Chapter 85 Arrival in Chahar

Chen Zhiyuan believed that taking Yi County would be conducive to replenishing and recuperating the troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Xu Guoren considered that once Yi County was captured, their whereabouts would be exposed, and perhaps it would also attract the encirclement and suppression of the Northeast Army, which would lead to the vigilance of the local armed forces in the Chahar area, which would not be conducive to the future actions of the independent division, so he decided to bypass Yi County, go directly from the Bauhinia Pass, and advance north.

"Well, Guoren, what you think about is also reasonable, then listen to you, don't fight Yi County!"

After the discussion was decided, Xu Guoren ordered Guo Xiaoliu to lead 400 cavalry to fight the vanguard, bypass Yi County, and go straight to the Bauhinia Pass, which was 40 kilometers away.

On the way, Xu Guoren rode his horse to the three regiments, which were responsible for taking the wounded soldiers of the Northeast Army who had been rescued at Xiaoniuzhuang Station.

Xu Guoren came to see Zhang Dongsheng, who was still lying on the stretcher, this guy was seriously injured at the beginning, and under Chen Zhiyuan's full treatment, although he was out of danger, he has not been able to fully recover.

Seeing Xu Guoren coming, Zhang Dongsheng struggled to get up from the stretcher, but Xu Guoren raised his hand to stop: "Company Commander Zhang, your injuries have not healed, you don't have to get up." ”

Zhang Dongsheng cast a grateful look at Xu Guoren, nodded and lay down.

; "Company Commander Zhang, you have to get better quickly, my cavalry battalion is still waiting for you to be the battalion commander." Xu Guoren said with a smile.

Zhang Dongsheng was very puzzled and said, "What does this mean, sir?" ”

"I invite you to join my troops, and I will treat you as the commander of the cavalry battalion!" Xu Guoren got straight to the point.

Zhang Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "Sir's life-saving grace, Zhang will never forget!" It's just that he was born in the Northeast Martial Arts Hall, and he has not left the Northeast Army, please forgive me for my fate! ”

Xu Guoren said with a smile: "Company Commander Zhang, what you say is out of sight, my unit is also from the Northeast Army, the number adapted by Major Marshal Zhang himself, you forgot the 88th Independent Brigade!" Besides, what are you doing there? I'm not Japanese, so if you follow me, you can show what you've learned and serve your country! ”

Zhang Dongsheng swallowed back when he said this, after all, Xu Guoren was his savior, even if he knew that Xu Guoren had defected to the Communist Party and actually rebelled, he couldn't say it to his face.

Therefore, he just lowered his head and said with some guilt: "Zhang's life was saved by the commander, if the commander wants me to repay with my life, I will never say anything, it's just that I will break away from the Northeast Army, please forgive me for my fate!" ”

Xu Guoren saw that he couldn't turn the corner for a while, and thought to himself that when the 918 incident broke out after a while, he was not afraid that you would not agree.

However, although this kind of guy is stubborn, he is also loyal, as long as he can win it over, he will have another loyal subordinate in the future, and Zhang Dongsheng was born in the Northeast Lecture Hall, which can be regarded as a serious academic background.

Its ability and potential are not comparable to Guo Hu's group of big bosses!

Therefore, Xu Guoren was not angry at all, and pretended to sigh regretfully: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't be difficult for others, but I think you will understand in the future that I, Xu someone, am by no means a person who forgets his righteousness, and the uprising is just forced to be helpless, and in the future, you will also understand who is the Communist Party and the Northeast Army, who is the organization that really serves the country and the people." ”

Forty kilometers, because the mountain road was narrow and rugged, Xu Guoren's independent division walked for a full day, and arrived at Bauhinia Pass in the middle of the night.

At this time, most of the people in the city had already fallen asleep, and only a very small number of young and middle-aged people were holding old-fashioned bird guns, spears, and broadswords on duty on the wall to keep vigil.

Guo Xiaoliu arrived first with the cavalry, and without waiting for Xu Guoren to be consulted, he ordered to attack, hundreds of cavalry rode war horses and ran directly to the wall, several rows of guns hit over, most of the bullets hit the city wall, splashing bursts of sparks, and countless brick and stone fragments fell.

The sudden attack frightened the guards, and they crouched down with their heads in their hands, and the cavalry swarmed up, blew open the gate, and broke through.

It took almost no effort to control Bauhinia Pass.

Subsequently, Xu Guoren entered the Bauhinia Pass with the main force of the army and rested in the Bauhinia Pass for half the night. Early the next morning, the independent division was drawn again, and Xu Guoren did not embarrass the descendants of those who guarded the pass.

They almost cut off evil contact with the outside world, but they were not worried about exposing Xu Guoren's whereabouts.

By the time the Northeast Army defeated Shi Yousan and then came back to find himself, Xu Guoren would probably have led his troops into the three northeastern provinces.

At that time, the 918 incident should have almost broken out, and no one could take care of him.

The 918 Incident was a disaster for the Northeast Army, but for Xu Guoren's army, it was an opportunity.

Before the armed forces led by the Communist Party reached the north and the war of resistance broke out in full force, there was an opportunity to gain a foothold in the north.

After leaving the Bauhinia Pass, Xu Guoren marched at full speed with his troops, and it took three days and three nights to arrive at Zhuo County and officially enter the scope of Chahar Province.

Zhuo County only had more than 200 local militia members stationed, and seeing that Xu Guoren's army was coming under the banner of the Northeast Army, the defenders not only did not resist, but also went out of the city to greet them, and they regarded Xu Guoren as if they had come to occupy territory.

These militia groups are local armed forces, and it is okay to protect the county town and prevent bandits and robbers.

If they resist the regular army, they don't have the ability and the boldness, and they can't do it.

Today's Northeast Army is also the National Revolutionary Army, and their entry into Chahar is not much different from the previous occupation of the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army.

However, what they didn't expect was that after Xu Guoren's troops entered the city, they immediately disarmed and controlled them.

After several days of continuous marching, Xu Guoren decided to rest in Zhuo County.

As soon as he settled his parents and arranged his division headquarters, Chen Zhiyuan came in a hurry, and said to Xu Guoren with a smile: "Guoren, after interrogation, I got a very useful news!" ”

"Oh? What news makes you happy like this, Old Chen? Xu Guoren asked curiously.

"Zhangjiakou, according to the confession of this group of militias, Zhangjiakou, the provincial capital, is now in a blank area of troops, and there are only less than two regiments of militia regiments and more than 1,000 Mongolian armed cavalry stationed in the entire Zhangjiakou. The more Chen Zhiyuan spoke, the more excited he became: "If we can take Zhangjiakou, then capture all parts of Chahar."

If we can establish a revolutionary base here, it will be able to echo the north and south of the central government, and it will be of great help to the revolution! ”

"If we establish a revolutionary base here and officially change our banner, then once the Nationalist Government mobilizes heavy troops to encircle and suppress it, we will have no danger to defend, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" To tell the truth, Xu Guoren knows some history, so he never thought of staying in Chahar for development, the most ideal is to go north and go out of the customs, enter the three eastern provinces, take advantage of the 918 incident, under the banner of resisting Japan, to incorporate the Northeast Army that is unwilling to surrender to the enemy, and copy Zhang Xueliang.

However, Chen Zhiyuan is not a traverser, he didn't know that the 918 Incident would break out in more than two months, and now that the Independent Division has successfully entered Chahar and become the most powerful armed force here, it is inevitable that he will change his original mind.

I only heard Chen Zhiyuan's rare insistence on his own opinion: "Guoren, you are too pessimistic, we are now the most powerful armed force in Chahar, and with your excellent command and leadership, we will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Chahar, I have just sent a telegram to the organization to report the situation of the enemy here, and I believe that the organization will give us a reply soon." ”

Xu Guoren was a little speechless when he heard this, the Central Red Army is probably facing the second or third large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Nationalist Army, and it is too busy to take care of itself, and the two sides are far away from most of China, if Chen Zhiyuan said in the telegram that the situation here is too optimistic, then maybe the Central Committee will really give an order to build a revolutionary base area on the spot by an independent division.

Xu Guoren thought about it carefully, Chairman Mao, the founder of the wise and wise republic and the great founding leader of the country, did not seem to have become the supreme leader of the Communist Party of China at this time, and the supreme decision-making power of the central government did not seem to be in his hands.

I am afraid that some leaders of the central government will be too optimistic and blindly give themselves orders that are contrary to their own plans, and that will be bad.

However, Xu Guoren couldn't say these words directly to Chen Zhiyuan, and seeing that the matter had come to this, he had to nod and say, "Then wait and see how the organization responds." ”
