Chapter 272: Return to Beiman
Beiping City, Young Marshal's Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the all-out rescue of many Chinese and foreign doctors, Zhang Shaoshuai finally woke up after being in a coma for nearly half a month.
The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to ask how the war was going outside the border.
Miss Zhao Si, who had been guarding the side, and Adjutant Chen Dazhang lowered their heads with embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Shaoshuai knew that something was wrong, and immediately said in an aggravated tone: "Dazhang, tell me quickly, what is the situation?" ”
"Han Qing, let me tell you." Zhao Si sitting on the edge of his bed? Pig? Pig? Island? Miss Novel said and glanced at Chen Dazhang.
Chen Dazhang nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
After Chen Dazhang left, Miss Zhao Si tactfully told Zhang Shaoshuai about the progress of the battle outside the Guanwai.
Seeing that after he listened, his face was pale and silent, Miss Zhao Si was worried in her heart, and hurriedly relieved: "Han Qing, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers since ancient times, and besides, the customs have been recovered, it is a good thing for the country and the nation, it is better than falling into the hands of the Japanese, right?" ”
Zhang Shaoshuai's knot has been planted, of course, it can't be resolved by Miss Zhao Si in a few words.
His face was as pale as white paper, and from time to time he opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of red blood again.
The body lost its support like a broken chair and collapsed.
Miss Zhao Si was shocked, and hurriedly tried her best to help, and shouted urgently: "Han Qing! Hanqing! What happened to you? ”
Seeing that Zhang Shaoshuai fainted again, Miss Zhao Si turned her head and shouted urgently: "Adjutant Chen, Adjutant Chen, come and ......."
The young marshal's mansion once again fell into panic and gloom and sadness.
At the same time, the city of Beiping outside the province has become a sea of joy.
The huge city of Beiping is full of jubilant people, including young students, ordinary citizens, businessmen and other people from all walks of life.
There are men and women, old and young, who almost get carried away and take to the streets to celebrate.
Naturally, because Zhang Xinghan led the Northeast Army to recover the lost territory outside the Guan, even the Lushun fortress, which had been seized by Japan and Russia for a long time, was successfully recaptured.
Such a scene of celebration is not unique to Beiping City. Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Cangzhou, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Jinan, Xuzhou, Luoyang, Xi'an, Nanjing. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Changsha, Chongqing and hundreds of other large and medium-sized cities have seen celebrations of varying scales.
After the recovery of Liao, the whole country celebrated, and countless people took to the streets with banners of long live the Northeast New Army and long live General Zhang Xinghan, shouting with emotion.
Some patriots with a strong sense of justice even hugged their heads and cried excitedly, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty. So far, it has been weakened and repeatedly invaded and humiliated by foreign enemies, and all the customs outside the border have been recovered.
really raised China's national prestige and breathed a fierce sigh.
It is somewhat similar to the scene in Beiping City. The main streets of Nanjing City are full of people who are celebrating on the streets.
Sitting in the office, Chairman Jiang could almost hear the shouts of the people outside.
This is still Jiang Gong's mansion, and the vicinity has long been surrounded by three layers of guards and three layers outside.
Chairman Jiang frowned. His expression seemed to be a little displeased, and Dai Li, who was standing on the side, observed his words and said, "Take a seat." The people of this capital are too presumptuous, and they have gathered such a large number of people, have we mobilized the gendarmes and city defense forces to disperse them? Just in case of an accident? ”
Chairman Jiang got up and walked to the window, looked outside and pondered for a while, then turned around and sighed: "I'm afraid this situation is not unique to this Nanjing City, right?" ”
Dai Li hurriedly bowed his head: "Yes, according to intelligence, large and medium-sized cities, including Shanghai, Pingjin, Hangzhou and other large and medium-sized cities, are staging rallies and celebrations of different scales. ”
"It is indeed a rare happy event to recover all the outside of the border, forget it, let the people forget to cheer this time." Chairman Chiang seemed to muttered to himself.
Dai Li suddenly said hurriedly: "But, in this way, isn't Zhang Xinghan's reputation going to rise to a point where there is nothing to add?" ”
Although Dai Li did not explain the latter words, it was immediately clear who Jiang Gong was.
"The people's heart is a double-edged sword, if we forcibly disperse the people who are repressive and celebrating.
That would only backfire, and it might be cheaper for others.
Instead of this, it is better to push the boat down the river and let the people understand that the Northeast New Army is the border army of the Nationalist Government, and Zhang Xinghan is also a general of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. Jiang Gong said meaningfully.
Dai Li tasted the product carefully, and suddenly realized when he landed, and said in his heart, the commission is the commission, and it is really extraordinary.
In this way, it not only won the hearts of the people, but also took advantage of the achievements of the Northeast New Army to enhance the people's recognition and goodwill towards the Nanjing Nationalist Government.
It can be said that it is not unwise to be able to control Zhang Xinghan and his new army in the Northeast.
"The principal is wise, and Yu Nong admires him very much. Dai Li hurriedly lowered his head and patted his ass.
Jiang Gongwei smiled and said to Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard on the side, "Shihe, plan electricity." ”
Wang Shihe hurriedly took out the pen and notebook, and prepared respectfully.
"The battle of South Manchuria, all to learn, can get full merit, because of the Xinghan command well, the three armies of the soldiers to fight for their lives, I have very little heart.
Zhang Xinghan is hereby ordered to be the new commander of the frontier defense of the three northeastern provinces, and his military rank will be promoted to that of second-class general, Jiang Baili will be the chief of the general staff, and the rank of lieutenant general and general will be held.
Brother Wang and others will continue to carry forward the spirit of serving the country by killing their lives, and make new contributions to the party and the country and the nation. ”
……………………
In Dalian City, the battle situation in North Manchurian was urgent, and Zhang Xinghan only left a day of rest for the main forces before ordering them to assemble urgently and prepare to go north for reinforcements.
After careful discussion with Jiang Baili and others, Zhang Xinghan decided to leave the 3rd and 4th Independent Divisions on the Liaodong Peninsula and Jinzhou.
At the same time, the two divisions were given the authority to recruit new recruits on their own and to form police gendarmerie units to assist in the administration of the localities.
The troops were assembled, and Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Jiang Baili and others, ascended to the high platform.
Prepare to make a pre-departure mobilization and speech.
"Brothers, in the battle of South Manchuria, we won a complete victory, completely recovering all the lost territories in our three northeastern provinces.
I know that the officers and men of all units are tired and want you to rest.
However, Lao Maozi didn't let us get what we wanted, and when our main force was heading south, he gathered heavy troops to invade our North Manchurian territory again.
They encroach on our land. Burning down our houses and killing my comrades-in-arms, my wife, sons, and daughters is no different from that of the Japanese.
How can we, as a soldier, especially a soldier in the Northeast, sit idly by and not save us? Zhang Xing's Chinese characters are loud and loud.
Chief of Staff Jiang Baili raised his arms at the right time and shouted: "Expelle the Tartars and defend the country!" ”
"Expelle the Tartars and defend the country!"
"Expelle the Tartars and defend the country!"
"Expelling the Tartars. Defend the country! ”
Tens of thousands of new officers and men from Northeast China present raised their guns one after another in response, and their voices were neat and loud, deafening, and inspiring.
After a short time, seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and ordered the troops to set off one after another.
The troops needed to march thousands of miles, and Zhang Xinghan could reach North Manchuria in a few hours by plane.
So, he was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he returned to the headquarters with Jiang Baili and others.
"Chief of Staff, I will first go back to North Manchuria to command the fight against the Soviet army, and I will entrust you with a lot of aftermath matters in South Manchuria." Zhang Xinghan said to Jiang Baili.
"Please rest assured, Commander, Baili will definitely live up to the trust." Jiang Baili said.
"Oh. By the way, the chief of staff said earlier that there is a shortage of food, food prices are skyrocketing, and the daily lives of the people have been affected by the war. Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "Right now." However, I have a solution that cannot be found to temporarily alleviate this food crisis in order to maintain stability in the South Manchurian region. ”
"I wonder if there is any good way to do it?" Jiang Baili asked curiously.
Zhang Xinghan pointed to the map: "Across the Yalu River, money and grain can be taken from this Korean Peninsula." ”
"What do you mean, Commander?" Jiang Baili was a little surprised.
"The main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army was basically wiped out by us. As far as I know, the number of troops left on the Korean Peninsula is about one division, and it is obviously unrealistic for a division to hold a Korean Peninsula.
Actually, we are continuing to recuperate at the moment, so I don't mean to send troops to seize the Korean Peninsula.
The chief of staff only needs to send one or two armored units deep into the territory of the peninsula and collect more money and food to come back, anyway, if we don't take this money and food, it will be cheaper for little Japan.
As for the lives and deaths of others on the peninsula, that's not something we need to worry about.
Your main focus should also be on seizing the time to rest and recruiting new soldiers, in case the Japanese will not die and will attack again.
As for the use of troops on the Korean Peninsula and other places, we can wait until we have repelled Lao Maozi, stabilized the border defense, and expanded our strength again before making plans. Zhang Xinghan explained in detail.
Jiang Baili nodded after hearing this: "Baili understands, in addition, I think we can also buy food from the customs to relieve the food shortage outside the customs." ”
"Well, this can be there." Zhang Xinghan knew that he was really not short of money now, but he was short of food, especially the hard currency comparable to gold during the war.
At this time, Guo Zhongxing walked in in a hurry, still holding a telegram in his left hand.
With his right hand, he saluted Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and said, "Commander, chief of staff, call from Nanjing." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili glanced at each other, then waved their hands to Guo Zhong and said, "Hurry up, let's see what kind of commendation message Chairman Jiang has sent us." ”
Guo Zhong immediately held the message in both hands and quickly read it out.
After listening to this, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili smiled at each other and said in their hearts: This Chairman Jiang is worthy of being a good hand at playing politics, but he has also given a lot of substantial benefits.
"Chief of Staff, please report the strength of our Northeast Frontier Army as soon as possible, remember to report more, so that it is convenient to ask for more numbers."
"Commander, please rest assured, Baili understands." Jiang Baili said with a smile.
Zhang Xinghan nodded, and asked Guo Zhongdao again: "Zhongzi, how is the airport repaired?" ”
"Returning to the commander, the airport has been repaired, and the air force said that the transport flight group has taken off and is coming." Guo Zhong replied respectfully.
"Okay, hurry up and inform the 1st Regiment, as soon as the plane arrives, board the plane immediately, and after arriving in Qiqihar, immediately go to Hulunbuir to support the front line." Zhang Xinghan instructed.
Guo Zhong took the order, and Jiang Baili said: "Commander, since we have air force transport planes to transport troops, why don't we let all the troops go by air so that we can rush to the front line as soon as possible?" ”
Zhang Xinghan smiled helplessly: "Chief of Staff, you don't know about this, our current transport aircraft are still extremely limited in terms of quality and quantity, and transporting an infantry regiment plus my guard battalion is already the limit."
If you have more, it will take you as fast as you can travel by train or car. ”
"Oh." Jiang Baili said with emotion: "It seems that we have to buy more transport planes." ”
"This is natural, and I believe that in the near future, the transport capacity of our Air Force will be greatly improved." Zhang Xinghan said very firmly.
……………………
The battlefield of Hailar (now Hulunbuir).
Since a few days ago, the 1st Independent Division of the Northeast New Army withdrew from Manchuria under the support of the 5th Division.
After the Soviet army occupied Manchuria, they pursued it with all their might, and at the same time, Liu Guodong also led the main force of the Fifth Division and a large number of local police and militia units to reinforce Hailar.
Hailar was already the last barrier for the Northeast New Army to defend the hinterland of Jilin, and it was also the last barrier for the Soviet army to enter the country.
It is extremely important for both sides.
Therefore, the two sides launched a large-scale battle in Hailar.
After getting that South Manchuria had all been recovered, and reinforcements were coming, Liu Guodong, Wu Chengfeng and others had greatly increased their confidence, although their troops were at a disadvantage.
But he was not afraid and commanded his soldiers to resist desperately.
