Chapter 241: Fighting

Zhang Xinghan had just made up his mind to attack with all his might, and the order had just been conveyed to all the troops in the city, when an urgent telegram flew in almost at the same time as the gunfire began again in the city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili first came into contact with the telegram, and after reading it, his face suddenly became more solemn than ever before.

Since working with Jiang Baili, Zhang Xinghan has never seen such a dignified Zhang Xinghan.

For a long time, this man who is two rounds older than himself is one year older, and almost all the men who can befriend his father's peers are the same as him Zhang Xinghan.

Strategize, thousands of troops and horses are in control, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away between talking and laughing.

Pig-Pig Island-Novel noticed that Jiang Baili's face was wrong at the turn of the year, and Zhang Xinghan asked with concern and seriousness: "Chief of Staff, what happened?" ”

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Baili's mouth, I don't know if it was because the Northeast New Army was out of the customs, and the two armies with the same root and origin were about to kill each other, and he felt sad and regretful, or because he was completely disheartened with the current warlords in various parts of China.

Of course, Zhang Xinghan, an emerging warlord who has no background or qualifications, and who fights with his own blood and fire, and fights in a bloody field is not an example.

On the contrary, in addition to being sad, he was even more determined to assist the young man in front of him to achieve great things.

Perhaps, in his eyes at this moment, the immortal hero who can save the country and the nation from the dire situation is none other than this young man who is not much older than his own children.

In fact, he is already a famous hero.

After Zhang Xinghan received the message, his face was also stunned, but he quickly returned to normal.

Although he expected this, Zhang Xinghan really didn't expect Zhang Xiaoliu to make such a determination so quickly.

Jiang Baili didn't speak, but looked at Zhang Xinghan quietly, waiting for him to make this decision that was not easy.

Both of them knew that the exit of the Northeast Army had made the original victory suddenly unpredictable.

The slightest mistake can lead to a fiasco of total annihilation.

Didn't hesitate too much. Zhang Xing said calmly: "Chairman Jiang has a sentence I want to borrow. ”

"What?" Jiang Baili asked.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside! If we do not block them and drive them back to Guannai before they penetrate deep into the rear of our forces, then our ties with North Manchuria are likely to be severed and we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover. Zhang Xinghan explained.

"Since the commander has seen it so thoroughly, I don't know what specific methods the commander has?" Jiang Baili asked again, and it was obvious that the main force of the Northeast New Army was currently contained in the Liaodong Peninsula by the Japanese army.

The number of troops that can be freed up is pitiful. Jiang Baili was looking forward to how Zhang Xinghan planned to deal with Zhang Xiaoliu, who seemed to be in the same family as him five hundred years ago.

Two completely different young people who are also household names in China at this time, but their fame is diametrically opposed.

As the hottest young talent in the Republic of China, Zhang Xiaoliu, who had a decisive influence in the military and political circles, had no reason not to hate Zhang Xinghan.

His appearance has infinitely magnified the drawbacks and negative effects of almost every decision he makes.

The September 18 Incident ruined the modest prestige and reputation he had built up since the Central Plains War and his support for reunification.

Even though the official rhetoric is based on the order of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing and Chairman Chiang, the commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force has responded to the strategic policy of the commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force to fight outside the country and first secure the interior.

But in a huge China, not everyone can fool as well as the vast majority of people in the market who are well fed and their families are not hungry.

People of insight, capable people. There are still many people in this country and ethnic group with a population base of 40,000.

Anyone can see it, and understand it, don't you Zhang Xiaoliu just want to preserve your strength, and you can't bear that little bit of family background.

will be subject to the king's order outside. What's more, you are the youngest emperor of the Northeast and even the Pingjin region of North China.

Can the decree of the Nanjing government cross the Yellow River? Don't talk about Shanhaiguan.

For these voices, he has been on a smooth road since he was a child, and Zhang Xiaoliu, who has the father of the Northeast King, is really speechless.

It just so happened that Zhang Xinghan's performance in the 918 Incident was diametrically opposed to his behavior of abandoning the customs without a fight.

Later, Zhang Xinghan not only won the respect and unrivaled prestige of the Chinese people. It also gained a foothold in the Northeast, and in a very short period of time, not only did it frighten the Japanese. even beat Lao Maozi.

It's amazing and overwhelming. Now hundreds of thousands of troops have been pulled up, and the autumn wind has swept away the fallen leaves, driving the Japanese from North Manchuria to South Manchuria like rabbits.

There is a trend of recovering the whole of Liao and reorganizing the Northeast in one fell swoop.

All of this is like an invisible slap, hitting him again and again Zhang Xiaoliu, deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China, and the second generation of the Northeast King's face.

Probably all swollen.

Three years ago, during the Middle East Road incident, the well-equipped Northeast Army, which owned the entire four northeastern provinces, was beaten by Lao Maozi under his command and suffered heavy losses.

In the Northeast dialect, the typical person has the ability to provoke trouble, and his mother has no ability to settle down, four words - self-inflicted humiliation!

Zhang Xinghan's answer made Jiang Baili a little surprised and surprised, but then he laughed with relief.

"Chief of Staff, I left you the two heavy artillery brigades of the 1st and 9th Divisions, are you sure that I will be restrained by Okamura Ninji?"

Jiang Baili didn't rush to answer, but looked at Zhang Xinghan with interest: "Is the commander planning to use two divisions and 30,000 people alone to fight against Zhang Shaoshuai's 200,000 Northeast Army?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Xinghan nodded.

"Isn't it a little less?" Jiang Baili was a little worried.

"If you don't want to make a quick decision, I think the independent 4th Division in Jinzhou, with the support of the Air Force, is almost enough." Zhang Xinghan's face did not change and his face was plain.

Zhang Xinghan is not a hot-headed arrogance, otherwise he would not have lived until now and has today's achievements.

Just now, he had already made a rough guess about the strength of the enemy and the enemy.

Although Zhang Xueliang still has a considerable number of troops of no less than 200,000 at hand.

But now Rehe has been divided between Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying and others, and the warlords of Jincha, Jisui and other provinces are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Especially Yan Xishan and the rest of the Northwest Army, Zhang Xueliang sent a telegram to support Jiang back then, and led his troops into the customs, but he stabbed them in the back.

So that the anti-Chiang coalition forces did not even have a chance to fight to the death.

No one dares to guarantee that they will not give Zhang Xiaoliu a knife in the back at a critical moment to avenge the attack.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoliu's 200,000 horses can eventually send half of them. A maximum of 1230,000 people is already the limit.

The vanguard that went out of the pass first did not even necessarily have more troops than the independent 4th Division.

With 30,000 and a half mechanized troops against the Northeast Army, which is three times his size, and still occupies an absolute air force advantage, Zhang Xinghan really has nothing to worry about.

Not to mention the Northeast Army, which has more than 100,000 equipment, training, and combat effectiveness, which is inferior to the old nose of the Japanese army.

Even if it was 100,000 Japanese troops, Zhang Xinghan dared to compete with them.

Itagaki Seishiro, a defeated general under Zhang Xinghan, had a miracle in the original history that he relied on half a semi-mechanized division to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army.

Zhang Xinghan was even more confident that he would command two motorized infantry divisions with firepower and equipment far superior to the Japanese army, and compete with Zhang Xiaoliu's 100,000 Northeast Army.

"The commander is full of pride, Baili admires, and other Baili dare not guarantee it. But before the commander returned to the division, the Japanese troops in Yingkou City did not want to go out of the city for half a step. Jiang Baili said in a firm tone.

Zhang Xinghan nodded reassuringly and said: "Two motorized infantry divisions, especially the 1st division plus two heavy artillery brigades, besiege and go to 30,000 Japanese troops, it shouldn't be much of a problem, I'm more worried about the Wafangdian defense line,

I'm really afraid that Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan won't be able to stop them, after all, the devils they are facing have more than 100,000 troops, and the air force will be in the next few days. I'm afraid I won't be able to give them much help anymore! ”

"Please rest assured that the commander is as the commander said, two motorized infantry divisions, plus two heavy artillery brigades and a tank division, it is definitely more than enough to besiege a Yingkou city.

If it is not to take into account the defense line of Wafangdian. Baili will definitely take the place of the commander and command the troops to continue the attack, and it should be a matter of time before Yingkou City is taken, at most it will take some more time.

The siege of the city basically did not use heavy artillery brigades, and the attacking troops in the city were withdrawn when they turned back to their posts. Transfer two heavy artillery brigades to Wafangdian, with their reinforcements, our army will definitely increase in strength in Wafangdian! Jiang Baili said.

"The chief of staff is relieved." Zhang Xinghan rarely smiled at this juncture.

And did not forget to instruct: "The tank division as a strategic force." Placing it outside the city is the biggest deterrent to the Japanese army, and it is best not to transfer it away easily, in case Okamura Ningji, an old devil dog, jumps off the wall in a hurry! ”

"Well, I made a note of it." Jiang Baili nodded.

"Signal soldiers, immediately send a telegram to the 4th Independent Division, and order Liu Jianguo to immediately send a tank regiment and a motorized infantry battalion out of the city overnight, and march to Chaoyang County (now Chaoyang City), be sure to arrive in front of the Northeast Army, and defend Lao Tzu at all costs! In case the Northeast Army makes a detour to attack Shenyang! Zhang Xinghan immediately shouted an order to the communication soldiers who had been guarding the door.

"Yes!" As early as when Zhang Xinghan shouted the three words of communication soldier, the signal soldier hurriedly entered the call, and after hastily writing down the contents one by one, he saluted, turned around and took the order.

In Jinzhou City, Liu Jianguo, who had already led the main force of the division back to Jinzhou, did not dare to slack off as soon as he received Zhang Xinghan's urgent telegram order, and immediately sent a tank regiment directly under the division and an infantry battalion to leave the city at night and march to Chaoyang County.

Similar to Zhang Xinghan's expectation, Zhang Xueliang's battle plan was to use part of his troops to contain the Northeast New Army in the direction of Jinzhou after leaving the customs.

After the main force left the customs, it went north from Shanhaiguan, passed through Chaoyang and Fuxin, and penetrated directly into Shenyang, first recaptured Shenyang, and captured the weak defense areas of the Northeast New Army around it.

Cut off the connection between Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army and North Manchuria, and unite with the Japanese Kwantung Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Northeast New Army and the Liaodong Peninsula.

He Lichong, the commander of the 7th Independent Brigade, who was the vanguard commander, was also cautious in his use of troops, not only specially picking out the customs at night to avoid reconnaissance by the planes of the Northeast New Army and conceal his whereabouts.

At the same time, a considerable number of cavalry scouts were also dispatched to search for and intercept the scouts sent by the new army in the northeast of Jinzhou.

However, He Lichong was negligent, and although the scouts of the 4th Independent Division were counter-reconnoitred and suffered heavy losses, they failed to detect the real information in time.

But Shen Yizhi's reconnaissance battalion, which Zhang Xinghan spent a lot of money to cultivate, played a role at a critical moment.

Today's reconnaissance battalion, that is, Zhang Xinghan's secret agent unit, in addition to focusing its main manpower on dealing with the Kwantung Army.

According to Zhang Xinghan's instructions that he was not at ease in the pass, he also sent some people to keep an eye on the Northeast Army and other warlords in Rehe.

Therefore, these agents of the Northeast New Army hidden near Shanhaiguan immediately discovered the Northeast Army's move out of the customs and quickly reported it to Zhang Xinghan secretly. (To be continued......)
