Chapter Seventy-Eight: Defeat and Withdrawal from the Country

Hu Fei and Zheng Runcheng had a completely unpleasant conversation for more than an hour, and they also experienced more than a dozen cold scenes. Fortunately, Head Zheng has a relatively high level of cultivation, and he can always restrain his feelings in time when he speaks, so the two of them did not quarrel on the spot.

Just when Hu Fei felt that talking to Zheng Runcheng was becoming more and more boring, Su Bingwen finally showed up. Zhao Qiujie, the commissioner from the Beiping Army Branch, did not come out together, and I don't know whether he was pushed out by Su Bingwen and slaughtered, or arranged to live in a black hotel, or maybe he was directly sent across the border to negotiate with the Soviets.

Commander Su first welcomed Hu Fei to Hailar, and then expressed regret for the defeat of the Liaoxi Volunteers. After saying these scenes, Su Bingwen directly announced two military appointments, appointing Hu Fei as the captain of the Special Operations Team of the Northeast People's National Salvation Army, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. His cavalry is still under his control.

There are not many soldiers, but there is a place for Hu Fei in the National Salvation Army.

Su Bingwen made it clear that Zhang Haitian's volunteer army had already entered the customs, and it was impossible for Hu Fei to return to the south now.

Of course, the reason why Hu Fei was given the position of captain of the Einsatzgruppen was also because he won the battle. Killed the devil's cavalry and captured so many war horses, this is undoubtedly an extremely brilliant victory in the recent battles of the National Salvation Army! It can play an unexpected role in boosting the morale of the National Salvation Army and improving the prestige of Commander Su!

Immediately afterwards, Su Bingwen announced a second appointment, appointing Zheng Run as the deputy commander of the Second Brigade of the National Salvation Army. Promoted to one level! Zheng Runcheng obviously didn't expect such a good thing to fall on him. As soon as Su Bingwen announced the appointment, Regiment Commander Zheng should be called Deputy Brigade Commander Zheng now, and Deputy Brigade Commander Zheng stayed there at that time. As soon as Su Bingwen explained, a few people present understood that it was Hu Fei's credit!

The location where Hu Fei eliminated the devil cavalry was in the area that Zheng Runcheng was responsible for, and Zheng Runcheng asked him to go when Hu Fei led his team out to fight, and from this aspect, it is barely reasonable to count Hu Fei as a subordinate of Zheng Tuan. It is a well-established rule for subordinates to win battles and for superiors to be rewarded.

Zheng Runcheng didn't expect that his official promotion to Deputy Brigade Commander Zheng would still be stained with Hu Fei's light! Although he is not convinced, he is not stupid, and he will not give up the opportunity to be promoted, right? Therefore, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, he still expressed his congratulations and thanks to Hu Fei in the past.

After being promoted, Su Bingwen immediately ordered the two of them to immediately reorganize the team and send troops to Manchuria! Well, this time I'm really on the edge of the border! In the past, Manchuria was the Soviet Union, and it seems that Su Bingwen is really going to withdraw to the Soviet Union!

Hu Fei didn't have any good feelings about the superpower in the north. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was weak, the big empire in the north was not less embarrassed by China! What Sakhalin Island, what Vladivostok, weren't they all snatched from China by that great empire?

Of course, those are old things. To this day, we, the desperate volunteers, self-defense forces, and national salvation troops, still have to rely on our strong neighbors in the north to survive this catastrophe. Let's hope this cross-border march won't be a journey of death.

Not only Hu Fei, but all the officers and men of the National Salvation Army were worried about the future of this large-scale cross-border transfer. Time passed in the midst of this uncertainty.

Every day, new troops marched into Manchuria and set up camp on the Hulunbuir steppe. Every day, documents and orders from various headquarters were passed to Hu Fei.

The vast majority of them stressed the need to pay attention to military conduct and discipline after going abroad, and announced various disciplines. For example, you can't take people's things and don't give money, don't clash with the Soviets, don't spit, don't defecate in the open, and so on.

All sorts of disciplines and precautions were announced, and the order to set off was never given, and the troops on the outskirts of Manchuria gathered more and more, and there were probably three or four thousand of them. Among them are not only soldiers, but nearly half of them are family members of officers and soldiers. Commander Su was worried that the Japanese army would be unfavorable to the families of the volunteers after they left, and he wanted to take his family members with him!

Slowly, people began to grow on the other side of the border. Wouldn't it be strange if there was no reaction on the border of Chen soldiers on our side and no reaction on the Soviet side?

From the day the Soviet army appeared, Zheng Bingwen began to frequently send people to negotiate with the Soviet army over there. Of course, the content of the negotiation is that this side wants to borrow a way from their country.

Hu Fei was not of high rank and fame, and he did not participate in negotiations with the Soviet army. However, judging from the information received, the situation does not seem to be too optimistic. The big-nosed soldiers are holding over there, and the people here are not allowed to cross the border even a step.

More than 4,000 soldiers and civilians had gathered in Manchuria, and the sound of Japanese artillery fire was getting closer and closer. The devil's plane once flew over Manchuria and tried to bomb our soldiers and civilians, but the Soviets on the other side of the border refused to agree. The devils came with four planes, and the Soviets sent six! A total of 10 planes on both sides began to confront each other across the Sino-Soviet border.

The Soviets said that this side was too close to the Soviet border, and if the Japanese planes bombed Manchuria, the bombs would most likely fall on the territory of the Soviet Union. Therefore, as long as the Japanese planes dared to attack, the Soviet army would cross the line to attack the enemy. The planes on both sides circled in the sky for nearly an hour, and in the end, the Japanese planes could not bear it and withdrew first.

The planes of the devils did not dare to drop bombs, but the infantry did not have so many scruples, the shells were getting closer and closer, and the Japanese army was already close at hand!

Although it has been decided to move from the territory of the Soviet Union, this transfer path is definitely not what everyone yearns for. Especially soldiers, who wants to take refuge in another country after defeat? It doesn't matter if it's hard to leave the homeland, or if you want to earn some face for yourself before leaving, in short, before going abroad, Su Bingwen led his troops to fight the Japanese army fiercely!

The outcome of the battle, of course, ended with the defeat of the National Salvation Army. If he could win, why did Su Bingwen run to the border with thousands of soldiers and civilians?

On this day, Zhao Qiujie, a special commissioner of the Beiping Military Branch, who was saved by Hu Fei, came back from the Soviet Union. Negotiations between Commissioner Zhao and the Soviets were fruitful, and the Soviet government agreed that the anti-Japanese troops in northeastern China would return to China through the territory of the Soviet Union!

Date: December 4, 1932. Beginning in the early hours of the morning, more than 4,000 members of the Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and their families, who had built a defensive line in Manchuria to resist the Japanese invaders, retreated into the territory of the Soviet Union in batches under the leadership of their commander-in-chief Su Bingwen. At that time, Chen Bing's tens of thousands of Soviet troops on the Sino-Soviet border did not stop the Chinese troops entering the country.

The Japanese troops who followed behind were forcefully intercepted by the Soviet troops. At that time, the Japanese commander wanted to use force, but he did not dare to do so due to the fiasco at Nomenkan. As soon as the order to withdraw from the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters came, these devils hurriedly ran away with their heads in their hands.

This is the USSR. Looking at the vast white wilderness in front of him, Hu Fei took a deep breath of cold air.
