The next afternoon, the recruit division finally arrived in Chengde to join Zhang Xinghan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The commander of the recruit division leading the team is the former independent 10th Division, and the current deputy division commander of the 209th Division, Ge Quanwu.

Ge Quanwu is the elite of the backbone, Zhang Xinghan also remembers him, in the Battle of Shenyang, in Xinmin, he blocked the Japanese army's attack on both sides with the strength of a regiment.

In the end, it laid the foundation for the Northeast New Army to encircle and annihilate the Xinmin Japanese army and win the victory in the Battle of Shenyang.

"Commander, long time no see." Ge Quanwu had "pigs", "pigs", "islands", "novels", and saluted Zhang Xinghan excitedly.

Zhang Xinghan smiled and replied, "Master Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm becoming more and more energetic!" ”

After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Xinghan convened a temporary pre-war meeting.

Sabuli, Ge Quanwu and others participated as the main members.

Zhang Xinghan looked at the crowd: "Everyone, my troops on the southern front have basically been prepared, and they will launch an attack on Shanhaiguan in the near future." Our task is to wait for the main forces of the Northeast Army to be attracted to the direction of Shanhaiguan, and immediately advance to the Huairou and Miyun areas, and directly attack Beiping City, so that the Northeast Army cannot take care of both the beginning and the end.

After the main force of our southern front broke through the Shanhaiguan defense line, our army was responsible for outflanking and detouring to the Zhuozhou area, so as to prevent the Northeast Army from escaping to the Baoding and Cangzhou lines, and encircling and annihilating them and the Pingjin area as much as possible. ”

As soon as Zhang Xinghan's voice fell, Sabuli frowned and said: "Commander, according to the information I have, the 53rd Army of the Northeast Army Wan Fulin has basically not changed, and has always been stationed in Huairou and Miyun, with nearly 40,000 troops, if we want to break through from this direction and attack Beiping City." I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "Yes, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army is indeed stationed in this area, but one of their armies has to defend such a large area as Zizunhua, Xinglong, Miyun, Huairou and Changping, although there are many troops, they have actually been greatly dispersed.

Our army can adopt the method of dispersing and advancing to cross their dense and Huai defense lines and directly attack the outskirts of Beiping. In this way, Wan Fulin's troops were bound to be in great confusion and hurriedly returned to the division to rescue Beiping, while our army could concentrate superior forces and annihilate them one by one on the way back to help, and each one was broken.

At the same time, Beiping is attacked, and the Northeast Army in the direction of Shanhaiguan will definitely be affected, as long as we break through Shanhaiguan. The mechanized superiority of our tank and armored units can be brought into full play, and they will be invincible all the way, going straight to Beiping and Tianjin. ”

After listening to Zhang Xinghan's analysis, Sabuli nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Of course. In order to ensure the success of this scattered assault, we must create some pressure on Wan Fulin on the frontal battlefield. Zhang Xinghan said this, turned his head to look at Ge Quanwu and said: "Quanwu, this is a frontal feint." The task of attracting the attention of the enemy is entrusted to you, and you give me the concentration of my forces to storm the Huairou and Miyun areas. The Air Force will provide you with strong fire support.

Remember that your task is not to defeat the opponent, but to contain them, attract them, just make a show, don't be rash, fill in the entire recruit reserve division, although we are well-equipped, but when it comes to fighting, this group of recruits under you is not the opponent of the veterans under Wan Fulin.

Fortunately, the Northeast Army is basically frightened by our army, and they are afraid of our army's prestige, and they should only be passive in defense and dare not take the initiative to attack, so that you have the initiative, advance and retreat freely, and have the support of the air force, there should be no major problems. ”

"Yes." Ge Quanwu happily received the order and said: "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will definitely be more careful and cautious." ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded, and said to Sabuli: "Lao Sa, your 210th division is going to sing the leading role this time, in addition to the original cavalry brigade, the tank regiment directly under the division headquarters, and the artillery regiment will also be dispatched with the army, so let's take the cavalry brigade and my guard battalion from Changping to the south, and you will lead the tank regiment, artillery regiment and two infantry regiments to divide into two routes, interspersed from Xinglong and Huairou respectively.

Remember, the time should be chosen at night, pass quietly, even if you encounter a small force of the enemy, don't fall in love, quickly pass south, we will meet on the periphery of Beiping! ”

"Yes, please rest assured, commander-in-chief, and remember your humble duties." Sabuli also agreed.

"Okay, let's all go and prepare, rest for another day today, and set off tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to everyone to dismiss the meeting.

Not long after everyone left, Guo Zhong suddenly walked in with a telegram and reported to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from General Wang Yizhe from Seoul. ”

Zhang Xinghan's face changed when he heard this, and he asked a little nervously: "What's wrong, what happened?" Did the Japanese counterattack? ”

Guo Zhong shook his head lightly and said: "It's not the Japanese army's counterattack, the current situation on the Goryeo Peninsula is stable, and General Wang and they have already begun to set up a puppet army and puppet regime." ”

The formation of a puppet army and a puppet regime was a decision made by Zhang Xinghan before he left, which was conducive to the rule of the Northeast Frontier Army on the Goryeo Peninsula.

Although the puppet army dominated by the Koreans may not be useful in fighting, it is more than enough to maintain law and order and suppress some local people who are disgusted with the Northeast Army.

The ancestors have already implemented it with razing, and the effect is not bad.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

"Does the commander remember the large number of devils who fled into the mountains during the Battle of Kaesong?" Guo Zhong reminded and asked.

Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and suddenly said: "Remember, remember, what's wrong, they went out of the mountain?" ”

Guo Zhong nodded and said: "It is true that it has come out of the mountain, but there are nearly 20,000 devils, and there are less than 2,000 people who have walked out of the mountains alive. The devils used the common people as cannon fodder in Kaesong, and the locals were ruthless to them.

It is said that there may still be some living devils in the mountains who have lost their way and have not been able to come out, in order to be precautionary, General Wang has mobilized the local puppet army to pay close attention to it, and is ready to encircle and suppress any little devils who come out of the mountains alive. ”

"Well, that's good, these devils are the last threat to the Goryeo region, and if you eliminate them, there is no force within Goryeo that can threaten the rule of our army." Zhang Xinghan put his mind down and nodded: "Call General Wang back, and call all the participating troops to commend them." ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong answered, turned around and left.

……………………

Speechless all night, early the next morning, the two divisions that had already been prepared left Chengde separately and headed south to Changping, Miyun, Huairou and other places.

The troops that set out from Chengde this time, including Zhang Xinghan's guard battalion and Ge Quanwu's recruit division, totaled more than 27,000 people.

There were only six infantry regiments, apparently Zhang Xinghan set aside places for artillery regiments, tank regiments when forming these recruit divisions.

The three extra regiments were reorganized into tanks, artillery, and other directly subordinate units when the time was ripe.

However, although there are no direct units such as artillery and tanks, the recruits are not badly equipped, such as MG42 general-purpose machine guns, Garand semi-automatic rifles, Bazookas, MP38 submachine guns, these are easy to use, easy to master and well-prepared weapons.

The firepower is much better than Wan Fulin's 53rd Army.

After separating from Sabuli and Ge Quanwu, Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong took a cavalry brigade and a guard battalion totaling more than 5,000 people, and rushed towards Changping.

This cavalry brigade is the only formed cavalry unit retained within the Northeast Frontier Army so far, and it is mainly in consideration of the topography of Rehe and the lack of personnel in the armored troops that it was made an exception to belong to the 210th Division.

And the cavalry brigade does live up to expectations, they are highly mobile, although they cannot be compared with armored units, but they are more flexible, and the logistical supply requirements are almost negligible on this thousand-mile plain.

It has made great contributions to the 210th Division in stabilizing the situation in Rehe.

Moreover, Sabuli was born in cavalry, with the support of Zhang Xinghan, and the cavalry were basically equipped with submachine guns, replacing the traditional horse guns.

With extremely strong firepower and strong attack ability, they are also an indispensable and powerful force to deter the remnants of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army in the Chahar and Miyun regions.

Because this time it was a lone army and it was difficult to supply logistics, Zhang Xinghan ordered the guard battalion to abandon the military vehicles, all change to war horses, and act in unison with the cavalry brigade.

In fact, Zhang Xinghan has a multi-functional watch in his hand, and the replenishment of gasoline is not difficult for him, but these military cars are not tank vehicles, they are all means of transportation like cavalry and horses, and there are no special advantages.

encountered some road reasons, it was not as flexible and convenient as the cavalry war horses, so Zhang Xinghan asked the guard battalion to give up the car and ride all the horses.

The officers and men of the guard battalion are all elite soldiers selected by the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Equipped with a sharp saber, it became a cavalry in the blink of an eye.

I haven't ridden a war horse for a long time, let alone marched with thousands of cavalry, I rode my horse out of the queue, and looked away, only to see thousands of iron horsemen stretching for miles, soldiers wearing blue military uniforms, wearing steel helmets, carrying submachine guns, riding horses and galloping, like a raging flood, sweeping towards the front.

Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but rise with great pride, pulled the reins of the horse, waved the horsewhip and slapped the horse's buttocks, "Drive!" ”

The war horse was in pain, and immediately spread its hooves and galloped forward, and Guo Zhong and others rode their horses to follow.

More than 5,000 cavalry roared and galloped like thunder, and everywhere they went, smoke and dust billowed and the sound shook the sky. (To be continued......)
