When a person thinks about things to a certain extent, the brain will protest because of excessive exhaustion.

Zhang Xinghan's brain was protesting to him at this moment, and the headache and sleepiness swept over like a tide.

Zhang Xinghan leaned on the seat in the box and fell asleep, and when he woke up, the knock on the door of the accompanying cavalry woke him up: "Master, it's time to Harbin." ”

"Oh, got it." Zhang Xinghan got up when he heard the sound, stretched his waist, picked up the round felt hat on the table and deliberately lowered the brim, and got out of the car with a few accompanying cavalry.

When Zhang Xinghan and his entourage secretly returned to the temporary garrison of the cavalry battalion, the time had already reached the early morning of the next day.

"Master, you can count it back." Sabuli personally greeted him.

"How's it going, is everything alright?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.

"Everything is fine, General Zhao Zhenhe, deputy commander of the 24th Brigade of Reading Force, has wanted to find you many times, but he has been pushed back, I heard that General Li Du, General Xing Zhanqing, and Feng Zhanhai, the envoy of Yilan Town, have returned to Harbin and are waiting to see you." Sabu said.

"Well, I see, we'll go into the city to meet them later, by the way, did the air force go well yesterday's air raid?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

According to the news from the base areas, yesterday Captain Gao Zhihang led our air force to annihilate more than 100 fighters of the Kwantung Army and did his best to destroy the Dalian airfield.

In addition, it also sank and damaged more than 20 naval vessels and a large number of military supplies, and now the air force has completely dominated the skies of Liaoning. Sabuli said excitedly.

"Really? Good job. Zhang Xinghan's heart fell to the ground, and it seems that the Zero fighter did not disappoint him.

"Okay, you send someone into the city to inform General Li Du first, and we will enter the city to meet them later." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and commanded.

"Yes."

……………… More than half an hour later, Zhang Xinghan simply washed up, and after breakfast, he entered Harbin City with Sabuli and a cavalry squad.

Li Du, Zhao Zhenhe, and Xing Zhanqing, who had already received the notice, had already Feng Zhanhai already waited outside the Harbin Municipal Axe Gate for a long time.

Surrounded by the cavalry, Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli rode their horses to the street outside the municipal axe gate, far away.

Sabuli pointed at Li Du and the others who were standing outside the gate of the political axe with a horsewhip: "Master, you see, the person at the head is General Li Du, the guard of Yilan Town. ”

Zhang Xinghan fixed his eyes and saw an officer about fifty years old, with a burly figure, a Chinese face, and a pair of sword eyebrows with bright eyes.

Zhang Xinghan immediately turned over and dismounted, and Li Du, Feng Zhanhai and others over there also hurriedly greeted him.

When he came to the front, Zhang Xinghan took the lead in standing up and saluting: "The National Revolutionary Army Tongliao resisted and rescued Zhang Xinghan, the commander of the [***] Reading Division. ”

"National Revolutionary Army, Commander of the 24th Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Army." Li Du saluted back, and then pointed sideways at a middle-aged officer beside him and said, "This is Colonel Feng Zhanhai, head of the Self-Defense Regiment of the Provincial Office of the Jilin Provincial Border Army. ”

"This is General Xing Zhanqing, commander of the 26th Brigade of Reading Power." Li Du pointed to Xing Zhanqing beside Feng Zhanhai again.

"Commander Feng, General Xing and General Li are all patriots with the country in mind, rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, and admiring the name for a long time." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.

"General Zhang has won the award, the name of General Zhang, we are like thunder, the first battle of Shenyang, the general became famous in the first war, and he was ashamed of the country and the nation, and he is really a model for my generation." Li Du said with a serious face: "However, what Li didn't expect is that the general is so young, it is really terrifying, and I have a young and handsome man like Division Commander Zhang in the northeast, which is really the luck of 30 million people outside the Guan, and the luck of the nation." ”

"The general praised it so much, and Xinghan deserved it." Zhang Xinghan said modestly.

"You can definitely afford it." Li Du turned sideways and said, "Please General Zhang come in and speak." ”

"Please!" Zhang Xinghan also invited him, and then walked side by side with Li Du and others into the municipal axe.

After entering a conference room in the Municipal Axe Building, a soldier had already brought tea to Zhang Xinghan and them.

After everyone sat down, Li Du took the lead in speaking: "Last night, I was shocked to hear that the air force commanded by the general actually attacked Lushun, causing heavy losses to myself, dare to ask the general if the news is true?" ”

"It's true." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said: "At present, in the name of protecting the bridge and protecting the road, it has gathered more than 300,000 troops from 12 permanent divisions and regiments to increase the troops in the northeast, and its strategic purpose is self-evident, in order to gain more preparation time to meet the next important battle.

I have specially ordered the air force to launch an air attack on the assembled Syrian army in Lushun at any cost, with the aim of delaying the build-up of the Japanese army. ”

Li Du and the others glanced at each other and nodded, and then Feng Zhanhai said, "I don't know what General Zhang's plans are to come to Kazakhstan this time?" ”

Zhang Xinghan glanced at everyone and said: "I can't hide it, Xinghan's trip is to unite you to form a more powerful anti-Japanese armed force in the three eastern provinces, strengthen the strength of our anti-Japanese armed forces, and resist the heavy army of the Chinese army that invades China on a large scale." ”

Li Du and the three of them looked at each other, and Xing Zhanqing said, "I don't know what General Zhang's specific thoughts are?" ”

"After the First Battle of Changchun, the general's 26th Brigade and General Li's 24th Brigade have suffered heavy losses and have been injured.

Therefore, my suggestion is that the three officers and soldiers of each department should return to Tongliao with me, and we should form a force to resist and rescue [***], and concentrate our forces to resist the army, so that there is a way out. Zhang Xinghan tried the way of the surname.

"Is Senior Commander Zhang asking us to give up Jilin?" Li Du said expressionlessly.

"Give up for now, and when he says we have enough strength, come back and regain the lost ground." Zhang Xinghan said without hesitation.

"Nope." Li Du unexpectedly directly rejected Zhang Xinghan's suggestion.

Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but looked at Li Du with an inquiring gaze.

In the end, he said puzzledly: "I know that you are all patriotic generals who care about the people of the country, but at present, it is urgent to join forces to build a joint effort to resist and save [***], rather than divide the troops and be broken by each of them, and finally lose the city and lose the land, it is better for us to concentrate our forces first and hold the strategy of Tongliao as an important place for the development of resistance and rescue, so as to make a long-term plan." ”

After a long time, Li Du raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Xinghan and said: "General Zhang used to say that there were only thousands of remnants of the military and police under his command, and he did not hesitate to raise the city to fight a bloody battle in order to protect Shenyang.

Now, how can we abandon Jilin without a fight? ”

"In the first battle of Changchun, because of the defection of Ding Chao, a bastard, Xiqia and Jixing, these traitorous thieves, took a big advantage, and did not cut down all of them to commemorate the brothers who died in my aid to Shen's troops, so I gave Jilin away, I was really unwilling, and I didn't agree to withdraw to Tongliao." Xing Zhanqing then said.

Feng Zhanhai wanted to speak and stopped, although he knew that in terms of the overall strategic situation of the future resistance, it was undoubtedly the most correct choice to withdraw to Tongliao and join forces with Zhang Xinghan.

Because even if they can't hold it in Tongliao, they can calmly retreat to the northwest and retreat to Guannei.

But what Li Du and Xing Zhanqing said also makes sense, let so many troops give up their hometown to Han annihilation like Xiqia and Jixing, and no one is reconciled.

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment and said to the three of them: "In this case, Xinghan is not reluctant, but before leaving, I want to help you capture Changchun and pacify the rebels." ”

"Capture Changchun?" Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and the others were all taken aback and looked at each other.

…………………… Tongliao Reading Division.

Su Hanyun, deputy company commander and chief communications soldier of the communications company, walked out of the tent of the communications company with a message in his hand and walked into the war room of the division headquarters.

Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan went out to be busy recruiting new soldiers, and Huang Xiansheng, the deputy division commander in the headquarters, was alone.

"Report to the deputy division, call from the division!" Su Hanyun stepped forward and saluted.

"Oh? What does Xinghan say? Huang Xiansheng got up and asked.

"There is an order from the division, and the flight team immediately flew to Harbin Majiagou Airport to stand by." Su Hanyun said.

"Oh, I see." Huang Xiansheng nodded, reached out to pick up the telephone and connected to the phone at Tongliao Airport, and gave some instructions to Gao Zhihang before hanging up the phone.

Seeing that Su Hanyun hadn't left yet, Huang Xiansheng asked in surprise, "Why Lieutenant Su, are you still in trouble?" ”

"Shishiza, I want to take half a day off." Su Hanyun said.

"Leave?" Huang Xiansheng also heard that the relationship between the beautiful deputy company commander of the division communication company and the younger brother of the division seat was a little unusual, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to come back early." ”

"Yes, thank you, Vice-Master."

………………………… Harbin Majiagou Airport.

Ten Zero fighters and five Stuka dive bombers landed at Majiagou Airport one after another under the leadership of Liu Cuigang, deputy captain of the flight group and leader of the first detachment.

On the roof of the bungalow of the airport air station, looking at the combat planes that landed smoothly, Zhang Xinghan turned his head to Li Du and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, these combat planes are the bombers and fighters who have just participated in the air raid on Lushun, and in the next battle, they will provide you with strong air fire support to help you defeat the Changchun rebels and capture Changchun." ”

Li Du and the others all looked at the fighters on the airport with envy, and nodded excitedly: "Thank you Division Commander Zhang for your help, with the help of the Air Force, we can easily capture Changchun." ”

"By the way, the remnants of Ding Chao who fled to the Songyuan area have been completely wiped out by our cavalry regiment, and the brigade commander Ding Chao was cut off by the head of the regimental commander, which can be regarded as avenging the thousands of officers and soldiers who died under Changchun City." Zhang Xinghan said suddenly.

"Ding Chao is dead?" Li Du and Xing Zhanqing all looked at Zhang Xinghan in surprise.

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded in confirmation.

"It's too cheap, this old thing is said to be a dog, and Lao Tzu still wants to split him with his own hands." Xing Zhanqing gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go to the front first." Zhang Xinghan proposed.
