Chapter 181: The Northern Manchurian Recovery
Zhang Jinghui's eyes rolled and asked rhetorically, "What are Brother Lanbo's plans?" Yu Zhishan looked at Ji Xing and Zhang Jinghui and said: "What Brother Pei just said is right, Jilin is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, but I think Jilin cannot be defended. ”
As soon as Yu Zhishan's words were spoken, Ji Xing was still full of use, but when he finished speaking, Ji Xing immediately changed color and said, "Brother Lan Bo, what do you mean by this?" Why can't Jilin be defended? Where can we go without going to Jilin? ”
Yu Zhishan said unhurriedly: "First of all, Jilin is too close to Changchun, if Zhang Xinghan sends troops from Changchun, with the speed of his mechanized troops, it will not take five hours to reach Jilin City." ”
"So what? We have nearly 60,000 people, can't we stand a Jilin city? Jixing said unconvinced.
"Brother Pei, now that I have been beaten by Zhang Xinghan, I have been forced to give up North Manchuria, and I don't have my main containment, do you think we can resist Zhang Xinghan's joint onslaught by land and air? His armored forces are helpless even for themselves, let alone us? Yu Zhishan analyzed.
"Then Brother Lanbo, where are you going to retreat?" Ji Xingqiang asked angrily.
Yu Zhishan paused and said, "I suggest that we retreat to the northeast." ”
"Northeast? Could it be that Brother Lanbo is planning to retreat to your eastern road? Ji Xing couldn't help but snort coldly: "Brother Lan Bo is really calculating, pull the troops back to reorganize your Eastern Dao Town Guard Mansion?" ”
"Brother Pei, what you said is right, that is, the East Road, where is Yu's base, as long as we withdraw to the East Road, we can stand on our own, and I am standing with Zhang Xinghan.
As for reorganizing my Eastern Dao Town Guard Mansion, how can I be, Yu X has no such intention. Yu Zhishan said with a serious face.
"Hmph, that's a good thing to say, when you get to the east of Dao Yu, will you change your hexagram, anyway, I don't plan to retreat eastward, it's a big deal that I will go to the Songhua River to be a water bandit!" Jixing snorted coldly.
"You ......" Yu Zhishan's inflated face turned red, and then he turned his head to Zhang Jinghui and said, "Elder Zhang, you are highly respected, tell me where we should retreat." ”
Zhang Jinghui pondered for a moment and said: "I think it is feasible for Brother Lan Bo to retreat to the northeast, after all, once we withdraw to the east side of the road, I am staring at it, Zhang Xinghan will not attack us easily, and I also need our cooperation, so that we can be invincible." ”
As soon as Zhang Jinghui finished speaking, before Jixing could refute, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded outside.
The three of them were shocked, and they got up and walked out of the joint headquarters one after another, only to see that a scarlet and dazzling fire had risen in the northwest of Shuangyang County, and the huge explosion sound came from where.
It didn't take long for a puppet army commander to stagger over with a panicked look, and said before saluting: "Commander Yu, Commander Zhang, Commander Ji is not good, the Northeast New Army, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army has called." ”
"What? How can you be sure that it is Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army? Jixing asked in shock.
"Tanks, a lot of tanks, what attacked us just now was a large number of tanks, in addition to Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army in the northeast territory, there is also that army with such a large number of tanks and armored vehicles." The puppet legion leader said with a sad face.
Jixing, Yu Zhishan, and Zhang Jinghui all took a breath of cold air.
Ji Xing said: "Two, what do you think we should do next?" ”
"Otherwise, let's order the troops to surrender to Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army, so that maybe he can let us go, and maybe you can find an official position." Zhang Jinghui was already timid as a mouse, and suggested.
He knew that Wang Yizhe and Huang Xiansheng, the former generals of the Northeast Army, were now under Zhang Xinghan, and he took the initiative to surrender to Cheng With his previous friendship with these people, Zhang Xinghan should be able to bypass him this time.
Zhang Jinghui thought so, but Yu Zhishan and Jixing were different, they knew that they had done it against Zhang Xinghan, and they even had the blood of Zhang Xinghan's subordinates on their hands.
Zhang Xinghan will not let him go no matter what.
So as soon as Zhang Jinghui's words came out, the two immediately objected, and Yu Zhishan took the lead in shaking his head and said: "No, we must not surrender to Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, he will kill us." ”
"Yes, he will definitely not let us go, let's fight with him." Jixing also rarely breathed out of one nostril with Yu Zhishan, and nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid that there will be more than one bad luck if you fight hard." Zhang Jinghui frowned, and suggested: "Or, while they haven't besieged the city yet, let's lead our troops to break through, right?" ”
Zhang Jinghui said that the two of them moved in their hearts, no one wanted to wait for death here, and they also knew that these rabble under their command were by no means the opponents of Zhang Xinghan's elite division.
After a moment of silence, the two took their leave, leaving with the guards.
Zhang Jinghui also took his guards to gather his own troops, but unlike Jixing and Yu Zhishan who led their troops to escape, he went to order the troops to surrender.
…………………… Outside Shuangyang County, as time went by, the two main regiments of the motorized infantry division also arrived one after another and joined the battlefield.
Zhang Xinghan personally led the armored brigade to launch a fierce attack from the west and north of the city, and soon, the attacking armored soldiers found that the puppet army on the head of the city trembled and raised several white flags.
Zhang Xinghan, who was already planning to absorb the puppet army and expand its troops, hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the bombardment.
After a while, a voice came from the city: "Brothers of the Northeast New Army outside the city, stop fighting, our Commander Zhang Jinghui Zhang has decided to surrender to your army, please don't fight anymore......"
After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan immediately instructed Li Zhenyuan: "Tell them that I accept their surrender, let them raise their weapons and go out of the city one by one, and accept the incorporation." ”
"Yes" Li Zhenyuan was immediately ordered to move forward, and soon, the city gate, which had already been hit by the heavy fire of the armored brigade, was opened, and a group of puppet soldiers in khaki military uniforms walked out of the city in a line with weapons.
"Commander, two puppet armies have fled out of the city from the east and south of the city. A group of motorists is volleying. A communications soldier arrived on a side tricycle to report.
"Zhenyuan, I'll leave it to you here, I'll lead the troops to pursue." Zhang Xinghan instructed Li Zhenyuan.
"Don't worry, Commander." Li Zhenyuan nodded and reassured.
Zhang Xinghan turned his head to the signal soldier and said: "Order the 1st and 2nd Motorized Infantry Regiment to immediately pursue with all their might, and the attacking troops shout that they will surrender their guns and not kill them, so as to prompt the puppet army to surrender as much as possible. ”
"Yes!" The communications soldier immediately kicked the motorcycle, slammed the accelerator, turned around and galloped away quickly towards the east of the city.
Liu Zhenyu was left with a tank battalion, and Zhang Xinghan led two tank battalions and an air defense regiment to chase in the direction of the south of the city.
Jixing was the most unlucky, he led his troops out of the city from the south of the city, and just happened to meet a group of motorists who had just arrived in Shuangyang, and the two sides immediately started an exchange of fire.
The firepower of the Mobu regiment is not comparable to his rabble, under the firepower, Jixing brought out thousands of people with heavy casualties, Jixing led the remnants to flee around the city to the east.
The Mobu Regiment had received Zhang Xinghan's order at this moment, and Niu Erzhu led his troops to pursue immediately, and ordered the officers and soldiers to shout from time to time during the pursuit that they would surrender their guns and surrender to avoid death.
The puppet soldiers who were running slowly threw away their guns and knelt on the ground in surrender.
Ji Xing led his troops not far away, just arrived in the east of the city, and was intercepted by the 2nd Mobu Regiment, not only the troops were lost, but he himself became a prisoner of the 2nd Mobu Regiment.
Yu Zhishan's luck was better than Jixing's, he led his troops to retreat all the way from the east gate, because there was no new army interception at the east gate for the time being, so many puppet troops in the city followed from the east gate.
At first glance, there are really a lot of puppet troops who followed Yu Zhishan to retreat and flee for their lives.
However, Yu Zhishan's luck could not be maintained, and before he could escape from Wuli, Zhang Xinghan personally led a group of tanks and armored vehicles to chase after him.
The puppet army running behind was immediately frightened when they saw such a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and they fell to their knees and surrendered.
The puppet army behind Yu Zhishan became less and less, and with the arrival of two infantry regiments, Zhang Xinghan led the armored troops to withdraw and continue the pursuit.
Half an hour later, he finally caught up with Yu Zhishan and his remnants, Yu Zhishan raised his hands in despair and led his subordinates to surrender, and Zhang Xing and Hanming took him away.
The Battle of Shuangyang came to an end.
After nearly a day's statistics, the new army captured more than 43,000 puppet soldiers in this battle, killed and wounded thousands of people, and some puppet soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape and became stragglers.
Zhang Xinghan took all the more than 40,000 prisoners to Changchun, and at this time, the 14th and 10th divisions of the army had abandoned Siping and retreated to Shenyang.
Zhang Xinghan then ordered Wang Yicai to occupy Siping, and at the same time ordered Jiang Baili to stop the attack and withdraw to the Tongliao base area.
After returning to Changchun, Zhang Xinghan stationed the 1st Mobu Regiment in Jilin, and the 2nd and 3rd Mobu Regiments stayed in Changchun, and ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the armored brigade north along the Zhongchang Railway and began to prepare to recover Harbin and Qiqihar.
In order to ensure the strength of Jilin, at the same time, the 4th Mobu Division and the cavalry regiment directly under the headquarters were transferred to the Tongliao base area, and the guard battalion marched to Changchun.
The defense task of the base area was handed over to the third motorized infantry division led by Jiang Baili.
Within three days, Li Zhenyuan led the armored brigade to regain Dehui one after another, and the puppet armies in the nearby counties on both sides of the Zhongchang Railway also surrendered one after another, and sent people to Changchun to express to Zhang Xinghan that they were willing to join the Northeast New Army.
To the north, Zhao Zhenhe, the commander of the 24th Brigade of the original Reading Force, who was defeated by the Yue army a few months ago, led the remnants of the army to also take advantage of the situation to regain Qiqihar.
Changchun City, the Fourth Motorized Infantry Division, the Cavalry Regiment, and the Guard Battalion have all arrived one after another.
Zhang Xinghan immediately began to prepare for the reorganization of the 40,000 captive soldiers and the puppet army that had surrendered to the counties.
……………… At the same time, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Lushun, Dalian.
The commander of the 14th Division, Shunroku Hatata, who had retreated from Shenyang, and the commanders of the 10th, 2nd, and 6th Divisions had been ordered to gather in Lushun.
The entire North Manchurian region fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army, and the entire base camp was furious, and ordered Muto Nobuyoshi to prepare his troops and be ready to attack at any time.
In addition to starting to recruit and expand new troops on the mainland, the base camp also transferred the troops used in Shanghai to the northeast by sea, preparing to fight with all its might to recapture the newly lost North Manchuria.
