Chapter 50: Taking over the arsenal

The soldiers under his command robbed because they couldn't afford to eat, the officers had to rely on selling cigarette chips to keep the troops going, and Deputy Commander Tang's family property needed to be transported by hundreds of cars, so it was not surprising that with such a bandit governor in Rehe, this battle would fail. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although there is fire in his heart, Li Han has no ability to manage this kind of matter between big people, he can only try his best to do his best.

The day after the fall of Chifeng, Zhang Zuoxiang's Second Army Headquarters was moved from Chengde to Gubeikou.

The war has reached this point, and the top brass of the Northeast Army, who cannot see the hope of victory, has decided to abandon Chengde, to be precise, it should be said that they have given up Rehe.

The large army couldn't bear it, and the morale of the troops also dropped sharply, and Li Han was also thinking about his own way out.

He knew that after the Battle of Rehe, the Northeast Army would basically have no achievements on the battlefield against Japan. The Great Wall War of Resistance was only fought in the early stage, and later because the young marshal went abroad, the whole army withdrew from the Great Wall War of Resistance.

After that, he was transferred by Chiang Kai-shek to encircle and suppress the Red Army, and planted a big heel, although the Red Army was a little embarrassed at this time, but it was not something that the Northeast Army, which had begun to decline, could deal with.

Later, the Northeast Army lost three divisions of troops in the battle of "suppressing the Communists", and also took Li Han's top boss Shi Shi'an.

Then until the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident in 1936, the Northeast Army almost never fought with the devil again. With the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army also went downhill completely.

The young marshal was detained, and the core general Wang Yizhe was shot dead by his own people, and the Northeast Army, which once dominated the world, was torn apart until it disappeared.

Not enoughAlthough he knew that the Northeast Army was already declining, Li Han did not want to openly break away from the ranks of the Northeast Army.

As the saying goes, "An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse!" What's more, is the Northeast Army a camel, Li Han looks like an elephant no matter how he looks at it, at least for the next three years.

Li Han still understands the principle that it is better to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and under the banner of the Northeast Army, he still has an advantage outside the customs.

Besides, Li Han also has his own little abacus, and he has been thinking about finding some reason to get the head of the regiment to his side. Shi Shi'an is also a fierce general who resists Japan, and if he dies on the battlefield of 'suppressing bandits', he will simply die.

In addition, there is another reason why Li Han can't leave easily, no matter how he says it, he is from the Northeast Army, and he leaves the old army for no reason, and it is easy to fall into the reputation of a traitor.

He is not as good as Shi Yousan and Han Fuyu, some people have territory, and no matter who they take refuge in, they can live a chic life, so after comprehensive consideration, Li Han thinks that it is best for him to be mixed in the system of the Northeast Army at present.

Of course, if Li Han is asked to deal with the Red Army, it is absolutely impossible, what kind of team is the Red Army, their combat effectiveness Li Han couldn't be clearer, and going against them is simply an old birthday star hanging!

However, it was difficult to disobey the military order, and it was necessary to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that there was no need to break away from the big ship of the Northeast Army, and there was no need to deal with the Red Army with a backdrop.

With this in mind, Li Han decided to wait until Rehe fell, and then he would retreat to Chahar with his troops, in short, as long as he did not return to the 57th Army, he would not have to follow the large army.

Thanks to Tang Yulin, who detained the fourth battalion from the 57th Army, otherwise he would have racked his brains to find an excuse to break away from the large force of the 57th Army.

The Fourth Battalion was originally established later, and there were more than 40,000 people in the 57th Army, except for Shi Shi'an, few people would care about the hundreds of people in the Fourth Battalion.

"Battalion commander! Something happened! ”

Just as Li Han racked his brains to consider the future way out for himself and the fourth battalion, Jin Long, the commander of the guard platoon, said anxiously.

"What's going on, what a fuss, you're a platoon commander now, why are you so reckless." Li Han said.

"Battalion commander, when is it now, you still care about this, Tang Yulin is going to run away! It's time to move! This time, Jin Long didn't listen to Li Han's words, and said hurriedly.

Tang Yulin is the chairman of Rehe Province, the emperor of Rehe Province, and he has the most people, but now even he is about to run away, so it is conceivable that the loss of Rehe is imminent.

Jin Long is a native of Rehe Province, his family and friends are in Chengde, and Rehe is about to fall, of course he is sad and lost in his heart.

Li Han was not surprised by Tang Yulin's actions, which is what he did in history. And these days he has been mobilizing cars everywhere, and the tendency to run away is obvious.

So far, he has not received a notice from Tang Yulin, and it seems that Commander Tang does not plan to take himself to play. Li Han couldn't help but sigh, it would be really difficult to mix up if there was no one on it these days.

But anyway, I didn't plan to follow him, so I took this opportunity to bring the troops to Chahar to repair.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Tang Yulin doesn't leave, judging from the situation of the Northeast Army in Rehe, if there are no new reinforcements to join, Rehe will eventually be lost, it's just a matter of time.

"Jin Long, Rehe is about to fall, what other relatives do you have in your family, you go and ask if they are willing, I will find a way to send them all out of Rehe."

The hometowns of most of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion have fallen, and the hometowns of some of the recruits recruited in Rehe during this time have not yet fallen, and Li Han wants to send them all out of Rehe Province if he has the opportunity.

However, this matter was not Li Han's wishful thinking, and most of the soldiers were born in Zhuang families. Once they leave their hometowns, they become homeless and homeless, and if they don't have a place to go, they will have to worry about surviving.

Fortunately, Li Han had already helped them choose a place to go, that is, Chahar, which was vast and sparsely populated, and even if tens of thousands of people poured in at once, they couldn't make a ripple.

In addition, there are thousands of troops on his side to escort him, and there should be no problem with the safety on the road, if there are really people who are not long-sighted, Li Han doesn't mind teaching them how to behave.

But then again, the relocation of the land is the biggest characteristic of the Chinese people, and many people are only willing to die in their hometown even if they die, so Li Han feels that this kind of thing is still the best to voluntarily, don't end up in a situation where you do bad things with good intentions, and if you don't do it, it will affect the relationship between yourself and the soldiers.

"Really?"

Jin Long's eyes lit up, but then he asked worriedly: "Battalion commander, there are still many brothers in the camp whose families are in the city, and if I do this, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the other brothers." ”

"I also thought of this, not only you, but all the brothers in the camp, whose hometown has not yet fallen, and their families who are willing, I will help them arrange it. You are responsible for this matter, count the number of people, and I will arrange it when the time comes. Li Han said with a smile.

"Battalion commander, if everyone is willing, can we bring so many people?"

Jin Long's heart is very worried about Li Han, among the recruits and defeated soldiers recruited near Chengde these days, there are many hometowns on the Chengde side.

Jin Long's initial estimate is that there are at least more than 100 people, which means that there are more than 100 big families, and if you take four people in each family, that is more than 400 people.

Even if only half of the people were willing to escape from Rehe, the number would exceed two hundred, and Jin Long couldn't think of how the battalion commander planned to send these hundreds of people out.

"You don't have to worry about this, the mountain people only have clever plans, you kid just do what I order." Li Han pretended to pat Jin Long's shoulder mysteriously and said.

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Although his mind was full of question marks, Jin Long still chose to believe the battalion commander and faithfully carried out Li Han's orders.

"Battalion commander, you're looking for me."

Soon after Jin Long left, Wang Dazhu came to Li Han's headquarters.

"Well, Dazhu, do you know how to drive a car?" Li Han asked.

"Yes! Can I help you? Wang Dazhu replied with doubts. Li Han's question made him scratch his head.

"That's okay, I'll give you a task, you go check and see how many people in our battalion can drive." Li Han directly gave Wang Dazhu an order.

"Yes!"

After Wang Dazhu left, Li Han began to ponder again, the reason why he promised to help Jinlong and even all the soldiers of the fourth battalion send their families out of Rehe was also confident.

This confidence came from Tang Yulin, who used more than 200 military trucks to transport his personal property, and the total number of other cars added up to more than 300.

Although Tang Yulin's family background is very rich, he used hundreds of cars to move it together, and he still moved the Tang Mansion all at one time.

With so many military cars, the Tianjin Concession must not be able to accommodate them, but military cars are useless for Tang Yulin.

In the spirit of plucking the feathers of the wild goose, Tang Yulin asked his adjutant to sell military cars at a low price in the city, and a car worth 3,000 silver dollars was sold at a low price of 800 or even less.

Li Han has been paying attention to the movement of the car, so he got the news as soon as possible. Eight hundred oceans of a military truck, Li Han was excited.

At the same time, I have to sigh: Tang Yulin is really a loser! With such a chairman, how could Rehe Province not fall.

However, if Tang Yulin is not defeated, where can he encounter such a good opportunity, Li Han gritted his teeth and squeezed out 50,000 oceans, preparing to go to Tianjin to buy dozens of military vehicles and come back.

That's why he asked Wang Dazhu to count the number of people who can drive, and when he said this, Li Han had to be glad that he was in the team of the Northeast Army, even among ordinary soldiers, there were many people who could drive.

If it were another warlord's unit, ordinary soldiers would not even know what the car looked like, let alone driving.

Tang Yulin ran away, and the troops responsible for guarding Rehe naturally followed the pace of their boss and withdrew from Rehe Province.

Now there are only a few hundred policemen left in Chengde City, except for Li Han's four battalions, so Li Han did not let him send troops to take over the munitions depot left by Tang Yulin.

This munitions depot was originally responsible for supplying the ammunition consumption of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Second Group Army, but after Zhang Zuoxiang withdrew, the munitions depot was basically empty, and Tang Yulin left with nothing left.

Of course, this is compared to the entire Second Army, and for Li Han, even if there are only some leftovers left, it is still a lot of wealth.

By the time Li Han and the others accepted this munitions warehouse, a row of large warehouses with an area of more than 500 square meters were all empty, and only in the corner of the last warehouse, this row of ammunition boxes was piled up.

After counting, there were a total of 2,000 rifles in 79, 100 boxes of rifle ammunition, and 300,000 rounds. Twenty-five imitation Czech light machine guns with a number of bullets. Ten 80 mortars, fifty boxes of shells.

These weapons and ammunition were a considerable wealth for Li Han, but they were somewhat insignificant for the entire Second Army's more than 100,000 people.

In the compound of the warehouse, there are more than 20 military heavy trucks parked, and Li Han estimates that Tang Yulin should not be able to use them, so they are parked directly in the compound of the munitions depot, which is an unexpected joy. With these cars, more than half of his troops can be converted to mechanization.

"Tang Yulin finally did a fucking job." Li Han smiled heartily.
