Chapter 83: Zhang Shaoshuai came to the door
After the situation stabilized, Zhang Shaoshuai finally came back to his senses. After receiving specific news about the Fengtian War Report and the Long Wei Army one after another, Zhang Shaoshuai couldn't sit still. It turns out that the Dragon Guards actually took their own home, no wonder they have such strong firepower!
According to reliable sources, in the air battle in Mukden on September 19, 1931, all the planes of the Northeast Army were used by the Long Wei Army to participate in the battle! Moreover, it achieved an impressive record of 1:96, which further strengthened Zhang Shaoshuai's determination to recapture this batch of weapons and equipment. Especially those planes, that is Zhang Shaoshuai's hard work for many years! At the same time, from September 18, a large number of materials were successively transported from Fengtian to various parts of the Northwest Dragon Guard.
It's worth it! The Japanese can't afford to mess with it! But other forces in the country dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and Zhang Shaoshuai can't bear it no matter what! Besides, he's been having a hard time lately.
Therefore, Zhang Shaoshuai immediately called the Northwest Security Command and asked to meet with the head of the Longwei Army to discuss the issue of arms and materials in Fengtian.
Mu Han, who was at the headquarters of Wolongshan in Rehe, fell into deep thought after receiving the telegram from the northwest.
"Commander-in-chief! What should we do about Zhang Shaoshuai's request? Mu Tianhao, Chen Qi, Han Yun, Zhang Hu, Guan Yue and other older generation soldiers, Qiao Yunpeng, Hou Chenfeng, Zhang Zhenyue, Xiao He and other new generation forces, as well as Sun Feng, Su Jingshan, Yunfeng and other joining forces gathered around to discuss.
"Huh! So what do you think? Or not return? Mu Han lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and said slowly.
"If you want me to say, let's unify our caliber and insist that there are no materials and equipment! Does he Zhang Xiaoliuzi dare to do anything with us? Scare him to death! Let's drive over with a division and drive him out of the Forbidden City! Zhang Zhenyue, the commander of the division directly under the Wolongshan Headquarters of the Dragon Guard Army, said with a glare.
"That's it! The Japanese are all covered by us, and they are still afraid of his big smoker? Besides, if it weren't for us, these things would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, would he dare to ask the Japanese? Han Yun's apprentice, Xu Jianfei, who was lurking in the Fujikawa Brigade, also echoed!
"I don't think it's right, if you don't get it, it will cause us to start a full-scale war with the Northeast Army, originally Lao Jiang and Zhang Shaomarshal are eyeing us now, if we really fight, the happiest ones are the Japanese! They're going to take advantage of it! Han Yun said with a melancholy expression.
"Not bad! If we fight with Zhang Shaoshuai, other forces in the country will also be moved, and the loss is still the national strength of country Z, which can only let the Japanese fishermen benefit! Chen Qi also analyzed with a serious face.
"Hmmm! Fight, we are not afraid! But to return these things to Zhang Shaoshuai, we have concentrated so many forces to transport them, aren't we busy in vain? Then it's better to send more soldiers and horses to kill more little devils in Mukden! Mu Tianhao looked unwilling.
"That's it, we can't be so cheap Zhang Shaoshuai!" Others are also talking about it.
Mu Han looked at everyone, took a few puffs, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think is the current situation of our Dragon Guard? ”
Mu Han's sudden question made everyone a little confused.
Everyone glanced at each other, and their eyes were fixed on Mu Han again, waiting for his remarks.
"Now there are 500,000 Japanese troops in the Northeast! Moreover, with the end of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, there must be many Japanese troops who will not return to China and enter the Northeast, and sit in the Northeast step by step. And Zhang Shaoshuai in order to preserve his strength, he didn't care about retreating to the end, although the Northeast Army lost some strength, but it didn't hurt its muscles and bones, the foundation is still there, there are at least 300,000 elites! As for President Jiang Da, he is firmly seated in Diaoyutai, he occupies the name of the central government, and his descendants are strong and strong! Yan Lao Xi'er, who borders us, is not an idle person! After the Central Plains War, during this period of time, he was a force to be reckoned with. What's more, we gave the bearded man of Soviet Russia a slap, and he will not hold a grudge. Our northern face is constantly threatened by the Russians and the Mongols! The situation is not optimistic! Mu Han pointed to the map and analyzed.
"Ahh Everyone gasped. It turned out that the situation faced by the Dragon Guard Army was so difficult.
"Now that we are in a war with Japan, some people are starting to their tails! This is a bad sign! Think about it, everybody. Why did we easily annihilate so many devils in Mukden? If Japan had eased up and become familiar with our tactics, would we have been able to achieve such great results so easily? Mu Han continued.
"Yes, in the first battle of Mukden, we fought a Japanese army that was not firmly established and rushed forward, and under the powerful firepower and the surprise of the special operations forces, the Japanese army had no strength to fight back at all! After the little devils have thoroughly studied our tactics, we won't have many opportunities like this in the future! Sun Feng replied in a deep voice.
Mu Han nodded, a look of approval on his face.
"Han'er! So what do you mean? Mu Tianhao stared at his son and asked. The others also looked at Mu Han with concern.
"Of course we can't return these supplies to Young Marshal Zhang so easily, at least he has to give us some troop expenses!" Mu Han pointed to the line of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan and said.
"I'm going to take these two places for the last time!" Mu Han focused on the two provinces of Sui and Cha.
"Han'er! Are we going to give up on Rehe? Mu Tianhao's brows furrowed when he saw this.
"Rehe is the place where we started our army, we have been in business for so many years, and we are very mature in all aspects, of course, we can't give up easily. This will be our main battleground! The Japanese want to swallow it, it's not that easy! At least a few layers of skin have to be removed! Mu Han nodded reluctantly, shook his head again, and said fiercely.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu Han suddenly said: "Brother Sun, let Xiao Ran in the Northeast prepare for a beautiful battle!" Give our young marshal Zhang long eyes! Or people really think we are soft persimmons! ”
"Yes! Commander! Sun Feng, whose eyes lit up, happily accepted the order.
"Uncle Han, call Zhang Shaoshuai back and say I'm waiting for him in Rehe!"
"Yes! Commander! ”
March 28, 1931. Mu Han and Zhang Shaoshuai finally met on the bank of the Rehe Shuiquangou.
On this day, in order to show his momentum and take the lead, Zhang Shaoshuai specially changed into the young marshal dress of the deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies of the National Revolutionary Army, while Mu Han was just a black robe.
Looking at the heroic and sassy Zhang Shaoshuai, who has a mixed reputation in history, Mu Han was full of emotion.
"Young marshal, I have admired the name for a long time." Mu Han retracted his thoughts and clenched his fists slightly, and took the lead in greeting Zhang Shaoshuai with a calm face.
"Humph! Commander Mu! Why don't you wear a military uniform! Zhang Shaoshuai snorted coldly.
Mu Han was suddenly unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu wears a military uniform, and he is not allowed to salute you, the second-in-command of the nominal Z* team! With what you are doing now, can't you afford my military salute?
"Hehe, this is the Northeast! Little Japan hates me to the core, so I'd better be careful! "There is something in Mu Han's words!
Zhang Shaoshuai didn't know Mu Han's irony, but for the sake of his own family, he still said haha: "Commander-in-Chief Mu is extraordinary, and the first battle of Fengtian has played the prestige of the countrymen!" I don't know how Brother Mu met Zhang in Rehe! ”
Zhang Shaoshuai is also thorny in his words, isn't your Mu Han's Dragon Guard army powerful? Why don't you die with the Japanese in Mukden! Isn't it also impossible to stop the Japanese from retreating in disgrace?
Mu Han smiled and said: "The young marshal is serious, Mu Han's resume is insufficient, the Dragon Guard Army has a short operating time, of course he can't fight hard with the little devil, and Mu Han has just landed in a few poor places, so he has more than enough heart but not enough strength!" The reason why I chose Rehe to meet with the young marshal is because it is northeast here! It's also my hometown! Mu Hanxin said, if Lao Tzu has such good resources in the Northeast and has been in business for so long, how can he let the little devils in?
Of course, Zhang Shaoshuai knew what Mu Han was teasing, and waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, Commander-in-Chief Mu, Ming people don't say secret words!" You have my Fengtian family background, and you should return to Zhao completely! Without my plane, can you wipe out so many Japanese so easily? ”
Mu Han sighed, took out a stack of lists from his arms, and handed them over: "This is what I ordered someone to collect after the Japanese attacked. The total was 24.26 million silver dollars, 350,000 rifles, 60,000 pistols, more than 10,000 light machine guns, more than 4,000 heavy machine guns, more than 400 mountain artillery, field artillery, and mortars, 8 tanks and armored vehicles, 262 aircraft, 1,231 large and small cars, more than 1,500 bullets, more than 100,000 artillery shells, 850,000 grenades, and 800,000 sets of military uniforms. 90 million kilograms of military rations. There are three production lines for gunpowder and explosives, five production lines for bullets, three production lines for rifles, two production lines for light machine guns, one production line for heavy machine guns, one production line for submachine guns, two production lines for mortars, and two production lines for various artillery, including one production line for 240 caliber and 150 caliber howitzers. A total of 12,000 units of various equipment. ”
Zhang Shaoshuai took the list and looked at it carefully, to be honest, even he didn't know that Fengtian would have so many arms and materials. While watching, I couldn't stop nodding, my eyes lit up for a while, and I couldn't stop thinking in my heart, this time I could pull up a lot of teams!
"Young Marshal, in the first battle of Fengtian, we annihilated the main forces of two Japanese divisions and regiments, more than 30,000 people in five garrison brigades, knocked out 96 Japanese planes, more than 70 tanks and combat vehicles, and blew up more than 200 enemy artillery pieces. In total, more than 200 rounds of bullets and more than 50,000 rounds of shells and bombs were consumed. The rest is still in our hands! Mu Han continued.
"Good! Good! Good! These battle losses are worth it! Brother Mu Han played well! Grandma's, it's time for the little devil to clean up! And what about the rest? Zhang Shaoshuai stared at Mu Han with his eyes and asked.
"Hehe, Zhang Shaoshuai, I have a few words to explain!" Mu Han saw that Zhang Shaoshuai had a greedy look, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart!
"Commander Mu, please speak!"
"Zhang Shaoshuai, if I don't make a move, will these property and materials fall into the hands of the Japanese now?
With this batch of munitions and supplies, how many men can they build?
Japan has mastered the Mukden Arsenal, relying on the resources of the Northeast, how many arms and weapons can it produce every year?
After Japan's combat power has been greatly improved, where will they attack next with wolf ambitions?
Do you know why I chose this place where you and I meet? ”
"Huh? Yes! Zhang Shaoshuai's eyes widened, of course he was not stupid.
"Not bad! If it weren't for Brother Mu Han's help, most of these munitions, materials and equipment would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. With these weapons and ammunition, little Japan will be able to raise a regular army of 300,000 in no time! Occupying the Mukden Arsenal and relying on the resources of the Northeast, the Japanese can continuously supply the Japanese army with arms, weapons and ammunition......" Zhang Xueliang muttered to himself in a pale white sweat.
"Young marshal, when the Japanese came in, did you ever think about this when you were in the capital? Did you not calculate this account when you ordered the brothers of the Northeast Army not to resist and surrender Mukden and Northeast to the Japanese? To put it mildly, you are a loser! At worst, you are a national sinner! "The more Mu Han thought about it, the more angry he became, and his tone became heavier and heavier!" The Northeast is not the Northeast of your Zhang family! I am also from Northeast China, and Rehe is my hometown! If it weren't for your non-resistance, the water spring ditch under your feet would be a mass grave of the Japanese slaughtering our people in the future! I would never allow such a thing to happen! As he spoke, Mu Han couldn't help but think of the situation when the school organized a visit to the mass grave of the Japanese occupation crime when he was in school in later generations, and blurted out in anger.
"What! Mass grave? "Everyone's faces have changed greatly, especially the people of Wolongshan.
"Brother Mu Han! Commander! What's going on with the mass grave! Zhang Shaoshuai, Mu Tianhao, Chen Qi and others asked in unison.
Mu Han saw that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly changed his words, "Everyone also understands the virtues of the Japanese, don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that after the Russo-Japanese War, how many of my citizens were killed by the little devils in Lushun!" You should be able to imagine the scenario of Japan occupying Rehe in the future! Over the years, I have been in Japan and in the Japanese army, and I have seen and heard a lot of such scenes! ”
"Oh!" The people were enlightened.
"Brother Mu Han is from Rehe, Northeast China?" Zhang Shaoshuai asked suddenly.
"Not bad! Born in Rehe, grown up in Rehe! ”
Zhang Shaoshuai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Then why did you pull the team to the northwest?" Don't you want to be king in the northwest! ”
"Young marshal, I'll tell you the truth, as early as six years ago, I started planning the layout, just to deal with the Japanese!" Mu Han said with a solemn face.
"Japan can't be messed with! Zhang asked himself if he didn't discriminate against people, but he endured the hatred of killing his father! Why is that? People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes! Zhang Shaoshuai looked at his subordinates with a somewhat unnatural face, and explained: Brother Mu Han, you can have today's achievements, and it is not unusual to think about the overall situation! If I order the Northeast Army to resist, how many troops will I have left after a big battle? Yes, last year, the combined strength of the Japanese in the Northeast was no more than 350,000 horses! The strength of our Northeast Army stationed outside the pass is more than 150,000 troops. However, our combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Japanese army, and the firepower configuration cannot catch up. Be! If I order a bloody fight to the end! It's the little devils who can destroy the Northeast! But it hurts the little devils, and in order to divert the domestic pressure under the economic crisis, Japan will definitely raise the whole country's troops to attack! When the time comes, won't my Northeast Army be in the forefront? At that time, even if my Northeast Army is completely wiped out, it will not be able to stop the Japanese! And at that time, in order to make the Japanese stop the pace of the war, President Chiang Da must have made me a scapegoat, such a trick, Lao Chiang didn't play it once or twice! He's the best at killing with a knife! At that time, Zhang's army and territory will be gone! It's nothing! That's why I ordered no resistance! Zhang Shaoshuai spit out and said quickly, in fact, these words have been held in his heart for a long time!
After listening to this, the generals of the Long Wei Army felt that this young marshal Zhang was not all a straw bag, and the generals of the Northeast Army also understood Zhang Shaoshuai's intentions, and their faces showed a slight look of relief, it turned out that Zhang Shaoshuai played this abacus!
"Humph! No wonder! It is no wonder that the Northeast Army is strong and strong, and its combat effectiveness, armaments, and weapons are second to none in China, but it does not have the right to speak at the central government, and it is really short-sighted! Mu Han snorted coldly, took out a cigarette and lit it, ignoring Zhang Shaoshuai's reaction, and spit out a thick puff of smoke.
"What did Commander Mu say about this?" Zhang Shaoshuai's face changed, and he asked urgently.
Mu Han didn't look at Zhang Shaoshuai, but glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "A general is incompetent and tired of thousands of troops!" ”
"Let go!" Without waiting for Young Marshal Zhang to speak, the other officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army quit, and they all raised their eyebrows and said coldly! It has the meaning of swords and soldiers. And the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army are even more unwilling to give up! Seeing that the two sides are on the same page!
At this time, Zhang Shaoshuai waved his hand and said with a gloomy face, "Please Commander Mu speak clearly!" ”
"Good! Then I'll get straight to the point! Mu Han popped out the cigarette butt in his hand and said in a deep voice: "In the eyes of the Japanese, the Northeast Army is a group of lions led by sheep, and the reason why Ishihara Wan'er, Itachi Seisishiro and Kenji Dohihara dare to launch Plan K is that you Zhang Shaomarshal has no determination to fight the Japanese army and does not dare to fight with them.
Although the actions of the Japanese troops in Northeast China last year did not have the consent of the Japanese people, they represented the voice of the overwhelming majority of Japanese radical soldiers, and no matter how the League of Nations mediated and how Japan explained it diplomatically, their determination to seize Northeast China would certainly not change. Japan was not ready for war at that time, only relying on the strength of the Kwantung Army and the Korean garrison army, in terms of strength and equipment, the Northeast Army was not worse than the Japanese army, and even a little stronger. This is because in the past, at present, and in the future, the Northeast Army will inevitably become the vanguard of the war against Japan. This is the life of the people of the Northeast and the life of the Northeast Army! But for you Zhang Shaoshuai, this is also an opportunity to win the central government! Young marshal! I know you don't want to wipe out the troops, but have you ever thought that if you go to war, even if you lose the Northeast, you still have North China and Pingjin. The Japanese did not have more than five years after they got Tohoku, and it was difficult for them to digest this land that was three times the size of their own country. You have lost the Northeast, but you can become a national hero holding high the banner of resistance against Japan, and you can get the full support of all patriots in the country, and you can get the admiration and support of overseas patriotic overseas Chinese. also occupies the righteousness, which force in the country dares to calculate you? Which force dares to stab in the back? Unless he's not from country Z! Unless he is willing to be a traitor! Wasn't the central discourse firmly in your hands at that time? The people of country Z are not lacking in blood, but they have been suppressed for too long. You Zhang Shaoshuai can just take advantage of the trend! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Pity! Pity! It's a pity! ”
