Chapter 253: An Opportunity

When Zhang Xinghan led his troops to Xingcheng, it was already evening. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the regiment that had escorted the prisoners from Chaoyang was also ordered to march west from Jinzhou to join the main force of the division.

So far, the strength of the Northeast New Army in Xingcheng has five infantry regiments, two tank regiments, and two artillery regiments, totaling more than 25,000 people.

Just after making a round around and returning to the headquarters that had just been set up, a communications soldier came out with a telegram in his hand, and saluted with a snap: "Commander, Wafangdian is in an emergency." ”

Zhang Xinghan put away his smile, hurriedly took the message, opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

(Pig) (Pig) The novel "Commander, what's wrong?" Liu Jianguo, who was accompanying him, asked when he saw this.

"The 2nd and 3rd divisions suffered too many casualties, and asked for reinforcements." Zhang Xinghan replied thoughtfully, and handed the telegram to Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo took the message and read it quickly, frowning and his expression became solemn.

"Commander, it seems that the situation in Wafangdian is indeed not optimistic, after all, they are facing 100,000 Japanese troops.

Otherwise, the old chiefs would not have easily sent this telegram asking for help. Liu Jianguo said with the telegram in his hand.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and walked towards the headquarters hall.

Liu Jianguo and Guo Zhong hurriedly followed.

Walking into the headquarters and coming to the map, Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette and frowned at the map in thought.

Liu Jianguo cautiously walked to the right side of his side, faced the map and said: "Commander, for today's plan, if you want to transfer reinforcements, you can only transfer them from Yingkou." ”

Zhang Xinghan didn't say anything, Liu Jianguo paused and continued: "Our side will definitely not be able to draw troops, and it will be too late, but outside Yingkou City, we still have two infantry divisions and one tank division,

And the number of devils in Yingkou City should not exceed 30,000.

It was suggested that if it was decided to send additional reinforcements to support Wafangdian, one or half divisions could be transferred. ”

Zhang Xinghan remained silent. Liu Jianguo also closed his mouth in amusement, as a subordinate, he had already said everything that should be said, as for how to make a decision, it was completely up to Zhang Xinghan.

After a long time, Zhang Xinghan stretched his brows and said with a smile: "There is." ”

"What's up?" Liu Jianguo asked curiously.

"A chance to defeat Zhang Shaoshuai completely." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.

"What chance?" Liu Jianguo was puzzled.

"Before I decided to come to Xingcheng, I had been thinking hard about how to deal a fatal blow to the Northeast Army, win the battle, and return to the division as soon as possible.

The Wafangdian rush gave me an inspiration. Zhang Xinghan paused and said: "Jianguo, you immediately notify Gao Chu to lead the 9th Division to reinforce Wafangdian in my name." Tell him to be loud and not afraid to reveal his whereabouts. ”

"In addition, I will order all regiments in the city to retreat to Jinzhou, and then retreat to Yingkou!"

"What do you mean, Commander?" Liu Jianguo seemed to understand a little, but he was not sure.

"Jianguo, if Zhang Xueliang knows that our Wafangdian defense line is in an emergency, he is forced to send reinforcements from Yingkou. And we are forced to return to the camp, how will he react? Zhang Xinghan asked.

"He'll feel like it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he really has a leg with the Japanese, then he should take advantage of the situation and direct the troops to pursue us in a big way. Join forces with the Japanese army at Yingkou and defeat us. Liu Jianguo said:"

However, how can we let Zhang Xueliang know this news and believe it. And not to be recognized? ”

Zhang Xinghan said calmly: "It's not that it should be, but it will, I said." Zhang Xueliang must hate me to the bone now, and he can't eat me alive.

If there is a crisis in our army, he will definitely seize the opportunity to inflict the enemy on our backs, so as to defeat us and avenge our revenge.

As for the news, we don't need to provide it at all, we can't hide it from the eyes and ears of the Japanese, and the Japanese will definitely inform Zhang Shaoshuai. ”

"Oh, the commander is wise!" Liu Jianguo nodded in realization, and then asked, "Then commander, where is the right place for us to set up an ambush?" ”

"Here!" Zhang Xinghan pointed to the map.

"Jinxian?" Liu Jianguo looked at the map and was taken aback.

"Yes, it is Jinxian County, which is bordered by Liaodong Bay in the south and Songling Mountain in the north, and is located in the throat area of the Liaoxi Corridor.

The most important thing is that it is located in the middle of the Liao River and the Daling River, imagine if the main force of the Northeast Army enters Jinxian, we will destroy all the bridges between the two rivers with the air force and ground armored forces.

The Northeast Army will inevitably be in chaos, and if it attacks it with air force and armored forces, it will surely win a complete victory! At that time, we can ask the young marshal to return to the customs. Zhang Xinghan smiled meaningfully and said: "By the way, give Gao Chu a telegram, let's wait for us to send it again in Jinzhou, so that we can act more realistically." ”

……………………

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, Gao Chu immediately led the regiments of the 9th Independent Division to evacuate Yingkou "cautiously".

Okamura Ninji has been paying close attention to the movements of the Tohoku New Army outside the city.

In addition, Gao Chu and Huang Xiansheng were very "careful", so Okamura Ningji got the news about the transfer of the Northeast New Army as soon as possible.

"Okamura-kun, now, can we immediately launch a counterattack against the Shina people?" At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Yingkou Castle, Kentaro Kuroto was the first to ask after listening to the report of the signal corps to Okamura Ninji.

"Well, the opportunity is almost ripe." Okamura Ninji's voice fell.

A Japanese communications lieutenant walked in in in a hurry, and suddenly stood up and saluted Okamura Ningji solemnly: "General, our army's agents in Jinzhou City have just sent urgent information. ”

"Oh? What intelligence? Okamura asked eagerly.

"The Chinese army in Jinzhou City has begun to withdraw eastward, and the agent guesses that the Chinese army is likely to want to return to Yingkou." The devil lieutenant replied.

"Evacuated? Accurate intelligence? Okamura Ninji's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

The devil lieutenant nodded seriously: "Absolutely accurate, otherwise our agents would not risk their lives to send this urgent telegram, the telegram said that the Zhina army in the city also includes the one who has just withdrawn from the direction of Xingcheng tonight, with a total strength of twenty or thirty thousand people,

Now that all of them have been evacuated from Jinzhou, Jinzhou has almost become an empty city. ”

Kentaro Kuroto, Taro Nakamura and others looked at each other, and they couldn't tell whether they were worried or happy.

They have basically regarded Okamura Ninji as their backbone now. So, all eyes were on him.

Okamura Ninji paced back and forth and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked again, "Lieutenant, are you sure that caution is absolutely accurate?" ”

The devil lieutenant nodded again and said, "Yes, general." ”

"Yo Xi, this time, the opportunity for the imperial army to turn defeat into victory has really come." Okamura Ninji suddenly praised the knot.

Kentaro Kuroto glanced at Nakajimamura in confusion and asked, "Okamura-kun, why did you say this?" ”

Okamura Ningji happily pointed to the map and said to the two: "The situation of the two generals, now the imperial army, Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army and Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, the three forces have become an endless situation.

Thankfully. The Northeast Army and the Northeast New Army had a personal feud because of the Battle of Chaoyang, and on another level, the Imperial Army had one more ally, even if this ally was only temporary.

Whether we can turn defeat into victory is now up to this ally.

The two generals should know that the power of the tank armored forces of the Northeast New Army, especially in field battles, is almost an insoluble existence for the Imperial Army.

Therefore, if there is no such ally, only 30,000 imperial troops in Yingkou City. I am not 100% sure that I will defeat the army outside the city and win this battle.

Even if you are lucky enough to win, you will inevitably pay a pretty heavy price, and you may not be able to fight any other battles. It may not help with the overall strategic situation.

And now it's not the same, you think about it, if we inform our allies of the real situation of the rear of the Northeast New Army in an emergency, forced to evacuate from Jinzhou.

What would that young marshal do with his strong blood? ”

Finish the last sentence. The corners of Okamura's mouth were already filled with a playful smile.

Nakajimamura reacted slightly faster than Kentaro Kuroto, and suddenly realized: "What does Okamura-kun mean, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight?" ”

"So to speak. As long as Zhang Xueliang orders the troops to pursue, we can join forces with it to deal with Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army, and attack inside and outside, even if Zhang Xinghan has the ability to reach the sky, he is powerless to return to the sky!

As long as Zhang Xinghan's Northeast New Army is solved, Zhang Xueliang will be much easier to deal with. Okamura Ninji said.

……………………

In Suizhong County, the vengeful Zhang Shaoshuai had already led Yu Xuezhong and other follow-up troops to arrive here overnight.

As the vanguard army, Zhang Zuoxiang was ordered to lead his troops to defeat the vicinity of Xingcheng.

Zhang Xueliang had just sat down on the bedroom bed prepared for him by the orderly, and after running around for most of the night, Zhang Shaoshuai was already very tired and planned to rest.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the bedroom.

Zhang Xueliang got up when he heard the sound, and the people from outside had already arrived at the door, and before he knocked on the door, he asked, "Who?" ”

"Young marshal, it's me, Dazhang!" Outside the door, the voice of the attendant adjutant Chen Dazhang was a little anxious.

Zhang Xueliang immediately opened the door, and Chen Dazhang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Dazhang, what's the matter, I see you are in such a hurry." Zhang Xue nodded and asked.

"Young Marshal, this is the chief of staff who has just received secret information, and he asked me to pass it on to you quickly." Chen Dazhang took out a telegram printed with the words top secret from the document bag he was carrying and handed it to Zhang Xueliang.

Zhang Xueliang took the telegram, turned around and opened it to look at it, the footsteps he had just taken suddenly froze, and after a long time, he turned around with an unusually excited expression and said to Chen Dazhang: "Dazhang, immediately send a telegram to Deputy Marshal Zhang in my name, and order him to quickly send troops to investigate Xingcheng and the enemy army in Jinzhou. ”

Zhang Xueliang's voice fell, and another signal soldier ran over in a hurry, saluting and reporting: "Young Marshal, Deputy Marshal Zhang is calling, Xingcheng has been taken by our army, and the telegram also reports that the Northeast New Army seems to have abandoned Jinzhou, and the situation is still being verified!" ”

Zhang Xueliang's excitement was beyond words, and he was sleepy, he picked up the military uniform and hat he had just taken off, and said: "Let's go, immediately convene Yu Xuezhong, Rong Jin, and He Zhuguo to come to the meeting, I have something important to announce." In addition, he immediately sent a telegram to Deputy Marshal Zhang, asking him to find out the specific situation in Jinzhou as soon as possible and report back quickly. ”

"Yes!" Chen Dazhang and the signal soldier stepped forward at the same time.

They gave way sideways, and after Zhang Xueliang walked out, they followed him left and right and left the bedroom.

More than ten minutes later, Yu Xuezhong, Rong Jin, He Zhuguo and others all arrived.

Chen Dazhang walked up to Zhang Xueliang with excitement and reported: "Young Marshal, Deputy Marshal Zhang has called back, he has already investigated clearly, the Northeast New Army has indeed given up Xingcheng and Jinzhou, and Jinzhou City is now an empty city.

Deputy Marshal Zhang is personally leading his troops to march to Jinzhou, which should arrive before dawn. ”

"Great." Zhang Xueliang slapped the table fiercely: "God really help me, Chief of Staff, it seems that the information given by the little devil is true, otherwise how could Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, easily give up the strategic place of Jinzhou?" ”

Rong Jin was also overjoyed, nodded and said: "Young marshal, most of the situation is true, I have secretly ordered our intelligence personnel to make every effort to verify it, and there will be news back after dawn at the latest." ”

"Young marshal, what information?" Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo were both at a loss.

Zhang Xueliang directly handed the telegram that Chen Dazhang gave him to Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguodao: "The two brothers will see for themselves." ”

After Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo finished reading it, their brows furrowed slightly and said, "Young marshal, this shouldn't be a trick of the little devil to seek his own tricks, right?" ”

"Trickery?" Zhang Xueliang shook his head when he heard this: "Impossible, the Japanese hate Zhang Xinghan more than me, how could they unite with Zhang Xinghan to design and calculate us?"

Didn't I say it just now, if it wasn't true, how could Zhang Xinghan be willing to give up the strategic place of Jinzhou? Doesn't he know how important Jinzhou is to both of us? ”

"But, young marshal, Zhang Xinghan is scheming, and the Japanese are not a good thing, so let's be careful." Yu Xuezhong persuaded.

Zhang Xueliang nodded and said: "At this point, Brother Yu can rest assured, no matter what, now Jinzhou and Xingcheng have become our bags, we can attack and retreat, and we are about to seize the initiative."

Didn't the chief of staff say just now, our intelligence officers are also working hard, and we will soon find out whether the defense line of the Northeast New Army in Wafangdian is really urgent.

Therefore, before that, I decided that we would first march to Jinzhou with the whole army, and then make a decision after the information was confirmed. ”

Zhang Xueliang said decently, Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others had to nod and agree.

Therefore, before dawn, Zhang Shaoshuai, who was in an excited mood and high spirits, took his officers and soldiers to continue to march to Jinzhou overnight despite the hardships.

It was dawn quickly, and the time was ten o'clock in the morning.

A river crossing point in the Jin County (now Linghai City) section of the Daling River.

Zhang Xinghan patted Liu Jianguo and Du Ting on the shoulders, looked at the more than 10,000 captive soldiers who had been assembled and on standby not far away, and said solemnly: "Two brothers, the strength is limited, I can only give you the strength of one regiment, you have to control these captive soldiers, remember, don't reveal to them any plan that we are going to ambush the Northeast Army."

Your task is to pretend to be the main force to cross the Liao River and pretend to return to Yingkou to reinforce Yingkou, which can deter the Japanese army in Yingkou and achieve our goal in this battle, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Well, please rest assured, Commander, we'll be careful." Liu Jianguo and Du Ting nodded one after another. (To be continued......)
