"Compare Commander Zhang Xinghan with the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the country's navy, land and air force, Zhang Shaomarsh, who has hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northeast Frontier Army, but he fled without a fight, was cowardly in resistance, greedy for life and afraid of death, which is really outrageous!" Cao Binghua paused as he spoke, and then said: "

Today, we are holding another march and petition, and we must publicize Commander Zhang's heroic deeds in a big way, so as to create pressure on Zhang Shaoshuai and other authorities in North China to force them to resist with arms and defend their homeland and country. ”

………………………………

Beiping City, Zhang Xiaoliu's young marshal's mansion.

In the main hall, many people gathered, they were Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Northeast Army, Wang Yizhe, commander of the 7th Brigade of Reading Force, and the military commanders of other main brigades.

Due to non-resistance to the order, they, like the 7th Brigade of Reading Force, were forced to withdraw from their original positions to the Jinzhou line.

As for gathering in the Young Marshal's Mansion, it is not that Zhang Xueliang has an order, but that they have their own purposes.

Some people were not angry that Kou had invaded the northeast, and spontaneously came to Beiping to find Zhang Xiaoliu, hoping to persuade him to order resistance, and some people came for revenge.

He is Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Army Command, when he learned that his son was shot by Zhang Xinghan as a deserter in Shenyang.

Rong Zhen, a big smoker, almost fainted in anger, and in a fit of rage, he hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhang Xiaoliu, asking for revenge.

He even left Jinzhou without permission and rushed back to Beiping City, where he wanted to meet Zhang Xiaoliu in person and ask him to uphold justice for the Rong family.

As Zhang Xinghan's quasi-father-in-law, his son-in-law created such a catastrophe, and it was naturally impossible for him to sit idly by, so after handing over the troops to Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan and others, he also followed him to Beiping City.

Everyone sat anxiously and waited, and Rong Zhen was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot, constantly pacing back and forth in the main hall.

"The young marshal has arrived!" With a loud shout, a group of generals of the Northeast Army, including Rong Zhen, turned around one after another and followed the sound.

Wang Yizhe also stood up from the chair, as Zhang Xueliang's absolute confidant, he could see that Zhang Xueliang had a tense face and seemed to be very displeased.

"Sit down, everybody." Zhang Xueliang walked into the main hall and waved his hand to signal to everyone.

The crowd didn't dare to do it first, but saluted one after another.

It wasn't until Zhang Xueliang sat down that they sat down.

Rong Zhen didn't sit down, but asked with a sad face: "Young marshal, Ziheng, he was killed by Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, you want to uphold justice for your humble position, he is the only descendant of our Rong family." ”

A trace of displeasure flashed between Zhang Xiaoliu's eyebrows, Zang Shiyi's operation to capture Zhang Xinghan failed, but he was controlled by Zhang Xinghan He had already learned the news, and he also learned an even more shocking news, Zhang Xinghan defeated the well-equipped Kwantung Army with a city defense army of less than 10,000 people.

However, he didn't show it immediately, but stopped talking to Rong Zhen and said, "Chief of Staff Rong, don't get excited first, sit down first, sit down." ”

Sensing a hint of impatience in Zhang Xiaoliu's tone, Rong Zhen did not continue, but sat aside obediently.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Xiaoliu deliberately said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Xinghan killed my guard battalion commander without authorization, and did not obey the orders of the central government, I have decided to immediately remove him from all positions in our Northeast Army, and order the agents to wait for an opportunity to arrest him so that he can be punished!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xueliang said this, everyone present was slightly surprised, and Rong Zhen showed a smug sneer.

Wang Yizhe's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and said: "Young marshal, Zhang Xinghan led a lone army to fight bloodily, held on to Shenyang City, and there was hard work without merit, and the night before yesterday, he led his troops to completely annihilate more than 500 people who had invaded the Beida Battalion, and then eliminated the headquarters of the 29th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army, and relieved the siege of Shenyang. As for the execution of Captain Rong, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret, and now it is said that the thief's heart is not dead, and he is trying to occupy the territory of the three eastern provinces of our country. ”

"Wang Yizhe, what do you mean by this? You and I both know that the Nanjing political axe has repeatedly ordered that there should be no resistance, and Zhang Xinghan disobeyed his orders and killed my son, isn't he deserved? Rong Zhen suddenly jumped out in anger.

"Chief of Staff Rong, as a soldier, especially as a soldier from the Northeast, seeing Yu Kou encroaching on the splendid mountains and rivers of our three provinces and killing my hometown fathers and elders, and being indifferent, although it is an order, how can he have a clear conscience?" Wang Yizhe said, and the words changed sharply: "

Zhang Xinghan, who was only a small battalion commander of my Seventh Brigade, resolutely led his subordinates to resist when he heard of Kou's invasion, and took the initiative to lead a lone army to stick to Shenyang, not afraid of life and death at all.

And I, as a commander, are we not ashamed to flee without a fight with my troops? ”

Wang Yizhe's words were agreed by most of the Northeast Army generals present, and they nodded in agreement.

Rong Zhenqi's face was pale, his hands were clenched, his green tendons were exposed, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Yizhe coldly.

Just about to have a seizure, at this time, suddenly a young marshal's chamberlain outside walked in in with a somewhat hurried look.

The attendant walked quickly to Zhang Xiaoliu's side, and said in his ear: "Young Marshal, I just got the news that Jiang Gong, the commander-in-chief of the National Political Axe, has personally sent Zhang Xinghan a commendation order and a letter of appointment, officially appointing him as the commander of the Shenyang City Defense Army and promoting him to colonel. ”

"What?" Zhang Xiaoliu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the attendant with a blue face.

"Is the news true?"

"Absolutely." The squire replied.

"Adjournment, adjournment." The distraught Zhang Xiaoliu immediately waved his hand.

Rong Zhen just wanted to call him, but he glared at him and had to give up.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoliu's angry departure, Wang Yizhe and other generals of the Northeast Army were confused.

They all stepped forward to ask the attendants, and the attendants told everyone the aforementioned news.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, how could this be possible? With a city defense army of less than 10,000 people, he actually defeated the Kwantung Army?

The most surprising and unwilling to believe was Rong Zhen, a big smoker, after listening to the attendant's story, he grabbed the attendant's shoulder and roared: "How is it possible? How is this possible? How could this bastard defeat the Kwantung Army? ”

"Chief of Staff Rong, this is the case, the Nanjing National Political Axe has already issued a letter of appointment to Zhang Xinghan and sent a telegram to commend him, I think, this will, the major newspapers should have begun to publish this news, right? If you don't believe me, you can buy a newspaper on the street. The attendant waved away Rong Zhen and grabbed his big hand with some displeasure, and said.

……………………

Shenyang City, the headquarters of the city defense army.

Zhang Xinghan is trying to familiarize himself with a 37mm German-style anti-aircraft gun that he just got out of his watch.

As a war defense gun, that is, an anti-tank gun, Zhang Xinghan actually found a better option, that is, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun that shone in World War II.

However, because the armored forces of the devils have never been very good, especially in the past 31 years, their most advanced tank is the Type 89 tank.

Against this tank, a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun can beat it into a hornet's nest, not to mention this authentic German 37mm anti-aircraft gun.

Fight the little devil's tank, that's definitely a dozen and one accurate.

Because the Northeast Army has a complete military industrial base and military schools, Zhang Xinghan did not lack artillery who could shoot artillery and tank armored troops who could drive tanks at this time.

The reason why Zhang Xinghan was interested in this kind of anti-aircraft artillery was mostly due to the curiosity of the traverser.

In his previous life, as the best special soldier of the Republic, he was good at the indulgent use of almost all modern military weapons and equipment, but it was the first time for this famous gun in World War II.

Soldiers like weapons and equipment, just like gamblers like to play poker, and ladybills like to play girls, hobbies.

Zhang Xinghan was studying intently, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Commander, call from Nanjing." A communications soldier snapped to his feet.

"Oh? Read. Zhang Xinghan didn't look back.

"Commander Zhang Xinghan of the Shenyang City Defense Army, the good news of your ministry has been received, the government is very happy, and Zhongzheng also feels extremely gratified, in recognition of your outstanding military exploits and heroic performance, you are officially appointed as the commander of the Shenyang City Defense Army, and awarded the rank of colonel in the army, I hope you will make new contributions to the country and the nation, September 21, 20 years of the Republic of China, Jiang Zhongzheng." The Signal Soldier read.
