Chapter 53 Claim to Fame

Several soldiers of the 359th Regiment panicked and fled to a dirt slope, and just after crossing the dirt slope, they found that there was a small lake in front of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, several soldiers of the security regiment who pursued them appeared on the dirt slope behind them, and when they scolded the other party to stop fleeing and surrender to no avail, they decisively raised their guns and shot several people in the water one by one.

Soon, several Jin Sui soldiers were dead on the water, and the somewhat muddy lake water that they waded in was gradually stained red with blood.

Without giving a second look, several of the soldiers of the security regiment turned around and went after the other enemies.

Under the pursuit of the entire security regiment, the soldiers of the 359th Regiment, who had lost their effective unified command, fled in all directions, and were scattered all over the mountains.

Countless people were wounded and killed by the soldiers of the security regiment who were chasing after them in the process of escaping.

The screams of the Jin Sui army, the roar of the security regiment during the pursuit, the continuous gunshots, and the explosions that rang out from time to time resounded throughout the battlefield.

About an hour later, the smoke cleared, and the battle finally ended with a resounding victory for Xu Guoren's security team.

After two great victories in a row, the officers and men of the security regiment were very excited, and they were full of energy and enthusiasm and began to be busy cleaning up the battlefield, escorting prisoners, and collecting weapons and ammunition and other trophies.

Guo Hu ran over panting and said to Xu Guoren: "Regiment leader, run away, according to the prisoner's confession, Ding Damao, the head of the 359th Regiment, ran away." ”

Xu Guoren turned over and dismounted, wiped the blood stains on the iron broadsword, and said disapprerovingly: "Let's run away, but in this battle, we are still inexperienced, if we send a roundabout force to outflank the enemy earlier, maybe it will be a complete annihilation battle, and Ding Damao's cowardice will not escape!" ”

Xu Guoren's tone changed and said: "However, we don't have to be discouraged, these two battles can be fought like this, the soldiers have performed very well, my command is insufficient, I will also learn from experience, and constantly improve my command ability." ”

Guo Hu nodded and asked, "Commander, what should we do next?" Did you take the opportunity to fight back to Binh Duong? ”

Xu Guoren shook his head and said: "Don't worry for the time being, after today's two battles, we have won two battles in a row and achieved an unprecedented victory, it's time to accept it when it is good, first move to a safe place, see how the situation develops, and then make the next plan." ”

So, Xu Guoren took his troops, loaded with all kinds of booty, and carried nearly a thousand prisoners captured from the two battles, out of the first line, and continued to move along the mountains to the northwest.

Within one day, Xu Guoren successively defeated and annihilated one regiment of the Jin Sui Army and one regiment of the Northwest Army, and captured Zhou Shibin, the commander of the 208th Regiment of the Northwest Army, as soon as the news came out, the entire provincial capital was suddenly in shock.

It happened that Yu Xuezhong, then commander of the First Army of the Northeast Army and commander of the Tianjin garrison, accompanied Wang Shuchang, then commander of the Second Army of the Northeast Army and the new chairman of Hebei Province, to Baoding, the provincial capital, and inspected the local area by the way.

When the two heard the news, they were also surprised.

After some understanding, Yu Xuezhong and Wang Shuchangdou became interested in Xu Guoren, a rebel leader born in mud legs. So they sent people to investigate Xu Guoren in depth, and after basically figuring out the ins and outs of the Pingyang Incident, they went to Beiping in person because of Xuezhong and met the young marshal Zhang Xueliang.

Yu Xuezhong is eleven years older than Zhang Xueliang, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties of the Fengjun army, and he is quite talented and loyal, so he is deeply respected by the young marshal Zhang Xueliang.

In this Central Plains War, the young marshal supported the Nanjing Nationalist Government under Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and the 100,000 elites of the two armies led by him were led by Xuezhong and Wang Shuchang, which shows the degree of trust and importance for the two of them.

"Brother Xiaohou, didn't you accompany Brother Tingwu to Hebei for inspection? Why are you in a hurry to come back suddenly, is there something urgent? After Zhang Shaoshuai got the report, he hurriedly dressed up and met Yu Xuezhong in the study.

Filial piety is Yu Xuezhong's expression, and Tingwu is Wang Shuchang's expression.

Although Zhang Xueliang called himself a brother, Yu Xuezhong didn't dare to trust him because of this, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Young marshal, Xiaohou is coming back this time, and he really has something important to report to you!" ”

Zhang Xueliang beckoned Yu Xuezhong to sit on the sofa, and at the same time instructed his chief of guard, Li Yingyi: "Go and pour a cup of tea for Brother Xiaohou!" (Note, Li Yingyi is indeed a person in history, graduated from the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, excellent in character and learning, was appointed as the chief of the guard of the young marshal, and later in the Xi'an Incident with the guards to arrest Jiang Zhongzheng It was he who was the one who was arrested, and then the young marshal was placed under house arrest, and then the young marshal was placed under house arrest regardless of his personal safety, and he was under house arrest with Jiang Zhongzheng with General Zhang Xueliang and others.)

Until the 38th year of the Republic of China, he and the famous anti-Japanese general General Huang Xiansheng were jointly killed in Buyunqiao, outside the Bai Mansion in Chongqing, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. ）

"Yes!" Li Yingyi happily stepped forward to agree, turned around and left.

It didn't take long for him to bring two cups of hot tea, and then he went to wait outside the study.

After sitting down, Zhang Xueliang asked Yu Xuezhong: "Brother Xiaohou has something to report to me?" ”

"That's right, there is a small place called Binh Duong Some time ago, there was an incident in which the head of the security regiment killed the county magistrate and provincial officials." Yu Xuezhong immediately briefly reported the ins and outs of the matter to Zhang Xueliang.

After listening, Zhang Xueliang's eyes tightened and said: "You mean, this unknown kid, who is less than twenty years old, single-handedly wiped out the three regiments of the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army one after another?" ”

Yu Xuezhong nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, including a main infantry regiment in Chifeng City of the Northwest Army, its commander Zhou Shibin should have either been captured alive or killed in the first line!" ”

"Especially for men, according to the investigation of the lowly position, although this person is young, but he is still loyal and righteous, and he once encountered Japanese ronins bullying female compatriots on the street, but instead he took action, thus offending the Japanese and almost losing his life.

As for the Pingyang incident, it was completely caused by the county magistrate surnamed Wu and others who wanted to conspire to seize military power, and Xu Guoren wanted to protect himself. ”

Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, his father was killed by a Japanese conspiracy, and he naturally did not have a good impression of the Japanese.

Therefore, judging from the data, this Xu Guoren was born clean, righteous, and showed extraordinary military command talent at a young age, which is worth attracting and cultivating.

Of course, Zhang Xueliang and Yu Xuezhong did not simply look at Xu Guoren's military talent, they were both battle-hardened people, and Xu Guoren's small victory was nothing in their eyes.

The reason why Yu Xuezhong will pay attention to Xu Guoren is mainly because of the situation in North China at this time.

Two years ago, the Northeast Army changed its banner to support the Nationalist Government, and this year it has supported Chairman Chiang to support Pingjin, and has incorporated Song Zheyuan and other units of the Northwest Army.

Chairman Chiang even appointed Zhang Xueliang as deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, army, and air force, and nominally, Zhang Xueliang became the most powerful and powerful figure in the Nationalist Government today.

has become a veritable king of North China and Northeast China, but Zhang Xueliang also understands that all over North China, warlords of all sizes are everywhere, all of them have strange intentions, give in on the surface, and secretly make small moves.

Zhang Xueliang only brought 100,000 troops with him this time, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Army were still stationed in the three eastern provinces to guard against the Soviet Union and Japan.

With these 100,000 men alone, it is more than enough to control the passes of the Great Wall such as Pingjin and Hebeibei, but it is far from enough to actually control the whole of North China.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang naturally needed to support and win over some forces to help him restrain the Jin Sui Army and the Northwest Army.

And at this time, Xu Guoren, who was born out of nowhere, naturally entered Yu Xuezhong's vision,

In Yu Xuezhong's view, Xu Guoren's conditions in all aspects are in line with the interests of their Northeast Army, and supporting and cultivating him will benefit the Northeast Army without harm, so he will immediately return to Beiping and face Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang, who has been immersed in the military and politics for many years, can naturally see this, so after muttering for a while, he said to Xuezhong: "Brother Xiaohou, in my name, I instruct the Hebei Provincial Government to immediately stop the encirclement and crusade against Xu Guoren's department, and send a commissioner to contact Xu Guoren's department, and you should know what to do for the rest!" ”

Yu Xuezhong immediately got up with a happy face and said: "Yes, please rest assured, the young marshal will do his best to do a good job in this matter!" ”
