Chapter 114: The Great War Begins

Not long after staying at the Dongta Airport, Xu Guoren inspected the defensive positions of the First Brigade and instructed them to pay more attention to guarding against Japanese air raids before leaving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, he also instructed Gao Zhihang: "The Japanese have suffered a big loss in this air battle, and they will definitely come to retaliate, you must be more careful!" ”

Gao Zhihang swore to Xu Guoren: "Please rest assured, sir, we will be more vigilant!" If the little devils dare to come again, we will definitely fight them to the end! ”

Back in the city, Chen Zhiyuan and Huang Xiansheng both inquired about the battle situation, and they were overjoyed to learn that the Air Force had won a complete victory in the first battle.

Looking for an opportunity, Xu Guoren called Chen Zhiyuan aside alone and said to him: "Old Chen, you also know that almost all of the foundation of the Zhang family and his son for decades are in Shenyang, no matter whether Shenyang can defend it or not, we can't continue to keep them here, because it's too dangerous here!" It can be attacked and destroyed by enemy air raids at any time!

Moreover, if the Japanese devils are determined to expand the scale of the war and continue to increase their troops, then Shenyang will not be able to hold on sooner or later, so we must take precautions in advance. ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Zhiyuan first nodded in agreement with Xu Guoren's point of view, but he was a little unclear.

"Ask for organizational assistance, activate underground party organizations in Northeast China, and help us remove all the main mechanical assembly lines and equipment of the Northeast Arsenal from Shenyang as much as possible! Shipped to the USSR! Xu Guoren said: "All in all, in a word, we have to do everything possible to move the old bottom of the Northeast Army, even if it can't be moved, even if it is blown up, it can't be left to the Japanese." ”

"There shouldn't be a big problem on the Soviet side, but how we get to the Soviet Union is a big problem!" Chen Zhiyuan looked up and made sure that no one was able to continue: "Shenyang is thousands of miles away from the Sino-Soviet border!" ”

Xu Guoren said: "Of course, this can't be withdrawn to the Soviet Union all at once, I have already thought about it, if Shenyang can't hold it, our next step is to withdraw to Jiangcheng (now Jilin City), contact Changchun and other anti-Japanese armed forces, rely on the Songhua River to establish an anti-Japanese base area, and rely on the Soviet Union, we can retreat and attack, advance and defend!" Therefore, first organize manpower and transport the equipment and machines that can be transported to Jiangcheng!

In the future, if the war situation is tight, we will look for opportunities to transport it to the Soviet Union. Of course, if we can stabilize the anti-Japanese base in the Songhua River, then we don't have to transport it away! ”

"Oh, that's a good idea." Chen Zhiyuan said: I will immediately ask the organization for instructions and explain the situation we are actually facing now.

"However, do we have to discuss it with General Huang Xiansheng?"

"Of course, it is more appropriate for you to come forward for this job, Old Chen, in addition, I think General Huang Xiansheng is also a soldier with a patriotic heart and the ambition to serve the country! It should be an object that can be united and wooed, and if you try to get in touch with him, maybe you will become your own person, in that case, everything will be easy to do! Xu Guoren smiled slightly.

"Well, I'll give it a try." Chen Zhiyuan turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Guoren and asked: "By the way, Old Chen, there is one more thing, you can also tell Commander Huang about it, just say that the air battle at Dongta Airport was a great victory, and ask him to send a telegram to publicize it to the outside world, so that compatriots will know that we are fighting and winning!" ”

Chen Zhiyuan understood, smiled and turned to leave.

Liaoyang, the Japanese garrison.

Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro were giving advice to the commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Tamon, to attack Shenyang.

Knowing that the air force failed to attack Shenyang and almost all the troops were wiped out, they were all taken aback.

"Because of the heavy losses of the army aviation units under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army, your troops will not be able to receive effective air support until new reinforcements arrive! Commander Honjo Shigeru ordered you, if necessary, to postpone the attack on Shenyang and wait for reinforcements! A communications staff officer of the Second Division, holding the telegram he had just received in both hands, continued to report to Jiro Tamon.

"Ishihara-kun, Itagaki Sei-kun, do you think we should continue the attack, or wait for reinforcements to arrive before deciding?" Jiro Tamen glanced at the two of them with an inquiring eye.

Ishihara Wan'er pondered for a while and said: "Sir, the people of China have a good saying about the art of war, the soldiers are noble and fast, if it is delayed any longer, the defense line of the China Army in Shenyang will be more stable, and it may get more support." So, I suggest, go on the offensive! With the strength we can muster so far, even without the support of the air force, we will definitely be able to defeat the National Salvation Army of Huang and Xu! Occupy Shenyang! ”

Seishiro Itagaki also nodded in agreement, and expounded his opinion: "Sir, as we all know, Shenyang is the largest and most developed city in the whole northeast, and it is also the core of the entire Manchuria. So, I support Ishihara-kun's point of view! And he is willing to personally lead an imperial army to serve as a vanguard and attack Shenyang! ”

At this moment, another signal soldier hurriedly came and reported to Duomen Jiro and others: "I just got the news that the imperial expatriates and merchants in Shenyang City have been arrested by the defenders of Shenyang on the grounds of searching for spies, and it is very likely that all of them have been killed!" ”

Jiro Tamon and the others all stood up abruptly this time, and Ishihara Waner even asked, "Is the news true?" ”

"This news has just come from the special high school department under the command of the Kwantung Army, it should be true!" The devil messenger replied.

"In other words, General Shigeru Honjo also knows?" Jiro Tamon asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes, His Excellency the General instructed us to overcome the suffering of not having air force support, capture Shenyang as soon as possible, and avenge those imperial compatriots who died!" The devil messenger bowed his head and said.

Itagaki Seishiro's eyes gradually turned red, and he gritted his teeth and pleaded with Domen Jiro: "Your Excellency General, please assign me to the front-line combat unit, and I will personally lead the imperial warriors to attack Shenyang!" ”

Duomen Erlang was also filled with righteous indignation, and said coldly: "Order the troops, continue to implement the original battle plan, and after breaking Shenyang, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

The corners of Ishihara's mouth moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

With the order of Jiro Tamen, the main force of the Japanese Second Division and the Kwantung Army road guards in various places along the railway line all rushed to Shenyang at full speed.

Two days later, an infantry brigade of the vanguard of the 2nd Division and three independent garrisons from Changchun, Siping, and Zhengjiatun, totaling about 3,000 troops, had already advanced to the area of Dongta Airport and Hushitai Barracks.

The news was learned by the cavalry scouts of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and quickly reported.

At this time, Huang Xiansheng had been persuaded by Chen Zhiyuan to agree to split and withdraw the Shenyang Arsenal and the inexhaustible weapons, ammunition and military supplies as capital to resist the enemy in the future.

Xu Guoren got the report of the scouts, hurriedly returned to the army headquarters, and said to the two: "I just got the news that the enemy has come over." ”

"Really?" Huang Xiansheng and Chen Zhiyuan were startled, and immediately walked to the battle map with Xu Guoren.

After Xu Guoren told the location of the Japanese army, Huang Xiansheng looked at the map and asked Xu Guoren: "Deputy Commander Xu, what do you think?" Tell me about it! ”

"According to the intelligence brought by the scouts, the enemy is only the vanguard, my opinion is that take the initiative to attack and concentrate your forces to destroy one of the enemy forces first!" Xu Guoren said.
