Chapter 70 The Raid of Changchun
After He Lizhong of the First Brigade occupied Changchun, he sent troops to assist the staff of the Fengtian Military Government in carrying out their tasks, and was temporarily stationed in Changchun and did not leave.
In fact, the land of Changchun is not a place to stay for a long time, and the 19th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Korea is heading for Jilin.
However, the Mukden anti-Japanese military government is now facing tremendous difficulties, and the large-scale evacuation requires a large amount of materials and food supplies, and it will not let go of Changchun's property, grain and other materials, and will inevitably loot them on a large scale.
Brigadier He Lizhong will not worry about these things, he has his own military government personnel to deal with them, he only needs to ensure safety and assist in the work.
The sudden arrival of the Fengtian Volunteer Army in Changchun made Zhang Zuozhou, the 25th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army, overjoyed, and quickly approached after eliminating the remnants of the Japanese army blocking the west.
"Hey, Lao He, your Seventh Brigade is really a big savior, and it came in time."
"Hehe, Brigade Commander Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. There's nothing to lose these days, right? ”
"The losses are not big, but I have fought with the third brigade of the Japanese army, and I have not taken advantage of it."
Chen Hongcang, the former commander of the Third Cavalry Brigade, said with a smile next to him: "Brigade Commander Zhang, this is not what it used to be, now Commander He is already the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Fengtian Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, as tall as you, hehe." ”
Of course, Zhang Zuozhou didn't know the inside story, how could He Lizhong, the deputy of the brigade and a regiment commander of the Seventh Brigade, suddenly become a brigade, and this change could not but cause Zhang Zuozhou's strangeness.
"Lao He, what's going on? I haven't heard that there has been a change in the structure of the Northeast Army, when was this brigade commander promoted, and I didn't hear any movement? Besides, where is that awesome Wang Yizhe, won't he also be promoted? ”
"Who? Who was promoted? ”
Yes, before He Lizhong could answer, Feng Zhanhai, who had just entered the door, shouted.
Feng Zhanhai was the head of the Northeast Frontier Army Guard Regiment, fought side by side with Zhang Zuozhou, and had just fought against the Japanese army.
Brigadier He Lizhong welcomed Feng Zhanhai in, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then introduced the two of them to the events that happened on the night of the September 18 Incident and the combat experience of these days.
He Lizhong's introduction stunned the two, the Seventh Brigade did such a vigorous thing, it was not Brigade Commander Wang Yizhe who did it.
And Fengtian has achieved such an achievement because of the playboy Fengtian Fengtian, can you not be surprised by these two?
Fengtian's daimyo, the two of them know a little bit, Zhang Shusen's brother-in-law of the Third Independent Brigade of the Cavalry, in order to find a wife, is it so lively in Fengtian, can these brigade commanders not know about this kind of farce?
"The Seventh Brigade in the hands of Feng Tian, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, not only did not suffer from the War of Resistance against Japan, but continued to grow and develop, and Feng Tianzong Wizard was obvious to all.
According to the intention of Commander Feng, on the night of 918 and the subsequent war, the volunteers must completely annihilate the enemy in every battle, the purpose is to show Zhang Shaoshuai that there is nothing to fear about the Japanese army, and it is correct to drive the Japanese army out of the northeast. It's a pity that Zhang Shaomarshal in the Guannai is still spreading the rhetoric of non-resistance, and the northeast is in danger. ”
Yes, Feng Tian's intention is correct, the Kwantung Army's army is really not enough in front of the 300,000 Northeast Army, but unfortunately Zhang Shaomarshal ignored it.
The troops stationed outside the Guanguan are also paying close attention to the situation in the Guanguan and keeping abreast of every move in the Guannei, at least for the time being, there is no hope.
Zhang Zuozhou asked: "Hey, Zhang Shaoshuai is a missed opportunity." If the main force of the Northeast Army does not move, how will your volunteers deal with it next? ”
Brigadier He Lizhong smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, it's man-made, and Commander Feng didn't pin all his hopes on the pass.
Commander Feng had already had two plans, and on the night of the 918 incident, Commander Feng had already dealt with us.
If the Japanese troops stationed in Korea did not move, the Mukden Volunteers would sweep through the remnants of the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast and thwart their plot in one fell swoop. Or, the main force of the Northeast Army waved outside the pass, the army Chen Bing was on the banks of the Yalu River, and the three eastern provinces were safe. If the Japanese army really crossed the river to fight, and the Northeast Army still stood still, the army in the Guannai could not be counted on, and the volunteers had to make long-term plans. At that time, it will only be able to rely on itself, and the 7th Brigade will adhere to the basic principle of long-term resistance. ”
Feng Zhanhai asked: "What is the so-called long-term war of resistance and what kind of actions should be taken?" ”
"Commander Feng's intention is to make full use of our vast depth and slowly maneuver with the Japanese army, after all, it is difficult to compete head-on with the strength of Japan by relying on the strength of the Volunteer Army alone, and it is not the best policy to fight hard."
Zhang Zuozhou nodded and said: "Yes, the strength of the Volunteer Army is difficult to compete with the strength of Japan, and the use of in-depth resistance is the right way." ”
Now that the Volunteer Army is growing, Deputy Commander Zhang Shusen joined the Volunteer Army on the same day, and then the brigade commander Chang Jingwu also joined it. On behalf of Feng Tian, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteers, I formally invite the two of you to join the Volunteers to fight against the Japanese invasion together. ”
"Little Japan invaded the Northeast and rose up to resist it is the duty of our soldiers, and it is not impossible to join the Volunteer Army, I will consider it."
Zhang Zuozhou and He Lizhong are quite familiar, and he did not refuse He Lizhong's invitation, saying that he could consider whether to accept the leadership of the Fengtian Volunteer Army.
As for Feng Zhanhai, he still wanted to take another look.
After all, joining the Volunteer Army means cutting off from the Northeast Army, which is not a trivial matter. Besides, the Seventh Brigade can make achievements, and so does he Feng Zhanhai, and the Japanese devils don't have three heads and six arms.
In history, Zhang Zuozhou was led by Yang Bingzao, a regiment commander under him, to defect to the enemy, and Yucheng was lost and captured.
Now, Mr. Zhang's fate may change.
Because, before the First Brigade left, Feng Tian explained to He Lizhong, and this Yang Bingzao had to be guarded against. He Lizhong naturally wanted to convey this message to Zhang Zuozhou to prevent history from repeating itself.
It's just that now that people have not been exposed, Zhang Zuozhou has no reason to deal with him.
It doesn't matter, it's not impossible for Zhang Zuozhou to overthrow Yang Bingzao, just find a reason to transfer his army away and overhead him.
The situation in Changchun has changed because of the arrival of He Lizhong of the First Brigade, and there is a good side and a bad side.
Zhang Zuoxiang, chairman of Jilin Province and deputy commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, returned to Jinzhou for funeral because his father died, and all military affairs were represented by Xiqia, chief of staff and member of the provincial government.
Xiqia graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and the commander of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, Jiro Tamon, had a teacher-student relationship with Xiqia, and Xiqia had long been secretly in contact with the Japanese Kwantung Army, and he had already sent someone to meet the commander of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army with a letter on September 20, expressing his willingness to betray the country and surrender.
The Japanese in the northeast have been in business for too long, and there are still many people who defect to the enemy, and Long Yuntian knows these things.
