readx;?ā Chairman Chiang's orders have been sent to the telegrams, and Commander, don't you think that this battle between Song, Sun, and others may be a very rare opportunity for us? Jiang Baili said meaningfully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Opportunity? Chief of Staff, do you mean to take the opportunity to annex the Sun and Song departments? Zhang Xinghan was a little confused.
"The annexation is a bit serious, but the two tigers must be injured when they fight, this is a matter of picking up cheap and reaping the benefits of fishermen, and we have no reason not to do it." Jiang Baili said.
"Perhaps, this is exactly what Chairman Chiang wants to see, right? Although Zhang Shaoshuai's strength has been greatly damaged, it is not a problem to deal with small warlords like Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying.
&n: Pig: Pig: Island: Novel 3w.; There is also Yan Xishan in Shanxi, after three years of hibernation, the strength of the Jin Sui army has been restored as before, the whole of North China belongs to him and Han Fuqu, Zhang Shaoshuai is the strongest, Han Fuqu jumped off the beam clown, Zhang Shaoshuai has also lost the foundation of the Northeast, there is nothing to worry about, he Yan Laoxi's tentacles have long been eager to stretch out of Shanxi, get involved in Pingjin, Hebei and Northwest provinces, right? ā
"The commander's analysis is not unreasonable, but everything is risky, and the situation in the northwest seems to be erosive and chaotic, but if it is operated properly, it is still very profitable." Jiang Baili said.
"But the food crisis in my three northeastern provinces has not yet passed, the military rations are even more tight, and the troops have just gone through a big war, so they really can't afford to fight again." Zhang Xinghan said with a sad face.
"Commander, March is now passing in the blink of an eye, summer is coming, in two or three months at most, it will be autumn harvest season, if we can truly take Rehe as our own, then the harvest of tens of millions of acres of cultivated land in Rehe Province will be all ours.
Even if only taxes are collected, it will be a large amount of revenue, which will greatly make up for the tight food supply situation in the three northeastern provinces.
As for the food supply of our army, if this inventory operation goes smoothly, we should be able to obtain an astonishing quantity of food, and with their troops, the problem of military rations will be easily solved.
Our army is well-equipped, and the armored tank forces are currently an invincible presence. The territory of Rehe is also a flat river, which is extremely conducive to the mobility of our army and gives full play to our advantages.
In addition, we have an air force, and this time we will send troops, and the commander can bring fewer troops as he did last time.
As a last resort, neither the Jin Sui Army nor Zhang Shaoshuai's Northeast Army wanted to engage us at war.
In this way, we will have the initiative, and the commander will be able to judge the situation and achieve the goal without fighting, and if necessary, we will be able to punish any disobedient party with a small punishment. Jiang Baili said confidently.
"Is there tens of millions of acres of cultivated land in Rehe Province now?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.
"Yes. Rehe is not as good as the northeast, and its territory is a plain plain with a flat river for thousands of miles, and the cultivated land area is quite large. Jiang Baili nodded.
Zhang Xinghan paced back and forth and fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he slapped the table and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger?" Just do what you say, Chief of Staff. ā
Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Xinghan approvingly and asked, "Then let's discuss it carefully, and transfer those troops to the appropriate one, which can not only deter the warlords, but also reduce the logistical pressure of our army as much as possible." ā
"So be it. One motorized infantry regiment was drawn from the 6th and 4th Divisions, plus an armored division, two tank regiments and an air defense regiment, and then the cavalry brigade of Sabuli was assembled to form a westward advance force. Depart for Rehe. Zhang Xinghan groaned.
"Well, I think so." Jiang Baili nodded in praise.
"Then hurry up and pass the order." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.
"Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded in response.
Soon, Zhang Xinghan's order was conveyed, and the units of the former cavalry brigade scattered throughout North Manchuria began to assemble overnight.
Three tank regiments stationed in Changchun and other places also urgently assembled. A tank regiment of the 4th Independent Division set out from Shenyang and advanced towards Tongliao.
Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili led a regiment of the 6th Independent Division and a guard battalion totaling more than 3,000 people from Harbin to the south by train. Intending to take Changchun to Tongliao, all troops agreed to assemble in Tongliao.
Early the next morning, Alice and Erin came to the division headquarters of the 6th Independent Division from the hotel, only to see Wang Yicai get the news to welcome him, but not Zhang Xinghan.
Alice asked suspiciously, "General Wang, is your Commander-in-Chief Zhang here?" ā
Wang Yicai smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry Miss Alice, we have something important to do last night, and we have already left Harbin, and he told me before leaving, if you have time, you can stay in Harbin for a while, and thank you when he comes back." ā
"Gone?" Alice was a little disappointed.
"Yes." Wang Yicai smiled and nodded.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On the dirt road from Changchun to Tongliao, a huge convoy of hundreds of tanks, military trucks, and jeeps is wandering around.
In the early morning, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili led their troops to Changchun, and after meeting with the three tank regiments, they marched towards Tongliao without stopping.
Military trucks full of soldiers and bulky tanks roared forward, bringing up puffs of ash smoke in their passes.
The scene was spectacular.
"Commander, the 4th Division sent their 3rd Motorized Infantry Regiment, which has now arrived in Tongliao and is waiting for us to arrive." Inside an armored car, Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan, who was looking at the map.
"Well, where is the cavalry brigade now?" Zhang Xinghan looked up and asked.
"They should have completed the assembly in Taonan, and they are rushing to Tongliao like us." Jiang Baili said.
"I don't know how the battle situation in Rehe is now." Zhang Xinghan turned his head to look at the scenery flying upside down outside the car, as if talking to himself.
"Sun Dianying's troops are superior, but Song Zheyuan's department is the elite of the rest of the Northwest Army, and Song is good at training, and the department basically inherits the brave and good fighting of the original Northwest Army, so the battle between the two sides should be stalemate, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time." Jiang Baili guessed and analyzed.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Fengning County, Rehe, here is the main battlefield of the battle between Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying, Fengning is located at the beginning of 170 kilometers west of Chengde, bordering Chicheng and Guyuan County of Chahar in the west, Miyun and Huairou in the south, and Duolun in the north.
Because the northern part of Fengning is located on the southern edge of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and the southern part belongs to the mountainous area of the Yanshan Mountains, the climate between the north and the south is very different. Therefore, it is known as the dam in the local area.
In addition, Fengning is also the main water source of Pingjin Chaohe, the birthplace of the White River and the Luan River, known as the dam.
Fengning County originally belonged to Rehe, but in the last battle, Song Zheyuan's army took advantage of the Japanese army to be defeated and occupied by the Northeast New Army.
Therefore, the two sides launched a fierce battle in Fengning, and Sun Dianying made the first move, so Song Zheyuan's army was on the defensive.
Song Zheyuan originally deployed one division of troops in Fengning, and Sun Dianying gathered three divisions. About 30,000 troops came to attack.
As the battle progressed, Song Zheyuan's reinforcements arrived from Chahar and other places, and Sun Dianying also increased his troops to 50,000 people.
The forces gathered on the Fengning battlefield by both sides have approached 100,000.
After the end of the Central Plains War, Song Zheyuan and other remnants of the Northwest Army retreated into Shanxi, and then reorganized by Zhang Shaoshuai, although the number is an army, but the strength is less than 10,000 people.
With the continuous expansion in the past three years, the strength of Song Zheyuan's 29th Army has grown to nearly 40,000 people, which is much faster than the speed of development in the original history.
To know historically. Until 1937, the 29th Army had only four divisions and more than 30,000 men.
In the past few years, Sun Dianying's department has continued to expand in Chahar, Suiyuan, Rehe and other places, and has incorporated bandits, ruffians, hooligans and other armed forces, and the Northeast New Army has sold him weapons.
The army is developing very rapidly. The total strength has exceeded 70,000 troops, but the composition of the troops is very mixed, good and bad, compared with Song Zheyuan's 29th Army. Individual combat power is much worse.
Therefore, even though the strength of the 29th Army was almost doubled, Sun Dianying was unable to defeat it quickly. Capture the county seat of Fengning.
On the contrary, the offensive was repeatedly frustrated, and the troops were blocked under the city of Fengning, and fell into a difficult war of attrition.
In order to boost morale and facilitate command, Sun Dianying personally arrived in Luanping from Chengde, and rushed to the front line several times by car to inspect and motivate his subordinates.
In the Sun Army headquarters in Luanping County, the sound of the radio was endless, and Sun Jun's communication personnel came and went, and they seemed to be extremely busy.
In one war room, a bearded officer leans back in a chair and smokes a dry cigarette.
Several middle-aged officers stood around.
"Chairman, according to reliable sources, Chairman Chiang seems to have ordered Zhang Xinghua to lead the Northeast New Army west to Rehe to mediate the war between our army and the 29th Army." In 1926, he served as the commander of the 2nd Division of the 14th Army of the Zhilu Allied Army (Sun Dianying), and the commander of the 17th Army of Sun Dianying's Fifth Route Army during the Central Plains War.
"Jingxuan, is this news reliable?" Sun Dianying was shocked when she heard this, and stood up and said.
"It should be true, I have sent an eyeliner to closely monitor the movements of the Northeast New Army, if there is a situation, we will get the news soon." Liu Yueting's voice fell.
A man in civilian clothes hurriedly walked in and saluted Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting: "Report Chairman Sun, Chief Liu, according to our army's scout report, several groups of people and horses of the Northeast New Army are marching towards Tongliao, and it is likely to enter Rehe. ā
Sun Dianying and Liu Yueting's faces changed suddenly when they heard this, and they scolded: "Damn, he Zhang Xinghan is going to stab him in the back, how is this good?" ā
"Chairman, don't panic, I think you should take the initiative to send a telegram to Zhang Xinghan now, ask about his intentions, test him, and then make plans." Liu Yueting said.
"Okay, generate electricity right away." Sun Dianying nodded again and again.
"Jingxuan, if he Zhang Xinghan really comes with heavy troops, what should we do? His Northeast New Army can't even defeat the Japanese and Lao Maozi, and we are not opponents, and if we don't make trouble, we will fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on our backs. Sun Dianying complained bitterly.
"Chairman, don't worry, let's see how Zhang Xinghan responds, I think he shouldn't join forces with the 29th Army to deal with us, it won't be good for him." Liu Yueting analyzed.
