Chapter 98 Ninety-One-Eight Erupts

At this time, the Northeast Army in Guannai, with the cooperation of the Central Army, had defeated and annihilated Shi Yousan's 100,000 army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of Shi Yousan's troops were annihilated and absorbed, and a few were evacuated to Shandong to be absorbed by Han Fuqu and other Shandong warlords, and Shi Yousan himself fled to Jinan and took refuge under Han Fuqu.

So as to escape the catastrophe, Zhang Xueliang was finally able to free his hands and think of Xu Guoren's rebel army.

Beiping, the official residence of the young marshal.

After quelling Shi Yousan's rebellion, Zhang Xueliang finally remembered Xu Guoren and his independent division.

"Adjutant Li, how are Xu Guoren and his team doing now?" Zhang Shaoshuai lit a cigarette, leaned back in his office chair, and asked his adjutant Li Yingyi for a long time.

"Back to the young marshal, as far as I know, Xu Guoren's department has now flowed to the territory of Rehe, and General Tang Yulin is leading his troops to encircle and suppress!" Li Yingyi hurriedly straightened up and replied.

"Tang Yulin? This Xu Guoren can really run! Zhang Xueliang was a little surprised: "Tang Erhu, can he clean up Xu Guoren?" ”

"Yes, it is said that in Chahar, he and his troops were almost made dumplings by Fu Zuoyi's department! Later, this guy forced his troops out of the encirclement! also defeated the blockade troops led by Fu Zuoyi in the Battle of Chicheng, and even General Fu Zuoyi fled!

Therefore, judging from his humble position, Tang Yulin will definitely not be able to keep Xu Guoren's troops! Li Yingyi said.

Because it was not so convenient to contact Rehe, Tang Yulin did not report the latest battle situation to Zhang Xueliang, the back commander in his eyes, in time.

Therefore, the information that Li Yingyi has is limited to the point where Xu Guoren and his troops have just escaped Fu Zuoyi's encirclement and interception and entered Rehe.

"Send a telegram to the remaining troops in Shenyang, and order Wang Yizhe to send an order to the troops of the Northeast Army stationed in the north of Rehe, asking them to take strict precautions to prevent the rebels under Xu Guoren from entering Liaoning, and if necessary, they can unite with Tang Yulin's 36th Division to annihilate them!" At this time, Zhang Xueliang no longer had illusions about Xu Guoren, after all, he was still kissing his brother Chairman Jiang at this time.

For Xu Guoren, who has openly defected to the Communist Party and become a Red Army, there is always a little love for talent.

In comparison, it is insignificant.

"Yes!" Li Yingyi hurriedly stood up and saluted, turned around and took the order.

After Wang Yizhe, who was far away in Shenyang, received Zhang Xueliang's order, he quickly sent a telegram to Du Jiwu, commander of the 18th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed in Daling River, conveying the order of the young marshal and asking him to send someone to inform the Northeast Army in the north of Rehe to carry out the order of the young marshal.

Du Jiwu called the commander of a regiment stationed in Tongliao and asked him to send cavalry liaison soldiers to Chifeng and other places to give orders.

It just so happened that the liaison troops sent by Tongliao happened to encounter an independent division marching towards Tongliao on the way.

It was also the luck of this group of liaison soldiers that they were the first to spot the open cavalry of the independent division and dodged early.

Then he quickly returned to Tongliao and reported to his regimental commander.

The commander of the Tongliao garrison was taken aback and hurriedly called the brigade commander Du Jiwu to report.

Du Jiwu was also taken aback, and after contacting Wang Yizhe, the two judged that Bacheng was Xu Guoren's rebel army, and they couldn't call the shots, so they immediately sent an urgent telegram to Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal who was far away in Beiping, asking for instructions.

Zhang Xueliang also didn't expect that Xu Guoren's troops would get rid of Tang Yulin's pursuit so quickly, and the troops approached Tongliao, pointing directly at his base camp Fengtian.

Taken aback, Xu Guoren quickly ordered the Ninth Brigade of He Zhuguo, stationed in Shanhaiguan, to immediately go north, and together with the two artillery regiments deployed along the railway in the western Liaoning corridor, return to the aid of Guanwai, and prepare to cooperate with Wang Yizhe, Du Jiwu and others to encircle and suppress Xu Guoren's headquarters, so as to ensure that his northeast base camp is not attacked.

The defense of Shanhaiguan was handled by Chen Guanqun's independent 14th Brigade.

Because Shanhaiguan and Beiping both had Japanese garrisons stationed in each section, Zhang Xueliang did not dare to transfer all the garrisons in the Shanhaiguan area.

After all, Shanhaiguan is an important channel for internal and external communication and the way home from the Northeast Military Customs.

As for the other Northeast Army, because they had just destroyed Shi Yousan, the situation in the Land of Youyan was unstable, and they still needed to leave more troops to maintain stability in North China.

Therefore, it is impossible to transfer more troops back to the pass.

Of course, from Zhang Xueliang's point of view, even though Xu Guoren has some ability, with the tens of thousands of elite troops left in Liaoning, provincial defense armies, militia groups, and He Zhuguo's 30,000 reinforcements along the way, it is enough to exterminate Xu Guoren.

Therefore, there is no need to send more and will not return to the customs area.

At this time, the main force of the Northeast Army entered the customs about 1670,000, and with the integration of the remnants of Shi Yousan, it would not exceed 180,000.

However, it is worth mentioning that these 167,000 are the most elite troops of the Northeast Army, and Zhang Xueliang's absolute descendants.

In addition, the Northeast Army probably still has less than 300,000 troops in various parts of the three eastern provinces outside the Guanwai, including a small number of remaining border guards (that is, the regular national defense army), a large number of provincial defense troops (second-line troops), security and reclamation troops, militia groups, etc.

Among them, most of the most elite independent infantry brigades are also stationed in Shenyang, Jinzhou, Dalinghe and other Liaoning provinces.

Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces are mainly some of Zhang Zuolin's old ministries and miscellaneous brands.

The elite has been emptied twice by Zhang Xueliang.

However, the independent brigade of the frontier army in Liaoning, except for Wang Yizhe's department stationed in Shenyang's Beidaying, was adapted from Zhang Xueliang's guards and was a first-class ace model unit of the Northeast Army.

The rest, such as the 18th Independent Brigade stationed in the Daling River area and the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade in Jinzhou, are slightly inferior to the 160,000 elites who entered the customs.

In addition to sending reinforcements back to help, Zhang Xueliang also appointed Wang Yizhe as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Bandit Suppression, commanding all the troops in Liaoning on his behalf and making every effort to encircle and suppress Xu Guoren's troops.

At this time, within the Northeast Army, there were also a large number of **** underground party intelligence officers.

Therefore, the news of the large-scale transfer of the Northeast Army naturally could not be concealed from Xu Guoren.

After receiving the support of accurate intelligence, Xu Guoren is like having clairvoyance and ears.

Almost before He Zhuguo's headquarters had completed the Liaoxi Corridor, Wang Yizhe, Du Jiwu and others were also deploying troops and preparing to meet them.

Xu Guoren got the above information, he calculated the time, at this time, it has entered September, less than 20 days before the September 18 incident, and the Japanese Kwantung Army must have begun to plan.

If at this time, Wang Yizhe, Du Jiwu and other troops are all mobilized in order to encircle and suppress themselves, it may lead to an even greater emptiness of troops in the Shenyang area.

However, after thinking about it, even if there was no such thing as encircling and suppressing himself, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Seventh Independent Brigade of Wang Yizhe's department would be put into storage and slaughtered by others because of Zhang Xueliang's non-resistance order, and in the end, they would still lose Beidaying and Shenyang.

Rather than doing this, it is better to mobilize them, as long as they are supported until the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, they can persuade Wang Yizhe, Du Jiwu and others to stop fighting and resist Japan with national righteousness, knowing them with affection and moving with reason.

They are all patriotic generals in history, and presumably none of them will sit idly by and watch their hometowns fall into the hands of the enemy.

Even if they were ordered by Zhang Xueliang and could not participate in the war, it was better than most of the weapons and equipment falling into the hands of the Japanese army, suffering heavy casualties, and cheapening the devils. After some consideration.

Xu Guoren decided not to run, but to continue to march into Tongliao under the banner of completely attracting Wang Yizhe and Du Jiwu and other elite troops of the Northeast Army.

Perhaps, after the Seventh Independent Brigade leaves Shenyang, the Japanese Kwantung Army will launch an attack in advance when it sees that the garrison of the Northeast Army is empty.

In that case, it would be more advantageous for independent divisions, and they would not have to deal with the Northeast Army for so long.
