Chapter 93: Rehe

After Xu Guoren led his troops to escape from Fu Zuoyi's encirclement, he crossed the Yanshan and Yinshan remnants, crossed the Great Wall, and entered the territory of Rehe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Rehe was nominally the territory of the Northeast Army, but in fact, it was controlled by Tang Yulin, who was originally from the Northeast Army.

As everyone knows, Tang Yulin, a veteran of the Feng warlord and Zhang Zuolin's brother, was in charge of a 36th division, which had three infantry brigades, one regiment of cavalry and one artillery regiment, one battalion of engineers and one battalion of baggage, about 15,000 people.

In addition to these, there are also two irregular army teams, one is the provincial security cavalry brigade, more than 2,000 people, and the other is the provincial chairman's special team, about 1,000 people, all of which are completely under Tang Yulin's orders.

At this time, Rehe, because Tang Yulin was the first to accept the recruitment and reorganization of the Nanjing Nationalist Government and was appointed as the chairman of the Nationalist Party Rehe Province than Zhang Xueliang, so it was actually in a state of "independence", and the army was also separated from the Northeast Army.

It's just that Zhang Xueliang later changed his banner and became a powerful figure second only to Chairman Jiang, because he has a deep relationship with the Northeast Army, and Zhang is the supreme commander of North China, Northeast China and other places, so Tang Yulin is superficially subordinate to Zhang Xueliang, a junior.

In addition to the above-mentioned Tang Yulin's descendants, two cavalry brigades and one infantry brigade of the Northeast Army were stationed in the northern part of the Rehe River bordering Liaoning.

They are more than 5,000 people in the 17th and 19th Separate Cavalry Brigades of the Northeast Frontier Army, and more than 6,000 people in the 22nd Independent Infantry Brigade. These troops, numbering about 11,100 people, were directly under Zhang Xueliang's orders.

To sum up, at this time, there were about 30,000 regular and irregular troops in Rehe.

In Xu Guoren's department, as soon as he entered the territory of Rehe, Tang Yulin received a telegram from Nanjing and Zhang Xueliang.

Fu Zuoyi failed to take Xu Guoren, which made Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, Zhang Xueliang in Beiping and others very surprised, especially Chairman Chiang, who felt that Xu Guoren's Red Army was different and that they must not be allowed to escape again, otherwise they would likely become a big trouble in the north.

Therefore, in the telegram sent to Tang Yulin again, Chairman Chiang very solemnly ordered him to command all the troops in Rehe and make every effort to encircle and suppress Xu Guoren's troops.

Because, at this time, the elite of the Northeast Army were busy fighting with Shi Yousan, so they could not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Xu Guoren's department.

Chengde, in the office of the provincial chairman.

Tang Yulin sat behind a desk, crossed Erlang's legs, and held a cigar in his mouth, like a landlord and old wealth, the office was full of smoke, and the smoked guy couldn't open his eyes.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Tang Yulin waved his hand, trying to disperse the smoke around him, but he was still choking and coughing: "Damn, adjutant, open the window, I'm going to choke Lao Tzu to death!" ”

The adjutant hurriedly walked over and opened the two windows one by one.

Tang Yulin squinted his eyes and asked, "You say, this Xu Guoren, is Lao Tzu suppressing or not?" ”

The adjutant analyzed: "It stands to reason that Fu Zuoyi's troops at hand are not less than ours, but he failed to destroy this independent division. Humble thinks, will it be Fu Zuoyi who wants us to compete with the clam and the clam and he is a good fisherman.

When we and the independent division are defeated, he will take the opportunity to occupy the Rehe River! Now Fu Zuoyi has occupied most of Zhangjiakou and Chahar in the name of suppressing bandits, and the next step is likely to set his sights on our Rehe! ”

Since Zhang Zuolin named Tang Yulin as the commander of Rehe, over the years, he Tang Yulin has been the emperor of Rehe, and after Zhang Zuolin's death, no one can restrain him.

He has always regarded Rehe as his own territory, so he suddenly said angrily: "****** bazi, Rehe belongs to Lao Tzu, no one wants to snatch him!" ”

"However, Xu Guoren, this kid, can break out of the encirclement under the attack of Xiao Liuzi and Yan Laoxi from both sides, occupy Baoding first, and then seize Zhangjiakou, which shows that he does have a certain ability and cannot be underestimated!" Tang Yulin frowned and pondered: "Now that this kid has been driven into Rehe by Fu Zuoyi, I also think that I can't be at the mercy of others, they let Lao Tzu send troops, and Lao Tzu will send troops?" Lao Tzu didn't fulfill their wishes! ”

The adjutant said: "However, if we don't obey the orders of Nanjing, we are likely to be charged with disobedience." ”

Tang Yulin said schemingly: "Oh, you don't understand this, there are policies and countermeasures, as long as Lao Tzu has a gun in his hand, the position of chairman of Rehe Province will not be able to run!" Now Lao Jiang is busy suppressing the Communist Party, but he can't take care of the north, and it's too late to win over Lao Tzu, how can he blame me!

As for Xiao Liuzi, he didn't dare to do anything to me, an uncle, Lao Tzu had saved him Lao Tzu and the entire Northeast Army more than once! If he dares to do something to me, God will have to split him!

Now the top priority is for us to figure out what is the purpose of this Xu Guoren, whether he plans to enter Rehe and stay on Lao Tzu's territory, or is he just passing by, if it is the former, then Lao Tzu can't tolerate him anything, how can he let others snore under the couch?

If it's just borrowing the way, then you have to give Lao Tzu some benefits to the toll, otherwise, where will it come from, where will it go! ”

After Tang Yulin finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered: "Go, send someone to get in touch with the independent division and probe their tone." ”

……

Xu Guoren and Chen Zhiyuan led their troops until they reached the boundary of Fengning County before stopping.

After arranging the guard sentry, Xu Guoren came to the grove where the troops were resting, and took water to eat dry food to satisfy his hunger.

"Old Chen, how is it? You okay? Xu Guoren was eating, and saw Chen Zhiyuan walking over with a somewhat pale face.

Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm sick, I have a stomachache." ”

As he spoke, he came to Xu Guoren's side and squatted down.

Xu Guoren handed him half a steamed bun and said, "Eat something, let's pad, it's not so uncomfortable." ”

Chen Zhiyuan took it, took a bite, and then said to Xu Guoren with guilt and self-blame: "Guoren, I just got the exact information about the organization, Fu Zuoyi has indeed deployed several roundabout troops, wanting to annihilate us in Chahar in one fell swoop, if it weren't for your quick reaction and their occupation of Chicheng, then our independent division would really be doomed." ”

"Now it seems that your idea is still wise, I should not insist on staying in Zhangjiakou and developing a revolutionary base area, as you said, Chahar is flat and surrounded by enemies, which is really not suitable for us to carry out revolutionary work!" Chen Zhiyuan said: "I will review it with the organization, after all, the organization will approve my request because of my too blind report, and ask us to develop the base area on the spot." ”

After speaking, he said meaningfully to Xu Guoren: "Guoren, I'm sorry, my insistence on going my own way almost ruined our team that was finally pulled up." Chen Zhiyuan can be said to have watched Xu Guoren step by step, with great difficulty.

It was not easy to have today's achievements, but because of himself, he was almost buried in one fell swoop.

Therefore, at this time, I sincerely want to apologize to Xu Guoren.

Xu Guoren stuffed a mouthful of dry food into his mouth, drank two more sips of water, swallowed most of it: "Old Chen, what you said is too foreign, people are not saints and sages, and now we are not out of danger!" ”

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Xu Guoren gratefully: "In the future, you can rest assured, I will only take care of political ideology and life, military affairs, as long as I do not violate the principles of the organization, I will go all out to support you, and you will fight whatever you say!" ”

Xu Guoren smiled: "Hehe, it's nothing, let's discuss." ”

Of course, Xu Guoren is polite, because Chen Zhiyuan is a good hand at intelligence and political work, but when it comes to this march and war, he is really inferior to himself.

Therefore, he can be honest, and Xu Guoren is very happy.

At least, Xu Guoren does not have to have any psychological pressure and constraints in future military operations, only in this way can he fight every battle without restraint and go all out to fight every battle and take every step well.
