, Zhou Chuan's battalion-level troops were not equipped with radio stations, and they were all on foot. In addition, the retreat was in a hurry, and the march at night lost its direction and fled to the northwest.  This direction is getting further and further away from Hengshui, Dezhou and even Wuqiao and Jingxian.  This way, Nanpi.  As soon as the news broke that Dongguang County had been attacked by the Northeastern Frontier Army, the Central Army in Hengshui and the Shandong Army in Dezhou had no way of knowing.  Dezhou is only more than fifty kilometers away, which is not a problem for the fully mechanized Jingwei Battalion.  After receiving the order from Zhang Xinghan at about 1:30 a.m., Guo Zhong's troops bypassed Wu Bridge and quietly entered the north of Dezhou City in just over two hours.  It was not yet four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not completely bright yet. Zhang Xinghan had an order to capture Texas at all costs.  Guo Zhong did not hesitate at all, after arranging his own vehicles.  He immediately led his troops to attack Texas City.  Dezhou is located to the north of the lower reaches of the Yellow River and is the northern gate of Shandong Province. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the city and the Tianjin-Puzhou Railway also passes through.  The strategic location is self-evident.  Han Fuqu deployed two security regiments here (note, during Han Fuqu's time in power, the security regiments were the regular troops of the Shandong Army, because Chairman Chiang did not give many regular numbers. Therefore, many of the troops privately expanded by South Korea were referred to as the security regiments. Many security guards  The regiment is even the main elite force that Han Fuqu spent a lot of money to build, and its combat strength is not bad among ordinary troops.) There are more than 4,000 people in total.  Not only were there telephones in the city, but the defenders were also equipped with radio stations.  In addition, there are two regiments stationed in Binzhou and Liaocheng, which echo each other from a distance and form an angle with each other.  Knowing that his troops were not superior, Guo Zhong did not divide his troops to surround the four cities this time. Instead, he deployed more than 20 grenades and mortars carried by his troops outside the North Gate, aiming at the North Gate City.  The door started shelling.  Since it was not wartime, Dezhou's defense was also very lax. The defenders had no idea that there was an enemy attack. There were very few sentries on the city tower, let alone building defensive positions outside the city.  In addition, it was night, and under the cover of darkness, Guo Zhong's artillery was able to quietly set up the mortar very close to the city gate.  With a second lieutenant quietly waving his hand, more than twenty 60mm and 50mm mortar grenades suddenly opened fire. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? The dull sound of the cannon being ejected one after another, and the scarlet fire roared from the muzzle.??, drawing dazzling arcs in the low air and slamming towards the city gate.  "Boomboom" A series of violent explosions occurred at the city gate, and the dazzling red light almost climbed up to the city gate.  The sudden explosion shocked the entire ancient city of Dezhou. Two Shandong Army soldiers who happened to be patrolling nearby on the city wall were so frightened that they fell down quickly and screamed: "No, there are enemies, enemy attacks!!!" Then  The violent explosion that followed completely drowned out the shouts of the two people. After the second round of violent explosions, the thick and strong city gate was blown to pieces.  Thousands of Northeastern officers and soldiers armed with submachine guns and under the cover of their own grenade launchers and general-purpose machine guns swarmed forward like a flood.  "Charge, kill!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the MP38 submachine guns in the hands of a dozen Jingwei at the front roared one after another.  The dense rain of bullets knocked to the ground more than a dozen Shandong Army soldiers who rushed for reinforcements in the city.  Before the main force of the Shandong Army in the city could react, the Northeastern Army rushed into the city like wolves and tigers, and quickly attacked the center of the city along the streets.  For the officers and soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion, who are similar to the all-round special forces, this kind of street fighting and close combat are their specialties. They are all very comfortable with it. In addition, the MP38 submachine guns in their hands are even more powerful weapons in street fighting. Therefore, although they do not have an advantage in terms of strength, they will be numbered.  The Shandong Army, which was twice as big as mine, was retreating steadily and was unable to fight back.  The fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, and most of the Shandong Army in the city lost most of them. The remaining Shandong Army fled in a hurry from the south gate. However, before they could escape far, they found that the road ahead was blocked by a large number of steel warriors.  Car blocks.  Facing the rolling torrent of iron armor and the black muzzles of large-caliber artillery, the Shandong Army who escaped from the city became desperate. They threw away their weapons and surrendered with hands and knees.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops to arrive in time and basically annihilated the Shandong Army in Dezhou City. However, before the city was broken, a regiment commander of the Shandong Army had already sent the news to Han Fuqu in Jinan through a radio station.  After entering the city, Zhang Xinghan assigned two infantry regiments to attack Binzhou and Liaocheng respectively.  "General, the Air Force has taken off and will be rushing to Binzhou and Liaocheng to participate in the war in an hour at the latest." Liu Jianguo reported to Zhang Xinghanhui at the temporary headquarters in Dezhou City.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and continued to focus on the combat map.  "General, according to intelligence, there is still a division of the Central Army stationed in Hengshui. I am worried that if our main force moves westward, they will attack Dezhou to cut off our army's retreat." Liu Jianguo pointed at the map and said with a worried look.  Zhang Xinghan is not worried at all that his retreat will be cut off. The kill value accumulated by his multifunctional watch is enough to consume the few troops in his hand for three to five years.  Therefore, he said: "Our strategic target this time is Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army. The Central Army and Shandong Army are not important. As for the back road being cut off, there is no need to worry about it. The supplies we carry are enough for this battle, not to mention our  There is also an air force available for airdrops." Liu Jianguo nodded with relief, "Commander, when will we leave?" "Tonight."  "Tonight? Wouldn't it be delayed for more than ten hours? Chief, didn't you say that the faster the better, the faster the better?"  Liu Jianguo asked puzzledly.  "That's true, but Jianguo, have you ever thought about it. If we march westward in broad daylight, our strategic intentions are likely to be defeated by Yan Laoxi. Once he mobilizes heavy troops to southern Shanxi, he will join forces with the Central Army to resist us in southern Shanxi.  If we attack with a partial division, it will be much more difficult for us to complete the strategic encirclement of the Jinsui Army. By now, the news that Dezhou has been captured by our army should have reached Han Fuqu's ears, and it won't be long before Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  Both Yan Laoxi and Yan Laoxi knew that we were holding back for the time being, and I sent two regiments to attack Binzhou and Liaocheng respectively. This could easily give the outside world the illusion that we would probably cross the river to attack Jinan. This would not only make Han Fuqu dare not to attack Jinan.  Moving troops north can also paralyze the attention of Chairman Chiang's Central Army and Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army. At this time, it is time for Jingzhong and Liu Guodong to launch an attack. Yan Laoxi will inevitably mobilize troops from central and southern Shanxi under pressure from the north.  We have no time to worry about heading north to resist our army's frontal attack. And tonight we will march at night, making a detour all the way to Puyang, Xinxiang, and finally to Jincheng, completely blocking the Shanxi-Sui army's escape to the south." "Oh.  , I understand the humble position, the president is wise," Liu Jianguo said with a look of surprise.     ……………………    Shandong Jinan.  At Han Fuqu’s provincial chairman’s residence, Old Han had just gotten up and was exercising in the yard. Han Fuqu had followed Feng Yuxiang in his early years, then relied on the Jinsui Army, and now he has taken refuge with Chiang Kai-shek.Baldhead, who rose to the rank of Chairman of Shandong Province. Over the years, he has been constantly rejecting Jiang Baldhead's cronies in Shandong, and gradually took control of the military and political power in Shandong. Today, he has an army of hundreds of thousands, with strong soldiers and horses, and is at the peak of his momentum. He can be regarded as a figure.  .  Suddenly, an adjutant hurried in from outside. When he saw Han Fuqu, he said: "Chairman, something is wrong, Chairman!" "What happened? You are so panicked." Han Fuqu asked in confusion.  "Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force suddenly launched an attack on our army. In just two days, they have captured Nanpi, Dongguang, and Dezhou. They also fell last night. The defenders of the two regiments either died or surrendered. The situation is critical!"  The adjutant said anxiously.  (To be continued…

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 444: United to Resist Tension

    "What?" Han Fuqu was shocked, and then said angrily: "How could this happen? What do our people do for food? And aren't Nanpi and Dongguang the territory of the Central Army? They were the first to bear the brunt of the Northeast Army's attack, so why didn't they even get any news?  Don't you want to report it?" The adjutant said: "I'm afraid the Central Army doesn't know that Dongguang and Nanpi have been lost yet, right?" Han Fuqu thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible, and said, "Damn it, Zhang Xinghan was there just now.  The Japanese were beaten by the Japanese, and I praised him as a national hero. In the blink of an eye, they turned their guns on me. How damn hateful." "Chairman, Texas has been lost, and the north bank of the Yellow River has been lost.  If there is no barrier, we still have to quickly mobilize troops to consolidate the Yellow River and Taishan defense lines, and rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to resist the attack of the Northeastern border troops," the adjutant suggested.  Han Fuqu pondered for a moment, then told his adjutant: "Immediately send a message to Sun Tongxuan to order him to speed up the 20th Division to the Yellow River Natural Barrier in Mount Tai, and be sure to hold it for me. In addition, you should immediately notify Chief of Staff Li to see me." "  Yes," the adjutant quickly turned around and took the order to leave.  Not long after, Han Fuqu’s confidant Li Shuchun arrived at the Provincial Chairman’s compound by car.  Li Shuchun has followed Han Fuqu for many years, and Sun Tongxuan has always been Han Fuqu's right-hand man. When Han Fuqu was the division commander, Li Shuchun was the chief of staff and Sun Tongxuan was the deputy division commander.  Li Shuchun got out of the car and was led by the guards to Han Fuqu's office. At this time, Han Fuqu was sitting behind his desk smoking silently.  Li Shuchun walked in and saluted: "Chairman, are you looking for me?" Han Fuqu just then noticed that Li Shuchun walked in. He quickly stood up to greet him and said: "Yinxuan, you are here. I'm afraid we are going to be in big trouble this time."  "The chairman is talking about Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force?" Li Shuchun said: "Adjutant Wang had already informed me briefly when I arrived." "That's good. Now Zhang Xinghan has led his troops to capture Dezhou and has a chance to cross the river."  How should we deal with the attack on Jinan and the sweeping force across Qilu?" Han Fuqu can't afford to have a headache. Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force is an elite force that even the Japanese and the Japanese can't defeat.  Some time ago, they all went to the Japanese hometown. Although Han Fuqu was conceited and had been on the battlefield for decades, he also knew that the gap between his Shandong Army and the Northeast Frontier Defense Army was not a tiny bit.  Moreover, the Shandong Army is also surrounded by powerful enemies. Not to mention the old guy Yan Xishan, let’s talk about Chairman Chiang. He has a grudge against himself for withholding taxes and unauthorized expansion of troops to maintain half-ready ability with the central government, but he has never had the opportunity to deal with it.  Just do it yourself.  That’s why Han Fuqu was so depressed and worried.  Li Shuchun has followed Han Fuqu for many years. What Han Fuqu could think of could not be imagined by him. The current situation has changed so much that no one could have imagined that Zhang Xinghan, who was originally very weak, would become so powerful in such a short period of time.  It was so powerful that Han Fuqu, a powerful local with more than 100,000 troops, felt a sense of despair that he was unable to fight.  After thinking about it, Li Shuchun said: "Chairman, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is very powerful and cannot be competed by our Shandong Army alone. If we want to keep Shandong, I think we must immediately contact Nanjing, Taiyuan, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Central Army and our army."  Only through the alliance of the three can we defeat the Northeastern Border Guards.” ………………… Shanxi, Taiyuan Provincial Chairman’s Office.  Yan Xishan was already in dire straits at this moment. First, news came from Song Zheyuan that Liu Guodong's 60,000 to 70,000 troops from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force had launched an attack on them under the cover of the air force and tank troops. Yanmen Pass was in danger.  Immediately afterwards, Shang Zhen from Shijiazhuang also sent an urgent message. Huang Xiansheng's First Army also set out from Baoding and attacked along Zhengtai Road.  Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Yan Xishan still did not expect that this day would come so quickly.  Especially when he learned that Zhang Xinghan was leading his troops to attack Kyushu Island, Japan's home base, Yan Xishan was relieved. All of Zhang Xinghan's mobile troops were in Japan and would not go south in a short time.  But I didn’t expect that a few days ago, Zhang Xinghan suddenly returned to China quietly and issued some nonsense proposal, demanding a popular vote.  In fact, this itself does not have much impact on Yan Xishan. His roots are in Shanxi, not Nanjing, and he only has a title in the central government. His only worry is that if he agrees with Zhang Xinghan's suggestion to form a new National Government,  So will his prestige and reputation allow him to continue to be in charge of Shanxi?  They are also afraid that Zhang Xinghan will transfer him to another place after he establishes the New National Government, which will destroy his hard work in Shanxi for so many years.  &nbsp; Therefore, he prefers to maintain the status quo. At least he and Bald Jiang have been dealing with each other for half their lives. Although they hate each other to the core, no one can do anything about the other.  Chiang Zhongzheng also turned a blind eye to him as leader of Shanxi.  Just when Yan Laoxi was worried about the war on the front line, Yang Aiyuan, his confidant and right-hand man, hurried into his office.  Seeing Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan saluted without hesitation, he said: "Chairman, something big has happened." "What? Something big has happened again?" Yan Xishan looked puzzled, thinking what else could be bigger than the Northeast Army.  It is important to attack Shanxi in two ways. Could it be that Yanmen Pass or Shijiazhuang has been lost?  Yang Aiyuan handed a telegram he carried to Yan Xishan and said: "Chairman, this is an urgent telegram just sent from Jinan by Han Fuqu, Chairman of Shandong Province. A unit of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force suddenly moved south from Cangzhou. Within two days, continuous  Capture Nanpi, Dongguang, Dezhou and other places. Now that the gateway to the north of Shandong has been opened, the Northeast Frontier Army may cross the Yellow River south to attack Mount Tai at any time. Yan Xishan obviously did not react until he was shocked.  After digesting the news a little, he rolled his eyes and said, "Well, this shouldn't be bad news for us, right?" "Yes, if the Northeast Frontier Army really wants to cross the Yellow River south, it will have to engage in a full-scale confrontation with the Shandong Army.  The war started, so that we would face less pressure. The key is that Zhang Xinghan was greedy and attacked Shanxi and Shandong at the same time. For us, the reality of uniting the Shandong Army and the Central Army to counter the Northeast Army is mature. This is a big deal.  Ah!" Yang Aiyuan said a little excitedly.  "Join the Central Army and the Shandong Army?" Yan Laoxi's mind was obviously not as fast as Yang Aiyuan's, but he always considered his Shanxi territory as the most important when considering the problem.  He said a little worriedly: "Does that mean we want to let the Central Army enter the Three Jin Dynasties? No, no, this is definitely not possible. Who is Jiang Zhongzheng? It is definitely easier to invite Buddha than to give him away. When Zhang Xinghan is defeated, Shanxi is not  Today's Shanxi, if that's the case, I might as well just send a telegram to agree with Zhang Xinghan's reform proposals. " Yang Aiyuan said in a dilemma: "Chairman, if we don't let the Central Army enter Shanxi, then we can only move southern Shanxi and Shanxi.  The defensive forces have been transferred to the north, otherwise Taiyuan will be in danger once Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass are lost. "Then we must first transfer reinforcements to block the Northeast Army's attack. South Shanxi is currently safe."  Yan Xishan said without thinking.  "What about the alliance with the Central Military Army?" Yang Aiyuan asked.  "You send a message to the Military Commission in my name, requesting a joint fight against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. The specific methods of cooperation and combat can be decided by representatives from the three parties." Yan Xishan said.  "Yes, then I will make arrangements right away." Yang Aiyuan said.  "Go, go." Yan Xishan waved his hand slightly, somewhat distractedly.  ?????……………Nanjing, Mr. Jiang’s official residence.  Today, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek met with a guest who rarely met him in private.  The two have been fighting overtly and secretly in the palace, fighting for power and profit to this day, and no one can explain their grievances clearly.  This person is none other than Mr. Wang Jingwei and Wang Jingwei, who recommended Zhang Xinghan to be promoted to the position of Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Army, Navy and Air Force some time ago.  President Wang originally wanted to use this to win over Zhang Xinghan to counter Chiang Zhongzheng's Huangpu clique and finally regain the supreme power of the Communist Party.  "But I didn't expect that Zhang Xinghan was completely indifferent to him. Not only did he not appreciate it, he also scolded him. Especially Wang Dongcheng, who had been wronged and treated coldly in the Northeast, reported it in a more aggravating manner.  Wang Dashi was so angry that he almost went berserk. His image as a Confucian scholar in the past was gone, and he cursed Zhang Xing, the eighteenth generation of Han ancestors.  At the same time, he was extremely upset and remorseful. It happened that Zhang Xinghan issued an announcement calling for the reorganization of the National Government and the mobilization of troops to prepare for the southern expedition.  Facing a huge crisis, the political rivals Wang Jingwei and Chairman Chiang joined hands again.  Like Chairman Chiang, Wang Jingwei knows that his personal reputation and prestige are not as good as those of Zhang Xinghan, or even Chairman Chiang. At least Chiang Zhongzheng has the Huangpu Clique and hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops under his command, and what does he have?  If he agrees to the reorganization, he is likely to disappear from the core power circle of the National Government.  Coupled with his hatred for Zhang Xinghan, when Chairman Chiang expressed his willingness to cooperate with him, they hit it off immediately.  No, the two of them were gathering in Jiang's study, plotting how to deal with the current crisis and solve Zhang Xinghan.  "Ji Xin, I'm not talking about you. What were you thinking at the time? You went to ask for credit for Zhang Xinghan. Now it's better. He turned aroundIt is necessary to reorganize the New Deal, which means to remove our positions!  "Chairman Chiang was still a little angry and criticized. " Wang Dabao was filled with regret and said with some embarrassment: "I was confused for a moment and misjudged the wrong person. I really regret it!"  " "Alas, Zhang Xinghan currently controls nine provinces, four cities, and the entire Korean Peninsula. He has millions of troops under his command. The troops and horses are strong, and he has become the biggest thorn in the side of the party and state.  "If we don't find a way to get rid of it, we people may no longer have a place to stay.  "Chairman Chiang sighed with some annoyance as he remembered the past. New book recommendations: ,,,,,,,,,,, footer; mark;

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 445: Little Zhuge Arrives

    Mr. Wang nodded unequivocally and said: "Brother Zhongzheng is right. We must find a way to solve the serious problem of this party-state as soon as possible. But as you said, Zhang Xinghan now has many soldiers and generals, and his momentum is as high as the sky."  , How should we deal with him? "" Relying solely on the strength of our Central Army, it is currently impossible to defeat the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, so I have sent people to contact Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of Guangxi, Liu Xiang of Sichuan, and Long Yun of Yungui.  They will arrive soon." Chairman Jiang said.  "Will they be willing to send troops?" Mr. Wang was a little worried.  "If it were Jiao Gong, they might not cooperate with the Central Army, but now Zhang Xinghan is so smart and arrogant that he wants to reorganize the National Government, which has touched the vital interests of all local powerful groups except us. If Zhang Xinghan is allowed to do so,  If he occupies Shanxi, East China and the Central Plains, and then Jiangnan, no one will be able to stop his family from becoming the dominant one. No matter Liu Xiang, Long Yun, Li Zongren or Bai Chongxi, they will be unable to survive alone.  Understood." Chairman Chiang said confidently.  While the two were talking, the report from the captain of the guard Wang Shihe sounded outside: "Commitment, General Bai is here." When Jiang Guangtou and Mr. Wang heard the words, they stood up one after another. After looking at each other, the former said: "Quickly invite Jiansheng.  Come in and see me." Not long after, Wang Shihe led the tired Bai Chongxi in.  The grievances and resentments between Bai Chongxi and Chairman Chiang cannot be explained clearly in a few words. From the initial sincere cooperation during the Northern Expedition to the subsequent military confrontation in order to seize control of the National Government, there were too many twists and turns of right and wrong.  However, there is one thing that Chairman Chiang admires and is jealous of Bai Chongxi, and that is Bai Chongxi's military capabilities. This can be seen from when he was ordered to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army and strongly recommended Bai Chongxi to him as the chief of general staff.  out.  Later, after the success of the Northern Expedition, in the early stages of the Jiang-Gui War, Chairman Chiang even tried to assassinate Bai Chongxi repeatedly to avoid future troubles, but Bai Chongxi narrowly escaped several times.  In inviting Bai Chongxi to come to Nanjing this time, Chairman Chiang also spent a lot of energy and showed enough sincerity.  Without him, firstly, he hoped to join forces with the Guangxi faction to fight against Zhang Xinghan; secondly, he valued Bai Chongxi's military talents and wanted to entrust him with an important task to fight against Zhang Xinghan, who also had extremely outstanding military talents.  As soon as Bai Chongxi entered the door, Chairman Jiang stretched out his hand to shake his hand with a smile and said: "Jiansheng, you are finally here. You have worked hard all the way!" "How dare Bai Jiansheng not come when the committee summons him? Why bother?"  While Bai Chongxi shook hands with Chairman Chiang, he adjusted the frames of his glasses out of habit.  "Dean Wang is here too?" Bai Chongxi was a little curious.  "Jiansheng, long time no see." Mr. Wang also shook hands with a smile.  After some pleasantries, the three of them came to the living room and sat down.  Chairman Chiang said straight to the point: "Jiansheng, I have urgently summoned you to Ning this time because the current situation has developed to an extremely dangerous level. We must take countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise, the Central Plains will be in danger."  Don’t worry, before coming this time, I met with De Lin, Ji Kuan (Huang Shaohong, one of the three giants of the Guangxi clique). Let me briefly introduce Huang Shaohong. In one sentence, without Huang Shaohong, the Guangxi Guangxi warlords would not have developed so powerfully. Li Zongren  Later, there would be no chance to replace Chiang Kai-shek as the acting president of the Nationalist Party.) It has been agreed that the two hundred thousand soldiers in Guangxi will obey the central government's orders and destroy the Northeast rebels at all costs." Bai Chongxi said these words sonorously.  Powerful and resounding, it directly classified Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Border Guards as rebels. Obviously, the Guangxi Clique did not want Zhang Xinghan to become bigger, because compared to Chairman Chiang, Zhang Xinghan was obviously more powerful and more difficult to deal with.  ??Especially the popular vote he mentioned about reorganizing the New Deal. Since ancient times, whoever has the stronger fist is the boss, and whoever has the more guns is the boss. Now you want to change the rules, isn't this nonsense?  After receiving such assurance from Bai Chongxi, Chairman Jiang's face flushed with excitement. He said three good words in a row and said to Bai Chongxi with a happy face: "Jiansheng, you and De Neighbor know each other well. The party and the country need you like this."  He is such a talented person." As he spoke, Chairman Chiang seemed to have returned to the days when they fought side by side in the Northern Expedition many years ago.  "The appointment is serious." Bai Chongxi also lamented.  "Jiansheng, now Zhang Xinghan is attacking Shanxi in two groups. What do you think of the current situation?" Chairman Jiang asked.  Bai Chongxi pondered for a while and said: "Commissioner, Shanxi is mountainous and the terrain is steep. Relying on the Inner Great Wall to defend it, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how strong the Northeast Army is,As long as the Jin-Sui army tried its best to resist, it would be difficult for them to break through Yanmen, Jingxing and other barriers to Jin in a short time.  "Bai Chongxi's analysis was so correct that Chairman Chiang and Wang Da, who didn't know much about military affairs, couldn't help but nod in agreement. "But" Bai Chongxi suddenly changed his voice and said: "With Zhang Xinghan's ability, it is impossible not to know this.  A frontal assault progresses slowly and is not conducive to a quick victory.  " "Therefore, I am worried that Zhang Xinghan's fierce attack on the Zhengtai Line and Yanmen Pass is just a bluff, and the real killing move is behind him. Yan Baichuan, Yang Aiyuan and others may not be able to deal with it.  "    "oh?  "Chairman Chiang and President Wang looked at each other in slight shock. The former said, "What is the killing move that Jian Sheng is referring to?  " " Looking at the battles Zhang Xinghan has commanded, it is not difficult to find that his troops are nothing more than frontal feint attacks and flank breakthroughs. He is especially good at using surprise troops. He relies on his armored transport mobility to quickly make detours and implement strategic encirclement and tactical division.  Therefore, I am worried that Zhang Xinghan is likely to send a partial division south from Cangzhou, raid Dezhou, and then move westward to block the lower reaches of the Yellow River, cut off the connection between the Jinsui Army and the Central Plains, strategically complete the siege of Shanxi, and eat it in one bite  All Jinsui Army!  "Bai Chongxi analyzed. "Eat all the Jin-Sui army in one bite?  That's an army of 300,000 people.  " Mr. Wang was shocked. At this moment, Wang Shihe came back again and came in anxiously. He even forgot to salute and said to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, I just got the news that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has  The troops were divided into three groups, one of which suddenly went south from Cangzhou. Within two days, they captured Dezhou, an important town north of the Yellow River in Shandong. They seemed to have the intention of crossing the river in a large scale and heading south to attack Jinan.  Han Fuqu, Chairman of Shandong Province, sent an urgent message requesting the central government to quickly send reinforcements to ensure the safety of the Yellow River's natural defense line.  " As soon as Wang Shihe said this, both Chairman Jiang and Wang Zhaoming were shocked, and their expressions changed drastically. What surprised them was not that Zhang Xinghan sent his army south to invade Shandong, but that Bai Chongxi's predictions were as good as his own. The development of the battle situation was almost incompatible with his analysis.  Chairman Jiang was shocked and deeply jealous. However, knowing that the situation was critical and he needed to rely on Bai's military talents, he suppressed his jealousy and said to Bai Chongxi in a kind and friendly voice: "Jian Sheng.  , the development of the war situation is exactly as you expected. How do you think we should respond?  " Before Bai Jiansheng fell into deep thought and thought about countermeasures, Wang Shihe continued: "Commissioner, in addition, the communications room just received a call from Shanxi Provincial Chairman Yan Xishan.  "    "oh?  What did Yan Baichuan say in the message?  "Chairman Chiang asked calmly. "Two armies of the Northeast Army stormed Yanmen. Zhengtai became more and more anxious. The Shanxi-Sui army was unable to catch up. Chairman Yan requested the Central Committee to send reinforcements northward quickly. He was willing to join forces with the Shandong Local Army and the Central Army to fight against the Northeast.  The border guards attack to save the party-state from crisis.  "Wang Shihe answered truthfully. "Save the party-state crisis?  Huh, what this old fox said is nice, the alliance is fine, but the Central Army must enter Shanxi and fight side by side with the Shanxi-Sui Army.  "Chairman Chiang said angrily. Bai Chongxi, who was thoughtful on the side, heard the words and quickly stopped him: "Commissioner, it is absolutely impossible to do so at this time. Yan Baichuan is extremely suspicious and has always valued Shanxi as his private property. If at this time,  The request for the Central Army to enter Shanxi may very well force him to surrender to Zhang Xinghan and support Zhang Xinghan's reorganization of the New Deal.  " "Jian Sheng's words are reasonable. Brother Zhongzheng needs to calm down. If the 300,000 Shanxi-Sui army rebels, the situation will become even worse.  " Mr. Wang also nodded and agreed. He still has this point of view. "Chairman Chiang just said angry words, how could he not know these? He immediately nodded silently, agreeing with Bai Chongxi's persuasion. "  The top priority, according to the committee, is to quickly mobilize reinforcements into Shandong to stabilize Hanfu Canal. In addition, Hu Zongnan, Liu Zhi and other troops are ordered to strengthen the defense of Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places to prevent the Northeast Frontier Defense Force from taking advantage of it.  “Also, Xu Tingyao’s troops in North China must immediately enter a wartime state, ready to raid Cangzhou at any time, and cooperate with the main force of the Central Army to attack the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  "Bai Chongxi quickly made a response. "Yes.  "Chairman Chiang nodded in agreement, then looked at Bai Chongxi meaningfully and asked: "Jian Sheng, the Central Army must stick to the south of the Yangtze River, the two lakes, and the vast area of ??the Central Plains. Even if it is deployed with all its strength, I am afraid that the reinforcements mobilized will not be able to form an advantage. Therefore, the Guangxi team  Still have to go north.  "Bai Chongxi secretly cursed the old fox, and could only say: "Please rest assured, my Majesty, before I set off, the main force of our 7th Group Army has already moved along the railway to Wuhan, and will soon be able to go north along the Beijing-Hankow Railway to the Central Plains to participate in the war.  " "Okay, okay, with you and De Lin, and Ji Kuan's full support, the party and the country will be able to resolve this unprecedented crisis.  "Chairman Jiang said with a satisfied smile. &nbsp;"Shihe, Jiansheng has had a hard time traveling all the way. Go and arrange a resting place for Jiansheng so that he can have a good rest." Chairman Jiang ordered Wang Shihe.  Wang Shihe bowed his head and accepted the order and left. Bai Chongxi also stood up and saluted: "Come on, I'll take my leave now." (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 446: Zhang Lingfu appears

    Chairman Chiang, traitor Wang, the New Guangxi Clique, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Shandong Army quickly formed a military alliance. The Central Army of Liu Zhi and Hu Zongnan stationed in Henan began to mobilize troops and generals to prepare to strengthen Xinxiang,  Defense forces in Jiaozuo, Puyang and other places.  Han Fuqu also deployed elite troops from all over Shandong to the natural dangers of the Yellow River and Mount Tai, preparing to fight against Zhang Xinghan's crossing of the river.  Yan Xishan received assistance from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and began to transfer all troops from central Shanxi and southern Shanxi northward to reinforce the front lines of Zhengtai and Yanmenguan.  That afternoon, with the assistance of the air force, two infantry regiments of Zhang Xinghan's partial division captured Liaocheng and Binzhou, the important places on the north bank of the Yellow River in southwest and southeast Texas respectively.  Completely eliminate the power of the Shandong Army north of the Yellow River. In fact, there is also a Shandong Army security regiment stationed in the above two places. Although the combat strength cannot be compared with a main regiment of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, if they try their best to defend, the Northeast  It is impossible for the border guards to capture these two places in such a short period of time.  Mainly because of the loss of Dezhou, the Shandong Army was already in a passive position in Hebei. In order to preserve its strength, Han Fuqu took the initiative to order the security groups from the two places to withdraw southward.  After capturing Bincheng and Liaocheng counties, Zhang Xinghan left a tank regiment and an infantry regiment to garrison the two counties and Dezhou respectively. That night, he and Liu Jianguo personally led a tank armored division, two infantry regiments and Katyusha rocket launchers.  The regiment, a baggage regiment, an air defense regiment, and its own Jingwei battalion, totaling more than 30,000 people, passed through Liaocheng and marched westward overnight.  (Note: One division of the Northeast Army has three infantry regiments, one tank regiment, one air defense regiment, one artillery regiment, plus one baggage regiment and directly affiliated reconnaissance battalion and Jingwei battalion, totaling seven regiments and two battalions, with a full strength of nearly 30,000  The remaining infantry division that accompanied Zhang Xinghan was the 1st Division of the First Army, Huang Xiansheng’s old unit.  It is also the elite ace division of the First Group Army. The division commander is concurrently served by Liu Jianguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the First Group Army.  Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo commanded the troops to march overnight, detouring when they encountered cities along the way. Yanggu County and Taiqian County were located at the junction of Shandong and Henan, and belonged to the "Three No Matters" zone.  There are only less than a thousand local security teams stationed in the two county towns. How can they dare to resist the massive tens of thousands of Northeastern Army troops?  So when the Northeastern Border Guards entered the country, both counties closed their doors, pretending not to know, and allowed the Northeastern Border Guards to bypass the city.  The distance from Liaocheng to Puyang is about three hundred miles.  If Zhang Xinghan and the others were marching at the same speed and there were no mistakes on the way, they could quickly reach the outskirts of Puyang in six or seven hours, launch an attack before dawn, capture Puyang in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to move westward to Xinxiang and Jincheng.  But when Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo led their troops to Fan County, which was more than 200 miles away from Liaocheng, they encountered a stubborn resistance.  And Fan County is less than 70 kilometers away from Puyang.  Fan County is located in the northeast of Henan, on the north bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.  Looking west to Taihang and east to Daiyue, it can be said to be the eastern gateway of Puyang.  It is the most convenient and only way to Puyang from Shandong along the north bank of the Yellow River.  If you take a detour, you will have to walk at least half the distance, which is obviously unacceptable to Zhang Xinghan.  “And, there was a gunshot in Fan County.  The chance of a surprise attack on Puyang means that it has disappeared. Now it depends on who arrives first, the reinforcements rushing to support Puyang or the Northeastern Army.  Zhang Xinghan still doesn’t know why he encountered strong resistance in Fan County.  It was entirely because Xiao Zhuge had already analyzed his combat intentions and ordered the Puyang garrison in advance to strengthen the defense of Fan County, the gateway to the east. He ordered the garrison to resist desperately and buy time for reinforcements from Xinxiang, Zhengzhou and other places to arrive in Puyang.  Outside Fan County, the rocket launcher group and tank artillery group of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force were conducting a large-scale salvo artillery fire. The dense artillery almost submerged the entire Fan County City.  Amid the violent and continuous explosions, Fanxian County Seat was floating back and forth like a wooden boat in the sea, although it might have been swallowed up by the soaring fire.  Zhang Xinghan was eager to pass, so after the attack by the forward troops failed, he immediately ordered the Katyusha rocket artillery group directly under the 1st Division and the tank division to jointly launch an unprecedented violent bombardment against Fan County.  Too many ads?  Is there a pop-up window?  The interface is fresh, and the entire site is advertised. Tons of steel cannonballs fell down, and countless violent explosions sounded one after another. The entire Fan County city looked like a sea of ??fire.  In order not to waste time, the shelling only lasted for more than 20 minutes. Zhang Xinghan ordered the two battalions of the 1st Division to take the opportunity to launch an attack and prepare to seize the city.  However, when the artillery fire stopped, a group of Central Army soldiers emerged from the flames of Fanxian City like a ghost.  A large hail of bullets roared down, and the Northeastern border guards officers and soldiers who were swarming in charge were caught off guard and fell down one after another.  No?If someone falls in front, more soldiers of the Northeast Army will immediately step over the bodies of their comrades behind them, shouting slogans and continue to rush forward bravely.  Looking at his own soldiers advancing one after another, suffering heavy casualties but making little progress, Zhang Xinghan, who was supervising the battle in the rear, could not help but frown. He did not expect to encounter such tenacious resistance in this small and inconspicuous county. It seemed that the commander in the city was not  What a good person.  "General, the commander of the garrison in this city is not simple." Liu Jianguo said with deep feeling.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, and Liu Jianguo continued: "If this continues, our army may not be able to reach Puyang before dawn.^——Advertisement for the whole site——Welcome to visit" "General, shall we use the tank division to concentrate firepower on the city wall?"  , this is a small city, and the city wall is in disrepair for a long time, and it is definitely not very strong. As long as the city wall is blasted, we can enter the city and capture the county seat. "Guo Zhong on the side remembered what Zhang Xinghan said before.  He suggested the method that had been used before.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said: "No, our target is not Fan County, but Puyang. Even if we can blast the tower wall and enter the city, we will not be able to end the battle for a while. And since the enemy has been prepared, it means that they  Already aware of our strategic intentions, I am afraid that the commander in the city is waiting for us to enter the city and use street fighting and melee to offset our army's artillery advantage, so as to better contain our army and delay time. " "What the chief said.  Yes, I think we should find a way to bypass Fan County and capture Puyang first. As long as we capture Puyang, Fan County will be defeated," Liu Jianguo said with deep understanding.  "Then how can we go around it? The road leading to Puyang is right next to the north of Fan County. To the south is the Yellow River. To the north, we have to go around a long way. If we force our way through, the defenders in the city will definitely open fire to stop us.  Yes, the cost of casualties to our army will be too high," Guo Zhong said worriedly.  "Yes, because Fan County is too close to the Yellow River, the soil here is soft. If we leave the official road, our car wheels will get stuck in the paddy fields on both sides, making it difficult to move. This is indeed a problem!" Liu Jianguo also frowned.  Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but stared at the head of Fan County City where the fierce battle was still going on and fell into deep thought.  Suddenly, Zhang Xinghan said: "Yes, I have a way." After speaking, Zhang Xinghan did not wait for Liu Jianguo to ask, and then ordered: "Jianguo, immediately order the troops to stop attacking, and all tank divisions will move to the north and northeast of the city, using machine guns to fight with Liu Jianguo.  The tanks and artillery launched a continuous volley of firepower at the city head, suppressing the defenders at the city head. The rest of the troops immediately followed the official road and bypassed Fan County and advanced towards Puyang." When Liu Jianguo heard this, he immediately shouted in praise.  : "Wonderful, this just gives full play to our army's firepower advantage. The defenders will definitely be defeated, and with our tank troops outside, the enemy will not dare to leave the city to counterattack. In this way, we can pass through Fan County easily and smoothly." "  Hum, no matter how tenacious the defenders are, and no matter how good their commanders are at defending the city, they cannot make up for the huge gap in weapons and equipment strength between the two sides," Zhang Xinghan snorted.  Soon, Zhang Xinghan's order was conveyed, and the two attacking infantry battalions ended the attack with heavy losses. More than 300 No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles from the tank division came forward and drove to about 500 meters away from the city wall.  They are lined up along the direction from the northeast of Fan County City to the north of the city.  As Zhang Xinghan’s order was conveyed to every tank commander’s ears via radio, more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles’ general-purpose machine guns opened fire one after another.  For a time, thousands of machine guns roared one after another, and a dense rain of bullets instantly enveloped the top of the city. People on the city wall were constantly shot and fell to the bottom of the city.  More defenders quickly lowered their heads and hid behind the walls, but they still felt the dense rain of bullets hitting the wall outside, causing mud and gravel to fall off.  “Bang, bang, bang…” The sound of dense bullets hitting and killing was so dull and depressing that it was almost suffocating.  For a time, the defenders at the head of the city were suppressed by the powerful machine gun firepower of the Northeast Army. Occasionally, the tank gunners of the Northeast Army were unwilling to be lonely and fired a few shots.  The defenders on the top of the city suffered heavy casualties. Feeling the rain of bullets flying overhead, no one dared to show their heads easily.  At this moment, the infantry regiments and rocket regiments outside the city came.  The baggage regiment and other troops began to circle around the northeast corner of the city and drove quickly toward Puyang along the road outside the north of the city.  After the defenders discovered this situation, they immediately reported it to Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lingfu, the commander of Fan County.  When Zhang Lingfu, who was born in the fourth phase of Huangpu, learned of this situation, he immediately led his guards to the top of the city despite a heavy rain of bullets. He saw the Northeastern Army outside the city swaggering through the north of the city.  Seeing this scene, Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but punched the ground with regret and said: "Zhang Xinghan is really cunning."You guys are so shameless. If you had known this, you should have laid more minefields on the roads.  "However, although Zhang Lingfu was only a little-known lieutenant colonel and battalion commander at this time, he showed extremely high military qualities and composure. He quickly descended from the top of the city and said to the adjutant beside him: "Give electricity to Puyang immediately.  The enemy has passed Fan County. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties and are unable to resist. Please strengthen our preparedness.  "(To be continued);

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 447: Encirclement and Reinforcement

    The Northeastern Border Guards all rode trucks and motorcycles, so it took less than half an hour to successfully pass through the northern section of Fan County Highway.  Occasionally, some of the defenders in the city risked their lives to raise their heads and shoot, but before they could take aim, they were beaten to a bloody sieve by the dense rain of bullets.  The remaining defenders had no choice but to watch the Northeastern Border Guards swaggering through the north of the city.  Subsequently, the tank divisions alternated cover and followed the first division in a rapid attack in the direction of Puyang.  …………… Puyang, stationed here is the headquarters of Wang Yaowu, the central army.  Wang Yaowu received a telegram directly from Nanjing in the afternoon. The telegram was sent by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in the name of the new Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi.  The content of the cable stated that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force was very likely to suddenly move westward and attack the Puyang and Xinxiang areas. Wang Yaowu's troops were specifically ordered to be vigilant and stand firm to await reinforcements.  After receiving the telegram, considering that Fan County was the eastern barrier of Puyang, Wang Yaowu sent his confidant Zhang Lingfu to lead a battalion to Fan County to hold on.  However, at night, we received an urgent call from the Taiqian County Security Brigade. A large number of Northeastern border guards crossed the border overnight and headed straight for Puyang.  Then he received an urgent telegram that Zhang Lingfu’s enemies had arrived in Fan County and were leading his troops in a fierce battle.  Wang Yaowu did not have enough troops, with less than 5,000 men. Adding in the troops stationed in Fan County and the battalion Zhang Lingfu had just brought, there were less than 3,000 to 5,000 men left in Puyang City.  Therefore, it was impossible to send reinforcements to ask for help, and Zhang Lingfu was really good. Although he was in urgent need of power generation, he did not mention the reinforcements.  But even so, Wang Yaowu was even more restless and restless. He was pacing back and forth in his headquarters, smoking cigarettes one after another.  The headquarters was filled with smoke, and the acrid smell of smoke filled the whole room.  Suddenly, a young and beautiful female communications soldier walked in. She frowned slightly at the pungent smell of smoke when she first entered.  He coughed softly, then resisted the pungent smoke, stepped in, stood up and saluted Wang Yaowu, and said: "Master, there is an urgent call from Fan County." "Oh?" Wang Yaowu quickly threw away the cigarette butt after hearing this and asked anxiously.  : "How is the situation?" The female communications soldier replied: "Commander Zhang Lingfu called and said that the enemy has a large number of tanks and armored troops and heavy artillery groups. The defenders refused to retreat and suffered heavy casualties. The enemy was dense and fierce with hundreds of tanks and chariots.  The firepower suppressed the city head and passed through the north road of the city. Our army was weak and weak in weapons, and was unable to stop it. Now the enemy has attacked Puyang. Please be on guard. Lingfu will collect the remaining troops and come later. " "What?  Passing through Fan County soon?" Wang Yaowu was shocked, and then shouted in a panic: "Send a message to Chief Hu immediately. The Northeast Frontier Defense Force has entered Puyang, and the situation is very critical. Please urge him to rush in as soon as possible!" "  Yes." The female communications soldier responded softly, then turned around and walked away.  Luoyang, First Army Headquarters.  Hu Zongnan was woken up from his sleep by his adjutant. Although the war in Hebei might have changes, he had to sleep, right?  "Adjutant Xiong, what's the matter, why are you calling me so late?" Hu Zongnan was obviously unhappy that his sleep was disturbed.  The adjutant said: "The main seat. The confidential office has just received an urgent telegram from General Wang Yaowu from Puyang. As expected, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force left Dezhou and marched westward along the Yellow River. It has now reached the Fan County area and is advancing towards Puyang."  "What? They came so fast?" Hu Zongnan was so shocked that he lost all sleep after hearing this. He immediately walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "When will the reinforcements we sent to Puyang arrive in Puyang?" "The fastest?"  Tomorrow afternoon too," the adjutant replied.  "No. Send electricity to the reinforcements and order them to arrive in Puyang before ten o'clock tomorrow. If they fail to do so, they will be dealt with according to military law. In addition, we will send a message to troops from Xinxiang and other places to quickly send reinforcements to Puyang. We must block the Northeast at all costs.  The army is a bunch of rebels!" Hu Zongnan ordered immediately.  "Yes." The adjutant quickly stood up and responded, then quickly took the order and left.  It was two o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo finally arrived in Puyang with an army of 30,000 troops.  Time was running out, so without any delay, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo ordered their troops to launch an attack.  The defenders were well prepared, and the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides soon entered a fierce stage, which was extremely brutal.  Zhang Xinghan’s temporary headquarters was set up in a dense forest two kilometers east of Puyang City.  In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo were discussing the military situation around the map. From time to time, violent explosions and that??Higher than a wave of shouts of death and gunfire.  Suddenly, a communications soldier walked in quickly, stood up and saluted the two of them and said: "Reporting to the main seat, division seat, we have just received an urgent telegram from the Secrecy Bureau." "What's the content? Read it quickly." Zhang Xinghan turned around and raised his head after hearing this.  Hand gesture.  "The message states that reinforcements from the enemy's 1st Group Army and troops stationed in Xinxiang and other places have been dispatched one after another and are heading towards Puyang for reinforcements. The Secret Bureau reminds me that the combat troops should be more vigilant and take precautions in advance," the communications soldier read.  After Zhang Xinghan heard this, he waved his hand to signal the communications troops to leave. Liu Jianguo said: "Chief Commander, it is obvious that the enemy already knows our strategic intentions, that's why they can react so quickly." "Yes, our intentions when we marched into Fan County  It has already been known to the enemy. The enemy's desperate efforts to stop us in Fan County are proof that we have done a good job. It seems that there are still some capable people in Nanjing, and they are not all just drunkards." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Liu Jianguo said: "Now that the enemy has learned of our purpose and has made preparations, won't it be impossible for us to complete our plan to complete the strategic encirclement of the Jinsui Army? Another point is that all the people fighting us are the central yāng army, and they are desperate  To stop us, does it prove that the Central Army has formed an alliance with the Jinsui Army? " "That's for sure, but to say that this will make me give up my hard-working battle plan is to underestimate me, Zhang Xinghan."  A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Aren't the enemies frantically rushing to Puyang for reinforcements? Then we will use Puyang as a bait to set up a encirclement for them to recruit reinforcements, and strive to inflict heavy losses on the central yāng army north of the Yellow River and completely disarm them.  We have no worries about attacking Jincheng." "Surrounding the area for reinforcements?" Liu Jianguo was a little confused.  .  "In this way, I will leave you a tank regiment and an infantry regiment, as well as the air defense regiment. You continue to besiege and attack Puyang, while I will lead the main force of the tank division and an infantry regiment to set up an ambush on the enemy's reinforcements.  Eat all the enemy's reinforcements. When we destroy all their reinforcements, Puyang City will be destroyed." Zhang Xinghan quickly made arrangements and ordered.  "Oh." Liu Jianguo nodded as if he didn't understand, and then stood up and promised: "Please rest assured, sir, I promise to complete the task." To say that the Secret Bureau of the Northeast Border Defense Army is indeed developing very fast now, it has surpassed Comrade Chiang Kai-shek  The long-term military command bureau.  This can be seen from the efficiency of their work. Not only did they obtain important information about the central army's reinforcements in Puyang, they even learned how many people the enemy had.  Which way is the closest and which way is far away can be clearly touched.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan was able to formulate a highly targeted combat plan.  The reason why the Secret Bureau has been able to grow to such a large scale and so quickly in just a few years is inseparable from Zhang Xinghan’s strong support in all aspects.  Because Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler, he understands the importance of intelligence better than any current warlord, so he should be prepared to do so if he has the conditions.  He did not hesitate to invest in the development of his own intelligence agency at any cost.  Now this intelligence department, which has spent countless energy and money, has finally brought its immeasurable huge rewards. They are the clairvoyance and ears of millions of Northeastern border guards.  With their help, Zhang Xinghan can win thousands of miles away and create miracles of victory that cannot be replicated again and again.  And in the future, the role of the Secrecy Bureau will continue. They will help the Chinese army win the battle of the century against the Western powers.  It has made an indelible contribution to the Chinese nation's rise to the top of the world.  The closest to Puyang is a Central Army infantry brigade from Changyuan County. After receiving an urgent telegram from Nanjing from Hu Zongnan during the day, they were ordered to set off. By now, they have arrived in the Wangu Town area, which is less than ten kilometers away from Puyang.  Zhang Xinghan decided to attack this infantry brigade first, so he ordered his troops to take advantage of their mobility and move south from Puyang. They collided head-on with this infantry brigade about two kilometers northeast of Wangu Town.  A tank regiment with hundreds of No. 4 tanks rushing towards the infantry brigade with unrivaled momentum like a flood from the Yellow River bursting its banks.  The dense rain of bullets and extremely powerful artillery shells fell into the unprepared infantry brigade crowd, knocking them down in pieces like mowing grass.  We were suddenly attacked by such a large tank force.  More than three thousand central troops were suddenly in chaos. Lacking anti-tank weapons, they were unable to withstand the rampage of the torrent of steel.  It didn’t take long for the whole front to be defeated and they retreated hastily. At this moment, another tank regiment arrived from both wings in two groups, and after a strafing bombardment.  This infantry brigade has lost more than half of its troops.  When they retreated back to the Eternal Town they had just passed through, they were greeted by hastily built sandbanks.?There are light and heavy machine guns behind bunkers and fortifications.  Unable to advance or retreat, the remnants of the infantry brigade, which suffered heavy losses, threw away their weapons and surrendered.  Almost without a fight, Zhang Xinghan defeated the reinforcements from Changyuan County.  Nearly two thousand prisoners were left behind with hundreds of people under guard.  Zhang Xinghan led his troops towards Xinxiang again.  After dawn, Puyang City, which had been fighting fiercely for half the night, finally calmed down, and the attacking troops finally stopped attacking.  Wang Yaowu, who had hardly slept all night, walked from the top of the city to his headquarters with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes.  Suddenly, there was a burst of anxious shouting from the front, which seemed to be calling the master to sit down.  Wang Yaowu raised his head and looked around, only to see the female communications soldier from his division trotting over anxiously.  "What's going on?" Seeing the messenger arriving in a hurry, Wang Yaowu couldn't help but feel an ominous feeling in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.  "Master, it's not good. The reinforcements from Xinxiang, Changyuan and other places were ambushed by the Northeastern Border Guards halfway last night. The reinforcements from the two divisions were completely wiped out." The female communications soldier said breathlessly.  "What?" Wang Yaowu was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "How could it be like this? Where did the Northeast Army come from?" "II" The female communications soldier hesitated and didn't know how to answer.  .  ???……………… Luoyang, First Army Headquarters.  Hu Zongnan was furious, and he was blushing and yelling: "Damn it, even if more than 20,000 pigs were left standing for the Northeast Army to kill, they couldn't kill them all in one night? You actually told me that their entire army was wiped out?"  The adjutant who came to report the military situation to Hu Zongnan was scolded so much that he bowed his head and remained silent.  ………………… In Nanjing, Chairman Chiang and Xiao Zhuge Bai Chongxi had just had breakfast and were planning to go to Luoyang together to command this joint anti-tension campaign.  Suddenly, a confidential officer in the attendant's room came over in a hurry. Wang Shihe came up to meet him. After the two exchanged a few words, Wang Shihe took the message from the confidential officer and turned towards Commissioner Chiang with a serious look on his face.  Come long.  Seeing that Wang Shihe looked strange, Chairman Chiang was puzzled, while Xiao Zhuge and Bai Chongxi felt a thump in their hearts, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.  "Shihe, where is the call coming from?" Chairman Jiang asked.  "Reporting to the main office, we just received an urgent call from Luoyang." Wang Shihe said.  "Read it quickly." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and instructed.  When Wang Shihe finished reading the telegram, Chairman Chiang's face was already very gloomy, while Bai Chongxi frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.  Overnight, 20,000 reinforcements were wiped out one after another, and the entire army was wiped out?  !  Moreover, he was the elite of his central army. The gloominess on Chairman Chiang's face could almost freeze.  "So, isn't Wang Yaowu's department trapped in a tight siege?" Chairman Jiang said.  "Yes." Wang Shihe nodded.  "Then quickly send electricity to Wang Yaowu and order him to immediately lead his troops to break out and abandon Puyang." Chairman Jiang said.  Bai Chongxi, who was silent on the side, hurriedly stopped when he heard the words: "Commissioner, you must not do it. The Northeast Frontier Defense Army has an amazing number of tank troops. Letting Wang Yaowu break out at this time is tantamount to letting him fall into a trap."  Was the unit eaten by Zhang Xinghan?" The corner of Chairman Jiang's mouth twitched.  Then he tried to calm down and said: "Jiansheng, please be more careful and think of a way to save the situation." Bai Chongxi shook his head helplessly and said: "We still underestimated Zhang Xinghan's ability. This man was able to count with  Thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and their armor was abandoned. They suffered heavy losses and were completely defeated. It was no accident that the 20,000-strong army was destroyed day and night. Puyang, Xinxiang and other places were almost empty cities. The only plan for now was to quickly telegraph Xu Tingyao's troops from Handan.  Hengshui and other places immediately went south, and then ordered the defenders in Xinxiang, Puyang and other places to stand firm and wait for help. See if Xu Tingyao can arrive before the city is broken, especially before the Northeast Army captures Jincheng. Whether the situation can be saved depends on Xu Tingyao.  ."(To be continued. (.).)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 448: Eat this new force

    Xu Tingyao, formerly known as Qiyao, also named Yuexiang.  A pioneer in developing towns in Wuwei County, Anhui Province.  Born on October 9, 1892.  In his early years, he studied at Wanjiang Middle School in Wuhu.  After graduating in 1912, he was admitted to the Wuchang Army Second Preparatory School.  In 1914, he was admitted to the infantry section of the third phase of Baoding Army Officer School and was incorporated into the fourth company. He was in the same section as Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi, Cai Tingkai and others.  He is currently the commander of the 17th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with the rank of general. Because he is both civilized and military, he has participated in hundreds of large and small battles since graduating from Baoding Army Officer School and has accumulated numerous military exploits, so he is highly regarded by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  The 17th Army is composed of the 4th Division of the National Revolutionary Army and the 25th Division, which was expanded from the Duli Brigade of the 4th Division.  So far, there are three divisions in total, namely the 2nd Division, the 4th Division, and the 25th Division. The commanders of each division are famous generals in history. They are Huang Jie, commander of the 2nd Division, Tang Enbo, commander of the 4th Division, and Tang Enbo, commander of the 4th Division.  The 25th Division Guan Linzheng, it is worth mentioning that the deputy commander of the 25th Division is Du Yuming.  The 17th Army alone has gathered several senior generals who are famous in history and have outstanding military exploits. It can be said that it is a gathering of stars.  You must know that Huang Jie, Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, and Du Yuming are all Chairman Chiang's confidants, and Xu Tingyao can be the commander of these people, which shows how much Chiang attaches importance to them.  With so many famous generals gathered together, they are also equipped with one of the best elite ace troops. The three divisions of the 17th Army are among the best in the battle sequence of the Central Army, regardless of equipment level, unit combat effectiveness, and the quality of their commanders and fighters.  When the Japanese invaded Rehe, Xu Tingyao was ordered to lead the 17th Army northward to defend North China.  Later, when the situation changed, he led his troops to station in the east of Hebei. Once in the south of Hebei, he became the only elite force of the Central Army north of the Yellow River.  From Xu Tingyao’s garrison, it is not difficult to see Chairman Chiang’s intention.  It was to restrict the development of Han Fuqu in Shandong and the Jinsui Army in Shanxi, and at the same time declare the actual control and presence of the national government in North China.  But now it has become the only fire brigade to deal with the Northeast Army and save the situation in Hebei.  At that time, Xu Tingyao's military headquarters was located in Handan, and his troops were scattered in Hengshui and other places. After receiving an emergency transfer order from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he  Xu Tingyao immediately ordered Huang Jie's 2nd Division, which was stationed in Handan with the military headquarters, to set off south at night to rush to support Puyang. At the same time, he telegraphed Hengshui Tang Enbo's troops, Xingtai Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's troops to set off immediately and rush south to help.  At the same time, Hu Zongnan also urgently dispatched reinforcements from all over the Central Plains to go north.  Because the battle situation in Puyang became extremely critical overnight, Xu Tingyao led the army and set off with Huang Jie.  Rush to the front line of Puyang.  The troops collected all available vehicles from Handan and other places and marched at full speed. They ran 59 kilometers to Anyang in only three hours.  On a mound on the north side of the highway in Anyang City, a group of adjutants such as Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie, all dressed in military uniforms, were taking a temporary nap on the mound.  Looking at the troops of our own who kept rushing past them on the road.  Huang Jie's brows showed concern about the unpredictable future of this battle.  Turning to Xu Tingyao, he said: "Military seat, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force is coming with great force this time. They have conquered Dezhou, Liaocheng and other cities in just a few days, causing our Central Army and Shandong Army to lose troops and generals. The fate of this battle is unpredictable."  A staff officer nodded sympathetically and said: "Yes, there are only two regiments of Wang Yaowu in Puyang now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on." Unlike the central army in the Central Plains, the 17th Army has been stationed in North China for a long time, and is different from the Northeast Frontier Army.  hear each other.  Therefore, they understand the strength of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force better than the former. In their view, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force is more powerful than the Japanese. This is a common view among many generals of the 17th Army.  Xu Tingyao straightened his military uniform and said solemnly: "You feed the emperor and worry about the emperor. As national soldiers, we should complete the tasks assigned to us by the leader with determination without fear of life and death. If we don't succeed, we will be benevolent!" "Order  The troops have to speed up their advance and must reach Puyang before dawn. " "Yes." A communications staff officer behind Huang Jie stood up and quickly turned around to take the order.  ??????………… After using encirclement to attack several reinforcements from the central army in Puyang City, Zhang Xinghan has taken the absolute initiative in the battle of Puyang and Xinxiang.  But now he is also facing a problem, that is, since Texas marched westward, the number of prisoners in his hands has exceeded 20,000.  Of the 20,000 central troops defeated last night, less than 1,000 were actually killed, more than 1,000 escaped, and 90% were captured.  Now Zhang Xinghan has nearly two divisions of prisoners in Puyang alone. The troublesome thing is that these prisoners are all his compatriots. If time permits, Zhang Xinghan will definitely transport them back to the rear, fully transform them, and completely transform them.?Convert into your own troops.  These are well-trained elites of the central military. With a little modification, they can become rare elite troops.  But now he is busy attacking Puyang, Xinxiang, Jincheng and other places, and has no time to transport these prisoners away.  It is definitely not possible to kill so many prisoners. They are not Japs or foreigners, but their true compatriots. No matter how tense the situation is with the top leaders of the Nanjing government, Zhang Xinghan cannot bring himself to attack these unarmed compatriots.  Letting go is not an option. The sudden release of so many prisoners can only have two consequences. The first is to escape back to a nearby city and be re-armed to fight against the Northeastern Border Guards. The second is to become stragglers who turn into bandits, robbing homes and harming one party.  .  Both of these results are not what Zhang Xinghan wants.  So after thinking about it, Zhang Xinghan decided to capture Puyang City first, first as a place to house these prisoners, and secondly, to leave a place for his troops to settle on the border of Hebei, Shanxi and Henan.  With the power of the tank division in his hands, even a hundred thousand central troops could not stop him in the field. Therefore, as long as Puyang is captured, it can become a stronghold for the army on the border of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend.  .  In the temporary headquarters located in the east of the city, Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo were redeploying their siege plan for Puyang.  Guo Zhong, who was ordered to take the guard battalion outside the city to shout for the surrender of the garrison in the city, hurried back.  "Zhongzi, what do you think, will Wang Yaowu agree to surrender?" Zhang Xinghan saw Guo Zhong coming back.  He asked casually. In fact, he did not really expect Wang Yaowu to lead his troops out of the city and surrender. This was just to further weaken the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city and lower their morale.  Sure enough, Guo Zhong shook his head with some guilt and said: "No. Wang Yaowu is a very stubborn bastard. Not only did he not surrender, he also ordered the machine gunners to shoot at us. Fortunately, the brothers hid quickly." "It seems that Wang Yaowu is against Principal Jiang.  Still very loyal," Liu Jianguo joked.  "Hahaha, in fact, it is not necessarily true. Chairman Chiang is still a veritable president of the National Government, and we may have become rebels in their eyes. Until the situation completely changes, these people will not give up easily against Chiang Kai-shek  It is also expected that the bald man refused to surrender." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he suddenly paused and said, "There is another possibility that Wang Yaowu refused to be photographed by our army and even took advantage of this.  There is no chance to delay. That is enough to show that there must be reinforcements coming to Puyang. Otherwise, if Wang Yaowu does not surrender, he should lead his troops to break out at night. "Guo Zhong was a little surprised and said with admiration."  Commander-in-Chief Yingming, I just happened to meet Communications Corpsman Xiao Li when he came back. He said that he had just received the latest intelligence message from the Security Bureau, and I would forward it to him. " "What is the content of the message?" Zhang Xinghan asked urgently.  "According to intelligence, Hu Zongnan is transferring troops stationed in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places to assemble urgently. He is preparing to cross the Yellow River north again for reinforcements. In addition, Xu Tingyao's troops stationed in Hengshui, Handan, Xingtai and other places suddenly gathered one after another last night.  The Secrecy Bureau estimates that it may have received an emergency military order. Not long ago, the latest information sent by agents from the Secrecy Bureau's Anyang branch to the Secrecy Bureau headquarters confirmed that the Huang Jie Department of the 2nd Division of the 17th Army stationed in Handan arrived in Anyang overnight.  He paused and continued southward, obviously coming to help Puyang," Guo Zhongdao said.  "Xu Tingyao? The 17th Army?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan quickly unfolded a corner of the rolled up map, found Handan and other places, and said openly: "He really dares to move, but judging from the current situation, the Nanjing government is here  Hebei has only one fresh force available. " "Chief Commander, according to my understanding, Xu Tingyao's three divisions of the 17th Army are all elite members of the Central Army, and their strength cannot be underestimated. If they really arrive in Puyang, there will be more.  The central yāng army reinforced by the Central Plains is attacking from the north and the south. With the strength we have now, the situation may really become unoptimistic." Liu Jianguo saw Zhang Xinghan frowning after hearing what he said, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying that.  The 17th Army can defeat our army, but with their participation, our plan to capture Puyang, Xinxiang and Jincheng may be delayed. According to the intelligence provided by the Secret Bureau, there are hundreds of thousands of Guangxi cliques in Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Guangxi.  The army is moving north quickly. Once the war drags on until they arrive, it may be difficult for our army to complete the strategic plan to encircle the Shanxi-Sui Army." Zhang Xinghan nodded unequivocally and said, "Jianguo, you are very analytical.  It makes sense, so we must kill this 17th Army and eat Chairman Chiang’s last remaining force in Hebei. "Huh? Eat the 17th Army?" Liu Jianguo said in surprise."General, we have nearly 20,000 prisoners now, and we have to divide our forces to besiege Puyang. The three divisions of the 17th Army are all Category A divisions, with at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops. Is this possible?"  " Zhang Xinghan said with confidence: "There is no question of whether it can be done or not, only whether you dare or not. You all think so. Xu Tingyao will even think that our army is insufficient. Coupled with Wang Yaowu's constant distress and the Nanjing government's urgent order of 100,000, it will inevitably happen.  Speed ??up the march to reach the destination as soon as possible, so that the vigilance will inevitably relax, and our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. " Zhang Xinghan continued: "Pass me to order the troops to assemble immediately and prepare for battle. In addition, I sent a message to Gao Zhihang to dispatch tomorrow morning.  Bomber brigade, blow up the Yellow River railway bridge for me, and another Zero fighter plane will fly along the Yellow River within three hundred miles from east to west, blocking the river and not giving Hu Zong the chance to cross the river to the north. " ps: Happy New Year's Day to all my book friends, stay with me today!  My family has been playing for a day and there is no coding, so there is only this update. There will be three updates tomorrow to compensate, thank you!   

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 449: Defeat All Famous Generals Part 1

    "Yes." Seeing Zhang Xinghan so confident, Liu Jianguo couldn't help but ignite his passion. Fighting with the chief officer was so exciting and heroic.  No matter whether he single-handedly turned the tide of the September 18th Incident, or today, he is galloping through the Central Plains and making a name for himself overseas, they are all so hearty.  "Since Wang Yaowu has become a frightened bird, and the 17th Army is indeed an elite force directly related to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and is commanded by Xu Tingyao, a famous general with both wisdom and courage, it should not be underestimated.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan only left an air defense regiment and an infantry regiment for Liu Jianguo. The rest of the 1st Division's directly affiliated guard battalion, reconnaissance battalion and other troops were all transferred and went north to ambush Huang Jie's 2nd Division.  Although a regiment of a type A division such as the 1st Reorganized Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army has 3,000 people, plus the air defense regiment has 6,000 people.  But Liu Jianguo also had to take care of the nearly 20,000 central army prisoners and besieged the city, so his troops were stretched thin.  "If Wang Yaowu dares to lead his troops to fight back at this time, Liu Jianguo will not have enough troops to take care of the situation, and nearly 20,000 prisoners will inevitably mutiny, and the situation is likely to be reversed.  Of course, all this is only based on the premise that Wang Yaowu has such courage and has the intelligence on the transfer of the main force of the Northeast Army.  Just in case, Liu Jianguo used the powerful firepower of the air defense regiment (equipped with a towed 88mm anti-aircraft gun and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns) supplemented by a small number of infantry to besiege Puyang City.  The entire main force of the infantry regiment was used to guard the 20,000 prisoners.  ?????………………… Let’s talk about it later. Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie led the 2nd Division southward from Anyang overnight. After a rapid march along the way, their leading troops were about one battalion.  Take the lead in crossing Tangyin and heading straight to Puyang.  Zhang Xinghan, named Guo Zhong, led the guard battalion and the reorganized 1st Division guard battalion. The reconnaissance battalion, with a total of about 2,000 people, was the vanguard and marched northwest from Puyang.  The vanguard of Huang Jie's troops encountered Wagang Town on the border from Puyang to Tangyin.  Every pioneer.  It must be elite. Although Huang Jie's vanguard unit only has one battalion, it is one of the most elite infantry battalions in the division.  Not only is it well-equipped and well-trained, but it is also equipped with cars and motorcycles for transportation. Therefore, this battalion can serve as a vanguard and leave the main force of the division far behind.  But this elite battalion never had the chance to rush to Puyang to join Wang Yaowu.  What they encountered was Zhang Xinghan's ace guard troops who were better equipped and more powerful in combat.  And the number of troops is twice as much. As the guard battalion and reconnaissance battalion of the reorganized first division, although their combat power is not as good as that of Guo Zhong's direct guard battalion, they are still absolutely elite.  It’s the same encounter.  The outcome of the war was doomed from the beginning.  Even though the company commander of the central military camp was very brave and good at fighting, and his troops were trapped in a tight siege, he still shouted "Long live Principal Jiang" and fought to the death, but he could not make up for the huge gap in the strength, equipment and firepower of the two sides.  The fierce battle lasted for about half an hour.  This elite battalion of 600 people was completely eaten by Guo Zhong.  The battalion commander died in the battle, and several company commanders were also injured and died.  Most of the remaining officers and soldiers had no choice but to surrender.  As soon as the battle ended, Zhang Xinghan rushed up with the main force, and Guo Zhong came over to report the results and damage.  Zhang Xinghan said with a slightly moved expression: "It seems that the Huangpu Clan's central army should not be underestimated. We have an absolute advantage in strength and equipment, but we actually suffered more than 200 casualties?!" Guo Zhong also nodded and said: "No way.  I don't admit it, but the Central Army's fight just now is not comparable to that of Han Fuqu's Shandong Army. They are actually not bad, especially the commander who was killed by us. He has a considerable military level, and he is not bad at all.  Not afraid of death." Zhang Xinghan nodded silently. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal for such a situation to occur. At this time, the Japanese did not launch a full-scale war of aggression against China as they did in history.  Therefore, the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, which greatly damaged the strength of the Central Army of the National Revolutionary Army with the Huangpu Clique as its backbone, would not have happened.  Take Xu Tingyao’s 17th Army as an example. Its 2nd Division, 4th Division and 25th Division are all the most elite troops in the country.  From the fact that Huang Jie, Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, and Guan Linzheng are still division commanders and deputy division commanders, it is not difficult to see that the regimental and battalion level cadres below them are definitely outstanding officers from the Huangpu clique.  There are definitely veterans among them who have participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition. In time, these outstanding mid-level and junior officers will grow into outstanding generals leading the army.  In history, if it were not for the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing would have been the central task of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.If the losses of the outstanding grassroots officers of the Huangpu Clan in the Yangtze Army are too serious.  The subsequent Anti-Japanese War did not need to be fought so hard, and the country's combat effectiveness would not drop so sharply.  At the beginning of the war, German weapon divisions could basically compete with Japan's most elite standing divisions at the time, but by the end of the War of Resistance, an army could not even compete with the second- and third-rate Japanese divisions and brigades.  For details, please refer to the great defeat of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi in the 33rd year of the Republic of China.  What is the reason for this?  It is because although the army of the Communist Party of China expanded rapidly at that time, the vast number of outstanding middle-level and grass-roots officers who were the backbone and soul of the army were no longer there.  Without the leadership and coordination of these outstanding backbones with faith and military literacy, the troops that were hastily formed by recruiting young men lacked even the most basic training. How could they be a wolf-like opponent of the Japanese on the battlefield?  ?  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan realized the importance of these outstanding grassroots officers. It is no exaggeration to say that they will be the pillars and hope of the Chinese nation's future army.  As a Chinese citizen, Zhang Xinghan must not let these stars of future hope fall under his hands.  At that moment, Zhang Xinghan told Guo Zhong and others: "In future battles, capture as many prisoners as possible, especially officers, and never harm their lives." Although Guo Zhong and others did not understand Zhang Xinghan's intention, they still stepped forward one after another.  swear.  Although he gave instructions to his subordinates, Zhang Xinghan knew.  Once a war breaks out, and bullets have no eyes, who can guarantee zero losses?  If possible, Zhang Xinghan would not want to fight with the central army.  Zhang Xinghan also hopes to take them to fight against powerful foreign enemies for the rise and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.  These are the best soldiers in China today. They should not wither in the smoke of fratricide. Even if they are sacrificed and shed blood, their blood should be left in foreign wars to be the most worthwhile.  “However, if we want to complete the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as soon as possible, we must integrate domestic forces as quickly as possible, and work together to deal with the outside world, regardless of diplomacy, politics, and military.  Declaring war on Japan would first kill the Japanese's chance of rising again.  Completely solve the biggest obstacle to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, compete with Western powers, expand the living space of the Chinese nation, and benefit future generations.  Therefore, he must eat the new force of the 17th Army.  Then eat the entire Jinsui army.  With the momentum of great victory, Chairman Chiang was forced to sit at the negotiating table.  In order to prevent the bloody battle like that from happening again, Zhang Xinghan thought about it and had a plan in mind.  ??Immediately summoned Guo Zhong and other officers to give secret instructions, and the officers quickly took their orders and left.  <> r />……………… In Tangyin County, its vanguard battalion had been eaten up by the Northeast Border Guards for an hour before the main force of the 2nd Division, which lacked vehicles, arrived in Tangyin.  At this time, Tangyin City was less than 70 kilometers away from Puyang. As the commander of the 17th Army, Xu Tingyao thought about the overall situation, maybe because of the other two main divisions of the 17th Army.  Before the 4th Division and the 25th Division arrived, they set up their military headquarters in Tangyin City.  Ordered Huang Jie, commander of the 2nd Division, to personally lead his troops to rescue Puyang and join Wang Yaowu.  Originally, according to Xu Tingyao’s status as the commander of an army, it was understandable that the division commander Huang Jie would personally lead the team to the front line and sit fifty kilometers away to command the battle remotely.  However, at this time, several divisions of the 17th Army were not equipped with all the German weapons in history in 1937. Radio stations were only equipped at the division and brigade level, and communication at the regiment and battalion level still relied on telephone lines to communicate with troops.  Soldiers convey.  This will inevitably cause Xu Tingyao, as the commander, to be unable to grasp the latest battle situation on the front line and the situations encountered by his troops in a timely manner, so as to make appropriate response commands as quickly as possible.  Huang Jie’s vanguard camp was eaten, and the fact that Xu Tingyao and Huang Jie are still kept in the dark is the best evidence of this.  Under such circumstances, Huang Jie (it is worth mentioning that Huang Jie was a graduate of the first batch of Huangpu and participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition. He was Chairman Chiang's favorite disciple and confidant. Historically, he had served as an official in the Army.  First-level general. ) set off with his troops.  Huang Jie's troops were about ten kilometers away from Tangyin County. Suddenly, the vanguard troops in front reported that they encountered several defeated soldiers from the vanguard battalion.  Huang Jie called him to ask, and several defeated soldiers told the truth: "Master, we have encountered the Northeast Army. The battalion commander is leading his brothers to fight bloody battles with the enemy. Now they are surrounded by the enemy in Wagang Town. A few of us  Risk your life to break through and ask the commander to send reinforcements as soon as possible. If it is too late, it will be too late." Huang Jie turned around and asked a colonel commander who sent out the vanguard battalion: "Is this the leader of the vanguard camp?"After looking at it, he nodded and pointed at one of the defeated soldiers and said: "Yes, I have met this guy in the Second Battalion before. He is a soldier of the Second Battalion." After receiving the confirmation from his subordinates, Huang Jie no longer had any doubts and immediately ordered the troops  Speed ??up the advance and reinforce the vanguard battalion.  Two kilometers outside Wagang Town, on a high slope, Zhang Xinghan said a little worriedly: "Zhongzi, can the few people you selected do it?"  The purpose of being a soldier is to have enough food and some money to spend. I gave them so much money, and there were other prisoners who witnessed it, they couldn't help but mention that we worked hard. And just in case, I also arranged for two people.  If a skilled person is among them, nothing will happen to him," Guo Zhong promised, patting his chest.  "Well, that's good." Zhang Xinghan looked into the distance with some expectancy and said: "Xu Tingyao's 17th Army's famous generals gathered together, most of them are Chairman Chiang's favorite disciples. This time I will defeat them one by one and teach them what  A true star. " PS: Stay up late to type, one chapter will be posted first, and there will be two more chapters during the day.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War, Chapter 450: Defeat All Famous Generals (Part 2)

    While the two were talking, a signal soldier rushed from afar. He saluted Zhang Xinghan panting and reported: "Commander, here we come, the enemy is coming." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan looked excited and said to Guo Zhong: "Brother, let's go."  Let's get ready." "Yes." Guo Zhong immediately took the order and left. Not long after, continuous and intensive gunfire was heard in Wagang Town, sometimes accompanied by deafening explosions.  "Quick, quick, speed up." On the road one kilometer away from the Northeast Army's ambush site, Huang Jie's officer, who could already hear the faint sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from Wagang Town ahead, urged hurriedly.  subordinates.  "General, the enemy's march is very long. We only need to cut them off at the waist. They will be unable to see each other from head to tail, and their positions will be in chaos. We can easily defeat them." Behind the slope, Guo Zhong looked at the telescope for a while.  He said to Zhang Xinghan.  If the opponent is the Japanese army, Zhang Xinghan will not hesitate to order the tank troops to block both sides and break through in the middle, trying to annihilate this unit in one fell swoop.  But they are ***, the best group of soldiers in China at the moment. All they lack are advanced weapons and equipment and tactical command.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan will not kill them. It is enough to defeat them, destroy their combat power, and make them unable to reinforce the Puyang battlefield in a short period of time.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan completely followed Guo Zhong's suggestion and immediately issued the order to attack.  About one regiment plus three guard and reconnaissance battalions of infantry suddenly opened fire from the ambush bunkers on both sides of the road.  Two tank regiments came from the direction of Wagang Town and were suddenly ambushed. The officers and soldiers of the 2nd Division were caught off guard. However, their officers still tried to save the situation and directed their men to launch a counterattack towards the ambush positions on both wings.  However, they encountered intensive firepower and failed miserably.  At this time, hundreds of tanks and chariots rumbled along the road, and countless ordinary 2nd Division soldiers were terrified.  No longer listening to the officers' orders, they turned around and fled, and their troops were defeated like mountains.  When Huang Jie, who was in the rear of the army, was suddenly ambushed, he shouted that he had been fooled. He immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team to escape towards Tangyin County, and at the same time ordered the vanguard regiment to block the rear.  But unfortunately, after his vanguard regiment encountered a fierce firepower ambush from the Northeast Army, it was also charged by a large number of tanks and chariots from the Northeast Army.  At this time, the troops were completely in chaos.  The infantry could not find officers, and officers could not organize effective command.  Those who ran slowly dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands raised in surrender. Those who ran fast accelerated and ran towards the road they came from.  Huang Jie’s order was simply not implemented.  Although Huang Jie's troops are the elite of the central army, they are still far from fully mechanized equipment.  How could most soldiers outrun the Northeastern Army's car wheels and tanks with just their feet?  Half an hour later, two more tank regiments came out of the diagonal spurs on the road, cutting the main force of Huang Jie's 2nd Division into three sections. At the same time, the pursuing Northeast Army troops also arrived.  The main force of the 2nd Division, which was blocked between two tank regiments, was trapped in a tight siege, and the division commander Huang Jie was also among them.  On the contrary, the division's baggage, artillery and other directly-affiliated troops who were originally following behind fell into the encirclement and escaped by chance.  Facing 300 Panzer IV tanks and combat vehicles, thousands of men were besieged like wolves and tigers.  The main force of the 2nd Division, including the division headquarters, was quickly depleted. Except for a few casualties, most of them became prisoners of the Northeast Border Guard.  As the commander of the 2nd Division, Huang Jie took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and only escaped with his own life.  Tangyin County, 17th Army Headquarters After Huang Jie led his troops to set off, Xu Tingyao ordered people to send electricity to Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng, urging the 4th Division and the 25th Division to come as soon as possible.  Marching all night, Xu Tingyao stayed up all night.  But he is still full of energy and is thinking about the battle plan around the map.  An adjutant poured him a cup of hot water and brought it over, and said with concern: "Military, you haven't slept all night, do you want to take a rest?" Xu Tingyao took the hot water, took a sip and said, "No, I  I’m not tired yet. The battle in Puyang is urgent, so we should work harder.” The adjutant nodded and stepped aside.  Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps outside.  Xu Tingyao, who was drinking water, stopped.  Looking up, he saw two unkempt officers from our own army, covered in blood and in ragged clothes, running in.  The two of them were walking quickly and staggering unsteadily. When Xu Tingyao saw them, he felt something was wrong and his heart tightened.  "Huh? It's Captain Wang of the 2nd Division's Baggage Team." The adjutant next to him knew one of the lieutenant colonels and asked, "What happened to Captain Wang? Why are you here?"&nbsp; The lieutenant colonel captain surnamed Wang came to Xu Tingyao, fell to his knees with his companion, and said with a cry: "Military seat, we were ambushed by the Northeast Army, and the troops were scattered.  The master is also trapped in a tight siege. "What?" Even though he was mentally prepared, Xu Tingyao was still shocked. The 2nd Division was trapped in a tight siege.  Even Huang Jie’s life and death are unknown?  How can this be.  Xu Tingyao, who couldn't believe it, immediately asked: "Where were you attacked? General Huang Jie has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he be so careless and fall into the ambush of the Northeast Army?" Captain Wang cried bitterly and said that the 2nd Division had been fooled.  The incident of the ambush was reported to Xu Tingyao in detail.  After hearing this, Xu Tingyao felt a little dazed. The Northeast Army was really cunning and difficult to deal with.  While feeling heartbroken, Xu Tingyao suddenly remembered something and said in confusion: "Our army's secret southern transfer is a top-secret military order. Why would the Northeast Army know our whereabouts in advance?" The adjutant next to him also said with a look of surprise.  : "What does the military officer mean that there is a traitor within us?" Xu Tingyao nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out." "It's hateful that such an important military secret order was leaked so easily, leading to the annihilation of the entire 2nd Division. It's really hateful."  Xu Tingyao gritted his teeth and said.  "Military seat, the 4th Division and the 25th Division have just arrived in Handan. Now the 2nd Division has been completely wiped out. The military seat here is too dangerous. We should evacuate as soon as possible." The adjutant suddenly became nervous and reminded hurriedly.  You don’t need to think about it to know that it is impossible to completely wipe out the tens of thousands of people in the 2nd Division. Many people must have surrendered and become prisoners. These people may give out the news about Xu Tingyao in Tangyin County at any time.  Once it was learned that Xu Tingyao's military headquarters was in Tangyin and there were not many troops around him, even a fool from the Northeast Army on the opposite side knew what action to take.  However, the adjutant’s reminder was still a step too late. It can also be said that the Northeast Border Guard’s Secret Bureau’s intelligence was one step ahead of them.  Before planning to ambush Huang Jie's 2nd Division, Zhang Xinghan learned important information about Xu Tingyao's military headquarters in Tangyin County through members of the Secret Bureau hidden in Tangyin.  So ambushing Huang Jie was only part of his battle plan.  As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, another officer rushed in from the outside with a panicked expression.  Before he could salute, he shouted: "Military seat, what's wrong, a large number of Northeastern Army tanks suddenly appeared outside the city, and we are surrounded." "What?" Xu Tingyao was shocked and the water cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the ceramic iron jar crashed.  There was a loud noise, and the outer enamel chipped to pieces.  The adjutant was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked the visitor: "How many enemies are there? Why didn't we give advance warning to the security posts we arranged outside the city? We actually let the enemies arrive at the city like this." The visitor said with a sad face: "A few security posts, I guess  They were killed by the Northeastern Army, otherwise there would be no chance that there would be any news." The adjutant's face was livid, and he turned to ask Xu Tingyao: "Military, what should we do? Should we order the 4th Division and the 25th Division quickly?  Reinforcements?" Xu Tingyao fell into silence. As a veteran, Xu Tingyao certainly wanted Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to come immediately for reinforcements.  But there are two difficult problems before him now. The first is whether Zhang Xinghan will repeat his old tricks and use Xu Tingyao's military headquarters as bait to encircle but not attack, inducing him to urge the 4th and 25th Divisions to catch up.  They came to reinforce, but they set up an ambush in the middle to eat the two last remaining troops of the 17th Army.  Second, even if he orders Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to immediately go south for reinforcements, can the guard battalion around him and the thousands of Tangyin County security teams be able to withstand the fierce attacks of the Northeast Army and persist until  Are reinforcements coming?  These two points were what Xu Tingyao thought of in a flash during his military life.  But now he is in a dilemma. By not allowing the 4th Division and the 25th Division to come for reinforcements, he can certainly avoid the risk of an ambush, but Xu Tingyao himself will be in danger.  Whether he was captured or committed suicide, Xu Tingyao was unwilling to face it. After all, he was also a human being, not a god. He was also afraid of death, and he did not want to be a prisoner of Zhang Xinghan. This was not only about his dignity as a soldier, but also about his dignity as a soldier.  It is related to your future future and reputation.  Having followed Chairman Chiang for many years, he knows very well that although Chairman Chiang likes capable and loyal ministers and generals, he is also extremely suspicious.  It is not difficult to imagine that once you are captured, it will never be so easy to gain such respect from Chairman Chiang in the future.  Seeing that Xu Tingyao was silent, the adjutant was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, urging: "Sir, don't hesitate, order Tang En immediately."?Tell General Guan Linzheng to quickly reinforce you. In any case, the military seat is the first among the soldiers of the three armies, and your safety is more important than anything else.  " Xu Tingyao, who was in a dilemma, did not realize that what his adjutant said was that he was the commander of the 17th Army and the leader of the three armies. Even if he did not let Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others take risks to save him, then  Once he is captured or killed, it will inevitably cause a serious blow to the morale of the entire 17th Army. Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng, who are leaderless and fearful of the Northeast Army, are likely to adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards this battle.  , from the moment Zhang Xinghan led his troops to surround Xu Tingyao, the outcome was already determined. Zhang Xinghan resolved the possible interference of the 17th Army to his combat plan in one battle, and there was no need to worry about it anymore (To be continued)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 451: Defeat All Famous Generals Part 2

    In the end, Xu Tingyao weighed again and again and chose the latter between personal safety and military matters.  "Adjutant Qin, send electricity to the 4th Division and the 25th Division, and ask them to stop going south immediately and station themselves in Anyang and Handan." As soon as Xu Tingyao said this, all the officers present changed their minds.  The adjutant surnamed Qin was even more frightened and said: "Military officer, is your safety in this way?"  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing sent electricity to help Puyang. Unfortunately, he fell into the enemy's plot and was defeated and surrounded. For the sake of the party and the country's overall plan and the overall situation of the campaign, he humbly decided to lead his troops to defend Puyang to the last soldier in order to prevent the Battle of Puyang from happening again.  , before the enemy's situation is clear, do not order Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng's troops to rush to the rescue" The adjutant had no choice but to bow his head and said: "Yes" and then took the order and left.  …………… In Anyang County, Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming led the main force of their troops to finally arrive in Anyang from Hengshui after a night of rapid march.  Like the 2nd Division, due to the urgency of the battle on the front line, Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming did not even plan to enter Anyang City, so they led their troops around the city.  The main force had almost all passed through Anyang County, and a communications soldier hurried to Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming with a radio on his back.  He stood up and saluted the two of them and said: "Master, deputy, the military is in urgent need of a call." Du Yuming reached out to take the telegram and read it hastily, his expression suddenly changed. Guan Linzheng on the side saw Du Yuming like this and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Guang Linzheng"  Brother Ting, what's wrong?" Du Yuming suddenly raised his head and said: "Huang Jie's 2nd Division was ambushed in the Wagang Town area and the entire army was wiped out. Huang Jie's life and death are unknown. Now the military headquarters is surrounded by heavy troops from the Northeast Army in Tangyin County.  There is only one guard battalion around the military seat. "What?" Guan Linzheng's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Huang Dayun is a veteran general in the army, how could he fall into an ambush so easily?"  . And the whole army was wiped out? Is the combat strength of the Northeast Army so terrifying?" (Huang Dayun, alias Huang Jie.) "What did the military command say in the message, did it ask us to immediately reinforce Tangyin County?  "Guan Linzheng asked quickly.  Du Yuming shook his head and said: "No, the military commander not only refused to let us reinforce, but ordered us to stop our advance immediately and station ourselves in Anyang on standby." After speaking, Du Yuming handed the message in his hand to Guan Linzheng.  After Guan Linzheng took the telegram and read it over, he sighed: "The military officer is really far-sighted. He can put the overall situation first and not care about personal safety. He is really a role model for us. We must not sit back and watch him fall into danger and ignore it."  " Du Yuming nodded in agreement with his proposal, and Guan Linzheng continued: "Brother Guangting, I think we should notify Tang Enbo immediately and ask him to quickly join us and gather the troops of our two divisions to rush south together.  Tangyin County, even if the Northeast Army cannot be defeated, it will not be a problem to support the army to break through. "What do you think?" Du Yuming pondered for a while and said: "Master Tang Enbo is not willing to risk going south.  We must have received this telegram from the Military Seat. He must have received it as well. At that time, he can completely excuse himself on the grounds that the Military Seat has a telegram. " "Then what should we do?  Falling into trouble and ignoring it?" Guan Linzheng said.  "That's not true. The military commander must be saved." Du Yuming said.  "However, the military commander's concerns in the message are not unreasonable. The enemy's situation is unknown. If we head south rashly with only one division of ours, I'm worried that it may be taken advantage of by the enemy." Guan Linzheng said with some worry.  "Therefore, we should immediately send a message to the commissioner and ask him to come forward. With the commission's order, Tang Enbo will not dare not follow our actions." Du Yuming said clearly.  Guan Linzheng thought for a while.  He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said, Guangting, and the communications troops will send me electricity right away." …………… Outside Tangyin County.  "General headquarters, according to the information returned by our reconnaissance aircraft and intelligence personnel, the enemy's 25th Army has arrived in Anyang, and the 4th Division has arrived in Handan. But strangely, they did not rush south for reinforcements, but stopped advancing.  They are on standby at the two places mentioned above." Guo Zhong asked in confusion: "Have they not received the request for help from the enemy in the city?" Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully: "I'm afraid it's not that they have not received the request for help from Xu Tingyao.  , but Xu Tingyao didn't ask for help at all." "Huh?" Guo Zhong said in confusion: "What does this mean? Xu Tingyao is now in a tight siege, and his 2nd Division has been completely defeated by us.?, it stands to reason that if he wants to get out of trouble, he can only place his hope on Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng. There is no reason not to let them come for reinforcements.  " "Because Xu Tingyao has guessed that we are going to encircle the point for reinforcements, so he ordered Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to give up their reinforcements.  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. "Oh.  Guo Zhong said with some admiration: "This Xu Tingyao is really selfless. Isn't he afraid of death?"  "    "hehe.  Zhang Xinghan smiled brightly and said: "Zhongzi, remember that no one in this world is not afraid of death. It's just that sometimes, some things will force people to choose death. At this time, life is not so important."  " "Chief Commander, if the enemy doesn't take the bait, what should we do?  Should we order the 2nd Regiment to attack immediately and capture Xu Tingyao alive?  "Guo Zhong asked. "Don't worry, just wait.  "Zhang Xinghan is still a little unwilling to let go of Tang Enbo's 4th Division and Guan Linzheng's 25th Division. If these two divisions are not resolved, Zhang Xinghan always feels like a kind of crisis and discomfort.  , these two divisions took advantage of his westward march to Xinxiang and Jincheng, and suddenly made a move in the back, which would be very bad. Therefore, if there is a chance to eat these two divisions, Zhang Xinghan is willing to waste it.  Wait and see some time. …………… In Xuchang City, Chairman Chiang was concerned about the war situation in Hebei. He and Bai Chongxi took a plane from Nanjing and flew to Xuchang quickly at the risk of being shot down by the Northeast Air Force. In fact, Zhang Xinghan did not.  He planned to really kill Chairman Chiang, so that he would be convicted of being a war criminal for provoking the civil war. With his own strength, he could force Chairman Chiang to sit down for negotiations in a head-on confrontation, and finally step down and leave.  There is absolutely no need for the core power circle of the National Government to take the risk of damaging their own prestige by sending out surprise troops to kill him. Otherwise, with the current powerful strength of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force's air force and navy, there are still many ways to raid Chairman Chiang's residence.  Chairman Chiang and Bai Chongxi and his party had just settled down at the Xuchang camp. Before they had time to take a shower and rest, they received the latest battle reports from Xu Tingyao, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others. They read the battle reports and learned about the latest developments in the war in Hebei.  After having a detailed understanding, Chairman Jiang frowned and said displeasedly: "What did Yunda do this time?  They were defeated so easily by the Northeastern Army.  ” As mentioned earlier, Huang Jie is the first graduate of Huangpu and a favorite disciple of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. He has experienced many battles and won the respect of Chairman Chiang. It is precisely because of this that Chairman Chiang did not become furious, but just slightly  After a few words of displeasure, he didn’t go into details. If it had been anyone else, Chairman Jiang might have jumped up to the height of three feet in anger. Bai Chongxi said with a solemn expression: “This Northeastern Army.  The battle was swift and fierce, cunning and changeable. Looking at the Northeastern Army, no one except Zhang Xinghan could easily defeat Huang Jie's 2nd Division and put Xu Tingyao in a tight siege. Therefore, Zhang Xinghan must have led the army in person.  Huang Jie didn't complain about his defeat.  " After complaining with dissatisfaction and hearing what Bai Chongxi said again, Chairman Chiang really had nothing to say and directly asked Xiao Zhuge, who was still frowning in thought: "Jiansheng, since Zhang Xinghan is personally leading the army, now Yuexiang  Being trapped in a tight siege, what do you think of his arrangements?  To save or not to save?  Bai Chongxi pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Yuexiang is a veteran general in the army. He has made great military exploits for the party and the country. He also manages the army well and is deeply loved by the 17th officers and soldiers. If he refuses to save him, I am afraid it will be unpopular. Some people  Damage the prestige of the committee.  " "Then Jiansheng means to save?  "Chairman Chiang said with a worried look on his face: "But Yuexiang also said in the telegram that he is now trapped in a heavy siege. The Northeast Army deliberately surrounded and refused to attack, intending to use him as a bait to ambush Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng. If agreed,  Isn't it true that Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's request played into the hands of the Northeast Army?  Moreover, Zhang Xinghan is cunning and sinister, so he has to be on guard against him.  " Bai Chongxi said worriedly: "Commissioner, in fact, what I am worried about now is not whether Xu Tingyao can be rescued, but the overall victory or defeat of the entire battle.  Now that we already know the purpose of Zhang Xinghan's encirclement and reinforcements, we can order Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng to join forces, be more vigilant, and advance towards Tang Yin. If they encounter an attack or ambush by the Northeastern Army, the entire army will immediately huddle together and attack.  The ground defended.  The Northeastern Army is short of troops and cannot help them, so as long as they advance in this way, they will eventually be able to reach Tangyin County. Even if they cannot defeat the Northeastern Army, there is still no big problem in supporting Xu Tingyao to break through.  What really worries me is that Zhang Xinghan is as cunning as a fox, Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others are no match for him. During the rescue processHe seized the opportunity to attack and defeated the two main divisions in one fell swoop.  According to Hu Zongnan’s call, Zhang Xinghan ordered the Northeast Frontier Army Air Force to take off a large number of fighter planes to block the three hundred miles of waters of the Yellow River, so that reinforcements from Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places could not go north.  If the 17th Army is completely defeated again, then we will no longer have the power in Hebei to restrain Zhang Xinghan from completing the strategic blockade of Shanxi.  "(To be continued. (.).)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 452: Zhang Lingfu again

    After listening to Bai Chongxi's worried analysis, Chairman Chiang finally understood the conflicting helplessness in his heart.  If Bai Chongxi had come to the front line to command these two divisions so that he could adapt to changes, he would have been able to rescue Xu Tingyao's 17th Army Headquarters from Zhang Xinghan.  The implication is obvious, that is, they are worried that Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others are no match for Zhang Xinghan. If reinforcements fail, they will be annihilated.  However, even if Bai Chongxi wanted to go to the front line, he would not have enough time and transportation.  Just when Chairman Chiang was in a dilemma, he was worried about the future of the Battle of Puyang.  An unexpected incident occurred on the Puyang battlefield that no one expected.  …………………………… In a dense forest about two or three kilometers east of Puyang City, Zhang Lingfu quietly arrived here with the defenders of Fan County overnight.  In Fan County, Zhang Lingfu failed to complete the task assigned to him by Wang Yaowu, and led his troops to block Zhang Xinghan, so that Puyang fell into a tight siege, and the two reinforcements were wiped out overnight.  After learning the news, Zhang Lingfu felt deeply guilty and hurriedly led his troops to help Puyang.  Although Zhang Lingfu hated Zhang Xinghan to the core, he also knew that he did not have an advantage in terms of military strength, and there was a huge gap with the Northeast Army in terms of equipment level and other aspects.  Therefore, he did not rush forward recklessly with his troops and die. Instead, he quietly led his troops to approach Puyang and sent out elite scouts to detect the enemy's situation outside Puyang City.  At this moment, Zhang Lingfu was waiting in the woods for his reconnaissance platoon leader to bring back much-needed information.  Lying in the grass in the woods, there was no trace of ripples on Zhang Lingfu's handsome face. With a firm gaze, he looked straight into the dark night sky ahead like a beast hiding in the night.  I don’t know how long it took, but there were finally some light footsteps and two cooing sounds coming from the front.  A guard next to Zhang Lingfu said softly: "Barracks, the reconnaissance platoon is back." Zhang Lingfu nodded lightly, and the guard immediately responded with two bird calls.  Three black figures flashed out from the woods in front. Zhang Lingfu stood up with the guards and said to one of them: "Xiaofu. How is the situation?" This reconnaissance platoon leader was also named Zhang, whose original name was Zhang Xiaohu, followed by Zhang Lingfu.  Infected by his charisma, he voluntarily changed his name to Zhang Xiaofu to show his loyalty to Zhang Lingfu.  In addition, this person is very skilled and has outstanding marksmanship.  He was also very shrewd, so he was appointed by Zhang Lingfu as the lieutenant platoon leader of his reconnaissance platoon.  (Purely fabricated) Zhang Xiaofu and his two subordinates first stood up and saluted, and then said: "Battle base, I understand, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has deployed a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns outside Puyang City to blockade Puyang City.  But there were not many infantry involved in the siege. "Why?" Zhang Lingfu didn't know that Zhang Xinghan's main force had gone north to attack the 17th Army.  "I don't know about my humble position, but in the south and southeast of the city, I found a large number of prisoners of our army. I did a rough calculation and found that there were at least one or two divisions. The Northeastern Army's custody troops should have about two or three battalions. In addition,  , west of the city. No other Northeastern troops were found in the north of the city," Zhang Xiaofu said.  Zhang Lingfu fell into deep thought after hearing this, and Zhang Xiaofu asked: "Ying Zuo, what should we do? Should we rescue those prisoners and then rescue Shi Zuo, or should we rush directly into the city and meet Shi Zuo?" "No." Zhang Lingfu shook his head.  , said: "With the troops we have now, it is difficult to successfully rescue those prisoners. Even if we rescue them, what will happen? We have no equipment. We cannot arm them, and they will become a burden." Directly assault into the city to meet up with the division.  No, that would be tantamount to throwing ourselves into a trap and sneaking into the ambush of the Northeast Army, which is not as advantageous as hiding in the dark." (Zhang Lingfu's current strength plus the defenders brought from Fan County are not enough.  "Two thousand people." "Then what should we do?" Zhang Xiaofu said. "Let me think about it." Zhang Lingfu waved his hand and fell into thought again. After about three to five minutes, Zhang Lingfu made a decision and said to Zhang Xiaofu immediately.  : "Xiaofu, immediately order the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time send electricity to the division, and ask the division to lead a counterattack from inside the city. Attack us from inside and outside, first eliminate the Northeastern Army outside the city, seize their anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and then deal with the troops south of the city.  Northeastern Army infantry, rescue those prisoners. "This is called using one's straw to stab another's shield." "Yes." Zhang Xiaofu's eyes flashed with heat and he followed the order. "In Puyang City, Wang Yaowu was trapped in a tight siege for many days."  After receiving a message from Chairman Chiang that Xu Tingyao had led the 17th Army to rush south for reinforcements, he was reassured and his tense nerves relaxed a little. &nbsp; But today I suddenly learned the bad news that the 2nd Division of the 17th Army was ambushed by the Northeastern Army on its way to reinforcements and was completely wiped out. The 17th Army Headquarters was also trapped in a tight siege.  Wang Yaowu can no longer eat, let alone sleep. Now he is drowning his sorrows in the headquarters with alcohol.  Suddenly, an adjutant walked in quickly. Hearing the footsteps, Wang Yaowu, who was already half-drunk, couldn't help but get angry: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?" The visitor stopped and said earnestly: "Master, sir,  I just received an urgent message from Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 3rd Battalion. "Wang Yaowu said: "Who? Lingfu? Where is he now?" Wang Yaowu still thinks highly of Zhang Lingfu. He is young and promising.  Both wise and brave, he is an absolute military genius.  Even Wang Yaowu can secretly predict that Zhang Lingfu’s future achievements will never be inferior to his own.  "Zhang Lingfu, with his battalion and the Fan County garrison, totaling more than 1,700 people, has now arrived outside the city" The adjutant told Wang Yaowu Zhang Lingfu's battle plan in detail.  After finishing speaking, he added: "Master, I think Zhang Lingfu's suggestion is very feasible, and he has already proven that there is no main force of the Northeast Army outside the city. We still have an advantage in actual strength. As long as we capture the enemy by surprise.  The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns can easily defeat the enemy's main infantry force outside the city by turning their muzzles. This will not only relieve the siege of Puyang, but also rescue the prisoners of the two divisions, and reverse the situation between the enemy and ourselves in the entire Hebei Battle in one fell swoop!  " Although Wang Yaowu was half drunk, his mind was still sober. After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately smashed the wine bowl to pieces and said sternly: "Give me the order. Each regiment will prepare to fight immediately.  As soon as the sound was heard, the troops immediately divided into four groups, killed those bastards of the Northeast Army, and snatched all their anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, so as to avenge the shame of the past!  More than half an hour later, as the troops successfully and quietly retreated to the rear of the other three Northeastern armies, Zhang Lingfu, wearing a helmet and holding an MP18 submachine gun, took the lead and led hundreds of subordinates behind him to launch an attack on the Northeastern Army's siege troops at the east gate.  attack.  The fortifications of the Northeastern Army's siege troops were built on the only roads that must pass through the four gates outside Puyang City. However, since they did not expect that enemy troops would appear behind them, the fortifications were one-sided. They only prevented the defenders in the city from breaking through, but not those coming from behind.  Attack from behind.  Liu Jianguo was also careless. He believed that the Northeastern Army had won successive victories. The central army reinforcements north of the Yellow River, Xinxiang, and other places were almost completely wiped out. The remaining strongholds were not enough, so how could they dare to come out of the city to attack them?  As for the central yāng army reinforcements south of the Yellow River, they were blocked by the air force and were unable to cross the river in a hurry. The 17th Army in Handan and other places already had the main force led by Zhang Xinghan himself to meet them.  Puyang was absolutely safe, which made Liu Jianguo relax his vigilance, and instead focused more on the nearly 20,000 central military prisoners.  In fact, not only was Liu Jianguo careless, but also the various units of the Northeast Army participating in the war showed signs of underestimation and paralysis due to the continuous victory.  Therefore, when Zhang Lingfu led the commando to the front, the soldiers of the Northeast Army including the air defense regiment besieging the city were completely caught off guard.  With one burst of fire from the submachine gun in Zhang Lingfu's hand, several Northeastern soldiers fell into a pool of blood.  "Ta da da bang bang bang kill." Hundreds of subordinates behind him also opened fire.  A large hail of bullets roared in, and the siege troops at the east gate were caught off guard and fell in pieces.  As soon as the gunfire rang out at the east gate, Zhang Xiaofu and others from the other three gates also led their troops to launch a charge at the same time.  Suddenly there was loud gunfire outside the city, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth.  Inside the city, Wang Yaowu held a light machine gun and shouted seductively: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived. Rush out and kill those Northeastern gangsters outside the city and avenge the dead brothers. But remember one thing."  Stay here. None of the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns outside the city are allowed to explode. They are all reserved for me!" "Yes!" The nearly a thousand defenders gathered around him echoed in unison.  "Open the door!" As the city gate opened, Wang Yaowu waved his hand, holding the machine gun and rushing out of the city with his men like a tide.  At the same time, there was an open space in the southeast of the city, where Liu Jianguo kept prisoners.  Liu Jianguo, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the sudden shouting of gunfire and ran out of the marching tent without even putting on his military uniform.  "What's going on?" Liu Jianguo asked with a horrified look on his face as he saw the fire in Puyang City and the loud shouting.  Not long after, an adjutant ran away in a panic.He came over and said, "Deputy commander, it's no good, no, no, the enemy has sneak attacked the air defense regiment. The defenders in the city also took advantage of the situation to attack. They cooperated inside and outside. The air defense regiment has been defeated!" "What?" Liu Jianguo was shocked when he heard this.  , immediately ordered: "Gather the troops immediately and go up!" "But, but, what to do with these prisoners? We don't have many troops to begin with, and there are fewer people left. I'm afraid something will happen to these prisoners!" Adjutant  Difficult way.  A trace of ferocity flashed in Liu Jianguo's eyes, and he wanted to order them to be killed, but when he thought of Zhang Xinghan's explanation before leaving, these prisoners are my Chinese compatriots, and no one of them should be harmed lightly under any circumstances.  Liu Jianguo gave up that crazy idea.  He asked the adjutant to leave two battalions to guard the prisoners, and he only took an infantry battalion and several troops directly under the regiment to rush towards the east of Puyang City to reinforce the air defense regiment.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 453: Unprecedented

    When Zhang Xinghan saw Liu Jianguo, he could hardly believe his eyes. At this time, Liu Jianguo was unkempt and his uniform was in tatters. He was completely different from the high-spirited commander-in-chief of the group army when they parted.  . It was daytime now, and Zhang Xinghan led his troops to besiege Tangyin County for another night. However, there was still no movement from the 4th Division and the 25th Division of the 17th Army in the Anyang and Handan areas.  Knowing that the enemy would not be fooled again, Zhang Xinghan was planning to order his troops to capture Tangyin, capture Xu Tingyao alive, take away the headquarters of the 17th Army, destroy its command system, and then return to Puyang and Liu Jianguo.  But he didn’t expect that overnight, Liu Jianguo would hurriedly come to him like a beggar with a group of broken soldiers.  As soon as he saw Zhang Xinghan, before Zhang Xinghan could ask, Liu Jianguo knelt down in front of Zhang Xinghan with a plop and cried loudly: "The chief officer, you are humble and incompetent. He was attacked by the enemy at night and outside, causing the entire air defense regiment to be wiped out. The 2nd Air Defense Regiment was completely destroyed."  The regiment also suffered heavy losses. All nearly 20,000 prisoners were rescued by the Puyang garrison. Please punish me severely!" Zhang Xinghan really couldn't believe it. Although Liu Jianguo did not have any amazing military talents, he had followed him for many years and had many experiences.  A veteran general in the army.  “I even left him an air defense regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment. Needless to say, the equipment of the Northeast Army Infantry Regiment is second to none in the world.  The most important thing is the air defense regiment, which is an air defense regiment with four battalions and more than 2,000 people, equipped with more than thirty 88mm German anti-aircraft guns and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns.  These weapons may not sound like much, but their power is definitely comparable to the firepower of a division or more of ordinary military forces.  Especially the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, which has been invincible since it served in the Northeast Army and has never suffered a defeat.  Zhang Xinghan first stretched out his hand to help this loyal subordinate who had followed him through life and death since September 18th, and said kindly: "Jianguo, it's no big deal. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Why cry? Don't cry." Liu Jianguo wiped away his tears and felt guilty.  He said extremely: "Master, I'm sorry for you. It was my negligence that caused the Puyang war situation to reverse overnight and caused immeasurable losses to our army. I have failed in your trust!" "Okay,  Didn't I say that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs?" Zhang Xinghan stroked his back and said, "Tell me, what happened at that time?" Liu Jianguo nodded and said, "Last night, I arranged the military affairs.  While I was resting, I suddenly received a report that the air defense regiment had been attacked. At that time, my subordinates had to guard nearly 20,000 prisoners, so they could not mobilize all their forces to rush to the rescue of the air defense regiment. When I took a battalion and the troops directly under the regiment to rush to support.  Unexpectedly, the air defense regiment was defeated, most of the soldiers died in the battle, and only a few people escaped. When I inquired about the reason, it turned out that a Central Army reinforcement force and the city's defenders cooperated with each other to launch a sudden attack on the air defense regiment and other besieging forces. The air defense regiment was attacked from both sides.  We were caught off guard and suffered a tragic defeat. When I led the anti-aircraft regiment and reinforcements, I planned to launch a counterattack against the enemy and recapture our anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. However, I was met with intensive firepower from the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. The brothers were brave and brave.  In view of the heavy casualties, I ordered the troops to retreat temporarily and wanted to send a message to the headquarters for help, but at this time, another Central Army army came from our regiment headquarters and the place where the prisoners were detained.  Come. The regiment's radio station and communications personnel were all wiped out. Those prisoners also joined the battle. Under attack from both sides, even though our army was equipped with advanced equipment, they could not resist it, especially when they used the captured anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to cause damage to the brothers.  The casualties were extremely heavy. He led the remaining troops to fight and retreat. After getting rid of the Central Army's pursuit, only these three to five hundred brothers were left." As he spoke, Liu Jianguo couldn't help but shed tears.  Listening to Liu Jianguo’s introduction, although Zhang Xinghan did not participate in the battle, he could still imagine the scene at that time.  Under the siege of the enemy's superior strength and the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns of the anti-aircraft regiment, it is a miracle that Liu Jianguo was able to break through the encirclement.  Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Northeastern Army is well-equipped and has strong assault firepower, otherwise the outcome is likely to be the complete annihilation of the entire army.  That would directly set a new record for the first time that a regiment-level unit of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force was completely wiped out.  Even so, this disastrous defeat was the most disastrous since he established the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The entire two regiments suffered more than 90% battle damage and lost all their light and heavy weapons. The more than 300 people who broke out were all injured.  Think before you think??, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey, it seems that there are also powerful people with both wisdom and courage in the Central Army. In this battle of Puyang, the enemy's reinforcements seized the timing of the sneak attack just right, and the entire battle progressed smoothly.  "Jianguo, you were not unjustly defeated!" Liu Jianguo lowered his head in shame and said, "The chief executive is right, Wang Yaowu succeeded in this sneak attack, but he will not accept the defeat if he doesn't."  It’s still unclear who will win over those 20,000 prisoners. I will definitely defeat him next time to avoid the shame of last night!” “Wang Yaowu? This man is a key general of the Huangpu faction. He is known for his calmness and calmness. I didn’t expect him to be like this.”  He is a talented man, I underestimated him before." Zhang Xinghan also thought that Wang Yaowu was commanding this battle and couldn't help but nod in praise.  "Chief, what should we do next? Should we go back to Puyang?" Liu Jianguo asked eagerly for revenge.  "No, the enemy situation in Puyang is unknown at the moment. Don't worry. Let the Secrecy Bureau and the Air Force figure out the situation in Puyang first." Zhang Xinghan waved his hands and said: "Now, first capture Tangyin County and capture Xu Tingyao alive before making any plans." "Then.  Please allow Jianguo to lead the attack," Liu Jianguo said immediately.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and immediately ordered Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others to prepare for the attack.  …………… Xuchang, after a night of rest with a melancholy mood, Chairman Jiang got up early, with obvious fatigue between his brows, which showed that he did not have a good rest last night.  Under the service of his attendants, Chairman Chiang finished washing himself and was about to go to the restaurant to have breakfast when he saw little Zhuge Bai Chongxi walking towards him in a hurry.  "Jiansheng, why are you so happy?" Chairman Jiang asked without knowing why.  Bai Chongxi was so happy that he even forgot to salute, and said excitedly: "Commission, great victory, great victory." "Where is the great victory?" Chairman Jiang was surprised and asked eagerly.  "I just received the good news from Wang Yaowu from Puyang. Last night, Zhang Lingfu led his troops to ask Wang Yaowuli to cooperate with the outside world and successfully raided the Northeastern Army troops besieging the city. Then they completely annihilated the two main regiments of the Northeastern Army outside the city and rescued nearly 20,000 prisoners of our army. " In addition,  A large number of advanced German and American equipment were also seized, and the situation in the Puyang battle was reversed overnight. This battle was the biggest loss for Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force since its formation. It can be called an unprecedented victory." Bai Chongxi's glasses frames were crooked with excitement!  I haven't realized it yet, Tao.  Chairman Chiang was startled at first, and then said in disbelief: "Is what Jian Sheng said true?" "It's absolutely true, this is the autographed victory message sent by Wang Yaowu." Bai Chongxi handed a message to Chairman Chiang  .  Chairman Chiang took the message and read it. His hands could not help but tremble and he said: "Okay, okay, well done. We need such a victory so much. It is not invincible even if it is as strong as the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. That's great."  "Bai Chongxi also nodded with deep understanding. Since Zhang Xinghan came out of the September 18th Incident, he has fought hundreds of battles, large and small, and his Northeastern Army has never been defeated.  ???????????The mythical status quo of the Northeast Army's invincibility has always been created for them within the Northeast Army and external armies.  Now, with the Battle of Puyang, the myth of the Northeast Border Guard's invincibility has been shattered, which will greatly boost the confidence and morale of the Central Army and other local armies.  After the excitement, Chairman Chiang asked carefully: "By the way, what position does Zhang Lingfu hold now? Which military academy did he graduate from?" Bai Chongxi knew that Zhang Lingfu became famous in the battle of Puyang, which was enough to make him famous all over the world. This is Chairman Chiang's plan  To reuse him, of course, given Lao Jiang's surname, he must ask about his background.  Bai Chongxi also admired Zhang Lingfu's performance and immediately said truthfully: "Zhang Lingfu is currently the 51st Division and the lieutenant colonel commander of the 59th Brigade. He is a student graduating from the fourth infantry course in Huangpu. His hometown is Xi'an, Shaanxi. It is worth mentioning that,  Zhang Lingfu was admitted to the History Department of Yanjing University before he was admitted to the Huangpu Military Academy. He is a rare talent with both civil and military skills. "Well, it's fine if he is from the Huangpu Department, so he is also my student."  The Chairman was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in praise: "Such a rare talent with both wisdom and bravery is truly the pillar of the party and the country. The Battle of Puyang saved the war situation from a crisis. Pass my order to immediately promote Zhang Lingfu to the 59th Brigade of the 51st Division."  The major general brigade commander also serves as the deputy commander of the 51st Division, assisting Wang Yaowu to hold on to Puyang and make new contributions to the party and the country. " Bai Chongxi smiled slightly on the side and did not make too many comments. With Zhang Lingfu's background and this amazing performance, he can do it.  It is reasonable to upgrade several levels at once.  Regardless of the outcome of the Hebei war, Bai Chongxi can foresee that Zhang Lingfu's future will definitely be bright.  &nbsp; After arranging the awards, Chairman Chiang turned to Bai Chongxi and said: "Jiansheng, now that our army has won the victory in Puyang and reversed the unfavorable situation in Puyang, what should we do next? What do you think?  "Bai Chongxi said politely: "My Lord, the victory at Puyang not only cost Zhang Xinghan two regiments of valuable troops, but also gave me a rare chance to breathe. In my opinion, let Hu Zongnan send his troops as soon as possible.  The troops of the two regiments sneaked across the Yellow River to supplement the fighting strength of the Puyang defenders. With Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu holding firm in Puyang, plus Tang Enbo and Guan Linzheng's distant echoes, they would be able to contain Zhang Xinghan for some time and buy time for the arrival of our main reinforcements from the south of the Yangtze River. As long as our main army  Once we get there, it will be hard for Zhang Xinghan, a partial teacher, to make a difference. " PS: Yesterday I was reading a book to recharge my batteries, and I just updated one chapter. Today I have three updates, and this is the first update.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 454: Another Showdown

    Chairman Jiang nodded in agreement, and ordered his adjutants to convey the order, asking Hu Zongnan to arrange reinforcements to reinforce Puyang.  .? In Tangyin County, with the last charge of the commando led by Liu Jianguo, dozens of Central Army guards who were stubbornly resisting were mopped down.  The battle in Tangyin City came to an end. Xu Tingyao, who was wearing a general's uniform, sat on a chair with an American M1911 semi-automatic pistol in his hand. He looked at the large group of Northeastern Army soldiers who rushed in expressionlessly and looked at the weapons in their hands.  The black muzzles of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles turned a blind eye.  Liu Jianguo strode in surrounded by a group of subordinates. When he saw Xu Tingyao sitting in front of the door with a pistol in his hand, Liu Jianguo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.  Walking forward, Liu Jianguo said: "No one is allowed to shoot without my order." Arriving in front of Xu Tingyao, Liu Jianguo saluted: "General Xu, I, Liu Jianguo, deputy commander of the 1st Group Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, are hereby commissioned by the National Revolutionary Army  General Zhang Xinghan, deputy chairman of the Military Commission and deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, asked the general to gather outside the city! " "Huh, you are a young man," Xu Tingyao snorted disdainfully.  The Northeastern officers and soldiers present were furious when they heard this, and they all looked at each other angrily.  All the steel guns in his hands were aimed at Xu Tingyao.  Xu Tingyao was not afraid at all, and said to Liu Jianguo: "Bring me a message to Zhang Xinghan. Anyone who commits injustice will be killed." "General Xu should tell us this sentence in person." Liu Jianguo said.  Xu Tingyao smiled lightly, without comment, and slowly raised his pistol. The surrounding Northeastern Army soldiers shouted nervously.  Liu Jianguo raised his hands slightly, signaling to his subordinates not to act rashly.  Xu Tingyao suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at his temple. Upon seeing this, Liu Jianguo hurriedly shouted: "General, no!" "Bang!" With a gunshot, Xu Tingyao's right hand holding the gun was pierced by a hot bullet, and the semi-automatic pistol in his hand  Unable to hold on, he fell to the ground, and blood flowed out like a fountain.  When Liu Jianguo saw this, he turned back and looked around, and saw Zhang Xinghan walking in quickly, surrounded by Guo Zhong and others, holding a gun.  The muzzle of the gun was still emitting green smoke.  "Chief seat!" Liu Jianguo and others stood up to salute one after another, and the surrounding Northeast Army soldiers also gave way to a path.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand slightly, handed the pistol to Guo Zhong, strode forward, and asked with concern: "General Yuexiang, why are you doing this?" This was the first time Xu Tingyao met Zhang Xinghan. After a slight start, he immediately snorted coldly.  : "It is the nature of a soldier to rather die than to be a prisoner!" "Brother Yuexiang is wrong. Xinghan and the general are both Chinese soldiers, not Japanese pirates or other foreign enemies. Why should the general commit suicide?" Zhang Xinghan persuaded sincerely,  After launching the attack, Zhang Xinghan was worried that Xu Tingyao would not want to be a prisoner to preserve his reputation and would commit suicide.  So he hurried over with the guards. Fortunately, he arrived in time and the tragedy did not happen.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan is like this is not because he likes Xu Tingyao. Of course, there is no doubt that he has certain military talents and is good at uniting troops in combat.  The main reason is that Zhang Xinghan's southern expedition was not really to wipe out the Communists, but to eliminate the moth in the national government and reorganize a country that truly serves the country and the people.  ??A United Nations civil affairs agency that takes the benefit of all people around the world as its own mission and safeguards national dignity and national literacy.  This southern expedition can also be called a reorganization battle, aiming to force the top leaders of the Nationalist Government to agree to reorganization, rather than a true battle to eliminate the Central Army, which is also China's national defense force.  Naturally, a well-known central military general like Xu Tingyao cannot be killed without permission. This can only make his relatives angry and his enemies happy.  Not only cannot he be killed, but he cannot be allowed to die in the hands of the Northeast Army. Otherwise, the negative impact will directly affect the success or failure of this southern expedition.  If Xu Tingyao really commits suicide, then the entire 17th Army, such as Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, Guan Linzheng and a large number of middle and lower-level generals will definitely hate Zhang Xinghan and the Northeast Army.  Even if the two sides have sworn hatred, some military generals who are holding a wait-and-see attitude will completely turn to support Chairman Chiang Kai-shek against Zhang Xinghan. Then there will be no possibility for Zhang Xinghan to reorganize the National Government.  .  You can’t kill all the important figures in the national government, military and government, right?  What's the difference between that and self-severing wings?  Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Xinghan would not let Xu Tingyao succeed in committing suicide.  Unexpectedly, Xu Tingyao did not appreciate Zhang Xinghan’s kind persuasion. Instead, he sarcastically said: “Haha, thank you for your kindness.Knowing that I was a Chinese soldier, I thought that after the general conquered Japan, he was assimilated by the Japanese. Otherwise, how could he actively provoke a civil war and destroy the unity of the country?  " "The general's words are wrong. Zhang has absolutely no intention of destroying the unity of the country. This southern expedition is really a helpless move. I dare to ask the general, how is the National Government now compared with when it was first established?  "Zhang Xinghan said. "The duty of a soldier is to protect his family and the country, and it is a bloody battlefield. We have no right to interfere with political matters, and we don't want to.  "Xu Tingyao is a bit evasive. In fact, it is impossible for a high-level official in the National Government to reach his position as an official. It's just that the helplessness of a soldier cannot be explained clearly in a few words. " Zhang Xinghan also  Without further arguing with him on this issue, he just said: "Brother Yuexiang, Xinghan's army is definitely not for his own selfish desires. We will find out later on which one is right and which one is wrong. Now please let the general receive treatment. Afterwards, the general will  If I think it is feasible, I will send the general out of the city. If the general thinks he needs to rest, he will stay in Tangyin to rest, and he can leave on his own after a day.  " As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, Xu Tingyao was a little surprised, and looked at Zhang Xinghan with a complicated look, mixed with a hint of disbelief. Seeing that Xu Tingyao was silent, regardless of the complicated look in his eyes, Zhang Xinghan immediately turned around and waved his hand: "Where are the medical soldiers?  Treat General Xu's injuries immediately!  " At that moment, two army doctors walked forward quickly carrying medical kits and began to bandage Xu Tingyao. After inspection, the bullet penetrated Xu Tingyao's right hand. Fortunately, it did not hurt any vital parts. After the medical soldiers cleaned the wound and stopped the bleeding in time, they  After the bandaging was completed, Xu Tingyao stood up and walked straight out. Zhang Xinghan asked kindly: "General, do you need me to send someone to escort you?"  " Xu Tingyao said coldly: "If you want to regret it, just let your subordinates shoot me now.  "Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to arrange for Guo Zhong to release several guards and adjutants from the 17th Army Headquarters and escort Xu Tingyao away. After watching Xu Tingyao and his party leave, Liu Jianguo said with some confusion: "Chief Commander, is Xu Tingyao a bit weird?  Too disrespectful?  The president treats us with such courtesy, but he is cold and arrogant and does not appreciate it. If we let him go like this, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain?  " Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, Xu Tingyao is injured. Even if he goes back, it is unlikely that he will directly command the 17th Army in combat. Moreover, his mind is already in chaos at this time, so he is no longer a threat.  " Zhang Xinghan is right. Based on Zhang Xinghan's unconditional release of Xu Tingyao, the suspicious Chairman Chiang will definitely not let him take charge of the 17th Army at this time after learning the news. Therefore, Xu Tingyao's best  As a result, he was sent to the rear to recuperate. Not long after Xu Tingyao left, an agent from the Secret Bureau finally came back from Puyang. "Chief, it was Wang Yaowu's troops who attacked our siege troops last night, but the battle plan was not Wang Yaowu's.  It was formulated by a battalion commander under Wang Yaowu.  "Guo Zhong reported to Zhang Xinghanhui with the telegram. "Oh?  Not Wang Yaowu?  A battalion commander?  Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised when he heard this and asked, "What is the name of this battalion commander?"  " "Zhang Lingfu, but now this person has been promoted by the National Government to the rank of major general and deputy division commander of the 59th Brigade of the 51st Division due to his military exploits.  "Guo Zhong. "Zhang Lingfu?  "As a time traveler, especially a modern soldier, Zhang Xinghan has naturally heard of Zhang Lingfu, and also knows some of his history. Knowing that this man is a famous anti-Japanese general in history, a top student of Peking University, and a key general of the Huangpu Department,  With both wisdom and courage, he is a rare tiger general in the army. Knowing Zhang Lingfu's information, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but nod. Only a strong general like him could fight a battle like the Battle of Puyang. It was reasonable for Liu Jianguo to be defeated by him.  Guo Zhong suddenly added: "Oh, by the way, the telegram also said that the reinforcements led by Zhang Lingfu were the same tenacious defenders who were stationed in Fang County.  " Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but nod: "This Zhang Lingfu is really a talent. From the current point of view, in terms of tactical command ability, no one among the Huangpu officers under Jiang Gong can surpass him.  If such a talent is really my enemy for a long time, Zhang Xinghan, he will definitely be a thorn in my side.  " When Guo Zhong heard what Zhang Xinghan said, he thought of the disastrous defeat of the air defense regiment, and immediately said: "Chief Commander, this person is so harmful, should Yizhi send a capable agent to secretly assassinate him?  Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand: "No, let's not say whether it can be successful or not. The main thing is that he and our army cannot be enemies forever. If there is a chance in the future, I would be willing to give him a chance to lead an expedition.  Let him give full play to his talents and practiceWith their own ideals and aspirations, such soldiers are the pillars of the country. They are definitely a sharp knife used to resist foreign humiliation and defend national dignity.  " "Give him a chance?  "Guo Zhong didn't know why. Seeing that Zhang Xinghan had no intention of explaining, he didn't ask any more questions and stepped aside. Zhang Xinghan suddenly said sternly: "Commander, send the order immediately, and the troops will gather immediately and rush to Puyang. This time I want to fight with Wang Yaowu and Wang Yaowu.  Zhang Lingfu competes again!  In addition, send a message to the Chief of Staff and ask him to quickly order the airborne brigade to land in Puyang to support our operations.  "(To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 455: The outcome is unpredictable

    Three hours later, Zhang Xinghan personally led the tank regiment and the main force of the reorganized 1st Division to arrive outside Puyang City again.  . But this time Zhang Xinghan failed to surround Puyang City again as he wished, because just over twenty hours have passed since last night.  The Central Army defenders of Puyang City have built three connected field defense positions outside the city.  And a lot of anti-tank trenches were dug on the position. The tank division's No. 4 tank group could only suspend the attack until these anti-tank trenches were filled.  It turns out that after defeating Liu Jianguo's siege troops, Zhang Lingfu suggested to Wang Yaowu that he immediately organize manpower to repair field defense positions because he knew that Puyang's strategic location and strategic significance were extremely important.  Wang Yaowu was not a fool, and of course he understood, so he immediately ordered the entire army and the nearly 20,000 rescued prisoners, a total of nearly 30,000 people, to start repairing field fortifications overnight.  Fortunately, there were 20,000 captives as free labor, otherwise it would have been impossible for Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu to build this field defense position around the city in such a short period of time.  In a fortification at the west end of Puyang City, Wang Yaowu and the newly appointed deputy division commander and major general brigade commander Zhang Lingfu were holding telescopes to observe the situation outside the city.  Through the telescope, he discovered that the Northeastern border guards surging outside the city had been blocked from the field defense positions outside the city. Wang Yaowu put down the telescope proudly, turned to Zhang Lingfu and said: "Brother Lingfu, you still have the foresight.  We can hold on to the field defense position until reinforcements arrive. "Wang Yaowu admired Zhang Lingfu very much before. Now Zhang Lingfu has become famous since the battle in Puyang and has become a popular man in the eyes of Principal Jiang. He is just around the corner, so he speaks very politely.  .  However, Zhang Lingfu's face remained as calm as water and said: "Master, the situation is not optimistic. This time Zhang Xinghan is personally leading the troops, and there are hundreds of tanks and chariots. We can only say that we will fight to the death and wait for reinforcements." Wang Yaowu is quite proud of himself.  He said: "Brother Lingfu, you are worrying too much. After last night's battle, we rescued nearly two divisions of prisoners. In addition, we also seized a large number of weapons and equipment of the Northeast Border Guard. They are basically the same as the weapons in stock in the city."  After re-arming the 20,000 people, our total strength is now close to 30,000, and according to intelligence, the number of troops in Zhang Xinghan's hands should now be less than 30,000. We are not at a big disadvantage in terms of strength, and we are still defending the fortified city.  The battle should not be a big problem, and there is another point, that is, Chief Hu's two regiments of reinforcements have already ventured across the Yellow River and will arrive within a day at the latest." Zhang Lingfu nodded slightly without comment.  However, due to the hasty reorganization, the combat effectiveness of these armed captive soldiers on our side is not optimistic. He has personal experience with the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Not counting the completely unequal and super-strong firepower exchange in Fan County, it was the night attack battle last night that had an absolute advantage in fighter planes and military firepower.  It also allowed Zhang Lingfu to truly appreciate the powerful combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force for the first time.  The situation at that time was that we were surrounded by enemies from both sides, and we had an absolute advantage in strength. We also captured many anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Northeast Border Guard.  “However, even under such circumstances, when the Northeastern Border Guards launched a counterattack, everyone from the soldiers to the officers were still fearless of death, rushing forward despite the heavy rain of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets from their own side, screaming and rushing forward.  When they finally broke through due to heavy casualties, they relied on their super assault firepower and fighting will to break through the Central Army's deadly blockade and break out of the encirclement.  Such troops are not only well-equipped and powerful in firepower, but the most surprising thing is their extraordinary tenacity in combat. Even if they still have breath, they did not stop attacking or choose to surrender.  Even if the commander is killed, the remaining infantrymen will continue to roar and charge forward. They are a formidable group of opponents.  Zhang Lingfu finally understood why an army as powerful as Japan could be defeated by them, abandoning their helmets and armor, and even lost Kyushu Island.  Because they have been molded by Zhang Xinghan into a fearless, brave and heroic iron army, and it is an iron army with a soul, and their soul is Zhang Xinghan himself.  As long as Zhang Xinghan does not die, the fighting passion and willpower of the Northeast Frontier Army will continue to be strong, and as time goes by, this kind of personal hero worship will be integrated into this army once it has accumulated over time.  The soul of every officer and soldier.  And as time goes by, this kind of soul will be passed down from generation to generation. As long as the entire army is not wiped out in a battle, even if there is only one person left, this kind of military soul will continue.  As a soldier, especially a Chinese soldier? Zhang Lingfu felt particularly fortunate and respected that China had such an army, but now as an opponent, such an army has become a serious problem and an absolute headache for them.  Therefore, Zhang Lingfu is not very optimistic about this Puyang offensive and defensive battle.  At the same time, three kilometers away to the west of the city, Zhang Xinghan was convening Liu Jianguo and others to discuss the current situation.  "General, I led people to conduct reconnaissance. The Central Army has built field defense positions outside the city and has also dug a large number of anti-tank trenches. If our army wants to launch a strong attack, it may be difficult," Guo Zhong pointed out.  He introduced the map, and then said with emotion: "I have to say that Wang Yaowu and Zhang Lingfu moved really fast. In less than a day and night, they actually repaired such a large field defense outside the city.  "Come to the position." "It's nothing strange. They rescued 20,000 prisoners from me. With so many people, it's not a big problem to repair the position overnight."  "Commander Liu said this, but it reminds me of something." Guo Zhong paused and said to Zhang Xinghan: "General Officer, Wang Yaowu and the others have rescued so many Central Army prisoners and seized a lot of our weapons and equipment.  , In this way, wouldn’t they have at least tens of thousands of reinforcements out of thin air overnight?” Zhang Xinghan nodded and said thoughtfully: “Anti-tank trenches are not a problem for us, the problem is how can we build them in the shortest possible time?  I will break through the enemy's positions outside the city and capture the city within the time limit, because I am worried that if the delay is too long, Chairman Chiang's reinforcements will arrive, and we will be in trouble." "The commander-in-chief is right, our tank division.  Equipped with a battalion of bridging tanks, it can easily break through the enemy's anti-tank trench obstacles," a tank division officer agreed.  Zhang Xinghan asked: "When will the airborne brigade arrive?" Guo Zhong replied: "It's already on its way. I guess it will arrive soon." After thinking about it, Zhang Xinghan said: "Immediately generate electricity for the Air Force and airborne.  There is no need for the brigade to support Puyang. Let them immediately prepare to land in Jincheng and attack Jincheng at any cost. Guo Zhong couldn't help but praise: "The commander-in-chief is wise, with us here."  The Puyang diversion attracts the enemy's attention. It is really possible for the airborne brigade to take advantage of its unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack. " "It would be better if it succeeds. If it fails, it must be tried, because I am not sure how long the next battle in Puyang will last.  If it is delayed too late, then this battle in Hebei will be much more difficult," Zhang Xinghan said with some helplessness.  After all, Zhang Lingfu is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, especially since he now has nearly 30,000 troops under his command, and has also captured nearly two regiments of German and American equipment. His combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.  After the arrangements were made, Zhang Xinghan ordered his troops to conduct feint attacks from the north and south, while the main force was led by Liu Jianguo himself to launch the main attack from the west gate.  The two regiments of the tank division took the lead in launching a fierce artillery attack on the Central Army's field defense position outside the west gate, which lasted for more than 30 minutes. A large number of 75mm shells blew up the fortifications that the Central Army had rushed to repair overnight.  Immediately, a bridging tank battalion was immediately dispatched, and some artillery and machine gun units directly under the reorganized 1st Division opened fire with all their strength to provide them with fire cover.  The defenders suppressed by intensive firepower could not raise their heads at all. They could only watch the Northeastern Army's bridge-building tanks one by one driving to the edge of their own anti-tank trenches and stretching out the steel bridges.  When the muffled banging sound was heard, more than a dozen simple steel-framed iron bridges had been erected. Hundreds of soldiers from the Northeastern Border Defense Army who had been preparing for a long time immediately roared in unison and launched a charge with loud shouts.  The tank troops and machine gun troops were firing on all cylinders, trying their best to provide them with fire cover.  At the top of the west city, seeing that his own troops were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Northeast Army and unable to raise their heads, Zhang Lingfu frowned and ordered an adjutant beside him: "Order the frontline trenches to retreat immediately, and the anti-aircraft guns and artillery battalions to fire immediately.  Kill the enemy's tank troops." "Yes." An adjutant immediately took the order.  Soon, more than a dozen 88mm anti-aircraft guns hidden behind the positions outside the city and a 70mm mountain artillery battalion deployed inside the city opened fire.  The sudden artillery shells, with flames and piercing screams, hit the crowd of Northeastern Army offensive troops who had just rushed through the anti-tank trench area, immediately causing heavy casualties to the Northeastern Army.  ??The intense direct fire of 88 anti-aircraft shells targeted dozens of Panzer IV tanks that were providing cover for our own attacking troops a thousand meters away.  "Bang bang bang, boom boom boom" A violent explosion suddenly sounded, and dozens of No. 4 tanks were caught off guard and started to explode one after another.Hit, the dazzling fire light instantly enveloped them.  At the rear of the Northeastern Army, Zhang Xinghan frowned when he saw this. This had never happened before for the 88 anti-aircraft gun to hit the Panzer IV tank. He didn’t know whether it was the 88 anti-aircraft gun that was powerful or the Panzer IV tank’s defensive armor that was strong enough.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 456: Surprise Attack on Jincheng

    Under the expectant gazes of both sides, dozens of armor-piercing shells fired from 88mm anti-aircraft guns severely hit more than a dozen Panzer IV tanks.  . The dazzling flames soared into the sky and completely swallowed up the dozen or so tanks. When the dazzling flames dispersed with the smoke, they found that the No. 4 tank that had been hit began to emit thick smoke. It was obvious that the four tanks were  The 80mm thick vertical front armor of the No. 1 tank failed to withstand the fierce bombardment of the 88 anti-aircraft gun.  There is a piece of data that Zhang Xinghan does not know, that is, during World War II, the 76mm tank gun of the American tank Sherman could penetrate the vertical armor of the Panzer IV tank at a distance of two thousand meters.  Not to mention the German anti-aircraft gun with a caliber of 88mm, and at such a close distance of one thousand meters, even if the Soviet T3485 tank comes, it may not be able to withstand it, so the destruction of the No. 4 tank is inevitable  the result of.  Seeing that his own tanks were destroyed, Zhang Xinghan looked gloomy and immediately ordered: "Order the troops to stop attacking immediately and all No. 4 tanks to retreat." Guo Zhong and others knew that Zhang Xinghan was in a bad mood, so they quickly obeyed the order and left.  Not long after, the order was passed on, and the officers and soldiers of the attacking troops who were charging without fear of death immediately turned around and evacuated the battlefield like a tide.  Zhang Lingfu did not order a counterattack. He knew the firepower of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, so he had the upper hand in the first confrontation, but he did not dare to overdo it.  "Brother Lingfu, the Northeastern Army's anti-aircraft artillery is so powerful. It killed more than a dozen of their tanks. Haha, what a pleasure!" Wang Yaowu laughed excitedly.  "Master, now is not the time to be happy. Such a small defeat has not damaged Zhang Xinghan's vitality at all. I am worried that the Northeast Army will retaliate with aerial firepower!" Zhang Lingfu said worriedly.  Wang Yaowu suddenly realized and said in shock: "Oh, brother Lingfu, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten. When someone comes, order the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to be moved immediately!"  He stopped and said: "Wait a minute, Master, you must not evacuate the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns from the positions outside the city gates at this time, otherwise we will be unable to withstand the charge of the Northeast Army's tank group." "Then what should we do? What if Zhang Xinghan is really serious?  Wouldn't it be bad to recruit the air force? "Wang Yaowu was in a dilemma.  Zhang Lingfu patiently said: "Master, have you forgotten that these anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are themselves used for air defense. Putting them flat against infantry and armored tanks is a tactic invented by Zhang Xinghan." Speaking of this,  Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but admire Zhang Xinghan. Who is this person? He has neither been to Huangpu nor was he born in Baoding. He has just stayed in the Northeast Martial Arts Hall for a year and a half. How come he has so many unheard of things in his mind?  What about forward tactics and ideas that have never been seen before?  "Lingfu means to use these anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense?" Wang Yaowu obviously lacked confidence.  "Yes, if the Northeast Army Air Force attacks, then use air defense. If they attack again, then use it to suppress their tanks and offensive troops." Zhang Lingfu said.  ……………… Zhang Lingfu’s guess was correct. After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was a little angry and angrily said to Guo Zhong: “Zhongzi, send electricity to Gao Zhihang immediately and send bombers to me to kill Zhang Lingfu’s air defense position.” “  Yes." Guo Zhong shouldn't delay and left immediately.  "Chief Officer, Zhang Lingfu has been prepared for a long time. He will use the captured anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of our army to capture Puyang in a hurry. Do we need to change the battle plan?" Liu Jianguo was a little ashamed, but he made suggestions out of his duty as a subordinate.  .  "No need, I will not give up until Puyang is captured and Zhang Lingfu is captured alive." Zhang Xinghan said this with a bit of anger. Since he led his troops to participate in the September 18th Incident war, there have been hundreds of battles, large and small, and no one has ever done it again and again.  Let your own offense frustrate.  He couldn't help but be angry, but he didn't completely lose his mind. Subconsciously, he was waiting for the success of the airborne brigade's surprise attack.  Before the results of the airborne brigade’s surprise attack came out, he was going to compete with Zhang Lingfu in Puyang. With his advantages in advanced weapons of many arms, Zhang Xinghan couldn’t beat Zhang Lingfu even if he didn’t believe it.  Guo Zhong quickly returned and said to Zhang Xinghan: "The main office has contacted the Air Force. A bomber squadron has taken off from Peiping and is heading towards Puyang. It is expected to arrive in about half an hour." "  Well, very good." Zhang Xinghan said solemnly: "Concentrate all the tanks and artillery, cooperate with the air force, and bombard the defenders' positions at the west gate, especially the artillery positions in the rear, and strive to destroy all the anti-aircraft guns.  Kill me!" "Yes." Guo Zhong, Liu Jianguo and others responded.  &nbsp; More than thirty minutes later, about fourteen or five **-17 Flying Fortress bombers roared in from the northeast of Puyang City.  Zhang Lingfu’s air defense observation post deployed at the outdoor defense position in the north of the city was the first to discover it and quickly fired a signal flare to warn.  The defenders’ anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun positions quickly became busy. However, at this moment, the Northeast Army’s artillery position opposite the west gate suddenly opened fire.  With the cooperation of the tank division's artillery, dozens of artillery shells of different calibers roared down from the sky with long tail flames.  "Boom, boom, boomboom" The violent explosion filled the air with smoke and fire. Several defenders who were running back and forth to prepare for air defense fell on the spot in a pool of blood.  Immediately afterwards, a dozen Flying Fortress bombers came under the clouds and dropped aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms.  In the violent explosion that shook the earth and the mountains, the entire west gate of Puyang became a sea of ??fire.  Some of the defenders were swallowed up by the fire without even being able to scream in agony. Some were hit by raging shrapnel and lay wailing in a pool of blood. Some were burned by the fire and kept rolling on the ground.  The pitiful screams it made were horrifying.  This kind of bombing and explosion lasted for about ten minutes. Due to the rapid arrival of the air force and the lack of experience of the defenders in manipulating anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, it was okay to use them flatly as machine guns. But for real anti-aircraft and aircraft use, it would not be possible.  Same.  Therefore, the dozen or so anti-aircraft guns and machine guns deployed by Zhang Lingfu outside the west gate failed to cause any substantial damage to the incoming Flying Fortress bombers, and were almost destroyed.  After the bombing, the Northeast Army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately launched another fierce charge towards the west gate.  This time the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were lost, and the defenders were unable to stop the advance of the Northeast Army tanks.  Seeing that the first trench was broken through by the Northeastern Army without any effort, the entire Ximenwai field defense position was in danger of collapse.  Wang Yaowu blinked anxiously and said, "Lingfu, what should we do? You should think of a way quickly." Although Zhang Lingfu didn't show it clearly, the anxiety in his eyes and the frown on his brows all showed that he was in the same mood at the moment.  Nervousness and worry.  After pondering for a while, Zhang Lingfu said: "Master, it's almost time. It's time to let the death squads go and kill the Northeastern Army's tanks at all costs."  The law will not be used unless absolutely necessary.  But when he saw the tanks of the Northeastern Army outside the city, they were advancing rapidly as if they were entering uninhabited territory. Many Central Military Officers and soldiers were suppressed by their powerful firepower, unable to raise their heads, and the casualties continued to increase.  Wang Yaowu finally nodded and said: "Okay, order the death squads to attack me immediately." Jincheng, known as Zezhou in ancient times, has been the gateway to the Central Plains of Henan since ancient times.  It is also known as Fengtai, Danchuan and Zezhou Prefecture.  It is known as "Pinghan in the Central Plains and Xiongzhen in Southern Hebei".  Located at the southeastern boundary of Henan and Shanxi[5], it borders Xinxiang, Jiyuan, Qinyang, Boai, Jiaozuo and other counties in Henan to the east and south.  It is connected with Yuncheng and Linfen in the west and Changzhi in the north.  It is backed by the Yellow River and faces Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, and Kaifeng, the ancient capital, and Luoyang across the river [1].  To the northeast, you can see the ancient capital Anyang and Handan, Hebei Province.  It is to guard the key point of the thoroughfare of the three provinces of Henan, Hebei and Shanxi.  The Danhe River and the Qinhe River flow vertically into Henan, forming an important watershed between the Northern Henan Plain and the Zezhou Basin. Forty-five miles south of Jincheng is Xiongguan, named Tianjingguan, also known as Taihangguan and Xiongdingguan, because of the three wells in front of the pass.  It is named after the unfathomable spring. It is the first pass on the border between Henan and Shanxi and one of the eight passes in Taihang. It guards the important passage from Henan to Shanxi and is the only thoroughfare from Henan to Shanxi. Now, when Shanxi cannot be defended, Shanxi  The only way out for the Sui army to retreat southward from the Central Plains.  Zhang Xinghan’s goal this time with his lone division is Jincheng and Tianjingguan. If there is no airborne brigade, then if Zhang Xinghan wants to capture Jincheng, he must first capture Tianjingguan, an important pass.  In ancient times, Tianjing Pass, located in the southernmost part of the Taihang Mountains, was a key point between the north and the south. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Due to the steepness of Taihang, entering Tianjing Pass was a high pass. Needless to say, it is important.  But now that the Northeast Army already has airborne troops, the strategic pass that cannot be crossed by one man and ten thousand men can not be crossed during the cold weapon war has become a decoration.  As long as the airborne brigade can take Jincheng by surprise, then Tianjing Pass will be in the bag.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s urgent military order, Wang Longxiang immediately took off from Dalian with the help of the Air Force. After nearly two hours of flight, he finally arrived in the airspace around Jincheng when the battle in Puyang was at its most intense.  Hiding in JinchengUnder the guidance of agents from the Secrecy Bureau and other places, the airborne brigade began its airborne landing.  Countless umbrella flowers fall from the sky, dazzling and dazzling.  Half an hour later, the airborne brigade all landed safely, and quickly passed the radio and gathered around Wang Longxiang's location.  "Captain, the troops have been assembled, please give instructions." A squadron leader came to Wang Longxiang and said.  Wang Longxiang looked up at the sky and said: "It's still early. Order the troops to hide on the spot and send out guard posts. Once suspicious people approach, arrest them first and move on time at seven o'clock in the evening." (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 457: Taihang Natural Danger

    Due to Jincheng's special geographical location, it is not like other ordinary small counties with low walls and disrepair.  Because this is the southern gate of Shanxi and the gateway to the Three Jin Dynasties, Yan Xishan not only stationed one or two regiments of troops here, but also repaired and raised the walls of Jincheng County every year.  So far, the city wall of Jincheng has reached a height of five feet (about 17 meters high,) which is basically as high as a three or four-story building.  ??????????????Coupled with the terrain around Jincheng and the tall and majestic city walls, it is a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.  However, as mentioned before, there is a Tianjing Pass in front of Jincheng, which is a majestic pass even more dangerous than Jincheng. It is precisely because of this dangerous pass that the Jinsui Army garrison stationed in Jincheng, although they are guarding the strong city,  Fortress, but vigilance is extremely poor.  This is also the reason why there has been no fighting in southern Shanxi for several years. Not only did the defenders not build a field defense position outside the city, they did not even send out a single patrol sentry.  It’s no wonder, given the psychology of the Jinsui Army defenders, if anyone wants to attack Jincheng from the Central Plains, they must first pass through Tianjing Pass. In addition, not even a bird can fly over the Taihang Pass on both sides.  If Tianjingguan calls the police, they have sufficient preparation time, so they relax their vigilance.  At seven o'clock in the evening, the night sky was dotted with stars, and the half-moon crescent sprinkled the soft moonlight on the earth, making the dark night sky slightly clear.  In the night, Wang Longxiang led more than a thousand elite soldiers of the airborne brigade and quietly approached Jincheng from the mountain path under the cover of darkness.  While hiding in the mountains and forests, Wang Longxiang personally brought some elite soldiers to reconnoiter the defense situation in Jincheng.  Together with the intelligence provided by the agents of the Secret Bureau, we have some understanding of Jincheng's troop strength, defense deployment, and patrol intensity.  Since he did not have an advantage in terms of military strength, and the purpose of his trip was to seize the strategic location of Jincheng rather than annihilate the enemy, Wang Longxiang formulated a combat plan to concentrate his forces to break through from the south gate.  He secretly climbed over the defensive trench dug by the defenders and came to the area near the city wall.  "Captain, I'll take the men up first, you can hold off." A lieutenant colonel and deputy captain said, straightening the helmet on his head.  Wang Longxiang thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, be careful." The lieutenant colonel deputy captain nodded immediately, waved his hand, and led more than a hundred fully armed airborne troops to quietly move under the cover of night.  Under the city wall.  “Swish, swish, swish…” There was a muffled sound from the crossbow strings, and more than a dozen thick hemp ropes flew up to the top of the city under the leadership of the iron claw flying hook.  “Bang bang bang…” The iron claw flying hooks all hung on the wall without any surprise.  The airborne soldier who launched the flying hook pulled hard to ensure that the flying hook was really hooked, and then began to use his hands and feet to climb up as fast as a flying ape.  This skill of climbing the city wall is a necessary basic skill for every paratrooper, and it requires extremely high physical strength and arm strength.  This is also the benefit of the strict requirements for selecting one out of ten thousand paratroopers. All selected paratroopers must far exceed ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, physical strength, and arm strength.  Through Zhang Xinghan’s efforts in balanced nutritional supply and modern high-intensity physical training, the paratroopers have achieved miracles of superior skills.  However, the city walls of Jincheng are indeed a bit too tall, and the walls are not as tall as cliffs. There are some protrusions and depressions for paratroopers to step on. The walls are all made of blue bricks and cement asphalt. They are smooth as a whole and have no gaps.  Borrowing strength, this height is almost the limit that the paratroopers can bear.  "In about ten minutes, the first batch of twelve paratroopers, including the lieutenant colonel and deputy captain, finally boarded the city before running out of strength.  The Twelve Dark Nights were as quick as a cheetah, quickly spreading along the waist of the female wall. The safety of the MP38 submachine gun in his hand was fully activated, and his expression was alert and on tight alert.  The paratroopers below continued to climb.  "The progress is too slow. The demolition team is preparing to blow up the city gate." Wang Longxiang looked at the time and said anxiously: "Add more explosives and strive for success." "Yes." About four or five people carried a large number of explosive bags and detonators.  The paratroopers responded with a roar and ran towards the city gate as quickly as a leopard.  More than a dozen bags of explosives and detonators bearing the surname Lie were piled at the base of the south gate of Jincheng.  The city gate is an old iron-wood gate, with most of the corpses on the inside, but the outside is wrapped with a layer of iron, and the four corners are framed with steel plates to prevent the wooden gate from decaying after being exposed to wind and rain for a long time.  The explosive package equivalent to a heavy aerial bomb exploded violently as a blaster pressed the detonator in his hand.  The extremely violent explosion made the paratroopers present feel as if the ground beneath their feet was shaking.?Shaking.  The scorching and dazzling fire rose from the ground accompanied by thick smoke, engulfing a large area including the city gate and the building in the flames.  The huge shock wave instantly destroyed the old city gate. In the light of the fire, the city gate fragments broke into countless large and small pieces and shot out in all directions.  Seeing this, the lieutenant colonel and deputy captain at the top of the city immediately led the first batch of more than ten subordinates who climbed up to the top of the city to rush towards the city gate tower.  Although the fire broke out just now, the defenders inside the city gate tower did not suffer any substantial damage.  At this moment, he was choking on the thick smoke and ran out in panic.  "Ta-ta-ta" The submachine guns in the hands of the lieutenant colonel, deputy captain and several subordinates opened fire at the same time.  The defenders in the panic and chaos were suddenly shot and fell to the ground. After approaching, several paratroopers threw a few grenades with all their strength.  "Boom, boom, boom" The city gate building was suddenly swallowed up by fire and smoke again. This explosion was different from the explosion at the city gate just now. The shrapnel that shot in all directions directly hit the city gate building before it could escape.  The defenders caused devastating damage.  At the same time, Wang Longxiang outside the city waited for the fire at the city gate to fade away, and with a wave of his hand, he led the main force of the airborne brigade into the city like a tide.  …………………… “What’s the sound? What’s going on?” In a compound next to the Jincheng County Government Office, a fat-headed, middle-aged officer in disheveled clothes ran out of a bedroom.  Howling asked.  This is the headquarters of the Jincheng garrison brigade, and the voice came from the garrison brigade commander Zhao Mingxiang.  Although it was just seven o'clock in the evening, people in this period, especially in border towns like Jincheng, had no so-called nightlife.  Therefore, Zhao Mingxiang, commander of the garrison brigade, like all the soldiers and the people of Jincheng, hurriedly hugged Xinna's concubine and got into bed after dinner just after dark.  In his opinion, garrisoning the border is really hard work, and the only fun is to show off his power on the mother-in-law's bed at night, galloping back and forth.  " However, Zhao Mingxiang had just entered the concubine's body and was about to do it, but he was frightened by the sudden violent explosion and collapsed instantly.  The intense gunfire explosions and shouts of killing that followed made the garrison brigade commander, who might have been frightened to death, run out of the bedroom in a hurry.  Several guards and adjutants were also awakened and ran into the yard.  Seeing the furious brigade commander, one of the adjutants quickly stepped forward and said: "Brigade, it seems that the gunshots are coming from the south gate." "South Gate? Send someone immediately to see what happened at the south gate.  What happened?" Zhao Mingxiang ordered.  "Yes." The adjutant quickly lowered his head and responded.  Not long after, the people sent by the adjutant came back in a hurry.  With him came an officer who looked panicked and had a gray face.  Zhao Mingxiang recognized the person who was coming, it was a subordinate on duty at the south gate, and immediately asked: "Kong Er, why are you looking like this? What happened?" The major officer named Kong suddenly cried with aggrieved expression on his face.  : "Brigade, it's not good. There is a night attack by the Northeastern Army. They have already invaded." "What?" Zhao Mingxiang was shocked when he heard this and said in disbelief: "What's going on? How is this possible? Northeastern  How did the army get through Tianjing Pass? Could it be that they flew in? " "I can't explain it. They quietly climbed up to the top of the city and blew open the city gate. The brothers suffered heavy casualties and couldn't resist it at all.  The door has been captured by them." Lieutenant Colonel Kong said in a panic.  "Kill, charge!" Suddenly, a cry of killing came.  Zhao Mingxiang's heart trembled when he heard this, and an adjutant said hurriedly: "Sergeant, what should we do? Should we retreat quickly before the Northeast Army comes over?" "Retreat?" Zhao Mingxiang was a little moved, but then he thought about it.  Said: "No, no, Jincheng is the barrier of the three Jins, and its strategic location is extremely important. If it is lost from my hands, Chairman Yan will definitely not let me go." "But, Brigade, the enemy situation is unknown at the moment, hold on.  It may be a dead end if we go down, so why not take the brothers and retreat first? In the worst case, we can go up the mountain and become bandits, which will be just as fun!" an adjutant said eagerly.  Zhao Mingxiang fell into deep thought when he heard the words. He was obviously moved by the adjutant's words. He was used to the glory and wealth, and the soldier's blood had already been consumed in his mother-in-law's belly. Now he has become a complete bastard.  People who are greedy for life and afraid of death.  After thinking for a moment, Zhao Mingxiang gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Kong Er, take the remaining brothers and evacuate for me!" "Yes." &nbsp;……………………While Wang Longxiang attacked Jincheng at night, the Puyang offensive and defensive battle also temporarily came to an end.  Outside the city, there were corpses of soldiers from both sides everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.  The craters, shell casings, mutilated weapons and the remains of some tanks and chariots all over the place clearly show the fierce and bloody battle that just took place here.  "General, the Central Army has retreated into the city. It seems that they are planning to fight with us in the streets." Liu Jianguo, covered in blood, came to Zhang Xinghan and reported with a slightly tired expression. Just now he personally led the troops to start a fierce battle with the Central Army.  of hand-to-hand combat.  "Street fighting?" Zhang Xinghan felt a little heavy. The tenacity of the defenders exceeded his imagination. After commanding armored troops for a long time, he understood that once entering street fighting, the advantages of his own air force, artillery fire and tanks would be lost.  .  So he turned around and asked Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, is there any news from the direction of Jincheng?" (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 458: The Situation Reversed

    Before Guo Zhong had time to answer, a communications soldier sitting in the headquarters suddenly took off his earphones and stood up in front of the radio. He turned around and handed the recently translated message to Zhang Xinghan with a salute and said: "Main desk, the airborne brigade has an urgent call.  "Oh?" Under Zhang Xinghan's eyes, Guo Zhong quickly stepped forward to receive the message and read on the spot: "Wang Longxiang message, our troops have successfully attacked Jincheng. One of the defenders was wiped out, one surrendered, and the rest fled."  "Okay, well done." Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but praise after hearing this. He was already in trouble in the battle of Puyang. If he continued to attack, the Northeast Army's combat power would eventually be able to break through Puyang, but it would not only be delayed.  If the timing is not right, the battle will fail because the price paid for the fierce street fighting is too heavy.  Now that Wang Longxiang's surprise attack on Jincheng has succeeded, the Northeast Army has once again taken the initiative in the entire battle, and there is no need for him to waste time in Puyang.  "General, now that Jincheng has been won, can we suspend the attack on Puyang and move towards Jincheng? After all, the airborne brigade does not have many troops." Liu Jianguo and Zhang Xinghan also coincidentally thought that there was no need to continue the battle of Puyang.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Order all regiments to stop attacking immediately. The whole army bypasses Xinxiang and rushes towards Tianjing Pass. We also send electricity to the airborne brigade and send a force to attack Tianjing Pass with our troops from front to back." "Yes.  "Guo Zhong, Liu Jianguo and others stood up at attention and took the order to leave.  After a day of fierce fighting in Puyang City, most of the defenders were exhausted. Behind the barricades on the streets and under the city walls, soldiers were lying everywhere, and their grunts were loud.  Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu, accompanied by a group of guards, were patrolling the city to express condolences to the soldiers who had fought a bloody day.  Seeing that the soldiers were so exhausted and the casualties were so heavy, Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu felt extremely heavy.  Suddenly, a scout rushed from a distance, and when he came to him, he stood up and saluted: "Master's seat, deputy master's seat, the news I just detected is that the Northeastern Army outside the city has retreated overnight." "  What, retreated? Are you sure it's true?" Wang Yaowu said in surprise.  "It has been confirmed that the Northeastern Army in all directions outside the city has withdrawn. The reconnaissance company, led by our company commander, is pursuing reconnaissance. I believe there will be news soon." said the scout.  "Brother Lingfu, what do you think?" Wang Yaowu turned to Zhang Lingfu and asked.  Zhang Lingfu said with a thoughtful look on his face: "In my opinion, the Northeast Army's retreat is true, but it was definitely not because of the setback in the Battle of Puyang. It was probably because of some problems elsewhere." "Other places? It would be  Where? Tangyin County has been captured by the Northeastern Army. Both Hebi and Anyang are invincible, and the Northeastern Army led by Zhang Xinghan does not have many troops. Judging from the force used to launch the attack during the day, his  The mobile forces should all be outside the city. " Zhang Lingfu shook his head slightly and said: "I can't guess yet, but if something unexpected happens, I believe there will be news soon. Until the situation is unknown, we should stay put.  "Okay." Wang Yaowu nodded in agreement. He didn't dare to send troops out of the city at this time. Who knows if this was Zhang Xinghan's trick to lure the enemy. After these few days of fighting, he had a clear understanding of the power of the Northeast Army's tank troops.  cognition.  If you encounter them in the wild, you will be out of luck.  ……………………… Because of the unwavering of the commander of the Jincheng defendant Zhao Mingxiang, it not only caused Jincheng to be easily occupied by the Northeast Army Airborne Force.  It also caused Tianjingguan to fall into the crisis of being attacked from two sides by the Northeast Army, but it was completely unaware of it.  The marching distance from Puyang to Tianjingguan is about more than 170 kilometers. This is the result of choosing a shortcut as much as possible.  Fortunately, in addition to the tank division, the troops under Zhang Xinghan and the reorganized 1st Division are also equipped with sufficient military vehicles.  From around eight o'clock in the evening, they evacuated Puyang to ten o'clock the next morning. After nearly fourteen hours of urgent marching, they marched more than three hundred miles and finally arrived at Tianjing Pass, forty-five miles southwest of Jincheng.  Before Zhang Xinghan led his troops to Tianjing Pass, Wang Longxiang also personally led 300 elite paratroopers to quietly sneak in behind Tianjing Pass. At the same time, dozens of bombers from the Air Force also arrived as scheduled.  Without any hesitation, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered his troops to attack Tianjingguan.  The tank division and the air force jointly carried out a fierce artillery fire and bombing baptism at Tianjingguan.  There was a reinforced battalion of the Jinsui Army stationed above Tianjingguan, with about 700 troops. It was suddenly attacked and closed.The Jinsui army was horrified and rushed to the wall to block the attack.  But they were hit by fierce artillery fire and bombing, causing heavy casualties and wails all over the land.  Just when the defenders focused their main attention on the front of the pass, resisting the Northeast Army's attack with all their strength, and quickly sent a message to Jincheng for help, Wang Longxiang led 300 elite paratroopers to suddenly break out from the pass.  Like a sharp blade, it quickly rushed to the wall. The defenders could not resist, a few were annihilated, and most of them surrendered.  Zhang Xinghan easily captured Tianjingguan, the gateway to the Three Jin Dynasties and the fortress of the Henan and Jin Dynasties.  ?????………… One day later, Xuchang.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was discussing the military situation with Bai Chongxi and others when suddenly the head of the bodyguard Wang Shihe came in from outside holding a telegram with a hurried expression.  "Commitment, something bad has happened." Wang Shihe saluted.  "What happened?" Seeing Wang Shihe in such a panic, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but asked with his heart skipping a beat.  Wang Shihe picked up the telegram in his hand and said: "I just received the latest news from the military commander. Jincheng and Tianjing, the important places in Henan and Shanxi, were all lost the night before yesterday. The Northeast Army has completely cut off the connection between the three Jin and the Central Plains." "What?  ? Chairman Jiang, Bai Chongxi and others were shocked when they heard this, and they all stood up. "How is this possible?  Wasn't Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army pinned down by Zhang Lingfu and Wang Yaowu under Puyang City?  Puyang is hundreds of miles away from Jincheng. Can Zhang Xinghan fly?  "Chairman Chiang exclaimed in disbelief. Bai Chongxi also couldn't believe it, and said: "Even if Zhang Xinghan ran hundreds of miles, it would be impossible to capture Tianjingguan and Jincheng at the same time. Why didn't we get any information in advance?  Isn’t there nearly a division of Jinsui Army stationed in Jincheng and Tianjingguan?  What do they do for food?  " "Commander Bai is right. Tianjing Pass and Jincheng are both dangerous passes that only one man can pass and no one can open. If the former is attacked, the Jincheng defenders will get the news immediately. Not only will they have enough time to prepare, but they will also have the opportunity to attack.  Friendly forces from all over the country are sending messages asking for help and warning, but we don’t even have any news at all?  "Hu Zongnan, who came to Xuchang to report on his duties, also questioned with great confusion. Wang Shihe said: "You guys don't know something. According to the intelligence detected by the Military Command Bureau, Zhang Xinghan used his airborne paratroopers to sneak attack Jincheng at night.  Zhao Mingxiang fled without fighting, which not only caused the fall of Jincheng, but also put Tianjing Pass in unknown danger.  After Zhang Xinghan learned that the surprise attack on Jincheng was successful, he quickly led his troops to leave the Puyang battlefield and marched hundreds of miles overnight to attack Tianjing Pass. Under the attack from two sides by the Northeast Army, Tianjing Pass was also broken and fell. A few of the defenders were killed and most of them surrendered.  !  " After listening to Wang Shihe's report, Chairman Jiang was already livid with anger. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Order Dai Li to kill Zhao Mingxiang at all costs. This bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death has directly ruined hundreds of thousands of people in Jinsui.  The army caused immeasurable losses to the entire war situation. Even if I could be cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart.  "  At the same time, in Taiyuan City, Yan Xishan's official residence. After listening to Yang Aiyuan's report, Yan Laoxi couldn't help but jumped three feet high and cursed angrily: "Zhao Mingxiang, this bastard, not only failed me, but  You have such a heavy trust, yet you put hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Third Jin Dynasty in danger. Damn it, damn it!  " "Chairman, please suspend the anger of Thunder. Now that things have happened, Zhao Mingxiang and his remaining troops have escaped into the mountains and forests. They will be difficult to find in a short time. We should still focus on the overall situation.  "Although Yang Aiyuan also hated Zhao Mingxiang deeply, he still tried his best to restrain his anger and remained calm to persuade. Yan Xishan blushed with anger, his neck was thick, and his breathing was rapid. After a long time, he calmed down his excitement slightly and asked Yang Aiyuan: "Xing Ru  , do you have any good ideas?  Now that Jincheng and Tianjing Pass have been captured by the Northeast Army, we are strategically passive. If Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass are lost again, we will really become a turtle in the urn.  " Yang Aiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman, for the current plan, the only way is to quickly send heavy troops south to storm Jincheng, and then contact Chairman Chiang and ask him to send the Central Army to storm Tianjing Pass.  Although the two strategic locations have been captured by the Northeastern Army, fortunately, this is only a partial division of the Northeastern Army. The strength is not enough, and no reinforcements will arrive in a short time.  As long as we can seize Jincheng and Tianjing Pass before Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass are breached by the Northeastern Army, and open up the connection between the Three Jins and the Central Plains, then millions of Central Army reinforcements will continue to arrive for reinforcements, and everything is still possible!  "Okay, let's do it like this, Xingru, I will leave this matter to your full supervision and tell the attacking troops that if Jincheng and Tianjing Pass cannot be recaptured, all officers above the battalion will be beheaded."?No tolerance!  "Yan Xishan made up his mind and said fiercely. "Yes.  "Yang Aiyuan immediately bowed his head in response, quickly accepted the order and left. "Xuchang, when Chairman Chiang's anger subsided, Bai Chongxi, who had been deep in thought, also said to Chairman Chiang: "Commitment, the top priority is not  To investigate the responsibility, we should immediately organize troops and join forces with the Jinsui Army to storm Jincheng and Tianjingguan before the Northeast Army has a stable foothold and insufficient troops.  As long as we can recapture Tianjingguan and Jincheng in time, there is still a chance to save the situation.  "(To be continued.)

    Bai Chongxi's analysis was very reasonable, but Chairman Chiang's strategic vision could not be understood so quickly, just when he was hesitating.  . Another attendant walked in quickly with a piece of telegram, saluted Chairman Chiang and said: "Chairman, Yan Xishan from Taiyuan is calling." Wang Shihe stepped forward to take the telegram and sent it to Chairman Chiang respectfully.  Chairman Chiang took the telegram, read it over, turned to Bai Chongxi and said: "Jiansheng, it seems that someone in the Jinsui Army agrees with your opinion!" After speaking, he handed the telegram to Bai Chongxi, who accepted it.  After reading the message, he said: "This must be Yang Aiyuan's plan. It is not the most appropriate and correct choice at the moment. Please don't hesitate any longer and give the order quickly. If you waste one more minute, we can take back Jincheng and the patio."  The pass will be even more difficult." With Yan Xishan's urgent message, Chairman Jiang immediately made up his mind, nodded, and immediately said to Hu Zongnan: "Shoushan, you go back immediately, the 51st Division and  The two divisions of the 17th Army are also under your unified command. They will immediately launch an attack on Tianjing Pass and must recapture Tianjing Pass within three days! " "Yes." Hu Zongnan was secretly happy when he heard this, and immediately stood up and accepted the order.  After watching Hu Zongnan leave, Chairman Jiang said with a somewhat dejected look: "Jiansheng, Zhang Xinghan is so difficult to deal with, how sure are you of the upcoming battle?" Bai Chongxi also said with a solemn face: "Commission, speaking from your heart,  In terms of tactical command and ability to adapt to circumstances, Zhang Xinghan is far above you and me, and he is very proficient in the use of modern multi-arms joint operations. If his identity were not well documented, the humble official would even think that he may not be the same as us.  A man of the times. This person's combat command often surprises his opponents. Many of his battles are unheard of, let alone experienced personally. We never expected that the Northeast Military Academy could cultivate such talents. Objectively speaking, the country has this.  Talent, the nation is very lucky to have such a hero. It’s a pity that this man is too ambitious. The committee and the national government have treated him so favorably. He is already a very popular minister, but he is still greedy, so the current war situation is hopeless.  Unless you, Chairman, are willing to accept his proposal to reorganize the National Government and hold a popular vote, Chairman Chiang will certainly not agree. Although the current situation is slightly unfavorable to the Central Army.  , but he still has hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army troops under his command, as well as the support of local warlords such as the Guangxi clique.  "Then we can only do our best and obey fate." Bai Chongxi sighed helplessly, and suddenly remembered an important thing, and said seriously to Chairman Jiang: "Assignment, humble position, but there is a way to increase the chance of winning.  "Oh? Is there any way? Jiansheng, please tell me." Chairman Jiang became interested and said curiously.  "In order to encourage the officers and soldiers of the three armies to move forward bravely, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is invited to come to Jiyuan County on the front line of Tianjingguan to command the troops' offensive. If the officers and soldiers of the Three Armed Forces hear that the Chairman's presence is in person, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted. By then, the officers and soldiers of the Three Armed Forces will fight for their lives and fight bravely without fear of death.  If we attack Tianjing Pass fiercely, we might be able to break it in ten days," Bai Chongxi said.  Hearing this, Chairman Jiang frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Chongxi with some suspicion between his brows. When he saw that there was no malice in his eyes and he was sincere, he was slightly relieved.  After a pause, he said: "Jiyuan is too far forward and safety cannot be guaranteed. In my opinion, we should sit in Luoyang and command the overall battle." Bai Chongxi's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, thinking that you, Chiang Kai-shek, are still afraid of death.  Ah, you don’t even have the courage to do so, and you still want to fight Zhang Xinghan?  But thinking of this, some questions in Bai Chongxi's mind suddenly became clear. No wonder Zhang Xinghan was able to win every battle and was invincible in every attack.  Good military quality and advanced weapons and equipment are important, but the most important thing is Zhang Xinghan himself.  As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he has millions of troops at his disposal, but he must go forward in every battle. Whether he fights alone or with heavy troops, whether he is trapped in a tight siege or on an expedition abroad, Zhang Xinghan always fights on the front line with the army.  .  He lives and dies together with his soldiers, advances and retreats together. In this way, the three armies are motivated and united as one, and they are invincible.  “However, as Chairman Chiang, he had his concerns and deeper considerations.  The first is that he knows that the powerful warlords in Guangxi and other places are only cooperating with him due to the situation, and they are not in harmony with each other. If there is a chance, they are likely to add insult to injury, add insult to injury, and replace him.  “Then there are Zhang Xinghan’s terrifying tank assault troops and the elusive paratrooper airborne troops.  Although they say they have to stick to Tianjingguan and Jincheng, there are no planes in Jinchengfield, but who knows if Zhang Xinghan will send tank troops to attack Jiyuan County at all costs once he learns that he is on the front line in person.  In other words, no one knows whether Zhang Xinghan has a second airborne force.  So Chairman Chiang had to be careful.  “I’m afraid that Bai Chongxi and others will sell him out at the most critical moment.  ……………… In Jincheng, the former Jinsui Army garrison brigade headquarters.  This has become Zhang Xinghan’s temporary headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan left Liu Jianguo to lead a regiment to garrison Tianjingguan, while he led other troops to Jincheng.  In the war room of the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was listening to Guo Zhong's report on the battle damage and results during this period.  Now excluding the troops left behind in Dezhou and other places, as well as the losses in the Battle of Puyang, Zhang Xinghan still has an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment, a baggage regiment, two and a half tank regiments, plus two guard battalions and an airborne brigade.  The total strength is about 20,000.  After reporting the battle damage and other matters, Guo Zhong had just handed over the documents in his hand when Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the Air Force's material airdrop going?" "Today, the Air Force has airdropped two tons of gasoline for us.  , two tons of grain and two bases of ammunition." Guo Zhong replied excitedly: "Because the south of Jincheng to Tianjingguan is a safe area, there is basically no loss of these supplies, and they are all in our hands." "Well, order the air force.  The airdrop will continue tomorrow, and we may have to hold on at Tianjingguan for a while in the coming days. In order to prevent the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army from counterattacking, we must store as much oil, food, weapons and ammunition as possible." Zhang Xinghan.  He nodded with satisfaction.  "What do you mean by the chief officer, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army will launch a massive counterattack next?" Guo Zhong asked curiously when he heard that Zhang Xinghan was preparing to hold on for a long time.  "It is inevitable that we captured Tianjing and Jincheng, which is like cutting off the connection and retreat between the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. The importance of Jincheng and Tianjingguan is self-evident. In this way, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army  They will definitely fight back at any cost," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then how long do we have to hold on? We have less than 20,000 people, will our troops be insufficient?" Guo Zhong was a little worried about Zhang Xinghan's safety.  "This depends on when Liu Guodong and Huang Xiansheng can break through Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass. As long as they can march straight into Taiyuan, Yan Xishan will definitely not be able to sit still. The hundreds of thousands of Jin-Sui troops will definitely be defeated. By then we will be defeated.  The strategic purpose has been achieved," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Then sir, what do we need to do next?" Guo Zhong asked.  "If necessary, inform the brothers to stop resting and immediately go to the valley north of Jincheng to build field defense positions to prepare to resist the attack of the Jinsui Army. At the same time, all ministries should also strengthen the city defense fortifications in Jincheng and Tianjingguan to make long-term defense plans.  Just in case." Zhang Xinghan said.  A day and a night had passed since they captured Jincheng and Tianjing Pass, and it was almost time for the soldiers under their command to rest.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan did not let his officers and soldiers seize the time to repair the defensive positions as soon as they captured Tianjingguan and Jincheng was because the officers and soldiers in each department were too tired.  Since moving south from Cangzhou, they have traveled thousands of miles and barely had a good night's sleep or a full meal. Even though they have an iron-like strong willpower and even if they have car wheels to travel, they are still flesh and blood.  Also needs some rest.  Fortunately, after a day and night of carnival rest, the physical strength and spirit of the officers and soldiers have been well restored, and the various suppressed emotions accumulated during this period have also been well vented.  They are once again the high-spirited, majestic and mighty troops, elites who have fought in every battle.  "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded, followed the order and turned around to leave.  While Zhang Xinghan was seizing the time to repair the fortifications in Jincheng, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army also began large-scale mobilization.  A large number of Jinsui troops marched southward from Taiyuan and other places at starry night and headed to Changzhi to gather in preparation for attacking Jincheng from the north.  North of the Yellow River, Wang Yaowu's 51st Army of the Central Army, Tang Enbo's 4th Division of the 17th Army, Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's 25th Division also moved towards Xinxiang and Jiaozuo.  It is worth mentioning that after Xu Tingyao left Tangyin County and returned to the army, Chairman Chiang ordered Tang Enbo to send someone to escort Xu Tingyao to Luoyang to recuperate on the grounds of recuperating his injuries, and then transferred him back to Nanjing.  The commander of the 17th Army is temporarily appointed as acting commander by Tang Enbo.  Just as the Battle of Jincheng was about to break out, the offensive against Shanxi by the 1st and 3rd Group Armies of the Northeast Army also entered a fever pitch.  On the Zhengtai line, Huang XianshengThanks to the absolute superiority of our own air force, tanks, and artillery, Shang Zhen's tens of thousands of troops were unable to fight back and were retreating steadily.  Three days ago, Shijiazhuang and other important places on the Zhengtai Line were captured. Now Shang Zhen sent reinforcements to Taiyuan to defend important places on the inner Great Wall such as Jingxing Pass.  Huang Xiansheng's army continued to attack fiercely. The two sides fought fiercely, with rivers of blood flowing and heavy casualties.  In the direction of Yanmen Pass, Liu Guodong led his army from the direction of Datong to the south, and they advanced all the way to the Yanmen Pass area, where they encountered stubborn resistance from the Shanxi-Sui Army.  Furthermore, the remnants of Song Zheyuan's 29th Army and the remnants of the Northeastern Army Tang Yulin have repeatedly attacked the transportation and supply lines of the 3rd Group Army, causing Liu Guodong's troops to make slow progress, so the battle situation is still stalemate around Yanmen Pass.  ps: The compensation for the third update has been completed.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 460: Battle of Jincheng (2)

    At Tianjing Pass, Zhang Xinghan left Liu Jianguo an entire infantry regiment with nearly 3,000 troops.  . The purpose is to ensure the safety of Tianjingguan.  Due to the terrain, if the defenders built a field defense position in front of the pass, it would be extremely useless.  So the real defense relies on steep walls.  After all, the precipitous nature of Tianjingguan, one of the Eight Passes of Taihang, is by no means an unwarranted reputation.  Also due to terrain restrictions, too many troops cannot be put into use at Tianjingguan. Two-thirds of the 3,000 men are already in reserve in case of emergency.  The attacker will also be restricted by the steep mountains and steep terrain on both sides of the wall, and will not be able to invest too many troops in the attack at one time.  The scale of the battle between the two sides is basically only about one regiment.  This also provides great convenience for the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to hold on.  It also greatly offset the advantage of the Central Army in strength. As long as the defenders have sufficient ammunition, they can hold on as long as possible.  But despite the situation, Liu Jianguo, who was in charge of command, became much more cautious after experiencing the failure in the Battle of Puyang.  At twelve o'clock in the evening, he led the guards to patrol the wall again.  Since there are nearly 3,000 people at Tianjing Pass, the officers and soldiers on duty can take turns taking turns for several hours, so the officers and soldiers are in good spirits.  When hundreds of Northeastern officers and soldiers on duty saw Liu Jianguo’s arrival, they all stood up and saluted to show respect.  Liu Jianguo waved his hands and nodded one by one, and when he met individual soldiers who were injured on duty, he would step forward to express condolences alone.  Being blown by the cold night wind, Liu Jianguo completed his inspection and returned to his temporary residence, feeling no longer sleepy for the time being.  So he called an adjutant to play chess with him.  Time passed by quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was past two o'clock in the morning. This is the time when a person's body functions are the most exhausted and most in need of rest and sleep in the twenty-four hours.  Even if you have slept all day during the day, you will inevitably yawn twice at this time.  After playing chess with the adjutant for nearly two hours, Liu Jianguo was also a little sleepy. The adjutant saw this and said, "Deputy Commander, do you want to take a rest first?" Liu Jianguo yawned and said, "What time is it now?" Adjutant  He looked at his watch and said, "It's two fifteen in the morning." "Oh, come and accompany me to patrol the wall again." Liu Jianguo said in line with the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes, and sailing the ten thousand year ship.  The adjutant was a little surprised: "Deputy commander, it's already so late. Are you still going on patrol without rest?" "Before leaving, the commander-in-chief reminded me repeatedly that we must be extremely careful, especially at night, and beware of possible enemy attacks.  Night attack. So we'd better be cautious and sleep less at night, so we can make up for it during the day." As he said that, Liu Jianguo had already picked up a helmet and stood up.  The adjutant said no more, and followed Liu Jianguo out with secret admiration.  At this time, the night breeze blew gently, making people feel less sleepy. Liu Jianguo and his adjutant shook their heads and strode forward.  " Although the officers and soldiers looked a little sleepy, no one was lazy, and they all worked hard to stay at their posts.  Liu Jianguo nodded with satisfaction and continued his inspection with his adjutant.  At the same time, on a narrow path leading to Tianjingguan, a group of black shadows were moving forward quickly and vigilantly.  As the black shadow at the front stopped, the hundreds of people who followed also stopped.  "In the hotel, three miles ahead is the Tianjing Pass wall." The black figure in the lead turned around and said to the person behind him.  These black figures are not ghosts, but a night attack force of the Central Army. This person called Brigade is none other than the 51st Division of the Central Army that shined in the Battle of Puyang and was upgraded several levels.  Zhang Lingfu, deputy division commander and major general of the 59th Brigade.  Together with Wang Yaowu, he was ordered to lead the 51st Division into Jiaozuo, preparing to unite all friendly forces to attack Tianjing Pass.  Zhang Lingfu led an elite battalion under his command to march urgently at night. Adhering to the principle of rapidity, he got ahead of all friendly forces. Even the 59th Brigade of his headquarters was left behind.  "Obviously, Zhang Lingfu knew how to use troops and wanted to take Tianjingguan by surprise while the Northeast Army was still on its feet.  It is self-evident that Tianjingguan is important to both the Northeast Army and the Central Army.  If he, Zhang Lingfu, can win Tianjing Pass, he will be the most heroic figure in this battle. He will be more dazzling and famous all over the world than the Battle of Puyang.  Looking at his military style and character, Zhang Lingfu’s?, young and promising, brave and resourceful, and good at combining right and wrong, he can be said to be a rare general.  “However, everyone has character weaknesses, and such a young Zhang Lingfu is no exception.  He is eager to show off his passion, but subconsciously ignores the strength of his opponent.  He led his troops with great speed and marched overnight. Even though he could achieve unexpected results, the ultimate goal of Zhang Xinghan's troops to fight thousands of miles was Tianjing Pass and Jincheng.  How could he not know the important names here, so he basically considered all possible situations that he might encounter. Before leaving, he strictly told Liu Jianguo to be vigilant, especially to be prepared for night attacks by the Central Army.  In addition, Liu Jianguo himself also suffered a defeat in Puyang. Apart from learning from the pain, he also had a strong desire to avenge his previous humiliation. He was also grateful for Zhang Xinghan's regard for him without punishing him, and he wanted to repay him with a good performance immediately.  With all the factors added together, the factors that contributed to the success of Zhang Lingfu’s surprise attack tonight were already very low.  "Brothers, Tianjing Pass is right in front of us. If we capture it in one go, we will be the greatest contributors to the party and the country. The committee will personally commend you. Now, everyone rushes up with me to create the glory that belongs to our 59th Brigade! Glory will always belong to us.  Us!" After Zhang Lingfu roared excitedly, he took the lead and rushed forward with his submachine gun.  Nearly five hundred elite members of the Central Army with surging blood followed them to the death, and an invisible murderous aura filled the air under the night.  On the wall, Liu Jianguo and his adjutant took some guards on a tour and were heading back to their residence.  Suddenly, there was a strange sound coming from under the wall.  Liu Jianguo and the adjutant stopped, looked at each other, and asked, "What's the sound?" "I seem to have heard it too." After saying that, the adjutant stretched his head out of the wall and took it from a soldier on duty.  Passing a torch, I wanted to see what was going on below.  At this moment, two or three rapid submachine gun clicks suddenly sounded. The adjutant who was looking over was startled. He let go of the torch in his hand and fell toward the city. His body immediately fell straight back.  "No, there are enemies." The soldier who was holding the torch noticed the dark enemy troops outside the city through the light of the fallen torch, and immediately shouted miserably.  Liu Jianguo supported the adjutant with eyes wide open: "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao." The adjutant named Zhao was shot in the face and forehead and had already died. At this time, all the defenders on the wall were alerted.  They all took the semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns on their backs and hid behind the walls.  There were gunshots outside the city, and the bullets hit the wall and released a series of sparks.  Liu Jianguo pulled out his gun in grief and anger, and shouted sternly: "Brothers, beat me hard." The guards and the surrounding defenders opened fire one after another, rifles and submachine guns fired cross-fire, and the dense bullets were like small meteors.  Usually they splash outside the city.  The defenders resting in the pass were awakened one after another, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they began to reinforce the pass wall.  Outside the city, after a fierce exchange of firepower, the night attack team brought by Zhang Lingfu had killed and injured dozens of people due to the lack of effective bunkers.  An officer said in a panic: "Brigade, the situation seems not good, the enemy seems to be prepared!" "Order brothers, blow open the city gate for me, and attack it at all costs!" Zhang Lingfu held a gun in his hand.  He fired a submachine gun at the top of the city and ordered loudly.  "Yes!" The officer responded loudly, and then led a few blasters towards the city gate.  On the city wall, Liu Jianguo saw that the enemy firepower outside the city was also very strong, but he did not know the truth. In order to prevent the enemy from blowing up the city gate, he immediately shouted: "Hand grenades, throw grenades for me, quickly!"  No matter how many enemy troops there are, if the city gate is blown open, the advantage of being at a high altitude at Jingguan Pass will be gone.  In addition, the Northeastern Army liked to use this move when attacking a city, so Liu Jianguo had to guard against it.  As soon as Liu Jianguo finished speaking, about 20 defenders untied their grenades, pulled the fuse and threw them towards the city wall.  "Swish, swish, swish" More than 20 grenades fell down with sparks and squeaking.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions suddenly rose from under the city wall, and the officers and blasters sent by Zhang Lingfu were swallowed up by the fire on the spot.  The dazzling fire briefly drove away the darkness outside the city, giving the defenders on the city wall a rare opportunity to take aim. A hail of bullets came down, and no fewer than a dozen Central Army soldiers fell down.  &nbspZhang Lingfu was so angry that he turned around and shouted: "Bring me a pack of explosives and blow up the city gate!" A personal adjutant stopped him quickly and advised with a sad face: "In the hotel, the defenders at Tianjing Pass are heavily guarded. They  Reinforcements are landing on the city one after another. The fighter plane has passed, so we should withdraw as soon as possible." Zhang Lingfu was obviously unmoved and insisted on charging in person, but the adjutant stopped him.  At this moment, the reinforcements of the Northeastern Army in the pass rushed to the pass wall one after another. The firepower of the pass increased greatly, and the casualties of Zhang Lingfu's offensive troops increased sharply.  Seeing that there was nothing he could do, and his subordinates desperately trying to persuade him, Zhang Lingfu had no choice but to grit his teeth and order a retreat.  Soon, the Central Army, which suffered heavy casualties, quietly receded like a tide, the fierce gunfire and explosions also disappeared, and Tianjing Pass returned to its original silence.  Only the wounded soldiers wailing from time to time on the city wall, and the medical soldiers busily shuttled back and forth carrying stretchers.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 461: Battle of Jincheng (3)

    In Jincheng, it was just dawn, and Zhang Xinghan was washing up. Guo Zhong came in excitedly from outside and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "General sir, I just received a telegram from Commander Liu from Tianjingguan. At about two o'clock last night, there was a person.  A branch of the Central Army attempted to sneak attack Tianjingguan at night, but was discovered by our defenders and defeated. Zhang Xinghan rinsed his mouth and said: "It seems that the Central Army should not be underestimated. Call Jianguo back and reward him."  "Good job," he said. "You must not be careless and stay vigilant." "Yes." Guo Zhong took the order and left.  Another day passed, the 51st Division of the Central Army north of the Yellow River, the divisions of the 17th Army, and the garrison troops in Xinxiang and other places, plus Hu Zongnan, had just transferred two divisions of reinforcements from the south of the Yellow River.  A total of five or six divisions, with more than 70,000 people, finally gathered in front of Tianjing Pass.  Hu Zongnan was given full authority to command this battle by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. The headquarters was located in Jiyuan County, not far from Tianjingguan. It could be said that he was personally commanding the front line.  And Chairman Chiang moved his headquarters to Luoyang.  At the same time, Shanxi's elite Jinsui Army, about three divisions and two brigades plus several local security regiments, numbering about 50,000 people, also arrived in Changzhi under the personal leadership of Yang Aiyuan.  Zhang Xinghan, through the Secrecy Bureau and his own Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, closely monitored the situation of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army in the north and south.  In the Jincheng command room, Zhang Xinghan stared at the map for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, how are the construction of the fortifications in the north of the city going?" "It's basically completed, and the deficiencies are currently being reinforced and repaired." Guo Zhong replied.  road.  "Very good." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Order the 2nd Regiment to station immediately, and send an additional tank regiment to be deployed behind the infantry defense position. Once the enemy launches a large-scale attack, fire at the enemy with intensive artillery fire to suppress it."  "Yes." Just when Guo Zhong was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Xinghan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Zhongzi, add one to each defensive force. No one is allowed to retreat without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished!"  " "Yes." Guo Zhong stood up and responded louder, then turned around and left as ordered. ?… ?Jiyuan County, Central Army Jincheng Battle, General Headquarters.  Bai Chongxi, on the order of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, went to Jiyuan in person to meet with generals above the division level to provide encouragement before the battle and boost the morale of the troops.  Accompanied by Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and other favorite generals of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the meeting is reviewing the soldiers of Wang Yaowu’s 51st Division who made outstanding military exploits in Puyang.  Zhang Lingfu, deputy division commander, was waiting to leave.  Bai Chongxi deliberately stopped, looked up and down, and couldn't help but nod in praise: "The general has a dignified appearance. He is wise and courageous. He is indeed a talented person and a pillar of the party and the country!" "Thank you to the General Staff for the praise, Lingfu is well-deserved!  "The look in Zhang Lingfu's eyes was a bit complicated, with a mixture of proud joy and a little loss.  People like Bai Chongxi have already perfected their ability to observe words and emotions.  At that moment, he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "In the Battle of Puyang, you became famous all over the world and greatly saved the unfavorable battle situation. The committee members all praised you. But I think you seem to have something on your mind?" Wang Yaowu stood aside to replace Zhang Lingfu.  He answered: "Commander Bai, you don't know something. Last night, Lingfu led a battalion to march overnight to attack Tianjing Pass. Unexpectedly, the defenders were well prepared and killed many brothers. So he feels a little guilty now."  Bai Chongxi had actually known the news for a long time. Today he just wanted to take this opportunity to give the young and energetic Zhang Lingfu a hard time to prevent him from committing a military taboo in the future because of his arrogance and eagerness to win.  deficit.  He immediately pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? Lingfu is indeed a contemporary tiger general with both wisdom and courage. This move is a model for party leaders." After Bai Chongxi, the chief of general staff, said this, although  It seems to be a deliberate promotion, but Zhang Lingfu is also very useful. It is like eating a popsicle in the summer and feeling refreshed.  But on the surface, he still had a serious face and said humbly: "General Bai has over-praised. Lingfu is just doing his duty as a soldier."  A hero, given time, will become a hero of the nation and a pillar of the party and the country. However, Bai has two personal opinions that he hopes General Lingfu can use as a reference. The most important thing for a general is to grasp the character of his mind and always remember to win without being arrogant.  The meaning of the phrase "Don't give up on defeat" is especially important when facing a cunning opponent like Zhang Xinghan who has been famous for a long time. He and his subordinates may suffer the same loss once, but they will never suffer a second time.  . Especially some surprise attacks at night, Zhang Xinghan.The best at it, you can't help but guard against it.  "Bai Chongxi looked meaningfully at Zhang Lingfu, who was already deep in thought, and suddenly said: "Of course, Bai's words are just suggestions. They can be used as reference for generals when they lead troops to fight against the enemy in the future. If so,  Lingfu and the generals can just ignore the inappropriateness and forget about it, haha.  " Zhang Lingfu didn't think so. After he had figured out some things, he admired Bai Chongxi in his heart. He immediately stood up and said: "Thank you, President Bai, for the tip. Lingfu will always remember the teachings of the General Staff and will not forget them throughout his life.  " Bai Chongxi looked at Zhang Lingfu with approval, nodded, and continued to walk forward surrounded by everyone. After a round of inspection, Bai Chongxi and Hu Zongnan convened officers at division level and above from each unit to hold a pre-war discussion  The meeting. Zhang Lingfu, who is the deputy commander of the 51st Division and the major general of the 59th Brigade, was granted an exception by Bai Chongxi to attend the meeting. Hu Zongnan had no objection to this, and the same was true for the other division commanders present. Everyone knew that Zhang Lingfu was now present.  He is a popular figure in the eyes of the principal and Chief Bai, and his career is just around the corner. Moreover, Zhang Lingfu was able to block Zhang Xinghan, who had always been invincible, at Puyang City, and was helpless. This fact also impressed many people.  In the first place, after the two exchanged glances, Bai Chongxi stopped being polite and cleared his throat: "Everyone, the military situation is urgent.  I won't say any polite words.  I believe you all know the importance of Tianjing Pass. I don’t think I need to repeat it too much. In one sentence, within three days.  It must be taken back at any cost.  This is the deadline set by the committee. If it cannot be completed, I don’t think I need to say the result. All of you here are Huangpu heroes trained by the committee. I believe that you will never disappoint the committee or your principal.  of.  Therefore, we ask that you all work together and cooperate sincerely.  Strive to break the Tianjing Pass within three days.  " "Next, your Commander-in-Chief Hu will issue specific combat tasks to you"  Under the Tianjing Pass, artillery fire continued. Explosions continued, and tens of thousands of Central Army troops launched an attack on the Guan Wall.  There was another tidal charge, but they were stubbornly repelled by the Northeastern Army on the wall. Bodies were everywhere inside and outside the wall, and there were rivers of blood. The ground shook and the mountains shook.  The sound resounded in all directions. The thick smoke almost covered the entire sky. The thick smoke made it difficult for Liu Jianguo to breathe, but at the moment he couldn't care about these unimportant things.  Despite the dense rain of bullets flying from outside the pass, he went back and forth to cheer up his own soldiers, and his desperate efforts really inspired the majority of the Northeastern Army's deputy commander-in-chief Liu Jianguo.  Fighting side by side with them without fear of death, we will advance and retreat together, live and die together! As ordinary soldiers, what else can they say, what else should they be afraid of? In a word, most of them are from the Northeast.  The most direct and common thought in the minds of the big-headed soldiers at this time was “Pfft!  "A Northeast Army defender machine gunner was suddenly hit on the forehead by a bullet fired from an unknown source, and fell straight back. Liu Jianguo, who happened to be patrolling here, saw this, and without saying a word, he immediately stepped forward and fired the machine gun.  The gunman's MG34 general-purpose machine gun was set up again and fired fiercely at the surging Central Army outside the wall In Jincheng, Zhang Xinghan was patrolling the whole city with his guards. After all, the Central Army came.  Still faster than the Jinsui Army. The fierce battle at Tianjingguan is still going on, but Jincheng is still in peace. The intelligence brought by the reconnaissance plane shows that the Jinsui Army is still dozens of miles away. But Zhang Xinghan has been on the battlefield for a long time.  He would not be fooled by these superficial phenomena. Before the war, the calmer it was, the more dangerous it was. Therefore, he and Guo Zhong took turns leading the guards to inspect the defense areas of various departments, urging the troops to be more vigilant to prevent the Shanxi-Sui Army.  Possible surprise attack. "Headquarters, there is a call from Tianjing Pass. The Central Army has launched no less than fifteen attacks on Tianjing. Both the enemy and us have suffered heavy losses, but Tianjing Pass is still in our hands.  "A communications soldier rushed from a distance and reported urgently. "Has Liu Jianguo requested reinforcements?  "Zhang Xinghan stopped and asked. The communications soldier shook his head and said: "No, Commander Liu said that although the troops suffered heavy casualties, he still has the confidence to hold on and guarantees that he and all the soldiers will live and die with Tianjing Pass.  Fight to the last moment and be the last to stand!  ” &nbsp; "Very good, continue to maintain text contact and report the latest battle situation at Tianjing Pass at any time. In addition, we will generate electricity for the Air Force and increase air firepower assistance to the Tianjing Pass battlefield!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes." The communications soldier stood up and saluted, and quickly took the order and left.  "Let's go, continue patrolling." After watching the signal soldiers go away, Zhang Xinghan turned around and left.  About a platoon of guards started to stand behind them, and supported Zhang Xinghan as he walked forward.  ps: My son has been sick these days. First he has a fever, then a cough, and a runny nose. Recently, the h7n9 virus is raging in Shenzhen. My wife and I are worried every day. The child can't sleep well at night and is always woken up by coughing. So these days  The updates are a bit unstable.  Fortunately, although there is one update a day, it can be made up for three updates the next day. On average, it is two updates a day.  Today is the same, there will be three updates, this is the first one.  Fortunately, my son is feeling much better today. His cough is not that serious, but his nose is still a little runny.  The weather has turned cold recently, brothers, sisters and family members should also pay more attention. Nothing is more important than good health.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 462: The Crisis Is Coming

    On a secret winding mountain road from Changzhi to Jincheng, about two to three thousand Jinsui troops were meandering hard.  The leader, a middle-aged officer, had cold eyes and waved his hands to urge the subordinates behind him from time to time.  With his urging and encouragement, the exhausted soldiers of the Jinsui Army cheered up and moved forward.  A young adjutant next to the middle-aged officer said: "Military seat, according to the map, we still have twenty kilometers to go out of this path and reach behind Tianjing Pass." "Very good, Brother Xingru has a clever plan and knows that the mountain  The path can directly bypass Jincheng and go directly to Tianjing Pass. Zhang Xinghan used his airborne troops to surprise Tianjing Pass. Today, I, Fu Zuoyi, will also attack Tianjing Pass. When we capture Tianjing Pass and surround Jincheng, Zhang Xinghan will not be able to gain wings.  Escaped!" The middle-aged officer turned out to be Fu Zuoyi, commander of the 35th Army.  Like the Central Army, the Jinsui Army also has many factions, including Yan Xishan's Wutai and Dingxiang factions, Xu Yongchang's Guoxian faction, and Fu Zuoyi's Shannan faction.  It turned out that Fu Zuoyi was ordered to garrison the border of Shanxi and Suiyuan, but since most of Suiyuan was captured by the Northeast Army, Fu Zuoyi had an arms deal with Zhang Xinghan.  In order to block the excuses of other generals under his command, and it is not ruled out that he was really afraid that Fu Zuoyi would collude with Zhang Xinghan and betray the Shanxi-Sui Army, so Yan Xishan replaced Fu Zuoyi with Xu Yongchang to guard Yanmen Pass.  Fu Zuoyi was transferred to his old territory of southern Shanxi. This time Yang Aiyuan was ordered to organize an army to counterattack Jincheng. The main component was Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army.  Yang Aiyuan is good at employing people and has a high reputation among the generals of the Jinsui Army. Fu Zuoyi is no exception and cooperates well with Yang Aiyuan's command.  This was the most elite infantry regiment led by Fu Zuoyi.  Starting from Changzhi, we crossed the mountains and ridges under the leadership of local hunters and found this mountain path that Yang Aiyuan accidentally learned about.  Plans to surprise Tianjingguan.  Yang Aiyuan and Fu Zuoyi both know that as long as they surprise Tianjingguan, they will succeed.  After joining forces with the Central Army, the entire Jincheng was immediately surrounded by the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.  Whether Yang Aiyuan or Fu Zuoyi, they all believed that surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army troops, Zhang Xinghan would never be able to escape.  As long as Zhang Xinghan is killed or captured alive, the once powerful Northeast Frontier Defense Force will fall apart in an instant, and its destruction will be a matter of time.  In order to maintain confidentiality, Fu Zuoyi set off.  They did not even inform Hu Zongnan's Central Army of this action. Instead, they planned to wait until they reached Tianjing Pass and were about to take action before sending electricity to contact the Central Army outside the pass for a flanking attack.  "I fantasized about becoming famous all over the world after capturing Tianjing Pass."  Being highly respected, Fu Zuoyi felt that all the fatigue in his body had disappeared and he was filled with infinite power.  He led his adjutant and strode forward and continued to march.  ……………… Changzhi, the Shanxi-Sui Army counterattacked the headquarters of Jincheng.  Yang Aiyuan, who is in charge as the commander-in-chief, is wearing a military uniform. He is holding one hand on his back at the moment, standing in front of the door and looking at the skyline in the courtyard.  His close friend Sun Chu walked out of it, came to Yang Aiyuan, and murmured to himself: "I don't know whether Fu Yisheng can succeed in one fell swoop this time. If he really succeeds, the powerful Northeastern Army will definitely fall apart. Bing Xiaoxue  I really don’t know what the situation in China will be like by then.” Yang Aiyuan said lukewarmly: “If Zhang Xinghan can be gathered together to annihilate Jincheng, it will be certain that he will destroy it.  The situation will be one in which the Central Army dominates. " "Nanjing dominates?" Sun Chu was a little unwilling to accept this result.  He said unwillingly: "Wouldn't that be very detrimental to our Jinsui Army? If that's true, brother Xingru, you shouldn't come up with this trick and trap Zhang Xinghan in a desperate situation." "Don't use this method, the Jinsui Army will  It will be destroyed in an instant, and the entire National Government will be under Zhang Xinghan's control. With this method, although the Central Military Commission will be the dominant one, as long as we don't make too many mistakes, it shouldn't be a problem to recapture Suiyuan, and we may even capture Chahar and  Rehe and other places should have no problem maintaining the current status of the Jinsui Army." Yang Aiyuan said.  "Is that so? Then I'll be relieved." Sun Chu nodded as if he had some understanding. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away off Tianjin Pass, the fierce battle between the Northeast Army and the Central Army is still going on.  Outside the customs, blood flowed everywhere, corpses were strewn in the fields, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Some Central Army soldiers who were not psychologically competent even could not help but retching.  Of course, these people must be reservists who have not been pushed to the front line of fire. The Central Military Commission officers and soldiers who are actually used as commandos and offensive forces have long been numb.  &nbsp; The young man's eyes were full of anger and hatred, and he wished he could rush to the top of the city immediately and kill all those hateful Northeastern troops above.  “These Northeastern guys, damn, their firepower is too powerful and dense. Even the 17th officers and soldiers who have fought against the Japanese have never seen such powerful firepower.  Much better than the Japanese.  What annoys the officers and men of the Central Army the most is actually the bombing and strafing by Northeast Air Force fighter jets that fly in from far away from time to time.  Many of their attacks failed due to heavy casualties due to fierce bombing and strafing by the Northeast Army Air Force.  At the forefront of the attack position, Zhang Lingfu stood in the command post with a steely face. Several adjutants next to him did not even dare to breathe.  Since the attack began, the 59th Brigade has basically been responsible for the main attack, and the 59th Brigade has almost used up all its newly added soldiers.  The casualties of the two main regiments exceeded 60%.  Suddenly, an orderly soldier braved the fierce artillery fire and came to Zhang Lingfu's headquarters along the communication trench.  He was still holding a piece of telegram in his hand. Seeing Zhang Lingfu who was motionless, the messenger opened the telegram and said: "General Zhang, the General Headquarters has sent an order. In view of the excessive casualties of your unit, Commander-in-Chief Hu ordered that the 59th Brigade be dispatched immediately.  Withdraw from the battle and retreat to Jiyuan County for rest. The 25th Division will take over and continue the attack. " Zhang Lingfu responded without looking back: "I understand." After the ordering soldiers left, an adjutant stepped forward with courage.  Asked: "Brigade, can we stop the attack?" Zhang Lingfu did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while, then turned around and said indifferently: "Order the troops to stop the attack immediatelywithdraw!"  The patio was closed, and Liu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the attacking crowd of the Central Army in Guanxia receding quickly like a tide again, and sat down on the city wall with great pain all over his body.  Looking at the red and smoking gun barrel, Liu Jianguo took out half a pack of Hardman cigarettes from his jacket pocket and lit one.  He started to smoke happily. As soon as the sound of gunfire stopped, the medical soldiers and stretcher teams in the pass rushed to the top of the city and began to rescue the wounded.  A medical soldier came to Liu Jianguo. When he saw it was him, he squatted down and asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay? Are you injured?" At this time, Liu Jianguo's body and face were covered with blood, which was very scary.  , only the green smoke that kept spitting out from his mouth showed that he was a living person.  Liu Jianguo took two more puffs of cigarette, grinned and showed his white teeth, smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just a little tired, I'll just lie down and rest for a while. You hurry up and save other injured brothers."  Not daring to disobey, he quickly agreed, stood up and left.  People were coming and going on the wall, and the painful groans and howls of the wounded soldiers were intertwined.  Liu Jianguo was lying behind the wall, looking at his dying subordinates, his eyes could not help but shed tears. Not long ago, they were all a group of young and energetic young men.  However, his long military career also made Liu Jianguo accustomed to life and death. Soon he wiped away his tears, threw out the cigarette butt that was almost burning to the edge of his mouth, closed his eyes and began to rest. He was very tired, really tired. ?? Continuous high-intensity combat is something even a tough man can't stand.  Many people, like him, were very tired, and soon there were deafening snoring sounds on the city wall.  Of course, some reserve officers and soldiers also boarded the city to serve as a guard, responsible for observing the movements of the Central Army who might launch another attack in front of the pass.  Both Liu Jianguo and the Northeast Army soldiers in Tianjing Pass focused their main attention on the Central Army in front of the pass, because behind them was Jincheng, where Commander Zhang, who was similar to the undefeated God of War in their minds, was in charge.  In their view, even if Tianjing Pass is lost, Jincheng cannot be lost. Therefore, subconsciously they all think that the rear is safe and absolutely safe.  No one would have thought that danger was approaching.  Like Liu Jianguo, Zhang Xinghan did not know that there was a hidden mountain path that could bypass Jincheng and reach behind Tianjing Pass.  You must know that Jincheng is surrounded by the steep Taihang Mountains.  Therefore, although Zhang Xinghan was wary and sent a large number of scouts around Jincheng, there were also Air Force reconnaissance planes constantly circling in the sky for reconnaissance.  But he didn’t expect that the Jinsui Army would come out of the mountain forest behind Tianjing Pass. Zhang Xinghan really didn’t expect this.  By the evening of that day, the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which set out from Changzhi, finally arrived north of Jincheng.  "The main seat,"Forty kilometers, the Jinsuijun gang walked for nearly five hours. It seems a little unreasonable, right?  "In the Northeast Army headquarters in Jincheng, after listening to the scouts' report, Guo Zhong questioned. Zhang Xinghan also felt that something was not normal, but the reconnaissance troops did not find anything abnormal, and Tianjing Pass was as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock. " Zhang Xinghan only  Yang Aiyuan's slow motion can be seen as letting the Central Army and the Northeastern Army fight first, so that the Shanxi-Sui Army can reap the benefits.  After the troops finally got out of the rugged and winding mountain path, they were taking the time to rest in the dense forest. Taking advantage of the opportunity for his subordinates to rest, Fu Zuoyi called the communications soldier and ordered: "Send power to Hu Zongnan immediately and inform him.  Our action intention is to ask him to mobilize his troops to attack the city at night to attract the attention of the garrison, cooperate with our actions, and seize the city in one fell swoop!  "

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 463: Falling into tight siege

    It was already dark in Jiyuan County, and the kitchen had prepared a hot and rich dinner early, but Hu Zongnan had no appetite.  . The first day passed like this. Apart from thousands of casualties, there was no substantial progress at all.  As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army in this Jincheng battle, Hu Zongnan was very anxious and worried.  Just when Hu Zongnan was restless and had no appetite at all, suddenly the aide-de-camp Xiong Xianghui walked in quickly, holding a piece of telegram in his hand.  "Xiang Hui, what's wrong?" Hu Zongnan asked, seeing the adjutant's hurried expression.  "General, this is a secret message from the Jinsui Army that the confidential office just received." Xiong Xianghui opened the message and handed it to Hu Zongnan and said, "Take a look." Hu Zongnan said a little surprised: "Jinsui Army?  "I still took the message.  "Yes, the one who generated the electricity was Fu Zuoyi, commander of the 35th Army. The message stated that he had led an assault force to sneak behind Tianjing Pass. He hoped that we could cooperate with them and jointly attack Tianjing Pass." Xiong Xianghui thought.  "What?" Hu Zongnan was startled, and quickly looked at the message, falling into deep thought.  Xiong Xianghui said: "Commander, it is undeniable that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can really win Tianjing Pass, it will not only be able to reverse the situation of this battle, but also besiege the commissioner's henchman, Zhang Xinghan.  In Jincheng. By then, hundreds of thousands of our troops will surround Jincheng. Zhang Xinghan will not be able to escape even if he has wings. Without Zhang Xinghan, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force will soon be destroyed. "What Xiong Xianghui said is exactly what Hu Zongnan was thinking at this moment.  , when I think of killing Zhang Xinghan and eliminating Chairman Chiang's most serious confidant, such a brilliant military exploit.  Hu Zongnan felt like he wanted to jump up and look up to the sky and laugh.  Seeing that Hu Zongnan was immersed in excitement and had not made a decision, Xiong Xianghui couldn't help shouting twice: "Chief seat, chief seat?!" "Huh?" Hu Zongnan finally came back to his senses.  "What should we do? Should we agree to Fu Zuoyi's request?" Xiong Xianghui asked.  "Yes, of course I agree. How can you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Then you immediately send a message to Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming, ordering them to organize an attack immediately and cooperate with the Jinsui Army to capture Tianjing Pass. Remember to make the momentum bigger.  This way the Jinsui Army will have a greater chance of success," Hu Zongnan said with some excitement.  "Yes!" Xiong Xianghui responded loudly and quickly followed the order.  …………… The Central Army has not launched an attack since the failure of the attack in the afternoon. This gave the Northeastern Army defenders including Liu Jianguo in Jingguan a valuable opportunity to rest.  When Liu Jianguo opened his eyes, the sky was completely dark. He asked an adjutant standing in front of him: "How long have I slept?" The adjutant replied: "Almost two and a half hours." "It's been so long.  Did it happen? The Central Army didn't launch an attack?" Liu Jianguo stood up, rubbed his sore arms and legs, and looked at the dark outer road.  "After all, the Central Army is also a human being. They have been attacking for a whole day, do they need to rest?" the adjutant said.  "I'm going to have something to eat first. You keep an eye here and urge the brothers. The closer it is at night, the less careless they are to prevent the enemy from attacking at night." Liu Jianguo said.  "Yes, please rest assured, sir, you will fulfill your duties in your humble position." The adjutant quickly stepped forward and responded.  Liu Jianguo had just come down from the city, when suddenly there were shouts of killing outside the pass. Looking up, he saw a large number of fireballs roaring in the night sky towards Tianjing Pass.  "Those are enemy shells?!" Liu Jianguo's pupils suddenly tightened and he quickly ducked aside.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" A round of shells landed on the wall, and a violent explosion occurred inside the pass.  Dazzling firelights rose up from the ground, almost lighting up the entire night sky.  After escaping this round of shelling, Liu Jianguo immediately turned around and ran towards the city wall without thinking too much.  When they came to the top of the city, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Be careful, don't panic, hide everyone from me!" Although the Central Army's night attack came suddenly, fortunately, the defenders were all elite Northeast Army soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.  , and Liu Jianguo returned to the city to take command regardless of the danger, and most of them calmly hid behind the fortifications.  No matter how violent the explosions were, they happened not far away from them.  The artillery fire of the Central Army looks scary. In fact, the soldiers of the Northeast Army know that it is much worse than the size of their own artillery.  Sure enough, the bombardment only lasted less than ten minutes before it began to extend, and then it was time to fight with real swords and guns.It's time.  Liu Jianguo stood up from behind a pile of wall bunkers and shouted loudly: "Launch the illumination bombs, quickly!" The signal soldiers had already launched the illumination bombs into the sky. Under the bright light of more than a dozen illumination bombs, the darkness was instantly driven away, and a large area outside the city  The clearing was as bright as day.  The whereabouts of the Central Army, which was charging into the Guanqiang in dark groups, was exposed.  This time, there was no need for Liu Jianguo to give orders, and the defenders opened fire one after another. ?????????? General machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles fired hot bullets one after another.  These dense bullets intertwined into a hail of death bullets, pouring down with a whistling sound.  Screams came from the crowd of soldiers in the central government, and countless people were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.  Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the attacking troops outside the city also opened fire and fired back. There was a loud burst of gunfire, and dense bullets shuttled back and forth like meteors. The casualties on both sides increased sharply.  At this moment, Fu Zuoyi, leading a regiment of elite Jinsui troops, was quietly approaching Tianjing Pass under the cover of night.  Listening to the approaching gunfire, explosions and shouts of killing, Fu Zuoyi couldn't help but tightly grasped a Jinmade MP18 submachine gun produced by Taiyuan Arsenal in his hand.  It seemed that he had returned to the time when he had just joined the army and participated in the war for the first time. The long-lost excitement and blood filled his heart.  Fu Zuoyi involuntarily quickened his pace.  In this battle, Fu Zuoyi will definitely become famous all over the world. "Zhang Xinghan, don't blame Fu Yisheng for disregarding the old righteousness. If you want to blame, blame yourself for being too ambitious." Fu Zuoyi said to himself with great pride in his heart.  As time went by, Fu Zuoyi finally led the night attack troops to the north gate of Tianjing Pass without anyone noticing.  After squatting down, an adjutant behind Fu Zuoyi waved his hand. Seven or eight demolition crews were already striving towards the city gate with a large number of explosive packs bearing the surname Lie.  At this time, the northern wall of Tianjing Pass was not empty. Liu Jianguo deployed a security squad here, but the soldiers were attracted by the fierce fighting in the south. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Enemies would come from the north at this time. As mentioned before, the north is Jincheng, and their headquarters leads the main force to be stationed there. How could the enemies come out from the north?  "Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly sounded from the city gate. The two defenders standing on the city gate tower were knocked to the ground by the violent explosion.  The soaring flames almost swallowed up the city gate and buildings.  Before the defenders of the security squad could react, Fu Zuoyi suddenly stood up outside the pass, fired a sharp sweep at the top of the city with the submachine gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers from the Third Jin Dynasty, show your courage and charge forward.  Defeat those Northeastern guys, take back Tianjing Pass, kill them!" "Come on, kill!" More than two thousand elite Jinsui troops shouted in response, pouring into the city gate like a tide, and several security squads on the city walls.  The soldiers fired quickly, but they were unable to prevent the large number of Jinsui troops from entering the city.  Soon, Fu Zuoyi commanded the Jinsui Army to rush into the city. A group rushed to the top of the city, and most of them went directly to Qianguan.  At this time, on the south wall, Liu Jianguo's troops were fighting fiercely with the Central Army. The intensive sound of gunfire, explosions and shouts of death covered up the explosions and gunfire at the north gate.  Liu Jianguo didn’t know anything about the news that the North Gate had been breached and the Jin-Sui Army entered the pass.  “About two or three minutes later, a second lieutenant platoon leader ran up the south gate wall in a panic, and found Liu Jianguo who was shooting himself in the hail of bullets.  He was so anxious that he almost cried: "Commander, it's bad, the Jinsui Army has invaded from the north gate and has already engaged our reserve team!" "What?" Liu Jianguo was shocked and said in disbelief:  "What did you say?" The second lieutenant platoon leader had no choice but to repeat loudly. Liu Jianguo was stunned at that time. He kicked the second lieutenant platoon leader to the ground and shouted: "You fucking fart, how can there be a Jinsui army in the north to kill you?"  Come in? The headquarters is still in Jincheng. How did the Jinsui Army come here? Did they fly here? " "I don't know, but there are indeed many Jinsui Army coming in. If you don't believe it, just go down and take a look."  "The second lieutenant platoon leader cried bitterly: "Jincheng, Jincheng is probably lost, will the commander?" Liu Jianguo interrupted with an angry curse before he could finish his words.  I caught his crow's beak and was about to order the adjutant to take someone to take a look.  However, I saw a sudden fire in the pass, and through the noise of the battlefield at the South Pass Wall, I could vaguely hear the sound of gunfire, shouts of killing, and explosions.  Liu Jianguo was startled, then reacted quickly and shouted to the adjutant: "Adjutant Niu, you*You must guard this place for me, and you must not let a Central Army in!  "    "yes.  "An adjutant held an MP38 submachine gun in his hand and fired aimlessly outside the city. He turned around and responded. Liu Jianguo pulled the second lieutenant platoon leader: "Guard platoon, follow me!  "When Liu Jianguo came to the pass with dozens of guards, he found that the two companies of reserve teams he left behind were fighting fiercely with the incoming Jinsui Army. "These are the most precious troops he left behind to save lives.  Fortunately, they were not transferred up. Otherwise, if the Jinsui Army marched in, Tianjing Pass would be lost. Liu Jianguo led the guard platoon to join the battle and ordered people to generate electricity for Jincheng. Now he was not only worried that Tianjing Pass might have to be defended.  I couldn't stand it any longer, and I was even more worried about whether Jincheng had been lost and whether Zhang Xinghan was safe. PS: I hurriedly and slowly finished the code of the third chapter before twelve o'clock. I asked you brothers and sisters for two free recommendation votes.  Encourage Qiufeng, thank you for your support! (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 464: Rush to the aid of Tianjing Pass

    In order to cooperate with Fu Zuoyi and the Central Army to seize Tianjing Pass, Yang Aiyuan also ordered his frontline troops in Changzhi to launch an attack on the Northeast Army's field defense position in the north of Jincheng when Fu Zuoyi launched a surprise attack on Tianjing Pass.  .?So, when Liu Jianguo's urgent message of 100,000 yuan was sent to Jincheng, Zhang Xinghan was still supervising the battle in the north of the city.  When the communications troops rode three-wheeled motorcycles and rushed to the north position of the city and found Zhang Xinghan, nearly half an hour had passed.  "What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Xinghan asked anxiously when he saw that the visitor looked panicked and was out of breath.  "General, Chief, something bad has happened. A Jinsui Army suddenly appeared behind Tianjing Pass. General Liu Jianguo was leading his troops to resist the frontal attack of the Central Army. He was caught off guard and was attacked by the Jinsui Army. Now our Tianjing Pass defenders have already  Falling into a dangerous situation with enemies from both sides, General Liu called to ask if Jincheng is okay and if the main station is safe," the communications soldier said with a somewhat rapid breath.  "What?" Zhang Xinghan was stunned on the spot as if he had received an electric shock, as if the noise of the fierce battle ahead had been cut off.  "How is this possible? It is impossible for the Jinsui Army to have airborne troops. How did they overcome the vast Taihang natural dangers?" Zhang Xinghan was extremely confused, but he quickly thought: "There must be some mountain paths that we don't know about.  , Yes, that must be the case. No wonder Yang Aiyuan has been silent on the front battlefield, so that’s it!” “Chief Commander, what should we do now?” Guo Zhongcong next to him was shocked.  After coming back to his senses, he said.  Zhang Xinghan didn't want to think too much anymore, and immediately said sternly: "Zhongzi, immediately assemble the guard battalion, add a tank battalion, and immediately follow me to rescue Tianjing Pass. We must rescue Jianguo no matter what." "Yes."  Guo Zhong did not dare to delay, he immediately stood up and answered, then turned around and took the order.  After Guo Zhong left, Zhang Xinghan looked up at the star-studded night sky and thought to himself, Jianguo, you must hold on, Tianjing Pass can be lost, we still have Jincheng, nothing will happen to you.  Zhang Xinghan still has deep feelings for Liu Jianguo. He first followed him when he was still the battalion commander of Peking University Camp.  Even earlier, when he was the platoon commander, he was the deputy platoon commander, and when he was the battalion commander, he was the deputy battalion commander. Later, he walked side by side with him in the Shenyang Defense Battle, the Tongliao Battle, the Changchun Battle, and countless other battles, big and small.  Although he can be called his absolute confidant and veteran, he only serves as the deputy commander of a group army, but he has no complaints and is loyal to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan talked to him in private, and Liu Jianguo said that as long as he could follow Zhang Xinghan, he would have no regrets even as a soldier.  How could Zhang Xinghan, who was so loyal to his subordinates who were almost as loyal to him as his own brothers, just sit back and watch him being put in danger and ignore him?  What’s more, Zhang Xinghan was still thinking that if circumstances permitted, he might be able to retake Tianjing Pass. Even if Tianjing Pass fell, he could still retreat to Jincheng.  Of course, from Zhang Xinghan’s perspective, it is impossible not to see what kind of dilemma Jincheng will be in if Tianjing Pass is lost.  However, he doesn’t care about so much right now, rescuing Liu Jianguo is more important.  Soon, the troops were assembled. Zhang Xinghan jumped on a three-wheeled motorcycle and rushed towards Tianjing Pass with the reinforcements.  In the Tianjing Pass, the fierce battle between the two sides has entered a very fierce stage. Under the fierce attack of the Shanxi-Sui Army's absolute superiority in strength, the two reserve companies and guard platoons around Liu Jianguo suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat to the first pass wall.  Stick to it.  Nearly two thousand people are all trapped in the south gate wall and city gate building of Tianjing Pass. The situation has reached a critical moment.  However, after retreating to the Guanqiang, the defenders' firepower also greatly increased. Relying on the Guanqiang to be condescending, they took advantage of the terrain.  However, they are actually in a desperate situation. Once the ammunition is exhausted or the casualties are too heavy, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army may attack and wipe them out.  The battlefield was full of flames, the sound of gunshots, cannons, and explosions intertwined together, playing a magnificent death war song.  Both sides fought to the death, and a large number of veterans of the reorganized First Division who had followed Zhang Xinghan through life and death and some middle-level and junior officers who came out of Longxing Military Academy played a great role at this moment.  Their infinite loyalty and admiration for Zhang Xinghan inspired them to lead their subordinates in a bloody battle and became their only motivation and belief to support them.  With their leadership, the morale of the soldiers who were in desperate situation was greatly strengthened, and nothing happened that would cause the situation to collapse instantly.  Liu Jianguo held a submachine gun in his hand and kept firing??Fire fiercely at the Shanxi-Sui army swarming at the pass, as do the soldiers around it.  The bombardiers threw each grenade as fast as possible, and it exploded among the crowd of Jinsui soldiers, causing death and injury.  A communications soldier ran over quickly from the city gate tower, came to Liu Jianguo and saluted without hesitation: "Commander, Jincheng has called back." "What do you say?" Liu Jianguo asked eagerly.  "Jincheng has not been lost, and the commander-in-chief is safe and sound. The commander-in-chief also said in the message that the Jinsui Army that attacked must have come around from a mountain path that we didn't know about. Let us not panic and stick to the rescue. The commander-in-chief has already personally  Bring the reinforcements and they'll arrive soon!" said the communications soldier.  Hearing that Jincheng and Zhang Xinghan were both safe and sound, Liu Jianguo felt a big stone fall in his heart. Feeling relieved, he immediately shouted with great pride: "Brothers, hold on, the commander-in-chief has personally led the reinforcements to arrive. They will be there in a moment. Take the  Come out with all our energy to kill the little devils, let these Shanxi bumpkins see the power of our Northeast Army!" Liu Jianguo summoned up all his strength with this shout, and the sound was almost loud enough to cover the noisy battlefield, and most of the officers and soldiers could hear it clearly.  The morale of the officers and soldiers was immediately boosted and their military morale was determined.  Various weapons opened fire simultaneously, and the casualties of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, which attacked from both sides, increased greatly.  Outside the Pass, on the position of the 25th Division, the 25th Division Commander Guan Linzheng and Deputy Division Commander Du Yuming were supervising the battle from the rear.  Seeing that the morale of the Northeastern Army on the wall was greatly increased and their firepower was strengthened, Du Yuming couldn't help but sigh: "This Northeastern Army is really extraordinary. It is in a desperate situation where our army is attacking from two sides, but it can still maintain such combat power. It is particularly valuable.  "Yes, this is a truly elite division. Even if they are surrounded and their lives are hanging by a thread, they still fight hard and fight the enemy until the last moment. It is very admirable!" Guan Linzheng couldn't help it!  He nodded in praise.  "The most important thing we need to be careful about now is that after Zhang Xinghan learns that Tianjing Pass is in danger, he may send reinforcements. We should remind Fu Zuoyi and let him pay more attention to it," Du Yuming said.  "Didn't he say that after Fu Zuoyi's attack started, Yang Aiyuan would storm Jincheng to contain Zhang Xinghan? How many troops could he have to rescue Tianjingguan?" Guan Linzheng was somewhat disapproving.  "Everything is just in case, it's better to be careful. After all, Tianjing Pass is too important. Zhang Xinghan is likely to come for reinforcements at any cost. Moreover, I am very doubtful about the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army. They are really capable of completely containing them.  Live with Zhang Xinghan's main force?" Du Yuming expressed his worries.  "Okay, I'll have someone send electricity to Fu Yisheng right away and remind him to be prepared," Guan Linzheng said.  "As long as Zhang Xinghan's possible reinforcements can be blocked, the fall of Tianjing Pass is only a matter of time." Du Yuming's meaningful lookout said that the flames of the lookout were soaring into the sky, and the Tianjing Pass Road was boiling.  Inside the pass, Fu Zuoyi was furious at the failure of his repeated attacks on the wall. At the same time, he secretly cursed the Central Army outside the city for deliberately not attacking the city with all its strength, which led to repeated failures in his attacks.  A communications soldier ran over quickly with a marching radio on his back, saluted Fu Zuoyi and said: "Military seat, the 25th Division of the Central Army opposite is calling." "What advice do they have?" Fu Zuoyi said impatiently.  "The 25th Division reminded us that we need to strengthen the defense of the Guanqiang in the north to prevent the Northeast Army from Jincheng from coming for reinforcements. They also said in the message that we only need to use part of our troops to contain and attack the defenders on the Guanqiang.  "The main force is best used to defend the northern wall. As long as the reinforcements of the Northeast Army cannot enter the pass, it will be a matter of time before Tianjing Pass is captured," the communications soldier said.  Although Fu Zuoyi felt that the reminders and suggestions of the 25th Division were correct, the prejudice in his bones made him snort with some disdain: "Give the enemy's 25th Division power to generate electricity. How can our Jinsui Army fight? They don't have to worry about it.  Just ask them not to attack with all their strength regardless of their conscience." The signal soldier was a little startled, but seeing that Fu Zuoyi had no intention of changing his mind, he had to accept the order and leave.  Although he didn't like the Central Army's reminder of overthrow, Fu Zuoyi still called a battalion commander after the signal troops left and said: "Take your men and immediately go to the north to close the wall. There will be no one to close the south wall."  Before the capture, I can't let a single mouse in. I can lay more mines or booby traps at the city gate to guard against the Northeast Army's tanks. "Although Fu Zuoyi didn't deal with the Central Army, he was still clear-headed.  I don't think Zhang Xinghan can divide his troops to rescue Tianjingguan, which is completely in despair.  The battalion commander of the Jinsui Army who was ordered to stick to the northern wall obviously did not think that the Northeast Army could come at this time, just like Fu Zuoyi.  With the troopsAfter coming to the north to close the wall, he just followed the order and sent some soldiers to lay mines outside the city gate without urging or supervising.  So he went up to the city wall and faced the south, looking at the sea of ??fire and the battlefield with loud gunshots. He was very upset that he could not lead his troops to join the battle.  Not long after, a harsh rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the northern wall. Hearing the sound, the battalion commander of the Jinsui Army suddenly turned his head and looked around blankly: "What is the sound?" (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 465: Retreat to Jincheng

    "Yes, it's a tank of the Northeast Army!" With the flash of fire on the Guanqiang battlefield to the south behind him, a Jinsui Army soldier next to the battalion commander of the Jinsui Army suddenly pointed at the outer road in horror.  In fact, he didn’t need to say anything. The battalion commander of the Jinsui Army also saw clearly “who was coming.”  His eyes were startled at first, and then he shouted sternly: "Quick, hit me, no matter what, we can't let the Northeast Army enter the pass, quick!" The battalion commander now felt regretful. If he had known this, he had just  We should ask our subordinates to speed up more and lay more mines and booby traps.  The best way is to dig trenches outside the city gate, but Zhang Xinghan and his reinforcements arrived quickly. Even if Fu Zuoyi asked them to dig trenches at the beginning, it would be too late.  Hundreds of Jin-Sui troops on the wall opened fire in panic, and Hanyang-made rifles and Jin-made flower machines fired dense rain of bullets.  "Bang, bang, bang" But these bullets hit a Northeastern Army tank that came first one after another. Apart from splashing out a series of sparks, they had no other effect.  Not to mention preventing tanks from entering the border.  Being attacked, the No. 4 tank chariot immediately opened fire back. The two vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns and the 75mm tank gun poured a large amount of hot bullets into the gate of Guanqiang City.  More than a dozen Jinsui troops who were hurriedly closing the city gate fell to the ground one after another. The armor-piercing projectile fired by the No. 4 tank directly penetrated the wooden city gate, causing a violent explosion.  There was a big hole in the city gate, and the No. 4 tank did not hesitate at all. Like a steel beast, it rushed towards the city gate with unrivaled momentum.  There was a loud bang, and under the dense rain of bullets, the No. 4 tank chariot slammed open the city gate that was not closed tightly.  He rushed into the pass easily, followed by dozens of other tanks.  “Further behind are the guard battalions led by Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong.  They did not get out of the car, but rushed up following the tank battalion.  In the side of the three-wheeled motorcycle, a series of mg34 general-purpose machine guns were set up on the front roof of the military truck, and they were spitting out dazzling tongues of fire.  Some guards on the edge of the truck also held submachine guns and fired sideways.  The Jinsui Army was already suppressed by the intensive firepower from the tank battalion.  I just feel that the rain of bullets above my head is getting denser.  Even standing up is a problem, let alone blocking the Northeastern Army's reinforcements from entering the border.  Sitting on a tricycle, Zhang Xinghan controlled a general-purpose machine gun and fired continuously at the top of the city. As soon as he entered the gate, he turned around and shouted: "Zhongzi, lead the guard camp and destroy the city for me."  The Jinsui Army above us is guarding the north city gate, and the tank battalion will follow me to meet Liu Jianguo and the other defenders! " "Yes! Commander, be careful!" Guo Zhong didn't waste any time, and came under the cover of the tank battalion's firepower.  Urge the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion to get out of the car.  Then it rushed towards the city head like a tide.  Zhang Xinghan is not worried about whether the guard battalion can take down the city wall. He has absolute confidence in his elite ace, if it is such a small distance under such circumstances.  Even the city wall defended by the Shanxi-Sui Army, which was only a few hundred in equipment, could not be attacked.  Then there is no need to fight this battle, Zhang Xinghan can just surrender.  Immediately, he jumped on a No. 4 tank, personally operated a general-purpose machine gun, and rushed towards Guannan with the tank battalion.  Fu Zuoyi, who was supervising the battle in the pass, was alerted by the sudden explosion behind him and the intensive gunfire that followed.  I looked back with some surprise at the already blazing north wall, and I couldn't help but feel nervous.  It seems that the Central Army’s misfortune was right, Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern Army really has reinforcements coming.  But although Fu Zuoyi was a little nervous, he was not panicked.  In his opinion, he had left a battalion behind, which could at least resist for a while.  Therefore, he began to calmly order the troops to stop the attack, planning to deploy troops to block the reinforcements of the Northeast Army first.  At this moment, Zhang Xinghan led a tank battalion to suddenly arrive.  Fu Zuoyi has not even completed preparations for deploying troops. The thousands of men under his command have just withdrawn from the battle to attack Guanqiang.  They are retreating quickly to a safe area to avoid the continued firepower of the northeast defenders on the wall.  Before the tanks of the tank battalion arrived, artillery shells were fired first. Dozens of high-explosive bombs suddenly flew in with a harsh whistling sound and long flames.  The two guards beside Fu Zuoyi quickly knocked him down, allowing him to escape by chance.  After a violent explosion, the two guards and some surrounding Jinsui Army soldiers were all bloody and bloody.  Tragic death on the spot.  Fu Zuoyi was so frightened that all his souls were gone.He lay on his stomach and fled to the left. The two guards were covered in blood and crawled wherever they passed.  They are all bloody.  After a round of shelling, dozens of Panzer IV tanks and nearly a hundred general-purpose machine guns arrived immediately, and a dense rain of bullets shot directly into the retreating Jinsui Army offensive troops.  They were immediately knocked down in pieces, and the screams of the Jinsui Army could not be heard.  On the Nanguan Wall, a Northeastern Army soldier said with surprise and inexplicable surprise: "Commander, it seems that our tank reinforcements have arrived!" "Great, brothers, our reinforcements have arrived!" Liu Jianguo shouted in excitement and got carried away.  The morale of the defenders was greatly boosted and they cheered thunderously.  Zhang Xinghan led the tank battalion while firing and advancing. Under the fire of nearly a hundred general-purpose machine guns, the main attack force of the regiment brought by Fu Zuoyi suffered heavy casualties. Most of them fled towards the military buildings on both sides of the pass.  Zhang Xinghan took advantage of the situation and led his troops to the pass wall. The tanks on the periphery automatically adjusted their directions and continued to fire at the camps and fortifications inside the pass with machine guns and tank guns to suppress them.  Zhang Xinghan shouted at the top of the wall: "Jianguo! Jianguo!" "Chief, I'm here!" Liu Jianguo couldn't help but howl when he saw that Zhang Xinghan was not afraid of danger and personally led his troops to fight through the siege and come to rescue him.  burst into tears.  "Tianjing Pass can no longer be defended. Hurry up and lead your brothers to follow me and fight out. Hurry!" Zhang Xinghan urged loudly.  "Yes!" Liu Jianguo responded on the spot and quickly commanded the troops to retreat. He led dozens of soldiers to the rear until most of the officers and soldiers had withdrawn. He led the soldiers to throw a barrage of grenades outside the pass and temporarily suppressed the central area outside the city.  After the army.  Then he finally withdrew. As soon as he saw Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo couldn't help but knelt down on the ground with a plop, wailing: "Chief, please kill me. This time Tianjingguan is in emergency, my sin is unforgivable!"  " "Stop talking nonsense, Tianjing Pass can no longer be defended. Come and lead your brothers to break out with me. The tank battalion will do its best to cover the rear!" Zhang Xinghan grabbed him and left.  The more than a thousand surviving Northeastern officers and soldiers were all moved to tears, and followed Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo to death one after another.  With the powerful fire suppression of the tank battalion, Fu Zuoyi’s life and death was no longer known. The remnants of the Jinsui Army, leaderless and suffering heavy casualties, were simply unable to stop it.  They could only watch Zhang Xinghan and the others break out of the encirclement.  When Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo led their troops back to the north to close the wall, the fighting here had just ended.  Guo Zhong came up with a bloody face: "Commander Liu, it's great that you're okay. All the Shanxi locals above the main seat have been killed by our guard camp. What should we do next?" "Get the brothers down immediately and get in the car immediately.  , retreat." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Retreat?" Guo Zhong said with some confusion: "Headquarters. The Jinsui Army in this pass has basically been wiped out by us. With the tank battalion here, we can completely repel the Central Army's attack and regain control of the entire Tianjing Pass.  Why would you take the initiative to give up such an important strategic location? " Liu Jianguo felt that what Guo Zhong said was very reasonable, and immediately said: "Chief Commander, what Zhongzi said makes sense.  Lead the brothers and fight back!" As he said that, he was about to fight back with more than a thousand officers and soldiers who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives.  "Stop!" Zhang Xinghan shouted sternly and said: "You all stop for me. The appearance of this Jinsui Army has proved that the road to Jincheng is not the only way to Tianjing Pass. Although we are now completely  We have the ability to retake Tianjing Pass, but we don’t have many troops. How do we know if there are more Jinsui troops behind us? So, just in case Tianjing Pass cannot be defended, we first withdraw to Jincheng and join the main force.  We'll make plans after we meet!" "Yes." Liu Jianguo and Guo Zhong saw Zhang Xinghan's serious face and didn't say anything.  They all stepped forward to answer.  At the moment, they took their respective subordinates and followed Zhang Xinghan into the motorcade and swarmed out of the customs.  When Fu Zuoyi recovered from the near-death situation just now, Zhang Xinghan and the others had already left the border.  He became angry from shame.  He immediately shouted at his subordinates who were also panic-stricken and were hiding in the camps on both sides and did not dare to move in the fortifications to pursue them.  But before hundreds of Jinsui troops could chase them far, they were hit by fierce firepower from the tank battalion behind them.  A large piece of it fell, and they scrambled back in a chaotic manner.  Although Fu Zuoyi cursed angrily, he was helpless. Soon the Central Army outside the pass finally successfully climbed to the top of the city.  But it was found that the dead bodies of the Jinsui Army were everywhere in the pass. Except for Fu Zuoyi's remnants of less than a thousand people, there was not even a trace of the Northeast Army.  &nbsp; A colonel commander of the 25th Division was eager for revenge because his unit suffered heavy casualties. After asking clearly about the whereabouts of the Northeastern Army, he led his men to pursue northward. As soon as they came out of the pursuit, they encountered the Northeastern Army behind them.  After a fierce strafing attack by the army tank battalion, the disgraced Central Army also stopped attacking and retreated into the pass.  At the headquarters of the 25th Division, a combat staff officer hurriedly came to Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming, saluted the two and said: "Master's seat, deputy teacher's seat, our attacking troops have captured Tianjing Pass and have joined up with the Shanxi-Sui Army."  "Really? Great, it's finally done." Guan Linzheng said with great joy after hearing this.  "However, the Northeastern Army in the pass was rescued by their reinforcements." The combat staff quickly reported what happened in the pass and the setbacks in the pursuit of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.  Du Yuming frowned and said: "The Northeastern Army is so tenacious that it can break out under such circumstances. It is really unexpected. Fortunately, Tianjing Pass has fallen into our hands, and Jincheng has become a strategic death zone. Our strategic purpose  We have arrived. The enemy situation outside the pass is unknown, so let's not pursue it for the time being. "Guang Ting's words are reasonable. We can send a message to the commissioner to report victory." Guan Linzheng nodded happily.  PS: Please give me some recommendation votes, thank you!  (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 466: Soldiers besieged Taiyuan within half a month

    In Luoyang, late at night, Chairman Chiang was awakened by Wang Shihe, who had fallen asleep.  . Through years of understanding, Chairman Jiang knew that Wang Shihe would definitely not disturb his rest unless there was something important.  "Shihe, what's going on?" Chairman Jiang asked calmly.  Wang Shihe couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and said: "Commissioner, the 25th Division just called. They have captured Tianjing Pass, and the remaining Northeastern Army was forced to withdraw to Jincheng." "Really?" Chairman Chiang's expression perked up after hearing this.  , the sleepiness disappeared immediately. Seeing Wang Shihe nodding in confirmation, he couldn't help but walk back and forth with joy and said: "Very good, I will send awards to Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming immediately, encourage them to continue their efforts and make contributions to the party and the country. In addition, go and notify Chief Bai immediately, let's  He came quickly to discuss military matters with me." Wang Shihe respectfully accepted the order, and after a while, he returned and led Bai Chongxi in, who was also in high spirits.  As soon as he entered the door, Bai Chongxi said to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, in this way we have completely grasped the initiative in the battle of Jincheng. I suggest that Hu Zongnan should be ordered immediately to lead the main force out of Tianjing Pass and encircle Jincheng with Yang Aiyuan to prevent  Zhang Xinghan abandoned the city and broke out. " Chairman Chiang was in a good mood. When Bai Chongxi said this, he said disapprovingly: "Now that Tianjing Pass has been captured by our army, and there are Shanxi-Sui troops in the north, where can Zhang Xinghan escape?  The mechanized troops can't go into the deep mountains and forests of the Taihang Mountains, right? If that were the case, it would save us a lot of trouble. " "Commissioner, there is no absolute. Tianjing Pass is such a majestic and dangerous pass. Zhang Xinghan sent elite soldiers to guard it.  I thought everything was safe, but now the Jinsui Army has taken a small route and forced me to abandon the defense?" Bai Chongxi was deeply afraid that Chairman Chiang would be overly surprised and think that the victory was determined, thus delaying the best opportunity to fight.  Fortunately, although Chairman Jiang was a little excited, he had already regarded Zhang Xinghan as his number one confidant, so when he thought that Zhang Xinghan might escape, he immediately paid attention to it.  After pretending to think deeply for a moment, he said to Wang Shihe: "Immediately send electricity to Hu Zongnan and order him to lead his troops out of Tianjing Pass and encircle Jincheng immediately." "Yes." Wang Shihe respectfully accepted the order and left.  ……………… Changzhi City, Shanxi-Sui Army Headquarters.  A combat staff officer came to Yang Aiyuan's bedroom excitedly and said to the guard who stopped him: "Wake up Commander Yang quickly. There is an urgent military situation on the front line." The guard did not dare to neglect and quickly turned around and knocked on the door.  Not long after, Yang Aiyuan opened the door and walked out in military uniform. Although he was neatly dressed, the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed. It was obvious that he had just woken up.  "What's going on?" Yang Aiyuan looked at the staff officer who hurriedly saluted him and asked.  "Commander, Fu Zuoyi called. They and the Central Army successfully captured Tianjing Pass, but they failed to completely wipe out the defenders." said the combat staff.  "Oh? Why couldn't they be completely wiped out?" Yang Aiyuan was surprised at first and asked curiously. In his opinion, the Tianjingguan defenders were caught in a double attack between the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.  The Jinsui Army made another sudden attack. Caught off guard, the entire army was annihilated. It was an inevitable outcome.  "Because a Northeast Army tank unit from Jincheng suddenly arrived and rescued them. Not only that, it also caused huge casualties to Fu Zuoyi's night attack troops." said the combat staff.  "What?" Yang Aiyuan was shocked and angry when he heard this, and said, "Didn't I order the frontline troops to increase their attack intensity to contain the enemies of Jincheng?" "This, I don't know even if I am humble." The combat staff officer lowered his head and said.  Yang Aiyuan snorted angrily. At this time, Sun Chu was also woken up by the adjutant and hurried over.  "Brother Xingru, what's wrong?" Sun Chu asked.  Yang Aiyuan told Sun Chu what had happened. After hearing this, Sun Chu couldn't help but said: "Brother Xingru, don't worry too much. The Northeast Army is well-equipped and powerful, and Zhang Xinghan is resourceful and not a good person. My frontline troops failed to reach the level  The full effect of containment is reasonable. Fortunately, now that our strategic purpose of surprise attack on Tianjing Pass has been achieved, Jincheng has become a turtle in the urn, and everything has tilted in our favor. It is time to contact the Central Military Commission to attack Jincheng.  , captured Zhang Xinghan alive." After hearing Sun Chu's words, Yang Aiyuan nodded in relief.  Suddenly, another communications soldier rushed out of the confidential room.  When he came forward, he saluted: "Sir, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army Hu Zongnan called." The combat staff officer took the telegram and handed it to Yang Aiyuan. Yang Aiyuan took the telegram, looked at it, and said to Sun Chu on the side: "Brother Cuiya, Hu Zongnan called me to invite you.  Our army is encircling Jincheng, and he has ordered the 25th Division of the 17th Army toThe 4th Division and other troops crossed Tianjing Pass and were heading towards Jincheng.  " "This opportunity must not be missed. Brother Xingru should quickly order our reserve troops to go south, meet up with the forward troops, and join the Central Army to encircle Jincheng to prevent changes.  "Sun Chu suggested. "Yeah.  Yang Aiyuan nodded and said: "That makes sense, Staff Officer Li. Please pass on the order immediately. In addition, it's time for us to send a message to Mr. Yan to report the situation to encourage the morale of our defense forces on the northern front."  ” …………………………… In Jincheng, Zhang Xinghan finally returned to Jincheng with his troops. The Jinsui Army in the north of the city may also have got the news and stopped attacking to contain the surname. Most of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to follow Zhang Xinghan to break out of the encirclement.  They were all injured, so the medical staff of various units in the city began to be extremely busy. The cooking squad also worked intensively all night to prepare meals for the soldiers who broke out. In the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others were all busy.  After returning here, he picked up a glass of cold water and drank it in one gulp. Zhang Xinghan turned to Liu Jianguo and Guo Zhong and said, "Jianguo, Zhongzi, are you thirsty?"  " Both of them were filled with sorrow and shook their heads. Liu Jianguo was the first to speak: "General, now that the patio gate is lost, we may not be able to stay in Jincheng any longer. I suggest that we should immediately take advantage of the opportunity between the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.  Form a circle and evacuate.  "Yes, Chief, Commander Liu is right. Since Tianjing Pass has been lost, Jincheng cannot be defended. It would be better to move earlier!"  "Guo Zhong also nodded in agreement. Zhang Xinghan put down his water glass, waved his hands towards the two of them and said, "Come here and take a look at the map.  " The two of them stepped forward as instructed and surrounded the map with Zhang Xinghan and the other three. Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand and pointed casually: "This is Tianjingguan, this is Jincheng, and this is Changzhi. We are right in the middle of the two places, and the main transportation roads are all in the mountains.  in the Taihang Mountains.  In such terrain, the power of our army's tank troops and mechanized convoys will be greatly reduced. With Changzhi in front and Tianjingguan in the back, it will be difficult to go south or north.  And even if we can successfully break out, our strategic plan to intercept the Shanxi-Sui Army will be completely disrupted, and the bloodshed and sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of troops will be in vain.  Therefore, not only can we not choose to break out, we should also continue to hold on in Jincheng.  " "But, Commander-in-Chief, if we don't break out, Jincheng will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army.  The headquarters is where the souls and beliefs of the millions of soldiers of our Northeast Frontier Army lie. How can we risk our lives?  "Guo Zhong said eagerly. "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, what Zhongzi said makes sense. Otherwise, you can lead the tank troops and guard battalion to break out of the encirclement, and lead the remaining officers and soldiers to defend Jincheng in a humble manner, fighting to the death to the last soldier!  "Liu Jianguo said. Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. There is no room for failure in Jincheng this time, because it affects the success or failure of the entire battle.  As long as Jincheng is in our hands, the hundreds of thousands of Jinsui troops will become strategically within the reach of our Northeastern Army.  Unless they all escape into the Taihang Mountains to fight guerrillas, this is basically impossible. Even if he, Yan Laoxi, is willing, the civilian and military generals under his command who are accustomed to enjoying happiness are not willing.  As long as the hundreds of thousands of Jinsui troops are not forced into desperation, they will not be willing to follow Yan Xishan into the mountains and become wild mountains, because we are not foreign invaders, we are also Chinese.  "In fact, even after the Japanese invaded Shanxi in history, there were not a few Shanxi-Suiyuan troops who surrendered and sold themselves as slaves. With the prestigious reputation of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the treatment they received in the army, once the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was cornered, Zhang Xinghan sent  People can easily disintegrate it with a little ideological work. Therefore, the key is to hold on to Jincheng and leave the Jinsui Army with no way to escape. Either leave their hometown and escape into remote areas such as deep mountains and old forests, or continue to garrison their hometown.  Compared with the high salary and salary, no one is willing to choose the former. After a pause, Zhang Xinghan said resolutely: "So, I will personally take command of Jincheng this time. Our goal is not to kill every last soldier.  It is to hold on as long as possible until our 1st and 3rd Army Groups break through Yanmen, Jingxing and other passes, forcing Yan Xishan to surrender.  As long as Yan Xishan surrenders, it is very likely that Chairman Chiang will be forced to accept peace talks and reorganize the National Government.  Of course, if Chairman Chiang is unwilling to negotiate peace, we can cross the Yellow River south without any worries, march into the Central Plains and East China, and then march to the north bank of the Yangtze River to intimidate Nanjing!  Seeing that the two of them wanted to persuade them again, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to stop him and said, "Okay, don't say any more. We will fight all night."You must be all tired, go down and rest. In addition, I will inform all the soldiers in the city with my order. Zhang Xinghan will fight side by side with them and win. I hope all the soldiers will fight to the death with all their strength and wait for reinforcements!  Our army will win this battle!  "    "yes!  "Liu Jianguo and Guo Zhong saw Zhang Xinghan's resolute attitude and said no more. They stood up and responded loudly. Immediately, under Zhang Xinghan's wave of hands, they turned around and left together. After watching the two people leave, Zhang Xinghan called a communications officer.  The soldier ordered: "Immediately send power to the headquarters of the 1st Army and the 3rd Army, and order them to break through Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass within ten days, and advance to Taiyuan City within half a month. Capture Yan Laoxi alive for me, and the air force will bomb it."  Airports in Taiyuan and other places destroyed Yan Xishan’s escape by plane!  "(To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 467: Bloody Battle in Jincheng (1)

    After the battle at Tianjingguan, the infantry regiment stationed with Liu Jianguo lost nearly two-thirds.  The number of people who survived the breakout was less than 1,200, and most of them were injured to varying degrees.  After a rough calculation, Zhang Xinghan still had less than 16,000 troops in Jincheng, including two and a half regiments of the tank division. The reorganized division was temporarily reduced into two regiments by Zhang Xinghan due to heavy losses.  The security, reconnaissance and other troops directly under the division headquarters were combined into a reinforced regiment with Guo Zhong's guard battalion and Wang Longxiang's airborne brigade.  That night, before dawn, more than 20,000 people from the 25th Division and the 4th Division of the Central Army crossed Tianjing Pass and arrived five kilometers south of Jincheng.  With the more than 20,000 Shanxi-Sui army troops north of Jincheng, they formed a north-south pincer attack and formally surrounded Jincheng.  Zhang Xinghan will reorganize the two infantry regiments of the 1st Division and deploy them in field defense positions outside the south and north of the city.  A reinforced regiment compiled by the security battalion and other departments is stationed in Jincheng itself and is responsible for maintaining public security in the city.  The two and a half battalions of the tank division, with about 240 tanks, were divided into two and deployed in the east and west directions to protect the flanks of the main position in the south and north of the city.  Overnight, all the troops quickly got into position, waiting for the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army to attack.  Early in the morning, dozens of fighter planes of the Air Force arrived early on Zhang Xinghan’s order and launched a fierce air attack on the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army.  Although it failed to cause them many casualties, it also severely damaged the morale and morale of the two armies.  Zhang Xinghan ordered Wang Longxiang to take paratroopers and began to cooperate with the main regiments to lay minefields outside the field defense positions outside the city.  Due to the continuous harassment and air raids by the Northeast Army Air Force, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army were unable to organize an attack until noon.  This allowed the Northeastern Army defenders to lay out minefields calmly.  Strengthening the defenses of each firepower point is extremely valuable time.  At noon, Jincheng headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan is having lunch. Although the war is coming, as the saying goes, people are like iron rice or steel.  You will feel hungry if you don't eat one meal, so you still have to eat.  A communications soldier suddenly came over, stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commander, the chief of staff is calling from Jilin." "Oh?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.  Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he took a look at the telegram and saw Jiang Baili saying in the telegram: Chief, I already know the situation of the battle in southern Shanxi. The chief is in charge of southern Shanxi. Although it is surrounded by heavy siege, it is as stable as Mount Tai.  Those who were worried only learned that Chiang Kai-shek had transferred the Central Army to Jiangxi, Lianghu and other places, plus the troops of the Guangxi faction, no less than hundreds of thousands.  We are heading north along the Beijing-Hankou Railway.  This must be guarded against.  therefore.  Baili suggested that the headquarters should use a small part of the air force for the battle of southern Shanxi and the main force for bombing the Beijing-Hankou Railway.  Paralyze it as much as possible.  Delaying the Central Army and the Guangxi Army from moving north is beneficial to our army's strategic overall situation.  Otherwise.  Once hundreds of thousands of Central Army and Guangxi elites moved northward, the headquarters remained in southern Shanxi, and the bloodshed and sacrifices of tens of thousands of soldiers were all in vain.  After Zhang Xinghan finished reading, he stood up and slapped the table and said: "If it hadn't been for the chief of staff's reminder, I almost forgot such an important thing." "The communications corps, immediately send power to the air force and launch an all-out air attack on the Beijing-Hankow Railway. Within a month, we must not let anyone  It's back to normal!" "Yes." The communications soldier quickly took the order and left.  Without the Beijing-Hankow Railway, given the popularity of vehicles and equipment of the Central Army and the Guangxi Clan at this time, I am afraid they can only go north on foot.  And walking north, a distance of thousands of miles, by the time they arrive, the war north of the Yellow River should have been settled long ago.  After arranging the communication troops, Zhang Xinghan no longer wanted to eat, wiped his mouth, and called Zhongzi out of habit.  But only one guard came in from outside, and Zhang Xinghan remembered that both Guo Zhong and Wang Longxiang had led their troops outside the city to assist the main regiment's defense troops and lay minefields.  "Take a guard platoon and follow me to the south of the city." Zhang Xinghan casually ordered.  "Yes." The guard responded loudly, then turned around and took the order.  Soon, a guard platoon of about thirty or forty people gathered, left the headquarters in two military trucks and a three-wheeled motorcycle, and headed south of the city.  Zhang Xinghan has a multi-function watch, so he doesn’t have to worry about fuel, ammunition, food and drink, and he doesn’t have any worries.  Therefore, all travel was by car. This was the reason why he dared to defend Jincheng with less than 20,000 people and resist the siege of nearly 100,000 Central Army and Jinsui Army.  As the convoy walked along the streets of the city, it would encounter small groups of patrolling troops from time to time. The officers and soldiers carried guns on their backs and walked in neat steps. There was no trace of panic on their faces as they were being trapped in a tight siege.  Zhang Xinghan was sitting in the car, looking at it and feeling very satisfied.  &nbsp; With him as the commander-in-chief personally sitting in command and fighting side by side with the officers and soldiers, even if they are trapped in a tight siege, the officers and soldiers will not panic or feel fear.  Because of their pride and their backbone, they are fearless.  The worst case scenario is death, and the chief executive is here to accompany you.  The motorcade quickly arrived at the city gate via the south area of ??the city. Just in case, the cars and motorcycles stopped at the south gate.  Zhang Xinghan walked out of the city with a line of guards, so the target was relatively smaller.  The field defense positions outside the city were built long before Tianjing Pass was lost. Now, after a day and night of repairs, the traffic trenches have been dug directly in front of the city gate.  It can be connected to the city, which is conducive to the deployment of troops and reinforcements, and also conducive to the evacuation into the city when the war outside the city is unfavorable.  It is more conducive to ammunition transportation, wounded transportation, etc.  Zhang Xinghan led the guard platoon as soon as they left the city gate and entered the traffic trench, which was deep enough for one person, and walked towards the front.  Before walking far, we encountered some soldiers and people in the city who had fortified bunkers.  Several soldiers quickly put down their work and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "General seat." Several ordinary people were a little flustered and stood aside at a loss.  They were all forcibly recruited by the Northeast Army to help dig and build fortifications. Although they were paid by the day, they were still a little afraid of these wolves and tigers from the Northeast soldiers.  "In normal times, Zhang Xinghan would not have allowed his subordinates to recruit civilians to help with labor, but in extraordinary times, in order to build a field defense position as quickly as possible, he had to take some extraordinary measures.  However, Zhang Xinghan was not as cruel and ruthless as other warlords. He not only provided the workers with three generous meals a day, but also paid them two oceans a day per person.  After finishing work every day, the people were allowed to go home and their wages were paid on time.  After taking the money, the people gradually let down their guard, but they were still a little scared when they suddenly met an official like Zhang Xinghan.  It is not difficult to see it from their eyes.  Zhang Xinghan nodded to his soldiers, smiled at the ordinary people next to him, and said, "Thank you, folks, for your hard work. When this battle is over, our Northeastern Army will thank you very much."  The two-year-old middle-aged man saw that Zhang Xinghan had a pleasant face and was approachable, so he bravely said: "Thank you, boss. You are much more kind than the previous Jinsui Army. In the past, they also recruited us to build fortifications and roads. If you can give us food, it will be good."  "No, there's never been any money. Not only do you have full control, but you've also paid wages. Everyone is talking about how good your Northeastern Army is, thinking how great it would be if all the soldiers in the world were like your Northeastern Army." Zhang Xinghan.  He smiled and said: "This fellow, don't worry. The army and the people are one family. I have no choice but to bother you all to help build the fortifications this time. From now on, under my rule, Zhang, everything will be treated the same as in Northeast China."  As a side story, Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood, given the treatment he received from the Northeastern Army, the level of development under his rule, and various policies to benefit the people.  As long as you give him time, I believe he will soon gain the support of the people in the newly occupied areas.  The key is to win militarily as soon as possible and seize control of Shanxi.  But in other words, the people are water, and the army is a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Anyone in power who is unpopular with the people will definitely not survive in the long run.  The unification of China is the general trend. These corrupt local warlords of the National Government are a serious stumbling block to the rise and rejuvenation of China and will not last long.  When Zhang Xinghan led the guard platoon to the front of the garrison position, he happened to encounter Guo Zhong and Liu Jianguo at the headquarters.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan's arrival, everyone stood up and saluted and said hello: "Chief, you are here." "How is it? How is the minefield layout?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Basically everything has been laid out. In front of my forward position, the area is 500 meters long and 1,000 meters wide. There are all kinds of landmines and booby traps. If the Central Army dares to come, hehe, it will be enough for them to drink a pot!" Guo Zhong laughed!  said.  "Very good." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, "In this battle of Jincheng, don't be stingy with ammunition. As long as you win this battle, it will be worth it no matter how much you pay." Everyone nodded in agreement. Fortunately,  With airdrops from the Air Force, the troops don't have to worry about ammunition supplies.  They knew that the airdrop was just a means for Zhang Xinghan to cover up. Many ammunition, fuel and weapons were exchanged by Zhang Xinghan from the multi-function watch with enemy kill points.  As commanders of each unit, they don’t know the quantity of air-dropped weapons, ammunition and other supplies. This is not what they need.I will not investigate or pursue matters that I care about.  Therefore, it is impossible to find any abnormalities.  At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from the distance.  Zhang Xinghan changed his face when he heard this, "No, it's a shelling. Order all the troops to prepare for battle!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, the shells fell from the air fiercely, landed on the main defensive position, and exploded everywhere.  A deafening explosion sounded, the ground beneath our feet shook, and dust fell from the bunker above the command post.  Zhang Xinghan shook his head, dusted off his shoulders, and said to Guo Zhong: "Order the artillery regiment to prepare to fight back. These bastards are rushing to Luban Gate to show them the power of our Northeastern artillery!" ps: I paid for the publication yesterday,  I took my son to play for a day and bought milk powder for him. My tired legs were sore and my back hurt, so I wrote a chapter. Today is the third update to make up for it. This is the first update. Finally, please give me some recommendation votes!  Thanks!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 468: Bloody Battle in Jincheng (2)

    It was the 25th Division of the Central Army that suddenly fired artillery shells at the Northeastern Army's position outside the south gate of Jincheng.  There is an artillery regiment directly under the 17th Army Headquarters and an artillery battalion of the 25th Division. There are nearly 30 or 40 large and small artillery pieces, all of which are assigned to the 25th Division.  With so many artillery pieces, the firepower equipment of the army at that time was not weak, but this is only relative.  Because the largest caliber of these artillery pieces is the 75mm Krupp German artillery and some large-caliber mortars.  It is far from the 105mm caliber howitzer equipped by the Northeast Army's ordinary artillery regiment, and it cannot be compared with the 132mm caliber Katyusha rocket launcher newly equipped by the Northeast Army.  Even the directly-affiliated artillery battalions and companies equipped by some regiment-level units of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force are equipped with insufficient artillery.  Therefore, when the Northeast Frontier Defense Army reorganized about two battalions of artillery from the Artillery Regiment directly under the First Division to launch a counterattack.  The weak artillery of the Central Army was quickly suppressed and was unable to fight back.  A howitzer battalion and a Katyusha rocket launcher battalion emit power that even the six artillery regiments of the Central Army's size cannot match.  Du Yuming, the deputy division commander who was responsible for personally directing the attack, spat out two streams of thick phlegm mixed with mud. He looked helplessly at his own position under heavy artillery fire and said: "The Northeast Army's artillery fire is so powerful. This battle may not be as good as imagined."  It's so easy." Suddenly, a major from the Central Army ran over in a panic and said to Du Yuming: "Deputy division commander, the artillery regiment was suppressed by the Northeast Army's artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. It cannot continue to bombard the enemy.  " Du Yuming nodded silently. The artillery force was not as large as human beings. What could he say? He just ordered: "Let the artillery regiment move its position and try to move out of the Northeast Army's artillery range to re-establish defensive positions. " That major.  The officer nodded and asked, "Deputy commander, do you want to continue the attack?" Hu Zongnan's strict order came to Du Yuming's mind, saying that Chairman Chiang had asked the frontline troops to storm Jincheng at all costs and capture Zhang Xinghan alive.  Thinking of this, Du Yuming gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the troops to attack as usual. Whoever breaks into Jincheng first and captures Zhang Xinghan alive will be rewarded with ten thousand yuan!" "Yes." The major officer responded loudly, then turned around and left quickly.  The artillery fire of the Northeastern Border Guards was still raging, and about one battalion of the Central Army formed a skirmish line and launched the first wave of attacks on the Northeastern Army's field defense position south of the city.  In the former enemy command post of the Northeastern Army, Zhang Xinghan put down his telescope and turned around and shouted: "Order the Katyusha Rocket Artillery Battalion to immediately adjust the shooting angle to cover the area 500 meters away and within 2000 meters of our forward position with intensive firepower." Zhang Xinghan  The order was quickly passed on, and the Katyusha rocket artillery battalion, which was extremely maneuverable and easy to operate, quickly adjusted its shooting angle.  A large area of ??dense rockets was poured out.  "俅俅俅俅俅俅俅俅" Amidst the dense and harsh screams, hundreds of large-caliber rockets roared like locusts all over the sky, drawing a beautiful arc from the sky.  With scorching heat, it hit the area of ??1,000 to 1,500 meters in front of the Northeast Border Guard position.  "Boom, boom, boom, boom" A huge explosion occurred within a radius of several hundred meters, producing a huge cloud of flames and smoke that threatened to cover the entire sky.  Hundreds of Central Army soldiers who were charging rapidly were instantly enveloped, like sand in a sandstorm, flying all over the sky with the explosion shock wave.  The violent explosion completely covered up their screams. Looking from the positions of both sides, they could only be seen being swallowed up by the fire and thick smoke that rose from the ground.  On the position of the 25th Division, Du Yuming was stunned when he witnessed all this. He punched the wooden pillar next to him and gritted his teeth and said: "Asshole, these bastards from the Northeast Army have so much firepower." "Order.  Get the second group!" Du Yuming turned his head and shouted in anger.  More than a thousand Central Army troops, led by their commanders, charged towards the Northeastern Border Guards with loud shouts of killing.  This time, they learned from the previous lesson and dispersed the charge as much as possible, arranging their skirmisher lines as scattered as possible.  However, when they finally managed to rush into a distance of more than 500 meters in front of the Northeast Border Guard position after suffering a lot of casualties.  Some soldiers who rushed to the front accidentally stepped on a landmine. A series of violent explosions occurred in vain. More than a dozen Central Army soldiers were blown to pieces and fell down.  To make matters worse, at this moment, following Zhang Xinghan’s order, dozens of general-purpose machine guns on the forward positions suddenly opened fire. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????A horizontal hail of bullets poured in.  The Central Army, which was unable to advance or retreat, was suddenly hit by such firepower. It was caught off guard, and a large number of them fell immediately.  There is no doubt that this wave of attacks by the Central Army failed again due to the double destruction of minefields and machine gun fire.  What made Du Yuming almost furious was that his attacking troops could not even see the shadow of the Northeast Border Guards, so they suffered heavy casualties and had to flee back in a hurry.  “In other words, I lost nearly a thousand people, and I couldn’t even hurt a single hair from the Northeastern soldiers.  Helpless, Du Yuming had no choice but to stop this meaningless attack and returned to the division headquarters with his accompanying adjutant.  As soon as they arrived at the division headquarters, the division commander Guan Linzheng came out and asked with concern: "Guangting, how are you?" Du Yuming told the story of the battle, Guan Linzheng couldn't help but frowned, and said worriedly: "So, fight like this  If we go down, our entire division will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to break through the defensive positions of the Northeast Frontier Army outside the city, let alone break into Jincheng and capture Zhang Xinghan alive. " "The Northeast Frontier Army is well-equipped, and its artillery fire and air force are unmatched in the world.  , even Japan is no match for it, and now it has deployed minefields on its front in an extremely cunning manner. Not to mention that our army lacks professional mine-clearing engineers, even if we have them, at such a close distance, they are still working for the enemy's machine gunners.  Target, even this minefield has almost become an insurmountable chasm for us!" Du Yuming also said a little dejectedly.  "Then what should we do? Both the commissioner and Hu Zongnan called us to urge us to attack as soon as possible. We must break through Jincheng at all costs and capture Zhang Xinghan alive. Who knows that this is a hard nut to crack, an iron plate." Guan Linzheng was full of urgency.  Head sweating profusely.  "Zhang Xinghan is a famous general in the world. His soldiers are well-equipped and well-trained. They have experienced hundreds of battles and are all masters of tigers and wolves. Although he was trapped in a heavy siege, Zhang Xinghan did not break out. This shows that he completely despises my army of hundreds of thousands and treats it like nothing.  Only if you are absolutely unafraid can you lead your troops to defend Jincheng!" Du Yuming also complained that he was unable to do anything.  Fighting against such a tough opponent made him, who had always been both wise and brave, feel helpless.  At this moment, the guard outside suddenly heard a voice: "Mr. Bai is here!" Upon hearing this, Guan Linzheng and the two looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes, and then walked out together.  Before they could greet them, Bai Chongxi walked in with his head held high, surrounded by Zhang Lingfu and others.  Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Bai. I don't know that the General Staff is coming to the front line in person. Please don't blame me if I miss you from a distance!" Bai Chongxi saluted in return, waved his hand casually, and said, "I am here this time on the order of the commission.  "Brothers who came to supervise the battle, how is the progress?" "Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's faces darkened, and the latter said with some shame: "Reporting to the General Staff, the enemy is well-equipped and has strong firepower. I organized two attacks, but they failed.  He returned with success and suffered many casualties. " At this moment, Du Yuming recounted the battle in detail.  After listening, Bai Chongxi could not help but frown slightly, as if saying to himself: "The Northeast Army has the absolute advantage of artillery and air force, so a frontal attack is really a helpless move. I don't know how many loyal and brave soldiers will be sacrificed in this way."  "When everyone was at a loss, Zhang Lingfu, standing behind Bai Chongxi, suddenly said: "Sirs, the Northeast Army has the advantage of artillery and air force, but it is not omnipotent." "Oh, Lingfu, what do you have?  Is there a good way?" Zhang Lingfu specially invited him to come with him before he came from the 51st Division. He didn't expect that he would really have a way at this time.  Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and others also looked at him with hope. In front of them was Huangpu's fourth-level student, who became famous throughout the world during the battle in Puyang. They all admired his abilities sincerely.  Zhang Lingfu faced everyone's gaze and said, "It's very simple. As long as we choose to attack at night, we can avoid the direct air strikes of the Northeast Army Air Force. At night, it is difficult for its artillery to use its arms and fingers as well as during the day.  Flexible use. Without the advantages of artillery and air force, our absolute strength can be reflected. No matter how good the Northeast Army's individual weapons are, it will be difficult to stop our army's continuous attacks. Their ammunition will always be there.  When we are exhausted, we believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us. Breaking through Jincheng and capturing Zhang Xinghan is not just empty talk, it is completely possible to achieve it. " "This method can offset the advantages of the Northeast Army's air force and artillery to a certain extent, but their positions are still difficult to achieve.  What to do with the minefield in front of us? We don’t know how big the minefield is, and we don’t have professional engineers and demining tools,” Du Yuming said worriedly.     openLingfu said solemnly: "Judging from the time we spent besieging the city, even if the Northeast Army tried its best, it would be impossible to lay all the minefields outside Jincheng. The area of ??the minefield is limited. As for the method of demining, artillery can be used to directly bombard the minefield.  , or organize a suicide squad to charge. The party leader should have ignored the life and death for fear of sacrifice. How could he break through Jincheng, capture Zhang Xinghan alive, and serve as a commission to eliminate such a serious threat to the party and the country? "(To be continued.)

    "What do you two think?" Bai Chongxi saw that Zhang Lingfu's analysis was very reasonable, and turned to ask Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming for their opinions. Although he was here to supervise the battle, he held Shangfang's sword.  .????? But it is still very important to have a good relationship with the two powerful generals. After all, in the current war, a disagreement between the generals is not conducive to the war.  Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming also felt that Zhang Lingfu was right. As for the problem of minefields, they have to be cleared even if they cost human lives. Otherwise, what would the soldiers under their command do?  Eating food and fighting a war is a matter of course.  Bloodshed and sacrifice are even more common. As long as we can invade Jincheng, completely annihilate Zhang Xinghan's defenders, and capture or kill Zhang Xinghan alive, no matter how much sacrifice we make, it will be worth it.  At the moment, the teacher Guan Linzheng expressed his position: "Brother Lingfu, this method is good. We completely agree to do it this way. Mr. Bai, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" It can be seen that Guan Linzheng also knows how to deal with people.  Bai Chongxi's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded happily: "I have nothing to add, Master Guan, please give me the order." "Well, Guangting, you will personally direct the attack at night. The specific matters  I'd rather trouble you to make arrangements," Guan Linzheng said to Du Yuming.  "Yes." Du Yuming stood up and responded, turned around and took the order.  ……………… The two attacks by the Central Army in the south of the city ended in failure and suffered heavy losses.  The performance of the Jinsui Army in the north of the city was even worse. They encountered a minefield in their first attack. They were bombed to pieces and suffered heavy casualties.  Waiting for the second attack, they were attacked by intensive machine gun and artillery fire from a tank unit of the Northeast Border Guard and the defenders outside the west gate.  With hundreds of corpses, it ended gloomily, ending the first day of the official attack.  Towards evening, in the former enemy headquarters of the Jinsui Army.  When Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, who had just arrived, learned that their troops were performing so poorly, they were furious and summoned the Jinsui Army brigade commander in charge of the attack.  Now he was scolding him angrily.  "A group of idiots spent a thousand days raising troops and using them for a short period of time. They didn't even touch a hair on the enemy's body, and they lost nearly a thousand troops in vain. Are the guys in your hands just burning fire sticks? This is completely stupid pig-style command!" Yang Aiyuan said black  He scolded loudly with a straight face.  The Jinsui Army brigade commander who was being trained remained silent and said nothing, with his head lowered and his face full of shame.  Sun Chu on the side saw this and came out to smooth things over and said: "Brother Xingru, just calm down the fire. It's not all Brigadier Wu's fault. I heard that the Central Army in the south also suffered heavy losses in their attack today. Is it anyone's fault?"  Blame the Northeastern Army for being too powerful. " "Commander Wu, don't take it too seriously. Jincheng is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Three Jin Dynasties. Commander Yang shoulders the great trust of Mr. Yan. He is anxious and speaks harshly. You need more.  "I'm considerate." "I don't dare to do this. The failure during the day is indeed due to my improper command. I ask Commander Sun and Commander Yang to punish me." Seeing Sun Chu trying to smooth things over for him and going down the steps, the brigade commander surnamed Wu didn't dare to blame him, so he respectfully admitted his mistake.  Yang Aiyuan was also deliberately strict, so as to prevent the frontline soldiers from fearing death and injury in battle and not doing their best, which was also intended to scare the monkeys.  But seeing that Brigadier Wu's attitude was still respectful and honest, he pondered for a while and then said: "I hope you realize that you are wrong. I will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. Your position will be reduced to regimental commander and acting brigade commander. If there is no substantial progress tomorrow,  , and ask for the crime together!" "Yes, thank you Commander Yang for not killing me." Brigadier Wu stood up and saluted respectfully, then turned and left.  After witnessing the departure of the brigade commander surnamed Wu, Sun Chu saw Yang Aiyuan's intentions. He was afraid that Yang Aiyuan would murder again, so he advised: "Brother Xingru, killing generals in battle is a taboo for military officers. To scare the generals, we can adopt other methods."  "I don't know. It's just that if Jincheng doesn't fall for a day, we won't be able to return north to support Yanmen Pass and Jingxing Pass. Time is too precious for us. The Central Army can afford to wait, but we can't afford to delay it. Otherwise,  Once time passes and the Northeastern Army breaks through and reaches Taiyuan, it will be too late!" Yang Aiyuan said bitterly and helplessly.  "I understand how you feel, but haste makes waste, so be patient." Sun Chu said: "But then again, the Northeast Army's combat strength is indeed too strong. It is only less than 20,000 people.  A partial division, I just couldn't believe how amazing the combat power of the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Yanmen Pass was." Suddenly, a communications adjutant came over with a message in his hand, stood up and saluted the two of them: "Sir, sir.  General Fu Zuoyi called from the south. "Although Fu Zuoyi succeeded in the sneak attack on Jingxing Pass, his troops suffered heavy losses. In addition, Jincheng was blocked by the Northeast Army.The return of the less than a thousand men to the north would have no significant effect on the war situation.  After Yang Aiyuan discussed with Sun Chu, he asked Fu Zuoyi to lead his troops to continue stationed at Tianjingguan to make plans for the future.  However, the Central Army obviously had a longer-term view and seized the southern wall of Tianjing Pass and most of the barracks in the pass. Fu Zuoyi's remaining troops could only rely on the city wall to gain a foothold in the battle.  At the moment, both sides’ targets are Jincheng and Zhang Xinghan, and they have no intention of conflict.  But one thing can be foreseen. Once Jincheng is captured, there will be a fight between the Jinsui Army and the Central Army at Tianjing Pass.  Because for the Jinsui Army, Tianjing Pass is too important.  However, this is only if the Jinsui Army and the Central Army want to break through Jincheng, the difficulty is no less difficult than climbing to the sky. As for capturing Zhang Xinghan alive, it is even more impossible.  To put it another way, even if Jincheng could not be defended due to heavy casualties among the defenders, Zhang Xinghan could break out of the siege and escape into the Taihang Mountains under the cover of the guard camp and airborne brigade.  The two elite ace special forces under him, which are ranked among the best in the world, are not just blown away.  "What did Fu Zuoyi say in the message?" Yang Aiyuan asked without thinking much.  "General Fu Zuoyi called and said that there was news from the Central Army that attacking during the day would be easily hit by the air force and artillery firepower of the Northeast Frontier Army. Therefore, each attacking force should choose to attack at night, so as to offset the opponent's attack to the greatest extent.  The advantages of air force and artillery can be used to exert our advantage.  Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.  "You are absolutely right. The reason for the daytime attack was not that our officers and men of the Jinsui Army were not brave enough, but that the Northeastern Army under Zhang Xinghan had too strong firepower. This kind of power is enough to make up for the asymmetry in numbers between the two sides."  Sun Chu couldn't help but slap the table and praise.  Yang Aiyuan immediately ordered: "Immediately mobilize elite troops and prepare for a night attack. This time we will make the Northeast Army look good and regain the position during the day!" …………… After repelling the two attacks of the Central Army, Zhang Xinghan  He returned to the city and learned that the Jinsui Army's attack had also been defeated, so he returned directly to his headquarters in the city.  Guard Battalion Commander Guo Zhong and Airborne Brigade Captain Wang Longxiang also returned.  Standing next to Zhang Xinghan, one on the left and the other on the right. Seeing Zhang Xinghan's frown, Wang Longxiang couldn't help but ask: "Chief, it seems that you are very anxious? Didn't we fight very well this afternoon? What if the battle between the Jinsui Army and the Central Army  Our strength has always been above this level, and we can definitely hold on to Jincheng for more than a month." After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan came back from his thoughts, turned his head and said: "The brothers fought very well this afternoon, giving full play to our firepower advantage.  , However, we cannot be careless for a moment. The strength of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army is ten times that of mine. The loss in the afternoon is nothing at all to them, and it is far from breaking the bones.  What I'm worried about is that they suffered losses during the day and will definitely not give up at night. After nightfall, our air force cannot take off to participate in the battle, and the artillery is also blind. This is the moment when the enemy and the enemy really compete." After listening to Zhang Xinghan's words.  , Guo Zhong and Wang Longxiang could not help but nod in agreement.  They were obviously confused by the easy victory in the afternoon and were not aware of the current crisis.  Guo Zhong frowned and said: "Chief Commander, do we have any good measures to take just in case?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "If we fight at night, we can only ask the troops to be more vigilant and guard against death.  , Other than that, I don’t have any other good ideas.” “In fact, Zhang Xinghan already has a brilliant plan in mind. If this plan is adopted, the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army that will attack at night will definitely suffer heavy losses.  In the next few days, you can also feel fear and be unable to attack again.  “However, Zhang Xinghan was unwilling or could not bear to use it.  Because this plan is nothing but the use of poisonous gas bombs, which the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army could not have expected. If all the defenders were made to wear gas masks before they attacked, and the poisonous bombs were suddenly released, they would surely be caught off guard.  .  ??The various departments of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army are definitely not equipped with poison gas bombs now, because they are not the anti-war veteran troops that have fought against the Japanese in history.  There is still a lack of sufficient awareness of precautions against poison gas bombs, so as long as Zhang Xinghan uses poison gas bombs, he will not only be able to severely damage the Central Army and Shanxi Sui Army that may attack tonight.     returnThis will make them afraid to launch attacks in a short period of time because they are afraid of poison gas bombs.  But as a Chinese, the ultimate goal of Zhang Xinghan's Southern Expedition was to unite the strength of the entire nation as soon as possible, unanimously declare war on Japan, and achieve a strategic blockade of Japan to prevent its resurgence.  Unless he had to, Zhang Xinghan did not want to confront the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, who were both sons and daughters of China.  Not to mention the use of inhumane weapons of mass destruction such as gas bombs.  Against foreign invaders such as the Japanese, Zhang Xinghan could use these gas bombs in violation of international conventions on a large scale without blinking an eye or scruple.  “But Zhang Xinghan was really ruthless towards his compatriots, and he could not cross the threshold of his conscience.  (To be continued.)

    It was night, and Zhang Xinghan finally did not use poison gas bombs to deal with possible night attacks by the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.  “We just ordered all regiments and battalions to be more vigilant to prevent unexpected events.  But as Zhang Xinghan expected, at seven o'clock in the evening, when the sky was just getting dark, the sound of artillery shell explosions sounded first outside the south gate, followed by a flood of shouts of killing.  Not long after, there were shouts of killing outside the north gate, and the sound of gunfire also started as promised.  Zhang Xinghan did not pause at all, and ordered Wang Longxiang to speed up reinforcements to reinforce the defenders' positions at the north gate. The tank troops at the east and west gates also provided artillery support for the defenders outside the north and south gates respectively.  He led Guo Zhong straight to the south gate. Relatively speaking, the Central Army's equipment and combat strength were larger than those of the Jinsui Army, and it was more difficult to deal with.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan had to go to the battlefield outside the South Gate in person to command and deal with the unexpected battle.  When Zhang Xinghan rushed to the south of the city with more than a thousand reinforcements, the Central Army's large-scale offensive had already begun, which was different from some night surprise attacks.  Due to the restrictions of terrain and battlefield environment, the Central Army’s night attack actually chose to attack at night.  Basically, it is the same as during the day. The only difference is that the defenders will not be able to receive strong firepower support from their own air force for more than ten hours from now on.  And the artillery’s precise fire coverage and strike support.  The garrison in the south of the city was personally commanded by Liu Jianguo. From the moment the Central Army began its night attack, Liu Jianguo, who was always vigilant, immediately ordered his subordinates to launch illumination bombs.  A large number of flares were continuously launched into the sky, illuminating the sky in front of the entire position as if it were daytime.  Under the illumination of the flares, Zhang Xinghan, who had already followed the traffic trench to the front, could clearly see that a large number of Central Army soldiers were charging towards the minefield in front of their own position like a tide, fearing no death.  There were fires and explosions in front of them. It seemed that they were caused by the grenades thrown by the kamikaze at the front and the shells fired by the grenadiers and mortars who followed behind.  Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised that the Central Army could come up with such a demining method in such an environment. It seems that the Central Army is indeed capable of producing many people.  If there are so many talents, if they can be used by themselves, they will be able to display them as much as possible. There may not be a place for them on the international general stage in the future.  If nothing else, Zhang Xing was very optimistic about Zhang Lingfu, who almost capsized his boat and was helpless at the foot of Puyang City.  "Such a young and promising [***] talent should have a broader sky for them to display their talents and realize their ideals and ambitions as soldiers.  "These are all my own ideas. Whether they can be realized depends on whether the plan for the reorganization of the National Government can be successfully implemented.  Putting aside these distracting thoughts for the time being, Zhang Xinghan called Liu Jianguo and said: "Jianguo, immediately assemble all the bazooka rocket soldiers of the entire regiment, and immediately move secretly to the warning trenches in front of our forward position. Once the Central Army breaks through the mine,  Area, that is, use shoulder-mounted rocket launchers to fire intensively at them. In addition, before the enemy breaks through the minefield, the general-purpose machine guns of each battalion, company, and platoon should not be stingy with ammunition. Hit me hard and kill the enemy as much as possible!" "Yes!  !" Liu Jianguo agreed and immediately took the order.  Soon, the rocket soldiers assigned to each battalion, company and platoon were assembled. Under the personal leadership of Liu Jianguo, they followed the traffic trench and quietly entered the guard trench fifty meters away from their forward position.  This place is only fifty meters away from the innermost side of the minefield. If the Central Army breaks through all the minefields, it will be within the best effective range of the Bazooka Rocket Troops.  In the minefield, under the double blow of the Northeastern Army's intensive machine gun fire and ground mines, people from the Central Army's swarming charge continued to fall.  But there was no hesitation in advancing at their feet. As the explosions sounded, more and more minefields were cleared.  The heavy casualties were not without cost. The five-hundred-meter-long minefield was about to be breached.  At this time, Du Yuming and others who were observing the progress of the war in their own forward observation post couldn't help but said excitedly: "Great, the minefield is about to be broken through by us. Although the Northeast Army's firepower is becoming more intensive, as long as this minefield  After being cleared out, we can launch a large-scale group charge. The final victory must belong to our Central Army. "The one who said this was one of Du Yuming's adjutants. Zhang Lingfu on the side put down his telescope and said thoughtfully."  It shouldn't go so smoothly. Is Zhang Xinghan really at his wits' end? With his ability, he would sit back and watch us break through him so easily.A painstakingly laid out minefield?  " Zhang Lingfu's words aroused the vigilance of Du Yuming and others, but before they could react. The adjutant who just spoke suddenly pointed forward again and screamed: "Look, sirs, all my attacking troops have cleared the minefield.  After crossing a hundred meters, you can rush to the forward position of the Northeast Border Guard!  " Everyone's eyes followed his shout, and they raised their binoculars and looked forward. Sure enough, they saw that our attacking troops had begun to accelerate in vain, which showed that the minefield had been completely cleared by the death squads. " At the same time, in the Northeast,  In the security trench of the border guards, Liu Jianguo, who had been lying behind a bunker to secretly observe the progress of the Central Army, immediately raised his right hand. Under the bright white light of the flare and the injection of the rocket soldiers, Liu Jianguo.  His right hand swung forward fiercely. This was the order to fire. The dozens of bazooka rocket soldiers who had been preparing for a long time quickly picked up the bazooka rocket launchers and charged towards them.  The crowd of soldiers in the center pulled the trigger. "Swish, swish, swish boom, boom, boom, boom." In the extremely dazzling firelight, rockets roared out with long flames, shooting in like meteors.  These Central Army offensive troops were blocked by a minefield of only 500 meters, and their advance and retreat were slow. Countless soldiers in the middle fell to the mines and the heavy rain of machine gun bullets from the Northeast Army.  Holding back a ball of rage, when the minefield was completely cleared, one can imagine the speed of their feet. The power of these dozens of bazookas was no less than a heavy torpedo, especially the Central Army.  At this time, they had just rushed out of the minefield. The crowd was dense and fast. The distance was less than fifty meters, and they were not allowed to make any dodges. After a series of explosions, the firelight was as bright as fireworks.  . However, in the eyes of Du Yuming and others, those bright fireworks were like ice in the cold sky, and they instantly extinguished the enthusiasm they had just raised. Amid the screams of ah ah, large tracts of the Central Army collapsed.  Below, many people's bodies were covered with flames, and the screams were extremely frightening. What was even more deadly was the powerful and intensive machine gun firepower of the Northeast Army that never stopped.  The Central Army that had just broken through the Northeastern Army's minefield was wiped out. Looking at all this, Zhang Xinghan was not excited at all. On the contrary, his eyes showed unspeakable sadness. At this moment, his mood was very complicated.  Those who fell were not the Japanese or the Russians, but the Chinese like the Northeast Army. Zhang Xinghan now understood the desolation and helplessness behind the death of one general. However, the soldiers of both sides who died now also died.  It will never be of any value. As long as we can successfully reorganize the National Government and form a new United Nations Civil Government, the whole nation will be able to work together to fight for the rise of the Chinese nation. Looking back on today's events.  Sacrifice may be something that must be experienced in the course of history. Looking at the few prosperous times of the Chinese nation, they were often paved with the blood and bones of countless Han men. War is the source of chaos, but it also creates a prosperous era.  There is no bloodless war in the process it must go through. If any nation wants to rise, it must go through some inevitable wars and sacrifices.  This principle has never changed since ancient times.  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan quickly regained his cold composure and said sternly: "Order the first battalion to counterattack immediately. Attack is always the best defense!" "Yes!" Guo Zhong responded suddenly, and the order was quickly conveyed, hurriedly.  The charge horn sounded quickly.  The sound echoed through the night sky. On the Northeastern Army's forward position, a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the first reorganized division who was born in Longxing Military Academy took the lead and stood up holding a general-purpose machine gun: "Brothers, charge with me!" "Charge!"  Ah! Kill!" More than 500 Northeastern officers and soldiers deployed on the front line immediately responded, jumping up from the trenches and rushing forward.  In the security trench, Liu Jianguo heard the passionate charge trumpet in his ears. When he looked back, he saw hundreds of his own soldiers swarming forward like a tide with loud killing cries, and he couldn't bear the blood boiling in his body.  Carrying a submachine gun, he jumped out of the trench and took the lead in rushing forward.  Seeing this, dozens of rocket soldiers rushed out carrying the newly reloaded bazookas. After just a few steps, they either squatted or stood and fired another volley forward.  ThisAlthough the explosion of the volley of rocket launchers failed to cause any substantial damage to the Central Army, the fire and smoke generated by the explosion provided a good cover for the Northeast Army launching a counterattack.  Opposite, in the Central Army's forward observation post, when the fire and smoke dissipated, the overwhelming shouts of killing were already very close to them.  Except for Du Yuming, several adjutants were a little frightened. The adjutant named Huan Huan said with a pale face: "Sir, the Northeastern guys have counterattacked. The attacking troops have suffered heavy losses and they will definitely not be able to withstand it. It is not safe here. You should go first."  "Retreat." Du Yuming didn't say anything, but Zhang Lingfu shouted with a cold face: "Fuck you, the war is about to happen, how can you run away without fighting?" After that,  No matter how ugly the expressions of Du Yuming and the adjutant were, Zhang Lingfu turned to his attendant adjutant and shouted: "Xiaofu, gather the guards immediately, rush forward, and fight these Northeastern guys to the end!" (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 471: Bloody Battle in Jincheng (5)

    Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu had just walked out. Du Yuming looked at his adjutant with a somewhat unkind expression, and gritted his teeth and said: "Order the troops to counterattack immediately. You and I will go into battle in person. If we lose our position, you and I will raise our heads to see the committee!"  Liu Jianguo and others led their troops to take advantage of their recent victory and easily defeated the remaining Central Army offensive troops with an overwhelming and unstoppable momentum.  .?????? Driving them towards their own position like chasing ducks.  The officers and soldiers of the charging battalion fired from time to time with various weapons in their hands, and people from the Central Army in front who were unable to run were constantly shot and fell down.  Just when Liu Jianguo was about to attack, they wanted to lead a counterattack force into the Central Army's attack position and seize it.  Suddenly, deafening shouts of killing were heard from the Central Army's attack position.  Through the fire caused by the explosion of illumination bombs and artillery shells, it can be seen that countless Central Army troops are jumping out of the trench fortifications and rushing towards them in the opposite direction.  What surprised Liu Jianguo was that the Central Army troops who had just rushed out showed no mercy to the defeated Central Army troops who were being chased by him.  Open fire directly, and under the intensive firepower from both sides, hundreds of Central Army remnants soon fell down.  Liu Jianguo secretly took a breath of air. The Central Army officer opposite him was so damn hateful that he was so ruthless in killing his own people.  However, the development of the situation could no longer allow him to marvel too much. He almost joined forces to kill hundreds of defeated soldiers caught on both sides.  Because they didn’t stop when they were shot just now, they were all running fast, so now they almost collided head-on.  Liu Jianguo clearly saw a tall and burly Central Army soldier charging forward with an MP38 submachine gun in each hand, and the submachine guns in his hands kept spitting out tongues of fire.  Behind him there is also a young officer who is no less tall than him, and he is also armed with two guns.  "It turned out to be MP38?" Liu Jianguo's eyes were surprised for a while, and he understood immediately and shouted loudly: "As the dog said, they are the bastards who attacked Puyang. Brothers, fight with them to avenge the soldiers of the air defense regiment! Kill them!  !” The enemies were extremely jealous when they met, and both sides opened fire. Within such a close distance, people were constantly shot and fell.  Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu, armed with four submachine guns captured in Puyang, cooperated tacitly to cover and support each other. No fewer than a dozen Northeastern troops fell under their guns.  Although not all of the guards brought by Zhang Lingfu and Du Yuming were equipped with MP38 submachine guns, there were still some slightly backward flower traps.  Therefore, before the two sides came into close combat, the firepower of both sides basically consisted of intensive shooting with submachine guns.  The casualties were very heavy. By the time the assault troops at the front finished emptying the magazines of their submachine guns, both sides were already close at hand, and it was too late to change the magazines.  The two sides immediately started a bloody battle.  Zhang Lingfu’s two MP38 submachine guns finally fired two or three bullets, knocking down the two Northeast Army riflemen. When he pulled the trigger again, there was no sound.  Two Northeastern Army soldiers with red eyes rushed toward him with bayonets mounted on their rifles, roaring.  Zhang Lingfu was not afraid. He used two submachine guns to hold the bayonet of one of them, raised his foot and kicked him in the abdomen, sending him flying out.  He then sideways dodged the thrust of another Northeastern Army rifleman, and the submachine gun in his hand hit the Northeastern Army's steel helmet hard.  The soldier of the Northeast Army felt like stars were shining in his eyes. Before he could recover, Zhang Lingfu had already arrived. With all his strength, he kneed the soldier of the Northeast Army hard on the chin, knocking him upside down and throwing him on the spot.  He fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, unable to get up anymore.  Zhang Xiaofu, who was following Zhang Lingfu, was also very skilled. He was holding a dagger. After several encounters, three Northeastern Army commandos fell under his knife.  Liu Jianguo and several of his subordinates were also extremely brave. After the submachine guns in their hands were filled with bullets, they pulled out their pistols and fired at close range. The pistols were simply invincible.  At this time, the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides was greatly reflected.  Many Northeastern military officers and soldiers, such as assault soldiers armed with submachine guns, officers of all squads and above, machine gun shooters and deputy shooters, rocket soldiers, etc. are equipped with self-defense pistols.  At this time, the twenty-ring mirror box became a nightmare for the Central Army.  Under the intensive gunfire of bang bang bang, those Central Army soldiers holding medium-sized formal rifles and preparing to fight with bayonets fell down one after another with unwilling faces.  Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu, with their guards, had just dealt with some Northeastern troops when they were targeted by Liu Jianguo and the others who were seeking revenge.  The reloading speed of a pistol isMuch faster, not to mention that many of their bullets were only half consumed.  When Liu Jianguo and several rocket soldiers raised their pistols and aimed at Zhang Lingfu and the others, the sharp-eyed Zhang Xiaofu suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "Be careful."  Then he jumped up as quickly as a cheetah and threw Zhang Lingfu to the ground.  "Bang bang bang" The sound of dense box cannons suddenly sounded.  Some of the guards following Zhang Lingfu and the others were not so lucky. Puff puff, bullets pierced their bodies and they fell straight forward.  Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu survived the disaster. In shock, they quickly turned to both sides to avoid it.  Fortunately, at this time, a large number of Central Army and Northeastern Army swarmed in and fought together, blocking Liu Jianguo's shooting.  Soon, the pistol also lost its effect, and the extremely brutal hand-to-hand combat began.  Behind the Northeast Army position, Zhang Xinghan held up the telescope with great interest and said: "It's interesting, this wave of Central Army is quite unambiguous." Guo Zhong, who was standing behind Zhang Xinghan, said anxiously: "General, the Central Army is a man worthy of respect.  It is true that they are opponents, but such a hand-to-hand battle is not good for us. They have a large number of troops. Even if we win the hand-to-hand battle, it will be a tragic victory of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, which is not conducive to our long-term persistence.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement. In the situation just now, his troops took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and should be able to catch the Central Army by surprise, and maybe even capture their defensive positions.  "But I didn't expect that this Central Army was really tenacious. Under such adversity, they actually advanced instead of retreating and launched a tit-for-tat counterattack against the Northeastern Army.  "This will continue to be a stalemate. Reinforcements from the rear of the Central Army must be arriving in a steady stream. If this continues, the situation will definitely not be conducive to the Northeast Army.  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, please bring someone to support me and ask the counterattack troops to withdraw immediately. If the Central Army dares to pursue them, I will beat them severely." "Yes." Guo Zhong  He agreed with a bang and quickly took the order and left.  The retreating signal flare quickly took off, shining brightly in the night sky.  When Liu Jianguo and others, who were leading his troops in a bloody battle with the Central Army, saw this, they immediately ordered their men to retreat at the top of their lungs.  At this time, Guo Zhong had already jumped out of the trench with no less than a thousand officers and soldiers, and was ready to move forward to respond.  During the melee, the Central Army felt a little uncomfortable when they saw that the Northeastern Army wanted to run away. Zhang Lingfu soon discovered that something was wrong, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "The Northeastern Army has been defeated by our army, and they want to escape. Brothers, give me a chase and work hard.  Defeat them, long live the party-state, long live the Chairman! Charge!" The stunned Central Army came to their senses and immediately launched a pursuit of the Northeastern Army.  Seeing the hundreds of counterattacking officers and soldiers in front of him quickly retreating, Guo Zhong immediately ordered more than a thousand of his subordinates to disperse and lie down immediately.  He also signaled Liu Jianguo and the others to quickly pass through the gap. The Central Army chasing behind them was immediately hit by fierce firepower from Guo Zhong's supporting troops.  The Central Army that was caught off guard suddenly fell in pieces, and the pursuit momentum was immediately frustrated.  After giving the Central Army a head-on blow, Guo Zhong did not want to fight. He quickly used the ace guard troops he brought as the backbone, organized troops to cover alternately, and retreated towards his own position while fighting.  Zhang Lingfu caught up with his troops and urged the pursuit, but was blocked by firepower from the Northeastern Army who had already withdrawn after changing their magazines.  The pursuit failed and a lot of troops were lost.  In the end, we had no choice but to order the troops to stop the pursuit and retreat like a tide.  Outside Tianjing Pass, the 25th Division Headquarters.  Bai Chongxi, Guan Linzheng and others were sitting upright, with the anxiety in their eyes not concealed, which proved how anxious they were now.  I don’t know whether this night attack will be successful.  Suddenly, an orderly soldier ran in panting, and ignored the salute and said: "Sir, the first night attack failed. The Northeast Army took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack. Our offensive troops were defeated across the board. Fortunately, General Zhang Lingfu and General Du Yuming personally  He led his troops to fight to the death and defeated the Northeastern Army. "What's the situation like now?" Guan Linzheng was surprised at first, and then asked with relief.  "At present, the minefields outside the Northeast Army's positions have been cleared, and the deputy commander is discussing with General Zhang Lingfu to organize a second attack." the messenger replied.  "It's good that the minefield has been cleared, and the next battle will be less difficult." Guan Linzheng said with some relief.  "However, in the battle just now, one of my main regiments was almost crippled. The deputy division leader asked the division headquarters to immediately find a way to send troops for reinforcements." The messenger did not leave, but faced him.There is a bitter way.  "What? Another main force group has been disabled?" Guan Linzheng, who had just gained some relief, was shocked when he heard this.  Since the 25th Division went south from Anyang, it has only experienced one battle at Tianjingguan and organized two attacks in Jincheng, which resulted in losses of more than half.  If we continue to fight like this, won't it mean that we won't be able to survive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and our division will suffer all casualties?  When he thought that he might become a mere commander, Guan Linzheng said to Bai Chongxi with embarrassment: "General Staff, our department has suffered heavy casualties. See if you can ask the commissioner for permission to bring up Tang Enbo's 4th Division and replace it.  Let's go down and take a rest?" Although Bai Chongxi knew that Guan Linzheng had the intention to preserve the strength of his unit, he couldn't find it easily. He immediately nodded and said: "Master Guan, please don't worry, your unit has suffered heavy casualties. Bai has witnessed it with his own eyes and will definitely respond as soon as possible.  Report to the committee, please make the decision. " "Well, thank you to the General Staff for showing sympathy to my soldiers of the 25th Division!" Guan Linzheng's favorable impression of Bai Chongxi increased invisibly.  (To be continued.)

    In Luoyang City, Chairman Chiang was awakened by the bodyguard Wang Shihe overnight.  "Shihe, why are you so anxious? Is there some progress on the front line?" Chairman Jiang asked, obviously sleepy, rubbing the corners of his eyes.  "Commissioner, Bai Chongxi called. The 25th Division has suffered more than half of its casualties. Guan Linzheng wants to withdraw and rest, and asked the commission to send the 4th Division up." Wang Shihe replied with the telegram.  Chairman Chiang was so smart that he understood the mystery on the spot, pondered for a moment, and said: "Send a message directly to Guan Linzheng and tell him clearly that this battle is related to the fate of the party and the country. No one should take any chances. It should be  Don’t be afraid of sacrifice or bloodshed, and fight the enemy to the bitter end sooner or later. As long as you win this battle and cripple a division, I will give him two more divisions, and if you cripple a regiment, I will give him two more.  "A group!" "Yes!" Wang Shihe quickly stood up and responded, then quickly took the order and left.  …………… Jincheng front line, 25th Division Headquarters.  Bai Chongxi took Chairman Chiang's reply and said meaningfully to Guan Linzheng: "Brother Yudong, with the commissioner's assurance, are you relieved now? The commissioner attaches great importance to the battle of Jincheng. In this battle, all soldiers  You should all fight bravely and perform well. Once you succeed, your future will be limitless." Guan Linzheng nodded solemnly and promised: "Please take a seat. Don't worry, Guan and the 25th Division!  All soldiers must fight to the death and fight the Northeastern Army to the last soldier!" Bai Chongxi nodded with a smile and patted Guan Linzheng on the shoulder to encourage him.  While the first night attack of the Central Army in the south of the city failed, the exchange of fire between the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Northeastern Army defenders in the north of the city also entered a fierce stage.  Like the Central Army, after paying a heavy price in casualties, the Jinsui Army was finally able to clear the minefield in front of the Northeast Army's position.  At this moment, a large number of people were forming a dense charging formation to launch a group charge towards the Northeast Army.  The Jinsui Army, which has not experienced the baptism of the Anti-Japanese War, its main combat thoughts and concepts are still at the level of the warlords' melee.  In order to capture the positions of the Northeastern Army, the officers of the Jinsui Army who oversaw the battle were risking their lives.  Under the intensive and fierce firepower of the Northeastern Border Guards, the Jinsui Army who charged in groups were knocked down in pieces like straw.  The whole north of the city was boiling and the sky was filled with boils. Corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing everywhere. It was like a boiling purgatory on earth.  With the artillery support of the Ximen Tank Unit, the Shanxi-Sui Army's attack was finally completely defeated, and they retreated in embarrassment with heavy casualties.  Angry and angry, Yang Aiyuan killed the two regiment leaders in one go and urged Sun Chu to personally organize the next larger-scale attack.  And just as the bloody battle between the two sides was in full swing in Jincheng, outside Yanmen Pass, a group of black shadows followed the edge of the steep mountain footing on both sides of the official road and were quietly moving towards the Yanmen Pass wall in front.  Along the way, the corpses of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army and various mutilated weapons and equipment could be seen everywhere on the not-so-wide official road. The blood had long solidified, but there was still a pungent stench wafting in the air.  This group of shadows is none other than a night attack force sent by Liu Guodong. Just before dark, his 3rd Army had just concluded a fierce attack on Yanmen Pass.  In the bloody battle, both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties. However, after learning that Zhang Xinghan was now trapped in a tight siege, he was strictly ordered to quickly break through Yanmen Pass in order to respond.  The anxious Liu Guodong, deputy commander Shen Ke, chief of staff Zhang Tingshu and others decided to secretly dispatch a night attack force composed of elite soldiers selected from the group army's directly affiliated guard battalion and the guard battalions of each division after the large-scale offensive.  Taking advantage of the slackness of the defenders just after the battle, they quietly approached Yanmen Pass and suddenly launched a surprise attack to break through Yanmen Pass.  The Shanxi-Sui Army garrison guarding Yanmen Pass is the most famous veteran general. Historically, he was the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Sui Army during the Central Plains War. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as one of the four giants of the National Government. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he represented the Chinese Government.  Accepted Japan's surrender aboard the USS Missouri.  Xu Yongchang is currently the Army General Commander of the 3rd Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army.  As mentioned earlier, the Jinsui Army was divided into three factions, one of which was Xu Yongchang's Guoxian faction.  In summary, it can be seen that Xu Yongchang's status and prestige among the Shanxi-Sui Army.  This person graduated from the fourth phase of Baoding Military Academy (Army University), and later served as brigade commander in the direct army, and was later promoted to commander of the First Division and Shaanxi Garrison Commander.  In 1927, he led his troops to join the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan and participated in the Northern Expedition.  He later served as the political chairman of Suiyuan Province and Hebei Province until now.  It can be said that he has experienced hundreds of battles. It was with his command and supervision that the Shanxi-Sui Army was able to hold off hundreds of thousands of elite Northeast Army troops at Yanmen Pass.attack.  Of course, due to the huge difference in the strength of the two sides in weapons and equipment, artillery, air force and other arms, the casualties paid by the Shanxi-Sui Army were also very high.  No, Xu Yongchang, who had just repelled another fierce attack by the Northeastern Army, was sitting in the headquarters, frowning and saying nothing. He didn't even look at the dinner served by the cook in front of him, and he obviously had no appetite.  The adjutant on the side said with concern: "Military, you'd better eat something first. Your body can't bear it without eating. All the officers and soldiers of our Third Army are under your command, Military. Your health is more important than anything else." Xu Yongchang raised his head slightly.  He made a move, stopped the adjutant's kind words, and said: "The Northeastern Army is well-equipped, advanced in firearms, and well-trained. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold Yanmen Pass for long!" "Military seat, isn't there news from Taiyuan that Commander Yang has joined forces with the Central Army?  Have the Northeast Army leader Zhang Xinghan been besieged in Jincheng? "As long as they can break through Jincheng and capture Zhang Xinghan alive, the Northeast Army outside the pass will definitely be defeated without a fight, and the war will be over by then," the adjutant said.  "Capture Zhang Xinghan alive?" Xu Yongchang looked at the adjutant, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips: "If Zhang Xinghan was so indifferent to his peers, how could he have achieved today's achievements? I am afraid that Yang Aiyuan and Hu Zongnan did not eat Zhang Xinghan  "What a mouthful!" "But didn't the report say that Zhang Xinghan only has less than two people in Jincheng? And the total strength of the Central Army and our Jinsui Army is at least five times that of the Northeast Army?"  It's more than twice that, so why can't we win a small Jincheng?" the adjutant argued reluctantly.  Xu Yongchang didn't mind the adjutant's argument, but smiled and said: "Adjutant Liu, in the Shenyang defense battle, Zhang Xinghan only had less than 10,000 men, and the Japanese have successively increased their troops, reaching tens of thousands at most. "Do you think that we, Jinsui, have more troops?  Which one is weaker, the Central Army, or the Japanese Army?" The adjutant pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "According to my understanding, the Japanese are stronger in terms of training, active weapons, equipment, and logistical support.  "For our army."  And retreat. Now that he has nearly 20,000 troops, tanks, artillery, aircraft and other modern advanced equipment, do you still think that the Central Army and the Jinsui Army can capture Jincheng before the Northeast Army breaks through? " "  Then according to what the military commander said, aren't we destined to lose this battle?" the adjutant said with a sad expression.  "If the fight continues like this, our army will definitely be defeated." Xu Yongchang's eyes also showed the helplessness and frustration of a soldier.  Suddenly, the adjutant seemed to remember something, and said with some excitement: "Military seat, we all ignored one thing just now, that is, the Central Army and Guangxi's Guangxi Clique, which totaled no less than 500,000 troops, have gone north. " It won't be long before,  They will be able to rush to Shanxi to join the war, with an army of 500,000. By then, even if Zhang Xinghan has all the power, there will be nothing he can do!" Xu Yongchang looked at the adjutant with some humor and asked: "What do you think of the Central Army?  Will Zhang Xinghan sit back and watch without thinking about whether they can cross the Yellow River to join the war? "I guess they can't even enter the Central Plains!"  "It's very simple. As long as Zhang Xinghan dispatches the Northeast Army's air force to massively bomb various transportation points on the Beijing-Hankow Railway, this north-south artery can be completely paralyzed. Without the Beijing-Hankow Railway, half a million troops can only march on foot, thousands of miles apart.  , when they arrive, everything will return to dust, and it will be over." Xu Yongchang paused, and then said: "In other words, even if they can successfully cross the Yellow River to join the war, it will not be good for our Shanxi-Sui Army.  What a good thing, it's just that the wolf was chased away and the tiger came again." The adjutant thought for a while and looked at Xu Yongchang in surprise: "What does the military commander mean?" Xu Yongchang interrupted him and said: "  It’s good to understand some things, and there’s no need to say more. Trouble comes from the mouth.” The adjutant nodded cautiously and said, “Come, what should we do? The tens of thousands of soldiers in our 3rd Army must find a way out.”  "Ah." "The best way is to follow the general trend, welcome the Northeast Army to enter the customs, and respond to Zhang Xinghan's call for reorganization." From Xu Yongchang's perspective, he could not see that this was the general trend, but he said somewhat helplessly: "But.  "Yan Xishan treats me well and entrusts me with important tasks. If Xu welcomes the Northeast Army into the pass, wouldn't he become a ruthless and unjust villain?" The adjutant was surprised at first when he heard this, and then said: "Military seat, Shanxi is close to the northeast?"  Military territory, now the Northeast Army is getting stronger and stronger, and even Japan’s Kyushu Island has been captured. As you said, I’m afraidIt is beyond our power to resist, and the brutality of these days' battles also proves this.  The military commander is benevolent and righteous, and cannot bear to betray Mr. Yan. He respects his humble position, but as the old saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. Rather than letting tens of thousands of brothers bleed and sacrifice here, the outcome cannot be changed.  It is better to contact the Northeast Army outside the Pass as soon as possible and let them enter the Pass. This will avoid unnecessary sacrifices and find a good way out for tens of thousands of brothers.  The treatment of the Northeastern Army is obvious to all.  "(To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 473: Breaking through Yanmen Pass

    The adjutant's words made Xu Yongchang, who was already a little shaken, fall into deep thought. Compared with personal grudges and the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, which one is more important?  He fell into a fierce conflict just as Xu Yongchang was having a fierce ideological struggle.  Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire outside. Xu Yongchang stood up immediately and asked solemnly: "What's going on?" The adjutant turned around blankly, but the gunfire outside became more rapid, occasionally accompanied by some explosions.  Not long after, a second lieutenant of the Jinsui Army rushed in from outside. He reported to Xu Yongchang with a panicked face: "Military seat, it's not good. A Northeastern Army is coming to attack the wall. Brothers, we have to resist."  "I can't stop it!" "What? Didn't I strictly order you to be on guard against night attacks? Why would there be such a big mistake?" Xu Yongchang said with a gloomy expression.  The second lieutenant of the Jinsui Army did not know how to answer, so he hesitated and bowed his head in silence.  Hearing the gunfire outside becoming more and more intensive, the adjutant asked: "What should we do in the military? How about taking this opportunity to ask the brothers to give up resistance and let the Northeast Army enter the pass?" Xu Yongchang glared at him  , said: "Even if we want to let them enter, it must not be under circumstances like tonight. We are negotiating peace, not surrendering, let alone disarming, otherwise we would rather fight to the last soldier." After Xu Yongchang finished speaking  , picked up his helmet and the submachine gun hanging on the wall, and said: "Order the entire guard battalion to assemble and drive the Northeast Army down!" "Yes!" Upon seeing this, the adjutant and second lieutenant stood up and responded loudly, and followed hand in hand.  He walked out quickly.  On the wall, with the help of bamboo ladders and zip lines prepared by the logistics department, the night attack force, personally led by Zhang Tingshu, chief of staff of the 3rd Army, successfully climbed up the city wall while the defenders were paralyzed and careless.  At this time, there was a fierce exchange of fire with the Jinsui Army who had reacted.  There were fires and gunshots all over the city, and there were bullets whizzing back and forth everywhere.  The incoming Northeastern Army is all equipped with the most advanced MP38 submachine guns at the moment. It is self-evident that the assault firepower is powerful.  A mere few dozen people were able to knock down hundreds of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops on the north wall of Yanmen Pass, buying time for the follow-up troops to successfully climb the wall.  When Xu Yongchang arrived from the pass with his guard battalion, Zhang Tingshu had already led most of the night attack team members to climb the city wall and was assaulting the pass from the steps of the city walls on both sides.  Under the crossfire of a large number of MP38 submachine guns, the Jinsui Army that came from the pass fell in pieces, causing heavy casualties.  Xu Yongchang did not care about his own safety. With a wave of his hand, he led the guard battalion to press forward. His guard battalion was all equipped with Jin-made imitation MP18 submachine guns, commonly known as flower traps.  In such a close battle, the firepower is much stronger than that of the ordinary Jinsui Army. With their addition, the one-sided situation of the Jinsui Army has been alleviated.  At the same time, other troops of the 3rd Army stationed in the pass and in the open space south of the pass are swarming into the pass to come for reinforcements.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Tingshu immediately ordered the troops to stop the assault and retreat to the wall. At the same time, he ordered the signal soldiers to launch signal flares and summon the main army to attack.  Whoosh whoosh, three red flares slowly rose into the sky, as eye-catching as three bright red roses blooming under the night sky.  A few miles away, Liu Guodong and Shen Ke, who were waiting anxiously, were attracted by the sudden and long-lost signal flare. The two looked at each other in surprise. The latter said excitedly: "Chief, it seems that Lao Zhang and the others succeeded.  "Okay, let's go up quickly." "Yeah." Liu Guodong was also very excited and immediately said to the ordering soldiers on the side: "Order, all regiments attack immediately and seize Yanmen Pass! After entering the pass, all those who surrender will be surrendered.  If you don't, those who resist will be killed without mercy!" "Yes!" The ordering soldier responded with excitement and quickly turned around and ran out.  Liu Guodong said to Shen Ke again: "Lao Shen, you stay and take command, I will go with the assault force to support Lao Zhang!" "Hey, sir, you are the commander-in-chief of a group army, how can you leave your post without authorization and put yourself in danger?  It's better for me to go and you stay," Shen Ke stopped Liu Guodong.  Seeing Shen Ke's resolute attitude, Liu Jianguo nodded and said, "Okay, take care of everything!" Shen Ke nodded, signaling Liu Jianguo to rest assured, and walked out of the headquarters with the guards.  The Northeastern Army of the 3rd Group Army had already been prepared and waiting not far outside Yanmen Pass.  As soon as the signal flare took off, the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time stood up impatiently, and they could already faintly hear the deafening gunshots and explosions coming from Yanmen Pass from time to time.  Fortunately, the messenger was very quick.When the order from the group army headquarters came, thousands of Northeastern Army soldiers who had been waiting for a long time jumped out of the trenches and swarmed toward Yanmen Pass like a tide.  By the time Shen Ke arrived at the attack position with his guards, the first regiment of reinforcements had already rushed forward.  Shen Ke laughed and scolded the leader of the team for running too fast, and rushed towards Yanmen Pass with tens of thousands of Northeastern Army soldiers behind him.  The mere distance of a few miles is just a blink of an eye for the emotionally charged and impatient soldiers of the Northeastern Army.  The first batch of reinforcements from a regiment rushed outside the wall. At this time, a fierce battle was going on on the wall with loud gunshots.  The colonel leader who led the team waved his hand, and thousands of his officers and soldiers climbed up the ladder left by Zhang Tingshu's night attack troops and climbed to the city.  Seeing that the ladder was too slow, the remaining large group of officers and soldiers were lucky enough to blow up the city gate. Although the Shanxi-Sui Army had already blocked the Yanmenguan city wall, not long after, the city gate was still blown to pieces by the Northeast Army using explosive packs named Lie.  .  A large number of Northeastern Army infantrymen who were not afraid of death swarmed up, climbed onto the sandbags used by the Jinsui Army to block the city gate, and charged into the city while firing.  Within the pass, under the personal command and leadership of Xu Yongchang, the Jinsui Army launched wave after wave of fierce counterattacks against the troops led by Zhang Tingshu.  However, due to the terrain constraints of the Guanqiang, the Shanxi-Sui Army's absolute strength advantage could not be exerted, and they were repeatedly defeated by the fierce and dense rain of bullets from the Northeastern Army on the Guanqiang.  Just when Xu Yongchang was anxious, a large number of reinforcements from the Northeastern Army outside the pass arrived and climbed to the top of the city one after another. The firepower on the pass wall was quickly strengthened, and the Jinsui Army under the pass felt even more pressure.  Seeing that the situation was critical, Xu Yongchang decisively ordered his troops to retreat and retreat to the Nanguan Wall.  Upon seeing this, Zhang Tingshu immediately led his troops to rush down the wall and launch a pursuit.  A large number of Northeastern troops have already swarmed into the pass, making forgetful shouts of killing and roaring towards the pass.  When Shen Ke arrived with his troops, the Jinsui Army in the pass had been driven to the south gate of the pass by the Northeast Army. Rather than being driven, it is better to say that the Jinsui Army took the initiative to retreat to the south gate.  In fact, it’s impossible for them not to retreat.  Seeing that it was impossible to do anything, Xu Yongchang decisively gave up the attack, cut off his wrists, and quickly gathered his troops to retreat to the southern wall, relying on the wall to carry out tenacious resistance.  Zhang Tingshu led thousands of Northeastern troops to launch a tidal wave of attacks on the southern wall.  The switch between offense and defense was so fast that many of the Jinsui Army were unexpected. They were poorly prepared and were beaten very passively by the Northeast Army, which had superior firepower.  Being suppressed on the city wall, there were heavy casualties.  Xu Yongchang did not retreat to the wall with his troops. Instead, he was escorted by his adjutants and guards and exited the wall directly from the city gate.  The adjutants knew very well that retreating to the pass wall was the most dangerous, as the entire army would probably be annihilated, so they directly protected Xu Yongchang from Yanmen Pass.  "Send power to Taiyuan immediately. The north gate of Yanmen Pass has been breached by the Northeastern Army. The entire pass will fall in a matter of seconds. Mr. Yan, please make preparations as soon as possible!" After leaving Yanmen Pass, Xu Yongchang looked back sadly at the flames soaring into the sky.  Yanmenguan shouted loudly and ordered the adjutant.  The guards had already taken the order and left. The adjutant asked: "Military seat, Yanmen Pass has been lost. What should we do?"  If we fall, why should I go back to Taiyuan to see Mr. Yan?” The adjutant advised: “Don’t blame yourself, sir. You and the entire army have tried their best. The soldiers fought with blood and died, and the wounded are still there. It’s not that we didn’t do our best.  , The Northeast Army is really too strong." Xu Yongchang quickly recovered his calmness from the self-blame and said to the adjutant: "Adjutant Liu, you immediately send our military order, and each division immediately takes turns to cover the retreat, abandon Yanmen Pass, and move towards Xin.  "Retreat." "Yes!" The adjutant immediately stood up and took the order.  Xu Yongchang looked back at Yanmen Pass, which was still motivating the battle, and sighed in his heart, after tonight, the Jinsui Army will probably cease to exist!  “It’s not that he doesn’t know how important Yanmen Pass is, and what impact its fall will have on the overall strategic situation.  But Xu Yongchang did not save it at all costs, not only because his opponent was too powerful, but mainly because he was somewhat war-weary in his heart.  Because he saw the strength of the Northeastern Army under the command of Zhang Xinghan, and even more admired Zhang Xinghan for his courage to take action against the current [***] unbearable National Government.  As an upright soldier with patriotic sentiments, Xu Yongchang is also extremely disgusted with the current [***] of the National Government.  He sincerely hopes that Zhang Xinghan can successfully reorganize, and he also hopes that one dayHe said that China's army can no longer be divided into the Northeast Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Shandong Army.  It is a unified National Revolutionary Army. Of course, he also hopes to see Zhang Xinghan lead countless athletes to expedition to foreign lands, spread the country's prestige all over the world, and lead the Chinese nation to rise again and stand on top of the world.  "Compared to Chairman Chiang, knowledgeable people like Xu Yongchang obviously do not think that he has this ability.  Xu Yongchang's military order was issued. The Shanxi-Sui army, which was already frightened and unwilling to fight, retreated one after another. Zhang Tingshu and Shen Ke took advantage of the opportunity to capture Yanmen Pass and sent two regiments to pursue them.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 474: Reactions from All Parties

    Taiyuan, Yan Gongguan.  . In the middle of the night, a rush of footsteps came from outside Yan Xishan's bedroom, followed immediately by the wooden door being knocked.  Yan Laoxi, who was sleeping soundly with Taiyuan's name in his arms, was awakened in vain. He sat up suddenly and moved the quilt. The white body of the beauty in his arms was immediately exposed.  "Is it virtuous? What's the matter??" Yan Laoxi was extremely dissatisfied with his beautiful sleep being disturbed. He was getting older now, and he had sex with the beauty next to him before going to bed. His body and spirit were extremely  tired.  Sure enough, the voice of Yan Laoxi's chief adjutant Xu Youde came from outside the door, saying in a hurry: "Chairman, something bad has happened. General Xu Yongchang just called. Yanmen Pass has been lost. The Northeast Army has broken through the pass!" "What?"  "What did you say?" Yan Laoxi was shocked, rolled out of bed, opened the door, and grabbed Xu Youde's shoulder who was standing at the door in a panic: "Youde, what did you say just now?"  He said in despair: "Chairman, Yanmen Pass has been lost!" Yan Xishan looked miserable and said with disbelief in his eyes: "How is this possible? Xu Cichen is a famous general of our Jinsui Army. With him in charge, how can Yanmen Pass be lost?" "It's true.  Yes, this is an emergency message from General Xu." Xu Youde handed the message in his hand to Yan Xishan.  Yan Xishan received the telegram with some trembling, and read it with fear. He was confused and said at a loss: "Cichen missed me, Cichen missed me! Yanmen Pass is lost, what should I do?" Xu Youde suggested: "  Chairman, the situation is urgent. Should you send power to Mr. Yang immediately and ask him to return to Taiyuan to discuss countermeasures? " Yan Xishan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, send power to Xingru immediately, quickly, quickly?  Go!" "Yes!" Xu Youde saluted, turned and left quickly.  Almost at the same time that Yan Xishan received the message, Zhang Xinghan, who was supervising the battle in the south of the city, also received a victory message jointly sent by Liu Guodong, Shen Ke and Zhang Tingshu.  On the battlefield in the south of the city, the second attack organized by Du Yuming has begun, and Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others are leading their troops in a bloody battle with it.  Zhang Xinghan stood in the command post, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. Suddenly a communications soldier took off his earphones and stood up. He turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan and reported: "General, the 3rd Group Army has sent an urgent message from Yanmen Pass.  Half an hour ago, our 3rd Army's night attack force, under the personal leadership of Chief of Staff Zhang Tingshu, succeeded in a surprise attack on Yanmen. Now the troops have fully captured Yanmen Pass. The Shanxi-Sui Army Xu Yongchang's troops retreated to the Xinzhou area.  And march to Taiyuan!" "What?" Zhang Xinghan was also shocked. He turned around, took the message, read it hastily, and praised: "Beautiful, what a beautiful job.  Yanmen Pass was lost, and the western barrier of the Shanxi-Sui Army was lost. I saw what Yan Xishan could do to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of our 3rd Army. He immediately sent a message to Liu Guodong and Shen Ke, ordering them to attack Xinkou and quickly approach Taiyuan.  " "Yes!" the communication soldier responded, turned around, sat down, put on the headphones again, and started generating electricity.  Zhang Xinghan murmured with joy, Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan, let me see how you deal with it this time.  At the same time, in the Jinsui Army headquarters in the north of the city.  Yang Aiyuan read the message in his hand and handed it to Sun Chu who was surprised and confused with a solemn expression.  Sun Chu took the telegram and read it hastily, and was stunned on the spot.  After a long time, he said inarticulately: "Well, what should I do after class? Yanmen Pass has been lost, and Taiyuan is in danger!" Yang Aiyuan frowned and was silent for a long time, then said: "Immediately send a message to Chairman Yan and quickly order Xu Yongchang to lead his troops.  Hold on to Xinkou, and then mobilize all the troops left in Taiyuan to rush to Xinkou to defend Taiyuan! "What should we do? Should we continue to stay here?" Sun Chu asked.  Yang Aiyuan thought for a while and said: "We can no longer participate in the battle of Jincheng. Now Taiyuan's troops are weak, Xu Yongchang's troops have suffered too many casualties, and Shang Zhen's troops are also restrained in Jingxingguan and other places. Only we can escape and return to Taiyuan."  "Brother Xingru, do you mean to abandon the siege?" Sun Chu said worriedly: "Then the Central Army" Yang Aiyuan thought for a while and said: "Brother Cuiya, the Northeast Army defeated Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan.  The critical matter cannot be hidden from Chairman Chiang even if he thinks about it. If you and I jointly send electricity to Luoyang, we will say that Yanmen Pass has been lost and Taiyuan is in danger. We are ordered by Mr. Yan to urgently return reinforcements. The task of besieging Jincheng will trouble the Central Army.  " "Okay." Sun Chu nodded.After ordering the communication troops to generate electricity, the two of them took action and began to prepare for the evacuation of the troops.  … In Luoyang, Chairman Chiang learned the news that Yanmen Pass had been captured by the Northeast Army and Taiyuan was in danger just a little later than Yan Xishan and Zhang Xinghan.  Chairman Chiang was worryingly meditating on countermeasures when suddenly another attendant came with a telegram and reported to him: "Commissioner, Jin Suijun, Yang Aiyuan, and Sun Chu called jointly." Chairman Chiang frowned, feeling afraid.  What comes is what comes. Although Chairman Chiang's strategic vision is not very good, his tactical skills are even worse.  But he still knows what the fall of Yanmen Pass means.  He then waved his hand and said, "Read it." After the attendant finished reading, Wang Shihe could clearly feel that Chairman Jiang's face was gradually getting colder.  He raised his head slightly and saw that Chairman Chiang’s face was indeed gloomy and extremely terrifying.  Wang Shihe did not dare to ask any more questions, so he had to wait with his head lowered. The other attendant was sitting on pins and needles, standing restlessly, and lowered his head even lower in silence.  During the suffocating wait, Chairman Chiang finally spoke and told Wang Shihe with a gloomy face: "Reply the call to Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu immediately. Zhang Xinghan is the number one confidant of the party and state. We must not let the tiger go back easily, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Please two of you."  The general focused on the overall interests of the party and the country. After the event was completed, Zhongzheng recommended Brother Yang and Brother Sun to the Executive Yuan as provincial chairmen of Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces. " Wang Shihe did not dare to delay and quickly took the order with his communications attendant.  Time flies, and it is almost dawn. In Taiyuan, the lights in Yan Mansion are brightly lit. Since learning that Yanmen Pass was lost, Yan Xishan has not felt sleepy again.  Sitting in the office, anxiously waiting for a call back from Yang Aiyuan, until not long ago, I received a call back from Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, saying that they would immediately lead all the troops in the department to withdraw from the siege overnight and quickly return north to help Taiyuan. Chief Yan was carrying a  Only when the heart is settled.  He also ordered Xu Youde to send electricity to Xu Yongchang according to Yang Aiyuan's instructions, and asked him to organize troops to defend Xinzhou.  Not long after, the adjutant Xu Youde left and returned. Yan Xishan asked: "Youde, has the matter been done?" Xu Youde nodded and said: "Reporting to the chairman, the message has been sent. General Xu Yongchang must have received it by now."  Yan Xishan felt relieved and nodded, saying: "That's good, that's good. As long as Xingru can come to Taiyuan in time, it will be safe."  During the day, the air force was dispatched to attack Taiyuan Military Airport.  Not only did he kill off the poor airplane fortune that Chief Yan had worked so hard to accumulate, but the airport was also blown into ruins. In this way, Chief Yan's way to quickly escape by plane in a critical moment was cut off.  But, then again, with such a powerful air force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army ruling the sky, even if the Northeast Army did not attack Taiyuan Airport with air strikes, Yan Xishan might not dare to escape by plane.  As soon as the master and servant finished speaking, a communications soldier came in a hurry.  Ignoring saluting Yan Xishan, he said: "Chairman, General Yang Aiyuan is calling." "What? What did Xingru say in the telegram?" Yan Xishan immediately motioned to Xu Youde to take the telegram.  After taking the message from Xu Youde and opening it in a hurry, Yan Xishan was stunned on the spot, but Xu Youde, who was careful, noticed that Chairman Yan's face was quietly changing.  A moment later, Yan Xishan’s old face turned gloomy and terrifying.  Angrily, he stood up and slapped the table and cursed: "Chiang Zhongzheng, that bastard, he is trying to kill me." Xu Youde was startled and asked cautiously: "Sir, what's going on?" "He wants to destroy him.  Zhang Xinghan secretly ordered Xingru and Cuiya to give up returning to Taiyuan and continue to besiege Jincheng. He also used the power of the provincial chairman of Shanxi-Suiyuan Province as bait. Fortunately, Xingru and Cuiya were loyal to me, Yan, otherwise Taiyuan would be in danger.  We will die without a burial place!" Yan Xishan was filled with anger. At this moment, he had new and old hatreds, and he could not help but feel hatred for Chairman Chiang.  ……………… Xinzhou, Dai County.  After the fall of Yanmen Pass, Xu Yongchang led his troops to retreat to Dai County, and Zhang Tingshu, chief of staff of the 3rd Group Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, commanded two infantry regiments to follow closely.  The attack on Dai County is urgent.  There was loud gunfire outside, and the shouts of killing got louder and louder.  In the city of Dai County, the adjutant said to Xu Yongchang: "Military seat, Dai County is an isolated city and must not be defended for a long time. Otherwise, once the follow-up troops of the Northeast Army arrive, they will bypass Dai County and attack Xinzhou, cutting off our army's retreat. Tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed."  You will be in a dangerous dilemma.”nbsp; Xu Yongchang nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to order the troops to prepare to continue withdrawing eastward, a communications soldier suddenly walked in holding a message.  Facing Xu Yongchang’s questioning gaze, he saluted: “Military seat, Chairman Yan sent an urgent message from Taiyuan.” “Oh? What does the message say? Read it quickly!” Xu Yongchang stood up.  "Chairman Yan ordered us to stick to Xinzhou and wait for reinforcements. Without orders, we will never be allowed to take a step back. By holding Xinkou, we will hold the barrier to the northwest of Taiyuan. I hope Brother Cichen will remember this and Yan Baichuan's instructions!" the communications soldier read.  .  Xu Yongchang felt the urgency in Yan Xishan's words, but he did not blame himself at all for losing Yanmen Pass. He couldn't help but feel even more guilty. He immediately cheered up and said to his adjutant: "Order all divisions to retreat to Xinzhou immediately and hold on to wait for reinforcements."  All officers and men in the army, anyone who takes a step back without my orders will be killed without mercy!" (To be continued.)

    Time passed quickly, and the sky became brighter. The Central Army's fierce attack throughout the night finally failed to work, and the dejected withdrawal of troops stopped.  . Fearing the Northeast Army’s air force and artillery attacks, the Central Army’s 25th Division and other units ended their fierce attacks at night, switched from defense to offense, and hid in defensive positions and fortifications.  In Jincheng City, Zhang Xinghan returned from the south of the city after repelling a fierce attack by the Central Army at dawn. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? are having breakfast with Guo Zhong and others in the headquarters. After supervising the battle all night, they are very tired, but the squad leader of the cooking squad is very considerate, and prepared a pretty good breakfast before they came.  To replenish their physical and mental energy.  After staying up all night, my body was so sleepy that I lost all my sleepiness in the morning, and my stomach was full of hunger.  “In addition, Yanmen Pass has been breached by the 3rd Army, the battle in Shanxi will soon come to an end, and the situation has fully developed in our favor.  Zhang Xinghan was in a good mood. He grabbed the steamed buns and porridge and ate them deliciously.  I plan to take a nap and have a good rest after eating. Anyway, the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army will not dare to attack during the day.  While he and Guo Zhong were chatting and laughing and enjoying the delicious food, suddenly a man came outside. He was dusty and tired. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was Wang Longxiang who was supervising the battle in the north of the city.  "Long Xiang, just in time, hot porridge and steamed buns with our Northeastern miso, come and have some." Zhang Xinghan greeted him when he saw him.  Wang Longxiang sat down, not in a hurry to eat, but said with excitement in his tired eyes: "General seat, all the Shanxi-Sui army in the north of the city has withdrawn." "Oh? Really?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised and nodded happily.  He nodded and said: "It's good to go. I can have a more comfortable sleep after leaving." "Chief, do we need to send troops to pursue him? Could it be that if we let Yang Aiyuan return to Taiyuan smoothly, wouldn't that be detrimental to our two sides to the north?  Lu's army captures Taiyuan?" Wang Longxiang suggested.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while, and sending troops to pursue them at this time can certainly restrain the Jinsui Army from returning to Taiyuan, but it is obviously unrealistic to intercept them all.  The key is that the Central Army gathered in the Tianjingguan area has no less than 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and its own strength is insufficient. Considering the terrain from Jincheng to Changzhi, the Jinsui Army only needs to leave a small number of troops to block the attack, and the main force can calmly  Quickly retreat north.  Zhang Xinghan gave up the idea of ??pursuing the pursuit. The result of such a victory was not great. It was better to let his precious troops have a good rest. After all, everyone's nerves had been highly tense all day and night and they were in urgent need of rest.  At this time, another communications soldier came out of the communications room next to him and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Main Officer, we just received the latest intelligence message from the Secrecy Bureau." "Oh? What's going on?" Zhang Xinghan was so busy.  asked.  "The latest information just obtained by the Secret Bureau shows that Chairman Chiang has sent a telegram to Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, the generals of the Shanxi-Sui Army north of Jincheng, asking them to continue to lead their troops to cooperate with the Central Army in besieging our troops in Jincheng. Yang and Sun both  He refused to comply and decided to lead his troops back to Taiyuan. The chief of staff believed that Yan was resentful and that Yanmen Pass had been breached, so it was possible for him to surrender. He suggested that the commander-in-chief could try to generate electricity for Yan Xishan.  , looking at his reaction, it can be considered as a warning to Yan Xishan in advance and leaving a way out. As for the conditions for recruiting and surrendering, the chief executive can satisfy Yan Xishan as much as possible and promise to give him enough rights to induce him after the reorganization of the New Deal is successful.  If the commander-in-chief can leave the necessary troops to continue guarding the key areas of Jincheng, and personally lead a partial division to follow Yang and Sun's troops northward, he can firstly delay this part of the Shanxi-Sui army from returning to support Taiyuan, and secondly, it can coordinate with the troops of Liu Guodong and Shen Ke.  "Putting further pressure on Yan Xishan from the overall strategic perspective will be more effective. The commander-in-chief will decide what to do in the end." After the communication soldier finished reading, Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought and thought about it carefully.  Jiang Baili's words suddenly became clear, and he immediately ordered: "Immediately, in my name, send a telegram to Taiyuan for Brother Baichuan to read. It is really a last resort to revive Han Dynasty and raise troops to attack Jinsui. The country is now corrupt.  The people want to change the situation, and the Prosperous Han Dynasty does not know what it can do. It wants to unite the efforts of all colleagues to form a new political ax for the country and the people, and gather all the strength of the Chinese nation to revive our country and strengthen our country.  Brother Baichuan can put the overall situation first and lead the ministry to announce the peace talks. After the event is completed, I would like to recommend him to be the president of the Executive Yuan or the chairman of a certain province. If he can lead the three Jin brothers to stop the war, then I will recommend him.  The three Jin Dynasties have been spared from the war, and the people have been spared from the disaster of swordsmanship. Shanxi is very lucky, and the country and the nation are very lucky. "My foolish opinion is my brother's warning. I urgently need a response. I hope my mistake will be resolved quickly!"After sending the message, Zhang Xinghan solemnly said to Wang Longxiang: "Longxiang, I have decided to mobilize a regiment of troops to go north and personally lead the troops northward. The rest of the troops will be left to you and Jianguo to defend Jincheng. You must be a hundred times more careful this time.  Before the battle in Taiyuan is decided, there must be no mistakes, do you understand? " "Please rest assured, Chief, I will do my best this time and there will never be any mistakes again," Wang Longxiang assured with a pat on his face!  road.  "Okay." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, please bring the airborne brigade and the guard battalion with you this time. The tank regiment will transfer another battalion. We will form a mixed reinforced regiment and set off immediately."  "Yes." Guo Zhong quickly stood up and responded.  ……………… Luoyang, Chairman Chiang’s temporary residence.  Two military trucks were followed by a Ford car speeding from the north of the city.  The car stopped, and before the heavily armed central army guards on the truck got out of the truck, the back door of the car in the middle was pushed open, and Bai Chongxi, who looked a little tired, walked inside and got out.  Walking straight into the carriage, the adjutant sitting in the front row got out of the car in a hurry, and ran after him without even closing the door.  Last night, Bai Chongxi, who was still supervising the battle on the Jincheng front line, received an urgent message from Chairman Chiang after he learned about the fall of Yanmen Pass, asking him to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to discuss matters.  No, after receiving the order, Bai Chongxi did not dare to delay, crossed the Yellow River southward overnight, and finally arrived in Luoyang in the afternoon.  At this time, at least half a day had passed since the Jinsui Army withdrew and Zhang Xinghan led his army quietly to follow them northward.  After entering the cabin, Wang Shihe, who had been waiting for a long time, said that the commissioner was sitting in the study, and then led him through the layers of security and walked towards Chairman Chiang's study.  The two of them came to the outside of the study one after another. The door was ajar. Wang Shihe saluted respectfully: "Commissioner, President Bai is here." "Is Jiansheng here? Come in quickly." Chairman Jiang's voice was a little old.  came from inside.  Bai Chongxi nodded slightly to Wang Shihe, then opened the door and walked in.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was leaning on his cane and facing the window, his back turned to him, and his back looked a little lonely.  "Seat down." Bai Chongxi saluted as usual.  Chairman Chiang did not turn around, but said: "Jiansheng, I have called you here so urgently to ask you what you think of the current situation?" "Commissioner, I humbly believe that Yanmen Pass has been breached and Taiyuan is in danger.  , the panicked Yan Baichuan will definitely order Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu to lead their troops north to return for reinforcements. Without the assistance of Yang Aiyuan's troops, it will be difficult for us to capture Jincheng in a short time. Even if we capture Jincheng, there will be no encirclement by the Jinsui Army.  , Zhang Xinghan could also lead his troops to break out and escape when the situation was critical, and the bloodshed and sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers before became worthless." During this trip to the front line, Bai Chongxi could be said to have watched the war with his own eyes, and had a deep understanding of Zhang Xinghan's command.  We have a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Border Guard.  In fact, he already had secret regrets in his heart, wondering whether the Guangxi clique should not participate in the battle between the Northeast Army and Nanjing this time.  In other words, we were in the wrong team.  Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chairman Jiang suddenly turned around and snorted angrily: "Huh, on your way here, I got the news that Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu broke camp and retreated north last night to return reinforcements.  "I went to Taiyuan." "Huh?" Bai Chongxi was a little surprised and asked, "Since the committee was informed of the news in advance, didn't they take some measures to stop it?"  Said it again.  After hearing this, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but sigh and said: "This appointment was a mistake. Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu are both Yan Baichuan's confidants, especially Yang Aiyuan, who leans on his humerus and attaches great importance to him. They are also loyal to Yan Baichuan.  After the envoy's wooing, the two of them must report to Yan Baichuan to show their loyalty. In this way, Yan Xishan will definitely feel resentment towards you, the envoy. If the war situation continues to go against the Jin-Sui Army and the situation is difficult both internally and externally, Yan Xishan will most likely lead the way.  The Jin-Sui Army compromised and surrendered to Zhang Xinghan. With this, the whole matter is over!” Chairman Jiang suddenly felt bad after hearing Bai Chongxi’s analysis, and said somewhat at a loss: “What Jiansheng said was that I was in a hurry at the time, but I didn’t.  After thinking so much, what should we do?" Bai Chongxi paused and said thoughtfully: "For the current plan, the only way is to ask President Wang of the Executive Yuan to contact Yan Baichuan, comfort him and persuade him to abandon Taiyuan when necessary, and then order him.  Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu immediately stopped moving north, returned to Jincheng, and continued to encircle Zhang Xinghan with our Central Army. "Yan Xishan has a gap in his mind. Can you agree?" Chairman Jiang was a little worried.  &nbsp;"Commissioner, Wang Zhaoming has an old relationship with Yan Xishan, so he must be able to persuade him, but the committee also needs to give some benefits. I can promise that after the matter is completed, our Central Army will never get involved in the Shanxi-Sui Army, and even North China can let him  Give it to Yan Xishan. As long as you can kill Zhang Xinghan, it will all be worth it." Bai Chongxi said.  Chairman Chiang frowned and said hesitantly: "Without entering Shanxi, can the Shanxi-Sui army be able to stop Zhang Xinghan's attack? How will our army of 500,000 people join the battle after it arrives? Are we just watching outside Tianjing Pass?  "Yes?" Bai Chongxi said anxiously: "Commissioner, have you forgotten that as long as we can kill Zhang Xinghan, even if the Northeast Army takes over all of Shanxi, so what? By then, Zhang Xinghan will be captured or killed, including hundreds of thousands of people?"  The Northeastern Army was leaderless. The appointment allowed Yan Xishan to lead the Shanxi-Sui Army to a full-scale victory, and Hu Zongnan and Xue Yue to lead their troops from Shandong to Hebei, directly capture Baoding and Pingjin, and then attack the four provinces outside the Pass, seizing all Zhang Xinghan's foundation. Such a major event  Determined!" (To be continued.)

    Chairman Jiang was finally persuaded, nodded slightly, and summoned Wang Shihe to come in to prepare the electricity.  .?Bai Chongxi breathed a deep sigh of relief. Not long after Wang Shihe finished the telegram, he saluted, turned around and left as ordered.  Bai Chongxi came overnight. He had not rested for two days and one night. He was very tired and just wanted to say goodbye to Chairman Chiang.  Suddenly, there was a burst of panicked footsteps outside, and Wang Shihe was seen leaving and returning in a hurry.  "What's going on with Shihe?" Chairman Jiang also noticed that Wang Shihe's expression was wrong and asked anxiously.  Wang Shihe ignored the salute and said: "Committee, sorry, I just got the news that the Northeast Air Force launched a large-scale attack yesterday and attacked the Beijing-Hankow Railway, the southern Henan and northern Hubei sections, causing the railway to be interrupted, and our main reinforcements were unable to take the train.  Going north, General Xue Yue has ordered the forward troops to march on foot instead of marching day and night. However, due to the long distance, they may not be able to arrive as scheduled. " As soon as Wang Shihe said this, Chairman Jiang and Bai Chongxi had expressions on their faces.  Big changes.  Bai Chongxi seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and murmured: I should have thought of this, I should have thought of this, but we have all ignored this. The Northeast Army has absolute air supremacy.  With the cooperation of their Secret Bureau agents’ all-pervasive and accurate intelligence, they can completely paralyze the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, the main north-south transportation artery. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Chairman Jiang and Wang Shihe listened to these words word for word. Wang Shihe was better.  But Chairman Chiang’s face instantly turned the color of pig liver.  These hundreds of thousands of troops are Chairman Chiang’s biggest asset. Even if there is a total defeat north of the Yellow River, Shanxi will be captured by the Northeastern Army.  He can also rely on these hundreds of thousands of troops to rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to prevent the Northeast Army from marching south to the Central Plains.  But now that transportation is blocked and hundreds of thousands of troops cannot arrive in time, the battle in Shanxi has reached its most critical moment.  At this moment, Chairman Chiang felt helpless and frustrated as if he wanted to throw a stone at the sky.  If the war situation in Shanxi deteriorates to an irreversible point, then even the Central Plains and East China may be in danger and fall into the hands of Zhang Xinghan.  “Then I can only confront the Northeastern Army across the river, but that is extremely detrimental to the Nanjing National Government.  In most of China, the Northeastern Army already accounts for two-thirds, and may cross the Yangtze River and approach Nanjing at any time.  Thinking of this, Chairman Chiang felt a little discouraged and felt chills running down his spine.  Bai Chongxi had returned to normal after being absentminded just now. Seeing that Chairman Jiang looked a little dazed, with a gloomy look on his brows, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Commissioner, don't worry too much. What you plan is for people and God is for you. Your health is important."  The chairman also noticed his gaffe and ordered Wang Shihe to send electricity to Xue Yue, Gu Zhu and others, urging them to do everything possible to come as soon as possible.  Then he said to Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng, you have worked hard after traveling and traveling. Go and rest." Bai Chongxi lowered his head, said goodbye and left.  Chairman Chiang walked to the window alone and sighed melancholy.  ……………… Taiyuan, Yan Gongguan.  After all, Chairman Chiang’s message was several hours later than Zhang Xinghan’s.  When the two messages were placed on Yan Xishan's desk, this local warlord who had dominated Shanxi for many years fell into deep contemplation.  …………… On the official road from Jincheng to Changzhi, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong led a reinforced regiment composed of a guard battalion, an airborne brigade and a tank battalion and were advancing rapidly.  According to the information returned by the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the leading troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu's Second Division have passed Changzhi and are rushing towards Taiyuan.  Zhang Xinghan knew that time was pressing, so he ordered the troops to march at full speed, and finally arrived at Changzhi County around three o'clock in the afternoon.  At this time, the rear troops of the Jinsui Army had just entered the city and were planning to rest.  Without saying a word, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the tank battalion to bombard Changzhi County and launched the attack.  …………… The next day, outside the gate of Yan Mansion in Taiyuan City.  Yang Aiyuan jumped out of a military jeep and walked towards the mansion at a fast pace.  After walking a few steps, he met Yan Xishan's personal adjutant Xu Youde. Yang Aiyuan asked hurriedly: "Adjutant Xu, where is the chairman?" Xu Youde was a little surprised when he saw it was Yang Aiyuan, and then quickly replied: "The chairman is in the office. He has been there all night.  No sleep. General Yang, you came just in time.??Go in quickly and try to persuade me.  " Yang Aiyuan didn't say much and walked straight towards Yan Xishan's office. Yang Aiyuan pushed the door open and saw Yan Xishan leaning on the chair with his eyes closed. Not knowing what was going on, he quickly exclaimed: "Chairman, Chairman, you  What's wrong?  " Yan Xishan was instantly awakened by the sudden cry. When he opened his eyes, the surprise in his eyes turned into surprise. He grabbed Yang Aiyuan's arm and exclaimed: "Xingru, you, why are you back like this?  Yang Aiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he fell asleep. He smiled and said: "Chairman, the war situation is critical. I handed over the troops to Cui Ya, and I went ahead and came back."  " "Okay, just come back. Xingru, now that you are here, I have someone to discuss things with."  " Yan Xishan's eyes were a little moist when he talked about the emotional point. "Chairman, everything is not irreversible yet, please don't worry too much.  "Yang Aiyuan said with relief. Yan Xishan nodded, reached out and handed the two telegrams on the table to Yang Aiyuan and said: "Xingru, look, these are the telegrams sent by Jiang Zhongzheng and Zhang Xinghan.  " Yang Aiyuan took the telegram, read it hastily, and suddenly fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Yan Xishan asked: "Xingru, what do you think of the current situation?  How should we choose?  " Yang Aiyuan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said seriously: "Commissioner, in terms of political means, Zhang Xinghan is definitely not Chairman Chiang's opponent. In comparison, the latter is more cunning.  .  I will first analyze for you the pros and cons of choosing both sides. As for how to choose, we will discuss it later. What do you think?  " Yan Xishan nodded noncommittally. Yang Aiyuan said: "First of all, based on the current situation, if Chairman you agree to Zhang Xinghan's win over, then the Shanxi war will be over.  Today, Chairman Chiang and the reinforcements from the Guangxi clique are still thousands of miles away. As a result, the Central Plains will definitely be occupied by the Northeast Army, and Chairman Chiang is likely to be defeated to the south of the Yangtze River.  It can be said that as long as the chairman is willing to cooperate with Zhang Xinghan, the reorganization of the new National Government will definitely succeed.  But what we need to worry about is that after our army agrees to a ceasefire, the various departments of our Shanxi-Sui Army will be reorganized, their locations and whether the military chief will be replaced by Zhang Xinghan.  There is another most important point, that is, once Zhang Xinghan succeeds in reorganizing the New Deal, will he burn bridges and refuse to fulfill his promises? How should the chairman handle himself then?  " After listening, Yan Xishan nodded with deep understanding. Yang Aiyuan did not care, but continued: "On the other hand, if the chairman rejects Zhang Xinghan and instead agrees to Chairman Chiang's win-over and suggestion, he will order the subordinates to lead Sun Chu.  The troops gave up returning to aid Taiyuan and re-encircled Jincheng.  This move may be able to eliminate Zhang Xinghan before reinforcements from the Northeast Border Defense Force arrive.  But the premise is that, Chairman, you must be prepared to abandon Taiyuan and even most of Shanxi.  " Seeing Yan Xishan's expression of reluctance, Yang Aiyuan continued: "Even if we can really capture or kill Zhang Xinghan, then our Jinsui Army will suffer heavy losses due to the bloody battle with the Northeastern Army, and most of the base areas will be captured by the Northeastern Army.  It is also a situation where the central military is strong and we are weak. To say the least, even if Chairman Chiang can keep his promise and not get involved in the three Jin Dynasties, he will never let the entire North China and Northeast remain indifferent.  "If they take advantage of our army's invasion of Shanxi and Suiyuan to attack Shandong and Hebei, go to Baoding, occupy Pingjin, and attack outside the customs, wouldn't we be in a more dangerous situation?  Even if Zhang Xinghan is not a good person, Chairman Chiang is not a good person either. Once his strength reaches the level of Zhang Xinghan, or even worse, who can guarantee that he will not take action against Shanxi?  “On the contrary, he brought millions of troops to attack Shanxi from the Central Plains, East China, and Northeast China. Chairman, we only have the military power of Shanxi and Suizhou provinces, how can we resist it with manpower and material resources?  " While the two were discussing, suddenly the voice of personal adjutant Xu Youde came from outside: "Chairman, Mr. Wang Zhaoming, President of the Executive Yuan, called from Nanjing.  " "Dean Wang?  Wang Jingwei?  Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan in surprise and said to the outside: "Come in."  " Xu Youde responded, walked in with his head held high, and handed the message to Yan Xishan respectfully with both hands. After Yan Xishan took the message and read it, he said to Yang Aiyuan who was waiting aside: "Xingru, Wang Jingwei also called me to persuade me.  Support Chiang Kai-shek, what do you think?  " Yang Aiyuan said: "I heard before that Wang Zhaoming sent someone to the Northeast to try to win over Zhang Xinghan, but Zhang Xinghan rejected him mercilessly, so he held a grudge.  It may also be because of Zhang XingHe was disgusted with him, so he expected that Zhang Xinghan would lose power if the reorganization was successful, so he turned to support Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  The dispute between Wang and Jiang within the party has been going on for a long time. This person’s actions are definitely for his own selfish interests and are not really for the sake of the chairman. The chairman can completely ignore it.  " Yang Aiyuan's analysis was very reasonable. Yan Xishan nodded and threw the message aside. Just as he was about to discuss with Yang Aiyuan which side to decide on, another communications soldier hurried in to report. " Yan Xishan looked surprised.  Called in, the communications soldier saluted: "Chairman, General Yang, General Sun Chu called. The Northeastern Army in Jincheng suddenly followed our army north. Now it has arrived in Changzhi and is attacking fiercely. General Sun is afraid that Changzhi will be lost and endanger Taiyuan.  , has led his troops back to help!  ” ps: This is the second update. Dear readers, I sincerely ask for some recommendation votes. It’s already Wednesday and the recommendation votes are too shabby. Please everyone. There will be an update later. (To be continued.)

    Yan Xishan looked at Yang Aiyuan with a shocked face and said unclearly: "Xingru, what should we do?" Yang Aiyuan frowned and said: "Zhang Xinghan moves so fast. As a result, our army is in a dilemma." "  So what should we choose?" Yan Xishan was anxious.  Yang Aiyuan looked at Yan Xishan solemnly and said: "Chairman, because of the precedent of the Central Plains War, we and Chairman Chiang have already had bad feelings in our hearts. Even if we cooperate, it is for the immediate benefit. Once the crisis is resolved, then  A conflict is likely to break out. Unlike Zhang Xinghan, we have no old grudges with him. Our army suffered a loss in the battle of southern Shanxi. If the chairman chooses him here, it will help Zhang Xinghan, providing help in the snow and icing on the cake.  The wise man is elected as the former. Of course, there is one thing we must make Zhang Xinghan agree to, otherwise it would be better to be in ruins than in ruins.” …………… South of Changzhi City, strengthen the regiment’s temporary headquarters.  The attack on Changzhi is now a feint, aiming to deter Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu from returning to Taiyuan with all their strength.  It’s not yet time for the real onslaught, so Zhang Xinghan is not in a hurry. He is sitting on the stool on the ammunition box with his legs crossed, puffing away smoke.  Suddenly, a communications soldier in the headquarters took off his earphones and stood up. He turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Maintain, this is a call from Yan Xishan from Taiyuan." "Oh? What do you say?" Zhang Xinghan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.  asked with interest.  "Yan Xishan expressed his willingness to issue an armistice and call for power, but not to surrender, but to form a military alliance with our army, with you as the commander-in-chief. After the armistice in Shanxi, the Shanxi-Sui Army was willing to send troops to the Central Plains together with our Northeast Frontier Defense Force, but the Shanxi Army  All departments of the Sui Army must still be under the control of Yan Xishan, and the transfer of officers must also be approved by Yan Xishan. "The communication corps has not finished reading.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and interrupted him and said: "Don't worry about it. Does Yan Xishan still demand Shanxi's local economic income, and all government officials still come from Taiyuan? Are our Northeast Frontier Defense Forces not allowed to station in Shanxi?" Communications Corps clicked.  nod.  Zhang Xinghan snorted disdainfully.  Said: "Yan Xishan made a good plan. In this way, his Shanxi has become a country within a country as before. I raised hundreds of thousands of troops. Is it just to exchange him for a so-called military alliance? "  He took off his pants and farted, it was unnecessary." He paused.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand boldly and ordered: "Immediately reply to Yan Xishan in my name. The Shanxi-Suishan Army must accept the reorganization of our Northeast Frontier Defense Army and be unified into the 5th Group Army of the Northeast Army. Officers above the division can still be assigned to Yan Xishan on his own.  Appointment arrangement, but the government affairs and taxation of all counties and cities in Shanxi must be unified and assigned by the new government after the reorganization is completed, and the military pay of each army will also be uniformly distributed by the logistics department.  The title of the Northeast Army's 5th Group Army is only temporary. After the reorganization is completed in the future, the military committee will uniformly negotiate the unit numbers, battle sequences and other matters for the garrison in various places. As for the conditions I agreed to, I will definitely do it.  . Clearly told Yan Xishan that for our army, capturing Taiyuan is like trying to get something. The reason why Zhang is willing to negotiate with him is that he does not want to see hundreds of thousands of Shanxi-Sui troops fighting in the Northeast.  The troops are killing each other, and they can't bear to see the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties suffering from the sword. "Of course, if Chairman Yan is stubborn, then Zhang will have to accompany him to the end." The signal soldier quickly finished recording, saluted, and turned around to sit down.  Start sending text messages.  Zhang Xinghan took a puff of cigarette and thought to himself, I hope his carrot and stick strategy can succeed.  ……………… Taiyuan, inside Yan Mansion.  After the telegram was sent, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan began to wait uneasily.  Not long after, Adjutant Xu Youde hurried in with a telegram.  Yang Aiyuan asked: "Adjutant Xu, Zhang Xinghan called back?" Xu Youde nodded and said, "Yes, right here. Do you want me to read it to you, or?" Yang Aiyuan turned around and looked at Yan Xishan,  Seeing Yan Xishan nodding.  Then he signaled to Xu Youde Nian.  Xu Youde opened the message and read it truthfully.  After he finished reading, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan's expressions were a little uncertain.  Yan Xishan still couldn't help but said: "Xingru, what do you think we should do? Don't let us check the government affairs, no moreTaxation means there is no source of military expenditure.  Without military spending, the control of the army will also collapse. If something goes wrong in the future, you and I will not even have the capital to protect our family.  " In the final analysis, Yan Xishan, an old warlord, is still reluctant to delegate power. He has risen from troubled times and knows that guns are the capital of a life. Therefore, Zhang Xinghan's seemingly selfless suggestion is obviously unacceptable to him.  . ?For fear that Zhang Xinghan would kill him in the future, Yang Aiyuan was also in a dilemma. Although Zhang Xinghan's words at the end of the message were threatening, it was not arrogant.  , the Northeast Army will soon be able to attack Taiyuan City. Moreover, Yang Aiyuan can guess that now that Yanmen Pass is lost, Shang Zhen's headquarters, who fought bloody battles at Jingxing Pass, will not be able to hold on for long, and naturally they will not be able to get out.  As a result, Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan put off the matter of returning the call South of Changzhi County, the reinforcement regiment headquarters waited for a long time, but there was no reply from Taiyuan. Zhang Xinghan was inevitably a little anxious, but.  Knowing that at this time, he had to be more calm, he gave up the idea of ??sending another telegram to ask Yan Xishan. Thinking of Jiang Baili who was far away in Jilin, Zhang Xinghan ordered the communications soldier to send a telegram to Jiang Baili, explaining the situation in Shanxi.  Let him help come up with ideas and solutions. Jilin, the Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters. Since Zhang Xinghan led the troops south, although Jiang Baili was sitting in the rear and coordinating the overall situation, he was concerned about the situation in Shanxi.  After discussing with the Director of the Security Bureau, Shen Xingye, they moved the radio stations of the two offices to the telecommunications room of the headquarters to provide the latest and most useful information to the Southern Expedition Army far away on the front line. It was seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Baili and Shen Xingye.  We had dinner together and were playing chess together to pass the time. Suddenly, the commander-in-chief called with a telegram. After Jiang Baili took the telegram and read it hastily, he frowned slightly when he saw Shen Xingye sitting opposite him.  Zhuang asked: "Senzuo, what's wrong?  Have you encountered any difficulties?  "Jiang Baili handed him the message silently. After Shen Xingye also read it again, he said: "Master, the situation in Shanxi has obviously turned around, and the situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to our army.  "Yan Xishan will surrender if he wants to. If he doesn't surrender, hundreds of thousands of troops from our 1st and 3rd Group Armies will attack Taiyuan. If we capture him alive, why is the commander-in-chief so worried?"  " Jiang Baili shook his head slightly and said: "The art of war is as follows. The first is to attack with troops, then to attack with enemies, and then to attack with troops and then to attack the city. If the battle of Shanxi can be resolved through negotiation, we can defeat the enemy without fighting and win Taiyuan without bloodshed.  .  It will be of great benefit to our army. The most important point is that we can take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Central Army of the Nanjing National Government is thousands of miles away and the defense forces in the Central Plains and East China are weak.  Send troops south to cross the Yellow River and sweep across the Central Plains and East China. If they can capture the Central Plains and East China, then Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army will lose the basis for fighting for the world.  It is possible that our military’s willingness to negotiate for peace talks and reorganize a new government will be achieved.  On the contrary, if the Jinsui Army resists desperately and refuses to surrender, our army will certainly be able to capture Taiyuan and occupy Shanxi, but it will have missed its best opportunity.  They will also be unable to attack the Central Plains with all their strength due to the depletion of military strength. If during this period, hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army troops arrive in time and rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to resist, the battle in the Central Plains will inevitably fall into a protracted war of attrition.  It is extremely detrimental to our Chinese nation.  " "Oh, after listening to what the chief minister said, I understand the good intentions of you and the chief minister.  Shen Xingye nodded in sudden realization and said: "Well, now that Yan Xishan has not responded, what should we do?"  " Jiang Baili pondered for a moment and said: "The reason why Yan Xishan still has some illusions is because of Xu Yongchang of Xinzhou, Shang Zhen of Jingxing, and Sun Chu of Changzhi.  I think the commander-in-chief should do the work of other generals in the Shanxi-Sui Army.  After the division and disintegration, Sun Chu was Yan Xishan's confidant and favorite general, and there was no way he could rebel and join him.  Shang Zhen and Xu Yongchang can be used as a breakthrough. As long as one of them rebels, Yan Xishan will be in trouble, and it will not be difficult to accept the surrender and adaptation.  ”………… Strengthen the regiment headquarters.After Zhang Xinghan read Jiang Baili's call back, he clapped his hands on the table excitedly and praised: "Gao, you are worthy of being the chief of staff." "Zhongzi, immediately contact the Xinzhou Station and Luxian Station of the Security Bureau and ask them to find a way to contact Shang Zhen and Xu  Yongchang. "If these two are willing to defeat Yan, then they will be the great contributors to the reorganization. In the future, I will recommend them to serve on the Military Commission and share military power with me." Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong.  The reason for this arrangement is that Jiang Baili believed that Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen were both famous generals in the Shanxi-Sui Army, and Xu Yongchang had all the virtues of contemporary soldiers.  There are people with real talents and abilities, but their talents and abilities have only been used for so many years to assist Yan Xishan, engage in civil war, and warlord melee.  If he can be used in the right way, he will be regarded as a great talent for the country and the nation.  As soon as the telegram was sent out, a soldier came in to report: "Commander, our reconnaissance platoon just went out to investigate the situation and found that a large number of reinforcements from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army arrived at night from the north of Changzhi City, numbering more than 5,000 people."

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 478: Fighting without Bloodshed (Part 2)

    Jingxingguan, the headquarters of the Shanxi-Sui Army Shangzhen Division.  .?Jingxing Pass is one of the eight passes in Taihang and is the most important thoroughfare from Taihang to the North China Plain.  Therefore, it is the most strategic important point in the Hebei-Shanxi thoroughfare.  Since the Northeast Army moved south, Shang Zhen was ordered to supervise the troops along the Zhengtai Road and the 32nd Army and other units under his command, a total of 100,000 troops, to resist the main attack of the 1st Group Army of the Northeast Army commanded by Huang Xiansheng.  On Zhengtai Road, due to the lack of effective anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army, Huang Xiansheng, who had the advantage of air force, tanks and artillery fire, was defeated one after another.  Important places in Hebei such as Shimen (Shijiazhuang) and Zhengding were lost, especially Shimen, which is the intersection of the Zhengtai Railway and the Beijing-Hankou Railway.  The strategic location is self-evident, but fortunately, when the Shang earthquake headquarters retreated, they destroyed as many railways and highway bridges as possible along the way.  The great constraints slowed down the pursuit speed of the Northeast Army.  But with those means alone, it is impossible to completely block the Northeast Army's attack.  In the past few days, Huang Xiansheng personally led his troops to continuously launch fierce attacks on Jingxingguan and other important places that Shang Zhen was defending.  The battle was extremely fierce, with both the offensive and defensive sides suffering heavy casualties.  Since there was no air superiority and the artillery and tank units did not have an advantage, the generals under Shang Zhen fought extremely hard.  He complained to Shang Zhen many times and asked to withdraw.  They were all suppressed by Shang Zhen.  However, today, several division commanders and brigade commanders under Shang Zhen gathered at his headquarters again to propose a retreat to Shang Zhen.  The reason is simple. They all learned about the fall of Yanmen Pass.  In their view, once Yanmen Pass is lost, Taiyuan's rear will be in danger. What's the point of them fighting at Jingxing Pass and bleeding their heads.  And another reason is that the First Army of the Northeastern Army they fought against was too powerful. Whether it was ground firepower or aerial firepower, they were the only ones they had ever seen in their lives.  Many of these generals who had fought in the Central Plains war and had followed Shang Zhen in the east and west to conquer the Jinsui Army for many years were really afraid of being beaten. They would rather face the Central Army and the Northwest Army that were ten times larger than the Northeast Army.  The army exchanged fire with such a powerful opponent.  "Commander, please don't hesitate. The firepower of Huang Xiansheng's First Army is too fierce. All units have suffered heavy casualties. All the veterans who fought with us in the Central Plains War are almost dead!" A major general and brigade commander looked sad.  persuade.  Several other brigade commanders, division commanders, chiefs of staff and the like all agreed.  Shang Zhen had a gloomy face and said nothing. His grudges with Yan Xishan could not be explained clearly in a few words.  After the Northern Expedition, the country basically formed a superficial unity. Shang Zhen also benefited from his performance in the war and was named Chairman of Hebei Province.  Shang Zhen entered the society in his early years. After various experiences, he was not left behind in his literary, Taoist and military strategies.  After he had no choice but to seek refuge with Yan Xishan, the reason why he kept working hard for ten years was just for the unforgettable kindness of knowing him.  However, as his surname shows, he is unwilling to be controlled by others, so it is inevitable to look for opportunities to gain reading skills.  When he was acting as the governor of Suiyuan, Shang Zhen made an attempt in this regard.  In order to plan for future development, Shang Zhen established the Suiyuan Military and Political School in Guisui within a short period of time, and served as the principal himself.  The school enrolled more than 200 students in the first phase.  After the Northern Expedition was completed, he believed that all factions had been unified under the banner of Chiang Kai-shek and that obeying the Central Committee was the key to the problem.  Therefore, when he took office as the chairman of Hebei Province, Shang Zhen began to show centrifugal tendencies with Yan Xishan: first, he moved the original Suiyuan Military and Political School to Huangsi, Beiping, and changed its name to Hebei Military and Political School, and hired highly qualified teachers to teach  .  Expanded enrollment; established an instructor in Nanyuan to train the backbone of the army; also opened a party affairs training institute and a political training academy to prepare cadres.  At the same time, he also secretly purchased a batch of firearms through Zhang Xueliang and actively prepared to form a division by himself at the appropriate time.  However, Shang Zhen’s approach seemed a bit naive compared to the complex political situation at the time.  He did not see that Chiang's unification was only superficial, but the result of political compromise between various political forces. Chiang would not and could not completely change the relative power of various power groups.  In this situation, his position as chairman of Hebei Province is essentially a piece of Yan Xishan's share of the political struggle between various groups. In other words, it still belongs to Yan Xishan's sphere of influence. Yan Xishan is not interested in his attempts to read.  Will turn a blind eye.  Just when Shang Zhen was intoxicated with the bright prospect of getting rid of Yan Xishan, on August 10, 1929, he was transferred from Hebei Province with a "transfer order"The chairman became the chairman of Shanxi Province.  The transfer of Shang Zhen to Shanxi Provincial Chairman was a trick used by Yan Xishan. He quietly put Shang Zhen under his nose, completely wiping out Shang Zhen's efforts in the past period.  "However, on the other hand, it has become a turning point in the relationship between Yan and Shang. It is impossible to say that there is no grudge in my heart at all."  After more than a year of hard work in Hebei, a certain political, military, and economic foundation has been laid. However, Shang Zhen could only surrender to the sudden transfer. The energy and influence of Yan Xishan cannot be underestimated.  After returning to Shanxi, Shang Zhen was still the provincial chairman, but he was caught in the dilemma of being in charge but not having power from the beginning. All he had to do was "seal his stamp and accompany the guests."  It was not until the September 18th Incident broke out a few years ago that this situation was able to change. Due to historical changes, the five northwest provinces, Pingjin, Baoding and Cangzhou were occupied by Zhang Xinghan.  In order to resist possible attacks by Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army, Yan Xishan reactivated Shang Zhen. After all, most of the generals in the 320th Army were loyal to Shang Zhen's old troops.  This force cannot be ignored.  With the addition of Chairman Chiang, Zhang Xueliang promoted and supported him, Shang Zhen still serves as the commander of the 32nd Army, and the force of the unit has been expanded compared to before.  The Northeastern Army went south to attack North China and Shanxi.  Yan Xishan’s military deployment was also based on small calculations. No matter whether Shang Zhen preferred Nanjing or Taiyuan, he would inevitably have to fight the Northeast Army.  Therefore, Yan Xishan discussed with his confidant Yang Aiyuan, with the Shang Zhen Division as the main force, supplemented by several divisions of the Zhengtai Railway road protection force, to guard the area from Shimen to Jingxingguan.  Xu Yongchang and Fu Zuoyi led their troops to guard Datong and Yanmen Pass.  Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu and other Yan Xishan's confidants led their elite Jin troops to station in Taiyuan. They were the governor of the overall situation and could also be the second echelon troops to monitor Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen's troops.  With Yang Aiyuan's arrangement, even if Shang Zhen lives at the top, Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu can also go up behind. There is no need to worry about Fu Zuoyi and Xu Yongchang at Yanmen Pass in the west.  But the changes in the battle situation were beyond Yang Aiyuan and Yan Xishan's expectations.  Zhang Xinghan led a partial army south from Cangzhou, attacked Dezhou, besieged Puyang, and fought thousands of miles. In the end, he captured Tianjingguan and Jincheng, two important places in southern Shanxi, in one fell swoop.  Forced Yan Xishan to order Fu Zuoyi, Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu and other troops to station in southern Shanxi to ensure Shanxi's retreat.  “ In this way, Shang Zhen’s headquarters in Jingxingguan is extremely important. Yan Xishan basically sends three telegrams a day in Taiyuan, with condolences, awards and encouragement.  Food, ammunition, and other needs of the Shangquan headquarters will be fully supplied.  The purpose is to stabilize Shang Zhen and hope that he will not make any mistakes at this juncture.  With all the grudges and grudges from the past in my heart, coupled with the unfavorable war situation, the officers and soldiers who depended on them for their livelihood suffered heavy losses.  .  At this time, his subordinates all tried to persuade him, and Shang Zhen was a little moved, so he said: "Our army fought a bloody battle at Jingxingguan. No matter we win or lose, for us, if we win, Shanxi will have no worries, and Mr. Yan can still be safe."  The Shanxi native emperor was defeated. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, he probably didn't even have a place to stay. Therefore, it can be said that victory or defeat will not be of any benefit to us. But if we retreat at this time, we must first do it.  The best thing to do is to find a way out for yourself, otherwise tens of thousands of our brothers in the 32nd Army will have no way out." An officer said: "Commander, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing is coming to pay attention to you. Why don't we lead the army back south and return directly?  "In normal times, Chairman Chiang will definitely make arrangements, but now he is eager to eliminate Zhang Xinghan and will definitely not let them abandon Jingxing Pass, because once the Shanxi battle is lost, the Northeast Army will gain power. This is Chiang."  This cannot be allowed by the Chairman." Shang Zhen said.  The officer shut up. So, there is really no good way out to choose from now.  Of course, the generals present were not all mediocre. Some people thought of a way, which was to join the Northeast Army who was fighting fiercely with them, let them enter Shanxi, and turn around to attack Taiyuan.  However, this idea is too rebellious at present, and no one dares to be a pioneer. If Shang Zhen resents it, he will get into trouble.  Just when Shang Zhen and others were at a loss what to do, a communications staff officer hurriedly ran in with a message in his hand. Seeing that all the people present were Shang Zhen's confidants, he saluted directly to Shang Zhen and said: "Military seat, I have just received the message from the Northeast Army Commander-in-Chief.  A call from Commander Zhang Xinghan, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force. " "Oh?" Shang Zhen and others waited for a while.Surprised, he immediately reached out and took the message.  After reading the telegram, it was circulated to all the confidant generals. Someone on the spot said: "Military seat, this may not be an opportunity. If we lead the Northeast Army into the pass and attack Taiyuan City, then for Zhang Xinghan  , He has made a great contribution, and in the future the military will be able to serve in the New Deal. "The conditions offered by Zhang Xinghan are not unreasonable. If Shang Zhen, as the commander of the army, can really serve on the Military Commission, then  These close men and women can find good jobs no matter what.  If there were any difficulties or troubles in the future, Shang Zhen, who was in a high position, would be able to take care of him, so he changed his attitude on the spot and suggested that Shang Zhen rebel.  The same goes for Shang Zhen. The position of the Military Commission has entered the central level of political power, which is not unfair.  It’s much better than him having almost nowhere to stand now and no backing.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 479: Disintegration

    Seeing that Shang Zhen didn't speak, several subordinates named Ziji loudly persuaded: "Military seat, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation. Commander-in-Chief Zhang's Northeast Frontier Army expelled the Japanese invaders, recovered our mountains and rivers, and landed again in Japan."  Ben, how proud of our ancestors are we to seize Kyushu Island? It’s not worthwhile for us to put on this military uniform by following such a leader. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s new policy of reorganization At least there is nothing wrong with that in Nanjing.  Helping the officials who only know how to plunder the people's wealth can be completely eliminated, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the country and the nation. "Previously, even if everyone had this plan, it was difficult to say it directly. Now Zhang Xinghan's personal solicitation message has arrived, and there is this.  They had always admired Zhang Xinghan, and they envied the Northeast Army, so they began to take advantage of this golden opportunity to persuade him.  Because, from the current point of view, such a choice will be beneficial to them both publicly and privately.  Shang Zhen actually had some thoughts just now and was waiting for his subordinates to persuade him to step down.  Now that the steps have been taken, he reluctantly said: "For the sake of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and for the sake of your future, Shang agreed to Chairman Zhang's suggestion today. I hope he can fulfill his promise in the future and do more for the country and the nation."  Good thing." Everyone knew that these words were words of honor, and they all praised the military leader for being wise and serving the country and the people with great righteousness.  …………… At the same time, inside Xu Yongchang’s headquarters in Xinzhou.  Xu Yongchang, like Shang Zhen, both received messages from Zhang Xinghan, one after the other.  At this time, the situation in Xinzhou City was much worse than that at Jingxing Pass. Liu Guodong, Shen Ke and others led their troops to surround Xinzhou City on three sides, but they did not attack.  This was naturally a deployment made under Zhang Xinghan’s instructions in order to cooperate with the recruitment and surrender.  The adjutant waited for Xu Yongchang to finish reading the message and advised: "Sir, the matter is now over. You have tried your best. We should make plans early." "Oh, I always feel guilty for doing this, Mr. Yan!" Xu Yongchang thought in his heart.  This was the most contradictory moment. He also hoped that Zhang Xinghan could successfully reorganize the National Government and give it a new look and exude new vitality.  We look forward to his ability to lead 40 million compatriots to realize the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.  And I feel guilty about my personal emotions and conscience.  The adjutant knew his difficulty and said: "Sir, personal grudges should be weighed more than the national justice. Moreover, the situation in Shanxi is now in a state of decay. Maybe Yan Xishan himself is looking for a way out, so why should we be there?"  How about stubbornly persisting and risking the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to delay time? " After much hesitation, Xu Yongchang finally chose to accept Zhang Xinghan's surrender. After all, this was the general trend. Xu Yongchang understood that even if he disagreed.  He himself was unable to resist Liu Guodong's 3rd Army's attack on Taiyuan, and the reinforcements promised by Taiyuan had yet to show up.  Since the beginning of the Shanxi war, the progress has been almost in accordance with the combat plan formulated by Zhang Xinghan before the war.  There is no way to save him now. Zhang Xinghan did everything perfectly and he won again.  ……………… Changzhi, strengthen the Youth League Department.  Zhang Xinghan was holding a copy of the telegram he had just received in one hand, and was laughing a little triumphantly.  "It seems that Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen are still very aware of current affairs. This time, that old boy Yan Laoxi has enough to drink from a pot." "Chief seat, in this way, there will be no resistance in the direction of Jingxingguan and Xinkou. I  The army can march directly to Huanglong and reach Taiyuan. As long as our two armies attack Taiyuan, I am not afraid that Yan Xishan will not surrender!" Guo Zhong said excitedly on the side.  Zhang Xinghan put away his smile and ordered seriously: "Immediately send power to Liu Guodong and Huang Xiansheng. The 1st and 3rd Army immediately reserve the necessary troops to guard Jingxing and Yanmen Second Pass. The rest of the main force immediately advances towards Taiyuan at full speed. Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen's Second Division.  The troops and horses also need to work together to fight, and we have to capture Taiyuan within three days without any mistakes!" Guo Zhonggang was about to take the order and leave, but Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered something and stopped him and said: "Give Yizhi power and ask him to let the Secrecy Bureau do it!  Some precautions should be taken to prevent the intelligence personnel of Juntong and Yan Xishan from learning the situation, which would be detrimental to Shang Zhen and Xu Yongchang. At this juncture, their safety must be protected, and it is best to do it secretly to avoid arousing their suspicion. " "Yes.  ." Guo Zhong then lowered his head and responded, followed the order and left.  Facts have proved that Zhang Xinghan’s seemingly inconspicuous arrangement avoided many unexpected situations.  With the intervention of agents from the Secrecy Bureau lurking in various places, the military commander was too exhausted to cope with the situation and failed to do so in time.At that time, I noticed the changes in Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen.  Until, the two of them each sent their own troops, leading two large armies of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, no less than 100,000 troops, and divided the troops into two groups, crossed Yangquan and Xinkou, and headed straight for Taiyuan.  It was only then in Taiyuan City that Yan Xishan and Yang Aiyuan received this earth-shattering bad news.  In the Yan Mansion, Yan Xishan angrily cursed Shang Zhen and Xu Yongchang for being ungrateful.  Looking at Yan Xishan, whose orifices were filled with smoke and thunder, Yang Aiyuan couldn't help but feel sad for a moment. Is the Jinsui Army, which has been maintained for many years, really going to die?  Will the hard work you have put in over the years finally be wiped out?  At this moment, even though Yang Aiyuan was very unwilling and frustrated, his enthusiasm and ambition flew away in an instant like passing time.  The whole person was slumped and spiritless, and he said to Yan Xishan, who was still roaring: "Chairman, it's already too late. There are only two ways before us. First, lead a small group of guards to evacuate Taiyuan and leave Shanxi.  , defect to Guangxi or Nanjing. Second, call Zhang Xinghan and accept the surrender. Xingru won’t go into details, but I still recommend that you choose Zhang Xinghan. I believe that the chairman can see clearly and understand.  Yang Aiyuan ignored Yan Xishan and walked outside in despair.  Early the next morning, as it was getting dark, the city gate to the south of Changzhi City suddenly opened, and groups of Jinsui troops held up their weapons and filed out of the city in irregular formations.  The leader was undoubtedly Yan Xishan’s confidant, General Sun Chu of the Jin-Sui Army.  At this time, Sun Chu's face was a little dull. Last night, he received a personal telegram from Yan Xishan, asking him to immediately leave the city and surrender to the Northeast Army in the south of the city.  In the telegram, Yan Xishan informed everything in detail. He felt that the matter had come to this, and as his commander, he had already surrendered.  Sun Chu had nothing to hesitate about. As soon as it got dark, he contacted the Northeastern Army outside the city and opened the city gate to surrender.  Outside the city, more than 40 Northeastern Army tanks were lined up in two rows, and two of the Northeastern Border Guard’s most elite ace special battalions were lined up in front of the tanks and chariots.  They have bright armor, high energy, neat military appearance, and uniform formation. They exude a strong aura of killing invisibly, making everyone who sees them stand in awe.  Zhang Xinghan stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by Guo Zhong and a group of tall guards, looking directly at Sun Chu and others who led the team out of the city to surrender.  When he came forward, Sun Chu saw the people opposite him clearly. One of them looked familiar. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and said in great surprise: "You, who are you?" Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily, strode forward and said: "Brother Cuiya, little brother  It’s Zhang Xinghan, whom I have admired for a long time. I have no chance to meet him. Today, I will be able to work together. Xinghan is very excited!” Sun Chu did not expect that Zhang Xinghan was outside the city and would come to accept it in person.  I was surprised and happy at my own surrender.  At the same time, I admire Zhang Xinghan very much. Now he is the commander-in-chief of an army of millions, but he dares to lead such a large-scale attack and take the lead. This soldier's bloody courage is enough to make people extremely respect him.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan’s enthusiasm, there was no hint of arrogance in his tone, nor did he treat himself like a winner.  Sun Chu’s unwillingness to surrender and the gloom in his heart were instantly swept away. He was so surprised that it took him a while to react, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted a military salute. This is the best exchange between soldiers.  "Why is the defeated general so praised as the commander-in-chief? Sun really deserves it!" Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward and took Sun Chu's hand and said: "Brother Cuiya, there is no need to belittle yourself, the general is the best in the world."  As a famous general, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. I look forward to him saying that we can fight side by side, promote the power of the Chinese military to the world, and fight together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!" Sun Chu's face turned red with excitement, and he held Zhang Xinghan's hand tightly!  Hands, speechless.  Zhang Xinghan then raised his hand and said to the generals of the Jinsui Army behind Sun Chu: "Brothers, there is no need to hand over your weapons. I believe in you. From today on, you are also a member of my Northeast Army and my soldiers, Zhang Xinghan.  From now on, everyone will be treated equally in terms of military pay and treatment. When the war is over, you will be officially equipped with the most advanced American weapons." "Long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang!" Many people in the Jinsui Army have heard of Zhang Xinghan.  The famous people, who were the leaders, raised their guns and cheered.  …………… In Taiyuan City, a large number of Jinsui troops were also ordered to leave the city, waiting for the Northeast Army to come and receive them.  For a time, the celebrities and high-level politicians in Taiyuan City allFell into inexplicable panic.  However, Yan Xishan dispatched a large number of military police to maintain order in the city. Although some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, they were suppressed in time.  With such a huge change in Shanxi, it is natural that it cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Military Command Bureau. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from home  In Chairman Chiang’s office, after reading the message Wang Shihe brought, Chairman Chiang flew into a rage and cursed Yan Baichuan and others. ????????????????????????????????????? My mother loves her, and she can’t stop saying that she loves her.  Not long after, Bai Chongxi also came after hearing the news. After meeting, he hurriedly advised Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, the matter has come to an end. Now is not the time to get angry. We should quickly order Hu Zongnan to withdraw our troops north of the Yellow River as soon as possible.  Come out." (To be continued.)

    As soon as Bai Chongxi said these words, Chairman Jiang's furious voice stopped abruptly. He looked at him with a dejected expression, and finally waved his hands in silence and said: "Give Zongnan power and immediately evacuate all divisions from the area north of the Yellow River."  , Retreat to the Central Plains!” …………… With the new surrender of the Jinsui Army, it stands to reason that Zhang Xinghan would have to go to Taiyuan, especially now that the Northeast Army is busy taking over Taiyuan’s government affairs, military affairs and other comprehensive work matters.  Zhang Xinghan should go to Taiyuan to meet with Yan Laoxi and other Shanxi military and political officials to stabilize people's hearts.  However, Zhang Xinghan chose to lead his army directly from Changzhi south to Jincheng. In order to make up for the lack of troops, he also invited Sun Chu to lead more than 20,000 troops to go south with him.  After Sun Chu asked Yan Xishan for instructions, he readily agreed.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan did not go to Taiyuan is very simple, that is, there are nearly 100,000 Central Army troops south of Jincheng and north of the Yellow River.  He knew that once Chairman Chiang learned that Shanxi had surrendered, Hu Zongnan would be unable to support himself north of the Yellow River. As a precaution, he would definitely let Hu Zongnan retreat southward and retreat to the Central Plains.  Similarly, the direct impact of the total surrender of the Shanxi Jinsui Army was that the Central Army was short of troops in Henan. This was a rare good opportunity for the Central Plains to directly take over the Central Plains.  Zhang Xinghan naturally would not waste it. If he could eat several of Hu Zongnan's divisions in Hebei before he retreated to Henan, then the Central Plains would be at his fingertips.  By then, even if Chairman Chiang and the Guangxi main reinforcements of the Guangxi faction arrive, it will not be able to help.  However, although Zhang Xinghan could not go to Taiyuan, he could not ignore Yan Xishan and others while returning to Jincheng.  Zhang Xinghan also generated electricity for Jiang Baili in Jilin.  He was asked to fly to Baoding immediately, transfer to Taiyuan, and lead Huang Xiansheng and Liu Guodong to fully take over the Shanxi party, government, and military affairs and territory, and surrender the army.  Zhang Xinghan responded quickly and quickly returned to Jincheng. At this time, the Central Army outside the city had just received the retreat order from above.  There is no more offense.  They are all preparing to quietly withdraw from southern Shanxi and retreat to the Central Plains.  As for Jiaozuo, the central military agencies at all levels in Xinxiang and other places also took action at this moment and began to flee.  After Zhang Xinghan arrived in Jincheng, he did not bother to reminisce with Liu Jianguo and Wang Longxiang.  Then he told the two of them: "Jianguo, Long Xiang, the situation has changed. Shanxi has been pacified. Our worries have been lifted. Now your task is to attack across the board immediately. If you want to attack and pursue the enemy in person, you must kill them."  I am chasing and annihilating them on the north bank of the Yellow River." Liu Jianguo and others had already learned the news of the surrender of the Shanxi army led by Yan Xishan through telegrams, and they were very excited.  He said with some worry: "Chief, there is no problem in pursuing the pursuit. What I am worried about is whether the enemy will leave some troops to defend Tianjing Pass to block our army's pursuit. The terrain of Tianjing Pass is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack. If that happens  If so, we may not be able to stop the elite divisions of the Central Army on the opposite side!" Zhang Xinghan looked at Sun Chu next to him, smiled slightly and said: "Just don't worry about Jianguo, the Central Army north of Tianjingguan!  Don't let any of the troops pass by, but time is running out. You must lead the pursuit immediately and get to Tianjing Pass as soon as possible, otherwise Fu Zuoyi won't be able to hold on for long!" Liu Jianguo, Wang Longxiang and others looked at each other in surprise, and all stepped forward and said yes,  Then he turned around and left as ordered.  After watching them leave, Zhang Xinghan turned to Sun Chu and said: "Brother Cuiya, the military situation is urgent, and I would like to ask you to lead your troops and set off immediately." "Yes, Commander Zhang, please rest assured, Sun Chu will definitely live up to his mission.  Please." Sun Chu was very grateful for Zhang Xinghan's regard for him and agreed happily.  …………… At Tianjing Pass, the Shanxi-Sui Army stationed at the northern wall of Tianjing Pass is now in a dilemma of being surrounded from two sides.  Outside the wall in the north of the city, Du Yuming, deputy commander of the 25th Division, stood on a military jeep and shouted at the wall: "Fu Zuoyi, what are you doing? Why are you blocking our unit from crossing the border? Do you want to rebel?"  ” Closing the door, closing the door, the two sides were at war with each other, drawing guns and facing each other. Standing on the wall, Fu Zuoyi did not answer.  At this moment, he was quite conflicted. Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and others rebelled before the battle, which led to Yan Xishan's helplessness and the collective surrender of Shanxi's party, government and military officials.  And he called him and ordered him to blockade Tianjing Pass no matter what, and never allow the Central Army north of Tianjing Pass to go south.  ??And instructed that this is a good opportunity to make contributions to Zhang Xinghan, and I hope he will not miss it.  Zhang Xinghan also called not long ago and said that he would send reinforcements as soon as possible. Once the encirclement and annihilation are successful, Guan Linzheng, Tang Enbo, Wang Yaowu and other Central Army troops will give him the first credit.  The implication is that once the new government is successfully reorganized, it will definitely be given high-ranking officials and generousLu.  "However, after all, they were fighting side by side not long ago. To turn their guns and draw their swords so quickly, it was really hard to react psychologically.  Seeing that Fu Zuoyi was closed and ignored him, Du Yuming got into the jeep and headed north for the sake of safety.  Not long after, they arrived at an open space not far from the city wall. The three division commanders Wang Yaowu, Guan Linzheng, and Tang Enbo, as well as a group of staff adjutants, were all looking forward to it and waiting anxiously.  When they saw Du Yuming's car returning, they all came up to meet it. As soon as the car stopped, they asked: "Brother Guangting, how are you doing? Are you willing to give way to Fu Zuoyi?" Du Yuming shook his head with a frustrated face and said: "No, even  I don't want to say more. " "What should I do? When we broke through the Tianjing Pass, I was worried that Fu Zuoyi had no good intentions in occupying the northern pass, under the guise of resting here because of heavy casualties.  As expected, he rebelled today and cut off my return!" Tang Enbo said with regret.  "If I hadn't worried about destroying the cooperation between our Central Army and the Jinsui Army and affecting the siege of Jincheng, I would have captured him long ago." "What's the use of talking about it now? If it were normal, he would have less than two thousand  People, I can defeat them with one regiment!" Guan Linzheng said with a worried look: "But the key issue now is that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force behind us may catch up at any time, so we can't delay." "Since we can't delay, then we can.  Don't expect Fu Zuoyi to let us pass peacefully." Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division, looked at the crowd and said, "Hurry up and contact the Guannan troops to attack us from both sides, and quickly attack the wall to the north. We will be attacked from both sides.  Fu Zuoyi's small number of troops can't resist for long. ""I also agree with Commander Wang's suggestion. If peace talks don't work, then fight." Du Yuming nodded in agreement.  Tang Enbo said: "But if the pursuers of the Northeast Frontier Army arrive before our army has captured the wall, won't we be in danger of being attacked from both sides?" "Well, I'll let Zhang Lingfu lead a brigade.  After the ground defense was cut off, in order to block the Northeast Army's pursuing troops, all the remaining troops went into attack, opening up the connection with Guannan at all costs, and quickly retreating southward," Wang Yaowu volunteered.  Seeing that Wang Yaowu took the initiative to take on the arduous task of blocking this arduous task, everyone admired him deeply and nodded in agreement.  Soon, the 4th Division and the 25th Division sent effective troops to launch a fierce attack on the Guanqiang stationed by Fu Zuoyi's headquarters.  The Central Army in Guannan also launched an attack at the same time in response.  Jincheng is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from Tianjing Pass. For the fully mechanized Northeastern Border Guards, the journey is no more than an hour.  Sun Chu’s Jinsui Army arrived in two hours.  These two pursuit forces started to pursue the Central Army as soon as they arrived at Tianjing Pass.  Therefore, before Du Yuming and others could capture Tianjing Pass, Liu Jianguo and Wang Longxiang arrived with more than 10,000 elite Northeastern border guards and a large number of tanks and chariots.  At this time, Zhang Lingfu, who was responsible for leading his troops to block the attack, could not even build a decent defensive position.  However, the terrain to the north of Tianjingguan is steep and the roads are narrow, which provided them with great convenience and help.  Because the road is narrow and there are high mountains on both sides, the Northeast Army's superior strength and the effectiveness of tanks and chariots cannot be fully utilized.  Even so, in such a frontal battle lacking the protection of fortifications, Zhang Lingfu's troops were no match for the Northeast Army.  Liu Jianguo and Wang Longxiang's troops used a small number of No. 4 tanks as cover, supplemented by a large number of rocket launchers and general-purpose machine guns, to form a powerful assault firepower and advance step by step.  Continuously compressing the living space of Zhang Lingfu's troops, forcing them to retreat continuously, the situation is extremely critical.  Zhang Lingfu ordered his men to counterattack several times, but was thwarted by the powerful and fierce firepower of the Northeast Army, resulting in heavy casualties.  At the same time, the fierce battle at Tianjing Pass also fell into a fierce intensity.  The pressure faced by Fu Zuoyi's troops was by no means less than that of Zhang Lingfu. Due to the small number of troops and insufficient ammunition, they were attacked by the Central Army from two sides.  Fu Zuoyi’s men suffered heavy casualties, but since the gunshots were fired, they could only bite the bullet and fight. Otherwise, whether he surrendered or was captured at this time, there was only one fate waiting for Fu Zuoyi.  He was taken to Nanjing and appeared in a military court.  Therefore, Fu Zuoyi also tried his best to supervise the battle, and even went into battle with a gun himself, fighting side by side with his subordinates.  ……………… Luoyang, Chairman Chiang’s temporary residence.  After giving the order to Hu Zongnan, Bai Chongxi persuadedAfter understanding Jiang Guangtou, he told him that the current plan was to preserve as much strength as possible, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River, and cooperating with Han Fuqu's Shandong Army to defend the Central Plains.  Waiting for the arrival of 500,000 reinforcements.  The situation has not yet reached an irreversible point.  Under Bai Chongxi’s persuasion, Chairman Chiang regained some fighting spirit and hope. Now he was sitting on the sofa, anxiously waiting for the situation on the front line.  Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng, who had just flown in from Nanjing, were also sitting beside them, sitting at attention.  The atmosphere at the scene was quiet and somewhat depressing.  Suddenly, Wang Shihe hurriedly walked in, saluted Chairman Chiang and said, "Commissioner, I'm sorry. The 25th Division and other troops received a call. The Jinsui Army Fu Zuoyi Division stationed at the north wall of Tianjing Pass suddenly launched an attack and blocked the city gate.  "My three main divisions are not allowed to pass." "What?" Chairman Jiang stood up immediately after hearing this. The three divisions north of Tianjing Pass are all his own elite ace troops.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 481: Attacking the Central Plains (2)

    Not only did Chairman Chiang change his face when he heard this, but Bai Chongxi's expression also changed drastically. He asked urgently on the spot: "Captain Wang, have Du Yuming and others exchanged fire with Fu Zuoyi's troops now?" "The fire has already been exchanged, and Fu Zuoyi refuses to let go.  "The Northeast Army's pursuers were approaching, and several generals including Guan, Du, Tang, Wang, and Zhang had no choice but to command their troops to launch an attack," Wang Shihe replied.  Bai Chongxi immediately clapped his hands and said: "It's bad, Fu Zuoyi is good at guarding. Once he gets angry, it will be like forcing him to the opposite side. In this way, my three elite divisions will be in danger." Chairman Chiang was a little puzzled.  He said: "Jiansheng, why do you say that? Fu Zuoyi refused to let go, and Tang Enbo and the others did not attack. How could they just sit there and wait for death?"  It was Fu Zuoyi who held off the fierce attack of the National Army Song Zheyuan for more than three months. With less than 10,000 troops, he resisted the fierce attacks of tens of thousands of Feng army elites in Zhuozhou City for more than a hundred days. Although Fu Zuoyi now has little strength.  However, if Tang Enbo and the others want to defeat them and open up a way to retreat to the south, it will be difficult to defeat them. Once the Northeastern Border Guards take advantage of the situation, none of these three divisions will be spared!" Bai Chongxi explained.  When Bai Chongxi said these words, Chairman Jiang was suddenly shocked and said in a panic: "What should we do? Di Guan Linzheng, Tang Enbo, and Wang Yaowu are all elites of our army, and they have spent countless financial resources and efforts to establish them. Zhang Lingfu  They are all famous generals in the world, are they going to be wiped out like this?" Chairman Jiang's heart was bleeding when he thought about the possible fate of his beloved generals and three ace divisions.  Bai Chongxi shook his head helplessly and said: "If there is no exchange of fire between them, then the commission can send a message to Fu Zuoyi in the name of the military committee. If he can show his affection and reason, he may be able to persuade him to let our army go. But now.  , the two sides are fighting to the death, and Yan Xishan has surrendered. Fu Zuoyi can no longer turn back, and I am afraid that he is unable to change his attitude. " After hearing this, Chairman Jiang thought about it carefully, and suddenly seemed to have lost his soul.  Same, slumped down on the sofa.  ……………… Tianjing Pass, inside and outside the pass, there were beacon fires and cannons rumbling. Nearly 100,000 people from all sides started a desperate and bloody battle around this thousand-year-old pass.  As Bai Chongxi expected, although Fu Zuoyi's troops were small, his defense was extremely tenacious until Zhang Lingfu's two Class A regiments were completely defeated by the elite Northeast Army led by Liu Jianguo and Wang Longxiang.  Du Yuming, Guan Linzheng, Tang Enbo, Wang Yaowu and others also failed to defeat it.  At this time, Sun Chu also arrived with more than 20,000 Jinsui troops with high morale. Cooperating with Liu Jianguo's more than 10,000 troops, a total of 40,000 people surrounded the three elite ace divisions of the Central Army, the 4th, 25th, and 51st.  On a narrow official road of two kilometers.  The Central Army had no way to go from heaven to earth. Under the intensive artillery fire of the Northeast Army and the bombing of Air Force fighter planes, it fell into chaos, trampling on each other and crowding.  Sun Chu, Liu Jianguo and others led a fierce attack. Guan Linzheng, Tang Enbo, Zhang Lingfu and Du Yuming had no choice but to follow Chairman Chiang's instructions and lead the remaining troops to surrender to the Northeast Army.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's plan was mainly due to Bai Chongxi's suggestion. In any case, the war situation has not yet reached the point where it has become settled.  Even if peace talks are held in the future and the New Deal is reorganized, Du Yuming, Zhang Lingfu and other beloved generals will be able to regain their independence through negotiations.  Chairman Chiang also had no choice but to do this. In the end, he also understood that he and Zhang Xinghan were just an internal fight between the Nationalist Party, just like the previous fight with the Guangxi clique.  And it is definitely not a war against other parties and foreign invaders. Otherwise, he would rather his close disciples and generals commit suicide and sacrifice their lives for the country.  The fighting in the north of Guan Dynasty stopped, and the Central Army that was still responding inside Guan Guan quickly retreated.  Fu Zuoyi’s troops suffered heavy casualties, and there were tens of thousands of Central Army troops surrendering outside the pass. In order to prevent them from suddenly changing, they did not pursue them, but continued to block the city gates and walls.  Jincheng, inside Zhang Xinghan’s temporary headquarters.  Guo Zhong took the telegram from a communications soldier, walked to Zhang Xinghan, and said: "General, Jianguo called, Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, Wang Yaowu, Zhang Lingfu and other generals led the remaining troops to surrender, and the battle of Tianjingguan has ended successfully.  " Zhang Xinghan, who was smoking, nodded when he heard this and said: "Tell Brother Jianguo and Cuiya to treat Guan Linzheng, Du Yuming and other generals well, especially Zhang Lingfu, and keep an eye on him. No accidents will happen. " Guo Zhong ordered.  After nodding, Zhang Xinghan added: "In addition, immediately prepare a telegram and send it to Commissar Chiang Kai-shekLong hair go, the situation is like this, in order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, Chairman Chiang, please put the country and the nation first, please immediately agree to reorganize the New Deal and hold a universal election and other matters.  "As long as he nods, the two sides will cease the war immediately" "General Sir, what if Chairman Chiang makes a false promise and delays time in the name of peace talks?"  "Guo Zhong reminded. Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Then add one more message to the message. If the peace talks are accepted, the military and divisional units heading north along the Beijing-Hankow Railway should immediately stop advancing and return to their original stations to stand by.  " After Guo Zhong responded, he took the order and walked into the confidential room next to him. ………… Luoyang City. Chairman Chiang stood on the edge of the corridor in front of the office of Xingyuan with a cane in his heart, and seemed to be admiring the corridor.  On the opposite side of the rockery garden, the guard commander Wang Shihe stood nearby, and Bai Chongxi stood side by side with him, both of whom were also filled with sorrow. The 4th, 25th, and 51st divisions were eventually wiped out, although Commissar Chiang was defeated.  However, the Central Army's shortage of troops in the Central Plains has worsened. Chairman Chiang and Bai Chongxi are no longer worried about defeating Zhang Xinghan.  How to prevent the Northeastern Army and the Jinsui Army from crossing the Yellow River and marching into the Central Plains? Obviously, with the Beijing-Hankou Railway paralyzed and blocked, Bai Chongxi, as wise and cunning as he was, felt helpless.  The army, however, could not save the nearby fire, and could only sit back and watch the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains fall into the hands of the Northeast Army. There was helplessness, and I am afraid it was more of reluctance. There was a rush of footsteps at the end of the corridor in the distance.  Bai Chongxi and Chairman Jiang turned around slightly and saw Chen Cheng walking over with a hurried look and hurried steps, "Cixiu, what's wrong?  Chairman Chiang asked. "Commissioner, I just passed by the attendant's room, and an attendant happened to be sending a message. I brought it with me."  "Chen Cheng said solemnly. "Oh?  Where's the message?  "Chairman Chiang asked with his heart pounding. "It was sent by Zhang Xinghan of the Northeast Army.  " Chen Cheng replied. Chairman Chiang and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and the latter asked: "Brother Cixiu, what do Zhang Xinghan want?  " A look of surprise flashed in Chen Cheng's eyes, and he replied: "I ask the commissioner to accept the peace talks and agree to the reorganization.  " Chairman Chiang's face suddenly turned gloomy and he did not speak. Bai Chongxi thought about it for a while, and suddenly said with joy: "Commissioner, this is an opportunity for us. We can pretend to agree to Zhang Xinghan's request for peace talks, and try our best to  Delay time to wait for the arrival of my main reinforcements.  " Chairman Chiang was moved when he heard this, but Chen Cheng's words poured over him like cold water: "Zhang Xinghan said at the end of the message that in order to show our sincerity in peace talks, we need to order all the military units heading north along the Beijing-Hankow Railway to immediately  Stop heading north and return to your original station to wait for orders!  " Upon hearing these words, the glimmer of hope that Chairman Chiang had just raised was completely shattered. Bai Chongxi was also a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere at the scene was quite awkward and cold for a while. In the end, Chen Cheng asked cautiously:  "Commissioner, what do you think we should do in reply?  " Chairman Chiang said with some anger: "Call back to Zhang Xinghan and tell him that peace talks are possible. Let him lead the Northeastern Army to withdraw from North China, return to the border and wait for orders, and then fly to Nanjing to discuss reorganization. I promise with my personality that I will never do anything to harm him.  action, otherwise the central government will never compromise.  " Chen Cheng nodded and was about to take the order. Bai Chongxi quickly stopped him and said to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, you must not reply like this, otherwise Zhang Xinghan will immediately lead his troops to cross the Yellow River to attack the Central Plains after receiving the message.  , which is a great disadvantage to us now!  " Chairman Jiang looked at him and said angrily: "Then tell me, how should I reply to him?  Do you want me to agree to the peace talks and reorganization?  He asked me to withdraw the troops of Xue Yue and Gu Zhutong. How do you want me to respond?  " Bai Chongxi pondered for a while and said: "The commissioner can give a tactful reply like this, saying that the matter must be returned to Nanjing to convene a meeting of the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan for consultation before a decision can be made.  In order to stabilize Zhang Xinghan, the committee members can take a plane back to Nanjing immediately.  " Chen Cheng on the side frowned and interjected with a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid this answer may not be able to delay Zhang Xinghan's attack on the Central Plains. Zhang Xinghan is not an ordinary person. He must be able to see that we are deliberately delaying time.  "Bai Chongxi said sadly: "If Zhang Xinghan sends his troops to cross the river and enterAs for the Central Plains, the committee can order Xue Yue and Gu Zhutong's troops to immediately stop moving north and rely on the Jianghuai River Basin to prepare for the defense of the south of the Yangtze River.  " "You mean to give up the Central Plains and East China?  "Chen Cheng was taken aback, and his words were obviously unwilling. Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "The situation is like this and there is no way to save it. Instead of sitting back and watching the situation worsen and losing the Central Plains, it is better to abandon the car to save the commander and make preparations in advance.  " Chairman Chiang is so smart. He understood the implication of Bai Chongxi's words on the spot. If he gave Zhang Xinghan such a reply, wouldn't he give himself a reason and excuse to return to Nanjing? As for being able to hold back Zhang Xinghan, it would be better if he could succeed. If he didn't, it would be better.  It doesn’t matter. (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 482: Attacking the Central Plains (3)

    On the official road from Jincheng to Tianjing Pass, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong took the Jingwei Battalion and confidential communications personnel in military trucks and were driving to Tianjing Pass.  No matter what Chairman Chiang's reaction is, Zhang Xinghan will not stay in Jincheng any longer. He will go to Tianjingguan to command Sun Chu, Liu Jianguo and other troops to go south and occupy Xinxiang and Jiaozuo, Hebei.  By the way, there will also be some famous Japanese generals in history such as Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, Wang Yaowu and Zhang Lingfu.  These were Chairman Chiang’s favorite students and the shining stars on the Chinese battlefield during World War II.  Especially, Zhang Lingfu, who suffered his first defeat in his life with his most trusted general in Puyang, and then became famous all over the world when he blocked his attack in Puyang City.  For him, Zhang Xinghan still likes him very much. This should be the case when heroes cherish heroes.  Jincheng is not far from Tianjing Pass, and Zhang Xinghan and his party soon arrived at the Jinsui Army station outside the pass.  Now, inside and outside Tianjingguan, the number of troops surrendered by the Northeast Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and three divisions of the Central Yang Army has reached more than 70,000.  Naturally, one Tianjing Pass cannot be garrisoned, so Sun Chu’s Jinsui Army and Northeastern Army were basically stationed in the open space outside the pass.  The interior of the pass was used to detain tens of thousands of central yang army prisoners. As a precaution, Wang Longxiang and Liu Jianguo each led elites to guard the north and south gates of the pass.  This eliminated the possibility of the central yang army mutinying and escaping.  Zhang Xinghan had greeted Liu Jianguo, Sun Chu and others before arriving. Except for Wang Longxiang who was inconvenient to leave in Guannan, Sun Chu, Liu Jianguo and other officers waited for Zhang Xinghan on the official road for a long time.  The car Zhang Xinghan was riding in was a German-style military jeep. As soon as the car stopped, Liu Jianguo, Sun Chu and others came forward with smiles on their faces.  Before Zhang Xinghan had time to get out of the car, a confidential officer rushed from the vehicle behind, came to Zhang Xinghan, and whispered Chairman Chiang's reply in his ear.  After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan’s expression remained unchanged, his smile remained the same and he nodded lightly. After waving his hand to signal the confidential personnel to leave, he opened the door and got out of the car.  "Master, you are here." Liu Jianguo was the first to salute and say hello.  Sun Chu and others followed suit and saluted.  After some pleasantries, Zhang Xinghan walked toward the north wall, accompanied by Liu Jianguo, Sun Chu and others.  A heavily armed Northeastern Border Guard soldier stood every three to five meters on both the inner and outer walls of the city gate.  It can be said that there is a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps.  When Zhang Xinghan and other officers passed by, the soldiers standing guard saluted as a sign of respect.  After the group entered the city gate, they walked straight to a barracks in the north of the city.  Du Yuming, Zhang Lingfu and other central military generals were detained here.  Although they were prisoners, Liu Jianguo, Sun Chu and others followed Zhang Xinghan's orders and arranged separate accommodation for them, and the food and drink were better than ordinary prisoners.  Arriving at the camp, Zhang Xinghan looked at the large camp in front of him, turned around and asked, "Jianguo, that room is where Zhang Lingfu is locked up." "Zhang Lingfu is over there." Liu Jianguo pointed to a barracks on the right edge.  Zhang Xinghan looked where he was pointing and saw two tall Northeastern Army soldiers holding submachine guns standing outside the barracks.  After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xinghan walked towards the barracks.  Liu Jianguo, Sun Chu and others looked at each other, then followed closely with Guo Zhong and others.  "Chief seat!" When the two guard soldiers saw Zhang Xinghan and others arriving, they all stood up and saluted, with excitement in their eyes.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly to them, then opened the door and walked in.  Zhang Lingfu, who was inside, had already heard the sounds outside. He was sitting on the bed when he saw Zhang Xinghan come in. He raised his head and looked at each other without any timidity.  Liu Jianguo hated Zhang Lingfu. Seeing that he didn't stand up to salute or speak when he saw Zhang Xinghan, he was so cold and arrogant that he immediately reprimanded him: "Zhang Lingfu, our commander-in-chief came to see you, why are you so ignorant of praise?" Zhang Lingfu said to  Liu Jianguo's scolding turned a deaf ear, he snorted coldly, turned his head, and left Zhang Xinghan aside.  The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Sun Chu was a shrewd man. Seeing this, he stood up and said with a smile: "General Zhang, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, who is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, I heard that General Zhang once again,  As soon as the war was over, he came in a hurry, not even seeing others like Du Yuming, Guan Linzheng and others. He came to see you first. It’s self-evident that he appreciates you!" Zhang Lingfu looked up at Sun Chu and Zhang Xinghan, coldly.  He said: "Lingfu only recognizes my principal, the national governmentThe sole chairman of the Military Commission, Chiang Kai-shek, had never heard of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang.  "    "you!  "Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others were immediately furious when they heard this. They were about to explode, but Zhang Xinghan reached out to stop him. "I have heard for a long time that Zhang Lingfu is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, and that he is a talented person in Huangpu. Today, when I saw him, he truly lived up to his reputation.  Zhang Xinghan said with a smile: "Brother Lingfu, you became famous in the battle at Puyang. You defeated my elite men in a miserable state and suffered heavy losses."  If such a talented person with both wisdom and courage can be used on the battlefield to fight against foreign invasion and defend the country, he will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.  " Zhang Xinghan's flattering words somewhat weakened the hostility of Zhang Lingfu, who liked to wear high hats and was arrogant. He softened his tone slightly and said: "The defeated general is not brave enough. The Japanese invaded our land and killed my compatriots. Lingfu can't wait to see him."  Kill them all quickly, but you just have no chance to go to the battlefield and serve your country!  What a pity!  Zhang Xinghan grabbed the chat box and said: "The general has a sincere heart to serve the country. Since the September 18th Incident in the past, all the four provinces outside the customs were lost to the enemy. Why didn't he have the opportunity to go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country?"  " Zhang Lingfu was startled at first, then suddenly realized, he glared at Zhang Xinghan and said: "Lingfu is a soldier, and he has no intention or intention to interfere with political matters.  " "Of course a soldier's duty is to march and fight, but he must also distinguish who he fights for and who he sacrifices his life for. You and I are both Chinese soldiers, and we should fight for the survival of the Chinese nation, the glory and disgrace, and the rise and fall of the nation.  Rather than being loyal to the end for some people’s personal ** rule.  " Zhang Xinghan didn't say much on this topic. He just said a few words casually, and stopped before Zhang Lingfu could refute. He changed his voice and said: "Brother Lingfu, I have been marching and fighting for days. I think you are also very tired. Zhang  I won’t disturb your rest and will take my leave now.  " After saying that, he turned around and took the lead. After not taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and said: "Oh, by the way, Brother Lingfu, I will hold a banquet in the pass in the evening, and I will invite you and a few other dear friends to come and show your respect.  We only talk about military affairs and the ambitions and ideals among soldiers, and do not involve any politics!  " After Zhang Xinghan and others left, Zhang Lingfu stood up with a complicated mood, walked to the window, and watched Zhang Xinghan and his party gradually go away, not knowing what he was thinking. After leaving Zhang Lingfu's barracks, Zhang Xinghan went to Tang Enbo one after another  , Guan Linzheng, Wang Yaowu, Du Yuming and others were detained in the barracks to express condolences and meet one by one. Except for Du Yuming and Zhang Lingfu's previous attitudes, Guan Linzheng, Wang Yaowu and Tang Enbo all saluted Zhang Xinghan with military courtesy, showing great respect.  . They also responded positively to Zhang Xinghan's questions, looking like they were having a good time talking to each other, as if they were not prisoners who surrendered in battle, but guest generals who came to visit the Northeast Army.  How can you not see the flattery of Zhang Xinghan, but there is no need for him to break his face now. He understands that the fundamental problem of whether he can use them for his own use is not with them, but with Chairman Chiang's fall or death.  After agreeing to peace talks and forming a new national government, these professional soldiers will adapt to the situation and continue to serve in the new government, because this is not a partisan dispute, nor is it a foreign invasion, but a fight within the national government.  It was a question of who was in power and who was going to step down. That night, Zhang Xinghan kept Sun Chu as his companion and entertained dozens of military officers, including Du Yuming and Zhang Lingfu, but secretly sent Liu Jianguo to lead his troops out of Tianjing Pass to attack Jiyuan at night.  , preparing to capture Jiaozuo, Xinxiang and other areas north of the Yellow River, the central army has begun to retreat, almost becoming an empty city. Liu Jianguo's visit this time is almost like a reception, and prepares for the army's next move southward.  At the same time, in Taiyuan City, Jiang Baili, who had just arrived, would also meet with Huang Xiansheng, Liu Guodong, Zhang Tingshu, Shen Ke and others to entertain Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan and other Shanxi party, government and military officials. During the banquet, Yan Xishan expressed regret that Zhang Xinghan failed to come to Taiyuan.  Obviously a little disappointed. No matter how big a warlord is, you have to give him an interview, right? Faced with Yan Xishan’s slight dissatisfaction, Jiang Bailiang said with a smile: "Brother Baichuan, this  You don’t know something. The current situation is ever-changing. It is a great opportunity for us to make progress in the Central Plains. Xinghan sent me a message and mentioned that we should strive to cooperate with Brother Baichuan, Brother Xingru and all of you in the shortest possible time.  Colleagues from Shanxi gathered in Nanjing to meet each other.  " Yan Xishan was startled for a moment, and then, reminded by Yang Aiyuan's cough, he suddenly woke up and laughed heartily. "Gong"In the midst of the mistake, Jiang Baili proposed that Yang Aiyuan's troops join Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and other troops, and follow Liu Guodong's 3rd Army to go south, preparing to participate in the battle to cross the Yellow River south and enter the Central Plains.  In fact, Xu Yongchang and Shang Zhen’s headquarters had already broken with Yan Xishan, and all Jiang Baili asked for was the deployment of Yang Aiyuan’s troops.  Yan Xishan was sensible and readily agreed, although he was a little worried that Zhang Xinghan would use them as cannon fodder to weaken the strength of Yang Aiyuan's troops.  But considering that Yang Aiyuan was leading the army and could better communicate with Yan Xishan, they discussed this matter secretly before attending the banquet, and Jiang Baili raised it.  Yan Xishan readily agreed, which would also gain the trust of Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili, which would be beneficial to their future situation.  While talking and laughing, the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Jinsui Army and Northeastern Army was arranged. Jiang Baili was also very happy. He picked up his wine glass, led a series of generals from the Northeastern Army, and began to salute frequently.  It was decided here that Huang Xiansheng’s 70,000-plus main force of the First Army would be responsible for taking over Shanxi and Hebei and maintaining local security. The main force would be temporarily stationed in Taiyuan.  Liu Guodong’s 100,000-strong 3rd Group Army, under the command of Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and others, together with Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen, Yang Aiyuan and other Shanxi-Sui Army, totaling more than 200,000 people.  The next day, we will set off from Taiyuan and head south to prepare to participate in the attack on the Central Plains.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 483: Attacking the Central Plains (4)

    In the north of Tianjingguan, there is a large marching tent.  Zhang Xinghan, Sun Chu, Guo Zhong and other generals of the Northeast Army and Shanxi-Sui Army, as well as generals of the Central Army such as Du Yuming, Wang Yaowu, Zhang Lingfu, etc. were drinking and talking.  Since both sides deliberately avoided some political topics and only talked about military affairs, everyone had a good time talking with each other.  Some of them have been classmates for many years, and some have fought side by side in the Northern Expedition.  After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became lively.  Regarding the performance of the Northeastern Army in recent years, everyone expressed their high appreciation from a purely military standpoint.  Full of praise, Du Yuming and others also expressed their sincere submission to the founder of the Northeast Army. Of course, this was under the premise of putting aside political grudges.  Inadvertently, Zhang Xinghan said that if there is an opportunity in the future, he hopes to fight side by side with them and deal with the outside world together. Everyone also showed a high level of interest.  During the banquet, Zhang Xinghan cordially took Zhang Lingfu's arm, held up his wine glass and said drunkenly to everyone present: "Since I started the army in Shenyang, I have fought against the Japanese, resisted the Russians, and fought hundreds of battles. I have experienced countless life and death experiences, and I have encountered enemy countries.  There are no less than a hundred famous generals, but as of now, the only person Zhang admires in his life is Zhang Lingfu!" After Zhang Xinghan said these words, everyone present changed their colors and was in an uproar.  Whether it’s the truth or drunken talk, as the saying goes, you tell the truth when you’re drunk.  Zhang Xinghan made such a high evaluation of Zhang Lingfu, which is enough to make him famous all over the world.  But as the captured central military generals, they didn't see it that way. As Zhang Lingfu's boss, Wang Yaowu was worried that this matter might have an extremely negative impact on Zhang Lingfu's future future.  As a person from the third generation of Huangpu, he knew very well how suspicious their president Jiang and Chairman were, and Zhang Xinghan showed such enthusiasm and kindness to Zhang Lingfu.  Even if Zhang Lingfu is still loyal to Chairman Chiang, it may be difficult to eliminate the grudge in Jiang's heart.  Tang Enbo, who was the backbone of the Huangpu generals, was angry about this and believed that Zhang Lingfu had been won over by Zhang Xinghan and betrayed their principal, Jiang. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can??make??????????????????  Tang Enbo’s reaction was partly because he hated Zhang Lingfu for betraying his loyal and loyal Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, but more importantly, he was probably jealous of Zhang Lingfu’s dazzling performance in the battle of Hebei. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Can be favored by Zhang Lingfu, a junior in the fourth phase of Huangpu, may his status and status surpass him in the future.  Zhang Lingfu himself was both surprised and delighted. His personality was very aloof, but Zhang Xinghan had few contemporary soldiers whom he could honestly admire.  And Zhang Xinghan's achievements are already beyond the reach of many Huangpu generals.  Being able to receive such praise from Zhang Xinghan in front of everyone, one can imagine how Zhang Lingfu felt.  He was overjoyed, and while slightly drunk, he raised his glass and said unintentionally: "Lingfu also admires the general's life story, which is what a man should do. If given the opportunity, he is willing to lead a brigade like the general, sweep the Japanese islands, and conquer Tokyo!" This  The banquet, where everyone had their own thoughts, finally came to an end at ten o'clock in the evening.  After Wang Yaowu took the somewhat drunk Zhang Lingfu away, he found a place where no one was around and scolded him in a low voice: "Lingfu, what you did today has ruined all your past achievements." Zhang Lingfu looked at his superior with drunken eyes.  Senior Jia asked in confusion: "Teacher, what do you mean by this?" "Zhang Xinghan has attracted so much love and affection to you. Once it comes to the committee, the committee will be suspicious. What do you think the committee will think?" Wang Yaowu lowered his voice.  road.  Zhang Lingfu, perhaps a little dizzy, said without hesitation: "Lingfu is loyal to me, and I can tell you from the sun and the moon, so I won't misunderstand you. Sir, Zhang Xinghan is also an outstanding person in this world, and I cherish his heart."  , There is no second intention!" "Oh, I hope so, you'd better do it yourself." Seeing this, Wang Yaowu could only sigh helplessly.  ……………… Two days later, Liu Guodong, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen, and Yang Aiyuan led the Northeast Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army coalition, a total of more than 200,000 troops, arrived at Tianjingguan. The Northeast Army and Shanxi Army gathered in southern Shanxi.  The Sui army has exceeded 250,000 people.  In the past two days, Liu Jianguo was ordered to lead his troops to capture Jiyuan, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang and many other counties north of the Yellow River.  < br> Zhongyang’s army retreated to the south of the Yellow River.  After the army rested at Tianjingguan for a day, Zhang Xinghan held a swearing-in meeting on the spot, and then left Sun Chu to command 10,000 Jinsui Army and 10,000 Northeastern Army.Protect Jincheng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places.  More than 30,000 central yang army prisoners were also temporarily dispersed and taken to various cities for separate custody. As a precaution, the Secret Bureau's branches in southern Shanxi sent agents to assist the local garrison in custody.  With Commander Shang Zhen leading 5,000 Shanxi-Sui Army and 5,000 Northeastern Army as the vanguard, the economic resources went south, preparing to cross the river to attack Luoyang.  Zhang Xinghan, Liu Guodong, Zhang Tingshu, Shen Ke, Xu Yongchang, Yang Aiyuan and other high-level generals and officers led the army to follow up.  At the same time, he moved his headquarters to Jiyuan County.  After entering Jiyuan, Zhang Xinghan ordered Liu Jianguo to lead three divisions eastward to Dezhou, join forces left behind in Dezhou, Liaocheng and other places, and prepare to attack Shandong to contain Han Fuqu's troops.  Coordinate the main force of the Northeast Army to attack the Central Plains.  Since the Yellow River Railway Bridge had been blown up previously, Zhang Xinghan ordered the navy to dispatch transport ships up the Yellow River.  "But the water level of the Yellow River was low, large ships could not enter, and small ships were unusable, so we had to give up.  In the end, Zhang Xinghan mobilized the bridging tank units attached to the tank regiments directly under each division of the 3rd Army to form a bridging tank cluster.  At the gap in the damaged Yellow River railway bridge section, bridge erecting tanks were used to re-dredge the railway bridge.  Immediately, Shang Zhen led 10,000 forward troops to cross the Yellow River in a mighty manner.  Due to the annihilation of the 4th, 25th and 51st divisions, Hu Zongnan was seriously short of troops. After all, the area he wanted to garrison included Xi'an and the huge Henan Province.  In addition, the Northeastern Shanxi-Suiyuan coalition forces had strong fire support from the air force, and Shang Zhen's forward troops were able to easily defeat Mengjin.  It opened up a bridgehead for the main forces to march into the Central Plains.  The situation has developed to this point. Chairman Chiang left Hu Zongnan in the south to guard the major large, medium and small cities along the Yellow River. He did not expect that Hu Zongnan could really hold back the Northeastern Army on the north bank of the Yellow River and protect the Central Plains from danger.  The only requirement is that he can hold on as long as possible, delay the advance of the Northeast Army, and slow down the fall of the Central Plains.  To buy more time for the main force of the Central Yang Army and the main force of the Guangxi Clan to return to the south of the Yangtze River to build a defense line.  But when the two to three hundred thousand combined troops of the Northeastern Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army really made a move to move southward.  The Central Plains garrison generals, including Hu Zongnan himself, were all panicked, and large-scale retreats occurred in important places along the river such as Kaifeng, Luoyang, Zheng County (Zhengzhou) Lankao, etc.  These retreating people were not the defenders, but the families of officials, their concubines, and the wealth and wealth they had plundered, along with huge amounts of ill-gotten wealth.  For a time, on official roads across the Central Plains, carriages and cars were crowded southward, and scenes of people turning their backs on their horses occurred everywhere.  The officers were busy moving and escaping, so ordinary Japanese soldiers had no sense of fighting.  “Moreover, these officials deduct military pay at every level on weekdays. The majority of grassroots officers and soldiers have long been complaining and suffering unspeakably.  Agents from the Northeast Army Secret Bureau lurking in various places reported the situation to Zhang Xinghan in a timely manner.  Zhang Xinghan asked Shen Xingye to instruct the agents to take the opportunity to instigate trouble, so as to cause as much chaos as possible to the central government defenders in various places.  On the other hand, he ordered Liu Guodong, Xu Yongchang, Shang Zhen and others to lead their troops to speed up the march.  In less than half a month, the coalition forces were overwhelming and captured Luoyang, Zhengxian, Kaifeng and other important places in the Central Plains one after another.  When the Northeastern Army approached the city, most of the defenders surrendered without a fight. Their officers had already fled in advance. In addition, the agents had been publicizing the policies and treatment of the Northeastern Army these days.  Therefore, when the tanks and chariots of the Northeast Army arrived, they surrendered one after another.  The battle to cross the river progressed more smoothly than anyone imagined. The natural danger of the Yellow River, which Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi had high hopes for, did not even play a single role.  Seventeen days later, Zhang Tingshu and Shang Zhen led their troops to capture Lankao City.  Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered them to lead his troops eastward to Shangqiu and prepare to attack Shandong.  In the past half a month, Liu Jianguo led three divisions of more than 50,000 troops to cross the Yellow River from Dong'e County and Qihe County respectively.  The troops attacked Jinan in two directions. Han Fuqu led his troops to fight to the death, but was defeated miserably by Liu Jianguo, who had absolute superiority in land and air force.  In just one week, Liu Jianguo captured Jinan City, and Han Fuqu fled south in a hurry.  After conquering Jinan City, Liu Jianguo obeyed Zhang Xinghan's order and divided his forces to capture Zibo, Tai'an and other important places in northern Shandong.  After succeeding, he marched west from Tai'an to Heze and other places, preparing to join the friendly forces attacking the Central Plains.  At the same time, we marched towards Jining, Laiwu and other places, preparing to attack Xuzhou.  &nbsp;……………… In the city of Nanjing, within half a month, the situation in the Central Plains and Shandong Province had undergone earth-shaking changes.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is furious in the meeting room of the Military Commission.  "Mother Xipi, what on earth does Hu Zongnan, that bastard, do for a living? He lost several strategic places in a row within half a month. He still has 60,000 to 70,000 horses under his command. That's 60,000 to 70,000 pigs for Zhang Xinghan to chop down.  , Can’t they kill them all in half a month?” Chairman Chiang was furious, and all the senior generals of the central army who were present at the meeting were silent. No one dared to intercede for Hu Zongnan at this time. After all, his performance in this battle was too poor.  Unexpectedly, after Chairman Chiang cursed him, he changed the subject and said: "Han Fuqu also fought like a loser in Shandong. An army of hundreds of thousands, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River, unexpectedly lost Jinan and Tai'an in succession within half a month.  Waiting for a military important place, causing the Yellow River and Mount Tai natural dangers to be described as false, this is simply a stupid command!" (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 484: The Situation in Shandong Sudden Changes

    Fortunately, those present at the meeting were all senior officers of the Central Army, disciples and disciples of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and close generals.  "Otherwise, once these words reach Han Fuqu's ears, he will probably be so angry that he will lead his troops to surrender to Zhang Xinghan.  It was precisely because of this that Chairman Chiang dared to become furious and criticize Han Fuqu.  After his anger subsided, Bai Chongxi stood up and persuaded: "Committee, although Han Fuqu's command was not good, he should be responsible for the loss of the Yellow River. He is fully responsible for the fall of Jinan, Tai'an and other important towns. But the current situation is critical, and Han himself is also in Shandong.  There are still tens of thousands of troops under his command, occupying most of the areas in central and southern Shandong. If he is held accountable at this time, he may be forced to jump over the wall and rebel. " "Chief Bai is right," Chen Cheng stood up and said.  I think we should call Han Fuqu to come to Nanjing before questioning. "There is no need to summon Han Fuqu to Nanjing. At this juncture, let's not say whether he will come. Even if he comes, we cannot just hold him personally responsible."  Han Fuqu was not the only one who lost the natural dangers and strategic locations of the Yellow River. "It was Wang Zhaoming, the president of the Executive Yuan, who said this.  The implication of his words is obvious. If you want to punish Han Fuqu, you must first punish Hu Zongnan, who also lost the natural danger of the Yellow River and opened the door to the Central Plains.  Wang Jingwei had an old relationship with Han Fuqu. In his early years, he failed in his struggle for power with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and resigned. He once fled to Qingdao, Shandong Province, and Han Fuqu provided him with a villa and money.  So the relationship between the two is still good.  "In addition, we can take this opportunity to attack Hu Zongnan, a direct general of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, so why not do it.  Chairman Chiang glared at Wang Jingwei, who was sitting on his lower right, with hatred and anger, and said: "Hu Zongnan failed to supervise the war, so he was dismissed as commander of the First Army and various positions he held, and he will go to Nanjing to accept punishment." In the end, Commissioner Chiang finally  For the sake of the overall situation, the commander still failed to punish Han Fuqu as he wished, because Shandong's defense line still needed him to maintain it for the time being.  Wang Jingwei was also afraid that revealing the news to Han Fuqu would cause him to turn against him, so he kept the matter to himself.  … … Dingtao County, where the eastern and western armies of the Northeastern Army finally met.  Zhang Tingshu and Shang Zhen led their troops to continue southward while sending telegrams to Zhang Xinghan reporting their victory.  In Luoyang City, Zhang Xinghan’s headquarters.  The confidential communications officers presented the messages from each unit to Zhang Xinghan one after another.  Looking at the telegram, Zhang Xinghan could not help but nod and applaud from time to time.  Except for the fact that Zhang Tingshu and Shang Zhen's troops advanced eastward and joined forces with the Shandong side, they continued to attack southward.  Liu Guodong, Yang Aiyuan, and Xu Yongchang also each led tens of thousands of troops and horsemen to continue southward in separate routes, with their troops pointing directly at Xuchang, Zhoukou, Pingdingshan and other places.  Along the way, the Central Army and the Henan Local Army fled. The Northeast Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army were in full swing and making rapid progress.  Dozens of large and small county towns from Xuchang to Luoyang and Zheng County were all captured by the Northeastern Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.  Within a few days, Xu Yongchang's troops arrived at the outskirts of Xuchang. The next day, Liu Guodong's troops dispatched a partial division to assist Xu Yongchang's troops in attacking Xuchang.  The entire Xuchang garrison surrendered, and Xu Yongchang's troops captured the important town of Xuchang almost without a fight.  Yang Aiyuan's troops also made very rapid progress. When Xuchang was captured by Xu Yongchang's troops, a vanguard regiment of his troops also reached the outskirts of Zhoukou.  After the siege of the city, when the main force arrived, most of the defenders surrendered, and the important area of ????Zhoukou was captured.  After that, he divided his troops and marched westward, and attacked Luohe with Xu Yongchang's troops from Xuchang.  Two days later, Luohe and Pingdingshan were captured by the Northeast Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army at the same time.  After Liu Guodong captured Pingdingshan, he immediately moved southward non-stop. The three armies advanced together and attacked Nanyang, Zhumadian, Xinyang and other important towns in southern Henan.  In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, in early October, Zhang Xinghan led his troops southward from Cangzhou in late August, and within a month they wiped out Shanxi and Hebei, and captured all of Hebei.  More than twenty days have passed since the troops were sent south to cross the Yellow River. At the same time, the Northeast Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army coalition were galloping across the Central Plains, invincible and achieving brilliant results.  The battlefield in Shandong, which originally seemed calm and smooth, suddenly changed.  At the same time that the three armies of Xu Yongchang, Liu Guodong and Yang Aiyuan went south to attack the Central Plains.  After Liu Jianguo, deputy commander-in-chief of the 1st Group Army, received reinforcements from Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu's troops, he immediately dispatched the entire army and headed south along the Jinpu Railway and Canal.  Within ten days, Zhang Tingshu, Shang Zhen and Liu Jianguo met at the foot of Jining City and surrounded Jining City, an important place in Shandong.  When we were about to attack, we unexpectedly attacked Weifang.They feigned an attack on the ground in order to contain the partial division that attracted the strength of the Shandong Army. They were suddenly attacked by the unidentified "Shandong Army" and were defeated in the Qingzhou area.  A commander of the Northeastern Army who led the team was injured and captured, becoming the highest military official captured since the formation of the Northeastern Army.  The defeated army took advantage of the wheels of the car and managed to escape back to Zibo City. The pursuit troops followed and surrounded Zibo City.  The defenders were weak in strength. While holding on to the city, they urgently sent a telegram to Liu Jianguo asking for help.  In Jining City, Liu Jianguo, Zhang Tingshu, Shang Zhen and other military officers gathered in the joint headquarters to discuss how to attack Jining, which was heavily defended by the Shandong Army.  Jining is the capital of the canal. It is located at the junction of the Huanghuaihai Plain and the mountains of central and southern Shandong, at the junction of the four provinces of Shandong, Suzhou, Henan and Anhui. It is an important transportation hub connecting East China and North China, and the Central Plains and the coast.  The strategic location is extremely important. As far as the current situation in Shandong is concerned, Jining is already the last strategic location that Han Fuqu's Shandong Army needs to defend.  Therefore, almost all the troops that Han Fuqu can currently gather are gathered here.  When the Signal Corps reported to him the intelligence of the eastern division's disastrous defeat in Weifang, Liu Jianguo couldn't believe his ears.  Most of Han Fuqu’s main forces are in the Jining area, and the Weifang area is full of small fish and shrimps. The local security team is vulnerable to combat, and a mechanized reinforced group equipped with American and German weapons will be defeated by a counterattack?     How can this be?  Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu were also shocked. The former mused: "It stands to reason that Han Fuqu's Shandong Army does not have many regular troops in Weifang. Could it be that the Central Army suddenly moved north?" Zhang Tingshu analyzed: "It should be unlikely.  First of all, after Han Fuqu came to power in Shandong, he completely rejected the Central Army. Except for the Central Army stationed in Xuzhou, there were almost no Central Army troops stationed in Shandong. If the Central Army in Xuzhou entered Shandong, it would be impossible in terms of time, regardless of whether Han Fuqu agreed with it.  So fast. "And there is no early warning from the Security Bureau, so this is unlikely." "It's impossible in Xuzhou. What about Qingdao? I remember that the former Northeast Army Navy Shen Honglie was stationed there," Shang Zhen suddenly remembered.  .  ……………… Luoyang, Northeast Army Headquarters.  The armies from all directions are progressing smoothly, and Zhang Xinghan is in a good mood. As long as Xuzhou is captured again, the troops can go south along the Jinpu Line and attack Nanjing.  At the same time, we can also go south from the Central Plains along the Beijing-Hankow Railway to Xinyang to intimidate Wuhan.  By then, there will be no fear that Chairman Chiang will not agree to the peace talks, unless he wants to withdraw from the political stage completely.  Zhang Xinghan was preparing his military uniform and planned to go out to condolences the Central Army who surrendered to the city.  Suddenly, Guo Zhong hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw Zhang Xinghan, he saluted and said: "Chief, we just received the latest information from the Secrecy Bureau. The former Northeast Army and Navy in Qingdao, Shandong have recently been mobilized significantly, and their whereabouts are unknown.  "The Northeast Army and Navy?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly surprised.  "Yes, it is the Northeast Navy headed by Shen Honglie." Guo Zhong nodded: "According to the intelligence sent by the Secrecy Bureau, since the September 18th Incident, most of the Northeast Navy has moved to Qingdao, and is ostensibly under the jurisdiction of the Central Committee of the Civil Affairs.  In fact, Shen Honglie alone had the final say. Shen Honglie had always been loyal to the Zhang family. After Pingjin was occupied by our army, Yu Xuezhong and other Zhang family generals fled to Qingdao. Zhang Xueliang also arrived in Qingdao after returning from Europe.  In the past few years, Shen Honglie, in the name of the Commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy, has been recruiting troops in the Jiaodong Peninsula. Based on the main force of the navy, the force has established a number of marine forces that cannot be underestimated. Moreover, Zhang Xueliang is also there.  He was appointed as the mayor of Qingdao by the National Government two years ago. "Zhang Xinghan has been busy fighting against Japan, and he really didn't take the Northeast Navy seriously.  In addition, Qingdao previously belonged to the sphere of influence of Shandong Han Fuqu and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, so Zhang Xinghan had no time to take care of it.  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan waved his hands indifferently and said: "No matter how hard you try, it will never work. To generate electricity for Jianguo, order your troops to be extra careful when marching eastward. After Jining is captured, we will concentrate our forces to attack Qingdao. By then,  , I will mobilize the navy and air force to cooperate, and the war in Jining should be focused at the moment." Guo Zhong nodded, and just about to turn around and leave, he found a communications soldier running over quickly, and when he saw Guo Zhong, he came face to face.  He said: "Sir Guo, there is an urgent call from Jining." "Oh? Give it to me quickly." Guo Zhong reached out to take the telegram, read it hastily, his face changed greatly, and he immediately turned to Zhang Xinghan and reported: "General Manager, it's not good, Liu JianguoA call came in. Our army's partial division attacking Weifang encountered an unknown armed attack in Weifang. The leader of the regiment was injured and captured, and more than two-thirds of the troops were lost.  Now that they have retreated to Zibo, the Shandong Army and the unknown armed forces are following closely, and the attack is urgent.  "    "What?  Zhang Xinghan was startled at first, then slapped his thigh and said: "What unknown armed forces? These must be Zhang Xiaoliu's men who are entrenched in Qingdao!"  " Zhang Xinghan knew about Zhang Xueliang's arrival in Qingdao, and the Secrecy Bureau had reported it before. " Unexpectedly, after more than two years, this Shaoshuai Zhang, who only smoked cigarettes and played with women, showed signs of resurgence?  It was really beyond Zhang Xinghan’s expectation. Zhang Xinghan still didn’t think that with his appearance of cowardice during the September 18th Incident, he still had such means and ability. Without thinking too much, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong: “It seems like Shandong?  The situation is not as smooth as imagined. It is much more complicated. You can make arrangements immediately and we will rush to Shandong immediately.  In addition, he called Jianguo back and handed over the siege of Jining to Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu. He immediately led his capable troops to rush to Zibo City. Zhang Xiaoliu wanted to attack Jinan and cut off the retreat of my troops attacking Lu!  "

    Jining City, joint headquarters of the Northeast Army and Shanxi-Sui Army.  . After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s call back order, Liu Jianguo began to assemble his troops.  Time was tight and there was no time to mobilize more troops. Moreover, heavy troops had to be left to surround Jining Che. Liu Jianguo only assembled a reinforcement regiment.  Then he said goodbye to Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu.  "Brother Qiyu and brother Weijiu, the responsibility of besieging Jining will be left to you. Take care!" Liu Jianguo saluted Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu.  “Brother Jianguo, take care and be careful along the way!” The two of them returned the military salute.  They then joined forces to escort Liu Jianguo out of the military camp before turning back.  Liu Jianguo led his troops from Jining to the north, returned to Tai'an via Yanzhou and Qufu, then marched east to Laiwu, and then turned north to Zibo.  The marching distance was close to 500 miles. Fortunately, the reinforced regiment led by Liu Jianguo all traveled on automobile wheels.  Tai'an, Laiwu and other places along the way have been captured by the Northeast Army, so fuel and food were replenished in time along the way.  After a day and night of rapid marching, we finally arrived in time before Zibo City was captured.  As expected by Zhang Xinghan, it was Zhang Xiaoliu's Qingdao Army who attacked and defeated the Northeast Army's eastward advance division in Weifang.  The person responsible for personally leading the team was Xuezhong, a former Northeast Army general, followed by Liu Duoquan and others.  Since Weifang unexpectedly defeated the Northeast Army, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others led their troops to join Han Fuqu's Shandong Army Weifang garrison.  A total of more than 20,000 people quickly pursued Zibo and immediately launched a fierce attack.  The defeated Northeastern Army in Zibo clung to the city and defended the city. At the same time, Zhang Xinghan sent a telegram to the troops staying in Jinan to send a battalion to support the Zibo defenders.  The defenders fought bloody battles, and with the help of fierce firepower from their own air force, they were able to hold on until Liu Jianguo's more than 4,000 reinforcements arrived.  Liu Jianguo’s reinforced regiment is an A-type infantry regiment with an additional tank battalion, with a total strength of more than 4,200 people.  After arriving at Zibo, Liu Jianguo immediately launched an attack from the south gate of Zibo with two tank battalions as the forward.  More than 100 remnants of the garrison at the south gate of the city also took advantage of the situation and rushed out, cooperating inside and outside to bring Liu Jianguo's reinforcements into the city.  Ten miles east of the city, there is a small temple at the foot of a mountain, which has now become the headquarters of the joint counterattack force of the Shandong Army and Qingdao Army.  After Zhang Xueliang and Shen Honglie won the Weifang surprise attack, they reached an agreement with Han Fuqu via telegram.  All Shandong Army units east of Tai'an will be united with the Qingdao Army, with Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan as deputy commanders-in-chief.  ??Jointly launch a counterattack against the Northeastern Army, attack Zibo, and intimidate Jinan to threaten the Northeastern Army's retreat and relieve the pressure on the Shandong Army on the Jining battlefield.  In the headquarters, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and a large group of staff gathered around the map to discuss the battle plan.  The tenacity of the Zibo defenders far exceeded the expectations of generals such as Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan.  They believed that the Northeast Army during this period was much stronger than when they were in the Northeast.  This strength is not only in the weapons and equipment, but also in the tenacity of the combat consciousness.  You must know that the Zibo defenders retreated from the disastrous defeat on the Weifang battlefield. They retreated to Zibo City in a hurry, and their troops and morale were in a disadvantageous situation.  But the defenders in the city were not as vulnerable as Yu Xuezhong and others had expected, and collapsed at the first touch.  Instead, relying on the strong city and the counterattack coalition forces, they launched a fierce and bloody battle.  ??Even some army officers who participated in the battle reported that the defenders in the city were insufficient in strength, and even the cooks and stretcher bearers drew their weapons and joined the defensive battle.  Not to mention the injured soldiers of the Northeast Army who refused to retreat, showing an extremely tenacious fighting spirit.  Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong were troubled by this and were discussing whether to take the risk of sending troops to bypass Zibo and directly attack Jinan to recapture this important place in northern Shandong.  While everyone was having a heated discussion, a communications soldier walked in quickly from outside with a message.  He saluted Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others and reported: "Sir, it's not good. The Shandong Army that just besieged the south of the city reported that a reinforcement force from the Northeast Army suddenly arrived. With the support of the south gate defenders, they entered the city.  "What? How many reinforcements are there from the Northeast Army?" Liu Duoquan and others asked in surprise.  "There should be no less than five thousand people, as well as a large number of tanks and chariots." The communications soldier replied tremblingly.  Five thousand people and a large number of tanks and chariots?  !  Liu Duoquan, Yu Xuezhong and others couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. The latter even said: "The Northeastern Army came too fast. According to the intelligence, their main force is in Jining, five hundred miles away.  The battlefield? Why did you rush there in just one day and one night?As far as Zibo, the marching speed was too terrifying.  Liu Duoquan said: "It is said that Zhang Xinghan's troops are fully equipped with automobile wheels and can march 250 kilometers a day and a night. It is not impossible to march urgently."  " "Then what should we do next?  There are only less than one regiment of remnant soldiers in the city, and we are still unable to conquer it. Now that we have two more B regiments, if we try to capture Zibo again, it will take a long time, and our own losses will not be small.  "Yu Xuezhong said worriedly. Liu Duoquan also said with a sad face: "How about we suspend the attack and ask the young commander for instructions, what should we do?  ” Yu Xuezhong didn’t have any good ideas, so he nodded in agreement. ………… Qingdao, the Marshal’s Mansion. This Marshal’s Mansion was built with funds after Zhang Xiaoliu returned to Qingdao two years ago. Compared with the original  The Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang is magnificent and generous. This shows how rich the famous non-resisting general Zhang Marshal is. The huge wealth he has amassed after being in charge of the Northeast for many years is enough for him and his descendants to enjoy.  A few lifetimes have been spent. The current Young Marshal's Mansion has been completed, and Marshal Zhang and Miss Zhao Si are living in it, enjoying themselves every night. However, Zhang Xiaoliu is more diligent during the day since arriving in Qingdao than before.  In order to make a comeback, with the vigorous support of Shen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong and other subordinates, he recruited troops in Qingdao and expanded his troops to more than 30,000 people in just over two years.  The army under the Marine Corps and Shen Honglie's navy have also developed greatly. The number has increased from three to four thousand to tens of thousands. Naturally, a small Qingdao cannot support the army and navy of 40,000 or 50,000. It turns out that Zhang Xueliang.  During his visit to Europe, he received support from the Western powers, intending to help them restore their military strength and prepare to win over the Central Plains and East China to protect the interests of the Western powers in the above-mentioned areas. However, what he did not expect was that it had been just over two years since he returned from abroad.  At that time, Zhang Xinghan developed faster than him. Not only did he develop a navy, he even annihilated the main force of the Japanese naval combined fleet, which was known as the first in Asia and the third in the world.  The first national hero to separatize and occupy Japanese territory. I thought that Zhang Xinghan had no intention of looking south and would continue to send troops eastward to destroy Japan after capturing Kyushu Island. But he did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would make Zhang Xiaoliu.  The hateful bastard mobilized his army south to attack North China in a blink of an eye. Now he has crossed the Yellow River and invaded the Central Plains and East China. His troops are advancing at an alarming rate, which has completely threatened Zhang Xiaoliu's survival in the Jiaodong Peninsula.  When Taishan had just been lost, he summoned Shen Honglie, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and other loyalists to discuss joining the war. Only then did Liu Jianguo's partial division defeat Weifang. Zhang Xiaoliu's move successfully alleviated the incident.  Under the pressure of Han Fuqu's troops, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and others took advantage of the situation to pursue Zibo and were about to fight to Jinan. Zhang Xiaoliu was very happy that the battle was progressing smoothly, especially when Han Fuqu and Jiang Baldou were fighting.  Even though he was defeated in a row, Zhang Xiaoliu succeeded in counterattacking with less than one man and won a local war. He was proud of himself. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoliu also had a lack of intelligence system. He still didn't know that Hu Zongnan had been lost.  Most of the Central Plains, strategically, Shandong was almost surrounded by the Northeast Army. On this day, Marshal Zhang, Shen Honglie and others gathered in a conference room in the Qingdao Mayor's Office Building as usual.  This place has long since been changed to the general headquarters of the Qingdao Army. They listen to reports from the front line and study countermeasures here every day.  In the conference room, Shen Honglie had already raised concerns about Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan's failure to attack Zibo for a long time.  However, Marshal Zhang waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "Chengzhang, don't worry too much. Although Zibo City is not a barrier to Jinan, the defenders are weak and they were newly defeated by Weifang. I have already telegraphed the order to Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan.  Strengthen the attack, it is expected that it will be launched soon." As soon as Marshal Zhang finished speaking, the adjutant Chen Dazhang came in with a panic and saluted him: "Young Marshal, Yu Xuezhong called, the rebels (Zhang has always been the Northeast Army orthodoxy)  They regard Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army as a rebel force). Five thousand new reinforcements have arrived in Zibo. The reinforcements carry a large number of tanks and chariots and are powerful. Our army may not be able to capture Zibo in a short time. Yu Xuezhong and Liu.  Duochuan two commanders, ask for instructions whether to stop the attack, return to Weifang, and make plans again.  " Marshal Zhang, who had an easy victory just now, his smile froze on the spot, and his face gradually turned pale. When Shen Honglie on the side saw this, he persuaded: "Young Marshal, according to the news received some time ago, Yan Xishan has led all the Shanxi-Sui army to surrender.  It is expected that there will be no fighting north of the Yellow River. Zhang Xinghan's rebels will march south to the Central Plains soon. It is not known whether Hu Zongnan can resist them.  Han Fuqu defeated Jinan and Tai'an and lost more than half of his troops. It is expected that he will not be able to hold on for a long time. Jining will be captured by the rebels sooner or later.  "If we want to hold on to East China and our foothold in Qingdao, the tens of thousands of men and horses in our hands may not be enough.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT OFFICIAL  " ps: It's Monday, OMG, when I looked at the recommendation votes, I didn't even make it to the military list. I felt so cold. Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, please ask for fire support. There will be three updates today.

    Only then did Zhang Xueliang come back to his senses from his trance. He nodded mechanically and said, "Dazhang, please immediately use my name to generate electricity for your brother. The thief Kou Nan invaded East China. My brother and Governor Han are alone. Lubei  The natural dangers of the Yellow River and Mount Tai in the region have been lost to the enemy. "The land of Qilu is in danger, and East China is in danger. Please put the overall situation first and send reinforcements northward. I am willing to lead my soldiers as the vanguard and vow to fight to the death against Zhang Xinghan's bandits and rebels."  , But my brother Mingjian, my brother Hanqing is in urgent need of reinforcements in Qingdao! " Nanjing City, Jiang Gong's official residence.  Guard chief Wang Shihe read Zhang Xueliang's message in front of Chairman Chiang. When he saw Chairman Chiang sitting on the sofa with an unchanged expression, he put the message away and stood aside respectfully.  After a while, Chairman Jiang said in a tired tone: "Shihe, tell Jiansheng and Cixiu to come see me quickly." "Yes, the appointment." Wang Shihe quickly stepped forward and responded,  He quickly took the order and left.  Within half an hour, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng arrived hand in hand.  Chairman Chiang casually asked the two of them to sit down opposite him, and then instructed Wang Shihe to read Zhang Xiaoliu's telegram asking for help to them.  While they were watching, Chairman Chiang said: "Zhang Hanqing called for help. He also won a small victory in Weifang. He has now counterattacked to Zibo, but he has been unable to continue the advance. "Zhang Xinghan has dispatched reinforcements to Zibo, and he may not be able to stop it.  The Northeastern Army continues to move south, so it wants to ask the central government to send troops for reinforcements. What do you think about this?" Bai Chongxi, who had read the message, raised his head first and said: "Commissioner, if the Central Plains is not lost, we can still mobilize reinforcements to go north along the Jinpu Railway?  Although we dare not say that we will definitely be able to defeat the Northeast Army and the Shandong area, we can order Han Fuqu and Zhang Hanqing to shrink their troops and resist continuously, so as to delay the offensive of the Northeast Army. In the end, the enemy and us will start a decisive battle in the area north of Xuzhou.  No matter what happens, we still have enough time to rely on the natural barrier of the Huaihe River to build a defense line and block the mechanized cluster of the Northeastern Army with the water network area of ??the Huaihe River Basin. But now, the Central Plains has been broken through by the Northeastern Army, and two-thirds of the Central Plains have fallen.  With the Yellow River natural barrier no longer in the hands of the Northeastern Army, the Northeastern Army can also divide its forces and advance eastward along the Longhai Line, sweeping through Xuzhou and cutting off the connection between Jiangsu and Shandong, Anhui and other places. Therefore, there is no defense north of the Huaihe River.  There is no need to increase the number of troops going north, because it will be a futile effort and a waste of precious vitality. " Bai Chongxi's words were very suitable for Chairman Jiang, who couldn't help but nodded lightly.  Chen Cheng also observed the words and echoed: "Commissioner, what Brother Jiansheng said is right. Shandong can no longer be defended, and sending troops is in vain. We should still deploy our precious troops in the Huaihe River Basin and the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River as soon as possible for a complete plan."  "As for Han Fuqu and Zhang Hanqing, it is impossible for the committee to reply truthfully. They should pretend to agree and let them continue to persist and delay the Northeast Army's southward march as much as possible. In order to prevent Han Fuqu from rebelling, one or two divisions should also be sent along the Jinpu Railway  Go north, bluffing for reinforcements to appease Han and Zhang," Bai Chongxi said calmly.  “ Little did he know that his seemingly casual words directly sent nearly 100,000 Qingdao and Shandong troops to death.  Chairman Chiang was also slightly surprised by Zhuge's ruthlessness. Fortunately, neither Han Fuqu's Shandong Army nor Zhang Hanqing's Qingdao Army were directly affiliated with Chairman Chiang's confidants.  He doesn’t feel bad even if everyone dies.  Then he nodded in agreement and sent Bai and Chen to work out the plan.  ……………… Qingdao, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  After receiving a somewhat vague response from Chairman Chiang, Marshal Zhang felt a little nervous and said to Shen Honglie: "Chengzhang, judging from the message, Chairman Chiang seems to have a cold attitude towards sending troops north for reinforcements." "Oh?" Shen Honglie  He asked curiously: "Young Marshal, what does the telegram say?" Zhang Xueliang handed the telegram to Shen Honglie. Shen Honglie took it and read it again, and said doubtfully: "Young Marshal, doesn't this telegram clearly say that my brother is here?"  Urgent, I already know that reinforcements will be sent north by train. Do you want us to try our best to wait for reinforcements? " "However, he later advised me to leave Qingdao and go to Nanjing at the right time. I'm worried.  This sentence has a deeper meaning." Zhang Xueliang analyzed that he has been dealing with his sworn brother for more than a day or two.  "What the young marshal means is that Chairman Chiang plans to let go of??Shandong?  Shen Honglie asked with a change of expression. Zhang Xueliang mused thoughtfully: "It's hard to say. Yan Xishan switched sides, and the entire north of the Yellow River became Zhang Xinghan's world. The power was even worse than what we had before."  Now we don’t know what the situation will be like on the battlefield in the Central Plains. Han Fuqu is unable to resist the rebel attack in Shandong. Things are unpredictable.  " After saying that, Marshal Zhang told his adjutant Chen Dazhang: "Dazhang, please immediately arrange for someone to find out if there are any latest changes in the Central Plains.  " Chen Dazhang saluted with a military salute, turned around and took orders to leave. Shen Honglie asked: "Young Marshal, will our army continue to besiege Zibo?  " "The situation is unclear. As a precaution, we sent electricity to Yu Xuezhong to stop the siege, and then retreated to Weifang. We sent more reconnaissance troops to keep in touch with us at any time to ensure that we are safe!  "Zhang Xueliang made a rare and correct decision. …………… In Zibo City, the gunpowder smoke has not completely dissipated, and the air is filled with the pungent smell. Liu Jianguo, with a team of guards, is patrolling the city. Leading his troops  After successfully entering the city, the reinforcements quickly took over the defense of the four gates. Because the enemy was stronger and we were weaker, the defenders fought extremely fiercely. More than one-third of the more than 3,000 people who participated in the defense were killed or injured.  2. During the inspection, the bodies of fallen soldiers could be seen everywhere, and some civilians and reinforcements were busy collecting them. Not long after, Liu Jianguo walked along the devastated streets to the wartime hospital, which was transformed from a restaurant.  Because there were too many wounded soldiers, the huge hospital was overcrowded. Many soldiers with minor injuries even lined up at the gate and some corridors. Seeing Liu Jianguo striding forward with General Xing on his shoulders, the sharp-eyed wounded soldiers saw him.  , immediately called his companions to stand up and salute to greet them. Most of these wounded soldiers were affiliated with the First Army of the Northeast Army, and the First Army was the army that inherited the most from the Seventh Brigade of the Army founded by Zhang Xinghan. Some of the middle-level backbones were.  They are veterans who have come out of the reading force division. They have inherited the tenacious combat style and iron-blooded consciousness of the original reading force division. They have already regarded Zhang Xinghan as their spiritual leader and the support of their soul and willpower. Seeing the arrival of their old acquaintance and old boss Liu Jianguo.  , some wounded soldiers shed tears with excitement and guilt. A lieutenant colonel officer with bandages all over his head, legs and arms saluted Liu Jianguo with tears in his eyes: "Sir, we are incompetent, we are eating in Weifang."  If we lose the battle, it will be an embarrassment to our old army and the commander-in-chief!  "Liu Jianguo looked at the iron-clad man in front of him. His body was covered with scars. The white gauze had been penetrated by blood and turned red quickly. He was moved in his heart and patted his shoulder gently. He said sincerely: "Brother, you didn't.  It is an embarrassment to the veteran troops, and it is not an embarrassment to the commander-in-chief. You are all good. With less than a regiment of troops, you forced the 20,000 Shandong Army to attack fiercely for nearly two days and two nights.  You are all tough men. The Commander-in-Chief and I are both proud of you. The Commander-in-Chief asked me in his message to express his condolences to you on his behalf.  "You will always be the most capable elites of our Northeastern Army."  Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. In the battle of Weifang, we suffered a small loss. When the general manager comes in two days, he will definitely lead us to win back tenfold and a hundredfold.  " The lieutenant colonel officer and the wounded soldiers were moved and said in shock: "Sir, you just said that the commander-in-chief is coming too?  " "Yes, he is on his way here now. He will be here in two or three days at most. You all need to take good care of your injuries and wait until the commander-in-chief arrives, so that you can continue to charge with him and avenge your shame!"  "Liu Jianguo nodded. "Yes, sir, please rest assured, we will take good care of our injuries. No, we are not injured. As long as you and the commander-in-chief give the order, we can still rush to the line of fire and fight to the end with those Shandong troops!  "The lieutenant colonel officer's eyes filled with excitement, and his voice choked up for a time. The wounded soldiers around him all echoed, their morale was high, and the crowd was excited. The psychological impact of their defeat in the Battle of Weifang was instantly wiped away.  In fact, the spirit of this army had already been forged in the Northeast. The reason why these soldiers who fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives were able to quickly form a defense line in Zibo after Weifang's defeat and fight to the death was because of the God of War in their hearts.  It is supporting and urging them to fight to the end rather than surrender, because in their minds, as long as they think of Zhang Xinghan, as long as they think of the commander-in-chief who they respect like a god, they must not be cowards or embarrass the commander-in-chief, otherwise they are not worthy of being the commander-in-chief.  &nbsp; It is these beliefs and thoughts that enable them to maintain high morale and combat awareness in the desperate situation of being outnumbered and surrounded by enemies. They can persist until Liu Jianguo's victory by relying on weapons and equipment and superior firepower that are much more advanced than the enemy.  Reinforcements arrive.  …………… After nearly five days of rapid march, Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion to finally arrive in Zibo.  In the past five days, on the Central Plains battlefield, the three armies of Liu Guodong, Yang Aiyuan and Xu Yongchang have made new progress and have already attacked Xinyang City.  The entire Central Plains region has basically fallen into the hands of the Northeast Army.  The only thing that has not progressed is the Shandong war situation. On the Jining battlefield, Han Fuqu's Shandong Army is still resisting stubbornly.  However, there have been some changes on the Zibo battlefield. The besieging Qingdao army has stopped attacking four days ago and withdrew to Weifang.  Zhang Xinghan got this information through the radio on the way here.  (To be continued.)

    Accompanied by Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others, Zhang Xinghan secretly entered Zibo City and went directly to Liu Jianguo's headquarters in the city.  .??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”?”  : "Four days ago, the enemy troops besieging Zibo have retreated to the Weifang area. I have reported this to you before. In the past few days, I have sent out many reconnaissance troops. With the cooperation of the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft,  As of now, this enemy force is still stationed in the Weifang area and there is no movement." "Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded, staring at the map and lost in thought.  Not long after, Zhang Xinghan got the idea, took a picture of the map and said, "How many total troops do we have in Jining now?" "Including the division brought by General Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu, the original strength is 30,000 people.  Later, he brought more than 4,000 people to Zibo to help Zibo. Now there should be one Class A division with more than 20,000 troops. "After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan said: "Han Fuqu and Zhang Xiaoliu are nothing to worry about.  In the past two years, I have not known that development has been like a miracle. I decided to solve Qingdao first and then go south. In this way, you immediately send power to Shang Zhen and Zhang Tingshu, leaving 15,000 people for Shang Zhen to continue stationed outside Jining City. Han Fuqu has been captured.  He was afraid of the enemy and would not dare to go out of the city to fight. Zhang Tingshu immediately marched east from Jining to Linyi. After capturing Linyi, he quickly moved north and attacked Qingdao. In this way, the enemy army in Weifang will definitely come back to rescue Qingdao.  Then take advantage of the situation to attack, surround Qingdao and capture it." After listening to Zhang Xinghan's deployment, Liu Jianguo couldn't help nodding and praising: "The commander-in-chief is wise, our army will win, but there is one thing that I think we need to be more careful about, and that is Qingdao's Shen Honglie.  The Ministry also has a number of naval ships. Although their strength cannot be compared with our Northeast Navy, they are still thousands of well-trained navy. If they can be used for their own purposes, it will be a good thing for us who are in short supply of professional naval personnel.  "Well, you reminded me, I almost forgot about it." Zhang Xinghan nodded in thought, then paused and said: "Let's send electricity to the navy and immediately dispatch two destroyers and one battleship.  The submarine is heading to the waters of the Jiaodong Peninsula. If there are naval ships in Qingdao port trying to escape south, they will be intercepted without sinking them. It is best to force them back and wait for the resolution of the war in Qingdao. " "Yes.  He quickly stood up and responded.  That afternoon, Zhang Xinghan ordered Liu Jianguo to summon troops and prepare to lead his troops to advance toward Weifang to attract the attention of the Weifang garrison and Qingdao.  Cover Zhang Tingshu's detour actions.  Zhang Xinghan brought his personal guard battalion and Wang Longxiang’s airborne brigade, the two most elite ace units of the Northeast Army.  Including the more than 4,000 people brought by Liu Jianguo and the surviving defenders who originally defended Zibo, the total force was close to 7,000.  Compared with the enemy forces in Weifang, although their strength was still at a disadvantage, Zhang Xinghan was confident enough to defeat Zhang Xiaoliu's 20,000 troops in a field battle.  This self-confidence not only comes from its outstanding command ability, but also mainly from the fact that it has its own air force and tank troops, two big weapons that the Qingdao Army cannot resist.  Aces like the Guard Battalion and Airborne Brigade are absolutely elite troops that can block ten with one.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan decided to personally lead his troops to attack Weifang.  Except for some necessary vigilance to maintain law and order in the city, nearly all the nearly 7,000 soldiers were basically gathered in a wide open space outside the city.  A military command platform was set up at the base of the city wall near the city gate. Below the military command platform, seven thousand soldiers were crowded in black. As far as the eye could see, they were all a blue ocean composed of steel helmets, with sharp handles.  The bayonet reflected a chilling light in the sunlight.  The scene was completely silent, the pin drop of silence could be heard, and an invisible chilling air filled the air.  This is an elite division that has experienced hundreds of battles, an iron-blooded division built with military soul.  Those officers and soldiers, whose arms, legs and feet were still wrapped in bloody gauze, endured severe pain to stand upright like other companions, with steel guns equipped with bayonets at the same standard height.  It can be seen that they are strictly disciplined and well-trained.  In fact, the soldiers were very excited because they knew that the commander-in-chief whom they admired and respected the most would come back to give them pre-battle instructions.  After the soldiers waited with excitement for about 20 minutes, a group of tall, well-armed soldiers came out lookingSoldiers from the desert filed out of the city gate, and soon the guards were deployed around the military point platform.  Guard the entire military point platform watertightly.  From the MP38 submachine guns they were all equipped with, the soldiers in the audience understood that they were a group of guards. Knowing that the commander-in-chief was coming, they couldn't help but get excited.  Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Zhang Xinghan, surrounded by a group of officers and staff guards such as Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong, Wang Longxiang, etc., to come out of the city gate and strode towards the military command platform.  When Zhang Xinghan walked onto the stage, the eyes of thousands of officers and soldiers in the audience immediately fell on him.  Although the soldiers remained silent, the enthusiastic eyes of admiration already showed their mood at the moment.  Zhang Xinghan took a simple loudspeaker from Guo Zhong and said loudly: "Brothers, since you went south to fight, you have been brave and fearless. You have fought successively and made great military exploits, creating an invincible reputation for our Northeastern Army. We  I am proud of you. A few days ago, some of you were defeated in Weifang. There is nothing shameful about it. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The subsequent bloody battle in Zibo has once again proved that you are the invincible and invincible elite. It is me.  The resounding ace unit of the Northeast Army. You are a group of the best soldiers. Whoever leads you to defeat is due to the commander's incompetence and has nothing to do with you. Of course, defeating is not a glorious thing. As a soldier,  It is especially humiliating to be defeated by a weak opponent. As the ancients said, be brave after knowing your shame! If you want to avenge the death of Pao Ze and wash away the shame of the previous defeat, then give me 120,000 points.  Come and follow me to fight in Weifang again. Tell me, are you confident that you can avenge your shame?" Thousands of soldiers were already blushing and shouting in unison: "Yes!"  "Very good!" Zhang Xinghan said: "I believe some of you already know that the one who attacked you on the Weifang battlefield was none other than our old rival, the Qingdao Army formed by Marshal Zhang who colluded with the Japanese to deal with us. " Marshal Zhang  It was my subordinate Zhang who was defeated. He had hundreds of thousands of troops who fled without fighting, causing tens of millions of people in the four northeastern provinces to become subjugated slaves. And his soldiers were also defeated by your subordinates. The battle outside the customs back then.  It has been proven! This time, let us teach these defeated generals a lesson and tell them what a real elite force is!” “Long live the Commander-in-Chief,” some soldiers in the audience said emotionally as they recalled the past.  I couldn't help but take the lead in shouting with excitement.  Thousands of soldiers followed and shouted in unison, and the huge sound almost broke through the sky.  This group of highly motivated elites set off in this way.  Zhang Xinghan left a thousand men behind, and there were many wounded soldiers among these thousand, but they showed strong willpower, indicating that they were capable of the important task of staying behind.  ………… Weifang City, Qingdao Army Headquarters.  Liu Duoquan hurriedly walked into the war room and said urgently to Yu Xuezhong, who was meditating in front of the map: "Brother Xiaohou, we just received a report from the reconnaissance force. The Northeast rebels stationed in Zibo suddenly left the city and came to Weifang.  "It seems that they are planning to attack our army in Weifang." "What? You said that the Northeast rebels took the initiative?" Yu Xuezhong turned around in surprise.  Liu Duoquan nodded and said: "Yes, what should we do? Should we continue to hold on and wait for work, or take the initiative, or ambush halfway to attack the arrogance of these rebels." Yu Xuezhong frowned in doubt.  He said: "The total strength of the rebels is only more than 5,000. They still have to stay in Zibo. How dare they take the initiative to attack with this small number of troops?" Liu Duoquan said angrily: "Whatever, these rebels don't know their own strength.  We will take the initiative to destroy them and occupy Zibo! " "There must be monsters if something goes wrong. This is so strange. Besides, the young commander has called us several times to strictly order us to garrison Weifang and not to give orders or act rashly."  "The general will not accept your orders. Our army has more than 20,000 people. How can we not defeat those thousands of rebels?" Liu Duoquan said impatiently.  "Don't underestimate it. Brother Liu, have you forgotten that these thousands of rebel reinforcements are equipped with many tanks and chariots. If we attack rashly, we will be unable to resist these tanks and chariots. If we are not careful, we may be killed."  Lost the battle." Yu Xuezhong said cautiously.  "Brother Xiaohou, how can we fight if you are so afraid of wolves and tigers?" Liu Duoquan was young and energetic, and he immediatelyFull.  Yu Xuezhong said sincerely: "Brother Liu, it's not that Yu is too cowardly, it's really that we can't afford to lose now. Now we have less than 50,000 troops in total. If something goes wrong, the young marshal's hard work in the past two years  It’s all going to be in vain. So being cautious is the safest thing to do in a situation of desperation!” Seeing the two of them gradually showing signs of quarreling, a staff officer cautiously advised: “Sir, why don’t you report this matter to the young master immediately?  "Shuai, please let the young marshal decide. Isn't it safest for us to act according to the order?" The two looked at each other and could only nod in agreement.

    In the past five days, Marshal Zhang had trouble sleeping and eating because the intelligence personnel had not yet reported back the situation in the Central Plains.  . It turns out that when he was in charge of Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang also had his own secret department responsible for collecting intelligence.  People are spread all over the country, especially in the areas north of the Yangtze River, and they basically have the eyes and ears of their Northeastern Army.  "However, due to the loss of Northeast China and the loss of strong financial backing, all the original departments have disappeared, and most of the contacts with the intelligence agencies in various places have been lost.  Now it is much more difficult to obtain some information.  Being bored, Shaoshuai Zhang stood up and took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer.  He walked to the window and started puffing away smoke. After a while, the office was filled with smoke.  Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. Zhang Xueliang turned and looked towards the door, and saw the adjutant Chen Dazhang walking from the corridor.  "Young Marshal, there's an urgent call from Weifang." Chen Dazhang saluted at the door.  "Oh? What's the matter?" Zhang Shaoshuai asked nervously.  "The rebels in Zibo suddenly left the city and went south, taking the initiative to attack Weifang. General Yu Xuezhong asked for instructions on what to do. Should they continue to hold on to Weifang, or take the initiative to fight." "Zibo defenders? Didn't I say before that they had less than  Five thousand people? You dare to take the initiative with this small force?" Marshal Zhang just wanted to tell Chen Dazhang to call Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan and order them to attack immediately to defeat this arrogant and reckless rebel army.  After a while, there was another rush of footsteps in the corridor outside.  Chen Dazhang turned around instinctively and saw a communications soldier walking quickly with a panicked expression.  "What happened?" Chen Dazhang asked.  The communications soldier handed him a telegram and said: "Urgent message from Central Plains." Chen Dazhang's pupils tightened and he did not dare to neglect. He quickly took it and turned around and handed it to Zhang Xueliang.  "Young Marshal, there is an urgent message from the Central Plains." Zhang Xueliang also hurriedly received the message. After reading it hastily, his face suddenly turned pale, and he lost his voice: "The Central Plains has been lost. The abominable Chiang Kai-shek has actually sent such a message to the Central Plains."  They concealed the information from me, and they clearly wanted to trap me into a place of eternal destruction." Chen Dazhang looked horrified on the side and didn't know how to interrupt.  After a while, Marshal Zhang woke up from his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately send electricity to Yu Xuezhong and lead his troops to withdraw to Qingdao." Chen Dazhang said: "Marshal, do you mean to give up Weifang?" "Yes, not only do you want to  Abandon Weifang and prepare to evacuate even Qingdao. After you notify the confidentiality room, you can inform Shen Honglie to come to my office immediately and we will discuss the evacuation." Marshal Zhang said.  Chen Dazhang nodded in agreement, quickly turned around and took the order to leave.  Not long after Chen Dazhang left, Shen Honglie arrived in a panic.  Ignoring the salute, he asked: "Young Marshal, what's the matter? What happened?" "Zhang Xinghan's rebels have already crossed the Yellow River south. Hu Zongnan can't resist. Most of the Central Plains has been captured by Zhang Xinghan. "Shandong has been captured by Zhang Xinghan.  This is a strategic point that cannot be defended anymore." Marshal Zhang said, "So, I came to you to discuss how to move away as much of our industrial and military facilities in Qingdao as possible." Shen Honglie's expression changed drastically and he said.  What do you mean, Marshal, giving up on Qingdao? "Shen Honglie has been operating in Qingdao for many years and he really can't bear to give up.  Zhang Xueliang said impatiently: "Now that the Central Plains has been occupied by the rebels, the entire Shandong and even a large area north of the Huaihe River are no longer defensible. What if Zhang Xinghan's rebels, after capturing the Central Plains, go eastward out of Zhoukou and go to Fuyang  , threatening Xuzhou, we have no way to retreat. Therefore, before the situation has deteriorated to this point, we must make plans and evacuate in advance to maximize the hard-won limited power in our hands." Shen Honglie was a little numb.  He nodded and asked: "Come, Marshal, have you thought about where we should evacuate?" "I have thought about it. The French and British have many concessions in Shanghai. We can temporarily evacuate to Shanghai by sea.  Seek asylum. Then wait for opportunities to develop." Zhang Xueliang said.  "Take the sea route?" Shen Honglie said: "We have 40,000 to 50,000 troops, which can be regarded as some logistics department employees. The total number is nearly 100,000. The ships of the naval fleet are simply not enough to carry so many people for retreat." Zhang Xueliang said thoughtfully: "  We can choose to take away all the elite Marines. The Army, led by Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan, will move south from Jiaozhou and move to the Huaihe River Basin along the Jinpu Railway. Wait for us to arrive.In Shanghai, I will ask the British and French to find a way to let Jiang go and transfer them to the Shanghai area.  " Shen Honglie nodded his head noncommittally, then left and went to prepare.  Weifang, Qingdao Army Headquarters. Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan were anxious and finally waited for Shaoshuai Zhang's call back. However,  After opening the message and looking at it, the two of them looked at each other and said, "Retreat?"  Give up Weifang?  " After saying that, Liu Duoquan looked up at the communication soldier who sent the message with disbelief, and asked: "This message is from the young marshal, right?  " The communication soldier did not dare to neglect, and nodded quickly to confirm: "Sir, it is indeed from the young marshal. It can't be wrong. If you are really worried, please call Qingdao back to confirm?  " Before Liu Duoquan expressed his position, Yu Xuezhong waved his hand to stop him and said: "No, it seems that the order is true.  "    "Um?  Liu Duoquan looked at him in surprise, and saw Yu Xuezhong looking down at the telegram in his hand with a solemn expression. Thinking of the telegram just now, it seemed that he had only read it once, and was shocked by the content of the first half, and it seemed that there was more below.  So he reached out and took the telegram from Yu Xuezhong's hand, and when he looked down carefully, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. The Central Plains had actually been captured by Zhang Xinghan's rebels. As a result, Shandong had indeed become a strategic death zone.  There is no value in holding on. He and Yu Xuezhong are both professional soldiers. Their years of military career have given them a good strategic vision. They can see that the situation in Shandong is irreversible. If they do not retreat early, the situation may worsen.  To a point that they cannot imagine and dare not imagine. "Brother Fangbo (Liu Duoquan's cousin), the matter has come to this, we should obey the commander's military orders and prepare to retreat.  "Yu Xuezhong looked at Liu Duoquan, who was still in shock, and said helplessly. Liu Duoquan nodded with a dull expression, agreeing. …………… On the official road from Zibo to Weifang. Zhang Xinghan led the Six  Thousands of troops were marching toward Weifang in a swaggering manner. From time to time, our own air force planes roared past, which were our own reconnaissance planes and fighter jets that were ordered to rush to support. On the official road, the six thousand troops were riding military trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles.  The convoy of hundreds of military trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles meandered along the official road, bringing up huge clouds of smoke and dust, covering the sky.  Said. Like a giant steel dragon sweeping across the sky, Zhang Xinghan was sitting in an armored vehicle, holding a handful of captured Japanese in his hands.  A general's sword given by the Emperor, wearing a pair of black leather boots, a light blue military uniform, an army cloth hat, and an American m1911 gun on his waist. On his shoulders are two shining generals.  With his tall stature, he gives people an aura of calmness and self-reliance. After several years of iron-blooded journeys and commanding millions of troops on the battlefield, he has already lived up to the young and immature young man who came through time.  The soldier already had the majestic temperament of a superior. In a moment, the radio on the radio started ticking. After a while, the radio turned around and translated the message.  He handed it to Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commander, the latest information our reconnaissance plane has just detected is that the enemy troops in Weifang suddenly abandoned the city and fled south.  " Zhang Xinghan's slightly closed eyes opened in vain. He took the telegram, glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Immediately send a message to Zhang Tingshu and tell him that the enemy may have noticed the unfavorable strategic situation and wants to escape. Let him  Immediately change the original battle plan. After arriving in Linyi, immediately advance to Jiaozhou, seize this place, and then defend it for me at all costs.  "    "yes.  "The communication soldier responded, then turned around and started to generate electricity. A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Xinghan's mouth, and he said secretly: Xiao Liuzi, the sea route is blocked. I will see where you are escaping this time. You can be captured without hesitation. It's time to go back to the three eastern provinces to tell your father.  The folks repented Jiaozhou County is located in the southwest of the Jiaodong Peninsula and on the bank of Jiaozhou Bay. It was the only way for Qingdao's defenders to escape southward. Marshal Zhang chose to flee southward in two ways, by sea and land, but he didn't want Zhang Xinghan to escape early.  There was an arrangement. Time passed, and another day and night passed in the blink of an eye. Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan's troops were attacked by the Northeast Army Air Force during their retreat. The retreat was slow and they finally retreated to a distance from Jiaozhou at around seven o'clock in the evening.  County seat three?? and Gaomi County, kilometers away.  In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Marshal Zhang ordered them to stay in Gaomi County and did not transfer them to Qingdao.  Marshal Zhang was worried that once more than 20,000 troops entered Qingdao, it would cause unnecessary chaos when the troops boarded ships and retreated.  Because all fools know that escaping by boat is safe and fast.  One day and one night is certainly not enough time for Zhang Shaoshuai and Shen Honglie to move. After all, they have been operating in Qingdao for several years.  In the past two years, it has received covert support from Western powers, and even quietly established a small arsenal.  The worker Zhang Shaoshuai wanted to take away these machines and equipment, because these are the capital for a comeback in the future.  However, what everyone did not expect was that when Marshal Zhang and Shen Honglie were busy moving in Qingdao, Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan, after leaving their troops in Gaomi, took the overnight ride back to Qingdao to meet the Marshal.  The vanguard of Zhang Tingshu's nine thousand army suddenly appeared outside Jiaozhou County after nearly thirty hours of rapid march.  ps: The recommendation votes are too shabby, keep asking for them, I’m rolling all over the floor asking for recommendation votes!  Please brothers, please give me some free recommendation tickets, thank you very much!  (To be continued.)

    At that time, most of the defenders around Qingdao were mobilized to participate in the Battle of Weifang, so Jiaozhou's defensive forces were also very empty.  . Only one infantry company and dozens of gendarmerie police are responsible for maintaining normal law and order.  Of course, it is impossible to organize any effective defense with such a meager force.  A thousand vanguards led by Zhang Tingshu broke through the west gate of Jiaozhou with almost no effort, and then easily defeated more than a hundred defenders and military police in the city.  After wiping them all out, Zhang Tingshu immediately dispatched troops to guard the four gates. While sending electricity to urge the main force to move forward faster, Zhang Tingshu sent a message to Zhang Xinghan to report the victory.  In Weifang City, Zhang Xinghan led an army of 6,000 people and had just arrived. At this time, the city was already deserted and the Northeastern Army easily occupied it.  Guo Zhong walked towards Zhang Xinghan excitedly with the telegram, and said to Zhang Xinghan, who was looking around in the former Qingdao Army Headquarters: "General Officer, according to the latest intelligence, Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan's troops have retreated to Gaomi. In addition,  , Zhang Tingshu also just called. He has taken the lead and captured Jiaozhou by surprise, and the follow-up troops will arrive soon." After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, order the troops to approach Qingdao immediately. This time I see Zhang Xiaoliu.  Where is he going to run away from? " Qingdao, Young Marshal's Mansion.  Zhang Xueliang was having a meeting with Shen Honglie and Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan and other subordinates who had just arrived from Gaomi.  Adjutant Chen Dazhang ran in from outside in a panic, came to Zhang Xueliang, and said in a breathless voice: "Young Marshal, it's bad, I just got the news that Jiaozhou was captured by Zhang Xinghan's rebels." "What?" including Zhang  Including Xueliang, Yu Xuezhong, Liu Duoquan, Shen Honglie and other people present at the meeting all stood up.  Marshal Zhang was the first to react and asked: "Didn't the rebels just arrive in Weifang? Why did they appear in Jiaozhou? Could it be that they can't fly?" "Young Marshal, this group of rebels probably didn't come from Weifang, it seems they came from Linyi  Come here." Chen Dazhang said.  As soon as Chen Dazhang said this, Yu Xuezhong and others immediately looked down at the map on the table in front of them and exclaimed: "Young Marshal, the rebels who attacked Jiaozhou should have come from Jining." "Jining?" Marshal Zhang  Hearing this, he looked at the map and immediately took a breath of cold air. His face turned pale and he said: "Zhang Xinghan, this bastard, is so cunning. He had long expected that our army would retreat south after learning about the situation in the Central Plains. That's why he  Send a partial division to attack Jiaozhou in a roundabout way to cut off our army's retreat! " "Young Marshal, the reason why this group of rebels can be so fast is because they must be lightly armed and not carry too many heavy weapons, and there are not too many people.  "The most urgent task is to immediately mobilize troops to counterattack Jiaozhou and open up a retreat route for our army to go south while its foothold is still unstable," Yu Xuezhong advised.  Only then did Marshal Zhang come to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiaohou and Fangbo, the two of you return to Gaomi quickly and command the troops to counterattack Jiaozhou immediately. Be sure to recapture it as soon as possible." Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan  The two were about to take the order when Shen Honglie stopped him and said, "Young Marshal, you must not do it." "Chengzhang, what do you mean?" Zhang Xueliang asked in confusion.  Shen Honglie explained: "Young Marshal, since Zhang Xinghan has this arrangement, his rebels in Weifang will definitely not stand still. After learning that Jiaozhou has been successfully attacked by his side forces, Weifang's army will definitely take advantage of the situation to advance eastward. If high-density troops are used,  Our army counterattacks Jiaozhou. If we cannot capture it for a long time, it is very likely that Weifang's army will take the opportunity to attack the rear. And the number of rebel troops attacking Jiaozhou is still unclear. If we cannot capture it for a long time, then Fangbo and Brother Xiaohou will have 20,000 troops.  The army is likely to be attacked by the rebels from both sides, and the consequences are unimaginable." Zhang Xueliang frowned and said, "Then what should we do?" Shen Honglie thought for a while and said, "Young Marshal.  , in my opinion, let Fangbo lead 10,000 troops to stay in Gaomi to ward off the enemy in the direction of Weifang. The remaining troops will be led by Brother Xiaohou, and the Marshal will transfer two or three regiments from the Qingdao garrison to return together.  Xiaohou commanded to counterattack Jiaozhou. " Zhang Xueliang then thought about it. Even if this arrangement could not open up the escape route to the south, it could still ensure that the high density was maintained, prevent the rebels from joining forces from the north and the south, and buy time for the relocation and evacuation of Qingdao.  He nodded happily, and then told Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan: "Xiaohou, Fangbo, I leave this battle to you!" The two men stood up and saluted at the same time: "Young Commander, please don't worry, I will fight to the death with all my strength.  I repay the kindness of the young marshal." Zhang Xueliang patted the two of them on the shoulders with a solemn expression to show encouragement. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit solemn and solemn.  When??, Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan rushed back to Gaomi by car. Before they arrived, the telegram had arrived.  More than 10,000 Qingdao troops stationed in Gaomi left Gaomi. After about two or three hours of march, they arrived at Jiaozhou County, which is 60 miles away.  At this time, Zhang Tingshu’s follow-up troops were still on their way.  There are only more than a thousand Northeastern troops stationed in Jiaozhou City.  We also have to take care of the four gates, so our troops are quite stretched.  Zhang Tingshu led the guards to the north gate city wall. Gaomi County is to the north. This will be the most intense defensive battle in the city.  Looking at the more than two hundred soldiers scattered on the city wall, Zhang Tingshu felt a little heavy. Although the soldiers were well-equipped and had strong continuous firepower.  But the number of troops was still too small. He only had more than a thousand people under his command, and he left another 200 people as a reserve. There were only about 200 troops scattered in the direction of the four city gates.  Although he was a little worried, Zhang Tingshu knew that as a commander, he still needed to take the lead to boost morale and appease the morale of the troops.  He immediately said loudly: "Brothers, our main force will arrive in half a day at the latest. In addition, I have called the general secretary to send us an air force, and it is on its way now. Although our military strength is at a disadvantage, I  I believe that as long as all the brothers work hard, victory will definitely belong to us. Also, the commander-in-chief is not far from us in the north, and is now leading his army to Gaomi County to intercept the retreat of the Qingdao Army!  We will fight to the end and fight to the end! We will fight to the end!  He raised his arms and shouted, and the sound spread throughout the city, causing the other three gate defenders to echo from a distance. For a time, their morale was high and their morale was boosted.  Not long after, a large number of Qingdao troops surged in and quickly launched a wave-like charge against Jiaozhou City.  Zhang Tingshu and his army fought to the death, and the battle quickly entered a fierce stage.  More than half an hour later, Yu Xuezhong took a bus from Qingdao city to the north of Jiaozhou city.  A colonel officer who was responsible for leading the team to directly attack the city welcomed him into the temporary enemy headquarters with several guards and adjutants.  "How is the situation?" Yu Xuezhong asked after entering the headquarters.  The colonel officer straightened his body and replied: "Reporting to the commander, the defenders are very tenacious and have powerful firepower. Our troops were repelled by them several times and lost many brothers." Yu Xuezhong took the hand from the adjutant unmoved.  After passing the telescope, we exited the headquarters.  The colonel, adjutant and others did not dare to neglect and quickly followed out.  Following the temporarily excavated and built traffic trench, Yu Xuezhong came to a trench at the front of the attack position.  Lying down in the trench, he held up his binoculars and looked at the raging battlefield ahead.  At this time, some machine gun bullets from the defenders flew over their heads from time to time.  The colonel officer and other subordinates were frightened. They lowered their heads to hide from time to time, and advised Yu Xuezhong with a mournful face: "Commander, it is too dangerous and too close here. For safety reasons, you should go back to the headquarters with your humble position." Yu Xuezhong turned a deaf ear.  Still holding his high-power telescope, he could clearly see the battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place through the telescope.  Under the city, a large number of our own soldiers were charging forward without fear of death. Countless tongues of flames spurted out from behind the battlements on the city, and a large number of bullets poured down like rain.  Some of our own soldiers who could not escape were shot and fell to the ground, suffering heavy casualties.  Yu Xuezhong observed for a while, then put down the telescope and turned to the colonel officer and said: "Captain Liu, the enemy's firepower is too strong. This battle cannot be fought like this. Immediately order the troops to stop attacking, bring the artillery up to me, and concentrate the artillery fire."  We are moving to attack a section of the north gate city wall. We are moving several battalions to the other three gates to conduct feint attacks and support." The colonel commander did not dare to slack off and quickly ordered his adjutant to make arrangements. He said respectfully to Yu Xuezhong: "Commander, you still have to do it.  Let's go back to the headquarters first." Yu Xuezhong looked back at the attacking crowd of his own who were rushing back like a tide. He sighed inwardly and turned back to the headquarters.  “The quality and combat experience of my own troops are far behind Zhang Xinghan’s Northeastern Army.  Although he had a numerical advantage in this battle, Yu Xuezhong was not sure of victory.  We can only do our best and obey fate.  .  On the top of the North Gate City, Zhang Tingshu pulled out the magazine of a submachine gun, looked at the number of remaining ammunition, and then clicked it into the gun.Went back.  He spat toward the outside of the city and said: "The Qingdao Army is nothing more than this. It is no better than Han Fuqu's Shandong Army. They are just a bunch of rabble." Through the confrontation just now, Zhang Tingshu was able to compare the combat effectiveness and strength of the enemy forces outside the city.  I have a preliminary understanding of the quality.  Now he is at ease. If the siege force only has these two brushes, then there is no need to worry too much about this battle.  Not long after the attack outside the city stopped, suddenly, there was a harsh sound of shelling.  Zhang Tingshu, who was resting on the city wall, changed his face when he heard the sound. He quickly stood up and shouted: "Everyone should take shelter under the city immediately. Hurry!" After a while, more than a dozen artillery shells were fired before the defenders could get down to the city.  Then he fell down hard.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions occurred.  "However, since it was the first round of test firing, and the Qingdao Army's artillery had insufficient actual combat experience, most of the artillery shells hit the city walls or houses in the city.  It seemed like the fire was dazzling and the momentum was astonishing, but in fact it failed to cause much damage to the defenders.  Zhang Tingshu and his men quickly descended the city wall in the light of fire.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 490: The Battle of East China (6)

    Hiding under the wall inside the city, Zhang Tingshu put the submachine gun in his arms aside, leaned against the wall and began to rest.  There was a barrier about one meter high built in front of them.  At this angle, no matter how fierce and accurate the shelling outside the city is, it is impossible to cause damage to Zhang Tingshu and others who are hiding under the city wall at this angle.  Unless the enemy's artillery shells outside the city are not artillery shells, but missiles with automatic navigation.  Of course, not everyone descended to the base of the city wall. Several soldiers risked their lives and stayed on top of the city as a warning.  Not long after Zhang Tingshu and the others hid at the base of the wall, another wave of shells roared and landed on the city wall.  The accuracy this time was much better than last time. The explosion shock wave generated by the shells falling on the city head made the defenders hiding under the city roots vaguely feel the city wall behind them shaking.  From time to time, bits of gravel and soil flew down from above, making a thumping sound when they landed on the helmets of the officers and soldiers.  However, the shelling did not last long. After only ten rounds of shelling, it began to extend.  It can be seen that Yu Xuezhong does not have many shells. After all, Marshal Zhang, who lives in a corner of Qingdao, is not as good as Zhang Xinghan, who has a big business now.  Limited military expenditures cannot be used to purchase artillery shells.  As soon as the artillery fire began to spread, Zhang Tingshu stood up and waved his submachine gun: "Brothers, the Qingdao Army's three axes have been swung. It's time for us to go up and give them some bullets. Come with me!"  Then he took the lead and rushed out of the barrier and towards the city wall.  More than two hundred officers and soldiers followed.  Outside the city, Yu Xuezhong immediately ordered the troops to attack after the artillery bombardment ended.  A large number of Qingdao troops who were ready to prepare suddenly swarmed out like a flood from a dike and launched a charge towards the city wall.  The artillery bombardment just now really boosted their morale.  So, Yu Xuezhong gave the order and immediately launched the attack with overwhelming shouts of killing, sweeping away the malaise caused by the frustration of the previous attack.  Zhang Tingshu led the officers and soldiers back to the city wall. At this time, the gunpowder smoke on the city top had not completely dispersed. They quickly entered their respective positions with their waists bent, and raised the steel guns one by one and stretched them out of the crenels. The dark muzzles of the guns were  Aimed at the outside of the city.  In just a few minutes, the attacking side entered the machine gun range of the defenders, and a dozen mg34 general-purpose machine guns were the first to roar.  "Following this came a large number of semi-automatic rifles and some MP38 submachine guns, forming a dense network of firepower.  The Qingdao troops who were shouting to charge suddenly fell down in pieces.  Seeing this, Yu Xuezhong, who was supervising the battle in the rear, couldn't help but tighten his eyes suddenly, and said to himself: The defenders are really difficult to deal with. The shelling that he just used up almost half of his ammunition reserves seems to have failed to achieve the expected effect.  As the charge approached, large grenades began to fly out from the city wall.  There were explosions and gunshots outside the city, and countless Qingdao soldiers fell down with howls.  ………………… More than four hours later, Yu Xuezhong still failed to break into Jiaozhou County, which was defended by only a thousand people.  In addition, more than a dozen aircraft from the Northeast Air Force arrived later, and they violently bombed and strafed the Qingdao Army position.  In view of the heavy casualties among his men, Yu Xuezhong ordered the troops to suspend the attack.  Not long after, Zhang Tingshu’s subsequent eight thousand troops arrived one after another, easily defeated Yu Xuezhong’s attacking troops in the west of the city, and entered Jiaozhou County.  Under pressure, Yu Xuezhong sent an emergency message to Zhang Xueliang while leading his troops to switch from offense to defense on the spot.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan also led 6,000 troops from Weifang to Gaomi, and under the cover of the air force, he immediately launched an attack on Liu Duoquan's headquarters.  The battle in Gaomi County is raging, and fierce fighting is in full swing.  Qingdao, the young marshal's mansion has fallen into chaos, and a large number of servants are busy packing up their belongings and preparing to flee.  As the owner, Marshal Zhang had already led his guards to escort Miss Zhao Si onto a warship.  After all the important institutions and arsenal equipment in the city are on board, they are ready to escape from the sea.  As the commander of the Navy, Shen Honglie will naturally not stay in the city.  I was standing on the deck of the warship with Marshal Zhang looking at the busy Qingdao pier.  The two were chatting about their way out after arriving in Shanghai. Adjutant Chen Dazhang boarded the deck with a message and came to them.  Saluted, "Young Marshal, Yu Xuezhong, and Liu Duoquan have sent urgent messages. The former has been fiercely attacking Jiaozhou, and now a large number of rebel reinforcements are coming from the direction of Linyi, seizing the opportunity."The battle plan to return to Jiaozhou has become impossible to realize.  In the direction of Gaomi, the rebels from Weifang have also arrived and launched a fierce attack on Gaomi County.  The Second Division is in a critical situation and urgently needs reinforcements from you, Marshal.  " After Zhang Xueliang heard this, the gloominess between his brows became heavier. He did not answer first, but turned to ask Shen Honglie: "Chengzhang, how long does it take for us to set off?  " Shen Honglie replied: "It will be at least evening before all the shipments can be completed.  " Marshal Zhang nodded, and then ordered Chen Dazhang: "Immediately send electricity to Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan. All the more than 10,000 troops in Qingdao city will be allocated to them. I order them to hold on for me until six o'clock in the evening. Six o'clock  Afterwards, they can break out of the encirclement southward on their own, settle in the Xuzhou area, and then wait for orders on the spot.  " Chen Dazhang responded and took the order. Marshal Zhang was in a bad mood and returned to the cabin to find Miss Zhao Si. Although Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan may not be able to defeat the two Northeast rebels, the three of them can  With more than 10,000 troops, there should be no problem in holding on until the evening, right? Everything has been arranged just right, but Marshal Zhang is still a little depressed because he is about to be forced to give up the only place he has been operating for several years.  Miss Zhao Si, who was sorting out her clothes, threw herself down on the bed. She lifted up her cheongsam, moved her hands up her smooth, white and round thighs, covered her plump breasts, and started squeezing them through her underwear.  , Xiao Liuzi, who was breathing heavily, couldn't wait to spread the two slender legs of the beauty underneath him, thrust his lower body forward, and entered. An expression of pain or comfort appeared on Miss Zhao Si's slightly flushed face.  , the beautiful eyebrows wrinkled at first, and then relaxed, and the little cherry mouth couldn't help but let out a somewhat suppressed moan: "Um ugh ah ugh Han Qing, please be gentle" Mr. Zhang, who was enjoying himself to his heart's content  I seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, why Zhang Xinghan's air force is so powerful and has repeatedly participated in wars in various places, but he did not bomb the naval base in Qingdao. He is carrying out a large-scale relocation in Qingdao and is preparing to evacuate on a warship.  How to keep it secret? If a Northeast Air Force reconnaissance plane flew over for reconnaissance, it would be revealed. However, not even a single reconnaissance plane from the Northeast Air Force that was raging over East China had entered the sky above Qingdao.   Gaomi County, Liu Duoquan's headquarters. Holding the callback order from Marshal Zhang, Liu Duoquan sat there without saying a word as if he was petrified. After a long time, he slowly said to himself: Marshal, this is it.  You want us to be a shield and a scapegoat. Liu Fangbo has been deeply favored by Zhang and has no way to repay him. He will lead his troops to fight to the death for the last moment. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside.  A communications soldier came in with a hurried look, saluted Liu Duoquan and said, "Sir, General Yu Xuezhong is here.  "    "oh?  Liu Duoquan was still surprised, but Yu Xuezhong had already walked in from outside. Liu Duoquan asked in surprise: "Brother Xiaohou, you are not on the front line in Jiaozhou, why are you back?"  " Yu Xuezhong did not answer, but said to Liu Duoquan: "Brother Fangbo, the Marshal and Shen Honglie have already boarded the ship, and they will evacuate to Shanghai by ship at nightfall at the latest. Do you know this?  Liu Duoquan raised the telegram in his hand and said, "You didn't receive the young marshal's telegram, did you?"  " Yu Xuezhong glanced at the message in his hand and said: "Received. The reason why I hurriedly returned to Gaomi is to come to you to discuss countermeasures for the life and death of our more than 30,000 brothers.  " Liu Duoquan said lukewarmly: "I wonder what brother Xiaohou has planned?  " Yu Xuezhong said: "The young marshal asked us to hold on until six o'clock in the evening. There should be no problem. But how should we break out after six o'clock? Brother Fangbo, have you ever thought about it.  " Liu Duoquan saw that Yu Xuezhong's words did not immediately break out and escape, and did not follow Marshal Zhang's military orders. He felt a little relieved and shook his head gently. When Yu Xuezhong saw this, he continued: "So, I think we have to make a plan in advance.  Breakout plan, otherwise once a hasty retreat and breakout is approaching, it is likely to lead to a complete defeat of the troops, and the consequences will be disastrous by then.  Liu Duoquan nodded in agreement and said, "I don't know, Brother Xiaohou, do you have any good plans?"  " "With the addition of the troops transferred by the Marshal from Qingdao, we now have more than 30,000 troops. Such a large number of troops must not retreat in the same direction at the same time.  Otherwise, it will be easy to be overtaken by the Northeast Army and attacked.?.  I think we must spread out and break out.  "With that said, Yu Xuezhong walked straight towards the map hanging on the wall. …………… Outside Gaomi City, the Northeast Army Headquarters. Zhang Xinghan stood in front of the map, smoking a cigarette every time. Headquarters  There were gunshots, shouts of death, and explosions outside, but the sky was filled with excitement. Guo Zhong stood aside, and Liu Jianguo went to the front to supervise the battle. Only Zhang Xinghan was left contemplating in front of the map. Not long after, Liu Jianguo was in the dust.  Zhang Xinghan looked up at him and asked, "Jianguo, how is the attack?"  " Liu Jianguo said with some shame: "The first wave of attacks failed, and a second attack is currently being organized.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded lightly without comment, and continued to focus on the map in front of him. Upon seeing this, Liu Jianguo stepped forward and asked: "Chief, what are you thinking about?  Zhang Xinghan did not raise his head and said: "I am thinking about how to completely annihilate these tens of thousands of Qingdao troops."  "(To be continued.)

    "What are your plans, sir?" Liu Jianguo asked puzzledly.  Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and said: "According to the information from the Secret Bureau agents from Qingdao City, Zhang Xiaoliu's 'luggage' has almost been moved. I estimate that at most it will be dark, and the Qingdao Army in Gaomi and Jiaozhou will be there  Breaking through, according to my arrangements, they cannot break out smoothly. "Why do you say that?" Liu Jianguo asked.  "Because Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan are not idiots, they will never get together to break out, and once they break out separately. Even if our navy can intercept and capture Xiao Liuzi at sea, it will not be of much use. At that time, these scattered breakthroughs  The connection between the Qingdao troops who have gone out will definitely be interrupted, and the plan of using Zhang Xiaoliu to surrender them to me will not be able to proceed smoothly," Zhang Xinghan said.  Zhang Xinghan did not want to truly eliminate these tens of thousands of Qingdao troops. In any case, they were rare soldiers who had been trained by Marshal Zhang and Shen Honglie in Qingdao for several years.  As long as they can all be forced to surrender, Zhang Xinghan will have enough confidence to turn them into a force capable of conquering and fighting under the command of the Northeast Army.  If it doesn’t work, just disperse them to supplement the various army groups, which is also a good way to supplement the troops.  This is also the reason why Zhang Xinghan did not order the troops to attack the city with all their strength. Otherwise, with the Northeastern Army's sophisticated equipment and the powerful artillery and air force, it would not be a problem to capture a mere high-density city and defeat a mob of 20,000 to 30,000 people.  Liu Jianguo thought for a while and said: "The chief's analysis makes sense, what do you mean?" "Immediately stop the attack on Gaomi, order Zhang Tingshu to continue to guard Jiaozhou with one force, and send another regiment or so to Qingdao city.  Go ahead. You can also lead one or two battalions around Gaomi County, approaching Qingdao through Heya Town and Madian, to intimidate Xiaoliuzi and force him to escape on a warship before dark. I have already sent the navy to the sea.  Wait for him." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Chief, why don't we just let the navy attack Qingdao Port, make an emergency landing in Qingdao, and capture Marshal Zhang alive?" Liu Jianguo asked in confusion.  "What you don't know is that this may cause Zhang Xiaoliu to flee into Qingdao and hide. Moreover, if the forced landing fails and a fierce battle breaks out, and Zhang Xiaoliu is killed in the artillery fire, then the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhang Xinghan said:  "How much does one shell and one torpedo cost for us? Zhang Xiaoliu's life is not worth that amount. Keeping him is much more useful than killing him." Liu Jianguo suppressed his laughter, nodded and accepted the order: "Yes, I understand, I understand.  I’ll make arrangements right away.” …………… Looking back at Gaomi City, Yu Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan made a detailed battle plan for a breakout.  Yu Xuezhong was about to go back to command the troops. Suddenly an adjutant broke in and said to Liu Duoquan: "Sir, it's not good. The rebels outside the city suddenly divided their forces and bypassed Gaomi City. From the Heya area in the north of the city, they attacked  "Going east." "What?" Liu Duoquan was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the map with Yu Xuezhong, and the latter immediately exclaimed: "No, this is going to Qingdao city."  The evacuation of Qingdao city has not yet been completed, so we must not let them pass at this time," Liu Duoquan said anxiously.  “Then the only way is to send troops to intercept.” Yu Xuezhong said thoughtfully.  Liu Duoquan immediately ordered the adjutant: "Immediately order Commander Zhao to attack immediately and stop the outflanking rebels in the north of the city at any cost." The adjutant said with a sad face: "Sir, the rebels in the north of the city are equipped with tanks.  Tanks, if we rush out of the city, we will probably be defeated by them. " "Tanks?" Liu Duoquan was a little overwhelmed and shouted: "No matter how many iron bastards he has equipped, they must be stopped by me.  They must not be allowed to enter the city of Qingdao, do you hear me?" The adjutant was so stunned that he nodded with a pale face and said, "Yes! I'll go now." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.  Looking at the adjutant who fled, Yu Xuezhong said with concern: "Brother Fangbo, the combat power of the tank troops under Zhang Xinghan cannot be underestimated. The Japanese have suffered heavy losses at their hands. If they attack rashly, I'm afraid  " Before Yu Xuezhong finished speaking, Liu Duoquan interrupted him and said: "No matter how difficult it is, we can't just sit back and let them attack the city, right? You know that the young commander hasn't evacuated yet!  Being choked by his words, she was speechless and could only nod awkwardly.  However, it didn’t take long for the adjutant to come back and say with a frightened face: “Sir, it’s not good. As soon as Captain Zhao led his troops out of the city, they were attacked by a small tank unit of the rebels. The troops were killed and injured.  Tragic.Unfortunately, we retreated, and according to the news from the scouts, the rebels' roundabout troops were all mechanized marches. They would have bypassed Gaomi City long ago and were probably almost reaching the urban area.  Liu Duoquan was furious when he heard this, and roared: "A bunch of useless things, kill Zhao Dahai immediately!"  "The adjutant was obedient and looked at Yu Xuezhong who was standing aside as if asking for help. Yu Xuezhong immediately pulled Liu Duoquan and said: "Brother Fangbo, in the current war, you can't kill the general on the battlefield. It will be detrimental to the morale and morale of the army.  "    "snort.  "Liu Duoquan snorted coldly, turned around and walked aside. Yu Xuezhong said: "It is urgent and there is no other way. We cannot act rashly, otherwise once we leave Jiancheng, we may be defeated by the Northeast Army. In my opinion,  , we'd better send electricity to the young marshal quickly and let him evacuate in advance.  "Liu Duoquan was silent for a while, and waved his hand, indicating that he agreed. Yu Xuezhong immediately motioned to the adjutant to take the order.  Qingdao Military Port, inside a warship. A large room on the second floor of the cabin  Inside, after Shaoshuai Zhang had sex with Miss Zhao Si, he was leaning on the bedside with his arms around the disheveled beauty, smoking. Miss Zhao Si's cheongsam was torn, and her underwear hung on the base of a long snow-white leg. The tattered cheongsam could only be held up.  The upright buttocks and upper body are covered by the spring light. Most of the tall, straight and round breasts are exposed to the air, and the white skin on the neck and chest is exposed to the air. There is also a blush after reaching the peak on the beautiful cheeks. Over the years, I have been so beautiful.  She was already familiar with Shaoshuai Zhang's character. She was not in a hurry to put on clothes or clean up the mess. Instead, she snuggled into his arms like a little bird, letting his rough big hand caress her smooth and delicate back.  Stroking and squeezing back and forth on her back and soft and straight white buttocks. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Miss Zhao Si turned a deaf ear, and Shaoshuai Zhang frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Who?  " "Young Marshal, it's me, Dazhang.  "Chen Dazhang's anxious voice came from outside the door. Only then did Marshal Zhang gently pat Miss Zhao Si's shoulder, put on her clothes and pants under her service, and walked out. Chen Dazhang, who was pacing back and forth in the corridor, heard the news behind him  The door opened and he hurriedly came over and saluted: "Young Marshal, I'm sorry, I just received an urgent message from Liu Duoquan. A rebel army has bypassed Gaomi and is advancing towards the city. General Liu Duoquan suggested that you  Safety is your top priority, evacuate in advance.  Hearing this, Marshal Zhang became furious: "What do Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong do for food?"  Shouldn't they be asked to hold on until six o'clock in the evening?  " Chen Dazhang wondered: "Young Marshal, General Liu said in the message that they are unable to resist the rebel tank troops, so there is no way to stop the enemy's roundabout attack.  "    "snort!  "Young Master Zhang's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "Go and call Shen Honglie.  " Chen Dazhang saluted and quickly accepted the order. Not long after, Chen Dazhang led Shen Honglie over in a hurry. "Young Marshal, what happened?  "Shen Honglie asked when he met. "Chengzhang, let me ask you, how much equipment in the city has not been shipped?  "Young Marshal Zhang asked. "There are many more. Many cotton mills have not yet set up their defenses," Shen Honglie replied without thinking, and then asked: "Young Marshal, has something happened?  " Marshal Zhang waved his hands impatiently and said: "Don't ask yet, has the equipment in the arsenal been installed?  " Shen Honglie said: "According to your instructions, the equipment from the arsenal will be put on board the ship first, and it has all been installed now.  " Zhang Xiaoliu nodded when he heard this, and said in a surprising tone: "That's enough, order the Marines who maintain order at the dock to board the ship immediately, and we will evacuate Qingdao immediately.  " Shen Honglie was shocked and said: "Young Marshal, what about the remaining equipment and personnel?  " Zhang Xiaoliu waved his hands impatiently and said: "The situation is urgent. I don't want it anymore. I don't want it all. Order the fleet to weigh anchor and sail immediately!  "    "yes!  "Seeing that Marshal Zhang looked unhappy, Shen Honglie did not dare to say anything more and had to lower his head in reply. Not long after, dozens of large and small ships parked in the military port started to move out one after another, slowly leaving the port and sailing towards the sea. Station  On the deck, Marshal Zhang looked expressionlessly at the Qingdao Port that was getting farther and farther away. Miss Zhao Si, who had changed into a cheongsam, nestled next to him and comforted him: "Han Qing, everything will be fine when we arrive in Shanghai.  Enough.  "Suddenly, there was a harsh whistle from the front. Shaoshuai Zhang, who was secretly upset, and Miss Zhao Si next to him were shocked when they heard the sound. The former shouted loudly and asked: "What happened?Something?  " Chen Dazhang put his hand on the gun at his waist and looked around with a vigilant expression. Not long after, he saw Shen Honglie running up from the cabin. When he saw Zhang Xueliang, he lost his voice and said: "Young Marshal, Young Marshal, it's not good.  Rebel Navy battleship spotted ahead!  "    "What?  Upon hearing this, Marshal Zhang's expression changed dramatically: "Chengzhang, what did you say?"  Battleship?  "Although Marshal Zhang has never had the money to equip a battleship, he knows what this thing is. He also knows its power. Seeing Shen Honglie nodding, his heart couldn't help but feel cold. Then he said as if he was grasping a life-saving straw: "Cheng Zhang  Immediately order other ships to stop the rebels, let's go back, let's go ashore!  " Shen Honglie shook his head with a wry smile, pointed behind him and said: "Young Marshal, I'm afraid it's too late. Look!  ” ps: I’m really sorry. I wrote the last chapter at around nine o’clock and uploaded it, but I forgot to go to the management chapter volume to publish it. I only saw this chapter after I uploaded it. I’m really sorry. I posted the two chapters at the same time.  I hope you enjoy it and give me some recommendation votes. It’s the third update today! (To be continued.)

    Following Shen Honglie's expectations, Zhang Xiaoliu saw a scene that stunned him.  Not far from his flagship, at some point, two huge, dark submarines appeared on the sea.  There is a blue sky and white sun flag rising slowly on each submarine.  Zhang Xueliang took a breath of air and turned to look at Shen Honglie as if asking for help.  Shen Honglie lowered his head with a bitter look on his face. As the commander of the navy, he understood how critical the current situation was better than Marshal Zhang.  Not long after, a communications officer hurried over and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Young Marshal, the rebel ship ahead sent us a flag, asking us to stop our march immediately and surrender unconditionally, otherwise we will be sunk."  With a pale face, Zhang Xueliang led Shen Honglie, Chen Dazhang and others around to the bow of the ship. Looking up, he saw a giant warship much larger than his flagship and several smaller warships blocking the way.  On the sea in front of their fleet.  The dark muzzles of the huge ship-borne guns were all pointed towards them.  Marshal Zhang has no doubt that if they dare to make any move, these giant ships and cannons will quickly sink them.  Half an hour later, outside Gaomi County.  "Chief, the Navy has just sent news that the interception operation was successful. Dozens of Qingdao Navy ships, large and small, have all surrendered unconditionally." Guo Zhong reported excitedly to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan stood up immediately after hearing this and asked anxiously: "Where is Xiao Liuzi? He didn't run away, right?" Guo Zhong smiled and said: "Maintendent, don't worry, neither Zhang Xueliang nor Shen Honglie ran away, they should have been arrested by now  Get aboard our battleship Wei Qing. ""That's good, that's good. Immediately instruct the navy to send a message to Yu Xuezhong and others and order them to surrender to our army!" Zhang Xinghan said.  "Yes!" Guo Zhong immediately stood up and responded, followed the order and left.  …………… In Gaomi County, Yu Xuezhong did not leave in the end, but let the troops on the Jiaozhou front line shrink.  Close to Gaomi County.  Because they have now lost contact with Marshal Zhang, and they don’t know what the situation in Qingdao is like.  Both of them were anxious, pacing back and forth in Liu Duoquan's headquarters like ants on a hot pot.  Finally, an adjutant stumbled in and when he saw Liu Duoquan, he even forgot to salute.  He said with a tragic face: "Two officers, it's not good. The young marshal has been captured." "What?" Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong were both shocked when they heard this. The former even grabbed the adjutant's collar and said,  Roaring: "What did you say? Where did this news come from?" The adjutant carefully took out a message and said tremblingly: "This is a call from the young marshal. He wants us to stop resisting immediately and report to the rebels in front of us.  Unconditionally surrender." Liu Duoquan received the message with a pale face.  After reading it, my hands started to tremble.  Yu Xuezhong on the side also showed a similar reaction to him, and the young marshal was actually captured.  "Brother Fangbo. This message was not forged by Zhang Xinghan, right?" Yu Xuezhong said suddenly.  Hearing this, Liu Duoquan raised his head and looked at the adjutant who came to report.  The adjutant quickly replied: "Absolutely not. This message was sent by the radio station carried by the Marshal's guard. The communication is our internal top-secret message and is definitely not forged. If the Marshal had not been captured, we would not have received this message.  "Liu Duoquan nodded, looked at the message and said, "The tone and style of the words are very similar to the young commander, and they don't seem to be fake." "Then what should we do?" Yu Xuezhong asked.  road.  Liu Duoquan was silent for a long time, and then he sighed and said: "Young Marshal's military orders are like mountains, how can we not obey them. If we refuse to obey the military orders, and Zhang Xinghan uses this to vent his anger on the Young Marshal, wouldn't we be ashamed?" Yu  After hearing what he said, Xuezhong nodded in agreement and said: "Well, under the coordination of Zhang Xinghan, the Northeastern men are not a bad thing. After all, they are tough to the outside world, defeated the Japanese devils, and occupied Kyushu Island. They are proud of it.  It's a shame. If the tens of thousands of our soldiers can join, it won't necessarily be a bad thing." Half an hour later, Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong led their troops out of the city to surrender.  Zhang Xinghan, surrounded by Guo Zhong and others, personally accepted their surrender.  When they suddenly saw Zhang Xinghan, whom they should have hated to the core, Liu Duoquan and Yu Xuezhong felt completely at ease.  These two people are both good military talents. Zhang Xinghan did not embarrass them, but stepped forward and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Fangbo, brother Xiaohou, from now on we will finally"Now we can fight side by side!  I hope that in the future, the two brothers can show their talents and work hard for the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation.  " The two people were a little unnatural in their warm treatment of Zhang Xinghan, but they were a little stunned when they heard this. After looking at each other, Liu Duoquan asked: "A defeated general, how can he talk about the country and the nation.  " "Hey, Brother Fangbo is wrong. You and Brother Xiaohou are both excellent soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. They should work hard for the prosperity of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation. They should never be foolishly loyal to any individual.  "When a man is born and becomes a soldier, he should shoulder the responsibilities that a soldier should have, and protect his family and country, even to the death.  The fight between you and me today is a fight between brothers. How can we become disheartened because of this and let everything we have learned go to waste?  "Zhang Xinghan comforted him with kind words. Hearing that Zhang Xinghan still wanted to let them lead the army again in the future, both of them were a little surprised. Due to Zhang Xinghan's enthusiasm, it was difficult to say any more cold words. Liu Duoquan transferred  He changed the topic and asked: "Commander Zhang, I wonder how the young marshal is doing now?  " Zhang Xinghan said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, no matter what wrong decisions the Marshal made during the September 18th Incident, Zeng Jin is also Xinghan's boss.  "Besides, I actually have no personal grudges with the young marshal. Everything started because of the Japanese invasion of China. As a soldier, I should fight back and defend my homeland."  Here, I promise you that no matter what happens in the future, as long as the young commander does not do anything detrimental to the country and the nation, I will never make things difficult for him.  He can still live in the Young Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang, and his family can return to Shenyang to share the happiness of family.  " "Commander Zhang is magnanimous and magnanimous. Brother Xiaohou and I admire him greatly.  Liu Duoquan stood up and saluted. They still believe in Zhang Xinghan's credibility. As long as he has said anything, he has never regretted it.  The military police and some troops were able to successfully enter Qingdao city. A large number of Qingdao citizens lined the streets to welcome you and cheered. For a time, the excitement at the military port was unprecedented. Under the leadership of the battleship Wei Qing, the Northeast Navy also escorted Qingdao.  The navy entered the military port, and thousands of marines and nearly 10,000 navy sailors were disarmed and boarded ashore. Zhang Tingshu led the people to complete the acceptance, and they were all temporarily placed in the military camp of the Qingdao Waiyuan Garrison. The next day, Qingdao Airport.  The guards were tight. Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Zhang Tingshu, Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others, came to see the captured Marshal Zhang and Miss Zhao Si. Yu Xuezhong, Shen Honglie, Liu Duoquan and other surrendered officers of the Qingdao Army were also present. "  Brother Hanqing, we say goodbye today and will see you again in the near future. You must take care of yourself.  "Zhang Xinghan held Shaoshuai Zhang's hand sincerely and said. Shaoshuai Zhang was itching his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he didn't dare to show up. He said with a stiff expression: "Thank you for your concern, dear brother. I will pay all attention to it. You should also take care of yourself.  .  " "Well, Brother Hanqing takes care of it!  "Zhang Xinghan let go of his hand and stood up to salute. Marshal Zhang had no choice but to straighten his body and salute a military salute. "Miss Zhao, you should also take care of yourself.  "Zhang Xinghan looked at Miss Zhao Si, who was in her youth, blooming and beautiful as a flower, and pretended to be sincere. In his heart, he cursed secretly: "Damn you, Xiao Liuzi, you are such a beast, this is  Miss Zhao was fooled by you when she was only 16 or 17 years old. What a beast. Marshal Zhang was afraid that Zhang Xinghan would get interested and didn't want to talk more, so he wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Miss Zhao Si came from a well-known scholarly family and had a good tutor.  He didn't expect Zhang Xinghan to be so kind to Marshal Zhang, and he didn't have a bad impression of him. He politely thanked him and said, "Thank you, General, for your concern. Qixia and Marshal are grateful.  " She knows better than anyone else what Marshal Zhang is doing behind his back, so she feels deeply guilty when Zhang Xinghan is so confrontational at this moment. "Miss Zhao is serious. You and the Marshal take care of each other, and we say goodbye.  "Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised. It is indeed rare for this woman to be able to accompany Marshal Zhang for more than seventy years, never leaving him, and willing to suffer the pain of confinement. "When I saw him today, she really lived up to her reputation. No wonder she stood out among the many high-class ladies in the Republic of China, and stood out among Marshal Zhang.  When he was in his prime, Zhang Xinghan acted like this, which made Yu Xuezhong, Shen Honglie and others feel very happy, and their impressions of him were greatly improved. They all stepped forward to bid farewell to their young commander.  He had an upright character and was saddened by the situation. He asked Zhang Xinghan to board the plane with him and accompany him back to Shenyang.He agreed with a smile. After they boarded the plane and left, Zhang Xinghan put his arm around Shen Honglie's shoulders and said cordially: "Brother Chengzhang, you are a real talent in the navy. I hope you can contribute to the country in the future." Shen Honglie was flattered.  He said: "Thanks to the general's high regard, Shen Chengzhang dares not to go all out to do it?!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and said to him, Yu Xuezhong and others: "My dear friends, don't go back to eat today, let's have a good drink  , I have so many words and ideals to tell everyone. "" On Kyushu Island, the Northeast Border Guard's clearing operations on Kyushu Island are still continuing.  Located in a mountain range in the middle of Kyushu Island, Nakamura Tanichi, who is already down and can be a savage, and Igo are gnawing on extremely unpalatable tree roots and bark.  "Nakamura-kun, according to the reply from Tokyo, the empire has received support from Western countries. I believe that soon, it will be able to reorganize its war preparations, counterattack Kyushu Island, and kill all the Chinese people!" Igo Zhenghe said, chewing on the bark of a tree.

    While the two were talking, a skinny Japanese soldier suddenly ran over along the thorns in the mountain and said anxiously to them: "Your Excellency, the division commander, it's bad, there is another Chinese pursuit force coming down the mountain."  ." The two threw away the bark, each picked up a handful of almost rusty tortoise boxes, and stood up.  Nakamuraya gritted his teeth and said: "These damn Chinese people have noses sharper than dogs, and they are not letting anyone live anymore." Igo Masato advised: "Nakamura-kun, hold on, His Majesty the Emperor will bless us, we will definitely do it  The day of victory will come.” After saying that, Yiwu Zhenghe turned to the ragged Japanese soldier and said, “Order all squadrons to break out and move immediately!” ……………Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, together with Wang Zhaoming, Zhang Jingjiang and other republican elders, had just finished visiting Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and were walking down the mountain path to the tomb.  Suddenly a chamberlain came to report. After hearing the report, the captain of the guard Wang Shihe did not dare to delay and quickly caught up with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek who was talking to a group of elders of the Republic of China in front of him.  Hearing: "Commissioner, Zhang Hanqing has been captured, the entire Qingdao army has surrendered, Zhang Xinghan has occupied the Jiaodong Peninsula." Chairman Jiang's face froze, and then he said to Zhang Jingjiang and others who looked confused: "Ji Xin, you accompany the instructor  Walk slowly, I'm in a hurry, please go ahead. Teacher, please forgive me." Seeing Wang Zhaoming and Zhang Jingjiang nodding in confusion, Chairman Jiang hurried down the mountain with Wang Shihe and some guards without delay.  When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we got on a special car and returned to Nanjing under the protection of all the security forces.  When Chairman Chiang returned to the meeting room of the Military Commission’s Operations Hall, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng and others had already been notified in advance and were waiting there.  Chairman Chiang entered the room hurriedly with his cane, waved his hands to everyone who stood up and saluted, and said: "The battle in Qingdao was defeated. Zhang Hanqing was defeated and captured. His life and death are unknown at the moment. Ci Xiu, how is the construction of the Huaihe River defense line going?" Chen Cheng  He quickly replied: "Commissioner, our Central Army's fourteen divisions and eight brigades, totaling more than 200,000 people, have basically all arrived at the scheduled position. They will rely on the Jinpu Line and the Huaihe River natural barrier to deploy defenses. In addition, there are also a number of our troops along the Yangtze River.  A hundred thousand troops were deployed in the direction of the Central Plains, which was blocked by the natural barrier of Dabie Mountain. If the rebels wanted to join the war, they could only go south along the Beijing-Hankou Railway. In this area, General Xue Yue had already led ten divisions and six brigades to defend Yiyang San.  The natural security of the passes (Wusheng Pass, Jiuli Pass, and Pingjing Pass) can ensure that the three towns of Wuhan are foolproof." Bai Chongxi continued: "There are many water networks in the Jianghuai River Basin, which is no better than the Qianli Plain in the north. This will greatly delay the Northeast rebels.  The speed of mechanized advance. Whether our army can stop the Northeast Army from going south depends on this battle." Chairman Chiang said: "I will make arrangements immediately. This time I will go to Fengyang to supervise the bloody battle." "You must not appoint me.  At present, Han Fuqu in Shandong is still resisting. It will take some time for Zhang Xinghan to occupy the entire Shandong and East China areas. He will not be able to cross Xuzhou and go south for at least half a month. Beizhong believes that we still have enough time to strengthen the defense line and the safety of the commission.  Because of the importance of the country, we must not risk our lives easily. "As for supervising the battle on the front line, it is enough for me to do so. Please think again," Chen Cheng quickly advised.  ……………… On the battlefield in Shandong, after Zhang Xinghan occupied Qingdao, his handling of Marshal Zhang won the approval of Army and Navy generals such as Xuezhong and Shen Honglie.  Three days later, the more than 30,000 captured army personnel were combined with the 15,000 people led by Zhang Tingshu and Liu Jianguo to form two Army Class A divisions, each with more than 25,000 people.  Since Xuezhong and Liu Duoquan were appointed division commanders respectively, Liu Duoquan temporarily went to Shenyang, and the troops were temporarily commanded by Zhang Tingshu, chief of staff of the 3rd Group Army.  These two divisions are under the control of the First Army Group of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  More than 10,000 naval personnel were reorganized into the Northeast Navy on the spot, which can be regarded as "reinstatement of official duties."  However, Zhang Xinghan did not leave them in Qingdao, but went directly to Kyushu Island to supplement the naval strength of the strategic blockade in Japanese waters.  After the adaptation was completed, Zhang Xinghan ordered Zhang Yuxuezhong to lead two regiments to attack Yantai, Weihai and other coastal cities on the Jiaodong Peninsula.  On the other hand, Zhang Tingshu was ordered to lead the main force south to Linyi to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou.  The Shandong Army stationed in Yantai and other places had an old relationship with the Qingdao Army. When Yu Xuezhong's troops arrived, they all surrendered. Yu Xuezhong effortlessly controlled the entire Jiaodong Peninsula for Zhang Xinghan.  More than 5,000 surrendered Shandong Army troops were obtained. Zhang Xinghan ordered these surrendered troops to remain stationed on the spot.The ragtag local security forces have no need for them for the time being. After the domestic war is over, the ragtag from all over the country will be uniformly reorganized and trained.  Compile and train more usable soldiers.  Yu Xuezhong was ordered to return to Qingdao and prepare to go south with Zhang Xinghan.  In the young marshal's house in Qingdao, Zhang Xinghan was writing a letter to Han Fuqu.  Liu Jianguo, Yu Xuezhong and others stood aside.  Not long after, Zhang Xing Hanbi Zonglongshen finished writing an autographed letter and handed it to Guo Zhong, whispering: "Give it to the Secrecy Bureau immediately and ask them to deliver it to Han Fuqu as quickly as possible." Guo Zhong took the order.  After leaving, Zhang Xinghan said to Liu Jianguo, Yu Xuezhong and others: "My dear friends, the situation in Jiaodong has been completely settled. The next step of our army's battle plan is to attack Lunan and Xuzhou, and then march to Anhui and Jiangsu, and go south along the Jinpu Railway.  " Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, Yu Xuezhong said: "Master, Han Fuqu is still resisting in the southwestern region of Shandong. Should we wait for him before heading south to Xuzhou to avoid worries?  The letter I just wrote was to Han Fuqu. Now most of Shandong has been pacified by our army, and only a few areas in southwestern Shandong such as Jining are left under his control. Shanxi and Henan have also been captured by our army. If he does not want his entire army to be annihilated.  "My promise to him is that as long as he surrenders, I can send him abroad, or he can be given a vacant position after the New Deal is reorganized in the future, which will be enough for him to retire." Zhang Xinghan said.  It would be considered as an act of benevolence and righteousness. Originally, he was not very interested in history as a true non-resistance general.  The reason why he was given a way to survive was because his political performance was pretty good during the many years he had been in charge of Shandong.  Otherwise, Zhang Xinghan does not recommend following Chairman Chiang’s example and killing him.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan had already made arrangements, Yu Xuezhong nodded and said nothing.  Zhang Xinghan continued: "Of course, just in case, if Han Fuqu refuses to surrender, we will capture Jining first and then go south to Xuzhou." Before Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.  When everyone heard the sound and took a look, they saw Guo Zhong leaving and coming back. They saluted Zhang Xinghan very excitedly and said, "Chief, sir, look who's coming." "Chief, Jianguo, I'm here!" Jiang Baili laughed heartily.  Passed in.  Talents come in huge strides.  "Chief of Staff, please take your seat!" Zhang Xinghan, Liu Jianguo and others quickly stepped forward to greet him.  Yu Xuezhong and other officers and generals who surrendered were also surprised. They had great respect for Jiang Baili, who was like a mountain in the military.  "Baili, why are you here?" Zhang Xinghan asked kindly, holding his hand.  "The matter in Taiyuan has basically been dealt with. Baili was worried that it would be too hard for one person in charge to take charge of the overall situation, so he came by plane." Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "Okay, I'm worried that no one can help me solve my problems." Zhang Xinghan laughed happily, then turned around and said: "By the way, Baili, let me introduce to you, this is Yu Xiaohou, General Yu." "I am humbled by Yu Xiaohou.  Xuezhong, I have seen General Jiang!" Yu Xuezhong quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.  "The general is a famous general of our Northeast Army. Today he has given up the dark side and turned to the bright side. His future is limitless." Jiang Baili looked up and down and said meaningfully.  Yu Xuezhong hurriedly said: "The general has been over-honored. Xiaohou is a warrior. Thanks to Commander-in-Chief Zhang, he will not give up. From now on, I can only do my best and serve the country." After some pleasantries, Jiang Baili cut into the topic and explained his purpose: "  Commander, our army won a complete victory in the Battle of Jiaodong and successfully pacified most of Shandong. What plans does Commander-in-Chief have next?  , went south along the Jinpu Railway, approaching Nanjing, forcing the Chairman to accept the proposal to reorganize the peace talks. "Jiang Baili frowned slightly and said: "Chief Executive, this is why Baili came here in such a hurry. According to the information obtained by the Secrecy Bureau, Commissioner Jiang.  While we were conquering East China and the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Guangxi Clan and the Central Army were deployed in the Huaihe River Basin and along the Yangtze River. As we all know, there are many water networks in the Jianghuai River Basin, which is different from the Thousand Miles of Plains in the north.  For our mechanized army, it will cause great disadvantages. If we follow normal tactics and gradually advance southward, it will inevitably lead to a long and protracted war of attrition. No matter which side wins in the end, it will be in vain for our Chinese nation.  "Precious national defense force." "Chief of Staff, do you have any good suggestions?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  &nbsp; Jiang Baili frowned and said thoughtfully: "Before I came here, I had a rather risky plan. I wonder if the chief still remembers the Opium War?" Zhang Xinghan is not very familiar with the Opium War, but he also knows a thing or two.  , not knowing what he meant, asked: "Baili, what do you mean?" During the First Opium War, the British invaders led more than 10,000 navy and army troops to invade the Yangtze River from Wusongkou, and finally went upstream.  Arriving at the Xiaguan waters, they cut off the Qing Dynasty's north-south arterial canal and forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Treaty of Nanjing, which was a humiliation and loss of power.  " Before Jiang Baili finished speaking, Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said: "I understand, Zhongzi, contact the Air Force immediately to dispatch a transport plane to Qingdao.  In addition, to generate electricity for the Navy, the battleship Wei Qing and other ships also temporarily canceled their eastward crossing to Kyushu Island, and immediately turned around and headed south along the coastline, aiming for Nanjing. The Air Force will fully assist. This time I want to capture the thief first and solve the reorganization issue in one fell swoop.  ” ps: There are two more updates today, this is the first update, please continue to ask for recommendation votes!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 494: Successful Reorganization (Part 1)

    Jining City, Han Fuqu's temporary headquarters.  Han Fuqu is drinking to drown his sorrows. The situation in Shandong is so sluggish that all his hard work over the years will soon come to nothing.  “In addition, he and Chairman Chiang have had deep grudges over the years, so once the Shandong territory is lost, the territory and the army are lost, Chairman Chiang will never tolerate him.  It’s not that Han Fuqu never thought of surrendering to Zhang Xinghan, but he just suffered from the lack of opportunity, so he surrendered rashly and lost face. Furthermore, he was worried that Zhang Xinghan would cross the river and burn the bridge.  After all, he was a high-profile opponent in this reorganization war.  "Chairman, Chairman, I just received news that Zhang Hanqing's Qingdao Army was defeated and he himself was captured by the Northeast Army. Now the entire Jiaodong Peninsula has fallen into the hands of the Northeast Army." An adjutant ran in to report in a panic.  Han Fuqu, who was already half-drunk, was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and said swaying slightly: "What did you say? Zhang Xueliang was defeated and captured?" The adjutant nodded to confirm.  Han Fuqu suddenly said as if he were mourning for his heir: "It's over. This time the Shandong war situation is completely over. I have worked hard for many years! It's just over." The adjutant said: "Chairman, don't be too busy to be depressed. I also received a letter from Northeast China.  A personal letter sent by the commander-in-chief Zhang Xinghan. "What? A personal letter from Zhang Xinghan?" Han Fuqu became more energetic when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Where is the letter?" The adjutant handed it to him!  He took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then handed it to the adjutant with some embarrassment and said, "Read it to me." The adjutant held back his laughter, took the message, and read it again in a decent manner.  After hearing this, Han Fuqu said with mixed feelings: "Zhang Xinghan actually took the initiative to write a letter to me to surrender. This is somewhat sincere." "Chairman, do you mean to accept the adaptation?" the adjutant asked.  Han Fuqu was hesitating.  Li Shuchun, a good friend and chief of staff, arrived.  Han Fuqu hurriedly waved to him and said: "Chief of Staff, come and tell me, shall we fight or surrender?" At that moment, he asked his adjutant to hand Zhang Xinghan's letter to Li Shuchun.  Wait until Li Shuchun reads it.  Han Fuqu then asked: "How is it? What do you think?" Li Shuchun said: "Chairman, it is the general trend to support reorganization. Now Zhang Gong controls the entire North China, Northeast China and North Korea, and also occupies the Central Plains. There are millions of troops under his command. And  He has made great achievements in the war of resistance against Japan, is very popular at home and abroad, and has won the hearts of the people. Moreover, in terms of military affairs, the situation in Shandong has become irreversible. Otherwise, the chairman should have chosen the outcome of peace talks.  Once the city of Jining is destroyed, everything will be over." "We have already surrendered. Zhang Xinghan may really be able to find a position for you, Chairman, after the reorganization is successful. It is too late, and the result is really hard to say. Chairman, please do not hesitate to call us to support the reorganization.  "Okay, Mr. Zhang." Han Fuqu was already a little moved. When Li Shuchun said these words, he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, just do as the chief of staff said, and immediately give the order to Sun Tongxuan. All troops will stop the confrontation and raise white flags to surrender.  In addition, it is up to you, Staff Officer Li, to handle the matter of powering on." Li Shuchun and the adjutant bowed their heads in response, turned around and quickly took the order to leave.  Late October of the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China.  Han Fuqu led his remaining troops to surrender to Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force, and issued a telegram in support of the reorganization, accusing the Nationalist government of corruption.  Shandong was completely pacified, and Zhang Xinghan sent Han Fuqu to Jilin to live temporarily. Like Zhang Hanqing, he was secretly monitored by the Secrecy Bureau.  Reorganized the remnants of Han Fuqu's Shandong Army and Shang Zhen's troops into one division.  Shang Zhen was appointed as the army commander, with two Category A divisions under his jurisdiction, with about 50,000 people. Li Shuchun and Sun Tongxuan served as division commanders and were under the control of the First Army.  After pacifying Shandong, three days after Zhang Xinghan surrendered at Han Fuqu, he led four divisions and a hundred thousand troops from Linyi and Zaozhuang to march towards Xuzhou in two directions.  In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Chairman Chiang followed the advice of Bai Chongxi and others and ordered the defenders in the Xuzhou area to withdraw south.  At the end of October of the 24th year of the Republic of China, under the order of Zhang Xinghan, Xu Yongchang led an army of 30,000 to be stationed in Xinyang to intimidate the three passes of Yiyang.  Yang Aiyuan and Liu Guodong led an army of 100,000 people from Zhoukou, an important town in eastern Henan, to march eastward along the Ying River. Within a few days, they descended to Shenqiu, Xiangcheng, and Jieshou, and reached Fuyang, an important town in northern Anhui.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan sent Zhang Tingshu to lead an army of 15,000 troops to pursue the Central Army who fled south in the Xuzhou area along the Jinpu Railway.  We also arrived at Huaiyuan, an important town north of the Huai River, which is already the Huai River defense line area of ??the Central Army.  The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. In the end, Zhang Tingshu suspended the attack due to lack of troops and waited for the arrival of the army.  &nbsp; Five days later, Liu Jianguo, together with Yu Xuezhong, Li Shuchun, Sun Tongxuan and others, led the main force to arrive at the Huaiyuan front line along the railway.  According to the battle plan formulated by Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan, they began to divide their troops and march westward along the Huaihe River. At the same time, Liu Guodong and Yang Aiyuan also divided their troops and marched eastward.  In early October, all the strongholds and support points of the Central Army north of the Huaihe River were basically wiped out.  Confronted with 200,000 Central Army troops across the river.  ……………Nanjing, Operations Department of the Central Military Commission.  Bai Chongxi stared at the map and said in confusion: "According to the information sent back by Gu Zhutong from the front line, the Northeastern Army has assembled more than 200,000 troops north of the Huaihe River. Of course, less than half of them are the real elite of the Northeastern Army.  But it’s not like they haven’t even launched a decent attack for many days. For the Northeast Army, which has absolute firepower advantages in land, sea and air, their actions are really intriguing. What does Zhang Xinghan want to do? "Commissioner Jiang sitting at the conference table.  Chang, Chen Cheng and other important officials and senior generals of the National Government were also confused.  Bai Chongxi, as smart as Zhuge Liang, could not guess Zhang Xinghan’s true intentions, let alone them.  Chen Cheng said: "Could it be that Zhang Xinghan thinks that the troops are insufficient and is drawing powerful reinforcements from Kyushu Island, North Korea and even the Northeast? After all, the Shandong Army and the Jinsui Army are newly attached, and their combat power is incomparable to the real Northeast Army.  " Bai Chongxi nodded slightly and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but this is not like Zhang Xinghan's style. Even if the real Northeastern Army on the north bank of the Huaihe River is less than 100,000, he should not be too timid to attack our army. "  Chairman Chiang who was silent now said: "Jiansheng, you have forgotten one thing. The Jinsui Army and the Shandong Army have just surrendered. How can Zhang Xinghan rest assured that he will use all his strength to attack our Huaihe defense line. What if the loss of his elite troops reaches  How do you know that the Jinsui Army and the Shandong Army will not rebel again? As for expelling the Jinsui Army and the Shandong Army as cannon fodder, it is even more difficult. In short, it is not easy for Zhang Xinghan to really defeat Yan Baichuan in such a short period of time.  It is impossible to tame the miscellaneous troops of Han Fuqu and even Zhang Hanqing to the same level as his direct descendants of the Northeast Army." Bai Chongxi nodded unequivocally.  He looked meaningfully at Chairman Chiang who said this, and thought to himself, you do understand people. In this regard, I am afraid no one can compare with you, President Chiang.  ……………… Qingdao, Young Marshal’s Mansion.  Zhang Xinghan was getting together with Jiang Baili.  Repeatedly discuss the battle plan they had formulated.  Guo Zhong strode in and said: "General seat, staff seat, the Navy has just sent a secret message. They have arrived at the sea off the Yangtze River Estuary and are ready to launch an attack at any time." Before Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had time to react.  Guo Zhong added: "However, they said that due to the restrictions in the waters of the Yangtze River, it may be difficult for our military's warships above 10,000 tons to participate in this battle. The most important one is probably the battleship Wei Qing. It is a big guy, with a tonnage of  More than 50,000 tons." Zhang Xinghan said with a regretful expression: "Then let it stay in the open sea and keep an eye on any Chinese and foreign ships in Shanghai Port." Jiang Baili said: "With the strength of our naval fleet, even if there are none.  It is not a problem for the battleship Wei Qing to break through the weak defense of the Central Army. The key is that after the naval fleet arrives in Nanjing waters, it should immediately send marines to land, and then the naval fleet should blockade the upstream and downstream areas of Nanjing waters within two hundred miles.  "This should not be a problem. I have asked Gao Zhihang to dispatch 300 fighter planes to participate in this beheading operation. With their assistance in the air, dozens of fighters north of the Yangtze River will be able to attack Nanjing."  No one from the Central Army will even think about the Yangtze River," Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  Jiang Baili nodded slightly and said: "Then the next step is to see the joint operation between the airborne brigade and the Marine Corps. According to the information sent back by the Secrecy Bureau, there should be about one division of the garrison in Nanjing now, and there are also a large number of military police and military police in the city.  , The total strength of our army should be about 20,000. The strength of the original Qingdao Marine Corps that was just reorganized this time is about 7,000. Although there are some shortages in strength.  With the strong firepower assistance of the navy and air force, and a surprise attack, the possibility of success is very high. In addition, the nearest reinforcements to Nanjing are in Changzhou, which is more than 120 kilometers away. As long as we dispatch more aircraft to march there.  Carrying out air strikes and sabotage along the way will greatly delay their time to reinforce Nanjing. This should be enough for us to do whatever we want to do." "Staff.??, don't forget one thing, that is, once our army suddenly arrives at Nanjing and surrounds it, the dignitaries in Nanjing will definitely be panicked. At that time, someone will naturally persuade Chairman Chiang to step down, or agree to reorganize a new army.  government.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "The commander-in-chief is wise. Once the reorganization is successful, our army's efforts in the past few months will be in vain.  "Jiang Baili said with rare praise. "Now there is one thing. I want to hear your opinion, Chief of Staff.  Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "How will Chairman Chiang be treated if our military's strategic intentions are successfully realized?"  " Jiang Baili said: "Chief Sir, please forgive Baili for making it clear that although the National Government is in turmoil, Mr. Jiang also has its advantages. His presence is conducive to unity and stability of the new government.  In particular, it is extremely important to appease nearly one million Central Army. In addition, you can explain to the local strength factions in the southwest. You have a sincere reform, not for one fell swoop.  We will not harm them in vain, so as to dispel their concerns and make them comply with the general trend of reorganization and agree to reorganization to avoid the pain of another war in the southwest.  Therefore, I suggest that the president can choose those Republican elders who are sincere for the country and have been honest throughout their lives to be in power with Mr. Chiang, and discuss all major military and national affairs.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this and said: "What the chief of staff said makes sense, and that's what I planned too.  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 495: Successful Reorganization (Part 2)

    In mid-November of the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the Northeastern Army and the Central Army were still facing each other across the Huaihe River Basin.  The Northeastern Navy Fleet, with more than 50 large and small warships, under the cover of naval battleships and air force, successfully broke through Wusongkou and destroyed Wusongkou's old fort positions.  Going up the river, with the Air Force opening the way, the Northeast warships with a tonnage of less than 5,000 to 6,000 sailed to the Zhenjiang and Jiangyin fortresses in one day. After more than ten hours of sailing at full speed, they arrived at the Xiaguan waters and were immediately covered by the Air Force.  Next, we started to land at Yanziji.  The entire city of Nanjing was shaken.  The atmosphere in the operations hall of the Military Commission was very solemn. Chen Cheng advised earnestly: "Commissioner, the 1st Division is blocking the attack at Xiaguan, but the rebels' naval and air force firepower is too fierce, and the soldiers have suffered too many casualties. We simply cannot hold on."  "How long will it take? You'd better evacuate as soon as possible." Due to the rapid progress of the Northeast Navy, there is no time for the big guys in Nanjing to retreat.  If we can get the news two or three days in advance, we can basically evacuate.  "However, time is so short now that we can't withdraw even if we want to."  You must know that the evacuation of Nanjing City is not as simple as Chairman Chiang and a group of guards evacuating.  This is the capital of the National Government, and government agencies at all levels can be withdrawn at any time.  Of course, if Chairman Chiang is determined to withdraw alone with the guards, it will be fine, but once he gives up the capital, it is likely to be equivalent to giving up power.  The thrown-out party-state bosses and senior officials at all levels are likely to turn to Zhang Xinghan and directly carry out reorganization, expelling him as chairman and even his party membership.  Therefore, Chairman Chiang cannot easily escape alone.  Bai Chongxi stood aside.  His face was a little ugly. As the chief of staff, he failed to guess the intentions of the Northeast Army, which led to their sudden attack on the city, putting him in extreme danger.  There is an unshirkable responsibility.  At this moment, the captain of the bodyguard Wang Shihe walked in hurriedly, lowered his head and whispered to the chairman of the committee.  Chairman Jiang's face became obviously pale, and then he said seductively to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, there is no need to report such an important matter to me alone. Tell it to everyone." Wang Shihe felt bitter in his heart.  Opening the telegram, he read: "To Chairman Jun Jian, Xinghan had no intention of raising troops. It was actually forced by the situation. Today's situation has shown that the reorganization of a new government is the general trend. This is something that 40 million people are looking forward to. Chairman  Taking the national plan as the top priority, we agreed to the reorganization and ordered the Central Army and the Guangxi Army to stop resistance immediately. I will go to Nanjing in person to discuss with you and hold a reorganization meeting." Wang Shihe said this.  The scene was completely silent, everyone looked very ugly and did not dare to say anything for fear that if they said the wrong thing, they would be killed.  They all turned their attention to Chairman Chiang who was sitting dangerously.  At this moment, another chamberlain came over in a panic and reported: "Commissioner, the first division has been defeated by the rebels, Xiaguan Pier has been captured by the rebels, and Yanziji has been lost. The rebels are now divided into two groups.  They are encircling Nanjing from the north and south. In addition, a large number of rebel paratroopers were also found in the west of the city, and they were airborne." This report by the chamberlain caused a rapid change in the mood of everyone present, and some were still taking chances.  All hopes of senior generals were dashed.  His face was ashen.  After a long time, Chairman Chiang sighed helplessly and said: "That's it, the matter is over. Please reply to Zhang Xinghan and ask him to come to Nanjing." November 15th, the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China.  The Northeast Army’s army, navy and air force surrounded Nanjing, forcing Chairman Chiang to agree to Zhang Xinghan’s reorganization proposal.  At the same time, the Central Army in the direction of the Central Plains and the Huaihe River was ordered to stop resisting.  He also ordered the cancellation of the policy of suppressing the Communist Party. Zhang Xinghan also ordered all units of the Northeastern Army to stand by in place. On the 16th, the Marine Corps and the Airborne Brigade took control of Nanjing Airport and Nanjing City Defense.  On the same day, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and other generals flew to Nanjing.  The next day, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren and other local officials also flew to Nanjing.  Zhang Xinghan sent people to contact the Red Army leaders Mao Gong, Zhou Gong, Zhu Gong and others who had just completed the Long March and arrived in northern Shaanxi, and invited them to come to Nanjing to attend a meeting to reorganize the new government.  History said that the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.  Three days later, on November 19, the reorganization meeting officially began.  After nearly ten days of discussion and research, the strength of warlords in various places, various political parties, and non-party people finally fully agreed to Zhang Xinghan’s proposal to conduct a popular vote to form a new National Government.  The true meaningWe must fully implement the Three People's Principles of the Founding Father, Dr. Sun Yat-sen.  Two months later, the popular vote was basically over. The results of the vote were that Zhang Xinghan was elected as the chairman of the Military Commission, with Jiang Gong, Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Gong as the vice chairman.  Yan Xishan is the executive president, Mao Gong and Zhou Gong are the vice presidents.  Zhang Xinghan is a non-party person, and he became chairman entirely because of his huge military exploits and reputation.  In addition, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng and other generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were elected as members of the Military Commission.  Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang and other local warlords were elected as ministers of various ministries of the Executive Yuan, as were Liu Gong and Deng Gong.  After the reorganization of the power agencies was completed, the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan began to uniformly reorganize the local armies.  At this time, the Northeast Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, Shandong Army, Guangxi Army, Sichuan Army and other central armies and miscellaneous armies from all over the country totaled more than 4 million and 30 people in the army, and more than 100,000 people in the air force and navy.  A total of more than 450 people.  ??Among them, the Northeast Army created by Zhang Xinghan accounted for more than a quarter of the army and all of the navy and air force.  After reorganization, the name of the army was still the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.  The army was organized into four major front armies and one dispatched army.  Respectively, the Northeast Front Army is the First Front Army. The commander-in-chief of the front army is Huang Xiansheng, deputy commander Liu Guodong, chief of staff Zhang Tingshu, and deputy chief of staff Shen Ke.  The commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, the Second Front Army, is Chen Cheng, and the deputy commander-in-chiefs are Liu Bocheng and Hu Zongnan.  The Central Plains Front Army.  That is the 3rd Front Army.  The Southern Front Army is the Fourth Front Army, and its commander-in-chief is Xue Yue.  Each front army has an army of one million under its jurisdiction. Among them, the main jurisdiction of the first front army is the four northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula.  The main jurisdiction of the Second Front Army is north of the Yellow River and within the Great Wall.  Including Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and the five northwest provinces, Pingjin and other vast areas.  The main jurisdiction of the Third Front Army is the Central Plains region and the western region, including Henan.  Anhui, Shaanxi, Tibet, and Xinjiang.  The area under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Front Army is mainly the area south of the Yangtze River, including the southeastern coast, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces in the southwest.  Since the current strength of the armies of each front is not equal, so.  Zhang Xinghan issued an order after deliberation by the Military Commission, and the troops from various regions complemented each other.  Among them, mainly the troops from the Central Plains and Jiangnan Fronts moved northward, while Zhang Xinghan’s original Northeastern Army was almost not mobilized.  A dispatched force refers to the more than 600,000 navy, land and air force stationed on Kyushu Island in Japan.  The commander-in-chief is Wang Yizhe, who is specifically responsible for the battle against Japan and ensuring the control of Kyushu Island at this stage.  As for the Air Force, the Air Force Command was established.  Gao Zhihang is the commander-in-chief of the National Air Force, followed by Liu Cuigang.  The former Northeast Air Force was split and established directly under the air force branches of the four front armies.  In Nanjing City, Zhang Xinghan was meeting with Duke Zhou, the representative of the Red Army.  As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan still respects the great men in history.  "Chairman Zhang, you understand the great righteousness and put the country and the nation first. On behalf of our party and all proletarian comrades, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Duke Zhou extended his hand to Zhang Xinghan in a friendly manner.  Zhang Xinghan hurriedly shook hands with him and said: "Duke Zhou has thanked you. Everything Xinghan did was based on his own conscience. All I want is the rejuvenation of China, national independence, national unity, and territorial integrity."  At the same time, Chairman Chiang was at his official residence in Tangshan.  After reorganization.  Zhang Xinghan did not take any measures against Chairman Chiang, but Chairman Chiang was still depressed. He lived alone in the Tangshan Hot Spring Villa and ignored political affairs.  Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and other close friends often accompanied him.  "Commissioner, if the current situation is like this, don't worry too much about it. Your health is the most important thing." Chen Cheng advised.  "Ci Xiu is right. I see what Zhang Xinghan did. After the reorganization, there are no signs of dictatorship. There are no major changes to the original Central Army units. Everything is reasonable. Please be more open-minded about the appointment.  "Okay." He Yingqin nodded.  Two months later, the popular vote was basically over. The results of the vote were that Zhang Xinghan was elected as the chairman of the Military Commission, with Jiang Gong, Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Gong as the vice chairman.  Yan Xishan is the executive president, Mao Gong and Zhou Gong are the vice presidents.  Zhang Xinghan is a non-party person, and he became chairman entirely because of his huge military exploits and reputation.  In addition, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng and other generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were elected as members of the Military Commission.  Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang and other local warlords were elected to various ministries of the Executive Yuan.Chief, Liu Gong and Deng Gong were also selected.  After the reorganization of the power agencies was completed, the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan began to uniformly reorganize the local armies.  At this time, the Northeast Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, Shandong Army, Guangxi Army, Sichuan Army and other central armies and miscellaneous armies from all over the country totaled more than 4 million and 30 people in the army, and more than 100,000 people in the air force and navy.  A total of more than 450 people.  ??Among them, the Northeast Army created by Zhang Xinghan accounted for more than a quarter of the army and all of the navy and air force.  After reorganization, the name of the army was still the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.  The army was organized into four major front armies and one dispatched army.  Respectively, the Northeast Front Army is the First Front Army. The commander-in-chief of the front army is Huang Xiansheng, deputy commander Liu Guodong, chief of staff Zhang Tingshu, and deputy chief of staff Shen Ke.  The commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, the Second Front Army, is Chen Cheng, and the deputy commander-in-chiefs are Liu Bocheng and Hu Zongnan.  The Central Plains Front Army is the 3rd Front Army.  The Southern Front Army is the Fourth Front Army, and its commander-in-chief is Xue Yue.  Each front army has an army of one million under its jurisdiction. Among them, the main jurisdiction of the first front army is the four northeastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula.  The main jurisdiction of the Second Front Army is north of the Yellow River and within the Great Wall, including Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and the five northwest provinces, Pingjin and other vast areas.  The main jurisdiction of the Third Front Army is the Central Plains and Western Regions, including Henan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Tibet, and Xinjiang.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 496: Armed Forces Preparation (1)

    Zhang Xinghan stayed in Nanjing for about a month and a half, after the operations of various agencies of the new government basically remained stable.  So he took a plane back to Jilin in Northeast China. In any case, Jilin today is still the center of the world's military affairs, especially military and heavy industry enterprises.  After these two years of war, Zhang Xinghan increasingly found that his air force, especially the airborne troops, was still too weak.  There is only one airborne group left.  As for the navy, although some time ago it produced a batch of small and medium-sized battleships such as the battleship Wei Qing from watches.  But the overall tonnage is still far behind the naval powers of Western powers, such as the United Kingdom and the United States.  In the naval battle with the Japanese, the Northeast China Sea Air Force and submarine forces were able to rely on their qualitative advantages to offset the overall quantity and tonnage gap between the two sides and achieve victory.  “But established Western powers like the United Kingdom and the United States, especially maritime hegemons like the United Kingdom, have very complete industrial and military systems.  The overall level is also significantly higher than that of Japan, and the war potential is not even on the same level.  Therefore, in the future, it will become extremely difficult to win by using quality to offset quantity advantage.  Because the gap between the two has become so large that it cannot be made up by individual advantages.  “The previous battle between the Northeast Navy and Air Force and the Japanese Navy and Air Force was like ten burly men fighting fifty little kids in their teens.  Among the ten big men, there are two who are good at underwater and aerial skills.  Such a victory or defeat is self-evident.     but.  With the current strength of the National Revolutionary Army, if it encounters a war with the British and American powers.  That would be like ten strong men beating a hundred young men of fifteen or sixteen years old.  "One, two, two or three and a half big men may not be able to beat the former, but five, ten, or twenty can beat one."  The result is hard to say.     and.  The opponent may also mobilize hundreds or even thousands of half-sized men behind them, and even as the battle progresses, the half-sized men may be upgraded into burly men who can be put into battle.  In that case, the Chinese team will definitely lose.  Even ships, planes, artillery and ammunition, and oil can be provided by Zhang Xinghan for free as much as possible.  But the gap in the overall industrial level and military system is still there.  China's air force and navy have too few professional reserves.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan’s visit to Jilin this time is to train airborne troops, navy and air force professionals on a large scale.  Now under the leadership of the new government, China has completed de facto reunification, and the soil is ready for the large-scale construction of various professional military schools to train professional talents in various arms.  As long as these plans are put into action.  Then within a few years.  China's population advantage can be seen in the fact that we have 40 million people.  The talent potential that can be tapped is endless.  Jiang Baili and Guo Zhong naturally returned to Jilin with Zhang Xinghan.  If the single biggest loophole in this reorganization of the new government is Jiang Baili, the Chief of General Staff of the Northeastern Army.  During the reorganization, it was not that he was not considered. Even at Zhang Xinghan's suggestion, the Military Commission was ready to appoint him as the chief of staff of the army, navy and air force.  He also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission.  But Jiang Baili was unwilling to take up the post and expressed his disapproval to Zhang Xinghan.  If he was forced to take office, he would rather retire to the mountains and forests and no longer interfere with the country's military.  In the end, Zhang Xinghan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and appoint him as his staff adjutant and core staff member.  After Zhang Xinghan returned to Jilin, within a few days, the awarding results from the National Government came out.  In addition to the original Yan Xishan, He Yingqin, Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang, Zhang Xueliang, Hu Zongnan and other army generals.  New army generals such as Wang Yaowu, Tang Enbo, Du Yuming, Guan Linzheng, Gu Zhutong, Xue Yue, Liu Bocheng, and Peng Dehuai were added.  It is worth mentioning that Zhang Lingfu was promoted to Army Lieutenant General. He is the fastest rising star to be promoted in a short period of time in recent years except Zhang Xinghan.  After returning to Jilin, Zhang Xinghan stayed home for two days. After all, he went south for reorganization and had not found a home for nearly four months.  My wife and children are all panicking.  “In addition, the Lunar New Year is coming soon, and now that everything is stable in the country, Zhang Xinghan can finally have a happy and relaxing reunion year with his family.  In the courtyard of the Zhang family, Zhang Xinghan was teasing his pair of children. The two chubby little guys were learning to talk, and they could shout out a few sentences of dad in front of them inarticulately.  In the kitchen, his wife Wang Ruoying is preparing meals with her mother-in-law.  At this time, my father Zhang Yuxi said:He walked out of the living room holding a cigarette in one hand and a chess set in the other. He smiled at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Xinghan, do you have time? Come and play a game with me when you have time." Zhang Xinghan held one in each hand, holding one in each hand.  The two little guys responded and came over.  After sitting down, Zhang Yuxi asked: "There are only a few days until the New Year. When will your brother come back?"  He is stationed on Kyushu Island, implementing the strategic plan for the blockade against Japan, and is busy with military affairs. But I have called him two days ago, and I think he will be able to arrange his work in the next two days. " "Oh," Zhang.  Yu Xi smoked a dry cigarette and nodded.  "Master, don't smoke in front of your grandchildren. Doctors have said it is bad for your children's health." At this time, Liu Liping walked out of the kitchen carrying a hot dish. She happened to see the two men playing chess and couldn't help but tell her.  .  Zhang Yuxi laughed twice: "Okay, I won't smoke, I won't smoke." After saying that, he took out the tobacco from the pipe.  Just after dinner, Guo Zhong walked in excitedly, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commissioner, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, and Wang Longxiang are all here." "Oh? Have you informed the chief of staff?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Well, we have been notified. The chief of staff is at the headquarters now." Guo Zhong nodded and replied.  "Okay, let's go over now. Wait a minute for my clothes." Zhang Xinghan turned back to the house, took a winter military coat, said goodbye to his family, and got into the car at the door with Guo Zhong.  We walked quickly all the way to the headquarters.  Since the capital of the country is still in Nanjing for the time being, and the headquarters of the Military Commission is also located in Nanjing, the office of Chairman Zhang Xinghan is also in Nanjing.  The former commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army based in Jilin has become his base in Jilin.  Arriving at the headquarters, Jiang Baili, Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Wang Longxiang and others had been waiting for a long time.  Hearing the footsteps, they came out and saluted.  Wang Longxiang called the chief seat, and Liu Cuigang joked: "Long Xiang, your title is wrong. Now you have to call the chairman, or the committee member." Wang Longxiang smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, I was quick to speak, but I said  "Wrong, don't blame me!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand, inviting everyone to come into the conference room and sit down. The orderly had already brought hot tea.  The weather in the Northeast in December is still very cold. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as dripping water turning into ice.  A brazier was lit in the conference room, the coals in the brazier burned red, and the room was as warm as spring.  "It's still warm in the house. It's too cold in the Northeast. When I came here, it also snowed in Nanjing, but the temperature was much warmer than in the Northeast." Liu Cuigang said.  Gao Zhihang said: "That's natural, the difference is thousands of miles. If you go further southeast to Guangzhou, you can just wear a single coat at this time, unlike us, each one is wrapped like a big fat rice dumpling."  After finishing, Gao Zhihang also pulled off the three layers of clothes on his body.  "Okay, let's talk about old times later. Let's get down to business first." Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, tell them." Jiang Baili nodded and said to Wang Longxiang and others: "I've called you here this time.  Jilin, the main purpose is to deploy the next phase of tasks for you. The government has been reorganized and the four major front armies have been established. They are all under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission, but your air force and airborne troops still only need to be responsible to one person, Long Xiang.  In view of the great role your airborne troops have played in several battles in the past, it was decided after discussions between me and the committee to separate the airborne troops from the air force and establish a new branch with a commander.  The Ministry, with you as the commander, will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission. After the New Year, the Committee will mobilize the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan to merge the Longxing and Huangpu Military Academies and establish additional branches across the country.  All middle-level and even high-level officers who have attended military academies will be sent to military academies in batches for further studies. At the same time, each military academies will also set up special selection classes for the air force, navy and airborne troops, and the members will be selected from the four major armies.  The best talented personnel are trained in military academies. Due to the shortage of airborne personnel in our country, all airborne troops will not be assigned to serve as airborne instructors in various military academies in the future unless there are special circumstances.  , train more airborne personnel for our country in large batches. The same goes for the Air Force and Navy. After the first year of training period, you can start.Professional airborne classes at various military academies select qualified airborne cadets to expand the airborne force.  " Wang Longxiang nodded and expressed understanding. Zhang Xinghan added to Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang: "You two should also seize more time and train more pilots for the motherland.  I believe you all know that in the wars of the current era, the air force plays a vital role in the victory or defeat of the war.  " "Now that you, Lao Gao and Lao Liu, have become the commanders and deputy commanders of the Air Force, you must be careful in dealing with all aspects of human relations in the future to avoid being caught."  “After all, it’s very cold at high places, so it will be difficult for me to do it.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered." "Please rest assured, sir, we will do our best to do our job well." The two of them nodded in unison.  "Well." Zhang Xinghan said: "By the way, there is one more thing. The navy also wants to form a sea-based aviation force affiliated with them. This will make it easier to deal with future wars. You also need to give us more support and don't make small calculations."

    I spent a happy New Year with my family in Jilin. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xinghan left Jilin with Jiang Baili, Guo Zhong, Shen Xingye and others.  Firstly, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in Nanjing. Secondly, since Zhang Xinghan has now become the new chairman, people from all walks of life in the Northeast, especially Liaoning, rush to give gifts.  Nominally, he came to visit his father, Zhang Yuxi, but his intentions were well known to everyone on the road.  In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Xinghan ordered the Secrecy Bureau to secretly protect his home, and asked his father Zhang Yuxi to only see guests and not accept gifts.  After all, the new government has just been established. As the chairman of the Military Commission, he is recognized as the most powerful figure in the country.  Zhang Xinghan still needs to pay attention to his influence, lead by example, and set a good example for the ruling party in the future.  Maybe the greater the power, the greater the responsibility on the shoulders.  When he first traveled through time, he only thought about how he could do his part to protect the lives and property of the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City.  Now all he thinks about is if the Chinese nation, which has lagged behind the Western powers for nearly two centuries, can catch up or even surpass it.  In fact, he also knows that the best solution is war. War is destruction and the beginning of revival.  Zhang Xinghan is not a person who is greedy for power. After getting to this point in the Republic of China, his personal safety is no longer a problem.  His biggest wish now is to complete as soon as possible the grand plan of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and returning to the top of the world. ?????????????????? Then find a place where peace can be maintained forever for these subordinates who have opened up territories with themselves and fought bloody battles, as well as their descendants.  Then take your loved ones to enjoy the beauty and prosperity of this world, and grow old slowly with your loved ones.  When Zhang Xinghan returned to Nanjing, he was greeted at the airport by Yan Xishan, President of the Executive Yuan, Zhu Gong and Li Zongren, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Bai Chongxi, who also serves as Chief of Staff, and other military and political officials.  As the new government.  Jiang Gong, whose strength was second only to Zhang Xinghan, did not come. Instead, he sent two army generals, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, his confidants.  After everyone exchanged greetings, when it was their turn to shake hands with Chen Cheng and He Yingqin, Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile: "Why don't you see Mr. Jiang?" He Yingqin said in a respectful tone: "You don't know something, Mr. Jiang was unwell a few years ago.  Now he has returned to his hometown in Fenghua to recuperate. Due to physical inconvenience, he asked me and Cixiu to come to greet you when you return to Ning. " Zhang Xinghan said oh, nodded and said: "Then please ask General He and General Chen to report to Mr. Jiang on my behalf.  I would like to express my condolences and ask Mr. Jiang to take good care of himself. The country still has many important things waiting for him to contribute. I will definitely come to Fenghua to visit him in person. "In this reorganization and change, it seems that the biggest gain has been achieved.  Yan Xishan, the president of the Executive Yuan, came up with a smile and said: "Commissioner, it is very windy and cold at the airport. In my opinion, we should go back to Nanjing first. Then we can discuss important matters." Regarding Yan Xishan's election as the president of the Executive Yuan,  Zhang Xinghan also wanted to check and balance the Gui clique and the Central Army faction.  Yan Xishan’s Jinsui Army has basically ceased to exist. Even if he were to become the president of the Executive Yuan, he would have no real power.  “After all, in this era, without the support of a gun, what can he, the president of the Executive Yuan, do?  “However, if we let the Guangxi Department or the Central Department serve as the President of the Executive Yuan.  That may create unpredictable hidden dangers.  Because the Guangxi Army and the Central Army have openly agreed to support the formation of the new government, but most of them are still under the control of Jiang Gong and Li Zongren.  “In particular, both Jiang Gong and Li Zongren were elected to the position of vice chairman of the Military Commission, second only to Zhang Xinghan.  Now the people of the country hope to achieve peace and reunification so that the country can develop vigorously, and it was under this slogan that Zhang Xinghan put forward the reorganization proposal.  At this time, it is not appropriate to use the Central Army and the troops under the Guangxi clique. If a civil war breaks out, the new government will immediately fall apart.  What the wise will not take.  As long as I am the chairman of the committee for a day.  Then he is the top military leader of the new National Government and the nominal commander-in-chief of the country's army, navy and air force.  He had the convenience of Cao Cao coercing the emperor to control the princes. With the establishment of various front armies, mutual defense changes, and the internal development of the country.  Zhang Xinghan is confident that as time goes by.  Gradually change the situation of numerous factions and turn them into a true national revolutionary army.  The best way is to engage in foreign war, because war is a melting pot.  The best way to change the internal factions and inconsistent military orders in the army is to bring together all the people from all over the country.The collection is unified by the Ministry of Finance under the Executive Yuan.  Without fiscal revenue, military expenditures for troops stationed in various places must be uniformly distributed by the government, so the unification of military and political orders will not be a problem.  This will inevitably be opposed by the Central Clique headed by Jiang Gong and the Guangxi Clique headed by Li Bai, as well as warlords in the southwest and other regions, such as Liu Xiang and others.  It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xinghan brought the Red Army faction into the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.  With their support and the support of northern faction figures such as Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu, the difficulty of implementing fiscal unification will be much smaller.  This time, Zhang Xinghan’s primary purpose when he returned to Nanjing was to solve this problem.  Ningbo, Fenghua, Jiang Gong’s residence.  In a secret conference room, Wang Zhaoming was persuading Mr. Jiang: "Zhongzheng, are you so willing to hand over power to the traitor Zhang Xinghan?" Seeing that Mr. Jiang did not speak, Wang Zhaoming continued: "Not only did he take away your committee membership,  He took the military power in his hands and directly participated in the core of the military and political affairs. The Nationalist Government will change its surname before long.  " "That's enough, don't say any more." Mr. Jiang's brows were obviously filled with displeasure and boredom.  Wang Zhaoming's face was livid with anger, and he snorted and turned away. In this reorganization, he, the original Executive Dean, was directly dismissed from his post, and he was not even retained in the Executive Yuan.  It was like Zhang Xinghan kicked him out directly and excluded him from the core scope of power.  Everyone made a lot of money, but Wang Jingwei, the drafter of the will of the founding father and a veteran of the party and state, overnight.  Nothing left.  Therefore, he was really angry. No, just after the New Year, he and his wife Chen Bijun quietly arrived in Fenghua.  In name, it was to visit Mr. Jiang, who claimed to be ill.  Secretly, he actually came to instigate and instigate Jiang Gong to rebel against Zhang Xinghan and remove Zhang Xinghan from power.  "As long as you agree with Zhongzheng, I will contact the Guangxi clique, Guangdong, Guangxi and the southwestern provinces, and we will unite. Even if we cannot defeat Zhang Xinghan's Northeastern Army, we can at least occupy half of the country, right? It is still better than relying on others now." Jiang Gong sighed,  After all, Wang Zhaoming is a member of the party and has great connections and reputation within the Kuomintang. He said that he should not ignore him too much. After all, he may be able to use it in the future.  Okay. It's not appropriate to offend him. So he said: "Ji Xin, I understand your intentions, but the situation in the country is different now. Since the success of the Northern Expedition, the warlords have been fighting, and the country has been fighting for years. People are worried.     and.  Although Zhang Xinghan was elected as the new chairman of the committee, he did not take any excessive actions. If he rashly raises troops, it will be true and may also cause people who hope for peace and the general public to cast aside.  By then, we will truly have nothing.  Now, no matter what, the fiscal revenue and local government management of the areas south of the Yangtze River are still in our own hands. ? Among them, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Jiangxi are currently the most affluent areas in China.  We can say that we control China’s economic lifeline, as long as we have this in hand.  There is still a chance for everything.  “Moreover, Zhang Xinghan has withdrawn from our party and became a non-party person, and has failed to compete with you and me for the chairmanship.  This is also extremely beneficial to us, so all we need to do now is hibernate.  Wait for the opportunity to appear.  " Mr. Jiang's words suddenly made Wang Zhaoming, who was eager to take revenge, suddenly realize. He nodded silently and said nothing more. At this time, Mrs. Jiang and Chen Bijun came hand in hand. The former smiled elegantly and said: "Da  Ling, have you reached an agreement?  After we've agreed, let's go over and eat. The kitchen is ready.  " Chen Bijun also smiled and said: "Madam personally ordered the kitchen to cook Ji Xin and Zhongzheng's favorite dishes.  " "Ji Xin, just have a couple of drinks with me today. You know, I usually don't drink.  "Mr. Jiang felt a little depressed and said with a rare smile. "Well, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you.  Wang Zhaoming replied with a hearty smile. …………… In Nanjing City, Zhang Xinghan, Yan Xishan and other government officials were having dinner in a large room of the Executive Yuan. After all, it was the beginning of the new year and Zhang Xinghan was elected.  It was the first New Year for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. At the dinner table, a group of government officials took turns toasting to Zhang Xinghan, and before he knew it, Zhang Xinghan was drunk.After eating, Minister of Finance Song Ziwen said that he had prepared a dance and invited everyone to go. Of course, the first person invited was Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan's heart was clear, but he waved his hands in a deliberately drunk manner: "No, I did drink a bit too much today. I have to go back and rest. Colleagues, please feel free to do whatever you want." Song Ziwen said quickly: "Chairman, you are a huge drinker. That's it.  What's the point of having a drink? This dance is specially held for you. If you don't go, what's the point of going to the colleagues present?" After saying that, Song Ziwen whispered again: "I specially invited the famous actress.  Hu Die, as well as the rich and famous ladies from Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, are all very excited. "The Chairman is such a young and handsome man. Everyone wants to see his true face! Please, Chairman, be sure to show your appreciation." Yan Xishan and others also followed suit.  , and finally Zhang Xinghan reluctantly agreed, and everyone was very happy. When they left, no one noticed the sly sneer that inadvertently showed at the corner of Zhang Xinghan's mouth.  ps: There was only one update yesterday, as is the old rule, and we will make up for three updates today. This is the first update. The coding will be completed at 2:12 in the morning, and the time is 8:00 in the morning. The next two chapters should be released in the afternoon to evening.  It’s the last day of this week, please vote for me!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.

    The ball was held in a hotel owned by foreigners. In the bustling scene, young ladies wearing noble silk cheongsams and men in suits and leather shoes gathered together in twos and threes to discuss their respective topics.  . Before Zhang Xinghan and his party arrived, Shen Xingye had already instructed his men to arrive first with the elite agents from the Secrecy Bureau.  The dance venue and even the entire hotel building were searched as well as any surrounding buildings that might be ambush.  After confirming that it was safe, Zhang Xinghan and others arrived happily.  "Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Chairman Zhang, is here!" Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Song Ziwen and others, had just entered the hotel door when someone immediately announced loudly.  The men and women in the lobby immediately stopped making noise and looked at Zhang Xinghan.  Among them, some socialites from the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas have long heard about Zhang Xinghan, who is younger and more promising than the original Marshal Zhang, and now they have seen Zhang Xinghan with their own eyes.  Seeing that he was so young and handsome, sitting in his current position, his eyes gradually became blurry and hot.  For a time, there were frequent glances.  Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Xinghan waved to the men and women present.  While walking towards the inside, Song Ziwen bowed his waist and held his hands solemnly from time to time to guide the way.  Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Xinghan, Song Ziwen, Yan Xishan and others came to a round platform in the center of the lobby. There were three old-fashioned microphones placed on the round platform.  Zhang Xinghan took a slight look at the round platform at his feet. It looked a bit like the D-stage in bars and nightclubs in later generations.  "Everyone, we are honored to have Commander-in-Chief Zhang come to our ball today. Next, Commander-in-Chief Zhang will give us a speech." Song Ziwen's voice was full of passion, and he looked around at the celebrities in a circle.  Feeling quite proud in my heart, I turned around and bowed my hands respectfully to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, took a step forward, and said: "Everyone, I am very happy to meet you here tonight" After some beautiful words, the dance was announced. Zhang Xinghan showed his approachable side, and even more  Many ladies with different thoughts took courage and boldly walked up to him and invited him to dance.  Zhang Xinghan smiled awkwardly, apologized to Yan Xishan and other executive Yuan bosses, and then led a graceful lady with skin like snow, wearing a decent water-red cheongsam, onto the dance floor.  Although the woman who invited him to dance is quite beautiful and has a good figure, Zhang Xinghan has something on his mind and has no interest in thinking about it.  Even when she was dancing, her hand accidentally touched the tall and straight part of someone's chest without noticing it, which made this beautiful lady's delicate body tremble slightly and her cheeks turn red with embarrassment.  Zhang Xinghan looked outside from time to time, wondering why no one was there yet.  Women are very thoughtful, and she quickly sensed that Zhang Xinghan didn't care.  Although the man in front of her now stands at the pinnacle of power in China, and he is so young and outstanding, she always believes in the saying that heroes love beauties since ancient times.  If she had not been very confident in her figure and appearance, she would not have taken the initiative to invite the outstanding man in front of her, who controls the lives and deaths of millions of people, to dance at this moment of public attention.  Her figure is indeed very hot. She has the plump buttocks, towering breasts, waist as thin as a willow, and round and slender legs that a woman should have.  Especially, tonight she wore a pair of high heels that were 20 centimeters long, which made her two slender white legs look very sexy.  The water-red cheongsam is also a red style with high slits reaching the thighs. Due to the straight hips, the cheongsam, which is not too long, is stretched so that the slits are slightly open.  As she moved with the dance steps, her two well-proportioned and slender white legs were exposed to the air from time to time, which was very sexy.  Aren’t you attractive enough to him?  With a pique in mind, the woman quietly approached Zhang Xinghan with her body that was coveted by countless dignitaries in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, as well as by dandies, as if she wanted to lean on his shoulders.  The woman smelled very fragrant, and it was so fragrant that it was inevitable that she would feel a little distracted. As her body approached quietly, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.  Before Zhang Xinghan could react, the woman said: "Chairman, I heard that the general is only thirty years old. I wonder if he can get a wife at home?" Zhang Xinghan came to his senses and said, "Oh, I already have a wife." Unexpectedly  Zhang Xinghan suddenly gave a straightforward answer, and the woman's beautiful cheeksA flash of embarrassment flashed through his face, and he nodded with a blush.  But with an ouch, his feet stumbled, and the delicate body that countless men dreamed of threw directly into Zhang Xinghan's arms.  Zhang Xinghan just held her warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, especially the pair of towering pepper breasts on her chest, which were squeezed on Zhang Xinghan's strong chest and seriously changed their shape.  Feeling the soft hazy feeling coming from his chest, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.  He is in the stage of youth and strength, so for such a sexy figure, he will naturally be aroused by the reaction that a man should have.  However, at this moment, a group of [***] soldiers armed with submachine guns suddenly rushed in from outside.  The music at the scene suddenly stopped, and the men and women on the dance floor who had been singing and dancing just now stopped, looking at the heavily armed soldiers with horrified faces, dumbfounded and at a loss.  Yan Xishan and Song Ziwen also changed their expressions and stood up one after another.  Chen Cheng and He Yingqin looked at each other and saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.  Confused, Chen Cheng strode forward, stood in front of Zhang Xinghan, and shouted loudly: "Who are you from? Do you know who is dancing here today? Guards, where are the guards?" Those who are like wolves and tigers [*  **] The soldiers did not answer, but scattered to the side. A young officer wearing a lieutenant general's uniform strode in with a pair of polished leather shoes.  After taking a look at Chen Cheng who was standing in front of Zhang Xinghan, he immediately shifted his gaze and found Song Ziwen, who was standing with Yan Xishan and other dignitaries in a suit.  Chen Cheng saw the officer's face clearly, pointed at him and said in surprise: "Are you Shen Xingye?" After saying that, he turned to Zhang Xinghan and asked in a low voice: "Commission, what does this mean?" Zhang Xinghan did not answer.  , I saw, under the gaze of everyone, Shen Xingye strode straight towards Song Ziwen and others.  Everyone was shocked when they recognized that the person was Shen Xingye, the newly promoted Lieutenant General Director of the Secret Bureau, who was directly under the command of Zhang Xinghan.  The confidant asked, what on earth is Zhang Xinghan going to do?  Considering that this is a public place, Zhang Xinghan probably won’t do anything outrageous, so everyone felt a little more relieved.  Shen Xingye walked up to Song Ziwen, took out a white document from his arms and said loudly: "Song Ziwen, there is evidence that before you became the Minister of Finance, you repeatedly misappropriated national fiscal revenue for private banquets.  Dance, enrich your own pockets, and now I will officially arrest you in the name of the Secrecy Bureau." As soon as Shen Xingye said this, the whole place was in an uproar. The formation of the New Deal, the Secrecy Bureau is a special existence that relies on the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.  department.  They are not only responsible for gathering military intelligence, but are also responsible for supervising government officials at all levels, fighting corruption and promoting integrity.  So, in theory, if someone commits a crime, even if he is the Minister of Finance, the Secret Service has the right to take action against him.  “However, if it really involves a high-ranking official like the Minister of Finance, I’m afraid Zhang Xinghan will have to personally nod and take orders directly from his Secrecy Bureau before he dares to act.  Those social celebrities and rich girls may not understand why, but when they think of this, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Yang Aiyuan and others suddenly realize.  It turned out that Zhang Xinghan wanted to attack Song Ziwen. If Song Ziwen had no problem, they would not believe it even to death. The four major families have controlled the current Chinese politics and economy for a long time.  Among them, the wealth accumulation of the Song and Kong families is definitely beyond people’s imagination.  They took advantage of their positions and their tacit approval of their relationship with Jiang Gong to poach state-owned assets.  “There is no industry that they are not involved in in any of the most profitable industries in China.  As people from the northern factions such as Yan Xishan and Han Fuqu, we have never thought that after Zhang Xinghan takes power, he is likely to launch a nationwide anti-corruption campaign.  In fact, the main purpose is to deal with national worms like the four major families, but I didn't expect that Zhang Xinghan would move so quickly.  So, Yan Xishan and others quickly and quietly moved away from Song Ziwen and stood next to Zhang Xinghan.  Chen Cheng and He Yingqin, who were protecting Zhang Xinghan just now, looked a little stiff. They did not expect that Zhang Xinghan would actually attack Song Ziwen at this time.  As the backbone of the Central Army faction, they certainly know how important Song Ziwen is to the faction.  "However, Jiang Gong was not here, and Yan Xishan and other important officials from the northern faction deliberately added insult to injury. The two of them spoke softly.  In addition, Shen Xingye and his agents were watching him eagerly, so he just glanced at Song Ziwen, who was stunned, and didn't even open his mouth to defend him.  Until Shen Xingye waved his hand, two plainclothes menThe workers stepped forward to lift him up to leave.  Song Ziwen recovered from the huge shock, shouted hoarsely, turned around and glared at Zhang Xinghan, and roared: "Zhang Xinghan, you bastard, you are abusing your private power, the Ministry of Finance is subordinate to the Executive Yuan, you  You have no right to arrest and interrogate me privately." Shen Xingye waved his hand and motioned for him to be taken away quickly.  He said loudly to everyone present: "Everyone present today is an important official of the state and celebrities from all walks of life. I solemnly assure you that the original intention of the reorganization of the New Deal is to combat [***] and divert people's tax money."  All of it will be used for the construction of the country and the military to realize the grand plan of our country's great rejuvenation as soon as possible. Therefore, today's arrest of the Minister of Finance is definitely not due to any personal grudge. His crime will be announced to the public after investigation and evidence collection.  All the truth will be known to the public.” ps: The second update is here, please continue to ask for votes!  (To be continued.)

    After that, Shen Xingye left with the guards in a swaggering manner.  At this time, the scene was still silent, and there was no sound. It was obvious that no one had recovered from the incident just now.  Only then did Zhang Xinghan stand up and said righteously: "Everyone, what Director Shen just said is also the general intention of the new government's future governance policy. We will uphold the founding father, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, to overthrow the incompetent Manchu dynasty and establish China.  The original intention of the Republic of China is to truly implement the Three People's Principles and make the government a government of the people. This is just the first step in the new government's determination to fight corruption and eliminate all those who use their positions to enrich themselves and harm the interests of the country and the people.  A start. I believe that the new government in the future will be more clean and efficient!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Xinghan said he was busy with official duties and left.  Yan Xishan and others also left one after another, and the dance that was intended to win over Zhang Xinghan and move towards sex ended sadly.  On that day, Jiang Gong, who was recuperating in his hometown of Fenghua, Ningbo, was very drunk because he drank with Wang Jingwei, so when Chen Cheng and He Yingqin urgently sent a telegram to report the news of Song Ziwen's arrest.  Jiang Gong was already drunk and fell into sleep.  Wang Shihe, who came to report, had no choice but to go to his wife Song Meiling.  After Song Meiling hurriedly read the emergency telegram, her face suddenly changed, and she frowned and said: "This Zhang Xinghan, does he really think that he can cover the sky with one hand?" Wang Shihe also said anxiously: "Madam, the principal is taking a rest now, Song  The minister has been arrested and imprisoned. In order to prevent Zhang Xinghan from being convicted first, you should find a way to rescue him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to retract his confession once the charges are confirmed. " Mrs. Jiang did not speak, but her eyebrows were obviously frowning.  Thinking about how to save his brother.  Wang Shihe rolled his eyes and whispered to the side: "Madam, Zhang Xinghan is now at the peak of his prosperity. He has joined forces with the Communist Party to control the power of the party, government and military. If there is no external intervention, even if the commissioner goes to Nanjing in person, I am afraid it will be impossible.  There is no way to save Minister Song. "But there is someone in China who can force Zhang Xinghan to make concessions." Mrs. Jiang was so smart that she immediately thought: "You mean my second sister?" Wang Shihe nodded and said, "That's right."  Mother, if she comes forward, Zhang Xinghan will never dare to put Minister Song on trial." Mrs. Jiang nodded and said, "I understand, you can go down first and report the latest news immediately." "Yes.  Wang Shihe quickly lowered his head and responded respectfully, turned around and left.  ………………Nanjing City, Chairman’s Office.  Zhang Xinghan is negotiating with Duke Zhou.  "Thank you very much, Duke Zhou, for cooperating with me in this anti-corruption campaign. Thanks to you for providing the evidence of Song Ziwen's crimes and embezzlement and bribery to enrich his own pockets, otherwise it would be difficult to touch him." Zhang Xinghan said respectfully.  Zhou Gong smiled and said: "Chairman, you are too polite. We are all doing harm to the country. Everything is what we people should do." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "I believe you people are  I have also heard about your clean governance style and policies during the Soviet period. If China in the future can be led and governed by such honest leaders, it will definitely lead our country to prosperity.  "We, the Communists, also appreciate the general's outstanding contributions to the country and the nation, and believe that under your leadership, the National Revolutionary Army will be able to make more brilliant contributions to the country and the nation in the future."  justice.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "It will definitely happen. For the sake of the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation, Xinghan will go all out and die." After discussing with Duke Zhou some matters that required joint cooperation in the future, Duke Zhou said goodbye and left.  Zhang Xinghan personally escorted him to the car.  Then he returned to the office.  Shen Xingye has been waiting outside the office for a long time.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Commissioner, Song Ziwen has been secretly transferred to a destroyer of our army on the Yangtze River. He is under strict supervision to ensure that there will be no mistakes. In addition, the Song family is in various places in the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas.  The property was also monitored by people from humble positions." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and took the lead into the office.  Shen Xingye followed in and asked: "Commissioner, what should we do next?" "Let's wait a minute. Song Ziwen was arrested and Jiang Gong lost his life. He couldn't just sit back and ignore the Song family.  The relationship is also there." Zhang Xinghan said with a headache.  Shen XingYe said in confusion: "Commissioner, now that Chiang Kai-shek has basically officially resigned, we still have conclusive evidence of Song Ziwen's corruption provided by the government, so what are we afraid of? Can't we still bring Song Ziwen to court?"  " "With the evidence we have, we can indeed convict Song Ziwen of his crime, but don't forget that the entire Song family stands behind Song Ziwen, and Song Qingling is the widow of the founding father and the mother of the Republic of China. Once she intervenes to mediate.  Things are getting tricky." Zhang Xinghan sighed.  "Mother of the Nation Soong Ching Ling?" Shen Xingye said with some uncertainty, "Will she come forward to lobby for Soong Ziwen?" Zhang Xinghan Weiran sighed: "It's hard to say. In the end, China is still a humane society, and no one can really be a relative.  They are in trouble and just sit back and do nothing." Shen Xingye said no more, but nodded silently.  Sure enough, two days later, Soong Ching Ling, the mother of the country who was living in seclusion in Shanghai, arrived in Nanjing.  After seeing Zhang Xinghan, the meaning of the words is very simple. Please Zhang Xinghan to see her Facebook network and stay in Song Ziwen.  Originally, Zhang Xinghan’s original intention was to kill Song Ziwen as a warning to others, which would definitely help the smooth progress of future cleansing and anti-corruption operations.  "However, as Soong Ching Ling, the mother of the country, has already spoken, Zhang Xinghan cannot refuse directly. After all, she is the widow of the father of the country.  At present, it still has a very high popularity and reputation both at home and abroad.  Therefore, in the end, Zhang Xinghan proposed that Song Ziwen should be relieved of all positions he held, be expelled from the party, and never be hired as a condition for avoiding death.  Song Qingling also knew that her younger brother had been corrupt and corrupt over the years, so she nodded and silently agreed to this compromise.  The next day, a national newspaper that had moved from the Northeast and was renamed China Daily published an announcement on the verdict of corruption and bribery by Executive Yuan Finance Minister Song Ziwen.  After a trial by the Supreme Court, Song Ziwen was found guilty of corruption. The Executive Yuan unanimously decided to remove Song Ziwen from the post of Minister of Finance and to be expelled from the Kuomintang party.  And sentenced to ten years in prison.  Of course, Song Ziwen did not actually serve his sentence. Instead, he was secretly sent back to his hometown by the Secrecy Bureau, and he withdrew from the political stage of the Republic of China.  Fenghua, the official residence of Jiang Gong’s hometown.  Chairman Chiang looked at the latest China Daily newspaper sent by Wang Shihe and cursed with a livid face: "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, Zhang Xinghan, that bastard, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is simply unreasonable!" Wang Shihe was frightened and speechless.  He stood aside with his head lowered and silent.  After a long time, Chairman Jiang said with a livid face: "Shihe, please remember that from this life on, Jiang Zhongzheng will never drink alcohol again. If he does it again, you can shoot me!"  Chairman Chiang now regrets that he was so drunk this time, and even hated Wang Zhaoming for it.  “If he hadn’t been drunk, he would have tried every means to prevent this matter from ending like this.  Once Song Ziwen steps down from the position of Finance Minister, the blow to the Central Army faction will definitely be huge.  Because Zhang Xinghan, Mao Zedong, Yan Xishan and other northern warlord factions will never agree that the next finance minister will be served by his confidant.  Wang Shihe was very frightened when he heard this, and said quickly: "The commissioner's words are serious. Even if you are armed with swords and guns, you will never dare to shoot at the commissioner." Chairman Chiang calmed down his anger and said to Wang Shihe: "  Make arrangements, I will return to Nanjing tomorrow." "Yes." Wang Shihe looked up at Chairman Jiang, quickly lowered his head and accepted the order.  …………… A few days later, Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang returned to Nanjing.  Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Yan Xishan to convene a meeting of the Executive Yuan of the new government. The chairman and deputy chairmen of the Military Commission also participated in the meeting.  The main discussion at this meeting was who should take over the vacant post of Minister of Finance.  This is an extremely important position. As the president of the Executive Yuan, Yan Xishan exchanged some opinions with the vice presidents Zhou Gong and Mao Gong.  Then several candidates were listed, including Jiang Baili, Zhang Jingjiang, Kong Xiangxi, Chen Guofu and others.  Jiang Baili’s appointment as Minister of Finance was naturally Zhang Xinghan’s intention. In fact, it was intended to cover up his true intention, which was to select Zhang Jingjiang, who was called a revolutionary saint by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, as Minister of Finance.  Zhang Jingjiang was born into a wealthy micro-business family with a superior family background. He is also a businessman with excellent business acumen. When Mr. Zhongshan was still in exile for the revolution, he tried his best to provide funds for the revolution.  It is definitely the most suitable thing for him to serve as the Minister of Finance at the moment to balance the interests of more parties.suitable candidate.  As Zhang Xinghan expected, under his instruction, Kong Xiangxi and Chen Guofu, who were nominated and recommended by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to serve as ministers of finance, did not receive the consent of the majority of participants.  On the contrary, the proposal of Kuomintang veteran Zhang Jingjiang to serve as the Minister of Finance finally led to a compromise between the two parties. To be precise, it was the agreement between Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army faction and the Guangxi and Southwest factions such as Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Liu Xiang and others.  Because in their view, Zhang Jingjiang is a veteran of the party and state, and it is better for them to have him serve as Minister of Finance than Jiang Baili as Minister of Finance.  No matter what, Zhang Jingjiang is a veteran of their party and state, not Zhang Xinghan’s faction.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 500: Declaration of War on Japan

    With Zhang Jingjiang as Minister of Finance, he was determined to overthrow the Manqin dynasty and establish a new democratic republic.  We will never again fund any faction that undermines unity and peace.  “As a result, it will be inevitable for a long time to work together with the Executive Yuan and the Security Bureau to fight against corruption and promote integrity.  ??This is something that the Central Army and the Southwest Warlords faction headed by Chairman Chiang cannot yet notice.  By the time they reacted, it was already too late, because as long as the northern faction headed by Zhang Xinghan and the Red Army faction had the support, Zhang Jingjiang's position as Minister of Finance would be absolutely secure.  As long as the Minister of Finance does not take bribes and enrich himself, it is like curing the source of the virus from the root, and the institutions at all levels below will be gradually eliminated, and everything will get better.  In early January of the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xinghan united with the northern factions and, with the support of the Red Army, successfully dismissed Song Ziwen from the post of Minister of Finance.  In mid-March, Zhang Jingjiang became Minister of Finance and was also selected as a candidate for Vice President of the Executive Yuan of the new government.  Mr. Chiang was so angry that he really fell ill. He left Nanjing and took Mrs. Chiang directly to visit the United States.  The reason why I chose the United States as the country to visit is because Mrs. Chiang studied here in her early years and is still familiar with the roads in the United States, which has some connections.  Going abroad to recuperate is a lie. It requires the support of foreign forces to regain the power of the party, government and military.  At the same time, Wang Zhaoming and his wife also went abroad to Europe to win support from European powers for the Central Army faction.  Taking advantage of the rare stable environment in the country, Zhang Xinghan began to drastically reorganize the army and conduct a large-scale expansion of various special arms.  By early February, Huangpu Military Academy and Longxing Military Academy were officially merged and renamed China Navy, Army and Air Force Non-commissioned Officer Training School.  There are advanced classes and junior classes. The former is directly established to train junior officers.  The latter is to train more outstanding backbone soldiers.  In addition, both the advanced and junior classes have training sub-disciplines such as land, sea, airborne, airborne troops, tanks and armored troops, and radio.  After the merger, with the support of Zhang Xinghan, the two alma maters were centered.  Started to expand branches in northern and southern China.  By March, sixteen new branch campuses had been opened in North China, Central Plains, East China, and Jiangnan.  And quickly launched enrollment and selected officers who needed to participate in training from all front armies and units.  Soldier.  In order to comprehensively improve the military quality of today's Chinese ** troops as soon as possible.  The increase in branch campuses has greatly facilitated the registration of patriots. They no longer have to travel thousands of miles from north to south and travel to the distant Northeast, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places to register.  After the establishment of the branch, the airborne troops.  Pilots, ground tanks and armored vehicles, various artillery and other arms quickly began to allocate talents with combat experience from active forces to serve as instructors in military academies according to the original plan.  Begin to train more military talents of various arms for the army.  Time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and all military academies are on track.  There has also been some progress in the transfer of southern troops to the north.  In Nanjing City, in a meeting room of the Military Commission.  Except for Li Zongren and Jiang Gong, basically all the members of the Military Commission and the president and deputy presidents of the Executive Yuan were present.  Shen Xingye, director of the Secrecy Bureau, who is in charge of China's largest intelligence department, was reading a document to everyone present about the situation in Japan in the past year.  "According to the intelligence we have and the reports from our dispatched troops in Japan, in the past year, the trade between Western countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Germany has increased significantly with Japan. Many important Japanese port shipyards have even hung up the British and American  The national flags of France and other countries have greatly hindered the strategic air strikes and bombing missions carried out by the air force of our dispatched troops in Japan." Before Shen Xingye finished speaking, Chen Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Japan has continued to make military improvements in recent years.  After being defeated in the battle of Kyushu Island, their vitality was severely damaged. Do they still have so much money to carry out foreign trade? It is obvious that the Japanese purchase from Western countries will not only be the daily necessities needed by the people, but also more  "They should be various war resources used for rearmament." Shen Xingye said: "General Chen is right about the second half of what he said. According to what our agents have detected, Japan's foreign trade basically involves everything.  Arms, military equipment, heavy industrial machinery and equipment, and a large number of strategic resources." After saying this, Shen Xingye said: "As for where Japan comes from so much money, if I am not wrong, various materials from various countries are basically through loans.They were sold to the Japanese for money, and some were even provided free of charge.  " Chen Cheng exclaimed when he heard this: "How is this possible?  Other countries are not idiots. Given the situation the Japanese government is facing now, do they still dare to provide them with loans?  “If Japan is conquered by other countries and the current government collapses, wouldn’t these loans be in vain?  " Shen Xingye looked at Zhang Xinghan, and Zhang Xinghan continued: "It is precisely because of this that they will spare no effort to support the Japanese government, because they do not want the current Japanese government to collapse.  Our Chinese nation has a long and glorious history. We have a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers and a huge population of 40 million people.  Once we get the chance to rise again, the potential we can unleash is absolutely amazing.  From a strategic perspective, currently in Asia, especially in East Asia, the only one that can pose a threat to us and constrain our development is Japan, which has become a major capitalist country.  Therefore, in order to curb our development and rise, the Western powers provided aid to Japan to counter China, which was in line with their interests in the Far East.  None of the Western powers want to see the great Eastern dragon take off again, nor do they want our great army to awaken again.  " After hearing this, Chen Cheng nodded silently. Obviously, with his mind and knowledge, it was impossible not to figure this out. He knew that what Zhang Xinghan said was by no means a lie. It was a fact. What the Western powers did to China in modern history  What we did is just like yesterday, and all the bloody Chinese people can still remember it and dare not forget it. “Then how should we deal with it?  It was not easy.  The Chairman of the Generalissimo led his troops to knock Japan back from its heyday for who knows how many years.  We can’t just watch them resurrect and rise again.  Han Fuqu said something unexpected: "In my opinion, organize troops and directly attack Japan's Honshu Island. Anyway, we now have Kyushu Island as our advance base."  It is much more convenient to use it as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland.  " His words resonated with some people, and they nodded in agreement. Zhang Xinghan shook his head slightly and said: "What Mr. Han said makes sense, but the time is not yet mature, and the full-scale attack on Japan has not yet come.  .  " "Then we just watch the Western powers and the Japanese engage in military trade under our noses?  "Han Fu channel. "Of course not.  This is also the main reason why I called everyone to the meeting today.  "After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the giant world combat map hanging on the wall on one side of the conference room. He picked up a wooden command pole, pointed at the map, looked back at the crowd and said, "Our current national strength is as good as it gets.  In terms of military and financial resources, the level of national education, the quality of military personnel, and the number of aircraft, warships, tanks, and armored vehicles, we currently do not have the ability to confront the coalition forces that may be formed by the Western powers, especially Britain, the United States, and France.     so.  For the time being, we still need to be patient, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.  But for Japan, because it invaded our country first and occupied our territory.  According to international conventions, we have the right to declare war on them.  So my idea is to immediately declare war on Japan and declare that China and Japan have entered a state of war.  And as a belligerent country, warn any country or individual merchant ship in the world that trades with Japan.  To prevent unnecessary accidental injuries, please be careful about trade with Japan.     at the same time.  The navy and air force were dispatched to implement a comprehensive wartime blockade against Japan.  After that, military forces were deployed to first recover Taiwan, which had been occupied by the Japanese for many years.  Taiwan has a special geographical location, guarding the center of the Western Pacific Waterway, and its strategic position is extremely important.  As long as we regain this place, we can cut off the maritime route for Western powers to trade eastward from the Western Pacific.  The navy and air force will also have an excellent strategic base, which will be extremely beneficial for future attacks on the southeastern peninsula and future naval and air operations against Western powers.  Vice Chairman Zhu Gong heard this and nodded in praise: "What the Chairman said makes sense. From a strategic perspective and from a national perspective, it is reasonable and reasonable to regain Taiwan's treasured island."  The Japanese have occupied our territory for many years and it is time to take it back.  " Yan Xishan also nodded hurriedly and said: "I also know that the strategic vision of the Chairman is extremely correct. Taiwan has been our Chinese territory since ancient times. Now it has been occupied by the Japanese invaders for many years. The Taiwanese people are eager to return to the embrace of the motherland.  "The 40 million people of the country also want to avenge their previous humiliation and regain their lost ground all the time.  If we can?Recovery will definitely make 40 million people cheer for it, and the support rate for our new government will also rise significantly.  "With Yan Xishan and others taking the lead, everyone at the scene nodded in agreement. No matter whether they had any other ideas in their hearts, they all had the same opinion on regaining lost territory and defending the country's territorial integrity and national dignity.  Because they are still Chinese with a strong national consciousness. Not all of them are willing to betray their country for glory and be reviled for eternity like Wang Jingwei.  The matter is settled like this, and then I will instruct the intelligence department to formulate a detailed combat plan as soon as possible.  As for the declaration of war against Japan, it is up to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Executive Yuan to take responsibility.  " Zhang Xinghan said. PS: On Monday, as usual, I asked for recommendation votes. It's really embarrassing. The performance of the recommendation votes is really bad. I'm going to the train station soon. Before I leave, I'd like to ask you to see if there are any conditions on the train.  One chapter, I will find an Internet cafe to upload it when I arrive in Jinjiang (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 501: War Response

    On September 18, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, less than a year after the reorganization of the new government, the Republic of China declared war on Japan.  The reason why we chose this day to issue a declaration of war was naturally because of the September 18th Incident in the 20th year of the Republic of China.  Subsequently, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government issued a wartime mobilization order, ordering the four major front armies to mobilize 100,000 troops each to prepare for the recovery of Taiwan.  Although the September 18th Incident that occurred in the 20th year of the Republic of China has long since faded away with the smoke of history, the people have not forgotten this special day, which is regarded as the greatest shame.  Although in these years, the people have always been accompanied by the news of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War from the Northeast Frontier Defense Force led by Zhang Xinghan.  However, due to various reasons, the Republic of China has not yet declared war on the Japanese Empire, which actually began to invade and occupy the inherent territory of the Chinese nation as early as the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894.  Today, it is September 18, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China. After five years, the new government, with Zhang Xinghan as commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, finally officially declared war on Japan.  For a time, the whole country was in an uproar, and people in major and medium-sized cities rushed to tell each other and celebrate.  It’s not that the people are warlike, but that the oppression and humiliation they have suffered for many years finally got a chance to vent.  The modern history of the Chinese nation is humiliating, and all Chinese people with a bit of blood and backbone are always thinking about avenging their previous humiliation.  Declaring war on Japan is undoubtedly a good choice.  Therefore, citizens who are in a state of joy have begun to donate money and materials to express their support for the government’s decision.  ??Exhaust personal efforts to fight against Japan.  Shanghai, a certain dock.  Several middle-aged men who were struggling to survive were gathering together. Among them stood a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a suit and leather shoes who looked elegant.  The middle-aged man wears a shiny hair and is the foreman of this story about hard work.  He was holding a copy of the latest version of the Times published by China Daily in his hand, proudly reading it to the group of rough guys around him.  "We hereby formally declare war on Japan and announce it to both China and foreign countries. All treaties, agreements, and contracts involving relations between China and Japan shall be abolished. This is hereby announced on September 18, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China.  "After reading it, the contractor said very pretentiously: "Listen, this is what a responsible, responsible and courageous government should do. This is what a man should do." "That's it, Manager Wang.  Speaking of which, since Little Japan is in our concession in China, businessmen will no longer be able to be ruthless, right?" said a hard worker.  The contractor said quite proudly: "Theoretically yes, didn't you see, it is clearly written on it that all previous agreements and treaties between China and Japan are invalidated. "The privileges and privileges of Japanese businessmen in China  Their so-called concession will naturally cease to exist. "Then we won't have to suffer from that little Japanese thing in the future, right?" said another hard worker.  "Of course, you can go and beat those little Japanese to death now. That's okay," said the contractor.  "Damn it, brothers, let's go and kill that black-hearted Japanese boss now. This bastard has been sucking our blood these years. Zhao Damao was beaten to death by them a few years ago. This ugly  I have to repay it," one worker said indignantly.  Shanghai and other areas south of the Yangtze River are different from the north originally ruled by Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Because the Nationalist Government headed by Chairman Chiang at that time did not have the ability to compete with the Japanese, coupled with the special circumstances of Shanghai.  So, in Jiangnan.  Especially in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, the Japanese are still very arrogant, with various concessions.  Chambers of Commerce still exist.  Unlike the Northeast, Zhang Xinghan had already ordered the expulsion of Japanese nationals in China. All Japanese who had committed crimes and harmed their own citizens were directly arrested. Those who deserved to be shot were shot, and those who deserved to be sentenced were sentenced.  Therefore, foreigners are superior people, and the strange phenomenon of enjoying things beyond that of their own citizens still exists, and natural oppression also exists.  This worker’s words immediately resonated with other workers. Over the years, they have all suffered or witnessed the Japanese and other foreigners bullying Chinese people.  Now that our government’s attitude has become tougher, it’s time to feel proud.  So, a group of men who resisted the bag picked up the bag and left without even doing any work.  Seeing this, Manager Wang, the contractor, quickly waved his hands and shouted: "Hey, I said, you guys go now, what about my work on the dock?" "Manager Wang, we are considered to be on leave today, you can count it as absenteeism if you want.  , no matter what we say today, we have to cut down that little Japan.?, you can deduct wages later and fire them as you please.  "The workers were excited, shouting with red faces and thick necks. Manager Wang was also a boss who had been oppressed for a long time. A rush of blood came to his mind, and he immediately said: "Fuck you, I won't do it today, I will follow you.  Let's go together and give that old boy Kameda a good beating, making him angry.  At worst, I will take my brothers and go to other docks to find a living!  " "Okay, Manager Wang, based on your performance today, the brothers will follow you wherever you go. I still don't believe it in such a big Shanghai beach. I can't find a way to eat.  ” …………… Hangzhou, on the campus of a university. Accompanied by the school teachers, a respected old principal stepped onto the usual podium. Filled with indignation and emotion, he made a silent speech to the thousands of people in the school.  Speech. “Students, since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China has been repeatedly bullied by foreign enemies, but no one in the successive governments has dared to declare war on the enemy who invaded us to defend the dignity of the nation.  Today, Commander-in-Chief Zhang is pursuing a great strategy and intends to revive the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the past of our Chinese nation. I deeply admire him.  We hereby call together all the teachers and students of the school. If anyone is willing to join the army and follow Commander-in-Chief Zhang to serve the country and be loyal to the nation, on behalf of the school, I will allow him to suspend school indefinitely.  When you return in triumph one day, you can continue your studies!  " After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of the passionate and patriotic students who were already excited in the audience, the old principal continued: "Students, we are old and old, and we are more than willing to serve the country by joining the army.  But you are different. You are still very young. You are the hope for the future of the entire nation. The rise of the Chinese nation requires you to work hard for it.  However, there are no bullets on the battlefield, and many people may never return, but what I want to say is that any patriot should be willing to dedicate everything he has to the great national rejuvenation, including his life!  " "We want to join the army, we want to join the army!  We serve the country!  "Thousands of male and female students shouted in unison with excitement. (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 502: The United States and Japan

    Tokyo, Japan Imperial Palace.  When the Republic of China declared war on Japan, its people cheered and millions of soldiers were excited and ready to fight.  As a declared war country, Japan is in a state of gloom, because the defeats in the Battle of Tsushima Strait and the Battle of Kyushu Island have severely wounded the Japanese people's historically arrogant pride.  This caused them to question their blind trust in the invincibility of their ** team.  “Coupled with the Japanese authorities’ deliberate propaganda and arousing Japanese people’s hatred towards China, they believe that Kyushu Island has become a hell on earth.  I am afraid that after the war is declared this time, the Chinese army will attack their Honshu Island.  This atmosphere of panic and melancholy also enveloped Emperor Hirohito's palace.  "Ishihara Aiki, do the Americans and British really promise to provide us with assistance?" Emperor Hirohito asked uncertainly, Ishihara smiled and stood in front of him with his head lowered and very respectfully.  As the imperial envoy, he has successively traveled to North America, Europe and other countries, and secured many valuable and urgently needed strategic resources and even emergency military loans for the Empire of Japan.  Emperor Hirohito was very satisfied with this, and already regarded the young Ishihara Kanji as the Minister of Humerus, the best candidate to resolve the empire's crisis.  Ishihara smiled and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the treaties signed by our ministers with the Republic of America and the British Empire, once we are attacked, they are obliged to dispatch troops to assist in the defense of our homeland." Emperor Hirohito was a little unhappy.  He said reassuringly: "However, the relationship between Britain and us was not harmonious before." Ishihara Wanji continued: "Your Majesty, from one moment to the next, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies between countries. Some  It's just common interests. In the face of interests, former enemies can become close allies, and vice versa." Emperor Hirohito nodded appreciatively, "Yoshi, what you said makes sense.  People are really launching an attack on Honshu Island at this stage. How is our defense strength? Can we hold on until the reinforcements from the allies arrive? " Ishihara smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The troops currently assembled on Honshu Island are  There are no less than twenty divisions. In addition, there are a large number of reservists. With the help of the British and American allies, the arsenals in Kyoto and other places have greatly increased their production capacity. We already have a large inventory of weapons and ammunition. As long as the war is urgent,  We can open military warehouses everywhere at any time and expand our troops to fifty to sixty divisions within a week. In addition to these millions of troops, we also have tens of millions of Imperial Japanese troops.  Loyal and brave citizens, if the war is urgent, as long as His Majesty the Emperor gives you an order, they will all fight back. With these, we will definitely be able to block the Shina people from the Seto Strait." After saying this, Ishihara smiled again.  Said: "Besides, according to the analysis of the ministers, the Chinese people may not be able to launch attacks on our homeland such as Honshu Island in the short term." "Oh?" Emperor Hirohito said curiously: "Why does Ishihara Aikyō say that?  "Ishihara Wanji said: "Your Majesty, this is my humble judgment based on the current domestic and international situation in China. First of all, the northern faction headed by Zhang Xinghan defeated the southern faction headed by Chiang Kai-shek and was able to successfully reorganize the National Government and control the current political power.  , but the strength and influence of the southern factions headed by Chiang and others still exist. The domestic situation is far from stable. Furthermore, the Chinese people are in urgent need of rectification and development, which cannot be accomplished overnight.  , so the Chinese do not have the strength to conquer all of Japan in a short time." Emperor Hirohito nodded: "That makes sense." Emperor Hirohito's heart just fell, but Ishihara Wanji said again: "But.  "Your Majesty, although the Chinese are unable to continue to occupy our mainland, the territories outside the empire may be in danger." "Oh? What is Ishihara Aikyō referring to?" Emperor Hirohito asked.  "Taiwan and the Penghu Islands. Even the Ryukyu Islands." Ishihara smiled and said: "Due to the defeat of the Imperial Navy and land and sea-based aviation, we lost our sea and air supremacy. As a result, these overseas territories and the mainland that were isolated from the mainland were  The Taiwan Islands and the Ryukyu Islands do not have sufficient defense forces. Once they enter a state of war, the mainland will not be able to provide them with any resources or military support. Furthermore, these overseas territories are unable to provide them with any support.  It is not the real homeland of the empire, but captured from the Chinese.If the Chinese launch an attack on the above-mentioned areas, allies and friends such as Britain, the United States, and France may not be able to intervene. After all, these are Chinese territories.  Logically speaking, the Chinese are recovering their lost territory.  This is what worries me the most.  " Ishihara Wanji's words made Emperor Hirohito, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, feel heavy again and tensed up. He said with a sad face: "Then according to what you said, the empire was hard-won, and tens of thousands of loyal and brave people  Wouldn’t the valuable territory gained by the soldiers’ bravery be lost?  " Ishihara smiled with a guilty look on his face, lowered his head and said: "I am incompetent. I am ashamed of the millions of Yamato people and the ancestors of our Yamato nation. Please punish me.  " Emperor Hirohito sighed and said: "That's all, today's predicament is not your fault alone, Ishihara Aikyo.  " Seeing Emperor Hirohito so sad, Ishihara Wanji felt even more guilty. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said bleedingly: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. I will do everything possible to defend these hard-won overseas territories for the empire and the Yamato nation.  ” ………………… United States, Washington. In the early 1930s, the United States fell into an unprecedented period of economic depression. A large number of banks, factories and other companies closed down. The highest number of unemployed people has reached 1,300  More than one million. However, in the past three years since Franklin Roosevelt, one of the greatest presidents in American history, took office, stimulated by Roosevelt's New Deal, the U.S. economy has recovered, the unemployment rate has dropped significantly, and industrial production has increased.  It has also improved significantly compared to three years ago. Roosevelt, the awesome president who led the Americans to win World War II, is now rising in the hearts of Americans. A secret conference room in the White House in Washington.  Here, Roosevelt was listening to reports from staff and intelligence personnel on the situation in Asia. Since the First World War, the British Empire, which had dominated the world for nearly two centuries, has now declined, and the European powers have not lived up to their former glory.  There is no country in the world that can compare with the United States in terms of geographical location. This has given the United States the opportunity to rise and be at the forefront of the times.  The gap between other countries is still widening. However, this has not yet been noticed by other Western countries. Otherwise, some old European powers and hegemons will find that it is the United States that they really need to curb development.  A new beast that is developing in a low-key manner. Instead of China’s military strength and strategic potential in the far east, it must be accompanied by an expansion of ambition. At this time, the Americans have begun to set their sights on the world for the future.  Therefore, when China, which was in chaos, emerged as an alternative, Zhang Xinghan, and under his integration, China, the sleeping lion of the East, showed signs of awakening, Roosevelt and other American leaders immediately decided.  Provide as much support as possible to China’s enemy Japan to curb China’s development and rise. “Mr. President, according to the latest intelligence from the Far East, the Chinese have officially declared war on the Japanese, and the domestic war machine has begun to operate.  However, after our discussion and analysis, the Chinese should not be able to truly attack the Japanese mainland at this stage. They have achieved their strategic goal of capturing the entire Japan and dominating Asia and the Pacific.  "A Yankee with the rank of major general on his shoulders said. "Tell me the reasons for your opinion.  "Roosevelt sat behind his desk and said. "Because Zhang Xinghan's new government has not yet been fully integrated, there are still many factions in the military and government. It's just that Zhang Xinghan's personal prestige is too high, and his military strength is too strong, and other opposition has been temporarily suppressed.  Factions, such as the southern faction led by Chiang Kai-shek, were unable to resist.  China is a poor and backward country. Since the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing Dynasty, it has been plunged into warlord war for many years. Its industrial level and educational level are almost at zero.  Even if Zhang Xinghan makes a big leap forward in development, he will not have the ability to launch a full-scale war with foreign countries in the short term.  “Moreover, from the perspective of the Zhang government, it is impossible not to see that once they really go to full-scale war with Japan, we, the British Empire, and France will intervene.  Therefore, before their national and military strength are truly strong, they dare not start a war rashly.  "The American analyzed it. &nbsp; After hearing this, Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction and said: "That makes sense. However, based on Zhang Xinghan's previous actions, since his government has openly declared war on Japan, he should not just use words.  , Otherwise, he should not be able to explain to his people. " "President, your analysis is correct. We believe that Zhang Xinghan is likely to launch an attack on China's inherent territories such as the Taiwan Islands under the pretext of recovering lost territory. "After all, the Japanese are now in the Pacific.  We have lost air and sea control," the American major general said.  Roosevelt frowned when he heard this and said: "If this is really the case, things will be a bit troublesome. The Taiwan Islands are not Japanese territory and are not within our defense treaty." ps: After running around a lot, I realized that  I wrote a chapter in the Internet cafe and will write another chapter in the afternoon.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 503: The Pledge of Allegiance in Nanjing

    "President, you are right. If we forcibly intervene in the Taiwan Strait war under such circumstances, it is likely to have a serious impact on our country's reputation. Moreover, the Taiwan Islands are too close to mainland China. If the Chinese Air Force will  If its base is deployed to the frontier of the southeastern Fujian coast, it will only take ten minutes to fly over Taiwan and seize air supremacy. Another thing we need to be vigilant about is that the Northeast Navy headed by Zhang Xinghan is equipped with extremely advanced diving equipment.  According to the naval battle intelligence that broke out not long ago between China and Japan, we learned that the role played by these submarines is extremely important. It can be said that the Chinese Navy defeated the enemy with its super powerful air force and underwater submarine force.  The powerful Japanese naval combined fleet successfully won the battle between China and Japan and captured Japan's Kyushu Island.  After hearing this, Roosevelt stared deeply at the world map behind him and said after a long time: "Our country's domestic economic depression has not yet completely improved, and the unemployment rate is still very high. We will not participate in this Taiwan War.  As long as the Chinese troops do not attack the Japanese mainland, we will not participate in the war. After all, it does not mean much to us to help the Japanese retain the Taiwan Islands, because it is enough to contain the Japanese islands. " Another staff member took the opportunity to be respectful.  He said: "Mr. President is wise. For the sake of the Taiwan Islands, we cannot afford to risk many unknown risks, bear the risk of international public opinion and our country's reputation, and go to war with the Chinese Army in advance. The new policy you have promulgated has already begun.  As a result, we have won the support of the majority of the people. Our country's economy is gradually recovering. "Relatively speaking, we need stability and time." "Yes, I understand," the Yankee major general said.  ………………Nanjing City, as a continuation of this declaration of war against Japan, Zhang Xinghan deliberately transferred 100,000 troops from the Central Plains and Jiangnan Front.  A swearing-in meeting was held in Nanjing and the expedition was launched.  Before the swearing-in meeting was held, Zhang Xinghan had already secretly ordered the dispatched troops stationed on Kyushu Island to mobilize 50,000 elite Northeast Frontier Army troops and dozens of large and small naval warships to march from Kyushu Island to the Ryukyu Islands.  At the same time, two air force flying groups were mobilized from Peiping, North Korea and other places.  A total of about two hundred fighter jets and one hundred B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.  Stationed at southeast coastal airports such as Xiamen and Jinjiang.  As for the army, in addition to the 100,000 army troops gathered in Nanjing, there are also 50,000 people from the Guangxi Clan and 100,000 border guards stationed in Fujian.  If you add in the troops dispatched to Japan to attack the Ryukyu Islands, Zhang Xinghan has mobilized 300,000 army troops for this Taiwan Strait War.  Fifty thousand of them are elites who have experienced the beach landing operation on Kyushu Island and fought against the Northeast Frontier Defense Force that wiped out the Japanese troops on Kyushu Island for more than a year.  Fight across the sea.  The top priority for naval ships and air force divisions is to seize control of the air and sea and cut off the Japanese garrison on the Taiwan Islands and Penghu Islands from the outside world.  This attack group composed of 300,000 troops is enough to land on Taiwan Island in one fell swoop and eliminate the less than 20,000 Japanese defenders on the island and some traitor troops with low combat effectiveness.  The 100,000-strong army were all drafted elite troops, including the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Shandong Army.  There was also the Guangxi Army that marched from Guangxi.  They are all powerful soldiers of warlords from all over the world, but now their military uniforms have completely unified styles and colors.  The weapons in his hands were basically all replaced with formal rifles.  “Obviously, Zhang Xinghan currently does not have the ability to equip nearly five million army and navy officers with Garand semi-automatic rifles.  “ Moreover, it’s not that time yet, so as not to end up wasting precious enemy kill points and making a wedding dress for others.  Most of the 100,000 troops took the ferry train from Pukou across the river to Xiaguan Pier.  Therefore, the entry into the city starts from Xiaguan, passing through Zhongshan Avenue, the main street of Nanjing, and passes by various government agencies and departments such as the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.  Jinling Girls’ School, Jinling University.  Finally, after exiting the city from Guanghua Gate, we circle the city again, go straight to the train station, and take the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway to Fuzhou and other Fujian front lines.  At this time, the streets in Nanjing were already crowded with people on both sides, and a large number of military police and Secret Service agents were responsible for maintaining order on the scene, both openly and covertly.  "Look. The troops are entering the city! Entering the city!" On the side of the street near Xiaguan City Gate, an excited crowd suddenly shouted.  &nbsp; People nearby followed his voice and looked towards the city gate in a hurry.  ???????????????????????????????????????: A group of soldiers, armed with live ammunition, fully armed and neatly dressed, strode towards the city with neat steps and a look of resoluteness and coldness on their faces.  The soldiers who entered the city formed a total of four columns. Everyone who entered the city at that time was tall and burly, and the bayonets on the steel guns tightly held in their hands were as dense as a forest.  Under the sunlight, it reflects the dazzling cold light.  They walked in unison, making sonorous and powerful steps, which invisibly made the people watching on both sides of the street feel excited and their eyes almost became fanatical.  When 100,000 soldiers lined up in four columns and marched in neat steps in front of the Military Commission building, they marched majestically.  Led by the leading officer, they all saluted in unison and turned their gazes to the balcony on the second floor of the Military Commission Building.  On the balcony, Zhang Xinghan stood side by side with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Duke Zhou, Duke Zhu, Li Zongren and other officials from the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.  He looked solemnly at the soldiers passing by under the stage.  Although we have no dealings with Zhang Xinghan, we are very concerned about regaining lost territory, especially the Taiwan Islands, which were occupied by the Japanese since the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.  Jiang Gong still showed great importance to national justice and integrity.  Secretly ordered all the troops deployed to strictly abide by the orders and fight this historic battle well.  When Zhang Xinghan took the lead in waving and saluting the soldiers walking neatly on the street.  Jiang Gong and others also followed suit.  People on both sides of the street began to send out some exciting slogans.  Soon, these scattered slogans converged into a unified and neat chorus.  "Long live the National Revolutionary Army! Long live the Chinese nation! Long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang!" The huge sound caused by thousands of people chanting resounded throughout Nanjing.  This ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has not experienced such an exciting and magnificent scene in many years.  (To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 504: Secretly arresting Dai Li

    After the troops completed their entry into the city, they all headed to Xiaguan Station.  Thousands of people also flocked to the train station to visit the swearing-in ceremony that was taking place at the train station.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Gong and other important officials of the National Government had arrived in advance.  The swearing-in ceremony was held in an open space not far from the train station, and the podium had already been set up.  The surrounding area was guarded and protected by soldiers armed with live ammunition.  Soon, under the command and coordination of the on-site commander, about 10,000 officers and soldiers gathered in the open space in front of the podium and formed a neat queue.  "Brothers! The Japanese invaders have occupied Taiwan's Penghu Islands for nearly half a century. Millions of compatriots on the islands are in dire straits. As soldiers, defending the territorial integrity of the country is a sacred mission and responsibility that we cannot shirk. In order to regain our territory, we must  The territory occupied by the Japanese invaders has saved millions of compatriots. Today we pledge our deepest hope that we will never return to Yizhou in this cross-sea battle!  Yizhou, I swear not to return our troops!" "I will not return to Yizhou, I swear not to return my troops!" Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers raised their steel guns with red eyes and roared in unison.  The huge sound resounded in all directions, and the rolling Yangtze River seemed to be shaken by it, and the waves stopped rolling, and the cold wind seemed to have stopped howling.  The tens of thousands of people gathered outside the venue were all excited, and they were so excited that they shouted in unison.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hands and said loudly: "Brave Chinese Erlangs, let's go, I will serve you a celebration wine in Nanjing and wait for your triumphant return!" The tens of thousands of soldiers under the stage were led by their respective commanders  Next, we boarded the train that had been prepared nervously and orderly.  Not long after.  The locomotive made a long and piercing scream, billowing smoke, and the wheels of the train began to rotate slowly.  …………… After the swearing-in, Zhang Xinghan accompanied Chairman Chiang, Zhu Gong, and Li Zongren.  Bai Chongxi and others returned to Nanjing.  Arriving at the combat conference room of the Military Commission, Guo Zhong put down the map hanging on the wall and stepped aside.  Zhang Xinghan and his colleagues walked to the map and stared at it. Zhang Xinghan said: "The dispatched troops currently stationed on Kyushu Island have set off from Kyushu Island. According to the battle plan we formulated in advance. They will first attack the Ryukyu Islands adjacent to Kyushu Island.  , use this as an advance base, and then launch an attack on the main island of Taiwan. During the period of dispatching troops to attack the Ryukyu Islands, there is just enough time for our inland troops to mobilize to the frontier in Fujian and other places.  Ships, gather troops." Finished.  Zhang Xinghan turned his head and looked around the crowd and said, "I don't know, do you have anything else you need to add?" Chairman Jiang stood aside with a dark face and said nothing. He thought to himself, you have already made the battle plan, and now you still want us to  What to add?  "Since everyone has no objections, it's settled. General Xue Yue will serve as the commander-in-chief of the landing force in this sea-crossing operation, and the navy and air force will fully cooperate." After a pause, Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and thought to the side.  Bai Chongxi, who knew what he was thinking, said: "Commander Bai, I have to trouble you this time. On behalf of the Military Commission, go to the Fujian front line to inspect and supervise the war. By the way, I will assist General Xue Yue." "Yes, thank you for your trust, Jiansheng will do his best."  Let's go." Bai Chongxi quickly stood up and responded.  Zhang Xinghan frowned slightly.  He smiled and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Bai. Your trip to Fujian is to contribute to the country, so why thank me. Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, that's it for today. I still have some things to deal with."  After everyone dispersed, Shen Xingye, the director of the Secrecy Bureau, walked in and whispered to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, we have found Dai Li. He is currently taking refuge in a villa area in Shanghai. I have checked that villa belongs to a Shanghai Youth Gang boss."  The property under Du Yuesheng's name. " "Du Yuesheng?" Zhang Xinghan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking.  Shen Xingye thought that Zhang Xinghan didn't know who Du Yuesheng was, and immediately said: "This man's parents died when he was young. He was an apprentice. When he first started, he took refuge with Huang Jinrong, the big brother of the gang in Shanghai. Later, he became famous among the French and warlords.  With the support of others, he gradually became the boss of the Shanghai gang who stood side by side with Huang Jinrong and others. He had close relations with Dai Li and Jiang Zhongzheng. During Dai Li's military commander's activities in Shanghai and other places, he sent people to assist him many times.  The two had a close friendship. After the new government was formed,Li secretly arrived in Shanghai and had frequent contact with Du Yuesheng and others.  ” It turns out that after Chairman Chiang stepped down and the new government was formed, the Military Statistics and Investigation Bureau (Military Control), which was affiliated with the original Military Commission, offended too many people during Jiang Gong’s tenure. Many people were afraid of it and hated it.  Because of this, the southern factions such as the Gui Clan, the Southwest Warlords, and the Northern Factions joined forces to disband the army. Zhang Xinghan was planning to suppress the military alliance in order to support the Secrecy Bureau loyal to him. Therefore, the two sides coincided with the public disbandment of the military alliance.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan also knew that although the Nationalist Government disbanded the military order, it could not be wiped out as a sharp dagger in Jiang Gong's hands. In fact, the military order was indeed transferred from the surface to the underground because Jiang Gong was still working for it.  They provide funds for activities, so they can continue to exist. After the Secret Bureau took over the intelligence department of the Nationalist Government, in addition to collecting military intelligence, it also had an unspoken mission, which was to search for the key leaders of the former military command, including Dai Li. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.  , this truth exists at all times. With Zhang Xinghan’s tacit support, Shen Xingye began to prepare to completely dismantle the military unification. It was not difficult to disintegrate the military unification, that is, to kill their director Dai Li and some of his key leaders.  After various efforts, especially when the Japanese concession in Shanghai was taken back, and the tough attitude of the new Chinese government was felt, the attitudes of many British and French concession consuls who had colluded with the original National Government changed somewhat.  Knowing Dai Li's whereabouts, he hurried over to report to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan nodded slightly, already thinking about it, and immediately said to Shen Xingye: "Yizhi, bring Dai Li to Nanjing to see me, and don't touch Du Yuesheng for the time being."  , I will still be able to use it in the future!  " "Yes, I understand. I will make arrangements right away."  "Shen Xingye immediately accepted the order, turned around and strode away. "Shanghai, a seemingly inconspicuous ordinary villa in the French Concession. There are two vendors setting up stalls at the door, selling cigarettes, matches, candles and other inconspicuous small items.  They were two young men in black. They looked around from time to time, and they didn't look like they were doing business. Once a pedestrian passed by, they immediately shouted hello to the person behind them.  The villa is a courtyard with an area of ??about 200 square meters. Directly to the north of the courtyard is a two-story building with blue bricks and gray tiles and cement walls. In Shanghai, an oriental metropolis in the old society, it is different from those in the old society.  Compared with the various splendid high-rise buildings, there is a well-decorated room on the second floor of the small building, where the military commander Dai Li is hiding. At this time, Dai Li looked very haggard, because Jiang Gong was temporarily absent.  After losing power, he, the spy chief of the Military Command Bureau known as Chairman Chiang's sword, will naturally have a hard time. Moreover, Dai Li knows that he has offended too many people, especially Zhang Xinghan, who has now replaced Mr. Jiang.  He was secretly actively planning various assassinations against him. But before these plans had a chance to be implemented, Zhang Xinghan led his troops to attack the Yangtze River, successfully reorganized the new government, and seized military power. Now, he is not sure.  Have his shady assassination plans been discovered by Zhang Xinghan and his group of secrecy bureau thugs who are no less than military commanders? Although Du Yuesheng helped him hide in the French Concession, he also brought a group of elite soldiers to protect him openly and secretly.  He also felt deeply uneasy, so every day he was restless and exhausted. Over time, he became emaciated and completely different from the prominent figure in the National Government who followed Chairman Chiang.  It can be seen from the fact that he has raped countless women in history and later captured the most beautiful woman in the Republic of China. You must know that Hu Die was already a married woman in her thirties. Of course, as a popular movie star in the Republic of China,  Even though Hu Die, the most beautiful woman, is over thirty, she is still graceful, plump, dignified and charming. Otherwise, she would not be able to attract Dai Li, the romantic spy leader who has countless women. At this time, Dai Li, who has lost his power, naturally cannot.  He had no choice but to invite the popular Hu Die to his bed, but his confidant Shen Zui found him a French girl with a great figure. At this moment, Dai Li was letting out his lust on the French girl, and suddenly he was outside.  came aThere was a rapid burst of gunfire.  Dai Li was so frightened that he quickly got dressed and jumped out of the escape window that had been prepared in advance. It was an ordinary small courtyard next to the villa behind it.  Shenzui and Yiqian’s confidants live here.  The sound of gunfire had already alerted them. As soon as Dai Li jumped down, Shen Zui rushed out with more than a dozen military agents holding weapons.  He said to him: "Commander, I will take someone to support you, you go first." Dai Li didn't say much, and immediately led four of his men to escape through a small door in the courtyard that they broke into the wall.  The gunshots in front became more rapid, and Dai Li, who was horrified, couldn't help but speed up his pace.  When Dai Li and his four subordinates had just walked down an alley, they noticed a group of big men in black flashing out of the alley.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 505

    The four subordinates accompanying Dai Li first realized that they were all elite soldiers of the Military Command Bureau who were with him at this time.  But the Secrecy Bureau ambushing here was obviously well prepared and faster than them.  The mirror box in the hands of the four military elites has just been raised, but they haven't had time to fire yet.  Several rapid gunshots sounded in vain, and a hot sniper bullet was shot into the forehead of each of the four military agents.  The bullets rotated into their heads and instantly strangled the tissues in their skulls to pieces.  It flew out from the back of the head again, bringing out a large piece of skull and a mixture of red and white.  The bodies of the four military commanders were startled, and then they collapsed like a puddle of mud. Their eyes were wide open, and they were obviously unwilling to die in silence.  The pistol in his hand also crashed onto the stone floor and fell far away.  Dai Li did not turn around and run away. As a man who was engaged in assassination and trained agents, he knew that if he turned around and ran away at this time, more than one sniper bullet would pierce his head instantly.  The next second, one more dead body will fall on the ground.  So, he raised his hands very wisely, tried his best to stay calm, and said: "If you want to shoot me, I have something to say." In fact, Dai Li's mood at this moment was also extremely high, because he didn't know what the purpose of the other party's coming was.  Whether to kill him or to live.  But after a full minute, there was still no shot from the opponent, and Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief.  It seems that the other party does not want to kill him, otherwise, within this minute, he will die many times.  Sure enough, the big men in black who were blocking the entrance of the alley retreated to both sides and made a way out.  A young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes walked out with a cigarette in his mouth.  "Director Dai, you can make it easy for us to find you." The young man said with a playful and sinister tone.  "I wonder who you are? We have no grievances in the past and no enmity these days. You really can't commit the crime of killing my people." Dai Li said forcefully and calmly.  "Haha, Director Dai, you don't have to pretend in front of me, right? A man of knowledge doesn't speak secretly. I'm Cheng Bin, the deputy director of the National Government's Secrecy Bureau and the director of the Operations Division!" The man in black is none other than Cheng Bin, who is highly skilled in martial arts.  Dai Li stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "So it's Cheng Bin. I've heard about your famous name Yu Nong for a long time. Chairman Zhang really thinks highly of Dai." "Director Dai, let's not waste time here.  The commissioner wants to see you, are you going to let my people take you away, or will you take the initiative to follow us?" Cheng Bin heard the gunfire from the other side getting more intense, and knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time.  Dai Li turned around reluctantly, listening to the fierce gunfire behind him, and thought to himself, if he could delay for a while longer.  Maybe Du Yuesheng's people and people from the French Concession can come.  Unfortunately, his opponent was very cautious and did not give him any chance to delay.  "I'm going with you. I'll be responsible for everything by myself. My group of people are all eating with you. Please don't kill them." Dai Li said half-truthfully.  "Okay, Director Dai, you'd better take care of yourself and don't try to delay any time. You don't have that chance. If you can't be taken away, the order given by the commission is to execute you on the spot at all costs! So!  , I hope Director Dai will be more honest and come back to Nanjing with me." Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Bin said these words.  Dai Li was as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost.  Cheng Bin waved his hand, and two Secrecy Bureau agents with guns and ammunition rushed up, picked him up and left.  Cheng Bin took a puff of cigarette and led his men to escort him into the car that had been prepared.  It wasn't until Cheng Bin and the others left in the car that the four snipers who were lying in ambush on the rooftops of the houses on both sides of the alley got up and left.  ……………… The vast East China Sea, above the vast expanse of blue waves.  The leading naval force of the Nationalist Government's dispatched troops to Japan, with the cooperation of the air force, launched violent shelling and bombing of Ryukyu Island.  Immediately, the first batch of three thousand landing troops took rubber boats and assault boats and launched an attack on the coast.  The situation on Ryukyu Island at this time is very bad because the connection with the Japanese mainland has been cut off for more than a year.  Although there are not many Japanese troops stationed on the island, the food they have hoarded has been exhausted long ago. They rely entirely on robbing the residents of Ryukyu Island and hunting and fishing on the mountains, forests and seaside.  Up to now, countless aborigines have been robbed of food and starved to death in a miserable way. The situation on the island is full of victims and it is too miserable to look at.  Even the Japanese garrison died of many diseases due to lack of medical treatment and malnutrition.  &nbsp; Under such circumstances, it can be seen how pessimistic and desperate the Japanese garrison on the island are, and how low their morale is.  When Chinese Air Force fighter planes circled and dive-bombed over their heads, a large-scale naval gun fired fiercely at them from the seaside.  These Japanese soldiers, who had already been in despair and whose morale was as low as the Ice Valley, suddenly became desperate.  Many Japanese soldiers directly chose to launch a suicidal counterattack, and were blown up into a bloody storm in the sky-high explosions.  Some Japanese soldiers detonated grenades in their residences or fortifications in desperation, or committed suicide by committing seppuku with bayonets.  Some Japanese military families stationed with the army on Ryukyu Island also took extreme measures to end their suffering.  Under such circumstances, three thousand brave Japanese soldiers, under the cover of their own powerful naval gun and air force firepower, soon swarmed onto the beach like a tide.  Slogans such as “Long Live China, Long Live Commander-in-Chief Zhang” and other slogans rushed towards the island like floods that burst the embankments.  The resistance they encountered was very weak and scattered, and soon they broke through the Japanese defensive positions on the coast.  Straight into the Japanese headquarters on the main island of Ryukyu. At this time, in the Japanese headquarters, the current Ryukyu garrison commander, Colonel Hayano Nakaji, was preparing to commit seppuku.  In the forest, the Second Chief of Staff rolled up his sleeves and knelt on the ground happily. In front of him was a polished and very cold Imperial Sword given by the Emperor.  With the sound of artillery outside and the shouts of killing gradually coming in, he looked up at the military uniform statue of Emperor Hirohito and the eye-catching Japanese military flag hanging on the wall.  With a solemn expression, he picked up the Sakan sword placed in front of him, held it behind his hands, shouted "Long live the Emperor," and then stabbed himself in the abdomen.  "Puff", the sharp saber cut open his belly easily and penetrated his body in an instant.  Lin Yezhong Er's body suddenly froze, his brows furrowed, and blood flowed out from his abdomen along the saber blade.  His mouth opened uncontrollably, and bright red blood surged out like an arrow.  Soon, his eyes quickly lost their luster and dimmed.  However, before finally dying, the old devil used his last bit of strength to turn the saber that had come out of his back sideways, and then he fell to the ground with his head tilted and died.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 506: Battle of Yizhou (1)

    Nanjing, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.  Zhang Xinghan is working as usual. Although preparations for the battle to regain Yizhou are now in full swing, the millions of troops of the four major front armies across the country still have a lot to deal with every day.  Zhang Xinghan was lying on his desk, immersed in his work, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside. When he looked up, he saw the captain of the guard, Guo Zhong, walking in happily.  "Commissioner, the dispatched troops stationed in Japan just called to report that they have easily captured the main island of Ryukyu Island. The troops are currently marching towards Naha Port and other islands. It is expected that the Ryukyu Islands will be completely captured in the next three days, and the Taiwan Strait will be reached in five days.  Join the war." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan put down the pen in his hand, covered a document, stood up and said: "Very good, send a message to General Xue Yue immediately and urge him to speed up the attack. Before all my troops are assembled, we can attack first.  The Japanese troops on the Kinmen and Penghu Islands will strive to launch a beach landing on Taiwan from two directions at the same time in five days.   Not long after Guo Zhong left, Shen Xingye walked in high-spirited and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, Cheng Bin and the others have succeeded and are secretly escorting Dai Li to Ning!" "Okay, I must.  Pay attention to keeping it secret and never lose it again,” Zhang Xinghan praised.  "Please rest assured, no one has been able to rescue the arrested criminals from the humble Secrecy Bureau." Shen Xingye assured him, patting his chest.  "Very good. Once Dai Li comes to Nanjing, release him immediately. Remember to notify China Daily to send people to report this matter. We must make our unconditional release of him public." Zhang Xinghan instructed.  Shen Xingye looked surprised when he heard this.  He asked in confusion: "Commissioner, do you want to release Dai Li?" "Yes, release him." Zhang Xinghan replied.  "But, Commissioner, Dai Li single-handedly created the Military Command. The most effective, direct and quickest way to defeat the Military Command is to get rid of Dai Li. "Commissioner, you don't want to kill him, but you don't have to let him go. There are ten thousand ways to do this humble job.  Dai Li will never have the chance to take charge of the military. Once he loses Dai Li, a large military commander will fall into a leaderless situation. At that time, he only needs to use some means to take it back. After all, their intelligence network has been established.  Soon, after the annexation, we can greatly strengthen our strength and facilitate the deployment and deployment of our intelligence network to foreign countries in the future, so as to further improve the party-state's future expansion plans." Shen Xingye said.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Yizhi. Sometimes if you want to get rid of a person, killing is not the only option. Chairman Chiang is a cautious and suspicious person. Just imagine if he knew that Dai Li was safe after being captured.  If the matter is released by us, will he still trust him as before?" Shen Xingye pondered after hearing this, and then suddenly realized: "I understand, Commissioner, you are trying to get rid of Dai Li with the help of Chairman Chiang.  "Not entirely." Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly and said: "Dai Li is a natural spy. Once Chairman Chiang becomes suspicious and he is desperate, maybe I can take him under my control."  The Military Command Bureau must be Dai Li." Zhang Xinghan naturally had his own purpose in planning this way.  That is, to subdue Dai Li and his Military Command Bureau for his own use, in order to check and balance Shen Xingye's increasingly powerful Secrecy Bureau.  Today, the Secrecy Bureau, which originated from the Northeast Border Guard, has grown too rapidly. Now Zhang Xinghan can still control them with his absolute personal prestige.  But in the future.  As time goes by, the Secrecy Bureau continues to penetrate into the military and political systems across the country, and its power continues to expand.  No one knows whether there will be any trouble. The secret service and intelligence agencies have always been a double-edged sword.  It worked well.  It is of great benefit to consolidating political power and winning wars. On the contrary, it is likely to become the source of chaos for the country.  Isn’t the famous Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty in history the best example?  Zhang Xinghan is a time traveler, and he still has some understanding of some things that probably happened in history.  Now that he is in a high position, all he needs to think about is not just expanding the country's territory and making contributions.  We need to do more to balance and maintain the power of our subordinates and prevent one family from getting bigger.  Maintaining the balance of forces among the subordinate parties is something that kings, those in power, and those in superior positions throughout the ages must do.  Once anything goes wrong? Balance may lead to unpredictable catastrophic consequences.  Hearing what Zhang Xinghan said, Shen Xingye, who was still loyal to him at this moment, of course didn't think much about it and had no choice but to lower his head and say yes.  In fact, any betrayal will not happen at the beginning, but will break out as his strength increases and his ambition continues to expand.  Shen Xingye can be regarded as following his old subordinates. He followed him during the Shenyang defense battle. His loyalty to Zhang Xinghan is unquestionable.  Zhang Xinghan probably did this as a precaution.  ……………… Ryukyu Island, Naha Port.  In the sky, about thirty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers belonging to the Japan Expeditionary Force, under the cover of more than twenty Zero fighter jets, were conducting all-round violent bombing of the military facilities in the Naha port.  Amidst the sharp and ear-piercing roars of falling aerial bombs, the entire Naha Port was engulfed in a sea of ??fire.  Amidst the deafening explosion, the ground shook.  In the sea of ????fire, unexplainable Japanese soldiers were covered in flames and were running away howling like wolves and crying like ghosts.  In the violent explosion, the defense facilities that the Japanese had been operating for many years were blown to pieces and completely damaged.  Some Japanese soldiers stubbornly held machine guns and fired into the air. However, the Chinese fighter planes, whether they were Zero fighters or Flying Fortress bombers, flew extremely fast.  Wherever their slow-firing crooked machine guns could hit, all the bullets were empty.  Immediately afterwards, the Japanese soldiers were horrified to find two Chinese fighter planes swooping towards them.  Before they could dodge, four dazzling tongues of flame shot out from both sides of the plane.  "Puff puff" Several Japanese soldiers who were shooting in the air were beaten into two pieces on the spot by the dense and powerful hail of heading machine gun bullets.  Farther away, there are still surviving anti-aircraft machine gun positions that are tenaciously firing a not-so-dense rain of anti-aircraft bullets into the air.  But alone, it failed to shoot down a single Chinese fighter plane or bomber.  It was swallowed up by a violent explosion.  Such bombing and air raids lasted for more than an hour, and did not end until the entire Naha port was almost in ruins.  However, not long after the air raid ended, a large group of Chinese naval warships appeared outside the port.  There are also several groups of tanks and chariots on the road, leading a large number of Chinese soldiers to swarm over.  Teams of Marines came in landing craft and braved the wind and waves.  Under attack from both sides by China’s army and navy.  The remaining Japanese in Naha Port only put up extremely weak resistance and were all wiped out.  With the successful capture of Naha Port, it marks that all the important islands and ports of the Ryukyu Islands have been included in the territory of the Republic of China.  Many of the remaining small islands are uninhabited islands.  The strength of the Japanese garrison on the island is almost negligible.  ……………… While the Battle of Ryukyu Islands was progressing very smoothly, the Fujian frontier.  Xue Yue, who had just arrived in Fujian from Wuhan, took his adjutants and guards and hurried to the already established headquarters for the Taiwan Attack Campaign.  In order to facilitate the command of troops, Xue Yue's headquarters was located on Xiamen Island, across the sea from Kinmen Island.  Since Japan invaded Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, Kinmen and Kinmen Islands have also been included in the Treaty of Shimonoseki.  So for nearly a century, this place has been under Japanese rule.  Inside the headquarters of Xiamen Island.  With the arrival of Xue Yue, this command center is officially sound.  Officers from all levels of the border defense forces in Fujian gathered together, many of whom were from the 19th Route Army.  There is quite a bit of rift with central faction generals like Xue Yue.  Therefore, Xue Yue's arrival was not given a warm welcome, but only a lukewarm response.  The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward and cold.  Xue Yue is a smart man, he can naturally understand what these people are thinking.     so.  He was not in a hurry to discuss the war. Instead, when he came to the head, he held the conference table with both hands and looked around at the senior generals present.  He smiled slightly and said, "My colleagues, long time no see." There was no enthusiastic response from everyone, and some even snorted softly and turned away.  Xue Yuebing was not angry, but said calmly: "My colleagues, today Xue came to the front line of Fujian Province to supervise and direct the battle to recover Yizhou. Before we officially start discussing military affairs, there are some things I don't want to say.  .&nbsp; First.  This battle to regain Yizhou is a sacred battle to avenge the country and the nation and defend the inherent territorial integrity of the Chinese nation.  It is not a battle for any personal selfish desires and interests.  Therefore, I hope that all colleagues present can put the overall situation first and achieve this feat together.  Cooperate sincerely to recover the Taiwan Islands and other lost territories that have been lost for many years.  This battle really carries the expectations of 40 million people. If we fail to live up to their expectations, we will become the sinners of the Chinese nation. We will be criticized by thousands of people and will never be able to raise our heads in our lifetime.  Therefore, here, I have an ugly saying: If anyone does not put the country first and cares about personal grievances and gains and losses, don’t blame Xue for ignoring the righteousness of his colleagues.  Commander-in-Chief Zhang sent me a secret message before Xue came to Xiamen, granting Xue all the power to make decisions. Anyone who disrespects military orders will be dealt with on the spot according to military law and will not be tolerated.  ” ps: I’ve been unlucky these past two days.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 507: Battle of Yizhou (2)

    Seeing Xue Yue's stern voice and look, I thought of Zhang Xinghan, who was vigorous and ruthless in his military use and enjoyed high prestige and reputation in the country.  The generals of the Fujian Border Guard Army present finally relented. A major general said: "Mr.  , I will just obey the order." Other generals also nodded in agreement. They were not really afraid of Xue Yue, but they were afraid of Zhang Xinghan.  In fact, they were both afraid and respectful of Zhang Xinghan. What they were afraid of was Zhang Xinghan's strong military strength. He was a powerful opponent that even Chairman Chiang was helpless against.  This also relieved the Fujian generals who were dissatisfied with Chairman Chiang.  Respectfully, since the Battle of Shenyang came about, Zhang Xinghan drove away the Japanese invaders, fought against the Soviet Union, and attacked Kyushu. What has he done that is not very satisfying? It is what the contemporary Chinese want to do most but are unable to do?  For such a leader who has won the hearts of the military and the people, has repeatedly made military exploits for the country and the nation, and is backed by extremely strong military strength, their respect is actually greater than their fear.  Seeing that everyone's attitude had changed, Xue Yue nodded with satisfaction, smiled again and said: "In that case, Xue can rest assured. What he said just now was not intentional. Please pay attention.  Don't take it to heart, after all, we are all loyal to the country and fighting under the same military banner." After saying this, Xue Yue said again: "According to the latest information I have received, the joint sea, land and air force sent by our country's dispatched troops to Japan.  The military has basically captured the entire Ryukyu Islands yesterday. The Military Commission called yesterday to urge us to take action as soon as possible. I would like to hear what everyone has to say." Xue Yue finished.  He glanced back and forth at everyone present.  The major general who spoke earlier said with some worry: "Commander, the Supreme Command may have been too hasty. One hundred thousand Central Army troops are still in Zhejiang and are still on the way. The navy and air force are not strong enough. We  Isn’t it too early to launch an attack now?”  "To isolate the Japanese troops on the main island of Taiwan, we will eventually attack Taiwan with the dispatched troops on Ryukyu Island." The major general nodded when he heard this.  Xue Yue asked again: "By the way, how is the collection of ships used to cross the sea now?" After all, relying only on the ships of part of the navy's fleet, a logistics officer in charge of collecting ships quickly replied: "Commander, the current collection of ships of all sizes has been  There are more than two thousand, and almost all the large and small fishing boats along the coast of Fujian have been mobilized. The remaining ones will be collected from neighboring provinces. "With the addition of some fleet warships, what is the current transportation capacity?" Xue Yue asked.  "If we include the landing ships and transport boats of the naval fleet, we should now be able to land 20,000 people at once on the island for combat. In addition, our military has sea and air control. After completing the first wave of delivery missions, these ships  , you can also return immediately and land with the second echelon of troops." Xue Yue nodded and said: "Twenty thousand people are enough to attack Kinmen Island." "Now I order the Xiamen garrison to serve as the first wave.  The relevant generals will immediately prepare for the attack mission and launch an attack on Kinmen Island early tomorrow morning. I will send the navy and air force to fully assist in this landing operation. This battle will be the first battle for our country to regain the Penghu Islands and other lost lands. There will be no room for failure. I hope you will.  We must go all out and fire the first shot for this sacred battle," Xue Yue said in a very serious voice.  ………………Taiwan, the Governor-General’s Office of Japan.  The current Governor of Taiwan, Kobayashi Shizuo (reserve naval admiral), is anxiously discussing countermeasures with the commander of the Taiwan Garrison, Major General Aya Koizumi.  The Chinese army is about to attack Taiwan.  They have already learned about the recovery of colonies captured by Japan, including the Penghu Islands.  Kobayashi Shizuo and Koizumi Aya, who are well aware of the difficulties and crises currently facing the Japanese Empire, know the seriousness of this crisis.  Because they can no longer count on the local government to give them any support. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Governor-General's Office of Taiwan was built after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894.  In 1895 (Meiji 28), Japan established an institution to rule Taiwan. Initially, the governor was limited to army and navy generals or lieutenant generals, with full power to manage civil affairs, military affairs and military orders. In 1918 (Taisho 8), the military attache governor system was abolished and appointments began.  Civil officials areThe governor-general also set up the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwan Army to manage the army.  Koizumi Aya is an officer who was transferred to the military. He is nominally under the control of the Governor-General's Palace, but in fact he takes orders directly from the local base camp.  Xiaolin Jizao only has administrative power and is responsible for various government affairs throughout Yizhou.  .  But right now, the base camp is facing an unprecedented crisis and cannot take into account the war situation in Taiwan.  So Aya Koizumi didn’t care too much and hurried from his headquarters to the Governor’s Mansion built by Kobayashi.  Discuss countermeasures with him in order to overcome this difficulty.  "Governor Xiaolin, according to the intelligence sent to us by the Special High School, the Chinese army is gathering towards the coastal front line of Fujian. I think it will not be long before they launch an attack, and the big and small Kinmen Islands will be the first to bear the brunt. What do you think about this?  Any good suggestions?" Kobayashi Shizuo frowned and said: "The base camp has made it clear that it is unable to take care of the war situation in Taiwan. Let us resist to the end. I think that our current troops are insufficient and we should take the initiative to shrink our troops and stick to the main island of Taiwan.  As for the Kinmen Islands and the Penghu Islands, it is better to give them up voluntarily because they are far away from the main island of Taiwan and close to mainland China. We do not have air and sea control. Once the Chinese attack in a large scale, their retreat will be cut off and they will be in a desperate situation.  "It will be a matter of time before they are wiped out by the Chinese." Koizumi Aya nodded and said in agreement: "What you said is very insightful. I will arrange for the troops to be stationed on each island and evacuate tonight."  When he went to arrange the delivery of military orders, he saw a Japanese communications staff member running in in a panic, saluting the two of them hastily: "Your Majesty the Governor, Your Excellency Commander, it's not good, the Chinese have captured the entire Ryukyu Islands. In the near future,  We are about to enter the Taiwan Strait! " ps: Oh, it's not easy. I finally finished it before twelve o'clock and the network card was repaired. It's not easy. I burst into tears.  In addition, I thank Pharaoh's boss of the boss of 10,000 yuan for a lot of money, and other brothers who vote for monthly votes. The autumn wind will give you the New Year!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 508: Battle of Yizhou (3)

    Kobayashi Jizo and Koizumi Aya were quite surprised. They looked at each other in astonishment and saw complicated expressions in each other's eyes, including despair, regret, and sadness.  "Koizumi-kun, the Ryukyu Islands have been occupied by the Chinese, which means that it will not take too long for the Chinese to attack Taiwan, leaving us little time to prepare." Kobayashi Nobuzo said to Koizumi Ayame meaningfully.  Koizumi nodded sadly: "I understand, let's hurry up and prepare." Early the next morning, thousands of sails set off at Xiamen Port, and nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers rode the wind and waves to the big and small Kinmen and other islands.  Go ahead.  Some warships of the navy fleet and air force fighter planes provided joint sea and air cover.  However, the expected fierce battle did not happen. Under the cover of naval warships and air force fighter planes, the first batch of landing troops easily landed on beaches from Guningtou, Tangwei and other places with almost no effort.  During the assault, they did not encounter any resistance. All they encountered were some roads, bridges and various fortifications that had been destroyed by the Japanese army.  It was not until the attacking troops found the local people who were hiding and inquired that they learned that the Japanese troops on the island had quietly evacuated since last night.  After Xue Yue learned of the situation, he ordered his troops to continue to attack Dachen Island, Matsu Islands and other nearby islands.   In Nanjing, after Zhang Xinghan received Xue Yue's report, he slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Huh, what do the navy do for food? Under such circumstances, the Japanese are allowed to slip away from under their noses." Jiang Baili stood aside.  Said: "Committee, there is no need to be angry. The main force of the naval fleet is still in Kyushu, and it is also responsible for sending troops to Kyushu Island to attack the Ryukyu Islands. Our naval power in Kinmen Island and other places is not sufficient, and the Japanese are in Kinmen, Matsu and Penghu  Having been operating the archipelago for many years, it is not surprising that they are able to escape easily. Now that the entire Taiwan and Penghu Islands have been successfully isolated by our army, even if the Japanese escape to Taiwan, they will not be able to escape for a few days. It will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out.  "Hmph. We can't just let it go. We will immediately convene a military committee meeting to reorganize all the navies participating in the Fujian Coastal Campaign into the National Revolutionary Army Navy's Third Fleet. I propose that Shen Honglie be appointed as the commander of the Navy's Third Fleet.  He is responsible for commanding the Third Fleet to cooperate with Xue Yue in attacking Taiwan," Zhang Xinghan snorted.  He is well aware that the system and composition of the current Navy have become somewhat chaotic since the reorganization of the new government.  It consists of the former Northeastern Navy, Zhang Xiaoliu's Qingdao Navy, and the Central Navy of the central faction. The Chinese Navy composed of these factions is nominally under the central command.  But in fact, everyone has their own little calculations, and things will continue like this in the long run.  It can easily lead to some disastrous consequences.  Zhang Xinghan plans to use Shen Honglie to integrate all naval forces so that they will eventually become a whole.  To facilitate future combat needs.  Jiang Baili was of course well aware of Zhang Xinghan's intentions, and immediately nodded and said: "The appointment is wise."  Fenghua, Ningbo, the hometown of Mr. Jiang.  Since the Military Commission decided on the operational plan to capture the Ryukyu Islands and recover lost lands such as Taiwan and the Penghu Islands.  After the swearing-in ceremony, Duke Jiang left Nanjing by plane.  Zhang Xinghan could not stay in Nanjing for one day.  Maybe it’s because one mountain can’t accommodate two tigers.  Fortunately, this war was led by Chairman Chiang’s confidant Xue Yue as the commander-in-chief.  While recuperating in his hometown in Fenghua, Jiang Gong was also paying attention to the progress of the battle situation on the front line every day.  He was also very happy to learn that Kinmen, Matsu Islands, and Penghu Islands were recaptured without a single shot and returned to the embrace of the motherland.  Chairman Chiang, who was in a good mood, walked out of the study with a cane.  Go for a walk in the small garden at the back.  Breathing the fresh air, away from the political arena of intrigues and intrigues, it is also very leisurely and comfortable to cultivate one's character and cultivate one's mind.     but.  Everything can never go as planned.  Chairman Chiang was enjoying this rare leisure time when a rush of footsteps came from outside the garden.  He looked back and saw the captain of the guard, Wang Shihe, walking in in a hurry.  Seeing Wang Shihe walking in a hurry, his face looked a little anxious.  Chairman Chiang asked: "Shihe, what's the matter in such a hurry?" "Commissioner. We just received a secret report from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Dai Li was secretly arrested by the Secrecy Bureau in Shanghai yesterday and has been taken to Nanjing." Wang Shihe hurriedly saluted.  .  Hearing this, Chairman Chiang frowned and said, "Will the rain farmers be caught by the Secrecy Bureau?" It was obvious that he didn't believe it in his words.  &nbsp; "Commissioner, there is absolutely no lie in this matter, because just now, the latest news came from the Central Bureau of Statistics, Zhang Xinghan has pardoned Dai Li, and reporters from Nanjing's China Daily and other newspapers have conducted extensive reports and interviews.  "Wang Shihe said.  When Chairman Chiang heard this, his face gradually turned livid, and his left hand holding the cane trembled slightly.  "Order Chen Lifu to get rid of Dai Li immediately. Tell him to get rid of him at all costs, the sooner the better!" Chairman Jiang finally had murderous intentions. Dai Li, as his right-hand man, knew too many of his secrets.  Many of them are invisible to people.  Regardless of whether Dai Li really rebelled, the suspicious Chairman Chiang was unwilling to keep him alive for one more day.  Wang Shihe bowed his head and said goodbye before leaving.  However, Chairman Jiang waved his hand to stop him: "Shihe, no, don't be anxious now. Tell Li Fu that if possible, bring Dai Li to Fenghua to see me. Once he is killed, the Military Command Bureau will probably be annexed by the Secrecy Bureau.  . ” …………… Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf, the military martial law here has been lifted, except for some necessary guards at the wharf and city gate.  Everything else is as normal, and the pier is back to its usual hustle and bustle.  Cargo ships of all sizes were coming in and out, and countless workers were moving and unloading various goods from the moored cargo ships to the dock, like a busy ant colony.  The train ferry at Pukou Station will make a round trip in the near future, transporting merchants from both sides of the river across the river.  Dai Li was dressed in a low-key dress, wearing a bamboo hat and walking among the endless flow of people, and cautiously walked towards the pier.  When he sees suspicious people gathering in groups of three or two, he will immediately dodge and change lanes.  As the leader of the Military Command Bureau, Dai Li certainly understood Zhang Xinghan’s intention of releasing him, and even more so, given Chairman Chiang’s suspicious character.  Regardless of whether he surrendered to Zhang Xinghan or not.  It is absolutely impossible for him to reuse himself again, and in order to hide some invisible secrets of his own, he will definitely kill himself to silence him.  Therefore, after Dai Li was voluntarily released by the Secrecy Bureau, he immediately disappeared and prepared to take a ship to escape back to Shanghai to find Du Yuesheng.  As for whether the Secrecy Bureau, which released him unconditionally, was following him, Dai Li couldn't care less.  He is mainly on guard against Zhongtong, who is his mortal enemy. Since Zhang Xinghan chose to release him, he probably didn't want to kill him.  Dai Li has been working as a spy for many years, so he is very familiar with concealing his whereabouts.  But Zhongtong is not a vegetarian either.  Especially when Zhang Xinghan instructed the Secrecy Bureau to secretly reveal Dai Li's whereabouts to him.  It was expected that Dai Li would be discovered.  When he just wanted to board a cargo ship flying the French flag, four young men dressed in black surrounded him from the left and right directions.  The vigilance developed through many years of professional experience made Dai Li immediately aware of the approaching danger.  He glanced slightly in two directions, and was suddenly shocked. He frowned and immediately wanted to turn around and go back the way he came.  Seeing this, the four men in black also quickened their pace.  Seeing Dai Li quickening his pace and about to flee, the four men in black took out their weapons and started shooting.  This is the order they received before leaving.  If you can capture them alive, it's best to capture them alive. If you can't capture them alive, shoot them.  As soon as the gunfire rang out, Dai Li quickly accelerated and bent down and ran towards the crowd. An unlucky passerby was hit by several bullets and died tragically on the spot.  The four men in black missed a single hit.  He quickly chased after him with a pistol in hand, shooting forward from time to time.  But Dai Li always managed to escape through the chaos of the crowd.  The sound of gunfire alerted the police guards at the city gate and pier, who heard the sound and rushed from two directions.  The chaotic people blocked their way to the scene of the incident, and Dai Li ran for his life.  Not long after he ran, he was shot in the right leg by a man in black.  Dai Li screamed and fell to the ground.  Blood gushed out from his right leg and soon stained the ground red.  Seeing several men in black approaching quickly, four black guns were pointed at him.  Dai Li suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His face was pale and frightened, and he desperately dragged his injured leg towards the front.  "Bang bang bang" Several rapid gunshots sounded in vain. Dai Li, who was crawling hard, closed his eyes unwillingly, but after a while, he realized that he had not been shot.  "Quick, quick, let me control the scene. No one is allowed to leave casually." I heard voices and chaotic footsteps.After hearing this, Dai Li opened his eyes blankly and raised his head.  I saw a group of armed Japanese soldiers in front of me, led by a captain officer, running through the chaotic crowd and running over.  I don’t know if they fired the gun just now.  When he looked back, he saw that the four men in black who wanted to kill him were already dead on the spot.  "And in the direction of the pier, there was about a platoon of ** officers and soldiers running towards this side with guns in hand.  "Captain Zhang, what's going on?" A second lieutenant platoon leader who led the team from the direction of the dock asked the captain from before.  The company commander surnamed Zhang looked at the injured Dai Li and the four men in black who were shot dead by someone unknown, and said: "I don't know what happened. I just heard the gunfire and came with my men." "  There are many injured people here, we should send them to the city for rescue first, and then report to the summit," said the second lieutenant platoon leader.  "Okay." The captain officer turned around and waved to the subordinates behind him: "You guys take this man to the field hospital in the city for treatment. Keep an eye on him and don't let him go until the command comes from the top."  ps: Thanks to sister enigmayanxi and brother Tianhai Xiangyun for their generous rewards. I wish everyone will be rich and successful immediately!  (To be continued)

    "Commissioner, Dai Li has been captured. He was injured and is now placed in a hospital of our military in the city." Shen Xingye reported to Zhang Xinghan.  "Is there no problem with safety?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Commissioner, please rest assured. In addition to the secret protection from our Secrecy Bureau, there are also people from the city defense force who are guarding and protecting us openly. There should be no problem." Shen Xingye said.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, the time has come to recruit Dai Li." "I understand, I will make arrangements now." Shen Xingye lowered his head and said, seeing Zhang Xinghan nodding in agreement, he respectfully conveyed his farewell and left.  Half an hour later, a military hospital on Zhongshan Road.  A group of guards jumped out of several military jeeps and trucks and set out on guard.  Accompanied by Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye, Zhang Xinghan pushed out the back door of a car in the middle.  He looked around and walked towards the hospital surrounded by the two of them.  Arriving outside a ward, a doctor who had been notified long ago said respectfully: "The patient has undergone surgery to remove the bullet. Everything is basically normal now and there is no danger to his life." After Zhang Xinghan nodded, the doctor  He and other medical staff left on their own.  Zhang Xinghan pushed open the door of the ward, and the sound of the door opening alerted Dai Li, who had just finished the operation and was still lying in bed.  From his expression, you can see obvious vigilance and a bit of panic.  Seeing that the visitor was Zhang Xinghan, Dai Li was obviously startled.  "Hello, Boss Dai." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan’s seemingly amiable smile was no longer the case in Dai Li’s eyes.  It's like a demon with a smiling face but whose main goal is to devour human flesh.  Dai Li felt a chill rising from the end of his spine and spreading throughout his body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.  "Zhang, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, what's the matter with you?" Dai Li's face was probably pale because of excessive bleeding.  However, he was also a person who had experienced some big scenes. He quickly calmed down his excitement and asked.  "I heard that you were injured, Boss Dai, and Xinghan came here to visit you. He had no other ill intentions." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  Dai Li smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you and I are both smart people, so why don't we go through all these meanderings? Just say something clearly." After saying that, Dai Li looked at it vaguely.  Guo Zhong and Dai Li behind Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan saw Dai Li's weak move and saw that he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.  He nodded secretly in his mind.  Dai Li is indeed a thoughtful person. If it weren't for Jiang Gong's loss of power, it would be really difficult for him to capture him.  Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Refreshing, Brother Yunong is indeed a cheerful person." After saying that, he turned to Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye and said: "Zhongzi, Yi Zhi. You two go out first, I have something to say with Boss Dai.  Let's have a good chat." Guo Zhong said uneasily, "But, please." Shen Xingye also had a look of worry on his face.  Zhang Xinghan said: "Why, Zhongzi, aren't you still worried about my abilities?" Guo Zhong thought of Zhang Xinghan's skills, so he and Shen Xingye looked at each other, then turned and left one after another.  After the two left, Zhang Xinghan turned around but did not speak.  Dai Li had already spoken first: "If Yu Nong guessed correctly, Chairman Zhang, you arrested Dai Li first and released him with great fanfare just to arouse Chairman Jiang's suspicion and induce Jiang Gong to send the Central Commander to kill me, right?" Zhang Xinghan  Nodding his head, the admiration in his eyes was undisguised and he said: "As expected of Dai Li, the big boss of the military command, he figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing in such a short period of time." Dai Li smiled bitterly and said: "Dai also has some problems.  What I don’t understand is that since Commander-in-Chief Zhang is determined to get rid of Jiang Gongyi’s right hand and has disclosed my whereabouts to the Central Committee, why did you try to save me from the assassination? " Zhang Xinghan saw that the time had come and immediately said  : "The reason is very simple, that is, I need you, China's spy king Dai Li!" Dai Li smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you don't have to do this to Dai. Any rumors about Mr. Jiang are forbidden.  Dai can tell you anything that comes to light, but there is one thing you need to promise, Commander-in-Chief, and that is to protect Dai’s family from revenge after my death.” Zhang Xinghan shook his head and said, “Yunong.  Brother, you are overthinking. I am not trying to get any information, nor am I trying to use this to discredit Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. I really need you. As long as you are willing, the Military Command Bureau will still be under your command., I can give you whatever Mr. Jiang can give you, and I can give you whatever Mr. Jiang cannot give you.  " Dai Li saw Zhang Xinghan's serious face, and there was no trace of joking or hypocrisy in his eyes. He couldn't turn around and said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the Secrecy Bureau under your command is also the first-class intelligence organization in the country. You?  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Why, Mr. Jiang can use both military and central unified swords at the same time, but I, Zhang, can't have two swords?"  " Dai Li was startled at first, and then suddenly realized that he was a smart man. At this moment, he really felt like he was going to survive a disaster. He immediately supported his weak body to salute Zhang Xinghan and said: "Thanks to the commission and never give up, Dai Yunong swears allegiance to the death, and will never give up.  betray.  " "Brother Yunong, don't worry. I, Zhang, am not going to do the thing where the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog cooks it, and the good bird hides its bow.  Those who follow me will be rich and prosperous, and they will definitely be there for the rest of their lives.  I will give you absolute trust and support, and I guarantee it with my personality.  It has been more than six years since the army was launched in Shenyang. Zhang Xinghan has always spoken with a clear voice and has never broken a promise. You must know this.  " Dai Li swallowed with moist eyes and said: "I have been so kind to you, and Yu Nong will definitely go through fire and water to repay it.  Zhang Xinghan patted him on the shoulder lightly and said: "The first priority is to recover from your injuries. The military commander is still waiting for you to lead."  "  Penghu Islands. As a large number of landing troops successfully landed, flags with blue sky and white sun began to flutter in the wind over the islands. Tens of thousands of troops who landed on the islands burst into earth-shattering cheers, and various celebrations  The sound of gunfire resounded across the sky. At this point, the two attack groups had formed a two-sided attack on Taiwan. After Zhang Xinghan returned from the hospital, he was in a good mood. He was not worried that Dai Li would rebel against him.  The moment Chairman Chiang decided to kill him, he was already tied to his warship. He was both prosperous and devastated. As soon as he arrived at the Military Commission, he met Jiang Baili and greeted him excitedly. He said to Zhang Xinghan:  "Commissioner, General Xue Yue has recovered all our islands except Taiwan. Tens of thousands of landing troops from the West Route Army have stationed in the Penghu Islands. One hundred thousand troops from Nanjing have also arrived in Fujian. The time is ripe for a large-scale attack on Taiwan!  "

    "Very good, order Xue Yue to prepare for an attack immediately. Without further ado, we must end this battle as soon as possible without knowing whether Britain, the United States and other Western powers will join the war." Zhang Xinghan said.  While talking, the two of them had already taken the lead and walked inside.  Jiang Baili followed Zhang Xinghan and said: "According to the latest intelligence detected by the Secrecy Bureau, the American Pacific Fleet has no signs of moving eastward, and the British have no signs of moving westward to join the war. There should be no problem." "I hope so.  , If Britain and the United States join the war, then this war may escalate into a full-scale war between us and Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries. In that case, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for us." Zhang Xinghan sighed, of course Zhang Xinghan did not.  Fear of all-out war, relying on China's vast territory and vast strategic depth.  There will be a day when you win.  However, once such a protracted war is carried out in China, it will inevitably bring immeasurable disasters and losses to countless Chinese compatriots.  Therefore, war cannot be started lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.  ……………… In late October of the 25th year of the Republic of China, Bai Chongxi, who was supervising the war on behalf of the Military Commission, arrived in Xiamen and met with the former enemy commander-in-chief Xue Yue.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s telegram instructions, Xue Yue and Bai Chongxi held a careful discussion and decided to launch a campaign to attack Taiwan before the cold air of winter arrived in November.  At this moment, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops on Taiwan Island is about 100,000, and the naval and air forces are almost negligible.  The National Revolutionary Army has absolute advantages in all aspects.  In order to make full use of our naval and air force advantages without any compromise, it is wisest to launch an attack before winter.  At this time, the total number of land, sea and air forces assembled by the Chinese ** team was close to 300,000.  They are 100,000 Fujian border troops and 100,000 Central Army troops transferred from the Jiangnan and Central Plains front armies.  Fifty thousand troops and more than 30,000 navy and marine troops were dispatched to Japan.  There are more than 3,000 people in the air force.  If you include the large number of logistics personnel and the people in Fujian and other places who organized themselves to assist the troops in combat.  ?Then the size of the troops mobilized by the Chinese Army has exceeded 500,000.  The nearly 300,000 people in front are all real front-line combat troops.  In addition to the 50,000 army dispatched to Japan and a group of marines, they are temporarily stationed outside the Ryukyu Islands.  One hundred thousand Fujian border troops and one hundred thousand Central Army troops have been sent to the Penghu Islands in batches, preparing to use them as an advance base to launch an attack on Taiwan's main island.  As for the Air Force, the distance from the Fujian frontier to important ports and cities on the northern coast of Taiwan is completely within the effective strike range of Chinese fighter jets.  Therefore, the trouble of building military airports on islands such as the Penghu Islands is avoided.  According to the established combat plan by Xue Yue, Bai Chongxi and others, the Fujian Border Defense Force and the Central Army, which are closer to Taiwan, will take the lead in launching the attack.  Attract the strength and attention of Japanese troops in the west and south of Taiwan Island.  The dispatched troops stationed in Japan, which were further away, set off from the Ryukyu Islands and landed from the north and east of Taiwan respectively while the two sides were fighting.  The Japanese do not have enough troops and cannot take care of each other, so they are bound to be defeated.  After the combat plan was reported to Zhang Xinghan, it was quickly approved.  October 29, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China.  The weather along the coast of Fujian is quite mild, and the sun has just risen from the sea level in the east.  At the military airport in Xiamen, a large number of Chinese fighter planes and bombers began to roar and take off one after another.  "Immediately began to fly towards the central and southern part of Taiwan across the strait, covering the sky and the sun."  At the same time, a large number of fighter jets and bombers took off from Fuzhou Airport and flew towards northern Taiwan.  Within the ports of Penghu Islands and Ryukyu Islands.  A large number of Chinese warships rumbled into action, loaded with fully armed Chinese soldiers, heading towards Taiwan.  After the fleet of aircraft taking off from Xiamen Airport flew into the airspace near the Penghu Islands, they began to disperse into two groups in the air, flying towards Tainan, Kaohsiung and Taichung respectively. ? Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Chiayi, Kaohsiung and Keelung and other important cities and ports.  All were under air strikes by the Chinese Air Force.  Of course, the targets of the Chinese Air Force's air strikes cannot be those urban entities, but the various Japanese military facilities, arsenals and other military-industrial facilities near the city.  This time, Zhang Xinghan equipped Xue Yue with a total of 300 long-range Zero fighter jets and more than 200 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers during the expedition to Taiwan.  Plus dozens of reconnaissance aircraft are available for this battleThe number of fighter planes involved in the simulated air strike has exceeded 600.  It is enough to carry out simultaneous air strikes on the military facilities in the above-mentioned ports and cities.  Taipei’s Keelung Port, since the Governor-General ordered all Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan to enter a state of first-level combat readiness.  The Japanese troops in the port have all entered a state of war and are ready to fight at any time.  When about twenty or so B-17 Flying Fortress bombers, escorted by thirty Zero fighter jets, flew into the airspace near Keelung Military Port.  A piercing and long siren sounded in vain in the military port.  Countless Japanese soldiers ran out of the barracks and headed straight for their respective defensive positions.  Having no air or sea control, the Japanese invaders on Taiwan Island were equipped with anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns as much as possible.  to strengthen their air defense capabilities.  Strategic locations such as Keelung Military Port guard the important gateway in northern Taiwan.  Many large and small air defense positions have been built to form a dense air defense firepower network.  Hundreds of Japanese air defense troops have just entered their respective air defense positions in a tense and orderly manner.  The Chinese fighter jets roared over, and the nervous Japanese soldiers opened fire one after another. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns erupted in vain with deafening roars.  “Ta-ta-ta-ta…boom-boom-boom…” The sound of rapid and intensive firing resounded throughout Keelung Port.  Dense anti-aircraft machine gun bullets were like chains of fire chasing the Chinese fighter jets that roared past at high speed in the air.  The explosions of anti-aircraft shells were like fireworks rising into the sky.  It was bright and dazzling, and the sound shook the sky, like thunder.  "The bomber group immediately carried out intensive bombing at high altitudes to cover the Zero fighter group and clear the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower at low altitudes." In a Zero fighter, a major of the Chinese Air Force calmly issued combat orders through the radio.  More than twenty Flying Fortress bombers opened their bomb bays one after another, and heavy aerial bombs fell rapidly from high altitude towards Keelung Port in a free fall with a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.  "俅俅俅俅" A long and sharp whistling sound resounded through the sky. In less than a minute, there was a group of earth-shaking big explosions in Keelung Port on the ground.  ???????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Balls of thick smoke and fire soared into the sky with the explosion, and almost submerged the entire Keelung Port.  In the flames of the explosion, many Japanese air defense positions were damaged by violent explosion shock waves.  Anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns and other weapons were blown into ruins, and the Japanese soldiers who controlled these weapons were dismembered into countless pieces on the spot.  The next moment, more than thirty Zero fighter jets, led by the air force major, swooped down like falcons.  Intense strafing and bombing of small aerial bombs accurately landed on the Japanese's surviving air defense positions.  The Japanese's damaged air defense fire network was completely destroyed and paralyzed this time.  After the air force major led his men to swoop and bombard one side, the group of bombers circling in the high altitude finally began to lower their flying altitude.  Launched devastating precision bombing on important military targets in Keelung Military Port.  Half an hour later, the entire Keelung Military Port had turned into a sea of ??flames and ruins.  ………… Taipei, the Governor-General’s Mansion of the Japanese Invading Army.  Commander Aya Koizumi and Governor Kobayashi Shizuo were waiting in front of the map anxiously for news of the battle.  A Japanese military communications soldier hurried in holding a message.  He saluted the former and said breathlessly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Keelung military port has been almost razed to the ground by the Chinese air force. Our garrison, especially the air defense force, has suffered total losses. In addition, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung have also suffered losses.  They suffered heavy air attacks and bombings from the Chinese air force's mixed fleet, and the air defense force was almost completely lost." Koizumi Aya's face became extremely solemn when he heard this, and Kobayashi Jizo's expression was not good-looking, and he said worriedly: "  How powerful the Chinese are, it is not difficult to judge from the empire's loss of air and sea control. Our air defense force is already insufficient, and now the situation is even worse." Koizumi Aya was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Air defense force.  We are weak and unable to resist the Chinese air attack. This has been my expectation. We still have a hundred thousand troops. No matter what, the Chinese will pay heavy casualties for any further advance. So I decided, Governor Xiaolin, it is up to you and me.  The two of them issued a desperate order to all the people of the Japanese Empire on the island. In this way, we will not only have 100,000 people fighting, but 500,000.?Even more.  " Long before the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese had immigrated to Taiwan. After the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, in order to facilitate the implementation of assimilation rule over Taiwan, Japan assimilated Taiwanese into Japanese as quickly as possible. It even immigrated to Taiwan in large numbers, and even  Many policies have been introduced to encourage Japanese to immigrate to Taiwan. As a result, the number of Japanese immigrating to Taiwan has increased significantly in the past century. In addition to military family members, many people have moved their families to Taiwan.  Under the instruction of the military, various forms of marriages have been carried out with the locals in Taiwan. Therefore, if all the Japanese in Taiwan engage in jade-breaking operations, the resistance the Chinese ** team will face will increase several times in an instant.  Times. Of course, Kobayashi Shizuo also knows what this means. Once he issues this order, hundreds of thousands of ordinary Japanese people will be trapped in this immeasurable whirlpool of disaster.

    Seeing Kobayashi's hesitation, Koizumi Aya said hastily: "Your Majesty Governor, if Taiwan is recaptured by the Chinese, with their unyielding character of revenge, do you think the Chinese civilians on the island will be spared?" "Rather than wait until they become  The slaves of the Chinese people are left to be slaughtered. It is better to let them take up arms and fight for the Japanese Empire to the end. Killing one more Chinese soldier can avenge the sacrifice of the imperial warrior!  You must make up your mind!" Koizumi Aya said.  After a series of persuasion by Aya Koizumi, Kobayashi Jizo was finally persuaded, nodded, and issued the crazy order.  …………… After the first round of fierce air strikes by the Chinese Air Force, tens of thousands of Japanese landing troops from the Penghu Islands followed.  Dozens of large and small naval warships began to launch fierce shelling on Budai Town, Jiangjun District, and Beimen District in Tainan and Chiayi areas.  Cover your own landing troops for beach landing.  The Japanese defense forces in the above-mentioned areas suffered heavy losses in the air raid just now, and were suddenly hit by a group of naval gunfire.  With heavy casualties, they were unable to resist the Chinese soldiers’ beach landing.  About several thousand Japanese landing troops successfully landed on the beach and quickly penetrated deep into the island.  Although the Japanese fought back vigorously, they lacked tanks and were lagging behind in weapons and equipment, and they were unable to drive away the landing Chinese soldiers.  Two hours later, the total strength of the Chinese ** troops that successfully landed from the above three areas exceeded 20,000, exceeding the total Japanese defense force in this area.  And with the landing of tank and armored troops, the assault capability of the landing troops was greatly strengthened, and the Japanese were defeated like a mountain.  Four hours later, support troops landed on the island in a steady stream, and the troops were divided into two groups and assaulted in the north and south directions.  The targets are directly at Tainan and Chiayi.  However, the attacking troops encountered something unexpected as they advanced.  Most of those attacking southward were troops from the Fujian Border Guard Army, whose vanguard had fought fiercely with the Japanese in Shanghai.  The old unit of the 19th Route Army, which was defeated by the Japanese coach Sanyi.  The team was led by a battalion-level commander named Chen Zhenglun, who was about thirty years old.  They landed in the Jiangjun area and then attacked southward along the highway. Their mission was to clear the way for the main force to attack Tainan.  Taiwan at this time was different from the densely populated Taiwan in later history. Its population was still very small. Today's Jiangjun District and other places are still some coastal wasteland beaches.  Chen Zhenglun led his battalion of more than 500 people and advanced along the highway to about five kilometers away from Tainan City. When the road passed through a small town.  An unusual situation was discovered that surprised all the soldiers in the battalion.  This town is very prosperous because it is close to the transportation artery from Chiayi to Tainan.  There are many shops and many of them are Japanese businessmen.  They use the support of the military to describe themselves as superiors and suppress local businessmen in Taiwan in all aspects. Bullying of men and women often occurs.  However, since a military vehicle from Tainan drove into the town in the morning, all Japanese businessmen have stopped doing business.  He started burning down his own shops, and that’s not all.  They also killed all Taiwanese people in the town.  Then the whole family, men, women, old and young, all armed with weapons, led by the Japanese soldiers in the car, walked out of the town.  Because of the high-pressure and cruel rule of the Japanese in Taiwan, in order to deal with possible attacks from the Chinese at any time.  Basically every Japanese household is equipped with some weapons.  These weapons include guns and Japanese samurai swords.  The soldiers around Chen Zhenglun had already set up their battle formations, and all the light and heavy machine guns were set up.  The official rifles of the Hanyang War in the hands of other soldiers were also aimed at the Japanese crowd in front of them blocking the entrance road to the town.  Looking at the Japanese Japs, both male and female, old and young, an adjutant beside Chen Zhenglun asked doubtfully: "The camp. What do these little Japs want to do? Each and every one of them is armed." Chen Zhenglun came from the Japanese opposite.  There was obvious hatred and anger in the person's eyes.  As a professional soldier, he knew that he was coming with bad intentions and already had a plan in mind.  The right hand wearing a white glove has quietly touched the gun at the waist.  "Kill Gaga!" Several Japanese men with white cloths on their heads waved their samurai swords and roared ferociously.  Then he took the lead and rushed towards Chen Zhenglun and the others.  &nbsp; The nearly a thousand Japanese behind him shouted like crazy and rushed towards them.  When several Japanese people just made a sudden move, Chen Zhenglun quickly pulled out his gun, quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.  The two fanatical Japanese soldiers who were running at the front fell down one after another.  The sound of gunfire was an order, and the various weapons in the hands of the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time opened fire.  A dense barrage of bullets suddenly shot toward the crowd of Japanese soldiers like water.  The Japanese soldiers who were shouting feverishly fell down in rows like wheat harvested by a harvester.  "Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click", nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers fell down quickly in pieces.  Some bombardiers threw a lot of grenades, which blew up the Japanese soldiers until they were bloody and bloody, and died miserably.  They are not well-trained soldiers, but ordinary civilians, many of whom are powerless women and children.  The only thing they could do was to follow the people sent by the military in front of them with full of fear, running forward desperately, shouting some fanatical slogans that would not help at all in order to embolden themselves.  Or grab some swords, guns and sticks.  There is no suspense in such a battle, or it cannot be called a battle at all, but a suicidal attack and a one-sided massacre.  After more than ten minutes, the intensive gunfire finally stopped, and the road to the entrance of the town was already littered with Japanese corpses.  There are men and women, old and young.  Blood dyed the earth red, and the air was filled with the disgusting stench of blood.  Chen Zhenglun seemed to turn a blind eye to all this. He stepped over the Japanese corpses with a pistol and walked towards the town.  When he led his men into this usually bustling and lively town, the tragic scene inside the town was even worse than outside the town.  The stone-paved streets were littered with corpses.  There are also men and women, old and young, but the only difference is that they are wearing Chinese clothes.  Many of these corpses were children less than one meter tall, and even infants and toddlers. Without exception, they were all brutally killed by the Japanese. Some had their heads cut off, and some were mutilated.  Opened the young belly.  The shops on both sides of the street were still burning, possibly due to the choking smoke. Chen Zhenglun had fought against the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai five years ago.  A Chinese veteran battalion commander who had participated in the Northern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition, he was a tough guy like iron. Tears could not help but flow from his eyes.  He did not wipe away the tears that might have surprised his subordinates. Instead, he took off the military cap on his head, held the gun in one hand and the military cap in the other, and knelt down.  When the hundreds of soldiers behind him saw this, they also quickly knelt down.  Many soldiers were filled with tears, gnashing their teeth, and were filled with grief.  "Fellows, I, Chen Zhenglun, swear here. I will kill all the little Japanese on the island and avenge this blood feud for you!" Chen Zhenglun said with tears in his eyes and gritted his teeth.  After saying that, he stood up, turned around and looked at his subordinates who also stood up.  He said in a deep voice: "Brothers, from now on, I have only one order for you. That is to kill every Japanese you see. We don't want any prisoners, regardless of gender, old or young, we will kill them without mercy."  ! One day, if we can land on the Japanese mainland, we must carry out this military order to the letter! The blood debt must be repaid with blood! The Japanese killed infants and dozens of years old.  Even the old people are unwilling to let go. How can we, the noble Chinese soldiers, not avenge such a blood feud!" "Kill all the little Japanese!" More than 500 soldiers raised their weapons in anger and roared in unison!  .  Chen Zhenglun led his men to bury the bodies of the murdered compatriots, and then headed towards Tainan City with the troops who arrived later.  At this time, Tainan City had turned into a hell on earth. Because the Japanese knew that there was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement, they launched a crazy and inhumane killing and arson operation in the city.  Countless Chinese people fell under the butcher knife of the Japanese. Of course, the number of Japanese and Japanese overseas Chinese in Tainan City still only accounts for a very small part.  After being suddenly persecuted by the Japanese, more and more Taiwan compatriots knew that the mainland’s troops were coming.  They all picked up all kinds of swords, guns and sticks and began to resist desperately.  Although there were heavy casualties, it also prevented the Japanese from continuing to commit evil and destruction in Tainan to a certain extent.  Because the Japanese have gone crazyIn a frantic state, Chen Zhenglun and other friendly troops easily invaded the city.  The troops began to rescue the Chinese people who were besieged and killed by the Japanese along the streets, and shot all the Japanese they encountered.  This situation is happening in most areas of central and southern Taiwan. The Japanese who are fighting to the death have completely lost their humanity and reason.  Fortunately, the 200,000 gunmen attacked quickly and tried their best to eliminate the Japanese who were killing people and setting fires everywhere, regained most of the cities, and saved the precious lives of countless compatriots.  ………………Nanjing, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.  After listening to Guo Zhong's report, Zhang Xinghan's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth with a solemn expression: "Immediately notify the my country Daily to expose to the world the inhumane Japanese evil deeds in Taiwan. And in the name of the Military Commission, announce to the world, The Japanese violated the spirit of humanitarianism and international conventions and massacred our unarmed civilians. Our government and army must not sit idly by and ignore it. Whenever we fight Japan in the future, we will make the Japanese pay with their blood at all costs.” ps: Today!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 512: Battle of Yizhou (7)

    In Taipei City, the Japanese Invading Army Governor's Mansion.  "Mr. Koizumi, Tainan and Taichung have been recaptured by the Chinese. Many of our soldiers and civilians have been shot dead, and a small number of them have fled to the mountains. The war in Taiwan is about to reach its final moment." Governor Kobayashi Shizuo said with some regret.  He impulsively adopted Koizumi Aya’s suggestion, but in less than two days, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers and civilians were wiped out.  Although they also killed many Chinese people, this did not seem to have any other effect except adding anger and excuses for revenge to the Chinese people.  Moreover, at this time, Kobayashi Shizuo remembered that Kyushu Island in his country was still under the occupation of the Chinese. He seemed to be able to predict how the angry Chinese soldiers would pour their anger on the Japanese people on Kyushu Island.  Go on your body.  Koizumi Aya didn't seem to take it seriously at all. He lowered his head and looked at the map and said: "Another Chinese army from the Ryukyu Islands has now landed in Keelung. It won't take half a day at most to reach Taipei. It's time for us to retreat."  "What did you say? Retreat?" Xiaolin Jizao was shocked and said: "Xiaoizumi-kun, how do we retreat?" Koizumi Aya raised her head and looked at Xiaolin Jizao who was full of surprise and said: "Xiaolin-kun, you still remember that we came from the Penghu Islands  How did you evacuate the troops stationed on the islands such as Kinmen and Matsu? "Kobayashi Jizo suddenly said: "You mean to retreat by submarine?" Koizumi Aya nodded and said: "These days, I have been ordering those ships.  The submarine dives into the sea during the day to avoid the Chinese air force bombing, and then begins to refuel with fuel, ammunition, domestic water and other daily necessities, so that we can evacuate safely at the last moment. " "Since you have already done so.  If you plan to evacuate, why do you still ask me to issue an order for the entire island to fight?" Xiao Lin Jizao asked angrily.  Koizumi Aya smiled slightly but did not answer.  Seeing this, Kobayashi Shizuo was furious and said: "Koizumi-kun, how can you still laugh? Do you know that hundreds of thousands of Yamato people lost their lives just because of your one decision?" "Kobayashi-kun, first of all,  Don't get angry. Let's evacuate first," Koizumi said.  "Retreat, we have made such a big mistake, where can we retreat to? Yesterday, the Chinese government issued a statement. In addition to condemning our crazy actions in Taiwan, it also announced that it will carry out a retaliatory war against the empire at any cost in the future.  I can even imagine what kind of cruel revenge the millions of citizens on the Imperial Kyushu Island will suffer! You and I are all sinners of the Yamato nation. Even if we can escape back to Tokyo, we will definitely be punished by the base camp and the emperor.  Your Majesty's punishment will also lead to death!" Xiao Lin Jizao said with some dismay.  Koizumi Aya smiled mysteriously and said: "Mr. Xiaolin, you are too pessimistic. If I tell you that the reason why I suggested that you order all the soldiers and civilians on the island to fight to the death is because of the highest order from the base camp, you still  Do you think so?" "What?" Xiaolin Jizao was shocked when he heard this.  With a face full of disbelief, he said: "What did you say? The highest order of the base camp, how is this possible? Why did the base camp do this?" Koizumi Aya said meaningfully: "For no other reason, just to arouse the people of the country to  The hatred of the Chinese people is what inspires people’s fighting spirit and belief. When the Chinese people regained their territory in Taiwan, they brutally killed hundreds of thousands of our overseas Chinese in Taiwan.  I believe that once our people learn about it, they will be blinded by hatred and all other distractions. At the same time, they will fully support the empire's revival and expand its armaments to fight the final battle with the Chinese. Only in this way can we, the Yamato people, not fight against China.  People are lucky to prevent the Japanese Empire from becoming a colonial dependency of the Chinese people. There are only two final outcomes between us and the Chinese people, either defeat and genocide, or victory for us.  This is true for the Chinese who invaded, and it is even more true for the Chinese to attack us." After a pause, Koizumi Aya said to Kobayashi who was still in deep shock: "Kobayashi-kun, so, now you understand?  There will be no risk to our lives if we evacuate. We secretly want to return to the base camp. At the same time, we are also witnesses of the brutal massacre and persecution in Riqiao, Taiwan. At most, you and I will be dismissed from our positions for poor command. There will be no future at the base camp.  The opportunity will use us again." Xiao Lin nodded slightly after a long time.Finally, I finally came back to my senses.  …………… Two days later, the National Revolutionary Army recovered all the inherent Chinese territories that had been colonized by the Japanese for nearly half a century, including Taiwan and the Penghu Islands.  Japanese soldiers and civilians on the island.  Except for a few who have fled into the mountains and forests of Taiwan, the guerrillas are further clearing them up with the cooperation of local compatriots.  Most of them were basically killed in battle, and because of the crazy and inhumane actions of the Japanese at the last moment.  As a result, countless Taiwanese compatriots regard hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers as life-saving gods and support and admire them. For a time, millions of people in Yizhou, who were almost assimilated under Japanese colonial rule, all surrendered their hearts to the central government.  After the war, the streets and alleys were filled with various banners and posters welcoming the arrival of the central government.  **When soldiers patrol the streets, they will be surrounded by enthusiastic men and women from time to time bringing large amounts of condolences.  Some female compatriots who are so lustful make the shy old faces of the Chinese soldiers who are so lively and invincible on the battlefield blush and feel at a loss.  The recovery of the Taiwan Islands and even the Ryukyu Islands also caused a huge sensation on the mainland across the Taiwan Strait.  Countless Chinese people were so excited that they almost stayed up all night, rushing to tell each other. The support rate for the new government reorganized by Zhang Xinghan has risen to an unprecedented height.  In this time and space, when the Treaty of Shimonoseki is mentioned and the ceded territories such as Taiwan are thought of, countless Chinese people are heartbroken.  This is the greatest sorrow and shame in the hearts of all Chinese people since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894.  Today, less than a year after Zhang Xinghan formed the new government, he has used practical actions to explain what kind of government and what kind of army.  That is truly serving the country and the people.  To defend the country’s territorial integrity and national dignity, we must do our part.  The whole Chinese nation is excited and celebrating.  Overseas Chinese are even more excited.  After Taiwan was recovered, Zhang Xinghan sent Finance Minister Zhang Jingjiang.  A large number of government officials, including Vice President Zhou Gong of the Executive Yuan, rushed to Taiwan to preside over post-war reconstruction, appease the people, and stabilize public sentiment.  In addition, Xue Yue was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the troops stationed in Taiwan, and he began to build various necessary military facilities such as airports, ports, terminals, etc. across Taiwan.     at the same time.  The Navy's Third Fleet led by Shen Honglie will be deployed nearby in the Taiwan Strait to be responsible for defending the security of China's territorial waters in the South China Sea.  ……………… The Battle of Yizhou ended successfully, and this strategic location guarding the western Pacific transportation route was recovered. Zhang Xinghan began to order the First and Second Fleets of the Navy to begin to strengthen the attack on the Japanese archipelago waters, especially where Hokkaido is located.  Passage in and out of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.  Carry out a tighter blockade.  At this time, the Americans and British did not want to go into full-scale war with the Republic of China, which had successfully reorganized itself, regained the Taiwan Islands, and replaced Japan as the most powerful country in Asia.  Therefore, the volume of support and export trade to Japan has dropped significantly, and the reconstruction plan that the Japanese have been working hard to carry out has almost been forced to stop.  Therefore, Ishihara Kanji was forced to secretly fly to the other side of the ocean again to seek continued substantive support from Britain, the United States and other countries.  The Americans wanted to avoid the collapse of Japan.  Being defeated prematurely by the Chinese, Roosevelt ordered the Pacific Fleet to march to the Japanese Islands.  The fleets of Britain, France and other countries in the Far East also passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the South China Sea. ??????????? Militarily oppress the Republic of China.  At the same time, Britain, the United States, France and other countries jointly put diplomatic pressure on the Republic of China, requiring the Chinese military to lift Japan's inhumane comprehensive strategic blockade.  Finally, considering that it was not the time to completely fall out with Britain, the United States, France and other countries, under the persuasion of a large number of people such as Zhu Gong, Mao Gong and Jiang Baili.  Zhang Xinghan decided to temporarily take a step back and lift the comprehensive blockade on Japan and change it to a focused blockade to ensure that the normal life of tens of millions of Japanese citizens can continue.  And in fact, everyone knows it.  The Americans, Britain, France and other countries will continue to provide contraband assistance to the Japanese in secret.  In the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nanjing National Government.  Zhang Xinghan said with a livid face: "Is this a national humiliation?! I will repay it one day!" Jiang Baili advised kindly: "Commissioner, don't be angry. Even if the Japanese receive free assistance from the Americans and British, no matter whether it is from the enemy or ourselves,  Strategic situation, or the gap in national and military strength. They can't surpass us now. We are holding back now to better develop and build the country and the army, so that one day we can compete with the Western powers." Duke Zhou nodded after hearing this.  He said: "What General Baili said makes sense, but General Zhang, I have a suggestion for you.Now, the Western powers of Britain, the United States, France, and France are all afraid that China will realize its great rejuvenation and rise again.  So to unite against us, can we also find some international allies?  " Zhang Xinghan looked at Duke Zhou and asked, "Is Duke Zhou talking about the Soviet Union?  When I was in the Northeast, I fought with them for our railway sovereignty and killed hundreds of thousands of their troops.  “I estimate that they will not be willing to cooperate with us, and I also want to say something. The Russians and other powers have invaded our country and occupied our territory in history.  “In essence, there is no difference between them and the Western powers, and in terms of actually occupying our territory, the Russians are the best.  So we should not have any hope for them and should not let down our guard at all times.  If you want to gain the respect and sincere cooperation of others, you must first be strong yourself. Otherwise, we, weak allies, are likely to become little sheep that can be slaughtered at will in their eyes.  " Duke Zhou nodded, without comment, and continued: "General Zhang, you misunderstood.  The ally I am talking about is not the Soviet Union. Although our party has a deep relationship with the Soviet Union, we are also bound by our responsibilities in the face of national interests.  " "Then Duke Zhou, which country are you talking about?  "Zhang Xinghan asked curiously. "Germany.  "Zhou Gongdao: "According to the current international situation and the performance of the Germans in recent years, as a defeated country in World War I, they are not willing to sink like this.  Especially after their new leader Hitler came to power, he not only adopted a tough attitude externally, but also began to obviously violate the Treaty of Versailles internally and massively expand armaments.  The intentions of the Germans are obvious. The geographical location of the Germans means that they will not have too many conflicts with us.  Therefore, this country should be the most suitable ally for us at present. Once the Germans provoke war in Europe again, Britain, France and even the Americans will have no time to look around.  By then, not to mention the Japanese archipelago, but also the Southeast Peninsula, the colonies of Britain, France and other countries will also become a piece of meat on our lips, and we can eat it whenever we want.  " As soon as Duke Zhou finished speaking, Jiang Baili's eyes shone and he said with great approval: "Mr. Zhou's suggestion is really good, and this analysis makes even me, a professional soldier, feel ashamed. Baili is really convinced.  Once war breaks out in Europe, we will not only be able to usher in precious fighter planes, but we can also use this rare opportunity to seize the time to develop and recuperate.  That would be a huge benefit to us!  " "General Baili is a famous general in the country. He has trained countless good generals for the country and the nation. How can he be compared to me?  To be honest, this suggestion was actually put forward by our **, I just modified it slightly.  " Duke Zhou told the truth. When Zhang Xinghan heard this, he glanced at Duke Zhou and said with admiration in his heart: "The king uses troops like a god, and his strategic vision is unparalleled. He is better than Zhang Xinghan a hundred times or a thousand times!  Duke Zhou laughed and asked, "Does General Zhang agree with Runzhi's suggestion?"  " Zhang Xinghan nodded solemnly and said: "I agree, but Xinghan also wants to ask for something.  " Zhou Gongdao: "General Zhang, please speak.  " "I would like to ask Duke Zhou to personally serve as the head of the diplomatic mission and visit Germany on behalf of China!  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Since General Zhang ordered me to do so, I should accept the order from Ensui, and it is my duty to serve the country!  "The Duke of Zhou accepted it happily. "Very good, then Duke Zhou, you have to work harder. The sooner you go on this mission, the better. Let's do this. You wait for me for three days. After three days, I will give you something and you can take it with you.  , I think it will definitely be beneficial to this mission negotiation!  "Zhang Xinghan said. After Zhou Gong and others nodded, Zhang Xinghan called Guo Zhong and said: "Zhongzi, go find me some top weapons blueprint designers immediately, whether they are from Hanyang Arsenal, Taiyuan or Shenyang Arsenal.  Send me to Nanjing by plane immediately.  " Although Guo Zhong didn't know Zhang Xinghan's intention, he quickly stepped forward and responded: "Yes.  "(To be continued.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 513: Old Maozi is dishonest again

    In less than two days, all weapons blueprint designers transferred from arsenals and other military industrial enterprises from various places gathered in Nanjing.  Zhang Xinghan took out from his multi-function watch, a latest model of Panzer IV tank, a Tiger tank, and a Leopard tank.  In addition, various light weapons and artillery such as mg42 general machine gun and MP40 submachine gun were also produced.  The designers were asked to draw pictures based on the actual objects, and the light weapons were carried by the diplomatic missions as a free gift to Germany.  To promote this Sino-German alliance.  The weapons drawings given by Zhang Xinghan are all standard equipment of the German army in history.  Even if he doesn’t give it, the German army will only be equipped with equipment a few years later.  So, it’s better to be a favor and give it to them.  As for the weapons and equipment of his own army, as long as the fighting continues, Zhang Xinghan has the ability to completely replace them with American, German or even more advanced cross-era weapons.  Because of their respective geographical locations, it is unlikely that a war will break out between China and Germany in the next few years or even ten years.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan believes that even if the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Army are at the same level as the German army, it will not affect its overwhelming advantage over Asian countries.  Even against the Americans, he is not inferior.  Because German weapons, especially light weapons and tanks and armored vehicles, have always been top-notch throughout World War II.  When a war actually breaks out between China and Germany, the equipment level of the Chinese army will only be better than that of them, not worse than them.  Because the drawings involved a large amount of work, Zhang Xinghan mobilized dozens of top domestic designers from major arsenals.  It also took more than a month to draw the required drawings.  By this time, it was already early December, and it had started to snow intermittently in Nanjing not long ago.  Inside Nanjing Airport.  Zhang Xinghan walked side by side with Duke Zhou and others, and said: "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, I still feel sorry for having to bother you, Duke Zhou, to lead a delegation to Europe." Duke Zhou smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, this is nothing.  We are all for the country and the nation." "Zhou Gong devoted himself to the country and was a model for the younger generation to learn from," Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  After sending Duke Zhou onto the plane, Zhang Xinghan took Guo Zhong and others back.  At this time, the whole city of Nanjing is covered with a layer of white. The entire south of the Yangtze River is covered with ice and snow, making it extremely beautiful.  After Zhou Gong and his party went abroad to visit Germany, Zhang Xinghan began to renovate and expand domestic military industrial enterprises.  Because the relationship between China and Britain, the United States and other countries is not harmonious, Alice can no longer provide various assistance to Zhang Xinghan openly.  This shattered Zhang Xinghan’s idea of ??getting the Garand semi-automatic rifle production line through Alice.  History has proven that this semi-automatic rifle can stand the test of actual combat.  Worthy of military use.  Zhang Xinghan plans to equip all Chinese troops with this extremely excellent individual weapon in the next ten years.  Forming a formalized production line in the country, while producing, while training and researching new weapons.  In addition, all production lines for tanks, combat vehicles, and artillery equipped by the former Northeastern Border Guards must be owned by oneself.  After all, the Zhang Xinghan now is no longer the Zhang Xinghan he used to be.  As the current supreme commander of the Chinese army, millions or even tens of millions of Chinese troops will fight all over the world in the future.  It is impossible for him to provide them with all their combat needs with multi-function watches.  The best solution is to establish corresponding production lines yourself and continuously provide weapons and ammunition for the troops in various theaters.  My multifunctional watch should be used as an emergency in a certain battle.  And continue to unlock more advanced weapons and equipment.  It will then drive the continuous progress of domestic military technology, and develop more advanced weapons and equipment based on it.  In this way, the equipment level of the Chinese ** team has been continuously improved.  ……………… Just when Zhang Xinghan was at a loss what to do.  Guo Zhong walked into his office with Alice, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.  Since it is the coldest month of winter in Nanjing, Alice put on a thick winter coat today to cover up her devilish figure.  But her beautiful face and tall figure still make her full of charm.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan was obviously a little startled, Alice smiled and said, "Hey, why don't you?Shall I sit down?  " Only then did Zhang Xinghan come to his senses, stood up and greeted him: "Alice, I didn't expect you to come to China at this time. It's really unexpected.  Come on, sit down quickly.  " Then he said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go make a cup of coffee for Miss Alice.  No added sugar.  " Guo Zhong nodded his head knowingly, then turned around and left. Before walking out, he even closed the door. Alice looked at the closed door and smiled charmingly, then turned around and looked straight at him.  He looked at Zhang Xinghan seductively and asked, "Dear, do you miss me?  " "I think about it, of course I do.  Zhang Xinghan said without thinking: "It's just that during this period, the British Empire and the Americans have united to help the Japanese deal with our country, which made me very busy, so I never had time to write to you."  " As soon as Zhang Xinghan mentioned this matter, the charming look on Alice's face suddenly disappeared, and turned into a deeply apologetic look: "This matter, dear, I am also very helpless, the old King George V  King George V, who just passed away due to illness not long ago, just took office this year.  Zeng Jin personally summoned the patriarch of our Max family, my grandfather, a month ago.  It is said that the rise of China is not conducive to the national interests of the British Empire in the world, especially in the Far East. It must unite with the Americans to check and balance you.  Grandpa also banned my power within the family. Before his death, I will no longer be able to use the family's interests to help you. My dear, I'm sorry.  " Before she finished speaking, Alice was already crying with guilt. Zhang Xinghan hugged her into his arms and said with relief: "It's okay, Alice.  You have done enough for me, don't blame yourself too much, I won't blame you.  " Under Zhang Xinghan's soft words of comfort, Alice gradually stopped sobbing, but raised her head and asked: "My dear, is your wife in Nanjing?  Do I fit in here?  " "No, she is not in Nanjing.  She is now in her hometown in Northeast China.  Zhang Xinghan replied without thinking: "We haven't seen each other for almost a year."  "It's not that Zhang Xinghan doesn't want to bring his family to live in Nanjing. It's mainly because the Northeast is his base camp and they are much safer there than in Nanjing. Therefore, the whole family has not moved to Nanjing. Who knows what Alice heard?  After that, he suddenly broke away from Zhang Xinghan's arms, glanced at Zhang Xinghan with a blushing face, and then squatted down with his little hands trembling slightly and unbuttoned his belt and zipper, and looked up at Zhang Xinghan with a charming look.  He opened his seductive little mouth and swallowed the thing that had not yet woken up. “Oh!  "A warm and smooth feeling came from below, making Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. As Alice continued to tease, curl and suck. The thing continued to expand in her cherry mouth and was as hard as iron. "Bones*  The feeling of sexual desire spread from the spine to all the nervous systems in the body, and Zhang Xinghan's numerous pores in the body stretched involuntarily Under Alice's passionate offensive, Zhang Xinghan only lasted less than five minutes before losing it.  Alice's face was a little flushed, and she spit out the still hard thing. There was still a trace of white juice hanging from the corner of her mouth. She looked up to see if Zhang Xinghan was satisfied with her service.  At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Alice quickly helped Zhang Xinghan put on his pants and swallowed what he was about to spit out. "Come on."  General Baili asked to see him.  "Guo Zhong's somewhat apologetic voice sounded outside the door. Zhang Xinghan raised his head and responded: "Okay, I understand. You asked Brother Baili to wait for me in the conference room. Come right away.  " After saying that, he reached out and touched Alice's reddish cheeks, gave her an encouraging smile, and said: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon.  " Alice nodded obediently, stood up, and watched Zhang Xinghan walk out. Zhang Xinghan walked out of the office and walked straight to the conference room. When he arrived at the conference room, he saw a man sitting on the left side of the conference table, wearing a military uniform.  The black leather shoes were none other than Jiang Baili. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Baili turned around, saw Zhang Xinghan and said with a smile: "Commissioner, you are here.  " Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Brother Baili, aren't you going back to Northeast China to celebrate the New Year with your sisters-in-law?  Why are you back?  "Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner, I have just received news that the old man in the north is a little dishonest again. The Northeast Border Defense Commander Gao Chu is currently deploying troops and generals to prepare for a war that may break out at any time.  " "What??Old Maozi?  "Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised. He had just recovered the Penghu Islands, Taiwan and Ryukyu, and the situation in the Southeast China Sea had just calmed down. With great difficulty, the country had a precious opportunity for development. Unexpectedly, the war broke out again in the northeast. "It seems that the first two times  The lessons given to Lao Maozi are still not enough. They still don’t give up on Northeast Asia.  " Zhang Xinghan said. Jiang Baili nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is said that this time the Soviets transferred a large number of heavy troops and various combat materials from the country. It seems that they want to avenge their previous humiliation.  " "Humph, the Japanese no longer pose a threat to us, and countries such as Britain, the United States, and France will not invade our country for the time being.  The only biggest threat is this old man who is connected to our land in the northeast.  “If we don’t beat it thoroughly, it will be dishonest and may give us a fatal blow from behind at any time.  " "The key thing I worry about is that once a border conflict breaks out between our two countries again, will it evolve into a full-scale war between the two countries?  That would be extremely detrimental to us, so if we can fight a local war that can control the scale, it is something we need to think carefully about.  "

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 514: Lao Maozi’s intention

    Zhang Xinghan agreed very much with Jiang Baili's words, but how to fight a local war that could defeat the old Maozi, thwart their ambitions in Northeast Asia, and control the scale of the war.  This is too difficult.  Zhang Xinghan was deep in thought, and Jiang Baili said: "I think the key lies in whether Duke Zhou and the others can succeed in their mission to Germany. If we can formally form an alliance with Germany and provide economic assistance to the German army, Hitler can immediately launch a counterattack."  "The attack in Eastern Europe will intimidate the Soviets so that they will no longer dare to go east." "Then we can't wait here forever. Let's fly to the Northeast today and go to the Northeast in person."  Deploy military power to deal with possible wars," Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili nodded and said, "That's what I meant. Without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan said, "Okay, you go back and prepare first. We will meet at the airport later." Jiang Baili nodded, turned and left.  Zhang Xinghan also walked out of the conference room and returned to his office.  "My dear, you're back!" Alice, who was sitting on the chair, stood up the moment the door was pushed open and ran towards Zhang Xinghan happily.  "Alice, because there are some critical situations on the northern border of our country, I must go back to the northeast immediately. Do you want to go back with me?" Zhang Xinghan said.  Alice nodded without thinking, "Well, I'm far away." But as soon as she finished speaking, she said with some worry: "But, your wife is in the northeast, and I don't want to destroy your family." Zhang Xinghan's heart  Feeling guilty, he hugged her and said, "It's okay. I'm not going back to Jilin this time. Instead, I'm going directly to Jiamusi. To the Sino-Soviet border." "Oh." Alice snuggled into her arms, with a sweet smile on her face.  .  ……………… Fenghua, the hometown of Mr. Jiang.  Wang Shihe cautiously came behind Mr. Jiang and said respectfully: "Commissioner, according to the news we just received, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili have returned to the Northeast." "Yes." Mr. Jiang nodded lightly, "Return to the Northeast at this time. It happened.  What's going on?" "I heard that the Soviets are making moves on the Sino-Soviet border. Zhang Xinghan returned to the Northeast probably to deal with them." Wang Shihe replied.  "I have long said that there is no good thing in the Soviet Union. Look how brainwashed Jingguo has become by them." Chairman Jiang became angrier as he spoke and said, "Let Zhang Xinghan teach these Russian bandits a lesson."  Good, lest they always covet our territory." "By the way, is there any news about Dai Li?" Jiang Gong asked again.  Wang Shihe shook his head and said: "Not yet, but Zhongtong is already seizing the time to search." "Huh. Dai Li must not be dead, maybe he has taken refuge with Zhang Xinghan." Chairman Jiang has figured something out these days.  matter.  Wang Shihe’s expression changed and he did not dare to answer the call.  "Okay, I'm tired, you go down first." Chairman Jiang waved his hand casually.  Wang Shihe bowed his head respectfully and slowly retreated.  ………… A military airport in Jiamusi, Northeast China.  Under the escort of four Zero fighter jets.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others' plane landed smoothly on the airport runway.  Gao Chu, Du Ting, Ma Mingyuan, Ge Quanwu and other old men who had already arrived at the airport and had been waiting for a long time came forward to greet them.  "Commitment, reservation!" Now all of the former Northeastern Frontier Force generals have grown into generals.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan, he seemed particularly cordial and greeted him loudly and saluted him.  "Hello brothers, long time no see, how are you all?" Zhang Xinghan greeted them with the same laughter.  "Haha, you are still willing to become our brother. You are all doing well. It's almost two years since I last saw the chief. I miss you so much!" Ge Quanwu, who once made great achievements in the Xinmin Campaign, laughed.  "You will all be my brothers, Zhang Xinghan, no matter when. I will never forget that we shared life and death and fought side by side." Zhang Xinghan said seriously.  Everyone may be thinking of the bloody battles in the past, fighting side by side.  Thinking of those war-torn days, my eyes became moist.  "Commissioner, it's rare for brothers to see you today. Let's not drink in the cold wind here. Why don't we go back to the city first, go to the humble headquarters, cook some wine, get some appetizers, and chat about it?" Has been promoted to  Gao Chu, Army Lieutenant General and General Commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force (Heilongjiang), suggested.  As soon as Gao Chu said these words, everyone echoed them one after another.  &nbsp"Zhang Xinghan took a car with them. Under the full escort of a large number of guards, he left the airport and returned to Jiamusi City, which he had not seen for a long time.  At this time, the whole city of Jiamusi was covered with a layer of silver, snowflakes were still falling in the sky, and the weather was so cold that dripping water turned into ice.  Sitting in the car, Zhang Xinghan still felt very cold even though the windows were tightly closed. The car at this time did not have air conditioning.  The temperature inside the car is only slightly higher than that outside the car, because the car manufacturing technology at this time is far inferior to that of the 21st century, so the gap in the middle of the car body structure is still very large.  While driving at high speed, cold wind poured in from these gaps. Alice, who was sitting next to Zhang Xinghan, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her seductive lips turned pale.  Zhang Xinghan reached out and hugged her into his arms. A sweet smile appeared on Alice's lips. Although the cold wind was still pouring in, she didn't feel so cold anymore.  The convoy drove for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the Border Guard Headquarters located in the north of Jiamusi City along the main street of Jiamusi City.  Guards armed with live ammunition placed tight security around the convoy and headquarters.  Accompanied by Alice, Zhang Xinghan strode in with Jiang Baili and other generals.  The stove had already been lit in the main room of the headquarters, and the room was as warm as spring. As soon as she entered the room, Alice exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, it's so warm and comfortable here. I like it so much."  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, turned around and glared at the subordinates who were laughing uncontrollably, and said sternly: "Don't laugh, why are you laughing? If you laugh again, you won't be able to find a wife, and you will all be single."  "When everyone heard this, they quickly stopped smiling and stood up to show respect.  "Gaochu, do you have female confidential personnel here?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Gao Chu didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward and nodded: "Yes, Commissioner, do you have any instructions?" "Let them accompany Miss Alice to visit, and we will discuss the military battle plan. Women are naturally not suitable here.  " Zhang Xinghan ordered.  "Yes." Gao Chu quickly stood up and responded. His expression did not look like an army lieutenant general at all, but rather like an ordinary private facing his beloved commander.  After giving instructions to the senior high school students, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to Alice who was warming herself by the stove: "Alice, you go visit the other rooms first. My subordinates and I have important things to discuss. Wait.  I'll come find you when I'm done." Alice nodded obediently, stood up, and walked towards a confidential room next to her.  After Alice left, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand, and someone had already laid a giant border defense map on the large conference table in front of him.  Zhang Xinghan looked at Gao Chu and said: "Commander Gao, what is the current situation between us and the enemy on the border? Please give a detailed report." Gao Chu nodded in response, picked up a pencil and pointed at the map and said to Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili: " Sir, sir, according to the intelligence we currently have, the Soviets have transferred a large number of troops and combat supplies from Europe this time. What is different from the past is that a large part of their troops and supplies this time are not all. They gathered in places such as Vladivostok and Krasnoyarsk. Instead, they were deployed through the territory of my country's Outer Mongolia and directly near the critical line between my country's Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Their intention was very obvious, to invade my country's northwest border and invade China's Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other northwest territories. "After Gao Chu finished speaking, another staff member presented the detailed intelligence documents compiled by their scouts, air force reconnaissance planes and the Secrecy Bureau during this period to Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan.  Jiang Baili took a look at some important information, and frowned and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, according to this information, it seems that this time the old man has learned a lot. They suffered a lot in the two local wars in Northeast Asia.  "Thank you, it's time to move in from Outer Mongolia this time." Lieutenant General Ma Mingyuan also nodded and said: "You are right. These polar bears are really good at learning. They take advantage of our country's long border. If they really come from Xinjiang and so on."  If we launch an attack on the ground, we are really defenseless. Because Xinjiang is located on the edge of the western border and has mountainous plateaus, and road transportation is extremely inconvenient. Not only is it difficult to supply logistics, but it is also not easy for troops to enter Xinjiang.  The local warlords are divided, bandits, horse thieves and bandits are rampant, and the situation is extremely chaotic. Even if our troops can enter Xinjiang, these complicated local conditions must first be solved. The terrain in Xinjiang is not conducive to the advantages of our mechanized troops.  Our military's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced." Zhang Xinghan stared at the map and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said: "I think the possibility of the Soviets marching from Xinjiang is very small. Don't forget that although the Xinjiang Plateau is not conducive to our marching, transportation and operations, it will also be  Caused the same trouble to the Soviet army.  Therefore, I believe that the most likely route of advance for the Soviet army is here.  " When everyone saw that the area Zhang Xinghan was pointing to, it turned out to be Saiyinsanda. Gao Chu was surprised and said: "Master, there is a large area of ????Gobi Desert in the middle. How dare you march from here?  " "There is nothing to be afraid of. Our ancestors crossed this sea of ??death thousands of years ago.  Today, if sufficient preparations are made, such a desert will become a shortcut and smooth road from Outer Mongolia to Inner Mongolia!  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. PS: There is one more chapter before twelve o'clock, please vote for recommendation!!!

    "The commission is reasonable. With today's military technology level, as long as we are well prepared, the vast desert will no longer be a sea of ??death. If the Soviets' true intention is really here, then we really have to be on guard.  Once the Soviets invade Inner Mongolia from here, they can drive straight into Zhangjiakou, Suiyuan and Peiping, cutting off the north and south of our country from the Pingjin Inner Mongolia line. This will be too dangerous for our country," Jiang Baili said.  "Now that we have determined Lao Maozi's possible military route and intention, let's make preparations in advance. If it is late, it will be too late." Ge Quanwu said.  Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan and asked: "I don't know, who are you planning to choose this time to lead the team to the front line of Inner Mongolia to deploy defenses?" Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and shook his head slightly and said: "The suitable candidates in my mind are all responsible for the defense of various places.  The important task cannot be transferred easily, so I can't think of a suitable candidate for the time being. "Jiang Baili smiled slightly and said: "There is a suitable candidate for this humble position, but I don't know if you are satisfied with the appointment." "Oh?"  He said curiously: "Who is it? Let's talk about it." "Zhang Lingfu!" Jiang Baili said with a smile.  "Zhang Lingfu?" Zhang Xinghan was obviously startled and said with some hesitation: "This guy is currently studying in the general training class of Longxing Branch, and he is now a powerful general of the Central Plains Front Army. Will a rash transfer cause any bad consequences?  "After the successful reorganization, among the four front armies of the Nationalist Government, only the Central Plains Front Army did not have the position of commander-in-chief. Instead, the Military Commission directly administered the several group armies of this front army.  Zhang Lingfu, who has been promoted to Army General in an exceptional manner, is the commander-in-chief of one of these group armies.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan sent him to Longxing Military Academy to learn the joint operations of tanks and armored forces was definitely because he was deliberately cultivating him.  How could Jiang Baili, who had worked with Zhang Xinghan for many years, not see it, given time.  Zhang Xinghan wanted to entrust him with an important role. Maybe he would be the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains Front Army.  Therefore, Jiang Baili can understand Zhang Xinghan's worries now, because the situation of the Central Plains Front Army is relatively complicated.  There are not only the Jinsui Army, but also the Shandong Army and the Guangxi Army of the Guangxi faction.  There are also the Central Army faction and the Northeast Army faction headed by Xue Yue.  Zhang Lingfu, who has changed his mind about Zhang Xinghan, will certainly not betray the current new government, nor will he betray Zhang Xinghan.  The Central Army faction and the Northeast Army faction under his command have become the most powerful forces in the Central Plains Front Army. Once they are transferred, Zhang Xinghan is worried that unpredictable chaos will occur in the Central Plains.  Especially, the war with the Soviet Union is imminent and the blockade of Japan.  To defend the Taiwan Islands and other areas in the South Pacific, the external situation the Chinese nation is now facing is extremely severe.  The interior can no longer withstand any torment and consumption.  So he said: "Commissioner, you are worrying too much. Inner Mongolia belongs to the defense area of ??the North China Front Army. If you are really worried about the Central Plains, you can transfer someone from the Military Commission or other areas to replace General Xue Yue. " Order General Zhang Lingfu to lead the main force of the North China Front Army to the border to  Fight against the Soviet army. Defend the country’s territorial integrity and national dignity!” Zhang Xinghan mused: “Zhang Lingfu is brave and resourceful, young and promising, dares to fight, and is loyal to the country and the nation. He will be the commander of this battle against the Soviet Union.  Officer, it is most appropriate. But the stability of the Central Plains is also related to the stability of the country. Let's send a message to Brother Jingzhong, who will temporarily serve as the acting commander-in-chief of the Central Plains Front. He will go to Luoyang to take office immediately. Then send a message to Zhang Lingfu and order him to advance immediately.  After finishing this training, immediately go north to command the North China Front Army in combat!” …………… As mentioned before, after the reorganization of the new government, Zhang Xinghan merged the two major military academies, Longxing and Huangpu, to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and to establish branches all over the country.  .  Cultivate more military talents for each army.  As the military center of the Central Plains Front Army, Luoyang is naturally the best choice for establishing a branch campus.  Zhang Lingfu has been promoted to Army General and Commander-in-Chief of the Group Army.  After rising several levels from a major general and brigade commander to a commander commanding nearly 200,000 elite troops.  Before he had time to enjoy the sense of glory brought by the Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Xinghan transferred him to the special training class for general officers at the Luoyang branch of Longxing Military Academy with a telegram.  He participated in the general training class with him, and a large number of other commanders of several other groups had been promoted to the lieutenant general, but the generals of the general, but they knew nothing about modern mechanized operations.  At the beginning of the period, Zhang Lingfu was still very dissatisfied with Zhang Xinghan’s arrangement.?I think this is because Zhang Xinghan wiped out his face in the Battle of Hebei and gave himself little shoes to wear.  However, not long after arriving at the military academy, he fell in love with it.  Because although the instructor who taught them was a very young low-level officer, the knowledge he taught and the command and application of mechanized troops deeply attracted a group of generals such as Zhang Lingfu.  In particular, this instructor vividly borrowed some of Zhang Xinghan’s classic battle examples on the Northeast battlefield to teach them, which made Zhang Lingfu and others fascinated and fascinated by it.  There are differences and gaps between people. In the more than a year since they arrived at the military academy, the students who participated in the special training class for general officers have made good progress.  Zhang Lingfu’s progress is definitely the fastest and most advanced among them.  This is inseparable from his interest in studying, his willingness to study hard and his tireless study.  On this day, Zhang Lingfu was reading the military textbook provided by the military academy and written by Zhang Xinghan himself on modern warfare, mechanized regiment command and tactical application.  While he was watching with great interest and was very absorbed, an uninvited guest suddenly interrupted him.  "Who are you?" Zhang Lingfu raised his head and looked at an officer who appeared in front of him in surprise. He was wearing a major's military uniform, and his face was neither humble nor arrogant, giving people a mysterious feeling.  The visitor suddenly saluted and said: "I, the adjutant of the Communications Department of the Military Academy, have been specially ordered to convey the chairman's emergency military order to General Zhang." "What military order?" Zhang Lingfu said with some surprise.  The adjutant immediately opened a telegram he carried with him and said: "Military Commission Order. In view of the sudden change in the situation in the northwest, after discussion, Zhang Lingfu was specially transferred to Peking to discuss military affairs. The military academy training mission is temporarily suspended and graduation is ahead of schedule. This order is extremely urgent. After receiving it,  Zhang Xinghan, Chairman of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army, should arrive in Peiping as soon as possible. "What happened in the northwest?" Zhang Lingfu suddenly stood up in shock.  The adjutant closed the message and shook his head: "Sir, I don't know this. You will know all the reasons when you get to Peiping." After saying that, he turned and left.  Zhang Lingfu was a little distracted and murmured: "What could be happening? I was transferred to Peiping so urgently." At Jiamusi Airport, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili; Guo Zhong and others arranged for senior officers such as Gao Xiao and others to discuss the border defense forces.  After the military deployment, they were ready to fly to Peking.  Zhang Xinghan was going to give Zhang Lingfu face-to-face instructions.  After all, this battle is no small matter.  "Okay, you all can go back. Everyone is busy with their own business. Don't send me off any more." Zhang Xinghan saw that he was about to reach his landline. He turned around and said to the subordinates behind him who were following each other with some reluctance.  At the beginning of the high school, Du Ting and others quickly stopped and stood up to salute.  They said in unison: "Take care of your seats, take care of your seats! Have a safe journey." Zhang Xinghan nodded, saluted with Jiang Baili at the same time, and then turned around and got on the phone.  The two Zero fighter jets took off first. After circling in the air, Zhang Xinghan’s plane and the other Zero fighters took off one after another.  Escorted by four Zero fighters, this C-47 transport aircraft was converted into the most luxurious and largest commander's plane in China today.  Flying towards Beiping at a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour.  After five hours of flying, Zhang Xinghan and the others landed at Peking Airport at noon.  After getting off the plane, Zhang Xinghan realized that Zhang Lingfu had arrived before them.  Since I didn’t know Zhang Xinghan’s itinerary, I didn’t come to the airport to greet him this time.  After getting off the plane, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili, Guo Zhong and others were escorted by a group of guards to the North China Front Army Headquarters located in the former Peking Marshal's Mansion.  Inside the headquarters, Huang Xiansheng was chatting with Zhang Lingfu, who had just arrived.  Suddenly hearing the arrival of Zhang Xinghan, Huang Xiansheng and Zhang Lingfu quickly stood up and walked out to greet him.  "Commissioner, you have come all the way here, why don't you inform me in advance so that you can go and greet me?" Huang Xiansheng smiled and saluted.  Zhang Lingfu saluted lukewarmly.  Didn't say much.  "The military situation is urgent, so I didn't have time to inform you." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he said to Zhang Lingfu, who was standing next to Huang Xiansheng: "Lingfu, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and you have gained a lot of weight." "Thank you for the invitation.  I miss you. I haven't been on the battlefield for more than a year, so I'm a little fatter." Zhang Lingfu said.  Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily and said: "So that's it, then you don't have to worry about obesity anymore. This time you come here because you have an extremely important combat mission to be assigned.you.  "Facing Zhang Lingfu's eager questioning gaze, Zhang Xinghan smiled and said to Jiang Baili behind him: "Baili, you'd better tell him in detail.  " Jiang Baili nodded and stepped forward and said to Zhang Lingfu: "General Zhang, the Soviets have massively increased their troops on the Sino-Soviet border. They are likely to invade Inner Mongolia from Outer Mongolia and march straight into Chahar and even Pingjin, endangering North China.  Therefore, after discussing with the committee members, I decided that this time you will personally lead all the active troops of the North China Front to deal with this powerful enemy and foreign invasion. How about this? Do you believe that we can win this battle successfully?  " Zhang Lingfu's face was a little surprised, and then he said in an excited voice: "Please rest assured, committee members and attendants, Lingfu is thinking about being loyal to the country all the time. In this battle, he will do his best to defeat the powerful enemy and enhance the prestige of our country.  , defend my territory!  " Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly, patted his shoulder and said: "Very good, what I want is your words. From now on, the millions of land, sea and air soldiers of the North China Front will be under your unified command.  No matter how many people come to this battle, where to attack, or how to fight, it is all up to you.  "    "yes!  Zhang Lingfu stood up and responded loudly: "Thank you very much for your trust. For entrusting you with such an important task, Lingfu will definitely repay it with all his heart and mind!"  After arranging Zhang Lingfu, Zhang Xinghan said to Huang Xiansheng again: "Brother Jingzhong, I believe the importance of the Central Plains has been clearly stated in my command message. I also hope that you can put the overall situation first and don't let me down."  " Huang Xiansheng stood up quickly and said: "You have made a serious statement, Commissioner. I will definitely try my best to maintain the stability of the Central Plains region, provide a stable and stable rear area for the millions of soldiers of the North China Front, and continuously support them in defending their homeland and country!  "  Moscow, Kremlin. "Dear leader, the preparations for the Far East Military District's offensive against China have come to an end. This time, they will march from the Hanhai Desert, and they will definitely be able to capture China's Peiping and Peking by surprise.  Even Tianjin.  Teach those arrogant and despicable sick men of East Asia a lesson.  "A burly Soviet officer lowered his head and said to SDL sitting at the desk. "You must be fully prepared before taking action this time. I don't want the previous two humiliations to fail and happen again.  ??Telegram to the Far East Command that if this war against China cannot be won, all officers at the brigade level and above will be dealt with according to military law!  "SDL's voice was so cold that it made people shudder. "Yes, respected leader, I will go and convey the order immediately.  "  Two days later, Zhang Lingfu had already taken a plane to order Zhangjiakou, and within these two days, hundreds of thousands of troops north of the Yellow River, Shanxi, Hebei, Pingjin and Tianjin were ordered to start the westward transfer. Suiyuan, Chahar and other places  Nearly 100,000 troops marched towards the Inner Mongolia prairie in a hurry. At a temporary headquarters in Zhangjiakou, Zhang Lingfu was formulating a battle plan in front of a map. Zhang Xiaofu, his personal adjutant, suddenly came over with a message and said to him: "General.  Chairman Zhang is calling.  Hearing this, Zhang Lingfu quickly put down the pencil in his hand, took the message with his own hands and opened it. The content of the message is as follows: "Brother Lingfu, if this war against the Soviet Union is carried out in Xinjiang, the key to victory lies in logistics transportation and the transportation of backup troops."  wait.  If it is carried out on the border of Inner Mongolia, the decisive factor for the victory of the decisive battle between the enemy and ourselves lies entirely in the cooperation of tanks, armored mechanized units and air forces.  "In addition, even though the quality of the Soviet armored forces is not as good as ours, the quantity is amazing. I hope you can give it more consideration to avoid suffering losses.  " Zhang Lingfu closed the message, pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Xiaofu: "Immediately send a message to all group armies and divisions in my name. All tanks and armored units of our North China Front Army who have been ordered to transfer to the west will immediately leave their headquarters from today on, and quickly  Come to Zhangjiakou to gather and stand by. This order is extremely urgent. All ministries must not delay it. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished!  "    "yes!  "Zhang Xiaofu's eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately stood up and answered, and left as ordered.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 516: China’s Desert Fox (1)

    After the reorganization of the Nationalist Government, the total strength of the North China Front reached nearly one million people.  Among these millions of troops, they are mainly composed of the left-behind troops of the 1st and 3rd Group Armies of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, which were originally stationed in Pingjin and the five northwest provinces.  It is composed of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Shandong Army, and part of the Sichuan Army and Guangdong Army transferred from South China.  Due to time constraints, Zhang Xinghan has not been able to take action on the reform of the production levels of various domestic arsenals.  Therefore, in addition to the one million troops of the original Northeastern Army, the equipment level of the remaining three to four million soldiers has not changed much from before.  In other words, among the nearly one million North China Front troops that Zhang Lingfu could mobilize this time, the only ones equipped with tanks and armored vehicles were the left-behind troops of the 1st and 3rd Army Groups of the former Northeast Frontier Army.  The total strength is about hundreds of thousands, including four or five tank regiments plus one tank division. The total number of tanks is about 700.  In the eyes of Zhang Lingfu and even the entire North China Front Army’s senior leadership, a tank and armored force of this size is definitely a strategic assault force capable of crushing everything.  Zhang Lingfu, who was commanding a large corps for the first time, was secretly excited to be able to command an armored group consisting of nearly one tank and nearly one million troops.  However, with his introverted personality, he hid the excitement that these young people should have.  ………… While Zhang Lingfu was mobilizing all the tank and armor forces, in the vast desert sea, the Soviet troops quietly gathered from Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia to Sayinshanda and finally began their adventurous journey.  strategic assault.  As expected by Zhang Xinghan, the Soviets indeed chose the main offensive route at the junction of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.  Others such as the direction of Manzhouli.  All the attacks in the direction of Vladivostok were feints to attract the attention of the Chinese troops and cooperate with this major raid by the main force.  It is worth mentioning that this time the Soviet army was very different from the previous two times in terms of scale and determination.  After the disastrous defeats in the first two Far East Wars.  Not only was SDL extremely angry, but right after the last border conflict, the Far East Military Region was ordered to accumulate strength and prepare for the next retaliatory war.  The Soviet generals and generals in the Far East Military Region are also actively preparing for war with a desire to avenge their shame.  After more than two years of careful preparation and the absolute support of sdl, the Far East Military Region has finally taken the step of this historic battle of revenge.  This time, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the previous two wars, the Soviet army has assembled more than 800,000 troops.  Among them, the number of air force fighters exceeds 1,200. The most terrifying ones are the Soviet ground artillery and armored forces.     According to incomplete statistics.  The Soviet army mobilized a total of 10,000 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm this time.  Even if there are half a million troops.  The scale and quantity of such an artillery configuration is also extremely terrifying.  What's more, these are only large-caliber heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and there are a large number of various light and heavy mortars below.  Mountain artillery, field artillery, howitzers.  In terms of armored forces, the Soviets mobilized seven armored divisions and five armored brigades.  There are more than 2,500 tanks and armored vehicles in total, and the total number is more than three times that of the Chinese troops.  A considerable number of these tanks are the new T-34 tanks first developed by the Soviets.  Historically, this famous World War II tank was only officially put into service in 1940. Due to the appearance of Zhang Xinghan, the Soviet army lost two battles in Northeast Asia, and it appeared four years earlier.  It is also because the main reason for the first two defeats was that the tanks of Zhongguo's Northeast Frontier Defense Force were more advanced and more numerous than our own tanks.  The Soviet Union has greatly increased the production of tanks and combat vehicles.  Because of the battle plan.  This time the Soviet army used most of its tanks and all newly produced T-34/76 tanks on the advance route to attack Inner Mongolia.  The total number of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles participating in this assault exceeded 2,000.  In the vast sea of ??death, as far as the eye can see is the vast desert. A huge convoy of two thousand tanks and more than two thousand military trucks has brought up a sky full of dust in this barren desert.  Whenever the strong wind blows and the desert is full of flying sand and rocks, some Soviet soldiers just wrap their faces with military coats to avoid the wild sand.  The heavy tanks and chariots crushed the sand and left deep marks, but when they rumbled forward not far, these marks would be covered up again by the sand and dust carried by the howling wind.  Everything is restored as before. If it hadn’t been for the huge convoy that hadn’t gone far, it would have been as if this place was not there at all.Nothing happened.  In this raid, the Soviets used 2,000 tanks and combat vehicles plus two mechanized infantry divisions, with a total strength of nearly 40,000.  …………… About two days later, more than 700 No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles finally arrived in Zhangjiakou.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan also deployed 500 fighter planes from the Northeast and Central Plains theaters to strengthen Zhang Lingfu's combat power.  In view of the experience of the previous two battles with the Soviet army, among the 500 fighters Zhang Xinghan allocated, 300 were Stuka dive bombers, the most powerful weapons against tanks and chariots.  The other two hundred are Zero fighters that performed extremely well on the Sino-Japanese battlefield.  With such a powerful air force as the backing, Zhang Lingfu felt more confident.  In Zhangjiakou, within the temporary former enemy headquarters, an emergency military meeting was being held with the participation of senior officers from all tank and armor units and air force units involved in the campaign.  Zhang Lingfu, dressed in military uniform, stood at the head of the conference table in high spirits, scanning the officers present with his eyes like knives.  He opened his mouth and said: "My colleagues, according to reliable information, the Soviets have once again mobilized heavy troops to the border with our country. Their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed. Now we are gathered here under the military order of Commander-in-Chief Zhang to discuss the plan to defend against the enemy, aiming to expel the powerful enemy.  , to defend the territory of the motherland and the dignity of our Chinese nation and the honor and dignity of our Chinese military. Here, Lingfu hopes that you can put aside all personal grudges, work together with me, cooperate sincerely, and defeat the enemy with all your strength!”  They also admired Zhang Lingfu, so they all stood up and said: "We will obey the military orders of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, but if we are dispatched, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"  He turned around and said: "To tell you the truth, the reason why we are summoned to this meeting so urgently is because Lingfu has a good battle plan and wants to announce it to everyone." Everyone looked around in shock after hearing this. Zhang Lingfu  He said without changing his expression: "This plan is that I decide to lead all the tanks and armored units of our army to take the initiative, enter the Sea of ??Death, and search for and defeat the Soviet army in the vast desert." As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.  His face changed drastically, and one of the major generals of the tank division said worriedly: "Sir, we haven't even figured out the enemy's true advance route and intentions yet. Isn't it too dangerous to attack rashly?" "What Commander Liu said  It makes sense. Since Lao Maozi dares to provoke a war again, the number of troops assembled this time will never be small. Until the enemy's situation is unknown, should we still rely on strong troops to stick to the best strategy?" Another colonel leader also said something.  echoed.  Zhang Lingfu turned around and came to the map, pointed at the map and said to everyone: "First of all, I have sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to fly over the Sea of ??Death to search for traces of the enemy. I believe there will be news soon. In addition, I have mobilized thirty  Tens of thousands of troops entered Xinjiang. Commander-in-Chief Zhang gave instructions in the previous call. The enemy's march route this time is likely to be these two. If it is in Xinjiang, then our first batch of 300,000 troops can fully support our subsequent reinforcements.  , And, according to my analysis, the possibility of the Soviets choosing to invade from Xinjiang is very small. The reason is very simple, that is, the advantages of the Soviet tanks and armored forces, heavy artillery and other heavy equipment are restricted by the terrain and cannot be brought into play.  On the contrary, they are much more likely to conduct a long-distance attack across the Sea of ??Death. As the saying goes, the best defense is to defend the country and wait for the enemy to attack. That is equivalent to giving up the initiative in the war.  The enemy can concentrate his forces to attack our defense line at will, thereby achieving a full-line breakthrough. If we can take the initiative, we can not only avoid this unfavorable situation, but also catch the Soviets by surprise and defeat them in the field.  Outside the country!" Looking at the map and listening to Zhang Lingfu's analysis, everyone nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with his point of view.  Seeing this, Zhang Lingfu walked back to the conference table and continued: "You are all the pillars of our country. As the ancients said, you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. Now that a powerful enemy has invaded, it is our soldiers who have stepped forward to protect our country."  It’s time to take the initiative. I hope that all my colleagues will be loyal to the country, fight hard for the country and the nation, defeat powerful enemies, and enhance the prestige of our country.” Everyone stood up and said in unison: “Commander-in-Chief Zhang, please rest assured!”  , I am determined to fight to the death with the Soviet army, and I will not fight back until the enemy is defeated!" "Very good," Zhang Lingfu said seriously.He said loudly: "In that case, everyone should go back and assemble the troops quickly. We will set off immediately to march into the sea of ??death!" "Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, and then turned around and took the order to leave.  "Xiaofu, please telegraph our battle plan to Chairman Zhang immediately." After everyone left, Zhang Lingfu ordered the adjutant.  Zhang Xiaofu immediately lowered his head and said yes, then took the order.  Zhang Lingfu looked back at the blue sky and white sun hanging above the map, with determination in his eyes.  ps: I can go back to Shenzhen tomorrow. The train is at 9:30 in the morning. There will be two chapters later. I will continue to write on the train tomorrow. The update will not be delayed. I ask you all for your support and encouragement!

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 517: China’s Desert Fox (2)

    Over the vast desert of death, several Chinese reconnaissance aircraft were conducting mid-air reconnaissance in a fan-shaped pattern.  .?Suddenly, the pilot on a reconnaissance plane noticed something unusual on its right side and quickly flew over there.  It wasn’t until it flew closer that the reconnaissance plane was surprised to find that the huge cloud of sand on the ground was actually a huge convoy, to be precise, it was a group of tanks and chariots.  The height of the reconnaissance aircraft and the almost deafening roar of the dense engines of the ground convoy made it impossible for the Soviet army, which was driving boringly, to detect the inconspicuous aircraft high in the sky.  The pilot on the reconnaissance plane simply wrote down the geographical location, coordinates and other information, and then quietly returned to the aircraft in the fighter plane.  On the dirt road from Zhangjiakou to Ulanqab, Zhang Lingfu had already set off with more than 700 tanks and combat vehicles and a mechanized infantry division.  At this moment, he was sitting in an armored tank accompanied by Zhang Xiaofu, taking a nap with his eyes closed.  Suddenly, the armored vehicle that was traveling at full speed suddenly stopped. Zhang Lingfu opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiaofu next to him and asked, "Xiaofu, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiaofu got up and struggled to open the door of the armored vehicle, only to see a man standing outside the vehicle.  A communications soldier carrying a radio station.  Seeing the car door open, the communications soldier quickly stood up and saluted: "Commander-in-Chief, the reconnaissance plane has sent the latest information. They have found the whereabouts of the Soviet army." "Oh?" Zhang Lingfu looked happy when he heard this, and asked quickly: "They  Where is it? Is it the Sea of ??Death? " The communications soldier said the coordinates recorded in the message, and Zhang Lingfu quickly instructed Xiaofu to open the marching map he carried with him.  After searching on the map for a while, he took a picture of the map and said: "We are still one hundred and fifty kilometers away. It seems that we must speed up and get there before the enemy emerges from the Sea of ??Death." After saying this, Zhang Lingfu  Thinking of another thing, he asked: "By the way, what is the size of their troops?" The communications soldier standing outside the car hurriedly replied: "According to the intelligence from the Air Force, the enemy has a large number of tanks and combat vehicles.  There are more than two thousand, in addition to thousands of military trucks." Zhang Lingfu's expression changed when he heard this, and Zhang Xiaofu next to him couldn't help but take a breath of air.  "General, Lao Maozi has as many as two thousand tanks and chariots, which is three times as many as ours. Coupled with the more than two thousand military trucks, they can carry at least two mechanized infantrymen.  The overall strength of the division is several times higher than ours," Zhang Xiaofu said to Zhang Lingfu with some concern.  Zhang Lingfu pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? Lao Maozi's tanks and chariots are much worse than the overall level of the No. 4 tanks equipped by our army. This point was mentioned in the textbook when I was training in Luoyang.  A vivid example. In the two Northeastern border conflicts in the 23rd and 24th years of the Republic of China, the Soviet army had more tanks than our army, but the war ended in our victory."  "So, this time, although our number of tanks is not as good as theirs, I believe we will be able to win again and defeat them with less and more. Moreover, Chairman Zhang has equipped us with more than 500 fighter planes this time  , In this way, we are already in an invincible position." After speaking, Zhang Lingfu looked down at the map and said: "Order the troops to speed up the march, and be sure to reach the border before tomorrow morning, enter the Sea of ??Death, and march towards Su.  The army launched a sudden attack and caught them off guard. ""In addition, the air force fighters in Zhangjiakou and other places were notified to enter the first level of combat readiness and be ready to take off at any time tomorrow morning to assist!" "Yes" the communications soldier waiting outside the car quickly stepped forward and agreed.  , after saluting, turned around and ran away.  …………… Beiping, in the combat conference room of the North China Front Army Headquarters.  Zhang Xinghan sat upside down on a willow chair, holding a Hardman cigarette in his mouth, puffing away and staring intently at the giant battle map in front of him.  With a frown on his face, he sometimes raised his right hand to draw two strokes on the map, and sometimes took two puffs of the half-burned cigarette in his mouth.  Let the boiling and pungent smoke billow in your lungs, enjoying the unusual nicotine stimulation.  In order to maintain his state of meditation, the thoughts in his mind were spinning at high speed, taking into account all the details and loopholes of this unprecedented scale of the Patriotic War.  Although, on the surface, he showed absolute trust in Zhang Lingfu and granted him absolute command authority.  “But Zhang Xinghan didn’t know that his decision was a risky attempt to delegate power.  ? ?He is not an iron man, let alone an omnipotent superman, and he does not want to be a hands-on Zhuge Liang. Therefore, he must cultivate the ability of his generals to lead troops alone.  Thinking that they can share more military responsibilities in order to facilitate the launch of a full-scale war with European and American powers in the future.  Only in this way will there be more generals and talents who can stand alone on the battlefield in the future.  No one is born with a military genius, and they will be able to use troops like a god, and they will be proficient in using various tactics and strategies.  Really outstanding generals are those who have experienced countless bloody battles of various kinds and have been transformed and trained through fierce battles.  It’s like a sharpshooter is fed with countless bullets and enemy heads.  Based on Zhang Lingfu’s outstanding personal military command ability, Zhang Xinghan was determined to increase investment and training in him.  In order to cultivate an outstanding military talent like Rommel for the Chinese nation.  However, just in case, Zhang Xinghan still carried out complete support work. Not only did he make some adjustments to the overall strategic situation, but he also always kept abreast of the latest trends and the enemy's situation among the units of the North China Front commanded by Zhang Lingfu.  So that if Zhang Lingfu fails, he can quickly take over the command and replace him to command the troops to save the crisis as much as possible.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Lingfu learned about the news that the Air Force had detected the whereabouts of the Soviet army at almost the same time.  "Commissioner, do you think Zhang Lingfu can win this time?" Jiang Baili appeared behind Zhang Xinghan at some point.  Zhang Xinghan threw the cigarette with only the butt on the ground, crushed it with his right foot and said: "I don't know, there is no 100% victory or defeat in this world. Generally speaking, if Zhang Lingfu commands his assault force,  Use conventional tactics to launch an assault on the Soviet army and launch a head-on encounter. Even if our army can defeat the enemy with its advanced tanks, it may be a miserable victory in the end. No matter how lagging behind Lao Maozi's tanks are, the elephants will be killed by ants.  "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "If Zhang Lingfu was good at using our army's air force advantage to cooperate with ground operations, the casualties might be much smaller." "It's hard to say that it is impossible for the Soviet army to dispatch such a large tank and armored group this time.  Without air force cover, their reconnaissance planes may have already crossed the border to detect our situation." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully: "So, the key is to see how Zhang Lingfu adapts in this upcoming dark night."  ……………… In the sea of ??death, next to a Soviet armored command vehicle that had just stopped, a Soviet communications soldier was reporting to the people in the vehicle with a radio on his back.  "Your Excellency, Commander, the Air Force has detected a piece of useful latest information. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, a Chinese mechanical armored force entered Inner Mongolia. According to speculation, the Chinese may have predicted our movements in advance." "Order the troops to speed up.  Moving forward, the Air Force will increase its reconnaissance efforts and be sure to closely monitor the latest movements of the Chinese armored force and report back at any time." A dignified and cold voice came from inside the car.  The Soviet communications soldier quickly saluted: "Yes!" and then turned and left.  After the signal soldier left, another voice sounded in the car: "General Cliff, if our whereabouts have been exposed, then our long-distance attack has lost its due effect. The fighter plane has passed away, and we still have to follow the instructions."  Was the original plan to march? "The Soviet general known as Cliff said: "Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. If Squadron [***] really has grasped our whereabouts, then I think their air force should be above us.  It is circling and raging in the sky. Maybe this is just a normal change of defense by the Chinese [***] team. After all, it is impossible for us to conceal such a large-scale military deployment from the eyes of the Chinese. " "Besides, even if they really do.  They have a good grasp of the whereabouts of our army, so why not, the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia is so long, how can it be so easy for them to stop us? Taking a step back, if we really encounter it, this will happen.  A battle is inevitable, so I don’t mind using our powerful air force and ground armored forces to teach these arrogant Chinese a lesson, and also try out the power of our latest new tanks on them.  The armor-piercing projectiles launched by the main gun can easily penetrate 80mm vertical armor at a distance of one thousand meters. I can’t wait.” From Cliff’s words, it is not difficult to hear that he is very interested in this weapon that has been tested with live ammunition.  The powerful new tank has high expectations.  The adjutant who spoke fell silent and said nothing more, but an invisible worry always lingered in his heart.  It made him extremely uneasy.  &nbsp;………… After nightfall, after nearly ten hours of rapid march, Zhang Lingfu led more than 20,000 mechanized corps to advance more than 300 kilometers.  Arriving at a plateau less than 35 kilometers away from the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.  The troops paused their advance, and the accompanying baggage troops were refueling all the tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks. The more than 20,000 combat soldiers also took advantage of this rare rest time to get out of the car and rest.  Zhang Lingfu held the battle map, and Zhang Xiaofu held up a flashlight to help illuminate it. After looking at it for a long time, he frowned and said: "Xiaofu, go immediately and notify the commanders of each tank regiment to come for a meeting." (To be continued.)

    Early the next morning, about a dozen Soviet reconnaissance planes quietly flew to the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia and began conducting rigorous aerial reconnaissance operations along the hundreds of miles of border and nearby areas.  At this time, the Soviet armored group had entered an area less than fifty kilometers away from the Inner Mongolia border and was about to emerge from the Sea of ??Death.  Cliff’s armored command vehicle stopped again, and the old guy was standing not far from the armored vehicle to urinate.  The adjutant and several guards were standing guard and waiting around.  A communications soldier rode a motorcycle and came speeding from behind. The motorcycle stopped abruptly, and the Soviet communications soldier jumped off holding a piece of telegram.  Cliff’s adjutant stretched out his hand to stop him, and turned his head to signal to Cliff. The signal soldier nodded, then stepped aside and waited patiently.  Cliff, who may be suffering from prostate disease, delayed urinating for nearly five minutes before holding up his pants and turning around.  "General, the Air Force has just received a call and has detected the latest movements of the Chinese Army in Inner Mongolia." The communications soldier said loudly.  Cliff walked over step by step, dragging his fat body with heavy steps, took the message from the communications soldier, and lowered his head to read it.  After a while, Cliff showed an evil smile: "Haha, it seems that the Chinese don't know our whereabouts at all. Their armored unit should be a normal defense change and is currently patrolling back and forth along the border.  "General, what should we do? Should we go around them or eat them?" the adjutant asked.  "Our mission this time is to cross the grasslands of Inner Mongolia as soon as possible, attack Zhangjiakou, and threaten China's Pingjin area. Let these little miscellaneous fish leave them alone for the time being. Order the troops to set off immediately after refueling. We will let the arrogant  The Chinese have a taste of the power of our Soviet armored torrent," Cliff said with great pride.  ……………… Erenhot, facing Zamyn-Uud across the border.  The two places are less than ten kilometers apart and are the only way for the Soviet army to cross the Sea of ??Death and enter the Inner Mongolia prairie.  There was originally a cavalry company adapted from the Mongolian cavalry stationed here. After the establishment of the National Government, this cavalry company was awarded the official title of the National Revolutionary Army, the Erlianhot Garrison Cavalry Company.  Last night, a Japanese armored force from Zhangjiakou arrived here to take over the defense of Erlianhot.  In an open space outside the town, the cavalrymen of the garrison cavalry company looked at the scene in front of them in great surprise.  This army coming from the mainland is doing something extremely weird.  Using wooden boards and paper to look like tanks and armored fighting vehicles, at least hundreds of these strange things were made.  He hitched them to some ox-carts and ran wildly around the town and along the routes that the cavalry usually patrolled.  The cavalrymen in the cavalry company didn't know the purpose of doing this, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only watch from the sidelines.  Suddenly, a senior officer wearing a colonel's uniform and black leather boots strode over with two subordinates.  He ordered the commander of the cavalry company: "Captain Hemuza, please take your cavalry company and go out immediately and follow me to handle something." "General, according to the air force reconnaissance,  According to the information, the main force of the Chinese Army’s tank and armored forces is indeed stationed in Erlianhot. There are at least three hundred tanks and armored vehicles and there is no sign of movement yet!” On a wasteland about fifteen kilometers away from Erlianhot.  The adjutant reported to Cliff who was eating bread.  Cliff was chewing bread and drinking vodka, and said with a flushed face: "Are you sure the situation is correct?" The adjutant nodded to confirm.  Cliff took another sip of the burning vodka and said: "Then order all the troops to march according to the order. Bypass Erlianhot and advance towards Sunit!" The adjutant lowered his head and said yes, then turned around and took the order.  .  The Soviet convoy that came to a halt soon heard a deafening rumble again, sweeping forward like a torrent of iron armor.  ……………… Sunit Left Banner.  Under a raised wasteland, about six to seven hundred tanks and chariots were parked here.  The soldiers in the car were making final preparations for the war, and some were smoking.  Thinking about something worriedly.  There were also people in groups who were joking happily.  In an armored command vehicle, the door was wide open. Zhang Lingfu had one foot on the pedal of the armored vehicle and one foot on the ground. He was holding a map in both hands and was frowning in thought.  Zhang Xiaofu, who was standing next to him, looked into the distance from time to time.?Looking around, he looked extremely nervous.  Suddenly, Zhang Lingfu raised his head and asked: "Xiaofu, have the anti-aircraft guns been deployed?" "General, don't worry, the forty 88mm anti-aircraft guns have been deployed. If the war goes unfavorably, they will become our most advantageous rear guard.  Troops to stop the enemy's pursuit," Zhang Xiaofu replied.  Zhang Lingfu felt relieved and nodded. Although this ambush battle was based on calculation and unpreparedness, after all, the overall number of tanks and chariots on both sides was very different.  Zhang Lingfu had to prepare for the worst. He took out all the knowledge he had learned in the special training class of Longxing Military Academy and put it into action.  Because there is a classic example of an 88mm anti-aircraft gun attacking an enemy tank in Long Xing's textbook.  Zhang Lingfu himself also captured the anti-aircraft guns of the former Northeast Army in the Battle of Puyang in Hebei Province, and used them to attack the No. 4 tanks of the Northeast Army that was the attacker at that time, and achieved quite good results.  This scene is vivid in my mind, so it became natural to use the 88mm anti-aircraft gun carried this time to deal with the Soviet tank group.  About a quarter of an hour later, a hurried-looking communications soldier jumped out of a communications vehicle not far from Zhang Lingfu.  After he jumped out of the car, he ran towards Zhang Lingfu.  When he arrived, he stood up and saluted: "Commander-in-Chief, Commander Wang is calling. As expected, Lao Maozi was fooled. They are crossing the Erlian Plateau, trying to bypass Erlianhot and run towards Sunit." "Very good!" Zhang Lingfu heard this.  Yan stood up and said energetically: "Order all regiments to prepare for battle immediately! Beat up these stupid polar bears!" "Yes!" Zhang Xiaofu's eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement,  said loudly.  The order was conveyed quickly. The soldiers who were just chatting and smoking and waiting for the order became busy. After a while, tanks and chariots started up, making loud and deafening sounds.  Streams of green smoke sprayed out from the rear of the tank.  (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 519: China’s Desert Fox (4)

    Amidst the roar of engines, nearly 700 Panzer IV tanks and German armored vehicles sped away in groups.  Quickly drive towards the pre-demarcated ambush area.  Zhang Lingfu also entered a No. 4 tank combat vehicle and served as the commander and loader.  Although it is very dangerous to lead by example in this way, it is a choice that a commander should not take, but it undoubtedly greatly inspired the ** officers and soldiers who participated in the war.  When Zhang Lingfu’s voice reached every tank and armored vehicle through the on-board radio, the morale of thousands of armored soldiers was greatly boosted, and they all responded with a resolute call for resignation.  The terrain here is a typical plateau and hilly terrain. Nearly 700 tanks and combat vehicles were divided into three assault groups and deployed in the northwest and due west of Sunit Zuo Banner. They ambush in three directions in the southwest, waiting for the Soviet army.  Time passed quietly in the suffocating wait. More than 20 minutes later, the first Soviet armored vehicle finally appeared in the sight of the two Japanese tanks.  The commander of one of the tanks immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and reported: "Commander-in-Chief, I am No. 3, and the enemy has appeared." In a No. 4 tank two kilometers away from them, Zhang Lingfu immediately issued the order after receiving it.  Attack orders.  The two Panzer IV tanks on guard duty fired at almost the same time.  Two armor-piercing bullets roared out with long dazzling tail flames.  "Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, and the Soviet half-track armored vehicle that was leading the battle was instantly ignited. Then there was a violent explosion, and the entire armored vehicle fell into pieces.  Countless fragments of parts and components shot out into the air along with the shrapnel of the artillery shell.  Although it was only a forward search armored team of the Soviet Army that was ambushed, the earth-shaking explosions resounded in the sky, which still greatly shocked the advancing Soviet convoy.  Cliff, who was already a little drunk, was leaning in the armored command vehicle, closing his eyes and resting.  When the explosion came.  The armored vehicle's emergency brake knocked him out of his seat in shock and hit him on the back of the man in the front seat.  “You bastard, why are you driving this car!” In pain, Cliff’s first thought was to scold the driver of the armored vehicle.  The unscrupulous adjutant who fell with him came to his senses and said with a shocked face: "General, it's not good. There seems to be a situation ahead." Cliff kicked the car door in panic.  After getting off the armored vehicle, I looked up and saw an explosion happening in front of me, with balls of fire rising into the sky.  The ground beneath my feet seemed to be shaking faintly because of the explosion.  "What's going on?" Chris asked with a horrified look on his face.  Because the overall level of Soviet tanks and combat vehicles is relatively backward, the new T-34 medium tanks are also the first batch of new products that have just been installed in the army.  So not all of them are equipped with radios yet.  Compared with the German tanks with rich radio configurations, communication is far behind.  After several minutes, a Soviet major came running from the front in a panic. When he saw Chris, he cried like a widower: "General! General! Oh no, a large number of Chinese tanks suddenly appeared in front of me."  The tank group, my forward search armor team has been completely wiped out, their firepower is so fierce." Cliff's eyes almost fell out of shock.  But after all, he is a military veteran who has high hopes in the Far East Military Region.  Soon, he suppressed the shock in his heart, pulled out his gun and decisively shot the major in front of him, who was disturbing the morale of the army, in the forehead.  "Pa!" There was a gunshot, and a bloody hole appeared on the forehead of the Soviet major.  With a look of horror on his face, he raised his head and fell straight back. He was still dead when he fell to the ground.  Cliff held the pistol that was still emitting light green smoke intermittently, and said sternly to several senior officers and staff members who had arrived after hearing the news: "No matter how the Chinese ** team appears here, we must immediately  Show the Soviet army's tenacious style and combat consciousness, organize the troops to defeat them, and fight to the end for the great SDL leader. "It's time to dispatch the 2nd Tank Division immediately."  Let’s show off our new tanks.” A Soviet major general stood up and saluted, said yes, and then turned around and strode away.  Soon, nearly five hundred new T-34 medium tanks, which the Soviets had high hopes for, rumbled towards the front.  At this time, on the battlefield ahead, about a hundred Japanese Panzer IV tanks had already defeated the front line of more than two hundred tanks in front of the Soviet army with lightning speed.  &nbsp; These armored units, mostly composed of T-28s and some half-track armored vehicles, were simply unable to withstand the firepower salvoes of hundreds of Panzer IV tanks at such a close range.  The dense armor-piercing shells roared into the crowd of Soviet tanks, immediately triggering a series of violent explosions.  The air was filled with acrid gunpowder smoke everywhere, and on the smoky battlefield, there were flames and explosions.  When the elite 2nd Tank Division of the Soviet Army arrived.  More than two hundred old tanks and armored vehicles have been almost destroyed.  There were still smoking and burning wreckage of tanks and armored vehicles everywhere, and occasionally there were individual Soviet armored soldiers whose whole bodies were on fire, running and rolling, sitting in the last struggle before dying.  The shrill screams of pain penetrated people like the cries of ghosts coming from the Nine Nether Hell.  More than a hundred Panzer IV tanks defeated the front and rear of two hundred Soviet tanks and armored vehicles.  Didn't make any stops at all.  Immediately bypass the piles of ruins of tanks and chariots and continue to move forward.  It happened to collide head-on with the more than 400 T-34s that were on the front line for the first time.  Shuangfei, who was on extreme alert, fired almost at the same time.  "Boom, boom, boom!" A fierce and unavoidable head-to-head firefight occurred within a range of less than a kilometer.  This is not the first time there has been a large-scale tank battle between China and the Soviet Union in this time and space.  But this time it was different from the past where the Chinese tank troops almost slaughtered the Soviet tanks one-sidedly.  Several Panzer IV tanks at the front were hit by more than a dozen armor-piercing rounds from the Soviet army and exploded on the spot.  And what is surprising is that the Soviet armor-piercing projectiles penetrated from the front vertical armor with the thickest defensive armor.  Where is the homogeneous high-quality steel plate with a thickness of 80 mm, which is easily penetrated by Soviet artillery shells.  After the shells, which were hot enough to burn people directly, got into it, they began to writhe and spin in the narrow tank vehicle.  Several tank soldiers, including the commander, were all killed instantly, and the heat also detonated the remaining ammunition in the tank.  The huge explosion shock wave instantly decomposed the solid tank body into countless fragments, and the heavy roof flew out with the gun barrel, which was twisted and twisted like a twist.  The remaining half of the car body was also penetrated by the heat flow, destroying it almost to pieces.  The sturdy tracks were scattered all over the place like broken Buddhist beads.  On the other hand, on the Soviet side, only one T-34 was shot by more than a dozen Panzer IV tanks at the same time because of the machine's unlucky luck.  The defensive armor was finally overwhelmed and was breached, lying down.  Although several other T-34s were also hit, they were not destroyed. Only a large piece of the front armor was dented.  In the first round of fighting, the Japanese tanks suffered heavy losses.  And as more and more T-34s arrived, the Panzer IV tank group, which had always been invincible and invincible, was completely defeated head-on.  Due to the performance of the tanks and the huge disparity in numbers between the enemy and ourselves, after nearly twenty tanks were destroyed, they received an instruction from Zhang Lingfu to grit his teeth and order a retreat.  For the first time in a head-to-head confrontation, Soviet tanks defeated the Chinese armored forces that had repeatedly humiliated them.  Many tank crews and commanders screamed excitedly and laughed.  Immediately, under the high-spirited instructions of the major general and division commander, a relentless pursuit was launched.  The scene of more than 500 tanks chasing each other on the vast prairie is quite spectacular, and occasionally there are bursts of big explosions to add to the fun.  "General, the 2nd Tank Division has defeated the Chinese ** team in front of them. The enemy has been defeated like a mountain. Division Commander Rios is leading his troops to launch a rapid pursuit!" The adjutant put down the temporary telephone set up excitedly and frowned to the side.  Said Cliff, who was smoking.  Hearing this, Cliff’s brows that had been frowning quietly relaxed. Although it was the twelfth month of winter, he felt that cold sweat was already overflowing from his palms.  Grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, Cliff's face flushed with excitement and said: "Great, our new tank really lives up to expectations. The opportunity to avenge our shame has come, and ordered the 23rd and 24th Infantry Divisions to immediately follow the tanks.  The 2nd Division assaults! The 3rd and 4th Tank Divisions and the 7th and 8th Tank Brigades are respectively responsible for the two wings of the main infantry force, and the adjutant responded quickly.  ………………… The tank Zhang Lingfu was riding on had already brought about three hundred No. 4 tanks into a hilly depression just north of Sunit.  He climbed out of the tank and at this momentHe was smoking a cigarette with a frown on his face.  The tank regiment responsible for the frontal assault to draw the attention of the Soviet army was actually defeated by the Soviet army.  And it was defeated in a no-frills frontal firefight. It is said that the Panzer IV, which was all-powerful and invincible in the past, was unable to penetrate the opponent's tanks.  "Obviously, the Soviet tanks must be different from the past, and there must have been changes.  This was something Zhang Lingfu did not expect. Although the tank regiment in the frontal assault was a feint attack, it was used to cover the troops on both wings to attack the center of the Soviet army in a roundabout way.  But according to the past performance of the Panzer IV, they could at least defeat one or two Soviet tank brigades. Unexpectedly, they were defeated just after the exchange of fire.  Now the problem is getting tricky. It seems that the only hope of victory can be pinned on the infantry and anti-aircraft artillery. Now Zhang Lingfu only feels a sense of fear. Fortunately, he has made some preparations in advance to prevent unexpected events.  Otherwise, this time it may really be over the ditch.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 520: China’s Desert Fox (5)

    More than 400 Soviet T-34s chased 60 to 70 ** Panzer IV tanks.  “If the Soviet armored soldiers could stop their vehicles and take a closer look at the surrounding snow, they would find many messy footprints and track marks.  However, in such a full-speed pursuit, where can these obvious traces be found?  Zhang Lingfu’s instructions had already reached the commander of the retreating tank regiment via radio waves.  Therefore, although they retreated, they retreated in an organized and targeted manner.  Step by step, this elite tank force of the Soviet army was led towards the defensive positions of its own anti-aircraft artillery and infantry divisions.  After entering the effective firing range of one's own defensive position, about 60 No. 4 tanks divided into two groups and fled diagonally on both sides.  A large number of Soviet T-34s just wanted to divide their troops into two groups to pursue them. At this time, a sudden change occurred.  A snowfield that looked like a gentle slope in front suddenly became strange, and large chunks of snow were pushed down.  A series of dark gun barrels were exposed.  Before the Soviet tank soldiers at the front could react, the dark gun barrels spit out a series of tongues of flame.  "Boom, boom, boom" More than forty 88mm anti-aircraft guns instantly poured out a large number of anti-aircraft shells at a very high rate of fire.  These anti-aircraft shells with a range of nearly tens of thousands of meters hit the T-34's defensive armor within such a short distance, causing a violent explosion. The hot shock wave carried shrapnel and penetrated the T-34 like tofu.  defensive armor.  They were immediately beaten into piles of smoking, burning scrap metal remains.  By the time the torrent of Soviet armored troops behind them realized something was wrong and stopped by emergency braking, at least fifty T-34s had turned into scrap metal.  The T-34 tank group, which was showing off its power just now, fell into unprecedented chaos.  Some tanks were eager to turn around, and some tanks bumped into other tanks because the driver was patronizing and cursing.  Because the Soviet major general commander’s car was also among the fifty destroyed tanks.  Coupled with the lack of effective radio contact command.  So no one can stop this chaotic situation in a short time.  Measured by the effective range of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the remaining four hundred or so T-34 tanks are still in absolute danger even if they are further away than the dozens of tanks that were destroyed earlier.  There are many tanks, the situation is chaotic, and it is difficult to turn around easily.  As a result, these tanks, in units of battalions and companies, involuntarily began to escape diagonally on both sides.  In order to avoid the devastating blow of the terrifying dense air defense firepower network.  Just when a large number of Soviet tanks were lucky enough to escape, the seemingly empty snowfield suddenly changed again, and countless Chinese soldiers carrying bazooka rocket launchers suddenly emerged from under the snow.  The bazooka rocket launcher with a caliber of 60 mm, an effective range of 100 meters, and the ability to penetrate 130 mm thick defensive armor launched a rain of rockets at the Soviet tank group that was caught off guard.  Within such a short distance, hundreds of T-34s were immediately hit and destroyed.  Although the T-34 tank has adopted a sloped armor design, its defensive level thickness only reaches 90 mm, making it vulnerable to the intensive volleys of bazooka rocket launchers.  In less than ten minutes of salvo fire, hundreds of the more than 400 surviving T-34 tanks were lost.  The remaining tanks fell into extreme panic, and the shouts of killing from the rear of the Chinese rocket soldiers suddenly sounded like a tide.  A large number of Chinese soldiers shouted slogans and came towards them in groups.  The rocket soldiers also quickly reloaded their rockets and fired out blazing barrages again, destroying dozens of panicked Soviet tanks.  The Soviet tanks occasionally had time to fire, but they were unable to organize a large number of Chinese soldiers to charge and surround them.  Soon, they were overwhelmed by a crowd of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers.  The explosions of explosive packs, rocket launchers, and anti-tank grenades are endless.  These most elite Soviet tanks and armored units in the Far East were instantly wiped out.  At such a close distance, they were surrounded by Chinese soldiers equipped with a large number of shoulder-mounted rocket launchers called bazookas known as tank killers, and there was no cover from their own infantry.  Tanks and chariots, which have always been invincible on the battlefield and are indestructible, have become targets for slow and difficult movements.  In a depression less than 500 meters away from the battle site, a second lieutenant who was almost crying with excitement ran up to Zhang Lingfu with staggering steps.  "Commander-in-Chief, we won. Only less than twenty of Lao Maozi's elite tank units escaped."?, the rest was all eaten up by the brothers!  " Looking at the subordinates who rushed to report the results of the battle in tears, Zhang Lingfu's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He said without any surprise: "Order the troops to attack across the board. The 1st Tank Regiment will cooperate with the 9th Mechanical Infantry Division to continue the frontal assault.  , chasing the fleeing Soviet tank troops.  Other tank units immediately detoured from both wings of the battlefield and attacked the center of the Soviet army.  Cut them off at the waist.  In addition, call the air force to dispatch immediately, coordinate our attack, and strive to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!  "Zhang Xiaofu, who was beaming with joy and excitement, quickly stood up and responded: "Yes!  "He turned around to convey the order. Zhang Lingfu raised his head and looked up at the blue sky thousands of miles away, and said softly: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, Lingfu has lived up to his great trust!  Fulfill the mission!  Our army will win this battle!  ……………… Beiping, North China Front Army Headquarters. Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan excitedly: "Commissioner, Zhang Lingfu just called, our army won a great victory in the Sunit Battle!"  "    "Yeah?  Very good.  "Zhang Xinghan's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he showed a long-lost smile. "After Jiang Baili narrated the general story of the Sunit Battle, he added: "After Sunit annihilated the elite tank troops of the Soviet army,  Zhang Lingfu seized the fighter opportunity and commanded the troops to attack in an all-out manner, especially using the main force of our army's tank troops to attack the junction of the Soviet mechanized infantry division and tank troops in a roundabout way.  The Soviet high command was killed in one fell swoop, causing the Soviet army to fall into complete chaos. At this time, more than 300 Stuka dive bombers of our air force also arrived in time.  With the cooperation of the Air Force.  The remaining more than a thousand tanks and armored vehicles of the Soviet army were completely beaten and unable to fight back, and fell into a complete rout.  Warlord Zhang Lingfu pursued desperately, and the suspect troops deployed in Erlianhot also launched a timely attack to intercept the Soviet army's retreat.  Finally, more than 50,000 Soviet troops who invaded our country this time were wiped out in the Zamyn-Uud area.  In this battle, 24 new Soviet tanks and more than 500 old tanks were captured.  There are more than 300 armored vehicles, more than 200 artillery pieces of various types, 20,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, grenades, and ammunition.  Except for a handful of more than 50,000 Soviet troops, they managed to escape.  Most of them were either killed or taken prisoner.  Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction and asked cautiously: "By the way, you just said that you captured more than 20 new Soviet tanks?"  " Jiang Baili nodded to confirm. Zhang Xinghan mused thoughtfully: "It can easily penetrate our No. 4 main battle tank. This new tank is not easy, like this.  Immediately send electricity to Zhang Lingfu and ask him to find a way to send me a tank back to Pingjin. I want to see what kind of tank this is.  ” In fact, through this battle, Zhang Xinghan had a deep sense of crisis, which showed that hostile countries had begun to accelerate their development, and the Soviet army suffered heavy losses in tanks twice. This comeback did indeed develop and equip more advanced new tanks.  . It seems that they must also replace the Soviet Union with more advanced tanks and combat vehicles. If it is not that the Soviet army does not understand the actual combat performance of the new tank, it is not that it has just been developed and has not yet been mass-produced. With the Soviet Union’s terrifying war potential.  All the two thousand tanks and combat vehicles participating in this war were replaced with new tanks. Even if Zhang Lingfu had the assistance of the air force, his hope of turning defeat into victory would be quite slim. Of course, Zhang Xinghan also understood that it was not necessary to give the whole country numbers at once.  All the tank units in the million-strong army have been replaced with new and more advanced tanks. First, they do not have that much enemy kill value, but it is not necessary. Now the only one that can directly pose a threat to Japan is the Soviet Union.  Only this new Soviet tank can deal with the No. 4 tanks in his hands. Therefore, he only needs to replace the new tanks for the troops stationed on the Sino-Soviet border in the northwest and northeast.  It can be equipped to the Central Plains Front Army and Jiangnan Front Army, which lack tanks and combat vehicles, to enhance their overall combat effectiveness. Since Zhang Lingfu defeated the main force of the Soviet army's long-distance attack in Zamyn Uud, except for leaving a few troops to deal with the aftermath, he immediately left behind.  Under the cover of the air force, they entered the Sea of ??Death and advanced six hundred miles in just three days, defeating hundreds of thousands of Soviet follow-up troops and directly forcing the Soviet army to stop this carefully prepared attack.  A large-scale offensive battle. After this battle, Zhang Lingfu became famous, and the Soviet army respected and feared him as the Desert Fox. Countless people celebrated and cheered for him as the "Desert Fox".In a very short period of time, Lingfu's name spread to all corners of the country, from north to south, at home and abroad.  A week later, after receiving reinforcements from 50,000 fresh troops sent by Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Lingfu led his troops out of the Sea of ??Death and broke through several lines of defense of the Soviet army in Darkhan, Zongmode, Naleha and other places with lightning speed.  More than 10,000 enemies were killed and more than 30,000 were captured. The troops arrived at Kulun (Ulaanbaatar), the capital of Outer Mongolia, and surrounded it a day later.  There were more than 100,000 Soviet and Mongolian puppet troops trapped in the city.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan ordered the 300,000 North China Front troops stationed in Xinjiang to send soldiers out of Outer Mongolia in two groups from the southern Xinjiang and the northern Xinjiang north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Echoing Zhang Lingfu's assault army, the situation in Outer Mongolia changed in less than a month.  A complete reversal within a period of time.  ps: Maybe I was too tired these days and had a lot of travel, so I only wrote one chapter. I wanted to lie down in bed and rest before writing, but when I woke up, it was past twelve o'clock. I don't have much to say today.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 521: The Battle of Kulun (Part 1)

    The surprise attack force of the Far East Military Region was completely annihilated in Zamyn-Uud, and the news of the successive disastrous defeats in Outer Mongolia had already reached Moscow when Zhang Lingfu led his army to break through the Soviet defense line in Darkhan.  After hearing this, the old man SDL, the president of the Soviet army at that time, was furious. In anger, he directly ordered the current commander of the Far East Military Region to be dismissed from his post and brought back to Moscow to face a military court.  The specific frontline commander Cliff, who directly led to the failure of this battle, was arrested directly by Soviet agents in Cullen City and executed on the same day.  While sdl mobilized reinforcements from Siberia and other places, he ordered the Cullen garrison to persist to the end.  This time SDL was completely angry. Repeated failures made him lose his last trace of patience and composure.  He wants to use all his country's strength to send troops to the Far East to fight to the death with the Chinese Army.  The main battlefield is the currently besieged city of Kulun. For names like Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xinghan, SDL hates them to the core. He wishes he could eat their flesh and drink their blood.  Therefore, most of the reinforcements transferred from the Siberian Railway, the main artery, were rushing to Kulun City, which was surrounded by Zhang Lingfu's heavy troops.  Of course, the reason why SDL is willing to send more troops to Kulun is largely due to the analysis of its staff. With the terrain of Kulun and the more than 100,000 Soviet and Mongolian troops in the city, it is not a problem to hold on until reinforcements arrive.  In fact, Kulun City is located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, at the southern end of the Kent Mountains, on the banks of the Tula River, a tributary of the Orkhon River. The south and north of the city are surrounded by rolling mountains, and the Tula River serves as a natural barrier to the east of the city. The terrain is steep and difficult to navigate.  Conducive to the deployment of mechanized units such as tanks and armored vehicles.  It cannot be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.  In a dense forest not far from Kulun City, Zhang Lingfu's temporary headquarters is located here.  In the headquarters, Zhang Lingfu and his subordinates were looking at the map, unable to do anything.  Cullen’s special terrain.  This makes the progress of each attacking force very difficult and slow. If this continues, it will take a long time to capture Cullen City.  Once a large number of Soviet reinforcements arrive, the favorable situation that finally emerged may be reversed in an instant.  All the previous achievements were wasted and in vain.  Therefore, except for Zhang Lingfu, the main generals present at the meeting frowned and sighed helplessly from time to time.  "Sir, what should we do? The Lao Maozi and the Mongolian Tatars in the city have more troops than us. Although they are frightened by us and their morale has plummeted. But if we defend according to danger, it will be difficult to attack in a hurry.  "A colonel said with a sad face.  Zhang Lingfu didn't say anything. He never smoked and asked for a cigarette from Zhang Xiaofu. After lighting it, he smoked and waved his hands and said: "You all go back first. Today's meeting ends here. Order all frontline troops to stop attacking.  "Stand by." After everyone took the order and left one after another, Zhang Lingfu looked up at the battle map and fell into deep thought.  …………… Beiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.  In the past few days, Zhang Lingfu led the North China Front Army to win consecutive battles in Outer Mongolia and besiege Kulun City, which brought considerable shock and joy to the country.  As the chairman of the committee, Zhang Xinghan personally ordered the generals.  I have been busy participating in various forms of celebrations organized by major cities in North China.  With this, we can win over the hearts of the people, enhance relationships and communication with some well-known local entrepreneurs, and prepare for the next stage of full-speed domestic development.  It is impossible for such a large country to enter a wartime state because of such a local conflict war that can be said to have won a victory and basically achieved its strategic objectives.  All developments must proceed as they should.  Having just returned from a cocktail party in Peking, Zhang Xinghan rushed to the headquarters' war room without stopping.  Jiang Baili has been sitting here on his behalf, coordinating the overall situation.  Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming, Jiang Baili, who was frowning and staring at the map, quickly came over to greet him: "Commissioner, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Asked: "How is it? Is there any new progress in the battle in Kulun?" Jiang Baili frowned slightly and shook his head and said: "It's still difficult to attack for a long time. The terrain of Kulun City is dangerous and the defenders are numerous. This is where the Soviet army used to be.  The logistics supply transfer base for the 100,000 troops has enough food, ammunition and medicine to hold the 100,000 defenders for at least two months. If we adopt the strategy of siege but not attack, I am afraid that the city will not be breached without a large number of reinforcements from the Soviet army.  "It will come soon." "Furthermore, according to reliable information, SDL is very angry about the defeat of this Mongolian campaign. It has mobilized no less than 500,000 elite Soviet troops from home and is rushing to rescue Kulun City. It seems that it wants to fight with them.  We'll fight to the death in Cullen, if we can't grabIf Cullen City is captured before the enemy's follow-up reinforcements arrive and the defenders in the city are completely annihilated, then the scale of this war is likely to rise to the point of a full-scale war between the two countries.  Judging from our current situation, if we really go into full-scale war with the Soviets, even if we are able to defeat the Soviet army in the end, both sides will end up with a lose-lose outcome.  By then, it will be easier for Western powers such as Japan, Britain, the United States, and France.  "Hearing Jiang Baili's words, Zhang Xinghan's mood became heavier invisibly." He frowned and said, "It seems that we must find a way for Zhang Lingfu to capture Kulun City as soon as possible."  " "From a strategic overall point of view, the Soviet partial divisions in the direction of Vladivostok and Manzhouli have all suffered fierce counterattacks from our northeastern border defense forces, making no progress and suffering heavy losses.  If our army can annihilate the Kulun garrison as soon as possible and calm the situation in Outer Mongolia, then it may be possible for the Soviet army to retreat in the face of difficulties, thus ending this war that we do not want to happen.  Of course, if after we take Coulomb, the Soviet army still refuses to give up and attempts a decisive battle with our army, we can also rely on Coulomb to maintain a stalemate and consume it.  If the air force is dispatched to attack their railway arteries connecting the Far East, the Soviet army's logistics supplies will not be able to keep up, and there will be no threat.  In short, it is most beneficial for our army to completely annihilate the Kulun garrison and capture the most important strategic location in Mongolia, whether it is a war or a peace.  "Jiang Baili analyzed. Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Brother Baili, you have analyzed the battle situation so thoroughly. Is there any good way to help Zhang Lingfu capture Culun as soon as possible?  " Jiang Baili looked down at the map and said thoughtfully: "For the current plan, the only way is to order the 300,000 troops entering Outer Mongolia from Xinjiang to pass through the Mandal Desert as soon as possible and rush to Kulun to join forces with Zhang Lingfu.  Concentrate the absolute superior force to surround Kulun, cut off the Siberian Railway passing through Kulun, and cut off any connection between the city and the outside world. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by by????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by???by  It is also necessary to send out a group of long-range bombers to bomb the Soviet Army's Trans-Siberian Railway and destroy this enemy's transportation artery.  By delaying the arrival of Soviet reinforcements, the Kulun garrison will have no reinforcements and will be surrounded by heavy troops from our army. The air force will bomb it every day. Over time, the troops will be disorganized and their morale will be low. It will not be a problem to capture Kulun.  " "Well, this is a good idea.  "Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction. "However, most of the 500 fighters currently assigned to Zhang Lingfu are used for medium and short-range bombing, especially Stuka dive bombers that deal with ground armor and defensive targets.  We haven’t had time to establish an air force base in Outer Mongolia, so they may not be able to carry out air strikes on the deep railways in the Soviet Union.  " Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "In this way, one hundred B-17 Flying Fortress bombers will be dispatched from the air force stationed on the Korean Peninsula and the Taiwan Islands, and one hundred Zero fighter jets will be dispatched from the Dalian Air Force Base outside the customs.  Attached to Zhang Lingfu's regiment to fight.  Gao Zhihang told Gao Zhihang that this time, assigned to Zhang Lingfu's regiment, their air force had two tasks. The first was to bomb the enemy defense facilities in Culun City and important military targets in the city.  Second, carry out destructive air strikes deep into the railways in the Soviet Union.  In this way, three hundred Stuka dive bombers, supplemented by one hundred Zero fighter planes, can be organized into a detachment specifically for bombing Cullen.  When carrying out strategic air strikes deep into the rear of the Soviet army, they are likely to be intercepted by Soviet fighter planes. Another two hundred Zero fighters and one hundred Flying Fortress bombers were combined into a mixed detachment.  In two batches, uninterrupted air strikes were carried out on the Soviet rear railways.  Another point is that all Air Force pilots, especially the Zero fighter pilots who serve as escorts, must not underestimate the enemy. Sunit's tank battle is enough to prove it.  The Soviet Army is working hard to improve the technological level of its military equipment. Therefore, we cannot rule out that the Soviet Army’s active aircraft do not have the advanced fighters it has just developed and installed.  In order to avoid suffering big losses due to carelessness, any pilot on duty should cheer up and use 200% concentration to seriously deal with every enemy aircraft that dares to intercept our mixed detachment.  Make sure that the Flying Fortress bomber group is safe and sound and successfully complete the strategic air strike mission.  They are the most critical link in ensuring the victory of this battle, and they must not capsize in the gutter.  " Jiang Baili ordered an adjutant and staff member on standby to write down everything, and then waved his hand to signal him to generate electricity. He then said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commitment??, if the Soviet army is defeated this time, what do you plan to do with Outer Mongolia?  Zhang Xinghan said without even thinking: "How to deal with what?"  Outer Mongolia is China's inherent territory. Being able to recover it this time is enough to comfort the countless martyrs who have shed blood on the border over the years.  As for the Lao Shizi Mongolia they so-called established, it has not been recognized by our government at all. It is completely behind the scenes of Lao Maozi.  From now on, Outer Mongolia will become a provincial-level administrative region of the Chinese nation. Our army will fully take over and exercise administrative power, garrison troops and other rights related to sovereignty.  "(To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 522: The Battle of Kulun (Part 2)

    As Zhang Xinghan's order was issued, one hundred B-17 Flying Fortress bombers taking off from air force bases on the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan Island, escorted by some Zero fighters and BF109 fighters, began to fly to Zhangjiakou and other northwest border airports.  The Chinese Provisional Command Headquarters outside Cullen City.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s orders and instructions, Zhang Lingfu suddenly understood and immediately began to divide his officers to perform tasks separately.  Hundreds of tanks began to launch fierce shelling on a section of the wall at the east gate of Cullen across the Tula River.  At the same time, 300 Stuka dive bombers of the Air Force were also dispatched in batches under the cover of 100 Zero fighter jets to conduct a large-scale air attack on Kulun City, an ancient city on the Mongolian plateau with a history of more than 200 years.  bombing.  Although the bomb load of Stuka dive bombers is not as good as that of the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, their bomb delivery accuracy far exceeds that of the former.  Amidst the bursts of sharp and piercing roars, heavy aerial bombs were accurately thrown on some Soviet oil depots, ammunition depots, barracks and other military facilities in the city.  The Soviet and Mongolian puppet soldiers stationed on the city wall were also continuously swooped and strafed by the escorting Zero fighter planes.  Bullets like raindrops poured down like a violent storm, and the Soviet and puppet troops who could not escape suddenly fell down in pieces, screaming.  In less than half a day of bombing, the entire city of Kulun was filled with flames and enveloped in thick, choking gunpowder smoke.  The city was filled with mourners, and there were heavy casualties.  The resistance consciousness of the Mongolian puppet troops has been greatly reduced. If they had not taken into account the vicious Soviet troops, they would have raised the white flag and surrendered long ago.  The area near the east of the city was the most severely bombed and shelled area.  In order to reduce its own casualties, the Soviet army stationed more Mongolian puppet troops here, leaving only the necessary troops to supervise the Mongolian puppet troops.  Agula is a young company commander of the Mongolian puppet army. His family is a wealthy local businessman in Kulun. His father is quite famous in the local area, and it is precisely because of this.  At a young age, he became a company commander.  Agula has always had a good impression of the Soviet army that helped them found their country, but now he is hiding in an air-raid bunker.  In Mongolian, he cursed the Soviet people who usually looked up to them like gods.  “Damn polar bears, they actually pushed us Mongols into the most dangerous area to be used as cannon fodder!” Agula’s young face was full of dissatisfaction.  A confidant quickly echoed: "It's just that these evil Soviet soldiers don't regard us Mongolians as human beings at all. Instead of letting us be cannon fodder, they hide in a safe place. They are still brazen in the city.  Insulting our women is the greatest insult to our great steppe nation, the descendants of Genghis Khan. Company Commander, victory is in sight now. The main force of the Soviet Union has been completely wiped out and is huddled in the city of Kulun.  It will happen sooner or later. From a villain's perspective, we should find a way out for ourselves as soon as possible." After the confidant finished speaking, another soldier nodded and said, "Company commander, Nacha is right, look at this.  There are planes in the sky, and the Soviets can't defeat them. If we continue to work for them, not only will we all die when the enemy breaks through the city defenses, but our families may also suffer if we surrender now.  Surrender. That is equivalent to a meritorious service, and you may be able to keep your position as company commander and be promoted step by step." The persuasion of the two subordinates made Agula, who was already dissatisfied, a little moved.  Except what the two subordinates said.  Agula has a deeper consideration, and that is his family business.  After the Soviets were defeated, they could still return to their own country, but this was different for me and my father.  Their family's industry has been here for generations, so they definitely can't follow them to the Soviet Union.  Once that happens, they will become a lost dog.  There is really nothing left.  However, the matter was serious and he could not make such an important decision so decisively at a young age.  What’s more, if you want to rebel, you will be more confident if you have the support of your father and others.  Therefore, Agula did not express his position immediately, but quietly made a plan, and quietly went home after dark to discuss it with his father before making a decision.  At this time, the air raids and bombings that had just stopped came again. A new batch of Stuka bombers, under the cover of fifty Zero fighters, once again launched a fierce bombing on the already devastated Cullen City. ?? Explosions that were more intense than the last were heard one after another throughout the city of Cullen, and the whole city was filled with fire and smoke.  Fifty Zero fighters also joined in attacking the city wall defenders and streets in four directions.The enemy troops running back and forth, carrying ammunition and supplies, and transporting the wounded conducted low-altitude dives and strafed.  Every time it flew over, there would be a dense rain of bullets pouring down. The Soviet army and the Mongolian puppet army had no way to escape, and they were beaten into bloody corpses on the spot.  Just when more than a hundred dive bombers and Zero fighter planes launched round after round of fierce dive and strafing attacks on Cullen City, which was almost defenseless, it was a joy to watch.  A group of Soviet fighter jets suddenly appeared in the northwest sky.  One of the two Zero fighter planes that were conducting air raids on the city in the northwest direction of the city luckily discovered this sudden change when it turned around.  The pilot was shocked. While quickly increasing his speed and climbing far away, he notified other fighters of the emergency situation via radio.  Another fighter plane also reacted quickly and began to accelerate and climb away with it.  Fighters from other directions in Cullen City quickly climbed up and flew here to fight.  The Stuka bombers ended their air raids and headed back in the direction they came from.  The two Zero fighter jets in the northwest quickly climbed away under the control of the pilots. Sure enough, two of the Soviet fighter jets that suddenly appeared were fooled. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and pursue them separately, the hail of machine gun bullets roaring like a chain of fire.  Upon seeing this, a Japanese pilot had a proud sneer on his lips, and said to another fighter through the wireless intercom: "Dongzi, the fish is hooked, give them some color to see!" "Roger!" Contact completed  , two experienced pilots immediately controlled the Zero fighter to make a sharp U-turn.  The advantages of the Zero fighter's small turning radius and high speed were fully demonstrated at this moment without reservation.  They turned quickly and avoided the firepower of the two Soviet fighter planes. Before the Soviet pilots had time to react, they turned and flew behind them.  Four hot and dazzling chains of fire appeared in vain, showing off the sky, and severely hit two Soviet fighter planes that could not avoid them.  One was hit by a fuel tank, instantly burst into flames and exploded in the air, disintegrating into fragments and a cloud of fire and smoke that filled the sky.  The other one had one wing destroyed. The unbalanced plane burst into flames and plummeted downwards with billowing black smoke.  It spun and flew down quickly, and hit the mountain peak not far to the north of Culun City. It was torn apart and turned into nothing.  The two pilots shot down the two Soviet fighter planes that were greedy for credit almost under the eyes of the Soviet fighter formation.  The angry Soviet pilots cursed repeatedly and were just about to pursue the two Chinese fighter planes and encircle and annihilate them.  About forty or fifty Chinese Zero fighter jets flew in from all directions in the city.  All aircraft opened fire immediately upon entering range.  The Soviet fighter plane formation was caught off guard by the rapid hail of machine gun bullets. As soon as they encountered each other, several more fighter planes were caught off guard and hit, turning into a ball of fire and exploding and destroyed.  A Soviet flight lieutenant colonel leading the team shouted at the top of his lungs at the wireless intercom, trying his best to command his men to try to regain the lost advantage.  But they found that the opponent's firepower was too strong and their speed was much faster than their own fighters.  Our own fighter planes are no match for them at all.  Not long after, the Soviet flying lieutenant colonel’s own car and wingman were also hit one after another, although the lieutenant colonel successfully opened the parachute.  But unfortunately, he was hit by a Zero fighter plane, and the rapid hail of machine gun bullets instantly penetrated his abdomen.  Blood and smashed internal organs flew all over the sky under the impact of the airflow.  Soon, the Soviet flight lieutenant colonel died in extreme pain.  Only the out-of-control parachute was spinning at high speed and falling towards the ground.  In this air battle, the Soviet army was completely defeated again. The performance of the fighter planes was completely backward. They may not have known that their superiors sent them here. They already knew that this was a combat mission with no return.  But in order to ensure that Cullen could hold on until reinforcements arrived from the rear, their superiors had no choice.  They were decisively sent to assist the Cullen defenders and compete with Chinese fighter planes for air supremacy.  In the end, all fifty Chinese pilots were promoted and received awards for their military exploits.  "Sir, the Air Force has just wiped out a group of Soviet fighter planes that came for reinforcements." A communications soldier walked up to Zhang Lingfu and reported to him.  Zhang Lingfu nodded, turned to Zhang Xiaofu and asked: "Has the strategic air strike force set off?" "It should have already started."Finally, the Air Force dispatched 150 Zero fighter jets to provide escort.  " Zhang Xiaofu replied. Zhang Lingfu nodded and said: "The success or failure of this battle depends on whether they can successfully cut off the Soviet army's railway artery.  " After saying this, he said to Zhang Xiaofu in a seductive tone: "Xiaofu, please go ahead and have all the troops organize another strong attack immediately to break down the enemy's will to resist in the city as soon as possible!  " "We must pay special attention. Each attacking force should bring more of the Mongolian puppet troops we captured. Once there are puppet troops in the city who want to surrender, it will be easier for them to get in touch.  “After all, the defeat of the Soviet Union is certain, and I don’t believe that all the tens of thousands of Mongolian puppet troops in the city will follow Lao Maozi all the way to the dark side.  " Zhang Lingfu instructed. "Yes, I will inform you right away.  "Zhang Xiaofu agreed with a bang. (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 523: The Battle of Kulun (Part 2)

    That afternoon, one hundred **-17 Flying Fortress bomber groups and two hundred Zero fighter jets formed two mixed groups.  .????? Sudden air strikes were carried out on important sections such as the Trans-Siberian Railway along Lake Baiga, Ulan-Ude to Chita, and Irkutsk.  The long railway line made it impossible for the Soviet army to deploy air defense forces along the entire line, so it became their fatal weakness.  With two hundred Zero fighter jets dominating the airspace near Lake Baikal, the bombing mission of one hundred Flying Fortress bombers has become very simple.  Some pilots even conducted ultra-low-altitude bombings in pursuit of high-precision hit rates.  Within a few hours, hundreds of miles of important bridges and canyon sections along the Siberian Railway along Lake Baikal were destroyed by air strikes and bombings, and were paralyzed.  The approaching Soviet reinforcements and the Soviet troops trapped in the isolated city of Kulun were frightened by the news and hurriedly looked for countermeasures.  After nightfall, the puppet company commander Agula used his familiarity with the terrain in the city to sneak back home.  Agula’s father, Agulu, is a well-known wealthy businessman in Culun City, and he is also a well-known prostitute. Since Agula’s mother passed away, the family has been in trouble.  He successively married nine concubines, all of whom were young and beautiful, using various means of intimidation and intimidation.  Because of their relationship with the Soviet army, the Agula family is like gods in this city of Cullen.  Although there were a lot of complaints, they dared not speak out.  Agu Lu quietly walked through an alley and came to the back door of his courtyard wall. He quietly climbed over the one-meter-high courtyard wall and sneaked in.  However, when he just walked to his father Agulu's room, he heard bursts of thought-provoking snapping sounds and the woman's snowy moaning coming from the house.  The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. I am a prostitute, and my son is also a prostitute who will never change his surname. Agula, who was so disturbed by the promiscuous sound in the room, did not cry out.  Instead, he quietly walked over, leaned against the window, poked a small hole with his finger, and peeked inside with his right eye.  As far as the eye can see, I can see two long white legs on Laozi Agulu's dark and fat body, which are constantly shaking.  The sound of sex that made Agula's belly burn with fire was made by the woman who was gently embracing him under his crotch.  Agula’s whole body felt hot and his mouth was dry. For a moment, he forgot the purpose of his trip.  It wasn't until his father, Agulu, let out a deep roar and his fat body trembled, that he quickly came back to his senses, swallowed, and pretended to shout: "Dad, I'm back, I have something urgent.  " With his forehead covered in sweat and his breathing heavy and rapid, Agulu stepped out of the woman's body tiredly, and responded while putting on his clothes: "I know, come on now." "Son, it's so late, you.  What's going on when you come back?" Agulu, who came out wearing a few clothes and a thick coat, looked at his son who was walking back and forth in the yard, rubbing his hands and asked curiously.  "Dad, I have something urgent to discuss with you." As he spoke, Agula's eyes seemed to glance at the unclosed door unintentionally, and he seemed to see the woman with **** getting dressed.  It was too cold in the yard, and Agulu didn't think much about it. He turned around and said, "Let's go to your house to talk." After the father and son came to the house, the woman also got dressed and left from Agulu's room.  He came out and knelt on the ground to help his father and son raise the stove.  After a while, the temperature in the room warmed up.  Agula’s eyes were somewhat straight as he stared at the young woman in front of him who was preparing tea and kumiss for them. He had never seen her before.  It should be the new woman that dad just got. She is more beautiful than the previous concubines.  Seeing his son staring at his woman unscrupulously, Agulu shouted angrily: "Agula, didn't you say there is something important? Say it quickly!" Only then did Agulu react and quickly withdrew his gaze and said:  "Dad, the Japanese have surrounded the city of Kulun. The Soviets can hardly hold it anymore. The sky is full of Japanese planes, and the ground is full of their artillery and tanks. Should we do something early?  Be prepared. Otherwise, once the Soviet army is defeated and the enemy enters the city, we will probably be regarded as traitors and be killed without mercy!" Upon hearing this, Agulu put aside his dissatisfaction with his son for the time being, and said: "Agulu  "What you said makes sense. The Soviets are no longer good. Now that the Soviet Union has become stronger, we can no longer follow them all the way. We must find a way out for ourselves." "However, the Soviet troops are now in the city.  There are five or sixPeople, most of the Mongolian army is still loyal to them, you only have one company under your command, what can we do?  "Don't let the Soviets be defeated by then, and we will lose our lives first."  " Agula said: "Dad, I have thought about this before coming here. Although there are not many people under me, they are currently stationed at the front line of Dongcheng District. If we can receive the enemy into the city at night, then we will  **The biggest contributor to the capture of Cullen.  Not only will it avoid future disasters, but it may even be reused and flourish from now on.  " "The key is, how can we get in touch with the people outside the city?  "Agulu said with a frown. Agulu was also lost in thought. Suddenly he looked at the young woman who was lowering her head to warm the kumiss. An idea came to his mind and he said to Agulu: "Dad, I have a solution.  "  " Main station, the railway along Lake Baiga has been basically destroyed. Tomorrow the air force will continue to bomb Cheremhovo, Angarsk and other railway sections along the line.  In short, try to destroy this railway artery of the Soviet army as much as possible, so that the Soviets can only march on foot in the ice and snow for reinforcements.  "Zhang Xiaofu reported to Zhang Lingfu who was having dinner the war situation report he had just received from the Air Force. Zhang Lingfu held a somewhat cold steamed bun in his hand, took a bite, but stared at the map and said: "Very good, there is no foreign aid.  , there is no air supremacy yet, I wonder how long the rebels in the city can hold on.  ” …………… Agura’s company is stationed in an area inside the east gate of Cullen City. Two companies of the Soviet army control the city gate. Around one o’clock in the morning, the temperature in Cullen City is very cold, and the garrison  Most of the Soviet troops in the direction of the city gate hid in the fortification bunkers with raised stoves and fell asleep. There were only two Soviet soldiers standing guard at the closed city gate entrance with Mosinagan rifles on their backs.  On the west bank of Tula outside the city, the Soviet army mainly relied on the defense line formed by the Tula River flowing from the east of the city to resist the attack of the Chinese Army. The area around the city gate and Dongcheng District was still in a second-line defensive position.  , but the cunning Soviets still controlled the city gate in their own hands, just in case. If Agula and his men wanted to get out of the city, they had to deal with the Soviet troops guarding the city gate.  Before complete collapse, Agula would not be stupid enough to attack the city gate. Therefore, what he wanted to do now was to attack as soon as possible while the Soviet position outside the city was still close to the city gate area.  Once they broke through the Soviet defense line on the west bank of the Tula River, he would take advantage of the chaos to attack the Soviet troops guarding the city gate to allow the enemy to enter the city. However, he had to get out of the city first.  That's it. Under the dark night, a dark figure walked toward the city gate in a panic. The two Soviet soldiers who were dozing at the gate were startled by the footsteps. One of them quickly turned on the flashlight and spoke in Russian.  He asked: "Who is it?  stop!  "The other person had already taken the Mosin Nagan rifle on his back, opened the safety and pulled the bolt to aim, and pointed at the black shadow. The black shadow quickly stopped, and through the light of the flashlight, the two Soviet Union  The soldiers were surprised to find that the person who came was a young and beautiful Mongolian woman. They didn't know how long they had been with a woman, but they felt a little dry in their throats, and there was a burning sensation in their stomachs. They turned around and saw nothing.  They looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then walked towards the trembling Mongolian woman. Amid the slight screams and struggles of the Mongolian woman, the two strong Soviet soldiers appeared.  He pulled her into an alley not far from the city gate, and started to press the bow regardless of the cold weather. At this time, a black shadow came out from behind a private house, quickly and quietly climbed up the city wall, along the rope.  Half an hour later, Agula relied on his familiarity with the terrain to bypass the Soviet frontal defense positions on the west bank of the Tula River and arrived at the east bank.  As soon as he landed, Agula was knocked unconscious by a sap. Several top soldiers who were about to catch the Soviet army's tongue on the other side gathered around and looked at the assassin who had just taken action.  The superior soldier put away the Garand rifle and said: "Boss, this guy is not a prostitute, he looks like a Mongolian puppet army, otherwise I would have stabbed him with a bayonet just now!"  " "What should I do? Should I take it back or throw it directly into the river?  "Another vanguard looked at the frozen Tula River not far away."nbsp; It would be unreasonable to throw it directly into the river in such cold weather.  The leader was a second lieutenant platoon leader, who considered the matter more comprehensively and said: "Look at the way this boy is dressed, he is probably not sent by the Japanese to spy on the military situation. This kind of living Mongolian puppet army is far inferior to their own work. Let's do it like this.  , Lao Liu, I will take people to continue the mission. You and Lao Si will take this kid back and send it to the headquarters. Let Shangfeng figure out his purpose and then decide how to deal with it. " The two top soldiers nodded in agreement.  They carried the unconscious Agula and left quietly. The more than 100 kilograms of Agula seemed as light as nothing in their hands. The two of them walked smoothly through the uneven grass of the wilderness without being affected at all, which showed that their skills were quite good.  (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 524: The strong are respected

    Zhang Lingfu looked at the map in the middle of the night. He was a little sleepy and just wanted to lie down and rest.  Zhang Xiaofu hurriedly walked in from the outside and saluted him: "General, just now the 1st Division Reconnaissance Battalion sent someone to deliver a newly captured Mongolian prisoner. Something was a little strange. Later we found the prisoner and him.  After communicating with him, I found out that he said that he was a puppet army commander in the city, and his family was a big family in Kulun City. He wanted to join us to help our troops enter the city. " "Oh?" Zhang Lingfu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry.  Express an opinion as if thinking something.  Zhang Xiaofu thought that Zhang Lingfu didn't believe it, so he said: "I also think that no matter whether he is true or false, a puppet company commander can play a big role, so let's lock him up first." "Wait a minute." Zhang Lingfu suddenly said  He stretched out his hand to stop him and said thoughtfully: "The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. Don't underestimate a puppet company commander. If he sincerely surrenders and rebels, he will suddenly turn against him at the most critical moment of the war."  The result of one blow may be the victory of the entire battle." Zhang Xiaofu was a little surprised and asked, "Sir, do you want to see this person?" Zhang Lingfu nodded and waved, "Bring him over quickly."  In response, he turned around and left, soon returning with two skilled scouts and a Mongolian prisoner in their custody.  Agula ignored the pain in the back of his head and looked at the handsome and burly Zhang Lingfu and several burly men around him in horror.  After all, having been the Soviets’ weakling for a long time, Agula still has some foresight.  Seeing that Zhang Xiaofu and others respected Zhang Lingfu, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Lingfu: "General, my name is Agula. I sincerely surrender to you. Please believe us." Zhang Lingfu naturally listened.  He didn't understand Mongolian, so he immediately asked Zhang Xiaofu to find a translator who could speak Mongolian.  After some communication.  Zhang Lingfu finally figured out what the man in front of him meant.  His dagger-like eyes stared coldly at Agula who was kneeling on the ground, staring so hard that Agula felt like he was walking on thin ice, his heart was trembling with fear, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.  It took a long time before Zhang Lingfu withdrew his oppressive gaze, showed a long-lost smile, and stretched out his hand to help the somewhat unconscious Agula up.  He smiled and said: "Brother Agula, I am very happy that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I represent the National Revolutionary Army and countless Chinese compatriots. Welcome you, your subordinates and your family." After the Mongolian translator next to him translated, Agu  The hanging heart finally fell to the ground.  Feeling like he was surviving a disaster, he was so excited that he shed tears on the spot, and finally finalized a series of cooperation plans with Zhang Lingfu while crying.  After the scouts sent Agula away, Zhang Xiaofu said worriedly: "Chief Commander, you said that this kid wouldn't play a trick and deliberately set a trap for us to lure us into the bait, right?" Zhang Lingfu said with a smile: "  Xiaofu, have you read too much of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? There are so many conspiracies and conspiracies in this Agula. They were natives of Kulun who relied on the Soviet army to become traitors.  For their own benefit. Now that the Soviets have lost power in Kulun, surrendering to us is their only way out. But Agula is the first to take this risk.  Although it is big, the gains in the future will definitely be more than those who come later. "Isn't such a person a capricious villain? Isn't it dangerous for us to cooperate with such a person?"  "Of course you have to use gentleman's methods when dealing with a gentleman. We don't have to keep our promises when dealing with capricious villains. In any case, capture the city of Kulun first. We will win this battle later. Such villains have been fooled by the Soviets for so long.  They usually bully men and women and cause harm to the local people. When the time comes, they can serve as a warning to any traitors and win over the hearts of most Mongolian compatriots.  The Mongolian race can select truly loyal, courageous and solid people to cooperate with us to strengthen China's border defense!" "I admire you, sir," Zhang Xiaofu nodded in approval.  "Okay, there's no need to say any more polite words of flattery between you and me. It's getting late. You should go rest and recuperate. Tomorrow we will launch a big attack." Zhang Lingfu waved his hand.  ……………… Peiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.  Although the combat staff in the war roomThey have all dispersed, but the lights are still bright here.  Jiang Baili walked in and saw Zhang Xinghan wearing a plush military coat sitting in front of the map and smoking.  "Commissioner, why aren't you asleep yet?" Jiang Baili stepped forward and asked.  Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw that it was Jiang Baili, and said truthfully: "I can't sleep. The city of Kulun is not falling all day long, so I can't sleep or eat well." Of course, Jiang Baili understands Zhang Xinghan's worries at the moment, and he is more aware of the current domestic situation.  It's not time to go into full-scale war with the Soviets.  Just as I picked up a chair and wanted to sit down and comfort Zhang Xinghan, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.  The two looked at each other and turned around at the same time, only to see a communications soldier on duty outside walking excitedly with a message in his hand.  "What's going on?" Jiang Baili was the first to ask.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were there, the communications soldier quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Both officers are here. No wonder Beizhi went to the bedroom just now and didn't find it. That's right, Beizhi just received a message from my mission from Germany.  "Is there any news from Mr. Zhou?" Zhang Xinghan perked up when he heard this, and Jiang Baili took the message and read it.  Zhang Xinghan asked eagerly: "How is it? Is it done?" Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner, Duke Zhou said that Hitler and the senior German generals were very interested in the drawings we brought and said that if we could provide a complete set of complete  Drawings to help them improve and speed up the development of new equipment, they agreed to form a strategic alliance with us!" "Great." Zhang Xinghan stood up excitedly and smoked half a cigarette in his hand.  "Commissioner, it seems that your drawings really played a big role." Jiang Baili said.  Zhang Xinghan had calmed down from the excitement just now, and said thoughtfully: "That's not necessarily true. Judging from the time, Duke Zhou and the others should have arrived in Germany long ago. Why did the good news come only now? It can be seen that their  The negotiations were not very smooth. If it was those drawings that played a role, it would be better to say that our army's performance in the battle in Outer Mongolia contributed to the Germans' willingness to ally with us. After all, Hitler and the German top brass were not fools.  , no matter how advanced the design drawings are, they cannot rashly form an alliance with other countries just because of this. In the final analysis, if you want to form an alliance on an equal footing, you still have to have the strength that the other party can appreciate. The strong will not ally with the weak.  "This victory at Zamyn-Uud just allowed the Germans to see the powerful combat effectiveness of our army. If the alliance can be successful, our Desert Fox will be indispensable." (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 525: Recapture of Kulun

    With the information that Duke Zhou had sent back from Germany, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were overjoyed and then seriously thought about the key.  . The reason why the Germans declined was that as long as Zhang Xinghan could provide more comprehensive drawings of tanks, combat vehicles and other weapons and equipment, they would agree to form an alliance with China.  Everyone knows that preparing drawings cannot be completed in a day or two.  Therefore, the intention behind the Germans is probably to see whether the [***] led by Zhang Xinghan has the ability to win this border war between China and the Soviet Union.  How will this battle end?  Therefore, it is more important to recover Coulomb as soon as possible and avoid the outbreak of all-out war than to provide subsequent comprehensive drawings.  After thinking about this, Zhang Xinghan sent another urgent telegram to Zhang Lingfu overnight.   In Zhang Lingfu's headquarters, Zhang Lingfu took the thing on the table in front of him in his hand, shook it to a group of senior officers who had just been urgently awakened and came to the meeting and said: "In order to achieve our strategic goal of forming an alliance with the Germans,  , the Chairman called again to urge us to end the fighting within two days, completely annihilate the enemy in Kulun, and recover the entire territory of Outer Mongolia. " "In addition, 300,000 reinforcements from Xinjiang Province are already on the way, and they will start tomorrow at most.  More than 20,000 troops will be able to arrive. Although the arrival of these reinforcements will not be of much benefit to solving the Kulun battle within two days, it will be able to make up for our lack of troops and regain the entire territory of Outer Mongolia after the Kulun battle.  "Commander-in-Chief, since the military situation is so urgent, please give the order. We will fight to the death and climb to the top of Culun City to fulfill our mission," a major general said first!  .  Others also followed suit with indignation.  Zhang Lingfu waved his hands without much emotion, and said: "Everyone, it's almost dawn now, and there's no rush to attack. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will keep you from chopping firewood. Don't sleep anymore. Go back to your own ways.  Assemble the troops and be fully prepared. I will contact the air force right away. After dawn, we will launch a full-scale attack on Cullen!”… After Agula experienced great sorrow and joy, it was almost dawn when he returned to the city.  He did not stay there, but went home while the night was still dark.  When he returned home, he saw Laozi Agulu comforting the woman who was forced to seduce the Soviet soldiers.  This good-looking woman naturally did not agree to do such unspeakable and embarrassing things at first, but when Agula threatened her family, she had no choice but to compromise.  Seeing Agula come back after a long journey, Agulu patted the woman on the back, stood up, winked at Agula, and the father and son walked out one after the other.  When he came to the yard, Agulu hurriedly asked: "Son, how are you? Is it successful?" Agulu's brows were full of excitement, and he nodded hurriedly: "Dad, it's done, I've made it with the city."  We have established contact with the [***] outside. As soon as they break through the Soviet positions outside the city, I will lead a raid on the city gate and cooperate with them to help them enter the city. After this is accomplished, the National Government will appoint you as the leader of Cullen City.  Mayor, my son, I want to be a major general." Hearing what Agu La said, the old silver stick's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he was so excited that he said: "That would be great, if I can really become this Culun.  As the mayor of the city, that can be regarded as getting ahead and honoring one’s ancestors!” After saying that, Agulu said solemnly to Agula: “Son, you must be careful this time and go all out. Whether our family can get ahead depends on it.  It's yours!" Agula nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I understand, it's getting late, I'll go back first." Agula nodded and said, "Okay, you.  Be careful on the road." "I understand." Agula turned around and left without a care.  ……………… The next morning it was early.  Three hundred Stuka dive bombers and one hundred Zero fighters were all dispatched. The mixed fleet of four hundred fighters covered the sky like locusts, and flew over the city of Cullen in darkness.  A new day of fierce bombing began. From the dispatch of such a number of fighter planes at once, it is not difficult to see Zhang Lingfu's determination this time.  In addition to the almost overwhelming force of the air force, outside the city, especially on the other side of the Tula River in the east of the city, Zhang Lingfu gathered all the artillery that he could muster in his 70,000-strong army.  The pre-set artillery positions on the east coast were lined up, echoing the fierce bombing of the Air Force, and began to rain down steel bullets on Lao Maozi's head. ?Rows of artillery shells and aerial bombs falling densely in the air fell on the Soviet position, and there were sudden bursts of earth-shaking huge explosions.  Groups of huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky accompanied by flames.  The Soviet defense positions along the river in the east of the city were the most intensively bombed and shelled.  On the two-mile-square position outside the city, there were explosions, fires, and thick smoke everywhere, covering the entire position.  It is self-evident that the thousands of Soviet troops who stood here suffered casualties.  While our own artillery and air force were still venting their anger, on the east bank of the Tula River, about twenty No. 4 bridge-building tanks had quietly driven to the shore and began to erect steel bridges in an intense and orderly manner.  Whether it was the Soviet troops in positions outside the city or on top of the city, they were all bombarded by the dense and powerful aerial firepower and artillery shells, making them want to dig three feet into the ground to avoid them.  How can we take care of the bridging tank operation of the [***] team in the organization.  About half an hour later, a No. 4 tank laid the last piece of the steel bridge structure.  A steel structure bridge spanning the east and west banks of the Tula River was quietly completed.  Hundreds of Panzer IV tank groups and thousands of [***] infantry immediately swarmed to the bridgehead on the east bank, waiting for their own air force and artillery to end their bombing before launching a fierce attack.  Three hundred Stukas and more than five hundred artillery pieces of various calibers conducted bombing and artillery fire for an hour.  The entire city of Kulun has been completely shrouded in thick smoke, and blazing fires can be seen everywhere in the thick smoke.  The buildings and Soviet fortifications in the city were all destroyed and turned into ruins.  “Whether it was the Mongolian civilians or the puppet troops and Soviet troops in the city, they were all killed and wounded, and it was horrific.  The artillery fire had just begun to spread, and as a [***] colonel who personally led the team shouted loudly, [***] tanks and infantrymen who had been waiting for a long time on the east bank of the bridge immediately swarmed onto the bridge.  They quickly arrived at the west bank and launched quickly, with tanks as the forerunners and infantry and tanks working together to launch an assault deep into the Soviet positions.  The thick smoke still lingered on the Soviet position. Except for a few lucky Soviet soldiers who managed to fire a few shots, the [***] advance was very smooth.  PS: There will be another chapter later!  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 526: Recovering Outer Mongolia

    Until the attacking troops advanced to the area near the city wall, they were about to penetrate all the Soviet field defense positions outside the city.  The Soviet resistance gradually became tenacious and intensive.  “In addition to some Soviet troops hiding in trench fortifications who desperately resisted, there were also old men charging out in groups with rifles in the city gate.  Although Lao Maozi's individual soldier quality and weapons are not that good, their strict discipline and fearless spirit are still worthy of praise.  The situation on the battlefield at this time is that hundreds of tanks and thousands of infantry have successfully advanced.  Intensive machine gun fire and bazooka rocket launchers created a network of death firepower.  Whether it was the Soviet troops holding on to the last trenches or those swarming out of the city gate to come for reinforcements.  They were all covered in firepower like a torrential rain, falling down in rows and pieces.  However, the Soviet soldiers at the back still shouted some slogans and continued to charge forward without fear of death.  "Their fighting consciousness is no less than that of the Japanese devils, but so what? Even Japan was beaten to a pulp by us and suffered heavy casualties, let alone them? No matter how tenacious they are under the absolute firepower of steel bullets,  After all, they are flesh and blood. Order the attacking troops not to be soft, concentrate all your firepower on me and hit me hard!" Zhang Lingfu said on a high ground on the east coast while observing the battle with a telescope.  …………… In the east area of ??the city, on the defensive position of the Agula Company.  One of his men bent over and ran along the fortifications that were almost blown into ruins. He said to Agula: "Company Commander, the firepower of this gun is too strong. If such bombings are repeated several times, the entire city of Culun will be destroyed."  I’m afraid they’ll all be razed to the ground, right?” Agula didn’t say that.  But he deeply believed it in his heart, and at the same time, he strengthened his determination to join the army. The more powerful the army showed, it also proved from the side that his choice was correct.     so.  Agula is not angry at all because the Japanese bombed on such a large scale and caused casualties to his men.  "Company Commander, this old man has started to add troops to the front again. It seems that the enemy has already reached the city gate, otherwise he wouldn't mobilize troops so frequently." Another subordinate looked at another Soviet army coming from  Running through the streets, Road.  Agula, who was hiding behind the fortification, raised his head and peeked for a while.  He asked: "How many batches is this?" A subordinate replied: "At least the sixth batch." "Hey, dear, stop the bombardment and start the attack according to the regulations. It has only been half an hour now, and Lao Maozi has added troops six times.  The city gate was damaged so quickly?" Agula said in shock.  "Company Commander, this old man has suffered such heavy losses. He is so jealous for a while, why don't we also be transferred as cannon fodder?" Another subordinate said.  A trace of fierceness flashed in Agula's eyes and he said: "Now I think Lao Maozi will let us go, so we can counterattack and help the people enter the city. However, Lao Maozi has not sent anyone to pass the order until now. Maybe he wants us to be a team like this.  The inconspicuous small force was forgotten. "In fact, due to the crazy bombing and large-scale persistent shelling by the Japanese.  The bombing of Kulun City, especially the east area of ??the city, caused a big change. Many small groups of puppet troops went to contact the Soviet army.  At this time, the Soviet army in the city really forgot about a completely inconspicuous small force like Agula.  In addition, the war situation was so urgent that there was no time to send anyone to confirm whether they were dead or alive, so he had to mobilize the troops he could contact to attack.  After waiting for nearly half an hour, we heard the sound of gunfire and shouts of death coming closer and closer from the direction of the city gate.  Agula finally couldn't wait any longer. He was deeply afraid that once the enemy invaded the city by himself, the enemy would kill him and his subordinates as puppet soldiers, which would be a big loss.  Therefore, Agula pulled out his own gun and ordered to the men behind him: "Brothers, the critical moment has arrived. The defeat of Lao Maozi has been determined. There is no need for us to follow him and be buried. As the saying goes, if you move the tree, you will die, and if you move the person, you will live."  I have already contacted the **. As long as we attack the city gate at this time and escort them into the city, what we have done in the past will be forgotten. From now on, we will also be part of the **. Brothers, we will see you later.  They pretended to be reinforcements and approached the city gate. Once they got close, everyone immediately put their military hats on backwards and quickly seized the city gate to escort the attackers into the city. In order to avoid accidental injury, in addition to their military hats, everyone also shouted "Long Live the ***".  Do you understand?" "Understood!" Nearly a hundred of Agula's subordinates responded in Mongolian.  Occasionally, the Soviet troops passing by thought they were cheering them up before the battle.  Without thinking too much, then they rushed toward the city gate with Agula and the others.  At this time, the city was already in chaos, and groups of Soviet and puppet troops were rushing along the streets toward the city gate at any time for reinforcements.  There are them in every unit and every army, no one knows anyone, and no one cares about anyone.  Therefore, Agula and his 100 men arrived near the city gate smoothly.  At this time, a fierce battle was raging outside the city gate. Agula could vaguely see that the Soviet troops who rushed out of the city and the helpless Mongolian troops fell in pieces under the fierce firepower of the Japanese.  With a feeling of horror in his heart, Agula spotted a sturdy Soviet officer running towards them quickly.  When he came to the front, he first kicked away a subordinate who was blocking Agula, and then roared loudly at them.  From his actions, Agula could vaguely guess that the Soviet officer wanted him to lead the team to join the charge.  This order that clearly told Agula to die was impossible for him to carry out in normal times, not to mention that Agula was already planning to betray him.  Amidst the roar of the Soviet officer, Agula suddenly fired several shots at him with his pistol. After knocking him down, he raised his gun and waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, success or failure depends on this one move. Seize the city gate and escort the police into the city.  We are the heroes! Go ahead and kill these stupid polar bears!" "Go ahead! Kill them!" More than a hundred puppet soldiers who were often discriminated against and abused by the Soviet army roared and started to attack the city gate.  Shooting at the top of the city.  Immediately, the troops quickly divided into two groups and seized the city gate and city head.  The Soviet troops, who were charging towards the outside of the city and resisting on top of the city without fear of death, and fiercely exchanged fire with the enemy, did not expect that someone would suddenly open fire from behind.  Caught off guard, they fell down in large pieces one after another.  The Soviet defense line, which was already reaching its limit, collapsed instantly at this moment.  If the fierce offensive and defensive battle between the Soviet army and the rebels outside the city can be compared to a scale, it has entered a stage of intense stalemate.  “ Then Agula and his ragtag group of men, No. 100, became the last straw that broke the balance and broke the camel’s back.  Of course, with the country's combat effectiveness and absolute advantages in all aspects, they can eventually invade the city even without Agula's support, but it will take longer and the casualties may be greater.  Under attack from two sides, the Soviet and puppet troops on the top of the city and outside the city gate were quickly eliminated.  When the Japanese No. 4 tank rumbled into the city under the cover of a large number of infantry.  It was too late for the Soviet troops in the city to counterattack.  Agula sat down behind the wall with a heavy breath, breathing in the fresh air.  The battle just now was dangerous. If the enemy hadn't come quickly, his number 100 wouldn't have been enough to defeat the Soviet troops in the city.  After resting for a while, Agula was attracted by the intensive gunfire and the overwhelming shouts of killing under the city.  He got up curiously, looked up and looked down, and saw that the Soviet troops had entered the city, and the hot tongues of fire continued to fire at the Soviet troops in the city.  The Soviet troops were retreating steadily due to fierce and powerful assault firepower, resulting in heavy casualties.  At this point, Agula’s hanging heart finally fell to the ground.  He knew that there was no suspense in this battle.  In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, February was low. After nearly a week, thousands of aircraft sorties, more than 500 tanks, and hundreds of artillery were dispatched.  After a bloody battle of 70,000 troops, Zhang Lingfu finally broke into Kulun City before the Soviet reinforcements arrived. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the recalcitrant Soviet troops in the city were basically eliminated.  Of the 100,000 defenders in the city, most of the puppet troops surrendered, half of the Soviet troops were killed, and the rest also surrendered.  Zhang Lingfu seized countless trophies such as ammunition, grain, and medicine.  The Soviet reinforcements were also blocked near Lake Baikal due to damage to the Trans-Siberian Railway. They marched on foot in the ice and snow. Not only were their movements slow and heavy equipment difficult to move forward, but the harsh weather they suffered also greatly weakened the Soviet troops.  The morale and vigor of the army.  It also caused a lot of non-combat attrition of the Soviet army.  On the second day after the Chinese ** team regained Kulun, 30,000 forward troops of the 300,000-strong army departing from Xinjiang also arrived in time.  Zhang Lingfu seized this rare opportunity and commanded the 100,000 troops in his hands to divide into groups. In just a few days, Darkhan, Zonghara and other vast areas of Outer Mongolia were conquered.  By the beginning of March, all important lost territories in Outer Mongolia were basically recovered.  At this time, the main reinforcements of 300,000 troops from Xinjiang arrived one after another.  Zhang Xinghan also mobilized 100,000 troops from Chahar and other places.??Enter Outer Mongolia to strengthen Outer Mongolia's border defense strength.  Zhang Lingfu ordered people to rush to repair the airport that was destroyed by the Soviet army in Kulun, and at the same time mobilized troops and sent 300,000 troops to the border.  Seeing that the Chinese ** team had been well prepared and that they had been marching hastily in the ice and snow for days, the Soviets had low morale and unstable military morale, so they had to stop their advance and urgently reported the situation in the Far East to Moscow.  The Soviet troops in the direction of Manzhouli and Vladivostok also suffered a setback.  The border guards in the direction of Manchuria even fought a counterattack against the Soviet army, using the advantages of tank troops and air force to counterattack more than 100 kilometers into the Soviet Union.  Returned triumphantly with a great harvest.  The Soviet army equipped all new tanks for use in the surprise attack in Inner Mongolia. In the Battle of Zamyn-Uud, the entire Soviet army was wiped out. Therefore, the Soviet army in the direction of Manzhouli was unable to withstand the assault of the No. 4 tank fleet of the Chinese ** Corps.  , failure is also reasonable.  (To be continued.

    Berlin, Germany.  In Hitler’s office, the Nazi Party’s second-ranking figure, G?ring, and his chosen confidant, Himmler, now the leader of the Gestapo, were reporting important intelligence to the mustachioed Hitler sitting behind the desk.  Himmler, a maniacal murderer and executioner who was talked about in the German party, government and military circles, would behave very cautiously and respectfully.  He said to Hitler in a very respectful tone: "Dear Prime Minister, the Battle of Coulomb in the Far East is over, and the Chinese Communist Army has achieved a comprehensive victory. After taking Coulomb, the Chinese Communist Army, under the command of its Desert Fox Zhang Lingfu, used the autumn wind to  The method of sweeping fallen leaves swept the entire Outer Mongolia. Since then, the Nationalist government continued to increase its troops in Outer Mongolia. The Soviet army was unable to arrive in time because the strategic transportation line, the Trans-Siberian Railway, was damaged by the Chinese Air Force.  At the Sino-Soviet border, the Soviet army was forced to stop advancing and stay put. "Oh? How did the Soviets react to this?" Hitler asked in surprise.  "At present, it seems that Moscow has not issued the latest instructions on this, and the two sides are still in a confrontation." Himmler replied.  Hitler thought for a while and suddenly said to Goering: "Go and invite Mr. Zhou from China. I want to have a meeting with him." Goering was startled at first, then suddenly realized, and quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, I will do it right now.  Go and inform Mr. Zhou. "…………Moscow, Kremlin Building No. 1.  In Stalin’s office, Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria, the current member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union and Stalin’s absolute confidant, was fearfully bearing the wrath of the former.  "You bastards, you are a bunch of losers. I have withdrawn all the officers at division level and above in the Far East Military Region. I will send the supreme commander to a military court immediately" After learning that Kulun was lost and the entire Outer Mongolia returned to China.  Stalin roared extremely angrily.  Beria nodded obediently, and finally asked cautiously: "Dear leader, how should we deal with the current situation in the Far East? The frontline troops are facing many difficulties now. The Chinese Air Force dominates the skies in the Far East, and they continue to raid our  Railways, bridges and important places for garrisoning troops and supplies, and the squadron's morale is high. Our army's morale has been low due to the successive defeats in the Far East, and I'm afraid" Before Beria could finish his words, Stalin doubled down.  His eyes widened and he roared: "That's enough, I don't want to hear these excuses. What I want is victory. Victory, do you understand?" Beria quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I understand the humble position." However, before Stalin could re-appoint a new commander  officer, issued the order to attack to the Far East Military Region.  News came out from Germany that it would formally form an alliance with the Republic of China.  Although Stalin was very angry, in view of the changes in the international situation and the unfavorable situation in the Far East, he finally had to order the troops sent to the Far East to garrison on the spot, ending this undisclosed local border conflict in an extremely dishonorable manner.  Provoked war three times.  It ended in failure three times. It is not difficult to guess how angry Stalin was.  Therefore, just after issuing the armistice order, he strictly ordered all domestic military-industrial enterprises and departments to immediately launch full-scale research and development work to improve the level of Soviet weapons and equipment as soon as possible.  This also paved the way for the Soviet-German war of unprecedented scale and brutality.  One month later.  Nanjing City.  Zhang Lingfu made a triumphant return to Nanjing from the Mongolian border.  Zhang Xinghan led members of the Executive Yuan and the Military Commission to greet him personally at the Nanjing Military Airport.  At the same time, there were tens of thousands of Nanjing citizens at the scene, vying to be the first to witness the elegance of the second national hero after Zhang Xinghan.  Under the escort of four BF109 fighter jets, the transport plane Zhang Lingfu was riding landed smoothly and safely.  When the cabin door just opened, Zhang Lingfu walked out with his adjutant Zhang Xiaofu. The moment he walked out of the cabin, several dazzling flashes of light froze the scene forever.  This photo appeared in the China Daily the next day, showing the triumphant return of General Zhang Lingfu, China’s desert fox and national hero.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others smiled and took a few steps forward. Seeing this, Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xiaofu hurriedly came over and saluted: "The labor committee has come to greet you. Lingfu is very frightened!" "Lingfu welcomes you on your triumphant return. What are you doing?  The country has made great achievements for the nation, and it is only right that we come to welcome him." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  "It's an honor to be commended. Lingfu just fulfilled his duty as a soldier." Zhang Lingfu said humbly.  "Okay, let's not be polite here. Come back to the city quickly, hundreds of thousands ofPeople in the capital are eagerly waiting to see the Desert Fox.  "Jiang Baili joked with a smile. "Commissioner, Duke Zhou is back.  "In the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission, Guo Zhong walked in and reported to Zhang Xinghan. "Really? Please invite him in quickly.  " Zhang Xinghan ordered. Guo Zhong quickly left and returned, leading the smiling Duke Zhou to walk vigorously. Zhang Xinghan hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet him. He held Duke Zhou's hand cordially and said, "Gong Zhou, thank you for your hard work!  " Duke Zhou smiled indifferently: "General Zhang, you are serious. It is my responsibility and my honor to contribute to the country and the nation. It is not hard at all.  " After some pleasantries, Duke Zhou took out a document and handed it to Zhang Xinghan and said: "This is an official document about our alliance with the Germans. Hitler has already signed it. It will be officially effective after you sign it.  .  " "Gong Zhou, didn't I grant you full authority to act on this matter before leaving?  "Zhang Xinghan took the document as he walked. "Hitler sent G?ring, the second-largest figure in the Nazi Party, to China to show that he attached great importance to this alliance.  So I think it would be better for you to sign this signature in person.  "Zhou Gongdao. "Oh?  Really, what about Goring others?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "It should still be on the way. I set off a few days earlier than him, and I think I will arrive in the next few days.  "Zhou Gongdao. "Oh.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Duke Zhou, did Hitler personally greet you when you arrived in Berlin?"  " Duke Zhou shook his head and said: "No, we had not formed an alliance at that time, and the German government just sent an ordinary official to greet us.  "    "so.  Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "After Goering comes to China in a few days, you can just randomly send an official from the Executive Yuan to greet him at the airport. This is called equal treatment."  " "Would this cause displeasure to the Germans?  " Zhou Gong said with some worry. "It's okay, Westerners are different from us. What we pay attention to is courtesy and reciprocity, a country of etiquette.  They believe in taking the lead in force, and whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.  To the Germans, we are an equal alliance, not a subordinate relationship. We will welcome their envoys as they treat our envoys.  "To be fair, the Germans will not think so much, nor can they be allowed to think so much. They are more eager than us to have a strong foreign aid ally to break the isolation situation in Europe.  " Zhang Xinghan said. PS: That's it for today. If you don't feel well, go to bed early and make up for the third update tomorrow! (To be continued.

    "By the way, Goering came to China this time to find out what happened. I think we should organize a massive military parade so that the Germans can witness the majesty of our Chinese army." Zhang Xinghan said.  Duke Zhou pondered for a while and nodded in agreement: "I think we can build one so that the Germans can observe the heroic appearance of our army. It is well-equipped and will be of great benefit to the alliance between our two countries." "Refer to the troops.  Let the garrison of Nanjing City make the selection, and Duke Zhou will be responsible for the specific matters later." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.  Duke Zhou hesitated and said: "General Zhang, I am the Vice President of the Executive Yuan. Isn't it inappropriate to mobilize troops to participate in the review? Do you think you should select suitable candidates from the Military Commission to handle this matter?" Zhang Xinghan  He immediately waved his hand and said: "Gong Zhou, don't refuse. You are more reassuring than anyone else. This matter is related to our military prestige and national prestige. It is not a trivial matter. You should work harder. Those who can work harder."  "I'll say hello to the city defense headquarters and the garrison commanders later." Duke Zhou nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, then I'll take over." A large oil tanker flying a German flag slowly entered Wusongkou, Shanghai.  Yangtze.  Behind it, two military gunboats with a tonnage of about 1,000 were followed by the Chinese Navy. They were two medium-sized gunboats affiliated with the Chinese Navy's Third Fleet. They were ordered to follow and protect the German oil tanker when it entered China's territorial waters in the South Pacific.  .  Under the escort of two gunboats, the German oil tanker passed through Jiangyin Fortress and other Yangtze River defense points unimpeded, and arrived at Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing.  ………… “Commission. Goering and his party did not take a plane from Taiwan to Nanjing, but came directly on their oil tanker. As a precaution, Shen Honglie sent two gunboats and a submarine, one overt and one covert.  An escort has been provided. Now Goering's tanker has arrived at Xiaguan Pier." Duke Zhou quickly came to Zhang Xinghan and reported.  "Not on a plane?" Zhang Xinghan said with some surprise: "That old boy Goring is quite interesting. Who did you arrange to greet him?" "Commissioner Han Fuqu, Director of the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Executive Yuan." Zhou Gong said: "He should be there now  We are already waiting at the Dachiaochang Airport. "Zhang Xinghan instructed: "Send someone to inform Han Fuqu immediately and drive to Xiaguan Pier to meet Golin and his party." "This trip will probably take a lot of time."  .  “It’s okay, let Goering and the others enjoy the beautiful scenery of our vast Yangtze River.” Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  ……………… At Shimonoseki Pier, the tanker flying the German flag has already entered the port and anchored.  But no one got off the boat.  Two Chinese gunboats were also parked not far away.  On the first deck of the second floor of the oil tanker, G?ring, wearing a suit and sunglasses, was looking at the bustling Xiaguan Pier in front of him with a dark face.  "Why haven't the Chinese come to greet us yet?" A German in his thirties behind Goering complained in a low voice.  He didn’t notice that Goering’s face became even more ugly.  Not long after, a group of heavily armed Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on the dock, putting the busy and bustling dock on alert.  The busy dock porters were kept aside.  A wide road was cleared.  When Goering saw this, his expression softened slightly.  The German behind him said dissatisfied: "The Chinese are finally here. It's so hateful to treat our great German mission so rudely." "Shut up." Goering shouted impatiently.  The middle-aged German guy was immediately frightened into silence, lowered his head and said nothing.  Han Fuqu felt very honored today.  I was very excited because the depression of being transferred to the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Executive Yuan, a department with no real power, was gone.  Receiving foreign missions, especially Germany, which is about to form an alliance, not only means that Zhang Xinghan has signs of reusing him, but also has the opportunity to build relationships with visiting German high-level officials.  If you can build a good relationship with the Germans, it might be of great help in the future.  Therefore, when Han Fuqu received this mission, he accepted it without hesitation, and rushed to the airport early in the morning with the guards arranged above to wait.  But what makes him depressed is.  Half an hour ago, he suddenly received a notice that the German delegation would not come to the airport, and he was asked to go to Xiaguan Pier to greet them immediately.  Although I was in a rather depressed mood, this unhappiness was soon replaced by the prospect of meeting the German mission.  The Guard completes the alertFinally, Han Fuqu and his adjutant got out of the car and walked directly along the temporarily guarded road towards the tanker Goering was riding.  Goering took one look, turned around and said, "Let's go down, the Chinese are coming." After saying that, he took the lead and walked down.  A few minutes later, the two parties met at the edge of the pier.  "Hello, I am a member of the Executive Yuan and Minister of Water Resources of the Republic of China. On behalf of our government, I would like to welcome the arrival of friendly delegations!" Han Fuqu extended his hand with a humble smile.  After G?ring listened to the accompanying translator translate what Han Fuqu said, he frowned. He was now the commander-in-chief of the German Air Force, with the rank of aviation general, and was only one step away from the marshal.  And his status in the German Nazi Party is second only to their great leader Hitler.  With such a status, it would be appropriate for the Chinese government to at least send someone at the level of vice chairman to greet him, right?  Even before arriving in China, Goering always believed that Zhang Xinghan, the new chairman of the Nationalist Government and the brightest war star in Asia in recent years, would come to greet him in person when he arrived.  But he didn’t expect that the person who came to greet him was the Minister of Water Resources who had no real power. This really made the arrogant Goering angry.  Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Han Fuqu's friendly extended hand and snorted coldly: "Minister Han, we have arrived at the dock a long time ago, why did you make us wait for so long? Is this your contempt for our German Empire?" Han Fuqu  Seeing Golin wearing sunglasses with a dark face, he did not shake hands with him.  He also said a lot of words in German that he didn't understand at all.  He looked at the people behind Goering with a blank look on his face, and one of the adjutants translated in Chinese.  After hearing this, Han Fuqu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "General Goering, please don't misunderstand me. I thought you were coming by plane, so I arrived at the airport early in the morning to wait, so I arrived late.  , please be considerate to me." Han Fuqu didn't know that Golin disliked his low status and was not worthy of greeting him, so he quickly explained with a smile.  After the adjutant translated for Goering, Goering's face did not improve at all. He was still livid and said: "I want to see your chairman. Please lead the way, Minister Han." "Okay. General, please follow me."  Han Fuqu quickly shook his hands and said.  I was wondering for a while, how come this German guy has such virtues? Damn it.  I was expecting to build a relationship with you, but I didn't expect that all of you are difficult to maintain and rude.  In his heart, he scolded all the eighteen generations of Goering and his party's ancestors. Han Fuqu led them into the prepared car.  Under the escort of a large number of guards, they drove towards the city of Nanjing.  ………… “Oh, Marshal Goering, hello, welcome to China. Nice to meet you. Your heroic performance in World War I is very admirable.” Half an hour later, the Military Committee  's gate.  Zhang Xinghan led a large group of military and political officials such as Jiang Baili and Zhou Gong and said kindly to the dark-faced Goering.  Seeing that Zhang Xinghan was so enthusiastic towards him and his words were full of respect, G?ring's bad mood improved a little. He reluctantly smiled and shook hands with Zhang Xinghan and said: "Thank you, Chairman Zhang. You are the most eye-catching person in recent years."  Invincible God of War, Hitler, the leader of our great German Empire, specially asked me to say hello to you before I leave. "Thank you very much. I hope to have tea and chat with Mr. Hitler when I have the opportunity." Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily.  road.  Goering, who was a soldier, admired Zhang Xinghan's character and attitude very much. The unhappiness caused by Han Fuqu's greeting him also passed away quietly inadvertently.  ……………… Goering’s arrival officially laid a solid foundation for the Sino-German alliance, and the two countries began unprecedented mutually beneficial cooperation.  After consulting Hitler, Goering signed a series of cooperation statements with the Chinese government on behalf of Germany.  The areas involved in this cooperation include comprehensive cooperation in hydropower, transportation, education, light, heavy and military industries.  The Germans have provided technology and talents to help the Chinese government carry out comprehensive development, so as to help China get rid of its status as a poor agricultural country and become an emerging industrial country as soon as possible.  In return, China needs to provide Germany with the various resources they need, such as steel, coal and other metals.  Of course, there have been strategic discussions between the two countries on how to smoothly put these cooperation into action without being disrupted by third countries.  The final result of the discussion was that China and Germany had not yet broken out into war with colonial powers such as Britain, the United States, and France.At present, the transportation of technical resources and talents from both sides will be carried through the navy.  If the strategic landscape changes, then both sides must find ways to open up connections between the Eurasian continent.  The driving factor behind this decision was naturally Hitler and G?ring’s ambition to dominate Europe, which was rapidly expanding due to their rapidly growing national and military power.  If you want to dominate Europe, in addition to defeating Britain and France, there is another powerful giant that needs to be defeated, and that is the Soviet Union.  Therefore, the so-called opening of the Eurasian continental communication line means that China and Germany will attack the polar bear from east to west and achieve a successful rendezvous.  As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan gave Goering some very prescient advice before he left, that is, the German army must avoid fighting on two fronts.  It would be best to join forces with the Chinese ** team to complete the grand goal of opening up the Eurasian continental transportation line and achieve rendezvous on land.  Then we will unite with other European allies to start a war with Britain, the United States, France, Japan and other countries.  The Chinese ** Corps will then send an expeditionary force to sweep across Southeast Asia and start a decisive battle with Britain and the United States in the Pacific, and then enter the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean.  Expeditionary forces will also be dispatched on land to cooperate with the German army.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 529: Massive Attack on Japan

    The alliance and comprehensive cooperation with Germany have also basically finalized the future strategic policy of the Chinese army.  But before completing these strategic settings, Zhang Xinghan believes that there is still one worry that must be eliminated.  That’s Japan’s survival. If you beat a snake but don’t die, you will suffer from it. Zhang Xinghan understands this truth.  Furthermore, from a strategic point of view, if not all the Japanese islands are under the effective control of the Chinese [***] force.  Once the Japanese release their sovereignty and provide naval, land and air force bases for the US military, American fighter planes can directly launch air strikes on the Chinese mainland.  “In this way, once China and the United States start a war in the Pacific, they will fall into great passivity.  So, after sending Goering away, Zhang Xinghan convened an important military meeting with the participation of all members of the Military Commission two days later.  "I have called all of you here today for only one purpose, and that is how to resolve the current situation on the Japanese archipelago as soon as possible, completely relieve our army of worries, and prepare for our army's attack on Southeast Asia in the future." Zhang Xinghan pressed his hands on the conference table and addressed the participants.  The crowd said.  "Commissioner, the Americans and the Japanese have signed an alliance treaty. If we attack Japan's Honshu Island and Hokkaido at this time, it is likely to trigger the United States to join the war." Li Zongren said directly.  "I know this. The purpose of calling everyone here is to discuss and see if there is any way to prevent the Americans from participating in the war." Zhang Xinghan said.  Bai Chongxi pondered for a while and said: "Commissioner, please forgive Jiansheng's blunt statement. If we launch an attack on Japan's Honshu Island and other places at this stage, it may be difficult to win, because once the Americans join the war in the name of fulfilling the defense treaty between the United States and Japan,  We will encounter joint resistance from the Japanese and American coalition forces, so with our current strength, we obviously cannot go to war with the Americans and the Japanese at the same time. What's more, we have just fought another war with the Soviets, although there have been three local conflicts.  We have all won, but Lao Maozi’s foundation has not been damaged, and his strength may still come back at any time. Therefore, I suggest that the committee carefully consider the decision to use troops.” Bai Chongxi’s analysis is undoubtedly quite satisfactory.  .  Therefore, the consent of several participants headed by Li Zongren was obtained.  And Mr. Jiang also nodded silently without comment.  Zhang Xinghan saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, smiled brightly and said: "Everyone, it is precisely because we are surrounded by powerful enemies that we should resolve the war against Japan as soon as possible to avoid future worries. At this stage, the Soviets have eaten three times in a row  If the war is defeated, it will be impossible to provoke another war in the north in a short time. Now is an extremely rare opportunity for us. Once the Soviets take a breath, they can develop new aircraft that can compete with our air force fighters and ground forces.  After the mass production and installation of advanced tanks and armored vehicles, the real decisive battle will come." After a pause, Zhang Xinghan continued: "As for the Americans, we will avoid it if we can. If we can't avoid it, we will not hesitate to fight.  It is undesirable to be afraid of wolves and tigers behind. Maybe the cooperation between the Americans and the Japanese is not as strong as we thought. Will the Americans be willing to risk the lives of thousands of their own soldiers for the sake of the Japanese?  These can only be known after fighting." Zhang Xinghan's words caused everyone present to fall into deep contemplation.  For a time, the conference room fell into unprecedented silence.  Jiang Baili, the only one who was not a member of the Military Committee but was invited to the meeting, was the first to break the silence and said: "I agree with the committee's proposal. Any war has risks. If the Americans are really willing to pay for the Japanese war, then what will happen to us?"  What a waste of time. As the committee member said just now, in view of the changes in the surrounding enemy environment and the international situation, the best time for us to destroy Japanese militarism and occupy the whole of Japan is between now and the next year.  "If you miss it, the difficulty and pressure you will have to pay may be several times higher than it is now." "Since Brother Baili said so, I agree," Zhu Gong expressed his support.  With Zhu Gong’s support, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren looked at each other and nodded in agreement.  Jiang Gong finally said: "Since we have decided to officially attack Japan, we should be fully prepared to strive for success in one fell swoop. At the same time, we must also be prepared to fight a protracted war of attrition with the Americans. If the Americans participate in the war, we will station ourselves in Japan.  The connection between the dispatched troops and the base camp of the motherland is likely to be cut off. "This needs special attention.""Vice Chairman Jiang is right. I think we should leave sufficient preparation time to at least provide enough ammunition, food, and oil for the dispatched troops to Kyushu Island for two years of consumption. To ensure that they are transported.  After the U.S. military cuts off its connection with the mainland, it can continue to hold on. In addition, the offensive force should still use Kyushu Island as its advance base, cross the Kanmon Strait, and attack Japan's Honshu Island head-on. "So, we must strengthen our forces on Kyushu Island."  Bai Chongxi first nodded in agreement, and then said: "The Japanese have deployed a large number of troops along the front of the Kanmon Strait and have been doing so for a long time. When the frontal attack is launched, we should also use the advantages of our navy and air force to bypass the Kanmon Strait.  , Landing from other areas of Honshu Island and even Hokkaido is best to open a breakthrough in Tokyo Bay, carry out landing, directly attack the Japanese capital Tokyo, and completely overthrow the militaristic regime. It would be better if we can capture Japan's Emperor Hirohito." "Everyone said.  Everything makes sense. Since you have all agreed to use troops against Japan, let us immediately order the deployment of troops in the name of the Military Commission. In addition to the 500,000 navy, army and air force on Kyushu Island, there are also 1 million land troops from the four major fronts.  Two-thirds of our navy and air force will be devoted to this battle to destroy the country." Zhang Xinghan said: "The people here are basically the commanders or senior officers of the various fronts. You will discuss the deployment of troops together.  Come." As soon as Zhang Xinghan said this, everyone present except Jiang Baili and Bai Chongxi involuntarily took a breath of air.  "In this way, the total strength of the navy, land and air force used by our army to attack the Japanese mainland will exceed 200 troops. The logistical preparations required for such a large-scale army campaign cannot be completed overnight." The speaker was  Li Zongren, who is also the vice chairman.  "The key is that now Taiwan and Outer Mongolia have just been recovered. Especially the Outer Mongolia area, which is close to the Soviet Union, needs to leave heavy troops for garrison. At present, the 470,000 troops from Outer Mongolia may not be deployed. This  It is already half the strength of the North China Front Army, and most of the elites are among them. There are not many mobile troops available for deployment in the North China Front Army. Will the sudden deployment of another one million troops cause instability in the country? "  Liu Xiangdao, a member of the Military Commission.  Liu Xiang’s words resonated with many committee members, and all of them frowned and looked worried.  Zhang Xinghan said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be too worried at all. Today, the number of the four front armies of the National Revolutionary Army far exceeds four million. The four northeastern provinces, the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, Outer Mongolia, and the west  The number of troops stationed along the border is 150,000, 120,000, 350,000, and 650,000, totaling 1.27 million. This does not include the number of Korean local troops composed of pro-China factions.  Excluding the 400,000 currently stationed on Kyushu Island and the Ryukyu Islands, the number is less than 1.7 million. Calculating this, there are at least 2.3 million to 2.5 million standing troops stationed in other areas.  Thousands, and after allocating one million troops, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops left. After excluding the above-mentioned major border areas, 1.3 million troops are absolutely more than enough to garrison the Mesopotamia and the southwest.  "What's more, this is only the number of our active troops. There are an astonishing number of military police and policemen in various large, medium and small cities and counties in the front armies." After listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Liu Xiang and others felt relieved, and he nodded: "  "From your analysis, our troops are quite sufficient." "Of course, where is our population base? These troops are not the final target number to achieve the recovery set by us and Germany.  According to the Rise Strategy Plan, the total number of our army, navy and air force will have to increase by at least six million in the next ten years to meet wartime needs," Zhang Xinghan said with some confidence and hope.  With the advanced population base of the Chinese nation, adding six million soldiers in the next ten years is really nothing.  You must know that during World War II, Germany and Japan, whose population bases were far less than those of China, mobilized and armed nearly 10 million troops.  If China develops very well in ten years, its war mobilization capacity will definitely not be less than 20 million. Zhang Xinghan's increase of another 6 million troops is just a conservative estimate.  A complete, unified and strong Chinese nation is by no means an extravagant hope to mobilize 20 million troops in the sea, land and air.  Of course, once such a large-scale army is formed, it will be a decisive battle against Britain, the United States and other countries, and even a final battle with Germany for world hegemony.?The final moment of status has arrived.  In ten years, Zhang Xinghan will use ten years of continuous military use to awaken the bloody and martial spirit of the Chinese nation that has been dormant for thousands of years.  Use ten years to help the Chinese nation achieve great rejuvenation and expand the living space of future generations as much as possible.  ??Establishing the transcendent status of the world's first-class citizens for future generations.  This is Zhang Xinghan’s current ambition and goal.  After basically finalizing the decision on the use of troops against Japan, Zhang Xinghan announced the adjournment of the meeting.  Everyone present at the meeting was ordered to start mobilizing troops and preparing war supplies.  "This should be an unprecedented battle of cross-sea conquest for the Chinese nation! I really look forward to the day when millions of armored men will enter Tokyo." After everyone left, Jiang Baili stood next to Zhang Xinghan in an excited mood, staring at Japan on the map.  Island Road.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 530: Crossing the Kanmon Strait

    Zhang Xinghan's order was quickly conveyed and implemented, and the four major front armies began an unprecedented large-scale deployment of troops and raising strategic supplies.  The Navy’s Third Fleet and the First and Second Fleets cruising in the waters around the Japanese archipelago have all mobilized their ships to return home and secretly transport troops and various war supplies to Kyushu Island.  The Air Force Command also began to mobilize capable fighters from all over the country as much as possible to form a combat flight group against Japan, and secretly stationed at various airports on the Korean Peninsula, Kyushu Island, and the Ryukyu Islands.  The scale of preparation for this war is huge, so it will take a long time.  Starting from mid-April of the 25th year of the Republic of China, it took seven months to collect and transport one million troops, enough grain, a large amount of oil, and ammunition for an army of 1.5 million for two years to Kyushu Island.  superior.  So far, more than 1.5 million Chinese army troops and hundreds of thousands of naval and air forces have gathered on Kyushu Island and nearby islands.  At the end of November in the 25th year of the Republic of China, Nanjing ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter.  At the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Zhang Xinghan, together with military and political dignitaries at all levels including the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan, were paying homage to the tomb of the Founding Father.  Outside Guanghua Gate and Zhonghua Gate, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were on standby, and flakes of snow continued to float in the sky.  The helmets and shoulders of the soldiers on standby outside the city were covered with white snowflakes, and their faces were all red from the cold.  But they seemed to turn a blind eye to the bone-chilling cold. Everyone's heart was boiling and their eyes were filled with hot light.  Because they are the last batch of troops who are about to go to Kyushu Island to participate in the attack on Japan.  They will swear an oath to fight together with Zhang Xinghan, the great leader they admire so much. This is a great honor for them, and even if they die in battle, their blood will be hot.  The heart is also warm and the soul has no regrets.  Along with these tens of thousands of soldiers, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the capital Nanjing who silently endured the bone-chilling snow and ice.  They silently gathered in the open space outside the city and on the city wall, looking eagerly at the soldiers who were about to take the oath to fight. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Zhongzheng, Bai Chongxi, and Li Zongren.  Zhu Gong, Liu Xiang, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Zhang Jingjiang and other national government military and political officials finally returned from Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.  Arrive outside Guanghua Gate.  "Brothers, we are about to fight a great war. In the Battle of Kyushu Island two years ago, we defeated the arrogant Japanese and avenged the humiliation of nearly a hundred years. But now they are still lingering. They  They still hate our Chinese nation and covet our territory. It’s time for them to give up completely and surrender to the blade of our Chinese sword. The war against Japan is just a starting point for the rise of our Chinese nation.  There are still many roads waiting for us to go. We will use the steel guns in our hands and our blood to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and win dignity for our descendants and gain more living space for China!  Young people, the future of the Chinese nation depends on you!” Zhang Xinghan’s few simple words were like throwing a match into a pile of dry firewood, instantly arousing a crazy response from the soldiers present.  Countless people began to raise their arms and guns and chanted fanatical slogans of "long live the Chinese nation and long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang."  ………… Japan, Tokyo Imperial Palace.  "Ishihara-kun. I heard that the Chinese have increased their garrison on Kyushu Island. What do they want to do?" The restless Emperor Hirohito asked Ishihara Wanji.  Ishihara Wanji lowered his head with a heavy face and said: "Your Majesty, if the information from the Special High School is correct, the Chinese people should want to continue to launch attacks on our homeland." Emperor Hirohito's face suddenly changed after hearing this, and he hurriedly said:  "Ai Qing Ishihara, is the empire capable of resisting the Chinese attack now?" Ishihara smiled and shook his head bitterly: "Reporting to your majesty, our country has not yet fully recovered its previous strength. If calculated based on pure military strength,  It is very likely that the Chinese will not be able to resist the invasion of Honshu Island. However, I suggest that if our regular army fails to resist, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to call on all the Yamato people to resist. Of course, this is only a last resort.  Under the current circumstances, we must organize all possible forces to strengthen the defense line, and at the same time seek the assistance of the Americans. " "Yes, Americans, haven't we signed an agreement with the Americans? Contact them immediately and request military assistance.  Help!" Emperor Hirohito seemed to have grabbed a lifeline.Life straw.  Ishihara smiled and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the United States immediately." ……………… United States, Office of the President of the White House in Washington.  Luo Zizi was working when a secretary assistant came in holding a document.  Report to him: "Mr. President, I have just received the latest news from the Japanese Embassy in Washington. The Chinese army is gathering on Kyushu Island in large numbers and is likely to launch another attack on the Japanese mainland." Roosevelt, who was at work, paused when he heard this.  He came down, put on his glasses, pondered for a while, and said to the assistant secretary: "Immediately go and notify the General Staff for a meeting." "Yes." The assistant secretary lowered his head in response, and quickly turned around and left.  “More than half an hour later, the staff of Roosevelt’s cabinet were basically all present, demonstrating their high work efficiency.  "The Chinese seem to want to take action against the Japanese. This is the document we have just submitted for help from the Japanese. Please take a look." Roosevelt said solemnly to the officials attending the meeting.  As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant secretary distributed the documents that had been printed in multiple copies to the officials.  Except for the occasional rustle of documents being turned, the meeting fell into a brief silence.  But soon, these officials at the top of the American power structure began to whisper among themselves in surprise.  Ten minutes later, Roosevelt coughed twice, stopped the increasingly heated discussion, and asked: "Everyone, please tell me your views. Should we send troops to Japan to support them? I must make it clear that once we participate  A Sino-Japanese war means declaring war on China. Today's China is no longer the sick man of East Asia. Since Zhang Xinghan was born, under his leadership, China is returning to its peak state. Today they are in the country.  Asia has become an invincible force. The just-concluded Battle of Outer Mongolia has proved that the Soviets are no match for the Chinese Army.” Of course, the high-level U.S. officials present at the meeting knew what Roosevelt said.  “However, neither the Navy, Army, nor the General Staff Headquarters are willing to declare war on China at this time before U.S. interests are violated.  Especially the Chinese ** team has risen rapidly in recent years, continuously defeating the Soviet Union and the Japanese, showing a strong combat effectiveness.  As a result, the meeting fell into a heated debate and eventually turned into a fierce quarrel.  Although Roosevelt wanted the United States to join the war to curb China's rise in Asia.  But neither the Navy nor the Army supported it, and people at the General Staff Headquarters were also wavering.  Therefore, the final result was that Roosevelt's proposal to participate in the war was rejected by Congress. However, in order to fulfill the previous agreement with Japan, Roosevelt still decided to send the US Pacific Fleet to protect the ongoing trade between the United States and Japan and proceed to Japanese waters.  Although Roosevelt is the president, he cannot launch a war on his own initiative. This is related to the laws and national conditions of the Americans.  In order not to bear the brunt of the war maniacs and executioners and cause the people to lose support for him, Roosevelt had no choice but to sit back and watch the Chinese Expeditionary Force attack Japan until he had a good excuse.  ……………… On the northern shore of the Kanmon Strait, the piercing sound of air defense sirens rang through the sky.  Countless Japanese soldiers began to panic and enter various air defense bunkers that had been built long ago.  Soon, a large number of Chinese fighter planes appeared in the sky.  The intense and intensive bombing began.  The Japanese positions along the north shore of the Kanmon Strait soon turned into a sea of ??flames.  On the sea in the middle of the strait, dozens of Chinese warships also opened fire, pouring tens of thousands of tons of steel naval gun shells onto the Japanese positions.  On the south bank, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers regarded death as returning home, and began a large-scale crossing in various rubber boats, assault boats, and landing craft.  Countless guns and cannons fired in unison, and streaks of hot and dazzling fire drew arc trajectories in the air like meteors, slamming down on the Japanese positions on the north bank.  Fire and smoke soared into the sky after the violent explosion.  Some unlucky Japanese air defense bunkers were hit by heavy aerial bombs and large-caliber naval gun shells one after another, and were directly blown up. All the Japanese soldiers hiding inside were buried alive.  There were also some Japanese soldiers who had no time to enter the air defense bunkers and were directly torn into countless pieces by the raging explosion shock wave airflow, and were wiped out in ashes.  Under the cover of the super three-dimensional firepower of naval guns, air force fighters and army heavy artillery groups.     numberTens of thousands of Chinese soldiers quickly approached the north bank.  Seeing that they were about to successfully land ashore, countless Japanese soldiers suddenly emerged from the bunkers in the face of violent explosions.  Not afraid of death, he began to fire violently to block the attack.  The water surface was full of waves caused by explosions. Unfortunately, many Japanese soldiers were hit by the dense rain of bullets and fell into the sea, dying heroically.  Blood quickly dyed the sea water red, but the attacking Chinese soldiers showed no fear at all. They all regarded death as if they were going home, and braved the dense hail of bullets to attack tenaciously.  The bloodthirsty confrontation between the two ethnic groups was fierce on the north shore of the Kanmon Strait.  The Japanese bravely rushed out of the bunker and entered the position to fire and block the attack without fear of death. Although it delayed the offensive edge of the Chinese ** team to a certain extent, the cost of casualties paid by their own side was also huge.  Hundreds of Chinese warplanes were swooping, strafing, and bombing back and forth, and naval guns were also accurately pouring shells in response to the timely calls of various attacking forces.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 531: Fierce Landing Battle

    Japanese soldiers died every moment, and this exhausting battle lasted for more than half an hour.  Under the combined firepower of the Chinese navy and air force, the Japanese, who suffered heavy casualties, finally failed to resist the Chinese troops from approaching the landing beach.  "Brothers! Charge!" A ** captain who was about 24 or 25 years old held an mg34 general-purpose machine gun in one hand and jumped into the waist-deep cold water. He shouted sharply and faced the Japanese troops in front.  Heavy fire was fired in the direction of the position.  Behind him, countless Chinese soldiers jumped off various ships like dumplings one after another, enduring the bone-gnawing cold water and charging forward.  "Long live China, long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang, kill!" The Japanese army's blocking fire on the beach was very intensive. He saw countless compatriots falling down. Captain **, who had been shot in the legs, waist, and arms, had red eyes.  Roaring loudly.  Still holding the mg34 general machine gun with both hands, he fired tenaciously.  Until several Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets shot into his body like a gust of wind, the general-purpose machine gun that had been roaring and killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers finally stopped.  Captain ** opened his eyes wide, hugged the general machine gun, and fell backwards.  Behind him, soldiers swarmed ashore, and the soldiers who followed the charge came one after another. Soon someone picked up his general machine gun and continued to charge forward.  The most heroic ones were the flag-bearers who landed with Captain **. When the first flag-bearer jumped out of the landing craft, holding a blue sky and white Japanese flag high in his hand, he was unfortunately hit by a bullet fired by a Japanese rifleman. He was killed on the spot.  sacrifice.  The comrades around him did not care about sacrificing his comrade's body and let him be washed away by the sea. Instead, he grabbed the flag that was about to fall.  He struggled to lift it up and continued to lead the charge forward.  Along the way, the flag bearers fell one after another, but that flag represents the supreme glory of the military.  The blue sky and white sun flag of morale and hope is flying high on the Japanese soldiers' position.  It provided the most obvious guidance and strong self-confidence to countless ** soldiers who followed up.  The moment Captain ** fell, the military flag was plunged into the beach by the last flag bearer before his death.  The young flag-bearer held the military flag tightly with both hands and sacrificed his life while half-kneeling.  Soon, a rifleman who was swarming from behind threw away the Garand rifle in his hand, pulled out the flag with both hands, held it high and led the troops to rush forward.  A violent explosion broke out in the crowd, and the raging shrapnel killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were charging desperately to bloody pieces on the spot.  A soldier wearing glasses was hit by shrapnel in the abdomen, blood flowed across the face, and the severe pain caused his originally young and handsome face to become painfully distorted.  A comrade dragged him to a crater and then jumped out of the crater to continue charging.  Witnessing countless comrades rushing past him.  The superior soldier adjusted his glasses, forced himself on and used all his strength to sing: "Don't you see me, the army of the Han Dynasty is over, the weak-crested prisoners please grow their tassels, don't you see me, the class is far away, the Jueyu Qingqi urges the war cloud! " The man should be  How can we let the Confucian scholars miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are constantly competing!  Join the army and clean up the dust. I swear to wipe out the Japanese slaves regardless of my own safety" Under the leadership of the superior soldier, more and more charging soldiers passing by him began to sing.  They sang war songs loudly, braved the enemy's artillery fire, and braved the hail of bullets without fear of death.  One after another, they launched attacks on the Japanese defense line.  When the loud singing almost suppressed the violent explosion and resounded through the sky, the superior soldier slowly closed his eyes and shed two lines of clear tears.  A violent explosion sounded nearby, and the superior soldier tilted his head and died, a heroic sacrifice for his country.  After paying heavy casualties, the Japanese soldiers chanting war songs finally rushed to the Japanese position.  The first one to rush up was a second lieutenant platoon leader holding the flag. He had just jumped over the first Japanese trench when he was hit by a bullet in the forehead. At the last moment when his consciousness was swallowed by darkness, his right hand  He tried his best to insert the already tattered military flag into the ground.  The whole person just stood there holding on to the flagpole and would not fall down until death.  Countless Japanese soldiers rushed to the Japanese positions like a tide, and with full fury, they launched an overwhelming and rapid charge deep into the Japanese positions.  The Japanese rear reinforcements also arrived in spite of explosions and air strikes. They wore white cloths on their heads and shouted slogans and launched a counterattack against the Chinese offensive troops.  The two sides faced each other like two torrents.??, resulting in violent bloody waves.  Both sides were shooting while approaching quickly. After taking a certain amount of casualties, they finally collided hard and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle.  A Japanese colonel wearing a samurai cloth on his head, with a ferocious face and waving a saber, personally led the troops into battle. The samurai sword in his hand slashed left and right. None of the Japanese riflemen he fought with were his opponents, and they died heroically.  Seeing this, a Japanese lieutenant colonel picked up a ghost-headed machete and intercepted the Japanese commander who was already red-eyed.  This ** lieutenant colonel is from the former Northwest Army. He has excellent swordsmanship, is tall and has long arms, and is burly and majestic.  His appearance made the Japanese colonel obviously startled, but the old Japanese was just stunned for a moment, then he held his saber in both hands and rushed towards Lieutenant Colonel ** with a strange scream.  Lieutenant Colonel ** swung the ghost-headed machete in his hand and faced him without any fear.  With a slap-free hard knock, the Japanese commander was shaken by the huge force and took two steps back.  Then he became angry and rushed forward again with his saber in hand.  Lieutenant Colonel ** snorted coldly, wielding the knife with one hand and speeding up, suddenly spinning his body and jumping up. With the help of the power of rotation, the machete in his hand slashed hard at the head of the Japanese colonel.  The Japanese commander was shocked when he saw this, and quickly raised his katana to block.  "Bang!" There was a loud noise, and under the huge impact, the ghost head machete, whose steel mouth was not as good as the Japanese samurai sword, directly split the Japanese colonel and his sword in half.  ** After the Lieutenant Colonel split this devil, he did not hesitate. He held a big machete with one hand and rushed to the right. It was invincible, and soon he chopped six or seven ghost infantry.  This fierce hand-to-hand combat lasted for nearly an hour. As more and more Chinese troops successfully landed, the Japanese who suffered heavy losses began to be forced to retreat.  Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers took advantage of the situation to pursue and expand the landing site. Air Force fighter planes were also doing their best to conduct air strikes against the continuous reinforcements coming from the rear of the Japanese army.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 532: The bloody battle for the beach

    While about 200,000 Japanese troops stormed Honshu Island from the Kanmon Strait, another group of Japanese troops also launched an attack on Shikoku Island from the southeastern coast of Kyushu Island with the assistance of the navy.  Kyushu Island is the closest to Shikoku Island from the Saga Seki Peninsula in Oita Prefecture.  Facing it across the sea is the Sayama Cape Peninsula on Shikoku Island.  Located at the southernmost tip of the Sayama Cape Peninsula, the Sayama Cape Beach is under intense three-dimensional joint firepower from the air and sea by the Chinese ** team.  More than 20 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers, protected by more than 10 Zero fighters, cooperated with the Navy's five cruisers of over 5,000 tons to attack Cape Sayama, a long and narrow protruding coastal beach area less than three kilometers wide.  The most violent and intensive bombing.  This is a typical hilly island terrain. In addition to a 500-meter buffer beach near the seaside, north of the beach is a high slope lined with rocks.  The Japanese not only set up many minefields, barbed wire and other obstacles on the beach, but also built a large number of permanent defenses on high slopes.  For example, bunkers, fire bunkers, tunnels, etc.  As early as after the fall of Kyushu Island, Ishihara Kanji and other senior staff officials at the top of the Japanese base camp expected that sooner or later the Chinese Army would continue to attack.  Therefore, a large number of defense fortifications and various preparations to strengthen the defense lines have begun to be built along the coasts such as the Kanmon Strait on Honshu Island and the Sayama Cape Peninsula on Shikoku Island.  Under the strong firepower cover of the navy and air force, about 400 marines belonging to a battalion of the first ship of the Chinese Navy landed on the beach in the first batch.  At that time, in order to prevent accidental damage, Navy cruisers, gunboats, and Air Force fighters and bombers all extended their bombing targets to the rear of the Japanese army.  On the high slopes filled with gunpowder smoke and filled with flames, some surviving Japanese troops began to escape from large and small bunkers, with black muzzles protruding from the fire bunkers.  There were also Japanese soldiers who quickly emerged from the underground tunnels and entered the positions that were blown to pieces and filled with smoke and smoke.  "Brothers. Shikoku Island is right in front of you. Take the high ground in front and clear the obstacles for the follow-up troops. Long live the Chinese nation, long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang! Charge! Kill!" the Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Battalion Commander led the team.  When I go to the beach, I raise my arms and shout.  More than 400 officers and soldiers shouted in response and rushed forward on the beach filled with bomb craters.  Due to the bombing of air force and navy naval guns, the minefields and obstacles laid by the Japanese on the beach were almost completely destroyed.  It failed to stop the pace of the Japanese Marine Corps.     soon.  More than 400 marines wearing black and white military uniforms held high the battle flag and advanced for more than 300 meters.  At this time, we were less than two hundred meters away from the high ground behind the beach.  The thick gunpowder smoke that filled the high ground has been blown away by the sea breeze, and the Japanese military fortifications on the high ground that were blown to pieces can be vaguely seen.  Soon after, when they entered the 150-meter range, a Japanese machine gunner pulled the trigger in a Japanese bunker at the forefront.  “Thud, tug, tug…” A brand new Type 92 heavy machine gun let out a dull roar.  Dense bullets suddenly ejected from the bunker's shooting holes like tongues of flame.  The hot bullets roared, and the two top Marines at the head were caught off guard.  He was shot and fell down on the spot.  The flagpole of the battle flag also came out of the hand, and the blue sky and white sun flag fluttering in the wind fell down.  A soldier immediately rushed forward two steps, grabbed the flagpole in his hand again, and raised it.  At this time, intensive gunfire sounded on the high slope that had been completely silent just now.  “Thud, tug, tug…taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,” the unique gunshots of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the Taisho 11th-type light machine gun and a large number of Type 38 rifles were intertwined together, making people go numb.  Terrified.  A large number of bullets poured in in a cross formation like water, and a dozen Marine Corps officers who rushed to the front were unfortunately shot and sacrificed.  The lieutenant colonel battalion commander was obviously an elite veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. He immediately waved his hand and said: "Disperse and hide, the machine gunners immediately set up their machine guns, rocket launchers and grenade launchers to hit him hard, son of a bitch." "In addition,  Call the Navy gunboat and request artillery support. "Most of the Marines quickly dispersed and relied on the craters to avoid it, while the communications soldiers who followed the army began to contact the Navy gunboat.  The machine gunners, grenadiers, and rocket soldiers were covered and cooperated by their comrades.  Braving bullets and rain, they set up machine guns and artillery pieces.  The Japanese's light and heavy machine guns continued to roar, and Japanese soldiers were unfortunately shot and sacrificed.  After paying a huge price in casualties, the Marine Corps’ more than a dozen general-purpose machine guns andMore than twenty grenades and bazookas finally began to fight back.  The fierce firepower of the Japanese army was temporarily suppressed and weakened.  "Boom, boom, boom" Several artillery shells suddenly roared from the Japanese position on the high slope and landed on the beach, and violent explosions suddenly occurred.  Several Marine machine gunners who were firing wildly with machine guns to suppress the Japanese firepower were blown to pieces on the spot and died for their country.  Since then, Japanese soldiers have continued to shell the beach with grenades and mortars.  These cannons are hidden in the position, and because the terrain is condescending.  The Japanese Marines on the beach were at a disadvantage and could not effectively suppress fire, so they fell into great passivity.  Fortunately, this situation did not last long.  After receiving the call for help, the naval commander immediately ordered two small 1,000-ton gunboats to adjust their muzzles. Under the guidance of the Marines trapped on the beach, they accurately fired a rapid and violent salvo at the Japanese position.  More than a dozen rapid-fire cannons poured a large number of shells at the Japanese position on the high slope in a very short period of time. At this time, two Zero fighter jets also swooped in from behind the Japanese position.  Fired violently at the Japanese artillery that was shelling the Japanese positions.  Under the attack from both sides, an earth-shaking explosion came from the Japanese position, and the artillery shells that suppressed the Japanese Marines were temporarily stopped.  The thick smoke also obscured the sight of the light and heavy machine gunners in the Japanese bunkers.  Not missing the opportunity, the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander swarmed forward with more than 300 remaining subordinates.  ………… On the battlefield on the north shore of the Kanmon Strait, although the Japanese Air Force fighter planes tried their best to intercept and intercept, they also caused great casualties to a large number of Japanese reinforcements.  “However, these Japanese reinforcements who were not afraid of death finally rushed to the front line of the battle and started a fierce exchange of fire with the advancing Japanese landing troops.  After the two sides met individually and started a fierce battle, in order to prevent accidental damage, the Air Force could only suspend air strikes in this area and move the target to the rear of the Japanese position.  At this time, a group of landing transport ships sailed from the south bank to the north bank in time, transporting about fifty Panzer IV tanks ashore.  After these tanks landed, they immediately moved forward quickly.  Soon, they bypassed the Japanese position and appeared on the two wings of the Japanese army, which was trying its best to resist the attack of the Chinese army.  PS: There will be another chapter later, it will be released before twelve o'clock.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 533: Attack on Tokyo

    At this time, the Japanese army's original fortifications on the beach had basically been seized by the Japanese landing troops. In turn, they held on and opened fire on the Japanese reinforcements that came to block the attack.  In order to regain their position and block the momentum of the Chinese army's continued attack, the Japanese army continued to attack hard and suffered heavy casualties.  The sudden appearance of these fifty No. 4 tanks immediately caused immeasurable battle damage to the Japanese army.  Under the combined firepower of the intensive vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets and the astonishingly powerful explosive bombs, the Japanese troops who were caught off guard fell in pieces like wheat.  The main force of the Japanese infantry in the Japanese army's position jumped out one after another and launched a swift charge towards the Japanese army.  German submachine guns fired deadly tongues of flame, and countless dense bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers.  Being attacked from three sides, the Japanese army could not look at each other and was quickly defeated.  ** Butan cooperated and took advantage of the situation to pursue, killing the Japanese soldiers with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.  After more than three hours of bloody fighting, we finally captured the Shimonoseki Pier landing strip in the Kanmon Strait and seized a landing site that was 20 kilometers long and five kilometers wide.  The first batch of more than 50,000 landing troops advanced the offensive line of fire to the foot of Xiaguan City. The Japanese army set up a second-line defensive position here, and the two sides launched a desperate and bloody battle.  At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Japanese follow-up troops gathered near Kitakyushu Island began a large number of cross-sea landing operations.  …………… In Fukuoka County, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force’s Japanese Attack Force.  Stars will gather here, including Wang Yizhe, Xing Zhanqing, Bai Chongxi, Jiang Baili and other famous national government generals.  The headquarters is located in a conference room in the former Japanese prefectural government office building in Fukuoka Prefecture.  In addition to a giant combat map hanging on the wall, Wang Yizhe also ordered the staff to create a combat sandbox.  At this moment, Zhang Xinghan and the above-mentioned senior generals were gathered around the sand table to discuss the situation of the war.  On the sand table, the small blue and red flag representing the country and the white plaster flag representing the Japanese army are clearly distinguishable and densely covered.  "Commissioner, the forward troops have advanced to the outskirts of Xiaguan City, and the follow-up troops are rushing to land." While everyone was discussing, a communications adjutant came in and saluted Zhang Xinghan.  After Zhang Xinghan listened, he nodded slightly.  Asked Jiang Baili: "Baili, where is the Third Fleet now?" Jiang Baili quickly replied: "Commissioned, the Third Fleet sets out from the Taiwan Strait, passes through the Ryukyu Islands, and receives 100,000 stationed in Japan at Miyazaki Port on Kyushu Island.  After dispatching the elite troops, they headed north along the eastern seaboard of Japan. According to the report received half an hour ago, they should have passed Shikoku Island by now and are expected to arrive at the waters near Tokyo Bay tomorrow morning. "Zhang Xinghan asked again.  How is the progress of the war in that direction? " Wang Yizhe, who was responsible for direct remote control of the Shikoku Island landing campaign, quickly replied: "The first batch of landing troops has captured Sayama Cape and is attacking the hinterland of Sayama Cape Peninsula. In addition, the Air Force air raided the Hachimanhama and Uwajima areas.  Now that the first batch of landing troops have successfully landed, the naval fleet responsible for transporting and covering them can return to the Kunisaki Peninsula to pick up the second batch of landing troops to land from the Uwajima and Hachimanhama areas, striving to capture the southwestern part of Shikoku Island in one fell swoop.  Then move towards the hinterland of Shikoku Island and capture the entire island. "Well, very good. After capturing Shikoku Island, the troops can cross the sea from Tokushima, Takamatsu, Matsuyama and other places to attack Hiroshima, Kurao, Himeji, and even Osaka and other Honshu.  The strategic location along the coast of the island echoes our frontal attack on Honshu Island and speeds up the battle process." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction.  "Commissioner, according to the information obtained by the Secrecy Bureau, the American Pacific Fleet has arrived in the waters north of Japan. I am worried that if Tokyo is attacked. Will the Americans respond to the Japanese request and directly participate in an undeclared war? "  In that case, our third fleet will be in danger." Bai Chongxi looked at the sand table worriedly.  Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "Jiansheng, please don't worry. I have ordered the Navy's submarine forces to gather in full force in Tokyo Bay and the northern waters of Japan. The whereabouts of the U.S. Pacific Fleet are now basically under our control. Once they make any changes, our navy will  The wolves will immediately launch an attack and wipe them out cleanly and completely." After the development of the past two years.  With Zhang Xinghan's strong support, the underwater dragon force, which originally had only 80 submarines, has now grown to more than 250 submarines.  Such a powerful underwater force is enough to block the entire Japanese island and surrounding waters.  An increasingly powerful submarine force.  Also Zhang XinghanThe confidence lies in taking risks to attack Tokyo Bay.  If the Americans dare to join the war without declaring war, Zhang Xinghan will not hesitate to order the Chinese Navy's underwater submarine force to launch a fatal attack on its Pacific Fleet.  Even if they cannot be wiped out, they can be severely damaged and completely lose their combat capabilities.  "It will take at least two months until the American war machine is up and running and the warships and personnel are replenished.  For such a long time, Zhang Xinghan is absolutely confident that he can win Tokyo City and the most important cities in Japan on Honshu Island such as Osaka and Hiroshima.  “If we can capture Emperor Hirohito of Japan during the war, then maybe we can end the war early.  It should be mentioned that in order to capture Emperor Hirohito alive as much as possible, Zhang Xinghan urgently gathered the veterans of the former airborne troops who were temporarily incorporated into military academies in various places and the new students they trained.  Now the scale has reached two A-type regiments, and more than 5,000 airborne troops are all on standby at the Fukuoka Military Airport on Kyushu Island.  When needed most, they will carry out airborne raids on Tokyo to achieve the best results.  The Chinese navy, land and air force gathered on Kyushu Island were close to two million troops, but Zhang Xinghan used less than half a million for the first batch of attacks.  Except for the fact that the naval fleet currently does not have the ability to land millions of troops at once.  There are also reasons why Zhang Xinghan left behind heavy troops to deter the US military.  Of course, as a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan knows that attacking the Japanese mainland, especially Honshu Island, which is the largest and most populous island, is by no means a small-scale ordinary landing operation.  Rather, it may be a protracted and expendable offensive campaign of unprecedented scale.  As the front advances, the pressure it faces becomes greater, and the number of troops used for the attack must also increase.  If we launch a frontal attack on Kyushu Island and continue the attack city by city, Zhang Xinghan understands that judging from the character of the Japanese who have been brainwashed by Bushido, even if all of his more than 1.5 million troops are finally released on the island.  It may not be possible to win this war as quickly as possible.  Therefore, the key lies in the success of the battle plan to storm Tokyo City.  Tokyo City is not only the capital of Japan, but also the residence of all Japanese emperors. It is of extraordinary significance to all Japanese people.  Once the city of Tokyo is breached, even if Emperor Hirohito is not captured, the blow to the Japanese will be absolutely unprecedented.  As long as the Japanese people’s belief in resisting as a whole is defeated, it will be much easier to win this war.  "It turns out that you have made arrangements for the appointment, so I'm relieved." Bai Chongxi looked surprised and said respectfully.  "Everyone has been working hard here for most of the day. Now the troops are advancing smoothly. Everyone must be tired and hungry. I can just stay here. You all can go and have a rest." Wang Yizhe said.  Everyone looked at Zhang Xinghan, but no one expressed their opinion first.  Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and said: "Commander Wang is right. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go eat and rest. The war is important, but the body is the capital of the revolution. Let's go." "Yes!" Everyone stood up and saluted.  The show soon dispersed.  After everyone left, only Wang Yizhe, Jiang Baili and Guo Zhong, who was inseparable from Zhang Xinghan, were left in the headquarters.  After watching everyone leave, Zhang Xinghan said to Wang Yizhe: "Father-in-law, you can go and have a rest, as long as I'm here." Wang Yizhe felt warm in his heart, and quickly shook his head and said: "I'm not tired, but you and Brother Baili have to endure the long distance.  You are tired from the journey, go have a meal and have a good rest. I can just stay here." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "Come on, please don't refuse each other, I'm not tired yet.  I'll just keep an eye on you here. You all go to eat first." "Okay, don't be polite. The war is urgent. Let's not leave as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and turned to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi.  "Go and notify the kitchen and bring us the food. Let's eat here and discuss the situation of the war." "Yes." Guo Zhong quickly stood up and responded, then turned and left.  "This surprise attack on Tokyo is led by Wang Tiehan himself, so it must not be a big problem. After all, he has commanded the Kyushu Island landing battle before and is currently the most experienced general in our army's cross-sea operations and landing operations." Jiang Baili said.  Wang Yizhe also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, since the Kyushu Island landing battle, Tiehan has been training our troops stationed in Japan for a long time, and has carefully studied cross-sea landing operations. Coupled with the full support and cooperation of the submarine and air force,  It shouldn’t be a big problem.sp; The Japanese are different now. Since their naval fleet failed in the Battle of Tsushima Strait, the few surviving ships have been basically wiped out by our air force and submarine force in the past two years.  Therefore, they can’t even bring out a decent warship. If they want to withstand our joint three-dimensional fire attack of sea, land and air, they can only take human lives to do so.  " "We cannot be too optimistic. If the first batch of 100,000 landing troops cannot capture Tokyo City in the shortest time, then once Japanese reinforcements from Osaka and other places arrive.  The war is likely to fall into a stalemate, which would be very disadvantageous for us.  Therefore, the key is to see whether Wang Tiehan can end the battle before Japanese reinforcements arrive from other areas.  " Zhang Xinghan said. PS: This is the second update.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 534: Bloody Battle in Tokyo (1)

    The waters bordering the Seto Inland Sea and the southeastern coast of Japan are composed of hundreds of large and small warships from the Third Fleet of the National Revolutionary Army Navy and more than 2,000 large and small fishing boats and sailing ships collected from the coasts of Taiwan, Ryukyu, Penghu Islands, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.  The huge maritime fleet is riding the wind and waves.  “There are dozens of Chinese submarines and fighter planes in the sea and air twenty to thirty nautical miles away from them to provide them with all-round escort and cover.  More than two thousand large and small ships, carrying a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, shouldered the sacred mission of storming Tokyo and capturing Emperor Hirohito alive.  In order to be able to transport 100,000 army officers and marines at once to launch this strategic attack on Tokyo, the Nationalist Government collected almost all ships of all sizes along the southeast coast.  Fortunately, the owners of these ships and the tens of thousands of boatmen learned that their country's army was going to attack Little Japan. They all volunteered to participate, free of charge, and volunteered to steer the ships for Japan and transport soldiers to attack Little Japan.  Japan.  If a few small fishing boats go out to sea rashly and travel long distances across the sea, it is very dangerous.  But now there are more than two thousand large and small fishing boats traveling at the same time, taking care of each other. Although they are all full of people, they are extremely safe.  What's more, there are huge Japanese warships sailing with them outside them. Even if something happens to an individual ship, other ships can provide timely assistance.  As for underwater submarines, there are about twenty xxi submarines escorting them.  In this attack on Japan, more than 280 submarines were used. Except for the more than 20 submarines left in the South Pacific, the rest were all used in the Japanese campaign.  Twenty of the remaining 260 ships were ordered to escort Wang Tiehan's landing force, and the rest were all cruising in the northeastern waters of Japan to defend against the American Pacific Fleet.  Because the Japanese navy and air force were almost completely lost, they lost air and sea control, coupled with the tight blockade of the Chinese navy, air force and submarine force.  So the Japanese have no idea that such a huge naval fleet is advancing towards Tokyo in their offshore waters.  The attention and eyes of all Japanese troops and citizens were drawn to the front lines of Honshu Island and Shikoku Island, which were fighting fiercely with the Chinese army.  ………… Tokyo City.  Japanese Imperial Palace.  Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, two good friends, were reporting the war situation to Emperor Hirohito with solemn expressions.  "Your Majesty, in the direction of Shikoku Island, the Chinese people have captured the Sayama Cape Peninsula and are advancing towards the Hachimanhama area. In the direction of Honshu Island, the imperial army is fighting bloody battles and has successfully blocked the Chinese people in Shimonoseki City. However, the Chinese people have occupied  The absolute superiority of the navy and air force. The imperial army suffered heavy casualties from the indiscriminate bombings every day," Itagaki Seishiro said with his head lowered with a guilty look on his face.  Emperor Hirohito’s face turned blue and purple, which was very ugly.  After a long time, he looked at Ishihara Wanji and asked: "Ishihara-kun, will the Americans participate in the war?" Ishihara Wanji quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Americans do not agree to participate in this war between us and the Chinese people.  In the war, they are unwilling to shed blood and sacrifice to defend our homeland." Upon hearing this, Emperor Hirohito gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bagaya Road, hateful and despicable Americans!" Ishihara Wanji continued: "But Your Majesty.  Mr. Roosevelt, the President of the United States, once revealed to our ambassador through his personal secretary that he himself is willing to fulfill the alliance agreement signed with us. Now he has ordered Americans to move to the Pacific on the grounds of protecting American companies and expatriates in Japan.  The fleet is heading to the vicinity of our country's waters. As long as there is an opportunity, he will immediately declare war on the Chinese and order the Pacific Navy Combined Fleet to directly intervene in the war. As long as they participate in the war, they can definitely seize air and sea supremacy.  Cut off the connection between the Chinese troops who landed on the island and the rear. Then we can wipe out all the Chinese troops who landed on the island, and it will be absolutely possible to regain Kyushu Island. "Is that so? What kind of opportunity do the Americans need?"  Find a way to create such an opportunity as soon as possible?" Emperor Hirohito asked eagerly after hearing this.  Ishihara smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this opportunity is beyond our control. Everything depends on the Americans. If they intend to provoke, then a war will definitely break out between them and the Chinese." Emperor Hirohito seemed to understand but not understand.  He nodded, and after giving instructions to Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro, he drove back to the palace to find his queen.  …………… On the battleship Huo Qubing, this time the headquarters of the attack on Tokyo was launched.Commander Wang Tiehan, accompanied by a group of adjutants and staff, was standing on the deck holding a telescope and looking at the endless waves of the sea.  "General, the Chairman is calling." A communications staff officer held a message in his hand.  He climbed onto the deck and saluted Wang Tiehan.  "Read it," Wang Tiehan ordered without looking back.  "The Chairman of the Generalissimo ordered that the success of this attack on Tokyo mainly depends on whether after the successful landing on the beach, troops can be quickly dispatched to encircle the entire Tokyo city and cut off its contact with the outside world. I hope Commander Wang will consider it carefully. In addition,  , when your troops launch an attack on Tokyo, I will send two airborne regiments to assist you in encircling Tokyo and blocking Japanese reinforcements that may be heading for Tokyo. The Battle of Tokyo is related to the overall strategy and the lives and deaths of millions of Japanese soldiers.  The 100,000 soldiers who went out on this expedition were determined to fight to the death, to win glory for the country, to be loyal to the nation, and to capture the city of Tokyo in one fell swoop! Long live the heroic Chinese nation! " Wang Tiehan listened!  After finishing, he turned around and said to the adjutants and staff behind him: "You must have heard the chairman's telegram, right? I, Wang Tiehan, am a rough man and I don't know how to speak politely and lead like the committee member."  To be polite, I just want to say that we have no retreat in this attack on Tokyo City. If we cannot take Tokyo City, everyone will die in battle. Therefore, it is a unique feat to take Tokyo City and establish immortality for 40,000 nations.  The pride of man is still thrown into the sea like a duck, and he is buried in the belly of the fish. " "If we don't succeed, we will fight to the end! We will fight to the death and capture Emperor Hirohito!"  If you don’t succeed, fight to the end! Fight to the death and capture Emperor Hirohito!” “If you don’t succeed, fight to the end! Fight to the death to capture Emperor Hirohito!” The adjutants and staff present followed suit!  They shouted their determination in unison.  Wang Tiehan nodded with satisfaction and took the lead to leave the deck and walk towards the command post below.  PS: Just the first update today, the fourth update tomorrow.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 535: Bloody Battle in Tokyo (2)

    Tokyo Bay is located in the Kanto region of Japan. It is named after it borders Tokyo, the capital of Japan. It was called Edo Bay in ancient times.  It is the outlet of the central and eastern part of Japan's Honshu Island along the Pacific Ocean.  The important cities along the northwest shore of Tokyo Bay include Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kawasaki. Yokosuka is in the west, Chiba City is in the east, and is surrounded by the two peninsulas Miura (west) and Bosso (east) in the south. Only a small opening is left, with Uraga  The waterway enters the Pacific Ocean.  On December 6, the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, after a day of long-distance sailing, the Chinese Navy’s Third Fleet and one hundred thousand elite army troops finally arrived about 40 to 50 nautical miles outside the outlet of Tokyo Bay.  Since there are Chinese navy submarine forces cruising and sweeping the waters along the coast of the Japanese islands, there is not even a single Japanese ship on the sea at this moment.  Under the unrestricted and indiscriminate attacks by the Chinese navy's underwater wolves, any Japanese ship that dared to go out to sea, whether military or civilian, was killed.  In a combat command room of the battleship Huo Qubing, Wang Tiehan ordered with high spirits: "Send a message to the Chairman of the Generalissimo immediately. Our unit has arrived at the predetermined position and can launch an attack at any time. Please send the Air Force to assist in the cover immediately!" A communications staff officer quickly  Write it down, turn around and take the order and leave quickly.  Kyushu Island, Fukuoka, Japanese Attack Headquarters.  A communications soldier held a message and hurried from the confidential room to the war room where Zhang Xinghan and others were. He saluted Zhang Xinghan who was discussing military situation with Jiang Baili and others in front of the map and reported: "Commissioned, the Third Fleet of the Navy is in place.  Request air force assistance!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan exchanged glances with Jiang Baili and others, and said excitedly: "Order all standby fighters on Kyushu Island to take off immediately and conduct air strikes on all regional cities on both sides of Dongjiang Bay, including Tokyo City.  The 2nd Airborne Regiment also set off immediately, parachuted into Tokyo City, and cooperated with the landing force of the Third Fleet to encircle Tokyo and capture Emperor Hirohito alive! "" Then order all our combat troops on the Shikoku Island and Shimonoseki front lines to attack immediately.  Launch the most violent offensive against the Japanese army in response to the Third Fleet's surprise attack on Tokyo!" "Yes!" the communications soldier responded loudly, turned around and left quickly.  “In the past two years, in order to meet the needs of future wars against Japan, Zhang Xinghan instructed Wang Yizhe to build seven or eight military airports of various sizes on Kyushu Island.  At this time, all these airports were put into use, and nearly two thousand aircraft of various types were stationed at each airport.  Except for some used in the battles on Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, most of the Air Force fighters and bombers are waiting at the airport.  Waiting for orders.  When Zhang Xinghan’s order reached various airports through radio waves, thousands of Zero fighters, BF109 fighters, Stu dive bombers, and B-17 Flying Fortress bombers took off one after another.  Three huge mixed fleets formed in the sky, roaring toward Tokyo and the nearby airspace like they were covering the sky.  On the battleship Huo Qubing, the communications staff returned and reported to Wang Tiehan: "Commander-in-Chief, Chairman of the Standing Committee called back. The air force has all taken off and is on its way. Your troops can launch an attack immediately." Wang Tiehan nodded.  Said: "Okay, give the order immediately and concentrate the firepower to attack Tokyo City!" Wang Tiehan gave the order, and the battleship group of the Navy's Third Fleet, which had been prepared for a long time, began to take action.  The first batch of fifteen destroyers of about 5,000 tons and five cruisers of 10,000 tons began to serve as pioneers.  First advance into Tokyo Bay.  Followed by a large number of landing transport ships, these transport ships carried a large number of army landing troops and tanks and combat vehicles.  They will be the first batch of landing troops to carry out beach landings under the full firepower cover of the Navy's Third Fleet. Once they land.  After the landing site is expanded, the main force of the follow-up army on fishing boats and other civilian vessels will continue to follow.  At this point, the submarine force has lost its usefulness.  He stayed to provide protection for the main force that followed.  Hundreds of naval warships and transport ships rode the wind and waves and soon entered Tokyo Bay. At this time, the Japanese troops on both sides of the strait finally discovered the sudden change.  The Japanese garrisons on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suddenly panicked, and various sirens rang through the sky.  The Japanese coast guard troops quickly entered the position, controlled various artillery and began to fire in an attempt to block the huge Chinese fleet from entering the bay.  But soon they were met with fierce salvoes of firepower from the Third Fleet's cruisers and large and small gunboats. Only two rounds of firepower covered them. Several important Japanese forts at the entrances to both sides of Dongjiang Bay were destroyed by large-caliber naval gun shells.  Almost exhausted.  The battleship Huo Qubing arrived later. Wang Tiehan ordered the destroyers and cruiser groups to continue moving forward, clearing obstacles for the first batch of landing troops as soon as possible, and commanded by himself.The largest battleship in the world today began to use its fierce and powerful artillery fire to eliminate the Japanese firepower points on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.  After receiving the order, the vanguard destroyers and cruisers immediately launched the hundreds of small minesweepers equipped with the ship, and they cleared the mines in front to clear the way. The destroyers and cruisers continued to fire at any blocking fire points that might be encountered on both sides of the strait.  Escorting the landing ship group towards Tokyo.  …………In Tokyo City, the Imperial Palace of Japan.  Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro hurriedly walked into Emperor Hirohito's palace together.  The guards blocking the way were pushed away by them.  A chamberlain had already gone ahead to report that Emperor Hirohito was having sex passionately with Empress Ryoko.  Emperor Hirohito did not know the truth and thought that Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro were going to rebel. He turned pale with fright, put on his clothes in a panic, and ordered his personal servant to stop Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro.  "Two generals, Your Majesty is resting with Her Majesty the Queen. What do you want to do when you are so rampant?" The chamberlain stopped the two men and shouted loudly.  Itagaki Seishiro looked at each other angrily and said loudly: "The Shina people are sneaking up on Tokyo Bay. They will arrive in an instant. Get out of the way immediately, otherwise we will kill them on the spot!" When the chamberlain heard this, he was shocked and stood on the spot. His lips could not help but tremble.  The Chinese actually came to Tokyo?  This, how is this possible?  Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro ignored him, bypassed him, and walked straight towards the palace bedroom.  Emperor Hirohito had heard the news from outside, put on his clothes, and walked out calmly.  As soon as they met, Itagaki Seishiro ignored the salute and urged: "Your Majesty, the combined Chinese navy fleet suddenly appeared in Tokyo Bay. Tokyo is in danger. Please evacuate with the queen as soon as possible!" "Itagaki-kun, is this true?  "Emperor Hirohito was shocked, and his expression changed drastically.  Ishihara Wanji rushed to answer: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. The Chiba Island Guards just called. A large number of warships from the Chinese naval fleet have breached the entrance of Tokyo Bay. The situation is critical. Just in case, Weichen and others suggest  Your Majesty, please evacuate Tokyo as soon as possible.” PS: There will be three updates later.  (To be continued)

    Unlike Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro who looked anxious and worried.  After Emperor Hirohito confirmed the authenticity of the matter from Ishihara Wanji, he became surprisingly calm.  The surprised look on his face at first disappeared, and he lowered his head as if thinking about something.  Itagaki Seishiro was sweating profusely and urged: "Your Majesty, what are you still hesitating about? You are the spiritual pillar of the entire Yamato nation. Regardless of whether Tokyo City can be defended or not, you must evacuate. It is too dangerous here. Change  In other words, even if the city of Tokyo falls, as long as His Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound, our Empire of Japan will still have hope, and all the people of Yamato and the Imperial Army soldiers can continue to fight against the Chinese people. Therefore, for the sake of the Yamato nation, for the  The Imperial Japanese Army implores Your Majesty to evacuate Tokyo City immediately!" Ishihara Wanji nodded and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Itagaki-kun said is very reasonable. Please inform the Queen, princes and princesses to pack up and prepare to evacuate!  Well, I have already informed the Guards Division before coming here, and they can protect His Majesty from evacuating Tokyo at any time." Emperor Hirohito slowly raised his head, looked at the two loyal ministers with anxious faces, and said seriously: "Two.  My dear, do you think I can really evacuate Tokyo at this time?" The two looked at each other in confusion.  Emperor Hirohito continued: "As Itagaki-kun said, I am the king of a country and the spiritual sustenance of hundreds of millions of Yamato people and soldiers. The city of Tokyo is also the capital of our Empire of Japan. Once it falls, it will have a huge impact.  , it is extremely detrimental to the morale of our hundreds of millions of Yamato people and millions of loyal and brave soldiers. If I stay, Tokyo City may be able to hold on. If I really evacuate, then Tokyo City may really have to do so.  I can't hold on anymore. " "But" Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro looked horrified, but at the same time they were a little excited and admired.  "Okay. My dear friends, you don't need to persuade me any more. I have made up my mind. I am determined to lead all the Yamato people in Tokyo City and the warriors of the Imperial Army to fight to the death with the Chinese people. I will fight to the last soldier.  The king of subjugation!" Emperor Hirohito interrupted the two men's persuasion resolutely.  Their eyes were full of shock and excitement, and they quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried: "Long live my emperor, I am willing to follow you to the death and fight to the death with the Chinese!" "Ishihara-kun. Itagaki-kun, this time the battle for Tokyo will be over.  I leave the full responsibility to you two, and all the divisions across the country are at your disposal. I hope you and others will live up to my trust, repel the powerful enemy, and protect the sacred capital of the Japanese Empire!" Emperor Hirohito said in a sincere tone.  The two kowtowed again and cried: "Your Majesty, please put it down. I will go all out to defend Tokyo City and His Majesty the Emperor Ri'an to the death."  After coming out of the palace, Ishihara Wanji said to his colleagues with a heavy heart.  Itagaki Seishiro said: "Your Majesty insists on staying in Tokyo. Although it can greatly boost the morale of the army and the people, but now the main force of the empire is basically deployed on the front line, and Tokyo's garrison strength is very empty. The Chinese people must be well prepared for this attack. This battle will be  An extremely tragic battle! " Itagaki Seishiro has returned to his usual calmness. His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to retreat to the death, and he is very encouraged.  He immediately said: "Ishihara-kun, in addition to the Guards Division, there are also a large number of military police police units in Tokyo City. We should organize them all and deploy defenses along the coastline. Of course. These troops alone are not enough. We also have  The garrisons in the military districts around Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba and other places should be ordered as soon as possible to immediately reinforce Tokyo City. Then Nagoya, Sendai and other places should be ordered to quickly form their own reserve forces, rush to Tokyo for reinforcements, and concentrate all the forces they can.  Fight to the death with the Chinese in Tokyo Bay. " Ishihara Wanji nodded and added: "In addition to these, we should also strictly order reinforcements from various places not to leak news, and strictly block the news of the Chinese attack on Tokyo, otherwise once it reaches the front line, it will be inevitable.  It will cause the morale of all our troops on the frontal battlefield to collapse, leading to unpredictable catastrophic consequences." "Just do it," Itagaki Seishiro said.  …………… The earth-shattering sound of artillery in Tokyo Bay has alarmed cities on both sides of the strait, including Tokyo City, and the Japanese in the city have fallen into extreme panic.  In Tokyo Bay, with the efficient work of minesweepers, the attack fleet of the Third Fleet has advanced more than 20 nautical miles in less than two hours, and the city of Tokyo is already in sight.  And here, the Japanese mine density began to increase, and the advancement speed began to be hindered.  Tokyo city inner cityAll the garrisons, military, police and military police in the country began to be busy urgently, and drove in groups to set up defenses along the coastal defense lines in Jiangdong, Pu'an, Shinagawa and other places.  The local garrisons in Kawasaki and Chiba adjacent to Tokyo have also entered a state of emergency.  At this moment, a large number of Chinese fighter planes came from high altitudes south of Tokyo Bay, blocking out the sky and the sun.  After entering the airspace near Tokyo Bay, about a thousand fighters and bombers divided into three groups and attacked Tokyo, Kawasaki and Chiba respectively.  Within a few minutes, the piercing and urgent air defense siren sounded over the entire Tokyo Bay area.  The intensive Japanese anti-aircraft firepower also roared, and the sound of thunder seemed to be everywhere in the sky.  However, violent explosions soon came one after another on the ground. At the explosion sites, mushroom clouds of unprecedented scale rose into the sky accompanied by fierce fire.  That was the masterpiece of the Chinese Air Force’s Flying Fortress bomber group.  Although the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower seems fierce, it cannot withstand the constant attacks of Chinese fighter jets like locusts.  Although some Chinese fighter planes were unfortunately shot down during the fierce battle, the Japanese air defense forces suffered even more heavy losses.  Especially the precise surgical dive bombing of nearly three hundred Stukas, which has become a nightmare for the Japanese air defense forces.  While the Air Force was engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese air defense forces, the minesweeper force of the Navy's Third Fleet finally cleared the way forward for the attacking forces after paying a lot of casualties.  Dozens of destroyers, cruisers and a large number of gunboats began to launch fierce naval bombardment on the three landing ports.  Some Air Force Stuka dive bombers also came along to drop bombs from the air.  After about half an hour of intense firepower, hundreds of landing ships began to transport more than 20,000 elite troops for beach landing.  The first exchange of fire occurred in the Koto area of ??Tokyo City, which guards the east gate of Tokyo.  Although the Chinese naval gun group and part of the air force carried out surgical precision strikes on the Japanese positions here, after all, this is the home base of the Japanese for many years.  They built many strong permanent defenses and some secret tunnels, allowing them to survive such a heavy fire coverage.  About two companies of ** first jumped into the knee-deep seawater. While the follow-up troops were still advancing, they took the lead and rushed towards the beach shore full of incomplete barbed wire and antlers.  But soon, headache-inducing gunshots and even the shelling of many small-caliber artillery could be heard from the shattered Japanese positions.  The dense bullets and falling artillery shells from time to time caused a lot of casualties to the landing troops of these two companies.  “However, the surviving Japanese soldiers were not deterred by this, and rushed forward desperately despite the heavy Japanese firepower.  People continued to be shot and fell on the road of charge, and soon the two companies were almost wiped out with casualties. However, at this time, a large number of gunmen had landed one after another, and accompanying them were armored and ferocious huge tanks.  Panzer IV.  When the No. 4 tanks roared toward the Japanese positions with green smoke, the Japanese's intensive firepower immediately hit them with a series of dense sparks.  Fierce battles also broke out at the other two landing points. As tank troops landed one after another, the Japanese were gradually breaking through the Japanese positions with an unstoppable momentum.  Although the Japanese resisted desperately, they were unable to compete with the Chinese troops who had land, sea, air force and ground armor forces cooperating to cover the attack. They could only watch their defensive positions being broken through bit by bit.  After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the 20,000-strong Japanese landing force, one of the most elite troops of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, finally seized large Japanese defensive positions at the three landing points of Kodong, Pu'an, and Shinagawa.  A large landing field has been developed.  And in the past hour or so, the Air Force, after a hard battle, finally basically wiped out the Japanese air defense forces in the Tokyo area.  Now you can free up your hands to support the landing troops.  No, the Japanese Guards Division, which had just lost its most forward coastal defense position, immediately launched a massive counterattack in the above three areas under the personal command of Itagaki Seishiro.  Twenty thousand elite Japanese troops relied on the super firepower of tank troops and naval gun groups to fight hard.  When the two sides were in a stalemate, a large number of air force fighters gathered from various airspaces in Tokyo.  It dealt a fatal blow to the Japanese army that was launching a counterattack. The Guards Division, which suffered heavy casualties, had to stop the counterattack and retreat.  Twenty thousand elite troops immediately took advantage of the situation with tanks and armored vehicles as the vanguard, taking advantage of the situation across the board.Attacked and launched a counterattack against Japan.  Air Force Zero fighters and Stuka bombers also coordinated with ground forces to launch air strikes against the retreating Japanese troops.  It caused extremely heavy casualties to the Japanese. There were flames and thick smoke everywhere outside Tokyo, and the sounds of explosions, gunfire, and shouts of killing were endless.  After Wang Tiehan learned of the situation, he immediately ordered the remaining 80,000 elite army troops and a large number of elite marines to start subsequent landings.  From a high altitude bird's-eye view, you can clearly see the extremely spectacular scene in Tokyo Bay, which is not very wide.  Thousands of sails marched forward, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops rushed ashore like a colony of ants.  (To be continued)

    In Tokyo City, the Japanese base camp and the headquarters of this Tokyo defense war.  At this time, the sounds of gunfire, explosions and shouts of killing outside the city were getting closer and closer.  With the continuous changes in the war outside the city, the Chinese Air Force has begun to gradually shift the focus of bombing raids from outside the city to inside the city.  Therefore, the Japanese command headquarters has now been moved to the base camp’s own underground air defense bunker.  Although there was electricity in the basement, and a few yellow light bulbs emitted not very bright light, whether it was Ishihara Wanji, Itagaki Seishiro, or the former navy and army ministers present, their expressions were extremely heavy.  Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was still extremely dull.  From time to time, Japanese military communications personnel would hold messages and report the latest battle situation outside to Ishihara Kanji and others.  But without exception, every battle report is bad news.  "Ishihara-kun, we only have one Guards Division in Tokyo, and we have no air or sea control. It is simply not enough to withstand the Chinese attack. If this continues, the city of Tokyo will definitely fall. I say we should persuade His Majesty the Emperor to evacuate Tokyo as soon as possible.  "The one who spoke was a Navy Minister. Since the Navy was completely wiped out in the Battle of Tsushima Strait, the Navy has existed in name only.  The ministers of the Navy and senior generals have lost power in Japan’s high-level power circles. Now, young people such as Kanji Ishihara and Seishiro Itagaki are in control.  Therefore, he is very careful when speaking, which is thousands of miles away from the arrogant and arrogant attitude of the Minister of the Navy before.  Ishihara Wanji glanced at him expressionlessly, and the Navy Minister lowered his head timidly, not even daring to look at him.  "His Majesty the Emperor has an order. No one is allowed to retreat lightly. Anyone who disobeys the order will be regarded as treason and will be executed on the spot! All the Emperor's subjects should be determined to fight the Chinese people to the end and defend Tokyo City and the Imperial Palace to the death!" Ishihara Wan  Er said coldly.  The Lord of the Admiralty was trembling with fear.  His face was pale and he lowered his head without saying a word.  Ishihara smiled and said to Itagaki Seishiro: "Itagaki-kun, is the city ready?" "It's almost ready. As long as there is a Yamato citizen, the Shina people will never even think about invading Tokyo City." Itagaki Seishiro said.  "Very good, the reserve forces of the Nagoya and Sendai military districts have begun to gather urgently. As long as we can persist for two days, they and the reinforcements near Tokyo will arrive." Ishihara smiled and said encouragingly: "I hope everyone can  Following the example of His Majesty the Emperor, we will fight until the end. The life and death of the Yamato nation depends on this battle. "" Soon, the Guards Division suffered heavy casualties.  Forced to retreat into the city, relying on the city wall with the help of the Japanese people in the city, veterans, military police, and military police, they continued to resist the attack of the Chinese Communist Party.  At this time, basically all the 100,000 troops have landed ashore and began to seize large areas in the east, south, and north directions of Tokyo City in order to cut off Tokyo City's connection with the outside world and completely surround it.  Just when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing.  Then two transport aircraft groups, currently the only and most elite airborne regiment of the Chinese Air Force, arrived.  Based on the current war situation in Tokyo City, they chose the airborne location in an area about ten kilometers west of Tokyo City.  As the huge rumbles of transport planes roared through the sky, countless umbrella flowers began to appear in the sky.  More than 5,000 Chinese airborne troops embarked on a historic jump.  In addition to the main city of Tokyo, there are also a large number of Japanese villages and towns gathered around the city.  In addition to the more than 20,000 elite troops of the Third Fleet's landing force, they are storming Tokyo from the east.  Most of them are interspersed in the north and south directions to encircle Tokyo City.  "However, all the roundabout troops encountered strong resistance from locals in towns and villages in the Tokyo area.  Japanese retired soldiers, military police and other armed personnel in these places organized local Japanese civilians, relying on the complex terrain.  Continuous surprise attacks were launched against the intersecting troops of the Chinese Army.  Caused a lot of casualties to the Chinese ** team.  More than two hours have passed, and the intersecting troops are still making slow progress and have not yet reached their intended position.  The battle situation was quickly reported back to the battleship Huo Qubing.  An adjutant said to Wang Tiehan with a frown on his face: "Commander-in-Chief, the little Japs are all soldiers. Our troops intersecting on the left and right wings have been subjected to extremely violent attacks of all kinds. The Japanese have used all kinds of attack methods.  Our army's progress is extremely slow, and according to the information obtained by the Air Force reconnaissance, the remaining Japanese troops in Chiba, Yokohama, Kawasaki and other places are attacking Tokyo City.Close.  Once they get involved, the pressure we face will be even greater.  Now frontline commanders at all levels are calling to ask for instructions whether they can go on a killing spree in order to pass through as quickly as possible and reach the predetermined location.  " Wang Tiehan had a gloomy face. He understood what the adjutant meant by the mass killing, and naturally knew that once he nodded his head. " As the war progresses, it is likely to turn into a massacre of unprecedented scale.  Once the soldiers became red-blooded in the end, it would be impossible to stop them even if they wanted to. After thinking about it, Wang Tiehan asked: "By the way, where are the two airborne regiments that the commissioner agreed to send now?  "The adjutant quickly replied: "We received news half an hour ago that the airborne troops have successfully conducted an airborne landing within ten kilometers west of Tokyo and are currently gathering.  " Wang Tiehan nodded and fell into deep thought. He asked the adjutant for a cigarette, lit it and started smoking. He started to smoke and pace back and forth. After a long time, Wang Tiehan seemed to have made up his mind and took a final puff of cigarette.  He put out the cigarette butt and said with a sinister expression: "Tell all the attacking troops to complete the sacred mission of capturing Tokyo, capturing the Emperor of Japan alive, and averting the humiliation of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years.  From now on, anyone who appears within the range of my attacking troops will be shot and killed, regardless of humans or animals!  " The adjutant couldn't help but shuddered, and said hesitantly: "Commander-in-Chief, this is this a bit in case we are investigated later.  " "Stop it, there's no hesitation, I'll take the blame for any blame in the future, I'll take the blame for any crime, let all the troops let me go and fuck those naughty little devils hard!  Why, the little devils are only allowed to burn, kill and loot in our land, but we are not allowed to take revenge?  What's more, they are not unarmed and docile people, but armed men determined to kill us.  We are carrying out indiscriminate elimination based on the principle of self-defense!  "    "yes!  "The adjutant suddenly stood up and agreed, then turned around and strode away to accept the order. "" In a village about five kilometers southeast of Tokyo, a battalion of Japanese soldiers pursued smoothly under the cover of several tanks.  A group of Japanese Guards Division soldiers arrived here. The few Japanese soldiers who were killed or injured fled into the village and disappeared for a while. However, when they entered the village to search and suppress them, the soldiers of this battalion were attacked by the villagers.  The attack by Japanese civilians injured several brave soldiers. These Japanese civilians were armed with various swords, guns, sticks, and even crossbows and guns, and they blocked the entrance of the village fiercely. The battalion commander led by the Lieutenant Colonel Longxing Military Academy.  A graduate of the third phase was walking back and forth next to a No. 4 tank with a frown on his face. He had already sent a request for instructions to Shangfeng, but he had not received any reply. This made him anxious.  The young battalion commander of the military academy, almost all the Japanese in this village were armed, including the elderly, women, and even children. Due to humanitarian reasons, the young battalion commander did not dare to rashly order to fire, but the Japanese blocked their advance.  Road. It was obvious that they had been encouraged by the few regular soldiers who had fled here, and they were planning to risk their lives to stop the Chinese troops. In this way, they were forced to stop their advance and confront the Japanese.  When the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander was about to lose control and wanted to order an attack at all costs to kill the damn Japanese, the communications soldier from the battalion headquarters ran over in a panic with a marching radio on his back, stood up and saluted him: "  Camp, camp, division headquarters has called back!  " "Oh, what did the teacher say?  "The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander asked impatiently. "The division headquarters has forwarded an order from the commander-in-chief. The order is as follows. In order to complete the sacred mission of capturing Tokyo, from now on, our attack troops can attack anyone who appears in Tokyo.  Fire at all targets within the range of our army. Wherever our army goes, no humans or animals will be left in any area that dares to resist!  " The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked uncertainly: "Does this mean that we can open fire without distinction or restriction?  "The communication soldier scratched his head and said: "It should be like this.  "After saying that, he looked at the telegram in his hand again. The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander said excitedly: "Great, I have been waiting for a long time for this order.  " "Commander!"  "    "have!  "A burly Japanese soldier came in response. "Order all companies to open fire on me immediately and beat them hard. As long as they appear in our field of vision, the little devils don't care whether they are male or female, old or young.  Yes, male and femaleYes, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!  "The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander said very excitedly. After hearing this, the ordering soldier's eyes lit up, and he loudly agreed with excitement, then turned around and ran away. "Not long after, hundreds of people were already gnashing their teeth and waiting impatiently*  *After receiving the order, he was like a tiger coming out of the gate. With red eyes, he used various automatic firearms in his hands and launched a fierce salvo of fire at the Japanese blocking the front.  They all opened fire, and the desperate Japanese fell down in pieces. Some soldiers still couldn't understand their hatred, and threw grenades, causing the Japanese soldiers to fly. Wang Tiehan's order spread quickly like a plague.  Come, fierce gunfire broke out in villages and towns outside Tokyo. (To be continued)

    The tens of thousands of soldiers in various units of the Japanese Army quickly implemented this extremely popular order cleanly and thoroughly. レ?レ The entire city outside Tokyo instantly turned into a piece of Shura hell. Wherever the gunfire passed, no chickens or dogs were left behind. Countless houses were burned down, and all Japanese who participated in the resistance were wiped out.  During the fierce battle, many Japanese soldiers lost control and entered some Japanese homes in the streets and alleys in groups of two and a half, and began to search specifically for Japanese women who were hiding.  Immediately, the proud lewd laughter of Japanese soldiers and the screams of Japanese women erupted from these Japanese homes.  War has always been about destruction, killing, raping, burning, etc. Everything related to destruction will happen.  At this moment, the fury of the war finally reached the Japanese capital, and the bellicose Japanese began to get the retribution they deserved.  And all this is just the beginning.  In Tokyo, the capital of Japan with a population of nearly one million, there will be a more tragic and large-scale destruction.  In a small courtyard, two Chinese soldiers were taking turns riding on a stripped Japanese woman to vent their long-repressed desires.  At this time, a ** second lieutenant rushed in with a group of soldiers. The two Chinese soldiers were so frightened that they stood up quickly, not even bothering to put on their clothes.  It made the comrades who followed the second lieutenant platoon leader burst into laughter, and both soldiers rarely blushed.  The second lieutenant platoon leader looked at the shivering and disheveled Japanese woman on the ground, who was ejaculating.  He quickly withdrew his gaze and scolded his two subordinates who had their heads lowered: "You two bastards, you are so fucking worthless. What fun do these Japanese girls outside the city have? As long as you break into Tokyo.  The city, what are the beautiful Japanese girls in the city? Listen to me, the war is urgent, and it’s not time to enjoy it now. When we get into Tokyo, I will give you a month off and let you have a good time.  ! Now, please take care of those things in your crotch, otherwise it will delay the war. Don’t blame me for ignoring my colleagues!” After saying that, he kicked each of the two big-headed soldiers and asked: “What the hell!  "Yes, do you understand?" "I understand!" the two Japanese soldiers replied loudly.  "I understand, just get dressed quickly, we will continue to attack!" said the platoon leader, Second Lieutenant **.  "Yes!" The two men stood up and responded as if they had been granted amnesty.  Immediately they began to put on their clothes in a panic.  A squad leader looked at the Japanese woman lying on the ground, swallowed his saliva and asked: "Platoon leader, what should I do with this bitch?" **The second lieutenant platoon leader glared at him: "You bitch, you forgot what happened above.  Order? No matter whether they are humans or animals, kill them all within our range. Remember to use a bayonet and don’t waste bullets! " "Yes!"  He responded and winked at one of his subordinates.  A rifleman stabbed with a semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet, ending the life of the Japanese girl on the ground.  …………… In the west of Tokyo, after nearly an hour of gathering, Wang Longxiang finally assembled all his five thousand airborne troops.  After the assembly is completed.  They quickly advanced toward Tokyo City.  Wang Longxiang, accompanied by several adjutants, was looking at a combat map of the Tokyo area.  While looking at the map, Wang Longxiang said: "According to the tasks assigned to us by the chairman in advance, we should occupy here, here." "Wako. Nerima area?" An adjutant said following the area he pointed to.  "Yes, it should be here. Our mission is not to attack the city. It is to quickly build a defense line after occupying this place to block Japanese reinforcements that may come from the northwest and southwest to aid Tokyo." Wang Longxiang paused and said: "Tell me  Troops, plus advance, we have to hurry up." Just as Wang Longxiang and several adjutants were about to move forward, a communications soldier ran over and conveyed to him the latest orders and instructions from the commander-in-chief of the Navy's Third Fleet.  In this Battle of Tokyo, Wang Tiehan was the commander-in-chief. Although Wang Longxiang's airborne troops were under the direct command of Zhang Xinghan and joined later, the battle sequence was still under the direct command of Wang Tiehan.  Therefore, he still has to abide by Wang Tiehan's military orders.  As a Chinese, especially from the Northeast, Wang Longxiang quite agrees with Wang Tiehan's order.  In fact, even without Wang Tiehan’s order to kill without mercy, Wang Longxiang would have ordered the troops to carry out necessary purges in order to ensure the mission of the troops was foolproof and reduce risks.  It’s fine now. Wang Tiehan’s telegram is even more??He has no restraints and can let go and do whatever he wants.  Although most of the airborne troops are elite veterans drawn from various combat units, there are also some outstanding personnel selected directly from the fresh graduates of major military academies.  Although they have received systematic and formal training from the military academy, they have not yet been on the battlefield. This time just gives them a chance to see blood and practice well.  Less than ten minutes after receiving the order, a special situation was reported from the forward battalion. There was a Japanese village in front. There were about three to four hundred people in the village. They were all armed and launched what was tantamount to a suicide attack on them.  attack.  The commander of the forward troops asked for instructions on how to deal with it. Wang Longxiang immediately ordered the troops to open fire with all their strength without thinking.  Hundreds of paratroopers who had this intention immediately carried out the order faithfully after receiving the order.  A fresh graduate of the military academy who had never been on the battlefield saw that there were many women, children and old people among the people they shot, and he couldn't help but grabbed an old team member next to him.  Said: "Niu Er, isn't it a bit too cruel for us to do this? Although they are armed personnel, many of them are old, weak, women and children." The airborne soldier named Niu Er is a veteran. He was a veteran before he joined the airborne force.  A member of the Northeast Border Guards who has experienced hundreds of battles.  He said disapprovingly: "I said Zhao Xiucai, are you from the south?" The airborne soldier known as Zhao Xiucai adjusted his glasses and nodded.  By this time, the crazy shooting had basically ended, and the soldiers began to enter the village to search for survivors.  On the road into the village, Japanese soldiers were lying everywhere, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.  The scholar airborne soldier walked and watched, frowning, obviously uncomfortable.  "No wonder, do you know that after the September 18th Incident, the Japanese invaded our four northeastern provinces and killed how many of our compatriots? How many of our houses were burned and how many of our girls were ruined? Do you know how many civilians we lost in the Jinan Massacre?  "Do you know how many compatriots were killed by the Japanese after Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese?" This airborne soldier named Niu Er is a veteran, and he is naturally familiar with the things that are often promoted in the army. He is also from the Northeast.  , so it is an absolute pain for the Japanese.  The scholar airborne soldier still shook his head in confusion.  In fact, as a student, he naturally knew about the massacres in Taiwan and Jinan before joining the army, but at this moment he was already stunned by the cruel war.  Niu Er glanced at him angrily, fired the MP38 in his hand at a Japanese who was not dead yet, and said: "You don't know anything, what kind of saint are you pretending to be here, what pity is Japan"  When the Japanese killed our compatriots, did they feel sorry for the old and weak women and children? I tell you, this is a debt owed by the Japanese.  I can repay it with blood!" Suddenly, the Xiucai airborne troops discovered that a seriously injured Japanese woman had taken out a melon grenade from somewhere and was struggling to activate it.  The long-trained instinct came into play at this moment. He almost subconsciously raised the MP38 German submachine gun in his hand and fired rapidly at the Japanese woman.  "Okay, she's dead, don't waste your fucking ammunition." Niu Er saw the scholar soldier and for some unknown reason, he kept pulling the trigger with a painful look on his face, showing no signs of stopping.  The sound of gunfire aroused the glances of many comrades not far away.  He quickly held him down.  Only then did the Xiucai airborne soldier come back to his senses and looked at the Japanese woman he had beaten to death. Her head had been completely shattered by his violent shooting. The red and white mixture flowed all over the floor. It was extremely tragic.  .  Seeing this scene, Xiu Caibing could no longer bear it, turned over and began to vomit.  Niu Erque's eyes flashed with excitement and he patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, they are already dead. Is it necessary to react so bigly? Yes, just a bitch. What the hell is this? Back then  The battle in Dalian was much more tragic than this." He spoke with disapproval and full of memories.  The scholar airborne soldier finally stopped vomiting, but he never dared to look at the headless corpse. He followed Niu Er and walked forward quickly. He may not even know that he was making progress towards becoming a qualified soldier.  When Wang Longxiang passed by this village with his main force, he couldn't help but be so shocked by the scene in front of him that he took a breath of air.  He couldn't help but said with a cold face: "Fuck, bigThis bitch is really a living king of hell, even more ruthless than me.  " An adjutant reported at this time: "Brigade, Mazi and his troops have arrived at Waguang. Wherever the Japanese regular troops are stationed, they are attacking fiercely. The Japanese resistance is very tenacious!  "Wang Longxiang said without even thinking: "The Chuanling troops, immediately speed up their advance to meet up with the forward battalion, and capture Heguang first.  " "Yes" the adjutant quickly accepted the order and left. Thousands of elite airborne troops accelerated their speed and swarmed towards the direction where the sound of explosions and gunfire was faintly heard. PS: The promised fourth update is here.  , brothers, it’s fun to watch and cast some votes, tomorrow will be a bloodbath in Tokyo, so stay tuned!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 539: Bloodbath in Tokyo (Part 1)

    As the main battle site in the direction of Tokyo's East Gate, the Chinese corps encountered the strongest resistance from the Japanese.  The fierce fighting here was also the most brutal, with a large number of Japanese soldiers falling on the road of charge.  Of course, their fall was not without value. The Japanese casualties were more than three times theirs.  This is mainly because many ordinary civilians among the Japanese on the defensive side participated.  The Japanese devils who had not received any military training did not know how to dodge at all, and they became the best living targets for the Japanese soldiers in the hail of bullets.  The second is the superior firepower of the air force and naval gun group of the Chinese ** Squadron. The casualties they caused to the Japanese far exceeded the casualties of the landing troops.  In those bursts of extremely violent explosions, the originally prosperous East Gate area of ??Tokyo City was completely turned into ruins.  In the city of Tokyo, extremely thick smoke completely enveloped the place.  “About a thousand Japanese men, their heads wrapped in various white cloths, armed with some old firearms, swords, guns, clubs and other cold weapons, walked quickly along the ruined streets towards the East City Gate, which was in tatters but was still undergoing fierce exchanges of fire.  Except for a few older men who were retired soldiers and looked determined, most of the Japanese were pale and their bodies could not help but tremble.  There was even a Japs who looked to be only in their teens. Listening to the increasingly dense gunfire and the explosions of shells falling around them from time to time in the crowd, he was so frightened that he started crying.  Even though he was crying, he could only continue to move forward with these people, heading towards the battlefield that he knew was death.  Because His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict, the entire Yamato people must fight to the death to defend the capital.  The Chinese will not retreat for a day, and everyone must take up arms and go to the battlefield to fight them.  There were Imperial Guards behind with guns supervising the battle, so even they were scared to death.  They didn't dare to look back, because once they did, they would be greeted by a dense rain of machine gun bullets.  A few minutes later, more than a thousand Japanese men, led by several retired veterans, entered the battlefield where bullets were flying.  There are dead bodies everywhere, and the bullets are like raindrops, everywhere.  More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were shouted at and dispersed.  But many people failed to react and were knocked down by the dense rain of bullets.  What frightened the Japs even more was the sudden violent explosions. More than a dozen Japs were swallowed up by the fire that rose from the ground, leaving no trace of their corpses.  The Japanese boy who was crying and crying earlier was completely frightened and forgot to shed tears and cry.  Even forgot to move.  He just stood there until a sharp and piercing scream fell from the sky, and after a flash of red light, he disappeared out of thin air.  "Killcharge!" A shocking shout of killing rang out from outside the city. After a round of shelling, thousands of Japanese soldiers once again launched an overwhelming and violent offensive against Tokyo City.  On the city wall that was almost in ruins, the surviving Japanese soldiers fired tenaciously from various ruins.  The sparse firepower could no longer stop the Chinese army's tidal charge.  Seeing this, a Japanese colonel raised his sergeant sword and roared at the top of his lungs: "Warriors of the empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, kill him!" The Japanese soldiers hidden throughout the East City Gate suddenly seemed to be fighting.  They jumped out one after another and rushed out with 38 rifles with bayonets attached.  The Japanese civilians without rifles roared like crazy and rushed out with all kinds of weapons.  The charging Japanese attack troops saw this and opened fire with their weapons.  The dense bullets immediately hit them head-on in rows, and the Japanese soldiers fell down in large areas in an instant.  ** occupies an absolute firepower advantage.  Various individual weapons and tank units opened fire violently, and Japanese casualties increased exponentially. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? were all killed and wounded among the surviving Japanese soldiers.  The civilians who followed behind were even more like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, becoming the best targets for the Japanese soldiers to pour out their anger.  The fierce fighting lasted for more than an hour. Seeing that the Japanese attack troops were about to slaughter all the Japanese outside the city, a large number of Japanese invaders poured out of the city.  Like before, there are soldiers among these Japanese.  But there are more ordinary people wearing civilian clothes and many samurai wearing samurai swords.  …………… In the Imperial Palace of Japan, Emperor Hirohito was sitting with a sullen face, and standing next to him was a beautiful woman in her thirties. This person was none other than him.  It was Emperor Hirohito's Empress Ryoko.  Sitting in this originally quiet palace, you can already hear the explosions that ring out from time to time inside and outside the city.The sound of explosions and the vague and intensive gunshots.  "Your Majesty, please listen to Ishihara Kanji's advice and quickly hide in the underground bunker. Where is the safest place." Empress Ryoko advised earnestly. As soon as the battle started, Ishihara Kanji and others suggested that the emperor leave the palace.  Entering underground fortified bunkers to avoid possible Chinese air attacks.  But Emperor Hirohito was not moved at all and insisted on staying in the palace. Fortunately, although the Chinese Air Force fighter jets frequently dispatched and violently bombed various places in Tokyo, they did not bomb the palace.  Even so, Empress Liangzi was still very nervous, especially when she heard the dull explosions coming from outside, she became even more nervous.  Seeing that Emperor Hirohito could not be persuaded, Empress Ryoko knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, please put the country first. You are the god in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Yamato people. You cannot put yourself in danger."  If it’s not for the sake of the country, can Your Majesty bear to see our children lose their father?” Unexpectedly, Emperor Hirohito kicked the kneeling Empress Ryoko to the ground and roared in anger: “That’s enough, give it to me?”  Shut up, my people are fighting bloody battles with the Chinese, and the casualties have increased by tens of thousands. Their children are also losing their fathers, and their wives are losing their husbands. "In fact, Emperor Hirohito's anger is not because of Empress Ryoko at all.  , but he had just received the latest news that a Chinese airborne force suddenly appeared in the west of the city and captured the Heguang area.  In this way, even if the city of Tokyo is surrounded by Chinese troops, Emperor Hirohito will be in a good mood.  As for escaping air strikes, Emperor Hirohito had his own little plan. He knew that not a single Chinese Air Force fighter plane had come to bomb his palace so far. It was obvious that he had been instructed by their supreme commander to capture him alive.  Therefore, it is the safest for him to stay in the palace. How could Empress Liangzi, a woman, imagine this. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of all his high-sounding words and incomparable benevolence and righteousness, in fact this old boy is quite shrewd.  PS: There will be another chapter later!  (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 540: U.S. Army Participates in the War

    Kyushu Island, Fukuoka, National Revolutionary Army Japanese Islands Campaign Headquarters.  "Commissioner, the Third Fleet has called. The airborne troops are in place. Tokyo City is officially surrounded by our troops from all sides!" Guo Zhong held a message and ordered Zhang Xinghan excitedly.  "Very good, tell Wang Tiehan that he will take Tokyo City for me within three days, and it is best to capture Emperor Hirohito alive!" Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this and said.  Guo Zhong took the order, and Tang Enbo, who was currently the commander of a group army in the Central Plains Military Region who was accompanying the army, asked puzzledly: "Chairman, I don't understand this humble position, why didn't you directly order the air force to raze the Japanese Imperial Palace, and why did you insist on capturing Emperor Hirohito alive?  This is much more costly and difficult than killing him. "As long as we can capture Emperor Hirohito alive, it will be worth paying no matter how high the price is!" Zhang Xinghan said with profound meaning.  Tang Enbo shook his head and said: "Well, I really don't understand why I have to capture Emperor Hirohito alive and directly eliminate him. Wouldn't it be more damaging to the Japanese military morale and the people's will to resist?" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said to Jiang Baili.  "Brother Baili, come and explain to Commander Tang why we want to capture Emperor Hirohito alive." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "It's very simple. Due to the poison of the bushido spirit and loyalty to the emperor advocated by Japanese militarism, the Japanese emperor has become more and more popular in Japan.  The prestige among the people is unimaginable by ordinary people. Once Emperor Hirohito dies under our bombing, the fanatics of the current Japanese government will use this to incite the Japanese people and call on them to avenge the emperor, which will have an eternal impact on us.  In this way, the Japanese archipelago will fall into endless war, which is not conducive to our military's rule over the Japanese archipelago. After all, Japan has a population of tens of millions, and we cannot kill all the Japanese who resist.  Kill them all, right? The only way is to capture the Japanese Emperor alive as long as he is still alive, then all Japan's millions of troops will collapse in an instant.  A puppet in our hands to form a pro-China puppet regime will help us rule Japan. "What if the Japanese regime and the emperor rebel in the future?" Tang Enbo asked with some worry.  "No matter when the time comes, the pro-China Japanese government will not allow the formation of an army, and will only retain the necessary police to maintain local security. And our Chinese troops stationed in Japan will never evacuate, no matter the passage of time or the change of personnel.  The Japanese garrison will be retained forever. In this way, little Japan will never be able to stand up. Over time, the Japanese hatred of China will disappear with the passage of time. In the future, it may become a province of China or directly become an overseas territory of China.  Subsidiary country. But that’s not something we need to worry about, because it may be a matter of hundreds of years.” Zhang Xinghan said.  Tang Enbo’s face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.  He said: "That's it. Chairman and Mr. Jiang have great foresight and foresight. Tang Mou admires them very much. I admire them very much!" "Haha, Commander Tang deserves the award. These were all thought up by the Chairman alone." Jiang Baili looked at him with a smile.  Zhang Xinghan.  Jiang Baili was truly convinced of Zhang Xinghan's ideas that he had put forward before the war!  "Okay, Brother Baili, don't praise me anymore." Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand.  Then he said: "The progress of the battle in the direction of Shimonoseki has changed a lot. I plan to go to the Kitakyushu front line in person to take command. What do you think?" Tang Enbo took the lead in flattering and said: "The Chairman is wise." Jiang Baili also nodded with a smile.  "Okay, let's set off now." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan said to Guo Zhong, who had just returned: "Zhongzi, summon the guard camp. Let's go to Kitakyushu." "Yes." Guo Zhong responded with a bang, and immediately turned around to make arrangements.  …………… United States, White House, Presidential Office, Washington.  "Mr. President, the Chinese Army has surrounded the city of Tokyo. The main force of the Japanese is far northwest of Honshu Island and the front line of Shikoku Island. There are not many garrison troops in the Tokyo area. According to the judgment of the Pacific Command, if our army  If we don't join the war, Tokyo will fall within three to five days," a secretary reported to Luo Zizi.  Roosevelt, who was sitting in the office chair, looked very heavy at the moment. After the secretary finished speaking, he lowered his head and stood there waiting for Roosevelt's instructions.  The office fell into silence for a while.  After a long time, Roosevelt said with a gloomy face: "Immediately send power to the Pacific Command. Implement the Hornet Plan." The secretary's face changed, and Roosevelt's face was gloomy.??He quickly bowed his head in agreement, turned around and left.  …………… The fighting on the battlefield in Tokyo was in full swing, but the offshore waters of Japan in the Pacific Ocean not far from Tokyo Bay were calm.  Suddenly a U.S. warship sailed towards Tokyo Bay, and the Chinese submarine force cruising in the nearby waters immediately reported the sudden situation urgently.  In Northern Kyushu, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others had just arrived with the guard battalion and had not yet had time to enter Huang Xiansheng's former enemy headquarters.  The accompanying communications personnel rushed over in a panic, and reported to them before saluting: "Chairman of the Committee, Chief of Staff, Jiaolong is calling urgently." "Huh? Oh?" ??Both Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili's expressions changed, and Jiang Baili stretched out his hand.  Received the message.  Kai Kai and Zhang Xinghan took a quick look at it and said with a serious expression: "Commissioner, Tokyo is under siege and a fierce battle is in full swing. The Americans suddenly appeared with obvious intentions. They must be here to reinforce the Japanese." "Fighters are changing in an instant. We  A decision must be made as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to fall into passivity. In serious cases, it may endanger our 100,000 soldiers surrounding Tokyo and the Navy's Third Fleet in Tokyo Bay." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and pondered slightly.  Then he said sternly: "Immediately generate electricity for the Jiaolong troops and immediately attack across the board. Any American ships approaching Japan's offshore waters are their attack targets. Their mission is to sink all enemy ships flying the Union Jack flag and destroy them."  Throw the Americans into the sea and feed them to the sharks!” “Yes!” The signal soldier responded with a solemn expression, turned around and took the order to leave.  Zhang Xinghan's brows were filled with sorrow, and he said awe-inspiringly: "This time, we and the Americans may inevitably have a war. I didn't expect that the war between us and the Americans would come so quickly." Jiang Baili said with relief at the side: "This  The war is not what we want to fight, but the ambition of the Americans in power eventually triggered the war. " "Forget it, the worst thing is that we will develop ten or twenty years later. This time, we must go all out no matter what.  , the arrogant Americans must be taught a lesson." Zhang Xinghan quickly calmed down and regained his composure: "We don't have much time left, so we immediately order the Third Fleet and our troops on the front battlefields of Shikoku Island and Honshu Island.  , From now on, all ministries must fight to the death to end the war on the Japanese archipelago as soon as possible. " Zhang Xinghan's order with great historical significance was transmitted to the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean along with radio waves in a very short period of time.  , in a xxi submarine.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Lieutenant General Wang Yunhai, the commander-in-chief of the Jiaolong Force and the commander of this battle, stood up suddenly and said to the adjutant in the submarine: "Adjutant Zhou, please send me an order immediately. All officers and men will immediately launch an attack on the US fleet facing us.  Throw all the Americans into the sea and feed them to the sharks!” “Yes!” the adjutant responded excitedly, and turned around to leave.  The order was quickly conveyed to more than 250 submarines cruising in this area.  The American destroyer that deliberately sailed to Tokyo Bay as a bait was attacked first. A giant torpedo hit its bow, easily destroying it.  The violent explosion quickly swallowed up half of the hull, and American sailors began to panic and jump into the sea to escape.  At the same time, situations like this are happening one after another in a sea area of ??about a hundred miles in radius.  The main force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses in less than two hours. More than a dozen destroyers, cruisers, and two aircraft carriers were sunk.  More than 20 other large and small ships, including two battleships and an aircraft carrier, were severely damaged and were about to sink. The U.S. Navy on board abandoned the ship one after another to escape.  When the destroyer used as a decoy was attacked, the news that the Chinese navy had taken the bait was immediately reported to the Office of the President of the White House in Washington, DC.  Before Roosevelt could feel happy about the successful implementation of his Bumblebee plan, another presidential secretary brought news that made him fall from heaven to hell in an instant.  The Pacific Fleet was fully attacked by the Chinese submarine force, suffering heavy losses and almost being wiped out.  By the time the secretary finished reading, Roosevelt's face looked extremely ugly.  "What on earth is going on? How could this happen?" Roosevelt almost roared.  Both secretaries lowered their heads, and no one could answer.  “ Equally depressed is the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. They originally planned to send an old destroyer into Tokyo Bay according to the Hornet battle plan to provoke the Chinese Navy’s Third Fleet in the bay, which was attacking Tokyo.  "Thus slandering the Chinese Navy for maliciously attacking the U.S. Navy,"Roosevelt achieved his goal of obtaining an excuse to order the United States to go to war with China. However, what he did not expect was that the destroyer on the mission was attacked before it reached Tokyo Bay and was quickly sunk. Then it was within a range of less than 100 nautical miles.  The main force of the Pacific Navy fleet, which was waiting for a full-scale attack, was unexpectedly attacked by a large number of Chinese submarines.  In the haste, the entire Pacific Navy fleet was almost lost.  However, Roosevelt soon showed a sneer, seeming to say to himself: "No matter what, this time no one can stop the determination of thousands of angry people in the United States of America to declare war on the Chinese. Although the cost is a bit high, it is powerful."  The American team will definitely make the Chinese pay the price tenfold and a hundredfold." (To be continued.

    "Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House and Senate: Yesterday, December 3, 1936 - a day that must always be remembered as a shameful day - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the navy and air force of the Republic of China. The United States  We live in peace with China, but this time the Chinese Navy launched an attack on Japan, our ally in the Far East without being dissuaded. Our Pacific Fleet stationed at the base in Hawaii is in order to protect the lives and property of our expatriates and businessmen in Japan.  Safety, and was ordered to sail to Japanese waters. But the Chinese Navy’s submarine force launched an attack on our Pacific Fleet without any warning. It has caused serious damage to our Pacific Fleet. I regret to tell you.  Many Americans lost their lives because of this. This is the greatest provocation and harm to our country and our people. The great United States of America must not tolerate the loss of nearly 10,000 brave young officers and soldiers and remain indifferent.  What he said should express the will of the people and Congress. We must fight back, and our armed forces must teach the Chinese people the most profound and serious lesson. "It was only three years since the main force of the Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses in the northeastern waters of Japan.  Hours later, he delivered his carefully prepared speech to the Senate, House of Representatives and various radio broadcasts across the United States.  Americans who did not know the truth were indignant, and most people chose to support the government in launching a war against the Chinese army.  In Congress, the vast majority of members of the Senate and House of Representatives also voted in favor.  Five hours later.  The Americans officially declared war on the Chinese army.  Roosevelt declared that the country had entered a state of war, and the United States' huge war machine began to operate.  Of course, since the main force in the Pacific has been almost completely lost, the United States has very few available troops in Asia.  It will still take time to draw reinforcements from Europe and North America.     therefore.  The desperate struggle between China and Japan on the Japanese archipelago continues.  …… Kitakyushu, the former enemy headquarters.  Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan with a solemn face: "Chairman, the Americans have declared war on us." "Well, Roosevelt was indeed prepared." Zhang Xinghan looked away from the map, turned around and said, "Notice Xue Yue, strengthen the defense of Taiwan, the Penghu Islands and our southeastern coast to prevent the Americans from launching a direct attack on our homeland. In addition, he notified Wang Yunhai to dispatch half of the submarine force to the South China Sea to assist Xue Yue in maintaining my country's coastal defense and continue the pursuit. The remnants of the U.S. Pacific Fleet cruising in the Eastern Pacific. "Jiang Baili ordered a communications staff officer to go.  He said to Zhang Xinghan: "Committee. We must end the war in the Japanese Archipelago as soon as possible. Then concentrate the navy, land and air force to build our joint sea, land and air defense line with the Japanese Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan Islands and the Korean Peninsula. Rely on this line of defense to resist the United States.  "Well, one month, we must end the war on the Japanese archipelago within one month." Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously: "Order the frontal attack troops to defeat the Japanese army in Xiaguan before dark tomorrow.  Its defense line will advance towards the Hiroshima defense line. "It shouldn't be a big problem. All the armored forces have landed. Although the Japanese continue to add troops to Xianguan, they lack the effectiveness to compete with our armored forces." Jiang Baili said.  …………… The front line of the Shimonoseki City battlefield.  Wang Yizhe, commander-in-chief of the dispatched troops stationed in Japan, and Huang Xiansheng, commander-in-chief of the North China Front, both crossed the Kanmon Strait.  Go to the front line to personally command the hundreds of thousands of Chinese Army elites who have landed in the main battle.  At this time, basically all the more than 300,000 elite army troops stationed in Japan have landed.  Several tank and armored divisions formed an armored group army, gathering more than 500 Panzer IV tanks and hundreds of thousands of infantry to launch a fierce all-out offensive against the Japanese defense lines in and near Xiaguan.  A large number of Katyusha rocket launchers poured tens of thousands of tons of steel shells on the Japanese positions, turning the Japanese positions into a sea of ????fire and hell.  After the Chinese ** team launched no less than twenty rounds of fierce attacks, the Japanese position was already covered with blood and mountains of corpses.  Although they blocked the attack of the Chinese ** team, the Japanese also suffered extremely heavy casualties.  On December 4, the Chinese Army's infantry and tanks, combined with the Air Force's Snow Bamboo, finally broke through the Japanese defensive position in Xiaguan. The Japanese army, which had been struggling to support itself and was on the verge of collapse, was instantly defeated.  Rushing to the mountain pass, Fangfu areaHasty retreat.  In one day, the mechanized attack force of the Chinese ** team successively captured Meitu, Yamada and Onoda and other county towns.  The troops were approaching the line between Hiroshima and Yamaguchi.  At the same time, on the battlefield of Shikoku Island, the Chinese ** team, under the command of Xing Zhanqing and others, also successfully defeated the Japanese defenders in Hachimanhama, Uwajima, Sukumo, Tosa Kiyoshi, Shimanto and other places, and captured all the above areas.  Started to march towards the central areas of Shikoku Island such as Matsuyama and Kochi.  Due to the special geographical environment of Shikoku Island, especially after the Japanese army lost control of the sea and air, it was impossible to receive a steady stream of follow-up reinforcements like Honshu Island.  Therefore, when the northern coastal defense line was broken through by the Chinese Army, the Japanese defenders on Shikoku Island were seriously injured, and the Chinese Army was ready to sweep Shikoku Island.  Within two or three days at the latest, Xing Zhanqing’s mechanized troops will be able to sweep across the entire Shikoku Island with the assistance of the air force.  ………… While initial victories were achieved on frontal battlefields such as Shikoku Island and Honshu Island, they were advancing steadily.  The Third Fleet of the Navy commanded by Wang Tiehan finally made progress on the Tokyo battlefield.  After inflicting heavy casualties on Japanese soldiers and civilians, the elite troops in the east of the city finally broke through the Japanese city defenses and entered the city.  But what’s worse is that more than 20,000 Japanese reinforcements from Sendai and the surrounding areas of Tokyo have also arrived.  As a result, the more than 20,000 troops in the northeast and due north of Tokyo, who had just cleared the way through bloody massacres, arrived at the predetermined position, and completed the roundabout of Tokyo, had to divert a considerable number of troops to defend in order to  Block Japanese reinforcements.  Wang Longxiang’s two airborne regiments also suffered a counterattack by a large number of Japanese troops. Although the airborne regiments relied on their sophisticated equipment and skilled battlefield experience to repel the Japanese troops and caused a large number of casualties.  But they had to stop and switch to defense on the spot, and it was a very simple two-sided defense, because the news from the air force was that the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Nagoya were not far away from them.  PS: My waist is frozen, and I’m so sore that I can’t even stand up. I’m lying on the bed typing out this chapter. I hope it will get better after a good sleep tonight. If there are no accidents, I’ll make up for it tomorrow.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 542: Bloodbath in Tokyo (Part 2)

    Liu Jinkui is an ordinary veteran of the Communist Party of China. He joined the army in the 22nd year of the Republic of China and has served in the army for five years now.  ??Having participated in no less than dozens of battles, large and small, he has now grown into a second lieutenant in the National Revolutionary Army and serves as a platoon leader in the Expeditionary Forces in Japan.  This time, Liu Jinkui and his company were honored to be selected for the attack on Tokyo.  After the landing battle to attack Tokyo began, Liu Jinkui and his infantry platoon were assigned to the roundabout troops in the north of the city.  After a brutal and bloody attack, they wiped out more than a dozen Japanese villages and finally reached their intended location.  Completed the tasks assigned to them by their superiors.  However, just as they were preparing to launch an attack on Tokyo City with the large army.  The company commander sent a military order: "Platoon Commander Liu, the company commander orders you to immediately take people to Jinda Village behind you to set up defenses. You must hold on here for twelve hours no matter what." "Yes, resolutely implement the order."  An iron-blooded veteran, Liu Jinkui said without hesitation.  As soon as the ordering soldiers left, Liu Jinkui immediately summoned the entire platoon and headed for Dajin Village, not far from them.  This is a small Japanese village. When Liu Jinkui arrived with his men, he understood why the company commander asked them to stick to this place.  Because there is a small river in the north of the village and a stone bridge is built on it. Needless to say, this must be a relatively important place in the local area.  As an infantry platoon leader, Liu Jinkui does not need to consider what the overall deployment purpose of Shangfeng is. All he needs to do is to lead his men to stick to the village and prevent any possible Japanese troops from crossing their defense line.  The infantry regiments of the Northeastern Army stationed in Japan are all Category A regiments. The strength and firepower of the infantry platoons are also set up to be enough to overwhelm the Japanese infantry squads and to compete with the Japanese infantry squadrons.  Therefore, Liu Jinkui has six squads, including four main infantry squads, one artillery squad and one machine gun squad each.  In addition to being equipped with two conventional grenades and two 60mm mortars each, the artillery squad is also equipped with two bazooka rocket launchers.  The machine gun squad is equipped with six mg34 general-purpose machine guns.  Together with one for each of the other four infantry squads, the number of general-purpose machine guns in Liu Jinkui's infantry platoon reached ten.  Such powerful firepower is extremely terrifying, not to mention that each infantry squad also has eight riflemen equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles, two stormtroopers equipped with MP38, one bombardier, three machine gunners, the chief and deputy  shooter and an ammo hand.  Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this main infantry platoon of more than 80 people is enough to fight a Japanese squadron or even a brigade.  This kind of main infantry platoon is a typical grassroots unit in the original Northeast Army. Basically, the main force of the Northeast Army is composed like this.  After executing all the Japanese in the village.  Liu Jinkui left an infantry squad to serve as a guard, and other personnel began to build their defensive positions relying on the village and the small river that surrounded the village.  With a loud "boom", the stone bridge leading directly to the road in the center of the village was successfully destroyed by two blasters.  Liu Jinkui lit a cigarette, looked at the broken stone bridge, and looked across the river again, then turned back and urged: "Brothers, work harder, the little devil will come when he says it."  The sweaty squad leader came over and said: "Platoon commander, are the reinforcements coming from the Japs? Why else would the company commander have left us here instead of attacking Tokyo." Liu Jinkui nodded and said, "It should be,  No matter how many Japanese come, don't even think about passing through their defense area. After defeating them, we will go back to the battle to attack Tokyo." "Okay, let's dig the fortifications quickly." Liu Jinkui took a puff of the cigarette in his hand.  He was clean, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stubbed it out with his foot.  At this moment, two sentinel soldiers ran over quickly carrying their semi-automatic rifles.  One of them saluted Liu Jinkui and said: "Platoon leader, the second platoon is 500 meters east of us and is also digging fortifications." "The second platoon has also been transferred here?" Liu Jinkui said solemnly: "It seems that our entire company has  It's going to be used as a barrier. There are a lot of little devils here. " "Go and tell Wang Mazi right away. When the fight starts, we'll take care of each other. If he can't stand it anymore, give me a shot.  Red flare, I will send people to reinforce him." The leading soldiers took the order.  Liu Jinkui also personally picked up a shovel and started digging trenches with his comrades.  …………In Tokyo City, after learning that the east of the city had been breached, Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro quickly mobilized reinforcements to counterattack.  Wang Tiehan also put a reserve division into the battle, and the two sides started a bloody battle in the east of the city. During the street fighting, the originalThe Japanese buildings in ruins were destroyed twice, and many were razed to the ground by large-caliber artillery.  Due to the determined resistance of the Japanese, the progress of the Third Fleet's attack force was quite slow.  On the battleship Huo Qubing, an adjutant was describing to Wang Tiehan: "Most of the Japanese buildings in the city were in ruins, which greatly hindered the movement of our tanks and armor. We encountered difficulties in the coordination of infantry and tanks. The Japanese fought bloody battles with us house by house and alley by lane.  Each division advanced very slowly, and asked for instructions whether they could use poison gas bombs and white phosphorus bombs to coordinate the attack. "Wang Tiehan said without thinking: "These pig-minded troops have used bloody methods outside the city, what else can't they do?  Use it? Use as much as you can, even if it means razing the city of Tokyo to the ground. Our target is the Japanese Imperial Palace. Tell them that no one is allowed to shoot at the Imperial Palace. Anyone who violates the order will be subject to military law!  They can fight as they please." "Yes, I'll inform you immediately," the adjutant responded, then turned and left.  With Wang Tiehan’s permission, each attacking force replaced the artillery with more lethal poison gas bombs and extremely destructive white phosphorus incendiary bombs.  The Japanese were caught off guard and suffered extremely heavy losses. Wearing gas masks, the Japanese took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely, greatly speeding up their advance for a time.  ………… North of the city, Jinda Village.  After more than an hour of hard digging, Liu Jinkui finally led his men to build a riverside defensive position based on the village.  Before the entire platoon of officers and soldiers could take a break, the leading soldier in charge of forward reconnaissance ran back panting.  "Platoon leader, ghosts, ghosts, so many ghosts." Liu Jinkui, who had just been sitting on the mound outside the trench and wanted to take a rest, immediately stood up when he heard the words. He followed the point of the soldier and raised the telescope hanging around his neck to look.  .  I saw a large number of Japanese approaching on the wilderness road about two kilometers away. It was too far away to tell how many there were.  But Liu Jinkui relied on his many years of experience to judge that the number of Japanese troops coming in would never be less than 1,500.  PS: There are three more chapters, each chapter is 3,000 words, so stay tuned.  (To be continued)

    "Prepare to fight!" Liu Jinkui quickly pulled out his gun, slid into the trench with a grunt, and repeated his orders while running around with his waist bent.  Dozens of officers and soldiers who just seemed to be resting in a relaxed state immediately jumped into the trenches like a conditioned reflex, picked up their weapons and quickly shuttled into their respective designated defense zones.  At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the machine gun squad and artillery squad deployed in the village also increased their vigilance and prepared for battle.  Six general-purpose machine guns are distributed among the houses on both sides of the village road, forming a criss-cross fire network with the four general-purpose machine guns on the riverside position.  Liu Jinkui was holding a German-style mirror box in his hand, commonly known as a box gun. He came to a foxhole, lay down with two soldiers around him, and clicked open the gun.  The two riflemen also pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the chamber, with the dark muzzles pointed forward.  During the suffocating wait, the surging Japanese army was finally vaguely visible, but the Japanese were very cunning and stopped outside the range of the gun.  The Japs did not know whether there was a blocking force from the Japanese Army ahead, but because the front was very close to Tokyo City and there was a river, the commander who led the team just reacted out of common sense in marching operations.  Before much time had passed, about a small group of Japanese troops, led by a Jaap squad leader, came toward them to explore and explore.  Upon seeing this, Liu Jinkui said to a rifleman next to him: "Give me an order. No one is allowed to shoot. If this group of little devils wants to cross the river, let them all come over and then open fire. In short, listen to my gunshots."  !” The rifleman quickly got up and walked down the traffic trench to deliver the order.  "Your Excellency, Mr. Dazuo, the front is Jinda Village, but the stone bridge on the river has been destroyed, probably by the Chinese." When the reconnaissance team arrived at the north side of the river.  An adjutant reported to the Japanese colonel leading the team.  The Japanese colonel observed with a telescope for a while, and saw that his reconnaissance team was waiting by the river. He ordered: "Order the reconnaissance team to find a way to cross the river immediately and enter the village for reconnaissance!" "Hai." The Japanese adjutant immediately lowered his head and responded, then turned around.  Leave.  After receiving the order, the Japanese stagnant on the north bank of the river began to take action.  "Platoon leader, look, the kid really wants to cross the river. There is no boat nearby and the kid doesn't have the tools to cross the river. Let's see how they cross the river." An infantryman beside Liu Jinkui whispered when he saw this.  Liu Jinkui did not speak, but silently observed every move of the Japanese with his telescope.  Through the telescope.  He could already clearly see the faces of every Japanese soldier.  Years of combat experience made him understand.  The next battle will be a very difficult one.  The difference in strength between the enemy and ours is too big. Even if there is a second platoon cooperating with them to defend, the Japanese strength is still several times theirs.  But as an iron-blooded veteran.  Liu Jinkui will not feel timid because of this. As long as he still has one soldier under his command, he will lead him to continue fighting until the last moment.  Because he is the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xinghan, an iron-blooded veteran who has experienced too many bloody battles.  Soon, the Japanese began to cross the river, but the way they crossed the river was beyond Liu Jinkui's expectation.  The Japanese actually found a shoal in the river and poured water directly over. As a result, the role of this small river was much lower than Liu Jinkui had predicted.  At best, it can buffer the speed and vigor of the Japanese attack.  It seems.  The Japanese are far more familiar with the terrain than the Japanese.  However, Liu Jinkui did not feel frustrated. Instead, he took a Garand semi-automatic rifle from the rifle next to him and quietly aimed at the Japanese second lieutenant who was leading the team.  It is very simple to identify the Japanese second lieutenant. The saber worn on his waist has become the best proof of his identity.  Since they were wading across the river, it only took a few minutes for more than 60 Japanese scouts to cross the river, quickly spread out, and search in a fan-shaped manner toward Jinda Village.  Liu Jinkui took aim at the target and pulled the trigger. There was a gunshot, and a hot bullet flew into the head of the Japanese second lieutenant at high speed.  The Japanese second lieutenant fell down at the sound.  The other Japanese soldiers were startled by the sudden gunfire, when a Japanese soldier next to the squad leader sounded in panic.  The originally silent Jinda Village suddenly rang out with intensive gunshots, especially the popping sound like a chainsaw, which made these hastily formed Japanese troops who had never fought against the Chinese ** team feel terrified.  Dense and hot bullets poured out like a torrential rain, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers fell down screaming on the spot.  &nbsp; The remaining Japanese soldiers immediately fell down, looking for suitable bunkers while shooting forward.  But all obstacles near the river bank that could be used as bunkers have been cleared by Liu Jinkui and the officers and soldiers.  The Japanese soldiers were so small in number that their firepower could not compare with Liu Jinkui's infantry platoon. After a series of shootings, the Japanese soldiers who had nowhere to hide on the river bank were killed and wounded.  The remaining dozen people turned around and ran away in a hurry, trying to escape across the north bank along the way they came.  But it has become the best target for riflemen and machine gunners.  When the last gunshot fell, the last Japanese soldier who was about to escape across the north bank fell into the river and became a floating corpse floating in the water.  This small-scale battle only lasted ten minutes from the beginning to the end, and the Japanese commander who led the team witnessed the entire process.  There was not even time to mobilize troops for reinforcements.  In less than ten minutes, a reconnaissance team of more than 60 people was wiped out?  And the other party may not even have a single casualty.  The Japanese commander who led the team put down the telescope in his hand with a heavy heart, turned around and walked around, lost in thought.  The adjutant said with great sadness: "Your Excellency, Colonel, there is a Chinese blocking force on the other side. These cunning Chinese people actually deliberately let the reconnaissance team cross the river and suddenly ambush them. "I implore you to immediately order the troops to launch a full-scale attack to eliminate them and for  The more than 60 imperial warriors who died in the battle took revenge. " "Second Lieutenant Tachihara, have you noticed that the firepower of this China Army ambush force is quite strong. I judge that their strength is at least no less than two squadrons." The Japanese Colonel frowned.  He frowned and said: "Immediately send someone to notify the artillery squadron and other follow-up troops to speed up the march immediately and come to meet us." "Yes." Second Lieutenant Tachihara understood that the commander of the regiment planned to wait for the follow-up main force to arrive before attacking, and did not dare to attack  If he said anything more, he quickly bowed his head in response, then turned around and took the order to leave.  "Platoon leader, are you afraid of the Japs? Why has there been no movement?" Half an hour later, the Japs still had not attacked, and a rifleman asked Liu Jinkui doubtfully.  "No, I think the Japanese are frightened by us and don't know our reality. They are waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive." Liu Jinkui said to the point.  After saying that, he turned around and lay down in the trench, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and said: "You guys keep an eye on me, I'll smoke a cigarette first." At this time, a soldier in charge of liaison  He ran over along the trench and said to Liu Jinkui: "Platoon leader, there are more than a thousand Japs on the second platoon side. Just like us, the Japs retreated after being ambushed by the second platoon leader.  We went back, but there’s been no movement yet.” Liu Jinkui smoked and said, “Hey, that old boy Wang Mazi is as shrewd as a monkey. He must have built up the momentum and frightened the little devil.”  Platoon leader, why are you saying the same thing as Platoon Leader Wang? He also said that you are as smart as a monkey," the liaison soldier said.  "Go and get off my back, tell Wang Mazi that the Japs may want to bring up the artillery team later, and remind him that it's better to change the position of the machine gun positions to avoid being bombarded by the Japs.  Liu Jinkui ordered with a smile and a curse.  "Yes." The liaison soldier saluted, turned around and left with his back bent.  On the Japanese position, in less than an hour, the Japanese soldiers, who strictly abided by infantry drills, dug out an attack position that was both offensive and defensive.  And it is constantly being improved and repaired.  The Japanese army's wing headquarters has also been set up, and several Japanese soldiers are camouflaging above the headquarters.  Inside the headquarters, the Japanese colonel was lying in front of the map studying the battle plan.  A communications soldier stood up at this time and saluted him: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there is a call from the military region headquarters, ordering us to enter Tokyo in three hours and join the Tokyo garrison. Otherwise, Colonel Imoto will commit seppuku.  Apologize." Colonel Jing Yuan stood up from the map with a dark face, waved his hand towards the communications soldier, and asked the adjutant: "Second Lieutenant Tachihara, how long will it take for the artillery team to arrive?" "Your Excellency, the artillery team is already far away.  We are less than five kilometers away and are on our way. We should be able to join the battle in half an hour." Second Lieutenant Tachihara replied quickly.  "Well, order the First Battalion to prepare for the attack immediately." Colonel Jing Yuan ordered.  "Hai!" Second Lieutenant Tachihara bowed his head quickly.  Half an hour passed quickly, and a Japanese artillery squadron equipped with four Type 92 infantry cannons finally arrived, and built an artillery position as quickly as possible, and calibrated the shooting points. ?"Captain, the artillery squadron is in position and ready to fire." Second Lieutenant Tachihara ordered Colonel Imoto.  Colonel Jing Yuan immediately ordered: "Fire the artillery immediately. After fifteen minutes, stop the artillery fire. The first battalion will launch an attack. We must take down Jinda Village in one fell swoop and defeat the enemy in front of us." "Hai!" After receiving the order, the four people who were ready were ready.  The Type 92 infantry cannons opened fire immediately.  "Boom, boom, boom!" After the muffled sound of four cannons being ejected, four shells roared towards Jinda Village, wrapped in dazzling fireballs and trailing long red tail flames.  Liu Jinkui looked up at the four roaring balls of fire, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hide!"

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 544: The Blocking War Outside Tokyo (2)

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four deafening explosions fell on Liu Jinkui's position outside the village, causing a cloud of mud and debris to fly all over the sky.  . A piece of mud wrapped in rotting grass fell on the helmet above Liu Jinkui's head, making a thumping sound.  Liu Jinkui shook his head and looked at the other comrades in the trenches. Fortunately, this was only the first round of shelling by the Japanese. The shells fell outside the trenches and did not cause any harm to them.  Not long after, the second round of bombardment by the Japanese came as promised, and the booming explosion sounded again.  Firelight and gunpowder smoke intertwined in Liu Jinkui’s position.  A soldier was unfortunately hit in the arm by raging shrapnel, and blood immediately flowed across the arm. Medical soldiers soon moved to his side and bandaged him under gunfire.  In fifteen minutes, the Japanese fired no fewer than ten salvos in total, pouring dozens of explosive bombs at Liu Jinkui and his team's position.  However, because there were too few cannons and their power was not high, they failed to cause much damage to [***]. The only thing left were a few scary-looking bomb craters outside the trench fortifications.  As soon as the artillery fire stopped, hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the north bank of the river swarmed in and launched a charge towards Liu Jinkui's platoon position.  A dozen light and heavy machine guns of a Japanese heavy machine gun squadron began to roar first, doing their best to provide fire support for their attacking troops.  Although the continuous firepower and power of the Japanese machine guns are far inferior to that of the mg34 general-purpose machine gun known as Hitler's chainsaw, more than a dozen of them opened fire at the same time.  It was still somewhat powerful. Bullets kept whizzing past Liu Jinkui and the others, and there were also bullets hitting the bunker outside the trench in front of them.  Dust and smoke fill the air, and grass clippings fly.  Most of the Japs waded directly across the river from the shoal just now, while other Japs mobilized several small sampans from nowhere and began to cross the river.  This time the Japs came with great force and large numbers. Liu Jinkui did not wait for them to completely cross the river before attacking. That would have been very risky. Once his own firepower could not suppress the opponent, the Japs would probably break into the position.  At that time, our own numerical disadvantage will cause great disadvantages in close combat.  So, not long after the Japanese started crossing the river, Liu Jinkui raised his gun into the air and pulled the trigger.  The sound of gunfire was an order, and ten general-purpose machine guns, dozens of Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns opened fire.  Formed a dense and crisscrossing firepower network, covering the attacking Japanese.  Da Da  The violent and dense firepower shot, and the squeezed ghost soldiers could not avoid it, and fell down.  The Japanese who were crossing the river on sampans were also fired upon, and they fell into the river screaming.  At Liu Jinkui’s signal, two 60mm mortars also fired.  The grenades were smashed one after another towards the Japanese army.  Boom, another grenade fell, landing right next to several Japanese soldiers who had just crossed the river. The raging explosion immediately knocked all the Japanese soldiers to the ground.  "Thud, tug, tug" A mg34 general-purpose machine gun deployed on the position was like a murderous snake that kept spitting out its tongue of fire under the control of the machine gunner. Japanese soldiers kept falling under its bursts of fire.  After suffering no less than fifty casualties, the Japanese finally came ashore, roaring and charging towards the [***] position with guns in hand.  At this time, two grenade launchers and two shoulder-fired bazookas that had not fired suddenly opened fire.  Suddenly it caused a lot of killers to the devils, combined with the mortar, and fiercely attacked the mad attack.  The submachine gunners and bombardiers also fired with all their strength, and the Japanese who rushed up fell into a pool of blood in pieces.  On the other side, in the Japanese army's wing headquarters.  Seeing this, Colonel Jing Yuan angrily punched the nearby wooden support with his fist, "Baga Yalu, Baga!" Seeing the heavy casualties of the First Battalion, the first attack ended in failure, Colonel Jing Yuan felt in his heart  The anger is understandable.  When the Japs receded like a tide, Liu Jinkui gasped and reloaded his pistol magazine, and said at the top of his voice: "Brothers, look at it, this is how you have to beat the little Japs."  Damn it, the bullets will leave holes in your body, and few of you will survive!" At this moment, a red flare suddenly rose from the east. Liu Jinkui's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he immediately shouted: "First squad leader,  Immediately take someone to look at the second row. If you need reinforcements, join the battle immediately!" "Yes!" A squad leader responded and led more than ten officers and soldiers along the trench.Open.  ……………… To the west of Tokyo, in the Wako area.  Wang Longxiang's two airborne regiments built a two-kilometer-long defense line here, and the area they guarded was ten kilometers long.  In this area of ??more than ten kilometers, they specially selected bridges, rivers and other important traffic passes for defense, making full use of the terrain, deploying defenses layer by layer in a ladder type, and resisting step by step.  The tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements coming from Nagoya and other areas west of Tokyo were blocked by them and could not move forward at all.  In front of the positions of the defense troops of each airborne regiment, Japanese corpses were everywhere.  From time to time, our own fighter planes attacking Tokyo passed by in the sky, carrying out as many air strikes as possible on the Japanese reinforcements.  To a certain extent, it alleviated the pressure faced by Wang Longxiang's department.  In a Japanese village that seems to be dilapidated and almost in ruins, Wang Longxiang's headquarters is located in it.  About a security company is stationed here.  In the headquarters, Wang Longxiang and an adjutant were gathering in front of the map to discuss the military situation.  At this time, an airborne major came in dusty, and saluted Wang Longxiang: "Commander, we have repelled the little Japs again. These Japs seem crazy, but their firepower is much higher than those Japs we fought in North Korea and Northeast China before."  But the quality of the soldiers is not comparable." Wang Longxiang said: "Of course, the people we fought against were all Japanese active troops, well-trained elite troops, but now these are just little devils.  The combat effectiveness of our hastily assembled reserves and a large number of civilians is naturally incomparable. However, you should not be too careless. You must be fully prepared to face the enemy. Before Tokyo City is captured, we will definitely fight.  No Japanese soldiers can pass through us. " "Yes, commander, please rest assured, as long as our airborne regiment is here, the little Japanese soldiers can't even move forward," the major assured.  ……………… In Tokyo City, the basement headquarters of the Japanese Army Base Camp.  Ishihara Wanji's face was extremely solemn. Itagaki Seishiro next to him said: "Ishihara-kun, the situation continues to deteriorate. The elite Chinese army that invaded the city from the east of the city has advanced no less than three kilometers. Although their  The offensive was temporarily blocked by us, but our casualties were too great. The reinforcements from the north and west were blocked by the Chinese blocking troops. If it continues like this, the war situation will continue to deteriorate. I suggest,  We must persuade His Majesty the Emperor one more time and ask him to agree to break out. I will organize the last elite force to cover his breakout!" Ishihara smiled for a moment, nodded and said: "Itagaki-kun, please enter the palace with me.  " "Okay." Itagaki Seishiro nodded in agreement.  Under the escort of the guards, the two people came out of the basement, boarded an armed armored vehicle, and drove towards the Japanese Imperial Palace at the risk of being bombed.  Half an hour later, the two met Hirohito in Emperor Hirohito’s palace.  "Your Majesty, the war situation is constantly deteriorating. I humbly ask you to agree to evacuate Tokyo immediately." Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro knelt down and said.  Emperor Hirohito looked at the two of them and said lightly: "My dear friends, don't you know that President Roosevelt of the United States has officially announced to the world that the United States has declared war on China? As long as the Americans declare war on the Chinese, then  The Chinese will surely fail, and victory must belong to our Japanese Empire! " "However, Your Majesty, the main force of the American Pacific Fleet was attacked by Chinese underwater wolves in our waters and suffered heavy losses. Within a short period of time,  The local troops cannot arrive. Therefore, they cannot quench our thirst. Before the main force of the Americans arrives, we still need to bear the pressure from the Chinese army alone. The current situation is deteriorating.  Casualties are increasing by tens of thousands every day, and the fall of Tokyo has become an inevitable result. Your Majesty, you really can't stay here any longer. As long as you are safe and sound, we can continue to hold on and wait for the arrival of the Americans.  If something unexpected happens to you, it will be a devastating blow to the Japanese Empire," Ishihara Wanji patiently persuaded.  "Withdraw from Tokyo? Withdraw to where?" Emperor Hirohito said in confusion: "If I leave Tokyo, Tokyo will inevitably fall instantly. Once the main force on the front line learns that our capital has been captured, they can still insist on fighting with China.  [***] Team fighting? " Ishihara Wanji lowered his head silently. He could think of these situations, but relatively speaking, they didn't.Choose.  Itagaki Seishiro continued: "Your Majesty, the fall of Tokyo City will certainly have a blow to the morale of our frontline troops, but as long as they know that Your Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound, they will be able to regain their fighting spirit. As long as we can persist until the U.S. reinforcements arrive, we will  If we can launch the most violent counterattack against the Chinese and regain the territory we are going to, then victory will definitely belong to us." Under the hard persuasion of Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji, Emperor Hirohito was obviously moved and asked.  "Two dear friends, tell me the truth, can Tokyo City really not survive?" Ishihara Wanji solemnly nodded and said: "Your Majesty, our reinforcements from the Nagoya and Sendai areas were all defeated by the Chinese blocking troops.  Blocked, the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties, the Guards Division is now reduced to ten, and it is really impossible to hold on. "

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 545: Emperor Hirohito is running away

    After careful consideration, Emperor Hirohito finally nodded and agreed to the breakout proposal.  . Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro each breathed a sigh of relief and began to make arrangements for a breakout and retreat.  When the real death was about to come, Emperor Hirohito, a cunning ghost who had clamored to live and die with Tokyo not long ago, finally couldn't bear to leave his subjects who fought for him and ran away.  After coming out of the palace, Ishihara Wanji said to Itagaki Seishiro: "Itagaki-kun, with our current strength and the enemy-friendly environment outside the city, we must not risk a breakout during the day. Otherwise, once the Chinese air force is recruited, we may  "So, I think we should choose to break out tonight. It's up to you to decide the direction of the breakout and the troops that will cover the breakout." "Okay, don't worry, leave it to me, I will take care of it."  It's okay." Itagaki Seishiro said.  ………… North of the city, the defensive position of Liu Jinkui’s platoon.  In the past few hours, the Japanese launched several rounds of fierce attacks on them and the second row position not far away.  Although in the end the soldiers were able to repel them one by one with their desperate fighting, Liu Jinkui's platoon and the neighboring second platoon all suffered heavy casualties.  In the trenches, there was no longer the relaxed atmosphere of the battle. Liu Jinkui also lost his temper. Half of his face was bitten by shrapnel, and the hot shrapnel left a very leaking wound on it.  Carrying a submachine gun belonging to a fallen soldier in one hand, he walked around the trenches, inspiring the morale and willpower of his surviving subordinates.  When they were alive, he would pat their shoulders, or help them adjust their military caps and military looks. When they were dead, Liu Jinkui put a cigarette between their fingers, and used his military cap to change their young orders.  Heartbroken faces were covered.  "Er Gouzi, have the casualties been counted?" Liu Jinkui walked to a machine gun fire point and asked loudly.  "Platoon leader, half of the four infantry squads are dead, half of the surviving ones are injured, the artillery squad and the machine gun squad are all gone!!" A sad voice came.  A look of sorrow flashed in Liu Jinkui's eyes, and then he returned to normal and said loudly: "Go out and bring some machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, rocket launchers, etc., as long as they are still usable, bring them back to me for later use."  They avenge their dead brothers!" Several soldiers walked along the trenches toward the ruins of civilian houses that were covered by Japanese artillery fire.  In the previous battle, the Japanese artillery destroyed the machine gun squad and artillery squad deployed in the buildings in the village.  Most of the Japanese buildings are made of wood. Although they have been reinforced, they are far from being as strong as brick walls made of reinforced concrete. The members of the artillery squad and machine gun squad who caused great damage to the Japanese were unfortunately buried alive.  When a few soldiers dug through the rubble and dug out the dusty general-purpose machine guns, they unexpectedly discovered that there were survivors in the machine gun squad.  A disgraced machine gunner spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed: "You bunch of bastards, I was buried alive by the little devils. You haven't come here for so long. I really want to see me suffocated to death!"  The soldier was not angry, but hugged the foul-mouthed machine gunner tightly with tears in his eyes.  "Platoon leader, Zhao Damao and the others are still alive!" A soldier cried loudly.  "Damn it, I knew you were destined to die! The Japs were so aggressive just now that they thought you were dead. No one came to take a look." Liu Jinkui knocked the surviving machine gunners hard with his hands.  wearing a steel helmet and said overjoyed.  "Platoon leader, if you don't come again, our brothers will really be suffocated to death." The soldier named Zhao Damao gasped and leaned in the trench.  "You guys are just fucking counting cats. You're not going to die. Come and drink some water and have a rest. The little devil will come later and continue to beat him as hard as I can with your stupid stuff.  Liu Jinkui took a kettle from a soldier and handed it to them.  Zhao Damao drank a lot of water, made a fist with his right hand and hit his chest hard to show that he could do it.  Liu Jinkui nodded with tears in his eyes and turned away.  At this moment, a soldier ran over: "Platoon commander, the company commander is here." "Company commander?" Liu Jinkui and his subordinates stood up quickly, and saw a captain officer leaving with two guards.  come over.  "Company commander!" Liu Jinkui took the lead in saluting.  "Okay, don't be polite. Brothers, you have fought hard in this battle. It will be dark soon. I am here to tell you that you must be vigilant to prevent the Japanese from attacking at night. Because our  The attacking troops were about to attack the Japanese Imperial Palace. The Japanese jumped over the wall in a hurry.He must be eager to defeat us, pass through here, and rush to Tokyo for reinforcements.  We won’t let them succeed!  It must be driven here like a nail for me.  " Captain Captain said. When Liu Jinkui and others heard that they were about to attack the Japanese Emperor's palace, their eyes were full of excitement. Liu Jinkui said: "Captain, it's okay to hold on. See if you can give it to your subordinates.  I'll send some more reinforcements, even an infantry squad.  " Seeing that the captain and company commander looked wrong, Liu Jinkui quickly lowered the conditions: "Half a squad will do, but if it doesn't work, a machine gun team can do it, right?  " The captain and company commander said resolutely: "Liu Jinkui, you fucking listen to me clearly, let alone a machine gun team, I don't even have a rifle. ??????????????????????????? But, I’m going to say something ugly earlier, if you don’t stick with me for less than twelve hours, don’t blame me for turning against you!  "    "yes!  " Forced by the company commander's power, Liu Jinkui quickly stood up and responded with an upright attitude. The captain and company commander turned around and left with satisfaction. A guard who followed him whispered to Liu Jinkui: "Liu Platoon Commander, not the company commander, not the company commander.  We are the only ones with the company commander. The fourth and fifth companies have already been exhausted.  Liu Jinkui's heart sank when he heard this, and he shouted: "Go away, company commander!"  " Hearing the sound, the captain and company commander turned around and looked at Liu Jinkui. Both sides saw determination in each other's eyes. After raising their hands to salute Liu Jinkui, the battle-experienced captain and company commander resolutely turned around and left.  According to an interview Liu Jinkui participated in after the war, that was the last time he met their company commander in Tokyo. In order to ensure that Emperor Hirohito could successfully break through, Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro did not tell too many people about this decision.  Instead, they quietly and secretly began to mobilize the last elite troops they could muster. Night finally fell, and the fierce fighting in Tokyo City took a break, and the intensive gunfire that had been almost deafening for a whole day finally came to an end.  Disappeared. The devastated city of Tokyo groaned in pain under the cover of night. Countless Japanese who had lost their homes and loved ones were sobbing in the dark, licking their wounds. The Emperor's Guards, who were always protecting the Emperor, suddenly mobilized under the cover of night.  , protecting Emperor Hirohito's family and quietly boarded two military armored vehicles that had been prepared. At the same time, more than 3,000 elite troops mobilized by Itagaki Seishiro also completed their assembly in the northwest of the city, wearing a military uniform.  The Emperor bestowed the official sword on the general. He stood in front of the three thousand elites with stern eyes. After walking back and forth twice, he said in a deep voice: "Brave warriors of the Japanese Empire, tonight, you will become the most outstanding in the history of the Yamato nation."  Soldiers, whether alive or dead, your names will forever be passed down in the history of the Yamato nation.  You are His Majesty the Emperor’s most courageous soldiers and most loyal people.  Use your blood and the sword in your hands to destroy everything of the Chinese people, fight for His Majesty the Emperor, and fight for the entire Yamato nation!     Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!  Long live the Japanese Empire!  Long live the Yamato nation!  " Under the guidance of Itagaki Seishiro's extremely inflammatory words, more than 3,000 Japanese elites who survived the war raised their arms and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!  Long live the Japanese Empire!  Long live the Yamato nation!  "At this time, the Emperor's Guards escorted Emperor Hirohito's motorcade and arrived. After Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kanji looked at each other, they immediately personally commanded these three thousand elites to act as a pioneer and take advantage of the gap in the city wall that was blasted in the northwest direction of the city.  Quietly leaving the city at night. The breakout route and direction chosen by the more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were carefully chosen by Itagaki Seishiro. It was the weak point at the junction of the two directions of the [***] encirclement outside the city. However, there were about ten.  A few minutes later, such a large-scale Japanese attack on the crowd was still discovered by the [***] sentry. After the gunshots were fired, it quickly evolved into a fierce capture of 3,000 elite soldiers and firepower.  The [***] interceptor force suffered heavy casualties. On the battleship Huo Qubing, Wang Tiehan was alarmed by the adjutant’s hurried footsteps. “Adjutant Niu, what’s going on?  "Wang Tiehan asked. "The commander-in-chief is not good. The airborne regiment and the third division in the north of the city received calls at the same time. An elite Japanese army suddenly broke out from the northwest of the city. The two sides are currently fighting fiercely. Wang Longxiang and the third division are both there.  Emergency reinforcements were dispatched to the fighting site to reinforce.  "The adjutant said. "The Japanese are breaking out at this time?  "Wang Tiehan frowned immediately when he heard this.: "The little devil really knows how to pick the time. Our troops have been fighting for a day and have just stopped. It is the time when they are extremely sleepy and hungry and their vigilance is at their lowest. He is really cunning." "Yes, the little devil is too cunning.  "Yes." Adjutant Niu nodded in agreement.  "But why did the little devil suddenly break out tonight?" Wang Tiehan suddenly thought of an extremely important thing, and his face changed drastically: "Is it because Emperor Hirohito, this old devil, wants to run away? Yes, that must be the case, our army  Having already entered the city, their reinforcements were blocked by my peripheral troops. Seeing that Tokyo City was about to be lost, Hirohito, an old Japanese soldier, would definitely not be willing to sit back and wait for death." After a pause, Wang Tiehan ordered Adjutant Niu in a stern tone.  Immediately order all the troops to launch an attack into Tokyo City. The airborne troops and the third division must be stopped at all costs, and no one of them can break out!" PS: Fourth update!

    Wang Tiehan's order was conveyed to Wang Longxiang and other troops close to the direction of the Japanese breakout.  They, who were already trying their best to stop the Japanese, dispatched their best troops to the battle site for reinforcements.  At the same time, the peripheral Japanese reinforcements coming from Sendai, Nagoya and other directions also launched the most violent attacks on Japan in accordance with Ishihara Kanji's prior instructions.  On the battlefield in Jinda Village in the north of the city.  Before Liu Jinkui and the brothers in the platoon had time to have dinner, the two soldiers on guard fired early warning shots.  Liu Jinkui led Zhao Damao and other machine gunners to the front-line trench in the center of the position, and ordered an infantryman: "Send flares to see where the little Japs are." The soldier responded and began to take out the special weapon he carried with him.  Pistol and flare, not long after, a flare emitting blazing white light slowly rose into the sky.  The intense white light instantly illuminated the black night sky as if it were daytime.  By the light of the flare, Liu Jinkui, who had already raised his telescope, could clearly see the situation on the other side of the river.  It was dark and full of Japanese soldiers, coming from all over the mountains and plains.  After taking a breath of air-conditioning, Liu Jinkui put down the telescope and said: "It seems that the little Japanese are coming for real." "Brothers, the time has come to fight to the death with little Japan and serve Commander-in-Chief Zhang. Let's kill one tonight.  If you have enough money, you can make a profit by killing two of them. Let's fight to the end with his stupidity!" Liu Jinkui showed a determined murderous look in his eyes, turned over and leaned on the trench, pulled out his own gun, and said loudly.  At this moment, a soldier came running quickly along the trench.  "Who is the supreme commander here?" "I am, I am the platoon leader here." Liu Jinkui responded confused.  "Are you the platoon leader?" The visitor looked at Liu Jinkui's military uniform and said, "Immediately take your people three kilometers west from here to intercept any Japanese troops that may appear. Even if they are birds, you can't let them fly.  Come over, do you understand? " "But our company commander's order is to block the Japanese reinforcements here," Liu Jinkui asked in confusion.  "You don't need to worry about it. Just do it if your superiors tell you to do it. This order was conveyed directly from the division headquarters, and your company commander can't be found." The visitor said.  "Then we leave, what will happen to the Japanese here?" Liu Jinkui asked.  "It doesn't matter if we let them pass. Several of our divisions have already entered Tokyo. The Japanese have begun to defeat." After the man finished speaking, he stopped lingering and left quickly along the trenches.  Liu Jinkui did not hesitate, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, follow me and evacuate quickly!" After saying this, he stood up and hid his waist and evacuated quickly along the trench.  The more than thirty surviving officers and soldiers of the platoon also followed him and evacuated.  Liu Jinkui and dozens of his subordinates had just retreated less than 500 meters when they encountered a group of friendly troops. After asking carefully, they turned out to be Wang Mazi's second platoon.  "Wang Mazi, why did you withdraw?" Liu Jinkui asked curiously.  "Why did you withdraw? I received the order from the division headquarters." said the second lieutenant platoon leader named Wang Mazi.  "Same, what is your mission?" Liu Jinkui asked.  "Go three kilometers to the west and intercept any Japanese troops that may pass by." Wang Mazi said.  "That's great. I'm worried about the lack of troops. Our mission is the same. Hurry up and join forces and go together." Liu Jinkui said.  "To join forces, you have to let me take responsibility." Wang Mazi said.  "Stop talking nonsense. We can't complete the mission. If we let the Japanese go, the division commander will have to kill both of us. Let's go quickly. The Japanese reinforcements will cross the river soon." Liu Jinkui pushed Wang Mazi.  He took the lead and ran forward.  Wang Mazi cursed and followed with his troops.  For these elite warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles, it only took less than twenty minutes to reach the distance of three kilometers.  They chose a slope guarding the highway and set up machine guns and other light and heavy weapons on both sides.  Four scouts were dispatched to survey the surrounding terrain and whether there were any enemies.  "Will there be any kid passing by here?" Wang Mazi lay down behind the slope.  Somewhat questioningly.  Liu Jinkui raised his ears attentively and said: "Listen, you can already hear the intensive sound of gunfire and explosions here. There should be a fierce exchange of fire between the enemy and our armies not far ahead. There must be Japanese soldiers passing by here. Otherwise, the division will  It is absolutely impossible for the Ministry to directly send people to convey orders to us. "It turns out that almost all the troops of the Third Division have been used, and the siege troops are covering Emperor Hirohito's breakout force in the city and north of the city.The Japanese counterattack forces fought together.  The blocking force faced the last three thousand elites of the Japanese and the Japanese Emperor's guards. The incident occurred suddenly in the dark night, causing extremely heavy casualties.  Seeing that the gap could no longer be closed, the commander of the Third Division hurriedly sent people to the blocking position in the north of the city to see if there were any remaining surviving troops.  Therefore, the two remnant soldiers Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi were removed. They may not know that they are already the last blocking force of the third division.  It was also the last obstacle for Japanese Emperor Hirohito and Ishihara Kanji and other important ministers to escape.  Time passed quietly in the dark night. About ten minutes later, the scouts sent by Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi brought back shocking news.  "Platoon leader, there are about three hundred little Japs coming towards us." The scout panted, which showed how fast he was running.  "More than three hundred?" Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi looked at each other. This little devil really didn't matter to them. After all, they now had a whole platoon together.  "Yes, there are more than three hundred people and a few armored vehicles." The scout nodded.  "And there are armored vehicles?! Darling, this must be a big shot of the little Japs trying to break through." Wang Mazi hit the nail on the head.  Liu Jinkui frowned and said: "Wang Mazi, all my rocket soldiers were sacrificed, and the two bazookas are gone. Where are yours?" "Fortunately, I left a bazooka and a grenade launcher.  , Old Liu, you are such a damn prodigal!" Wang Mazi said proudly.  "Okay, don't talk nonsense. We'll use grenades and bazookas to deal with these little Japs later, but we must let the machine gunners fire first. When the Japs get close, the Japs in particular may use armored vehicles to clear the way.  We will use the bazooka specifically to attack their armored vehicles. There are barren grasslands on both sides here and rivers crisscrossing them. If the Japanese want to escape, they have no choice but to abandon their vehicles and run away." Liu Jinkui gave careful instructions.  "Damn it, didn't we agree that I will be the leader and you will be the deputy?" Although Wang Mazi complained, he still ordered his men to do as Liu Jinkui said.  Emperor Hirohito, Empress Ryoko and their daughters were riding in an armored car. They were beating with fear when Ishihara's smiling voice suddenly came from outside the car.  Opening the door of the armored vehicle and looking at Ishihara Wanji who was trotting all the way following the armored vehicle, Emperor Hirohito asked worriedly: "Ishihara-kun, how are you? Are we out of danger?" Ishihara Wanji panted and said: "Your Majesty  , It should be true. We have broken through three Chinese blockades and defeated thousands of Chinese troops. We should be safe. " Emperor Hirohito breathed a deep sigh of relief. In the hail of bullets just now, as he was.  The armored vehicle he was driving was hit by the dense bullets.  The banging of the defensive armor outside the car made him, his wife and children break out in a cold sweat.  Ishihara Kanji knew that if the defensive armor of the armored vehicle His Majesty the Emperor was riding had not been specially thickened, it would have been penetrated by such a dense rain of bullets just now, because the Chinese firepower was too fierce.  However, Ishihara Kanji also felt very troubled by His Majesty the Emperor's persistence in refusing to get out of the car and flee with the army on foot.  If these armored vehicles were not too obvious, they might not have to pay such a high price to break through the encirclement.  The three thousand elites before the breakout, together with Seishiro Itagaki who commanded the battle, almost lost contact, leaving only more than three hundred of His Majesty the Emperor's elite guards.  However, if Itagaki Seishiro had not personally led the troops to the rear to block the Chinese pursuers, they would probably catch up soon.  Thinking of this, Ishihara Wanji couldn't help but urge the guards to speed up their march, hoping to escape from this dangerous area as soon as possible.  "Wang Mazi, they are here, let's compare marksmanship?" Liu Jinkui already had a Garand semi-automatic rifle in his hand.  "Beat it, the two little Japs in front are holding submachine guns. They look quite smart. You are on the right and we are on the left. Wait until they enter a hundred or ten meters and shoot at the same time." Wang Mazi also took a gun from a soldier next to him.  He opened the safety channel with his semi-automatic rifle.  "These little devils look really extraordinary. They all seem to be equipped with automatic weapons." Liu Jinkui discovered the clue.  "It's true, maybe these are really the guards of the little devil and the big shot." Wang Mazi did not argue, but said seriously.  "It doesn't matter who the hell is coming. Even the Japanese Emperor's guards, we have to kill these idiots. We must not let them pass. Get ready!" After saying that, Liu Jinkuibiao picked up his gun and started to aim and lock it.  .  "Papa" twiceThe crisp sound of gunfire pierced the quiet night sky, and two hot bullets penetrated the heads of the two Japanese soldiers almost at the same time.  "Puff!" The two Japanese soldiers fell down in response.  The sound of gunfire was an order, and sixty or seventy machine gunners and riflemen who had been waiting for a long time opened fire one after another.  The dense firepower gave the Japanese who were caught off guard a head-on blow, knocking down all the dozen or so elite Japanese soldiers who were opening the way in front of them on the spot.  There was a loud sound of gunfire, and the Japanese who followed up were shocked, but they quickly reacted, spread out, and began to engage in fierce firepower exchanges with the sudden appearance of the enemy.  The strength of the Japanese Emperor's guards to react so quickly and quickly organize a counterattack is evident.  PS: There will be another chapter later, it will be out before twelve o'clock.

    The sudden burst of gunfire not only shocked Ishihara Wanji, but also shocked Emperor Hirohito and his wife and children who had just been secretly grateful to have escaped.  . The armored vehicle they were riding in came to a screeching halt and stopped moving forward. Sitting in the vehicle, Emperor Hirohito and Empress Ryoko could clearly feel that there were not only dense bullets hitting the outside of the armored vehicle.  A series of banging sounds were made.  Having just escaped and was intercepted by enemy troops, Emperor Hirohito's mood was simply too tragic to be expressed in words.  Not knowing what was going on outside, he didn’t dare to get out of the car, for fear that a blind bullet would pass through his body and end his sinful life.  At this moment, Ishihara Wanji hid outside Emperor Hirohito’s car, quietly observing the enemy troops that suddenly appeared in front.  Judging from the scale of firepower in the battle between the two sides, the cunning and shrewd Ishihara Kanji quickly discovered that the opponent was not a large force, but probably just a small force.  This made him secretly rejoice, and then summoned the guard commander to tell him: "Mr. Xiao Lin, this is a small force of the China Army, and it may have just arrived here and has not had time to build defenses. Please immediately  Using the armored vehicles as the lead, organize the troops to defeat the pursuers before they arrive, and cover His Majesty the Emperor's successful breakout. "Hai!" The Japanese commander bowed his head in response, and immediately began to order the infantry to strengthen fire cover.  , an armored vehicle that opened the road in front rumbled forward and lost.  The Japanese guards were in groups of three or five, taking turns to cover and follow with armored vehicles. From time to time they raised their submachine guns and fired fiercely.  The dense bullets hit the front armor of the Japanese armored vehicle, bursting out a series of dazzling sparks.  The four mg34 general-purpose machine guns were extremely powerful, and the dense bullets they fired soon penetrated several holes in the Japanese's front armor.  However, the Japanese armored vehicles did not stop because of this and continued to rumble towards them.  Wang Mazi personally carried a bazooka rocket launcher, and with the help of Liu Jinkui, he aimed at the approaching Japanese armored vehicles.  "It's almost done, what a dog says!" Liu Jinkui urged from the side.  When the Japanese armored vehicle was less than fifty meters away from them, Wang Mazi fired the rocket launcher.  "Qiu!" There was a sharp sound, and a large ball of flames flew toward the Japanese armored vehicle.  "Boom!" There was a loud noise. At such a close range, the Bazooka rocket that could have penetrated a 130 mm thick homogeneous steel plate easily penetrated the Japanese armored vehicle, which was only about 10 mm thick.  The front armor is riddled with holes.  There was a violent explosion in an instant, and hot fire shot into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.  Several elite Japanese guards who were following around were also affected and were blown away screaming.  The remaining Japanese soldiers lost the cover of the armored vehicles and were felled to the ground like wheat by the heavy rain of bullets from the [***] machine gunners who did not stop.  Ishihara Wanji The Japanese commander stared at everything in front of him in stunned silence. The Chinese actually had anti-tank weapons.  This is something they never expected.  What made Ishihara Wan'er even more desperate was still behind, a familiar and harsh whistling sound resounded through the night sky.  "No, it's a grenade fired from a grenade!" the Japanese commander's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed.  "Boom!" There was another violent explosion. This small grenade accurately landed among the Japanese attacking crowd within a range of less than 100 meters, blowing seven or eight elite Japanese soldiers into the sky.  Although they still number close to two squadrons, in the dangerous and fierce breakout battle just now, all the heavy weapons have been forced to be discarded.  Only the submachine guns and pistols carried by the officers and soldiers of the Emperor's Guards were still on their bodies. They originally thought they had fought their way out of the sky, but now they were unable to fight back against this small grenade.  With the remaining two armored vehicles, Ishihara Kanji did not dare to let them go forward anymore, because one of them was His Majesty the Emperor’s car and the other was his own car.  The rate of fire of the grenade was astonishing, coupled with the terrifying rate of fire of the four Hitler chainsaws, and the intensive crossfire, the more than 300 Japanese soldiers quickly lost one-third of their strength.  And it was suppressed tightly, unable to move forward at all.  After thinking about it, Ishihara finally made up his mind, opened the door of Emperor Hirohito's car, and said to Emperor Hirohito and Empress Ryoko: "Your Majesty, Queen, the situation is critical, please follow the ministers to abandon the car and break out!"  He and his daughters had already been stunned by the violent explosion outside the car just now, and were speechless.  &nbsp; Emperor Hirohito said as if he were mourning for his heir: "My dear, even though I am not afraid of hard work and can walk on foot, how can the queen and princesses be able to keep up with them because of their weak constitution?" "Your Majesty, I will ask the guards to take more care of the queen and princesses.  The situation of the princesses is critical, please get out of the car as soon as possible," Ishihara smiled and urged.  During the fierce battle, Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi had fun playing with a grenade, causing great damage to the Japanese.  "Platoon leader, platoon leader, look, someone is getting out of the Japanese car behind." A rifleman took advantage of the fire caused by the explosion and saw Emperor Hirohito and his party who were risking to get out of the car, and quickly said to Liu Jinkui and Liu Jinkui.  .  Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi looked up after hearing the words, and sure enough they saw a group of Japanese guards surrounding the armored vehicle without fear of death to form a human wall. In the flash of fire, they vaguely saw people jumping down from behind the human wall.  car.  After visually measuring the distance, Liu Jinkui quickly said to Wang Mazi: "Mazi, quickly adjust the shooting angle and blast him as a bitch!" Wang Mazi also saw this, quickly adjusted the shooting angle, and quickly fired a small grenade  Loaded into the barrel.  "Boom! Your Majesty, be careful!" There was a loud bang, and the wall of Japanese soldiers and Emperor Hirohito who jumped out of the car behind were all swallowed up by the violent explosion.  Wang Mazi was so excited that one shot hit, and he fired two more shots, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese who were already in disarray.  By this time, the Japanese had already suffered more than half their casualties.  Seeing the opportunity, Liu Jinkui immediately led his troops to launch a final charge against them.  Because the commander, General Ishihara and His Majesty the Emperor were all hit by the shelling just now, their lives and deaths are unknown. Although the remaining Japanese guards are elite, they are leaderless.  Wang Mazi and Liu Jinkui each held a submachine gun and four machine guns, forming a powerful assault firepower that knocked down the Japanese in pieces and quickly eliminated them all.  Starting to clean up the battlefield, Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi went straight to the place where the shot had just hit. They both knew that the one who got off the car must be a big shot from the Japs.  As soon as I ran to the place, I found that the Japanese corpses piled in Luo Chengren suddenly turned over, and several dying Japanese stretched out their hands.

    "Don't move!" Liu Jinkui, Wang Mazi and the two soldiers who ran over with them raised their guns almost at the same time and pointed them at the squirming corpse.  . The two looked at each other, one raised his gun to cover, and the other raised his right foot and kicked aside a Japanese corpse lying on it.  The disgraced Emperor Hirohito was pulled out from inside.  After inspection, Ishihara Kanji and a group of guards were killed by shrapnel while protecting Emperor Hirohito and his family.  On the other hand, Emperor Hirohito, Empress Ryoko and their daughters were only slightly injured and escaped.  Although Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi did not know the specific identities of the Japanese men and women they captured, they could guess from their clothes and the desperate efforts of the Japanese guards to protect them that they had captured several big fish.  While sending people to report to their superiors, Liu Jinkui and Wang Mazi concentrated their forces and took away all the Emperor Hirohito's family. They wanted to bring these prisoners who may have important identities to the main force of the army as soon as possible.  Then go and confirm their identity.  At this time, the rear troops led by Itagaki Seishiro had been completely wiped out by [***] Wang Longxiang's airborne troops and the elite of the Third Division.  It happened that they collided head-on with Liu Jinkui and the others who were leading his troops to escort Emperor Hirohito and his family.  ??And the Chinese [***] team in Tokyo City has achieved a comprehensive victory. The Japanese army, which has lost its command, has fallen into a situation of fighting on its own. It is only a matter of time that Tokyo City is captured by the Chinese [***] team.  The Japanese reinforcements in the north and southwest of the city also chose to stop the attack and retreat to wait and see because they lost contact with His Majesty the Emperor's breakout guards and the situation in Tokyo deteriorated.  By dawn, although the Japanese were still resisting in Tokyo, the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force had basically controlled most of the city.  Especially the imperial palace, the spiritual center of the Japanese people, is flying flags with blue sky and white sun.  The remnant Japanese soldiers who resisted in the city all collapsed, but few surrendered, and most of them chose to commit suicide.  Tokyo, Yasukuni Shrine.  A group of wolf-like Chinese soldiers carrying Garand rifles and MP38 submachine guns swept the remaining Japanese soldiers stationed here to the ground.  Then they rushed into the spiritual holy place of the Japanese national highway. About ten minutes later, all the large and small spiritual tablets inside were beaten to pieces by Chinese soldiers with submachine guns and machine guns.  A rather funny Chinese soldier even peed on the memorial tablet of Emperor Meiji of Japan.  Half an hour later, several captured Japanese artillery pieces were mobilized.  This so-called shrine used by the Japanese to worship dead ghosts was razed to the ground by fierce artillery fire.  At the Tokyo Imperial Palace, countless [***] soldiers who fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives chanted heartily here, firing volleys of various weapons into the air, and the dense gunfire vented the excitement and sadness in the hearts of the soldiers.  On the battleship Huo Qubing, Wang Tiehan heard that Tokyo had been captured, so he personally led the combat staff and adjutants to disembark from the destroyer, and drove to the Japanese Imperial Palace with the guards.  The convoy had just walked not far when a military motorcycle came towards them.  An officer with a high rank jumped out of the car. When he got closer, he turned out to be a lieutenant general.  "Commander Wang, why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Tiehan couldn't help but become curious when he saw that the person who came was Wang Longxiang, the number one airborne soldier of the Nationalist Army.  Wang Longxiang couldn't suppress his excitement and said: "Commander-in-Chief, good news. Two platoons from the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Division successfully intercepted and eliminated the last guard of the Japanese Emperor during last night's blocking battle, and captured Emperor Hirohito and  His queen and princesses!" "Ah?" Wang Tiehan was shocked.  "Yes! It's absolutely true!" Wang Longxiang nodded and confirmed.  "Where is Emperor Hirohito now? Is his safety guaranteed?" Wang Tiehan asked eagerly.  "Don't worry, I have deployed one of the most elite airborne battalions to join forces with the Third Division to guard the headquarters of the Third Division. There will definitely be no accidents." Wang Longxiang assured, patting his chest.  "Okay, great. Capturing the entire Tokyo this time is not as good as capturing Emperor Hirohito alive! Commander Wang, let's go to the third division headquarters as soon as possible." Wang Tiehan couldn't help but finish speaking, then turned around and ordered: "  In addition, Adjutant Niu, you should immediately report this great news to the Chairman in my name! Go!” “Yes!” Adjutant Niu immediately jumped out of the car and took the order.  ……………… Kitakyushu, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Japan.  "Commission, great victory, great victory!" Jiang Baili shouted excitedly to Zhang Xinghan who had just gotten up: "Commission, yesterday??Emperor Hirohito led a small number of troops to break through and failed, and was captured by our blocking troops.  Now the city of Tokyo has been basically captured by our third fleet attack force!  " Zhang Xinghan was startled at first, and then he slammed the table and said excitedly: "Great, with this, Japan's peace is just around the corner!  " "Yes, with Emperor Hirohito in our hands, we only need him to issue an edict to end the war, and the Japanese archipelago can cease war!  "Jiang Baili nodded in agreement. Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Baili, do you think it is better to transport Emperor Hirohito immediately to our country for imprisonment through the navy, or to stay in Japan.  " Jiang Baili fell into deep thought after hearing this, and analyzed carefully: " Imprisoning Emperor Hirohito in our country can certainly avoid accidents to a greater extent.  “However, I think keeping him in Japan will help appease the resistance of the Japanese and the existence and development of anti-China forces.  To avoid being used by forces in other countries, this is not conducive to our management of Japan.  " "But now the Americans have declared war on us.  If Emperor Hirohito is left in Japan, the Yankees are likely to increase their attacks on the Japanese mainland.  And using Emperor Hirohito as an excuse to induce the Japanese to cooperate internally and externally to resist our army, by then we in Japan may be trapped in internal and external difficulties.  "Zhang Xinghan said with some worry. "Commissioner, you should remember Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms, right?  "Jiang Baili said. "Cao?  Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes?  "Zhang Xinghan realized something. "Yes, it is to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!  Today's Emperor Hirohito's influence in Japan is definitely greater than that of Han Xiandi, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who subjugated the country.  As long as Emperor Hirohito is in our hands, we can use his name at any time to calm the resistance of the Japanese people.  With Emperor Hirohito in hand, there is no need to worry about any rebellion by the Japanese when the Americans attack.  Of course, just in case, I suggest that once the Japanese army accepts the Emperor's final decree of surrender, all surrendered Japanese troops should be immediately transported away as prisoners, whether they are given to major domestic factories and mines as free of charge  labor.  It is much better to kill them all than to keep them in Japan, because these people are dangerous elements, and many of them are unwilling to give up.  " Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "It makes sense. There are millions of these Japanese prisoners. It is really a waste to not use so much free labor. Only Chief of Staff can think of such a way to kill two birds with one stone.  " "Then it's decided, where should Emperor Hirohito be placed in Japan?  "After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he looked at the map with Jiang Baili. The latter looked at the map and said: "Tokyo is in ruins, and its geographical location is not very good, because once our navy and air force cannot resist the American attack, the United States will  The navy and air force can imitate us and attack Tokyo Bay.  Therefore, I suggest that Emperor Hirohito be moved to Matsumoto in the interior of Japan, where he should be heavily guarded, and the defense of Tokyo Bay should also be strengthened.  In case the Americans make a surprise landing.  " "Okay, that's it, let's let Wang Tiehan handle the matter of Emperor Hirohito issuing the end-of-war edict first.  Front-line units and Third Fleet landing forces should be prepared.  As long as Emperor Hirohito announces the order for the surrender of the Japanese army, they will immediately and quickly accept the surrender of the Japanese army in front of them.  Quickly occupy and take over all major, medium and small cities in Japan.  "Zhang Xinghan ordered. "Yes, I will go and generate electricity for Wang Tiehan right away.  "Jiang Baili bowed his head in response, turned and left.  In order to preserve the names of himself and his wife and children, Emperor Hirohito, who had become a prisoner, had to accept Zhang Xinghan's request. The next day, broadcast to all parts of Japan  The troops who were still resisting conveyed the intention to end the war. At this time, the main Japanese troops who were still fighting bloody battles with the [***] squadron on the front lines of Honshu and Shikoku Islands learned that Tokyo was attacked and the emperor was captured.  News. After Emperor Hirohito's edict to end the war was issued, the whole country mourned. It is said that no less than hundreds of thousands of fanatics from the millions of Japanese soldiers in various places chose to commit suicide. However, most of the Japanese soldiers chose to obey the emperor's order.  The Japanese reinforcements in Nagoya and Sendai surrendered humiliatingly. According to Zhang Xinghan's instructions, Wang Tiehan, Huang Xiansheng, Xing Zhanqing and others took over the Japanese troops.  While taking prisoners, he commanded the troops to quickly capture large areas of Shikoku Island and Honshu Island.The entire territory of Japan has basically been captured by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. More than one million Japanese Army soldiers surrendered and became prisoners of the squadron.  Zhang Xinghan mobilized ships to transport these prisoners back to the country, preparing to send them to the southwest, northwest and northeastern borders to mine various minerals and build various roads, railways and national defense facilities.  At the same time, 300,000 army troops were mobilized from the country and the Korean Peninsula to strengthen the strength of the expeditionary force in Japan.  In order to control the Japanese archipelago and defend against possible future attacks by the Americans.  So far, the total strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Japan has exceeded two million.  After pacifying Japan, Zhang Xinghan led a small number of troops back to China. By this time, the Americans had declared war on China for nearly half a month.  In order to prepare for the upcoming all-out war with the Americans, Zhang Xinghan must start preparing. He must use all the war potential that China can unleash at this time to show off with the Americans.  PS: Just the first update today, the third update will be made tomorrow!

    Zhang Xinghan left behind Huang Xiansheng, Xing Zhanqing and Wang Yizhe to jointly command the two million army and navy third fleet stationed in Japan and 500 various fighter planes.  We took a plane with Jiang Baili and others and returned to Nanjing in mid-December of the 26th year of the Republic of China.  The joy of victory in the attack on Japan has been replaced by the heavy atmosphere of the United States declaring war on China.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan returned to China, he held a call for declaration of war against the United States in Nanjing City on the same day, attended by all the soldiers and civilians of Nanjing City.  At the conference, Zhang Xinghan made a call to resolutely not bow to the Americans and called on all citizens to mobilize and actively sign up to join the army to defend the country's territorial integrity and national dignity.  Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Nanjing were excited and responded enthusiastically. On that day, no less than thousands of young and middle-aged people crowded the recruitment office of the Communist Party of China in Nanjing.  Immediately, Zhang Xinghan convened an emergency meeting jointly composed of the Military Commission and the Executive Yuan.  The meeting decided that the country should immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness, expand the army as much as possible, and prepare to defend the territory and resist the attack of U.S. imperialism.  In the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili were standing side by side in front of a giant combat map discussing the next strategic military deployment.  "Commissioner, you see, after our army captured Japan, the defense area has extended from the mainland to the Japanese Islands, Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Islands and other island chains. But with the current strength of our navy, it is impossible to block this thing  Thousands of miles up and down the sea. Therefore, in addition to attacking the above three archipelago areas, the Americans may also pass through the sea areas between them and directly attack our main cities on the coast, such as the Songhuhang area.  , the Jiaodong Peninsula and other places are likely to become their primary targets for attack. "We must prepare early!" Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement: "Inform Yan Xishan and immediately arrange for the ministries of the Executive Yuan to coordinate with local government departments.  Industry is relocating to the hinterland of the Central Plains. "Jiang Baili frowned and said: "Commissioner, what I am most worried about now is not the Americans, but the Soviets. The Americans are now declaring war on us. If the Soviets stab us in the back, what will happen to us?  We will be surrounded by enemies from both sides, which will be extremely detrimental to the war." Zhang Xinghan said: "I have thought of this too. I will ask Duke Zhou to go to Germany as an envoy to try my best to persuade Hitler to start a war in Europe.  "It would be best to start a war with the Soviet Union." "But when Duke Zhou went to Germany, didn't you already ask Hitler not to go to war with the Soviet Union for the time being?" Jiang Baili said a little worried.  "The situation is different. We destroyed Japan, violated the interests of the Americans in the United States, and went to war with them directly. If we were destroyed under the attack of the Soviet Union and the United States. Then Hitler would lose his only powerful ally, and he would rise in Europe.  . And his desire to eventually dominate the world will be frustrated. Therefore, he will definitely agree to launch a war in advance, especially to contain the Soviet Union, so that our country will not be attacked by the Soviet Union and the United States. In Hitler's mind, the Americans and the Soviets should be the biggest worry.  Especially the United States, which is far away on the other side of the ocean and has a unique geographical location. Hitler should be most afraid of them. If we can defeat both sides in Asia, it will be extremely beneficial to Hitler and his German Empire. "  Zhang Xinghan analyzed.  "Yeah. That makes sense." Jiang Baili nodded.  "In addition to contacting the Germans to launch a war in advance, we should also be fully prepared to build our first island chain defense circle with Taiwan, Japan, and the Ryukyu Islands as the three major support points. At the same time, we must mobilize heavy troops to defend our country's coast  Important land. If the Americans forcefully attack our country, they must first solve the two major threats, which is to completely seize air and sea control. Otherwise, our naval and air force bases in Taiwan and Japan can take off at any time to threaten their rear lifeline.  , increasing the expansion of the navy and air force is the most critical issue for whether we can win this war. If the Americans really dare to land on our country to fight at all costs, they will really push themselves into the quagmire of the war.  All the invaders who landed on our country were wiped out. "…………Germany, Berlin, Chancellery.  Hitler, G?ring, Guderian and other important figures gathered together to discuss matters related to the development of the war situation in Asia.  Zhang Xinghan made such a big noise in Asia that even the Americans declared war on China. HitlerIt's impossible not to know.  Therefore, he summoned his confidants to discuss how he and his German Empire should choose. Today's Germany is developing and recovering very quickly.  The rapid growth of national and military power also directly led to the expansion of Hitler's already ready ambitions.  "Goering, you have been to China. What do you think of the current situation in Asia? Tell us." Hitler pointed at Goering and asked.  G?ring quickly and respectfully stood up and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Chinese people today are completely different from the Chinese people we have always known. How to put it, their main change should be the change in spirit. If we compare the previous  The Chinese are likened to fallen knights who have lost their fighting spirit and courage. Then the Chinese now are warriors who have regained their confidence, picked up their swords, mounted their war horses, and are high-spirited. Yes, they are warriors who dare to challenge all powerful opponents!  The brave knights who launched the challenge! "This is how they found their spiritual beliefs and revitalized the fighting spirit of the entire nation," Hitler said with admiration in his eyes.  "Mr. Prime Minister, based on our alliance with the Chinese, if the Americans attack them, we need to provide assistance according to the treaty. But from the international environment and geographical location that our country is facing now, we are very  It is difficult to provide direct help to the Chinese," Guderian said.  Goering nodded unequivocally, and both of them looked at Hitler, wanting to see what their supreme leader thought.  Hitler turned to look at a map that had been hanging in his office, walked over and stared at it for a while, and said: "Sometimes strategic assistance is more effective and wiser than tactical assistance. And  , I have never intended to actually risk the lives of our heroic German Empire soldiers to help the Chinese. We are directly interested in each other and cannot be regarded as true allies." Goring and Guderian looked at each other in surprise.  Then Goering said: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?" "Wait a minute, I don't think Zhang Xinghan will do nothing. After his special envoy arrives, we will make the final plan." Hitler said thoughtfully  road.  ……………… United States, Office of the President, White House, Washington.  "Mr. President, the first batch of reinforcements has departed, and they are expected to arrive at the Hawaii military base in a week." A white secretary reported to Luo Laizi.  "This amount of troops is far from enough. I have ordered the navy and army headquarters to speed up the troop assembly. Within half a month, they must launch an attack on Japan and Taiwan." Luo Laizi said impatiently.  In such a short period of time, Zhang Xinghan commanded the Chinese Expeditionary Force to capture Tokyo, and also captured alive the spiritual pillar of the Japanese, Emperor Hirohito. This was an unexpected result for him.  In his opinion, even if the city of Tokyo is lost, the Japanese resistance will not stop. The US military has enough time to rush to join the Japanese army to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese army while the Sino-Japanese war is still going on.  ??Thus defeating the Chinese ** team who were attacked from both sides.  However, now that Emperor Hirohito was captured by the Chinese Army, millions of Japanese troops and tens of millions of Japanese were forced to stop resisting, surrender to the Chinese Army, and surrender.  The Chinese ** team no longer has any worries. What the US ** team will face next will be the most complete resistance from the Chinese ** team.  So Roosevelt had to be upset.  ………………Nanjing City, Chairman’s Office.  "Gong Zhou, it may be more dangerous for you to go to Germany this time. The Americans have declared war on us, and it is not safe to take German ships. Just in case, I decided to send two submarines to send you there secretly. So, please  You must take care of yourself." Zhang Xinghan said to Zhou Gong with a sincere and guilty look.  Duke Zhou smiled casually and said: "General Zhang, you don't have to worry too much about me. It is my honor to be able to contribute to the country and the nation. No matter how great the risk is, it is worth it." "By the way, I  Before you come, Runzhi asked me to tell you that although this war with the Americans is forced by necessity, since we have already broken our skin, don't be afraid. With the support of 40 million people, we will definitely win the final victory.  , but the only thing we need to be wary of is the Soviets in the north. They may take advantage of the fierce battle between the Americans and us to get in from behind." Duke Zhou suddenly added.  Zhang Xinghan nodded happily and said: "Please tell Mr. Zhou, I will definitely keep it in mind. This is the purpose of asking Mr. Zhou to go to Germany as an envoy.  "After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he handed an envelope to Zhou Gongdao: "All I want to say is here. Duke Zhou, you can open it after you get on the submarine. If you do what the letter says, you will definitely be able to persuade Hitler to launch a war in advance.  , help us contain the Soviets.  " Duke Zhou took the envelope and nodded solemnly, shook hands with Zhang Xinghan and said, "Then I'll take my leave.  " " Take care of yourself, Duke Zhou!  "Zhang Xinghan freed up a hand to salute him solemnly. After watching Duke Zhou leave, Zhang Xinghan turned around and arranged: "Zhongzi, prepare the car immediately, let's go to the airport.  ” ps: The first update, there are two more updates, I will try my best to complete it before twelve o'clock, thank you, continue to ask for recommendation votes.

    In a conference room of the Shanghai Municipal Government, Zhang Xinghan walked in accompanied by Guo Zhong and others.  The mayor of Shanghai and government officials who were in a meeting were surprised when they saw Zhang Xinghan's sudden arrival, but they quickly stood up.  Mayor Zhang Qun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Chairman, why are you here?" "I'm here to talk to Mayor Zhang about how to deal with American businessmen, expatriates and concessions in our country, especially in Shanghai.  ." Zhang Xinghan glanced at everyone present.  "To be honest, Chairman, I will urgently discuss the solution with all my colleagues. Since the Americans declared war on me more than half a month ago, American expatriates, businessmen and concessions in the Songhu area suddenly began to retreat.  Evacuation of overseas Chinese. At that time, the Sino-Japanese war was at a critical moment. After receiving instructions from the Executive Yuan, I ordered the military police to temporarily stop the Americans. However, now the Americans are increasingly protesting and have had many bloody conflicts with us.  "I'm worried that if we don't take decisive measures, the Americans may cause trouble together with Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries," Zhang Qun said with a tangled look.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss. I have ordered the 22nd Division stationed in Shanghai to station in various defense areas in Shanghai. From now on, Shanghai Customs will not allow entry or exit except for Chinese fishermen and merchant ships. As for the American concession,  Immediately disband and ban them in accordance with the law. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot. All American expatriates in China are ordered to stay where they are and are not allowed to move around until the Sino-US war stops. Otherwise, they will be arrested for espionage. " Zhang Qun heard this.  He said with some concern: "Chairman, will this trigger Americans to retaliate against our overseas Chinese in the United States? According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of thousands of our overseas Chinese in various parts of the United States." Zhang Qun said this  At this point, Zhang Xinghan's face couldn't help but become extremely ugly and said: "Don't worry, three days after Roosevelt ordered the declaration of war on our country, he ordered the centralized control of hundreds of thousands of Chinese in the United States. To put it nicely, it is control,  To put it bluntly, it is an arrest. "What we have done is extremely benevolent." Zhang Qun and others immediately stood up and said, "We understand, we will handle it right away." After that, Zhang Qun ordered everyone to split up.  Start taking action now.  After the arrangements were made, Zhang Qun turned around and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Chairman, do you have any other instructions? If so, just make arrangements and I will do it right away." Zhang Xinghan patted his shoulder and said sincerely.  He said: "Mayor Zhang, once the war breaks out between us and the Americans, Shanghai, as the largest city in our country, is very likely to be attacked by the Americans. Therefore. Shanghai must be evacuated. Mayor Zhang, you need everything  "How troublesome!" Zhang Qun straightened up and said: "Chairman, please rest assured that this is Zhang's job. I will do my best to reduce the losses for the country and the nation as much as possible." "Well, that's good, it's your ability.  Mr. Jiang and I are extremely sure. Come on." After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he strode away with Guo Zhong and the guards.  …………… A certain recruiting office in Shanghai was overcrowded.  Since China’s expedition destroyed little Japan, it also annihilated the American Pacific Fleet and declared war on the United States.  There is an endless stream of people coming to the recruitment office every day to apply for recruitment. Countless patriotic young and middle-aged people are excited and enthusiastically responded to Zhang Xinghan’s call.  At this time, China's martial spirit and bloody spirit, which had been suppressed and castrated for hundreds of years, had been awakened by the glorious victories achieved one after another by the Chinese Army led by Zhang Xinghan.  Every drop of their blood is boiling, and every inch of their skin is trembling.  They are not the sick men of East Asia who let others slaughter their flesh.  It is the Eastern Army that has inherited the bloody and martial spirit of its ancestors.  Under the leadership and call of Zhang Xinghan, the national god of war, they dare to draw their swords against any opponent who declares war on the Chinese nation.  They are willing to gather under the banner held high by Zhang Xinghan and fight the enemy to the end.  The recruitment was going on in an orderly manner, when suddenly several military trucks full of soldiers roared over.  Stopping not far from the recruitment office, the people who jumped out from the car commander were fully armed and loaded with ammunition, attracting the attention of the young men who came to recruit.  After they got out of the car, they immediately dispersed and guarded the entire recruitment area.  The recruits didn’t know.  Not only are they hundreds of miles away,Inside, some elite soldiers and hidden agents had already inspected and searched all the buildings within a few hundred meters, just to ensure the safety of their supreme leader.  About ten minutes later, three military jeeps and armored vehicles rumbled down the street from a distance.  Many young people who were recruited into the army suddenly saw so many soldiers and armored vehicles.  They were all a little excited and scared.  After the armored vehicle between the two jeeps stopped, a burly officer walked out first. Then he stood aside respectfully, and someone walked out of it.  When people saw Zhang Xinghan coming out in a heroic general uniform, they suddenly burst into cheers.  Many people's excited eyes were full of fanaticism, and they couldn't help but began to shout: "Commander Zhang! Commander Zhang!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved to them, and under the protection of Guo Zhong and several guards, he strode towards  The recruiting office came.  The guards kept the enthusiastic young adults away from the crowd as a precaution.  When he came to the registration desk, Zhang Xinghan first looked down at the registration book, then raised his head and said to the extremely excited young adults, "Brothers, now that the Yankees see that our Chinese nation is about to rise, they are extremely unbalanced and unhappy.  Ah. So, they brazenly declared war on us, in order to protect our victory, defend our territorial integrity and national dignity, and hope that every one of us, the Chinese people, can devote themselves to this great and unprecedented war without fear of bloodshed or sacrifice.  During the Great Patriotic War, I still remember the slogan I shouted when I called on the compatriots in the Northeast to stand up and resist, one inch of mountains and one inch of blood! It is still valid and applicable today!  ! I hope that all young people of appropriate age can actively and consciously respond to the country’s call, actively join the army, and defend our national dignity! As long as we are united and united, we will surely win the final victory!  The great Chinese army is invincible! ""Long live the Chinese nation, long live Commander-in-Chief Zhang!" the enthusiastic young and middle-aged people shouted in unison.  For a time, the recruitment office was in a state of excitement.  ………… “Father, mother, please forgive me for being unfilial. The country is in trouble today, and the child is determined to respond to Commander-in-Chief Zhang’s call to abandon his pen and join the army to protect his family and country. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fulfill my filial piety for you and your two elders in the future. Please forgive me.  "A young student from a scholarly family in the Central Plains was kneeling down to say goodbye to his parents.  The two elderly people are such a only child. Although they are extremely reluctant, they are also deeply righteous. They know that the country is the most important. When the father, when the father, he patted his wife's shoulder gently to show comfort.  Holding back tears, he said to his son who was kneeling on the ground: "Son, since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. As a man, you should put the country and the nation first. You don't have to worry about me and your mother. You can go, we are at home."  Waiting for the day of your triumphant return. "" Outer Mongolia, Kulun City, the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia garrison of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force.  The current commander-in-chief Zhang Lingfu is writing hard.  When I looked closer, I saw that it was a suicide note written to my family.  "My wife Hailan, today the Japanese invaders have just been defeated, and the U.S. imperialists have declared war on our country. As a national soldier, in this time of national crisis, I should move forward bravely, lead the soldiers to defend the homeland, and fight to the death with the enemy invaders. " If I am lucky enough,  I sacrificed my life for the country, I hope you will not think of me, I hope you will marry another person, and don’t make the mistake" After writing a tragic suicide note, Zhang Lingfu personally wrote a war message to Zhang Xinghan.  …………… After Zhang Xinghan left the recruitment office, he came to the headquarters of the 22nd Division in Shanghai. He planned to rest here for one night and inspect the troops of the 22nd Division tomorrow before returning to Nanjing.  The orderly brought hot water to Zhang Xinghan. Zhang Xinghan was soaking his feet. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter and when the snow was falling, it was very comfortable to soak his feet in hot water.  Suddenly, Guo Zhong walked in quickly from outside with a telegram in his hand. He saluted Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commissioner, I just received an urgent telegram from Zhang Lingfu from Culun. Please take a look." "Culun? Zhang Lingfu?"  "Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this and quickly took the message. He thought it was some movement from the Soviet army.  But after opening the message and reading it, he couldn't help but smile with relief and said: "Lingfu is still impatient, which gave me a false alarm." Send him a message. I have already sent a message to Gao Chu to go to Kulun to take over the post of commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Force. When Gao Chu  When they first arrived in Kulun, they made a handover and then came to Nanjing to report on their duties.I have a new task for him.  "    "yes.  "Guo Zhong accepted the message and responded, turned around and took the order to leave. After soaking his feet for a while, Zhang Xinghan stepped back and took out the multi-function watch he had always carried. He entered the game's production page and browsed it for a while. Zhang Xinghan  His eyes finally settled on a military helicopter called R-4. As a special forces king in the 21st century, it is impossible for Zhang Xinghan not to know the impact of helicopters on modern warfare except R-4.  In addition to the first military helicopter, there are other more advanced aircraft on the production page, but the cost of unlocking them is too high. Zhang Xinghan also wants to produce as many advanced fighters and submarines as possible for the navy and air force, so in order to  To save kill points, you can only temporarily choose this helicopter, which was launched in 1939 and was only put into use during World War II.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 551: Jet Fighter

    However, Zhang Xinghan also understands that even if this is the first true helicopter, as long as it can be put into service, it will improve the combat effectiveness of the squadron, especially the ground troops. レ?思?路&c鲁bs;客レ will bring about earth-shaking changes.  Helicopters can take off and land at any time, and are extremely powerful for troop penetration, small-scale special operations, and large-scale ground attacks.  It can be imagined that in a traditional position offensive and defensive battle, the two sides are in a stalemate, and a large number of Chinese Air Force helicopters suddenly appear to conduct low-altitude fire strikes from the enemy's position.  At such a close distance, the lethality they unleash will be much more accurate and greater than that of the Stuka bomber group.  Especially the US armored forces will become a living target for the Chinese Air Force helicopter units.  Because it is the natural nemesis of tanks and armored vehicles.  In short, if you have a large number of helicopters, the Chinese Army will be invincible in land battles.  Of course, helicopters alone cannot achieve a comprehensive and overwhelming advantage over the US military.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan also plans to replace the Chinese Air Force with more advanced jet fighters.  But unlocking the jet fighter costs a staggering amount of kills.  After this battle against the Soviet Union in Outer Mongolia and this war on the Japanese archipelago, Zhang Xinghan gained tens of millions of enemy kills.  But unlocking the R-4 military helicopter costs one million enemy kill points, and the most entry-level jet fighter, the German Me-262 fighter jet, costs two million enemy kill points to unlock.  You must know that this is only their unlocking price. Producing a helicopter and a jet fighter costs up to 30,000 and 50,000 enemy kill points.  However, after seeing the specific performance data of the me-262, Zhang Xinghan gritted his teeth and unlocked it. Because such a powerful performance has the advantage of being nearly ten years ahead of this era, and it is an absolute cross-era fighter. This  At that time, they were still fighter planes powered by propeller-piston engines.  Once the Chinese Air Force is able to equip them, the advantage gap with the U.S. Navy and Air Force will be greatly increased.  Even if the Americans develop advanced fighter jets such as the P-51 Mustang early model due to the early entry into service of the Zero fighter jet, they will not be a match for the Chinese Air Force equipped with the Me-262 jet fighter.  Because, just looking at the performance data of me-262 you can see how powerful it is.  Its maximum weight is 7045kg/6400kg, crew: 1, maximum speed: 540mph (870km/h) ceiling: 11,500m, maximum range: 1050km, maximum climb rate: 1200m/myn, combat radius: 1050km, main weapons: 4 doors  30mmmk108 cannon (100 rounds/door) or 4 30mmmk108 cannons (80 rounds/door) Secondary weapons: 2 external 30mmmk103 cannons or 2 30mmmk108 cannons or 2 20mmmg151/20 machine guns Engine: 2 1980lbth stjunkerju  Touch 004baxialtur wave jets Me-262a-1b/me-262a-2a single-seat bomber: Maximum speed: 470mph (755km/h) Main weapon: 2 30mmmk108 cannons (100 rounds/door) 2 30mmmk108 cannons (80 rounds  /door) Secondary weapons: 500kg bombs (when bombing) 24 R4M rockets (when intercepting) At the same time, he also has a me-262b-2a two-seat night fighter dedicated to night combat. Its main weapons are: 2 30mmmk108 cannons  (100 rounds/door) 2 30mmmk108 cannons (80 rounds/door) Secondary weapons: 2 additional 30mmmk108 cannons behind the driver's cockpit, and an SG500 armor-piercing cannon (12 rounds) or an SG500 armor-piercing cannon (12 rounds) under the nose  Door 50mmmk114 machine gun or 48 r4m rockets.  Not to mention, the me-262's powerful firepower and its speed are already beyond the reach of fighter planes in this era.  However, Zhang Xinghan only unlocked them temporarily, and the specific production will not be implemented until he returns to Northeast China.  Because it is easier to keep secrets and concealments in Nanjing than in Northeast China.  So, after Zhang Xinghan unlocked the phone, he went to bed early.  After inspecting the garrison of the 22nd Division the next day, he returned to Nanjing with Guo Zhonghe's guards.  As soon as Zhang Xinghan arrived in Nanjing, Jiang Baili hurriedly found him and said to him: "Commissioner, I just got the news that the American reinforcements, about 100,000 land, sea and air force, have now left the United States and are heading towards the Hawaiian Islands.  "Move forward." "More than 100,000 people? The Americans came very quickly, but Roosevelt doesn't think he dares to attack us with just over 100,000 people, right?" Zhang Xinghan asked jokingly after being slightly surprised.  Jiang Baili took a step behind Zhang Xinghan and said: "That's not what the British can do. This should be just the advance guard of the US military.force.  " "It's a pity that our navy does not have an aircraft carrier battle group. Otherwise, we could have blown up all the American naval and air force bases in the Hawaiian Islands before the reinforcements arrived.  "Zhang Xinghan said with some regret. "Yes, the Japanese archipelago is six thousand miles away from the Hawaiian Islands, which has completely exceeded the effective range of all our current aircraft. Even if the Flying Fortress bomber group can reach this range, it will not be able to return.  “Moreover, we don’t have any fighter planes that can provide escort for them. Without fighter escort, these bombers will be shot down by US military fighters and air defense forces even if they can reach the Hawaiian Islands.  "Jiang Baili said. Zhang Xinghan waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let's not mention it. The level of military technology has not reached that level yet. We still have the most important things to do right now.  ??Brother Baili, I want to go back to the Northeast. You can stay in Nanjing. I will let Shen Xingye fully cooperate with you.  "    "It is good.  Jiang Baili responded and asked again: "Commissioner, are you going back to the Northeast now?"  Is there something important?  "The Germans have assisted us with a batch of advanced fighters. I will go to the Northeast to receive them personally, and mobilize excellent pilots to form a new air force."  They will become the absolute main force in the war against the United States in the future.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Oh.  "Jiang Baili nodded with conviction. "" That afternoon, Zhang Xinghan summoned Shen Xingye and Dai Li to give them some instructions, and then took Guo Zhong to leave Nanjing by plane and go outside the customs.  Fly away. Since Dai Li took refuge in Zhang Xinghan, with Zhang Xinghan's financial and various support, he quickly regained control of the military command that was almost in disarray and faced collapse and annexation by the Central Government. This man is indeed a spy genius.  Less than a few months after regaining control of the military, he successfully curbed the annexation of Zhongtong and caused a great blow to Fenghua, Ningbo, the hometown of Chen Guofu.  The brothers Chen Lifu and Chen lowered their heads in shame, letting the livid-faced Chairman Chiang in front of them vent his anger. "Dai Yunong, Dai Yunong, Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, this bastard, actually.  Dare to betray me!  This is simply unreasonable!  Bastard, lackey!  Zhang Xinghan’s lackey!  " Ever since he learned of Dai Li's rebellion, he has led the entire Military Command like Zhang Xinghan. Chairman Chiang's anger is conceivable. No, he secretly ordered the Chen brothers to get rid of Dai Li again and again but failed. " On the contrary, the Central Committee  The commander-in-chief was attacked by Dai Li in turn and lost his troops and territory. This made Chairman Chiang lose his face, and he was also vaguely resented by Zhang Xinghan, which showed signs of expelling him from the circle of power. "Commissioner, Dai Yunong betrayed the leader.  He is a traitor to the party and the country. He is the most shameless lackey and traitor in the world. He holds a low position and will definitely find a way to get rid of this person!  "The young and energetic Chen Lifu saw Chairman Chiang being so angry and said angrily. Chen Guofu could only sigh secretly on the side. Chairman Chiang stopped roaring and fell into deep thought. "Forget it, the military commander has the support of Zhang Xinghan.  The Northeast Secrecy Bureau is working in collusion, and your Central Commander is no match for him for the time being.  “Moreover, now that the Americans have declared war on us, the stakes are so high that we can no longer engage in internal strife for the time being, once we are defeated by the Americans.  “Then the Japanese may come back, collude with the Americans, and turn China into their colony.  Therefore, we should still put the country and the nation first.  " "But, Commissioner, you put the overall interests of the country first, and Zhang Xinghan may not appreciate it. Besides, we have to find a way out for ourselves, and we can't go on like this.  If this continues, our Central Army faction will be completely eaten up and disintegrated by the Northeast Army!  "Chen Lifu said. "Zhang Xinghan is the same as me and the Yan'an man. We are both staunch nationalists. When the national crisis is at hand, personal and political grievances have to give way.  Zhang Xinghan is not that kind of person. Besides, this war with the Americans is likely to cause a chaos all over the world. At that time, I will look for a suitable opportunity to let Gu Zhutong and Hu Zongnan lead their troops to fight abroad.  So that we can find a suitable place to stay and make plans for the future.  "Chairman Chiang sees things more thoroughly and thinks in the longer term. When Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu looked at each other, they lowered their heads and left without saying anything more. "Chairman Chiang said with a smile.?, waved his hand to signal them to leave, walked to the window alone and began to be in a daze.  (To be continued.)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 552: Germany’s Entry into the War

    After returning to Northeast China, Zhang Xinghan ordered Zhang Xinghua (who had been promoted to deputy commander of the Air Force) to mobilize a group of pilots with rich combat experience from the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Islands and begin to form jet fighter and helicopter fighter detachments.  Jet fighters are not much different from the piston fighters currently equipped by Japan, and it is easy to learn to adapt to them in terms of operation.  The main thing is that helicopters are a brand-new aircraft, and it takes a certain amount of time to get familiar with it.  Since it was just the initial training stage, Zhang Xinghan only exchanged ten me-262 jet fighters and twenty r-4 helicopters, and handed over this secret new air force unit to his younger brother Zhang Xinghua to be responsible for training.  Zhang Xinghan also took advantage of the rare time before the war to return to his hometown in Jilin to spend a rare New Year with his family.  Half a month later, Duke Zhou successfully arrived in Germany on a submarine.  Met Hitler.  Due to the outstanding performance of the Chinese ** team in Asia, Duke Zhou arrived in Berlin this time and was personally welcomed by Hitler.  And Hitler also held an unprecedented banquet for Duke Zhou to cleanse him from the dust.  After the evening banquet ended in a cheerful atmosphere, Duke Zhou was invited by Hitler to the reception room of his Chancellery.  After sitting down in order of priority, Hitler took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Zhou from the East, first of all, on behalf of the German government and people, I welcome your arrival. The performance of your Chinese team in the Pacific and Japan this time is really disappointing.  "Everyone was impressed." Duke Zhou said, neither humble nor arrogant, "This time our army is engaged in a just and vengeful war. Under the wise command of our God of War, General Zhang, and with the full support of the people of the three armies.  After a bloody battle, we achieved a great and comprehensive victory in the first foreign war since modern times. Before I came, our General Zhang entrusted me to express his regards to you and the German people, especially your appreciation of our country's technology and industrial equipment.  Your assistance has greatly helped us. On behalf of the 40 million Chinese people and millions of Chinese soldiers, I would like to express my solemn gratitude to you and the German government and people. I hope that the alliance between our two countries will become stronger and progress together.  ." Hitler smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhou, the purpose of your visit is not just for this, right?" Duke Zhou nodded calmly and said, "Yes, we are in trouble.  , I just hope that you, Mr. Prime Minister, can provide us with support this time. "Mr. Zhou, are you referring to the American declaration of war on you? I think you should understand that our country is now in a stage of rapid development, and our two countries are geographically separated.  Location. It also means that we may not be able to provide you with direct assistance. "And, didn't you say last time that your General Zhang didn't want me to launch the war machine this morning?" Hitler said.  Zhou Gongdao: "That's right, last time our General Zhang was based on the actual situation of your country and thinking about you. Therefore, we made suggestions. I hope that you, Prime Minister, can accumulate more national and military power and not start a war too early. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.  , The international situation and pattern have now undergone tremendous changes. But we have violated the interests of the Americans in Asia, and even Britain and France may subsequently join the war against our country.  "In fact, it is a rare strategic opportunity." "A rare strategic opportunity? Please explain it more clearly," Hitler asked with curiosity.  Duke Zhou nodded and said: "First of all, let me explain that if we are defeated by the coalition forces of Britain, the United States and other countries, then the Americans and British will dominate Asia and be able to concentrate on dealing with any changes that may occur in Europe.  The strategic plan will be a great threat and obstacle." At these words of Duke Zhou, Hitler nodded unequivocally.  Seeing this, Duke Zhou paused and continued: "In my opinion, it is not a problem for your country's military power to sweep across Western Europe. Neither the British nor the French are your country's opponents. Therefore, your country's biggest opponent should be the Soviet Union.  With the Americans, and the Americans have already started a war with us, Britain and France will also be involved in the war because of their interests in Southeast Asia. As long as we are not defeated, they will have absolutely no time to take care of Europe. Therefore, we hope that the Prime Minister can command your country's army.  , attack Poland first, and then directly attack the Soviet Union, and then turn around to deal with the French and British. As long as your country sends troops to attack, the millions of troops of our Northwest Frontier Defense Force and Northeast Frontier Defense Force will also be defeated.  will march from the Far East to Siberia,Assist your country to eliminate Russia and gain hegemony on land.  As long as our two teams successfully reunite on land, no country in Eurasia will be our opponent.  We can then concentrate all our efforts on launching the final attack and counterattack against Britain and the United States.  Of course, in the early stages of this war, our country's main energy still needs to hold back the Western armies, dominated by the United States and supplemented by Britain and France.  The main force attacking the Soviet Union will still be your country.  " These words of Duke Zhou were what Zhang Xinghan saw in the envelope given to him before leaving. After polishing it a little, he explained it to Hitler. After listening to what Duke Zhou said, Hitler fell into deep thought. "No.  To be sure, the ideas and concepts mentioned by Duke Zhou are very consistent with Hitler's previous predictions, and such a plan has a high probability of success. Hitler has already concluded that the United States and the Soviet Union must not jointly attack China, otherwise.  The consequences will be disastrous. The Germans need China to maintain combat power in Asia to disperse the military power of Britain, the United States, France and even the Soviet Union. So, Hitler was moved. However, after thinking for a long time, Hitler said with some concern:  "Mr. Zhou, please forgive me. The equipment level and combat effectiveness of the Americans are by no means comparable to that of the Japanese. I am very worried about whether your country can withstand the joint attack of Britain, the United States, France and even the Soviet Union.  " Duke Zhou smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, have you forgotten that the U.S. Pacific Fleet was completely wiped out in less than a few hours?  In other words, even if we lose our sea and air control, we still have nearly three million troops in the Taiwan Islands, Ryukyu Islands and Japanese Islands.  They will fight to the last soldier, and our homeland can also arm tens of millions of troops. If the Americans want to land, they will be caught in endless counterattacks and attacks.  “As long as your country sends troops in time to force the Soviet Union to have no time to look eastward, so that we can concentrate our strength and energy on dealing with the British, American and French coalition forces, we will not fail.  Of course, if your country can deploy some technical arms to assist us, our combat effectiveness will be stronger and the troubles the Americans will encounter will be greater.  " Hitler nodded and said: "Very good, Mr. Zhou, I am very satisfied with your answer. Let's do this. You have a good rest first. I want to discuss it with my staff and I will give you an answer tomorrow.  "    "very good.  "The Duke of Zhou stood up, shook hands with Hitler, and left. After Hitler watched the Duke of Zhou leave, he ordered his chamberlain to notify Goering and others to come for a meeting and discussion. Not long after, Goering and others arrived in a hurry.  After seeing Hitler salute together, Hitler waved him to sit down. Hitler briefly recounted the conversation with G?ring and others. After they thought about it, he asked: "What do you think?  What are your thoughts on this?  " Goering, Guderian and others looked at each other. The former took the lead and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think Mr. Zhou's analysis is very reasonable and in line with our interests.  He is right. If the Americans defeat the Chinese in Asia, they will no longer have any worries in Asia. Asia will even become their strategic material supply rear area.  Southeast Asia’s oil and rubber, China’s coal, iron and other valuable resources will be continuously supplied.  By that time, it will be basically impossible for us to make a difference in Europe.  " Guderian also nodded and agreed: "Yes, their analysis is very reasonable. If we want to dominate Europe and reproduce the glory of the German Empire, neither the French nor the British will be our ultimate opponents.  The final opponent is the Soviet Union, which we will directly compete with on land. This is a huge country with an extremely vast land area.  "If we can devote all our strength to defeating the Soviet Union and destroying this huge country while the United Kingdom, the United States, France and other countries have no time to pay attention to the war situation in Europe, coupled with the support of the Chinese in the Far East, it will be extremely beneficial to us.  Of course, before launching a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, we also need to prepare defenses on the western front to prepare for a possible attack by the French.  " Hitler said disdainfully and arrogantly: "Guderian, you overestimate the French. Even if they knew that we were going eastward, the French would not dare to take the initiative to attack our great German Empire.  “If it weren’t for the purpose of destroying Su, we would have destroyed them in a month at the latest.  " "Then Prime Minister, do you mean to agree with the Chinese people's suggestions?  "Goering and Guderian asked at the same time. "Whether it is for ChinaRegardless of the situation in Asia, or for our own sake, we cannot let the Chinese fall into the siege of Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union.  This is indeed a great opportunity for us to deal with the Soviets. You should come up with a feasible combat plan as soon as possible!  "Hitler made a final decision. G?ring and Guderian were both war madmen. They stood up excitedly and saluted: "Yes, Prime Minister, please rest assured. We will come up with a feasible battle plan as soon as possible and succeed in one fell swoop.  !  ” ps: The first update is here, and there will be another update later. I still ask for recommendation votes. Brothers, why are the recommendation votes so weak this week? This thing is free.  Click the button to vote for recommendation, thank you!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 553: The First Battle with the US Army

    Northeast, Jilin City.  Zhang Xinghan has just celebrated the Lunar New Year with his family. Accompanied by Du Ting and others, he will visit Jilin City Defense Forces and nearby garrison troops.  Duke Zhou sent news from Germany that Hitler had agreed to his suggestion and was actively preparing to invade the east.  After Zhang Xinghan learned the news, he quickly returned to Jilin, took a plane and flew to Nanjing.  Because Xue Yue and Wang Yizhe have successively received news from the Japanese Islands and Taiwan Islands, the US military is marching into the above-mentioned areas.  The war is coming.  After several hours of flying at full speed, the plane finally landed smoothly at the Nanjing University Campus Military Airport.  Yan Xishan, Jiang Baili and other dignitaries went to the airport to greet him in person.  After returning to the Military Commission, Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, I believe you should already know that the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet has been reorganized and is advancing towards the waters of Japan. In addition, its First Fleet has also passed through the Strait of Malacca.  , is approaching Taiwan in the South China Sea. " "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded: "I know all this. Fortunately, Duke Zhou has sent news that the German army has agreed to participate in the war, and they will attack the Soviet army within a month at the latest.  We will have no worries in the northwest and northeast. "Even if the German army joins the war against the Soviets, the Soviet army's millions of troops in the Far East may still launch attacks on our northeast and northwest borders."  Attack to threaten the northwest and northeastern rear of our country. The Soviets may even invade the Korean Peninsula and cut off the connection with our Liaodong Peninsula." Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Baili, there is no need to worry.  Yes, you underestimate the combat power of the German army. I bet that without external intervention, the Soviets would lose millions of troops and even be surrounded by the German army.  The capital is under attack!" "Losing millions of troops in one month? Losing one-third of the territory?" Jiang Baili said with a look of surprise and disbelief: "Is the Soviet army so vulnerable?  During the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army failed to do this when faced with our army, which was full of backward equipment and factions. What's more, the Soviet Union was completely unified. " "The Japanese army and the German army are not on the same level at all, no matter what.  Is it the national strength or the combat effectiveness of the army? "Old Maozi, apart from the vast territory and larger population, the combat effectiveness is also far behind the German army," Zhang Xinghan said.  "Forget it. Don't worry about it. Let's wait and see what happens. The most urgent thing is to fight the first battle between us and the Americans. The outcome of the first battle is extremely important." Zhang Xinghan changed the subject.  "Based on the current speed of the two major fleets of the US military, I estimate that the Americans want to launch attacks on the Japanese archipelago and our military on the Taiwan archipelago at the same time." Jiang Baili also changed his mind and analyzed.  "I'm telegraphing to Xue Yue, Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng that they must fight the first battle with the Yankees well, to inspire the morale of our officers and soldiers and the people of the country and their firm belief in victory." Zhang Xinghan said.  Jiang Baili nodded, and Zhang Xinghan added to Guo Zhong: "Send another message to Duke Zhou. Please ask him to stay in Germany temporarily. This will also facilitate direct communication and cooperation between the two countries during the war. The most important thing is safety.  The war between Su and Germany was raging in the Pacific, so I really don't want him to risk his life. " "Yes," Guo Zhong quickly stepped forward and responded.  Turn around and take the order to leave.  ………… Hawaii, U.S. Pacific Fleet Headquarters.  Nimitz, an old guy with a cigar in his mouth, was listening to the staff adjutants' reports on the progress of the two fleets.  "General, the Third Fleet will arrive in the waters of Hokkaido, Japan in two days. The First Fleet will arrive in the South China Sea in forty hours. The two fleets will launch attacks on the Chinese defenders in both places at the same time.  "In addition, the submarine forces of the two major naval fleets have set off early to hunt China's wolf submarine force." Nimitz puffed out a puff of smoke, holding a cigar in his hand, and said: "Damn China."  People, we must give them a taste of the power of our naval guns and aviation firepower this time. The blood of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Pacific Fleet will not be shed in vain!"  A sea area about 150 nautical miles north of Japan.  middle.  Two XXX submarines belonging to the submarine force directly under the Chinese Navy are in the process ofA U.S. submarine of unknown model launched a desperate fight.  The U.S. submarines were well prepared. The two xxi submarines encountered each other inadvertently. The degree of coincidence was no less than one in ten thousand.  However, the submarines equipped by the US military at this time were not much more advanced than the Japanese submarines, and were even inferior to some extent.  Therefore, after more than half an hour of chasing and fighting, two of the four US submarines have been destroyed.  The other two were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. How could the two Xxi submarines let go? They immediately turned around and pursued the US submarine at full speed.  Finally, after chasing for more than ten nautical miles, we successfully sunk them all.  This small-scale underwater encounter ended with the Chinese submarine force defeating the greater number with a small number and a complete victory.  The impact of this is that it directly forced the commander of the US submarine force to stop his so-called plan before departure to resolutely hunt down the Chinese submarine force and clear the strait obstacles for his own fleet.  After learning that all four submarines had been destroyed by two Chinese submarines, Nimitz was furious and ordered the Third Fleet to dispatch a surface destroyer anti-submarine fleet and underwater submarine forces to form a joint anti-submarine force.  Continue to advance toward the waters near Japan to search and suppress Chinese submarine forces.  At the same time, hundreds of U.S. carrier-based aircraft from several aircraft carriers of the Navy's Third Fleet took off one after another, preparing to launch the first round of retaliatory strikes against the Chinese defenders in Japan.  At the same time, the submarine force has learned that the US military has entered the effective strike range of its own fighters.  The Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Japan, Wang Yizhe, and Deputy Commander Huang Xiansheng, who were stationed in Tokyo, also sent hundreds of Zero fighters to cover fifty Stuka dive bombers to attack the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet, preparing to give them a  A head-on blow.  At the same time, Japan was ordered to station troops across Japan to increase vigilance and strengthen defense.  A group of extremely fast Zero fighters have also been dispatched one after another, cruising and flying in the airspace near important port cities such as Tokyo Bay, and forming a joint early warning system with early warning ships on the sea to prevent US air attacks.  The air defense units of each ground force division have already been assigned to various important areas, forming a powerful and dense air defense firepower network.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 554: Victory in the First Battle

    The carrier-based aircraft currently in service in the U.S. Navy are mainly F2A Buffalo fighters. Its basic performance, such as speed, range, ceiling, load, dead weight and other indicators, are quite close to the Zero fighters and BF109 fighters equipped by the Chinese Air Force.  However, in the Pacific-American War of World War II in history, the Buffalo carrier-based aircraft was completely helpless when facing the Zero fighter.  The battle between the two sides was almost a one-sided massacre, because in terms of firepower and agility, the Zero Type completely defeated the Buffalo Type.  The most famous of them should be the Battle of Midway. When 108 Japanese aircraft roared toward Midway in the early morning of June 4, 26 Marine Corps Buffaloes, with the cooperation of a small number of Wildcats, faced off against the enemy aircraft.  The ending was very tragic. Although the Catalina patrol plane that had been bravely tracking the Japanese aircraft group accurately dropped flares over the heads of the Japanese, the F2A was surrounded by 36 Zeros before it even got close to the bomber.  17 were shot down on the spot, 7 were injured, and only two returned safely. No "Zero" was lost, which was completely one-sided.  But at this time, the Americans have great hopes for this new carrier-based aircraft, which has just defeated Grumman's Wildcat in the competition and is in service with an extremely ugly appearance.  They even clamored to teach the Zero fighters equipped by the Chinese Air Force, which flies over China and Japan, a profound lesson.  It is an advanced fighter aircraft that is hailed by the Americans as being able to compete with the Zero fighter, and it shoulders the hopes of many American naval and air force officers and soldiers.  After nearly an hour of flight, this huge mixed fleet consisting of more than a hundred F2A-Buffalo carrier-based aircraft and a group of bombers finally entered the airspace near Hokkaido, Japan.  But unfortunately, they were discovered by two Zero fighter planes patrolling this area as soon as they entered the country.  The Zero fighter was not in a hurry to launch an attack, but immediately called for reinforcements through the modified communication equipment on the aircraft.  In just ten minutes, more than 20 Zero fighters cruising in the airspace near Hokkaido arrived one after another.  Without enough time to wait for more Zero fighters to come and join together, these more than twenty Zero fighters fearlessly launched an attack on the mixed US military fleet.  More than a hundred F2As responded with all their strength, but the progress of the battle exceeded the expectations of all US military pilots.  The exchange ratio between the U.S. military’s overwhelmingly superior fleet and the Chinese fighter fleet turned out to be an extremely high five to zero.  And this data is still expanding as the fight progresses.  Ten minutes later, more than thirty F2A Buffalo carrier-based aircraft were shot down by the US military. On average, three aircraft were shot down by Chinese Air Force fighters every minute.  The US military commander had completely lost the ambition he had before the expedition. He was so horrified that he immediately issued an order for the bomber group to return immediately.  At the same time, the fighter group was ordered to cover the evacuation of the bomber group, and then choose an opportunity to get rid of the Chinese fighter group, break away from the battle and return home.  In the end, this fierce air battle, in which the numbers of the two sides were completely unequal, ended in a disastrous defeat for the US military, which lost 40% of its fighter planes.  Although the performance of the Zero fighter is better than that of the F2A Buffalo, the reason why the US military suffered such a heavy defeat despite having such a numerical advantage.  Mainly due to the level gap between the pilots of the two sides, most of the pilots of the Chinese Air Force at this time were outstanding pilots who had just experienced several years of fighting against the Sun and the Soviet Union.  Their rich air combat experience and flight experience not only offset the numerical disadvantage of their own fighters, but also directly affected the combat power ratio between the two sides.  Although the US military pilots are well-trained, most of them are rookies who have never been on the battlefield. How can training flight and actual combat be compared.  Of course, the performance of the Zero fighter itself is superior to that of the Buffalo carrier-based aircraft, as well as the strong and determined fighting will of the Chinese pilots and their desperate spirit to devote themselves to the motherland. These are all indispensable factors for the complete victory of this first air battle between China and the United States.  important factor that is missing.  At the same time, a mixed air strike group consisting of more than a hundred Zero fighters and fifty Stuka dive bombers also arrived in the airspace near the sea area where the U.S. Third Fleet is located.  However, the PBY Catalina amphibious patrol aircraft released by the U.S. Navy’s Third Fleet saved the fate of the entire Navy’s Third Fleet.  Two PBY patrol aircraft that were performing patrol and warning missions in the airspace not far from the fleet discovered the sudden appearance of a huge Chinese aircraft fleet and immediately conveyed an alarm message to the Third Fleet Flagship Command.  However, these two amphibious patrol aircraft, which were the most widely used during World War II, were quickly hit by the powerful firepower of two Zero fighters. The PBYs, which did not have self-sealing fuel tanks and thick defensive armor, caught fire and exploded one after another, and fell into the vast sea.  &nbsp;Although the warning time issued by the two PBY patrol aircraft was very short, it was enough for the Third Fleet to be vigilant and take all prevention and control measures.  When a huge fleet of more than 150 fighters and bombers entered the airspace near the U.S. Third Fleet.  It was immediately intercepted by more than 20 American F2A Buffalo carrier-based aircraft and Catalina patrol aircraft that were left behind.  At the same time, the anti-aircraft artillery fire on each of its warships was also in full force.  China’s Zero fighter fleet easily shot down the U.S. interceptor aircraft one by one, but the more than 50 Stuka dive fighters responsible for bombing at a slightly slower speed were hit by the U.S. military’s intensive air defense firepower.  In just over ten minutes, more than half of them were lost, and many others were injured.  In order to be able to win the first battle against the Chinese [***] fleet, the reorganized U.S. Third Naval Fleet has four aircraft carriers, more than 50 destroyers, more than 20 battleships, cruisers, and hundreds of ships.  of various gunboats.  Its anti-aircraft firepower is definitely not comparable to that of the Japanese naval fleet.  In view of the excessive losses of the bomber group, it is no longer able to break through the US military's dense air defense firepower network and bomb its aircraft carrier.  The Chinese Air Force commander leading the team was forced to issue a retreat order.  However, the Zero fighter group still achieved a good result in shooting down more than 20 enemy aircraft. Counting the battle losses of its own Stuka bombers, the exchange ratio with the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet in this encounter was basically about one to one.  However, what neither side expected was that the Chinese aircraft fleet that was forced to return would encounter dozens of US bombers in the air not long after their return.  Originally, the chance of encountering them in the air was very small, but it was not far from the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet. The U.S. bombers managed to escape and flew straight to the mothership.  In this way, it was no coincidence that they encountered the Chinese fighter jet group that had just failed to carry out an air strike.  The carrier-based bombers of the US military at this time, like the Buffalo fighters, are still relatively backward models. Not to mention the Zero fighters, even the Stuka fighters that perform bombing missions are no match for them.  The pilots of the Stuka formation, who had suffered heavy losses just now, turned their anger into a rain of bullets and poured it on the US bomber group.  In a melee, under the attack of the Chinese Air Force, which had an absolute numerical and capability advantage, more than forty US bombers suffered a devastating blow.  More than thirty bombers were shot down directly, and the remaining ones flew for a certain distance before catching fire and exploding into the sea.  In the end, less than five of them managed to return safely.  Although the Chinese Air Force paid the price of more than 20 Stuka dive bombers and dozens of pilots, they achieved a brilliant record of shooting down more than 110 US military fighters and bombers.  This brilliant result directly caused the U.S. Third Fleet to lose control of the air, forcing Nimitz to order the U.S. Third Fleet to immediately stop advancing and return.  To avoid being bombed by larger-scale air strikes by the Chinese Air Force bombers.  ………………… “Commissioner, the dispatched troops stationed in Japan won the first battle.” In Nanjing, Jiang Baili handed Zhang Xinghan the victory report that he urgently needed.  After reading it, Zhang Xinghan said excitedly: "Great, we need this victory so much. The great Chinese nation is invincible." Jiang Baili also said excitedly: "Yes, this victory is of far-reaching significance.  Ah, Xue Yue and Wang Yizhe called one after another saying that the two American fleets were forced to stop their advance, and the third fleet, which suffered heavy losses, actually returned. " "However, while we are happy, we have to admit one thing.  It’s just that the U.S. military’s equipment is much more advanced and powerful than the Japanese. It lost more than twenty Stuka dive bombers at one time, which is a loss we have never had before,” Zhang Xinghan said with some heartache.  Jiang Baili also put away his smile and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Americans are much more difficult to deal with than the Japanese. The most important thing is that the war potential of the two sides is by no means on the same level. "Commissioner, if you say this, it is a humble position.  Some are worried. After the Americans are defeated, they will definitely be able to find out the reasons and develop more advanced fighters. By then, our battle losses will probably be even greater. " Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully: "This is inevitable.  Yes, that’s why I asked Xinghua to step up the training of our new air force in the Northeast. The war between us and the United States is not only about national strength and military strength, but also the most important thing is the resilience of the entire nation. The United States is a country of immigrants.  There is no national concept, once they are in AsiaIf it damages the psychological endurance of the people, it will be impossible for Roosevelt to continue fighting even if he wants to.  Therefore, the key is that we must inflict the greatest damage and damage to the US military as much as possible in the early stages of the war before the US military fully upgrades their existing equipment.  " "What the commissioner said makes sense.  "Jiang Baili said. "However, what I am more worried about now is that the Americans who are afraid of death in war may draw other European and American countries to participate in this war to share their war losses and consumption of national and military power.  Roosevelt would definitely do this!  " Zhang Xinghan said.

    "The commission means that Roosevelt will draw Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries to join the war against our country?" Jiang Baili asked.  "Well, definitely. Let's not talk about the relationship between the British and the Americans. If the Americans cannot defeat us in Asia, then the colonies of European and American powers such as France and the Netherlands in Asia will always be threatened by our country. So,  They will definitely unite to deal with our army. Even though these old colonial powers are in decline, now that the giant United States is taking the lead, providing money, guns and weapons, they are still very happy to deal with us. "Zhang Xinghan.  He nodded.  "Then wouldn't we have to face greater military and political pressure and diplomacy?" Jiang Baili suddenly became very worried.  "It's not that serious, as long as Hitler leads the German army to launch a war in Eastern Europe. Coupled with geographical relations, it is difficult for Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries to mobilize troops from Europe to Asia. At best, they can order their colonial legions in Southeast Asia to collude with the US military.  . Starting directly from the land to the southwest of our country, the attack was launched. "Zhang Xinghan analyzed.  "Invading from Southeast Asia? Really, wouldn't it mean that once the US military is unable to break through our first island chain defense line, or to avoid the risk of bypassing Taiwan and Japan's garrison and attacking our mainland, it will most likely choose to attack our mainland from Southeast Asia.  Implement a land attack. If this is the case, we must strengthen the southwest border defense force as soon as possible, just in case." Jiang Baili said.  "This, I have already made a plan. I will deploy the troops of the Central Army faction headed by Jiang Gong to station in the southwestern provinces, and form the Southwest Frontier Defense Force with the Guangxi Clique, Sichuan Army, and Yunnan Army." Zhang Xinghan said.  "Transfer the Central Army? There are also the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army. They have poor equipment and low combat effectiveness. Can they stop the US military, which is fully mechanized?" Jiang Baili was not optimistic about them.  In his view, the only ones that can compete head-on with the US military now are the first-class National Defense Forces, which were expanded from the original Northeastern Border Guards.  Zhang Xinghan said very confidently: "Brother Baili, there are many mountainous areas in the southwest, which is not conducive to the advancement of mechanized troops. On the contrary, it is conducive to the Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army to exert their respective special advantages. Therefore, with the dangerous terrain, they will definitely be able to defeat the British and American troops."  The allied forces of France and other countries block the border. The colonial legions of Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries in Southeast Asia are simply a bunch of ragtag groups. The most important thing is the US military, but the geography of the southwest is complex and dangerous.  The environment will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the US military. The Yankees cannot defeat us in this kind of mountain and forest warfare. " Zhang Xinghan's confidence did not come out of thin air. First of all, the Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and Guangxi Army are fighting on their own soil and are familiar with it.  Terrain, with popular support.  They are good at mountain warfare and jungle warfare, but Americans are different. In the dangerous traffic environment of the southwest, the wheels of American cars and the tracks of tanks and armored vehicles will not be as fast as a pair of feet.  “Aircrafts may lose their way when entering the mountains in the southwest, let alone provide precise aerial fire support for ground troops.  Throughout the modern history that Zhang Xinghan is familiar with, during the Vietnam War after World War II, the American military, national strength and advanced weapons level were far stronger than they are now.  There is nothing that can be done about Ho Chi Minh's Viet Cong guerrillas who only occupy half of Vietnam.  At this time, in such a complex environment, it is even more impossible for the Americans to defeat the border guards composed of allied forces from the southwestern provinces.  While the two were talking, Guo Zhong suddenly walked in hurriedly, saluted Zhang Xinghan and said: "Commissioner, Vice Chairman Jiang would like to see you." "Oh? You said Cao Feng, Cao Fuck is here." Zhang Xinghan smiled in surprise.  .  "It seems that Mr. Jiang and the committee members want to go together." Jiang Baili analyzed: "However, it cannot be ruled out that this is a move by Mr. Jiang to get rid of the control of the Central Military Commission." Zhang Xinghan sighed and said: "Mr. Jiang also  It’s not easy. We don’t have to do it all. Letting him sit in the southwest today can be regarded as leaving a way out for him.” Zhang Xinghan knew that sooner or later, he would have to delegate power to the Chinese [***], and the Kuomintang would never be able to control the mainland.  Defensible.  "My own direct troops already have a way out, that is, the Korean Peninsula, Outer Mongolia, and in the future the entire Soviet Union, Siberia, and Japan.  Southeast Asia is currently the most suitable place for Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army to establish a foothold. There are many ethnic Chinese there, which is very suitable for building another Chinese country.  Of course, Zhang Xinghan’s vision is still very far. In the future, if China and Germany defeat the Western powers led by Britain and the United States. ? Then it will gain great voice and war benefits around the world.  Future??The three major Chinese circles, land and overseas territories combined will most likely surpass any dynasty in the history of the Chinese nation.  It even exceeded the territory of the Mongol Empire established by the Mongols.  Instructed Guo Zhong to invite Duke Jiang to come in. Sure enough, Princess Chiang made the request to dispatch 600,000 direct troops of the Central Army to station in the southwestern provinces to prevent Britain, the United States and other countries from invading our southwest from land.  Zhang Xinghan readily agreed, which was beyond Jiang Gong's expectation, so Jiang Gong said goodbye and left in a happy mood.  After this period of nationwide military expansion, the strength of the remaining troops in the four major front armies has exceeded the original full strength.  “Coupled with the three million land, sea and air forces stationed on the first island chain defense line, China’s total military strength has now reached seven million.  Of course, more than half of them are recruits.  In order to preserve a certain combat effectiveness and vitality of the troops, Zhang Xinghan requested that the 600,000 former Central Army troops transferred by Chairman Chiang be transferred at a ratio of one to four.  That is to say, only one of every five veterans of the Central Army is allowed to be transferred, and the remaining four are retained and adapted on the spot.  The balance will be fully replenished by new recruits.  In order to be able to leave the southeast of the town, Jiang Gong reluctantly agreed to this condition.  As long as there are 150,000 veterans, these 600,000 troops still have a chance to grow as soon as possible.  The Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, and the Guangxi-Guangxi Clan have previously mobilized hundreds of thousands of elite troops to join Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Defense Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Shandong Army to form the current active forces.  Most of them are stationed in the Japanese Islands, Taiwan Islands, Ryukyu Islands and the Korean Peninsula.  Therefore, the Yunnan Army and the Sichuan Army have also added many new soldiers. This will not cause Jiang Gong's 600,000 Central Army to be untenable in the southwest.  At the same time, in order to facilitate wartime command, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili decided after discussion to change the four front armies into four frontier defense armies, namely the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, the Southwest Border Defense Force and the Southeast Border Defense Force.  In addition, the three million troops on the Taiwan Islands, Japan Islands, and Ryukyu Islands were reorganized into the dispatched troops stationed in Japan and the South China Sea and East China Sea border defense forces.  These three million troops and the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force and the Southeast Frontier Defense Force are all under the direct jurisdiction of Zhang Xinghan.  In order to facilitate Jiang Gong to gain a foothold in the southwest as soon as possible, Zhang Xinghan specially appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the newly established Southwest Border Defense Army, which will control all the armies in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and parts of Tibet Province.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 556: German Army Attacks Poland

    United States, White House, Office of the President.  .?Roosevelt sat in his office chair with a livid face, his eyes coldly scanning the several navy leaders in front of him.  "The first battle with Squadron [***] was of great importance. The Third Fleet actually suffered such heavy losses, which greatly affected the trust and support of our people in us. It was an even greater blow to our armed forces.  The morale of the personnel is simply too bad!" Roosevelt gritted his teeth and roared.  Several navy leaders held their military caps in one hand and lowered their heads with guilty looks on their faces.  One of them said: "Mr. President, this air battle over Hokkaido proves that our carrier-based aircraft are very backward compared to the Zero fighters equipped by the [***] Squadron. Therefore, we must equip more  Only advanced and more powerful carrier-based aircraft can fight against it and ultimately win. "As far as I know, the naval aviation's active carrier-based aircraft have just entered service. This actual battle is their first battle. So they failed?"  Roosevelt said somewhat dissatisfied.  "Yes, but actual combat shows that it is indeed unable to compete with the Chinese Air Force's active aircraft." The person in charge of the navy said with a look of shame.  "Then urge the aircraft manufacturers to develop new, more advanced aircraft as soon as possible!" Roosevelt roared at the top of his lungs.  "However, Mr. President, the development of a new fighter aircraft, from the beginning to passing the experiment and then to being commissioned into the army, does not happen overnight. Before the new fighter aircraft is officially put into service, we cannot suppress the Chinese navy and air force, cannot obtain air supremacy, and cannot obtain sea supremacy.  "Without air and sea control, it is impossible to cut off the connection between China's first island chain and its homeland. Naturally, it is impossible to launch an attack on China's mainland and destroy their war potential to win this war."  A senior naval officer said.  Roosevelt looked at him with complicated eyes and said: "What do you mean?" "With all due respect, I think that before we are unable to obtain absolute air and sea supremacy, we should suspend this dangerous offensive with no chance of winning. We will attack.  By postponing the plan until the new fighter aircraft enters service, we can better operate the country's war machine and make the best preparations for this war with our huge war potential," the senior naval officer said with his head lowered.  After hearing this, Roosevelt immediately objected: "No, absolutely not. The war has been launched. How can our armed forces stop attacking because of this small defeat? In that case, the people who have high hopes for the army will lose their trust in us.  Trust. I will also lose credibility with the people of the country.” Roosevelt deliberately provoked this war and naturally would not agree to the recommendation of naval officials to temporarily cease the war.  That would be tantamount to admitting to the world that the U.S. [***] force is powerful enough to protect the security and integrity of U.S. citizens and territory, and is no match for the Chinese [***] force.  The entire Roosevelt administration will immediately lose its status in the minds of the American people, and the direct result may be the collapse of the Roosevelt cabinet.  Therefore, he categorically rejected the suggestions of his subordinates without even thinking about it.  The navy chief who spoke first saw this and said in embarrassment: "If we continue to launch an attack by force, maybe we will make the same mistake as the Pacific Fleet. Of course, I believe this gap between fighters is only temporary. As long as we  If we can concentrate our efforts, I think we will be able to develop a more advanced fighter aircraft in the shortest possible time, a new aircraft that can compete with the Zero fighter, thereby reversing the situation of superiority and inferiority between the enemy and ourselves in the sky, seizing air supremacy, and thus helping the navy to seize air supremacy.  "Of course, if we can capture one or two Zero fighters, it will be a great opportunity for our aircraft manufacturers to develop advanced fighters targeted at them."  "Can the Navy capture the Zero?" Roosevelt asked.  The senior naval officer shook his head and said: "No, so far, we have not shot down a Zero fighter. Moreover, even if there are Zero fighters shot down during the naval battle, we cannot capture them because they all crashed.  The best way is to send the army to attack the Chinese mainland to see if there is any hope of capturing the Chinese Zero fighter jets in the battle. "Attack from the land?" Roosevelt suddenly asked.  Liang, thinking that he was lobbying Britain, France, the Netherlands and other old countries with colonies in the Far East to join the war.  Immediately thought of a shortcut to attack China, and this seemed to be the best way to achieve the best offensive effect when the navy and air force were temporarily unable to exert their offensive effect due to the temporary backwardness of fighter planes.? is also the only option.  …………China, Nanjing National Government, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.  "Commissioner, according to the news from Taiwan and Japan, there has been no movement from the Americans in the past two days. Is there some conspiracy?" Jiang Baili sat across from Zhang Xinghan's desk and asked.  Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette, looked down at some important documents, and said with a frown: "It is unknown whether there is a conspiracy or not, but the Americans are probably scared of our air force, and may be stepping up their efforts to develop a machine that can compete with our Zero  "Then we can take some action. As the saying goes, offense is the best defense. What do you think?" Jiang Baili said.  "Well, I think it's okay. We can order the submarine force and the air force to take the initiative to search for lone US ships and aircraft as much as possible and attack them." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  While the two were discussing, Zhang Xinghan's personal adjutant and major general's guard regiment leader Guo Zhong suddenly walked in from outside.  After saluting the two of them, Guo Zhong said: "Commissioner, Mr. Jiang, Duke Zhou has received news from Germany that Hitler has ordered Guderian to command two armies. More than one million ground troops and air forces are divided into two groups, and they are divided into two groups.  The Czech Republic and Austria (both of which had been incorporated into the Third Reich before) attacked Poland. In addition, Germany's war machine was already fully operational. In at least one month, Germany would mobilize more than five million troops to attack the Soviet Union.  Launch a surprise attack. " Jiang Baili is not a time traveler, and is obviously a little surprised by the Germans' war mobilization capabilities and speed.  Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "An army of five million is enough for an old man to drink a pot. This time, the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in the junior high school and Du Ting's Northeast Frontier Defense Force can relax and train on a large scale." "Commissioner, the German army is really  Have such rapid war mobilization capabilities?" Jiang Baili questioned a little.  "Well, there is no doubt that since Hitler came to power, the Germans have developed very quickly. Of course, their starting point is not low. They have mastered various industrial foundations and technologies, so it is not surprising that they are developing rapidly." Zhang Xinghan nodded.  .  ps: This is the only update today. The state is not very good. As usual, I will make up for the fourth update tomorrow. I wish everyone a happy weekend!

    "Especially, the Germans' transportation is much more developed than ours. All kinds of railways and highways are like spider webs connecting the whole country. In fact, the overall transportation level in Europe is higher than ours." Zhang Xing said with serious emphasis in Chinese:  "All in all, we still have a long way to go on the overall level in all aspects." "Yes, Baili now only hopes that when the war is over, our Chinese nation can fully develop the economy and comprehensively build a prosperous nation.  A powerful country." Jiang Baili also sighed.  …………… In Taiwan, reconnaissance aircraft have taken off from three airports: Chiayi Military Airport, Taipei Military Airport, and Tainan Kaohsiung Military Airport.  They were ordered by Xue Yue, Commander-in-Chief of the Border Guard Force in Taiwan, to search for traces of the US 1st Fleet in the South China Sea.  At the same time, more than fifty submarines temporarily under the control of the South China Sea Border Guard also set out secretly from the port to form a joint search force with aerial reconnaissance aircraft from the seabed to launch a search for the 1st Fleet of the US Navy, which had temporarily stopped attacking.  However, at the same time, receiving orders from Zhang Xinghan to dispatch reconnaissance planes and submarines, Wang Yizhe, commander-in-chief of the dispatched troops stationed in Japan, Huang Xiansheng and others were also sent.  They also dispatched a large number of aircraft and submarines to search for the U.S. Navy’s 3rd Fleet, which had basically lost air supremacy, and prepared to launch a new round of active attacks against it.  …………… Prime Minister’s Official Residence, London, England.  The current British Prime Minister Churchill formally replied to US President Roosevelt, agreeing to Roosevelt's request to unite the US military to fight against the Chinese [***] troops in all British colonies in the Far East, mainly India, Burma, Malaysia, Brunei and other regions.  .  And, at the same time, Churchill also agreed to Britain’s formal declaration of war on China.  The Netherlands and France followed the United Kingdom and successively declared war on China in early February of the 26th year of the Republic of China.  However, the combat forces and areas are limited to colonial legions such as Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia.  The French are obviously much more wary of Germany, which has just declared an undeclared war on Poland.  As for the British and the Dutch, they also focused more on Europe, especially the Dutch. They bordered Germany. During the period of Germany's large-scale offensive and expansion to the east, they did not dare to draw troops from their own country even if they were killed.  Go to Asia and attack China.  ??Moreover, since the Dutch were defeated by the British at sea and the French on land, they once subjugated the country and merged with France, and now the city has been established as a constitutional monarchy.  It is no longer the powerful country that once was the coachman of the sea. Today, it is extremely weak in terms of national strength and military power in Europe after World War I.  To the Germans, they are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Otherwise, there would not have been such a tragic event in the history of World War II that the Netherlands surrendered to the Germans in just four days and the Netherlands became a government in exile.  Therefore, it is impossible for such a declining so-called powerful country to have the strength to send reinforcements to Asia.  The reason why they dare to declare war on the Chinese [***] team that now dominates Asia is entirely to follow the footsteps of their big brother Ying and France.  ……… On the same day, Zhang Xinghan announced that the Republic of China formally declared war on Britain, France, and the Netherlands.  And announced the abolition of any humiliating treaties and clauses signed by the cowardly and incompetent Manchu Qing government with the foreign powers.  That is to say, the so-called lease treaty in Hong Kong and Macao will expire from now on, and China’s armed forces may send troops at any time to regain these two inherent Chinese territorial areas.  After Britain, France, and the Netherlands declared war on each other, an airborne division of the U.S. Army signed an alliance agreement with Britain and France, and acted as the vanguard to land on the colonies of the two countries, as well as the northern border towns of Vietnam and Myanmar close to China.  At the same time, a huge transportation group composed of one unit each of the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Pacific Fleet transported the first batch of about 100,000 U.S. Army troops through the Strait of Malacca.  Thousands of marines from its First Fleet also landed at ports in northern Vietnam and headed to the Sino-Vietnamese border to meet up with the First Division of their Airborne Forces.  …………Nanjing, when Zhang Xinghan reported the latest movements of the British, American, French and Dutch [***] troops through the overseas agents of the Military Command and Secrecy Bureau.  Especially, a large number of U.S. Army troops have passed through the Strait of Malacca under the escort of the Navy.  He said: "It seems that Roosevelt has been planning for a long time. He has long concluded that Britain, France and other congresses have agreed to declare war on us, so he has been preparing for it." Jiang Baili said: "Fortunately, you have the foresight to transfer the Central Army to the southwest."  Guard, otherwise we will really be in a hurry. However, I think we should call Mr. Jiang immediately to remind him.??Strengthen defenses, especially at the border between Guangxi and Yunnan. Li Zongren and Long Yun must be more vigilant in case the allied forces of Britain, France, the United States, and the Netherlands launch a sudden attack and are caught off guard and lose the border defense!  " "Well, what you say makes sense. Immediately call Mr. Jiang, Li Zongren, and Long Yun respectively to urge them to strengthen their defenses and not to give the great powers an opportunity to take advantage of them.  No matter what the cost, you must defend the defense line for me and never lose the southwest!  Zhang Xinghan said. …………… Wuhan, Jiang Gong’s temporary official residence. Since Hu Zongnan and Gu Zhuping, the direct descendants of Jiang Gong led an army of 600,000 to the southwest respectively, Jiang Gong, Chen Lifu brothers and others moved from Fenghua to Fenghua.  Wuhan. With the support of Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Gong's 600,000 troops can legitimately enter the southwestern provinces. It is only a matter of time for Jiang Gong to occupy the magpie's nest. He has full confidence in unifying the southwestern provinces and rebuilding himself.  When the situation changed in the future, he would fight with Zhang Xinghan to win over the Central Plains, because Jiang Gong had the ability to defeat Li Zongren and Liu in both politics and conspiracy.  The confidence of Xiang, Long Yun and others. What he needed now was a suitable opportunity. Therefore, when he learned that Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries had declared war on China and began to gather troops on China's southwest border, he was so excited that he almost stayed up all night.  From Jiang Gong's perspective, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to take control of the southwest. In this way, the 600,000 troops of Hu Zongnan, Gu Zhu and others can legitimately enter the border defense of the southwest provinces, which is a must to fight against the invasion of foreign powers.  Top priority. In a secret conference room, Jiang Zhizhong and Zhang Zhizhong discussed the troops stationed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and other provinces. Wang Shi and the guard chief came in excitedly with a telegram in their hands and saluted the former: "Committee."  Wait, call from Nanjing.  " Jiang Gong reached out to take the telegram, read it once, and then smiled at Zhang Zhizhong and said: "Haha, Zhang Xinghan's intelligence is quite sensitive, but with this telegram, the development of our troops should be much smoother.  "Commissioner, the Yankees are coming in force this time, and they have the colonial legions of Britain, France and the Netherlands as their minions. Although our army has an advantage in strength, it may still be very passive if it does not have air supremacy."  "Zhang Zhizhong suggested worriedly: "So, I suggest you send a message to Chairman Zhang and ask him to dispatch a group of aircraft to important areas such as Yunnan and Guangxi.  To prevent our army from completely losing air supremacy and falling into a passive situation of being beaten.  " "Well, that makes sense.  Jiang Gong nodded when he heard this, and immediately said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, send a message to Zhang Xinghan immediately, saying that the European and American powers are coming fiercely, and it may be difficult to defend against the enemy without an air force."  In order to boost the morale and military morale of our millions of soldiers of the Southwest Border Defense Force, I ask him to send one hundred to two hundred capable fighter planes to the southwest to defend our southwest airspace!  "    "yes.  Wang Shihe responded with a bang, then turned around and took the order to leave. ………Nanjing, the Chairman’s Office. When Guo Zhong sent Jiang Gong’s message for help to Zhang Xinghan, Zhang Xinghan picked it up and took a look, then fell into deep thought.  Among them, Jiang Baili, who had been working with him on the documents, saw this and asked, "Commissioner, what's wrong?  " "Someone from Jiang asked me for aircraft support, and I was hesitant whether to give it or not.  "Zhang Xinghan mused thoughtfully. "Are the committee members worried that after these air forces are stationed in the southwest, they will be taken over by Jiang Gong for his own use?  "Jiang Baili asked back. "That's not true. The air force was created by us. Even if the pilots are bribed, we can easily destroy them. Mr. Jiang has no supporting ground staff and facilities, let alone expendable replacement fighters.  Even if all the air forces sent surrendered to him, he would not be able to exert their combat effectiveness for a long time.  " Zhang Xinghan said. "Then what are you worried about, Commissioner?  "Jiang Baili asked. "I'm not worried, but thinking that for the current plan, air forces need to be stationed in the East China Sea and South China Sea, as well as in the direction of the Koryo Peninsula and in important cities on our southeast coast to strengthen our military's defense capabilities.  From which theater should aircraft be dispatched to the southwest?  You must know that only by deploying a sufficiently powerful air force in Japan and the Taiwan Islands can we temporarily deter the U.S. naval fleet and gain the initiative and upper hand on the battlefield.  "Zhang Xinghan said with a gloomy look. Jiang Baili thought for a while and said, "Commissioner, I have an idea.  "    "Um?  tell me the story.  "Zhang Xinghan looked at him curiously. "Now, the German army's attack on the Soviet Union has been announced.However, the pressure faced by our Northwest Frontier Force will be doubled by then. Do you think it is possible to mobilize a group of German fighter jets from General Gao Chu's Northwest Frontier Force to make up for the lack of air power in the Southwest Theater.  "Jiang Baili hit the nail on the head. After Zhang Xinghan heard this, he immediately slammed the table and said: "This method is good and completely feasible. I didn't think of it at the moment.  " "Adjutant Guo, please immediately send a message to Gao Chu and order him to dispatch one hundred and fifty German BF-109 fighters to the southwest.  ” After winning the Battle of Outer Mongolia, in view of the fact that the Northwest Frontier Force would temporarily need to be on the defensive, Zhang Xinghan replaced all the fighter jets in this theater with BF109 fighters whose combat capabilities were no less than that of the Zero. The range was extended  , all the Zero fighter jets that are more suitable for sea and air operations on the first island chain have been transferred to Taiwan, Japan, and local cities on the southeast coast. PS: First update, and three more.

    Cullen, General Headquarters of the Northwest Frontier Force.  Gao Chu and his adjutant had just returned from inspecting the troops outside. Today's Outer Mongolia is much colder than the interior of the motherland.  “Moreover, the wind and sand are particularly strong.  Gao Chu was dressed like a big rice dumpling all over his body. After entering the command center with the stove burning, it was like spring. It was so warm that one couldn't help but stretch out comfortably.  Having just taken off the plush locomotive hat that covered his face, Gao Chu took the hot water from a left-behind adjutant.  He said with emotion: "Damn it, thank goodness we are all from the Northeast, otherwise we would really get frozen here." "No, the weather in Outer Mongolia is really different from the Heilongjiang border in the Northeast.  It's a fight!" said the adjutant who handed the water.  While he was talking, a communications staff officer hurried in with a telegram in his hand. When he came up to him, he saluted Gao Chu and said, "General sir, the commissioner has sent an urgent message from Nanjing." Upon hearing this, Gao Chu immediately put away his smile and put the teacup in his hands.  He put it on the table, reached out and took the message, read it hastily, and immediately said to the adjutant and communications staff: "Go and notify the Air Force immediately, and immediately transfer one hundred and fifty BF109 fighters to Yinchuan and fill up with fuel."  After that, they immediately went south and were ordered to station in the southwest." Seeing Gao Chu's serious expression, the two men did not dare to neglect. They quickly stood up and responded at the same time, then turned and left.  After watching his two subordinates leave, Gao Chu picked up the water glass and murmured: It seems that the war in the south is about to become tense.  ……………… Wuhan, Mr. Jiang is visiting.  "Commissioner, that's great. Zhang Xinghan has agreed to dispatch one hundred and fifty of the most advanced BF109 German fighter planes from the northwest and stationed them in the southwest." Zhang Zhizhong told Jiang somewhat excitedly.  My admiration for Zhang Xinghan deepened in my heart.  Jiang Gong smiled and nodded, thinking, Zhang Xinghan is really unambiguous in his national justice.  …………… Guangxi, Nanning, Li Zongren’s official residence.  Now Li Zongren is nominally the vice chairman of the Military Commission at the same level as Chiang Kai-shek.  But this time Zhang Xinghan established the Southwest Frontier Defense Force, and Jiang Gong became the commander-in-chief.  However, he only became a deputy commander-in-chief, and he was still nominally suppressed by Duke Jiang.  This made him very depressed. Bai Chongxi was now left in Nanjing by Zhang Xinghan.  There is no one around you to solve your problems or talk about your worries.  Therefore, Li Zongren is very depressed now.  But Huang Shaohong, one of the three giants of the Gui clan, is enlightening him now.  "Gong De, don't be discouraged. In name, Jiang is the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Frontier Force, but you are also the deputy commander-in-chief. And the most important thing is that on the ground in Guangxi, you still have the final say.  " Li Zongren said a little frustrated: "In this matter, Zhang Xinghan is obviously colluding with Jiang Zhongzheng to deliberately suppress our Guangxi clique. With Jiang's character, he will not let go of this good opportunity to infiltrate Guangxi.  , If I guessed correctly, he should have sent troops to my territory in Guangxi by now. " Huang Shaohong was about to persuade me again, but unexpectedly, an adjutant suddenly walked in from outside.  "Sir, there are about 10,000 people from the First Department of the Central Army. They entered our Guangxi territory from the Shaoyang and Yongzhou areas. Our troops stationed in Xing'an and other places asked for instructions whether to let them enter." After saluting Li and Huang, the adjutant reported.  Li Zongren was startled at first.  Then he patted the table and said: "Look, what am I talking about? Jiang Zhongzheng is a man who will do anything, so I said he will not let go of any opportunity." Huang Shaohong patiently persuaded: "Gong De, don't do it.  Worried, Chiang Kai-shek currently only has 600,000 troops stationed in five southwestern provinces. Moreover, I heard that Zhang Xinghan kept 450,000 of the 600,000 veterans and only gave him 150,000.  How many troops can he send to Guangxi with the addition of 400,000 new recruits? We are deeply rooted in Guangxi. How can he easily occupy the magpie's nest and dominate us? Besides, we Guangxi have confidence in ourselves.  The department has sufficient troops to counter the attacks of the US and British forces alone. We can use this as an excuse to refuse Jiang Gong's troops to continue to move south. "However, before Huang Shaohong finished speaking, another communications soldier came in from outside.  , saluted the two of them and said: "Two sirs, Chairman Zhang is calling from Nanjing." Huang Shaohong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Li Zongren, who raised his hand to pass the message.  Just after taking a look, Li Zongren's expression suddenly changed.  Huang Shaohong on the side felt his heart tighten,He said: "Gong De, what did Zhang Xinghan say in the telegram?" Li Zongren handed the telegram to Huang Shaohong and said with some disappointment: "Mr. Zhang asked us to let the Central Army enter Guangxi territory.  The interests of the country and the nation are the top priority. Joining forces with the Central Army to fight against the enemy, huh, this is indirectly helping Chiang Kai-shek to usurp our Guangxi clique's territory." Huang Shaohong read Zhang Xinghan's call carefully with a heavy heart and thought for a moment.  , He said: "Mr. Virtue, don't be impulsive. Now that Zhang Xinghan is the leader in the world, it is at the peak of the sun and he occupies the banner of national justice. For the present, we can only follow the orders of the central government. Otherwise, he may be killed by someone with ulterior motives at any time.  If we are charged with serious crimes of collaborating with foreign enemies and betraying the country and the nation, then we will be completely finished. We can only take strict precautions against the Central Army entering the country. I understand that they will not dare to play any tricks at this stage.  "Li Zongren thought for a long time, forced to calm down his impulsive mood, and said calmly: "It seems that this is the only way." "Huang Shaohong is right, in the current situation, Zhang Xinghan is purely based on national interests.  Based on the overall interests of the country.  You must obey his orders, otherwise you may fall into a desperate situation from which you will never recover.  Sure enough, after a while, another communication staff reported with a telegram that Bai Chongxi had sent an urgent telegram from Nanjing.  It turns out that after learning about Zhang Xinghan’s latest series of deployments, Bai Chongxi was deeply afraid that Li Zongren would act impulsively and do something detrimental to the current national unified external situation, so he quickly sent a message to persuade Li Zongren.  With the persuasion of Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren had no choice but to swallow his anger and agree to the Central Army's entry into Guangxi.  Myanmar, Mandalay, an important town in the north.  The headquarters of the U.S. First Airborne Division is now stationed here.  The current commander of the 1st Airborne Division, Army Lieutenant General MacArthur, is working with his staff to formulate a combat plan to attack the Chinese border defense line.  Today’s MacArthur is due to the arrival of Zhang Xinghan, which has led to changes in history, so he wears multiple hats under the Hu Die Effect.  In addition to the titles of Philippine Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the Philippine Army, MacArthur also became a U.S. Army Lieutenant General four years ahead of schedule.  And in this war against China, he served as the division commander of the 82nd Army Division, known as the first airborne division in the United States.  This 82nd Division is the famous ace division of the US military in history, keeping pace with the 101st Division.  Its predecessor was the 82nd Division of the Army, which was established in World War I on August 25, 1917. Since the officers and soldiers of the division when it was first established were all from all 48 states in the United States, it won the title of "All-American Division"  The reputation of ".  In the spring of 1918, the 82nd Airborne Division crossed the ocean and went on an expedition to France. It participated in three major battles and dealt a powerful blow to the German army.  After World War I, the 82nd Infantry Division was converted into a reserve division.  In the original history, during World War II, the United States converted this division into an active division based on combat needs.  Due to environmental considerations and operational needs, the U.S. Army officially changed the name of the 82nd Infantry Division to the 82nd Airborne Division on August 15, 1942.  In 1943, the 82nd Airborne Division carried out parachute and airborne assaults on Sicily and Salerno, Italy respectively, playing an important role in the smooth offensive of the Allied forces in Italy.  In 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division participated in the largest airborne operation in its history and successfully defeated the German army in Normandy.  In this operation, the 82nd Airborne Division pre-selected terrain similar to the airborne area to repeatedly practice airborne operations, and enhanced the training effect by adding simulated training.  The 82nd Airborne Division first made a detailed model of the airborne area according to the size and proportion of the terrain and features, then filmed it with an aircraft above the model, and then added a blue filter to the film to show it. The aircraft flew over Normandy under the moonlight.  The situation of flying over the landing site is truly displayed in front of the airborne troops.  After this kind of training, although the 82nd Airborne Division's personnel were very scattered after landing in combat, they were able to quickly assemble and launch an attack.  One of the small units that landed near the German 91st Division adopted ambush tactics and killed the German division commander who was returning from the meeting. The division fell into chaos for a time and attracted all the German 91st Division to the area, thus ensuring the landing.  The US military was not counterattacked at the critical moment.  After that, the 82nd Airborne Division was incorporated into the 18th Airborne Corps.  In December 1944, the 82nd Airborne Division adopted a deep airborne penetration strategy, catching the Germans off guard and turning the tide of the Allied war.  After the end of World War II, the 82nd Airborne Division was designated as a combat-ready Army division by the U.S. Army in November 1948, with its base at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.  However, now, because history has changed, this airborne division was formed a few years in advance. Although it is still designated as the 82nd Airborne Division, it is basically the same name as the 1st Airborne Division of the US Army. ?Because it is the first organically organized airborne division-level unit in the U.S. Army today.  MacArthur was born in a military family. His father, MacArthur Sr., served as a three-star lieutenant general in the U.S. Army. Due to his father's influence, MacArthur was very enthusiastic about his military career.  He was more keen on war. Therefore, when the U.S. Pacific Fleet was attacked by the Chinese Air Force in the waters of Japan, he was extremely angry and immediately applied to command the troops to participate in the battle against the Chinese Air Force.  The land offensive plan formulated by the U.S. Supreme Command gave MacArthur a place to use it. Through his own efforts, he successfully served as the commander of the so-called first division in the United States and led the first batch of troops to enter the China-Myanmar border to prepare for the attack on China.  Launch an attack.

    "General, the 1st Airborne Brigade has arrived at the predetermined position. Two divisions of the British Allied Forces and 20,000 Burmese servants are also in place. They can launch an attack on the Chinese on the opposite side at any time." A U.S. major communications officer held a handheld  The cable came to MacArthur and reported to him.  MacArthur held a cigar in his mouth, looked up at the communications officer, then looked back at the map, and said to the communications officer: "Major, tell the 1st Airborne Brigade to stay put and wait for the Air Force fighter planes to arrive, and send another to the 2nd Airborne Brigade.  Power, order them to unite with the British allies and Vietnamese servants in Vietnam as soon as possible, and secretly approach the border of Guangxi, China, and prepare to cooperate with the 1st Airborne Brigade to launch an attack on the Chinese border. "Yes!" American General!  He straightened his body and responded loudly.  After the communications major left, a colonel staff member asked in confusion: "General, why did you change the original battle plan?" "We are an airborne force. Without the support of the air force, it is too luxurious to be used by the army.  Moreover, most of the southwestern China is the mountains and mountains.  Before becoming vigilant, we used the expertise of our airborne troops and together with our British and French allies, launched a large-scale joint attack at the same time in Yunnan and Guangxi, China. The main operation was coordinated by allied ground forces to attract the attention of the Chinese border guards. Our airborne division.  Then they unexpectedly airborne behind them, attacked from both sides, and cut off the connection between the Chinese border guards and their rear areas. Of course, the paratroopers also have to shoulder the task of attacking the enemy's airport and headquarters, and it is best to hijack the aircraft.  "MacArthur said.  "But, such a huge combat plan, I'm afraid it needs to be reported, right?" the colonel's staff officer said.  MacArthur puffed out the smoke with high spirits and said: "According to the latest news I received, the Supreme Command has decided to appoint me as the Army Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Southeast Asian Theater. I will be fully responsible for commanding this operation against China." "  Oh, I have to congratulate you in advance for your humble position, General." The colonel's staff said with a surprised look on his face.  MacArthur waved his hand and said: "Colonel Mick, tell me what you think about this operation in the southwest of China." A US military colonel named Mick looked at the map and stated his opinion: "Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly.  The terrain in southwest China is too complex and dangerous, which is not conducive to the deployment and use of our mechanized forces. Our air force, artillery, armored forces and other advantages will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I believe that the combat plan of the Supreme Headquarters will be greatly reduced.  "The choice is wrong." "Oh?" MacArthur looked surprised. He did not expect that his colonel staff had such insight.  He couldn't help but become interested and said: "Then tell me, what is the most correct choice for us at present?" Colonel Mick said eloquently: "General, I think we should stay put for now. If we have to attack,  We should choose to launch a landing offensive against China’s Guangdong and Guangxi areas from the Beibu Gulf. In this way, our naval and air force advantages will be brought into play, which will be much easier than attacking in the southwestern mountains.” MacArthur couldn’t help but nod in praise.  He said: "Yes, Colonel Mick, your analysis is completely correct. I think you will definitely become an excellent senior military talent in the future." "Sir, do you think so too? Is the strategic choice of the Supreme Command wrong?  "Mick looked at MacArthur with a surprised look on his face.  MacArthur nodded silently.  Upon seeing this, Mick hurriedly said: "General, why don't you report this situation to the high command and explain our ideas?" MacArthur smiled helplessly and said: "Colonel Mick, first of all, you are an excellent person.  Soldier, there is no doubt about it. "But you don't understand the significance of the Supreme Command." "The significance of the Supreme Command?" Mick looked confused and said suddenly, "Sir, don't you mean that the Supreme Command doesn't do this either?"  Are you optimistic about this war in southwest China? ""Of course, do you think the people around the president are fools and idiots?" MacArthur said angrily.  "Then, why do they still choose to do this? Don't they know that such a difficult offensive battle will cause a lot of casualties to our army and cause many colleagues to die?" Mick was a little excited.  MacArthur looked at him and said in a calm tone: "Mi.?Colonel, please control your emotions. This is not an impulse that a good and beautiful person should have.  The attack route and plan you proposed are, yes, much more correct than attacking China from land.  “However, that is based on the premise that we can control the air and sea.  Now, our carrier-based aircraft are no match for Chinese fighter jets, and Chinese underwater submarines are also extremely advanced.  Our naval fleet is temporarily forced to stop attacking from the sea.  "However, we have declared war on the Chinese. As the president and the high command, they cannot do nothing until new fighters are developed.  The families of the fallen soldiers of the Third Pacific Fleet will not agree, nor will the people across the United States who have high hopes for us.  Therefore, it is an inevitable choice for the Army to launch an attack on China from land.  Even if this choice is wrong, the progress of the operation will be difficult and will cause huge casualties to the US Army.  It must also be implemented, and this is what it must be done.  This is politics.  "Colonel Mick is obviously not a political person. After listening to MacArthur's confusing words, he only understood a general idea. MacArthur did not intend to talk nonsense with him on this issue anymore, and directly said his  He stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and said to him: "Colonel, you watch here, I am going to attend a banquet in the city, and my British colleagues are waiting for me there.  " "Yes, General.  "Colonel Mick quickly stood up and saluted. "MacArthur tidied up his military uniform, put on his military cap, lit a cigar again, and strode out with extraordinary magnanimity. "" The waters near China's Nansha Islands  , two Xxi submarines were following a US tanker, and each was escorted by a destroyer. They set out from a port in the Philippines and planned to go to a Vietnamese port. The two Xxi submarines were discovered accidentally.  Because it was daytime, the two XXX submarines chose to stalk them, planning to wait until night to launch their attack. After all, attacks at night were more concealed, making it easier for the opponent to catch the submarine off guard.  Escape. In fact, with the superior performance of the Xxi submarine, it is possible to escape the pursuit of the US destroyer even during the day. The two Xxi submarines are like playing a cat and mouse game, and they are not in a hurry to launch an attack. Of course, they can reduce the risk of the attack.  When night fell, the two Xxi submarines had tracked the three US warships for no less than a hundred nautical miles (nearly two hundred kilometers.) The Chinese submariners in the two Xxi submarines did not know yet.  "Captain, we have been chasing them for several hours. It is already 6:30 in the evening. Can we launch an attack?"  "A deputy captain asked in a XXX submarine. The lieutenant colonel looked at his watch and said: "Don't be anxious, we will launch the attack in half an hour.  " At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly stood up and rushed over to report to him: "Captain, I received an order from the detachment commander. He ordered us to quickly gather in the waters north of the Philippines. Where can there be a large number of Americans?  [***]Ship.  "The captain nodded to indicate that he understood, and said to the deputy captain: "It seems that we have to launch an attack immediately.  " "After that, he said to the signal force: "Contact No. 202, the target US tanker. We launched torpedoes from both directions at the same time. After one hit, we immediately dived deeply, drove away at full speed, and rushed to the Philippine waters."  Assemble." "Yes." The signal soldier quickly recorded it, turned around and left.  “About a few minutes later, the two submarines bypassed the US destroyer behind them almost at the same time and came to the left and right sides of the US tanker.  Immediately, a torpedo was launched from the sea at the tanker.  The two torpedoes rushed towards the US tanker at extremely fast speeds in the sea water, and the black night provided them with the best cover.  Even when they were approaching the US military tanker and had already caused an obvious water ripple on the water, they were not discovered by the US military.  "Boom! Boom!" Two loud noises broke out almost at the same time.  The powerful torpedo easily destroyed the hull of the U.S. tanker, and the shock wave of the explosion detonated the oil depot on the tanker. The U.S. tanker with a tonnage of tens of thousands then experienced one after another violent explosions.  Huge fire and heatThe aftermath of the impact almost knocked down the US sailors on duty on the decks of the two destroyers in front and behind them, and they were so exposed that they could not open their eyes.  The two US destroyers suddenly fell into panic, but by the time they started anti-submarine warfare, the two submarines had already dived to a depth of tens of meters and fled the scene at full speed.  After a violent explosion, the American tanker disintegrated into pieces and sank soon after.  The two U.S. destroyers were busy rescuing people, but they also had to guard against searching for Chinese submarines in the dark. The scene was extremely chaotic.  The two submarines sailed for several nautical miles before releasing their periscopes and confirming that the US tanker had been hit and damaged. Then they proudly continued to dive back into the sea and assemble towards the predetermined location.  There will be another update later, which will be sent out around 12:40.

    In a sea area one hundred and fifty nautical miles north of the Philippines.  More than fifty submarines have gathered in this seemingly quiet sea area.  The reason why they gathered here is because the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft discovered a large number of naval ships of the U.S. Navy's 1st Fleet anchored on Luzon Island during the day.  After reporting it to Commander-in-Chief in Taiwan Xue Yue, Xue Yue decided to assemble submarine forces and air forces to coordinate and carry out a joint attack on the U.S. naval base and port on Luzon Island.  In order to complete the active attack ordered by Zhang Xinghan and destroy the US military ships as much as possible.  After research by Xue Yue and Air Force Commander Liu Cuigang, it was decided that the air strike would be carried out at night.  This is extremely difficult and a test for the Chinese Air Force, which has never conducted a night battle.  According to the combat plan they formulated, all submarines in the South China Sea need to be gathered first to launch a violent and devastating attack on the US military warships deployed in the waters around Luzon Island.  At the same time, the Air Force fighter group and bomber group took off immediately.  Fly to the sky over the U.S. Naval Base in Luzon Island as quickly as possible and launch an air strike on it.  The underwater wolf pack troops should also move forward immediately and jointly attack US ships from underwater.  At the same time, it is also responsible for intercepting and pursuing U.S. ships to cover the smooth evacuation of the bomber group and avoid the U.S. Navy's air defense firepower network.  Of course, their most important task is to cooperate with the Air Force in launching attacks on the U.S. military. As long as they can launch attacks on U.S. fleet ships and destroy the U.S. fleet’s air defense firepower, the effect of the air strikes will be expanded accordingly.  The combat plan of destroying more US military ships can be achieved.  The person responsible for commanding these fifty XXX submarines is Wang Yuntao, the original captain of the first XXX submarine.  He is now the deputy commander of the entire Chinese Navy submarine force, and his military rank is already Vice Admiral.  The No. 01 xxi submarine that was first put into service has now become Wang Yuntao’s flagship.  In the No. 01 submarine, Wang Yuntao asked the adjutant: "How is it? Have No. 202 and 201 arrived?" The adjutant replied: "I just contacted them ten minutes ago. They destroyed a large US military oil tanker in the South China Sea and are now destroying it.  Come at full speed and expect to be here to meet us in twenty minutes." Wang Yuntao raised his hand and looked at his watch and said: "Forget it, the time is up, we don't wait for them anymore, give the order immediately, and the boats will set off immediately to the original location.  Launch a surprise attack on the target, and immediately advance towards the US military base port on Luzon Island. Any US military ships encountered along the way will be sunk as much as possible to clear the way for the air force attack. " "Yes.  The adjutant responded quickly and turned to convey the order.  More than fifty submarines in the dark sea, like fifty bloodthirsty sharks, opened their fangs and big mouths towards some US military patrols in the nearby waters.  Half an hour later, fifty submarines had destroyed two US destroyers and a dozen small patrol boats.  At this time, a mixed fleet of Zero fighter jets and B-17 Flying Fortress bombers taking off from the Taiwan airport risked their lives and flew towards the US military base on Luzon Island.  Because the ships patrolling the perimeter were attacked by Chinese submarines, the U.S. 1st Fleet Command responded immediately.  A large number of submarines and destroyers were dispatched to leave the port and head towards the sea area where the incident occurred.  Americans are in an extremely angry mood now. They fled without a fight and were forced to retreat to the naval base on Luzon Island, which they regard as a shame.  Now the Chinese submarine force has taken the initiative to attack its own warships with a provocative meaning. This has made the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Navy's First Fleet feel extremely humiliated.  So, a dozen destroyers and more than 20 US submarines set off.  They must teach these arrogant Chinese submarine soldiers a lesson and let them have a taste of torpedoes and depth charges.  However, what the US military did not expect was that not long after their destroyers and submarines set off, a large number of Chinese Air Force fighter planes appeared over the Luzon Island military port.  When the piercing air defense sirens rang throughout the night sky, the Chinese's huge mixed fleet had arrived.  Countless aerial bombs and machine-gun shells rained down from the sky, and the Americans who were caught off guard suffered huge losses.  Groups of violent explosions occurred in the port, producing huge clouds of fire and smoke rising into the sky.  “Many American sailors were killed by violent explosions while they were still sleeping.  Several U.S. aircraft carriers anchored in the port suffered the most severe damage due to their huge size.?? bombing raids.  Aerial bombs of different weights fell from the sky, causing violent explosions again and again on the US aircraft carrier.  When the destroyers and submarines that had just left port learned that the base had been attacked, they were shocked and turned around and returned.  At this moment, more than fifty Chinese underwater wolves suddenly arrived and launched a fierce wolf attack on the American destroyer that was just preparing to return.  In just a few minutes, more than ten U.S. destroyers were hit by torpedoes, violent explosions occurred, and fires broke out on the destroyers.  The US submarine ran so fast underwater that it had no idea that the destroyer was under attack.  By the time they discovered something was wrong, the destroyer squadron was almost completely wiped out.  At this time, U.S. submarines, like Japanese submarines, do not yet have real underwater combat capabilities.  Therefore, they are no match for China’s wolves.  After a melee, only two of the more than 20 U.S. submarines escaped by chance, and almost all the rest were sunk.  This, the largest submarine war in history, ended with the complete victory of China's wolf pack troops.  At this moment, the Air Force’s mixed fleet has almost finished its work.  The US military’s naval base on Luzon Island has almost turned into a sea of ??flames.  Looking from a distance, you can only see raging fire burning, and the continuous violent explosions resounding in the sky.  Almost ten minutes later, the Chinese Air Force’s air raid finally ended, and a large number of fighter planes covered the Flying Fortress bomber group and began to return.  Wang Yuntao led the wolf pack troops to block the exit of the entire US military port in a fan shape.  But their caution was redundant. The U.S. Navy, which suffered heavy losses in this air attack, had no spare power to pursue the returning Chinese Air Force.  The warships in the harbor were severely damaged. It was not until more than half an hour later that Wang Yuntao ordered the wolves to return when it was confirmed that no U.S. warships had left the harbor.  At this time, the Chinese Air Force's bomber group had already flown more than a hundred nautical miles away from here and was returning to the air force base in Taiwan.

    Nanjing, Office of the Chairman.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili had just had dinner together and were discussing many matters such as the war against the United States.  Aide-de-camp Guo Zhong suddenly walked over from the telecommunications room in excitement, stood up to Zhang Xinghan and saluted, "Commissioner, Mr. Chiang, General Xue Yue has sent an urgent message from Taiwan. We, the Taiwan Border Guard Air Force and the Submarine Force, jointly attacked  The U.S. military's naval base on Luzon Island has achieved a lot!" "Really?" Zhang Xinghan stood up and said, "Immediately give Xue Yue a commendation, and also electrify all the soldiers who went on the expedition.  He has done another great service for the country and the nation." After Guo Zhong accepted the order and left, Jiang Baili said in a good mood: "Commissioner, the Americans have suffered such a big loss again, I'm afraid Roosevelt will have to urge him again this time.  The domestic development of new aircraft has slowed down. "That is inevitable, but it doesn't matter. Even if the Americans' new aircraft can complete experiments, test flights, and enter service within a few months, our new air force can also become combat effective.  There is no need to be afraid of Americans," Zhang Xinghan said calmly.  Jiang Baili nodded, his eyes were deep and his brows were slightly furrowed and he said: "I am a little worried about the war in the southwest now. It can be foreseen that in the next few months, the main direction of the US military's attack will be our Yunnan border and Guangxi border." "Although we have  The terrain is dangerous, but the composition of the Southwest Frontier Army is too mixed. The Central Army, Sichuan Army, Yunnan-Guizhou Army, and Guangxi Army are really full of factions. It is inevitable that there will be intrigues among them, and it may be difficult for them to perform as they should.  "That makes sense. It seems we have to find a way to help Jiang Gong integrate the Southwest Border Defense Force as soon as possible," Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully.  "Help Jiang Gong integrate the Southwest Frontier Defense Force? Are you not afraid of the danger of raising tigers?" Jiang Baili looked at him curiously.  "National interests, national dignity, and territorial integrity are above all else." Zhang Xinghan said righteously, and then paused: "In other words, even if you help Jiang Gong integrate the Southwest Border Defense Force, you are not afraid of him. Because Jiang  At best, he is just a political leader and tactician, not a strategist. China's political situation has been doomed since the moment we took control of Nanjing. Even if he has ambitions to make a comeback, he has no chance.  "Jiang Baili didn't say anything more, but asked: "Have you thought of how to help Jiang Gong integrate the Southwest Border Defense Force?" "The most direct way is economic and weapons assistance, but we can't give them either now."  Zhang Xinghan muttered: "Let me think about it carefully." "Commissioner, General Zhang Lingfu is here." Guo Zhong walked in at this time.  "Huh? Lingfu is back?" Zhang Xinghan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he clapped his hands and said: "Yes." He then ordered Guo Zhong: "Let him come to see me immediately." Guo Zhong took the order and left not long after.  .  Zhang Lingfu, dressed in military uniform, came to Zhang Xinghan covered in dust.  He saluted him and Jiang Baili and said, "Committee, Mr. Jiang, I humbly accept orders to report here." "Brother Lingfu. Long time no see. It's been a hard journey!" Zhang Xinghan smiled and shook hands with Zhang Lingfu.  Jiang Baili also smiled and nodded.  "It's not hard, please assign me some combat tasks. I heard that the Yankees have already invaded Taiwan and Japan." Zhang Lingfu's expression remained unchanged.  A way that is neither humble nor arrogant.  "Don't worry about it now. Our newly formed army of several million people is currently undergoing emergency training. When the situation develops favorably in the future and the new recruits are capable of fighting, I will definitely let you personally lead the local army to launch an attack on the Americans.  Counterattack." Zhang Xinghan patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is something you need to do now." "Oh? Please tell me." Zhang Lingfu said.  "Go and help Mr. Jiang. Integrate the various units of the Southwest Frontier Army as soon as possible." Zhang Xinghan met Zhang Lingfu's confused gaze and said: "Of course, I have decided to transfer two elite divisions from Peking and Northeast China to you, and the airborne troops will also be under your command.  I will try my best to cooperate with your actions in Nanjing and transfer all Li Zongren, Liu Xiang, Long Yun and others to Nanjing." "Yes! Lingfu will definitely fulfill his mission and resolutely complete the mission." Zhang Lingfu accepted the order and left.  Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner, Zhang Lingfu is a close confidant of Jiang Gong. I'm afraid" "No, Chairman Chiang is most suspicious. He will not reuse Zhang Lingfu again." Zhang Xinghan said confidently.  ……………… Wuhan, Mr. Jiang’s official residence.  Commissioner Chiang Kai-shek??Pushing open the office window and looking at the drizzle outside, he turned around and walked to his desk in a good mood, took out pen, ink and paper, and began to practice calligraphy.  The door of the office was open, so there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. After Mr. Jiang finished writing, Wang Shihe also appeared at the door of the office.  Putting down his pen, Chairman Jiang raised his head and saw him, and asked proactively: "Shihe, what's the matter?" "Commissioner, Zhang Xinghan from Nanjing called. He has sent Zhang Lingfu to lead tens of thousands of elite troops south. It won't be long before they can  Rush to Wuhan." Wang Shihe quickly stood up and saluted.  "What? Zhang Lingfu? What does Zhang Xinghan want to do?" Chairman Jiang was obviously surprised.  "Commissioner, the message says that Zhang Lingfu's command is here to cooperate with you in integrating the Southwest Border Defense Force as soon as possible, and it is under your command," Wang Shihe replied.  Chairman Chiang stretched out his hand for the telegram, opened it and read it hastily, frowning and said: "The weasel has no good intentions in sending New Year greetings to the rooster. This Zhang Xinghan is too cunning. But with Zhang Lingfu's tens of thousands of elites, we have this power.  You can borrow it. "Shihe, go and notify Cixiu, Jingzhi and Wenbai to come to the meeting." "Yes!" Wang Shihe bowed his head and turned around to leave.  …………… Chengdu, Sichuan, Liu Mansion.  An attendant adjutant came to Liu Xiang and saluted him: "Chairman, Chairman Zhang of Nanjing is calling." "Oh?" Liu Xiang, who was smoking, turned around in surprise and asked, "What does Zhang Xinghan have to do with me?"  "Something?" "Chairman Zhang sent a message to Nanjing to discuss the plan to resist the United States." The adjutant replied.  "Anti-American?" Liu Xiang said: "Well, I have to get this. Americans and British are not fucking good, and they are the same as Xiaodong. Make arrangements immediately, and I will go to Nanjing." "Yes.  !" The adjutant stood up and responded quickly, turned around and took the order to leave.  … … Kunming, Yunnan, Provincial Chairman’s Office.  Long Yun was wearing a military uniform and was arranging military deployment for his subordinates.  "The Yankee army has reached the China-Myanmar border. It may invade our territory at any time. Now the central government has called me to Nanjing to discuss the plan to conquer the United States. I have to go. After I leave, you must strictly demand yourself. Increase your defenses and stick to the border defenses.  We will not allow any invaders to take advantage of us. We will defend our borders to the death and protect our compatriots in Yunnan and all of China. " "Chairman, Jiang's troops have entered Sichuan. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to leave at this time?"  "Yes. The Americans are also approaching the border. We need you, Chairman, to stay and lead the brothers to defend our country!" Some generals of the Yunnan Army expressed concern and tried to persuade them to stay.  Long Yun said solemnly: "Okay. Don't think too much. Chairman Zhang is different from Jiang. He is a true national hero. He will not do anything against me. As for Jiang, he was also ordered to settle in this time.  We have no reason to intercept the Southwest. "But you need to be more vigilant and maintain control of your troops."  Guangxi, Nanning.  "Brother Ji Kuan, Zhang Xinghan called me at this time and asked me to go to Nanjing. What do you want to do? Do I want to go?" Li Zongren asked Huang Shaohong worriedly.  Huang Shaohong pondered for a moment and said: "Zhang Xinghan is now the chairman of the Military Commission. His words represent the Central Committee, and you, Degong, are also the vice chairman. If you insist on not going, you may live up to the truth." "Then brother Ji Kuan, you are the vice chairman.  You mean to go?" Li Zongren obviously didn't want to go.  "Well, go ahead. With Jiansheng in Nanjing, there won't be any danger. Zhang Xinghan doesn't dare to do anything to you." Huang Shaohong said with relief, "As for Guangxi, you can rest assured that I'm here." "Okay,  Then I will leave for Nanjing tomorrow. All the important military and political affairs in Guangxi will have to be done by you, Brother Ji Kuan." Li Zongren made up his mind.  ……… At this time, since the Anti-Japanese War did not break out in an all-round way, the existence of the Burma Highway naturally ceased.  Therefore, it will be much more difficult for the Americans to attack China from Myanmar and Vietnam this time.  On the march from Lashio to China, the U.S. mechanized troops were completely blocked because the Burma Road was not built. The so-called march road here was completely made by U.S. infantry and automobile wheels.  But there are overgrown weeds everywhere, and there was a heavy rain a few days ago, making it very muddy.  &nbsp; The American car wheels, tank tracks, artillery tractors, all moving forward in this mud, the difficulty can be imagined.  Everywhere you can see American trucks and tanks stuck in the mud.  "Damn it." A US armored vehicle finally escaped from the 'dangerous situation' with the help of dozens of US troops. One of the US military superiors was so tired that he was out of breath and landed on the muddy ground.  At this time, his military trousers and uniform were covered with mud and water from the wheels of the armored vehicles. If he hadn't been carrying a marching bag and a Garand rifle, you would have thought he was a mud man.  Looking at the large crater dug out by the armored vehicle in front of him, the private's breathing became slightly calmer, and he couldn't help but started to curse angrily: "Damn traffic, damn Asia, I hate it here." "Okay, boy, don't be here anymore.  Complaining, do you think this is urban traffic in the United States of America?" At this time, a major, also covered in mud, came over and happened to hear his complaints and scolded him.  The private turned around and saw a major. He quickly stood up, straightened his body and held his Garand rifle in his hand: "Sir Sauri, I'm not complaining, I'm just complaining!" ps: I've already coded this chapter.  , but it’s a pity that the starting point is too stuck, the flow of people is really strong, let’s continue with the second update.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 562: Southwest Defense War (6)

    Yunnan, Baoan County, Longling.  This place is located in western Yunnan, between the Nu River and the Longchuan River, with rolling mountains, high mountains, deep valleys, and criss-crossing rivers.  At this time, due to its rugged geographical environment and special location, it has been regarded as the first front line of border defense by the Yunnan Border Guard Army.  Under Zhang Xinghan’s strict order, the Yunnan garrison stationed in Baoshan has increased by more than 20,000 people than before.  The total strength is about 30,000 people.  The most important place in Longling County is undoubtedly Songshan, which guards the transportation throat from western Yunnan to the east bank of the Nu River.  It is close to the Huitong Bridge on the Nujiang River, with "a deep valley in front and a large slope in the back". There are mountains on the left and right. Songshan Mountain is abrupt on the west bank of the Nujiang River. It is like a natural bridgehead, straddling the main point of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the river 40 miles north of Daheidu of the Nujiang River.  ?It is extremely important to the strategic position of both China and the United States, but the Yunnan Army has backward equipment, backward tactical thinking, and lacks equipment and supplies.  It is obviously impossible to compare the Matsuyama built at this time with the Matsuyama Fortress built by the Japanese in history.  However, due to its steep terrain, Songshan is still a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack after a little construction.  It blocked the only way for the US military to attack Baoshan.  If you want to cross the Nu River, you must first capture the Songshan Pass.  The person responsible for the overall command of the Baoshan and even Tengchong defense lines is the famous Yunnan Army general Tang Huaiyuan. At this moment, Tang Huaiyuan is the commander of the Third Army.  The frontline commander responsible for the Longling and even Songshan defense lines is Cun Xingqi, Major General of the 34th Brigade of the 3rd Army.  Cun Xingqi was also a famous anti-Japanese general, historically the same as General Tang Huaiyuan, the commander of the Third Army.  He led his troops in a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders in Zhongtiao Mountain and eventually died heroically.  At this time, General Cun Xingqi was in his prime.  Be physically strong and energetic.  He has always had the ambition to serve the country. Since he led his troops to Longling, he has inspected the frontline and border defense every day.  He ate and lived with the officers and soldiers of the 34th Brigade, and was deeply loved by the officers and soldiers.  At the southern foothills of Songshan, a main battalion of the 34th Brigade is responsible for building a defense line here.  General Cun Xingqi led his guards on a routine inspection.  At this time, the entire battalion officers and soldiers were stepping up the construction of reinforcements. When General Cun Xingqi first arrived, only two soldiers who were reinforcing their positions discovered him.  The two men quickly put down the stones in their hands.  He straightened his body and saluted: "Brigade seat!" General Cun Xingqi waved his hands to them and said: "Don't worry about me, continue working, be sure to build the position more firmly, sweat more at this time, wait for the Yankees  When we fight, the casualties will be much less." "Yes." The two soldiers obeyed the instructions and quickly turned around to continue their work.  General Cun Xingqi led his guards along the roughly completed trenches.  As we walked along, wherever we went, officers and soldiers stood up to salute one after another, their eyes full of eager respect.  "Brothers, you have worked hard, but in order to defend our country and our fellow countrymen, this hard work is worth it. The Yankees are the same as the Japanese. They deliberately provoke war, but in fact they want to annex our territory. As a soldier  We should shoulder the sacred mission of defending our homeland against the enemy and repelling any enemy who dares to invade for the great Chinese nation." General Cun Xingqi finally summoned the entire battalion of officers and soldiers and began to lecture.  Listening to the brigade commander’s instructions, these simple and brave soldiers strengthened their determination and stabilized their somewhat fluctuating military morale.  After all, they have never had contact with Americans, let alone fought against them.  It is human instinct to have some fear of unknown things.  "But General Cun Xingqi has a high prestige in the minds of the entire brigade officers and soldiers. His daily inspections and speeches will greatly inspire and strengthen the morale and morale of the soldiers.  After inspecting the southern foothills, General Cun Xingqi led his guards to the regiment headquarters in the middle of Songshan Mountain.  When I walked into the regiment headquarters, I found that it was empty except for two signal soldiers and orderly soldiers who were left behind.  Cun Xingqi asked the soldier who saluted him: "Where are your regiment commander and chief of staff?" "Reporting to the brigade, the regiment commander and chief of staff have taken the guards to help build fortifications." The soldier quickly replied  .  "Zhao Sandao, as the regiment leader, should always stay at the headquarters. If the Americans attack at this time, who will command the entire regiment?" General Cun Xingqi paused and then gave instructions to the communications soldier  He said: "Go, find him immediately and ask him and his staff to see me immediately." "Yes." The soldier quickly accepted the order and trotted away.  After a while, a short but strong man with dark skin walked in with several lieutenants.  Seeing the CunxingStrangely, the big man's dark face suddenly showed a smile, he smiled and saluted: "Master, you are here, what are your instructions?" "Zhao Sandao, from now on, you can no longer leave your post without permission, you must give  I can stick to your command post. Songshan is the most important place on the west bank of the Nu River, and it is the barrier of Baoshan. Do you understand?" "Yes, please rest assured, brigade commander. I'm humble.  I will never take another step away without permission," Zhao Sandao straightened his body and promised, then smiled and approached General Cun Xingqi.  He smiled and said: "Host, I heard that Americans are all niggas. They are tall and long-armed, which is quite scary. You have a lot of knowledge. Could you tell me something about it to your brothers?" "Everything is nigger. The United States is a country of immigrants. Members  There are white people, black people, and yellow people. But the Americans all look tall and strong. But so what? They are also made of flesh and blood, and they will still be hit by a row of bullets.  Wear a hole," General Cun Xingqi said.  "That's right, that's right." Zhao Sandao suddenly said: "Brigade, I heard that the army has equipped you with six mountain cannons. Do you think you can transfer them to three or four lower-level cannons?" "No, all the mountain cannons have been used.  I am deployed in Longling County. Don't think that the defense of the county will be easy. The Americans will attack Longling County first. These six mountain guns are the most powerful firepower currently deployed in Longling.  Inflict maximum damage on the US military. As long as you can strengthen the enemy's strength, your Songshan defense line will be more stable. "If my Longling County town is lost, you must lead my troops to hold on until reinforcements arrive." "Yes, please rest assured, I'm humble."  With the thousands of brothers in the regiment, as long as there is breath, we will never let the Americans cross the river." After Zhao Sandao made his promise, he asked again: "Then, when will our reinforcements arrive?" "No.  You know, no matter when the reinforcements arrive, you must hold on for me, understand? General Cun Xingqi said, "Well!  But Brigadier, why don't you stay in Songshan to take command instead of staying in Longling?  "Zhao Sandao asked puzzledly. "I am the brigade commander, so I naturally take the lead and take the lead bravely.  "Moreover, this time our brigade was ordered to garrison Longling, and the deployment was indiscriminate, because without an order, none of us were allowed to withdraw to the east bank without authorization.  So being in Longling is as important as being in Songshan.  Cun Xingqi said. "The brigade, if Longling can't hold it anymore, you must take your brothers to retreat to Songshan. We can also rely on the steep terrain of Songshan to continue to resist the Yankee attack."  "Zhao Sandao persuaded carefully. "Don't worry about this. Regardless of whether I can come back or not, you must stick to it for me to the end.  "Cun Xingqi said. "Yes, I will fight to the last soldier, shot and bullet!  "Zhao Sandao put away his smile and said seriously. "" In Tengchong County, another brigade of the Third Army was also ordered to set up defenses in important locations around the county seat. Laifeng Mountain outside the city and Gaoligong Mountain in the north of the city formed a  Their main fortification area. In addition, in order to protect Tengchong County, the defenders also deployed defenses along the Longchuan River to block the US military. However, from an overall strategic perspective, Tengchong and Longling are both strategically located to the west of the Nujiang River and to the east of the Longchuan River.  The location is very important, but once the above-mentioned areas are lost, the most important ones should be the two natural dangers on the west bank, Gaoligong Mountain and Songshan Mountain. As long as you hold them, you can take the initiative in the battle. You can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and soar.  , Longling is at your fingertips. The same goes for the US military. If they cannot capture Gaoligong Mountain and Songshan and completely clear out the Chinese defenders on the west bank, they may lose it even if they capture Tengchong and Longling.  High mountains will be the top priority of the entire western Yunnan defense. General Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army, obviously understood this, so he deployed the main force of the entire army along the east bank of the Nu River and could cross the river for support at any time.  Two bridgeheads on the west bank. However, neither Tang Huaiyuan nor Cun Xingqi had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the US military. February 29, the 26th year of the Republic of China.  , the U.S. Airborne Division and two British divisions and tens of thousands of Burmese and Indian servants entered China in two directions and attacked the 30th Army of the National Revolutionary Army in the Tengchong and Longling areas.  A security force of the Fourth Brigade launched a battle between the armies of both sides in the Mangshi area with a small group of U.S. troops who were opening the way.?The first battle.  Due to its special geographical environment in Mangshi, the Japanese did not set up defenses here, but placed the main defense lines on the Longling line.  Only about one company of troops was left to serve as a security force.  That afternoon, forty or fifty heavily armed elite U.S. paratroopers, led by Burmese who were familiar with the local terrain and environment, entered the vicinity of Mangshi.  Seeing that the Americans did not have many troops, the guard wanted to set up an ambush to kill the Americans.  "But when the Americans entered the ambush, hundreds of Yunnan Army soldiers armed with old sleeves and some Hanyang-made weapons opened fire.  But they found that this group of Americans was very difficult to deal with, especially their firepower.  It was almost like a machine gun in one hand. The dense firepower suppressed the ambushing Yunnan troops and they could not raise their heads at all.  The soldiers of the Yunnan Army did not know that the group of American troops they faced was the most elite detachment of the American airborne troops.  Most of its main equipment is the Thompson submachine gun and the improved Garand semi-automatic rifle specially used by paratrooper commandos.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 563: Southwest Defense War (7)

    The persistence and intensity of the firepower far exceeded the outdated weapons in the hands of the hundreds of ambushed Yunnan troops.  In fact, with the intensive amount of ammunition fired by the weapons equipped by this group of U.S. troops, even a battalion of the Yunnan Army might not be able to suppress them.  This is the price of the gap in weapons and equipment.  This time is already 1937. The U.S. military's Garand semi-automatic has been fully installed, and because this weapon that the Americans were still developing has appeared in the hands of the Chinese Army.  The shocked Americans accelerated their weapon development, so the Garand semi-automatic rifle now equipped by the Americans is not even the original development model.  It is the latest model that has been improved.  As for the Thompson submachine gun, the US military has been equipped with it for more than ten years, and its performance has evolved to an extremely sophisticated level.  It is a true Chicago typewriter.  Soon, the ambush party suffered heavy casualties from the ambushed US troops. Some bombardiers forcibly dropped bombs, hoping to cause some damage to the Americans.  But basically they were beaten to a pulp by the powerful and dense firepower network constructed by the US military's submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.  The company commander who led the team was also unfortunately shot and died heroically for his country.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining platoon leader quickly ordered a retreat.  The U.S. commander leading the team had a Chicago typewriter hanging around his neck. He held the handle of the gun in one hand and waved his hand forward: "Dogs! Chase, chase, chase! Destroy them!" In their first encounter, this U.S. second lieutenant learned the lesson of China.  The firepower and combat effectiveness of the ** team showed that they were so vulnerable.  In addition to being extremely excited, I also couldn’t help but despise the performance of the navy’s gang of grandsons.  "Come and die, dogs! Come and die, dogs! Don't let them go!" The Yankees stood up from the ground one by one, and started pursuing them with weapons in hand.  The Yunnan Army platoon leader led his men to retreat while fighting. After they successfully used the terrain to get rid of the US military's pursuit, there were only less than twenty people left.  Shocked, he immediately led the remaining soldiers to retreat to Longling.  And that group of American troops, who had just won a great victory, easily captured the first town they entered China, Mangshi.  After capturing Mangshi.  The U.S. Army second lieutenant who led the team stopped the pursuit. After using the radio station to contact the follow-up troops to report the victory, he began to lead his men to plunder Mangshi City.  Fortunately, most of the local residents in the county have almost fled, and the vicious Americans have not been able to find the women and property they wanted.  The somewhat depressed U.S. Army second lieutenant had to lead his troops here to wait for the arrival of the main force.  “About an hour later, the alert platoon leader finally rushed back to Longling with his surviving subordinates.  He was escorted into the city by the Longling Guards.  The shocked and exhausted officers and soldiers went to rest and treat their injuries, while the second lieutenant platoon leader was taken directly to Cun Xingqi's brigade headquarters.  "Brigadier Commander, the Yankees are so powerful. We ambushed them as a company. But within ten minutes of the exchange of fire, we suffered more than half of our casualties, and the company commander was also killed. If I hadn't led my brothers to run fast, I would have killed all the brothers in the company.  They all have to be killed." The platoon leader was obviously still frightened by the battle just now.  He had never seen such rapid firepower, and this confrontation with the US military left a huge shadow in his heart. Even if you gave him a machine gun now, he might not dare to shoot at the Americans.  Instead, he most likely chose to turn around and run away.  Or surrender with a gun.  Because the first reaction in his mind was that the Americans were too powerful and could not be beaten.  Cun Xing was surprised to see a high-ranking second lieutenant in such a miserable state.  He was panic-stricken, and he was still yelling in his own brigade headquarters, all he said was depressing words that made other people's ambitions undermine his own prestige.  He suddenly felt murderous intent. He pulled out his pistol and stared at the second lieutenant platoon leader coldly: "As a soldier, this is your virtue after fighting the enemy. Why should I keep you?" After saying that, he decisively pulled the trigger.  trigger.  There was a gunshot.  The second lieutenant platoon leader who had a chance to escape had a striking blood hole on his forehead. His eyes were still full of fear. He was startled by it, and then his body fell straight backwards.  General Cun Xingqi put away his gun and shouted loudly to the adjutant staff and the guards outside the door: "The enemy is at hand. Anyone who disturbs the morale of our army will be killed without mercy! Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed without mercy! Those who treason and surrender will be killed."  No mercy!" After saying that, he ordered an adjutant beside him: "Adjutant Chen, take it and check where the people he brought back are. If they were scared out of their wits by the Americans like him, then  Just kill them all.p; Warning to all brigade officers that anyone who dares to flee without fighting is setting an example.  No matter how powerful Americans are, they did not pop out of the cracks in the rocks. They are also children of father and mother, and they are also made of flesh and blood. Bullets will still make holes if they hit them!  "    "yes!  "The adjutant surnamed Chen responded, quickly turned around and took the order and left. "Sure enough, when adjutant Chen led a team of guards to find the dozen or so soldiers who had escaped, except for two injured ones, they were sent to the hospital for treatment.  They all told the soldiers gathered next to them about the battle just now, but what they said was all embellished and described the Americans as god-like existences, which greatly disturbed the morale of the army.  When the adjutant saw this, he became very angry and immediately ordered the guards to rush forward and disarm them directly. “Sir, why are you arresting us?  "The most vivid big-headed soldier I just mentioned was caught, with his hands behind his back, looking at Adjutant Chen who was walking towards him with great dissatisfaction, and asked loudly. Adjutant Chen also ignored him, but turned around,  He looked around at the large number of soldiers surrounding him. "Brothers, we have an order. Anyone who deceives people, shakes the morale of the army, or retreats without permission will be killed!"  “A few of them have been scared out of their wits by the Americans, and their words have no credibility.  What’s wrong with Americans? They are also descended from father and mother, not from the cracks in the rocks.  "If any of your bullets hit them, they will still be knocked down."  Next, I will execute the brigade military order and shoot those who disturb the morale of the army on the spot.  " After saying that, he waved his hand. The guards understood and immediately escorted the dozen or so defeated soldiers to kneel on the street. Other guards raised their guns. Until they felt that a black hole was pointing at the muzzle of the gun.  They and several of the defeated soldiers suddenly reacted and begged for mercy with mournful faces. But it was too late. With a wave of a guard leader, more than a dozen riflemen opened fire one after another. "Bang bang bang bang" a series of guns.  The sound resounded throughout the city, and the defeated soldiers fell to the ground one after another. "Bury them."  "A trace of reluctance flashed in Adjutant Chen's eyes and he ordered. After returning to the brigade, Adjutant Chen reported back to Cun Xingqi: "The arrangements have been made for the brigade. They were all shot on the spot in front of many soldiers.  .  " "Hmph, these bastards really deserve to die.  "Brigade, the Americans have captured Mangshi. I think we must prepare for battle on all fronts and report the news to the military and other friendly forces as soon as possible."  "Adjutant Chen said. "Well, call the military headquarters immediately to inform the situation, and also send an order to the whole brigade to prepare for battle!  "Cun Xingqi nodded in agreement. Adjutant Chen responded, turned around and took the order to make a phone call. General Cun Xingqi turned around and looked at the map, lost in thought. The combat effectiveness displayed by the US military was indeed beyond his expectation.  . But what? No matter how strong the U.S. military is, he and his men must stick to it, because this is the duty of the military and the honor of the military. …… Mandalay, the U.S. military headquarters.  MacArthur walked in and first told a female signal soldier: "Please make me a cup of coffee.  " Then he asked Colonel Mick, who took two steps to meet him: "Mick, the frontline troops have entered China. Have they encountered any resistance?  " Mick quickly replied: "General, I was just about to report to you that one of our paratrooper detachments, about sixty people, easily captured Mangshi, a border county in China, at the cost of injuring one person.  " At this time, the good-looking female communications soldier had already walked over with coffee. MacArthur reached out to take the coffee, took a sip, nodded, and turned his attention to the map. Seeing MacArthur's reaction, Mick felt a little  Unexpectedly and confused, he asked: "General, why don't you seem excited at all?  This is a Chinese county town, and we captured it easily with only one person injured.  Doesn’t this mean that there is a huge gap in combat effectiveness between the Chinese ** team and me?  " "It's not as optimistic as you think. First of all, as far as I know, the Chinese defenders stationed on the southwest border are basically Yunnan's local army, not their Central Army, let alone the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xinghan.  These Yunnan local armies have backward equipment and poor tactical skills.  To be precise, they are just a bunch of rabble, so there is nothing to be happy about.??.  “If our elite troops, who are armed to the teeth, cannot even defeat this group of rabble, I think we have failed the American people and the taxpayers.  "MacArthur said while drinking coffee. "Then according to what you say, General, wouldn't it be easy for us to capture Yunnan this time?  "Colonel Mick asked. "No, the Chinese will not be stupid enough to just give up the few natural dangers they can hold on to.  MacArthur held a coffee cup in one hand, stared at the map, and pointed with one finger: "For example, here are Songshan Mountain and Gaoligong Mountain."  " "General, what do you mean, we may encounter a powerful attack by the Chinese Army here?"  "Colonel Mick looked at the area pointed by MacArthur and asked. "It's not possible, it's certain.  MacArthur said decisively: "So, to generate electricity for frontline troops, the important combat areas should be in Longling and Tengchong."  The ultimate goal of their attack should be to conquer Gaoligong Mountain and Songshan Mountain and clear out all Chinese troops on the west bank of the Nujiang River.  "

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 564: Southwest Defense War (8)

    "Yes, General." Colonel Mick responded respectfully and took the order.  MacArthur drank all the coffee in the cup, placed it on the map, and said solemnly: "The natural dangers of the Nu River, I will definitely break it, definitely!"  That night, more than a thousand U.S. paratroopers  With a division of about 8,000 British troops and about 20,000 Indian and Burmese servant troops, they rushed to Mangshi one after another.  At this moment, neither the American nor the British troops have the habit or energy to fight at night, so they were tired and tired of marching all the way. As soon as they arrived at Mangshi, they planned to rest on the spot and continue marching tomorrow.  Because the people in the county had already fled or evacuated to the east bank of the Nu River with [***].  Instead, the empty houses in the city became temporary military camps for the American and British troops and their servants.  The whole Mangshi fell into chaos at night, and it was as noisy as a lively vegetable market.  The superior soldier who was caught by the superior for making a fuss was also assigned to a private house with his companions, but unfortunately, they were assigned a house used by local people to raise sheep.  The room was filled with the smell of urine and feces, and the air was quite turbid.  As soon as the American soldier, who was exhausted after walking all the way, entered the house, he turned around and pushed away his companions who followed him and ran out. He couldn't help but vomited violently in a corner of the yard.  "Hey, what is this place, a toilet?" Several other American soldiers also covered their noses and mouths with pain in their faces and retreated to the yard, scratching their stomachs.  Some people shook their heads, others sighed.  The first-class soldier vomited for a while, then stood up with an ugly face: "Damn Chinese, I hate this place, I hate all Chinese, I swear, I will kill every Chinese I see."  ……………… In Longling City, the 34th Brigade Headquarters is still brightly lit.  "Brigade, the troops sent out by me for reconnaissance are back." Adjutant Chen hurriedly walked in from outside.  "Oh? How is the situation? Where is the US military now?" Qi Wenyan, surnamed Cun, who had been waiting anxiously, asked immediately.  "They are resting in Mangshi now and arrived more than an hour ago." Adjutant Chen replied.  "The Yankees rested in Mangshi and didn't move forward?" Cun Qi asked with some confusion.  Adjutant Chen shook his head and said: "No, they marched a long way from Lashio to here. Needless to say, they had to eat and sleep in the open all the way. They must be very tired and plan to rest for a night in Mangshi." Cun Qi nodded and said  : "It makes sense. The Americans don't know how valuable soldiers are and how fast they are. Marching long distances, they must be exhausted at this time. Our army is waiting for work. If we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack at night, we may be able to achieve good results."  City?" Adjutant Chen asked.  Cun Qi shook his head and said: "No, Mangshi is not worth recapturing. The people have already evacuated, and it is already an empty city. Our army abandoned it before, so why should I waste my military strength to recapture it now."  However, the battle of guarding the troops during the day damaged the morale of our troops and made them unstable. I launched a night attack on the US military. I didn’t ask for great results, but only wanted to revive the morale of the troops and boost their morale.” After that, the surname Cun!  Qi turned around and looked at the map, lost in thought. Not long after, he pointed at the map and said: "We are about twenty kilometers away from Mangshi. With the footwork of our soldiers and their familiarity with the terrain, if we march at full speed, we will eventually  We should be able to arrive in more than an hour. In terms of time, it's still too late." Adjutant Chen couldn't help but nod at Cun Qi's analysis.  "The brigade, how many people do you plan to send to attack?" Cun Qi said: "This night attack, the number of people should not be too many, but not too few, otherwise it will be difficult to form an effective combat force. I want to choose from the brigade headquarters  I selected 800 brave soldiers from the Third Regiment and the Second Regiment and led them myself to attack the American troops in Mangshi. "What, Brigadier, you have to lead the team yourself. Isn't it too dangerous?" Adjutant Chen was startled.  Cun Qi said: "As a soldier, it would be a great honor to sacrifice one's life for the country. I have already made up my mind, so don't try to persuade me. The defenses of each regiment have been established. Even if I die, you must hold on." Adjutant Chen saw him.  Cun Qi had a firm attitude and could only nod his head and said: "Yes, I will obey the military orders." An hour later, General Cun Qi mobilized 800 strong and courageous men from the entire brigade, carrying short guns, grenades, broadswords, spears and some  Machine guns and submachine guns secretly set out from Longling and headed towards Mangshi under the cover of night.  Comparing the American and British troops in the city,The treatment of more than 20,000 servants is much worse.  In addition to being responsible for guarding the entire city, they also have to sleep on the streets.  "There is no way, because the houses are occupied by officials and their American and British military uncles.  Therefore, both sides of the main street in the county town of Mangshi are almost filled with Burmese servants and Indian Asans.  Many Asan servants and soldiers even used their headscarves as pillows.  Ah San is the most unreliable country in the 21st world. Their military, regardless of the navy or air force, will always have all kinds of weird incidents.  For example, a submarine explodes or sinks, a plane crashes, or a missile is tested and disappeared. All kinds of seemingly unbelievable things are common in Asan's country. ???????????????? And the Asans don’t take it seriously at all. If you drop it today, you’ll buy it tomorrow, and then you’ll drop it again, and then you’ll buy it again.  It can be seen from this that the characters of Ah San are very loose.  It is impossible for such an army to survive.  In addition to being dissatisfied with the arrangements of their elders, the large number of Asan soldiers on duty outside the city seemed particularly passive.  There was not even a person standing guard. They gathered around the fire in twos and threes and started chatting in the language of Indian birds. They didn’t know whether they were scolding their masters again.  Some Asan took out the curry they brought with them and grilled various wild foods caught from the nearby mountains and forests.  At about ten o'clock in the evening, except for a few high-spirited Ah Sans who stayed up late around the fire, most of the American and British troops, both inside and outside the city, had basically fallen asleep.  When Cun Qi arrived with eight hundred tiger and wolf soldiers, the first thing he discovered was seven or eight Indian servants sleeping around the fire.  "The Yankees' vigilance is too bad, but it's just right, giving us a golden opportunity." General Cun Qi muttered in his heart, turned to an accompanying guard captain and whispered: "You  Bring a few people and deal with these Americans. Remember, don't use guns. " "Yes!" The guard captain has been with Cun Qi for many years and has experienced hundreds of battles. He is an elite iron-blooded veteran.  His skills are quite impressive.  After receiving the order, he immediately led seven soldiers holding short knives and quietly approached several Indian servants.  When they were all close to within three to five meters, they found that the Americans in front of them were still not aware of it except for their constant snoring.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?  He raised the short blade in his hand and struck hard at the heart and other vital points.  The sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" as the sharp blade penetrated the flesh was heard endlessly.  “These Ah Sans whose mouths were covered could not even scream, before their dirty and tragic lives were ended.  After Cun Qijian dealt with several Americans, he immediately waved his hand and rushed forward with 800 soldiers.  There was a guard captain leading seven able-bodied soldiers to clear the way in front, and they easily broke through the perimeter guard of Ah San soldiers.  It wasn’t until the grenades were thrown into the city and violent explosions occurred that the sleeping Americans, British, and a large number of Indian and Burmese soldiers were awakened.  The whole street was filled with servant soldiers who suddenly stood up.  And when groups of American and British soldiers, disheveled and panic-stricken, rushed out of the courtyards, they were blocked by a large number of servants who were also in chaos.  “Damn it, get out of the way, you bastards, you stupid pigs!” The British and American officers leading the team were scolding and roaring endlessly.  At this time, gunshots were fired from the east side of the city, and shouts of killing could be heard all the time.  General Cun Qi took the lead and rushed into the city holding a Czech light machine gun. He swept through the servant soldiers who had just been awakened and were at a loss.  In the darkness, countless Indian and Burmese slave soldiers were knocked to the ground by hot bullets, and they let out pitiful screams.  Eight hundred soldiers swarmed in and followed them to the death. All kinds of long and short guns were fired one after another, and grenades were thrown out.  The sudden violent attack, coupled with the fact that the lack of the real and reality in the night, although the east area of ??the city gathered thousands of servants and hundreds of British and American troops, it was defeated for a while.  Especially the British and Indian servants, whenever they heard the sound of gunfire, their first reaction was to flee into the city.  Some American troops and Burmese servants who dared to resist were also overwhelmed by the crowded and chaotic flow of people, and had to follow them to withdraw towards the city center.  ? ?The servant army in the center of the city was also affected. Without knowing the reality, they all turned around and ran away.  The entire city was in chaos. The American soldier, who was clamoring to kill all the Chinese in sight, and his comrades just rushed out of the yard when they were scattered by the crowded and chaotic crowd of escaping and retreating servants.  .  Like some branches in the flood, they can only flow down the river.  Cun Qi and the eight hundred tiger and wolf elites did not expect that the US military was so vulnerable and launched a fierce pursuit.  There were many servants who were injured or running slowly along the way. Once the British and American troops were overtaken, they would be hacked to death with swords and stabbed to death with spears by the red-eyed Yunnan soldiers.  "It's so fucking enjoyable. I've never fought such a happy battle. In the afternoon, those guys were saying how awesome the Americans are. What's the fucking difference between this guy and a man made of clay?" A sturdy Yunnan man said.  The soldier shouted happily while swinging his machete and cutting down enemy soldiers one after another.  PS: There is one more update.

    If these 800 soldiers who were selected to participate in the night attack were more or less afraid of this mission before setting off, it was probably because Brigadier Cun Qi personally led the team and rushed here bravely.  Participated.  . At this moment, they have completely regarded this mission as enjoyment, and are glad that they have come to the right place.  Because when they found that the enemy they feared was so vulnerable, falling under their own swords and guns, and the eyes that begged for despair before dying.  The suppressed fear in my heart dissipated, and the pleasure that replaced it was quite refreshing.  Due to the unknown enemy situation and the crowded and chaotic situation in the city, the chaotic British and American troops withdrew towards the west of the city, which was not conducive to the deployment of troops.  General Cun Qi led a company of 800 elite soldiers to pursue them to the original county government office compound. Seeing that the battle goal had been achieved, he took the initiative to retreat.  This battle lasted less than two hours from start to finish. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the commander of the British army, who was from an earl and aristocratic family, upon the suggestion of the American paratrooper lieutenant colonel, ordered the servants to encircle them from both wings.  General Cun Qi has withdrawn from the city with eight hundred unscathed elite troops.  Disappeared into the vast night with ease.  On the way back to Longling, many soldiers were overjoyed and their morale was extremely high.  Not only did they just have a great victory, but when many soldiers were evacuating, they found that the streets and alleys along the way were full of various weapons and ammunition discarded by the enemy when they fled. ?? If it were not necessary to escape in time, almost all 800 soldiers would have an automatic firearm.  Even so, many soldiers carry many American semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and British manual rifles.  As for grenades and bullet packs, there are countless kinds of them.  General Cun Qi returned with a full load, but the British and American coalition forces who had just easily captured a county in China during the day looked extremely frustrated.  …………… Mandalay, MacArthur, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Colonel Mick’s urgent voice.  Although MacArthur was very sleepy, he did not show too much anger. Instead, he put on his military uniform, walked out of the bedroom, and asked: "Colonel Mick, what happened?" "General, it's not good, I am stationed in Mangshi  The frontline troops were attacked by the Chinese [***] team at night, and even the county seat of Mangshi was almost captured by the enemy. "The servants suffered heavy casualties," Colonel Mick replied.  After hearing this, MacArthur's already bad mood suddenly became extremely bad.  After a pause, he said: "Kill the officer in charge of the security immediately. Then tell General Ross that if he is not qualified to command this battle, please immediately hand over the command to Lieutenant Colonel Morgan." "Yes.  !" Seeing MacArthur's gloomy expression, Mick didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly stood up and responded, turned around and left.  ………………Nanjing, Office of the Chairman.  Zhang Xinghan was just about to go to bed when personal attendant and guard Guo Zhong came in excitedly from outside.  He almost collided head-on with Zhang Xinghan.  "Zhongzi, what happened, are you so anxious?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  Guo Zhong took out a message and said: "Commissioner, General Long Yun just informed us that he has just received the latest battle report from the 3rd Army of the Southwest Border Defense Force. Commander Cun of the 34th Brigade of the 3rd Army  The surnamed Qi personally led a night attack on the enemy in Mangshi, causing great damage to the enemy and even almost recaptured the county seat of Mangshi. "Is that so?" Zhang Xinghan was obviously a little surprised when he heard this.  I read Cunqi's name, but suddenly it sounded, wasn't this person an anti-Japanese hero who died during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain?  He is a famous anti-Japanese general of the Yunnan Army in history, who loves [***] people.  Thinking of this, Zhang Xinghan immediately said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, go and tell General Long Yun immediately that General Cun Qi's night attack is enough to frighten the enemy's courage, demoralize the enemy, and greatly boost the morale of our soldiers in the Southwest Frontier Army.  On behalf of the Military Committee, I have decided to promote General Cunqi to the rank of Army Lieutenant General and Major General and Brigade Commander, and award him with the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun. In addition, the eight hundred brave soldiers who accompanied the general on this expedition will be awarded five dollars each.  ! For encouragement!” “Yes, I’ll go right away.” Guo Zhong responded and turned around to leave quickly.  …………… That night, after General Cun Qi led his troops back, the eight hundred accompanying officers and soldiers quickly spread the word about the battle throughout the entire brigade.  The morale of thousands of soldiers was boosted, and their fear of the US military was greatly dissipated.  &nbsp; Early the next morning, the British and American forces, who had suffered heavy losses last night and had not dared to sleep all night, finally figured out the strength and marching route of the [***] squadron that attacked them yesterday.  When they learned that there were less than a thousand enemy troops last night, both the British commander Earl Ross and the U.S. paratrooper commander Lieutenant Colonel Morgan blushed in an extremely rare way.  Morgan, who was ashamed and angry, immediately suggested to Ross: "Sir, please forgive me, if our army cannot attack the Chinese defenders in Longling today and defeat them, then our morale will drop to  There is no need to fight this battle. ""The bastard Indians are just a bunch of idiots who can't do anything!" Count Ross couldn't help but started to complain about his Indian servants.  .  Morgan ignored this and continued: "General, please order the attack immediately." Ross was also frightened to a certain extent by the bravery and skill of the Chinese [***] team last night. Originally, he wanted to pass this time  The war gilded oneself, paving the way for returning to England and climbing higher.  But I didn’t expect that the Chinese people’s fighting power would be so powerful.  Seeing his hesitation, Morgan stopped talking nonsense with him, turned around and left, and sent an emergency message to Commander-in-Chief MacArthur through the radio carried by his paratrooper brigade.  "You bastards, a bunch of rubbish!" MacArthur learned that last night nearly 30,000 British and American allied troops and servants were beaten by the Chinese [***] team of less than 1,000 people and were unable to fight back.  “ And it was the Yunnan local army with the most backward equipment among the [***] squadrons. Finally, they couldn’t restrain their anger.  "General, please calm down for the moment. Lieutenant Colonel Morgan is right. Earl Ross is a waste and has no commanding ability. He no longer has the ability to command this unit. He is no longer suitable to be a commander. General, you  A commander should be selected as soon as possible," Colonel Mick advised.  MacArthur thought for a while and said: "Call back to Lieutenant Colonel Morgan. From that day on, he will be promoted to colonel. Before the new commander arrives at the front line, he will be fully responsible for commanding the coalition operations. The commander of Earl Ross,  Suspended from now on. "But, General, Morgan is only a lieutenant colonel, commanding nearly three divisions, isn't he?" Mick was a little worried.  MacArthur said angrily: "I was once a lieutenant colonel. I believe in Morgan. He is a very good commander." Seeing MacArthur's unkind expression, Mick lowered his head and said nothing more.  ………… Mangshi County.  Morgan and his paratroopers successfully took over the command from the useless Ross.  After taking command, Morgan, a young but ambitious guy, immediately sent out a paratrooper company, two British battalions and a Burmese servant infantry regiment to form the vanguard and set off.  He then left two thousand people to stay in Mangshi, and he personally led the main force to follow up and march towards Longling.  Two hours later, the leading troops of the British and American coalition forces arrived on the west bank of the Longchuan River and confronted the Yunnan Army defenders across the river.  Morgan first called for air force support. About a dozen U.S. bombers and fighter jets launched a round of fierce bombings against the Yunnan Army's riverside defense line on the east coast.  The Yunnan Army defenders, who lacked air defense experience and tactical means, suffered heavy casualties.  Longling County was also bombed by the US Air Force. Some houses were destroyed and fires broke out.  In the headquarters of the 34th Brigade, Adjutant Chen ran in from the outside with a gray face, and said to Cun Qi: "Brigade, the Yankees' planes are so disgusting, they have caused a lot of damage to our defense line along the river.  Several civilian houses in the city were also bombed by them." Cun Qi's face turned pale and he immediately said, "Call the military commander immediately and ask for air force support from Kunming!" "Kunming?" Adjutant Chen?  He looked at Cun Qi with some surprise.  "They were sent by the central government and have already stationed at Kunming Airport." Cun Qi said.  “Yes, that’s great, let the American devils also have a taste of bombs!” Adjutant Chen accepted the order happily.  …………… After receiving the request for help from the 34th Brigade, in about half an hour, more than thirty BF109 fighters and more than a dozen Stuka bombers stationed at Kunming Airport took off.  Flying towards the front line of Longling.  However, the 34th Brigade lacks radio communication tools and lacks experience in cooperating with the Air Force.  After the Air Force flew into the nearby airspace, it could only conduct a rough bombing on the west bank of the Longchuan River.  &nbsp; Because the terrain in western Yunnan is steep and full of high mountains, many pilots are unable to accurately dump bombs on top of the US military without ground radio contact guidance.  Therefore, the bombing effect is very unsatisfactory compared with the US military who have radio contact and have contacted the army and air force for coordinated operations.  "However, the news caused by our own air force's bombing still excited many Yunnan Army officers and soldiers who did not know the truth.  Amid their cheers, dozens of Chinese planes stopped bombing and began to return because they were about to run out of fuel.  What the Yunnan soldiers did not expect was that as soon as their own air force fleet returned, the U.S. military across the river began shelling.  When the huge explosions fell on our own position, many of the Yunnan Army officers and soldiers who had been cheering just now were blown away, causing heavy casualties.  The gap between the two sides in technical equipment, training and tactical equipment was fully reflected at this moment.  While our own artillery fire was raging, the coalition engineers actually started to build a hypothetical pontoon bridge.  ps: The promised fifth update has been completed. Brothers, it’s Monday, can you give me two recommendation votes?

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 566: Southwest Defense War (10)

    The east coast has been completely shrouded in smoke and raging fire.  . The officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army could only hold their heads and lie down in the simple trench fortifications, while explosions continued to occur around them.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????:????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Balls of soil, which may contain flesh and blood limbs, were thrown up and shot up all over the sky.  The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.  The earth-shaking explosion almost deafened the eardrums of the Yunnan Army soldiers.  In the city, the 34th Brigade Headquarters.  Listening to the continuous violent booms and explosions outside the city, Adjutant Chen couldn't help but said anxiously and worriedly: "Didn't the air force just bombard the Yankee positions? How come there doesn't seem to be any fucking artillery fire at all?"  Affected." General Cun Qi sat on a wooden stool and said with a heavy expression: "It is possible that the air force's bombing did not fall on the Americans accurately." "It didn't fall on the Americans?  "Although Adjutant Chen was also born in the Yunnan Military Academy, he still lacks sufficient understanding of the importance of radio communications in ground-to-air joint operations.  Cun Qi did not answer, but told him: "You should contact the frontier immediately and ask how the situation is at the frontier." Unexpectedly, Cun Qi's voice had just finished, and the phone in the brigade headquarters rang rapidly.  .  Adjutant Chen picked up the phone and said, "Hey, this is the brigade headquarters. What? What did you say?" Adjutant Chen's expression changed drastically. After putting down the phone, he turned to Cun Qi and said, "Brigade, the U.S. military's artillery fire is too fierce.  The brothers of the Second Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and several companies lost contact. " "Tell Cheng Xiazi that no matter how fierce the American artillery fire is, his Second Regiment must hold on for me, even if only the whole regiment is left.  He alone must hold on until dark!" Cun Qi said angrily.  "Yes." Adjutant Chen quickly picked up the phone and conveyed Cun Qi's order.  When the American artillery fire began to extend, the thick smoke slowly dissipated, and the surviving Yunnan soldiers of the Second Regiment were able to shake off the mud all over their bodies and reveal their heads.  When the smoke slowly dissipated and the vision became clear, the surviving soldiers were horrified to find that a steel pontoon bridge had appeared out of thin air on the originally steep Longchuan River.  "Moreover, a US tank has already taken the lead and rumbled along the pontoon towards the east bank.  It can be vaguely seen that groups of British and American soldiers are following the tanks.  “Sir, it’s not good, the Americans are coming.” In the trench at the forefront, a surviving Yunnan soldier shouted miserably at the top of his lungs.  A company commander of the Yunnan Army whose leg was injured by raging shrapnel dragged his injured leg to the edge of the trench, looked through the binoculars, and then suppressed the pain and shouted in a miserable voice: "Brothers, open fire immediately.  , Never let the American devils pass through us!" He gave the order, and he picked up a Hanyang-made rifle with smooth rifling and fired tenaciously.  The surviving soldiers in the trenches also opened fire. However, they had suffered heavy casualties in the US bombing and shelling, and their weapons were extremely backward.  Therefore, the bullets fired were extremely scattered, and the US tank at the head was seen emitting some sparks from time to time.  However, it was unable to stop the charge of US tanks at all.  The surviving Yunnan soldiers from the following companies also opened fire one after another.  The firepower was still not intensive. The black barrel of the unobstructed US M4 tank slowly rotated, and with a bang, a shell was fired.  It fell on the trench of the Yunnan Army and exploded. Two Yunnan Army soldiers who were shooting tenaciously died heroically on the spot.  Seeing that a large number of American troops were about to rush over under the cover of tanks and chariots, commanders at all levels of the Yunnan Army issued orders to charge with bayonets.  With the sparse firepower in hand and the dilemma of insufficient ammunition, hand-to-hand combat with the opponent is the last option.  However, when hundreds of Yunnan Army soldiers roared out of the trenches and rushed toward the U.S. Army, the U.S. tank crew said with surprise: "Oh, my God, what are these Chinese doing? Are they going to die?"  ?” The British and American coalition forces and the slave armies of Burma and India that followed up came forward one after another and opened fire fiercely with their tanks.  Semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns and light machine guns fired a large number of dense bullets, forming a dense firepower network.  The soldiers of the Yunnan Army who charged desperately were constantly shot and fell in pieces.  Blood dyed the banks of the Longchuan River red, and the tragic sacrifices of the Yunnan Army soldiers failed to stop the attack of the British and American coalition forces and their servants coordinated by infantry and tanks.  The 34th Brigade is deployed on the east bank of the Longchuan RiverThe main force of the regiment was almost completely lost in less than two hours.  More than a thousand British and American troops broke through the defense line of the Second Regiment and started a fierce battle outside the city with the reinforcements led by Cun Qi himself.  After a bloody battle, under the powerful firepower of the US military, the reinforcements led by General Cun Qi suffered heavy casualties and were forced to withdraw to Longling County to continue to resist.  The British and American coalition forces used the servant army as the main attack, supplemented by tanks, artillery and other fierce firepower, and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the defenders of Longling County.  By the afternoon of the fierce battle, the two regiments around General Cun Qi had suffered more than half of their casualties, while the British and American coalition forces suffered only modest casualties. The biggest casualties were their servants.  Outside the city, corpses littered the fields and blood flowed into rivers.  Although the US military has powerful artillery, tanks and air force firepower, the Longling garrison soldiers, under the command of General Cun Qi, displayed extremely tenacious combat effectiveness.  In the decisive battle of Bai Ren, Indian Asan and Burmese Barbarian were no match for them.  In the evening, the U.S. military stopped its offensive. Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army, who had been paying attention to the progress of the battle on the front line, personally ordered Cun Qi to lead the remaining troops to withdraw from Longling County.  Retreating to the important area of ??Songshan, and at the same time, sending electricity to General Long Yun in Nanjing, which illustrates the situation on the front line and the practical difficulties of the Yunnan Army's backward equipment and insufficient logistics.  Please ask General Long Yun to ask the Central Committee if they can solve the problem.  That night, General Cun Qi led hundreds of remnants to evacuate Longling County in grief and indignation and retreated to Songshan.  However, the British and American coalition forces were unaware. When they planned to attack at dawn, they were surprised to find that the Chinese defenders in Longling had already withdrawn.  Then they marched into Longling County, and the coalition commander Mo Gen sent another unit to pursue it, but it was too late. General Cun Qi had already led his men back to Songshan to meet up with Zhao Sandao's regiment.  …………… In Nanjing City, Zhang Xinghan was meeting with the real Yunnan Wang Longyun in the reception room.  "Commissioner, last night, frontline commander Tang Huaiyuan called again. The British and American coalition forces have strong firepower and air force support. Our border defense troops have poor and backward equipment and insufficient ammunition. The most important thing is the lack of radio communication equipment.  . This makes it impossible for our air force stationed in Kunming to provide precise air support. As a result, our frontline troops stationed in Longling lost nearly two regiments in one day.  We have been forced to withdraw from Longling and retreat to Songshan. If Songshan is lost again, all the strategic locations west of the Nujiang River will be lost." Zhang Xinghan listened to Long Yun's report carefully. After he finished, he nodded and said:  "Brother Zhizhou, I already know the actual situation of the Yunnan border defense forces. Jiang Gong's Central Army is on its way to the front line. Please ask General Tang Huaiyuan to hold on for a few days. As soon as reinforcements arrive, I believe they can contain the enemy's advance.  Attacked." Long Yun said anxiously: "Commissioner, Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain are extremely important strategic locations on the west bank of the Nujiang River. If they are captured by the US military, even if our reinforcements can block them in the Nujiang River, they will confront them across the river.  . In the future, it will be difficult to cross the Nu River and regain the lost territory. Moreover, once the US military occupies such a strategic location, it will be in an advantageous situation where it can advance and attack and retreat and defend. At that time, we will face an extreme situation.  Huge military pressure." Seeing Long Yun's humble and eager attitude, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said: "Well, let's do this. I will immediately notify the Shenyang Arsenal to prepare a batch of weapons and ammunition for the frontline troops and airdrop them to the east bank of the Nu River through the air force to strengthen the frontline.  "It's so good, so good." Long Yun said with excitement: "On behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers of our Yunnan Army, thank you for your generous support!" "You're welcome.  Soldiers all serve the country and the nation, and I should do the same." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and then ordered Guo Zhong to generate electricity for Northeast China.  That afternoon, the Northeast Shenyang Arsenal urgently raised 10,000 medium- and formal rifles, 3,000 MP18 submachine guns, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, and a large number of bullets, grenades and other light weapons.  ?The Air Force’s C-47 transport aircraft fleet was urgently airdropped to Bao’an County on the east bank of the Nu River.  Tang Huaiyuan, commander of the Third Army, immediately distributed weapons and ammunition according to the actual number of combatants in the two brigades on the front line. With the free help of local people, they were sent to the important areas of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain.  The defenders of the Third Army in Tengchong were also forced to withdraw to Gaoligong Mountain at noon that day.  With Songshan's 34th Brigade in a tense situation, they held the last position on the west bank of the Nujiang River.  &nbsp; With the acquisition of brand-new Hanyang-made rifles and a large number of submachine guns and machine guns, the firepower of Cun Qi and other troops was greatly strengthened.  That afternoon, a Burmese servant army of more than 500 people tried to launch an attack on the Songshan defense line.  As a result, they were attacked by powerful firepower from the Yunnan Army who had changed their uniforms. They left more than two hundred corpses behind and fled in a panic.  At the same time, in Nanjing city.  "Brother Baili, it seems that the Yunnan Army will have a hard time holding on until the Central Army arrives. The Americans' equipment level is much more advanced than theirs." Zhang Xinghan said worriedly. After all, the Yunnan Army lost contact in less than a day.  Tengchong and Longling, two important towns on the west bank of the Nujiang River.  And the casualties on its own were still very high.  "Commissioner, the Yunnan Army's lagging tactical and equipment levels cannot be corrected overnight. The most urgent task is to find ways to deploy capable troops to help them defend the key areas of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain. As long as these two places can be defended,  Then Longling, Tengchong and other places can have the opportunity to take them back at any time," Jiang Baili said.  PS: I am helpless. The network is always unstable and I cannot access the Writer Backstage. Editor Zhao responded that I am the only one in this situation.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 567: Airborne Reinforcements

    After listening to Jiang Baili's analysis, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while and said: "In that case, then send electricity to Zhang Lingfu and order him to immediately assign me to his two airborne regiments and parachute to the Nujiang front line. It also allows the Americans to appreciate my men.  The combat effectiveness of the first ace unit! See what a real elite is! " "Well, I think it's feasible. As long as General Wang Longxiang's airborne troops can be stationed in Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain, it will be foolproof." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement.  At that moment, Zhang Xinghan ordered Guo Zhong to convey his order.  …………Office of the President, White House, United States.  "What does our First Fleet do? It actually allowed the Chinese to easily and successfully attack the Luzon Naval Base!" After receiving the report from Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Allied Forces, Roosevelt was furious.  "Mr. President, the air raid on Luzon Island has shown that the consequences of not having air supremacy are extremely terrible." Due to the outbreak of the European War and the war in Asia and China, Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff who had just been promoted by Roosevelt, suggested to Roosevelt  : "Therefore, I suggest that your Excellency the President should immediately order the country to send more fighter planes and submarines to the Pacific War. And as many anti-aircraft weapons as possible to curb the Chinese's raging over the Pacific. Until our aircraft manufacturers produce  "More advanced fighters." "Although Roosevelt increased the number of aircraft sent to the Pacific until this time, it is likely that the US aviation force will suffer even greater losses.  But it must be done. The soldiers of the U.S. Navy and Army must see their fighter planes flying in the sky.  Only then can morale and combat effectiveness be maintained.  Marshall paused and then said: "In addition to sending more fighter planes and pilots, we must also order the Pacific fleets to unite and organize an air raid on the Chinese mainland. In order to boost our already severely frustrated military morale and morale, as well as the general public  The American people trust us." Roosevelt thought for a moment and said, "Send power to Nimitz immediately. He will be fully responsible for this matter. Within a month, I must hear the news that the Chinese capital was attacked by air, no matter how much it costs.  Price. "  In Chengdu, Sichuan, Jiang Gong has moved here with his confidants He Yingqin and Zhang Zhizhong from Wuhan.  Before them, Zhongtong came to Chengdu to check out the situation and felt that all forces in Chengdu were mixed.  The situation is somewhat complicated.  Jiang Gong and others moved to Chongqing again, and it was here that they established a foothold.  At the same time, the main force of about 450,000 Central Army troops has basically entered Sichuan, and some of them have rushed to the Yunnan border defense front line under the leadership of Du Yuming and Hu Zongnan.  Another 150,000 troops commanded by Gu Zhutong entered Guangxi from Hunan.  Zhang Lingfu’s two elite divisions were also ordered to go to the Yunnan border to support the Yunnan Army’s operations.  Of course, this was approved by Zhang Xinghan, otherwise it would be considered Zhang Lingfu’s intention to join Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  He could not mobilize most of the officers in these two divisions.  Because many people are closely monitored by the Secrecy Bureau and the Military Control Bureau.  It is equivalent to Zhang Xinghan giving these troops double insurance.  Because Chairman Chiang no longer trusted Zhang Lingfu, he naturally would not keep him by his side, so Zhang Lingfu set out with the army in person.  The road at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan is not easy to travel, and the military jeep Zhang Lingfu was riding stopped and went very slowly.  A communications soldier carrying a radio on his back caught up with him.  Saluted him: "General. The Chairman of the Generalissimo sent an urgent message from Nanjing." "Huh?" Zhang Lingfu immediately ordered the slow-moving jeep to stop and asked: "What orders does the Chairman have?" "Commissioned orders, attached.  The airborne troops sent to us will immediately parachute to the Nujiang front line to assist the Yunnan Army," the communications soldier opened the message and read.  Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfu immediately ordered the communication soldiers: "Immediately prepare a telegram. Telegram orders, airborne troops. The first and second regiments, set off immediately to assist the Nujiang front line!" The communication soldiers stood up to attention and saluted, then turned around.  He quickly left and went to the side to generate electricity.  After the signal corps left, Zhang Lingfu said to an accompanying adjutant in the car: "Immediately order all the troops to speed up the march. The border defense war is urgent, and we should arrive as soon as possible."  Longling County, commanded by the British and American Allied Forces  department.  Morgan, who had been promoted to colonel, was looking at the map with a livid face. He planned and organized three attacks, all of which ended in failure.  Although most of the losses were from Indian and Burmese servant armies.  "But the important Songshan area occupied by the Chinese *** has indeed become an insurmountable barrier for the British and American coalition forces. It?The existence greatly affected the morale and combat willpower of the Allied forces.  "Your Excellency, Commander, Songshan Mountain is very high in altitude, and the terrain is steep and extremely dangerous. The Chinese ** team defended it. Although our air force and artillery fire violently bombed it, the effect was very little. Tanks are also affected by the terrain.  We cannot provide any assistance to the attacking forces. This kind of fighting really cannot continue, otherwise our soldiers are likely to mutiny," a British colonel suggested to Morgan.  They, the British members of the Far East Legion, are used to enjoying the glory and wealth. How could they be willing to fight to the death with the Chinese Army in this rarely populated ravine?  Therefore, when their servants suffered heavy casualties and failed to break through the Chinese Army's defense line, many officers of the British army had already retreated.  ??The British troops here are basically just waiting to die. I can't figure out how the local prime minister can win and help the Americans fight the war.  Because, in their view, the Chinese did not attack them.  With such a mentality, the combat effectiveness of these British troops can be imagined.  Not even as good as the Burmese monkeys under their command, and only slightly better than the Indian Asans.  Mo was a little impatient, and with his youthful arrogance, he immediately glared at him and said: "Colonel Reese, as a senior officer, I hope you will not do anything that affects morale, because the consequences will be very serious. In addition, I tell you.  , Our reinforcements will arrive soon, an elite U.S. airborne reinforcements group, nearly three thousand people." Upon hearing this, Colonel Reese lowered his head angrily, turned and left.  After Reese left, Morgan said to one of his subordinates: "Send someone to keep an eye on him. If he wants to do anything that insults the honor of the military, kill him!" "But, your Excellency, Commander, there are more British people than us.  Moreover, he is still a colonel." The second lieutenant, who was a paratrooper, was a little worried.  Morgan looked at him and said seriously: "Second Lieutenant, you are a soldier, you should know what a soldier should do, right?" "Yes, sir, the first thing a soldier should do is obey orders." said the Second Lieutenant.  “Then go and do as I say.” Colonel Morgan said.  "Yes, sir!" The second lieutenant said no more and took the order to leave.  …………Songshan, the defensive position of the 34th Brigade of the Yunnan Army.  General Cun Xingqi was walking around in the trenches with a group of guards on inspection.  When the officers and soldiers saw the brigade commander arriving, they stood up one after another.  "Brothers, I have been notified that Chairman Zhang of the Central Committee has dispatched two airborne regiments to reinforce us. Songshan will be safe this time!" Cun Xingqi happily announced to the officers and soldiers.  "Brigade, what is the organization of the airborne regiment? Are they powerful?" a leading soldier asked curiously.  Cun Xingqi smiled and said: "This airborne regiment is an airborne force. It is an elite force transported by planes and airborne directly to the combat area from the air. As for whether they are powerful or not, they are the most advanced equipment and the most trained under Chairman Zhang today.  A well-established ace unit. It is said that it airborne in Tokyo, Japan, and participated in the siege of the Japanese capital. In that battle, with more than 5,000 troops in two regiments, it blocked the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements.  , It’s better to capture the Japanese Emperor alive.” As soon as Cun Xingqi said this, all the officers and soldiers present exclaimed. With such a powerful force, the soldiers were looking forward to their arrival and looking forward to fighting alongside them.  "Brigade, our weapons are so easy to use now. They are much easier to use than the old sleeves before." Another soldier proudly raised the medium-sized rifle in his hand and said.  Cun Xingqi smiled: "As long as it is easy to use, our weapons are not advanced yet. They can only be regarded as second-rate weapons at best. Have you seen the captured American weapons? Those are the most advanced rifles today.  , semi-automatic, can fire eight bullets continuously, and its firepower is far more powerful than the formal rifles we have. Chairman Zhang’s elite are basically equipped with this kind of weapon. "When will we also be equipped with semi-automatic rifles?"  The soldier asked hopefully.  "It shouldn't take long, I think everything will be fine." Cun Xingqi said yearningly.  What Cun Xingqi didn’t understand was that the coalition forces and servants attacking them, except for a small number of U.S. paratroopers, were equipped with new Garand semi-automatic rifles.  Most of the British troops and servant troops are equipped with manual rifles, and some of their performance are not even as good as those of medium-sized rifles.  ThisIf it is because the Garand semi-automatic rifles currently mass-produced by the US military are still being given priority to their own troops.  The British and French troops in the Far East both have ready-made weapons, which is why they can compete with the attackers with their traditional rifles.  If all the enemy troops are equipped with advanced American equipment, their casualties will probably be much greater.  "Bridge, Brigade, I just received a call from the other side of the river to inform you that an airborne regiment has successfully landed on the east bank and is gathering. It will cross the river to meet us soon." A communications adjutant ran panting along the traffic trench.  Report.  Cun Xingqi said happily: "Very good, Adjutant Chen, take the guard company immediately and go to the ferry to meet the reinforcements." Adjutant Chen stood up quickly and stood at attention: "Yes!", then turned around and took the order to leave.  Cun Xingqi took the guards for another round of inspection, then turned around and returned to the headquarters in the cave.  (To be continued.

    When Adjutant Chen came to the ferry with a company of guards, he found that a force was already crossing the river.  On a small boat in the lead, there were more than a dozen fully armed soldiers with stern expressions standing solemnly.  They were all wearing blue military uniforms, wearing steel helmets, and carrying weapons they had never seen before.  From their eyes, Adjutant Chen saw a restrained murderous intent.  "Line up, line up, welcome friendly troops to come for reinforcements!" Adjutant Chen didn't want his subordinates to lose their status at this time, so he turned around and shouted.  His guard company was also composed of elite men in the Yunnan Army. They formed a formation quickly, but their momentum and equipment and clothing were worse than those of the troops crossing the river.  When the first ship docked, a ** second lieutenant took the lead and jumped ashore with more than a dozen of his subordinates.  Adjutant Chen stepped forward with a serious face and saluted and greeted: "Chen Dafeng, the guard company commander of the 34th Brigade of the Third Army of the Southwest Frontier Force of the National Revolutionary Army, is here to await all of you friendly troops on the orders of the Lieutenant General and Brigadier General Cun Xingqi.  Brothers." The ** second lieutenant also quickly stood up and saluted, and said with a serious expression: "I, Zhao Mingguang, the platoon leader of the 2nd Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Company and 9th Platoon of the Airborne Independent Brigade directly under the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army, have been ordered to lead our platoon in the lead.  Cross the river and rush to help Songshan!" "It would be great if you are here, please!" Adjutant Chen Dafeng said immediately.  "Sir, there's no need to worry. Our platoon's order is to stay in place after crossing the river and wait for the main force to come and assemble." Zhao Mingguang said.  After saying that, a dozen of his tiger and wolf warriors lined up to form a platoon.  Not long after.  Ships were arriving from the east coast one after another, because the pontoon bridge had already been destroyed by US bombers.  Therefore, communication basically relies on ships.  When a ** major landed ashore, he greeted Adjutant Chen and followed him up Songshan with the two companies that had been assembled.  " Two hours later, more than 2,000 elite tiger soldiers of the Second Airborne Regiment finally crossed the river and met up with Cun Xingqi's troops.  In the headquarters in the cave, the colonel leader who led the team saw Cun Xingqi and quickly stood up and saluted: "The humble commander of the Second Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army Airborne Independent Brigade Wang Dafei has led his troops to come for reinforcements. From now on. I  The troops are under the unified command of the general!" Cun Xingqi admired the extraordinary and tough officer in front of him and said humbly: "Commander Wang, you are so polite. We are colleagues and we serve the country together. You have fought against Japan.  We are a truly elite force fighting in the south and the north. We will discuss it!" "Don't dare, this is our brigade commander's order." Seeing Cun Xingqi's easy-going personality, Wang Dafei couldn't help but feel good about him.  He suddenly rose and said quickly: "The general launched a surprise attack on Mangshi with 800 elite troops. His courage was astonishing and he killed the enemy soldiers in rivers of blood. In this single battle, he became famous all over the world. He is really a role model for our generation of soldiers!" "Alas, Brother Wang.  You don’t need to praise me anymore. In the end, I still failed to defend Longling. I am ashamed of the blue sky and white sun emblem above my head, and I am even more ashamed of the millions of hometown elders behind me!" General Cun Xingqi said with a look of shame.  "General. Let's not talk about this for now. Can we first send someone to take the subordinates and subordinate officers to familiarize themselves with the terrain here and the situation of our army's fortifications. In order to grasp the terrain and other conditions here as soon as possible, and better invest in  Go into battle." Wang Dafei quickly changed the topic.  "Of course, let's do this. Cun will take you there." Cun Xingqi said immediately.  "Then it's General Lao!" Wang Dafei said with solemn hands.  Supported by a group of adjutants and subordinates, the two inspected the defensive positions built by the Yunnan Army in Songshan.  Come to a higher point on the mountain, from here you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Songshan Mountain.  Cun Xingqi held up his binoculars and watched groups of paratroopers being ordered to deploy to various defensive trenches and firepower points. Everything was in order.  He nodded secretly, put down the telescope and asked, "Commander Wang, do you have any other suggestions for our defense line?" "I don't take the suggestions seriously, but there are some areas that I think can be strengthened." Wang Dafei said.  "Oh? Brother Wang, please make it clear where it is. We can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, work together, and cooperate sincerely to fight against the enemy." Cun Xing said curiously.  "I can't explain this clearly in just a few words. General, why don't we go back to your headquarters and I'll explain it to you on the map." Wang Dafei said.  Cun Xingqi nodded happily.  After returning to the headquarters, Cun Xingqi asked Adjutant Chen to take out the battle map. Wang Dafei looked at it, shook his head with some dissatisfaction, and said to the confused Cun Xingqi: "General, please wait a moment.  Time, I asked my staff adjutants to build something." "What?" Cun Xingqi asked in confusion. Wang Dafei smiled mysteriously and said: "General, there is no need to ask in a hurry. You will know when the time comes.  " After saying that, Wang Dafei said goodbye and left, returning to another cave not far from Cun Xingqi's headquarters. He began to get busy with the staff adjutants. That afternoon, several US bombers flew over the Songshan Fortress again.  , carried out a wild bombing of the Japanese defense positions. The cave where Wang Dafei and the others were was shaken to dust. At this time, Cun Xingqi hurried over and said to Wang Dafei: "Commander Wang, the United States.  After an air raid, people usually carry out artillery bombardment, and then send out infantry to attack.  You need to inform your people to be more vigilant and prepare for artillery fire.  Wang Dafei, who had been busy with several adjutants for a long time, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General, please rest assured, the officers and soldiers of our regiment are now fully prepared."  "    "Yeah?  "Cun Xingqi said, and saw a strange thing behind Wang Dafei, which was still surrounded by several staff adjutants. He walked over curiously, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said uncertainly: "Captain Wang  , this, is this a sand table?  " "Yes, it is a simple sand table we made based on the nearby terrain environment and map.  Because of time constraints, this sandbox is not yet so accurate and perfect, but it is enough for us to study and deploy.  Wang Dafei said. Cun Xingqi looked at the gradually completed sand table in amazement and said: "That's great. It's amazing that you can make this in such a short period of time."  " "General, you probably don't know yet. Sand table homework and blueprint homework are all compulsory basic courses at our Longxing Military Academy in the north.  “All soldiers and officers who have attended military academies can master this technology.  "Wang Dafei said with some pride. Cun Xingqi nodded and said with deep approval: "I don't know, I'm really shocked. Compared with you, we are still too far behind.  "At this time, a deafening roar of artillery came from outside. Cun Xingqi was suddenly startled and said with some worry: "Oh, the Yankees' artillery fire is too fierce. The few mountain cannons we have have been completely destroyed by them.  .  Now I don’t know how many brothers are going to shed their blood on the battlefield.  " Wang Dafei said without any worry: "General Cun, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, there are many ways to defend against artillery and air defense. I think that by now, the brothers in the trenches should have safely hid.  Don’t worry, there won’t be too many casualties.  "    "real?  " Cun Xingqi was very curious. " Let's go to the front line and have a look later. General, you will understand.  "Wang Dafei said with a relaxed smile. "We won't be able to go up later. After the Yankees bombard them, they will definitely send out infantry to launch a large-scale charge. As commanders, we should sit down and command the entire battlefield.  "Cun Xingqi shook his head and said. "Attack?  Wang Dafei smiled contemptuously and said: "This time, let's get rid of their artillery first and see what the Americans use to attack."  " With that said, under Cun Xingqi's curious gaze, Wang Dafei picked up a wireless walkie-talkie and called: "Ying Falcon, Eagle Falcon, how are you doing over there?  " In a secret bunker in the forward position where the artillery was rumbling, an airborne soldier who was secretly calculating the specific location of the US artillery position based on the trajectory of the US artillery shells said with a wireless intercom: "Head, that's almost it. You can call the Viper.  " "Very good, immediately send all the latest information to the Vipers and request them to provide air support!  "After Wang Dafei finished speaking, he put down the walkie-talkie. He turned to Cun Xingqi and said: "General, we might as well go up there and see the excitement.  " Due to repeated fierce attacks, Morgan ordered the artillery and tank troops to increase the intensity and duration of the extended shelling. It took almost half an hour before the US military's shelling began to extend. And it was already prepared that morning  When the servants were about to launch an attack, there was suddenly a loud roar of aircraft engines in the sky. Some British and American officers supervising the battle quickly raised their binoculars and looked into the sky, only to see a swarm of black Chinese fighter jets.  Flying over the top of Songshan Mountain, it quickly swooped towards them. "Oh my god, damn it, it's a Chinese plane, hurry up" "Oh my god, we are going to die!"  "The British and American war supervising officers and the Indian Asan and Burmese Monkey's servants were suddenly plunged into panic and chaos. A dozen Stuka dive bombers took the lead and accurately killed them. With the precision provided by the ground forces,Quasi coordinate position.  The aerial bombs they carried accurately landed on the American artillery positions hidden in the woods.  The U.S. M4 tank group also hiding in the woods and shelling also suffered a devastating air attack.  “Boom, boom, boom…” Violent explosions sounded one after another in the woods.  A large number of U.S. artillery and tank troops were instantly swallowed up by the explosion, claiming their lives. American and British artillery and tanks were instantly blown into groups of scrap metal parts.  Just after the first round of bombing by more than a dozen Stuka bombers, dozens of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers began to drop bombs at high altitudes with precision.  “The British and American coalition forces and servants who had been suppressing the Yunnan Army with air and ground firepower were hit by the most violent air firepower in their lives at this moment.  Violent explosions occurred one after another in the large woods and gentle slopes in front of Songshan Mountain. Fires and thick smoke billowed into the sky, rising straight into the sky.  The British and American devils and their army of servants were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, leaving dead and wounded everywhere.  (To be continued.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 569: The Battle of Hong Kong and Macao (1)

    High on Songshan Mountain, Cun Qi, Adjutant Chen and other generals of the Yunnan Army held up their binoculars and looked excitedly at the magnificent scene.  "Haha, great, the Yankees are dead!" "Damn, it's really a relief, let the damn American devils also have a taste of being bombed!"  This is completely similar to the powerful force of destruction.  The air raid lasted for more than half an hour, until the British and American coalition forces and their servants were completely killed and injured, with corpses strewn across the field. Only then did they flap their wings with satisfaction and say hello to the cheering and cheering defenders.  , flew back in a swaggering manner.  Under a rock near the US military headquarters, the unkempt Morgan dared to show his head at this moment.  When he saw the tragedy in his own position, he was so angry that he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The color of the pitch-black face could not be clearly seen, but the eyes that were almost spitting fire could still best prove that he was at this moment.  Inner anger.  "You bastard, call the air force immediately to carry out retaliatory bombing on the Chinese, quickly!" Morgan roared and ordered the adjutant next to him.  The adjutant ran away quickly, but not long after, he ran back in a panic: "Sir, our radio station was blown up." "Then go to the British and use theirs." Morgan roared with red eyes.  With.  On Songshan Mountain, Wang Dafei put down his telescope with satisfaction and said to Qi Cun: "General, it will be impossible for the Americans to attack for a while. Let's go down and see what's different in the forward positions." "Well, okay." Cun.  Mr. Qi is now convinced and admires Wang Dafei and his men.  “The Air Force also came for reinforcements, but they were able to provide such precise positioning and combined with the Air Force, directly causing unimaginable damage to the Americans.  "And our previous performance was really unsatisfactory.  When Cun Qi and the others arrived at the frontline trenches, they were surprised to find that the original loose and extremely simple trenches had undergone earth-shaking changes.  It became narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. In many places, barriers were built across the trenches with planks, branches, tree trunks and soil.  Wang Dafei pointed to these changes and said: "Narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, coupled with this artificial barrier, we can effectively prevent enemy artillery shell shrapnel and aerial bombs from causing damage to our soldiers in the trenches during the scattering process in the explosion. However,  Since we lack steel plates and other equipment, if the enemy's artillery shells or aerial bombs fall on it accurately, these simple civil engineering works will still be of no use. At that time, life and death will be left to fate." Cun Qi saw it.  After that, he nodded in agreement, and within two steps, he discovered that in the trench that was not spacious, the walls on both sides were staggered with many small holes that he had never seen before.  These caves can basically only accommodate one person, and many of Wang Dafei's subordinates are hiding inside.  Wang Dafei continued to introduce: "This kind of hole is called a cat's ear hole, which can be used for effective air defense and artillery defense. But we are tight on time and haven't had time to dig a bigger and deeper one. Otherwise, all the soldiers can be attacked by the enemy's artillery and air strikes."  When the time comes, you can hide in this big cat's ear hole and only leave a small number of warning soldiers at high places. With the trenches and the special structure of the cat's ear hole, it is basically difficult for the enemy's artillery fire and bombing to cause harm to our soldiers.  It's a threat. "This is the best way to defend against air and artillery when our own side has no air superiority and lacks the support of air defense weapons and strong artillery troops." Cun Qi bent down and took a closer look at the cat-ear hole, and then drilled it himself.  Went in and gave it a try.  When he came out, he said with admiration: "Who invented this kind of cat ear piercing? It's really smart. This is simply the most powerful invention in defensive warfare!" Wang Dafei said proudly:  "General, you may not believe it when I tell you. Our knowledge and skills in building fortifications were all learned at Longxing Military Academy, and the person who compiled these training courses was our Chairman, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xinghan Zhang!" "Ah? These?  Commander-in-Chief Zhang came up with it?" Cun Qi couldn't believe it.  "Yeah." Wang Dafei nodded solemnly.  Cun Qi said: "Chairman Zhang is really a genius. No wonder he was able to sweep away the Japanese army in such a short period of time and avenge the huge humiliation that China has suffered for hundreds of years!" ……… Mandalay,  U.S. Army Command.  Colonel Mick came to MacArthur, who was smoking a cigar, and held a message with a heavy face. He saluted him and said: "General, Morgan just called. They suffered a fierce air attack from the Chinese Air Force. Artillery, tank troops and infantry were lost."  & are extremely tragic.nbsp; He requested the general to send additional reinforcements immediately, otherwise the attack would be unsustainable and might even fail in counterattack by the Chinese [***] team.  "    "Um?  MacArthur held a cigar in his hand and frowned: "How could the Chinese suddenly succeed in air strikes? Didn't the previous air strikes have no effective effect?"  " Colonel Mick analyzed it to the point: "Did they increase their troops?  " "It's very possible.  MacArthur thought for a moment and said, "Call back to Morgan. One hundred thousand elite Army troops from the United States of America have landed. Ten thousand reinforcements will arrive in three days at most. Ask him to hold on."  No matter what happens, we must ensure that the Longling and Mangshi that we have already obtained will not be lost again.  In addition, our airborne troops are almost ready. By then, we will break through the Chinese Nujiang defense line in one fell swoop!  "    "yes!  "Mick bowed his head in response, turned around and left. ………… Hawaii, the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Combined Fleet. Nimitz put his hands on the conference table with a dark face and looked at the staff members present at the meeting.  They said with serious faces: "The heavy losses on Luzon Island made President Roosevelt extremely angry.  Congress is also extremely dissatisfied with this. If we cannot reverse this unfavorable situation as soon as possible, how will we explain to the people of the United States of America?  How to explain to Mr. President!  Your Excellency the President has given instructions. He requires us to plan an air strike on Nanjing, the capital of China, within a month and implement it successfully.  In order to restore the negative impact caused by the heavy losses suffered by the First and Third Fleets, we encourage our military officers and soldiers and the American people.  " "I hope you can come up with a suitable plan for me as soon as possible!  "    "yes!  "The senior U.S. military officers and staff present stood up and responded at the same time with serious expressions.  Songshan, in a forward trench. Wang Dafei's airborne troops were instructing the Yunnan Army officers and soldiers on how to reinforce fortifications and dig.  Mao Erdong. The Yunnan Army officers and soldiers quickly changed from a somewhat competitive mentality to these elite Central Army troops who came for reinforcements. The two sides soon became one and formed a deep friendship.  Friendship. In the headquarters, Wang Dafei's sand table was also made, and he was explaining how to strengthen the entire defense line with Cun Xingqi and other Yunnan commanders. Suddenly, a paratrooper scout walked in with a submachine gun on his back and asked Wang Dafei and others.  The man saluted: "Regiment seat, General Cun, the Americans have withdrawn.  " "What, retreated?"  Cun Qi was surprised at first, and then said with joy: "Great, it seems that the Americans are afraid of being bombed by us."  " Wang Dafei nodded and said: "It should be, the enemy's casualties in the bombing just now were definitely not small.  "However, they have suffered such a big loss. I guess they will never give up. They should be temporarily retreating and are mobilizing reinforcements to make a comeback."  Therefore, we cannot let down our guard and take advantage of this rare opportunity to firmly strengthen our defense line.  " "That's right, Commander Wang, you will be solely responsible for the renovation of the fortifications.  "Cun Qi took the initiative. "Well, then it's better for Wang to be respectful than to obey.  "Wang Dafei nodded happily. …………Nanjing, the Operations Hall of the Military Commission. Zhang Xinghan convened Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, Long Yun, Liu Xiang and other local powerful generals to hold the first formal meeting. "My dear brothers, Xinghan today  I have called everyone here just to discuss with you the recovery of Hong Kong and Macau.  "Zhang Xinghan sat in the first place, looked at everyone present, paused and continued: "Now the British have become the lackeys and accomplices of the Americans, brazenly declaring war on our country.  It is necessary for us, and it is time to mobilize our forces to regain Hong Kong and Macau.  Bai Chongxi frowned slightly and said: "Commissioner, now that the American army is pressing down on the border, can we still mobilize the navy and air force to carry out the battle to regain Hong Kong and Macau?"  In addition, Portugal, which occupies Macau, has not yet declared war on us. Is it appropriate for us to launch a campaign to regain Macau?  " Zhang Xinghan replied: "According to the information we have, the British have not many troops stationed in Hong Kong. Moreover, we have airports in Hainan and the Pearl River Delta.  We can easily rule the skies over Hong Kong and Macau. On the sea, we can deploy some submarines and a battleship, which should be enough to blockade Hong Kong, Macau and nearby waters.  As for the Portuguese army in Macau, its combat effectiveness is negligible.  ?After finishing speaking, Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, I really haven't noticed the fighting power of those British soft-footed shrimps on the island. Maybe the British have been scared before our troops landed.  Maybe we surrender." Jiang Baili continued what Zhang Xinghan said: "Hong Kong and Macau are our inherent territories, but they were taken away from the incompetent former Qing regime by the foreign powers who launched a war of aggression.  We have all denied the humiliating treaty and agreement. Under such circumstances and premise, it is necessary for us to regain the inherent territory close to the country. We cannot fight to the death with Britain and the United States on the periphery, while there are still one or two enemy countries occupying our own country in the hinterland.  Island. Moreover, the people on the island have been enslaved by the enemy for many years. It’s time for them to return to the embrace of the motherland!”

    Seeing that Jiang Baili had said so, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others couldn't say anything else.  Because everyone knows that Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan wear the same pair of pants.  The two of them agreed, and it was basically finalized. Rather than discussing it with them, it was better to announce it.  In view of this, Bai Chongxi said: "Since Mr. Chiang has said so, then everything depends on the commission. But commission, how many of them and how many troops do you plan to deploy to participate in this campaign to regain Hong Kong and Macao?" "Well,  Let Mr. Jiang briefly describe it to everyone." Zhang Xinghan gestured to Jiang Baili.  "The committee decided to deploy two naval destroyers, one cruiser, five submarines, and seven landing ships from the Taiwan Border Guard this time, carrying two Marine Corps brigades, totaling more than a thousand people. Implemented directly from the sea to Hong Kong  Landing, in addition, on land, two regiments of the Cantonese Army were mobilized to assemble in Shenzhen Bay and attack Hong Kong from there. In addition, in order to prevent accidents, ten aircraft were mobilized from the direction of Shanghai and Hangzhou as a guarantee for controlling air superiority.  road.  "In addition, a large number of agents from the Military Command Bureau and the Security Bureau have begun preparations in Hong Kong and Macau. Our agents are still trying their best to instigate the Chinese police and patrols in Hong Kong and Macau. When necessary, they will attack the two sides separately.  The British and Portuguese colonial forces launched attacks to support our landing troops," Zhang Xinghan added.  …………Hong Kong, the Governor-General’s Office of the British Empire in Hong Kong.  The 20th Governor of Hong Kong, Earl Law Fuguo, is currently smoking in his office with a gloomy look on his face.  Since the British Empire declared war on China more than half a month ago.  Luo Fuguo fell into deep anxiety.  Since the Chinese ** Corps completely controlled the air and sea, it cut off the British forces in Hong Kong from the outside world from the sea.  Therefore, his army cannot receive any reinforcements.  He had sent it to the local high command a few days ago.  Suggestions on abandoning Hong Kong.  “However, given that the current situation in Asia, especially in China’s southeastern coastal areas, has deteriorated, the Supreme Command rejected his suggestion.  And ordered him to hold on to Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula.  In desperation, Earl Luo Fuguo immediately began to build and strengthen Hong Kong's defense lines.  But due to the inability to obtain external material and military reinforcements.  The British army’s defense in Hong Kong is still weak.  Count Luo Fuguo knew very well that with the current situation and Hong Kong's unfavorable geographical location, his more than 10,000 garrison soldiers who had never fought before would never be able to compare with the wolf-like tigers of the Chinese Army.  .  Hong Kong will eventually fall, it is only a matter of time.  The only hope for Luo Fuguo and his subordinates is that the British and American coalition forces can defeat the Chinese navy and air force on the frontal battlefield.  In this way, the British troops in Hong Kong can receive direct and effective support.  However, not long ago, the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the U.S. Pacific Combined Fleet were defeated one after another, which shattered the last hope in Count Luo Fuguo's heart.  Therefore, Luo Fuguo has been in an extremely bad mood these past few days.  While Luo Fuguo was puffing away his words, a burst of footsteps came from the corridor outside the office.  He looked up.  I saw my Colonial Secretary Smith hurriedly walked in.  "Mr. Governor, what's wrong, according to the latest news from our army's reconnaissance troops on the Kowloon front, the Chinese Army has sent more troops to Shenzhen Bay." Smith said as he came in.  Luo Fuguo looked startled, then reacted: "Is the Chinese attack about to begin?" "It should be, Mr. Governor. What should we do? With our current strength, it is difficult to stop the Chinese army.  Offensive." Smith was a little nervous.  Luo Fuguo said angrily: "What else can we do? We are soldiers of the British Empire. We must fulfill our mission and fight with the Chinese Army to the last moment!"  Late March of the 26th year of the Republic of China  .  A dozen Flying Fortress bombers took off from Guangzhou Airport, escorted by five Zero fighter jets.  Flying over Hong Kong.  With the accurate information provided by the Secret Service agents who had been lurking on the island for a long time, an accurate air strike was carried out against the Hong Kong British army's Kai Tak Airport on the island.  Five British fighter jets and eight civilian aircraft were destroyed in an instant.  In just a few minutes, the Chinese Air Force easily gained control of the air.  Subsequently, the naval task force entered Hong Kong and began, with the assistance of the air force, to violently bombard the British coastal defenses in Kowloon and the Bay area.  With thisAt the same time, two elite regiments of the Cantonese army transferred from Guangzhou and four Cantonese army camps originally gathered in Shenzhen Bay, a total of more than 5,000 people, also crossed the Shenzhen River and launched an attack on Kowloon Island along the Kowloon-Canton Railway.  After more than half an hour of bombing and naval shelling, more than a thousand Chinese Marine Corps soldiers landed in separate groups from Clear Water Bay, Tseung Kwan O, and Tai Long Bay in Sai Kung on the east side of Kowloon Island.  Under the cover of powerful fire support from naval gun groups and air force fighter planes, more than a thousand Marine Corps soldiers from the Northeast Border Guard marched unstoppably.  It turned out to be faster than the advancement of more than 5,000 elite Cantonese troops.  When the elite Cantonese army encountered a determined blockade by the British army in the Sheung Shui, Sha Tau Kok and Yuen Long areas, they fell into a stalemate.  In just two hours, more than a thousand elite Marines quickly penetrated into the hinterland of Tseung Kwan O and Sai Kung on Kowloon Island.  The British troops on the island could not resist and retreated hastily to the southwest.  The attack started in the morning. By two o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Marine Corps eliminated all remaining enemies in the Saigon area and began to advance towards the hinterland of Kowloon Island.  Due to the loss of the Saigon area, the British troops who resisted the Chinese Guangdong Army's attack in Sha Tau Kok, Sheung Shui and other places were forced to abandon their defense lines and retreat southward.  More than 5,000 Cantonese troops immediately took advantage of the situation and captured the British defense line. After receiving the notice, they quickly divided their troops to pursue the British troops.  They caught up with part of the British army in the Tuen Mun and New Territories areas, and after fierce hand-to-hand combat, eliminated the enemy in front of them.  At the same time, the Marine Corps also advanced to the Sha Tin District area, and the British army was forced to completely abandon its defenses on the Kowloon Peninsula.  Seize the road to evacuate to Hong Kong Island and outlying islands.  In the evening, the Marine Corps and the Cantonese Army met in the Sham Shui Po area.  That night, agents from the Bureau of Secrecy and the Bureau of Military Control lurking on the main island of Hong Kong jointly mobilized a large number of Chinese police officers and workers to attack the British barricades, transportation lines, etc.  The British soldiers on the island were panicked and their morale was low.  At the same time, with the cooperation of the agents, a navy cruiser and two destroyers began to launch accurate targeted clearing bombardments on the coastal defenses around Hong Kong Island.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 571: The Battle of Hong Kong and Macao (3)

    Causeway Bay, when the British troops retreated hastily from the Kowloon Peninsula to the Hong Kong Island, it has become their most forward line of defense on Hong Kong Island.  In a defense group of barricades and bunkers, about hundreds of British soldiers were hiding behind the fortifications in fear, bearing the wrath of the Chinese artillery from across the strait.  The British army has no air control, let alone sea control, and the only artillery firepower it has has been destroyed long ago.  At this moment, he was completely in a situation of being passively beaten.  "Boom!" Another artillery shell roared from high altitude and landed near a British bunker.  There was a violent explosion, and the resulting shock wave and fire failed to destroy the reinforced concrete bunker, but many British machine gunners and riflemen in the bunker still felt the ground beneath their feet trembling.  The British soldiers who were choked by the thick smoke couldn't help coughing violently, and their tears couldn't stop flowing out.  Several British soldiers hiding in trenches not far from the bunkers were not so lucky.  A British veteran near the bunker was hit by raging shrapnel, and he immediately fell into a pool of blood.  A companion beside him looked very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and saw the veteran lying in a pool of blood.  He suddenly panicked and shouted nervously and shrilly: "Medical soldier, medical soldier, come and save him, save him" However, his hysterical shouting was overshadowed by the roaring and ear-splitting explosions.  Completely covered up.  No one paid attention to him, and no medical soldiers came to save him.  The veteran who had always taken good care of him died slowly and painfully due to excessive blood loss.  "This damn war, I hate war!" The young British soldier cried bitterly, speaking incoherently and trying to block the veteran's wound in a panic.  The blood still kept flowing out.  The veteran's eyes were full of unwillingness, and his bloody hand grabbed the young soldier's arm, trying his best to say something, but the young soldier was obviously frightened.  She didn’t notice his changes at all. Until he died, his hand was still tightly holding the young soldier who had just joined the army.  A pair of eyes were opened with such unwillingness.  But it has lost its luster.  The blood stopped flowing. Only then did the British recruits react. Looking at the veteran's somewhat hollow eyes, he knelt beside the veteran's body and cried bitterly.  "Qiuqiuboom!!" The shelling of the Chinese ** team on the opposite side continued, and shells continued to fall on the British defense line, causing violent explosions one after another.  But this British soldier was lucky. After the veteran died, no shells or stray bullets fell and hit him.  In the British Governor's Palace.  Colonial Secretary Smith said to Earl Luo Fuguo: "Your Excellency, the Chinese Communist Army sent me a surrender notice through its secret service organization, ordering us to lower the flag and surrender before eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Otherwise, they will continue to attack the Hong Kong Peninsula.  ." Luo Fuguo looked a little bitter.  Do you really want him to be the first colonial governor of the British Empire to surrender? ? Then his family’s glory will be destroyed in his hands.  After pondering for a long time, Luo Fuguo said firmly: "Order the frontline troops to use their counterattack to tell the Chinese Army that the British Empire's troops will never surrender!" Smith's face changed for a while, and finally he had to lower his head and said yes,  Turn around and leave as ordered.  …………Nanjing, the chairman’s office is brightly lit.  "Committee. The Kowloon Peninsula has been captured by our army, and the message of persuading the British army to surrender has also been sent out. However, the British Governor in Hong Kong, Luo Fuguo, was unwilling to surrender. He also ordered the troops to launch a counterattack against our army at night.  But they have been defeated by our frontline troops." Guo Zhong reported to Zhang Xinghanhui with a telegram.  "Then take it. Any British troops who resist to the end will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Xinghan said with a somewhat grim expression: "In any case, the war in Hong Kong must be resolved before the day after tomorrow and Hong Kong must be recovered. Within a week, Macau must be recovered.  ” Fighting may break out again at any time along the first island chain defense lines in the southwest and southeast.  Naturally, the sooner the Hong Kong and Macao war ends, the better.  After Guo Zhong was ordered to leave, Zhang Xinghan took out his multifunctional watch and played with it.  After this period, the southwest as well as Luzon Island and the ongoing Hong Kong and Macao battles.  As the number of enemies killed by your own troops increases.  He also accumulated a lot of enemy kill points for himself. ??????????????????? Due to the larger tonnage of the US military ships that are sunk, the enemy kill value is obtained faster than that of killing enemy soldiers.  In just these few battles, Li Feng found that he was producing jet combatThe enemy kill value with the helicopter has actually recovered to 7788.  It seems that it will take a few months until the training of the new air force is almost complete.  I really have the ability to equip them with at least one hundred jet fighters and two hundred helicopters.  With the addition of these epoch-making weapons, Li Feng can already imagine what kind of blow the US military will suffer.  …………… In Hong Kong waters, the British army refused to surrender. After receiving instructions from Zhang Xinghan’s call back, Yu Hanmou, the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese army, was responsible for unified command of the battle.  Immediately ordered the dedicated troops who had just repelled the British counterattack to launch an attack overnight.  Launch a full-scale offensive on Hong Kong Island.  For a time, the sound of gunfire and explosions that had just stopped resounded throughout the night sky of Hong Kong Island again.  The lurking secret agents of the Bureau of Secrecy and the Bureau of Military Control also took action.  Do your best to attack all British facilities and lone personnel on Hong Kong Island as much as possible.  Even the British Governor's Palace was shot threateningly by secret service snipers.  At twelve o'clock in the evening, the Marine Corps successfully landed from Causeway Bay.  Five thousand elite troops of the Guangdong Army also came ashore and quickly expanded the landing site.  The British army organized an all-out counterattack, but were repelled by the enemy with powerful firepower and advanced equipment.  After a disastrous defeat, the Marine Corps and the Cantonese Army, totaling more than 6,000 troops, divided into three groups and advanced towards the hinterland of Hong Kong Island.  The British army, which suffered heavy losses, could not resist. Those who surrendered along the way were shot and killed.  The army was quickly defeated. By two o'clock in the morning, a squadron of the Marine Corps had already rushed outside the British Governor's Palace and met up with some of the spies who were conducting attacks here.  Listening to the sound of gunfire approaching his Governor's Mansion, Count Luo Fuguo could no longer sit still.  Colonial Secretary Smith advised: "Mr. Governor, we have tried our best to resist, but the defeat has been determined. There is no need to let more soldiers die in vain. Surrender as soon as possible." When death was approaching, Luo Fuguo still chose  In order to surrender, he nodded in humiliation and agreed to surrender.  The guards of the British Governor's Palace quickly raised the white flag. At the same time, Smith conveyed Luo Fuguo's order, and other British troops on the island also stopped resisting one after another.  At five o'clock in the morning, the Chinese ** team successfully controlled the entire Hong Kong island and outlying islands.  A total of more than 6,000 British troops were captured.  The next day, Yu Hanmou held an entry ceremony on behalf of the National Revolutionary Army on the main island of Hong Kong.  Residents on the island rushed to both sides of the street, held up banners to welcome the arrival of Hong Kong, and celebrated with them the successful return of Hong Kong to the embrace of the motherland.  After regaining Hong Kong, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Yu Hanmou to prepare to recover Macau Island, which was occupied by Portuguese colonialists.  But what was unexpected was that when the British army was defeated and surrendered, Hong Kong was recaptured by the Chinese army.  The Portuguese garrison and officials on Macau Island took the initiative to send electricity to the Nationalist Government and expressed their willingness to return Macau Island unconditionally.  But an additional condition was put forward, that is, we hope that the Chinese troops can get out of the way and allow them to safely withdraw to the mainland.  Yu Hanmou did not dare to be arbitrary and quickly reported the situation to Zhang Xinghan urgently.  After listening to the report, Zhang Xinghan instructed: "We can accept their proposal of surrender and unconditional return of Macau Island. But the garrison on Macau Island must disarm our army. Since it is an unconditional surrender and such an additional condition is added, then  Isn’t that nonsense?”  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s instructions, Yu Hanmou immediately replied to the Portuguese officials and military in Macau.  The Portuguese side obviously found it difficult to accept the Chinese government’s tough attitude, and there was no response for a while.  After Zhang Xinghan learned about it, he became furious and said: "Immediately order Yu Hanmou to attack immediately. Damn you, you are obviously at the end of your rope, and you want to be a bitch and build an arch to flatter them." Mobilize warships and planes to surround Macau Island.  They were ordered to raise the white flag and surrender within two hours, otherwise they would all be wiped out on the spot. Why should we be polite to them? "" April 1st, the 26th year of the Republic of China.  Portugal on Macau Island stalled for time and had no response. Yu Hanmou followed Zhang Xinghan's order and led an army of 2,000 people, with the cooperation of the navy and air force.  Surrounding Macau Island.  The air force raided some military facilities and docks on the island by the Portuguese army.  Yu Hanmou sent someone to give the Portuguese army an ultimatum.  Under the deterrence of the squadron’s aircraft, warships and artillery, they took refuge.The Portuguese garrison and officials on the island along the way finally reluctantly chose to surrender.  Two thousand Cantonese troops marched to the island to accept the surrender and were stationed in various places on the island. With the assistance of agents from the Military Command and Security Bureau, they were responsible for maintaining public order.  Because the Chinese army attacked Macau Island, Portugal’s Far East colony.  The furious Portuguese government officially declared war on the Nationalist Government that afternoon.  A few hours later, the Nationalist Government immediately declared war on Portugal.  However, although the two countries declared war, they did not go to war.  The reason is that Portugal has no time to focus on the Asian battlefield at this time.  Because the Germans have destroyed Poland in just over half a month.  And when they invaded the Soviet Union, the Soviet border guards were caught off guard. In just a few weeks, they lost thousands of fighter planes and millions of troops.  The German blitzkrieg achieved brilliant results.  Therefore, Western European countries such as Portugal and France are unable to take care of Asia at this moment. The declaration of war against the Nationalist Government is more of a diplomatic attitude and strategic consideration.  In less than a week, the ** recovered the two islands of Hong Kong and Macao, which had been occupied by Western powers for a long time.  The reputation of Zhang Xinghan and others has been greatly improved again, the whole country is excited, and all the people are celebrating.  (To be continued)

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 572: Grand Strategy

    Moscow, Kremlin, Office Building 1.  Stalin is unleashing his thunderous wrath, because, in just over a month.  The German army not only destroyed Poland, which had more than one million land, sea and air force, but also assembled more than three million troops. The troops were divided into three groups and launched a sudden attack on the Soviet border.  German aircraft attacked several important Soviet air force bases on the western border at the very beginning of the war.  Hundreds of Soviet aircraft were completely destroyed by the German air forces before they even had a chance to take off to attack.  In just one week since the war began, the Soviet army lost more than 50% of its mobile regiments.  Many troops could not even complete their assembly before they were surrounded and eliminated by the German ground armored forces.  The reason is that the German army has advanced tactics and advanced equipment. After Stalin’s purge, the Soviet army lost many experienced middle- and low-level officers, resulting in a serious decline in combat effectiveness.  It is also an important reason why such an unbearable situation emerged as soon as the war began.  Today, the Soviet army has suffered heavy losses, losing a territory twice the size of France, a large industrial area and a population.  The situation has reached a critical point.  After Stalin roared, he began to calm down and waited for Zhukov and Vasilevsky, the most recent celebrities under his command, and other close generals and staff.  Discuss together the deployment of the next resistance strategy, and quickly recruit new soldiers in unoccupied areas to expand armaments.  The Patriotic War of the Soviet Union began.  …………… In Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan was also with Jiang Baili.  Liu Guodong, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and others held a meeting.  Zhang Xinghan could tell from the surprise of the participants.  Obviously they did not expect that the seemingly powerful Soviet army would perform so poorly under the German surprise attack.  The German offensive was overwhelming and in less than two months, it occupied millions of square kilometers of territory and tens of millions of people in the Soviet Union.  The annihilation of millions of their troops was a great shock and impact to China's senior generals.  In less than two months, millions of Soviet border guards were annihilated and more than a thousand miles of territory was plundered. What a sharp offensive this was.  "Everyone, the progress of the Soviet-German war is roughly like this. Tell me your opinions." Zhang Xinghan asked the participants in a leisurely manner. In Zhang Xinghan's mind, the worse the Soviet army was beaten by the German army, the safer the northeastern part of China would be.  .  The more military power, material and manpower oneself can gather, the more Americans can carry out decisive battles.  Li Zongren was the first to speak: "Commissioner, I believe that if the Soviet-German war continues at this pace, the German army is likely to capture the capital of the Soviet Union before the end of this year, 1937. Win this war." Bai Chongxi expressed his opinion: "  Mr. De, you underestimate the Soviet army's war potential. They have a population of hundreds of millions and the largest territory in the world. Even if they were caught off guard by the Germans in the early stage, they would not lose their combat capabilities.  Because they have enough strategic depth and space to gain breathing space, they can resist as slowly as possible and wait for a favorable opportunity to counterattack.  The surprise attack is a temporary victory, but if the Soviet army cannot be defeated as quickly as possible in a very short period of time, the war will fall into a protracted war of attrition, and the outcome will be difficult to predict.  Because, please don’t forget that Britain and France are still watching on Germany’s western front. If the German army devotes all its strength to a decisive battle with the Soviets on the Soviet-German war battlefield, if they attack the German army from behind, the Germans will likely be in dire straits.  Of course, Hitler and his staff would not have thought of this, and they would definitely leave a strong force on the Western Front to guard against possible invasion threats from Britain, France and other countries. It is precisely because of this that the Germans cannot.  By using all the troops on the Soviet battlefield, it is really unknown whether the millions of troops invested in the Soviet Union can consume all their war potential before the Soviets can slow down." Bai Chongxi  As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present nodded unanimously.  After Li Zongren savored his analysis, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.  Jiang Baili laughed and said: "Director Bai's strategic vision is indeed good, and his analysis is completely correct. "nbsp;Without the intervention of external forces, it would be difficult for the Germans to truly conquer the huge polar bear with their military and national strength at this time.  So today, the purpose of the Chairman convening everyone is to announce to everyone an extremely grand strategic battle plan.  However, before we want to implement these strategies, there is a first condition, that is, we must defeat the main force of the U.S. Navy and Air Force in the Pacific War.  " "A grand strategic battle plan?  "Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Chongxi asked curiously: "What is the plan? Can Mr. Jiang make it clear?  " Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan with a smile, and then said: "This strategic plan is the next three-step plan for our army.  The first is what I just said, we must first concentrate all our efforts to defeat the U.S. Navy and Air Force.  Second, order the two major border defense forces in the northwest and northeast to form a huge attack group to launch a full-line attack from the northwest, northeast, and the Korean Peninsula to the Soviet Union's Siberia, Vladivostok, Sakhalin and other Far East regions.  The goal of the first phase is to recover Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, Tangnu Uryang Sea and the entire East Siberia region.  These areas, all the way to Lake Baikal, were once the territory of our Chinese nation, and we must take them back from the polar bears.  The later goal is to march westward along the Siberian Railway to cope with the German army's operations.  Third, after gaining control of the sea and air in the Pacific, dispatch the Southwest and Southeast Frontier Forces to attack the Indochina Peninsula.  The goal is to seize all French, British, Dutch and American colonies in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific Islands, and expel them from the Asian region.  Blockade the Strait of Malacca and deploy our second island chain defense line.  On land, after capturing Southeast Asia, our army sent an expeditionary force to Central Asia and the Middle East.  The strategic purpose is also to destroy the Soviet Union’s largest industrial area and food supply base in western Central Asia.  Because it is foreseeable that once Siberia and the Far East, as well as Kiev, Ukraine are attacked by both us and the German army at the same time, they will be destroyed. ? Then Central Asia will become the last base of life for the Soviets.  Our expeditionary force in Southeast Asia, with the cooperation of the Northwest Expeditionary Force, can attack here and cut off the Soviets' last war potential.  And as long as Central Asia is captured, our expeditionary force can attack the Middle East from land, thereby realizing the strategic plan of meeting the German army from both sides on land.  It is also conducive to the expansion of our military power to the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf and the African continent.  " "It is indeed a grand strategic plan. If this is implemented, China's territory and territory will be expanded.  "Liu Guodong couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly. In addition to the needs of the current situation, the main reason for conquering Central Asia, Siberia and the Middle East was that Zhang Xinghan knew that there were extremely rich strategic resources in the industrialization period underground. For example, the most important  As a time traveler, no one knows the importance of oil in future development better than Zhang Xinghan. Even the expansion into Africa is for the long-term plan of the Chinese nation, because the strategic resources such as oil in the Middle East and Africa are extremely important.  Rich. As long as the Chinese nation controls this place, it will become a superpower that controls the world's voice and acts as the world's police. He knows that in the future, whoever controls 80% of the oil on the earth will control it.  The lifeblood of other countries on the entire planet. The entire Siberia, the Middle East, and Africa, these areas are already the richest areas in underground mineral resources. It can be said that, except for the sea, 90% of the earth's most abundant mineral resources.  The important strategic resource oil comes from the above-mentioned areas. “One more thing, I would like to add, that is, before we defeat the US Navy and Air Force, our northwest and northeast border defense forces can tentatively launch attacks on Eastern Siberia, Vladivostok and even Sakhalin Island.  .  Firstly, to test the resistance strength of the Soviet army in these areas, and secondly, to put as much pressure on the Soviets as possible to support the German army's operations in Western Europe.  " Zhang Xinghan added with a smile. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Your Excellency, General, according to the results we have calculated, if we want to carry out an air strike on Nanjing, the capital of China, there are no more than two options.  First, B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were directly launched from the French colonial airport in Vietnam for bombing.  The second one takes off from the air force bases in the Philippines and Luzon Island. The straight-line air distance between the two places from Nanjing is more than 1,580 kilometers and 1,470 kilometers respectively.Many kilometers.  Theoretically, if we add fuel tanks to our bombers and carry as much fuel as possible, the bombers that fly out can return.  However, it should be noted that currently we do not have any fighter aircraft with a combat radius of more than 1,500 kilometers (the B-17 has a range of more than 2,900 kilometers and a combat radius of about 1,500 kilometers). Therefore, no matter  Taking off from the above two areas, once entering the airspace of Guangxi or Fujian, China, these bombers will complete the bombing mission alone.  During this period, they not only had to deal with the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese army, but also guarded against the Chinese fighter groups that might discover them.  So the probability of success is very low.  "In the U.S. Navy Pacific Combined Fleet Command in Hawaii, a staff officer reported and analyzed to Chief of General Staff Nimitz. (To be continued.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 573: Attack from the Northwest and the Northeast

    Nimitz smoked a cigar with a solemn expression, and President Roosevelt demanded that he complete this plan at all costs, which had greater strategic significance than actual results.  . Is it really necessary to pay the price of annihilating the entire attacking force to achieve this goal?  Nimitz was even worried that even if he gritted his teeth and agreed to one of the two plans of the combat staff.  Without the escort of fighter jets, can the bomber group escape the layers of interception by the Chinese Air Force and ground anti-aircraft firepower and successfully carry out an air attack on Nanjing?  After thinking for a while, Nimitz said: "Can you think of a way to take off a mixed fleet from the sea? What I mean is to use aircraft carriers to send them as close to mainland China as possible." "Your Excellency, General, I'm humble.  I understand what you mean. However, given the current situation between the enemy and the enemy in the Pacific and the damage to the two major fleets of our navy, it would be extremely dangerous to rashly approach the waters near China's first island chain. This danger does not only come from the sea.  In the air, the greater threat is the Chinese Navy's submarine force. They are the most bloodthirsty and cruel underwater wolves. If our aircraft carrier battle group is discovered by them, it will be difficult to survive." Nimitz said after listening to the combat staff.  Having said this, he immediately gave up the idea of ??launching bombing missions from the sea, because bombing the Chinese capital was certainly important.  But one’s own aircraft carrier battle group is obviously more important.  After pondering for a long time, Nimitz said: "In that case, let's implement the two plans you mentioned earlier." "Implement both plans at the same time?" the combat staff asked uncertainly.  "Yes, this should have a higher chance of success, right?" Nimitz said: "Submit our plan to the president, and then start preparations. Once the president calls back and agrees, we can implement it.  "Yes, General, I'll do it right away," the combat staff member quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and took the order to leave.  On the same day, Roosevelt, who was eager to retaliate against the Chinese and boost the morale of the people and the military, approved Nimitz.  Agree with the air raid plan submitted by Nimitz.  After getting Roosevelt's approval, Nimitz was relieved to handle the matter.  Three days later, a U.S. Air Force bomber group of about twenty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers, escorted by a group of P-38 fighter jets, quietly entered a military airport in the French colony in northern Vietnam.  On the same day, a group of about 30 bombers also quietly stationed at two military airports on Luzon Island, a powerhouse in the northern Philippines.  In order to prevent the Chinese from launching another air attack, the US military has greatly strengthened the Philippines' air defense and sea defense capabilities during the past period.  Especially in terms of air defense, not only a large number of fighter jets were deployed, but also a considerable number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were mobilized, forming a dense and complete air defense firepower network.  In the past ten days, the first batch of 100,000 US Army forward troops that started landing from the Indian Ocean went through a rapid march.  He also arrived at the northern border area of ??Myanmar three days ago and arrived at the Longling and Tengchong front lines on the same day as the Air Force bombing task force stationed at the military airport in the French colony of Vietnam.  The first batch of U.S. troops who arrived for reinforcements this time reached more than 8,000 troops, and Longling and Tengchong each received 4,000 reinforcements.  In addition, the reinforcements also brought a batch of artillery, which made up for the loss of frontline commander Morgan's artillery by the Chinese Air Force air strike.  …………… Mandalay, MacArthur is furious.  Because Roosevelt insisted on carrying out retaliatory air raids and bombings on Nanjing, the capital of China, Nimitz originally deployed him to Myanmar to prepare for the airdrop of the 82nd Paratrooper Airborne Troops and cooperate with ground troops to defeat the Chinese [***] team.  A group of fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft were mobilized from the Nujiang Defense Line, causing MacArthur's combat plan to be temporarily shelved.  As a result, MacArthur had to order Morgan and other frontline commanders to suspend the attack and wait for transport aircraft to be transferred from the mainland and other places to supplement the attack, before launching an attack on Gaoligong Mountain and Songshan Mountain.  Morgan received reinforcements, and with his strength restored, he was planning to attack Songshan again to avenge his previous humiliation.  However, he received MacArthur's instructions to stay on standby. Angrily, he immediately sent a message to MacArthur outlining the pros and cons.  At this time, MacArthur was furious. After Colonel Mick briefly described the contents of Morgan's message, he was angrily rebuked by MacArthur.  "What does he know? Without the assistance of the airborne troops, in such a terrain environment, it is difficult for our army to take advantage of mechanization and artillery fire. How much casualties will it cost to capture Songshan?"MacArthur blushed and poured all his anger on Morgan's cable.  Mick did not dare to say more, but waited cautiously for MacArthur to vent his anger, and then cautiously said: "But, General, one thing, Morgan is right. If we don't take the opportunity to attack at this moment,  When the reinforcements of the Chinese [***] Corps arrive continuously from the rear, won't it be more difficult for us to capture Songshan and Gaoligong Mountains?  It's impossible." MacArthur thought for a while, calmed down his anger a little, and told Mick, "Let's call Morgan back and attack with all our strength. It would be better if we can capture Songshan before the Chinese reinforcements arrive.  If you can’t, then stay where you are and wait for the battle situation to change.” Mick nodded, turned around and took the order to leave.  MacArthur stared at the map and pondered for a while, and finally slapped the Kunming Road on the map. If the Chinese reinforcements really gathered on the Nujiang line, then we would make a big gamble.  …………… On the Longling front line, Morgan was restored by MacArthur’s change in attitude. He was eager to avenge his shame and was overjoyed.  Immediately ordered the adjutant to gather the officers and begin to deploy a combat plan to launch another attack on Songshan.  Songshan, [***] defense line.  After more than a week of intense repairs, with the help of the paratroopers, the Songshan defense line has become much stronger.  It can almost be called a solid fortress.  General Cun Qi, accompanied by Wang Dafei, Adjutant Chen, Zhao Sandao and others, walked in the modified and reinforced trenches.  He couldn't help but sigh: "With such strong fortifications and the determination of the soldiers of the three armies to fight to the death, even if there are one hundred thousand British and American coalition forces, why should we be afraid!" After speaking, he turned to look at Wang Dafei and said: "Brother Wang, this is yours  But the credit is indispensable." Wang Dafei waved his hand modestly and said, "Thank you, General, for the strong support of General Tang Huaiyuan and the compatriots from all walks of life in Yunnan who sent us a large number of supplies in such a short period of time.  Steel, wood and other urgently needed materials for construction of fortifications also helped us dig tunnels. After all, we were able to take the initial shape of the Songshan Fortress in such a short period of time thanks to the strong help of tens of millions of compatriots and elders.  !" Cun Qi nodded in agreement, "This is a patriotic war to protect our country. The people share the same hatred with us. We will definitely win this war." The group said and discussed.  , conducting inspections throughout the position.  When they were about to return to the headquarters, a scout suddenly got into the trench and found them.  Seeing the scout's expression hurriedly and his breathing rapid, Wang Dafei quickly asked: "What's wrong? What happened? Don't be anxious, breathe slowly and speak slowly." Because the scout ran too fast, his lung capacity increased so much that he almost had no energy.  Speechless.  I was out of breath, and my face was red from holding back.  An orderly quickly took off the water bottle from his body and handed it to him. He quickly opened it and drank for a while.  After taking two more deep breaths, I finally calmed down my excitement a little.  "Brigade, Sir Wang, the British and American coalition forces have once again moved from Longling to Songshan! This time they came out in full force, not only with a large number of artillery, but also with groups of tanks." The scout finally said that he risked his life  Reconnaissance information.  "The American devils are out in full force? So their reinforcements have arrived?" Wang Dafei and Cun Qi looked at each other, and the former patted the scout on the shoulder and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you go and rest first." Reconnaissance  The soldier responded yes, turned around and took the order to leave.  Watching the scout disappear in the winding traffic trench, Wang Dafei said to Cun Qi: "General, it seems that the moment of decisive battle has arrived. We should notify the friendly forces in Gaoligong Mountain and make them prepared." "Well.  ." Cun Qi nodded in agreement.  ………… Shenyang, Northeast Border Defense Army Headquarters.  General Du Ting, the current commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, placed a telegram on the conference table and glanced at the main group and division-level generals of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force present at the meeting.  He said in a deep voice: "My colleagues, this is the personal telegram that our great Commander-in-Chief, Chairman Zhang Xinghan, the founder of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, Zhang Xinghan, just sent to us." Having said this, he paused obviously and raised his voice: "  Chairman Zhang ordered us to immediately launch a full-line offensive against the hateful Soviets and recover our vast territories such as Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island.” &nbsp"General, our Northeastern Border Guards have rested for too long. Brothers have been looking forward to this day for a long time. It's time for the old men opposite to pay the price for their crimes of invading our territory!" "That's right,  The tragedy of Jiangdong Thirty-Six Tun is as vivid as yesterday, and it’s time to pay for it with blood!” the commanders of the two group armies expressed their opinions with indignation.  Other division-level officers also chimed in.  "Very good. It seems that you are all holding back your energy. Then return to your respective jurisdictions immediately and prepare to fight!" Du Ting nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to give instructions.  "Yes!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice, and dispersed in a hurry.  …………… Cullen, the General Headquarters of the Northwest Frontier Army.  Almost at the same time that Du Ting received Zhang Xinghan's telegram, the current commander, General Gao Chu, also received an urgent secret order from Nanjing.  (To be continued.)

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 574: The war is raging

    Geographically, Gao Chu's Northwest Frontier Army has become even closer to the Soviet Army's Eastern Siberia since they regained Outer Mongolia.  . It is common for the two sides to have small-scale conflicts at the border and shoot outs.  “And Gao Chu was very foresight and knew that sooner or later there would be a battle with the Soviet army.  Therefore, almost half of the four to five million elite border guards under his command on the border of Outer Mongolia are in a state of emergency combat readiness at all times.  After he read Zhang Xinghan’s handwritten telegram, he put down the telegram and picked up the phone number from the Communications Department.  Half an hour later, his combat orders were basically issued to the divisions at the forefront of the border between Outer Mongolia and Eastern Siberia.  Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining air force stationed in Kulun took off one after another, and hundreds of tanks from an armored corps left behind by Gao Chu as a mobile corps also headed to the front line.  Within half an hour before the Air Force fighter planes arrived, several infantry division direct artillery regiments of the National Revolutionary Army's Northwest Frontier Defense Force on the border suddenly launched violent artillery attacks on the enemy in front of them.  Faced with the sudden artillery attack from the [***] squadron, the Soviet troops, who also maintained combat readiness at all times, paid a certain amount of casualties and nervously and orderly entered their established defensive positions.  However, the Soviet artillery group failed to counterattack the Chinese artillery group that was raging in front of them.  Because, a group of Chinese fighter jets suddenly burst out of the clouds in the sky, and the piercing screams that were very familiar to the Soviet soldiers who had fought with the Chinese [***] team now resounded above their heads again.  All the Soviet officers and soldiers' expressions changed drastically, because the memory of this Stuka dive bomber was too deep and too frightening for them.  Sure enough, Squadron [***] was well prepared. As soon as a dozen Stuka bombers appeared, they attacked their hidden artillery positions under the cover of a group of BF-109 fighter jets.  With a rapid wave of dive bombing, a Soviet brigade-level artillery position was blasted like a plow, turning it into a purgatory with ruins and flames.  The Soviet air force finally arrived after several of its own artillery positions were attacked one after another.  But in the face of the BF-109 (the most advanced model produced by Zhang Xinghan from the multi-function watch) fighter group, the effect was not great.  After a fierce air battle, the Chinese Air Force, although not numerically superior, severely damaged the Soviet Air Force that came for reinforcements at a slight cost.  Completely gained control of the air along the border.  At the same time, all divisions on the ground launched attacks across the board. Most of the northwest border defense forces were composed of the old units of the former Northeast Army integrated with the Shandong Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, Northwest Army and part of the Central Army.  The personnel establishment and weapons equipment are basically the same as those of the original Class A Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  There are three main infantry regiments, one each for artillery, tanks, and baggage, and one battalion each for reconnaissance, security, air defense, and communications.  Under the cover of hundreds of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, a large number of [***] soldiers, led by many grassroots officers who graduated from Longxing Military Academy, attacked across the board.  Launched the most violent attack on the Soviet army.  In comparison, Du Ting's Northeast Frontier Defense Force was slower.  After all, geographically, they do not have the convenience of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in high school.  On the bank of Heilongjiang, the heavy artillery group of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force and the Soviet army on the other side launched the most violent artillery battle in history.  A large number of fighters and bombers deployed by Du Ting from southern Manchuria and other places also flew to Jiamusi and other places.  They carried out one round of fierce air attacks on the Vladivostok area on the north bank of Heilongjiang Province, and launched a fierce air battle with the Soviet Air Force fighter planes that came to meet them.  Until the beginning of Gao Dynasty, the Northwest Frontier Force moved at lightning speed and with the cooperation of the Air Force, the ground armored troops had advanced more than 100 kilometers westward.  Du Tingcai personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to cross Heilongjiang and launched a formal and fierce attack on Vladivostok, Birobiru and other areas.  Another group of Northeastern border guards stationed on the Korean Peninsula also crossed the Soviet-North Korean border from the Rajin area, crossed Posiete Bay, and attacked the Vladivostok area from south to north. ?… ?War is raging in the northwest and northeast.  Songshan and Gaoligong Mountains, which had been peaceful for nearly half a month, are also at war again.  Eager to avenge his humiliation, Morgan brought 5,000 U.S. Army elites and a large number of British troops and their servants, about 30,000 people, to the Songshan front line again.  After a violent shelling, they launched another attack on the Songshan defenders.  The strong general of the Yunnan Army, Zhao Sandao, led his troops to resist bravely, and the defense fortifications were greatly strengthened during this period.  The soldiers also have elite paratroopers?Assisted in the command and easily defeated the fierce and tidal offensive of the British and American coalition forces.  "Ta-ta-tata-ta-ta" An American paratrooper took the lead in charging with a Thompson submachine gun.  He did very well with his tactical evasive maneuvers, and from time to time bullets hit the place where he had just been.  Some of the British, Indian and Burmese servant troops who followed him were not so lucky.  Being hit by hot and dense bullets one after another, they fell down on the hillside one after another, and some bodies rolled down directly.  In a secret bunker in [***], a sniper holding a sniper rifle modified from a Garand semi-automatic rifle said to an assistant on the side: "Interesting, this American seems to be quite capable." "Look at me.  "Hit him." The assistant also raised a sniper rifle and activated the aiming lock.  "Bang!" The deputy sniper saw the right moment and decisively pulled the trigger.  But the American paratrooper was alert and dodged the moment he pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit a rock.  A series of small sparks burst out.  "Hey, this American guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!" The deputy shooter was annoyed and smashed the bunker.  The sniper put away his contempt, but raised his sniper rifle and began to focus on aiming.  On the battlefield, the mountains and plains were filled with British and American coalition forces and their servants.  The American paratrooper leading the charge kept making various evasive maneuvers, spitting out tongues of flame from the submachine gun in his hand, which had already claimed the lives of many Yunnan soldiers.  When a light machine gun spotted him and chased him with a barrage of fire, while he was concentrating on avoiding the machine gun fire, the [***] elite paratrooper sniper immediately seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.  "Pop! Whoosh! Poof!" A hot bullet accurately hit the helmet of the American paratrooper with a high-speed rotating airflow.  He was desperately trying to avoid the machine gun fire, and his body suddenly froze. Before he could fall down, he was hit continuously by the dense bullets that chased him.  The majestic body was instantly beaten into a sieve of blood, and then fell straight backwards.  PS: This month is over.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 575: Battle of Vladivostok 1

    "Click, click, click" Under the rapid roar of Hitler's chainsaw, the dense rain of hot bullets knocked down the Allied soldiers one by one, and they fell and rolled down.  Thanks to the reinforced fortifications, the casualties of the Yunnan Army officers and soldiers were much smaller. As for the elite paratroopers, there were almost no casualties.  They know better than the soldiers of the Yunnan Army how to use the newly built and reinforced fortifications to fight.  And with their addition, the automatic firepower of the defenders has been greatly strengthened.  A series of mg42 general-purpose machine guns, which are more advanced than the mg34, plus thousands of MP38 submachine guns, build a dense firepower network.  They firmly suppressed the British and American coalition forces and their servants who were also equipped with some American weapons.  The fierce battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.  In a secret forward observation post of the US military, Colonel Morgan, holding a telescope, looked livid at the moment, and his whole body could not help but tremble.  A British colleague on the side said cautiously: "Sir, it seems that the firepower of the Chinese defenders has changed a lot. It is much stronger than before." How could Colonel Morgan not see this? He punched hard  Smashing it on the wooden support next to it, he said angrily: "Order, the attacking troops stop attacking."  Vladivostok, the Soviet Far East Military District Headquarters.  The nearly one million troops of the Chinese ** Corps successively launched active attacks on the Soviet army on a front line of thousands of kilometers from the Korean Peninsula in the north to Outer Mongolia in the west.  (Of course, if the Daxinganling area is not included, the actual fighting line is only about a few hundred kilometers.) The Soviet troops in various regions were unable to resist due to equipment levels, as well as the fact that the homeland was invaded by the Germans and the original garrison troops were transferred to the west and increased.  In less than two days, on the northwest battlefield, the Soviet army swept through more than 200 kilometers of the Chinese Northwest Frontier Force and retreated steadily.  The Heilongjiang defense line that Lao Maozi worked so hard to build was also broken through by the powerful offensive of Du Ting's Northeast Frontier Defense Force combined with land and air.  Zhukov, the current commander of the Soviet Far East Military Region, is convening a group of senior generals for an emergency meeting to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Vladivostok.  "Comrades, the situation has reached its most critical moment. On the front, the Chinese Northeast Frontier Defense Force has broken through our defense line along the river. To the north, a partial division of the Chinese ** Corps has crossed Posiete Bay and is on its way.  As a Soviet soldier, we have the obligation to defend the territory that countless ancestors have opened up with their blood and lives." Zhukov paused indignantly and said, "Therefore, I hope that everyone present will be able to do so.  Putting life and death aside, we will defend our territory to the death. We will be loyal to the great comrade SDL and the great Soviet Republic.” All the Soviet generals present stood up and took the oath.  Immediately, Zhukov mobilized all the troops he could, and a total of more than 200,000 people were assembled and deployed in Vladivostok and its surrounding areas.  It is planned to defeat the menacing Chinese army through a tenacious and fierce large-scale battle and blockade.  However, Zhukov, who does not have air superiority, also knows that achieving this strategic goal is extremely difficult, even impossible.  Because Moscow has given a clear reply that the German offensive on the western front is too fierce and it is impossible to mobilize reinforcements to support the entire Far East war situation.  The original total strength of the Soviet Far East Military Region reached its peak at over one million.  However, due to the undeclared war by the Germans, the western Soviet Union lost cities and territory one after another, resulting in heavy losses.  Moscow quickly transferred the 500,000 troops originally sent to reinforce Eastern Siberia to the west.  In such a huge Far East region, with an area of ??millions of square kilometers and a long border of nearly ten thousand miles, the Soviet army had less than half a million troops left to defend it.  And there are not enough aircraft to compete with the Chinese border guards for air supremacy.  In such a situation where it is obvious that the enemy is strong and we are weak.  Even though Zhukov tried his best to fight this battle, the reality was cruel and ruthless.  It’s just that, as a senior Soviet general who is highly valued by the supreme leader.  He could only bite the bullet and fight this battle.  Command your subordinates as much as possible to win this war.  On April 7, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, Du Ting ordered two armies to attack the Vladivostok area at the same time.  The Battle of Vladivostok began.  For those in Vladivostok and the surrounding areas, Du Ting mobilized a total of 600,000 troops, 500 tanks, thousands of artillery pieces, more than 100 fighter jets, and more than 50 bombers.  Since the air force had absolute air superiority, the Soviet artillery force was gradually weakened and annihilated.  With the cooperation of the air force and ground armored forces, the Soviet tank armorThe team also suffered heavy losses.  The war lasted only three days, and the Soviet army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, of which more than 10,000 were killed.  Such a huge casualty rate was something Zhukov did not expect.  But it was a helpless move, because there was no air superiority, which indirectly led to the tragic destruction of the ground armored troops and artillery troops.  Without the assistance of artillery and the deterrence of tank troops, in order to defend the line of defense, our infantry can only spend their lives to block Chinese tanks and machine gun bullets.  Under this situation, Zhukov seems to have been able to foresee the outcome of this war.  A little frustrated, he sent a telegram to Stalin in advance, briefly explaining the current situation in the Far East and the pressure faced by his own defenders.  …………… Jiamusi, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Du Ting has moved his command system here. At this time, the headquarters is very busy with communications troops, orderlies, order troops and combat staff coming and going.  Du Ting, accompanied by several staff officers, was discussing the war around the map.  "General, our army's offensive is rapid and violent, causing huge casualties to the Soviet army. If this progress continues, we will be able to capture Vladivostok in half a month at the latest." A staff officer pointed at the map.  Du Ting stared at the map and said: "The key is whether the Twins area can be captured before the Soviet army decides to abandon Vladivostok and escape. Only by capturing this area can the Soviet army's escape route to the west be cut off and the Soviet army in the Vladivostok area be completely surrounded and annihilated.  The main force of the army." The staff officer said: "The Soviet army obviously attaches great importance to it. The attack of the 9th Division and the 209th Division is not going well. The Soviet army has deployed heavy troops for defense there, and relying on the advantage of the terrain, in my opinion, if they want to  We need to increase the number of troops to capture the Twin Area as soon as possible. "Then we can move another division there. The attack on Vladivostok can be postponed. The Twin Area is the key to this battle. If we capture this area, we will be able to defeat the Soviet army."  In other words, it has fallen into a strategic dead end," Du Ting said.  PS: This is the only update for today, four more updates will be made tomorrow!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 576: Battle of Vladivostok Part Two

    Shuangchengzi, its name comes from the Shuangcheng Guards of the Ming Dynasty.  It is named after the coexistence of the east and west cities. The east city is called "Fuerdan" and the west city is called "Jurgen", which is about four miles apart.  Shuangchengzi is an early city developed in Northeast China. In the mid-9th century, Shuangchengzi was an important town in the Bohai Kingdom, and Yulou Mohe lived here for generations.  Shuangchengzi is located in the middle of the Ussuri River and is a hub connecting the two strategic locations of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok. After the Russians got rid of Mongolian rule, they expanded to Siberia in the mid-17th century. At that time, China's territory included the outer Xing'an Mountains.  East to Sakhalin Island.  But the Qing Dynasty later signed the so-called Treaty of Nerchinsk and the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing with the Russians, and the Shuangchengzi became Russian territory.  From here to Vladivostok, the original Chinese aborigines were massacred by the Russians in the following days.  The Russians brought a large number of immigrants from their own country and occupied these areas for a long time.  Due to the special geographical location of Shuangchengzi, it is an important hub for Zhukov to guard the Vladivostok Corps and connect the Khabarovsk area, so Zhukov deployed four divisions and more than 50,000 troops here.  “Moreover, as the offensive of the Northeastern Border Guards became more and more fierce, another division was ordered to come by car from the direction of Khabarovsk for reinforcements.  At this point, the total strength of the Soviet army in Shuangchengzi has exceeded 60,000.  As the attacker, the two mechanized divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force have a total strength of about 30,000, which puts them at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.  Although their equipment was advanced, the Soviet army's superiority in strength made up for this gap, and the battle between the two sides became intense.  The former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  The person responsible for commanding the battle is Lieutenant General Ge Quanwu, the current commander of the 9th Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Ge Quanwu was originally the first regiment commander of the Ninth Reorganized Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. After the division commander Du Ting was promoted to the commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  Ge Quanwu took over his position and became the commander of the reorganized 9th Division.  This division commander is different from other divisions.  Because the ten early reorganized divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force are the most elite ace divisions among the millions of Chinese troops today.  It is also the army that Zhang Xinghan started from. Many people came out of this army, which gave rise to the current millions of Northeastern troops.  Therefore, the division commander of this division is on the same level as an ordinary corps.  “Moreover, Ge Quanwu also serves as the commander of the Ninth Group Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force.  In the headquarters.  Ge Quanwu was listening to the reports of his subordinates with a frown on his face.  Ge Quanwu, who commanded two divisions, failed to capture Shuangchengzi as promised, which made Ge Quanwu feel very depressed and lost face with the old chief Du Ting.  So, his face is dark at the moment.  "Division, the chief has called. He has ordered the 309th Division to set off immediately and rush to our aid. He ordered us to capture Shuangcheng before dark tomorrow. It's too late to cut off Susi's escape. The enemy is very close  Maybe abandon Vladivostok and escape," a communications staff officer said as he came to Ge Quanwu's side.  Ge Quanwu said: "I understand, call back to Chief Du, we will complete the task on time!" After saying that, Ge Quanwu said to the several division commanders present: "Everyone, you have heard the instructions from the summit, go back immediately  Organize your troops and launch the most violent attack on the enemy. Our Northeastern Army is an invincible and elite ace force. This golden sign must not be smashed in our hands. Go back and tell your subordinate officers that if you cannot complete the mission on time.  The commander's order. All the officers above the level of each division and regiment should be sent to the Military Law Office. I'll do this to myself. I don't have the dignity to be the division commander anymore!" Ge Quanwu said this for his own sake.  What else could everyone say, they all stood up and loudly said in unison: "Yes, I will bear this in mind and will complete the mission to the death!" An hour later.  Two divisions of more than 30,000 Northeastern Army soldiers, under the cover of the air force and artillery, led by tanks.  Once again launched a full-line attack on the Soviet army.  The Soviet army resisted to the death, and the fierce fighting was extremely fierce. Both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties.  Five hours later, more than 10,000 soldiers of the 309th Division galloped 100 kilometers and arrived in time.  Quickly took over the 109th Division and the 9th Division, which suffered heavy casualties, and continued the attack.  With the addition of the new force of the 309th Division, the fierce offensive of the Northeast Border Defense Force continues unabated.  The Soviet army gradually became unable to resist. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the first regiment of the 9th Reorganized Division took the lead in breaking through the Soviet position.  The Soviet army immediately mobilized a large number of troops to counterattack, trying to block the gap.  More than 300 soldiers of the first regiment relied on powerful automatic firepower to engage in a desperate and bloody battle with the enemy.  &nbsp; "Da da da" A large number of Soviet troops launched a counterattack against the Chinese troops occupying their trenches without fear of death.  Under the firepower of the Japanese soldiers, they fell in pieces one after another.  After suffering heavy casualties, they finally rushed into the trench. A lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the Northeast Border Guard threw away his empty gun.  He pulled out a big iron sword from the back of a fallen subordinate and roared: "Brothers, fix your bayonets and fight with these stupid Russians!" "Fuck you! Fight!" The barrel of the gun has been emptied.  The soldiers who had ammunition in them had no time to reload, so they drew out their bayonets and loaded them quickly, holding their rifles and getting entangled with the oncoming Soviet troops.  The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander wielded a machete with such force that he knocked over four old soldiers who were charging towards him.  But before he could take a breath, more Soviet soldiers rushed towards him, shouting and fearless.  He ducked sideways to avoid the two thrusting rifles, and suddenly slashed out with the iron sword in his hand, knocking the two Soviet soldiers to the ground.  A powerful big foot suddenly lifted up and stepped on it. Suddenly one of them had his Adam's apple crushed, and blood poured out of his mouth. The young-looking Soviet soldier tilted his head and died.  He looked around the battlefield with a broadsword and saw his own soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy. Old men were being killed one after another, but the enemy was outnumbered.  Many brave soldiers of our own side were unfortunately stabbed by many bayonets at the same time after killing one or two enemies, leaving them miserable on the battlefield.  He couldn’t help but feel filled with grief and anger. He roared and charged into the crowd of Lao Maozi brandishing his sword.  “Bang bang bang” the bayonets of many Soviet soldiers were struck by his broadsword.  Although Lao Maozi was outnumbered, he was still defeated by him. There were always people whose hands were not as strong as his, and his weapons were knocked away by him with a big knife. The middle door was opened wide, and he was killed with a knife.  Like a god of murder, he harvested the lives of Russian soldiers wantonly, and soon he was covered in blood.  The Russian soldiers could not stop him, and more than 300 equally brave subordinates followed him to fight to the death. The Soviet army, which had an absolute advantage for a while, fell into a disadvantage.  However, as the war progressed, the casualties of the Japanese soldiers became more and more serious, and the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander was also injured due to his gradual physical exhaustion.  The Soviet army gradually gained the upper hand, and the casualty exchange ratio between the two sides gradually became equal.  But at this moment, a follow-up force from the Northeast Border Defense Army also arrived.  Once hundreds of brave new troops joined in, they suffered huge casualties. The Soviet army, which had finally gained the upper hand, suddenly fell into a disadvantage again.  These brave Chinese veterans were like nothing they had ever seen before. They were like hungry wolves among the sheep. They were extremely bloodthirsty and cruel, and their combat effectiveness was astonishing.  After a bloody battle, Lao Maozi once again lost to the Chinese army in hand-to-hand combat, leaving hundreds of corpses behind. He ignored the machine gun fire of his own team and fled in a hurry in the direction from which he came.  "However, the Soviet army's supervising team was indeed ruthless. They showed no mercy to these own soldiers who had escaped, and the heavy machine guns suddenly roared.  The Soviet troops who were attacked from both sides quickly fell.  The Chinese ** team did not hesitate at all. Several No. 4 tanks followed from behind and easily killed the Soviet heavy machine gun position with two shots.  Thousands of soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army suddenly shouted for kill in unison and swarmed toward the rear of the Soviet position like a tide.  One place was broken through by the Chinese ** troops, and the Soviet army's outer defense line soon collapsed.  Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Northeast Border Guard launched a fierce pursuit.  Several Stuka dive bombers and BF109 fighter jets that had just arrived and planned to provide air support flew towards the Soviet city defenses.  Relying on their unique air superiority, they launched fierce dives, strafing and bombing attacks on the Soviet machine gunners on top of the city who attempted to fire on the pursuing Chinese infantry.  "Click, click, clickboom, bang, bang" Explosions and airborne machine gun fire alternated.  The dense and violent rain of bullets sent dust and smoke everywhere from the Soviet fortifications, and the explosion easily destroyed those sandbag fortifications.  Countless Soviet soldiers screamed and were blown away, falling under the city.  There were also people who were directly beaten into pieces of bloody corpses by extremely powerful directional machine guns.  The defeated Soviet army under the city was almost chased to the city by the Northeastern Border Guards.  However, because the city was suppressed by the firepower of the Chinese Air Force, it was unable to provide fire cover to block the pursuing Chinese troops.  The commander of Lao Maozi was not willing to let his defeated troops enter the city, but ordered them to hold on where they were.?And launched a counterattack against the Chinese army and defeated them.  In the chaotic battlefield, Lao Maozi, who was unable to advance or retreat, relied on one or two traffic trenches to tenaciously and desperately block the Chinese troops who were chasing after them like a tide.  However, the Chinese tanks and chariots that roared across the trenches became a nightmare above their heads.  No matter how fast they poured out their firepower, they would only burst out a series of sparks, unable to stop their advance.  Some rocket soldiers and grenadiers of the Northeast Border Guard who followed the army also took the opportunity to open fire.  Especially the small grenades fired from grenades, the deflected shells almost accurately landed on the heads of the Soviet troops.  It caused them great casualties.  The battle lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the stubborn Soviet troops outside the city were basically wiped out.  The Soviet troops on top of the city also suffered heavy casualties due to continuous air raids, bombings and strafing by the Chinese Air Force.  Fortunately, as night fell, the Chinese Air Force fighter planes were forced to end the air raid and return.  (To be continued)

    In the headquarters, after listening to the report of the communications troops, Ge Quanwu said fiercely: "Well done, tell the frontline troops to take turns to attack. Try to capture Shuangchengzi before dawn. It is best to force the enemy to surrender!" "Yes."  The communications staff officer agreed with a bang, then turned around and took the order.  On the battlefield of Vladivostok, while Ge Quanwu led three divisions to storm Shuangchengzi, Du Ting also commanded hundreds of thousands of front-line troops to launch a full-line fierce attack on the Soviet positions.  After a day of fierce fighting, the entire Vladivostok flowed with blood, and both the offensive and defensive sides suffered huge casualties.  However, Du Ting gritted his teeth and wanted to capture Vladivostok, eat the more than 200,000 Soviet troops, and completely regain this fallen territory.  So even though all the troops suffered heavy casualties, he did not relent at all, nor did he stop attacking.  Because he knows that now is the time when both sides are competing for exhaustion. Whoever fails to hold on first will lose the battle.  Relatively speaking, the Northeast Frontier Defense Force has an absolute advantage. It not only controls the air, but also relies on support from the rear.  In comparison, the Soviet army has fallen into a situation where it is divided and surrounded by the Northeast Border Guards and has no backup.  Therefore, Du Ting understood that if he persisted, Lao Maozi would be the first to collapse.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????:  A colonel officer was lecturing: "Brothers, think about the massacre at Thirty-six Tun in Jiangdong, and think about the brothers and comrades who were killed by Lao Maozi's bullets just now. We and Lao Maozi will fight to the death. I am invincible. There are enemies.  No self! Today’s battle is a sacred battle to regain territory, and it is also a battle for revenge. If we don’t win Vladivostok, how can we face the elders of the Northeast? Now, rush forward and destroy our enemies.  The might of our Chinese military!" As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of commandos who had been preparing for a long time rushed forward.  More than a dozen Panzer IV tanks also rumbled into action, covering the commandos as they launched an attack on a Soviet position.  The tank guns fired from time to time.  There were constant explosions from the Soviet position, and thick smoke and flames rose from the ground, which was extremely dazzling.  When the commandos and tanks charged to a distance of about 400 meters, the sound of heavy machine guns suddenly rang out on the silent Soviet position.  The commandos of the Northeast Border Guard Army, who are highly experienced in combat, hid behind the tanks one after another.  The Soviet army's strafing all hit the tanks, bursting out a series of sparks.  However, the Soviet heavy machine guns did not roar for long, and a dozen 75mm tank guns quickly silenced them all.  The advance of the commandos was not affected at all.  When they advanced to about 200 meters, the Soviet army's firepower became intensive.  But the machine gunners and grenadiers of the Japanese Army also opened fire at this moment.  Dense bullets were flying back and forth, and people were constantly being shot and killed among the marching commandos and the Soviet troops defending the fortification trenches.  However, at this time, the Soviet army lacked effective anti-tank weapons and could not stop the infantry-tank coordinated attack of the Chinese Army.  In the end, he even had to jump out of the trench.  Launch a counterattack against the Chinese Army.  It was even subjected to fierce firepower from the commandos, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.  The commandos took advantage of the situation to capture this Soviet battlefield and further expanded the breakthrough along the Soviet communication trenches.  The entire Vladivostok became a noisy battlefield, with gunshots, cannons and explosions everywhere.  There are Chinese Air Force fighter planes constantly circling in the sky.  Dive bombing and strafing.  ……… On the northwest battlefield, Gao Chu’s troops finally advanced to about 200 kilometers.  When attacking the Ulan-Ude area, they encountered a strong resistance from the Soviet army.  A large number of Soviet troops gathered here, and they wanted to prevent the Chinese troops from capturing the area along the railway line of Lake Baiga.  Therefore, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides here.  …………Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan’s office.  "Committee, Gao Chu and Du Ting both called one after another. The northwest border defense forces are almost reaching Ulan-Ude. The northeastern border defense forces have also divided and surrounded the Soviet troops in Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi and other places. It won't take long for them to be captured.  Victory, the above-mentioned areas have been successfully recovered," Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan with a happy face.  "With the strength of our two major border defense forces, it is not a problem to deal with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Soviet Far East Military Region. The key is whether the Soviet army has reinforcements. If they have reinforcements coming, then notify Gao Chu and Du Ting  Suspend the offensive. We are not in a hurry. We only need to disperse the Soviet troops as much as possible and cause them trouble.To put huge pressure on them, just support the German army.  As long as the German and Soviet armies fight to the death, it will not be a problem for us to regain the entire Siberia.  " Zhang Xinghan instructed. Jiang Baili nodded and said: "I will ask the communication room to generate electricity for them immediately.  " "To the southwest, how is the war going?  "Zhang Xinghan asked. "Two airborne regiments have joined to assist in the defense. The two major lines of defense of the Yunnan Army are very stable. They are currently in a tug of war with the Americans.  Reinforcements from the Central Army and the Sichuan Army have also arrived in Kunming and are advancing towards the Nujiang front line.  "Jiang Baili replied. "Well, we have to remind Guangxi to pay attention to the Vietnam border. The Americans can use Myanmar to attack, and it is also possible to attack from Vietnam.  "Zhang Xinghan said. "In Guangxi, Gu Zhutong has led an army of 150,000 troops and has garrisoned Fangcheng, Beihai and other places. It is expected that nothing will happen.  "Jiang Baili said. "That's good, but you can't be careless. If you don't fear ten thousand, just be afraid.  Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and said: "The news came from Xinghua yesterday that the new air force training is on track and will be ready for actual combat within three months at the latest. This is good news for us."  "    "Yeah?  Three months, that's too fast. The Americans will definitely not be able to develop new fighter jets in three months. We will continue to control the sea and air in the Pacific.  "Jiang Baili said quite proudly. "It's not necessarily true that the Yankees' industrial and military systems and technological level are not comparable to those of the Japanese and the Soviets.  If they go to full power, it is not impossible to develop an advanced fighter jet that can compete with our current fighters in a few months.  "Zhang Xinghan said meaningfully. "Even if they develop a new fighter plane, we already have more advanced fighters, don't we?  "Jiang Baili talked eloquently. "That is, only with the new air force can we ensure that we are invincible.  Especially helicopters, which will be the most advantageous Army Air Force unit in our fight with the Germans for the right to speak on the Eurasian continent in the future.  "As a time traveler, Zhang Xinghan no one knows how powerful the helicopter force is against ground armored forces. It is definitely their natural nemesis. The German armored force is unparalleled in the world, spanning the European continent, especially after the annexation of the Soviet Union and Europe  , their strength and scale will expand to an unprecedented level. Zhang Xinghan must win by surprise and prepare for the Chinese army in advance A secret military airport in northern Vietnam is guarded by a large group of French soldiers.  A team of U.S. Air Force is preparing for the expedition: "Everyone, we are about to carry out an extremely difficult combat mission.  “This mission was personally assigned by President Roosevelt, and whether we succeed or fail, we are heroes of the United States of America.  Next, please leave your suicide note or relics.  "A US military officer wearing sunglasses said coldly and ruthlessly. The American pilots who were about to go on the expedition looked more or less desolate, but they still left their last words and belongings as instructed. Finally, under the leadership of their respective captains,  After boarding the plane, more than 20 bombers and fighter jets stationed at the airport took off one after another, flying towards China in the north. At the same time, there were also 30 bombers and fighter jets stationed at the Luzon Island in the Philippines.  Several fighter jets and bombers took off, crossed the Taiwan Strait, and flew towards the mainland of China. However, the more than 20 escorting fighter jets only escorted them to the coastal areas of China and were forced to return.  Along the way, many B-17 Flying Fortress bombers flew alone. Along the way, the US military pilots were extremely careful, flying at an altitude close to the maximum altitude limit, and successfully avoided Chinese aircraft flying over Taiwan and the South China Sea.  As for the Guangxi and Guangdong areas, the Chinese Air Force is relatively weak. The US air raid force from Vietnam also entered the border area between Jiangxi and Fujian very smoothly. The Air Force from Luzon Island also entered at this time.  After entering the coastal airspace of Zhejiang, the two air forces secretly flew towards Nanjing, the capital of China. More than an hour later, they flew through the airspace in the Shanghai and Hangzhou areas and continued to fly towards Nanjing. Because there was no radar, the Americans had no choice.  They lowered their flight altitude to confirm that they were not flying in the wrong direction. However, they were unlucky. The air force taking off from the South Road, that is, Luzon Island, lowered its flight altitude when it just flew into the airspace around Kunshan, and happened to be intercepted by several patrol aircraft of this generation.  bf109 fighter planeAppear.  The high-altitude dogfight performance of the bf109 fighter is even better than that of the zero fighter, not to mention the US military b-17 bomber without fighter escort.  And, the most terrible thing is that the US bombers can return with sufficient fuel for this bombing.  Some of the onboard machine guns were removed to increase the carrying capacity of aviation gasoline.  “As a result, the US bombers, which were not opponents of advanced fighters such as the BF109, have become living targets in the air.  Being shot down one by one, several BF109 fighter planes went on a killing spree like tigers among wolves.  At the same time, the pilots also promptly reported the urgent news of the discovery of the enemy bomber group to the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou headquarters.  Fighters at Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Shanghai airports immediately took off and cruised over Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou to search for other US military aircraft.  Especially in the Nanjing area, all air forces have been mobilized and ground air defense forces have also entered a state of emergency.  (To be continued)

    Nanjing, Military Commission.  Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and other important officials were escorted by the officers and soldiers of Guo Zhong's security regiment from the Secrecy Bureau and left quickly.  Take a bus to the air defense location.  After arriving at the air defense site without any danger, Zhang Xinghan remembered that in history, after the Americans suffered heavy losses at Pearl Harbor, they organized and planned a plan to attack the Japanese capital Tokyo in order to boost military morale.  He immediately said to Jiang Baili: "Baili, the purpose of this air strike by the Americans is to retaliate against the bombing of our country's capital, so as to inspire military morale and gain the trust and support of the people at home. We must not let them succeed, and immediately order Beijing to  The air force garrison units in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area must wipe out the incoming enemy aircraft and prevent them from escaping even a single plane. This will severely damage the morale of the Americans and their willpower to fight with our army. " "Yes!  "Jiang Baili nodded in agreement, turned around and went to give the order himself.  ……… After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s strict order, hundreds of fighter jets stationed in the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou areas all took off.  The U.S. bomber group flying from Luzon Island consisted of nearly twenty bombers, and not even a shadow of Nanjing was seen.  Like a lamb being beaten by a pack of wolves, the whole army was wiped out without even a single bone left.  They all turned into brilliant fireworks that filled the sky and scattered across the land of China.  "The US bomber group that quietly set off from Vietnam was unfortunately discovered by a Chinese fighter jet group that was ordered to patrol when it entered the Nanhu area.  After a melee, the entire army was annihilated.  Lost fighter escort.  These speeds are not as fast as the BF109 fighter jets, and their firepower is not as good as its US bomber counterparts.  They all became living targets.  After the hasty encounter, they were shot down one by one without even a chance to escape.  "Committee, it's settled. A total of more than 30 US bombers were shot down. Our fighter jets launched all firepower. All US bombers were hit and killed in the air. No US pilots were spared!" Jiang Baili put down the phone and turned to report to Zhang Xinghan.  road.  Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard the words: "Very good. I want to see how Roosevelt will respond this time. He dares to air attack our capital of China. I am really impatient."  At the same time, the US Pacific Fleet Command in Hawaii  .  Nimitz's adjutant looked solemnly and took a telegram he had just received. He walked up to him and said: "Your Excellency, General, there are calls from the airports in Vietnam and the Philippines. The two bomber detachments we sent out are close to Nanjing, the capital of China.  They were discovered by the enemy in an area of ??200 to 300 kilometers and were besieged by a fighter group that was several times larger than ours. All thirty-two B-17 Flying Fortress bombers were destroyed. "Niger was smoking.  Miz stood up suddenly, and the cigar in his mouth quietly fell to the ground.  "What, the entire army was wiped out? How could this happen?" Nimitz looked horrified.  Totally in disbelief.  He asked without giving up: "Did they carry out an air raid on Nanjing? Even if a bomb fell on Nanjing city." The adjutant shook his head and said: "No, when they were attacked, even the shadow of Nanjing city was gone.  Before they even saw it, they were shot down one after another." Nimitz sat down with a pale face, and said somewhat at a loss: "Here. Send a message to President Roosevelt to report the failure of this operation"  At night.  Shuangcheng sub-urban area.  ??The fighting here has not stopped at all because of the generals in the night.  Relying on the full assistance of tanks and heavy artillery units, the Chinese ** team destroyed part of the city walls in the east and west districts of Shuangchengzi.  A large number of Chinese infantrymen broke out from the collapsed gaps and invaded the east and west urban areas that had been divided and surrounded by them.  Because the Soviet army launched a fierce battle for the city.  At the same time, we launched a psychological offensive against the Soviet army and used the captured Soviet troops to recruit surrender.  The situation in Vladivostok is similar.  Zhukov could clearly hear the fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the ground even while hiding in the underground bunker.  "Your Excellency, Commander, Shuangchengzi called again with an emergency call. If there are no reinforcements, they will not be able to sustain until tomorrow. Because the firepower of the squadron is too strong, they are equipped with a large number of rocket launchers and an astonishing number of automatic weapons. Ours  The resistance troops suffered heavy losses in the street fighting and suffered heavy casualties," Zhukov's staff adjutant reported to him with a message.  After he finished speaking, he noticed that Zhukov’s brows were frowning even deeper, so he persuaded him: “General, please tell me.Nothing can be lost, we might as well break out at night.  " "The situation in Vladivostok has now deteriorated to the point where there is nothing to add to it, and we must not delay it any longer.  “Otherwise, as soon as it gets dark, the Chinese air force will be able to attack again, and it will be too late to evacuate by then.  How could Zhukov not know what the adjutant said, but if he gave up Vladivostok, he would become a sinner of the Soviet Union. Moreover, Zhukov was worried that the leaders in Moscow, who were struggling because of the German offensive, would blame him.  He used him as a scapegoat to explain to the people at home and to scare the monkeys. Just when Zhukov was hesitant, another Soviet adjutant hurriedly walked in and saluted him: "General, there is an urgent call from Moscow.  " Zhukov waved his hand and ordered without thinking: "Read it!  " "The Supreme Command ordered us to abandon Vladivostok immediately and withdraw our troops to the north bank of the Ussuri River as much as possible to continue resisting.  "The adjutant read quickly. Zhukov's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. The adjutant from before said: "General, this opportunity cannot be missed. Let's order the troops to evacuate as soon as possible.  :" "Well, pass on the order, each unit will retreat in turn, cover alternately, and the Red 39th Division will take the rear.  "Zhukov immediately nodded in agreement. "" Jiamusi, the headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. "General, Lao Maozi has withdrawn.  "A staff officer hurried to Du Ting's side and reported. "Withdrawn?  " Du Ting was taken aback and immediately ordered: "Order all the troops immediately.  Chase me immediately. Don't let me evacuate easily.     at the same time.  Send electricity to Ge Quanwu and ask him to end the battle within five hours, and then defend Shuangchengzi to the death and never let any Soviet troops pass.  " After saying that, Du Ting said excitedly: "Old Maozi is seeking death. If they continue to hold on, hundreds of thousands of people will huddle together, and our army will not be able to eliminate them in a short time.  Take Vladivostok.  Now that they have evacuated on their own initiative and arrived in the wild, hum, they can just use the power of our mechanized troops to their full potential!  The staff officer responded, turned around and left.  …………… In the eastern part of the west city of Shuangchengzi, a group of police officers were advancing along the street.  In front of them, there were barricades built by the Soviet army everywhere.  The buildings on the left and right are also riddled with bullets and in pieces.  "Bang bang bang." Sparse gunshots came from the front.  Behind several barricades, you can clearly see Soviet soldiers firing at them tenaciously from time to time.  However, the bullets were blocked by a No. 4 tank in front of them. The heavy armor of the No. 4 tank did not even leave any trace except for some small sparks.  ??A ** marksman.  Following the tank, he raised the rifle in his hand, took aim at a Soviet soldier, and suddenly pulled the trigger.  "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the Soviet soldier who only exposed his head and shot was shot on the spot.  The bullet penetrated his helmet and entered his brain.  His brain tissue was immediately turned into a mess.  He completely fell down and never raised his head to shoot again.  The tank gun of the No. 4 tank did not fire, but poured shells onto the heads of the Soviet troops.  At this moment, several Soviet soldiers suddenly appeared on the roof of a building on the right side of the street. They controlled a light machine gun and fired at the advancing army from a high position.  Several Northeast Border Guard soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground.  However, Lao Maozi’s light machine gun failed to show off its arrogance for much, as a hot and powerful rocket hit the roof of the building where they were hiding.  "Boom!" A violent explosion blew up a large section of the floor into pieces and flew down.  On the spot, two Soviet machine gunners screamed and fell from the roof.  The other two people fell inside because the roof collapsed and also died.  After suffering this attack, the officers and soldiers had to be much more cautious. In addition to continuing to follow up behind the tanks, some submachine gunners raised their heads vigilantly from time to time to observe the seemingly empty buildings on both sides of the guarded street.  In Ge Quanwu’s headquarters.  After receiving Du Ting's strict order, Ge Quanwu immediately issued a death order to the regiment-level commanders of the three divisions, requiring them to capture Shuangchengzi at all costs within four hours.  Cut off the Soviet army's escape route.  At the same time, Du Ting and his staff lieutenants were also focusing on the map to make the next battle plan.  A staff adjutant pointed at the map and said: "The main seat, the seaIf the main force of the Soviet army wanted to escape, it was impossible not to notify the defenders of Shuangchengzi and ask them to hold on.  In this way, the difficulty of our army's attack will also be greatly increased.  " Du Ting nodded, but another staff adjutant said: "What worries us most is not this, but whether the Soviet army in Khabarovsk will also receive orders to reinforce Shuangchengzi District in order to facilitate the response to Vladivostok.  The main force of the Soviet army successfully passed through the interception of our army.  Evacuated successfully.  " The adjutant's words attracted Du Ting's attention. He stared at the map solemnly and said: "This is really possible.  " After pondering for a while, he immediately said: "Immediately send power to Ge Quanwu and ask him to deploy one or two battalions no matter what, bypass Shuangchengzi, Xicheng, and build defenses along the railway leading to Khabarovsk to block Khabarovsk.  Soviet reinforcements may arrive in the city.  The task of this blocking force is not to annihilate the enemy, but to block the Soviet reinforcements coming from this direction no matter what the cost.  They must not be allowed to pass before dawn, let alone join the Soviet defenders in Shuangchengzi!  " "Chief Commander, Ge Quanwu only has three divisions in his hands. The troops are already insufficient. He has to capture Shuangcheng within five hours and block the enemy's reinforcements. Can he do it?  "The adjutant staff officer said with some worry. "I believe Master Ge, he will definitely be able to do it. I remember that in the Battle of Xinmin, his regiment blocked the counterattack of tens of thousands of Japanese troops.  It bought time for our army to annihilate more than 100,000 Japanese troops. Now our army's combat effectiveness is not what it used to be.  It is not a problem to mobilize one or two battalions.  If there are not enough troops, let Ge Quanwu control his guard camp.  The cooking team was assigned to me.  This battle is related to whether the main Soviet army of more than 100 to 200 thousand in the Vladivostok area can be completely annihilated.  He has to find a way for me to complete it no matter what.  "Du Ting said.  Boli City is located on the east bank of the confluence of the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River. It has been China's territory since ancient times and is an important border defense military town. The Tang Dynasty established Boli Prefecture here, and Liao was the headquarters of the Five Kingdoms.  One of the headquarters of the Qali tribe was under the jurisdiction of Huli Chang Road in the Jin Dynasty, and under the jurisdiction of Shuidada Road in the Yuan Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing (general manager).  , was later placed under the jurisdiction of the three-surname deputy capital. In 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), the Russian invading army occupied Khabarovsk, established a military outpost, and named Khabarov (the explorer Yeluo in 1649) as the leader of the Russian invasion of Heilongjiang in the 17th century.  In 1860 (the tenth year of Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty), Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the unequal "Beijing Treaty between China and Russia".  The vast area east of the Ussuri River and the sea was occupied by Tsarist Russia. In 1893, it was renamed "Khabarovsk". Khabarov is now an important transportation hub and river port city in the Far East.  Fusk is known as a large industrial center. It is also an important center of science and culture in Khabarovsk in recent years. In later generations, Khabarovsk was the central city of the entire Russian Far East, the seat of the highest administrative agency and the capital of the Russian Far East.  Such an important territory as the political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub of the Far East was ceded to the Russians by the cowardly and incompetent Manchu government. Now, the Chinese Northeast Frontier Defense Force launched the Battle of Vladivostok.  Countless Russians fled here with their families. However, at this time, a Soviet army took advantage of the situation.  It was dark. He hurried out of the city and headed towards Shuangchengzi. As such an important area, Zhukov had stationed 50,000 troops here just in case.  In order to reinforce the Shuangchengzi area, Zhukov ordered the city defense commander of Khabarovsk to dispatch four elite infantry regiments to immediately set out to reinforce the Shuangchengzi area and secure the Vladivostok area.  The Soviet army's retreat was smooth. Under the dark night, the temperature in the Vladivostok area in April was still very cold. Ge Quanwu, wrapped in a military coat, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his subordinates who were digging fortifications. I didn't expect that.  When he became the commander-in-chief of the group army, there would be a day when he would personally lead troops into battle due to lack of troops. It turned out that when he received Du Ting's emergency military order, Ge Quanwu had just put all his reserve troops in and was in the east and west urban areas.  The most critical and exciting part of the Soviet military expansion?’s battle.  It is really impossible to draw out the troops.  However, in order to block the troops that may come from the Khabarovsk area.  With a wave of his hand, Ge Quanwu, a commander with a former soldier background, moved his headquarters company, guard battalion, communications battalion, and cooking squad to a railway bridge ten kilometers north of Shuangchengzi.  Excavate and build fortifications along both sides of the railway at the southern end of the railway bridge.  In order to command the troops, the radio stations were carried by the correspondents and set up in the woods on the side of the railway.  In order to make up for the lack of troops, the cooking squad, redundant communications troops, and guards all devoted themselves to the work of digging positions.  The guard battalion commander and personal attendant adjutant who followed Ge Quanwu and protected him were worried and said: "General, why don't you take the correspondent and evacuate two kilometers away, and this place will be under the humble command." Ge Quanwu immediately refused.  Said: "What do you know? This time Lao Maozi's main force of hundreds of thousands is behind us. In order to support their retreat, the number of Russian troops coming from the direction of Khabarovsk will definitely not be small. If I didn't take charge here, you and your subordinates would  It's hard for us to resist them." The adjutant said with an embarrassed look: "But, Commander-in-Chief, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If something goes wrong with you, who will be in charge of the troops?" Ge Quanwu smoked:  "It is precisely because of this that the thousands of people we have will fight to the death and never retreat." "If we can't win this battle, the teacher will probably kill me when we get back, so we don't choose me in this battle!"  Ge Quanwu's face turned serious and he said.  "Okay, get a shovel and go help repair the fortifications. Don't follow me here. I'm not here yet. I don't need your protection." Ge Quanwu instructed.  "Yes." The guard battalion commander had no choice but to stand up and salute, responded, turned and left.  With the rapid repair work of more than a thousand officers and soldiers, a simple fortification was built before the arrival of Soviet reinforcements.  Ge Quanwu was smoking a cigarette and leaning in a trench, not knowing what he was thinking.  Suddenly, gunfire rang out from the other end of the bridge.  The adjutant battalion commander hurriedly said to Ge Quanwu: "The main seat, it's the gun from the security sentry. The leading soldiers of the Soviet army must have arrived." Ge Quanwu threw away the half of the cigarette in his hand and immediately stood up with a loud voice: "Brothers  , get ready to fight, bring the old man closer to me later, beat them hard, and blind them first, to delay as much time as possible!" The officers and soldiers were alert and prepared for battle.  Not long after, several soldiers on guard ran back quickly with guns in hand.  One of them went to Ge Quanwuhui and reported: "Maintain, Lao Maozi is here, there are thousands of people, and there are two armored trains!" "What? There are armored trains? Wasn't the railway already blown up by our air force fighter planes during the day?  "How did they come here?" Ge Quanwu said in surprise, this armored train is a powerful weapon on the railway, and its artillery caliber is enough to kill a No. 4 tank with one shot.  "I don't know, maybe they brought engineers to repair it." The guard soldier said.  PS: It’s a big chapter of 5,000 words. Due to time constraints, the two chapters have been published in one.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 579: Total Annihilation of the Enemy Army (Part 1)

    The situation was urgent. Ge Quanwu didn't think much and immediately shouted: "Adjutant Zhao, bring a platoon and blasters and rush over with me. We must kill the enemy's armored train no matter what!" "Yes!" the adjutant and battalion commander responded loudly.  , called up a platoon and rushed out with Ge Quanwu.  Under the dark night, dozens of guards and several blasters followed Ge Quanwu along the railway bridge and reached the other side as quickly as possible.  At this time, the lights and rumble of the train came from the distance.  Ge Quanwu immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quick, plant explosives right here, bury all the explosives inside, and kill the enemy's armored train!" "But at the main station, it seems that the enemy's armored train will arrive soon.  , I’m afraid there’s not enough time!  "The adjutant battalion commander said anxiously. Ge Quanwu took an mg34 general-purpose machine gun from a soldier and said to them: "Brothers, come up with me and stop Lao Maozi's train to buy time for the demolition team, get on!  " Dozens of elite guards suddenly gathered in Jingjing and followed Ge Quanwu with guns in hand and rushed forward. Not far after they rushed, they found horizontal ditches on both sides of the railway, which should have been left during construction or repair of the railway. In addition,  , there were also some craters left by aircraft bombings. Ge Quanwu and dozens of his subordinates spontaneously jumped into the craters and trenches, each raising their weapons and waiting for the arrival of the Soviet army. Amidst the harsh roar, a locomotive pushed.  Two trains of armored vehicles came slowly, followed by groups of Soviet infantry. Ge Quanwu was so blinded by the lights on the train that he immediately turned around and shouted: "Grenadiers and rocket soldiers, get ready.  The enemy entered a range of two hundred meters, and the grenadiers opened fire.  The enemy enters a hundred meters range and the rocket launcher is launched.  The bombardier threw out all the grenades immediately, first forcing Lao Maozi's armored train to stop.  "The orders were passed to the ears of all the soldiers one by one. They involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands, and their young faces were full of determination and determination. "After four or five minutes of suffocating waiting, the Soviet armored train roared.  Once within two hundred meters, the lights were even more dazzling, but the grenadiers hid further away on the sides of the railway, which reduced the light exposure and could barely lock on to the target.  The grenade was loaded and the firing device was pulled. "Boom" There were two muffled sounds, and two small-caliber grenades crashed towards the advancing Soviet armored train with a whistling sound. "Boom!"  "The two violent explosions produced a large group of dazzling flames. The speeding Soviet armored train and the Soviet infantry following behind stopped one after another. The piercing and long-sounding emergency brake sound resounded through the night sky after the explosion.  The friction between the rails caused dazzling sparks, and when the car came to a complete stop, it was already less than a hundred meters away from where Ge Quanwu and the others were hiding. Two rocket soldiers carrying bazookas immediately launched.  , two rocket armor-piercing projectiles with enough penetrating power to penetrate 130mm slammed into the front of the armored train. The armored train was not even as thick as the No. 4 tank and was suddenly penetrated by the hot rockets.  Inside the carriage, several Soviet gunners and machine gunners from the four doors screamed and were swallowed up by the flames. The strength of the armored trains did not lie in their defensive capabilities, but in the powerful carrying maneuverability of the railways.  The caliber of the huge-caliber artillery carried is basically over 150 mm, especially the caliber of the artillery equipped by Lao Maozi, who attaches great importance to artillery. These two armored trains are equipped with it.  A giant heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200 was intended to blast the Chinese troops besieging Shuangchengzi and rescue the defenders and friendly forces in the Vladivostok area. However, what the Soviet army did not expect was that there would be Chinese troops here.  The * team stopped them. What's more, they didn't expect that an armored train that they thought was invincible would be easily penetrated by the Chinese *** team, causing all the gunners and machine gunners inside to be killed and injured.  . Such a result was not expected by Ge Quanwu. In his desperation, he did not calculate the penetration ability of the bazooka rocket launcher and the defensive ability of the Soviet armored train. He just used the power he brought.  Go up, use it all to buy time for the demolition team behind it. The railway track is different from other traffic roads. If you want to severely damage it, you must bury the explosive package at the land base. Otherwise, it can be blown up simply by detonating the explosive package.  The sleepers and rails were suddenly attacked.The Soviet army was naturally shocked, but soon the Soviet commander who led the team came to his senses and commanded hundreds of infantry to chase the broken down armored train.  Ge Quanwu lay down in a pit, pulled the bolt of the machine gun, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, hit me hard!" After saying this, he pulled the trigger with his finger, and the mg34 general-purpose machine gun in his hand suddenly roared.  stand up.  A hot bullet flame was dazzling in the dark night.  The submachine guns and machine guns in the hands of other soldiers also opened fire.  For a moment, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and a dense rain of bullets roared towards the Soviet infantry.  The Soviet troops rushing over from both sides of the armored train suddenly fell head-on.  "Swish, swish, swish" More than a dozen soldiers fired in a long burst, and then struggled to throw out the grenades with the fuse pulled.  More than a dozen grenades, trailing smoke and sizzling fire, crashed down.  "Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions exploded on both sides of the Soviet armor. The raging shrapnel and gravel caused great damage to the swarming Soviet infantry.  For a time, screams could not be heard.  However, after the initial chaos and heavy losses, the Soviet army quickly adjusted its offensive posture. Most of the people scattered, relying on the broken-down armored train, or avoiding the rocks, ditches, and rocks lying on both sides of the road.  There was a fierce exchange of fire with the Chinese army in the woods.  The dense bullets shuttled back and forth in the dark night like bright meteors.  Explosions one after another resounded throughout the night sky, and the Soviet Deggarev light machine guns began to roar, trying to suppress the fierce firepower of the Chinese blocking force on the opposite side.  But after some exchange of fire, they were horrified to discover the gap in firepower between the two sides.  The general-purpose machine guns of the squadron blocking the attack on the opposite side fired bullets as densely and quickly as if they were splashing water, directly suppressing them.  It seemed that the machine gunners and riflemen who were shooting were beaten into pieces by the dense bullets.  The frightened Soviet army then remembered the giant heavy artillery on the armored train. Several Soviet gunners braved the dense rain of bullets and climbed into the carriage from behind.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 580: Total Annihilation of the Enemy Army (Part 2)

    The punctured armored train carriage was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.  Seven or eight Soviet machine gunners and artillerymen were lying in pieces, their bodies black and bloody. They had obviously been dead for a long time.  Several Soviet gunners rushed in despite the rain of bullets, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun over. At the same time, someone pushed away the tattered and detachable defensive armor blocking the front.  ??Actually, it’s the back, because the locomotive is now traveling backwards, and the defensive armor at the back becomes the front.  The dark muzzle was slowly turned around by several Soviet artillerymen.  Seeing this, other Soviet infantrymen fired desperately, intending to provide cover for their own artillery.  Ge Quanwu's machine gun shot Lao Maozi into a river of blood, and he was eager to kill, but he heard the adjutant battalion commander who had been protecting him suddenly shouted: "Commander, no, Lao Maozi's artillery, look." Ge Quanwu was shocked.  , quickly looked towards the armored train, and upon seeing this, he immediately turned the muzzle of the machine gun and began to fire violently at the heavy artillery that was slowly turning around.  “Bang, bang, bang…thud…” The dense bullets hit the heavy artillery and armored trains like a torrential rain, bursting out countless dazzling sparks.  The two Soviet artillerymen were caught off guard and were turned into bloody sieves on the spot. The submachine gun in the hands of the adjutant and battalion commander also opened fire on the armored train.  The other soldiers also knew that the stakes were high, so they turned their guns one after another, and for a while, the heavy bullets hit the heavy artillery with sparks flying.  At this time, a rocket artilleryman alertly aimed at the giant heavy cannon that had almost stopped moving and was about to fire.  "Qiu! Boom!" There was a loud noise.  The bazooka rocket launcher and the giant heavy artillery fire almost at the same time.  "Captain, be careful!" When the adjutant and battalion commander saw the huge fireball coming towards them, they jumped towards Ge Quanwu in horror.  A violent explosion resounded.  Covering up all the gunshots nearby.  The armor-piercing projectile fired by the bazooka exploded near the Soviet heavy artillery barrel, although it failed to penetrate the thick barrel.  But the raging explosion shock wave still caused fatal injuries to several Soviet artillerymen near the heavy artillery.  And the hot airflow and raging shrapnel were lucky enough to detonate the shells behind the heavy artillery.  So an even bigger explosion occurred in the main carriage. In such an explosion, the barrel of this heavy artillery with a diameter of more than 200 millimeters was finally blown out of shape.  The huge and raging shock waves and shrapnel caused great damage to the Soviet troops on both sides of the railway who could not escape.  The Soviet infantry howled and fell in large areas.  And the explosive shell weighing more than ten kilograms fired by the Soviet heavy artillery roared from above Ge Quanwu and the others and landed behind them due to the angle of fire.  The soldiers of the demolition team who had just buried the explosive packs were stunned.     but.  The Soviet artillery shells detonated the explosive packages planted by the Northeast Army's blasters, directly triggering a more violent explosion.  A section of the railway was blown up beyond recognition, and the sleepers turned into sawdust all over the sky and flew wildly along with the shock wave airflow.  Sections of railway tracks were twisted and deformed like tangles of twists, scattered on both sides of the railway.  A large crater more than ten meters wide and more than one meter deep was blasted out of the solid roadbed.  Although several blasters died, their sacrifices were valuable.  Ge Quanwu got out from under the adjutant and battalion commander and looked back at the soaring fire.  Then he looked at the Soviet army, which suffered heavy casualties.  He rolled his eyes and immediately ordered: "Quickly, retreat, block the bridge, and hold on to the end!" After saying this, he took the lead and ran back with his subordinates.  ……………… Vladivostok City.  At about ten o'clock in the evening, after a bloody attack, Du Ting's main offensive force finally broke through the Soviet rear-line blockage.  Successfully captured Vladivostok, an ancient city that had fallen for nearly a hundred years, leaving some troops to clear out the remaining enemies.  The main force immediately pursued non-stop along the railway towards Shuangchengzi.  And at the same time.  The fierce fighting in the Shuangcheng sub-urban area also reached the most brutal stage.  Although the Soviet troops holding Shuangchengzi suffered heavy casualties, they still wanted to defend this place.  It bought time for the main force to evacuate, and it also learned that reinforcements from a division were coming.  The Soviet commander took advantage of the cover of night and the Chinese ** team had no air support, and commanded the troops to launch several counterattacks against the offensive troops of Ge Quanwu's three divisions.  Although Ge Quanwu was not at the headquarters, the two division commanders and his deputy division commander remained.  And the leaders of each regiment learned that this battle is closely relatedMost of them are on the front line to supervise the battle.  Therefore, all units launched the fiercest battle with the counterattacking Soviet army.  After a bloody battle by the Northeastern Border Guards, they repelled the Soviet counterattacks one by one and took advantage of the situation with all their strength to attack.  In the east and west districts of Shuangchengzi, there are endless sounds of gunfire and explosions.  People are dying all the time.  Three hours later, after suffering huge casualties, Ge Quanwu's three divisions finally captured the entire Dongcheng District and most of the Xicheng District.  The remnants of the Soviet army in Xicheng District were compressed into a small area of ??less than two kilometers in radius and fought stubbornly.  But at this moment, Ge Quanwu's attack force was almost exhausted, and many of the grassroots companies and platoons had been wiped out.  The casualties were huge.  After receiving the news, Ge Quanwu, who was leading more than a thousand group army headquarters guards and communications officers and soldiers to block the Soviet reinforcements, immediately ordered a division to build a defense line in Dongcheng District, preparing to block the main Soviet force withdrawing from Vladivostok.  On the other hand, the other two divisions were ordered to mobilize and form a reinforced regiment, and continue to storm the Xicheng District at all costs, completely eliminate the remaining enemies, and capture the Shuangchengzi area.  After receiving the order, although they were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, the three division-level generals still did not dare to neglect.  Among them, the commander of the 109th Division personally took his guard battalion, plus several incomplete infantry battalions, to form an attack reinforcement group.  Launched a final fierce attack on the stubborn Soviet army in Xicheng District.  Under the personal leadership of the division commander, the soldiers of this reinforced regiment broke out with a more tenacious fighting consciousness and powerful combat effectiveness.  The soldiers rushed forward one after another, desperately launching waves of charges against the Soviet defense fortifications. After more than an hour of fierce fighting.  Finally, all the recalcitrant Soviet troops were wiped out and the Shuangchengzi area was completely occupied.  However, before the officers and soldiers who had been fighting for a long time had time to take a break, gunfire erupted again in Dongcheng District and flames shot into the sky.  The main force of the Soviet army has arrived.  The officers and soldiers of the 109th Division and the 309th Division spontaneously mobilized and rushed to Dongcheng District to reinforce the 9th Division.  Fortunately, at this time, Du Ting's main pursuit force also bit the tail of the main Soviet army, and was launching fierce attacks on the Soviet army from the rear.  The Soviet army has fallen into a dilemma, and it will only be a matter of time before it is eliminated.  PS: One more chapter, there should be two or three chapters updated tomorrow.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 581: Total Annihilation of the Enemy Army (Part 2)

    "General, the east and west districts of Shuangchengzi have been captured by our army." The adjutant and battalion commander, with his face covered in black and gray, said excitedly as he ran to Ge Quanwu's side.  When Ge Quanwu heard this, he stopped shooting and retreated into the ditch. He lay down panting like an ox and said: "Great, we will win this battle! Tell the brothers, give me a hard fight. Victory already belongs to us."  "Belong to the great Chinese nation!" Although the Soviet army was large in number, the thousands of men led by Ge Quanwu still blocked them less than ten kilometers away from Shuangchengzi by virtue of the dangerous terrain.  The Soviet army had learned that Shuangchengzi had fallen and the defenders had been wiped out, so they anxiously stepped up their attacks.  But still unable to take a step forward.  In the direction of Shuangchengzi, a large number of Soviet troops were also launching a fierce attack on the temporary defense line constructed by the Northeast Frontier Defense Force without fear of death.  The machine gunners of the Chinese ** team shot almost all the spare barrels red, and the bullet consumption increased sharply.  It can be seen how fierce the war is.  In the rear of the Soviet army, Du Ting's tens of thousands of pursuit troops also launched round after round of fierce attacks on the Soviet rear troops.  Under the crushing assault of the Chinese tank troops, Soviet casualties were rising linearly.  When the situation was critical, Zhukov actually abandoned his large troops and took a detour with a small group of elite troops.  Because he knew that the situation had reached an irreversible point and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.  Although the slogans usually shouted are allegiance to Marxism-Leninism and the great leader Stalin.  “But when death really approached him, this young and promising Soviet general chose to escape.  As soon as Zhukov escaped, the Soviet troops who were fighting bloody battles immediately fell into a leaderless situation. They dispersed and broke out according to the orders Zhukov left before leaving.  For a time, the battlefield was still in full swing and a fierce battle was going on.  It soon evolved into another scene.  Countless Soviet troops broke out one after another in the dark night.  The three elite divisions of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force that were blocking the Soviet army were also stunned. However, soon, Du Ting sent an order to directly bypass Ge Quanwu and command these three divisions.  Ordered them to immediately attack across the board and launch an all-out pursuit of the fleeing Soviet troops.  At the same time, hundreds of thousands of main pursuit troops also swarmed up like a tide and launched a full-frontal pursuit of the Soviet army.  This large-scale pursuit battle lasted from about 11 o'clock in the evening to noon the next day.  On the boundary of dozens of kilometers.  Soldiers from both sides were fiercely chasing and fighting everywhere.  After this night of melee, the main force of the Soviet army has been completely dispersed, with heavy casualties and serious losses of weapons and equipment.  Many Soviet soldiers were lost.  With the guidance and help of the Air Force, the Chinese ** Corps basically took the initiative on the battlefield, and the pursuing Soviet troops had nowhere to escape.  This melee and pursuit continued for two days before it finally came to an end.  Before the war began, only less than 30,000 of the more than 200,000 Soviet troops fled back to Khabarovsk.  The rest were either shot dead or escaped and hid in the mountains and forests, of course, 80%.  They all became prisoners of China's northeastern border guards.  In the Shuangchengzi area alone, Ge Quanwu's three divisions captured 60,000 Soviet prisoners, seized weapons and ammunition, and countless artillery and tanks.  …………Nanjing.  Zhang Xinghan's office.  "Commission, reservation, great victory, great victory!" Jiang Baili was so excited that he could hardly speak.  Zhang Xinghan stood up immediately after hearing this.  Asked: "Brother Baili, don't be anxious, where is the great victory?" "Vladivostok. Great victory in Vladivostok." Jiang Baili took a few deep breaths excitedly and said: "Du Ting commanded the Northeastern Border Defense Force to finally defeat them after a week-long bloody battle.  Zhukov's Vladivostok Army had only one out of more than 200,000 Soviet troops in the Far East. Our army captured more than 100,000 prisoners. As for the seizures, they were countless!" "Great, well done.  " Zhang Xinghan said: "Immediately send electricity to Du Ting to commend all the soldiers of our army who participated in the war. I hope they will continue their efforts and make new contributions to the motherland and the nation. " "Commissioner, Du Ting is currently leading his troops in the Shuangchengzi area.  Rest, and next, he plans to march to Khabarovsk and Sakhalin Island to completely regain the millions of square kilometers of territory in the Far East." Jiang Baili nodded and added to the report.  Zhang Xinghan did not get carried away. After hearing what Jiang Baili said, he put away his smile and turned around and walked towards a giant battle map.  ??Looked at the map, ?After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "In the message to Du Ting, I asked him to pay attention to one thing. There is no rush to regain Sakhalin Island, but to immediately send troops westward to sweep the urban areas on both sides of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers.  . Echoing Gao Chu's Northwest Frontier Force, it aims to eliminate the Soviet forces in the Far East as much as possible, capture the city, and completely eliminate the influence and actual presence of the Soviet army in the Far East. It will not be too late to return to Sakhalin Island.  "Jiang Baili also looked at the map, nodded in agreement and said, "It makes sense. As long as the main Soviet forces in the Khabarovsk area are eliminated by us, it will be easy to recover Sakhalin Island." "That's right.  Brother Baili, Duke Zhou has just received news from Germany that Hitler greatly appreciates our sending troops to the Far East and Siberia. He has already increased the deployment of troops in the war against the Soviet Union and vowed to join forces with our army in Moscow," Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.  .  "It doesn't matter whether our army will join forces or not. It's best if the German army can fight the Soviet army under the city of Moscow and both sides will suffer losses. Our goal should be Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa that you have already planned." Jiang Baili showed a knowing smile.  Smiled.  "Based on the current results of the two major border guards, Du Ting and Gao Chu, there is no longer any worries in the northwest and northeast. The strategic purpose of supporting the German army has basically been achieved. Next, we can concentrate all our efforts on dealing with the British and American forces in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.  It's time for the French coalition to fight to the death." Zhang Xinghan said with great enthusiasm: "Even if we don't want this decisive battle to come so soon," "Baili believes that with your wise command, the soldiers of the three armies will fight hard.  , we will definitely win this war." Although Jiang Baili's words were suspected of flattery, they were what he meant.  …………… Northeast, Jilin Longxing Airport.  This has now become the largest air force base in the Chinese nation throughout the Republic of China.  It has also become a training base for flight cadets from the Longxing Military Academy Headquarters.  At the airport, more than ten R-4 military helicopters have started up one after another, and the propellers have begun to rotate from slow to fast.  In the end, it turned into an afterimage, emitting a deafening roar and huge wind. With an order from an air force instructor, these more than ten R-4 military helicopters began to fly off the ground one after another.  Watching these helicopters take off smoothly, Zhang Xinghua, who had been secretly sweating, finally felt a big stone in his heart.  "The last batch of students have finally mastered flying skills. In a month or two, they should be able to skillfully operate this new type of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft." Zhang Xinghua said secretly: I finally lived up to my brother's expectations of me.  And great trust.  As a veteran with rich flying experience, Zhang Xinghua certainly knows what kind of combat power this new aircraft that can take off and land vertically will exert once it is put into service.  It will also have a huge impact on the entire conventional combat method.  This is definitely a magical weapon that spans the ages.  As for jet fighters, the principles and principles of the already fast Zero fighter are not much different from the BF-109 fighter.  Pilots can master it easily.  So, the most important thing now is this helicopter that can take off and land vertically.  Zhang Xinghua took a sip from the glass of water. Just when he was about to watch the jet fighter training over there, a three-wheeled motorcycle came speeding towards him.  "Sir, I just received a call from the Jilin City Defense Commander. Your wife has given birth." A communications soldier jumped off the side three-wheeler, stood up to attention and saluted Zhang Xinghua and reported.  "Have you given birth? A boy or a girl?" Zhang Xinghua asked in surprise.  "Boy, sir, are you going back to Jilin for a visit? Do you need me to arrange a ride?" an adjutant next to him asked quickly.  Zhang Xinghua just came back to his senses and was about to nod and say yes, but when he heard the roar of the plane that was still circling in the sky above his head, he immediately gritted his teeth and shook his head and said: "No, brother has entrusted me with an important task. Our mission is to do it as soon as possible."  We need to train the new air force so that it can be used in the war to protect our country as soon as possible in the future. "The adjutant also wanted to persuade us that it would be okay as he is here to keep an eye on us.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinghua waved his hand directly and said to the communications soldier: "Please call the City Defense Headquarters back and ask them to inform my family that I am on military duty and cannot return home. Please take care of me." "  Yes!" The communications soldier quickly stood up and responded, then turned around and got on the motorcycle and left.  ………… Vladivostok City,Although the gunfire here has stopped.  But the ruins everywhere can still show that this place has just experienced the baptism of war.  However, the bodies of the dead soldiers on both sides on the street have been processed and transported away, and some Chinese soldiers are also cleaning the streets.  The whole city was replaced with blue sky and white sun flags.  In a relatively intact building, Ge Quanwu, dressed in military uniform, straightened his body energetically and said to Du Ting: "General seat, the humble 9th Division has been prepared and can set off at any time. We guarantee that all troops will be dispatched within a week.  Take Sakhalin Island!" Du Ting just wanted to nod and encourage his old subordinates.  Suddenly, a communications staff officer hurried in and saluted him: "Maintain, urgent call from Nanjing." Du Ting and Ge Quanwu were both shocked. The former stood up quickly and took the message, read it hastily, and after a sudden change in his expression,  Then he said to Ge Quanwu, who was a little impatient: "Quanwu, order your troops to return to Shuangchengzi immediately and stand by." PS: There will be two chapters later, maybe two chapters in one, thank you.  (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 582: Bloody Battle of Songshan (1)

    "What?" Ge Quanwu's surprise was written all over his face, and he asked: "Chief, what happened? Didn't you ask me to lead the team to recover Sakhalin Island?" Du Ting didn't say much, but said  The message in his hand was handed to him.  Ge Quanwu took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and immediately stood up and said loudly: "Yes, I will resolutely obey the order and withdraw immediately." "However, before I leave, I have a merciless request." Du Ting  Somewhat funny, he said: "Okay, we brothers, you are still playing around with me, tell me directly, whatever requirements you have, I will try my best to satisfy you." Ge Quanwu's group army has always been an absolutely elite force under his command.  , this battle of Vladivostok contributed a lot, and Du Ting liked this subordinate who was good at fighting.  "If our army attacks Khabarovsk, please give the main attack task to my 9th Division and my 9th Army." Ge Quanwu said with a serious look on his face.  "Okay, but I'm going to say something ugly first. If you can't complete the main attack mission and delay the battle, don't let our military law disown people." Du Ting said in a pretentious manner.  "Yes, sir, please rest assured. Our 9th Army Group promises that we have not carried out the wrong mission." As soon as he finished his promise, Ge Quanwu muttered in a low voice: Lao Maozi has already been killed by us, so there is no hope of resistance.  The tens of thousands of defenders in Khabarovsk may seem small, but in fact they have no fighting power and are no different from a ragtag group of people.  " "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get out of here.  "Du Ting waved his hand pretending to be impatient. "Everyone knows that the victory in the Battle of Vladivostok has completely destroyed the Soviet army's sense of resistance. There are no reinforcements behind, no food, grass and ammunition, and they are subject to wanton bombings and air raids by the Chinese Air Force every day.  . The Soviet army in Khabarovsk is on the verge of collapse. It is only a matter of time before the army recovers Khabarovsk. After all, the troops have just experienced the bloody battles of the Battle of Transit River and the Battle of Vladivostok. They should have a good rest for two days, and their ammunition is also very consumed. Give the logistics more.  The time has passed. We are well prepared to capture the last remaining Soviet resistance in the Far East. The President's Office in the White House, Washington.  Sitting down, a secretary stood with a document in hand and was reporting the latest intelligence that had just come in. “On the Soviet-German battlefield, the German army completed the encirclement in the Kiev area, and 700,000 Soviet troops were forced to surrender and the entire army was wiped out.  On the battlefield in the Far East, the Chinese Northeast and Northwest border troops took the initiative to attack. After two battles, they basically defeated and eliminated the regular Soviet resistance in the Far East.  The Soviets are currently too tired to deal with the German offensive and have no time to care about the Far East.  It is only a matter of time before the Far East falls into the hands of the Chinese.  "What about Southeast Asia?" Marshall asked when he saw Roosevelt's expression was gloomy and silent.  "The main force of the army commanded by MacArthur is advancing towards the front line. It is expected to have arrived at the front line of Yunnan, China. Some time ago, although our army's advance troops and the British and French allied forces captured some places of the Chinese, they were blocked by the natural dangers of the Nu River.  "The secretary replied urgently.  After Marshall finished listening, he waved his hand to the secretary and motioned for him to step aside and wait.  I saw Roosevelt looking gloomy and very unhappy.  "It's no wonder that since the declaration of war against China, there has been almost no news from either the Allies or the Soviet Army that the Chinese army has lost its advantage.  It’s all news about the frequent victories of the Chinese army and the Germans.  This made Roosevelt committed to containing the rise of China.  How can a president who provokes a war to safeguard the status of the Allies in the Asia-Pacific region still be happy?  “In particular, not long ago, Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Theater, called again, saying that the air strike retaliation against the Chinese capital failed with the complete annihilation of our own air force.  So Marshall was very able to understand Roosevelt's bad mood at this moment.  After pondering for a moment, Marshall persuaded: "Mr. President, please don't be discouraged. Our national strength is still there, and these previous losses do not harm us. Strictly speaking, our war machine has just started to operate. Today  Before I came here, I visited several aircraft manufacturers and inquired. They said that within three months at the latest, they would be sure to have a more advanced fighter aircraft in service. This will be an active-duty aircraft capable of being equipped with the Chinese.  New fighter aircraft that can compete with or even surpass modern fighter jets.”&nbsp; Roosevelt took out a cigar, lit it, and puffed away: "There are still three months. In these three months, we don't know how much more casualties we will pay." "Mr. President,  Since ancient times, there has been no war without bloodshed and sacrifice. We are fighting a just war, and the great United States of America will definitely win the final victory. As president, you must always maintain confidence in your country and yourself.  The army remains confident." Marshall's wrinkled old face revealed a look of determination.  Looking at the determination on the face of the elderly staff member he chose, Roosevelt, who was smoking, nodded slowly.  ……………Southwest and Songshan front lines.  The battle has entered the most intense level since the outbreak. The reason is that the main force of the US Army has arrived.  This time the Yankees did not let the soft-legged British and French allies and their servants take the lead in the main attack.  Instead, a full complement of elite infantry regiments were mobilized. Under the cover of artillery, tanks, and light and heavy machine guns, they launched round after round of ferocious attacks on Songshan Fortress.  The battle was extremely fierce, and the mountains and plains were filled with the deafening sound of gunfire and explosions.  In the Yunnan Army Command Headquarters, Wang Dafei's face became a little solemn. The enemy army had obviously increased its troops again.  “Moreover, the additions are all well-trained and well-equipped elite divisions, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond what the previous Indian Asan and Burmese monkey servant armies can match.  Not only did the Yunnan Army suffer heavy casualties, but his parachute regiment also suffered heavy casualties.  It can be said that in the face of such fierce and powerful firepower from the attacking enemy, only the weapons equipped by his paratroopers can compete with it.  Wang Dafei stared at the map and pondered for a long time, and finally stood up and said to Cun Xingqi: "General, it seems that I must send a message to the Chairman immediately and ask him to replace your unit with German or American equipment. Otherwise, our army may not be able to resist for a long time.  Go on, the ratio of casualties between the offensive and defensive sides is too high." Upon hearing this, Cun Xingqi suddenly said with surprise and gratitude: "If this is true, then Cun will thank Commander Wang from all the brigade officers and soldiers!  You must fight the enemy bravely and die to serve your country!”

    As soon as the two finished speaking, the phone in the command center suddenly rang rapidly.  Lieutenant Chen quickly walked over and picked it up. After saying a few words, his face immediately became extremely excited.  Putting down the phone, he turned to Cun Xingqi, Wang Dafei and others: "Commander Wang, reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived. Three divisions of the Central Army have arrived. In addition, General Zhang Lingfu, who is responsible for taking over the general command of the Nujiang Defense Line, also informed us that  Be prepared for a counterattack. Once the troops are assembled, they will immediately cross the river and launch a large-scale counterattack against the British and American coalition forces to drive them out of the country! But before that, he asked us to hold the two west bank bridgeheads of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain.  , There is no room for failure!" Cun Xingqi, Wang Dafei and others were surprised when they heard this, and then they saw the determination to stick to the end in their eyes.  …………Nanjing, Operations Department of the Military Commission.  Zhang Xinghan is discussing with Jiang Baili the possibility of a large-scale naval and air battle, discussing various possible disadvantages and advantages.  However, the adjutant Guo Zhong strode in with a piece of telegram in his hand.  When the two heard the footsteps, they raised their heads and turned around.  "Zhongzi, what's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan opened his mouth and asked when he saw Guo Zhong walking in a hurry.  "General, a large number of main reinforcements from the US Army have arrived. The pressure on the defenders of our two fortresses on the west bank of the Nujiang River, Songjiang and Gaoligong Mountain has doubled. The casualties were extremely heavy. Among them, Wang Dafei, the commander of the 2nd Airborne Regiment, requested a commission to defend the stationed Yunnan Army.  The troops are airdropping new equipment to strengthen their combat effectiveness and work with them to fight against the US military's attack." Guo Zhong briefly stated the contents of the message.  Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other. The former asked: "When will the main reinforcements of the Southwest Frontier Force arrive? Where are Zhang Lingfu now?" Jiang Baili replied: "Replying to the commission, Zhang Lingfu's two divisions should have arrived in Kunming.  As for the vanguard of the three divisions led by Du Yuming, they should have arrived at the front line by now." Guo Zhong then said, "Yes, according to the latest information we have, the three divisions of the former Central Army have already arrived.  Arriving at the north bank of the Nu River, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Lingfu is still in Kunming. "It was Zhang Xinghan's decision after consultation with Chairman Chiang that all the frontline troops in this anti-U.S. war would be handed over to Zhang Lingfu for unified command.  Originally, Chairman Chiang was reluctant, but Zhang Xinghan said that once the US military was defeated on land, the captured weapons and equipment would be given priority to the Central Army, and the Central Committee would provide them with accompanying ammunition logistics supplies.  It also hinted to Chairman Chiang that he could capture British and French colonies such as Vietnam, Burma, and even India.  make it their own.  With these favorable and generous conditions, Chairman Chiang naturally nodded in agreement and strictly ordered Du Yuming and other generals to cooperate with Zhang Lingfu's command.  However, Zhang Lingfu, as the commander-in-chief, was not at the front line yet. Zhang Xinghan suddenly became a little angry and said immediately: "Immediately send electricity to Zhang Lingfu and ask him to go to the Baoshan front line immediately and take over the command as soon as possible. He is fully responsible for this battle." Guo Zhong saw Zhang Xing in Chinese.  With a slightly serious tone, he quickly stood up and said yes, then quickly turned around and left.  Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner, Zhang Lingfu is a young and talented general. I am not worried about commanding the army in battle, but I am worried that the main force participating in the war this time is the Central Army of the generals. With Yunnan and Sichuan local strength troops. With him  The prestige may not be able to be used like an arm and a finger!" Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "That makes sense. Although Mr. Jiang has agreed, it is really a question whether the people below will do it in disguise."  After a while, Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili: "Brother Baili, if not, you will airborne to Kunming with me. In this way, we will definitely be able to intimidate all participating troops and concentrate on fighting." "Commissioner, you are going to Kunming.  "Isn't this not good?" Jiang Baili was a little worried.  "There's nothing to worry about. This time it's not just the two of us. We'll take Long Yun, Liu Xiang, and Li Zongren with us. No one dares to do anything against us." Zhang Xinghan said with a slight smile.  "Yeah." Jiang Baili nodded, and then asked: "What about airdropping weapons and equipment to the frontline Yunnan Army?" Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "Songshan Fortress is very important, and the terrain is limited, so it cannot be done with more troops.  If it works, the strength of the weapons and firepower determines the outcome. The casualties of the Yunnan Army are too great, which may cause some unexpected adverse effects. Let’s inform the logistics department and find a way to airlift American equipment from the two regiments.  . In order to strengthen the firepower of the defenders in these two places, it can also be regarded as spiritual power.?? Next, let’s direct operations to reduce some uncertain factors and resistance.  " "Yes, the appointment is wise.  "Jiang Baili smiled slightly and nodded in praise. …………… Zhang Lingfu is really in trouble in Kunming City. Although his two divisions have arrived, they have traveled a long distance and the fuel carried by the troops has been exhausted. His two divisions  Each division is a mechanized infantry division drawn from the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area. Without fuel, trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery tractors will all break down. This will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness.  However, being far away in Yunnan and the road to Shu is difficult, Zhang Lingfu is well aware that logistics and transportation are inconvenient, so he is discussing with Long Yun's old headquarters in Kunming to replenish fuel and other supplies for his two mechanized infantry divisions. However, Kunming.  How could the left-behind officials dare to agree to Zhang Lingfu without his instructions? Moreover, with two mechanized infantry divisions and large and small vehicles approaching, the fuel required was astronomical for them, who were already poor and backward.  There was no way Ali could produce so much fuel. Although Zhang Lingfu was furious, he could only grit his teeth and hold back in order not to disrupt this joint operation. As soon as he returned to the temporary headquarters, the communications soldier who stayed behind saluted him with a message in his hand.  Chief, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in Nanjing has called, urging you to rush to Baoshan immediately to take charge of the Nujiang defense battle.  "Zhang Lingfu took the telegram and looked at it angrily, then put it aside. Zhang Xiaofu stepped forward when he saw this and suggested: "Chief, these Yunnan people don't know how to praise. We came all the way here, they  Not only did they not offer condolences, they even refused to provide some fuel supplies.  "Hurry up and lead two regiments to their warehouse to grab it. I have found out clearly that there are several large military warehouses in the east of Kunming, and there must be a lot of oil in them.  " "Nonsense, this time the commission appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Border Defense Force to fight against the U.S. and former enemies.  The purpose is to unite the border guards from all over the southwest to fight against the British and American invading forces. If we try to rob it, wouldn’t it directly undermine this joint operation?  "Zhang Lingfu directly vetoed this unreliable decision.

    "Sir, I just received news that the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mr. Jiang and his entourage have secretly landed in Kunming. I now inform you to go to the city immediately for a face-to-face interview." When Zhang Lingfu was at a loss what to do, a communications adjutant came over and reported.  "What? The commissioner came to Kunming?" Zhang Lingfu stood up suddenly after hearing this, and said to Zhang Xiaofu: "Xiaofu, follow me into the city right away." "Yes." Zhang Xiaofu stood up quickly and said.  …………… In Kunming City, the Provincial Chairman’s Office.  Accompanied by Long Yun, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Liu Xiang and others, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili entered the hub building, which represents the pinnacle of Yunnan's strength.  However, as the king of Yunnan, Long Yun felt very unhappy, because even though Zhang Xinghan and other important officials had come to own one-third of an acre of land.  But he has lost his former authority. Zhang Xinghan's extremely high reputation and the pervasive infiltration of the Secrecy Bureau and the Military Control Bureau are secretly threatening him.  As a result, the capital of Yunnan, which has always regarded itself as the emperor of the earth, was very afraid.  Even if Zhang Xinghan’s agents didn’t make any arrangements, Long Yun didn’t dare to have any unfavorable thoughts against him, because Zhang Lingfu’s two divisions were just outside the city.  As soon as everyone sat down, there was a rush of footsteps outside.  "Commissioners, sirs, Zhang Lingfu has been ordered to report." Zhang Lingfu, dressed in military uniform, strode in and saluted Zhang Xinghan and others.  "Lingfu, you are here at the right time. This war against the United States in the southwest is of great importance. I came to Kunming with all the senior generals of the party and state to better unite the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Frontier Army and work together to fight against the United States.  Go to the national disaster. "This time, Mr. Jiang, Brother Jiansheng, and Brother De Lin are stationed in Kunming to serve as strong backing for you and the soldiers. The battle on the front line will be left to you," Zhang Xinghan said quickly.  "Yes." Zhang Lingfu stood up and responded, taking the opportunity to say: "Commissioner. To be honest, our two mechanized infantry divisions are currently facing serious fuel supply difficulties. Please help me solve it." Zhang Xinghan turned his eyes after hearing this.  Long Yun, who was sitting on his left, knew the situation of Zhang Lingfu's unit very well, and he called Zhang Lingfu just to make Long Yun bleed.  It is impossible for me to guard Kunming, the rear area of ??the Yunnan Yunnan Army, and then go all the way to mobilize oil supplies from Nanjing to replenish it.  Extracting it directly from the multi-function watch will only be done when you have no choice.  And it is not a long-term solution, so the fuel for these two divisions still has to be borne by Long Yun.  When Long Yun saw Zhang Xinghan looking at him, his heart skipped a beat, but he saw Jiang Baili and Bai Chongxi again.  Li Zongren, Liu Xiang and others all turned their attention to him with special meaning.  Long Yun knew he couldn't hide, so he took the initiative and said: "Commissioner, I have been running Yunnan for many years, and I have also accumulated some oil. It is in the military supply warehouse in the east of the city. I will arrange for someone to deliver it to General Zhang's troops.  " Zhang Xinghan was moved and said to Long Yun: "The general understands the righteousness and serves the country and the people. He is really a model for party leaders! " Long Yun laughed twice and said a few words of humility.  I feel bad at all.  But when I thought that if the Yankees really conquered the Nu River, they would most likely lose all their Yunnan roots, and I felt a little more balanced.  Zhang Lingfu got Long Yun’s approval and Zhang Xinghan’s support.  He happily accepted the order and said goodbye, and then ordered Zhang Xiaofu and his men to head straight to the military supplies warehouse in the east of the city excitedly.  After replenishing the fuel supply, Zhang Lingfu immediately ordered the troops to march in the direction of Baoshan, while he took Zhang Xiaofu and a guard platoon with him.  Take a military plane and fly directly to the military airport in Baoan County.  Kunming is six to seven hundred miles away from Baoan County. Even if the mechanized troops advance at the fastest speed, they cannot arrive in a day and a half.  But the war on the west bank of the Nujiang River is urgent.  As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Lingfu still needs to reach the front line as soon as possible.  After more than two hours of flight, the plane landed safely and smoothly at Baoshan Military Airport.  Because it is located on the border, the security airport is not big. It is a small military airport. After getting off the plane, Zhang Lingfu looked around and saw the vast mountains and forests surrounding the airport.  Wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, Tang Huaiyuan, accompanied by his adjutants and staff officers, hurriedly greeted him. The two sides saluted each other and exchanged pleasantries.  Zhang Lingfu took the guards away from the airport under the leadership of Tang Huaiyuan and headed for the former enemy headquarters in Baoshan.  When Zhang Lingfu arrived at the headquarters, he found that Du Yuming was also there, and greeted him with a smile. Both of them felt a little embarrassed, and without saying much, they went straight into the mood and began to study and deploy combat plans.  Songshan battlefield.  The Air Force hasHe was ordered to airdrop a batch of advanced American weapons and corresponding ammunition to the Yunnan Army defenders here.  With the assistance of elite paratroopers, these Yunnan Army soldiers were able to quickly master the use of American weapons.  The firepower of the defenders has been greatly improved, and their combat effectiveness has also increased.  The U.S. military's offensive has also declined compared to before it arrived. As the saying goes, a strong attack is as powerful as a tiger. When the first attack does not go well, the confidence and vigor of the troops are frustrated.  It has become a situation that happens again and again, and then declines, and three times it is exhausted.  The U.S. military is in this situation now. Just like Cheng Yaojin, when he went into battle, he used three axes with extremely ferocious force, but when the Chinese defenders in Songshan stubbornly blocked their three axes.  The Yankees’ military morale was greatly affected, their vigor was depleted, and their combat effectiveness also declined.  Of course, the biggest impact is the heavy casualties.  Americans are a country of immigrants, especially in this kind of invasion war, rather than a homeland defense war. It is difficult for them to withstand large casualties.  Once the casualties exceed a certain amount, it will have a great impact on their morale.  On the other hand, looking at the Chinese troops guarding Songshan and Gaoligong Mountains, even if the casualties exceed 70%, the remaining 30% can continue to maintain fighting spirit and combat effectiveness and continue to fight.  Because they have the belief that supports them to continue fighting bloody battles, and this belief is to protect their homeland and country.  In the former enemy headquarters of the US military, Morgan's command has been replaced by a lieutenant general named Dai Jinsi with the arrival of the main army of 100,000 troops.  However, due to his previous tenacious performance and commanding ability, MacArthur still promoted him to the chief of operations staff of the frontline headquarters, responsible for assisting Dagin in commanding this operation.  After listening to the reports of several division commanders, Dai Jinen shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "We can't continue the fight like this. The casualties of the troops are too great. I can't explain it to the families of the soldiers." Mo Gen said with some disapproval: "They are soldiers.  From the moment you put on the military uniform, your life belongs to the country and the United States of America. It is a great honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield. " Dai Jinen obviously has different ideas from Morgan, a young officer. He has more concerns.  a little.  "No, Chief of Staff Morgan, your idea is too naive. We can't face those widows when they return home. The old man's hopeful eyes are sometimes speechless. We must try our best to bring every soldier we bring out safely.  Bring it back intact," Dai Jin'en said.  "General, this is a war, not a vacation. They should have been prepared to sacrifice before they came!" Morgan roared.  Dai Jinen shook his head slightly and said: "No, we must stop the attack and come up with a more effective way of fighting. This kind of frontal attack will bring us unbearable casualties and cannot continue." After finishing speaking,  Ignoring Morgan's roar, Dai Jinen informed his adjutant and issued an order to stop the attack.  After receiving the order, the US offensive force, which was on the verge of collapse, quickly and neatly executed it.  A few minutes ago, Songshan, which was filled with the sound of gunfire and gunfire, quickly fell silent, and the American soldiers all over the mountains and plains were evacuated in an instant like a tide.  In the trench, a veteran of the Yunnan Army breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, turned around and leaned against the trench, saying: "Damn it, these Americans have finally been repelled. If we continue to fight, we may not be able to hold on."  "The Yankees are afraid of death, haven't you seen it? Their offensives are getting weaker every time. Once the casualties of the troops they invest exceed 30%, they will 100% stop the attack immediately and declare the attack a failure."  The second lieutenant of the paratrooper said while loading the empty magazine of his submachine gun.  (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 585: Battle Plan

    Mandalay, U.S. military headquarters.  Colonel Mick took a telegram and said to MacArthur: "General, Colonel Morgan called and said that Dai Jinen was weak and incompetent and had ordered a halt to the attack. He believed that Dai Jinen was not suitable to continue to serve as a frontline commander." MacArthur looked at the map,  Glancing at his cigar, he said: "Dai Jin'en is a conservative general. He thought the casualties were too high and stopped the attack. I already know this. But Morgan is young and energetic and is too arrogant. Dai Jin'en is not suitable for command. Do you want me to put him in command?"  Will the frontline command be given to him? "Obviously, MacArthur was already a little dissatisfied with this reckless person.  Mick did not answer, but said: "But, General, it is true that the casualties of the attacking troops were too high. On the battlefields of Gaoligong Mountain and Songshan, we have lost at least thousands of American soldiers and nearly 10,000 Allied soldiers.  The casualties are really huge." MacArthur said angrily: "I told you before that this was a stupid but necessary war. These casualties were expected and inevitable.  "Then, General, is there no remedy? Even if it just reduces the casualties, we can do the trick with the White House," Colonel Mick said.  Speaking of this, MacArthur said angrily: "More than twenty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers and a group of P38 fighters were completely wiped out, and not even a Chinese civilian was killed. If it weren't for the Pacific Fleet Command,  Stupid, these fighters will be of great help to the frontline troops. Our airborne troops can also carry out surprise attacks on the enemy's rear. Maybe we have already broken through the Nujiang defense line of the Chinese Army.  The situation in the confrontation across the river would be countless times better than it is now. "Colonel Mick said: "General, can you ask Washington to send us a new batch of bombers and transport planes immediately?" MacArthur shook his head with regret.  He said: "It's too late. According to the intelligence I have, a large number of Chinese reinforcements have arrived on the east bank of the Nu River. We have lost our best fighter opportunity." "Then what should we do? Do nothing?"  "Colonel Mick said with some regret.  MacArthur pondered for a long time before making up his mind: "Send power to General Daikin and order them to stop the attack immediately and instead launch artillery bombardment on Songshan Fortress to minimize unnecessary sacrifices. Now all we need to do is wait. Wait until  Our army's new fighter planes are in service and are waiting for the naval fleet to launch a counterattack against the Chinese fleet and successfully defeat them. It will be easy to break through the Nujiang defense line by then. "Colonel Mick said with some worry."  But, General, what about Washington?" "It's okay. I will take responsibility for anything. I can't waste my precious troops anymore, and I can't let the young lives of the soldiers be sacrificed in vain," MacArthur said decisively.  …………… Baoshan County, in the former enemy headquarters.  With the assistance of Du Yuming and Tang Huaiyuan, a grand counterattack plan that Zhang Lingfu had begun to conceive on the way before arriving came to life.  After the three of them studied it carefully.  This combat plan finally took shape.  Du Yuming looked at the various marching signs on the combat map and couldn't help but sigh: "Big deal, brother Lingfu. Chairman Zhang has so much regard for you. He is indeed the right person. Du Yuming is convinced today."  He was a general of the Central Army faction and was highly regarded by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. However, Du Yuming was the deputy division commander and Zhang Lingfu was only a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander.  It wasn’t until he met Zhang Xinghan that he first became famous in a battle at Puyang City.  Then the rocket-like promotion speed began.  Now he has become Army Lieutenant General and General Commander-in-Chief of the Army.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan is currently the most popular person in front of him and has been entrusted with important tasks many times, so his promotion speed has far exceeded that of Du Yuming, his senior brother from Huangpu.  Before, Du Yuming still looked down upon Zhang Lingfu, but after Zhang Lingfu sorted out his battle plan.  He had to admit that Zhang Lingfu was an excellent general with great tactical, strategic vision and level. While he admired Zhang Lingfu, he also admired Zhang Xinghan's ability to recognize people.  Tang Huaiyuan couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "Yes, we, Old Tang, have been fighting for most of his life. But compared to General Zhang, I feel inferior." Zhang Lingfu was happy in his heart, but he still waved his hands and pretended to be humble:  "Hey, you two dear friends have given me a great reward.This is also due to learning from Chairman Zhang's command style and combat experience.  "Moreover, this war involves a vast scope and a huge scale. If we are not careful, hundreds of thousands of our expeditionary troops may be defeated in a foreign country.  In the end, it still has to be submitted to Chairman Zhang for review and approval before it can be implemented.  " Du Yuming nodded and said: "Chairman Zhang is an unparalleled invincible god of war. His tactical command ability and strategic vision are unmatched by anyone in the world.  As long as he nods, there will definitely be no problem with this battle plan.  "  In Kunming City, Long Yun arranged the residences of Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili very close to each other, which was very convenient for them to discuss military affairs. " No, after a simple meeting with Long Yun, Li Zongren and others, Zhang Xinghan  Jiang Baili and Bai Chongxi were summoned, and the three of them gathered around the battle map and began to study the battle plan. Zhang Xinghan came to the southwest to supervise the war. It was obvious that he was not just hoping that Zhang Lingfu and the soldiers of the Southwest Frontier Army could keep the enemy away from the country.  His huge and grand battle plan, with the successive victories of the northwest and northeast border troops, the north has no worries, and has begun to be initially implemented to attack the effective forces of the US Army on land in Southeast Asia as much as possible, and to deal with future sea and air forces.  The decisive battle also has indirect help. Therefore, as long as the time is right, Zhang Xinghan does not mind a large-scale battle with the US Army in the Yunnan and Burma areas. It is best to severely damage the US Army in Southeast Asia.  The aide-de-camp Guo Zhong came in, saluted the three of them, and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Committee, Zhang Lingfu has called.  "    "Um?  Zhang Xinghan asked: "What did Lingfu say?"  " Guo Zhong looked down and said, "This is a combat plan, a combat plan for counterattacking the British, American and French coalition forces.  " Zhang Xinghan waved his hands curiously: "Bring it to me and take a look.  " Guo Zhong quickly handed it to Zhang Xinghan respectfully. Zhang Xinghan read it again. Jiang Baili and Bai Chongxi both asked: "Commission, how does Zhang Lingfu plan to fight?  " Zhang Xinghan handed the telegram to the two of them. After reading it, the two of them fell into deep thought. Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, stared at the battle map in front of him and said: "I have to say that Zhang Lingfu's battle plan is bold enough.  " "It is more than bold, concentrating half a million troops to launch an overwhelming attack on the US military. I think it is simply astonishing.  "Jiang Baili said with a smile. "But, Commissioner, Mr. Jiang, have you ever thought about it. In this combat plan, Zhang Lingfu needs airborne troops to land in Lashio and Myitkyina respectively to cut off the retreat of the 100,000 U.S. troops who invaded our country.  the road.  As far as I know, the total number of the commissioned airborne troops is now less than 10,000. Previously, 6,000 troops were dispatched to assist the Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain fortresses respectively.  Even if they are mobilized, there will only be less than 9,000 airborne troops, and they will be divided into two groups. These 9,000 troops will withstand 100,000 U.S. Army troops and the hinterland of Myanmar in a dangerous environment with no backup, no logistics, and enemies on all sides.  other British and American coalition forces.  Can you hold it?  "Bai Chongxi said with a worried look. How could Zhang Xinghan not think of this, so he was considering whether to let the Army Aviation Helicopter Unit, one of his new air force units, enter the war in advance. Zhang Xinghua reported training to him every day  situation and the latest developments, so Zhang Xinghan knows that the current helicopter force has initially achieved combat capabilities. What Zhang Xinghan values ??most is their powerful and terrifying troop projection capabilities. As long as he puts all hundreds of helicopters into use.  , then the most critical part of Zhang Lingfu's big battle, the plan to go deep behind enemy lines and cut off the enemy's retreat, can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 586: Helicopters join the war

    However, Zhang Xinghan also knows that once the helicopter comes out ahead of schedule and achieves great results, it is likely to directly stimulate earth-shaking reforms in the current field of military combat aircraft.  In fact, the developer of the R-4 helicopter, Igor Sikorsky, an awesome figure who immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union, is also conducting various experiments related to the initial development of helicopters.  Once the R-4 comes out, who can be sure whether the genius Eagle Sikorsky will be inspired to help the US military develop a real military helicopter.  Of course, you may think that Zhang Xinghan’s worries are somewhat unnecessary. Even if the Americans learn of the existence of this new aircraft, without drawings, specific information, or prototypes, it is basically impossible to imitate it.  "However, anything can happen on the battlefield. Moreover, this first generation of military helicopters is still in its primitive stage, and various technologies are far from perfect.  The possibility of crashing or being shot down by enemy forces is very real.  Therefore, after much deliberation, Zhang Xinghan finally decided to use helicopters, but only for the purpose of transporting troops. Unless absolutely necessary, the helicopter troops will not participate in ground attacks for the time being.  This is also to maintain the mystery of the rapid and large-scale assembly of our own troops and to deter the British, American, French and other armies.  Of course, this is the first time that R-4 helicopters have been used in actual combat, and Zhang Xinghan also wanted to test their reliability.  After making the decision, Zhang Xinghan said to Bai Chongxi: "I have a way to solve this problem." "Commissioner, do you have a way?" Bai Chongxi was surprised. Could it be that he was hiding another airborne force?  Sure enough, he saw Zhang Xinghan pretending to be a mysterious smile and said: "Well, the mountain man has his own clever plan. Brother Jiansheng will know it soon. Let's end the meeting here for today." Seeing that Zhang Xinghan intended to keep it secret, Bai Chongxi did not ask further questions. He stood up and saluted.  , said goodbye respectfully and left.  After watching Bai Chongxi leave.  Jiang Baili, who had said nothing just now, said: "Commissioner, do you plan to use the new air force to participate in the war in advance?".  Zhang Xinghan nodded and told Jiang Baili his inner plan. There was no need for him to hide these things from Jiang Baili.  After Jiang Baili listened, he nodded happily and said: "Well, the committee has thought carefully about it. I think it is feasible. In this way, the more than 100,000 elite US troops gathered on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar will be unable to escape." "It's not that simple. This one  The war also relies on the bloody fighting of the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Central Army. Only by working together can we have a chance to win. Otherwise, if we do not defeat the U.S. Army and are defeated by the U.S. Army, the entire Southwest will be in danger!"  Zhang Xinghan said lightly worriedly.  "The committee has been filtered. You will be in charge of Kunming. Who dares not to stay alert and move forward in the southwest border defense force?" Jiang Baili pointedly said: "What's more, Liu Xiang, Long Yun, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others are also here.  Kunming." "That's right." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "Let him make preparations. I agree." "Baoshan County, military airport.  Thousands of soldiers from one of the two divisions brought by Zhang Lingfu placed tight security on this small military airport.  Zhang Lingfu, accompanied by Tang Huaiyuan and Du Yuming, was standing in the open space of the airport, waiting for something.  Although the three of them whispered to each other from time to time.  But there was no sign of impatience.  Suddenly, a harsh roar came from high in the distance.  Zhang Lingfu and Du Yuming immediately raised their heads and looked up. Unable to see clearly, they raised their binoculars again.  They saw a group of new aircraft in the sky that they had never seen before, flying towards the airport from far and near.  As the distance got closer, the three of them discovered that there were huge propellers on the top of these planes that were spinning rapidly.  That huge roar is the sound of the propeller breaking through the air.  What is even more surprising is that these aircraft did not dive down like the previous aircraft, but directly landed vertically and slowly.  Zhang Lingfu immediately saw the convenience of this new aircraft. This should be the method of transporting troops mentioned by the commission. With these new aircraft, I can perfectly complete this huge encirclement and annihilation battle.     Very good.  Zhang Lingfu was secretly happy. Du Yuming and Tang Huaiyuan looked at each other and asked: "Brother Lingfu, what kind of plane is this? Why have I never seen it before?" "This is the latest military helicopter equipped by our army. It is the largest  The characteristic is that it can take off and land vertically at any location, of course, some narrow valleys, rivers and dense forests are not like this." ZhangLingfu paused extremely happily and continued: "With it, our combat plan can be implemented this time." Du Yuming carefully looked at the landing process of these new aircraft, and immediately praised: "I understand.  "Yes, this is really a new battlefield weapon. With it, we can deploy troops to predetermined locations in a very short time and support any place on the battlefield that needs reinforcements as quickly as possible." Tang Huaiyuan seemed to understand.  Fei nodded understandingly.  This is when a young officer wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general jumped out of a helicopter, followed by several pilots.  Walking towards Zhang Lingfu and the others, Zhang Lingfu and the others knew that this should be the commander of this new air force.  hurriedly moved forward to greet him.  As soon as the two sides met, they stood at attention and saluted each other.  "I am Zhang Xinghua, deputy commander of the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army and commander of the Army Aviation Flight Group, colleagues, it is a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Xinghua took the lead in speaking.  "Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming, and Tang Huaiyuan, it turns out that they are the worthy brothers of the Chairman. I have long admired the general's name." The three of them said in unison.  After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhang Xinghua turned around and pointed at the group of helicopters behind him that had all completed their landing: "Brother Lingfu, I have been instructed by you before I came here. You will have full command of this battle. We need to do something next."  "What, please don't be polite, just give me the order." Zhang Lingfu admired the Zhang brothers very much. Although they were younger than him, they could stand up when the country was in crisis and the nation was in crisis.  And then they became national heroes that attracted worldwide attention and were respected by thousands of people. Their tragic deeds are worthy of respect.  Although Zhang Xinghua was a highly respected minister, he did not show any arrogance and acted directly and swiftly. Zhang Lingfu's first impression of him was much better than that of the senior generals who surrounded Mr. Jiang in the National Government in the past.  So, he immediately nodded in appreciation and said: "General Zhang, you have worked hard all the way. You should rest for a few days. After our army's follow-up troops are in place, I will arrange tasks for you." "Yes!" Zhang Xinghua immediately stood up and saluted.  ………… Five days passed in a row, but the US military did not attack again. Instead, it launched a chaotic shelling of the Songshan defense line from time to time without the slightest pattern every day.  After each shelling, they did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.  For five days in a row, the soldiers of the Yunnan Army became accustomed to hiding in the dug holes and air-raid shelters as soon as the U.S. military shelled them.  After the bombardment, he came out again, but his expression was not as nervous and vigilant as before.  After many people got out of the bunker and entered the trench, they just leaned in the trench with their guns in hand and closed their eyes to rest. Only the elite paratroopers brought by Wang Dafei still maintained sufficient vigilance.  As soon as they came out of the fortifications, they quickly entered the combat position and state, with their guns aimed forward at all times. Once the US military attacked, they could immediately open fire to block it.  In the headquarters halfway up the mountain.  Cun Xingqi lost his composure and said to Wang Dafei: "Brother Wang, this is really strange. We were ordered to stand on the spot and not take the initiative. How come this Yankee still has a tacit understanding with us?"  , there has been no movement for several days? "Are they planning some conspiracy?" "I can't guess this, but now a large number of our reinforcements have arrived on the east bank of the Nu River, and they can cross the river for reinforcements at any time.  Stopping the attack may be related to this," Wang Dafei analyzed.  "You mean, the US military is afraid of the arrival of our main force, so it is holding back?" Cun Xingqi asked.  Wang Dafei shook his head, "I can't make a judgment on this, but since our army's reinforcements arrived, they also stayed on the east bank. They neither crossed the river to counterattack the US troops nor reinforced us. The intention of going up to the peak is quite intriguing.  Ah." (To be continued)

    "How about I send a message to the elder Tang Huaiyuan to ask?" Cun Xingqi couldn't help but asked.  Wang Dafei said with some surprise: "This is not good. Shangfeng has its own decisions and plans. Are we asking questions randomly?" Cun Xingqi smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's okay. Tang Huaiyuan and I are both superiors and subordinates.  I'm a close friend. Ask him what his next plan is. With our friendship, he will definitely tell me, so that we can be mentally prepared in advance." After saying that, Cun Xingqi stood up and went straight to the phone.  Go and call the old chief in person.  Unexpectedly, the call was connected. After saying a few words, Cun Xing, who had been smiling just now, had black lines all over his face. He hung up the phone with a look of disgrace, turned to Wang Dafei, who was looking at him, and said with a smile: "Well, Tang Jun  He said that the command of this battle was no longer in his hands, so he didn't know what he was going to do at the top." Wang Dafei nodded, holding back his laughter and didn't ask any more questions.  Unexpectedly, at this time, the phone suddenly rang. Cun Xingqi, who had just stepped forward, turned back. When he picked up the phone, he heard Tang Huaiyuan's voice. He asked in surprise: "Old Tang, what's the matter? Is there any news again?  ?" Tang Huaiyuan's voice was still lukewarm: "Lao Cun, what's the news? Where is Wang Dafei, the leader of the Second Airborne Regiment?" Cun Xingqi nodded quickly and said:  "Yes, right next to me." "Oh, then let him answer the phone." Tang Huaiyuan's voice was still very official and formal, not at all like the tone that old friends should have.  Cun Xingqi turned around depressedly and waved his hand towards Wang Dafei who was sitting upright, waiting for him to come to him.  Handed him the phone.  "Hello, humble Wang Dafei. Please give me your instructions, sir." Wang Dafei didn't know what he wanted from Shangfeng, so he said in a very decent manner.  Tang Huaiyuan on the other end of the phone said "wait a minute" and handed the phone to Zhang Xinghua who was standing aside.  Zhang Xinghua answered the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Xinghua." When Wang Dafei heard the voice of the deputy commander, he straightened his body involuntarily, with a respectful and nervous look on his face, and said: "Deputy, I am here to serve you. Please give me your instructions.  "His airborne troops are all from the Air Force. Although they are now organizationally independent from the Air Force, they are actually integrated with the Air Force.  Wang Dafei never expected that General Zhang Xinghan, deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force and brother of Chairman Zhang, would come to the front line and talk to him on the phone in person.  Therefore, one can imagine how excited he is at this moment.  Zhang Xinghua said in a serious tone: "Now you have to keep everything I say in mind. But you can't reveal it to anyone, do you understand?" "Yes, I understand!" Wang Dafei said solemnly.  In an hour, an infantry regiment of the Central Army will cross the river and take over your regiment to station at the Songshan Defense Line.  After they arrive and hand over the defense, you immediately lead all the personnel of the Second Airborne Regiment and prepare to return to the east coast.  I have arranged a car to pick you up and come to Baoshan County Air Force Base to be on standby!  Don’t ask too many questions, you will know your mission once you arrive.  "After Zhang Xinghua finished speaking. Wang Dafei on the other end of the phone quickly raised his chest and assured: "Yes, I understand the humble position!  " After saying that, he hung up the phone. Cun Xingqi on the side was confused. He asked curiously: "Brother Wang, what's going on?  " " General Cun.  Please excuse me for having no comment!  "Wang Dafei felt that this was a bit embarrassing for Cun Xingqi, so he changed his tone and said: "But there is one thing, the humble position is enough to inform the general that troops will soon come to take over our defense, and our regiment is leaving.  " "Shangfeng wants to transfer you guys away?"  "Cun Xingqi was surprised. Wang Dafei nodded, and then said: "General, it is a great honor for me to fight side by side with you and the brothers of the 34th Brigade. All the soldiers of the Second Airborne Regiment will never forget it.  We have fought against the invasion of the American devils together in this Songshan Fortress.  Okay, I have to go gather my troops now. Goodbye.  " Cun Xingqi also hurriedly recovered from the shock, and saluted with some reluctance: "Brother, I hope we can have the opportunity to meet again in the future.  "    "Um!  "Wang Dafei nodded and said: "Maybe we will have the opportunity to fight together in the future and kill the American devils together.  ” …………… Not long after Wang Dafei assembled his troops, an infantry regiment of the Central Army crossed the shore and went up to Songshan. After the handover between the two sides was completed, he immediately led the entire regiment to cross the Nu River eastward without stopping. After landing on the shore,  , and found that there were already a large number of military trucks waiting for them to get on board. The convoy was carrying these Chinese people who had just retreated from the front line of fire.The soldiers, one of the nation's most elite soldiers, headed towards Baoshan County.  Due to the extremely poor traffic conditions in the southwest, it took them more than four hours to get from the east bank of the Nu River to Baoshan County.  We set off at noon, and when we arrived it was already dusk. The sun was setting in the west, and the soft sunset glow made people feel relaxed and happy.  Wang Dafei didn't care to appreciate the beautiful sunset. As soon as the motorcade stopped, he jumped out of the car and yelled at the sleeping subordinates who had not had a good rest for many days to get off the car.  Under his scolding, more than two thousand officers and soldiers woke up one after another and jumped out of the car one after another.  Quickly began to gather in the open space next to the motorcade.  Not long after, the ten columns were completed.  Wang Dafei then had time to look at the surrounding environment, and he discovered that there was an airport in front of him on the right.  At this time, a military jeep drove out from the airport ahead.  As the jeep approached, he clearly saw that the person sitting in the co-pilot was none other than Air Force Deputy Commander Zhang Xinghua, whom he had met many times before.  He quickly straightened his body, turned his head and shouted: "Sir is here, please cheer me up!" When the soldiers who were still taking a rest heard his shout, they immediately cheered up and held their heads high.  Stand with your chest straight like a cypress.  "Creak!" With a rapid braking sound, Zhang Xinghua jumped out of the military jeep.  Wearing military uniform and leather boots, he looked majestic and heroic.  After getting off the car, Wang Dafei hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted him: "Vice-seat, I am under the command of Wang Dafei and his troops to report here, please give me instructions!" Zhang Xinghua saluted him with a military salute in return, with a look of approval in his eyes, and then turned to look at  Paratroopers waiting in formation.  He said sternly: "Brothers, now there is a dangerous but extremely glorious mission to be entrusted to you. I want to ask everyone, do you dare to carry it out?" Paratroopers including Wang Dafei are all real elites who have fought in every battle.  , the most elite iron-blooded veteran of the Chinese nation, what kind of mountains of swords and seas of fire have not been there?  Hearing Zhang Xinghua ask him this, if this person was not the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force with a great background, these arrogant and powerful soldiers might have already rushed up to answer him with their fists.  As a result, more than two thousand elite tiger and wolf divisions responded to Zhang Xinghua almost in unison: "Please give the order, sir. No one dares to disobey!" Seeing the momentum of the elite paratroopers, Zhang Xinghua couldn't help but admire him, and immediately said loudly  : "Very good, then I will tell you, your mission goal this time, which is to launch a surprise airborne attack on Myitkyina, and work with the third airborne regiment to cut off the US military's retreat. " Win the victory for our army to completely annihilate all the US military on the Yunnan-Myanmar border.  Time. This battle is bound to be extremely dangerous. You will be in a desperate situation surrounded by enemies. Many of you may die, or you may all die. But, whether you are alive or dead, this battle is yours.  You have proved to the world that you are the most elite and outstanding soldiers in the world today, and you will also use your lives and blood to fulfill the National Revolutionary Army’s unswerving commitment to protect our country and our country.  , For the sake of the great Commander-in-Chief Zhang, you must fight the enemy till the end!” “Defend your home and country, fight to the end, and fight to the death!”  "Defend our home and country, fight to the bitter end, and fight to the death!" More than two thousand soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, sonorous, powerful, and inspiring.  With a wave of Zhang Xinghua's hand, Wang Dafei led these elites from all battles to swarm into the airport and boarded the hundreds of R-4 military helicopters that had been waiting for a long time.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 588: Capture of Myitkyina

    Myitkyina is an important town on the northern border of Myanmar and the capital of Kachin State.  Located on the west bank of the Malikai River, an upper tributary of the Irrawaddy River, it is the most important river port in northern Myanmar.  It is located in the northern mountainous and hilly area.  Since this is the northern terminus of railways, roads, and rivers in Myanmar, its strategic location is extremely important.  After 100,000 U.S. troops arrived at the Yunnan-Myanmar border, since the railway ended here, a large amount of military supplies were transported here, and then transported to the front line by cars and other means of transportation.  Naturally, this place became a material transfer station for the US military. As a result, the US military deployed a mechanized infantry regiment and an air defense battalion here.  Mengong (today’s Moggang) and Jiamai, less than 50 kilometers away from Myitkyina, also had a regiment of British and American troops stationed respectively.  The three places are at an angle to each other along the Mengong River Valley, so the deployment of troops is foolproof.  “ Moreover, the terrain here is complex, with steep mountains and dense jungles. Without the support of ground troops, airborne operations are very difficult.  Therefore, although the US military knew that the Chinese Army already had an organic airborne force at this time, it was not too worried.  After the British and American troops in the above three areas dispatched a small number of air defense patrol units in each major area, the main forces relaxed their vigilance.  The American soldiers in Myitkyina even went to the city to visit brothels for prostitution and entertainment during their holidays, and gambling was everywhere.  There is absolutely no atmosphere that should be expected during the war, but it is no wonder that this place is five or six hundred miles away from the front line. There are many mountains on the way and the virgin forest stretches as far as the eye can see.  There are more than 100,000 troops standing in front.  The U.S. military naturally regards this as an extremely safe rear area.  However, no one in the U.S. military could have imagined this.  The Chinese ** team will really have a surprise force descend from the sky, and the way of airborne landing is also unexpected by them.  At about three o'clock in the afternoon that day, after several hours of flight, hundreds of R-4 helicopters carried by more than 2,000 soldiers of Wang Dafei's airborne regiment were escorted by a group of Zero fighter jets flying at low speed.  Finally, we flew to a hilly area about five kilometers northwest of Myitkyina West Airport.  Although the overall terrain here is hilly, the steep mountains and dense vegetation in the mountains are conducive to helicopter takeoff and landing.  Soon, the first batch of one hundred helicopters each looked for a suitable landing place to land, and groups of elite Chinese paratroopers with live ammunition landed one after another.  Quickly began to assemble, and sent small groups of security troops to spread out to provide warning.  Everything seemed exceptionally orderly, which is what an elite force should behave like.  At the back, in order to save time, the paratroopers tied ropes to the helicopter and did not wait for the helicopter to land.  They all carried out hovering and air landing.  About an hour later, more than two thousand elite ace paratroopers finally completed their assembly.  Wang Dafei immediately sent the first battalion as the forward, and the second and third battalions as the left and right wings, heading towards the Myitkyina West Airport.  At the same time, the first battalion commander sent a search forward platoon.  Located at the front of the entire regiment, he is responsible for clearing out any lone enemy troops that may be encountered and clearing the way forward for the entire regiment.  As time went by, Wang Dafei discovered that the troop's progress was much smoother than expected.  Using the cover of the woods, they quickly reached the northwest direction of the West Airport.  On the way, not even a single shadow of the US military was found.  Don’t hesitate.  Wang Dafei immediately ordered the first battalion to attack from the front, and the second and third battalions outflanked the two wings and launched a sudden attack on the airport.  A platoon from the first battalion rushed to the front. Most of the paratroopers carried the most advanced MP38 German submachine guns, rushed to the outside of the approach, and fired fiercely at several US military towers.  Several American soldiers standing guard on the tower fell down before they could see clearly where the bullets were coming from.  ??Chinese paratroopers suddenly appeared on the periphery of the airport like a tide. Each submachine gun formed a powerful assault firepower and launched a direct and violent attack on the airport.  The U.S. soldiers and pilots stationed at the airport ran out in panic when they heard the gunshots, but they had no time to organize a decent resistance. The roundabout troops of the 23rd Paratrooper Battalion rushed in from other directions.  The U.S. military was surrounded by enemies on three sides. Under intensive firepower, it quickly suffered all casualties. Some pilots and ground crews reluctantly surrendered.  After effortlessly capturing the airport, which was laxly defended by the US military, Wang Dafei ordered the communications troops to report to Zhang Xinghua who was far away in Baoshan County.  While leaving one battalion to guard the airport, he personally led the second and third battalions and the guard company to take the opportunity to attack the city of Myitkyina.  At this time, many U.S. troops on vacation were either in brothels or gambling houses.?Shopping.  In vain, they were alerted by the gunfire from the direction of Myitkyina. On the streets, American soldiers hurried back to assemble, Burmese merchants and traffickers running in panic, the streets were crowded and chaotic, and the entire Myitkyina turned into a mess.  It must be said that Wang Dafei is an excellent and experienced commander. The task Zhang Xinghua gave him was to capture the Myitkyina airport first and clear the way for subsequent airborne troops.  Afterwards, a large-scale airlift was carried out by the C-47 transport aircraft group to airlift reinforcements and various heavy weapons required for siege warfare to Myitkyina.  However, during the attack on the airport, Wang Dafei was keenly aware of the low vigilance and slack defense of the US military, and he immediately changed the combat plan without authorization.  Leaving one battalion to defend the airport, he personally led the main force of the entire regiment to immediately launch an attack on the city of Myitkyina.  Although it was risky, he took the right risk.  In addition to encountering a US military detachment that happened to be patrolling here in the direction of the attack train station, the attacking troops engaged in a completely asymmetrical fierce battle and eliminated this detachment.  The offensive was basically overwhelming and very smooth.  In Myitkyina City, the U.S. Army City Defense Headquarters.  A U.S. military colonel was walking back and forth anxiously. The sudden attack panicked the U.S. military commander who was talking to his confidential female secretary Zuo Ai.  When he put on his pants and rushed back to the headquarters in a panic, his staff and adjutants told him how bad the situation was.  "Immediately send power to the friendly forces in Jiamai and Mengong for support, and also send power to the Mandalay headquarters. We need support, we need support!" the US military colonel roared almost like a madman.  Several adjutants took the order and left in panic.  "Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese ** team has captured the airport and train station, and is now advancing into the city. We may not be able to hold on." A US Army lieutenant colonel said worriedly.  "Asshole, I don't think I need to tell you how important the strategic location of Myitkyina is? How did these damn Chinese soldiers arrive? Why didn't our security forces notice it? Why?" the US military colonel roared angrily,  Like a beast on the verge of extinction.  "Brothers, the front is Myitkyina. If we capture this place, we can cut off the Yankees' retreat and make immortal contributions! It's time to serve the principal, and it's time for the Yankees to appreciate the spirit of our Longxing Army!"  Charge!" A company commander, a captain from Longxing Military Academy, held a submachine gun in one hand and raised his arms with emotion in the other.  The hundreds of paratroopers around him immediately quickened their pace. Groups of three covered each other with assault fire and quickly advanced towards the city.  In the city, US troops were constantly squeezing out of the chaotic crowd to resist the attack of the Chinese paratroopers.  But the number of US troops was like adding fuel, arriving in batches one after another. As a result, they, who did not have the advantage in strength, were defeated steadily by this group of Asia's most elite paratroopers.  In less than an hour, the Chinese army was pressed to the south of the city. At this time, the US military had lost two-thirds of the entire city of Myitkyina.  A mechanized infantry regiment was almost completely lost. Before the air defense battalion could even fire, Wang Dafei's guard company took advantage of the chaos and seized a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, which became a powerful weapon for the Chinese ** team to attack the US military.  Seeing that the situation was over, the colonel commander reluctantly led hundreds of remnants to withdraw from Myitkyina and fled southwest along the river.  Wang Dafei ordered the troops to pursue for a certain distance, then stopped the pursuit, gathered the troops and began to repair their positions in preparation for holding Myitkyina.  PS: There will be another chapter later.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 589: Air Raid on Lashio

    Myitkyina, inside the former US military headquarters.  There were two tall and powerful paratroopers with live ammunition standing on each side of the door. The US military flag on the door wall was also replaced by the blue sky and white sun flag.  Wang Dafei walked in here wearing a pair of big black leather boots accompanied by his adjutant.  Looking at the messy US military headquarters, Wang Dafei sneered: "Humph, it seems that the Americans are quite scared by us." The adjutant also laughed and said: "Yeah, but Americans still have a strong sense of confidentiality.  , you see, many documents and maps have been burned. "Ignore this, immediately order the troops to step up the defense line from the railway station, airport to the city. We must seize the time to build the defense line to prevent the US military from counterattack."  He put away his smile and ordered seriously.  Just as the adjutant was about to respond, a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander hurried in from outside.  When he saw Wang Dafei, he didn't have time to salute and said: "Regiment leader, brothers, we don't have enough manpower to build the position. I would like to ask for permission. Can the thousands of American soldiers we captured be used as free labor to work for us?" Wang Dafei said immediately  : "Do you even need to fucking ask? Of course you can, but you must take precautions and not let them escape. In addition, if there are not enough manpower, just arrest them from the city. As long as they are able to work, leave them alone.  Men and women, young and old, were all brought to build fortifications outside the city. ""Commander, is this inappropriate?" The lieutenant colonel and battalion commander was a college student before he joined the army, and he captured prisoners as laborers.  It was the limit of what he could think of.  This is to capture civilians, even civilians from other countries, as laborers.  He hadn't thought about it yet.  "What's wrong? It's important to fight now, who the hell cares about this. Besides, the Burmese monkeys in this city are in the same nostril as the British, American and French invaders. During the Songshan Defense Battle, the Burmese servant army participated in the attack. We  Why should you be soft-hearted to them? They are not our fellow villagers. Tell the brothers below to let go and catch them. If anyone dares to disobey, shoot a few of them on the spot. None of these Burmese monkeys are afraid of the weak.  Things." Wang Dafei doesn't care about that much.  Although like this lieutenant colonel and his subordinates, he also went to Longxing Military Academy for further training.  But having grown up as a veteran, he obviously doesn’t have so much kindness for women.  "Yes!" Seeing that the regimental commander had said so, the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander stopped nagging, saluted and turned to leave.  ………… Baoshan Airport.  Zhang Xinghua, Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming and others had just bid farewell to the first batch of reinforcements and boarded a plane to fly to Myitkyina.  A communications adjutant rushed to the airport in a hurry.  Reported to Zhang Lingfu and Zhang Xinghua: "Sir, the Second Airborne Regiment received an urgent call. They have captured Myitkyina and captured more than 1,000 enemy troops. They killed more than 1,300 people and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition. The Second Airborne Regiment is currently building a defense urgently.  The fortifications are in urgent need of reinforcements to prevent the US military from counterattacking." Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming and others were overjoyed when they heard this. Zhang Xinghua was also overjoyed and immediately said to the adjutant: "Call back to the Second Airborne Regiment immediately. The first batch of reinforcements has already arrived!  Let's set out and expect to arrive in two hours. Please stick to it and ensure that Myitkyina will not be lost again." Zhang Lingfu added: "I will send a message to commend the entire regiment in the name of the headquarters. They are all good.  "The awards and condolences will arrive later with the second batch of reinforcements." The adjutant took the order, and Du Yuming said with emotion: "Chairman Zhang's elite paratroopers are indeed ace troops. They actually captured the US military with just one regiment."  Such a heavily defended strategic location is really admirable! " Zhang Lingfu did not take Du Yuming's words, but said to Zhang Xinghua: "Brother Xinghua, Myitkyina has been captured, and Lashio should be next, right?  Well, the Third Airborne Regiment has been prepared. We just need to wait for the helicopter fleet to return before we can set off." After Zhang Xinghua finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "However, I'm afraid it's too late. If it gets dark, then the assault force will be launched.  The airborne landing will become extremely dangerous. The helicopter unit has just entered service and is not yet able to conduct night flights. I am afraid that it will have to wait until dawn tomorrow to carry out the operation.  We will definitely get the news of the fall of Myitkyina, so we can strengthen the defense. If the Third Airborne Regiment wants to take Lashio, they will probably have to attack by force. " "If there is no time, seize the airport first, and then carry out a large-scale airlift and mobilize enough.  The reinforcements stormed. As long as we can capture Lashio before the US troops on the Longling front line return to reinforcements, it will be worth the sacrifice we make." Zhang Xinghua is determined.Tao.  "It is not difficult to imagine that if the US military learns that both Myitkyina and Lashio have been captured by our army and their retreat is cut off, they will definitely counterattack with all their strength. Therefore, I believe that we will win this battle by holding these two places.  The key, and if you want to defend these two strategic locations isolated behind enemy lines, protecting the integrity of the airport is the top priority. Therefore, even if the two urban areas are lost, the airport and train station must be ensured." Du Yuming!  After the analysis, he paused and said: "Therefore, I suggest that the second batch of air transport troops to reinforce Lashio and Myitkyina should be served by Sun Liren's Tax Police Corps." "Tax Police Corps?" Zhang Xinghua didn't know much about Commissar Chiang's current situation.  This is the most elite force in Changshou.  Seeing this, Zhang Lingfu quickly explained from the side: "This tax police regiment is actually a division-level force, with a total of six regiments. All equipped with German equipment and well-trained, they are the elite troops of Mr. Jiang's direct line!" Zhang Lingfu paused.  He continued: "Brother Xinghua, although the two divisions I brought are elite mechanized infantry divisions, they have to take the lead in this frontal attack and serve as an example for the soldiers of the three armies. Therefore, General Du Yuming is willing to send tax troops.  It is a righteous move for the Police Corps to assume the task of reinforcing the troops. With the cooperation between the Tax Police Corps and the airborne troops, they will definitely be able to hold Myitkyina and Lashio and do their best to achieve the final victory in this battle.  Work hard. " "Oh! If that's the case, then follow what General Du Yuming said. If our airborne troops can join forces with the tax police regiment, we will definitely defeat the US military and return victoriously!" ………… Man  Dele, U.S. Army Command.  "General, something bad has happened. An airborne unit of the Chinese ** Corps suddenly attacked the Myitkyina Airport and the city. The 52nd Infantry Regiment failed to resist and was completely defeated. Now it has been forced to flee Myitkyina.  Escape toward Jamai!" Colonel Mick suppressed the fear in his heart and reported to MacArthur.  "What? What did you say?" MacArthur was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and the cigar in his mouth became unstable and fell to the ground.  "Myitkyina fell?" He hurried to the battle map. After checking it carefully, he pondered for a moment and suddenly exclaimed: "No, this is a conspiracy of the Chinese Army. Send electricity to Dai Jinen immediately.  He was ordered to immediately withdraw troops from the Longling front line and send emergency reinforcements to Myitkyina and Lashio. In addition, he was immediately ordered to attack by the Meng Gong and Jiamai garrison, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Chinese Army to launch an attack on Myitkyina.  Retake this place! Also, in the direction of Lashio, the defenders of Lashio and surrounding areas must be strictly ordered to be more vigilant and take strict precautions. The Chinese ** team is likely to launch an airborne raid here if Lashio falls into the center again.  With the hands of the * troops, the connection between our frontline troops and the rear will be cut off, and that will never be allowed to happen. " Mick quickly wrote them down one by one and took the order.  MacArthur looked at the map and murmured to himself: "Is the Chinese Army overestimating its capabilities and trying to eat my 100,000 troops in one fell swoop? Humph, I'm afraid you don't have such a good appetite!" MacArthur didn't expect it.  The intention of the ** team was just that at this moment, his 100,000 troops had no vitality left at all. The reason why they stopped attacking was because they did not want to cause unnecessary casualties.  "However, it would be different if the Chinese army dared to take the initiative and attack the US military.  Leaving the steep and solid defensive position, the Chinese troops will be hit head-on by the powerful firepower of the US mechanized troops.  Therefore, MacArthur now hopes that the Chinese army will take the initiative to attack as soon as possible.  Of course, before that, he must recapture Myitkyina and ensure that Lashio is not lost.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 590: Risky Attack

    However, there was one point that MacArthur did not pay enough attention to.  That is why the Chinese ** team was able to airdrop a large number of elite troops to the vicinity of Myitkyina in such a short period of time without anyone noticing.  MacArthur thought this was due to the garrison garrisoned in Myitkyina neglecting their duties and being lax in their vigilance.  He did not expect that the Chinese ** squadron already had helicopters, a transcendent high-tech equipment, otherwise he would immediately order Dai Jinen's entire army to retreat.  …………… Lashio is an important military, political, economic and transportation town in northern Shan State, and also an important gateway to northern Myanmar.  It is located in the northeast of Mandalay and on a small ridge in the upper reaches of the Nanma River, with an altitude of 860 meters.  It is 289 kilometers away from Mandalay and 185 kilometers away from the Yunnan border of China.  As early as 1903, the railway from Mandalay to Lashio was opened.  Therefore, here and Myitkyina are the two strategic material transfer stations and important bases for the US military to attack China's southwest border defense.  After Myitkyina was attacked and fell, MacArthur's emergency message quickly reached the hands of the commander of the Lashio garrison.  Because it is closer to the Chinese border, the British and American coalition forces left a little more troops here than in Myitkyina.  Stationed in Lashio City and the train station is a reinforced regiment of the US military. This reinforced regiment has four infantry battalions and one air defense battalion.  After receiving MacArthur's emergency military order, the defenders transferred a battalion near Lashio.  The troop strength has been increased to six battalions. In addition, the garrison at Xingwei and Nandu are also being ordered to urgently gather reinforcements in the direction of Lashio.  Therefore, it is impossible for the Chinese *** team to imagine that it is as easy to capture Myitkyina.  At Baoshan County and the airport, it was as Zhang Xinghua expected, because the flying speed of helicopters was not that of transport planes and fighter jets, and it was their first time to perform a combat mission.  Pilots don’t dare to fly too fast.  To prevent unpredictable accidents.  It was not until six o'clock in the evening that the helicopter fleet arrived at Baoshan Airport belatedly.  While the helicopter was replenishing fuel and other supplies, Zhang Xinghua, Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming, Tang Huaiyuan and others gathered together to launch emergency consultations.  "What should we do? Flying at night is definitely difficult and dangerous. Do we still want the Army Aviation Force to risk taking off to transport the Third Airborne Regiment?" Zhang Xinghua looked at Zhang Lingfu and others and asked.  Du Yuming frowned and said: "Myitkyina has been captured by our army. It is impossible for the US military to strengthen the defense of the Lashio area. As a result, it is impossible to easily capture this place. However. If the US military wants to attack from other areas,  It will take time to mobilize reinforcements to strengthen the defense force in the Lashio area. In other words, if we do not attack tonight, then the U.S. reinforcements from around Lashio may arrive after dawn tomorrow. Then the attack will be difficult.  If the magnitude increases, the Battle of Lashio may turn into a real head-to-head battle. " "But is it possible to fly at night?" Zhang Lingfu looked at Zhang Xinghua inquiringly.  "At present, our helicopter is only the first in the world, and there are still many functions that need to be improved. Strictly speaking, it does not have the ability to fly at night. However, the Zero fighter has the ability to fly at night, but the airdrop location is not suitable for night operations.  It's so easy to find." Zhang Xinghua was a little confused.  Zhang Lingfu pondered for a moment.  Suddenly said: "Brother Xinghua, do you think this will work? Your airborne troops are all good players. When they are ready to land, let them hang ropes to launch signal flares to the ground. This can effectively prevent the signal flares from being too high and being blocked by the enemy.  The army discovered that it was possible to survey the terrain below to see if it was possible to land." He paused.  Zhang Lingfu added: "In other words, even if the US military discovers our whereabouts, we are not afraid, because the US military is already prepared, and our attack tonight will definitely be a force attack. But even if it is a force attack, it will be worse than waiting for the surrounding Lashio area after tomorrow.  It will be much easier after all the US military reinforcements arrive. " Zhang Xinghua nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. Let's do this. In order to ensure the success of this airborne night attack, I decided to fly the fighter plane myself.  The aviation force will escort and guide the way, and try to avoid being discovered by the US military, so as to achieve the effect of surprising and unprepared attacks and increase our army's chances of winning as much as possible." "Brother Xinghua, go in person.  Is it too dangerous?" Zhang Lingfu asked worriedly.  Zhang Xinghua waved his hand and said: "It's okay, as long as I'm here, both the fighter pilots and the soldiers of the Army Aviation and Airborne Forces will feel much more at ease, and I can also boost their morale. "Generals don't have to worry about my personal safety. As a soldier, Zhang Xinghua is already prepared to sacrifice his life for the country at any time.  Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming and others said in awe, "The general understands the righteousness and is truly a role model for our generation of soldiers."  " Du Yuming even said: "Tomorrow's reinforcements will be led by Du Yuming personally, and Sun Liren will each lead a force to support Myitkyina and Lashio respectively. I vow to share weal and woe with the frontline soldiers and live and die together!  " Kunming City, Zhang Xinghan's temporary base. "Commissioner, General Zhang Lingfu called again, and they decided to take the risk to attack Lashio at night.  "Guo Zhong handed a piece of telegram to Zhang Xinghanhui, who was discussing the military situation with Jiang Baili. After Zhang Xinghan took the telegram and read it again, he nodded happily and said: "Lingfu and Xinghua made the right decision. They carried out the airborne landing overnight.  Although the risk has increased, success is not impossible.  In this way, we can launch an attack on Lashio before the U.S. military reinforcements arrive. Moreover, at night, the U.S. military must think that our troops cannot be airborne and relax their vigilance. There is still a high possibility of success.  "Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner, now that Myitkyina has been taken, there is no problem with Lashio. It is time to launch a counterattack against the US military, lest MacArthur comes back to his senses and desperately orders the main force of the US military to flee in advance. In that case, our army wants to  Chasing is much more difficult.  " "Well, I have ordered Long Yun to mobilize the Yunnan Army's garrisons to the Nujiang front line. Liu Xiang's Sichuan Army and the more than 200,000 Central Army led by Hu Zongnan are also advancing.  All assembly will be completed within a week at the latest.  Zhang Xinghan nodded and said, "However, what you said makes sense. In order to prevent the Americans from escaping early, after the battle against Lashio started, Zhang Lingfu and Du Yuming were ordered to immediately command their troops to launch a small attack on the US troops in Tengchong and Longling areas."  A massive counterattack. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of control the main force of the Americans, and then wait until it hurts.  " After saying that, he waved his hand to Guo Zhong to generate electricity. Guo Zhong lowered his head and accepted the order and left. Zhang Xinghan turned around and looked at the night outside the window. He walked to the window and looked at the stars in the sky and said to Jiang Baili: "I hope we can get there before Burma.  End this battle before the northern rainy season arrives, otherwise, once the heavy rain arrives, many unpredictable changes will occur to the situation.  " Jiang Baili walked over, also looked up at the stars, and murmured: "Indochina Peninsula is mostly tropical rainforest, and the rainy season usually comes earlier than in our country, and it is more frequent and lasts longer.  We have to speed up the progress of the battle. I hope God will bless it and it won’t rain in the past month.  "  At Baoshan Airport, Zhang Xinghua has changed into a pilot uniform. Zhang Lingfu, Du Yuming, Tang Huaiyuan and others personally practiced it for him. "Brother, you must take care. General Du, General Tang and I are here to wait for your triumphant return!  "Zhang Lingfu held Zhang Xinghua's hand with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other and said sincerely. "Well, don't worry, dear friends!  Our army will win this battle!  "After Zhang Xinghua finished speaking, he turned around and took the lead in boarding the fighter plane. The other pilots also boarded the plane one after another, and the elite paratroopers of the Third Airborne Regiment also began to board the plane in silence. Not long after, the Zero fighter piloted by Zhang Xinghua was the first one.  After successfully taking off, they began to circle back and forth in the airspace above the airport, waiting for their comrades to gather. Soon, the second, third all fighter jets and helicopters of the Army Aviation Force took off one after another.  Leading dozens of Zero fighter jets in a flying geese formation, with all the helicopters behind him, they flew towards Lashio in the dark night sky. Zhang Xinghua's fighter plane was at the forefront of the entire flying formation, like a leader.  Like wild geese, they lead the entire formation to fly silently in the dark night.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 591: Capture of Lashio

    South of Lashio City, inside the US Army's City Defense Headquarters.  As soon as night fell, the lights were bright here, and Major General Mike Jr., the commander of the US military's city defense, was having dinner.  After the news of the fall of Myitkyina came, Major General Mike was really frightened. He quickly rectified the loose military discipline of the army and personally inspected and deployed to strengthen the defense of railway stations, airports and other places.  After going back and forth all day, I didn’t even bother to eat lunch. This made Little Mike, a big white man nearly two meters tall, very hungry.  He had eaten three bowls of fragrant Burmese fragrant rice, as well as a roast chicken and several plates of stir-fried dishes.  The adjutant and communications staff who were watching on duty swallowed involuntarily.  "Adjutant Lola!" After devouring another large bowl of rice, little Mike held the bowl in his big hands like leaf fans and handed it to the second lieutenant adjutant beside him without raising his head.  Lieutenant Laura quickly took the bowl, filled another bowl for him, and handed it to him.  After five full bowls of rice, Major General Mike burped. Second Lieutenant Roda, who had weak hands, quickly handed over the kettle. Little Mike took the kettle and guzzled it again.  Then he patted his belly with satisfaction, and Second Lieutenant Laura asked quickly: "General, are you still going to patrol in the evening?"  I am still very tired, especially my legs and feet are so sore.  When he thought of the rugged and difficult roads around Lashio, little Mike retreated.  After a pause, he said: "It is night now. The Chinese air force should not have the ability to carry out airborne attacks at night. So I will not go on patrol. However, we must also call the garrisons at train stations, airports and other places to urge them.  You must be vigilant, just in case." "Yes, I understand, I'll go right away." Second Lieutenant Laura couldn't help but wanted to rest early, so when he heard what Major General Mike said, he was overjoyed.  He ran to make a phone call to deliver the order.  Since the U.S. military has always regarded this place as a safe rear area, the U.S. officers and soldiers stationed here are used to being lazy.  ??In addition, snakes and insects that have traveled across the ocean from North America to northern Myanmar are infested.  In this unbearably hot place, the American officers and soldiers were full of complaints.  I don’t know what happened today. Little General Mike, who usually plays, drinks and has fun almost every night, suddenly arrived since the morning.  Commanding the troops to build fortifications and dig trenches, the U.S. military was restless.  After a day of hard work, the American officers and soldiers were as tired as dogs.  So although Little Mike conveyed the order over the phone, the troops did not take it seriously.  ??Same as Little Mike.  They all believe that even the US military does not have the ability to airdrop and land at night. How can the Chinese Navy, whose technological level is completely behind theirs, have this ability?  Therefore, Little Mike’s order to be vigilant at night was regarded as pure fart by US military officers and soldiers at train stations, airports and other places.  The commander pretended to arrange things aside, and then fell asleep.  Other junior officers of the US military are no exception.  Even the American soldiers who were unfortunately selected for patrol duty discovered that their companions and superiors had gone to find the daughter of Jesus to masturbate.  They also jumped into some trench fortifications, and soon there were bursts of snoring.  The whole of Lashio seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact it is in disarray.  Zhang Xinghua and a large number of airborne soldiers who came to risk a night attack did not know this.  When Zhang Xinghua guided and protected the army aircraft group loaded with airborne troops to fly to the airspace around Lashio, more than three hours had passed since their departure.  It's eleven o'clock at night.  At this time, most of the U.S. troops in the Lashio area fell into a sweet sleep.  Zhang Xinghua personally flew a fighter plane to search for the specific location of Lashio.  Because their aircraft did not have radar at this time.  So I have to search by myself.  “However, the lax US military has exposed a fatal weakness, which is the lack of bright searchlights at US military airports, train stations and city walls.  At the beginning of the period, Zhang Xinghua was flying too high and too fast, but he hadn't discovered it yet.  But when he flew around the airspace around Lashio with no results and slightly lowered his flight altitude, those searchlights that were extremely eye-catching in the dark night gave him the best guidance.  He immediately ordered the escort aircraft group and the army aircraft group that were hovering in the distance and on standby to quickly move closer to him.  Then look for a landing site in an area about five kilometers away from one of the searchlights.  Under Zhang Xinghua’s instructions, aThe R-4 helicopter lowered its flight altitude, and a skilled airborne soldier lowered the rope and fired several flares to the ground. After three attempts to find him.  They finally found a suitable location for the Army Aviation Force to land.  However, in order to save time, all the helicopters did not land to the bottom this time, but hovered in the air more than ten meters above the ground.  The highly skilled airborne troops climbed down vertically on ropes and quickly assembled on the ground.  Zhang Xinghua ordered the Army Air Force fleet to return immediately to transport reinforcements, while he led more than 20 Zero fighter jets to circle and fly to provide the correct direction for the ground troops.  “ Moreover, we are also prepared to provide them with fire support as much as possible to help them seize the US military’s airports and other defensive locations as soon as possible.  But what Zhang Xinghua and the ground airborne troops did not expect was that things developed much more smoothly than they expected.  The expected fierce battle did not happen. It was not until the paratroopers invaded the US military airport and fired out intensive gunfire that the US military resisted.  However, these weak resistance were quickly eliminated by the Chinese paratroopers with powerful firepower and fierce combat power.  After taking the airport without any effort, the ground troops continued to attack the city and the train station.  “At this time, the U.S. military in the direction of the train station had been alerted. Several middle-level and junior officers were running along the trench fortifications with pistols in hand and yelling at them. Their subordinates were preparing to meet the enemy.  Especially the air defense battalion deployed near the train station and the airport quickly prepared for battle, with searchlights emitting dazzling white light.  Shooting back and forth, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were all aimed forward. Once the enemy was discovered, this ferocious firepower would immediately give it the most violent head-on blow.  " However, these US air defense soldiers, who were armed with magic weapons, did not expect it.  A large group of Chinese fighter planes suddenly rushed out of the dark night sky. In the dark night, the two rains of bullets launched by the fighter planes roared in like two chains of fire.  "Ta-ta-ta-tapuff-puff-puff" The US air defense soldiers who were caught off guard were shot and fell down one after another.  "俅俅俅俅" Zhang Xinghua guided his subordinates to swoop down after a round of violent strafing with the help of US military searchlights, and dumped the 50-kilogram aerial bombs they carried onto the head of the US air defense battalion.  A 50-kilogram aerial bomb is as powerful as a naval gun with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters.  And more than twenty aerial bombs fell one after another, and the explosion produced was no different from the ferocious firepower of a cruiser.  The entire U.S. air defense battalion instantly exploded with a violent explosion, and a bunch of them rose to the ground, and the dazzling flames linked to each other enveloped and swallowed them all.  With just this round of strafing and bombing, this elite U.S. air defense battalion was completely wiped out.  The violent explosion also detonated the ammunition equipped by the US air defense battalion, and then an even more violent explosion occurred.  When little Mike was awakened by the gunshots and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom and into the courtyard of the headquarters, he happened to see the huge fire rising into the sky and heard the violent explosion that was enough to shake the earth.  His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he hurriedly turned around and said: "Adjutant Laura, contact me immediately, the air defense battalion and the first battalion, and ask what's going on and how many enemy troops there are" Little Mike hasn't finished speaking yet.  , there was suddenly a harsh roar of aircraft engines in the air above their heads, and they saw the aircraft flying over their heads making a circle.  It turned around and flew towards them again, and also launched two dazzling fire chains.  Major General Mike was shocked when he saw this: "Damn it, it's a Chinese plane!" Before he finished speaking, his huge body rushed to one side as quickly as a cheetah.  Second Lieutenant Laura also reacted very quickly and hurriedly rushed to one side.  "Da da da" A hail of hot bullets hit the bluestone floor in the yard, and the thick bluestone bricks were smashed to pieces.  Little Mike couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 592: Street Fighting

    "General, general, are you okay?" After Adjutant Laura saw the enemy plane leaving, he suddenly remembered Major General Mike and immediately ran towards him rolling and crawling.  In order to avoid the powerful airborne machine gun fire, little Mike ran directly into the door of a pigsty in the yard that was used by the Burmese to raise pigs.  Although he broke through the pig pen door and escaped, his head was bruised and bloody, and he was also covered in pig feces and urine. When Adjutant Laura rushed to him, he was covering his bleeding head.  Lying in the pigsty, wailing in pain.  Adjutant Laura quickly helped him up, turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Medical soldier, medical soldier, come here quickly, the general is injured." Two medical soldiers came in despite the intensive gunfire and artillery fire, and hurriedly  Bandage Little Mac to stop the bleeding.  Adjutant Laura asked nervously: "General, what should we do now?" "How are the directions to the airport and train station?" Little Mike asked, holding back the pain.  Adjutant Laura ran into the headquarters and quickly ran out again. He said with a panicked expression: "General, we can't contact the airport, the train station and the air defense battalion. It's very likely that they have been captured by the Chinese ** team."  When Mike heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but cursed the air defense battalion, the 1st Battalion and other troops for being a bunch of idiots.  "At this moment, a colonel officer ran in from outside. His face was gray and gray, and he looked panicked. It was obvious that he came under gunfire.  When he saw little Mike sitting on the ground, with a thick gauze wrapped around his head, he quickly came over and asked: "General, are you injured?" "I'm fine, how is the situation?" Little Mike waved his hand and asked hurriedly.  road.  The colonel officer was one of his regimental commanders, and he quickly replied: "The situation is not optimistic. The airport has been lost, the train station cannot withstand it, and the air defense battalion has been bombed and air raided by the Chinese Air Force, and the entire army has been wiped out.  The first battalion has also suffered heavy losses, and the second battalion has also suffered heavy losses. This is an elite force, and we may not be able to hold on for much longer." "Asshole, reinforcements, what are our reinforcements?  When will the time come?" Little Mike asked quickly, thinking that reinforcements were arriving from all around.  Adjutant Laura whispered from the side: "General, you don't know what the reinforcements from all over the country are like. It's night now. They must have stopped advancing and camped on the spot to rest." "Asshole. Send electricity to the reinforcements from all over the place immediately.  Inform them that Lashio has been attacked by the squadron at night and are in danger, and order them to come for reinforcements within three hours. Also, send a message to General MacArthur and inform him of the situation in Lashio, and he will then send a message to them.  We must not neglect the power generation to urge reinforcements from all walks of life," Little Mike ordered hurriedly.  "Yes, General." Adjutant Laura quickly turned around and ran into the telecommunications room.  At this moment.  The Air Force fighter planes led by Zhang Xinghua have caused huge casualties to the US military through a series of back-and-forth dives and strafing, especially psychological deterrence, which has made the US military even more chaotic.  The U.S. military, which suffered heavy losses due to the sudden attack, was panicked.  How could it withstand the fierce attack of more than a thousand elite Chinese tiger and wolf troops?  So, the ground troops took advantage of the situation to break through the US military's city defenses, entered the city, and started a fierce street battle with the US military.  Ground troops invaded the city.  The Air Force could no longer provide much effective support.  Zhang Xinghua reluctantly led his men back.  But the battle on the ground is far from over. Major General Mike is much more courageous and resourceful than the garrison commander in Myitkyina.  The key is that he is already a major general.  During the day, it was learned that Myitkyina had been lost, and MacArthur had strictly ordered him not to lose Lashio.  So, he understands the importance of this place.  "If Lashio is really lost in his hands, putting nearly 100,000 American troops on the front line in danger, it will not be as simple as just dismissing them.  Maybe in order to quell the anger of the American people, MacArthur and the President will sentence him to death to appease the people and scare the generals.  Therefore, even though he was badly beaten, Mike still ordered the colonel commander to immediately lead the troops to launch a counterattack against the attacking Chinese army.  Stand firm and wait for help.  Therefore, the Third Airborne Regiment, which had just entered the city and was taking advantage of the situation to attack Lashio in one fell swoop, encountered a fierce counterattack by the US military.  The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in three streets and dozens of buildings in the northern area of ??the city.  “In these dozens of buildings, there were dense gunshots and violent explosions everywhere.  The Burmese natives in the building had long been killed by the ruthless rain of bullets, and some courtyards were almost reduced to piles of ruins.  Several Chinese paratroopers holding MP38 submachine guns faced each otherThey were covering a ruins and were storming a ruins. Inside, several American soldiers armed with a light machine gun and several Chicago typewriters blocked their attack route.  Several elite paratroopers hid behind the ruins and were suppressed by the Yankees. They could even hear the American nigger machine gunners’ triumphant laughter accompanied by the roar of the machine guns.  It seemed like he was laughing at them.  A superior soldier took off a grenade from his body and threw it towards the ruined building occupied by the Yankees. His arm strength was amazing.  He threw the grenade directly to the US machine gun fire point nearly fifty or sixty meters away.  There was a loud noise, and a dazzling fire burst out. Several Chinese paratroopers immediately stood up, and several submachine guns in their hands fired accurately and in short bursts at the firepower points where the US military was hiding.  "Bang bang bang" The dense bullets hit the American soldiers and screamed again and again, and three or four fell down.  The remaining two reluctantly pulled the trigger, but under tension, the submachine gun lost its accuracy.  And the Chinese paratroopers fired another round, and two grenades were thrown over by the elite paratroopers.  The two remaining American soldiers were hit by several bullets, and the debris and shrapnel brought by the raging explosion shock wave gave them a fatal blow.  At this time, the American machine gunner who had been injured by the explosion stood up again despite the severe pain, holding the machine gun with both hands, and pulled the trigger on the Chinese paratroopers who were rushing in.  "Click, click, click" In the silent night sky, the U.S. Army's Browning heavy machine gun roared again, and hot tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzle of the gun.  A Chinese paratrooper was caught off guard and fell into a pool of blood.  When several other people saw the sacrifice of their companions, they immediately roared with disbelief and raised their submachine guns and fired fiercely at the US heavy machine gun fire points.  A bullet flew directly from the firing hole and hit the forehead of the US machine gunner. The roar of the Browning heavy machine gun stopped abruptly.  He fell straight back, his two big eyes as wide as cow's eggs, and he refused to close his eyes.  A squad leader who led the team ran over and picked up the comrade who was still alive. Several other soldiers quickly seized this advantageous ruins, but their eyes looked back at the dying comrade from time to time.  His eyes were full of reluctance and anger.  "Zhao Ming, hold on, you'll be fine." The squad leader said loudly with tears in his eyes.  "Squad leaderI, I can't make it this time. Unfortunately, I can't fight with my brothers anymore. After this battle, if everyone can survive, when you drink the celebration wine, don't forget to leave something for me, brother."  One portion." As he said this, blood gushed out of the paratrooper's mouth, and he was already dying.  The veteran squad leader nodded sadly, but tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.  The paratrooper twitched several times and died.  The veteran squad leader covered his eyes, took his body aside, and with full anger, he led his remaining comrades and the reinforcements from behind and continued to attack forward.  “Da da da…ta da da…” Intensive gunshots soon rang out not far ahead again.  The bloody battle between the two sides started again.  Although the U.S. Army had just started the war, the ground-air combination of the Chinese Army killed one and a half infantry battalions and one anti-aircraft battalion.  But there are still three and a half infantry battalions in terms of strength. Since it is a reinforced regiment, these three and a half infantry battalions plus some logistics personnel in the city, the total strength of the US military is still nearly 2,000 people.  They were not at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and they defended the city and fought bloody battles with the Third Airborne Regiment house by house and alley. Although they paid a heavy price in casualties, they also effectively curbed the offensive edge of the Chinese Army.  (To be continued)

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 593: Double Bombing

    Due to the delay in the attack, the commander of the Third Airborne Regiment had to mobilize all the troops staying at the airport to join the siege.  Only one security company is left stationed at the airport.  The reinforcements from the US military are still dozens of kilometers away and have not arrived. The safety of the airport is not a problem.  However, the addition of the new force left behind at the airport only pushed the front line forward a few hundred meters, before it once again fell into a stalemate due to excessive casualties.  "The main thing is street fighting from house to house, alley to alley, which is too time-consuming. If this continues, even if the Chinese troops can eventually eliminate the main force of the US military, I am afraid that the US reinforcements will have arrived by then.  At this time, more than two hours have passed since the beginning of the fighting, because Lashio is closer to Baoshan Airport than Myitkyina.  So the Army Airlines fleet has rushed back to Baoshan Airport, and the elite tax police regiment led by Du Yuming is nervously boarding the plane.  Ground crews are also replenishing fuel for the helicopters.  Zhang Xinghua also returned with a group of fighter jets and arrived. They were fast, so although they were delayed for more than half an hour than the Army Airlines, they came back quickly.  As soon as Zhang Xinghua got off the plane, he saw an adjutant reporting to Zhang Lingfu who came to the airport to see him off.  He hurriedly walked over and saw Zhang Lingfu's solemn face and asked quickly: "Brother Lingfu, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Lingfu said in a serious tone: "The Third Airborne Regiment called. The US military is resisting very tenaciously. They are attacking.  The troops have suffered heavy casualties and need immediate support. "I will immediately lead the air force to support them again," Zhang Xinghua said.  "I'm afraid it's too late. U.S. Commander MacArthur must have received the news. At this time, the U.S. reinforcements around Lashio will definitely advance towards Lashio at full speed. I don't know if General Du Yuming's reinforcements can arrive before the U.S. reinforcements.  Join the war, you know, the speed of this helicopter is still too slow." Zhang Lingfu said with a worried look.  Zhang Xinghua pondered for a moment and said: "General, if you do this, you immediately send electricity to the Third Airborne Regiment and order them all to withdraw from the city in half an hour." "All of them withdraw from the city. Doesn't that give the US military a chance to breathe?" Zhang Lingfu  Suddenly he said: "Brother Xinghua, do you have a solution?" "Yes." Zhang Xinghua nodded and said: "I will immediately gather all the bombers at Baoshan Airport, load them with heavy bombs, take off immediately, and attack the entire city of Lashio  Carry out devastating bombings. In addition, all the small aerial bombs of the fighter group were replaced by poison gas bombs. After the bomber group carried out a carpet bombing, the U.S. military must have suffered heavy casualties and was in chaos. The fighter group took the opportunity to drop a large number of poison gas bombs.  In the panic, they were definitely unprepared. The airborne troops were equipped with gas masks and carried them with them. At this time, they took advantage of the situation and captured the city. However, no matter who was in the city.  Neither the US military nor the Burmese people may be spared. This method is really inhumane!" Zhang Lingfu pondered for a moment, patted Zhang Xinghua on the shoulder and said: "Brother, if you are responsible for this matter, I will take it for you, you can go ahead.  Let’s do it. If we can’t take Lashio, all our previous efforts and sacrifices will be in vain. If it’s a big deal, it’s not impossible to sacrifice some Burmese people.” Zhang Xinghua didn’t expect Zhang Lingfu to come.  Taking responsibility for myself is just out of compassion in my heart, and I can't bear to involve so many innocent lives.  But, how can this be something he can change?  If Lashio is not captured in time, not only the thousands of soldiers of the Third Airborne Regiment will be at risk.  Even the following Tax Police Corps troops and countless Southwest Border Defense Force officers who are about to launch a full-scale counterattack may lose their lives as a result.  After weighing it twice.  Zhang Xinghua had no choice but to grit his teeth and make up his mind to do this.  About ten minutes later, dozens of Flying Fortress bombers and Stuka dive bombers took off under the escort of more than twenty Zero fighters.  As soon as they took off, they flew towards Lashio at full speed.  The Army Air Force fleet was also loaded with an elite infantry regiment and then took off, but the flying speed was much slower.  At the same time, the troops of the Third Airborne Regiment who received the notice also stopped their attacks and withdrew to the rear.  The U.S. military did not know the truth and did not immediately take the opportunity to counterattack.  Instead, after sending out a small force to test the situation, they discovered that the Chinese team that had been attacking ferociously just now had really retreated.  The US military commander ordered the troops to immediately seize the opportunity to seize the lost important barricades and firepower points.  &nbsp; While personally rushing back to the headquarters to report the turnaround to Little Mike.  "Little Mike was restless at this time and saw the colonel returning.  He immediately stood up and asked, "How's it going? Why do I hear that the gunfire outside seems to have stopped?" The US military colonel said with joy: "General, you heard it right, the gunfire did stop, because the Chinese **  "The squadron has retreated." "What? The squadron has retreated?" Major General Mike couldn't help but be startled. Just now, he heard the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer to his headquarters, and he felt anxious.  Needless to say.  He asked doubtfully: "What happened? Why did the Chinese ** team retreat at this juncture?" The colonel leader also shook his head and expressed that he was not sure. Adjutant Laura said from the side: "General, could it be because they  Did you know that our reinforcements have arrived? " "The reinforcements are the ones who arrived first? Contact them immediately and ask." Little Mike said with deep understanding.  Adjutant Laura quickly took the order and turned around to generate electricity. Not long after, he came back with a hesitant look on his face.  Little Mike quickly asked: "How are you doing? Have you asked the reinforcements to arrive?" Adjutant Laura shook his head and said: "General, the nearest reinforcements to us are still thirty kilometers away, and because the road is difficult,  They said it would take two hours at the earliest to arrive. "Then why did the Chinese team stop the attack?" Little Mike was puzzled and looked confused.  "General, could it be that they felt that our reinforcements were coming soon, saw our tenacious resistance, and felt that there was no chance to capture Lashio before our reinforcements arrived, so they took the initiative to stop the attack and withdraw from the city?" asked the colonel.  Little Mike couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but nodded: "We can't rule out this possibility. No matter why they stopped attacking, since we have regained the lost position, Lashio is absolutely safe. Give the order and wait for reinforcements in two hours."  When we arrived, we immediately cooperated with the inside and outside to launch a counterattack against the Chinese ** team, take back the airport and train station, and completely eliminate them! " Unexpectedly, as soon as Little Mike finished speaking, before the colonel leader could respond, there was a sudden burst of sound from outside!  The roar of airplane engines.  The expressions of Little Mike and others suddenly changed. At this time, the roar of the plane had come closer and closer, almost flying above their heads.  Before the sharp and ear-piercing sound of bombing resounded throughout the night sky, Major General Mike let out a miserable and angry roar: "Cunning Chinese, damn it, they want to carry out air strikes and bombings!!!" However, soon, there was a shocking earthquake.  The violent explosion on the ground covered the entire city of Lashio.  Those groups of fierce fires rose from the ground, extremely dazzling and eye-catching in the dark night.  Among the paratroopers who had retreated to the direction of the train station outside the city, a top soldier looked at the wax tree city area that had almost turned into a sea of ??flames, feeling the tremors from time to time under his feet.  He couldn't help but said: "My dear, these guys from the Air Force are too cruel. If this bombing continues, the entire city of Lashio will be completely destroyed."  The city is blown up, not even a mouse can survive in Lashio this time, it will be wiped out!" A second lieutenant platoon leader said, taking out a gas mask and putting it on himself.  The big-headed soldier didn’t dare to talk back to this skilled and hot-tempered platoon leader, so he quickly took out a gas mask and put it on himself.  Soon, more than a thousand elite paratroopers all put on gas masks. In the dark night, they were like ghosts seeking their lives, which was heart-stopping.  The distinctive scream of the Stuka dive bombers lingered over Lashio, becoming the biggest fear in the minds of US military soldiers.  Because every scream must be followed by a powerful bomb, a weapon that can blow a house to pieces.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 594: Sun Liren Arrives

    However, the earth-shaking explosion was not over yet. In the dark night sky, another group of Chinese planes roared over. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The U.S. military, which was in extreme panic, failed to notice that the Chinese fighter planes that swooped by quietly dropped poison gas bombs one after another.  The auburn poison gas smoke was impossible to distinguish in the dark night.  It is conceivable what kind of situation the people in the city will encounter under this double bombing.  Half an hour later, the air force's bombing finally stopped. The officers and soldiers of the Third Airborne Regiment outside the city were already impatient. As soon as the air raid stopped, they rushed towards the city impatiently.  Wearing gas masks, they quietly entered the city like ghosts. This time they did not encounter any resistance. Except for the ruins of broken walls and buildings that were still burning with fire, there was no one alive at all in the city.  The U.S. military came out to resist.  An hour later, in Baoshan County, the Southwest Frontier Army Anti-U.S. Enemy Headquarters.  Zhang Lingfu, Tang Huaiyuan and Zhang Xinghua, who had already returned home, were sitting together anxiously waiting for the battle situation in the direction of Lashio.  Suddenly, a communications adjutant hurriedly walked in from outside, stood up and saluted Zhang Lingfu and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the Third Airborne Regiment is calling. They have captured the entire city of Lashio, and all US troops in the city have been wiped out!"  Great!" Zhang Lingfu and the other three stood up after hearing this. He finally smiled and said to Zhang Xinghua and Tang Huaiyuan: "Great, we have successfully cut off the US military's retreat after taking Lashio.  It's time to order a full-scale counterattack! " "Well, Chairman Zhang has called several times in Kunming to instruct us that regardless of whether Lashio can be won tonight, our frontline troops must launch an attack on the enemy in front of them to contain the main force of the US military.  It's time." Tang Huaiyuan nodded solemnly.  "Now Lashio has been successfully captured. The reinforcements from a regiment led by General Du Yuming should have arrived by now. Even if the US reinforcements arrive, it will not be a problem to stick to Lashio. We can indeed attack across the board." Zhang Xinghua also nodded in agreement.  "Very good." Zhang Lingfu immediately turned around and told the communications adjutant: "Immediately order the troops at the front to take the initiative and launch a full-scale counterattack against the U.S. troops facing them!" "Yes." The communications adjutant responded and quickly turned and left.  ………… Mandalay, the U.S. Army’s Southeast Asia Theater Command.  MacArthur no longer has the composure and calmness of the past, starting from the moment when the squadron successfully launched an overnight airborne attack on Lashio Airport and Railway Station a few hours ago.  He felt no sleepiness at all. Although it was already past three in the morning, MacArthur was still smoking his cigar.  The headquarters was filled with smoke, and even the lights were obscured.  Suddenly, the sound of not heavy footsteps reached MacArthur's ears, and he immediately raised his head and looked up.  I saw Colonel Mick walking towards me with a solemn expression holding a telegram.  Seeing Mick’s expression, MacArthur’s heart suddenly sank.  Sure enough, in the face of MacArthur's eager questioning gaze, Colonel Mick seemed to have forgotten to salute, and said sadly: "General. The Chinese *** team carried out large-scale bombing and used poison gas bombs on Lashio.  No one among the following five thousand people was spared, and all were killed. " MacArthur's eyes were dull on the spot, and the cigar in his hand was still smoking silently.  After a long time, he put the cigar back into his mouth and said with trembling hands: "Order Dai Jin'en to retreat immediately and send the vanguard troops to cooperate with our troops around Lashio and Myitkyina. We must retake it before the main force arrives.  These two places will open up the communication between our main force on the front line and those behind us." Colonel Mick took notes one after another.  Before he could take the order, a communications soldier hurried in and saluted MacArthur briefly: "General, General Dai Jin'en sent an urgent message. A large number of squadrons on the Nujiang front line suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack against our front line.  "The forward positions have been breached by the opponent in many places, and General Daikin is organizing troops to resist." MacArthur's hand could no longer hold the cigar that he usually held like nothing, and quietly fell to the ground, blooming a small spark.  Seeing him like this, Colonel Mick quickly asked: "General, the situation has not reached an irreversible point yet. Our top priority is to find ways to recapture Myitkyina and Lashio. As long as these two places can be recaptured, our main force will  There will be no danger. Although the commander of the Chinese ** team was very cunning and took the opportunity to launch a frontal attack, I want General Dai Jin'en to dispatch a few regiments to return to Myitkyina and Lashio.Is that no problem?  " MacArthur thought for a while, then nodded, took two deep breaths, and said to Mick: "Colonel, send a message to Dai Jinen immediately, and ask him to figure out as soon as possible how the squadron is so complicated at night.  Under difficult circumstances, successfully implemented an airborne landing quietly?  "    "yes!  "Colonel Mick quickly turned around and left with the communications soldier.  Chairman Zhang was leaving in Kunming City. Zhang Xinghan was also woken up by Guo Zhong overnight. After putting on his clothes and shoes, Zhang Xinghan walked out of the bedroom and asked: "Zhongzi  ,what's the situation?  " Guo Zhong said with excitement: "Commissioner, Zhang Lingfu and others just received a call from Baoshan County. Our Army's Third Airborne Regiment successfully captured Lashio and completely wiped out the defenders in the city. At this point, we have completed the first step of the strategy of cutting off the US military's retreat.  plan.  At the same time, the former enemy headquarters had ordered the 70,000 troops to be assembled on the front line of the Nu River to take advantage of the attack and launch a full-scale counterattack against the US military.  " "Very good, this way I can have a good sleep. It's nothing important. Don't call me before dawn. Let me have a good rest."  "Zhang Xinghan is very sleepy now. It was already twelve o'clock when he was discussing the war with Jiang Baili, and he hadn't slept for a few hours. He was woken up by Guo Zhong, so after saying that, Zhang Xinghan walked back to the bedroom laughing. Guo Zhong stood up.  He closed the door and turned to leave. In Longling City, Dai Jinen, who was full of sorrow, was listening to Morgan's noise. Dai Jinen was also attacked one after another in Myitkyina and Lashio.  The Chinese ** team on the opposite side suddenly launched a counterattack, so I couldn't sleep all night. "General, please allow me to personally lead an infantry brigade to launch a counterattack against the Chinese ** team."  Charge, humble position guarantees victory, and maybe we can take the opportunity to capture Songshan.  "Morgan chattered. Finally, the upset Dai Jinen couldn't stand it anymore and roared: "That's enough, Colonel Morgan, I order you to shut up immediately and get out of here right now!  " Mo Gen was startled by his sudden roar. Seeing that he actually issued an order to expel guests, his face turned livid with anger. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave. In his heart, he scolded the eighteen generations of Dai Jin'en for being cowardly and capable.  After Morgan left, a close aide of Dai Jinn whispered: "General, Morgan is a militant, and now General Mike orders us to retake Myitkyina and Lashio.  He wants to fight against the Chinese Army so much. I think you might as well give him two regiments and let him take them to counterattack Myitkyina or Lashio.  "Although Dai Jin'en was angry, when he heard this suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up. He really didn't like this brave guy Morgan, who always yelled in front of him just because he was General MacArthur's confidant.  Pointing fingers, he immediately nodded and said: "Very good, I will do as you say. Go immediately and convey my intention, no, it is a military order to him, and ask him to lead a regiment directly to Lashio to warn him for me and seize the opportunity."  If he doesn't return to Lashio, I will send him to a military court.  ” …………… Myitkyina West Airport, the sky had just dawned, and an elite tax police regiment led by Sun Liren arrived in a fleet of Army Aviation helicopters. Last night, the Army Aviation Army airlifted Du Yuming’s reinforcements to Latvia.  After the garrison, they rushed back to Baoshan Airport to ship Sun Liren's troops. After more than two hours of rapid flight, they finally arrived at the war-torn Myitkyina. As soon as the helicopter landed, Sun Liren, dressed in military uniform, jumped out first and shouted loudly.  He scolded: "Quickly, come down immediately, gather immediately and prepare to fight!  "(To be continued)

    "Who is Sun Liren, General Sun?" At this moment, a rapid voice sounded.  Sun Liren, who was scolding the commanding troops for gathering, turned around and saw a second lieutenant officer and a soldier walking towards him, asking loudly as he walked.  "I am Sun Liren." Sun Liren said loudly.  The second lieutenant heard the sound, glanced at him, and immediately ran toward him with his soldiers.  When he arrived, the second lieutenant quickly stood up and saluted: "General, my humble position is Zhao Guang, the second lieutenant and platoon leader of the security company of the Second Airborne Regiment. I was ordered by our regiment commander to come and inform the general that three US regiments are attacking on the outside. The battalions and companies of our regiment are attacking  Fighting desperately, our regiment leader asked the general to detour behind the enemy's rear, and we would attack from the front and back to defeat this American force and eliminate as much of their strength as possible." Sun Liren also saluted him, nodded and said: "No problem, I will cooperate immediately.  " After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "First commander!" "Yes!" A colonel from the tax police regiment hurriedly ran out of the crowd and saluted Sun Liren: "Master, what are your instructions?  " "Immediately take three battalions to attack them behind the U.S. Army, leaving the guard platoon to me," Sun Liren instructed.  "Yes, I will leave immediately." The colonel leader responded and immediately turned around to assemble the troops.  Sun Liren turned around and said to the second lieutenant Zhao Guang: "Brother, please take me to your regiment headquarters. I want to see your regiment leader." "Yes." Zhao Guang did not dare to neglect, and stood up quickly to answer, turning around and leading the way.  A guard platoon had already been assembled under orders and followed Sun Liren into the city.  When he entered the city, Sun Liren could already hear the continuous fierce gunfire and the continuous violent explosions.  Especially in the direction of the train station, which is a strategic location connecting the airport and Myitkyina city, most of the US military attacks are concentrated around the train station, where the fiercest fighting is.  However, Sun Liren had no time to care about this at the moment. He was a senior commander and he knew what he should do.  You know better where you should be.  Not long after, they entered the city despite a hail of bullets, and led by the second lieutenant officer to the regiment headquarters.  What makes Sun Liren quite approving is that the regiment headquarters of the Second Airborne Regiment is located in the western district of the city very close to the train station, which is close to the front line with the most intense fighting.  The danger is naturally much greater, but it is also more convenient for the commander to understand the latest battle situation so that he can make countermeasures as quickly as possible.  The second lieutenant officer walked in first. Wang Dafei, who was making emergency arrangements for combat with his staff, heard this and quickly put down the pencil in his hand and came out.  As soon as they met, they both saluted at the same time and each announced their identity and military rank.  "It turns out that your Excellency is the commander of Wang Dafei and Wang who rushed thousands of miles to defend Songshan. You are a truly awe-inspiring ace division. Sun Liren has long admired you!" Sun Liren said in awe.  Wang Dafei hurriedly stepped forward and took his hand and said: "Miao Zan, Chief Sun, the Yankees have been crazy and attacking our troops regardless of casualties since yesterday. Fortunately, you came in time. Hurry up, come in, this humble man  I will hand over the command to you." Sun Liren said with some surprise: "Commander Wang, is this not good? To be honest, before I led my troops here, General Du Yuming told me to take charge of everything.  "Wang Dafei said with sincerity: "Sir, I, Wang Dafei, know how many pounds I have. If you ask me to lead the charge, there is no problem in making detours to attack the city, but if you ask me to command the overall situation, it will be a bit inadequate.  "So, from now on, all the guards in Myitkyina are at your disposal. We will fight as you say." Sun Liren saw that Wang Dafei's face was sincere, and he felt more admiration for Zhang Xinghan.  The officers under my command are really extraordinary. With this level of courage, how many of our central army can compare with them?  No wonder Zhang Lingfu was an absolute confidant of Duke Jiang, and even the most respected people turned to him.  This person is definitely not an ordinary person.  Actually, Wang Dafei was a little nervous, because handing over the command to Sun Liren was a leapfrog order that Chairman Zhang Xinghan personally sent from Kunming not long ago.  Although Monk Zhang Er was a little confused, out of absolute obedience and loyalty to Zhang Xinghan, Wang Dafei immediately implemented this order as soon as Sun Liren arrived.  Although he said he was extremely humble and respectful, in his heart he was still trying to see how virtuous Sun Liren could be in being recognized by the Chairman.  &nbsp; Sun Liren pondered for a while, and then said immediately: "Since Commander Wang said so, then Sun will be more respectful than obey orders and go overboard!" Wang Dafei nodded happily and led him to the battle map.  Through the combat map and Wang Dafei’s narration, Sun Liren quickly grasped the actual situation on the battlefield.  After pondering for a moment, he immediately made a series of decisions. Wang Dafei conveyed his orders one by one with a questioning attitude.  About an hour later, I received a victory call from the frontline units.  "Regiment leader, the US military is defeated and our army is victorious. Do you want to pursue us?" Wang Dafei was startled for a moment, then looked at Sun Liren in surprise, who was still staring at the map, and immediately ordered: "Attack across the board, chase me, if you can kill  Kill as many as possible and eliminate the enemy's effective forces as much as possible." After hanging up the phone, Wang Dafei walked to Sun Liren and said with great respect: "Sir, Commander Sun is indeed an excellent commander. Let's guard Myitkyina.  There is no problem." Unexpectedly, Sun Liren shook his head slightly and said: "Commander Wang, do you just want to keep it like this?" Wang Dafei was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean, sir?" "The importance of Myitkyina?  Of course, I don’t need to tell you. Commander Wang also knows that although the US military has been defeated by our army, there must be more reinforcements coming here from different directions and locations. The stubborn defense of Myitkyina will only make our army unable to do so.  Falling into a situation of being passively beaten. As the saying goes, the best defense is offense. Captain Wang must have heard this sentence, right? Moreover, Sun remembers that Chairman Zhang, the founder of your department, advocates offense.  The most aggressive offensive tactics were able to create one war miracle after another on the black soil. It was precisely because of these miracles that our army was able to sweep hundreds of thousands of Japanese invaders, swallow up the Korean Peninsula, and conquer the country.  The Japanese archipelago, the recovery of Taiwan, Ryukyu, Outer Mongolia, Eastern Siberia and other feats. " "Sir Sun, are you going to take the initiative?" Wang Dafei was moved, but said a little worriedly: "I personally agree with your idea, but  Our army currently does not have many troops. We have to stick to the airport, train station and Myitkyina city, so we really cannot mobilize enough troops to take the initiative. After all, the US military may have reinforcements arriving at any time. If it is just the troops of the sister-in-law team, not only will they attack.  If we are unable to achieve our tactical goals, we may also be countered by the US military and put into a disadvantageous situation. " "This is what Commander Wang is worried about, but don't worry, I have several regiments coming to support Myitkyina one after another.  "With Lashio." Sun Liren said: "What I mean is this. A regiment brought by me will take over the city defense. Commander Wang, you can assemble your airborne troops and take the initiative. By the way, Commander Wang."  Commander, please do not misunderstand that Sun is actually using this to suppress dissidents and weaken your army's strength. The reason is that your army is an elite in all battles and is proficient in all kinds of conventional and special operations. Its combat power is stronger than ours.  This force that takes the initiative is like an unsheathed sword. It must be a sword that is sharp and fast enough to cut off the enemy's head and win. When the second batch of reinforcements arrives, I will immediately send one.  The regiment responded to you and took the initiative to attack with you. " Wang Dafei was startled at first, and then said seriously: "Sir Sun is suspicious. Wang absolutely believes in the commander's character. We will do as you said. When the troops come back from pursuit, we will.  Immediately hand over the defense. To be honest, these brothers under my command really don’t like fighting this frustrating positional defense battle.  Taking the initiative is the method of combat that can bring out our strongest combat power. General, please rest assured that Wang will live up to his expectations and will not defeat the U.S. military, abandon its helmets and armor, and will never return to the city!  "

    In a small village 20 kilometers west of Myitkyina, a group of broken-up American soldiers entered the village in panic.  A panting American second lieutenant rushed into a Burmese compound with two of his subordinates.  There were a family of five Burmese people in the house, but they were all so scared that they were hiding in a bedroom and did not dare to come out. Only a few pairs of vigilant and frightened eyes were exposed from the cracks in the window, staring at these beauties with dark skin and big noses.  I saw three American soldiers rushing into the Burmese kitchen, and soon there was a ping-pong-pong sound in the kitchen.  At this moment, a burst of rapid gunfire and several explosions suddenly came from outside the village.  The three Americans in the kitchen ran out in a hurry, holding some leftover rice from the Burmese pot.  When the three of them came to the door, they found many of their own soldiers running towards the other end of the village in panic. The second lieutenant stopped one of them and asked, "What's going on?" "Chinese soldiers, Chinese soldiers are chasing us!" The second lieutenant immediately heard this.  Shocked, they quickly took the lead and ran away, urging loudly: "Dog! Dog! Dog! Run, those devils are here again!" It can be seen how afraid they are of the Chinese pursuers behind them.  The reason is that in the past ten hours, they have been aggressively attacked by the Chinese ** team.  In the jungle battle, this squadron exerted its combat power to the extreme, and the continuous reinforcements and powerful aerial firepower gave the US military a huge blow.  The U.S. military garrisons originally stationed in places such as Jamai and Mogan were completely reduced from the offensive side to the defensive side under the counterattack of the Chinese Army.  In the end, the defensive side turned into a broken army. Being chased by China's most elite paratrooper ace troops and the tax police regiment, they were like a lost dog and were completely defeated.  At this time, the U.S. troops who came to reinforce Myitkyina were still halfway there.  The news spread back to Baoshan County, and Zhang Lingfu and others quickly reported it to Zhang Xinghan.  "The Chairman is really good at recognizing people, I admire him." Baili admired him. In Zhang Xinghan's temporary residence in Kunming City, Jiang Baili listened to Guo Zhong's report.  Praise to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have read the information about Sun Liren. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in the United States. He is a military talent with real talents and knowledge. This time, let him lead the troops to fight the Americans in Myitkyina.  It's interesting." "This man is a talented general, and his achievements over time will definitely not be inferior to Zhang Lingfu's," Jiang Baili said.  "Yes, there are so many famous generals in the Communist Party, but it is a pity that Chairman Chiang cannot make good use of them." Zhang Xinghan thought of the famous anti-Japanese generals in history.  In addition to Zhang Lingfu, there are also Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang, all of whom are brave and capable fighters who have fought against the Japanese invaders in history.  "Give Sun Liren power and promote him to Army Major General, responsible for unified command of the defense campaign of Myitkyina." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said angrily to Guo Zhong.  "Yes." Guo Zhong responded quickly and took the order to leave.  Jiang Baili said: "Commissioner. This Sun Liren does not seem to have joined the Kuomintang. If you make good use of it, you should be able to follow the commission and serve the country!" "I know that this is the purpose of promoting him to Army Major General." Zhang Xinghan said.  "However, I am afraid that Mr. Jiang will be dissatisfied." Jiang Baili said a little worried.  "This is nothing, we are just doing it as a routine matter. Sun Liren did well in Myitkyina. He was promoted due to his merits and has nothing to say to the public or private. Even if Mr. Jiang is not satisfied, he can only scold me behind my back for showing his bad temper."  "Zhang Xinghan said as if he didn't care at all.  Jiang Baili smiled and said nothing more. Now Zhang Xinghan's reputation in the Chinese nation and the military strength of his men are second to none. Even if Jiang Gong is deeply dissatisfied, he does not dare to fall out with Zhang Xinghan at this time.  What's more, Zhang Xinghan has already given up the southwest and even Myanmar, which is about to be conquered, to him.  After weighing the pros and cons, he will continue to tolerate it.  While Sun Liren commanded the troops to take the initiative to attack the US troops around Myitkyina, they headed towards Lashio.  Du Yuming led reinforcements to join the Third Airborne Regiment, and after receiving reinforcements from an elite tax police regiment, he launched several head-to-head attacks with several regiments of U.S. troops coming from various places around Lashio.  After a day and night of bloody fighting, with the powerful fire support of the Air Force, the U.S. reinforcements were finally defeated.  The siege of Lashio was solved.  At this time, after a day and night of rapid marching, Colonel Morgan of the US Airborne First Division also rushed to the area north of Lashio with a mechanized infantry regiment.  Rendezvous with the defeated army there.  Knowing that the counterattack forces of the three regiments were defeated by the Chinese defenders of Lashio, I held backMo Gen was furious.  Immediately gather the defeated troops.  With the infantry regiment he brought as the main force, they rushed towards Lashio again.  In Lashio City, the garrison headquarters.  Du Yuming is discussing the military situation with his capable general Dai Anlan and several other staff lieutenants.  Suddenly, a reconnaissance platoon leader rushed from outside with a heavy workload.  He saluted Du Yuming, Dai Anlan and others: "Sirs, traces of the US military have been found five kilometers north of Lashio. The strength is about one or two regiments and they are marching towards Lashio." "Two regiments?" Du Yuming heard this.  He frowned, looked at Dai Anlan and said, "These should be reinforcements from the US military coming from the front line. The Americans are fast enough." Dai Anlan nodded in agreement: "Well, that should be true. But  The U.S. military sent only two regiments, which was too arrogant. Did he think that with the strength of these two regiments, he could capture Lashio, which I had three regiments to defend? " Du Yuming looked at the map and said: "The enemy is here.  Five kilometers away, it's time to speak. Adjutant Li, send me the order immediately, and the regiments are ready to fight!" A lieutenant adjutant quickly responded and took the order to leave.  ………… The White House, Office of the President, United States.  Hearing that Lashio and Myitkyina had been lost, the 100,000 U.S. Army troops on China's southwest border were in danger of being cut off.  Roosevelt finally couldn't sit still, and while sending a message to MacArthur urging him to resolve this unprecedented crisis no matter what, he summoned Marshall to urgently discuss countermeasures.  "Mr. President, the reason why the war situation in Myanmar is such a crisis is partly due to the paralysis and carelessness of frontline commanders, but the main reason is because our army has lost air supremacy in Myanmar. Without air supremacy, the actions of all troops have been disrupted.  They will be extremely passive, and their original combat power will not be able to be fully utilized, which will lead to the deterioration of the war situation." Marshall said in a bloody battle: "If you want to save the current crisis situation, you must immediately go to Mandalay and other airports.  Send additional air force pilots and fighter planes. Even if these fighters cannot compete with the Chinese Air Force's fighter planes, they must maintain a certain number to provide the required fire support to our ground forces when necessary. " "In case of an air strike by the Chinese Air Force.  Airports in Mandalay and other places, wouldn't that cause greater casualties and losses?" Roosevelt still freshly remembered the result of the first air battle with the Chinese Army in the Pacific.  “I’m afraid of making the same mistake again. After all, even though those planes are not advanced enough, they are still the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people.  “Moreover, the sacrifice of a large number of pilots’ lives will also have an impact on the public support rate of the president.  "This requires strengthening the air defense force. Compared with 100,000 army soldiers, even if we pay some air force casualties, it is still cost-effective, or we must go this way." Marshall said.  Roosevelt nodded in disbelief.  ………… Mandalay, US military headquarters.  "General, the counterattacks in the directions of Myitkyina and Lashio have all ended in failure. The counterattack troops suffered extremely heavy losses and the situation is still critical." Colonel Mick reported the battle situation to MacArthur with a heavy face.  Seeing that MacArthur did not speak, Colonel Mick added: "Another point is that the frontline reinforcements, the 34th Regiment led by Colonel Morgan, have arrived in Lashio and are currently organizing a pathological counterattack." After listening, MacArthur stood up.  Looking at the map, he said: "Without air superiority, the price of such a counterattack will be staggering! I must send a message to the presidential cabinet and the Pacific Theater Command, asking them to immediately send additional air forces." Before MacArthur finished speaking, there was another  A communications adjutant walked in excitedly, stood up and saluted: "General, the president has called. A large number of fighter planes have been shipped and shipped, and pilots are being dispatched. Please hold on and concentrate our forces to prepare for the counterattack on Myitkyina and Latvia."  "Air Force?" MacArthur was startled for a moment, then smiled with two rows of white teeth: "Great, with the support of the Air Force, the 100,000 troops on the front can be withdrawn smoothly!" "Colonel Mick, please!"  You immediately send a message to Mogen, asking him to postpone the counterattack and collect as many troops as possible. At the same time, you send a message to Dai Jinen to deploy effective troops to defend the Tengchong and Longling areas to block the frontal counterattack of the Chinese Army and lead the main force to withdraw as soon as possible.  In China, counterattack Myitkyina and Lashio with absolute strength. " "Yes!" Colonel Mick quickly wrote down one by one, then turned around and took the order.  On the mountain road from Longling to Songshan, the coalition forces of the Yunnan Army and the Central Army are launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on the US military.  &nbsp; Since the full-scale counteroffensive began two days ago, the U.S. military has fully shifted to the defensive.  The counterattack forces composed of the Yunnan Army, the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army broke through the U.S. defense line one after another, and finally counterattacked to an area less than 20 miles east of Longling.  In order to ensure that the US military continued to increase its troops in Longling, the two sides launched a fierce and fierce battle here.  Although the Southwest Border Guards suffered heavy casualties, they still failed to defeat the U.S. troops and approached Longling City.  However, it also caused huge casualties to the US military.  The battlefield is located on a wasteland, with steep and steep mountains on both sides of the wasteland in the distance.  In the trenches at the forefront of the southwest ** position, hundreds of Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and Central Military Officers and soldiers were holding steel guns, sitting in the trenches, resting and eating, waiting for the next attack order.  PS: Due to time constraints, I will only update this one today, and will make up for the third update tomorrow. Thank you for your support!

    North of Lashio City, the former enemy headquarters of the 34th US Regiment.  Morgan is commanding the troops to launch an attack on the field defense positions of the Chinese defenders of Lashio in the north of the city.  The regiment brought by Morgan is an elite unit of the U.S. Army, plus his elite paratroopers, so the offensive is very fierce.  Dai Anlan personally went to the frontier outside the city to supervise the battle, and the two sides fought in full swing in the wilds north of the city.  The war was not progressing smoothly, and the casualties of the troops continued to increase, which gradually began to wear away Mogen's previous ambition to avenge his shame and recapture Lashio.  At this moment, Mo Gen was pacing back and forth in the headquarters anxiously. Several adjutants and staff members beside him did not dare to say anything and stood silently aside.  Listening to the intensive gunfire coming from outside and the shouts of killing from soldiers on both sides, Morgan became increasingly upset. He suddenly stopped and ordered an adjutant: "Second Lieutenant, give me a cigarette."  The U.S. Army second lieutenant quickly took out a pack of Hardman cigarettes from his body and respectfully stepped forward to light them for Morgan.  Morgan took a heavy drag on the cigarette, his dark face sunken, and he exhaled a large puff of smoke. His irritable mood was slightly relieved by the stimulation of nicotine, and he continued to pace.  Suddenly, a communications soldier walked out of the communications room next door and saluted him: "Sir, General MacArthur is calling." When Morgan heard that it was MacArthur calling, he immediately stopped and stretched out his hand and said: "Quick, bring it to me."  The communications soldier quickly strode forward and handed him the message with both hands respectfully.  After opening the message and reading it, Morgan, who was in danger of riding a tiger, pondered for a moment, and then ordered the second lieutenant and adjutant before: "Immediately order the troops to stop the attack, retreat ten miles and stand by."  Listening to the gunfire outside the city  The sound of artillery and the shouts of killing gradually disappeared. Du Yuming, who was in the city's headquarters, stood up and ordered the adjutant: "Call the frontier in the north of the city and ask what happened." An adjutant hurriedly followed the order.  .  Not long after the meeting, he put down the phone, turned around and reported to Du Yuming: "Sir, the US military has stopped attacking, and General Dai Anlan is rushing back." "Oh." Du Yuming nodded with relief.  Ten minutes later, Dai Anlan returned to the headquarters in a military jeep.  "Brother An Lan, how is the situation?" Du Yuming hurriedly greeted him and asked.  "Brother Guangting, although this U.S. military has a good fighting force, our Chinese ** team is not a vegetarian. They fought fiercely for a long time. They left two to three hundred corpses and were forced to stop the attack. Now they have taken the initiative to retreat.  To guard against fraud, I did not order the troops to pursue him," Dai Anlan said.  Du Yuming nodded when he heard this and said: "Even so, we must also instruct the defense forces outside the city to be more vigilant and not to slack off, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity." Dai Anlan nodded and asked: "Brother Guangting, our army  How is the overall counterattack going? " "The battle is still in a stalemate. There are nearly 100,000 US troops on the front lines in Longling and Tengchong. It will be so easy to defeat them in the short term.  "Du Yuming said: "The key to this battle is whether Myitkyina and Lashio can be held. As long as they are occupied by us, the US military's logistics will be interrupted. Once the US military's main divisions on the front are defeated, they will not be able to hold on.  The main force behind us took advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, and victory will definitely belong to us." Dai Anlan nodded in agreement.  He said sternly: "As long as there is still one of us here, we will never lose Lashio and Myitkyina. This battle is a crucial battle against the Western powers. Our soldiers just have to fight to the last soldier.  With determination to serve the country, we will surely win the final victory and enhance our country’s prestige!”…………Kunming.  "Commissioner, the reconnaissance planes and the secret agents of the Military Command Bureau and the Secret Bureau have all received reliable news. Most of the main U.S. forces in Longling and Tengchong have withdrawn. "What is blocking our army now is a small number of U.S. blocking troops. It seems that  The U.S. military plans to concentrate all its efforts on counterattacking Myitkyina and Lashio," Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghanhui.  Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette and stared at the map and said: "MacArthur wants to retake Myitkyina and Lashio, how can we let him get what he wants? Send a power to Zhang Lingfu, and within 24 hours, no matter what the cost, you must break through the US military blockade.  Launch an attack on Longling and Tengchong! If you fail to complete this mission, all officers at the division level and above in the frontline units will be punished with military law!"  The Longling frontline received Zhang Xinghan's death order.  Hundreds of Japanese soldiers began to launch large-scale charges against the US military without fear of death.  &nbsp; Countless people fell on the charging road, but the brave soldiers behind stepped over the body of their comrade Pao Ze and rushed forward one after another.  After more than ten hours of bloody fighting and the cost of nearly 10,000 casualties, the frontline troops finally broke through the US military's defense line early the next morning.  The remaining American troops retreated to Longling County. The Japanese soldiers immediately took advantage of the situation and advanced, approaching the city and surrounding Longling City.  At the same time, Tang Huaiyuan sent a telegram to Cun Xingqi to personally lead the replenished 34th Brigade of the Yunnan Army to bypass Longling County and pursue the US troops advancing in the direction of Lashio.  On the Tengchong battlefield, countless Central Army officers and soldiers and the US military also launched extremely fierce offensive and defensive battles.  After paying a heavy price in which more than half of the three divisions were killed or injured, they finally defeated the American troops in front of them and successfully broke through their steel defense line. With the cooperation of the air force, they immediately began to attack Tengchong County.  And also dispatched two elite troops to bypass Tengchong County and begin to pursue the main force of the US military to relieve the pressure on the friendly forces in Myitkyina and Lashio.  After the US troops in Longling and Tengchong were divided and surrounded, they began to rely on city defense to fight against the trapped beasts in an attempt to contain the main force of the Chinese Army.  Zhang Xinghan learned that the frontline troops could not attack for a long time. He was furious and ordered Zhang Xinghua to deploy the air force to start a persistent carpet bombing of the second city.  A day later, Cun Xingqi and other troops finally caught up with the US rearguard, and the two sides started a fierce battle on the China-Myanmar border.  Most of the main force of the US military is still rushing towards Lashio and Myitkyina, after a day and night of rapid march.  More than 20,000 U.S. troops on the east road rushed to the north of Lashio City first and met up with Morgan's advance troops.  Immediately, the U.S. military, which concentrated its absolute superior strength, made a comeback and launched a fierce attack on Lashio again.  At the same time, Dai Jinen ordered the east and west U.S. rearguard troops to form a defense line based on the high mountains and ridges on the border to block the pursuit of the Chinese army.  In Kunming City.  Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, Longling and Tengchong have still not been captured. The US military is defending the city and is extremely stubborn. The pursuit force was also blocked by the US military on the Sino-Myanmar border. Most of the main US forces on the east route have already arrived.  Lashio, they have assembled several times more troops than me in Lashio. Now you can imagine the pressure Du Yuming and Dai Anlan are facing. "The border between China and Myanmar is full of high mountains and virgin forests, and road transportation is extremely inconvenient.  Although it curbed the effectiveness of the mechanized troops on both sides.  But such terrain is conducive to the defenders. In many dangerous passes, only a small number of troops are needed to curb the pursuit of enemy forces several times larger than one's own.  Therefore, it may be difficult for the main force of our ground troops to reach Lashio and Myitkyina in time for reinforcements in a short period of time.  " Zhang Xinghan paced back and forth with a heavy look on his face: "It seems that the key to this battle lies in our air force. Immediately send a message to Xinghua and Lingfu and order them to continue airlifting reinforcements to Lashio and Myitkyina. The army aviation force is available around the clock.  Fourteen hours for air transport.  Since there are many difficulties in bringing reinforcements on the ground, we will use all air transportation. As long as we can airlift two or three infantry divisions to Lashio and Myitkyina, then it will be a delusion for the US military to open up a way to retreat!  " Suddenly, Guo Zhong walked in hurriedly, stood up to Zhang Xinghan and saluted: "Commissioner, Shen Xingye sent an important piece of information from Nanjing. Our agents lurking in Lashio reported that there was a recent appearance over Mandalay.  The frequent anomalies encountered by U.S. military aircraft were revealed.  He speculated that it was probably the US military that was mobilizing air force units.  " Jiang Baili was shocked when he heard this and said: "Commissioner, it is impossible for the US military to fail to see the importance of the air force in this battle in northern Myanmar. This abnormal situation must be that the US military is secretly deploying air force, and it must be guarded against.  " Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and took two puffs of smoke: "If the Americans want to play air raids with us, it depends on whether we give him this opportunity.  Zhongzi, I immediately telegraphed to Zhang Xinghua, asking him to concentrate all the air force forces on me, suspend assistance to the ground forces, and conduct all-out air strikes on airports in Mandalay, Yan'anqiang and other places. We must not allow a single U.S. military aircraft to be able to do so in the next half month.  Take off and join the battle in these areas!  At the same time, the airlift plan of the Army Aviation Forces continues as usual without interruption.  "    "yes.  "Guo Zhong responded and quickly took the order to leave. Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, I have a suggestion. The military helicopters of the Army Aviation are equipped with weapons. If they launch air strikes from low altitude to the US Army on the ground.  The U.S. military has no combat experience in this area, so it is bound to suffer heavy losses. The annihilation of 100,000 U.S. troops should be a piece of cake, right?  " "Well, this is a good suggestion. However, I don't want to use the land until the critical moment.The aviation force launched an attack on the US military.  Because this will expose the existence of helicopters, which will lead to Western powers speeding up the development of helicopters.  Maybe, they are already in development now, but they haven’t completed it yet.  "Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully. Jiang Baili nodded and said no more. After Zhang Xinghua received Zhang Xinghan's order, he immediately assembled dozens of bombers and fighter jets and launched the first air raid on Mandalay. However, Mandalay  The U.S. military’s air defense firepower and early warning work in the Dele area did not work well. The airport in Mandalay was the place where the U.S. military’s air defense firepower was the most intensive. After losing several fighter jets, Zhang Xinghua found that he could not break through the U.S. military’s air defense firepower network.  , had no choice but to order to return (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!

    "Committee, the air raid failed." Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan with a heavy face.  "Failed?" Zhang Xinghan said slightly surprised.  "Well, the US military deployed a large number of air defense forces in the Mandalay area. The air strike failed. It seems that the Americans were well prepared." Jiang Baili nodded and confirmed: "In order to avoid greater losses, General Xinghua was forced to order  Returned. "We lost four Zero fighter jets in this air strike." "The more prepared the U.S. military is, the more it proves that if their air strikes are unsuccessful, they will not be able to prevent the U.S. military from mobilizing its air force. In that case, our military's absolute control of the air will be assured.  It's going to be a big discount," Zhang Xinghan said with a worried look.  "Commissioner, in my humble opinion, I still order the army aviation troops to immediately go into battle and cooperate with the frontline troops to carry out low-altitude strikes against the US ground forces. As long as the main force of more than 100,000 US troops in northern Myanmar can be annihilated, everything will be worth it.  "Jiang Baili said: "Even if the Americans are also developing helicopters, they may not get much inspiration from this battle. At best, they will increase their efforts to develop helicopters. This should not be done overnight.  "Zhang Xinghan walked back and forth with one hand on his back. After thinking for a long time, he said: "This is the only way we can do it now. However, the number of aircraft we have in the southwest is still insufficient. I ordered Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang to let them go.  They must dispatch more fighter planes to strengthen our ability to control the air in the southwest. Order the Army Aviation Force to join the battle and assist the frontline troops to break through the US military blockade as soon as possible, and then launch a full-scale attack on the US military to cleanly and thoroughly eliminate the enemy.  On the China-Myanmar border. …………… Nanqiang, more than 100 kilometers away from Mangshi, is a small town in Myanmar on the China-Myanmar border. This town is located between the two major canyons. Although the economy is relatively backward, it is  But it is a strategic location guarding the main transportation route.  The main force of the US military retreated.  Knowing that the Chinese ** team was chasing behind them, they left more than 5,000 troops here to build a defense line to stop them.  The total strength of Cun Xingqi's front troops and follow-up troops was close to 20,000, but they were still unable to break through the US troops who were defending in danger.  The main reason is that because the terrain here is relatively narrow, the strength advantage of the Southwest Border Defense Force cannot be effectively utilized.  Therefore, Cun Xingqi commanded the troops to attack fiercely for more than a day and launched more than a dozen attacks, but failed to break through the US defense line.  On the contrary, it caused considerable casualties to our own troops.  Another wave of attacks failed. After receiving the order to retreat, the Chinese soldiers who had just bravely braved the heavy rain of steel bullets from the US military retreated back like a tide.  Only the bodies of hundreds of sacrificed soldiers were left in the open space full of bomb craters in front of the US military position.  In a trench of the U.S. Army, two U.S. infantry troops saw the Chinese troops withdraw again.  Both of them couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, put the Garand semi-automatic rifle aside with the barrel already hot, and turned around to sit in the trench, breathing in the fresh air quickly.  "John, these Chinese soldiers are really a bunch of crazy people. I have never seen such crazy soldiers. They braved such a dense rain of bullets and charged forward one after another, knowing that they were dead. I even thought for a moment that this place was simply a humanoid shooting range. I  I almost didn't have time to take aim, so I fired and killed three unlucky Chinese soldiers." An American soldier gasped, trying to calm down his extremely excited and frightened mood.  "They are the bravest soldiers I have ever seen. Soldiers who are not afraid of death. If it weren't for the military orders, I would never want to fight with such people. It's crazy. Moreover, people are dying here every day. I hate that the air is filled with  This place smells of death." The American soldier named John seemed to be very afraid of and disgusted with this tragic war.  He is a new recruit who has just joined the army for more than three months.  He said somewhat sluggishly and angrily.  After saying that, he turned to look at this comrade who had joined the army more than a year earlier than him, and said: "Miz, I miss my family so much, my mother, my sister. I really want to go back and eat it every morning.  Bread and milk prepared by mom." Miz patted him on the shoulder and said: "Man, if you want to go back alive, you have to be strong and use the gun in your hand to shoot every Chinese soldier who attacks us.  Only if we are defeated can we have a chance to go back alive." Private John wiped his tears and was speechless.  Miz took out two cigarettes from his body and gave him one. John pushed it with his hand and said, "I don't smoke." "Damn it, I was just like you when I first joined the army. I was also a bad girl.  Novice who smokes, you must learn to smoke. This is a good way to relieve depression and fear, and it is also a must for you to evolve into a veteran.??ways.  "As he said that, Miz lit a cigarette and put it in John's mouth. "Try to smoke it.  "Miz held another cigarette in his mouth, lit it for himself, and signaled to John. John took two puffs as instructed, and was immediately choked by the spicy smoke and coughed violently, even coughing out tears. Miz  Zi laughed proudly: "Haha, my first time smoking was even worse than yours, haha.  " At this moment, a signal flare suddenly rose into the sky, making a piercing scream. Miz looked up and then cursed: "Damn it, the Chinese soldiers are going to attack again. These lunatics, get down quickly.  !  " After saying that, he lay down, and John quickly spit out the smoke from his mouth and lay down. " However, the artillery bombardment they expected from the Chinese ** team did not come as promised, and the troops' shouts of killing were heard as they charged.  He didn’t hear anything. After three or five minutes, Miz got up and said in confusion: “Strange, what did the signal flare mean just now?  Was it our people who set it off?  Or was it done by Chinese soldiers?  " John also climbed up. Wearing steel helmets, they lay in the trench and looked around, but they couldn't see anything. At this moment, John seemed to hear a strange sound vaguely, and he immediately patted Miz  Said: "Miz, listen, there is a sound.  "Miz looked at him strangely, listened carefully, and sure enough, heard a sound that seemed to have been heard somewhere and seemed very familiar. "What sound?  " John asked curiously. Miz frowned in thought, and then concentrated his attention to listen carefully. Suddenly his expression changed drastically and he said: "Is it the sound of airplane engines and propellers?  " "No, it should be an air raid by the Chinese!  " As soon as Miz finished speaking, he was surprised to find that a large group of black spots suddenly appeared in the sky above the towering mountains. The sound came from that direction. " At this time, a U.S. Army second lieutenant ran over along the trench, running  Bian shouted: "What is the sound, where is the sound coming from?  " While speaking, he had already run to Miz and John. He followed the dull eyes of John and Miz. He was startled for a moment, and then raised the telescope. Through the telescope, he could clearly see that the sky was getting bigger and bigger.  The black spots turned out to be a group of aircraft that he had never seen before. “Hey, what are those?  Plane?  China’s new aircraft?  ?  "The U.S. Army second lieutenant said in horror and confusion. "At the moment when he hesitated to speak, those black spots were already approaching from far away, flying in the air not far in front of their position. At this time, on the opposite squadron position,  The overwhelming shouts of killing rang out again. The U.S. Army second lieutenant hurriedly raised his telescope and looked forward. He saw that countless Chinese soldiers had jumped out of the trenches and converged toward their position like a flood that broke the embankment.  He immediately pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger toward the sky: "Get ready to fight, get ready to fight now!"  " And as soon as he finished speaking, the group of UFOs were already roaring like locusts. At this time, John and Miz finally saw the true appearance of these flying objects clearly, and were stunned on the spot. It turned out to be true.  It was an airplane, an airplane they had never seen before, and one that could fly at such a low altitude. Just as they were stunned, hundreds of heavy machine guns on hundreds of Army helicopters fired.  Roaring. They passed over the U.S. military positions at very low altitudes. Each aircraft was equipped with two large-caliber heavy machine guns. Wherever they passed, dense and powerful bullets rained down on the heads of the U.S. military.  Shooting at the ground, from a high position, the trench fortifications are no longer protective fortifications for US soldiers to avoid bullets, but a place of death that restricts their movements. In the narrow trench fortifications, countless US soldiers were scorched before they could even hide.  The bullets turned into a hornet's nest. John, Miz and a group of American soldiers in the first trench were the first to bear the brunt. A dense rain of machine gun bullets penetrated their bodies and bled on the spot.  As noted, he fell down with a look of reluctance. Hundreds of military helicopters were circling in the sky and shooting, as if hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns were set up above the heads of the US military, firing tens of thousands of bullets every minute.  The casualties of the US military can be described as rivers of blood all over the field. They are like swarms of locusts passing by, leaving no trace behind.  Deep dive and advance towards the US military position, the follow-up Chinese stepsThey took advantage of the situation and invaded the US military defensive position.  During this period, they only encountered some extremely slight resistance. Those were American soldiers who luckily survived the carpet strafing by helicopters.  But he was soon drowned in the surging crowd of Chinese soldiers.  "Come on, brothers, kill all the American devils and avenge the fallen brothers!" Some Yunnan Army soldiers roared with red eyes.  The weapons in their hands kept firing, killing every American soldier they could see.  With the help of the incredible firepower of the Army Aviation Force, Cun Xingqi and other troops easily captured this important border area that blocked them for more than ten hours and cost thousands of casualties.

    At the same time, on the China-Myanmar border from Tengchong to Myitkyina, the offensive troops of the Central Army were also reinforced by hundreds of helicopters from the Army Aviation Force.  And with its weak casualties, it easily broke through the US military's defensive positions and defeated the US military blocking force that had blocked them for nearly 24 hours.  And took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit of the US military. With the assistance of Army helicopters at low altitudes, the retreating US troops had no way to hide, and were eventually wiped out by the combined ground-air attack of the squadron.  Except for a few who fled into the deep mountains and forests, they lost their way.  Good news also came from Longling County and Tengchong, because Zhang Xinghan ended the bombing of Mandalay and other places, and instead ordered the Air Force to increase the bombing of Tengchong and Longling County.  The U.S. military, which suffered heavy casualties, finally could not bear the pressure. After losing nearly two-thirds of the city, they finally raised the white flag and surrendered to their enemies.  At the same time, the following Yunnan Army and Central Army.  Reinforcements from the Sichuan Army also arrived one after another.  Zhang Lingfu and Tang Huaiyuan personally led their troops to Tengchong and Longling respectively, moved their headquarters forward, and ordered reinforcements to take over the first batch of counterattack troops.  Immediately march towards Myitkyina and Lashio at full speed to suppress the living space of the US military in northern Myanmar.  In the direction of Myitkyina, the main force of the US Army on the West Route also arrived more than ten hours ago, and regardless of fatigue, they immediately launched an attack on the Chinese garrison positions in Myitkyina.  Under the command of Sun Liren, Wang Dafei and others, the defenders were flexible and capable of both offense and defense, with the strength of only one division.  It was a draw with tens of thousands of U.S. troops.  After more than ten hours of fierce fighting with the US military, the US military failed to capture even an inch of position.  Dai Jinen was furious and immediately ordered his troops to concentrate all their efforts on a massive attack. At the same time, he deployed small groups of elite troops to detour from both wings in an attempt to break through the defense lines of the airport and train station controlled by the squadron.  Complete the isolation tactical purpose of the Myitkyina garrison.  Sun Liren ordered Wang Dafei to lead his troops to defend the airport, and he personally led two infantry regiments of the Tax Police General Regiment to engage in the fiercest battle on the front line with the U.S. military, which was several times his own.  The fierce battle between the two sides lasted from noon to the afternoon. Thousands of athletes from the Tax Police Corps were led by General Sun Liren.  It repelled dozens of onslaughts by the U.S. military, large and small.  It caused thousands of casualties to the US military, and its combat performance even made Wang Dafei's ace paratroopers give a thumbs up.  Of course, during this period, they received strong support from Chinese Air Force fighter jets.     but.  Their casualties were also very high, with more than 5,000 people in both regiments.  By the end of the battle in the evening, more than half of the casualties had been lost, with 80% of the casualties being killed in action.  “Moreover, many battalion and company commanders died for their country, and the entire organization was almost crippled.  However, General Sun Liren issued an order at the critical moment, and all the commanders of the defensive units in the city died in battle.  The deputy regimental commander takes over as commander, the deputy regimental commander dies in action and the chief of staff takes over, the battalion commander dies in action and the company commander dies in action as the platoon commander, and so on.  Fight to the end.  Their tenacious combat power not only impressed the friendly forces, but also surprised the Americans.  Dai Jinen sent a message to MacArthur overnight, saying that the fighting strength of the Myitkyina defenders was astonishing and that the attacking troops suffered heavy losses.  He expressed concern about whether there could be a way back.  After MacArthur received Dekin’s pessimistic message, he cursed angrily.  "General, now is not the time to be angry. I heard that the rear troops in Longling and Tengchong had suffered too many casualties and were forced to surrender to the besieging Chinese troops. The second line of defense near the China-Myanmar border was also attacked by the Chinese.  The Japanese army has broken through, and Dai Jin'en's army is in danger of being attacked from both sides by the Chinese army. At this time, we should quickly find a way to help Dai Jin'en's army break through," Colonel Mick quickly analyzed the situation and persuaded.  "When will the reinforcement plane that Mr. President promised arrive?" MacArthur asked with a livid face.  "It will take two days at the earliest. I'm afraid it will be too late!" Colonel Mick said sadly.  No one could have imagined that the Chinese ** squadron would actually use a new type of fighter aircraft that could change the course of the war, causing unimaginable casualties to the US military's blocking forces.  As a result, the situation in the north of Myanmar suddenly took a turn for the worse.  Therefore, MacArthur’s original combat plan was no longer feasible. In the past dozen hours, the main force of the U.S. military continuously attacked Myitkyina and Lashio, all of which ended in failure.  This has led to an extreme deterioration of the war situation. If you are not careful, nearly 100,000 U.S. Army troops may be caught in a two-sided attack by the Chinese Army, and the entire army will be annihilated.  MacArthur obviously also thought of this terrible result, and made a decisive decision: "Return the call to Dai Jinen immediately., asking him to bypass Myitkyina and Lashio at night and break out to the south!  "Colonel Mick said with some worry: "General, Lashio and Myitkyina are both in the hands of the Chinese. These two places guard the main transportation routes. If you can bypass them, you will have to climb mountains and abandon all heavy equipment.  "Moreover, the high mountains on both sides of the Hukang River Valley are endless virgin forests with no human habitation at all. It is a problem for the troops to get out if they enter there.  " "That's better than being massed and annihilated by the Chinese army at the gates of Myitkyina and Lashio. Let's send power to Dai Jin'en immediately.  "When MacArthur thought about the new fighter planes that could destroy any U.S. military field fortifications, he lost confidence in Daikin's army to turn to defense and wait for reinforcements, and ordered resolutely. "Yes.  " Seeing that MacArthur had made up his mind, Colonel Mick had no choice but to stand up and bow his head in response, and then turned around to accept the order.  In Kunming City, Zhang Xinghan's office was crowded with generals, including Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Long Yun, Liu Xiang and other Yunnan troops.  The generals gathered together. Jiang Baili sat under Zhang Xinghan and said to everyone excitedly: "Everyone, since the Army Aviation Forces joined the war, our army's east-west offensive troops have been reporting frequent successes, and they have continuously broken through the US military's blockade. It is expected to be tomorrow at the latest.  In the morning, the main U.S. forces in Myitkyina and Lashio areas will be encircled.  In this battle in northern Myanmar, our army is about to win!  "When everyone heard this, they all immediately beamed with joy and started whispering excitedly. "Now, let me ask the chairman to tell you about our next strategic plan and goals.  "Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan and said. Zhang Xinghan held a pre-written document in his hand and said: "Dear colleagues, our army is in sight of victory in the northern Burma battle. Due to the development and changes of the war situation, I changed the original combat plan and objectives in a timely manner.  That is to continue to send troops south, take advantage of the empty military strength of the British and American coalition forces in Southeast Asia, sweep across Southeast Asian countries, and seize the colonies of Britain, the United States, France and other countries.  I will now divide the combat areas and territories for you.  " Zhang Xinghan paused, looked at the crowd who were inexplicably happy and excited, and continued: "Our army is in sight of victory in the Burma War, and the main force of 100,000 US troops is about to be destroyed.  After this war, the colonial powers of Britain, the United States and France will become extremely weak in a short period of time, and they will not be able to receive reinforcements and recovery in the short term.  Therefore, I decided that General Li Zongren and General Gu Zhutong would immediately march from the Guangxi border to the French colonial Vietnam. Long Yun, General Liu Xiang and General Hu Zongnan would lead their troops south along the Myanmar Railway to capture Myanmar.  Thailand, Cambodia and other places.  The purpose of this battle is to completely capture the Indochina Peninsula. After achieving the above goals, the troops will rest and regroup on the spot to prepare for the next move into Indochina.  " When everyone heard Zhang Xinghan's arrangement, they all beamed with joy. They all stood up excitedly and said, "Yes, those in lower ranks will definitely go all out and complete the commissioned military order to the death!  "  After receiving MacArthur's telegram, Dai Jin'en issued orders to the division commanders to disperse and break out around ten o'clock that night. Only a small force was left to paralyze the Chinese defenders in Myitkyina and Lashio areas.  At dawn, Sun Liren, Du Yuming, Dai Anlan and others discovered something was wrong, and immediately led their troops to defeat the US military's suspected troops. "Sir, based on the current situation, all the Americans have escaped."  Entering deep mountains and old forests.  "At the headquarters in Myitkyina City, Wang Dafei approached Sun Li. "Escape into the deep mountains and forests?  "Sun Liren said: "Immediately send a message to Shangfeng for instructions on whether to go into the mountain to pursue us.  "Wang Dafei ordered a communications soldier to do it, and said easily: "Sir Sun, according to the Burmese guide's account, the virgin forest that the US military drilled into was uninhabited for hundreds of miles. It was filled with miasma, snakes and insects, and swamps. It can be said that it is  There are many dangers, and even if they can get out, there will only be a few people left.  The U.S. military is seeking its own death.  " Sun Liren nodded and said: "I didn't expect victory in this battle to come so quickly.  "That's right, this is thanks to our Army Aviation Force. With their addition, the US military is simply vulnerable."  “Imagine that there are hundreds of helicopters with machine guns shooting back and forth above their heads. It would be difficult for the Yankees not to die.  "Wang Dafei said excitedly, "Well, this helicopter is indeed the nemesis of the ground troops.  ," Sun Liren nodded and said, "But Commander Wang, can the rocket launcher equipped by your regiment shoot into the air?  " "You mean the bazooka?  Wang Dafei immediately waved his hand and shook his head and said: "It's useless. The Americans also have this thing. The effective range of this thing is only one hundred meters. It can't shoot against the air."The shooting is estimated to be even less, and may not even reach 80 meters.  “Moreover, the Americans did not equip a large number of these rocket launchers, and in their haste, the air defense forces were not prepared.  There is nothing we can do about our helicopters.  " Sun Liren nodded and said thoughtfully: "Chairman Zhang did not use these Army aviation aircraft to attack the US military at the beginning, but only used them when the US military was in a hurry. I am afraid it is because of this, right?  " "We don't know this clearly. It's amazing to appoint troops and use troops.  "When Wang Dafei mentioned Zhang Xinghan, he said with great admiration. "The third update is completed. I'm so tired. Please vote for recommendations.

    Sun Liren smiled slightly and did not discuss this issue in depth.  Regardless of whether Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to weaken the strength of the local warlord factions in the southwest or had other purposes, as the commander of the Myitkyina Defense Campaign, he could not make too much suspicion.  After all, Zhang Xinghan devoted his two most elite airborne ace troops and a large part of his air force to the southwest defense battle.  Without the strong support of Zhang Xinghan’s air force and logistics supplies.  Sun Liren understood that the current situation in this defense battle was impossible. Under the powerful combined ground and air firepower of the US military, it was a question whether the Southwest Border Defense Force could hold the Nujiang defense line.  ………… At the same time, Kunming City.  After Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Long Yun, Liu Xiang, Hu Zongnan and others left with satisfaction.  Guo Zhong also reported the latest situation on the front line to Zhang Xinghan.  Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili discussed: "Brother Baili, the Americans unexpectedly escaped into the mountains and forests. What do you think we should do next?" Jiang Baili looked at the combat map hanging on the wall, pondered for a long time, and turned his head.  He said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, I think that since the US military has fled into the mountains, there is very little chance of turning back. But just in case, I suggest that elite troops be transferred from the frontline troops to stay in Myitkyina and Lashio."  At the entrance to the mountain, planes were dispatched from time to time to pursue and carry out air raids on the US troops who had fled into the mountains and forests. On the frontal battlefield, our eastern and western armies should immediately march towards the remaining troops in Mandalay, Yangon and other important towns in Myanmar.  The 2nd and 3rd Airborne Regiments suffered heavy casualties, so if they were left behind, they would also need to rest and recuperate, and secondly, they would be able to guard the transportation thoroughfares such as Myitkyina and Lashio, and they could also serve as a check and balance for the armies going south to sweep across Southeast Asia.  "It's a means." Zhang Xinghan nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense, Zhongzi. I'll send it to the front line immediately." "Yes." Guo Zhong quickly accepted the order.  ……… Three days later, Zhang Lingfu, Tang Huaiyuan, Du Yuming, Sun Liren and others led hundreds of thousands of troops to advance rapidly toward southern Myanmar along railways and highways.  The main force of the British and American coalition forces has fled into the mountains. The defenses of the towns along the way are extremely weak. In addition, the Chinese army is covered by a large number of aircraft and helicopters of the Army Aviation Force.  All the troops were equally well balanced.  In just three days, they marched more than 200 kilometers and were about to reach the gates of Mandalay.  MacArthur took a warship to evacuate Mandalay from the Irrawaddy River overnight. The British and American coalition defenders in Mandalay also retreated south along the railway line to Yangon, officially abandoning this important town in central Myanmar.  As soon as the U.S. troops withdrew, the vanguard of a regiment led by Du Yuming's Dai Anlan arrived in the eastern suburbs of Mandalay.  Encountering almost no resistance, Dai Anlan commanded his troops to easily invade the city of Mandalay. Some of the remaining Burmese servants cleverly threw the British flag down from the top of the city.  Then it was replaced with a ** flag that I didn’t know where it came from.  ………… The White House, Office of the President, United States.  The atmosphere here is quite heavy. Marshall and Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Theater Nimitz, who hurriedly flew back from Hawaii, are standing on thin ice.  Roosevelt, who had always been very respectful to them, was standing by the window of his office with a livid face and was silent.  Suddenly, Roosevelt turned around, seeming to be talking to himself and asking: "Where did the new aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army come from? Their technological level is so backward, how could they develop one after another like ours?"  The United States of America is not yet equipped with new aircraft? " Marshall said: "Mr. President, the Chinese are now in a strategic alliance with the Germans. Will their new aircraft be aided by the Germans? " Nimitz nodded, and they also  We can only choose to believe that the new aircraft that directly led to the collapse of the situation in Myanmar were made by the Germans.  This is more acceptable to them than the fighters produced by the Chinese.  Roosevelt sighed heavily and asked Marshall: "What should we do now? The situation in Myanmar is out of control, and it is likely to affect the entire Southeast Asia. Do you have any good ideas?" Marshall pondered: "Mr. President, I think we must  Be prepared for the worst, such as losing the French-allied colonies of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and the British-allied Burmese colonies. Of course, the Chinese army may also attack Siam. We don’t need to worry about this. It’s best for them.  It will be more beneficial to us if we can fight with the Siamese.sp; At the same time, we must also increase the defense strength of the British Indochina colony as much as possible to prevent the Chinese army from taking the opportunity to advance westward and capture India.  We defend India, the Malaysian Islands, the Philippine Islands, and the Indonesian Islands.  This will ensure our military presence in Asia, especially in the Western Pacific.  As long as the time is right, we can launch a counterattack against the Chinese at any time.  " "Must we give up Myanmar and Vietnam?  "Roosevelt seemed a little unwilling, and as soon as the war started, allies such as Britain and France lost their colonies in Southeast Asia, which made Roosevelt very embarrassed. "At this stage, this is a last resort measure. Our 100,000-strong army has been  Still lost in the deep mountains and forests of Myanmar.  There are gains and losses only when there are gains and losses.  The outcome of a war cannot be determined by gains and losses overnight.  This kind of war between big powers is about comprehensive national strength, war potential and technological strength, and temporary concessions.  Doesn't mean we're a complete failure.  "Marshall persuaded. "Roosevelt nodded unequivocally and turned his eyes to the window. The light of the setting sun shone in, and Roosevelt's eyes were closed tightly and he had to turn his head.  In the Yunnan Army and the Central Army  While capturing Mandalay and marching towards southern Myanmar, the Guangxi army and the Central Army Gu Zhutong in Guangxi also entered northern Vietnam and northeastern Laos. The French mercenaries were weak and were not Chinese at all.  The opponent of the Southwest Border Guard. After a month of continuous fighting, the more than 600,000 troops of the Southwest Border Guard divided into groups and swept through the troops from Britain, the United States, France and other countries in Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos, except for Cambodia and Siam (Thailand).  ) Confronted with Cambodia and Siam in the southeast and across most of the Indo-China Peninsula, and across the sea from the Malay Peninsula, nearly 100,000 British and American troops who fled into the mountains and forests of Myanmar learned that Yangon was captured by the Chinese army.  With no way to retreat, they were forced to surrender to the squadron. But when they walked out of the virgin forest after all the hard work, less than half of the original 80,000-strong army remained.  The others were either separated or killed by jungle killers such as diseases. After the remaining 30,000 people surrendered, they were immediately imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp in Mandalay. Not long after, they were joined by tens of thousands.  The prisoners of the Burmese servant army were taken to the China-Myanmar border together, because Zhang Xinghan had decided to build a China-Myanmar highway to facilitate future connections between the southwest and the Indochina Peninsula. It was also to prepare for future large-scale immigration, cultural, economic and other aspects.  At the same time, good news came frequently on the northern battlefield. After more than a month of long-distance strangulation, the two major frontier defense forces in the Northeast and Northwest finally basically wiped out the Soviets' effective forces in the Far East. At the same time, China's southwest border defense forces invaded Yangon.  On the same day, Gao Chu led his troops to attack Lake Baikal. Du Ting's elite Ge Quanwu led 30,000 people to recapture Sakhalin Island. The battle flags of the National Revolutionary Army on the island were wiped out.  Flying. In less than half a year, Japan regained millions of square kilometers of territory from Lake Baikal in the west to Sakhalin in the north and to the sea in the east. In addition, the war flag of the South was flying to Central and South China.  At the southernmost tip of the peninsula, toward the southeast, Chinese warships and fighter planes began to cruise in the waters and skies above the Japanese archipelago. Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others had returned to Nanjing from Kunming. As soon as they arrived in Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan approached Zhou Gong, Zhu Gong and others to discuss whether it was right.  Siam and Cambodia sent troops. In order to ensure the safety and absolute dominance of the Chinese Southwest Expeditionary Force in Indochina, the Military Commission finally decided to send troops to Siam and Cambodia and ordered the Kingdom of Siam to surrender to the Chinese Army within a week.  ps: It’s 600 chapters. I have never written so many chapters and word count, which can be regarded as a new milestone. In addition, I would like to inform you that Huben will be finished next month, and the number of subsequent words should be around 100,000 to 200,000.  If nothing else, it will be finished next month.  The new book has also been decided. Not surprisingly, it will be about the Anti-Japanese War of the Republic of China. The name should be "Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War". This time Qiu Feng will work particularly hard to write this new book and strive to reach a new level.  There will be another update later.

 Volume 1: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 601: Decisive Battle in Asia (1)

    The Kingdom of Siam was forced to sign a Sino-Siam Offensive and Defensive Alliance Agreement with Du Yuming, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma, due to the power of the Chinese Army and internal and external difficulties.  (Zhang Lingfu has been transferred back to China, and Du Yuming has officially taken over as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Frontier Force Expeditionary Force in Myanmar.) According to the Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can establish military bases in Siam, and Siam’s diplomacy and military must obey it**  Team arrangements.  The day after the agreement was signed, Siam declared war on Britain, the United States, France and other countries.  Zhang Xinghan telegraphed Chairman Chiang and Li Zongren and others, instructing Gu Zhutong to lead an army of 150,000 to march into Cambodia and southern Vietnam.  Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Dai Anlan and others led the main force of 300,000 soldiers on the border between Myanmar and Indochina, ready to march westward at any time.  However, after one or two months of continuous marching and fighting, the expeditionary force was actually at the end of its strength and was in urgent need of rest and recuperation.  Temporarily unable to advance westward, the Americans and British have strengthened their defense forces in Indochina.  The existing Indochina Peninsula has just been occupied and needs to be digested, so the Southwest Expeditionary Force has temporarily suspended military operations.  Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity to transfer all the army aviation troops and airborne troops back to the Northeast for training. At the same time, he transferred outstanding airborne troops from the military branch schools in Huangpu and Longxing to supplement the losses suffered by the Second and Third Airborne Regiments in this battle.  “In view of the fact that the airborne troops and the army aviation troops have played an important role in previous battles and their performance is very outstanding.  Zhang Xinghan began to expand the airborne troops to the size of three divisions.  Using the existing three regiments as the basis, qualified recruits will be recruited from major military regions and schools across the country for training.  The Army Aviation Force has also been urgently expanded to facilitate use in larger-scale battles in the future.  Since the Americans’ new aircraft has not yet been developed, all fighting on the Asian battlefield has been temporarily suspended.  "However, countries such as Britain, the United States, and France are desperately strengthening their war preparations, especially the Americans. The national war machine is already in operation.  Countless tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and warships are moving from production workshops to testing grounds at an alarming speed.  At the same time, the Americans have also launched a large-scale recruitment campaign, and the total strength of the US military is rapidly expanding at an alarming rate.  The main reason is that Americans have suffered heavy losses in Asia.  Roosevelt’s so-called revanchism temporarily incited the anger in the hearts of the grieving American people to an unprecedented height.  Americans are angry with revenge.  Actively preparing for another showdown with the Chinese ** team.  "Compared with the calm in Asia, the battlefield in Eastern Europe is raging with war.  The Soviets were already in danger under the fierce attack of the German army.  In order to prevent the Soviet army from being defeated prematurely by the German army, the German army and the Chinese army would join forces in Asia and turn the war to Western European countries.  Countries such as Britain, the United States, and France began to secretly provide comprehensive assistance to the Soviet Union, including free assistance of military equipment, strategic supplies, and funds.  Zhang Xinghan turned a blind eye to what Britain, the United States, France and other countries were doing.  It is not a bad thing for China in the future to allow Lao Maozi and Germans to consume each other.  Of course, in order to prevent Hitler from declaring war on France and other countries in a rage, he would fall into the difficult situation of fighting on two fronts.  Zhang Xinghan still asked Duke Zhou to make another mission to Germany, and he himself sent several urgent telegrams to Hitler.  Under Zhang Xinghan’s persuasion.  The angry Hitler finally agreed to suspend his plan to declare war on Britain, the United States, and France, especially France.  Concentrate all your efforts on dealing with the Soviets and relieve their worries.  Zhang Xinghan took advantage of this rare opportunity to urgently expand his airborne, army aviation and naval forces.  But the Americans obviously didn’t have enough time for Zhang Xinghan.  Only four months later, the Americans developed the P-51 Mustang fighter ahead of schedule.  This is a new fighter aircraft that completely beats the Zero in terms of book data.  Only Zhang Xinghan knew that it came out three years earlier than in history, and entered service five years earlier than in history.  Because the Americans are eager to launch a counterattack on the Asian battlefield and regain the initiative in the war.     so.  It only took less than two days from the test flight of the P-51 Mustang fighter to entering service.  Then Roosevelt approved the Army and Navy’s application to adopt the P-51 as the main aircraft of the army.  The terrifying production capabilities of the Americans were fully highlighted at this moment. In less than three months, more than 2,000 Submarine fighter jets were in service with the U.S. Naval Aviation and Land-Based Aviation Forces.  After discussions with Marshall and other staff, Roosevelt believed that the AlliesThe time is ripe to counterattack Southeast Asia, the Japanese Archipelago, and the Taiwan Archipelago to avenge our past humiliation.  At this time, it has just been seven months since the Chinese Expeditionary Force swept across Southeast Asia, although seven months is a bit short.  But Zhang Xinghan still expanded the size of the airborne force, army aviation force and new air force force as many times as possible.  Especially the airborne troops have expanded from the original three regiments to three divisions.  The number of helicopters in the Army Aviation Force has also expanded from more than 300 to 700.  The number of me-262 jet fighters has also increased to one thousand.  In addition, the Chinese Air Force also has 2,000 Zero fighter jets and 1,500 BF109 fighter jets.  More than a thousand Stuka dive bombers.  There are one thousand C-47 transport aircraft and one thousand B-17 Flying Fortress bombers each.  The only thing that hasn’t made much progress is the overall strength of the naval fleet.  Because Zhang Xinghan spent most of his enemy kills on expanding the Air Force and Army Aviation Forces, producing new aircraft and helicopters, and stocking up on various strategic materials needed for the next large-scale decisive battle.  However, after tasting the sweetness of the glorious results brought by the Xxi submarine, Zhang Xinghan still used the insufficient enemy kill value to expand the number of Xxi submarines to one thousand.  This is already the largest underwater force in the world today.  It is also one of Zhang Xinghan’s biggest trump cards in the Pacific decisive battle with Britain, the United States, France and other countries.  ??And in the two years since the reorganization of the National Government, Zhang Xinghan has left the internal affairs to the hands of the Communists headed by ** and others.  The political affairs at all levels managed by them have achieved initial results, and land equalization has been carried out in most parts of the country.  Most farmers have acquired their own land.  For a time, the people's support for the revolution reached a fever pitch, which Zhang Xinghan acquiesced to.  It is also not paving the way for ** to come to power.  In order to help the army win the most critical battle with the Western powers, the Communist Party of China actively mobilized the power of the broad masses of the country and did everything possible to support the army in combat.  The original Red Army was also adapted into part of the **.  They are also stationed in Shandong and other coastal areas to take on security tasks in East China.  With the enthusiastic support of the people across the country, all the war potential of such a huge China has been fully utilized.  Although China does not have as developed industries and smooth roads as the United States.  "However, thanks to the unrepentant efforts of tens of millions of people, a large number of roads and bridges have been repaired, and the deployment of troops and materials in various theaters has reached an unprecedented level of speed and efficiency.  In Nanjing City, Zhang Xinghan was convening a meeting of members of the Military Commission.  Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi stood next to the map and pointed to a command pole and said to everyone: "Everyone, according to reliable intelligence, the Americans have concentrated more than 90% of their naval fleet and air force this time, and another 100%.  At the same time, the British naval fleet has also joined the US military camp and will assist the US military in launching an attack on us. The French have also mobilized an expeditionary group consisting of 100,000 army and air forces, and are currently stationed in India from the Strait of Malacca.  China. Prepare to join forces with the British and American armies to counterattack our Southwest Expeditionary Force on land. "Commander Bai, just tell us how many troops the Western powers have sent this time. We all know it."  "Liu Xiang, a member of the Military Commission, interrupted Bai Chongxi. "The total number of land, sea and air forces mobilized by the Americans this time is no less than one million troops. The French have 100,000, and the British have nearly 300,000. Counting them  Former defensive force in the colonial Indochina.  The total strength assembled by our enemies this time is no less than 1.5 million.  We should not underestimate the enemy's 1.5 million people. The automation of their naval ships, air force aircraft, tanks and individual weapons far exceeds ours.  The combat effectiveness is no less than that of our three million troops.  "

    "What President Bai said is true. The British and American coalition forces are fully prepared this time and are vowing to avenge their shame! We must not be careless." Jiang Baili nodded in agreement with Bai Chongxi.  When everyone saw Bai Chongxi and Jiang Baili saying this, they felt a little heavy.  They also became a little uneasy about the future of the National Government, and began to whisper among each other in low voices.  Zhang Xinghan knocked on the table, coughed twice and said: "Quiet, quiet, we are fully prepared for this battle. Our air force and submarine force have more than doubled in water, and we have  With the support of the 40 million people across the country and the geographical advantages of fighting on the mainland, we will be able to defeat the arrogant Western powers and defend our territorial waters, airspace and territory!" "However, as senior generals of the National Government, we ourselves must first do it!  You have to have confidence. If you are all afraid of wolves and tigers, how can you let the millions of soldiers below go to war? I tell you, China has suffered many foreign invasions in its five thousand years of history, but  No country has truly conquered this great nation. Not even the Japanese. Even if we fail in the battle on the first island chain, even if we lose all our navy and air force, we still have tens of millions.  Army and reserve personnel and 40 million compatriots, we will continue to fight to the end until the moment of victory!" After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he took the lead and stood up, and said loudly: "So, I hope there will be no more battles in this war.  Before deciding the winner, you can put aside the personal grudges between the original factions, and put national interests first! As long as we can defeat the Western powers such as Britain and the United States, all of Asia, Africa, and even Europe will be ours!  "At that time, you will only think that there are too many territories and too few soldiers, so you have to look further!" Although everyone is vowing to deal with it in unison, in their hearts they are still holding on to the great blueprint envisioned by Zhang Xinghan.  Have a skeptical attitude.  In early February of the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), the British, American and French combined fleets arrived in the waters of Japan and the South China Sea in two groups.  In the direction of the Sea of ??Japan, the Chinese dispatched troops in Japan have adopted a shrinking defense in order to rely on the air support of shore-based aviation units. In addition to the xxi submarine force, they are still cruising in the outer sea looking for opportunities.  The main force of the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy's dispatched force in Japan retreated to the coastal area of ????Hokkaido, Japan.  In the South China Sea, a group of submarine forces attacked a destroyer formation of the US military. The US military subsequently mobilized a large number of submarines and destroyers to form a search and pursuit group.  Launched a pursuit of the Chinese submarine force, which turned around and evacuated as soon as it was hit.  Because the strength disparity between the enemy and ourselves was too great, the XXX submarine detachment sent an urgent call for assistance to the headquarters of the border defense forces stationed in Taiwan.     Taipei.  Xue Yue, who was urgently discussing countermeasures with the combat staff adjutants, received a report from the communications corps.  Immediately ordered Liu Cuigang, the commander of the air force stationed in Taiwan, to lead a fighter group to the battle waters for reinforcements.  After receiving the order, Liu Cuigang, who was already on the alert, immediately led his troops to take off and rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred for reinforcements.  After more than half an hour of flight, with the help of the submarine force, Liu Cuigang led his troops to find the U.S. Navy fleet that was pursuing its own submarine force.  And immediately launched an attack on it.  After some panic, the U.S. destroyer formation also concentrated its anti-aircraft firepower to block the attack. At the same time, it also urgently called its own naval aviation forces to come for support.  The U.S. aircraft carrier battle group set off immediately after replenishing fuel, fresh water and other supplies at the Luzon Naval Base.  This destroyer formation is considered a forward.  Therefore, the distance between the two sides is not far, which is why the US submarine force was able to arrive so quickly.  Therefore, not long after receiving the request for help from the destroyer formation, a group of US carrier-based aircraft roared over.  The Chinese Zero fighter group stopped the destroyer formation that was attacking them in the air and started a fight. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  The Zero fighter group, led by Liu Cuigang, turned around to face the enemy without fear.  But as soon as they fought, an accident happened. Liu Cuigang and the pilots were surprised to find that the speed of the fighter jets dispatched by the US military was as fast as them.  And there are vague signs of exceeding it.  Firepower, turning radius, and maneuverability are also much stronger than before.  The air battle scene of one-sided slaughter by Zero fighter jets no longer exists.  After more than ten minutes of air combat, only one US fighter plane was destroyed. ? And China’s air forceLiu Cuigang lost six Zero fighters. Such a large exchange ratio was something Liu Cuigang had never encountered before.  With great horror in his heart, he immediately ordered to get rid of the battle and return home.  The U.S. military fighter jets were in hot pursuit. Two more Zeros failed to escape on the way and were shot down by U.S. military fighter jets. The pilots parachuted and their lives were uncertain.  In the end, it was because the U.S. military chased the mainland of Taiwan and was hit by the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the Chinese ** team that it was forced to stop the pursuit and return home.  Liu Cuigang's fighter plane was also hit. It emitted black smoke and staggered into a field near Chiayi Airport. He himself luckily escaped with his life.  ………………Nanjing, Operations Department of the Military Commission.  "Committee, General Xue Yue sent an urgent message from Taipei. The border defense forces stationed in Taiwan have launched their first exchange of fire with the US military. The two sides engaged in an air battle. The US military should have dispatched new fighter planes. A Zero led by the deputy commander of the Air Force, General Liu Cuigang.  The fighter brigade fought with it and suffered a tragic defeat. It lost nine fighter planes, which was actually the largest battle loss since the Zero entered service. Liu Cuigang's own fighter plane was also damaged and forced to land, but he escaped by chance," Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghanhui with a heavy look.  Zhang Xinghan was not too surprised. Neither the Military Command Bureau nor the Security Bureau could provide accurate information on whether the new US military fighter jets were in service.  “After all, this is the most closely guarded military secret of the U.S. military today, so it’s normal that we can’t get it.  Therefore, the new Air Force me-262 jet fighter group is still continuing to strengthen training and expanding its scale at the Northeast Air Force Base.  The result of this small-scale air battle in the South China Sea has proved that the US military has definitely equipped with new aircraft, and it is an advanced fighter aircraft that can completely defeat the Zero.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan immediately picked up a phone and ordered: "Inform Gao Zhihang immediately, and a thousand me-262 fighters will take off immediately and go south to join the war!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinghan turned to Jiang Baili and said: "Brother Baili, please  You go and notify the Shanghai Air Force Base to prepare for the temporary landing of the jet fighter group. At the latest, a group of fighter jets will land at the airport, replenish fuel, and then fly to the Taiwan Islands." At the same time, Roosevelt is also closely following!  Concerned about the first battle results of our new aircraft.  As soon as the battle ended, the frontline commanders hurriedly compiled the results into a telegram and quickly sent it to the White House in Washington, USA.  When the secretary came in excitedly to report, both Roosevelt and Marshall, who were nervous, stood up one after another.  "Mr. President, General Marshall, the P-51 Mustang fighter jets won the first battle, shooting down and damaging nine Chinese Zero fighter jets. With an exchange ratio of one to nine, they completely defeated the opponent. Winning the first victory on the Pacific battlefield!" The secretary was excited.  He said to Roosevelt and Marshall, even forgetting to salute.  Roosevelt and Marshall did not care, and looked at each other excitedly. Roosevelt said excitedly: "Great, Mustang fighter jets are great existences. They will rewrite history. They are also well-deserved heroic fighter jets of the United States of America." "Mustang fighter jets have  With such an outstanding performance, in this Pacific Battle, we will definitely be able to avenge our past humiliation and completely defeat the Chinese team!" Marshall also said with a red face.  "Power on, power on to commend all the pilots who participated in this battle. They are the best pilots. In addition, those who participated in the design of the Mustang fighter should also be rewarded. They have made even more contributions."  At Chiayi Airport, Liu Cuigang has been searched and rescued by the ground  The troops were found and returned to the airport.  At this time, the morale of the surviving pilots at the airport was very low.  A C-47 transport plane landed smoothly at the airport escorted by four Zero fighter jets.  A general walked out of the hatch surrounded by guards and adjutants. When Liu Cuigang saw it, he turned out to be General Xue Yue of the Taiwan Border Guard.  Immediately, more than a dozen surviving pilots ran over to greet them.  "Commander Xue, we have been disadvantaged in the battle, smeared the Chinese people, and damaged morale. Please punish us!" Liu Cuigang lowered his head in shame.  Xue Yue stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looked around at all the pilots and said: "Brothers, you don't have to be depressed. Victory or defeat is a common occurrence in the military. You are still the best pilots and the best guardians of the blue sky. I have received the exact news.  The failure of this air battle was because the U.S. military was equipped with a new type of advanced fighter aircraft, which was specially developed to restrain our Zero." As soon as he finished speaking, the pilots including Liu Cuigang all changed their colors and looked at each other in confusion.  surprised.  Xue Yue quickly continued: "However, you don't have to worry??There is no need to be afraid, we already have more advanced fighters and they are on their way.  Therefore, what you need to do is to cheer up and recharge your batteries so that you can fight again in the future and avenge your previous shame!  "    "yes!  Liu Cuigang took the lead and responded with his chest raised: "As long as we are given the ability to outperform the US military's aircraft, we will definitely kill them and avenge our comrades who sacrificed their lives for the country."  " Xue Yue nodded and said to Liu Cuigang: "Commander Liu, come with me.  Liu Cuigang quickly followed him to the side and asked, "Commander Xue, what are your orders?"  " "It's like this. This new aircraft is a brand-new fighter plane. You and your brothers should have never flown it. In order to ensure that you can master this fighter plane as soon as possible and put it into actual combat.  The committee member asked me to tell you that you will take a group of pilots to Nanjing for training, and you will do the ideological work of the pilots.  ” ps: Just this one update today, and three more updates tomorrow to make up for it!

    Liu Cuigang looked at Xue Yue with some doubts and asked: "General, is this a punishment that will be detrimental to our battle this time?"  The new fighter planes have been assigned pilots, who have been trained for nearly a year and are more experienced in piloting the new fighter planes than you are. However, there will definitely be battle losses, so I have assigned you to go to Nanjing to participate.  The piloting training of new fighter aircraft is only a temporary departure. Once the frontline war becomes urgent and there is an urgent shortage of pilots, you will be transferred back. Therefore, you must use your urgency to train. The sooner you become familiar with the new fighter jets.  The sooner the fighter's flying combat skills can compete with the US Air Force, understand?" "Yes, I understand." Liu Cuigang was relieved, and after saluting, he turned to the pilot.  They ran.  ……… At the same time that the Pacific Fleet of the British and American coalition approached the first island chain where the Chinese Navy was stationed from two directions.  Zhang Xinghan also urgently mobilized an armored group army from each theater, totaling more than a thousand tanks and combat vehicles, and two heavy artillery brigades, and rushed out of the country and into Myanmar through the newly built Yunnan-Burma Highway to strengthen the strength of the Southwest Expeditionary Force in Southeast Asia.  Prepare to confront the armies of Britain, the United States, France, the Netherlands and other countries that are massing in Indochina.  Speaking of the Burma Highway, it can be regarded as a miracle during the modern war period, but it is different from the original Burma Road in history.  Its construction is no longer paved with the sweat and blood of countless Chinese people in southwest China, but from the 60,000 to 70,000 US military prisoners who surrendered to the Chinese Army in the Burmese battlefield and the hundreds of thousands of British, American and French soldiers from Burma, Vietnam and other countries.  Servants of the state were captured by the army.  It was completed after more than half a year of round-the-clock repairs.  Furthermore, in order to more conveniently transport various strategic materials to the Southwest Expeditionary Force and ensure smooth logistics lines, this road is nearly a thousand miles longer than before.  ?It runs directly from Kunming in China, and from Mandalay to Yangon in Myanmar.  The logistics supply convoy of the Chinese ** team can send a large amount of supplies directly from Kunming to the front line of the Burmese Expeditionary Force.  With such a large amount of work, one can imagine the manpower consumed.  Therefore, according to surveys and statistics by experts and professors in the field of history in later generations.  In order to build this strategic transportation hub that was extremely important to Southeast Asia at that time.  Of the more than 200,000 prisoners of the British, American, Burmese and Vietnamese troops and the hundreds of thousands of indigenous laborers in northern Burma, as many as 40% died of illness and exhaustion.  Therefore, this extremely important strategic transportation artery during the Republic of China was also called a strategic passage paved with bones by later historians.  The Southeast Asian peninsula was covered with war clouds, but at this time, the northeast and northwest were temporarily calm as the Japanese regained Sakhalin Island.  In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. While mobilizing the jet fighter group to go south to participate in the war, Zhang Xinghan secretly ordered Du Ting to transport the main force of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to the Lake Baiga area through the Siberian Railway.  After rendezvousing with the main force of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in the early days of Gaochu.  Immediately advance secretly along the railway to the southwest.  After arriving in the Novosibirsk area, we bypassed the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains and went straight to the Soviet army’s last strategic rear, the large granary and the large industrial base.  After heavy industrial areas such as Kiev were captured by the German army, the Kazakhstan region in Central Asia became the last strategic rear area of ??the Soviet army.  It is also the lifeblood of the Soviet Union.  Zhang Xinghan's move was absolutely fatal to the precarious Soviet Union.  This is also part of Zhang Xinghan’s comprehensive strategic plan.  Although most of the main force of the Soviet army has been transferred to the Volga River Basin to resist the German attack.  However, due to the important strategic location of Central Asia, the Soviet army still deployed millions of troops here to defend their last strategic rear.  This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Xinghan mobilized his two most elite border guards, the Northeast and Northwest border forces, with more than one million main elites, to participate in the war.  Two days later, the US military was encouraged by the victory in the last air battle. After careful preparations, it dispatched three aircraft carrier battle groups equipped with more than 200 P-51 Mustang fighter jets. More than 100 submarines finally launched their first attack on Taiwan's main island.  A massive attack.  Shen Honglie, commander of the Chinese Navy, and Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the border defense forces stationed in Taiwan, formed a joint command headquarters.  Commanding the Navy's 2nd and 3rd fleets and two flight groups consisting of 300 me-262 jet fighters that had just arrived on Taiwan's main island yesterday, they immediately fought.  The two engines immediately broke out in the largest sea and air decisive battle in human history.  Its scale far exceeds that of the combined naval fleet of Japan and Japan three years ago.The decisive battle in the Strait.  Both sides have invested more than a thousand submarines and warships, including nearly a hundred warships over 10,000 tons, including aircraft carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers.  In addition, there are more than a thousand combat aircraft of various types.  Nearly the entire South China Sea has turned into a battlefield with rumbling cannons and blazing flames.  Countless fighter planes from both sides shuttled back and forth in the sky, launching a desperate battle.  As the final pinnacle of piston fighters, the Mustang fighter is not far behind in some performances compared to jet fighters.  Therefore, the crucial aerial decisive battle fell into a fierce stage from the beginning.  The most surprised person should be the US military, which has just won a great victory that has never been achieved before.  The Mustang fighter that could have swept across the most advanced fighters of the Chinese ** team actually seemed to have malfunctioned.  With this sudden arrival of Chinese fighter jets of comparable numbers, they were inextricably killed and fell into a stalemate for a while.  And, as the battle progresses.  The slight performance gap between the two sides began to gradually show up. In addition, the pilots used by Zhang Xinghan to equip the jet fighters were all the most experienced veterans selected from various air force units.  Having experienced countless battles against Japan and the Soviet Union, their combat experience, especially their air combat experience, is far stronger than that of the US military pilots at this time.  Therefore, after a few minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the US military's P-51 Mustang fighter jets suffered major battle losses. Three Mustang fighter jets in a row were shot down by the Me-262.  This is for the US military.  In particular, the shock of the US military pilots being immersed in the situation was extremely huge. Many of them had just finished destroying Zero fighter jets two days ago.  Soon, a US military pilot discovered an astonishing anomaly and exclaimed on the radio: "I bought it. Damn it, these aircraft don't seem to be Zeros. Could they be another new aircraft of the Chinese People's Liberation Army?"  "His voice lingered like a spell in the minds of the US military pilots who were in the midst of a fierce battle. They had been unable to fight for a long time, and their belief in victory was even more shaken.  This unfavorable factor has caused the US military fighters, which were already passive, to fall into a more severe crisis.  Just five minutes later, in the rain of machine-gun shells that filled the sky like locusts, four more Mustang fighter jets were hit and exploded in the air, turning into brilliant and eye-catching fireworks. Various parts and components were accompanied by the remains of the American pilots.  Broken arms shot out all over the sky and fell into the vast sea.  The fierce battle on the sea was even more spectacular. Hundreds of large and small warships of the British and American coalition forces formed a dense and huge fire coverage network, pouring steel cannonballs at the speed of tens of thousands of tons per minute at the Chinese Navy fleet warships.  There were violent explosions everywhere on the sea, and there were waves everywhere that were lifted up by the shock wave of the explosion ten or even tens of meters.  Tens of thousands of athletes of the Chinese Navy were not afraid and fought back to the death while operating battleships.  As the largest battleship in the world, Huo Qubing was even more heroic, leading other battleships in a fierce exchange of fire with the British and American coalition battleships.  Although some Chinese warships were hit, no one abandoned the ship and escaped. They were determined to survive and die with the warship and fired the last cannonball at the enemy ship before sinking.  Use their lives and blood to fulfill their responsibilities and mission of defending China's maritime borders.  The underwater battlefield was no less intense than the surface battle. Hundreds of submarines did not adopt hit-and-run tactics this time.  Because of the inferiority of our own surface ships, they formed a battle formation and launched a bloody battle with the US destroyer group and submarine force.  Fortunately, the xxi submarine is ahead of the US military submarines in terms of performance data. In addition, the Chinese submarine sailors have accumulated extremely rich practical and navigation experience after nearly three years of underwater navigation.  The exchange ratio with the US military is basically maintained at one to five or even more.  The frontline commander of the U.S. military, MacArthur, is also on a U.S. aircraft carrier at the moment, anxiously and expectantly waiting for the process and results of this extraordinary decisive battle.  Suddenly, a communications adjutant rushed behind him, stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Air Force is in emergency." "What?" McAss was shocked when he heard this, and turned around with disbelief on his face.  He came over and asked: "What did you say? The Air Force is in emergency? How is this possible?" "General, the Air Force commander reported that the Chinese Air Force dispatched not a Zero fighter jet, but a new type of fighter jet that had never been seen before.  The flight speed, turning radius, firepower and defensive capabilities are all superior to our Mustang fighters. In the past half hour, the Air Force has lost more than twenty Mustang combat aircraft.??, if there is no support.  The strength gap between them and the Chinese fighter fleet will become wider and wider, and eventually a comprehensive defeat will be inevitable.  "The communications adjutant said. "A new aircraft that has never been seen before?  Not Type Zero?  MacArthur was horrified, but he had no time to think about what was going on. As the decisive battle was in progress, he had to respond, so he quickly told the communications adjutant: "Send power to the Luzon Air Force Base immediately.  Order all the fighter planes in the base to take off immediately and come to join the battle!  " "It's the general!  "The communications adjutant immediately stood up and responded, quickly turned around and ran away. PS: There are two more chapters to come.

    After another half an hour, more than a quarter of the US military's two hundred Mustang fighter jets had been lost, and the situation was in a precarious situation.  A large number of U.S. fighter planes arrived in time. With the addition of this new force, the U.S. Air Force, which was at a disadvantage, quickly regained the upper hand.  At this time, the number of U.S. military aircraft in the skies of the South China Sea has exceeded 700, including 600 new Mustang fighters. This is already the entire number of Mustang fighters equipped by the U.S. military in the Western Pacific Theater.  In addition, the First Fleet in the Eastern Pacific Theater is equipped with 600 aircraft, India is also equipped with 500 aircraft, and some are left in the mainland.  The U.S. Air Force increased its troops. After Xue Yue received the news, he immediately ordered another batch of me-262 jet fighters stationed in Taipei to take off.  This time Zhang Xinghan equipped Xue Yue with 500 jet fighters, which was slightly lower than the US military's Mustang piston fighters in overall number.  Four hundred were deployed to Wang Yizhe's dispatched troops to Japan, and the remaining more than a hundred were deployed in Shanghai and Nanjing.  It is used both for air defense and to train more pilots.  At the beginning of the war, Xue Yue only sent two hundred jet fighters tit for tat.  When the U.S. Air Force received reinforcements, the remaining 300 jet fighters came out in full force.  After more than 20 minutes, more than 300 me-262 jet fighters finally arrived.  However, just before they arrived, the two hundred jet fighters that had fought fiercely with the US military aircraft did not suffer much loss.  Because their flying speed and flying height are unmatched by piston fighters, coupled with their extremely powerful firepower.  Four 30mm machine guns are much more powerful than a Mustang fighter with only two 12.7mm machine guns.  Therefore, when they learned that their own reinforcements had arrived, they immediately lowered their flying altitude and turned around to kill them.  At this time, the total number of fighters on both sides has exceeded 1,100, and the combat airspace has also expanded to a range of hundreds of kilometers.  In the blue sea and blue sky, a huge scene.  The decisive battle destined to change history is fiercely underway.  It was hard to tell the winner for a while.  At the same time, in front of the giant combat map in the Operations Hall of the Nanjing Military Commission, Zhang Xinghan was staring at the map and smoking in thought.  Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Zhang Xinghan turned around slightly and saw Jiang Baili, who had just gone to the staff headquarters, hurried over.  "Brother Baili, how are you? How is the decisive battle in the Taiwan Strait going?" Zhang Xinghan asked while smoking a cigarette.  Jiang Baili shook his head and said: "No. Both the enemy and ours have put all their air forces into the battle, and the winner has not been determined yet. However, in the decisive battle on the water, our army suffered heavy losses. Huo Qubing has suffered serious damage, but  Still fighting." Zhang Xinghan took a heavy puff of cigarette and said: "The important thing is the air combat and the underwater submarine force. As long as they can win, our army will be able to completely control the sea and the air. "Jiang Baili quickly answered.  Said: "So far, the progress is quite smooth. In two hours of fighting, they sank no less than fifty U.S. submarines and ten U.S. destroyers. However, they also lost five Xxi submarines, which was the largest loss since the war began.  "Battle damage." "Yes." Zhang Xinghan nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and continued to ask: "Where is the battle in Southeast Asia?" Jiang Baili shook his head slightly and said, "We haven't received any feedback from the Southwest Border Guard yet.  "I guess not yet." Zhang Xinghan said doubtfully: "Dai Li came here just now to report that more than 500,000 British, American and French forces have completed their preparations for the war in Indochina.  The forward force, a group of more than 100,000 troops, should have been heading to the India-Myanmar border by now. It is estimated that this battle is coming soon. "Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Commissioner, compared to the direction of Myanmar, I am more worried about Central Asia.  During the war, the front line of the northwest and northeastern border guards was too long. Moreover, according to reports, the total strength of the Soviet army in Kazakhstan was definitely not less than one million troops. It is really doubtful.  " "As long as the German army is not defeated, we have every chance to take over Central Asia and completely cut off the Soviet Union's war potential. Although the Soviet army has millions of troops in this area, the real old main forces have already been mobilized.  The front line is to resist the German army. Most of these millions of troops are composed of new soldiers and local garrisons. Our army's combat strength is not very strong.It is a battle-hardened division with absolute advantages in ground armor clusters and air force.  The most important point is that the Soviet army in the Central Asian Plains will be undefeated. Our ground armored forces can maximize their mobility and drive straight in with overwhelming force, completely destroying the Soviet defense line.  One battle will determine the outcome.  " After a pause, Zhang Xinghan held a cigarette in one hand and pointed at the map with the other: "After taking Central Asia, the Soviet army has nothing to worry about. Our army of one million people immediately divided into two groups to attack the Indian colonies and cut off the British and American colonies.  The French allied forces attacked India from behind.  All the way, head towards the Middle East and join forces with the German army on land.  By then, the entire Eurasian continent will be completely in the hands of China and Germany.  By then, we will have the capital to fight a decisive battle with Britain and the United States. Under the ebb and flow of one another, we will definitely be able to achieve final victory.  ” ……… The ancient temple on the India-Myanmar border. A small U.S. military unit encountered a platoon of the Chinese Expeditionary Force patrolling this area, and a fierce battle broke out. The two sides encountered each other in a mountain forest, and the other side was obviously a jungle.  As soon as the battle began, the expeditionary force patrol sacrificed two riflemen. In the mountain forest, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and there was a second lieutenant platoon leader hiding behind the roots of a thousand-year-old tree.  The bullets whizzed past, and after spitting out two mouthfuls of mud-covered spit, he turned to a soldier and ordered: "You idiot, go back to me immediately and report to the regiment headquarters, saying that the American devils have infiltrated in, and the large army may follow.  Just arrive and ask the regiment leader to prepare to meet the enemy.  "The soldier named Er Lengzi quickly turned around, crouched and accepted the order. When the second lieutenant platoon leader saw this, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, hit me hard, cover your fire!  "After saying that, he raised the mirror box in his hand and fired repeatedly. Other soldiers, including machine gunners and riflemen, also fired desperately. The submachine gun and Chinese rifle in his hand fired a dense barrage of bullets, and the American soldiers on the opposite side fell down several times.  People, some branches were broken, and the forest was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke. A rocket soldier from the US military suddenly launched a rocket, hitting the thousand-year-old tree where the second lieutenant platoon leader was hiding. "Boom!"  "After a violent explosion, a large piece of the thousand-year-old tree was blown to pieces, and a ball of hot fire rose from the ground. "The second lieutenant platoon leader only felt that his ears were ringing, and he could no longer hear the dense sound of gunfire and gunfire.  There was an indirect explosion. He rubbed his ears and saw a squad leader next to him shouting to himself, but he could not hear any sound. However, the abnormality quickly returned to normal, and he could only hear the squad leader.  He shouted with concern: "Platoon leader, how are you?  Are you okay?  " "I'm fine, let the brothers hold it in, hold it in!"  "The second lieutenant platoon leader shook his head and said loudly. "Platoon leader, this group of American devils has too much firepower. Let's withdraw quickly. One-third of our brothers have died in the battle. If we continue to fight, we will all be responsible.  Here it is.  "The squad leader said in embarrassment. "Fart, damn it, don't embarrass me. Our Yunnan Army cannot afford to embarrass that man. We have already defeated him in battle. The superiors are planning to continue attacking the American devils. How can we turn around and fight?  Just collapse.  "Listen to me, reinforcements from the regiment will be here soon. If anyone dares to retreat without a fight, don't blame me for not recognizing people with guns."  "After the second lieutenant platoon leader finished speaking, he ran over, held a light machine gun in his hand, and began to fire on behalf of the dead machine gunner. The dense bullets immediately knocked down the US rocket soldier who was still loading, as well as the two auxiliary soldiers.  On the ground. The rocket launcher rolled to the side. Seeing the platoon leader's behavior, the other soldiers also became more morale, raised their weapons and fired desperately. The U.S. Army continued to approach with its firepower advantage. The Yunnan Army soldiers threw a row of grenades.  Then, led by the second lieutenant platoon leader, they rushed forward and started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the unprepared US troops. "Kill!"  "The second lieutenant platoon leader rushed to the front with a machete drawn from the back of the fallen soldier. An American black soldier holding a Garand semi-automatic rifle was hurriedly attaching a bayonet to his rifle, and was chopped down by him.  On the ground. “Kill, ah, charge!  "More than 20 surviving Yunnan soldiers took turns with large blades and bayonet-mounted rifles and strangled the U.S. Army together. "The American devils are typical of having more strength and less energy. They rely on powerful firepower to fight decently. Once  Being engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the tall and tall Chinese soldiers who were generally a head shorter than them and were thin and malnourished lost their temper. Many Americans were clumsy with their bayonets.??A Yunnan soldier holding a broadsword can defeat one person in two or three moves.  After a bloody battle, after more than half of the U.S. troops were killed or injured, they turned around and ran away in fear, with all kinds of automatic firearms scattered everywhere.  The second lieutenant platoon leader was already covered in blood. He had stabbed him with the most ferocity just now, cutting down five or six American soldiers in a row. The machete in his hand was now curled.  Seeing the American soldiers escaping, he was exhausted and struck the ground with his sword, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, rush up to me, kill these bastard American niggas, and avenge the dead brothers.  "Kill!" "Come on, avenge your brothers! Kill!" A dozen Yunnan soldiers who had gained morale after the bloody battle immediately chased after them.  But before they could chase them far, they were intercepted by a more powerful firepower.  More than a dozen Yunnan Army soldiers who pursued them to the death were shot and fell down.

    "Da da da" A dense sound of gunfire resounded throughout the mountain forest, and the American soldiers, who were being chased by more than a dozen Chinese soldiers like bereft dogs, finally stopped running.  When they looked back and saw that all the Chinese soldiers who were chasing them were hit by bullets and fell in a pool of blood, they all immediately fell down one by one as if they had lost half of their strength.  A US lieutenant colonel, accompanied by his adjutant, rushed over with the troops, helped one of the US soldiers up and asked: "What's going on? Why are you in such a mess?" The US soldier who was helped up was in shock and angry.  Panting, he said: "Those Chinese soldiers are all a bunch of lunatics. They are simply devils!" "Assholes, you have disgraced the Americans!" The lieutenant colonel slapped him angrily, and then waved his hand.  Said: "As soon as the gunfire rang out, the sneak attack fighter plane has been lost. Immediately attack and break through the defense line of the Japanese troops in the ancient temple!" As soon as his order was given, hundreds of heavily armed American soldiers rushed through the dense bushes.  Cong rushed forward.  Soon, they discovered the Chinese second lieutenant officer who was resting against a tree.  He had heard the gunfire just now, and he had also seen the scene of all his subordinates dying heroically for their country.  But this tough guy didn’t run away. Instead, he leaned against a big tree and recovered his strength.  Hundreds of American soldiers rushed over and surrounded him.  The leading US military lieutenant colonel and his adjutant came over curiously and said in blunt Chinese: "Chinese people, surrender and lead the way to us. We will give you the most basic treatment as a prisoner of war, that is, guarantee your safety."  Life is safe. "The second lieutenant officer is a typical Yunnan soldier. He may not even be able to understand Mandarin, so this two-handed Yankee speaks Chinese.  He only heard a general idea.  In this desperate situation, he can probably understand what the US official means.  With a self-deprecating smile, he held up the curled sword stained with the blood of American soldiers and sneered: "Fuck you, you bastard Yankees. Remember, the Chinese only died in battle."  Corpse. No living person will surrender to you!" The Americans couldn't understand his strong local accent, but they could still understand it from the excited expression and tone of the second lieutenant officer.  He waved his hand, and two American soldiers came up with bayonets in hand. They didn’t know whether they planned to capture him alive or directly stab him to death.  When the second lieutenant platoon leader saw this, he felt secretly happy and clenched the sword in his hand tightly.  When the two American soldiers approached, they suddenly shouted and stepped forward. With the sword in their hands, they chopped down one American soldier as fast as lightning, and then stabbed the other American soldier fiercely in the abdomen.  The American soldier’s face suddenly turned the color of pig liver in pain. The other American soldiers were shocked when they saw this and wanted to shoot.  Afraid of hurting his companions, he screamed in terror.  At this moment, the second lieutenant officer pulled the fuse of a grenade on the waist of the American soldier with one hand.  Then he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's worth bringing so many people to bury me with him!" Hearing the sound of smoke, the adjutant next to the US Lieutenant Colonel suddenly changed his color and rushed towards him.  "Boom!" At this moment, the American soldier's important grenade suddenly exploded. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Exploded them both until their flesh and blood flew everywhere.  The raging shrapnel wounded several other American soldiers.  There were wailings at the scene. Although the US military lieutenant colonel luckily escaped, the Chinese grassroots officer's determination to die and die together still made him instinctively fearful.  A young lieutenant officer is so tenacious, but what about the other Chinese soldiers?  “Thinking back to the fact that more than 100,000 troops of the United States of America were completely wiped out by them, all the heroic words of this US military lieutenant colonel before the expedition were thrown aside.  He even had doubts about whether the war could be won.  Half an hour later.  A battalion-level team of the Yunnan Army, led by a lieutenant colonel, defeated the American advance team, which had become timid before fighting.  And launched a pursuit against them, when the bodies of the fallen patrol platoon soldiers were found.  The battalion commander who led the team couldn't help but shed tears and ordered his subordinates to take back the bodies of all the fallen brothers.  The second lieutenant platoon leader, who was blown into limbs and arms, was also taken away.  The U.S. advance team failed in a surprise attack and failed to capture this important town on the Myanmar border.  ?Then the US military launched an air raid here.  However, the defenders had already been prepared, and the various fortifications built over the past half a year had become perfect, and at this moment they played their due role.  The seemingly alarming scale of bombing by the US military failed to cause them many substantial casualties.  &nbsp; Subsequently, the colonel commander of the garrison urgently reported the situation to the higher-level headquarters.  Two hours later, a large number of reinforcements arrived from the rear.  "Moreover, more than ten Zero fighter jets also flew in, which greatly inspired the confidence of the Yunnan Army officers and soldiers on the front line.  The U.S. military also arrived at this moment, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the heavily defended defense line.  For a time, the sound of artillery was rumbling on the border, beacon fire was raging in the sky, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.  ……………… “Commissioner, there is an urgent call from the direction of Myanmar. The U.S. military has finally appeared and has now launched an attack on the main defense lines of our expeditionary force on the Myanmar border. Du Yuming, Sun Liren, and Dai Anlan respectively led the troops to command operations in each region.  The war is in full swing." Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghanhui in the office of the Chairman of the Nanjing Military Commission.  "Well, tell Du Yuming and Sun Liren that on the Burmese battlefield, they should focus on defense at this time, deploy their troops in stages, resist step by step, and slow down the offensive edge and advancement speed of the US military. Especially for the air force, I have equipped them with  The Zero fighter is not an opponent of the new US military aircraft. It should be used flexibly to support ground troops in combat, contain the US military's offensive, and try to avoid direct confrontation with the US Air Force as much as possible to preserve our air power and transportation routes in Southeast Asia.  Ground artillery positions, camps, and major airports must strengthen air defense to prevent US air strikes," Zhang Xinghan quickly arranged.  "Yes, I'll go right away." Jiang Baili nodded and turned to leave.  , "Wait a minute, what's the situation in the Taiwan Strait?" Zhang Xinghan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.  "There is no latest news yet, but according to the call from General Xue Yue an hour ago, this meeting should have almost come to an end." Jiang Baili said: "I will send another message to General Xue Yue by the way to inquire." After that, Jiang Baili said  Seeing Zhang Xinghan nodding, he turned and left.  Walking to the communications room in three steps and two steps, he happened to meet a communications soldier holding a message and was about to leave. He immediately stopped him and asked: "Where is the call?" When the communications soldier looked up and saw Jiang Baili, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Jiang  Sir, it's an urgent message from the Taiwan Border Guard Headquarters. "Oh? Give it to me quickly. I'll take it and report it to the commissioner!" Jiang Baili immediately reached for the message, read it without caring, and turned around.  Zhang Xinghan was lighting a cigarette when a rush of footsteps caught his attention. He looked up and saw Jiang Baili walking in in a hurry with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't bother to light it, so he asked: "Brother Baili, what?"  What's the situation?" Jiang Baili raised the message in his hand and said as he walked: "General Xue Yue has an urgent message." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinghan quickly stepped forward, took the message, opened it and read it hastily.  Jiang Baili observed from the side that Zhang Xinghan's face remained unchanged, and asked cautiously: "How is the appointment, and what is the result of the battle?" After a long time, Zhang Xinghan handed the message to Baili, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Our army has won!  " Jiang Baili took the message and read it again. The joy of victory suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his mood became extremely heavy.  Zhang Xinghan said with tears in his eyes: "Our army won, but the price was too high. All the surface ships of the Navy's First and Second Fleets were sunk, and all the navy officers died in battle with the battleships. Even Huo Qubing  The battleship No. 1 was also sunk. Thousands of naval officers were unwilling to abandon the ship and were willing to die together at the bottom of the sea. "Jiang Baili was also very sad but tragically said: "They are the soul of our Chinese army.  Tragic, but it proves that the spirit of our Chinese soldiers has awakened, and the long-lost blood of our Han people has returned to our blood. This battle proves that our Chinese nation is invincible. Even if we die together, even if the entire army dies in battle,  We will never take a step back. We lost two fleets, but we almost annihilated the U.S. Western Pacific Fleet in less than a day, shooting down nearly a thousand aircraft, more than 400 submarines, and 4 warships.  We won! From now on, the world’s largest navy is no longer the British Empire, nor the rising star of the United States Navy, but the invincible fleet of our Chinese nation. Although it is small, it is invincible.” “Order!  All air force bombers of the border guards stationed in Taiwan immediately took off and bombed all US military bases and ports on the Philippine Islands. At the same time, Xxi submarines launched a full-scale attack to block the Strait of Malacca and sweep away all lone enemy ships in the Western Pacific that did not fly our blue sky and white sun flag.  , no matter how big or small, all will be sunk.nbsp;A group of Air Force fighter jets patrolled and cooperated in the air.  "    "yes.  "Jiang Baili wiped away his tears, responded solemnly, and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, another communications soldier hurriedly ran in. He saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili at the same time: "Commissioner, Mr. Jiang, stationed in Japan  The Dispatch Force Headquarters received an urgent message that the US First Fleet was approaching the waters of Hokkaido, Japan an hour ago. In view of the fact that the enemy fleet has entered the range of our shore-based aviation.  The headquarters of the dispatched troops stationed in Japan unanimously decided to launch an attack on the US military.  After more than an hour of bloody fighting, more than 20 U.S. military aircraft were shot down, ten submarines were sunk, and two warships were sunk.  The fierce battle is still ongoing!  " Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili looked at each other, and immediately ordered the communications troops: "Send power to the Taiwan Border Defense Force Headquarters, and immediately dispatch fifty submarines and one hundred jet fighters to the Japanese battlefield.  "

    The vast expanse of the South Pacific sea was blowing by the wind. Apart from the floating objects on the sea, there was no sign that this place had just experienced a world-famous battle.  On the rough sea, a submarine is sailing against the wind and waves. It is being ordered to search and rescue our own soldiers who may have fallen into the water and survived.  At the same time, it is responsible for searching and suppressing surviving enemy personnel and ships.  …………… Washington, United States, White House, Office of the President.  The secretary-general stumbled in, without the usual etiquette, and said hastily: "Dear President Roosevelt, General Nimitz is sending an urgent message." Roosevelt, who had been anxiously waiting for the results of the battle with Marshall, saw his secretary-general behave like this, and his heart was filled with excitement.  Feeling an ominous premonition, he immediately stood up and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" Marshall also stood up, but he was obviously not as good as Rosforso because of his old age.  The secretary-general Ru Sangkao said: "In the decisive battle between the Allied Combined Fleet and the Chinese fleet in the Taiwan Strait, although they annihilated the Chinese surface fleet, they lost air superiority because of the total loss of the air force and submarine force. In the end, they lost.  In this crucial decisive battle, less than one-tenth of the hundreds of ships in the British and American combined naval fleets escaped, and nearly a thousand fighter planes of all types were destroyed, including our latest P-S.  51 Mustang fighter. "The former enemy commander, General MacArthur, sank with his flagship aircraft carrier and died in battle." This passage was definitely a bolt from the blue for Roosevelt and Marshall, who had just stood up.  Both of them were stunned as if struck by lightning.  "Isn't it said that our new fighter planes are enough to sweep away the Chinese Air Force's Zero fighters?" Roosevelt said after being in a daze for a long time.  "It is said that the Chinese Air Force is equipped with another fighter jet that we have never seen before. The Mustang fighter jet is not their opponent at all. Because most of the pilots participating in the war were sacrificed or missing, the specific situation of this fighter jet is unknown to us for the time being.  "The secretary-general said.  Marshall had already sat back again, and said with a flushed face: "Mr. President, the top priority is to immediately send electricity to the First Fleet and suspend the attack on the Japanese Islands. To avoid being besieged by the overwhelming superiority of the Navy and Air Force, we must  Maintain this last naval force. Otherwise, the whole of Asia and even our homeland may be attacked by the Chinese navy and air force. "In May of the 27th year of the Republic of China, the main force of the British and American combined fleets fought in the Taiwan Strait.  The Chinese navy and air force suffered a tragic defeat in the decisive battle and the entire army was wiped out.  Roosevelt was forced to order the main force of the Navy's First Fleet, which had already been at war with China's dispatched troops to Japan, to stop the attack and retreat immediately.  Zhang Xinghan saw the opportunity and could not miss it.  Immediately, Feidian instructed the dispatched troops in Japan to take the opportunity to launch a pursuit.  On the same day, the Chinese Air Force stationed on the main island of Taiwan began to launch air strikes on the US military bases on the Philippine Peninsula.  The Americans, who had lost air supremacy, were unable to fight back. Military bases and ports were successively destroyed and paralyzed.  The balance of victory in the entire Western Pacific Theater has been tilted towards the Chinese People's Liberation Army. For the first time, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has seized the unprecedented initiative in the war.  Due to the defeat in the decisive battle in the Western Pacific, the counterattack plan of the ground forces of the British, American and French coalition forces against Myanmar was also forced to suspend. After the attack was stopped.  The British, American and French forces began to shrink their forces and garrison key areas.  Prepare to hold on to the Indochina colony.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan was also urgently recruiting naval cadets who had not graduated from various military schools in the country to prepare to rebuild the almost-lost First and Second Naval Fleets.  At the same time, the Navy’s Third Fleet, which was cooperating with the dispatched troops in Japan, was ordered to hand over the task of pursuing the U.S. First Fleet to the underwater submarine force and air force, and immediately turned around and sailed toward the Taiwan Strait.  Zhang Xinghan has decided to take advantage of the heavy damage to the main force of the Allied Naval Combined Fleet to launch attacks on the Philippine Islands, Malay Peninsula, Indonesian Islands, and other Southeast Asian Islands.     because.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only by sweeping across the Southeast Asian archipelago can the government's next strategic actions be beneficial.  ??For example, blocking the Strait of Malacca, cutting off the influence of the old colonial empires such as Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands on Asia, and attacking Australia, a continent with a very strategic location, southwards.  And the most important and urgent need at the moment is to attack the Indian colonies and eliminate the last base of the British, American and French forces on the Asian continent.  So as to achieve a comprehensive strategic plan to attack the Middle East and seize strategic resources in Africa.  Therefore, it is imperative to capture the Southeast Asian Islands. ?At the same time, in the endless desert Gobi Desert in Central Asia.  Millions of elite Chinese Expeditionary Forces launched an assault on the Soviet border defenses with lightning speed.  As Zhang Xinghan predicted, due to Kazakhstan’s natural geographical environment, the Soviet border defense line was almost undefendable.  Facing a huge ground assault group composed of thousands of Chinese tanks and armored fighting vehicles and a powerful attack group composed of hundreds of fighter planes in the air.  The long border defense line composed of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops was easily broken through by Gao Chu and Du Ting.  Immediately, the two men each led hundreds of thousands of troops, and the troops were divided into two groups.  They began to drive straight in and quickly attacked the important industrial cities in the hinterland of Kazakhstan.  In Nanjing City, Jiang Baili was making an overall report to Zhang Xinghan.  "Commissioner, the Navy's Third Fleet is already on its way to Taiwan. It will arrive in two days at the latest. Xue Yue said that the 600,000 border guards stationed in Taiwan are all ready for battle. Currently, the U.S. and British troops are in Southeast Asia.  The important military bases and ports on the archipelago have been basically paralyzed by the continuous air strikes of our air force. More than two hundred submarines have been ordered to separate and blockade the Southeast Asian archipelago. Everything is waiting for the arrival of my landing troops.  In the direction of Indochina, the Southwest Expeditionary Force is also ready to attack. It will only wait for our Northwest Expeditionary Force to attack the rear of India. "How is the progress on Gao Chu and Du Ting's side?" Zhang Xinghan?  asked.  "Gao and Du just called not long ago. They have broken through the Soviet border defense line, and their leading troops are advancing towards the Soviet Union's hinterland in Kazakhstan. If this progress continues, they will be able to end up in China within a month at the latest.  In the battle of Asia, we will attack India with the Southwest Expeditionary Force." Jiang Baili quickly replied.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, looked at the map and pondered for a while: "It's time to send in the airborne troops. Order Wang Longxiang and the three airborne divisions to immediately dispatch all three airborne divisions to first carry out airborne landings on the Philippine Islands, seize the enemy's air base, and cut off the bridges."  roads to prevent the Allied forces on the island from retreating! " PS: This is the only update for today, and four more updates will be made tomorrow.  Everyone should have seen that this book has officially entered the final stage. I will work hard to write the subsequent landing operations and attacks on India, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.  "This kind of large-scale foreign operations requires too much information. If there are any incomplete details, I hope you, brothers and sisters, will forgive me."

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 607: Sweeping the Southeast Islands (2)

    Northern Luzon Island in the Philippine Islands.  Fifty kilometers away from the US Navy base, countless umbrella flowers are slowly falling in the sky.  They are more than 2,000 elite paratroopers from the First Regiment of the First Airborne Division of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army.  With the cover and cooperation of our own air force fighter group and bomber group, they carried out the first jump of Chinese airborne troops on the Southeast Asian archipelago in this safe airspace.  Wang Dafei, as the commander of the first division and the commander of the first regiment, personally led the team to parachute and land.  After more than ten minutes of floating at high altitude, he was finally the first to land. As soon as he landed, he quickly took out a sharp saber and dagger to cut off the parachute rope behind him.  After taking off his parachute bag and other equipment, he looked at the surrounding environment with the MP38 submachine gun hanging on his body, identified the direction, and quickly ran to one side.  More than ten minutes later, most of the paratroopers had landed, and Wang Dafei sent out a white signal flare.  The surrounding paratroopers quickly gathered around him.  More than twenty minutes later, a large number of paratroopers had gathered around Wang Dafei.  A lieutenant colonel officer stood up to Wang Dafei and saluted: "Master, the whole regiment has 2,209 people. 2,100 people have been assembled. There are another 109 people who can't because the landing site is far away."  "Yes, we have enough people. According to the original plan, we will immediately blockade and cut off the connections between the north and the south of Luzon Island," Wang Dafei immediately ordered.  Said: "Each battalion, execute the order immediately!" "Yes!" The lieutenant colonel officer and several other officers stepped forward to respond, and immediately led their troops to leave separately.  ……………… Moscow, Kremlin.  Sitting in the office, SDL could already vaguely hear the sound of intensive gunfire and explosions coming from outside.  At this moment, the Soviet giant is no longer as cold as before, but there is a sense of desolation and despair that fills his wrinkled face.  "Dear leader, the defense line can last for three more days at most. Please leave as soon as possible. We will defend you to the death to break through the encirclement!" Belial cautiously persuaded.  Stalin was already disheartened at this moment.  He paid no attention to the persuasion of his loyal subordinates.  "If Central Asia had not been counterattacked by the Chinese army and the Far East Military District still had strength, Moscow would not have been lost.  Even if Moscow cannot hold on, Stalin will agree to withdraw to the hinterland of Central Asia and rely on the support of Europe and the United States to continue fighting the Germans and Chinese.  However, when the main force of the Far East Military Region was completely annihilated, China’s million-strong elite army of the expeditionary force was unstoppable in Kazakhstan, and the siege of cities and territories began.  He knew that he and the Soviet army led by him had reached the end.  So, he waved his hand to signal Beryl to go out.  Soon after, he drew his gun and committed suicide.  …………… Because of Stalin’s suicide, the Soviet defense line collapsed instantly, and the German army immediately took advantage of the situation and captured the most important strategic towns of the Soviet army, such as Moscow and Leningrad.  At the same time, Guderian's ground armored forces also advanced towards the Volga River Basin as quickly as possible.  When the Soviet troops in Central Asia learned that Moscow and other places had been lost, they gave up their resistance and surrendered to the overwhelming Chinese Expeditionary Force.  A month later, the expeditionary force led by Gao Chu and Du Ting captured the entire Central Asia region, expanding millions of square kilometers of territory for the Chinese nation.  Of course, this is a later story. At the same time that the German army was sweeping across the hinterland of the Soviet Union, the Chinese Northwest Expeditionary Force was sweeping across Central Asia.  The fighting on the Southeast Asian archipelago finally broke out in full force.  With the help of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Navy and the majority of fishermen in the Taiwan Strait, the first batch of 100,000 landing troops of the Chinese Border Guard Force stationed in Taiwan began a large-scale landing operation on Luzon Island in the Philippine Islands.  The Allies are now in the Philippine Islands.  In particular, the situation on Luzon Island has reached a critical point.  The continuous air strikes of the Chinese Air Force and the infiltration and destruction of the airborne troops have caused the British and American coalition strongholds on the island to fall into serious difficulties.  Communication was cut off and transportation was repeatedly disrupted.  Logistics supplies cannot be delivered.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  The result is conceivable.  Just less than twenty-four hours.  The Chinese landing force successfully landed on the island, and with lightning speed, the troops rushed into the rear of the US military base.  The U.S. military’s line of defenseDuring the attack, the bodies of dead British and American troops could be seen everywhere on the beach.  Some machine gun fire bunkers that were crossed by Chinese landing troops also flew white flags.  Countless Chinese soldiers chanted slogans.  Launched an overwhelming offensive against the US military.  The elite paratroopers of the airborne troops who had long penetrated into the rear of the US military also took the opportunity to attack, dealing a fatal blow to the crumbling US defense line.  After two days of fighting, 100,000 landing troops completely captured the entire Luzon Island and eliminated more than 30,000 US military resistance troops.  Then, under the cover of the airborne troops, the troops surrounded Manila, the important town in the Philippines.  On the battlefield in Manila, countless Chinese soldiers on the ground launched waves of wars under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.  There are constant Chinese fighter planes and dive bombers in the sky, conducting ultra-low-altitude dive and strafing bombings.  The entire battlefield was boiling and the flames of war continued, like a tragic scene in Shura Hell.  Since most of the main forces were lost in the defensive battle on Luzon Island, the Allied defense forces in Manila are very weak at this moment.  Under the overwhelming offensive of the Chinese ***, the defenders only held out for five hours before they were forced to surrender because the defensive position outside the city was breached by the Chinese ***.  After capturing Manila, the Allied forces on the Philippine Islands were no longer able to organize large-scale resistance.  The Chinese landing troops swept across other islands in the Philippines with the thunderous force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.  Three days later, the entire Philippines was successfully captured.  At the same time, the Navy's Third Fleet has transported the second batch of landing troops to the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, and then began a landing offensive on the Malay Peninsula.  The landing force that captured the Philippine Islands also launched an attack on Brunei and other places from the Philippine Strait on captured US military transport ships.  In view of the heavy price paid for resistance in the Philippine Islands, the US military felt that resistance was meaningless.  They took the initiative to retreat. However, the transport fleet on which the US military retreating troops were retreating to Australia was hunted by Chinese submarine forces.     lost heavily.  PS: The final stage is very difficult to write, and I have to conceive a new book, and my mind is very messy, so there are no four updates today to compensate. I will try my best to update one to two chapters a day, and finish the rest of the plot smoothly.  Put more energy into the new book, and when the time comes, you will have a good explosion in the new book to make up for everyone.  Please understand that I gave up most of my hard work for more than half a month just to finish the new book.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 608: Sweeping the Southeast Islands (3)

    On the border with Malaysia in the northern part of the Indonesian archipelago, tens of thousands of Chinese landing troops in Malaysia have just been captured effortlessly and are advancing towards Indonesia.  Hundreds of tanks, armored combat vehicles, and military trucks loaded with Chinese soldiers rumbled along. Wherever they passed, dust and smoke billowed and the sky was blocked.  At this time, due to the blockade of the Chinese submarine force, the British and American coalition forces retreating from the eastern peninsula of Malaysia and Indonesia paid a heavy price in casualties.  They were forced to withdraw to Central Kaliman and Balipapan and other places in Indonesia, preparing to wait for help.  After a day and night of rapid march, the Chinese landing force swept across the eastern peninsula of Malaysia with overwhelming momentum.  Entering the West Kaliman and East Kaliman regions of Indonesia, they engaged in fierce battles with local indigenous troops commanded by some sporadic British and American coalition forces.  After defeating them easily, they quickly advanced towards Zhongliman and Balibapan.  At the same time, another landing force also landed on the Western Peninsula of Malaysia.  Within two days, they successively captured Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Kuantan and other places.  After an exchange of fire broke out between the east-route attack force and the British and American coalition forces waiting for reinforcements in the Bali Papan area, they also took advantage of the situation to attack the city of Singapore.  The Chinese Southwest Expeditionary Force, which set out from southern Siam, invaded Malaysia through Chumphon and Phang Nga provinces in the northern part of the West Malay Peninsula, and successfully met with the landing force of the Taiwan Border Guard in the Ipoh area.  ?Then the troops split into two groups and headed south to Singapore.  Along the way, they crossed the Strait of Malacca and attacked Sumatra.  At this time, the Chinese Navy's submarine force has blocked and controlled the most important choke point between the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.     so.  Crossing the Strait of Malacca and attacking Sumatra was extremely smooth.  The British and American coalition forces stationed in the central and southern peninsula of Indonesia are still struggling, but they have been cut off from any logistical supplies and support.  Faced with the siege of various Chinese landing forces that were continuously marching into the Southeast Asian archipelago, the British and American coalition forces persisted for half a month. After running out of ammunition and food, they chose to surrender to the Chinese army.  After nearly a month of the battle of the Southeast Asian Islands, it ended with the comprehensive victory of the Chinese ** team.  In fact, from the moment the British and American combined fleets were wiped out in the decisive naval and air battle in the Western Pacific, the outcome of the Southeast Asian archipelago was already doomed.  There is no more navy and air force.  Having lost control of the sea and air, the British and American troops trapped on the large and small islands in Southeast Asia can only end up with two fates. Once they resist to the end, they will be completely annihilated.  Second, choose to surrender and be a prisoner.  “Obviously the Americans and British are not Japanese with the Bushido spirit, and there is no hope of victory.  With no hope of reinforcements, it is not surprising that they chose to surrender.  During the period of conquering the Southeast Asian Islands, the Southwest Expeditionary Force, with the assistance of the Northeast and Northwest Expeditionary Forces, suddenly invaded the Indian colonies.  The main forces of the British and American coalition forces, which were attacked from both sides, were defeated by the Chinese troops one after another, especially the northwest and northeastern border guards who suddenly came over from Kazakhstan.  Their equipment level is far better than that of the Southwest Border Guards attacking from Myanmar, and their combat effectiveness is self-evident.  Therefore, the speed of their advance was unexpected by the British and American coalition forces.  When they deployed their main defense forces on the India-Myanmar border, a mechanized attack group of more than 200,000 people led by Gao Chu easily broke through the weak defenses in their rear.  In the critical situation at the rear, the main force of the British and American armies, which was engaged in a fierce battle with China's Southwest Border Guards on the front line, was forced to retreat.  Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Dai Anlan and others took advantage of the situation to command the troops to pursue. With the cooperation of the air force, the British and American coalition forces were defeated.  A collapse of thousands of miles.  On the eve of the end of the Southeast Asian Archipelago Campaign, China's two major armies have joined forces in the area of ??New Delhi to regain the Indian colonies.  Most of the main army forces of the British and American coalition forces were annihilated.  A few fled to southern port cities such as Mumbai, because the main force of the Chinese navy was cooperating in the Southeast Asian archipelago at that time.  So more than 100,000 British and American coalition army troops escaped by boat from southern port cities such as Bombay.  However, the British and American coalition forces also lost their last colony in Asia.  Less than 20,000 remnant troops of the British and American coalition forces in the Southeast Asian Islands have withdrawn to Australia.  So far, the area actually controlled by Chinese troops has reached nearly 20 million square kilometers.  It reaches the Banda Sea of ??Indonesia in the south, Sakhalin Island in the Bering Strait in the north, and the Japanese Archipelago in the east.  It extends to all of Siberia in the west and to the fringes of the Middle East in the southwest.  As for the Middle East, by?The British and American naval fleets suffered huge losses in the Pacific, and domestic production has not been able to replenish them, so the British colonial power in this region appears extremely weak.  While the main force of the British and American coalition forces was retreating from Bombay, the motley crew of British colonies in the Middle East had already taken the initiative to retreat westward.  When Zhang Xinghan instructed Gao Chu, Du Ting, Du Yuming and others to take the opportunity to march westward and join the German army in the Middle East.  The two German armored groups that had just won the war against the Soviet Union have marched south from the coasts of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.  The German army’s advance was as fast as lightning, sweeping through Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan and other Persian Gulf regions in less than a week.  The military front is directed at Iran, Iraq and other places.  Zhang Xinghan learned that the world's largest oil-producing area was about to fall into the hands of the Germans, and quickly ordered the border guards who were resting in the Indian colonies (at this time, the Indian colonies included Pakistan) and the Kazakh border guards to move westward immediately.  At the same time, the southeastern border defense forces on the Southeast Asian archipelago were ordered to immediately enter the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca with the cooperation of the Navy's Third Fleet, and advance to the Arabian Sea at full speed.  Iraq and Iran can fall into the hands of the German army, but Zhang Xinghan of Saudi Arabia is absolutely determined to be in his own hands for the Chinese nation.  ??Moreover, as long as you control Saudi Arabia, you control the entire Persian Gulf region.  It also controls the most critical strategic channel between the Asian and African continents, laying the foundation for future marches into Africa to seize resources.  But Zhang Xinghan was completely overly worried. After Hitler conquered the Soviet Union, his self-confidence and arrogance had expanded to the extreme.  In addition, he did not know that the Persian Gulf region in the Middle East was the world's largest oil-producing area, so after the German army captured Turkey and other places, it was also out of respect for its ally China.  He actually took the initiative to order the German army to stop attacking, and instead used the main force of the German army in the Soviet Union to attack Western Europe and other countries.  The German army won the Soviet-German battle. If Hitler wanted to achieve his first step in world domination, occupying the entire Europe would be his inevitable choice.

 Volume One: The September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 609: The Great Immigration Plan

    Nanjing, meeting room of the Military Commission Operations Hall.  Zhang Xinghan convened a meeting with the commanders of the major front armies, group armies, expeditionary forces, border defense forces, and garrison troops.  At this time, more than two months have passed since the Chinese Expeditionary Force captured the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.  In the past two months or so, the world situation has suddenly undergone great changes.  On the European battlefield, the German army led by Hitler suddenly launched an undeclared war on Western Europe and other countries, destroying countless countries in just one month.  Including France, which is known as an army power, fell to the German blitzkrieg attack. In less than a week, hundreds of French troops were annihilated by the German army at its peak. Just like in history, when the German army captured Paris, it announced that it was actually  After sex destroyed France.  Frenchman Charles de Gaulle fled to the British Isles. With the support of the British and Americans, he established the so-called republican government in the United Kingdom, which was a government-in-exile for France.  Due to the raging German offensive in Europe, Western countries, led by Britain and the United States, including Mexico, Canada, Australia and other countries, have declared war on Germany, which has de facto dominated Europe.  The Second World War broke out. Although it was only 1938, it was still several years away from the outbreak of any other World War in history.  But the overall strength of the Germans is no less than that of Germany in 1941 in the original history.  “Moreover, they also defeated the Soviet Union, which relieved one of their biggest worries. At the same time, they occupied the Soviet Union’s vast territory and abundant oil and other scarce strategic resources.  "The British and the United States have suffered a great loss in naval strength due to their recent disastrous defeats in Asia, that is, on the Pacific battlefield.  The famous Dunkirk evacuation in history failed to be staged successfully.  Hundreds of thousands of British active troops were divided, surrounded and annihilated by the German army.  As a result, the British army's strength also suffered a heavy blow, and in a short period of time it was no longer able to restrain Germany's dominance on the European continent.  The Americans are also urgently expanding their armaments.  Accumulate strength to prevent the Chinese from taking advantage of the attack and plan for future counterattacks.  Therefore, in response to the corruption of the European war situation, apart from verbally declaring war on Germany, Britain and the United States had no other substantive actions.  However, the inability of Britain and the United States to fight back does not mean that their strength has reached its peak, and Hitler, who is full of ambitions, will give up.  ??After the fall of France.  Immediately began to prepare a combat plan to attack the British Isles. At the same time, the German underwater wolf troops came out in full force and carried out all possible unrestricted attacks on British and American ships around the British Isles.  It caused immeasurable losses to the British.  "Everyone, we are gathered here today. In addition to discussing the future destiny of our Chinese nation, the first thing to discuss is whether to agree to Hitler's request. Send our navy, submarines and air force to Europe to participate in the war.  , to assist the German army in attacking the British Isles. "Before I call you here, Hitler has sent me a message asking for help. Please read it." Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting in the first place, handed a pile of prepared documents to Guo Zhong behind him.  He distributed it to everyone present.  After everyone had looked at it, Zhang Xinghan looked around.  Asked: "How is it? What do you think about this?" "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Chairman." The war has reached this point. The Chinese army has occupied nearly 20 million square kilometers of land. Zhang Xinghan's  Personal reputation and ability have completely convinced everyone.  They understand that no matter what their suggestions are, all the decision-making power lies in Zhang Xinghan's hands.  His decision is the most correct and the one that best suits the interests of the Chinese nation.     so.  They all said this in unison.  Zhang Xinghan was not polite, nodded and said: "To be honest with you, I have already made a decision to assist the German army in attacking the British Isles. The air force and navy cannot be dispatched, but in order to express the friendly allied relations between the two sides, we will dispatch one.  Hundreds of submarines participated in the European War and attacked British and American ships to provide them with the assistance they could. There are two major things we urgently need to do. The first is to capture Hawaii, Guam, Australia, New Zealand and other entire Oceania. The first two are the Pacific.  There are important naval and air force bases in the country, and the latter two are a complete continent with various rich resources and millions of square kilometers of land, suitable for at least 100 million people to live and live in. The second major thing is also our Chinese nation.  The top priority now is to conduct large-scale immigration operations in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Far Eastern Siberia, and the upcoming Oceania, mainly the Southeast Asian islands and oceans.??, these two areas must be regarded as important immigration areas for immigrants from our country.  Within seven years, we must complete the unprecedented task of immigrating 100 million people to the above-mentioned areas within seven years.  Only in this way can these occupied areas truly become the habitat of our Chinese nation and our inherent territory.  Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the immigration operation, we will subsequently introduce a series of safeguard measures and incentive policies.  In the next three years, we must focus on infrastructure construction in the Southeast Asian archipelago, Indochina, and Oceania. At the very least, our immigrant compatriots will not be left without a house to live in or food to eat.  As for their standard of living, they are guarding endless wealth. In a few decades at most, they will become the richest people in the world.  ” Zhang Xinghan announced the decision, and everything was implemented step by step by the Executive Yuan and other agencies at all levels. Unprecedented large-scale immigration activities, as well as military operations to attack Guam, the Hawaiian Islands, and Oceania were all launched at the same time. Zhang Xinghan took action at the same time.  After developing his own multi-function watch, he gained unprecedentedly rich enemy kills after battles in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific. However, Zhang Xinghan did not rush to form an aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Navy and replenished the navy's damaged combat power.  . Instead, he directly chose to unlock the ultimate weapon nuclear bomb, and at the same time unlock missiles and strategic bombers that can carry nuclear warheads. Although there are only two nuclear bombs, Zhang Xinghan understands that their emergence will definitely change the world. Moreover, the launch of these two nuclear bombs.  After going out, it will definitely bring you rich rewards for killing enemies. Coupled with the accumulation of conquering Guam, Hawaii, Australia, and participating in Europe, the Americans have already realized that they can form several aircraft carrier battle groups for the Chinese Navy.  When the situation became serious, they tried their best to support the last powerful ally, Britain, in its homeland defense war. Therefore, even with the assistance of the Chinese submarine force, the Germans failed to capture the British Isles in time as they wished.  The United Kingdom and the United States have been engaged in a quagmire-like protracted war of attrition. There are aircraft, warships, and submarines from both sides in the English Channel at all times, and they are engaged in bloody battles. The war potential of the Americans is terrifying.  When mobilized to help the British resist, even if the Germans now dominate Europe and have gained abundant strategic and population resources, they cannot successfully end this war as soon as possible.  It is no longer a simple military contest, but has become an all-out confrontation between two superpowers or two camps. The battle is for oil, rubber, food, and even soldiers. Therefore, this war continues intermittently.  During these three years, Zhang Xinghan was not in a hurry to use nuclear weapons to break the balance of this optimal strategic situation. Instead, he went all out to mobilize all forces to prepare for the next big immigration operation.  It was built on the mountains of blood of Indonesian indigenous people, Southeast Asian monkeys and other savage indigenous peoples. More than 10 million indigenous people from all over the country were recruited by the Chinese occupying forces and participated in various activities in Indochina, Southeast Asian Islands, Australia and even the Middle East.  Infrastructure projects include building bridges and paving roads, building houses, reclaiming wasteland, pastures, orchards, etc., and of course also include various required military facilities and transportation, such as various permanent defenses, military airports, railways, roads, etc.  etc. In three years, after paying the lives of millions of indigenous people and the blood and sweat of tens of millions of people, the infrastructure and preparations for the immigration of 10 million Chinese people were basically completed. And, with these.  After completing the immigration of these 10 million people, future immigration plans and infrastructure construction will become much smoother and faster.  At this time, China’s population has exceeded 450 million, and the immigration of 10 million people is simply a drop in the bucket.  The Northeast region became the first batch of immigration areas. With the help of the army, more than five million Northeasterners took warships, planes, trains and other means of transportation to go to the immigration areas designated by the government.  However, what Zhang Xinghan did not expect was that just one year later, there would be a large wave of immigrants in the five southwestern provinces and nine southeastern provinces.  The reason is that they learned what kind of good life the first batch of immigrants lived in Nanyang and other places.  There are ready-made houses, countless fertile fields, orchards, farms and fisheries, and free local labor is available. You don’t have to work, you can have a bumper harvest while sleeping at home. These are simply magical days. ?Therefore, in one year, more than 20 million people, mainly poor people, immigrated to various parts of the Indochina Peninsula in various ways.  A small number of them arrived in Nanyang (Southeast Asian Islands).  In order to prevent blind immigration from causing large-scale hunger, disease and other tragedies, Zhang Xinghan ordered the border defense forces in various places to immediately strengthen their vigilance and suspended the domestic and overseas immigration policy.  There are still three years left before the goal he has set. Zhang Xinghan is not in a hurry about immigration. As long as he continues at this pace, the number of immigrants will definitely double in three years.  At the moment, there is one thing that Zhang Xinghan is more concerned about that needs to be resolved, and that is the English Channel Battle that has consumed four years.  In four years, Britain, the United States, France and Germany all paid a huge price, including supplies and soldiers.  It’s time to bring this war to an end.

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 610: Marching into Europe

    In the past four years, Zhang Xinghan benefited from the assistance of outstanding figures in the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang in political affairs, and established a sound foundation for immigration.  In terms of military affairs, the Chinese Army has also achieved great development results.  The first is the navy. After these four years of precious development opportunities, the Chinese Navy has not only reorganized the two fleets it lost previously.  A new fleet has also been added. So far, the Chinese Navy has the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fleets. Each fleet has developed to have two aircraft carrier battle groups, hundreds of jet carrier-based aircraft and hundreds of ships.  There are nearly three hundred battleships, destroyers, cruisers and other large and small ships.  In addition, the size of the original submarine force has been fully doubled, with more than 2,000 submarines.  In order to form an aircraft carrier battle group and allow each major fleet to develop complete offensive and defensive combat capabilities, Zhang Xinghan divided the submarine force, which was originally independent of each fleet and under the dual leadership of the Naval Command and the Military Commission, into the operations of the four major fleets.  sequence.  Therefore, the four major fleets of the Chinese Navy are each equipped with a huge underwater force of more than 500 submarines.  The current combat missions and areas of responsibility of the four major fleets of the Chinese Navy are as follows.  Due to the defeat of the British and American coalition forces in the Pacific four years ago, the Chinese navy captured all overseas military bases of the British and American coalition forces in the east and west Pacific from the Strait of Malacca to the Hawaiian Islands.  The Bering Strait in the north also fell into the sphere of influence of the Chinese navy and air force with the recovery of Sakhalin Island, and has now become China’s northernmost inland sea.  As a result, the South China Sea, Sea of ??Japan, East China Sea, and Yellow Sea have all become inland seas of the Chinese Navy.  Therefore, the 1st Fleet of the Chinese Navy, originally stationed in the Taiwan Strait, is now stationed in Australia, and jointly controls the Indian Ocean with the 2nd Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf.  The bases of the 2nd Naval Fleet are located in Mumbai, India, the island of Sri Lanka in the south, and the island of Madagascar in southeastern Africa and the western Indian Ocean.  The 3rd Naval Fleet moved eastward from its original base on the Japanese Islands to the Hawaiian Islands, more than 6,000 nautical miles away.  Jiuzhan Magpie Nest is based on the military facilities of the US military in the Hawaiian Islands, forming China's outermost defense chain in the Northeast Pacific.     at the same time.  More than 100,000 land troops are stationed in the Hawaiian Islands along with the Navy's 3rd Fleet to assume the task of land defense on the islands.  This 100,000-strong army is independently allocated for island defense warfare with more than 200 large and small ships and warships, thousands of large and small artillery pieces, and 200 land-based jet fighters.  ??The 4th Fleet, which was just established two years ago, is regarded as a naval maneuver force.  Stationed in Taiwan, China, and the Japanese-occupied islands.     besides.  An independent naval mixed fleet is also stationed in the Bering Strait in the north. It does not have an aircraft carrier battle group and is mainly composed of battleships such as the new Huo Qubing.  form a maritime force.  Its main role is to maintain the territorial waters and airspace security of the Chinese nation in the Bering Strait and Sea of ??Okhotsk.  The second is to cooperate with the 3rd Fleet to enter the North Pacific and launch an attack on the west coast of the United States when necessary.  As for the Air Force, in order to form aircraft carrier battle groups for major fleets and for future operations, sea-based aviation units will be the protagonist.  Therefore, Zhang Xinghan focused his attention on the navy. Compared with the navy, the expansion of the air force was not large.  Only one thousand land-based combat aircraft were added to the original basis.  They are used to station in Sakhalin Island, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Persian Gulf in the Middle East and other areas, and are used for the air force presence of ground forces in the above areas.  The rest of the fighters are deployed at land-based airports in mainland China and the newly occupied Indochina Peninsula and Southeast Asian Islands.  Therefore, the total number of land-based fighters of the Chinese Air Force is about 4,000. It is worth mentioning that there are nearly 2,000 He262 jet fighters.  In addition, there are more than 1,000 helicopters, 2,000 transport aircraft and more than 2,000 heavy and medium bombers. ?????? plus sea-based aviation.  At this time, the total number of aircraft (including fighter jets, transport aircraft, bombers, and helicopters) in China has exceeded 10,000.  As for the Army, the number of tanks and armored vehicles has also increased to more than 8,000.  Among them, Zhang Xinghan produced a batch of Leopard tanks that were more advanced than the No. 4 tank, numbering about 2,000.  In terms of individual weapons, after four years of all-out efforts, the Southwest Border Guard Army (mainly the Central Army, Guangxi Clan, Sichuan Army, and Yunnan Army) with backward equipment has basically replaced it with more advanced semi-automatic rifles and a certain proportion of  Submachine gun.  The weapons and equipment level of the troops is basically the same as that of Zhang Xinghan’s Northeast Frontier Defense Force six years ago. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　??The weapons and equipment of our direct troops stationed in Japan (the original Northeastern Border Defense Army and the North China Army that was later absorbed and adapted, and individual elite units of the Central Army) stationed in Japan, the Siberian garrison, and the Australian garrison are more advanced.  The main weapons of the infantry have also been changed from the original American semi-automatic rifles and MP38 submachine guns to the more advanced MP40 submachine guns and stg44 assault rifles (MP44 assault rifles).  Almost all of the three thousand latest Leopard tanks were given priority to Wang Yizhe, Gao Chu, Huang Xiansheng, Du Ting, Wang Tiehan and other departments.  At this time, the total strength of the Chinese Army has exceeded 8 million, and Zhang Xinghan's direct troops have reached more than 4 million.  And it controls a huge logistics supply system, namely the Northeast Arsenal (formerly Shenyang Arsenal, which has expanded over the years to become the only company in China that can mass-produce various modern individual weapons, such as semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, etc.  China's first arsenal of artillery, Panzer IV tanks and other armored vehicles), North China Arsenal (formerly Taiyuan Arsenal, although its scale and production capacity are not as good as Shenyang Arsenal, but with Zhang Xinghan's strong support, it has become one of the largest arsenals that can produce armored vehicles in addition to tanks)  The second largest military industrial enterprise in China after Shenyang Arsenal in terms of all individual weapons and small-caliber artillery outside China) Zhongyuan Arsenal and Jiangnan Arsenal were expanded from the original Hanyang Arsenal and Jinling Arsenal respectively.  Mainly to produce individual weapons and some ammunition required for the Southwest Border Guard Army and part of the Northwest Border Guard Army.  In addition, Zhongyuan Arsenal also shoulders an important mission, which is to produce military trucks for material transportation.  These four arsenals, which represent the military industrial base of the Chinese nation, are all under the control of Zhang Xinghan, because Zhang Xinghan now controls the huge financial revenue gained from all China and foreign wars.  Therefore, updating the weapons and equipment of other non-direct troops and improving their combat effectiveness will not pose any threat to Zhang Xinghan.  They all rely on Zhang Xinghan to survive, as long as they have no objection.  Once there is resistance, Zhang Xinghan only needs to cut off their logistical supplies to defeat the enemy without a fight.  This does not include the huge navy and the entire air force controlled by Zhang Xinghan.  In terms of army strength alone, Zhang Xinghan is still number one in China, both in quantity and quality.     Of course.  The current Chinese nation has been under the high pressure of Zhang Xinghan over the years.  It has basically become a rope, and as the control area continues to expand.  The leaders of many factions are no longer limited to the mainland of China in the past.  As long as Zhang Xinghan controls the balance of the distribution of benefits from external expansion, they will be happy to follow Zhang Xinghan.  Anyway, if we can't defeat them again and again, it's better to expand the occupied area together and seize the inexhaustible and endless dividends of war.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: After four years of continuous attrition wars, the war potential of these two blocs has been greatly weakened.  I have said before that the Americans have unique geographical advantages and strategic positions, and they are almost at the forefront of the times, so their war potential is amazing.  But before they could recover from their defeat in the Pacific Battle, the situation in Europe suddenly changed.  They had no choice but to be involved in the war to aid the British and resist Germany. This put their huge war potential in a vicious cycle of immediate consumption, and they were never able to accumulate enough strength to launch a fatal blow to the enemy.  On the other side, the German army was not happy either. The Anglo-American alliance caused the German army to suffer unprecedented losses and difficulties.  In order to continue to compete with the British and American coalition forces, Hitler had to recruit violently from other European occupied areas that could not be digested well to obtain the soldiers and steel they needed.  Oil, minerals, food and other supplies.  This has caused great disaster to the Eastern and Western European countries in the areas controlled by the German army in Europe, and anti-German sentiment is growing day by day.  The economy of the entire Europe has almost completely collapsed at this moment, prices are soaring, inflation is extremely serious, and the lives of people in all countries have fallen into unprecedented suffering.  The United States and the United Kingdom are not much better.  The American economy has regressed for at least ten years since before the war, and Britain, as the main belligerent country and war zone, has suffered even more.  Not only did the economy completely collapse, the entire British Isles was almost reduced to ruins.  Thanks to the support of China's submarine force, the German army caused great losses to the British and American sea transportation lines in the Atlantic Ocean.  On the other hand, China in Asia has been sending troops to the Middle East, Africa and other places in the past four years, but China's own mainland has gained an extremely rare four-year golden period of peaceful development.  &nbsp; In fact, before this, Zhang Xinghan promoted the use of chemical fertilizers in the Northeast region, which greatly increased the grain production of farmers and basically lifted them out of poverty.  The four northeastern provinces have therefore become Zhang Xinghan’s big granary for his foreign campaigns. Over the years, they have provided countless troubled gold and food for Northeastern athletes in their expeditions south and north.  After the Chinese nation completed its substantial reunification, the success of Northeast China began to be replicated in North China, East China, Central China, and South China.  Generally speaking, it is basically impossible to replicate the prosperity of the Northeast region across the country in such a short period of four years.  “However, Zhang Xinghan provided a huge boost to the leap-forward development of the entire Chinese nation. This boost included resources, labor and money.  This boost comes from the war dividends won by the Chinese Expeditionary Corps in its external expansion war.  Divide the Soviet Union equally with Germany, monopolize the Japanese archipelago, Koryo Peninsula, Indochina Peninsula, two-thirds of the Middle East, all the Southeast Asian archipelago and the huge Australia.  These glorious victories brought extremely huge war benefits to the Chinese nation.  Since ancient times, the risks and benefits of war are directly proportional. Looking at the five thousand years of history of the Chinese nation, it is a huge scroll of conquest, expansion, and integration.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…  And those who survived and prospered all gained extremely generous war benefits. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The victorious side, Japan, not only allowed the Manchus to cede a large area of ??territory, but also received hundreds of millions in huge war reparations.  It is precisely thanks to these huge war reparations that the Japanese quickly entered the ranks of the world's first-class capitalist powers on the basis of the Meiji Restoration.  In just a few years, it defeated Russia, the then established empire.  It has become a veritable Asian hegemon and a world power.  It also paved the way for Japan’s full-scale invasion of China in the future and almost wiped out the Chinese nation.  It can be seen that the benefits of such a war are really great, and now Zhang Xinghan has defeated various Western capitalist empires such as Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands through unprecedented generosity.  Seize the colonies throughout the Asia-Pacific region from him.  He also conquered and destroyed Japan in the east.  Note that the Japanese imperialist regime was completely conquered and destroyed.  This is far greater than the victory Japan achieved in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, naturally.  As a victorious country, China also received more war dividends.  As for the colonies of established empires in Indochina, the Middle East, and the Southeast Asian Islands, they have become a free labor and material export base for China to develop its own economy and industry.  According to incomplete statistics, in four years, under Zhang Xinghan’s instruction and acquiescence, at least 50 million people from various indigenous ethnic groups in the Japanese archipelago, Indochina Peninsula, and Southeast Asian archipelago were recruited for various labors in China.  For example, mining, building railways, roads, airports, digging rivers and trenches.  Dredging and water conservancy projects.  It is worth mentioning that they work without any remuneration, and Chinese employers have further developed the capitalist employment system and used these free foreign laborers.  Free labor is not used in vain.  In addition, Zhang Xinghan also transported all the products and minerals from the above-mentioned regions that are useful for domestic development back to the country as much as possible.  Transportation costs, because there is countless free labor available.  So it’s also shockingly cheap.  With such great assistance, the development speed of the Chinese nation is extremely astonishing.  Countless wastelands have been quickly reclaimed by free labor, and the food output and cultivated land scale in various places have doubled dozens of times year after year.  In industry, countless large and small factories, enterprises and workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.  With the support of the state, especially the military, these factories buy inexhaustible various mineral resources from foreign occupied territories back to the country for processing at extremely low costs.  Then it sells well all over the country.  With the rise of industry, the rapid development of agriculture, and the improvement of people's living standards.  The domestic demand advantage of the Chinese nation’s huge population has begun to come to the fore. Industrial products produced domestically hardly need to be exported and can be absorbed by the domestic market.  Such a cycle drives the economy to become more prosperous and people's living standards to improve.  Moreover, as life becomes richer and richer, domestic businessmen have begun to look for exports, such as food that is in short supply in Europe, various daily necessities, etc.  And Zhang Xinghan only needs to collect business taxes and fees, and he has already acquired extremely huge wealth  It also facilitated the development of domestic agriculture, industry, military industry and other industries, directly causing the Chinese nation's economy to develop in a blowout style.  "Compared with the poverty situation in Europe and America caused by war, the Chinese nation is rapidly becoming prosperous and powerful by relying on the huge war dividends.  With the rapid development of the domestic economy, there has been a backlog of various industrial and agricultural products after meeting domestic needs. There is an urgent need to open export trade and export various surplus items in the country to other places in short supply.  Zhang Xinghan has noticed this sign. In addition, Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries have been fighting for so many years. It is time to end the war and make a final blow to China's world hegemony.  Therefore, on September 18, 1940, Zhang Xinghan officially announced to Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries on behalf of the Chinese nation that for the sake of world peace, the war would cease immediately, and the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Army and Air Force would be dispatched to the Atlantic and Europe to mediate this world war.  .

    United States, Washington, White House.  The atmosphere in President Roosevelt's office was extremely depressing.  Roosevelt sat on the sofa with a dark face, looking at several senior generals next to him. He had been fighting in the European battlefield for so long and could not win.  The United States has been trapped in this protracted war of attrition that is extremely time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly and cannot extricate itself.  The British almost suffered a disaster.  Although Roosevelt knew that this was not entirely the responsibility of the incompetence of his generals, the Chinese actually announced that they wanted an immediate armistice between Britain, the United States, France and Germany.  “ Putting aside how unreasonable and unreasonable the Chinese people’s demands are, it makes it difficult for the proud and arrogant British Empire and the United States of America to accept surrender without losing face.  “Furthermore, during the four-year European war, the European and American coalition forces suffered millions of casualties. It would be difficult to convince and support the people in the country who are full of revenge desires by just suspending the war.  Roosevelt and Churchill had just made promises to the domestic people before, and finally used their hatred to make the two countries' migrant workers form a situation where they shared the same hatred and hatred and were unanimous in dealing with the outside world.  If we really succumb to China and surrender at this time, I am afraid that the good friends Roosevelt and Churchill will be fired by the people of their country immediately.  "Mr. President, according to military intelligence, several major Chinese naval fleets left their navy a week ago and marched in two directions toward our west coast and the Atlantic Ocean. On the European continent, the economies of various countries have completely collapsed, and the people are suffering.  "The Germans' high-pressure rule has made the people extremely dissatisfied, and anti-German sentiment is growing day by day. As long as we persist, Germany will inevitably collapse from within, and then we will be able to launch a counterattack in Europe," Marshall analyzed for Roosevelt.  introduced.  Roosevelt snorted coldly and said: "Zhang Xinghan is a cunning guy. If we really agree to an armistice, he will also find other excuses to march into Europe and North America." "What you are saying is that the so-called mediation of the war is just a cover. But, if  If the Chinese expeditionary fleet really intervenes in the Atlantic battlefield and attacks our west coast from the North Pacific, we will probably face serious trouble. In the past four years, the Chinese have developed eight aircraft carriers.  Battle group, this is comparable to our Anglo-American alliance, and their carrier-based aircraft and submarines are more advanced than ours," Marshall said with a frown.  "Marshall, in your opinion, will the Germans respond to the Chinese call for an armistice and cease the war?" Roosevelt asked.  Marshall thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We and the Germans are competing to see who can persist until the last moment, and Hitler is an extremely arrogant war maniac. He will not give in until he is unable to support it.  This war is over. "However, it is not ruled out that he will directly join the war in exchange for the squadron, and Xu and Weisheng will temporarily declare a ceasefire." "The current European battlefield, except for the submarine force.  There is no trace left, and their most powerful army is blocked on the other side of the English Channel. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst. If the Chinese navy invades and joins the war, then we should use an appropriate navy to blockade the English Channel and strengthen our presence in England.  The air force and air defense forces of the Three Islands, Iceland and other places then concentrated all their naval and air forces to fight to the death with the Chinese Navy Combined Fleet. "Roosevelt paused and continued: "This battle is the showdown between us and China, the Asian giant.  , a battle that will completely determine the future of the world." Marshall nodded unequivocally.  Although the German army is powerful, it is an army. The air force is on par with the British and American coalition forces, and even the British and American coalition forces have some advantages.  This may be because China has not provided them with technical support for its new jet fighters.  In terms of navy, the British and American forces completely destroyed the German army. It is precisely because of this that they were able to fight the German Empire, which occupied all of Europe, for four years without losing the British Isles.  The U.S. Navy has developed greatly in the past four years and is much stronger than it was during the Pacific Naval War.  There are a dozen aircraft carrier battle groups, although they have not yet developed a jet fighter equipped by the squadron because they have not captured any complete jet fighter.  “But their P-51 Mustang fighter jets were rapidly updated under the pressure of a huge survival crisis, and several improved models were derived.  Its main performance is almost the same as that of the jet fighters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and it can be called the pinnacle of piston fighters in the world.  So, although they areIt lags behind the Chinese Navy in terms of performance of its boats and fighter aircraft, but its overall strength is still slightly better.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the British and American coalition forces are fighting in offshore and home waters in the North Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean? If they fight with all their strength, they still have at least a 60% chance of winning.  ………………Germany, Berlin Empire State Building.  As Marshall expected, Hitler was extremely unimpressed with Zhang Xinghan's order-like declaration of a mandatory armistice, and he was so angry that he even ordered the German Far East Group to launch an attack on the Chinese troops in Siberia and the Persian Gulf.  Fortunately, Goering, Rommel and other subordinates dissuaded him in time, and on the grounds that the front-line troops really needed to be repaired, they put forward the suggestion of taking advantage of the situation.  That is to say, they temporarily agreed to a truce, while seizing the time to replenish soldiers and equipment as well as various supplies that were in short supply on the front line, waiting for the Chinese army to start a war with the British and American coalition forces in the Atlantic.  The German army is eager to reap the benefits.  ………………… In Nanjing, China, Zhang Xinghan had just sent away the person in charge of the most powerful strategic weapons unit in charge of him - the person in charge of the nuclear bomb codenamed Chinese Arrow.  The importance of nuclear bombs is self-evident, so this special force is completely drawn from Zhang Xinghan's direct line troops.  All members of the army are from Longxing Military Academy and are hard-core veterans who have served in each army for more than five years. They are absolutely loyal and obedient to Zhang Xinghan.  Jiang Baili walked in under the recommendation of Guo Zhong and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commissioner, the Americans and British have not paid attention to our armistice announcement, and according to reliable information, their navy and air force are being mobilized on a large scale.  It seems to be preparing to attack our naval expedition fleet. "Where are the Germans?" Zhang Xinghan asked.  "Hitler sent a message agreeing to our truce proposal. However, according to the intelligence coming from Europe, the German army did not actually have a truce. Instead, it took this opportunity to send more reinforcements and supplies to the European front lines." Jiang Baili said.  .  Zhang Xinghan smiled without emotion and said: "Obviously, the British and American empires still don't give up. They want to fight us with their strong navy and air force. We can't blame us for this." After saying that, Zhang Xinghan picked up the  He picked up a top-secret hotline and gave instructions in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Shenjian obeyed the order and immediately implemented the original plan, targeting Los Angeles, USA."

    Jiang Baili, who was standing aside, asked with some uncertainty until Zhang Xinghan put down the phone: "Commissioner, are you going to use atomic bombs against the Americans?" Zhang Xinghan nodded.  Jiang Baili said with some worry: "Then what if the Americans were hit by an atomic bomb and still refused to surrender and insisted on fighting us? Don't we only have one atomic bomb now?" Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Our atomic bomb  There is only one for the time being, but there will be a third and fourth one soon. Moreover, Brother Baili, you still don’t know enough about the power of the atomic bomb. Don’t worry, the Americans may even bring the first atomic bomb.  We can’t survive the killings. Let’s wait and see. Tomorrow at most, we will get a shocking response from the Western Hemisphere.” …………… In the vast North Pacific, the Chinese Navy’s Third Fleet is stationed near Sakhalin Island.  The independent mixed fleets in the sea formed a huge fleet and were heading towards the west coast of the United States.  This huge fleet consists of more than 500 large and small ships and more than 300 jet carrier-based aircraft. There are also a total of more than 500 xxi submarines escorting them in the sea areas in front, rear, left and right of them.  On one of the aircraft carriers named China Taishan, the pilots and ground crew on the deck were urgently making final preparations for a B-29 Super Fortress bomber before the expedition.  The Taishan aircraft carrier is currently the largest aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy, with a total tonnage of nearly 80,000 tons. It is also the largest aircraft carrier in the world.  is the first aircraft carrier among the eight aircraft carrier battle groups formed by Zhang Xinghan for the Chinese Navy.  Before dispatching the navy's major fleets this time, Zhang Xinghan had already decided to use atomic bombs against the United States to solve World War II once and for all and force Britain and the United States to surrender. Therefore, the only atomic bomb in the world had been secretly shipped to the Chinese Navy before.  3rd Fleet Naval Base in the Hawaiian Islands.  And set off with the aircraft carrier Taishan.  When the reaction of Britain, the United States and other countries was as Zhang Xinghan expected.  Zhang Xinghan immediately issued a top-secret operational plan to launch an atomic bomb attack to the head of the Navy's Third Fleet.  After receiving Zhang Xinghan’s order, the pilots and naval officers and soldiers on the Taishan immediately became busy.  As the main base of the Third Naval Fleet, Pearl Harbor is about more than 5,000 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States. With the ultra-long range of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, it can take off directly for bombing.  "However, in order to allow fighter jets to accompany us as escort.  The Chinese Navy’s Third Fleet had to move its take-off point as far as possible to the mainland of the United States.  Because of the importance of the West Coast, the Americans urgently mobilized two aircraft carrier battle groups from the Atlantic Ocean.  With the addition of an aircraft carrier battle group that was originally responsible for offshore defense on the country's west coast, there are now three aircraft carrier battle groups gathering on the west coast of the United States.  The total number of sea-based and land-based combat aircraft exceeds 3,000.  For safety reasons, the Third Fleet stopped advancing when it reached waters about 1,500 kilometers away from Los Angeles.  A large number of fighter jets quickly took off, and underwater submarine forces and peripheral destroyers and frigates formed a tight line of defense.  With the order from the head of the Third Fleet.  The B-29 Super Fortress bomber loaded with the China Shenjian No. 1 atomic bomb took off smoothly from the flight deck of the USS Taishan aircraft carrier.  More than fifty jet fighters immediately formed an escort flight formation to protect it.  Then it quickly rose to high altitude and flew towards the airspace in the direction of Los Angeles, USA.  At this time, the U.S. Navy’s naval reconnaissance submarine had discovered traces of China’s Third Fleet and quickly reported this important information.  Roosevelt immediately ordered three aircraft carrier battle groups to deploy in full force to attack the Chinese expeditionary fleet.  ?According to information display.  The Chinese navy that appears on the west coast is not its main fleet, and the main decisive battle location is in the Atlantic Ocean.  Therefore, Roosevelt did not hesitate to order the fleet to attack in an attempt to encircle and annihilate this Chinese navy with superior force and regain control of the North Pacific and the naval base in the Hawaiian Islands.  “The escort flight formation of Shenjian 1 finally arrived in the airspace near Los Angeles after more than three hours of flight.  With the help of radar, Arrow 1, the first atomic bomb in human history, was dropped from an altitude of 10,000 meters above Los Angeles.  Ten minutes later.  There was an earth-shaking explosion in Los Angeles, and an extremely dazzling red light quickly spread and expanded into the sky.  The blossoming urban area of ??Los Angeles and the U.S. military’s port base here were both destroyed in an instant.The huge shock wave destroyed everything.  ……………… Washington, USA, in the Office of the President of the White House.  Roosevelt smoked anxiously, turning his head from time to time and asking: "Can't we still contact Los Angeles?" A secretary nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Mr. President, our contact with Los Angeles has been completely cut off. We still don't know where it happened.  "What? It's just that the aircraft carrier battle group noticed a monstrous red light and violent explosion in Los Angeles ten minutes ago." Roosevelt looked anxious, and there was always an ominous premonition spreading in his heart, just when he was restless and almost going crazy.  .  An old figure walked in, and Marshall met Roosevelt's anxious and questioning eyes.  Ru Sangkao said feebly: "The Chinese launched an attack on Los Angeles." "What's going on? The Chinese launched an air raid on Los Angeles?" This was the only possibility that Roosevelt could think of.  Marshall nodded, then shook his head.  Roosevelt immediately shouted anxiously: "General Marshall, please tell me clearly, what happened in Los Angeles? Why were all contacts with the outside world interrupted?" Marshall was filled with grief and said in despair: "Contacts with Los Angeles have been restored.  Unblocked. The Chinese launched an air attack on Los Angeles, using a weapon of mass destruction we had never seen before. The entire Los Angeles was reduced to ashes in less than ten minutes, with at least 100,000 casualties, all of Los Angeles.  Important military facilities, ports, bases, and shipbuilding plants were all destroyed. "What?" Roosevelt was completely stunned.  "What kind of weapon is this? Is it so lethal? One hundred thousand people? A Los Angeles?" Roosevelt really felt that Marshall was being alarmist at this moment, thinking that this was most likely an error in intelligence.  At this time, he noticed that Marshall was holding a document in his hand, and Marshall handed it to him directly.  Roosevelt opened it immediately. After reading it, he still didn't believe how the Chinese could possess this new type of weapon. As for the United States, it has not yet launched real-time development of weapons of mass destruction.  Its stage is still limited to some suggestions put forward by some Jewish scientists, such as Einstein and others. ??????????????????? However, the Americans do not know enough about this, and they are fighting Germany fiercely in the British Isles, so there has not been any substantial progress yet.  However, what Roosevelt could not figure out was that the Chinese, whose technological level was backward, actually possessed the weapons of mass destruction envisioned by scientists.  “And I didn’t expect that this so-called weapon of mass destruction would be so powerful.  "Mr. President, what should we do next? The Chinese have powerful enough to destroy the entire United States and Britain. It seems that we should not continue to fight, otherwise, the entire Anglo-American alliance will fall into an unprecedented disaster." Marshall.  He said sadly but helplessly.  Unexpectedly, Roosevelt unexpectedly said: "No, the Chinese will not be able to develop many new weapons of mass destruction in the short term, maybe even just one. We cannot just admit defeat and risk the fate of the entire United States of America."  Let the Chinese take control. "What if the Chinese still have this new weapon? Who knows where their next air attack will be? New York? Or Washington?" Marshall seemed unwilling to accept it.  He asked anxiously, almost growling.  Roosevelt was unmoved. He was indeed unwilling, even though Los Angeles was razed to the ground in less than an hour.  "But the overall strength of the United States still exists. He wants to take a gamble and bet that the Chinese only have this one atomic bomb."

 Volume One: September 18th Anti-Japanese War Chapter 613: Chinese Alliance

    After successfully razing Los Angeles to the ground with the atomic bomb, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed the diplomatic department to once again issue a statement on behalf of the Chinese nation.  However, this time it is no longer about mediating the European and American war, but a stern demand that the British and American coalition forces immediately choose to surrender to the Chinese army.  Otherwise, the Chinese government will not rule out the use of decisive weapons again until the Anglo-American alliance agrees to surrender.  Although Los Angeles was razed to the ground in an instant by a new mysterious weapon used by the Chinese army, it shocked countless soldiers and civilians of Britain, the United States, France and other countries overnight.  The Allied military governments did not respond to the unreasonable demands of the Chinese army. Instead, they were actively preparing for war.  When the entire Western world was in extreme panic and panic, the Germans no longer dared to act rashly and suspended military operations.  Nanjing City, inside the Operations Hall of the Military Commission.  Jiang Baili frowned and said: "Commissioner, the prophecy has unfortunately come true. The Americans really do not intend to surrender. It seems that they will resist to the end." Zhang Xinghan smiled coldly and said: "It is not possible to resist to the end. Luo Laizi is gambling very much.  "It's possible." "Gambling? Are you saying that the Americans are sure that we only have one atomic bomb?" Jiang Baili was very smart and thought of it immediately.  Zhang Xinghan nodded, paused and said: "Notify all major fleets to fight with all their strength, and be sure to block the counterattack of the British and American coalition forces on the sea line a thousand kilometers away from the mainland of the United States, so as to create conditions for the next nuclear strike." "Yes."  Jiang Baili was wondering if Zhang Xinghan had a second nuclear bomb, but he nodded in agreement.  Leaving the war hall, Zhang Xinghan went directly to his private study, took out his multi-function watch and checked it.  The atomic bomb attack on Los Angeles really brought him a huge income from enemy kill points. Because the two sides are hostile countries, all the Americans killed and injured this time are counted. Adding the remaining enemy kill points from before, it has been  Enough for Zhang Xinghan to exchange for another atomic bomb.  In the next week, the naval fleets of China, the United States and Britain launched a bloody battle of unprecedented scale in the Atlantic and North Pacific.  Because this time Zhang Xinghan planned to carry out an atomic bomb attack on New York.  Therefore, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th fleets of the Chinese Navy all set off to the Atlantic to participate in the war.  In order to ensure that their bombers could take off within the effective combat radius, they launched a real head-to-head decisive battle with the British and American coalition forces.  The 3rd Naval Fleet in the North Pacific adopted defensive and guerrilla warfare to attract scattered U.S. troops eager for revenge.  In order to ensure victory in the Atlantic decisive battle, Zhang Xinghan transferred almost four-fifths of the submarine force to the Atlantic to participate in the battle.  After a week of several large-scale battles, relying on advanced fighter planes and submarine forces, the Chinese naval fleet achieved brilliant results although it paid a certain price in casualties.  The main force of the British and American coalition fleet was severely damaged.  Especially the British fleet was almost completely annihilated.  After a few days, the second atomic bomb prepared by Zhang Xinghan finally secretly arrived at the temporary base of the 1st Fleet.  The next day, China's three major naval fleets and submarine forces concentrated their efforts and once again launched a large-scale assault on the British and American coalition forces. Then a B-29 Super Fortress bomber took off from an aircraft carrier named Kunlun Mountain.  Flying towards New York, USA.  Two hours later, the second atomic bomb in human history exploded into brilliant fireworks over New York.  The entire Manhattan Island in New York and other places were destroyed in an instant by powerful shock waves and radioactive rays.  Three hours later, U.S. President Roosevelt sadly issued a statement, ordering all U.S. troops around the world to immediately stop confrontation with the Chinese army and surrender to them. He also called on the British army and other allies to stop resisting.  The fighting ended through negotiation, and Roosevelt subsequently resigned.  The British and French announced their surrender an hour after the Americans.  Agree to surrender to the Chinese army.  Britain, the United States, France and other countries made a wise choice. The second atomic bomb completely destroyed their willpower and courage to continue fighting.  “It is impossible for them, and it is impossible for the people in the country who are in extreme panic to support them to continue to confront the Chinese.  The loss of autonomy and one's own armed forces are really nothing compared to the destruction of the entire country.  In the original history of World War II, the Americans’ two atomic bombs destroyed the Japanese who clamored to fight in pieces and were severely brainwashed by the Bushido spirit. They had no choice but to surrender and have since become one of the puppet allies of the Americans in Asia.  Not to mention the capitalist countries such as Britain, the United States and France that regard life as the most important.  The reason why Zhang Xinghan did not choose to attack Washington??London carried out a nuclear strike because of this.  Because if Churchill and Roosevelt die, the British and American coalition forces are likely to fall into division.  It cannot be ruled out that the militants in both countries will continue to fight regardless of all costs.  This is detrimental to the Chinese Expeditionary Force’s entry into the British Isles and North American countries.  After the British and American allied forces surrendered, Zhang Xinghan immediately withdrew two million troops from the country and rushed to the British Isles and the United States in batches.  Garrisoned in Canada and Mexico.  And accept the surrender of the American and British troops.  And establish military bases in important areas of North America and the British Isles for long-term garrisoning.  These things continued until a year later before the two million Chinese Expeditionary Force established complete military bases in North America, the British Isles and South America.  And it has supported two pro-China puppet regimes in the United States and the United Kingdom.  At this time, Zhang Xinghan also formally agreed to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's decision to lead one million troops to Australia, Indonesia and other Oceania islands.  And promised to continue to immigrate to the above-mentioned areas in the next three years to ensure that the number of Chinese has an absolute advantage in the local area.  At the same time, Zhang Xinghan officially transferred domestic power to the Communist Party of China led by Chairman Mao.  It is up to them to choose the opportunity to form a new people's government. ? In the past few years.  The excellent style and governance capabilities of the Communists have won the support of many Chinese people.  Zhang Xinghan and the Communist Party agreed that at the appropriate time, all China's inherent territories and occupied territories including the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Islands, the Taiwan Islands, Outer Mongolia, Siberia, and Sakhalin would be handed over to the New People's Government.  He himself led the four major naval fleets and the main army of two million people to officially move to South America. His jurisdiction includes Indochina, Indochina and the archipelago region of Southeast Asia except Indonesia, as well as Kazakhstan, the Persian Gulf and other Middle East regions.  At the same time, all the domestic military industry was left behind. Zhang Xing’s expeditionary force of two million men stationed on the American continent recruited a large number of industrial machinery, equipment, technicians and engineers from Britain, the United States and other countries. ? Establish China’s industrial base in South America.  Although the Germans control most of the European continent, their economy is already on the verge of collapse, especially after being invaded by the Chinese economy.  The Chinese exchanged the cheapest surplus commodities and grain from the European continent for countless strategic resources such as gold, silver dollars, petroleum and coal.  By 1945, China’s immigration to Southeast Asia, South America and Australia had been basically completed, with a total of more than 250 million immigrants.  ??Among them, there are more than 100 million in South America, and the number of immigrants in the Southeast Asian Islands, Indochina Islands and Australia has also reached 150 million.  After several years of development, the domestic economy has become unprecedentedly prosperous. The Communist Party established the People's Republic of China, and relied on the industrial and military foundation left by Zhang Xinghan to reorganize a three-million-strong army.  The huge army of the army, navy and air force is named the Chinese People's Liberation Army.  Chairman Chiang moved to Australia and successfully re-established the new National Government. The military strength has grown to 1.5 million, and the economy is very prosperous. With the help of Zhang Xinghan, the industrial and military base is also very advanced and strong.  Zhang Xinghan has more than five million troops stationed in South and North America in the British Isles, Indochina, Indochina and the Middle East.  However, the rich resources in these areas ensured the huge expenditure of the economy and military under his rule.  And the war dividends brought by Britain, the United States and other countries are still taking effect.  The living standards of Chinese immigrants in various places have improved rapidly, and the economy is very prosperous.  In the same year, Zhang Xinghan, Chairman Chiang, Chairman Mao and others gathered in Singapore and announced the formation of the China Alliance among the three countries. In addition to comprehensive cooperation in economy, agriculture, and industry, the China Alliance also formed an important strategic alliance in the military.  If there is a war anywhere in the world, the three countries will stand on a united front and fight together.  And this year, Hitler could not bear the economic constraints of the Chinese, and ordered the seizure of the mines, factories and other wealth institutions of Chinese businessmen in Europe.  The Chinese Alliance immediately decided to send troops to Europe. Among them, the Nationalist Government sent one million troops, Zhang Xinghan sent two million troops, and the Chinese mainland sent three million troops, marching toward Europe from the British Isles, the Asian continent, and the Middle East respectively.  In this battle, the Chinese Alliance dispatched tens of thousands of fighter planes, thousands of submarines and warships, 20,000 tanks and ground armored combat vehicles, and hundreds of thousands of large and small caliber artillery pieces.  The German army swept across Europe almost like a torrent of steel.  The people of various European countries have long been unable to bear the German rule.They all rose up to fight back to welcome the Chinese army that could bring them a prosperous life.  With the loss of air control and the support of the people, the German army suffered a crushing defeat. In just three months, China's six million troops quickly captured most of Europe, invaded the German mainland, and besieged its capital Berlin.  Hitler was defeated and committed suicide, Germany formally surrendered to the Chinese army, and the Chinese Alliance has since controlled the last rich and military-strength area on earth.  After conquering Europe, various countries established pro-China governments with the rapid support of China.  In the same year, the Chinese Alliance decided to divide the African continent equally and obtain various resources on the continent for common development.
