Chapter 365: Raiders Pingjin XII
About half an hour later, under the cover of night, He Zhuguo and Liu Duoquan each led dozens of elite guards to leave the headquarters and came to the Tianjin wharf. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the wharf, there was already a foreign merchant ship flying the Italian flag waiting for a long time, and with the response of acquaintances, the two led their subordinates to board the ship smoothly.
At the same time, the headquarters of the Northeast Army in the city of Tianjin.
Shen Ke and the others were waiting for He Zhuguo, he had just used the excuse of going out to do some things, but he had not returned.
Finally, Shen Ke waited a little impatiently, stood up, and shouted to the guards outside the door, "Guards, guards." ”
&%Pig%Pig%Island%Novel; A guard guarding the door hurriedly entered: "Sir, what are your orders?" ”
"Where has Commander He gone? Why haven't you come back yet? Shen Ke asked.
"Commander He left half an hour ago with dozens of his personal guards, and I don't know where I went." The guard replied truthfully and shook his head.
"Leaving with the guards?" Shen Ke was confused when he heard this, and Zhang Tingshu, Tao Dongfan and others present also looked at each other and discussed a lot.
Suddenly, Shen Ke suddenly realized, slapped his thigh and said, "It's not good, Commander He may have run away." ”
"Ran away?" Zhang Tingshu, Tao Dongfan and the others were taken aback when they heard this, and said in disbelief: "Can't it? ”
"I don't know, just send someone to see it." Shen Ke said, and arranged for people to look for it.
It didn't take long for someone to rush back and report: "Sir, I have searched all the temporary division headquarters of each division, but there is no trace of Commander He, and the commander of the 105th Independent Division, Liu Duoquan, and his guards are also missing." ”
"It seems that Commander He and Liu Duoquan escaped alone." Shen Kedao.
Zhang Tingshu and the others were obviously a little unacceptable, and they were all angry and shocked.
Shen Ke pondered for a while, then turned to Zhang Tingshu and the others, who had not yet come back to their senses: "Everyone, since Commander He has abandoned everyone and fled for his life alone, we can't sit back and delay time any longer. ”
Zhang Tingshu glanced at Tao Dongfan and the others, and Tao Dongfan said to Shen Ke: "Master Shen, you can make an idea." What do we do now? ”
………………
In Beiping City, Zhang Xinghan had just finished dinner, and the communication soldiers rushed in, and they didn't have time to salute and said: "Commander, commander, good news, the Northeast Army in Tianjin City has called, they have decided to surrender to us." ”
"Really?" Zhang Xinghan obviously didn't expect that the Northeast Army in Tianjin would agree so quickly.
He immediately stood up and instructed the signal soldiers: "You immediately send a telegram to Huang Xiansheng and Sabuli and them, tell them the news, and immediately prepare to accept the surrender of the Northeast Army in the city." Received Tianjin City Defense.
After surrendering, I will send all the generals of the Northeast Army at the division level in the city to Beiping City, and I will personally receive them. ”
"Yes." The signal soldier couldn't suppress the joy on his face, nodded immediately, turned around and left.
After the two sides passed the telegram, at about 9 o'clock in the evening, the Northeast Army in the city received an order to lay down its arms and go out of the city to surrender.
These officers and men in Northeast China, who had long been unwilling to fight, carried out the order cleanly and thoroughly.
Nearly 70,000 prisoners of the Northeast Army walked out of the city from three directions and surrendered to the units of the Northeast Frontier Army outside the city.
At about twelve o'clock in the evening, the surrender operation was basically over. More than 60,000 prisoners of the Northeast Army were all controlled by the Northeast Frontier Army, and at the same time, Liu Jianguo's command post was fully stationed in Tianjin.
On the official road from Tianjin to Beiping, two military trucks full of soldiers escorted a car in the direction of Beiping.
The dazzling light stood out in the darkness. Like two dazzling dragons of light.
In the compartment of the car in the middle, there were several lieutenant generals and several officers with the rank of major general. Zhang Tingshu and others are impressively listed.
They are the brigade-level officers of the divisions and brigades of the Northeast Army in Tianjin who have just surrendered.
"Master Shen, you said that as soon as you surrendered, they took us to Beiping. Zhang Xinghan won't do anything to us, right? Zhang Tingshu asked Shen Ke, who was sitting opposite him, with some concern.
Shen Ke leaned his back against the carriage and said indifferently: "Don't worry, no, not only will he not harm us, but he will also reuse us." ”
"Oh? How can Master Shen see it? Zhang Tingshu asked with some curiosity.
"For if he does us harm, no one in the world will dare to surrender to them from now on.
Therefore, in order to create a good reputation for himself, he will not only not harm us, but will also use us really, so as to show that he has a big heart and does not care about past suspicions. Shen Ke explained.
Zhang Tingshu and the others nodded again and again when they listened, it was true.
At the same time as the Battle of Tianjin was successfully concluded, the pursuit of the 53rd Army by Ge Quanwu's new division was also forced to stop when it was dark.
At night, it was much easier for the remnants of the 53rd Army to escape.
However, at this point, Ge Quanwu's recruits have also gained a very rich harvest, and the more than 40,000 troops of the 53rd Army have fled in the daytime battle, and more than 30,000 people have been captured, and the troops around Wan Fulin are not even a regiment.
When he withdrew to the area of Wei County and Guangling County, the total number of defeated troops collected was less than 10,000 people, of course, this is a later story.
Beiping City, the Young Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Xinghan had just finished reading the good news sent by Ge Quanwu, and he was very happy to let the communication corps reply to reward Ge Quanwu and others.
As soon as the signal soldiers left, a guard walked in quickly and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu and other captured generals of the Northeast Army have arrived. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Xinghan stood up with a look of surprise and said, "Go, come with me to meet them in person." ”
Outside the gate of the Young Marshal's Mansion, the officers and men accompanying the escort on the two military trucks in front and behind had already jumped down first, guarding the front and back of the vehicles.
And more than a dozen lieutenant generals and major generals such as Shen Ke, Zhang Tingshu, and Tao Dongfan also jumped out of the car one after another.
Looking around, Tao Dongfan was a little surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this the Young Marshal's Mansion?" ”
Shen Ke's expression was a little gloomy and said: "It's the Young Marshal's Mansion, but he has changed hands now." ”
As soon as Shen Ke finished speaking, they heard a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and everyone looked back to see a young officer in a general's uniform striding towards them with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, it's been hard all the way, I don't know which one is Shen Ke Shen, which one is Zhang and Tao?" As soon as Zhang Xinghan stepped out of the threshold of the gate, he asked loudly with a smile.
I saw Zhang Xinghan wearing a brand-new general's uniform. How could Shen Ke and the others not know who the person who came, they immediately stepped forward and saluted Zhang Xinghan and said, "I have seen Commander-in-Chief Zhang at a low level. ”
"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome. Xinghan has admired your name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is enough to comfort my life! Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.
"Commander-in-Chief Zhang raised me to wait, and the contempt is Shen Ke, the commander of the 106th Independent Division." After Shen Ke introduced himself, he pointed sideways to Zhang Tingshu, Tao Dongfan and others to introduce Zhang Xinghan one by one.
Zhang Xinghan smiled and shook hands with them one by one, and after some greetings, everyone felt that Zhang Xinghan was more approachable than they expected. Much more enthusiastic.
He put his mind at ease and followed Zhang Xinghan into the Young Marshal's Mansion, which is now Zhang Xinghan's temporary headquarters.
Walking into the living room, there were orderly soldiers who had already prepared tea.
After Zhang Xinghan beckoned everyone to sit down, he cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "Colleagues, you are well aware of the great righteousness, attach importance to the national righteousness, and stop fighting as a jade silk, so that tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Tianjin citizens will not be devastated by the war.
Xinghan admired it so much. Please rest assured, I will not lack your position and military power, and I hope that from today onwards. You can work together to serve the country and work hard for the Chinese nation. ”
Everyone obviously didn't expect Zhang Xinghan to be so refreshing, and they were surprised. Everyone was overjoyed, and Shen Ke took the lead in standing up and expressed his attitude to Zhang Xinghan: "Thanks to Commander-in-Chief Zhang's love." From today onwards, we will do our best to serve the country under the leadership of you, Commander-in-Chief. ”
Zhang Xinghan smiled and waved his hand and said: "You have joined my Northeast Frontier Army, first, I welcome you home, and second, from today we are brothers in Paoze, and we are both loyal to the country and dealt with the nation, regardless of each other, without distinction between each other." ”
Although Zhang Xinghan was so polite, Shen Ke and the others did not dare to hold it up, and they all got up and swore allegiance to Zhang Xinghan.
Zhang Xinghan nodded and smiled, he naturally didn't dare to guarantee that all the dozen or so senior generals of the Northeast Army would return to him so quickly.
But he was confident that over time, he would make them loyal to him.
As the saying goes, without the diamond diamond, you don't dare to take on porcelain work, since you dare to take them in, give them military power, and entrust them to reuse, Zhang Xinghan is not afraid that he can't control them.
His own secrecy bureau is not a vegetarian.
Moreover, these surrendered and captured troops of the Northeast Army, he did not intend to stay outside the pass, but to bring them back to the Northeast.
Just as he said just now, letting them go home should be the thing that the grassroots officers and men of the Northeast Army are most eager for at this time.
After this is done, all the officers and soldiers in the Northeast will be grateful to Dade and have a good impression of them.
Early the next morning, the complete results were counted.
According to the reports and summaries of the various units, in this battle, the Northeast Frontier Army captured more than 103,000 people, of which 68,000 surrendered directly in Tianjin.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the 200th and 203rd Divisions captured three artillery brigades of the Northeast Army and more than 200 large and small artillery pieces, which is a small surprise.
In addition to this, the captured old rifles, machine guns numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and the bullets were even more incalculable.
After this battle, the Northeast Army's forces in the Pingjin area were uprooted, and after removing the fleeing, killed and captured, the Northeast Army still had two complete cavalry divisions, plus the remnants of Wan Fulin, with a total strength of less than 30,000.
The Northeast Army, adapted from the warlords, relied on the survival of the Zhang father and son, and the once powerful Northeast Army disappeared and ceased to exist, which was withdrawn from the stage of history.
However, Major Marshal Zhang also stationed two fleets of the navy in Qingdao, with more than 3,000 people and more than a dozen large and small warships.
After dawn, Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to escort the prisoners out of the pass in batches and return to the northeast, and at the same time ordered all troops to continue to maintain a fighting state and be ready to meet the Jin Sui army, the Shandong army and the Central Army that might go north from Baoding and Cangzhou.
As soon as the 110,000-odd officers and men in the Northeast who had been captured heard that they were going back to the Northeast, they were all overjoyed, cheering and jumping, and they were very cooperative.
Therefore, the Northeast Frontier Army only needed a very small number of troops to escort them out of the customs, and Zhang Xinghan also sent a telegram to Zhao Zhenfan, ordering him to send some troops to prepare to assist in the response.
……………………
The Pingjin area changed hands overnight, and after receiving the news, the Jin Sui Army, which was closest to Pingjin, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central Army, immediately stopped advancing and stood by.
At the same time, the situation was quickly reported to Yan Xishan and Chairman Jiang in Nanjing.
Taiyuan City, Yan Xishan listened to the report of the attendant adjutant Xu Youde, the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand fell to the ground, shattered, and said with a shocked face: "What, what do you say?" Pingjin lost? ”
Xu Youde nodded and said: "Yes, Chairman, the 170,000 Northeast Army, nearly 120,000 were captured, the rest died and escaped, and there were less than 30,000 survivors, and Pingjin and the surrounding vast areas all fell into the hands of the Northeast Border Army." ”
Yan Xishan's mouth opened slightly, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "Zhang Xinghan, this little bastard, amazing, amazing, hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops are so vulnerable in front of him, it's really incredible." ”
At the same time, in the office of the official residence of Chairman Chiang in Nanjing.
Jiang Gong also stood up from his chair suddenly, and said in surprise: "Cixiu, what did you say?" Beiping lost? ”
Chen Cheng, who came to report, nodded: "Not only Beiping, but even Tianjin was captured by Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army, and it was taken bloodlessly. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Chairman Jiang asked with a dark face.
After Chen Cheng truthfully reported the information he had, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but be angry: "Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, what kind of soldiers did Zhang Hanqing's subordinates raise?" Fighting the Japanese, fighting the Japanese is not good, and fighting with Zhang Xinghan is even more muddy, and the 170,000 army is so vulnerable? ”
Chen Cheng lowered his head and muttered for a moment and said: "Although the combat strength of the Northeast Army is very different from that of the Northeast Frontier Army, but if you really fight to the death, the war will not end so quickly. ”
"After all, with Zhang Hanqing, they couldn't go back to their homes and were forced to leave their hometowns, but it was different after surrendering to the Northeast Frontier Army, they could not only go home, but also continue to serve as soldiers and eat food in such a division of a hundred battles.
That's why so many Northeast Army surrendered as prisoners. ”
Chairman Jiang nodded noncommittally, Chen Cheng's analysis was reasonable.
"What do we do next?" Chen Cheng asked.
"Didn't the intelligence say that the Northeast Army still has two cavalry divisions? Tell Xu Tingyao to follow the orders of the central government and reorganize them! Chairman Jiang said angrily.
