At the same time, in the direction of Shanhaiguan, Suizhong County in the western Liaoning corridor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Jianguo finally led all the officers and soldiers of the 203rd Division to Suizhong to join the 200th Division.

Before them, Xing Zhanqing's 2nd Tank Division and three air defense regiments had already arrived.

At this point, the Northeast Frontier Army assembled two integrated mechanized infantry divisions, one tank division, and three air defense regiments in Suizhong.

The total strength exceeded 58,000 people, and the army was nearly 60,000.

In the temporary division headquarters, Huang Xiansheng was high-spirited to Liu Jianguo, Xing Zhan & Pig & Pig & Island & Novel {}. {zhuzhu} {dao}. Qing, Niu Erzhu, Mi Xiong and others: "Brothers, our army has been assembled, and the commander-in-chief has just called, saying that they have left Chengde this morning and are on their way to the south.

It's time for us to officially march west and attack Shanhaiguan. ”

Everyone nodded, and Niu Erzhu even spoke: "Shizuo, please go to war, please approve me to lead a regiment of my department as a forward force to attack Shanhaiguan." ”

Huang Xiansheng nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll transfer the tank regiment to your command, you set off first, and I, Division Commander Liu, and Division Commander Xing will lead the main force to follow." ”

"Yes." Niu Erzhu happily responded, and after saluting, he hurriedly took the order to leave.

"Jianguo, Zhanqing, we are all old acquaintances, and He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan on the opposite side are also old acquaintances.

This fight is more or less fratricidal, so I asked Deputy Division Commander Niu to lead the team to attack, do you understand? Huang Xiansheng looked at the three people meaningfully.

Indeed, they are all the old departments of the Northeast Army, and they are former colleagues with He Zhuguo and Yu Xuezhong, all of them are brothers.

Liu Jianguo lowered his head and groaned for a while, then raised his head and said: "General Huang, don't mention the previous things again, the reason why we parted ways is because we don't want to sit back and watch the land fall." Fellow citizens suffered.

History will give the best proof of what is right and what is wrong.

Now we, as the Northeast Frontier Army, under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, are conquering Goryeo and defeating Japan and Russia.

Today, the headquarters ordered us to enter the customs, then there must be a reason for him, and anyone who dares to block the pace of our army's advance, no matter who he is. They are all our enemies, see each other on the battlefield, either you die or I die, and the righteousness of the former robe has long disappeared with the guns and cannons of the 918 Incident and the Battle of Jinzhou. ”

Xing Zhanqing also nodded and agreed: "General Huang, Division Commander Liu is right, think about the 918 incident, think about what the Northeast Army did when they went out of the customs during the Battle of Liaodong, how could they ever treat us as brothers in Paoze?"

They even wanted to join forces with the Japanese to destroy us. How can such a person be worthy of being our brothers, what do we have to worry about! ”

What the two said was reasonable, recalling Zhang Shaoshuai's inaction in the past. and later the performance of traitorous acts, Huang Xiansheng's mentality has changed.

Nodding his head, he said, "The two of you are right, it is my woman's kindness, from now on there will only be the enemy army and our army." Without the righteousness of the Northeast Army, we can't be sorry for the commander-in-chief's love for us, so let's all go and prepare. The troops were immediately mobilized and sent to Shanhaiguan. ”

………………

Shanhaiguan, the military headquarters of the 57th Army.

Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu and others were gathering together to discuss the military situation, when a communications adjutant hurriedly ran in.

Saluted Zhang Tingshu and reported: "Division, the enemy army in Suizhong has moved. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Tingshu, Liu Duoquan and the others were all taken aback, and Liu Duoquan asked on his behalf: "Tell me quickly, what is the specific situation?" How many centaurs are there in the enemy army? Where are we now? ”

The communications adjutant did not dare not answer, and after looking at Zhang Tingshu and the others, he said: "The enemy has many tanks and armored vehicles, and the number of troops may not be less than 100,000, and its vanguard troops have taken the lead in leaving Suizhong and marching rapidly towards Shanhaiguan, which is currently less than 100 miles away from us. ”

"An army of 100,000?" Liu Duoquan, Zhang Tingshu, Tao Dongfan and others all changed drastically, and Liu Duoquan took a breath of cold air and said in disbelief: "How is this possible?" Isn't there only one division under Huang Xiansheng? How is it that in less than two days, the number of troops has increased so much? ”

"Yes, didn't the Northeast Frontier Army just finish the Battle of Goryeo? It is said that a considerable number of garrisons were left on the Goryeo Peninsula.

How could Zhang Xinghan come up with another 100,000 troops to attack us in such a short period of time? Taodong Fan was also shocked and followed.

The communications adjutant obviously didn't know that their intelligence had deviated, and bowed his head and said: "The specific situation is not clear, and our reconnaissance unit reported it like this." ”

Zhang Tingshu's face was miserable, he was silent for a while, and said to Liu Duoquan: "Brother Fangbo, the enemy has a large number of troops and is menacing, let's hurry up and send a telegram to General Yu and General He for help, we must ask them to send additional reinforcements, otherwise this Shanhaiguan may not be able to hold it!" ”

"Well, we also have more than 60,000 people in our hands, guarding a Shanhaiguan, the number of people is enough, what needs to be strengthened is firepower, I will send a telegram to Commander Yu and ask him to transfer several artillery brigades to strengthen our artillery strength." Liu Duoquan immediately decided.

……………………

Beiping City, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

When the communications adjutant presented the urgent telegram from Liu Duoquan and others to his eyes, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo, who were sitting in the Young Marshal's Mansion, also changed their faces.

"An army of 100,000?!" At this moment, Yu Xuezhong and they had a kind of desperate trembling.

You must know that Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army's combat strength far exceeds that of the Japanese army and the Soviet army, and under the same strength, the Japanese and Russian armies are not their opponents at all.

And Yu Xuezhong and they also have self-knowledge, today's Northeast Army's combat strength is much worse than that of the Japanese, and it is not at the same level as the Northeast Frontier Army, which has just experienced a bloody battle with the Japanese army and the Soviet army.

The combat strength of these 100,000 troops far exceeds that of the 200,000 Northeast Army, not to mention that the total strength of the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area is only more than 170,000 people, less than 200,000.

"Brother Yu, this battle is very important, let's hurry up and contact the young marshal." He Zhuguo's eyes were full of desperation, for learning loyalty.

Yu Xuezhong smiled bitterly: "Young marshal? He is far away to Europe, this will probably still be on the way, not settled down, how to contact? ”

"So what are we going to do? Zhang Xinghan's 100,000-strong army is menacing, and if the young marshal can't be contacted, Pingjin may be about to change hands! He Zhuguo was anxious.

"In this way, I first responded to Liu Duoquan's request for help and transferred the 6th, 7th, and 8th artillery brigades." Yu Xuezhong groaned: "In addition, we immediately sent a telegram to Chairman Jiang in Nanjing and Yan Xishan in Shanxi, asking them to send troops to reinforce us. ”

"The Central Army and the Jin Sui Army?" He Zhuguo was a little worried: "Will they be willing to send troops to help us?" If you don't do well, it's likely that the false way to destroy us will fall into the ground. ”

"It should be, now Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army has occupied the Goryeo Peninsula and the entire four northeastern provinces, if he is allowed to occupy Pingjin again, then the battle flag of the Northeast Frontier Army can move south at any time, touching the entire North China and even the northwest.

Whether it was Chairman Chiang's Central Army or Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, they certainly did not want Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army to expand again.

In order to curb his expansion into North China, they should send troops to help us. Yu Xuezhong was not very sure of the analysis.

Hearing Yu Xuezhong's analysis, He Zhuguo had no other way, so he nodded and agreed.

The only remaining artillery brigades of the Northeast Army were ordered to reinforce Shanhaiguan along the railway, and the joint telegrams of Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others asking for help were also sent to Nanjing and Taiyuan one after another.

Nanjing, the official residence of the leader of the Nationalist Government.

With regard to the movement of the Northeast Frontier Army's intention to attack Pingjin, Chairman Chiang received some information two days ago, and in addition, he received a joint telegram from Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo, and others asking for help.

At this meeting, Chairman Chiang summoned He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, and Chen Cheng, the head of the Civil Engineering Department, a confidant.

The three of them sat on the sofa in Chairman Jiang's living room, and Chairman Jiang picked up a telegram on the coffee table and said to He Yingqin and Chen Cheng: "Respect, resignation, this is a telegram for help jointly sent by Yu Xuezhong, commander of the 51st Army of the Northeast Army, and He Zhuguo, commander of the 57th Army, and others. ”

As he spoke, he handed the message to He Yingqin, who took it respectfully, and handed it to Chen Cheng after reading it.

Seeing that both of them had read it, Chairman Jiang said in a thick Ningbo accent: "What do you think? Do you want to send troops to rescue them? ”

He Yingqin and Chen Cheng glanced at each other and said: "Commission, Zhang Xueliang has gone abroad, the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area has no leader, if we don't reinforce them, I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army and Pingjin territory will be annexed by Zhang Xinghan."

Allowing Zhang Xinghan's unscrupulous development and expansion will not be beneficial to the party-state, Zhang Xinghan is by no means comparable to Zhang Hanqing, and if he becomes the climate, he will be more harmful than Zhang Zuolin. ”

He Yingqin's words resonated with Chen Cheng, and even Chairman Jiang nodded in acknowledgement.

Chen Cheng said: "Minister He is right, in fact, in the past three years, Zhang Xinghan has defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army with lightning speed, captured the four northeastern provinces, and now defeated the Japanese invaders in Goryeo, and won the Goryeo Peninsula, and has become a new land hegemon in Northeast Asia."

The orders of the party-state and the commission are extremely perfunctory, and we must not allow him to continue to develop.

It must be contained, otherwise it will become a serious problem for the party-state in the future, and in the words of Minister He, the harm will be no less than that of the former warlord Zhang Zuolin, or even stronger than the former. ”

"Well, what you two said makes sense, I used to be too careless, taking into account the overall situation, but I didn't expect Zhang Xinghan's kid to develop so quickly, like divine help, it's really incredible." Chairman Jiang nodded, and then frowned slightly and said: "But the main force of our Central Army is suppressing bandits, and it is at a critical moment now, so I really can't transfer too many troops to the north."

And the more than 100,000 people of our army in North China not only have to restrain Han Fuqu of the Shandong army and Yan Xishan of the Jin Sui army, but also have to stick to various places, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Zhang Xinghan from going south! (To be continued......)
