Chen Dazhang lowered his head helplessly, and the corners of his mouth smiled inadvertently.

Zhang Shaomari was really scared by Soviet Russia, and the shadow of the Eastern Railway incident has not yet disappeared from his heart.

At the same time, Chen Dazhang couldn't help but sweat for Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army, and the young marshal was right, the Soviets were not comparable to himself.

They were connected to the northeast by land, and the Trans-Siberian Railway went directly to the Far East, so it was more convenient to send troops than to himself.

Moscow, Kremlin.

"Leader, commander of the Far Eastern Army Vasily. Konstantinovich. Blyukhel sent an urgent military briefing. One of the SDL's guards reported to him respectfully.

"What's the matter?" SDL's tone revealed a palpitating majesty......

"The offensive launched by the Far Eastern Army in the direction of Manchuria and Aihui suffered failure, especially in the direction of Manchuria, where our attacking forces were besieged by the powerful tank and armored forces of the New Army in Northeast China, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

In his report, General Blyukhel said that the Northeast Forces have a very large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and that they are superior to our tanks in terms of firepower and mobility.

General Blyukhel asked for the immediate dispatch of tanks, planes and artillery to the Far East, otherwise we would not be able to win this crusade. The guard reported as if walking on thin ice.

"Order the General Staff Headquarters, the Logistics Department, to immediately draw up assistance to the Far Eastern Army, and it is necessary to ensure victory in this war in order to demonstrate to the Chinese the powerful force of our Soviet Red Army, and thus to ensure that our interests in the Far East are not violated in any way."

………………………… Manchuria.

Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Li Zhenyuan, Wu Chengfeng and others, took armored vehicles and tanks to the border line.

"Commander, more than 70 kilometers north from here is Borja." Li Zhenyuan pointed to Zhang Xinghan far ahead.

"Borja, Krasnoyarsk, and the Ulaanbaatar steppes were once and are all part of our Chinese territory." Zhang Xinghan sighed in the refreshing cool breeze.

"Commander, why don't we just use our armored forces to advance north and attack Krasnoyarsk?" Wu Chengfeng, commander of the 5th Division of Reading Power, said.

"No, the time is not yet ripe, we don't have the strength to start an all-out war with Lao Maozi, so we can only defend instead of attacking, as long as Lao Maozi takes the initiative to invade our land, then we are a patriotic war, and it is politically just." Zhang Xinghan shook his head and vetoed.

In fact, he still has something to say, that is, once he leads his army to take Krasnoyarsk, the largest city of Lao Maozi in the Far East, the war situation between the two sides will immediately escalate to a terrible level.

At that time, the embarrassed and angry Russians are very likely to attack the northeast with all their strength, which Zhang Xinghan does not want to see at the moment.

As long as the Northeast New Army does not cross the current border line, it will be able to promote peace and force Lao Maozi to sit down at the negotiating table.

"Let's go, go back to Manchuria." Zhang Xinghan put down the binoculars and turned around and walked back.

Li Zhenyuan, Wu Chengfeng and others hurriedly followed, and soon they got on two armored vehicles, when the tanks and armored vehicles started to turn around.

It took about a few hundred foot soldiers who were on guard within a radius of several miles to collect their troops and return to Manchuria in military trucks.

Riding in an armored car along the line of the Eastern Eastern Railway, Zhang Xinghan and his party returned to the vicinity of the Manzhouli Railway Station.

Along the way, there were new officers and soldiers from Northeast China who were digging and building defensive positions and thousands of Manchurian laborers.

It was the height of summer, and the land in Manchuria at this time was soft, and it was much easier to dig the fortifications than in the cold and freezing winter.

In less than a few days, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 5th and 8th Divisions built several fortifications with the help of local people.

The next time is to strengthen and improve.

Returning to the temporary headquarters in the center of Manzhouli, an agent of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the headquarters quietly came to Zhang Xinghan's temporary residence.

"Commander, on the Eastern Front, our army has stabilized the Aihui defensive line, and the Russians have retreated to the east bank of the Heilongjiang River."

"Oh." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Tell the chief of staff to send a telegram to the commanders of all divisions on the front line, don't be careless, the Russians will never give up at the moment, and they must be ready to fight a big war." ”

"Yes!" The agent bowed his head in response, and quickly turned to leave.

…………………… At the same time that Zhang Xinghan led his troops to the border to resist Russia, he had already moved outside the gate of Zhang's house in Jilin City.

A military jeep sped up, and as soon as the car stopped, Zhang Xinghua, who was wearing a flight suit, jumped down from it and hurried towards the courtyard.

When Zhang Xinghua came to the inner courtyard, he saw his father Zhang Yuxi and mother Liu Liping waiting anxiously in the courtyard with Zhang Xinghan's two godsons.

Father Zhang Yuxi kept pacing back and forth, and the dry tobacco stick in his hand took two puffs from time to time.

"Dad, mother, Hanyun, how is she?" Zhang Xinghua hurriedly asked.

Seeing his son come back, the second elder didn't have time to answer, only to hear Su Hanyun's heart-rending shouts suddenly sounding in the room.

"Han Yun!" Zhang Xinghua was in a hurry when he heard the sound, and he was about to push the door into the house.

Zhang Yuxi stopped him: "Don't go in, your sister-in-law Zhou and your sister-in-law Ruoying and the midwife are here, you can only make trouble if you go in now." ”

It turned out that Su Hanyun was already pregnant for nine months, and when it was time to give birth, there were signs of red in the morning, but Zhang Xinghua was ordered to fly the fighter plane to work.

Su Hanyun in the house let out distressing cries from time to time, Zhang Xinghua was extremely nervous, he never smoked, he also took a dry tobacco stick from his father, but he was choked without two puffs.

Just as he was almost impatient, a loud cry was heard in the room.

Soon, the door was pushed open, Wang Ruoying's forehead was overflowing with sweat, and she said to Zhang Xinghua and Zhang Yuxi with an excited face: "Xinghua, father, mother, brother and sister, she gave birth to a big fat boy!" ”

Zhang Yuxi and his wife immediately smiled when they heard this, Zhang Xinghua was excited and did not forget to say with concern: "Sister-in-law, Hanyun, is she okay?" ”

"It's okay, mother and son are safe." Wang Ruoying said with a smile.

"I can go in now, right?" Zhang Xinghua asked impatiently.

"Well, hurry up and go in, Hanyun has worked hard." Wang Ruoying smiled and nodded, turning sideways to give way.

Zhang Xinghua hurriedly ran in.

…………………… In Manchuria, Liu Guodong, commander of the 5th Division of Reading Force, came to Zhang Xinghan's residence in a hurry, stood up and saluted and shouted: "Report." ”

"Gordon? In. ”

Liu Guodong walked in with a smile and said, "Commander, I have good news for you." ”

"What's the good news?" Zhang Xinghan disagreed.

"Your brother-in-law gave birth to a son, the mother and son are safe, and I just received a happy message from Director Huang from Jilin." Liu Guodong said with a smile.

"Huh? Really? Zhang Xinghan was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Of course it's true."

"Great, so that our old Zhang family can be regarded as thick." Zhang Xinghan got up very excitedly and said.

"By the way, your brother has a request in the message for you to name the child." Liu Guodong added.

"Name?" Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Now we are fighting fiercely with Lao Maozi at the border, let's call Zhang Weiguo, the word Junzhi." ”

"Zhang Weiguo, Zhang Junzhi, well, good name."

…………………… Jilin City, Zhang's house.

Zhang Xinghua hugged his newborn son and said to Su Hanyun, who was lying on the bed in confinement: "Hanyun, our son has a name, Zhang Weiguo, Zhang Junzhi, haha, the eldest brother gave it, it's not bad, right?" ”

"Hmm." Su Hanyun looked at the father and son with a happy face, and gently raised her forehead.

"By the way, I'm going back to the base later, and I may not be able to accompany your mother and son." Zhang Xinghua looked at Su Hanyun with some apologies.

Although Su Hanyun was reluctant in her heart, she still nodded on the surface and said: "It's okay, now that the nation is in trouble, you and your eldest brother are fighting for the country and the nation, I won't blame you, but you must have promised, you will come back safely, my son and I are waiting for you." ”

"Well, I will." Zhang Xinghua nodded solemnly, looked at the son in his arms dotingly, put him beside Su Hanyun, gently nodded on the forehead of their mother and son, and turned to leave.

…………………… Half a month later, the Russians transferred through Siberia a large number of reinforcements of three tank armored divisions and five artillery regiments, as well as a large number of logistical supplies of more than a hundred combat aircraft.

After receiving these reinforcements, the commander of the Russian army, Blyukher, immediately transferred five artillery regiments and more than fifty aircraft to Vladivostok.

However, three tank divisions were sent to the direction of Manchuria, and together with two Russian infantry divisions, two artillery regiments, and one cavalry division in Krasnokamensk, a total of more than 80,000 people, began to march towards Manchuria again.

On the Eastern Front, after being reinforced by five artillery regiments and more than 50 combat aircraft, Blyukhel gathered four infantry divisions from Vladivostok and other places, totaling about 70,000 men, and also re-attacked Aihui.

Lao Maozi's air force and artillery took the lead in launching a rapid artillery bombardment and bombardment of the 7th Reading Division stationed in Aihui.

Wang Tiehan, commander of the 7th Division of Reading Force, immediately called for the air force to help, and more than 20 BF109s of the flying regiment that had been stationed in Jiamusi took off one after another and rushed to the front line of Aihui to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Aihui's 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade also returned fire on the Russian artillery on the other side of the Heilongjiang River, and the two sides engaged in a fierce artillery battle.

, so the air battle between the two sides lasted less than ten minutes over Heilongjiang.

The Soviet Air Force, whose fighter surnamed was able to seriously lag behind BF109, fled in a hurry, and because Zhang Xinghan had an order that the Air Force was not allowed to enter the Soviet airspace without an order to bomb, the flight regiment failed to continue to expand the results of the battle.
