Chapter 1: Rebirth of the North Camp

Next Chapter

In the early morning, in the barracks of Fengtian City and Beidaying, smoke rose from the cooking room, and the soldiers on the field shouted like thunder. Zhang Xinghan stood in the field in front of the barracks in military uniform, looking at the officers and soldiers who were doing morning exercises, and his heart was full of flavors.

Just half a month ago, Zhang Xinghan fell into a mountain stream during a field military exercise and died unexpectedly, and when Zhang Xinghan woke up, he found himself lying in the barracks of a military camp.

In his previous life, as a Chinese A-level special forces, he was no stranger to the barracks, but the scene in front of him was very different from the barracks he was in before his death, with no smooth lime walls and no bright light bulbs.

The whole barracks was a little dim, a few small wattage yellow bulbs gave a faint light, and the limestone brick floor was particularly cold.

After some communication with the people around him, Zhang Xinghan learned that his current identity is the commander of the third battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th Brigade of the Northeast Army, although he fell into the mountain stream and died accidentally in the accident, he came to the northeast in September 1931 (the 20th year of the Republic of China) and became a battalion commander of the Northeast Army.

Standing in the field Zhang Xinghan can not calm down for a long time, Zhang Xinghan has been nervous for half a month, the day of his arrival is September 1, 1931, pinching his fingers, half a month has passed, the national shame that countless Chinese sons and daughters will never forget is coming on September 18.

However, there was not a trace of nervous preparation for war in the entire Beida Battalion, not that the officers and men of the Seventh Brigade did not know that the army was clearly intentional, but that Zhang Shaoshuai, as the actual commander of the Northeast Army, had repeatedly ordered that if the army attacked, the officers and men of the Beida Battalion would put their guns and ammunition into the warehouse to avoid conflicts, and their own commander's department would come forward to negotiate.

Naturally, this order was given by the well-known Chairman Chiang.

Zhang Xinghan was full of disdain for this order of non-resistance, which seemed to be extremely stupid in later generations, because the 300,000 well-equipped Northeast Army of the non-resistance order was driven out of the four eastern provinces by the Kwantung Army without firing a single shot, 30 million compatriots became slaves of the country, and more than 1 million square kilometers of land were lost.

This is a great shame and a great shame for the entire Chinese nation, because the 300,000 elite troops of the Northeast Army lost one-ninth of their country without firing a single shot, with the result that tens of millions of compatriots have since been in dire straits and left to be slaughtered by others.

However, Zhang Xinghan was powerless to change it at this time, because he was only a battalion-level commander of the Northeast Army, and he was powerless to change the high-level decision-making of the entire Northeast Army.

But there is one thing that Zhang Xinghan can do, that is, he will train the officers and soldiers of the third battalion diligently, and when the arrival of 918 is true, he will lead the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to defend the northern battalion with blood and defend Fengtian City (Shenyang)! This is the responsibility of a soldier. Defend the country! Although there are nine deaths, there are no regrets!

……………………

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion who were practicing stabbing on the field shouted in unison and resounded over the entire Beida Battalion, and Zhang Xinghan also woke up from his contemplation just now.

Although Major Marshal Zhang issued an order of "no resistance", the vast majority of the soldiers of the Northeast Army had long been unaccustomed to the atrocities of the Yue Army, so the officers and men of all departments did not relax in the slightest in training, and were always waiting for the young marshal to lead them to fight to the death against Yue Kou.

It's just that the officers and men of the Northeast Army didn't know that as soon as the war began, the absolute leader in their hearts and the soul of the Northeast Army, Zhang Shaomarang, actually insisted on going his own way and ignorantly carrying out Chairman Chiang's appeasement policy of settling the outside world and at home, resulting in hundreds of thousands of officers and men in the Northeast losing their armor and retreating into the customs without firing a single shot.

Thirty million people were displaced, trampled by the iron hooves of the Emperor, and since then they have been in dire straits, and have been slaves to the country for 14 years.

As everyone knows, the retreat of the Northeast Army has caused the country to be opened, and the people inside and outside the border have been devastated by the war, and hundreds of people have been destroyed and displaced.

If the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army knew the result, I think as long as they are still gentlemen and the egg in their crotch is still there, they will never be willing to lose their hometown, their fathers and fellow villagers to the enemy, and become despicable slaves of the country! Zhang Xinghan said secretly in his heart.

Half a month, although it was not much, Zhang Xinghan still taught the officers and soldiers of the third battalion everything he had learned in the army in his previous life, and only hoped that they could learn more skills in killing the enemy and kill more in the next battle.

Although the officers and men of the Third Battalion obviously did not have a good understanding of the new training method taught to them by the battalion commander, it is no wonder that how could they have learned about the training method more than 60 years later, that this training method has been summed up after countless actual battles, and even the German army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness in World War II, could not reach it today.

Fortunately, Zhang Xinghan's prestige in the hearts of all the officers and men of the Third Battalion is still very high, and although the officers and men do not understand it, they are also training diligently under the guidance of Zhang Xinghan.

At this moment, a burly officer in a colonel's uniform strode over, followed by a guard.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Zhang Xinghan turned around and looked, and immediately stood up and said: "Tuanza!" "The person who came was Wang Tiehan, colonel of the 620th Regiment of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army.

"Hmm!" Wang Tiehan saluted back with a solemn expression and said, "Xinghan, it's a good job!" ”

At present, he holds so-called military exercises from time to time, but he really wants to take away the four eastern provinces of China, as a soldier of the four provinces, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the enemy, and it is really a matter of duty to train diligently!" Zhang Xinghan said indifferently.

"Xinghan, what you said is good! Pay close attention to training, serve the country in the future, and protect the villagers and elders! Wang Tiehan nodded.

"Yes!" Zhang Xinghan stood upright and answered without squinting.

At this time, the officers and men had stopped their morning exercises, and it was time for breakfast, and the Northeast Army at this time was the best among the local warlords in terms of food and equipment, even if it was not worse than the Central Army.

Zhang Xinghan turned around and said solemnly: "All of them are there, disbanded!" ”

More than 700 officers and soldiers of the battalion immediately dispersed, they should sweat in training, they should eat green onions and garlic, the favorite of the soldiers of the Northeast Army, green onion dipping sauce.

At this time, the total strength of the 7th Brigade reached more than 10,000 people, including more than 8,000 combat personnel, and it had three infantry regiments, each of which had three infantry battalions, a machine gun company, and a communications platoon. The brigade directly subordinate units have communications, baggage, machine guns, automobiles and other departments.

Zhang Xinghan's third battalion had three infantry companies, a heavy machine gun platoon with three Makqin heavy machine guns, a light artillery platoon, four 60mm mortars, and the rest of the companies had an artillery squad each, or one or two 60 mortars, except for three infantry platoons.

Such equipment is not common in the Northeast Army, and even at that time, it could be regarded as one of the best, and it would not be much inferior to the Central Army of all German weapons.

The reason why the 7th Brigade of Reading Li was able to have such firepower was because the 7th Brigade was the elite of the Northeast Army, the descendant of Zhang Shaoshuai, and the 74th Division of Zhang Lingfu later, and the Imperial Forest Army of Chairman Jiang.

Although the Seventh Brigade was not as good as the later 74th Division of the Imperial Forest Army, it was adapted from Zhang Xueliang's Guards Brigade and was regarded by Zhang Shaoshuai as a confidant from the day it was formed, the most elite unit in the Northeast Army, and the trump card among the trump cards.

This is also the reason why Zhang Shaoshuai deployed the Seventh Brigade in the Beida Battalion, as we all know, the Beida Battalion guarded the gate of Fengtian City (Shenyang), the largest arsenal in the country at that time, the Shenyang Arsenal was behind them, and the weapons and ammunition in the Beida Battalion, all kinds of equipment were dazzling, if the war was urgent, as long as Zhang Xueliang gave an order, the Seventh Brigade could instantly open the warehouse and expand the troops into one or three divisions.

Because at this time Fengtian City (Shenyang City) has at least thousands of military police and an astonishing number of retired soldiers, in the early years when Zhang's father and son were in charge of the Northeast, the military strength once swelled to four or five hundred thousand, and later the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang led the Northeast Army to change its flag, after returning to Nanjing Political Axe, Nanjing Political Axe to the Northeast Army into reorganization, Zhang Xueliang also held the principle of elite soldiers and simplified government disarmament not less than 100,000, among which these retired officers and soldiers except for some went home to farm, most of them entered Shenyang and other major cities or as military police, The gendarmes may have entered the Shenyang Arsenal as production workers.

Therefore, once the war starts, as long as Zhang Xueliang gives an order, the weapons and equipment hoarded in Shenyang City will be enough to instantly expand by 20 divisions or brigades. Of course, these are only assumptions, if Zhang Xueliang sincerely resisted, it would be impossible for the Kwantung Army of more than 10,000 to defeat Wang Yizhe's elite Seventh Brigade in a short period of time, nor to occupy the entire city of Shenyang within five hours, let alone to capture almost the entire territory of Liaoji Province within a week, a little more than 1,000 miles.

As long as he gives an order, the more than 200,000 officers and men of the Northeast Army who remain in the northeast and the officers and men of the Northeast who have the navy, army, and air force will be able to drive the Kwantung Army out of the three northeastern provinces within a week, or even wipe it out, and the more than 100,000 troops in the Kwantung Army will be able to quickly return to help.

It is very likely that the subsequent July 7 Incident and the all-out war of aggression against China by the Chinese army could have been avoided or postponed, because when the authorities have experienced the combat effectiveness and determination to resist the Chinese Brigade, they will not have enough confidence to launch a war of aggression against China in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, due to the "non-resistance order" of Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army troops still withdrew into the pass without firing a shot. The losses in Shenyang City alone were extremely staggering, including more than 100,000 rifles, more than 60,000 pistols and machine guns, more than 200 heavy artillery pieces and field artillery pieces hoarded by the Shenyang Arsenal, and more than 200 planes accumulated by the aviation departments of the three northeastern provinces also fell into the hands of the enemy.

In addition to guns and equipment, there are countless bullets, shells and other ammunition, and the gun and artillery production lines of the Shenyang Arsenal have all fallen into the hands of the enemy.

In addition, after the army entered the city, it plundered and looted, and according to official statistics, Shenyang lost at least 1.8 billion yuan overnight.

ps: In recent years, the autumn wind has risen and fallen and returned to the military, I hope to get the support of the majority of new and old readers, let us continue to start a bloody journey of the Anti-Japanese War.

This book inherits the anti-Tiger Ben's blood and the super Chinese empire's golden finger, but it will not be as big as the empire's golden finger, but strive to be moderately reasonable, so stay tuned!!
