In the direction of Shanhaiguan, because this is an important pass for the Northeast Army to defend the Northeast Frontier Army outside the Guan, He Zhuguo's 57th Army has been stationed here since two years ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After learning of the abnormal movement of the Northeast Army outside the Guan, Yu Xuezhong, He Zhuguo and others urgently transferred more than 20,000 people from the four brigades of Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division from Tangshan to the Qinhuangdao area.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army had been reorganized into three armies since the beginning of the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1933), with a total of more than 170,000 troops, which was two armies less than in history.

The three armies are the main force of the Northeast Army, namely Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army (formerly the 1st Army), Wan Fulin's 53rd Army, and He Zhuguo's 57th Army.

&nbs Island > Novel; In addition, there are two independent infantry divisions, namely Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division and Shen Ke's independent 106th Division.

There are also four cavalry divisions, namely the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th cavalry divisions, and the division commanders are Zhang Chengde, Guo Xipeng, Li Fuhe, and Bai Fengxiang.

On the artillery side, there are three brigades, namely the 6th Artillery Brigade, Brigade Commander Wang Hehua, the 7th Artillery Brigade, Brigade Commander Qiao Fang, and the 8th Artillery Brigade, Brigade Commander Huang Yongan.

There are also several cadres such as engineers, baggage, signal troops and ironclad car brigades. and the first section of the Navy stationed in the port of Qingdao.

All of them were titled the infantry of the National Revolutionary Army, and the original independent brigades were changed to division numbers, and the establishment remained the same.

In terms of military deployment, in addition to He Zhuguo's 57th Army deployed in the direction of Shanhaiguan, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army was stationed in Pingjin as a garrison force, Wan Fulin's 53rd Army was mainly stationed in Miyun, and Huairou was equal to the Rehe border area, which was used to guard against the Northeast Frontier Army and the old headquarters of the Northwest Army in the direction of Rehe and Chahar.

The 106th Independent Division and several cavalry divisions were stationed in the area south of Pingjin to defend against the Jin Sui Army, the remnants of Shi Yousan and the Central Army.

Coupled with Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division, the Northeast Army's strength on the front line of Shanhaiguan has surpassed Liu Wan's strength.

……………………

In Suizhong County, Huang Xiansheng has personally led the main force of the 200th Division to station here.

They were waiting for the 2nd Tank Division and the 3rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, and at the same time, they also needed to reconnoiter the movements of the Northeast Army in Shanhaiguan.

In the temporary division headquarters. Division commander Huang Xiansheng was discussing the military situation with several subordinates.

Mi Xiong, the commander and chief of staff of the Second Regiment, pointed to the map and said: "Division, according to the information that our army has, the 57th Army, which is still stationed in Shanhaiguan and Funing, has four divisions and a total of more than 40,000 people. ”

Mi Xiong is Huang Xiansheng's old subordinate when he was the head of the Liaoning Provincial Security Department, and he is also a patriotic young general who is determined to resist the country.

So when Huang Xiansheng joined Zhang Xinghan's command to resist Japan, he took his old department to Huang Xiansheng, and after a series of reorganization and Huang Xiansheng's intentional cultivation, he is now the chief of staff of the 200th Division and the commander of the second regiment.

Of course, Mickey Bear himself is also a good fighter. Extraordinary bravery.

Otherwise, even if Huang Xiansheng intended to cultivate, without Zhang Xinghan's nod, he would not be able to sit in this position.

"It is very likely that our movements have been known to the enemy, and the possibility of them increasing their troops cannot be ruled out." Huang Xiansheng looked at the map and said in a deep voice.

Mi Xiong and the others were silent, it was true, but they still didn't know what the situation was in the Guannai now.

At this moment, a guard walked in and saluted Huang Xiansheng and said, "Master, someone from the Secret Bureau is here." ”

"Oh?" Huang Xiansheng was stunned when he heard this. Immediately, he said, "Where?" Let him come to me. ”

The news of Zhang Xinghan's transformation of the reconnaissance battalion into a secret bureau has spread throughout all departments of the Northeast Frontier Army, and everyone knows that the secret bureau is their intelligence secret service organization.

When they came, they might have important information for themselves, so Huang Xiansheng was eager to be surprised.

The guards turned and walked out. After a while, a young man walked in.

"Cheng Bin, deputy director of the subordinate Secrecy Bureau, has met General Huang." The young man saluted with a bang, Shen Xingye, the director of the Secret Bureau, was a major general, and his military rank was colonel, which was much lower than Huang Xiansheng in terms of seniority and rank. So there is no big shelf, and the demeanor is respectful.

Huang Xiansheng looked at Cheng Bin, because he was not often on the road. So Huang Xiansheng really didn't dare to know him.

But since they were able to enter, they must have already shown their identity to the guards, otherwise the guards would not have come to report.

Huang Xiansheng returned the salute with a smile, shook hands with him and said, "I didn't know that Deputy Director Cheng was here, Huang was disrespectful, disrespectful, and disrespectful." ”

Cheng Bin smiled and said: "Where is the general, I am ordered to come and provide you with the latest information, so that our army can move, and the general is not polite." ”

"Oh? The latest information? Is it about Kannai? Huang Xiansheng asked happily in his heart, he was worried about this matter.

Cheng Bin nodded and said: "Yes, according to the latest information obtained by my Secret Bureau, the Northeast Army in the Pingjin area has learned the whereabouts of our army and has increased its vigilance, and they have just transferred Liu Duoquan's independent 105th Division from Tianjin, and the garrison of the Northeast Army in Shanhaiguan has exceeded 60,000 people, and its strength has been greatly strengthened." ”

"Really?" Huang Xiansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked Cheng Bin and said: "Deputy Director Cheng, your information is really timely, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the officers and men of the 200th Division." ”

Cheng Bin said: "The general's words are serious, providing accurate military intelligence for our army is within the scope of our Secret Bureau, the general does not need to thank him, he still has a task in his humble position, so he will not stay longer and leave." ”

"Mi Staff!" Huang Xiansheng turned his head and ordered, "Send off Deputy Director Cheng for me." ”

"Yes." Mi Xiong hurriedly responded, and said to Cheng Bin: "Deputy Director Cheng, please." ”

After sending Cheng Bin away, Mi Xiong came back, saw Huang Xiansheng frowning at the map, and said: "Division, the 57th Army of Shanhaiguan was originally He Zhuguo's elite troops, and now there is Liu Duoquan, this guy turned out to be Zhang Shaoshuai's descendant of the guard, brave in battle, a fierce general, and his independent 105th Division is also one of the few remaining elite divisions in the Northeast Army."

This battle may not be as easy as we expected. ”

Huang Xiansheng nodded undeniably: "He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan are both talents, and most of their subordinates are well-equipped elite divisions, and their troops have an absolute advantage over us."

For the sake of safety, I decided to suspend the advance of the whole division, send a telegram to Liu Jianguo, and ask him to speed the 203rd Division westward to join us.

Gather all the forces of our two infantry divisions, one tank division and one air division and then attack Shanhaiguan to ensure that this battle can smoothly take Shanhaiguan and open the gate to enter the customs. ”

"That's the safest thing to do." Mi Xiong and Deputy Division Commander Niu Erzhu both nodded in agreement.

……………………

In Shanhaiguan Guancheng, a large number of officers and soldiers from Northeast China were armed with live ammunition and stood guard and patrolled at the gate.

A group of officers and men from the northeast armed with submachine guns walked up to the city, followed by several high-ranking officers in generals' uniforms.

They are Liu Duoquan, commander of the 105th Independent Division, Zhang Tingshu, commander of the 112th Division of the 57th Army, Tao Dongfan, commander of the 115th Division, and others.

The 57th Division has four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, namely the 109th, 112th, 115th and 120th divisions, and the cavalry division is numbered the 3rd Division.

Among them, the commander of the 109th Division was concurrently served by Army Commander He Zhuguo, the commander of the 120th Division was Chang Jingwu, and the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division was Wang Qifeng.

First of all, his 105th Division is a combat unit under the direct control of Zhang Xueliang like the 57th Army, although he is the division commander, he is already at the same level as He Zhuguo.

And Liu Duoquan is Zhang Xueliang's personal guard, and he is his confidant, and his status is of course higher than that of Zhang Tingshu and others.

He Zhuguo is not there, and all the divisions in Shanhaiguan are basically under his control, and He Zhuguo, who stayed in Beiping, has already greeted Zhang Tingshu, Taodong Fan and other subordinates.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Duoquan arrived in Qinhuangdao, he accompanied Zhang Tingshu and others to inspect Shanhaiguan, so as to encourage the morale of the army to improve their morale and prepare for the battle to hold Shanhaiguan.

Second, they came out to inspect the various units under them, and declared their command authority to them, and liaise with them and the feelings of the military commanders of the various units on the front line, so as to facilitate their future command.

Walking up to the head of Shanhaiguan City, Zhang Tingshu pointed to the railway and official road outside the pass and said: "Division Commander Liu, I have already sent several groups of scout troops here, once the enemy attacks, I can report back in time." ”

Liu Duoquan nodded, held the telescope and looked ahead, and said meaningfully: "It's a pity that the great rivers and mountains in the Guannai fell into the hands of Zhang Xinghan like this." ”

"By the way, Master Zhang, where is the enemy now?" Liu Duoquan put down the binoculars and asked.

"According to intelligence, they have arrived in Suizhong, but they did not continue to advance, and they were stationed in Suizhong." Zhang Tingshu replied.

"How many troops are there in the enemy, and who is the commander leading the team?" Liu Duoquan turned around and continued to walk forward, asking as he walked.

"The enemy is the 200th Division stationed in Jinzhou and Dalian, and the division commander is Huang Xiansheng." Zhang Tingshu replied truthfully.

"Huang Xiansheng?" Liu Duoquan was a little surprised, and immediately snorted indignantly: "The young marshal loves him so much, he doesn't think about reciprocating, but he becomes a traitor and takes refuge in Zhang Xinghan, and now he leads his troops to fight back, he is really an ungrateful person." ”

Huang Xiansheng, Wang Yizhe, Zhao Zhenfan and other veteran generals of the Northeast Army defected to Zhang Xinghan's command, and Zhang Tingshu and others were all clear.

They all gathered under Zhang Xinghan's anti-Japanese banner for the sake of resisting Japan, but it is really serious to say that they are traitors.

However, Zhang Tingshu, Tao Dongfan and others didn't dare to cry out for Huang Xiansheng in front of Liu Duoquan, so they just nodded silently and remained silent.

After inspecting for a while, Taodong Fan said: "Senior Commander Liu, you must have worked very hard all the way to the army, I asked people to prepare wine and food for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, why don't we go back first, how about talking about military affairs while eating?" ”

Liu Duoquan also felt that this was a good opportunity to win people's hearts, so he nodded: "Then Liu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." (To be continued......)
